QUESTION PRESENTED
This court has since McNabb v United States,
318 U.S. 332 (1948) exercised it’s Supervisory
Powers over Federal Courts when the Federal
Courts have failed to apply proper standards. When
Federal Courts fail to review the record on appeal
and bar submission of petitions for rehearing or
suggestion for rehearing or suggestion for hearing
EN BANC, does McNabb require this Court to
exercise its Supervisory Powers?
a.
Can a Federal Judge request a Rule 50
motion be made and grant that motion
during the final pre trial conference?
Does Heck v Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477
(1994) bar claims regarding property not
listed in the return to a search warrant
which property respondent’s deny seizing?
Are 801(D)(2) statements admissible as
substantive evidence? Must other evidence
corroborate 801(D)(2) admissions?
Does St.Paul Mercury Indem Co. v Red
Cab Co., 303 U.S. 283, 295-296 (1938) in a
diversity action allow a federal Court to
disregard the uncontroverted affidavit as
to the value of the property submitted by
the petitioner and consider the argument
of the Counsel in finding the amount in
controversy was not satisfied?
2. Carey v Musladin, 127 S.Ct. 649, 653 (2006)
authorizes habeas relief when the issues do not
implicate an “open question” in this Court’s
jurisprudence. Does the Rule in Carey authorize
habeas relief when a habeas petitioner demonstrates
a violation of principles as established in Brady vu
Maryland, 373 U.S. 83(1963); Pyle v Kansas, 317
U.S. 213(1942); Napue v Illinois, 360 U.S. 264
(1959); Alcorta v Texas, 355 U.S. 28 (1957) and
Vasquez v Hillery, 474 U.S. 254 (1986)?
a. Does Miller-EL v Cockrell, 537 U.S. 322 (2003)
allow the Circuit Court to deny the request for
a Certificate of Appealability to an
incontestably actually innocent prisoner
without reviewing the application for a
certificate?
b. Can the Circuit deny due process by directing
the denial shall not be reexamined by way of
rehearing or suggestion for hearing EN
BANC?

PARTIES TO PROCEEDING
“ALL PARTIES APPEAR IN THE CAPTION”
OPINIONS BELOW
The Ninth Circuit’s decision not to recall the
mandate filed on March 9», 2007 is set forth at
Appendix pp 1. The mandate was issued on January
11%, 2007. Pertinent orders of the Ninth Circuit are
set forth at Appendix pp. 3 and pp. 4. The District
Court’s pertinent orders are set forth at Appendix
pp. 9 through Appendix pp. 146. On June 12, 2007
the Ninth Circuit denied Mandamus relief.
[Appendix pp. 617]
STATEMENT OF JURISDICTION
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued its
orders refusing to recall the mandate on March 9th,
2007. [Appendix pp. 1-2] On June 12, 2007 the Ninth
Circuit denied mandamus relief [Appendix pp. 624-
625]. This Court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28
U.S.C. 1254 (1).
As the petitioner does demonstrate judicial
usurpation of power by the Ninth Circuit, this
exceptional circumstance warrants Mandamus relief.
Petitioner does not have any adequate relief in any
other form or forum. 28 U.S.C. 1651 (a) and 1251
confer jurisdiction. By this letters dated June 7, 2007
[Appendix pp. 641], August 14, 2007 [Appendix pp.
643], and then finally on October 16, 2007 [Appendix
pp. 645] the Court granted petitioner until December
15, 2007 to file this petition.
Be
STATEMENT OF THE CASE
Several “Persons of Interest” at the Attorney
General’s Office are being protected and want NO
HEARING and NO DISCOVERY in this matter; —
Documentation shows a _ cover-up by
groups/members of Maricopa County Judges with
the assistance and support of the Arizona Attorney
General’s Office; [Appendix pp. 637]
Maricopa County Judges Reinstein, Schwartz,
and Martin, requested evidence be destroyed.
Additionally, the Attorney General’s Office had the
State of Arizona Prosecutors and Judges create and:
destroy evidence to obtain an unlawful conviction of
the petitioner, while threatening and intimidating
witnesses to testify falsely or face criminal
prosecution. These witnesses later exposed this
fraud on the court, perpetrated by the Arizona
Attorney General, Prosecutors Office, and Arizona
Courts, as set forth in their affidavits herein;
[Appendix pp. 455 through Appendix pp.505]
Petitioner remains incarcerated at the
Arizona [ADOC-Douglass] State prison since 1992
for the underlying convictions, currently serving a
fifty-two and one-half year sentence with an
estimated release date approximately of 2040.
INTRODUCTION
Whether the trial is federal or state, the
concern of due _ process is with the fair
administration of justice. At times a Judge has not
been the image of “the impersonal authority of law”
but has become so personally embroiled” as to make
the Judge unfit to sit in Judgment.” Mayberry vu
Pennsylvania, 400 U.S. 455 (1971) (internal citation,
text omitted) though Mayberry is not on point it is
instructive for the facts of this case show petitioner
has been blackballed by the courts as he has pushed
to hold Judges and public officials be held
accountable; see www.corruptarizonacourts.com
Petitioner requests this Court grant, vacate, and
remand this matter. [Appendix pp. 583]
A. POST CARD DENIALS BY THE NINTH
CIRCUIT AND ITS REFUSAL TO
REVIEW APPELLATE
Both, when Petitioner is represented by
counsel or in Pro Per, the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals has continually affirmed the District Court
without reviewing the record and has denied
petitioner access to the EN BANC court.
