DEFENDANT #23: GRANT PARKS (The Vernon Patterson Dossier)

Role in People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA111132)
As the duly appointed California State Auditor, Grant Parks serves as the lead constitutional officer responsible for ensuring transparency, accountability, and proper functioning of state agencies, including the Judicial Council, the California State Bar, the Department of State Hospitals, and Los Angeles County public institutions. Despite multiple detailed notices, exhibits, and formal communications sent by Mr. Michael Taylor documenting systemic constitutional violations, Parks failed to respond, investigate, or even acknowledge receipt — a breach of his statutory and ethical mandate.


Summary of Involvement
The Office of the State Auditor is tasked with independent oversight over state-funded entities and public agencies suspected of waste, fraud, abuse, or violation of law. The communications Mr. Taylor directed to Grant Parks included:

Allegations of fraud upon the court through misused psychiatric evaluations;
Concealed or sealed court orders used to justify unlawful detainment;
Violations of equal protection, due process, and right to competent representation;
State institutional collusion across public defender offices, judiciary, prosecutors, and court staff;
Psychiatric commitment and forced medication carried out without proper judicial authorization.

All of these implicate auditable failures in agencies under Parks’s oversight jurisdiction. However, no case number was ever issued, no reply ever returned, and no acknowledgment ever made — not even to confirm that the complaints had been received.

This is not merely bureaucratic failure — it is a violation of the public trust, and one that mirrors the pattern of silent complicity running through every state entity named in this Dossier. By refusing to take even the most basic procedural steps required of his office, Parks aligned himself with the institutional actors who enabled Mr. Taylor’s unlawful confinement and deprivation of rights.


Why He Is Defendant #23 in the Dossier

• Possessed statutory oversight authority to audit, investigate, or refer complaints involving judicial misconduct, misuse of public resources, and constitutional violations.
• Received formal notice of grave constitutional and administrative failures, including falsified court records and unauthorized confinement — and responded with silence.
• Failed to issue complaint acknowledgment, intake confirmation, or follow-up of any kind, abandoning oversight and failing the public.
• By omitting all action, he contributed to the institutional cover-up of human rights violations under color of California law.

> “Grant Parks was appointed to shine light into the state’s darkest corners. Yet when the shadow of the court reached his desk, he turned his lamp away. In the Dossier, he is the auditor who refused to listen, and thus became what he was sworn to expose.”
