You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.203.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 00:10, 24 April 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Robin Keith Annesley Ficker''' (born April 5, 1943) is an American political activist, real estate broker, disbarred<ref name="mdm" /> attorney, former state legislator, sports heckler, and [[perennial candidate]] from [[Maryland]].

Ficker served one term in the [[Maryland House of Delegates]] from 1979 to 1983, and has since run for office unsuccessfully numerous times, including for U.S. House (1972, [[1976 United States House of Representatives elections|1976]], 1980, [[1984 United States House of Representatives elections|1984]], [[2012 United States House of Representatives elections in Maryland|2012]] and [[2016 United States House of Representatives elections in Maryland|2016]]), U.S. Senate in [[2000 United States Senate election in Maryland|2000]], [[Montgomery County, Maryland|Montgomery County Executive]] in [[2018 Maryland county executive elections|2018]], and governor in [[2022 Maryland gubernatorial election|2022]]. He is currently a candidate in the [[2024 United States Senate election in Maryland]].

==Legal career==
Ficker was a member of the Maryland Bar from 1973 until his disbarment in 2022.<ref>((cite news |title=Ficker law license reinstated |first=Janel |last=Davis |url=http://www.gazette.net/stories/12242008/montnew205801_32477.shtml |newspaper=The Gazette |publisher=Post-Newsweek Media, Inc./Gazette.Net |location=Gaithersburg, Maryland |date=December 24, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120509210859/http://ww2.gazette.net/stories/12242008/montnew205801_32477.shtml |archive-date=May 9, 2012))</ref><ref name="grievance" /> His first case went to the Supreme Court of the United States seeking to end the National Football League's [[Blackout (broadcasting)|blackout]] of sold out home football games.<ref>((Cite news | first=Dan | last=Daly | title=Ficker Might Deserve Spot On List Of Football Heroes | newspaper=[[The Washington Times]] | page=D7 | date=October 12, 1990))</ref> In 1973 Ficker, representing Deborah Drudge, gained a consent judgment signed by Federal District Court Judge Roszel C. Thomsen, forbidding evaluations based on facial features and physique, for positions in the office of the Montgomery County Attorney. The judgment said no future applicant could be asked any questions regarding marital status or child care arrangements. On January 6, 1986, U.S. District Court Judge Norman Ramsey ordered, in a suit brought by Ficker against the Montgomery County Board of Elections, that Md. Election Code Art. 33, S 23-5(4) limiting the payment of money to petition circulators for initiative measures be declared null and void under the First and Fourteenth Amendments.

Ficker won two landmark injunctions preventing the state of Maryland from denying access to serious traffic and criminal court records. In 1992, U.S. District Court Judge [[Eugene Nickerson]] granted Ficker an injunction against provisions of the Maryland Public Information Act that denied access to police reports, criminal charging documents, and traffic citations in the Maryland Automated Traffic System. A 2003 Attorneys General opinion said the 1992 "Ficker order is still in effect and enforceable." In 1997, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, Ficker successfully challenged the constitutionality of a Maryland law forbidding lawyers from targeted direct-mail solicitation of criminal and traffic defendants within thirty days of arrest.<ref>((cite web |title=Ficker v. Curran |url=https://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-4th-circuit/1297284.html |website=FindLaw |date=July 23, 1997))</ref>

In October 2009, represented by the [[American Civil Liberties Union]], Ficker convinced parks officials in Montgomery and Prince George's counties to rescind enforcement of a rule requiring a permit before a person could carry signs or solicit signatures in county parks.<ref>((Cite news | first=Michael | last=Laris | title=It Was No Walk in the Park for Campaigners | newspaper=The Washington Post | page=B2 | date=October 13, 2009))</ref> In 2013, Ficker represented a Hyattsville man who was found not guilty by a jury of all 23 counts in a case of attempted murder, armed robbery, carjacking, assault and eluding police among other charges.<ref>((cite news|title=Hyattsville man found not guilty of attempted murder, carjacking charges|url=http://www.gazette.net/gazettecms/story.php?id=22067 |access-date=September 9, 2017|newspaper=The Gazette|date=April 18, 2013))</ref>

=== 2013 school discipline cases ===
In 2013, Ficker received widespread attention for securing school suspension reversals and disciplinary record expungement for children, ages 5- to 7-years old.

