REASONS FOR GRANTING THE WRIT
The EN BANC ORDER OF DISBARMENT IN THE
SUPREME COURT OF CALIFORNIA, In re Charles
Connell McCarthy, Case No. S145019, in the State Bar
Court Case No. 03-N-02791; 04-O-11745, filed October 10,
2006 (App. A) — followed the precedent of In re Rose, 93
Cal.Rptr.2d 298 (2000), wherein the Court by separate
order, denied the petition for review and imposed the
discipline recommended by the State Bar Court — without
oral argument — without a judicial hearing — without
4
a written judicial decision - and without a mean-
ingful judicial review — after deciding that:
“We conclude that this court may summarily
deny an attorney’s petition for review of a State
Bar Court decision recommending disbarment or
suspension without violating constitutional prin-
ciples.” (/d., 436)
There follow quotes from the cogent; insightful —
indeed compelling — dissents of California Supreme Court
Justices Kennard and Brown in the matter of In re Rose:
KENNARD, J.,
“The majority’s decision here produces a startling
anomaly: Attorneys are the only persons whose
state occupational licenses can be revoked or
suspended without a judicial hearing. When the
right to continue practicing a trade or profession
is at stake, only attorneys are denied their day in
court.” (/d., 461)
“To summarize: The state Constitution grants
litigants a right to oral argument before this
court renders a judgment, and an attorney sus-
pension or disbarment order is a judgment ren-
dered by this court; therefore, an attorney has a
right under the state Constitution to oral argu-
ment before this court suspends or disbars the
attorney.” (/d., 462)
“But attorneys do not have recourse to adminis-
trative mandate proceedings because their li-
censes are suspended or revoked not by an
administrative determination, but by this court’s
orders. As a consequence, under the majority’s
decision today, only attorneys can have their li-
censes suspended or revoked without a judicial
hearing and a written judicial decision. This
5
disparate treatment of attorneys raises serious
due process and equal protection questions. I do
not address these issues, however, because I con-
clude that the state Constitution’s oral |***79]
argument and written-opinion provisions apply
to attorney suspension and disbarment proceed-
ings.” (Id., 465)
BROWN, J. [now on the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia)
“We should not, however, pretend the current le-
gal order does not mark a transformation in the
attorney discipline process, one in which a con-
stitutional touchstone -— meaningful judicial
review by an article VI court — has been jetti-
soned.” (Jd., 466)
“Under the new regime, attorneys penalized for
professional misconduct get less in the way of
genuine judicial review of discipline than li-
censed nonattorneys [***83] do.” (Id., 466)
“At the heart of the majority opinion is the
supposition that review by any other name is
still review and passes constitutional muster:
that due process is satisfied by any process,
however much the decisionmakers may be [**983]
driven by bureaucratic agendas or political ties.
In this corner of the law, at least, we seem to be
presiding over a union of the legislative and
judicial components of government. It may be
efficient; it certainly isn’t pretty. And because it
seems antithetical to the constitutional design, I
dissent.” Ud., 470)
By following the precedent of In re Rose (Id., 436),
The Supreme Court Of California intentionally refused to
consider and dispose of the important federal questions
6
presented by McCarthy’s VERIFIED PETITION FOR
WRIT OF REVIEW.
¢
LEGAL DISCUSSION
The State Bar letter to the Clerk of the Court, Su-
preme Court of California (App. F) states in relevant part:
“Dear Clerk,
This letter is to advise the court that the State
Bar of California does not intend to file an an-
swer to the above petition, pursuant to California
Rules of Court, Rule 28(a)(2), unless the Court
requests briefing on the issues. In any event, it
appears from the Court’s website that the record
of discipline was filed on the same day as the Pe-
titioner’s brief, rendering the matter moot.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel
free to call me at the number listed above.
Sincerely,
Tracey McCormick
Assistant General Counsel”
The record does not indicate a reply from the Clerk of
the Court!
However, transcripts of telephone messages left on
Charles C. McCarthy’s telephone by the Clerk of the
California Supreme Court (App. D) include the following
message for Petitioner McCarthy:
“The Court is just wondering whether you would
like to present a petition for a review based on
the merits of the case. And if that’s the case,
7
there will be a motion — or if you can submit a
motion to withdraw the petition pending at this
point, then you can resubmit it on the merits of
the case.” (3:5-10)
The legal propriety of the Clerk’s proposal is highly
questionable at best as an unlawful attempt to influence
proceedings before the California Supreme Court!
Petitioner filed his SUPPLEMENT TO VERIFIED
PETITION FILED HEREIN ON JULY 5, 2006 WITH THE
CLERK OF THE SUPREME COURT AT LOS ANGELES,
CALIFORNIA dated August 3, 2006 (App. G).
Paragraph 1. thereof refers to the State Bar’s letter
dated July 25, 2006 “addressed to the Clerk of the Cali-
fornia Supreme Court re this matter, by Tracey McCor-
mick, Assistant General Counsel of The State Bar Of
California.”
Petitioner McCarthy then states:
“2. Ms. McCormick’s cryptic, single sentence
declaring “the matter moot” implemented an
evil, cunning State Bar scheme to summarily de-
prive Petitioner of due process of law in violation
of the lst and 14th Amendments of The Consti-
tution of the United States.
“3. The unambiguous intent of the State Bar’s
July 25, 2006 letter was to induce the Clerk of
the Supreme Court Of California to cause the
prompt Dismissal With Prejudice of Petitioner’s
Verified Petition filed herein on July 5, 2006!
“4. The State Bar thereby intended to avoid
having to file their Verified responses to Peti-
tioner’s Verified Petition, re the allegations of Js
2 and 3 thereof, charging that members of the
8
State Bar Court of “willfully” committed acts
involving “moral turpitude” in violation of
Rule 1-100, Rules of Professional Conduct and
State Bar Act §6106 respectively!
“5. lIrrefutably, the State Bar’s proceedings
against Petitioner constitutes cruel and unusual
punishment to a man who ;: vated in his State Bar
Declaration of November 9, 1999:
“I have earned a personal and profes-
sional reputation over fifty years that I
cherish and for which I will die.” (Ex 1,
{1, pl quoted at 73, p2 Verified Peti-
tion)
“6. The State Bar’s implementation of its rep-
rehensible scheme referred to above, is an arro-
gant, shameful failure to act responsibly as “an
administrative arm” of the Supreme Court of
the State of California! (Herrscher v. State Bar
(1935) 4 Cal.2d 399, 49 P.2d 837.
