CASE #13-100306 and 13-2445
CASE STATUS:
-Z44b
Supp|OmOn|No
ORIG
PC exists for the arrest of Zachary COUGHLIN for Violation of a Temporary Order for Protection Against
Harassment in the Workplace and Violation of an Extended Order for Protection Against Harassment in the
Workplace.
Protection Orders are documented as follows.
RCP 2012-000607
Temporary Order issued on 12-20-2012
Temporary Order served to Zachary Coughlin on 12-26-2012 at about 1458 hours
Temporary Order was extended on 01-04-2013 at about 0830 hours.
Extended Order was served to Zachary Coughlin on 01-05-2013 at about 1000 hours
Extended Order is valid until 2359 hours on 01-04-2014
FOLLOW-UP DETAILS:
On 01-25-2013 I was assigned the original case for 13-100306. During my investigation I determined the above
information about the Protection Order through court records. After speaking with the witness Laura Peters, who
works for the State Bar of Nevada at 9456 Double R Blvd. #B, I found that Zachary violated the order on two
separate occasions.
On 01-03-2013 at about 1700 hours as Laura was closing the office at the above location an unknown male
individual contacted her through the front glass door which faces to the south of the building. The male asked to
file a document with the office and he was denied due to the hour and the office closing. The male said nothing
else, but placed the document through the mail slot. Laura picked up the document and saw it was a motion by
Zachary Coughlin representing himself in a case that he believes is being handled by this office. Laura knew this
to be a violation of the above listed order as she has had previous contact with Zachary and knew of the existing
order.
Later that same night as Laura was leaving the above office she saw the unknown male get in to a vehicle that
she knew was own by Zachary Coughlin. Laura knew this as she has had previous contacts with Zachary and this
vehicle. Laura said she saw the unknown male get in as a passenger of this vehicle, but did not see the driver.
This corroborated that this motion was being filed on behalf of Zachary by an agent of his.
In the temporary order it states that, "It is further ordered that you, the Adverse Party (Zachar Coughlin), are
prohibited, either directly or through an agent. from contacting, intimidating, using, attempting to use, or
threatening the use of physical force, or otherwise interfering in any way with the employer, an employee of the
employer while the employee is performing his duties of employment and any person while the person is present
at the workplace of the employer, including, but not limited to, in person, by telephone, through the mail, through_
electronic mail (e-mail), facsimile (fax), or through another person.
Zachary violated this by having an agent contact the office located at 9456 Double R Blvd.
While speaking with Laura she told me she had already attended the hearing for the extension of the protection
order and had received the extension on the protection order until 01-04-2014
Laura went on to tell me that on the morning of 01-17-2013 when she came in to work at about 0700 hours there
was a fax being printed from the fax machine that was supposed to be 371 pages. Laura saw that the cover page
was addressed from "zachcouchlin" and canceled the rest of the fax and unplugged the machine. Laura knew this
was a violation to the extended protection because of the following.
In the Extended Order for Protection Against Harassment in the Workplace it states, "the Adverse Party (Zachar_
Coughlin), are prohibited, either directly or through an agent. from contacting, intimidating, using, attempting to
use, or threatening the use of physical force, or otherwise interfering in any way with the employer, an employee_
of the employer while the employee is performing his duties of employment and any person while the person is

present at the workplace of the employer, including, but not limited to, in person, by telephone, through electronic
mail (e-mail), facsimile (fax), or through another person. Adverse Party may submit documents to the State Bar
only through the U.S. mail but those documents must not contain threats or other intimidating statements.
While referring to the extended protection order it is a violation for Zachary to have sent a facsimile (fax) to the
State Bar of Nevada located at 9456 Double R. Blvd. Zachary could have mailed this to the office utilizing the
U.S. Mail and it would not have been a violation of the protection order.
Afer the two above mentioned violations, one for the temporary order and one for the extended protection order,
Laura advised that there was also a phone call from a subject representing themselves as Zachary Coughlin on
01-30-2013. I have not been able to identify this subject positively as Zachary Coughlin.
Attached with this report are copies of the restraining orders and the affidavits of service. Copies of these were
also booked in to evidence along with the documents dropped off by the unknown male subject at the State Bar of
Nevada on 01-03-2013 and a copy of the facsimile (fax) sent by "zachcoughlin" to the office on 01-17-2013. Also
booked in to evidence are copies of condensed transcript and findings of fact and conclusion of law for the State
Bar of Nevada Northern Nevada Disciplinary Board cases concerning Zachary Coughlin.
SUMMARY:
On 01-03-2013 Zachar Coughlin violated the temporar protection order served against him as documented
above. On 01-17-0213 Zachar Coughlin violated the extended protection order served against him as
documented above.
CASE UPDATE:
On 02-08-2013 Officers Waddle and Wilson of the Reno Police Department contacted Zachar at his residence at
1471 E. 9th St. and arrested him on the above listed charges.

GRAY
The State Bar had a temporary restraining order in place (Rep 2012-000607) which has since been extended.
Yesterday evening Mr. Coughlin parked his car at the end of the ofice complex's driveway and sent another
individual to the State Bar ofice to file a document. I and another female coworker were locking up the buiding to
leave for the evening when the man apprached us and said he would like to file the document. I told the man that
I would not fle the document and that it was after hours. He put the document through the mail slot and lef. I got
into my car and saw Zach parked in the street at the end of the driveway.
This moring the temporar restraining order was extended by Judge Pearson who confirmed that yesterday's
incident was, in fact, a violation of the temporary order.

An extended restraining order is in place which specifically directs Mr. Coughlin not to contact the State Bar . . in
person, by telephone, through electronic mail (e-mail) facsimile (fax), or through another person. Adverse Party
may submit documents to the State Bar only through the US mail but those documents must not contain threats or
other intimidating statements." This morning I arrived at work to find our fax machine printing the first 24 pages of

This is the second direct violation and the first since the extended order has been in place.
I haven't read the content of the document, and don't intend to, but documents we have received in the past from
Mr. Coughlin usually include both threatening and intimidating statements so I have to assume this one does as

the phone and the caller identified himself as Zachary Coughlin. He began to ask Patrick a question and Pat hung
up on him. Mr. Coughlin is again in violation of the Restraing Order put in place on Jan. 4, 2013. If Mr. Coughlin

Mr. Coughlin has repeatedly violated the restraining order - for which I have repored each individual instance. It is
clear that Mr. Coughlin either does not understand the restrictions for contact outlined in the Restraining Order or
has decided he can ignore the directive of the issuing Judge, Scott Pearson. The extended order limits his contact
with the State Bar to US mail only.
There is no further information available for this case at this time.