When ex-convict Daron Dylon Wint was arrested and charged in the deaths of three family members and their housekeeper, in which a ten-year-old child was tortured in order to extract money from the child's father, Ficker said Wint didn't seem violent when he defended him in earlier cases. "My impression of him — I remember him rather well — is that he wouldn't hurt a fly. He's a very nice person", Ficker said.<ref>((cite news|last1=Nuckols|first1=Ben|title=Suspect in killings of wealthy DC family arrested|url=http://bigstory.ap.org/article/4c2cb1e7a0e14dbbad799c78e9b43957/suspect-killings-wealthy-dc-family-arrested|access-date=May 22, 2015|agency=[[Associated Press]]|date=May 22, 2015))</ref>

===Controversies and disciplinary issues===
In 1990, Ficker was publicly reprimanded by the [[Supreme Court of Maryland|Maryland Court of Appeals]] upon a finding that he had violated ethical rules prohibiting neglect, engaged in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice, and lack of diligence.<ref>((cite news |first=Nickolai |last=Sukharev |url=https://mont.thesentinel.com/2018/09/23/ficker-goes-from-heckler-to-candidate/ |title=Ficker goes from heckler to candidate |newspaper=[[Montgomery County Sentinel]] |date=September 23, 2018))</ref>

In March 1998, he was indefinitely suspended from the practice of law, with the right to reapply for admission after 120 days, arising from violations related to competence, diligence, fairness to opposing counsel and parties, supervising lawyers and conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice.<ref>((cite news |first=Andrea F. |last=Siegel |url=https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/bs-xpm-1998-03-11-1998070028-story.html |title=Super fan Ficker's law license suspended Court cites lax practices by firm run by longtime heckler on Bullets' behalf |newspaper=[[The Baltimore Sun]] |date=March 11, 1998))</ref>

In August 1998, he was privately reprimanded by the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission for a violation related to competence. In January 2002, he was privately reprimanded by the Maryland Attorney Grievance Commission for a violation related to client communications. Ficker was again indefinitely suspended from the practice of law in 2007.

==Politics==
Ficker has run for various state and local offices since the 1970s. In 1972, he ran for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives in ((ushr|MD|8)), blanketing [[Montgomery County, Maryland|Montgomery County]] with "Our Friend Ficker" campaign signs on utility poles, trees and traffic lights, which resulted in county officials seeking an injunction to stop the placement of these signs on public property.<ref>((cite news |title=County Sues to Halt Posting Of House Candidate's Signs |first=LaBarbara |last=Bowman |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/access/96385435.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Jan+6%2C+1972&author=By+LaBarbara+Bowman+Washington+Post+Staff+Writer&desc=County+Sues+to+Halt+Posting+Of+House+Candidate%27s+Signs |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=January 6, 1972 |page=D1 |access-date=March 26, 2012 |via=[[ProQuest]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307085014/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/doc/148226987.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=Jan%206,%201972&author=By%20LaBarbara%20Bowman%20Washington%20Post%20Staff%20Writer&pub=&edition=&startpage=&desc=County%20Sues%20to%20Halt%20Posting%20Of%20House%20Candidate%27s%20Signs |archive-date=March 7, 2016))</ref><ref>((cite news |title=Newcomer, Pro Battle to Take on Gude |first=Edward |last=Walsh |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/access/98235950.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=May+6%2C+1972&author=By+Edward+Walsh+Washington+Post+Staff+Writer&pub=The+Washington+Post%2C+Times+Herald++%281959-1973%29&edition=&startpage=B1&desc=Newcomer%2C+Pro+Battle+to+Take+on+Gude |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=May 6, 1972 |access-date=March 26, 2012 |via=[[ProQuest]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160310061537/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/doc/148231157.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=May%206,%201972&author=By%20Edward%20Walsh%20Washington%20Post%20Staff%20Writer&pub=The%20Washington%20Post,%20Times%20Herald%20%20(1959-1973)&edition=&startpage=B1&desc=Newcomer,%20Pro%20Battle%20to%20Take%20on%20Gude |archive-date=March 10, 2016))</ref><ref>((cite news |title=Congressional Contest in 8th |url=https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/access/99593185.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=May+14%2C+1972&author=&pub=The+Washington+Post%2C+Times+Herald++%281959-1973%29&edition=&startpage=G3&desc=Congressional+Contest+in+8th |date=May 14, 1972 |page=G3 |access-date=March 26, 2012 |newspaper=The Washington Post |via=[[ProQuest]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306211537/http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/washingtonpost_historical/doc/148297836.html?FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:AI&type=historic&date=May%2014,%201972&author=&pub=The%20Washington%20Post,%20Times%20Herald%20%20(1959-1973)&edition=&startpage=G3&desc=Congressional%20Contest%20in%208th |archive-date=March 6, 2016))</ref> He lost the Democratic primary to Joseph G.