“7. Ineluctably, The Supreme Court of the State
of California must impose severe sanctions upon
The State Bar Court and its individual members
responsible for their outrageous, unlawful con-
duct referred to in Js 1, 2 and 3 of Petitioner’s
Verified Petition filed herein on July 5, 2006
App. E; and Js 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of Petitioner’s
Supplement to Verified Petition filed herein on
July 5, 2006 with the Clerk of the Supreme Court
at Los Angeles, California. In the Matter of
Charles C. McCarthy, Case No.: 03-N-02791 and
04-O-11745, August 3, 2006 (App. G). Members of
the State Bar Court are not above the law appli-
cable to all members of The State Bar of Califor-
nia — including, but not limited to:
9
1) Business and Professions Code
#6081; 2) State Bar Act §6106; 3) Rule
1-100 Rules of Professional Conduct
and 4) the due process clause of the
+TtthAmendment to The Constitution of
the United States!”
CONCLUSION
This Court should forthwith grant this Petition and
award appropriate costs and damages to Petitioner
McCarthy. Attorneys are ,soutinely deprived of their
precious Constitutional right to practice law by an arro-
gant, self-serving Apparatchik - the California State
Bar!
Like a judicial Pontius Pilate - The California
Supreme Court routinely denies appeals by a multi-
tude of California attorneys from State Bar disbar-
ment proceedings. All attorneys not employed by
the California State Bar pray for the U.S. Supreme
Court’s “Emancipation Proclamation”!

In re: S145019 In the Matter of the Disbarment of
Charles C. McCarthy
Dear Charles C. McCarthy:
This is to remind you that by Order filed October 10, 2006.
copy enclosed, the Supreme Court disbarred you from the
practice of law effective November 9, 2006.
You will note that the Court has also ordered you to pay
costs to the State Bar of California, pursuant to the
Business and Professions Code 6140.7, wherein it states:
“Costs unpaid by a member who resigns with disciplinary
charges pending or by a member who is suspended or
disbarred shall be paid as a condition of reinstatement of
membership.”
Please note, Rule of Professional Conduct 1-311 requires
that a firm or attorney who employs an attorney who is
disbarred provide certain notices to the State Bar and to
clients. While there is no prescribed form, in order to
assist attorneys to comply with the rule, the State Bar has
App. 4
created notices for the employer’s use. If you are to become
employed by an attorney or a law firm, please remind your
employer of this requirement. Forms may be obtained by
contacting Paula Gavaldon at (213) 765-1000.
Very truly yours,

The Court is just wondering whether you would like to

THE SUPREME COURT OF

In the Matter of ) Case No.: 03-N-02791 and
) 04-O0-11745
CHARLES C.McCARTHY ) VERIFIED PETITION
A Member of the State Bar. ) FOR ORDER DIRECTING
) THE REVIEW DEPART-
) MENT OF THE STATE

) DIATELY COMPLY WITH
) BUSINESS AND PRO-
) FESSIONS CODE §6081
(Filed Jul. 5, 2006)
TO THE HONORABLE CHIEF JUSTICE AND ASSOI-
CATE |sic] JUSTICES OF THE SUPREME COURT OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA:
Pursuant to Business and Professions Code §6081,
Petitioner, CHARLES C. McCARTHY respectfully re-
quests that this Court order the Review Department Of
The State Bar Court to “immediately file” with this Court,
a “certified copy” of its OPINION ON REVIEW AND
ORDER, allegedly filed in the State Bar Court Clerk’s
Office Los Angeles on or about May 08 2006 — which
stated: “We recommend that Charles C. McCarthy be
disbarred and his name be stricken from the roll of attor-
neys in this State.” (p10)
In support of this petition, petitioner alleges that:
1. To date, the State Bar has not filed a certified
copy of said Opinion On Review And Order
thereby violating the unambiguous provision of
App. 7
Business and Professions Code §6081, which
states in relevant part:
“Upon the making of any decision rec-
ommending the disbarment or suspen-
sion from practice of any member of the
State Bar, the board shall immedi-
ately file a certified copy of the decision
together with the transcript and the
findings, with the Clerk of the Supreme
Court.” (emphasis added)
By its patent violation of Business and Profes-
sions Code §6081, the Review Department Of
The State Bar Court presumably sought uncon-
scionable advantage in their preordained quest
to recommend the disbarment of Petitioner
Charles C. McCarthy. In so doing, members of
the State Bar Court committed acts involving
moral turpitude, dishonesty or corruption in vio-
lation of State Bar Act §6106.
Indisputably, the three members of the Review
Department Of The State Bar Court thereby
willfully violated Rule 1-100. Rules of Profes-
sional Conduct (A) Purpose and Function. eg. “to
protect the public and to promote respect and
confidence in the legal profession.”!
The right to practice law is a valuable right, one
which should not be taken away under circum-
stances that have even the slightest tendency to
suggest any possible unfairness or disadvantage
therein to the attorney whose right to remain in
his profession is challenged. Neblett v. State Bar
of Cal. (1941) 17 Cal.2d 77, 109 P.2d 340.
Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and by reference
made a part hereof, is a true and correct copy of
the 20 page DECLARATION OF CHARLES C.
App. 8
McCARTHY BEFORE THE STATE BAR OF
CALIFORNIA filed on November 9, 1999 which
states in relevant part:
“I have earned a personal and professional
reputation over fifty years that I cherish and
for which I will die.” ({1 p1)
“I was born on August 22, 1922 in Minnea-
polis, Minnesota; attended grammar and
high school in Evanston, Illinois; then com-
pleted 3 years at Northwestern University
until 1943 when I volunteered for service in
the U.S. Navy, first on board torpedo boats
then in the Navy Air Corps from which I
was houorably discharged in 1945. I thereaf-
ter attended the Northwestern University
School of Law from which I received my Ju-
ris Doctor degree in 1948.” (93 pp1,2)
“I was admitted to the practice of law in
California by the Supreme Court of Califor-
nia on June 14, 1949, thereafter actively
practicing law in the Westwood and Brent-
wood areas of Los Angeles until January 27,
1994 at which time I requested INACTIVE
status as of December 31, 1991; from that
date to July 6, 1999, I was an INACTIVE

App. 11
DECLARATION OF CHARLES C, McCARTHY
I, Charles C. McCarthy, declare as follows:
I am a party to this action. The facts recited in this
declaration are known to me of my own personal know]-
edge and if called upon to testify as a witness, I could and
would competently testify thereto.
I have earned a personal and professional reputation
over fifty years that I cherish and for which I will die.
