River Deep - Phil Spector, Leonard Cohen: Kelley Lynch's Motion to Recuse the City Attorney - Conflicts of Interest (Phil Spector, etc.), Prosecutorial Misconduct, An Entirely Fraudulent Trial Record, Perjury Re. Witnesses, Etc.
Kelley Lynch's Motion to Recuse the City Attorney - Conflicts of Interest (Phil Spector, etc.), Prosecutorial Misconduct, An Entirely Fraudulent Trial Record, Perjury Re. Witnesses, Etc.
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that as soon as the matter may be heard, defendant KELLEY LYNCH, in Propria Persona, will and hereby does move the court for an order disqualifying the entire City Attorney’s Office from prosecuting this case and asks this court after considering the statement of facts, argument, declarations, exhibits, and all files before this court (including the 1385 Motion) to order an evidentiary hearing concerning the facts alleged. Lynch asks this Court for one of the following remedies: recuse the entire City Attorney’s Office and/or, in the alternative, recuse the “Family Violence Unit” from prosecuting this matter and, because of the grave conflicts of interest, egregious prosecutorial misconduct that has infested all proceedings involving Lynch, either refer the case to the Attorney General of California or dismiss all charges, entirely false, and prohibit the prosecution from relitigating them. Lynch also asks this Court for a determination that the California domestic violence order is formally null and void due to the death of Leonard Cohen.
This motion is based on this notice, Penal Code section 1424, the statement of facts, declarations, and evidence incorporated herein from the Section 1385 Motion, the attached declarations of Kelley Lynch and Paulette Brandt, points and authorities, the court’s file, and on such other matters as may be presented to the court at the time of hearing.
When Kelley Lynch was preparing her Section 1385 Motion (which the Court later characterized as a demurrer to the complaint), it did not occur to her that a motion to recuse the entire City Attorney’s Office was necessary. This is because, although she addressed the egregious prosecutorial misconduct that infested the 2012 proceedings, she did not realize that the misconduct would continue to manifest in the present proceedings. Throughout the three hearings Lynch has attended in this case to date, the prosecutors have fabricated charges and allegations, routinely lied, deceived the Court, used the original domestic violence order as a pre-filing restraint and restraint upon Lynch’s speech and lawful conduct, and/or falsely accused her of violating a restraining order that did not extend to attorneys of record in Colorado. The prosecutors have also provided Lynch with four binders of “evidence” that she has been advised contains the same unauthenticated emails printed out over and over again, sometimes hundreds of times. It was not until the actual arraignment hearing that Lynch understood that the false charges brought against her with respect to alleged restraining order violations related to Robert Kory and Michelle Rice, Leonard Cohen’s former attorneys and paid witnesses. Robert Kory and Michelle Rice do not have restraining orders against Lynch. They are not part of any restraining order deceased singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen managed to obtain against Lynch – blatantly fraudulent and all issued without affording Lynch due process of law.
But after attending these hearings, being forced into an abusive meeting with Sandra Jo Streeter and her colleague, reviewing the Complaint, hearing Paulette Brandt’s summarization of the contents of the so-called evidence binders, reviewing the alleged evidence attached to the Complaint itself (including communications with the Colorado Court), and analyzing other information Sandra Jo Streeter provided her, Lynch recognized the need for a recusal motion. Lynch is completely innocent. The charges are false. And, at no time has she possessed an “intent to annoy” Robert Kory, Michelle Rice, and/or Kory & Rice, LLP. On the contrary, co-conspirators Kory & Rice, who are absolutely not “victims,” have the motive and specific intent to crush and destroy Lynch while benefiting from their unlawful conduct which involves retaliation and the ongoing pursuit of false criminal proceedings. After all, they are aware that their conduct is viewed as “litigation protected” and seemingly condoned by countless courts in numerous jurisdictions. Due to the fact that every prosecutor Lynch has been forced to confront has blatantly lied to the Court, submitted fraudulent legal pleadings and perjured declarations, suborned perjury, and engaged in the misconduct which is ongoing, this motion to disqualify should apply to the whole office. In the alternative, Lynch asks the Court to specifically recuse all members of the “Family Violence Unit.” The order Leonard Cohen obtained against Lynch in Colorado, issued without findings or an evidentiary hearing where Lynch would NOT be apprised of the allegations against her, was not a domestic violence order. Another possible remedy for the egregious ongoing prosecutorial misconduct and the entirely false charges would be to dismiss all charges in their entirety and prohibit the City Attorney of Los Angeles from relitigating this case. Lynch also maintains that there are very probable issues related to double jeopardy attached to these proceedings and conflicting enforcement proceedings in two separate states.
