INTRODUCTION/ STATEMENT OF FACTS
This Petition derives from the defendant United
States deliberate repeated taking violations
under
the
5 th
Amendment
of
the
U.S.
Constitution.
Plaintiff-Petitioner has been a target for these
taking schemes for many years and specifically in
this instance the defendant has executed a taking
plaintiffs $500,000,000.00 (Five Hundred Million
Dollars Net after taxes plus royalties) property
asset related estate claims associated with this
real estate property, also known as 11540 Hoxie
Dr, Tustin, CA 92782.
Moreover plaintiff property asset related to his
claims against MUFG Union Bank, NA including
4
Royalties due for Their Theft of Trade Secrets,
were taken by the defendant’s premeditated
schemes involving several layers of agents
including
Civilian
staff
Department
of
Defense
the
of
-
Airforce
Christopher
Covarrubias, Civilian staff from the U.S. Marine
Corp (Camp Pendleton - Colonel Tipton spouse -
Julie Tip ton, and Civilian staff from the U.S.
Navy (Tom Norris included) and Civilian staff
from the U.S. Postal Service (tampering -
obstructing Mail delivery to U.S. Courts) Civilian
staff from the Pentagon - Homeland Security, and
Much More over several years time.
In fact, defendant United States was not satisfied
with taking without just compensation his
properties related to his private residence but,
also schemed and executed the taking of his
5
Biblical
named,
two
sons
and
two
gifted
daughters, which ongoing now for over 10 years.
Along the way they orchestrated the taking of
Plaintiffs Multi-Million Dollar Auto Supreme
Financing Business.
Moreover, this petition will disclose how civilians
within the defendant’s Congress even omitted a
Civil Cause of Action statute for the Theft of
Trade Secrets by foreign entities but instead only
providing a Criminal cause of action statute, Title
18 USC § 1832.
In addition, this petition also discloses how the
U.S.D.O.J. has been complicit in these taking
violations and how the judiciary has also
participated
by
these
orchestrated
taking
violations in assigning bias judicial officers judges to plaintiffs civil lawsuit cases relief
6
resulting in no possible
avenue
for equal
protection under law and all the while, the
defendant United States labels these takings
without just compensation as legal which in itself
also satisfies a prerequisite relief for taking
violations under the Tucker Act 5th Amendment
of the U.S. Constitution.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE
To begin, the first abuse of discretion in this
matter
from
the
trial
court
involve
the
assignment of this case to a judicial officer who at
minimum presented the appearance of a conflict
of interest which plaintiff brought to the trial
court's review by Request for Reassignment of the
case to different judicial officer.
Excerpt of said motion follow these for clarity of
the severe appearance of a bias under which
plaintiff could not receive a fair trial and in
violation of 28 U.S.C. §455(a)(b).
The judicial officer is Judge Ryan Holte.
The Court erred in denied request for transfer of
case to a different judge.
8
The request was brought for transfer of case /
disqualification
of
Judge
Ryan
Holte
for
overwhelming good cause, abundant evidence,
and pursuant to several Federal statutes/codes.
First, Title 28 U.S.C.A. § 455(a). “Disqualification
of Justice, Judge, or Magistrate Judge” states:
“Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the
United States shall disqualify himself (herself) in
any proceeding in which his (her) impartiality
might reasonably be questioned.”
In this case, this United States Code alone is
sufficient to have Judge Ryan Holte disqualified
given his enormous ties with the Defendant —
United States — Military. Not only with the U.S.
Air Force, having been employed as a law clerk in
2006, but also, Partner - General Counsel — Co9
Inventor for United States Military - (Army
included)
Contractor
-
Counter
Echo
Solutions
(See
Appendix C) from 2012 through present according
to the United States Senate Committee on the
Judiciary Questionnaire, completed by Judge
Holte as part of his appointment/nomination
processes as, see Appendix C- (h), recent as 2019.
Moreover, it is conceivable that financial benefits
may have been (or ever continue) derived by
Judge Holte as a result of the Patent, See
Appendix C, Registered Counter Echo Solutions
as its application may be for Military Defense
since. It is described as a form of countering
incoming projectiles to summarize. (See Appendix
C). In any regard, even without some form of
royalty arrangement,
10
Judge
Holte
acknowledges
being
employed/partner with Counter Echo Solutions
and the contractor describes itself under the
“About” link on their webpage as a U.S. Military
partner in providing a variety of advanced
technology solutions. Furthermore, given this
case specifically involves U.S. Military Civilian
Staff Takings Claims Plaintiff is of a strong
opinion
that
Judge
Holte’s
impartiality
is
definitely and reasonably questionable and as
such is subject to disqualification pursuant to 28
U.S.C.A. 455(a). Moreover, 28 U.S.C.A. 455(b)
goes on to state: “He [She] shall also disqualify
himself in the following circumstances:
(1.) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice
concerning a party, or personal knowledge of
11
disputed
evidentiary
facts
concerning
the
proceeding;
(2.) Where in private practice he served as
lawyer... has been a material witness concerning
it; See Appx C (h)(i)
(3) Where he has served in governmental
employment and in such capacity participated...
concerning the proceeding...
concerning the
merits of the particular case in controversy;
(4) He knows that he, individually, or as a
fiduciary... has a financial interest in the subject
matter in controversy or in a party to the
proceeding, or any other interest that could be
substantially affected by the outcome of the
proceeding;
12
(5) He or his spouse, ... “A judge should inform
himself about his personal and fiduciary financial
interests, and make a reasonable effort to inform
himself about the personal financial interests of
his spouse and minor children residing in his
household.”
Given these additional disqualifying criteria
under 28 USC 455(b) and Judge Holte’s long
association with defendant U.S.-Military, to wit:
i. ) employment with U.S. Air Force;
ii. ) Co-Inventor — Contractor/Partner of U.S.
Military weaponry technology;
iii. ) financial interest in party — U.S be it the
patented weapon system sale to U.S. as Partner-
Counsel of U.S.