2. Ihave formed an informal and abiding conviction
that neither my wife Joy nor I have expended KAU or PUA
monies for anything other than partnership purposes and
that I have violated no fiduciary duty to those partner-
ships or any of their Limited Partners.
3. I was born on August 22, 1922 in Minneapolis.
Minnesota, attended grammar and high school in Evans-
ton. Illinois; then completed 3 years at Northwestern
University until 1943 when I volunteered for service in the
U.S. Navy, first on board torpedo boats then in the Navy
Air Corps from which I was honorably discharged in 1945.
I thereafter attended the Northwestern University School
of Law from which I received my Juris Doctor degree in
1948.
4. I was admitted to the practice of law in California
by the Supreme Court of California on June 14, 1949,
thereafter actively practicing law in the Westwood and
Brentwood areas of Los Angeles until January 27, 1994 at
which time I requested INACTIVE status as of December
31, 1991; from that date to July 6, 1999, I was an INAC-
TIVE member of the State Bar of California. On July 6,
1999 I transferred at my request to the ACTIVE status.
Since that date I have been, and am at the date hereof, an
App. 12
ACTIVE member of the State Bar of California. No rec-
ommendation for discipline for professional or other
misconduct has ever been made by the Board of Governors
or a Disciplinary Board to the Supreme Court of the State
of California. All of the above is evidenced by a letter from
the Supervisor, Membership Records of the State Bar Of
California dated September 29, 1999, a copy of which is
attached hereto as Ex 1.
5. In 1967, 1968 and 1969, I organized three Califor-
nia Limited Partnerships to wit: Kau-Kona Land Co.
(KAU) as of Oct 10, 1967; Puapuaa-Kona Land Co (PUA)
as of Nov 20, 1968; and Onouli-Kona Land Co (ONO) as of
Dec 31, 1969 (not a subject of this proceedings).
1) I drew the AGREEMENTS OF LIMITED PART-
NERSHIP (KAU Ex 2, PUA Ex 3) each of which re-
cited that the: “Limited Partners are desirous of
participating with General Partners [McCarthy and
Prince] in purchasing the Real Property, with limited
liability and without assuming any managerial re-
sponsibilities in connection therewith.”
2) “The Purpose of the Business” of the Limited
Partnerships was to: “purchase and hold the Real
Property [situated near Kailua-Kona, Island of HI] for
investment.” (Art. III p 2) during the 20 year term of
each Limited Partnership. (Art. IV C. p 3) (KAU and
PUA Article and page references are identical.) The
Limited Partnerships purchased unimproved acreage
near Kona for the following prices:
1967:KAU 5miNofKona 1,400 ac $1.4mil ($1,000 per ac)
1968:PUA 1lmiSofKona 178ac_ 1.2mil ($6,700 per ac)
1969:ONO 10 miSofKona 300ac 1.5 mil ($5,000 per ac)
1,878 ac $4.1 mil
App. 13
Attached is a map of the Island of Hawaii (Ex 4) anda
map of NORTH KONA (Ex 5) which identify the KAU,
PUA and ONO parcels.
3) Each purchase closed on payment of 2 years of
prepaid interest. Thereafter, interest was payable an-
nually for a minimum of 5 years. Each purchase was
structured as a tax shelter using soft money, eg. in-
come tax deductible prepaid interest, with the objec-
tive of realizing a capital gain on sale; hopefully
before hard money, eg non-deductible payments on
purchase note principal, came due. Capital gains,
were then taxable @ 25%! Marginal taxes on ordinary
income were then as high as 90%! To assure the de-
ductibility of interest under then existing tax laws,
Prince and I assumed personal liability for any defi-
ciency on foreclosure!
4) To enhance the prospects of success and avoid
misunderstandings with the Limited Partners or
third parties, I vested the General Partners with “ab-
solute discretion” to sell, exchange, convey title, lease,
mortgage, refinance etc., “all or any part of the Real
Property ... upon such terms as they deem proper.” —
specifically including the following rights and powers:
4.1) “all of the rights, powers and liabilities of
partners in a partnership without limited part-
ners under the Partnership Law of the State of
California.” (Art X B. p 13);
4.2) “the exclusive right to determine whether
and when, to make distributions to the partners.”
(Art V D. p 7);
4.3) the authority to establish “One or more
partnership bank accounts ... in the name of the
partnership or otherwise as the General Partners
App. 14
or either of then shall see fit, in such bank ac-
count or accounts as they may from time to time
determine, into which the moneys of the partner-
ship shall be deposited. Withdrawals from any
such bank account or accounts shall be made
upon such signature or signatures as the General
Partners or either of them may designate.” (Art
XV p 19); and
4.4) The activities of the Limited Partners were
restricted: “The Limited Partners shall take no
part in, or interfere in any manner with, the con-
duct or control of the Partnership business or the
sale, leasing, or refinancing of its assets, and
shall have no right or authority to act for or bind
the Partnership,” (Art XI p 15)
5) At and prior to their entering into the Agree-
ments Of Limited Partnership each Limited Partner
was informed by the General Partners that the part-
nerships might participate in the joint venture devel-
opment of their properties; provided that the
deductibility of interest or capital gain treatment of
the proceeds of sale would not likely be jeopardized.
To facilitate that very attractive possibility, each of
the limited partnership agreements contained a para-
graph entitled “Waiver of Doctrine of Partnership Op-
portunity,” which provided that: “Any of the Partners,
General or Limited, may engage in or possess an in-
terest in other business ventures of every nature and
description, independently or with others, including
but not limited to the ownership, financing, leasing,
operation, management, syndication, brokerage, and
development of real property;” and “The fact that a
Partner, General or Limited, or a member of his fam-
ily is employed by, or is directly or indirectly inter-
ested in or connected with, any persons, firms or
corporation employed by the Partnership to render or
App. 15
perform a service ... shall not prohibit the General
Partners from executing a deed.... with ... such
person, firm, or corporation or from, other dealing
with him or it....” (Art X D, pp 13, 14)
6) Each of the Limited Partners invested in the Lim-
ited Partnerships in reliance on:
(i) my impeccable reputation of integrity and my com-
petence as an experienced real estate attorney and
developer; (ii) my unqualified endorsement of Prince,
who none of the Limited Partners had previously
known; and (iii) warranties and representations by
me and Prince that:
6.1) we would not rely solely on real estate bro-
kers to find buyers or joint venture development
partners for the Real Properties but would pro-
actively utilize our best efforts to merchandise
the Real Properties on our own;
6.2) Prince would establish his permanent resi-
dence in Kailua-Kona, Hi in Jan 1968 {which he
did] for the purpose of confirming the long term
commitment of the partnerships to the responsi-
ble development of their sizeable prime proper-
ties; and that
6.3) Prince and I would utilize our best efforts
to create good will for the Limited Partnerships
on the Big Island and in Honolulu; especially
with lenders and governmental agencies having
jurisdiction over zoning and development.
