Judge Elizabeth Feffer’s Draconian Orders Reversed

Finally the Court of Appeals, Justice Woods and Perluss in particular, recognize the nature of Judge Elizabeth Feffer’s orders separating children from their mothers.

This reporter watched a hearing between Elizabeth G and her ex spouse Gregory G. The words on the transcript could not capture the callous and bitchy tone of voice Feffer used in addressing the beautiful young mother.

Apparently the words spoken in a different hearing, where Elizabeth G was represented by attorney Robert Canny did appeal to the justices’ sense of decency.

You can read the “unpublished” opinion by clicking here, but the online version is only available for 60 days from when it is posted. If the link no longer works, write to bohemian_books@yahoo.com and I’ll try to send a pdf. When I have more time, I’ll try to convert the entire pdf to a word doc and post it here.

Elizabeth G Appeal

My favorite line from the opinion was toward the conclusion.  “Issuance of such a draconian restraining order was not proper unless failure to issue it might jeopardize [the child’s] safety.”

Something bothers me:  the practice of taking out the identifying names in the opinion, supposedly to protect the innocent children. The stigma from having the school, church, friends and neighbors told that Elizabeth was such a despicable human being that she could have no contact with her son was irreversible and defamatory. If the Court did not grant itself absolute immunity from liability, it seems Elizabeth G would have a slam dunk, multi-million dollar lawsuit against Feffer and her employer. It is the least the Court could do to print and broadcast a retraction on the cover of the L.A. Times. There is more good than harm done if the names of the victims of court abuse are published.

(Elizabeth G did not give me permission to publish her full name. The opinion was emailed to me by a third party and I recognized the parties from my prior investigation.)

 

 

Commissioner Debra Losnick and Kindercaust: Should You Use Your Vote To Oppose Losnick for Judge?

Commissioner Debra Losnick is running for judge and this turns our collective eyes back to Family Law Los Angeles Style.

Can we coin the phrase Kindercaust to describe what happened to the first generation of children who fell under the court’s authority due to the desire of their parents to get a divorce?

Judges did not march children into ovens, but they destroyed countless lives and left these children emotionally, educationally and sometimes physically crippled. Biased judges separated children from perfectly good parents and left children in the homes of probable abusers.

Some of the judges were motivated by drumming up business for their friends in the cottage industry. Some were sickos. Some were stupid.

When a parent-litigant began to make strides against the family court, often, the case would be transferred to the Dependency Court.

The dependency court was able to operate like the Star Chamber. There was little transparency. Somehow, not allowing open court was supposed to protect the young kids from embarrassment and stigma, but it really just protected abusive parents and less than adequate judges and commissioners.

Commissioner Debra Losnick served in the dependency court for many years. She is running for judge now, and thinks her longevity entitles her to the respect and power that comes with the upgraded title. She turns her memory from 1996, when the following report was made by County Counsel as told in the L.A. Times.

“The county counsel said two toddlers had been ordered by Commissioner Debra Losnick back to the home of their father, who was shown on a confiscated videotape lying on a bed, nude except for a T-shirt, having his son demonstrate how an older cousin had sexually abused him.

“The counsel’s report said that Losnick rejected an allegation of sexual abuse and ‘found that there was no risk to the child.’

“In fact, the [offended] judges said, Losnick rejected a sexual abuse finding but affirmed ‘inappropriate conduct by the father which placed the child at risk of harm.’ Losnick’s order allows the father to see the 3-year-old boy and his 1-year-old sister only with a monitor present, an arrangement that even the county’s own social workers have supported since this spring, the rebuttal states.

“On Aug. 27, the state Court of Appeal served notice that it would overrule Losnick and send the case back to another judge. The order admonished the lower court that the ‘purpose of Juvenile Court Law is to protect minors.'”

Just A Quick Idea About How to Save the World, Made In My Spare Time

Someone just wrote another negative review about Judge Elizabeth Feffer on The Robing Room website. It mentioned how she ordered an eviction of a poor family, even though they paid their rent, so the slum lord could raise the rents. I don’t know if there is truth in what they wrote.

But I am involved in a real estate dispute in San Diego and am pro per (representing myself). You can read about it at SanDiegoEstateSale.wordpress.com.

Thanks to the private legal training received at the hand of Alan Friedenthal and Elizabeth Feffer, trying to protect my children from their corrupt decisions, I am holding my own against a team of specialized attorneys. But, I am not normal. Some, not qualified to diagnose, call me insane. Really, I just have developed my logic, creativity, research and writing skills. God blessed me with good genes and an environment that encouraged achievement.

