• On June 14, 2013, I filed a C.C.P. section 170.1 Verified
    Challenge to Judge David Reed stemming from his association with Judge David and Lea Rosenberg, his associations with Davis Odd Fellow and Davis Rebekah Lodge, the fact that I had filed an IRS complaintagainst those entities, and because of the media exposure on Davis Patch. This Challenge was denied by Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Valle Israels, incorporated herein by reference.

    Subsequent to the filing of the Challenge, and while awaiting a
    ruling by Judge Israels on the matter, I became concerned about what I believed were further acts of fraud and deceit perpetrated by Odd Fellows Home of California in connection with Judge Dave Reed, Judge Dave Rosenberg, Lea Rosenberg, and Vic Bucher.

    Specifically, my concerns related to what I perceived as an attempt to improperly distance Judge David Reed, on one hand, from Judge David Rosenberg, Lea Rosenberg, and Vic Bucher, on the other hand. As such, on July 17, 2013, I sent Odd Fellows Home of California a cease and desist demand. (See Exhibit 1.)

    In reply to the “cease and desist”, I received 3 replies. Two
    replies originated from Mr. Gerald Poarch (see Exhibits 2 and 3),
    informing me that the “update” will “occur after the Board elects its
    new Officers, which will occur at the July 27, 2013 meeting.” Mr.
    Poarch also informed me that the personal treasurer of Judge David
    Rosenberg’s judicial campaign (Mr. Vic Bucher) is presiding until the
    election of new officers. The third reply came from Mr. Don Smith
    (see Exhibit 4), alsoinforming me that the website will be updated to reflect the election of Judge David Reed as director of Odd Fellow Home of California only after the July 27, 2013 board meeting.

    The information contained in Paragraph 4 of this document is in
    marked contradiction to information received both by me and the Court from Judge David Reed who previously asserted, repeatedly, that he was elected to the board of Odd Fellow Home of California (a multi-million dollar retirement facility) during a meeting held during the month of May.

    In addition, although I became aware of the information
    previously but did not think much of it, subsequent to my discovery
    dealing with the above described events , I am now concerned about potential further misrepresentations, concealment, deceit, and fraud on the Court perpetrated by Judge David Reed in connection with his failure to previously disclose his very recent role as “Grand Conductor” of the California Grand Lodge – the entity supervising David Odd Fellow and Davis Odd Fellow Hall.

    Simply put, Judge David Reed never disclosed to me (or to Judge
    Valle Israels) the fact that he served as “Grand Conductor” of the
    Grand Lodge despite multiple opportunities to do so, and despite
    knowing full well that this may be an important fact for the Court’s
    consideration in determining whether to grant the C.C.P. § 170.1
    Verified Challenge. Instead, similar to the events which necessitated the “cease and desist” request, the various parties (Judge David Reed, Judge David Rosenberg, Vic Bucher, and the various Odd Fellow outfits) stooped to misleading the public by quickly removing the name of Judge David Reed as “Grand Conductor” and replacing it with the name of Glenn Lindsey (see http://caioof.org/grand-lodge-officers ) in what
    could be considered an attempt to distance Judge Reed from the
    decision of Davis Odd Fellow to not comply with the IRS rules and
    regulations.

    In connection with the allegations mentioned in Paragraph 7 of
    this Second Verified Challenge, the undersigned asks that an
    evidentiary hearing be scheduled to further explore the facts
    surrounding this alleged act of fraud (i.e. exact dates Judge David
    Reed served as “Grand Conductor,” and the reason the name of Judge Reed was quickly replaced with the name of Glenn Lindsey on the website.
