In August 2024, Luke Wenke sent this letter (Document #149) to the “Pro Se Litigation Unit” at the federal courthouse in Buffalo, NY from the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center in Youngstown, Ohio. The Pro Se Unit is meant to help people who are representing themselves in federal civil lawsuits. According to the website:
“The Pro Se Assistance Program is available to assist financially eligible civil pro se litigants who are in need of legal advice on a limited-scope basis in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York. The Program may assist pro se litigants who have already filed a civil lawsuit, want to file a civil lawsuit, or have been sued civilly in the Western District of New York.”
In the letter, Luke Wenke announces his intentions to sue over his case, although he doesn’t specify exactly whom he plans to sue or exactly why. In fact, I’m not even sure what the point of this word salad is, especially since Wenke doesn’t ask for any specific type of help and just repeatedly states that he intends to sue over his supposedly illegal conviction.
Wenke claims his criminal conviction is illegal, which conflicts with his plea agreement paperwork. When taking his plea agreement, Wenke signed statements specifically acknowledging that he understood the nature of the deal and that no one was coercing or forcing him into it.

“I am stating my intentions to sue over the paperwork of my case in John Sinatra’s courtroom which goes back to Jan. 28th, 2022. I was at this very CCA facility 2 years ago and it maintains familiar staff members such as an officer named ‘Miss Tate’. Why, in 2024 upon my return to this facility, I heard her saying things along the lines of ‘It looks like the Google Monopoly owns CCA now’ is up to courts to decipher separately. I prefer to approach the Pro Se courts in person face to face like a normal functional adult at any public setting as I did for 29 undisturbed years with no arrest history, but given my current circumstances I am writing only one letter to the Pro Se court from this CCA facility to simply declare my new inevitable intentions to sue over every piece of paper concerning my illegal conviction. Due to further details concerning my current position in things, and due to the fact that many people currently involved in quite a conflict of interest cluster as well as employees of this very CCA facility have known my handwriting style for several years now; if my letter here to the Pro Se courts is treated as a literal application to file a pro se lawsuit and then later on I am sent back a statement saying my pro se lawsuit was denied, I will be more than happy when the absolutely certain moment comes that I am physically present at your pro se court to deny the fact that this letter even came from me, Luke Wenke, while at CCA in 2024 and I will simply refile the lawsuit.
All this particular letter’s intention is is to state my definite intention to all employees of that Robert H. Jackson United States Courthouse to sue so everyone can start talking. You all know each other.
John Sinatra’s court is currently attempting to illegally shove me into a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility unsentenced and more than 500 miles from my home. I have already been at Allenwood over the same infraction. John Sinatra’s court continues to waste my life away producing paperwork typically produced before a guilty conviction is accepted. The first prosecutor David Rudroff has since recused himself for these very reasons. I have not personally seen any of the paperwork produced throughout 2024 before Orleans County Jail mysteriously cooperated with U.S. Marshals to slide me over to CCA after I caught [enemy inmate] of [city] a new criminal charge dealing Suboxone within Orleans County Jail. John Sinatra’s court acted as though Orleans County Jail was the reason a recording of a phone call between an inmate and someone involved in my case who I cannot legally speak to at the moment was lost. Everyone knows everyone in my case at this point and everyone clearly works with each other even if the conflict of interest clause is present. The fact that the court merely suggested shoving me into a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility more than 500 miles away from home and unsentenced at that is the final line…”

“…crossed in my book. I continue to notice as I meet [illegible] inmates that probation time is always [illegible] to shove defendants back into incarceration by all means necessary so the court can complete paperwork it should have produced before a guilty conviction or sentence is issued. An illegal conviction is an illegal conviction and it’s time for Constitutionally defined ‘inferior courts’ to stop covering for themselves exclusively.
CCA is a separately operated transfer center for plenty of good reasons, but the inferior court continues to attempt to produce paperwork concerning me through unknown means.
I can only imagine if John Sinatra’s court were to attempt to indict it’s familiar favorite Brett [last name] of [redacted] with a long awaited tax evasion charge so they could have a court mandated reason to shove him into North Carolina’s federal medical center due to his [medical condition]. What a blessing in disguise that we have no medieval federal medical centers anywhere near that 500 mile range in WNY. I believe we can thank the Obama administration for those closures.
In the United States of America, Judge Hitler does not get to indict and sentence to Auschwitz without our multitude of bureaucratic checkpoints. No matter what, criminal court sponsored psychiatrists are out to diagnose all defendants with absolutely anything they find in their precious medical manuals. The common cold and a case of the allergies are no reason to take up space at your local general hospital on the taxpayers’ money forever. If ‘drug addiction’ is a diagnoses in their federal medical books then I can only imagine what would happen to any relatives of federal judges out there indicted on drug dealing charges if they were to be found guilty.
Why Constitutionally defined inferior courts continue to exert their nonexistent persuasion over CCA and the B.O.P. by stating on paper where they want their defendants to be placed is a question for 21st century legal scholars to debate. They have absolutely no say so on everyone’s part, not just mine, I suggest that all active workers of the Constitutionally defined inferior courts stop bothering to put in writing where they think CCA and the B.O.P. should place inmates, let alone John Sinatra’s court attempting to have me shoved into a B.O.P. facility more than 500 miles from home and unsentenced at that.
It is my final statement in writing over this letter that I have quite a case to be made in the Pro Se courts. The inferior courts must be equally humbled if they wish to continue to have the right to put adults in chains and shackles against their will and illegally convicted at that. Perhaps defense lawyers should understand why there’s so many inmates who keep hiring and firing attorneys. My entire case is a lie. -Luke Wenke”