7) The 23 original KAU Limited Partners made ini-
tial capital contributions totaling $300,000, as set
forth in Ex A of the Agreement of Limited Partnership
of Kau-Kona Land Co. (Ex 2)
App. 16
Robert J. Schiller of Guild Management Corp., a long
time friend and client of mine, brought entertainment
business clients of his into the KAU Limited Partnership
including: Steve McQueen, Brian [Robert] Keith, Ricardo
Montalban and Sue Lyon — all of whom contributed about
50% of KAU’s initial $300,000 capitalization which was
entirely income tax deductible. I brought in the rest of the
investor Limited Partners, all of whom were long-time
friends and clients of mine including; Prince, with whom I
had developed a 12 unit condominium (Verde Pines) on
Burbank Blvd., a few blocks East of Van Nuys Blvd.: and a
40 unit condominium (Essex Town Houses) at the corner of
Hamlin and Kester, across the street from Van Nuys High
School in the San Fernando Valley; Elinor Mayer Kerna-
ghan, (whose father headed the Oscar Mayer Meat Pack-
ing Co.), a client and good friend of mine beginning at
Lincoln Grammar School in Evanston, Illinois; and Baird
C. Brittingham, brother of my close friend and client,
Thomas E. Brittingham, III. In 1963, 64, and 65 I was
Tom’s attorney and partner in: Blue Lagoon Villas, a 181
unit luxury condominium running from the Pacific Coast
Highway down to the ocean in South Laguna; and The
Flying Butler restaurant located on Newport Blvd. across
the street from the Newport Beach City Hall. Tom died in
Jan 1965. I represented Baird as the Executor of Tom’s
Estate.
8) The 28 original PUA Limited Partners made
initial capital contributions totaling $290,000, as set forth
in Ex A of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of
Puapuaa-Kona Land Co. (Ex 3)
Once again, Robert J. Schiller’s clients including:
Brian Keith, Steve McQueen, Ricardo Montalban and Sue
Lyon, contributed about 50% of PUA’s initial capitalization
App. 17
of $290,000. I brought in the rest of the Limited Partners
including long time friends:
Norman Q. Brill, M.D., Chief of the Neuro-
Psychiatric Institute at UCLA;
Anna Marie Peterson, my mother-in-law;
Paul D. Arthur, Ph.D., professor of mathematics
at UCLA and UC Irvine, a long time client;
Robert B. Jarchow, a high school classmate of
mine at Evanston Township High School;
George V.R. Mulligan, Jr., then manager of the
Los Angeles office of Booz, Allen and Hamilton, a long time
client; and
Gerald Lipsky, Esq., a successful Beverly Hills
entertainment lawyer and friend of mine since taking
Forest Cool’s Bar Review course together in 1949.
9) The investor Limited Partners of ONO were
similarly composed.
10) As co-equal General Partners, Prince and I each
had a 20% profit participation in KAU and 15% profit
participations in PUA and ONO. I gave my brother John 2
of my 20 point profit participation in KAU and 1 of my 15
point profit participations in PUA and ONO. John is
identified as a “Special Limited Partner” in each of the
Agreements Of Limited Partnership to distinguish him
from “Regular Limited Partners” who were obligated to
make calls for “Additional Capital Contributions,” which
John was not obligated to do. (Art V B. p 4)
App. 18
11) The Limited Partners in each of the partnerships
were entitled to receive a return of all their capital contribu-
tions before any profits were distributed to the General
Partners; except for 25% of any capital gains and 50% of
any ordinary income realized by the Limited Partnerships
which was payable to me and Prince so we could pay
income taxes attributable to us. (Art V D, pp 7, 8)
4, There follows a chronology of relevant events
occurring after formation of the three Limited Partner-
ships:
1971
KAU wins Eminent Domain settlement with the state
of Hawaii in the amount of $1,650,000 from which I
distributed over $300,000 to the KAU LPs after paying off
the $1.4 mil purchase note on which we had paid nothing
except pre-paid interest, 2 years of which was returned to
KAU. Thus, we owned 1,000 acres of prime Kona land all
free and clear. This was a major financial gain for all of
the partners — at least a four-fold increase on investment.
1976
Prince resumed his residence in California, thereby
breaching his fiduciary duties to each of the three Limited
Partnerships to reside in Kona to promote the business
affairs of the Limited Partnerships as he had warranted
and represented to each of the Limited Partners to induce
their investing in these three ventures.
1978
KAU petitioned Hawaii County to rezone the upper
732 acres of 1,000 acres from 5 acre Ag (100+ lots) to 4
acre Ag (197 lots); but it was nullified by Prince’s letter to
App. 19
the Hawaii County zoning director objecting to the pro-
posal to rezone in his capacity as a co-equal General
Partner of KAU.
1979
1) 1-29-79: McCarthy v Prince LASC No WE C
57669. I filed a Complaint to remove Prince as a Gen-
eral Partner in all three partnerships for many rea-
sons including: Prince’s abandonment of his duties as
General Partner by resuming his California residence
in 1976 and his nullification of KAU’s petition to re-
zone the upper 732 acres of 1,000 acres from 5 acre Ag
(100+ lots) to 3 acre Ag (197 lots) in 1978. (Ex 6)
2) KAU resubmitted petition to rezone upper 732
acres.
1982
KAU and PUA each borrowed $300,000 from Sterling
Bank of Los Angeles. Both loans were personally guaran-
teed by me and my wife, Joy. Loan proceeds were used to
purchase 900 water units by each partnership from
Hawaii County costing $225,000 @$250 per unit in order
to enhance the marketability of the properties.
1983
1) Hawaii County approved KAU rezone of upper
732 acres to 3 acre Ag (197 lots) from 5 acre AG (100+ lots)
resulting in a $13.4 mil appraisal!
2) 4-1-83: Estate of Richards v McCarthy, Prince and
ONO, HI Civil No. 8719; Complaint to Foreclose ONO for
delinquencies on the purchase note.
