Lomas v Bank of America in the Los Angeles Superior Court documents:
- Collusion between judges, clerks, attorneys, and financial institutions in abuse of rights of the People continues, while the US Department of Justice refuses to provide protection.
- The pending settlement by states Attorneys General of fraud by large financial institutions is nothing less than capitulation.
- The fraud in design and operation of Sustain - the case management system of the court facilitates judicial corruption.
- Installation of Sandor Samuels (Associate General Counsel of Bank of America and former Chief Legal Officer of Countrywide), again, as President of the Bet Tzedek - "The House of Justice" - amounts to adoption of criminality as a virtue by the Los Angeles Jewish Federation.
In Lomas v Bank of America (KC059379) Plaintiff Susan Lomas tries to protect her rights against alleged fraud by Bank of America and others in foreclosure procedures. Review of the "Case Summary", published online by the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, would lead a naive reader to conclude that a true litigation is underway, pursuant to the California law. [[i]]
However, when asked to produce the Register of Actions (California civil docket), Ms Lomas reported that the office of the Clerk of the Court repeatedly denied her requests to access the records, in apparent violation of First Amendment and Due Process rights.
When asked if she had been noticed and served any minutes of the proceedings, Ms Lomas reported that none was served and noticed, in apparent violation of Due Process rights.
When asked to produce copies of the minutes from the Office of the Clerk of the Court, Ms Lomas produced copies of minutes, which:
- Were missing the Certificate of Mailing/Notice of Entry by the Clerk, and therefore were invalid court records, but were incorporated into a fraudulent court file nevertheless, and
- Repeatedly included comments by Judge Peter J Meeka, "considered ... off of the record". [[ii]]
The case demonstrates that:
- Judges and clerks of the Los Angeles Superior Court continue to collude and financial institutions (here - BofA and others) and law firms, large and small (here - Attorney Mark V Asdourian) in fraud and alleged racketeering in the Court. The Court conducts of litigations, which were never deemed valid court actions by the Court itself, but are represented as such to the public at large.
- The US Department of Justice continues to refuse to address alleged widespread corruption and racketeering by large financial institutions and judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court. Already in the early 2000s FBI reports concluded that Los Angeles County was the "epicenter of the epidemic of real estate and mortgage fraud..." And already in 2007 complaints were filed with US Attorneys Office and FBI against Countrywide and the Los Angeles Superior Court as the key perpetrators of such fraud. Later Congressional Inquiries were filed by Senator Dianne Feinstein and Congresswoman Diane Watson. Regardless, FBI and US Attorney General refuse to provide Equal Protection to the 10 million residents of Los Angeles County against alleged racketeering by judges of the Superior Court of California. [[iii],[iv],[v]]
- The pending settlement by states Attorneys General of fraud by large financial institutions is nothing less than capitulation - abandoning the Human Rights of the People. [[vi]]
- Sustain and E-court (both products of Sustain Technologies) - the case management and online public access systems of the Los Angeles Superior Court, are essential tools in facilitating judicial corruption. [[vii]] The systems originated in the Los Angeles Superior Court, but are by now implemented in some dozen states. The unifying theme of Sustain products, and similar systems in the federal courts (PACER and CM/ECF), [[viii]] is the denial of access to valid court records, and the publication of fraudulent court records online instead.
- The installation, again, of Sandor Samuels, Associate General Counsel of BofA and former Chief Legal Officer of Countrywide as President of Bet Tzedek - "The House of Justice" - amounts to adoption of criminality as a virtue by the Los Angeles Jewish Federation. [[ix],[x],[xi],[xii]] In addition to Samuels, former President David Pasternak [[xiii], [xiv], [xv]] and former Executive Director Terry Friedman have been previously documented as engaging in the same practices in the courts, in concert.
The 2010 Staff Report of the Human Rights Council of the United Nations referenced "corruption of the courts and the legal profession, and discrimination of law enforcement in California". [[xvi]]
Paul Krugman summed it up in the New York Times: "a system in which ... bankers especially, can cheat and defraud without consequences."
The current financial crisis is a widespread integrity crisis of the justice system and the US government. Unless integrity of the courts and the legal profession are addressed, socio-economic development and civil society conditions are unlikely to improve anytime soon.