This statement of facts incorporates herein the Section 1385 Motion, together with all exhibits and declarations attached thereto, Lynch filed asking this Court to dismiss the criminal proceedings in the furtherance of justice. The primary issue in that motion was egregious prosecutorial misconduct and an entirely fraudulent trial record. This statement of facts also incorporates herein the declarations and exhibits attached hereto and made a part hereof. One exhibit contains a summary of the misconduct in this case as Lynch addressed the prior misconduct with respect to her 2012 trial extensively in the Section 1385 Motion. Those facts have not changed.
There is an appearance of a conflict in that prosecutor Sandra Jo Streeter, during the retaliatory probation violation in Case No. 2CA04539, decided to step into the dual role of victim/witness using preposterous allegations related to an email Lynch sent to FBI and DOJ concerning Los Angeles prosecutors’ use of false threat scams to prosecute innocent people. The conflict with Sandra Jo Streeter and her colleague, Vivienne Swanigan, also involves a situation with Bay Area lawyer Stephen Gianelli who continues to represent Leonard Cohen’s interests while harassing Lynch and others.
There is a further conflict that involves the Phil Spector case, District Attorney of Los Angeles, and Los Angeles Police Department. LAPD’s Threat Management Unit works for the City Attorney and District Attorney of Los Angeles and they are eternally conflicted with respect to Lynch. Lynch’s Section 1385 motion addressed the egregious prosecutorial misconduct throughout all proceedings related to her 2012 prosecution. At no time did Lynch knowingly or willingly violate any protection order in either Colorado or California. She testified that she understood the Colorado order expired. During her trial she was unaware of the newly created California domestic violence order. Lynch believes that was entirely intentional. She also maintains that Leonard Cohen and his representatives, Kory and Rice, filed the order fraudulently as a domestic violence order to confront allegations that Leonard Cohen sexually harassed, sexually assaulted, and exposed himself to his female personal manager for a period of 20 years. From approximately late February 2009 through April 2014, the Boulder Combined Court advised Lynch and others, including Paulette Brandt, that the permanent Colorado order expired on February 15, 2009. Lynch was not aware of the newly issued California domestic violence order, that is not a registration of the Colorado order but a fraudulent registration and unlawful modification of that order, until the Spring of 2013. As Lynch was not present for the ex parte hearing in the Colorado case, she was unaware of the allegations and did not know if Leonard Cohen testified that she was his lover. Lynch and Cohen were never in any type of statutory required dating relationship. Cohen’s testimony with respect to this issue was nothing other than a perjury confession. The Colorado Court had no jurisdiction over domestic violence. Leonard Cohen has no standing as a protected party in accordance with California or Colorado’s domestic violence statutes, acts, and/or the federal Violence Against Women’s Act, etc. On April 10, 2014, Lynch received written confirmation from the Boulder Combined Court that the Colorado order was not a domestic violence order. She also received, for the first time, a copy of the Verified Motion, entirely fraudulent, and the Boulder Combined Court’s database print-out showing the following information: the temporary order was vacated on September 2, 2008, a motion to dismiss was entered on January 12, 2009; and, an order expired on February 15, 2009. Therefore, the Boulder Combined Court misled Lynch and others for years. That does not relate to Lynch’s conduct and she should not be held accountable for the conduct of others. Lynch was not notified, served, or provided an opportunity to be heard with respect to the domestic violence order issued on May 25, 2011. The issue of domestic violence has never been before a court, there have never been any findings of domestic violence, and domestic violence has never been submitted to any jurors. In fact, during Lynch’s 2012 trial, the juror verdict forms clearly stated that the order Lynch allegedly violated was the September 2, 2008 Colorado order although the prosecutor was quite clear that it was the 2011 California domestic violence order. It is irrelevant if Cohen and his representatives argue that registering an out-of-state order fraudulently is mandatory in California using domestic violence form DV-600. That is blatantly false. VAWA does not apply to non-domestic violence civil harassment orders. There is no uniform act that applies to non-domestic violence civil harassment orders. The fact that Los Angeles Superior Court has no remedies for its own outrageous errors is entirely disturbing.