3) 9-6-83: McCarthy vs Prince, JUDGMENT AFTER
TRIAL BY COURT, LASC No. WE C 57967 (Ex 7), removed
App. 20
Prince as a General Partner in all three partnerships; his
20% profit participation in KAU was reduced to 10% and
10% awarded to me; his 15% profit participation in PUA
was reduced to 11% and 4% awarded to me; and his 15%
profit participation in ONO was reduced to 10% and 5%
awarded to me; Prince’s retained interests to be thereafter
identified respectively as a “Special Limited Partnership
Interest” similar to my brother John’s interests wherein he
had no authority as a General Partner and no obligation to
make calls as did a Regular Limited Partner.
1984
1) 6-6-84: ONO filed Chapter 11 in Hawaii. Case No
84-00269, to stay foreclosure, because the limited partners
were not disposed to making capital calls. This caused
ONO to default on the 1969 purchase note, as amended.
2) Hawaii County Water Dept demanded that KAU
and PUA each pay an additional $1,500 per water unit or
$1,350,000 for the 900 water units by July 1986.
3) 9-24-84: Estate of Richards v McCarthy et al. HI
Civil No. 8719: foreclosure Judgment entered on which
McCarthy, Prince and ONO were jointly and severally
liable for $2,242,988! (Ex 8)
1985
1) 8-18-85: Hawaii County Council adopts zoning
ordinance for Hawaii’s first “private agricultural park”
discussed at length in my 7-8-85 letter to the KAU Limited
Partners including the subjects of: water, loans, market-
ability, appraisal and projected profits. (Ex 9; 6 pp, enc. 35
pp) and my 9 page summary of 8-18-85 entitled “HUALA-
LAI Plantation.” (Ex 10)
App. 21
2) 9-3-85: ONO property (300 acres) sold at Bank-
ruptcy Court auction for $1,350,000 ($4,500 per acre) to
the Richards Estate. Order entered 11-1-85. Richards
applies sale proceeds to the Judgment leaving a deficiency
of $1,121,588 for which I was jointly severally liable with
Prince!
3) PUA received Eminent domain award for State’s
taking of the Queen K Highway right of way and paid off
the $300,000 Sterling Bank loan from proceeds! The PUA
property was thereby divided into 100 acres above and 65
acres below the new highway.
4) 11-22-85: I issued a 15th call to PUA Limited
Partners for Additional Capital Contributions delinquent
if not received by 12-22-85. (Ex 11)
1986
7-18-86: KAU and PUA bankruptcies;
(a) KAU filed Chapter 11 in the Honolulu
Federal Court, to stay forfeiture of 900 water units to
Hawaii County Water Dept for non-payment of $1,350,000;
and to stay Sterling Bank’s foreclosure for non-payment of
the $300,000 land loan used to buy 900 water units in
1982. All KAU LPs were noticed!
(b) PUA filed Chapter 11 in Hi, solely to stay
forfeiture of 900 water units to Hawaii County Water Dept
for non-payment of $1,350,000. All PUA LPs were noticed!
1987
1) May 87: About 30 KAU and PUA Limited Part-
ners, including Nazar H. Ashjian, Jr., attended a 3 hour
App. 22
meeting. The M.A.I. appraisal of KAU’s Hualalai Planta-
tion at $13,400,000 was a central topic of discussion!
2) 10-30-87: I sent a letter to the KAU LPs enclosing
2 copies of Amendment To Agreement Of Limited Partner-
ship extending the term of the partnership. (Ex 12)
3) 11-25-87: I sent a letter to the KAU and PUA
Limited Partners re seeking the Bankruptcy Court’s order
authorizing conveyance of the Partnerships’ properties to
joint venture development projects to be funded by loan
commitments of CitiSavings of San Antonio, Texas due to
close by 12-31-87 — time of the essence! (Ex 13)
At about the same time an attorney for a few succes-
sor LPs sent out notices inviting the KAU and PUA LPs to
attend a meeting on 12-2-87 “to discuss Mr. McCarthy’s
proposals for disposition of the partnership properties, as
set forth in the papers served with the Notice of Hearing
setting a Bankruptcy hearing for December 9, 1987.” (Ex
14)
About 30 KAU and PUA LPs attended the 2 hour
meeting including Nazar H. Ashjian, Jr., Also attending
was Leon Daniell, a Harlingen, Texas developer who had
played a key role in generating the Citi commitment. I was
anxious for the LPs to meet him. He made a very good
impression. Daniell owned about 800 precious water units
left over from his recent sale of 300 acres near Kona that
were an integral part of the deal with Citi which had a
20% profit participation in each of the proposed projects.
The proposed joint ventures were unanimously approved
by the KAU and PUA LPs present or represented at the
meeting. No one objected!.
App. 23
4) 12-7-87: I sent another letter to the KAU and PUA
Limited Partners re the proposed joint venture develop-
ment projects to be funded by CitiSavings. (Ex 15)
5) 12-9-87: Honolulu Bankruptcy Court hearing re
approval of KAU and PUA proposed joint venture devel-
opment projects to be funded by CitiSavings. Dissident
successor Limited Partners representing a small minority
of interests appear by counsel at the hearing and object
Citi is spooked. The matter was continued by the Bank-
ruptcy Court.
6) 12-23-87: I filed a Motion To Dismiss PUA from
Honolulu Bankruptcy Court (Ex 16) because water rights
were available for purchase from Leon Daniell without
having to pay $1,350,000.
“Accordingly, on or before the hearing on the instant
motion [noticed for 1-15-88], the Debtor will enter into an
option agreement to purchase up to 835 water units from
Daniell.”
On entry of the Order of Dismissal. Daniell also
agreed to loan sufficient monies to Debtor to pay all
creditor claims in full. All PUA LPs were noticed!
The same dissident successor LPs who appeared by
counsel and objected in the KAU bankruptcy proceedings
on 12-11-87 likewise appeared by counsel and objected to
PUA's Motion To Dismiss!
1988
1) PUA Bankruptcy
1-26-88: Order Dismissing PUA from Bankruptcy
Court entered.(Ex 17) All PUA LPs were noticed!
App. 24
1-28-88: I received attorney Neuhoff’s 3 page
letter VLA CERTIFIED MAIL Re: PUA (i) Rationale of
client’s opposition at Dec 9, 1987 Bankruptcy Ct hearing
and to PUA Motion To Dismiss heard 1-15-88; (ii) “As we
all know from 20 years experience everything does no [sic]
always proceed according to your pro forma plans;” (iii)
“_.. if the land could be sold now for $3,000,000, the
Partnership could derive the same benefit in the near
future without incurring the risks and delays of develop-
ment.” (Ex 18)
2-2-88: I sent a letter to the PUA LPs which
stated, “we were unable to make a deal with CitiSavings.”
