he county and city of Los Angeles will benefit from approximately $182 million in state funding to support the building of 516 affordable homes, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced Wednesday. The money comes from Round 3 of Homekey awards, which will fund nine housing projects in five communities across the state -- three of those in Los Angeles County. A total of 613 new affordable homes are expected to be completed as a result of the funding, and more than a third of those units will be reserved for people experiencing chronic homelessness. “Homekey continues to be one of California’s most successful efforts to rapidly create housing for people struggling with homelessness,” Newsom said in a statement. “Through this innovative approach, we have funded over 14,600

homes in communities all across the state.” Of the $182 million, the cities of Los Angeles, Carson and Lancaster will receive $61.2 million, $34.4 million and $27.7 million, respectively. The remaining funds will support projects in San Pablo and Berkley. Originally launched months into the COVID-19 pandemic as an extension of Project Roomkey to curb the spread of disease among Californians in congregate shelters, Homekey funds additional building types and supports a broader population of people either homeless or at risk for homelessness. This includes young people transitioning to adulthood from foster care or an unsafe environment. “Homekey continues to serve as a model for communities across the nation confronting the crisis of homelessness,” Gustavo Velasquez, director of the state’s Department

of Housing and Community Development, said in a statement. “Born out of necessity in a time of crisis, Homekey has evolved our thinking of how to most effectively and quickly create quality housing to support Californians in a life lived off the streets and connected to critical services that help ensure lasting stability,” he added. Homekey Round 3 grant funding is available to local public entities, such as cities, counties, tribes and housing authorities to develop a broad range of housing. On Nov. 15, the HCD added $114 million in supplemental funding to the initial pool of $736 million, adding more funding opportunities for eligible applicants. Approximately $513 million remains in Homekey grants, and the state will continue

to review applications and award funding on a rolling basis until all funds are exhausted. The city of Los Angeles is set to receive $26.5 million of the $61.2 million for The Weingart Shelby project, to acquire and rehabilitate an assisted living facility to create 78 units of interim, supportive housing for individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. The Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles will receive $18.2 million for the 4065 Oakwood project -- to acquire and rehabilitate an apartment complex. Another $9.3 million will support the 4818 N. Sepulveda Blvd. project for the construction of a multi-family property. The development is expected to provide supportive housing for 34 households with incomes at or below

he Wall That Heals, a three-quarter scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial along with a Mobile Education Center, is coming to Baldwin Park on March 14-17 at 4100 Baldwin Park Blvd. The exhibit will be open 24 hours a day and free to the public. The Wall That Heals honors the more than three million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed forces in the Vietnam War, and it bears the names of the 58,281 men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in Vietnam. “The City of Baldwin Park is humbled and honored to host The Wall That Heals on its journey across the country,” said Baldwin Park Mayor Emmanuel J. Estrada. “The sacrifices made by these heroes and their families is a debt we will never be able to repay, so we honor their service by hosting The Wall That Heals. We are grateful for this opportunity for our community to reflect and pay tribute to our Vietnam See Memorial wall Page 23

War veterans.” “The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund is pleased to bring The Wall That Heals mobile exhibit to Baldwin Park to allow local veterans and their family members a chance to experience The Wall,” said Jim Knotts, president and CEO of VVMF. “Hosting The Wall That Heals provides an opportunity to honor and remember all those who served and sacrificed in the Vietnam War and educate visitors on the continuing impact of the Vietnam War on America.” The Wall That Heals is transported from community to community in a 53-foot trailer. When parked, the trailer opens with exhibits built into its sides, allowing it to serve as a mobile Education Center telling the story of the Vietnam War, The Wall and the divisive era in American history. The City of Baldwin Park will be The Wall’s third stop on its 2024 nationwide journey across 22 states. The three-quarter scale Wall replica is 375 feet in

LA County public defender among those released in Venezuelan prisoner swap By City News Service

E

yvin Hernandez, a Los Angeles County public defender who had been imprisoned in Venezuela since March 2022, was back in the United States Thursday as part of a sweeping prisoner exchange announced by the White House. “All you think about when you’re in prison is how you didn’t appreciate being free while you were free,” Hernandez told an interviewer Wednesday night, minutes after he and five other freed Americans landed at Kelly Field in San Antonio, Texas. “There’s no way to understand what it’s like to be in prison unjustly and not have any way out.” President Joe Biden said a total of 10 Americans who had been detained in Venezuela were released as part of the deal, including six “wrongfully detained Americans.” “These individuals have lost far too much precious time with their loved ones, and their families have suffered every day in their absence,” Biden said in a statement. “I am grateful that their ordeal is finally over, and that these families are being made whole once more.” Hernandez was among those released in the exchange, which also included the extradition of convicted military contractor Leonard Glenn “Fat Leonard” Francis, who escaped home arrest in San Diego last year after pleading guilty to bribing Navy officials. “On behalf of Eyvin Hernandez, his family and friends, we are happy to confirm that he has been released by Venezuela and will shortly touch down on U.S. soil,” Hernandez’s family said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

“He has been wrongfully detained since March of 2022. For over 21 months, he has endured horrible conditions and abuse. We were notified this morning that Eyvin was on his way home -- an early Christmas present for our family. “Our first priority is to ensure that he gets the medical support he needs so that he can recover from his time in captivity. He will talk about his experience when he is ready. For now, we want to thank everyone who helped obtain Eyvin’s release.” The family added, “Even as we celebrate Eyvin’s release, we remember all of the Americans who remain wrongfully detained abroad and we hold close to our hearts a wish that they are all returned to their families as soon as possible.” Garrett Miller, president of the Los Angeles County Public Defenders Union, Local 148, said in a statement he was “thrilled that Eyvin will be coming home and that this ordeal is finally over.” “I can’t even imagine how traumatizing this has been for Eyvin, and our union will do all it can to support him in the coming months,” Miller said. “Eyvin has been deeply missed by his fellow Local 148 members, and we can’t wait to see him again. “I’m grateful to Eyvin’s family for their tireless advocacy and also want to thank Local 148 board member Drew Havens who worked alongside them advocating for Eyvin’s release.” County Public Defender Ricardo Garcia said, “On behalf of all 1,100 members of the Public Defender’s Office, I want to extend our gratitude to the Administration and everyone who

has fought so hard to make this day a reality. We are looking forward to the time when, after he’s had time to recover and rest, Evyin will return to his rightful place as an advocate in court for the indigent and vulnerable of Los Angeles County.” Hernandez, a Los Angeles County deputy public defender for 15 years, was on vacation in Colombia when he joined a friend on a trip to the Colombian-Venezuelan border to resolve a passport issue involving the friend’s stay in Venezuela. At the border, Hernandez and his friend were intercepted by what has been described in various reports as either a paramilitary group, a gang or official Venezuelan forces. Hernandez and his friend were eventually turned over to Venezuelan security forces and jailed in a maximum security prison in Caracas. Hernandez was accused of criminal association and conspiracy, which are punishable by up to 16 years in prison in Venezuela. Over the past nearly

two years, various public officials have sent letters to the White House urging the administration to secure Hernandez’s release. The county Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion last year asking the administration and other federal elected officials to work for his release. The Los Angeles City Council took similar action earlier this year. Reps. Sydney KamlagerDove, D-Los Angeles, and Nanette Barragán, D-San Pedro, joined Rep. Young Kim, R-Anaheim Hills, and Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, in introducing a resolution earlier this year calling on the Venezuelan “regime” to immediately release Hernandez. In December 2022, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass joined Barragán and other congressional representatives in sending a joint letter to Biden, asking his administration to work to free Hernandez. “Eyvin Hernandez landed on U.S. soil this evening thanks to tireless

advocacy by his friends and family as well as steadfast leadership by the BidenHarris administration,” Bass said in a statement released Wednesday night. “When I served in Congress as the chair of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, and Global Human Rights, my office worked with Eyvin’s coworkers and the Hernandez family and connected them with the State Department as well as with other elected officials who became engaged on this issue as well. “I want to especially thank Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove for ensuring that the voices urging for Eyvin’s return continued to be heard. On behalf of the entire City of Los Angeles, welcome home Eyvin.” Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn said she was “so relieved and grateful Eyvin Hernandez is safe and returning home.” “I applaud the White House and the many U.S. diplomats that worked tirelessly to free Eyvin and the other Americans held prisoner in Venezuela,” Hahn said in a statement. “The L.A. County family never forgot Eyvin during these long 18 months and I cannot think of a better Christmas gift for his loved ones this year than his safe return.” Supervisor Kathryn Barger added, “Mr. Hernandez was an innocent bystander caught up in a political power play by the Venezuelan government and has suffered tremendously. I want him and his family to know that our County and its resources stand by to help him recover from this terrible, unjust ordeal. His return is a reminder that we should keep fighting for

