FACT! CONTENTIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL CAUSES
ACTION
15. In November and December, 2002, CYBER MARK
INTERNATIONAL INC., a public company domiciled in Nevada,
reverse-merged with Casavant Mineral Claims, which then held
mineral claims to more than 600,000 acres within Saskatchewan,
Canada, increased authorized capital from 500,000,000 to
10,000,000,000 common shares, cancelled all preferred shares,
and changed its name to CASAVANT MINING KIMBERLITE
INTERNATIONAL, INC. (CMKI); as of February 3, 2003,
7,241,653,404 shares were issued and outstanding.
16. During the succeeding months CMKI declared a 2 for 1
stock split and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission:

Form 15 exemption claim, July, 2003; Certificate of Amendment to
Articles of Incorporation changing its name to CMKM DIAMONDS,
INC. (CMKM), February 5, 2004; Certificate of Amendment to
Articles of Incorporation raising its authorized capital to
500,000,000,000 common shares @ $0.001 par value, March 1,
2004; Certificate of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation
correcting the par value of common shares as of December 26,
2002 to $0.0001 par value, July 13, 2004; Certificate of
Amendment to Articles of Incorporation raising its authorized
capital to 800,000,000,000 common shares @ $0.0001 par value,
July 13, 2004,
17. During the summer and fall of 2004: New York Attorney
Roger Glenn was retained by the company; the number of acres
upon which CMKM held claims increased to over 1.2 Million acres;
claims development activity was pursued by the company; and a
shareholders appreciation party was planned to be celebrated in
Las Vegas, Nevada to thank the shareholders, to give them an
opportunity to meet company personnel, and to announce an
agreed upon merger with another public company, U.S. CANADIAN
MINERALS INC. On the eve of the party celebration, the Securities
and Exchange Commission placed an order on CMKM preventing
any public disclosure of anticipated mergers or other development
information.
18. In early 2005, CMKM announced the addition of Robert
A. Maheu to the Board of Directors who shortly thereafter became
the co-chairman of the Board; CMKM announced a new “corporate
strategy plan to dramatically and comprehensively transform” the
company for generation of consistent, long-term growth and
Page 6 of 20
:CLARATORY JUDGMENT, FOR DAMprofitability for the shareholders; CMKM filed an amended Form 15
on February 17, 2005 reinstating the company to a public reporting
status; and on March 3, 2005 was notified by the Securities and
Exchange Commission of a temporary suspension of trading of the
company’s stock (Pink Sheets-CMKX) based upon, inter alia,
concerns over the “adequacy” of publicly available information.
19. On March 16, 2005 the Securities and Exchange
Commission instituted a public administrative proceeding pursuant
to Section 12 (j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against
CMKM to determine whether the company was required to file
periodic reports under Section 12(g) and whether CMKM failed to
comply with Section 13(a), and rules there-under, by failing to so
file. CMKM responded on April 11, 2005 admitting that CMKM had
a duty to file public reports and alleging various grounds of
mistake, malpractice and other affirmative defenses to the factual
allegations.
20. From March 17, 2005 through April 29, 2005 CMKM
traded publicly in the US under the trading symbol “CMKX,” a total
of 551,756,751,833 shares, an average share volume of more than
17 billion shares per day, reaching a maximum on April 21, 2005 of
94,654,588,201 shares. These figures do not include foreign
trades nor trades made on an ex-clearing basis such as those
disclosed by Jefferies & Company , Inc. on May 6, 2005: between
March 25, 2004 and September 21, 2004 Jefferies traded
111,780,681,204 shares of CMKX stock on an ex-clearing basis.
21. On May 10, 2005 the Section 12 (j) administrative
proceeding was conducted in a United States Central District of
California courtroom; the Administrative Law Judge, Honorable2

24
25
ar
28
Brenda P. Murray entered her decision on July 12, 2005 finding the
facts to be as alleged by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CMKM then filed a Petition for Review which was granted, and a
briefing schedule set.
