Appendix / Exhibit C

Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department report

related to criminal assault by suspect — Respondent

Christopher Covarrubias upon female victim on

November 17, 2018 had been delayed for several

weeks and became available May 26, 2023.

Moreover, the second Sheriff correspondence with

additional fragmented facts pertaining to the same

and dated May 12, 2023 also serves to support

appellant’s requested restraining order and the

merit to these appeal cases proceeding since

dismissal of the trial court cases unjustifiably took

place before the presiding judge even provided a

determination to the application’s VL-110 which

were received by the Whittier court — Trial Court

but then forwarded to Stanley Mosk Courthouse.

The Trial Court was always aware of the abusive

7

conduct of respondent as it was provided in the

initial narrative and as purpose for seeking

restraining order (the victim of assault —

Dominique Valdez — sister of Robert Valdez who is

also an associate of Cheryl Lopez, # B324256).

STATEMENT OF THE CASE

Honorable Supreme Court of the United States

Justices, this case derives from the Superior Court

of California, County of Los Angeles failure to grant

Equal Protection and Due Process under law by

denying a Civil (TRO) Restraining order (23 WH

RO 08477) on 03/07/2023 and the Court of Appeal,

Second District Dismissal (# B328530) of appeal

subsequently ordered on July 27, 2023 following

their denial of a pre-filing order and finally the

California Supreme Court’s (#S282433) Denial of

Prefiling order” Leave to File Writ of Mandate

Petition) on December 15, 2023, (and Denial of

Petition for Review on 10/25/2023 under case

#S281348).

Moreover, the initial petition for restraining order

against Christopher Covarrubias (U.S. Air Force

22

agent) was and continues to be necessary to stop

the relentless barrage of harassment from the

Respondent and his criminal associates and to stop

the stalking from those who sponsor prostitution

and Sex Trade Trafficking. The Restraining Order

sought is to not only protect Petitioner but also his

four children, two of which remain minors (17 and

12 yrs. of age). In addition, protection through Civil

Restraining Orders have been requested against

two other prostitution sponsoring associates and

also the two other children this restraining order

aims to protect are ages 19 and 21 and are

unmarried college females. Respondent’s brotherin-laws (through marriage to Dominique Jessica

Valdez), 1.) Robert Valdez (CA Court of Appeal,

Case #B324256, CA Supreme Court Case

#S284646), and 2.) Paul Figueroa (Court of Appeal

23

Case #B328532, U.S. Supreme Court Case

#23A812) all of which are notoriously involved in

the sponsoring of prostitution sex trade with female

sex trade worker Cheryl Lopez (AKA Cheryl

Queen). These criminal schemes have been carried

out by them while married to Maria Valdez and

Celina Figueroa respectively. Respondent

Christopher Covarrubias remained wed to Jessica

Valdez through 2018-19 or abouts and remains

providing financial allotments following his felony

assault of his, then, wife, after being caught in

prostitution acts @ their home on November 17,

2018 (located @ 1863 E 69th Street, Los Angeles, CA

90001) and subsequent arrest by Los Angeles

County Sheriff (Case #0180-16722-2171-146), see

Exhibit/appendix A, B.

24

In addition, to these recently discovered facts

Respondent Covarrubias has stalked Petitioner for

many years to the point of even quoting “Cheryl’s”

reason for having marital problems with Petitioner,

as stated to Newport Beach Police Department in

2015 following her assault upon Petitioner,

(“marriage” struggles were due to Petitioner

(taking care of their four minor children) not

having a paying job. Just the same Respondent’s

declaration (Appendix C) — states the exact same

pretext for his divorcing (financial struggles —

blaming) his wife, Dominique Jessica Valdez who,

while pursuing an education, did not have a source

of steady income and as such was not able to

remain married or faithful to, just before their

dissolution of marriage and then Respondent

recited a short time after Petitioner’s false

25

imprisonment, due to the false accusations by

Respondent Cheryl Lopez (Case #16HM10451) as

the catalyst to this false imprisonment of 37 days in

2016 was the prolonging of the alienation of

Petition’s four minor children (going on 9 years

now). Needless to say, these premeditated schemes

to harm Petitioner and alienate him and his

children are cause for enormous emotional distress,

deprivation of Parental Rights and have facilitated

the sex crimes - sex trade / trafficking Respondent

Covarrubias has been complicit to with his brother

in laws and associates. Please note Respondent

Covarrubias has had access to enormous stalking

resources through the active service in the U.S. Air

Force and U.S. Air Force roles subsequent to his

discharge as part of the Air Force Dept, of Defense

job / affiliation.