Extended Order is valid until 2359 hours on 01-04-2014
FOLLOW-UP DETAILS:
On 01-25-2013 I was assigned the original case for 13-100306. During my investigation I determined the above
information about the Protection Order through court records. After speaking with the witness Laura Peters, who
works for the State Bar of Nevada at 9456 Double R Blvd. #B, I found that Zachary violated the order on two
separate occasions.
On 01-03-2013 at about 1700 hours as Laura was closing the ofice at the above location an unknown male
individual contacted her through the front glass door which faces to the south of the building. The male asked to
file a document with the office and he was denied due to the hour and the office closing. The male said nothing
else, but placed the document through the mail slot. Laura picked up the document and saw it was a motion by
Zachary Coughlin representing himself in a case that he believes is being handled by this office. Laura knew this
to be a violation of the above listed order as she has had previous contact with Zachary and knew of the existing
order.
Later that same night as Laura was leaving the above office she saw the unknown male get in to a vehicle that
she knew was own by Zachary Coughlin. Laura knew this as she has had previous contacts with Zachary and this
vehicle. Laura said she saw the unknown male get in as a passenger of this vehicle, but did not see the driver.
This corroborated that this motion was being filed on behalf of Zachary by an agent of his.
In the temporary order it states that, "It is furher ordered that you, the Adverse Party (Zachar Coughlin), are
prohibited, either directly or through an agent, from contacting, intimidating, using, attempting to use, or
threatening the use of physical force, or otherwise interering in any way with the employer, an employee of the
employer while the employee is perorming his duties of employment and any person while the person is present
at the workplace of the employer, including, but not limited to, in person, by telephone, through the mail, through_
electronic mail (e-mail), facsimile (fax), or through another person.
Zachary violated this by having an agent contact the ofice located at 9456 Double R Blvd.
While speaking with Laura she told me she had already attended the hearing for the extension of the protection
order and had received the extension on the protection order until 01-04-2014
Laura went on to tell me that on the morning of 01-17-2013 when she came in to work at about 0700 hours there
was a fax being printed from the fax machine that was supposed to be 371 pages. Laura saw that the cover page
was addressed from "zachcouchlin" and canceled the rest of the fax and unplugged the machine. Laura knew this
was a violation to the extended protection because of the following.
In the Extended Order for Protection Against Harassment in the Workplace it states, "the Adverse Party (Zachar
Coughlin), are prohibited, either directly or through an agent, from contacting, intimidating, using, attempting to
use, or threatening the use of physical force, or otherwise interfering in any way with the employer, an employee_
of the employer while the employee is performing his duties of employment and any person while the person is
present at the workplace of the employer, including, but not limited to, in person, by telephone, through electronic
mail (e-mail), facsimile (fax), or through another person. Adverse Party may submit documents to the State Bar
only through the U.S. mail but those documents must not contain threats or other intimidating statements.
While refer
r
ing to the extended protection order it is a violation for Zachary to have sent a facsimile (fax) to the
State Bar of Nevada located at 9456 Double R. Blvd. Zachary could have mailed this to the office utilizing the
U.S. Mail and it would not have been a violation of the protection order.
After the two above mentioned violations, one for the temporary order and one for the extended protection order,
Laura advised that there was also a phone call from a subject representing themselves as Zachary Coughlin on
01-30-2013. I have not been able to identify this subject positively as Zachary Coughlin.
Attached with this report are copies of the restraining orders and the affidavits of service. Copies of these were
also booked in to evidence along with the documents dropped off by the unknown male subject at the State Bar of
Nevada on 01-03-2013 and a copy of the facsimile (fax) sent by "zachcoughlin" to the ofice on 01-17-2013. Also

above. On 01-17-0213 Zachary Coughlin violated the extended protection order served against him as
documented above.

A L L O T H E R S
On May 23, 2013 I, (Deputy Turner #3867) was assigned to the Second Judicial District Court of Nevada located
at 1. South Sierra Street.
During my time assigned to District Court over the past five months, I have been briefed on an individual identified
as Coughlin, Zachary. As I understand it, based on multiple briefings, there are several court orders restricting the
movement of Mr. Coughlin to move freely throughout a variety of areas located in the Mills Lane Justice building.
Based on my knowledge and previous orders of the court, Mr. Coughlin is in need of an escort provided by Reno
Justice Court Bailiffs to gain access to these restricted areas. Over the last several months, Mr. Coughlin has
increasingly pushed and tested the limits of the court order in attempts to disrupt the daily operations of law
enforcement personal located at the court house. It is my understanding that Mr. Coughlin enters the Mills Lane
Justice building and informs the Court Security Officers that he needs to gain access to a restricted area of the
building. At that time, Mr. Coughlin is required to wait for his escort provided by Reno Justice Court Bailiffs.
However, Mr. Coughlin fails to wait for an escort, and proceeds to an unknown area located in the building. Court
Control notifies law enforcement personnel in an attempt to locate Mr. Coughlin in the building. Upon our arrival,
Mr. Coughlin is always located in an area where his movement is not restricted, and then he denies ever stating
his desire to access a restricted area. On multiple occasions, I have made contact with Mr. Coughlin on concerns
of accessing restricted locations. During these encounters with Coughlin, he has been very argumentative and
border line disruptive, however, he was not located or proven to be in a restricted area.
On 05/23/12, I had made contact with Mr. Coughlin several times throughout the day. During these encounters,
he was highly agitated and argumentative. It appeared to me as if Coughlin was luring law enforcement
personnel into a conflict, to gain a reaction for his benefit. At approximately 1620 hours, I was standing at the
Mills Lane Justice building entrance, next to the magnetometers. During this time, I witnessed Mr. Coughlin enter
the building and inform the Court Security Officers that he had paperwork to be filed. An RJC bailiff met with Mr.
Coughlin, prior to passing through the magnetometers. The RJC Bailiff collected the paperwork to be filed in the
RJC filling office from Mr. Coughlin and proceeded to do that. After the bailiff left the immediate area, Mr.
Coughlin passed through the magnetometers and proceeded to sit on a bench adjacent to stairs leading to the
second floor of the building.

