RE: ETHICS COMPLAINT AGAINST CALIFORNIA STATE BAR MEMBER SHERYL ANN CAMBRON (#202741) FOR MULTIPLE ACTS OF FRAUD AND DECEIPT

Dear Ms. Kim:

This communication is intended to serve as a formal complaint against California State Bar member #202741, Sheryl Ann Cambron (AKA Sheryl A. Cambron or Sheryl Cambron), for gross acts of misconduct involving tax fraud, fraud, misrepresentation, deceit, and for deceiving the public in areas dealing with her place of employment and her relationship to her husband — Yolo County Superior Court Judge David Reed — so as to allow litigants the opportunity to seek disqualification of her husband (through either peremptory or for cause challenges).

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL BACKGROUND:

Ms. Cambron is a 1999 graduate of Lincoln Law School in Sacramento. She is currently employed as an attorney by the County of Yolo, and is highly involved with entities known as Davis Odd Fellows/Davis Rebekah Lodge, which are located in Yolo County in the city of Davis.

Ms. Cambron is married to her former law partner David Reed ("Reed"), who presently served as a judge with the Yolo County Superior Court.

Reed and Cambron, together with Yolo County Superior Court Judge David Rosenberg (and his wife Lea Rosenberg), have been extensively involved with Davis Odd Fellows for many years, while in the process committing income tax fraud in order to mislead the IRS and the public, conspiring to refuse a request to share with me their IRS returns as mandated by IRS rules and regulations, as well as accepting donations from suspect entities such as Yocha Dehe Wintun Nations — the native American tribe which owns and operates Cache Creek Casino. (See ▻http://davislodge.org/breakfast-with-santa-delivers-lots-of-fun ) Most, if not all, of the financial proceeds of David Odd Fellows goes to support “Emancipated Foster Youth,” in part, through a separate non-profit entity headed by David Rosenberg and his Judicial Campaign CPA, Victor Bucher (aka Vic Bucher).

MISCONDUCT BY CAMBRON:

I. Fraud and deceit in connection with Cambron’s marital and employment status.

Any member of the public who researches the background of Judge David Reed will be hard pressed to ascertain that he is married to Cheryl Cambron. For example, in the tens of articles published by Davis Odd Fellows/Davis Rebekah Lodge (or about the activities of Davis Odd Fellows by outside publications such as the Davis Enterprise), the fact that Reed and Cambron are actually married to each other is not mentioned.

Moreover, even in official returns submitted to the IRS during the time David Reed and Sheryl Cambron served concurrently as president and Treasurer of Davis Odd Fellows, a representation was made that they are not married to each other. (See attached Exhibit 1 — 2010 IRS Form 990: ‘Did any officer, director, trustee, or key employee have a family relationship or a business relationship with any other officer, director, trustee, or key employee?’ The form submitted by Davis Odd Fellows states, ‘NO.’) Since two of the officers (Reed and Cambron) were actually married to each other, this is a misrepresentation to the IRS.

The misconduct by Reed/Cambron did not end by just misleading the IRS and the public through the filing of inaccurate tax returns and the hiding from the public that they are married to each other. It appears that Cambron and Reed may have also conspired with each other to mislead the public as to the fact that Ms. Cambron is employed as an attorney by the County of Yolo.

Indeed, it took the undersigned months of research into the background of Judge David Rosenberg to ascertain the extensive involvement of Judge Rosenberg (and his wife Lea Rosenberg) with various non-profit entities, which then led to Judge David Reed, which then led to Cambron, which ultimately led to the facts that Cambron is the wife of Reed, and is otherwise employed as an attorney by Yolo County.

Despite the fact that Ms. Cambron is employed by the Yolo County, legal web-sites misrepresent her employment status. Most, if not all, of those web-sites state that Sheryl Cambron is in fact in private practice representing litigants in matter dealing with bankruptcies, family law, and criminal law.

For example:

▻http://www.justia.com/lawyers/criminal-law/california/woodland

The above examples, attached as exhibits, are part of a scheme devised by the Reed and Cambron to mislead the public into believing that Cambron is in private practice, and not an employee of Yolo County, which then affords Judge Reed the opportunity to rule against litigants in matters dealing with, for example, unlawful searches and seizures, ipso facto absolving the county from civil liability while at the same time not disclosing the existence of a conflict of interest based on his wife’s employment with the County.

RE: COMPLAINT AGAINST YOLO COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT JUDGES DAVID ROSENBERG AND DAVID REED

To whom it may concern:

In lieu of using a form complaint, this communication serves as an official judicial misconduct complaint against Yolo County Superior Court judges David Rosenberg and David Reed for violations of Canons of Judicial Ethics due to their (and their respective spouses, Lea Rosenberg and Sheryl Cambron) involvement with an entity known as Davis Odd Fellows, which discriminates on the basis of religion in violation of Canon(2)(C).

GENERAL BACKGROUND:

Yolo County Superior Court judge David Rosenberg (AKA Dave Rosenberg) and his wife Lea Rosenberg are heavily involved in an entity known as “Yolo Lodge 169 Independent Order Odd Fellows and Davis Rebekah Lodge” ( which also advertises itself as Davis Odd Fellow / David Rebekah Lodge/ and other related entities).

The operation owns various pieces of real estate which are leased to various business establishments in the City of Davis, California. As will be shown in future complaints, there is more than meets the eye here, as overall transactions involving Davis Odd Fellows appear to involve suspicious and secretive financial transactions, racketeering, income tax fraud, and related acts of misconduct.

Over the years, both the Rosenbergs (David and Lea) and Judge Reed and his wife (Cheryl Cambron - an attorney employed by Yolo County) have been extensively involved in this organization. At various times, Rosenberg/Reed/Cambron served as president and vice-president interchangeably.

Presently, Dave Rosenberg is also the membership committee chairman (see: ▻http://davislodge.org/how-to-join ).

Anyone who is interested in becoming a member must be sponsored by another member and must be “loyal to his or her country and believes in a Supreme Being, the creator and preserver of the Universe, is eligible for membership.” (See ▻http://davislodge.org/how-to-join )

Additionally, the Odd Fellows Valediction reads as follows: “I AM AN ODD FELLOW: I believe in the Fatherhood of God, and the Brotherhood of Man.” (See: ▻http://davislodge.org/odd-fellows-valediction)

MISCONDUCT:

As mentioned above, both Judge Rosenberg and Judge Reed are judges of the Yolo County Superior Court and both are members and directors of Davis Odd Fellows. As such they must adhere to the canons of judicial ethics.

Canon 2(C) reads: “A judge shall not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious
discrimination on the basis of race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. This canon does not apply to membership in a religious organization or an official military organization of the United States.”

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF) in general, and the Davis Odd Fellows in particular, are not “religious organization” per se (ie, churches). Rather they are considered a fraternity. (See: ▻http://www.ioof.org )

Davis Odd Fellows describes itself as follows:

"The Davis Odd Fellows Lodge was chartered in 1870 and currently has over 200 members, making it one of the largest Odd Fellows Lodges in the nation. The Odd Fellows Lodge is a fraternal order, dedicated to community projects of all kinds. The Davis Odd Fellows put on Taste of Davis, Breakfast with Santa, Breakfast with the Bunny among other community events and projects. The Lodge also hosted the “DogtoberFest” which raised funds to purchase a new K-9 for the Davis Police Department, and set a Guinness World Record for the longest single line of bicycles which raising over $15,000 for the Davis Schools during the “World’s Greatest Bicycle Parade.”

In that David Odd Fellows owns real estate which it rents to the highest bidder, it qualifies as a “business establishment” which must comply with statutory and constructional bodies of California law protecting the civil rights of its citizens.

In view of the foregoing, both Odd Fellows members Judge Rosenberg and Judge Reed should be disciplined for their involvement in the organizations, as it is clear that Davis Odd Fellows is not a “religious organization.” The improper involvement is particularly heightened for Judge Rosenberg, the membership committee chairman, who via his position requires that all new members believe in a “Supreme Being” and the “Fatherhood of God.”

Thank you for you time and attention to this matter.

