Re: Various emai1s and facsimile transmissions.

Dear Mr. Zernik:

As a follow up to my enclosed response to you dated February 19,2010, I have been

advised that failure-to-appear bench warrants are exempt from the Penal Code provisions
applicable to other warrants. According to the holding in People v, Superior Court (Copeland)
(1968) 262 Cal.App.2d 283,285, no signed warrant is required when a person signs a written
promise to appear at the time and place specified in the citation, and fails to appear or post bail
by that date. See 4 Witkin & Epstein, California Criminal Law (3d ed.), Pretrial Proceedings,
§50, "Failure to Appear." The clerk's docket entry and the abstract of the warrant generated
electronically and sent to police agencies is all that is required. Accordingly, there will not be a
signed warrant in your case files; only an abstract of the warrant, and the entry in the docket.
That is all the case law and statutes require for such a failure to appear traffic warrant.

Re: Various emails and facsimile transmissions.

Dear Mr. Zernik:

You continue to send large numbers of communications to the court's Executive

Officer, the Presiding Judge and others by email and facsimile. For the reasons I have
explained a number of times in previous letters, your emails and facsimiles are not accepted
by the court and are not delivered. I have advised you that you should mail your inquiries
directly to me. Because of the screening procedures that have been necessitated by the nature
of your email and facsimile communications there is a significant risk your requests sent by
email or facsimile may not be received or that there may be substantial delay in responding to
them.

Your enclosed facsimile was forwarded to me. You indicate that you were arrested
and jailed on February 6, 20 I 0, and you request copies of the arrest warrants related to those
arrests. Most criminal records, including yours, are public documents available for inspection
at the courthouse where they are on file. Copies may be obtained by paying the statutory fee
of $5 for each search (Government Code section 26854) and $0.50 per page (Government
Code section 70627(a)). Criminal records are not available on line.

It appears from the register summary that a complaint was filed by the Los Angeles
County Sheriffs Department in the Beverly Hills court on February 10,2009, charging a
violation of Vehicle code sections 14601. 1(A), and Vehicle code section 24252(A) in case
number 9BV00316. On March 4, 2009, it appears that you failed to appear and a bench
warrant was issued for your arrest, with bail set in the amount of $30,000. You should be
able to review the file and obtain copies of the arrest warrant or any other pleadings in the file
at the Beverly Hills courthouse. The actual case file at the courthouse is the best record of the
proceeding. The register summary is not the best record.

It appears from the register summary that a complaint was filed on October 28, 2008
by the Burbank Police Department in the Burbank court charging violation of Vehicle Code
section 14601.1 (A) and 23123(A). On November 24, 2008, it appears that you did not appear
on this matter and a bench warrant for your arrest was issued, with bail set in the amount of
$5,000. It further appears that on January 28, 2009, you were released on your own

recognizance by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, with an appearance date set for
March 11, 2009. On March II, 2009, it appears that you did not appear and a bench warrant
was issued for your arrest, with bail set in the amount of$5,000. You should be able to
review the file and obtain copies of the arrest warrant or any other pleadings in the me at the
Beverly Hills courthouse. The actual case file at the courthouse is the best record of the
proceeding. The register summary is not the best record.

Whether the complaints were validly filed, whether you committed the charged
offenses, and whether the bench warrant was appropriately issued are all matters that will have
to be raised in the pending criminal proceedings. Neither court staff nor any judge may
publicly comment upon pending cases.

Very truly yours,
