CALIFORNIA VOTERS GUIDE TO STOP JUDICIAL CORRUPTION ON 11/8/2022
THIS IS YOUR ONLY OPPORTUNITY TO DIRECTLY END CALIFORNIA’S JUDICIAL CORRUPTION.
VOTE “NO” TO EVERY CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT AND COURT OF APPEAL JUSTICE SEEKING RE-ELECTION.
VOTE AGAINST EVERY CALIFORNIA SUPERIOR COURT JUDGE SEEKING RE-ELECTION IN EVERY COUNTY
VOTE AGAINST THE GOVERNOR AND EVERY INCUMBANT LEGISLATOR SEEKING RE-ELECTION.
Richard I. Fine, Doctor of Law, Ph.D. Law (International Law), Chmn. Campaign for Judicial Integrity; Co Chmn. Judicial Reform Comm., DivorceCorp. explains: “Since the mid 1980s, California counties and Superior Courts have paid approximately 90% of the California Superior Court judges “supplemental or local judicial benefits” in addition to the judges State compensation. These payments are over $400 million. The Superior Court judges receiving the payments became California Court of Appeal and California Supreme Court justices corrupting the entire California judicial system.”
Fine continued: “In 2008 the California Courts held the payments violated Article 6, Section 19 of the California Constitution. The judges responded by hiring a lobbyist who engineered the enactment of SBX 2 11. SBX 211 made the payments temporally legal and gave California retroactive immunity from criminal prosecution, civil liability and disciplinary action to the judges who received the payments and the counties, county supervisors and employees who made the payments.”
Fine further stated: “The Superior Court judges are disqualified but sit on cases. Examples are: (1) child custody and family law cases; (2) class action cases; (3) conservator and elder cases; (4) constitutional cases; (5) contract cases; (6) criminal cases; (7) death, estate, and probate cases; (8) eminent domain cases; (9) environmental cases; (10) personal injury cases; (11) property cases; (12) regulation cases; (13) tax cases; (14) traffic cases; (15) trust cases; and (16) zoning cases, amongst others.”
Fine concluded: “The Campaign for Judicial Integrity with the cooperation of others drafted legislation which: (1) establishes a permanent independent state commission to oversee the judiciary and compensate the victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power; (2) establishes judicial term limits of 24 years; (3) requires all judges seeking re-election to appear on the ballot, even if unopposed; and (4) prevents judges who accepted illegal payments from further becoming judges or justices, amongst other things.”
TODAY OUR CHOICE IS: (1) VOTE “NO”; or
(2) CONTINUE TO LIVE UNDER A CORRUPT JUDICIAL SYSTEM!

The History and Effect of California’s Judicial Corruption
In 1985, Los Angeles County started paying California Superior Court Judges sitting on the State of California Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles “supplemental judicial benefits” in addition to the judges’ State of California Compensation.
In 1988, Los Angeles County Supervisors justified the payments stating they were necessary to “attract and retain qualified people to serve as judges on the LA Superior Court.”
On its face, such explanation doesn’t make sense. Paying a sitting judge, a “supplemental judicial benefit” will not retain him/her in office as he/she must face an election to retain his/her judicial office. It will not recruit a judge as the judge is already in office.
Nor does it appear that over time the Los Angeles County “Supplemental Judicial Benefits” attracted more successful, experienced private lawyers to apply to be politically appointed for judgeships or to run for judgeships more than the usual government lawyers such as deputy district attorneys, deputy public defenders, county counsels and state employees.
The real reason for the Los Angeles County “Supplemental Judicial Benefits” payments was to increase the compensation of the individual members of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.
Article II, Section 4 of the Los Angeles County Charter states in relevant part: “They [Board of Supervisors] shall each receive as compensation for their services a salary, payable monthly from the County Treasury, which shall be the same as that now or hereafter prescribed by law for a judge of the Superior Court in and for the County of Los Angeles,”.
Other counties and Superior Courts followed Los Angeles County.
In 2008, such payments were held to be unconstitutional under Article VI, Section 19 of the California Constitution, in the case of Sturgeon v. County of Los Angeles, 167 Cal.App.4th 630 (2008) Review Denied 12/23/2008 [Sturgeon I].
A 2009 Report from the Administrative Office of the Courts, Judicial Council of California showed approximately 90% of California’s approximate 1,600 Superior Court Judges received the unconstitutional payments as follows: Of California’s 58 counties and Superior Courts: (1) 837 judges received supplemental benefits from 11 counties alone; (2) 334 judges received supplemental benefits from counties and Superior Courts for a combined total of 1,129 judges; (3) 334 judges received supplemental benefits from only courts; and (4) 151 judges did not receive any supplemental benefits from 23 counties.
Since 2009, no updated Report has been published. After Sturgeon I, two counties ceased paying the “supplemental or local judicial benefits”, but the increase in the number of judges in the counties paying such has made up the difference.
In response to Sturgeon I, the Legislature passed, and Governor Schwarzenegger signed SBX 2 11.
Section 2 of SBX 2 11 codified as Govt. Code 68220 (a) allowed the counties to keep paying the sitting judges the monies they paid them on July 1, 2008 “on the same terms and conditions as were in effect on that date.”
This provision was held to be constitutional as an interim revenue measure in Sturgeon v. County of Los Angeles, 191 Cal.App.4th 344 (2011) [Sturgeon II] in which the Court affirmed Sturgeon I. The Court concluded that since judicial compensation is a state and not a county responsibility, it expected the Legislature to adopt a uniform statewide system of judicial compensation.
This did not occur. In Sturgeon v. County of Los Angeles, 242 Cal.App.4th 1437 (2015) [Sturgeon III], the Court extended the payments to all judges sitting in a court in which judges received county payments on July 1, 2008. The court again called for the Legislature to fix the problem.
Section 5 of SBX 2 11gave the “governmental entity, or officer or employee of a governmental entity”who paid the “supplemental or local judicial benefits” to the judges and the judges who received such retroactive immunity from civil liability, criminal prosecution and disciplinary action as of May 20, 2009 (the effective date of SBX 2 11.)
SBX 2 11 passed each chamber of the California Legislature by over a 2/3 vote, effectively “impeaching” and “convicting” the judges who received the county payments of “Misconduct in Office” under California Constitution, Article 4, Section 18, which required the judges’ removal from office. SBX 2 11 did not remove these judges from office. California judges commit “Misconduct in Office” by taking “criminal” payments and violating their oath to uphold the U.S. and California Constitutions and laws each day they remain in office. Further, they committed fraud when taking the oath, without intending to perform the duties of upholding the Constitution and law.
Enacting Section 5 of SBX 2 11, the California Legislators and Governor each violated the federal criminal law of Misprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. Section 4) by concealing and not reporting the judges’ violation of the federal criminal law of the intangible right to honest services (18 U.S.C. Section 1346) and each violated his/her oath of office.
The U.S. Supreme Court held in Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, 18 (1958): ” No state legislator or executive or judicial officer can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it.”
U.S. judges knew of the California judges’ criminal activity through the enactment of SBX 2 11, its citation in briefs before them and because California judges were appointed to the U.S. District Courts in California and the 9th Circuit. U.S. judges through the U.S. Supreme Court violated constitutional precedent by refusing to disqualify the California judges from cases and violated the federal criminal law of Misprision of Felony by concealing the criminal acts and refusing to report the California judges for violating 18 U.S.C. Section 1346.
U.S. judges’ actions protecting California’s judges destroyed our constitutional rights to access to the courts, due process and a fair trial and the U.S. judicial system.
Since 2009, each California Governor and Legislature has done nothing to cure the judicial corruption.
The result is: (1) Citizens’ constitutional rights were violated in every case from family law to dependency to criminal to probate to eminent domain. In essence, every case in which the county was a party or had an interest in the outcome of the case was corrupted; (2) For over 35 plus years, the California judicial system has been corrupted by county supervisors who wanted to enhance their salaries by paying unlawful “Supplemental Judicial Benefits” to judges, and judges who accepted such payments from counties and courts knowing such were both unlawful and criminal as shown by Sturgeon I and SBX 2 11, Section 5; (3) Approximately $500 million of taxpayer monies which could have been used for hospitals, infrastructure and benefitting society was wasted and is still being wasted on this unlawful conduct; and (4) but for SBX 2 11, Sections 2 and 5: (a) approximately 90% of the present California Superior Court Judges are guilty of “misconduct in office” and should have been impeached, removed from office or criminally prosecuted; (b) approximately a majority of the present California Court of Appeal Justices are within such approximate 90%; and (c) four of the present California Supreme Court Justices are within such approximate 90%: Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye, appointed by Governor Schwarzenegger who recently announced her retirement; Governor Newsom’s newly appointed Chief Justice Guerrero and whom he also appointed as an Associate Supreme Court Justice; Governor Newsom’s appointed Associate Supreme Court Justice Jenkins; and Governor Schwarzenegger’s appointed Associate Supreme Court Justice Corrigan.

