Written Statement of
| Objections to the Report
| and Recommendations
Eduardo Aguirre et Al. | Dated 1-23-07
Defendants | with Memorandum of Points
| and Authorities
| To Honorable Judge Abrams
Plaintiff, Pierre Genevier, presents the following objections to
the 2nd report and recommendations of Magistrate Judge Abrams dated
1-23-07:
1)
Concerning the dismissal of ‘tort claims against the US with leave to amend’
(plaintiff assumes that Judge Abrams refers to the common law conspiracy
and negligence causes of action).
Plaintiff opposes the US substitution for
Robinson for the common law conspiracy cause of action which describes a
criminal conspiracy to hurt plaintiff, to cover up civil servant
wrongdoings, to prevent plaintiff from obtaining justice and from resettling (…) because Sara Robinson (or any US
Attorney) could not (cannot) be acting within the scope of her (his) employment when she (he) criminally conspired (commit a crime) – the opposition to the
substitution is for this precise act of conspiring to hurt an
individual, to cover up wrongdoings (…) not for the negligence cause of action (‘tort claim against a federal employee involving
multiple acts or incidents is considered on an act-by-act for purpose of
Westfall Act Certification’.).
Moreover, US Attorney Wong Yang is not an impartial officer to make
the certification because she was informed of Robinson wrongdoings (and did not stop them), and her office refused to investigate the criminal wrongdoings of the case.
Finally, the complaint wording was clear enough to explain that
plaintiff had presented a claim and it gave the dates the claim was presented, so there is no need to force plaintiff to
amend his complaint.
2) Concerning the dismissal
of 'Federal civil right and conspiracy claims against the US motion with
prejudice’ (plaintiff assumes that
Judge Abrams refers to the civil
rights and conspiracy to interfere to with civil rights causes of action).
Plaintiff did not (and did not intend
to) describe any civil right claims against the US (see previous objections), but if the Court wants to dismiss claims that do not exist, it is
welcome to do so. Plaintiff would be grateful to the Court if
it could refer to the claims or causes of action by the names or numbers used
in the complaint.
Plaintiff respectfully ask Judge Abrams and Judge Guilford (a) to strike Robinson certification for the common law conspiracy (and civil
rights causes of action no 1, 2, and 3), (b) to deny the US substitution for Robinson in the common law conspiracy cause of action, to deny the US motion to dismiss the negligence and common law conspiracy causes
of action, and to order the US and Robinson in her individual capacity to
answer to the negligence and the common law conspiracy causes of action.
Dated: February , 2007

Memorandum of Points and Authorities.
On
October 19 2005, plaintiff filed a complaint for (1) deprivation of civil rights, (2) conspiracy to interfere with civil rights, (3) common law conspiracy against several civil servants in
their individual capacities [and the LA County for (1) only],
and for (4) negligence against
defendants United States of America
and Los Angeles County. On December 28 2006, the District Judge
followed the recommendations of the magistrate Judge and dismissed the claims against
the Los Angeles County, CDSS employees (Mendoza, Castello, Campbell,
Bolton), and federal defendants,
Sara Robinson (in her
individual and professional capacities), Eduardo Aguirre, Robert Looney,
Janie Lee, Earl Dotson, Mr. Mahoney, Sue Amstrong, INS-duty-Attorney and
INS-manager (in their official capacities) for
the civil rights causes of action. He also denied the supplemental jurisdiction
for the negligence cause of action against the LA County. On January 23 2007, the magistrate judge recommended
the dismissal of (a) the ‘civil rights and conspiracy claims against the
United States with prejudice and without leave to amend’, and (b) of the ‘tort
claims with leave to amend’; it also ordered plaintiff to file a first
amended complaint on a date to be set by the court.
Plaintiff files now these objections to mention
again that he never did and never intended to file a complaint for (a) civil
rights or (b) conspiracy to interfere with civil right against the US. Second, plaintiff explained that Robinson
was not acting within the scope of her employment when she conspired to hurt plaintiff,
to cover up civil servant wrongdoings, (..)(allegations presented in the common law conspiracy claim that amount
to a criminal conspiracy. See complaint page 24), and therefore that the
US should not be substituted in place of Sara Robinson in the common law
conspiracy claim. Plaintiff also argues that US Attorney Wong Yang
is not an impartial officer to do the certification. And finally, plaintiff statement that he filed a claim in the
complaint was clear enough and meaningful enough, so there is not need to force
him to re-file an amended complaint.
II Concerning the dismissal of ‘tort claims against the US with leave to amend’ (plaintiff assumes that
Judge Abrams refers to the common law conspiracy and negligence causes of
action).
1. Notice of substitution.
Judge Abrams states on page 5 line 18 that ‘Plaintiff contends that
(a) the certification is very general; (b) depriving plaintiff of civil rights
or conspiring to interfere with someone’s civil right is not within the scope
of Robinson’s work; (c) Robinson was not defending her client…at the time she
made various statement…; and (d) the United States Attorney for the Central
district of California is not an impartial officer to write the certification’.