IRS Asked to Investigate Non-Profit Entity Headed by Yolo County Superior Court Judges David Rosenberg and David Reed

Re: A referral against exempt organization YOLO LODGE 169 INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS AND DAVIS REBEKAH LODGE (EIN Number 23-7417292) and officers David Reed, Sheryl Cambron, David Rosenberg, Lea Rosenberg, and Virgil Smith

To whom it may concern:

In lieu of using the IRS’s Tax Exempt Organization Referral Form 13909, please consider this communication a formal complaint ("referral") against YOLO LODGE 169 INDEPENDENT ORDER OF ODD FELLOWS AND DAVIS REBEKAH LODGE ("Yolo Lodge") for fraud and deceit. Specifically, officers and directors of Yolo Lodge repeatedly misrepresented to the IRS (and the public) the nature of their familial relationship.

FRAUD BY YOLO LODGE PRESIDENT DAVE REED AND HIS TREASURER WIFE SHERYL CAMBRON

In 2010, serving as the president of Yolo Lodge was David Reed; serving as the Treasurer of Yolo Lodge was Sheryl Cambron.

David Reed and Sheryl Cambron are married to each other. However, Reed and Cambron chose to mislead the IRS and the public as to the true nature of their relationship. More specifically, Reed and Cambron failed to disclose, as they were required to do, to the IRS that they were married to each other while serving as officer of Yolo Lodge.

For example, the 2010 IRS Form 990 submitted by Yolo Lodge asked, “Did any officer, director, trustee, or key employee have a family relationship or a business relationship with any other officer, director, trustee, or key employee?” The form submitted by Yolo Lodge states, “NO.” Since two of the officers (Reed and Cambron) were actually married to each other, this is a misrepresentation.

FRAUD BY YOLO LODGE PRESIDENT DAVID ROSENBERG AND HIS SECRETARY WIFE LEA ROSENBERG

In 2011, Yolo Lodge officers perpetrated the same lie with a different set of actors, namely Lea and David Rosenberg, who are married to each other.

Specifically, In 2011, serving as President of “Yolo Lodge” was David Rosenberg; his wife, Lea Rosenberg, served as “Secretary” of Yolo Lodge, and Dave Reed served as a board member.

The 2011 IRS Form 990 submitted by Yolo Lodge asked, “Did any officer, director, trustee, or key employee have a family relationship or a business relationship with any other officer, director, trustee, or key employee?” The form submitted by Yolo Lodge states, “NO.” Since two of the officers (David Rosenberg and Lea Rosenberg) were actually married to each other, this is a misrepresentation.

It is important to note that both David Rosenberg and David Reed are judges of the Yolo County Superior Court, and such misrepresentations are extremely serious. This is especially true when viewed in conjunction with the circumstances described in a prior complaint the undersigned submitted to the IRS dated May 23, 2013 (see exhibit A), which is incorporated herein by reference.

ADDITIONAL MISCONDUCT BY LEA ROSENBERG, DAVID ROSENBERG, AND DAVID REED.

On September 24, 2013, the undersigned sent Lea Rosenberg an email which read as follows:

"Dear Ms. Rosenberg:

The purpose of this communication is to address the following matters:

1. Since you appear to have been involved with Davis Rebekah Lodge, Davis Odd Fellow, and Sophomoric, I had previously asked you to produce the IRS tax-returns for those entities.

For reasons which I do not understand, rather than complying with this simple request (as you are required to do by law given the fact that those entities are allowed to operate on a “tax-exempt” status), you have failed to respond. I am therefore reiterating my request that you comply with the request for these tax returns and produce them to me within the next 5 days.

As you know, I am troubled by events surrounding the almost exclusive fundraising to “emancipated foster youth”, Barbara Sommer, Davis Odd Fellow members Jonathan Raven and Michael Cabral, Cache Creek Casino, Vic Bucher, and Progress Ranch.

I am also troubled by the fact that Judge Rosenberg (and his Judicial Campaign CPA Vic Bucher) lends money to the judicial campaign of other judges (i.e. Tim Fall and Dan Maguire). Hence, I would like to get to the bottom of things, and need the requested tax forms to do so.

2. In the previously submitted request, there was no mention of “Davis Odd Fellow Hall.” My position and understanding is that Davis Odd Fellow Hall is part of Davis Odd Fellow.

Nevertheless, please consider this communication a formal request to also provide copies of the last three tax return forms that “Davis Odd Fellow Hall” had submitted to the IRS.

3. Given that Davis Odd Fellow, David Odd Fellow Hall, and Davis Rebekah Lodge are under the exclusive control of you, your husband David Rosenberg, as well as David Reed and his wife Cheryl Camberon, and given that both David Rosenberg and David Reed are judges of the Yolo County Superior Court, I submit that these entities have a duty to operate at an even higher level of transparency than mandated by the IRS, and must comply with the common law duty of disclosure.

Thus, in addition to inspecting and copying the documents authorized by the IRS, I request copies of detailed financial statements (i.e. income, expenditures, names of donors, names of businesses and amount of rent Davis Odd Fellow Hall charges its various tenants, identity of subcontractors, identity of those who have rented the Hall etc.) For example, my understanding is that David Greenwald (publisher of The People’s Vanguard of Davis and Vanguard Court Watch) entered into a contract with Davis Odd Fellow Hall. Given that Mr. Greenwald’s publications purport to report on misconduct and malfeasance in the local area, including the courts, it appears to me that there is a direct conflict between this stated mission and his decision to rent space from an entity whose Board is comprised of you, and two Yolo County Superior Court judges.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and receiving the requested documents."

Rather than complying with my request to produce the relevant 990 Form, as she was required to do, Ms. Rosenberg sent me an email which reads, in its entirety, “so he is at it again.”

As such, the undersigned requests that the IRS also investigate and impose appropriate sanctions on “Davis Odd Fellows Hall” officers David Rosenberg, David Reed, and Lea Rosenberg as it is clear from Ms. Rosenberg’s latest communication to me, cited above, that she ( David Rosenberg and David Reed) do not plan to comply with the request to produce the requested 990 form. In fact, if anything, Ms. Rosenberg’s email response makes clear that she views my legitimate requests as nothing more than a nuisance, rather than a legitimate request authorized by the IRS Code.

Thank you for your assistance with this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or need further information.

Reply to Unprofessional E-Mail from Lea Rosenberg of Davis Odd Fellow

September 26, 2013

Dear Ms. Rosenberg:

Thank you for the prompt response to my email dated September 26, 2013.

From the unprofessional and uncalled for tone of your email ( consisting only of one line, “so he is at it again”), it is not clear whether this message was actually intended for me or sent to me in error.

Your unprofessional reply casts doubt on whether you plan to comply with the request to produce the IRS Forms 990 for Davis Odd Fellow and related entities, or whether you are just trying to pillory me in the eyes of David Odd Fellow members (such as your husband David Rosenberg, your husband’s judicial campaign CPA Vic Bucher, Judge Dave Reed and his wife Cheryl Camberon, Jonathan Raven, Michael Cabral and others).

As such, I must ask you to clarify your position; and if your email was sent to anyone else, please disclose the identities of all the recipients ASAP.

Thanks again for your time and anticipated prompt cooperation.

Lea Rosenberg Asked to Produce Tax-Returns of Davis Odd Fellow Hall

Dear Ms. Rosenberg:

The purpose of this communication is to address the following matters:

1. Since you appear to have been involved with Davis Rebekah Lodge, Davis Odd Fellow, and Sophomoric, I had previously asked you to produce the IRS tax-returns for those entities.

For reasons which I do not understand, rather than complying with this simple request (as you are required to do by law given the fact that those entities are allowed to operate on a “tax-exempt” status), you have failed to respond.

I am looking forward to hearing from you and receiving the requested documents.

Motion to Strike Yolo County DA Opposition Re Second Verified Challenge to Judge David Reed

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 complaint against those entities, and because of the media exposure on the Davis Patch. This Challenge was denied by Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge the Honorable Valli Israels.

Subsequently, I filed a second C.C.P. section 170.1 Verified Challenge to Judge David Reed stemming from what I believed were acts of fraud and deceit perpetrated by Odd Fellows Home of California in connection with Judge Dave Reed, a “cease and desist” demand sent to Odd Fellow Home of California, 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), as well as a request for an evidentiary hearing.