26

In addition, sex trafficking of Prostitution - Sex

Trade Worker “Cheryl” who was caught on video on

June 21, 2022 after the Crash Landing of Flight

203 from Red Air @ Miami International Airport as

she returned from a Prostitution Engagement in

the Prostitution Haven Dominican Republic (video

is still posted on Twitter / X handle —

x.com/aviationbrk/status/1539401507031891968)

clip capturing Cheryl isolated on tarmac in the last

3 seconds further confirms the critical need for the

requested restraining order. Furthermore, brotherin-law Robert Valdez enraged by the revelation —

disclosure of his criminal enterprises while married

threatened to “Ram his dick up appellant’s ass” in

May of 2022 and in July of 2022 sixteen (16) Bicycle

Club Casino Hotel Registry Invoices (Bell Gardens,

California) were uncovered through a subpoena

27

with his signature on each located just three miles

from his home in Maywood despite his testimony

on June 13, 2022 that he had never been a guest at

such local hotel / casino / motel within three miles

of his home without his wife. In fact, Cheryl Lopez’

neighbor acknowledges a brothel exists nearby to

Cheryl (Michelle Allen who personally served her @

her residence with court documents in May 2022)

and moreover another nearby neighbor Tina

Chaffin (05/23/2022 - 9pm) befriended appellant to

provided personal service of court document upon

“Cheryl” the same morning of “Robb Elementary”

massacre May 24, 2022, by the son of drug addict

unmarried female. This is most significant since

Tina Chaffin showed up @ a laundromat on

05/23/2022 blocks away from residence circa 9pm

and then agreed to meet appellant the following

28

morning @ the time the tragedy was carried out in

Texas. Also, please note Christopher is a former

U.S. Air Force enlisted associated with anger issues

striking his wife upon the face and neck for being

caught @ his residence in prostitution engagement,

these characters are a menace to society consumed

with their criminality to the point of converting the

Christopher home into a Brothel disguised as an

Airbnb where self-professed “Court officer” Robert

Valdez who threatened to rape Petitioner and acts

as a slumlord to the apt. ghetto he’s resided in for

over forty years and even had cocaine shipment

stored approx. 100 kilos, confiscated from a storage

container in front of his kitchen window that he

and his mother Elvira Valdez had the key for. This

roach motel has no landlord # listed and the city of

Maywood Civic Center where the F.B.I. conducted a

29

raid and arrested several corrupt council members

has no information in the property they can release

to the public they claim. Then, you have the third

leg of this trio Paul who has his enslaved wife

Celina forced to eat the Prostitution activity so she

can prop up a facade. This group of filth must be

kept away from Petitioner and his children and

since associate Cheryl Lopez (Queen) pretends to

not understand the danger these activities bring on

to Petitioner’s children this court is asked to issue

Writ overturning the complacency of the lower

courts having denied the pre-filing order requested

to permit the Civil Restraining Order cases and

Issuance to proceed and overcome all the

obstructions the criminal element has in place in

the lower courts is also requested. Moreover, the

reinstatement of U.S. Constitutional Civil Rights,

30

Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Rights of

the Disabled and Parental Rights must be

permitted, and abuse of discretion overcome reversed. Plaintiff / Petitioner fears for his and his

children’s safety since Respondent and his

associates / cohorts of these criminals is

overwhelming even for authorities, as such this

court is asked to grant Petition for Writ of

Certiorari.

Also, in support, please see Correspondences from

the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department, app.

C, relating to the criminal assault by Respondent

Sex Crimes — wife abuser Christopher Covarrubias

upon victim (see #B328530) Female — Dominique

Valdez on November 17, 2018 just a few miles (3.8

miles) from Brother-In-Law Robert’s apartment

complex — residence (where he has lived for more

31

than forty years — rent free as landlord). The

assault occurred @ 1863 East 69th Street, Los

Angeles, CA 90001 during a prostitution event

discovered by the visiting while still married to

assailant — striking her in the face and neck. He

was arrested and charged.