The Ninth Circuit rendered its decision on
November 3", 2006 [Appendix pp. 5]. It did not
review the record nor did it correctly apply the
precedents dictated by this Court as well as the
Ninth Circuit [Appendix pp. 342 through Appendix
pp. 380]. The Court refused to allow Counsel, who is
a sole practitioner, the opportunity to review the
extensive record, and file the petition for rehearing
and suggestion for hearing EN BANC [Appendix pp.
364 through Appendix pp. 378], when the Court
denied the first request to abate time [Appendix pp.
1, Appendix pp. 3]. When these issues were brought
to the attention of the panel by way of a motion to
recall the mandate [Appendix pp. 342], the panel
denied the motion and _ refused to allow the EN
BANC court to consider the motion to recall the
mandate [Appendix pp. 1].
This, however, is not the first such incident.
Another panel on February 24, 2004 without
reviewing the record, reviewing someone else’s
record, denied the Pro Per request for a certificate of
appealability [Appendix pp. 547] and _ barred
petitioner from seeking EN BANC consideration.
The District Court had the record. Petitioner
submitted a request pursuant to the All Writs Act
for EN BANC review to correct the panel error but.
the court refused to file it [Appendix pp. 385] and the
court refused to allow the EN BANC court to
consider it [Appendix pp. 396, 398].
; As set forth by Counsel in the motion to recall
[Appendix pp. 342] and the application for a
certificate of appealability [Appendix 547 590, 591,
592] the panel decision [Appendix pp. 396, 420] is
contrary to the precedents set forth by this Court.
[Appendix 526, to 536]
The United States Department of Justice in
Maryland had the record in Maryland. Another
Ninth Circuit panel on March 30, 2005 without
reviewing that record affirmed the decision and
barred EN BANC review [Appendix pp. 579].
The District Court in Arizona had the record
in another matter. Without that record the Ninth
Circuit on February 28, 2006 affirmed the District
Court and barred EN BANC review [Appendix pp.
591].
On June 12, 2007 a panel denied a Mandamus
petition filed by counsel for the petitioner. [Appendix
pp. 627] Had the panel reviewed the record it would
have found Counsel filed the petition [Appendix pp.
627 to 637]. All these are form denials-post card
orders.
B. PETITIONER’S CIVIL CASE
Respondents executed a search warrant in
California and seized certain items of property
[Appendix pp. 169]. Missing from the inventory of
items seized is the software [Appendix pp. 176]
which is the subject of this case.
The missing items; the software, etc; were not
listed as being seized.
Petitioner filed a diversity action in the
United States District Court For The Central
District of California. Defendants filed a Motion to
Dismiss which was denied and the matter was
transferred to Arizona [Appendix pp. 36]. Various
stipulations as to discovery were adopted by the
court but defendants did not comply [Appendix pp.
36, Appendix pp. 38]. The Trial Court denied
motions to dismiss, for judgment on the pleadings,
for summary judgment, and held petitioner Heck
barred [Appendix pp. 40, 52, 62, 70, 74]. Petitioner
was ordered to file the Fifth Amended Complaint
[Appendix pp. 86, Appendix pp. 149].
After a status conference [Appendix pp. 134,
Appendix pp. 140] the matter was set for trial. A
final pretrial conference was held and the court
granted directed verdict for the respondents
[Appendix pp. 15].
Petitioner moved for change of the judge for
cause and otherwise which was denied [Appendix pp.
10, to Appendix pp. 140}.
The Trial Court did not consider the joint
pretrial order [Appendix pp. 184], it did not allow
petitioner to make a record [Appendix pp. 316], nor
did it consider the misconduct by respondents as
well as motions inliminie it ordered the parties to
file [Appendix pp. 184].
On appeal petitioner argued that the court
had no authority to grant relief by way of Rule 50 as
no jury was impaneled.
Petitioner stated on appeal that as the
missing property was not listed in the inventory, the
claims cannot be Heck barred. It should be noted
that at no time during Petitioner’s criminal case did.
the State have to prove anything remotely related to
the property missing. |
As petitioner relied on admissions made
pursuant to Rule 801(D)(2), Federal Rules Of
Evidence and as respondents relied “exclusively on
arguments of counsel”, petitioner argued there was
sufficient evidence to show the amount in.
controversy [Appendix pp. 364].
Finally, petitioner stated that the Trial Court
should not have made credibility determinations and
in addition to acting as counsel for the respondents,
it should not have decided on the truth of his
allegations to disqualify for cause [Appendix pp. 364
to 377]. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewed
what defendants had asserted and affirmed the Trial
Court [Appendix pp. 5, 10]. It refused to afford
petitioner the opportunity to seek rehearing and
declined to Recall the Mandate [Appendix pp. 1,
Appendix pp. 342, Appendix pp. 364].
