Does Black’s Law Dictionary Define “Bitch”?
Don’t expect too much from this post.
I slept a whopping 5 hours last night. This federal judge in California, Linda Lopez, gave me more needless work and I know if I didn’t spend the entire morning writing, she would order me to pay another $60,000 or so in attorney fees to my adversaries who hired $450 per hour attorneys to take on a self-represented litigant.
Really, with the idiotic rulings issued by the likes of Judge Linda Lopez and her blond twin Judge Susan Kaye Weaver in Arkansas, a sleazy litigant could get away with hiring a bozo like William Zac White and still win.
Lopez and Weaver are flip sides of the same coin… A Democrat and a Republican hypocrite.
Both are evil, unethical, conniving. Both will steal from the poor to give to their friends. I haven’t looked it up, but figure that to be the definition in Black’s Law of —-
Oh, do you want to read the documents I wrote while in a zombie like state? Here they are, your FREE Docs of the Day.

It keeps falling, but I need to take a break from the blog for a long weekend.
Can’t wait to see what happens when the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals tells Judge Lee P. Rudofsky that he needs to let a jury decide what the damages are when a debt collector forces a person to sue to make the phone calls stop.
Satan and Federal Court Judge Lee P. Rudofsky
No, I am not saying Judge Lee P. Rudofsky is Satan or the Anti-Christ.
I am just saying that we can learn a lesson by comparing the two.
Judge Rudofsky has now granted Portfolio Recovery Associates motion for me to pay their costs of defending against a lawsuit arising from incessant phone calls PRA made in an attempt to collect money I did not owe to them.
Along the way, Judge Rudofsky twisted words, lied, deceived and may have orchestrated the falsification of a transcript. I will detail my claims in my appeal and in other posts on this blog. Here is the big picture.
Judge Rudofsky is incredibly intelligent.
He studied at Cornell. He studied at Harvard. He lived in Israel for a year, and I presume he speaks Hebrew well. He writes in English with a silver “tongue”.
But intellect is not an indication of integrity. And Judge Rudofsky lacks integrity.
He lies. He deceives. He has no compassion nor empathy for the ordinary person.
He is a dangerous man.
(Being dangerous can be taken as a compliment of sorts. Sometimes I call my husband “cute”. Then I playfully correct myself. “I mean you look sexy and dangerous.” Judge Rudofsky should not take my comment about him as a compliment.)
Here are a few verses about Satan taken from the King James Version that remind me of Judge Lee Rudofsky.
Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
2 Corinthians 11:3
But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty… [which refers to Genesis 3:4-5) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
And Eve fell for it. Be on your guard. When you read orders written by Judge Rudofsky, know that he is tweeking the truth, whether through subtle deception or outright lies. If your case is disambiguated from the plaintiff who failed in front of Judge Rudofsky, the Judge may fictionalize the evidence to fall under the precedent that fulfils his agenda.
His agenda is to please those who control the most money, in exchange for prestige, power and possessions.
2 Timothy 3:13
But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
Matthew 7:15-17
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
Judge Rudofsky’s fruit is evil. He presided on a case filed by a self-represented, low-income, sickly woman against a billion-dollar debt buyer. He admittedly misquoted the plaintiff to say she agreed she owed a debt, ignoring the score of clear and concise statements that the woman did not owe the debt. He refused to let a jury decide.
The woman told the judge that all her assets other than those that are protected in bankruptcy were lost or taken from her since COVID-19. She showed that her efforts to re-enter the workforce by reviving her writing career resulted in a loss, at least in 2022. She said that she went to other courts to try to recover some of those assets but lost at the trial court and is on appeal. (Only 20% of appeals are successful and the number by self-represented litigants approaches zero.)
Judge Rudofsky ordered the woman, me, to pay over a year’s pension in costs anyhow. This is not a direct quote, but to paraphrase, he said “let her eat cake.”
FREE Downloadable Documents from FDCPA Case
My appellate brief challenging Judge Lee P. Rudofsky for granting summary judgment to defendant Portfolio Recovery Associates is due in about 49 days.
I need to file a motion to change privacy designations soon, so don’t have time to chat with you, my dear readers.