Contractor “Counter Echo
Solutions” or derivatives from such, see appendix
13
C,
C-(h),
C-(i),
(Patent adjusted Expiration
through 8/31/2034 -US20170115397A1, Patent
No. US 9,523,773 B2, US 10,338,226 B2, US
10,564,286 B2, US 11,067,696 B2, US 11,762,099
B2), or (iv) In Private Practices as General
Counsel for U.S. Contractor “Counter Echo
Solutions,” Association with U.S. lawyers in
transfer/sales of patented weapon system(s) to
defendant U.S. processes, and/or such lawyer
(judge) has been material witness concerning
matter in controversy (i.e. U.S. signal jamming
technology), or v.) has served in governmental
employment as counsel, adviser or material
witness concerning proceeding (any stage of
litigation matters) or expressed an (see appendix
C) opinion concerning the merits (i.e. U.S. signal
jamming technology for instance) of the case in
14
controversy (see appendix C) or (vi.) Judge Holte
knowing he individually, or as a fiduciary (i.e.
possibly Trustee of Will or Family Trust), or his
spouse or child has a financial interest in party -
defendant U.S. or in the subject matter, in
controversy, or any other interest that could be
substantially
affected
proceeding
issues
(ie
by
outcome
pertaining
to
of
the
signal
jamming technology).
More then, it would be beyond Plaintiff s reach to
gather all the associations Judge Holte has
engaged in with defendant U.S. -Military, but
given the undisputable facts related to Judge
Holte’s
role
as
Counsel,
Inventor,
Partner
Advisor, Patent beneficiary in U.S. Military
Weaponry Technology, U.S. employee (including
U.S. Air Force and as Partner of U.S. Contractor
15
— Exclusivity even Patent Expiration of 2036),
and possibly even Royalties still being derived; it
is abundantly clear that United States Title 28
U.S.C.A.§ 455 provides overwhelming authority
for (Recusal)
The Disqualification of Judicial Officer Ryan
Holte — Judge given this case specifically involves
Takings Claims related to the U.S. — Air Force,
Marines, Navy, and Their Civilian Staff and
more. Accordingly, Plaintiffs request for Judge
Holte’s recusal/disqualification pursuant to 28
USC § 455 should have been granted.
Next, the United States Code of Conduct for
Judges states:
•
Canon 1: “A judge should uphold the
integrity
and
independence
judiciary”
16
of
the
•
Canon
2:
impropriety
“A
judge
should
and
the
appearance
avoid
of
impropriety in all activities”
•
Canon 3: “A judge should perform the
duties of the office fairly, impartially and
diligently”
•
Canon 5: “A judge should refrain from
political activity (compliance with the Code
of Conduct)
Despite these basic directives it appears Judge Holte
has
remained
at
with
least
two
political
organizations for many years:
1. ) The Federalist Society (Executive Committee of
its Intellectual Property Practice Group)
2. ) Teneo Network (alliance defending freedom —
deemed “hate” group — founded). See appendix C, C-
(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g).
17
In the association with the Federalist Society, some
of their parameters that can be understood in conflict
with the Code of Conduct pertain to its political
activism. For instance, the organization is known for
and boasts of its influence over certain politicians
and their selection of (political nominees) based on
political biases traits. This conflicts with Canon #2
at best giving the appearance of impropriety and
diminishing public confidence.
Moreover, Judge Holte has held an Exec. Committee
of its Intellectual Property Practice Group role @ the
Federalist Society with ongoing website presence for
advertisement of appearances to include the prestige
of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims as a banner title
(fedsoc.org) - Washington Hilton November 16, 2024
(Canon 2(B)). In itself this Exec. Committee role
promoting law may be viewed as harmless, however,
18
the fact the organization itself is promoting biased
activism
politically
with
Judge
Holte’s
full
knowledge, at minimum dilutes Equal Protection
under law as guaranteed by the United States
Constitution, Fourteenth Amendment, especially
since the Federalist Society is not merely advocating
opposition to the persecution of lawyers and judges.
See “Canon 5 - A Judge Should Refrain from Political
Activity” (A) General Prohibitions.
A judge should not:
(1) act as a leader or hold any office in a Political
Organization; See appendix C-(e).
(2) make speeches for a political organization...
The Federalist Society hosts political events; in April
1982, it held its first event: a referendum entitled “A
19
Symposium on Federalism: Legal And Political
Ramifications”
Since
then,
the
political
evolution
of
this
organization has included former executive vice
president and current co-chairman, Leonard Leo,
advisor to certain politicians, at times, to pick
nominees for said politician(s).
Given these facts, without consideration to the
benefits of the nominee selections for politicians, The
Federalist Society, regardless of their mission
statement(s) publicly released, can and should be
accepted as a political activism organization. As
such, Judge Holte’s close associations at multiple
levels is in conflict with Canon 5 and cause for
disqualification / recusal from this case.
20
As to Teneo Network, founded by Alliance Defending
Freedom deemed a “Hate group” by The Southern
Poverty Law Center — See Appendix C-(d).
Moreover, the Chairman is also Leonard Leo
(propublica.org - posts 3/9/23 5 page; See Appendix
C-(g), article on the Radical Activism Organization
and its Chairman). Consequently, similar to the first
Judge Holte’s association with The Federalist
Society, the same bias, prejudices and violations of
Canon Rules under the Code of Conduct for United
States Judges are applicable here and as such
another
substantial
Recusal
I
ground for Judge
Holte’s
this
Case,
Disqualification
from
accordingly Plaintiffs Motion / Request should have
been granted. Third, See Constitutional Statutory
Provision 28 U.S.C.A. § 144 “Bias or Prejudice of
Judge” states: “Whenever a party to any proceeding
21
in a district court makes and files a timely and
sufficient affidavit that the judge before whom the
matter is pending has a personal bias or prejudice
either against him [her] or in favor of any adverse
party, such judge shall proceed no further there in,
that another judge shall be assigned to hear such
proceeding...
Despite how straight forward this Federal statute
reads on the subject of a United States Judge, it
references the District Court not a U.S. Federal
Claims Court, thus may be argued as not applicable
to Judge Holte. However, the statute specifically
references Bias or prejudice which is relevant to the
facts pertaining to this Motion and case and to Judge
Holte’s violations of U.S. Code of Conduct For Judges
and Title 28 USCA 455 and as such does serve to
reinforce the significance of upholding the U.S.
22
Constitutional Rights of Plaintiff-Litigants provided
by the Fourteenth Amendment as cited by the U.S.
Supreme Court in numerous case citation precedents
including: Ward v. Village of Monroeville, 409 U.S.
57 (1972)
Moreover, this case involves Takings Claims under
the U.S. Constitution, Fifth Amendment involving
defendant United States Civilian Staff - Pentagon,
see appendix C-(j), deployed undercover domestic
civilian operatives and schemes by which the
Takings are accomplished.
Which also involve signal jamming technology just as
Judge Holte has consulted-advised, see appendix C,
defendant United States for many years, even
securing patents related to such. In fact, Judge Holte
also acted as General Counsel-Advisor-Witness, see
Appendix C-(h), during these discussions with
23
lawyers
representing
defendant United
States
pertaining to matters involved in this case.