C. PETITIONERS HABEAS APPEAL
Since his arrest, petitioner has argued the
prosecution manufactured the crimes. Petitioner is
serving a 52.5 year prison sentence for fraud with no
possibility of release in any manner prior to serving
52.5 years. He sought habeas corpus relief [Appendix
pp. 447]. The Magistrate Judge suggested the
petition be denied [Appendix pp. 432] which was
adopted by the District Court [Appendix 28, 30]. A
motion to reconsider [Appendix 70, 74] was also
denied [Appendix pp. 422]. On January 28 2004,
the District Court denied the request for a certificate
of appealability [Appendix pp. 547}.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals relying on
some December 3, 2003 document denied
petitioner’s certificate of appealibility and forbade
EN BANC review [Appendix pp. 364]. However,
there is no December 3, 2003 application and the
Ninth Circuit could only consider applications after
the January 28th, 2004 decision [Appendix pp. 398]
which was served on February 3'¢, 2004 [Appendix
pp. 364, 531, 547].
Subsequently, petitioner filed a Writ of
Certiorari [Tripati v. Schriro] and this Court on May
17, 2004, under the mistaken belief that it was a
civil action, ordered the petition not be filed and
declared the petitioner abusive of the system
[Appendix pp. 625].
As this Court did not give petitioner any time
limits to file the petition, petitioner‘s supporters
have now been able to pay for Counsel. Hence, the
Certiorari is timely as to the habeas also.
There is substantial evidence Arizona
authorities manufactured crimes with the active
participation of three Arizona judges [Appendix pp.
459, 461, 464, 465, 475, 477, 479, 483, 492, 497, 499,
515, 517, 519, 521, 524, 526, 530]. Arizona courts,
including those judges whose names are involved in
destroying and manufacturing evidence [Appendix
pp. 485, 492, 497, 517, 524. Without any hearings
and exclusively on ex parte discussions the Arizona
court made findings and decided the issues against
petitioner [Appendix pp. 501, Appendix pp. 503].
Factually and if justice had been served, legally
petitioner is innocent of all allegations made against
him [Appendix 531, Appendix pp. 547].
As the Ninth Circuit did not actually review
the record, a Motion to Recall the Mandate and
Mandamus was filed by the Counsel [Appendix pp.
627 to 637, 380, 385 to 398] but the Court refused to
consider these [Appendix pp. 396, 397, 398}.
The documents captioned in italics below are
from three separate sources and clearly show that
the crimes against the petitioner were manufactured
by the State of Arizona and that the Arizona Courts
refused to give any hearing on the merit.
i. Frank Cotter, a Real Estate Appraiser
sent a letter stating his explanation as to
why he could not provide testimony in
his letter dated July 22, 1993, addressed
to counsel for Mr. Tripati at the criminal
trial, which provided § as _§ follows:
[Appendix pp. 464]
Dear Ms. Vida Zoe Flores:
“I unformed Mr. Conrad and Chatfield that Mr.
Tripati did not ask me to arrive at the $5,000,000
value and that Mr. Tripati did not know the real
estate in Riverside County was not worth $5,000,000.
I also informed them that I made a mistake.”
“They shut off the interview tapes and repeatedly
threatened me with criminal prosecution. Mr.
Conrad told me that if I testified for Mr. Tripati, I
will be prosecuted.”
“T called Mr. Conrad back after we talked and he told
me, I must not come and testify as a witness for you
and once again confirmed that he will prosecute me,
if I testified.”
“Based on these threats by Mr. Conrad, I am unable
to testify as a witness for you. I want you to know
that Mr. Tripati did not know the value fof the
property] was incorrect.”
Sincerely,
FRANK COTTER, Senior Certified Professional
Appraiser
[Appendix pp. 464/
10
ii. Additionally, Robert Fred Girdley, an
alleged victim sent a letter dated April 6,
1995, to the Arizona Attorney General,
which stated as follows: [Appendix pp. 459]
Dear Attorney General:
“‘T received $4,000,000 from John Naughton to post
four bail bonds and informed Mr. Gunn McKay,
Dean Chatfield, Teresa Archuleta and Donald
Conrad of the Maricopa County Attorney as to this
fact. They informed me that if I did not blame Mr.
Anant Kumar Tripati of Legal Research Associates as
the person who hired me and asked me to post the
four bail bonds, I shall be charged with crimes in
Arizona.”
“Once I was granted absolute immunity from
prosecution and told Helen Maureen Jones shall not
be prosecuted, I did what I was asked to do and
blamed Mr. Tripati.”
“Even though the documents were given to me by Mr.
John Naughten I blamed Mr. Tripati as requested by
Mr. Conrad and Chatfield.”
‘T am informing you that Mr. Tripati did not ask me
to post any bail bonds and any assertions by the state
to the contrary are false. Had I not been threatened
and given immunity I would not have blamed Mr.
Tripati. I did this to save having to pay the county
money for the bonds and to escape criminal
prosecution.”
