Zernik v Melson et al – willful misconduct by US Judge Richard Leon, US District Court, DC, to cover up corruption of the Los Angeles courts by Countrywide and Bank of America
Judge Richard Leon and Clerk Nancy Mayer-Whittington conducted simulated litigation, as part of a pattern seen in the US Courts from top to bottom: Refusal to protect the rights of individuals against rampant corruption of state and US judges in collusion with large corporations and financial institutions. Corruption of the US justice system is a central cause of the current financial crisis, which is often overlooked. US Congress should perform its duties.
Richard J Leon, Judge
US District Court, Washington DCLos Angeles, May 26 – in Zernik v Melson et al in the US Court, District of Columbia, pro se Plaintiff filed a Petition for a Writ of Mandamus to Compel US Officer to Perform His Duties, 28 USC �1361. The petition pertained to refusal of FBI and US Department of Justice to protect the rights of 10 million residents of Los Angeles County, California, in view of indisputable evidence of racketeering by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court. [[i]] The case is of particular interest, since it provides direct evidence of the tight links between corruption of the judiciary, corruption of financial institutions (Countrywide and Bank of America in this case), and patronizing of the same by FBI and US Department of Justice.
Corruption of the US justice system is a central cause of the current financial crisis, which is often overlooked. [[ii]]
The evidence of racketeering by judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court is indisputable
The petition pertained to allegations of long-term, widespread corruption of the judiciary in Los Angeles County, California, and refusal of FBI and US Department of Justice to protect the Human Constitutional and Civil Rights of residents of that region of the USA. [[iii]]
The evidence of racketeering by Judges of the Los Angeles Superior Court is indisputable: - Retroactive immunities (�pardons�) were signed for all judges and commissioners of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles County, California, who had taken �not permitted� payments (�bribes�). [[iv]]
- United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) issued an official Staff Report referring to �corruption of the courts and the legal profession and discrimination by law enforcement in California�. [[v]] The report was based on evidence submitted to the HRC of large-scale false imprisonments and financial/real estate fraud by judges of the Court.
- The International Criminal Bar posted a complaint for racketeering against the Los Angeles Superior Court. [[vi]]
- Large-scale fraud was opined in Sustain, the case management system of the Los Angeles Superior Court, which enables the conduct of simulated litigation of cases in violation of the law. The opinion was supported by opinion of international computer science scholar. [[vii]]
- Fraud was opined in the case management system of the Los Angeles Sheriff�s Department, which enables large-scale false imprisonments, with no legal foundation. The opinion was reviewed and published in an international computer science journal with an Editorial Board listing scholars from six European nations and Canada. [[viii]]
Financial institutions are the beneficiaries, and FBI and US Department of Justice are the patrons
The two US officers of the US Department of Justice, who were named first among Respondents were:
- Director of US Attorneys Office Kenneth Melson, and
- Assistant Director of FBI for Criminal Investigations Kenneth Kaiser.
Other named among Respondents included:
- SEC officers and
- Bank of America Corporation executives.
Key part of the evidence pertained to fraud by Bank of America and Countrywide in the courts in Los Angeles County, California, and beyond, even prior to the current financial crisis. [[ix]] Brief Chronology of Zernik v Melson et al
The case was assigned to US Judge RICHARD LEON, who engaged in �Simulated Litigation� in collusion with the Clerk of the Court NANCY MAYER-WHITTINGTON in disregard of First Amendment and Due Process rights: [[x]] - Complaint (Dkt #01) [[xi]] � typically the complaint is a short document. Here the complaint is voluminous, since it included substantial part of the evidence. Based on Petitioner�s prior experience in the US courts, it was likely that further evidence would be excluded from the docket. Filing the evidence with the Complaint ensured its entry into the public record.
- Summonses (Dkt #none) � were not docketed, in apparent violation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, setting the litigation as Simulated Litigation from the start.
