wreview.
3 15. I have personal knowledge of the policies, customs, and practices of several
4
Defendants herein through years working with or against them in various
capacities in my own matters, and in assisting hundreds of moms, dads, and
children in similar matters nationwide as a founder and current President of
California Coalition for Families and Children. My experience is supplemented
by thirteen years practicing law and in litigating dozens of matters in state and
federal courts nationwide.
10 16. I hereby incorporate by reference Plaintiffs First Amendment Complaint, Doc.

11
No. 90, paragraphs 946-977 describing The Pita tool empowered in part by
12
the Domestic Violence Restraining Orders this Motion seeks to enjoin. The Pit is
13
one pillar for the extortion, fraud, and abuse of process exploited by the Domestic
14
Dispute Industry Criminal Enterprise (DDICE) to perpetrate the crimes described
15
in the First Amended Complaint.
16 17. To illustrate how domestic violence restraining orders are exploited by the
17
DDICE as part of The Pit to defraud and extort Domestic Dispute Industry
18
Litigants, I attach hereto as Exhibit N a true and correct copy of a 1999 article
19
written by Leonard Karp and published in The Journal of the American Academy
20
of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML).
21 18. The AAML is an invitation only Domestic Dispute Industry organization

22
consisting primarily of elite Domestic Dispute Industry lawyers. See, AAML
23
profile of Defendant Sharon Blanchet describing Ms. Blanchet as a Certified
24
Family Law Specialist with 24 years of experience. She is a Fellow in the
25
invitation-only American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (President of the So
26
Calif Chapter 2011) and the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers.
27
http://www.aaml.org/divorce-lawyer-san-diego-california-sharon-blanchet.
28 19. In Mr. Karps AAML Journal article, he counsels:
Almost every divorce case carries with it some form of domestic tort, and thus,
the filing of such a claim must be considered in all divorce cases. When a
marriage turns sour, spouses frequently engage in offensive and sometimes
violent behavior towards each other, and many times towards their children.
Thus, the filing of the tort usually, as in any other tort case, is weighted by
considerations of your client's damages and the chances of recovery. Only
when there is a serious physical or psychological injury, and a source of
recovery, should a practitioner consider pursuing a separate tort action. The
source of recovery, however, need not be limited to the perpetrator's estate
10
alone. Damages may be sought from third parties who may share in the
11
responsibility for the injured spouse's damages, or from insurance coverage.
12
13
In other cases, when the damages are not as significant, or when a "deep
14
pocket" defendant cannot be found, the threat of a domestic tort, along with a
15
well prepared strategy to proceed, can be a bargaining chip for a larger share of
16
the marital estate, or higher spousal maintenance payments at the negotiation
17
table.
18
19
In drafting the cause of action, a practitioner is limited only by his or her
20
imagination. As a starting point, common legal theories that have been used as
21
a basis for pleading a domestic tort case include: negligence, negligent
22
infliction of emotional distress, negligence per se, defamation, deceit and
23
fraudulent misrepresentation, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of
24
emotional distress, wrongful death, assault and battery, and implied cause of
25
action for the violation of a criminal statute, including sexual assault. Thus, the
26
causes of action available, coupled with the lesser burden of proof in a civil
27
case for a victim, plus the absence of the constitutionally protected rights of the
28
perpetrator and evidentiary rules protective of criminal defendants, make the

filing of a domestic tort a realistic option for a victim to redress abuse.

2 Leonard Karp, Federal Law and Domestic Violence: The Legacy of the Violence
3 Against Women Act 16 Journal of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers
4 174 (1999) available at
5 http://aaml.org/sites/default/files/federal%20law%20and%20domestic%20violence6 16-1.pdf. (Ex. N hereto).
7 20. The American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers thus conveys the logic of
8
seeking a deep pocket that is in addition to the perpetrators estate by
asserting any number of allegations limited not by veracity, but only by a
10
practitioners imagination. Mr. Karp also counsels Domestic Dispute Industry
11
practitioners that there exists an absence of the constitutionally protected rights
12
of the perpetrator and evidentiary rules protective of criminal defendants in
13
Family Court.
14 21. Mr. Karp counsels that this absence of constitutional and procedural protections
15
makes assertion of an implied cause of action for the violation of a criminal
16
statute or negligence per se or negligent infliction of emotional distress a
17
realistic option to increase the pool of recoverable damages in a dissolution
18
proceeding. He counsels that by such action a dissolution petitioner may expand
19
the pool of recovery to include not only the community property over which the
20
dissolution court has jurisdiction, but also a spouses separate property assets.
21 22. Mr. Karps article counsels, commands, induces or procures (18 U.S.C. 2)
22
AAML members to assert an implied cause of action for the violation of a
23
criminal statute against not only the other party to the dissolution proceedings,
24
but also to pursue other deep pockets such as the dissolving couples
25
homeowners insurer, separate liability insurance, employers, and assets of the
26
spouses relatives to leverage a bargaining chip for a larger share of the marital
27
estate, or higher spousal maintenance payments at the negotiation table.
28 23. Mr. Karps counsel to use the threat of an implied cause of action for the
violation of a criminal statute is quite ingenious. Its also quite illegal.
7
1 24. 18 U.S.C. 1951 provides:

2
3
(a) Whoever in any way or degree obstructs, delays, or affects commerce or the
movement of any article or commodity in commerce, by robbery or extortion
or attempts or conspires so to do, or commits or threatens physical violence to
any person or property in furtherance of a plan or purpose to do anything in
violation of this section shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more
than twenty years, or both.
9
10
(b) As used in this section
11
(1) The term robbery means the unlawful taking or obtaining of personal
12
property from the person or in the presence of another, against his will, by
13
means of actual or threatened force, or violence, or fear of injury, immediate or
14
future, to his person or property, or property in his custody or possession, or
15
the person or property of a relative or member of his family or of anyone in his
16
company at the time of the taking or obtaining.
17
18
(2) The term extortion means the obtaining of property from another, with
19
his consent, induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or
20
fear, or under color of official right.
21
22 Cal. Pen.C. 518 provides:
23
24
Extortion is the obtaining of property from another, with his consent, or the
25
obtaining of an official act of a public officer, induced by a wrongful use of
26
force or fear, or under color of official right.
27
28 Cal. Pen.C. 519 provides:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
Fear, such as will constitute extortion, may be induced by a threat, either:

1. To do an unlawful injury to the person or property of the
individual threatened or of a third person; or,
2. To accuse the individual threatened, or a relative of his or
her, or member of his or her family, of a crime; or,
3. To expose, or to impute to him, her, or them a deformity,
disgrace, or crime; or,
4. To expose a secret affecting him, her, or them .
9
10 25. This obscene exploitation of The Pit counseled, commanded, induced and
11
procured by the AAML is multiplied by the manufactured perceptionongoing
12
in this lawsuitthat there exists a domestic relations exception to the laws of
13
the United States and the State of California.
14 26. For example, counsel for Defendant Dr. Stephen Doyne, Mr. Christopher Zopatti,
15
has deployed such a perpetration before this Court at Doc. No. 67-1, pp. 16-17.
16
Mr. Zopatti argues that this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over Plaintiffs
17
federal law claims because the parties or events have a relationship to prior
18
domestic dispute litigation in state court.
19 27. This proposition is clearly false. This matter is brought under the constitution and
20
laws of the United States, and no Plaintiff asserts state domestic law. To the
21
extent that any Plaintiff challenges the constitutionality of state policies, practices,
22
regulations, or laws under Title 42 of the United States Code, such matters are
23
expressly within the public health and welfare jurisdiction of United States courts
24
under 28 U.S.C. 1331.
25 28. In Ankenbrandt v. Richards, 504 U.S. 689, 693 (1992) the United States Supreme
26
Court defined the Domestic Relations Exception to exist only within federal
27
diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1332. Its inapplicability to federal
28
question jurisdiction has been recently confirmed in a case originating out of our
neighboring Central District of California, Marshall v. Marshall, 547 U.S. 293,
9
305 (2006). Further contemporary analysis is available. Attached hereto as
Exhibit O is a true and correct copy an article by Emily J. Sack entitled The
Domestic Relations Exception, Domestic Violence, and Equal Access to Federal
Courts, 84 Wash. U.L. Rev. 1441 (2006).
5 29. Dr. Doynes attempt to deceive this Court is foolishly ambitious, yet not entirely
6
surprising given the success with which he has been able to deceive or collude
with state courts to perpetrate the deception on family court litigants. Unlike the
Court and at least some present counsel, the citizens who entrust their familys
welfare to Dr. Doyne and thousands of his ilk are rarely so sophisticated. Indeed,
10
when aware litigants assert federal rights in state family court procedure, the
11
Domestic Dispute Industry has been less than welcoming. See, e.g., STUART
12
ASSAULT, MALICIOUS PROSECUTION, OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE,
13
CIVIL RIGHTS, RACKETEERING Counts in Plaintiffs First Amended
14
Complaint.
15 30. Yet thousands of county superior court judges throughout the state of California
16
oversee perpetration of the fraud daily in their courtrooms, and even extend the
17
courtesies of the State of Californias police powers to enforce illegal domestic
18
violence restraining orders such as those challenged in Plaintiffs Motion. See
19
Exhibit T
20 31. Attached hereto as Exhibit P is a true and correct copy of the Report of United
21
States Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, Intimate Partner
22
Violence in the U.S.
23 32. Attached hereto as Exhibit Q is a true and correct copy of the transcript of oral
24
argument before the United States Supreme Court in the proceedings for the
25
matter entitled United States v. Hayes, Doc. No. 07-608, available at
26
http://www.oyez.org/cases/2000-2009/2008/2008_07_608.
27 33. Attached hereto as Exhibit R is a true and correct copy of the transcript of oral
28
argument before the United States Supreme Court in the proceedings for the
10
matter entitled United States v. Castleman, Doc. No. 12-1371, available at
http://www.oyez.org/cases/2010-2019/2013/2013_12_1371.
3 34. Notwithstanding the abundant attention devoted to the issue of domestic violence,
4
there exists remarkable disagreement among many researchers as to the nature,
cause, and solutions to the problem. Attached hereto as Exhibit S is a
publication entitled The Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project. This article
states Over the years, research on partner abuse has become unnecessarily
fragmented and politicized.
9 35. It is my professional opinion as a lawyer of fifteen years, father, and family court
10
reform advocate that much of this confusion and fragmentation has been caused
11
by ill-advised drafting, interpretation, and enforcement of domestic violence laws,
12
leading to confusion, and enabling parties such as the present defendants to
13
manipulate vague laws and standards such as abuse harass domestic
14
violence and the like for inappropriate ends. Such laws enable not merely
15
confusion, but coercion, fraud, and extortion of domestic dispute industry litigants
16
en masse, leading to the racketeering, civil rights abuse, obstruction of justice and
17
deplorable malicious profiteering from such chaos.

Restraining Orders issued by Defendant C. GOLDSMITH on JUDICIAL
COUNCIL Form DV-110 and by the processes identified above. I am presently
restrained by a Domestic Violence Restraining Order based on Form DV-130,
issued in about May, 2010 by un-named judicial official Edward Allard, which is
effective until about May or June, 2015.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America