what we know is right, and to not give up hope.” Kamlager-Dove called his release “a miracle.” “Words cannot express my joy at having this beloved member of our community here with us again,” she said in a statement. “My office will continue to support Eyvin and his family as he adjusts to life back home.” Kim thanked “the teams at the State Department Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs and the National Security Council for making this a reality.” “This is indeed the best Christmas present we can ask for,” Kim said in a statement. “I stand with his family and community who advocated for his return, and I look forward to learning more about the terms of the agreement. I have been proud to work with Rep. Kamlager-Dove to demand his release and join Eyvin’s family and friends in celebrating his return home.” Sen. Alex Padilla, D-California, said, “A public defender and a beloved member of his community, Eyvin’s absence brought angst and fear to his loved ones for far too long. I am proud to have fought relentlessly alongside Eyvin’s family, friends, federal lawmakers, and the State Department’s Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs to secure his release.” Also among the Americans released Wednesday was Savoi Wright, who grew up in Oakland and earned a business degree at Loyola Marymount University. In exchange for the return of Americans, the United States agreed to release Alex Saab, a close ally of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. Saab had been awaiting trial on money laundering charges.

Series: Friends of the Court: SCOTUS Justices’ Beneficial Relationships With Billionaire Donors upreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ decadeslong friendship with real estate tycoon Harlan Crow and Samuel Alito’s luxury travel with billionaire Paul Singer have raised questions about influence and ethics at the nation’s highest court. For decades, judges have relied on a select group to make sure the judiciary adheres to the highest ethical standards: themselves. The Judicial Conference, a secretive, century-old council of federal judges led by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, oversees the ethics and financial disclosures for more than 1,700 federal judges, including the nine justices of the high court. Those financial disclosures, submitted yearly as a list of assets and gifts, are often the only window into whether judges with lifetime appointments have conflicts of interest as they rule on the country’s most consequential legal cases. The judiciary’s leaders argue that the conference has been an effective watchdog over America’s third branch of government. The conference’s authority plays an important role in judicial controversies and has been at the center of some defenses of the court following ProPublica’s reporting on possible ethical breaches. With its “sound structure of self-governance,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in 2021, “the Judicial Conference has been an enduring success.” In reality, the Judicial Conference has instead often protected, not policed, the judiciary, according to interviews and previously undisclosed internal documents. For decades, conference officials have repeatedly worked to preserve judges’ most coveted perks while thwarting congressional oversight and targeting “disloyal” figures in the judiciary who argued for reforms. In the mid-1990s, two judges — a member of the Supreme Court and a judge on the conference — arranged to obscure a legal publisher’s role in underwriting meetings for an awards ceremony attended by judges at lavish resorts in locales like the Virgin Islands and Hawaii. Years later, amid a

Senate-ordered audit of judges’ travel records, one of the conference’s top officials in Washington told the chief justice that he had ordered his staff “to present the data in a way to mitigate the damage.” Congress did not ultimately pass any of the bills being floated around the time to restrict gifts and travel. And when the judiciary clarified its rules on federal judges’ disclosures earlier this year, the final version was watered down, according to internal documents obtained by ProPublica. The goal behind some of the proposed edits, a staff attorney explained in an email to a subordinate, was to avoid “drawing bright lines.” The conference, which sets procedures and rules for all federal courtrooms, coordinates an array of committees run by judges appointed by the chief justice. One of these, the Financial Disclosure Committee, is responsible for enforcing Watergateera transparency laws and handling the rare allegation that a judge may have knowingly filed a false disclosure report. Across the federal government, financial disclosures and potential conflicts of interest are self-reported. But experts say the judiciary has the least oversight of all three branches. Members of the House and Senate face bipartisan ethics committees. Top officials at the White House and agencies like the Department of Defense need to have their disclosures cleared by an independent ethics office. Inspectors general can investigate and refer cases to

the Department of Justice. The enforcement capability of the judiciary’s Financial Disclosure Committee was tested in 2011, when Justice Clarence Thomas was accused of failing to disclose the source of his wife’s income, as well as potential free flights on real estate developer Harlan Crow’s private jet. The conference promised to look into it. Instead, ProPublica found, two successive Financial Disclosure Committee chairs decided behind closed doors to end the inquiry at the outset and chose not to seek any evidence before the committee announced that it hadn’t seen any to support the allegations. Even one of the Financial Disclosure Committee’s main functions — making sure judges’ self-reported income, assets and gifts comply with the law — is designed to help judges, not hold them accountable, according to nine federal judges and current and former staffers. Most of that daily work is farmed out to an obscure government agency known as the Administrative Office. The Administrative Office, which answers to the Judicial Conference, had only about 12 full-time staffers in its financial disclosure division in 2022 and a rotating crew of temps. They review more than 4,000 disclosure reports each year. Instead of closely scrutinizing those disclosures, staff relies on the “honor system,” several of the people said. Former officials at the Administrative Office say the unit is so mismanaged that a program assistant who orders office supplies and

furniture has been tasked with helping review disclosures; staffers without law degrees have routinely given legal advice to judges; and some employees, including temps, have opted to simply fill out judges’ disclosures for them before signing off on those very same reports. Wendy Smith, a former top attorney at the Administrative Office’s financial disclosure division, said the agency was structured to give the judiciary the appearance of complying with transparency laws, when it actually doesn’t. “They do not have a functioning financial disclosure and ethics program,” Smith said, “and I don’t believe they want one.” In response to interview requests and a detailed list of questions, the agency said in a statement that it’s not a regulator and “the Judiciary has in place a robust and sound set of policies and procedures for facilitating compliance” with transparency laws, “designed to promote confidence in government.” The office declined to answer any of the specific questions “because many of them seem to be predicated on false or distorted premises.” The agency did not elaborate. Roberts and Thomas did not respond to a list of ProPublica’s extensive questions. Last month, the Supreme Court adopted its first-ever code of conduct but stopped short of defining an enforcement mechanism. That, coupled with the Judicial Conference’s record, has led some observers to assert that See Judiciary Page 4

Judiciary the new rules will ultimately change little. That’s the way some judges like it. “The vast majority of judges willingly comply with the rules,” Robert Loesche, who was the top lawyer at the Administrative Office for years, told ProPublica. “But there’s a minority of judges out there who push the envelope of judicial independence and don’t want their behavior monitored.” “I’m Telling You: Nothing” In 2011, lawmakers and advocacy groups filed a series of complaints against Thomas. The Heritage Foundation, a prominent conservative think tank, had paid his wife, Ginni Thomas, nearly $700,000 over multiple years. Common Cause, a nonpartisan watchdog group, revealed that Thomas didn’t report that source of income on his financial disclosures, despite a legal requirement to do so. The New York Times also raised the possibility that Thomas may have flown on Crow’s jet at least three times. If Thomas had, in fact, taken those flights and Crow footed the bill, the justice failed to disclose that, too. The conference told the lawmakers and Common Cause that the Financial Disclosure Committee would look into both issues. Early in 2012, the committee held a meeting. Some of the judges in attendance expected a serious conversation about how to handle the matter. If there is “reasonable cause” to believe a judge might have intentionally falsified a disclosure or omitted information, the conference, through the Financial Disclosure Committee, is supposed to refer the case to the attorney general. Instead, the committee’s chair, a Kentucky district judge and President Bill Clinton appointee named Joseph H. McKinley Jr., said immediately that he had decided to end the inquiry, explaining that Thomas already amended his filings to include Ginni’s source of income, according to one of the judges in the room. McKinley asked the committee to bless his decision. The attendee interpreted that request as political cover for what was already a foregone conclusion. McKinley did not mention the plane travel, this judge said. McKinley noted that the previous committee chair, senior federal appellate Judge Bobby R. Baldock, a President Ronald Reagan

