thereafter as the matter may be heard by the above-entitled Court, located in Courtroom
10D of the United States District Court, Central District of CaliforniaSouthern Division,
411 W. Fourth St., Santa Ana, CA 92701-4516, Defendant "Defend Our Freedoms"
foundation (DOFF) will move this Court for an order dismissing the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th,
6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th and 11thcauses of action in Plaintiffs first amended complaint
pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 12(b)(6) and 12(b)(1). Specifically,
DOFF moves the Court for an order of dismissal of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th,
10th
and 11th
causes of action in Plaintiffs first amended complaint pursuant to Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 12(b)(6) and 12(b)(1) because Plaintiffs did not prove
diversity and Liberi's state citizenship by competent evidence and all of the causes of
action in Plaintiffs first amended complaint fail to state a claim for which relief can be
granted, concern conduct for which immunity is granted by 47 U.S.C. section 260, and
which is privileged under California Civil Code section 47.
In conformance with the Courts order dated June 14, 2011, on June 27, 2011,
counsel for Defendants requested leave to file a motion to dismiss based upon California
Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule
12(b)(6). On June 29, 2011, the Court granted the request for leave to file a motion to
dismiss based upon Rule 12(b)(6) but denied the request for leave to file a motion to
dismiss based upon California Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16.

points and authorities attached hereto; the request for judicial notice; all of the pleadings
and papers on file; any matter that may be presented in reply to any opposition filed by

Prior to addressing the specific counts of the complaint the Defendants assert that
the complaint was filed in federal court frivolously in violation of section 12b(1) of
Federal rules of Civil Procedure. Original complaint was filed 05.04.2009 based on
diversity of citizenship, when plaintiff Liberi provided Berg's business address as
her address and tried to create an impression, that she is a different Lisa Liberi, not a
convicted felon from CA, but an innocent person in PA, who was slandered by Taitz
due to mistaken identity. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)1 provides for
dismissal of a complaint for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Any doubt as to
whether jurisdiction exists is normally resolved against a finding of such
jurisdiction. Kantor v. Wellesley Galleries, ltd 704 F2d 1088, 1092 (9th cir.1983.)
Because federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction, it is presumed that a cause
lies outside this limited jurisdiction, and the burden of establishing the contrary rests
upon the party asserting jurisdiction. Vacek v United states postal service 447 F3d
1248, 1250 (9th Cir 2006) (quoting Kokkonen v Guardian life Ins. Co.of Am 511
US. 375, 377 (1994) (citation omitted)). For diversity of citizenship Plaintiffs were
supposed to provide competent evidence of state citizenship of the parties at the
time this legal action was filed, in order to show that the parties were diverse.
JURISDICTION IS ALWAYS BEFORE THE COURT AND THE COURT
HAS A DUTY TO DISMISS A CASE, WHERE IT HAS NO JURISDICTION

Aldisert found that under precedent of Gould Electronics, inc v United states, 220
F. 3d 169, 176 (3d Cir.2000) Third Circuit court of Appeals had jurisdiction to
review under 28 U.S.C. 1291 the issue of subject matter jurisdiction as a basis
for dismissal of the case. Third Circuit court of Appeals also found that a
District Court has a duty to raise doubts about its jurisdiction at any time,
and the party asserting jurisdiction bears the burden of showing that the
case is properly before the court at all stages of litigation. Packard v
Provident National Bank, 994 F. 2d 1039, 1045 (3d Cir. 1993) and similarly J& R
Ice cream Corp. v. California Smoothie Licensing, 31 F. 3d 1259, 1265 n.3 (3 rd
Cir 1994). In its opinion in Freedman v Raab Third Circuit proceeded to expand
and reiterate that the basis upon which jurisdiction depends must be alleged
affirmatively and distinctly and cannot be established argumentatively or by mere
inference 5C. Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure 1206, at 78-
79 (1969 & Supp. 2005); Thomas v Board of Trustees, 195 U.S. 207, 210 (1904)
(holding that diversity jurisdiction, or the facts upon which, in legal intendment,
it rests, must be distinctly and positively averred in the pleadings, or should
appear affirmatively and with equal distinctness in other part of the record);

certain states are insufficient to carry its burden of pleading the diversity of the
parties. In cases in which jurisdiction is based on diversity of citizenship,
plaintiff has burden to show, first, that applicable statute confers jurisdiction, and,
second, that assertion of jurisdiction is consonant with constitutional limitations
of due process. Weight v Kawasaki Motors Corp. (1985, ED Va) 604 F Supp 968.
Party's mere allegation of diversity cannot satisfy its burden of establishing
district court's jurisdiction; citizenship of each real party in interest must be
established by preponderance of evidence.Roche v Lincoln Prop. Co. (2004, CA4
Va) 373 F3d 610.
Complaint alleging that defendant's corporate citizenship was in a state other than
California but failing to allege that plaintiffs were all citizens of California was not
sufficient to give District Court jurisdiction since pleadings did not otherwise
resolve issue of citizenship. Bautista v Pan American World Airlines, Inc. (1987

citizens of State; also patient only sought $ 10,000 in cost and unspecified amount
for other damages, which did not meet amount in controversy

