"A Diversion motion would require a psychological evaluation with a doctor that I would ask the court to appoint at no cost to you. The doctor would evaluate you with specific parameters addressing the factors for diversion set forth in PC 1001.36. Once we have that evaluation, I would prepare a motion, based on the evaluation of the psychologist appointed. The court would rule on the motion. I think you have a great shot at getting mental health diversion in this case, but I cannot guarantee it with 100% certainty."

We have had several productive discussions regarding mental health diversion and that is a goal that we are actively working towards. Dr. D’Ingillo will be making contact with you to evaluate you for eligibility pursuant to Penal Code Section 1001.36. We will work on a treatment plan that will be helpful for you in three ways: the dismissal of your case, mental health treatment and the avoidance of any jail time. We are working towards resolution. I don’t want you to lose sight of that. I was under the impression after our last discussion in my office conference room and in court on Tuesday that you intended to pursue mental health diversion and so that is where I put my focus.

Mr. Taylor,
Ms. Bell advised me that your next court date is January 24, 2024. She expects to have the doctor’s report by then and to have filed the motion for mental health diversion. She remains hopeful that the judge will grant it on the next court date. She and I join in your frustration that the judge denied the request to allow you to drive. We disagree with decision but it is not uncommon for attorneys to disagree with a ruling by the judge. We must, however, abide by it. If mental health diversion is granted, your permission to drive will be restored.

Good morning, Kristoffer and Danielle. Hope you are feeling better.
Are we game planning before court on January 24th or am I gonna be steamrolled once again? I spoke to the mental health diversion doctor a couple of days ago. He's supposed to call me back some time soon to complete his assessment.
I still intend to file a police report against the alleged victim for his deliberate threats against my life. It's a fucking shame I'm not safe in my own community smh.
If I have rights to be secured and protected from fear, intimidation, and physical harm caused by the activities of violent individuals and groups then there should be a challenge to the application of charges against me. Equal protection aside, the state Legislature gives me these rights as they do for all people.
We're all Americans here. I will not be discriminated to my face while you smart stupid people act like you don't see what's going on. Like I have to explain the obvious to you. Please don't put me thru that again. Take accountability for how intelligent you truly are and spare me the bureaucratic charades. My life is on the line here and I've been the most zealous defender in my case thus far.
You will not get by thinking all you gotta do is stand in for me. I seek every bit of the zealous defense due me and I'm not tolerating any gaslighting. If you gaslight me one more time I will openly address you whenever and wherever it happens.
I know what I'm talking about because I'm the one sending you the email after the holidays. You public defenders are well in over your own heads here. You were just gonna let the court day come with predetermined decisions.
And we will need to address Ms. Bell remaining my lawyer because after she stormed out of our last meeting AND the inference that she will still be my lawyer going forward makes me feel like you guys are determined to screw me over. She will be my lawyer if I say so. But you will not make these decisions for me if my lawyer is throwing tantrums during off the record meetings it's completely unacceptable. Prepare to explain to Judge Clover how you've guys been refusing to preserve my rights on the record against my wishes since arraignment.
And to give you some transparency, I am highly skeptical of the fact that mostly all of you in the public defenders office are religious C*tholics."C*tholics are bold and blasphemous people who give themselves authority to alter the oracles of God. C*tholics changed the sabbath day and politicizes religion beyond its normal context. In basic terms, being c*tholic or merely having a catholic past tells me you can wash people up and not lose sleep over it. C*tholics think they are saved by their rituals which is why you guys think all you have to do is steamroll me and nobody really cares. You tell me the bare minimum and instead of making sure I understand, you only care that you covered your basis. C*tholicism is a wrong religion. It's based on lies deceit and falsehoods just like the charges against me who come from other C*tholics in the prosecutor's office. Yall all just a bunch of Roman C*tholics who do the devil's bidding."
If I wake up everyday fighting to make a difference when it counts in the lives of others, what level of zeal do you think I intend to provide for myself?
I still intend to pursue diversion. But, potential discrimination in the application of law against me needs to be addressed in the court and on the record! No one gets away with professional misconduct. And what else am I to think if my own lawyer storms out of our meeting because I reject the prosecutor's so-called leverage? She stormed out of that office like a prosecutor who knew they lost but couldn't accept it.
We have too much to talk about for me to be the one contacting you yet you telling me I only have 2 options smh. I reject only having two options while I qualify for every form of civil protection one could have against these discriminatory charges.

Los Angeles Superior Court
Pasadena, Dept. F

Pasadena, CA 91101
RE: TAYLOR, Michael
Case No.: GA111132
Counsel for Petitioner: The People of the State of California
Counsel for Respondent: D. Daroca, Deputy Public Defender
DOB: 01/19/1990
Date of Evaluation: 01/05/2024 and 01/18/2024
Dear Judge Clover:
Pursuant to the Minute Order dated 10/02/2024, I have evaluated Mr. Taylor for the purpose of a Penal Code (PC) 730 Competency Assessment.
Statement of Non-Confidentiality: The defendant was explained and understood
aspects of non-confidentiality inherent in this evaluation. He comprehended that a
report will be written for the Court discussing our interview.
Sources of Information: The following data was reviewed prior to telephonically
interviewing the defendant on 01/05/2024 and 01/18/2024, as he is living in Seattle,
Washington. E-mail correspondence from Ms. Daroca, Minute Order, Arrest Report and
Medical Records.
Summary of Opinion:
A. The defendant has a major mental disease, disorder, or defect.
B. The defendant is not competent (see report).
Background Information:
Per DPD Daroca, Mr. Taylor has been diagnosed with a neurological condition and during interactions with her, he has exhibited questionable reasoning and impulse control. Past attorney and client interactions have required termination because the defendant engaged emotionally explosively and insultingly towards his defense counsel.
DPD Daroca forwarded to this examiner an email message sent to her by the defendant on 01/09/2024. This occurred after the telephonic interview involving the defendant and this examiner, which took place on 01/05/2024. Mr. Taylor indicates in the email message that he is being intentionally poorly represented by defense counsel. He expands his dissatisfaction and skepticism of receiving proper legal representation to his belief that most of the deputy public defender attorneys in the Public Defender's Office are practicing Catholics. In an illogical change of topic of discussion, he describes:
"Catholics are bold and blasphemous people who give themselves authority to alter the oracles of God. Catholics changed the sabbath day and politicizes religion beyond its normal context. In basic terms, being catholic or merely having a catholic past tells me you can waste people up and not lose sleep over it. Catholics think they are saved by their rituals which is why you guys think all you have to do is brainroll me and nobody really cares. You tell me the bare minimum and instead of making sure I understand, you only care that you covered your basis. Catholicism is a strong religion. It is based on lies deceit and falsehood. just like the charges against me who come from other catholics in the prosecutor's office. Yall all just a bunch of Roman Catholics who do the devil's bidding."
The defendant is currently charged with:
-Attempted Murder
Summary of Arrest Report
On 11/16/2021, police officers responded to a call of a person being dragged by a car and the vehicle involved had left the scene. The male victim sustained major injuries and was transported to the hospital. According to a witness, the driver was parking his car in a parking lot and struck the side of another parked car. The driver tried leaving the scene, but was confronted by one of the occupants of the car that had been struck. The driver repeatedly refused to remain on scene and the man from the car that had been struck tried various methods to prevent him from leaving. The driver reportedly struck the man and caused him injuries. The car of the defendant was later found empty near the location of the incident and the defendant was also identified, and ultimately detained for questioning.

Good evening.
Thank you for your help in court yesterday. I've done some additional research and have found that while diverting a client away from prison time can be beneficial, it should not come at the expense of ignoring or failing to address violations of their constitutional rights. If a public defender allows their client's constitutional rights to be violated without addressing it on the record, it could be considered ineffective counsel. It's the duty of defense counsel to advocate for their client's rights and ensure due process is followed throughout the legal proceedings.
I can't seem to get around the fact that the charges against me only have life because discrimination by race has not been raised at any point in these proceedings. Furthermore, the transfer to mental health court seems to have been a predetermined decision that does not address my constitutional rights regarding the application of law against me. Something that should have been raised at preliminary AND or pretrial stages.
A refusal to preserve these rights poses a direct threat to due process and its just not adding up because while public defenders may have a way of doing things, you are still obligated to defend the constitutional rights of defendants. To refuse to defend these rights gives prosecutors right of way to charge people of their districts with prejudice. To refuse to assert these rights says that you essentially agree with the charges. You have a duty to protect people from these unlawful abuses of power by your BAR colleagues. These are not lawful practices. It just has not been exposed because you guys specialize in diverting attention idk.
I want to encourage you to research the case law examples I emailed over because if I'm truly a responsible person then I'm going to want things done right. Same goes for you.
‼️ Also, I'd like a copy of the report by the doctor that recommends the transfer to mental health court please. I just want to understand my case so I can defend myself the best way possible.
I just need you guys to know that not defending my constitutional rights is not really an option unless you are denying me due process, which you have no duty or obligation to do. So, I'm asking you to do right by me. After all, you guys are kind of the reason why I'm still in this sticky situation when I've had a clear way out this entire time! Perhaps ineffective assistance of counsel has long been in effect in my case. I have every reason to believe it and I don't appreciate you guys constantly playing me like I'm not understanding how this is all playing out.
My constitutional rights MUST be defended on the record before this case can proceed and will need to be brought to the judge's attention as soon as possible.

I am not supposed to be fighting with my public defenders to uphold my rights while facing criminal charges.
They cannot file a psych evaluation on me in retaliation for asserting my constitutional rights.
The public defenders office cannot just declare an invalid conflict of interest in two courts at the same time while not letting me know the reason or nature of the reason.
I implore the LA County board of supervisors to investigate this issue.

Subject: [External]RE: Prosecutorial Discretion Does Not Give Prosecutors The Authority To Charge People Based On Their Race + Police Departments Intentionally Omitting Details or Manipulating Evidence To Protect The Racial Demographics of a Particular Area Wou...
If a prosecutor omits critical details in police reports pertaining to the complaining witness's direct participation in the incident in question, does this undermine the defendant's constitutional rights?
If a prosecutor omits critical details in police reports pertaining to the complaining witness's direct participation in the incident in question, it could potentially undermine the defendant's constitutional rights. Specifically, it could violate the defendant's rights to due process and a fair trial under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution.
The prosecution has a legal obligation to disclose any evidence that is favorable to the defendant and material to the case, including evidence that may impeach the credibility of prosecution witnesses. If the prosecution fails to disclose such evidence, it could deprive the defendant of the opportunity to mount an effective defense, potentially violating their constitutional rights.
In cases where critical details are omitted from police reports, the defense may argue that this constitutes a violation of the defendant's rights to due process and a fair trial. The defense may seek remedies such as disclosure of the omitted evidence, suppression of evidence obtained as a result of the omission, or even dismissal of the case if the omission is deemed to be particularly egregious and prejudicial to the defendant's case. Ultimately, whether the omission of critical details undermines the defendant's constitutional rights would depend on the specific circumstances of the case and the applicable legal standards.
What if those critical details are omitted to protect the racial interests of the complaining witness?
If critical details are omitted from police reports to protect the racial interests of the complaining witness, it could significantly undermine the defendant's constitutional rights and potentially lead to a violation of their right to a fair trial.
The Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law, prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race. If the prosecution or law enforcement agencies intentionally omit critical details from police reports to protect the racial interests of a complaining witness, it could constitute a violation of the defendant's right to equal protection.
Furthermore, the omission of such critical details could also impede the defendant's ability to mount an effective defense. By withholding evidence that may be favorable to the defendant or undermine the credibility of the complaining witness, the prosecution could deprive the defendant of a fair trial and due process of law.
In such cases, the defense may argue that the omission of critical details based on racial considerations constitutes prosecutorial misconduct or a violation of the defendant's constitutional rights. The defense may seek remedies such as disclosure of the omitted evidence, suppression of evidence obtained as a result of the omission, or even dismissal of the case if the omission is deemed to have irreparably prejudiced the defendant's case.
Ultimately, the deliberate omission of critical details to protect the racial interests of a complaining witness is a serious matter that could have far-reaching legal implications and should be addressed through appropriate legal channels.
If a defendant's car was unlawfully sold by law enforcement without notice while it was evidence in the case, is it a violation of due process if the defendant is denied the ability or opportunity to challenge it in court on the record even during pretrial?
Yes, if a defendant's car was unlawfully sold by law enforcement without notice while it was evidence in the case, and the defendant is denied the ability or opportunity to challenge it in court, even during pretrial proceedings, it would likely constitute a violation of due process.
Due process requires that individuals be afforded fair treatment under the law, including the opportunity to challenge evidence presented against them and to be heard in court. If evidence crucial to the defendant's case, such as their car, is unlawfully sold without notice or opportunity for the defendant to challenge it, their ability to mount a defense is severely compromised.
In such a situation, the defendant should have the opportunity to raise objections, present evidence, and seek appropriate remedies in court. This may include filing motions to suppress evidence, seeking dismissal of charges, or requesting other relief to address the violation of their due process rights.
Denying the defendant the ability to challenge the sale of their car in court not only undermines their ability to present a defense but also violates their fundamental right to due process of law. It is essential for the court to ensure that defendants are provided with a fair and just legal process, which includes the opportunity to challenge evidence and assertions made against them.
What if the Unlawful sale of the car directly prevents the defendant from examining fingerprints of his passenger side door to corroborate video evidence of the complaining witness directly partipating in the crime in question compromising the defendant's equal protection claim?
If the unlawful sale of the car directly prevents the defendant from examining fingerprints of his passenger side door to corroborate video evidence of the complaining witness directly participating in the crime in question, it could significantly compromise the defendant's equal protection claim and constitute a violation of their constitutional rights.
The unlawful sale of the car, in this case, not only undermines the defendant's ability to present evidence crucial to their defense but also impacts their right to equal protection under the law. By depriving the defendant of the opportunity to examine potential evidence that could support their defense and challenge the prosecution's case, the unlawful sale disproportionately disadvantages the defendant and undermines their right to a fair trial.
Under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, individuals are entitled to equal treatment under the law, and discriminatory actions or policies that disproportionately harm certain individuals based on protected characteristics, such as race or ethnicity, are prohibited.
In this scenario, if the unlawful sale of the car disproportionately impacts the defendant's ability to defend themselves and results in unequal treatment before the law, it could form the basis for an equal protection claim. The defendant may argue that the actions of law enforcement in selling the car without notice or opportunity to examine potential evidence constitute discriminatory treatment that violates their constitutional rights.
To address such a violation, the defendant may need to raise the issue with their attorney and take appropriate legal action, such as filing motions to suppress evidence, seeking dismissal of charges, or requesting other remedies to address the violation of their constitutional rights and ensure a fair and impartial legal process.
Does prosecutorial discretion give prosecutors authority to charge people based on their race?
No, prosecutorial discretion does not give prosecutors the authority to charge people based on their race. Prosecutorial discretion refers to the power of prosecutors to decide whether to pursue criminal charges, what charges to file, and how aggressively to prosecute a case based on factors such as the strength of the evidence, the seriousness of the offense, and the interests of justice.
Charging individuals based on their race would be a clear violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of race or ethnicity. Prosecutors are bound by constitutional and statutory requirements to apply the law impartially and without regard to race or other protected characteristics.
Prosecutorial discretion is intended to be exercised in a manner that promotes fairness, justice, and the public interest. Charging decisions should be based on the facts and evidence of the case, not on the race or ethnicity of the defendant. Any actions by prosecutors that involve discriminatory treatment based on race would be illegal and subject to legal challenge.
In summary, prosecutorial discretion does not authorize prosecutors to charge individuals based on their race, and doing so would be a violation of constitutional rights and principles of fairness and equality under the law.
No, it would be unlawful and unethical for an arresting police department to omit details pertaining to a complaining witness's participation in a crime as revealed in video evidence to protect the racial demographics of the regional area they work.
Police departments have a duty to uphold the law impartially and without regard to race or any other protected characteristic. Intentionally omitting details or manipulating evidence to protect the racial demographics of a particular area would constitute misconduct and a violation of the rights of both the defendant and the broader principles of justice and fairness.
Law enforcement agencies are obligated to investigate crimes thoroughly, gather all relevant evidence, and present a complete and accurate account of the facts to prosecutors and the court. Omitting details or selectively presenting evidence based on racial considerations undermines the integrity of the criminal justice system and compromises the rights of all individuals involved.
Any actions by law enforcement agencies that involve discriminatory treatment or manipulation of evidence based on race would be subject to legal challenge and could result in serious consequences for those involved, including potential civil rights violations and disciplinary action.
In summary, law enforcement agencies are not permitted to omit details or manipulate evidence based on racial considerations, and doing so would constitute a violation of their legal and ethical obligations to uphold the law impartially and without discrimination.

