submission, the clerk must immediately notify the parties of the ruling, order, or judgment. The notification, which must specifically
identify the matter ruled on, may be given by mailing the parties a copy of the ruling, order, or judgment, and it constitutes service of notice

is not meritorious and cause for its denial and, in the case of a demurrer, as a waiver of all grounds not supported
CRC, Rule 3.1312. Preparation and submission of proposed order
(a) Prevailing party to prepare Unless the parties waive notice or the court orders otherwise, the party prevailing on any motion must,
within five days of the ruling, serve by any means authorized by law and reasonably calculated to ensure delivery to the other

Within five days after service, the other party or parties must notify the prevailing party as to whether or not the proposed order is so
approved. The opposing party or parties must state any reasons for disapproval. Failure to notify the prevailing party within the time
required shall be deemed an approval. The extensions of time based on a method of service provided under any statute or rule do not
apply to this rule. (Subd (a) amended effective January 1, 2011; previously amended effective July 1, 2000, and January 1, 2007.)

time of hearing or in writing as set forth in (c).

the written opposition must be served and filed on or before the court day before the hearing. Service must be by personal delivery,
facsimile transmission, express mail, or other means consistent with Code of Civil Procedure sections 1010, 1011, 1012, and 1013, and
reasonably calculated to ensure delivery to the other party or parties no later than the close of business on the court day before the hearing.
The court, in its discretion, may consider written opposition filed later.
CCP 86. Specific cases and proceedings that are limited civil cases
(a) The following civil cases and proceedings are limited civil cases:
(1) A case at law in which the demand, exclusive of interest, or the value of the property in controversy amounts to twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000) or less. This paragraph does not apply to a case that involves the legality of any tax, impost, assessment, toll,
or municipal fine, except an action to enforce payment of delinquent unsecured personal property taxes if the legality of the tax is not
contested by the defendant.
CCP 88. Unlimited civil case
A civil action or proceeding other than a limited civil case may be referred to as an unlimited civil case.
CCP 664.5. Notice of entry of judgment
(a) In any contested action or special proceeding other than a small claims action or an action or proceeding in which a prevailing party is
not represented by counsel, the party submitting an order or judgment for entry shall prepare and mail a copy of the notice of entry

APPENDIX-1

CCP 663a. Notice of intention to move to set aside and vacate judgment; Filing and service; Contents; Time limits; Entry of order; Review
(a) A party intending to make a motion to set aside and vacate a judgment, as described in Section 663, shall file with the clerk
and serve upon the adverse party a notice of his or her intention, designating the grounds upon which the motion will be made,
and specifying the particulars in which the legal basis for the decision is not consistent with or supported by the facts, or in which
the judgment or decree is not consistent with the special verdict, either:
(1) After the decision is rendered and before the entry of judgment.
(2) Within 15 days of the date of mailing of notice of entry of judgment by the clerk of the court pursuant to Section 664.5, or service
upon him or her by any party of written notice of entry of judgment, or within 180 days after the entry of judgment, whichever is earliest.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 12a, the power of the court to rule on a motion to set aside and vacate a judgment shall
expire 60 days from the mailing of notice of entry of judgment by the clerk of the court pursuant to Section 664.5, or 60 days after service
upon the moving party by any party of written notice of entry of the judgment, whichever is earlier, or if that notice has not been given,
then 60 days after filing of the first notice of intention to move to set aside and vacate the judgment. If that motion is not determined within
the 60-day period, or within that period, as extended, the effect shall be a denial of the motion without further order of the court. A motion to
set aside and vacate a judgment is not determined within the meaning of this section until an order ruling on the motion is (1) entered in the
permanent minutes of the court, or (2) signed by the judge and filed with the clerk. The entry of an order to set aside and vacate the judgment
in the permanent minutes of the court shall constitute a determination of the motion, even though that minute order, as entered, expressly
directs that a written order be prepared, signed, and filed. The minute entry shall, in all cases, show the date on which the order actually is
entered in the permanent minutes, but failure to comply with this direction shall not impair the validity or effectiveness of the order.
CCP 1005. Requirement of written notice for certain motions
Time for serving and filing; Method of serving

16 court days before the hearing. The moving and supporting papers served shall be a copy of the papers filed or to be filed with the court.
However, if the notice is served by mail, the required 16-day period of notice before the hearing shall be increased by five calendar days if
the place of mailing and the place of address are within the State of California, 10 calendar days if either the place of mailing or the place of
address is outside the State of California but within the United States, and 20 calendar days if either the place of mailing or the place of
address is outside the United States, and if the notice is served by facsimile transmission, express mail, or another method of delivery
providing for overnight delivery, the required 16-day period of notice before the hearing shall be increased by two calendar days.
Section 1013, which extends the time within which a right may be exercised or an act may be done, does not apply to a notice of
motion, papers opposing a motion, or reply papers governed by this section. All papers opposing a motion so noticed shall be filed
with the court and a copy served on each party at least nine court days, and all reply papers at least five court days before the hearing.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, all papers opposing a motion and all reply papers shall be served by personal
delivery, facsimile transmission, express mail, or other means consistent with Sections 1010, 1011, 1012, and 1013, and reasonably
calculated to ensure delivery to the other party or parties not later than the close of the next business day after the time the opposing papers
or reply papers, as applicable, are filed. This subdivision applies to the service of opposition and reply papers regarding motions for summary
judgment or summary adjudication, in addition to the motions listed in subdivision (a).
CCP 1170.5. Time for trial; Extension; Payment of damages pending termination of action
(a) If the defendant appears pursuant to Section 1170, trial of the proceeding shall be held not later than the 20th day following the
date that the request to set the time of the trial is made. Judgment shall be entered thereon and, if the plaintiff prevails, a writ of
execution shall be issued immediately by the court upon the request of the plaintiff.
CCP 1170.7. Motion for summary judgment
A motion for summary judgment may be made at any time after the answer is filed upon giving five days notice.
Summary judgment shall be granted or denied on the same basis as a motion under Section 437c.
CCP 1170.8. Discovery motion
In any action under this chapter, a discovery motion may be made at any time upon giving five days' notice.
Section 1170.8 is new. The section provides for an expedited hearing on a discovery motion in a forcible entry or forcible or unlawful
detainer case, consistent with the precedence for such cases expressed in Section 1179a. The section is modeled on Section 1170.7
(five days notice required for summary judgment motion in action under this chapter).
APPENDIX-2

CRC, Rule 10.603. Authority and duties of presiding judge


(a) General responsibilities The presiding judge is responsible, with the assistance of the court executive officer,
for leading the court, establishing policies, and allocating resources in a manner that promotes access to justice
for all members of the public, provides a forum for the fair and expeditious resolution of disputes, maximizes the
use of judicial and other resources, increases efficiency in court operations, and enhances service to the public.
The presiding judge is responsible for:
(1) Ensuring the effective management and administration of the court, consistent with any rules, policies,
strategic plan, or budget adopted by the Judicial Council or the court;
(2) Ensuring that the duties of all judges specified under rule 10.608 are timely and orderly performed; and
(3) Ensuring that the court has adopted written policies and procedures allowing the presiding judge to perform
efficiently the administrative duties of that office. (Subd (a) amended effective January 1, 2007.)
(b) Authority

(A) Assign judges to departments and designate supervising judges for divisions, districts, or branch courts;
(B) Apportion the business of the court, including assigning and reassigning cases to departments;
(C) Call meetings of the judges;
(D) Appoint standing and special committees of judges;
(E) Act as the spokesperson for the court;
(F) Authorize and direct expenditures from the court's Trial Court Operations Fund; and
(G) Perform all acts necessary to accomplish the duties specified by the rules of court.
(2) No local rule or policy may limit the authority of the presiding judge as granted in the rules of court.(Subd (b)
amended effective January 1, 2007.)
(c) Duties
(1) Assignments The presiding judge has ultimate authority to make judicial assignments.
The presiding judge must:
(A) Designate a judge to preside in each department, including a master calendar judge when appropriate,
and designate a presiding judge of the juvenile division and a supervising judge for each division, district, or branch
court. In making judicial assignments, the presiding judge must take into account the following:
(i) The needs of the public and the court, as they relate to the efficient and effective management of the
court's calendar;
(ii) The knowledge and abilities demanded by the assignment;
(iii) The judge's judicial and nonjudicial experience, including specialized training or education;
(iv) The judge's interests;
(v) The need for continuity in the assignment;
(vi) The desirability of exposing the judge to a particular type of assignment; and
(vii) Other appropriate factors. Judicial assignments must not be based solely or primarily on seniority;
(B) Assign to a master calendar judge any of the duties that may more appropriately be performed by that
department;
(C) Supervise the court's calendar, apportion the business of the court among the several departments of the
court as equally as possible, and publish for general distribution copies of a current calendar specifying the judicial
assignments of the judges and the times and places assigned for hearings;

(E) Designate a judge to act if by law or the rules of court a matter is required to be presented to or heard by a
particular judge and that judge is absent, deceased, or unable to act.
APPENDIX - 3

(2) Judicial schedules


(A) The presiding judge must adopt a process for scheduling judges' vacations and absences from court for
attendance at schools, conferences, workshops, and community outreach activities, and must prepare a plan for these
vacations and absences from court.
(B) The plan should take into account the principles contained in standards 10.1110.13 (on judicial education)
and standard 10.5 (on community activities) of the Standards of Judicial Administration.
(C) The presiding judge must review requests from judges for time absent from court and may approve any
request that is consistent with the plan and with the orderly operation of the court.
(D) The presiding judge must allow each judge to take two days of personal leave per year. Personal leave may
be taken at any time that is approved by the presiding judge.
(E) The presiding judge must allow the following number of days of vacation for each judge annually:
(i) 24 days for judges with less than 7 years of service as a California judge;

(iii) 30 days for judges with 14 or more years of service as a California judge.
(F) The presiding judge may authorize a judge to take more time off than is specified in (c)(2)(E) as justified by
extraordinary circumstances, if the circumstances are documented and the authorization is in writing.
(G) The presiding judge, in his or her discretion, may allow a judge to take additional vacation days equal to the
number of vacation days that the judge did not use in the previous year, up to a maximum of 30 such days. A court
may, by local rule, establish a lower maximum number of such days. This paragraph applies only to vacation days
accrued after January 1, 2001. It does not affect any unused vacation days that a judge may have accrued before
January 1, 2001, which are governed by local court policy, nor does it create any right to compensation for unused
vacation days.
(H) The court must, by local rule, define a day of vacation. Absence from court to attend an authorized
education program, conference, or workshop for judges, or to participate in Judicial Council or other authorized
committees or community outreach activities, is not vacation time if attendance is in accordance with the plan and has
the prior approval of the presiding judge. Absence from court due to illness is not vacation time. This rule does not
limit the time a judge may be absent from court when unable to work because of illness.
(I) To ensure compliance with the plan, the presiding judge must establish a system to monitor judges' absences
from court and maintain records of those absences.
(3) Submitted cases The presiding judge must supervise and monitor the number of causes under submission

with respect to each cause, designate whether it has been under submission for 30 through 60 days, 61 through 90
days, or over 90 days;
(B) Compile a list of all causes under submission before judges of the court, designated as the submitted list,
which must include the name of each judge, a list of causes under submission before that judge, and the length of
time each cause has been under submission;
(C) Circulate monthly a complete copy of the submitted list to each judge of the court;
(D) Contact and alert each judge who has a cause under submission for over 30 days and discuss ways to ensure
that the cause is timely decided;

APPENDIX - 4

(E) Consider providing assistance to a judge who has a cause under submission for over 60 days; and
(F) Consider requesting the services of the Administrative Office of the Courts to review the court's calendar
management procedures and make recommendations whenever either of the following conditions exists in the court
for the most recent three months:
(i) More than 90 civil active cases are pending for each judicial position; or

(ii) Any absences caused by disability totaling more than 90 court days in a 12-month period, excluding
absences authorized under (c)(2);

(i) Complete a confidential evaluation form;
(ii) Submit the form annually to the Administrative Director of the Courts;
(iii) Direct complaints against the assigned judge to the Chief Justice, by forwarding them to the
attention of the Administrative Director of the Courts, and provide requested information in writing to
the Administrative Director of the Courts in a timely manner; and
(iv) Assist the Administrative Director in the process of investigating, evaluating, and making
recommendations to the Chief Justice regarding complaints against retired judges who serve on assignment.
(5) Personnel
(A) The presiding judge must provide general direction to and supervision of the court executive officer, or, if
the court has no executive officer, perform the duties of the court executive regarding personnel as specified in rule
10.610(c)(1).

offered to the court executive officer at the time of the executive officers appointment and any subsequent changes to

to carry out its functions effectively. In a court with an executive officer, the presiding judge may delegate these
duties to the court executive officer, but the presiding judge must ensure that the court executive officer performs
such delegated duties consistent with the court's established budget.
(7) Meetings and committees The presiding judge must establish a process for consulting with the judges of the
court and may call meetings of the judges as needed. The presiding judge may appoint standing and special

understanding of and involvement with the justice system and to obtain appropriate community input
regarding the administration of justice, consistent with the California Code of Judicial Ethics and standard
10.5 of the Standards of Judicial Administration.
(9) Planning The presiding judge must:
(A) Prepare, with the assistance of appropriate court committees and appropriate input from the
community, a long-range strategic plan that is consistent with the plan and policies of the Judicial Council,

section 69944.

ISSUE ON APPEAL
Did the court exceed its power, constitutionally limited in Article III, Section 3,
by running a Star Chamber Court 1 to revise a statute by judicial proclamation,
transmuting prevailing partys judgment into a victory for the non-prevailing party?

APPEALABILITY
Under CCP 904.2(a), appellant Bonnie Shipley appeals from a final judgment
[CT 223: 3/20/14], after a former Panel directed final judgment entered in her favor
[CT 57: 8/13/13] by way of a Notice of Appeal [CT 269: 4/14/14] and NDR [CT 275].
Shipley was forced to appeal because the courts paraphrasing of former Panels
conclusions, coupled with revising a statute by judicial proclamation, effectively
authorized respondent Stubblefield to evict her directly, contravening former Panels
conclusion that Stubblefield could not evict Shipley directly because there was no
privity of contract between them---a statutory prerequisite to a direct eviction.

DE NOVO STANDARD OF APPEAL 2


The court revised Civil 798.56[d] in a judgment prepared by Stubblefield,
despite Shipleys objection to directing a non-prevailing party to write the judgment.
It was delivered to chambers ex parte on 3/20/14. Judge Sachs signed and entered
the judgment immediately, depriving Shipley of any opportunity to object to its form.
Because the judgment transmuted loser Stubblefield into a winner, by gratuitously
granting him the same relief requested in his sham complaint [judicial authorization
to evict Shipley directly without privity of contract between them] she was forced to
appeal her own judgment or face the eviction former Panel rescued her from last year.
1

Star Chamber Court [15th Century] was permitted to inflict any punishment except
death, without being bound by normal court rules or procedures. Modernly, it is
used metaphorically to describe a runaway court, where a judge disregards codes,
civil procedures, rules of court, or attempts to revise statutes by proclamation.

Com. for Green Foothills v. Santa Clara Board of Supervisors (2010) 48 C.4th 32,42
[do novo standard of appeal is applied where the Panel must interpret a statutory dispute]

INTRODUCTION
Our legal system is based on the principle that an independent, fair
and competent judiciary will interpret and apply the laws that govern us.
The role of the judiciary is central to Americanjustice and the rule of law.
Intrinsicareprecepts that judges, individually and collectively, must
respect and honor the judicial office as a public trust and strive to enhance
and maintain confidence in our legal system. Judicial Ethics, Preamble
A public office is a public trust. Public Corruption-Maximizing Remedies
by Michael A. Sachs, Esq., Chief Deputy County Counsel and Leonard Gumport 3
After 7 years as judge and 13 years as county counsel prosecuting public trust abuse,
Judge Sachs knew he could not run a Star Chamber Court, disregard codes & rules,
or revise a statute by judicial proclamation to transmute a loser into a winner.
Judge Sachs ran a Star Chamber Court by ordering non-prevailing party to
write prevailing partys judgment [and deliver it ex parte to chambers] which revised
a statute to authorize Shipleys direct eviction without privity of contract. This ruse
flouted former Panels conclusion that Stubblefield could not evict Shipley directly
because he was not in privity of contract with her, as well as its conclusion that such
eviction attempts would be illegal. This gratuitous gift exceeded constitutional limits
on judicial power imposed by Article III,3 and ArticleVI,13.
Forcing a second appeal imposes an undue burden on the Appellate Division.
Once judgment for defendant is ordered by Writ of Mandate, and a plaintiff has
exhausted appeals up to the Supreme Court, the burden to defend should be over.
Paraphrasing former Panels conclusions, affirmed on appeal, to transmute a loser
into a winner---to advance a political agenda---should not be condoned by this court.
After prevailing last year by writ petition, Shipley is forced to prosecute a second
appeal to eschew a tainted judgment from ripening into an un-appealable judgment.
3

by Michael Sachs 9/14/05-Annual Meeting of County Counsels in Los Gatos

Presiding Panel is not the same panel who issued a writ of mandate last year.
Former Panel held Stubblefield could not evict Shipley directly as no privity of
contract existed between them because she was co-resident of a homeowner on a lease.
[CT 177, 184].

Former Panel found Stubblefields remedy was to proceed directly

against the homeowner for an alleged rule violation by a co-resident or homeowner.


[CT 185]

Privity of contract is a statutory prerequisite to any lawful eviction.

To comply with a 7/22/13 writ, Judge Alvarez granted her summary judgment,
[CT 124:10/21/13], but never entered final judgment on the merits, although Shipley
offered one with the summary judgment order. [CT 148] After voluntary recusal on
1/7/14 Judge Alvarez reassigned the case to Judge Sachs. [RT 17] On 2/19/14, rather
than enter any one of three final judgments Shipley had submitted [CT 161: 2/10/14] ,
Judge Sachs decided to vacate Judge Alvarezs prior summary judgment order,
without any pending motion for such relief. [CT 163] In fact, jurisdiction to vacate
expired 60 days after Judge Alvarez entered the order on 10/21/13. CCP 663a(b).
Ignoring Shipleys oral & written objections to bizarre Star Court process, Judge
Sachs ordered Stubblefield to compose a new summary judgment order, to replace the
one he vacated after jurisdiction expired, combined with final judgment [CT 163, 165].
This violated Rule 3.1312 calling for the prevailing party to submit a final judgment.
Seizing an opportunity to transmute his loss into a win Stubblefield paraphrased a trial
court finding and Panel conclusions to grant the relief requested in his sham complaint.
Judge Sachs inserted or resident into a statute to expand a homeowner eviction remedy
to all residents. This not only contravened former Panels conclusion that Stubblefield
could not evict Shipley directly, but also revised a statute by judicial proclamation,
exceeding constitutional limits on judicial power in Article III, Section 3. 4 [CT 245]

Article III, Section 3.The powers of state government are legislative,


executive, and judicial. Persons charged with the exercise of one power may
not exercise either of the others except as permitted by this Constitution

Vacating a summary judgment on 3/20/14 5 months after its entry on 10/21/13


exceeded limits imposed by Article VI, 13 on jurisdiction to vacate a judgment. 5
Judge Sachs signed the hybrid judgment on 3/20/14--the same day it was
delivered to chambers ex parteviolating Rule 3.1312. Judge Sachs signing,
as soon as the judgment hit his desk, not only consecrated blatant violations of
Rule 3.1312 but also failed to comply with Local Rule 591.3 requiring judges to
withhold entry of judgment for 10 days to afford a party opportunity to object.
Judge Sachs ordered a deputy to reject objections Shipley tried to file on 3/21/14.
The deputy said they were late as the order had been signed yesterday [3/20/14]
S-33 is a runaway court in which Judge Sachs ignores Codes of Civil Procedure,
Rules of Court, Statutes of Limitation and constitutional limitations on his power.
Judge Sachs acted as Stubblefields de facto advocate. Shipley prayed for Presiding
Panel to hold him in contempt of former Panels writ of mandate and to refer profligate
violations to Committee on Judicial Performance.6 Shipleys prayer for contempt was
rejected by Presiding Panel, 4th Dist. Court of Appeal, Division 2, and Supreme Court.
Shipley was forced to prosecute a second appeal or be summarily evicted through
express authorization of a judicial officer by an evictor without privity of contract.

Article VI,13 No judgment shall be set aside, or new trial granted, in any cause,
on the ground of misdirection of the jury, or of the improper admission or rejection
of evidence, or for any error as to any matter of pleading, or for any error as to any
matter of procedure, unless, after an examination of the entire cause, including the
evidence, the court shall be of the opinion that the error complained of has resulted
in a miscarriage of justice.
6

Whether disciplinary action is appropriate, and the degree of discipline


to be imposed requires a reasoned application of the text and consideration of such
factors as seriousness of the transgression, whether there is a pattern of improper
activity, and the effect of the improper activity on others or on the judicial
system. CJE, p. 3, Impropriety includes conduct that violates the law, court
rules, or provisions of this code, and conduct that undermines a judges
independence, integrity, or impartiality. Canons 2, 2A Comment,2B, 2C

I.

RELEVANT FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY


On 8/1/12 Shipley moved into Space 333 as the homeowners co-resident
in Stubblefields park. On 8/2/12 the homeowner delivered the same co-resident
application she used for all former co-residents since 2005 to the park office.
After homeowner left the park manager confronted Shipley at Space 333,
and threatened to lock her out of the park if she did not move out the next day.
Manager told Shipley if she wanted to live in the park she would have to find a
sugar daddy over 55 who lived in the park and move into his mobile home.
On 8/11/12 a process server nailed a 5-day Notice to Surrender Possession
onto the mobilehome citing Civil Code 798.75[c] as the basis of the demand.
The notice was invalid as subsection [c] applied only to a purchaser or transferee
who occupies a mobile home without a park lease. Shipley was neither one.
Despite warning of invalidity, Stubblefield served a sham eviction on 8/27/12.
[CT 3]. The court overruled Shipleys demurrer ordering her to answer. [CT 5]
After enduring 6 months of scorched earth litigation, Shipley petitioned the
Appellate Division to reverse denial of summary judgment. On 5/6/13 a former
Panel granted relief [CT 189] Former Panel found Civil 798.75[c] did not apply
to Shipley because she was not a purchaser/transferee of a mobile home and as a
lawful co-resident she was not an unlawful occupant. Former Panel found the 5day notice Stubblefield served was invalid and direct eviction was unauthorized:

CT 185
5

A. Former Panel Held, As the Sublessee of a Mobile Home Owner Petitioner


Does Not Fall Within the Category of an Unlawful Occupant.

CT 183

Panel concluded Stubblefield could not evict Shipley directly because there
was no privity of contract between them and Stubblefield did not own the home:

CT 184
Because Stubblefield argued there was no remedy to evict co-residents directly
former Panel opined his remedy was to proceed directly against the homeowner if
he wanted to evict a co-resident for any purported violation of a reasonable rule:

CT 185
Former Panel did not opine as to the reasonableness of Stubblefields park rules.
CT 185

B. Former Panel Never Held Shipley Was An Unlawful Occupant


Former Panel expressly found Shipley did not fall within such definition.
CT 183
Former Panel recited the trial courts 2/14/13 erroneous finding verbatim:
Rather the court found that Section 798.75, subdivision [c]
is not limited in its application , only in the escrow, sale or
transfer of a mobile home. It applies when an occupant of a
mobile home has no right of tenancy and is not otherwise
entitled to occupy the mobile home pursuant to this chapter.
6

CT 181

C. The Trial Court Never Held Shipley Was An Unlawful Occupant.


On 2/14/13 the trial court denied Stubblefields summary judgment, based on
arguing Shipley was an unlawful occupant subject to summary eviction. If the trial
court had found Shipley was an unlawful occupant the court would have granted
Stubblefields summary judgment rendering him the prevailing party. Instead,
the court set a trial date to let a jury decide if Shipley was an unlawful occupant.
On 7/22/13 former Panel issued a writ of mandate directing the trial court
to vacate its denial of summary judgment, to grant summary judgment, and to enter
final judgment on the merits for Shipley, with costs. CT 189
Because Stubblefield appealed Panels order to the Court of Appeal [ CT 132]
and the Supreme Court [CT 143] the trial court was unable to comply with former
Panels mandate until 10/21/13 by entering summary judgment for Shipley. CT 124
Department S-32 clerk served the order on all parties by mail on 10/22/12.

CT 125

The clerks service by mail triggered the clock on Stubblefields window to appeal
[60 days in CRC 8.104] or to move the court to vacate the order. Civil 663(a)(2)
[15 days from clerks mail service]. Stubblefield failed to appeal or move to vacate
the 10/21/13 order granting summary judgment to Shipley. CCP 663(b) recites,
the power of the court to rule on a motion to set aside and
vacate a judgment shall expire 60 days from the mailing of
notice of entry of judgment by the clerk.
Two weeks after Dept. S-32 clerk mailed notice of a summary judgment order,
reciting, DEFENDANT/MOVING PARTY to prepare JUDGMENT Shipley offered
a proposed final judgment to Judge Alvarez on November 4, 2013---accompanied
by Stubblefields objections to it, and his alternate proposed judgment.

CT 153

Judge Alvarez never signed the proposed final judgment Shipley offered or the
alternate final judgment Stubblefield submitted. The court never composed its
own final judgment. The court failed to comply with former Panels directive.

II. Serial Violations of Codes, Rules & Ethics in a Star Chamber Court Exceeded
Constitutional Limits on Judicial Power Imposed by Art. III, 3 & Art. VI, 13
A. Judge Sachs was not Assigned by Presiding Judge per Local Rule 530
On 1/7/14 Shipleys Fee Motion came on for hearing. McCarron asked Judge
Alvarez to recuse as bias is presumed after reversal. Shipley feared he would gut
fees, just as he had done in other pro bono cases, forcing each party to appeal.
After self-recusal Judge Alvarez reassigned the case to Judge Sachs. Judge Alvarez
continued the attorney fee motion to February 10, 2014. [CT 158] Local Rule 530
required the presiding judge to reassign cases. Something was rotten in Denmark.
Why would Judge Alvarez reassign a judicial brother in a department right next door?
Why didnt Judge Alvarez transfer the case to the presiding judge for reassignment?
On 2/10/14 McCarron appeared in S-33 to present the same three judgments she
had submitted to Judge Alvarez on 11/4/13--except the words prevailing party were
deleted because Stubblefield had objected to the words in November. Judge of San
Bernardino Superior Court was substituted for Donald Alvarez, Judge. [CT 161]
Judge Sachs refused to sign any judgment McCarron presented. [RT 26, 29, 30, 36]
A minute order recited counsel for plaintiff to submit proposed judgment to the court.
Judge Sachs continued the 2/10/14 hearing to 2/19/14. Court Rule 3.1312 called for
prevailing party to submit the order. Judge Sachs ignored McCarrons objection to
his failure to comply with 3.1312. Judge Sachs conducts Star Court proceedings.
On 2-19-14 McCarron objected to vacating summary judgment 5 months later.
[RT 40:16]

McCarron objected to no jurisdiction to amend a summary judgment

order as the window to appeal or vacate expired three months earlier--on 12/23/13.
[RT 40:20] McCarron told Judge Sachs he could not paraphrase trial court or Panel
findings. [RT 46:22]. McCarron urged him to consider reciting former Panels twosentence directive while attaching a 10-pg decision for clarity [RT 41:21, 42:14, 47:1]
or enter the order Shipley offered containing genuine findings as shown at CT 209.

McCarron objected again to no jurisdiction to paraphrase findings not recited in the


official transcript or former Panels order. Judge Sachs responded I dont want to
reargue what we just did. RT 47:10 Judge Sachs runs Star Court proceedings.
Judge Sachs exceeded jurisdiction in waiving CCP 663(a)(2)s 60-day statute of
limitations to vacate the Alvarez order. Even if the statute of limitations had not
expired, no judge can vacate a prior judges order unless movant serves Notice of
Motion under CCP 1005 reciting statutory grounds for relief. CRC 3.110, 3.1300.
Under CRC 3.20 local rules cannot be used to preempt California Rules of Court.
This ultra vires act violated Article III, 3 and Article VI, 13 of the Constitution.
The 2/19/14 Minute Order recited, counsel for plaintiff to prepare judgment
as proposed by court by 3/5/14. Objections shall be due no later than 3/12/14.
Judge Sachs ordered Stubblefields counsel to compose a hybrid judgment, violating
Rule 3.1312, calling for prevailing party to prepare the judgment. Who ever heard
of a Judge ordering a loser to write an appellate winners final judgment? No unbiased judge would make such order. Judge Sachs runs Star Court proceedings.
On 3/4/14 Stubblefield offered a judgment reciting both courts found Shipley was
an unlawful occupant. Neither court ever made any such finding. CT 173:24-25
On 3/4/14 Shipley filed objections highlighting the words such as defendant in
RED which were artfully inserted into a paraphrased version of a 2/14/13 transcript
of trial courts findings. CT 165:20. A Court Reporters official transcript [2/14/13]
shows the words such as defendant never appeared therein as shown below:

2/14/13 RT, p.11 of 24

The actual finding recited, It applies when an occupant of a mobile home has no
right of tenancy and is not entitled to occupy the mobile home pursuant to this chapter.
In a paraphrased version of the official 2/14/13 transcript, Stubblefield artfully inserted
the words such as defendant in the middle of a sentence to create a pretext that the
court found Shipley was within a class of unlawful occupants defined in findings.
Below is the paraphrased version Judge Sachs adopted in a judgment entered 3/20/14.

CT 173
Above words such as defendant never appeared in the official 2/14/13 transcript.
Stubblefields paraphrased version also recited that former Panel found Shipley
was a sublessee of the mobilehome --an unauthorized sublessee of a mobilehome-thus, an unlawful occupant. Former Panel actually found exactly the opposite; i.e.
that Shipley was the sublessee of a mobilehome owner-----not a mobilehome!

CT 183 top, ln 2
Judge Sachs refused to consider entering Shipleys proposed judgment reciting the
trial court and former Panels findings and conclusions verbatim as shown at CT 209.
On 3/17/14 McCarron appeared for a third round of Star Court. The transcript
shows bias against McCarron while deferring to Mr. Williamson. Judge Sachs
addressed him as Counsel while calling McCarron maam in a condescending,
loud and misogynist tone of voice. Bias shown: RT 51:17, 52:1, 52:21,54:2, 62:26

10

The following excerpt shows deference to Mr. Williamson, bias against McCarron.

RT 51:17, 52:1, 52:21,54:2, 62:26

Disparate treatment of female attorneys does not comport with Judicial Ethics.

11

The transcript also shows when McCarron objected to paraphrasing former Panels
findings Judge Sachs interrupted to thwart recording of oral objections. RT 54:1

RT 51:24; 52:1

Judge Sachs facilitated Williamsons distortion of Panel findings on the record.

RT 52:18
Williamsons statement there was no particular finding on that was knowingly false.
Williamson and Judge Sachs knew former Panel did make a particular finding on exactly
that issue; i.e. that Shipley was the sublessee of the homeowner and not the sublessee of
the mobile home. Williamson and Judge Sachs also knew former Panel concluded
Shipley was a subtenant of the homeownernot the home.
12

Former Panel found evidence established Shipley was a subtenant of the homeowner.

CT 180-top
Judge Sachs knew former Panel found Shipley was not an unlawful occupant.

CT 183-top
Judge Sachs rebuffed McCarrons request that findings be quoted in full sentences.

RT 53:15-26
Judge Sachs facilitated attorney Williamsons total distortion of Judge Alvarezs
finding on the record by refusing to cross out the words such as defendant from
Stubblefields paraphrased version of findings typed into the proposed judgment.
Judge Alvarez set a trial date for a jury to decide if she was an unlawful occupant.

13

Former Panel quoted the trial courts finding verbatim on 2/14/13 as recited below:
Words such as defendant were not in Panels verbatim quote from a 2/14/13 transcript:

CT 181:5 top
When McCarron objected to Stubblefields distortion Judge Sachs insisted it is accurate.

RT 54:21 bottom
Judge Sachs consecrated Stubblefields distortion by approving his paraphrased
conclusions in the final judgment to create a pretext that both courts found Shipley was
an unlawful occupant not entitled to reside in Space 333 under park rules. Judge Sachs
wrote the words or resident onto his copy of the judgment Stubblefield had submitted,
authorizing Stubblefield to proceed directly against residents under Civil 798.56(d).
McCarron asked why she could not file the order to avoid his paraphrasing. RT 60:25
The court responded It is his motion, it is his work and offered to give us his copy.
The S-33 deputy made copies of the judgment with the Judges notes on it. RT 61:1

RT 63:13
14

Stubblefield cited Civil 798.56(d) verbatim on the Judges working copy.


Judge Sachs took it one step further by interlineating the words or resident
into his cited text, effectively revising Civil 798.56(d) by judicial proclamation,
authorizing Stubblefield to evict residents directly, which contravened former
Panels conclusion on 5/6/13 that Stubblefield could not evict a resident directly
as he was not in privity of contract with the resident who was not a homeowner.
It subjected Shipley to the same type of eviction the Panel rescued her from last year.
B. JUDGE SACHS STEPPED OUT OF HIS ROLE AS INDEPENDENT ARBITER
INTO A NEW ROLL OF DE FACTO ADVOCATE FOR STUBBLEFIELD
Judge Sachs expanded the summary eviction remedies in Civil 798.56[d] to be
invoked not only against homeowners but also against non-homeowner residents.
Only a homeowners tenancy may be terminated under 798.56(d) for a rule violation.
Civil Code 798.56. Reasons for termination of tenancy;
written notice; cure of default
A tenancy shall be terminated by the management only
for one or more of the following reasons:

(d) Failure of the homeowner or resident to comply with


a reasonable rule or regulation of the park that is part of
the rental agreement or any amendment thereto.

Shipley is a resident but not a homeowner; there is no privity with Stubblefield.


Mobile Home Residency Law defines tenancy as only applying to the homeowner.
Civil Code 798.12. Tenancy
Tenancy is the right of a homeowner to the use of a site within a
mobilehome park on which to locate, maintain, and occupy a
mobilehome, site improvements, and accessory structures for human
habitation, including the usef the services and facilities of the park.

Civil 798.55 & 798.56 apply only to homeowners-not to non-owner residents.


Under 798.56[d] Stubblefield may not proceed directly against a resident who is not
a homeowner as there is no tenancy to terminate where there is no privity of contract.
15

Stubblefield cannot proceed directly against Shipley under Civil 798.56[d],


for the same reason former Panel held he could not proceed directly against Shipley
under any statute---because there is no privity between Stubblefield and Shipley.

CT 184 bottom
Judge Sachs ultra vires expansion of Civil 798.56[d] to be used against residents
violated not only his oath to be impartial, but also constitutional limits on his judicial
powers imposed by Article III, 3 and Article VI, 13 of Californias Constitution.
Judge Sachs had no power to transmute the loser into a winner by revising a statute for
his sole benefit. To guarantee entry of this gratuitous gift before Shipley could file
written objections Judge Sachs orchestrated the following Star Court Proceedings:
On 3/17/14-Judge Sachs made a bizarre journal entry: Files retained in department.
CT 71 top.

By retaining all case files in his own department---rather than returning

them to the public records department [available for daily public filings and review]
Judge Sachs gained exclusive control over which pleadings were accepted for filing and
entered into the online case docket. Stubblefield hired First Legal Support to deliver
the debauched judgment to Judge Sachs chambers ex parte. CT 223 [see logo on top].
Williamson could shift the blame for violating Rules 3.113, 3.1201 & Local Rule 591.3
from his firm to First Legal Support, who delivered a proposed judgment to chambers
ex parte on 3/20/14. Judge Sachs signed the order the same day---on 3/20/14. CT 223
Attorney Williamson knew if he tried to file a proposed final judgment in the
records department a clerk may have rejected it for failure to comply with Rules
3.113, 3.120 and Local Rule 591.3. McCarron did not see a proposed final judgment
---delivered ex parte on 3/20/14---until the next morning---Friday 3/21/14. It was
already too late as Judge Sachs entered the judgment when it was delivered to him.
Shipley was deprived of any opportunity to object before entry of her final judgment.

16

McCarron wrote objections and emailed them to Shipley to print out in Highland
and deliver by hand to Dept. S-33 that same dayFriday 3/21/14. Shipley was unable
to file objections at the public filing window as Judge Sachs maintained the files in
Department S-33 on 3/17/14. Shipley took her objections upstairs to Dept. S-33.
The S-33 clerk told Shipley she had to wait outside the courtroom while she checked
with Judge Sachs. The S-32 clerk returned to say she could not accept the objections
because Judge Sachs already signed/entered the order the day beforeon 3/20/14.
Shipley dropped her objections into the drop box in front of the Appellate Division
at 4:00 p.m. as the window closed at 3:00 p.m. Judge Sachs refusal to accept
objections only one day after a judgment arrived ex parte violated Rule 3.130(d).
Even if objections were late Judge Sachs was still required to accept them on 3/21/14.
(d) Filing of late papers No paper may be rejected for filing
on the ground that it was untimely submitted for filing. If the
court, in its discretion, refuses to consider a late filed paper,
the minutes or order must so indicate
Even if late, under LOCAL RULE 591.3 Judge Sachs was required to wait at least
ten (10) days before entering a judgment.

Sachs runs Star Court proceedings.

On Friday 3/21/14 McCarron printed the online case docket. There was no
journal entry reciting that a final judgment had been entered on 3/20/14.
On Monday, 3/24/14 there was still no evidence a judgment was entered on 3/20/14.
McCarron called Marsha Lenihan, Legal Processing Supervisor, at 4:00 p.m. to ask
why there was no journal entry by 3/24/14 for a judgment purportedly entered 4 days
earlier on 3/20/14. On 3/25/14 Marsha Lenihan called McCarron to notify her that
a journal entry would be made showing the judgment had been entered on 3/20/14.
As of 4/2/14 no camera image icon appeared online to download the final judgment.
On 4/2/14 Shipley drove over to court to obtain a copy of the 3/20/14 judgment.
A records clerk said she could not provide a copy because Judge Sachs was maintaining
the case files in Dept. S-33. CT 71- top. Shipley walked up to Dept S-33 to get a copy.
The S-33 clerk told Shipley to return to the records department to get the judgment.
17

Shipley told the S-33 clerk the records department had directed her to go up to S-33.
The S-33 clerk told Shipley to return the next day. On 4/3/14 when Shipley returned a
second time the S-33 clerk directed her to download the judgment from court online.
Shipley told the S-33 clerk there was no camera image icon to enable downloading
the judgment, which is why she had driven over to the court to obtain a hard copy.
The S-33 clerk told her to return the next day. On 4/4/14 Shipley returned a third time.
The S-33 clerk said she still did not have the final judgment and did not know how to
obtain a copy of it. After three trips to S-33 Shipley was unable to obtain a copy of a
final judgment as prevailing party. On 4/1/14 Stubblefield served Notice of Ruling
by mail. McCarron finally received the Notice of Ruling by mail service on 4/4/14.
This was fourteen [14] days after Judge Sachs had entered final judgment. CT 242
C. Court Had No Power to Grant Declaratory Relief to Stubblefield in Final Judgment
Under CCP 580 a court may not grant declaratory relief in a limited jurisdiction case,
except as recited in CCP 86. When an appellate court directs judgment on the merits
for the defendant a court has no power to grant any relief to a losing plaintiff, especially
where plaintiff did not even request such relief in his complaint. Plaintiff never prayed
for the trial court or former Panel to interpret Civil 798.56[d] or grant declaratory relief.
Expanding a remedial statute by judicial proclamation, to be used against non-owner
residents, where express language circumscribes the remedy to homeowners only,
exceeded constitutional limits on judicial powers imposed by Article III, Section 3.
Revising statutes may only be done through legislation. Judge Sachs ultra vires act
was prohibited under CCP 580 as well as Article III, 3. This ultra vires act of vacating
a prior order after jurisdiction to vacate it had expired three months earlier, violated
CCP 663a(b) and Article VI,13. There was no miscarriage of justice in entry of
summary judgment for Shipley on 10/21/13, after former Panels mandate to do so.
Shipley fought like a gladiator through 2 years of scorched earth litigation to thwart an
illegal eviction. Judge Sachs deprived her of victory by authorizing her direct eviction.
It was a miscarriage of justice to Shipley and 675,000 residents now subject to eviction.

Chronological Summary of Judge Sachs serial violations:

1. 2/10/14 Violation of CRC 3.1312 (prevailing party to prepare her judgment)


Judge Sachs refused to sign a judgment prevailing party submitted at the hearing.
Judge Sachs invited non-prevailing partys attorney to prepare the final judgment.
2. 2/19/14 Violation of Civil 663(b) (power to vacate judgment expired in 60 days)
McCarron objected to revisiting a summary judgment order entered on 10/21/13.
McCarron told Judge Sachs jurisdiction to vacate the order expired months ago.
3. 2/19/14 Violation of CRC 3.1103; 3.112; 3.1113. CCP 1005 (no motion notice
with basis for relief or Points & Authorities was filed as required) CCP 1005
4. 2/19/14 Violation of CRC 3.1312 (prevailing party to prepare judgments)
Minute Order recited Counsel for Plaintiff to Prepare Judgment
5. 3/17/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to apply the law-violation of due process
Judge Sachs thwarted McCarron from reciting objections on a transcript record,
depriving Shipley of an opportunity to be heard and an opportunity to object.
Disparate treatment-calling counsel maam instead of by her name or counsel.
6. 3/17/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to Apply the law- violation of due process
Judge Sachs actively advocated for Stubblefield by distorting prior findings of
two courts and allowing Stubblefield to paraphrase findings to alter its import.
7. 3/17/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to Apply the law- violation of due process
Judge Sachs advocated for Stubblefield by inserting the words or resident into
his judge notes, and then giving the notes to Stubblefields counsel for insertion
into the final judgment (a contrivance even Stubblefield didnt think of doing).
This violated Shipleys right to due process under federal and state constitutions.
The deck is stacked against a party where the Judge is the opponents advocate.

19

8. 3/17/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to Apply the law- violation of due process
Judge Sachs made a bizarre journal entry files retained in department which
enabled him to exercise exclusive control over which documents would be filed
or rejected. Judge Sachs then refused to accept the objections Shipley tried to file
on 3/21/14only one day after Stubblefield submitted a debauched judgment
ex parte to chambers on 3/20/14. This deprived Shipley of opportunity to object.
9. 3/20/14 Violated Local Rule 591.3 (no entry of judgment for 10 days)
Rule 591.3 was amended on 1/1/13 to afford opposing parties a chance to object
Stubblefield hired Legal Support Services to hand deliver a paraphrased final
judgment directly to chambers ex parte on 3/20/14, without first serving the
proposed judgment to opposing counsel, who represented prevailing party.
Judge Sachs signed the judgment the same day it was delivered [on 3/20/14]
without waiting even one day to afford Shipley an opportunity to object to form.
10. 3/21/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to Apply the law- violation of due process
Judge Sachs prevented Shipley from obtaining the judgment entered 3/20/14.
Shipley appeared 3 consecutive days to try to get it. [3/21/14, 3/24/14, 3/25/14]
because his clerk had not scanned it to the online docket. Each time she appeared
in Dept. S-33 for a copy of the judgment she was told to return the following day.
Shipley was never able to obtain a copy of the judgment despite three attempts.

This was not one isolated incident or a few inadvertent mistakes. The 10 incidents
above displays a serial pattern of intentional violations of Codes of Civil Procedure,
Rules of Court, Statutes of Limitations, Local Rules, and the Judicial Code of Ethics.
By inserting the words or resident Judge Sachs paved the way for park owners to
evict residents directly on 5 days notice, instead of proceeding against homeowners,
who can invoke statutory protections against arbitrary evictions under Civil 798.55.