With this backdrop and all of the conflicts Judge
Holte’s involvement in this case triggers under 28
USCA §455 and the U.S. Code of Conduct for Judges
and all of the precedent the Supreme Court of the
United States has unambiguously articulated in
Ward v. Village of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57 (1972)
and many others,Plaintiff s Motion for Judge Holte’s
Recusal/Disqualification should have been granted.
Plaintiff also requested reassignment of this case to
a different judge pursuant to U.S. Court of Federal
Claims Rule 40.1.
In addition, Plaintiff requested the court take
Judicial Notice of Pending Appeal Case (#24-1860)
with the United States Court of Appeals For The
Federal Circuit which derives from the USCFC Case
24
#23-CV-0620 — Stephen Schwartz judge and involved
Chief Justice Elaine D. Kaplan, see Appendix C —(k),
who denied the Transfer of Case to a New Judge and
Reconsideration on 9/11/23. See appendix C-(k).
Therefore, Given Chief Justice Elaine S. Kaplan
remained as the designated Judicial Officer to review
Transfer of Case Requests/Motions under Rule 40.1
and Title 28 U.S.C.A. § 455 was also applicable for
this case related to its Transfer and with a previous
related case (albeit indirectly), Rule 40.2 The
transfer of case from Chief Judge Kaplan for the
requested transfer was also submitted in the Motion
given impartiality may be reasonably questioned
(455(a)) since the first case 23-0620 involved similar
Takings Claims issues as in this case. In addition,
maintaining Public Confidence in the impartiality of
the
court/judiciary
(Canon
25
2(A))
warrants
a
New/alternative Chief Judge having been assigned
for these aspects as well. In fact, Title 28 U.S.C. § 47
specifically provides the Disqualification of judge to
hear Appeal from the decision of a case OR issue
Tried by him (HER).

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND
AUTHORITIES
/
In Fact, the United States Supreme Court has held
in Ward v. Village of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57 (1972):
“Petitioner was denied a trial before a disinterested
and impartial judicial officer as guaranteed by the
Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment
where he was compelled to stand trial for traffic
offenses before the mayor who was responsible for
village finances and whose court, through fines,
forfeitures, costs and fees, provided a substantial
portion of village funds, Tumey v. Ohio, 273 U.S. 510
(1927).
A statutory provision for the disqualification of
interested or biased judges did not accord petitioner
sufficient safeguard and it is of no constitutional
relevance that petitioner could later be tried de novo
27
in another court, as he was entitled to an impartial
judge in the first instance. P. 409 U.S. 59-62.
Moreover, the U.S. Court of Federal Claims held in
Demodulation Inc. v. United States, 114 Fed. Cl. 655
(No. 11-236C) February 10th, 2014: “That judge’s
recusal for appearance of partiality warranted
vacatur of substantive orders.” Also, “Thus, the
safest course is to vacate Judge Braden’s substantive
orders because Justice Must Satisfy the Appearance
of Justice.”

ASSIGNING BIAS JUDICIAL OFFICERS
TO PLAINTIFF’S CASE(S) PRESENTS A SERIOUS
QUESTION OF LAW AND INFRINGEMENT ON
14TH
RIGHTS
AMENDMENT
PROTECTION
UNDER
LAWS
TO
AND
EQUAL
DUE
PROCESS
This Petition involves the recurring practice of the
Trial Courts assigning bias judicial officers to
Plaintiffs cases which presents a serious “Question
of Law”
since Plaintiff is
guaranteed
Equal
Protection under Law by the 14th Amendment of the
United States Constitution and having a bias
presiding judge (or even perceived bias judge)
deprives this 14th Amendment right/protection.
Moreover, United States 28 U.S. Code §455 states:
29
“(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the
United States shall disqualify himself in any
proceeding
in
his
which
impartiality
might
reasonably be questioned.
(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following
circumstances:
(1) where he has a personal bias or prejudice
concerning a party, or personal knowledge of
disputed
evidentiary
facts
concerning
the
proceeding;
(2) Where in private practice,
he
served...
concerning the matter, or the judge or such lawyer
has been a material witness concerning it;
(3) where
he
has
served
in
governmental
employment... concerning the proceeding... of the
particular case in controversy; Moreover, In This
30
Court of Federal Claims, in another instant case,
Presiding Judge Stephen Schwartz had advocated,
see Appendix C-(k), supported, argued and presented
opinions on matters related to the case repeatedly
related to Anti-Immigration (DACA) and Social
Security Benefits/Welfare Benefits and all benefit
spending as harmful. See Brewer v. Arizona Dream
Act Coalition, Supreme Court Docket No. 16-1180,
(U.S. Court of Appeals, Ninth Cir. Case #15-15307).
See Appendix C-(k).”
In another instance, Petitioner was compelled to
bring the following matter to this United States
Supreme Court following the U.S. Court of Federal
Claims Chief Judge Elaine D. Kaplan’s June 15,
2023 denial of Plaintiff s Request for Reassignment
of Case from Presiding Judge Stephen S. Schwartz
31
due to his bias in favor of defendant United States
and bias in favor of:
1.
Anti-Immigration
causes
against
children
immigrants and in support of deporting adults who
entered the United States as children (DACA),
Appellant
is
a
U.S.
Citizen
whose
mother
immigrated from Mexico as a minor.
2. In addition, Judge Schwartz has clearly expressed
his bias in favor of Anti-Social Security cause(s),
stating: “Social Security is better left to the private
sphere” and conveyed arguments in opposition to
vital federal benefit programs.
He’s advocated: “All human beings are morally equal
in certain respects, but inequality of means and
resources is a natural aspect of human condition.”
32
He also advocated: “There is a powerful case to be
made that all government spending on social
security, welfare, medical insurance and the like is
harmful... Social spending programs—including but
not limited to Social Security and federal benefits,
Medical Benefits—are not the solution, but part of
the problem.” (Stephen Schwartz, The Yale Herald
Opinion, February 18, 2005), See Appendix C-(k).
Moreover,
Appellant
is
permanently
disabled
following falls in December 22, 2015, and October 22,
2020 after suffering traumatic injuries that included
temporary paralysis and several permanent spine
compressions, cervical stenosis and various other
spine permanent injuries.
As a consequence to these serious permanent
disabilities Appellant is not employed, under care of
several medical doctors and consulted-evaluated by
33
Spine
Specialist
Surgeon
Samuel
Bederman,
Surgeon Ankers.