Most people are not so blessed. Heaven help them if they ever need to protect their rights, or their children’s rights in court.

Here is my idea of the week. Any one of you readers involved with the court may adopt it as your own and take full credit for saving the world. We will know the truth.

When someone wants to become a therapist, they are required to put in a significant number of hours working as an unpaid intern under the direction of a licensed therapist. I don’t have the exact number off hand, but think it works out to full time for a year.

Why not require all law school graduates to do the same? Or, even better, make it a requirement that all attorneys work 1/10th of billable hours on pro bono work?

Besides feeling good about themselves, the attorneys may also use their wins for the little guy in advertising and PR. Imagine. “William Spiller Helps Sunday School Teacher Save Her Home.” “Linda Grillo Gets Young Drug Addict Rehab in Lieu of Jail.” “Ken Sherman Wins $10,000,000 Law Suit for Children Who had Their Mother Taken Away.”

Hey…It’s my fantasy. I can end it any way I want to.

Would You Vote For Debra Losnick For Judgeship? I wouldn’t.

The Metropolitan News-Enterprise writer Kenneth Ofgang wrote about candidates for the open judge seats. Kenneth was never too interested in seeing my documentation regarding Commissioner Alan Friedenthal, and the Met News even endorsed Friedenthal when he made his unsuccessful bid for the promotion to judge. Ofgang’s motivations as a “journalist” seem suspect to me.

So, when Ofgang wrote about Commissioner Debra Losnick’s campaign, I had to read between the lines. Ofgang did not endorse Losnick. He did give her valuable “air time” for free, and did not dig too deep into the public’s opinion of the dependency court commissioner.

Losnick was reported as saying “She entered the race, she said, one (sic) the advice of a friend who noted that she had ‘worked really hard, for a long time, in a tough climate.‘”

Really? And that qualifies her for the more respectable title as Judge? She worked in the star chamber of dependency court, which until recently was not open to the public. One of the parents who was subjected to Losnick’s judgment told me horror stories about the commissioner. This parent is one of my most reliable sources and is a lovely woman with a teaching credential. It is one of the several cases I heard about, where an intelligent parent had her (or his) rights to a parent child relationship denied by the family law court, fought back against the evil, and had the case transferred to dependency court, where the facts of the case would be kept confidential.

If I was a voter in Los Angeles, I would definitely check off one of Losnick’s opponents.

Though, like in my favorite episode of The Simpsons, when a school election comes up, the children are asked to choose between a walking douche bag and a turd sandwich. I hope L.A. has better options.

FREE or cheap assistance with legal doc preparation

Sorry I have not written much on this blog lately. Criminals and scum bags seem to gravitate toward me, and I have other legal issues I am pursuing now. You can read about some by clicking here.

There is a wonderful paralegal who sells sample legal documents at a fraction of what an attorney would charge to produce the same documents.  I have paid $15 or $20 for a few documents, which, after inserting the fact set particular to my case, blew the other party’s attorney out of the water.

The doc writer, Stan Burman, also gives away free samples and reading the “teasers” can turn you in the right direction for writing your own pleadings. Mr. Burman does not know me and has paid nothing for this plug.

Freedom Fighter Successful In Convincing the Entire 2nd District of the Court of Appeals to Recuse

One of the people who is trying to clean-up the allegedly corrupt, unethical and unlawful behavior of several judges on the Los Angeles Superior Court had a huge success. This reporter would not believe it if she did not see it on Appellate Court letterhead.

Anthony Locatelli, who was involved in a custody dispute which he claims was made all the worse by Judge Thomas Trent Lewis and collaterals appointed to make decisions on his case, filed a civil suit against Judge Lewis.

On March 15, 2013, a letter was written by Assistant Clerk / Executive Officer Daniel Potter. It states:

“At the direction of the Administrative Presiding Justice of this District, I am requesting the transfer of the following matter to another Appellate District.

B240813, Anthony Locatelli v. Thomas Trent Lewis

The justices of this District have recused themselves from this matter. Thank you for your assistance in effecting this requested transfer.”

Can you help me get Steff Padilla off my case?

I can’t help too much, as I am not an attorney.

If she made no substantive ruling, think about CCP 170.6 (you get one get out of jail free card) or CCP 170.1, disqualification for cause. (CCP = Civil Code of Procedure. Google it.)

