Senator Crapo says the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals “is problematic in a number of ways and because of this, our justice system itself suffers.” Ha, that is an understatement! Yes, thousands of people who have suffered true grievances and go through the appeals process to have the fair review allowed by our law, are detrimentally affected. Not only have appellants been railroaded by the lower courts they are victimized by the Ninth Circuit Court as well. http://crapo.senate.gov/issues/crime_law_judiciary/ninth_circuit.cfm

Even the United States Department of Justice faces the same problem with the Ninth Circuit as the 80% of appellants.
http://www.usdoj.gov/olp/pdf/ninth_circuit_split_aag_brand_testimony.pdf

Just about 80% of Ninth Circuit Court decisions get unpublished memorandums, which average about three paragraphs. In these paragraphs there are some citations to cases that are totally irrelevant to the cases on appeal.

The judges don’t sign the memorandums or anything they are just stamped by the clerk of the court and most of the briefs are not even read at all. Chief Justice Judge Kozinski writes there are a lot of critics that say this but he challenges the critics to show him proof that the case law cited is irrelevant and contradict not just other Ninth Circuit Court opinions but other Circuits as well. http://notabug.com/kozinski/unpublisheddispositions

Well, Maura Larkins website (Mauralarkins.com)has enough dismissals posted that fit the challenge of Chief Judge Kozinski. The unpublished memorandums that have been handed to 80% of appellants average about three paragraphs with about four citations and the citations are totally irrelevant to the cases on appeal. The unpublished memorandums contradict other Ninth Circuit Court decisions as well as other Circuit Courts. The Ninth Circuit can care less about Congressional acts or amendments. The unpublished memorandums go against Supreme Court rulings and Congressional writings. Peters v. Guajome Park Academy is a perfect example of how cases are papered
and never even read by the court clerks who end up writing the 80% unpublished opinions yet Chief Justice Kozinski is so proud of the Ninth Circuit sloppy work.

United States Senator Mike Crapo, say the delays cause “hardships” for litigants I think it goes beyond hardship. What is happening in the Ninth Circuit is totally un-American and unconstitutional.

In his writings Chief Judge Kozinski talks about the, “good old boy politics.”

Good old boy politics he, you mean like Daniel Shinoff (favored law firm for California’s Keenan and Associates Joint Powers of Authority.) Shinoff firm writes briefs with citations that have been overruled by circuit courts? How about Daniel Shinoff lying to the court? How about Daniel Shinoff wire tapping people without their consent? How about Daniel Shinoff hiring investigators with public funds for harassment? How about Daniel Shinoff abuse of the courts for the illegal purpose to wear down the opposing party? How about Daniel Shinoff hiring expert witnesses to lie on the stand and to falsefy reports?

Sure why not torment your opponent when you know the court clerks are on you side regardless of what you do right? That is one of the perks the good old boys network gives you. The clerks don’t have much legal experience and they don’t need expertise, since they rotate every few months. The Ninth Circuit Court clerks are just as ignorant as the circuit court clerks but who cares as long as they pad their resumes and do the dirty work for the good old boys club.

The good old boys club has enabled Daniel Shinoff to continue to cover up for those who commit crimes against children and violate the law.

If all of this is not bad enough you got San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis who turns a blind eye to Daniel Shinoff’s illegal actions.