“The Court having granted our Motion To Dismiss the
bankruptcy proceedings I have decided to sell our property
to a developing entity to be formed by Leon Daniell and
myself, on the terms set forth in the enclosed copy of Offer
For Purchase Of Real Estate and Acceptance (including a
$1,750,000 four year 9.5% note and a 30% profit participa-
tion!).”
“As shown in the enclosed Pro-Forma, our partnership
is better off by about $1.5 million than in the Citi deal.
The partnership realizes a Gross Return of $4,882,350,
70% of which, or $3,417,645, goes to the Limited Part-
ners.” (Ex 19)
2-9-88: James A. Wagner, PUA’s Honolulu Bank-
ruptcy attorney, received a 2 page letter from Ashjian’s
attorney, Tim Bruinsma of Hill, Farrer and Burrill, conclud-
ing “In short, the proposed transaction appears to
either be an admission by the General Partner of a
substantial failure in his management of the existing
partnership, an attempt by the General Partner to
App. 25
utilize his position to achieve preferential treatment
ahead of the limited partners or both.” cc: Nazar H.
Ashjian, Jr., CPA (Ex 20)
2-17-88: Three-hour meeting of about 20 PUA
Limited Partners, including Ashjian, held, noticed by the
same dissident successor Limited Partners “to adopt a
plan to oppose McCarthy’s proposed plans” disclosed in the

ceived a letter dated 2-17-88 from attorney Levy re: “The
meeting of this morning,” setting forth a proposal. (Ex 22)

the undersigned Estate of ELINOR MAYER BRYDEN
may have concerning or with respect to any future part-
nership distributions.” (Ex 29) (emphasis added)
App. 27
Accordingly, the Executor signed the Warranty,
Indemnification and Release Re Preliminary Distribution
of Profits. Then I sent a KAU check to the Executor in the
Estate’s favor for $209,460 which closed the matter.
2) 9-18-89 Ashjian’s letter to me by Certified Mail
states: “Please receive this letter as an additional demand
for my share of the July 27, 1988 preliminary distribu-
tion.”! (Ex 30)
3) 9-22-89 I sent a letter to the KAU LPs this date
stating: “Be advised that Kau-Kona Land Co, recently filed
a 9-count Complaint in the Third Circuit Court of Hawaii
against CitiSavings and their attorneys for treble compen-
satory damages of $22 million and punitive damages of
$19,500,000.00”
“Kau’s claims mirror those being made by me and
Leon Daniell against the same defendants. The costs of
litigation are being shared equally.” (Ex 31)
4) 9-22-89 KAU Attorney Bullis responds to Ashjian’s
Sept 18 letter stating:
“1. As you well know, preliminary distribution
will be made to you on receipt of the duly executed Receipt
and Release, as has been done will all of the other Limited
Partners. (emphasis added)
2. Mr. McCarthy’s letter dated September 22,
1989 to the Kau-Kona Land Co. Limited Partners re-
sponds to the other subject of your letter.” (Ex 32)
App. 28
1990
1) 6-12-90 My Memo to the PUA LPs enclosed a copy
of Hawaii Zoning Ordinance No. 9063 evidencing zone
change to upper 99 acres. (Ex 33)
2) 9-26-90 My Memo (by my secretary) to the KAU
LPs enclosed a copy of a newspaper article from West
Hawaii Today about our lawsuit against Citi entitled
“Massive civil suit brewing over soured development.”
Trial began 9-18-90. My Memo stated: “Jury selection and
opening statement went extremely well.” (Ex 34)
1991
1) 3-28-91 Ashjian’s letter to me by Certified Mail
stated that: “Within ten (10) days of this letter I demand
that you deliver to me my share of the initial distribution
as you made to the other limited partners.” If not received
“I shall instruct my attorney to proceed with an action to
obtain the monies for me along with any related damages.”
Additionally: “Should I not have an answer from you I
shall reflect such currently unresolved concerns of mine as
to the correctness of a K-1 in my 1990 personal income tax
filings to the Internal Revenue Service and the Franchise
Tax Board.” (Ex 35)
2) 9-17-91 Ashjian’s letter to me states: “I had
heard ... that the Puapuaa note was paid and you
lent the money back to yourself or your develop-
ment group.”
“For the record, if the partnership did get paid off I
DEMAND that you immediately pay my monies to me.”
(Ex 36)
App. 29
1993
On 6-23-93 attorney Frederick H. Stern filed two
LASC Complaints on behalf of Ashjian:
(i) Ashjian v CCM Case No. BS 023 800
Re: his alleged PUA damages;
(ii) Ashjian vy CCM Case No BS 023 801
Re: his alleged KAU damages
N.B. Initially these actions produced a mountain of
paper but were eventually abandoned by Ashjian when I
filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in May, 1996.
1996-1999
State Bar Proceedings
1) 1-23-96 Ashjian files a Complaint against me with
the State Bar pertaining to KAU (Ex 37) and PUA (Ex 38)
N.B. Ashjian’s letterhead does not reveal that he is a CPA,
nor does any of his subsequent correspondence with the
State Bar!
2) 3-27-96 State Bar Investigator Garcia writes me a
letter summarizing Ashjian’s Complaint (Ex 39)
3) 4-19-96 I responded to Investigator Garcia's letter
stating in substance that: (i) Never since being admitted to
practice in June 1949 “has anyone ever filed a complaint
with The State Bar of California relating in any way to my
professional conduct — until the recent filing by Nazar
Ashjian.”; (ii) “At no time to the present has an attorney-
client relationship ever existed between me and Mr.
Ashjian.”; and (iii) The “specious claims made by Mr.
App. 30
Ashjian arise out of a business relationship which The
State Bar of California has no jurisdiction to adjudicate.”
“Nevertheless, Mr. Ashjian filed his Complaint in the
false hope of intimidating me into making a sizeable
settlement of his specious claims though knowing full well
that an attorney-client relationship had never existed
between us. I am confident The State Bar of California
will not be party to this attempted shakedown.” (Ex 40)
4) 2-20-97 Ten months later, Inspector Garcia re-
sponds to my letter of 4-19-96 stating “it appears there
was a fiduciary duty you owed to Mr. Ashjian since the
Arbitrator found that you, as a general partner of Kau-
Kona Land Co., were a fiduciary” and that “We intend to
proceed in this matter.” Garcia then repeated the allega-
tion of Ashjian’s Complaint set forth in Garcia’s letter of
4-19-96. (Ex 41)
5) 3-25-97 James R. Felton, of Greenberg and Bass,
responded to Inspector Garcia’s 2-19-97 letter with a 3
page letter noting that his office is representing me “with
reference to various litigation, including an action cur-
rently in the bankruptcy court filed by Nazar Ashjian
(Ashjian v. McCarthy, USBC Case No. SV 96-15656-AG.).”