22. On October 20, 2005: Robert A. Maheu resigned as a
member and co-chairman of the CMKM Board of Directors; Urban
Casavant agreed to remain as the sole officer and Director of CMKM
until the affairs of CMKM were wound up to ensure all shares and
other assets of CMKM were properly distributed to its stockholders;
CMKM entered into an agreement with Entourage Mining Ltd.
pursuant to which CMKM assigned its 50% interest in United Carina
Resources Corp. to Entourage for 15,000,000 shares of stock, sold
its 36% interest in Nevada Minerals, Inc. claims to Entourage for
5,000,000 shares of stock, and made a joint agreement with
101047025 Saskatchewan Inc. and Entourage whereby certain
claims were transferred and CMKM became entitled to receive
30,000,000 shares of stock; CMKM’s other agreements with United
Carina Resources Corp. and Nevada Minerals Inc. were terminated.
23. On October 21, 2005 CMKM approved formation of a
Task Force consisting of Robert A. Maheu, Donald J. Stoecklein and
Bill Frizzell for the purpose of assisting CMKM and Mr. Maheu, as
“designated Trustee, to conduct an orderly and verifiable pro rata
liquidating distribution of any Entourage Mining Ltd. shares...and
any other available assets of CMKM;” the SEC Petition for Review
was withdrawn by CMKM on October 21, 2005 and a Securities and
Exchange Commission Order de-registering CMKM subsequently
was formally entered on October 28, 2005. CMKM had
703,518,875,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding20
a

or
on that date.
24. On November 4, 2005 CMKM established a web site
(CMKMTaskForce.com) for the purpose, inter alia, of advising all
shareholders to request physical share certificates evidencing their
ownership interest in CMKM as one means of establishing that they
were bona fide shareholders of the company. The company
intended at that time to wind up its affairs and distribute the 50
million shares of Entourage Mining Ltd. stock and any other assets,
including previously unpaid dividends, to the bona fide
shareholders. The web site set forth procedures to be followed and
established a means of registering all bona fide shareholder
certificates prior to December 31, 2005; certificates evidencing
43,309,298,585, shares had been registered at that time.
25. A frequently asked question (FAQ) page was added to
the web site on the evening of November 4, 2005 and in response
to a question about the degree of naked shorting of CMKM stock,
the Task Force indicated that “Credible information indicates the
number of naked short shares is potentially as high as 2 Trillion
shares.”
26. The Task Force issued a press release on January 19,
2006 discussing a reduction in total shares of Entourage Mining
Ltd. stock to be distributed to CMKM shareholders from 50 Million
shares to 45 Million shares as a result of a reduction in mining
claims involved. The Task Force also discussed issues involving
difficulties obtaining physical share certificates being experienced
by shareholders; accordingly the deadline date for registration of
shares was extended to March 15, 2006. The Task Force was
provided a new “cert list” by First Global Stock Transfer showing
Page 9
‘COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT, FOR DAMAGES FOR VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTScerts issued “and active” on January 13, 2006; ADP Services also
provided information to the Task Force. This data reflected a
sample of 25,021 certificates representing 350,000,000,000 plus
shares of stock and a total of more than 67,000 additional
certificates to be counted.
27. On March 16, 2006 the Task Force issued a public
release that “...we received a visit in our office [in Tyler, Texas] by
an E-Trade rep today. This rep personally hand delivered copies of
approximately 4000” certificates. Further information regarding
on-going discussions with the DTCC and other brokerage houses
was also provided.
28. The Task Force provided additional information on March
20, 2006, extending the time for registration of certificates to May
15, 2006, advising the shareholders that Urban Casavant and his
immediate family would not participate in the share distribution,
and advising that a printed notice to stock holders would be
published in at least one nationally circulated United States
newspaper.
