10-08-13 RE: BD 518 503 - Complaint against Attorney David Pasternak and the Superior
Court of California, County of Los Angeles, for public corruption and racketeering in
pretense receiverships at the Court.

Executive Summary 1
Los Angles, August 13 – complaint was filed with US Attorney Office, Central District of California, by Human Rights Alert (NGO) and
Joseph Zernik, PhD, against Attorney David Pasternak, the Superior Court of California, and others for public corruption and
deprivation of rights and racketeering in receiverships operations at the Court in general, and in re case BD 518 503 in particular.
The complaint alleged that Attorney David Pasternak appeared in the case as receiver with no authority at all, as part of a pattern of
operating receiverships at the court with no legal foundation, and thereby looting persons coming to the Court, where they expect
honest court services.
The complaint provided evidence of void, false on their faces, and deliberately misleading court orders appointing Mr Pasternak
“Receiver” in the case:
a) An order appointing Attorney Pasternak was produced from the case, which failed to cite any section of the California code
as the legal foundation for his authority;
b) The order came with a false and deliberately misleading authentication record, and
c) There was no evidence that the order was entered in the manner in which such orders are required to be entered pursuant to
the California code to make them valid and “effectual for any purpose”.
Others named in the complaint were Commissioner James D Endman, Presiding Judge Charles McCoy, Clerk of the Court John A
Clarke, Judge David Yaffe – in charge of Writs and Receiverships, Court Counsel Frederick Bennett, Attorney Elyse P Margolin (Levin
& Margolin), Attorney Burton M Senkfor (Law Office of Burton Mark Senkfor), Attorney John A Ellis (Trope & Trope), and Attorney
Edward Friedman (Turner Aubert & Friedman, LLP).
The complaint further claimed that conduct of receiverships of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, were a well-
established racket. Previous complaints against Mr Pasternak and others noted similar conduct by Attorney David Pasternak in
Galdjie v Darwish (SC052737) and Samaan v Zernik (SC087400), both alleged as real estate fraud by the Court through conduct of
Attorney David Pasternak. In the latter case, James Wedick, a highly decorated FBI veteran, and a renowned fraud expert, also issued
an opinion stating conduct of David Pasternak “fraud being committed”.
Fraud in operations of receiverships at the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles was claimed as part of a larger fraud
scheme, where the Court published for several decades false and deliberately misleading Local Rules claiming that Judgment Books
of the Court were maintained by the Clerk at the various Districts of the Court, while in fact no such Books were maintained by the
Court for several decades. Presiding Judge Charles McCoy and Clerk of the Court John A Clarke also refused to correct such false
Local Rules, or disclose to true Local Rules of the Court regarding Judgment Books. Court Counsel Frederick Bennett, alleged as a
central figure in the racket, claimed with no authority at all that the Judgment Book of the Court today was the Microfilm Judgment
Archive of the Court. Review of a large volume of records in the Microfilm Archive indeed revealed routine entry of divorce decrees.
However, hardly any judgments of the civil courts were found entered in the Archive, and not a single order appointing receiver was
ever found in the Archive.
David Pasternak is former President of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, former Member of the California Judicial Council, and
former President of Bet Tzedek (“The House of Justice”) – a prominent Los Angeles Jewish charity. Therefore, the complaint alleged
that his conduct reflected widespread corruption of the California courts and the legal profession.
Human Rights Alert is dedicated to discovering, archiving, and disseminating evidence of Human Rights violations by the justice
systems of the State of California and the United States in Los Angeles County, California, and beyond. Special emphasis is given to
the unique role of computerized case management systems in the precipitous deterioration of integrity of the justice system in the
United States.

Andre Birotte Jr., US Attorney, Central District of California.


221 N Figueroa St, Los Angeles, CA 90012
By certified mail.
By fax: 213-894-6269

TO US ATTORNEY, CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA: Please accept instant Citizen’s


Complaint by Joseph Zernik, PhD, and Human Rights Alert (NGO) against Attorney David Pasternak and the
Los Angeles Superior Court – for public corruption and deprivation of rights, and conduct of a well-
established racketeering enterprise relative to pretense receiverships at the Court. Attorney David Pasternak is
alleged as key figure the enterprise at the Court. Evidence is provided from the case of BD 518 503, as
addition to cases of the Court, which were documented in previous complaints.
COMPLAINT
A. General
1. What did the experts say about the justice system in Los Angeles County, California?
• "Innocent people remain in prison"
• "...the LA Superior Court and the DA office, the two other parts of the justice
system that the Blue Panel Report recommends must be investigated relative to
the integrity of the system, have not produced any response that we know of..."
LAPD Blue Ribbon Review Panel Report (2006) i
• "...judges tried and sentenced a staggering number of people for crimes they did
not commit."
Prof David Burcham, Dean, Loyola Law School, LA (2000) ii
• "This is conduct associated with the most repressive dictators and police states...
and judges must share responsibility when innocent people are convicted."
Prof Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean, Irvine Law School (2000) iii
2. Complainants