The conflicts of interest and ongoing misconduct are indeed so grave in nature as to render it entirely probable that Lynch will never receive a fair trial, particularly given the fact that the entire 2012 trial record is replete with fraudulent misrepresentations, false statements, and perjured testimony or the fact that fraudulent domestic violence orders have been transmitted into local, state, and federal databases. Other conflicts in this case involve the use of Lynch’s 2012 trial to promote the careers of former City Attorney Carmen Trutanich and former DDA Alan Jackson, both of whom were running for office at that time. The Phil Spector trial was a very important issue during that campaign. In fact, Phil Spector was featured on the voter ballot. David Mamet had recently publicly stated that he felt Phil Spector had been railroaded and that generated extensive publicity – as did his film about the trial which changed many people’s minds about Phil Spector’s guilt. It seemed glaringly obvious, during the 2012 trial, that Phil Spector, former DA Steve Cooley, and former DDA Alan Jackson were centerpieces of the proceedings. The proceedings permitted Leonard Cohen to take the stand, under the pretense that Lynch accused him of perjuring himself in the Spector case (after he advised her for 20 years that Phil Spector never held a gun on him and his stories were merely “good rock ‘n roll” stories), and presenting public testimony, and further fabrications (which included statements about Lana Clarkson), about his entirely fabricated and embellished gun story involving Phil Spector. Leonard Cohen now has three versions of his gun story about Phil Spector before LA Superior Court. The version he testified to in the 2012 proceedings completely contradicts the version Spector’s prosecutors used in their motion in limine and, if Mick Brown (UK Telegraph) was correct after reviewing the transcript, which were presented to the Spector Grand Jury. Those transcripts were unsealed by Judge Larry Fidler and Mick Brown reviewed them while writing his book about Phil Spector.
An additional conflict has arisen with respect to Lynch and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office due to the fact that she formally notified the City and County of Los Angeles, and will notify the State of California, that she intends to file lawsuits with respect to these proceedings. These proceedings are nothing other than the means with which to discredit Lynch, destroy her life, and distress or intimidate her friends, family, and witnesses. That issue was initially addressed in the Natural Wealth lawsuit filed with the U.S. District Court in Colorado alleging that Leonard Cohen and his lawyer, Robert Kory, engaged in extortion, were involved in a legal conspiracy, and further engaged in acts of witness tampering, witness intimidation, bribery of a witness, and other outrageous conduct. Lynch was and remains that witness. Lynch will file a request for judicial notice involving that case in the near future.
Finally, Lynch and the City Attorney of Los Angeles are even further conflicted due to the fact that she has publicly asked IRS, FBI, and DOJ to investigate her entire trial, these proceedings, all lies and perjury related to federal tax matters, a potential quid pro quo between Leonard Cohen (who was represented by former DA Ira Reiner) and due to the fact that former DA Steve Cooley who publicly aligned themselves in targeting Lynch during her 2012 trial. The City Attorney and District Attorney of Los Angeles worked together on Lynch’s 2012 prosecution, Phil Spector was a highlight of Lynch’s trial, and Steve Cooley had an investigator in the courtroom in a blatant attempt to intimidate Lynch. Steve Cooley has a pattern and practice of retaliating against people, including his own Deputy District Attorneys. Lynch has also asked DOJ and Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate the fraudulent domestic violence orders, potential VAWA funding fraud, and has requested a remedy from FBI with respect to the fraudulent domestic violence orders that have been transmitted into federal databases.
As of this date, the Los Angeles City Attorney has filed criminal complaints against Kelley Lynch on two separate occasions, in 2012 (Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. 2CA04539) and 2016 (Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. 6CJ03685), alleging violations of restraining orders issued to Leonard Cohen and violations of restraining orders that Cohen’s lawyers, Michelle Rice and Robert Kory, do not have. The charges in both cases involve the companion “intent to annoy” penal code which permits the City Attorney to selectively attack the speech “content” of one’s communications in violation of their first amendment right to free speech. The statute is unconstitutionally vague, does not put an individual on notice of what annoys someone, the use of the word “legitimate” is subjective and undefined, and the statute itself is overly broad and wholly infringes on freedom of speech that is not unprotected speech.
In both cases, the Deputy City Attorneys have informed this Court that the case at issue is Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BQ033717, the California domestic violence order.
