OF
QUESTIONS PRESENTED
The motion to re-open was because of crimes (e.g.
fraud) and judicial accessories-after-the-fact.
Crimes are being committed not only by listed
creditors, a contract-attorney/co-planner, and a
discharged debtor; but also by judges, justices
and federal officers who conceal the crimes and
thus become accessories-after-the -fact (since all
are felonies). 18 USC Secs. 152 and 157; Cal.
Penal Code Secs. 17, 31 and 33. The felonies and
the concealment have been occurring for years.
There is no immunity for: (1) judges and justices
who act as prosecutors of Kinney rather than act
as neutral arbitrators of disputes [e.g. they not
only concealed the fraud, but also knew there
was the clear absence of all jurisdiction to issue
any fee awards]; (2) listed, unsecured creditors
Marcus, discharged debtor Clark, and contractattorney Chomsky; and (3) officers who refuse to
enforce bankruptcy laws even though stopping
this type of fraud is one of their specific duties.
Michele R. Clark is the 2010 Chapter 7 no asset
discharged debtor. Her attorneys David Marcus
etc were listed creditors [who had Clark sign a
2007 hourly-fee retainer with a charging lien].
The contract-attorney is Eric Chomsky. Kinney
and Kempton were co-buyers of Clark's house in
2005, but creditors Marcus etc kept violating 11
USC Sec. 524(a)(2) by moving for more attorney
fees. The courts and others continue to conceal
ongoing fraud and ignore 11 USC Sec. 524(a)(1).

PETITION FOR A WRIT OF CERTIORARI
Petitioner Charles Kinney requests that a "writ of
certiorari" issue to review the "final" judgment by
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal on Jan. 24,
2019 that refused to allow Kinney's appeal to
proceed [App. A (NC #18-56549, Dk #2)] as to the
US District Court's "joint" dismissal order by
Judge Gutierrez on Nov. 7, 2018 [App. B (USDC
18-07321, Dk #44)] for Kinney's motion to re-open.
That order also dismissed his counterclaim (NC
#18-56552) and removal (NC #18-56551).
The "Big Lie" Turned Into a "Crime"
In 2008, Kinney did not fit the vexatious litigant
("VL") criteria because he didn't have 5 losses in 7
years as an in pro se plaintiff; see Cal. Code of
Civil Procedure ("CCP") Sec. 391; John v. Superior
Court, 63 Ca1.4th 91, 93-95 (Cal. 2016).
Judicial officers needed to create the "big lie" that
Kinney was a VL so as to promote Judge Grimes
to a Justice and get Carolyn Cooper's cooperation.
From 2008 to 2010, state judges and justices were
acting as prosecutors not neutral adjudicators.
These included Boren [2009-2010], Cheney [20092010], Grimes [2007-2008], Lavin [2008], and
Rothschild [2008-2010]. Non-judicial participants
included Cooper, Clark and their attorneys.
When Clark declared bankruptcy, the state judges
and justices didn't want the "big lie" to unravel
[e.g. since Kinney didn't have enough "losses" yet],
so they became accessories-after-the-fact to conceal
1
felonies by listed creditor Marcus and his helper
Chomsky]. The judicial participants now included
state and federal judges such as Boren [2014],
Chen [2018], Cheney [2017], Gee [2019], Gutierrez
[2016, 2018], Johnson [2017], Lavin [2012],
McElroy [2013], Rothschild [2017], Scheper [many
times], and the Ninth Circuit [many times]. They
were all acting as prosecutors of Kinney [e.g.
especially when they created new pre-filing VL
orders based on false or misleading facts].
After 2012, these judicial "prosecutors" were also
committing felonies [e.g. ignoring 11 USC 524(a)
and 18 USC Sec. 152 or 157 violations]; they were
now accessories- after-the-fact. The non-judicial
participants [e.g. Chomsky, Clark, Marcus and
Takeuchi] were also committing felonies [e.g. up
to 5 years in jail; see Cal. Penal Code Sec. 17].
Here, USDC Judge P.S. Gutierrez and the Ninth
Circuit have been concealing felonies committed
by Clark, Marcus and Chomsky for years.
If the facts are examined fairly, it can be shown
Kinney is not a VL under state or federal law. For
example, Judge Lavin's 2008 VL ruling refers to
cases where Kinney was only the attorney for
defendants Schmidt and Chiu (so CCP Sec. 391
does not apply). The 2017 ADA class action
settlement with Los Angeles shows Kinney's
claims against Cooper and the City had merit as
to obstructions on public rights of way. Kinney's
Clean Water Act cases and the 2012 Cal. Coastal
Commission's discovery of an unpermitted storm
basin in Three Arch Bay show his Laguna Beach
NJ
cases had merit. Kinney has never been allowed a
trial or hearing on the merits of these issues with
testimony under oath and cross-examination (or an
appeal before impartial judges). All of this can be
easily fact-checked [e.g. via a Pacer account].
The only reason given by the Ninth Circuit was
that Kinney's appeal was "so insubstantial" that
Kinney could not proceed with it. The only case
cited was In re Thomas [App. A, 1]. However, the
case In re Thomas, 508 F.3d 1225 (9th Cir. 2007),
does not apply to attorney fee orders deemed void
pursuant to ii U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1).
Insubstantial vs. Substantial
Here, adverse economic impacts on Kinney of the
ongoing violations of bankruptcy law and fraud
exceed $500,000 due to 13+ void attorney fee
awards for already-discharged pre- and postpetition debts that were shifted onto Kinney by
the 2010 Chapter 7 no asset discharged-debtor
Michele Clark and her listed, unsecured creditor
attorneys David Marcus etc (with help by contract
attorney Eric Chomsky as a co-planner of the fee
motions and accessory-after-the-fact). $500,000+
is not an "insubstantial" financial issue.
The bankruptcy law being violated [11 U.S.C. Sec.
524] was created: (1) to enjoin the exact activity
that continues to be pursued by listed unsecured
creditor attorneys Marcus etc [Sec. 524(a)(2)]; and
(2) to void any resulting state or federal court
attorney's fee awards or orders [Sec. 524(a)(1)]
because the fee motion and resulting award order
3
concede that debtor Clark is still personally liable
to her own listed creditor attorneys Marcus etc.
All the courts involved here have refused to follow
explicit bankruptcy laws; see Kinney v. Clark, 12
Cal.App.5th 724 (Cal. 2017) for examples of their
ongoing refusal to follow the bankruptcy laws.
These bankruptcy laws have been violated over 13
times. These same violations are also bankruptcy
fraud "crimes" which is a felony because of the
potential for 5 years in jail [18 U.S.C. Sec. 152 and
157]. These felonies continue to be willfully
concealed by Chomsky and others. Those who
conceal are accessories-after-the -fact (which is
also a felony) [Cal. Penal Code Sees. 17, 31 and
32]. Those are not "insubstantial" legal issues.
The VL law is being mis-used as justification for
allowing listed-creditors Marcus etc to continue to
violate bankruptcy law and commit crimes against
listed-creditors Kinney and his co-buyer Kim
Kempton (now deceased) [who purchased Clark's
house in 2005], and to compel silence upon them
by denying their constitutional rights [e.g. 1st, 4th ,
5th , 8th and 14th Amendments]. Those are not
"insubstantial" retaliation issues.
Even though an attorney fee "cost" order is void
under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1), and even though
Clark's listed, unsecured-creditor attorneys David
Marcus etc are prohibited by 11 U.S.C. Sec.
