Judge Paul Gutman Sets Hearing for April 27th in Ongoing 'Fraud Upon The Court' Case

LOS ANGELES, CA - April 17 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- "On April 14th, 2006, a claim was filed with the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for 140 Million dollars by Anant Tripati. This stems from an admission by Richard Goldston, a former agent of the L.A. County District Attorney, during deposition on October 19th, 2005 that he falsified evidence concerning search warrant SW34227 as well as some related County records in a case against Mr. Tripati. The District Attorney's Office has concealed the falsification of evidence admitted by Goldston since 1992, and now admitted to by Lt. Belen Jeske. More supporting admissions were provided by Lt. Jeske, currently employed by the L.A. County District Attorney, in her deposition on August 22nd, 2005, where she states that in Los Angeles County it is common for the District Attorney's Office to falsify evidence as to search warrants," according to Bill Liebman.

"In the ongoing 'Fraud Upon The Courts' case, the lawyers for Los Angeles County, of the law firm of Nelson and Fulton, have falsified evidence during the proceedings and used blank, pre-signed verifications to verify discovery responses. Lt. Jeske admitted during her deposition testimony to signing blank verification forms for the L.A. County lawyers," continues Liebman.

"Supporters of Mr. Anant Tripati raised and posted $50,000 cash security with the court as ordered by Judge Paul Gutman so as to challenge fraud upon the court perpetrated by the District Attorney's Office against Tripati. This cash security posting was ordered by the Judge in an attempt to halt the case against L.A. County after the admissions of fraud evidence against L.A. County was obtained during deposition testimony," states Liebman.

"As required by the Supreme Court case: Christopher v. Harbury, 536 U.S. 403, 415 (2002) [a simpler case without the denial-of-access element], after the court dismissed the complaint BC326528 Tripati filed a CCP 473 Motion and an action in Equity BC343351 claim with the L.A. County Board of supervisors. This is prerequisite to filing a '1983' in Federal court. In the event that on April 27th, 2006, Judge Paul Gutman dismisses BC343351, Tripati will then be eligible to file a 1983 in Federal court. Tripati is proceeding without counsel," according to Liebman.

"Lawyers familiar with the case state 'as a matter of California law, the court should hold a trial on the issues as the admissions by County employees seriously affects the integrity of their warrants.' Since Los Angeles County has a lot of racial minorities, many others may have claims against Los Angeles as well. One lawyer states 'CCP 391 should be amended by the legislature to exclude all challenges for fraud and to exclude public entities or their agents from invoking this code,'" comments Liebman.
