Christina DePamphilis
v.
Paul Maravelias
MOTION TO STRIKE
NOW COMES Paul Maravelias (hereinafter, “Defendant”) and respectfully moves this
Honorable Court to strike from the record portions of Christina DePamphilis’s (hereinafter,
I. INTRODUCTION
1. On 3/8/19, this Court granted Plaintiff’s request to extend the stalking order. The
Court’s Order was markedly favorable to DePamphilis, even to the point of transgressing
Defendant’s fundamental free-speech rights. The Court’s Order openly punished Maravelias
allegedly made on the “internet” to defend himself against DePamphilis’s legal abuse.
1
PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
4. In her Motion to Reconsider, DePamphilis’s ungrateful bemoaning spans two
topics:
a. In Paragraphs 6 through 15 and Prayers for Relief A and B, she complains that the
Court’s amendment allows Maravelias to appear at his high school for “legitimate
and limited” purposes such as “voting” and “public events”, e.g., such as where
Plaintiff is totally absent.
b. Elsewhere in her Motion, she complains that the Court did not grant an even
longer punitive extension of the restraining order.
category of complaints within her Motion to Reconsider. While she is theoretically allowed to
advance the second category within the Motion to Reconsider pertaining to the duration of the
extension, the other portions are in violation of the Court’s rules and should be stricken. A
motion for reconsideration cannot be usurped as an opportunity to inject new facts and advance
original legal arguments which could have been timely raised in the incident litigation. Here,
II. ARGUMENT
6. Plaintiff violates the Court’s rules in her 3/18/19 Verified Motion to Reconsider
while attacking the Court’s very modest concession to Maravelias to access a public building
where Plaintiff is absent. See New Hampshire Rules of the Circuit Court – District Division,
“A motion for reconsideration or other post-decision relief shall be filed within ten (10) days of
the date on the clerk’s written notice of the order or decision which shall be mailed by the clerk
on the date of the notice. The motion shall state, with particularity, points of law or fact that the
2
PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
Court has overlooked or misapprehended and shall contain such argument in support of the
motion as the movant desires to present; but the motion shall not exceed ten (10) pages. To
preserve issues for an appeal to the Supreme Court, an appellant must have given the Court the
opportunity to consider such issues; thus, to the extent that the Court, in its decision, addresses
matters not previously raised in the case, a party must identify any alleged errors concerning
those matters in a motion under this rule to preserve such issues for appeal. A hearing on the
motion shall not be permitted except by order of the Court.” (Emphasis added)
7. The plain language of the Court’s rule mandates that motions to reconsider
cannot function as covert vessels for newfound legal contentions rooted upon original
stipulations of fact. Plaintiff’s Motion to Reconsider is filled to the brim with inappropriate and
previously unseen allegations of fact, even including a photographic exhibit and offering notary
verification to bait the Court to act upon such new inviable introductions of fact. This boldly
violates the Court’s aforecited rule and disparages Maravelias’s due process rights under U.S.
Emergency Ex Parte Motion to Dismiss or Amend Stalking Order to Remedy Voter Suppression
noticed, preserved adversarial dispute on this particular issue for the Court to possibly
“reconsider”. DePamphilis waived her opportunity to contest the sought amendment(s) relating
to Maravelias’s presence at his alma mater for limited and legitimate purposes.
1
The Court’s rule to this point, and the necessity of enforcing it, are natural consequences of constitutional due-
process protections. Where DePamphilis attempts to inject unilateral litigation content into an awkward motion to
reconsider, Maravelias is deprived of all his due process rights to face adverse witnesses, cross-examine, make
offers of proof, call his own witnesses, and/or have access to any of the discovery/evidentiary dispensations of a full
trial with both parties present. If the Court were to allow such adversarial conduct improperly transpire through the
unfair medium of a mere unitary Motion to Reconsider, Maravelias would be greatly prejudiced.
2
Maravelias emailed the submitted 3/8/19 Motion to counsel the following day on 3/9/19, affording ample notice
before the 10 days elapsed thereafter wherein she failed to exercise her right to file an Objection.