Dear representative: California has the most corrupt judicial system in the nation. At present, approximately 90% of the California Superior Court judges receive the illegal payments from counties or courts, and most of the higher court justices received such when they were Superior Court judges.
I demand YOU sponsor and support the Dr. Richard I. Fine Bill “Amending SBX2 11 and Related Government Code Sections; Establishing a State of California Commission on Judicial Oversight and Victims Compensation for Judicial Misconduct and Judicial Abuse of Power”. Passing the “Fine Bill” solves the “Corruption Problem”.
The reason is: In 2010, the Court held the Legislature was responsible to permanently resolve the problem created by the enactment of SBX 2 11. The Court held SBX 2 11 was interim legislation. SBX 2 11 was enacted in response to the Court holding “supplemental or local judicial benefits” paid to California State Superior Court judges by counties and/or courts was unconstitutional under California Constitution Article 6, Section 19. The payments were and under SBX 2 11 also are criminal under California and federal law.

GET PRIORITY AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BILL BY SHOWING YOU HELPED:
Take a photo or screen shot of your submission to your representative’s and keep it where you can refer to it at a later time.
The reason for this is the creators of the bill want to reward those who supported it and helped get it passed. Those victims will be allowed to file for restitution first and will need
to supply proof they’ve done so. Click on the button below to send your snapshot and info:

