Discoveries begin on Sheriff's case

I went to the District Attorney’s (DA) Office in Santa Ana this afternoon to serve my first set of discoveries. All actions for or against the County of Orange, specifically the Sheriff's Department is handled by the DA's Office. Because the matter is being heard in the Superior Court, I cannot serve the documents myself. It has to be served by another individual of legal age and not a party to the lawsuit. For that purpose, I was accompanied by my friend Jim who served the document packet on the DA which included a “Request for Production of Documents and Things” as well as a “Request for Admissions”.

The procedures for Traffic Court varies widely from Civil Procedures that I was very apprehensive. A text on procedures for traffic court could not be found so I relied on Constitutional Law that guarantees my right to information from my accusers. I have a feeling the DA’s Office has never seen anything like this from a self-represented party before because I requested for the Psychological Profile, Performance and Disciplinary Records and other information from the citing deputies. I expect some sort of opposition from their office. There is a distinct chance that they might even ignore my request. This should be interesting.

ROBERT pleads not guilty

I appeared in traffic court at the Harbor Justice Center - Laguna Hills yesterday. The court was presided by Judge Lyle Robertson. I wasn’t clear about the procedures for traffic court as it varies from civil procedure but knew that I was going to plead not guilty to all the charges from two different citations. Usually, a bail has to be paid before a traffic matter goes to trial. One alternative is to spend time in jail. That way the judge fulfills his statute requirements. I was ready to do just that because I didn’t have money to post bail so I took the bus just in case I had to spend time in County Jail. Fortunately, Judge Robertson did not require me to post bail and set my cases for trial on two different days – the 17th and 18th of June 2009. One ticket would have required a bail of $238.50 and the other $1071.00.

This demonstrates the inefficiency of the court system as both tickets could be consolidated. Both cited CA Vehicle Code (CVC) 4000 - Expired Registration. It can be said that it has common questions of law, fact and evidence. The clerk told me that they do this because the scheduling system uses the deputy’s last name (first letter of the surname), which didn’t make sense to me. 

Before I left, I took a couple of “Subpoena Forms” from the clerk and will be sending requests for production of documents and begin full discoveries against the Orange County Sheriff’s Department. This will be the precursor to a full-blown federal case that I am preparing.

That was when the wheelin’ and dealin’ started. I stared at the middle of the full-grown pine tree and motioned like I saw something horrible – almost ghostly. “Oh no, not that”, I said to her. “If there is anything that I am allergic to it’s the bee sting. When I was a child, my arm got stung by a bee while playing at the school playground. It didn’t take very long for it to balloon into the shape of a whale. For a couple of days after that, I had a little racket going at my school. I snuck out one of my Mom’s Tupperwares and filed it up with water. I placed my arm in it and whenever I folded my arms up it was like looking at a whale kicking it’s tail out of the water. It was actually pretty cool. I had people lining up in the bathroom at my school paying 10 cents each. It was a crude and an early example of pay-per-view. I called the show “The Whale Boy Extravaganza”.
 
She looked up and said. “Where is that beehive that my little tropical man is so afraid of?” I pointed at the dark inverted conical shadow in the middle of the tree. She took off her eyeglasses and smiled at me. “If I didn’t know you well, I would think that you were actually trying to wiggle out of a dare. That is not a beehive, that’s a little ol’ pinecone”. “It is?”, I asked smiling back at her. “Look how big that pinecone is. That things is huge”, I said.
 
My mind was going a hundred miles an hour at this point. Not 10, not 20 not 30 but 100 MPH – three digits. Things were getting randier by the moment. A decision had to be made quick because I had to get out of that situation. So, I tried to distract her. “Do you know Muhammad Ali?”, he was the guy who said, I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.” He was the guy who tried to pull Howard Cosell’s wig on national television and expose his balled head. Do you know him?” She shook her head no. “We’ll, do you know Mike Tyson, then? He was the guy who bit off Evander Holyfield’s ear in the middle of the boxing ring at the MGM in Las Vegas.”
 
She wasn’t budging. Instead, she pointed to another tree and said, “We are not leaving until you show me that you can climb a tree for me, like you said.” At this point the sun was coming down and if I didn’t we’d be camping out there and pretty soon we’d be in a bad situation. There were three words that described what happened next. It was “Up, Down, Porcupine”. It seemed like every dry and hardened needle from that tree got in on the action and just let me have it. By the time I got down, I was like a porcupine in the silhouette of a man.
 
The moral of the story is - Do not say anything unless you are prepared to prove it.

RJ is now on Facebook

From the very beginning, we wanted to find the best way to open up our blog to comments. We looked at all sorts of ideas including having the option of readers commenting directly on the blog page. However, because we wanted to maintain an uncluttered look, we decided against that option. But finally, after a worthwhile search, we decided to create a Facebook Page for Robert’s Justice.

