According to the <br>  <br> web site of Sustain Corporation, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of the <br>  <br> Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ: DJCO), and the system are by now <br>  <br> implemented in 11 states and 3 nations. Who in fact controls Sustain <br>  <br> Corporation remains unknown. <br><br> Previous reports documented the invalidity of Sustain: The LASC publishes <br>  <br> its legal public records online, subject to a \"disclaimer\", stating that <br>  <br> such records are not valid and authoritative court records. (Fig 1) In <br>  <br> parallel, the LASC denies public access to records, e.g. the Register of <br>  <br> Actions (California civil docket), which the LASC considers the valid <br>  <br> court records, by concealing them in the case management system of <br>  <br> Sustain. <br><br> [pic] <br><br> Figure 1. Disclaimer in Sustain online public records \"&hellip;this site&hellip; does <br>  <br> not consitute the official record of the court&hellip;\" [] <br><br> In parallel, the LASC has ceased almost universally service and <br>  <br> authentication\/notice of entry of minutes, orders, and judgments by the <br>  <br> Clerk of the Court. <br><br> At the systems level, it is also be noted that the public records of the <br>  <br> Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles (LASC), are maintained <br>  <br> on servers, whose identity is uncertified. [[ii]] In response to <br>  <br> inquiries, the LASC claimed that the servers are under custody of the <br>  <br> County of Los Angeles, not the LASC. <br><br> A. The case of Barbara Darwish (1998-2006)In [i]Galdjie v Darwish <br>  <br> (SC052737) in the LASC, a group of judges and the clerks colluded to take <br>  <br> the 6-unit Santa Monica rental property of Defendant Darwish. The hallmark <br>  <br> of the simulated litigation in the LASC took place on May 13, 2002: <br>  <br> Defendant Darwish appeared that morning at the LASC for the scheduled Jury <br>  <br> Trial, but was deceived by the LASC and attorneys to proceed to the <br>  <br> Municipal Court of Culver City, where an anonymous &ldquo;Muni Judge&rdquo; conducted <br>  <br> on the same afternoon a simulated &ldquo;Court Trial&rdquo;. (Fig 2) Darwish later <br>  <br> identified the \"Muni Judge\" - John Segal. <br><br> Superior Court records showed that neither a judgment, nor an appealable <br>  <br> order was ever entered in the manner required by California law to make it <br>  <br> &ldquo;effectual for any purpose&rdquo;. However, the California Court of Appeal, 2nd <br>  <br> District (Los Angeles) took three (3) simulated appeals in the case &ndash; two <br>  <br> of them were denied, and the third was voluntarily dismissed. (Table 1) <br>  <br> One of the simulated appeals produced a \"published decision\", which <br>  <br> permits \"oral modifications\" of real estate contracts, overturning <br>  <br> hundreds of years of common law, distilled into the Statute of Frauds <br>  <br> (1677). <br><br> The case of Barbara Darwish commenced in 1998, a full decade prior to the <br>  <br> onset of the \"sub-prime crisis\". The case shows that the routines of real <br>  <br> estate fraud under simulated litigation in the LASC were already well <br>  <br> estabslihed, involving large number of attorneys and judges. <br><br> The LASC continues to deny access to the paper court file in this case. <br>  <br> Regardless, due to its extensive documentation, the case was key part of <br>  <br> the evidence, repeatedly submitted since 2008 to the US Attorney General <br>  <br> and FBI Director with requests for Equal Protection of the 10 million <br>  <br> residents of Los Angeles County, California, against racketeering by <br>  <br> judges of the LASC. <br><br> [pic] <br><br> Figure 2. Galdjie v Darwish (SC052737) - Register of Actions [California <br>  <br> docket &ndash; jz] in Sustain - the electronic record system of the Superior <br>  <br> Court of California, County of Los Angeles. In this civil real property <br>  <br> matter, Ms Darwish appeared on the morning May 3, 2002 for a scheduled <br>  <br> jury trial. Instead, she was deceived by attorneys and the Court to appear <br>  <br> on the same afternoon for a \"Court Trial\" in the Culver City Municipal <br>  <br> Court before \"Muni Judge\" , who remained anonymous. Declaration of Ms <br>  <br> Darwsih clarified that it the \"Muni Judge\", who decided to take her 6-unit <br>  <br> Santa Monica rental property was Judge John Segal.

