Plaintiff opposes Defendant Superior Court, County of San Diegos1Motion For
Sanctions (Rule 11 Motion) as follows:
I. INTRODUCTIONThe Superior Courts Rule 11 Motion is off-target. The Motion is brought on
virtually identical grounds as the judicial Co-Defendants Motion to Dismiss
Complaint (Dkt#16) (MTD); a pleading-stage attack. The Rule 11 Motion simply
parrots the MTDbarely addressing the relevant issues in a Rule 11 motion
violations of the certifications required under Fed.R.C.P. 11(b)(1), (2), and (3). In
parroting the MTD, which is brought by all eleven judicial defendants, the Rule 11
Motion asserts arguments which are not relevant to the sole moving party in this
MotionThe Superior Court. This disconnect between the MTD and the Rule 11
movants creates an irascible confusion of arguments, evidence, and claims. Should
the Court venture to follow the untangling of the morass attempted hereinbelow, it
may conclude that the Rule 11 Motion is even less meritorious than the MTD brought
on precisely the same grounds. Such unfaithful hard ball litigation conduct is itself
unfaithful, sanctionable behavior. If at all, sanctionable litigation behavior thus far
has occurred solely among judicial defendants. See, Plaintiffs Mtn. Rule 11
Sanctions (Dkt#39).
II. DISCUSSIONA.AuthorityDefendants assert Rule 11 violations of three certifications relating to the
Complaint, that:
it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause
1The Superior Court for San Diego County insists that it is erroneously sued in thatname; Plaintiff insists the name is correct. Because the official title of the Court isa key element relied on by one Court of Appeals decision in relieving the LosAngeles Superior Court of liability on Eleventh Amendment grounds, thiscontroversy is legally significant. For simplicity of reference and without concedingthe issue of official title, this defendant shall be referred to herein as The SuperiorCourt.

unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation (FRCP 11(b)(1));
the claims, defenses, and other legal contentions are warranted by existing
law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing
law or for establishing new law (FRCP 11(b)(2)); and
the factual allegations have evidentiary support or, if specifically so
identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for
further investigation or discovery (FRCP 11(b)(3)).
The Superior Courts Motion for Sanctions (Dkt#23-1) (Rule 11 Motion) 2:5-7.
Seeking Rule 11 sanctions concurrent with a motion in order to leverage the
motion is prohibitedindeed itself sanctionablelitigation conduct. Gaiardo v.
Ethyl Corp.,835 F2d 479 (3rd Cir. 1987). Sanctions are inappropriate where there
exists legitimate controversy. Committee Notes on Amendments to Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure146 FRD 401, 590 (1993). Simply adding a request for sanctions
without addressing the Rule 11 certification issues is itself sanctionable conduct:
The use of Rule 11 ... has become part of the so-called hardball litigation
techniques espoused by some firms and their clients. Those practitioners are
cautioned that they invite retribution from courts which are far from enchanted with
such abusive conduct. Gaiardo, supra at 485.
B.The Rule 11 Motion is a Cut-N-Paste Version of Superior CourtDefendants Motion to Dismiss, Failing to Address Relevant Analysis
The Superior Courts Rule 11 Motion undertakes no substantial analysis of the
three Rule 11 certification violations it asserts(1) improper purpose, (2) frivolous
arguments under existing or extensions of law, or (3) lack of evidentiary support.
Rule 11 Motion 2:5-7. The Rule 11 Motion is little more than a parroting of the
arguments in the judicial defendants Motion to Dismiss Complaint (Dkt# 16)
(MTD). The MTD is a Rule 12(b)(6) Motion directed attacking preliminary
pleading stage matters. As properly drawn (which the MTD is unfortunately not), it
cannot address controverted evidentiary matters. As such, ground 3, above