Facebook is one of the most popular networking tools available today. We want to make sure that both sides of any issue that Robert’s Justice advocates for or against is open to opposing views and arguments. I encourage even our opposition, legal or otherwise, to any and all lawsuits or actions we are engaged in, to participate in our network. Just because we may be opponents today doesn’t mean that we cannot be friends in the future. We want even our opponents to be our fans. 

To participate, you will have to establish a Facebook account. If you are already a member of Facebook, we would be grateful if you could invite your friends, colleagues and family to become a part of our network. If not, at least view the Facebook site and see its many benefits.

All the best,

Looking for a car bandit

A lady went to fill up her car with gas. She left to pay and when she came back she discovered that her car was gone. She left her keys in the car. The Police for the City of Orange, CA is now looking for a silver 2004 Ford Mustang with license plate 5FDM063.

This is just a note of advise to our readers. Times are very tough these days. There have been reports of individuals puncturing people's gas tanks just to steal gasoline. It’s definitely easier to do that if you leave the keys in your car. Gasoline bandits call that “a big bonus”. They end up with both your gas and your car at the same time. Although, in this case she didn't get a chance to put any gas yet. 

Do not make it easy, folks.

Do you feel lucky, Punk?

Napoleon once said, “Do not be so affixed to your goal that you are not able to see what is in front of you”.
 
The incident of a few days ago – the Assault in Laguna Niguel – required a major revision of my plans. I had already committed to run the “Rock & Roll Marathon” at the end of this month. But, in all honesty, I have woefully under-trained for that event. When I first made the plans to run the marathon I also predicted that I would be living in a house by now. There are many things you have to do when you are preparing for a marathon including training hard, having proper nutrition and recovering from your work-outs. The last 14 miler I did, I stopped so many times that I can tell there is simply no way that I could do a marathon under 5 hours. Living in a car has many disadvantages and critically essential to marathon training is a good cycle of sleep, rest/recovery and nutrition. Road Housing means that you have no bed in which to sleep in. I’ve tried sleeping in the car during the middle of the day and found the task impossible. It is bright and noisy at just about any parking lot during the day. Furthermore, because you don’t have a refrigerator, you are at the mercy of fast food restaurants. I can’t remember the last time I had a fresh plate of homemade pasta. So the goal of doing 26.2 miles will have to be pushed back towards the end of the year, if at all. To take it’s place will be another and arguably more audacious goal.
 
The new goal is to train for and defeat the assailant, Matthew, in a 4-round boxing match. Training for a fight will require that I taper on my runs to no more than 4 miles. Also, I’ll have to bring my weight up a little bit. Based on the pictures of the Mathew, he will probably have a problem getting down to my ideal fighting weight of less than 140 pounds. So, I’ve decided to fight him at Welterweight, which is between 140-147 lbs. just so I can take away all his excuses. It will be 4-rounds “Las Vegas Rules” with 3 knock down rule in effect. The venue will be decided at a later date.
 
That’s how you take care of punks like this guy. You call them out in a very public way. Street fights usually ends with the fight either being broken up or, like in his case, someone runs away. I want to see what this guy is made of. There is no better way to do that than to put him under the hot lights of a boxing ring. You either have it or you don’t. Just because he picked the wrong guy to mess with, he’ll have a criminal trial, a civil trial and a boxing fight to defend against. He’s surely now realizing that was a real stupid mistake.
 
You can run but you can’t hide, Punk!

RJ is Back!

That is why my baby, my 12” G4 laptop, never leaves my side even for a quick trip to the bathroom. The recent electrical cord incident showed me how invaluable a tool it is for my work. My workstyle depends on my laptop so much that not having access to it brought my creative output to a screeching halt. I tried to continue my work using the public computers at the Aliso Viejo Library and it wasn’t the same because I had to sit there for an entire session. When working, I usually walk around and engage all my senses just to keep it stimulated. Some of the best creative sessions I’ve had was at a place where there is much sensory input like a Price Club - hearing the bustle of business, touching the merchandise, seeing the colorful displays and sometimes tasting food samples all create a sensory concoction that kicks in my creative juices.
 
The last time I made an entry I wrote about the cord being repaired. Just this afternoon, I returned from a trip to Irvine and a visit with a gentleman referred to me by my friend Frank. It turns out that this gentleman used to work for the Russian Space Program. Using parts from two different cords, he was able to Frankenstein-rig one for me in 30 minutes. The Apple cord is not just any kind of cord. It has its own power supply and other gadgetry.
 
As for our friend Joe who first tried fixing the cord, it appears he was over-qualified for the task. I mentioned that he served in the US Navy. I wasn’t clear about his MOS (Military Occupational Specialty) but had a better idea when I received the cord back and it appeared roughed-up and softened up just a little. If it were a person, he or she would have been ready to spill the beans. Here are the facts: First, Joe was medically discharged from the US Navy. Second, the incident that caused the injury was in a hot spot in Iraq. Third, he was trying to apprehend a terrorist. Fourth, he has the tattoo of an operator. Given those facts, I think his experience with electricity is the variety that is now being debated in the highest places of our government.
 
We thank you for your help, Joe.
