On February 27th, 2012, while awaiting trial before 1udge Nash Holmes in 11 TR
26800, and in a private meeting with Reno City Attorney Allison Ormaas in one of the private
conference/meeting rooms outside the interior doors to the court room, RMC Marshal Harley
entered the room and purported to personally serve Coughlin a document in the appeal of the
eviction from Coughlin's former home law office, in CV11-03628, apparently at the direction of
Richard G. Hill, Esq., on behalf of his client Merliss (the landlord, whom all three of the appointed
defenders provided by the RMC to Coughlin refused to subpoena, apparently because it would cut
into their $7K fee from the RMC and because of an apparent desire to torpedo Coughlin's defense,
despite Merliss being a material witness. Further, it is believed OFficer Carter and Sargent Lopez
were subpoened by the City, and perhaps by Coughlin, though a continuance was denied upon their
faling to appear). Washoe County Sheriff's Deputy 1ohn Machen filed a false Affidavit of Service on
November 7th, 2011, in R1C Rev2011-001708 alleging to have "personally served" Coughlin at the
time the WCSO's Deputy Machen effectuated the lockout on November 1st, 2011 at 4:30 pm (by
which time the ORders of October 25th and October 27th, 2011 made exhibits in this Trial by the
City had become stale, invalid, perhaps void, etc. given, as admitted to, apparently, by both the

R1C's Chief Civil Clerk/Supervisor Karen Stancil (to be clear, I mean this only to the extent that Ms.
Stancil has represented to the undersigned the "usual custom and practice" of the R1C is to fax over
Orders such as those mentioned above to the WCSO the day they are file stamped, or at the latest by
the next day...plus Baker testified, apprently to receipt of the ORder by the WCSO on October 28th,
2011...all making the WCSO's "receipt" of the Orders outside the statutorily dictate that the lockout
occur "within 24 hours" thereof under NRS 40.253. Regardless, back to RMC Marshal Harley
(whom RMC 1udge Nash Holmes, in her March 12, 2012 rendition of some Order finding Coughlin
guilty of every RPD in the book, incident to a traffic citation matter tha 1udge Nash Holmes had
transmogrified into a hearing before the NNDB, apparently (see In Re Kunstler), 1udge Nash Holmes
alleged that Marshal Harley, apparently, followed Coughlin into the bathroom during the restroom
break just prior to 1udge Nash Holmes incarcerating Coughlin, whereup Harley apparently played
peeping tom on Coughlin the bathroom stall and averred to 1udge Nash Homes that Coughlin
"dissassembled his smart phone" (Martin Crowley is laughing somewhere)...the thing is, "summary
contempt" (even "misdemeanor summary criminal contempt", ie, some law 1udge Nash Holmes
appears to have legislated on the spot, and which does not require her to comply with the dictates of
NRS 189.010-060, as she refuses to transmit the record and order the production o the transcript
(and its illegal for the RMC to force criminal indigents to pay Pam Longoni, and only Pam Longoni,
ANYTHING, up front, in some application of a civil statute related thereto. Regardless, 1udge Nash
Holmes "summary criminal contempt" Orders relies upon allegations of conduct allegedly
committed OUTSIDE the presence of the Court, so whichever Marshal went playing peepin' Tom on
Coughlin in a restroom stall needs to sign their name on an Affidavit and stand behind it like a
grown up rather than right some insipid letter to the State Bar of Nevada criticizing Coughlin's
fashion sense, then proceeding to lie and lie and lie about Coughlin whilst also demonstrating a

distrubing extent to which the City of Reno Marshals behave as a coordinated crew of intimidators
and coerces towards the citizens of Reno attempting to access justice, and to which these Marshals
themselves obstruct justice on a regular basis. Right in line with that behavior was that
demonstrated by RMC Marshal Harley in barging into a plea bargaining session between City
Attorney Ormaas and Coughlin and undertaking the legally questionable task (but certainly an
intimidating, coercive, and inappropriate action by Harley) of "personally serving" Coughlin and
ORder to Show Cause in CV11-03628 (despite Coughlin already having been served it via his
electronic filer status, something Richard HIll and Casey Baker, ESq. knew full well) . Harley
personally served Coughlin some document, then WCSO Machen filed an Affidavit of Service on 3 8
12 saying he himself personally served Coughlin. The RMC puts peopel in jail for less than that
every single day. Then Harley got real uncomfortable with Coughlin asking him questions related to
the propriety of what Harley just did. Then Harley starts whispering in City Attorne Ormaas's ear
during the trial in 11 TR 26800, held after that on the same day, despite the RMC, apparently, in
light of 1udge Nash Holmes March 14, 2012 letter/grievance against Coughlin to the SBN indications
therein, being aware that an Order For Competency Evaluation of Coughlin was entered at 1:31pm
on 2/27/12 in RCR2012-065630, as 1udge Nash Holmes admits to communications with the WCPD
regarding Coughlin. The RMC Marshals, especially Marshal Menzel like to bark menacingly at
defendnats that they have to sign some acceptance of service or waiver of service of various
documents in some apparent effort to cost cut postage expenses of the RMC in affording others due
process. But worse than that is Marshal Harley taking it upon himself to personally serve Coughlin
documents on behalf of Richard G. HIll, Esq. especially where RPD Sargent Tarter came to testify
that day about the 3 traffic citations he issued for Hill against Coughlin, and Tarter put his feet up on
Judge Nash Holmes bench (ie, where the Judge might set her gavel) while the RMC staff served

Sargent Tarter bottled water. Avoding an appearance of impartiality or impropriety is a cannon or
something, some might say. This is true especially incident to a trial appearance related to 3
retaliatory traffic citations issued by the RPD after they told Coughlin to leave the sidewalk near
Hill's law Office, and where 1udge Nash Holmes told Coughlin she would "put you in jail if you say
Richard HIll's name one more time"... See some of the materials in Exhibit 1 that show Also,
there may be some clerk failure or misconduct where Michelle Purdy and or Lori Matheus appear to
have refused a filign by Coughlin on October 19th, 2011 which arguably could have functioned as a
Motion for STay in CV11-03051 - ZACH COUGHLIN VS. MATT MERLISS ET AL (D1) Filing
Date: Wednesday, October 19th, 2011 . And City Attorney allison Ormaas and Dan Wong both
told Coughlin the were not going to investigate, follow up on, notate, or in any way document the fact
that Coughlin repeated to them the exact words that RPD Officer Chris Carter said to Coughlin on
November 13th, 2011 when the following exchange occurred between Coughlin and RPD Officer
Carter after Carter subjected Coughlin to a custodial criminal trespass arrest where Hill and
Sargent Lopez both admit that nobody issued Coughlin a warning to leave the premises that day and
that the RPD did not identifiy themselves as law enforcement or issue a lawful order to leave to
Coughlin prior to landlord Merliss kicking in a "basement" door:
Coughlin: (speaking to RPD Officer Carter) Are you on Richard G. Hill's
payroll, too?
RPD Officer Chris Carter, 1r: "Yes, I am. Richard Hill pays me a lot of
money so I arrest who he says to arrest and I do what he says to do".
Officer Carter said it. I reported it. Period. Now the SBN's Patrick King has failed to subpoena
Marshal Harley or City Attorney Ormaas (maybe he is afraid they will start whispering in each
other's ears again during some hearing the SBN wants to violate Coughlin's due process rights in
holding on November 14th, 2012), and instead Pat King has listed his old friend and coworker from
the Attorney Generals Office to come testify at the hearing and also listed Marshal Coppa (instead of