On Thursday, August 22, 2013, Judge Reed filed a reply to the second C.C.P. section 170.1 Verified Challenge asserting various defenses on the merits including, among others, that he was under no legal duty to disclose the fact that he was an officer (Conductor) of the Grand Lodge. (It is important to note that Judge Reed did not assert that I was not entitled, procedurally speaking, to file a second C.C.P. section 170.1 Verified Challenge (i.e. “seriatim” challenges).)

Subsequent to the filing of my second Challenge, I became aware of even additional evidence of what I believed were further acts of fraud and deceit perpetrated by Judge Dave Reed in connection with his failure to disclose to me and Judge Valli Israels the fact that Judge Reed’s wife (Sheryl Cambron) is an officer of Davis Rebekah Lodge – an entity headed by Lea and David Rosenberg which was the subject of the IRS complaint — as well as the fact that Ms. Cambron is also an officer of the Davis Encampment, an entity headed by Dave Rosenberg. Moreover, I also became aware after filing the second Challenge that between 2010-2012, Judge David Reed headed Davis Odd Fellow, a fact that he failed to disclose to me and Judge Valli Israels.

As such, I filed with the Court a request for leave to file a reply to Judge Reed’s opposition to the second verified challenge and a request for leave to address the newly discovered evidence dealing with Judge Reed’s failure to inform me and the Court of, among others his wife’s involvement with Davis Rebekah Lodge.

This motion is presently pending (presumably before Judge Valli Israels) and awaits adjudication.

Subsequent to my filing of a request to file a reply to Judge Reed’s opposition, on September 9, 2013, I received an “Opposition to the Second Verified Challenge” filed by Michael Cabral of the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office. This “opposition” is patently defective, intentionally misstates the state of the law, is deceptive by omission, and should be stricken.

First, Mr. Cabral failed to inform this Court that he himself is a member of the Davis Odd Fellow, and that the second in command at the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office (Mr. Jonathan Raven) is an officer of Davis Odd Fellow. This creates the appearance that Mr. Cabral and Mr. Raven, rather than acting as the legal agents of “the People,” are instead acting as the legal agents of Lea and David Rosenberg, Judge David Reed, his wife Cheryl Cambron, David Rosenberg’s Judicial Campaign Treasurer Vic Bucher, as well as agents of David Odd Fellow and its sister entity (Davis Rebekah Lodge) which blatantly refuse to comply with IRS rules and regulations by making available for public inspection their IRS 990 Forms, as required by law.

Second, I have not been able to locate any legal authority to support the claim that I am not entitled to file “seriatim” verified challenges, as the Yolo DA alleges.

The fact of the matter is that only after the Honorable Judge Valli Israels issued her decision, did I fortuitously come across the newly discovered evidence mentioned above which is highly relevant to a determination of whether Judge Reed should be disqualified because of their relevancy and, most importantly, because Judge Reed was under an absolute duty to voluntary disclose those facts to Hon. Judge Valli Israels and to me.

Instead, Jude Reed chose to mislead by remaining silent, further demonstrating the need for this Verified Challenge.

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 complaint against those entities, and because of the media exposure on Davis Patch. This Challenge was denied by Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Valli Israels.

Subsequently, I filed a second C.C.P. section 170.1 Verified Challenge to Judge David Reed stemming from what I believed were further acts of fraud and deceit perpetrated by Odd Fellows Home of California in connection with Judge Dave Reed, a “cease and desist” demand sent to Odd Fellow Home of California, 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), as well as a request for an evidentiary hearing.

On Thursday, August 22, 2013, Judge Reed filed a reply to the second C.C.P. section 170.1 Verified Challenge.

The purpose of this Motion is to ask the Court for leave to file a response to Judge Reed’s reply to the second C.C.P. section 170.1 Verified Challenge.

Additionally, subsequent to the filing of the second Challenge, I became aware of additional evidence of what I believed were further acts of fraud and deceit perpetrated by Judge Dave Reed in connection with Judge Reed’s failure to disclose to me and Judge Valli Israels the fact that Judge Reed’s wife (Sheryl Cambron) is an officer of Davis Rebekah Lodge – an entity headed by Lea and David Rosenberg which was the subject of the IRS complaint — as well as the fact that Ms. Cambron is also an officer of the Davis Encampment, an entity headed by Dave Rosenberg.

Moreover, I also became aware after filing the second Challenge that between 2010-2012, Judge David Reed headed Davis Odd Fellow, a fact that he failed to disclose to me and Judge Valli Israels. As was mentioned previously, Davis Odd Fellow was the subject of a complaint by me to the IRS because of its failure to comply with IRS rules and regulations in producing documents relating to years 2010-2013 .

Consequently, the undersigned moves this Court to allow the filing of further pleadings setting forth the newly discovered evidence, as well as for an evidentiary hearing in support thereof.

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.

Odd Fellows Homes of California Asked to Cease Misrepresentation Dealing with Current Status of Leadership

Gerald Poarch – Board Vice Chair (2014)
Ray Link – Board Secretary (2014)
Don R. Smith -Board Member (2013)
Mary Ann Tschernoscha – Board Member (2013)
Rick Boyles - Grand Master
Robin Oliver – Board Member (2013)

To whom it may concern:

I am writing to request that your organization please update its records to accurately reflect the current status of its leadership.

Specifically, the web site for Odd Fellow Home of California ( ▻http://caioof.org/odd-fellows-homes ) reflects that Mr. David Rosenberg is the Chair for 2014.

My understanding is that Mr. Rosenberg has resigned from this position effective May 2013, but your site has not been updated to reflect this resignation.

Additionally, please update the site to reflect the election of Mr. David Reed as a board member of Odd Fellow Home of California. (Although I may be mistaken, I seem to recall seeing Mr. Reed’s name as a board member of OFHC at one point in the past although this appears to have been removed. In any event, I am certain that Judge Reed served as the Grand Conductor of the Grand Lodge prior to May 2013.)

Thank you for your time and prompt attention to this matter.

Copy of IRS complain against exempt organizations 1) Davis Odd Fellows; 2) Soroptimist International of Davis; and 3) Davis Rebekah Lodge

May 22, 2013

Internal Revenue Service
Exempt Organizations Unit
1100 Commerce St.
Dallas, TX 75242-1198

Re: A referral against exempt organizations 1) Davis Odd Fellows; 2) Soroptimist International of Davis; and 3) Davis Rebekah Lodge

In lieu of using the IRS’s Tax Exempt Organization Referral Form, please consider this communication a formal complaint (referral) against Yolo County, California not-for-profit entities known as 1) the Independent Order of Odd Fellows — Davis Odd Fellows Lodge #169 ("Davis Odd Fellows"); 2) Soroptimist International of Davis; and 3) Davis Rebekah Lodge.

On April 4 , 2013, the Davis Odd Fellows, Soroptimist International of Davis, and Davis Rebekah Lodge were duly served with a request for production of the three latest IRS Form 990, Form 990 Schedule A, as well as Form 1023.

Said requests were emailed to Mrs. Lea Rosenberg (wife of David Rosenberg aka Dave Rosenberg), and included a proviso by which the undersigned offered to pay for reasonable costs for any copying and mailing costs incurred in relation to this request.

To date, no responses have been received by me to this request to produce the tax returns, despite the clear mandate by the Internal Revenue Service to fully comply with such requests within 30 days.

As such, reluctantly, the undersigned makes this referral based on grave concerns dealing with suspicious circumstances surrounding Davis Odd Fellows’ board of directors (see ▻http://davislodge.org/odd-fellows-hall-board ), President – Dave Rosenberg ,Vice President – Dave Reed, Treasurer – Barb Geisler, Secretary – Lea Rosenberg, as well as other non-profit entities controlled by Lea and David Rosenberg to wit, Soroptimist International of Davis, Davis Rebekah Lodge, Davis Sunrise Rotary Club , and the newly form non-profit entity Davis Odd Fellows Charities, Inc./Orphan Scholarship Fund.

More specifically, the concern relates to the fact that in recent years almost all the non profits entities controlled by Lea and Dave Rosenberg began to almost exclusively raise funds for “foster youth” and/or “emancipated foster youth” in Yolo County.