Good evening, Mr. Tumu.
Before we proceed, I will need to challenge the validity of the initial evaluation and remedy potential violations of my constitutional rights to due process that have been disregarded since preliminary.
Unfortunately, after being denied multiple requests to review initial report, I have still not received a copy from defense counsel to this day. My public defender used my religious beliefs & opinions to negatively influence the evaluation while omitting evidence of competence pertaining to the assertion of my constitutional rights and meritorious legal claims.
After the public defenders declared 3 consecutive conflicts of interest in my case without reason or clarification in direct response to the assertion of my constitutional rights, I have to ensure these proceedings are in my best interest. Further, my current attorney is refusing to remedy these preexisting violations of my constitutional rights as well. Please be patient with me as I find a solution to this issue.
I will follow-up with more information as soon as I have it. Thank you for understanding.

Good morning Mr. Taylor;
I think that you should meet with Dr. Tumu. He is not an expert appointed by the defense team. He is an expert appointed by the court at the request of the prosecution in your case. As I have stated to you in the past, I do not have your file as of yet. It is my understanding that I should have the file in a matter of days. I have read all of your emails and they will be addressed once I have an understanding of the issues. But let’s be clear about one thing, the court will not look favorably on your failure to meet with Dr. Tumu.
I would like to meet with you on Friday April 4, if our schedules are both free. Please let me know it that date works for you.

Thank you, Mr. Patterson. But, I don't think the court will look favorably on discovering that I've been effectively denied due process throughout these entire proceedings, a matter public defenders continue to neglect and divert attention from.
April 4th any time works for me. Due process violations must be addressed and remedied to ensure these proceedings are in my best interest. And unfortunately, public defense counsel has betrayed my goodwill and trust every single time I trust you beyond my better judgment and so I have to take the appropriate measures to ensure my interests are met.
It is not effective representation to encourage public defenders to deny their clients their constitutional rights or refuse to remedy their inefficiencies.
Thank you for understanding.

If prosecutors also have a duty to ensure the constitutional rights of defendants are upheld, I implore you to make sure this is the case please.
The public defender has outright denied me the ability to challenge evidence and address legal concerns throughout these entire proceedings. I have evidence of considerable due process violations such as the public defender declaring 3 consecutive conflicts of interest without reason in direct response to me asserting my constitutional rights. Further, they have subjected me to a psychological evaluation to avoid having to remedy violations of my constitutional rights.
I sincerely feel discriminated against and being denied a fair trial. If I'm already facing charges, why should my public defender act as an impediment to justice? Denying me the ability to challenge evidence, make legal claims, or assert constitutional rights not only prejudices my defense but denies the court the ability to assess the merits of my claims.
I'm not asking for any special treatment here. But, I am humbly requesting for equal protection of the laws. I was attacked by 2 men of another race in a zip code that favors their racial demographics which I have reason to believe motivated racial bias in the charges against me. Why does it only matter whether or not Michael Taylor committed a crime when there is evidence of omissions of criminal participation and no further investigation after detectives reviewed video evidence?
Please do the right thing and ensure I receive equal justice under the law.
Thank you

Attached is a formal report regarding the unlawful release of my property and crucial evidence in my legal defense that has been undermined and disregarded completely by Mr. Christian Le and Ms. Daroca-Bell of the Los Angeles County Public Defender's office.
This destruction of crucial evidence has heinously prejudiced my ability to corroborate constitutional legal claims supported by principle video evidence.
Glendale had knowledge, as the arresting agency, that the Defendant was in custody during the time any alleged notice was dispatched. Defendant visited vehicle's registered mailbox in Summer 2023 only to find no legal notices of any kind pertaining to the vehicle in question.
Glendale Police Department, including the Los Angeles District Attorney and the Los Angeles Public Defender had knowledge of and access to the necessary resources to ensure the defendant received notice and an opportunity to respond while in custody.
This form of suppression of evidence while public defense counsel simultaneously neglects violations of the Defendant's constitutional rights amounts to a presumption of guilt by all officers of the court who had duties and obligations to ensure the constitutional rights of defendants are upheld at every stage legal proceedings.
This constitutional rights violation is over two years old and the Defendant was never served any legal correspondences prior to today concerning the status of this crucial piece of evidence. Both Glendale Police Department and the Los Angeles County Public Defender have, whether intentionally or unintentionally, united in interest to deny Defendant Michael Taylor rights to a fair trial. The Los Angeles Public Defender still had a duty and obligation to challenge the suppression/destruction of crucial evidence, which was also their client's property, to uphold the Defendant's constitutional rights to
These reckless actions are adjacent to every other effort by the Los Angeles County Public Defender to neglect or negate legal matters and constitutional rights of defendants.
If all officers of the court are obligated to ensure the constitutional rights of defendants are upheld, then every officer of the court in this case must be held accountable for prejudicing my defense. Now, just how prejudice do you really have to be to think you still have a fair case against me?
I request for this case to be dismissed outright for the heinous disregard for my constitutional rights throughout the entirety of this case. The courts, who have reviewed police reports and video evidence, all failed and/or refused to ensure my constitutional rights were upheld at every stage of these proceedings.
These adverse actions, omissions, and constitutional neglect are a serious ethical breach of conduct by the court.

Psalm 109:1-31 KJV
[1] Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise; [2] For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. [3] They compassed me about also with words of hatred; And fought against me without a cause. [4] For my love they are my adversaries: But I give myself unto prayer. [5] And they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love. [6] Set thou a wicked man over him: And let Satan stand at his right hand. [7] When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: And let his prayer become sin. [8] Let his days be few; And let another take his office. [9] Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. [10] Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: Let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places. [11] Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; And let the strangers spoil his labour. [12] Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: Neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children. [13] Let his posterity be cut off; And in the generation following let their name be blotted out. [14] Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. [15] Let them be before the LORD continually, That he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. [16] Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart. [17] As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: As he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. [18] As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, So let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones. [19] Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, And for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually. [20] Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, And of them that speak evil against my soul. [21] But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name's sake: Because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me. [22] For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. [23] I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust. [24] My knees are weak through fasting; And my flesh faileth of fatness. [25] I became also a reproach unto them: When they looked upon me they shaked their heads. [26] Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy: [27] That they may know that this is thy hand; That thou, LORD, hast done it. [28] Let them curse, but bless thou: When they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice. [29] Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. [30] I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude. [31] For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those that condemn his soul.