29. On May 25, 2006 the Task Force received a second
batch of 1,200 share certificates from AmeriTrade, having received
some 1,000 share certificates a week earlier. AmeriTrade’s cover
letter indicated that several hundred more certificates would be
delivered within “the next few days.” The deadline for registering
certificates of May 15, 2006 had not been extended, although the
Task Force continued to advise shareholders that they should

than 635 Billion shares,
30. Kevin West was hired pursuant to a written agreement
by CMKM during the summer of 2006 to assist in winding up the
affairs of the company and, more specifically, coordinating the
share certificate pull. After serving nearly a year as Interim CEO,
Kevin West was appointed Chairman of the Board on March 29,
2007 after which Urban Casavant stepped down as sole director,
president, secretary and treasurer of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. Mr.
West soon thereafter appointed Bill Frizzell as CMKM General
Counsel and provided instructions for the filing of a number of
lawsuits to attempt to recover moneys and other assets which had
been wrongfully taken from the company.
31. During the period of June 1, 2004 through October 28,
2005 a total of 2.25 Trillion “phantom” shares of CMKM Diamonds
Inc, was sold into the public market through legitimate brokers,
illegitimate brokers and dealers, market makers, hedge funds, ex-
clearing transactions and private transactions. The sales of the
majority of such shares were at all times known to the Securities
and Exchange Commission, including Defendants herein.
32, At some date prior to June 1, 2004 the Securities and
Exchange Commission in concert with the Department of Justice of
the United States, together combined with Robert A. Maheu and
others to utilize CMKM Diamonds, Inc. for the purpose of trapping a
number of widely disbursed entities and persons who were believed
to be engaged in naked short selling of CMKM Diamonds Inc. stock
and cellar boxing the company. The Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Department of Justice, with assistance from
ge 1 0f 20
COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT. FOR DAMAGES FOR VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTSthe Department of Homeland Security, believed and developed
evidence that said short sellers were utilizing their activities to
illegally launder moneys, wrongfully export moneys, avoid payment
of taxes, and to support foreign terrorist operations. To fulfill the
plan to criminally trap such wrongdoers, the Securities and
Exchange Commission, with assistance from the Departments of
Justice and Homeland Security:
a) Assisted in and approved the retention of Roger Glenn, a
ex-SEC trial attorney and drafter of Sarbanes-Oxley, t
join CMKM Diamonds Inc. for the purpose of verifying
claims value, increasing authorized shares of stock t
800,000,000,000, and supervising from the inside of the
company;
b) Encouraged the company to expand its promotional
activities, assisted in the set up of the “racing activities” of
the company, and underwrote a substantial portion of the
cost of such activities;
c) Consented to, facilitated, and supported the sale of certain)
company claims to several foreign corporations;
d) Consented to, facilitated, and supported the conference:
between Robert A. Maheu and his associates on the one
hand, and the wrongdoing short sellers on the other, all
for the purpose of settling the potential liability of said
wrongdoers with consent of the U. S. Government and a
representation of no criminal prosecution for such illegal
sales;
//e) Consented to, facilitated, and supported the declaration o'
dividends payable by the company to each common]
shareholder of CMKM Diamonds, Inc.
Consented to, facilitated, and supported the distribution of
shares of CIM, a private company owned by Urban]
Casavant, as a stock dividend, including consent and|
approval of distribution of said shares to holders of more,
than 1.4 Trillion shares of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. commot
stock.
33. During the period from November, 2004 through April,
2005, CMKM Diamonds, Inc. negotiated the sale of some of its
Saskatchewan, Canada mineral claims to three Chinese domiciled
corporations with the advice and consent, inter alia, of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Proceeds from the
consummation of such sales were placed into a frozen trust for
disbursal at a later time.
34, During the period from March, 2004 through August,
2006, on behalf of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. Robert A. Maheu, with
assistance from others, negotiated a settlement with the
illegitimate brokers, dealers, market makers, hedge funds, and
other persons and entities that had engaged in naked short selling
of CMKM Diamonds Inc. stock and cellar boxing the company. In
exchange for a U. S. Government promise of no prosecution for
such sales, the wrongdoers each promised to pay negotiated
amounts to a frozen trust for disbursal at a later time.
