United States Marshal
Los Angeles, January 2 - Human Rights Alert (NGO) and Joseph Zernik, PhD, filed report with the Harvard "Citizen Media Law Project" of threat by US Marshals against Dr Zernik.
The threat against Dr Zernik followed requests, which were filed with the Clerk of the Court Terry Nafisi and the Chief Judge Audrey Collins, US District Judge, Central District of California, and were also published online, to correct false PACER dockets, pursuant to Code of Conduct of US Judges.
The requests for correction of the PACER dockets pertained to litigations in Zernik v Connor et al (2:08-cv-1550) and Fine v Sheriff (2:09-cv-01914), both of which originated from claims of widespread corruption of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.
In the former case, US Judge Virginia Phillips appeared as presiding judge, and in the latter - US Judge John Walter. In both cases US Magistrate Carla Woehrle appeared as well. The evidence showed that neither the judges, nor the magistrate, appeared with a valid Assignment/Referral Order. Absent valid Assignment/Referral Order, judges or magistrates lack authority to adjudicate in a case.
In both cases, judgments were published as "entered" in the online PACER dockets, but later it was found that the judgments were issued with invalid certificates of authentication/attestation by the Clerk of the Court. Absent valid authentication/attestation by the clerk, a judgment is void. However, the online PACER dockets would mislead a reasonable person to conclude that the judgments were valid and effectual.
In both cases, the Clerk of the Court refuses to certify the PACER dockets.
In both cases, no corrective actions have been taken to this date regarding the false and deliberately misleading online PACER dockets.
"Citizen Media Law Project" previously reported a threat by the US Marshals in the California Central District against a blog publisher, who used crude language in protesting the conduct of litigation by US Judge Howard Matz.
The common theme in both threats was the employment of the US Marshals to suppress claims of judicial corruption, and issuance of the threat by US Deputy Darcy Smith on behalf of the US District Court.