In fact, Christopher Covarrubias residence was/is

converted into a “Brothel” disguised as an “Airbnb”

next to Superior (a hasher) Foods and numerous

Market Warehouses with Long Haul Big Rig Semi Trucks even present. Please note this

criminal is/has been associated with U.S. Air Force

and other rogue participants. In addition to these

relevant facts, in support of Writ these sheriffs

correspondences, please note the Bicycle Hotel

Casino which produced 16 Registry Invoices for

Roberto Valdez who signed Robert Valdez

32

(Respondent AKA also Roberto Valdez) is located @

888 Bicycle Casino Drive, Bell Garden, CA 90201

only 3 miles drive from Respondent’s Brother-inLaw Robert’s apartment complex. These facts are

part of the initial Civil Harassment Restraining

Order Petition following threats of rape and bodily

harm and the crash landing of Red Air Flight 203 @

Miami International Airport June 21, 2022

originating from prostitution haven Santo

Domingo, Dominican Republic during which time

Respondent Robert was out of country evading

service of the Restraining Order Notice to appear

by the Los Angeles Sheriff (22STRO03598) +

(22STRO0546) filed June 15, 2022 and moreover, a

female sex trade associate Cheryl Lopez,

(16D001283) following a travel ban hearing on

June 13, 2022 (with Respondent Robert Valdez

33

testifying and committing perjury), appears to be

fleeing the burning plane on the tarmac in a 39second video posted by Actualidad Radio LLC and

reposted by Russian Television — RT News from

“@aviationbrk”. Now if these sex crimes + criminal

activities are not enough then you also have

another associate by the sex trafficking Respondent

Paul R. Figueroa (See B328532 and Case #23A812

U.S. Supreme Court) who is not only married to

Robert Valdez’ sister Celina Figueroa who has

covered up these sex crimes for years (at least 15

years) but is also directly connected to Respondent

Christopher Covarrubias and Cheryl Lopez.

Furthermore, Cheryl Lopez who is employed by an

international (South Korean based) company (as is

Paul Figueroa who is employed @ LAIRD Plastic, a

plastics company operating across into Mexico and

34

whom is of Puerto Rican descent) colluded with

Erika Tsimbalov (@zenbunny_soundhealing),

Ukrainian heritage who false accuse Plaintiff /

appellant Arthur Lopez of wrongdoing leading to a

(09/12/2016) 37 day false imprisonment before a

judge was compelled to dismiss all charges and

closing case without a trial after finding absolutely

no evidence of any wrong — 100% exonerated (Case

#16HM10451) but having to endure captivity sleep deprivation and abuse from O.C. Sheriff. In

fact, the motive and scheme by Cheryl Lopez —

Christopher Covarrubias — Paul Figueroa — Robert

Valdez — Erika Tsimbalov throughout this false

imprisonment was also to compromise a custody

hearing for modification of Plaintiffs minor

children protective order, which was supported

instantly by bias judge Stephanie George, who was

35

herself arrested on a child endangerment charge

November 9, 2016 (7pm). In addition, “Public

Defender” failed to file appeal on the adverse

custody matter ruling which Plaintiff was in

custody (coincidentally — or not — 37 days just

beyond the 30-day appeal period), further harming

Plaintiff and his children.

In summary, the Los Angeles County Sheriffs

Department has delayed the release of these two

correspondences dated May 12th and May 26th of

2023 needlessly for over a month and under false

pretense and under color of law since the (albeit

fragmented) released facts pertaining to this

criminal assault are very much in the Public

Interest to be released and not subject to exemption

as they have ultimately acknowledged. Moreover,

more facts and evidence is subject to release

36

especially since the Los Angeles Sheriffs

Department and Sheriff Robert Luna have been

repeatedly served with a Civil Subpoena (duces

tecum) as of April 13, 2023. Furthermore, the

Restraining Orders sought are to also protect

Plaintiff / Appellant’s children (2 of which are

minors, and the two females are 19 and 20 years

old) very much vulnerable.

Unfortunately, this respondent Christopher

Covarrubias has conspired to alienate Petitioner’s

children for over eight years to facilitate the

sponsoring of prostitution and sex trafficking and

extort money for Cheryl Lopez associate. He has

used others who are staffed @ Superior and

Appellate Courts as administrative staff to hamper

custody matters in Family Law Court in Orange

and also derail cases in Civil Unlimited Litigation

37

where Petitioner is Plaintiff. In fact, a first cousin

of Respondent brother-in-law Robert Valdez is

employed @ Fresno County Superior Court

(Soledad Echeagaray). In addition, two Family Law

Court staff members are also subjects of Civil

Restraining Orders Petitioner has petitioned under

Superior Court of California, County of Orange

Case #30-2022-01260365 and 30-2022-01260360

(Perla Elias and Kristal Gorospe respectively).