Judge Abrams ignores a critical argument,
on page 7 of his opposition to the US motion to dismiss, plaintiff wrote that ‘
the certification was ‘not appropriate for the grave and criminal wrongdoings’, and that he opposed the certification for ‘those grave wrongdoings
– the ones described in causes of action (1) deprivation of civil rights, (2)
conspiracy to interfere with civil rights, and (3) common law conspiracy.’ Not just the (a) civil right and (b) conspiracy to interfere with
civil right causes of action, as Judge Abrams writes it. And of course plaintiff does not oppose the certification for the negligence cause of action. To criminally conspire is not
the same thing or the same act as a negligent act, and a ‘tort claim against
a federal employee involving multiple acts or incidents is considered on an
act-by-act for purpose of Westfall Act Certification. The Attorney General can certify which acts or incidents were
within the scope of employment and maintainable against the US [Lyons v. Brown
(1st Circ. 1998) 158 F 3d. 605, 610-611]’ (Rutter Federal CP
before trial 7:18.2). In Lyons also on
page 605 the Court states: ‘Where a
single case involves multiples claims, Westfall Act “scope of employment’
certification is properly done at least down to the level of individual claims
and not for the entire case viewed as a whole 28 USCA 2679 (c)”. Yang’s certification is not a proper act-by-act or even
claim-by-claim certification, and it does not address the gravity of criminal
conspiracy (and civil rights) causes of action (1, 2, 3).
Judge Abrams also writes: ‘Conduct is
within the scope of employment as long as it ‘is not unusual or startling
that it would seem unfair to include the loss resulting from it among other
costs of employer’s business’.
Plaintiff would be grateful to the Court if it read again the
allegations in no 111 of the complaint page 24, because it describes a very ‘unusual or startling’ conduct – to conspire to hurt an
individual (to make him sick to death…), to corruptly maintain a legal
proceeding, to cover up civil servants wrongdoing, to prevent the press and
media from talking about a proposal that
could have prevented the war in Iraq… is not a ‘usual’ type of behavior,
and it would be very unfair to let the US bare the cost of this unusual
conduct, especially after it had spent
so much on the War in Iraq (more than $400 billions already)(moreover plaintiff
continues to suffer today from the wrongdoings)! Again to commit a crime
cannot be part of the scope of a US attorney’s work! Certification must be stricken for the common law conspiracy
cause of action (and the civil rights causes action).
Then Judge Abrams argues on page 6 line 23 that ‘Plaintiff does not
even purport to assert that
Robinson took any action that was not consistent
with typical functions of her job as an AUSA. Nor does plaintiff offer any evidence that Robinson
“substantially deviated from her duties for personal purposes”. Consequently,
plaintiff request to strike the certification of Robinson is denied.’
This is also incorrect. First, plaintiff did not ask the Court to strike
the certification of Robinson for all her actions (see opp. Page 7 line 22-25), he made difference between the various
causes of actions, and he argued that the act of conspiring to hurt an
individual … (or the deprivation of civil right, and conspiracy to interfere
with civil right) is not consistent
with typical functions of the AUSA job. The complaint alleges a criminal conspiracy
and the Court must accept as true the allegations until they have been proven
to be wrong which is not the case yet.
And plaintiff does offer evidences that ‘Robinson substantially
deviated from her duties for personal purpose’ when he stated that Robinson
could not pretend that plaintiff
was not a refugee for the Department of Homeland Security purpose or benefit
when, at the same time, this Department of Homeland Security was certifying
that plaintiff was indeed a refugee [see opp. page 8 line 11]. She had to do this for a ‘personal
purpose’ - to cover up the defendant (Dotson) that worked on the same floor
as her in the federal building (among other), most probably a friend, and to
hurt a foreign individual (hate crime, crime based on national origin). [Again the refugee
status is matter of life and death, so her statement was death sentence!] In one of her pleadings she
even pretended that the initial complaint was only directed against this specific
defendant (Dotson) only!
2. The origin of the certification.
Judge Abrams did mention
that plaintiff thought that the US Attorney
Yang was not an impartial officer to make the certification that Robinson
was acting within the scope of her employment; but he ignored the
arguments presented and did not address
the issue in his argumentation although plaintiff did bring
(a) a proof that Debra Wong Yang
was informed of Robinson wrongdoing, but did nothing to stop them (see opp.
page 11 line 9), and (b) a proof that plaintiff had also contacted her office
to have the criminal wrongdoings (criminal conspiracy, hate crime)
investigated, but that they denied the request (see opp. P 11 line 21), so she cannot be an impartial
officer to make the certification (the fact that the
certification was not done on a claim-by-claim basis as it should be, confirm
this).