The City Attorney of Los Angeles initiated proceedings related to restraining order violations involving Robert Kory and Michelle Rice without any probable cause whatsoever. These individuals do not have restraining orders against Lynch. At no time has a court in California, Colorado, or anywhere in the United States (apart from these and related proceedings where fraudulent domestic violence related orders temporarily issued) obtained jurisdiction over Robert Kory and Michelle Rice and issued restraining orders against Lynch on their behalf. Robert Kory and Michelle Rice do not have standing as the protected party Leonard Cohen. Their former business premise was the sole property exclusion from the Colorado order due to the fact that Cohen had an office there. It is obviously questionable if a Colorado Court even had authority to include a California property in an order. The alleged enforcement jurisdiction of a California court, which is what the prosecutor is arguing she has although the California domestic violence order is not the Colorado order, does not permit this Court to extend standing, jurisdiction and/or protections to parties who are not the protected party. That would require an application for a new order, service of documents upon Lynch, a meaningful opportunity to be heard, and actual findings based on some indeterminable standard. The sole protected party in the Colorado proceeding was and remains now deceased singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. That is easily discernible by merely reviewing the caption of the Colorado restraining order. There is one protected party: Leonard Cohen. Therefore, the decision to charge Lynch with violations of a restraining order as they relate to Robert Kory and Michelle Rice is malicious, vindictive, and outrageous governmental conduct. Furthermore, at no time did Lynch harass, annoy, or engage in anything other than legitimate conduct with all of Leonard Cohen’s attorneys of record. An army of lawyers has felt completely free to communicate with Lynch, encourage others (such as Stephen Gianelli to harass Lynch while blind copying them), as they see fit and have willingly, knowingly and intentionally done so since October 2004 through the present. There cannot be one set of standards for one set of attorneys of record and another for Lynch. Furthermore, Lynch is not the party harassing anyone. She is the victim of outrageous criminal harassment that is obviously highly coordinated and relates to Leonard Cohen, IRS and federal tax matters, and Phil Spector. Leonard Cohen’s army of lawyers, ambulance chasers really, also feel entirely comfortable submitting a voluminous and constant stream of perjured and fraudulent legal pleadings to this and other courts. They understand that their conduct is likely perceived as “litigation protected” and the court system is incapable of vacating anything. Lynch has every right to communicate with attorneys of record and that issue is furthermore specifically carved out in the Colorado order that the prosecution in this case wrongly insists IS the California order. As an intelligent attorney recently informed Lynch – “tell the lawyers to apply for their own restraining orders rather than attempting to piggyback onto Leonard Cohen’s when they are not a part of that order” which is now essentially null and void due to Leonard Cohen’s death on November 7, 2016. The protected party no longer exists. Additionally, Leonard Cohen is now permanently domiciled in a Canadian cemetery and, for all intents and purposes, has now permanently abandoned his green card. This creates very serious jurisdictional issues apart from those Lynch has raised to date in these proceedings. The prosecutors have no probable cause to conclude that a restraining order exists with respect to either Kory and/or Rice. The prosecutors have no probable cause to conclude that any of Lynch’s communications or the content of her speech itself are not legitimate, not made in good faith, and/or are not litigation protected communications that involve communications to IRS, FBI, DOJ, Treasury, ICE, FTB, Senate Judiciary, and other authorities. See Kelley Lynch’s Section 1385 Motion, and all declarations and exhibits, incorporated herein by reference.
The City Attorney’s prosecutors, and in particular Sandra Jo Streeter, have abused their authority. The overwhelming “unfairness” of their conduct – rather than the likelihood that one day there will be a remote possibility that an erroneous, accidental issue of fairness will find its way into these proceedings – is at issue in this case. Due to the prosecution’s past and ongoing abuse of their authorities, one must draw the conclusion that the prosecutorial misconduct violated and continues to violate defendant’s constitutional rights. The conflicts of interest are substantial and grave. The situation demands a remedy. The relief granted for the egregious conflicts, prosecutorial misconduct, irreparable harm, and grave prejudice to Lynch should redress the harm suffered by her rather than merely send the government a so-called message about the impropriety of its conduct.
(a)(1) Notice of a motion to disqualify a district attorney from performing an authorized duty shall be served on the district attorney and the Attorney General at least 10 court days before the motion is heard. The notice of motion shall contain a statement of the facts setting forth the grounds for the claimed disqualification and the legal authorities relied upon by the moving party and shall be supported by affidavits of witnesses who are competent to testify to the facts set forth in the affidavit. The district attorney or the Attorney General, or both, may file affidavits in opposition to the motion and may appear at the hearing on the motion and may file with the court hearing the motion a written opinion on the disqualification issue. The judge shall review the affidavits and determine whether or not an evidentiary hearing is necessary. The motion may not be granted unless the evidence shows that a conflict of interest exists that would render it unlikely that the defendant would receive a fair trial. An order recusing the district attorney from any proceeding may be reviewed by extraordinary writ or may be appealed by the district attorney or the Attorney General. The order recusing the district attorney shall be stayed pending any review authorized by this section. If the motion is brought at or before the preliminary hearing, it may not be renewed in the trial court on the basis of facts that were raised or could have been raised at the time of the original motion.