11
Very Truly,
S/D ROBERT FRED GIRDLEY
[Appendix pp. 459]
iii. Finally, Helen Maureen Jones, a second
victim gave an affidavit under penalty of
perjury, on September 10, 1996, stating in
her declaration as follows: [Appendix pp.
461]
1. Robert Fred Gurdley contacted me via
telephone and advised me that he was the
Managing General Agent of an entity called
Financial Security Assurance Co., Inc
[FSAI]. He asked me to participate with
him in the bail bond business under the
name Bondco. He told me Bondco did not
have to be licensed by the Arizona
Department of Insurance. We proceeded to
post bonds using the name Bondco.
LS)
Mr. Robert Fred Girdley provided me with
the necessary bonding documents as well as
the qualifying power of attorney forms,
wnich I used to post bail bonds with.
£. Mr. Tripati never asked me to post any bail
bonds.
4. Before testifying for the State of Arizona, I
had numerous conversations with Donald
12
E. Conrad and informed him of the above.
I was advised by Mr. Conrad that my
cooperation with the State of Arizona was
necessary in the prosecution of Mr. Tripati.

All three of these affidavits Appendix pp. 459,
461, 464], in addition to the testimony of the
deceased Teresa Archuleta [employee at District
Attorney’s Office in Maricopa County] [Appendix pp.
468], under penalty of perjury, from these material
witnesses used by the state of Arizona to prosecute
Petitioner, demonstrate the corruption of the
Arizona Courts, the unlawful conviction of the
Petitioner by way of coerced immunized testimony,
destruction of extrinsic evidence favorable to the
Petitioner, and the criminal conspiracy of the State
of Arizona and Maricopa County courts to deprive
Petitioner of his constitutional liberties and
substantial rights in having a fair hearing.
D. NINTH CIRCUIT’S SYSTEMIC
REFUSAL TO REVIEW RECORD
On March 30%, 2005 the Ninth Circuit found
that a petition for review [which was yet to be filed]
was devoid of merit [Appendix pp. 590]. What is
amazing is that the record was in Maryland and
there is no way that the panel could have known
what the record contained. No facsimile copy or
otherwise was introduced into the case.
The Ninth Circuit Court found another appeal
devoid of merit [Appendix pp. 591]. Just like all prior
decisions, the Ninth Circuit Court did not have the
District Court’s record in their possession when
deciding the case.
On October 9% 1997, the Arizona Court of
Appeals issued its mandate [Appendix pp. 600 to
607]. A notice of post conviction relief was filed
within 30 days. It was not “summarily dismissed”
but decided on the merits on February 25%, 1999
[Appendix pp. 596; order of February 25, 1999].
The District Court in error found that the
petition was summarily denied by Arizona Courts
[Appendix pp. 600] order by Judge Robert
Broomfield and hence found the Habeas time-barred.
Apparently, without reviewing the record, the
Ninth Circuit denied a certificate of appealability
[Appendix pp. 592].

Il.
ARGUMENT
The Evidence herein affirmatively
demonstrates that the Arizona Courts have
continually denied the Petitioner the right to Due
process and the constitutional liberties afforded in
the United States Constitution. Arizona Courts
coerced immunized witnesses to pro-offer false
testimony, destroy material evidence in favor of the
petitioner, and manufacture evidence to support its
position to unlawfully and unconstitutionally convict
Petitioner of Fraud related causes of action,
sentencing him to more than 50 years in an Arizona
prison. This unlawful and corrupt practice in the
Arizona Courts of Maricopa County must
immediately be enjoined and this court must order a
hearing on this matter, given (1) the Ninth Circuit’s
substantial departure from judicial practice by its
failure to review the record, (2) the Arizona Court’s
decision to make factual findings on a Rule 50
motion without affording the Petition his
constitutional right to a jury, (3) the property at
issue, supplanted by Arizona authorities and used to
obtain a conviction of petitioner, was not listed on
the state’s return to search warrant, (4) the Arizona
court’s failure to recognize that admissions made
pursuant to F.R.C.P. 801(d)(2) are substantive
evidence, (5) the Arizona Court’s failure to allow
Petitioner to present material evidence in support of
his affirmative defenses, and (6) the Ninth Circuit's
failure to review the instant record before denying
the Petitioner's certificate of appealibility which as
abridged Petitioner’s right to Federal Habeas.

A. THE NINTH CIRCUIT’S PROCEDURE
OF NOT REVIEWING RECORD AND
AFFIRMING DECISIONS CONSTITUTES
SUBSTANTIAL DEPARTURE FROM THE
USUAL COURSE OF JUDICIAL
PROCEDURES MANDATING THIS
COURT EXERCISE IT’S SUPERVISORY
POWERS.
The Supervisory Power of this Court has been
discussed at length by Professor Sara Sun Beale. In
Sara Sun Beale, Reconsidering Supervisory
Power in Criminal Cases; Constitutional and
Statutory Limits on the Authority of the
Federal Court 84 Colum. L.Rev. 1433 (1984),
Professor Beale identifies Article III as the source of
this Court’s Supervisory Power.