In McMann v. Doe (2006, DC Mass) 460 F Supp 2d complaint against John Doe
defendant alleging Internet defamation was dismissed for lack of subject
matter jurisdiction because there was risk that if John Doe's identity were
discovered there could have been no diversity, and court's jurisdictional
authority would have disappeared; court declined to read amended language of28
USCS 1441into 28 USCS 1332 because it would have accomplished much
broader result of allowing case with only one party and only state law claims to
proceed initially in federal court Olsen v Quality Continuum Hospice, Inc. (2004,DC

In motorist's personal injury lawsuit against, inter alia, owners of property adjacent
to private railroad-track crossing where car-train accident occurred, pursuant to 28
USCS 1447(d), appellate court lacked jurisdiction to review remand that implicitly
was based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction; district court clearly was addressing
jurisdictional issues--diversity of citizenship, 28 USCS 1332, and fraudulent
joinder--and when doing so, it properly declined to decide doubtful question of state
law and, instead, resolved ambiguity (lack of state law directly on point) in
motorist's favor. Filla v Norfolk & Southern Ry. (2003, CA8 Mo) 336 F3d 806.

Court has duty to look to its own jurisdiction and lack of subject matter
jurisdiction may be asserted by court, sua sponte, at any time. Jeter v Jim
Walter Homes, Inc. (1976, WD Okla) 414 F Supp 791.259. decided by a
preponderance of evidence.
Plaintiffs refused to provide drivers license or an ID card to show the state
citizenship of the lead plaintiff Lisa Liberi. Defendants provided Liberis criminal
record from the San Bernardino, California court, showing Liberi being on
probation under supervision of the San Bernardino, California probations
department, allowed to reside only in California or New Mexico, not in any other
state, not in Pennsylvania. Taitz demanded to see Liberis proof of state citizenship.
Originally Plaintiffs claimed that they showed Judge Robreno Liberis drivers
license during 08.07.2009 motion hearing. Taitz was not able to attend this hearing
and requested the transcript. On July 30, 2010 Plaintiffs filed an emergency motion,
where they demanded to keep the transcript sealed and accused the defendant and
attorney for the defendants Taitz of trying to hire a hit man to kill Liberi and
claimed that for this reason the transcript needs to be sealed. Judge Robreno ordered
the transcript released to Taitz. The transcript showed that the Plaintiffs did not
provide Liberis drivers license, and actually during the hearing judge Robreno
ordered Liberi and her attorney Berg TO FILE LIBERI's DRIVERS LICENSE
WITH COURT. The docket shows that Liberi and BergNEVER FILED LIBERIS

DRIVERS LICENSE. After Liberi, in presence of judge Robreno, was confronted
with her criminal record and her own mug shot, she admitted, that she is a felon,
who was convicted in Ca in 2008. (Exhibit 1 12.23.2010 memorandum by Judge
Robreno) Currently, Liberi filed a first Amended complaint, where she states, that
she was a resident of New Mexico at the time she filed this legal action , but refuses
to provide her address. As Plaintiffs never filed any documentary evidence of
Liberis state citizenship, this legal action has to be dismissed under 12b1, as the
plaintiffs did not provide any competent evidence of state citizenship of the party to
the action, necessary for the court to assume jurisdiction in diversity, and the court
does not have jurisdiction over the case.
In the matter of public policy it is important to finally enforce 12(b)(1). If this
is not done, this will be a dangerous precedent for any felon on probation, like
Liberi, to file a frivolous SLAPP action, claiming to be a resident of another state
and trying to assume another identity. Such criminal, like Liberi, will make up
outrageous slanderous accusations, accusing her victims and whistle blowers of
capital crimes of trying to hire a hit man to kill her and would demand jurisdiction in
diversity based on her bare allegations and insinuations.
Liberi and Berg are in contempt of court for two years now. It has been two
years since judge Robreno ordered them to file with court Liberi's identification
documents, and they did not do it. It is time for the federal court to enforce 12(b)(1)
and dismiss this case due to lack of jurisdiction.