For example, Davis Odd Fellows held an event to benefit foster youth known as “Breakfast with Santa”. Soroptimist International of Davis held an event to benefit foster youth known as “Texas Hold ’Em”. Davis Rebekah Lodge held an event to benefit foster youth known as “Crab Feed.”

As mentioned above, In addition to “Breakfast with Santa”, Davis Odd Fellows recently launched an ad hoc non-profit to benefit foster youth known as Davis Odd Fellows Charities, Inc./Orphan Scholarship Fund.

While certainly the cause of supporting orphans and foster youth is worthy of praise, grave concerns exist that under the auspices of helping foster youth, money is instead actually laundered and being used for improper purposes, including , but not limited, to bribing or attempting to gain the favor of the ex-foreperson of Yolo County’s Grand Jury (Barbara Sommer) who, coincidentally, also heads a non-profit entity designated to house “foster youth” and/or “emancipated foster youth” known as Progress Ranch.

Additional facts that raise suspicions are that both Dave Rosenberg and Dave Reed are judges of Yolo County Superior Court; Dave Rosenberg is a close confederate of an attorney (Howard Dickstein) who represents an Indian Casino located in Yolo County (Cache Creek Casino); Cache Creek Casino also recently developed an unexplained desire to benefit “foster youth” through a huge donation to benefit “foster youth”; and that in recent years Yolo County’s Grand Jury (headed by Barbara Sommer of Progress Ranch) was investigating Cache Creek Casino.

As such, I urge you to investigate this matter and impose appropriate sanctions against any and all involved, if supported by the results of your investigation.

I look forward to your response. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.

CSUS / inquire about the current employment status of Barbara O’Connor

Dear Madam/Sir:

This will serve to verify and inquire about the current employment status of Barbara O’Connor with respect to California State University, Sacramento.

Specifically, is she presently a professor with the university? My initial research leads me to believe that she is no longer affiliated with CSUS, even though she is listed elsewhere as a current professor (ie, CETF website. See: ▻http://www.cetfund.org/aboutus/board/OConnor-Barbara ).

For that reason, I would like for you to verify this matter by providing me with the exact dates of her employment.

Thank you for your assistance and anticipated prompt response.

Laura Chick - Former City Controller of Los Angeles - Now Part of Inquiry Into CaliforniaALL

In the midst of the growing controversy over the alleged embezzlement of public funds by California Democratic Party operatives associated with OBAMA FOR AMERICA, a former Los Angeles City Controller associated with the California Democratic Party is now embroiled in a controversy dealing with the alleged embezzlement of public funds through and by means of fraud.

Specifically, Laura Chick of Los Angeles County has recently been identified as a potential player in the financial scheme known as CaliforniaALL following the fortuitous discovery of evidence relating to her involvement with OBAMA FOR AMERICA during the time she served as member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors.

As relevant to this matter, in 2007, various members of the State Bar of California Board of Governors with ties to the Democratic Party/OBAMA FOR AMERICA are accused by the author of knowingly agreeing to establish a non-profit entity (known as CaliforniaALL) which was later misused as a vehicle to absorb funds from utility companies, as well as close to $800,000 from the California Bar Foundation (an entity controlled by the State Bar of California Board of Governors).

As matters presently stand, suspicions exist that Morrison & Foerster attorneys James Brosnahan (the self-proclaimed “mastermind” behind the Democratic Party and member of OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s California Finance Committee), Tony West (OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s Chair of California’s Finance Committee), Chris Young (OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s Northern California Deputy Finance Director; later of Keker & Van Nest), Annette Carnegie (former director of the California Bar Foundation), Kamala Harris (Co-Chair, OBAMA FOR AMERICA and member of CaliforniaALL), Jeffrey Bleich of Munger Tolles (president of the State Bar of California, director of the California Bar Foundation, and founding member and Chair of OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s National Finance Committee), Brad Phillips of Munger Tolles (2007- 2008 Director of the California Bar Foundation which served as a “financial sponsor” to CaliforniaALL on behalf of Verizon Wireless and Southern California Edison, both clients of Munger Tolles & Olson), Mark Parnes of Wilson Sonsini (2007-2008 director and Secretary of the California Bar Foundation), John Roos of Wilson Sonsini (former CEO of Wilson Sonsini and member of OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s National Finance Committee), Steven Churchwell of DLA Piper in Sacramento (Treasurer, draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA; firm where CaliforniaALL resided free of charge), Laura Chick (member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors and OBAMA FOR AMERICA), Jeannine English (member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors), Mark Friedman (elector for Barack Obama; a Sacramento real estate developer once accused of defrauding an Indian tribe out of millions of dollars while conspiring with the tribe’s attorney Howard Dickstein - spouse of Jeannine English) and Freada Klein Kapor (member of the board of directors of CaliforniaALL; OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s phone bank was located at The Kapor Center) all participated in a sophisticated financial scheme to misuse all or part of the “hush-hush” $780,000 originating from the California Bar Foundation to improperly benefit OBAMA FOR AMERICA via a separate foundation created ad hoc by Susan Mac Cormac and Eric Tate of Morrison & Foerster known as CaliforniaALL.

In 2007, Ruthe Catolico Ashley served as member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors alongside Jeffrey Bleich, and came up with the idea to create CaliforniaALL during a meeting with Sarah Redfield and Peter Arth, (the assistant to CPUC President Michael Peevey).

CaliforniaALL was conveniently housed free of charge at the offices of DLA Piper in Sacramento, alongside the draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA, where Steve Churchwell of DLA Piper in Sacramento served as Treasurer of the draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA.

Subsequent to the election of Barack Obama, CaliforniaALL was dissolved.

Other then collecting close to $2 million directly from utility companies (including the “hush-hush” transfer of $774,247, comprised of one installment of $5000 and another contribution of $769,247 from the Foundation which was never mentioned in the Foundation’s “newsroom” or by any other of its publications such as the California Bar Journal or by any of the newsletters and alerts published by CaliforniaALL), CaliforniaALL appears to have been be a sham, phantom entity from its inception in 2008 to the day it began to slowly be dissolved in approximately 2009, subsequent to the election of Barack Obama as president of the U.S.

Its only alleged achievement was providing some money for the creation of the Saturday Academy of Law at UC Irvine ("SALUCI") in approximately 2008-2009. Here too vast and intense suspicious circumstances exist as the funds from CaliforniaALL actually went to the UC Irvine Foundation, where the present executive director of the State Bar of California (Senator Joe Dunn) serves as a member of the audit committee, and it turns out that the SALUCI was actually already created in 2005 and was fully operational before CaliforniaALL arrived on the scene. In addition, some records seem to indicate that Verizon Wireless funneled the money directly to SALUCI , while CaliforniaALL took the credit."

Laura Chick’s Wikipedia profile states that she also served as California’s Inspector General overseeing the state’s spending of $85 billion of Federal Recovery Act funding. Chick was appointed to the newly created position by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in April 2009 and the office was terminated by Governor Jerry Brown in December 2010.

Sacramento Developer with Ties to UC Davis MIND Institute Embroiled in New Controversy

In the midst of the growing controversy over the alleged embezzlement of public funds by California Democratic Party operatives associated with OBAMA FOR AMERICA, a Sacramento real estate developer once accused of defrauding an Indian tribe out of millions of dollars while conspiring with the tribe’s attorney (Howard Dickstein), is now embroiled in a separate controversy dealing with the alleged embezzlement of public funds through and by means of fraud while conspiring with the wife of Howard Dickstein — Sacramento-based lobbyist Jeannine English.

Specifically, Mark Friedman of Sacramento-based Fulcrum Property Group — an Electoral for Barack Obama — has recently been identified as a potential player in the financial scheme known as CaliforniaALL following the fortuitous discovery of evidence relating to his accountant, Alison Turner of Alison Turner & Associates.

As relevant to this matter, in 2007, various members of the State Bar of California Board of Governors with ties to the Democratic Party/OBAMA FOR AMERICA are accused of knowingly agreeing to establish a non-profit entity (known as CaliforniaALL) which was later misused as a vehicle to absorb funds from utility companies, as well as close to $800,000 from the California Bar Foundation (an entity controlled by the State Bar of California Board of Governors).