Nguyen vs. United States, 539 U.S. 69,
81(2003) states “the authority which Congress has
granted this Court to review judgments of the Court
Of Appeals undoubtedly vests us not only with the
authority to correct errors of substantive law, but to
prescribe the method by which those courts go about
deciding cases before them.” [Internal quotation
omitted].
In Dickerson v. United States, 530 U.S. 428,
437 (2000), this Court confirmed its authority over
federal court procedure including its authority
outside the federal rulemaking process. Such clear
authority is well entrenched. Since this court first
claimed this authority in McNabb v. United States,
318 U.S. 332, 340 (1943), it has used its Supervisory
16
Powers through adjudication to set forth a vast array
of procedures binding Federal Courts.
McNabb, supra, is credited widely as being
the first case in which this court exercised its
Supervisory Powers. See Sara Sun _ Beale
Reconsidering Supervisory Power In Criminal
es; Constituti 1 An atutory Limi n
Authority Of The Federal Courts, 84 Colum. L.
Rev 1433 (1984) at 1435. Two weeks prior to
McNabb, this Court utilized its Supervisory Powers
to prohibit commenis on a defendant’s refusal to
testify in Johnson v. United States, 318 U.S. 189, 199
(1943); also Weeks v. United States, 232 U.S. 383,
398 (1914) was grounded on the Fourth Amendment.
However, some of the Justices in Mapp v. Ohio, 367
U.S. 643, 678 (1962) stated that Weeks involved the
exercise of the Supervisory Power. On the same day
as McNabb was decided, this Court applied the
McNabb Rule to exclude confessions in Anderson v.
United States, 318 U.S. 350, 355-56 (1943).
McNabb is the first self-conscious exercise by
this Court of its supervisory authority in context of
adjudicating a case. This Court in deciding McNabb
did not rely on any statutory or Constitutional
authority but on an evidentiary policy of its own
making, 318 U.S. at 346-47.
In Thiel v. Southern Pacific Co, 328 U.S. 217
(1946), this Court invoking the power it claimed in
McNabb-“power of supervision over the
administration of Justice in the Federal Courts” Id.
at 225 held “systematic and intentional exclusion“ of
daily wage earners from jury duty was forbidden. Id
at 220.
17
Castro v. United States, 540 U.S. 375 (2003),
involved a prisoner styled motion “Rule 33 motion
for a new trial.” Without notice to the prisoner, the
District Court called the motion a 2255 petition. This
subjected any subsequent motion under 2255 to the
restrictive conditions that Federal law imposes upon
a “second or successive” (but not upon a first)
Federal habeas motion. Id at 379. Invoking its
supervisory power, this court held though not
mandated by the Constitution, a District Court must
notify a prisoner about its recharacterization and
consequences before converting a motion to one
pursuant to 2255. Id at 382-83.
The appointment of prosecutors with interest
in a contempt finding was forbidden by this court
through the exercise of its supervisory powers. See
Young v. United States Ex-Rel Vuitton ET AL; 481
U.S. 787, 808-09 (1987).
Pursuant to its Supervisory Power, this Court
held in Rosales-Lopez v. United States, 451 U.S. 182,
190-92 (1981) that Courts must inquire into racial
prejudices of jurors. McCarthy v. United States, 394
U.S. 459, -463-64 (1969) involved this court using its
Supervisory Powers to require a defendant plead
anew if Rule 11 was not followed.
All these Supervisory Power cases set forth
procedures not mandated by the Constitution or
Congress. Occasionally the rules announced by this
Court pursuant to its Supervisory Powers have been
given Constitutional status by this Court. This
Court, in Ballard v. United States, 329 U.S. 187, 193,
195 (1946) used its Supervisory Powers to bar
“purposeful and systematic exclusion of women”
from grand and petit juries. In Taylor v. Louisiana,
18
419 U.S. 522, 525-26 (1975), this Court found
exclusion of women from jury duty violated their
Sixth Amendment rights.
Ortega-Rodriguez v. United States, 507 U.S.
234, 244-52 (1993) held unreasonable the practice of
the Eleventh Circuit to dismiss appeals by fugitives.
United States v. Payner, 447 U.S. 727, 736-37
(1980) invalidated a local practice.
“Judicial supervision of the administration of
justice in the Federal Courts implies the duty of
establishing and maintaining civilized standards of
procedures and evidence” McNabb v. United Siates,
318 U.S. 332 (1943). In McNabb, this Court invoked
its Supervisory Power because the “petition for
certiorari presented serious questions in the
administration of federal criminal justice.” Id at 333.
The McNabb petitioners were _ subjected’ to
procedures by officers assuming functions not
authorized by Congress.
The actions taken by the Ninth Circuit Court
as shown by this petitioner demonstrates the Ninth
Circuit has failed to provide the “learning, good
sense, fairness and courage” standard, Id at 616,
which this court considers essential for the fair
administration of justice. :
This court found in Grunewald v. United
States, 353 U.S. 391, 423, (1957) that the
discretionary evidentiary ruling raised “grave
constitutional overtones...” The ruling at issue was
the probative value of a defendant’s invocation of his
privilege of self incrimination before the grand jury.