evidentiary supportmay not be raised in either the MTD or Rule 11 Motion. All
such arguments in the Rule 11 Motion may therefore be immediately disposed of.
The remaining attacks of (1) harassment purpose and (2) frivolity suffer similar
disabilities. The Rule 11 Motion parrotspro haec verbathepleadingarguments of
the MTD, then welds a one-liner bald claim that thosepleading arguments also
establish a basis for Rule 11 sanctions. Compare MTD Dkt#16-1 Rule 11 Motion
Dkt#23-1. In simply welding a Rule 11 one liner to each of the Rule 12 attacks,
Defendants commit exactlythe hard ball leverage tactic admonished by Gaiardoas
independently sanctionable. See details per Rule 11 Ground hereinbelow.
Similarly regarding the frivolity grounds of Rule 11(b)(2), merely attacking or
even prevailing on the merits of the underlying claim is not sufficient proof of
frivolity. Where an issue is debatable, even if the moving party ultimately
prevails on the issue, Rule 11 sanctions are inappropriate. More must be shown to
prevail on a sanctions Motion, yet The Superior Courts cut-n-paste tactic provides
no more reasoning for frivolity than the grounds it asserts in an attempt to prevail
on the merits. Welding the term is frivolous to the analysis does not cure this
defect. As such, the entire Rule 11 Motion directed to Rule 11(b)(2) is infirm as
directed to a standard of proof for the Motion to Dismiss (failure to state a claim as a
matter of law) rather than Rule 11s frivolity.
C.By Posing the Rule 11 Motion on the Same Grounds as the Motion toDismiss, The Superior Court Doubles Down on the Merits of the
Motion to Dismiss
Because The Superior Court has brought its Rule 11 attack on the very same
grounds on which it brings the MTD, it effectively doubles down on the Motion to
Dismiss. In this case, Plaintiff has opposed the MTD with a Motion to Strike
(Dkt#19) and Opposition (Dkt#21) asserting the MTD is meritless and attempting
improper procedure. Where a moving party brings a Rule 11 motion on the same
grounds as an affirmative motion, yet fails on the underlying affirmative motion, it

cannot be heard to claim that its Rule 11 Motion was filed in good faithlosing the
underlying motion is at leastprima facia evidence that a concurrently-filed Rule 11
Motion on the same grounds is impermissible hard ball attempt to leverage a
debatable (or in this case meritless) motion. Gaiardo, supra. Thus, should the
Court deny the MTD, counter-sanctions to the Rule 11 Motion for impermissibly
bringing the Rule 11 on debatable (indeed meritless) grounds are warranted. By
aggressively posing a quick-trigger Rule 11 Motion on top of a meritless Motion to
Dismiss, Defendants have stacked their chips quite high.
D.The Complaint Satisfies All Three CertificationsThough Defendant fails to articulate discernable argument toward the relevant
Rule 11 certification issues, Plaintiff offers the following should the Court wish to
visit these issues.
1.Evidentiary Foundation of Plaintiffs Claims (Fed.R.C.P. 11(b)(3)Plaintiff STUART has conducted extensive investigation and research into
each of the factual and legal allegations of the Complaint over a period of many
years. The allegations of the Complaint are not created by a lawyer interpreting a
clients experiencetherefore giving rise to the typical Rule 11 duty to investigate
factual foundations of the clients claims. Here, the pro se Plaintiff is the client and
witness. Almost all of the facts in the Complaint are given on personal and
professional knowledge and experience. This experience includes seventeen years
practicing law in the States of California, Nevada, and Arizona since 1995, 96, and
97, respectively, and federal districts therein. Plaintiffs experience includes
litigation, trial, mediation, and arbitration of dozens of matters for a variety of clients,
including federal civil rights, commercial fraud, legal malpractice, and similar state-
court matters. Though Plaintiff is not a divorce lawyer, he is familiar with California
state practice and procedure generally applicable in all California Superior Courts
through seventeen years of litigation experience.
Through his personal experience with his own dissolution litigation and in

assisting dozens of similarly-situated parents enduring modern family court
malfeasance, fraud, and abuse, he has become an informed observer of family court
practices at several levels. He founded Plaintiff California Coalition for Families and
Children to address those common concerns and provide a vehicle for domestic
dispute industry reform, education, and engagement toward those ends. Stuart Decl.
This experience, activism, scholarship, research, and personal observation is
described at 71-75, 77-99, 100-101, 110, 113-123.
This case is unusual in that fewfactsin this case will be in legitimate dispute
Plaintiff accuses widely-known, and increasingly widely despised, practices of public
institutions and private industry cohorts. Except perhaps for an answer to the
question why has such illegal conduct been tolerated for so long? few legitimate
factual issues will arise.
2. Claims Are Presented to Remedy Injury and Effect Reform--Not to Harass, Delay,Increase Costs, or Other Improper Purpose (Fed.R.C.P. 11(b)(1))
The claims of the Complaint are presented not to harass, cause unnecessary
delay, or needlessly increase the cost of litigation but to remedy independent
injury caused during the course of Plaintiffs reform efforts, and to cure the systemic
affliction which Defendants have proven incapable or unwilling to cure for
themselves. CCFC and the parent community it supports have undertaken extensive
efforts prefacing the filing of this lawsuit to effect reform by other meansbut such
efforts have been unsuccessful, and at times met with violentresistance by present
Defendants and their cohorts. See, Compl. 124-136; August 20, 2013 Press
Release, Stuart Decl. Ex. A. The injury precipitating the STUART ASSAULT and
this lawsuit was orchestrated by Defendantsprecisely to frustrate Plaintiffs efforts
while engaged in such reform. Litigation is not a preferred choice, but as with many
civil rights struggles in our nations historyfederal courts are a uniquely
appropriate and often the last recourse to defending the interests of an afflicted
minority. Given Defendants tactics of abusing color of law police power to silence