Indicted Aaron Swartz Hires Keker & Van Nest

Aaron Swartz, who faces up to 35 years in prison, recently hired San Francisco-based Keker & Van Nest to represent him, according to court documents filed with the United States District Court of Massachusetts.

Attorney Matthias Kammber of Keker & Van Nest informed the court that Swartz’s local attorney, Martin Weinberg, “will be withdrawing as counsel” and will be replaced by Cody Harris, Daniel Purcell, and top gun Elliot Peters, all of Keker & Van Nest.

Swartz, 25, is a fellow at Harvard University’s Safra Centre for Ethics and is charged with wire fraud, computer fraud, unlawfully obtaining information from a protected computer, and recklessly damaging a protected computer. If convicted on these charges, Swartz faces up to 35 years in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, restitution, forfeiture and a fine of up to $1 million, according to a press release issued by United States Attorney Carmen Ortiz.

In various declarations submitted to the court, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen Heymann and Scott Garland alleged that Swartz — who is not a student, faculty member, or employee of MIT — gained physical access to MIT’s computer network through a laptop computer he installed in a restricted wiring closet in the basement of a research building, and that he intentionally masked his face with a bicycle helmet to avoid identification on a video camera as he entered the closet to remove the laptop; they also alleged that Swartz used fictitious names and manipulated computer identification information to get and maintain access to MIT’s computer network, and that he took repeated and affirmative steps to evade efforts by both MIT and JSTOR to lock him out of their computer networks.

In somewhat related news, Swartz and Larry Lessig, also of Harvard University’s Safra Centre for Ethics, are presently also being scrutinized as part of an ongoing non-criminal inquiry conducted by the author stemming from myriad suspicious financial transactions in connection with circumstances surrounding Chris Young (presently an attorney with Keker & Van Nest), defunct non-profit entity CaliforniaALL, Mitchell and Freada Kapor (a director of CaliforniaALL) of The Kapor Center, Bettina Neuefeind (wife of Larry Lessig), and two non-profit entities bearing the same name of “Democracy Fund,Inc.” — EIN 27-2439840 and EIN 26-3088283 — with connections to Lessig and Swartz.

Although other potential explanations certainly exist, as matters presently stand, it appears that in 2007-2008, Democratic party agents may have participated in what appears to be unexplained financial machinations relating to the California Bar Foundation and newly created non-profit entity CaliforniaALL with respect to funds originating from major utility companies and the California Bar Foundation, in order to promote the election of Barack Obama in general, and on behalf of those seeking to promote green energy in particular.

Specifically:

MORRISON & FOERSTER attorneys James Brosnahan (self-proclaimed “mastermind” behind the Democratic Party), Tony West (Barack Obama’s Chair of the California Finance Committee), Chris Young ("Obama for America" Northern California Deputy Finance Director), Annette Carnegie (2007-2008 director with the California Bar Foundation); Kamala Harris (co-chair, Obama for America and member of CaliforniaALL);

MUNGER TOLLES & OLSON attorneys Jeffrey Bleich (president of the State Bar of California, director of the California Bar Foundation, founding member and Chair of OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s National Finance Committee who pushed for the creation of CaliforniaALL, as well as for the appointment of director Freada Klein Kapor), Brad Phillips (2007- 2008 Director of the California Bar Foundation which served as a “financial sponsor” to CaliforniaALL on behalf of Verizon Wireless and Southern California Edison, both clients of Munger Tolles & Olson) (examination of the IRS 990 Verizon Wireless submitted to the IRS shows absolutely no payments to either CaliforniaALL or the California Bar Foundation);

WILSON SONSINI attorneys Mark Parnes (2007-2008 director and Secretary of the California Bar Foundation), John Roos (former CEO of Wilson Sonsini in Palo Alto; a personal friend of both President Obama and Jeffrey Bleich, currently serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan; similar to Ambassador Bleich, Ambassador Roos acted as a “bundler” and raised over $500,000 for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign);

DLA PIPER attorney Steven Churchwell in Sacramento (Treasurer, draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA); firm where CaliforniaALL resided free of charge;

KAMALA HARRIS (co-chair, OBAMA FOR AMERICA ; member of CaliforniaALL); Harris is the sister of Maya Harris, who is married to Tony West, the chair of Barack Obama’s California Finance Committee who now serves as third in command within the United States Department of Justice below Eric Holder and Lanny Breuer;

CaliforniaALL Director OPHELIA BASGAL of the Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD"): In around 2007-2008, Ms. Basgal was Vice President of Civic Partnership and Community Initiatives at PG&E, where she managed the company’s $18 million charitable contribution program, and oversaw its community engagement programs and partnerships with community-based organizations. Separately, around that time she also served as treasurer of the “California Supreme Court Historical Society.” In that role, she presumably had contact with many judges, including those who were handling matters dealing with PG&E, such as Justice (Ret.) Joseph Grodin who acted as the mediator in a case Attorney General Bill Lockyer advanced against PG&E, which Jerry Brown (cousin of Geoffrey Brown) later dismissed in his capacity as the new Attorney General for California;

LARRY LESSIG, FREADA KLEIN KAPOR, MITCHELL KAPOR, BETTINA NEUEFEIND, AARON SWARTZ: Around 2007-2008, Jeffrey Bleich caused the appointment of Freada Klein Kapor as Director of then newly-established CaliforniaALL. In a press release, the public was misled to believe that Freada Kapor is a diversity expert who operates an entity known as the Level Playing Field Institute. There was no mention that Freada Kapor is the owner of The Kapor Center, located at 543 Howard St., 5th. Floor, in San Francisco, which was used as telephone bank by volunteers of OBAMA FOR AMERICA, and received frequent visits from Bettina Neuefeind — wife of Larry Lessig — who served as the Office Manager of OBAMA FOR AMERICA in San Francisco.

Similarly, there was no mention, that tech-guru Mitchell Kapor — founder of Lotus 1-2-3 and the spouse of Freada Kapor, is part of OBAMA FOR AMERICA’s technical team.

Also located at The Kapor Center at 543 Howard St., 5th. Floor, in San Francisco were two newly created non-profit entities launched by Larry Lessig, Aaron Swartz, Joe Trippi, and Monica Walsh (a friend of Bettina) known as “Change Congress” and “Change V2 Foundation.”

Following the 2008 election of President Obama, Larry Lessig and his wife departed California. In 2010, Larry Lessig, Monica Walsh, and others launched a whole new Section 501(C) non-profit entity known as “Democracy Fund, Inc.”, EIN 27-2439840. On June 6, 2011, Larry Lessig, Monica Walsh, and others caused Change V2 Foundation (which was launched in 2008) to also operate under the name “Democracy Fund, Inc.” (EIN 26-3088283).

CONTRA COSTA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE JUDY JOHNSON ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLEMENT

A former employee of the State Bar of California — who California Governor Jerry Brown appointed to the Contra Costa County Superior Court bench under questionable circumstances involving his cousin, former California Public Utility Commissioner Geoffrey Brown — is accused in federal court of committing myriad financial crimes and acts of fraud.

Documents filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia reveal that Judy Johnson of Rodeo allegedly engaged in predicate acts of racketeering through and by means of money laundering, mail and bank fraud, as well as conversion of funds.

Johnson, female, black, is no stranger to financial schemes. For the past 8 years, she has been quietly serving as the president of an entity with a misleading name (California Consumer Protection Foundation AKA “CCPF”). This entity absorbed close to $30 million in class action cy pres awards, as well as fines and settlements imposed by the California Public Utilities Commission on utility companies. CCPF forwarded those funds to mostly questionable ACORN-like entities in South Los Angeles or to an entity headed by Michael Shames known as UCAN — presently under federal grand jury investigation in San Diego.

It appears that Johnson misused her position with the State Bar of California as “clout” to obtain cy pres awards from the settlement of class actions prosecuted and defended by various law firms in courts and before the CPUC. In addition, while never prosecuted for the scheme, some have speculated that Johnson and cohorts Robert Hawley (whom Johnson labeled the “Wizard of OZ”) and Starr Babcock were “in” on a financial scheme perpetrated by former State Bar employee Sharon Pearl, who was lightly prosecuted by then-attorney general Jerry Brown, cousin of Geoffrey Brown.