Moreover, as of December of 2022 Appellant was
granted Social Security Disability Benefits - $1250
initially and increased to $1360 as of January 1st,
2026, but remains indigent.
In addition, to U.S. Court of Federal Claims Chief
Judge Elaine D. Kaplan’s denial of Transfer of Case
of June 15, 2023, she also denied Appellant’s Request
for Reconsideration on 9/11/2023 and furthermore,
barred any further filings for the case (#23-0620C).
II — Takings Violations under the V Amendment of
U.S. Constitution
In addition, in this Case,
The U. S's attacks involved the Taking of Plaintiffs
asset/property related interest in $500,000,000 net
34
after taxes plus royalties, relief case and Taking of
His Children for better than 10 years.
This Petition stems from one of latest attack against
Plaintiff by United States Takings violations see
United States Supreme Court Precedence in: United
States v. Dickinson, 331 U.S. 754 (1947) where they
stated: “When dealing with a problem which arises
under
such
diverse
circumstances,
procedural
rigidities should be avoided. All that we are here
holding is that, when the Government chooses not to
condemn land but to bring about a taking by a
continuing process of physical events, the owner is
not required to resort either to piecemeal or to
premature
litigation
to
ascertain
the
just
compensation for what is really ‘taken’.”
also stated after citing: Peabody v. United States,
231 U.S. 530, 539
35
“Of course, payment need not only be made for what
is taken, but for all that the Government takes. It
must pay. When it takes property by flooding, it
takes the land which it permanently floods as well as
that which inevitably washes away as a result of that
flooding.”
The defendant United States has engaged endless
number
of Civilian Asset Resources to
Take
Plaintiffs property but also to Take any and all
means
of obtaining Relief for these
Takings
violations.
These include Civilian Resources from the United
States Pentagon, Civilian Division of the United
States Air Force National Defense Department
including Christopher Covarrubias, civilian staff of
the United States Postal Service, U.S. Treasury,
civilian
staff with
the
36
United
States
Courts
Judiciary, civilian spouse of United States Marine
Corp. Colonel Tipton- Julie Tip ton, even involving
civilian staff of the U.S. Congress to exclude Civil
Cause of Action for Theft of Trade Secrets by (18 USC
1831/32)
Foreign
Entities
like
Banking
Conglomerate Japanese Mitsubishi UFJ (MUFG
Union Bank, N.A.).
Moreover, the United States has also recruited
civilian resources from outside the U.S. to target
Plaintiff in these Takings schemes.
However, domestically clandestine Pentagon assets
have been relentless in these processes for many
years to prolong the damage to Plaintiff. See
Appendix C-(j).
37
Plaintiffs minor children have also been taken by
these concerted Takings schemes carried out by the
United States.
Unfortunately, U.S. Dept, of Defense civilian (USAF)
Christopher Covarrubias has conspired to alienate
Petitioner’s children for over eight years to facilitate
the sponsoring of these Takings Violations, utilizing
associates to likes of Plaintiffs Children’s Mother —
Cheryl Lopez, brother-in-laws Robert Valdez and
Paul Figueroa.
He has used others who are staffed at 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 where
r
Petitioner is Plaintiff.
38
In fact, a first cousin of brother-in-law Robert Valdez
is employed at Fresno County Superior Court
(Soledad Echeagaray).
In addition, two Family Law Court staff members
were also subjects of Civil Restraining Orders
Petitioner had petitioned under Superior Court of
CA, Co. 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. staff associates in intentional harm and
physical assault on 10/7/2023 which was reported to
local police — Costa Mesa Police Dept. Case #23014764 and 23-014765 (Hit & Run and Physical
Assault Report respectively), the driver’s name
James Stanfield while the passenger, who committed
39
the assault, remains unnamed Costa Mesa Police
Department 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 assailants 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 Covarrubias Brother-In-Law Robert Valdez. The
incident was reported to Santa Ana Police — Case
#2023-19348.
40
Please note Taylor v. United States, 959 F.3d 1081
(Fed. Cir. 2020) involving a Takings Claim where
o
plaintiffs alleged the U.S. government unlawfully
seized property...
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit,
stating: “We noted that the complaint involved the
Takings Clause and sought remedy under that
clause, and we concluded:
‘That the complaint suggests the United States may
have acted tortiously towards the Appellant does not
remove it from the jurisdiction of the Court of
Federal Claims’ id at 1353. We explained that, even
if the complaint’s tort characterization made the
complaint a ‘multipurpose’ one, the multipurpose
nature of the complaint did not deprive the Court of
Federal Claims of jurisdiction to entertain the
Takings Claim alleged therein’ id. 1354. In so ruling,
41
we applied to a tort-Taking overlap the dual wrong
rationale of Del Rio Drilling Programs, Inc. v. United
o
States, 146 F.3d 1358, 1363-64 (Fed. Cir. 1998), and
Rith Energy, Inc. v. United States, 247 F.3d 1355,
1365 (Fed. Cir. 2001). That precedent applies to this
case.”
Next, in this Case, Plaintiff has certainly stated
sufficient facts to state a claim for which this Court
has jurisdiction under the Takings Clause of the
United States Constitution’s Fifth Amendment:
a.) Value of Property Asset related to Plaintiffs Case
against
MUFG
Union
Bank,
N.A.
et
al.
$500,000,000.00 (Five Hundred Million Dollars Net
after taxes plus royalties) which was compromised by
defendants
orchestrated
purposeful
continuous
Takings Violations/Schemes with full empowerment
of
the
defendant’s
organized
42
agents/agencies
including Department of Justice, Defense, U.S.
Courts Administration, Law Enforcement, Judicial
Branches including Homeland (David Maggard Jr)
Security, U.S. Marshals and U.S. Post Office,
without just compensation.
b.)
Value
of Property/Asset/Personal
Property
Ongoing of Rights through Takings (10 years)
Violations/Schemes related to Plaintiffs Children
(Child)
Please see United States Supreme Court holding in
Armstrong v. United States, 364 U.S. 40 (June 27,
1960): “Where terms of contract between contractor
and the United States showed conclusively that
contractor and not the United States, had title to
boat hulls under construction when materialmen
furnished
materials
to
contractor,
liens
of
materialmen could attach to boat hulls under
43
construction and manufacturing materials, and that
liens
gave
materialmen
compensable
property
interests.”
Just as in this case where Plaintiff is the sole
beneficiary/Plaintiff/Owner of the various Takings
Violations Cases involved/targeted by Defendant
U.S. including Plaintiffs Children. It should also be
noted that the Supreme Court of the United States
has deemed children a property solely belonging to
parents as Parental Right [14th Amend] as has the
State of California deemed children property of
parents (Shea v. Shea).