II. US MARSHALS THREAT AGAINST DR JOSEPH ZERNIK
A. Background - invalid litigation of cases in the US District Court, Central District of California, and publication of void judgments in the PACER dockets:
Zernik v Connor et al (2:08-cv-1550) - litigation under cause of action of Deprivation of Rights under the Color of Law - where US Judge Virginia Phillips appeared as presiding judge, and Fine v Sheriff (2:09-cv-01914) - petition for a writ of habeas corpus - where US Judge John Warner appeared as presiding judge, both in the US District Court, Central District of California, are claimed as Fraud on the Court.
In both cases judges appeared with no Assignment Orders, magistrates appeared with no Referral Orders and false and deliberately misleading minutes, orders, and judgments were published as "entered" in the online PACER dockets by unnamed and unauthorized court personnel, with invalid certificates of authentication/attestation by the clerk (NEFs - Notices of Electronic Filing).
The claims and the documentary evidence related to Zernik v Connor et al and Fine v Sheriff are now provided in the Motion to Intervene in Log Cabin Republicans v USA et al (10-56634 and 10-56813) in the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit. [2]
The Motion to Intervene claims that Judge Virginia Phillips engaged in the same conduct also in Log Cabin Republicans v USA et al.
In Log Cabin Republicans v USA et al two opposing judgments were published in the online PACER docket:
The first judgment was issued in 2006 by Judge George Schiavello, who appeared with no Assignment Order. His judgment was listed as "entered" and also listed in the Judgment Index of the court. The judgment was never reversed.
The second judgment was issued In 2010 by Judge Virginia Phillips, who also appeared with no Assignment Order, and her judgment was NOT listed in the Judgment Index of the US District Court.
In Log Cabin Republicans v USA et al the Clerk of the US District Court Court continues to deny access to the NEFs, in apparent violation of First Amendment rights - to access court records to inspect and to copy.
In all three cases of the US District Court, Central District of California, the Clerk of the Court refuses to certify the PACER dockets and the judgments.
Regardless, the uncertified October 2010 Judge Virginia Phillips judgment and is now the foundation for the two appeals in the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit.
B. Threats and retaliation following the filing of requests for corrective actions
1) In Zernik v Connor et al (2:08-cv-1550) and Fine v Sheriff (2:09-cv-01914), access to the NEFs was denied for months.
2) In late December 2009, following repeated appearances in the office of the clerk with written requests to access the records, the certificates of authentication/ attestation by the clerk (NEFs - Notices of Electronic Filing) in the two cases were finally discovered. Upon examination, the NEFs in both cases were found uniformly invalid. [3]
3) In January 2010, notices and requests for investigation and correction of the PACER dockets were filed with Clerk of the Court Terry Nafisi.
4) In late February 2010 a letter was received by Dr Zernik from Lydia Yurtchuk, US Court Staff Attorney, of a purported investigation. [4]
5) In response to Staff Attorney Yurtchuk, clarification to the letter itself was requested, since it was addressed to an unknown person, unrelated to the matters, instead of being addressed to Dr Joseph Zernik, and with no mention of Counsel Yurchuk's authority in issuing the letter.
6) No clarification has been received from Staff Attorney Yurtchuk to this date.
7) In late March 2010 Dr Zernik therefore filed request with Chamber staff, to the attention of Chief Judge Audrey Collins, to reliably inform her of "unprofessional conduct" in the litigation of the two cases, and to request the initiation of investigation and corrective actions, pursuant to the Code of Conduct of US Judges.[5]
8) In early April 2010 a phone call was received from US Deputy Marshal Darcy Smith asking Dr Joseph Zernik to meet her, referring specifically to the notice filed with Chief Judge Audrey Collins as the subject matter of the meeting.
9) Dr Zernik requested a written request by Deputy Marshal Darcy Smith.
10) On April 7, 2010 a request was then received by email from Deputy Marshal Darcy Smith - for an "interview". The request was signed by Deputy Darcy Smith on behalf of the "District Threat Unit". [6]
11) Dr Zernik responded by email, explaining that he believed that the US Marshals had no legal authority to conduct "interviews". Dr Zernik asked for explicit explanation of the legal foundation for the invitation. [6]
11) No response was received.
12) On or about April 24, 2010, Dr Zernik was informed by his neighbor that the previous night unidentified armed federal agents appeared at Dr Zernik's residence and tried to apprehend Dr Zernik. According to the neighbor, the agents also knocked on his door and asked the neighbor about Dr Zernik's whereabouts. The neighbor also explained to Dr Zernik his concern that shooting was going to take place if the agents appeared again.
13) Dr Zernik immediately abandoned his residence and never returned ever since.
14) No known corrective actions have been taken to this date regarding the false and deliberately misleading PACER dockets in Zernik v Connor et al or in Fine v Sheriff.

GOODNESS, I ALWAYS HAVE TO TRANSLATE IT FOR ALL THOSE WHO DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH:
Dr Joseph Zernik caught the judges and the clerk of the US District Court in California in alleged Fraud on the Court, Adulteration of Court Records, and Perversion of Justice.
All these nice things did not happen in your run-of-the-mill jay-walking prosecution, but in a case where Dr Zernik claimed that judges of the Superior Court of California and top executives of Bank of America were racketeering in the courts in California.
Most politely Dr Zernik just asked the Clerk, and then the Chief Judge of the US District Court to please correct the fraudulent docket, in compliance with the law.
In response Dr Zernik got an invitation for an "Interview" with the US Marshals.
Dr Zernik is no attorney, but he was under the impression that for each false statement you make in such "interview" you can land 5 years in Federal Prison.
Therefore, Dr Zernik turned down the invitation for an "interview", and with it his chance for 15-minutes of fame.
Instead, Dr Zernik asked the US Marshals to clarify the legal basis for their on-the-job journalistic activities.
No response was received from the US Marshals.
A few days later, Dr Zernik was told by a neighbor that armed agents converged on his home, and that it looked like they were on a hunting expedition, and shooting was going to happen.

All comments are welcome... especially any tips regarding corruption of the courts in Los Angeles. Anonymous tips are fine. One simple way to do it is from internet cafes, etc.