In lieu I am offering to you two documents pulled from PACER yesterday.
One is my reply to my motion for partial summary judgment. The gist is that when a debt collector agrees to zero out an account without an order from a court and does not issue a 1099-C cancellation of debt, the debt collector is admitting that the person named on the account is not liable for the alleged debt.
Portfolio Recovery Associates claimed that it just decided to zero out the debt “in light of the litigation”, and they admitted that my claim that I owed no debt was made in “good faith”, but Judge Rudofsky interpreted that to mean PRA “waived” the debt.
The second document talks about why the business records that showed my account details should not be kept confidential. Judge Rudofsky allowed for me to make the comment about the waiver and 1099-C issue, but made it clear that if I step over the line he will hit me with paying the debt buyer’s attorney fees.
If you have business documents generated by PRA that are not ordered confidential by a court, please share them with other readers by emailing a copy to bohemian_books@yahoo.com. Together we can show that, as the CFPB complained, PRA lying on affidavits in court and making collection efforts on an invalid debt is commonplace and therefore awards and settlements on state cases and FDCPA cases against Portfolio Recovery should be much higher than the usual $1,000 or $5,000 they get away with.
What is Court Corruption?
Court Corruption. It might look like a lawyer walking into the judge’s chambers with a briefcase full of cash and leaving without one.
It is usually more subtle than that.
Let’s look to my new favorite book: “The Student’s Reference Dictionary”, an abridged version of Noah Webster’s “American Dictionary of English Language”, 1847.
Corruption: 1. The act of corrupting, or state of being corrupt or putrid; the destruction of the natural form of bodies, by the separation of the component parts, or by disorganization, in the process of putrefaction. Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption. – Ps. xvi.
7. Bribery. He obtained his suit by corruption.
8. In law, taint; impurity of blood, in consequence of an act of attainder of treason or felony, by which a person is disabled to inherit lands from an ancestor, nor can retain those in his possession, nor transmit them by descent to his heirs.
Hey, that opens up the definition of corruption to a whole lot of common-place scenarios.
On a personal level, Judge Susan Weaver of Searcy County Arkansas allowed Mike Pietrczak and William White to commit fraud, the consequence which was taking possession of land from me and my descendants.
On the grander scale, when people oppress other people through battery and even murder, then take the oppressed people’s right to possession of land, that is corruption in the legal system. Even before there was a law on the books that made slavery or genocide “illegal”.
A corrupt court is a court that allows for manifest injustice.
Help Build a Public Library of Court Documents Free of Charge to Yourself
Qu’ils mangent de la brioche.
Our courts are supposed to be transparent and accessible to the public. Most are not.
For instance, the Federal District Courts use an electronic filing system called PACER. Public Access to Court Electronic Records is not paid for in full by tax dollars and filing fees. Citizens are charged 10 cents per page to view and download documents.
There is a cap of $3.00 per document for most filings. (Transcripts have no cap.) And each person is forgiven their charges if they do not exceed $30 per quarter.
If you are a litigant in a case and use electronic filing, which requires a PACER account, you receive one free access to each document in your case that does not count toward your quarterly charges.
Some courts, including the Federal Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas, won’t let non-attorneys who represent themselves file electronically. This seems to be a violation of the right to equal protection. A pro se litigant is required to print four copies of each document she files and drive it to the courthouse or mail it and hope it arrives and is acceptable to the clerk.
Let’s say you file 100 documents, each 25 pages. That is 10,000 pages at 10 cents each to copy, which equals an expense your represented opponent does not have equal to $1,000 for copies. Delivery to the clerk, whether by mail or in person, is approximately $30, so another $3,000.
If the judge lets your opponent designate material as “Confidential”, then you need to file another set of redacted copies.
If you want a file stamped copy for your records, in case something gets changed down the way, which has happened to me, you must include the download in your quarterly charges.
For someone like me who lives on a $639 per month pension, the costs of filing can use up her entire annual income.
The electronic filing manual and Local Rules contradict each other. The former forbids any access to electronic filing by non-attorneys. The later makes it permissible but only by filing a motion and having that motion approved. I filed such a motion and Judge Lee P. Rudofsky denied it. (See the Doc of the Day, at the bottom of this post.)