See:
Michaell H. v. Gerald D., 491 U.S. 110 (1989)

“Parental Right” CA adopted harsh rule that the

See also, Shea v. Shea, 100 Cal. App. 2d 60, (October
23rd,
1950), California Court of Appeal, First
District, Division One The Appellate Court holding:
"... The right of a fit and proper parent to have
custody of his child is in the nature of a Property
Right and Paramount to the Welfare and Best
Interests of the Child.” also, “California has, in effect,
adopted the harsh rule that the right of a fit and
45
proper parent to have the custody of his child is
somewhat in the nature of a Property Right” And,

2012) and, M.L.B. v. S.L.J., 519 U.S. 102 (Dec 16th,
1996) The Supreme Court holding: Choices about
marriage, family life, and upbringing of children are
among associational rights ranked as of basic
importance in our society, rights sheltered by 14th
Amendment
against
State’s
unwarranted
usurpation, disregard or disrespect.

U.S. 158 (January 31st, 1944) And in Meyer v.

because he may be unable to furnish the child a home
with him; he still has the right to custody...”
The Defendant United States has spared no expense
@ Taking Plaintiffs Properties and then attempting
to cover it up. The Plaintiff is U.S. born Mexican
Heritage,
Catholic Christian-Male Heterosexual
Father of Four (2 Boys with Biblical names given to
them by Plaintiff and Two Daughters), Disabled and
59 years old, receiving Social Security Disability
Benefits as the only means of support financially
monthly.
Plaintiffs private Residence @ 11540 Hoxie. Tustin,
California 92782 (Now with an estimated value of $5
million dollars) provided for the financial basis for
the launching of his solely owned auto finance
company “Liberty Credit Corp.” after a 20 yr. career
47
with his previous employer (founded by Judaism
Heritage Canadian Family) based out of So. Ca. came
to an abrupt end in 2007 and which also operated in
the
subprime
auto lending industry.
In fact,
Plaintiffs business was established directly one floor
level below the Social Security Field Office in Santa
Ana, California in 2009 (at the time this fact seemed
insignificant).
However, in retrospect defendant United States was
already engaged in their Takings scheme upon
Plaintiff from the very onset.
Plaintiff s Home and Business Banking Relationship
had been Union Bank of California — later renamed
to MUFG Union Bank, N.A., et al as the parent
company based out of Tokyo, Japan Mitsubishi UFJ.
Then came the F.B.I. probe and U.S. Department of
Justice investigation against the bank, culminating
48
in a Multi-Million Dollar fine related to Money
Laundering violations. Then came new banking
relationship with H.S.B.C. Bank Plaintiff and his
family developed as he attempted to grow his
business from its very successful launch. But then
again came the FBI and the U.S. Department of
Justice, with another probe-investigation and multi
million dollar fine to the extent of placing former FBI
Director on board of directors.
Then came the establishment of MUFG Union Bank,
N.As Headquarters-Offices in New York City, New
York and their Reneging on Financing Expansion of
Lines of Credit as promised when they demanded
Plaintiffs Business Plan with Confidential Trade
secrets related to his Sub-prime Auto Finance
Business at the onset.
49
Then U.S. Trustee pushed Plaintiffs Home into
foreclosure by confiscating $53,000 Promissory Note,
which represented more than enough to cover
Mortgage Arrearage and then Plaintiff learned the
U.S. Congress omitted Civil Cause of Action under
the “Theft of Trade Secrets” Statute 18 USC §§
1831/32 preventing Plaintiff from obtaining Relief
for
MUFG
Union
Bank,
N.A.
implementing
Plaintiffs Trade Secrets into their Retail Banking
Operations
in
the
United
States
without
I
authorization, through the U.S. District Court. Then,
Plaintiff learned U.S. Airforce Dept, of National
Defense agent Christopher Covarrubias and two
brothers-in-law associates also targeted Plaintiff to
also take his Children and Child Mothers to further
prevent Plaintiff from obtaining Relief through Civil
50
Action against MUFG Union Bank, N.A. and derail
his case(s).
Next Came the United States Postal Service
Civilians creating unnecessary delays in mail
delivery so as to cause/facilitate the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals to derail Appeal case(s). In one
instance, the U.S. Postal Service took a week to
deliver
correspondence
from
Orange
County
California to San Francisco California, so as to allow
the Court to Dismiss Plaintiffs Case.
Then Came The United States Marshall Service who
provides security for the Supreme Court and screens
incoming mail and who have repeatedly destroyed
Plaintiffs filings with the Supreme Court. These
Schemes are ongoing!
It should also be noted that the Supreme Court of the
United States has also ruled certain rights related to
51
custody and child of parents as Property Rights, see
Darlington v. Turner, 202 U.S. 195 (May 14, 1906),
holding: and, also, Astrue v. Capato ex rel. BNC, 566
U.S. 541 (May 21, 2012), Also, M.L.B. v. S.L.J., 519
U.S. 102 (Dec 16, 1996) holding: choices about
marriage, family life and upbringing of children, are
among associational rights ranked as of basic
importance in our society, rights sheltered by the
14th
Amendment...
and
also,
Prince
v.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 321 U.S. 158
(January 31, 1944) holding: “It is cardinal with us
that the custody, care and nurture of the child reside
first in the parents...”
In addition, Plaintiff clearly stated Takings claims
against defendant U.S. pertaining to the taking of
Plaintiffs children (4) for over 11 years now through
intentional takings schemes involving many United
52
States Civilian moving, clandestine parties and
associates.
These also include Marine; Colonel Tipton Civilian
Spouse Julie Tipton, Air Force Dept of Defense Agent
Civilian
Christopher
Covarrubias
and
Navy
(Civilian) associates the likes of Tom Norris and
many more.
The value of these Takings Violations exceed the
Relief sought through this action case. Moreover,
U.S. Pentagon also complicit as to the ongoing U.S.
covert action in this regard.
Also, numerous state and federal Appellate Courts
have held child-children as property right of parents
— see former State of California Appellate Court,
First District Division One Holding in “Shea v.
Shea”, 100 Cal. App. 2d 60 (October 23, 1950)
“California has in effect adopted the harsh rule that
53
the right of a fit and proper parent to have the
custody of his child is in the nature of a property
right and paramount to the welfare and best interest
of the Child.”