524(a)(2) from filing any motion which results in
attorney's fee award "cost" orders (based on the
false premise that Clark still has personal liability
4.
for fees), the unsecured-creditor attorneys Marcus
etc keep filing attorney fee motions on behalf of
2010 Chapter 7 discharged debtor Michele Clark.
The Vexatious Litigant Laws
Here, the courts ignore bankruptcy law and then
justify their actions by mis-using VL law [e.g. Cal.
CCP Secs. 391-391.8] and mis-stating the facts.
Listed-creditors Marcus etc continue to violate
bankruptcy law against listed-creditors Kinney
and his co-buyer Kim Kempton (now deceased).
Here, the courts continue to compel silence upon
Kinney and deny him all rights to redress of
grievances [e.g. by denying the right to appeal].
The VL law is also being used by state and federal
courts to impose excessive fines on Kinney
contrary to the 8th Amendment (see US Supreme
Court decision in the Timbs case decided 2/20/19).
The state VL law allows a Calif. court to make a
person a VL [e.g. when a federal court has made
that person a VL], but without safeguards to keep
a VL order from being overbroad. State Univ. of
New York v. Fox, 492 U.S. 469, 482-486 (1989). In
contrast to "narrowly tailored" federal VL orders,
all Calif. VL orders are "broadly" applied.
The federal VL law arises from the All Writ Act
(28 U.S.C. Sec. 1651) and under federal law all VL
orders must be "narrowly tailored" in scope. De
Long v. Hennessey, 912 F.2d 1144, 1146-1149 (9th
Cir. 1990). However, in Kinney's situation, the
5
4
federal VL orders against him are being broadly
applied to all of his federal cases [e.g. Clean Water
Act citizen-lawsuit cases] and applied to include
non-parties [e.g. neighbor Carolyn Cooper].
Challenges To The VL Laws
The Calif. VL law has been challenged before.
Wolfe v. George, 486 F.3d 1120 (9th Cir. 2007) did
consider the VL law, but that case had no facial
challenge, and the VL law has been substantially
changed [e.g. to allow a Court of Appeal Presiding
Justice to decide whether an appeal has "merit"].
In 2014, the constitutional framework of VL laws
was extensively clarified in Ringgold-Lockhart v.
County of LA, 761 F.3d 1057, 1060-1067 (9th Cir.
2014). Based on this case, the Cal. VL law does
not satisfy the clarified constitutional standards.
Since substantial changes have occurred to Calif.
VL law after the 2007 Wolfe decision [e.g. in Jan.
2012], and since the Ringgold-Lockhart decision
explains some issues of the VL law that the Wolfe
decision never considered, the 2007 Wolfe decision
is no longer controlling as to the current VL law.
No court has ever considered the unconstitutional
vagueness of the current Calif. VL law. Johnson
v. United States, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 2557-2563 (2015).
For example, given how the Calif. courts tally up
losses under the Cal. VL law and given that Cal.
requires an appeal within 60 days of whenever a
defendant is dismissed, a plaintiff can become
labeled as a VL in one case with 6 defendants by
4
"losing" against 5 defendants, but "winning" the
case against the 6th defendant. Fink v. Shemtov,
180 Ca1.App.41h 1160, 1170 (Cal. 2010).
Cal. VL law has also changed a party who is a
"defendant" into a "plaintiff'; that shows how
arbitrarily the VL law is being applied Ogunsalu
v. Superior Court, 12 Cal.App.5th 107 (Cal. 2017).
As for facial challenges to the Cal. VL law,
Kinney contends every application of that VL law
is unconstitutional because it is: (1) hopelessly
vague [e.g. as to wording such as "litigation",
"finally determined against", "merit", "reasonable
expenses" for security; "presiding justice"]; and (2)
an "ongoing chill upon speech that is beyond all
doubt protected makes it necessary in this case to
invoke the earlier precedents that a statute which
chills speech can and must be invalidated where
its facial invalidity has been demonstrated".
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,
558 U.S. 310, 331 (2010). There is no doubt that
the VL law, and acts by judges and justices using
this law, are chilling Kinney's protected speech.
As for as-applied (factual) challenges to the Cal.
VL law, Kinney contends the VL law was and is
misapplied to him, contrary to specific language
and criteria of the statute [e.g. because in Nov.
2008 Kinney was not a party and, as an in pro se
plaintiff, did not have 5 out of 7 losses in the last 7
years; and because Kinney was not a party in
Dec. 2011 when In re Kinney, 201 Cal.App.4th 951,
was issued by Cal. Court of Appeal, Second App.
Dist. ("COAT') "Presiding Justice" Boren who did
7
not yet have subject matter jurisdiction to do so].
No court has ever addressed these issues.
The federal VL law has been challenged too. It
must be applied narrowly per the De Long case,
but that is not happening as to Kinney.
Ongoing Bankruptcy Law Violations
11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1) "voids" a court judgment
if the ruling decides that 2010 Chapter 7 "no
asset" discharged-debtor Clark still has personal
liability to a listed-unsecured creditor [e.g. Marcus
etc]. That ruling is void regardless of the court's
rationale used to justify that decision. As to a
void order, a collateral attack or appeal (de-facto
or not) is unnecessary; and the Rooker-Feldman
doctrine does not apply. Orner v. Shalala, 30 F.3d
1307, 1309-1310 (10th Cir. 1994).
11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2) prohibits any unsecuredcreditors from employing any means to obtain any
judgment, order or sanction that determines a
discharged Chapter 7 "no asset" debtor still has
personal liability to that creditor. In re McLean,
794 F.3d 1313, 1321-1325 (11th Cir. 2015). Sec.
524(a)(2) is known as the discharge injunction.
For 8+ years, listed unsecured-creditor attorneys
David Marcus etc have filed 13+ attorney fee
motions on behalf of discharged Chapter 7 "no
asset" debtor Michele Clark, based on pre-petition
contracts, with help from contract-attorney Eric
Chomsky.
Their goal was to shift over $500,000 of pre- and
post-petition attorney's fees [incurred by Clark]
onto listed unsecured-creditors Kinney and/or
Kempton, the co-buyers of Clark's house in 2005.
However, 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2) prohibits all of
those attorney fee motions. In re Marino, 577
B.R. 772, 782-784 (9th Cir. 2017).
The dockets for cases in state and federal courts
confirm that judges continue to issue decisions
that concede discharged-debtor Clark is still
personally liable to her own unsecured-creditor
attorneys David Marcus etc for their legal work.
Each time creditor Marcus files an attorney's fee
"cost" motion to shift Clark's legal bills onto
Kinney, Marcus concedes (admits) that his client,
discharged-debtor Clark, still has some "personal
liability" to him (Marcus) for his legal work [which
violates 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2)]. Cal. Civil Code
Sec. 1717; Cal. CCP Sec. 1033.5(a)(10); Cen-Pen
Corp. v. Hanson, 58 F.3d 89, 92-94 (4th Cir. 1995);
Johnson v. Home State Bank, 501 U.S. 78, 84
(1991); Trope v. Katz, 11 Ca1.4tF 274, 279-289 (Cal.
1995); PLCM Group, Inc. v. Drexler, 22 Cal.4th
1084, 1092-1094 (Cal. 2000); Reynolds Metals Co.
v. Alperson, 25 Cal.3d 124, 127-129 (Cal. 1979).