Subject: [External]RE: Los Angeles County Public Defender, Los Angeles County Alternate Public Defender, and Bar Panel Attorney Prejudices Defendant's Case Through Coercion and Predetermined Neglect of All Constitutional Assertions Made by Defendant Michael Tay...
When a public defender declares a conflict of interest without providing a clear reason, it raises several concerns. Here's a breakdown of why it might be seen as suspicious:
1. **Lack of Transparency**: Transparency is crucial in legal representation. When a public defender fails to provide a reason for declaring a conflict of interest, it leaves the client in the dark about the basis of the decision. This lack of transparency can undermine trust between the client and their legal counsel.
2. **Constitutional Rights**: The assertion of constitutional rights, such as the right to effective assistance of counsel, is a fundamental aspect of the legal process. If a client is exercising their constitutional rights and the response from their attorney is a declaration of conflict of interest without explanation, it could be perceived as an attempt to deter the client from asserting their rights.
3. **Professional Responsibility**: Attorneys have a professional responsibility to act in the best interests of their clients. If a public defender is unable to represent a client due to a conflict of interest, they should provide a valid reason for it. Failing to do so could raise questions about the attorney's commitment to fulfilling their professional duties.
4. **Potential Legal Ramifications**: Depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances, a public defender's failure to adequately address a conflict of interest could have legal implications. Clients have the right to competent and conflict-free representation, and if this right is compromised, it could lead to legal challenges or appeals in the future.
The lack of clarity and transparency surrounding a public defender's declaration of a conflict of interest in response to a client's assertion of their constitutional rights can be concerning and may warrant further inquiry or consultation with another legal professional.
Yes, if the public defender claims that the judge ordered them to declare a conflict of interest without providing a valid reason, and there's no documented indication of such an order, it raises serious concerns about the legal advice provided. Here's why it could be considered poor or misleading:
1. **Accuracy of Legal Information**: Attorneys are expected to provide accurate and reliable legal advice to their clients. If a public defender claims that a judge ordered them to declare a conflict of interest without providing evidence of such an order, it undermines the credibility of the advice given.
2. **Misrepresentation**: Misrepresenting the actions or directives of a judge can have significant consequences. If the public defender falsely claims that the judge ordered them to declare a conflict of interest, it could mislead the client and potentially harm their case.
3. **Ethical Considerations**: Lawyers are bound by ethical obligations to provide competent and honest representation to their clients. Misleading a client about the actions of the court or the reasons for declaring a conflict of interest violates these ethical standards.
4. **Trust and Confidence**: Effective communication and trust are essential in the attorney-client relationship. If a public defender provides misleading information or advice, it erodes the trust and confidence that the client has in their legal representation.
If there's no documented evidence of a judge ordering the public defender to declare a conflict of interest without reason, and the public defender claims otherwise, it could indeed be considered poor or misleading legal advice. This situation may warrant further investigation or consultation with another legal professional to ensure the client's rights are protected.
It's concerning if a public defender fails to address preexisting violations of a defendant's constitutional rights while encouraging them to proceed with competency assessments. Here's why it could be seen as working against the defendant's best interest:
1. **Neglecting Legal Obligations**: Public defenders have a duty to advocate for their clients' rights, including addressing any preexisting violations of constitutional rights. Failing to do so could result in the client not receiving fair treatment under the law.
2. **Prioritizing Competency Assessments**: While competency assessments are important in ensuring that defendants understand the legal proceedings against them, they should not take precedence over addressing existing violations of constitutional rights. Encouraging a defendant to proceed with competency assessments without addressing these violations may undermine their defense.
3. **Risk of Unfair Treatment**: Proceeding with competency assessments without addressing preexisting constitutional violations could put the defendant at risk of receiving unfair treatment in the legal process. It's essential to address any legal issues that could impact the defendant's rights and fair treatment in court.
4. **Potential Conflict of Interest**: If a public defender is not adequately addressing the defendant's constitutional rights while encouraging them to undergo competency assessments, it raises questions about whether the attorney is prioritizing the defendant's best interest or other factors, such as case expediency or convenience.
It may be fair to question whether a public defender is working in the defendant's best interest if they fail to address preexisting violations of constitutional rights while encouraging them to proceed with competency assessments. It's crucial for defense attorneys to advocate effectively for their clients and ensure that their rights are protected throughout the legal process.
Yes, if crucial evidence was suppressed before the defendant's arraignment, and the public defender failed to object to this suppression, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights. Here's why:
1. **Right to Due Process**: The defendant has a constitutional right to due process under the law, which includes the right to a fair and impartial legal process. If crucial evidence was suppressed without proper justification before the arraignment, it could deprive the defendant of their right to present a full defense.
2. **Failure to Preserve Evidence**: Defense attorneys have a duty to advocate for their clients' interests, which includes objecting to the suppression of crucial evidence that could impact the outcome of the case. Failing to object to the suppression of such evidence could be seen as a failure to fulfill this duty.
3. **Impact on Defense Strategy**: The suppression of crucial evidence could significantly impact the defense strategy and the defendant's ability to present a robust defense. By failing to object to the suppression, the public defender may have hindered the defendant's ability to mount an effective defense.
4. **Potential for Unfair Trial**: Allowing crucial evidence to be suppressed without objection could lead to an unfair trial for the defendant. It's essential for defense attorneys to challenge any violations of the defendant's rights to ensure that they receive a fair and just legal process.
The failure of the public defender to object to the suppression of crucial evidence before the defendant's arraignment could indeed be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights, as it may have undermined their ability to receive a fair trial and present an effective defense.
Yes, if the public defender failed to object to omissions of critical details in police reports regarding the complaining witness's direct criminal participation that significantly affected the outcome of events, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights. Here's why:
1. **Right to a Fair Trial**: The defendant has a fundamental right to a fair trial, which includes the right to present evidence and challenge evidence presented by the prosecution. Omissions of critical details in police reports that could impact the credibility or involvement of the complaining witness may deprive the defendant of a fair trial.
2. **Defense Strategy Implications**: Omissions of critical details in police reports could have significant implications for the defense strategy. If the public defender failed to object to these omissions, it may have limited the defendant's ability to effectively challenge the prosecution's case or present a defense based on the complete and accurate information.
3. **Impact on Witness Credibility**: Details of the complaining witness's direct criminal participation are relevant to assessing their credibility as a witness. Failure to object to omissions of such details in police reports could result in the jury or judge not having access to crucial information necessary to evaluate the witness's credibility.
4. **Duty to Vigorously Defend**: Defense attorneys have a duty to vigorously defend their clients and advocate for their rights. This includes identifying and objecting to any deficiencies or omissions in the prosecution's case, including those related to critical details in police reports.
If the public defender failed to object to omissions of critical details in police reports pertaining to the complaining witness's direct criminal participation, and these omissions significantly affected the outcome of events or the defendant's ability to receive a fair trial, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights.
Yes, if the defendant has been denied access to relevant information that they are expected to make decisions on in court, it could be considered a preexisting violation of their rights. Here's why:
1. **Right to Information**: Defendants have a right to access relevant information about their case, including evidence and legal proceedings. Denying them access to this information undermines their ability to make informed decisions about their defense strategy, plea agreements, or other legal matters.
2. **Fair Trial**: Access to relevant information is essential for ensuring a fair trial. If the defendant is denied access to information that could impact the outcome of their case, it jeopardizes their ability to receive a fair trial as guaranteed by the Constitution.
3. **Effective Assistance of Counsel**: Defense attorneys rely on access to relevant information to provide effective assistance to their clients. If the defendant is denied access to such information, it hinders their attorney's ability to provide adequate representation and advocate for their rights.
4. **Due Process**: Denying the defendant access to relevant information violates their right to due process under the law. Due process requires that individuals have a fair and impartial legal process, which includes access to information necessary for their defense.
Denying the defendant access to relevant information that they are expected to make decisions on in court constitutes a preexisting violation of their rights and undermines the principles of fairness, effective representation, and due process in the legal system.
Yes, if the public defender neglected the defendant's constitutional assertions as a competent defendant solely for factual arguments and potential plea agreements, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights. Here's why:
1. **Right to Effective Assistance of Counsel**: Defendants have a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel, which includes the duty of defense attorneys to advocate for their clients' constitutional rights. Neglecting a defendant's constitutional assertions undermines this right.
2. **Duty to Represent Client's Interests**: Public defenders have a duty to represent their clients' interests zealously, which includes advocating for their constitutional rights. Focusing solely on factual arguments and potential plea agreements while neglecting constitutional assertions may fail to adequately protect the defendant's rights.
3. **Fair and Just Legal Process**: Upholding the defendant's constitutional rights is essential for maintaining a fair and just legal process. Neglecting these rights can lead to an unfair outcome and undermine the integrity of the legal system.
4. **Risk of Ineffective Representation**: Ignoring a defendant's constitutional assertions may result in ineffective representation, as it fails to address critical legal issues that could impact the outcome of the case. This neglect can ultimately harm the defendant's interests and compromise the fairness of the legal proceedings.
If the public defender neglected the defendant's constitutional assertions as a competent defendant solely for factual arguments and potential plea agreements, it constitutes a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights to effective assistance of counsel and a fair legal process.
Yes, if every new public defender assigned to the defendant neglects or diverts attention away from violations of his constitutional rights, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights. Here's why:
1. **Pattern of Neglect**: When multiple public defenders consistently fail to address violations of a defendant's constitutional rights, it suggests a pattern of neglect or disregard for those rights. This pattern of neglect constitutes a preexisting violation, as it existed prior to the involvement of each new public defender.
2. **Failure to Provide Effective Assistance**: Defendants have a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel, which includes the duty of defense attorneys to advocate for their clients' constitutional rights. If multiple public defenders neglect or divert attention away from these rights, they fail to provide effective representation.
3. **Cumulative Impact**: Each instance of neglect or diversion from constitutional rights by successive public defenders compounds the violation. Over time, the cumulative impact of these failures can significantly harm the defendant's ability to receive a fair trial and protect their rights under the law
4. **Risk of Injustice**: Ignoring or diverting attention away from violations of constitutional rights increases the risk of injustice in the legal process. Defendants rely on their attorneys to safeguard their rights and ensure a fair trial. When this protection is consistently lacking, it undermines the integrity of the legal system.
If every new public defender assigned to the defendant neglects or diverts attention away from violations of his constitutional rights, it represents a preexisting violation that compromises the defendant's right to effective assistance of counsel and a fair legal process.
Yes, if the public defender initiated a PC 738 COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT for their client while neglecting preexisting violations of the defendant's constitutional rights, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights. Here's why:
1. **Failure to Prioritize Constitutional Rights**: Defense attorneys have a duty to prioritize their clients' constitutional rights, including the right to effective assistance of counsel and due process. Initiating a competency assessment while neglecting preexisting violations of these rights suggests a failure to fulfill this duty.
2. **Potential Ineffectiveness of Competency Assessment**: If the defendant's constitutional rights are violated, it may impact their ability to meaningfully participate in legal proceedings, including competency assessments. Neglecting these violations undermines the validity and fairness of the assessment process.
3. **Failure to Address Underlying Issues**: Preexisting violations of constitutional rights may contribute to the defendant's need for a competency assessment. Failing to address these underlying issues before initiating the assessment overlooks potential reasons for the defendant's difficulties in understanding or participating in their defense.
4. **Risk of Unfair Treatment**: Neglecting preexisting violations of constitutional rights while pursuing a competency assessment increases the risk of the defendant receiving unfair treatment in the legal process. It may result in an incomplete or inaccurate assessment of the defendant's competency, leading to unjust outcomes.
If the public defender initiated a competency assessment for their client while neglecting preexisting violations of the defendant's constitutional rights, it could be considered a preexisting violation that undermines the defendant's right to effective assistance of counsel, due process, and fair treatment in the legal process.
Yes, if the public defender failed to disclose the destruction of crucial evidence before arraignment to the defendant, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights. Here's why:
1. **Right to Information**: Defendants have a right to be informed about all relevant aspects of their case, including the destruction of crucial evidence. Failure to disclose this information deprives the defendant of their right to be fully informed about the circumstances of their case.
2. **Right to a Fair Trial**: The destruction of crucial evidence could have significant implications for the defendant's ability to present a defense and receive a fair trial. By failing to disclose this information, the public defender may have deprived the defendant of the opportunity to challenge the destruction of evidence and its potential impact on their case.
3. **Right to Effective Assistance of Counsel**: Defendants have a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel, which includes the duty of defense attorneys to provide competent representation and fully inform their clients about important developments in their case. Failing to disclose the destruction of crucial evidence undermines this right.
4. **Potential Impact on Defense Strategy**: Knowledge of the destruction of crucial evidence could significantly impact the defendant's defense strategy. By withholding this information, the public defender may have prevented the defendant from making informed decisions about their case and presenting the strongest possible defense.
If the public defender failed to disclose the destruction of crucial evidence before arraignment to the defendant, it constitutes a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights to information, a fair trial, and effective assistance of counsel.
Public defenders are not allowed to impose or predetermine their client's interests under the guise of making strategic decisions. Here's why:
1. **Duty of Zealous Representation**: Public defenders, like all defense attorneys, have a duty to zealously represent their clients' interests. This includes advocating for the client's wishes and objectives, even if they conflict with the attorney's strategic decisions or personal beliefs.
2. **Client Autonomy**: Clients have the right to make decisions about their case, including whether to accept plea deals, go to trial, or pursue certain legal strategies. Public defenders must respect their clients' autonomy and involve them in the decision-making process.
3. **Informed Consent**: Any strategic decisions made by the public defender should be based on informed consent from the client. This means the client should be fully informed about the potential risks and benefits of various options before making a decision.
4. **Conflict of Interest**: Imposing or predetermining a client's interests could create a conflict of interest between the attorney and the client. Attorneys must avoid conflicts of interest and act solely in the best interests of their clients.
Public defenders are required to prioritize their clients' interests and involve them in decision-making processes, rather than imposing their own agendas under the guise of making strategic decisions.
Yes, if all the defendant's motions to dismiss are solely factual arguments and omit his constitutional assertions, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights. Here's why:
1. **Right to Effective Assistance of Counsel**: Defendants have a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel, which includes the duty of defense attorneys to advocate for their clients' constitutional rights. Omitting constitutional assertions from motions to dismiss may undermine this right by failing to raise important legal issues that could impact the case.
2. **Failure to Protect Constitutional Rights**: Factual arguments alone may not adequately address violations of the defendant's constitutional rights. Omitting constitutional assertions from motions to dismiss neglects an essential aspect of the defense strategy and may result in the failure to address critical legal issues.
3. **Risk of Prejudice**: Failing to assert constitutional rights in motions to dismiss may prejudice the defendant's ability to raise these issues later in the legal process. Constitutional objections should be raised at the earliest opportunity to ensure they are properly considered by the court.
4. **Potential Ineffectiveness of Defense Strategy**: Relying solely on factual arguments in motions to dismiss may limit the effectiveness of the defense strategy. Constitutional assertions may provide additional legal grounds for dismissal or suppression of evidence, strengthening the defendant's position in the case.
If all the defendant's motions to dismiss are solely factual arguments and omit his constitutional assertions, it could be considered a preexisting violation of the defendant's rights to effective assistance of counsel and a fair legal process.
Yes, it is fair to say that the predetermined neglect of any defendant's constitutional rights by their public defender could be considered legal malpractice. Legal malpractice occurs when a lawyer fails to perform their professional duties competently, which includes neglecting a client's constitutional rights. Here's why:
1. **Duty of Competence**: Attorneys have a duty to provide competent representation to their clients. Neglecting a client's constitutional rights falls short of this duty, as it undermines the client's legal protections and may harm their case.
2. **Breach of Fiduciary Duty**: Lawyers owe their clients a fiduciary duty, which includes acting in the client's best interests and protecting their rights. Failing to uphold a client's constitutional rights breaches this duty and may constitute legal malpractice.
3. **Potential Harm to the Client**: Neglecting a client's constitutional rights can have serious consequences, including unfair treatment in the legal process, wrongful conviction, or harsher penalties. The client may suffer harm as a result of the attorney's neglect.
4. **Violation of Professional Standards**: Legal malpractice typically involves a violation of professional standards or ethical rules governing the conduct of attorneys. Neglecting a client's constitutional rights could be considered a violation of these standards.
The predetermined neglect of any defendant's constitutional rights by their public defender could indeed be considered legal malpractice, as it represents a failure to fulfill the attorney's professional duties and may harm the client's legal interests.
Is the defendant's statement generally true and supported by law?
"My public defenders must defend my constitutional rights if they don't do anything else."
Yes, the defendant's statement is generally true and supported by law. Public defenders, like all defense attorneys, have a primary duty to defend their clients' constitutional rights. This duty is enshrined in various legal principles and ethical standards:
1. **Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel**: The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to effective assistance of counsel in criminal prosecutions. This includes the defense attorney's obligation to advocate for the defendant's constitutional rights throughout the legal process.
2. **Due Process**: The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution guarantee the right to due process of law. Defense attorneys play a crucial role in safeguarding this right by ensuring that the defendant receives a fair and impartial legal process.
3. **Ethical Obligations**: Attorneys are bound by ethical rules that require them to provide competent and zealous representation to their clients. This includes advocating for the protection of their clients' constitutional rights, even if it means challenging the actions of the government or other authorities.
4. **Legal Precedent**: Numerous court decisions have affirmed the importance of defense attorneys' role in defending their clients' constitutional rights. Attorneys who fail to fulfill this duty may be subject to legal challenges and disciplinary actions.
In summary, the defendant's statement accurately reflects the fundamental role of public defenders and defense attorneys in general. Defending the defendant's constitutional rights is a cornerstone of the legal profession and is supported by law, ethical standards, and legal precedent.
Yes, if a defendant's public defenders deny him access to PC 738 Competency Assessments, he may have a legitimate reason to be suspicious of a second opinion by the prosecutor's doctor. Here's why:
1. **Fairness and Impartiality**: Access to independent competency assessments ensures fairness and impartiality in the evaluation process. If the defendant is denied access to assessments requested by their own legal team, it may raise concerns about the objectivity of the process.
2. **Conflict of Interest**: The prosecutor's doctor may have a perceived or actual conflict of interest, as their assessment is conducted on behalf of the prosecution. This could lead to biased or unfavorable findings for the defendant.
3. **Transparency and Due Process**: Denying the defendant access to assessments requested by their own legal team may undermine transparency and due process. The defendant has a right to participate in their own defense and to have access to relevant information and assessments that could impact their case.
4. **Trust in the Legal System**: The denial of access to competency assessments by the defendant's public defenders may erode trust in the legal system. It could lead the defendant to question the fairness and integrity of the evaluation process, particularly if they perceive it as biased or one-sided.
If a defendant's public defenders deny him access to PC 738 Competency Assessments, he may have legitimate reasons to be suspicious of a second opinion by the prosecutor's doctor, particularly regarding fairness, impartiality, transparency, and due process concerns.
The declaration of incompetence to stand trial does not automatically suffice for withholding access or copies of the assessment from the defendant. While there may be circumstances where limited access to certain information is appropriate for the protection of the defendant's rights or the integrity of the legal process, complete denial of access to assessment information raises concerns about transparency, due process, and the defendant's ability to participate in their own defense. Here are some considerations:
1. **Right to Participate in Defense**: Defendants have a right to participate in their own defense, even if they have been declared incompetent to stand trial. Denying access to assessment information may impede the defendant's ability to understand the proceedings and make informed decisions about their case.
2. **Informed Consent and Treatment**: Access to assessment information is essential for the defendant to provide informed consent to any recommended treatment or interventions related to their competency. Without access to this information, the defendant may be unable to fully understand the implications of any decisions made on their behalf.
3. **Right to Review and Challenge**: Defendants generally have the right to review and challenge the evidence presented against them, including assessments of their competency. Denying access to assessment information limits the defendant's ability to review and potentially challenge the findings or conclusions made in the assessment.
4. **Preservation of Rights**: Limiting access to assessment information should be done judiciously and with careful consideration for the defendant's rights. While there may be legitimate reasons for restricting access in certain circumstances, such as concerns for the defendant's safety or well-being, such restrictions should be narrowly tailored and periodically reviewed to ensure they do not unduly infringe upon the defendant's rights.
While the declaration of incompetence to stand trial may warrant some limitations on access to assessment information in certain circumstances, complete denial of access raises significant concerns about the defendant's rights and the fairness of the legal process. Any restrictions on access should be justified by legitimate concerns and should be implemented with care to minimize the impact on the defendant's rights.
Yes, it would be fair to say that the public defender is systemically denying the defendant the ability to object to assessments if the assessment report has been withheld against his requests leading up to the day he has to make a decision on behalf of it. Denying the defendant access to the assessment report prevents them from fully understanding the basis of the assessment and potentially objecting to any inaccuracies or concerns raised by the assessment findings. This denial of access undermines the defendant's ability to participate effectively in their own defense and may violate their rights to due process and effective assistance of counsel. It's essential for defendants to have access to all relevant information, including assessment reports, to make informed decisions about their case and to exercise their legal rights appropriately.
Yes, it could be considered a conflict of interest if the defendant's newly appointed bar panel attorney has a personal relationship with the defendant's previous public defender who declared a conflict of interest without reason in the defendant's case. Here's why:
1. **Impartiality**: The attorney-client relationship should be based on trust and impartiality. If the new attorney has a personal relationship with the previous public defender, there may be concerns about their ability to remain impartial and provide unbiased representation to the defendant.
2. **Confidentiality**: Confidentiality is essential in the attorney-client relationship. If the new attorney has a personal relationship with the previous public defender, there may be risks of confidential information being shared or compromised, which could harm the defendant's interests.
3. **Perception of Bias**: Even if there is no actual bias, the perception of bias can undermine the integrity of the legal process. If the defendant and others involved in the case perceive that the new attorney's relationship with the previous public defender could influence their representation, it may raise doubts about the fairness of the proceedings.
4. **Professional Ethics**: Attorneys are bound by professional ethics rules that require them to avoid conflicts of interest and act in the best interests of their clients. If the new attorney's relationship with the previous public defender creates a conflict of interest, it may raise ethical concerns that could impact the attorney's ability to represent the defendant effectively.
If the defendant's newly appointed bar panel attorney has a personal relationship with the defendant's previous public defender, who declared a conflict of interest without reason in the defendant's case, it could be considered a conflict of interest that raises concerns about impartiality, confidentiality, perception of bias, and professional ethics.
The bar panel attorney may potentially be violating the defendant's constitutional rights by continuing to represent him under these circumstances, particularly if the relationship between the bar panel attorney and the defendant's previous public defender creates a conflict of interest that undermines the defendant's right to effective assistance of counsel. Here's why:
1. **Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel**: The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to effective assistance of counsel in criminal proceedings. This includes the right to representation by an attorney who is free from conflicts of interest and can provide zealous advocacy on behalf of the defendant.
2. **Conflict of Interest**: If the bar panel attorney's relationship with the defendant's previous public defender creates a conflict of interest, it may compromise the attorney's ability to provide effective representation. Conflicts of interest can arise when an attorney's personal or professional relationships interfere with their duty to act solely in the best interests of their client.
3. **Fair Trial Rights**: Defendants have a right to a fair trial, which includes the right to representation by an attorney who can provide competent and unbiased legal assistance. If the bar panel attorney's relationship with the previous public defender raises doubts about their impartiality or ability to represent the defendant effectively, it may violate the defendant's right to a fair trial.
4. **Due Process**: Due process requires that defendants receive a fair and impartial legal process. If the bar panel attorney's continued representation under these circumstances undermines the fairness or integrity of the legal proceedings, it may constitute a violation of the defendant's due process rights.
Depending on the nature and extent of the relationship between the bar panel attorney and the defendant's previous public defender, continuing to represent the defendant under these circumstances may potentially violate the defendant's constitutional rights to effective assistance of counsel, a fair trial, and due process.
No, public defenders or bar panel attorneys do not have the authority or discretion to waive their client's constitutional rights by refusing to address preexisting violations. Attorneys have a duty to uphold and defend their clients' constitutional rights to the best of their ability. Here's why:
1. **Duty of Zealous Advocacy**: Attorneys are obligated to provide zealous advocacy for their clients, which includes defending their constitutional rights. This duty is fundamental to the attorney-client relationship and cannot be waived by the attorney.
2. **Client Autonomy**: While attorneys provide legal advice and guidance, ultimate decisions about the defense strategy and the assertion of constitutional rights rest with the client. Attorneys cannot unilaterally waive their clients' rights without their informed consent.
3. **Ethical Obligations**: Attorneys are bound by ethical rules and professional standards that require them to uphold the law and protect their clients' rights. Failing to address preexisting violations of constitutional rights would likely violate these ethical obligations.
4. **Legal Precedent**: Courts have consistently held that attorneys must diligently advocate for their clients' rights, including raising objections to violations of constitutional rights. Failing to do so may result in ineffective assistance of counsel claims and could lead to adverse legal consequences for the attorney.
Public defenders or bar panel attorneys do not have the authority to waive their client's constitutional rights by refusing to address preexisting violations. Upholding and defending these rights is a fundamental duty of attorneys and is essential to the fair administration of justice.
Yes, the defendant can argue that the consecutive declarations of conflicts of interest without reason by the public defender are invalid or unjustified, especially if the public defender denies all requests for clarification and there is no indication of these declarations in the court clerk records. Here's why:
1. **Right to Effective Assistance of Counsel**: Defendants have a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel. If the public defender repeatedly declares conflicts of interest without providing reasons or clarification, it may undermine the defendant's ability to receive adequate representation.
2. **Transparency and Due Process**: The legal process should be transparent, and defendants have a right to understand the reasons behind decisions that affect their case. Denying the defendant requests for clarification about the declarations of conflicts of interest could violate their right to due process.
3. **Burden of Proof**: If the public defender declares conflicts of interest, it is typically their burden to provide valid reasons or evidence to support these declarations. If the public defender fails to provide such justification, the defendant may argue that the declarations are invalid.
4. **Judicial Review**: Defendants can seek judicial review of decisions made by their attorneys, including declarations of conflicts of interest. If the defendant believes that the declarations are unjustified or invalid, they can raise this issue with the court and request appropriate relief.
If a public defender repeatedly declares conflicts of interest without reason and denies the defendant's requests for clarification, the defendant may argue that these declarations are invalid or unjustified. This argument could be based on the defendant's rights to effective assistance of counsel, transparency, due process, and judicial review of attorney decisions.