Plaintiffs efforts, remedy for injuries thereby caused are appropriate and uniquely
available in this forum.
The Superior Court claims that the inclusion of home addresses of certain
Defendants in the Complaint had no ostensible purpose other than harassment.
Rule 11 Motion 7:12-14. This is a misstatement of fact and law. Averment of where
an individual defendant "resides" or "may be found is an entirely ordinary and
requiredmeans to establish jurisdiction and venue within a federal district. 28 U.S.C.
1391(b). In compliance with this requirement, the Complaint avers the residence
address of Defendants Schall, Trentacosta, and Wohlfeil as they were readily
available from phone books, online records, online skip-trace searches, or other
public resources. No private records were disclosed. The practice of averring
residence or location of individual defendants to establish jurisdiction and venue is
not prohibited by any rule, order, or lawit is requiredby such. Plaintiffs
compliance with law and unremarkable practice in doing so in this action is
permissible, entirely ordinary, and has obvious appropriate purpose other than
harassment.
The Superior Court also incorrectly alleges that Plaintiffs refused to take any
steps to correct their violation. This assertion is a stunning and demonstrable
falsehood. The Courts files reflect that as a courtesyto defendants bellicose
demands that Plaintiff remove all addresses from the Internet and Court files,
Plaintiffs promptly undertook steps to redact home addresses from the Complaint,
removed the unreacted Complaint from its publically-accessible web servers,
coordinated the removal of the same from third party servers, and re-filed a redacted
version of the Complaint with this Court. Redacted Complaint, Dkt#8; Plaintiffs Ex
Parte Motion for Temporary Harassment Restraining Order, Dkt#4.
The remaining allegations of harassment motive in the Rule 11 Motion (Rule 11
at 7:17-8:10) do not support The Superior Courts claim that the Complaint was filed
to harass. The number of times the Complaint had been viewed on the Internet, that

the Complaint also included home addresses of other Defendants which have not
objected and are not represented by The Superior Court or its counsel, and this
Courts courteous, yet not required, sealing of the original and redacted Complaints
to which no plaintiff objectsare not consistent with an intent to harassthey are
the ordinary and expected behavior of civil rights plaintiffs publicizing their efforts to
a nationwide community of similarly-situated domestic dispute industry professionals
and victim-litigants closely watching this case as an augur of the future of reform.
Further, Plaintiff maintains that Defendants post-filing take-down demands
coerced by threats of San Diego County Sheriffs Department Detectives acting
without warrant or probable causeto remove the Complaint from public locations
are legally indefensible, and themselves constitute further illegal deprivation of
Plaintiffs rights of free speech and access to courts which will be redressed in due
course. Notwithstanding Plaintiffs claim that such take down activity was illegal
and indeed reprehensible state censorship, Plaintiff undertook substantial efforts to
accommodate Defendants less-than-courteous demands. See Ex Parte Motion for
Emergency Harassment Restraining Order, Dkt#4.
Defendant has not shown a motive of intent to harass sufficient to establish a
violation of certification under Fed.R.C.P. 11(b)(1), and as such its Motion may be
Denied.
3. The Complaint Seeks No Change, but Enforcement of Law (Fed.R.C.P. 11(b)(2))The Complaint certainly asserts that a change in family law as practicedis in
immediate orderbut only to conform that practice with existing and longstanding
principles of state and federal lawscommercial, health and welfare, and
constitutional standards which are flagrantly disregarded by institutionalized
Domestic Dispute Industry public and private interests. To the extent that State laws
and practice are inconsistent with federal law, the Complaint properly and in good
faith prays for declaratory and prospective relief to conform or invalidate those
inconsistent laws and practices. Should Plaintiffs seeking enforcement of the

