Luke Wenke mailed this letter to U.S. Appeals Judge Debra Ann Livingston while detained at the Niagara County Jail in late April of 2025. The document was uploaded to a publicly accessible federal records database (PACER) on May 22nd. Everything contained within the letter is therefore considered public record; from my understanding, it is therefore perfectly legal to share this document on my website in the name of public interest.
It is also my understanding, based on his acknowledgment of the fact in past correspondence to the court, that Luke Wenke knows his letters to the judges overseeing his case are considered public record. It can therefore be reasonably inferred that Luke Wenke knows that the following letter (and all others that appear on this website) are available to the public by means other than this website.
As always, my primary goal in posting this letter is to share information with interested individuals. Additionally, I am using the materials from this case as supportive documentation to help tell my own story, to provide transparency (i.e. to expose other viewpoints, rather than only sharing my version of events), and to offer an accurate picture of what my life has been like since the alleged stalking began more than three years ago.

“It may be a good thing I did not send this secular higher Appeals court anything prior to Pope Francis’ death, because it changes everything I want to say to this court.
“It is not easy to accept that over 3 years of my time alive has been stolen from me over an email dispute with a stranger I never met I will gladly say I never sent an email to my entire life. I do not think ‘Jehovah’ the alleged Christian God listens to nor answers the prayers of those who find themselves where I am right now. I never read a Bible in depth until this happened to me. I never prayed for time served no more probation this entire time until January 2025, and it did not happen. The district court continued to insult my integrity by not believing for one second that I was a sane person. It takes an ‘expert opinion’, and so called Dr. Leidenfrost is the most non-expert John L. Sinatra Jr.’s court has ever seen. I know I came in peace when I drove out to Minneapolis July 2021 back when Sherburne County Jail did not allow visits due to Covid. A stranger who claimed to be Minnesota’s top defense lawyer called FBI on me, and nobody ever called law enforcement on me my entire life until that moment. I look forward to suing [Victim 1] over my allegations that he is a total and complete scam artist ripping everybody off with bogus prices. He, [Ryan’s dad], and Katie [last name] will be sued for violating my HIPPA rights by publishing medical reports on Katie’s websites; mind you the so called defense lawyers around me have known about these websites since their creation at the end of 2024, and they know enough to make claims that probation is paying Katie and that her websites are password protected, yet they do nothing to destroy the website’s humiliating content.
“Somebody feeling afraid of me is a very sad statement to hear. I came in peace July 2021 when I drove out to Minnesota, and I called Olean Police on my neighborhood’s prior Covid fighting as opposed to irresponsibly taking matters into my own hands. I did not dedicate my life to lying, so I do not know why I deserved to be lied to or lied about from Olean Police officers or all the others I’ve been forced to deal with these 3+ years. 1/27/22 I got a phone call from the Olean Police, “come help us with your neighbor” they said. I show up with FOIA’d papers on every time the police were called to the neighbor’s house, and here comes Andrew and Krystie of the Buffalo FBI around the corner to corner me and throw me into Niagara County Jail where I…”