None of the appeals was lawfully taken from a valid, <br>  <br> entered judgment or appealable order of the trial court. [[iv]] <br><br> * The public access system of the California Court of Appeal does not list <br>  <br> any Dates of Entry of Judgments. <br><br> B. The case of Susan Lomas (2011-2012)In Lomas v Bank of America <br>  <br> Corporation (KC0559379) in the LASC, Susan Lomas attempted to protect her <br>  <br> property against fraud by Bank of America. Judge Peter Meeka conducted on <br>  <br> Lomas proceedings, which, as was later discovered, were secretly noted in <br>  <br> the simulated minutes in Sustain, \"off of the record\". (Fig 3) The minutes <br>  <br> were not served on Lomas, neither were they authenticated by the Clerk of <br>  <br> the Court. Lomas's access to the Register of Actions (California civil <br>  <br> docket), was and continues to be denied by the LASC. <br><br> [pic] <br><br> Figure 3. Lomas v Bank of America (KC0559379) &ndash; Minutes of August 12, 2010 <br>  <br> \"Ex Parte Motion to Stay Enforcement of Write for Possession&hellip;\". The <br>  <br> Minutes state \"The ex parte application is read and considered in chambers <br>  <br> and off of the record&hellip;\" The Minutes were never duly served or noticed by <br>  <br> the Clerk of the Court, and are missing the integral authentication record <br>  <br> \"Certificate of Mailing and Notice of Entry by Clerk. [[v]] Access to the <br>  <br> Register of Actions (Califronia civil docket) in this case and most others <br>  <br> in LASC is denied, even to parties in their own litigation. <br><br> The case of Susan Lomas commenced over 10 years later than the case of <br>  <br> Barbara Darwish. The methods of conducting simulated litigation in real <br>  <br> estate matters remained the same. However, in the case of Lomas, a bank <br>  <br> was the primary beneficiary. The case is also of interest, since it <br>  <br> commenced after FBI issued testimonies to the US Congress of no <br>  <br> criminality by sub-prime lenders underlying the current crisis, while Bank <br>  <br> of America Corporation was recipient of hundreds of billions of USD in US <br>  <br> taxpayer bailouts, under representations of no fraud in its operation, and <br>  <br> while large-scale fraud by lenders and the courts on the People were <br>  <br> \"settled\" by the US government and the attorney generals of the several <br>  <br> states. <br><br> C. The case of Richard Fine (2007-2011)In litigation of Marina Strand <br>  <br> Colony II Homeowners Assn vs County of LA (BS109420), former US prosecutor <br>  <br> Richard I. Fine, Attorney for Plaintiff, exposed and rebuked the taking by <br>  <br> Los Angeles judges of \"not permitted payments\", which were labeled by <br>  <br> media \"bribes\". <br><br> Consequently, the State Bar of California disbarred Fine in 2007, and <br>  <br> starting March 4, 2009 Fine was held by Sheriff Lee Baca of Los Angeles <br>  <br> County in solitary \"coercive confinement\", which was then said to be <br>  <br> indefinite. Eventually, Fine was released on September 17, 2010. No valid <br>  <br> warrant, valid conviction, valid sentencing, valid booking records, or <br>  <br> valid order for his release were discovered, only simulated legal public <br>  <br> records. (Fig 4, Appendix 9) <br><br> [pic] <br><br> Figure 4. Online Inmate Information Center, Sheriff of Los Angeles County <br>  <br> &ndash; fraud in booking records of Richard Fine. Richard Fine was placed under <br>  <br> indefinite coercive solitary confinement, which ended up lasting 18 <br>  <br> months, purportedly arrested and booked on location and by authority of <br>  <br> the \"Municipal Court of San Pedro\", which did not and does not exist. The <br>  <br> image is an excerpt from formal response by Sheriff Lee Baca to Michael <br>  <br> Antonovitch, Supervisor of Los Angeles County. [[vi]] <br><br> Repeated requests were forwarded to Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca and to <br>  <br> the LASC during the period of Fine's imprisonment, to correct the <br>  <br> simulated legal public records and release Fine. The requests