fundamental liberties of some of our most vulnerable citizens be viewed as
harassment or bad faith by present defendants, the proper judgment day for that
proposition may and should await the presence of a trier of fact rather than be quelled
by improper use of Rule 11 hardball. See, e.g., Plaintiff, and millions of parents and
children nationwide, eagerly await that day.
The Superior Courts specific arguments regarding the merits of specific
Counts of the Complaint (Rule 11 Motion III.A.1-11) are addressed below.
E.The Superior Court Lacks Standing to Assert Claims of Other Co-Defendants
The Superior Courts Rule 11 Motion is brought only by the Superior Court,
yet the motion asserts objections as if all eleven judicial defendants and Mr. RODDY
are joined. Because judicial Defendants are represented by common counsel and
maintain substantial common interests, a joint Motion to Dismiss simplified pleading.
However, by carving out only The Superior Court to assert the present Rule 11
Motion, The Superior Court creates a disconnect between the two motions.
This disconnectapparently unanticipated by The Superior Courtcauses
substantial structural infirmities. For that reason alone, the Court may save itself and
all parties unnecessary frustration in parsing issues relevant to The Superior Court by
discarding the entire Rule 11 Motion at this point as incomprehensible.
Should the Court desire to endure an unwinding of The Superior Court from
the irrelevant Co-Defendant grounds for the motion, further analysis is attempted as
follows:
F. Counts Relevant to the Superior Court:An attempt will be made to distill the Counts relevant to the Superior Court,
and analysis will proceed thereon.
1.Distilling Relevant CountsThe Superior Court is a named Defendant only in Counts 3, 6, 12-15, 18, and 21,
RICO Claims for Relief 2-10, and Prospective Relief Count 2. By contrast, the Rule

11 Motion attacks all Counts. It is necessary therefore to first dispose of any Rule 11
arguments or grounds related to Counts 1, 2, 4, 5, 7-11, 16, 17, 19, and 20, RICO
Claim for Relief 1 and Prospective Relief Count 1.
The remaining relevant Counts for purposes of the Rule 11 Motion are as
follows:
Count 6municipal liability; Counts 12-15 (1985(2), (3)(a), (b), (c)obstruction of justice based on the
facts of the STUART ASSAULT/CHILLING;
Count 18 CULPABLE breach of duty relating to municipal liability inCount 6), (supervision of DOYNE, INC.);
Count 3CULPABLE breach of dutya blanket allegation adding a levelof intentCULPABILE (defined in detail in the complaint) to each of the
other underlying Counts. CULPABLE intent establishes a foundation for
additional claims, remedies, and grounds for reliefsuch as a substantive due
process violation for the underling conduct, extreme and outrageous conduct
enhanced and punitive damages, criminal liability for federal civil rights and
predicate crimes under Title 18, United States Code. Pled as a single blanket
count applicable to other Counts, it provides notice of an intent to pursue both
ordinary or unreasonable intent necessary for one version of a claim (i.e.,
negligence, deliberate indifference, without probable cause) from an
enhanced version of the claim (intentional interference, emotional distress,
inducement to breach, etc.). Like intent generally, CULPABLE intent need not
be pled with particularity, and does not impact the underlying facts of the
underlying Count, and may thus be pled generally, and efficiently, in a single
Count;

2.Analysis of Remaining Counts by Each Ground of AttackStripping non-moving Defendants and irrelevant Counts from the 11 Grounds
asserted for the Rule 11 Motion impacts each Rule 11 Ground to a different degree
some fatally, others not at all. A suggested distilled analysiswhich is The Superior
Courts burden herefollows (quotations are lifted directly from Rule 11 Motion 2:8-
26):
Ground 1: CCFC and Lexevia's attempt to proceed in propria persona in
violation of the laws of the states in which they were organized and the Local
Civil Rules:
This attack is identical to the Superior Court Defendants MTD IV.A.1
(Dkt#16-1), and is opposed in Plaintiffs Motion to Strike (Dkt#19) II.B.5,
incorporated herein by reference. In short, CCFC and Lexevia are represented by Mr.
Webb, who is not yet admittedpro hac vicein this District. STUART is proceeding
to retain local counsel for both entities in compliance with Local Rule 83.3(c)(4) to
sponsor Mr. Webb. STUART appearspro se. (Declaration of Colbern Stuart in
support hereof). Defendants cite no authority supporting the claim that a party in
process of obtaining local counsel to sponsor apro hac viceadmission as grounds for
dismissal, and as such the same is an impermissible hard ball tactical use of Rule
11 sanctions.
Ground 2: Lexevia's pursuit of claims without the capacity to do so as a
suspended corporation
This attack is identical to the Superior Court Defendants MTD IV.A.2, and is
opposed in Plaintiffs Motion to Strike (Dkt#19) at II.B.5, incorporated by
reference. In short, Defendants confound capacity and standing under state and