“…am today in 2025 as I was in 2022. Mind you I knew Andrew and Krystie in 2020 after I called FBI as I had nothing to hide and so they kept bothering me asking questions I did not know the answer to. All they had to do in 2022 was talk to me. Nope, so I will sue them.
“I would perhaps like to see it be this Appeals Court where we make deals to come up with a Homeland Security Universal Order of Protection program with less damning ways to handle an infraction similar to the one I was falsely cornered over. Long distance orders of protection should come with video calls in every courtroom with long distance subpoenas, public safety satellites watching people drive across the country, speed of sound public safety drones to personally track suspicious people driving to a fearful potential victim so the local police can be notified as the would be assailant approaches and even towed back home if there is a long distance order of protection in place.
“But no, these 3+ years have come with so much psychological interrogation in a way I never did to anyone myself. Probation officers who have been face to face with me in my own house lie about my character in the courtroom and get me remanded before Christmas 2023 for no legitimate reason. They are not out there feeling sorry and it is frankly too little too late as I look forward to suing all of Buffalo federal probation and getting them next on Donald Trump’s ‘fire’ list. They shove everyone back in jail no matter what, and John Sinatra’s court is in a unanimous agreement against [probation officer]’s supervisor so I will gladly help them file the lawsuit papers myself to get that guy removed from his position first. Probation violations cram the desks of every Judge at the Robert H. Jackson US Courthouse, where I am told Senior District Judge Richard Arcara is under investigation for sleeping during a trial. I was told this and do not know if it is true, though.
“When we get sick, we get health insurance or we change our diet. If we suffer from a famine, perhaps we store canned food or build a greenhouse. When we suffer a major legal blow, we act accordingly. I did not think I would still be held 3 months after the Capitol Rioters were pardoned over an email I will gladly say I never even sent from over 3 years ago. I do not care that this is almost done in the district court because I have…”
Luke Wenke Letter – P. 3
“…way too many days where I get upset about how much time has been lost, about how the so called defense around me can’t get Katie’s websites destroyed, and about how the abysmal personal situation I have at 33 years old as I knew [Ryan] for 2 weeks face to face 5 years ago from the Libertarian Party which did not make me anymore ‘free’ as they claim to advocate for and which I will sue for being a scam organization.
“I will not accept the successor to Pope Francis no matter who it is. It absolutely hurt me to read about his death. I felt good as he left the hospital. Mind you that my mother’s brother (uncle) who was also my Godfather [name] died at the end of 2024 and I was obviously unable to go to his funeral due to a district court feeling the need to continue questioning and degrading my psychology. I have been making promises into the void for over a year now saying I will get confirmed (I was only baptized in 1992, never confirmed) right away upon release while also trying to make good with everyone on paper claiming victim status against me. It never came. So I am not convinced ‘Jehovah’ listens to or answers the prayers of those who find themselves where I’m at. Acts 12 of the New Testament never happened to me these 3+ years. The Angel who allegedly visited George Washington at Valley Forge saying the United States would face 3 great perils and then never go away did not intervene in my neighborhood’s fighting while I was driving out to Minnesota July 2021 seeking a peaceful encounter only to be treated like I was deliberately trying to [illegible] Leviticus 19:16. Jehovah’s Witnesses claim the United States is Daniel 2:44. I have had plenty of reasons to have upbeat faith these 3+ years, but as of Pope Francis’s death I challenge even more than I was even just yesterday on Easter. 1 Samuel 28, Lilydale NY, where Susan B. Anthony once went, so therefore freedom To Assemble with the spirit world. The spirit of St. Peter is the legitimate Pope then, and any successor to Francis answers to a subpoena in the international court because at least the United States has the Electoral College unlike the Vatican’s ‘Deep State’.”

“How long have Jay Ovsiovitch and Katie [last name] been talking with each other where Katie is bold enough to make claims on the internet that I had to withdraw a 2023 Appeal if I expected defense to continue representing me (over a 1/24/22 email I never even sent and was thus denied bail after being lied to and cornered by law enforcement)? This was never the case explained to me in 2023, so quite frankly any signature of mine claiming I withdrew my motion to Appeal was actually forged.
“I am far too saddened by the Pope’s death, I look forward to pursuing as many lawsuits as possible to actively prevent this from ever happening to me again, I would even like to achieve permanent forgiveness from my end of things and see every law enforcement official I have dealt with these 3+ years get hired in a newly formed Homeland Security Universal Order of Protection program, and I would like to look forward to a lie-free world as I feel as though I have fell victim to in recent times.
“I can ask the question, is Katie [last name] or her alleged paid employers at Buffalo federal probation forging this handwriting style and sending it to this Appeals Court?
“I hope this is the last letter I send any court for any reason. Lawsuits don’t require letters, and settling things with people shouldn’t require frantic letter sending from facilities while feeling trapped in a never ending nightmare. John Sinatra’s Court had a paperwork deadline the Friday before Easter, and I wanted to give them another week to settle more with others. Frank Passafiume knows very well what he promised me 14 painful months ago.