appointee, had also concluded months earlier that there was no reason to look more closely. But two judges who sat on Baldock’s committee at the time told ProPublica that Baldock had never discussed any of the allegations with the full committee. Now, during the 2012 meeting, two other members of McKinley’s committee said they wanted more information on the circumstances of Thomas’ alleged lapses. At a minimum, the pair of judges said, the committee should ask the justice directly about how he came to omit something as basic as the source of his wife’s income, which Thomas had previously reported. The matter went to a vote. McKinley prevailed. That April, he told the Administrative Office he was dropping the inquiry. The potential undisclosed travel never came up at all, according to one of the attendees. There’s no evidence that any judiciary officials ever investigated whether Thomas was on board the flights and, if so, whether he broke the law by not disclosing it. Asked about the lack of an investigation into Thomas’ possible trips on Crow’s jet, one former Administrative Office official shrugged. “How would you address it otherwise?” the official said. “‘Hey justice, did you ever take a flight?’” McKinley did not respond to requests for comment. Baldock declined to comment. The Administrative Office has said that both judges followed protocol and also referred the matter to

a smaller group of judges, known as the subcommittee on compliance. The agency did not provide ProPublica with evidence of those conversations. The handling of the Thomas issue doesn’t surprise lawyers and judges familiar with the disclosure committee’s role. Four former committee members said that although they were responsible for enforcing transparency laws, they understood that they had no actual power or personnel to conduct investigations. In the decades since the ethics law passed, the conference has never referred a single case of a potentially falsified report to the Justice Department for further review. The judges at the appellate and district levels have long been governed by an ethics code and subject to misconduct investigations by local panels of colleagues. Experts have noted that there is no similar procedure for the Supreme Court justices. McKinley appears to have violated judiciary policy by not mentioning the Thomas matter or its resolution in the committee’s biannual reports to the conference, according to congressional testimony from Judge Mark Wolf, who was a member of the conference at the time and fought to get more information about the committee’s closed-door proceedings. Instead, Wolf testified, the situation was improperly kept from judges like him, and the entire affair was “shrouded in secrecy.” (According to the conference’s written policy, the

committee’s reports are supposed to be public, but the Administrative Office has declined to provide the 2011 and 2012 documents to ProPublica. The policy itself is not public; ProPublica obtained a copy.) Thomas did not respond to detailed questions about the episode. On Dec. 11, his friend Mark Paoletta, who has attended vacations with Thomas and once represented Ginni as her attorney, wrote in a piece that ran in The Federalist that he “obtained” those questions. He wrote that Thomas acted consistently with transparency laws and that the conference did not need to investigate because Thomas was not required to disclose private jet travel. The Ethics in Government Act explicitly requires justices to file accurate financial disclosures annually. “The more reasonable interpretation was that the law does and did cover those types of gifts,” said Jeremy Fogel, a former federal judge who served on the Financial Disclosure Committee for seven years. “The overarching purpose of the legislation was to cover situations like this.” Other judges and court observers have offered a more institutional explanation for the committee’s apparent unwillingness to investigate Thomas: The Judicial Conference may have no authority over Supreme Court justices to begin with. “You have to go a long way before you get lowercourt judges to call a Supreme Court Justice onto

the carpet,” said Russell Wheeler, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute and one of the country’s preeminent experts on the federal courts. Few publicly raised questions at the time about whether the committee lacked jurisdiction. Instead, the conference told Congress that “nothing had been presented to support a determination” that the justice had improperly failed to report gifts of travel. That statement has since been repeatedly cited as an exoneration. “The Judicial Conference issued a letter confirming that Justice Thomas had not improperly failed to disclose information concerning his travel,” Thomas’ attorney, Elliot Berke, wrote in August. “That couldn’t be further from the truth,” one of the judges on the 2012 committee told ProPublica, noting there was only brief discussion of the committee’s limited remit and no effort to actually investigate the allegations against Thomas. “I’m telling you: nothing.” Now the Supreme Court is embroiled in the worst ethics scandal in a generation. ProPublica and other outlets have detailed lavish gifts and trips that ultrawealthy conservatives have given to Thomas and, and in one instance, to Justice Samuel Alito. They failed to disclose the largesse, including private plane rides — the same alleged lapse that the Judicial Conference balked at 11 years ago. (Thomas has since acknowledged he should have reported a real estate transaction with Crow

and amended a past disclosure to reflect the sale.) In recent months, some Democratic lawmakers have once again called for the Judicial Conference to investigate Thomas and refer the case to the attorney general. And again, the conference referred their complaints to the Financial Disclosure Committee. The Administrative Office has declined to explain where the process stands or how the Judicial Conference has squared its duty to enforce the financial disclosure law while possibly lacking the ability — or authority — to investigate the circumstances surrounding justices’ omissions or inaccuracies. Judges and Kings The conference’s 2012 handling of the Thomas affair was emblematic of its deferential treatment of judges, according to documents and officials. For years, judicial leaders insisted on preserving perks like free travel and deflected calls for congressional reform when the gifts came to light. In 1995, the Minneapolis Star Tribune revealed that multiple Supreme Court justices, including liberals and conservatives, had gone on opulent trips funded by West Publishing ahead of a prestigious judicial honor known as the Devitt Awards. West then enjoyed a near-monopoly on publishing federal court records, an indispensable legal research tool used by lawyers and judges across the country. The Star Tribune reported that the company had hosted the justices and other federal judges on the awards’ selection committee at luxury resorts, trips worth as much as $7,700 per judge. One former justice, Lewis Powell Jr., had written letters asking the company to choose the U.S. Virgin Islands or Palm Beach, Florida, “on the water, superior facilities, and affording many interesting things to do and places to see — particularly for our ladies.” Justices who attended later decided favorably for West by declining to hear multiple cases that its legal opponents had appealed to the Supreme Court. (Denying such appeals is routine. The justices agree to hear only a small fraction of cases brought to them.) Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., requested hearings to launch an investigation. Responsibility for containing the damage fell to a pugnacious official who served as then-Chief Justice William Rehnquist’s eyes and ears See Judiciary Page 5

Judiciary in Washington: L. Ralph Mecham. Mecham, a former oil and mining executive and lobbyist, had become the director of the Administrative Office in 1985 and would serve until 2006. The director is also the secretary of the Judicial Conference. Congress created the Administrative Office in 1939 as an alternative to the Justice Department, which had been in charge of running the courts’ day-today operations. Mecham never saw himself as a judicial watchdog. In letters to friends and colleagues, he described his role variously as a “servant,” “ally” or “fireplug” for judges under constant assault by reporters and Congress for, among other things, undisclosed junkets. For this story, ProPublica reviewed hundreds of contemporaneous notes, letters and other memos archived at multiple universities. The legal community began to realize the Administrative Office had effectively become the judiciary’s lobbying and public relations arm. In the 1990s, when critics said the agency was behaving too much like an advocate for judges, officials with the agency responded that they were proud to be “guilty” of the charge. During his tenure, Mecham’s primary allegiance was to his boss, Rehnquist. The two had regular written correspondence and meetings. (Both men are now dead.) At the height of the questions about the Devitt Awards, Mecham left a message with Rehnquist’s assistant saying that “he wonders if someone shouldn’t call Senator [Orrin] Hatch to have him call Senator Specter to persuade him to withdraw his request to investigate the Devitt Award,” according to the assistant’s notes of the conversation. It’s unclear if Rehnquist made such a call. But 10 days later, Mecham reported in a confidential letter that he’d learned Hatch considered Specter’s proposed investigation “ridiculous” and said there would never be hearings on the matter. Meanwhile, Ralph Nader, the consumer activist, wrote to Rehnquist about the scandal to ask for a prohibition on such trips. As pressure mounted, Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was on the Devitt Awards committee, discussed an alternate plan with the CEO of West Publishing:

The company could give a grant to an organization like the American Judicature Society, which would then administer the awards and host the committee meetings. Kennedy relayed his efforts to Richard S. Arnold, a judicial conference judge and fellow member of the awards committee, and asked him to call West to voice his support for the plan. Arnold wrote in a memo afterwards, “Even though the money will come from a grant by West, this would apparently purge whatever taint exists in the eyes of Mr. Nader or others, and the issue of the propriety of my participation in the administrative decisions affecting legal publishers would disappear.” Two months later, the society announced it was taking over the Devitt Awards, with funding from West. (A spokesperson for the company said at the time that the move had been years in the making.) Congress did not hold hearings on the matter. Kennedy, who retired in 2018, did not respond to requests for comment. Arnold died in 2004. At the time, several judges said there was nothing inappropriate about the trips because they were disclosed and it hadn’t impacted their rulings. Following the Devitt stories, there was more press coverage about federal judges taking extended travel to seminars hosted by private interests and sometimes failing to disclose the trips. Critics noted that the sponsoring corporations and foundations often promoted a free-market, pro-industry ideology while educating judges on issues like regulation. Iowa Republican Sen. Charles Grassley launched an audit of judges’ travel in 1997. The Government Accountability Office collected individual judges’ travel records. (The GAO has no authority over the Supreme Court, one of the only institutions outside Congress with that immunity.) Mecham had long feared that Grassley was “going after judges” and tried multiple times to gather intelligence by finding out who was speaking to the senator’s staff and what they provided to the GAO. “I think the judiciary is facing serious problems with respect to the travel issue,” Mecham told one of the conference committees as the data started coming in. But he added a reassurance

the next day: “I have asked my staff to do everything they can to present the data in a way to mitigate the damage.” It’s unclear how they carried out that plan. Grassley’s probe eventually resulted in lengthy reports detailing thousands of judges’ trips, from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Panama, funded by taxpayers or private interests. In the end, though, Congress imposed no new travel restrictions on judges. In an interview with ProPublica, Mecham’s former associate director, Clarence Lee, defended his boss, saying the Administrative Office can successfully help enforce transparency laws and hold the judiciary accountable. He said the agency often drew the ire of judges because it disciplined their clerks for infractions like misusing office computers. Lee dismissed congressional probes as political stunts. “Any mechanism put in place that allows a secondary group to second guess their [judges’] behavior can have draconian results,” he said. “You don’t have an inspector general for kings or judges because then you’d no longer have a king or a judge.” In the early 2000s, public concern and political pressure continued. One study conducted by a public-interest law firm found that nearly a quarter of the judiciary had traveled to at least one seminar put on by conservative groups between 1992 and 1998. These events were often at resorts while some of the judges in attendance were trying cases those groups had a stake in. And almost 1 out of every 9 federal judges — appointed by both Democratic and Republican presidents — had failed to report a privately funded trip during that same stretch, according to the study, which made national headlines. Some judges on the conference broke ranks and advocated internally for reform. Mecham urged Rehnquist to fire the outspoken apostates from their committee posts, “not only because they have been repeatedly disloyal to you but also because they have been disloyal to the Judicial Conference.” Abner Mikva, then a retired federal appellate judge, leading liberal congressman and personal mentor to Barack Obama, went public. He submitted an article to a law review journal titled “Judges,

Junkets and Seminars.” “It grieves me that so many judges feel threatened by proposals to change the present system,” wrote Mikva, who died in 2016. “If that large a portion of the public — legislators, the media, lawyers, litigants — sees a problem, then it is a problem that needs redressing.” “Looking in the mirror,” he added, “is not enough to guarantee the perception of honesty and integrity that has to be the touchstone of a successful judicial system.” In the aftermath, the Judicial Conference made some concessions on travel rules, including a requirement for seminars to report their funders before judges can attend and better public access to financial disclosures. But the judiciary has largely managed to prevent substantive reform from Congress, including at least two failed Senate bills that would have restricted travel and gifts or created an independent ethics monitor. Twenty-Something Temps The Administrative Office does not consider itself a regulator. But staff inside its tiny financial disclosure division are responsible for screening judges’ financial disclosures. Employees there describe a flawed process. Those who examine the disclosure forms are often temps. Two former examiners told ProPublica they did not recall any training on how to review the gift portion of the reports. And since 2019, they no longer compare judges’ assets on their current disclosure with the previous year’s, which many staffers had considered the bare minimum of due diligence. The committee decided it “could rely on the filer’s certification that the report is accurate,” according to a recent Judicial Conference report. If someone does happen to catch something that may be wrong with a report, it is typically handled with a letter asking the judge to fix it. One former temp, who was hired straight out of college, said most of the supervision she received was about using proper grammar in her emails. “Guys have been on the bench for 20 years and the last thing they want to do is talk to a 20-year-old who’s telling them they’re not doing their job right,” said another examiner. Staffers without law degrees have routinely given ad hoc legal guidance to judges about their finan-

cial disclosures because of staffing shortages, one former Administrative Office official told ProPublica. Contemporaneous notes also show that’s been an internal practice. “That’s awful,” said Peter McCabe, who was a top official at the agency for decades. “I can’t believe that.” After senior staff sign off on the work, the disclosures are sent to the Financial Disclosure Committee for final approval, which is largely ceremonial, said three former committee judges. “It’s an assurance that a report has been filed,” one told ProPublica. “Is it truthful? I have no idea.” Two said they didn’t receive any ethics training for how to interpret and apply the Ethics in Government Act and instead relied on the same standards they applied on their own disclosures. The process amounts to the “honor system,” six former staffers and judges on the Financial Disclosure Committee said. Federal law requires the disclosures to be made available 30 days after being filed. In June, ProPublica asked the Administrative Office for dozens of disclosures. But the agency still hasn’t released them, citing a backlog of requests. The judiciary has “redaction authority” to remove parts of judges’ disclosures from public view. It’s meant to be invoked if revealing something, like a home address, would pose a security threat for judges or their family. The Administrative Office told ProPublica the authority “is strictly interpreted and applied.” However, a 2018 GAO report found nearly one in four requested redactions was for something other than an obvious security risk. Some judges redacted gifts they had received or the value of their stocks. On top of that, the GAO found, the Administrative Office has at times ignored its legal requirement to submit annual reports to Congress on how judges are using their redaction authority. Staff inside the office also play a crucial role in shaping the judiciary’s rules for what gifts judges can accept and what they need to disclose. That, too, has at times been used as an opportunity to help judges preserve their perks, records and interviews show. In late 2022, after decades of criticism, the judicial conference began work to refine the language about financial disclosure requirements in the judi-

ciary’s rules. When the new wording came out in March, it did not substantively change its rules about what fell under the controversial personal hospitality exception. Instead, the conference merely made explicit that judges must disclose gifts of transportation, like private jet rides. In a recent report to the conference, the committee itself characterized the update as “clarifying.” An initial proposal for the March update had gone further, according to internal documents. Lawyers at the Administrative Office provided an analysis for the Financial Disclosure Committee laying out how the Senate defined personal hospitality more strictly and gave a proposal for some new, more prescriptive language. The update would have imposed tighter disclosure requirements for when a judge gets a free stay at someone’s house. That language was softened before the final cut. The draft language required stays to be disclosed if that property gets “rented out to others other than on an occasional basis.” The final guidance, however, lowered that threshold and instead requires judges to disclose the gift only when they’ve stayed at a property that’s “regularly rented out to others for a business purpose.” The goal for some of the other proposed edits, deputy general counsel Laurina Spolidoro explained in an email obtained by ProPublica, was to present “a consideration of factors” to judges “rather than drawing bright lines.” To Smith, Spolidoro’s subordinate at the time, the message was clear: judges wanted the ability to continue accepting certain gifts without having to disclose them. Spolidoro did not respond to requests for comment, but an Administrative Office spokesperson refuted Smith’s characterizations and said those in the office take their job seriously. Smith said she quit the Administrative Office because she wasn’t allowed to do her job as an ethics attorney, and when she tried to make changes to the financial disclosure program, she was stripped of her duties. Smith said she was told by Spolidoro and others that “the judiciary is outside the Ethics in Government Act.” Republished with Creative Commons License (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0).

Reports: Paramount, Warner Bros. Discovery in early merger talks

2 unions call for weeklong strike against CSU in late January

By City News Service

S

etting up a potentially landscape-changing deal for Hollywood, executives of Paramount Global and Warner Bros. Discovery have met and had initial discussions about a possible merger of the media giants, according to multiple reports. Axios first reported that Paramount CEO Bob Bakish and Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav met this week in New York City to begin discussions about a possible joining of the companies. Axios and other outlets reported that Zaslav has also discussed the idea with Shari Redstone, the head of National Amusements, the majority shareholder of Paramount. Although the talks were described as extremely preliminary, news of the discussions raised eyebrows in Hollywood as a possible further consolidation of power in the entertainment world. Multiple reports suggested that both companies are coping with substantial debts that are weighing on stock

prices, even as both sink more money into the burgeoning world of streaming entertainment. According to Axios, Warner Bros. Discovery had a value of about $29 billion, while Paramount was valued at around $10 billion. The outlet reported that a combination of the companies could result in a mingling of Paramount+ and Max, creating a powerhouse streaming offering to rival Netflix and

Disney+. A merger could also lead to the creation of a major worldwide news powerhouse, with the combining of CBS News and CNN. Axios noted that there was confidence the proposal would survive regulatory antitrust scrutiny, in part because Warner Bros. Discovery does not own a broadcast network, making it an easier sell than a merger between Paramount and Comcast, which owns NBC.