The 13+ attorney fee "cost" orders were issued
after Clark's 2010 bankruptcy. Those 13+ orders
resulted in over $500,000 in attorney's fees owed
by Kinney to Clark. By issuing those 13+ orders,
the state courts have engaged in willful judicial
misconduct. Dodds v. Commission on Judicial
Performance, 12 Ca1.4th 163, 166-172 (Cal. 1994);
Broadman v. Comm. on Judicial Performance, 18
Cal.4th 1079, 1091-1113 (Cal. 1998).
Challenges To "Void" Orders
Kinney is challenging all "void" orders that were
issued contrary to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a) [which
have resulted in the "taking" of Kinney's property
and excessive fines]. Thus, Kinney's grievance
cannot be a de- facto appeal of a valid order
because no appeal is ever necessary from a void
order and because full faith and credit can never
be given to a void order. 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1739.
Each of Kinney's complaints is a "federal claim
alleging a prior injury [caused by listedcreditors attorneys Marcus] that a state court
failed to remedy". Fowler v. Guerin, 899 F.3d
1112, 1118-1119 (9th Cir. 2018); Exxon Mobil
Corp. v. Saudi Basic Industries Corp., 544 U.S.
280, 284 (2005); Long v. Shorebank Development
Corp., 182 F.3d 548, 554-561 (7th Cir. 1999); In re
Schwartz, 954 F.2d 569, 572 (9th Cir. 1992). The
courts ignored violations by Marcus of 11 U.S.C.
Sec. 524(a)(2). The attorney fee orders were void,
but were also a "taking" of Kinney's property.
Kinney is not filing appeals for any legal wrongs
committed by a state court. Rather, those appeals
are about legal wrongs committed by debtor
Clark (an adverse party) and by her listed,
unsecured-creditor attorneys Marcus etc (a
non-party). Marcus filed motions even though
his "puppet" Clark knew that was prohibited by
federal law. Kougasian v. TMSL, Inc., 359 F.3d
1136, 1141 (9th Cir. 2004); 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2).
'1€
Under bankruptcy law, all legal work performed
by listed-creditor attorneys Marcus etc for debtor
Clark is deemed to be fully-discharged prepetition debt in Clark's Chapter 7 "no asset"
bankruptcy. Debts cannot be shifted onto another
creditor (Kinney). In re Castellino Villas, A.K.F.
LLC, 836 F.3d 1028, 1033-1037 (9th Cir. 2016).
State courts have never accepted 11 U.S.C. Sec.
524(a) restraints and ignored that bankruptcy law
has completely preempted state law.
In re
(9th
Gruntz, 202 F.3d 1074, 1078-1084
Cir. 2000).
Here, state courts have issued "final" attorney fee
award orders to Clark, but those "final" orders are
still automatically void under Sec. 524(a)(1).
Some courts have argued that these bankruptcy
and VL issues are "inextricably intertwined" with
"final" state and federal court decisions.
That is an unsupportable argument since a void
order cannot be "inextricably intertwined" with a
valid ruling because a void order is not accorded
any dignity in the judicial system, and because
void orders can be attacked at any time without
violating the Rooker-Feldman doctrine. Sinochem
Intern. Co. v. Malaysia Intern. Shipping Corp., 549
U.S. 422, 430-431 (2007); Kalb v. Feuerstein, 308
U.S. 433, 438, 60 S.Ct. 343, 345-46, 84 L.Ed. 370
(1940); Kougasian v. TMSL, Inc., 359 F.3d 1136,
1141 (91h Cir. 2004); 30A American Jurisprudence,
Judgments, Secs. 43, 44, 45 (1958).
11
Some courts have argued that Kinney cannot go to
federal court to challenge void state court orders
[e.g. made void by 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1)]. 28
U.S.C. Secs. 1331, 1343, 1441, 1443, and/or 1452.
That is an unsupportable argument since district
courts have jurisdiction over bankruptcy law and
since Rooker-Feldman and other preclusionary
rules do not apply to a facial challenge of the Cal.
VL law. District of Columbia Court of Appeals v.
Feldman, 460 U.S. 462, 482-488 (1983).
Since all state court attorney fee awards in favor
of Clark were "void" after July 2010 [e.g. because
those decisions had to presume that dischargeddebtor Clark still had "personal liability" to her
own listed unsecured-creditor attorneys Marcus],
nothing could be "inextricably intertwined" with
those "void" orders. Pennzoil v. Texaco, Inc., 481
U.S. 1, 8-17 (1987). No valid order ever existed.
Some courts have argued that Kinney's VL status
was due to his frivolous actions that had no merit,
but those are vague terms that are being applied
to Kinney without any testimony under oath and
allowing cross-examination to determine the true
facts [see Smith v. Robbins, 528 U.S. 259, 269-276
(2000) for "frivolous" and "without merit", and
how those are determined]. The VL law is not
relevant to Kinney's bankruptcy "creditor" rights.
Ongoing Bankruptcy Fraud
Each time listed unsecured-creditor attorneys
Marcus etc file a motion for attorneys fees on
12
behalf of discharged-debtor Clark, they admit that
11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2) is being violated.
In claiming that Clark still owes them for legal
fees is false and deceptive, the post-2010 motions
for attorney fees means creditors Marcus etc (and
attorney Chomsky) have Committed bankruptcy
fraud. [e.g. 18 U.S.C. Sec. 152(2) {".. knowingly
and fraudulently makes a false oath or account
or Sec. 157(3) {".. makes a false or fraudulent
representation, claim, or promise .."}].
The intentional acts by creditors Marcus etc are
"crimes" with a potential for 5 years in jail; that
means the crimes are felonies under Cal. law [Cal.
Penal Code Sec. 171. These intentional acts by
creditors Marcus and attorney Chomsky are also
predicate acts for RICO. Cadle Co. v. Flanagan,
271 F. Supp.2d 379, 383-391 (D. Conn. 2003).
Lies and Misdirection For 8+ Years
Creditors Marcus and contract-attorney Chomsky
have lied to state and federal courts for years
about their status and the consequences of their
actions. Those willfully false and deceptive acts
are further evidence of bankruptcy fraud "crimes".
For example, as of July 2012, Marcus represented
to LASC Judge Scheper that Marcus could pursue
attorney fee claims (based on emails to and from
the trustee) even though qnlx the trustee could
pursue those claims under the Bostanian case.
13
On Aug. 17, 2012, Chomsky admitted attorneys
Marcus etc were listed as unsecured creditors in
Clark's 2010 Chapter 7 "no asset" bankruptcy.
However, on Oct. 6, 2016, Chomsky said attorneys
Marcus etc "was a secured creditor" to the Ninth
Circuit which resulted in an attorney fee award to
Clark in Ninth Circuit #14-60081 [Dk #96]. That
order is void pursuant to 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1).
On Jan. 2, 2019, Chomsky said discharged-debtor
"Clark is a secured judgment creditor" to Alameda
County Superior Court Probate Dept. That was
false since Clark was the 2010 Chapter 7 debtor.
Clark's docket for #2:10-bk-41323 shows attorneys
Marcus never filed any motion to prove they had a
"secured" claim [e.g. under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 5061.
In March 2011, the bankruptcy court issued an
"appear and defend" order to Clark during a CMC
conference, but that was not a proper relief from
stay motion under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 362 [with notice
to all creditors] as Marcus/Chomsky have argued.
In Oct. 2012, the US Bankruptcy Court issued an
abandonment order as to pq1A the trustee, but
Marcus/Chomsky have argued that gave them the
"right" to recover attorney's fees for pre- and postpetition legal work (contrary to bankruptcy law).