In Marshall v. United States, 360 U.S. 310,
(1959), the Court exercised its Supervisory Power to
reverse a conviction. Some Jurors had read articles
19
about excluded evidence and after interviewing the
Jurors, the trial judge found no prejudice. This Court
felt constrained to intervene to “apply proper
standards” Id. at 313.
The Court reversed the admission of
defendant’s silence to impeach pursuant to its
Supervisory Power in United States v. Hale, 422 U.S.
171, (1975).
All these cases have a common thread which
is, judicial action interfering with proper standards
of justice in Federal Courts.
They are not subject to harmless error
analysis as they involve “structural defects in the
constitution of the Appellate mechanism, which
defies analysis by harmless-error standards’;
emphasis added Arizona v. Fulminante, 499 U.S.
279, 309, (1991). The failure of any Court to perform
the acts required of the Court goes to the essence of
the justice system. It is the Appellate Judge who
must sit as an arbiter, determine after review of the
record, briefs, law and argument what action to take.
This cannot be done without reviewing the record.
As such, the failure of the Appellate Judges to
review the record and take action as is currently
being done by the Ninth Circuit Court is a
“structural defect” in the Appellate process. It
impugns the integrity of the Federal Judicial
Branch.
20
B. THE DECISION THAT A RULE 50
MOTION CAN BE GRANTED BY A
JUDGE WITHOUT A JURY JIS
STRUCTURAL ERROR.
Rule 50(a)(1) provides in part “if during a trial by
Jury.....” Clearly, Rule 50(a) contemplates a jury
trial has begun. Once a jury trial has begun,
defendants may seek dismissal by way of Rule 50.
The rule does not contemplate a Judge trial.
Defendants in this case utilized the
procedures for pre-trial dismissal by way of Rule
12(b)(6) Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, motion for
judgment on the pleadings by Rule 12(c), summary
judgment by Rule 56 and a series of Heck dismissals.
They did not prevail [Appendix pp. 32 to Appendix
pp. 132].
The Advisory Committee Notes to the 1991
amendment states that Rule 50 motions must be
made “prior to the close of the trial.” In Anderson uv.
Liberty Lobby, Inc; 477 U.S. 242, 250, (1986), this
Court stated in a JMOL the inquiry is “whether the
evidence presents a_ sufficient disagreement to
require submission to a jury or whether it is so one-
sided that one party must prevail as a matter of
law.” The trial court applies the same standard as
for summary judgment Reeves v. Sanderson
Plumbing Products, Inc; 530 U.S. 133, 150, (2000).
In this matter, petitioner presented Federal
Rules of evidence 801(d)(2) evidence to substantiate
his claims and the respondents presented “the same
arguments of prior Counsel which arguments were
previously rejected by the Court” as the only
evidence. As a matter of law the motion should have
been denied.
No jury was impaneled, nor had the trial
begun. Furthermore, the standard for granting a
Rule 50 motion is different and distinct from Rule 56
and Rule 52 motions.
As no jury was impaneled, it was a structural
error On appeal for the Ninth Circuit to uphold the
trial Court’s decision to grant the Rule 50 motions.
Had the panel reviewed the record and
applied Circuit precedent, McSherry vu. City of Long
Beach, et al., 423 F.3D 1015 (9%. Cir 2005), Waters v.
Young, et al., 100 F. 3D 1437 (1996), it would have
arrived at a different result.
C. WHEN THE RETURN TO THE SEARCH
WARRANT SHOWS THAT THE
PROPERTY AT ISSUE WAS NOT LISTED
IN_THE INVENTORY, HECK DID NOT
BAR THOSE CLAIMS.
Heck v. Humphrey, 512 U.S. 477, (1994) at
footnote 7, states that claims for unlawful search
and seizures may lie if they do not undermine a
conviction. In this case, the return to the search
warrant does not list the missing property [Appendix
pp. 169] which is the software in [Volume Two,
Appendix pp. 176].
The officers stole the property. Petitioner in
this diversity action sought relief under State laws
for the property stolen. That property has nothing to
do with the criminal convictions [Appendix pp. 184].
However, the panel (because it did not review
the record) found that the criminal convictions
22
barred the claims. This conclusion is _ not
contemplated by Heck and not supported by the
record.
D. ADMISSIONS MADE PURSUANT TO
RULE _ 801(d)(2) OF THE FEDERAL
RULES OF EVIDENCE ARE
SUBSTANTIVE EVIDENCE.
“A statement once -made, is no less a
statement simply because it’s maker has changed his
or her mind”, South Central Bank v. Citicorp Credit
Services; 863 F. Supp 635, 646 (N.D. ILL. 1994) and
this is true even if the statements were not intended
for third parties. Id. These statements are not
subject to cross-examination, Auto-Owners Inc Co. v.
Jensen, 667 F. 2D 714, 722 (8th Cir 1981). As long as
the statement is contrary to the position taken by
defendants, they are admissible, United States v.