Furthermore, Petitioner has been targeted by other

U.S. Military associates in a hit and run and

physical assault on 10/07/2023 which was reported

to local police - Costa Mesa Police Department

Case #6-23-014764 and 23-014765 (Hit + Run and

physical assault reports respectively), the driver’s

name James Stanfield while the passenger, who

committed the assault, remains unnamed by James

38

Stanfield and the Costa Mesa Police Department

officers/detectives. Moreover, Petitioner continues

to be harassed and obstructed by way of cell/data

remote interference to stifle ongoing litigation and

meeting court-imposed deadlines for filings. In fact,

the physical assault on October 7, 2023, involved

extensive damage to cell phone Petitioner was

holding in his right hand before assailant’s strike to

Petitioner’s hand / wrist / arm. Additionally, on

August 24, 2023, Petitioner was targeted in

another hit and run incident involving a U.S. Post

Office white truck on the same day an opening brief

was due to the Court of Appeals on the matter

against this Respondent’s brother-in-law Robert

Valdez. The incident was reported to Santa Ana

Police - Case #2023-9348.

39

Writ of Certiorari Relief Sought

1) The immediate reversal of the California

Court of Appeals, Second District, Denial of a

Pre-filing order for the filing of the appeal

case known as Case #B3285310, and,

moreover, the immediate writ issuance for a

Civil Restraining Order against Respondent

Christopher Covarrubias for 5 years, CCP

527.06 protecting petitioner / plaintiff /

appellant Arthur Lopez and his children —

minors Luke Jesus Lopez and Noah

Abraham Lopez and 21 yr. old Tatiana Kayla

Lopez and 18 yr. old Thalia Kaitlyn Lopez for

a minimum of five years or longer as

permitted by the laws of the State of

40

California, CA Family Code 6320 (a)(b)(c),

7602, 3020, CCP 527.6

2) Furthermore, a writ to be issued to restrain

all of the Respondent’s cohorts and family

from harassing, stalking or harming

Petitioner and his children listed above in

any fashion. This restraining order is to

include a stay away order for a distance

permitted by CCP 527.6, Family Code 6320,

California law and to include stay away from

parties’ residences, places of worship,

schools, automobiles, cell phone tracking and

even monitoring of Petitioner’s court cases.

Furthermore, cohorts are to include

associates of all sorts including the U.S. Air

Force, Prostitution Rings, Sex Traffickers,

Prostitutes, Drug Trafficking, U.S. Military,

41

Local, State and Federal Law Enforcement

since conspiracy to deprive U.S.

Constitutional Civil Rights is actionable

under State and Federal Law - United States

Title 18 U.S. Code Section 241 and 242.

3) In addition, Protection is to encompass

Cohorts of Respondent in and outside of the

State of California. This is to say appellant /

petitioner Arthur Lopez and his children are

not to be harassed, tracked, stalked or

obstructed in any way by those also outside

of U.S. states or territories the likes of

Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Vietnam,

the Philippines, China, Haiti, the Caribbean,

Israel, Ukraine, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia,

etc. No prostitution associates of any sort is

to come anywhere near appellant / petitioner

42

nor his children as we are all residents of the

state of California.

Whitter Courthouse Stanley Mosk, County of

Orange Lamoreaux Justice Center, Santa

Ana Central Courthouse and Newport Beach

- Harbor Justice Center, and Miami-Dade

Courthouse in Miami, Florida — all banning

to deprive appellant and his children

protection under law and to bar the

disclosure of the ongoing sex trade from

44

California to Florida and beyond

internationally of which respondent is

intimately and actively involved. Preventing

a filing of case docs / appeal

4) The trial court and appellate court erred in

refusing court services to appellant despite

reasonable Americans with Disabilities Act

accommodation requests by phone and inperson due to his disabilities. Plainly stated

appellant’s disabilities and disabled status

was not a consideration of any sort by the

self-help division just as with the Federal

Americans with Disabilities Act itself — not a

consideration by the court and as such

accommodation(s) requests ignored.