YES if you’ve been victimized by a California Judge.
2. Does this apply to victims going back how many years? To the mid 1980’s
3. Besides restitution for my abuse what else does the Bill do to stop Judicial abuse?
A Commission is established to oversee the judiciary
4. What will stop the deep corruption from using the court system once again to ignore the bill or change it once implemented? The Commission functions to stop all judicial corruption
5. Who is Richard I. Fine? Richard I. Fine, (Doctor of Law; Ph.D Law-International Law). He is a patriot and lawyer (presently qualified to practice before the United States Supreme Court). He was disbarred from California and “unlawfully incarcerated in solitary coercive confinement without charges being made” for 18 months in the Los Angeles County jail in retaliation for exposing (Dishonorable) Judge David Paul Yafee#29399 and all of the Los Angeles County Superior court judges for accepting unlawful payments/bribes from the county. These payments resulted in literally no one winning a case against the county when a judge made the decision.
[kaya_qrcode title=”How to Contact Your CA Legislator to Pass “Dr. Richard I. Fine Bill” to End Judicial Corruption” title_align=”alignnone” ecclevel=”L” align=”alignnone”]
California is in a Judicial Corruption Crisis, and has been, since the mid to late 1980s when Los Angeles County began paying “supplemental or local judicial benefits” to California State Superior judges sitting on the California State Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles.
This crisis has been exasperated by the California Legislature’s failure to resolve the crisis despite the Court’s ruling it was the Legislature’s constitutional responsibility on two occasions in 2011 and 2015.
This 2022 California legislative session, the California Legislature was presented with: (1) a draft Bill Amending SBX 2 11 and related Government Code Sections; Establishing State of California Commission on Judicial Oversight and Victims Compensation for Judicial Misconduct and Judicial Abuse of Power; and (2) an immediate method to enact the Legislation by “Floor Amendment”.
The Legislature refused to act prior to the 2022 session ending on August 31, 2022.
This article will discuss: (1) The Historic Judicial Corruption Problem created by County and Court Payments to California State Superior Court Judges; (2) The Present State of California’s Judicial Corruption; (3) The Failure of the California Legislature to Resolve the Judicial Corruption Problem despite the Court’s Ruling on two Occasions in 2011 and 2015; (4) The Immediate Proposed Legislative Solution to the Judicial Corruption Problem; (5) An Immediate Method to Enact the Legislation by “Floor Amendment”; and (6) The Voters’ Solution if the Present Legislature Continues to Refuse to Enact the Immediate Solution in the Extended Legislative Session.
II. The Historic Corruption Problem created by County and Court Payments to California State Superior Court Judges.
Article VI, Section 19 of the California Constitution states in relevant part:
“The Legislature shall prescribe compensation for judges of courts of record.”
Commencing in the mid to late 1980’s, the County of Los Angeles (LA County) commenced paying California State Superior Court judges sitting on the California State Superior Court for the County of Los Angeles “supplemental or local judicial benefits” in addition to their compensation “prescribed” by the State Legislature pursuant to Article VI, Section 19 of the California Constitution.
These “supplemental or local judicial benefits” comprised annual: (1) “cafeteria plan” health benefits equal to those paid LA County employees; (2) professional development allowances; and (3) contributions to each judge’s 401K or 457 retirement plans. These “supplemental or local judicial benefits” amounted to approximately 29% of each Superior Court judge’s annual California State compensation.
By paying the “supplemental or local judicial benefits”, the members of the LA County Board of Supervisors increased their own compensation by approximately 29%, as Article II, Section 4 of the LA County Charter compensated the members of the LA County Board of Supervisors at the same compensation as the State of California Superior Court Judges.
Subsequently other California counties and Superior Courts followed LA County with their own “supplemental or local judicial benefits”.
These “supplemental or local judicial benefits” payments remained secret as they were concealed under other categories in the annual budgets of the counties.
On September 15, 2000, California Supreme Court Chief Justice Ronald M. George admitted the payments existed and called them “wrong and may be unconstitutional” in an annual meeting of the California Judges Association, which was reported in the Metropolitan News.
The author was the first person to expose the “supplemental or local judicial benefits” payments as unlawful in an appellate brief to the California Court of Appeals in 2000-2001. The exposure continued in subsequent court cases in which LA County was a defendant.
Subsequently, the case of Sturgeon v. County of Los Angeles, 167 Cal.App.4th 630, 635 (2008) Review Denied 12/23/2008 [Sturgeon I] held the “supplemental or local judicial benefits” payments unconstitutional stating in relevant part:
“Section 19, article VI of the California Constitution requires that the Legislature “prescribe compensation for judges of courts of record.” The duty to prescribe judicial compensation is not delegable. Thus, the practice of the County of Los Angeles (the county) of providing Los Angeles County superior court judges with employment benefits, in addition to the compensation prescribed by the Legislature, is not permissible.” (Emphasis added.)
In response to Sturgeon I, the California Legislature enacted SBX 2 11, 2/20/2009, effective 5/20/2009.
SBX 2 11 passed each chamber of the California Legislature by over a 2/3 vote, effectively “impeaching” and “convicting” the judges who received the county payments of “Misconduct in Office” under California Constitution, Article 4, Section 18, which provision required the judges’ removal from office.
California judges commit “Misconduct in Office” by taking “criminal” payments and violating their oath to uphold the U.S. and California Constitutions and laws each day they remain in office. Further, the judges committed fraud when taking the oath, without intending to perform the duties of upholding the Constitution and law.
SBX 2 11 did not order the removal of these judges from office. Section 2 of SBX 2 11 codified as Govt. Code 68220 (a) allowed the counties to keep paying the sitting judges the monies they paid them on July 1, 2008 “on the same terms and conditions as were in effect on that date.”
Section 2 of SBX 2 11 was held to be constitutional as an interim revenue measure in Sturgeon v. County of Los Angeles, 191 Cal.App.4th 344 (2011) [Sturgeon II] in which the Court affirmed Sturgeon I. The Court concluded that since judicial compensation is a state and not a county responsibility, it expected the Legislature to adopt a uniform statewide system of judicial compensation.
This did not occur. In Sturgeon v. County of Los Angeles, 242 Cal.App.4th 1437, 1450 (2015) [Sturgeon III], the Court extended the payments to all judges sitting in a court in which judges received county payments on July 1, 2008 stating in relevant part:
“The bottom line: Section 68220 subdivision (a) plainly requires any county paying its judges supplemental benefits as of July 1, 2008 to continue to pay its judges supplemental benefits, including all judges who took office after July 1, 2008—albeit subject to the right of the county in the first two sentences of subdivision (b) to terminate those benefits after specified notice. The county has no choice and no discretion to “fix” judicial compensation, which has thus been prescribed by the Legislature. The opt-out provisions of the first two sentences of subdivision (b) provide the only choice a county has in that situation, and even then, there’s no fixing of compensation, just a choice to pay the prescribed amount or not to pay any supplemental compensation at all. The last sentence of subdivision (b) is unconstitutional surplusage.” (Emphasis added.)
The Court in Sturgeon III again called for the Legislature to solve the problem and referenced the Daily Kos article Fine, End California’s Judicial Corruption Now; Stop 2015–16 Illegal Budget Payments to Judges! (June 1, 2015) < http://dailykos.com/story/2015/06/02/1389761/-End-California-s-Judicial-Corruption> [as of Aug. 25, 2015].)
SBX 2 11 Section 5, which was not codified into the Government Code gave the judges and the County supervisors retroactive immunity from criminal prosecution, civil liability and disciplinary action.
SBX 11, Section 5, stated in relevant part:
“SEC. 5. Notwithstanding any other law, no governmental entity, or officer or employee of a governmental entity, shall incur any liability or be subject to prosecution or disciplinary action because of benefits provided to a judge under the official action of a governmental entity prior to the effective date of this act on the ground that those benefits were not authorized under law.” (Emphasis added.)
Enacting Section 5 of SBX 2 11, the California Legislators and Governor each violated the federal criminal law of Misprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. Section 4) by concealing and not reporting the judges’ violation of the federal criminal law of the intangible right to honest services (18 U.S.C. Section 1346) and each violated his/her oath of office.
The U.S. Supreme Court held in Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, 18 (1958):
“No state legislator or executive or judicial officer can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it.” (Emphasis added.)
The U.S. judges knew of the California judges’ criminal activity through the enactment of SBX 2 11, its citation in briefs before them and because California judges were appointed to the U.S. District Courts in California and the 9th Circuit.
The U.S. judges through the U.S. Supreme Court violated constitutional precedent by refusing to disqualify the California judges from cases and violated the federal criminal law of Misprision of Felony by concealing the criminal acts and refusing to report the California judges for violating 18 U.S.C. Section 1346.
The U.S. judges’ actions protecting California’s judges destroyed U.S. constitutional rights to access to the courts, due process and a fair trial and the U.S. judicial system.
90% of California’s Approximate 1,600 Plus Superior Court Judges Received Unlawful Payments
A Report Prepared by the Administrative Office of the Courts, Judicial Council of California: Historical Analysis of Disparities in Judicial Benefits: Report to the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, the Assembly Committee on Budget, and the Senate and Assembly Committees on Judiciary, (Dec. 15, 2009), Appendix D Supplemental Judicial Benefits in FY 2007-2008 showed approximately 90% of California’s approximate 1,600 Superior Court judges received supplemental benefits.
837 judges received supplemental benefits from 11 counties. 334 judges received supplemental benefits from counties and courts for a total of 1,129.
334 judges received supplemental benefits from only courts.
151 did not receive any supplemental benefits from 23 counties.
High cost of living counties which did not pay benefits were Marin and Santa Barbara counties.
Total statewide supplemental benefits paid were $33,602,542, with county supplemental benefits being $30,388,289 and court benefits being $3,214,253.
LA County [436 judges] was the highest county with $23,482,932. Orange County [112 judges] was second with $2,436,000. San Bernardino County [78 judges] was third with $1,280,175. Santa Clara County [79 judges] was fourth with $1,181,531. San Francisco County [51 judges] was fifth with $409,831. Riverside County [64 judges] was sixth with $401, 865.
San Diego Court [130 judges] was the highest court with $1,916,803.
By 2009, LA County had paid out over $400 million in unlawful “supplemental or local judicial benefits” and won literally 100% of the cases against it decided by a Superior Court judge as shown by the Litigation Reports of the County Counsel.
III. The Present State of California’s Judicial Corruption.
The California Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justices and Superior Court judges at all times knew, and know at present, 90% of California’s Superior Court judges sit on cases in which they are disqualified under law because the county which gave them a criminal payment: (1) appears before them as a party; (2) appears as a witness; or (3) has an interest.
Examples of the cases are: (1) child custody and family law cases; (2) class action cases; (3) conservator and elder cases; (4) constitutional cases; (5) contract cases; (6) criminal cases; (7) death, estate, and probate cases; (8) eminent domain cases; (9) environmental cases; (10) personal injury cases; (11) property cases; (12) regulation cases; (13) tax cases; (14) traffic cases; (15) trust cases; and (16) zoning cases, amongst others.
The California Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justices and Superior Court judges know: (1) that Section 5 of SBX 2 11 made California the most corrupt judicial system in the U.S., if not the world; (2) that California is the only state where a law gives judges immunity from criminal prosecution for taking illegal payments [bribes] from parties [counties] appearing before them in cases; (3) that they were perpetuating the corruption when they upheld unconstitutional and unlawful decisions affecting peoples’ rights by 90% of California’s Superior Court judges who unlawfully did not disclose their crimes or their legislative immunity to the litigants; (4) that they were perpetuating the corruption when they refused to require the DAs to prosecute the 90% of California’s Superior Court judges and recover the illegal payments from counties plus 20% penalty which the 90% of California’s Superior Court judges received after the effective date of SBX 2 11; (5) that they needlessly ruined peoples’ lives to perpetuate California’s judicial corruption; and (6) that their actions mandate their removal because they: (a) violated the U.S. and California Constitutions and laws; (b) engaged in “misconduct in office”; and (c) engaged in “conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice that brings the judicial office into disrepute”.
The U.S. and California Constitutions and laws are clear:
(1) U.S. Constitution, Article 6, Clause 2 states in relevant part:
“This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.” (Emphasis added.)
(2) California Constitution Article 4, Section 18 (d) states in relevant part: “State officers elected on a statewide basis, members of the State Board of Equalization, and judges of state courts are subject to impeachment for misconduct in office.” (Emphasis added.)
(3) California Constitution Article 6, Section 18 (d) (2) states in relevant part: “(d) Except as provided in subdivision (f), the Commission on Judicial Performance may …. (2) censure a judge or former judge or remove a judge for action occurring not more than 6 years prior to the commencement of the judge’s current term or of the former judge’s last term that constitutes willful misconduct in office, persistent failure or inability to perform the judge’s duties, ……. or conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice that brings the judicial office into disrepute”. (Emphasis added.)
(4) California Code of Civil Procedure Section 170.1(a)(6)(A)(iii) states in relevant part: “A judge shall be disqualified if any one or more of the following are true: A person aware of the facts might reasonably entertain a doubt that the judge would be able to be impartial.” (Emphasis added.)
(5) California Code of Judicial Ethics, Cannon 2 A states in relevant part: “A judge shall respect and comply with the law* and shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the integrity* and impartiality* of the judiciary.” (Emphasis added.)
(6) California Code of Judicial Ethics, Cannon 3 E states: “(1) A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in any proceeding in which disqualification is required by law.*(2) In all trial court proceedings, a judge shall disclose on the record as follows: (a) Information relevant to disqualification A judge shall disclose information that is reasonably relevant to the question of disqualification under Code of Civil Procedure section 170.1, even if the judge believes there is no actual basis for disqualification.(b)Campaign contributions in trial court elections.” (Emphasis added.)
(7) California Code of Judicial Ethics, Cannon 4D(1) states in relevant part: “(1) A judge shall not engage in financial and business dealings that (a) may reasonably be perceived to exploit the judge’s judicial position, or (b) involve the judge in frequent transactions or continuing business relationships with lawyers or other persons likely to appear before the court on which the judge serves.” (Emphasis added.) and
(8) California Code of Judicial Ethics, Cannon 6A states in relevant part: “Anyone who is an officer of the state judicial system and who performs judicial functions, ….. is a judge within the meaning of this code. All judges shall comply with this code except as provided below.” (Emphasis added.)
None of the 90% of California’s Superior Court judges disclosed the illegal payments from the county, the retroactive immunity under Section 5 of SBX 2 11 and the current crime of taking the payments to litigants before them. The lawyers in the cases before such judges also concealed this information. Together, the 90% of California’s Superior Court judges and lawyers deprived the party before the judge of the opportunity to present evidence to obtain a fair trial before an unbiased judge.
This action of concealment is known as an “extrinsic fraud upon the court” and makes judgments void. California Code of Civil Procedure Section 473 (d) states in relevant part: “(d) The court ….. may, on motion of either party after notice to the other party, set aside any void judgment or order.”
Today, these illegal county payments to 90% of California’s Superior Court judges still occur at the rate of approximately $30 plus million a year and still are not being disclosed to the parties appearing before the judges.
Today the California Supreme Court and Court of Appeal justices are still perpetrating the corruption.
No California Supreme Court or Court of Appeal justice or Superior Court judge: (1) ended the corruption; (2) ordered the county payments to the 90% of California’s judges stopped knowing that it is illegal [a bribe] for a judge to take a payment from a party appearing in a case before him/her; or (3) required the DAs to prosecute the 90% of California’s judges and recover the illegal payments plus a 20% penalty as mandated under law both before and after the passage of Section 5 of SBX 2 11.
IV. The Failure of the California Legislature to Resolve the Judicial Corruption Problem despite the Court’s Ruling on two Occasions in 2011 and 2015
As shown above the Court in Sturgeon II and Sturgeon III concluded it was the sole duty of the Legislature to resolve the problem of the disparity in judicial compensation creating the judicial corruption.
The Legislature failed to act to this day.
V. The Immediate Proposed Legislative Solution to the Judicial Corruption Problem.
After years of urging Legislators to act through the website campaignforjudicialintegrity.org, the author drafted the Fine “Bill Amending SBX 2 11 and related Government Code Sections; Establishing State of California Commission on Judicial Oversight and Victims Compensation for Judicial Misconduct and Judicial Abuse of Power” (the Fine Legislation).
The Fine Legislation states in relevant part:
“THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT EMERGENCY LEGISLATION AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: This legislation addresses and responds:
(1) to the systemic judicial crisis in California existing since approximately 1985 when individual counties and courts commenced paying State Superior Court judges sitting on State Superior Courts for their counties “supplemental or local judicial benefits” in addition to the State compensation (salary and benefits) paid to the judges by the State causing disparity in judges judicial salary and benefits, double taxation for citizens and residents in the “paying counties”, “unconstitutional (unlawful) ‘supplemental local judicial benefit payments’ ” to the judges resulting in 90% of California’s Superior Court judges receiving “bribes” under California and federal criminal laws;
(2) to President Biden’s June 3, 2021 Memorandum declaring Corruption to be a National Security Issue stating in relevant part:
“My Administration will lead efforts to promote good governance; bring transparency to the United States and global financial systems; prevent and combat corruption at home and abroad; and make it increasingly difficult for corrupt actors to shield their activities.” (Emphasis added.); and
(3) to the problem of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power in the judicial system by:
(a) equalizing judicial compensation to all California Superior Court judges;
(b) establishing a “compensation of victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power in the Judicial system” procedure outside the California Judicial system with predetermined dollar amounts to be paid directly to the individual “victims” by the State Controller; and
(c) establishing an administrative procedure outside the California Judicial system to rectify judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power and institute oversight to prevent it from continuing or is reduced;
(4) to the failure of SBX 2 11 to establish any means of compensation to the individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power in the California Judicial system:
(a) while giving the perpetrators of unconstitutional payments to judges and the judges who received such payments in SBX 2 11, Section 5 retroactive immunity from civil liability, criminal prosecution and disciplinary action for all acts occurring prior to July 1, 2008;
(b) to the failure of SBX 2 11 to establish any means of compensation to the individual victims of judicial misconduct and abuse of power while allowing the “illegal payments” in Section 2;
(c) to the failure of SBX 2 11 to establish any means of compensation to the individual victims of “judicial officers” (including but not limited to temporary judges, commissioners, Superior Court judges, Court of Appeal justices and/or Supreme Court justices:
(i) who entered orders and judgments after deemed to have consented to their disqualification under CCP Section 170.3(c)(4);
(ii) who were disqualified under CCP Section 170.1 or 170.6; or
(iii) who failed to disclose information required under Code of Judicial Ethics, Canon 3E(2) and failed to disqualify themselves under Canon 3E(1);
(d) to the unlawful acts as exemplified by the egregious, examples of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power upon the following individuals:
(i) Richard Lee Abrams;
(ii) Stanley Atkinson;
(iii) Stephan Brooks:
(iv) Ryan Clifford:
(v) Richard Isaac Fine:
(vi) Gertrude Gettinger;
(vii) Robert George Kincaid;
(viii) Georges Marciano;
(ix) Carol Pulliam; and
(x) Felice Reyes;
(5) The actions taken by the California Judiciary against victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power (as exemplified herein by actions taken against Richard Isaac Fine) violated Article 1, Sections 1, 2, 3, 7, 17 and 26 of the California Constitution;
(6) The actions taken by the California Judiciary against victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power (as exemplified herein by actions taken against Richard Isaac Fine) violated:
(a) United States Constitution, Fourteenth Amendment, denial of due process and equal protection; Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, 18 (1958)-“No state legislator or executive or judicial officer can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it.” (Emphasis added.);
(b) California Constitution, Article 4, Section 18 (b) “misconduct in office” by engaging in conduct which punished lawyers for following their oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and the State of California; and
(c) California Constitution, Article 6, Section 14 – “Decisions of the Supreme Court and courts of appeal that determine causes shall be in writing with reasons stated.” by deciding motions affecting the jurisdiction of the court without reasons stated;
(7) The individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power cannot obtain relief from the actions taken against them by the California Judiciary as no relief is available under either California or federal law due to either:
(a) lack of jurisdiction;
(b) absolute judicial immunity;
(c) the Eleventh Amendment; and/or
(d) bias of the judiciary;
(8) The only relief available to the individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power is through action of the Legislature and the Governor by amending SBX 2 11;
(9) The emergency nature of this problem requiring immediate passage of this legislation and
(10) It is imperative the Legislature and the Governor uphold the United States and California Constitutions, the integrity of the judicial system and underscore the commitment to never allow those who pursue the goals of such ever be punished for such pursuit.

