ARGUMENT
I. The opinion overlooked or misapprehended a point of law or fact in its finding thatJMRs habitual residence was the United States.
JMRs habitual residence was fixed by order and judgment of the Irish Court on February 10,
2011. On February 10, 2011***. The court ordered that JMR live in Ireland, in or near
Ballymurphy, Carlow County, and attend the Ballymurphy National School.Redmond v.
Redmond, 2013 WL 3821595 at 4. (7th Cir. July 25, 2013). Accordingly, it was unnecessary for
this Court to attempt to determine JMRs habitual residence based on the jurisprudence of our
federal courts because the in personam order of the Irish Court already fixed the habitual
residence of the child and determined custody. Neither parent, although Mary tried
unsuccessfully in state court, nor any foreign court, had the ability to change the Irish Courts
order or change the childs habitual residence because of the Irish Courts order fixing the
residence. This order made the child not only the child of the parties, but also a charge of the
Irish Court. This order should have been given priority as a matter of law. SeeLops v. Lops, 140
F.3d 927, 933 (11th Cir. 1998) (German court's orders and final judgment granting wife divorce
and permanent custody of minor children were entitled to priority in wife's district court action
under International Child Abduction Remedies Act (ICARA)1, as to habitual residence of
children and custody issues at time that children were removed from Germany by husband and
his mother, notwithstanding husband's maintenance of divorce action in South Carolina.).
Accordingly, JMR was wrongfully retained from his habitual residence in Ireland at least one
month after the Irish Courts in personam joint custody award.

II. The opinion overlooked or misapprehended a point of law or fact in its solution to the
question and its finding that the factual circumstances of this cause present the question of
whether, a change in one parent's custody rights is enough to make the other's parent'scontinued physical custody of the child a putative wrongful retention under the Convention?
Stated differently, does the parent with physical custody of a child commit a wrongful
retentioncolloquially, an abductionby reneging on a promise, made under oath, to obey anewly entered custody order in favor of the other parent?Redmond v. Redmond, 2013 WL3821595 at 9.
This Court first cites toBarzilay2
as support for the answer to the question posed. Derek
believes the opinions application ofBarzilay, to this factual pattern was in error for numerous
reasons. In the case at bar, both parties were subject to an in personam judgment with regard to
JMRs custody and parental rights before the Irish Court. This was the only judgment in
existence granting either party any rights. UnlikeBarzilay, wherein
***a Missouri state court dissolved Sagi and Tamar's marriage. The divorce decree
awarded them joint physical and legal custody of the children and incorporated a writtenparenting plan. The parenting plan specified that Tamar would have primary parental
responsibility and physical custody of the children. It also included the following
provision (referred to below as the repatriation agreement): In the event either partyleaves Missouri to return to the State of Israel, and regardless of whether such move is
voluntary or involuntary on her or his part, the other party shall forthwith take such steps
to move back to Israel so that Husband and Wife and the children shall reside within the
same country. Id. at 915.
UnlikeBarzilay, Petitioner and Respondent were not married, did not have any prior
adjudications regarding custodial rights, and both fully litigated their rights before the Irish
Court. InBarzilay, the rights were established in one court, the party litigated in another foreign
tribunal to obtain different rights, and then used the Convention3
to enforce those new rights.
Here, the Convention is being used to return the child to his habitual place of residence after
being wrongfully retained from Ireland. Neither party had the ability to set the childs habitual
residence because both parties were awarded equal custody and the court decided that the child

would reside in Ireland, thereby fixing his habitual residence. Accordingly, this factual basis in
this case is more akin toLops v. Lops, 140 F.3d 927 as opposed toBarzilay.
The opinion also cited to White4in support its decision,
Although the Fourth Circuit did not separately address the issue ofretention, the courtdid note that [State] signatories [to the Convention] agree that orders claiming to adjust
custody arrangements after removal or retention do not typically affect rights under
Article 3 of the Convention.Redmond v. Redmond, 2013 WL 3821595 at 10.
Unlike White,Marys wrongful retention occurred after the Irish Curt had fixed JMRs
residence and given them joint custody, in Ireland, and at the same time denying Marys petition
to permanently remove JMR from Ireland. In White the initial removal occurred prior to any
custodial rights being awarded. In the case at bar, the retention occurred less than one month
after the custodial rights were given. Again, the factual basis of this case is more akin toLops v.
Lops, 140 F.3d 927, than White.
III. Assuming the Court finds that the habitual residence of JMR is the United States, then the
Court has also overlooked or misapprehended a point of law or fact in reversing and remanding
the judgment of the district court. Rather the cause of action should have been vacated and
dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
It is not clear whether this Court decided that there was a removal or retention. However, the
opinion held that,
Because JMR was habitually resident in Illinois, Respondent-Appellant did notwrongfully retain him in the United States. The district court should not have ordered the
child returned to Ireland.Redmond v. Redmond, 2013 WL 3821595 at 17.
In other words, this Court ruled that the district court lacked the authority. i.e., jurisdiction,
to order JMR returned because there was no taking from a habitual residence, which is required
for subject matter jurisdiction.