RMC Marshal Harley to be perpetuating the fraud of WCSO Machen and the Rambo charlatan
litigation tactics, attempts at intimidation, and creation of the appearance of impropriety that
Richard HIll and Casey Baker cultivate so well in everything they do. Besides, why does Hill need

i also want to report a Trespass by Joel Durden, process server for Nevada Court Services on or about October 20th, 2011.
Mr. Durden and an associate from Nevada Court Services assaulted my law practice and trespassed behind the back gate
into the back yard to bang on back room windows. You guys felt it necessary to do a custodial arrest on me for trespass,
well, how about for them? See attached pleading. Casey Baker, Esq. reported the burglary of approx 12 12 11 to me in an
email on 12 14 11, see attached pleading.
Also, richard hill, esq. withheld my State of Nevada driver's license from November 15th, 2011 to November 22nd 2011 and
contributed to the false arrest against me for trespass from November 12, 2011, lying to Officer Carter and Lopez about
whether his office had sent me a bill for the full rental value of the property for November 2011. Officer Carter indicated that
Richard Hill, Esq. pays him a lot of money and therefore, Officer Carter arrests who Richard HIll says to and does what
Richard Hill tells him to do.

Laura Harrison, 22 slashed two tires on my vehicle. I believe her former name is Laura Petrone; she had a RMC court date
on 12 5 11, Dr. Assad's patient Christopher Ervin "Erin" Allaback, 37 years old,
http://www.whosarrested.com/nevada/washoe-county/reno/wcdc/205001-christopher-allaback
ruined my HTC G2 smartphone when he threw hot coffee on it an me, which was recorded on video, along with he verbal
admission that he did so throw hot coffee on me and the phone and that he meant to do so and was glad to have done so.
Additionally both of these individuals have verbally and physically threatened me and thrown harmful objects at me, with
Allaback chasing me up the stairs to me room, once with a 8 inch butcher/kitchen knife often assaulting and or battering even
breaking the lock to my door and the door itself on several occasions. Additionally Allaback and Harrison have thrown
anashtray at me that shattered against the sheetrock wall on the stairs to me room and left a 1 inch square divot in the wall,
which is also adorned over a 20 foot section with an enormous coffee stain from when he threw hot coffee on me. They
locked me out of my residence, admitting verbally to doing so (on tape I believe as well) on approximately 1/1/11 at midnight,
when the temperature was freezing, bragging that they had changed the deadbolt. They have denied me access to the
laundry washer and dryer I paid for the use of and thrown my property over the fence in the back of the house, including
expensive carpet and padding, and have further made threats to defame and or frame me for false crimes, and causing death
and or substantial bodily harm. Officer Stacey Gardner apparently faked an arrest of Allaback on approx 1 7 2012 and
refused to arrest Harrison. They have denied me access to my mailbox. I believe they put chewing gum in my dog's coat. I
don't enjoy reporting this but they have damaged my life, finances, business, transportation, and mail/communications
resources

Today, the light was shut off to yet another rental unit of mine, unit 29. The light to unit 45 is still shut off. I reported the light
being shut of to unit 29 to Dwayne Jakob minutes after it happened. Mr. Jakob refused to tell me how he felt I was in breach
of the rental agreement other than to indicate that he felt I failed to keep a door locked. He supported that assertion by
admitting that he attempted to unlawfully enter unit 45 by trying to open the door to it, which was closed. He admitted he was
unable to open the door (maybe it was locked?), but rejected any argument that the cause of his being unable to do so may
have been a lock.
I was assaulted on or about 6 5 12 by a member of your staff, Luke. I am attaching a video of the assault, but only a partial
video. Shortly after reporting this second ultra suspicious shut off of the light to one of my rentals, this same Luke attempted
to extort me into leaving the property by falsely accusing me of trying to break into his red and white truck. He claimed he
could tell from about 80 yards away that I was trying to break into this truck, despite our being on opposite sides of the truck.
That is a criminal threat to make a false police report and abuse process through encouraging a malicious prosecution. I may
have a video fo the entire incident, so he will be exposed as the liar that he is for alleging that I was trying to break into his
truck, part

on June 5, 2012, I was assaulted on or about 6 5 12 by a member Northwind Apartments staff, Luke. I am including or
attaching a video of the assault, but only a partial video. Shortly after reporting this second ultra suspicious shut off of the
light to one of my rentals, this same Luke attempted to extort me into leaving the property by falsely accusing me of trying to
break into his red and white truck. He claimed he could tell from about 80 yards away that I was trying to break into this truck,
despite our being on opposite sides of the truck. That is a criminal threat to make a false police report and abuse process
through encouraging a malicious prosecution. I may have a video fo the entire incident, so he will be exposed as the liar that
he is for alleging that I was trying to break into his truck, particularly if the video shows no such action taking place. I will let
he and you wonder whether or not I am bluffing about the video for now.
I am writing to complain about a violation of criminal law by NOrthwind staff. On at least two occasions your staff has
attempted to enter the unit I rent without permission. They attempted to open the door without knocking or otherwise
indicating they were about to seek entry. They have never been given permission to enter, nor will they receive such
permission at any time.