T

wo labor unions representing faculty and other higher education workers Wednesday announced a weeklong strike across all California State University campuses in late January. Teamsters Local 2010, which represents more than 17,000 clerical, administrative and skilled trade workers in the UC and CSU systems, called for the strike following what they say was the CSU system’s “repeated refusal to bargain in good faith and treat workers with respect.” “Teamsters members do the essential work that keeps the (CSUs) running, yet CSU continues to show no appreciation or respect to workers. We are standing strong in our union and our alliance with faculty, and we will remain united until the CSU bargains in good faith for the fair contracts we deserve,” SecretaryTreasurer of Teamsters Local 2010 Jason Rabinowitz said in a statement. Cal State officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. According to Rabinowitz, the union has tried for months to reach an agreement on a contract that improves “stagnant wages and ensures fair treatment.” In late January, more than 1,110 CSU skilled trades workers are expected to strike at all Teamsters-represented campuses, and at the Office of the Chancellor.

The union is demanding a salary step system to resolve what it called decades of wage stagnation for skilled trade workers. Approximately 82% of CSU skilled trade workers earn below the median of their salary ranges, even after decades of service, the union said, adding that CSU pay lags compared to UC skilled trade workers by 23.6% on average. The union alleges that in recent months the CSU has committed unfair labor practices, such as interfering with workers’ rights to engage in union activities and threatening retaliation for participating in a strike action. The strike is planned for Jan. 22-26 across the CSU system, coinciding with the beginning of the spring semester. The California Faculty Association, representing more than 29,000 faculty, lecturers, librarians, counselors and coaches, announced Wednesday afternoon that its members will also strike on those days for a “better, more just CSU.” According to the CFA, CSU management has rejected their calls for 12% wage hikes this academic year plus other concessions, including better parental leave, workload support and health and safety rights. The CFA held multiple one-day strikes in November for similar reasons. CSU officials previously said that while they are

prepared to agree to many of the CFA’s demands contained in a neutral fact-finder report, a 12% general salary increase is not sustainable for the university system. “CSU strives to provide fair, competitive pay and benefits for all of our employees,” Leora Freedman, CSU’s vice chancellor for human resources, said in a statement. “We recognize the need to increase compensation and are committed to doing so, but our financial commitments must be fiscally sustainable.” As for CFA’s one-day strikes, Freedman indicated that such actions are often part of negotiations. “We respect the right of our labor unions to engage in strike activities, and we are prepared to minimize any disruptions to our campuses,” she said then. “Our hope is that the planned strike activities pose no hardships on our students and that we can get back to the bargaining table as soon as possible with the CFA to come to an agreement.” The strikes are not a certainty, however, as both unions took part in talks last week. Teamsters officials said their bargaining team is engaging in “fact- finding” with the CSU and a stateappointed arbitrator for about three days this week, while the CFA bargaining team has also returned to the table to discuss proposals.

USC study: Broadband access remains high in California households By City News Service

R

oughly 91% of California households have access to high-speed internet at home, roughly the same rate as 2021, but there was a drop in broadband access in households with school-aged children, according to a study released last week by USC and the California Emerging Technology Fund. “There was significant progress in reducing the number of under-connected households,” Hernán Galperin, the study’s lead researcher and a professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism, said in a statement. “However, our latest data also point to the sobering reality of the challenges in reaching the

most digitally disadvantaged households.” According to the study, the percentage of under-connected households -- those with only a smartphone -- was cut in half from 6% in 2021 to 3% this year. But the report noted a dropoff in broadband access for households with schoolage children, falling from 97% in 2021 to 93% in 2021. The report’s authors attributed the drop to an end of pandemicera school programs that provided internet service for families to accommodate online learning. Likely for the same reason, the percentage of children who had a non-shared desktop, laptop or tablet computer available for school

activities fell from 95% in 2021 to 72% this year, according to the report. The report found improvements in broadband access among several “disadvantaged” groups, such as households with disabilities, in which access jumped from 83% in 2021 to 91% in 2023. Among households with adults aged 60 and older, access increased from 78% in 2021 to 90% in 2023, while among adults without a highschool degree, access went from 64% in 2021 to 79% this year. “We now know we still have some miles to go for Californians to achieve full adoption,” Sunne Wright McPeak, president and CEO of CETF, said in a statement.

“The survey confirms that affordability remains the major barrier to broadband

adoption and underscores the need to ensure that lowincome households always

will have affordable home internet service available to them.”

Airbnb to use AI tech to help clampdown on NYE parties By City News Service

W

ith New Year’s Eve just two weeks away, Airbnb last week announced it will implement AI technology to help reduce the risk of unauthorized and disruptive parties around the world, including in Los Angeles. According to the company, the technology will help enforce restrictions on certain NYE bookings in several countries and regions, such as the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, the United Kingdom, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. Last year, Airbnb implemented anti-party measures which resulted in a decrease of thousands of party reports over NYE. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’ office and Council President Paul Krekorian’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the announcement. Airbnb said the aim of the system is to try to identify one, two and three night booking attempts for

entire home listings over the holiday weekend that could be potentially higher-risk for a disruptive and unauthorized party incident and block those bookings from being made. The technology will look at hundreds of signals such as the duration of the trip the guest is trying to book, how far the listing is from the guests’ location, the type of listing they’re booking and if the reservation is being made at the last-minute, among other criteria. “When it comes to how we use technology like AI, we’re focused on taking a thoughtful approach that aims to benefit hosts, guests and neighborhoods,” Naba Banerjee, head of trust and safety at Airbnb, said in a statement. Banerjee added, “We’re optimistic these measures will help a positive impact for the communities we serve.” The company said it would block certain one to three night entire home

bookings if they are identified as potentially higher-risk for a party. They will also make it a requirement for local guests to attest they understand the company’s policy banning parties. If guests break the rules, they may face suspension or removal from the platform. Airbnb implemented anti-party measures last NYE, which resulted in thousands of people globally being blocked from booking on their platform. Almost 63.5 million people in the U.S., 13.2 million in the United Kingdom, and 5,400 in Australia. The company first introduced party prevention measures in 2020, and over the years party reports continue to decline. Airbnb’s global party ban includes a reservation screening year round, a free noise sensor technology for hosts, a Neighborhood Support Line, where local community members can report urgent

Man pictured as naked baby on Nirvana album wins lawsuit appeal By Fred Shuster, City News Service

A

federal appeals court Thursday revived a previously dismissed lawsuit for alleged child sexual exploitation brought by a Los Angeles man pictured as a naked infant over 30 years ago on the cover of the groundbreaking Nirvana album “Nevermind.” Spencer Elden sought personal injury damages from the now-defunct group’s company, various record companies and art directors on the grounds that he was a victim of child pornography when, as a 4-month-old baby, he was photographed naked in a pool for the cover of the multimillion-selling 1991 album. The district court dismissed the action last year as barred by the 10-year statute of limitations. A panel of the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the dismissal and sent the case back to Los Angeles federal court for further proceedings, finding that because each republication of the cover photo may constitute a new personal injury, the

plaintiff’s complaint was not barred by the statute of limitations. “The album cover art has become iconic and highly recognizable,” Judge Sandra S. Ikuta, who was nominated to the court by President George W. Bush, wrote for the panel. “It has been displayed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York and has been frequently referenced, imitated and parodied. Commentators have opined that the naked infant reaching for a dollar symbolizes the ills of a capitalistic society.” Elden, 32, alleged that the defendants — Nirvana’s company; the individual band members, including Kurt Cobain’s estate, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic; Universal Music Group; The David Geffen Company; MCA Records; and photographer Kirk Weddle — caused him to suffer “lifelong damages” by “trafficking” his image worldwide. The lawsuit argued that the cover image suggests a “sex worker grabbing for a dollar bill.”