35. Plaintiffs herein are informed and believe, and based
thereon allege, that other moneys have been collected for the
benefit of the shareholders of CMKM Diamonds, Inc. from the
Page 13 0f 20
‘COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT, FOR DAMAGiDepository Trust & Clearing Corporation, from the United States
Government, and from the sale of additional assets including
consent to enter into joint venture agreements with other
companies holding mineral claims in Saskatchewan, Canada.
Plaintiffs herein are further informed and believe, and based
thereon allege, that said moneys, collected for the benefit of
shareholders have also been placed in a trust or are otherwise now
held in trust by the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation and
the United States Treasury.
36. Plaintiffs herein are informed and believe, and based
thereon allege, that at all times mentioned, the Securities and
Exchange Commission reserved unto itself the sole and absolute
discretion to determine when moneys collected pursuant to the
scheme set forth above would and could be released for
distribution.
37. Demand for release of said moneys has been repeatedly
presented to the Securities and Exchange Commission without
result. Agents and employees of the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the Department of Justice have represented
repeatedly that the release of moneys for distribution was
imminent, and/or would occur within several weeks, and/or would
occur within less than a month. Each of said representations have
been made knowing them to be false, and at the specific direction
of the named Defendants. These actions of withholding distribution
of said moneys, without compensation and without due process of
law, amount to a taking of the property of the individual Plaintiffs
and of all similarly situated.
//38. At all times mentioned herein, the Defendants acted
with deliberate indifference or reckless disregard for the
Constitutional and other rights of all Plaintiffs, or with the intention
and knowledge that they were violating Plaintiffs’ Constitutional or
other rights or to cause them other injuries, losses and damage.
39. As a result of the Defendants’ misconduct, each of the
named Plaintiffs and all of those similarly situated, have been
denied their Constitutional rights, including, but not limited to, their
Fifth Amendment right to be secure in their property, free from
taking without just compensation and without due process of law,
and have suffered injuries and property loss in excess of Three
Trillion Dollars.
CLASS ACTION ALLEGATIONS
40. Plaintiffs bring this action individually, and on behalf of
all others similarly situated, and in the public interest.
41. Plaintiffs bring this action on behalf of a class of persons
who were and are bona fide shareholders in CMKM Diamonds, Inc.,
a public company directly supervised by the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
42. Plaintiffs are members of said class, have a claim typical
of the claims of all members of said class, and will fairly and
adequately represent the interests of the members of said class.
43. The members of said class are so numerous that joinder
of all members is impracticable.
44. All of the class members are wholly identifiable from
documents known to be in the possession of Defendants and of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

45. The claims of the members of said class present
common issues of fact and law which predominate over any
questions affecting only individual members of the class.
46. The defenses available to defendants to the claims of
the members of the class present common issues of fact and law
which predominate over any questions affecting only individual
members of the class.
47. The prosecution of separate actions by the individual
members of the class would create a risk of inconsistent or varying
adjudications which would establish incompatible standards of
conduct for defendants.
48. Adjudications with respect to individual members of said
class would, as a practical matter be dispositive of the interest of
other members not parties to the individual adjudications or would
substantially impair or impede the right and/or ability to protect
their interest.
49. Defendants have acted or refused to act on grounds
generally applicable to said class thereby making appropriate final
injunctive relief with respect to the class as a whole.
50. Unless ordered by this court, Defendants will continue
their illegal and wrongful conduct, and repeated actions by
individual class members will be required to obtain relief; and
thereby the remedies available at law are inadequate.
51. For all of the above reasons, a class action is superior to
other available methods for the fair and efficient adjudication of the
claims alleged herein.

COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT, FOR DAMAGES FOR VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTSFIRST CAUSE OF ACTION
(FOR DECLARATORY RELIEF AGAINST ALL DEFENDANTS)
52. Plaintiffs incorporate as though fully set forth herein, all
of the allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 39 above.