RJC Bailiffs John Reyes and Don Ramsey met with, and remained with, Mr. Coughlin as he sat on a bench.
Several minutes later, I heard the conversation between Mr. Coughlin and RJC Bailiff Reyes escalate, as their
voices continued to get louder. Deputy Troup, who was also in the vicinity, and I approached the scene to give a
visual presence. As I approached, Mr. Coughlin was taunting RJC Bailiff Reyes, referencing his current divorce
case, repeatedly. RJC Bailiff Reyes disengaged from the conversation and stood quietly by as Mr. Coughlin
continued the taunts. After failing to gain a rise out of Bailiff Reyes regarding his current divorce hearing, Mr.
Coughlin turned to Bailiff Ramsey and inquired about past filings. Bailiff Ramsey indicated that he was unsure
what filings Mr. Coughlin was referencing. Mr. Coughlin then verbally attacked Bailiff Ramsey, accusing him of
deliberately losing his paperwork. Bailiff Ramsey indicated that Mr. Coughlin had left his paperwork unattended
and left the building. Mr. Coughlin then requested the status of past filings. Bailiff Ramsey asked what filings he
was referencing, and he would research it for him. Mr. Coughlin handed Bailiff Ramsey a piece of paper
indicating what filings he was referring to, and Bailiff Ramsey began to research Coughlin's request.
Once Bailiff Ramsey left the area, Bailiff Reyes requested that Coughlin wait on the other side of the
magnetometers. Mr. Coughlin refused to wait on the other side. Bailiff Reyes told Coughlin repeatedly that he
must wait on the other side of the secured area, until his requested information was received. Mr. Coughlin began
to argue, stating that he was not going to leave but go to the third floor family court. Mr. Coughlin was then
informed that he could not leave the immediate area without finishing his business with Justice Court. Mr.
Coughlin refused to leave the bench. Bailiff Reyes indicated that if he did not voluntarily wait on the other side of
the secured area that he would be physically escorted. Bailiff Reyes applied light touch to Mr. Coughlin's left arm
to assist him in standing. Once Bailiff Reyes made contact, Mr. Coughlin immediately began to resist by turning
away and pulling his arms tight into his chest. Bailiff Reyes then placed Coughlin into a rear wrist lock. At that
time, I made the assumption that Mr. Coughlin was going to be taken into custody. I gained control of his left arm
by placing it into an arm bar. Bailiff Reyes began to escort Coughlin to the other side of the magnetometers as I
continued to maintain control of his left arm. As we attempted to exit through the magnetometers, the device was
struck and knocked to the ground, causing it to break into several pieces. Bailiff Reyes and I avoided the
damaged device and sat Mr. Coughlin on the bench adjacent to the magnetometers. As we let go of Mr.
Coughlin, he proceeded to throw himself over the backside of the bench as if we threw him. Mr. Coughlin began
to yell, stating that he had struck his head on the ground. Mr. Coughlin then made a reference to obtaining video
for a future lawsuit. Mr. Coughlin came to his feet without assistance and took a seat on the bench next to the
incident. He.showed no sign of injury and made no further complaint. Bailiff Reyes left the immediate area as I
stood by with Mr. Coughlin for further information. Bailiff Reyes returned moments later and took Mr. Coughlin
into custody (refer to RJC case #13-096). Mr. Coughlin was booked into Washoe County Detention Facility by
RJC Bailiffs. He was screened and cleared by medical staff at the jail.
Nothing Further.

On April 23, 2013, I, Deputy Troup, was working at The Second Judicial District Court located on 1 S. Sierra St.
Deputy Turner and I were both 10-8 available and standing by at the magnetometers near the entrance to the
Mills Lane courthouse, when Zach Coughlin entered the building. I recognized Mr. Coughlin due to our multiple
dealings with him daily at the courthouse. Mr. Coughlin has a court order restricting his movement within certain
areas in the Mills Lane building located at 1 S. Sierra St. The order also states the he needs an escort for any
Reno Justice business or Reno Municipal business.
Mr. Coughlin came into the building and informed the Court Street Security Officers of his business in the building,
which is part of his court order. Mr. Coughlin was looking to complete some filings for Reno Justice. An RJC
Bailiff responded, retrieved Mr. Coughlin's filing paperwork and took it to the filing office. Mr. Coughlin waited for a
few moments outside of the magnetometer, where he has been asked to wait for return of his filings. After a few
minutes, Mr. Coughlin entered through the magnetometers and sat on a bench directly inside security. When the
RJC Bailiff returned, Mr. Coughlin immediately began to question him about his paperwork. The Bailiff explained
that the filing clerk was working on his filing request. Mr. Coughlin continued to ask multiple times about where his
files were and about the Bailiff getting his files. The Bailiff returned to the filing office to check on the status of the
filings.
At that time, RJC Bailiff Reyes and Ramsey came down from the second floor to relieve the bailiffs that were down
stairs with Mr. Coughlin, whose shifts were ending. As soon as Mr. Coughlin saw Bailiff Reyes, he immediately
became aggravated and loudly stated "Oh great it's you Reyes. I don't like dealing with you." Bailiff Reyes stood
by with Mr. Coughlin as Bailiff Ramsey took more paperwork from Mr. Coughlin and went to the filing office. I
observed Mr. Coughlin and Bailiff Reyes exchanging words. I could tell the conversation was escalating due to
their voices becoming louder. I stepped closer to Mr. Coughlin and Bailiff Reyes as did Deputy Turner. I could
hear Mr. Coughlin taunting Bailiff Reyes by talking about what "a piece of shit he is" and about Bailiff Reyes

Bailiff Reyes told Mr. Coughlin that he needed to wait on the other side of the magnetometer for his paperwork.
Mr. Coughlin refused to move. Bailiff Reyes asked him multiple times, and Mr. Coughlin continued to state, "No I
am not moving." Bailiff Reyes reached in to take control of Mr. Coughlin's right arm to assist him up to move. Mr.
Coughlin again stated, "No I am not moving" and pulled in his arms tight to his chest to keep Bailiff Reyes from
being able to get control of his arm and moved his body away from Bailiff Reyes. I called Sergeant Mullen over the
radio and informed him that the RJC Bailiffs were having problems with Mr. Coughlin, since Sergeant Mullen had
dealt with Mr. Coughlin multiple times earlier in the day. Bailiff Reyes then took control of Mr. Coughlin's right arm
and placed him in a rear wrist lock. I believed that Bailiff Reyes was going to be detaining Mr. Coughlin at this
point, so I moved closer to assist, in case Mr. Coughlin resisted. Deputy Turner also stepped in to assist (see
Deputy Turner's primary report for more information).
Bailiff Reyes then stood Mr. Coughlin up and began to escort him towards the front area on the other side of the
magnetometers where he was asking him to move originally. I pulled out my X-2 taser out due to Mr. Coughlin's
resisting Bailiff Reyes in taking control of him. I followed behind Bailiff Reyes and Deputy Turner. As they
attempted to walk Mr. Coughlin through the magnetometer, the entire device was knocked down and broke into
several pieces. Bailiff Reyes and Deputy Turner sat Mr. Coughlin down on the bench and he then proceeded to
throw himself over the other side of the bench in a very dramatic manner, making it appear as if he was thrown
down. He began to yell about bumping his head and needing the video footage of the incident. Mr. Coughlin was
alert, conscious and stood up almost immediately after he threw himself to the ground. Deputy Turner attempted
to assist Mr. Coughlin but as he stood there were no visual signs of injury and he was walking and talking fine. He
then sat back down on the bench and waited. Bailiff Reyes had walked away from the incident but returned and
took Mr. Coughlin into custody (reference RJC case#1 3-096). The RJC Bailiffs took Mr. Coughlin and booked him
into the Washoe County Detention Facility.
Nothing Further.