The Woodland Hills man brought the initial August 2021 suit against the grunge-rock trio under a federal statute which allows victims of child pornography to recover damages for violations of child porn laws. “Spencer’s victimization as a child remains frozen in time,” Margaret Mabie, one of Elden’s lawyers, said in a statement provided to City News Service at the time of the appeal. “His childhood self continues to be invaded and he will be repeatedly victimized as long as the ‘Nevermind’ cover continues to be distributed.” Nirvana attorney Bert H. Deixler said the ruling Thursday is a “procedural setback” that “does not change our view. We will defend this meritless case with vigor and expect to prevail.” According to the lawsuit, the defendants “knowingly produced, possessed and advertised commercial child pornography depicting Spencer, and they knowingly received value in exchange

for doing so. ... Despite this knowledge, defendants failed to take reasonable steps to protect Spencer and prevent his widespread sexual exploitation and image trafficking.” Elden’s parents never signed a release authorizing the use of the photos taken of the 4-month-old baby in a Pasadena aquatic center in 1990 and Elden received no compensation, the suit alleges. But defendants including Courtney Love, executor for the estate of late Nirvana leader Cobain argued in their court papers that Elden seemed to enjoy being the “Nirvana baby” and even has a “Nevermind” tattoo. “He has re-enacted the photograph in exchange for a fee, many times; he has had the album title ... tattooed across his chest; he has appeared on a talk show wearing a selfparodying, nude-colored onesie; he has autographed

copies of the album cover for sale on eBay; and he has used the connection to try to pick up women,” according to a defense motion to dismiss. Elden sought a jury trial and $150,000 from each of the 15 defendants or unspecified damages to be determined. The cover of “Nevermind” — released 32 years ago by the Geffen/UMG label — depicts a naked baby swimming underwater, seemingly toward a fish hook with a dollar bill attached. It is among the best-known album covers in rock. “To ensure the album cover would trigger a visceral sexual response from the viewer, (photographer Kirk) Weddle activated Spencer’s ‘gag reflex’ before throwing him underwater in poses highlighting and emphasizing Spencer’s exposed genitals,” Elden’s suit alleges. Elden contends that

the defendants “used child pornography depicting Spencer as an essential element of a record promotion scheme commonly utilized in the music industry to get attention, wherein album covers posed children in a sexually provocative manner to gain notoriety, drive sales and garner media attention and critical reviews.” As a result, Elden “has suffered and will continue to suffer lifelong damages,” according to the complaint. Geffen Records originally shipped 46,521 copies of “Nevermind” to retailers in hopes of eventually selling 200,000 copies. The album, a cornerstone of the grunge era, eventually sold over 30 million copies. In an interview with the Vulture website, former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters leader Grohl commented on Elden’s suit: “Listen, he’s got a ‘Nevermind’ tattoo. I don’t.”

Trustee Notices APN: 8549-025-045 TS No.: 23-05855CA TSG Order No.: 230175566 NOTICE OF TRUSTEE SALE UNDER DEED OF TRUST YOU ARE IN DEFAULT UNDER A DEED OF TRUST DATED AUGUST 23, 2005. UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. Affinia Default Services, LLC, as the duly appointed Trustee, under and pursuant to the power of sale contained in that certain Deed of Trust Recorded August 25, 2005 as Document No.: 05 2046580 of Official Records in the office of the Recorder of Los Angeles County, California, executed by: Eleuterio Raul Cruz, a widow, as Trustor, will be sold AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER for cash (payable in full at time of sale by cash, a cashier’s check drawn by a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association, or savings bank specified in section 5102 of

LEGALS the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state). All right, title and interest conveyed to and now held by it under said deed of trust in the property situated in said county and state, and as more fully described in the above referenced deed of trust. Sale Date: January 9, 2024 Sale Time: 10:00 AM Sale Location: Behind the fountain located in Civic Center Plaza, 400 Civic Center Plaza, Pomona, CA 91766 File No.:23-05855CA The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 12132 Deana Street, El Monte, CA 91732. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made in an “AS IS” condition, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said note(s), advances, if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to-wit: $0.00 (Estimated). Accrued interest and additional advances, if any, will increase this figure prior to sale. It is possible that at the time of sale the opening bid may be less than the total indebtedness due. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call, (916) 939-0772 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this internet website, www.nationwideposting.com, for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case, T.S.# 23-05855CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the internet website. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (916) 939-0772, or visit this internet website www.nationwideposting.com, using the file number assigned to this case 23-05855CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. File No.:23-05855CA If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse.

KALLOCH 2002 PERSONAL TRUST, and DOES 1 to 10 Defendants. THE ESTATE OF ANTHONY KALLOCH Cross-Complainant, vs. NOVOTNY’S ESTATE SALE SERVICES, and ROES 1 to 10 Cross-Defendants. Case No.: 23GDCV00649 FIRST AMENDED CROSS-COMPLAINT Dept: D Judge: Hon. Ralph C. Hofer Action Filed: 03/30/2023 Trial Date: Not set Defendant/Cross-Complainant THE ESTATE OF ANTHONY KALLOCH alleges as follows: Cross-Complainant’s Factual Allegations

1. Cross-Complainant is informed and believes, and upon such information and belief alleges, that at all times herein relevant, Cross-Defendant NOVOTNY’S ESTATE SALE SERVICES is an entity doing business in Los Angeles County and is a business entity of unknown nature in the State of California. The incident that gives rise to this action took place in Los Angeles County. 2. Cross-Complainant hired CrossDefendant NOVOTNY’S ESTATE SALE SERVICES, a moving company to move ANTHONY L KALLOCH’s personal property out of Cross 1 Complainant’s Unit 201. 3. Cross-Defendant expressly warranted and represented to the CrossComplainant that they would handle the Cross-Complainant’s property with utmost care and in accordance with industry standards. 4. Cross-Defendant caused damage to the fire sprinkler system within Unit 201. 5. The damage to the fire sprinkler caused significant water damage to Cross Complainant’s unit, surrounding units and common area, causing substantial monetary losses and emotional distress to Cross-Complainant. 6. Cross-Complainant does not know the true names and capacities, whether individual, corporate, associate or otherwise, of the Cross-Defendants sued herein under the fictitious names ROES 1 through 20, inclusive, but in this connection, Cross-Complainant alleges that the Cross Defendants sued herein as ROES 1 through 20, inclusive, were liable to Cross-Complainant for indemnity based on their conduct in connection with Plaintiff’s claimed damages upon the principles of implied indemnity; and Cross-Complainant further alleges that all of the Cross-Defendants sued herein by a fictitious name are jointly, severally, and concurrently liable and responsible with their above-named co-Cross-Defendants upon the causes of action hereinafter set forth and Cross Complainant prays leave of this court to insert by amendment the true names of the fictitiously named CrossDefendants when they become known to Cross-Complainant. FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION (Equitable Indemnity against CrossDefendant NOVOTYNY’S ESTATE SALE SERVICES, and 3 ROES 1 to 10) 7. Cross-Complainant hereby incorporates each and every allegation of paragraphs 1 through 6, inclusive, as if fully set forth herein. 8. Cross-Complainant has been sued in the principal action by Plaintiff, who seeks to recover damages as a result of the incident as alleged in the Complaint. Plaintiff has alleged that Defendant was in some manner responsible for the occurrence of said incident and the alleged damages. Cross-Complainant has filed an Answer to the Plaintiff’s Complaint and has denied any responsibility or liability whatsoever for the incident or damages allegedly sustained by Plaintiff. 9. While denying the allegations in the Complaint, Cross-Complainant provisionally alleges that should Plaintiff be found to have suffered damages as alleged, said damages were proximately caused or contributed to by the conduct of the Cross-Defendants. 10. Should this Cross-Complainant be held liable to the Plaintiff for damages as al-leged in the principal action, either by way of judgment or settlement, CrossComplainant is entitled by reason of principles of equity and justice to indemnity from and to be held harmless by CrossDefendants, and each of them, because of their conduct contributing to the underlying incident. Cross-Defendants’ negligence is premised on their damage to a sprinkler head that allegedly caused damage to Plaintiff’s unit. Evidence suggests that Cross-Defendants damaged the sprinkler head while moving items out of a unit owned by Cross-Complainant. 11. In the event Cross-Complainant is required to pay damage to the Plaintiff in excess of Cross-Complainant’s comparative share of those damages, if any, Cross-Complainant seeks and is entitled to be indemnified and to recover from Cross-Defendants, and each of them, on a comparative basis, in an amount which bears the same ratio to the total recovery of the Plaintiff as the ratio of fault each Cross-Defendant bears to the total fault of all persons whose conduct contributed to the Plaintiff’s damages, if any. 12. Cross-Complainant has necessarily incurred costs, investigative expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees to date, and will incur further costs, investigative expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees by reason of the principal action instituted against him by Plaintiff, and in pursuing this Cross-Complaint for full or partial indemnity and declaratory relief, will thereby sustain further monetary loss, and Cross-Complainant should be indemnified and held harmless by CrossDefendants, and each of them, for any such monetary losses incurred. SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION (Negligence against Cross-Defendant NOVOTNY’S ESTATE SALE SERVICES, and ROES 1 to 10) 13. Cross-Complainant hereby incorpo-rates each and every allegation of paragraphs 1 through 12, inclusive, as if fully set forth herein. 14. Cross-Defendant owed a duty of care to Cross-Complainant to handle their property with reasonable care and skill during the move to avoid reasonable and foreseeable injury to Cross Complainant, and knew or should have foreseen with reasonable certainty that the CrossComplainant would suffer monetary damages as set forth herein, if CrossDefendants failed to perform their work in Unit 201 in a proper and workmanlike manner.


