11-05-30 Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge of the 9th Circuit, is asked for Jewish ethics perspective on judicial corruption // Jefe juez Alex Kozinski // 首席法官亚历Kozinski

Under Kozinski's tenure the justice system was estimated by experts to be the worst in a century, with widespread corruption of the state and US judges.  Simulated Litigation has become a routine, even by Kozinski himself

  
Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge
US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit

Los Angeles, May 30 - in a letter to Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge of the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, Joseph Zernik, PhD, of Human Rights Alert (NGO), has asked for Kozinski's Jewish ethics perspective on judicial corruption.

The letter notes that Kozinski's essays show his keen interest in ethics in general, and Jewish ethics in particular. [[i]]

What are the ethics duties of the Chief Judge in view of rampant corruption of the justice system under the 9th Circuit?

The Jewish ethics questions raised by Zernik were:

1. Should Simulated Litigation [[ii]] be considered Gneivat Ha-Da'at? (a Jewish ethics term for Fraud and Deceit) [[iii]]
2. Is a US judge bound, pursuant to his/her Oaths of Office, by an ethics duty that is not delegatable to "initiate appropriate action when the judge becomes aware of reliable evidence indicating the likelihood of unprofessional conduct by a judge or lawyer"?
3. Is a US judge bound, pursuant to the Code of Conduct of US Judges, Canon 3 B. (3) by an ethics duty that is not delegatable to "initiate appropriate action when the judge becomes aware of reliable evidence indicating the likelihood of unprofessional conduct by a judge or lawyer?
4. Should Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge of the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, be bound by an ethics duty that is not delegatable, to "initiate appropriate action", in view of the recent official Staff Report of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations, which referred to "corruption of the courts and the legal profession" in California? [[iv]]

Attached to the letter was Zernik's recent press release: Corruption of the Courts -  the Roaring Silence of the Jewish Community, detailing racketeering in the courts by current and former leaders of Bet Tzedek - the Los Angeles "House of Justice" - and refusal of the Anti Defamation League and others in the Jewish community to respond on the matter. [[v]]

Condition of the justice system under Kozinski's tenure was estimated by experts to be the worst in a century..."In reviewing Kozinski's performance as Chief Judge of the 9th, one should consider conditions of the justice system under his tenure," says Zernik, "It was estimated by experts to be the worst in a century. He must be held personally accountable, both in his administrative capacity and in his personal conduct as judge."

The evidence shows that the US District Court, Central District of California, and the US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, are actively patronizing racketeering by California judges in Los Angeles County and beyond:

• The large-scale false imprisonment of the Rampart-FIPs (Falsely Imprisoned Persons) - thousands of victims of court corruption in LA County, almost exclusively black and Latinos - continues to this date.  It is a Human Rights disaster of historic proportions. [[vi]]
• Large-scale financial institution and real estate fraud by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court continues for almost two decades, through racketeering of judges and attorney in the courts. [[vii]]

The official Blue Ribbon Review Panel Report (2006) estimated that corruption of the justice system today is worse than during the notorious "Water Wars" a century ago.  The Panel recommended "external investigation" of the California Courts.  Such investigation has not been instituted to this date. [[viii]]

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, and Kozinski himself are routine practitioners of Simulated Litigation.

 Richard Fine
Former US Prosecutor

Figure 1: False and deliberately misleading Simulated Arrest and Booking Records, repeatedly provided by the Los Angeles Sheriff, purporting that Richard Fine was arrested and booked on March 4, 2009, on location and by authority of the non-existent "Municipal Court of San Pedro". [[ix]]

...

Figure 2: False and Deliberately misleading, unsigned, June 30, 2009 Simulated Order (Dkt #4) in Fine v Sheriff (09-71692), US Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit, issued in the name of Alex Kozinski, denying the Emergency Petition of Richard Fine from the Simulated Litigation of Fine's habeas corpus in the US District Court, Central District of California. [[x]]

Of particular concern is the abundance of cases of Simulated Litigation in both the state and US courts under the 9th Circuit.  [[xi],[xii]]

The case of the 70 year old former US prosecutor Richard Fine is a textbook case: [[xiii], [xiv]]

• Richard Fine exposed and rebuked the taking of "not permitted payments" ("Bribes") by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which required the signing of "retroactive immunities" ("Pardons") for all such judges. 
• Richard Fine was arrested and imprisoned through Simulated Litigation in the Los Angeles Superior Court.  What media reported as the March 4, 2009 "Sentencing Hearing" was a Simulated Proceeding.  It failed to appear in court records, and no valid Warrant, Judgment, Conviction, or Sentencing records were ever entered in his case.
• Richard Fine was held by the Sheriff of Los Angeles County in solitary confinement for 18 months under Simulated Arrest and Booking records, stating that Fine was arrested and booked on location and by authority of the non-existent "Municipal Court of San Pedro". (Figure 1)
• Richard Fine's habeas corpus petition was conducted as a Simulated Litigation in the US District Court, Central District of California, where minutes, orders, judgments were never authenticated as valid court records.
• Richard Fine's Petition to the 9th Circuit was denied in an unsigned, Simulated Order, issued in the names of Alex Kozinski, Richard Paez, and Richard Tallman. (Figure 2)

The US Congress should perform its duties..."He is no Louis Brandeis... Kozinski got the smarts, but is awfully lacking in integrity," says Zernik, "Under his tenure the 9th Circuit was established as a Simulated Justice System, where justice is doled out in an arbitrarily and capriciously manner, and judges and attorneys consider corruption their inherent privilege."

The US Congress should perform its duties...