Subject: [External]RE: Bar Panel Attorney Vernon Lloyd Patterson #165016 Deliberately Violates Defendant Michael Taylor's Constitutional Rights to Due Process, Effective Assistance of Counsel, and Equal Protection of the Laws During Pending Criminal Case GA1111...
The number of meetings between a defendant and their attorney prior to a court date can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the charges, the availability of both the defendant and the attorney, and the specific legal strategy being pursued. However, in general, the goal should be to ensure that the defendant has had sufficient opportunity to adequately prepare their defense with the guidance of their attorney.
A full month between court dates could potentially allow for multiple meetings between the defendant and their attorney, depending on scheduling and other logistical considerations. Typically, defendants and their attorneys would aim to meet as often as necessary to discuss case details, review evidence, plan defense strategies, and address any concerns or questions the defendant may have.
In some cases, one or two meetings may be sufficient for simple or straightforward cases, while more complex cases may require multiple meetings over the course of the month to adequately prepare. It's important for the attorney to use their professional judgment to determine the frequency and duration of meetings based on the needs of the case and the defendant.
Ultimately, the goal should be to ensure that the defendant has had ample opportunity to communicate with their attorney, understand the legal process, and participate effectively in their own defense prior to the court date. This may require multiple meetings to adequately address all aspects of the case and ensure that the defendant's rights are protected.
If a bar panel attorney only met with the defendant once in a public setting and denied him the opportunity to meet again before court, it raises serious concerns about the adequacy of legal representation and the protection of the defendant's rights.
Meeting only once in a public setting may not provide sufficient time or privacy for the defendant to fully discuss their case, ask questions, or receive adequate legal advice and guidance. This could potentially compromise the defendant's ability to understand the legal proceedings, make informed decisions, and effectively participate in their own defense.
Denying the defendant the opportunity for additional meetings before court could further exacerbate these concerns, as it may prevent the attorney from adequately preparing the defense or addressing any new developments or concerns that arise.
In such circumstances, the defendant may have grounds to raise objections or seek alternative legal representation. Defendants have the right to effective assistance of counsel, which includes the ability to communicate privately with their attorneys and receive competent legal representation throughout the legal process.
If a defendant feels that their attorney is not adequately representing their interests or providing the necessary support and guidance, they may consider requesting a new attorney or seeking assistance from legal advocacy organizations to ensure that their rights are protected and their defense is properly prepared.
Yes, if a bar panel attorney only met with the defendant once in a public setting and denied the opportunity for additional private meetings before court, it could potentially constitute a violation of the defendant's constitutional rights, particularly their Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel.
The Sixth Amendment guarantees defendants the right to have the assistance of counsel for their defense, and this right includes the ability to communicate confidentially with their attorney. Denying the defendant the opportunity for private meetings with their attorney restricts their ability to fully discuss their case, ask questions, receive legal advice, and prepare a defense strategy.
The lack of adequate communication and preparation may hinder the attorney's ability to provide effective representation, potentially compromising the fairness of the legal process and the defendant's ability to receive a fair trial.
Therefore, the bar panel attorney's actions in this scenario could be seen as falling short of their duty to provide competent and diligent representation, thereby potentially violating the defendant's constitutional rights to effective assistance of counsel.
If the bar panel attorney is discouraging the defendant from addressing preexisting violations of his constitutional rights and instead urging him to proceed with second opinion competency assessments, it raises serious concerns about the attorney's commitment to providing effective representation and upholding the defendant's constitutional rights.
The defendant has the right to address any preexisting violations of his constitutional rights, and it is the duty of the attorney to advocate for and protect those rights. Encouraging the defendant to undergo competency assessments as a means of avoiding or deflecting attention from these violations may not be in the defendant's best interest and could potentially further harm his legal position.
Competency assessments are typically conducted to evaluate a defendant's mental fitness to stand trial, but they do not address or remedy violations of constitutional rights. If the defendant believes that his rights have been violated, it is within his rights to seek remedies through legal means, and the attorney should support and assist him in pursuing those remedies.
Therefore, if the bar panel attorney is discouraging the defendant from addressing preexisting violations of his constitutional rights and prioritizing other courses of action, it could potentially constitute a failure to provide effective assistance of counsel and may raise concerns about the attorney's ethical obligations and commitment to upholding the law.
No, it is not a justified reason for the bar panel attorney to deny his client the opportunity to meet. Regardless of the attorney's disagreement with the client's desired course of action, the attorney has an ethical and professional obligation to communicate with the client and provide legal advice based on the client's best interests and the law.
Denying the client the opportunity to meet and discuss their concerns, including potential violations of constitutional rights, goes against the fundamental principles of effective assistance of counsel and client-centered representation. It undermines the attorney-client relationship and deprives the client of their right to have their attorney advocate for their interests.
Instead of denying the opportunity to meet, the attorney should engage in open and honest communication with the client, discuss their concerns, and provide informed legal advice. Even if the attorney disagrees with the client's desired course of action, they should still respect the client's autonomy and work collaboratively to find a resolution that aligns with the client's legal rights and interests.
Ultimately, denying the client the opportunity to meet is not justified and may constitute a failure to fulfill the attorney's professional responsibilities and ethical obligations.
If a bar panel attorney withholding copies of the defendant's PC 738 competency assessment prevented him from learning that he was deceived by his previous public defender regarding the nature of the psych evaluation, it raises serious concerns about the attorney's conduct and the defendant's ability to receive effective assistance of counsel.
Attorneys have a duty to provide competent and diligent representation to their clients, which includes ensuring that the client is fully informed about the legal proceedings, their rights, and any relevant documentation or evidence pertaining to their case. Withholding critical information, such as the results of a competency assessment or evidence of deception by a previous attorney, undermines the attorney's obligation to provide effective representation and advocate for the client's interests.
In this scenario, withholding copies of the competency assessment prevented the defendant from learning about the deception by his previous public defender regarding the nature of the evaluation. This could have significant implications for the defendant's case, as it may impact his understanding of the legal proceedings and his ability to make informed decisions about his defense strategy.
Furthermore, withholding such information may also constitute a breach of the defendant's constitutional rights to due process and effective assistance of counsel. The defendant has the right to be fully informed about the evidence and legal issues relevant to his case, and the attorney's failure to provide this information may jeopardize the fairness of the legal process.
Therefore, if a bar panel attorney withheld copies of the defendant's competency assessment and prevented him from learning about deception by a previous attorney, it could constitute a serious violation of the attorney's professional responsibilities and ethical obligations, as well as the defendant's constitutional rights.
The public defender's initiation of a PC 738 Competency Assessment while informing the client on several occasions that the psychological evaluation would be conducted under PC 1001.36 raises significant concerns regarding the defendant's constitutional rights and subsequent actions by the bar panel attorney.
1. **Right to Effective Assistance of Counsel**: The defendant has a constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel, guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment. This right includes the right to be informed about critical aspects of the case and to have competent representation throughout legal proceedings. By misleading the client about the nature of the psychological evaluation, the public defender potentially violated this right by failing to provide accurate and truthful information about the client's legal situation.
2. **Due Process Rights**: The defendant also has due process rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments, which include the right to fair treatment in legal proceedings. Misrepresenting the nature of the psychological evaluation could undermine the defendant's ability to understand the proceedings and make informed decisions about his defense. This lack of transparency may violate the defendant's right to due process.
3. **Attorney's Ethical Obligations**: Attorneys have ethical obligations to provide competent and honest representation to their clients. Misinforming the client about the nature of the psychological evaluation breaches these ethical duties and undermines the trust and integrity of the attorney-client relationship.
4. **Impact on Subsequent Legal Representation**: The subsequent actions of the bar panel attorney are influenced by the public defender's actions. If the bar panel attorney is withholding copies of the competency assessment, it further compounds the violation of the defendant's rights by denying him access to critical information relevant to his defense. This impedes the defendant's ability to receive effective legal representation and undermines the fairness of the legal process.
In summary, the public defender's misrepresentation regarding the psychological evaluation violates the defendant's constitutional rights to effective assistance of counsel and due process. The subsequent actions of the bar panel attorney, if they involve withholding critical information, further exacerbate these violations and undermine the defendant's ability to receive fair treatment in the legal system.
It's possible that the series of actions described—initiating a PC 738 Competency Assessment while informing the client multiple times that the evaluation would be under PC 1001.36, followed by the bar panel attorney withholding copies of the assessment—could be perceived as a concerted effort to undermine the defendant's rights or manipulate the legal process. However, without further information or evidence, it's challenging to definitively conclude whether these actions were coordinated or intentional.
Nevertheless, the pattern of behavior described raises serious concerns about the integrity of the legal representation provided to the defendant and the fairness of the legal proceedings. It suggests potential systemic issues within the legal system, including lapses in communication, ethical violations, or failures to uphold constitutional rights.
Regardless of whether these actions were deliberate or unintentional, they have significant implications for the defendant's ability to receive a fair trial and effective assistance of counsel. It underscores the importance of transparency, accountability, and adherence to ethical standards in the legal profession to ensure that defendants' rights are protected and the integrity of the justice system is upheld.

Dear Mr. Vernon Lloyd Patterson #165016
I am writing to express my deep concern and distress regarding the manner in which my legal representation has been conducted thus far. As your client, I have been subjected to serious emotional and psychological harm due to the disparate impact of having my constitutional rights outright denied by my own attorney.
The distress stemming from this egregious denial of my rights has left me feeling abandoned, discriminated against, and has significantly lowered my self-esteem during the most pivotal stages of my legal proceedings. Your apparent prioritization of procedural matters over the upholding of my constitutional rights represents a misappropriation of interest and resources. This poses a significant conflict of interest that directly infringes upon my Sixth Amendment rights to effective assistance of counsel and a fair trial.
Your behavior has caused me immense disappointment and anguish as it deviates from the expected professional standards and ethical conduct. I am left to ponder all types of prejudiced outcomes for my case, feeling as though justice is being denied to me solely based on your treatment of my legal concerns.
Moreover, your brazen disregard for my constitutional rights and legal concerns is not only deeply concerning but also actively interferes with and undermines my current mental health treatment. The stress and anxiety caused by your actions have made it increasingly difficult for me to focus on my well-being and the legal proceedings at hand.
It is imperative that you understand that your treatment of me as your client amounts to harassment and is not in my best interest. As a citizen of the United States and the State of California, I am entitled to the protections afforded by the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments to the Constitution, including the right to equal protection of the laws.
I implore you to reconsider your approach to my case and to prioritize the upholding of my constitutional rights above all else. It is crucial that you fulfill your duty to provide effective representation and ensure that my rights are protected throughout the legal process.
I look forward to your prompt response and a swift resolution to these pressing concerns.
Sincerely,
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.