NARRATIVE:
On 05/23/2013, at approx. 1620 Hrs., I went to the 1st floor in Reno Justice Court (RJC), to relieve
Bailiff D. Hiebert near the front entrance to the building, directly adjacent to the "Sipriano's Cafe".
Hiebert had been engaged in obtaining document requests from Zachary Coughlin, who had seated
himself on one of the benches beyond the front security screening line.
As I approached within approx. 20 feet of Hiebert and Coughlin, Coughlin saw me and immediately
began to make loud, unsolicited and disparaging comments about my presence. I heard him say
"Oh, and here's Bailiff Reyes, Mr. Tough Guy.", along with other similar comments I ignored. I was
accompanied by Bailiff D. Ramsey and I observed WCSO Deputies C. Turner and J. Troup standing
in close proximity. In addition, Olympic Security Services Officers A. Virgo and P. Perez were
standing a short distance away, at their assigned posts. Hiebert did leave when Ramsey and I
arrived.
Earlier on this day, at approx. 1330 Hrs., I was present when Bailiff A. English, WCSO Deputies C.
Turner and J. Troup were speaking to Coughlin adjacent to the men's restroom and "Sipriani's Cafe"
Page` 3of 5
on the first floor in RJC (reference case # RJC13-095). At issue, was Coughlin's failure to comply
with RJC Administrative Order 12-01, when he disregarded the requirement for him to wait for an
RJC Bailiff to escort him beyond the front security screening line when present for RJC business.
Coughlin was scheduled to appear at the RJC Court Counseling Compliance hearings at 1400 hrs. I
heard court radio traffic, indicating that WCSO Sergeant Mullins wanted Coughlin to be detained
until he could arrive from the 2nd District Court building across the street. When Coughlin was
advised of this, he said he was now going to go to Family Court (where, after inquiring with the
Family Court, it was discovered that Coughlin does not have any active cases in that court) and I
advised him that he must remain where he was, to await WCSO sergeant Mullins' arrival. Coughlin
ignored me and began to walk around the assembled officers. I then took Coughlin's right arm and
applied a bent wrist control hold, and had him stand against the wall adjacent to the men's restroom
(reference case # RJC13-097). I held him there for less than a minute, until Sgt. Mullins arrived.
Sgt. Mullins had a 10-15 minute discussion, sometimes heated, with Coughlin. Sgt. Mullins did
appear in front of Judge S. Pearson to testify about Coughlin's behavior.
I asked Coughlin what he needed and he said he wanted to file a request for a report from RJC, so I
asked him for the request. Coughlin refused to provide the request to me, then gave it to Ramsey,
who went to the RJC Criminal Div. At that time, Coughlin adressed me directly, asking several
questions regarding how my family court case was going, and then tauntingly recited information
about by financial disclosure, my minor children and some written qoutes made by my wife, in an
obvious effort to let me know that he's researched public records about my personal information. I
made no comments during this line of questioning, neither confirming nor denying, as I was acutely
aware that Coughlin may be stalking and was now, indeed, harassing me.
I became aware that Coughlin, without escort and of his own volition, had passed through the
security screening moments after Bailiff Hiebert walked away to fulfill Coughlin's earlier request.
According to Olympic Screening Services Officers A. Virgo and P. Perez, Coughlin had told them
that he was going to the men's restroom, but instead, went straight to the bench and sat down, where
I found him within the building unescorted. I asked Coughlin to walk back to the area designated for
him in front of the security sreening line, while waiting for his RJC requests, per RJC Adnistrative
Order 2012-01 and past practice. Coughlin refused to do so, even after I directed him to do so a few
more times. I informed Coughlin that if he did not do so voluntarily, I would have to physically
escort him there. Coughlin still refused to follow my direction, so I reached for his right arm, to
place him into a straight arm escort hold, but he immediately dropped to his left side on the bench
and then slid to the floor, physically resisting my efforts for him to follow my directions. I then
placed Coughlin into a takedown control hold, in order to force him to stand, rather than require me
to pick him up. Once on his feet, Coughlin stated "So, I guess you're going to give up that $5000
pension when I finish suing you." I guided Coughlin towards the designated area and as we were
passing through the walk-through metal detector, I noticed that Coughlin was attempting to run into
it's leading edge. Before I could react, with both hands controlling Coughlin, the metal detector fell
away and onto the floor. The metal detector broke apart upon hitting the floor. Olympic Screening
Services Officers A. Virgo and P. Perez were now redirecting uninvolved court visitors to an
alternate direction. I continued forward and placed Coughlin on the bench in front of the middle
Xray machine. Coughlin leaned backwards and allowed himself to fall on his back, tipping the
bench over and pulling down the stanchions aligned behind him, in an effort to make it appear I had
used unessessary force upon him.
At about that time, Chief Bailiff M. Sexton had arrived and upon explaining to him on what had just
occurred and surveying the damage, he authorized Coughlin's arrest. I informed Coughlin that I was

initially placing him under arrest for destruction of property and resisting/obstructing/delaying an
officer, to which, Coughlin stated "No, you're not. I'm leaving!", then stood up and took a step
towards the exit. I stepped forward, took control of Coughlin's arms, then placed him under arrest
for the following violations: 206.310 NRS (Destruction of property), based on Coughlin's failure to
comply, requiring his physical escort and resulting in the damage to the metal detector. The metal
detector was deemed to be in excess of $5000 at that time; 206.140 NRS (Nuisance in a
building/trespass/disturbance), based on Coughlin's attempt to solicit a confrontation with an officer
by reciting personal information about the officer's Family Court business, other verbal comments
and, eventually, his physical behavior, resulting in property damage while other citizens were
conducting business within Mills B. Lane building, and his distracting me of my normal duties;
203.119 NRS (Interfering with peaceful conduct of business in a public building), based on his loud,
unsolicited comments, refusal to obey directions and causing court visitors to be kept at a distance
and re routed to their destinations within the building; 53.140 NRS (Resisting/obstructing/delaying
an officer), based on Coughlin's refusal to obey lawful directions by an officer, his willful resistance
while being escorted and statement regarding his refusal to be placed under arrest and attempt to
leave when being advised of the arrest; 22.100 NRS (Contempt of Court), based on Coughlin
entering RJC premises without an RJC bailiff escort and his continued disregard for RJC
Administrative Order 12-01, page 2, lines 24-25 and page 3, lines 1-2, which states:
"1. Zachary Barker Coughlin shall not enter the premisis of the Reno Justice Court at One South
Sierra Street except as follows:
a. If Zachary Barker Coughlin wishes to file a document with the Reno Justice Court or attend a
hearing in the Reno Justice Court he must notify the security personnel at the main security entrance
on One South Sierra Street and wait for a bailiff of the Reno Justice Court to respond to his
location."
Coughlin and his property were escorted to the 2nd floor, West holding room, where I completed a
full search of his person in the presence of Bailiffs D. Hiebert, A. Medina, A English and
surveillance cameras. Coughlin was transported to WCSO Detention Facility for booking by Bailiffs
Medina and Hiebert.
Included with this report are written statements from WCSO Deputies J. Troup and C. Turner, and
Olympic Screening Services Officers A. Virgo and P. Perez; 2 DVDs containing videos of Coughlin
entering unescorted into the premisis of RJC, Coughlin being physically escorted to the main
entrance lobby and the damage to the metal detector. There are also photos of the damage to the
metal detector on the DVD, which were provided by WCSO Sgt. Mullins.