Section 1346 to continue unabated with those judicial officers and allowing both state and federal criminal actions to be brought against any subsequently appointed or elected judicial officers receiving “supplemental or local judicial benefits” from counties or courts. “
VI. An Immediate Method to Enact the Fine Legislation by “Floor Amendment”.
A copy of the Fine Legislation was emailed to the personal emails of all 40 current California State Senators and 80 California State Assembly Members requesting their sponsorship of the Fine Legislation.
This was followed by phone calls to the offices of those State Senators and State Assembly Members who responded to the emails requesting an email to their general office email.
Additionally, personal contact was made with certain legislators prior to the mass email contact.
The emails showed each recipient how they could use the method of a “Floor Amendment” to amend a present Assembly Bill 2960 entitled “Judiciary Omnibus”, which encompassed the subject matter of the Fine Legislation and immediately pass the Fine Legislation to Governor Newsom for his signature.
Using this recognized method, the Fine Legislation would be enacted during the 2022 Legislative Session ending August 31, 2022 and prior to the November General Election when all 80 State Assembly Member positions are open for election and 20 of the 40 State Senator positions are open for election.
The Legislators did not act prior to August 31, 2022.
VII. The Voters’ Solution if the Present Post Session of the Legislature Refuses to Enact the Immediate Solution.
In the event the present post August 31, 2022 session of the Legislature or a present legislator refuses to enact or vote for the Fine Legislation, the Voters’ Solution is as follows:
(1) Refuse to donate to, and suggest all others to refuse to donate to, the election campaign of any incumbent State Legislator who refused to sponsor or vote for the Fine Legislation;
(2) Request all non-incumbent candidates for any Legislative position sign a written pledge, if elected they will sponsor, vote for and pass the Fine Legislation;
(3) approach all individual donors to campaigns to do the same and encourage their friends and associates to do the same; and
(4) contact all PACs and institutional donors and request they also so the same.
Conclusion
At present, California has a $97.5 billion budget surplus, the largest in California history. Yet the Legislature has refused to compensate the victims of Judicial Misconduct and Judicial Abuse of Power.
The judiciary is the third institution of government and directly affects each of our freedoms and rights.
We, individually and as a society cannot survive if it the institution of the Judiciary and/or its individual members remain corrupt.