3
PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
9. Plaintiff cannot indicate any “overlooked” or “misapprehended” “points of fact or
law” where she did not raise any for the Court on this point. Although the emergency ex parte
relief did deprive Plaintiff of notice before the preliminary injunction, this fact alone in no way
disabled her from filing a timely Objection within 10-days of the 3/8/19 Motion3 to notice her
arguments in opposition to the sought amendment. In such an event, Maravelias would have had
the proper due-process right to file a Reply and ask the Court for a Hearing on the matter.
B. Plaintiff Had, and Still Has, Adequate Alternative Remedy to Seek Amendment of
the Stalking Order Without Improperly Usurping a Motion for Reconsideration
to Maravelias’s Injury
10. Despite Plaintiff’s failure to file a timely Objection to Maravelias’s 3/8/19 Motion
to Amend, she does not lack a statutory remedy. RSA 175-B:5, VIII.(b) provides:
“(b) If either party wishes the defendant to be excused from any provisions of an order of
protection, the remedy is to petition the court for modification of such order.”
11. Although the statute secures this necessary due process right to defendants
wishing to be excused from certain terms, DePamphilis certainly has shown no timidity in the
past from delegating to herself the inverse right. See DePamphilis’s 7/2/18 Motion to Amend the
stalking order – long after the 2018 extension ruling – seeking to criminalize Maravelias for
possessing public court exhibits documenting her online cyberbullying and middle-finger
harassment of Maravelias.
12. Similarly, Plaintiff can file a separate and proper motion to further attack
Maravelias’s rights and stifle Maravelias’s legitimate affairs in public in his town. However, she
cannot lawfully usurp a Motion to Reconsider the extension ruling as a forum for these new
3
See Dist Div. R. 1.8(D), staying motions for 10 days until “the court may act thereon”, leaving ample time for the
opposing party to file a timely Objection pleading, regardless of any preliminary ex parte action.
4
PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
C. The Doctrine of Res Judicata Bars Plaintiff from Litigating These Contentions
13. “The doctrine of res judicata ensures that ‘a final judgment on the merits of an
action precludes the parties or their privies from relitigating issues that were or could have been
raised in that action.’ Butland v. New Hampshire Dept. of Corrections, 229 F. Supp. 2d 75
(D.N.H. 2002), citing Allen v. McCurry, 449 U.S. 90, 94, 101 S. Ct. 411, 66 L. Ed. 2d 308
(1980).
14. In New Hampshire, the elements of res judicata are: “(1) the parties must be the
same or in privity with one another; (2) the same cause of action must be before the court in both
instances; and (3) a final judgment on the merits must have been rendered on the first action.”
Brzica v. Trs. of Dartmouth Coll., 147 N.H. 443, 454, 791 A.2d 990 (2002).
15. Notwithstanding her potential statutory remedy to seek further amendments to the
stalking order unfavorable to Maravelias by proper Motion, res judicata bars relitigation of
Maravelias’s 3/8/19 Motion to Amend within a disconnected motion to reconsider the stalking
extension request.
16. Between Maravelias’s 3/8/19 Motion raising the issue and Plaintiff’s inapposite
3/18/19 Motion to Reconsider the extension order, the parties are unquestionably identical.
Further, the “same cause of action” (a certain amendment to a RSA 633:3-a civil stalking order
pertaining to Defendant’s permission to appear in certain public buildings) is before the Court.
17. A “final judgment on the merits” was rendered when 1) the Court partially
granted Maravelias’s 3/8/19 Motion by amending the stalking order through the extension
decision issued that day, and 2) when 10 days had thence passed by 3/18/19, within which
5
PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
Amend – a right she voluntarily forfeited, notwithstanding the Court’s exigent preliminary
means of the standard common-law adversarial process of filing a rule-compliant Objection, res
judicata bars her subsequent re-litigation of that issue inside a motion for reconsideration.
19. The Court may strike a pleading where a party introduces redundant, immaterial,
impertinent, or scandalous matter. See, e.g., Fed. R. of Civ. Proc 12(f). A Motion to Strike is
particularly appropriate where a party usurps judicial pleading as a forum to launch baseless
defamatory attacks against an individual, as DePamphilis has done within the offending portions
Maravelias at Paragraph 12). See, e.g., Magill v. Appalachia Intermediate Unit 08, 646 F. Supp.