Please place a copy of this complaint of police harrassment by Officer Alan Weaver in his personnel file. I already spent 18
days in jail incident to his wrongful July 3rd, 2012 arrest in 12 cr 12420, and his and Sargent Dye's fraudulent and succesful
to have my bail raised impermissbly on July 5th, 2012. Further, please do the same for Sargent Oliver Miller and Ltn. Kevin
Brown as they threatened me with criminal trespass where I still had a valid lease at 1680 Sky Mountain Drive, Northwinds
Apartments. Now today, they are up to it again at Superior Mini Storage. Pursuant to an agreement of August 28th, 2012, I
am a sublesse to Derek Swanson, some might say, and have 30 days thereunder to use the facility, whereupon contractual
interpretation need be done as to whether that is a reoccuring monthly agreement/obligation. See Soldal v Cook County for
the proposition that it is a 42 USC Sec 1983 violation for OFficer Weaver to seek to play landlord tenant Judge. Weaver was
harrassing me again today and threatened to make another baseless custodial arrest of me, then subsequently returned to
Superior Storage in an attempt to influence another private citizens, similar to the Milan Krebs "distrubing the peace" arrest of
July 3rd, 2012, to sign another baseless criminal complaint at Weaver's urging. His lack of professionalism is appalling.
Further, he an Sargent Dye attempted to intimidate me as a witness, Dye finding me thirty minutes after midnight in a parking
lot the night before trial, Weaver by making menacing jestures in court the mornign of Trial. Superior and Matt and Ken Grant
admit to illegally locking out tenants for 14 years by disablign the gate code if rent not paid by the 10th day of the month,
which violates NRS 108, further if the disagree to the arrangment I have with Swanson, they need pursue a civil rememdy,
not have Officer Weaver embarass the force some more.

Matt Grant opened up my box of personal property and filmed it with her video camera despite my expressing my refusal to
allow her permission to do so. Violation of privacy, reported to RPD, did nothing but allow Alan Weaver and O. Miller to
harrass me some more and Welch to threaten to arrest me if I didn't not move my stuff right then.

aTY OF RENO, Plaintiff
l@cQprv Coughlin. Defendant
IN THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF THE CITY OF RENO
COUNTY OF WASHOE, STATE OF NEVADA
vs.
Dept 1110. 1, '/
...
Name (First, Mlddl .... !.ilst)
PO Box 3961. Reno. Nv. 89505
City, State, Zip
MOTIQN
Comes now the undersigned and here make the following request:
MOTION TO BE RELIEVE!;! AS CQVNSEL
This Motion is based on the following:
HENRY SOTELO. ESQ., has ZACHARY COUOHUN since August 13, 2() 12, and has petformed
legal services in that regard. Circumstances have developed which have led to the breakdown of
communications between Attorney and the Client, a difference of opinion and deterioration of the
Attorney/Client relationship. Nevada Supreme Omrt, Rule 46 provides:
The attorney in an action or special proceeding may be changed at any time before .judgment
or final determination us follows:
1. Upon consent oCthe attorney, approved by the client.
2. thereof O!l .. or thc client.
After judgment or fina! determination, an attorney may withdraw lIS attorney ofrccord at any
time upon the attorney's filing a withdrawal, with or without the client's consent.
(emphasis added). HENRY SOTELO, ESQ., moves this Court to issue an Order allowing the withdrawal of
counsel. There has not yct been a final determination in this case, therefore, the Court's permission is
necessary. Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct 1.16(b)
(0) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer may withdraw fi'om representing a client if
(I) Withdrawal cnn be accomplished without material adverse effect on lb, interests of the
client;
(2) The client persists in a COIUlle of action involving the lawyer's serviccs that the lawyer
rea.wnably believes is criminal or fraudulent;
(3) The cliem bas used the lawyer's services to perpetrate a crime or fraud;
(4) A client insists upon taking action that the: Imvyer considers 1Y!pugmmt or with w!tich
tlte lawyer Itas fu "Jame1<tai difu.greement;
lO/Ol/l2 09: 20Al! HP LASERJET FAX p.03
(5) The client mils substantially to fulftll an obligation to the lawyer regarding the lawyer's
services and has been given rea!lonable warning that the lawyer will withdraw unless the
obligation is thlfilled;
(6) The representation will result in an unreasonable financial burden on the lawyer or has
been rendered unreasonably difficult by the client; or
(7) Other good cause for withdrawal exists.
(emphasis added)
HENRY SOTELO, ESQ., SI.at0s sufficient ["ea.'IOIl;; .""ist for permitting HENRY SOTELO, ESQ., to w;thdr"w
from representation at this time.
HENRY SOTELO, ESQ, asserts it would be impossible for him to provide and competent
representation for ZACHAR Y COUGHLIN as the client insists upon taking a course of action that the lawyer
considers repugnant and with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement, In addition. ZACHARY
COUGHLIN and HENRY SOTELO, ESQ. are unable to engage in the type of open communication thaI would
be helpful in providing a reasonable chance of proper representation by HENRY SOTELO, ESQ.
Furthermore. as the case in Reno Municipal Court now stands, ZACriAR Y COUGHLIN is being charged with
a minor vehicle traffic violation: Unsecured Load, RMC 6.14,.130, The more serious charges ofTrcspassing
and Disturbing the Peace have been dismissed by the City Al10mey at the last trial date on U23f2012. Thus,
since ZACHARY COUGHLIN is not facing any jail time for the minor traffic violation, a COURT
APPOINTED Legal Defender is not necessary.
Finally, ZACHARY COUGHLIN will not be adversely all'ecled by this withdraw, as his no new trial date has
been reset, pending a Competency Hearing in Reno Justice Court on October 15, 2012. This allows
ZACHARY COUGHLIN enough time to retain new legal counsel.
Accordingly, HENRY SOTELO, ESQ., requests an order from this Court permitting him to immediately
withdraw from legal representation of ZACHARY COUGHLIN, This Motion is not made for the purposes of
delay. Deputy City Attorney Brian Sooudi has been notified ofthis Motion and has NO OBJECTION to the
above request
, declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

10 MOTION FOR LEAVE OF COURT TO AMEND COMPLAINT
11 COMES NOW, the State of Nevada, by and through RICHARD A.
12 GAMMICK, District Attorney of Washoe County, and ZACH YOUNG, Deputy
13 Di strict Attorney, and moves this Honorable Court for an Order
14 granting the State's Motion for Leave of Court to Amend Complaint.
15 This Mo tion is based upon the following Points and Authorities, all
16 papers and pleadings on file herein, and any oral arguments to be
17 presented to this Court.
18 POINTS AND AUTHORITIES
13 I. STATEMENT OF THE CASE
20 Zachary Barker Coughlin (hereinafter "the Defendant") is
21 charged with Use of the 911 Emergency System When No Actual or
22 Perceived Emergency Exists, a gross misdemeanor in violation of NRS
23 207.245 . To the charge, the Defendant has pled not guilty; after
24 several continuances, the matter is currently set for a status
25 hearing on August 6, 201 2, at which time no witnesses will be
26 III
(
1 present.
'
The State now seeks to amend the charge to a misdemeanor
2 offense of Resisting, Delaying, or Obstructing a Public Officer in
3 violation of NRS 199 . 280(3) . See Proposed Amended Complaint, Attached
4 Hereto as Exhibit 1.
5 I I. ARGUMENT

11
12
13
14
15
16
17
A court may, in its discretion, allow for an amendment to a
charging document upon proper motion. Viray v. State, 121 Nev. 159,
162 (2005). NRS 173.095 ( 1 ) provides:
"The court may permit an indictment or information to be
amended at any time before verdict or finding if no
additional or different offense is charged and if
substantial rights of the defendant are not prejudiced . "
In the instant matter, the State seeks to amend the charge
to a misdemeanor, thereby resolving the case at the Justice Court
level. The proposed charge essentially alleges the same misconduct as
was alleged in the original charge. The State does this in the
interests of justice, and such is permissible based on the State's
vested discretion in charging cases. See Stromberg v . State, 125 Nev.
18 1, 6 ( 2009) (acknowledging that "a prosecutor has broad discretion in
19 charging a defendant" and that "so long as the prosecutor has
20
probable cause to believe that the accused committed an offense
21
defined by statute, the decision whether or not to prosecute, and
22
what charge to file or bring before a grand jury, generally rests
23
entirely 1n his discretion" ) .
24
III
25
26
Of note, the State has not requested any of the continuances in this matter.

