Introduction

BIAS AND ABUSE OF JUDICIAL DISCRETION BY THE DISTRICT COURT

As the Appellants are limited to only 15 pages in the reply brief, the appellants
will limit the reply to the most egregious issues of bias, abuse of judicial
discretion, improper influence, and possibly criminal cover up exhibited in this
case, particularly in regards to the fact that an attorney for the defendant's law
firm, acted as a law clerk for the presiding judge. This case was dealing with
fraud, perpetrated by Barack Obama prior to becoming U.S. President. Obama's
personal attorney and White House Counsel Robert Bauer is a senior partner for
Perkins Coie. Attorney-law clerk, drafting the opinion to dismiss the case, was also
an employee of Perkins Coie.

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 4 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

A. Bias and abuse of judicial discretion in Judge Carter's refusal to rule on the
motion for default judgment against Obama

Most important issue in this case, is that Judge Carter's actions in relation to the

motion for default were improper, represented bias, abuse of judicial discretion

and represented fraud committed by Judge Carter in relation to the Plaintiffs, to

Plaintiff's counsel Dr. Orly Taitz and to the country as a whole.

In their opposition to Plaintiff's motion the defendants made a fraudulent

statement: " It is submitted that the court’s decision to deny entry of default

judgment against the President was in all respects proper."

The U.S. attorneys know that Judge Carter (hereinafter Carter) NEVER denied

entry of a default judgment . He simply refused to issue an order. As stated before,

he first hearing was for a DEFAULT JUDGMENT. Therefore Judge Carter had

an obligation to follow Rule 55 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure:

In all other cases, the party must apply to the court for a default judgment. A
default judgment may be entered against a minor or incompetent person only if
represented by a general guardian, conservator, or other like fiduciary who has
appeared. If the party against whom a default judgment is sought has appeared
personally or by a representative, that party or its representative must be served
with written notice of the application at least 3 days before the hearing. The court
may conduct hearings or make referrals preserving any federal statutory right to
a jury trial when, to enter or effectuate judgment, it needs to:

(A) conduct an accounting;

(B) determine the amount of damages;

Barnett, Keyes et al v Obama et al Appellant's reply to opposition 4

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 5 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

(C) establish the truth of any allegation by evidence; or

(D) investigate any other matter.

So all he was empowered to do at that hearing was either grant the default

(which he didn't ), deny the default ( which he didn't ) , or conduct hearings or

make referrals when to make a judgment, it needs to establish the truth of any

allegation by evidence or investigate any other matter. Thus, he had no right to

set a trial date. As a result, the government had NO RIGHT to file a motion to

dismiss.. This should have been an investigative hearing on evidence, by him, in

order to determine if default judgment should be granted. By the Federal Rules

of Civil Procedure, he was not empowered to do anything else. He NEVER made

a ruling on default judgment.

As the transcript of the July 13, 2009 hearing shows, the Plaintiff's attorney Dr.

Orly Taitz repeatedly requested for Judge Carter to rule on her motion for default

judgment, simply rule one way or another, grant it or deny it. He never did.

Clearly Obama was served with the process, as he sent an Assistant U.S. attorney

to represent him. Instead of ruling one way or another, to grant or deny the notion

for default, judge Carter improperly applied pressure and duress on plaintiff's

attorney and demanded that she serve Obama the way "government wants". He

never stated, that she did not serve him correctly, as he knew that she served him

Barnett, Keyes et al v Obama et al Appellant's reply to opposition 5

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 6 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

on Inauguration Day, before he did anything as a president. She served him with a

law suit, dealing with fraud, that he committed before getting into office, in

order to satisfy his personal ego and in order to get into office. Judge Carter

knew, that Taitz served Obama properly and that Obama was in default in that he

never furnished an answer, so Judge Carter simply decided to act with bias and

defraud the Plaintiff's Counsel and the Plaintiffs by promising that if Taitz serves

Obama yet again, the way government wants, he would hear the case on its Merits.

During the course of the hearing Carter repeatedly stated that this court has

jurisdiction and the case would be heard on its merits, he stated that this is an

important case for the country and the military, that it should not be decided on

technicality, but rather decided on the merits, if he (Obama) wasn't eligible, he

shouldn't be there (in the White House). (Appendix to Appellant's Brief, Clerk's

record, 07.13.09 transcript)

Taitz had no other option but to rely on the Honesty and Honor of a Federal Judge.