As noted in People v. Lopez (1984) 155 Cal.App.3d 813, 824], the statute refers simply to a “conflict of interest”; it does not explicitly require an “actual” conflict, nor does it explicitly exclude “apparent” conflicts. Ibid. On the other hand, the statute allows disqualification only when a conflict “renders it unlikely that the defendant would receive a fair trial,” (§ 1424) whereas Greer allowed disqualification even when the conflict might merely “appear to affect” the prosecutor's fairness. We considered and resolved these interpretive questions regarding section 1424 in People v. Conner, supra, 34 Cal.3d 141 . . . . Recognizing the standard of section 1424 differed from that articulated in Greer, we nonetheless concluded that the statute “contemplates both ‘actual’ and ‘apparent’ conflict when the presence of either renders it unlikely that defendant will receive a fair trial.” (34 Cal.3d at p. 147.) The distinction between actual and apparent conflict is “less crucial” under the statute, we explained, because of the “additional statutory requirement” that the conflict must “render it unlikely that the defendant would receive a fair trial.” Ibid. We held that a “conflict,” for purposes of section 1424, “exists whenever the circumstances of a case evidence a reasonable possibility that the DA's office may not exercise its discretionary function in an evenhanded manner.” Thus, there is no need to determine whether a conflict is ‘actual’ or only gives an ‘appearance’ of conflict.” (34 Cal.3d at p. 148.) But however the conflict is characterized, it warrants recusal only if “so grave as to render it unlikely that defendant will receive fair treatment during all portions of the criminal proceedings.” Ibid. Conner establishes that, whether the prosecutor’s conflict is characterized as actual or only apparent, the potential for prejudice to the defendant — the likelihood that the defendant will not receive a fair trial — must be real, not merely apparent, and must rise to the level of a likelihood of unfairness. Thus section 1424, unlike the Greer standard, does not allow disqualification merely because the district attorney's further participation in the prosecution would be unseemly, would appear improper, or would tend to reduce public confidence in the impartiality and integrity of the criminal justice system. Id. at 591-592.
In other words, a “conflict” arises whenever there is evidence of a “reasonable possibility” that the prosecutor’s office, in this case the City Attorney, may not act in an “evenhanded” manner. Therefore, “there is no need to determine whether a conflict is ‘actual,’ or only gives an ‘appearance’ of conflict.” People v. Conner, (1983) 34 Cal.3d 141, 193. Conner articulated that a prosecutorial office is obligated not only to prosecute with vigor, but also to seek justice. This theme was underscored almost half a century ago by the United States Supreme court in Berger v. United States, (1935) 295 U.S. 78, 88.
Prosecutorial misconduct is defined as the use of deceptive or reprehensible methods to attempt to persuade either the court or the jury. People v. Hill (1998) 17 Cal.4th 800, 819; People v. Espinosa (1992) 3 Cal.4th 806, 820; People v. Pitts (1990) 223 Cal.App.3d 606, 691.
When alleging misconduct, a defendant need not make a showing that the prosecutor acted in bad faith. People v. Benson (1990) 52 Cal.3d 754, 793. Thus, the California Supreme Court has noted that the term “prosecutorial misconduct” is somewhat of a misnomer in that “it suggests a prosecutor must act with a culpable state of mind. A more apt description ... is prosecutorial error.” People v. Hill, supra, 17 Cal.4th at p. 823, fn. 1. Lynch believes the title is essentially erroneous and the phrases “prosecutorial misconduct” and “prosecutorial error” address identical conduct.
Prosecutors are held to an elevated standard of conduct to that imposed on other attorneys because of the unique function they perform in representing the interests, and in exercising the sovereign power, of the state. People v. Kelley (1977) 75 Cal.App.3d 672, 690. As the United States Supreme Court has noted, the prosecutor represents “a sovereignty whose obligation to govern impartially is as compelling as its obligation to govern at all; and whose interest, therefore, in a criminal prosecution is not that it shall win a case, but that justice shall be done.” Berger v. United States (1935) 295 U.S. 78, 88 [55 S.Ct. 629, 633; 79 L.Ed. 1314, 1321].