Moreover, Plaintiffs Takings Claims are not Time
Barred for an abundance of Tolling Authorities (see
Table
of Authorities
attached)
including
the
uncertainty doctrine
“Delayed Accrual” — see this Court’s ruling in Yuriy
Prakhin v. United States, No. 14-924L (July 29,
2015) 122 Fed. Cl. 483 holding: “Homeowner stated
facially
plausible
claim
that
the
justifiable
uncertainty doctrine delayed accrual of his Takings
Claim such that dismissal on limitations ground was
not warranted.”
Just as in this case, Plaintiff discovered U.S. Air
Force Dept of Defense Civilian Agent Christopher
54
Covarrubias’ direct involvement in these Takings
Claims, not until 2023 (possibly April 12th, 2023)
and the associate Cheryl Lopez, Crash landing of a
Red Air #203 Originating in Prostitution Haven
(including
under
the
age
of
18
prostitution)
Dominican Republic, occurred June 21st, 2022 -
Miami Int’l Airport. These monumental events
helped connect
the
U.S.
various
participants.
Moreover, the alternative 2nd Claims did not prove
fruitless and the extent of the U.S. Takings Damage
crystalized until October 2nd, 2023. Furthermore,
these events are actual facts (evidence) and not
implausible but very much plausible. Plaintiffs
Arthur Lopez has been repeatedly persecuted by
Defendant relentlessly to take his family including
four children, so as to profit, self-enrich unjustly, and
55
sponsor Takings Schemes and utilize Plaintiffs
children and mother (Cheryl Lopez).
The defendant has utilized whatever resources it
deems necessary including staff of Air Force jets to
promote these Takings Violations. Coast to Coast
California to Florida and beyond.
This case involves civilian Dept of Defense U.S. Air
Force agent
Christopher Covarrubias and his
brother-in-law including Paul Figueroa and Robert
Valdez, who resides only three miles away from his
“brothel for” home 1863 East 69nd Street, Los
Angeles, CA 90001, and Valdez’s 40 yr. residence in
a decrepit 500 sq. ft. apartment is located @6117
Woodward (Street/Avenue), Apt. G, Maywood, CA
90270, while Figueroa’s residence is 11761 Adelle,
Santa Fe Springs, CA 90670.
56
They have colluded with Air Force Dept of Defense
Civilian Resources to utilize Cheryl Lopez as part of
this elaborate Takings Scheme. See Christopher’s
declaration filed with the Superior Court, County of
Los Angeles, see appendix D.
And also, Los Angeles Sheriff Department arrest
correspondence. These demonstrate the extent to
which Department of Defense agents would go to
cover up Takings Scheme. First the assault on his
former spouse Dominique Valdez when caught with
associate at their home.
Then, his declaration which misrepresents the facts
of his assault (Paragraph 10) and also uses as pretext
the cause for his actions his dismay for his spouse not
having a job as she was getting an education. This
language is precisely the pretext used by Plaintiffs
children’s mother Cheryl Lopez conveyed to Newport
57
Beach Police Officers November 2015 as cause for
her dismay and catalyst for the altercation that
resulted with Plaintiff (for which he was exonerated
of any wrongdoing).
These parallel events are a direct link between
Covarrubias, Dept, of Defense and Cheryl Lopez and
Robert Valdez/Paul Figueroa and Plaintiff Arthur
Lopez as a Target for the Takings Violations related
to his Children by Defendant U.S.A. — By breaking
Plaintiffs Family Unit, they could utilize Cheryl
Lopez to alienate Plaintiff and his children ongoing
for over ten years now.
Also, in First English Evangelical Lutheran Church
of Glendale v. County of Los Angeles, California, 482
U.S. 304 (June 9, 1987), holding:
1) Claim that earlier California Supreme Court
decision had improperly held that just compensation
58
clause did not require compensation as remedy for
temporary
regulatory
‘takings’)
was
properly
presented; 2) Under just compensation clause, where
government has
taken property by land use
regulation, landowner may recover damages for
taking before it is finally determined that regulation
constitutes a ‘taking’ of his property.”
Also, see Lucas v. So. Carolina Coastal Council, 505
U.S.
1003
government
(June
29,
1992),
holding:
required
regulation
“Since
compensation
unless certain background principles prohibited use
as landowner intended...”
See Attached Parental Rights Precedence Points of
Authority.
Ongoing Interference w/ Due Process Plaintiff has
uncovered and conveyed to Appellate Court and the
Trial Court very significant “Conflict of Interest”,
59
standard operating procedures within the Trial
Court, United States Court of Federal Claims.
These conflicts not only exist within the intake clerk
of court
department which
has
in
the
past
lost/deleted new court filings from Plaintiff (related
to the Howard Supv), but also the repeated
occurrence of assigning bias judicial officers to
Plaintiffs cases, such as in strong political activists
against Social Security Benefits — Judge Stephen
Schwartz (Member of Federalist Society whose
founder provided guidance to political figures &
former Vice President of Federalist Society Chapter
in School); and Judge Ryan Holte, not only with
strong ties with Defendant — Military as Contractor
Counter-Echo Solutions (Partner-Counsel) but also
remained with at least two political organizations for
many years:
60
1. ) The Federalist Society (Exec. Committee of its
Intellectual Property Practice Group)
2. ) Teneo Network (Deemed Hate Group — founded
Alliance Defending Freedom)
Judge Holte who also worked as a law clerk for the
Trial Court Judge in this case, SR Judge Loren
Smith. These indisputable facts are all basis for
disqualification of a judicial officer under Federal
Law, Title 28 U.S.C. § 455 and the United States
Code of Conduct for Judges Canon 1-5.
In fact, Canon 2 states: “Judge should avoid
impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all
activities.”
As such, even SR Trial Court Judge Loren Smith
actions on February 28th, 2025 would at best appear
an act of impropriety given his quick dismissal order
61
(USCFC 23-1742) on the same day Plaintiffs Motion
to Transfer Case (due to Judge Ryan Holte’s conflicts
of interest under 28 U.S.C. § 455) given he was her
former law clerk. This apparent retaliatory act also
negated Plaintiffs request for leave to amend
complaint to possibly add legal theories, facts,
claims...
See U.S. Supreme Court holding in Foman v. Davis,
371 U.S. 178 (1962), “Leave to Amend should be
freely given...”
These facts also present abundant good cause to have
denied Defendant’s Motion To Brush This Case
Under The Rug for summary affirmance.
See, Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals, et al. v. United
States, 378 F.3d 1346 (Fed. Cir. 2004)
62
We
have
specifically
held
that
Tucker
Act
jurisdiction existed over a complaint that asserted a
Taking Claim notwithstanding that the complaint
also characterized the same government conduct as
tortious.