The lawsuit, filed as a civil-racketeering action by Marina Del Rey-based community activist Daniel Dydzak, also names as a defendants Starr Babcock and Robert Hawley.

According to confidential sources familiar with the situation, Dydzak filed the suit in Washington DC, because he is extremely concerned that given the caliber of the defendants and the fact that they are in control of the justice system in California, they will seek to injure him in various ways, including in seeking to somehow derail the suit.

According to these sources, Tom Layton, investigator from the State Bar of California who is well connected with Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca, in the past paid a visit to Dydzak’s neighborhood, and sought to convince his neighbors to falsely accuse Dydzak of various acts of misconduct, including providing improper and unlawful legal counsel.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE HOLLY FUJIE ACCUSED OF MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS, MONEY LAUNDERING

A former partner of Los Angeles-based Buchalter Nemer — who California Governor Jerry Brown appointed to the Los Angeles County Superior Court bench under questionable circumstances involving his cousin, former California Public Utility Commissioner Geoff Brown — is accused in federal court of committing myriad financial crimes and acts of fraud.

Documents filed in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia reveal that Holly Fujie of Los Angeles allegedly engaged in predicate acts of racketeering through and by means of money laundering, mail and bank fraud, as well as conversion of funds.

The lawsuit, filed as a civil-racketeering action by Marina Del Rey-based community activist Daniel Dydzak, also names as a defendant Bet Tzedek Legal Services of Los Angeles and Eric George — the son of the controversial former chief justice of California, Ronald George.

Both Holly Fujie and Eric George were directors of Bet Tzedek, an entity which obtained millions of dollars from the various trusts funds maintained and operated by the State Bar of California, as well as funds from the California Bar Foundation, where Holly Fujie presently serves as the vice-president.

Both the State Bar of California and the California Bar Foundation are under the direct control of the California Supreme Court.

The various legal trust funds maintained by the State Bar of California are overseen by the Legal Services Trust Fund Commission where, coincidently, Holly Fujie also served as director.

Heading the commission is David Lash of O’Melveny & Myers, another lawyer who is a director of Bet Tzedek, and Bonnie Rubin of 1st Century Bank — a bank owned by former president of the State Bar of California Alan Rothenberg. Coincidently, Eric George is part owner of 1st Century Bank.

Dydzak alleges in his lawsuits that part of the millions originated from the State Bar of California and its foundation headed to Bet Tzedek were embezzled by the various actors and were siphoned to off shore bank accounts.

Bet Tzedek is headed by CEO Sandor “Sandy” Samuels — former Chief Trial Counsel at embattled Countywide Financial Services — who according to Dydzak was appointed President and CEO of Bet Tzedek largely due to his working knowledge of how to operate an enterprise which engages in myriad financial crimes.

According to confidential sources familiar with the situation, Dydzak filed the suit in Washington DC, because he is extremely concerned that given the caliber of the defendants and the fact that they are in control of the justice system in California, they will seek to injure him in various ways, including in seeking to somehow derail the suit.

According to these sources, Tom Layton, investigator from the State Bar of California who is well connected with Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca, in the past paid a visit to Dydzak’s neighborhood, and sought to convince his neighbors to falsely accuse Dydzak of various acts of misconduct, including providing improper and unlawful legal counsel.

Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati’s Larry Sonsini Asked to Conduct Formal Investigation Into Actions of John Roos, Mark Parnes:

Mr. Sonsini:

In that I entertain thoughts that around 2007-2008 John Roos and Mark Parnes may have participated in a scheme to embezzle and/or launder money from/through the California Bar Foundation in conjunction with non-profit entity CaliforniaALL to benefit “Obama for America”, this will serve to discuss the following:

Unlike James Brosnahan, Tony West, Annette Carnegie, Chris Young,
Susan Mac Cormac (of Morrison & Foerster), Ron Olson, Jeff Bleich,
Brad Phillips (of Munger Tolles & Olson), Steven Churchwell (of DLA
Piper), Kamala Harris, Judy Johnson, and Holly Fujie — where
evidence provides a clear enmeshment between the actors, the firm, as
well as an intense desire by the clients (i.e.Southern California
Edison, PG&E, Sempra Energy) to finance the scheme; as far as Messrs. Roos and Parnes, I don’t see the same level of involvement on your part, your firm, or any your clients.

Nevertheless, I must ask Wilson Sonsini to conduct a formal
investigation into the past actions of Messrs. Parnes and Roos.
Specifically, while Mr. Parnes served as director and secretary of the
California Bar Foundation, the Foundation reported to the IRS that
REVENUE LESS EXPENSES in 2007 equaled plus +$373.842.00. However, in 2008, the Foundation reported to the IRS that REVENUE LESS EXPENSES equaled minus -$537,712 .

In its 2008 Annual Report, the Foundation offers an excuse as to the
negative balance (See page 9:
►http://www.scribd.com/doc/48712884/3-2008-Annual-Report-of-Foundation-of-the-State-Bar-of-California-Foundation
)by stating:

“In 2007-2008, the Foundation supported the launching of CaliforniaALL
and, as the project filed for incorporation and 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
status, served as CaliforniaALL’s fiscal sponsor. A collaboration
between the California Public Employment Retirement System, the
California Public Utilities Commission, the California Department of
Insurance, and the State Bar of California, CaliforniaALL was created
in an effort to close the achievement gap among California students
from preschool to the profession and, specifically, to bolster the
pipeline of young people of diverse backgrounds headed for careers in
law, financial services, and technology. Once CaliforniaALL obtained
its tax-exempt status and was able to function as a fully independent
nonprofit organization, the foundation granted the balance of funds
raised for the project – totaling $769,247 – to the new entity.”

Also cleverly buried in the California Bar Foundation’s 2008 annual
report was the following sentence :

“We thank the following corporations for their gifts in support of
CaliforniaALL:

AT & T

Edison International

PG & E Corporation Foundation

Verizon”

See page 24 : ►http://www.scribd.com/doc/48712884/3-2008-Annual-Report-of-Foundation-of-the-State-Bar-of-California-Foundation

Unfortunately, while I able to ascertain from Foundation’s tax records
an “exit” of the $774,247 in 2008 (the apparent source of which was
allegedly the above-referenced 4 utility companies), I was unable to
ascertain when and where the Foundation reported to the IRS — either in 2008 or 2007 or 2006 or 2005 — an “entry” of those funds which it allegedly held in trust for CaliforniaALL.

Also troubling, for example, is the fact that Verizon did not report
to the IRS either in 2007 or 2008 that it had contributed any money to
the California Bar Foundation or CaliforniaALL. See :

►http://www.scribd.com/doc/102325087/Verizon-Foundation-IRS-990-Year-2007
►http://www.scribd.com/doc/102325330/Verizon-Foundation-IRS-990-Year-2008

Other then collecting close to $2 million directly from utility
companies (including the “hush-hush” transfer of $774,247, comprised
of one installment of $5000 and another contribution of $769,247 from
the Foundation which was never mentioned in the Foundation’s
“newsroom” or by any other of its publications such as the California
Bar Journal or by any of the newsletters and alerts published by
CaliforniaALL), CaliforniaALL appears to have been be a sham, phantom
entity from its inception in 2008 to the day it began to slowly be
dissolved in approximately 2009, subsequent to the election of Barack
Obama as president of the U.S. Its only alleged achievement was
providing some money for the creation of the Saturday Academy of Law
at UC Irvine ("SALUCI") in approximately 2008-2009.

Here too vast and intense suspicious circumstances exist as the funds
from CaliforniaALL actually went to the UC Irvine Foundation, where
the present executive director of the State Bar of California (Senator
Joe Dunn) serves as a member of the audit committee, and it turns out
that the SALUCI was actually already created in 2005 and was fully
operational before CaliforniaALL arrived on the scene. In addition,
some records seem to indicate that Verizon Wireless funneled the money
directly to SALUCI , while CaliforniaALL took the credit.

CaliforniaALL was conveniently housed free of charge at the offices of
DLA Piper in Sacramento, alongside the draft committee of OBAMA FOR
AMERICA . Steve Churchwell of DLA Piper in Sacramento served as
Treasurer of the draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA.

