Dear County Attorney Choi,

I am contacting you regarding an ongoing family court matter in Ramsey County

Family Court, which is currently before Judge Robyn A. Millenacker: #62-FA-112332. It is my fervent wish to maintain a strong and positive relationship with my minor
children, but despite my attempts to see and speak with them, the court has failed to take
any action to remedy certain criminal acts being committed against my daughters and me.
Judge Millenacker's order for temporary custody, dated on or about October 27,
2015, cites Minnesota State Statute Section 609.26, and Minnesota Statues Section
518.17, subd. 3a, which affords me the ability to have "reasonable phone access" with the
children. Also, per Judge Millenackers order, I am supposed to have two (2) hours of
supervised parenting time per week. My ex-wife, Mrs. Krista A. Dickenson, has denied
us my parenting time and has done so without good reason. Further, I have not received a
single phone call from either of my daughters since the Court order.
Due to Judge Millenackers failure to uphold the law regarding my daughters
legal right to have a relationship with their Dad, I filed a request for recusal on 25 August
2016 with the Chief Judge of the Second Judicial District to remove Judge Millenacker
from the case. My affidavit therein sets forth extensive examples of judicial bias as the
legal basis for my request.
The justice system cannot choose what protections one child deserves, versus
another; nor can the system escape its duty to enforce the law in a disputed custody
matter. Rather, it is imperative the judiciary maintains the integrity of the system, and
provides equal justice under law, showing impartiality and fairness. We must have
uniform enforcement and consistency in our laws, which apply to each and every citizen,
pursuant to our state and federal constitutions. This is particularly true with regard to
those unable to speak up for themselves, such as our children.

Mrs. Dickensons actions in this matter show a wanton disregard for the law. Both
she and her attorney, Justin Terbeest, have shown through a repeated pattern of conduct
that they feel entitled to break the law whenever they see fit. I submit that their
entitlement stems from a court that has given no consequences to their actions to date.
As a result, my children have been deprived of their Dad this year for over 100 days
consecutively. Further, there have been times when I was denied access to my children
for more than 30 days; currently, there is an on-going lapse approaching two months.
You should be informed that, prior to court involvement in October of last year, I
was an unusually active father in my daughters lives; typically, they spent 50% of their
time with me. To go from that to what has transpired this year is to have caused nothing
short of destruction to their relationship with me, not to mention considerable confusion
in the lives of nine year old children.
Enclosed is a letter from Relationships LLC, a parenting center in Minneapolis,
Minnesota that attempted to mediate and provide services for my daughters and me;
however, Mrs. Dickenson and her attorney informed Relationships that they are unwilling
to participate. Their actions are in direct contravention to the law as well as the orders of
the Court.
As a result of this wanton disregard by Mrs. Dickenson for my childrens rights,
and for my parenting rights, I am calling upon your office to enforce the law, and file
felony charges against Mrs. Dickenson for her intentional refusal to comply with the
provisions of Minnesota Statutes Section 609.26 and Minnesota Statues Section 518.17,
subd. 3a. I would note that other and additional criminal charges may be appropriate in
this matter.

Kind Regards,

David J. Carlson