Courts Refuse To Follow The Law
At all times, state and federal courts have refused
to analyze and protect the rights of listed creditor
Kinney. They have ignored inactions by creditors
14
Marcus [e.g. failure to prove in state court that
their charging lien was valid per the Mojtahedi
case; failure to prove in federal court that they
had a "secured" interest per 11 U.S.C. Sec. 506].
Instead, the courts kept granting attorney fee
award orders to discharged-debtor Clark for legal
work by listed-creditors Marcus etc, and kept
ignoring restrictions imposed by bankruptcy law.
Federal courts kept refusing to consider Kinney's
removals, civil rights cases, and appeals [e.g. by
making sua sponte dismissals, arguing these are
de- facto appeals of state court fee award orders,
and/or applying the Rooker-Feldman doctrine].
The federal courts have now applied overly-broad
pre-filing orders to Kinney [e.g. Ninth circuit #1780256; USDC #3:18-cv-1041] and blocked Kinney's
cases and appeals based on those pre-filing orders.
The federal courts are now so bold that Judge
Chen included a non-party in his 2018 pre-filing
order [i.e. Los Angeles next-door-neighbor cooper
who falsely reported Kinney and Kempton to the
State Bar to stop them from having federal ADA
and state nuisance laws applied to cooper's
unpermitted, encroaching fences that were built
on the public right-of-way (and which still exist)].
Scope of the RICO Enterprise
When Judge Chen included non-party cooper in
his 2018 VL pre-filing order [USDC 3:18-cv-1041,
he conceded the RICO "enterprise" against Kinney
was broad in scope (see recent SOTUS petition).
15
Kinney's civil rights case before Judge Chen was
directed only at violations of bankruptcy law, but
Cooper was NOT involved in matters related to
bankruptcy law. Cooper was involved in: (1) the
promotion of LASC Judge Grimes to a Justice; (2)
the cover-up by COA2 Justices Rothschild and
Chaney by willful misuse of the Evans case [for
Cooper's and Grimes' benefit]; (3) the cover-up by
the City of Los Angeles as to Kinney's rights in
public right-of-ways [for Cooper's benefit]; an d (4)
Cooper's false complaint to the State Bar as to
Kinney and Kempton [to silence them as to Judge
Grimes, the Evans case, and rights-of-way issues].
Cooper was a high-level City of LA employee; and
Judge Grimes' husband was an influential real
estate developer in LA (and a frequent contributor
to Judges' campaigns), so secret communications
would have been easy. David Marcus' law firm
was involved in denials of Kinney's rights as to
streets in Laguna Beach (via the Overton case)
and LA (next to Cooper's house) even though
Kinney "won" Kempton v. City of Los Angeles, 165
Cal.App.4th 1344 (Cal. 2008). After that "win" in
Aug. 2008, LASC Judge Lavin made Kinney a VL
in Nov. 2008 for LASC #BC374938 [the fraud case
where Marcus was Clark's attorney], even though
Kinney in pro per did not have 5 losses in 7 years.
Judge Lavin cited cases in which Kinney was the
attorney for defendants (e.g. Schmidt and Chiu).
Because of Justice Boren's unilateral acts, Kinney
was never allowed to appeal Lavin's VL order.
The History In This Case
On May 22, 2018, Kinney filed: (1) a removal of
one of Clark's attorney fee motions under 28
16
U.S.C. Sec. 1452; (2) a motion to re-open Clark's
bankruptcy; and (3) a counter-claim and thirdparty complaint. Levin Metals v. Parr-Richm.
Term., 799 F.2d 1312, 1315-16 (91h Cir. 1986).
On June 6, 2018, US Bankruptcy Judge Barry
Russell dismissed all 3 filings. The appeals to
BAP and then USDC were summarily dismissed.
On July 17, 2018, District Court Judge Gutierrez
dismissed all those matters. [App. B, 3].
On Aug. 1, 2018, Kinney filed 3 appeals to the
Ninth Circuit for the dismissal orders.
On Jan. 24, 2019, the Ninth Circuit refused to
allow Kinney's appeals #18-56549, 18-56551 and
18-56552 to proceed forward [App. A, 1].
The courts mentioned that Kinney was subject to
a pre-filing order for these appeals even though
the appeals were from Article I US Bankruptcy
Court orders, not from Article III US District
Court orders [see Ninth Circuit #17-80256 order
issued on Jan. 19, 2018]. This is part of the
retaliation and cover-up to silence Kinney. The
Ninth Circuit has played this game before; see
SCOTUS petition for Ninth Circuit #18-16402 and
District Court Judge E.M. Chen's dismissal and
2018 pre-filing order in USDC #3:18-cv-1041.
For 8+ years, listed unsecured-creditors attorneys
Marcus etc have filed motion(s) for more attorney
fees in LASC #BC354136 on behalf of Chapter 7
"no asset" discharged-debtor Clark.
17
In each situation, Los Angeles County Superior
Court ("LASC") Judge Barbara Scheper has issued
attorney fee "cost" order(s) against listed creditor
Kinney and in favor of debtor Clark and her listed
creditor attorneys Marcus etc by ignoring: (A) that
the limits of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1) and (2) apply
here; and (B) that attorneys Marcus etc have
never complied with the Goncalves and Mojtahedi
cases in state court as to their automatic conflict
of interest "charging lien" contained in their 2007
hourly-fee retainer with client Clark.
Given these events, these judges and justices are
operating on a collaborative basis with respect to
punishing Kinney, so Kinney has been unable to
determine which judges and justices should be
disqualified. Williams v. Pennsylvania,
U.S.
136 S.Ct. 1899 (2016); 14th Amendment.
-
-'
The courts are punishing Kinney for conducting
litigation, and imposing penalties on him, because
he is exercising his federal rights [e.g. under the
5th Amendment] that a federal court itself would
not penalize. Donovan v. City of Dallas, 377 U.S.
408, 412-414 (1964). That violates the Supremacy
Clause. U.S. Const. Art. VI, Sec. 2.
Kinney's grievances arise from the intentional acts
of a non-party, attorneys Marcus etc, who have
represented Clark from 2007 onward, and who
were listed as "unsecured" creditors in Clark's 2010
Chapter 7 "no asset" bankruptcy.
The state courts fail to remedy that prior injury by
non-parties Marcus etc; and federal courts refuse
18
to accept jurisdiction over violations of bankruptcy
law and ongoing bankruptcy fraud.
Each time listed-unsecured-creditor attorneys
Marcus etc file a motion for attorney's fees on
behalf of discharged-debtor Clark, they admit that
11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2) is being violated because
Clark has no obligations to any listed creditor
[e.g. Marcus, Kinney, or Kempton] since Clark is a
discharged Chapter 7 "no asset" debtor.
Each time a court awards attorneys fees to Clark
and her listed-creditor attorneys Marcus etc, that
court admits that FEDERAL law is being
violated since U.S.C. Sec. 524(a) applies to the
motion and order because debtor Clark must still
have personal liability to creditor Marcus under
the 2007 hourly-fee retainer as a prerequisite to
the granting of any order.
Each time a court awards attorneys fees to Clark
and her own listed-creditor attorneys Marcus etc,
that court admits that STATE law is being
violated by those attorneys because they never
proved the validity of their 2007 hourly-fee
retainer with the attorney's or charging lien.