1 Further, such an ame ndment does not prejudice the
2 Defendant, as under the proposed amended charge, he would be subject
3 only to criminal punishment of a mi sdemeanor rather than the harsher
4 potential sentence of the original charge, which is a gross
5 mi sdemeanor. Finally, this proposed amendment is timely and being
6 made well in advance of trial - in fact, the only hearing currently
7 set in this matter is a hearing without witnesses.
8 III. CONCLUSI ON
9 The State hereby respectfully requests that this Court grant its
10 Motion for Leave of Court to Amend Complaint, so that this matter can
11 proceed to trial as a misdemeanor .

Reno \lunicipaJ Court:md Its :-"Imhals; Motion for New Trial and to Alter or
Summary Contempt Order." rhe: document purported to appe:llthis court's Order hole! ing
him in direct criminal contempt. It conwined a portion of one sentence on page seeking l
continuJnce oftod:lY's hearing, but no further discussion orthat topic. It also mentioned
being a "tolling" motion in:m apparent afterthought. It did not address most of the oth.:r
topics li sted in the caption. InstcJd, the: document contained rambling references to his
and this court's; his father', football career in college; dozens of of string
citati ons t:lken off Ihe internet; documents rrom a prisoner online site; un article about a
" police stJte;" an article about Discovery; a website: printout showing a police or'fkcr ' s salJry:
and copy of court docwnents tram a District of Columbia case.
It was a di sjointed regurgitation of case law citations from a legal research onl ine sit e
with liille reference to, or argument about, the Cacts o f his instant SlIl p" Irarti c
case. The uocum"nt was an incoherent .nd Jemonstration ofwhJt might once have

another massive t:'L'(-filing to Reno Municipal Court, This time it was a document that was
tile-stamped by the clerk on 12, 2012 at 8: 12 a.m. This second 2lS-page document
purported to be yet another motion in this case entitled "Motion to Return Cell Phones;
Motion to Set Aside Summary Contempt Order; and Notice of Appeal of Summary Contempt
Order." With scant discussion of, or relevance to, the above-captioned malter, said document
mostly argues against Judge Howard in a Department 4 case and again contains more than
200 pages of string kgal citations; lyrics to rocks songs; Mr. Coughl in's personal family
history; Ji "cussion o f an "ViCl ioll and contempt case; disjoinkd legal citat ions,
and other non"ensical matters that have no apparent relevance to his traffic citati on el se.

Whether or not there are medical reasons to \Ir. Coughlin's actions is not for
this court to decide. He has become nothing les! than a vexatious litigant to Reno \Iunicipal
Court due to his disruptive, bizarre and irnlional methods and practices that go
beyond the pale of anything th:lt is civil, ethical, professional or competent. Gaud cause
appearing therefore, the court orders as follows:
IT IS ORDERED thai this matter is continued, and all proceedings relating thereto are
tolled, until further order of this court, "'hile the matter of attorney Zachary Barker Cou!!hlin

1 3. Nevada Building Industries was hired by the law ofce of Richard G. Hill,
2 Ld. to clean out the property lef behind at 121 River Rock, Reno, Nevada afer the most-
3 recent tenant was evicted.
4 4. On Thursday, Januar 12, 2012, we began work.
5 5. Early that afernoon, as I was taking the frst load of debris to the Waste
6 Management transfer station, I was fagged down by Zach Coughlin. At frst I thought it
7 was a citizen trying to alert me that debris was falling out of the truck, so I stopped. The
8 driver approached me. I immediately recognized Mr. Coughlin from a previous encounter
9 with him at the River Rock property, and from having seen him in court.
10 6. Mr. Coughlin was very confrontational. He accused me of stealing his
11 things. He climbed on my vehicle. He threatened to sue me if I disposed of my load at the
12 transfer station. He tried to prevent me from doing so by, among other things, standing in
13 the street in front of my truck.
14 7. Mr. Coughlin threatened to call the police. I told him that if he didn't call
15 them, I would. I then called Mr. Hill. Mr. Hill told me to have Mr. Coughlin call him (Mr.
16 Hill) to discuss terms to release the load in my truck to Mr. Coughlin. Mr. Coughlin said
17 he did not have a cell phone. I then proceeded to the transfer station, but not without being
18 harassed along the way by Mr. Coughlin.
19 8. Wen I arrived at the transfer station, Mr. Coughlin jumped in front of my
20 truck to stop me from entering the transfer station building. He produced a cell phone and
21 was talking to somebody, who I later learned was a female Sergeant with the Reno Police
22 Department. Coughlin was falsely screaming that I was running over him. He physically
23 prevented me from proceeding. The police arrived and I called Mr. Hill to come to the
24 transfer station. Mr. Hill arrived at the transfer station a short time later. Afer Mr. Hill
25 showed some paperwork to the police oficer, I was allowed to proceed with dumping my
26 load at the transfer station.

3. My ofce represents the respondent, Dr. Matthew Merliss, in this matter.
4. In accordance with the Reno Justice Court's order of December 21, 2011,
3 on Thursday, December 22, 2011, Mr. Coughlin was given fll run of the River Rock
4 property, starting at 9:00 a.m. At about noon that day, he sent an email to the efect that
5 because he had appealed the justice court's order, he felt himself entitled to resume living
6 in the property and would not leave. Later that day, Judge Sferrazza sent out an email that
7 Coughlin's stay had been denied. When we arrived at 5:00 p.m. to lock the property up, it
8 was apparent that Mr. Coughlin had done virtually nothing to remove any possessions. This
9 is relevant to the order to show cause, because it shows that Coughlin was more interested
10 in confrontation that in actually getting his possessions out of the house.
11 5. On Friday, December 23, 2011, we unlocked the house at 9:00 a.m. as
12 ordered. We overlooked the chain on the back gate. There was nobody at the house when
13 we were there.
14 At approximately noon, my staf informed me that an enraged Mr. Coughlin
15 had called the ofce screaming that he could not get in the back yard. When I fnished the
16 meeting I was in, I immediately went over and unlocked the back gate.
17 Coughlin had a small crew. He charged at me and made physical contact. He
18 was enraged. We lef.
19 When we returned at 5:00 p.m., Mr. Coughlin was screaming and yelling
20 obscenities. He drove of in a small U -Haul. His crew remained. We walked the propert
21 with them. The inside.ground foor was mostly cleared of all but a big T. The basement
22 had been cleared somewhat, but there was still a lot of "junk. " We could not access the attic.
23 We went outside. I told Coughlin's crew they could remove anything and
24 everything outside, if they would only try to rehang the gate that Mr. Coughlin had taken
25 of the hinges before we could get over to unlock it. I told them I would lock the gates in the
26 morning.

