Dismiss
Asking the 17th Judicial
Circuit Court to dismiss
Hamilton Timber lawsuit
against Wanda Brant, Alyssa
White, Richard Brant, and
Brant had an adden—
dum to request the canceling of
the trial for Feb. 11,2019.
Kenneth Brant filed a motion
Feb, 8, 2019, to cancel the trial
citing Federal Rule 12 that says
“the court must decide every
pretrial motion to dismiss for
lack of subject matter jurisdic—
tion before trial.”
He also claims this motion is
pursuant to Rule 12, Alabama
Rules of Civil Procedures.
“Whenever it appears by sug—
gestion of parties or other-
wise that the court lacks jurisdic-
tion of subject matter, the
court shall dismiss the action. A
judgement from a court that did
not have subject matter jurisdic-
tion is forever a nullify.”
Previously a motion to dis-
miss this case wasfiled asking
for dismissal because the case as
fraudulent conceived to extort
the income of Wanda Brant, to
shut down her legal business
and to deprive Wanda Brant of
her life estate ownership of the
Ruby GunneState, in viOlatiorr
of Wanda Brent’s and Kenneth
Brant’s rights under the 4th, 5th,
and 14th amendments to the
Constitution of the United
States.
Brant ’s motion states that
Woodford Dinning along with
the client Hamilton Timber

committed perjury.
Citing case law, Brant dis-
credits the Bill of Interpleader

tiff is under any legal obviation
to either contesting party, an
interpleader will not lie. '
On April 16, 2014, Ruby
Gunn had 100% of fee simple
ownership and Wanda Brant
was the sole living life estate
owner.
Ruby Gunn’s indefensible
estate in fee simple that she will
retain until Wanda and June are
both dead, then their heirs
at law and assigns in fee simple.
Alyssa White claims owner—
ship because her mother June.
had died and she was her heir. '
In 2013 in a court case in
Fairfax, Virginia, Alyssa White
claimed that Bnrce White was
the only living heir of June
White and June died without a
will and in Virginia, the surviv-
ing spouse gets 100% of the
estate. '
The court also advised Alyssa
White that Wanda and June
were sisters and that Ruby Gunn-
stated that both siSters had to
dead before fee simple would

Her lawyer also advised
Alyssa White that- she did not
qualify as one of “their heirs at
law.” Only her father Bruce
White qualified and that would
not come until Wanda Brant
was dead.
