Remove Judge Mazer-Marino For Justice In Ashmeen Modikhan’s Case

The following Change.org petition is calling for an investigation into the alleged questionable rulings by Judge Jil Mazer-Marino in the deed fraud case of New York City homeowner Ashmeen Modikhan. We, the undersigned, call for the immediate investigation and removal from the bench of: Judge Jil Mazer-Marino (recently appointed Chief Judge), U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Eastern District of New York and Judge Maurice Muir, New York State Supreme Court, Queens County. This petition arises from the case of Ashmeen Modikhan, a Queens, New York grandmother who has allegedly been the victim of deed theft, wrongful foreclosure, and unlawful eviction—facilitated by the acceptance and continued presence of allegedly forged documents on court dockets in both federal and state courts by judges Mazer-Marino and Muir, respectively. Attorney Frank Cassisi is alleged to have filed forged documents in both U.S. Bankruptcy Court and New York State Supreme Court proceedings related to Ms. Modikhan’s cases. Despite being notified of these alleged forgeries, both Judge Mazer-Marino and Judge Muir allowed the documents to remain on official court dockets. Judge Mazer-Marino during one hearing flatly refused to refer the matter to federal law enforcement.  A lawyer for the New York State Grievance Committee in a letter dated September 26, 2024 to its Chief Counsel  recommended “appropriate action” against Cassisi after Ms. Modikhan did what judges Mazer-Marino and Muir should have done, by filing a complaint herself. Twenty months later, no action, instead the victim Ms. Modikhan was the one arrested during eviction.  No meaningful investigation or referral for criminal prosecution has been initiated by both courts. In addition to the alleged wrongful sales of Ms. Modikhan’s homes, her name was also allegedly wrongfully replaced on her $5 million dollar personal injury lawsuit against a vendor for American Airlines with that of the trustee Alan Nisselson.  Based on these proceedings, Ms. Modikhan’s two homes were sold and she was subsequently evicted on March 18, 2026 from one property and March 20 from the other—even while appeals remain pending in Bankruptcy Court. She was even arrested when a woman named Lynda Mahadeo, a realtor, called the New York Police Department (NYPD) and claimed she represents the rightful owner U.S. Bank Trust National Association.  Black Star News has published numerous articles about Ms. Modikhan’s cases, including Modikhan Case: Frank Cassisi Proves Lawyers Can File Forged Documents And Not Get Arrested, and, Ashmeen Modikhan Case: Frank Cassisi, Lawyer For Bankruptcy Trustee, Left Forged Signatures As Calling Card In Broad Daylight. The eviction was carried out under questionable circumstances, including the reported absence of City Marshal Justin Grossman and the involvement of Ms. Mahadeo who told police Ms. Modikhan was “squatting” in her own property. The NYPD sent a SWAT Team which forcefully entered Ms. Modikhan’s property and arrested her with two friends who remained with her as witnesses.  Prior warnings were sent to the City Marshal Grossman, the New York City Mayor Mamdani, and the Department of Investigation outlining the alleged fraud and requesting intervention. These warnings were not acted upon. This case raises urgent concerns about: Judicial tolerance of alleged forged evidence Lack of accountability for attorneys who submit fraudulent documents Abuse of bankruptcy proceedings to strip individuals of property and legal claims Potential systemic failures within both federal and state court systems If courts permit forged documents to determine outcomes, the integrity of the justice system itself is compromised. Demands: We respectfully demand: Immediate investigation into the conduct of Judge Jil Mazer-Marino and Judge Maurice Muir. Removal from the bench of both judges if misconduct or dereliction of duty is confirmed. Criminal investigation and arrest of attorney Frank Cassisi for allegedly filing forged documents. Independent review of all filings and rulings in Ashmeen Modikhan’s cases. Restoration of Ms. Modikhan’s legal rights, including review of the foreclosure, property sales, and personal injury claim proceedings. A moratorium on enforcement actions—including evictions—stemming from these disputed rulings until investigations are complete. Why This Matters: This is not just one case. It represents a broader issue: whether ordinary citizens can receive justice when facing well-connected legal actors in complex court systems. If alleged fraud can proceed unchecked in open court, it sets a dangerous precedent for all. We urge the appropriate authorities to act swiftly to restore confidence in the rule of law and ensure accountability at every level. Sign this petition to demand justice for Ashmeen Modikhan and to uphold the integrity of our courts. Also visit www.blackstarnews.com for more