When I returned the next day, Coughlin's crew had not taken much of what
had been outside the night before. I secured the backyard, and nothing was moved until the
events detailed herein.
6. On Thursday, January 12,2012, I met with Phil Stewart of Nevada Building
Industries at the River Rock property to make arrangements with him to remove and
dispose of the abandoned property left there by Mr. Coughlin. I then returned to my office.
7. Approximately four to five hours after returning to my office, I received a
telephone call from Mr. Stewart. Mr. Stewart informed me that Mr. Coughlin had flagged
him down near the Waste Management transfer station, where Mr. Stewart was attempting
to dump his first load of debris removed from the house that morning.
8. Mr. Stewart told me that Coughlin was accusing him (Mr. Stewart) of
stealing his things, threatening to sue Mr. Stewart, and generally trying to prevent Mr.
Stewart from disposing of those items by, among other things, standing in the street in front
of Mr. Stewart's truck. I told Mr. Stewart to have Mr. Coughlin call me, because I wanted
to try to negotiate terms to release the contents of the truck to Mr. Coughlin. Mr. Stewart
told me Mr. Coughlin said he did not have a cell phone.
9. Shortly thereafter, I received another call from Mr. Stewart. He was at the
transfer station. Mr. Coughlin had stopped him from entering. Mr. Coughlin had called the
police, and told them that Mr. Stewart had stolen his (Coughlin's) possessions, and that
they were in the truck.
10. I immediately drove to the transfer station. When I got there, Mr.
Coughlin was present, and being cordoned away by two Reno Police Department officers.
After I presented the police officers with the Reno Justice Court's December 21,2011 order,
and this court's January 11, 2012 order, Mr. Stewart was allowed to proceed. I then
returned to my office.
11. Approximately 15 minutes later, I received another call from Mr. Stewart,
who informed me that Mr. Coughlin was at the River Rock property. I immediately drove

facts nor procedural history unless doing so is necessary to this Court's determination.

1 NRCP 52(b) and NRCP 59
2 The object of Coughlin's Motion filed on January 30, 2012 appears to be this Court'
3 Order dated January 11, 2012. In that Order, this Court denied Coughlin's emergency reques
4 for a temporary restraining order. Coughlin made the request after Judge Sferrazza of RJ
5 entered an Order on December 21, 2011, in which he ordered: (1) Coughlin to pay $480.00 t
6 Merliss for storage of his personal property between November 1,2011 and November 16,2011;
7 and (2) Coughlin shall have access to the premises from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
8 December 22,2011 and December 23,2011 to remove his personal property.
9 Coughlin claims this Court's January 11, 2012 Order "is clearly inaccurate to the exten
lOis purports to find that the undersigned made any agreement to waive his security deposit i
11 exchange for additional access to the property." (PI. Mot. at p. 12.) In addition, Coughlin aver
12 counsel for Merliss misled this Court by claiming Coughlin was permitted to remove persona
13 property after 5 :00 p.m. Coughlin further alleges counsel for Merliss "boarded up" the premises
14 "install [ ed] a chain and padlock on the back gate," and later attempted to file suit for the disposa
15 costs of removing the property, all of which prevented Coughlin from removing the items in th
16 first place. (PI. Mot. at p. 14.) Consequently, Coughlin contends this Court's Order should b
17 amended or altered under NRCP 52 or 59 to include these allegations as additional findings 0
18 fact.
19 Conversely, in his Opposition filed on February 3, 2012 Merliss avers Coughlin fails t
20 articulate which findings he wants amended under NRCP 52. Even if Coughlin did articulat
21 such findings, however, Merliss contends relief under NRCP 52(b) is nonetheless unavailable t
22 Coughlin because this Court's Order did not contain a final judgment, as that rule requires.
23 Similarly, Merliss contends Coughlin is not entitled to relief under NRCP 59(e) because "n
24 judgment has ever been entered by this court in this case, so there is no judgment for this court t
25 alter or amend." (Def. Opp'n at p. 2.) In short, Merliss contends Coughlin's Motion lacks an
26 evidentiary basis, is "nonsense ... filed only to delay this matter and drive up fees," and i
27 "completely devoid of any merit whatsoever," to the extent "it is even decipherable." (Def

3 Order dated January 11, 2012. In that Order, this Court denied Coughlin's emergency reques
4 for a temporary restraining order. Coughlin made the request afer Judge Sferrazza of RJ
5 entered an Order on December 21, 2011, in which he ordered: (1) Coughlin to pay $480.00 t

8 December 22, 2011 and December 23, 2011 to remove his personal property.
9 Coughlin claims this Court's January 11, 2012 Order "is clearly inaccurate to the exten
lO is purports to fnd that the undersigned made any agreement to waive his security deposit i
11 exchange for additional access to the property. " (PI. Mot. at p. 12.) In addition, Coughlin aver
12 counsel for Merliss misled this Court by claiming Coughlin was permitted to remove persona
13 property afer 5 :00 p.m. Coughlin fher alleges counsel for Merliss "boarded up" the premises

5 As mentioned previously, this case involves the su ary eviction of Coughlin from 121
6 River Rock Street, Reno, NV 89501 ("the Property"). Afer two hearings in RJC in whic
7 Coughlin alleged defenses of habitability, retaliation, and discrimination, Judge Sferrazz
8 adjudged Coughlin suarily evicted from the Property pursuat to NRS 40.253(6) by Orde
9 dated October 27, 2011. Specifcally, Judge Sferrazza found Merliss properly terminate
10 Coughlin's tenancy and thereafer properly served Coughlin with a notice of unlawfl detainer.
11 Judge Sferrazza frther found "Coughlin failed to present any evidence that Merliss acted in an
12 prohibited, discriminatory, or retaliatory fashion as alleged by Coughlin, or otherwise.'
13 (Sferrazza, J., Order, Case No. REV2011-001708, Oct. 27, 2011.)
14 As a result, Coughlin was ordered to vacate the premises by October 31, 2011 at 5:0
15 p.m. Coughlin failed to do so. He also failed to remove his personal belongings. Consequently
16 Merliss sought a personal property lien for storage of Coughlin's personal belongings in th

19 $480.00 as "fair and reasonable compensation" for Merliss's storage of his personal belongings.