Dear representative: California has the most corrupt judicial system in the nation. At present, approximately 90% of the California Superior Court judges receive the illegal payments from counties or courts, and most of the higher court justices received such when they were Superior Court judges.
I demand YOU sponsor and support the Dr. Richard I. Fine Bill “Amending SBX2 11 and Related Government Code Sections; Establishing a State of California Commission on Judicial Oversight and Victims Compensation for Judicial Misconduct and Judicial Abuse of Power”. Passing the “Fine Bill” solves the “Corruption Problem”.
The reason is: In 2010, the Court held the Legislature was responsible to permanently resolve the problem created by the enactment of SBX 2 11. The Court held SBX 2 11 was interim legislation. SBX 2 11 was enacted in response to the Court holding “supplemental or local judicial benefits” paid to California State Superior Court judges by counties and/or courts was unconstitutional under California Constitution Article 6, Section 19. The payments were and under SBX 2 11 also are criminal under California and federal law. A 2009 Judicial Council Report to the Legislature showed as of 2008, 90% of the California Superior Court judges received the illegal payments.

Dear representative: California has the most corrupt judicial system in the nation. At present, approximately 90% of the California Superior Court judges receive the illegal payments from counties or courts, and most of the higher court justices received such when they were Superior Court judges.
I demand YOU sponsor and support the Dr. Richard I. Fine Bill “Amending SBX2 11 and Related Government Code Sections; Establishing a State of California Commission on Judicial Oversight and Victims Compensation for Judicial Misconduct and Judicial Abuse of Power”. Passing the “Fine Bill” solves the “Corruption Problem”.
The reason is: In 2010, the Court held the Legislature was responsible to permanently resolve the problem created by the enactment of SBX 2 11. The Court held SBX 2 11 was interim legislation. SBX 2 11 was enacted in response to the Court holding “supplemental or local judicial benefits” paid to California State Superior Court judges by counties and/or courts was unconstitutional under California Constitution Article 6, Section 19. The payments were and under SBX 2 11 also are criminal under California and federal law. A 2009 Judicial Council Report to the Legislature showed as of 2008, 90% of the California Superior Court judges received the illegal payments.

California’s 2022 State Assemblymember’s Personal Emails
Priority Restitution means you’ll be at the top of the list to have your case submitted for restitution for the abuses and violations against you which Amend SBX 2 11 addresses by taking the courts out of the solution. By taking the time to strongly suggest to you state representative to support and pass Amend SBX 2 11 means it has that much more of a chance to be passed and help thousand perhaps millions of victims. Which then can also be used in all the other US states with minor alterations. In fact the bill was written with this concept in mind.

YES if you’ve been victimized by a California Judge.
2. Does this apply to victims going back how many years? To the mid 1980’s
3. Besides restitution for my abuse what else does the Bill do to stop Judicial abuse?
A Commission is established to oversee the judiciary
4. What will stop the deep corruption from using the court system once again to ignore the bill or change it once implemented? The Commission functions to stop all judicial corruption

STOP CALIFORNIA’S JUDICIAL CORRUPTION; TELL YOUR LEGISLATOR TO SPONSOR AND VOTE FOR THIS EMERGENCY LEGISLATION
I believe this is the first legislation to create an independent commission to oversee a state’s judiciary and directly compensate the victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power.
These things need to be done quickly, before the new budget is approved. This is emergency legislation to amend SBX 2 11 which was a Budget Trailer bill. For this reason it can be passed quickly. SBX 2 11 was passed in three days and signed by Governor Schwarzenegger.
THIS IS WHAT A CORRUPT JUDICIAL SYSTEM DOES TO THE LAWYER WHO EXPOSES THEIR JUDGES’ CORRUPTION