Matlock, 416 U.S. 164, 172 (1974), even if the person
who made the statements is dead Savarese v. Agniss,
883 F. 2D 1194, 1200 F.N. 9 (8'¢. Cir 1989). There is
no need for the person to whom the statement was
made to have first hand knowledge of the
statements, Mahlandi v. Wild Canid Survival &
Research Ctr, 588 F. 2D 626, 630 (8. Cir.(1978).
“Even if a District Court believes the evidence is
insufficient to prove the ultimate point for which it is
offered, it may not exclude the evidence if it has the
slightest probative value”, Douglass v. Eaton Corp;
956 F. 2d 1339, 1344 (9th Cir. 1994).
Petitioner had presented evidence in the form
of Federal Rules of Evidence 801({d)(2) statements
made by defendant Teresa Archuleta [deceased] and
23
documentary evidence substantiating his claims.
Based on exactly this same evidence, the Court had
denied both the motion for summary judgment and
the motion to reconsider that denial. Using the same
arguments, the Court denied the motions to dismiss
and judgment on the pleadings [Appendix pp. 40,
52].
Prior to the final pre-trial conference, the
same District Judge found the evidence warranted
the matter be submitted to a Jury [Appendix pp. 36
to Appendix pp. 70].
What happened to get the judge to take a 180
degree turn is not known?
As the panel did not review the record but
relied on what Counsel said, it erred in finding that
the Federal Rules of Evidence 801(d)(2) admissions
offered by the plaintiff, was insufficient evidence.
Substantive evidence exists, and had the panel
reviewed the record, it would have found otherwise
[Appendix pp. 184, Appendix pp. 316}.
E. CONSIDERATION OF DEFENSES _IN
DETERMINING THE VALUE OF
PROPERTY IS CONTRARY TO ST. PAUL.
* In St. Paul Mercury Indem. Co. v. Red Cab Co;
303 U.S. 283, 295-296 (1938), this Court held that
the amount in controversy in a diversity action is not
affected by the defenses raised by a party.
By failing to review the record, the Ninth
Circuit upheld the Trial Court’s consideration of
these defenses. Had the panel reviewed the record, it
24
would have found otherwise [Appendix PP. 184,
Appendix pp. 366].
Petitioner gave his affidavit swearing that the value
of the software stolen by defendants [Appendix pp.
176] and not listed on the inventory [Appendix pp.
169] exceeded $100,000 [Appendix pp. 184].
F. THE NINTH CIRCUIT BY NOT
REVIEWING THE RECORD BEFORE
DENYING THE CERTIFICATE OF
APPEALABILITY HAS ABRIDGED THE
RIGHT TO FEDERAL HABEAS
The petitioner must demonstrate that
reasonable jurists would find the District Court’s
assessment of the claims debatable or wrong Slack v.
McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473, 484 (2000), to. obtain a
certificate of appealability. As stated in Slack, the
petitioner needs to show an encouragement to
proceed further.
According to the evidence, petitioner showed
that Arizona Judges asked and had _ evidence
favorable to petitioner destroyed. These same judges
without any hearings resolved the issues though
they had a vested interest [Appendix pp. 465 to 497].
Vasquez v. Hillery, 474 U.S. 254, 263 (1986) found
when there is “some basis for rendering a biased
judgment, [with] actual motivations-hidden from
review , that decision is void. The Vasquez court
vacated a conviction for racial discrimination in the
Grand jury Process. “When Constitutional error calls
into question the objectivity of those charged with
bringing a defendant to judgment, a reviewing court
25
can neither indulge a presumption of regularity nor
evaluate the resulting harm.”
In the face of the evidence of corruption of the
truth seeking process by the Arizona judges, Bracy v.
Gramley, 520 U.S. 899 (1997) requires that
petitioner be allowed to conduct discovery. In Bracy,
this court found sufficient evidence as to bribes that
warranted discovery.
This petitioner through documentary evidence
had shown that Arizona judges had a vested interest
in this matter and those judges with a vested
interest, to protect their own interest, entered orders
making findings which can only be made after
hearings. By way of example, these judges without
holding hearings, found that evidence incriminating
both the judges and the prosecutors were forged
[Appendix pp. 380]. Such findings can not be made
without a hearing. Both the Arizona Appellate
and Supreme Court issued postcard denials
[Appendix pp. 378].
Additionally, Brady requires discovery on this
issue. The Ninth Circuit by not reviewing the record
denied leave to appeal. Pursuant to Vasquez, the
process was impaired and the Federal Courts “can
neither indulge a presumption of regularity nor
evaluate the resulting harm.”
The affidavits, letters, and documents created
by agents of the State of Arizona all do show that,
the petitioner was convicted of crimes manufactured
by the prosecutor with the help of the three Arizona
judges [Appendix pp. 459, 461, 464, 465 to 476]. All
these materials were concealed by the State of
Arizona [Appendix pp. 459 to 639].
26
In Bousley v. United States, 523 U.S. 614
(1998), this Court stated actual innocence is not
legal innocence, but factual innocence. The petitioner
in Bousley contested the validity of his guilty plea.
This Court held if Bousley shows he was factually
innocent, he may have his claims reviewed.