This Court also has considered all of the parties' relevant arguments. After this review an
consideration, this Court will not disturb Judge Sferrazza's October 27, 2011 Order grantin
summary eviction. This Court finds that Order was based on substantial evidence and it was no
clearly erroneous. Thus, this Court concludes Merliss has met his initial burden of proving ther
is no genuine issue of material fact regarding whether Coughlin was summarily evicted properly

Mr. Coughlin,
Our records indicate that the eviction conducted on that day was personally served by Deputy Machen by posting a
copy of the Order to the residence. The residence was unoccupied at the time.

Subject: WCSO Deputy Machem's "personally served" Affidavit of 11/1/2011
[email protected] [email protected]
Dear IA Supervisor Stuchell and DDA Kandaras,
I realize you will likely not read all of this. The main thing is I am respectfully
requesting that you confirm with Deputy Machem that he did, in fact, "personally
serve" the Summary Eviction Order on me at 121 River Rock St., Reno 89501 on
November 1, 2011 at 4:30 pm, in connection with performing the lockout. It is my
position that I was not "personally served" and I am trying to figure out whether
Deputy Machem is lying or whether the phrase "personally served" means something
other than what I believe it means, etc., etc. I appreciate your attention to this.

I am writing to inquire about and complain with regard to an Affidavit of Service filed
by or for WCSO Deputy Machem with respect to the service of a Order Granting
Summary Eviction against me (in my law office where non-payment of rent was not
alleged, no less in violation of NRS 40.253 and where a $2,275 rent escrow deposit
was foisted upon me in violation of 40.253(6), especially where a stay of eviction was
not granted even while the RJC held on to most all my money...).
My issue with the WCSO is that Machem's Affidavit of Service indicates that he
"personally served" me, which kind of reminds me of all that robo-signing and MERS
fraud I come across in my day job (and do you wonder how many attorneys in the
foreclosure defense game I am in constant contact with who are watching and witness
the potential RICO violations this writing mentions?), which includes being a
foreclosure defense attorney. So which is it? Did Machem "personally serve" me the
Summary Eviction Order? Richard G. Hill, Esq. likes to argue that I was "served" in
compliance with all time related rules because it was done in the "usual custom and
practice of the WCSO. What, exactly, is the "usual custom and practice of the
WCSO? I hear a lot about this "within 24 hours" stuff. So, I go hunting for some
black letter law to support what those at the RJC and in the clueless community at
large (which often includes Nevada Legal Services and Washoe Legal Services, the
people you guys had such trouble actually serving in the lawsuits I filed, which may
have actually helped improved legal services in this community, if they were not
dismissed due to insufficiency of service of process, even where the IFP required the
WCSO to served the defendants....). Anyway, back to the "within 24 hours"
phraseology: "
This whole business about The court may thereupon issue an order directing the
sheriff or constable of the county to remove the tenant within 24 hours after receipt of

inapplicable to the current one. NRS 40.253(3)(b)(2), and NRS 40.253(5)(a) are the

situations only apply where, in:

county to remove the tenant within 24 hours after receipt of the order
and,
40.253(5)(a): 5. Upon noncompliance with the notice: (a) The landlord or the
landlords agent may apply by affidavit of complaint for eviction to the justice court
of the township in which the dwelling, apartment, mobile home or commercial
premises are located or to the district court of the county in which the dwelling,
apartment, mobile home or commercial premises are located, whichever has
jurisdiction over the matter. The court may thereupon issue an order directing the
sheriff or constable of the county to remove the tenant within 24 hours after receipt of
the order. The way these summary eviction proceedings are being carried out in Reno
Justice Court presently shocks the conscience and violates Nevada law. There is not
basis for effectuating a lockout the way WCSO's Deputy Machem did in this case. The
above two sections containing the within 24 hours of receipt language are
inapplicable, as those situations do not invoke the present circumstances, where the
Tenant did file an Affidavit and did contest this matter to a degree not often seen. To
require Nevada's tenants to get up and get out within 24 hours of receipt of the
order (what does that even mean? The use of terms like rendition, rendered,
notice of entry, pronounced, is absent here, and this receipt of the order
language is something rarely found elsewhere in Nevada law-see attached DMV
statutory citations, and in employment law litigations where one must file a Complaint
within 90 days of receipt of a Right To Sue Letter, a situation which follows NRCP
5(b), and NRCP 6(e) in imputing receipt of such a letter, when actual receipt is not
shown, by applying a constructive notice standard that relies upon the days for
mailing extension of time for items served in the mailing, etc.). In Abraham v. Woods
Hole Oceanographic Institute, 553 F.3d 114 (1st Cir. 2009), the record did not reflect
when the plaintiff received his right-to-sue letter. The letter was issued on November
24, 2006. The court calculated that the 90-day period commenced on November 30,
2006, based on three days for mailing after excluding Saturdays and Sundays. In order
to bring a claim under either Title VII or the ADA, a plaintiff must exhaust
administrative remedies and sue within 90 days of receipt of a right to sue letter. See
42 U.S.C. 2000e-5(f)(1). See Baldwin County Welcome Center v. Brown, 466 U.S.
147, 148 n.1, 104 S.Ct. 1723, 80 L.Ed.2d 196 (1984)(granting plaintiff an additional
three days for mailing pursuant to Rule 6).
Further, despite what the inaccurate handouts of Nevada Legal Services may say about
this 24 hours and the applicability of the JCRCP to cases like these, NRS 40.400
Rules of practice, holds that :The provisions of NRS, Nevada Rules of Civil

Procedure and Nevada Rules of Appellate Procedure relative to civil actions, appeals
and new trials, so far as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of NRS 40.220 to
40.420, inclusive, apply to the proceedings mentioned in those sections. As such
NRCP 6(a),(e) applies to the Order of Summary Eviction that WCSO Deputy Machem
alleged, under penalty of perjury, that he "personally served" upon me on November 1,
2011. That is a lie by Mr. Machem, unless "personally served" is defined in a rather
impersonal way and or Machem and I have totally different understanding of the
definition of "personally served", which may be the case. Or, perhaps the Sheriff's
Office is busy and doesn't want to wait around to "personally serve" every tenant it
wishes to evict. Fine, then just use the "mail it and allow three days" rule in NRCP
6(e)...the landlord's might not like it, but they can use that frustration as an incentive
not to jump to litigating every disagreement about habitability that a tenant brings to
them. You may not realize how ridiculous some landlord's get. In my case, I offered
to fix basic things that clearly implicated the habitability rules in NRS 118A.290 and
the Californian neurosurgeon, Beverly Hill High School graduate landlord balked and
complained then hired and attorney four days into a dispute.....at which point the rules
against contacting represented parties prevented much in the way of real settlement
discussion, particularly where opposing counsel has continuously demonstrated a
complete indifference to pursuing settlement (why would he at the rates he bills hours
at?). I just don't think the Sheriff's Office needs to sully its image or damage the
citizen tenants of Washoe County in the name of pleasing people like Dr. Matt Merliss
or Richard G. Hill, Esq.
I AM REQUESTING, IN WRITING, THAT BOTH OF YOUR OFFICES

the court, to dispute the amount of the costs, if any, claimed by the landlord pursuant
to NRS 118A.460 or 118C.230 for the inventory, moving and storage of personal

