DEFENDANT #32: LINDSAY BROOKE BATTLES #262862 (The Vernon Patterson Dossier)

 

Role in People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA111132)
Lindsay Brooke Battles, a named partner at the civil rights law firm McLane, Bednarski & Litt LLP, is formally named as Defendant #32 in The Vernon Patterson Dossier for her deliberate failure to respond to or report multiple material allegations of fraud upon the court, due process violations, and unlawful judicial conduct—all detailed in emails to her firm concerning Defendant Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.

As with MBL colleagues Barry Litt, David McLane, Marilyn Bednarski, Kevin LaHue, and others, Battles was copied (CC’d) on a long, sustained stream of documented allegations and constitutional violations that implicated:

• A void PC § 730 psychiatric evaluation conducted without a court order;
• The filing of said evaluation into the wrong court by unauthorized clerks;
• Sealed Marsden hearings used to deny confrontation, legal redress, and record-making;
• Judicial misconduct by former MBL founding partner Judge Ronald Owen Kaye, including unlawful commitment to a state hospital based on defective evidence.

Despite the legal gravity and moral weight of these allegations, Battles remained silent.


Summary of Involvement
Directly Copied on Formal Complaints with Attached Evidence

Lindsay Battles received multiple emails between 2023 and 2025 that outlined in explicit detail:

• Procedural violations under California Penal Code § 1369 and § 730;
• Fraudulent use of psychiatric assessments to suspend criminal proceedings;
• Ex parte declarations of conflict of interest by state-appointed defense counsel;
• The concealed and unacknowledged conflict of interest involving Judge Kaye and MBL LLP.

These communications contained evidence that would alarm any reasonable legal professional, including:

• Inconsistent minute orders;
• Misdated filings;
• Evidence tampering by judicial staff.

Mandatory Reporter of Judicial and Legal Misconduct

As an attorney licensed under State Bar #262862, and particularly as a partner in a self-described civil rights law firm, Battles has a clear, non-discretionary duty under the California Rules of Professional Conduct to report serious ethical and constitutional violations once brought to her attention. This duty includes:

• Rule 8.3: Duty to report judicial and attorney misconduct;
• Rule 8.4(c): Prohibition against conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, or misrepresentation by omission.
• Her continued failure to even acknowledge receipt of such allegations evinces willful avoidance, institutional complicity, or both.

Institutional Conflict of Interest Through MBL’s Founding Legacy

Because Judge Ronald Owen Kaye—central to Mr. Taylor’s unlawful psychiatric commitment—is a former partner and co-founder of MBL LLP, all MBL attorneys have an inherent conflict. The ethical requirement would be to disclose, disclaim, or distance the firm from Kaye’s conduct. Instead, Battles joined her colleagues in adopting total silence, likely to shield the reputation of the firm and its judicial legacy.


Why She Is Defendant #32 in the Dossier

• Received formal notice of serious constitutional rights violations by a defendant actively being silenced and confined, yet chose no response;
• Maintains professional and institutional loyalty to a judge (Kaye) now central to judicial misconduct allegations, yet offered no disclaimer or recusal;
• Her silence aided in the continued concealment of exculpatory evidence, judicial fraud, and psychiatric coercion;
• Has taken no known steps to report or escalate the matter to judicial or legal oversight bodies, despite holding a senior leadership position at a firm publicly known for civil rights litigation.

> “What separates the righteous from the complicit is not their résumé, but their response to evil when it arrives by certified email. In the Dossier, Lindsay Battles is the proof that silence can dress itself in progressive robes and still betray the Constitution.”