20

CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, Shipley prays for Presiding Panel to direct Judge Sachs
to vacate the final judgment entered on 3/20/14, reinstate a summary judgment order
Judge Alvarez entered on 10/21/13, and enter the final judgment on the merits for
defendant--which prevailing party Shipley submitted on 3/4/14 as shown at CT 209.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
Appellant Shipley prays for the Presiding Panel to order the following:

1. Direct Judge Michael A. Sachs to vacate a final judgment entered on 3/20/14,

2. Direct Judge Michael A. Sachs to enter Judgment on the merits as submitted by
Shipley, as the prevailing party, on 3/4/14 as shown at CT 209, with all costs and

3. Direct Judge Michael A. Sachs to award appellant attorney fees as costs, as the

prevailing party in all proceedings below, including all writ proceedings, in an


amount to be determined by separate motion, and as costs and fees on this appeal.
4. Direct Judge Michael A. Sachs to recuse himself and transfer the case files to

MOTION TO AUGMENT RECORD [RULE 8.841]


Appellant Bonnie Shipley moves the Presiding Panel, under Appellate Rule 8.841,
to augment the record with two documents Judge Sachs prevented her from filing.
Exhibit 1 Objections to Second [Proposed Order] Rewriting a Prior Judges Order
Without Jurisdiction and Rewriting an Appellate Order in Contempt of that Courts
Order; Notice of Intent to Appeal Illegal Order and Hold Michael Sachs in Contempt
of an Appellate Divisions Writ of Mandate; Objections to Sachs Acting as Advocate
for Plaintiff and Request for Recusal - Dept S-33 Clerk Refused to file it on 3/17/14.
As shown below in the official transcript of a hearing on the judgment on 3/17/14
McCarron asked Judge Sachs to file the proposed final judgment because she knew
Stubblefield would paraphrase holdings and corrupt the final judgment. [RT 60:25]:

Ms. McCARRON: Why Cant I file it, you Honor? He


is going to paraphrase again.

RT 60:25-26

THE COURT: It is his motion, it is his work I am


working off of and I am assuming counsel will do what I have
asked him to do. In fact, I am happy to give him my notes,
you can make a copy and both of you can share it.
RT 61:1-4
THE BAILIFF: Your honor, did you want me to make
copies?
THE COURT: The record should reflect that I have
handed to Mari, my courtroom attendant, my worked up order
that she is going to make copies for everybody.
RT 63:11-15

The bailiff gave both counsel a copy of the Judges worked up order on 3/17/14.
This is pages 11, 12, 13 of Exhibit 1 attached herein. McCarron was shocked to
discover Judge Sachs interlineated the words or resident into the proposed text:

Exh. 1, p. 12
Three days later, on 3/20/14 rather than serve McCarron with the newly typed up
judgment, as required by Rule 3.1312, Stubblefield delivered it to chambers ex parte.
McCarron did not receive it until 3/21/14 at which time she wrote objections, emailed
them to Shipley to hand deliver. Dept. S-33 refused to accept them for filing as late.
22

Dept. S-33 clerk said objections were late because judgment had been entered.
Even if late, this nonetheless violated Rule 3.130(d) which required a clerk to accept
a late filing, mark it late, and recite in the Minute Order a remark about a late filing.
This was not done. The S-33 clerk refused to accept the objections for filing in court.
Shipley then dropped her objections [Exhibit 1] into the Appellate Divisions outside
box drop at 4:00 p.m. because the filing window at that court had closed at 3:00 p.m.
An Appellate Division clerk confirmed that she has the original objections in this case.
Shipley included the objections in her Designation of Record, but the clerk could not
locate a copy of the Objections to insert into the Clerks Transcript from the trial court.
Judge Sachs also violated Local Rule 591.3 by not waiting 10 days to enter judgment,
to afford Shipley an opportunity to object to the form of it. Instead, the court signed and
entered judgment as soon as it was delivered ex parte to his chambers before she saw it.
Judge Sachs deprived Shipley of opportunity to object and refused to accept objections.
To comport with equity under the circumstances the Panel should augment the record to
include these objections. Exhibit 1, p.12 shows Judge Sachs acted as an advocate for
Stubblefield by inserting new language into the judgment, which authorized him to evict
Shipley directly---the remedy sought when he first served a sham complaint on 8/27/14.
EXHIBIT 2 - May 9, 2014 Letter to RESIDENTS from Stubblefields Park Manager
Exhibit is a 5-page exhibit containing a Letter to RESIDENTS served on Shipley.
The parks letter threatens to use Civil Code 798.56(d) to evict RESIDENTS directly.
McCarron wanted to let Judge Sachs know Stubblefield was already capitalizing on his
gratuitous gift---interlineating or residents to authorize evicting RESIDENT directly.
On June 23, 2014 at a hearing on a motion to expunge lis pendens McCarron tried to
offer the letter to the Bailiff to give Judge Sachs so he would understand the trouble he
caused by authorizing Stubblefield to use Civil 798.56(d) to evict residents directly.
Judge Sachs refused to look at the letter, stating that the matter was not before him.
In oral & written objections McCarron predicted the harm from a debauched judgment.
RT 46:22, 51:24, 53:22, 60:25. Judge Sachs knew it would be used to evict residents.
23

To comport with equity under these circumstances the Panel should augment the
record to include Exhibit 2 because it is a highly relevant document on this appeal.
It proves that McCarron was correct in predicting the potential damage that would flow

from Judge Sach's order allowing Stubblefield to compose a final judgment'on merits.
Exhibit 2 shows Stubblefield l l l y intended to capitalize on the unfair advantage Judge
Sachs donated in authorizing him to compose the final judgment instead of Shipley.
Judge Sachs' blatant violations of the Code of Judicial Ethics should not be condoned.
Judge Sachs intentionally gave Stubblefield a new tool to filch even more mobile homes
fiom elderly, sick, and disabled residents who will be rendered homeless after evictions.
..
Stubblefield will add several more free mobilehomes to his monthly rental portfolio,

expanding wealth exponentially on the backs of poor, elderly and disabled residents.
For the above reasons, Shipley respectfully asks the Panel to augment the appellate
record with Exhibits 1and 2, which are numbered consecutively and attached herein.

cting as Advocate in Violation of Judicial Ethics

Defendant objects to this court's acting as an advocate for plaintiff and demands that Michael
Sachs voluntarily recuse himself for violations of Code of .ludicial Ethics as set forth below:
CODE OF JUDICIAL ETHICS PREAMBLE
Our legal system is based on the principle that an independent, fair, and competent judiciary will
interpret and apply the laws that govern us. The rolc of the judiciary is central to American concepts of
justice and the mle of law. Intrinsic to this code are the precepts that judges, individually and collective1
must respect and honor the judicial office as a public trust and strive to enhance and maintain confident
in our leeal system. The judge is an arbiter of facts and law for the resolution of disputes and a highly
visible member of government under the rule of law.
A. Promoting Public Confidence
A judge shall respect and comply with the law* and shall act at all times in a manner that promotes
public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judicia~y.
- 1 -

..............................................................

Objections to Second[Proposedl Order Vacating Denial of Sumnlary Judgment and Judgment for Defendant

The test for the appearance of impropriety is whether a person aware of the facts might reasonably
ntertain a doubt that the judge would be able to act with integrity, impartiality, and competence.
Canon 2. A judge shall avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all of the judge's
ctivities. "Impropriety" includes conduct that violates the law. court rules. or provisions of this code,
nd conduct that undermines a judge's independence, inteaitv. or impartialitv.
ADVISORY COMMITTEE COMMENTARY
Public confidence in the judiciary is eroded by irresponsible or improper conduct by judges.
PECIFIC ACTS IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW, COURT RULES, AND IMPROPER CONDUCT:
.)On 5/6/13 the Appellate Division entered its order directing Judge Alvarez in S-32 to vacate his deni,
of defendant's summary judgment motion, and enter a new order granting it and enter a final judgme
on the merits for Shipley with costs. On 10121113 Judge Alvarez entered the order vacating his denia
of summary judgment and entered a new order granting it to Shipley, but never entered a judgment o
the merits for Shipley with costs as proposed by Shipley. Judge Alvarez wanted to enter the orders
separately but never entered the judgment although submitted to him. At-r
.)Shipley filed her motion for statutory attomey fees on 5129113 set for 7/2/13, which he continued to
7122113, then to 10121113, then to 1/7/14, then to 2110114; because the case was transferred to Michae
Sachs in S-33 after Judge Alvarez recused himself upon Shipley's request.
.)At the first hearing on 2110114 for defendant's motion for statutory attomey fees, counsel for Shipley
McCarron bought the judgment to be entered for Shipley exactly as written by the appellate division,
verbatim, the last two sentences of their order. McCarron asked Judge Sachs to enter the judgment or
the merits so her attorney fee motion could be concluded. Judge Sachs had both McCarron's order ar
Stubblefield's order which McCarron objected to because it paraphrased both the trial court and the
appellate court's findings and completely changed the import of the order to benefit Stubblefield. [%:
.) Judge Sachs then invited Stubbelfield's counsel to propose a new order. McCarron objected a:

the usual practice is for the prevailing party to compose the order---not the losing party---for exactly
reason she stated-the

loser will rewrite the order to benefit himself.

.) Judge Sachs also announced sua sponte that he would re-write Judge Alvarez' 10-21-13 order

There was absolutely no jurisdiction to rewrite another court's order entered 4 months ago.
There was not even a motion to vacate that order pending o r ever filed or served by plaintiff.

- 2 ...--~-~.-----.~---~..--~...--~....~...~~...-

Objections to SecondIProposedl Order Vacating Denial of Summary Judgment and Judgment for Defendant

I.) McCarron objected to such unorthodox procedures; i.e. letting the loser make up an order re-writing

another Judge's prior order which changed the entire findings and import of the order, as well as
parphrasing the appellate court's order. See Objections attached here as Exhibit B.

'. Despite McCarron's objections Michael Sachs scheduled another hearing letting plaintiff propose ne

hybrid" order as he called it. See his minute orders attached as Exh. A3-A6 Michael Sachs then
ontinued it for another hearing on 3/17/13.

I. On 3/17/14 Judge Sachs authohzed all the paraphrasing to completely change the import of both the

rial court's order and the appellate divisions order. Judge Sachs then dismissed the hearing stating he
vould give counsel a copy of his notes for the "final order."
I.

McCarron was shocked that he actually acted as an advocate for Stubblefield by interjecting the wori

or resident" after homeowner on page 2---basically authorizing Stubblefield to "proceed against the

m,
Shipley under Civil Code section 798.56(d) which is an action which can only be taken agains
lomeowner---not a resident! This is not what the appellate division wrote in its order.

l,?

0. This language was never discussed at the hearing or McCarron would have vehemently objected.
nstead it was gratuitously given as a gift by sneaking the words into his "notes" given to us.
If course, Stubblefield jumped right on it and inserted them into what will be the ORDER.
rhis gratuitous gift was beyond the pale. Judge Sachs has stepped into the role of advocate for
Stubblefield and must disqualify himself as his bias is clearly demonstrated.

Dear Resident:

We may now be in a position to better focus on the issues of speedinnand coming to a full stop at stop s i ~ n s
within our commbnitv.
A potential progrem may be within our grasp and if so it is entirely due to the efforts of your HOA Board of
Directors and an hnselfish group of 9 community minded residents. This group has come together under the
name of the "TRAFFICSAFETY COMMITTEE". In order to implement the program it will require the
cooperation of every resident within the community as well as a commitment from your Park Management.
I

We, the Park Mahagement, are committed to the following:

1. ~ o d i f tde
y speed bumps where needed.
2. Agree t o Pestripe all streets and walkways not less than every two years and not more than three
years.
3. Continue t o enforce all traffic rules within our community equally and fairly, BUT MORE
VIGOROUSLY.
4. tontinud t o treat all offenders impartially, promptly and equally.
Management has committed to the above provided the residents are willing to accept their responsibility for
good safe drlving habits within the community. That consists of the resident and guest commitment to the
following:

1. Not t o ekceed the 15 MPH maximum speed limit


2. Full andcomplete stop at all stop signs and intersections whether marked or not.
3. ~ ot ot pass the vehicle i n front of you unless it comes t o a full stop.
4. To diligently comply with a l l aspects o f the traffic guidelines within our community.

In order t o accdmplish this goal it will be necessarv t o have 100% cooperation from each resident and,the
attached ~ckndwledgementp
~
O
R
n
e
d
c by Junee13,2014.
If we can all wqrk together on this program we commit t o you to modify the speed bumps where needed, and
continue t o enforce the traffic rules within our community, which we have all previously agreed to in writing.

This will go a ldng way in heipingto continue maintaining a very happy and safe community with an extra eye
out for our more senior residents that enjoy walking and bike riding.

~ of
l ithe above is very achievable, and will require an effort on the part of gacJ
sign and return the Acknowledgement page.

Dear ~esident:
I

We can d l agree that Mountain Shadows is a great place to live. Even when living
in lovely places there can be initating issues. One of those issues that has
challeng d RESIDENTS and MAhTAGEMENTfor a long time is the matter of
enforcedent of our traffic regulations.

In an effort to solve the problem, additional speed bumps were installed in many
places d t h i n the park. Unfortunately, most of us have found that this "solution"
has not been as effective as we hoped, and may have caused d i s ~ p t i o nand even
hardship to some of our residents. In response to our pleas for relief, management
has asked the home owners to come up with a plan to address the problem, while
still achieving the main goal, "Traffic Safety". Our committee has been meeting,
and is r&ommending the following plan.
This letter is the first part of our plan. We know that the majority of our residents
are anxious to make our park a very safe place to live, and this includes residents
stopping at all stop signs and driving within the speed limit. We commend them for
this cooperation. However, there is an entrenched minority that for whatever
reasons, habitually ignore these safety requirements. There is also a small group of
delivery people, sub-contractors, outside guests and even children of some of our
residents. This letter is a special appeal to those people to live within the
restrictions that make our park such a nice place to live. If this earnest appeal goes
unheeyd, we must find other ways to reach the offenders with methods that will
meet our goals.
In support of this objective, we would encourage all residents who witness obvious
violatibns, to report them to the park office. Emphasis should be on license
numb&, type and color of vehicle and the date, time and location the violation
occun'ed.
We assume that some of the offenses are inadvertent and we may not be aware we
are speeding. Our first action would be a documented verbal warning. The ncxt
step would be to send the first written notice, then a second, followed by a final

notice. he final notice states that continuance of non-compliance may result in a


review o residency status in Mountain Shadows.

~alifomiaCivil Code provides for this remedy. It states in Article 6, Section


798.56 ...1'A tenancy shall be terminated by the management for one or more of the
followink reasons... (d)Failure of the homeowner or resident to comply with a
reasonable lule or regulation of the park that is part of the rental agreement or any
amendmknt thereto." Further, the Memorandum of Understanding dated March 1,
2010, ~ektion7(A) (1) describes the consequences of Non-compliance with
commudity Guidelines.
Management has agreed to enforce Section 11B of the Community Guidelines
dated Mhrch 1,2010. The Guidelines clearly state that residents and resident's
guests must obey all posted traffic control signs. This includes coming to a full
and complete stop at all stop signs. This is for the good of our community as a
whole. Management has assured us that if we are successful in obtaining
compliance with the traffic regulations they will adjust or lower the most offensive
speed bumps. Please work with us to achieve this goal.

NATURE OF PROCEEDINGS: Appellant's Motion to Augment Record on Appeal
-

-----

-----

--- - .-

.---

In a motion filed with this court on September 8, 2014, appellant seeks to augment the record on
appeal with Wo documents.
AtI
any
] time, on motion of a
California Rules of Court, rule 8.841 provides, in pertinent part: "[
party or its own motion, the appellate division may order the record augmented to include: [TI (A) Any
document filed or lodged in the case in the trial court; . .."
The record may only be augmented by matters that were before the superior court. The
augmentation procedure cannot be used to bring up matters outside the trial court record. (Vons
Companies, Inc. v. Seabest Foods, Inc. (1996) 14 Cal.4th 434, 444, fn. 3.)
The documents with which appellant seeks to augment the record were not before the trial court
and are therefore matters outside the trial court record.
The motion is DENIED.

Properties, a California General Partnership, dba Mountain Shadows


Mobilehome Community (hereinafter "Stubblefield") sewed appellant
Bonnie Shipley with a 5-Day Notice to surrender Possession. The notice

The following facts are taken from the clerk's' Transcript, including the Opinion issued by the
Appellate Division on May 6, 2013, granting appellant's petition for writ of mandate, which can be
found at pages 177-187.

was based upon Civil Code section 798.75, subdivision (c), "for failure to
move into the mobilehome without being approved as a sublessee or any
other capacity." The notice also stated that "this is a violation of the Rules
and Regulations of the mobilehome park."
On August 27, 2012, Stubblefield filed a complaint for forcible
detainer (Code Civ. Proc., 1160) naming appellant as the sole defendant.
The complaint alleges that Stubblefield is the owner of the premises
commonly known as 4040 E. Piedmont Drive, Space 333, ~ i g h l a n d , ' ~ ~
92346. The complaint also alleges that prior to service of the Notice to
Surrender, appellant had, without Stubblefield's consent or approval,
without signing a rental agreement, and without beconling the registered
owner of the mobilehome situated at the premises, entered into
possession of the premises. The complaint further alleges that appellant
has continued to hold and keep possession of the premises by force and in

violation of Civil Code sectian 798.75 by failing to surrender the premises


to Stubblefield. The complaint prays for possession of the premises, for
damages at $30.01 per day (reasonable rental value of space 3331, and for
,

attorney's fees.
On January 23, 2013, appellant filed a motion for summary
judgment. On February 14, 2013, the trial c o ~ ~denied
rt
appellant's motion
for summary judgment. The court also denied Stubblefield's motion for
summary judgment, which was heard on the same day.

On February 27, 2013, appellant filed a petition for writ of mandate


requesting that the Appellate Division issue an order directing the trial

court to set aside its order denying appellant's motion for summary
judgment and to enter a new order granting the motion.
On May 6, 2013, a former panel of this Appellate Division granted
appellant's petition and issued a writ of mandate directing the trial court to
vacate its order denying appellant's motion for summary judgment, and to
enter a new and different order granting the summary judgment motion.
Subsequently, Stubblefield filed a petition for writ of mandate in the
Court of Appeal, District Four, Division Two. On July 19, 2013, the Court
of Appeal summarily denied the petition.'
On July 22, 2013, appellant filed a document entitled, "Request for
Immediate Recusal of Judge Alvarez Before Ruling on any Pending
Motions in this case Due to Presumed Bias Upon Reversal of his Ruling
Denying Shipley's MSJ which was reversed on appeal."3
On or about August 5, 2013, Stubblefield filed a Retition for review in
the California Supreme

On August 14, 2013, the Supreme Court

summarily denied re vie^.^


-

---

CT 88
CT 90-1. Appellant's request for immediate recusal is based upon Code of Civil Procedure
section 170.1, subdivision (c), which states: "At the request of a party or on its own motion an
appellate courf shall consider whether in the interests of justice it should direct that further
proceedings be heard before a trial judge other than the judge whose judgment or order was
reviewed by the appellate court." (Italics provided ) Thus, appellant's request for recusal appears
to have been based upon an inapplicable statute, as it was presented directly to the trial court.

On October 21, 2013, the trial court vacated its prior order denying
appellant's motion for summary judgment, and entered a new and different
order granting the summary judgment motion of appellant. The court also
ordered appellant to prepare and submit a proposed order and judgment.
The court set a hearing date of January 7, 2014, to hear appellant's motion
for attorney's fees, and requested that appellant submit the proposed order
and judgment by that date.6

Defendant." The judgment was signed by the court on the'same date it


was filed.I2 On April 2, 2014, Stubblefield filed a notice of entry of the

This appeal follows.

DISCUSSION
Preliminarily, we note appellant's brief contains several references to
facts and documents that do not appear in the record on appeal in this
forcible detainer matter. We therefore must disregard them in evaluating

this appeal.

(Kohler v. Interstate Btands Corp. (2002) 103 Cal.App.4th

1096, 1102.)'~

This appeal concerns the final judgment and the trial court
proceedings leading up to the preparation, signing, filing and entry of the
judgment, after the issuance of a writ of mandate by a former panel of this
Appellate Division.
Appellate Division's May 6,2013 Writ of Mandate Opinion

In its May 6, 2013 opinion, a former panel of this Appellate Division


determined that Stubblefield's attempt to evict appellant, who is a
subtenant of the owner of the mobilehome in question, was not authorized
by Civil Code section 798.75.15 The Appellate Division found that "As a

l4 Included in appel!anils opening brief is a motion to augment the record. We previously denied
appellant's motion to augment the record on the ground the documents sought to be included
were not filed with the court and/or are not part of the trial court's file.
l5 Civil Code section 798.75, entitled "Sale or Transfer of Mobilehome Located in Park--Rental
Agreement, Purchaser's Rights of Tenancy; Unlawful Occupant," states:
(a) An escrow, sale, or transfer agreement involving a mobilehome located in a park at the
time of the sale, where the mobilehome is to remain in the park, shall contam a copy of either a
fully executed rental agreement or a statement signed by the park's management and the
prospective homeowner that the parties have agreed to the terms and conditions of a rental
agreement.

(b) In the event the purchaser fails lo execute the rental agreement, the purchaser shall not
have any rights of tenancy.

'

(c) In the event that an occupant of a mobilehome has'no rights of tenancy and is not
othenvise entitled to occupy the mobibhorne pursuant to this chapter, the occupant is considered
an unlawful occupant if, after a demand is made for the surrender of fhe mobilehome park site, for
a period of five days, the occupant refuses to surrender the site to the mobilehome park
management. In the event the unlawful occupant fails to comply with the demand, the unlawful
occupant shall be subject to the proceedings set forth in Chapter 4 (commencing with Section
1159) of Title 3 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(d) The occupant of the mobilehome shall not be considered an unlawful occupant and shall
not be subject to the provisrons of subdivision (c) if ail of the following conditions are present:
(1) The occupant is the registered owner of the mobile home.

sublessee of a mobilehome owner, (appellant] does not fall within.the definition of


an 'unlawful occupant."' The court further found that "Although Civil Code section

798.75 does not authorize Stubblefield to evict Petitioner, Stubblefield is not

without a remedy under the Mobilehome Residency Law," and that Stubblef~ld's
remedy under the Mobilehome Residency Law is to proceed against the
homeowner in accordance with Civil Code section 798.56, subdivision (d) for
'failure of the homeowner or resident to comply with a reasonable rule or
l
or any amendment
regulation of ihe park that is part of the r e ~ t aagreement
thereto.'" The Appellate Division concluded,that "The trial court misinterpreted
Civil Code section 798.75. This statute applies only to a purchaser or transferee
of a mobilehome unit that occupies the park's space without first executing a
written lease agreement with the park. Petitioner is not a purchaser or transferee
of the subject mobilehome. Therefore, the 5-Day Notice to Surrender is invalid
because it is based upon an inapplicable statute.

As such, the eviction of

Petitioner by Stubblefield under Civil Code section 798.75 is not authorized."16


The Appellate Division granted appellant's petition and issued a writ of mandate
directing the trial court to vacate its order denying appellanfs motion for
summary judgment and to enter a new order granting appellant's motion for
summary judgment."
I

(2) The management has determined that the occupant has the financial ability to pay the rent
and charges of the park; wilt comply with the rules and regulations of the park, based on the
occupant's prior tenancies; and will comply with this article.

(3) The management failed or refused to offer the occupant a rental agreement.

Issues on Appeal
In her

opening

brief, appellant

lists

numerous procedural

irregularities and claimed errors in the case under review, making it difficult
to ascertain the precise issues she is raising in her appeal. We discern
three issues from our review of appellant's opening brief. First, appellant
contends the trial court erred by allowing Stubblefield, the non-prevailing
party, to prepare the proposed judgment. Second, appellant contends the
trial court erred by signing the proposed judgment prepared by Stubblefield
without affording appellant the opportunity to file objections to the
judgment. Third, appellant contends the trial court erred by permitting the
words "or resident" to be inserted into its final judgment, effectively revising
a statute "by judicial proclamation" and "transmuting prevailing party's
judgment into a victory for the non-prevailing party."'8
Preparation of Proposed Judgment by Respondent

Appellant asserts the trial court violated rule 3.1312 of the California
Rules of Court by permitting Stubblefield, the non-prevailing party, to
prepare the judgment.
I

California' Rules of Court, rule 3.1312 provides, in pertinent part:


"Unless the parties waive notice or the court orders otherwise, the party
prevailing on any motion must, within five days of the ruling, serve by any
means authorized by law and reasonably calculated to ensure delivery to

the other party or parties no later than the close of the next business day a
proposed order for approval as conforming to the court's order. Within five
days after service, the other party or parties must notify the prevailing party
as to whether or not the proposed order is so approved. The opposing
party or parties must state any reason for disapproval. Failure to notify the
preva'iling party within the time required shall be deemed an approval. ...

[m

The prevailing party must, upon expiration of the five-day period

provided for approval, promptly transmit the proposed order to the court
together with a summary of any responses of the other parties or a
statement that no responses were received." (Cal. Rules of Court, rille
3.1312(a), (b).)
We agree with appellant that Rule 3.1312 provides for the
preparation and submission of the proposed judgment by the prevailing
party, and that the court should have permitted appellant to prepare and
submit the proposed judgment.

Nevertheless, we find any error was

harmless, did not result in prejudice, and of no effect on the judgment.


Local Rule 591.3 and Insertion of "or resident" in Judgment

Appellant asserts the trial court erred by failing to wait 10 days prior
to signing the proposed judgment submitted by Stubblefield.
San Bernardino Superior Court Local Rule 591.3 states: "Counsel
must prepare, serve, and present to the Court forms for all orders and
judgments, which require the Court's signature.

If no objection is

forthcoming within ten days, the order or judgment may be signed as


presented. ..."
At the hearing on March 17,2014, the court reviewed the changes to
the proposed judgment from the court's notes.

Specifically, the court

stated, "So again, the court's requesting that Defendant was not a
purchaser or transferee of the subject mobile home period, and then we
are going to line out lines 10, 11, and midway through line 12. And so the
next sentence starts, and this is where the next change is, is Plaintiff may
proceed directly against the homeowner or resident under Civil Code
Section798.56." Defense counsel responded: "Okay. What about the first
three sentences where they paraphrased it and they added the word such
as ~efendant?"'~
On appeal, appellant contends the court improperly included the
phrase "or resident" at page 2, line 10 of the judgment. Appellant argues
that "By inserting the words 'or resident' Judge Sachs paved the way for
park owners to evict residents directly on 5 days' notice, instead of
proceeding against homeowners, who can invoke statutory protections
I

against arbitrary evictions under Civil ~ 7 9 8 . 5 5 . " ~ ~


We agree with appellant that the inclusion of the words "or resident"
is a misstatement of Civil Code section 798.56 and changes the meaning

and effect of the statute. Section 798.56 provides the permissible reasons
for the terrr~inationof a "tenancy" at a mobilehome park, including "failure
of a homeowner or resident to comply with a reasonable rule or regulation
of the park that is part of the rental agreement or any amendment thereto."
(Civ. Code, 798.56, subd. (d).) Section 798.56 does not state that a park
owner may evict a resident directly.

Rather, it provides that a

homeowner's tenancy2' may be terminated if the homeowner or resident


fails to comply with park rules.
Here, the trial court signed the proposed final judgment on March
20, 2014, the very same day the judgment was submitted by Stubblefield.
Appellant was not afforded the opportunity to submit any objections to the
proposed judgment. We find the court erred by failing to wait the requisite
10 days, to permit appellant to file any objections, before signing the
proposed judgment. Nevertheless, we find the error to be harmless.
Because the insertion of the words "or resident" in the final judgment
was erroneous, we will modify the judgment to delete those words from the
final judgment.
Respondent's Request for Dismissal

Stubblefield urges this reviewing court to dismiss the appeal for


appellant's failure to comply with appellate rules-namely,

*'

appellant's

Civil Code section 798.12 provides: "Tenancy" is the right of a homeowner to the use of a site
within a mobilehome park on which to locate, maintain, and occupy a mobilehome, site
improvements, and accessory structures for human habitation, including the use of the services
and facilities of the park.

failure to cite matters in the appellate record to support her arguments,


appellant's repeated and unwarranted personal attacks on the court,
Stubblefield and its counsel, and failure to comply with formatting rr-~lesset
forth in the California Rules of Court.
We will disregard any noncompliance and decline to dismiss the
appeal.

However, we admonish appellant and appellant's counsel to

refrain from making personal attacks on the trial court. "Disparaging the
trial judge is a tactic that is not taken lightly by a reviewing court. Counsel
better make sure he or she has the facts right before venturing into such
dangerous territory because it is contemptuous for an attorney to make 'the
unsupported assertion that the judge was 'act[ing] out of bias toward a
party."' (In re S.C. (2006) 138 Cal.App.4th 396, 422; citing in re White
(2004) 121 Cal.App.4th 1453, 1478.)

The case is remanded to the trial court with directions to modify the
judgment by deleting the words "or resident" from page 2, linelo, o f the
judgment. In in all other respects, the judgment is affirmed. The parties to
bear their own costs on appeal.

Saturday (8/30/14-12 noon) she had similar surge, but no bang; her air conditioning unit popped off, then on.
20 minutes later she exited home to go out to patio and heard a crackling noise, looked out window and saw fire
at McCarron/Shipleys home, in the electrical pedestal and plastic fence, and vegetation in front of the pedestal.
Durr called 911 to report fire at 1:14 pm. Durr took her fire extinguisher over to the fire area and joined Jerome
Poland who had run across the street when he saw fire. Durr gave Poland the hose; she extinguished the fire at
the electric pedestal with fire extinguisher. Poland extinguished the fire at base of palm trees with a water hose.
Durr said it took 22 minutes for a fire engine to arrive (from less than 1 mile away); fire was already out by then
Durr said the fire department staff interviewed her about what happened. Durr said So. Cal Edison rep returned
to the fire site the next day to examine the pedestal and restore her electric service. SoCal rep said he saw
damage a bus-bar within the electric pedestal and he had documented same in his report. Durr said he also found
a ball of metal down in the hole, underneath the pedestal, where the electrical wires come up from the ground.
After the fire department departed Wendy Durr called Nancy McCarron to notify her of the fire & above events.
IT WAS INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE THE FIRE STARTED ON INSIDE OF ELECTRIC PEDESTAL.

8/30/14 NFIRS-Basic Internal Fire Report on space #333 at 4040 E. Piedmont Dr. Highland, CA
shows 911 call: 1314 (1:14 pm); page 2 shows Brian Crowell left section K1, K2 blank (witnesses)
[in a later 10/7/14 report (pg. 35) Brian Crowell admits there were 2 witnesses at scene when he arrived]
Crowell whitewashed: resident not home called in by next door neighbor extinguished by bystander
possibly damaged inside wiring..unknown cause of fire..possibly electrical in nature..electrical box taped off
Crowell taped off the box with hundreds of feet of electrical tape wrapped around several times so that no one
could look inside the box which revealed exactly how the fire started. Crowell did not know Wendy had taken
a picture of the inside of the box before he arrived---evidence of the real origin of the fire (see pic @ page 20)
Crowell intentionally failed to document 2 witnesses (Wendy Durr & Jerome Poland) to suppress real evidence.
9/02/14 McCarron called Steve Tracy to ask for investigation. Because she had already heard Stubblefield
owned local fire department bosses and bribes them to alter reports and bury complaints about fire hazards,
and because she did not trust Steve Tracy, she asked him to tape record her report so he could not lie about her.
Tracy said to call back on an alternate number so her interview would be tape-recorded. City now refuses to
give McCarron a copy of her recorded report. During their recorded interview she told Tracy everything Wendy
had told her on 8/30/14. Tracy knew on 9/2/14 the fire started in the pedestal and spread to the palm trees
after starting in pedestal. McCarron told Tracy pedestals were 50 years old and that she suspected sabotage by
Stubblefield as the park controls pedestals and resident/tenants have no access to the pedestals which are locked.
McCarron told Tracy that Stubblefield tried to evict her co-resident in a vitriolic litigation lasting for two years,
and because he had lost the 2-year battle he had a motive to burn her out of the park after losing his appeal.
Secondly, maintenance staff told McCarron manager Tom Parrish ordered them not to replace a pedestal at 333.
Parrish told staff to stay out of it and let McCarron replace the pedestal and gas meter to restore her utilities.
McCarron called Hanna Noreiga (assistant park manager) on 9/2/14 to request immediate restoration of utilities.
Noreiga told McCarron it was not the parks job to replace the pedestal and gas meter and told McCarron she
had to contact her homeowners insurance carrier to get them to replace utilities. Clearly Stubblefield and his
racketeers intended to drive Shipley and McCarron out of the park as it was impossible to live without utilities.
Despite knowing the origin of the fire, and history of vitriolic 2-year litigation relayed during a taped interview
which Tracy promised to keep confidential, Tracy betrayed a victim by meeting with Stubblefields manager,
Tom Parrish & his lawyer to conspire how they would falsify reports to create a pretext Shipley caused the fire.
The evidence below shows exactly how these corrupt fire investigators participated in a racketeering enterprise.

6-10 9/2/14 After McCarrons recorded interview with Steve Tracy, in which she told him all of the details
Wendy Durr had told her on 8/30/14 (the day of the fire), including the origin of the fire in the pedestal, and in
which she gave Tracy Wendy Durrs space no. 332 & cell phone no. 909-347-1940 (which she always answers)
and Jerome Polands space no. 316 & cell no. 909-362-9988 corrupt investigator M. Carvalo falsified a report:
M. Carvalo never contacted two witnesses with personal knowledge of the origin of the fire (Durr and Poland).
Carvalo utters a BOLDFACED LIE reciting, Investigator Tracy (l684) and I (l688) took photographs and
interviewed witnesses. The general area of origin was determined to be the planter on the southeast (left side)
of the structure. The cause of fire was found to be undetermined. HE NEVER INTERVIEWED WITNESSES.
WE BELIEVE THAT EITHER HE OR TRACY PLANTED CIGARETTE BUTTS NEAR THE PALM TREES.
Carvalo then recites We began an investigation into the cause and origin.. On 9/2/14 they already knew the
cause and origin of the fire because Wendy Durr identified the cause and origin to McCarron on 8/30/14 which
McCarron repeated to Steve Tracey IN A RECORDED STATEMENT ON 9/2/14 exactly what Wendy told her.
After planting cigarette butts by the palm trees Carvalo then recites, Evidence of smoking materials was found
all along the planter surrounding the structure. Witness statements from Durr & Poland are conspicuous by
their absence, as well as any statements by the victim, Nancy McCarron. Only what could work to Stubblefields
advantage was written in the report; i.e. inferences that smoking by the residents was the cause of the fire!
In No. 7 of his report (page 8) M. Carvalo lists the property value at $100,000. This supports evidence that Judge
Kyle Brodie is part of Stubblefields racketeering enterprise as he refuses to classify UDFS1406978 to unlimited
jurisdiction despite McCarron providing evidence the damages Stubblefield seeks (over $25,000 in back rent)
and the property he seeks to seize both exceed Judge Brodies jurisdiction (limited to $25,000 or less). [see the
attached Writ Petition to Appellate Division after Judge Brodie denied reclassification to unlimited jurisdiction)
In No. 10 M. Carvalo recites, Evidence of smoking materials was found near the general area of origin.
Therefore smoking can NOT be ruled out. M. Carvalo knew his statements were false when made because
he had my recorded interview telling Tracy that Wendy Durr saw the fire started in the electric pedestal,
and had taken a picture of the burned out lug hole which was the origin of the fire by an arching event.
M. Carvalos final conclusion (No. 12 pg. 9) conveniently recites the cause of this fire was undetermined.
Carvalo prints out Investigation Report Detail which includes the following fraudulent evidence.

We believe Tracy and/or Carvalo planted cigarette butts in the palm trees to imply that Shipley started the fire.
* Steve Tracy & M. Carvalho intentionally did not interview Durr or Poland so they could falsify the 9/2/14
report for Stubblefields immediate benefit as will be shown by the remainder of chronological evidence below!
pp 11-12 9/4/14 Housing & Community Development (HCD) Investigator Bryan Winn (760-702-1436) arrives
after McCarrons 9/3/14 complaint-park refused to replace electric pedestal & gas meter to restore utilities to 333
Page 12 top shows second round of evidence proving a conspiracy with fire department to falsify arson reports.
Manager Hanna Noreiga stated the fire investigator had completed the investigation and was able to determine
a starting location of the fire which was by some palm trees by the street in the area close to the lot utilities,
not from the electric pedestal, but was unable to determine the cause of the fire. This was a BOLDFACED LIE!
Wendy Durr stopped by the office to report the fire and told Noreiga and Tom Parrish it started in the pedestal.
This also demonstrates the conspiracy between Tracy, Carvalho, Tom Parrish and Noreiga to falsify evidence.
After my initial call to Tracy on 9/2/14 he avoided me like the plague for two days (9/2/14 and 9/3/14). He would
not take my calls; rather he left his phone on voicemail continuously and refused to return my calls. I even called
other fire department clerical staff, who answered the main line to contact him to call, as I had new information.
Tracy finally took a call from me at the end of the work day on 9/4/14 which was our last conversation.
2

Tracy told me he was finished with his investigation and that he would tell me the same thing he had just
told Tom Parrish and his lawyer at a meeting they just finished; i.e. that the cause and origin of the fire was
undetermined but that he could not rule out (and believed) the fire was started by smoldering cigarette butts
in the palm trees. I asked if he had interviewed the only 2 witnesses with personal knowledge (Durr & Poland).
He said no. It was not necessary to interview them because HE had already determined the cause and origin
of the fire and had taken pictures of the cigarette butts all along the planter areas. Shipley never smoked in
that remote area. Shipley smokes only in her garage and places her butts into closed containers in the garage.
We knew then that Tracy and/or Carvahlo had planted cigarette butts in palm tree area near the fire to imply that
Shipley had caused the fire, and to protect Stubblefield from any liability for gross negligence or intentional acts
of arson to drive us out. This also explains why both Carvalho and Stacy intentionally failed to even acknowledge
the existence of witnesses Durr & Poland in any of their reports---let alone interview them before arriving at
their fraudulent conclusions about the origin and cause of the fire at 333. This also explains why Battalion
Chief Brian Crowell intentionally left the witness blocks blank in his initial 8/30/14 report at the time of the fire,
and why Crowell intentionally delayed arrival for 22 minutes when his fire engine was less than a mile away.
Crowell had arranged with Tom Parrish to delay arrival---hoping my house would be burned down by then.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN THE COLONIES CORRUPTION CASE WHEN THE WITNESS
AGAINST THE CONSPIRATORS HOUSE MYSTERIOUSLY BURNED DOWN- THE SAN BERNARDINO
FIRE DEPARTMENT TOOK 45 MINUTES TO ARRIVE AT THE SCENE TO FIND ONLY RUBBLE LEFT!
ATTORNEY GENERAL MUST INVESTIGATE THIS SEWER OF CORRUPTION IN SAN BERNARDINO!
Pg. 13 9/5/14 Stubblefields corrupt lawyer (Robert Williamson) sent a letter to McCarron with boldfaced lies:
According to the Fire Department Battalion Chief and the arson investigator,
with whom I have already spoken with, it is very clear the origin of the fire
occurred at the base of two palm trees at the Southeast corner of Space 333,
moved toward the electric pedestal, destroying the pedestal, and then continued
toward and damaged the gas meter and line which for obvious safety reasons
was shut off. In fact, based on my discussions with the arson investigator,
the fire was accelerated and burned intensely as a result of two conditions on
Space 333:(i) overgrown shrubbery containing some type of oil-based liquid;
and (ii) the palm trees on the Space.
The Fire Departments initial report indicates and confirms the location of
the fires origin, a copy of which will be forwarded to you upon receipt.
I am informed the arson investigators report, which will confirm the same
information, will not be available for another 10-15 days, at which time a copy
will be provided to you. Whether to request initiation of a criminal investigation
is under consideration pending issuance of the arson investigators report.
While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, the Fire Batallion Chief
and arson investigator both conclude that the cause of the fire was in no way
related to nor triggered by the electric pedestal.
Amazingly, neither Tracy nor Carvalho, nor Chief Brian Crowell talked to Wendy Durr or Jerome Poland.
Instead, the only persons they wanted to meet with and talk to were Stubblefield, Parrish and their lawyer!
How dare they be so dishonest and unethical. They all should be fired forthwith for blatant corruption!
Pg 15-27 9/8/14 Irate after receiving AttorneyWilliamsons email, McCarron faxed City Clerk at 4:00 a.m.
Outlining the details of the fire, and the blatant in-your-face corruption of Steve Tracy and Battalion Chief.
I also filled out a government claim asking for an investigation of this corruption in the fire department, and
asked the City Clerk, Ms. Hanna to investigate corruption. Ms. Hanna said she would forward my fax and my
claim to the City Attorneys office for review and action. The City later denied the claim on October 22, 2014.
3

Pg 28-29 9/8/14 Stubblefields Attorney Robert Williamson filed a declaration under oath, in Judge Sachs
court testifying to Judge Sachs that (in No. 4) On Thursday, September 4, 2014 I spoke with the arson investor
regarding origin of the fire at Space 333. The arson investigator confirmed that the fire originated at the base of
the palm trees on Space 333.
Pg 30 9/8/14 Because of the fax transmitted at 4:00 a.m. which Ms. Hanna read upon her arrival at 8:00 am.,
and which she immediately forwarded to the City Attorney, we believe the City Attorney immediately called the
Fire Department to find out what had happened and how the investigators could complete their report on 9/4/14
and conclude the fire started in the palm trees, without ever having interviewed either of the two witnesses
who had personal knowledge of where the fire started. (Wendy Durr and Jerome Poland).
In a kneejerk reaction to that contact by the City Attorney Steve Tracy FINALLY decided it would be
prudent to FINALLY INTERVIEW WENDY DURR AND JEROME POLAND which he did THAT DAY!
Page 30 is Tracys summary of his 9/8/14 interview of Wendy Durr---10 days after the fire and 4 days after
he met with perpetrators Stubblefield, Tom Parrish, and their corrupt attorney Mr.Williamson on speaker phone.
Continuing blatant corruption, Tracy tried to trick Wendy Durr by starting the recorded interview by stating their
interview was being taped on September 2, 2014 --- Wendy had to correct the record by saying, NO, TODAY
IS SEPTEMBER 8, 2014! Tracy tried to falsify again by creating a pretext that he interviewed her on 9/2/14.
In this interview Wendy Durr recited the identical history of events she had told me on 8/30/14 after the fire.
DURR SAW THE FIRE START IN THE PEDESTAL AND THEN MOVE OVER TO PALM TREES.
Durr also explained how the Edison employee saw the damage to one of the bus-bars (lug nuts-live wires)
within the electrical pedestal. She also stated he found a ball of metal down in the hole underneath the
pedestal where the electrical wires come up FROM THE GROUND.
Edison employee excavated the dirt for hours digging very deeply to see if the fire originated in the main line.
He explained to Wendy Durr that he believed an arching event occurred inside the pedestal causing the fire.
Tracy conveniently left this part of her testimony out of his summary of interview. How convenient?
Pg 31- 9/8/14 Tracys interview with Jerome Poland. Jerome told McCarron that Tracy tried to trip him up.
Tracy kept repeatedly asking Poland, Are you sure the fire didnt start in the palm trees at least three times.
POLAND stated, I felt like the fire had moved from the area in front of the pedestal towards the palm trees
and then continued to start the trees; those trees would have been a bigger blaze if it was the other way around.
THIS IS NOT WHAT TRACY WANTED TO HEAR BECAUSE IT DID NOT MATCH HIS CONTRIVED
CONCLUSION; HE WAS SO EAGER TO GIVE STUBBLEFIELD ON 9/4/14 TO USE IN COURT 9/8/14.
PG 32 - 9/9/14 Ex Parte Hearing on Shipleys Application for Order to Repair or Replace Electric Pedestal
Judge Sachs denied Bonnie Shipleys righteous application for an Order to Compel Repair or Replacement of
the Electric Pedestal and Gas Meter so that utilities could be restored. We were without electric power, gas,
telephone and DSL and had been for nearly 2 weeks by then, in the middle of a heat wave over 105 degrees.
I wrote a letter and called Mr. Williamson to ask if Bonnie Shipley could relieve herself from the extreme heat
by going into the air conditioned clubhouse and swimming pool. He said, no, she is an unapproved resident.
This was despite the stress she was under, as the sole caregiver for a brother dying of Stage 4 cancer (she takes
him to chemo, radiation, and proton therapy nearly every day, and has to hand-feed him 3 meals per day, as well
as the stress for caring for her 80-year old mother with congestive heart failure. These people are pure evil!
Judge Sachs had no sympathy whatsoever for Bonnie Shipleys plight denying her order to restore utilities.
Williamson smirked at me as he walked out, knowing he defeated us with corrupt reports by bribed fire officials.
Because Judge Sachs refused to compel utilities restoration, I had to spend over $3,000 to restore utilities myself.