Goncalves v. Rady Children's Hospital San Diego,
865 F.3d 1237, 1255 fn. 5 (9th Cir. 2017) [citing
"Mojtahedi v. Vargas, 228 Cal.App.4th 974, 176
CaLRptr.3d 313, 316 (2014)"].
Judges Have No Immunity
State and federal judges and justices, and state
and federal officers [e.g. bankruptcy trustee], who
issued, affirmed or ignored orders, judgments or
19
sanctions against co-buyers Kinney and Kempton,
knew the orders were "void" under FEDERAL
law [e.g. knew there was the clear absence of all
jurisdiction and thus no immunity as explained in
USDC 3:18-cv-1041-EMC, Dk #44; see SCOTUS
petition for Ninth Circuit 18-16402]; they include:
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge
Barbara Scheper in #BC354136 [Clark's lack of
title vs. her unrecorded, secret easement given to
neighbor Cooper] and Judge Steven Kleifield in
#BC374938 [Clark's fraud and non-disclosure];
Calif. Court of Appeal, Second Appellate
Dist., Justices Roger Boren, Frances Rothschild,
Victoria Cheney, and Jeffrey Johnson [and others
as shown by dockets];
Alameda County Superior Court Judge
Delbert Gee in Kimberly Kempton's probate
estate #RP13686482 [e.g. as to Clark's "claims"];
former Cal. Attorney General Kamala
Harris and current Cal. Attorney General Xavier
Becerra [who ignored letters from Kinney];
Cal. State Bar tribunal hearing officers Pat
McElroy, Honn, Purcell and Epstein [in the 20122014 disbarment proceedings for Kinney];
US Trustee, Central District of California
(Los Angeles), Peter C. Anderson [who has the job
of uncovering bankruptcy fraud and abuse];
US Bankruptcy Court, Central Dist. of Cal.,
Judges Richard Neiter and Barry Russell;
US District Court Judges Philip S.
Gutierrez, Edward Chen, and Vince Chhabria
[and others as shown by dockets];
Ninth Circuit Judges Bea, Bybee, Gould,
Levy, Owens, Paez, Silverman, Thomas, and
Wallace [and others as shown by dockets]; and
20
(j) the Justices of this Court [due to inaction].
Likewise, these same people (who issued, affirmed
or ignored orders, judgments or sanctions against
co-buyers Kinney or Kempton) knew the orders
were "void" under STATE law due to failures by
Clark's attorneys David Marcus etc to comply
with the Goncalves and Mojtahedi cases as to
proving their 2007 hourly-fee retainer and its
automatic conflict-of-interest attorney's (aka
charging) lien were valid and enforceable as of
Dec. 2008 onward before attorneys Marcus could
recover attorney's fees from their client Clark and
before attorneys Marcus could shift attorney's
fees owed by Clark onto co-buyers Kinney and
Kempton via the 2005 purchase contract.
COA2 Justice Jeffrey Johnson is the same Justice
who was named in a 1/4/19 Calif. Comm. on Jud.
Performance's Notice of Formal Proceedings (and
the same Justice who concurred with Kinney v.
Clark in 2017). Justice Johnson filed an Answer
on 1/22/19. Justice Johnson could be ready to
"blow the whistle" on Justices Rothschild and
Cheney [e.g. as to LASC Judge Grimes and the
Evans case], so it was time to get rid of him. This
shows that a "culture of silence" exists in COA2.
Likewise, Ninth Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski had
been harassing staff and others for 3+ decades. In
response to publicity, Judge Kozinski retired in
Dec. 2018. This shows that a "culture of silence"
exists in the Ninth Circuit.
21
In 2017, the COA2 Justices gave examples of
bankruptcy law violations, but ignored ongoing
violations of 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a); see Kinney v.
Clark, 12 Cal.App.5th 724 (Cal. 2017) [e.g. see pgs.
728-731 as to an attorney fee order issued in July
2012 in favor of Clark based on Marcus' motion for
pre-petition fees when the trustee had the sole
authority to seek those fees because Clark's
Chapter 7 discharge didn't occur until Aug. 2012].
Judge Scheper's July 2012 attorney fee order is
contrary to Bostanian v. Liberty Savings Bank, 52
Cal.App.4th 1075, 1078-1087 (Cal. 1997) and void
In addition,
under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1).
Marcus' motion violates 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2).
OPINIONS BELOW
The decision(s) sought to be reviewed are the:
Jan. 24, 2019 "final" decision by the
Ninth Circuit denying Kinney's right to proceed
with his appeal because it was "so insubstantial"
[Ninth Circuit Dk #2; Appendix A, page 1]1.
Nov. 7, 2018 dismissal order by US
District Court Judge Gutierrez [App. B, 3].
JURISDICTION
The jurisdiction of this Court is invoked under
Title 28, United States Code ("U.S.C."), Secs.
1254(1), 1257(a), and/or 2101(c).
Citation method is Appendix ("App."), exhibit
letter, and sequential page number.

Here, the US District Court improperly dismissed
Kinney's matters related to bankruptcy [App. B].
Next, the Ninth Circuit improperly denied Kinney
any right to continue with his appeal [App. A].
As noted in prior petitions, the courts have not
followed and are still not following bankruptcy
law (or state law) as to listed creditor Kinney [e.g.
see his petitions 18-1096, 18-1095, 18-906, 18-908,
17-219, 16-252, 16-606, and 16-1182 to name just
a few]. Bosse v. Oklahoma, 580 U.S.
, 137
S.Ct. 1, 196 L.Ed.2d 1 (2016).
The courts made rulings that violated Kinney's
federal constitutional rights [e.g. 1st Amendment]
and federal civil rights under color of authority or
official right [e.g. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983], so judicial
and sovereign immunities were limited or
eliminated [e.g. for prospective injunctive relief].
Fitzpatrick v. Bitzer, 427 U.S. 445, 448 (1976);
Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp. v. Halderman, 465
U.S. 89, 102-106, 123 n. 34 (1984); Patrick v.
Burget, 486 U.S. 94, 101-104 (1988); Pennsylvania
v. Union Gas Co., 491 U.S. 1, 57 (1989); F.T.C. v.
Ticor Title Ins. Co., 504 U.S. 621, 631-638 (1992).
Ruling(s) that Kinney was attempting to appeal
are void under bankruptcy law which completely
pre-empted all state court matters filed after to
July 2010 [e.g. LASC BC354136 and BC374938].
Maritime Electric Co., Inc. v. United Jersey Bank,
959 F.2d 1194, 1203-1204 (3rd Cir. 1991); In re

1987); Hawaii ex rel Louie v. HSBC Bank Nevada,
N.A., 761 F.3d 1027, 1033-1034 (9th Cir. 2014).
Kinney's appeal should have been allowed, and
judges and justices should have vacated all "cost"
orders in favor of discharged-debtor Clark. Young
v. Tr-City Healthcare Dist., 210 Cal.App.4th 35,
41-42 and 49-53 (Cal. 2010); Plaza Hollister Ltd.
Ptsp. v. County of San Benito, 72 Cal.App.4th 1, 1322 (Cal. 1999); Giset v. Fair Political Practices
Comm., 25 Cal.App.4th 658, 701 (Cal. 2001).
Once Clark filed a Chapter 7 no asset bankruptcy
petition in 2010, Clark was no longer obligated
for attorney's fee owed to Marcus etc, or under the
2005 purchase contract with co-buyers Kinney etc.