Tel: 323-515-4583
Fax: (preferred) 323-488-9697
Email: (preferred) jz12345@earthlink.net
3. Complainants are not attorneys, neither are they represented by counsel in matters, which are
subject of instant complaint.
Therefore, in most case, no sections of the code were cited. Instead, the US Attorney is requested to
apply the correct sections of the code. In case errors were made, where sections of the code were cited,
the US Attorney is requested to disregard such citations of the code, and instead - review the facts alone
and apply to them the correct sections of the code.
3. Public Policy Significance
The complaint holds unique public policy significance, since it documents the conduct at the Superior Court
of California, County of Los Angeles, which is alleged as a well-established racketeering enterprise, which
was also documented in previous complaints filed with your good offices.
Moreover, Attorney David Pasternak is former President of the Los Angeles County Bar Association, former
Member of the California Judicial Council, and former President of Bet Tzedek (“The House of Justice”) – a
prominent Los Angeles Jewish charity. Therefore, the complaint alleged that his conduct reflected
widespread corruption of the California courts and the legal profession.
4. The Accused
a) Attorney David Pasternak (Pasternak, Pasternak, Patton, LLP);
b) Commissioner James D Endman;
c) Presiding Judge Charles McCoy;
z Page 3/7 August 13, 2010 TOC

d) Judge David Yaffe – Judge in charge of Writs and Receiverships


e) Clerk of the Court John A Clarke;
f) Court Counsel Fredrick Bennett;
g) Attorney Elyse P Margolin (Levin & Margolin);
h) Attorney Burton M Senkfor (Law Office of Burton Mark Senkfor);
i) Attorney John A Ellis (Trope & Trope), and
j) Attorney Edward Friedman (Turner Aubert & Friedman, LLP).
5. General Claims
Conduct of the accused at the Civil Division of the Court in the caption, referenced above, is alleged as
including, but not limited to:
a) Public Corruption;
b) Deprivation of Rights Under the Color of Law;
c) Honest Services Fraud;
d) Fraud;
e) Mail Fraud;
f) Falsification of Court Records;
g) Conspiracy,
h) Denial of due process of law, and
i) Racketeering.
It should be emphasized that conduct in the civil courts, which is detailed in instant complaint, is not unique at
all. Other pretense actions at the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, were detailed in
previous complaints pertaining to Galdjie v Darwish – a prototype of real estate fraud by the Court, iv Marina
v Los Angeles County – a prime example of false imprisonment by the Court, v and Sturgeon v Los Angeles
County – which undermines any prospect of future honest services at the Court. vi Conduct of pretense
receivership by Attorney David Pasternak in Samaan v Zernik (SC087400) vii was opined as “fraud being
committed” by a fraud expert James Wedick – a fraud expert second to none.
6. Records pertaining to pretense appearances of Attorney David Pasternak as Receiver in
Exhibits a), b), and c) are records, which upon information and belief, are records that were generated and
served by Attorney David Pasternak in BD 518 503 at the Superior Court of California, County of Los
Angeles as the purported legal foundation for his pretense appearances as Receiver in the case:
a) February 18, 2010 ORDER APPOINTING RECEIVER;
b) February 18, 2010 NOTICE OF ISSUANCE OF STIPULATED ORDER APPOINTING
RECEIVER, and
c) February 18, 2010 OATH OF RECEIVER DAVID J. PASTERNAK
Of particular significance is the purported Order appointing David Pasternak Receiver. The Order in Exhibit
a) is void, not voidable, false on its face, and deliberately misleading order of the Court, and key to the
pretense appearances of Attorney David Pasternak as “Receiver” in the case:
a) The California Code provides specific sections, where a Court is permitted to establish Receivers.
The purported Order appointing Attorney Pasternak in the case, referenced above, failed to cite any
section of the California code as the legal foundation for his authority. Therefore, it must be
concluded that the Order and the purported appointment of Attorney David Pasternak in the case
lacked any foundation in the law.
b) The order came with a false and deliberately misleading authentication record, belonging to another
record: Notice of Issuance of Stipulated Order Appointing Receiver. A naïve reader could possibly
consider such false authentication record as an inadvertent error. However, review of numerous
records generated and served by Attorney David Pasternak and others at the Court, found the practice
so widespread, that it was dubbed “The Fingerprints of the Racket”.
c) There was no evidence that the order was entered in the manner in which such orders were required to
be entered pursuant to the California code to make them valid and “effectual for any purpose”.

