DEFENDANT #26: SYDNEY KAMLAGER-DOVE (The Vernon Patterson Dossier)

 

Role in People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA111132)
Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove, elected to represent California’s 37th District in the United States House of Representatives, was contacted directly and urgently by Defendant Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr., regarding grave and immediate constitutional violations. These included unlawful psychiatric commitment, sealed judicial misconduct, due process denials, ineffective assistance of counsel, and abuse of the Penal Code’s mental health provisions to neutralize protected constitutional speech and action.

Despite receiving detailed descriptions, substantiating exhibits, and specific legal citations—including requests for federal intervention pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, the All Writs Act (28 U.S.C. § 1651), and a temporary restraining order to halt an impending unlawful remand—Kamlager-Dove refused substantive engagement and instead issued a form-letter declination that cited lack of jurisdiction, referred the defendant to a nonprofit, and repeated boilerplate language twice in the same letter.


Summary of Involvement
Direct Receipt of Constitutional Emergency

Taylor’s written request was not a casual complaint. It was a constitutionally grounded, time-sensitive, and thoroughly documented plea—seeking federal acknowledgment, referral, and witness validation in light of imminent and ongoing rights deprivations. His request included:

• Specific statutory citations;
• Documentation of fraudulent assessments;
• Proof of a sealed court proceeding used to justify unlawful incarceration;
• A request for federal certification of a DOJ complaint for court use.

Non-Responsive Response

Kamlager-Dove’s reply failed to:

• Acknowledge the evidence submitted;
• Reference any legal basis for declining to support federal protections;
• Engage or forward the matter to appropriate federal departments (e.g., DOJ Civil Rights Division, House Judiciary Committee).

Instead, she:

• Repeated the name and phone number of a nonprofit (Bet Tzedek) twice, without verifying their scope or authority;
• Ignored the federal oversight role Congress plays in safeguarding civil rights and overseeing institutional abuse;
• Equivocated the congressional duty of casework and constituent protection with legal representation, falsely asserting lack of jurisdiction.

Failure to Discharge Federal Duty of Inquiry

Members of Congress are not expected to litigate for constituents, but they are empowered to investigate, refer, or elevate documented allegations of state-sponsored abuse. By declining to act on this request—despite its procedural completeness and evidentiary depth—Kamlager-Dove functionally ratified the violations and withheld the legitimacy her federal office could have conferred on Mr. Taylor’s claims.


Why She Is Defendant #26 in the Dossier

• Received direct notice of urgent constitutional violations supported by named evidence, procedural history, and statutory context—and failed to meaningfully respond.
• Refused to act on requests that were squarely within her jurisdiction as a federal representative, including constituent casework, civil rights inquiry, and DOJ referral.
• Substituted substantive reply with repetitive form language, despite the gravity of what was presented—signaling institutional indifference.
• Was uniquely positioned to elevate the matter to federal channels—DOJ, Civil Rights Commission, or Judiciary Committee—but chose administrative detachment over congressional oversight.

> “Congress was built for moments like this. And when the letter reached her desk, Sydney Kamlager-Dove laid it beside procedure, not principle. In the Dossier, she stands as a federal witness to truth deferred—and justice denied—by the very hands sworn to protect it.”