The evidence shows petitioner is “factually
innocent” Herrera v. Collins, 506 U.S. 390 (1993).
This evidence is supported by credible evidence
created by the State of Arizona and documents from
the victims. In Herrera ten years after his conviction,
Herrera presented arguments with affidavits
showing he was innocent. This Court found the
evidence showed Herrera was not innocent in any
sense of the word, Dretke v. Haley, 541 U.S. 368
(2004).
Conversely, petitioner, from affidavits by
victims and State-created documents has shown he
is factually innocent.
Strickler v. Greene, 527 U.S. 2633 (1999)
states “the suppression by the prosecution of
evidence favorable to the accused ... violates due
process where the evidence is material to guilt or to
punishment.” In Strickler, this Court found that
petitioner was unable to show prejudice from the
failure to disclose the Stoltzfus documents for the
documents would not have undermined her
testimony. Unlike Strickler, the documents in this
case show that the prosecutor along with the three
judges manufactured the crimes and had the
evidence destroyed. This evidence undermined the
Jury verdict and resulted in a prison sentence of
more than fifty-two years on petitioner.
This Court stated in Mooney v. Holohan, 294
U.S. 103 (1935), that convictions obtained by the
knowing use of perjured testimony violates due
process. According to the Mooney Court, petitioner
had not sustained his burden and so it denied leave
to file the habeas. Pyle v. Kansas, 317 U.S. 213
(1942) remanded the petition for further proceedings
to afford Pyle the chance to show his conviction was
the product of false evidence.
The Texas prosecutor in Alcorta v. Texas, 355
U.S. 28 (1957) through a witness, Castilleja,
presented false testimony that did not disclose the
affair Castilleja had with Alcorta’s wife. This Court
remanded the matter finding a due process violation.
Likewise, the prosecution’s witness Hamer, in
Napue v. Illinois, 366 U.S. 264 (1959) lied when he
testified he had no immunity. This Court remanded
finding a due process violation. The documents,
affidavits, and letters in this case [Appendix pp. 459
to 639] do all satisfy the Strickler-Mooney-Pyle-
Alcorta-Napue standards. Petitioner should have
been given a hearing.
These Brady materials were destroyed
because of the animus between the parties. Due to
this animus, petitioner was entitled to an
evidentiary hearing as the Arizona v. Youngblood,
488 U.S. 5: (1988) bad faith requirements did not
apply in such cases where the evidence is Brady
material which is destroyed due to an animus.
If the Appellate panel of the Ninth Circuit
would have reviewed the record and followed the law
as decided by this Court, [Appendix pp. 531, pp. 547]
it would have found that the decision of the Arizona
Courts was contrary to, or involved an unreasonable
28
application of, clearly established Federal law as
determined by this Court. The panel would have
found Arizona Court's actions constituted an
unreasonable determination of facts in light of the
evidence presented in the State Court proceedings
Williams v. Taylor, 529 U.S. 362 (2000).
This miscarriage of justice must immediately
be reviewed and a certificate of appealability must
be issued, pursuant to Miller-EL v. Cockrell, 537
U.S. 322 (2003)
G. THE REPEATED REFUSAL BY THE
NINTH CIRCUIT TO -ALLOW THE
FILING OF EN BANC PETITIONS AND
MOTIONS TO RECALL MANDATES
OUTLINING EGREGIOUS DEPARTURE
FROM _THE USUAL COURSE OF
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS AS A TOOL
TO REDUCE ITS WORKLOAD
MANDATES __ EXERCISE OF THE
SUPERVISORY POWER. :
“Maintaining civilized standards of procedure”
McNabb v. United States, 318 U.S. 332 (1943)
mandates this Court exercise its Supervisory
Powers. The procedures utilized by the Ninth Circuit
in this petition constitutes an. egregious departure
from the usual course of judicial proceedings thereby
raising grave constitutional overtones Grunewald uv.
United States, 353 U.S. 391, 423 (1957).
Clearly, the petition for rehearing [Appendix
pp. 364] motion to recall the mandate [Appendix pp.
342] should have been granted as they show the
Ninth Circuit is not applying and maintaining
29
civilized standards of procedure and has egregiously
departed from the usual course of judicial
proceeding. The Ninth Circuit must review the
record and apply Supreme Court precedent.
Ill.
CONCLUSION
Where an appellant pays the full filing fees
and submits a brief in compliance with the rules that
appellants appeal must be heard. Matin «. District
of Columbia Court of Appeals, 506 U.S. 1 (1992).
Under the facts of this case, the Ninth Circuit has
denied petitioner meaningful Appellate review.
Arizona Judges have covered up for each other as
petitioner has argued for judicial reform. The
egregious constitutional rights and civil rights
violations demonstrated in this petition mandate the
court exercise its supervisory power and direct the
Ninth Circuit to meaningfully review the record and
follow precedents. When appellate courts act as the
Ninth Circuit herein, it destroys the integrity of the
judiciary. The interest of justice mandates the
immediate review of this appeal after full briefing.
This court must exercise its supervisory power and
direct the Ninth Circuit to meaningfully review the
record and follow precedents therein.