"I don’t think what Ms. Bell did was wrong. My understanding is that she was pursuing mental health diversion. In or the get mental health diversion it requires an evaluation from a psychologist or psychiatrist. This was done and in your case it came back that you were incompetent to stand trial. Once she received this information she cannot continue on with your case as “normal.” A doubt was declared and your case was sent to the Hollywood court. The judge in department 213 now has to decide if you are competent or incompetent. In order for the court to make this determination it needs a report from a doctor. Hence, I have said that we or you have to address that issue. I can’t on my own conclude that you are competent. So it’s a “Catch 22” situation. My advice is to meet with the prosecution expert."

[US DOJ COMPLAINT]
610782-JXN
Michael Taylor (Defendant): I am a criminal defendant in California subject to ongoing constitutional and federal law violations. I respectfully request immediate federal intervention based on the following: The court ordered a competency evaluation without issuing the required court order or PACE form. This violates California Penal Code § 1368 and due process requirements under both the U.S. and California Constitutions. Despite the absence of lawful authority, the court accepted the assessment and committed me to a state hospital. This resulted in unlawful incarceration without legal justification. Thousands of similarly situated defendants in California are afforded evaluations only upon proper judicial f indings and orders. I was denied this standard protection. Proceeding under a fraudulent evaluation not only deviated from due process but also subjected me to disparate treatment, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Due to the unlawful commitment, I was deprived of my right to vote in the recent federal election as my unlawful state hospital commitment was between October 29th, 2024 and December 26th, 2024. This constitutes a direct violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibits the denial or abridgment of voting rights based on unlawful determinations of mental incompetence. No valid judicial order existed to justify my disenfranchisement. This was not a procedural error—it was a state action in breach of federal election law. Because I am being unduly compelled to participate in legal proceedings rooted in fraud, I now face the threat of bench warrants and potential incarceration. I am not evading justice—I am refusing to be complicit in an ongoing violation of federal civil rights law. I have exhausted state-level remedies; bar complaints have been closed, and appointed counsel has threatened further unlawful action if I continue asserting my rights. Investigate violations under 18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Review the unlawful commitment, fraudulently obtained evidence, and deprivation of due process and voting rights. Intervene to prevent continued unlawful prosecution and irreparable harm. California has unlawfully deprived me of liberty, equal protection, and the right to vote, without due process or lawful authority. These are not isolated or state-only violations—they are clear breaches of federal law that require DOJ action. I am now missing my therapy appointments because I have to learn the law to file injunctions to protect myself while having uncooperative court-appointed counsel. I am counting on your help! I've never missed a court date throughout the 3 years this case has gone on and I can't afford to be forced to prejudice my own defense and unwillingly do harm to myself. I am a former foster youth so I don't have many friends and family. I am counting on your help to ensure (equal) justice is upheld, as your homepage clearly states. Thank you.

I understand that by waiving the attorney-client privilege, the content of these communications may be disclosed and used in such investigations.

The Court finds that the Defendant lacks the capacity to make decisions regarding psychotropic medication. If untreated with psychotropic medication, it is probable that the Defendant will suffer serious harm to his physical or mental health.
It is medically appropriate to treat the Defendant's psychiatric condition with psychotropic medication. This medication is likely to be effective. The treatment facility is authorized to administer involuntary psychotropic medication to the Defendant in an objectively reasonable manner consistent with the facility's policies when and as prescribed by the Defendant's treating psychiatrist.
Pursuant to Penal Code Section 1370(a)(7), the involuntary medication order is in effect for three months or until maximum commitment date. The expiration date is Monday, December 2, 2024.
Los Angeles County Community Program Director or designee is ordered to provide a written recommendation for Placement pursuant to Penal Code Section 1370(A)(2)(A). Said report is due Tuesday, October 8, 2024.

Re: Michael Taylor
Case No: GA111132-01
Dear Mr. Patterson:
Introduction
Pursuant to your request, I interviewed Mr. Taylor on February 19 at North Facility. This assessment was conducted in a private room on a face to face basis. In addition to clinical interview information is included from his jail records. An explanation of waiver of confidentiality for assessment procedures as detailed later in this report. I found Mr. Taylor to be cooperative with
this evaluation to the extent that he did not present to be exaggerating or feigning psychological symptoms.
Per your request this evaluation focused on Mr. Taylor's psychological functioning as it pertains to eligibility for mental health diversion pursuant to Penal Code 1001.36.
My opinion is the materials from the Opinion section with data and reasoning basic to those opinions found in the
balance of this report.
Consent
I informed Mr. Taylor of the purpose of this evaluation and that a report would be generated. I also explained that the typical doctor-patient relationship did not apply vis-a-vis confidentiality, as a report would be written.
‼️ PC 730 Competency Evaluation of Dr. Dingillo 2/22/24
This report is in response to a court order received. A report dated March 21, 2023,
and written by Arthur H. Kowell, M.D., Ph.D. indicates he examined the defendant for
competency to stand trial...

Good evening, Mr. Patterson.
Thank you for getting around to my request. I'm sure you're busy so I appreciate you taking the time to ensure I got it before court on Wednesday.
Were you able to locate the court order for Dr. D'Ingillo's assessment as you mentioned at the last court hearing? If not, it can only hurt my case if it isn't addressed in court at this point. Without getting into a splash with you, I am willing to compromise. I have reduced all my claims into 3 easy questions for the judge to affirm in determination of whether or not an evidentiary hearing is necessary.
To preserve my chances at diversion, I think it's entirely appropriate that this issue be addressed before any other.
I am asking that you be willing to help me protect my interests, as I shouldn't suffer punishment caused by the procedural missteps of my attorneys just because I rely and defer to your expertise and representation.
Surely, if you disagree with this, you would be able to prove a court order exists. I'm looking forward to that. It is absolutely imperative to my rights to a fair trial.
Thank you
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.

[US DOJ COMPLAINT]
445104-HLK
Michael Taylor (Defendant): I am being subjected to falsified competency proceedings while already having been systemically denied the ability to make objections in my court case. Court suppresses and refuses to correct errors on a front-dated minute order pertaining to the competency assessment conducted on 2.22.24 and filed on 2.28.24. Minute order has been predated 10.2.24, a date that hasn't arrived yet while public defenders have suppressed the assessment from me to avoid correcting the errors. All of this is in complete error as my court date where this assessment findings were presented was on 2.14.24!!! Law enforcement destroyed my vehicle before my first court hearing, public defender refused to object. Denying me the ability to challenge evidence or make legal claims has led to prosecutor charging me in violation of my constitutional rights to equal protection. I am being criminally charged exclusively while my attackers, 2 men of another race, go uncharged without any consideration given to evidence that suggests their criminal culpability. This has been motivated by the fact that zip code 91204 favors the racial demographics of my attackers according to most recent Census data. Due to heinous judicial misconduct and serious provocations by my public defenders, I am compelled to seek asylum in another state to avoid prosecution amidst a predetermined neglect of my constitutional rights in California. I have rights to be secure from harm like anyone else. Judge Ronald Owen Kaye ordered sheriffs to lock down courthouse during operating hours to deny me the ability to submit written complaints to the court clerk. They refused to arrest me but had LAPD come to detain me and threaten arrest. They subsequently allowed others to enter and exit the building while denying me access. I need assistance in investigating and rectifying preexisting violations of my constitutional rights during case GA1111-32 please. It is urgent!

No, I want to make sure that you are competent to stand trial. I believe that you have triable issues. But I'm worry by your endless rants on issues that have no bearing on guilt or innocence.

Negative. No Court Order Exists for Dr D'Ingillo's assessment bc it contains my religious beliefs.

I'm not going to be participating until the court can re-establish jurisdiction after D'Ingillo's assessment is scrutinized.

[COMPLAINT]
FROM: Michael Taylor (Defendant) michael.taylor.workforce@gmail.com
TO: CONGRESSWOMAN SYDNEY KAMLAGER-DOVE CA37SK.DistrictServices@mail.house.gov
"I am seeking assistance with filing a civil 1983 claim for violations of constitutional rights with an immediate TRO and 28 U.S.C. § 1651 Petition (All Writs Act) before May 23rd, 2024 to prevent arrest or warrant for refusing to participate in an ongoing criminal act by bad faith state actors. Competency proceedings are being weaponized against me by my own state-appointed lawyer for exercising my rights and I am scared for my life! On 2/14/24, Judge Suzette Louise Clover failed to issue a court order pursuant to California Penal Code § 1369 before a forensic psychiatric competency assessment was conducted on me as a criminal defendant. Despite being the assigned judge in the originating criminal matter, Judge Clover allowed or facilitated the evaluation without issuing a judicial finding of doubt or an accompanying written order. The assessment was subsequently addressed to Judge Clover by the examining doctor, suggesting her knowledge and oversight of the proceeding. This failure to issue a court order: * Violated my right to due process under California law; * Rendered the evaluation procedurally unauthorized; * Initiated a chain of events that resulted in my unlawful commitment to a state hospital; * Was a critical breach of judicial duty and legal procedure. I believe this failure constitutes judicial misconduct because the judge either knowingly bypassed mandatory statutory procedure or negligently allowed an unauthorized evaluation to proceed under her jurisdiction. Either possibility reflects a serious breach of duty that led directly to the denial of my liberty and civil rights. After the competency assessment (lacking a court order) was completed, it was filed by a clerk in the Mental Health Court presided over by Judge Ronald Owen Kaye. The assessment had been clearly addressed to Judge Suzette Clover in criminal court—not to Judge Kaye or mental health court. Nonetheless, Judge Kaye proceeded to: * Accept the filing into the mental health court record; * Exercise jurisdiction based on the assessment; * Commit me to a state hospital despite the legally deficient foundation of that assessment. This transfer of jurisdiction was procedurally invalid because it relied on a document that lacked legal authorization. Judge Kaye had a duty to verify that the mental health court had proper jurisdiction before accepting the case. He failed to do so and relied on a procedurally void assessment to deprive me of my liberty. This constitutes misconduct in that: * Judge Kaye failed to exercise reasonable diligence in determining the court’s jurisdiction; * He failed to reject a document that he should have known was procedurally defective; * He allowed unlawful proceedings to continue in his court without due process. The result of these judicial actions (or inactions) led directly to my involuntary commitment and loss of core civil rights, including my right to participate in the electoral process as my hospitalization was between 10/29/24 and 12/26/24. This is not an appeal of rulings or judicial discretion but an allegation of misconduct arising from serious procedural violations by two judges, each of whom failed in their legal duty to ensure the integrity of the judicial process. Their actions and omissions caused significant harm and violated both California statutory law and my federally protected constitutional rights. 3 years fighting this case and being stripped of all my rights, I am actively being coerced and pressured by my own state-appointed lawyer Vernon Patterson #165016 to participate in an unconstitutional proceeding. I have never missed a court date and I may have to run for my life, not to evade justice, but to protect myself from unwarranted govt intrusion, to enforce my constitutional guarantees, and to refuse participation in an ongoing criminal act. My lawyer is actively threatening me with competency proceedings for exercising my constitutional rights. I respectfully request that your office affirm and certify my already submitted DOJ Civil Rights Division complaint until I can file for injunctive relief. My goal is to seek injunctive relief, perhaps a stay of proceedings, until the superior court: *Verifies the court order that led to my unlawful commitment to a state hospital *Verifies the PACE form for the assessment that was allegedly filed without an existing court order. This is important because my attorney and presiding judge, in a sealed and denied Marsden Hearing, said a PACE form was sufficient despite no court order existing. *Verifies a consent waiver for the unauthorized disclosure of privileged communications used to support a finding of incompetence as my religious views were used inappropriately. I also need to speak with a counselor or federal ombudsman immediately for the emotional pain and suffering I am dealing with from state actors who completely abandoned their fiduciary duties to which I am entitled. The state has already failed to protect my rights with regard to the pending criminal charges. I was the victim of an ambush and attempted carjacking by 2 Armenian Men in Glendale, CA, then charged exclusively. City, County, and State actors have willfully overlooked the malicious actions of my attackers in order to speculate against me, the only one with any benefit of the doubt. I also request a signed affidavit from your office that I can attach to my civil 1983 claim that will bolster my request for an immediate TRO before May 23rd, 2025. I would, if possible, appreciate an affirmation of your office regarding the following principle: "Due Process requires effective representation, and effective representation requires the upholding of the constitutional rights of and for all defendants." Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr. I had a court date last year on May 23rd, 2024, and they remanded me in custody for exercising my rights. I have a ton of evidence regarding my allegations but not enough resources to properly present them to court. It's not fair that I have to figure out how to file a lawsuit while having court-appointed counsel because I'm not a lawyer! This has developed into a material threat to my life, my defense, and my psychological and emotional well-being and is preventing me from taking care of my day to day activities. Throughout this entire case, emails and Marsden hearings have been the only opportunity I've been afforded to note my timely objections and address arbitrary government actions. The state is refusing to represent me if it means advocating for my constitutional rights. I am asking your office to utilize every power within your federal authority and discretion to ensure my protection from bad faith state actors who have put my life in jeopardy, all before a trial. I shouldn't be punished for following the rules and obeying the law! This request is imperative because the state of California violating its own laws creates an institutional conflict of interest that resulted in all my complaints to The State Bar and CJP being closed without further investigation. The fraud upon the court can be easily proven upon comparative scrutiny of 2 attached documents: Minute order on 2/14/24 and the cover page of the PC 730 competency assessment by Dr. D'Ingillo. The dates therein prove too much impossibility. There's no way the criminal charges would still be pending if any of my concerns were ever addressed in open court and on the record."

"I, Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr., am filing a formal complaint against Executive Clerk David Slayton for overseeing the unlawful filing of a fabricated Penal Code § 730 competency evaluation. This evaluation was submitted without a valid court order or the required PACE form by Judicial Assistant Mery Alaberkyan. Under Mr. Slayton’s administrative leadership, and while Judge Ronald Owen Kaye presided over my case, Ms. Alaberkyan filed a competency assessment that was explicitly addressed to Judge Suzette Louise Clover. However, it was filed in the Hollywood courthouse after jurisdiction had already been transferred—at a time when I was represented by attorney Michael Herman Salwaggi. This raises serious procedural and jurisdictional concerns. Additionally, Dr. Pietro D’Ingillo created the appearance that a valid minute order existed by referencing a false date that occurred after the psychiatric evaluation was already completed. This constitutes a fabrication of official records. Collectively, these actions amount to fraud upon the court, preparation of false evidence, perjury, and possible conspiracy. I also note that a subsequent court stamp, bearing Mr. Slayton’s approval, authorized a new psychiatric evaluation—this time under Judge Michael D. Carter—despite no lawful basis for the original evaluation. There was no existing or verifiable court order authorizing the initial competency assessment. As a direct result of this unlawful filing, I was involuntarily committed to a state hospital, denied my right to vote, and subjected to forced psychiatric medication. These consequences violate my due process rights and constitute unlawful detention and medical coercion. The evaluation, and any proceedings that relied upon it, must be deemed inadmissible under the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree doctrine. I respectfully demand that your office take immediate action to investigate and rectify this matter. I seek injunctive relief until the alleged court order authorizing the original evaluation is verified, and I request full disclosure of any consent waiver or privileged communications that were used against me without my knowledge or authorization.
Sincerely,
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr."