(b) A copy of those charges has been requested by or provided to the tenant,
whichever is later.
8. Upon the filing of a motion pursuant to subsection 7, the court shall
schedule a hearing on the motion. The hearing must be held within 10 days after
the filing of the motion. The court shall affix the date of the hearing to the motion

process server. At the hearing, the court may:
(a) Determine the costs, if any, claimed by the landlord pursuant to NRS 118A.460

(b) Order the release of the tenants property upon the payment of the charges
determined to be due or if no charges are determined to be due...."
I also want to know why NRS 40. 253(8) was not followed with respect to my
November 17th, 2011 filing of a Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien. Why
didn't the WCSO serve notice, as required by NRS 40.253(8) upon the landlord's
attorney Richard Hill? Why didn't I get a hearing within the 10 days called called for
by that section (to get back my client's files no less), but rather, I had to wait a full 33
days to get a hearing, and service of notice of the hearing was not effectuated, as
required by NRS 40.235(8), by the WCSO. Why?
Please provide an indication, in writing, of the names and case numbers for the last 20

40.253(8). What's that? The WCSO has NEVER served such notice? Yet the WCSO
is there with bells on (or Machem is) to lie in Affidavits of Service to lock out the
citizen tenants of Washoe County impermissilby early vis a vis NRCP 5(b)(2) and
NRCP 6(e)? Why is that? Is it a conspiracy? Does money talk? When I was arrested
for trespassing on November 12th, 2011 by RPD Officer Chris Carter and Sargent
Lopez, Carter admitted to me that "Richard Hill pays him a lot of money and therefore
he arrests whom Richard Hill says to and does what Richard Hill says to do...." Both
Carter and Sargent Lopez refused to investigate, despite prompting, whether Richard
Hill has sent the tenant/arrestee a bill or demand letter in bill for the full rental value
of the property, $900 per month, under some interpretation of the "reasonable storage,
moving, and inventorying expenses" collectable by a landlord under a personal
property line set forth in NRS 118A.460 (one could also interpret such a bill as Hill's
withdrawing or eradicating the Order of Summary Eviction itself, which was not
"personally served" by the Washoe County Sheriff (despite what their Affidavit of
Service says...I wasn't even there at the time they changed the locks...and so the
Summary Eviction Order was not properly served under NRCP 6, and despite the
Reno Justice Court impermissibly converting $2300 of my money under a "rent
escrow" Order its required I comply with in order to litigate habitability issues in a
summary eviction proceeding under NRS 40.253, despite NRS 40.253(6)'s express
dicate against such an Order (unless, pursuant to JCRCP 83, a justice court gets such a
rule, like Justice Court Rule of Las Vegas (JCRLV) Rule 44, published and approved
by the Nevada Supreme Court, which the RJC has not, rather, the RJC applies all
these insidious secret "house rules" (like forcing tenants to deliver themselves to the
filing office to submit to personal service notice of a summary eviction hearing within,
like, 12 hours of the Tenant filing a Tenant's Answer or Affidavit in response to an
eviction Notice, rather than the service requirements of such notice following NRCP 6
(days for mailing, etc., etc., in other words, in the RJC everything is sped up
imperissilby to help landlord's out, and the NV. S. Ct ruling in Glazier and Lippis
clearly contemplate personal liability against the Court and or Judges themselves for
so doing)....A Qui Tam action or something a la Mausert's in Solano County, I believe,
in California, would be very interesting...Still haven't heard anything from the Reno
PD about the various complaints I have filed with them in writing related to the
wrongful arrests, excessive force and other misconduct committed against me, though
they did arrest me the other day for calling 911incident to some domestic violence for
which I was granted to Extended Protection Orders against my former
housemates....old Sargent Sigfree ordered that arrest, as he did two days prior when he
ordered a custodial arrest of me for "jaywalking".

Reno PD shortly after submitting these written complaints to the Reno PD.
Actually, upon being release from jail on November 15th, 2011, incident to the
custodial trespass arrest, I went to Richard HIll's office to get my wallet and driver's
license. He refused to provide it to me until late November 22nd, 2011. Hill called
the Reno PD on the 15th (or maybe I did because he was withholding my state issued
ID, the one I would need to rent a room, drive my car, and my wallet, which is kind of
useful in such situations....). Anyways, Sargent Tarter of the Reno PD showed up, he
went inside Hill's office with Hill for quite some time and the result was Tarter telling
me to leave. I did, but while driving down St. Laurence towards S. Virginia (Hill's
office is at 652 Forrest St. 89503 and would have required turning down the wrong
way of a one way street, Forrest, to go back to Hill's Office (so clearly I was not
headed to Hill's office) Sargent Tarter began tailing me, then he pulled me over, then
he gave me a ticket, in retaliation if you ask me for reporting RPD Officer Carter
admitting that he takes bribes from Hill to Sargent Tarter minutes earlier. Uh, well,
anyways, another Sargent calls me later that night, taking the "good cop" role. But
upon informing him of what RPD Officer Carter told me about Hill paying him money
to arrest people during the 11/12/11 trespassing arrest, that Sargent immediately
informed me that, despite this being the first he heard of that, he was sure that was not
happening....I guess RPD Officer Carter is trying to explain away his comments about
Richard Hill paying him money to arrest people by dismissing them as sarcasm, a
joke, said in jest, whatever....but I don't see how that situation (a license attorney
getting arrested for a crime, a conviction for which would result in that attorney being
required to report said conviction to the State Bar of Nevada under SCR 111, etc., and
possibly resulting in a suspension of that attorney's license to practice law, or worse...)
is all that jocular of a situation. Combine that with the too quick to dismiss my
reports of bribery by Richard Hill to officer Carter to the RPD Sargent who called me
on 11/15/11 regarding the retaliation by Sargent Tarter that I complained of, and I
don't think it is all that unreasonable for anyone to take RPD Officer Carter at his
word regarding Richard G. Hill, Esq. paying him money to arrest whom Hill says to
arrest. Add to that Sargent Sigfree ordering my arrest for jaywalking (by a trainee
RPD Officer) on January 12th, 2011 (custodial arrest, bail of $160 emptied my bank
account out, or pretty close to it) while I was peacefully filming from a public spot
Richard G. Hill, Esq's contractor Phil Howard, whom had submitted bills in courts
records and filings under the lien for "reasonable storage moving and inventorying"