This is a bill designed and written by Richard I. Fine an American lawyer and patriot who spent 18 month in jail due to exposing all of the Los Angeles Superior Court judges, ninety (90) percent of Superior Court judges in the State receive the unlawful payments as shown by a Judicial Council Report sent to the Legislature in In 2009, and not updated. Additionally most of the justices on the California Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court received the unlawful payments when they were Superior Court judges. What did California Judges do? They disbarred him, proof that the California judiciary is dishonest and controlled by illegal money paid by counties and courts.
Richard I. Fine, Doctor of law, Ph.D. (Law-International Law) Stood up to California Superior court Judge David P. Yaffe who admitted to taking over $800,000.00 in illegal payments from Los Angeles County while being the judge in a case where Los Angeles county was a party, and other California Superior court judges who took illegal payments from the Los Angeles County while being the judge i a case where Los Angeles County was a party exposing their corruption
The legislation establishes a state commission to oversee the judiciary and compensate the victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power. The compensation is paid at preset rates and cannot be lowered.
The legislation is designed for California, but can be adopted to every other state and the federal judiciary

Relevant Background
On June 3, 2021 the White House released President Biden’s Memorandum declaring Corruption to be a National Security Issue stating in relevant part:
“My Administration will lead efforts to promote good governance; bring transparency to the United States and global financial systems; prevent and combat corruption at home and abroad; and make it increasingly difficult for corrupt actors to shield their activities.” (Emphasis added.);
Compensation to victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power has, and is being denied by:
(1) the common law defense of absolute judicial immunity protecting State and federal judges and those working directly for State and federal judges;
(2) the common law defense of qualified immunity protecting political entities and those working for political entities;
(3) legislation such as SBX 2 11 which does not mention victims, categories of victims or individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power, but specifically adopting and advocating for protection of:
(a) State judges receiving “supplemental or local judicial benefits” paid by counties and courts in addition to the State judges’ State compensation; and
(b) executive actors such as counties and their employees and court actors who paid State judges “supplemental or local judicial benefits”; and
(4) the failure to impose term limits on total judicial service thereby institutionalizing unlawful conduct such as payments to judges or justices from parties appearing or likely to appear before them, defined in California and United States laws as “bribes”.
This legislation: (1) ends the systemic emergency judicial crisis created by the payment of “supplemental or local judicial benefits” since 1985 by counties and courts; (2) rectifies the problems of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power in the judicial system;(3)institutes oversight measures to prevent such from recurring by establishing a State of California Permanent Commission for Judicial Oversight and Victim Compensation for Judicial Misconduct and Judicial Abuse of Power; and (4) establishes a thirty six (36) year term limit for every judge and justice irrespective of the number of judicial offices held.
This legislation:
ends the systemic emergency judicial crisis created by the payment of “supplemental or local judicial benefits” since 1985 by counties and courts;
equalizes judicial compensation to all California Superior Court judges removing:
the disparity in compensation among them;
the unconstitutionality, unlawfulness and state and federal criminality caused by “supplemental or local judicial benefit payments” by counties and courts; and
the double taxation upon the county residents making the payments;
establishes an administrative procedure outside the court system using simple forms with recognized categories of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power based upon this legislation, to compensate individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power with predetermined dollar amounts to be paid directly to the individual victims by the California State Controller; and
reforms the judicial system by removing the unlawful aspects made into temporary law by SBX 2 11 as follows:
(a) amending SBX 2 11, by repealing Section 2 (which added Section 68220 to the Government Code), Section 3 (which added Section 68221 to the Government Code), and Section 4 (which added Section 68222 to the Government Code);
(b) repealing Sections 68220, 68221 and 68222 of the Government Code;
(c) amending SBX 2 11 by adding Section 8 which establishes payments to be made by the State Controller from:
(i) forms derived from this legislation;
(ii) from the annual funds budgeted to the California State Court System and the Judiciary to the individual victims of the unlawful payments to:
(aa) to California State Superior Court judges by counties and courts; and
(bb) California Supreme Court and California Court of Appeal Justices, who received such while they were California State Superior Court judges;
(d) amending SBX 2 11 by adding Section 9 which establishes payments to individual victims of:
(i) judicial officers (Commissioners, Temporary Judges, Superior Court Judges, Court of Appeal Justices and State Supreme Court Justices):
(aa) who entered orders and judgments after deemed to have consented to their disqualification under CCP Section 170.3(c)(4);
(bb) who were disqualified under CCP Section 170.1 or 170.6; or
(cc) who failed to disclose information required under Code of Judicial Ethics, Canon 3E(2) and failed to disqualify themselves under Canon 3E(1); and
(ii) associated entities such as the State Bar of California:
which engaged in biased investigations, false charges, and false Cease and Desist Notices through its Office of the Chief Trial Counsel; and
(bb) which rendered biased orders and judgments through its State Bar Court;
(e) amending SBX 2 11 by adding Section 10 which establishes, among other things, the Commission, the composition of the Commission, the duties of the Commission, and the payments to be made to the individuals claiming from January 1, 1985 onwards as victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power in Sections 8 and 9 by the California State Controller each year commencing from the effective date of this legislation from monies annually allocated to the Judicial Branch of the California State Government with a minimum of $100 million per year annually allocated to the Commission, both to be diverted through the California State Controller to administer the program and compensate the victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power from monies annually allocated to the Judicial Branch of the California State Government as follows:
(i) $1 million tax free per year for each year for defamation (including libel) caused by judicial misconduct or judicial abuse of power which existed or continues to exist;

(bb) forty percent (40%) of damages alleged or shown in any case settled prior to trial; and