There is no singular remedy available to redress the harm caused by prosecutorial violations of a defendant’s constitutional rights. The United States Supreme Court has noted that “the remedy in the criminal proceeding is limited to denying the prosecution the fruits of its transgression.” United States v. Morrison, 449 U.S. 361, 366 (1981); see also United States v. Lin Lyn Trading, Ltd., 149 F.3d 1112, 1118 (10th Cir. 1998) (“The district court did not adequately explain why less extreme sanctions [than dismissal of the indictment] would not suffice to protect the defendants’ rights. Under these circumstances, suppression of all evidence . . . would appear to be an adequate remedy.”).
For the aforementioned reasons, the entire Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office must be recused or, in the alternative, the Family Violence Unit must be recused. Another remedy would be to dismiss the charges in their entirety and prohibit the City Attorney from relitigating these issues. See Exhibit A (declaration of Kelley Lynch); Exhibit B (declaration of Paulette Brandt); and, Exhibit C (summary of the conflicts and misconduct to date), attached hereto and made a part hereof.
The entire prosecutorial office of the district attorney should not be recused in the absence of some substantial reason related to the proper administration of criminal justice.” People ex rel. Younger v. Superior Court (1978) 86 Cal.App.3d 180, 204 . . .; see also People v. Merritt  19 Cal.App.4th  at pp. 1578-1579, quoting People v. Hernandez (1991) 235 Cal.App.3d 674, 679-680.) Lynch is also not unaware of the drastic consequences of the conflicts and misconduct on the part of the City Attorney of Los Angeles. This conduct has irreparably harmed and prejudiced Lynch. In fact, as of this date, Lynch is unable to obtain meaningful employment due to this unconscionable situation.
As another court stated, “The recusal of an entire prosecutorial office is a serious step, imposing a substantial burden on the People, and the Legislature and courts may reasonably insist upon a showing that such a step is necessary to assure a fair trial.” People v. Hamilton (1989) 48 Cal.3d 1142, 1156. “It is a disfavored remedy that should not be applied unless justified by a substantial reason related to the proper administration of justice. The showing of conflict of interest necessary to justify so drastic a remedy must be especially persuasive.” Millsap v. Superior Court,  70 Cal.App.4th  at p. 201.) Indeed, one court has indicated that there must be “no other alternative available but to recuse the entire district attorney's office.” Merritt, supra, 19 Cal.App.4th at p. 1579; People v. Cannedy (2009) , 176 Cal.App.4th 1474, 1482; see also People v. Gamache (2010) 48 Cal.4th 347.
But the mandate of section 1424 has often required the recusal of an entire prosecutorial office and should do so in the case at bar. See also, People v. Eubanks; Lewis v. Superior Court (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 1277; People v. Choi (2000) 80 Cal.App.4th 476; and People v. Conner, supra, 34 Cal.3d at pp. 148-149, upholding recusal of an entire office. The remedy in this instance is not drastic; it is called for.
Individuals who head a government law office occupy a unique position because they are ultimately responsible for making policy decisions that determine how the agency's resources and efforts will be used. Moreover, the attorneys who serve directly under them cannot be entirely insulated from those policy decisions, nor can they be freed from real or perceived concerns as to what their boss wants. The power to review, hire, and fire is a potent one. . . . There is another reason to require the disqualification of the conflicted head of a government law office. That reason arises from a compelling societal interest in preserving the integrity of the office of a city attorney. It is beyond dispute that the citizens of a city are entitled to a city attorney's office that unreservedly represents the city's best interests when it undertakes litigation. Public perception that a city attorney and his deputies might be influenced by the city attorney's previous representation of the client, at the expense of the best interests of the city, would insidiously undermine public confidence in the integrity of municipal government and its city attorney's office. Id. at 853-854.
If this Court decides not to permit a hearing on this motion, Lynch would like to request a standing objection for all proceedings as follows: Lynch objects to all prosecutorial misconduct; misstatement of facts; any and all violations of VAWA, Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Full Faith & Credit, due process of law, any and all potential constitutional rights she is afforded by the U.S. and California constitutions; and federal preemption should apply to all matters related to IRS and federal tax matters. In this way, Lynch will not have to interrupt so frequently and/or annoy the triers of fact.
For the foregoing reasons, defendant Kelley Lynch respectfully submits that the Court should grant an evidentiary hearing where the issues raised herein may be determined. The remedy Lynch has suggested is: 1) recuse the entire Office of the Los Angeles City Attorney, or 2) recuse the “Family Violence Unit,” or 3) dismiss the false charges in their entirety and prohibit the City Attorney from relitigating these issues.