Instead, Judge Carter defrauded her and her clients. He did precisely what he

promised not to do. he dismissed the case on a technicality, claiming he had no

jurisdiction and to add insult to injury, for good measure, he added slanderous

statements about the plaintiffs and Taitz in order to demoralize the Plaintiffs and to

destroy good name of their attorney, to assassinate her character.

Barnett, Keyes et al v Obama et al Appellant's reply to opposition 6

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 7 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

B. Judge Carter acted with bias and abuse of judicial discretion in including

slanderous, defamatory statements about the Plaintiffs and Plaintiff's

attorney, and by refusing to grant a hearing on the matter.

Defendants' claim Plaintiffs' assertion that Carter's actions showed bias 'are

frivolous". Let's analyze , how is it frivolous? Carter included in his final order a

reference to some letter, which was not part of the record, and stated that he was

concerned about Taitz suborning perjury. After this slanderous order came out

Taitz repeatedly demanded a hearing on this particular matter. She demanded an

opportunity to prove in the hearing that it was malicious and egregious slander and

defamation of character and that she never suborned perjury and that Judge Carter

needs to remove this slanderous, unsupported and inflammatory statement out of

his final order. If Carter was genuinely concerned with suborning perjury, he

would have scheduled such hearing. He never did it, as he knew, that there was no

subornation of perjury, there was no evidence to prove it. He simply included in

his final order a slanderous accusation against the Plaintiff's counsel with a clear

goal to assassinate the character of an attorney, who had plaintiffs with the

strongest standing and who brought the strongest charges and strongest evidence,-

against Obama. Carter, in essence, was aiding and abetting Obama in commission

of this massive fraud upon the citizens of this country, and he did it in a

Barnett, Keyes et al v Obama et al Appellant's reply to opposition 7

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 8 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

coordinated effort, in a one-two punch attempted knockout assault on the plaintiff's

counsel.

Let's imagine for a moment that the shoe is on the other foot. Let's imagine, that

Carter makes a slanderous accusation about the U.S. Attorneys Birotte, West and

DeJute. Let's say he included in his order a statement that he is concerned about

Birotte and West and DeJute murdering children and raping women. Would they

still think that there is no bias and no abuse of judicial discretion in such actions of

a judge?

Let's imagine for a moment unthinkable, let's imagine that this court decides that

there was no bias and no abuse of judicial discretion and this court decides to deny

the appeal, and as a next step Taitz files a petition for Writ of Certiorari with the

Supreme Court and she files a criminal complaint with the Inspector General and

with the Judicial Committees of both the House of Representatives and Senate.

Let's imagine, that while the Supreme Court and the Judicial Committees are

deliberating over those complaints, someone is sending a malicious letter accusing

Judge Carter and the judges of this Honorable court of murdering children and

raping women. Let's imagine for a moment that the Supreme Court of the United

States and the Judicial Committees of the House of Representatives and Senate

issue an opinion, where without giving the judges an opportunity to respond,

Barnett, Keyes et al v Obama et al Appellant's reply to opposition 8

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 9 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

SCOTUS and Judicial Committees issue an opinion, that they are concerned about

Federal Judge Carter and the judges of the Ninth Circuit court of Appeals

murdering children and raping women. Would the judges of this court be amused?

Would your honors feel that it is unbiased, for a court or a judicial committee to

issue an opinion and include slanderous accusations without any shred of proof,

without any evidence and without any opportunity to respond? Of course, it

represents bias and abuse of judicial discretion.

Not only did Carter's actions showed extreme bias and abuse of judicial discretion,

those actions also showed extreme malice towards the Plaintiffs and their counsel.

Not long ago Judge Bobby DeLauter was convicted of public corruption for giving

a judgment to a party, who might help him get into a higher court. Clearly giving a

decision in favor of the sitting president will help one get into a higher court. Not

only did Carter act with bias against the plaintiffs who challenged the President, he

acted with malice in assassinating the character of the plaintiff's attorney, he did it

without any proof and without any hearing, with a clear goal of helping the

Plaintiff, most powerful man in the world, President of the United States.

If Carter's actions in relation to the very first motion, i.e. Motion for the Default

judgment were improper, than all the other motions were irrelevant and the

presence of the U.S. attorney's office in this case is improper and impermissible.

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 10 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

C. Carter showed bias and egregious abuse of judicial discretion and allowed

improper influence in letting an attorney from the Defendant's law firm to

draft his opinion.