LEGALS

HLRMedia.com 15. Cross-Defendant breached the duty of care owned to the CrossComplainant by failing to exercise the level of care and skill expected of a competent moving company and neglected to cause labor, work and services to be performed properly and adequately and negligently breaking a common area fire sprinkler while moving furniture in and out of Cross-Complainant’s Unit 201, resulting in damages to the Cross-Complainants and surrounding units causing a massive water intrusion and loss event in Unit 201 and surrounding units and those common areas making up the boundaries of the units. 16. As a direct and proximate result of the foregoing negligence, carelessness, and unworkmanlike conduct of CrossDefendants including the failure to perform and complete the work in a workmanlike manner, Cross-Complainants have suffered substantial damages, both general and special. The exact amount is currently unknown to Cross-Complainant. Cross-Complainant will establish the precise nature of such damages and their costs, including fees, according to proof at the time of trial. THIRD CAUSE OF ACTION (Recovery against the Bond of the Cross-Defendant NOVOTNY’S ESTATE SALE SERVICES, 3 and ROES 1 to 10) 17. Cross-Complainant realleges and incorporates herein by reference each and every allegation in paragraphs 1 through 16 inclusive, as though fully set forth therein. 18. Cross-Complainant is informed and believes, and based therein alleges, that upon the application of CrossDefendant NOVOTNY’S ESTATE SALE SERVICES and Roes 1 to 10, and each of them, to the Bureau of Household Goods and Services of the State of California in accordance with Section 19249 of the Business and Professions Code Cross-Defendant deposited with the Bureau a policy of insurance or bond issued by a licensed company authorized to write such insurance or surety bonds in the state in the sum of no less than $100,000 for an accident resulting in damage to or destruction of prop-erty, other than property being transported by the household mover for any shipper of consigner, whether it is the property of one or more than one claimant and inuring to the benefit of any person damaged as a result of such accident. 19. Cross-Complainant is informed and believes, and based thereon alleges, that in connection with moving CrossComplainant’s property from Unit 201, Cross-Defendant caused damage to Cross-Complainant’s property, unit and the surrounding units by breaking the fire sprinkler. Cross-Complainant is informed and believes, and based thereon alleges, that the breaking of the fire sprinkler by Cross-Defendant caused damages to Cross-Complainant’s property and unit. The exact amount is currently unknown to Cross-Complainant. Cross-Complainant will establish the precise nature of such damages and their costs, including fees, according to proof at the time of trial. 20. For the reasons set forth hereinabove, said Cross-Defendant, as surety, are indebted to Cross-Complainant in the full amount of the penal sum of the bond deposited with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services. FOURTH CAUSE OF ACTION (Declaratory Relief against NOVOYNY’S ESTATE SALE SERVICES, and ROES 1 to 10) 21. Cross-Complainant realleges and incorporates herein by reference each and every allegation in paragraphs 1 through 20 inclusive, as though fully set forth therein. 22. An actual controversy has arisen and now exists between CrossComplainant and Cross-Defendants, and each of them. Cross-Complainant contends that it is in no way legally responsible for the injuries or damages alleged to have been or to be sustained by Plaintiff. Cross Complainant further alleges that if, as a result of the matters alleged in Plaintiff’s Complaint, Cross Complainant is held liable for any part of the claim asserted against him, a declaration be made that the Cross-Defendants, and each of them, are obligated to totally or partially indemnify Cross-Complainant against any and all losses or expenses as may arise from the defense of the underlying action, in the prosecution of this Cross-Complaint, and from any judgment rendered or settlement reached in the underlying action, CrossDefendants, and each of them, denying said obligation. 23. A judicial determination of the rights, duties and responsibilities of the parties hereto is necessary and appropriate at this time.

LA County recovers potentially dangerous missing construction equipment

A

potentially dangerous piece of construction equipment that's used to measure the density of soil and roadway asphalt and went missing from a county truck in the Littlerock area was back in the hands of the county Department of Public Works Tuesday. The device, known as a thin layer density gauge, was reported missing Thursday by public works crews testing the thickness of the roadway at the intersection of 110th

By City News Service Street East and Avenue R-4. The gauge was last seen about 4 p.m. Thursday in the truck bed of a marked LA County Public Works vehicle. It remained unclear what happened to the device. Public Works officials warned last week that the density gauge, which uses x-ray-type radiation to measure roadway thickness, can be hazardous if mishandled or damaged, and radiation sickness could occur.

Late Monday night, Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger announced that a Littlerock resident had found the device and contacted her office. She said public works officials recovered the device and tested it, determining it was still intact and in working order. "I am pleased the lost tool was recovered," Barger said in a statement. "An individual contacted my office today to share that they had the gauge in their

possession. I'm glad that my message to the community to do their part, be vigilant, and contact officials if found was heeded by the public. "It's a big relief to know that no one was hurt by radiation sickness in the process of recovering it. However, this cannot happen again. I am calling on Public Works to immediately report back to the Board with a corrective action plan to ensure this type of risk to the public never materializes again."

Public works officials had offered a $1,000 reward for the device's return. It was

unclear if the person who contacted Barger's office would receive the money.

Monrovia man indicted with producing, distributing child sexual abuse material By Staff

A

federal grand jury has charged a Monrovia man with producing and distributing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) depicting himself sexually abusing a toddler, the Justice Department announced Wednesday. David Lisandro Perez

Figueroa, 22, of Monrovia, is charged in a two-count federal grand jury indictment with production of child pornography and distribution of child pornography. A federal grand jury returned the indictment on Tuesday. Figueroa’s arraignment is scheduled for Dec. 28

in United States District Court in downtown Los Angeles. Figueroa was arrested earlier this month, and a federal magistrate judge on Dec. 6 ordered him jailed without bond. According to the indictment, Figueroa coerced a 2-year-old child into engaging

in sexually explicit conduct with him for the purposes of making a visual depiction of the conduct. On July 22, Figueroa allegedly distributed the material by sending it on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in an account linked to Figueroa.

British law enforcement investigating a target in the United Kingdom discovered the X chat logs with child sexual abuse material and, soon after, notified federal law enforcement in the United States, according to court documents. Based on this information, federal agents

executed a search warrant at Figueroa’s residence on Dec. 5 and arrested him. If convicted of all charges, Figueroa would face a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years in federal prison and a statutory maximum sentence of 50 years in federal prison.

California law banning carrying firearms in most public places blocked by OC judge By City News Service

P

ortions of a state law that would have banned carrying firearms in most public places was blocked Wednesday by a Santa Ana federal judge, who ruled it violated the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney wrote that Senate Bill 2’s “coverage is sweeping, repugnant to the Second Amendment, and openly defiant of the Supreme Court.” Gov. Gavin Newsom, who signed the bill into law Sept. 26, said in a statement, “Defying common sense, this ruling outrageously calls California’s data-backed gun safety efforts ‘repugnant.’ What is repugnant is this ruling, which greenlights the proliferation of guns in our hospitals, libraries, and chil-

dren’s playgrounds -- spaces which should be safe for all.” The law, which goes into effect Jan. 1, bans licensed gun carriers from having their firearms on public transportation, at public gatherings and special events, in parks and at playgrounds, in stadiums, arenas and casinos, in medical facilities, religious institutions or financial institutions, anywhere that liquor is sold and consumed, in all other private commercial spaces where the owner has not explicitly posted a sign to the contrary, and in many parking areas, among other places. The law was considered a workaround to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. vs. Bruen, which held that sweeping restrictions on licensed gun holders