federal law. Lexevia is presently suspended for failure to file a Statement of
Information with the Secretary of State. The Statement of Information has been filed
curing the suspension. Stuart expects revival to good standing to occur within 90
days (Declaration of Colbern Stuart in support hereof, Ex. B). Because capacity
does not impact standing, Lexevias lack of capacity does not deprive it of standing.
As The Superior Courts argument grossly confounds the issues of capacity and
standing under both state and federal law, its Rule 11 Motion double down on the
same issue is an impermissible hard ball litigation tactic.
Ground 3: Plaintiffs' inclusion of the residential addresses of defendant
judicial officers in the Complaint
The Superior Count has no standing to bring this claim as it is only relevant to
certain non-moving individual Defendants whose addresses were identified in the
Complaint. The argument is also refuted by Plaintiffs Ex Parte Motion for
Harassment Temporary Restraining Order (Dkt#4) incorporated herein by reference.
Should the Court wish to entertain this Ground even absent The Superior Courts
standing, Plaintiff submits that this Courts General Order 550 does not apply to this
civil case despite its close affinity to a criminal action. General Order 550 provides:
h. Privacy
Unless otherwise ordered by the court, parties must refrain from including, or
must partially redact where inclusion is necessary, the following personal identifiers
from all pleadings and documents filed with the court, including exhibits thereto:
5. Home address. In criminal cases, if a home address must be included only the
city and state should be listed.
Though Racketeering and the predicate crimes on which it is based are chargeable
federal felonies, and Plaintiffs have asserted 34 indictable federal offenses in the

Complaint against certain Defendants, this action is not a criminal case (General
Order 550) in any ordinary sense of that term. Though Plaintiff may and does seek
punitive damages, and statutorily trebled enhanced damages, costs, and fees, it
cannot seek criminal sanctions.
Ground 4: Plaintiffs' filing of a frivolous, 1,300-page complaint:
This attack is identical to the Bucket of Mud attack in Superior Court
Defendants MTD IV.B and is opposed in Plaintiffs Opposition II.B, C, and
Motion to Strike (Dkt#19), II.E.2 incorporated herein by reference. In short, the
Complaint is admittedly complex, as it must be to plead to the extraordinary relief of
federal intervention in what is averred to be widespread institutionalized legal
consumer fraud involving Domestic Dispute Industry courts, attorneys, psychologists,
social workers, and bureaucrats nationwide. To the extent the Complaint is not a
model of clarity, Plaintiff apologizes to the Court and counsel should they take
exception to the Complaints form of pleading. The Compliant is draftedas
appropriateto give notice and with the expectation that substantial discovery will
be appropriate in fleshing out the notice provided in the Complaint. Defendants
insistence for more detail while simultaneously complaining of the Complaints
length and inclusion of supporting exhibits itself suggests unfaithful litigation
harassment and delay. If such is deemed appropriate, Plaintiff has proffered a present
ability, though no desire, to expand on the Complaint at length in an amended
pleading.
Ground 5: The Superior Courts Claim to Eleventh Amendment Immunity
This attack is identical to the Superior Court Defendants MTD IV.C.
Plaintiff provides analysis in the Opposition to the Motion To Dismiss II.A.2.C as
well as in the Opposition to the Commission Defendants Motion to Dismiss on
Eleventh Amendment immunity grounds, filed concurrently with this Opposition.
The legal analysis of both is germane hereto, and incorporated herein by reference.
In short, the Superior Court may not aspire to State level sovereign immunity

on the present record. No Defendant in this action is named as the State of California
or an employee or agent thereof, Plaintiff disputes that any beneath State-level
Defendant is entitled to be elevated to State level status, and certainly no Defendant
has or may make such a showing of fact at this, the Rule 12(b)(6) stage. As such, the
Eleventh Amendment immunity attack fails as to all Defendants on the present
record, and the hard ball tactic of seeking to double down with Rule 11 sanctions
is itself sanctionable.
Ground 6: Plaintiffs' filing of claims against judicial officers and Mr. Roddy
in the face of judicial and quasi-judicial immunity:
The Superior Court has no standing to assert claims of judicial officers and Mr.
Roddy to quasi-judicial immunity. The Superior Courts cut-n-paste attack on this
Ground is an inexcusable miss. The argument is also refuted at MTD Oppo.
II.A.2.b, incorporated herein by reference. This misfire can be nothing other than
wildly misguided hard ball tactics subject to sanctions.
Ground 7: Plaintiffs' presentation of civil rights claims relating to the so-called
Stuart Assault at the family law seminar that ostensibly lack evidentiary and legal
support and are barred by the statute of limitations:
This Rule 11 attack is substantially corrupted by the standing disconnect
between The Superior Court and its judicial Co-Defendants. The Superior Court is
not named in each of the Civil Rights claims attacked in this Groundonly Count 6
(municipal liability), Counts 12-15 (1985(2), (3)(a), (b), (c) (obstruction of
justice/CHILLING), Count 18 (relating to supervision and municipal liability in
Count 6), and Count 3 (culpable breach of dutya Count adding an allegation of
CULPABLE intent (defined in detail in the complaint) to each of Counts above).
Because the Rule 11 Motion focusses primarily on Defendants and Counts other than
those relevant to The Superior Court, this section of the Rule 11 Motion is
irretrievably corrupted. An analysis of what can be distilled relating only to The
Superior Court is attempted as follows:

The basis for The Superior Courts liability for all relevant Counts is the
independent acts or failures to act by a municipalitydescribed in the caselaw as
policy, custom, or habitactivity with an intent to deprive or acting/failing to act
in deliberate indifference to deprivationsetting in motion events causing
deprivation. Bd. of Cnty. Comm'rs of Bryan Cnty., Okl. v. Brown, 520 U.S. 397, 416,
(1997) (Souter, J, concurring). Municipal liability arises from the line of cases
beginning withMonell v. Dep't of Soc. Servs. of City of New York, 436 U.S. 658
(1978) and continuing through City of Canton, Ohio v. Harris, 489 U.S. 378, 399
(1989); Pembaur v. City of Cincinnati, 475 U.S. 469, 478, (1986); Trevino v. Gates,
99 F.3d 911, 918 (9th Cir.1996); Villegas v. Gilroy Garlic Festival Ass'n, 541 F.3d

1225, 1233 (9th Cir. 2011).
The foundation of The Superior Courts municipal and oversight liability is set
forth in the averments beginning with Compl. 9, 10, and those describing its
operations of policy and custom for oversight of other operations, including the
private commercial psychology enterprise (the Domestic Dispute Industry Forensic
Investigator Criminal Enterprise, or DDI-FICE; Compl. 284 et passim) and the
in-house Family Law Facilitators Offices (the Domestic Dispute Industry
Intervention Advocate Criminal Enterprise or DDI-IACE; Compl.281 et
passim):

entity chartered under and doing business in the County of San Diego. In

restraining orders, self-help services, frequently asked questions, form
selection and advice, and public information regarding court fees, rules,
locations, calendars, and proceedings.
10. SCSDC is part of a network of county courts governed by a 27-
member Judicial Council led by Ms. Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Chief Justice,
California Supreme Court. The Judicial Council is the policy-making body of
the California Courts and is responsible for ensuring the consistent,
independent, impartial and accessible administration of justice. The
Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) is the support staff of the Judicial
Council.
These allegations also relate to The Superior Courts operation of the private
commercial psychology enterprise (DDI-FICE) and in-house domestic dispute
advocacy programs (DDI-IACE) described at Complaint 281-285. The Schemes
and Artifices to Defraud utilized by the DDI-FICE are disclosed at Compl.308-335.

(iii) Definition of 1985(1) office, trust, position of confidence under the U.S. (Rule 11

Motion may be ignored, and their assertion considered impermissible hard ball and
unfaithful litigation conduct.
(i) Conspiracy: (Rule 11 MTN 11:12-20): Conspiracy allegations are
analyzed in MTD Opposition Section II.E.1, and M&C Sections III.C.2(f), III.C.3,
incorporated herein by reference. A conspiracy is an agreement to commit a crime.
Mendocino Envtl. Ctr. v. Mendocino Cnty., 192 F.3d 1283, 1301-02 (9th Cir. 1999).
The conspiracy allegations of the Complaint need no creative mind to understand. A
simple walk through defendants own downstairs administrative operationsthe
Family Law Facilitator Offices (DDI-IACE) which counsels and facilitates illegal
DVILS ORDERS, paperwork, and enforcement (Compl. Ex. 1 and Exs. A, B
thereto); an illegal psychology enterprise (DDI-FICE) populated by fraudulent
forensic psychologists; to the legal communities which they participate inthe San
Diego County Bar Association and its Family Law Subsection (Compl. 4, 275,
Ex. 2) and the Family Law Community it serves (Compl. 71-73, 275-280, 320);
to the federally-funded quasi-public technical support and leadership corporations
it collaborates with on family law policy and operations levelsthe San Diego
Family Justice Center and National Family Justice Center Alliance (Compl. 262,
318, RICO Enterprises 2, 3, 4; Compl. Ex. 1); and to its leadership operations of Co-
Defendants Judicial Council and Administrative Office of the Courts (Compl. 10,
13-16; Quest for Justice, infra.). An insightful public account of the history,
evolution, and independent control and operation of these entities is recently available
from former California Supreme Court Chief Justice and Chairperson of Defendants
AOC and Judicial Counsel Ronald M. George, entitled Chief: The Quest for Justice in
California(2013).2 Chief Justice George explicitly details how these defendants have
established themselves to be free from the micromanagement of legislators, who
dont understand how to administer justice.Id. at 453-454. For theater fans, A

