Today I [technically not "I"] served an article 78 petition in New York State Supreme Court against the Yorktown Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA); I am the petitioner. I'm doing it "pro se (pro-say)," meaning without an attorney. I'm going to document it for you, gentle reader, so that if--in the future--you find yourself in similar situation, you can save yourself a bit of time researching what recourse you may have if you disagree with a decision the ZBA makes. This assumes you can't afford a preeminent attorney to represent you in the matter and have to do the leg work yourself. Harrumph.
The whole process is a bit opaque, but I'll do my best to make it clear. What is clear is that the odds are decidedly stacked against me. However, I'd like to note that I was born and raised in south central Colorado; Colorado state law mandates all children born in the state become devout Broncos fans (that is an NFL team, for those not in-the-know). Our current quarterback--Tim Tebow--has proven that even when people say you can't--when they say things like "Tim Tebow couldn't beat an egg with that arm," or "you're screwed, you're not an attorney; you'll get thrown out of court on some dumb technicality before a judge ever hears it"--I say there might be hope.