Finally, plaintiff also explained that the US Attorney Yang certification
proved or indicated that either (a) there is no certification that it is in the
interest of the US to defend Robinson in her individual capacity (and that she
was acting within the scope of her employment for the criminal or common law
conspiracy or civil rights causes of action) by the
Attorney General (or his designee) pursuant to 28 CFR 50.15; or (b) if there is
one it certifies only the act of negligence, but not the act of conspiring to
hurt plaintiff… described in the common law conspiracy (and civil rights) causes
of action (1, 2, 3). The certification
presented by US Attorney Yang is made pursuant to 28
CFR 15.4 which has different requirements than 28 CFR
50.15 (see opp. P. 10 line 23), and it is not done on a claim-by-claim
basis. This
is a critical issue, and it was not properly addressed
in the previous recommendations and order date 12-28-06, so plaintiff will also
filed (in conjunction with these objections) a motion to reconsider the
dismissal of Robinson in her individual capacity for the civil right claims
because Mr. Lester has not yet proven that he and the US Attorney office had
obtained the proper authorization to defend her in her individual capacity (he
has not presented the certification pursuant to 28 CFR 50.15). Plaintiff asks the Court to recognize that
Yang is not an impartial officer and that her certification is not properly
made claim-by-claim, and to strike the certification for the conspiracy cause
of action (and civil rights causes action) (1, 2, 3).
3. Presentation of administrative claims, and
complaint allegations of the compliance with this duty.
Judge Abrams agreed that plaintiff had presented an administrative claim,
and therefore that the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland
Security violated 28 CFR 14 regulating the handling of
administrative claims, and were again negligent, but he still uses a
questionable ground to justify the dismissal with leave to amend and to
force plaintiff to file an amended complaint!
According to the Rutter federal, this will open the possibility of a new
round of pleading like a motion to dismiss, instead of starting discussing the
issues in an answer and in discovery, and this would be unfair.
It is obvious that judge Abrams and the US Attorney Lester know that to
present a negligence cause of action (against a public agency) under FTCA, a
plaintiff must first file an administrative claim and then he must wait 6
months (or the response of the public agency) before filing his complaint at
the Court, so when plaintiff wrote ‘Count 4, Reserved for negligence. (Until 6 months after presentment, claims filed
on 9/19/05 and 9/22/05)’ in the complaint p. 28, it necessarily meant that he had filed a claim [one at the LA County
and one for the US (at the federal agencies concerned) on the dates mentioned].
Because of the filing of the other
causes of action, plaintiff had to mention that the negligence cause of action
was valid only 6 months after he presented his claim (and he had to put the
date he presented the claim).
Moreover, the meaning of these words and of the dates (‘Count 4,
Reserved for negligence. (Until 6
months after presentment, claims filed on 9/19/05 and 9/22/05)’) was even more obvious if (or when) the US
Attorney reads the cover letter of the claim addressed to the US (various
federal agencies concerned, see opp. exh. 1) that was stamped September 22
2005. If the various federal agencies
(DHS, DOJ) had not been negligent, the word would have been even more meaningful,
so there is not need to blame plaintiff for their negligence or new wrongdoings
by criticizing a complaint that was precise enough!
Plaintiff copied this way of doing from an example brief written by a
lawyer, so the Court cannot pretend that it was not clear. The plaintiff respectfully asks the Court to
deny the US motion to dismiss the negligence and the common law conspiracy
causes of action, and to ask the US and Robinson in her individual capacity to
answer the complaint (for the negligence and common law conspiracy causes of
action) [a mention ‘for the LA County’ and ‘under
FTCA’ can be added by hand by the Court on the complaint between
‘Claims filed’ and ‘on 9/19/05’ and ‘and’ and ‘9/22/05’ as it is allowed by the California rule of court number 3.1324 d), if
the defendant and the Court still wants to see it]. The Court must not encourage the negligence
of the Department of Justice that should have transferred the claim, registered
it and investigate it (as well as the DHS).
Plaintiff would like to remind the Court that he lives in very difficult
conditions and has a heart disease, and that he has asked the help of the
justice to resolve (and obtain a compensation for) his immigration problems
after he had done everything possible outside the Court system. It is unfair to delay the proceeding or to
let him live in so difficult condition with his health problems. Plaintiff asks therefore also again the
Court to grant the refugee (or other) benefits to help him improve his diet and
health, and to avoid him from being sent in the street, or/and dying before the
end of the case!
III Conclusion.
The
Defendant US (DOJ, DHS) did not handle the claim properly, did not present the
appropriate certification to defend Robinson in her individual capacity
pursuant 28 CFR 50.15, or a proper certification on a claim-by-claim basis
pursuant to 28 CFR 15.4, the certification presented was not made by an
impartial officer (Yang who was informed of Robinson wrongdoings …), the common law conspiracy describes ‘startling and unusual conducts’, and the complaint is clear enough when it
mentions that administrative claims have been filed.
Plaintiff therefore respectfully requests that
Judge Abrams and Judge Guilford (a) strike the certification that Robinson was
acting within the scope of her employment for the common law conspiracy (and
civil rights causes action as well), (b) deny the US substitution for Robinson
in the common law conspiracy cause of action, (c) deny the motion to dismiss
the US for the negligence cause of action and Robinson for the common law
conspiracy cause of action, and (d) order the US and Robinson in her individual
capacity to answer these causes of action and to start working on
discovery. [Plaintiff did not
describe (and did not intend to describe) any ‘civil right claims’ against the US – see previous objections, but if the Court want to dismiss claims that do not exist, it is welcome to do so.]