339, 343 (W.D. Pa. 1986) (striking allegations that “reflect adversely on the moral character of
20. Paragraphs 6 through 15 and Prayers for Relief A and B of Plaintiff’s Motion to
Reconsider meet this standard. They are wholly “immaterial” and “impertinent” by virtue of
violating the Court’s rules while lacking legal viability. Further, DePamphilis commits unabated
III. CONCLUSION
21. Accordingly, the instant Motion to Strike should be granted. The Court should not

“23-year-old” Maravelias should have greater knowledge of and respect for The Honorable
Court’s rules than DePamphilis’s 53-year-old bar-admitted attorney who has been practicing in
II. Strike from the record and not consider Paragraphs 6 through 15 and Prayers for

THE STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
Christina DePamphilis
v.
Paul Maravelias
NOW COMES Paul Maravelias (“Defendant”) and respectfully submits the within Objection
1. On 3/18/19, Plaintiff filed her own Motion to Reconsider the Court’s 3/8/19 Order
which was extensively favorable to her, openly punishing Maravelias’s lawful speech in public
in which he defended himself against her cruel, scandalous campaign of defamatory legal abuse
Appellant’s Brief in NHSC Case No. 2018-483, and despite the entire “following” gravamen of
her present extension case having been proven a total and utter fabrication, she now posits the
1
PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
audacity to ask this Court extend the legal abuse even longer, and to further stifle Maravelias’s
legitimate, necessary, and rare business in his own town’s public building.1
order for 5 years instead of 1 year. The said contention is beyond meritless, gratuitous, and
malevolent. DePamphilis’s Motion to Reconsider should not be well-taken by the Court. Indeed,
it is uncomfortably disrespectful to the Court that she would petition for such even-greater relief
even after the Court graciously allowed her to lie about “following” and not be held in contempt.
4. Maravelias respectfully argues that no extension at all should be granted, for the
legally inapposite, and unactionable. Accordingly, it should be stricken from the Court’s record.
See Defendant’s 3/28/19 Motion to Strike filed herewith. Hereinafter, Maravelias opposes the
substance of Plaintiff’s opposition to the amendment, in case the Motion to Strike is not granted.
1
DePamphilis brings this contention even after criminally attempting to suppress Maravelias’s voting
activity, as explicated in Maravelias’s 3/8/19 Motion and reaffirmed by her guilty failure to file any
Objection thereto whatsoever. She made no attempt at all to counter Maravelias’s legal analysis which
concluded her and her attorney’s voter suppression conspiracy was indeed criminal. Instead, she includes
a baseless footnote at Page 2 of her Motion to Reconsider, alleging contrary to RSA 657:1 that the
Windham town website alludes to Absentee ballots being available to people subject to restraining orders.
Accordingly, Attorney Simon R. Brown commits his usual business of subterfuge and duplicity to
advance his baseless arguments, since the language “[persons having] an active protective order”
obviously refers to protected-party plaintiffs “having” such orders, not to the restrained defendants
thereof. See RSA 654:25, RSA 654:12, V.(b), and RSA 657:15, II., excluding from certain voter
registration lists the information of protected parties under RSA 173-B restraining orders. Either Attorney
Brown has inferior reading comprehension skills to a 23-year-old with zero legal training, or he is making
willful misrepresentations to the Court. And accordingly, all experience hath shewn the latter.

PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
6. The Court’s minor amendment to the stalking order is appropriate and narrow. If
anything, it does not go far enough to disencumber Maravelias of needing to constantly be on the
defensive against DePamphilis’s legal abuse mission to get him arrested for simply going about
school only for a few more weeks, until June. Maravelias’s “limited and legitimate” activities
within this short time which could involve his presence at his own alma mater are only: 1)
voting, 2) picking up/dropping off his sister from school, and 3) attending his sister’s graduation.
8. Absolutely none of these “limited and legitimate” potential activities in the next
10 weeks require Maravelias to come anywhere near David DePamphilis’s scary daughter.2
Consequently, there is no cause to make the stalking order against Maravelias any more punitive.
Official Matters”, are herein repeated and incorporated by reference as though fully set forth.
