Bill Schmalfeldt’s appeal of the peace order issued against him is styled Schmalfeldt v. Hoge. The original peace order case is Hoge v. Schmalfeldt. After consulting with my attorney, I wish to make the following statement:

Bill Schmalfeldt has filed a Supplement to Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the Court of Appeals of Maryland in his appeal of the peace order issued against him. My attorney and I believe that his filing is frivolous and completely without merit. A formal answer will be filed with the Court in a timely manner. We do not expect to make any further substantive public comment on the matter while it is pending before the Court.