to carry their weapons in public were unconstitutional, in part because they stripped those people of their constitutional right to self-defense. In his ruling Wednesday, Carney, an appointee of President George W. Bush, said the new law went too far “as the ‘sensitive places’ exception cited by the Supreme Court had to do with relatively few, historically restricted places, not most public spaces in society.” Carney said an injunction against the law taking effect as litigation in the case continues was warranted because those suing the state over the measure are likely to win their case and would suffer “irreparable harm” if they weren’t allowed to carry their firearms in the meantime. Carney also said that

focusing new gun restrictions on people who have permits to carry guns in the state made little sense from his perspective. “Although the government may have some valid safety concerns, legislation regulating (concealed carry) permitholders -- the most responsible of law abiding citizens seeking to exercise their Second Amendment rights -- seems an odd and misguided place to focus to address those safety concerns,” Carney wrote. “They have been through a vigorous vetting and training process following their application to carry a concealed handgun,” he wrote. “The challenged SB 2 provisions unconstitutionally deprive this group of their constitutional right to carry a handgun in public for

self-defense.” Carney’s order applies to the “sensitive places” restrictions of SB 2 and does not apply to other parts of the new law that have to do with permitting rules. California Attorney General Rob Bonta said his office will file an appeal of Carney’s decision. “If allowed to stand, this decision would endanger communities by allowing guns in places where families and children gather,” Bonta said in a statement. “Guns in sensitive public places do not make our communities safer, but rather the opposite. “More guns in more sensitive places makes the public less safe; the data supports it. I have directed my team to file an appeal to overturn this decision. We believe the court got this wrong, and that SB

2 adheres to the guidelines set by the Supreme Court in Bruen. We will seek the opinion of the appellate court to make it right.” Chuck Michel, an attorney for the plaintiffs who sued the state to block the measure, praised Carney’s ruling. “California anti-gun owner politicians refuse to accept the Supreme Court’s mandate from the Bruen case and are trying every creative ploy they can imagine to get around it,” Michel said in a statement. “This law was an attempt to make permits to carry a firearm to defend yourself or your family useless because permit holders wouldn’t be able to drive across town without passing through a prohibited area and breaking the law.”

Reputed Orange County Mexican Mafia boss cleared of 1994 murder By City News Service

R

eputed Orange County Mexican Mafia chief Johnny Martinez won a major legal battle when an Orange County Superior Court judge vacated his second-degree murder conviction from the mid1990s, his attorney said Wednesday. Orange County Superior Court Judge Sheila Hanson ruled Monday in favor of Martinez in his bid to have his murder conviction tossed based on a new state law that redefined murder. Martinez was convicted in the fatal stabbing of 18-yearold Ricky Michaels of Placentia in March 1994 based on a legal theory at the time that any defendant involved in a murder would face the same charge as the killer. Lawmakers have changed the law to require more culpability on behalf of a co-defendant such as knowledge of the killer’s intent and some sort of direct involvement in helping the killer. Martinez’s attorney, Orly Ahrony, has been working on Martinez’s habeas case for the past 10 years. But the new law gave her attempts to exonerate Martinez new life. “For me to get to this

point and it come to fruition was absolutely incredible,” Ahrony told City News Service. “I’m very happy for him because he truly didn’t do anything.” Martinez and his friends got into a dispute during a pickup basketball game in which one teen said something insulting to another one of the boys, Ahrony said. The group decided to get together later to try to smooth things over when a series of brawls broke out and Juan Villanueva pulled out a knife and stabbed Michaels, Ahrony said. “It was literally some type of `yo mama’ joke,” that began the dispute, she said. “And when the apology went sour Rene Castro, the eldest of the group at 26, threw the first punch and then it went into chaos and everyone broke up into mini fights.” Martinez was standing to the side away from the fight at the time and had his back to the group when the first punch was thrown, Ahrony said. Villanueva carried a knife with him because ha had been shot at before that and wanted to protect himself, the attorney said.

Ahrony said Villanueva’s statements about what happened that day during his parole hearings helped bolster Martinez’s defense. Villanueva was granted parole in 2016, she said. Ahrony said that when the group got into the car to drive away from the melee that there was “stunned silence.” “The parole board asked (Villanueva) specifically what happened when they were in the car and he said everyone was quiet and shocked and asked why did you do that?” she said. “He took responsibility for all three stabbings.” His statements at the parole hearing bolstered the defense that Martinez and the others had no idea what Villanueva intended to do before the stabbings, Ahrony said. Hansen vacated the murder conviction and instead found Martinez guilty of three misdemeanor counts of assault and sentenced him to 18 months in jail. Martinez had more than enough time already served behind bars to cover the sentence. This leaves Martinez now free of all of the state court cases against him.

Martinez was charged in a case accusing him and others in the January 2017 killing of 35-year-old Robert Rios in Placentia and then a later attempted murder of Greg Munoz, who was a co-defendant in the Rios killing. However, the case was beset by legal problems, prompting prosecutors to get an indictment from a grand jury in 2018. That indictment was thrown out for procedural errors in the presentation of evidence, so prosecutors charged Martinez and the other defendants again and were ordered to stand trial following a preliminary hearing.

But Orange County Superior Court Judge Patrick Donahue granted a motion preventing prosecutors from mentioning Johnny Martinez or the conspiracy to order the hit on Rios because the judge determined that a gang expert from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department lied about his training as part of a wide-ranging evidence-booking scandal in the department. Later, Donahue threw out the murder case against Martinez for lack of evidence. Federal prosecutors then stepped in last year with a racketeering case alleging murder, attempted murder,

drug dealing and weapons charges. Local authorities say Martinez ascended to power following the 2018 death of Peter Ojeda in prison, where he was serving a 15-year sentence. Like Ojeda, Martinez is accused of running the gang from jail and prison. Kevin Trejo, James Mendez and Mike Escobar were the first to go on trial in the RICO case and were convicted this year of killing a Costa Mesa- based drug dealer in Orange, allegedly at the best of Martinez, who is awaiting trial in the federal case.

San Bernardino receives $240K grant to plan improvements for Baseline Street By Staff

T

he City of San Bernardino has received a $240,800 grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to plan road improvements along Baseline Street. Upon completion of the work funded through this award, the city will be positioned to compete for project funding in future USDOT funding cycles. “Baseline Street is one of the most important streets in San Bernardino, as it runs from the most eastern to the most western part of the

city, said Lynn Merrill, San Bernardino’s interim public works director. “Using this grant to create a plan that implements safety enhancements along this corridor underscores the City’s commitment to improving our streets and intersections.” The Department of Transportation awarded 385 Safe Streets and Roads for All grants to regional, local, and tribal communities for implementation, planning, and demonstration projects

at the local level to improve safety and help prevent deaths and serious injuries on the nation’s roadways. The City of San Bernardino will use this award to conduct a comprehensive assessment of safety issues along Baseline Street between Meridian to Tippecanoe avenues, with a specific focus on improving safety conditions for pedestrians and cyclists. Measures proposed to be part of the study include high-visibility crosswalks;

Class I, II, and III bike lanes; electronic speed feedback signs; and road adjustment measures such as modifying lane widths and the installation of rumble strips. Recommendations from this process, which will also include community engagement, would be added to the city’s Local Road Safety Plan, one of the requirements necessary to apply for future funding offered through Safe Streets and Roads for All to make the improvements.

Affordable housing 30% AMI, with half of these units dedicated to individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The county’s Department of Health Services will fund and provide supportive services for the Oakwood and Sepulveda projects through their partnership with People Assisting the Homelessness,

according to the governor’s office. HACLA will receive another $7 million for the 3705 McLaughlin project for the construction of a new apartment building, as well as five accessory dwelling units. A total of 25 permanent units will be developed to serve households that are experi-

encing or at risk of homelessness. L.A. County officials, in partnership with Hope the Mission, will receive $27.6 million for the Lancaster Pathway Home project, bringing 102 studio housing units online. They will receive another $28.6 million for the Knight’s

Inn Palmdale project, aimed at creating 100 housing units. “These Homekey projects will provide critical housing and support services to people experiencing homelessness in the Antelope Valley and will expand our capacity to do so in a compassionate and comprehensive manner,” said L.A.

County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who represents the Fifth District, which includes Lancaster and other parts of the Antelope Valley. Lastly, the county will receive $34.3 million to support the Weingart Primrose project. The project aims to rehabilitate a hotel to create 106 studio

units to serve 53 chronically homeless and 53 at-risk of homeless households. The Weingart Center Association will provide supportive services, and off-site amenities will be located within a mile of the project, such as bus stops, a medical clinic, a library, pharmacy and a park.