2
On this point, at ¶11 of her Motion, DePamphilis regurgitates a ridiculous list of “public events”
Maravelias would have interest or connection with, then deceptively consummates the list with an
adverbially emphasized reference to “even Christina’s graduation” (emphasis added), which DePamphilis
knows is a valid “public event” Maravelias clearly plans to attend for his own sister. Attorney Brown
again manifests his routine deceitful chicanery before this Court, since he knows Maravelias’s sister
Deborah is also graduating in June, and that Maravelias would have most certainly made a separate
Motion anyway to permit him to attend his own sister’s graduation at his own high school where he
graduated as Valedictorian in 2013. Plaintiff’s misrepresentation conduct is patently unreasonable,
dishonest, and for the sole purpose of staking and harassing Paul Maravelias; accordingly, she should be
sanctioned.
3
PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
10. At ¶14 of her Motion, DePamphilis remorselessly realleges the long-debunked
falsehood that she was “forced to flee her 8th grade graduation due to Defendant’s concerning
behavior” 4 years ago in 2015. As previously shown at the 2018 extension, this baseless
allegation was about as true as her false allegation that Maravelias had “approached” her at the
“2013 Turkey Trot”, whereupon a cellphone video surfaced depicting Christina DePamphilis
running up to Maravelias, interrupting his conversation, and approaching him at that event – after
she asserted in her stalking petition the wild lie that the opposite had happened.
11. At ¶17 and ¶19 of her Motion, DePamphilis claims Maravelias “shows no signs of
ceasing his harassment of Christina and her family through the Internet”. This outrageous
her own legal abuse against Maravelias – sharing already-public court documents – by posting
copies on the internet of filings in this case. DePamphilis does not cite an iota of support for her
12. DePamphilis and her attorney should be sanctioned for wanton violation of Rule
3.1 of the New Hampshire Rules of Professional Conduct, prohibiting meritless and
unsubstantiated contentions. Punitive sanctions are all more necessary in light of DePamphilis’s
extreme and ongoing “harassment” of Maravelias, through the internet and other means.3,4
3
E.g., the act of posting incitative bullying posts against Maravelias on social media with vulgar gestures
and using Christina DePamphilis’s boyfriend as a failed incitation mechanism. This speech is not
protected and is the very essence of RSA 644:4, criminalizing of “harassment”, committed when one
“insults, taunts, or challenges another in a manner likely to provoke a violent or disorderly response”.
4
E.g. also, David DePamphilis recent and ongoing slander campaign against Paul Maravelias, touring
proximate coffee shops to tell strangers Maravelias is a “pedophile” and emailing state representatives to
advance similar false, defamatory representations to malign Maravelias’s reputation.
4
PAUL MARAVELIAS – 34 MOCKINGBIRD HILL RD, WINDHAM, NH 03087
13. Unabashedly, DePamphilis obviates her generic obscurantist dishonesty by
referring to Mstr. Nate Vigeant, David DePamphilis’s son’s intimate-partner boyfriend, as his
“son’s friend”. It is literally true that one’s wife, girlfriend, husband, or boyfriend can be

14. David DePamphilis, the rich 50-year-old business executive paying for and
pulling the strings behind his revenge-puppet daughter Christina to wage this illegitimate war of
legal abuse and defamatory harassment against Maravelias, asks the Court to abuse Maravelias’s
constitutional rights for 5 further years instead of 1 year because this might save him some
15. Paul Maravelias’s fundamental rights are more important than David
5
Last year, in April 2018, David DePamphilis requested this Court hold a Hearing on one of his Motions
in Paul Maravelias v. David DePamphilis. Once scheduled, DePamphilis filed a Motion to Continue so he
could enjoy his lavish vacation to Aruba undisturbed. In DePamphilis’s Motion to Continue, Simon R.
Brown ingeniously stated the following: “Mr. DePamphilis is scheduled to be out-of-state”.
6
David DePamphilis’s custom of using the instant restraining order legal abuse to financially extort
Maravelias has a long history. In the original stalking petition, the DePamphilis actors petitioned Judge
Stephen to force Maravelias to pay for DePamphilis’s “surveilance[sic] camera[s]”. Even Judge Stephen
was disturbed by such a meritless, absurd, and quickly-rejected request.