were <br>  <br> ignored. Public access to the Register of Actions (California civil <br>  <br> docket) continues to be denied by the LASC. <br><br> The case of Richard Fine was also part of the evidence, forwarded to the <br>  <br> US Attorney General and FBI with requests for Equal Protection of the <br>  <br> People of Los Angeles against racketeering by the LASC. <br><br> References <br><br> [i] Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles &ndash; online public <br>  <br> records disclaimer, accessible at: <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lasuperiorcourt.org\/civilcasesummary\/index.asp\">http:\/\/www.lasuperiorcourt.org\/civilcasesummary\/index.asp<\/a> <br>  <br> [ii] Web page of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, at: <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lasuperiorcourt.org\/\">http:\/\/www.lasuperiorcourt.org\/<\/a> <br>  <br> [iii] Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles [i]Galdjie v <br>  <br> Darwish (SC052737) Register of Actions (California Civil Docket), <br>  <br> accessible at: <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/34498017\/\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/34498017\/<\/a> <br>  <br> [iv] Zernik, J., \"Galdjie v Darwish (SC052737) - Complaint for Public <br>  <br> Corruption against Justices and the Clerk of the California Court of <br>  <br> Appeal, 2nd District, RE: Conduct of three pretense appeals alleged real <br>  <br> estate fraud and racketeering by the Courts.\" (2011) <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/34725529\/\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/34725529\/<\/a> <br>  <br> [v] Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles Lomas v Bank of <br>  <br> America (KC0559379) Minutes, accessible at: <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/51157264\/\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/51157264\/<\/a> <br>  <br> [vi] Antonovich, M, Los Angeles County Supervisor, \"January 8, 2010 <br>  <br> response from Sheriff Lee Baca in re: Arrest and booking records of Inmate <br>  <br> Richard Fine (1824367)\", including attachments, accessible at: <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/25555341\/\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/25555341\/<\/a> <br><br> Appendices <br><br> [1] Human Right Alert (NGO), Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Human <br>  <br> Rights in the United States &ndash; Los Angeles County, Califronia, as <br>  <br> incorporated into the 2010 Human Rights Council Report with a note <br>  <br> referring to \"corruption of the courts and the legal profession&hellip;\" (2010) <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/38566837\/\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/38566837\/<\/a> <br>  <br> [2] Zernik, J., \"The Los Angeles Superior Court - Widespread Corruption, <br>  <br> Patronized by the US Government\" (2012) <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/46460640\/\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/46460640\/<\/a> <br>  <br> [3] Zernik, J., \" Beyond voting machines - case management systems of the <br>  <br> courts - Sustain and the Los Angeles Superior Court\" (2008) <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/110477747\/\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/110477747\/<\/a> <br>  <br> [4] Zernik, J., \" Computers &amp; the courts: Sustain - case management <br>  <br> system of the Los Angeles Superior Court - Registers of Action\" <br>  <br> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/110475097\/\">http:\/\/www.scribd.com\/doc\/110475097\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","contact":" josephzernik@humanrightsalertngo.org","link":"http:\/\/es.scribd.com\/Human_Rights_Alert","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"The Los Angeles Superior Court implemented in 1985 a fraudulent electronic record system - SUSTAIN - and with it, the Court was transformed into a State Crime Organization.","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2012\/10\/256515.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