day 5 23 2013 at around 1625 hrs. Mr. Coughlin came to the security

Amos Patrick Perez's written statement of 5/23/13 reads: "0n 5-23-13
at approximately 1620 Mr. Coughlin came into Mills B. Lane
courthouse after being escorted out of the courthouse by Bailiff
Heibert. Coughlin said down the lottery bench and asked for a
Bailiff so CSO Virgo called to the Bailiff station and asked for
Bailiff to come down to help Coughlin Bailiff Hebert came back down
and asked Coughlin how can I help you. Coughlin then replied I need
these papers filed. Heibert took the papers back to the filing
office approximately ten sec. later. Coughlin told me he had to use
the restroom after he clear the security checkpoint. He went
straight to the benches. Coughlin did not go to the restroom, then
saw Bailiff Ramsey and started to yell at him, saying that Ramsey
through his paperwork away. Ramsey and Bailiff Reyes walked over to
Coughlin Reyes asked Coughlin to stop yelling. Heibert returned with
Coughlin's paperwork after Coughlin had his paperwork in his hand
Reyes asked Coughlin, if he had any more business at the courthouse.
Coughlin told Reyes no. Reyes then asked Coughlin to leave.
Coughlin then told Reyes I am not leaving. Reyes told Coughlin
several more times to leave in Coughlin replied no I am not leaving
Reyes gave Coughlin several more warnings Coughlin replied back with
no I am not leaving. Reyes then restrained Coughlin and started to
escort him out halfway out Coughlin started to fight with Reyes. At
that time the magnetometer was knocked over. I backed up out of the
way and it was no longer in view of Coughlin and Reyes."

Dear Mr. McBride and Chief Deputy Clerk Castillo,
I believe I already reported this, but if I did not, I am doing so now and apologize/hope some of the trying circumstances I have
been undergoing somewhat recently may mitigate in any lateness of this reporting.
In terms of mitigation, I ask that you consider taking a look at my appeal of the summary eviction from my former home law office that
started just prior to the first of so many arrests in August 2011, in Nevada Supreme Court Case 61383, and the deleterious effects of
the "trial" court denying a stay of that summary eviction under NRS 40.385 even where I, on at least three different occasions posted
the $250 required by statute, whereupon, under my reading of the law, I was entitled to a stay (ie, the decision is not a discretionary
one as to whether or not to grant such a stay...as the consequences of not granting one can be extremely damaging, as my case and
circumstances reveal quite clearly).
http://caseinfo.nvsupremecourt.us/public/caseView.do?csIID=29550
Unfortunately, the "Meta-Record on Appeal" (MROA) that I filed with the Nevada Supreme Court and requested be made publicly available at the above link is not yet
available (sometimes it takes a while for such items to be reviewed, but, usually, the Nevada Supreme Court has ultimately made my filings publicly available). Luckily,
someone posted that complete 3,540 MROA online:

on 2/13/13 I was found guilty of Contempt, for being about 40 minutes late to court in RCR2012-065630 in the Reno Justice
Court, 5 days in jail sentence...I was not provided or served the "Misdemeanor Commitment Order", but on 3/19/13, at a
subsequent trial date, I inquired with the Judge as to whether his ruling of 2/13/13 was civil or criminal contempt in nature and
mentioned that if it was a criminal "conviction" then I likely had a reporting requirement to the NV Bar and the USPTO. The
Judge made a nunc pro tunc interlineation that seemingly crossed out the word "misdemeanor", but then he seemed to say
something verbally that indicated he was classifying it as "criminal contempt"...just my two cents...I think the Judge didn't want it
to be something I needed to report, so he crossed out the word "misdemeanor", but he also didn't want to appear to be "soft" on
me in front of the District Attorney and maybe the court staff, and maybe, me, as well, so he seemed to answer my question by
indicating it was "criminal contempt"...Nevada has a criminal contempt statute under NRS 199.340, and what I believe is a "civil
contempt" statute under NRS 22.010 (it is in the civil practice Title, but lately it seems I have seen some authority that purports
to treat a contempt ruling under NRS 22.010 as either criminal or civil, so...).
I queried the Judge as to which statute number my contempt of 2/13/13 fell under and he didn't indicate a statutory section, and
the attached 2/13/13 Misdemeanor Commitment Order (and the nunc pro tunc interlineation amendment thereon, Commitment
Order of 3/19/13) does not seem to....In this same case, ultimately, I was convicted of NRS 199.280, Obstructing a Public
Officer. I hope this will not be viewed as a "serious offense" or otherwise interfering with the administration of justice. I think
the WCDA may have originally thought it might, and so pled "down" the original NRS 205 "misuse of 911 emergency telephone
services" gross misdemeanor to the simple misdemeanor of NRS 199.280 in hopes that I would accept the 8/27/12 plea bargain
disposing of all of the three criminal prosecutions against me by pleading guilty to two disturbing the peace charges, and having
the third dismissed. I did accept that plea, but the judge refused to accept it, indicating he didn't think it was voluntarily entered
(that was my under standing of that...I am attaching the transcript of that 8/27/12 hearing, as upon further review, it seems as
though maybe the public defender and others are attempting to recharacterize those events as "settlement negotiations having
broken down", but, quite clearly, I accepted to plea deal, and they were miffed that I used some language that they felt brought
into question to voluntariness of it.
In that same case, RCR2012-065630, I was convicted on 4/2/13 of the NRS 199.280 charge. I am not allowed to email the
State Bar of Nevada anymore, so I am copying the Chief Deputy Clerk of Court, Linda Castillo, of the Nevada Supreme Court
(the Bar is an "arm of the Court" under the Waters decision in Nevada) to maintain a further digital record of my reporting
should the letter reporting those convictions I send to the SBN have failed to register or arrive, or met with any other dispute. I
ask that Clerk Castillo forward this correspondence on to the Office of Bar Counsel, but only if her so doing or my so requesting
is not violative of any restriction against me or an agent of mine emailing the State Bar.
Per Mr. McBride's instructions in his letter of September 2012, an update on my recent arrests:
2/1/13 arrested after 7 pm at night without a warrant in violation of NRS 171.136 by the Department of Alternative Sentencing
in RCR2011-063341 (the 11/20/12 petty larceny "iPhone arrest of 8/20/11 (just after the start of the wrongful summary
eviction in 61383) incident to allegations that I failed to check in with DAS on 1/2/13 and 1/23/13 (which is disputed an for
which there is a wealth of documentation to demonstrate that such was far from the "no call no show" failure to check in that
often, but does not always, lead to one being taken into custody). For some reason, the RJC subsequently sought to characterize
that 2/1/13 warrantless arrest by DAS as an arrest based upon a warrant, but a review of the docket (NRS 4.420 docket entries in
justice courts are prima facie evidence of fact) in RCR2011-063341 reveals that no warrant was issued or executed upon, and
further, the warrant of 1/9/13 that was recalled on 1/10/13 is particularly suspect in light of the paper trail of correspondence
between myself and DAS Officer Brown and Clerk Sabrina wherein my indigency vis a vis obtaining a "mental health evaluation"
and questions as to whether the 10/22/12 finding of competency should satisfy such a request, is well establish. Particularly
troublesome is Officer Brown's sudden change of position on or about 1/8/13 as to her previous instruction to me (which I
followed) that I should submit a fee waiver/indigency application to DAS to receive assistance in paying for the mental health
evaluation.
2/8/13 arrest by Reno Police Department and charged with felony EPO violation and gross misdemeanor TPO violation incident
to State Bar of Nevada's obtaining a TPO/EPO from same Reno Justice Court that runs DAS in RCP2012-000607 (a workplace
harassment protection order, despite no security bond being posted, the application failing to include a verified statement of facts
in support thereof, and the EPO failing to included a separate EPO application, all required under NRS 33 as jurisdictional
prerequisites, not to mention that the RJC Bailiff's purport to have served Coughlin the TPO Application/TPO Order and Order
for EPO Extension Hearing on 1/4/13 in the RJC Filing Office on 12/20/12, in violation of the attorney/litigant immunity from
service of process while going to, attending or leaving court (a similar privilege against arrest was asserted by Coughlin to RJC
Bailiff's on 5/23/13 in the courthouse, however, Bailiff Reyes arrested Coughlin and charged him with two felonies and two
misdemeanors, resulting in a bail of $16,000, which the Washoe County District Atttorney only saw fit, ultimately, to charge, in
a 5/31/13 Complaint in RCR2013-072675, two misdemeanors (Obstructing a Public Officer, NRS 199.280, and Nuisiance in a
Public Buidling NRS 206.140, lowering the bail to $1,000. The arresting Bailiff, Bailiff Reyes is someone whom Coughlin
filed a TPO Application against on February 12, 2012, and whose wife, Cathy A. Reyes filed a domestic violence protection
order application against on 5/2/13). The 2/8/13 arrest resulted in a bail of $5,000 (requiring some $780 cash to be bailed out
in time to address the looming 2/13/13 deadline to file Coughlin's appeal brief in 62337, a deadline which has been extended)
and the Washoe County District Attorney's Office chose not to press charges (the RPD Officer, apparently, mistakenly charged
Coughlin with violating a regular type Stalking TPO/EPO, whereas, the Workplace Harassment TPO/EPO in RCP12-607
carries only a misdemeanor charge) and, apparently, instead indicated that, because the alleged crime (consisting of an allegation
that Coughlin attempted to have filed on 1/3/13 a NRCP 52/59 Post-Hearing/Post Findings of Fact Conclusions of Law (of
12/14/12 in 62337, by the NNDB Panel Chair Echeverria) on the tenth and final judicial day in which to do so, by courier
delivery (the 12/20/12 TPO by RJC Judge Pearson apparently precluded Coughlin from filing, or at least submitting anything, in
any manner (though NRS 33.360 limits such orders to preclude impinging on one's constitutional rights, such as the ability to
file documents in a legal matter with the State Bar of Nevada's "filing office"/"court"), and an allegation that on the tenth and
final day to final an Amendment or Supplemental to said 1/3/13 NRCP 52/59 Motion, Coughlin submitted for filing by a means
the State Bar/OBC/NNDB/Panel/Clerk of Court Peters had previously indicated was acceptable for filing and which would
result in said submission receiving a file stamp) a Supplemental thereto.
2/12/13 Coughlin was allegedly late to the resumption of the trial in RCR2012-065630 on 2/12/13, and RJC Judge Clifton (a
Respectfully submitted
25 year veteran of the criminal division of the WCDA's Office) sentenced Coughlin to 5 days in jail as a result, between 2/12/13
and 2/16/13).
5/23/13 RJC Bailiff Reyes attacked Coughlin in the courthouse, purportedly over an allegation that Coughlin failed to heed some
command to move to some waiting area designated in the particularly jurisdictionally suspected 12/20/12 "Administrative Order
2012-01, In the Matter of Zachary Coughlin" that the RJC subsequently sought to characterize as a "criminal complaint" filed 12/20/12,
despite the fact that the RJC only place the "criminal case number" of RCR 2013-071437, on said 12/20/12 Administrative Order
2012-01, on 3/11/13, and the docket in 071436 manifests this curious post-dating, remixing of chronology. Such an "Administrative
Order" is particularly suspect given it was not entered in any actual case then existing, and was not made upon the motion of any
opposing "party", and where, indeed, there is no "opposing party", the RJC, apparently, choosing to usurp the executive branch
function of the WCDA's Office. Bailiff Reyes piled baseless, redundant charges atop one another, resulting in a bail of $16,500, and
Coughlin was only able to bail out on 6/7/13 upon the bail being reduced to $1,000, though in the interim, the very appeal in 61383 that
Coughlin had planned to file a Surreply and other filings on 5/23/13 had he not been arrested (and had the jail not prevented Coughlin
from making alternative arrangements) relates to that RJC wrongful summary eviction case in Rev2011-001708, which is particularly
suspect given the RJC both ripped up and refused to accept for filing Coughlin's submission in that very case number and requests to
review the file on 5/22/13 and 5/23/13.

