 Pending Post-Conviction Relief: Post-conviction relief under Criminal Procedure 35(c) is currently pending in the Jefferson County District Court. 

 Lawsuit Against the City of Lakewood

 Eric continued civil action in State District court for state law claims raised under supplemental jurisdiction in the Federal case 18-cv-01930.  Eric hired the Jefferson County Sheriff (JCSO) to serve summons on Lakewood.  Lakewood lied to the process server, claiming none of the Defendants were employed there.  Devon Trimmer Meyers, who shot Eric, continues to work for Lakewood.  The JCSO refused to return to LPD to re-serve summons once the falsehood was pointed out.  Eric found a friend to perform service, and he served summons on September 16, 2025.  Lakewood did not answer.  On December 1, 2025, Eric filed for default judgment.  The Court refused to grant his motion, and to date Eric is trying to get an interlocutory appeal to overturn the Courts denial.
 

SCOTUS upheld the dismissal of the case, ruling that qualified immunity protected the Lakewood Police Department officers involved in the attack on Eric.  

Colo. Fed. Dist. 18-cv-01930

Eric brought civil action against Lakewoods Devon Trimmer Meyers and Jason Maines for their ambush and attempt to murder him, an excessive use of force.  Eric further made claims against the Chief of Police and LPDs investigator.  After acknowledging the merits of the case and remanding to the District -- and years of litigation -- the Tenth Circuit ultimately upheld the Districts dismissal on Qualified Immunity grounds.  The United States Supreme Court denied certiorari.  

Public Defender's Failure to Produce Records

The district court awarded Eric $13,650 in damages. On appeal, represented by Killmer Lane, LLP, the Colorado Court of Appeals reversed the judgment, holding that the OSPD is not a "criminal justice agency" under the CCJRA. The decision was disappointing to Eric and his counsel.

Colo. Fed. District: 21-cv-01224

Eric brought suit against the Attorney General, and in 2026 candidate for Governor, for fraud.  Weiser committed fraud in an appellate brief during Erics direct appeal  the brief falsely presented the debunked narrative that Eric committed an attempted murder on 8/1/2016 by firing a gunshot aimed at prostitute Emily Elliott.  Eric had been acquitted of this allegation at trial.  Further, Eric brought suit to insist the AG bring criminal charges against the Lakewood officers who had ambushed and attempted to murder him.  The Court dismissed his case, disclaiming jurisdiction or granting immunity.  No findings on the merits were made.  Appellate review upheld the dismissal.
 

 19CV31

Eric brought suit against the Denver Post for libel against him.  After trial, where he was acquitted of attempted murder against prostitute Emily Elliott, the Post reported that he had fired his gun at her.  This was false, and the jurys verdict had decided this was perjury.  The courts decided that because their story was based upon the DAs press release, the paper was immune to suit under the fair report doctrine.  The DA was immune under sovereign immunity.  No findings on the merits were made.  Appellate review upheld the immunity holdings.

 17CV416 

 Eric sued the prostitute that had sicced the police on him, an act of SWATTING.  SWATTING is a dangerous practice, weaponizing police for the purpose of harming someone.  A false report to 911 will frequently gin-up an overzealous, frenzied police attack on the subject of the accusation.  Eric sought civil fraud claims, along with criminal charges for false reporting, perjury, and robbery.  He appealed his case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court (23-5028), without justice.  It is worth noting that Eric was acquitted at trial of the prostitutes attempted murder claim that led police to attack him so violently.
