The records indicate that the arrest, on March 4, 2009, and the jailing, ever since, were conducted with no legal foundation, and that Att Richard I Fine is in fact being held "off the record" and "off the count" of persons held at the Twin Tower Jail. For the whole period of his jailing, Att Richard Fine was never held in the jail facility itself, where a formal count is conducted 3 times a day... Instead, he has been kept in isolation, in what is reported to be part of the jail hospital.
Twin Tower Jail - facade
The jailing is widely seen as retribution against Att Richard Fine, who was vocal and central in the efforts to expose and advertise the fact that ALL ~450 judges of LA County Superior Court secretly took for over a decade payments of about $45,000 per judge, per year, that were ruled by court "not permitted" and which were called by media "bribes".
FBI and U.S. Dept of Justice continue in their refusal to investigate evidence of widespread corruption in LA County, directly tied to the financial crisis and the LA County based - Countrywide Financial Corporation. Large body of credible evidence is available in re: conduct amounting to what would be deemed by court Racketeering by SANDOR SAMUELS - former Chief Legal Counsel, Countrywide, today - Associate General Counsel - Bank of America Corporation. Such alleged racketeering was and is directly related to the LA Superior Court and its judges.

Subject: Fine v Sheriff Dept of Los Angeles County (2:09-cv-01914) - Request for confirmation of the validity and effect of papers filed on behalf of Judge David Yaffe and the LA Superior Court in Response/Answer to the petition.
The Honorable David Yaffe
Superior Court of California
For the County of Los Angeles

Time is of the essence! Timely response requested no later than October 13, 2009, 5:00pm
Dear Judge Yaffe:
,
My name is Joseph Zernik, and I am of the people of the United States, and of the people of Los Angeles County, California. In past months I have made numerous requests to Clerk of the Court, John A Clarke, to inspect and to copy court records, which are public records by law, pursuant to Nixon v Warner Communications, Inc, (1978). Clerk John A Clarke refused to allow access to such records, without exception, and with no reason at all. Of particular relevance to this letter was the refusal to allow access to records pertaining to Marina v LA County (BS109420) and the jailing of Att Richard I Fine, since March 4, 2009, in the Twin Tower Jail.
.
Review of the records, overall, strongly suggests that the arrest and the jailing were conducted with no legal foundation, and that Att Richard I Fine is in fact being held "off the record" and "off the count" of persons jailed in the Twin Tower Jail.
.
Twin-Tower Jail - cell rowes
I was repeatedly denied access to the Registers of Actions in Sustain, to the Index of All Cases in Sustain, and to the Book of Judgments in Sustain (if any exists). Moreover, none of these records was filed by attorneys for the LA Superior Court and for Judge David Yaffe in their Response/Answer to Richard Fine's Habeas Corpus Petition at the U.S District Court, Los Angeles, Fine v Sheriff Dept of Los Angeles County (2:09-cv-01914) ("the Petition"). Furthermore, key records that were filed - originated not from the court file, but from elsewhere, were not certified by the clerk, and were not authenticated in any reasonable manner.

Therefore, under such unusual circumstances, I consider it only appropriate, for the furtherance of justice, that you would respond in person, directly, and clarify the matter. Surely you never intended to have a person jailed in violation of the law.

6) With the Declaration (Dckt #16) Att McCormick filed records that pertained to litigation of Marina v LA County (BS109420), however, there is no evidence that such papers were ever part of court file, they were not certified by the clerk, and no Register of Actions was filed, which would have documented that such records were indeed part of the court file:
.
a) Exhibit A: March 4, 2009 Judgment and Order or Contempt in re: Richard I Fine (Dkt #16-2), copy of which can be viewed in the link below Please confirm that the record in (Dkt #16-2) - March 4, 2009 Judgment and Order of Contempt in re: Richard I Fine, was indeed a judgment that was served, noticed, and entered, in the manner that a judgment must be entered pursuant to the California law in order to make the judgment effectual.

.
8) Please confirm that the holding of Att Richard I Fine by the Los Angeles Sheriff Department conforms with the fundamentals of the law.