Pg 35 -10/7/14 Tracys belated interview with Battalion Chief Brian Crowell, in an attempt to whitewash fraud!
Amazingly, Crowell back peddles and ADMITS there were two neighbors at the location when they arrived on
scene that had extinguished the body of the fire with garden hose prior to his arrival. Crowell stated one of
these neighbors was the RP who had called 911 to report the fire. It is also amazing that Crowell never
included summaries of his interviews with these two percipient witnesses who extinguished the fire.
NOTE that on Brian Crowells initial report entered 8/30/14 (pages 1-5 above) he never listed these 2 witnesses
on his report or a summary of his interview with both of them immediately upon his arrival at the fire scene.
Even in this belated report Crowell still does not identify Wendy Durr & Jerome Poland as witnesses therein.
Tracy then narrates, Crowell did state the cause of the fire may have been possibly electrical in nature but
was not able to make this determination based on his training and experience. How convenient?
Crowell did not need to make a determination based on his training and experience. He had a live witness on the
scene who TOLD HIM what caused the fire it started inside the electric pedestal shown by Ms. Durrs picture.
(see picture - page 20). But that is not the evidence Stubblefield wanted included on the corrupt reports!
Accordingly, Crowell filled out his initial report as if there were no witnesses, reciting he could not determine
the cause Crowell conspired to send corrupt racketeers (Tracy and Carvalho) to plant evidence Stubblefield
wanted to appear in the pictures at the scene; i.e. cigarette butts in the palm trees. How convenient?
These corrupt participants in Stubblefields racketeering enterprise executed the plan to falsify reports.
Pg 3310/13/14 Belated Final Narrative Issued by Steve Tracy (5 weeks after the fire-on city attorney advice)
Tracys narrative is replete with BOLDFACED LIES in a belated attempt to whitewash prior corrupt reports.
First LIE: Offensive fire attack was initiated and the fire was extinguished. Brian Crowell intentionally
delayed arriving with the fire truck for 22 minutes despite the fact the station was less than a mile away.
Wendy Durr marked the time she called (1:14 pm) and said the fire truck did not arrive until 1:36 p.m.
Wendy Durr & Jerome Poland had already extinguished the fire. Brian Crowell delayed arrival as requested
by racketeer Stubblefield --- in hopes my entire home would be burned down before the fire truck arrived.
What they did not count on is that two courageous neighbors would extinguish the fire with their bare hands!
CONCLUSION: CORRUPT FIRE INVESTIGATORS AND CHIEF FALSIFIED ARSON REPORTS
PLEASE BE ADVISED WE INTEND TO FILE A RACKETEERING ENTERPRISE CASE IN FEDERAL
COURT IN EARLY APRIL 2015. The time of discovery of this blatant fraud by falsifying fire investigation
reports was 10/28/14 ---- the day Nancy McCarron picked up Fire Department Final Narrative Report.
This claim is timely as it is filed within 6 months from discovery of this blatant fraud (falsified reports).
The racketeering case will be filed in federal court after waiting 30 days from denial of the claims.
We intend to name Steve Tracy, M. Carvalho, Brian Crowell and Judge Kyle Brodie as racketeer participants.
The following pages outline how Judge Kyle Brodie continues to enable Stubblefield to prosecute his
SECOND SHAM eviction complaint against McCarron and Shipley in the WRONG JURISDICTION.

WE DEMAND THAT STEVE TRACY, M. CARVAHLO, AND BRIAN CROWELL BE FIRED FOR
BLATANT CORRUPTION AND FALSIFYING FIRE ARSON REPORTS FOR PERSONAL GAIN
(EITHER MONEY BRIBES BY STUBBLEFIELD OR PROMISED FUTURE POLITICAL FAVORS)

WE EXPECT A WRITTEN RESPONSE, NOT JUST DENYING OUR CLAIMS, BUT EXPLAINING WHY.

CLAIM AGAINST KYLE BRODIE WHO HAS GONE OVER THE LINE IN APPEASING STUBBLEFIELD
Summary of Why Judge Kyle Brodie will be named as a participant in Stubblefields Racketeering Enterprise
Stubblefields Racketeering Enterprise is designed and operates to filch mobile homes from their legal owners
to add to Stubblefields portfolio of rental units inside his Mountain Shadows Mobile Home Community.
Stubblefield prosecuted a SHAM eviction proceeding against my co-resident Bonnie Shipley. Stubblefield
and his attorney, Robert Williamson, knew it was a sham complaint before filing and serving it upon Shipley.
The Notice to Vacate Stubblefield served on Shipley was unlawful because the statute authorized eviction of
purchasers and transferees who move in to a mobile home without a new park lease [Civil Code 798.75(c)].
This statute did not apply to Shipley because she is not a purchaser or transferee of McCarrons mobile home.
Shipley was/is a lawful co-resident sharing the home with McCarron. It was also a sham because there is no
privity of contract between Stubblefield and Shipley -- a prerequisite to eviction proceedings. McCarron is
Stubblefelds contract tenant---not Shipley who is McCarrons co-resident sharing her mobile home.
McCarron recited these arguments in a demurrer which Judge Wilfred Schneider should have granted 9/28/12.
Instead, he disregarded Stare Decisis, Codes of Procedure, Rules of Court and common sense as a UD Judge.
This was because Judge Schneider either feared billionaire Stubblefield would run a candidate against him
during his next 6-year reelection, or he wanted to curry favor with Stubblefield for campaign contributions.
Stubblefield engaged in scorched earth litigation tactics---fighting us as if ten million dollars were at stake.
We had 53 court hearings, with over 400 items on the docket, 15 volume case file wheeled around on a cart,
and a case summary sheet which is 43 pages long. It is one of the most complex UD cases ever litigated.
Schneider would not rule against Stubblefield no matter how obnoxious his motions were to harass Shipley.
However, Judge Schneider knew where to draw the line and did not cross over it. He denied Stubblefields
vile motion to converge upon our home with a goon squad to videotape, photograph, test and take samples.
After awarding unwarranted and illegal sanctions against us for $9,000 upon which we complained to the
Presiding Judge Marcia Slough, Judge Schneider voluntarily revoked his sanctions order and recused himself.
The case was then assigned to Judge Donald Alvarez, who was also afraid to rule against Stubblefield and
failed to apply the law to the facts on most of the motions. Judge Alvarez also knew where to draw the line and
denied Stubblefields renewed obnoxious motion for an order authorizing a goon squad of videographers,
testers, photographers, and unidentified agents to converge upon our home for testing and extracting.
Judge Alvarez denied Stubblefields motion to restrain myself and my husband from talking to any witness.
Judge Alvarez denied Shipleys summary judgment motion and set the case for trial. Shipley filed a timely
Writ petition in the Appellate Division. Judges Ochoa and Briscoe, who were the first judges we encountered
who were not afraid to rule against billionaire Stubblefield, and who actually applied the law to undisputed facts.
The Panel granted the petition reciting the same arguments I presented on demurrer and in a pre-litigation letter.
The Panel held the Notice to Vacate was invalid as it did not apply to Shipley because she was not a purchaser or
transferee, and Stubblefield could not evict her directly because he was not in privity of contract with Shipley.
The Panel ordered Judge Alvarez to enter summary judgment for Shipley and final judgment on the merits.
Judges Ochoa & Briscoe were removed from the Appellate Division Panel after issuing the Writ of Mandate.
Although Judge Alvarez entered summary judgment he never entered final judgment on the merits for Shipley,
despite that I had presented 3 alternate proposed final judgments for his signature in court. Judge Alvarez
recused himself. The case was reassigned to Judge Michael Sachs who was afraid to rule against Stubblefield.
In fact, despite my vehement objections he allowed Stubblefields attorney to compose Shipleys final judgment.
This violated CRC 3.1312 which calls for the prevailing party to compose final judgment. As one would expect,
Stubblefield paraphrased the Panels holdings, which recited that Stubblefields remedy was to proceed against
the homeowner under Civil Code 798.56(d) if he believed any resident had violated any reasonable park rule.
However, Stubblefield composed the text in final judgment to recite Stubblefield could proceed directly against
the homeowner ---or resident---under Civil Code 798.56(d) -- thus authorizing him to evict Shipley directly.
6

This directly conflicted with the Writ of Mandate issued by the Appellate Division Panel which expressly
recited that Stubblefield could not evict Shipley directly because he was not in privity of contract with her.
In violation of CRC 3.1312 requiring Stubblefield to serve Shipley with the proposed judgment and wait five
days for objections, and Local Rule 591.3 requiring a Judge to hold a final judgment 10 days for objections,
Stubblefield delivered the judgment to Sachs chambers and he signed it on the spot entering it that same day.
Shipleys attorney was forced to spend hundreds of hours prosecuting an appeal of her own victory to protect
Shipley from yet another unlawful eviction based on a statute which did not apply to her; i.e. Civil 798.56(d).
Shipley prevailed as a new Appellate Panel ordered Judge Sachs to strike or resident from the judgment.
Although Shipley cited Judge Sachs nine serial violations of statutes, court rules, codes of procedure, and his
judicial oath, the Panel labeled them as harmless errors and denied Shipley her costs for daring to allege bias,
and even chastised her for alleging judicial bias and recited a veiled threat that it bordered on contempt.
It was hardly harmless when it caused McCarron to have to labor hundreds of hours on research, writing
appellate briefs, paying $173 for transcripts, and hundreds of dollars on copy costs for filing brief and reply.
After Stubblefield lost all three appeals, and McCarron filed a motion for significant attorney fees for 2400
hours of labor over 3 years defending scorched earth litigation tactics (53 hearings, over 400 docket entries,
43-page case history, 15 volumes of case files -- wheeled around on a cart) it remains to be seen what Judge
Sachs will do with this motion. Will he award McCarron appropriate attorney fees? Will he have the courage
to actually apply THE LAW (attorney fees are mandatory to prevailing parties on MRL cases) or will he be so
afraid to rule against Stubblefield he will find a way to significantly slash fees or stall the award indefinitely.
Furious that he lost 3 appeals Stubblefield resorted to trying to burn us out of our home by sabotaging the
electric pedestal to start a fire (there has been no other reported fire in a park pedestal in over 50 years) and
arranging for conspiring racketeer Brian Crowell to delay arrival at 333 for 22 minutes hoping our home would
burn before they arrived. The station is less than a mile from the park. What could take a fire truck 22 minutes
to go one mile? The racketeers did not count on heroic neighbors saving McCarrons home! When this evil
failed to drive McCarron out Tom Parrish became even more determined to evict McCarrron and Shipley.
Stubblefield summoned his pit bull lawyer Williamson to prosecute a new SHAM eviction against both of us.
Judge Brodie was assigned to the case. While all the other Judges ignored the law and ruled for Stubblefield
on most motions, they were astute enough to know where to draw the line; they denied the most repugnant of
motions; such as, unjustified restraining orders on free speech against my husband and I, and denied orders to
authorize goon squads to invade our home to videotape, photograph, extract samples, and perform tests.
This violation of our privacy, with no compelling need, was denied by every Judge before cavalier Judge Brodie.
Judge Brodie does not know where to draw the line. He has taken under submission a motion to compel
my husband to appear for deposition to testify against his own spouseresearching the law himself for weeks
to try to locate a case which could support denying my husbands privilege not to testify against his spouse,
conveyed by statutory privileges under Evidence Code 970 and 971. We cited the Duggan case which is
exactly on point, holding an adversary cannot compel a spouse to testify against the other spouse. Judge Brodie
should have sustained our demurrer as there is no legal basis to evict McCarron or Shipley under stare decisis.
(see Summary of Merits). Judge Brodie clearly erred by refusing to transfer this case to unlimited jurisdiction.
See attached Writ Petition in Appellate Division (attached in email version of this Notice of Intent to Name.)
McCarron provided admissible, authenticated evidence that Stubblefield prayed for open-ended damages already
exceeding $25,000 [McCarrons Monthly Resident Account Statement reciting over $25,000 Rent Due 1/1/15]
and County Tax Assessor records showing the home is valued at $27,800 for tax purposes. Incredibly, despite
this undisputed evidence, Brodie DENIED our motion to transfer and insists on keeping it in his court which is a
limited jurisdiction UD court where past due rent damages do not exceed $25,000.
UD court imposes undue burdens on McCarron as motions and depositions are set on only 5-days notice.
Because McCarron has to drive over from Santa Barbara these short deadlines impose exhausting hardships.
Trial is set on only 21-days notice depriving McCarron of adequate time for discovery and trial preparation.
UD court has no provisions for telephonic appearances forcing McCarron to drive over for every hearing.
7

There are no court reporters. The record is audio-taped. McCarron must pay to have verified each time.
Transcribers discovered mysterious clicks on the tape in the middle of McCarrons sentences. There are no
clicks in the middle of Williamson or Judge Brodies sentences unless he interrupts. Parts of McCarrons
objections were deleted from the audio, as she remembers making specific points, and has written notes on them.
When McCarron listens to audio recordings she does not hear words she remembers uttering during the hearing.
Instead there is a click in the middle of her sentence---then Williamson or Judge Brodie is heard talking.
Besides these mysterious deletions Judge Brodie is so anxious to please Stubblefield that he consistently
interrupts McCarron during hearings to prevent her from recording important arguments on the tape for appeal;
yet Judge Brodie never interrupts Mr. Williamson. Most of the transcript is a colloquy between Judge Brodie
and Williamson---like two lawyers trying to figure out how they can tweak the law to support Stubblefields
request for relief. If McCarron dares to try to get a word in edgewise Judge Brodie chastises her---threatening
to eject her from the courtroom. Yet Williamson is allowed to interrupt McCarron and Judge Brodie at his whim
and Judge Brodie never chastises Mr. Williamson for interrupting. There is a double standard at all times.
We have been arguing before every judge at nearly every hearing for 3 years now that Stubblefield is
prosecuting sham evictions, and there is no legal basis to evict Shipley or McCarron as shown below.
Williamson argues there is a triable issue for a jury to decide if McCarron regularly occupies the mobile home;
if not then Stubblefield can evict her for violating a 2010 park rule requiring every owner to occupy the mobile
home at all times in order to have a co-resident in the second bedroom. Williamsons argument is illogical.
If a defendant is ticketed for exceeding 65 miles per hour he cannot invoke a jury to decide if 65 is a reasonable
maximum speed limit. A jury cannot overrule a legislative enactment which sets 65 as a maximum speed limit.
The same logic applies here. Stubblefield cannot invoke a jury to decide if his rule prohibiting subleasing is a
reasonable new rule. The appellate court in Rancho Santa Paula Homes v Evans already decided this issue,
holding a new rule prohibiting subleases, as applied to an existing tenant is unreasonable as a matter of law.
Stare Decisis must be applied to the undisputed facts. A jury is not authorized to overrule an appellate court!
Both sham complaints should have been dismissed with prejudice at the first demurrer hearing based on:
Otanez v. Blue Skies Mobile Home Park (1991) 1 CA 4th.1521 (first sentence) holding:
We hold that the tenant need not live in the premises full-time in order to be a resident
City of Santa Barbara v. Adamson (1980) 27 Cal.3d 123, holding the following:
people have an inalienable right to life...liberty happinessprivacy.
Rancho Santa Paula Mobile Homes v. Evans (1994) 26 CA4th.1129, 1147-1148 holding:
Because of the high cost of moving mobile homes, they are anything but mobile..However, as explained above,
a rule prohibiting subleasing affects the very nature of the holding and may well cause the eviction of both
the tenant and the mobile home owner. We hold that such a rule, when applied retroactively--that is, against
a homeowner whose lease contains no such restriction and who has not agreed to the restriction--is contrary
to the stated purpose of the MRL and is therefore unreasonable.
II Respondent claims that the regulation he seeks to enforce does not prohibit subleasing, but only requires the
owner to be one of the residents of the mobilehome. However, the restriction would permit subleasing only if the
home remained unoccupied or if the homeowner were one of the occupants. The restriction is broader than a nosublease clause in that it also prohibits a noncommercial arrangement in which persons other than the homeowner are
the sole occupants of the home. Nevertheless, it is essentially a prohibition of subleasing.
III Respondent contends that the restriction did not operate retroactively because it was incorporated by law into
the original lease. He argues that, since Civil Code, section 798.25 permits the making of new rules without the
homeowner's consent, the homeowner in commencing the tenancy agrees to subsequently enacted rules.
However, the argument begs the question. To be valid and enforceable, the rule must be reasonable.
A homeowner could not be expected to foresee a rule change effecting such a radical change in such an important
condition of his tenancy. Insofar as it attempts to operate retroactively, such a rule is not reasonable.

Attorney General Opinion No. 11-703 (July 23, 2013) on sublease prohibition concluding:
with the possible exception of rentals to park employees under appropriate circumstances that satisfy the
requirements of Civil Code section 798.23(b), if the management of a mobile home park has enacted rules
and regulations generally prohibiting mobile home owners from renting their mobile homes, then park
management is also bound by these same rules and regulations. Civil Code 798.23(a)

Questions and Answers


Concerning the Final Rule Implementing the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995 (HOPA)
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Federal Fair Housing Act), as amended by the Fair Housing
Amendments Act of 1988 (the Fair Housing Act), prohibits discrimination in housing and real estate-related
transactions based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap and familial status (in general, the
presence of children under the age of 18 in the household). The prohibition against discrimination based on
familial status became effective March 12, 1989. The Act contained a provision exempting "senior" housing
from the prohibition against familial status discrimination. The Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA),
signed into law by President Clinton on December 28, 1995, amended the housing for older persons exemption
against familial status discrimination. The HOPA modified the statutory definition of housing for older persons
as housing intended and operated for occupancy by at least one person 55 years of age or older per unit.
It eliminated the requirement that housing for older persons have significant services and facilities specifically
designed for its elderly residents. It required that facilities or communities claiming the exemption establish
age verification procedures. It established a good faith reliance defense or exemption against monetary
damages for persons who illegally act in good faith to exclude children based on a legitimate belief that the
housing facility or community was entitled to the exemption
Question 22
Are there circumstances under which a 55 or older owner/tenant might be temporarily absent
from a dwelling without affecting the exemption status of the community/dwelling?
Answer
Yes. For example, the 55 or older occupant may be on vacation, hospitalized, or absent for a season without
affecting the exempt status of the community. The resident may, if he/she wishes, allow a younger relative or
a house sitter under 55 years of age to live in the unit during this absence. In either event, the unit would
be included in the calculation of the 80 percent occupancy requirement as long as the dwelling is not
rented out, the owner/tenant returns on a periodic basis, and maintains legal and financial responsibility
for the upkeep of the dwelling.
Civil Code 798.19. Waiver of homeowner rights void
(Mobile Home Residency Law)
No rental agreement for a mobile home shall contain a provision by which the homeowner waives his or her
rights under the provisions of Articles 1 to 8, inclusive, of this chapter. Any such waiver shall be deemed
contrary to public policy and void.
Civil Code 798.34 (b)
(Mobile Home Residency Law)
A homeowner who is living alone and who wishes to share his or her mobilehome with one person may do so,
and a fee shall not be imposed by management for that person.
Clause 10 in 1-05-2005 Duffy lease which plaintiff admits was never modified. [Exh. B,
No persons other than those listed on the signature page of this Lease, and one guest (where resident would
otherwise be living alone) may reside at the Space without Parks prior written consent.

Stubblefield wants Brodie to maintain UDFS1406978 in limitedjurisdiction court for the following reasons:
1.) Stubblefield knows Judge Brodie will disregard stare decisis and rule in his favor on every motion.
2.) Stubblefield knows Judge Brodie will interrupt McCmon when she tries to get a key point on record.

3.) Stubblefield knows Judge Brodie will deny Tim McCmon his privilege under Evid. Code $970 & $971
and compel him to testify against his own wife in violation of the law just to vex and harass McCmon.
No unbiased judge would ever make such an oppressive and unfair order.
4.) Stubblefield knows Brodie will order a goon squad to invade the inside of Shipley/McCmon's home to
violate their right to privacy in their residence without any compelling state need. Judge Brodie adopts
the invalid argument that Stubblefield needs to videotape the inside of the home to "show it to the jury"
to argue the "firniture layout" somehow proves McCmon does not "regularly occupy" the mobile home.
Stubblefield does not need to videotape the inside of McCmon's home. All he has to do is present the
guard shack logs to the jury, as each guard is required to write down every time McCanon enters or exits.
That is a reasonable alternative to ordering the invasion of a person's private home by a goon squad.
No unbiased judge would ever violate the sanctity of a person's home as violating the 4thAmendment.
Criminal defendants are afforded more rights than McCmon and Shipley who have done nothing wrong.
This is the most outrageous miscarriage of justice. It shocks the conscience of a civilized society.
Brodie crossed the line in ordering videota~e/~hototzra~~~~e
of the inside of McCarron & Shiplev's home.
5.) Stubblefield knows Judge Brodie will alter the record by deleting words from the audio tape if necessary.
G-

6.) Stubblefield knows Judge Brodie will do whateverfie needs to do to ensure5tubblefield prevails,
even if he has to grant a motion notwithstanding the verdict if McCmon prevails at a jury trial.

7.) Transcripts and rulings in this case clearly show Judge Brodie rules against the law on every issue.
Judge Brodie has never ruled for McCmon or Shipley even though Stare Decisis required him to do so.
Judge Brodie rules against Stare Decisis to rule in favor of Stubblefield-to guarantee his financial and
political support for the remainder of his tenure on the bench.
8.) Judge Brodie continues to violate the law by not filing Form 700 since the 2012 year, disclosing his
assets and investments. We believe it is because he does not want to disclose significant monetary
contributions by Stubblefield or straw entitles Stubblefield uses to launder money to political allies.
We demand the elected officials who govern the City of San Bernardino and the County of San Bemardino
investigate this Big Developer corruption permeating the Fire Department and the courts. We ask presiding
County Officials to order the Presiding Judge of San Bemardino Superior court to transfer our case to unlimited
jurisdiction where it must be litigated under mandatory classifications set forth in CCP $85, 86 and 88 as recited
in CCP $32, and appoint a Judge who is not afraid to rule against Stubblefield when Stare Decisis requires him
or her to do so. We await a response at your earliest convenience. We will not submit to Judge Brodie's illegal
jurisdiction any longer because every unjust order he enters is void ab initio because it exceeds his jurisdiction.

Piedmont Dr. in the City of San Bernardino for a report of a planter on fire. Medic Engine 228
(ME228) was the first to arrive and the officer in charge, Captain Brian Crowell found a planter,
along with vegetation and other debris smoldering. On primary and secondary survey no
occupants were found inside or outside of the structure. Offensive fire attack was initiated and the
fire was extinguished. According to Captain Brian Crowell, 911 operators were called by a next
door neighbor, Investigators were requested to the Location via a request by the home owner. On
09/02/2014 at 1510 hours the request was approved by Battalion Chief G. Hubbell. lnvestigator
Tracy (1684) and 1 (1688) took photographs and interviewed witnesses. The general area of origin

UTILITY SERVICES
Electrical
Southern California Edison provides electrical service to the property. The electrical pedestal is
owned by the mobile home park. The pedestal was found on the south (left) facing exterior wall of
the structure and damage by the fire.
Natural Gas
The natural gas service is provided by Southern California Gas and the meter was found on the
south (left) facing exterior wall of the structure and damage by the fire.

5.

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
The involved property is located in the northeast area of San Bernardino City at 4040 Piedmont Dr.
# 333. The single family manufactured residence was built in 1984 and is approximate 1,300 sq. ft.
The property contains two bedrooms, two baths, a kitchen, a living room, a dining area and
detached garage. The exterior walls are wooden construction with wood panels. The roof is pitch
construction with composition shingles.

6.

EXTENT OF DAMAGE
A search of the surrounding area and a perimeter search were conducted. No ignitable liquid
containers or open flame devices were found. Evidence of smoking materials was found all along
the planter surrounding the structure. There was also notable destruction of fire patterns and burn
indicators to the area due to the removal of burnt vegetation with in the general area of origin prior
to the arrival of investigators. Exterior examination of building was initiated from least damage to
most damage in a counter clockwise rotation.

Exterior examination revealed minor to moderate melting and charring damage to the garden hose
reel on the southeast corner of the driveway. The palm tree standing left of the garden hose reel
also received minor to moderate charring damage, more towards the planter involved with fire.
There was a second palm tree standing towards the east (front) of the planter involved, which
received moderated to severe charring damage. The west (back) of the palm tree sustained the
most damage, along with the brush surrounding the area of the tree. This area appeared to be
mostly consumed and damage by the fire. There also appeared to be a fence in this area, which
was removed prior to our arrival. Continuing towards the west (back) of the planter, the gas meter
and electrical panel sustained minor to moderate oxidation and melting to the exterior. The
electrical panel also received moderate melting to its underground components.
The building and roof appeared to be structurally intact, with no burned through areas.

FIRE ORIGIN AND CAUSE


The determination of the origin of the fire involved the coordination of the data derived from the
following sources:
1) The physical marks (fire patterns) lefl by the fire.
2 ) Statements of first arriving firefighters.
3) Interview of witnesses.
There were significant fire and burn patterns on the southeast (left) planter of the structure,
indicating where the fire would have originated.
Due to the absence of other supportive evidence, the scene being disrupted prior to our
investigation and the fact other causes cannot be eliminated, the cause of this fire has been found
to be undetermined.

ELIMINATION OF OTHER CAUSES


SMOKING
Evidence of smoking materials was found near the general area of origin. Therefore smoking can
NOT be ruled out.
INCENDIARY
An incendiary fire is a fire that has been deliberately ignited under circumstances in which the
person knows the fire should not be ignited. The existence of a single indicator or combination of
indicators is not conclusive proof that a fire is of incendiary cause. Therefore incendiary can NOT
be ruled out.
ELECTRICAL
The electrical panel was found damaged externally and internally and is within the general area of
origin. Therefore electrical can NOT be ruled out.

StubblefieldProperties v. Bonnie Shi~lev.Case No. U!3D$1204130--Ex Parte


Ao~licationre: Space 333

Dear Ms. McCarron:


Please be advised that my client Stubblefield Properties dba Mountain Shadows Mobile Home
Community is in receipt of your written correspondence dated September 3, 2014 regarding a
fire that took place on Space 333 on or about August 30. 2014. Your unfounded accusations of
my client attempting to "burn you out" are despicable, false and malicious, how dare you.
First and foremost, your correspondence is replete with false, conclusory and defamatory
statements punctuated with wild speculation entirely untethered to any factual basis. Your
claims that a "corroded pedestal . blew out," and that "[tlhe fire spread from the pedestal to
the white fence, burned a palm tree, and the left outside wall facing the street behind the palm
tree" are utterly reckless, irresponsible and fiat wrong.

. .

According to the Fire Department Battalion Chief and the arson investigator, with whom 1 have
already spoken with, it is very clear the origin of the fire occurred at the base of two palm trees
at the Southeast corner of S ~ a c e333, moved towards and up the electric pedestal, destroying
the pedestal, and then continued toward and damaged the gas meter and line which for obvious
safety reasons was shut off. In fact, based on my d~scussionswith the arson investigator, the
fire was accelerated and burned intensely as a result of two conditions on Space 333: (i)
overgrown shrubbery containing some type of oil-based liquid; and (ii) the palm trees on the
Space.

The Fire Department's initial report indicates and conflrms the W i n of the fire's origin, a copy
of which will be fotwarded to you upon receipt. I am informed the arson investigator's report,
which wili confirm the same information, wili not be available fcr another 10-15 days, at which
time a copy will be provided to you. Whethei to request initiation of a criminal investigation is
under consideration pending issuance of the arson investigator's report.
While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, the Fire Batallion Chief and arson
investigator both conclude that the cause of the fire was in no way related to nor triggered by
the electrlc pedestal. Notwithstanding that you and Ms. Shipiey, your illegal subtenant, failed to
call the fire investigator for two davs after the fire, neither the Fire Department nor the anon
investigator found any evidence within the pedestal that it in any way caused the fire. Again,
your claims about the origin of the fire are baseless and flat wrong.

Upon learning of the incident at Space 333, and in accordance with standard procedure, my
client immediately shut off the electricity and gas lines on the Space to prevent any further
damage or safety threat to persons or property.

The remaining claims in your correspondence of intentional, willful, and/or malicious acts on
behalf of my client in response to the fire are frivolous, reprehensible and based on nothing
more than your venomous ill will toward Park Management and Mr. Parrish in particular. How
dare you utter these deliberately abusive accusations knowing they were false when you made
them.
For obvious safety reasons, my client is also unable to comply with your unreasonable demands
that the electric pedestal be replaced immediately, but please be advised that the Park will be
replacing the pedestal as soon as practicable. As you know, the Park is required to obtain a
permit for replacement and have the new pedestal inspected and approved. Moreover, the gas
meter and raiser must be inspected and approved by the gas company before sewice is
restored. My client is taking immediate steps to do so, though I anticipate it may take at least
10-15 days.
My ciiem is also in receipt of your notice of intent to move for ex parte relief before the
Honorable Michael Sachs on Monday, September 8. 2014 and the related ex parte application.
Simply put, you are wrong on the facts and wrong on the law. As you well know, the current
matter Is pending on appeal. Your 'request" regarding the electric pedestal is entirely unrelated
to Me prior matter which, but for the pending appeal, is concluded. Thus, the Court lacks
jurisdiction to entertain your frivolous request. Your reliance on Civil Code 5 789.3 is also
entirely rnlspiaced and inapplicable. Furthermore, your application, that neither includes the
requlred declaration nor makes the required factual showing. violates California Rules of Court
3.1201 and 3.7202. I am confidentthat your attempt to sidestep the Civil Code and 'bootstrap"
improper requests under the guise of a prior matter will be readily apparent to the Court.
i have confirmed with the court clerk for Deparfment S-28 that no ex parte is on calendar for
Monday. September 8, 2014. Should you attempt to notice an ex parte hearing, we intend to
appear and oppose your improper request and seek sanctions for the appearance since the
Court lacks jurisdiction and your claims are frivolous.

Very t ~ l yours,
y

RE: Fire in an Electric Pedestal at 4040 E. Piedmont Drive, Space #333 Highland, CA, 92346
Mountain Shadows Mobile Home Park - owned by Developer Arnold Stubblefield
COMPLAINT-Request t o Investigate Cormution at S t a t i o m ( Steve Tracey, Investigator)
Dear Ms. Hanna:

I sent this fax to you because you claim to be assio ion ate about open and ethical government."
There is corruption at Station 222 involving arsonlinvestigator engineer Steve Tracy, a Battalion Chief
and developer Arnold Stubblefield, who has been bribing city officials for over 40 years. Exhibit A
As you know, Stubblefield laundered a $5,000 bribe to Neil Derry through Tax Assessor Bill Postmus.
The DA prosecuted felony counts against Neil Derry and Bill Postmus but never indicted Stubblefield.
I have owned a mobilehome at space #333 in Stubblefield's p ~ r ksince 2005. Because I commute
often between Santa Barbara and San Bernardino I have always had a co-resident who shared the home
to keep up the gardening and maintain the property while 1am away. On 8/1/12 Bonnie Shipley moved
in as co-resident. I dropped off her application for residency at the park office the next day on 8/2/12.
After I departed the park manager drove up to #333 and tried to intimidate Shipley into moving out.
The manager said the owner was "no longer going to allow co-residents to move into #333." He said if
Shipley wanted to remain in the park she had to "find a sugar-daddy over 55 and move in with him."
When Shipley did not move out Stubblefield sent a process server to nail a "5-day Notice to
Surrender Premises." On day 6 Stubblefield served her with a shall: complaint for "forcible detainer."
This was while simultaneously collecting the full monthly rent $1,053 from me, Stubblefield's tenant.
Because I am an attomey and real estatc broker I defended Shipley h m a sham, unlawful eviction.
Stubblefield has engaged in scorched earth litigation tactics for two years. We prevailed, despite 2
years of acrimonious litigation. Stubblefield appealed all the way to the California Supreme Court,
with no avail, and will now have to pay my attorney fees because Shipiey is tke prevailing party.
The appellate court found Stubblefield could not evict Shipley as he was not in privity of contract
with her and that his attempt to evict her directly was unlawful. A motioll for statutory attorney fees
is pending and Stubblefield has done everything he can to make life nliserable for Bonnie Shipley.
Shipley is not welcome at the clubhouse and is banned from using the swimming pool or facilities.
On Saturday, August 30,2014 while Bonnie Shipley was awz:? for the day, a fire erupted at the
electric pedestal which supplies electric to the home at space #333. Wendy Durr, who lives next door,
and the neighbor across the street ran over to put out the fire which had spread to a palm tree next to it,
and also burned the gas meter adjacent to the electric pedestal. Bonnie has been without gas and electric
since Saturday. The park manager, Tom Panish, told both maintenance men (Jim & Rick) to "stay out
of it" and not repair or replace the electric or gas meter.

15'

1 suspected sabotage as I have never heard of anyone's electric pedestal catching fire at the park
before in ten years that I have owned a home there. I thought that because they have not been able to
evict Shipley, despite two years of acrimonious litigation that Toni Parrish resorted to sabotage.
I called Steve Tracey and asked him to investlgate as to what caused the fire in the pedestal.
For the entire 10 years 1 have owned the home residents have talked about how Tom Parrish and
Stubblefield have bribed city officials to "look the other way" when residents complain about fue
hazards or other unsafe conditions in the park. I asked Mr. Tracey to record my telephone request.
You can listen to our recorded telephone conversations. Mr. Tracey took the report and said he would
call me back. I told him he needed to interview Wendy Durr and Jerome Poland, the 2 neighbors who
saw the fire and put it out as they were the only witnesses. I gave him both of their phone numbers.
Mr. Tracey never interviewed either witness. A short time later 11e called to tell me that he visited the
site and took pictures. He never looked in the pedestal because it had been "taped up." He said he saw
cigarette butts in the garden area so he "could not rule out" a cigarette butt causing the fire. I told him
that was ridiculous because Bonnie and her friend Steve had left in the morning and were gone all day.
The following is what happened. On Friday Wendy Durr (ncxt door) hear a loud "pop" and lost
electric, which then went back on. Wendy thought it was a power surge due to air conditionhg use.
On Saturday morning, while in the back yard her air conditioner compressor popped on and then off.
She went inside and returned outside shortly thereafter. While at the unit, she heard a third louder
"op" and a crackling sound from her front yard. She walked up znd discovered my pedestal was
burning. Jerome ran across to help when he saw the fire. Wendy went inside to fetch a fire
extinguisher in her kitchen as water pressure is very low in the park. When she returned the fire had
spread from the box to the palm tree. Jerome sprayed the tree whi!e Wendy sprayed the pedestal.
They put the fire out. The next day a man from Southern California Edison arrived to investigate.
He was excavating the area. Wendy asked him what caused the fire. He pointed to a "hole" on the
left side where a double lug used to be. (see Exhibit B). He said :here was arching on that line, and
when that happened it got "hotter than the sun" and melted the double lug into a molten ball which he
found at the bottom of the pedestal when he opened it. He threw the molten ball into the dirt.
Wendy took the pieture at Exhibit B. Exhibit C is a replacement pedestal. You can see three double
lugs, and also replacement of three lugs. Wendy said the fire started in the pedestal and moved toward
the tree as that was the way the wind was blowing that day. Yet, Mr. Tracey never called Wendy.
I explained all this to Mr. Tracey but he still never called Wendy or Jerome---the witnesses to the fire.
He also never called the manufacturer or an electrician. Mr. Tracey told me he "did not know anything
about electric as he was not an electrieian." He said he "talked t~ someone" from the electn'c company
who denied liability because they are afraid of being held liable for damages.
I wrote a letter to the park's attorney. Exhibit D. I was shocked to at his response. Exhibit E.
Apparently, Mr. Tracey and the "battalion chief' met with Tom Pai~ishand talked to the park's
s
and was not invited to attend.
attorney during that meeting. I was not notified about & ~"meeting"
1 cannot believe the "battalion ehief' and Mr. Tracey would violate the confidence of my report, while
your website assures residents that reports are .'confidential." Why did they talk to the ark's lawver?

I ask for a full investigation. How could the "battalion chief' and Tracey come to a
"conclusion" the electric pedestal was not the cause of the fire and we are now blamed for it?
This conflicts with all of the evidence; i.e. what the witnesses saw and the man from the
electric company told Wendy the next day. He said the archine in the box caused the fire.
He showed Wendy the melted ball thrown in the dirt, which has now "disappeared."
See attached "arching" explanations from Wikipedia. Exhibit F
Why would your so-called investigator, Steve Tracey, tell me he "knows nothing about
electricity." If not, then he should not have been hued into the position of a r ~ o ~ ~ v e s t i g a t o r !
Secondly, why would he not interview the ONLY WITNESSES who had personal knowledge
of what happened (Wendy and Jerome)? Why would he not contact the manufacturer to ask?
Why would he not contact an independent electrician? Instexd the only people he
interviewed were Tom Parrish and his attorney. This is outrageous and reeks of corruption.
"Something in rotten in Denmark."
Bonnie Shipley's 80-year old mother has congestive heart failure; prognosis is not good
and her bother (who lives with her mother) is dying of Stage 4 cancer. Bonnie is going through
the most challenging time in her life and has no energy to fight this evil. She has been without
electric and gas for 8 days no@ Please call me to discuss this matter in more detail.
I demand a full investigation of this apparent corruption. I await your response.

Neil Deny sought to modify his probation
conditions from his guilty plea last year in a
campaign finance violation case, but a judge
rejected the request, according to court
records.
Attorney Rajan Maline appeared on behalf of
Deny before Superior Court Judge Richard
Peel to seekthe changes on Aug. 3.
Court records state Maline and Stephanie
Chow, a state deputy attorney general,
conferred with the judge off a e record.
When they went back on the record, Peel
ruled that Denywould continue probation on
the same terms and conditions.
Derty, when reached by phone Monday, Aug.
13, declined to comment on his request
except to say itwas 'personal."
A spokesperson for the attorney general's
office said they were looking into the case
but did not have details as of Monday
evening.

State prosecutors accused Deny of


attempting to launder a campaign contribution

and charged him with two felonies and a


misdemeanor in April 2011.
Deny agreed to a plea deal in July 2011,
where he admitted to a single misdemeanor
charge of failing to report a campaign
contribution.
He was sentenced to three years probation,
under which he is required to obey all laws or
face a 30-day jail sentence that was
suspended.
Derry also was fined about $10,000.

'

The charges stemmed from a $5,000


campaign contribution in May 2007 from San
Bernardino developer Arnold Stubblefield.
Prosecutors say Stubblefield approached
Derry about contributing to his campaign but
him to a political action committee that then
made a contribution to Derry, according to
the indictment.

The conviction has become an issue in

accused_-Derryof being part of a culture of
corruption at the county.

Deny has sald the charges against hlm were
polltically motivated and said he tookthe plea
deal to avoid a drawn-out trial.
In June. Ramos took47 percent and Deny
got 33 percent of the vote. A third candidate
won 20 percent. A majority is required to win,
prompting the need for the November runoff
election.

re: Stubblefield v. Shipley UDDS1204130

VIOLATION OF CIVIL CODE s 7 8 9 . S Shut off of Gas & Electric to #333 -Notice of Ex Parte Monday
Dear Mr. Williamson:
Electricity is supplied by an underground line to Space #332 (Wendy Dm), #333(McCarron/Shipley),
#334(Lelane) and #335 (?). Each of the 4 spaces has what So. Cal. Edison refers to as a "pedestal" which is
the main supply of electricity to the entire lot. This is separate and distinct from each panellbreaker box which
is mounted on the side of each home. On #333 it is on the right side iiear the back end of the mobilehome.
There is a main gas supply line also located directly next to the main electrical supply (the "pedestal").
On Thursday [8/28/14] Wendy D m heard a loud "pop" and there was a strong surge of electric in her home.
On Saturday 8/30/14, after she arose and had breakfast, Bonnie Shipley went out to do errands and shopping.
Shipley did not retun home until the late afternoon. According to Wendy, about 1: 13 p.m. she saw a fire at the
"pedestal" on space #333 which faces her front porch. I believe she was outside when it happened. Jerome
Poland (who lives across the street from #333) also saw this fire. Wendy aimed the water from her hose at it.
When Jerome ran across he took the water hose so Wendy could run inside to get her fire extinguisher.
Wendy returned and helped put out the fire with it and my garden hose, while Jerome continued with her hose.
They called the fire department. The fire spread from the pedestal to the white fence, burned a palm tree and
the left outside wall facing the street behind the palm tree. The fire was out when the firemen arrived at #333.
Jim (regular park maintenance man) was off for the weekend. Rick (back up maintenance) was summoned.
The electric pedestal was completely burned out. (see attached picture) Both electric & gas .#ere shut off.
Shipley returned home late that afternoon. She called me about dinner time tc report the fire and events.
So. Cal. Edison staff at 1-800-655-4555 [Edgar 3257, Supervisor Yolanda 1514, Eddie, and Supervisor
Maxime 33221 told me they only supply electric to the pedestal, the pedestal is the park's equipment, and
is always maintained by the park. The pedestal was installed probably 40-50 years ago [original installation].
As shown from the picture it is totally corroded and should have been replaced years ago. It is burned and
unusable. So. Cal. Edison will not reinstall service until the pedestal is replaced and a City Inspector has
verified that the pedestal and installation complies with Mobile Home Park and electrical code requirements.