ALL CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST "DEFEND OUR FREEDOMS
FOUNDATION" NEED TO BE DISMISSED UNDER 12(B)(6)
Plaintiffs first amended complaint, despite being more than double the page-count
of the original complaint, violates the edicts of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule 8(a).
According to that rule, a complaint must contain a short and plain statement of the claim
showing that the pleader is entitled to relief. (FRCP 8(a)) For instance, the first 21 pages
of Plaintiffs first amended complaint is dedicated to Taitz alleged ignorance regarding
the workings of the internet and that she falsely accused someone, not any of the Plaintiffs,
of hacking into her blog. Defendants will attempt to fit all major points of this motion in
only 25 pages allowed for memorandum in response to 170 pages complaint. Even though,
the dispute relates only to the publications by DOFF and Taitz, as president of DOFF, out
of malice and with intend to harass, Plaintiffs named as defendants Orly Taitz, inc- dental
practice of Orly Taitz, who happens to be a dentist and a lawyer, her law office, against
her as an individual, her husband, and his employer, which shows complete frivolousness
of this complaint.
1. THE STANDARD FOR RULE 12(B)(6) MOTIONS
A Rule 12(b)(6) motion is similar to the common law general demurrer - i.e., it tests
the legal sufficiency of the claim or claims stated in the complaint. (De La Cruz v. Tormey
(9th Cir. 1978) 582 F.2d 45, 48; SEC v. Cross Fin'l Services, Inc. (CD CA 1995) 908
F.Supp. 718, 726727 (quoting text);Beliveau v. Caras (CD CA 1995) 873 F.Supp. 1393,
1395 (citing text); United States v. White (CD CA 1995) 893 F.Supp. 1423, 1428 (citing
text) The Twombly/Iqbal standard of pleading requires a complaint to contain sufficient
factualallegations to show a plausible claim for relief. Twombly/Iqbalteaches that a
defendant should not be forced to undergo costly discovery unless the complaint contains
enough detail ... to indicate that the plaintiff has a substantial case. (Bissessur v. Indiana
Univ. Bd. of Trustees (7th Cir. 2009) 581 F3d 599, 603)
A Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim can be used when a

plaintiff has included allegations in the complaint that, on their face, disclose some
absolute defense or bar to recovery: If the pleadings establish facts compelling a decision
one way, that is as good as if depositions and other expensively obtained evidence on
summary judgment establishes the identical facts. (Weisbuch v. County of Los Angeles
(9th Cir. 1997) 119 F.3d 778, 783, fn. 1;Hensley Mfg. v. ProPride, Inc. (6th Cir. 2009)
579 F.3d 603, 613;Hearn v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. (D AZ 2003) 279 F.Supp.2d 1096,
1102 (citing text)) Plaintiffs can plead themselves out of court by pleading particulars that
show they have no legal claim. They are not saved by having pleaded legal conclusions
that would support the claim where the facts pleaded are inconsistent with those legal
conclusions. (Weisbuch v. County of Los Angeles (9th Cir. 1997) 119 F.3d 778, 783, fn. 1;
Bender v. Suburban Hosp., Inc. (4th Cir. 1998) 159 F.3d 186, 192while notice pleading
does not demand that a complaint expound the facts, a plaintiff who does so is bound by
such exposition.)
A Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss may also be used where the lawsuit is brought
against defendants who have statutory or common law immunities (e.g., governmental
officers and entities). (Leveto v. Lapina (3rd Cir. 2001) 258 F.3d 156, 161;McKenna v.
Wright(2nd Cir. 2004) 386 F.3d 432, 436; see also United States v. Gaubert(1991) 499
U.S. 315, 324325, 111 S.Ct. 1267)
2. THE COMMUNICATIONS DECENCY ACT IMMUNIZES TAITZ FROM
LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF HER PUBLICATION OR RE-
PUBLICATION OF INFORMATION RECEIVED FROM ANOTHER
INFORMATION CONTENT PROVIDER
Plaintiffs 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th causes of action uniformly arise out of
Taitzs alleged publication and re-publication of Dossier #6 (Req. for Judicial Notice No.
1). Dossier #6 was an internet posting on Taitzs blog which resulted from Taitzs
combining of content provided by Neil Sankey and Sarah Redd.