Listed-unsecured-creditor attorneys Marcus etc
never proved their lien was valid or secured. 11
U.S.C. Sees. 506; FRBP 3001, 3002 and 6009; U.S.
v. Ron Pair Enterprises, Inc., 489 U.S. 235, 238-240
(1989); Saltareffi & Steponovich v. Douglas, 40
Cal.App.4th 1, 3-7 (Cal. 1995); Mojtahedi v. Vargas,
228 Cal.App.4th 974, 976-980 (Cal. 2014).
The rulings by COA2 and Cal. Supreme Court
were abuses of discretion as to void orders made
by LASC Judge Scheper. Olson v. Cory, 35 Cal.3d
390, 400-401 (Cal. 1983).
The denial of Kinney's appeal rights [e.g. his
petition for review of void orders] violated his First
Amendment rights. United Mine Workers v.
Illinois State Bar Ass'n, 389 U.S. 217, 222 (1967);
24
Mov v. United States, 906 F.2d 467, 470 (9th Cir.
1990); Thomas v. Collins, 323 U.S. 516, 530 (1945).
Any issues regarding Clark's bankruptcy or her
discharge are still controlled by bankruptcy law,
and all courts must follow that law. American
Railway Express Co. v. Levee, 263 U.S. 19, 20-21
(1923); Cohen v. California, 403 U.S. 15, 17-18
(1971); Michigan-Wisconsin Pipe Line Co. v.
Calvert, 347 U.S. 157, 159-161 (1954).
The powers of the state appellate court are limited
by explicit limitations in state statutes, explicit
limitations found in decisions by the state
supreme court, and/or by civil and constitutional
rights of the appellants. Canatella v. State of
California, 304 F.3d 843, 847-854 and n.6 and 14
(9th Cir. 2001).
The courts have again denied Kinney's First
Amendment rights with respect to bankruptcy law
violations and to overbroad applications of \TL
laws [e.g. by denying his right to appeal]. Boddie
v. Connecticut, 401 U.S. 371, 382-383 (1971).
Kinney's Cases/Appeals Had Merit
Kinney's cases and appeals had "merit" [e.g. given
ongoing fraud]. 11 U.S.C. Sec. 350; FRBP 5010.
Kinney was a "creditor" contrary to Bankruptcy
Court Judge Neiter's Oct. 18, 2012 abandonment
order; that order does not give Clark any "right" to
shift discharged debt or attorney's fees onto
Kinney. Kinney as a "creditor" has standing to
protest ongoing violations of bankruptcy law by
debtor Clark, creditor Marcus, and Chomsky.
25
A
These felonies also violate 18 U.S.C. Secs. 1346
and/or 1951, and create new civil rights and RICO
claims [e.g. since creditor attorneys Marcus etc
and contract-attorney Chomsky have operated a
RICO "enterprise" to extort money from Kinney
via void attorney fee awards]. United States v.
Inzunza, 638 F.3d 1006 (9th Cir. 2009); United
States v. Frega, 179 F.3d 793 (9th Cir. 1999).
Here, listed unsecured-creditor attorneys Marcus
etc and Chomsky are violating 18 U.S.C. Secs. 152
and/or 157 with respect to: (i) making false oaths
under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 152(2); (ii) making false
declarations under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 152(3); (iii)
presenting false claims under 18 U.S.C. Sec.
152(4); (iv) receiving material property from
debtor Clark under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 152(5); and/or
(v) repeatedly making false or fraudulent
representations under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 157(3).
Ongoing Crimes
Under federal law, contract-attorney Chomsky
(who was hired after July 2010) is the second
person necessary to create and participate in a
RICO "enterprise" as to bankruptcy fraud for the
improper enrichment of listed-creditor Marcus;
and that is a predicate act for a civil RICO action.
18 U.S.C. Secs. 1961 etc; Cadle Co. v. Flanagan,
271 F. Supp.2d 379, 383-391 (D. Conn. 2003).
Under state law, a felony results from a law that
has more than 1 year of jail time. Thus, contractattorney Chomsky has been and continues to be
an accessory-after-the-fact and co-planner of new
felonies with listed unsecured-creditor attorneys
26
David Marcus et al [e.g. due to their exposure to 5
years in jail via 18 U.S.C. Sec. 152 or 157]. Cal.
Penal Code Secs. 17, 31 and 32; People v. Partee,
21 Cal.App.5th 630, 633-642 (Cal. 2018).
Overview of Retaliation
All of these judicial officers knew that:
In the 1998 to 2000 time frame, Kinney was
the attorney for commercial fisherman Van Scoy as
to Shell Oil's excessive toxic selenium discharges
into SF Bay, but Van Scoy's claims against a state
agency were never sent back to state court after the
Ninth Circuit agreed the Regional Water Quality
Control Board had 11th Amendment immunity.
In the 2002 to 2006 time frame, Kinney never
got the Orange County Superior Court and the
Court of Appeal, Fourth App. Dist. ["COAT], to
make CCP Sec. 1060. determinations in a 2001
case filed by Three Arch Bay Community Services
District ("TABCSD") against Kinney [e.g. for
ongoing nuisances caused by TABCSD; and for an
encroaching fence built by Overton; see Kinney v.
Overton, 153 Cal.App.4th 482 (Cal. 2007)].
In the 2007 to 2010 time frame, LASC Judge
Elizabeth Grimes, LASC Judge Luis Lavin, LASC
Judge Richard Fruin, Jr., and Justices in the
COA2 retaliated against Kinney [e.g. by ignoring
Kempton v. City of Los Angeles, 165 Ca1.App.4th
1344 (Cal. 2008); when making Kinney a \TL].
There were 100% directly-inconsistent decisions
by Judge Grimes and COA2 as to the failure by
27
seller Michele Clark to give "clean" or clear title to
co-buyers Kinney etc because Clark gave an
undisclosed and unrecorded easement to the nextdoor neighbor Carolyn Cooper for two encroaching
fences. This was an intentional misapplication of
the Evans case [Evans v. Fraught, 231 Cal.App.2d
698, 705 (Cal. 1965)] as to "clean" title vs. Clark's
unrecorded easement; and the COA2 still refuses
to correct that error. Moore v. Kaufman, 189
Cal.App.4th 604, 614-617 (Cal. 2010).
LASC Judge Lavin ruled Kinney was a VL on Nov.
19, 2008 without supporting facts [e.g. Kinney was no
longer a party]; and COA2 Justice Boren unilaterally
dismissed Kinney's appeal(s) from 2009 onward
regarding that 2008 VL order [even though Cal.
Const., Art. VT, Sec. 3, requires a 3 justice panel to
make a decision; and any pre-filing order is subject
to a mandatory injunction under CCP Secs. 525 and
916(a), so the VL order is not final until an appeal
occurs]. Paramount Pictures Corp. v. Davis, 228
Ca1.App.2d 827, 837-838 (Cal. 1964).
LASC Judge Fruin ignored Cal. Civil Code Sec.
3483 for a fence built by neighbor Cooper in a
public right-of-way on a street abutting Kinney's
LA property; and Kinney's 2008 published opinion.
D. In the 2010 to 2012 time frame, LASC Judge
Scheper, the COA2 (including Justice Roger Boren),
and US Bankruptcy Court Judge Richard Neiter
ignored state and bankruptcy law as to Kinney.
LASC Judge Scheper granted a 7/10/12 attorney's
fee award to Clark contrary to bankruptcy law.
28
Justice Boren of the COA2 issued In re Kinney, 201
Cal.App.41h 951 (Cal. 2011) for which the facts were
misstated and in which Kinney was not a party.
