There is some indication the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is increasingly cross with what California state and federal courts are doing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2sCUrhgXjH4 Mr. Duran, you may find this of interest.

I’m impressed with your pro se accomplishment before the California federal courts which, in my experience, are nearly as corrupt as the State court system we both agree is deeply corrupt.

There is some indication the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is increasingly cross with what California state and federal courts are doing.

I subsequently, misspelled the word "believe" in the conversation. (I apologize for my stupid mistake).

I filed my case in the U. S. District Court Eastern District of California and in my case I accepted the notion that there is still hope for every American in seeking justice at the Federal level. The greater majority of Federal Judges are not corrupt and will not tolerate any form of misconduct or fraud (Please check the history of the Honorable Lawrence J. O'Neill). Before the filing of my case I seeked advise from eight lawyers, county, and states as far as New York. They all felt that I didn't have a remedy to my action. How stupid could they have been?. On January 15, 2015 after firing a local attorney, for accepting a Settlement Agreement that I did not agree too, he attempted to intimate me into suggesting the Settlement had been reached and that the court had closed the case, I immediately filed a Motion to Dismiss Counsel and Proceed Pro Se Under a Common Law Venue and thus, on March 18, 2015,I settled my own case on my terms and conditions. The Attorney for the City of Porterville, tried to block every argument presented and failed. He filed a Motion to Dismiss and the Motion was "DENIED". Initially, he was arguing the wrong Ordiance Code and had to correct his documents. In a private conversation that took place at Settlement Conference he didn't even know that one of the Defendant in the case was (recently forced to retire for misconduct allegations) the Porterville Police Chief. I advised him that if a settlement was not reached that I was prepared to depose the Chief. Via the fired attorney he attempted to sneek a "Confidentialty Clause" thinking that I was stupid and that I was not going to review the conditions of the settlement. If any servant should violate your rights seek appropriate legal advise and sue them in Federal Court. The truth shall always prevail. Always remember that "a person representing himself has the best interest in his case in mind". Don't beleive any liar (excuse me, lawyer). Fraud has not statute of limitations.

Not only did his "stupid" conduct tarnish the fabrics of the Judicial System, but more so, it was a "kick in the butt" to all the Latinos that struggle for the chance to be treated equal in the profession. It was his responsiblity to have set a good example. Saucedo may want to ask himself, as to what the Honorable Ceasar Chavez would have thought of him. Although, it is unexcusable the women who were the so call "victims" need to share the disgrace. Maybe one of them should have pulled him aside and "checked" him on his conduct instead of accepting his unwelcome advances. If there is anything worse than a dirty lawyer (liar) it is a sleazy Judge. There is no excuse for Saucedo’s actions.