Although Dossier #6 is not attached to Plaintiffs complaint, it is specifically
referenced by Plaintiffs on numerous occasions throughout the complaint and its content
forms the substantial basis on which Plaintiffs invasion of privacy, defamation, and
intentional infliction of emotional distress claims are based. While it is true that Plaintiffs
are not required to attach to the first amended complaint the documents on which a
Defendants liability is based, if a plaintiff fails to do so, a defendant may attach to a Rule
12(b)(6) motion the documents referred to in the complaint to show that they do not
support plaintiff's claim. (SeeBranch v. Tunnell (9th Cir. 1994) 14 F.3d 449, 454
(overruled on other grounds in Galbraith v. County of Santa Clara (9th Cir. 2002) 307
F.3d 1119, 1127);Bryant v. Avado Brands, Inc. (11th Cir. 1999) 187 F3d 1271, 1281, fn.
16)
Thus, the Court may consider the full text of a document that the complaint quotes
only in part. (In re Stac Electronics Securities Litig. (9th Cir. 1996) 89 F.3d 1399, 1405,
fn. 4; Dorsey v. Portfolio Equities, Inc. (5th Cir. 2008) 540 F.3 333, 338) Documents not
physically attached to the complaint may nonetheless be considered by the court on a 12(b)
(6) motion to dismiss if: (1) the complaint refers to such document; (2) the document is
central to plaintiff's claim; and (3) no party questions the authenticity of the copy
attached to the 12(b)(6) motion. (Branch v. Tunnell, supra, 14 F.3d at 454; Chambers v.
Time Warner, Inc. (2nd Cir. 2002) 282 F.3d 147, 153, fn. 3 (collecting cases)) This
prevents a plaintiff with a legally deficient claim (from surviving) a motion to dismiss
simply by failing to attach a dispositive document on which it relied. (Pension Benefit
Guar. Corp. v. White Consolidated Industries, Inc. (3rd Cir. 1993) 998 F.2d 1192, 1196
(parentheses added)) The Court should consider the full text of Dossier #6 here. The first
amended complaint specifically mentioned Dossier #6 and, in reading the first amended
complaint as a whole, it is central to Plaintiffs claim of relief. Furthermore, the Dossier
#6 of which judicial notice is requested is a copy that Plaintiffs attached to their original
proposed first amended complaint that they filed on May 20, 2011. All of the elements for

allowing the Courts consideration of Dossier #6 are, therefore, met.
B. Dossier #6 and Allegations in Plaintiffs First Amended Complaint
Reveals the Applicability of Federal Statutory Immunity Under the
Communications Decency Act
Arguably, even if the Court does not consider Dossier #6, Plaintiffs allegations in
the first amended complaint alone are sufficient to establish statutory immunity under the
Communications Decency Act. In paragraph 68 of the first amended complaint, Plaintiffs
adopted Taitzs alleged posting on the blog for DOFF that the information she was
obtaining came from databases: LexisNexis and Choicepoint. (FAC 68) Plaintiffs
followed up that allegation with another allegation that Defendant Orly Taitz already had
Liberi and Ostellas private data from the Reed Defendants and Defendant Intelius, Inc.
(FAC 70) Under the Communications Decency Act Taitz, as a user of an interactive
computer service, cannot be treated as the publisher or speaker of information provided by
another information content provider such as LexisNexis, Inltelius and Choicepoint. What
is more, Plaintiffs admit that Neil Sankey first circulated the article which claimed that
Liberi had an extensive criminal record going back to the 1990s (FAC 63) and that it was
Sankey who provided Taitz with an e-mail containing Liberis social security numbers, her
husbands name, date of birth, maiden name, and residence (FAC 69).
The Communications Decency Act of 1996 provides that: [n]o provider or user of
an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any
information provided by another information content provider. (47 U.S.C. 230(c)(1))
No cause of action may be brought and no liability may be imposed under any State or
local law that is inconsistent with this section. ( 230(e)(3)) The California Supreme
Court analyzed the Communications Decency Act in the context of SLAPP suits in the
case ofBarrett v. Rosenthal (2006) 40 Cal.4th 33, 51 Cal.Rptr.3d 55.
InBarrett, Plaintiffs, Dr. Stephen J. Barrett and Dr. Terry Polevoy, operated Web
sites devoted to exposing health frauds. Defendant Ilena Rosenthal directed the Humantics