Someone should start a campaign to CCP 170.6 Steff Padilla and Alan Friedenthal every time they are appointed on a case. Unfortunately, people usually go into court with no experience and we are all taught to believe our judges are fair and decent people.

CCP 170.1 motions are routinely denied, but, if you get a lucky break and find enough evidence to support your claim down the road, and the judge is found to be biased on your case, you are supposed to get a motion to vacate all orders sustained. Unfortunately again, what is supposed to happen and what actually happens are two different things in LASC.

Also, an avalanche of letters to the CJP might help return justice to our courts. Download their complaint form at http://www.cjp.ca.gov.

Really, I Can Stop Anytime.

My intention is to focus my energy and time on other pursuits.

But your comments were so kind, I am compelled to say a brief thank you.

Also, I received an inquiry about how to complain about an errant commissioner. I wrote a response and then realized it would be easy to add that response here. So here it goes:

     One avenue is to file a complaint letter with the commissioner’s presiding judge. When your complaint is answered inadequately, file a complaint with the CJP.
     You can also file a claim, as you found in the link http://lacountydca.info/tsSueGovt.html. But judges have absolute immunity over issues where they have jurisdiction and the error was non-administrative. In practice, judges are given immunity for all wrongs they commit, the vast majority of the time.
     My greatest success was trying them in the court of public opinion. Print the facts of your case. WordPress will give you a free website and is easy to use. Be careful to avoid saying anything defamatory. Stick to facts. Not opinions. Label suspicions as thus. Attribute statements. Cite cases or print transcripts. There is an absolute litigation privilege. Anything said in court can be reprinted with an indication of who said it and in what proceeding.  For example, you would not write “Commissioner Friedenthal was biased and embroiled against me.” Instead you might write “Commissioner Friedenthal said on the record that he was reading my posts on CourthouseForum.” Then give a date of the hearing and the case number.
     This is not legal advice. This is information I learned while studying journalism at Colorado State University.
     Maybe the most important thing you can do is to meet other victims of court abuse. Choose your friends carefully. Ask to read their court documents. Use discernment.
     It is uplifting when other people know you are speaking the truth. Jesus said “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20) Thank you to my friends who gathered to do His will. God Bless.

Where in the World is Laura Lynn?

This is not “goodbye”. It is until we meet again.

My life is full and with the recent elimination of over 200 postings on this blog, my priorities just do not allow the time to rebuild the site in this format.

CourthouseForum was also deleted, erasing my early work, and my Examiner.com articles are not all accessible from one “page”.  Even the hard copy of my pleadings in case PD016769, Lynn v Lynn are difficult to find at the Superior Court. I have not had access to my file for years.

I can say there were over 34,000 views of this site alone, and that is only from computers that are recognized by the analytics tools. I am told that local Los Angeles law enforcement read my posts and higher level individuals at the DOJ kept tabs on what I was writing.

My children are both aged out. One of my primary goals in writing was to convince “The Court” to correct their terrible errors, to give my children an opportunity to know my super educated, wealthy family. My children had a birthright that was denied by Commissioner Alan Friedenthal, Commissioner Robert Zakon (ret), Judge Elizabeth Feffer, the Three Stooges at the Court of Appeals, Risk Manager Catheryn Lavender-Glen, Charlene Drummer at the CJP and the Men and Women in Blue in the Los Angeles Sheriffs Department.

My children have horrible mental health problems. They are both innately the most loving, intelligent, beautiful people I have ever met, and I am not just saying that because I am their mother. But neither is even close to reaching his potential as a contributor to society or in holding healthy relationships.

My focus now is turned toward repairing the damage to the mother-child bonds that were severed by the aforementioned court personnel and the Lynn Family. We also need to earn money to support the three of us.

So, I will not use any more time to write this blog. I will write a novel “based on a true story”. I will not publish it in the name Laura Lynn. That name will be phased out of my life.

All you have read from me was fact. The novel will allow me to express my suspicions that could not be aired without fear of having Friedenthal prevail in a law suit against me.

Because the buffoons in LASC were so prolific at ruining lives, my story may not be recognizable when I change the names. Hopefully it will be helpful at exposing, and perhaps slowing down the creeps who rationalize taking children from loving parents and selling them to their abusers, or drumming up business for their lawyer-friends and other collaterals.

As always my prayers are with the parents who are frustrated and broken; the children who are tortured; and the people who choose evil over justice and truth.

Amen.