Page 2
9/3/2014 9:30 a.m.
The gas meter was also turned off and has bum damage on the top front. Both utilities remain off.
Accordingly, Bonnie Shipley has had no gas or electric in the mobilehome since Saturday, August 30,2014.
I talked to Rick [909-936-6791] who said he could not repair or replace the unit as he was sick with a cold and
had already reported events to Hanna in the office. I called the office at 6 pm Saturday but no one answered.
I called Rick (the park's back-up maintenance man) and asked him to contact Hanna to ask her to call me.
I never heard from Hanna. We waited patiently through Sunday, Monday (labor day holiday) with no gas or
electric to the home. Shipley slept elsewhere on Saturday night as it was about 105 degrees that day so it was
impossible to sleep without air conditioning or a fan. The home also smelled of smoke as windows were open.
We fully expected on Tuesday that Jim or Rick (or both) would replace the pedestal and call the city
inspector to check it for reinstallation of electric service. No park staff showed up to replace the pedestal.
About 4:30 p.m. I called the office to inquire. Hanna answered. I asked Hanna why no staff had arrived to
deal with this emergency. She replied, "have vou notified vour fire insurance carrier to am for the ~edestal
and repairs?" I responded, "I do not own the pedestal; it is not my responsibility, nor did we cause the damage.
As you know, under Health & Safety Codes & MRL, the park must supply gas, water & electric to each home.
The park has always maintained the electric pedestals and gas meters, and has always replaced them as needed.
THEY ARE NOT MY PROPERTY AND ARE NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY. I called Rick back last night.
Rick said Tom Parrish told him and Jim to "stav out of i f ' and "do not replace or reaair the pedestal at #333."
We believe Tom Parrish is intentionally withholding electric and gas service to #333 to evict Shipley.
These willful acts violate Civil Code 5789.3. Failure to maintain services is a nuisance under Civil s798.87.
We cannot live without utilities and it is a health and safety hazard. The penalties for violations under Civil
Code 5789.3 are $100/day and were found constitutional. see Kinney v. Vaccari (1980) 27 C3d 348,351-353.
see also Otanez v. Blue Skies Mobile Home Park (1991) 1 CA.4th 1521 and Spinks v. Equity Residential
BriarwoodApartments (2009)171 CA.4th 1004; Kinney v. Vaccari ( 1 980) 27 Cal.3d 348. You must realize
that Tom Parrish, who is in his So's, shows signs of dementia and lacks the cerebral capacity to act rationally.
His conduct is not only inhumane, but illegal and malicious, warranting punitive damages. Although we may
have our differences in representing our mutual clients, I do not believe this is conduct that you would approve.
I trust vou will advise your clients to immediately replace the pedestal and call the inspector to approve it todav
so electric and gas can be reinstated. Shipley has been without gas and electric for 5 days now since Saturday.
Please be advised that if I do not receive notice fmm your office or the park staff that the pedestal has
been replaced by 5 pm tomorrow (Thursday) and the city inspector called to approve it on Fridey, an ex parte
hearing will be held in S-28 on Monday, for an emergency order to direct the owner to replace the pedestal and
to assess penalties of $100 for every day Bonnie Shipley has no utilities resulting from Tom Pamsh's malicious
conduct, and a loss in services caused bv his failure to replace a 40-50 vear old pedestal destroved bv corrosion.
I await your immediate response to this basic human rights violation.

Application re: Space 333

Parie

Dear Ms. McCarron:


Please be advised that my client Stubblefield Properties dba Mountain Shadows Mobile Home
Community is in receipt of your written correspondence dated September 3, 2014 regarding a
fire that took place on Space 333 on or about Ausust 30. 2014. Your unfounded accusations of
my client attempting to "burn you out" are despicable, false and malicious, how dare you.
First and foremost, your correspondence is replete with false, conclusory and defamatory
statements punctuated with wild speculation entirely untethered to any factual basis. Your
claims that a "corroded pedestal . blew out," and that "[tlhe fire spread from the pedestai to
the white fence, burned a paim tree, and the left outside wail facing the street behind the palm
tree" are utterly reckless, irresponsible and flat wrong.

. .

&cording to the Fire Department Battalion Chief and the arson investigator, with whom I have
already spoken with, it is very clear the origin of the fire occurred at the base of two paim trees
at the Southeast corner of Space 333, moved towards and up the electric pedestal, destroying
the pedestal, and then continued toward and damaged the gas meter and line which for obvious
safety reasons was shut off. In fact, based on my discussions with the arson investigator, the
fire was accelerated and burned intensely as a result of two conditions on Space 333: (i)
overgrown shrubbery containing some type of oil-based liquid; and (ii) the palm trees on the
Space.
The Fire Department's initial report indicates and confirms the location of the fire's origin, a copy
of which will be forwarded to you upon receipt. I am informed the arson investigator's report,
which will confirm the same information, will not be available for another 10-15 days, at which
time a copy will be provided to you. Whether to request initiation of a criminal investigation is
under consideration pending issuance of the arson investigator's report.
While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, the Fire Batallion Chief and arson
investigator both conclude that the cause of the fire was in no way related to nor triggered by
the electric pedestal. Notwithstanding that you and Ms. Shipiey, your illegal subtenant, failed to
call the fire investigator for two davs after the fire, neither the Fire Department ncr the arson
investigator found any evidence within the pedestal that it in any way caused the fire. Again,
your claims about the origin of the fire are baseless and fiat wrong.

Upon learning of the incident at Space 333, and in accordance with standard procedure, my
client immediately shut off the electricity and gas lines on the Space to prevent any further
damage or safety threat to persons or property.
The remaining claims in your correspondence of intentional, willful, andlor malicious acts on
behalf of my client in response to the fire are frivolous, reprehensible and based on nothing
more than your venomous ill will toward Park Management and Mr. Parrish in particular. How
dare you utter these deliberately abusive accusations knowing they were false when you made
them.
For obvlous safety reasons, my client is also unable to comply with your unreasonable demands
that the electric pedestal be replaced immediately, but please be advised that the Park will be
replacing the pedestal as soon as practicable. As you know, the Park is required to obtain a
permit for replacement and have the new pedestal inspected and approved. Moreover, the gas
meter and raiser must be inspected and approved by the gas company before service is
restored. My client is taking immediate steps to do so, though I anticipate it may take at least
10-15 days.
My client is also in receipt of your notice of intent to move for ex parte relief before the
Honorable Michael Sachs on Monday, September 8, 2014 and the related ex parte application.
Simply put, you are wrong on the facts and wrong on the law. As you well know, the current
matter is pending on appeal. Your "request" regarding the electiic pedestal is entirely unrelated
to the prior matter which, but for the pending appeal, is concluded. Thus, the Court lacks
jurisdiction to entertain your frivolous request. Your reliance on Civil Code 9 789.3 is also
entirely misplaced and inapplicable. Furthermore, your application, that neither includes the
required declaration nor makes the required factual showing, violates California Rules of Court
3.1201 and 3.1202. 1 am confident that your attempt to sidestep the Civil Code and "bootstrap"
improper requests under the guise of a prior matterwill be readily apparent to the Court.
I have confirmed with the court clerk for Department S-28 that no ex parte is on calendar for
Monday, September 8, 2014. Should you a t t e m ~to

A controlled arc-flash, produced in a flashtube. Even though the energy level used is fairly low
(85 joules), the low-impedance, low-inductance circuit produces a flash of 24,000,000 watts.
With an arc temperature of 17,000 K (30,100 OF), the radiation output is centered at 170
nanometers, in the far UV. The intense burst of radiation easily penetrates the shade #10 welding
filter which shields the camera.
An arc flash is the light and heat produced from an electric arc supplied with suscient electrical
energy to cause substantial damage, harm, fire, or injury. Electrical arcs experience negative
resistance, which causes the electrical resistance to decrease as the arc temperature increases.
Therefore, as the arc develops and gets hotter the resistance drops, drawing more and more
current (runaway) until some part of the system melts, trips, or evaporates, providing enough
distance to break the circuit and extinguish the arc.['] Electrical arcs, when well controlled and
fed by limited energy, produce very bright light, and are used in arc lamps (enclosed, or with
open electrodes), for welding, plasma cutting. and other industrial applications. Welding arcs can
easily turn steel into a liquid with an average of only 24 DC volts. When an uncontrolled arc
forms at high voltages, arc flashes can produce deafening noises, supersonic concussiveforces, super-heated shrapnel, tem~eraturesfar ~ r e a t e rthan the Sun's surface,
and intense. high-energy radiation capable of vaporizing nearby materials.

Arc flash temperatures can reach or exceed 35.000

O F

(1 9.400 "C) at the arc termina~s.'~'

The massive energy released in the fault rapidly vaporizes the metal conductors involved,
blasting molten metal and expanding alasma outward with extraordinarv force.[21

A typical arc flash incident can be inconsequential but could conceivably easily produce a more
severe explosion (see calculation below). The result of the violent event can cause destruction of
e c l u i p i n v o l v e d . L y to an electrical worker but also to bystanders.
During the arc flash, electrical energy vaporizes the metal, which changes from solid state to
gas vapor, expanding it with explosive force. For example, when copper vaporizes it suddenly
expands by a factor of 67,000 times in volume.P1
In addition to the explosive blast, called the arc blast of such a fault, destruction also arises fiom
the intense radiant heat produced by the arc. The metal plasma arc prodyces tremendous amounts
of light energy from far infrared to ultraviolet. Surfaces of nearby objects, including people,
absorb this energy and are instantly heated to vaporizing temperatures. The effects of this can be
seen on adjacent walls and equipment - they are often ablated and eroded from the radiant
effects.

Arcing, sometimes called an arc flash, occur,^ when electricity flows o r discharges along an
unintended path. Electricity jumps during anarc to a nearby grounded object. Arc faults,
caused by low, erratic elcctrical flows, commonlv occur due to fraved or exoosed wires.
They can occur anywhere in a building. \Vhilc half of arc flashes occur in appliances,
computers and other ~telnsthat run via clcctricity, 36 percent of arcs occur in electrical panels.

Overload
Arcing in an electrical panel occurs when circuits that make up the panel become overloaded.
Overheating can occur where a circuit breaker connects to an electrical panel bus. It can damage
the bus as well as the connection, making equipment unreliable and prone to hilure. Damaged
circuit breakers may not perform properly when excessive currents occur. Instead of t~ipping
whcii excessive or dangcrous current occ~us,damaged circuits may continue to let electricity
flow, leading to overheating and possible arcing.
Contributing Conditions
Conditions in or around an elcctrical panel can contribute to possible arcing as well as to the
arcing's severity, should it occur. Electrical panel wiring should never be exposed outside the
box. Combustible materials, including gasoline, paint thinner and similar liquids, should be kept
away from the vicinity of the electricity panel. Over-fusing, or using too many fuses inside an
electrical box, can cause too much electricity to flow through the circuitry, leading to
overheating and arcing. Fuses that blow, or circuits that trip frequently, can indicate a possiblc
arcing hazard. Other indicators of potential arcing include bum marks or a burning slnell near the
panel, as well as buzzing or cracking sounds.

What is an Arc-fault?
An arc-fault occurs when loose or corroded connections make intermittent contact and
causes svarkinv or arcing between the connections. This translates into heat. which will
break down the insulation of the wire and can be the trigger for an electrical fire.
Unlike a short circuit, that is a hot wire coming into contact with a ground or neutral wire, arcing
may not trip the circuit brcakcr. If vou've ever heard a switch buzzing. hissing. or povving,
you'll know what I'm talking about.
In order to protect your home, an arc-fault circuit interrupter can be used to detect just such a
problem. Read more: http://electrical.about.com/od/elec~cdsafety/darcfdu1tsafety.htm

On 09/08/2014, at approximately 13:45 hours, I conducted a phone interview with WENDY DURR a
witness to a fire that occurred on August 301h, 2014 at Mt. Shadows Mobile Home Park located at
4040 Piedmont space 333 in the City of San Bernardino. The following is a summary of DURR'S
statement:
DURR stated two days prior to the fire her home experienced a large serge accompanied by a loud
boom, she stated this occurred at approximately 1030 in the morning. DURR said her lights flickered
a little bit but did not go off completely. DURR stated she did look outside but did not see anything.
DURR stated on Saturday August 30, at approximately 12 noon she had a similar serge, but stated
there was no bang associated with this serge. DURR did state that her air conditioning system did
shut down during this second serge. Approximately 20 minutes later DURR went outside to see if the
breaker had gone off on her air conditioner. DURR stated she check the breaker later after the fire
occurred and the breaker did not trip. DURR stated as she was exiting her home out to her patio she
could hear crackling. DURR said she wasn't sure what the crackling was or where it was coming
from. DURR stated she looked out the window towards her driveway and saw fire on the side of her
neighbor's house next to the electrical pedestal and plastic fence. DURR stated the vegetation in
front of the electrical pedestal as well as the white fence was on fire and moving towards the two
palm trees.
DURR stated she went outside to grab her fire extinguisher and met her neighbor from across the
street who also noticed the fire. DURR stated she gave her neighbor the hose and she and he
attempted to extinguish the fire with a hose and fire extinguisher. DURR stated the first thing she saw
on fire was the plastic fence on the south side of her neighbor's house in the planter area and in front
of the electrical pedestal. DURR said the fire was traveling towards the palm trees in an easterly
direction. DURR stated she used her extinguisher on the plastic fence towards the electrical pedestal
and that was able to knock most of the fire down in that area. DURR said her neighbor put the fire
out around the base of the palm trees with the water hose.
DURR stated that Southern California Edison came to repair the electrical pedestal and wiring on
Sunday the 31st. DURR said the Edison employee had stated he saw some damage to one of the
bus-bars within the electrical pedestal. DURR indicated in her statement that the Edison employee
stated he would document his findings in his report. DURR also stated the Edison employees found
a ball of metal down in the hole underneath the pedestal were the electrical wires come up from the
ground.
DURR had nothing more to add to this interview. I concluded this interview at 13:59 hours.

On 09/08/2014,at approximately 1054 hours, I conducted a phone interview with JEROME POLAND
a witness to a fire that occurred on August 3oth,
2014 at Mt. Shadows Mobile Home Park located at
4040 Piedmont space 333 in the City of San Bernardino. The following is a summary of Mr.
POLAND'S statement:
POLAND stated he was walking out to his car located in his driveway when he noticed two palm trees
on fire on the side of his neighbor's house. POLAND said he went to his neighbor's house and
knocked on the door to see if they were home, but stated they were not at home. POLAND then
stated he went to his neighbor's to the north and knocked on his door to alert him that there was a
fire. POLAND then ran down the street to his other neighbor's to the south of the house that was
burning, but stated she was already outside and was moving towards him. POLAND stated she
handed him the water hose and he started to put the fire out on the plastic fence and around the palm
trees. POLAND stated it was very hot that day and he did not have enough water pressure in the
water hose to reach the fire fully so he had to stand back 3 to 5 feet. POLAND stated his neighbor
helped him with a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire as well. POLAND stated they were able to
extinguish the fire and his neighbor called 91 1 to have the fire department respond.
POLAND said the first thing he saw on fire was the palm trees. However, POLAND went on to state
he did see the electrical around the pedestal was melted. POLAND stated he's pretty sure it was
some kind of electrical fire but he stated he did not see anything in front of the Pedestal burning.
POLAND stated the plants in front of the pedestal had already burnt up. POLAND stated "I felt like
the fire ad moved from the area in front of the pedestal towards the palm trees and then continued to
start thd! trees; those trees would have been a bigger blaze if it was the other way around."

POLA D stated when the fire department arrived the blaze was already put out. POLAND stated the
fire de artment continued to water down the area that was burning and then checked the roof and the
surrou ding area around the mobile home for any hotspots.

POLA(D had nothing further to add to this interview, I ended the interview at 11:10hours.

On 08/30/14, at 1314 hours, the San Bernardino City Fire Department responded to 4040 Piedmont
Dr. in the City of San Bernardino for a report of a planter on fire. Medic Engine 228 (ME228) was the
first to arrive and the officer in charge, Captain Brian Crowell found a planter, along with vegetation
and other debris smoldering. On primary and secondary survey no occupants were found inside or
outside of the structure. Offensive fire attack was initiated and the fire was extinguished. According to
Captain Brian Crowell, 91 1 operators were called by a next door neighbor.
The fire itself was small approximately 10 by 10 on the south side of a mobile home at space 333. As
indicated in the fire report the fire was put out by locals prior to ME228's arrival. Refer to the attached
fire report for further. On September 1, 2014 1 received a call from the owner of the mobile home
(Nancy McCarron) involved in this fire requesting an origin and cause report. l informed Ms.
McCarron who to contact to request the information she was seeking. As I was attempting to explain
the process to Ms. McCarron she frequently would interrupt me by informing me of her long civil
litigation issues with the mobile home park. Ms. McCarron went on to state she felt this fire was
intentionally started as retaliation to her winning her court case against the mobile home park. I
informed Ms. McCarron I would look up who the investigator was who was called out to the fire and
attempt to put her in touch with the investigator for additional follow-up.
As I looked into this incident further I revealed an investigator was never requested to the fire scene.
In fact, when I read the fire report the Captain noted in his narrative the cause of the fire was
undetermined. I informed the home owner there was no investigator requested due to the fact the
Company Officer conducted a preliminary origin and cause and based on his training and experience
he listed the cause of the fire as undetermined. This explanation to the home owner was not
acceptable has she persisted this fire was intentionally set or at least that's what she suspected.
On September 1, 2014 1 contacted Chief Hubbell and informed him of the circumstances surrounding
this incident. Both Chief Hubbell and I agreed it would be in the departments best interest to start a
formal investigation due to the fact this home owner is an attorney and with her current litigation with
the park we needed to absolutely rule out any foul play. I informed the home owner the fire
department would look into the cause of the fire further. However, I did explain to the home owner
the scene had been released the day of the fire and the fire scene and any possible evidence may
have been spoiled and or tampered with. With this in mind, I further explained we would do are best
in coming to a reasonable hypothesis as to the cause. The home owner seemed to be satisfied with
our decision but questioned my explanation of possible scene tampering.
In the days following our examination Ms. McCarron became more belligerent as to our methods and
limitations of the investigation. I did call her back and explain to her the scene had been
compromised by Edison and or park maintenance people. The general area of origin had been dug
up and remarkably disturbed. I explained to Ms. McCarron we had no choice but to concur with the

original cause listed in the fire report as Undetermined. She was not happy to say the least and went
on to explain it was the parks responsibility to ensure her renters~electricityand gas be repaired so
they could return to the home. I explained to her this problem was a civil matter between her and the
park and the fire department had no jurisdiction regarding those matters.
On September 4th, I went back out to the scene and conducted a very thorough examination of the
electrical pedestal. In addition to my examination I also requested Edison and the Gas Company
back out to the scene to ensure the pedestal and the gas meter were safe. I did discover a small gas
leak from the meter and had the Gas Company render it safe. The Pedestal was cleared by Edison
as being DE energized and safe to work around. I conferred with the linemen from Edison on some
Hypothesis related to the Pedestal and the cause of the fire and then released him. The Gas
Company remained on scene to document their actions and post a safety report for the home owner.
In the late afternoon on September 4th, I received another phone call from Ms. McCarron on the SIB
line. I did inform Ms. McCarron I conducted the examination of the pedestal as she requested and
informed her, the determination of the cause was going to remain Undetermined at this time. I
explained I did still need to do some follow-up with some witnesses. I informed Ms. McCarron she
may request a copy of the entire detailed report and it should be ready for her in four to six weeks.
She was still not pleased with this additional work on this investigation. In Fact, she and her husband
started to cross examine me over the phone on the methods of our investigation. It was at this time I
informed Ms. McCarron if she had any further questions or complaints she could contact Captain
Lentine or Chief Harker.

On 1010712014, at approximately 11:30 hours, I conducted an interview with CAPTAIN BRIAN


CROWELL the Company Officer in charge of ME 228 who was dispatched to a fire that occurred on
August 3oth, 2014 at Mt. Shadows Mobile Home Park located at 4040 Piedmont space 333 in the City
of San Bernardino. The following is a summary of CAPTAIN CROWELL'S statement:
CROWELL stated ME228 arrived at the top of the mobile home park and found burnt and smoldering
palm trees to the front of the mobile home space number 333. CROWELL said members of his crew
checked the residents to see if the residents were home. CROWELL said his crew reported no one
was home. CROWELL stated there were two neighbors at the location when they arrived on scene
that had extinguished the body of the fire with garden hose prior to his arrival. CROWELL stated one
of these neighbors was the RP who had called 911 to report the fire. CROWELL stated the fire
burned a small portion of plastic fence, some light vegetation and melted the electric meter and
possibly damaged the inside wiring. CROWELL said the gas meter was also damaged. CROWELL
said the fire burned an area approximately a 10sqlft section of the planter on the South side of the
home.
CROWELL stated after he and his crew conducted additional cooling measures on the affected area
and determined the fire was completely suppressed he conducted a preliminary origin and cause
investigation. CROWELL stated based on his training and experience he did not observe anything
that would indicate a crime had occurred. CROWELL stated he listed the fire as "unknown" as to the
cause of fire. CROWELL did state the cause of the fire may have been possibly electrical in nature
but was not able to make this determination based on his training and experience. CROWELL said
he took additional protective measures to make the structure and environment safe by shutting off the
gas, taping off the area around the electrical box and checking the area for embers and smoldering
debris. CROWELL stated the onsite property management arrived and he informed them of what
occurred on scene. CROWELL requested Edison to secure the power and render it safe. CROWELL
stated after he and his crew were satisfied the property was safe and secure he turned the scene
over to property management.
I concluded this interview at approximately 11:40 hours. See Captain Crowell's fire report for further.

(4) WRIT ISSUES PRESENTED


1.

Can a judge deprive a defendant of due process by: 1) failing to read a demurrer,
[calling a 15-minute break for a cursory review]; 2) resume the hearing by vigorously
cross-examining defense counsel [effectively advocating for plaintiff] and abruptly
walking off the bench after counsel asked for an opportunity to argue the issues?
Did the court err by denying oral argument at a crucial demurrer hearing?

2.

On May 6, 2013 a former appellate panel found Stubblefield could not evict
Shipley directly as he had no privity and directed final judgment in her favor.
Violating CRC 3.1312 the court ordered Stubblefield to write the final judgment
authorizing him to evict Shipley directly. Stubblefield delivered it to chambers ex
parte without a proof of service. Judge Sachs entered it. Shipley was forced to appeal
her own final judgment to reverse the debauchery. Despite a pending appeal on the
issue of whether Stubblefield could evict Shipley directly under Civil 798.56(d)
[as recited in the final judgment] he filed to evict Shipley under Civil 798.56(d).
Shipley demurred under CCP 430.10 [c] to abate the second action while the first
action [1204130] is pending between the same parties & appeal issue [ASIAS140026].
Did the court err in not abating the second action between the same parties?

3. Did the court err by compelling defendants to litigate complex issues in a UD court?
4.

Can a court compel an answer to a complaint with fatal procedural & substantive defects?

a. invalid notice and/or invalid service of notice (defective proof of service)


b. a general partnership complaint not verified by a general partner
c. breach of covenant despite waiver by accepting rent after notice of breach
d. sublease breach despite waiver by accepting rent after notice of subtenant
e. delay for over a year in suing for unpaid rent or uncured covenant breach
f: retaliatory eviction barred by Civil 1942.5 proven by RJN + complaint exhibits

STATEWIDE URGENCY
Our legal system is based on the principle that an independent, fair
and competent judiciary will interpret and apply the laws that govern us.
The role of the judiciary is central to Americanjustice and the rule of law.
Intrinsicareprecepts that judges, individually and collectively, must
respect and honor the judicial office as a public trust and strive to enhance
and maintain confidence in our legal system. Judicial Ethics, Preamble
This petition addresses prevailing defendants having to defend a new case filed in
a different court while the first case is pending on appeal. It also addresses defendants
having to litigate complex real property issues in UD summary proceedings designed for
simple tenant issues. Answers must be filed in 5 days, cross claims are barred, pre-trial
motions and depositions are set on 5-day notice and trial is set on only a 21-day notice.
This deprives defendants of adequate discovery and truncates trial preparation time.
Granting the petition would enable the Appellate Panel to curtail judicial abuse by
reversing structural errors depriving litigants of due process rights to a fair hearing.
Overruling Shipleys demurrer to a new UD complaint authorized Stubblefield to evict
her directly under Civil 798.56[d]. Whether he can evict her directly under that code is
the issue on appeal in ASIAS 140026. Oral arguments are set for December 2014.
Legislators expressed their stated goal of encouraging park owners to seek injunctions
under Civil 798.88 rather than evicting residents by Civil 798.56[c] for violations. 1
Notwithstanding the courts clear error in denying Shipley oral argument on demurrer,
she must defend a complaint replete with fatal procedural and substantive deficiencies.

Legislative intent: This three-year sunset will arguably provide the Legislature with
the opportunity to re-evaluate this bill to ensure that the stated goal of encouraging a
park owner to pursue a lesser remedy against a resident of a mobilehome park instead
of eviction is actually reached without negative unintended consequences.) (Amended
by Stats. 2012, Chap. 99 (AB 2272, Wagner), eff. 1/1/2013)

PETITION
AUTHENTICITY OF EXHIBITS
1.

All exhibits accompanying this petition are true and correct copies of original

documents on file with the respondent court. There was no court reporter on duty
during defendants demurrer hearing on November 10, 2014.

Counsel will submit an

electronic CD of proceedings when it is produced after her request at Fontana court.


BENEFICIAL INTEREST OF PETITIONER;
CAPACITIES OF PARTIES
2.

Petitioner is defendant in an action pending in the Respondent Court entitled,


Stubblefield Properties, a California General Partnership v. Nancy Duffy, et al
UDFS1406978, a summary eviction proceeding. Plaintiff is Real Party in Interest.
URGENCY TO PETITIONER

3.

Absent intervention by this panel petitioner will be compelled to defend


summary eviction proceedings Stubblefield is currently prosecuting directly
against her, which were expressly prohibited by a Writ of Mandate issued by
this court on May 6, 2013. Stubblefield cited Civil 798.56[d] as the basis
for prosecuting the new case, while the exact issue of whether he can evict her
directly under 798.56[d] is on appeal. Briefing is complete. Oral arguments
are to be set on the December calendar.

IMMEDIATE STAY REQUESTED


Shipley asks this court to issue an IMMEDIATE STAY of all proceedings below
until this petition is resolved, or at the very least, until this court issues a decision in
the pending appeal between the same parties on the same issue, ACIAS 1400026.
Absent a stay Shipley will endure yet another unlawful eviction based on a statute
which does not apply [Civil 798.56[d] because Shipley is not a homeowner.

CHRONOLOGY OF PERTINENT EVENTS


4.

On 8/1/12 Shipley moved in as co-resident of a mobile home owner at Space 333


in real partys park. The owner had a series of co-residents sharing the home since
she bought it on 1/05/05. The owner registered Shipley as resident at the park office.
The manager drove up to 333 on 8/2/12 and tried to orally evict Shipley by stating if
she wanted to live there she had to move in with a sugar daddy over 55 in the park.
The manager confiscated a parking sticker the owner had attached to Shipleys car.
The manager told Shipley the owner had gotten away with having co-residents in the
past but would no longer get away with it under the 2010 park rules now in effect.

5.

On August 11, 2012 plaintiff nailed a 5-day Notice to Surrender Possession.


Shipley was unable to surrender as she did not own it. On August 27, 2012 Shipley
was served with a UD summons and Forcible Detainer complaint. The trial courts

denial of Shipleys motion for summary judgment was reversed by an appellate


panel, who found Stubblefield could not evict Shipley directly because there
was no privity of contract. The Panel ordered judgment for Shipley on merits.
Violating CRC 3.1312 the court ordered Stubblefield to write a final judgment.
6.

Stubblefield wrote a judgment authorizing direct eviction and delivered it to


chambers ex parte without proof of service. Judge Sachs entered it. Shipley was
forced to appeal her final judgment to reverse the debauched judgment. Despite
a pending appeal on whether Stubblefield could evict Shipley directly under Civil
798.56(d) [as recited in the final judgment] he moved to evict Shipley under Civil
798.56(d). She demurred under CCP 430.10 [c] barring the filing of a new action
while another action is pending between the same parties on the same legal issues.
On November 10, 2014 Judge Kyle Brodie overruled Shipleys demurrer, Motion to
Quash Service, Motion to Strike, and Motion to Transfer case to higher jurisdiction.
Judge Brodie ordered defendants to answer Stubblefields UD complaint in 5 days.

NO ADEQUATE REMEDY AT LAW


7.

Respondent Court's denial of Shipleys demurrer is not appealable. CCP 904.1.


Appeal after final judgment is inadequate as Shipley will have to defend eviction
under 798.56[d] while the issue of whether Stubblefield can evict under that code
is the subject of a pending appeal [ACIAS 140026]. Writ relief is essential to avoid
wasting significant party resources and court staff labor. California courts will have
to conduct jury trials in unmeritorious actions. Petitioner faces summary eviction.
If relief is not granted owner will lose her mobile home without due process of law
and petitioner will be deprived of shelter in the home she has occupied for 2.5 years.
Petitioner has no other adequate remedy at law for the relief sought in this petition.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, Petitioner prays the Appellate Panel:

1. Issue an immediate STAY of proceedings pending outcome of this writ proceeding.


2. Either (a) issue a peremptory writ of mandate directing Respondent Court to set
aside and vacate its November 10, 2014 order overruling Shipleys demurrer, motions
to strike, quash service and transfer the case to a higher jurisdiction, and directing
respondent court to enter an order sustaining her demurrer and issuing a 180 day bar
on filing a complaint, or sustain demurrer without leave to amend due to plaintiffs
waiver of alleged covenant breaches, and alleged sublease; (b) issue an alternative
writ directing Respondent Court to show cause why it should not so be directed, and
upon return to the alternative writ, issue the peremptory writ set forth in subparagraph
(a) next above; or (c) to direct any other appropriate relief.
3. Award Shipley costs incurred in this proceeding and attorney fees under MRL,
Civil Code 1717, and any other basis in law for which she is entitled to attorney fees.
Respectfully submitted,

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES


STANDARD OF REVIEW [DE NOVO]
An appellate panel independently reviews an order overruling a demurrer de novo. 2
There is no transcript in UD courts. Counsel will order a CD of the recorded hearing.
A transcript is not necessary as the panel does not review the validity of a trial court's
reasoning but only propriety of the ruling itself. 3 Panel is not bound by a trial court's
construction of a complaint, but makes its own independent complaint interpretation 4
A minute order recites motions denied; defendants must answer in 5 days. [Exh. K]

1.)

Court May Not Deprive Defendants of a Right to Oral Argument on Demurrer?


The court may not deprive defendants of oral argument at a demurrer hearing. Medix 5
We publish our opinion primarily in an attempt to delineate
circumstances which require the court to hear oral argument.

Medix @112

We doubt we have to persuade either the court or the litigants herein of


the critical nature of the demurrer stage of the proceeding. If, as we will
conclude in our discussion below, the demurrer should have been sustained,
its being overruled results in defendants having to engage and participate in
discovery and the expense of an eventual motion for summary judgment
Clearly a ruling on a demurrer involves a "critical pretrial matter,"
and the dispute between the parties on the issues raised are undoubtedly
"real and genuinewe conclude that the court erred in denying the
parties an opportunity to argue the matter in open court. Medix @115

8

Medix found that CRC 324 governing demurrers supported its legal conclusion.
Review of the recording will show Judge Brodie thwarted counsels efforts to argue,
including walking away. Every litigant has a duty to submit to the courts rulings.
After a litigant has done so, he or she may demonstrate the legal errors on appeal. 6
Notwithstanding multiple errors, stare decisis mandates reversal on this error alone. 7
2. Pendency of Prior Action On Same Claim & Parties Abates the Second Action
Pendency of a prior action predicated on the same claim between the same parties
abates the second action. CCP 597

If the court in a second action overrules demurrer

its proceedings in the second action may be restrained by prohibition. CCP 1102-1105. 9
The court clearly erred in overruling demurrer in order to proceed with the second action
while the first action on same issue is pending in Appellate Division. ACIAS 1400026.
The pending issue on appeal is whether Stubblefield can evict Shipley directly under
Civil 798.56[d]. A process server served Shipley by personal delivery Oct 6, 2014 with
two sets of papers. He told Shipley 1 set was for her (after she identified herself at door)
and the other set was for Nancy Duffy. Exh A2 as occupant and Exh.A4 as defendant:

Brodie must be prohibited from proceeding with second action until appeal is complete.

3. The court erred by compelling defendant to litigate complex issues in UD court?


Palmer 10 court held mobile home tenancies cannot be terminated in summary
proceedings:
...The summary proceedings for obtaining possession of
real property outlined in the Code of Civil Procedure are not
applicable for termination of mobile home tenancies. Palmer 385
Palmers prohibition on summary eviction was later affirmed in Rich v. Schwab 11:
Our conclusion is also consistent with the holding in (Palmer). In
Palmer the court held the eviction requirements set forth in the MRL
control over the less stringent requirements of the unlawful detainer law.
(87 CA.3d at pp. 383-384.)
Schwab @ 803
Although a court has discretion to preserve the benefits of summary proceedings,
it may not disregard a legitimate need for, and a right to, time to prepare and obtain
reasonable discovery in advance of a trial of complex issues on conflicting claims,
or require them to be tried within summary procedures designed for simple UD claims. 12
10 Palmer v. Agee (1978) 87 CA.3d 377, 385
11 Rich v. Schwab (1998) 63 CA.4th 803
12 Martin-Bragg v. Moore (2013) 219 CA.4th 367, 389; Deal v. Municipal Court
157 CA.3d 996; see Lindsey v. Normet, supra, 405 U.S. at pp. 64-66 [summary UD
procedures are constitutionally acceptable only in straightforward issues of possession
and incidental damages.] Id Asuncion v. Superior Court, supra, 108 CA.3d 141,
Mehr v. Superior Court, supra, 139 C.A.3d 1044; Berry v. Society of St. Pius X (1999)
69 CA.4th 354; "the summary remedy of an unlawful detainer action was not the
proper vehicle to litigate the complex issues of title in that matter. (Id, 364.)
11

when complex issues of title are involved, the parties' constitutional rights
to due process in the litigation of those issues cannot be subordinated to the
summary procedures of unlawful detainer. proceeding to try the complex
issue of the parties' rights to title of the property. within the confines of the
summary procedures that apply only to straightforward determination rights
to possession, the court abused its discretion.
Moore @ 391-392
The cases cited above are consistent in holding that adjudication
of complex issues of title to property should not be forced to adhere
to the strictures that apply to summary proceedings for unlawful detainer. 13
Error in trial proceedings is prejudicial when there is a "reasonable
probability" that the error affected the outcome of the trial {cites}
Under the applicable test, the error was prejudicial. Moore @ 395
Faced with these circumstances, the trial court's trial and implicit
determination of the ownership issue within the summary unlawful
detainer proceeding, and refusal to permit trial of the issue of title
outside of those summary procedures, was an abuse of discretion
requiring the judgment's reversal
Moore @396
Under stare decisis the court clearly erred when it refused to transfer the case
to a higher jurisdiction upon indisputable evidence the home is assessed at a
value exceeding $25,000. [Exh.C-174]. Duffys home is not a mobile home.
Homes manufactured after 1976 are manufactured homes---not mobile homes.
Health and Safety Code 18007. Manufactured home
(a) Manufactured home, for the purposes of this part, means a
structure that was constructed on or after June 15, 1976 is built on
a permanent chassis and designed to be used as a single-family dwelling.
[see also HUD Code ] 14
Duffys home was built and installed after 1974 [in 1984] as shown below

Exh B-16
Damages: $31.75/day from 1/1/13 to 1/31/14 (365+31=396 days x $31.75= $12,593
$32.90/day from 2/1/14 to 2/1/14 (365 days) x $32.80=$12,008.50 which is for
rent only damages are $24,601.50---not included accrued monthly guard fees
which appear on monthly statements mailed since plaintiff refused to take rent 1/1/13.
[see Request for Judicial Notice of real partys monthly statement mailed to Duffy,
attached to this writ petition and incorporated by reference:

13

The December 1, 2014 monthly statement will add $1,012 in rent damages.
The January 1, 2015 monthly statement will add $1,012 in rent damages. Thus,
within 6 weeks damages will exceed $25,000, before the Appellate Division even
writes a decision on the pending appeal ACIAS 140026 between the same parties.
Secondly, plaintiffs Civil Case Cover Sheet [Exh. A-1] shows plaintiff prays for
monetary damages by checking that box on its Civil Cover Sheet filed on 10/3/14.

A-1
Third, plaintiff prays for attorney fees [Compl, 38 + prayer Exh. B-16, B-17]
causing monetary damages to exceed $25,000. Finally, because plaintiff waited
more than a year to sue for unpaid rent, plaintiff is limited to collecting rent in regular
civil action, without restitution of premises.15

4. Procedural and Substantive Defects Are Fatal to the Complaint?


A defendant should not be compelled to answer a complaint with fatal procedural and
substantive defects appearing in the complaint, exhibits or in documents judicially noticed.

a. invalid notice and/or invalid service of notice (defective proof of service)


Eviction is based on a 12/26/14 60-day Notice to Terminate Possession

B-152

B-152
The notice at B-152 is fatally defective, failing to list name, address and phone number.
15

Cal-American Income Property Fund IV v. Ho (1984) 161 CA3d 583, 585


14

The Proof of Service has a robo-signed stamped signature pasted on the document.
The form was generated at Hart|King. The unidentified process server is not registered
pursuant to B&P 22355 as the form does not list a license number. An eviction cannot
be based on such flimsy evidence of personal service, where validity cannot be verified.

b. a general partnership complaint not verified by a general partner


Where plaintiff is a general partnership only a general partner can verify a complaint. 16
The affidavit is signed: "Fook Hing Lung Co. by Gee Chong Pong,
Member & Clerk of said Co." A test of the sufficiency of an affidavit is
whether it is so clear and certain that an indictment for perjury may be
sustained on it if false. (2 C. J. 348.) It has been held that an affidavit
cannot be made by a partnership firm in the firm name, since it would be
impossible to convict the individual partners of perjury upon the
evidence of such affidavit. (2 C. J. 325.) "An affidavit on behalf of a
partnership, therefore, should be sworn to by one of the partners,..
The affidavit states that the partnership was sworn, and it nowhere
appears that the affidavit was sworn to by one of the partners. Id
Plaintiff Stubblefield Properties is a general partnership. Thus, only a general
partner could verify the complaint. The verification at the end of the complaint
[B-153] is signed by Katherine Faulise, an account clerk in Stubblefields office.
B-153

16

Chong Pong v. Harris (1918) 38 CA 214, 217


15

A plaintiff must verify a UD complaint to ensure the allegations are truthful.


Where the plaintiff is a partnership, a general partner must verify the complaint.
There can be no negative consequences if a mere agent of the partnership verifies.
A general partner cannot be prosecuted for perjury committed by a straw man.
There is no incentive for a partner to refrain from making false allegations where
there can be no negative consequences for such misdeeds. The agents verification
is worthless fodder. Katherine Faulise testified the matters stated in the foregoing
document are true of my own knowledge. For example, 17 [Exh. B-13] recites,
Defendant McCarron neither intended to, nor did she regularly occupy the
mobilehome. Katherine Faulise could have no personal knowledge of Defendant
McCarrons intent nor could she have any personal knowledge of whether McCarron
regularly occupies the mobilehome. Ms. Faulise does not live or work in the park.
Faulise works at Stubblefields office located several blocks away from the park.
Faulise rarely even visits the park so she could not possibly have any personal
knowledge of who regularly occupies his or her mobile home in the park at any time.
Plaintiffs complaint is replete with innuendo, speculation, conclusions and lies.
The demurrer must be sustained because the straw verification is fatally defective.
c. breach of a covenant despite waiver by accepting rent after notice of breach
Under CCP 1161.5 a landlords declaration of forfeiture for breach of a covenant
shall be nullified if the landlord waives the breach by accepting rent from the tenant. 17
the acceptance by a landlord of the rents, with full knowledge of a breach in the
conditions of the lease, and of all of the circumstances, is an affirmation by him that the
contract of lease is still in force, and he is thereby estopped from setting up a breach in
any of the conditions of the lease, and demanding a forfeiture thereof." Kern @ 441
Exh.B of ShipleyRJN shows plaintiff waived alleged breach by taking rent. Exh. F-171

17

Kern Sunset Oil Co. v. Good Roads Oil Co. (1931) 214 Cal.435, 440;
EDC Associates, Ltd. v. Gutierrez (1984) 153 CA.3d 167
16

d. sublease breach despite waiver by accepting rent after notice of subtenant


The right of lessor to declare lease forfeiture by the making of a sublease without
the lessor's consent in violation of the lease is waived when the lessor, after
knowledge of the sublease, accepts the rents specified in the lease. 18

e. delay in suing for unpaid rent or uncured covenant breach for more than a year
CCP 1161[2] limits damages for rent to actions served "within one year after the
rent became due." If a landlord waits over one year to sue for unpaid rent he is relegated
to an ordinary breach of contract action, which results only in a money judgment without
restitution of the demised property. 19 The compliant shows on its face that plaintiff is
attempting to collect damages for rent as far back as January 1, 2013. [Exh. B-16, 37]

f: retaliatory eviction barred by Civil 1942.5 proven by RJN + complaint exhibits


A complaint fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action if it shows on
its face or it appears from judicially noticed matter the action is barred by an affirmative
defense. 20 Shipleys Request for Judicial Notice [Exh. F 168] shows defendants made a
complaint to HCD to compel Stubblefield to replace a burned out electric pedestal and
gas meter supplying utilities to Space 333. Defendants were deprived of gas, electric,
DSL or telephone for several weeks after a mysterious fire erupted in the electric pedestal
in front of defendants mobile home, which was under the exclusive control of the park.
An inspector issued a safety violation to the park manager, and ordered the manager to
replace the gas and electric meters to restore utilities to the home. He moved to evict.
Civil Code 1942.5 bars eviction for 6 months after a complaint it validated by HCD.

20

Halvorsen v. Aramark Uniform Services, Inc. (1998) 65 CA.4th 1383, 1391


17

Request for Judicial Notice [Exh. F 168] shows the complaint was validated.
Thus, the park was required to wait 180 days before prosecuting an eviction case.
The affirmative defense appears on the face of the complaint coupled with Exh. F-168.
While the courts focus is on the pleadings, relevant matters that are properly the
subject of judicial notice may be treated as having been pled.21

The demurrer should

be sustained because plaintiff was required to wait 180 days before moving for eviction.
Admissions in Plaintiffs Opposition to Demurrer Negate ability to State a Claim
Admissions contained in plaintiffs opposition to a demurrer can be used to negate
plaintiffs ability to state a cause of action. Casterson v. Superior Court (2002) 101 CA.
4th 177, 181 (face of the complaint showed the claim was barred by a statutory
affirmative defense); Rodas v. Spiegel (2001) 87 CA.4th 513, 517 (taking judicial notice
of admissions in plaintiffs opposition to demurrer); Setliff v. E.I. Du Pont De Nemours
& Co. (1995) 32 CA.4th 1525, 1534. Plaintiff made various admissions in its opposition.
The most glaring admission appears at page 6 [Exh. G-186].reciting a UD action is
a limited civil case only when the amount of rent and damages claims is $25,000 or less.

G-186
Since the mobile home is not moveable as it was installed into a permanent foundation
and enclosed rock walls it is impossible to relocate it. Secondly, the park does not
allow any homes to be moved in the park. Third, all surrounding cities and counties have
ordinances precluding installation of any mobilehomes more than 15 years old onto lots.
These ordinances are to prevent blight of very old homes moved into neighborhoods.
If Stubblefield acquires possession Duffy will lose $80,000 invested in the home.
Even a tax assessor assigned a value of $27,800 exceeding $25,000 limited jurisdiction.