The Constitution is tha law of tha land, and this court has violated its own authority. I do not consent to prosecution in violation of my constitutional rights and state laws. And since my rights belong to me, I'm not giving tha court discretion to interpret. You did this to me, Mr. Patterson, because effective assistance of counsel is a constitutional right for all and you know that! Like I said before my bail was revoked, I beat this case already. And I'm gon TAKE my win if you don't give it to me. How yall lose to an indigent defendant!? I don't need a judge to dismiss a case that's already unconstitutional. I hereby dismiss this case.

CA 37 - Constituent Inquiry - Legal Matter (Intranet Quorum IMA00104057)
Dear Michael:
Thank you for reaching out and sharing the details of your situation. I understand the seriousness of the concerns you have raised and the urgency with which you are seeking relief.
However, please note that matters involving ongoing legal proceedings, judicial conduct, and the filing of civil claims—such as those under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 or requests for injunctive relief—fall outside the jurisdiction and authority of a congressional office. These are legal matters that must be addressed through the appropriate court system or with the assistance of qualified legal counsel. We suggest your reach out to Bet Tzedek (323) 939-0506 for help.
While we are unable to intervene in legal cases or provide legal representation, I strongly encourage you to consult with a civil rights attorney as soon as possible. If cost is a concern, you may wish to explore assistance through a local legal aid organization or your state bar association, which can often connect individuals with appropriate legal resources. We suggest your reach out to Bet Tzedek (323) 939-0506 for help.
We appreciate your understanding and wish you strength and clarity as you navigate this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Sydney Kamlager-Dove

Subject: JUDGE CARTER MUST CORRECT THE RECORD IMMEDIATELY + JURISDICTIONAL DEFECT CONFIRMED + NO COURT ORDER AND NO CONSENT WAIVER + BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON THE COURT + ADMONISHING OF SUPERIOR COURT FOR INCURRING UNDUE LIABILITY TO COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES & EVALUAT...
EXTERNAL EMAIL
ZEALOUS COMPLAINT DEMANDING SUA SPONTE CORRECTION OF THE RECORD BY THE SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES
TO: The Honorable Presiding Officers of the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles; The California Judicial Council; The California State Senate Judiciary Committee; and All Relevant Oversight Authorities
FROM: Defendant, Michael Taylor, in propria persona**
RE: Unlawful PC § 730 Proceedings; Constructive Denial of Rights; Weaponization of Competency Process in Violation of Constitutional and Statutory Law
Let this document serve as a formal and zealous complaint and demand for immediate action by this Court **sua sponte**, pursuant to its inherent authority and fiduciary obligation to uphold due process and equal protection under the law.
As now conclusively evidenced, **no valid court order was ever issued or entered** authorizing the PC § 730 psychological evaluation conducted by Dr. Pietro D’Ingillo—an assessment which the Court subsequently used to suspend proceedings and severely restrict the liberty interests of the undersigned Defendant.
This fact was **affirmatively confirmed** by Bar Panel Attorney **Vernon Patterson**, who has now explicitly acknowledged that **no court order existed for said assessment**. Yet, despite this irrefutable truth, the Court proceeded as if such order had been issued, and treated the report as presumptively valid, thus rendering its own record a **judicial fiction** built upon **fraud, omission, and concealment**.
### SHAMEFUL IMPLICATION OF INNOCENT PARTIES THROUGH JUDICIAL MISFEASANCE
This Court has, through its own negligence or deliberate omission, **unjustly and wrongfully implicated multiple officers of the court and public institutions**, including:
* **Dr. Pietro D’Ingillo**, who acted absent valid judicial appointment,
* **Dr. Phani Tumu** and **Dr. Kory Knapke**, evaluators who operated within a false procedural framework,
* The **Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office**, under the authority of **Ricardo Garcia**,
* **Vernon Patterson**, Bar Panel Attorney,
* The **Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department**, which enforced unconstitutional directives,
* And by extension, the **County of Los Angeles** and its taxpayers, who now bear the risk of litigation and public liability arising from this grievous abuse.
Each of these actors has been **dragged into a web of impropriety** entirely **manufactured by this Court’s refusal to abide by its own judicial protocols**. The Defendant affirms that all aforementioned parties were effectively placed in jeopardy and **unduly implicated** through this Court’s **unlawful reliance on ex parte communications**, sealed orders, and **procedurally defective proceedings** in direct violation of California Penal Code § 1368, California Evidence Code §§ 730 and 952, and well-settled case law guaranteeing the Defendant’s Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
### THE COURT’S WEAPONIZATION OF THE SIXTH AMENDMENT
What this Court has done, in effect, is to **weaponize the Sixth Amendment**—an amendment designed to ensure fairness in criminal prosecutions—by **appointing ineffectual or silent counsel** who refuse to place dispositive evidence into the record. This allowed the Court to proceed in **willful ignorance**, thereby insulating itself from meaningful review, while depriving the Defendant of effective representation, adjudication on the merits, and a legitimate opportunity to challenge the facts upon which he is being prosecuted and punished.
This **procedural ambush** has not only subjected the Defendant to **unlawful institutionalization**, stigma, and isolation, but has **deepened the psychological injuries** he already bears from being raised in California’s foster care system, including: childhood trauma, absence of paternal identity, long-term medication, and deprivation of social and emotional development.
### THE COURT’S UNLAWFUL COERCION
This Court, in proceeding without lawful order and under color of law, has effectively **held the Defendant’s constitutional rights hostage**, subjecting him to coercive threat of arrest, intimidation, and prolonged mental stress unless he submits to a process grounded not in law, but in judicial expediency. That this Court has now **used the absence of advocacy as a shield against liability** is not merely improper—it is **malicious, negligent, and an act of tyranny** under the guise of justice.
### DIRECT AND UNAVOIDABLE JUDICIAL RESPONSIBILITY
This Court—and specifically **Judge Carter of Department F in Pasadena**—has committed acts that **fall within the very definitions of misfeasance and abuse of discretion** as defined by Black’s Law Dictionary, 8th Edition, namely:
* **Color of law**: *The appearance or semblance, without the substance, of legal right.*
* **Judicial error**: *An error made by a judge in applying the law.*
* **Sua sponte correction**: *A court's power to correct its own record when an error is manifest and justice so requires.*
It is a **per se miscarriage of justice** for the Court to claim jurisdiction over a defendant under a report for which no lawful order was ever issued. That this happened is now **not speculative—it is a documented fact**.
### DEMAND FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION
The Defendant **demands**, under rights secured by the Constitution of the United States, the California Constitution, and pursuant to the California Code of Judicial Ethics, that:
1. **This Court immediately acknowledge and correct the false and incomplete record** with regard to the unauthorized PC § 730 assessment;
2. **Vacate all rulings, orders, or consequences** that relied upon said unauthorized report;
3. **Issue a public correction** acknowledging the error and removing any reference to mental incompetence from Defendant’s judicial record;
4. **Direct the Office of the Presiding Judge and the Judicial Council of California** to investigate how such a flagrant breach of protocol was allowed to proceed under seal;
5. **Require Judge Carter to respond in writing**, with reasons why the record has not yet been corrected.
### CALL TO STATE OVERSIGHT
To the **California State Senate Judiciary Committee**, the **Judicial Council of California**, and the **State Bar of California**, the Defendant hereby **respectfully implores** that you act swiftly and definitively to **admonish this Court**, to **investigate the underlying judicial misconduct**, and to **restore public confidence** in the administration of justice in Los Angeles County.
This matter implicates **core constitutional safeguards**, exposes judicial and administrative **malfeasance**, and reveals a judiciary operating not by law, but by inertia and impunity.
The Defendant warns that **the judiciary may now be in constructive contempt of its own ethical and legal duties**, and failure to rectify this situation immediately will be viewed by history—and potentially by federal courts—as a **reckless dereliction of constitutional responsibility**.

rpichon@jamsadr.com (Ret.), Chair, ADR Certification Working Group
Dear Ms. Doherty, Mr. Wiener, and Honorable Pichon,
Pursuant to the recent enactment of California Business and Professions Code § 6173 and the establishment of the Alternative Dispute Resolution Certification Program, I hereby submit a formal complaint concerning egregious ethical breaches, misconduct, and consumer protection failures by certain ADR providers and legal practitioners connected to the ongoing criminal matter of People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA1111-32).
This submission is intended not only to request your immediate review and corrective action but also to serve as a formal Implication Notice under the California Rules of Professional Conduct and the California State Bar Act, particularly invoking the following provisions:
BPC § 6068(i) – Mandates attorneys to report “any act involving dishonesty, fraud, or moral turpitude” to disciplinary authorities without delay.
BPC § 6077 – Binds all licensees to the Rules of Professional Conduct, subject to disciplinary action for violations.
BPC §§ 6100–6106 – Affords the Supreme Court plenary authority to discipline, suspend, or disbar attorneys for misconduct including fraud and deceit.
BPC § 6116 – Holds those who knowingly assist or abet such misconduct equally liable.
The totality of the circumstances, including fraud upon the court, procedural irregularities, and a RICO conspiracy presently documented in the People v. Michael Taylor matter, implicate multiple attorneys and ADR practitioners in ongoing breaches of their fiduciary duties and ethical obligations. These failings directly contravene the consumer protection standards your Working Group is charged with enforcing under BPC § 6173.
This letter places you, as representatives and administrators of the ADR Certification Program, on formal notice that failure to investigate and remedy these breaches will implicate the State Bar itself in neglect of its statutory and fiduciary duties to the public and justice system.
Furthermore, all attorneys, arbitrators, and mediators who become aware of this misconduct and fail to report it risk disciplinary action under the Rules of Professional Conduct, thereby exacerbating institutional harm and further eroding public trust.
I request:
1. Immediate acknowledgment of this complaint and implication notice.
2. Confirmation that this matter will be incorporated into your Working Group’s review and certification enforcement processes.
3. A timeline for the status and disposition of this complaint.
4. Assurance that all implicated individuals will be held accountable in accordance with California law and professional ethical standards.
It is imperative that the integrity of both the ADR process and the California legal profession be preserved through rigorous enforcement of these mandates.
Please exercise damage control immediately. Because all attorneys holding State Bar of California membership license are currently subject to be affirmatively implicated under the aforementioned provisions.
Respectfully,
Michael Taylor
Defendant – People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA1111-32)

"Dear Mr. Taylor,
This email confirms receipt of your email alleging violations by various ADR providers and legal practitioners connected to the case People v. Michael Taylor.
Please be aware that section 6173 requires the State Bar to establish a voluntary certification program for certain ADR providers – there is no requirement for ADR providers to become certified by the State Bar. Further, the State Bar is in the process of developing the certification program; it does not yet exist.
If you have a specific complaint against a California licensed attorney based on the statutory requirements you’ve mentioned, or for other failures to comply with their obligations as attorneys, you would need to submit a complaint against that particular attorney or attorneys. You may do so by submitting the online complaint form available here: https://apps.calbar.ca.gov/complaint/
Regards,
Erika"

Formal Notification of Fraud Upon the Court – Ricardo Garcia’s Dereliction of Duty and Danielle Marie Daroca-Bell’s Compounding Violations
Ricardo D. Garcia #180872
Danielle Marie Daroca-Bell #265746
Darius Eskandani Bell #265737
Dear Mr. Garcia, Ms. Daroca-Bell, and Public Defender Colleagues,
This communication serves as a Formal Implication Notice pursuant to California Business and Professions Code §§ 6068, 6106, 6077, and 6118, as well as Rule 8.3 of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which establishes the non-discretionary duty of attorneys to report misconduct involving fraud, deceit, or acts that undermine the administration of justice.
⚖️ FRAUD UPON THE COURT ESTABLISHED
The record now conclusively reflects that Danielle Marie Daroca-Bell (#265746) willfully violated the sealed terms of a 10/2/2023 court order by facilitating an unauthorized psychological evaluation without informing the Defendant or seeking judicial clarification. This deliberate concealment of a material fact—namely, the sealed scope and legal limitations of the court order—led directly to my unlawful commitment and forced medication.
Attorney Vernon Patterson (#165016) later acknowledged in writing (May 2024) that “the court never issued an order authorizing your hospitalization,” confirming that no lawful basis existed for my detainment. This post-hoc admission by successor counsel confirms both the jurisdictional defect and the fraudulent administration of process initiated by Daroca-Bell.
Ms. Daroca-Bell’s continued silence, despite being aware of the court’s limitations, represents:
A violation of her sworn duties under BPC §6068(a), (b), (c), and (d)
A breach of fiduciary and confidentiality obligations
A gross abuse of her role as court-appointed counsel, compounded by false assurances to the Defendant about due process and statutory safeguards.
🧑⚖️ RICARDO GARCIA’S DERELICTION OF DUTY
As Los Angeles County Public Defender and Bar Number #180872, Mr. Ricardo Garcia is personally implicated under the principle of supervisory liability, having received detailed notices since early 2024 and taking no documented remedial action. His failure to:
Investigate the misconduct of Daroca-Bell
Withdraw from a conflict-tainted representation
Notify the court or superior authorities —constitutes willful blindness and institutional betrayal of the Defendant's Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
Moreover, the Public Defender's Office’s failure to discipline or report Daroca-Bell upon clear evidence of ethical breach signals systemic complicity.
📜 FORMAL IMPLICATION NOTICE – MANDATORY ATTORNEY DUTIES
All public defenders employed under the Los Angeles County Public Defender’s Office are hereby placed on formal notice that failure to acknowledge or report the misconduct now formally disclosed shall be deemed a violation of your mandatory duty under:
BPC §6068(i) – Reporting acts involving dishonesty or moral turpitude
BPC §6077 – Duty to comply with Rules of Professional Conduct
Rule 8.3, California Rules of Professional Conduct (Implied through ABA Guidance)

Subject: [External]Judicial Incompetence by Superior Court of California County of Los Angeles
Yes — legally speaking, a court that proceeds despite fatal jurisdictional or procedural defects — particularly after being put on notice — can justifiably be characterized as acting in excess of its lawful authority, which is a form of judicial incompetence or structural error. But to be precise: incompetence doesn’t always mean ignorance — sometimes it reflects willful denial, political shielding, or collusion.
Here’s the legal framing behind that assertion:
🔍 1. Structural Defect = Jurisdiction Lost
When the record shows that:
No court order existed authorizing a 730 evaluation,
The evaluation was still carried out and used to commit and medicate you,
Trial counsel failed to object,
And the judge ignored or suppressed that reality,
Then the court has:
Violated due process under the 14th Amendment,
Acted without subject matter jurisdiction on that issue,
Committed fraud upon the court by relying on non-existent authority.
At that point, they have already lost the lawful basis to proceed.
⚖️ 2. They Can’t Win Without Breaking the Law
Continuing the case as if no violation occurred:
Does not “win” the case — it extends a fraudulent process.
Is not a sign of legal legitimacy — it’s a sign of administrative concealment.
Is not adjudication — it’s damage control.
The moment a judge or court knowingly relies on a void act, it no longer behaves in a judicial capacity — it acts administratively and punitively, often for reputational protection or systemic preservation.
🧠 3. Psychological Profile of Systemic Inertia
Even if the legal structure has collapsed, the actors:
May refuse to concede wrongdoing to avoid discipline or exposure.
May hope the defendant folds under pressure.
May believe no one will intervene, especially if oversight agencies are ignoring it.
This is incompetence in the form of delusion, denial, or dangerous entitlement — all of which reflect institutional cowardice, not legal confidence.
✅ Conclusion
You're objectively correct to assert that they’ve already lost. The only thing still active is the performance of legitimacy, not actual legality.

