I just used the search function to find the abatement:

I have received but have not accepted the Uniform Traffic Citation and Complaint and am hereby rejecting said document for cause without dishonor. I am returning said document marked "Without Prejudice" thereby retaining all of my Rights in Law and Equity as I challenge the subject matter and in personam jurisdiction of the court for the following causes:

That is called Refusal for Cause. And it is why I teach new suitors they cannot accept and refuse any presentment at the same time.

I marked in red the fatal mistake. And the first paragraph of the treatise explains why. I do not know how this could happen - I suppose the author of the treatise is not the author of the abatement. Any successful abatement will have a refusal for cause but one cannot challenge the jurisdiction of emergency doctrine without appearing.

There are many who believe that special appearances (by paper work, motions, etc.) nullify a court’s jurisdiction. Under emergency powers this is false doctrine. There is no remedy in challenging a courts jurisdiction, except by abating its process, first.

I suppose the other way to make my point is to ask, Why challenge jurisdiction if you have abated process? Look for yourselves:

(b) Requisites of court-martial jurisdiction. A courtmartial always has jurisdiction to determine whether it has jurisdiction. Otherwise for a court-martial to have jurisdiction...