Felton then states:
“First, we think that it is important that the State Bar
understands that Mr. Ashjian’s complaint is simply part of
a scheme to, leverage Mr. McCarthy into submission in the
civil action.” [eg. the bankruptcy court action]
Felton concludes:
“With all of the above in mind, we believe that Mr.
Ashjian’s complaint is simply a product of his desire to
App. 31
prevail in the civil arena. The bankruptcy court will
ultimately determine whether Mr. McCarthy breached any
fiduciary duty and whether Mr. McCarthy, notwithstand-
ing his bankruptcy, should be held monetarily responsible
for a monetary debt to Mr. Ashjian. That court is consider-
ing this matter and the State Bar should let the bank-
ruptcy court be the adjudicator of the dispute between Mr.
McCarthy and Mr. Ashjian.” (Ex 42)
Ashjian’s attempted extortion is again corroborated:
2-18-97: fax Ashjian/attorney Felton Re: IRS
agent allegedly investigating KAU and PUA (Ex
43)
3-21-97: Ashjian Draft settlement Agreement re-
quires payment of $35,000 rather than $25,000
previously agreed! (Ex 44)
4-8-97: fax Ashjian/attorney Felton Re: repeating
his threat re IRS and FIB (Ex 45)
6) 4-30-97 Inspector Garcia’s letter to Felton states
“The State Bar of California would like to ask a few more
questions regarding Mr. McCarthy’s dealings with Mr.
Ashjian.”
This statement is followed by 7 paragraphs and
Garcia’s statement:
“In order to complete this investigation, we request
your written response to these allegations along with any
documentation.” (Ex 46)
(Shortly thereafter Governor Pete Wilson vetoed the
State Bar’s annual dies authorization bill. Nothing further
was heard from the State Bar for 2 years and 4 months.)
App. 32
7) 8-23-99 Terrie Goldade, State Bar Deputy Trial
Counsel, resurrected the State Bar’s proceedings when
she, wrote Felton:
“Based on a review of the investigation, it has been
determined that unless a pre-filing settlement is reached,
a Notice of Disciplinary Charges should be filed, charging
the respondent with the commission of acts of professional
misconduct, including but not limited to, violations of
Business and Professions Code sections 6106 [Moral
Turpitude, Dishonesty or Corruption Irrespective Of
Criminal Conviction] and 6090.5(a)(2) [Atty/Client Agree-
ment Not to File Complaint] in addition to possible Rules
of Professional Conduct of the State Bar of California.”
Goldade requests a call from Felton “to meet before
September 12, 1999; otherwise, the Notice of Disciplinary
Charges will be filed by the close of business on that date”
(Ex 47)
8) My attorney, Henry T. Heuer, addressed a letter to
Ms Goldade stating: “As we discussed earlier today, please
consider this letter the formal request of Charles C.
McCarthy for all discoverable documents including but not
limited to ‘all exculpatory evidence from the State Bar’s
investigation files,’ as described in your August 23, 1999
letter. You estimated that these documents were approxi-
mately two reams in quantity. Please let me know the cost
of these copies once you have made that determination.
This letter also confirms our meeting at your office on
Wednesday, September 8, 1999 at 10:00 a.m.”
Mr. Heuer and I met with Ms Goldade at the ap-
pointed time.
App. 33
9) 9-14-99 Goldade presented the documents re-
quested by Mr. Heuer’s letter of Sept 1 being approxi-
mately 1,000 copies of undifferentiated documents piled in
3 amorphous stacks of paper. The colossally burdensome
task of reading, evaluating and organizing this jumble of
paper required at least 70 hours of my time.
To date, the State Bar has not specified my alleged
“acts of professional misconduct” alluded to in Ms
Goldade’s letter constituting:
(i) “any act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty or
corruption” with the meaning of Business and Professions
Code § 6106; or
(ii) a violation of Business and Professions Code
§ 6090.5(a)(2); or
(ui) a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct
of the State Bar of California; or
(iv) a violation of any other law.
Attempting to ferret out the facts on which Ms
Goldade might premise any charges against me from the
1,000 pages she produced, is literally impossible. This is
particularly so because the documents are rife with gross
misstatements of the facts, applicable law and applicable
accounting principles relating to matters originating over
32 years ago in 1967!
It is my belief however that the incomprehensible
claims embodied in the 1,000 pages constitute essentially
the same issues of fact and law tried before the Bank-
ruptcy Court on February 2 and 3, 1998 pursuant to
Ashjian’s Complaint To Determine Dischargeability.
App. 34
The Bankruptcy Court’s Joint Pretrial Order filed Dec
1, 1997 identified Disputed Issues Of Law:
“The following issues of law, and no others, remain to
be litigated:
1. Whether the unsecured loan by the Limited
Partnership to Pualani Development Co. in the
amount of $1,400,00, [sic] per Exhibit 11, constituted
a breach of fiduciary duty as a general partner of the
Limited Partnership within the meaning of 11 U.S.C.
Section 523(a)(4), and whether Debtor converted
Plaintiff’s capital account of $25,324 within the pur-
view of 11 U.S.C. Section 524(a)(6) so as to render
Plaintiff’s claim nondischargeable? (emphasis added)
2. Whether certain transfers of funds from the
Limited Partnership to Joy McCarthy constituted a
breach of Debtor’s fiduciary duty as a general partner
of the Limited Partnership within the meaning of 11
U.S.C. Section 523(a)(4) and whether Debtor con-
verted Plaintiffs capital account of $25,324 within
the purview of 11 U.S.C. Section 524(a)(6) as to ren-
der Plaintiff's $25,324 claim nondischargeable? (em-
phasis added)
3. Are any of Plaintiff's claims relating to the
Limited Partnership barred by the applicable state of
limitations, the doctrines of laches, waiver or estop-
pel? (emphasis added)
Following oral argument on 2-3-98, the Bankruptcy
Court ordered Judgment For Defendant Charles C.