Since the opinion found that there was no removal or retention, or at least no wrongful
removal or wrongful retention, the Convention, through ICARA, cannot be invoked as a matter
of law since the necessary elements are nowper se lacking. The Convention may be invoked
only where the child was habitually resident in a Contracting State and taken to or retained in
another Contracting State. ***Redmond v. Redmond, 2013 WL 3821595 at 8.
Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction and they have only the power that is
authorized by Article III of the Constitution and the statutes enacted by Congress pursuant
thereto. Cartwright v. Cooney, 788 F. Supp. 2d 744, 749-50 (N.D. Ill. 2011). ***limitations of
subject-matter jurisdiction cannot be waived.*** Outagamie Cnty. v. Wisconsin Dep't of Health
Servs., 13-C-234, 2013 WL 2436500 (E.D. Wis. June 4, 2013). Accordingly, as the opinion
found that the circuit court did not have subject matter jurisdiction, Marys appeal and Dereks
Convention action should be dismissed.
In Toren v. Toren, 191 F.3d 23 (1st Cir. 1999) it was held that,
Neither the Hague Convention nor ICARA defines the terms retention orremoval.
However, the language and structure of Article 3 of the Hague Convention clearlyindicate that there must be an initial determination as to whether there has been a removal
or retention before any inquiry can be made into whether such removal or retention was
wrongful. We conclude that the father has failed to allege facts sufficient to set forth aclaim that the Toren children have been removed or retained within the meaning of the
Hague Convention. Absent such a showing, the district court should not have exercised
jurisdiction over the father's claim. Id at 27.
In Toren , the district court rejected the father's request for the immediate return of the
children, basing its decision on two grounds. First, the district court found that the children were
habitual residents of the United States-and not Israel-at the time of any allegedly wrongful
retention by the mother. The court then concluded that because the mother was not retaining the
children away from their habitual residence, there was no wrongful retention within the
Case: 12-2511 Document: 63 Filed: 08/23/2013 Pages: 15

9/15

meaning of Article 3, ***, and thus the protections of the Hague Convention could not be
invoked. Id.
Here the facts alleged by Derek and the findings of fact by this Court lead to the conclusion
that Derek could not have stated sufficient facts to state a claim for retention or removal, let
alone wrongful retention or removal from the state of the Childs habitual residence because of
this Courts finding that the United States was the JMRs habitual residence at the time Mary
broke her sworn promises to the Irish Court, promises to said court to dupe it into allowing her to
temporarily take JMR to the United States. Accordingly, the district court did not have
jurisdiction and the judgment should have been vacated and dismissed for such lack of
jurisdiction, as was done in Toren, rather than reversing and remanding.
In the absence of actual removal from the State of habitual residence to another contracting
State the court lacks jurisdiction to hear the matter. See Aboud v. Mauas, 216 F. App'x 133, 135
(2d Cir. 2007) (In the absence of any custodial rights that could have been violated by Jaia's
removal, the district court lacked jurisdiction to grant his petition, as the district court concluded.
The Hague Convention provides Aboud with several remedies for the alleged violation of his
access rights, but return of Jaia to Argentina is not one of them. [Citations omitted] )
Accordingly, by its own ruling, this Court concluded that the district court did not have
jurisdiction to invoke the powers of the Convention. The court did not have subject matter
jurisdiction based on this Courts finding that the habitual residence of the child was in the
United States. Thus,there is no equitable power because there is no subject-matter jurisdiction.5
Based upon this Courtsjudgment, the district courts orderwas void from its inception. As such,
the only remedy is to vacate and dismiss the cause of action .
5*** a court's exercise of equitable authority depends in the first instance on the existence of subject matter
jurisdiction. CareToLive v. von Eschenbach, 525 F. Supp. 2d 938, 951 (S.D. Ohio 2007) aff'd sub nom. CareToLive
v. Eschenbach, 290 F. App'x 887 (6th Cir. 2008).