As matters presently stand, and while other potential explanations
certainly exist, my inquiry leads me to suspect that in 2007 - 2008
the following actors:

Morrison & Foerster’s James Brosnahan (self-proclaimed “mastermind
behind the Democratic Party”),

Morrison & Foerster’s Tony West (Barack Obama’s Chair of California
Finance Committee),

Morrison & Foerster’s Chris Young ("Obama for America" Northern
California Deputy Finance Director) ,

Morrison & Foerster’s Annette Carnegie ( 2007-2008 director with the
California Bar Foundation),

Munger Tolles & Olson’s Jeff Bleich (president of the State Bar of
California, director with the California Bar Foundation, founding
member and Chair of Barack Obama’s National Finance Committee),

Munger Tolles & Olson’s Brad Phillips (2007-2008 director with the
California Bar Foundation),

DLA Piper’s Steven Churchwell (Treasurer, draft committee of OBAMA FOR
AMERICA) ,

Wilson Sonsini’s Mark Parnes ( 2007-2008 director and secretary of
the California Bar Foundation),

Wilson Sonsini’s John Roos ( friend of Jeff Bleich, “bundler” for
Barack Obama) ,

Kamala Harris (Obama for America, CaliforniaALL),

may have participated in a scheme to misuse the California Bar
Foundation/CaliforniaALL for the purpose of embezzling /laundering
funds originating from utility companies which were unlawfully
misdirected to Obama for America.

GOOD Ol’ BOYS

Ronald Leroy Olson is a man proud of his humble Iowa background. Like his two close friends and business partners from across the Missouri River in Omaha, Nebraska — Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger —Olson prefers to not flash his wealth and engage in conspicuous consumption.

Given the opportunity, Olson will boast about his upbringing in Iowa, which he claims instilled in him an honest work ethic. To hear him talk, one would often believe that Olson is a good-ol’ country farmer who sweats profusely while tilling the land and fears the limelight lest it fade his suit, rather than the shrewd, well-connected attorney who sits on the board of Berkshire Hathaway, Edison International, Southern California Edison, City National Corporation, The Washington Post Company, Western Asset Trusts, RAND Corporation, the Mayo Clinic, and the Council of Foreign Relations, or the attorney who in his spare time practices law out of Los Angeles-based Munger Tolles Olson on behalf of Berkshire Hathaway, Edison International, Southern California Edison, Western Asset Trust, and many other entities such as The Yucaipa Company, Hollywood studios, and other major banks and utility companies. (A similar tactic is used by Warren Buffett, who portrays himself as the harmless average Joe who drinks 5 cans of Cherry Coke a day and spends his time playing bridge.) Gold? That’s for Jews to sew into their garments, Charlie Munger declared recently. We are into value investing in productive and honest businesses. Greed ? Speculation? Hollywood? Churning ? Control and influence over banks, monetary policies, the media, utilities, and the government? Not us, no sirree Bob.

WAR STORY TIME

The second-in-command at Berkshire Hathaway — Charlie Munger — is not currently actively practicing law, although he holds the position of “of counsel” at Munger Tolles & Olson — a firm previously described by various media outlets as the best law firm in the country with an army of lawyers ready to wage war, and whose client list includes Berkshire Hathaway, Verizon Communication, and Southern California Edison.

Those warring lawyers often win various awards and designations by major California legal newspapers such as the “Los Angeles Daily Journal” and “San Francisco Daily Journal,” coincidentally owned by Charlie Munger, one of the founding fathers of Munger Tolles & Olson.

Other corporate law firms operating in California with large books of business from major utility companies include Northern California-based Morrison & Foerster (PG&E, El Paso), Keker & Van Nest (PG&E), DLA Piper (Sempra Energy, owner of San Diego Electricity ), and now-defunct Howard Rice (PG&E), which is now part of Arnold & Porter.

Beginning in 2000, these law firms were busy defending utility companies in the countless lawsuits and monumental proceedings stemming from California’s energy crisis. A unique features of those law firms is a tendency to obscure their corporate practices (i.e. defending tobacco companies, banks, utilities, mortgage companies) from public view. Instead, they would rather publicize their effort to promote diversity, and their alleged contributions to equal rights for all. For example, in the “Prop 8 marriage cases” Keker & Van Nest, Munger Tolles & Olson, Howard Rice, and Morrison & Foerster played pivotal roles. However, and although I may be mistaken, a quick review of Morrison & Foerster’s website listings for its California offices does not show even one male, African-American attorney working in California; moreover, Howard Rice has been sued for rescinding an offer of employment to a Latina attorney on the grounds of downsizing, only to continue to hire white men.

Those firms which represented the utility companies during California energy crisis, and the class-action plaintiffs’ firms who sued on behalf of consumers (such as Girardi & Keese and Cotchett Pitre & McCarthy) developed a penchant for congregating around the State Bar of California, and more specifically the California Bar Foundation. At times, strange though it may seem, two representatives from the same firms would serve as directors of the California Bar Foundation, as was the case in 2007-2008 when Jeff Bleich and Bradley Phillips of Munger Tolles & Olson served as directors, or currently where there are two directors from Arnold Porter.

A GOLDEN CAPED SUPERMAN

In 2007, Jeffrey Bleich was a ready-to-wage-war attorney working for Ronald Leroy Olson at Munger Tolles & Olson who was dubbed by some media outlets as Superman.

Bleich (if you believe Charlie Munger, while he had gold sewed into his cape) launched and co-chaired the national finance committee of Obama for America. Other attorneys from law firms representing utility companies seeking to place Obama in office because they hoped he would support the Smart-Grid and clean energy initiatives followed suit. Steven Churchwell of DLA Piper in Sacramento , James Brosnahan, Tony West and Chris Young of Morrison & Foerster, Kamala Harris (a protege of Willie Brown - a lackey of PG&E), and Doug Scrivner (who served as chief legal counsel of Accenture- a relatively unknown yet powerful entity) organized to push for the election of Barack Obama on behalf of those seeking to promote green energy.

At that time, Bleich was on a mission to put Obama in office on behalf of utility companies. The cover story was that Bleich and Obama are “good friends” ever since Bleich was asked to recruit Obama as clerk for appellate court Justice Abner Mikva.

Bleich — while serving as member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors and as director of the California Bar Foundation (alongside another war ready, gold sewing attorney from Munger Tolles, Bradley Phillips) — was a man on a mission.

SMART GREED

While an officer at the State Bar of California, Jeffrey Bleich and James Brosnahan were instrumental in pushing for the urgent creation of a non-profit entity known as CaliforniaALL.

My inquiry into CaliforniaALL began close to one year ago when I stumbled upon unusually large and highly peculiar financial transactions in conjunction with what appeared to me to be clear attempts to conceal and mislead. In order to deflect potential allegations that I am motivated by politics, I wish to assure the readers that my inquiry into these issues was not and is not motivated by politics. In fact, the only actor that I have ever met is James Brosnahan, who I met once for a short period of time while a volunteer with BASF - VLSP, a volunteer organization that awarded me a volunteer of the year award.

In 2010, the United States Federal Court of Appeal for the Ninth Circuit issued its final ruling in the disciplinary matter of In Re Girardi by imposing close to $500,000 in sanctions on Walter Lack of Engstrom Lispcomb & Lack and Thomas Girardi of Girardi & Keese stemming from an attempt to defraud the court and cause injury to Dole Food Company in the underlying litigation. You may have heard of Walter Lack and Thomas Girardi as they are the lawyers who were featured in the movie “Erin Brokovich” involving utility company PG&E.

The court ruled that Walter Lack (who stipulated to special prosecutor Rory Little that his prolonged acts of misconduct were intentional) and Thomas Girardi intentionally and recklessly resorted to the use of known falsehoods for years. The Ninth Circuit ordered Girardi and Lack to report their misconduct to the State Bar of California.

The State Bar of California disqualified itself from handling the matter since Howard Miller (of Girardi & Keese) served at that time as its president, and had also made the decision to hire then-chief prosecutor, James Towery.

Mr. Towery, in turn, appointed Jerome Falk of Howard Rice (now Arnold & Porter) as outside “special prosecutor” to determine whether or not to bring charges against Girardi and Lack. (Mr. Falk is a colleague of Douglas Winthrop, and both represented PG&E in its massive bankruptcy proceedings.)