In the beginning of October, 2009 Carter hired as his law clerk for 6 months
clerkship, one Siddharth Velamoor, attorney from Perkins Coie, a Defendant
Obama's law firm. Senior partner in Perkins Coie is Robert Bauer, who is not only
a personal attorney for Barack Obama, but also a White House Counsel. (Appendix
F-Wikipedia Bio of Robert Bauer, showing him as a partner of Perkins Coie,
Obama's personal attorney and White House Counsel). It is impossible to imagine
a bigger case of conflict of interest and improper influence. Additionally,
Velamoor's biography shows similar pattern of obfuscation of records, cover up
and creation of fraudulent records as Obama’s. A Siddharth Velamoor page was
created on an information site WikiBin. (Appendix E). This page addressed public
concerns. "The hiring of Velamoor created some public speculation and
controversy because Perkins Coie previously represented the defendant, Barack
Obama, giving the appearance of a possible conflict of interest."id. This article
was designed to calm the public concerns and it was done by planting fraudulent
information. It claimed that Velamoor was a Columbia University graduate and
was placed over a year prior to his hire. Currently, going to this web site and
trying to print this page is causing the Internet connection to shut off. Similarly,
Matindale.Com showed Velamoor to be a graduate of Columbia. ( Appendix B
Link to Martindale.com), and a Columbia Journal of Environmental law showed
Velamoor as one of the editors. The Problem with all of this information, was the
fact that Velamoor did not study at Columbia and did not graduate from there.
Further study of his biography showed that FindLaw.com and Westlaw list
Velamoor as a Juris Doctor (JD) and a graduate of Commenius School of Law in
Bratislava Slovakia. (Appendix A). When this conflicting information appeared,
Martindale.com entry, showing Velamoor to be a Columbia graduate, was hastily
de-linked, which shows a pattern of cover up. Exhibit G shows Commenius

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 11 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

University Faculty of Law web page. Based on the information on this web page,
Velamoor could not possibly graduate from Law school there either.

a. Exchange program for Faculty of Law requires a Masters degree in Law,

Velamoor does not have a master's degree in law, so he could not have been
accepted there.

b. Faculty of law requires knowledge of Slovakian language. Velamoor's family is

from India. He speaks English and possibly some Hindu, nothing Slavic in sight.

His bio shows no studies of Slavic languages. Attorney for the Plaintiffs, Taitz,

came from the Soviet Union and knows firsthand, how extremely difficult it is to

switch between Slavic and English Languages. It is all but impossible for one with

no Slavic Background to just waltz into a Law School in Bratislava and

immediately write legal briefs in Slovakian language.

c. Slovakia is a former Eastern Bloc Country, where the law is not based on British

Common Law and the education program is different. Typically, it is a 5 year

program. How could Velamoor finish it in three years by 2008 and before he even

finished it, be on the list of federal court clerks, before he spent even one day

studying US law, preparing for the bar in US and learning all new different

terminology, already be on the list of law school graduates, accepted to be

attorney-law clerks for federal judges . When and how did he do this?

d. If a, b and c wasn't enough, here is another slight impediment. A list of

programs for international applicants includes PhD in law, but it does not include
Barnett, Keyes et al v Obama et al Appellant's reply to opposition 11
 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 12 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

Juris Doctor-JD, which means, that Velamoor does not have a JD at all. So, how

could he become an Attorney- Law Clerk for Judge Carter, if having a JD is a

minimum requirement? Moreover, an even more important and burning question is

as follows: knowing Velamoor's legal background, more appropriately lack

thereof, who wrote an opinion to dismiss this case? Clearly Velamoor did not have

knowledge and experience for it? Could it be that his boss in Perkins Coie, White

House Counsel Robert Bauer had a hand in writing this opinion?

Seeing all of the above, Watergate pales and looks like a traffic ticket in

comparison to Obama-fraud -gate, Velamoor-Gate, Carter-Gate and Land-Gate.

Plaintiffs are asking this court not only to reverse the decision of the lower court,

but also to appoint an independent master or use its inherent power to appoint an

independent counsel to investigate all of the facts provided above.

D. Appellees misrepresented the fact of the case and US attorney's office

improperly demanded for Obama to be served yet again through the U.S.

attorney's office.

Defendants in their brief state: "It is clear beyond question that the underlying

lawsuit would necessarily operate against the President in his official capacity, by

virtue of the fact, inter alia, that appellants are seeking his removal from office."