CONCLUSION
Depriving defendants of oral arguments at a demurrer hearing was reversible error.22
The court clearly erred in not abating the second action while the first action between
the same parties on the same issue [whether Stubblefield can evict Shipley directly
under Civil Code 798.56(d)] is pending on appeal in ACIAS 140026 to be set for oral
argument in December 2014, pursuant to CCP 430.10(c) [demurrer, Exh. E-160 ln12]
The court erred in compelling defendants to litigate complex real estate issues of title and
right to possession, and application of complex MRL statutes in a truncated UD court.23
The court erred in overruling demurrer where affirmative defense [retaliatory eviction]
appeared on in judicially noticeable documents under Evidence Code 453. 24 Exh.F-168
The court erred in compelling defendants to answer in 5 days a complaint which is
replete with fatal procedural and substantive defects, most of which cannot be cured.
a. invalid notice and/or invalid service of notice (defective proof of service)
b. a general partnership complaint not verified by a general partner
c. breach of covenant despite waiver by accepting rent after notice of breach
d. sublease breach despite waiver by accepting rent after notice of subtenant
e. delay for over a year in suing for unpaid rent or uncured covenant breach
f: retaliatory eviction barred by Civil 1942.5 proven by RJN + complaint exhibits
Admissions in Plaintiffs Opposition to Demurrer Negate its ability to State a Claim.
Plaintiff admits that under CCP 85(a) and 86(a)(4) that where amount in controversy
exceeds $25,000 the case must be filed in a higher jurisdiction. RJN proved home is
assessed at $27,800 [Exh. F-174] and complaint 37 [Exh. B-16] shows rent damages
from January 1, 2013 at $32 day is over $25,000 by Jan 1, 2015. No jurisdiction in UD.
The Panel must reverse the clearly erroneous overruling of demurrer and sustain it.

JUDGE BRODIE SHOULD NOT SIT AS JUDGE UNTIL HE COMPLIES WITH LAW
As a final note, the Panel must find that Judge Brodie lacked any jurisdiction to rule on
this case, or any case, until he complies with judicial mandates of Govt Code 87203
Every person who holds an office specified in Section 87200 shall, each
year at a time specified by commission regulations, file a statement
disclosing his investments, his interests in real property and his income
during the period since the previous statement filed under this section or
Section 87202. The statement shall include any investments and interest in
real property held at any time during the period covered by the statement,
whether or not they are still held at the time of filing.
Gov Code 87200 expressly enumerates judges as subject to the mandatory reporting.
Complying with mandatory judicial duties is a condition of holding a judicial position.
Judge Bodie is not excused from complying with the law. Defendants object to his sitting
on a judicial bench despite his intentionally, inexcusable failure to comply with the law.
Judge Brodie failed to file a Form 700 with the FPPC in March of 2014 to report his
financial assets (for conflict analysis) for the prior year 2013. The last form he filed was
March 2013 for the prior 2012 year, and that form woefully failed to comply with duty.
Judges are subject to discipline by the Commission on Judicial Performance for failure
to comply with Govt Code 87200 to protect the PEOPLE of CA who pay their salaries.
Code of Civil Procedure 340, theres a one-year statute of limitation he can
be subjected to discipline by the Commission on Judicial Performance. Art. VI,
18(d)(2) makes a judge fair game for scrutiny of conduct occurring during the
six-year period prior to the commence of his or her current term. Yaffes current
term commenced in January. Yaffes failure to abide by his statutory oblgation
to report gifts and debt forgiveness, without more, would be disciplinable. Canon
2A of the Code of Judicial Ethics provides: A judge shall respect and comply
with the law. The law in particular, Government Code 87203 requires
that financial disclosures be made in the annual statement of economic interests.
It says: Every person who holds an office specified in Section 87200 [which
includes judges] shall, each year at a time specified by commission
regulations, file a statement disclosing his investments, his interests in real
property and his income during the period since the previous statement filed
under this section or Section 87202. California Judicial Commission v. Jaffe

I. DEPOSITION NOTICES SERVED ON MCCARRONS WERE FRAUDULENT

20

Defendants object to unethical fraud on the court, fraud on the court reporter, fraud on the building

21

23

manager at 206 E. Victoria Ave., Santa Barbara, fraud on a process server, and fraud on McCarrons.
The court must sanction Ryan Egan, Robert Williamson, and John Pentecost [the HART/KING firm]
for the most blatant abuse of process this attorney has ever encountered in 20 years of practicing law.
The firm never called McDaniel Court Reporters to schedule two McCarron depos for 12/11/14.

24
25

[Exh 1-McDaniel declaration, 1:26]. Two Notices ordered McCarrons to appear at 206 E. Victoria Ave.,
Santa Barbara on 12/11/14 (Nancy-9:30 am) and (Tim-1:30 pm) despite the fact that McDaniel Court

26

Reporters have not occupied space since October. [Exh 1-McDaniel decl, 2:1]+[Exh. 2- Dianna Peirson

27

decl., 1:26]. The depo notices were a total fraud. They were served by hand to harass McCarrons at

28

their home and only to generate this motion for sanctions to harass. [Exh.3-Nancy McCarron Decl.,A,B]

Suspecting fraud from the onset, Nancy McCarron called Sharon McDaniel on December 10, 2014 to
inquire about the scheduling. McDaniel told McCarron they had not occupied their office space at 206
E. Victoria since October and had relocated to 21 E. Carrillo St. downtown. McDaniel told McCarron

3
4

that no one from the HART|KING firm called to schedule any depositions. [Exh. 1, McDaniel decl.1:26]
McCarrons appeared for the depositions on 12/11/14. No attorney from HART|KING was present & no

attorney from HART\KING notified McCarrons depositions were never actually scheduled. This was

because the attorneys knew they had never actually scheduled any depositions. The building manager

directed McCarrons to drive over to 21 E. Carrillo St. downtown, and verified appearance by signing the

top of a copy of the front page of Nancy McCarrons deposition notice. [Exh. 2 -PEIRSON decl., 2:1]

Evidence proves malicious intent to harass & abuse McCarrons by serving two fraudulent depo notices.

10
11
12

The court has a duty to report this unethical conduct to the California State Bar. McCarron has
complained to the court on several occasions about this firms continued violation of CCP 128.7(a)
by using a cut and pasted signature block on the bottom of every pleading with three attorney names
[Williamson, Egan, and Pentecost] and then having someone insert squirrely circles on a signature line,

13
14

rendering it impossible to discern which attorney is liable for signing if the pleading is held to be fraud.
The following appeared on the last page of the fraudulent deposition notices served on the McCarrons.

15
16
17
18
who is liable for intentional fraud?

19
20

When McCarron appears she must petition the court to ask Mr. Williamson who signed the pleading.

21

These three attorneys conspire to insulate the firm from sanctions for fraudulent and frivolous pleadings.

22
23
24
25

The three attorneys violate CCP 128.7 which requires the composing attorney to sign his name only.
To discourage continued violations the court must sanction all attorneys who appear on the notice.
Sanctioning all three attorneys for these blatant and continuous violations of CCP 128.7 by using the
deceptive signature box may result in discontinuance of at least this facet of blatant deceptive conduct.
A deposition is a proceeding commanded under the power of a court. Attorneys are officers of the court.

26

Lay persons are not authorized to issue subpoenas to preclude abuse the court expects from lay persons.

27

Judicial Council assumes attorneys will not abuse powers delegated to issue subpoenas & depo notices.

28

These continued violations are an unethical breach of the powers delegated to them by Judicial Council.

against one party while looking the other way and continuing to excuse the favored partys violations.
THIS IS A COURT OF LAW AND EQUITY. RULES MUST BE APPLIED EQUALLY TO ALL.
P&A below provides indisputable evidence of fraud on the court, fatal procedural deficiencies,
violations of Rule of Court & Codes of Procedure. Motion clearly misled the court on spousal privilege.

II.

The Motion Is Invalid as It Failed to State Statutory Grounds In the Notice of Motion
Notwithstanding all the substantive deficiencies the court must deny plaintiffs motion for failure

to comply with CCP 1010 governing Notices of Motion, which must state when, and the grounds
upon which it will be made, and the papers, if any, upon which it is to be based. It is not optional;
it uses the word must---not may. Plaintiff was required to state the statutory basis for reliefnot jargon.
This court lacks jurisdiction to grant a motion not filed in conformity with mandatory statutes, especially
where sanctions are sought. This violates minimum due process which must be afforded all litigants.
HART|KING advertises representing clients for 30 years, and is fully aware of CCP 1010 mandates.
The purpose of CCP 1010 is to enable party served with notice to prepare defense to proposed motion.
Alvak Enterprises v Phillips (1959) 167 CA2d 69. Court may consider only grounds stated in the notice
Hernandez v National Dairy Products (1954) 126 CA2d 490. A notice of motion which fails to state the
grounds thereof is defective. Keown v Trudo (1925) 71 CA 155; Bonfield v Bonfield (1925) 71 CA 705;
Hecq v Conner (1928) 203 C 504. No statute is cited in the Notice which authorizes this court to
compel Tim McCarrons appearance and testimony, or to award sanctions against him and his attorney.
This is because there is no statutory basis for the court to grant such relief in the body of the motion.
III. Plaintiff Failed To Cite Statutory Authority to Bring the Motion against a Non-Party

17

As argued above plaintiff failed to recite any statute authorizing the relief sought in his CAPTION,

18

violating CCP 1010 (must recite authorizing code in caption & notice). Plaintiff failed to cure the fatal

19

deficiency by even citing a statute inside the body of the motion authorizing sanctions against non-party.

20

Page 3 of motion (top) is the only reference to any statute applying to a non-party reciting as follows:

21

If a non-party disobeys a deposition subpoena, the subpoenaing party may seek a court
order compelling the nonparty to comply with the subpoena. (Code of Civ. Proc.1987.1.

22

CCP 1987.1 authorizes a party, witness, consumer or employee to move for a protective order, reciting:

23

CCP 1987.1 Order to quash, modify or limit subpoena

24

(a) If a subpoena requires the attendance of a witness or the production of books, documents,
electronically stored information, or other things before a court, or at the trial of an issue therein,
or at the taking of a deposition, the court, upon motion reasonably made by any person described in
subdivision (b), or upon the court's own motion after giving counsel notice and an opportunity to be
heard, may make an order quashing the subpoena entirely, modifying it, or directing compliance with
it upon those terms or conditions as the court shall declare, including protective orders. In addition,
the court may make any other order as may be appropriate to protect the person from unreasonable
or oppressive demands, including unreasonable violations of the right of privacy of the person.

Where a non-party does not appear for deposition after subpoena under CCP 1987, the remedy
immediately follows the statute authorizing the non-party subpoena; i.e. CCP 1991 reciting:
CCP 1991. Punishment of disobedient witness for contempt

3

5
6
7
8
9
10

Disobedience to a subpoena, or a refusal to be sworn, or to answer as a witness, or to


subscribe an affidavit or deposition when required, may be punished as a contempt by the
court issuing the subpoena.
When the subpoena, in any such case, requires the attendance of the witness before an officer
or commissioner out of court, it is the duty of the officer or commissioner to report any
disobedience or refusal to be sworn or to answer a question or to subscribe an affidavit or
deposition when required, to the court issuing the subpoena. The witness shall not be
punished for any refusal to be sworn or to answer a question or to subscribe an
affidavit or deposition, unless, after a hearing upon notice, the court orders the witness
to be sworn, or to so answer or subscribe and then only for disobedience to the order.
As shown by the attached declarations of Sharon McDaniel, Dianna Peirson, and Nancy McCarron

11

Tim McCarron appeared at the time and place recited on the subpoena and depo notice served on him;

12

no attorney or agent of plaintiff appeared at the scheduled time and place; no one ever notified the

13

McCarrons that plaintiff never actually scheduled any deposition at the recited time and place to appear.

14
15

This fraud proves the purported setting of a deposition was a pretext; plaintiff never intended to appear.
It was served only to harass, vex and annoy the McCarrons and to cause them hardship and annoyance.
Plaintiff must be sanctioned for his fraud on the court, court reporter, process server and the McCarrons.

16

Under CCP 2025.430 the court must sanction plaintiff for failure to appear at the noticed deposition:

17
18
19
20

If the party giving notice of a deposition fails to attend or proceed with it, the court shall
impose a monetary sanction under Chapter 7 (commencing with Section 2023.010) against
that party, or the attorney for that party, or both, and in favor of any party attending in
person or by attorney, unless it finds that the one subject to the sanction acted with
substantial justification or that other circumstances make the imposition of the sanction unjust.

21
22

Tactics violate CCP 2023.010 (a)-(c) and are a discovery abuse warranting sanctions. CCP 2023.030.
This firm has engaged in abusive, scorched-earth litigation tactics against the McCarrons since 2010.

23

At some point, this court must finally get it and realize plantation owner Stubblefield uses the courts

24

as a whip against any serf residing on the Mountain Shadows plantation who challenges his authority.

25

Once a serf challenges the dictator he proceeds to filch his/her mobilehome & personal property through

26

sham evictions in UD court. Once filched the home is added to Stubblefields portfolio of rental units

27

advertised on billboards strategically placed right outside of the Mountain Shadows serfdom, advertising

28

homes at $845/month--a tenant bargain---and a windfall to Stubblefield who acquired the unit for free.

IV.

Failure to Comply with CRC 3.1346 (service-non-party deponent) is Fatal to Motion

Plaintiff was required to serve Motion to Compel & Sanctions on a non-party by personal delivery.

The Proof of Service on this motion recites it was served by overnight delivery on attorney McCarron
3
4

who represents defendant Shipley and herself in pro per. The papers were not delivered by personal
delivery to Tim McCarron as required by CRC 3.1346. This failure is fatal to plaintiffs motion.

V.

Objections to the Deposition Were Warranted Under Stare Decisis and Statutes

Plaintiffs argument objections were without merit is a blatant misrepresentation of the facts and law.

First, although plaintiff notes a proof of service indicates Tim McCarron was personally served 12/6/14,

that event occurred only after plaintiff tried to first serve notice by overnight mail, dumping it into the

10
11

same envelope used to serve Notice of Deposition of Nancy McCarron on Thursday, December 3, 2014.
below is excerpt from Exh. 4, p. 1 of this motion.

23

McCarron served objections to plaintiffs failure to personally serve Tim McCarron. In a knee-jerk

24

reaction, plaintiff sent a process server up to our home to deliver the subpoena by hand to Mr. McCarron

25

This proves plaintiff knew the service by mail to a non-party failed to comply with CCP 1987 service.

26

Accordingly, McCarrons objection was appropriate and warranted as the service was clearly defective.

27

Although this deficiency was cured by the personal delivery on 12/6/14, plaintiff failed to cure its

28

defective service of this Motion for Sanctions under CRC 3.1346. This court is without jurisdiction here.

VI.

Evidence Code 970 Precludes Compelling Tim McCarron to Testify Against Party Spouse

Plaintiff has engaged in a history of misrepresenting the law and facts to 4 judges in this court.

Wilfred Schneider, Donald Alvarez, Michael Sachs, Appellate Judges, and now this court in Dept. 7.

These misrepresentations of fact and law resulted in their rulings being reversed on appeals or writs.

McCarron cautions this court not to be led down the same primrose path of reversible error by trickery.

Plaintiff misrepresented the law on the spousal privilege not to testify as a witness against a spouse.

EC 970 bars testimony against a spouse and EC 971 bars calling as a witness against a spouse/party.

Evidence Code 971. Privilege not to be called as a witness against spouse


Except as otherwise provided by statute, a married person whose spouse is a party to a
proceeding has a privilege not to be called as a witness by an adverse party to that proceeding
without the prior express consent of the spouse having the privilege under this section unless the
party calling the spouse does so in good faith without knowledge of the marital relationship.
There are a few statutory exceptions enumerated at EC 972 none of which apply in this proceeding.
There are only 2 instances where the privilege can be waived, expressly enumerated at EC 973:
Evidence Code 973. Waiver of privilege
(a) Unless erroneously compelled to do so, a married person who testifies in a proceeding to which
his spouse is a party, or who testifies against his spouse in any proceeding, does not have a privilege
under this article in the proceeding in which such testimony is given.
(b) There is no privilege under this article in a civil proceeding brought or defended by
a married person for the immediate benefit of his spouse or of himself and his spouse.
Plaintiff knows that waiver does not apply on these facts as explained in cases annotated in EC973.
Plaintiff misrepresents the facts and knows waiver cases hold exactly the opposite of its arguments.

22

Lets get the facts straight. The mobilehome is separate property as acquired 1/5/05---6.5 years before

23

marriage on 9/28/11. (McCarron will bring her marriage certificate for in camera review to prove this)

24

Family Code 770. Separate property of married person


(a) Separate property of a married person includes all of the following:
(1) All property owned by the person before marriage.
(2) All property acquired by the person after marriage by gift, bequest, devise, or descent.
(3) The rents, issues, and profits of the property described in this section.
(b) A married person may, without the consent of the person's spouse, convey the person's separate
property.

As part of Stubblefields racketeering enterprise, to facilitate filching mobile homes from elderly and
disabled owners, who cannot afford a lawyer to save their home, racketeer Robert Williamson created a
52-page set of onerous, park-busting Community Rules to impose upon the unsuspecting victims to
facilitate filching their homes via sham evictions for purported rule violations. This caused market
values of mobile homes in the Mountain Shadows plantation serfdom to drop from $100,000 to ZERO.

Any rent formerly collected from Bonnie Shipley for her shared use of the mobile home went

directly to Stubblefield by way of Nancy McCarrons monthly rent paid to Stubblefield each month.

Shipleys portion of rent did not even come close to creating a positive cash flow on the property.

McCarron would have to collect $80,000 in rent from Shipley, and pay nothing to Stubblefield to even

recover her initial $80,000 investment. Either counsel Egan, Williamson or Pentecost (whichever

10
11
12

fraudster composed this bogus motion), blatantly defrauded this court by reciting Duffy-McCarron also
alleges to share the mobile home with her husband Timothy. Any cites to where McCarron alleges
this are conspicuous by their absence! All 3 HART/KING racketeers continue to defraud this court by
peppering their arguments with purported facts which are always boldfaced lies by the attorneys.

13
14

[BAJI 1.02 Statements of Counsel are not Evidence]

15

Plaintiff argues that Diepenbrock v. Brown (2012) 208 CA. 4th 743 recites there are opposing views

16

on whether waiver is triggered. Not true. Diepenbrock affirmed the trial courts application of privilege.

17

The only issued appealed was sanctions awarded against deposing partys counsel, which were reversed.

18
19
20

Plaintiff artfully omitted Duggan v. Supr Court (1981) 127 CA3d. 267 which McCarron cited in M&C.
Duggan is on all fours with this case. Duggan prosecuted an action to dissolve a partnership and force
accounting of partnership assets. Defendant partners noticed Duggans wifes deposition. A trial court
ordered her to testify, finding a community property interest in any recovery her husband might obtain.

21

Duggan filed a Writ Petition. The court reversed the trial courts order compelling her deposition:

22

The question presented is whether the action is prosecuted for the "immediate
benefit" of petitioner's spouse In granting the motion, respondent court accepted the
argument of real parties that the exception contained in section 973, subdivision (b),
applied"There is no privilege under this article in a civil proceeding brought or
defended by a married person for the immediate benefit of his spouse or of himself and
his spouse." In light of the foregoing, we respond to the question whether a spouse who
is not named as a party to the action, nor as a signatory to the partnership agreement at
issue, nor as record holder of any of the real property at issue, is a person for whose
immediate benefit the action was brought, solely by virtue of a potential community
property interest in any recovery which petitioner might obtain. Duggan @ 269-270

Duggan cited several cases, including two from the Supreme Court, defining immediate benefit:
These cases appear to limit the application of "immediate benefit" to persons who
are represented by a nominal plaintiff or defendant (as where a corporation serves
as the alter ego of its sole shareholder) or who themselves have the right to act or
defend against the adverse party on the issues involved. Otherwise, the right to a
portion of the recovery is not immediate and direct
(3) The Legislature is presumed to have knowledge of existing judicial decisions
construing words in analogous statutes and to have enacted a new statute in
light thereof. {cites} In this case, petitioner was a partner in a real estate venture.
We conclude that, under the authority heretofore set forth, petitioner's spouse
has no present, immediate, or direct interest in the property constituting the
partnership assets. Any claim to a community property interest in the partnership
would be against petitioner rather than real parties, and under the showing made
here, the action is not being prosecuted for the immediate benefit of the person
whose deposition is sought.
Let a peremptory writ of prohibition issue to prevent respondent superior court from
enforcing its order compelling the deposition of petitioner's spouse. Duggan @ 272
Plaintiff omitted Duggan because the court must apply Duggan under Stare Decisis. Auto Equity Sales,
supra @455. Diepenbrock affirmed marital privilege. Legislative comments to EC 970 explain why:
The rationale of the privilege provided by Section 970 not to testify against one's spouse
is that such testimony would seriously disturb or disrupt the marital relationship.
Society stands to lose more from such disruption than it stands to gain from the
testimony which would be available if the privilege did not exist. The privilege is
based in part on a previous recommendation and study of the California Law Revision
Commission. See 1 Cal. Law Revision Comm'n, Rep., Rec. & Studies, Recommendation
and Study Relating to the Marital "For and Against" Testimonial Privilege at F-1 (1957).

Plaintiff argued Diepenbrock noted conflicting authorities as to immediate benefitciting only half of
a sentence from the Rutter Guide while artfully omitting the other half. Diepenbrock noted conflicts in
immediate benefit but only where community property is at stake, such as in a personal injury action.
Personal injury damages recoveries are generally community property if the cause of
action arose during marriage (Fam.C. 780); thus, in a married person's suit to recover
damages for personal injuries sustained during marriage, the noninjured spouse has a
direct interest in the outcome and the privilege is waived.'' (Guide, 8:2344, p. 8E-109)
There is only a conflict where a potential community property interest in a monetary award is at stake.
Here, there is no community property interest. Plaintiff admits the home is a separate property asset.
Any rent Shipley pays is her prorated portion of rent owed to Stubblefield to rent the space at #333.

Even if Shipleys rent were income it is separate property. FC 770 (a). Plaintiffs argument Duffy

VIII. Sanctions Against McCarrons are Unwarranted/Unuthorized; Court Must Sanction Plaintiff
As explained above, under CRC 3.145 plaintiff was required to serve any motion to sanction Tim
McCarron, or compel his appearance at a deposition, by personal service. Mailing a copy to Shipleys
attorney fails to comply with CRC 3.145. An attorney and client may not be sanctioned for invoking a
statutory privilege. In Doe v. U.S. Swimming, Inc. (2011) 200 CA.4th 1424, 1434 the court held that

22

substantial justification means a justification well grounded in both law and fact. (See Union Mut.

23

Life Ins. Co. v. Superior Court (1978) 80 Cal.App.3d 1, 15. A party seeking discovery sanctions must

24

demonstrate that the opposing party's objections were insubstantial, were interposed for purposes of

25

delay or harassment, or were otherwise unreasonable. Weil & Brown, Cal. Practice Guide: Civil Proc.

26

Before Trial, supra, 8:846, p. 8E-152 (rev. #1, 2012). McCarrons were substantially justified to object

27

to a deposition prohibited by Evid. Code 970 & 971, and where waiver under 973(b) does not apply

28

as there is no community property interest in defending a sham eviction on a separate property asset.

CONCLUSION
The court should sanction plaintiffs attorney for serving a fraudulent "Notice of Deposition" set at
a non-existent location---where the attorney never scheduled depositions with the court reporter, and fo
filing a sham motion. This is clearly an abuse of discovery under CCP 52023.030. Secondly, plaintiff
failed to comply with CRC 3.145 and failed to file a motion under the proper Code of Civil Procedure.
(see declarations of Court Reporter Sharon McDaniel, Owner Dianna Peirson, and Nancy McCarron.)
The court should not tolerate this kind of unethical lawyer conduct, regardless of the merits involved.
Attorney McCarron spent 10 hours researching, obtaining witness declarations in defense of the
sham sanction motion, composing opposition & anticipates another 10 hours traveling to San Bernardir
(round trip) to appear at a hearing on this sham motion. McCarron's rate is $350/hour---the same rate

HARTKING charges Stubblefield for Mr. Williamson's attorney hours. Total sanction request is for
$7,000.00 to defend this fiivolous motion brought without substantial justification.
The court should sanction the firm for using a fraudulent signature stamv with swirled circles to
avoid complying with CCP 5128.7, and for serving a fraudulent Subpoena and Notice of Deposition,
under the authority of court, and for misrepresenting the true facts in presenting this motion to the coun

I, SHARON MCDANIEL, declare the following:


1. I am over 18, not a party, do not know any party, and base my statements on personal knowledge.
2. I am co-owner of McDaniel Court Reporting, together with my husband Kenneth McDaniel.
3. I have never scheduled a deposition, or been involyed in one, with Nancy or Timothy McCarron.
4. On December 10; 2014 I received a call from Nancy Duffy McCarron asking if we had scheduled a
court reporter to appear at 206 E. Victoria Avenue, in Santa Barbara on December 1l,20 14 for the
noticed deposition of Nancy McCarron at 9:30 am and then Timothy McCarron at 1:30 pm that day
I told her we hadn't received any job request from the HARTKING Firm for December 11,2014.
I told Mrs. McCarron the last request we received with that name was from "Hart, King, Coldren"
and it was a long time ago. Mrs. McCarron said the firm split up last year and the name on her
Deposition Notice was "HARTKING," as shown on Notice of Deposition attached as Exhibit A.

5. Nancy Warron told me thoir notices included the 206 E.Victoria Street, Santa Barbara address

which we have not occupied since October. I told her w e moved our Santa B a r h a satellite office
to 21 W. Camllo St., but no reporter was scheduledto appear at either address December 11,2014.
I declare the above staternedts to bc true under penalty ofperjlrry and the laws of California
Executed in San Luis Obispo, Californiaon the date entered below to thc icfi of my signature.

I, NANCY DUFFY MCCARRON, declare the following:


I. I am a defendant and attorney for co-defendant Bonnie Shipley, and for non-party Tim McCarron;

I base the following statements on personal knowledge.

On December 11, 2014 at 9:20 a.m. I waked into a building at 206 E. Victoria Street in Santa
Barbara with my husband, Tim McCarron because I had received a deposition notice command'ing
me to appear at "McDaniel Court Reporters, 206 E. Victoria St. Santa Barbara" Decl 1,2014-9:30.
A woman who identified herself as Dianna Peirson greeted me upon my arrival at the front desk.
I asked for McDaniel Court Reporters. Mrs. Peirson told me McDaniel Court Reporters had not
occupied office space there since October and had relocated to 21 E. Carrillo Street---downtown.
Before we left she made notations on the first page on my Notice to confum I had timely appeared.
Ms. Peirson later signed a declaration supporting opposition to this motion to confum these facts.

1
DECLARATION OF NANCY DUFFY MCCARRON

3. I also called Sharon McDaniel, co-owner of McDaniel Court Reporters to verify their relocation.
Mrs. McDaniel told me during a telecom that no one fiom HARTIKING law firm had called to engage
a court reporter to appear for any deposition at any time on December 11,2014. She told me the only
similar law firm she had in their attorneyflaw firm database was Hart, King, Coldren in Orange County
I told her the old firm broke up last year and Mr. Coldren is not affiliated with the firm on my notice;
i.e. "HARTIIUNG." Mrs. McDaniel also signed a declaration in support of our opposition to this motic
4. My husband's deposition was also scheduled the same day. (December 1I, 2014 at 1:30 p.m.)
My husband told me he drove over to 21 E. Carrillo (the new location for McDaniel Court Reporters) a
the time listed in a Subpoena for Deposition he received fiom a process server last week at our home.
My husband told me he left a post-it note on the door at 21 E. Camllo Street to let the staff know that h
had showed up at 1:30 pm (as commanded in his deposition) and found no one inside the locked office.
The front door and office were all glass. If aperson were inside they could be seen through the glass.
5.

My deposition notice was not served personally. The notice was delivered by a Fed Ex employee

who regularly leaves packages at my front door on Thursday, Dec 4,2014. I did not see it until eveninl
The fm scheduled it to amve Thursday, to thwart my ability to research complex issues for three
deponents, including a non-party deponent (my husband). Since the depos were only 5 days later, and
the code requires objections to be served 3 "business days" before the appearance objections would ha\
to be served Friday (by personal delivery to the firm) when I did not even see them until Thursday nigh
6. It was nearly physically impossible to research legal issues and prepare objections for 3 deponents.

I was forced to do the best I could and FAXED them to the law office on Friday, Dec 5,2014 and also
delivered them to the post office at 6 p.m. in 2-day mail, which was to deliver them by hand Monday,
December 8,2014 which was 3 business days before the depositions, in addition to being faxed 12/5/12
Attached herein to my declaration is my confirmation that objections were faxed on 12/5/14 and that
hard copies of deposition objections were hand delivered to HartlKing on Monday, 12/8/14 at 8:31 a m ,
which was 3 davs before commencement of depos. Deliverv bv mail carrier counts as oersonal service

USC v. Weiss (1962) 208 CA2d. 759,769. see also Colyear v. Tobriner (1936) 7 Cal.2d. 735.
[McCarron decl.Exh. C-UPS confirmation shows objections were delivered by camer 12/5/12 8:31 am
see also Exhibit D herein-a

fax confmation showing objections were faxed to the firm on 1215114--

I notified Mr. Egan a mammography was scheduled for me in Santa Barbara on 12/10/14 - making it

impossible for me to attend Shipley's deposition even if it were authorized under discovery statutes.
Evidence shows the deposition notices were used as a fraudulent tool to seek monetary sanctions.

2
DECLARATION OF NANCY DUFFY MCCARRON

. F i y , the depositions of Shipley and McCanon include notice to bring certain documents as well
h e list of documents is the SAME documents plaintiff demanded at previous depos already delivered.
'he fact that the new requests were nearly identical to the first request for documents in 2012 shows
here are no additional issues not addressed in the fust round of extended depositions in 2012.

I spent 16 hours working on opposition to this motion. Eight hours were used to benefit myself.

Cight hours were used to benefit my client Bonnie Shipley. My rate is $350 per hour --- the same rate

h.Williamson bills Stubbefield for work on the same case against the identical parties. The total bili
or hours to benefit Shipley is $2,800 (8 hours) which I ask the court to award as sanctions for discover
buse as set forth in Points & Authorities in the opposition to this motion.

I declare the above statements are true under penally of ptrjury. Exccuted in Santa Barbara on

Iecember 16,2014.

re: DEMAND TO ENFORCE
COURT RULES & CODES
CONFIDENTIAL - PART 1

Dear Ms. Slough:


I realize you just returned today after a leave or vacation since February 23, 2015.
Unfortunatelv. vou must act immediatelv to address the abuses occurring in vour courts.
I am sure that you have already reviewed the complaint I submitted to the county and city
about Stubblefield's continued corruption & intimidation of public officials, including bribing
arson investigators and battalion chiefs to falsify arson reports to cover up criminal conduct.
Stubblefield advertises his love of money by wearing it in pictures posted on facebook. (Exh. A).
Apparently, Stubblefield's intimidation of judicial officers continues to infect your courts.
WE DEMAND AN ANSWER IN WRITING TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTION?
DOES MONEY MAN STUBBLFIELD CONTROL ALL O F YOUR COURTS & STAFF?
It certainly appears so.? &
Every time we file a pleading in Fontana F7 the clerks review our proof of service ~i&o~rously.
They even require my husband to sign the bottom of my proofs of service telliiizme-theyhave
to require a "third party" to sign it because I am a "party defendant" even though the motions
and oppositions are filed for Bonnie Shipley, and I am her attorney of record. On the other
hand, these same clerks are now accepting pleadings from HART I KING law firm without any
proof of service at all, and setting his motions on 24 hour notice where there is no emergency!
A bogus so-called "emergency" exparte motion was filed in F7 for a "restraining order" against
me on 2/18/15 without anv roof of service or notice t o m . I did not even discover there was a
hearing until after the hearing already occurred. Judge Lily Sinfield had enough sense to see
through this fraud on the court and must have realize no bar member would fail to appear or
oppose a motion for a permanent restraining order against her free speech. She DENIED it.
Even after the frivolous motion was denied the firm still r e f ~ ~ s etod serve me with the papers.
I had to send a runner to seek out Supervisor Amanda T a m ~ e r o nto get a copy of the papers,
which the firm never served to date. WE DEMAND THAT YOU STOP THIS ABUSE NOW!
-

Less than a week later, HART I KING filed yet another frivolous so-called "emergenc_V1'
exparte motion in Judge Sachs' court (S-28) on 24-hour notice setting it for 8:30 tomorrow,
without anv proof of service. The firm ignored my 2 emailo dsmanding papers to be served.
They are being trained, like Pavlov's dogs, to continue this abuse because your staff rewards
them by continuing to accept these ex parte motions where there is no "emergency" and with
NO PROOF OF SERVICE. Even if it were an emergency there is no excuse for not serving!
CRC 2.117 requires all papers filed in court to be served
on all parties to the action. (Exh. B)
*

Please consider this a demand that you carry out your duties as presiding judge.
It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to control San Bernardino Judges and court staff.
YOU MUST STOP THIS ABUSE NOW!
We demand that you circulate notices to all judges and court staff that they cannot accept
motion papers under anv circumstances without executed proofs of service attached thereon.
(except in cases of domestic violence where it would be too dangerous to give notice).

WE DElMAND TO KNOW WHY YOUR CLERKS AND JUDGES ARE ALLOWING


STUBBLEFIELD'S LAWYERS TO FILE EX PARTE MOTIONS WHERE THERE IS NO
EMERGENCY AND WITHOUT ANY PROOFS OF SERVICE ATTACHED TO THEM?
You know this is a blatant violation of due process. Yet, your staff is training these lawyers
like Pavlov's dogs, that they will continue to reward their illegal and unethical conduct by
continuing to set ex parte motions where no emergency exists and without serving me at all!
Secondly, we demand an answer as to why you continue to allow Judge Brodie to prosecute
this action against me where there is NO JURISDICTION and why you're Appellate Division
Judges are sitting on a writ I filed on February 17, 2015 where no opposition was ever filed.
Has Stubblefield been told that he need not oppose writs as all of them will be denied for him,
regardless of the law? WE DEMAND THEY APPLY THE LAW AND TRANSFER THIS CASE.
I already emailed you about my righteous writ petition which your judges are sitting on! Why?
Why can't they just apply the law even if it means ruling against the almighty billionaire!
The unethical HART I KING firm continues to vex and harass us, enabled by your staff.
I set a renewed motion for attorney fees in Judge Sachs' department on 3/18/15at 8:30 a.m.
Yesterday this unethical firm intentionally, and with malice, scheduled two bogus motions to
compel with sanctions on the SAME DAY in Judge Brodie's court in Fontana 3/18/15a t 8:00.
I cannot be in 2 physical locations a t the same time although they can with 2 different lawyers!
These are two frivolous motions (filed for no other reason than to harass us) against innocent
third parties who have nothing to do with whether Bonnie Shipley can be my co-resident.
(my handyman Steve Allen and his ex-wife). They have nothing to do with this. See Exh. C
This is vet another reason whv vou cannot allow this case to be prosecuted in Fontana.
There is no jurisdiction in Fontana as damages sought exceed $25,000. You must transfer it!
We expect a response in writing as to what you intend to do to carry out your duties.
If you do nothing, we will file a new complaint with Kamala Harris and ask her office to
investigate yet another massive corruption in San Bernardino now infecting the courts!

Dear Ms. Slough:

WE DEMAND YOU IMMEDIATELY GO DOWN TO 5-28 AND STOP THIS FRAUD


Attached are Exhibits A-D proving the hearing a t 8:30 in S-28 is a complete fraud!
I t violates CA Rules of Court, and Local Rule 731.1 (as cited above and shown in Exh. D)
A- Shows right before noon (1136 am) I emailed Hart\King demanding a copy of the papers
they filed in your court (cover page shown a t Exh. B)
Exh. A also shows despite notice at noon they intentionally withheld emailing me
The 52-page motion until 3:00 p.m (after court closed to preclude filing opposition)
B- Shows YOUR CLERK accepted a 52-page motion WITHOUT a PROOF of SERVICE
violating CRC 1.21, 2.117 Local Rule 731.1 proves she accepted it before NOON
WITHOUT ANY PROOF O F SERVICE ATTACHED SHOWING SERVICE ON ME
C- This is the LAST page of the 52 page motion showing NO PROOF OF SERVICE
Although it complied with CRC 3.1203 (notice by 10 am) it FAILED TO COMPLY
With CRC 1.21 and 2.117 and combined with Local Rule 731.1
D- Shows all rules of court and local rule VIOLATED
If you do not go down to S-28 and STOP THIS FRAUD ON THE COURT I WILL HOLD
YOU RESPONSIBLE FOR ALLOWING THIS BLATANT FRAUD ON THE COURT
I WILL FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE GOVERNOR AND W I L L A HARRIS

party is represented.(Subd (a) amended effective January 1,2007.)

party, and on any other person or entity when required by statute, rule, or court order, and that the document and a proof of service of the document
must be filed with the court.(Subd (b) amended effective January 1,2007.)
(c) "Proof of service" As used in these rules, "proof of service" means a declaration stating that service has been made as provided in (a)

Please see Points & Authorities included in the FORMER motion for attorney fees which is being
RENEWED. Counsel called calendar department to schedule RENEWED Motion for Attorney Fees.
Clerk checked with Department S-28 for permission to RENEW the voluminous motion with exhibit tal
and color-coded for ease of review---as opposed to having to COPY it all and file an entirely new set.
The court authorized counsel to RENEW the motion by simply giving NOTICE of RENEWED Motion.
without having to RECOPY the package already submitted which was put on hold pending appeal in
ACIAS 1400026. The Appellate Division issued a remittitur on 2/3/15 and returned jurisdiction to the
trial court after entering an order on 12/22/14 which neither party appealed during the 30 day window.

DECLARATION OF NANCY DUFFY MCCARRON


I am attorney for defendant and make these statements in support of Motion for Attorney Fees.
1. I make these statements based on personal knowledge and can testify to them if called to do so.
2. I downloaded the official court docket in this case, cut and pasted it into an excel spreadsheet,
which I added a few columns on the sides to enter number of hours worked on various tasks in the
case as shown on docket and tasks. It shows prep time (research & writing motions, oppositions,
or replies, or preparing evidence to attach) travel and hearing time, which was usually 4 hours for
each hearing, including traveling ?4hour each way in the morning from Highland, and waiting 2-3
hours in court for the case to be called up, and filing papers, etc.
3. I programmed formulae into certain cells to compute sub-totals, totals, averages, etc.
4. Actually, I spent more time on this cas9 than reflected i:~.the filed spreadsheet on related issues,
and various investigations. I had to decline accepting any other cases to properly litigate this case.
5. The exhibits attached to this motion are true and correct copies which have not been altered,
authenticated by counsel. $350 hour is my regular hourly billing rate, with 20 years of experience.

-2Notice of RENEWED MOTION for Attorney Fees Under MRL 5798.85 as Prevailing Party

6. This is the most litigious and acrimonious lawsuit I have ever been involved with in 20 years
as an attorney, and was more labor intensive than any case I have ever worked on in 20 years.
7. I sent a letter to plaintiffs counsel as soon as he served Shipley with a 5-day Notice to Vacate,
explaining that he could not evict her on a forcible detainer case because Stubblefield was not in
privity of contract with Shipley and he was not a purchaser under Civil Code 5798.75
I spent 80 more hours (60 research-20 writing) on opposing the Writ Petition to the 4th.Circuit
Court of Appeals. Division 2. which was denied on 7119113.
I spent another 90 hours (65 research-25 writinn, printing. collating & binding 20 copies)
opposing the Writ of Review to the Supreme Court. Court Rules required submission of original +
13 copies, and service on all 3 lower courts and parties. The Writ of Review was denied 8/14/13.
8. Counsel & plaintiff were fully aware of potential for significant attorney fees on continued appeal.
9. Because plaintiff defrauded the court, defendant, and her counsel by inserting the words "or
resident" into the final judgment which the court allowed plaintiff to submit (over defendant's
vehement objections) defendant was forced to prosecute yet another appeal to get those words
stricken from the final judgment entered by the court.
10. I received notice of order entered12/22/14 in ACIAS 1400026, and a remittitur issued 2/3/15,
noting the decision is final and returning jurisdiction to the trial court.
11. I called the court calendar department to schedule a RENEWED MOTION for attorney fees.

I talked to court clerk Sulma. She set the motion for March 18,2015 at 8:30 a.m. in S-28.
She said 3118115 was the first date Judge Sachs had an opening to schedule a motion to be heard.

I explained that I had already filed a very lengthy, detailed motion (color-coded for easy review)
with multiple tabs, etc. and requested permission to use the motion already filed as the operating
motion for the March 18,2015 hearing. She checked with the court who approved the request.
Accordingly, the court will review the detailed motion already on file. Opposition will be due per
code. Reply will be due per code. The court will hear the motion on March 18,2015.
12. I declare under penalty of perjury the above statements, and those made in the motion, are true.
Executed in Santa Barbara, CA on the date below.

by trying to go around what the law says. And unlawful


detainer is very clear that a defendant is not allowed to file
any cross-complaint or anything.

They're not allowed, which is

one of the reasons why I made a motion to transfer to a higher


jurisdiction.

Because possession was involved.

You have to look at what's the typical case, your


Honor.

Typically, when it's an unlawful detainer it's because

I own the property, that tenant is renting from me, and that
tenant is not paying the rent, and I'm losing money every day
because I have to pay the mortgage and blah, blah, blah, and
they're living there free.
So the court provides what they call a summary
proceeding where I can get them out in 30 days.

I set a

hearing -THE COURT:

Let me interrupt, please.

MS. DUFFY MC CARRON:


THE COURT:

Let me interrupt, please.

MS. DUFFY MC CARRON:


THE COURT:

Sure.

Sure.

We've gone down this road.-

MS. DUFFY MC CARRON:


THE COURT:

But it's not the same --

Okay.

In this circumstance, I understand

there's no cross-complaint.

But the answer that you filed is

not a property claim as contemplated by 405.31.

I'm granting

the motion expunging the lis pendens.


I'm going to ask the moving party to prepare an
order.

And I'm denying the motion for attorneys' fees at this

Lr,

pending.

And under Peery v. Superior Court, 29 Cal.3d 837,


1981, it says that when there is a lis pendens filed on a case,
if there is an appeal that lis pendens must remain on the
property through all levels of the appeal.
And I bring that up only because it wasn't in my
brief the first time because the first time we hadn't filed an
appeal on the final judgment, which we have.

So now, Peery

becomes relevant because of this appeal that was filed last


month.
Also, there's several Supreme Court cases that I
cited.

They're also old.

Just as you said, they're old

Supreme Court cases, but they clearly have validity.

And the

one I'm going to quote from is from 1890, like your case, very
old but has not been overruled, and that's Drinkhouse v. Spring
Valley Water Works.

And it says that "any leasehold is an

estate in land and to hold that a leasehold does not affect the
right to possession is unreasonable as a matter of law."
That case was also cited in an appellate case in 1970
entitled Parker v. Superior Court, 9 Cal.App.3d 397.
again, citing that old case, Parker said that the

And

-- the same

thing, that any leasehold is an estate in land, and it's


appropriate.

It doesn't matter whether the plaintiff or the

defendant filed the action.


