    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.

    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-

    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

    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

    NM) 380 F Supp 2d 1225.

    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)

    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.

    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

    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.

    v. Superior Court(1987) 189 Cal.App.3d 961, 234 Cal.Rptr. 702statements by reporter

    during deposition and later publication in reporter's newspaper are privileged; Financial

    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.

    (Shaddox v. Bertani (2003) 110 Cal.App.4th 1406, 1415, 2 Cal.Rptr.3d 808, 815policy of

    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

    concerning potential court actions as well as actions actually filed. (Dove Audio, Inc. v.

    would regard as totally and completely without merit, for the intentionally wrongful

    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

    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.

    local government agency acting solely in his or her official

    capacity, who intentionally discloses information, not otherwise

    public, which they know or should reasonably know was obtained from

    personal information maintained by a state agency or from "records"

    within a "system of records" (as these terms are defined in the

    Federal Privacy Act of 1974 (P. L. 93-579; 5 U.S.C. 552a)) maintained

    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.