Section 1346 to continue unabated with those judicial officers and any subsequently appointed or elected judicial officers receiving “supplemental or local judicial benefits” from counties or courts.
Fiscal Effect: The Judicial Branch budget is approximately 1% of the State General Fund. In terms of the State General Fund, and the $97.5 Billion Fiscal 2022 surplus, the largest in California history, now is the time to implement this equalization of State judicial compensation and compensation to the individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT EMERGENCY LEGISLATION AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
This legislation addresses and responds:
to the systemic judicial crisis in California existing since approximately 1985 when individual counties and courts commenced paying State Superior Court judges sitting on State Superior Courts for their counties “supplemental or local judicial benefits” in addition to the State compensation (salary and benefits) paid to the judges by the State causing disparity in judges judicial salary and benefits, double taxation for citizens and residents in the “paying counties”, “unconstitutional (unlawful) ‘supplemental local judicial benefit payments’ ” to the judges resulting in 90% of California’s Superior Court judges receiving “bribes” under California and federal criminal laws;
to President Biden’s June 3, 2021 Memorandum declaring Corruption to be a National Security Issue stating in relevant part:
“My Administration will lead efforts to promote good governance; bring transparency to the United States and global financial systems; prevent and combat corruption at home and abroad; and make it increasingly difficult for corrupt actors to shield their activities.” (Emphasis added.); and
to the problem of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power in the judicial system by:
(a) equalizing judicial compensation to all California Superior Court judges;
(b) establishing a “compensation of victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power in the Judicial system” procedure outside the California Judicial system with predetermined dollar amounts to be paid directly to the individual “victims” by the State Controller; and
(c) establishing an administrative procedure outside the California Judicial system to rectify judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power and institute oversight to prevent it from continuing or is reduced;
to the failure of SBX 2 11 to establish any means of compensation to the individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power in the California Judicial system:
(a) while giving the perpetrators of unconstitutional payments to judges and the judges who received such payments in SBX 2 11, Section 5 retroactive immunity from civil liability, criminal prosecution and disciplinary action for all acts occurring prior to July 1, 2008;
(b) to the failure of SBX 2 11 to establish any means of compensation to the individual victims of judicial misconduct and abuse of power while allowing the “illegal payments” in Section 2;
(c) to the failure of SBX 2 11 to establish any means of compensation to the individual victims of “judicial officers” (including but not limited to temporary judges, commissioners, Superior Court judges, Court of Appeal justices and/or Supreme Court justices:
(i) who entered orders and judgments after deemed to have consented to their disqualification under CCP Section 170.3(c)(4);
(ii) who were disqualified under CCP Section 170.1 or 170.6; or
(iii) who failed to disclose information required under Code of Judicial Ethics, Canon 3E(2) and failed to disqualify themselves under Canon 3E(1);
(d) to the unlawful acts as exemplified by the egregious, examples of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power upon the following individuals:
(i) Richard Lee Abrams;
(ii) Stanley Atkinson;
(iii) Stephan Brooks:
(iv) Ryan Clifford:
(v) Richard Isaac Fine:
(vi) Gertrude Gettinger;
(vii) Robert George Kincaid;
(viii) Georges Marciano;
(ix) Carol Pulliam; and
(x) Felice Reyes;
The actions taken by the California Judiciary against victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power (as exemplified herein by actions taken against Richard Isaac Fine) violated Article 1, Sections 1, 2, 3, 7, 17 and 26 of the California Constitution;
The actions taken by the California Judiciary against victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power (as exemplified herein by actions taken against Richard Isaac Fine) violated:
United States Constitution, Fourteenth Amendment, denial of due process and equal protection; Cooper v. Aaron, 358 U.S. 1, 18 (1958)-“No state legislator or executive or judicial officer can war against the Constitution without violating his undertaking to support it.” (Emphasis added.);
California Constitution, Article 4, Section 18 (b) “misconduct in office” by engaging in conduct which punished lawyers for following their oath to uphold the Constitution and laws of the United States and the State of California; and
(c) California Constitution, Article 6, Section 14 – “Decisions of the Supreme Court and courts of appeal that determine causes shall be in writing with reasons stated.” by deciding motions affecting the jurisdiction of the court without reasons stated;
The individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power cannot obtain relief from the actions taken against them by the California Judiciary as no relief is available under either California or federal law due to either:
(a) lack of jurisdiction;
(b) absolute judicial immunity;
(c) the Eleventh Amendment; and/or
(d) bias of the judiciary;
The only relief available to the individual victims of judicial misconduct and judicial abuse of power is through action of the Legislature and the Governor by amending SBX 2 11;
The emergency nature of this problem requiring immediate passage of this legislation and
It is imperative the Legislature and the Governor uphold the United States and California Constitutions, the integrity of the judicial system and underscore the commitment to never allow those who pursue the goals of such ever be punished for such pursuit.

(i) the retaliation of the Los Angeles Superior Court judges and court commissioners who filed false charges against Richard Isaac Fine State Bar Number 055259 on two occasions and admitted to the Public Information Officer of the Los Angeles Superior Court:
(aa) a “visceral hatred against Fine”;
(bb) a “seeking of revenge against Fine”;
(cc) a “want to silence Fine”; and
(dd) a “want to take Fine out of communication” amongst other things “for his keeping the issue of county payments to the judges before the courts and the legislature”;
(ii) the errors of the California Supreme Court which institutionalized such retaliation;
(iii) the unlawful acts of the California Supreme Court which included:
(aa) the refusal to overturn the October 17, 2007 Involuntary Enrollment of Richard Isaac Fine by the State Bar Court;
(bb) unlawfully disbarring Richard Isaac Fine State Bar Number 055259 effective March 13, 2009 while knowing such disbarment was a sham and a “fraud upon the court”; and
(cc) denying without reason stated, six motions to Set Aside as Null and Void Ab Initio the October 17, 2007 State Bar Court Order of Involuntary Inactive and March 13, 2009 Disbarment by the California Supreme Court of Richard Isaac Fine which were not opposed by the State Bar of California and “may be deemed a consent to the granting of the motion” under California Rule of Court 8.54(c) [Denials were: 3/25/2009, 1/18/2012, 2/13/2013, 6/19/2013, 6/14/2017 and the last denial being October 11, 2018]; and
(iv) the January 13, 2022 Cease and Desist Notice issued by Kerri Riley of the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel of the State Bar of California (Notice) which violated:
(aa) the public position of the State Bar of California that the October 17, 2007 State Bar Court Order of Involuntary Enrollment and the March 13, 2009 Disbarment by the California Supreme Court of Richard Isaac Fine were Frauds Upon the Court as shown by its public opposition to the order to show cause in the case of Richard I. Fine v. State Bar of California Et Al.in which it stated Richard I. Fine was disbarred because of his opposition to SBX 2 11 and the California State Bar’s public non-opposition to Richard I. Fine’s six motions to set aside the October 17, 2007 State Bar Court Order of Involuntary Enrollment and March 13, 2009 California Supreme Court Disbarment for Fraud Upon the Court;
(bb) 42 U.S.C. Section 1985, Section 2 (a federal civil rights statute) and 42 U.S.C. Section 1503 (a criminal obstruction of a federal trial statute). The Notice was meant to, and does, threaten and impede Richard Isaac Fine’s ability to be a witness for Russell Randall in the case of Xeriant, Inc. v. Russell Randall; and Russell Randall v. Xeriant, Inc. currently pending in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Florida.
The Notice referenced as a first basis for the Notice, a complaint by William Igbokwe, a New York attorney not qualified in California, attorney for Xeriant, Inc., a public corporation, incorporated in Nevada, with its principal place of business in Florida, not qualified to do business in California.
Xeriant’s attorney William Igbokwe alleged that Richard Isaac Fine was practicing law in the State of California without a California Bar license when engaging in long distance four person phone conversations and emails with Xeriant’s attorney William Igbokwe in New York, an Xeriant Board of Director member in Texas and Russell Randall in Florida, discussing when Xeriant was going to issue the preferred shares of Xeriant, Inc. Russell Randall had assigned to Richard Isaac Fine, for Strategic Consulting relating to Xeriant’s business decisions to reduce Russell Randall’s share of the company and not pay him for his patent of a vertical takeoff and landing electrical aircraft patent design he contributed to the company in exchange for such shares and Xeriant’s alternative suggestions to such issuance.
Igbokwe’s “Linked In” page states he was the “President and General Counsel of Covenant Group Beverly Hills, Aug 2017-Jan 2019 1yr 6mos”. A California Bar search of lawyers showed William Igbokwe is not, and never was, qualified to practice law in California. As General Counsel of Covenant Group Beverly Hills William Igbokwe was practicing law in California without a license.
William Igbokwe’s complaint implied that he was practicing law without a license in California by claiming that the phone call was under California’s jurisdiction, as he was the only person who did not have a personal financial interest in the subject matter of the phone call.
During such conversations and emails, Xeriant Inc.’s attorney William Igbokwe and a Director concealed that Xeriant’s Directors had unlawfully cancelled Russell Randall’s preferred shares in Xeriant, Inc., and refused to re-assign the patent and intellectual property for the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft and drone known as the “Halo” which was the subject for which the preferred shares in Xeriant, Inc., were issued to Russell Randall who assigned a portion to Richard Isaac Fine as his Strategic Consultant.
On January 13, 2022 when Kerri Riley of the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel of the State Bar of California issued its Cease and Desist Notice, the lawsuit was public for over five months, a counterclaim by Russell Randall was public over two months and Kerri Riley and the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel of the State Bar of California were aware that she and it were conspiring, and/or acting in concert, with Xeriant, Inc., its attorney William Ogbokwe and its Director to violate 42 U.S.C. Section 1985, Section 2, and 42 U.S.C. Section 1503;
(cc) the Office of the Chief Trial Counsel gave a second reason for the Notice which was the reference in Dr. Richard I. Fine’s personal biography on the website for Richard I. Fine & Associates Strategic Consulting & Mediation that “He [Richard I. Fine] is the principal of Richard I.