IV. The opinion overlooked ormisapprehended the unclean hands doctrine and the
equitable powers of the District court on remand.
Assuming, arguendo, this Court finds that subject matter jurisdiction and, as follows, its
equitable powers still apply, the Court has also overlooked or misapprehended a point of law or
fact in that they failed to consider the full scope of the equitable powers applicability in this
matter. Specifically,
The unclean hands doctrine closes the door of a court of equity to one tainted with
inequitableness or bad faith relative to the matter in which he seeks relief, howeverimproper may have been the behavior of the defendantPampered Chef v. Alexanian,
804 F. Supp. 2d 765, 801 (N.D. Ill. 2011).
The unclean hands doctrine allows a court to deny equitable relief to a party who has
engaged in unlawful or inequitable conduct in connection with the matter from which he or she
seeks relief. Scheiber v. Dolby Labs., Inc., 293 F.3d 1014, 1021 (7th Cir.2002). In other
words, it affords the court the power to refuse equitable relief if granting such relief would
produce an illegal or unjust result.Packers Trading Co. v. CFTC, 972 F.2d 144, 148-49 (7th
Cir.1992). Wrongful conduct includes any acts which are inequitable, unfair, dishonest,
fraudulent, unconscionable, or in bad faith. [Citations Omitted]. Young v. Verizon's Bell Atl.
Cash Balance Plan, 667 F. Supp. 2d 850, 905 (N.D. Ill. 2009) aff'd, 615 F.3d 808 (7th Cir.
2010).
The second after the Irish Court awarded the parties joint custody and denied her petition for
leave to permanently remove JMR to Illinois, Mary committed wrongful conduct that was
inequitable, unfair, dishonest, fraudulent, unconscionable, and in bad faith. Specifically Mary:
a. Promised a tribunal under oath that she would return with the child and did not;b. Promised a tribunal under oath not to apply to another court outside of Ireland
regarding JMR's custody, yet she did;
Case: 12-2511 Document: 63 Filed: 08/23/2013 Pages: 15
7/27/2019 Redmond v. Redmond United States Court of Appeals 7th circuit
11/15
11
c. Promised to quit her job and move back with JMR, and did not;d. Perpetrated a fraud on the court; ande. Admitted to her deceit, under oath, in the underlying district court proceedings;
A plaintiff who acts unfairly, deceitfully, or in bad faith may not through equity seek to
gain from that transgression Young v. Verizon's Bell Atl. Cash Balance Plan, 667 F. Supp. 2d
850, 905 (N.D. Ill. 2009) aff'd, 615 F.3d 808 (7th Cir. 2010). Accordingly, Mary cannot,
through equity, seek to gain from her transgressions, that to which she was not entitled to in the
first place. Mary voluntarily appeared and vigorously litigated initial child custody and removal
proceedings in Ireland. The Court found against her position and declared that each party shall
have equal custody and that the child shall reside in Ireland and go to school in Ireland. Mary
then lied to the court to obtain the release of the child from Ireland and to defy the court order
and attempt to litigate new rights in America. The district court properly denied any opportunity
for her fraudulent scheme to come to fruition by ordering the child returned to Ireland. The
opinion aids and abets her fraud on the Irish Court and justifies refuge to fugitives and
contemptuous conduct. As a matter of policy, the opinion allows for individuals to disregard the
orders of courts that they promise to abide by, lie to courts, remove children subject to valid
court orders of foreign tribunals, and then allows them to find refuge and aid before this Court.
Endorsing and aiding in this kind of conduct is not commensurate with the purpose of the
Convention, nor with our fundamental sense of justice and ordered liberty, nor with the spirit of
the law requiring respect for the tribunals of other sovereign nations, who are parties to this
treaty.
In other words, JMR was stolen from his father, who had equal rights to the child, by his
mother, after she lied under oath to a tribunal, deceived the tribunal, and fled with the child to
Case: 12-2511 Document: 63 Filed: 08/23/2013 Pages: 15

