    INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR GRIEVANCE

    Other: Third party whose interests have been implicated

    Is there a court case related to your grievance?

    If yes, what is the case name and file number?

    Explain your grievance in your own words. Give all important dates, times, places, and court file numbers. You may attach additional materials by using the file upload feature below.

    I am a member of the Kitsap County Rife and Revolver Club (KRRC), badge number 85427. Respondent lawyer, Russ Hauge, has violated

    RPC RULE 4.4 RESPECT FOR RIGHTS OF THIRD PERSON
    (a) In representing a client, a lawyer shall not use means that have no
    substantial purpose other than to embarrass, delay, or burden a third
    person, or use methods of obtaining evidence that violate the legal rights
    of such a person.

    Russ Hauge in his official capacity in prosecuting Kitsap Rifle and Revolver Club under various theories has, without evidence, without conducting an investigation, deprived me of my right to engage in lawful activities, including engaging in lawful activities at the Kitsap County Rifle and Revolver Club as a paying member. My membership with the club is lawful and my rights to enjoy that membership is a matter of constitutional right. Russ Hauge has abused his office in denying my rights without probable cause, without conducting an investigation without due process. Rather Russ Hauge has wrongly generalized any issues he has with KRRC as also pertaining to me. This is wrong and Mr. Hauge is in violation of his ethical obligations to insure his 'vendetta' against elements of KRRC do not harm third parties.

    In fact, my use of the KRRC facilities are well within the parameters that Mr. Russ Hauge petitioned the court. There is no reason Mr. Hauge should penalized me without due process.