If there is any dispute as to a leasehold or the
right to possess land, that the lis pendens is appropriate only

CCP 9405.31. Underlvin~action not containing real property claim


In proceedings under this chapter, the court shall order the notice expunged if the court finds that the pleading on which the
notice is based does not contain a real property claim. The court shall not order an undertaking to be given as a condition of
expunging the notice where the court finds the pleading does not contain a real property claim.
CCP 9405.4. Real propertv claim
Real property claim means the cause or causes of action in a pleading which would, if meritorious, affect (a) title to. or the
right to possession of. specific real property or (b) the use of an easement identified in the plea$ing, other than an easement
obtained pursuant to statute by any regulated public utility.
CCP 9405.1. Claimant
Claimant means a ~ a r t vto an action who asserts a real property claim and records a notice of the pendency of the action.
Civil 947. Privileged publication or broadcast
A privileged publication or broadcast is one made:
(a) In the proper discharge of an official duty.
(b) In any (1) legislative proceeding, (2) judicial proceeding, (3) in any other official proceeding authorized by law,

(commencing with Section 1084) of Title 1 of Part 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, except as follows:
(4) A recorded lis pendens is not a privileged publication unless it identifies an action ~reviouslvfiled with a

Kirkeby v. Superior Court (2004) 33 C.4th 642,647


'A lis pendens is a recorded document giving constructive notice that an action has been filed affecting title or right to
possession of the real property described in the notice.' [Citation.] A lis pendens may be filed by any party in an action who
asserts a 'real property claim.' (Code Civ. Proc.. 405.20.) Section 405.4 defines a ' "Real property claim" ' as 'the cause or
causes of action in a pleading which would, if meritorious, affect (a) title to, or the right to possession of, specific real
property . ..' "Kirkeby v. Supr Court (2004) 33 C.4th 642,647
"We reject Alpha's interpretation of subdivision (b)(4) of Civil Code section 47. In discerning the Legislature's intent, we
look to the words of the statute, 'assigning them their usual and ordinary meanings, and construing them in context. If the
words themselves are not ambiguous, we presume the Legislature meant what it said, and the statute's plain meaning
governs.' [Citations.] [I The language of subdivision (b)(4) of Civil Code, section 47 is not ambiguous and in any event is
not reasonably susceptible to a construction that would create an additional exception to the absolute litigation privilege
based on the lack of 'evidentiary merit' of a claimant's real property claim in connection withearecorded lis pendens."
(Alpha & Omega, supra, 200 Cal.App.4th at pu. 666667.)
(8) We believe this analysis of the privilege statute is correct. Civil Code, section 47(b)(4) does not contain a lack of"
'evidentiary merit' " exception to the litigation privilege, and it would be improper for us to insert what the
Legislature has plainly omitted. (Alpha & Omega, supra, 200 Cal.A~p.4that DV. 666; see 1858[court's role is to
declare terms of a statute, not to "insert what has been omitted"].) (9)" 'It is a prime rule of construction that the
legislative intent underlying a statute must be ascertained from its language; if the language is clear, there can be no room
for interpretation, and effect must be given to its plain meaning. "An intent that finds no expression in the words of the
statute cannot be found to exist. The courts may not speculate that the legislature meant something other than what it said.
Nor may they rewrite a statute to make it express an intention not expressed therein." ' [Citation.]" Moreover, we believe
that if the Legislature had intended to erect an evidentiary hurdle or create an exception to the privilege based on lack of
evidentiary merit, it would have said so. Since the Legislature did not do so, we are not at liberty to insert what has been
omitted. For these reasons, we reject appellants' proposition that the availability of the litigation privilege to a recorded

Your File: 119658 (McCarron, Shipley & Allen)
Judge Michael A. Sachs (added to claim)
Claim is amended to over $25,000

Dear Mr. Castanon:


I received your March 16, 2015 letter. Please consider this a n amendment to claim 119658.
We are adding Judge Michael A. Sachs to our claim. The judicial abuse and corruption we
have cndured in his kangaroo court since Feb 10, 2012 caused me to seriously consider naming
him with Brodie. Sachs is sneakier and more subtle in his corruption so I didn't name him.
However, Sachs' callous acts this week exceeded the bounds of a civilized society, causing me
to amend to name Sachs. If Sachs is not removed from our case by 3/26/15, and all of his void
orders vacated, wo will seek punitive damages in our racketeering case to be filed this April.
I believe a federal jury would be so outraged they might award millions against Judge Sachs.
On Friday 3/13/15 I called Kay Lewis residing judge Marsha Slough's assistant) and Judge
Sachs' deputy Mary Kilgorc to notify them about the very tragic and untimely death of my
younger brother, whose daughter and wife were murdered a few years ago by her ex-boyfriend.
This was the thirdhorrifying tragedy in our immediate family which has been devastating.
I also told them my diabetic daughter was rushed to the emergency room in a semi-coma state.
With these two tragic events I needcd a few weeks to grieve the death of my brother and help
my daughter's family in a time of crisis. I faxed a 2-page "Notice o f UnavailabiIity o f Counsel'
with a n incorporated Notice ofPreempto~yChallenge to Judge Sachs, under CCP 2170.6 (a)(2).
(see Exhibit A - a t end see mail priority confirmation proving Sachs received papers 3/13/15.)
Judge Alvarez postponed a 12/17/12 trial date to 1/10/13 when Tom Parish's stepson died. Our
case was transferred from Judge Brodie's UD court in Fontana to S28 in the Justice Center last
week to be consolidated with the first case which we won in 2013. The case is still pending
because we had to appeal the judgment Sachs entered against our interest, and because Judge
Sachs has done everything in his power to delay and thwart awarding mandatory attorney fees.
Stubblefield's lawyer (Williamson) had just pummeled me with 3 motions (on 5-days' notice).
In UD court discovery motions are brought on 5 days' notice. CCP 21170.8. Opposing party may
file written opposition a day before hearing or present opposition orally a t the hearing. see
CRC 3.1347. The first motion was 52 pages; the second one 102 pages; the third 129 pages.
With the unexpected death of my brother and my daughter's emergency hospitalization, it was
humanly impossible to research the issues addressed in 183 pages of motions and arguments,
and prepare written opposition. I was so overcome with grief and worry over my daughter,
that I could barely function last week and was in no condition to try to perform the impossible.
Exh. A shows Sachs received my Notice Monday, 3/13/15, I-Ie knew I could not He opposition
the day before the 3/18/15 hearing. Any unbiased judge would have continued everything!

oral argument from a malicious opposing party,


Any unbiased judge would refuse to hear
showing up to take full advantage of counsel's physical and mental impairment in her time
of severe grief over the death of her brother and worry over the near death of her daughter.
Instead, evil Sachs showed his true colors. He is a hcartless monster without a conscience.
Attached as Exhibit B is the rulings he made on 3/18/15 while I was not there to rebut the lies.
Here are excerpts from the callous Judge with the heart of a grcat white shark:

"Court addresses filng of a CCP 170.6 filed by defendant against Judge Sachs is DEMED."
"Court treats Notice of Unavailability o f Counsel submitted by attorney McCarmn as a request
for antinuance. Matter is continued due to attorney McCarron's emergency situation. Court
h u e due dates for fine of ouvasition."
notes no opposition to motion filed. Cto-ur
What kind of a callous monster would make such a ruling, where movant filed 183 pages of
motion papers on 5 days' notice, when he knows she is physically, emotionally, and mentally
unable to cope duc to two immediate family tragedies. Sachs has a malignant, evil heart.
This is not the first time Judge Sachs has acted with a malignant heart and zero compassion.
On May 6, 2013 the AppelIatc Division granted Bonnie Shipley's writ petition and reversed
the biased trial court's denial of summary judgment every judge knew was a sham complaint.
For 2 years Judge Sachs (Stubblefield's chore boy) has thwarted my ability to collect attorney
fees which are mandatory under Mobile Home Residcncy Law to every MRL prevailing party.
First, after the writ of mandate arrived in the trial court Judge Alvarez recused himself a t my
request because bias is presumed when a judge's decision is reversed. (see Exh. A; exh. A)
The case was transferred to Sachs, who was a more vigorous.advocatc for Stubblefield then his
own half-competent lawyers. Sachs proceeded to engage in g n e serial violations of statutes,
scparation of powers, Rules of Court, Stare Decisis, and Codes of Procedures (see Exh. C) even
going so far as to insert the words "or resident" into a statute Stubblefield quoted in the final
judgment Sachs let the loser prepare, instead of prevailing party a s required by CRC 3.1312.
We have encountered only 2 unbiased judges who actually applied the law; i.e. Judge
Ochoa and Judge Brisco, who authored the Appellate Division's 10-page Decision and Writ
of Mandate directing the trial court to cnter judgment in Bonnie Shipley's favor. The court
immediately pulled them off the Appellate Panel, and replaced them with Judge Hosking, the
Judge who "dissented in the ruling. With a chore-boy on t.he Appellate Panel Stubblefield is
home free. They wiLl never assign either of the two honest judgcs to us. They will only assign
judges who will rule against us no matter what the law, rules of court, or codes of procedure.
Sachs not only let the loser compose final judgment, but even went one step furthcr.
Sachs inserted the words "or resident" into tho final judgment to provide a remedy for
Stubblefield to evict Bonnie Shipley directly, contravening what Appellate Panel mandated.
Stubblefield's lawyer then delivered the debaucbedjudgment directly to his chambers.
Sachs entered the judgment before I had an opportunity to evcn sce it, let alone object to it.
When Shipley tried to hand deliver objections the next day Judge Sachs refused to file them,
stating objections were "late" as he had "signed the judgment already." This violated Local
Rule 591.3 requiring all judges to hold a final judgment for 10 days to allow for objections.
Shipley was forced to appeal her own victory to prevent abuse by using the debauched
judgment to steal mobile homes from residents at Mountain Shadows Community.
2

Shipley dropped off her objections which Sachs refused to accept in his Kangaroo Court.
The new Appellate Division Panel (Sachs' lunch buddies) DENIED Shipley's motion to augment
the record with her objections, opening the door for Stubblefield to argue we waived objections.
Sachs lunch buddies on the Appellate Panel had to order Sachs to strike the words "orresident."
They found his nine serial violations to be "harmless"and chastised me for daring to argue
bias---makinga subtle threat that such arguments "bordered on contempt of court." Incredible!
Sachs' nine serial violations were hardly "harmled' to us. We had to pay $175 for a transcript.
Sachs was able to thwart my ability to receive any attorney fee award for another six months.
I had to spend hundreds of hours researching issues, writing Opening and Reply briefs, and
attending oral argument in San Bernardino, including travel costs. Sachs loves revenge.
Perhaps a federal jury will have the last say on Sachs' campaign to punish and degrade me.
It would take hundreds of pages to show all of the blatant violations of judicial ethics, not
to mention gender discrimination (calling me Ma'am while addressing Williamson as "counsel").
The final showing of a malignant heart is how Sachs treated Bonnie Shipley this past summer.
Stubblefield exhausted all appeals a s high as California Supreme Court, and lost them all.
Once the concept of possibly having to pay my attorney fees for 3 years became a reality,
Stubblefield tried to burn us out of the mobile home. The electrical pedestal and gas meter on
the side of our home caught fire. The neighbor who saw the fire start up, and another who ran
over to help save our home extinguished the fire with their bare hands, water and extinguisher.
Both witnesses said it started in the electric pedestal, which was under park manager's control.
We had no gas, electric, telephone or DSL. The park manager refused to replace the meters.
We filed an emergency ex parte hearing to ask Sachs to order utilities restored to the home.
(see Exhibit D) D-1 is priorty mail confirmation Sachs received the papers on Friday 9/5/14.
Yet, when we showed up Monday morning (918114) Judge Sachs played his cute little game of
reciting they "neverrcceivedthepapem." Attorney Williamson was not there. I am sure Sachs
had his deputy call to telI him not to bother driving over as he would continue it to Tuesday.
We had to stay overnight and return Tuesday, at Williamson's whim and total convenience.
Sachs DENIED our motion (Exh. D 1) while temperatures exceeded 105 degrees. I had to pay
$3,000 to restore utilities to our home. I asked if Bonnie could relievc herself from the extreme
heat by sitting in the air-conditioned clubhouse and going in a swimming pool. THE ANSWER
WAS "NO, SHE I S NOT AN APPROVED RESIDENT OF THE PARK SO SHE C N T GO.
Judge Sachs was fully aware that Bonnie was caring for.her bother, who has stage 4 cancer,
undergoing chemotherapy, radiation and proton therapy to try to save his life, and her mother
who suffered congcstive heart failure and could not care for her son or drive him to therapy.
Both Sachs and Williamson arc malignant hearts who have zero compassion for anyone.
Sachs may enjoy all the power he can hoard over us in his black robe and guard with a gun.
Some day Sachs will have to face a higher force on judgmcnt day and try to justify his cruelty.
I could write pages about all the unfair treatment and gender bias abuse from Judge Sachs.
The transfer of the Duffy case to Judge Sachs for "consolidation" is so he can deny my fecs
again, by claiming he needs to wait for the outcome of the "related case." I am not retarded!
This scam is transparent. We wonder many thousands Stubblefield laundered into Sachs'
"judicial campaign fund." We have no chance for a n ounce of justice in his kangaroo court.

McCarron expects the same equal treatment from this court which was extended to Stubblefield when his
lawyer filed "Notice of Unavailability" due to two "compelling circumstances" (death in family & sickness also).
(See Exh. A). Judge Alvarez immediately continued all hearings for an entire month for "family emergencies."
Accordingly, the 2 hearings set for March 18 against Steve &Christine Allen, as well as the hearing set March 19
against Bonnie Shipley must be vacated and no other hearings be set until after April 3,2015 to afford McCarron
her time to grieve the tragically premature dcath of her younger brother & to deal with her daughter's emergency.

MOTION BY AFFIDAVIT FOR DISQUALIFICATION OF JUDGE SACHS ON BOTH CASES


NANCY DUFFY MCCARRON, being duly sworn, deposes and says:

She is attorney for the named parties, and both non-parties to the within action (or special proceeding). That Judg

Sachs, who has been assigned to preside over both consolidated cases cited above now pending, is prejudiced
against the party (or his or her attorney) or the interest of the party (or his or her attorney) so that affiant cannot

10

or believes helshe cannot have a fair and impartial trial or hearing before the judge, under CCP 170.6 (a)(2)

11

"A motion under this paragraph may be made following reversal on appeal of a trial court's decision, or
following reversal on appeal of a trial court's final judgment, if the trial judge in the prior proceeding is
assigned to conduct a new trial on the matter. Notwithstanding paragraph (4), the party who filed thc
appeal that resulted in the reversal of a final judgment of a trial court may make a motion under this
section regardless of whether that party or side has previously done so. The motion shall be made
within 60 days after the party or the party's attorney has been notified of the assignment.

Non-parties Steve & Christine Allen join in this Motion to Disqualify as to their imarouer motions.

I Presiding Judge is required to reassign both consolidated cases to a new judge who is not afraid to appl!

the law and rule against the almighty Stubblefield when mandated by Stare Decisis & who is not afraid
to enforce m
v
,Rules of Court, Civil Procedures fairly and equally to both parties in the litigation.
Judicial Estoppel [as amply explained in Jackotr v. v. County ofLos Angeles (1997) 60 CA.4th 1711
precludes Stubblefield from opposing disqualification because he already gained an advantage by havin
his denial of disqualification reversed on a writ by making the identical claim McCanon makes above.
see Stubblefield v. Superior Court of Sun Bernardino County (2000) 81 CA 4'h. 762 (Exhibit B)
Accordingly, wc request the presiding judge to immediately disqualify Judge Sachs, vacate all
motions which may be reset after April 3,2015 on 16 day notice in the court of a newly assigned judgc
Oppositions to 3 motions will be filed after the motions have been reset on Drover notice per CCP $100:

Judge. *)

Retired judge of the former San Bemardino Municipal Court, West Valley Division, assigned by the C h i e f l ~ i c pe u m t to artiele VI, pertion 6 of the
California Constitution.
The Court of Appeal granted plaintiffs' petition for a writ of mandate. The wurt held that, given the policy r e m n s for the 1985 amendments to Code
Civ. Pmc., 5 170.6, subd. (2). i.e.. the potential for biw an the part ofthe trial judge who had k e n reversed, plaint& had the I+&
to disqualify the
judge, even though they had previously exercised meh a challenge. Tke court also held that plaintiff? motion wss timely. Although Gov. Code, 8 68616,
subd. (i) (fast Uack rules), limits a p W s exereire of a peremptoryehallenge to the 15d a r j following the first appearance. this pmvision only applies
whm the rssignment of an all-plrrpose or direct calendarjudge is made simultaneously with the aeeepmee of the complaint for filing.
Thus, Gov. Code. 9 68616, has no applicaion when a judgment has been reversed on appeal and refilmed to the vial eourt for reaid. Instead, the m d a y
pmvision of Code Civ. Pmc., 5 170.6, contmlled. (Opinion by Gaut, Aeting P. I., with Riehli and Ward,JJ., eoneurring.)

(81 Cd. App. 4th 7631 (97 Cal. Rptr. Zd 123) GAUT, Aeting P. 1.
In thin muter we aq as happens far too ofleu, Eancd upon to reconcile and auempt to harmonize two stnrutes which strenuously resist any effort to make
sen= of them. Ofme two possible results argued by the panics, neither is either mmpelled or compelling. Nevertheless, in our {81 cal. ~ p p4th
. 764)
view the eonelusion we reaeh wmpot'ts best with the intent of the Legislahue as we understand it and does the 1- violence to the English language.
We find that petitioners' attempt to disqualify the trial judge wan t h e w and that the hial court erred in findhg otherwise.
'Ihe facts of the underlying case arc not signilimt Earlier proceedings resulted in a summary judgmmt in favor of real pmiw in infwest the Ciw of San
~ e d i nd
o related dekndan4 (hereinafter City). However, on appeal by pefitioners SNbbletieM ConJtrueiion Co. a al. (hcminaffer Srubblefield),
we reversed the summaryjudgment in pan and remanded for fuitha pmceedings. Our opinion was filed on June 29.1999, and theminihlr was
rcccived by the trial wurt on August 3 1 of that year.
On Sepiember 17. the clwk of the wurt notified the W i e s thnt the ease had been m i m e d to the Honomblc Christopher J. Wmer for all purposes.
Judge W m e r had, in fact,made the ruling which led to the latest appeal and partial revernal. On October 29, Stubblefleld filed a pmmmory ehallenge to
Judge Wamer pmuant to Code Of Civil Pmeedure, seetion 170.6, and the City filed an objection b a d on untimeliness The court susuained the C i y s
objeciion and refused to disqualify iaelf This petition followed and we stayed funher p m d i w pending our resolution of the matter.
DISCUSSION
(1)(1) Stubblrtield relier upon Code Of CivilProeedurenection 170.6,subdivlsion (2). In pertinent part this statuk providm that " [a] motion
under this paragraph may be made fallowing rwersal on appeal o i a trial court's dslslon, o r iollowlng reversal au appeal of a trlal court's final
judgmenb if the trial judge in the prior proceeding is aasigncd to eonducta new trial on the mam. Notwithstanding paragraph (3) of this s e c f i o ~the

,/Of

,
To this, the City raises two arguments: I) that Stubblefield, having previously filed a ehallcnge under Code ofcivil Proesdurc, section 170.6, is not
entitled to file another, w d 2) that the case is governed by sepaate, and shorter, t h e limits established in the Govemmenl Code. We a d d m these
w m ~ f sop&y.
s
(81 Cal. App. 4th 765) A.
First, the City argues that Stubbleiield may not exereise its right to cballcnge Judge Wamer bemuse it previwsly exercised sueh a challenge. I Although
as a (97 CaI. Rpb: 2d 124) mle a party is limited to a single peremptory ehallenge in a gse,as sd forth above, the statute elearly permits an addillonel
following reversal of ajudgment if the same judge is nssigned to hear the cau; on remand. However, the City argues that because the
proccdings were terminad by summary judgment, rather than by judgment &trial, the remand will not result in anew lrial but in a first Wial. Henez,
the argument runs, the exeeptim to the "one ehallcnge" rule does not apply.
The contention is meritless. It is quite hue, as the City argues, that the exception does not spply to all pmeeedings after remand by the cant o f ~ p p e a l .
In Stcgs Investment. v. Superior Court (1991) 233 Cal. App. 3d 572.576 1284 Cal. Rpv. 4951 (hereinafter S t e p Investmmts), the wmt q w s d the
view that the disqualieation right would not apply if the remand was for a "ministerial" purpose, such as calculating interest However, the cowl painted
out hat the pup.% of the provision, enacted in 1985 at a time when it was common to reasign the trial judge to the remanded cn% was to address the
"concern. . that a judge who bed been mversed might prove to be biased agalnst the party who succurfully a p p l e d the judge', erroneous
ruling a t the original trial." (Id. at pp. 575376.) Accordingly, as the wwr explained. a party may disqualify the former judge w s l g n e d to the
case if the ease involves m actual re(rinl of one or more issues.
Stegs Investments, supra. 233 Cal. App. 3d 572, was followed in Hendershot v. Superior Court (1993) 20 Cal. App. 4th 860 124 CaL Rpk.2d 6451,
whieh, in defining "new trial," relied on the "very broad" application of the phrase in Code of Civil Pmedu* section 656. (See also Carney v.
Simmonds (1957) 49 Cal. 2d84,90-91 13 13 P.2d 3051.) It k also weU reeognid Lhata molion for new trid may properly b c n d d m ~ e dto a summary
judgment rendered under Code of Civil Proeedure, section 437c. (Seoll v. Farm (1983) 139 Cal. App. 3d 462,467 [I88 CaL Rptr. 8231; see alsu
Passavanti v. Williams (1990) 225 Cal. App. 3d 1602, 1606 [275 Cal.RpW. 8871.)
Thus, the proceedingr contemplated by our remand will be a new Uial within the meaning of Cade of Civil Proeedure seecion 170.6. mMivision (81 Cat.
of the matter in this case, a final judgment was entaed. Our parrial reversal requires that the case be

procedure, seetion 170.6. It k
We mrn now to the more difficult auestion-whether Stubblefield exercised that rieht in a timely f d i o n . B.
Thi Ciry's responsc to ~mbbkficld'sreliance on the time provisions of &&of ~yvil~ r o c c d u ksection 170.6 is to point to h i a l l y canvary provisions
in Govcmmem Ccds secfion68616, subdivision (i). That sIamtc is pan orthe Tria Court Delay Reduction A d and wplies to all ca% falling under that
act (commonlv known as Mtrack mas). as thisone docs. The l&eume on whieh the Citv relies orovides hat "~o&ithstandin~
Seelion 170.6 ofthe
(97'~al.~pn..ld 125) Code of Civil dm in direct e a l e n d m ~ u ~challengcs
s.
p u r s k t to tiat section shall be exercised shin I5 dayoofthe
p a w s firs impearwee. M&-tercalcnd.w mrls shall be governed solely
. by. Section 170.6 of the Code of Civil Procedure.' (Italics added.) This case
invilves a d<& eakndar assignment.
The d d c effen of an unadorned reading of this provision is immediately apparent. If the direct calendar assignment is rnadc more Lan 15 days after a
p a q s first Bppearaacc in the caw, that patty would ncva have the right to exercise e peremptory ehallenge. It would also n e d y mew that a
peremptory challenge could ncver be exercised after an appeal md remand, because all parties would have long since made a tint appearance.
Nevertheless, his was the conshuetion argued by the real party in interest in Fight for the Rams v. Superior Court (1 996) 41 Cal. App. 4th 953 148 Cal.
Rptr. 2d 8511 @ereinafterFight for the RsmS). In thzd care, the plaintiff filed suit (&us appearing) on February 15, but an all-purpare nssipment (or
dircet calendar assignment) was not made until May 4. The plaintiff then filed a peremptory challenge on May 1 2 The vial wurt denied it as (81 Cal.
App. 4th 767) untimely, and when the plaintiff sought review by extraordinary wit, the defendant argued that due to the timing neither side had MY
right to aperemptory challenge.
The appellete wurt had no d a c u l t y in rejecting this mntention in revming the trial m u t t instead, the wurt held that "Government Code seetion 68616.
subdivision (I) unambiguously requires a pariy to uereisea p m m p m y ehdlenge 'within 15 days of the pert)rs first appearanee' in a dinet ealendnr
mutt" (Fight for the Ratm, supra. 41 Cal. App. 4th al p. 958, italies added.) In the eourt's implicit view, n trid court does not b m m e a d i e calendar
court until a direct eelendat assignment is made, and it is only at that time that a party makes its first appearance in that murt and the h e in which a
peremptory challenge must be made begins to w. 3 A similar mult was reachcd in Cybermedi% suprn, 72 Cal. App. 4th 910, whieh bvohed a case in
which the assigned all-pu~pmejudgewas revlaeed by anotherjudge. Without referring to Fight for the Rams, suma, 41 Cal. App. 4th 953. and
expressing the intent to "harmonize' Code of Civil Procedure, section 170.6 with Govmment Codc section 68616, suMivislon (i), the wurt k p l y
stated that "whsre, as here, apmty has already appeared m the action, il must file its challmge within 15 days of receiving notie of a change in the
individual falexdar judge assigned to the case." 4 (Cybermedin, supra, 72 Cal. &D. 4th at o. 913.)
r ~-~~
The City here does not argue that Stubblefield had no rightto e x s s e aperemptbjchal~en~e
foilowing the remand, but argues by w o g y h m Fight
for the R a m supra, 4 1 Cal. App. 4th 953, that it had only 15 days from the date Judge W m e r was wigned the csse aftn r m m d . The City argues t h a
x the East track rulcs are desigued to (97Cal. Rptr. 2d 126) limit delay, it is '"absurd"to sllppose that the rules would require a petty to make a
peremptory ehallenge at the beginning of the ease within I5 day$ but allow four times as long in whieh to ehallmge ajudge reassigned to the case after
remand
This position h x substantial appeal. The problem is that, on its face, the Govcmmmt Code provision s e e m to apply to all possible situations, b w if (81
Cal. App. 4th 768) so, its use of the pnrty's first appearance as the trigger date is singularly poorly ehoseh Fight for h e Ram& supra, 41 CaL App. 41h

situation would e V K be presented: the immediate assignment ofan all-purpose judge at the time the original mmplaint is filul. Only in thatsituation will

~ .769) 910, that applying Ur statute to Ur siiualion before us would be illogieal and unfair. &uglr
subdivihn (i) of O o v m I I ~ Cod6
t
68616 dm limit a p w - s aereise of aperemplory ehallenge lo the I5 days following the fim appesranee, this only maka smsc if the
Legislanrrc intended it to apply only when the assimment of an all-purpose or d i m eacendar judge is made simuttaneordy with ihe eeccptanee of the
amplaint for filing. We are reluemt to uttribute an illogieal or uni%r inlent to the Legislamre; (97 Cal. Rptr. 2d 127) instezd, we a s m e that it did
intend to make sense. (See People v. Broussnrd (1993) 5 Cal. 4th 1067, 1072 [22 Cal. Rptr. 26278.8% P.2d I 1341, on avoidanee of absurd resulls.)
Thus, Govmment Code seetion 68616, subdivision (i) has no application to the situation whieh arises after remand.
Although it may he anomalous, as the City argnes, to allow 60 days tollowing the assignment ofthe same trial judge a&r reversal, our interpretaim
doe8 not do unaeeeptable violenee to the fa%track whcme as a whole. In La SeigneuricU.S. Holdings, Ine. v. Superior Comt (1994) 29 Cal. App. 4th
1500pS Cd. KpZ Zd 1751, the wurt found it "somewhal punling" thal the fksltrek mles aaually allow ilve more days to exmire a peremptory
ehallmge than does C d e of Civll Procedure, seetion 170.6. 8 It eoneluded that the Legislature might have believed that extra tim wes nnecensary
because of the expedited nature ofthe proaam so thal a defendmf "brought inm an aetion wainst hi will; eould have .aWi oppormnity rn r d e c t and
coosida on the issue of R challmp~to the assigned judge." (La Scigncuri, sup% rit p. 1504.) Assuming lhis to be the legislative intent then Itmiring the
effed of the Government Code pmvision to the situation in which an all purpose judge is arrigned mtemporaneously with the filing of a mrnplaint
makes sense. The extended pcriod for making a perempbrj ehallens is thus remickd to L e defendant faced with numaous deeisirms and ehoices at the
very beginning ofli(igation, while in l e s prcrsvrcd situations thc shorter l0.day period of the Code of Civil Pmedurn wfinws mnmI.
We therefore wnelndethnt Governmeut Code, section 68616 has nonpplication when a ludgmenr has bwn revcraed an sppsl md . h r n r d to
the t h l wuri Tor rebial. The 60-day provlslon of Code of Civll Procedure, reelion 170.6 wntrolp and S t ~ b b l ~ f i e lmotion

Retircd judge ofthe former San Bernardino Municipal C o y West Valley Divison, wigned by the Chief Justice pursuam to &cle VI, scction 6 of the
Califomin Canstitution.

Retired judgeof h e former SanBernaPJino Municipal Court, WestVdly Division, svigncd by the ChieiJuvtiee purnuanttomicleVI, seetion 60f the
California Constitution.

The City did no1 raiw this issue below. However, as the issue is one of law and does not involve disputed facts, we may consider it even though the City
neglaed to raise it belaw. Wale v. Morgan (1978)22 Cal. 3d 388.394 [149 Cal. Rptr. 375,584 P.Zd 5121; I n n Maniage ofPnm(1997) 52 Cal. App.
4th 1487, 1490 [61 Cal. Rptr. 2d 4931.) We do note that the City filed M abbreviatsd objection and did request have to prep= fullcr briefing if the m n
felt it ncchow-er, the eourt's d i n g in the City's favor mooted that request.
2
We do not. o f m r s e , suggest that Judge W m e r has so reacted or vmuld so react. We merely accept the Legislature's opinion 41at such a reanion is
possible, and very human.

The result reached by ~ i g hfor


t the Rams, supra, 41 Cal. APp. 4th 953, is cleaciy equitable and we agree with if bW it does involve m e rcanangemenl
of the shltu10ry langnage. The murrs bland stanee that it is merely conshling %nbmbignous" lwguage might be called romcuhat d&genuous. In
Cyb=di% Inc. v. Superior Court (1999) 72 Gal. App. 4th 9 10 [gZ Cd.RPV. Zd 1261 (heninafler Cybermedia), by contrast. thc c m did not rdy on
any fiction that a WIfY did not wpp'ar in a dir& calendar murt until a direct o r l e n d ~ j u d was
~ e a s s i m d but simply m g n i z e d that Govanmart Code
section 68616, subdivision (i)could not be strictly applied= dr&d in all cirsumstanccs.

have bem untimely, because the Cybenoedia trial coun became a direct calcndar c m whm the first all-purposehdp was &gned.

AS we have observed in Fight for the Rams, supra 41 Cal. App. 6ha1 page 9 1 , the coun desnibcdthe l a n g u w whiB we quoted abwe as

Chronological Summary of Judge Sachs' serial violations:

1. 2/10/14 Violation of CRC 3.1312 (prevailing party to prepare her judgment)


Judge Sachs refused to sign a judgment prevailing party submitted at the hearing.
Judge Sachs invited non-prevailing party's attorney to prepare the final judgment.
2. 2/19/14 Violation of Civil 6663(b) (power to vacate judgment expired in 60 days)
McCarron objected to revisiting a summary judgment order entered on 10121l13.
McCarron told Judge Sachs jurisdiction to vacate the order expired months ago.
3. 2/19/14 Violation of CRC 3.1 103: 3.1 12: 3.1 113. CCP 81005 (no motion notice
with basis for relief or Points & Authorities was filed as required) CCP 5 1005
4. 2/19/14 Violation of CRC 3.1312 (prevailing party $3 prepare judgments)

Minute Order recited "Counsel for Plaintiff to Prepare Judgment"

5. 3/17/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to avplv the law-violation of due process


Judge Sachs thwarted McCarron from reciting objections on a transcript record,
depriving Shipley of an opportunity to be heard and an opportunity to object.
Disparate treatment-calling counsel "ma'am" instead of by her name or counsel.
6. 3/17/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to Auvlv the law- violation of due process
Judge Sachs actively advocated for Stubblefield by distorting prior findings of
two courts and allowing Stubblefield to paraphrase findings to alter its import.

7. 3/17/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to Avvlv the law- violation of due process
Judge Sachs advocated for Stubblefield by inserting the words "or resident" into
his judge notes, and then giving the notes to Stubblefield's counsel for insertion
into the final judgment (a contrivance even Stubblefield didn't think of doing).
This violated Shipley's right to due process under federal and state constitutions.
The deck is stacked against a party where the Judge is the opponent's advocate.

8. 3/17/14 p

- violation of due process

Judge Sachs made a bizarre journal entry "jilesretained in department" which


enabled him to exercise exclusive control over which documents would be filed
or rejected. Judge Sachs then refused to accept the objections Shipley tried to file
on 3121114--only one day after Stubblefield submitted a debauched judgment

exparte to chambers on 3120114. This deprived Shipley of opportunity to object.


9. 3120114 Violated Local Rule 591.3 (no entry of judgment for 10 days)
Rule 591.3 was amended on 1/1/13 to afford opposing parties a chance to object
Stubblefield hued Legal Support Services to hand deliver a paraphrased final
judgment directly to chambers exparte on 3120114, without fust serving the
proposed judgment to opposing counsel, who represented prevailing party.
Judge Sachs signed the judgment the same day it was delivered [on 3/20/14]
without waiting even one day to afford Shipley an opportunity to object to form.
10. 3/21/14 Violation of Judicial Oath to Applv the law- violation of due process
Judge Sachs prevented Shipley from obtaining the judgment entered 3/20/14.
Shipley appeared 3 consecutive days to try to get it. [3/2 1/14,3/24/14,3125/14]
because his clerk had not scanned it to the online docket. Each time she appeared

in Dept. S-33 for a copy of the judgment she was told to return the following day.
Shipley was never able to obtain a copy of the judgment despite three attempts.
This was not one isolated incident or a few inadvertent mistakes. The 10 incidents
above displays a serial pattern of intentional violations of Codes of Civil Procedure,
Rules of Court, Statutes of Limitations, Local Rules, and the Judicial Code of Ethics.
By inserting the words "or resident" Judge S a c h paved the way for park owners to
evict residents directly on 5 days' notice, instead of proceeding against homeowners,
who can invoke statutory protections against arbitrary evictions under Civil 9798.55.

Former Panel quoted the trial court's finding verbatim on 2/14/13 as recited below:

When McCarron objected to Stubblefield's distortion Judge Sachs insisted it is accurate.


Ms. MMRRON: okay. What about the first three
sentences where they paraphrased it and they added the word

such as Defendant?
THE COURT: It is irrelevant.

MS. MMRRON: Why is it irrelevant?


THE COURT: Because that was Judge Aluarez' decision
h i c h was, in fact, overturned by the coun so whatever that
says it is really irrelevant.

MS. McCARRON: But why havesomething in there that


wasn't said? That is not nght.
THE COURT: 1 believe it is accurate.

Judge Sachs consecrated Stubblefield's distortion by approving his paraphrased


conclusions in the final judgment to create a pretext that both courts found Shipley was
an unlawfil occupant not entitled to reside in Space 333 under park rules. Judge Sachs
mote the words or resident onto his copy of the judgment Stubblefield had submitted,
authorizing Stubblefield to proceed directly against residents under Civil 798.56(d).
McCarron asked why she could not file the order to avoid his paraphrasing. RT 60:25
The court responded " It is his motion, it is his work" &d offered to give us his copy.
The S-33 deputy made copies of the judgment with the Judge's notes on it. RT 61:l

WRIT ISSUES PRESENTED


Did Fourth District-Division 2 Panel err by not reversing Appellate Division Panels
denial of writ petition to compel a trial court to transfer a case to unlimited jurisdiction
where evidence showed the home to be seized and damages sought both exceed $25,000?
[trial court disposed the CCP 396a (b) motion to transfer by citing CCP 403.040 (e)
as the dispositive code with no chance to research/brief or present oral argument on it]
Do Appellate Panels have a constitutional duty under Article VI, 10, 11 to prevent
a trial court from exceeding jurisdictional limits circumscribed by CCP 85, 86, 88?

STATEWIDE URGENCY
This petition affects every litigant who is deprived of a statutory right to unlimited
jurisdiction where damages sought and the amount in controversy exceed $25,000.00.
Arbitrary and capricious classification of cases renders CCP 85, 86, 88 illusory.
Legislators never delegated concurrent jurisdiction over actions. CCP 85, 86 & 88. 1

PETITION
AUTHENTICITY OF EXHIBITS
1. Exhibits 1-6 are true copies of original documents on file with respondent court.
Exhibit 7 is the verified transcript of proceedings conducted on January 29, 2015.
BENEFICIAL INTEREST OF PETITIONER;
CAPACITIES OF PARTIES
2. Shipley is defendant in an action pending in the Respondent Court below entitled,
Stubblefield Properties, CA General Partnership v. Nancy Duffy, Bonnie Shipley, et al
UDFS1406978, a summary eviction in which plaintiff seeks possession of the premises
and monetary damages exceeding $25,000 the maximum for limited jurisdiction,
as shown on a Civil Case Cover Sheet plaintiff filed. 2

Plaintiff is Real Party.

Castellini v Municipal Court (1970) 7 CA3d 174; Williams v Rosinsky Motor Co.
(1955) 133 CA2d Supp 798, 284 P2d 979
Exhibit 1, page 0
3

URGENCY TO PETITIONER
3.

Absent intervention Shipley will have to defend a second sham summary eviction

in limited jurisdiction depriving her of a statutory right to be in unlimited jurisdiction.3


Plaintiff prayed for open-ended damages at a daily rate since February 2013 4 which
exceed $25,000 5 [the maximum amount in limited jurisdiction under CCP 85, 86],
and where the value of the home to be seized in summary eviction exceeds $25,000. 6
Shipley will be homeless if plaintiff evicts her from a home she has lived in 3 years.
IMMEDIATE STAY REQUESTED
4.

Shipley asks this court to issue a STAY of all proceedings until the petition is

resolved. The trial court denied stay below. The court continues to sign void orders
exceeding jurisdiction. Fontana UD Court transferred the case to the Justice Center
(Hon. Michael Sachs) but did not reclassify it to unlimited jurisdiction. Plaintiff still
files motions on truncated UD 5-day notice while court accepts them & sets hearings.
STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY
5.

On 8/2/12 Stubblefield moved to evict Shipley---who was not his contract tenant,

but rather a co-resident of his contract tenant in UDDS1204130. 7 Stubblefield never


named or joined his contract tenant in that action. Shipley prevailed after an Appellate
Panel reversed the trial courts denial of a summary judgment motion, and directed
the court to enter judgment on the merits for Shipley in civil case CIVDS1302013.8
Panel found the eviction unlawful because the authority Stubblefield cited in his notice
to vacate did not apply to Shipley as she was not a purchaser or transferee; and because
he lacked privity of contract with her since she was not his tenant. Id

After losing 3 related appeals plaintiff prosecutes a new case in limited jurisdiction

where damages he prayed for and a property he prays to seize both exceed $25,000.00.
NO ADEQUATE REMEDY AT LAW
Denial of motion to transfer/reclassify jurisdiction is not appealable. CCP 904.1 9

Writ relief would avoid wasting significant party resources, court labor, and jury time.
Shipley is deprived of adequate discovery and trial preparation in limited jurisdiction.
If relief here is denied the homeowner may lose her mobile home and Shipley may be
evicted from the home she has lawfully occupied as co-resident for 3 years since 2012.
Shipley has no other adequate remedy at law for the relief sought in this petition.
WRIT PETITION WAS TIMELY FILED
8.

Petition was timely filed within 20 days of 1/29/15 order. see CCP 403.080 .
Writs to Appellate Division & 4th District Court of Appeal were timely, as is this
Petition for Review is timely served within 10 days after entry of order. (Exh. A)

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES


STANDARD OF REVIEW [DE NOVO]
Where evidence is not in dispute, a determination of subject matter jurisdiction is a
legal question subject to de novo review. 10 The Court is not bound by a court below
but makes its own independent interpretation. 11 Minute order entered 1/29/15 recites
transfer was denied without reciting any rationale or any findings of fact. Exhibit 5
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENTS:
The court exceeded its powers by denying a transfer sought under CCP 396a (b)
and reciting CCP 403.040 (e) as the dispositive code, which no party cited or argued,
and with no opportunity to research or brief it, and without oral argument or objections.
Shipley cited CCP396a (b) in the caption and body of her Notice of Motion to Dismiss
or Transfer to Unlimited Jurisdiction. Exhibit 2, 1:16 It recites in relevant part:
(b) If it appears from the complaint or affidavit, or otherwise, that
the superior court or court location where the action or proceeding
is commenced is not the proper court or court location for the trial,
the court where the action or proceeding is commenced, or a judge
thereof, shall, whenever that fact appears, transfer it to the proper court
or court location, on its own motion, or on motion of the defendant,
unless the defendant consents in writing, or in open court Id 12
The court was required to transfer the action to unlimited jurisdiction upon proof
that the damages demanded or value of property in controversy exceeds $25,000.00.
Discretion is not authorized where legislators use the word shall. Legislators defined
jurisdictional classification at CCP 32 and circumscribed limited jurisdiction to cases
where the amount in controversy is less than $25,000.00. [CCP 85, 86] All other
cases are litigated in unlimited jurisdiction. [CCP 88]. Legislators never authorized
concurrent jurisdiction or the power to arbitrarily classify based on a judges whim.

A fortiori, legislators provided a remedy for arbitrary misclassification by enacting


CCP 403.080 which expressly authorizes a writ proceeding to the Appellate Division
to reverse whimsical misclassification. Discovery and trial preparation are severely
circumscribed by summary proceedings in limited jurisdiction courts where all cross
claims are barred, motions and depositions are set on only 5-days notice, and trial is set
on a mere 21-day notice. Shipley timely invoked CCP 403.080 to correct a manifest
injustice perpetrated by a biased judicial officer who is plaintiffs de facto advocate.
Appellate Courts have a duty to prohibit a trial court from exceeding jurisdiction
and unlawfully prosecuting a case in the wrong jurisdiction. The illegal acts, coupled
with refusal to make findings on the evidence, and sua sponte disposition of a motion
by CCP 403.040(e)--an inapplicable statute never argue-- shows clear judicial bias.
The court stepped out of its role as independent arbiter and into a role of de facto
advocate by searching for a statute to dispose of a motion without making findings,
and without affording Shipley any opportunity to be heard or present oral arguments.
The court sabotaged Shipley by denying her motion on a statute which did not apply.
CCP403.040(e) applies only to the converse fact pattern; i.e. where a party, or court
sua sponte, reclassifies a case from unlimited jurisdiction down to limited jurisdiction.
In fact 403.040(e) recites, Nothing in this section shall be construed to require
the superior court to reclassify an action or proceeding because the judgment to be
rendered, as determined at the trial or hearing, is one that might have been rendered
in a limited civil case. This case is not in San Bernardino Superior Court. It is in
the Unlawful Detainer Court in Fontana, Dept. 7, which is a limited jurisdiction court.
These biased acts violated the judicial officers oath taken when he was sworn in as
a judicial officer of the court; i.e. to uphold the constitution and laws of California.
The Appellate Panel has a duty to prohibit a trial court from exceeding its jurisdiction
by prosecuting a case in a limited jurisdiction court when the trial court was required
to transfer the case to unlimited jurisdiction under CCP$396a(b)a mandatory code.
7

ARGUMENT 1
1. Court Should Have Transferred the Case to Unlimited Jurisdiction Because
Plaintiff Prayed for Open-Ended Damages (rent) already exceeding $25,000
and the Value of the Property (home to be seized) also Exceeds $25,000.00
A. To be treated as a limited civil case, the amount in controversy in an
action or special proceeding cannot exceed $25,000.00 CCP 85(a)
Amount in controversy means the amount of a demand or value of a property,
or the amount of a lien, or personal property, exclusive of attorneys fees, interest &
costs. CCP 85(a); 86(b). On October 3, 2014 Stubblefield filed a Civil Case Cover
Sheet praying for monetary damages and possession of premises. [Exhibit 1, page 0] :

Exh.1, page 0
In his prayer for judgment, at page 7 of the complaint, Stubblefield sought openended damages for all rent past due since February 2013. [Exhibit 1, page 00]:

Exh.1, page 00
In a Motion to Dismiss or Transfer Shipley attached a Resident Account Statement
Stubblefield mailed to his contract tenant---showing past due rent of $25,653.66.
[Exh. 2, pg 11] The statement proved the open-ended damages Stubblefield prayed
for exceed $25,000.00. Shipley attached a certified copy of San Bernardino County
Tax Assessors print-out showing $27,800 as the value of the home. [Exh. 2, pg 12].
This proved the value of the property to be seized exceeds $25,000.00. The court
made no findings on the evidence, and did not allow oral argument on a statute the
court announced disposed of the motion to transfer the case to unlimited jurisdiction.
8

B. Transfer To Unlimited Is Mandatory If Party Shows Good Cause Why


She Did Not Move Until After Answering; Court Must Reclassify if Case is or
was Incorrectly Classified and Good Cause Exists To Transfer. CCP 403.040(b)
Shipley showed good cause. The motion recited she first moved for transfer as part
of her demurrer, which was denied by the court [Exh. 2, 3:18]. Shipley filed a separate
motion to transfer on 5 days notice [Exh. 2, 3:22]. The court found 5 days notice was
insufficient but authorized Shipley to refile a motion on 16 days notice [Exh. 2, 3:24].
Shipley refiled for a hearing on the merits with a review of evidence submitted. [Exh.
2, 3:26]. The hearing on the merits and evidence was held on 1/29/15. Exhibit 5
Shipley cited CCP396a(b) in the caption and body of Notice of Motion to Dismiss
for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or transfer to unlimited jurisdiction. Exh.2, 1:16
(b) If it appears from the complaint or affidavit, or otherwise, that
the superior court or court location where the action or proceeding is
commenced is not the proper court or court location for the trial,
the court where the action or proceeding is commenced, or a judge
thereof, shall, whenever that fact appears, transfer it to the proper court
or court location, on its own motion, or on motion of the defendant,
unless the defendant consents in writing, or in open court Id 13
The court had a mandatory duty to transfer the action to unlimited upon proof
the amount in controversy (damages demanded or value of property to be seized)
exceeded $25,000. Discretion is not authorized when legislators use the word shall.
Legislators defined jurisdictional classification at CCP 32 and circumscribed
limited jurisdiction to cases where the amount in controversy is less than $25,000.00
[CCP 85, 86] and all other cases to unlimited jurisdiction. [CCP 88]. Legislators
never authorized concurrent jurisdiction or delegated powers to arbitrarily classify.
A fortiori, legislators provided a remedy for arbitrary misclassification by enacting
CCP 403.080 which expressly authorizes a writ proceeding to the Appellate Division
or Court of Appeal to reverse whimsical and arbitrary misclassifications.