5) Trial court erred by permitting court staff to

badger - harass and abuse appellant -

45

petitioner - including court security Los

Angeles County Sheriff (Nelly and others).

Whittier Court and Stanley Mosk court staff

and security L.A. Sheriff Deputies and

administrative staff operate like a mob —

belligerent — hostile — incompetent and as

such inflict emotional distress and cultivate

a very dangerous condition environment so

as to attempt to intimidate Plaintiff into

submission and silence a furtherance of U.S.

Constitution Civil Rights Deprivation under

Color of Law. 14th Amendment.

6) Trial court (and Appellate Court) erred in

refusing the filing and receiving of court

documents during business hours (March 7,

2023 and on other occasions as well) even

when attached to VL-110 applications (or in

46

the appellate court refusal of filings when

not accompanied by a proof of service — even

receiving of court documents).

7) Trial court and appellate court erred in not

granting of pre-filing order despite clear

evidence of the existence of criminal

harassment and unlawful conduct by

respondent justifying a restraining order in

favor and protection of petitioner and his

children. The criminal / unlawful conduct of

respondent including sex trafficking —

prostitution and Petitioner’s daughters of the

ages of 18 and 21. Denial of the VL-110

application despite serious criminality

amongst several respondent associates is an

abuse of discretion which has evolved in the

Massacre of 21 innocent students / staff @

47

Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas and more

recently the murder of Superior Court Judge

spouse named Cheryl just as Respondent’s

sex trafficking associate Cheryl Lopez.

8) Trial court and appellate court erred / failed

to recognize their own court staff s

involvement with criminal enterprises /

syndicates all of which sponsor prostitution —

sex trade - in collusion with Respondent and

in partnership with court security L.A.

County Sheriff Deputies under color of law

and as such further confirming the necessity

for the petitioned restraining order.

9) Trial court and appellate court erred in

failing to accept the Crash Landing of Red

Air #203 on June 21, 2022 @ Miami

International Airport originating from

48

Prostitution Haven Dominican Republic with

video capturing Respondent’s Sex Trade

associate Cheryl Lopez (Cheryl Queen maiden name) on tarmac fleeing burning

plane as sufficient threat to Petitioner and

his children to issue granting of VL-110

application and the due process to issue a

restraining order.

10) Trial court erred along with the appellate

court in failing to accept Robert Valdez’s

criminal conduct and threat to rape

appellant as an associate in sex trade of

respondent as cause to grant the VL-110

application so as to allow Due Process for the

issuance of the requested Restraining Order

11) Trial court erred in refusing to grant

Temporary Restraining Order, Pending

49

Hearing on Permanent Restraining Order

Issuance

12) Trial Court and appellate court abuses its

authority by sponsoring sex trade —

prostitution

13) Trial court and appellate court

systematically deprive Civil Rights and

rights provided for the disabled under the

ADA.

14) Trial court erred by abusing discretion in

failing to recognize that mother’s

prostitution — sex trade work — is “Not in the

Children’s Best Interest” see the herein

attached Points of Authority in support,

Family Code 3020 as such sufficient cause to

grant pre-filing order since pandering and

conspiring to promote sex trafficking is

50

unlawful all of which is not in the child’s best

interest and this restraining order needs to

be issued. Family code 3020, CCP 527.6.

51

REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION

This petition should be granted to restore Equal

Protection and Due Process Civil Rights under Law

as guaranteed by the United States Constitution,

14th amendment for Male father of four Petitioner

on matters related to Civil Restraining Orders

pursuant to California Statutes, including Family

Code 6320.(a)(b)(c) and CA Code of Civil procedure

527.6 especially as it pertains to the protection of

children (minor children) of Petitioner, Fam. Code

3020 and 7602. In doing so, granting of this petition

will also serve to curtail the enormous female

gender bias on matters of parental and custody

rights that has become common, custom practice in

California Family Law Superior Court whereby

90% of custody cases are granted in favor of female

mothers, depriving male fathers petitioner parental

52

rights / 14th amendment rights as well and for

which this restraining order is also essential to

prevent further deprivation of rights and cease

harm to Plaintiff and his children.

53

CONCLUSION

The petition for a writ of certiorari should be

granted.

Respectfully submitted,

Arthur Lopez