feature-length documentary entitled DivorceCorp (www.divorcecorp.com) to be
released nationwide on January 10, 2014 graphically describes the Domestic Dispute
Industry Criminal Enterprise detailed in the Complaint. The Divorce Industry, it
seems, is enjoying a new day in the sun.3
Defendants no doubt will assert that the accused operations, though highly
coordinated, are not illegal. Plaintiff will be prepared to present that case to a trier of
fact at the appropriate time. For purposes of the Complaint, however, the above
allegations of coordinated action to accomplish an allegedly illegal purpose satisfy
any relevant pleading standard for pleading conspiracy.
(ii) Class-based Discrimination (Rule 11 MTN 11:20-22): Class-based
discrimination is analyzed in MTD Opposition section II.E.2, incorporated herein. In
short, the Complaint describes four EQUAL PROTECTION CLASSES which are
defined by existing precedent, state law, and de facto practice and effect. Compl.
193-200 and references therein.
(iii) 1985(1), (2) office, trust, position of confidence under the U.S. (Rule 11
MTN 13:22-23): STUARTs status under the United States is averred at Compl.
102-106 and analyzed in MTD Opposition section II.D, incorporated herein. In
short, Plaintiff has alleged facts describing his practice as an officer of six federal
Districts, The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, law practice in Commerce
and Trade, Intellectual Property, and Health and Welfare litigation under federal law,
civil rights activism, published Constitutional and federal law scholarship, and related
engagementsincluding those that found this actionsufficient to give Defendants
notice of a claim under 42 U.S.C. 1985(1) and (2). Defendants will no doubt

contest that assertion, yet their doing so at the Rule 12 stage is inappropriate, and
certainly insubstantial basis as a double down hardball litigation tactic under Rule
11. See, e.g.,U.S. Const., amend VII, XIV;Baltimore & Carolina Line v. Redman,
295 U.S. 654, 656 (1935);Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., 517 U.S. 370, 371
(1996).
(iv) Statute of Limitations (Rule 11 MTN 14:1-11): Statute of Limitations
issues for civil rights allegations are fully analyzed in Opposition section II.G,
incorporated herein. Plaintiff has requested leave to amend to aver facts addressing
this attack.
Ground 8:Plaintiffs' pursuit of civil rights claims concerning Stuart's
dissolution proceeding that are also untimely and barred by theRooker-
Feldmandoctrine:
The Superior Court has standing only with respect to Count 18; CULPABLE
Breach of Duty causing deprivations of rights under the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 14th
Amendments to the United States Constitution relating to the supervision of
Defendants DOYNE, INC. Compl. 216-252. The bankruptcy of theRooker-
Feldmandoctrine is explained at Opposition II.H and incorporated herein. Because
liability of The Superior Court follows aMonellanalysis, it is not premised on any
judicial act. Rooker-Feldmanis therefore further unavailable to this Defendant.
Statute of limitations attacks are discussed above. This section represents an
impermissible double down hardball litigation tactic.
Ground 9: Plaintiffs' frivolous assertion of a false advertising claim, given the
Superior Court Defendants do not advertise or sell services and are not
commercial competitors of anyone:
The Superior Courts amenity to suit as a State under the Lanham Act, direct
misrepresentations to legal consumers, and collaboration with Co-Defendants in the
same are addressed at MTD Opposition II.I, incorporated herein. This section
represents an impermissible double down hardball litigation tactic.

claims:
Analysis of the RICO counts is set forth in detail in the MTD Oppo. II.J and the
M&C sections cited therein, incorporated herein by reference. This Ground is wildly
off-base, evidencing impermissible hard ball litigation tactics.
Ground 11: Plaintiffs' Pursuit Of Claims For Prospective Relief Without
Standing:
Analysis of the Article III Standing issue is set forth at the MTD Oppo. II.K
and detailed in the M&C sections referenced therein, incorporated herein by
reference. Plaintiff has averred sufficient standing to satisfy relevant pleading
standards.
In the event the Court wishes to consider The Superior Courts assertions
absent standing of Defendants not present in the Rule 11 Motion, Plaintiff
incorporates by reference the additional analysis relevant to those Defendants as set
forth in the sections of the MTD Oppo., Mtn. to Strike, and M&C sections referenced
therein.
G.An Award of Sanctions In This Case Would be An Affront to JusticeAny award of sanctions must evaluate a sanctioned partys ability to pay.
Christian v. Mattel, Inc. (9th Cir. 2002) 286 F3d 1118, 1125, fn. 4. Rule 11 sanctions
should not be used to chill creative advocacy, or legitimate causes asserted in good
faith. See, e.g., Chase v. Auerbach, 1994 WL 590588, *2 (E.D.Pa. Oct. 26, 1994)
(rejecting the imposition of Rule 11 sanctions on a litigant for advancing a novel legal
theory in attempting to move an action to federal court to consolidate case with another
pending case); Committee Notes on Amendments to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure
146 FRD 401, 587 (1993) (explaining that replacing the 1983 version of the rules
standard of good faith with the 1993 term nonfrivilous was not intended to raise
the bar on creative advocacy brought in good faith which might be chilled by a
higher standard).