- Motion for CM/ECF Password (Dkt #02) [[xii]] � filed together with the complaint. Denial of access to electronic filing by pro se plaintiffs enables the abuse of rights. Access to the electronic authentication records (NEFs) in this case is denied to this date.
- Statement of Disqualification of Judge Leon (Dkt #03) [[xiii]] andMotion to compel FBI and US Department of Justice to provide the then imprisoned Richard Fine pen and paper (Dkt #4) [[xiv]] � the two records were included in the docket only after protests pertaining to dishonest conduct of the court. (see, below). Former US Prosecutor Richard Fine was at that time held in solitary confinement with no valid legal papers for his arrest and imprisonment. He was denied access to pen and paper, in effort to prevent him from filing his habeas corpus petition. Fine had exposed and rebuked the taking by Los Angeles judges of �not permitted� payments (�bribes�), which required the signing of �retroactive immunities� (�pardons�) for all such judges. [[xv]]
- Evidence of corruption of the Courts in cases involving Countrywide and Bank of America (Dkt #none) [[xvi]] � eight (8) records were duly filed on May 21, 2009. Judge Leon held the papers in chambers and refused to permit their docketing.
- Request for review of conduct of the clerk (Dkt #5) [[xvii]] andRequest for statement on the record by Judge Leon and Clerk Whittington (Dkt #6) [[xviii]]� were filed in protest of denial of right to file papers in court.
- Memorandum Opinion and Order by Judge Richard Leon (Dkt #7,8)[[xix],[xx]] � were mailed with no authentication (NEF � notice of electronic filing) and therefore cannot be deemed valid court records (see below).
- �Leave to File Denied� (Dkt #none) � later, Petitioner received by mail the face pages of his eight papers, which were never docketed, with hand inscriptions �Leave to file denied, RJL�. [[xxi]]
- Request for Authentication Records (NEFs) (Dkt # 9) [[xxii]] � Judge Leon never ruled on the request, and access to the authentication records has been denied to this date.
Judge Leon and Clerk Mayer-Whittington engaged in the same conduct in a case pertaining to Judge Olinda Evans, US Court, Northern District of Georgia
In Windsor v Evans et al (1:10-cv-00197) in the US Court, District of Columbia, pro se Plaintiff William Windsor filed complaint under cause of actions of Deprivation of rights under the color of law, 42 USC �1983, pertaining to conduct of US Judge Olinda Evans of the US District Court, Northern District of Georgia. [[xxiii]] The case is of particular interest, since it provides evidence of cover up of judicial corruption, not only by Judge Richard Leon in the US District Court in Washington DC, but also by the US courts of appeals and the US Supreme Court. [[xxiv]]
The evidence shows that Judge Leon and Clerk Mayer-Whittington engaged in the exact same conduct in
Windsor v Evans et al [[xxv]] and in
Zernik v Melson et al � denial of the right to file papers in the court.
Invalid electronic systems of the US courts (PACER and CM/ECF) are germane to such conduct
The PACER docket and other reports in this case provide additional evidence of the conduct of Simulated Litigation: [[xxvi]] - No event is listed in the Calendar of the Court,
- No Judgment is listed in the Judgment Index of the Court,
- The Petition is not listed as �terminated� in the Related Transaction Report, although the case is listed as closed.
Reports regarding fraud in the design and operation of PACER and CM/ECF have been previously published in the National Law Journal [[xxvii]] and in an international, peer-reviewed computer science journal with Editorial Board naming scholars from six European nations and Canada. [[xxviii]] Request was also submitted to Harvard Law Professor Yochai Benkler, an expert on computers and the law, to review the evidence. [[xxix]]
US judges are not ready, willing, able to address corruption of the state and US judges.
The case of Zernik v Melson et al, and other similar cases in the US district courts, US courts of appeals, and Supreme Court of the United States document that the US courts have effectively established a policy, prohibiting the filing of papers, which document judicial corruption. [[xxx]] US judges are not ready, willing, able to address corruption of the state and US judges.
US Congress should perform its duties.