Foundation for Women and operated an internet discussion group. Plaintiffs alleged that
Rosenthal and others committed libel by maliciously distributing defamatory statements in
e-mails and Internet postings, impugning plaintiffs' character and competence and
disparaging their efforts to combat fraud. They alleged that Rosenthal republished various
messages even after Dr. Barrett warned her they contained false and defamatory
information. The defamatory statements were summarized as follows:Dr. Barrett is arrogant, bizarre, closed-minded; emotionallydisturbed, professionally incompetent, intellectually dishonest,a dishonest journalist, sleazy, unethical, a quack, a thug, abully, a Nazi, a hired gun for vested interests, the leader of asubversive organization, and engaged in criminal activity(conspiracy, extortion, filing a false police report, and otherunspecified acts.)
Dr. Polevoy is dishonest, closed-minded; emotionallydisturbed, professionally incompetent, unethical, a quack, afanatic, a Nazi, a hired gun for vested interests, the leader of asubversive organization, and engaged in criminal activity(conspiracy, stalking of females, and other unspecified acts)and has made anti-Semitic remarks.
Rosenthal moved to strike the complaint under California Code of Civil Procedure
section 425.16. She claimed her statements were protected speech, and argued that
plaintiffs could not establish a probability of prevailing because she was immune under
section 230. She also contended her statements were not actionable.
The court granted the motion, finding that Rosenthal's statements concerned an
issue of public interest within the scope of the anti-SLAPP statute, and were, for the most
part, not actionable because they contained no provably false assertions of fact. The court
determined that the only actionable statement appeared in an article Rosenthal received via
e-mail from her codefendant Tim Bolen. This article, subtitled Opinion by Tim Bolen,
accused Dr. Polevoy of stalking a Canadian radio producer. Rosenthal posted a copy of
this article on the Web sites of two newsgroups devoted to alternative health issues and the
politics of medicine, not on the site of her own discussion group.
According to Rosenthal, these newsgroups were part of the wild west of the

Internet, (Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union (1997) 521 U.S. 844, 851, 117 S.Ct.
2329, 138 L.Ed.2d 874.) with no administrators and no one to enforce rules of conduct.
The trial court ruled that this republication was immunized by section 230(c)(1).
The California Supreme Court held that Rosenthal was, in fact, protected from
liability under the circumstances. By its terms, section 230 exempts internet intermediaries
from defamation liability for republication. (Barrett v. Rosenthal (2006) 40 Cal.4th at 63)
Plaintiffs may attempt to argue that Taitz actively participated in the creation of the
materials that were included in Dossier #6, however, as the en banc court cautioned in Fair
Housing Council of San Fernando Valley v. Roommates.Com, LLC(9th Cir. 2008) 521
F.3d 1157, 1162: only [w]here it is very clearthat the website directly participates in
developing the alleged illegality ... [will] immunity ... be lost.... [I]n cases of enhancement
by implication or development by inference[,] ... section 230 must be interpreted to protect
websites not merely from ultimate liability, but from having to fight costly and protracted
legal battles. (Id. at 1174-75) (Emphasis added)
The Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. 230) gives defendants immunity
from her re-publication of information she obtained from LexisNexis and Choicepoint,
Sankeys report which allegedly contained Liberis social security number, and her re-
publication of Liberis San Bernardino County Superior Court record. The Court should
find that Plaintiffs cannot present any facts to support a judgment in their favor against
Taitz and DOFF because of the immunity provided by the Communications Decency Act
and direct Plaintiffs to seek recovery against the LexisNexis and Choicepoint Defendants
who are the original information content providers.

other official proceeding authorized by law, or (4) in the initiation or course of any other
proceeding authorized by law The fact that the publication is a falsehood is not the
determining factor, and the privilege encompasses even perjury, so long as the publication
of perjured matter falls within the statutory requirements. (Flatley v. Mauro (2006) 39
Cal.4th 299, 32124, 46 Cal.Rptr.3d 606explaining rationale and relation to SLAPP
statute;Rusheen v. Cohen (2006) 37 Cal.4th 1048, 1058, 39 Cal.Rptr.3d 516collecting
cases on point) The privilege is absolute and protects publications made with actual
malice or with an intent to do harm even if, for example, the publication is made outside
the courtroom and without invocation of any court function. (McClatchy Newspapers, Inc.

