  • 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.