7. Additional evidence and records are provided in records linked below, in respective court files,
and in complaints previously filed with the office of US Attorney, Los Angeles.
For the sake of brevity, only a small part of the evidence was described and linked below. Please do not
hesitate to contact Dr Zernik for additional evidence in this matter.
Please consider the records (linked below), as integral part of instant complaint.
Additional evidence pertaining to instant complaint, which further supports the allegations is held in
Court file of BD 518 503.
8. Conduct, documented in instant complaint, is the culmination of efforts by the Courts, lasting
several decades, to ambiguate procedures related to Judgment Books and Entry of Judgments and
Orders Appointing Receivers – fundamentals of Due Process of Law.
Fraud in operations of receiverships at the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles is claimed as
part of a larger fraud scheme, relative to failure of the Court to maintain a Judgment Book and enter
judgments and Orders Appointing Receivers of the Court as required by California Government Code §
69844.7 and California Civil Code §664 et seq.
The Court published for several decades false and deliberately misleading Local Rules claiming that Judgment
Books of the Court were maintained by the Clerk at the various Districts of the Court, while in fact no such
Books were maintained by the Court for several decades. Presiding Judge Charles McCoy and Clerk of the
Court John A Clarke also refused to correct such false Local Rules, or to disclose the true Local Rules of the
Court regarding maintenance of Judgment Books and entry of judgments and orders appointing receivers.
Court Counsel Frederick Bennett, alleged as a central figure in the racket, claimed with no authority at all that
the Judgment Book of the Court today was the Microfilm Judgment Archive of the Court.
Review of a large volume of records in the Microfilm Archive indeed revealed routine entry of divorce
decrees. However, hardly any judgments of the civil courts were found entered in the Archive, and not a
single order appointing a receiver was ever found in the Archive.
Therefore, Judge David Yaffe – Judge in charge of Writs and Receiverships, must also be deemed central
figure in the racket.
Additional details of the alleged fraud in entry of judgments and appealable orders were provided in
complaints, previously filed with your office against judges and the Los Angeles Superior Court, linked
below.
9. Alleged widespread corruption of the justice system in Los Angeles is drawing both national and
international awareness.
As part of the first ever review by the United Nations (UPR) of Human Rights in the United States, report was
filed by Human Rights Alert (NGO) and Dr Joseph Zernik, viii alleging widespread corruption of the justice
system in Los Angeles County, California. The report further documented the refusal of senior officers of the
US government to abide by its duties and responsibilities pursuant to ratified international law – in failure to
accord equal protection to the 10 million residents of Los Angeles County.
As part of the UPR process, US, UK, Germany, and France based blogs were created,ix where over 17,000
readers from some 85 nations were recorded so far.
A Scribd site was created for Human Rights Alert in January 2010, which has recorded over 100,000 reads,
with over 500 reads a day in recent months.x
Additional news sites, where Dr Zernik and Human Rights Alert routinely issue press releases, attracted tens
of thousands of additional readers. xi
z Page 5/7 August 13, 2010 TOC

Furthermore, an online archive was established, xii documenting the alleged abuses of rights. The archive, not
a user’s friendly site by any stretch of imagination, has attracted thousands of visits per month from nations
worldwide, totaling of close to 90,000 visits in 2010 alone. xiii
5. Remedies are requested by the US Attorney, Central District of California, including, but not
limited to equal protection of all 10 millions who reside in Los Angeles County.
US Attorney, Central District of California, is herein requested to provide the following remedies:
a) Equal protection of the Constitutional, Civil, and Human Rights of all 10 millions who reside in Los
Angeles County under US and ratified international law, by putting an end to pretend litigations at the Los
Angeles Superior Court by compelling the Courts to comply with California, US, and ratified international
law.
b) Enforcement of First Amendment rights and US Supreme Court decision in Nixon v Warner
Communications, Inc (1978) in Los Angeles County, California, by compelling the Los Angeles Superior
Court to permit public access – to inspect and to copy court records - including, but not limited to the
Register of Actions, Audit Data in the Registers, and paper court files.
c) Enforcement of Fair Hearings and Due Process rights in Los Angeles County, California, by compelling
the Los Angeles Superior Court to publish honest, valid, and effectual Local Rules of Court, including, but
not limited to rules pertaining to entry of judgment and maintenance of Books of Judgments, as required
by California Civil Code.
d) Investigation and, if necessary, prosecution of the accused, in particular Attorney David Pasternak, in re:
allegations of public corruption and deprivation of rights under the color of law. It should be noted that the
request in instant complaint for US investigation of the justice system in Los Angeles County, California,
is a repeat of the recommendations of the official report of the Blue Ribbon Review Panel (2006). xiv

6. Request for due process in acceptance, acknowledgement, and review of complaints at the US
Attorney Office, Central District of California.
As previously noted, the web pages of the US Attorney Office and information received from staff of the
Office, would lead a reasonable person to conclude that at best a vague and ambiguous procedures were
established at the US Attorney’s Office for acceptance, acknowledgment, and review of complaints at the
newly re-established Public Corruption and Civil Rights unit. It is therefore explicitly requested that the US
Attorney Office, Central District of California, accord due process to instant complaint:
a) That the complaint be accepted as such;
b) That the US Attorney Office acknowledge receipt of the complaint and issue a reference number for the
complaint;
c) That the complaint be duly reviewed, and
d) That following review, a response be provided, verified by an authorized person.