Corp. of America v. Wilburn (1987) 189 Cal.App.3d 764, 77172, 777, 234 Cal.Rptr. 653
Plaintiffs' premise is that the subjective intent, purpose, or knowledge of a writer can
destroy the privileged status of otherwise privileged statements. The law is otherwise.)
The privilege has been interpreted to extend to communications to a local police
department concerning possible wrongdoing made with the intent to prompt police action.

encouraging reports of misconduct or unfitness by law enforcement officers is so strong
that virtually no complaint, no matter how ill-founded or basely motivated, has been found
sufficient for criminal or civil liability) Statements made to prompt an official
investigation that may result in the initiation of judicial proceedings may fall within the
47(b) privilege as well. (Kemps v. Beshwate (2009) 180 Cal.App.4th 1012, 103

PROSECUTION BECAUSE PLAINTIFFS HAVE FAILED TO ALLEGE
ANY ACTIONABLE PRIOR ACTION
Liberis malicious prosecution cause of action is entirely based upon Defendants
filing of a Motion for Emergency Revocation of Probation against Liberi in San
Bernardino County Superior Court. (FAC 316) The malicious prosecution cause of
action is based upon a motion that Liberi alleges was wrongfully filed by Taitz.
The commission of the tort of malicious prosecution requires a showing of an
unsuccessful prosecution of a criminal or civil action, which any reasonable attorney

would regard as totally and completely without merit, for the intentionally wrongful
purpose of injuring another person. (Downey Venture v. LMI Ins. Co. (1998) 66
Cal.App.4th 478, 499, 78 Cal.Rptr.2d 142) Malicious prosecution actions require the
initiation of a full blown action. Subsidiary procedural actions within a lawsuit, such as an
application for a restraining order, will not support a claim for malicious prosecution.
(Adams v. Superior Court(1992) 2 Cal.App.4th 521, 528, 3 Cal.Rptr.2d 49) Making
motions for reconsideration in a criminal case were not independent actions and could not
constitute the initiation of a lawsuit for purposes of malicious prosecution claim. (Id.)
InAdams the defendants were being sued by Plaintiff Vu in Santa Clara County
alleging four causes of action for malicious prosecution and abuse of process. Vus
lawsuit was based on the premise that the attorneys acted tortiously when they attempted to
intervene in criminal cases in Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties in which Vu was
attempting to have felony convictions reduced to misdemeanors or expunged. The Santa
Clara County Superior Court had granted reduction of a felony conviction pursuant to
Penal Code section 17, subdivision (b)(3), and the San Mateo County Superior Court
granted dismissal pursuant to Penal Code section 1203.4.
After both courts granted that relief, the petitioners/defendants filed motions for
reconsideration in both actions seeking to bring to the attention of the respective courts
Vus alleged conduct in a fraudulent real estate sale. The attorneys alleged motive was
their wish to preserve the felony convictions to impeach Vu in a civil suit involving that
fraudulent real estate sale. The complaint alleged that they made the reconsideration
motions for the purpose of annoying [Vu], to cause [Vu] to expend further moneys on
attorneys' fees to defend said motion; to cause [Vu] to experience anxiety, nervousness and
loss of sleep resulting from her shame and embarrassment associated with the possibility
of once again being considered a felon; and furthermore ... with purpose of gaining
collateral advantage on the pending litigation in Monterey County, ... Vu also charges the
motive of pressuring her to compel her to yield in the Monterey lawsuit. The San Mateo

County Superior Court denied petitioners' motion for reconsideration without any mention
of lack of standing. However the Santa Clara County Superior Court denied the motion for
lack of standing.
Vu then sued petitioners for malicious prosecution and abuse of process in Santa
Clara County. Petitioners demurred and the trial court overruled petitioners demurrers to
causes of action for abuse of process and has sustained, but with leave to amend,
demurrers to causes of action for malicious prosecution. (Adams v. Superior Court(1992)
2 Cal.App.4th at 526-527) The Court of Appeal overruled the trial courts orders and
instructed the trial court to sustain the demurrer as to all causes of action with leave to
amend. The Court of Appeal agreed with the defendants argument that the tort of
malicious prosecution requires the initiation of a full-blown action as well as its favorable
termination for the malicious prosecution plaintiff and directed the lower court to sustain
the demurrer without leave to amend. (Id. at 528)
Here, as inAdams, there was no full blown action initiated by Taitz. By Plaintiffs
own admission, Taitz merely filed a motion in the criminal case. (FAC 316) Because the
prior action element of a cause of action for malicious prosecution has not been alleged,
Plaintiffs have failed to state any facts on which this cause of action may be based.
5. LIBERI HAS FAILED TO STATE FACTS SUFFICIENT TO STATE A
CLAIM TO SUPPORT THE 11TH
CAUSE OF ACTION FOR ABUSE OF
PROCESS BECAUSE NO PROCESS RESULTED FROM THE
ALLEGEDLY IMPROPER MOTION
Liberis abuse of process cause of action is again entirely based upon Defendants
filing of a Motion for an Emergency Revocation of Probation against Liberi in San
Bernardino County Superior Court. (FAC 327) The abused of process cause of action is
based upon a motion that Liberi alleges was wrongfully filed by Taitz.
In order to state a claim for abuse of process, Liberi must establish a substantial use
or misuse of a legal process. (Loomis v. Murphy (1990) 217 Cal.App.3d 589, 595, 266

