Court Actions
When a federal tax lien was filed against him, Conces was unsuccessful in his attempt to sue the local Register of Deeds in state court, the court dismissing the action because of governmental immunity even while conceding that the notice of tax lien did not comply with state law requirements. Conces v. Norlander, 2001 Mich. App. LEXIS 1954, No. 224157 (Mich. App. 10/16/2001).
Conces then tried to sue an employee of the Internal Revenue Service, but the suit was dismissed for lack of service. Conces v. Myers, 2002 TNT 219-17, No. 4:02-cv-41 (U.S.D.C. W.D. Mich. 10/3/2002).
Conces was sued by the United States for promoting false and fraudulent tax schemes and permanently enjoined from promoting his tax schemes after he failed to comply with discovery requests of the United States. United States v. Charles Conces, 2006 TNT 83-58, No. 1:05-CV-739 (U.S.D.C. W.D. Mich. 4/24/2006). When he then failed to comply with post-judgment discovery requests, so that the United States could determine if he was complying with the injunction, he was found in contempt and incarcerated. United States v. Charles Conces, No. 1:05-CV-739 (U.S.D.C. W.D. Mich. 2/23/2007), aff'd 2007 TNT 223-39, No. 07-1343 (6th Cir. 11/19/2007).
Conces died on March 29, 2008, making additional legal actions unlikely.