Mr. Falk, in turn, exercised prosecutorial discretion and concluded that he did not believe Lack acted intentionally and that no charges will be brought against the two attorneys.

Within days of Mr. Falk’s decision, I filed an ethics complaint with the State Bar of California against Jerome Falk, James Towery, Howard Miller, and Douglas Winthrop (managing partner of Howard Rice and then-elected president of the Foundation), alleging that it was improper for Mr. Towery to appoint Mr. Falk given the close personal relationship between Howard Miller and Douglas Winthrop. Specifically, Howard Miller — in his capacity as president of the State Bar — had appointed Douglas Winthrop as president of the California Bar Foundation, a foundation maintained and controlled by the State Bar. (Much later I also discovered that Jerome Falk is actually the personal attorney of Thomas Girardi, and that Howard Rice and Jerome Falk represented Walter Lack, Thomas Girardi, Engstrom Lispcomb & Lack, and Girardi & Keese in approximately 2007, and for a period of 2 years, in a malpractice action.)

As such, while at the time I was not familiar with those individuals, I reviewed the Foundation’s annual reports to familiarize myself with the names of the Foundation’s board of directors, and to try to resolve various inconsistencies regarding who was serving as the Foundation’s president and why Robert Scott Wylie appeared to be the president when data showed that he had relocated to Indiana in 2006. I checked the Foundation’s tax returns and it was then that I fortuitously stumbled upon the fact that the Foundation ended 2008 close to $500,000 in the negative. Specifically, the Foundation reported to the IRS that REVENUE LESS EXPENSES in 2007 equaled plus +$373.842.00. However, in 2008, the Foundation reported to the IRS that REVENUE LESS EXPENSES equaled minus -$537,712.

In its 2008 Annual Report (See page 9 : ►http://www.scribd.com/doc/48712884/3-2008-Annual-Report-of-Foundation-of-the-State-Bar-of-California-Foundation ), the Foundation alludes to CaliforniaALL by stating:

“In 2007-2008, the Foundation supported the launching of CaliforniaALL and, as the project filed for incorporation and 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status, served as CaliforniaALL’s fiscal sponsor. A collaboration between the California Public Employment Retirement System, the California Public Utilities Commission, the California Department of Insurance, and the State Bar of California, CaliforniaALL was created in an effort to close the achievement gap among California students from preschool to the profession and, specifically, to bolster the pipeline of young people of diverse backgrounds headed for careers in law, financial services, and technology. Once CaliforniaALL obtained its tax-exempt status and was able to function as a fully independent nonprofit organization, the foundation granted the balance of funds raised for the project – totaling $769,247 – to the new entity.”

Also cleverly buried in the California Bar Foundation’s 2008 annual report was the following sentence :

“We thank the following corporations for their gifts in support of CaliforniaALL:

AT & T

Edison International

PG & E Corporation Foundation

Verizon”

See page 24 : ►http://www.scribd.com/doc/48712884/3-2008-Annual-Report-of-Foundation-of-the-State-Bar-of-California-Foundation
*

While I was able to ascertain from Foundation’s tax records an “exit” of the $774,247 in 2008 (the apparent source of which was allegedly the above-referenced 4 utility companies), I was unable to ascertain when and where the Foundation reported to the IRS — either in 2008 or 2007 or 2006 or 2005 — an “entry” of those funds which it allegedly held in trust for CaliforniaALL.

(Later, Jill Sperber of the State Bar of California, in a letter she sent to me dated July 28, 2011 claimed that “....No State Bar or California Bar Foundation funds were used for CaliforniaALL creation...The California Bar Foundation served as CaliforniaALL’s escrow holder only to hold fundraising funds before its formal incorporation... Once CaliforniaALL was formed as a non-profit entity, the funds were paid over to it...”

Most troubling, however, is the fact that Verizon did not report to the IRS either in 2007 or 2008 that it had contributed any money to the California Bar Foundation or CaliforniaALL. See :

►http://www.scribd.com/doc/102325087/Verizon-Foundation-IRS-990-Year-2007
►http://www.scribd.com/doc/102325330/Verizon-Foundation-IRS-990-Year-2008

Ultimately, by conducting further research into the actors and events surrounding the Foundation, CaliforniaALL, and related entities, individuals, and events, I unearthed what appears to be a lengthy trail of attempts to mislead and defraud.

CaliforniaALL - Obama for America

In approximately 2007, Ruthe Catolico Ashley — an attorney from Sacramento and a member of the State Bar of California Board of Governors — was employed by Cal PERS as a “Diversity Officer.” Jeffrey Bleich of Munger Tolles & Olson was serving as President of the State Bar. Both Bleich and Ashley are politically active, and were supporting the 2008 campaign of Barack Obama for President. Ruthe Ashley was involved in the Asian-Americans for Obama branch in Sacramento.

In April 2007, Chief of Staff to CPUC’s President Michael Peevey, Peter Arth, Jr. urged Ruthe Catolico Ashley to meet him at a restaurant in San Francisco. During that meeting, the idea to create CaliforniaALL (initially named CaAAL or CaALL) was conceived.

In its brief existence, CaliforniaALL collected close to $2 million from utility companies (AT&T, PG&E, Verizon, Sempra, Southern California Edison), including a sub-rosa "hush -hush"contribution of $769,247.00 from the California Bar Foundation — —CaliforniaALL appears to have been be a sham, phantom entity.

CaliforniaALL was conveniently housed free of charge at the offices of DLA Piper in Sacramento, alongside the draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA . Steve Churchwell of DLA Piper in Sacramento served as Treasurer of the draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA.

Subsequent to the election of Barack Obama, CaliforniaALL was dissolved.

As matters presently stand, my inquiry leads me to suspect that in 2008 Morrison & Foerster attorneys:

James Brosnahan (self-proclaimed "mastermind behind the Democratic Party.),

Tony West (Barack Obama’s Chair of California Finance Committee),

Chris Young ("Obama for America" Northern California Deputy Finance Director)

Annette Carnegie (former director with the California Bar Foundation

In conjunction with:

Kamala Harris (Co-Chair, Obama for America ; member of CaliforniaALL)

Jeffrey Bleich (Munger Tolles & Olson, president of the State Bar of California, director with the California Bar Foundation, founding member and Chair of Barack Obama’s National Finance Committee)

Steven Churchwell ( DLA Piper, Treasurer, draft committee of OBAMA FOR AMERICA)

Executed a sophisticated financial scheme to misuse all or part of the “hush-hush” $780,000.00 originating from the California Bar Foundation by improperly transferring the money to Barack Obama’s coffers via a separate foundation created ad hoc by Susan Mac Cormac of Morrison & Foerster — CaliforniaALL.

CaliforniaALL - The San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS)

Given the above suspicious circumstantial evidence surrounding CaliforniaALL, due to recent wide media coverage dealing with the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station (SONGS), I begun to also entertain thoughts that the owner of SONGS (Edison International and Sempra Energy) as well as the law firms which represent Edison International and Sempra Energy (Munger Tolles & Olson and DLA Piper, respectively) may have also taken the opportunity to misuse the California Bar Foundation / CaliforniaALL to bribe CPUC officials in matters relating to SONGS.

Specifically, serving alongside Jeffrey Bleich and Bradley Phillips as director of the California Bar Foundation was also CPUC Commissioner Geoffrey Brown, cousin of California Governor Jerry Brown.

See bottom page: ►http://www.scribd.com/doc/48712884/3-2008-Annual-Report-of-Foundation-of-the-State-Bar-of-California-Foundation

As a reminder, while Jeff Bleich, Bradley Phillips and CPUC Commissioner Geoffrey Brown served as director of the California Bar Foundation an unusually large and unexplained sum of money (courtesy of utility companies) was allocated to be transferred to CaliforniaALL — an entity created through the urging of Peter Arth of the CPUC.

Incidentally, during the same time period, Geoffrey Brown was the assigned commissioner in the application Edison International/ Southern California Edison submitted to the CPUC for authorization: (1) to replace SONGS 2 & 3 steam generators; (2) establish ratemaking for cost recovery; and (3) address other related steam generator replacement issues.