Cal.Rptr. 82) An abuse of process is an act done in the name of the court and under its
authority by use of a legal process for the purpose of perpetrating an injustice. (CACI
1520; Woodcourt II, Ltd. v. McDonald Co. (1981) 119 Cal.App.3d 245, 252, 173 Cal.Rptr.
836) The Court of Appeal inAdams v. Superior Court, supra, held that one of the bases
for sustaining defendants demurrer to Vus complaint for abuse of process was because
the mere filing of motions in the criminal cases which were denied and thus did not result
in any order or process which could be misused by the defendants was not sufficient to
support plaintiffs abuse of process claim. (Adams v. Superior Court(1992) 2 Cal.App.4th
at 532)
The same holding and reasoning should apply here. Assuming all of Plaintiffs
allegations to be true, because Plaintiffs admitted that Judge Sabet denied the motions
(FAC 316), Liberi has failed to present any facts to support her cause of action for abuse
of process since, as a matter of law, no process was either issued or misused by Taitz.
6. LIBERI AND OSTELLA HAVE FAILED TO STATE FACTS SUFFICIENT
TO SUSTAIN THEIR 7TH
CAUSE OF ACTION FOR CYBER-STALKING
BECAUSE HAVE NOT ALLEGED A CREDIBLE THREAT INTENDING
TO PLACE PLAINTIFF IN REASONABLE FEAR
In order to establish the tort of stalking, Plaintiffs must allege all of the following
elements: (a) That Taitz engaged in a pattern of conduct the intent of which was to
follow, alarm, or harass them. To establish this element, the allegations must be
supported with independent corroborating evidence. (Cal. Civil 1708.7(a)(1)); (b) That as
a result of the Taitzs pattern of conduct, they reasonably feared for their safety, or that of
an immediate family member. (Cal. Civil 1708.7(a)(2)); and (c) That Taitz either (1) as
part of a pattern of conduct, made a credible threat with the intention of placing the
plaintiff in reasonable fear for his or her safety, or that of an immediate family member;
and, on at least one occasion, the plaintiff clearly and definitively, but unsuccessfully,
demanded that the defendant stop that pattern of conduct (Cal. Civil 1708.7(a)(3)(A)), or

(2) violated a restraining order (Cal. Civil 1708.7(a)(3)(B)).
Even assuming Plaintiffs allegations to be true, Ostella and Liberi cannot meet the
first and last elements of a claim for stalking. Plaintiffs have failed to sufficiently allege
that Taitzs intention was ever to follow, alarm, or harass Ostella and Liberi. What is
more, the complaint is bare when it comes to credible threats allegedly made by Taitz
against Liberi and Ostella. The only threats made by Taitz alleged by Plaintiffs were
contained in paragraph 275 of the first amended complaint where they claim that Taitz
openly threatened to destroy Liberi and get rid of her; Taitz threatened to have Liberis
children professionally kidnapped; Taitz has called for the political purging of Liberi and
Ostella. The meaning of political purging is to kill. None of these threats, standing alone
are sufficient credible threats under the circumstances. Although the complaint need not
contain detailed factual allegations, its (f)actual allegations must be enough to raise a
right to relief above the speculative level ... on the assumption that all the allegations in the
complaint are true (even if doubtful in fact). In short, it must allege enough facts to state
a claim to relief that isplausible on its face. (Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly (2007) 550
US 544, 556557, 570, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 1965, 1974 (parentheses in original; emphasis
added))
Additionally, Defendants refer the court to three motion hearings held in this case before
the prior judge on the case, Judge Robreno. Plaintiffs repeatedly demanded TRO, claiming cyber
harassment, cyber bullying, cyber-stalking. All three times their motions were denied. In his
12.23.2010 memorandum Judge Robreno has already ruled, that the Plaintiffs provide bare
allegations without any proof and without any admissible evidence. Similarly, Plaintiffs provided
their allegations in the Third Circuit court of Appeals and demanded TRO due to their claims of
cyber harassment. Third Circuit court of Appeals denied all of their claims as well.