53. Plaintiffs allege that an actual controversy exists in this
jurisdiction, in that it is the Plaintiffs’ contention that:
a) The Defendants are, or in the past were,
Commissioners of the SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE
COMMISSION, an agency of the UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA. At all relevant times herein, said Defendants were
acting as individuals and in their official capacity as agents of
the SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
b) On and after January 1, 2006, the Defendants,
acting alone and acting in concert with each other, and acting
without just cause, did consciously, knowingly, intentionally
and wrongfully cause certain acts and omissions to proceed in
such manner as to hinder, delay, and ultimately prevent the
distribution of moneys held for the benefit of Plaintiffs, and all
similarly situated, said moneys being payable to each said
person on a per share basis.
c) The Defendants, and each of them, acted in their
individual and their official capacities with deliberate or
reckless disregard for the Constitutional and other rights of
Plaintiffs and all similarly situated or with malicious intent and
with the knowledge that their acts and omissions violated and
denied the Constitutional and other rights of Plaintiffs and all
similarly situated, or that their acts would cause said Plaintiffs
and all similarly situated other injuries.
‘COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY JUDGMENT, FOR DAMAGES FOR VIOLATION OF CIVIL RIGHTSd) The Defendants, and each of them, did unlawfully
and wrongfully cause certain acts and omissions to proceed in
such manner as to hinder, delay, and ultimately prevent the
distribution of moneys held for the benefit of Plaintiffs and all
similarly situated, even though the Defendants knew that said
persons had a vested interest and Constitutional right to
receive said moneys in a timely, unfettered and
unconstrained manner.
e) The Defendants, and each of them, knew that.
Plaintiffs and all similarly situated had a vested interest and
Constitutional right to receive said moneys in a timely,
unfettered and unconstrained manner when they committed
the acts and omissions set forth above, causing each said
person to be deprived of property without just compensation
and without due process of law.
54. The Defendants, and each of them, contend to the
contrary. Therefore, it is necessary and proper for this Court at
this time to determine and declare the validity of the contentions of
the parties as set forth above.
SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
(FOR VIOLATION OF THE PLAINTIFFS’ CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS AGAINST DEFENDANTS COX, SHAPIRO, GLASSMAN,
ATKINS, CAMPOS, NAZARETH, PAREDES,AGUILAR, WALTER,
and CASEY)
55. Plaintiffs incorporate as though fully set forth herein all
of the allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 through 51, above.
56. Defendants, by committing the above-mentioned acts
and omissions, violated and denied the Plaintiffs’ Constitutional20
a

tights, and those of all similarly situated, including, but not limited
to, their Fifth Amendment right to be secure in their property, free
from taking without just compensation and without due process of
law,
57. Defendants, and each of them, acted and failed to act
with the intent to deny the Constitutional rights of Plaintiffs and of
all those similarly situated, or with the intentional or callous
disregard or deliberate indifference to those rights. The above
described acts of the Defendants, all charged with securities law
enforcement as Commissioners of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, in violation of the Constitutional rights of Plaintiffs and
of all those similarly situated, were not intended to be exempt from
liability.
58. As a result of the Defendants’ acts, Plaintiffs and all
those similarly situated have suffered injuries and property loss in
excess of 3.87 Trillion Dollars in an exact amount to be determined
at the time of Trial. Because Defendants’ actions were intentional
or done with callous disregard or deliberate indifference to the
Constitutional and other rights of all Plaintiffs, this Court should
award punitive damages against each individually named
Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs seek judgment as follows:
1. For a declaratory judgment, pursuant to Title 28 U.S.C.,
Sections 2201 and 2202, which determines and declares
the validity of the contentions of the parties set forth in
Paragraphs 52 to 54, above;
//2. For a judgment for compensatory, general and special
damages in the amounts prayed for in the Second Cause
of action set forth above;
3. For a judgment for punitive damages in an amount
sufficient to punish and to make examples of these
Defendants, and to deter these Defendants and others
from engaging in similar conduct;
4, For an award of reasonable attorney’s fees, expenses and
costs of suit incurred herein; and
5. For such other and further relief as this Court deems just
and proper.