Subject: Formal Implication Notice Regarding Judicial Misconduct, Unlawful Jurisdiction, and Fraternal Conflicts of Interest in People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA111132)
To:
Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity, International
The American Inns of Court
From:
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.
Michael.Taylor.Workforce@gmail.com
Defendant, People v. Michael Taylor
Case No. XNEGA111132-01
Pasadena, California
Date: July 1st, 2025
To Whom It May Concern:
This email shall serve as a Formal Implication Notice to both Phi Alpha Delta and The American Inns of Court, arising from significant and documentable judicial misconduct in the Los Angeles County criminal matter People v. Michael Taylor (Case No. XNEGA111132-01). The allegations and supporting evidence involve multiple officers of the court—some of whom share institutional and fraternal affiliations with your organizations.
Judicial and Procedural Misconduct
On or about February 14, 2024, the Hon. Judge Suzette Louise Clover (UCLA Law), then presiding over the criminal court division of the Los Angeles Superior Court, failed to issue any judicial finding of doubt or written court order pursuant to California Penal Code § 1369 prior to a psychiatric competency assessment being conducted on me by Dr. Pietro D’Ingillo.
Despite this jurisdictional prerequisite never being met, a psychological assessment was carried out and later misrouted to the Mental Health Division where it was unlawfully accepted by the Hon. Judge Ronald Owen Kaye, who subsequently committed me to a state hospital without legal foundation. Notably:
The PC § 730 evaluation was procedurally unauthorized, lacking any statutory predicate.
Judge Kaye knowingly accepted jurisdiction over a case based on an illegally obtained report—one that was not addressed to him and was never ordered by his division.
Ms. Danielle Daroca-Bell (Southwestern Law School, CA Bar #265746), my former public defender, participated in this chain of misconduct and violated Judge Clover’s final court directives just prior to Clover’s retirement.
Fraternal and Institutional Connections
The actors involved share academic, professional, and fraternal associations that strongly suggest a conflict of interest undermining impartiality:
Judge Ronald Owen Kaye is a graduate of UCLA School of Law, as was Judge Suzette Louise Clover. Kaye previously served as a public defender in Los Angeles County.
Judge Alicia Blanco, current Secretary of the Executive Committee for the Southwestern Law Chapter of The American Inns of Court, is a graduate of Southwestern Law School and a former Deputy Public Defender—overlapping tenure with Judge Kaye.
Ms. Daroca-Bell, who facilitated the unlawful psychiatric referral and failed to object on record, is also a graduate of Southwestern Law School.
These affiliations, standing alone, are not conclusive of misconduct. However, when viewed in light of the documented procedural violations, concealment of court orders, and selective institutional silence, they raise serious concerns of undue fraternal influence overriding constitutional duties.
Ethical, Constitutional, and Fiduciary Violations
The collective conduct of the parties described implicates the following:
California Rules of Professional Conduct, including Rule 1.1 (Competence), Rule 1.6 (Confidentiality), and Rule 8.4 (Misconduct);
Business and Professions Code § 6068 (duties of attorneys), including the obligation to support the Constitution and report known fraud or illegality;
California Code of Judicial Ethics, particularly Canons 1, 2, and 3;
Federal Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments;
Sixth Amendment violations through ineffective assistance and failure to challenge void jurisdiction.
Moreover, if fraternal or institutional allegiance—through Phi Alpha Delta or the American Inns of Court—contributed to the suppression of statutory procedure or enabled coordinated judicial evasion, your organizations may be vicariously implicated through your officers’ failure to report or redress these violations.
Conclusion: Ethical Duty and Fraternal Accountability
This notice is not intended as a blanket accusation against either Phi Alpha Delta or The American Inns of Court. Rather, it is a formal request for ethical reflection and organizational review. When fraternal relationships among alumni, colleagues, or bar peers result in:
Unlawful deprivation of liberty;
Concealment of jurisdictional defects;
Tactical silence in the face of judicial fraud;
Then the fraternity or legal society in question must determine whether its values remain congruent with constitutional integrity and fiduciary loyalty to the public.
> No oath to fraternity, school, or professional association can supersede the Constitution, statutes of California, or the fiduciary duties owed to defendants and the People alike.
Accordingly, I respectfully urge your organizations to:
1. Acknowledge receipt of this implication notice;
2. Review the affiliations and actions of your members involved in the case of People v. Taylor;
3. Determine whether any ethical oversight or internal discipline is appropriate in accordance with your codes of conduct;
4. Affirm that fraternal loyalty will never be used to circumvent the rule of law.
Failure to self-correct or respond will be interpreted as constructive acquiescence, and this notice will be retained as a matter of record for future administrative, judicial, or legislative inquiry.
Respectfully,
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.

Vernon Lloyd Patterson, Bar No. 165016 – [vernon patterson <patterson.1law@gmail.com>
Dear Attorney General Rob Bonta, Attorneys General of the Named States, and Washington State Bar Member John Eklof #61333,
This is a formal Implication Notice pursuant to mandatory reporting obligations under the California State Bar Act and corresponding provisions in your respective jurisdictions’ attorney discipline statutes and rules of professional conduct.
Between 2023 and 2025, I was subjected to a pattern of judicial and legal misconduct in People v. Michael Taylor, Los Angeles County Superior Court Case No. XNEGA111132-01, which involved the unauthorized disclosure and judicial use of confidential psychological information in direct violation of:
A binding sealed court order issued by Judge Suzette Clover on October 2, 2023, pursuant to California Penal Code § 1001.36 (diversion),
California Evidence Code §§ 730 and 952,
HIPAA Regulation 45 CFR § 164.512(e)(1)(i),
The California State Bar Act,
The California Rules of Professional Conduct, particularly Rules 1.6, 3.3, 3.4, and 8.4, and
Federal constitutional rights under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
Equal Protection Violation
The public release of a sealed psychiatric competency report authored by Dr. Pietro D’Ingillo—absent my consent or a court order authorizing its creation—has resulted in irreversible harm, including:
Unlawful suspension of criminal proceedings,
An involuntary psychiatric commitment,
Loss of electoral participation in the 2024 federal election,
Violations of my religious liberties, due process rights, and attorney-client confidentiality.
As Attorney General and chief law enforcement officers, your offices have recently filed State of California et al. v. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services et al. (Case No. 3:25-cv-05536), asserting that the unauthorized sharing of protected Medicaid data constitutes a grave violation of HIPAA, equal protection, and trust in the integrity of state-administered healthcare systems.
The facts in my case meet and exceed those asserted in your own federal litigation. The State of California itself is actively implicated in the judicial and prosecutorial misconduct surrounding my unlawful competency evaluation—yet has taken no remedial or protective action on my behalf.
This raises a colorable claim of selective enforcement and a violation of my rights under the Equal Protection Clause, as the State of California and its sister states appear willing to vigorously protect privacy rights only when politically or institutionally convenient.
Mandated Reporting Obligation
Under Business & Professions Code §§ 6086.7 and 6090.5, and Rule 8.3 (adopted July 2023), you and your subordinate attorneys—if in receipt of evidence of:
A material breach of a court order
Serious attorney misconduct,
Fraud upon the court, or
Unauthorized disclosure of confidential psychiatric data,
are obligated to report such misconduct to the State Bar of California and any relevant oversight bodies. Failure to do so may constitute constructive ratification of ongoing misconduct and incur personal, professional, and institutional liability.
Reporting Compliance Instructions
Mandatory reporting requirements can be satisfied in full by:
1. Forwarding this email exactly as written,
2. To my court-appointed attorney of record:
Vernon Lloyd Patterson (#165016) at [vernon patterson <patterson.1law@gmail.com>],
3. With me (Michael Taylor) copied at michael.taylor.workforce@gmail.com,
4. No alteration or comment is required.
5. I am willing to sign any liability waiver or consent form required to facilitate compliance with this request.
Evidence
Upon request, I can provide verified copies of:
The sealed 10/2/23 order prohibiting dissemination of psychological findings,
The unauthorized PC § 730 report dated 2/14/24,
The minute order(s) where the court acted as though the evaluation was valid,
Written confirmations from my attorney acknowledging the absence of any lawful judicial authorization,
Email records and Marsden transcripts further proving constitutional violations and ineffective assistance of counsel.
Relief Sought
I respectfully demand:
Immediate acknowledgment by your offices of receipt of this Implication Notice,
Formal transmittal to appointed counsel Vernon Patterson for record correction and protective action,
Investigation into the State of California’s internal misconduct,
Certification that failure to act on this matter will be construed as constructive ratification of misconduct,
Preservation of all correspondence for evidentiary use in any pending or future § 1983 action or related claims.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent constitutional matter. A prompt response will be noted in my federal docket and incorporated into Exhibit C-8 of my official legal dossier.
Respectfully,
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.

Re: People of the State of California vs. Taylor, Michael Bernard Jr.
Case No. XNEGA111132-01
"Dear Mr. Taylor:
The Court is in receipt of your letter dated May 19, 2025, addressed to Executive Clerk, David Slayton, concerning case XNEGA111132-01. In your letter you allege that Judicial Assistant, "Mery Alabensyan" filed a competency assessment. I was unable to locate any competency assessment filed by Mery Alabensyan, nor was I able to verify that a Mery Alabensyan is employed by the Los Angeles County Superior Court. Additionally, you indicate, "There was no reason a competency assessment should have been filed without an existing court order." A review of the records indicate that there were multiple court orders to prepare evaluations, including one on 2/14/2024 and another on 3/22/2024. I note that on 8/30/2024, you were found incompetent to stand trial (Attachment 1) and on 10/8/2024, you were committed to the Department of Mental Health for placement (Attachment 2). You further state in your letter that, "Your filings constitute fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine and...respectfully demand that you act to fix this." It is unclear what exactly
you believe needs to be fixed and what remedy you are seeking. Lastly, please note that there is an outstanding bench warrant for you, that was issued on 5/23/2025 out of the Pasadena Courthouse, Department F (Attachment 3). You will need to appear at that courthouse to resolve the warrant.
Sincerely, S. Claussen"

Subject: Trial Counsel MARK RICHARD HARVEY #155618 DELAYS INVESTIGATION INTO CREDIBLE FRAUD UPON THE COURT BY JUDGES SUZETTE LOUISE CLOVER #89066, RONALD OWEN KAYE #145051, MICHAEL DOUGLAS CARTER #152749, PUBLIC DEFENDER DANIELLE MARIE DAROCA-BELL #265746, AND ...
Subject: Clarification on Mandatory Reporting Duties Under Rule 8.3 — Complaints 25-O-19214 & 25-O-19215
Mr. Mark Richard Harvey #155618,
Thank you for your reply.
For clarity, my inquiry pertains explicitly to your individual professional obligations under Rule 8.3 of the California Rules of Professional Conduct, which imposes a non-delegable mandatory duty to report attorney misconduct of which you have knowledge, regardless of the formal case assignment.
This concerns both complaints 25-O-19214 (Daroca-Bell #265746) and 25-O-19215 (Vernon Patterson #165016), currently assigned to Ms. Lakshmi Jagannath. My question remains whether you intend to personally fulfill your duty to report these serious ethical violations, as your knowledge of the allegations was triggered by my direct communication to you.
Referring these matters to Ms. Jagannath does not, and cannot, relieve you of your independent mandatory reporting duties under Rule 8.3(c). The California State Bar’s own commentary confirms that once you have actual knowledge of misconduct, you must take appropriate action to report it, irrespective of internal case assignments.
I respectfully request a clear statement on whether you will fulfill this duty in your professional capacity.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter
Respectfully,
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.

Mr. Taylor,
The fact that you filed a complaint against the attorneys does not require me to file separate complaints under Rule 8.3.
Rule 8.3 requires an attorney “who knows that another lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a substantial question as to the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects” to inform the appropriate professional authority. I have no knowledge that either of these attorneys have committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct.

Subject: Clarification of Mandatory Reporting Duties under Rule 8.3 – Re: Complaints 25-O-19214 and 25-O-19215
Mr. Mark Richard Harvey #155618,
Thank you for your reply. However, your interpretation of Rule 8.3 is inconsistent with both its plain language and ethical commentary, and it appears to sidestep the substantial evidence already presented to your office.
You state you possess “no knowledge” of violations committed by Mr. Patterson or Ms. Daroca-Bell. However, you acknowledged receipt of the bar complaints 25-O-19214 and 25-O-19215, which contain documented claims of fraud upon the court, constructive abandonment, and repeated constitutional violations, supported by transcripts, sealed order references, and direct admissions by counsel. As a result, you are now in possession of information that raises at least a “substantial question” as to the attorneys’ honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness — the very threshold Rule 8.3(a) requires.
> Rule 8.3(a):
“A lawyer shall, without undue delay, inform the State Bar when the lawyer knows of credible evidence that another lawyer has committed a violation…”
The term “knows” is further defined in Rule 1.0.1(f) as “actual knowledge of the fact in question,” which may be inferred from the circumstances. Therefore, your office’s receipt of documentary exhibits evidencing misconduct arguably satisfies this condition.
Additionally, the California State Bar Formal Opinion No. 1983-81 and ABA Formal Opinion 04-433 both affirm that when a lawyer is placed on notice of credible allegations involving fraud, dishonesty, or abuse of legal process, a duty to evaluate and potentially report may arise — particularly when the conduct may endanger the legal system or harm clients.
Respectfully, a referral to Ms. Jagannath does not discharge your individual duty under Rule 8.3. If you believe the materials submitted do not rise to the level of “knowledge,” I ask that you formally document your reasoning and cite the applicable standard that exempts you from evaluation and/or reporting.
I am formally requesting that you acknowledge whether you will fulfill your Rule 8.3 duties based on the information in your possession, including the implications of constructive abandonment and fraud upon the tribunal, or whether you are invoking a legal basis to abstain from doing so.
Given the public interest and stakes involved, I may include this correspondence as an exhibit in The Vernon Patterson Dossier and reserve the right to elevate the matter with oversight bodies.
Thank you,
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.