13

CCP 1235.060. Shall and may Shall is mandatory and may is permissive.

C. Amount In Controversy Continues To Provide A Basis For Reclassification 14


The Walker Test 15 continues to provide the method to determine the jurisdictional
amount in controversy for reclassification back down to a limited civil case, i.e.,
that the matter will necessarily result in a verdict below the jurisdictional amount. 16
Finally, under Walker v. Superior Court (1991) 53 Cal.3d 257, 262, we
find that the trial court improperly reclassified this action as a limited civil
case without evidence that the matter will "necessarily" result in a verdict
below the jurisdictional amount required by statute for classification as an
unlimited civil case. Stern v. Superior Court (2003) 105 C.A.4th 223, 227
Walker and all published cases resolving classification present the opposite scenario;
they all involved fact patterns where a trial court reclassified from unlimited to limited
and the impaired party appealed the misclassification through a writ petition or appeal.
Jurisdictional basis was first set in 1934 in Harris v. Seidel, 1 CA. 2d 410 at page 416:
Ordinarily, jurisdiction depends upon the amount claimed in the ad
damnum clause of the complaint{cite} It has been said "that any
other rule would be fraught with uncertainties and mischiefs beyond the
power of anticipation".{cite}. Likewise, it has been held that jurisdiction
does not depend in any way upon the amount which the plaintiff is finally held
to be entitled to recover. In Becker v. Superior Court, 151 Cal. 313, the court
says: "The test of the jurisdiction of a court is ordinarily to be found in
the nature of the case as made by the complaint and the relief sought
It is elementary that the first question which must be determined by the
trial court in every case is that of jurisdiction
In Stern, supra, @ 229-231 the panel held a trial court abused its discretion
by failing to make requisite findings that the matter would necessarily result in
a verdict below $25,000. Stern held that a trial court must look to the prayer for the
amount in controversy; if there is any possibility (not probability) the award might
exceed the maximum for limited jurisdiction the case must be reclassified unlimited.
The prayer [Exh.1:00] and evidence [Exh.2:11-12] prove demand exceeds $25,000.

D. Whether Party Moves a Court Or It Raises a Jurisdictional Issue Sua Sponte,


It Must Give Litigants Opportunity to be Heard/Contest Reclassification. Stern 17
Shipley cited CCP396a(b) in the caption & body of a Notice of Motion to Dismiss
for lack of subject matter jurisdiction or transfer to unlimited jurisdiction. Exh.2, 1:16
She cited CCP 85 circumscribing amounts less than $25,000 to limited jurisdiction
and CCP 88 --- unlimited jurisdiction where amount in controversy exceeds $25,000.
Instead of making factual findings on admissible, authenticated evidence presented
with the motion, as required by Walker, supra & recently affirmed by Stern, supra the
court literally pulled a rabbit out of his hat to save his preferred party from transfer
by announcing the dispositive statute was CCP 403.040(e). Exh. 6, 8:19, transc.
Neither party cited or argued 403.040 in their moving and/or opposing papers.
A court may raise the issue of reclassification under CCP 403.040(e) sua sponte;
however, if it does so, the court must afford all parties an opportunity to be heard. 18
Here, the court simply announced a code neither party had cited or argued at all, and
when Shipleys counsel tried to object the court rudely cut her off with a sternNo..
Im ..notExh. 6, 9:1]. The court barreled into the next motion to rule upon; i.e.
the motion to compel home inspection and to compel Timothy McCarrons affidavit.
This violated Shipleys federal & state constitutional rights to due process by depriving
her of any opportunity to research the statute, present oral argument or object to it.
The United States Supreme Court has emphasized, on numerous occasions, that the
right to due process, at a minimum, guarantees citizens the right to be heard that is,
an opportunity to present objections and arguments with regard to governmental
actions that may result in a deprivation of their life, liberty, or property. Mullane

The Mullane Court expressed the fundamental right to be heard as follows:


Many controversies have raged about the cryptic and abstract words of the
Due Process Clause but there can be no doubt that at a minimum they require
that deprivation of life, liberty or property by adjudication be preceded by notice
and opportunity for hearing appropriate to the nature of the case. Id @ 313
see also, e.g., Nelson v. Adams USA, Inc., 529 U.S. 460, 466 (2000);

Co. v. Hill, 281 U.S. 673, 678 (1930)
Transcripts in this case show the court consistently allows plaintiffs counsel to argue
ad nauseam uninterrupted, while consistently and rudely interrupting Shipleys counsel.
If her counsel dares to utter May I speak? (to get a word in edgewise) she is promptly
admonished by the court in a loud voice, No or Dont interrupt. Plaintiffs counsel
is free to interrupt Shipleys counsel and the court at his whim and has never been told,
Dont interrupt or No when HE interrupts. The court is not even subtle in its bias.
A litigant must submit to the courts control of the room, even if he is blatantly biased.
After a litigant has done so, he or she may demonstrate his legal errors on appeal. 20
Stare decisis mandates reversal when a court refuses to follow mandatory authority 21
E. Court Erred by Forcing Shipley to Defend Complex Issues in UD Court
Palmer 22 held mobile home tenancies cannot be terminated in summary proceedings:
...The summary proceedings for obtaining possession of
real property outlined in the Code of Civil Procedure are not
applicable for termination of mobile home tenancies. Palmer 385
Palmers prohibition on summary eviction was later affirmed in Rich v. Schwab 23:
Our conclusion is also consistent with the holding in (Palmer).
In Palmer the court held the eviction requirements set forth in the MRL
control over the less stringent requirements of the unlawful detainer law.

Although a court has discretion to preserve the benefits of summary proceedings,


it may not disregard a legitimate need for, and a right to, time to prepare and obtain
reasonable discovery in advance of a trial of complex issues on conflicting claims,
or require them to be tried within summary procedures designed for simple UD claims. 24
when complex issues of title are involved, the parties' constitutional rights
to due process in the litigation of those issues cannot be subordinated to the
summary procedures of unlawful detainerthe court abused its discretion.
Moore @ 391-392
Error in trial proceedings is prejudicial when there is a "reasonable
probability" that the error affected the outcome of the trial {cites}
Under the applicable test, the error was prejudicial. Moore @ 395
.refusal to permit trial of the issue of title outside of those summary
procedures, was an abuse of discretion requiring the judgment's reversal
Moore @396
Under stare decisis the court exceeded its powers when it refused to transfer the
case to unlimited jurisdiction with indisputable evidence the home is assessed at a
value exceeding $25,000. Exhibit 2, page 12. The home is not a mobile home.
Homes manufactured after 1976 are manufactured homes---not mobile homes.

a structure that was constructed on or after June 15, 1976

ARGUMENT II
Appellate Panel Has a Duty to Prohibit Trial Court From Exceeding Jurisdiction
By Enabling the Unlawful Prosecution of an Action in the Wrong Jurisdiction.
Acts exceeding jurisdiction, coupled with a courts refusal to make findings on
the evidence presented with the motion, and its sua sponte announcement that is was
disposing the motion under CCP 403.040(e)---never cited nor argued shows bias.
The court is clearly acting as a de facto advocate for billionaire Stubblefield for
political reasons, to assure Stubblefield does not run a candidate against him when he
faces the next 6-year reelection. These acts violate an oath the judge swore to, after
being appointed to the bench, to uphold the constitution and laws of California.
The court stepped out of its role as independent arbiter and into a role of de facto
advocate by searching for a statute to dispose of the motion without making findings,
and without affording Shipley any opportunity to be heard or present oral arguments.
The court sabotaged Shipley by disposing her motion on a statute which did not apply.
CCP403.040(e) applies only to the converse situation; i.e. a party, or court sua sponte,
moves to reclassify a case from unlimited jurisdiction back down to limited jurisdiction.
In fact 403.040(e) recites, Nothing in this section shall be construed to require
the superior court to reclassify an action or proceeding because the judgment to be
rendered, as determined at the trial or hearing, is one that might have been rendered in
a limited civil case. The case is not in superior courtbut rather in Fontana UD court.
This panel has a duty under powers delegated by Article VI, 10, 11 to prohibit
the trial court from exceeding delegated powers circumscribed by CCP 85, 86, 88.
Acts exceeding jurisdiction must be restrained to ensure statewide uniformity.
The writ lies to prevent the exercise of any unauthorized power in a
case or proceeding of which the subordinate tribunal has jurisdiction..

26

Abelleira v. District Court of Appeal (1941) 17 Cal.2d 280, 291


14

26

Speaking generally, any acts which exceed the defined power of a court
in any instance, whether that power be defined by constitutional provision,
express statutory declaration, or rules developed by the courts and followed
under the doctrine of stare decisis, are in excess of jurisdiction. Abelleira @ 291
CONCLUSION
The court exceeded its powers by denying a transfer sought under CCP 396a (b)
and reciting CCP 403.040 (e) as the dispositive code, which no party cited or argued,
and with no opportunity to research or brief it, and without oral argument or objections.
CCP396a(b) imposes a mandatory duty on the court to transfer the case to unlimited
jurisdiction upon proof the amount in controversy [damages demanded or value of
property to be seized] exceeds $25,000. Legislators never authorized concurrent
jurisdiction 27 or delegated powers to arbitrarily classify cases on a judges whim.
CCP 403.080 authorizes a writ petition to reverse such arbitrary misclassification.
The appellate panel has a duty to prohibit a court from enabling unlawful prosecution
in the wrong jurisdiction. These acts exceeding jurisdiction, coupled with the courts
refusal to make findings on evidence presented, and its sua sponte disposition of the
motion on CCP 403.040(e) which was never cited nor argued demonstrates clear bias.
The court acts as a de facto advocate for billionaire Stubblefield to assure his support
during his next 6-year reelection campaign. These biased acts violate the very oath he
swore when appointed to the bench to uphold the constitution and laws of California.
CCP 403.040(e) recites, Nothing in this section shall be construed to require
the superior court to reclassify an action or proceeding because the judgment to be
rendered, as determined at the trial or hearing, is one that might have been rendered
in a limited civil case. The section is inapplicable as it is the reverse of the facts here.
For the above reasons Shipley asks this panel to stay all proceedings and issue a writ
prohibiting the court from prosecuting this case in the wrong jurisdiction and
commanding the court to transfer the case to unlimited jurisdiction forthwith.

Stubbleifeld v. Nancv Duffv. et al

Attn: Belinda
Although the above online docket shows the above Fontana case was physically
transferred last week to the Justice Center (Judge Sachs in S28) the case was not
reclassified, and it is still being treated a s a UD "under $10.000 damages" case, which
is in complete violation of law. This case must be reclassified to "unlimited jurisdiction"
as damages sought exceed $25,000 and value of property to be seized exceeds $25,000.
(see brief). I wanted to clarifv this fact so as to avoid any argument this writ petition
is moot because the case is now being heard in S28 Justice Center rather than Fontana.
Plaintiffs Notice of a Discovery Motion shows it was set for March P9,2015, with a
Proof of Service dated March 11,2015 (mailed oniy 8 days before the hearing) [Exh. A]
This pleading was accepted by the court clerk and scheduled on 8 daysinotice pursuant
to CCP 31170.8 (5 days' notice in limited UD jurisdiction) rather than 16 days + 5 for
mailing a s required in unlimited jurisdiction, pursuant to CCP 1005(a). This is yet
another reason why this case must be classified in unlimited jurisdiction to comport
with due process. Three motions were served (52 pages, 102 pages, and 129 pages)
for a total of 273 pages. Not even superman coula mount opposition to it in 5 days.
This abuse has continued for 3 years now since 8/2/12. The case is now 15 volumes,
428 docket entries with a total of over 60 hearings. A case this complex should never
be litigated in UD jurisdiction. The second case starting 1013114 wigbe deja vue, with
23 hearings already and 128 docket items after only 5 months. At some point this court
must put a n end to this abuse. This is the second sham complaint with no legal basis.

WRIT ISSUES PRESENTED


Did Judge Sachs deny due process in a hearing denying Shipleys valid motion to
disqualify him under CCP 170.6 (2)--two days after counsel notified him that she was
unavailable due to her brothers unexpected death and her daughters hospitalization?
Was it abuse of discretion not to continue resolution until after counsels emergency?
Did Judge Sachs violate CCP 170.3 (a)(2) when, as Presiding Judge of Civil Cases in
Justice Center, he did not submit disqualification to Marsha Slough, the Presiding Judge?
STATEWIDE URGENCY
Petition affects every litigant who is deprived of a right to counsel at a crucial hearing,
conducted despite notification of her attorneys unavailability due to family emergencies.
Our judicial system is based on the presumption a judicial officer will be fair and impartial.
Although a facially deficient disqualification motion may be stricken a judge should never
be allowed to rule on his own disqualification based on resolution of substantive issues.
The appellate court must intervene when a judge shows callous disregard and cruel bias.

PETITION
AUTHENTICITY OF EXHIBITS
1. Exhibits are copies of original documents on file in respondent court & dockets,
and a transcript of a disqualification hearing denying Shipley of a right to counsel.

BENEFICIAL INTEREST OF PETITIONER;


CAPACITIES OF PARTIES
2. Shipley is defendant in two consolidated cases pending in Respondent Court entitled,
Stubblefield Properties, CA General Partnership v. Nancy Duffy, Bonnie Shipley, et al
UDFS1406978, a summary eviction in which plaintiff seeks possession of premises and
Stubblefield Properties, CA General Partnership v. Bonnie Shipley, UDDS1204130, a
summary eviction seeking possession of premises. Plaintiff below is Real Party in Interest.
3

URGENCY TO PETITIONER
3.

Absent intervention Shipley will be forced to submit to the jurisdiction of a Judge

in two consolidated cases, who has engaged, and continues to engage in intentional
serial violations of court rules, codes of procedures, and rules against Stare Decisis,
all to advocate for his preferred party Stubblefield; who has thwarted every effort
to obtain statutory attorney fees as prevailing party, and who has shown serial bias
against Shipleys attorney, including denying disqualification, rather than continuing
the hearing until counsel returned from two family emergencies two weeks later, and
refusing to submit the Motion to Marsha Slough, Presiding Judge.
4. Under Stare Decisis bias is presumed when any part of a judges decision is
reversed on appeal. Hendershot v. Supr Court

Shipley had to appeal her own

victory when Judge Sachs let loser Stubblefield write a debauched final judgment.
Judge Sachs entered it immediately after Stubblfields runner delivered it directly to
chambers without giving Shipley any chance to object. Judge Sachs admitted this
in the transcript included under separate cover. [Exh. 6, pg 32:17] It was improper
for Judge Sachs to conduct Shipleys hearing on 3/18/15 without counsel present to
argue and/or rebut misrepresentations Sachs packed into a transcript. A judge is not
authorized to file any opposition on writ petitions. Sachs attempt to nestle a
forbidden opposition into the 3/18/15 transcript is as transparent as a piece of glass.
It Judge Sachs intended to rebut bias, he had to file/serve a verified answer 10 days
after service of the motion. CCP 170.3(c) (5). Judge Sachs was able to present a
distorted version of the true facts while avoiding having to verify them under oath.

Hendershot v. Supr Court (Pac SoWest Invest., Inc.) (1993) 20 C.A.4th 860;
Stegs Investments v. Superior Court (Sprecher) (1991) 233 CA.3d 572; Stubblefield
Construction Co., Petitioner v. San Bernardino County, Respondent; City Of San
Bernardino et al, Real Parties In Interest, 81 CA.4th 762 (2000)
4

5. Shipley notified the Presiding Judge of her intent to ask Attorney General Kamala
Harris to investigate Arnold Stubblefields continuous corruption and intimidation of
government officials, which we believe has infected the court system.
IMMEDIATE STAY REQUESTED
6.

Shipley asks this court to issue an IMMEDIATE STAY of all proceedings until a

petition is resolved. The court continues to issue void orders ignoring CCP 170.4 (a).
Despite Shipleys counsels request for a mere 3 week reprieve to grieve the death of
her brother, and help her daughter recover from a coma, at no hardship to plaintiff,
the callous, pitiless, cold-hearted Judge Sachs emboldened plaintiff to pummel Duffy
with 5 malicious motions (served on truncated notice) refusing to extend counsel any
extra time to oppose [Exh. 6, pg 47]; four frivolous motions against Duffys clients,
who have absolutely nothing to do with whether Duffy & Shipley can share her home.
1) 59-page MTC Chris Allen & $1,931.50 sanctions with perjured return of service.
2) 109-page MTC Steve Allen & $8,511.50 sanctions with perjured return of service.
3) 129-page MTC Bonnie Shipley & $6,290 sanctions sham against Shipley & Duffy.
4) 127-page MTC Nancy Duffy & $5,590 sanctions after answering all depo questions
5) 219-page Motion to Expunge Lis Pendens & $5,600 sanctions against Nancy Duffy
643 pages of Motions with a grand total $27,923.00 in sanctions requested.
Stubblefields so called summary proceeding in UD court in limited jurisdiction.
Stubblefields frivolous motions appear on Exh 1 (177 item docket 5 volume case)
It is Stubblefields use of Superior Court Judges as Weapons of Mass Harassment.
HARASSMENT Round 2 (Exh.1) UDFS1406978; 177 entries-5 volumes-12 hearings
HARASSMENT Round 1 (Exh 2) UDDS1204130; 429 docket entries, 60 court
hearings, 17 volume case file
Absent a STAY it will be physically and emotionally difficult for counsel to present
meaningful opposition on truncated notice to 643 pages---cheered on by Judge Sachs.
5

Shipley prevailed on Round 1 on May 6, 2013. For two years Shipley has been
trying to obtain statutory attorney fees as prevailing party under Mobile Home Law.
Sachs has thwarted every effort Duffy has made to obtain attorney fees since 2013.
Shipley will explain what has happened over three years of abuse in this court in a
written complaint to Attorney General Kamala Harris, with a request to investigate
Stubblefields use of local judges as Weapons of Mass Harassment to pummel any
person who challenges his sewer of corruption. We have endured three years of
relentess harassment --- as shown in Exhibits 1 and 2 in Star Court proceedings.

STATEMENT OF FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY


7.

On 8/2/12 Stubblefield moved to evict Shipley---who was not his contract tenant,

but rather a co-resident of his contract tenant in UDDS1204130. 2 Stubblefield never


named or joined his contract tenant in that action. Shipley prevailed after an Appellate
Panel reversed the trial courts denial of a summary judgment motion, and directed
the court to enter judgment on the merits for Shipley in civil case CIVDS1302013.3
Panel found the eviction unlawful because the authority Stubblefield cited in his notice
to vacate did not apply to Shipley as she was not a purchaser or transferee; and because
he lacked privity of contract with her since she was not his tenant. Id

After losing

three related appeals plaintiff fraudulently prosecutes a new case in limited jurisdiction
where the damages prayed for and the property sought to be seized exceed $25,000.00.

NO ADEQUATE REMEDY AT LAW

8.

Denial of motion to disqualify is not appealable. CCP $ 904.1

If relief is denied

Shipley may leave the homeowner may lose'her mobile home and Shipley may be
evicted from the mobile home she has lawfully occupied as co-resident for the past 3
years since 2012. Shipley has no other adequate remedy at law for the relief sought
in this petition.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES


STANDARD OF REVIEW [DE NOVO]
Where evidence is not in dispute, a determination of a legal issue is a legal question
subject to de novo review. 5 The Panel is not bound by a trial court but makes its own
independent interpretation. 6
APPEALABILITY & PROCEDURE TO APPEAL
Denial of a motion to disqualify is not an appealable order and may only be
challenged by a writ petition to the appropriate court of appeal. CCP 170.3(d)
Although Stubblefield filed and prosecuted this case in UD limited jurisdiction,
Judge Kyle Brodie just transferred this case to Department S28. There is nothing in
his transfer order indicating if this case has been reclassified to unlimited jurisdiction.
Accordingly, Shipley does not know where she should file a writ; i.e. in the Appellate
Division or Fourth District Court of Appeal. To avoid rejection for untimely filing,
Shipley files this writ petition in both courts, pending further clarification by the court.
Stubblefield is treating this case as if it remains in limited jurisdiction; i.e. his attorney
continues to serve discovery motions on truncated 5-day notice.

ARGUMENTS:
I.

COURT VIOLATED DUE PROCESS BY DENYING ORAL ARGUMENT


The United States Supreme Court has emphasized, on numerous occasions, that the

right to due process, at a minimum, guarantees citizens the right to be heard that is,
an opportunity to present objections and arguments with regard to governmental actions
that may result in a deprivation of their life, liberty, or property. Mullane

Dial 800 v. Fesbinder (2004) 118 CA.4th 32, 42; Warburton/Buttner v. Supr. Court
(2002) 103 CA. 4th 1170, 1180

Rader Co. v. Stone, 178 CA.3d @ 20; Rodas v. Spiegel (2001) 87 C.A. 4th 513, 517
7
Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Company, 339 U.S. 306, 314 (1950)
8

The Mullane Court expressed the fundamental right to be heard as follows:


Many controversies have raged about the cryptic and abstract words of the
Due Process Clause but there can be no doubt that at a minimum they require
that deprivation of life, liberty or property by adjudication be preceded by notice
and opportunity for hearing appropriate to the nature of the case. Id @ 313
see also, e.g., Nelson v. Adams USA, Inc., 529 U.S. 460, 466 (2000);
Richards v. Jefferson County, Alabama, 517 U.S. 793, 797 n.4 (1996);
Grannis v. Ordean, 234 U.S. 385, 394 (1914); Brinkerhoff-Faris Trust & Sav.
Co. v. Hill, 281 U.S. 673, 678 (1930)
Once Judge Sachs realized McCarrons brother had just died, and her daughter
was hospitalized in a diabetic coma, he should have continued the CCP 170.6(a)(2)
motion until after April 3, 2015 as she requested. Any compassionate person would
understand the emotional trauma a person experiences at the death of a close sibling,
and should understand the effect of a daughter on the edge of death on her mother.
Instead, Judge Sachs issued a perfunctory continuance of scheduled hearing dates
(from 3/18/15 to 4/10/15) but refused to continue dates for opposition---for the three
motions already set, and even accepted a FOURTH and FIFTH motion to be filed
while McCarron was grieving the death of her brother and tending to her daughter,
for 4/10/15-pummeling Duffy with yet another 127 pages and 219 pages in motions.
Shipley had 3 motions under submission in Department 7 in Fontana when Judge
Kyle Brodie transferred her case to Judge Sachs in S28. Stubblefield had 3motions.
Despite Duffys urgent need for continuance Sachs refused to vacate his motions.
Instead the court reset his 3 hearings to S28 to be heard on the same day as he set.
As to Shipleys 3 pending motions, they were not re-set to S28 like he did for plaintiff.
Instead Shipleys pending motions were vacated to impose a significant burden on
Duffy to re-submit her 3 extensive motions to compel over again. Sachs did the same
thing with Shipleys extensive attorney fee motion. Sachs vacated her motion, then
refused to let McCarron re-notice the hearing based on papers already filed & served.
Sachs goes out of his way to create as many burdens as he can create for McCarron.
9

II. Sachs violated 170.3 (a)(2) when, as Presiding Judge of Civil Cases in Justice
Center, he did not submit disqualification to Marsha Slough, the Presiding Judge?
In Rossco Holdings 8 the appellate court held disqualification occurs when the
facts creating disqualification arise, not when the disqualification is established,
and a disqualified judges orders are void, regardless of whether they happen t
have been legally correct. A partys right to disqualify a judge, commissioner, or
referee for prejudice is automatic in the sense that the partys good-faith belief in
the prejudice is sufficient without proof of any facts showing actual prejudice 9
The court in Bravo 10 held if a CCP170.6 motion is timely filed in proper form,
the court must accept it without further inquiry, the disqualification is effective
immediately, and as a remedial statute the statute is liberally construed in favor of
the allowing the peremptory challenge and a challenge should be denied only if
the statute absolutely forbids it
The Supreme Court has stated courts must be conducted in a manner as will avoid
suspicion of unfairness. Prejudice, being a state of mind, is very difficult to prove
and, when a judge asserts that he or she is unbiased, courts are naturally reluctant to
determine he or she is prejudiced. To ensure confidence in the judiciary and avoid the
suspicion that might arise from the belief of a litigant that the judge is biased, the
Legislature could reasonably conclude a party should have an opportunity to obtain
disqualification of a judge for prejudice, on a sworn statement, without being required
to establish it as a fact to the satisfaction of a judicial body. 11

III. SACHS FINDING 170.6 (a)(2) DOES NOT APPLY IS CLEAR ERROR
In the transcript of the 3/18/15 hearing (Exh. 6, pg 36, ln 6) Judge Sachs
admits the Appellate Panel ordered him to strike the words or resident from
the final judgment for Shipley, remarking it was harmless error. It was
hardly harmless to 675,000 mobile home residents, including Shipley,
who would be subject to arbitrary eviction under Civil 798.56(d) with Judge
Sachs insertion of those words into the judgments citation of the code section.
It was hardly harmless error when it caused McCarron another years delay in
obtaining attorney fees (Sachs refused to award them while case was on appeal as
to the words or resident.) Sachs said he had no jurisdiction, as he also held when
he refused to order Stubblefield to restore utilities to the home after our electric pedestal
was mysteriously burned out. Again, Sachs said he had no jurisdiction during appeal.
However, when the shoe was on the other foot (Stubblefield asked for an order
expunging our valid lis pendens while the case was still on appeal) Sachs had no
problem with jurisdiction then. When we argued there was no jurisdiction Sachs held
there was jurisdiction to expunge it.
Sachs also argues the case was not reversed but rather one issue was reversed; i.e.
Judge Sachs was ordered to strike or resident. Sachs misrepresents the ruling.
Appellate panel found several other errors, but Sachs conveniently omitted them in the
transcript. They held he SHOULD NOT HAVE LET STUBBLFIELD WRITE
SHIPLEYs final judgment in violation of court rules. He did that purely to advocate
for Stubblefield; to let HIM write the final judgment to convert him into a winner.
Panel also held he erred when he entered judgment without waiting 10 days for
objections in violation of Local Rules. As explained above, these errors were not
harmless. Duffy had to pursue another appeal, wait another year for fees, pay for
transcripts and spend hundreds of hours on research, writing, and oral arguments.

11

Three courts already found there does not have to be a new trial in order
for a party to disqualify a Judge under CCO 170.6(a)(2). Even if the Judge
only has to decide ONE ISSUE when the case is returned after an appeal, if the
Judge has to rule on ONE substantive issue a party is entitled to disqualify.

12

Stubblefield made this same argument and the appellate court granted relief;
i.e. Stubblefield was entitled to disqualify on remand. See footnote 12.

Citing Stegs, supra the Hendershot v. Supr Court (footnote 12) at page 864 holds:
[1] The issue, then, is whether our remand order upon Hendershot's
section 908 motion for restitution called for a "new trial" within the
meaning of section 170.6, subdivision (2). We conclude that it did. 864
The 1985 amendment to section 170.6 was prompted by concern that "...
a judge who had been reversed might prove to be biased against the party
who successfully appealed the judge's erroneous ruling at the original trial."
(Stegs Investments v. Superior Court, supra, 233 Cal.App.3d at p. 575.)
In Stegs, supra (fn 12) the appellate court held:
"The legislative history of the 1985 amendment suggests that the
applicability of [section 170.6] does not turn on ... whether the issue(s)
to be resolved on remand are limited, but what the court must do to
resolve them. Our remand to the trial court was not for the
purpose of causing it to perform a ministerial act, such as the
execution of a mathematical calculation. It was, instead, for the
purpose of receiving evidence and resolving a factual issue: whether,
in paying the amount of the judgment against him, Hendershot acted
for himself alone or for the Shadowood Corporation.
The former law strictly limited motions for new trial to cases in which
an issue of fact had been adjudicated, and denied its application to other
cases, such as those in which a dismissal was ordered after a demurrer had
been sustained, or where a judgment had been taken by default. (8 Witkin,
Cal. Pro, supra, Attack on Judgment in Trial Court, 22, p. 423.)
12

Hendershot v. Supr Court (Pac SoWest Invest., Inc.) (1993) 20 C.A.4th 860;
Stegs Investments v. Superior Court (Sprecher) (1991) 233 CA.3d 572; Stubblefield
Construction Co., Petitioner v. San Bernardino County, Respondent; City Of San
Bernardino et al, Real Parties In Interest, 81 CA.4th 762 (2000)
12

That rule was repudiated more than three decades ago (see Carney v.
Simmonds (1957) 49 Cal.2d 84 [315 P.2d 305]), and the remedy is now
quite broad. (See 8 Witkin, op. cit. supra, 23, p. 424.)
We see no reason why it should not receive a similar broad
construction in this case, encompassing a post-trial reversal and
remand for trial of a contested issue in which trial court discretion or
fact determination is involved.
Finally, our construction and application of the amendment is consonant
with the established rule that section 170.6, in guaranteeing a litigant the
extraordinary right to disqualify a judge, should be liberally
construed to effect its objects and to promote justice. (See Nissan
Motor Corp. v. Superior Court (1992) 6 Cal.App.4th 150, 154 [7
Cal.Rptr.2d 801] and authority cited.)

This case is on all fours with Hendershot, Stegs & Stubblefield v. Supr. Court.
Where a judge who was reversed, even on only one issue (Sachs was reversed on three
issues which the Panel found were harmless errors. These errors were not harmless
to us and 675,000 other mobile home residents subject to arbitrary eviction based on
the way Sachs wrote or resident into a statutory remedy applying only to owners.
Prejudice on the part of a judge was properly made a ground of disqualification
by CCP 170.6. Johnson v. Superior Court (1958) 50 Cal. 2d 693, 696
The transcript at Exhibit 6 shows the court is not even subtle in its prejudicial bias.
A litigant must submit to the courts control of the room, even if he is blatantly biased.
After a litigant has done so, he or she may demonstrate his legal errors on appeal. 13

IV Appellate Panel Has a Duty to Prohibit A Court From Exceeding Jurisdiction

Judge Sachs had stepped out of his role as independent arbiter and into a role of de
facto advocate by not forwarding the case to the presiding judge for reassignment and by
denying Shipley any opportunity to present oral arguments on disqualification.
This panel has a duty under powers delegated by our legislators in CCP 170.3 and
170.4. Acts exceeding jurisdiction must be restrained to ensure statewide uniformity. 15
The writ lies to prevent the exercise of any unauthorized power in a
case or proceeding of which the subordinate tribunal has jurisdiction..
Speaking generally, any acts which exceed the defined power of a court
in any instance, whether that power be defined by constitutional provision,
express statutory declaration, or rules developed by the courts and followed
under the doctrine of stare decisis, are in excess of jurisdiction. Abelleira @ 291

CONCLUSION
The court exceeded its powers by denying Shipleys motion to disqualify, by
failing to continue the motion to give her a chance to present oral argument or object,
and by failing to submit the motion to Marsh Slough, Presiding Judge as mandated by
CCP 170.3 (a)(2), where he is Presiding Judge in Civil Cases in the Justice Court.
Judge Sachs intentionally ruled on the motion, despite absence of Shipleys counsel,
as he thought due to her emergencies she would not be able to file a writ in 15 days.
The cruel and insensitive manner in which Judge Sachs handled McCarrons motion is
the best evidence of the extreme bias an animus he holds toward attorney McCarron.
HE MUST BE REMOVED FROM BOTH CASES UNDER STARE DECISIS.

I. Introduction

[General Rules on Summary Judgment]

(5-day notice in UD - CCP 51170.7)

In an action for recovery of real property, money claimed as due under a contract, or damages sought,
"where there are both issues of fact and law, the issue of law must beJirst disposed of." CCP $592.
It is the trial court's duty to determine the issue of law.
fact does not turn on a trial court's discretion.

'

Whether there is a triable issue of material

Under CCP 437c(c), a court must grant summary

judgment if all papers & affidavits submitted, together with all inferences reasonably deducible from the
evidence, and un-contradicted by other inferences or evidence, show there is noiriable issue, movant is
entitled to judgment as a matter of law. There is a triable issue of material fact only if evidence would
allow a reasonable trier of fact to find in favor of a party opposing the motion for summary judgment.
The purpose of summary judgment is to ascertain if the weighing procedures of a trial are necessary. 4

When a court decides an issue of law it must apply controlling statutory interpretations, as they are

binding under Stare Decisis.5 The court must consider all evidence set forth in papers, unless objections

are sustained under CCP 437c(c) 6 and all deducible inferences from them. CCP 437c(c) 7 A trial

court may not weigh the evidence like a fact finder to determine whose version is more likely true.

Declarations must contain evidentiary facts on personal knowledge--not ultimate facts or conclusions. 9
An assertion based solely on conjecture or speculation is insufficient to avoid summary judgment. 10
Defendant can satisfy initial burden to show an absence of evidence by plaintiffs admissions. 11
Plaintiff cannot raise new, un-pleaded issues in opposition papers or any issue based on speculation.12
Plaintiff may not rely on verified allegations in a complaint to show that a triable issue of fact exists;
plaintiff must set forth evidentiary facts showing a triable issue of material fact. CCP 437c(p)(1) (2) 13

10
11
12

Plaintiff may not create an issue outside of the pleadings. 14 Since plaintiff has a statutory duty to
respond to discovery, plaintiffs factually devoid answers showed plaintiff has no triable issue of facts.15
If defendants showing establishes facts justifying judgment, summary judgment must be entered. 16

II. Judgment for Shipley is Required as the Only Issue Was Already Decided As a Matter of Law
An admission is extended a very high credibility value in determining whether a triable issue exists. 17

3

Defendant may rely on verified allegations which are conclusive concessions of the truth of a matter. 18

Plaintiff admitted at a 2/10/15 hearing, through counsel, there is only one issue, as recited by his counsel:

MR. WILLIAMSON: The issue in this case, is whether, under the terms of
Ms. McCarrons lease, and the rules and regulations, regularly occupies the
home in order to have a resident, co-resident, sub-lessee, live there who was
under the parks age restriction. In other words, a sub-lessee or co-resident,

Express & implied covenants are questions of law decided by a court in summary judgment motions.19
Where the only material issue is a legal question the court must resolve it and grant summary judgment.

Morales 20 [if defendant owed a legal duty to plaintiffs to make sure their tenants obtained insurance in

the agreed amount].

15

In Uram v. Abex 21 a trial court found, as a matter of law, plaintiffs exposure to asbestos claims were

16

barred by a statute of limitations [CCP 340.2] after reviewing the complaint for when injuries occurred.

Finding there was no duty the court entered summary judgment for defendant.

17

The Supreme Court held a trial court may consider facts judicially noticed.22 CCP 437c authorizes

summary judgment based on judicial notice. 23 Summary judgment for defendant was affirmed where a

pilots responsibilities were established through federal regulations judicially noticed by a trial court. Id

If movants showing negates an element of the claim no other facts preclude summary judgment.24

Here, the only material issue presents a pure question of law; i.e. must the age-qualified prime owner

Declarations of Nancy D. McCarron and Bonnie Shipley to be considered with Ds Request for Judicial Notice

A. Rancho Santa Paula Mobile Homes v. Evans (1994) 26 CA.4th 1129, 1147 Must be Applied

Plaintiffs sham complaint is purportedly based on Civil Code 798.56[d] authorizing eviction for:

3
4
5

(d) failure of homeowner or resident to comply with a reasonable rule or regulation


of the park that is part of the rental agreement or any amendment thereto.
Nothing in this subdivision shall relieve the management from its obligation
to demonstrate that a rule or regulation has in fact been violated.

Plaintiff has the burden to prove Duffy failed to comply with a reasonable rule. It is a 3-Prong burden.

First, P must prove the rule is reasonable. Second, P must prove the rule is part of the rental agreement

or amendment thereto. Third, P must prove D violated the rule. If D negates Prong 1 there is no need to

ever reach Prong 2 or Prong 3. D negates Prong 1 of the test here as a matter of law as shown below.

10

Counsel glossed over Prong1 and 2 as if the 2010 anti-sublease rule had already been found reasonable,

11

had already been found to be part of the rental agreement or any amendment thereto; and the only issue

in this case (to go to a jury) is whether Duffy violated a reasonable rule which is part of her agreement
or amendment thereto. Plaintiff fails on Prong 1 as a matter of law. The court must apply Stare Decisis.
The Appellate court in Rancho Santa Paula Mobile Homes v. Evans (1994) 26 CA4th.1129, 1147-48
already found an anti-sublease rule is unreasonable as a matter of law if it is applied without consent or
without the pre-existing tenant agreeing to modify her lease to incorporate the new anti-sublease rule.
Because of the high cost of moving mobile homes, they are anything but mobile.
However, as explained above, a rule prohibiting subleasing affects the very nature of the
holding and may well cause the eviction of both the tenant and the mobile home owner.
We hold that such a rule, when applied retroactively--that is, against a homeowner whose
lease contains no such restriction and who has not agreed to the restriction--is contrary to
the stated purpose of the MRL and is therefore unreasonable.
Respondent claims that the regulation he seeks to enforce does not prohibit subleasing,
but only requires the owner to be one of the residents of the mobilehome. However,
the restriction would permit subleasing only if the home remained unoccupied or if the
homeowner were one of the occupants it is essentially a prohibition of subleasing.
Respondent contends that the restriction did not operate retroactively because it was
incorporated by law into the original lease. He argues that, since Civil Code, section
798.25 permits the making of new rules without the homeowner's consent, the
homeowner in commencing the tenancy agrees to subsequently enacted rules.
However, the argument begs the question. To be valid and enforceable, the rule must be
reasonable. A homeowner could not be expected to foresee a rule change effecting such a
radical change in such an important condition of his tenancy. Insofar as it attempts to operate
retroactively, such a rule is not reasonable.

Declarations of Nancy D. McCarron and Bonnie Shipley to be considered with Ds Request for Judicial Notice

This court must apply Evans, supra because it is controlling authority. Evans held an anti-sublease

clause is unreasonable as a matter of law. Summary judgment must be granted when defendant negates

the first element of what a plaintiff must prove at trial. There is no need for trial where Pron1 is negated.

If a defendant is charged with speeding at 65 miles per hour, a judge has no power to invoke a jury to
decide if 65 mph is a reasonable speed as legislators already decided 65 is a reasonable maximum speed
The court cannot submit a legal issue to a jury when an appellate court already decided the legal issue.
This court must apply controlling authority of Evans, supra @ 1147-1148. This negates Prong 1 as a
matter of law; accordingly the court must grant summary judgment to defendants.

PLAINTIFF FAILED TO ALLEGE LEASE WAS MODIFIED BY OPERATION OF LAW


Since Clause 29 of Duffys lease prohibited modification of her lease absent written consent or by
operation of law, and Duffy did not consent to the new 2010 Community Rules, the only way Duffys
lease could be modified is by operation of law. This means that under Civil Code 798.25 (b) the new
park rule implemented in 2010 (anti-subleasing unless owner regularly occupies the home at all times )
must be reasonable. In order to evict a homeowner under an alleged violation of a reasonable rule.
Civil Code 798.56(d) statutorily imposes the burden of proof on plaintiff (park owner/manager) to
prove that a homeowner violated a reasonable rule that is part of the rental agreement or amendment.

17
18
19
20
21

(d) failure of homeowner or resident to comply with a reasonable rule or regulation


of the park that is part of the rental agreement or any amendment thereto.
Nothing in this subdivision shall relieve the management from its obligation
to demonstrate that a rule or regulation has in fact been violated.
Plaintiffs complaint is devoid of any allegation that Duffys 2005 lease was modified by operation

22

of law in 2010 or at any time during her tenancy. The Evans court held that an anti-subleasing rule

23

could not be enforced against a pre-existing tenant if not incorporated in her original lease. Such ex post

24
25
26
27
28

facto application is unconstitutional and unreasonable as a matter of law. Evans @ 1148. This court
must apply Stare Decisis [Evans] and grant motion for summary judgment as a matter of law.
Plaintiff cannot prove Duffy agreed to be a prisoner within the 4 walls of her mobilehome in order to
be entitled to have a coresident share her home. There is no admissible evidence by way of affidavit that
plaintiff can counter with to show otherwise. Plaintiff cannot rely on naked allegations in its complaint.
Plaintiff must counter with admissible facts in affidavits showing a triable issue of material fact.
_________________________________________________________________________________
-5Defendants Summary Judgment Motion filed with Ds Separate Statement of Undisputed Facts,
Declarations of Nancy D. McCarron and Bonnie Shipley to be considered with Ds Request for Judicial Notice

Declarations must contain evidentiary facts on personal knowledge--not ultimate facts or conclusions. 25

An assertion based solely on conjecture or speculation is insufficient to avoid summary judgment. 26

Defendant can satisfy initial burden to show an absence of evidence by plaintiffs admissions. 27

4
5
6

Plaintiff cannot raise new, un-pleaded issues in opposition papers or any issue based on speculation.28
Plaintiff may not rely on verified allegations in a complaint to show that a triable issue of fact exists;
plaintiff must set forth evidentiary facts showing a triable issue of material fact. CCP 437c(p)(1) (2) 29

NO LEASE CLAUSE CAN DEPRIVE TENANT DUFFY OF HER RIGHTS UNDER MRL

Even if plaintiff could show a lease provision in Duffys lease which precluded the sharing of her

home with a co-resident, unless she occupied the home at all times (be a virtual prisoner within 4 walls)

10

such lease clause would not be enforceable as a matter of law under MRL statutes and case law below:

11

Civil Code 798.19. Waiver of homeowner rights void (Mobile Home Residency Law)
No rental agreement for a mobilehome shall contain a provision by which the homeowner
waives his or her rights under the provisions of Articles 1 to 8, inclusive, of this chapter.
Any such waiver shall be deemed contrary to public policy and void.