Judges like Lee P. Rudofsky and Billy Roy Wilson are deceptive or flat out lie about what a pro se litigant wrote in their filings when supporting the Corrupt Judicial Officer’s opinion. The ordinary person can’t afford to pull up all the documents that were the basis for the opinion, at 10 cents per page. So, few will see what was actually written or said in depositions and hearings.
The law libraries in Arkansas do not provide free PACER access to patrons. The libraries are not given free access and cannot absorb the cost.
In the Eastern District of Arkansas, you can pull up the documents for free at the kiosk in the clerk’s office. This means you must do your research during business hours. They do not allow you to load the documents onto a thumb drive or other electronic storage. It costs 10 cents per page to get paper printouts of the documents you might want to quote.
If you happen to have documents with a PACER file stamp, please send them by email to bohemian_books@yahoo.com. They will be featured as “Doc of the Day” for FREE download by the rest of us.
Think about signing up for PACER, which is free, and let me know if you want some ideas on how to spend your $30 worth of free downloads. Your service to our country will be appreciated.

Attorney William Spiller, Jr Still At It After All These Years – Do You Have the Docs?
This story from Radar Online talks about the infamous attorney’s latest exploits.
Over a decade ago, court appointed minor’s counsel William Spiller, Jr. lied bold faced to a judge. He asked for a journalist, me, to be removed from a custody hearing because he claimed the journalist was a potential witness. That was the first day I ever met the mother who was fighting for any time with her child.
The latest case Spiller is embroiled in is not a custody case, per se. He is going straight for the money. It is a probate case for the substantial estate of the late Nipsey Hussle. Spiller supposedly “represents” the rapper’s 14-year-old daughter, Emani.
According to Spiller, Emani’s mother made a surreptitious recording of the attorney and his client talking, then played it for the judge. Spiller is asking the court to make the mother turn over the tape, the device it was made on and $25,000 for his fees to get the tape back.
Why is Spiller concerned that others will hear what was said?
Emani did not hire Spiller. She had no input into who would represent her. To whom does the attorney client privilege belong? The minor? Her guardians who are trying to keep custody and control of a fortune? Or the People, since it is the government that appointed the minor’s counsel? What does Emani say about whether the recording should be published or not?
Another minor once said he had a discussion with his appointed minor’s counsel, Kenneth P. Sherman. Attorney Sherman told the then 16-year-old boy that he could live anywhere he wanted except for with his mother. The boy chose to live on the roof of the Oceanside Public Library.
It does not appear these minor’s counsel are taking the best interests of the children into account. It seems that they are more interested in wasting judicial resources and padding their own pockets. It seems like there should be some transparency about how these attorneys practice law, especially when you and I often foot the bill.
If you have access to any of the documents in the Nipsey Hussle probate case, please email a copy to bohemian_books@yahoo.com. They would make good Docs of the Day.
I am busy for two months working on an appeal. If I had the resources (time and money), I would file as an intervenor in the case and ask that the recording be unsealed (presuming it is sealed already.) Is there another parent out there who is having trouble caused by William Spiller, who might benefit from hearing the recording between William Spiller and one of his clients?

Isn’t It Ironic: How an Honest Clerk Corrects a Docket Entry – Not Like John Morrill’s Gang
I filed a civil rights complaint against the Clerk of the Court in the Southern District of California.
It stemmed from when deputy clerk, Jude or JPP, did a little favor for the opposing party. Try to follow.
In the underlying suit, I named one person in two capacities. One as a co-trustee of a living trust, the other as an individual. I was required to issue and serve two summonses to the same human, Linda R. Kramer.
For some reason, the Clerk left Kramer as an individual off the docket. This was very strange, because I originally named her as an individual only, and then filed an amended complaint naming her in the both capacities. So, the individual was left out in both iterations. Or her attorney and Clerk Jude colluded in an attempt to leave the individual out of the suit.
