In
the discovery phase of a Federal lawsuit in the United States Court, Northern
California District, filed against the Defendant California Superior Court,
County of Santa Clara (“Superior Court”), Plaintiff complains of Defendant Superior Court committing egregious
acts of discovery disobedience.
It
is ironic that the very institution, the California Superior Court that is
supposed to epitomize justice and which compels the rest of the world to follow
discovery rules and statutes in cases before them, itself, appears to engage in
blatant disregard for Federal Discovery rules and law.
Here,
Plaintiff complains that Superior Court engaged in multiple practices of
discovery disobedience by failing to serve all parties to the case with its
discovery response, failing to engage in the required oral meet and confer,
failing to produce required documents, failing to respond to Plaintiffs’
discovery in a good faith and in a straightforward manner, et al.
Defendant
Superior Court’s discovery disobedience is even more egregious given its
refusal to permit its employees and Judges, in their individual capacity, to be
deposed or be subjected to written discovery, raising road blocks like mental
process privilege.
The rest of the world is held accountable for its wrongs,
but not employees and Judges of the California Superior Court.
Although
the Federal Court grants, in part, Plaintiff’s motion to compel some written
discovery, most of which Plaintiff believes is superficial, it “bails out” the
Superior Court from the bulk of the required discovery and sanctions requested
against them, essentially letting them off the hook and engaging in what public
may perceive to be an RICO act. See attached Court Order, dated September 9,
2015.
The
United States District Court Judges at the San Jose Federal Court consists
entirely of ex-Superior Court Judges, like Judge Edward Davila, Judge Lucy Koh,
Judge Beth Freeman, Judge Jeremy Fogel, Judge Ronald M. Whyte, the latter being
the assigned judge on this instant case, despite his close association and immediate
last employment with the Defendant California Superior Court, in the same Santa
Clara County, and despite his open admission that his spouse, Ann Whyte, earns
her living provide services to the Superior Court, Santa Clara County.
Plaintiff’s
28 U.S.C §455 et al. conflict of interest motion is denied by assigned Judge
Whyte, despite admitting to the conflict of interest. The public suspicion of RICO acts between the San Jose Federal Court Judges and the Defendant California Superior Court appears to be intensifying and may result in a public inquiry and a Department of Justice investigation.