Though Plaintiffs vigorously deny that sanctions against Plaintiff are
appropriate and assert precisely the opposite request for relief, any sanction award
against plaintiffs in this case would be unjust. Plaintiffs are a public benefit
corporation and their members and advocates which, in the course of attempts to
facilitate the reform of voracious criminal enterprises, have fallen victims to the
illegal tactics of those very enterprises. Stuart Decl. . It would be difficult to
exaggerate the devastating impact of Defendants illegal activities on the resources
available to Plaintiffs to continue their reform efforts, including this litigation. CCFC
is not a commercial operationit has no revenue other than donations and the
generous goodwill of many dedicated volunteers. It is a community of victims of
these very defendants heinousacts of fraud and abuse, who have formed to recover
their losses, but more importantly to prevent that same harm from befalling others
unaware of the maze of horrors that awaits them once they step behind Defendants
doors. Stuart Decl. X.
The Complaint details Plaintiffs efforts in seeking attention and assistance to
remedy and reform an industry few deny to be a notorious dystopia, yet almost none
have the knowledge, concern, or courage required to attend. Government agencies,
politicians, and the commercial and pro bono legal community have universally
respond yes, its a mess, but we dont know how to fix it. Present Defendants have
responded with offers to absorb even more resources in wastefully returning to the
lawless maze of family court, or more often responded not at all. Stuart Decl.
As the intended benefactors of that dystopiaparents and childrenwhove
instead of benefiting from that system have fallen victim to it, we have valuable input
of what is wrong and how to fix it. Yet Plaintiffs wealth of experience, knowledge,
and suggestions is not equaled by a wealth of material resources to implement them.
Like most family court litigants, CCFC members left family courts with little more
than harrowing nightmares and a very bitter taste in their mouths which, though
highly motivating, are accompanied by a debilitating fear of further legal reprisal or

financial victimization by the very defendants present here. By anticompetitive
meansincluding the violentmeans deployed against Plaintiffs detailed in the
ComplaintDefendants have effectively monopolized or blockaded all venues for
effecting reform through state-level machinerycourts, judges, lawyers, bureaucrats,
and psychologists collaborate to police a poisonous toll-based maze they themselves
built which outrageously extracts wealth from unsuspecting families by artifice, trick,
and deceit. Stuart Decl.
That wealth and power, initially earned by the honest hands and brows of
parents working to provide for their children, has by trick and device been converted
into the hands of some of San Diegos strongest law firms, hired to defend the
schemes that pay their billsand today returns to a new scene to use impermissible
hardball Rule 11 litigation tactics pick those pockets yet again, by means of new
rules in a new courthouse. Plaintiff prays for a new awakening to a new, healthier
day for plaintiffs and defendantsalike. If we desire respect for the law, then we
must first make the law respectable. L. Brandeis, Other People's Money(National
Home Library Foundation ed. 1933).
Any award of sanctions against Plaintiffs in this case would only further the
perpetration of what will be proven to be a shameful and fraudulent abuse of
knowledge of public processes and institutions, public police power, and tainted
wealth by those operating under a public license, oath, and duty to protect those in
their care. Sanctions would be an affront not only to a meager pocketbook, but to the
courage, dignity, and public spirit of parents and children nationwide, who having no
recourse to defenders such as those they face, have barely the means to defend
themselves. A sanction against these Plaintiffs in this action would be a sanction
against equal justice itself.
III. CONCLUSIONThe Superior Courts Rule 11 Motion is almost entirely unwarranted by existing
law, structurally incomprehensible, and wildly off-target. It impermissibly seeks

relief for Co-Defendants not present in the Motion, argues their case but not its own,
pleads to the wrong legal standards and only summarily acknowledges the correct
ones, and is infected with the same meritless arguments of the MTD and
inadmissible, impertinent, and scandalous evidence that work is based upon. The
Rule 11 Motion is itself an inappropriate litigation hard ball double down tactic by
those intimately familiar with such schemes and tools of prevailing in high-stakes
litigation games, making sanctions againstThe Superior Court for its unfaithful
litigation conduct in the present Motion appropriate. The Superior Court has chosen
the stakes of the table it sits at. It should not be permitted to walk away from the
accounting.