Judge Neiter issued the Oct. 18, 2012 abandonment
order in which he "held" that Kinney was not a
"creditor" in Clark's 2010 Chapter 7 bankruptcy
which is blatantly false because Kinney was
specifically listed by Clark, and his "status" as a
creditor cannot be changed by an abandonment
order issued after Clark's Aug. 2012 discharge.
In the 2013 to 2017 time frame, LASC Judge
Scheper, the COA2, the COA4, the district courts,
and the Ninth Circuit ignored both state law and
federal bankruptcy law in regards to Kinney.
After Nov. 2008, the intentional misapplication
of the Vt law [e.g. by imposing VL law upon an
attorney who was not a party] was being used to
"justify" compelled silence imposed on Kinney.
After 2012, the intentional misapplication of
bankruptcy law by state and federal courts [e.g. by
saying Kinney was not a listed creditor] was used
to "justify" compelled silence on Kinney.
Kinney's losses were caused by the intentional
misapplication of law [e.g. the Evans case; the Vt
law used against an attorney] or by misstatements
of fact [e.g. which ignored Kinney was listed as a
bankruptcy "creditor" by debtor Clark, and was not
a party in several cases even though Kinney was
treated as a party by Justice Boren].
29
The retaliation against Kinney has been
justified by the improper use of the VL law which
then led to Cal. State Bar disbarment proceedings.
No opponent or judicial officer has ever cited
legal authority that 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 civil right
claims against a state actor [e.g. acting as a
prosecutor under color of authority] can be totally
precluded by simply labeling Kinney's appeals as
de- facto appeals of prior state court decisions [e.g.
since federal civil rights laws are separate and
district from the state laws or rights].
No opponent or judicial officer has ever cited
legal authority that 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983 civil right
claims against a state or federal actor [e.g. acting as
a prosecutor under color of authority] can be totally
precluded by the use of Rooker-Feldman or other
preclusion doctrines [e.g. since there has never been
a trial or hearing on the merits of any issue with
testimony under oath and cross-examination].
For example, the Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not
apply when a Judge or Justice does an "executive
action" such as unilaterally denying Kinney a right
to appeal based on a VL law [e.g. for LASC
#BC354136]. Verizon Maryland, Inc. v. Public
Service Commission, 535 U.S. 635, 644 n. 3 (2002).
If Kinney is not a party in the particular case [e.g.
LASC Case #BC374938], the Rooker-Feldman
doctrine does not apply to a federal court lawsuit
filed by Kinney [e.g. a civil rights case]. Johnson v.
DeGrandy, 512 U.S. 997, 1006 (1994).
30
The 2005 purchase of Clark's Los Angeles
Fernwood property by buyers Kinney and Kempton
was made irrelevant to ongoing retaliation by
bankruptcy-debtor Michele Clark and her listed
creditor attorneys Marcus etc (and by COA2
Justices, Cal. Supreme Court Judges and federal
court Judges) after Clark declared Chapter 7
bankruptcy on July 28, 2010.
The 2005 real estate contract "fee" clause is
unenforceable by buyers Kinney or Kempton (and
by seller Clark) because all debts and obligations of
seller Clark under that 2005 purchase contract
with buyers Kinney and Kempton, and under her
2007 hourly-fee retainer with attorneys Marcus etc,
were completely eliminated so all "attorney's fee"
clause(s) are unenforceable from July 2010 onward
by operation of bankruptcy law.
These acts are damaging Kinney's ongoing
interstate businesses [e.g. in Colorado]. Keith v.
Kinney, 961 P.2d 516 (Cob. App. 1997); Kinney v.
Keith, 128 P.3d 297 (Cob. App. 2005); Keith v.
Kinney, 140 P.3d 141 (Cob. App. 2006).
CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY
PROVISIONS INVOLVED
This Court has jurisdiction to address violations of
state or federal iy by state or federal courts [e.g.
Cal. Court of Appeal; Cal. Supreme Court, District
Courts; Ninth Circuit].
The federal courts have exclusive and original
jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1331, 1343,
31
I
1441, 1443 and 1452, and under 42 U.S.C. Sec.
1983 etc, to consider violations of federal
constitutional rights [e.g. 1st Amendment rights]
and to consider violations of other federal laws
[e.g. violations of the Commerce Clause; of the
"honest services" law; of the Hobbs Act; of 11
U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1) and (2); and of bankruptcy
fraud which is a crime under 18 U.S.C. Secs. 152
etc]. However, the courts are ignoring all that.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
This petition involves courts who deny Kinney's
attempts to appeal orders by using overbroad \TL
laws against Kinney and who violate bankruptcy
law; and federal courts who refuse to enforce
bankruptcy laws as to shifting debts onto Kinney
that are deemed fully discharged as to Chapter 7
debtor Clark [e.g. by dismissing Kinney's appeal].
SUMMARY OF LOWER COURT PROCEEDINGS
In May 2018, Kinney filed a removal of Clark's
state court motion for more fees, a motion to reopen Clark's bankruptcy, and a counter-claim.
In June 2018, Bankruptcy Court Judge Russell
dismissed all matters.
On July 17, 2018, District Court Judge Gutierrez
dismissed all matters. [App. B, 3].
On Jan. 24, 2019, the Ninth Circuit denied
Kinney the right to continue his appeal with a "so
insubstantial" rationale [App. A, 1].
32
This petition addresses the: (1) ongoing retaliation
against Kinney by forcing his silence; (2) ongoing
federal law violations to his detriment as a listedcreditor; (3) "taking" of his property [e.g. over
$500,000]; and (4) damaging of his existing
interstate commerce businesses. This was done
by ignoring Kinney's rights as a listed creditor in
Clark's 2010 Chapter 7 "no asset" bankruptcy.
STATEMENT OF FACTS
The state courts may not exercise jurisdiction
inconsistent with the Constitution of the United
States, the Calif. Constitution, or applicable
statutes under state or federal law. The federal
courts may not ignore its jurisdiction to adjudicate
ongoing violations of bankruptcy law and fraud.
In July 2010, Clark filed a Chapter 7 "no asset"
bankruptcy petition; she listed Kinney and
Marcus as creditors. As a result, all pre-petition
contracts [e.g. 2005 real estate purchase contract
between seller Clark and buyers Kinney etc; and
2007 hourly-fee retainer between client Clark and
attorneys Marcus] are unenforceable as to fees.
As admitted in the 2017 state court opinion, after
Clark's bankruptcy in 2010 and discharge in 2012,
the courts have continued to grant attorney's fee
"cost" award orders in favor of debtor Clark and
creditor Marcus (and against creditor Kinney)
based on pre-petition contracts [e.g. for postpetition legal work by Marcus] which are
automatically void under 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1).
33
Discharged-debtor Michele Clark and her listed
unsecured-creditor attorneys David Marcus etc
have continued to file motions for attorneys fees
based on pre-petition contracts that are prohibited
by 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2).
On 11/7/18, Judge Gutierrez ignored this [App. B].
On 1/24/19, Kinney's appeal was not allowed to
continue in the Ninth Circuit [App. A].
REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT OF
CERTIORARI
Certiorari Should Be Granted Because Both
State and Federal Courts Continue to Ignore
Federal and State Law Which Violates
Kinney's First Amendment Rights; And The
Method and Application of "Alleged" Due
Process By The Courts Severely Impairs
Meaningful Review of Important Questions
of Federal Law, And Severely Impairs Rights
Guaranteed Under The First, Fourth, Fifth,
Eighth And Fourteenth Amendments; And Is
In Conflict With Decisions Of This Court And
Other United States Court Of Appeals.
