    Re: Various emai1s and facsimile transmissions.

    Dear Mr. Zernik:

    As a follow up to my enclosed response to you dated February 19,2010, I have been


    advised that failure-to-appear bench warrants are exempt from the Penal Code provisions
    applicable to other warrants. According to the holding in People v, Superior Court (Copeland)
    (1968) 262 Cal.App.2d 283,285, no signed warrant is required when a person signs a written
    promise to appear at the time and place specified in the citation, and fails to appear or post bail
    by that date. See 4 Witkin & Epstein, California Criminal Law (3d ed.), Pretrial Proceedings,
    §50, "Failure to Appear." The clerk's docket entry and the abstract of the warrant generated
    electronically and sent to police agencies is all that is required. Accordingly, there will not be a
    signed warrant in your case files; only an abstract of the warrant, and the entry in the docket.
    That is all the case law and statutes require for such a failure to appear traffic warrant.

    Re: Various emails and facsimile transmissions.

    Dear Mr. Zernik:

    You continue to send large numbers of communications to the court's Executive


    Officer, the Presiding Judge and others by email and facsimile. For the reasons I have
    explained a number of times in previous letters, your emails and facsimiles are not accepted
    by the court and are not delivered. I have advised you that you should mail your inquiries
    directly to me. Because of the screening procedures that have been necessitated by the nature
    of your email and facsimile communications there is a significant risk your requests sent by
    email or facsimile may not be received or that there may be substantial delay in responding to
    them.

    Your enclosed facsimile was forwarded to me. You indicate that you were arrested
    and jailed on February 6, 20 I 0, and you request copies of the arrest warrants related to those
    arrests. Most criminal records, including yours, are public documents available for inspection
    at the courthouse where they are on file. Copies may be obtained by paying the statutory fee
    of $5 for each search (Government Code section 26854) and $0.50 per page (Government
    Code section 70627(a)). Criminal records are not available on line.

    It appears from the register summary that a complaint was filed by the Los Angeles
    County Sheriffs Department in the Beverly Hills court on February 10,2009, charging a
    violation of Vehicle code sections 14601. 1(A), and Vehicle code section 24252(A) in case
    number 9BV00316. On March 4, 2009, it appears that you failed to appear and a bench
    warrant was issued for your arrest, with bail set in the amount of $30,000. You should be
    able to review the file and obtain copies of the arrest warrant or any other pleadings in the file
    at the Beverly Hills courthouse. The actual case file at the courthouse is the best record of the
    proceeding. The register summary is not the best record.

    It appears from the register summary that a complaint was filed on October 28, 2008
    by the Burbank Police Department in the Burbank court charging violation of Vehicle Code
    section 14601.1 (A) and 23123(A). On November 24, 2008, it appears that you did not appear
    on this matter and a bench warrant for your arrest was issued, with bail set in the amount of
    $5,000. It further appears that on January 28, 2009, you were released on your own
    Joseph Zernik
    Re: Various emails and facsimile transmissions
    February 19,2010
    Page: 2

    recognizance by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, with an appearance date set for
    March 11, 2009. On March II, 2009, it appears that you did not appear and a bench warrant
    was issued for your arrest, with bail set in the amount of$5,000. You should be able to
    review the file and obtain copies of the arrest warrant or any other pleadings in the me at the
    Beverly Hills courthouse. The actual case file at the courthouse is the best record of the
    proceeding. The register summary is not the best record.

    Whether the complaints were validly filed, whether you committed the charged
    offenses, and whether the bench warrant was appropriately issued are all matters that will have
    to be raised in the pending criminal proceedings. Neither court staff nor any judge may
    publicly comment upon pending cases.

    Very truly yours,

    ~:>'J

    10-02-12 Repeat request for records which were the warrant that were the legal foundation of the
    arrest of Joseph Zernik on February 7,2010.

    John A Clarke, Clerk of the Court


    Los Angeles Superior Court
    Dear Clerk Clarke:

    Pursuant to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, pursuant to US Supreme Court decision in Nixon v
    Warner Communication, Inc (1978), where the US Supreme Court re-affirmed the right to access court records, and
    pursuant to the California Public Records Act, Cal Gov Code 6254(t), I request access to court records which are the
    warrants, which were claimed to be the foundation for my arrest and jailing on February 6,2010. Such warrant were
    referenced: (a) 8BR0429801 and (b) 9BV0031601.

    Please advise me if and where and when I would be able to gain access to such records - to inspect and to copy,
    pursuant to my Human, Constitutional, and Civil Rights.

    Respectfully,
    Dated: February 12, 2010