12
13
14

Civil Code 798.34 (b) Guests; Provision of livein health or supportive care (MRL)
A homeowner who is living alone and who wishes to share his or her mobilehome with
one person may do so, and a fee shall not be imposed by management for that person.

Otanez v. Blue Skies Mobile Home Park (1991) 1 CA 4th.1521 (first sentence) holding:

17

We hold that the tenant need not live in the premises full-time in order to be a resident

18
19
20
21

Notwithstanding the courts holdings in Evans, supra that a park rule requiring a homeowner to
occupy the home at all times in order to have a sub-tenant share the home was, in essence, a prohibited
anti-subleasing rule, and that all such anti-subleasing rules were unreasonable as a matter of law, the
court in Otanez, supra held that a tenant need not live in the premises full-time in order to be a resident.

SHIPLEY ASKS THE COURT TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE OF HUD WEBSITE

The Supreme Court held a trial court may consider facts judicially noticed.30 CCP 437c authorizes

summary judgment based on judicial notice. 31 Summary judgment for defendant was affirmed where a

10

pilots responsibilities were established through federal regulations judicially noticed by a trial court. Id

12

In applying mandatory authority of Evans, supra prohibiting anti-subleasing park rules, Shipley

13

asks the court to take Judicial Notice of HOPA.95 pdf (Housing for Older Citizens) which provides

14
15
16
17
18

exemption for over-55 park owners from complying with Title VIII of Civil Rights Act of 1968
[anti-discrimination codes prohibiting a landlord from refusing to rent to families with children].
HOPA.95 pdf is posted on HUDs website: http://www.hud.gov/offices/fheo/library/hopa95.pdf
The pdf is a 17-page Questions & Answers for park owners and tenants to use to understand how the
exemption works; i.e. 80% of park residents must be over 55 in order to qualify to maintain exemption.
Page 10 contains hypothetical No. 22 which is the idential fact pattern to Shipleys sharing lease:

19
20

Question 22

21

Are there circumstances under which a 55 or older owner/tenant might be temporarily


absent from a dwelling without affecting the exemption status of the community/dwelling?

22

Answer

23

Yes. For example, the 55 or older occupant may be on vacation, hospitalized, or absent for
a season without affecting the exempt status of the community. The resident may, if he/she
wishes, allow a younger relative or a house sitter under 55 years if age to live in the unit
during this absence. In either event, the unit would be included in the calculation of
the 80 percent occupancy requirement as long as the dwelling is not rented out,
the owner/tenant returns on a periodic basis, and maintains legal and financial
responsibility for the upkeep of the dwelling.

Time:&30 p.m.
Dept. S28 or to be announced
1, NANCY DUFFY MCCARRON, declare that I am defendant in pro per, attorney fir Bonnie Shipley,

nd make these statements based on personal knowledge, in support of Motion for Summary Judgment.

On or about 1-05-2005 I bought a mobilehome at space #333 in plaintiffs park and signed a park
lease with plaintiffs authorized agent. Betsy Voss, who met with me to review papers on 1/5/05.

I.

I signed 2000 Community Rules in effect when I bought the home on 1/5/05. (Exh.la, lb, Ic)
Page 1 of the rules, clause 2 recited that one person who signed the lease must be 55 (Iwas 55 then)
and all other residents must be a minimum of 40 years or older. I asked Betsy Voss about residents;
specifically, if I could share the home with another co-resident as I intended to use the home as a

second residence and office while in San Bemardino .asI had clients and business in the area.
Betsy Voss assured me I could have share the home, so long as the other residents were over 40
and I registered them as co-residents at the office. Betsy remarked that she had a live-in-boytliend
and her son living with her in her mobile home in the park. Betsy Voss said it would be no problem

I relied on representations. I saw Betsy with her boyfriend & son at Friday potlucks in the clubhouse
3.

I had to subniit a "net worth" statement to "qualiw for ownershiplresidency, acknow1edging the
"minimum age requirement" was 40 years old. This was underlined on the form. (Exhibit Id).

4.

My life from Jan 2005 to Jan 2010 (5 years) was uneventful. I had a series of co-residents share

my home from 2005-Aug 1,2012 (7 years) [Exh. 2.1 [Last names redacted to protect their privacy].

Only the title and first two sentences are relevant as they show lease agreement was always to share

the home--never as a sub-lease where I had no right of entry. Each co-resident fdled out a co-resident

5
6

applications, turned it into the park and was given a parking sticker for their vehicle from 2005-2012.
l
I got a letter from Community Manager Eva Stubblefield Hazard on co-residents.
5. On ~ p r i 13,2009
As underlined on a net worth statement from Jan 2005, and Betsy Voss confirmed in 2005, Hazard
also confirmed a co-resident need only be over 40, complete a guest application, go to orientation,
receive approval and a parking sticker for their car. No co-resident was denied approval. [Exh. 31
6. On March 18,2015 Wendy Durr applied to be my co-resident after Jim Tate bought a unit. [Exh. 4-a]

10

As shown by date of birth on 3118/10 Wendy was 50 when she moved in under our sharing lease.

11

She was born 5/8/59 so she would have turned 50 on 5/8/2009. She applied on 3118/2010. Wendy

12

was approved by the park, and was my co-resident from March 2010 until the end of July 2012.

13

On June 13,2012 Wendy Durr notified me she had bought the mobile home next door. [Exh. 4-b]

14

Even though Wendy Durr was onlv 52 the owner authorized her to buy the mobile home next door.
I believe this was done intentionally because the park wanted to steal my mobile home by not

15
16
l7

allowing me to share my residence with a co-resident. I could not afford to pay the full rent alone.
I believe this is part of a racketeering enterprise Stubblefield orchestrated to steal homes in the park
and convert them into a cash cow rental portfolio for himself. He wanted to eliminate all competition
7. In March 2010 the park hired a new law firm,
HARTJKING,who represents park owners and helps

l9

them orchestrate these racketeering enterprises whereby they steal mobile homes to convert to rentals.

20

To this end, HARTIKING attorneys replaced our 12-page benign park rules with a 50-page set of

21

onerous rules designed to drive everyone out. I did not sign or agree to new 2010 rules. [Exh. 5a-b-c]

22

This was attached to plaintiffs complaint as Exhibit 3. The fact that my signature does not appear on

23
24
25
26
27

the document is an admission by plaintiff that I never agreed to the new 2010 rules. I spoke out at a
clubhouse meeting in MarchlApril2010 and told Tom Parrish, a park managerbroker, that the rules
were unconstitutional and unenforceable. Parrish told me to sit down and shut up. Within a week he
filed a complaint with the city about my home & has engaged in a witch hunt against me since 2010.
Home values dropped from an average of $100,000 to $5,000 within 2 years, as shown on Wendy
Durr's email. [Enh. 4b].

28
-2Declaration of Nancy Duffy McCarron supportingMSJ, Separate Statement of Undisputed Facts

1.

After Wendy Durr moved out in the end of July 2012 I signed a lease with a new co-resident name
Bonnie Shipley. The details about what happened to Bonnic Shipley are included in her declaration
from 20 13 attached here as [Exh. 6 a-dl Plaintiff filed a sham complaint to cvict Bonnie Shipley or
8/27/12 which plaintiff tenaciously prosecuted for 3 years as if millions were at risk. UDDSl205130
This resulted in 428 docket items, 60 court hearings, 16 volumes, and a 20-pg case summary report, ,
or 5 writ petitions and 4 appeals. The case is still open pending an award of attorney fees to Shipley
as prevailing party. Bonnie Shipley was the s rev ailing party now entitled to mandatory attorney feer

After losing UDDS1205 130, a mysterious fire occurred in which the mobile home nearly burned.
Alert neighbors put the fire out and testified that it started in the electrical pedestal which supplies
electric to my mobile home, which was under the exclusive control of the park management.

0.

Afta we repaired the damage and restored all utilities, and got a fmal signoff on the permit to

restore utilities from the DHC inspector, within 2 weeks plaintiff files this new sham complaint.
1.

Plaintiff has no valid grounds to evict Bonnie Shipley and I, based on a new 2010 anti-subleasing

(anti co-resident) rule implemented in 2010 because I never agreed to the rules, and the rule cannot t
enforced against use because an appellate court has already found an anti-subleasing rule is not
enforceable unless the tenant agreed to it in their original lease. I never agreed to it in my lease.

2.

Bonnie Shipley is nearly 54 years old, and well over 40. Before this case is over, through all the

anticipated appeals, she will be 55 and the entire case will become moot. Nonetheless, plaintiff fight
with malice aforethought to try to evict us with a vengeance. We are equally committed to defend.
3.

I attended a hearing 2/10/15 in which plaintiffs counsel admitted there is only one issue in this

case; i.e. whether I can have a co-resident under 55 under MRL. [Exh. 7a-d; 7b: line 20; 7e line 11
4.

I declare the above is true under penalty of perjury. Executed in Santa Barbara, California.

April 13,2009
Dear Resident:
w e a r e frequently asked about the length of time, according to the park rules, a guest may
reside with a home owner. We have decided to answer these inquiries in this letter to all of
oar residents.
The State of California Civil Code Provisions commonly referred to a# the Mobilehome
Resideney Law (MRL) require that residents provide management with information on all
persons staying with a resident over the 20 consecutive day grace period, or the maximum
30 days in a calendar year. This requirement is also in the Mountain Shadows Mobile
Home Community Guidelines. A daily guest fee of $20.00, when applicable, may be
chrrged for a non-registered guest who stays loneer than those legal grace periods. If you
have, or are planning to have guests reside with you longer than those limits, prior to the
commencement of hisher stay, your guest must:

1. Be at least 40 years of age;


2. Complete the guest application package;
3. Have the Community guidelines explained during orientation;
4. Sign Community Guidelines & Guest Addendum, and
5. Receive management's written approval at orientation.
Mountain Shadows Mobilehome Community does provide n special lifestyle. It is the
Resident's obligation to ensure that management has a record of all guests stayingwith yon
beyond the g a e e periods stated in the MRL. After that, the law is clear, and complying
with the rules is quite simple.
Any guest (son, daughter, brother, nister, parent, friend, e t r ) must be registered with the
park Failure to do so is a violation of the long-term lease and Community Guidelines.
Please contact the park oflice at 909-862-2400 with questions or to pick up the required
documents. We hope this answers your questions.
Sincerely,

Eva Stubblefield Hazard

Harmon and place is in excellent condition. Needing no repairs. There is another nice home in the park I am
now hearing also In excellent shape. These homes are really being given away. Sad for the sellers. Good for
those buying. I don't think u would want to sell for less than 5000.

Honorable Donald Alvarez

I, BONNIE SHIPLEY, declare:


1. I make these statements based on personal knowledge Wr the purposes stated directly above.

2. 1 am competent to make the staterhents and could testify to these statements if called as a witness.
3. On July 27,20 12 I executed a lease with Nancy Duffy McCarron (hereinafter "Duffy") to share her

residence at W c e 333,4040 E. Piedmont Drive. Highland, CA 92346. The lease I signed was entitled
,'RESIDENTIAL LEASE TO SHARd OCCUPANCY" in BOLD CAPS. Duffy made it clear that we
would he sharing the home when she was in Highland. I am 5 1 years old. D u e made it clear that it
was not a "sub-lease" or "sub-tenancy" butwas a sharing arrangement. The lease term was 6 months.

DufFy
me P E &Rule
~ No. 2 which recited that at least one person who had signed an agreement
.. showed
,
wiiji the park to lease a space must be -55and all other residents must be at least 40 years old. DuRy
said she bought thehome
. .
at age 55 in 2005 and had maintained a lease with the park owner since 2005.
..

4. Duffy showed me h a lease executed with the park on 1-5-2005. We looked at Clause 10 together.
Clause 1 0 recited that Duffy was authorized to have one co-resident WITHOUT PARK APPROVAL.

Duffy said I would have to register with the park office as her new co-resident to obtain a parking
sticker for my vehicle. DufTy and I both believed there would not he a problem with the park owner as
Wendy Durr lited in Dulfy's home as co-resident for owr 2 years without incident from age 50 to 52.
We md with Wendy Durr before I inoved in, while Ms. Durr was still Living in the home, during the 1%
week of July 2012. Wendy Durr said it was a very nice place to live and she had no ~roblemsthere.
Wendy Durr told me she bought the home next door from friends who had relocated closer to family.
5. On 8/2/12 Duffy told me she was going to drive over to the office to pick up a "w-resident ppacket"

60m Hanna, *om

D u e told me distributes them to new co-~esidents.A few minutes later Duffy

returned with a new co-resident package she said Hanna had given her for me to fill out and submit.
Duffy said it was the same package Wendy Durr had submitted to the owner when she moved in 20 10.
Duffy asked me to fill out the package, sign at the end, and return the package to the park office.
5, Duffyput one of her two parking stickers on my vehicle while I awaited a new sticker from the park.

Duffy departed after.b~ingingme the packet. Later that afternoon (8-2-12) a man knocked on the door.

I answered the door, The man identified himself as Marvin Freeman. the park manager. I invited him
~nsideand introduced myself. He loolied around and asked me my age. I said that I was 50 years old.

Mr. Freeman became hostile and told me I could no longer live there because I was not 55 years old.
Mr. Freeman said I had to move all of my stuff out the next day. I was so upset that I started to c ~ y .

Vlr. Freeman said if I wanted to live in the park I had to "find a sugar daddy over 55 to take care of me.

Mr. Freeman reached inside my open car window and ripped my parking sticker off a rear view minor
1. I applied for a civil harassment restraining order against Mr. Freeman and a hearing was set in 8-31

kt the hearing on the restrainii~gorder. Mr. Freeman admitted making the remark about the sugar dadd!
aking my

sticker off the rear view mirror, and also admitted that DWy was blacltlistd hy the
lark owners. The court denied my application for a restraining order.
I. On August 9,2012 we delivered my completed application for co-residency to the park office.

never received a response From the park office denying or granting my application for residency.
1.

I have no criminal record. While I was awaiting park approval a "5-day Notlce to Vacate" was

~ostedon my door and in the fiont of the mobile home on a wall. I did not undmtand the notice
because it recited language about the park's right to eject a "purchaser" d ~ moved
o
in without first
tbtaining approval for residency. It could not have applied to me because I did not purchase the home

10. I moved in as Duffy's co-resident, under Clause 10 of her lease, which recited that she had a right t

have a co-resident without park approval. Duffj' also showed me a copy of Civil Code 798.34(b)
1

which recited that any residenl had a right to a have a co-resident share her mobile home. Durn also
showed me a copy of the lease she signed with the park, and it showed that she had taken an a s s i g ~ l e n
of a lease from a Dorothy Buchanan who had taken an assignment from the first residents in the home.
These two assignments contained two lines with the words "resident" under them for signatures of mor

'

than one resident. Both sets of assignees showed two different residents, with different surnames.
It was obvious to us that 333 had a history of having co-residents which the park approved as residents
11. Subsequently a summons for "Unlawful Detainer" with a complaint entitled "Forcible Detainer"
was delivered to my home. It contained, as Exhibit A, a copy of the same notice (related to a purchase

which I had observed earlier posted on my door and on a wall in front of the mobile home.

12. Nancy Duffy McCarron is representing me in this case and also represented me in my petition for i
restraining order against Marvin Freeman.

13. I have entered into my sixth month of residing in the mobile home at 333. On the first day I lookec
4

at the inside of the home the last week of July 2012, while Wendy Durr was still living there, Duffy

I showed me the bedroom and bathroom she uses while here in Highland. It had her two twin beds, her
computer table with a computer hooked up to the internet by DSL she maintains in her name only.
The bathroom she uses had her personal items, shower curtain, and towels. Many pieces of hmiture in
the home belong to her. We share them. During my six months hcre Ms. Duffy has regularly occupied
the mobile home. When she is here, Duffy usually stays overnight for two or three days at a time, and i
times stays for an entire week. Several times per month she arrives and lives here for several days.
14. We are good friends and enjoy each other's company. We cook and share many meals together.
Duffy has three computers, three printers and various ofice equipment she uses regularly while here.
All ofthe utilities are in Duffy's name and she pays them herself. Duffy pays the park's monthly rent.
Duffy receives mail here regularly. Duffy stays here overnight on her way to and from Big Bear Lake.
14. I declare the above statements are true under penalty of perjury and California law. Executed in
Highland, CA on January 22,2013,

ROBERT WILLIAMSON, ESQ., NANCY DUFEY MCCARRON, ESQ. m t i n g Defendan&

(TRANSCRET OF AUDIO TAPE)


THE COURT:

Good Morning.. .

WILLIAMSON: Good morning your honor.


THE COURT:

11

OK, that's it. All right. Stubblefield v. ah, Duffy

.... [longpause] ... .

3n calendar today for three motions brought by dcfendant. I have read them. .. 1have read the
oppositions.. .. and
MCCARRON:

... Ms. McCarron, you want to speak to any of them?


Well, your honor, 1 had a preliminary item that I would like to address

before we get started. I have three oppositions and I would like to have the court ask counsel
to identify which lawyer signed the pleadings because we continue to have the violation of um
128.7 CCP code, (a), 127,I mean, I'm sorry, 126.7 (a) that says every lawyer shall sign his or hc
name to the pleading. And every, and every single pleading, whether it's a motion or oppositior

I
II

has three lawyers' names under the line and then there's a squirrelly squiggly q, ah, so you don?
know which of the three actually signed it. So I would like to have an identification of which
lawyer signcd it.
THE COURT:

the typical.. .as far as I'm aware.. . the typical custom

...everything ...

I don't know. ..I'm not saying everyone does it this way.. ..I'm not ..no, I don't know of any rulc

that requires it but.. .the last lawyer in the signature block is the one who signed it..
MCCARRON:

Uh, well.. .

MCCARRON: They don't work.

THE COURT: I'm going to let him finish.


MCCARRON: OK.
WIL1,IAMSON: Counsel didn't address the deficiency of the notice itself. ... It didn't even
require a response. We objected to the notice, without waiving, nnd further responded, without
waiving the objection to the notice. It failed to comply with 203 1.10 with regard to time,
location, and where documents would be produced.

THE COURT:

(sound of finger drumming or mouse rolling)

WILLIAMSON: It's not timely served under CCP 2013 [c], 2016.050. and 203 1.30 [c]2
there's unreasonable time and location for production [inaudible] in Santa Barbara.

THE COURT:

(sigh)

WILLIAMSON: CCP 203 1.30 or 030 [c] 2. Again, with regard to counsel's argument that
it's incumbent upon the responding party to bring a motion for a protective order, instead of
filing objections, there's no authority for that. When the document demand is objected to, the
burden shifts to the propounding party under 3 lo., ...203 1 . 3 10(a) to the propounding party to
show cause why these documents are relevant to the subject matter of the action, how they woul~
tend to prove or support a defense, or disprove a claim by the plaintiff. There is ahsoIutely no
showing in this motion to that effect at all. With regard to the documentation, the interrogatorie!
which were completely deficient, do not comply with the code.. urn, or ancient move-in moveout dates of other residents are irrelevant to this action. The issue in this case. is whether, under
the terms ofMs McCarron's lease. and the rules and regulations, ah, regularly occupy the home
in order to have ah a resident, co-resident, sub-lessee, live there who was under the park's age
restriction.

THE COURT: (several thumps)


HU&yi

o w Z / 1 0 / 1 5 - p $ j O 10

WILLIAMSON: In other words, a sub-lessee or co-resident, under the terms of the lease
and the park rules and regulations, cannot reside there without the homeowner, the age-qualified
prime owner staying there on a regular basis, living there on a regular basis. That's the subject
matter of this action. Furthermore, I don't care how the amendment act, the Housing for Older
Persons is an exemption to a claim for familial discrimination. There's no affirmative defense ir
this action, that there's been a unfair housing practice based upon familial status. Neither Ms.
Shipley nor Ms. McCarron did bring that claim, because neither one of 'em was seeking to be
domiciled with a child under the age ...of 18 years of age. And, familial status is defined under
FHAA.
THE COURT:

(metallic sound)

WILLIAMSON: So, at..it's a red herring to say oh well, we have, they have, we have, we
can prove, that they don't comply with the exemption. That's the same thing as saying, Judge,
you have to decide in the abstract, whether if a claim of familial-status discrimination was
brought, they couldn't prove their exemption. That is tantamount to an advisory opinion. And
it's not based on concrete fact or a claim under Title 8 of familial discrimination which both the
regulations and the case law that have recited it say, it has to bepending before we have an
obligation to prove that ah we comply with the terms of the statutory exemption the Housing for
Older Persons. The purpose, and we pointed this out in both, in Ms. McCarron's emails she had
mailed to us, is the reason she wants the move-in move-out and ages of every resident in the
I

park, and the name of every resident in the park, is so that she can gather this information for a
separate lawsuit that she is preparing that she says is a "R I C 0"action against the property

owner. That's the purpose in gathering this information. It's an ulterior purpose of not for
discovery in this case, just for use in some other case that she is preparing which is a manifest

abuse of discovery in this case. Thank you.

Shipley asks to Notice HOPk95 pdf (Housing for Older Citizens) exemption for over-55 park owners.
HOPA.95 pdf is posted on HUD's website: httpd/www.hud. ~ov/offices/fheo/librarly/hova95.pdf
The pdf is a 17-page "Questions & Answers" for park owners and tenants to use to understand how the
exemption works; i.e. 80% of park residents must be over 55 in order to qualify to maintain exemption.
Page 10 contains hypothetical No. 22 which is the idential fact pattern to Shipley's sharing lease:
"Question 22
Are there circumstances under which a 55 or older owner/tenant might be temporarily
absent from a dwelling without affecting the exemption status pf the coinrnunity/dwelling?
Answer
Yes. For example, the 55 or older occupant may be on vacation, hospitalized, or absent for
a season without affecting the exempt status of h e community. The resident may, if he/she
wishes, allow-ayounger relative or a house sitter under 55 years if age to live in the unit
during this absence. In either event, the unit would be included in the calculation of
the 80 percent occupancy requirement as long as the dwelling is not rented out,
the ownerhenant returns on a ~eriodicbasis, and maintains legal and financial
responsibility for the upkeep of the dwelling."

Questions and Answers


Concerning the Final Rule Implementing
the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995 (HOPA)
Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (the Federal Fair Housing
Act), as amended by the Fair Housing Amendments Act of 1988 (the Fair
Housing Act), prohibits discrimination in housing and real estate-related
transactions based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap and
familial status (in general, the presence of children under the age of 18 in the
household). The prohibition against discrimination based on familial status
became effective March 12, 1989. The Act contained a provision exempting
"senior" housing from the prohibition against familial status discrimination.
The Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), signed into law by
President Clinton on December 28, 1995, amended the housing for older
persons exemption against familial status discrimination. The HOPA modified
the statutory definition of housing for older persons as housing intended and
operated for occupancy by at least one person 55 years of age or older per unit.
It eliminated the requirement that housing for older persons have significant
services and facilities specifically designed for its elderly residents. It required
that facilities or communities claiming the exemption establish age verification
procedures. It established a good faith reliance defense or exemption against
monetary damages for persons who illegally act in good faith to exclude
children based on a legitimate belief that the housing facility or community
was entitled to the exemption.
Ouestion 1
For the purpose of HOPA, what is a housing community o r facility?
What are some typical examples of a housing, community o r facility?
Answer
A housing community or facility is any dwelling or group of dwelling units
governed by a common set of rules, regulations or restrictions. A
of a
single building may not be considered a housing facility or community. Typical
examples include: a condominium association; a cooperative; a property
governed by homeowners or resident association; a municipally zoned area; a
leased property under common private ownership; a manufactured housing
community, a mobile home park.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

Ouestion 2
May an owner of single family houses that are dispersed throughout a
geographical area, and who is not otherwise exempt under the Fair
Housing Act, qualify as a "housing community or facility" and claim the
exemption?
Answer
No. The common use of the terms "housing community" and "facility" applies
to dwelling units which are in the same location and have some relationship to
each other. The dwelling units in a housing community or facility must share a
common set of rules, policies, and procedures, that is applied to all of thc
dwellings in the community or facility. Further, although there is no required
stated minimum number of dwelling units that must be present for the
exemption to apply, there must be a sufficient number of dwelling units to
constitute a "community" or "facility" in the common meaning of those terms.
One single family dwelling or a duplex would not qualify as a "housing
community or facility."
Ouestion 3
What must a housing community or facility do to qualify for the 55 or
older housing for older persons exemption?
Answrer
In order to qualify for the exemption, the housing community/facility must
satisfy each of the following requirements:
a) at least 80 percent of the occupied units must be occupied by at least
one person 55 years of age or older per unit;
b) the owner or management of the housing facility/community must
publish and adhere to policies and procedures that demonstrate an
intent to provide housing for persons 55 years or older; and
c) the facility/community must comply with rules issued by the
Secretary for verification of occupancy through reliable surveys and
affidavits.

Ouestion 4
** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

What are some examples of the types of policies 5 ,:.d procedures that
would demonstrate an intent to provide housing <.a7..persons 55 years of
age or older?
Answer
Examples include:
a) the written rules, regulations, lease provisl-ns, deed or other
restrictions,
b) the actual practices of the owner/manage::,;:;~t of the housing
facility/community used in the e n f o r c e m ~ & othe
f rules;
c) the kind of advertising used to attract prospective residents to the
housing facility/community as well as the manner in which the
facility/community is described to prospective residents;
d) the housing community's/facility's age verification procedures, and
its ability to produce, in response to a familial status complaint,
verification of required occupancy.
Ouestion 5
May a housing facility or community advertise as "adult" housing and still
demonstrate the intent to be housing for older persons?
Answer
Use of the word "adult" or "adult community" in an advertisement, sign or
other informational material, or when describing the facility or community to
prospective renters or purchasers or members of the public, does not
demonstrate an intent to be housing for older persons as defined by the final
rule. The use of these terms, on the other hand, does not destroy the intent
requirement of HOPA. If a facility or community has clearly shown in other
ways that it intends to operate as housing for older persons, and meets the 80%
requirement, and has in place age verification procedures, the intent
requirement can be met even if the term "adult" is occasionally used to describe
it. The Department will look at the totality of the circumstances in the
investigation of a complaint alleging that the facility or community does not
qualify as housing for older persons.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION *'

Question 6
How many days after the effective date of the final rule implementing
HOPA does a facility/community have to develop routine procedures for
determining the occupancy of each unit, including age verification?
Answer
The housing community/facility has 180 days after the effective date of the
rule, May 3, 1999, to develop the appropriate procedures that should constitute
a part of its normal leasing and purchasing procedures. However, if a housing
facility or community is not now but intends to become eligible for the
exemption, it should not delay development of appropriate procedures.
Question 7
What information should a housing provider include in its survey of
residents in order to calculate whether the community or facility meets the
80% requirement of HOPA?
Answer
The owner or manager should obtain the total number of units in the housing
community or facility. From that number, the following units should be
excluded from the calculation of the 80% requirement:
a) the number of units that have been continuously occupied by the
same household since September 13, 1988, and the household did
not contain and does not currently contain at least one person over
the age of 55;
b) the number of unoccupied units (see question 22);
c) the number of units occupied by employees of the housing facility or
community who are under 55 years of age, and who provide
substantial management and maintenance services to the housing
facility or community
d) the number of units occupied solely by persons who are necessary or
essential to provide medical and/or health and nursing care services
as a reasonable accommodation to residents.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

The owner or management then should calculate the percentage of the


remaining number of units that are occupied by at least one person age 55 or
over as of the date of the survey or the alleged date of violation of the Act.
Ouestion 8
What is considered reliable age verification documentation?
Answer
The following documents are considered to be reliable for age verification:
birth certificate, drivers license, passport, immigration card, military
identification, or any other state, local, national or international documentation,
provided it contains current information about the age or birth of the possessor.
Ouestion 9
Is there any other documentation that would be considered reliable for age
verification?
Answer
Yes. A self certification in a lease, application affidavit, or other document
signed by an adult member of the household asserting that at least one occupant
in the unit is 55 years of age or older will satisfy this requirement.
Ouestion 10
What recourse is there for the owner or management of the housing
community or facility if the occupants in the household refuse to
cooperate in providing documentation regarding their age?
Answer
The housing/community facility may, if it has sufficient evidence, consider the
household to be occupied by at least one person who is 55 years or older.
Statements made under penalty of perjury from third party individuals who
have knowledge of the age of the occupants of a household may be used when
the household itself refuses to cooperate by providing age verification. Other
information, such as statements indicating age in prior applications may be
acceptable. In addition, the facility/community may base its decision on
government documents such as census data. The census data referred to is
household censuses that are conducted by many cities and towns.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

Ouestion 11
How frequently should a honsing/community provider update its lists of
occupants to be in compliance with the age verification requirements of
HOPA? Are there any consequences if a housing provider fails to update
its list of residents?
Answer
HOPA requires that a housing facility/community re-survey its lists of
residents every two years to ensure that the 80% requirement is met. A housing
community's or facility's failure to survey or re-survey its list of occupants in
accordance with its age verification procedures does not demonstrate intent to
housing for older persons, and could jeopardize the housing community's status
as 55 or older housing.
Ouestion 12
How long should a housing communitylfacility retain its records of survey
information that show it meets the 80 percent requirement?
Answer
The records referred to in Answer 9 above need to be kept as long as the
housing community/facility intends to proffer its exempt status.
Ouestion 13
Are the surveys and affidavits used to gather information about the
facility's/community's residents admissible in an administrative or judicial
proceeding under the Fair Housing Act?
Answer
Yes.
Ouestion 14
What does the ratio or percentage of 80120 portion of housing mean?
Answer
HOPA requires that at least 80 percent of the occupied units must be occupied
by at least one person 55 or older. The remaining 20 percent of the units may
be occupied by persons under 55, and the community/facility may still qualify
for the exemption.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION "

Ouestion 15
Is it lawful to advertise or market the 20 percent portion of the units not
required to be occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older to
prospective tenants/purchasers under age 55 and to families with
children?
Answer
Yes. However, the marketing must be done in a way that identifies the
facilitylcommunity as housing intended for older persons. Advertising and
marketing must not be inconsistent with the intent. Further, the
facility/community needs to plan with care any attempt to sell or rent the entire
20 percent portion of the remaining units to incoming households under age 55,
because it could risk losing the exemption if some occupants over 55 die, with
surviving spouses or heirs who are under 55 years of age. Such planning
should address notice to incoming households under the age of 55 regarding
how the housing provider will proceed in the event that the 80% requirement is
endangered.
Ouestion 16
May a housing facilitylcommunity impose an age limitation more
restrictive than that required by HOPA and qualify for the 55 or older
exemption?
Answer
Yes. For example, the housing facility/community may require that at least 80
percent of the units be occupied by at least one person 60 years of age or older.
The housing facility/cornmunity may require that 100% of the units are
occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older, or that 80% of the
units be occupied exclusively by persons aged 55 or older. However, the
facility/community should review other state and local laws, including fair
housing laws that may prohibit discrimination based on age, before establishing
policies and procedures restricting occupancy based on age, or affecting
survivors' rights to property, that are not covered under HOPA.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

Ouestion 17
If a housing facility or community meets the requirements of HOPA but
permits up-to 20 percent of the units to be occupied by families with
children, may the facility/community impose different terms and
conditions of residency on those families with children who reside there?
Answer
Yes. If a housing community/facility qualifies under HOPA as housing for
older persons, the community/facility is exempt from the Act's prohibition
against discrimination on the basis of familial status. The housing
community/facility may restrict families with children from benefits of the
community, or otherwise treat family households differently than senior
households, as long as those actions do not violate any other state or local law.
However, the community/facility is not exempt from the provisions of the Act
that prohibit discrimination against any resident or potential resident on the
basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability.

Ouestion 18
If a 55 or older occupant dies and leaves hisher property to a surviving
spouse or heir@) under the age of 55, what rights, if any, do the survivors
have to possession?
Answer
The right to possession by a surviving spouse or heir is not governed by the
HOPA or the Fair Housing Act. Whether an underage heir or surviving spouse
can occupy the unit upon the death of the 55 or older occupant is a matter of
state/local law or custom, and generally is governed by private contractual
agreements between senior housing developers and the individuals who
purchased or rented the dwelling. The provision in the Act permitting 20
percent of the units to be occupied by persons under 55 is intended, in part, to
prevent a housing facility/community fiom losing the exemption due to
situations where there are surviving spouses and underage heirs when the 55 or
older occupant dies.

Ouestion 19

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

I n the event that the sole 55 or older occupant dies, and a surviving spouse
or heir remains in the unit, is the surviving occupant counted in the 80
percent or the 20 percent portion of tbe units needed to meet the criteria
for housing for older persons?

Answer
The surviving occupant must be counted in the 20 percent portion.
Ouestion 20
How should a housing provider count, for the purpose of meeting the 80120
occupancy requirement, attendants or health care providers needed for
the reasonable accommodation of the disability of an occupant (including
family members under the age of 18)?
Answer
The attendant or health care provider or family care provider is excluded from
the calculation in its entirety. This is true whether the live-in person resides in
the same unit with the disabled occupant or in a separate unit. Neither
circumstance adversely affects the exemption of the housing
facility/community.
Ouestion 2 1
How is the calculation for the 80120 percent requirement affected if a 55 or
older individual purchases a dwelling in a senior housing
facilitylcommunity, vacates the unit, and allows an underage adult relative
to move in for an indefinite length of time?
Answer
In calculating whether a communitylfacility meets the 80 percent requirement,
it is the occupants of the dwelling units who are counted, not the owners. In
this example, the current resident, the underage adult relative, would be
counted in the 20 percent portion. Similarly, if a 55 or older ownerloccupant
to an underage
decided to vacate a unit for an indefinite period of time and
individual, the current occupant would be counted in the 20 percent portion.

" HUD INTERNET VERSION **

Ouestion 22
Are there circumstances under which a 55 or older ownerltenant might be
temporarily absent from a dwelling without affecting the exemption status
of the community/dwelling?
Answer
Yes. For example, the 55 or older occupant may be on vacation, hospitalized,
or absent for a season without affecting the exempt status of the community.
The resident may, if helshe wishes, allow a younger relative or a house sitter
under 55 years if age to live in the unit during this absence. In either event, the
unit would be included in the calculation of the 80 percent occupancy
requirement as long as the dwelling is not rented out, the ownerltenant returns
on a periodic basis, and maintains legal and financial responsibility for the
upkeep of the dwelling.
Question 23
Can a housing communitylfacility that does not now meet the 80 percent
occupancy requirement take any action to become eligible?
Answer
Yes. For a period of one year after the rule became effective (May 3, 1999), a
housing provider may reserve all new, vacant and/or unoccupied
unitsldwellings for occupancy until 80 percent of the unitsldwellings are
occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older. This does not mean
that the dwellingslunits must be held off the market; indeed, marketing the
units as 55 and over units during the transition period may be done as those
units become vacant.
Question 24
During this transition period, may a facility/community refuse to rent or
sell to families with children in its effort to qualify as housing for older
persons?
Answer
Yes. If, during the one year period the facilitylcommunity demonstrates its
intent to be housing for older persons through advertising and revisions to or
development of rules and procedures, and adopts age verification procedures, it
may refuse to rent or sell to applicants based on their familial status. Of course,
the facilitylcommunity may have to meet the requirements of state and
local laws with respect to making the changes required for the transition in its
covenants or other instruments binding on the property.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

Ouestion 25
Can the facility/community evict families with children during the
transition period for the purpose of becoming housing for older persons?
Answer
No. However, the housing facility/community can renew or not renew leases
for families with children if doing so does not represent a change in its
practices or does not violate state or local landlord tenant law. Additionally,
while the facility/community may not take any measures deliberately designed
to discourage families with children from continuing to reside in the
community, nothing prevents the offering of positive incentives that might lead
some families to seek housing elsewhere.
Question 26
What if a 55 or older housing provider, at the end of the transition period,
does not succeed in meeting the 80 percent occupancy requirement?
Answer
At the expiration of the one year period, all units/dwellings must be marketed
and made available to the public in general, including families with children.
Additionally, all restrictive operations policies which may impact negatively on
families with children must be rescinded.
Ouestion 27
When does HUD become involved in determining whether a 55 or older
housing community or facility is in compliance with HOPA requirements?
Answer
HUD's involvement begins in one of two ways: 1) when a person allegedly
injured on the basis of familial status files a complaint against a housing
facility/community and the respondent claims the exemption as a defense; or 2)
when HUD commences a Secretary-initiated investigation or files a complaint
based on information it has that indicates the need for an investigation.

* * HUD INTERNET VERSION * *

Ouestion 28
When must a person claiming to be injured by a housing
communitylfacility because of familial status file a complaint with the
Department in order for the complaint to be timely?
Answer
The comulaint must be filed no later than one year after the alleged
discriminatory act occurred or was terminated
Ouestion 29
Can a household which does not fall within the Fair Housing Act's
definition of familial status file a complaint challenging a housing
provider's attempt to provide housing for older persons?
Answer
No. The family cannot file a familial status complaint because it does not meet
the definition of familial status.
Ouestion 30
Can an owner of a dwelling file a complaint based on familial status if the
owner is being impeded in the ability to sell or rent the dwelling because
the housing facility/community is claiming to be 55 and over housing but
does not meet the requirements for the exemption?
Answer
Yes, if the owner has affirmatively undertaken to rent or sell his property and
can establish that the housing communitylfacility illegally (is not qualified
housing for older persons) interfered with the owner's ability to do so, belshe
can file a familial status complaint. Other complainant parties could include the
family with children seeking to rent or buy but was denied the opportunity, as
well as any real estate agent involved in the transaction.

* * HUD INTERNET VERSlON **

Ouestion 3 1
If an individual files a complaint based on familial status and the housing
community/facility claims the exemption as a defense, who has the burden
of proving, that the community/facility is in compliance with HOPA
requirements?
Answer
The community/facility housing provider has the burden of proving that it was
in compliance with HOPA requirements on the date of occurrence of the
alleged act or incident of discrimination.
Ouestion 32
Can a corporate entity avail itself of the good faith reliance against
monetary damages if the housing community/facility is found not to be in
compliance with the HOPA requirements?
Answer
No. The governing board, management company, or corporate entity of the
housing facility/community is liable if the facility/community fails to meet the
requirements, and cannot claim a good faith reliance defense against monetary
damages. The legislative history of HOPA shows that in creating the good faith
reliance defense, Congress intended to protect individual persons, such as
individual members of boards of governing homeowners associations and real
estate agents relying on information provided by the housing providers of
senior housing.
Ouestion 33
Since individuals, including individual members of a homeowners
association or a board of directors, can use the good faith reliance against
monetary damages, under what conditions might that occur?
Answer
An individual is not liable for monetary damages if the person acted with a
good faith belief that the housing facility/community qualified for a housing for
older persons exemption. Such a person must have knowledge, from an
authorized representative, that the facility/community asserted in writing that it
qualified for the older persons exemption before the date on which the alleged
discrimination occurr~d.An authorized representative may be an

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

individual, committee, management company, listing agent, owner or other


entity.
Question 34
Under what circumstances may an individual not use the good faith
reliance defense?
Answer
An individual is not entitled to the good faith defense if he or she has actual
knowledge that the facility/community does not or will not qualify as housing
for older persons, despite the fact that helshe received written assurances to the
contrary from an authorized representative of the housing provider.
Ouestion 35
Is an individual insulated from a liability claim for disseminating
information to others regarding the facility's/community's exemption
claim?
Answer
An individual who claims the good faith reliance defense based on hisher
actual knowledge and a written assertion from an authorized representative of
the facilitylcommunity may disseminate such information to others. Those
others may include real estate agents, multiple listing services, advertisers and
other print media who may, in turn, rely on the assertions of the individual
from whom they received the information, unless they have actual knowledge
that information is not accurate.
Ouestion 36
Is a publisher (newspaper or other print media) liable for damages under
the Fair Housing Act for accepting for publication an advertisement for 55
and older housing if the community/facility is found not to be in
compliance with HOPA?
Answer
No. Newspaper publishers and other print media that rely on the assertions of
the housing provider are not liable unless they have actual knowledge that the
housing does not qualify for the exemption.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

Ouestion 37
Does HUD certify that a housing, facility/community is housing for older
persons?
Answer
No. Neither the Fair Housing Act nor HOPA authorizes the Department to
certify whether a particular housing facility or community meets the
qualifications for housing for older persons.
Ouestion 38
If a developer is building new housing that is intended to be for persons 55
and over, how should the new units be marketed and occupied as the
facility/community is being developed?
Answer
Newly constructed housing for first occupancy after March 12, 1989 (including
a facility or community that has not been occupied in its entirety for at least 90
days prior to re-occupancy due to renovation or rehabilitation), must be
marketed as housing intended for older persons. It does not have to have at
least one occupant in each occupied unit who is age 55 and over until at least
25 percent of the units are occupied.
Question 39
How are state and federal fair housing laws that prohibit age
discrimination affected by HOPA?
Answer
Neither the Fair Housing Act nor HOPA covers age discrimination. Neither of
these federal laws supersede or otherwise affect state or local laws that prohibit
age discrimination. Housing community/facilities always should check all
relevant state, local and federal laws, and any requirements imposed as a term
of governmental financial assistance before implementing policies and
procedures that limit the eligibility of its residents.

* * HUH UDERNET VERSION * *

Question 40
Must state or local governments that have been determined to have
substantially equivalent laws to the Fair Housing Act change the laws
under which they operate in order to be identical to HOPA?
Answer
No. States and local governments with fair housing laws that have been
determined to be substantially equivalent to the federal law may have no
exemption from familial status discrimination for housing for older persons, or
may have more stringent requirements to meet an exemption than does HOPA.
Question 41
Must a housing community/facility file or register a declaration of intent
with the state or local unit of government in order to claim its exemption
as housing for older persons?
Answer
HOPA does not require this. However, the state or local government might
require the housing community/facility to register its intent to be housing f o ~
older persons. The facility/community should consult the appropriate
governmental body for requirements in this regard.
Question 42
Must a resident of a 55 or older housing community/facility join the
homeowner's association?
Answer
The Fair Housing Act does not require this. HOPA does not require this. This is
an example of an issue or aspect of senior housing communities that is
generally governed by independent law, deed restriction, or other legally
enforceable documents.

** HUD INTERNET VERSION **

Question 43
Would HUD apply HOPA retroactively to a familial status claim of
discrimination that occurred prior to December 28,1995, when HOPA was
signed into law?
Answer
No. If the alleged violation occurred prior to December 28, 1995, the
Department's investigation of a pending complaint will determine whether the
community/facility met the requirements for the housing for older persons
exemption, based on the regulations that were in effect at the time of the
alleged violation.
Ouestion 44
How does the Fair Housing Amendments Act senior housing, exemption,
and HOPA, affect eligibility requirements for federally funded housing
programs.
Answer
The Act and HOPA do not affect statutory or regulatory provisions of federally
assisted housing programs. For example, neither HOPA nor the Act change the
definition of "elderly family"' in federally assisted housing programs. HOPA
does not permit a HLJD funded public housing provider to designate a project
as an "elderly project" without HUD review and approval as mandated by
existing regulations. HUD funded housing that is designated as elderly housing
may not, because of HOPA, admit households that are not statutorily eligible
for the housing. No public housing development that is not designated as an
elderly development by statute or program regulation may exclude families
with children even if at least 80% i f t h e units are occupied by at least one
person age 55 or older. Federally assisted housing providers should continue
look to existing program statutory and regulatory requirements to determine
tenancy of those developments.