The judges and justices have compelled silence
upon Kinney in direct violation of the Janus,
NIFLA and Riley decisions and in direct violation
of bankruptcy law given Kinney's undisputed
status as a "listed" creditor. Janus v. American
Federation of State, County and Municipal
(2018);
Employees, Council 31, 585 U.S.
National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v.
34
(2018); Riley v. National
Becerra, 585 U.S.
Federation of the Blind of North Carolina, Inc.,
487 U.S. 781, 796-797 (1988).
The judges and justices have acted as prosecutors of
Kinney, not as neutral arbitrators of disputes,
when they denied his appeal rights. The courts
have also violated Kinney's federal constitutional
and civil rights, the "honest services" law, and the
Hobbs Act.
Supreme Court of Virginia v.
Consumers Union, 446 U.S. 719, 736 and n. 15
(1980); Hafer v. Melo, 502 U.S. 21, 25-31 (1991);
Devereaux v. Abbey, 263 F.3d 1070, 1074 (91 Cir.
2001); Canatella v. State of California, 304 F.3d
843, 847-854, n. 6 and 14 (9th Cir. 2002); Bauer v.
Texas, 341 F.3d 352, 356-360 (5th Cir. 2003); In re
Justices of Supreme Court of Puerto Rico, 695
F.2d 17, 24 (18t Cir. 1982); United States v.
Murphy, 768 F.2d 1518, 1523-1539 (7th Cir. 1985);
Zarcone v. Perry, 572 F.2d 52, 54-57 (2nd Cir. 1978).
The courts were retaliating against Kinney (as
done by In re Kinney and Kinney v. Clark rulings).
That has caused irreparable injury, and injury to
his property, interstate businesses, cases, appeals,
and past clients. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1983; Hernandez
v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 976, 994 (9th Cir. 2017).
The courts' actions were done to restrict Kinney's
First Amendment rights [e.g. as to his appeals], to
restrict his fair access to the courts, and to
retaliate against him. Hooten v. H Jenne III, 786
F.2d 692 (5th Cir. 1986); United States v. Hooten,
693 F.2d 857, 858 (9th Cir. 1982); Sloman V.
Tadlock, 21 F.3d 1462, 1470 (9th Cir. 1994);
35
Soranno's Gasco, Inc. v. Morgan, 874 F.2d 1310,
1313-1320 (9th Cir. 1989); Lacey v. Maricopa
County, 693 F.3d 896, 916 (9th Cir. 2012).
Kinney has the right "to petition the Government
for a redress of grievances" including a right to a
review by appeal which is being consistently
denied to Kinney without just cause in both state
and federal courts. That First Amendment Right
is "one of the most precious of the liberties
safeguarded by the Bill of Rights". BE & K
Constr. Co. v. NLRB, 536 U.S. 516, 524 (2002)
[quoting United Mine Workers v. Illinois Bar
Assn., 389 U.S. 217, 222 (1967)].
A standard of strict scrutiny should be applied to
procedural barriers made by rule or statute, as
applied in appellate courts, which chill or penalize
the exercise of First Amendment rights, and act to
limit review by a higher court. "The consideration
of asserted constitutional rights may not be
thwarted by simple recitation that there has not
been observance of a procedural rule with which
there has been compliance in both substance and
form, in every real sense." NAACP v. Alabama ex
rel. Flowers, 377 U.S. 288, 297 (1964).
Fundamental to the 14th Amendment's right to
due process of law is the opportunity to be heard.
Grannis v. Ordean, 234 U.S. 385, 394 (1914).
When a person is deprived of his rights in a
manner contrary to the basic tenets of due
process, the slate must be wiped clean in order to
restore the petitioner to a position he would have
36
occupied if due process had been accorded to him
in the first place. Peralta v. Heights Med. Ctr.,
I,485 U.S. 80, 86-87 (1988).
Although a particular court is not required to
provide a right to appellate review, procedures
which adversely affect access to the appellate
review process, which the court has chosen to
provide, requires close judicial scrutiny. Griffin v.
Illinois, 351 U.S. 12 (1956). This applies to the
state courts in California and to federal courts.
An appeal cannot be granted to some litigants and
capriciously or arbitrarily denied to others
without violating the federal Equal Protection
Clause. Smith v. Bennett, 365 U.S. 708 (1961).
Certiorari should be granted to provide guidance
on the method and manner in which the federal
and state courts apply, restrict or summarily deny
the right of access to the courts and force silence
on "difficult" attorneys and pro se litigants.
As to actions by the courts, an appearance of
impropriety, whether such impropriety is actually
present or proven, weakens our system of justice.
"A fair trial in a fair tribunal is a basic
requirement of due process." In re Murchison,
349 U.S. 133, 136 (1955).
The courts have ignored that post-2010 award
orders were all "void" [e.g. 11 U.S.C. 524(a)(1)]; and
"void" orders cannot support subsequent decisions.

The courts have ignored Kinney's right to be free
from retaliation, and the obligation of federal
courts to determine all issues. In re Isaacs, 895
F.3d 904, 910-911 (6th Cir. 2018); In re McLean, 794
F.3d 1313, 1321-1325 (11th Cir. 2015); Bulloch v.
United States, 763 F.2d 1115, 1121-1122 (10th Cir.
1994); McCarthy v. Madigan, 503 U.S. 140, 146
(1992); Colorado River Water Conservation District
v. United States, 424 U.S. 800, 817-818 (1976).
The Bosse decision requires courts to follow the
law, but none have done that as to "creditor"
Kinney. Bosse v. Oklahoma, 580 U.S.
137
S.Ct. 1 (2016); Orner v. Shalala, 30 F.3d 1307,
1309-1310 (10th Cir. 1994).

CCP Sec. 391(b) states: "Vexatious litigant' means
a person who. ..(i) In the immediately preceding
seven-year period has commenced, prosecuted, or
maintained in propria persona at least five
litigations
that have been (i) finally
determined adversely to that person... [i.e.
AFTER completing an appeal]...(2).. .repeatedly
relitigates or attempts to relitigate, in propria
persona,... (or) (3) In any litigation while acting
in propria persona' repeatedly files... motions"
[example and emphasis added].
...
Since Kinney's appeals were all prematurely
dismissed or prevented, none of his cases after
Jan. 2009 were "finally determined" [e.g. App. B, 438
5]. Attorneys with clients [e.g. Lavin's 2008 order],
and client "puppets" with attorneys [baseless and
willfully inflammatory In re Kinney phrasing], are
excluded from VL laws. Kinney was never a VL so
all pre-filing orders are void [e.g. clear absence of
all jurisdiction]. This creates First Amendment
retaliation claims [e.g. the State Bar also used
unjustified VL labels to disbar Kinney].
CONCLUSION
The following (and petition) should be granted.
This Court should void all orders, judgments and
sanctions issued after July 28, 2010 in favor of
Chapter 7 discharged-debtor Clark as to any debts
owed to her unsecured-creditor attorneys Marcus
[11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(1)].
This Court should rule that unsecured-creditor
attorneys Marcus and contract-attorney Chomsky
have repeatedly violated 11 U.S.C. Sec. 524(a)(2)
by filing motions for attorney's fees for Clark.
This Court should advise the US Attorney's Office
and FBI of this fraud (18 U.S.C. Secs. 152, 157
and 158).