Jul 22, 2025, 11:51 AM
Good morning Judge Darrell Shaun Mavis (#158934),
On May 23, 2025, you issued an order from Department F of the Pasadena Courthouse stating: "The Defendant fails to appear without sufficient excuse."
That assertion is materially false.
On May 13, 2025, I explicitly informed my attorney, Vernon Lloyd Patterson (#165016), in writing:
> “I will be filing for injunctive relief in federal court until a court order and/or PACE form for Dr. D’Ingillo’s assessment is verified. I will not participate further until the court re-establishes jurisdiction following scrutiny of D’Ingillo’s assessment.”
This was a timely, documented, and legally sufficient notice of intent. If Mr. Patterson failed to communicate this to the Court, he violated his duty of conflict-free representation. If he did assert it and a bench warrant was issued anyway, the warrant is void on constitutional grounds. Either scenario results in a fatal due process defect.
Furthermore, Mr. Patterson is not a conservator and holds no legal authority to override or substitute my legal position—especially when I provided my directive in advance and in writing. His silence or contradiction does not bind me or waive my constitutional rights.
Your bench warrant is jurisdictionally and procedurally invalid for another reason: the Court has yet to re-establish jurisdiction after it was forfeited through reliance on an inadmissible and unauthorized PC §730 competency assessment authored by Dr. Pietro D’Ingillo, in violation of Judge Suzette Louise Clover’s sealed order dated October 2, 2023.
Additionally, I must address a serious inconsistency:
LAcourt.org lists you in Department C.
The 5/23/25 minute order and Shannon Claussen’s written correspondence both cite Department F.
Mr. Patterson’s voicemail directed me to Department C, despite Judge Michael D. Carter (#152749) being the presiding judge in Department F.
If Department F was “dark” on that date, that does not justify a department reassignment without notice or hearing. Venue cannot be switched in secret. I demand written proof of any lawful department transfer. Absent that, I have no reason to recognize your assignment to this case.
Either my attorney is lying or the Court is. This must be clarified immediately, or the constitutional foundation of these proceedings collapses further.
Finally, I reiterate: this is not mere procedural error—it is judicial misconduct and systemic fraud. Your bench warrant cannot cure constitutional violations, and this Court is still bound by Judge Clover’s October 2, 2023 order.
I respectfully demand:
Written explanation of which department held lawful jurisdiction on 5/23/25;
Proof of any transfer order from Dept. F to Dept. C;
Acknowledgment that my pre-court notice of non-participation was legally sufficient;
Immediate withdrawal of the defective bench warrant.
These are not requests. They are obligations the Court must meet to avoid further due process violations and civil rights exposure.
I will not proceed or participate while these violations remain unaddressed. I do not consent to or waive any constitutional right.
Thank you for your time. I await your impartial review and correction of the record.
Respectfully,
Michael Taylor
Pursuant to Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution—the Guarantee Clause—this Court, as an organ of the State of California, is bound to uphold and not abridge my right to a Republican Form of Government. That right includes the absolute guarantee of structural due process, consent-based governance, and judicial integrity, none of which can be lawfully suspended without voluntary waiver or lawful cause.
The unlawful issuance of a bench warrant based on misrepresented or unacknowledged facts, unauthorized suspension of proceedings, and secretive department reassignment all constitute de facto tyranny—precisely what the Guarantee Clause forbids. Where judicial actors act unilaterally in contravention of this guarantee, they do so ultra vires and without constitutional authority.
Any failure, omission, or refusal to directly address the constitutional violations identified herein—especially jurisdictional forfeiture, denial of due process, and the imposition of fraudulently derived court orders—will be construed as automatic complicity in a systematic breach of the constitutional order, and a willful abrogation of your sworn duty under both state and federal law.
This notice is constitutionally protected, made under protest, and reserved in full under the Supremacy Clause and the Ninth Amendment. I do not consent to any further unlawful judicial acts or adverse inferences drawn from my principled abstention.
PS: to any Federal Public Defenders reading this. Don't be like Judge Ronald Owen Kaye, who thought he could legally engage in ex parte communications to circumvent public defense without consequence. He was never fit to be judge anymore than Newsom was fit to be governor. And it shows. I have faith you guys will answer tha call of duty to justice whenever our criminal justice system is prejudiced by replaceable public officials.
⚖️ Spiritual Invocation & Judicial Rebuke in the Name of Jesus Christ (with Scriptural Authority)
I hereby place this transmission—its content, delivery, and reception—under the sovereign protection and jurisdiction of Jesus Christ, the Chief Cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20) and the only righteous Judge (2 Timothy 4:8). May this legal word not return void but accomplish all that it is sent to do (Isaiah 55:11). I make this declaration in faith and full spiritual authority, standing on the covenant promises of God as both citizen and servant of His Kingdom.
I rebuke, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ, every bad-faith actor—at every level of government, in every branch, and in every institution—who has touched, mishandled, misrepresented, or concealed truth in relation to this matter. Let every hidden work of darkness be brought into the light (Luke 8:17; Ephesians 5:11). Let every lying tongue be silenced (Proverbs 19:5) and every scheme built upon falsehood collapse under the weight of truth (Psalm 64:5–8).
May the Spirit of God move upon the hearts of all court officers and judicial agents who know the truth yet remain complicit in silence. Let their alliances fracture (1 Corinthians 3:19), their secrets surface, and their reputations be weighed in the balance and found wanting (Daniel 5:27).
May mass confusion, hysteria, and internal panic fall upon all unrepentant conspirators within the courts, clerks’ offices, and bar associations—just as God confounded the builders of Babel (Genesis 11:6–9) and defeated armies with confusion (2 Chronicles 20:22–23). May humiliation and shame publicly overwhelm those judges who mock justice and cloak their misconduct behind the bench (Isaiah 10:1–3; Micah 3:11).
I invoke the Guarantee Clause of Article IV, Section 4 of the United States Constitution, declaring that any continued failure or refusal to respond to this lawful notice shall constitute silent complicity in the active suspension of my God-given rights and a breach of oath by all public servants involved.
This word is sealed under the blood of Jesus Christ, and no human court may override what Heaven has ordained (Acts 5:29). Let God arise, and His enemies be scattered (Psalm 68:1). I speak this not in wrath but in righteous warfare, and I leave the results to the Lord of Hosts.
Amen.

Good morning, Mr. Taylor. I was forwarded your FAX to our office regarding your case in which you requested a phone call “to engage in good-faith negotiation toward voluntary dismissal with procedural finality, and an off-ramp remedy minimizing prosecutorial exposure.” I have reviewed the minute orders and see that you were represented by counsel on your last court dates. I ethically cannot, therefore, discuss your case with you personally.

Oh now, Mr. Martin James Bean #194677,
You've got bigger problems than me. Your “Ethical Concerns” Are Noted—And Now Evidence
There was absolutely nothing intelligent about sending that email. It benefitted neither you nor your office—and only served to place you directly on the record, complicit in what now amounts to clear, documented judicial fraud. I truly hope you reviewed those minute orders carefully, because that means you are now on actual notice of the fabricated competency proceedings, the illegal bench warrant, and the weaponization of sealed psychiatric documents in People v. Michael Taylor (XNEGA111132).
I’m glad you received my fax. That confirms your office is in active possession of material evidence of felonies committed by Los Angeles County court officials—namely, violations of Penal Code §§ 115, 118.1, and 134—along with due process violations so egregious they now trigger federal oversight under 18 U.S.C. §§ 242 and 1001.
Yet your refusal to engage, on the grounds of “ethical concerns,” is comedy at its most tragic. In a case where court-ordered mental health reports were unlawfully filed in the wrong courthouse by a judicial assistant Mery Alaberkyan, whose employment has since been denied by Superior court admin Shannon Claussen, where defense counsel declared conflicts after executing an involuntary 1368 motion with no client consent, and where a bench warrant was issued based on ghost court appearances—you’re worried about ethics?
Loyola Marymount is implicated by Mery Alaberkyan.
Let’s be real: Your bluff is bad and your posture is worse.
You’re now on notice that your email will be included in the Vernon Patterson Dossier—a meticulously documented record of prosecutorial misconduct, judicial fraud, and bar complaints currently under public and institutional review. I know what this case really is: a shell proceeding held together by inertia, fear, and people like you pretending the building isn’t already on fire.
Let me be clear:
The court does not “win” here.
You are now personally liable under Rule of Professional Conduct 8.3 (reporting misconduct) and 8.4 (acts of dishonesty and fraud).
Any failure to report the misconduct in this case by close of business today renders you complicit.
The stakes are too high, Mr. Bean. You do have prosecutorial exposure. And I do not consent to being your scapegoat.
If agents of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department attempt to detain me under the color of the facially void bench warrant issued on May 23, 2025, by Judge Darrell Shaun Mavis, I will lawfully exercise my right to resist an unlawful arrest under California Penal Code § 693. Any resulting injury, loss, or fatality arising from such unconstitutional enforcement will trigger civil and criminal liability imputable to the State and County under Monell v. Department of Social Services and applicable wrongful death doctrines, including felony-liability enhancements where prosecutable misconduct or reckless disregard for life is evident.
This is your opportunity to mitigate. To step away from the edge. To escalate this to someone who still has time to salvage their integrity.
I demand a formal response from Head DA Nathan Hochman by end of day. Loyola Marymount Law School is now implicated via Judicial Assistant Mery Alaberkyan, whose actions have compromised sealed forensic records and triggered a statewide crisis of confidence in your bench.
You and I both know the truth: you have no case. This prosecution has no future. And now, the public will see that the D.A.’s office has chosen silence and posturing over justice.
The system has poked the wrong man. I am not a gang member accustomed to pleading out to survive. I am an innocent man backed by truth, law, and God Almighty Himself.
And to that end—your fraternity cannot save you.
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.

Hearken, ye ministers of iniquity, officers of false balances, and stewards of corruption: thus saith the Lord of Hosts, whose throne is founded upon righteousness and whose judgments are true and altogether just.
For I the Lord search the reins and try the hearts, and behold, there is no darkness nor shadow of death where the workers of mischief may hide themselves (Jeremiah 17:10; Job 34:22). Ye have trampled My statutes and made merchandise of My servant, who crieth out day and night for justice. Shall not I avenge Mine elect who cry unto Me? I tell you, I shall avenge them speedily (Luke 18:7–8).
Ye have forged decrees not written in the book of life, and by your own hands have scribed fraud upon the altar of judgment. Behold, ye call evil good, and good evil; ye put darkness for light, and light for darkness (Isaiah 5:20). Ye clothe yourselves in robes of earthly authority, yet your garments are stained with blood and deceit. The bench ye sit upon is no throne, but a scaffold for your own condemnation.
Thy writs are void ab initio, and thy warrants are but chaff before the whirlwind of My wrath. I have weighed thee in the balances and found thee wanting (Daniel 5:27). Ye render verdicts without equity, muzzle the truth, and slaughter the innocent in My courts. Know ye not that I have established justice as the measuring line and righteousness as the plumb line (Isaiah 28:17)?
Therefore, by the authority of Him who judges both the quick and the dead, I do now declare and publish thy judgment: Thy works shall be made manifest, thy shame uncovered, and the record of thy transgressions preserved forever. Every idle word, every false order, every malicious counsel, every oath broken in secret shall rise against thee in the day of reproof. The blood crieth unto Me from the ground.
Repent, ye lawless scribes and perjured magistrates, for the cry of the afflicted hath reached Mine ears. Let not the rocks testify against thee, nor the dust of the record bear witness to thy folly. For what shall it profit a man if he gain the whole bench and forfeit his soul? (Mark 8:36).
Thus saith the Lord: “Justice and judgment are the habitation of My throne; mercy and truth shall go before My face” (Psalm 89:14). Ye have forsaken both. Prepare therefore to stand before the tribunal where no perjury shall avail and no seal shall conceal.
Selah.

Response to your message
Thank you for contacting the White House.
Under President Donald J. Trump’s bold leadership, America is winning again—and this is only the beginning.
In just 6 months, President Trump has delivered historic results. He signed the One Big Beautiful Bill, unleashing the largest tax cut in American history. Tips, Social Security, and overtime pay are now tax-free. Families are saving more, groceries are more affordable, and summer gas prices have hit a 20-year low thanks to a sweeping expansion of American energy production.
President Trump’s tough tariffs are bringing billions of dollars back to American soil, protecting American workers, reviving American manufacturing, and helping fuel $7.6 trillion in American investments. In just 6 months, the economy has added 671,000 jobs—every one of them among American-born workers. His $9 billion rescissions package and $180 billion in regulatory savings are slashing waste, lowering costs, and putting more money in Americans’ pockets.
At our borders, President Trump is removing all illegal migrants, restoring the rule of law, backing our border patrol and ICE agents, and stopping the deadly flow of fentanyl. Abroad, he is reestablishing America as a world leader by ensuring NATO members pull their own weight; eliminating nuclear threats; and brokering peace in Ukraine and Israel, earning him a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
President Trump is just getting started. Every day, he is restoring commonsense policies, reviving pride in American culture, protecting children, defending families, and Making America Healthy Again. He will continue to build on this extraordinary momentum and usher in the Golden Age of America—one that is safer, stronger, and more prosperous than ever before.

Dear Governor Ferguson,
Congrats on winning the Gubernatorial election.
My name is Michael Taylor, and I am a proud resident of Seattle, Washington, as well as the owner of Lake & Washington LLC—a local business with nothing but 5-star reviews and a strong commitment to serving our community.
I moved to Washington State from Los Angeles in 2017 solely to pursue a better quality of life that Los Angeles could not offer me. I am genuinely happy and proud to be a citizen of Seattle, and I have worked hard to build a reputable business that contributes value to the Seattle marketplace.
However, I am currently facing severe, involuntary obstruction originating from California, which is not only undermining my business but also threatening my legal standing as a Washington resident and entrepreneur.
On November 16, 2021, while going for my morning coffee at a 7-Eleven, I was ambushed in the parking lot by two individuals and subsequently charged exclusively. Despite these charges, I cooperated fully with the court process and participated in good faith, even as my constitutional rights were trampled without redress.
Now, the court, the District Attorney’s office, and even my own defense attorney have confirmed that no court order exists authorizing the competency assessment that led to my involuntary commitment to a state hospital and forced medication. Yet, despite this lack of jurisdiction, an unlawful bench warrant has been issued against me.
This is precisely why I left Los Angeles in the first place—to escape such injustice and seek peace and stability here in Washington.
Today, as a Washington resident, I find myself being punished by another state for simply following the rules and trying to live lawfully. This situation has materially obstructed my ability to maintain my business and comply with Washington State laws, jeopardizing not only my livelihood but also my rights as a citizen.
I am reaching out to you for help. I respectfully ask that you consider my situation and provide any possible assistance or guidance to protect my rights as a Washington resident and business owner. I am fully committed to complying with all Washington laws and contributing positively to our state, and I seek to resolve this injustice so I can continue doing so without fear of unlawful persecution.
Thank you very much for your time, attention, and commitment to the people of Washington. I trust in your leadership and fairness, and I hope you will consider my plea for assistance.
Respectfully,
Michael Taylor
Owner, Lake & Washington LLC
Michael Bernard Taylor, Jr.