Dear Officer Brown,
Can I check in by phone for awhile? Its just too upsetting, and even somewhat frightening to check in considering what is going
on with the RJC Bailiff's (see attachments), their anger towards me and ready willingness to depart from what is already an order
of questionable jurisdictional legitimacy (the 12/20/12 Administrative Order 2012-01...see attached).
The connection between an email to the WCDA's Office shortly after midnight on 2/1/13 and the subsequent arrest by DAS, after
7pm, in violation of NRS 171.136, on 2/1/13 is hard to ignore. Further, despite the fact that there is not currently operative
condition of my probation allowing for random search and seizure (there may be in a sentence that is to run "consecutive" to the
current 1-2 year probatio in RCR11-063341, but such is not "concurrent" (ie, Judge Clifton cannot have it both boths, meaning,
make the sentence suspended longer than for the maximum of 2 years (making my total length of probation extended by making
such second sentence consecutive) while also seeking to put into play concurrent with my current sentence in 11-063341 the
special "subject to random search and seizure" dictate he curiously put into his sentence in RCR12-065630. Judge Sferrazza
never ordered such a condition of my probation, and Judge Pearson, upon taking over the matter in 11-063441 drove that further
home, eliminating the random drug testing and alcohol restrictions as well. The 11/20/12 Order to Attend and 11/21/12
Judgment (which I still have yet to be served) do not provide a blank check to DAS.
Recently, DAS Officers came to my residence and banged loudly on all sides of the fifth wheel trailer I live in, then unplugged
the electricity to it, causing a loss of computer data and other damages. I just want some peace. Subsequently, while checking in
at the courthouse RJC Bailiff Reyes was again harassing me and a DAS Officer (grey hair mustache, sorry I did not learn his
name) accused me of failing to answer me door in reference to such a recent attempt to conduct a search and seizure that is not
currently authorized, then admitted he knew not for sure if I was in the trailer, but only assumed that were the case, putting his
arm around Bailiff Reyes in a menacing display of solidarity.
I ask that I be allowed to check in with you/DAS by phone for the time being, it is simply to upsetting to have to interact with
angry, manipulative, RJC Bailiffs wielding guns, "off their medications", whom are having Protection Orders applied for against
them by their wives and others.
i am being denied access to the wcda's office, so I can't serve you things
Additionally, the RJC subsequent to my warrantless arrest by DAS in violation of NRS 171.136 on 2/1/13 attempted to
characterize such arrest as based upon a warrant issued in connection with some alleged failure on my part to have the mental
health evaluation done. The emails, communications, and correspondence between you and I indicated that any warrant that
Judge Sferrazza had issued on 1/9/13 was recalled, pursuant to Judge Pearson taking over the case and issuing a dictate that no
such warrants are to issue or be executed upon absent his express indication that such be done. A warrant should not have issued
on 1/9/13 in the first place considering the correspondence and communications between you and I. I don't know if whomever it
was who coordinated with RJC Bailiff Medina on 1/23/13 to close the DAS Office quickly in the interval between the time I
arrived to check in with DAS at 2:54 pm and Bailiff Medina ever so slowly sauntering over to "escort" me to the DAS check in
(which is not under the "exclusive control" of the RJC...if it were there is no way in which DAS could operate as the opposing
party before the RJC in probation matters as to probationers, there must be separation between the executive and judicial
branches).
From my reading of the 12/20/12 "Adminstrative Order 2012-01" I need not check in with the courthouse's Olympik security
detail when checking in with DAS, nor do I need an RJC Bailiff to harass me, er, escort me to do so. RJC Bailiff's have
repeatedly burst into the DAS Office while I was conducting my check in, and such is disrespectful to both my self, but more
importantly, to DAS. Last week, Bailiff Medina did so, directing Sabrina to not check me in, shortly before the more narrowly
circumscribed 2 pm time frame that DAS has applied to myself, and individual with documentation supporting the fact that he
has been diagnosed with two different conditions that arguably should auger towards applying a more broad time frame for
check in, not a more narrow one.
In summary, I appreciate what DAS does, what you do and have been doing, and ask that you consider whether some others are
seeking to leverage DAS for purposes for which DAS need not concern itself, and for which DAS has little incentive to get
involved in someone else's circumstances, especially where such may be born of a failure to adequately hire, train, and supervise
individuals whom can perform the duties of the position without engaging in menacing and threatening behavior directed
towards litigants in and out of the courtroom.

none of the Administrative Orders justify the security denying egress to your office, which is how I need to serve things. I don't feel comfortable leaving things in a manilla
envelope with non-parties, especially private, third party security details. I appreicate DDA Young indicating to me in court the other day that he was getting these emails
and recognized them as a useful means of service of process, right before Bailiff Reyes authoritatively demanded that I cease talking with Mr. Young and that "Inspector
Covington is your contact...strict "Orders" from Mr. Helzer, no more talky with DDDA Young, got it? Good, no hurry up and grab your papers and crap and leave my
courtroom.
This is not everything of course, you DDA Young did refuse to take some items I attempted to provide to him, or serve him, in and out of the courtroom, so...I guess he
"refused" service. Anyways, that's what the RMC tells me if I don't sign every piece of paper they shove in my face, whether or not I am handcuffed at the time, and thus,
could not turn the pages for reviewing them... Your office, including Ms. Galli, I believe, and Inspector Covington have indicated they would not speak with me, and would
not allow me to partake in the Order approved by Judge Clifton on 11/27/12 wherein he authorized me to leave DDA Young no more than one three minute voice mail per
day, and required Young to communicate with opposing counsel, which he clearly is failing to do. Covington et al indicated that Bruce Lindsay was my counsel of record in
and beyond just the 2/13/13 contempt hearing (I appealed both rulings from that and attempted to serve your office the file stamped notices of appeal) in RCR2012-065630.
DDA Young indicated, RPC 3.8 or not, when he starts a trial, there is absolutely nothing that will bring him back to the plea bargain table, right or wrong, professional
responsibility be damned, costs on appeal be damned, waste of tax payer money or not, that's just how he does it, period. except for the fact that he offered me a plea
bargain through Diana Sims, Bruce Lindsay's associate, wherein if I agree to stip to a distrubing the peace charge and suspended 6 month sentence, with six months of
reports from my psychiatrist every two months, he will agree to that and recommend the judge accept that deal, as long as I email him with my approval of it in writing, as I
am doing so now, and indicate that I am doing so voluntarily and freely, which I am.

