How can I know which track I am on? Or who is my lawful judge?

John A Clarke, Executive Officer/Clerk

LA Superior Court

Stanley Mosk Courthouse

111 North Hill Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012

By Fax: 213 621 7952, and by hand delivery.

Mr Clark:

I received the enclosed paper by mail yesterday, and it claims to be a court order, sent on your behalf by A. Puig, Deputy Clerk. Please confirm that such paper was indeed sent on your behalf and that this record represents an authentic, valid court order issued by you. Such request is necessary given the conditions of court file in this case, replete with papers that appear invalid on their face.

It so happens that only today I hand-delivered a letter to your office, and made yet another request, the latest of many, that you provide access to my own litigation records, to inspect and to copy, pursuant to Nixon v. Warner Communications, Inc., 435 U.S. 589 (1978) where the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed "the common-law right of access to judicial records" otherwise referred to as "the common-law right to inspect and copy judicial records".

Absent such access, there is no way that I can figure out who, if any, has any judicial authority in case designated Samaan v Zernik (SC087400). In fact, as I clearly indicated in my letter, the preponderance of the evidence suggests that this case has never been part of the True Court Track at the LA Superior Court. Instead, it was part of the Enterprise Track – subject to conduct that upon review is likely to be deemed criminal - racketeering per RICO- Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act 18 USC § 1961–1968.

Also, following the recent decision of the California Court of Appeal regarding the extra pay provided by the LA County to the judges, news reports[1] that LA County had no case where it had reason to be unhappy with the outcome, and that the judges never disclosed to parties in such cases that they received pay from the County, I should have updated my claims regarding the LA Superior Court to a three track system:

a) True Court Track - I have never seen it myself yet, but I assume it exists.

b) Enterprise Track – For general-purpose racketeering, e.g, SC087400, BC370642, BC369558?

c) County Track – For LA County litigations.

Please provide ASAP direct access to critical records including, but not limited to: Index of All Cases, Calendars of the Courts, Register of Actions, Book of Judgments (or Equivalent), so that I am able to ascertain that SC087400 is indeed part of theTrue Court Track. In addition, I must be noticed of a Re-assignment Order, so that valid authority is established for a given judicial officer.

I expect your expedient response, so that I may comply with your presumable order dated October 31, 2008.

Sincerely,

Joseph Zernik

Attached: 1) Oct 31, 2008 Notice to Plaintiff. 2) Nov 5, 2008 Letter from Zernik to Parties and Clerk