Barnett, Keyes et al v Obama et al Appellant's reply to opposition 12

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 13 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

Appellees as well as court misrepresented the facts of the case and the Appellants

pleadings. Appellants-Plaintiffs did not seek removal of the defendant from office.

They did not question anything Obama did in his official capacity. Their main

concern was fraud committed by Obama before getting into office and for his

personal gain and ego, therefore the political doctrine is irrelevant for this case.

Additionally, due to the above facts, the U.S attorney's office had no right to

demand from the Plaintiff's attorney, that she serve them.

The ORIGINAL complaint was filed in Jan 20,2009 BEFORE Obama was

sworn in. Plaintiffs were not seeking removal from office. July 13 hearing should

have been for default judgment only. It had nothing to do with seeking Obama's

removal from office, as such, service under 4e was proper. According to Judge

Carter, he simply wanted to accommodate the Department of Justice in order to

expedite hearing of the case on the merits. Judge Carter: "In talking to you this

way you are basically told, we are going to get to the MERITS of this very quickly.

The government is just asking for what THEY believe is proper service."

record)

 Case: 10-55084 10/27/2010 Page: 14 of 28 ID: 7525181 DktEntry: 29

brought originally in the Superior Court of Ca in Sacramento 34-2008-80000096-

CU-WM-GDS by Taitz and Kreep against secretary of State Debra Bowen found,
that Judicial review of Presidential eligibility is proper after the electoral college
and Congress had an opportunity to review the matter. " Issues regarding qualifications
for president are quintessentially suited to the foregoing process. Arguments concerning qualifications
or lack thereof can be laid before the voting public before the election and, once the election is over,
can be raised as objections as the electoral votes are counted in Congress. The members of the Senate
and the House of Representatives are well qualified to adjudicate any objections to ballots for allegedly
unqualified candidates. Therefore, this order holds that the challenge presented by plaintiff is
committed under the Constitution to the electors and the legislative branch, at least in the first instance.
Judicial review—if any—should occur only after the electoral and Congressional processes have run their
course. [Citation.]" (Robinson v. Bowen, supra, 567 F.Supp.2d at p. 1147.) No. C062321. Keyes et al v
Bowen et al.Court of Appeals of California, Third District, Sacramento.As the electoral college
and the Congressional confirmation of the results of the 2008 electoral college have run their
course, according to Keyes et al v Boen et al, Judicial review is proper and justiciable.

Certificate of Compliance

The Appellant certifies that Appellant’s opening brief without caption and heading does not exceed

the allowed 15 pages or allowed word or line count.

Wherefore the appellant respectfully requests:

To find for the Appellants in that :

1. court erred in not granting Plaintiffs 05.27.09 motion for default judgment by the Plaintiffs

2. court erred in not granting 06.14.09. motion for reconsideration of 05.27.10 motion or for
certification for appeal

3. court abused its judicial discretion and improperly applied pressure on Plaintiffs' counsel
Taitz in demanding, that she serve the defendant Obama yet again, after he was already served
four times by different means, that she serve the US Attorneys’ office for the purpose of them
representing Obama and that due to duress and intimidation applied, her consent to serve
them was not valid. Absent such consent to serve the defendant again, and due to the fact that
the defendant did not provide an answer to the complaint, he was in default and post default
discovery needs to be conducted.

4. court erred in its 10.29.2010 ruling granting defendant’s motion to dismiss.

Siddharth
Velamoor

Siddharth Velamoor, a product liability attorney for the Seattle law firm Perkins Coie, began his term as
a law clerk for United States District Court Judge David O. Carter in the Central District of California
after a lawsuit (Barnett v. Obama) was filed in Carter's court challenging Barack Obama's eligibility to
be President of the United States.
The hiring of Velamoor created some public speculation and controversy because Perkins Coie had
previously represented the defendant, Barack Obama, giving the appearance of a possible conflict of
interest.
However, law clerks for federal judges follow a rotation that is planned many months in advance.
Velamoor was chosen to serve as Carter's clerk for the October 2009-2010 season over a year before,
prior to the 2008 election and months before Taitz filed the lawsuit. His specialty, product liability, is
unrelated to the subject of Barnett v. Obama.
Carter decided the case in favor of the Defendant on October 17th, a few weeks after Velamoor began
his six month term as clerk.
Velamoor received his law degree from Columbia University Law School, and his undergraduate degree
from Dartmouth College.
