D.C. Court of Appeals -- Express Notice that I was a Social Security Claimant

In 1996 I filed an appeal of D.C. Superior Court action Freedman v. D.C. Department of Human Rights in the D.C. Court of Appeals, no. 96-CV-961. In my Motion and Affidavit to Proceed on Appeal in forma pauperis I stated that I was a Social Security Disability claimant. The Motion was part of the record on appeal. The D.C. Court of Appeals and the D.C. Office of Corporation Counsel had express knowledge that I was a Social Security Claimant and that pleadings filed by the Corporation Counsel as well as the Court's disposition of the appeal impinged on a federal interest.  The D.C. Corporation Counsel knew that any misleading statements or omissions of material facts made in any documents it filed in the D.C. Court of Appeals would have the necessary effect of defrauding the U.S. Social Security Administration.