12
America. Equity doesnt demand the return of the child to America, but rather it demands that
this Court affirm the district court on other grounds. This is true because if the Irish court did not
allow itself to be swindled by Mary fraud in the first place, Derek would have had no need to file
his petition herein, or register the Irish decree in Illinois. Instead the child was taken from
Ireland, by fraud, perjury and deceit6, and the burden shifted to Derek to litigate JMRs return.
No court should allow Mary, who acted unfairly, deceitfully, and in bad faith, through equity,
gain from that transgression, nor should any court provide her any safe harbor from her conduct
as a matter of law.
Neither the Convention nor ICARA purports to strip American courts of its inherent powers,
which include the power to disentitle fugitive from access to court. For Support SeeIn re
Prevot, 59 F.3d 556 (6th Cir. 1995).
The power of an American court to disentitle a fugitive from access to its power and
authority is an equitable one.[Citations Omitted].In re Prevot, 59 F.3d 556, 562. It is well-
settled law that an appellate court may dismiss the appeal of a party who is a fugitive from
justice during the pendency of her appeal.Pesin v. Rodriguez, 244 F.3d 1250, 1252 (11th Cir.
2001. Disentitlement of access to the appellate court applies to appeals in civil cases as well as
to criminal appeals.In re Prevot, 59 F.3d 556, 563. For a Potentially Negative Opinion see
Universal Trading & Inv. Co. v. Kiritchenko, C-99-3073 MMC, 2007 WL 2669841 (N.D. Cal.
Sept. 7, 2007) aff'd sub nom.Universal Trading & Inv. Co., Inc. v. Kiritchenko, 346 F. App'x
232 (9th Cir. 2009).
Respondent-Appellants flight and her appeal were related components of a general scheme.
She fled to escape her denial of sole custody and leave to remove by the Irish Court, the fixing of
6 Respondent-Appellant even confirmed, in her testimony in the district court that she intentionally lied to the
Irish Court.

the JMRs residence in Ireland, and other responsibilities to court, officers of the Court, and to
assemble and hold her family in a refuge beyond the reach of Irish Courts and Irish
responsibilities. In her hands ICARA and the appeal process is a tool used to permit her to escape
Irish justice and responsibilities while holding her child with her. Flight was but one step, and
this appeal the latest link, in a chain of proximately related events that began with the Irish
Courts findings against her and ended in the district court and appellate proceedings in this case.
Appellant has flouted the interests of the Irish courts in enforcing their judgment. Appellant has
walked away from her agreementmade to the court to obtain leave with the child and bring the
child back. She has spurned her obligation to the Irish government and the Irish Court. She has
misused the processes of the Irish Court and this Court. She has inhibited the processes of the
Irish Court.
Mary has abused the laudable purposes of ICARA by employing it on appeal to further her
scheme and deception. Her being a fugitive, and her actions, constitute abuses to which any court
should not accede. SeeIn re Prevot, 59 F.3d 556, 567. How could this Court allow this child to
be raised by a fugitive? As was Judge Easterbrooksdubitante portion of the opinion so clearly
stated:
Mary Redmond not only is bound by the Irish judgment awarding custody to Derek but
also promised to obey that judgment. Her promise was essential to obtaining permissionto travel with JMR to Illinois, purportedly to tidy up a few personal matters in preparation
for a long-term stay in Ireland. Mary broke her promise and defied the Irish judgment.
Ireland considers her a fugitive from justice (her contempt of court is obvious), which
also makes it impossible to see how she can realistically hope to obtain lawful custody ofJMR in Illinois. It is not simply that she violated both a valid judicial order and her own
undertaking; it is that she has revealed that she will violate any order in Derek's favor. No
legal system can accept that heads I win, tails you lose approach. SeeHomola v.
McNamara, 59 F.3d 647 (7th Cir.1995). Mary has disqualified herself as a candidate forfavorable treatment by the judiciary of any state or nation.Redmond v. Redmond, 2013
WL 3821595 at 18.

Accordingly, this Court should follow the ultimate rule of justice, do that to which they
would want done unto themselves, not allow a contemptuous fugitive with unclean hands refuge
in its courtroom, and vacate and dismiss these proceedings.
CONCLUSION
For the above reasons, this Court should dismiss these proceedings for lack of subject matter
jurisdiction, affirm the District courts judgment on other grounds, orin the alternative, grant
rehearing.