board up the back porch (curiously leaving the screws holding up the plywood
exposed to exterior of the property where anyone could easily unscrew them, and also
leaving in a window unit ac secured only by ducttape in a window facing a sidewalk
by the LakeMill Lodge....which resulted in $8,000 at least of my personal property
being burglarized from my former home law office on Decmeber 12th, 2011 while
Hill was asserting a lien on all my personal property found therein (and my client's
files, which arguably are not even my property, but rather, the client's property). Hill
went on to place what he believes to be my social security number in court records, on
purpose, despite his signing an Affirmation pursuant to NRS 239B.030 that that was
not the case (attaching a two page report to the RPD as an Exhibit). Then Hill and his
contractor Phil Howard both committed perjury when the signed Declarations attesting
that I had climbed on the contractors truck or ever touched Hill. Hill lies constantly,
whether under penalty of perjury or now, so I don't have time to rebut every little lie
he makes (he makes me out to comes across as a Yosemite Sam caricature of a human
being in his filings when he describes me...).
Further, why am I arrested for trespassing and not those from Nevada Court Services
where they went behind closed gate the the backyard of my home law office and
banged on window extremely loudly for 40 minutes at a time 3 times a day, one guy
ringing the doorbell, one guy moving around all other sides of the property banging on
the windows, peering in closed blinds, and affecting a phony "color of law" tone,
resemblance, and verbal communications, misleadingly announcing that they were
"Court Services, come out now!", wearing their pretend Sheriff outfits, big equipment
saddled belts (including firearms, I believe, and radios), etc. ,etc.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQ132q2O7DY
Add to that that Nevada Court Services Jeff Chandler drives by in his Monster Truck
baring his personalized "NCS" license plate while I am in the RPD squad car,
handcuffed, outside my former law office at 121 River Rock, at the time of the
1/12/12 jaywalking arrest and the appearances are troubling. Now, add to that that
Lew Taitel, Esq. was my court appointed public defender in the Reno Municipal Court
in the trespass case, and that Judge Gardner had refused to provide me the names of
prospective appointed defense counsel (I wanted to run a conflicts check) at my
arraignment (where Marshal Mentzel barked at me in a threatening tone, using
menacing language), whereupon Taitel was appointed as my defense attorney and
filed a notice of appearance, and received my confidential file, pc sheet, arrest reports,
ssn, etc....only its turns out that Taitel shares and office and a receptionist with Nevada

Court Services and they list him and his picture on their website as "associated with"
their Process Server corporation, despite the prohibition lawyers face against fee
sharing with non-lawyers. Then, Taitel somehow manages to get out of defending my
case without filing a Motion to Withdraw as Counsel, despite that being required by
the Reno Municipal Court Rule 3(B):
RMCR Rule 3(B): Authorization to Represent (B): An attorney desiring to withdraw
from a case shall file a motion with the court and serve the City Attorney with the
same. The court may rule on the motion or set a hearing.
But, perhaps most troubling of all is the implication that the Reno City Attorney's
Office, which defends actions against the City of Reno Police Department and its
Officers, has a vested interest in discrediting me in advance of the wrongful arrest
lawsuit that the Reno City Attorney's office knew was imminent at the time of all of
the above incidents, relating to the following August 20th, 2011 wrongful arrest by
RPD Officer's Duralde and Rosa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PR7q4OI5b0
So, that's what attempting to coerce a suspect's consent to an impermissible search
sounds like? Add to that that the trespassing case is before Judge Gardner, whom
most recently was employed with the Reno City Attorney's Office.
And, you know what is funny? Officer Del Vecchio cuffed me and placed me in his
squad car last summer after he terrified me and another gentleman who had bicycles.
He veered across the road and screeched his squad car to a halt, jumped out, and did
some other stuff, then demanded my name and ID...and the lawyer in me didn't like
that that much, and he didn't like me not wanting to give it to him. This occurred right
in front of my home law office in the summer of 2011. He cuffed me and told me I
was going to jail for something about a light on the front of my bicycle (the one NV
Energy likely stole when the shut off my power, unnoticed, on October 4, 2011)
despite my bike actually having such a light....but then Del Vecchio's partner did him
a solid and talked some sense into him, and I humbled it up for Del Vecchio and we
both let it go, and I didn't go to jail....Until Del Vecchio was present supervising some
Officer's training at the scene of my custodial (9 hour) jaywalking arrest) on 1/12/12.
But Del Vecchio, I guess either didn't want to or wasn't able to talk some sense into
Sargent Sigfree.....and then Sargent Sigfree (the spelling is likely off) had me arrested
and charged with a gross misdemeanor, "Misuse of 911" just two days later, on
January 14th, 2011 when I called 911 to report that my roommates were laughing
menacingly when I asked them why my dog was missing (I had also been chased up to

my room numerous times since moving in with these people, something I had to do
because so much of my money had been taken up with bail or lost earnings due to all
these wrongful arrests and abuse of processes mentioned above...also these
housemates had chased me with a ten inch butcher knife, two of my tires were
slashed, I was locked out all night on New Years Even when these changed the locks
at around midnight, had my furniture thrown in the street, property stolen, coffee
thrown on me, destroying my smart phone in the process, etc., etc...And despite the
housemate having an outstanding arrest warrant, and animal abuse being listed
amongst the elements of domestic violence, Sargent Sigfree told me he was arresting
me because I "keep putting yourself in these situations", like, where I am a victim, and
that he was "trying to help you", he said with a smirk and a laugh to his fellow RPD
Officers, whom then proceeded to use excessive force against me. I guess he was
helping me by saddling me with a gross misdemeanor with a $1,500 bail, especially
where its been arranged for Court Services, or pre-Trial Services to forever deny me
an OR, despite my meeting the factors for such set forth in statute (30 year resident,
entire immediate family lives here, licensed to practice law in Nevada, etc., etc)...I
guess it should not be too much of a surprise to me that Reno City Attorney Pam
Roberts failed to address the perjury of all three of her witnesses or that her fellow
Reno City Attorney Christopher Hazlett-Stevens lied to me about whether or not the
Reno City Attorney's Office even had any documentation related to my arrest or
whether it would in the month before my arraignment, despite that fact that subsequent
productions of discovery tend to indicate that the Reno City Attorney's Office did
have those materials at the time. I could be wrong about some of this...But that would
require and awful lot of coincidences.