See Complete Points - Table of Authorities.
In this case clear claims involving U.S. divisions such
as Pentagon operatives, Homeland Security agents,
Department of Defense executing Takings Violations
without just compensation are included in the Initial
Complaint and furthermore the Trial Court failed to
permit Plaintiff to Amend Complaint (Rule 15, Fed.
Rule of Civil Procedure), Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S.
178 (1962). It should also be noted that the trial court
was made aware of Plaintiffs Motion To Transfer
Case (Disqualify Judge Ryan Holte) on Active Case
25-145 on February 28th, 2025. On the same day the
63
Trial Court dismissed Case 23-1742 by Order of
Senior Judge Loren A. Smith, for whom Judge Ryan
Holte interned 2008-2009.
Moreover, it is conceivable that as Senior Judge
Loren A. Smith may also have been tasked with
transfer case decisioning.
In any event Plaintiff also filed a Motion To Transfer
Case 23-0620. From Judge Stephen Schwartz for
bias and the denial of said motion was cited as a basis
for the ensuing Appeal Case to Appellate court under
Case # 24-1860 which has proceeded to the United
States
Supreme
Court,
for
which
remains
unfinalized.
For these facts related to Defendant USAs Takings
violations, Plaintiff remains firm on the facts that
supports serious conflict of interest and bias
pertaining to Judge Ryan Holte (Stephen Schwartz)
64
which warranted them being recused from Plaintiffs
cases. As such, these facts make clear the necessity
to have this case petition for Writ of Certiorari
granted; Plaintiff reiterates his request for Relief as
prayed.
Next,
the
United
States
Constitution,
Fifth
Amendment does not in any way exclude minor
children as property of parent, father or mother for
that matter, nor does it provide a definition for
property. Moreover, children are generally legally
and morally the property of their parents at the very
least through the age of 18. Even pets and slaves
(when it was permitted) were regarded as property.
It’s considered normal for adults/parents to dictate to
their children what they should believe, what they
should wear and how they should act. Pierce v.
65
Society of Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and
Mary. 268 U.S. 510 (1925)
In fact, the Supreme Court of the United States held
in Troxel v. Granville, 530 U.S. 57 (2000). Also, in
Trimble v. Gordon, 430 U.S. 762 (1977).
Also, in Stevenson’s Heirs v. Sullivant, 18 U.S. 207
(1820). Moreover, in M.L.B. v. S.L.J., 519 U.S. 102
(1996) “the interest of parents in their relationship
with their children is sufficiently fundamental to
come within the finite class of liberty interests
protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.”
Also, in Lassiter v. Department of Social Services of
Durham City, 452 U.S.
18 (1981), the Court
characterized the parent’s interest as “commanding”,
indeed far more precious than any Property Right.”
455 U.S. at 774.
66
Furthermore, none of these Taking’s violations could
go on without full knowledge of the United States
Pentagon and Homeland security/FBI as matters
related to unconstitutional acts have been ongoing
for some time with numerous participants and
reported by plaintiff.
These schemes of “Takings” by the U.S. is not new
since the Bowman Act of 1883, ch. 116, 22 Stat. 485
addressed similar schemes of “Takings”.
In fact, throughout more recent events the U.S. has
been involved in several military conflicts one way or
another,
including
Ukraine
and
Middle
East
Nations.
Plaintiff and his children are Catholic Christians
with well documented religious events for which the
defendant has
sought to
compensation.
67
utilize without just
Therefore, the Truth is Plaintiff has very valid
Takings claims under the 5th Amend, of the U.S.
Constitution which is money mandating.
Violations by these I this defendant does not
invalidate Plaintiffs Takings claims. Neither do the
defendant’s Tort violations.

UNITED STATES TOLLING AUTHORITIES
Court of Federal Claims ruling in Yuriy Prakhin v.
United States, Defendant, 122 Fed. Cl. 483, July 29,
2015 - No. 14-924L; Holding: “The Court of Federal
Claims, Braden, J. held that homeowner stated
facially
plausible
claim
that
the
justifiable
uncertainty doctrine delayed accrual of his Takings
claim, such that dismissal on limitations ground was
not warranted.”
Also see California’s Supreme Court holding in: Fox
Brandi v. Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., 35 Cal. 4th
797 (May 9th, 2005), No. S121173 (and citing
Norgart v. Upjohn Co., 21 Cal. 4th 383 (1999)
Ruling:
“(1) We conclude that, under the delayed discovery
rule, a cause of action accrues and the statute of
69
limitations begins to run when the plaintiff has
reason to suspect an injury and some wrongful cause,
unless the plaintiff pleads and proves that a
reasonable investigation at that time would not have
revealed a factual basis for that particular cause of
action, in that case, the statute of limitations for that
cause will be tolled until such time as a reasonable
investigation would have revealed its factual basis.”
Also
see
attached
Table
of Authorities
and
Memorandum In Support.
Just as in this present matter defendant’s Takings
scheme ongoing carried out in a clandestine created
justifiable uncertainty for delayed accrual and
suspension of the limitations period.
Firstly, further authority for tolling of the statute of
limitations is the Continuing Violations Doctrine
and Alternative 2nd Claims Doctrine, see United
70
States Supreme Court ruling in Amtrak v. Morgan,
536 U.S. 101 (June 2002) which held:
“A Title VII plaintiff raising claims of discrete
discriminatory or retaliatory acts must file his
charge within the appropriate 180- or 300-day
period, but a charge alleging a hostile work
environment will not be time barred if all acts
constituting the claim are part of the same unlawful
practice and at least one act falls within the filing
period; in neither instance is a court precluded from
applying equitable doctrines that may toll or limit
the time period.” pp. 108-122. Just as in this present
case, the defendant has continuously targeted
Plaintiff for Takings schemes whereby all Plaintiffs
property - assets, family, money, etc. has been taken
by defendant over many years time in clandestine to
71
avoid accountability and just compensation to
Plaintiff.
Hence Continuing Violation Doctrine justifiably tolls
the limitations period and where at least one
Takings act well falls within the 6 yr filing period,
having been discovered in 2023.
Also see California Supreme Court holding in
Richards v. CH2M Hill, Inc. (2001) 26 Cal. 4th 801
(and
Table
of Authorities
and
Memorandum
attached).