(c) Libel: $10 million tax free for Judge Stratton’s libeling Carol Pulliam by changing a judgment in the case in which Carol Pulliam prevailed and was awarded $2,300.00 to appear as if Carol Pulliam lost the case; and
(d) voiding and annulling the judgment in the case signed by Judge Stratton making it appear as if Carol Pulliam lost the case;
(18) amending SBX 2 11 by adding Section 22 to rectify the bias against Carol Pulliam as a representative of the various categories to be immediately paid by the California State Controller tax free from funds allocated to the State Courts and State Judiciary based upon California Superior Court Judge Elaine Lu (Judge Lu) not disqualifying herself as required by CCP Section 170.1(a)(6)(A)(iii) and/or Code of Judicial Ethics, Canon 3E(1) and (2) during the case of Carol Pulliam v. USC Verdugo Hills Hospital, when Judge Lu became aware that her friend Beong-Soo Kim had applied for, was being considered, and would likely receive the position of General Counsel of USC prior to the beginning of the trial.
Beong-Soo Kim obtained the position two months after the trial ended but during the time of post-trial motions. Judge Lu did not recuse herself until two months after Beong-Soo Kim and USC announced had obtained the position. Judge Lu was ruling on the case during the time that she was aware of Beong-Soo Kim’s “relationship” with defendant USC.
The case was rife with racial overtones as USC terminated Carol Pulliam, the only black nurse at the USC Verdugo Hospital for her refusal to sign a “blank incident report” as a “black nurse” to be used against a Chinese/Japanese nurse who USC Verdugo Hospital wanted to terminate due to her Complaints about racial discrimination by the “Filipino” nurses who control the nursing staff at USC Verdugo Hospital and are a majority of the nurses there.
USC Verdugo Hospital was promoting racial tensions between the various races in the nursing staff by “pitting one race against another” so that USC Verdugo Hospital could claim any racial tensions occurred within the races of the nursing staff and not due to USC Verdugo Hospital’s policies of controlling the nursing staff through “racial dissention”, thereby relieving USC Verdugo Hospital of any blame for the firing.
When Carol Pulliam refused to be a part of USC Verdugo Hospital’s scheme, USC Verdugo Hospital terminated and “blacklisted” her in retaliation supporting:

(19) amending SBX 2 11 by adding Section 23 to rectify the bias against Felice Reyes as a representative of the various categories to be immediately paid by the California State Controller tax free from funds allocated to the State Courts and State Judiciary based upon California Superior Court Judge Lawrence P. Riff not disqualifying himself as required by CCP Section 170.1(a)(6)(A)(iii) and/or Code of Judicial Ethics, Canon 3E(1) and (2) during the divorce case of David Reyes v. Felice Reyes, in which David Reyes originally stated an investment was community property, later stated it was his separate property, but could not produce the front and back of the check to prove it was his separate property in an investment which rose from $500.00 to approximately $1 billion at the time Judge Riff was assigned to the case.
A settlement had been made for $20 million before a private judge who was later disqualified for not disclosing a case with opposing counsel. Felice Reyes, who was Self Represented moved to set aside the Settlement based upon Fraud upon the Court.
Judge Riff, who was recently assigned to the case immediately demonstrated bias against Felice Reyes, who then filed and properly served a Disqualification against Judge Riff on his Clerk in his open courtroom as allowed by statute.
Judge Riff did not respond within the ten day mandatory response period to the Disqualification and was deemed to have consented to the Disqualification under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 170.3(c)(4).
Judge Riff did not remove himself from the case and sanctioned Felice approximately $400,000.00 by granting a motion by David’s attorney.
Approximately a month after being served, Judge Riff claimed he was not in the courthouse when the Disqualification was properly served on his Clerk, and “ordered the Disqualification stricken”. Judge Riff argued in filed documents he was not in the Courthouse at the time the Disqualification was served in his open courtroom.

Bogdanoff not disqualifying themselves as required by CCP Section 170.1(a)(6)(A)(iii) and/or Code of Judicial Ethics, Canon 3E(1) and (2) during the case of Gettinger, Gertude-Conseratorship in which her daughter Sylvia Schmidt who had not seen her for many years became her Temporary Conservator in an uncontested trial by not serving her brother Robert Gettinger (later to enter the case as an “objector” to represent the interests of Gertrude Gettinger (Gertrude) which were not being represented by her later court appointed counsel). Sylvia Schmidt was subsequently also appointed Guardian of Gertrude. Sylvia Schmidt proceeded to: (1) sell an apartment building which was the main income of Gertrude; (2) sell Gertrude’s condo which was in the process of a 1031 exchange thereby causing a huge tax liability; (3) take over Gertrude’s bank accounts and not report missing accounts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars; (4) move Gertrude out of her home and forcing her into a forced locked Dementia facility with Dementia medications, despite doctor’s

(21) establishing an administrative procedure outside the court system to ensure judicial misconduct and abuse of power does not continue or is reduced as follows:
amending SBX 2 11 by adding Section 25 requiring the California Controller to report all Judicial Officers who were reported by victims of judicial misconduct or abuse of power to the Commission on Judicial Performance on a monthly and annual basis, annually funded under this legislation;
amending SBX 2 11 by adding Section 26 requiring the Commission on Judicial Performance to complete each investigation reported to it by the California State Controller within six months after receipt of such Report and convey semi-annual Reports the results of such investigations to the California State Auditor; and

More on Richard I. Fine and why WE ALL BENEFIT from this Legislation
This bill would provide that no governmental entity, or officer or employee of a governmental entity, shall incur any liability or be subject to prosecution or disciplinary action because of benefits provided to a judge under the official action of a governmental entity prior to the effective date of this bill on the ground that those benefits were not authorized under law.
HISTORY OF RETRO ACTIVE IMMUNITY IN THE UNITED STATES
1. given for unconstitutional use of torture
2. given for illegal merger of banks (we can see the effects of that now)
3. given to telecom company for illegal wire taps. (Fisa bill that led to the patriot act)
4. given to Judges for taking bribes. (SBX211)
SBX211 Retro Active Immunity given to California judges for openly taking bribes. Judges are employees of the State they receive their pay and benefits from the State. The Los Angeles Superior court judges are currently receiving an additional $57.688,00 from the county of Los Angeles. there is no bigger user of the court than L.A. County.(A party to the case and has a financial interest in most cases in the courts) Those payments were found to be unconstitutional / illegal in Sturgeon vs Los angeles County. After that decision the judges paid a lobbyist to pass SBX211 ( RETRO ACTIVE IMMUNITY )
SBX211 does not restore due process
SBX211 violates Article 1 section 9
SBX211 violates the 14th amendment (no equal protections)
SBX211 violate checks and balances between legislative and Judicial powers.
Judges do not disclose the county payments at the onset of any trial where the county is either a party to the case or has a financial interest. (Judges violate Judicial codes of ethics)
Judges refuse to recuse themselves when requested under CCP170
Judges find themselves unbiased and then file an order striking statement.
Not only do judges get paid a state salary of $178,789.00 a year with medical and retirement benefits up to 75% of their salary, with the county payments the Los Angeles Superior court judges are the highest paid judges in the Nation. Los Angeles County takes tax payer money and then gives the judges that money to only have the judges rule against the tax payer in favor of L.A. County or the County’s interest. THE BRIBES WORK.
