I finally got further into the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals PACER site. Found two cases by the Gastons. The cases have been denied/dismissed and are no longer active. That's probably why they didn't show up before. Since Gastons stated that all their cases were pending at the 9th, guess they lose. On all accounts. No multi-million dollar suit against the State of Oregon, no relief from Spees judgment against them, no review of parental rights. Nada.

Looks like the cases may have been consolidated at some point and procedurally dismissed. The Gastons,authors of the book on how to legally defend yourself, did not file the proper papers within the legal time period. A district court had also denied a Certificate of Appealability prior to the 9th's actions.

Seperate summaries of the cases from the PACER site located below.