The
Supreme
Court
concluded:
‘...
we
must
determine the scope of the “Continuing Violations
Doctrine.” That doctrine, described at greater length
below, allows liability for unlawful employer conduct
occurring outside the statute of limitations if it is
sufficiently connected to unlawful conduct within the
limitations period. Precisely as in this present case,
72
the defendant has continuously carried out Takings
Violations
against
so
Plaintiff
as
to
shield
associate(s). Moreover, the defendant continues to
carry out these schemes to this day, recently two Hit
+ Run Events against Plaintiff 8/24/2023 and
10/7/2023 (Reported to Santa Ana Police and Costa
Mesa
Police
respectively),
the
first
involving
Defendant - US Mail carrier and also Defendant U.S.
staff.
See Appendix D & E (Covarrubias- LA Sheriff Dept,
arrest reports and Declaration).
Furthermore, US Marine Corp Colonel Tipton’s, see
Appendix E, (civilian spouse Julie Tipton having
been posted @ Plaintiffs Church Parish School
—2018— as Principal) to preclude Plaintiff from
worshipping/attending mass; following his children
73
being revoked from attending school by breach of
contract.
All of which detail further takings schemes by the
defendant.
Moreover, Plaintiff cited sound tolling authority such
as Equitable Tolling — Continuing Violations I
Tolling
Doctrines,
Alternative
Claims
(2nd)
Doctrine, etc.; See ruling in Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556
U.S. 662, 678 (2009), holding: “Whereby a Court
should accept the facts pleaded in the complaint as
true...”
Furthermore, Plaintiff has backed up the facts stated
in the complaint with evidence having provided
reference to letters to the U.S. Dept, of Justice,
names of former Marines, Navy and Air Force
agents/civilian,
specific
events
held
@
Camp
Pendleton, in support of claims related to Takings
74
Violations, reports to the F.C.C., local LA Sheriff,
local police, prostitution rings, taking ViolationsSchemes as the mechanism propelling in Takings
schemes by the United States-associates/staff etc.,
videos and more, all of which surpasses plausible
standard established by Bell Atlantic v. Twombly,
550 U.S. 544 (2007),
Furthermore, alienating Plaintiffs four children by
those schemes also constitutes an illegal exaction by
the defendant under the Takings Clause of the U.S.
Constitution 5th Amendment.
So-called Illegal Exactions or unlawful Exactions are
an amorphous category of government activities with
two unifying characteristics:
(1) the government act in its sovereign capacity but
beyond its authority, and (ie.following reference
to letters to the U.S. Dept, of Justice — then
75
being revoked from attending school by breach
of contract.)
(2) its action enriches the Government at a
person's or organization expense;
In this case Plaintiff as a person, has also been
sole shareholder and founder of an auto finance
company "Liberty Credit Corp" which has also
been forced out of operation by the defendant's
schemes of "Takings" violations; all the while,
the defendant has been financially enriched, by
these unconstitutional Takings schemes to the
detriment of Plaintiff immeasurably. See the
attached points of authority and memorandums
in support.
To be
abundantly,
clear the
defendant
has
attempted
to
avoid
accountability for their Takings scheme by
operating in clandestine, and disguising then76
covert operations as lawful which in itself
satisfies a Takings claim prerequisite
Relief, is sought for these Takings Violations by U.S.
Civilian, State affiliate and civilian U.S. Air Force,
Marine Navy associates of Department of Defense
who have had a hand in these Taking schemes must
be held accountable by this court for the Takings
Violations without just Compensation as provided by
the 5th Amendment.
Also a continuance of this grave charade would be to
the detriment of Plaintiff and his children, see
Exhibit "C-J" which further supports the widespread
origin
covert
programs
being
carried
out
clandestinely just as Plaintiff has described for many
years without knowledge of previous reports being
issued on.
77
Furthermore, given the civilian branches signature
reduction of the defendant have been involved By
High Command, above Colonel, certain.
United States high command regulations — Pentagon
Dept being executed is also addressed by U.S.
Supreme Court precedent such as in "Horne v.
Department of Agriculture, 576 U.S. 350 (June 22,
2015)"
Holding:
1) Regulatory
reserve
requirement
was
a
physical "taking".
2) Failure to pay plaintiff (Drowers) violated the
Fifth Amendment "Takings Clause".
3) Retention of contingent interest in portion (of
raising) value did not negate government's
duty to pay just compensation.
78
4) Mandate to reserve raisins as condition to
engage in the market, was a per se Taking.
Moreover,
in
the
present
case
worsening
interference/prolonging Taking Violations include
defendant U.S.A, enlisting additional allies of foreign
governments in Israel, Ukraine, Philippines, Japan,
South Korea, United Kingdom, etc.; in fact, even
representatives have been afforded impunity in these
assaults upon plaintiff.
These domestic and foreign entities include publicly
traded
enterprises
and
their
staff
assisting
defendant in these Taking schemes by way of
obstruction, delays, severe efforts to compromise
deadlines and due process, as such exceptions to res
judicata by precedent established by the United
States Supreme Court in Taylor v. Sturgell U.S. 880
(2008).
79
Also see United States Supreme Court holding in
Knick v. Township of Scott, Pennsylvania, et al., 139
S. Ct. 2162, No. 17-647 (June 21, 2019), property
owner has an actionable Fifth Amendment Takings
claim when government takes his property without
paying for it and therefore may bring his claim in
federal court under §1983; at that time overruling
Williamson County Regional Planning Comm'n v.
Hamilton Bank of Johnson City, 473 U.S. 172,105 S.
Ct. 3108, 87 L. Ed. 2d 126.aking.

REASONS FOR GRANTING THE PETITION
Petition Should Be Granted To Uphold United States
Constitutional Civil Rights including 5th and 14th
Amendments - Takings Clause and Equal Protection
— Due Process Under Law, respectively.
Moreover, petition should be granted to maintain
neutral judicial officers on the bench for not only
criminal but also civil litigation cases as provided by
28 U.S. Code § 455 and United States Code of
Conduct for Federal Judges.
In addition, independence of the judicial branch
must be ensured and protected by preventing
individuals
from
manipulating
the
judge
selection/nomination processes.
Lastly, plaintiff is due just compensation for
defendants
Takings
Violations,
81
and
the
Reunification of Plaintiff and his 14 years son must
be permitted without any delay.
Petitioner seeks relief for Monetary Damages of
$500,000,000.00 (Five Hundred Million Dollars Net
after Taxes) plus royalties equivalent to those due for
theft of trade secrets and also seeks immediate
reunification with minor child Luke Jesus and
restoration of parental rights taken.
CONCLUSION
The petition for a writ of certiorari should be granted.
Respectfully submitted,
Date: June 7, 2026