McCarthy on all issues; primarily on the grounds that all
of Plaintiff Ashjian’s claims were barred by applicable
statutes of limitation. The Court referred to Exs 55 and 58
(Exs 19 and 20 herein) observing that:
App. 35
~— Ashjian mistrusted McCarthy since Feb 88
— by Sept 91 Ashjian had sufficient information to
trigger a lawsuit
~— Ashjian cannot “bootstrap” a claim barred by the
Statute of Limitations in his Complaint To Determine
Dischargeability
— there is no evidence that McCarthy pocketed any
money but I don’t have to decide that because the
conversion claim is also barred
~- Ashjian was aware of his claims in Sept 91
As to partnership bank accounts in my wife Joy’s
name, the Court commented in part:
— bank accounts created as a convenience do not con-
stitute a breach of fiduciary duty
— there is no evidence that money in the bank ac-
count(s) in Joy McCarthy’s name was used for other
than partnership purposes
— there is no evidence of misuse, or impropriety or
personal uses of money in partnership bank accounts
in Mrs. McCarthy’s name
I invite — indeed challenge — investigators of the State
Bar to audit, with my full cooperation, all of the thousands
of documents in my possession which confirm beyond a
reasonable doubt the findings of the Bankruptcy Court
that neither I, nor my wife Joy, used any money of the
partnerships’ for other than partnership purposes; nor did
I ever violate my fiduciary duty to the partnerships.
The Bankruptcy Court’s Joint Pretrial Order filed Dec
1, 1997 was preceded by the Court's MEMORANDUM OF
DECISION RE: SUMMARY JUDGMENT entered Jul 29,
App. 36
1997 (Ex 48) wherein the Court ruled on Ashjian’s claims
re: KAU that Defendant McCarthy was barred by the
doctrine of collateral estoppel from contesting Plaintiff’s
LAMC judgment for $31,606.22 (p 4: 18-20); and PUA that
“Triable issues exist regarding the plaintiff's claim of
nondischargeability as to the Puapuaa-Kona Land Com-
pany partnership” (p 8: 14-16)
The Bankruptcy Court’s ORDER ON MOTION FOR
SUMMARY JUDGMENT was entered July 29, 1997 (Ex
49) No final Judgment has been entered thereon! When,
and if it is, I shall file an appeal principally on the grounds
that misapplication of the doctrine of collateral estoppel
has deprived me of my day in court regarding Ashjian’s
PUA claims that are barred by applicable statutes of
limitation.
Following the Bankruptcy Court’s ordering Judgment
For Defendant on all issues re: PUA; Ashjian filed his
Request For Dismissal on Feb 10, 1998 in the matter of
Nazar H. Ashjian, Jr. v Joy McCarthy, Et. Al., LASC Case
No. LC 041 147. (Ex 50) Ashjian’s Complaint in that
matter had been filed on May 15, 1997. (Ex 51)
Ashjian’s unverified Complaint set forth 14 Causes Of
Action against Joy — the first 7 causes related to Ashjian’s
alleged claim re KAU and the remaining 7 causes related
to his alleged claims re PUA
e The 5th cause alleged that Joy converted $20,946 of
Ashjian’s KAU capital account. (p 6)
e The 6th cause alleged that “Charles McCarthy pur-
ported to transfer to” Joy “assets” of KAU with “ac-
tual intent to hinder, delay or defraud the creditors of
Charles McCarthy” and KAU “including Plaintiff in
the collection of his claim.” (p 7)
App. 37
The 7th cause seeks “To Have Fraudulent Transfer Set
Aside” (p 9) Ashjian’s 12th, 13th and 14th causes (pp 12,
13 and 15) assert the same claims as the 5th, 6th and 7th
causes cited above — with respect to Ashjian’s alleged
claims re PUA.
Subsequent to the filing of Ashjian’s Complaint on
May 15, 1997 there followed the predictable orgy of discov-
ery, including issuance of a Deposition Subpena [sic] For
Production of Business Records on Sep 11, 1997 (Ex 52)
which was served on City National Bank Sep 22, 1997. (Ex
53)
Both the results of the Bankruptcy Court trial on Feb
2 and 3 1998 and Ashjian’s Dismissal of his Complaint
against Joy — confirm that: the filing of Ashjian’s Com-
plaint against Joy on May 15, 1997 was a consequence of
my filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy on May 19, 1996; Ashjian’s
Complaint v Joy was patently specious as he well knew;
and that Ashjian’s Complaint was filed for the sole purpose
of attempting to extort money from Joy!
Attached are copies of my letters to the KAU and PUA
limited partnerships (Exs 54 and 55 respectively) account-
ing for my stewardship as General Partner of these part-
nerships from October 10, 1967 and November 20, 1968
respectively. I state without reservation that I take great
pride in my stewardship of these partnerships
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of
the state of California that the foregoing is true and
correct.

TO THE HONORABLE CHIEF JUSTICE AND ASSOI-

1. By envelope post-marked JUL 27 2006 — Petitioner
received a copy of a letter dated July 25, 2006 addressed
to the Clerk of the California Supreme Court re this
matter, by Tracey McCormick, Assistant General Counsel
of The State Bar Of California stating:
“Dear Clerk,
This letter is to advise the court that the State

2. Ms. McCormick’s cryptic, single sentence declaring
“the matter moot” implemented an evil cunning State
Bar scheme to summarily deprive Petitioner of due process
of law in violation of the 14th Amendment of The Consti-
tution of the United States
3. The unambiguous intent of the State Bar’s July 25,
2006 letter was to induce the Clerk of the Supreme Court
Of California to cause the prompt Dismissal With Preju-
dice of Petitioner’s Verified Petition filed herein on July 5,
2006!
4, The State Bar thereby intended to avoid having to file
their Verified responses to Petitioner’s Verified Petition, re
the allegations of Js 2 and 3 thereof, charging that mem-
bers of the State Bar Court of “willfully” committed acts
involving “moral turpitude” in violation of Rule 1-100,
Rules of Professional Conduct and State Bar Act §6106
respectively!
5. Irrefutably, the State Bar’s proceedings against
Petitioner constitutes cruel and unusual punishment to a
man who stated in his State Bar Declaration of November
9, 1999:
“I have earned a personal and professional repu-
tation over fifty years that I cherish and for
App. 45
which I will die.” (Ex 1, 91, pl quoted at 73, p2
Verified Petition)
6. The State Bar’s implementation of its reprehensible
scheme referred to above, is an arrogant, shameful failure
to act responsibly as “an administrative arm” of the
Supreme Court of the State of California! (Herrscher v.
State Bar (1935), 4 Cal.2d 399, 49 P2d 837.
7. Ineluctably, The Supreme Court of the State of Cali-
fornia must impose severe sanctions upon The State Bar
Court and its individual members responsible for their
outrageous, unlawful conduct referred to in Js 1, 2 and 3
of Petitioner’s Verified Petition filed herein on July 5,
2006; and Js 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of this Supplement to said
Verified Petition. Members of the State Bar and the State
