with no evidentiary support in violation of Rule 11(b)(1)-(3). Plaintiffs and
Counsels violations of Rule 11(b) include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. The filing of a frivolous, 1,600-page complaint, the body of which
totals 251 pages and exceeds the length of the body of the original Complaint by
approximately 75 pages despite this Courts order that any amended pleading be
without unnecessary verbiage, argument, and rhetoric[;]
b. The assertion of obstruction of justice claims against those
defendants who demanded the removal of the residential addresses of judicial
officers from the original Complaint, as the posting of home addresses on the
Internet violates California Government Code section 6254.21, and the inclusion of
such information in court filings violates Section 1(h)(5) of the Courts General
Order 550;
c. The assertion of claims against the Judicial Defendants despite the
clear application of Eleventh Amendment immunity;
d. The filing of claims against judicial officers in the face of judicial
immunity;
e. The presentation of claims relating to the April 15, 2010 San Diego
County Bar Association seminar, which are ostensibly barred by the statute of
limitations;
f. The pursuit of claims concerning Stuarts dissolution proceeding that
are untimely and barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine;
g. The frivolous assertion of a false advertising claim under the Lanham
Act, given Plaintiffs inability to satisfy the competition element for such claims;
h. The filing of factually and legally unsupportable claims for violation
of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO); and
i. The presentation of claims for prospective relief without standing to do
so.