by a federal government agency, shall be subject to a civil action,
for invasion of privacy, by the individual to whom the information
pertains. (enphasys added)
Yet again, looking at the four corners of the complaint, it is clear, that the plaintiffs
did not satisfy any of the prongs to qualify for damages under 1798.53
1Plaintiffs did not specify one single piece of information, one single fact, that was
published by the defendants, which is "private" and not available to the public.
2. If arguendo something published, was not part of public record, which there
wasn't, Plainiff did not plead with specificity any facts, that would show that the
defendants knew or should have known, that information was not public.
3. Even if arguendo there was any information that was not public, which there
wasn't, plaintiffs did not plead with specificity any facts, that would show, that such
publication was intentional.
So, this cause of action fails on all prongs and needs to be dismissed due to failure to
state a claim.

damage, particularly in light of the fact, that Liberi, herself, provided her full social
security number, which is readily available in unredacted form in her two
bankruptcy filings and in her declaration filed in her criminal case.(Request for
judicial notice) At any rate, Liberi is seeking statutory damages based on violation
of 1798.85 and there are no statutory damages at all under this statute, therefore this
cause of action needs to be dismissed under 12b6. If arguendo, a statutory damage
of $3,000 per publication, would be provided, even though there is no statutory
damages, than one time publication of an unredacted number would be punishable
with $3,000, regardless of how many people read the web site, it is still one
publication. This penalty not only falls far below $75,000 needed as a minimum
amount for the complaint to be sustained in federal court, and the complaint will
have to be dismissed under 12b1, such damage would not even qualify the case for
the state superior court, as small claims limits are up to $7,500, which places this
case squarely in the small claims court. Additionally, Plaintiffs did not plead any
causation, that would show, that the fact, that one of Liberi's social security
numbers, that was unredacted for a day or two in April 2009, over 2 years ago,
caused her any damages. As shown in exhibits 2 and 3 Liberi readily entered her full
social security number in her Bankrupcy applications, that she made in 2000 and in
2002. She provided two different full social security numbers.(for the purpose of
this filing, her numbers were redacted). Additionally, Liberi has entered her full
social security number in her declaration made in her criminal case in San

Bernardino, CA. Plaintiffs made multiple general allegations, but did not provide
with specificity any facts that showed them to suffer any specific damage. They did
not show, for example, that somebody stole something from Liberi, while using her
social security number and this damage is actually and proximally related to the
publication. Even if arguendo there would have been any specific damage, which
there wasn't, Plaintiffs did not plead any specific facts to show any nexus to the
actions by the Defendants. Is it plausible to believe, that Liberi suffered any damage
due to the fact, that her number was unredacted for a day or two on DOFF web site
and not because it was unredacted and up to this day remains unredacted in her two
bankruptcy applications, which are public domain, or in her criminal case, which is
also public domain? No, it is not plausible, which means that the claim fails under
Twombly standard. (Liberi's social security number in attached exhibits was
redacted for the purpose of this filing, but a full, unredacted record is readily
available for public at large)
Additionally, Plaintiffs are flagrantly attempting to defraud this court.
Plaintiffs are trying to defraud the court by attaching remedies from statute
1798.84, which relates only to customers of governmental agencies to the
following statute 1798.85, under which they are suing. In their original complaint
plaintiffs sued under 1798.81, which is statute, that relates only to customers of
governmental agencies, whose full social security numbers were made public.
Defendants filed motions to dismiss under AntiSLAPP and 12b 1 and 12b6, where

they showed, that those statutes do not relate to them, as they are not governmental
agencies and Plaintiffs are not their customers. In response Plaintiffs filed an
amended complaint, where they removed a cause of action under 1798.81 and sued
under 1798.85, but they included reference to remedies under 1798.84, which are
remedies relating to the prior statute 1798.81.
This is reminiscent of schemes pulled by Liberi in her case FWV 028000, for which
she was convicted of 10 felonies.
While Liberi is a criminal, who does not feel obligated to act with any ethics to the
court, her attorney Philip Berg, who was granted pro hac vice by this court and local
attorney Gary Kreep, know that they are officers of the court and are not allowed to
pull such schemes and defraud the court. Defendants demand not only dismissing
this cause of action, which is based on non-existent statutory damages, but also
sanctioning Berg and Kreep for attempting to defraud the court.
Sixth cause of action needs to be dismissed under 12b6
3. CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, defendants respectfully request to be dismissed from
Plaintiffs 1st
through 11th
causes of action in the first amended complaint with prejudice.
The first amended complaint is a SLAPP suit and Plaintiffs cannot state facts sufficient to
state a viable claim against defendants based upon the allegations of the first amended
complaint, the immunity afforded by the Communications Decency Act, and the privilege
granted by California Civil Code section 47.