Linda’s attorney filed a response to the complaint timely, but he wrote that he represented only the two co-trustees on the cover. The attorney’s helper did not ask the clerk of the court to add Linda Kramer as an individual when he input the filing.
I filed a motion for clerk’s default against the individual two days after the response was due. (That is pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 55(a), for you legal types.)
Instead of filing a motion to set aside pursuant to FRCP 55(c), the attorney, Keith Cochran, asked Clerk Jude to change the docket entry to include the individual. The clerk did this favor. He did not add a note that said the entry was updated two days after the document was due and filed.
When I saw the change, I blew a gasket, read the riot act to everyone I could get on the phone and the clerk changed the entry back. Again, no notation of the change.
Then Clerk Jude refused to enter the default.
Judge Janis Sammartino thought it was just fine for Linda to skip a step. In fact, Janis added a snarky footnote in her order denying me any relief. She admonished me not to impugn the good character of the clerk or any staff of the court. It seemed intimidating to me, a pro se litigant who was up against six firms. I think the judge violated criminal code 18 U.S.C. sec. 241 – conspiracy against rights.
I let my suit against the clerk be dismissed. I am running low on energy and money and was not going to collect anything for my trouble. The clerk had free to him representation by a capable man with the Arkansas Attorney General’s office; the office the presiding judge worked in previously, as Solicitor General.
But I am appealing Judge Sammartino’s orders denying default against Linda Kramer and denying sanctions against attorney Keith Cochran.
Ironically, the defendants filed a joint paper today and the attorney entering it only named his clients. He left out Linda Kramer in both capacities and half a dozen other defendants.
Guess what? The appellate court clerk corrected the docket…with a note of the change.
And that, my friends, is Thursday’s Doc of the Day … in advance.
Judge Janis L. Sammartino’s Dishonest Statements Reiterated by Appellate Brief
The Doc of the Day is my Informal Reply Brief in a case that was originally presided over by Federal District Judge Janis L. Sammartino. The case was transferred to Judge Todd W. Robinson, and then passed off to Judge Linda Lopez. The subsequent judges failed to correct Judge Sammartino’s errors on reconsideration.

This is not legal advice. I am not an attorney.
In fact, I hope to find an attorney to represent me if the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals remands with instructions to give me leave to amend or proceed to discovery. That way my attorney can file the derivative claims against the attorneys who gave dual representation to the LLC and parties who had conflicting interests.

Find Clues Even in the Mundane
Today’s Doc of the Day might look at first glance to belong in the giant to file pile.
Lawyers come and go. Especially in a mega firm like Troutman Pepper. And it is commonplace to have an appellate law specialist handle an appeal, if one can afford one.
The name of Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC’s attorney who will handle the appeal I filed against the debt buyer intrigued me. So, I ran it through a Dogpile search.
If you run the name I used for two decades through a search engine, you would get hundreds or thousands of pages of results. Laura Lynn is popular as a first and middle name and as a first and last name. Especially for strippers. lol. I’m not kidding. I once tried and found I was in the wrong business.
Misha Tseytlin, not so common.
It was easy to discover that the attorney PRA brought on for the appeal writes for the Harvard Law Review, is a mucky-muck at the Federalist Society and was the first Solicitor General for the State of Wisconsin. Plus, he is the head appellate attorney at Troutman-Pepper.
At first glance, that is pretty intimidating.
But analyze the meaning. The PRA Group subsidiary came out the chute claiming the case was worth no more than $5,000 plus minimal costs. They put that claim in writing in an OOJ – an Offer of Judgment – before any discovery was done.
PRA has an inhouse legal department with a few thousand employees. They hire outside firms for many of the 3,000 cases they file per week in the United States.
If they think a jury would award a mere $5,000 if the judge lets the case go to a jury, why would they use anyone other than a flunky to handle the case against a 60-year-old layperson who has a health condition that saps her energy?
Well, I am that woman. Brain fog or not, my educated guess is that PRA is afraid of losing another $62,000,000 punitive damage award. And they should be.
****Fun Facts***
Judge Lee P. Rudofsky who presides on the case also wrote for the Harvard Law Review, also is entrenched in the Federalist Society, and was the first Solicitor General for the State of Arkansas.
