10-08-13 RE: BD 518 503 - Complaint against Attorney David Pasternak and the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, for public corruption and racketeering in pretense receiverships at the Court. // BD 518 503 - Queja contra abogado David Pasternak y el Tribunal Superior de California, Condado de Los Angeles, por la corrupción pública y el crimen organizado en la pretensión de pagos en la Corte.

Attorney David Pasternak

Alleged Key Figure in Racketeering at the Los Angeles Superior Court

Los Angles, August 13 – complaint was filed with US Attorney Office, Central District of California, by Human Rights Alert (NGO) and Joseph Zernik, PhD, against Attorney David Pasternak, the Superior Court of California, and others for public corruption and deprivation of rights and racketeering in receiverships operations at the Court in general, and in re case BD 518 503 in particular.  The complaint alleged that Attorney David Pasternak appeared in the case as receiver with no authority at all, as part of a pattern of operating receiverships at the court with no legal foundation, and thereby looting persons coming to the Court, where they expect honest court services.

The complaint provided evidence of void, false on their faces, and deliberately misleading court orders appointing Mr Pasternak “Receiver” in the case:

a)       An order appointing Attorney Pasternak was produced from the case, which failed to cite any section of the California code as the legal foundation for his authority;

b)       The order came with a false and deliberately misleading authentication record, and

c)       There was no evidence that the order was entered in the manner in which such orders are required to be entered pursuant to the California code to make them valid and “effectual for any purpose”.

Others named in the complaint were Commissioner James D Endman, Presiding Judge Charles McCoy, Clerk of the Court John A Clarke, Court Counsel Frederick Bennett, Attorney Elyse P Margolin (Levin & Margolin), Attorney Burton M Senkfor (Law Office of Burton Mark Senkfor), Attorney John A Ellis (Trope & Trope), and Attorney Edward Friedman (Turner Aubert & Friedman, LLP).

The complaint further claimed that conduct of receiverships of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, were a well-established racket.  Previous complaints against Mr Pasternak and others noted similar conduct by Attorney David Pasternak inGaldjie v Darwish (SC052737) and Samaan v Zernik (SC087400), both alleged as real estate fraud by the Court through conduct of Attorney David Pasternak. In the latter case, James Wedick, a highly decorated FBI veteran, and a renowned fraud expert, also issued an opinion stating conduct of David Pasternak “fraud being committed”.

Fraud in operations of receiverships at the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles was claimed as part of a larger fraud scheme, where the Court published for several decades false and deliberately misleading Local Rules claiming that Judgment Books of the Court were maintained by the Clerk at the various Districts of the Court, while in fact no such Books were maintained by the Court for several decades.  Presiding Judge Charles McCoy and Clerk of the Court John A Clarke also refused to correct such false Local Rules, or disclose to true Local Rules of the Court regarding Judgment Books.  Court Counsel Frederick Bennett, alleged as a central figure in the racket, claimed with no authority at all that the Judgment Book of the Court today was the Microfilm Judgment Archive of the Court.  Review of a large volume of records in the Microfilm Archive indeed revealed routine entry of divorce decrees.  However, hardly any judgments of the civil courts were found entered in the Archive, and not a single order appointing receiver was ever found in the Archive.

David Pasternak is former President of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, former Member of the California Judicial Council, and former President of Bet Tzedek (“The House of Justice”) – a prominent Los Angeles Jewish charity.  Therefore, the complaint alleged that his conduct reflected widespread corruption of the California courts and the legal profession.