Dear Supervising Clerk Purdy,
TERMINOLOGY
Appropriate authority means the authority having responsibility for initiation of disciplinary process in connection with the violation to be reported. See Rules 2.14 and 2.15.
I am not longer and efiler, but was between 1/4/12 until deactivation in mid November of 2012. All during that time the only
pdf available for the 1/4/12 Supplemental in CV11-03628 was the attached 3 page version, which fails to include the actual
documents or filings listed in the "Appeal Receipt". Such a failure to include those filed, especially one that is characterized as
"Emergency Letter to Court from Zach Coughlin, Esq" (which is not a "letter" but rather my submission for filing of a "Notice
of Appeal" of the 12/21/11 Order Resolving Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien by RJC Judge Sferrazza. The failure to
include such items in what was provided to Judge Flanagan for review in the ROA became very deleterious to my case in a
number of ways, including as mentioned in Judge Flanagan's 3/30/12 Order denying my appeal, and now, arguably in the
12/14/12 Findings and Conclusions and Recommendation to disbar me permanently from the practice of law in Nevada incident
to opposing counsel Hill's allegation that my pursuing a stay, on or around December 22nd 2011, under NRS 40.385 was
vexatious or otherwise violative of RPC 3.1 (Meritorious Claims and Contentions) (which I believe the attached transcript from
Venetian v. Two Roads disproves).
I am writing to request the 2JDC email me or provide an electronic copy (or, a hard copy) of the entirety of what it received, at
any point, from the RJC in connection with the 1/4/12 Supplemental filing in CV11-03628.
I believe it would appropriate not to charge me for this given anything beyond the intial 3 page version of that 1/4/12 filing was
never available during an 11 month period wherein I did have an eFlex subscription.
A footnote on page 5 of Judge Flanagan's 3/30/12 Order in CV11-03628 indicates: "... In addition, because Coughlin failed
to timely file his notice of appeal regarding the personal property lien, see NRS 40.253(8), and because Coughlin's notice
of appeal fails to identify an error regarding the court's procedure in setting a hearing on this issue, this Court will no
consider this issue."
The testimony at Coughlin's formal disciplinary hearing on 11/14/12 included the following:
"FORMAL HEARING - Vol. I, (Pages 51:10 to 54:17)
51
...
12 Was Mr. Coughlin, in his dealings with you as
13 an attorney, was he truthful or did he show candor in his
14 dealings with you as a lawyer?
15 MR. COUGHLIN: I'm sorry, your Honor. If I
16 can interject. It's been well over 15 minutes.
17 MR. ECHEVERRIA: That's true. Do you want to
18 wrap it up, Mr. King?
19 MR. KING: Yes.
20 BY MR. KING:
21 Q With that said, did he show candor to you?
22 A In our dealings with Mr. Coughlin, you could
23 not trust him at all. No agreement ever made with
24 Mr. Coughlin was honored by him.
25 For example, when Judge Sferrazza ordered that
52
1 Mr. Coughlin could have two days -- he was originally
2 given a week to move his stuff out before the eviction
3 order was served. Thereafter there was a hearing. The
4 judge gave Mr. Coughlin two days to go in and remove his
5 possessions.
6 Mr. Coughlin -- we went over there, opened the
7 doors about 8:00 o'clock. He wasn't there. About 11:00
8 o'clock we get an e-mail from Mr. Coughlin saying I have
9 appealed Judge Sferrazza's ruling. That means his ruling
10 is stayed. That means I can go back into the house. I'm
11 staying in the house, and there's nothing you can do about
12 it.
13 MR. COUGHLIN: Objection, hearsay.
14 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Overruled.
15 THE WITNESS: Sometime later that day we got
16 an order from Judge Sferrazza saying that the request for
17 a stay had been denied. Mr. Coughlin had burned basically
18 a whole day doing nothing trying to get his stuff out.
19 That was typical....

53
1 top of what was going on.
2 Finally, when we got in the district court, we
3 were able to use the e-flex system, and we were able to
4 keep track of what was going on.
5 BY MR. KING:
6 Q Let me restate the question. The question is:
7 As an attorney, having a responsibility to be truthful and
8 to have candor with opposing counsel, was Mr. Coughlin
9 truthful, and did he use candor with you?
10 A No.
11 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. King, wrap it up, please.
12 You're limited to 15 minutes.
13 BY MR. KING:
14 Q Specifically relating to Mr. Coughlin's candor
15 to the court, did he show candor to the courts?
16 A No.
17 Q In his demeanor --
18 MR. COUGHLIN: Objection. Lack of foundation.
19 MR. KING: My last question.
20 MR. COUGHLIN: Pretty damming statement to
21 have no foundation.
22 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Please don't interrupt. We
23 haven't heard the question yet to which you've objected.
24 MR. COUGHLIN: The last one, whether I showed
25 candor to the court, and he said no.
54
1 MR. ECHEVERRIA: You object to that one? It's
2 overruled. Go ahead.
With respect to the NRS 40.385 Motion for Stay issues, I believe it may also be relevant the extent to which my attempted
filings were refused by the 2JDC from that time, especially given NRAP 8. Please see attached emails and CV11-03051.
Also, I am requesting an electronic copy of the entire file in DV08-01168 given I believe I was wrongfully withheld access
thereto during times of exigent circumstances in 2009 (please see attached emails and note the 5/20/09 filing by myself could
not have been consider in Judge Gardner's 5/21/09 Order given such 5/20/09 filing was not entered until at least 5/24/09,
despite what the file stamping thereon may indicated.
Please note WLS then Board President Breckenridge requesting and picking up the audio cd of the Uribe TPO hearing from
3/12/09 at which the 2JDC CAAW run TPO Office Advocate, Roxanne express aghast horror at Coughlin's representation of a
male domestic violence victim in FV09-00886. Further Elcano's representations vis a vis Coughlin's competency are not
exactly bourne out by Coughlin's filing in the Davenport TPO and divorce case upon his taking over for then WLS Board
President Breckenridge, whom missed the I-864 Affidavit of Support issue. Note, Coughlin, Judge Flanagan, and WCDA DDA
Halstead all worked together at Hale Lane.
Lastly, please consider that, as currently carried out by the WCSO Civil Division, Washoe County takes the absolutely most
brutal approach to conducting eviction lock-outs, essentially reading NRS 40.253 to allow the WCSO Civil Division race over
to a tenant's rental minutes after the summary eviction proceeding, and gain access with the help of a locksmith, and
immediately begin going through such a tenant's personalty, then locking them out (even without their medications or eyeglasses
or state issued identifcation) whereupon the tenant is then subjected to the fraudulent approach taken by some attorney's, such as
Richard G. Hill, Esq. (see his 12/2/11 coercive letter to Coughlin) in applying NRS 118A.460 in the most specious manner
imaginable.
There is a great deal of confusion as to the law in Nevada vis a vis 24 hour lock-out notices and how soon after posting one the
constable or Sheriff may effectuate the lock-out: http://www.lpsnv.com/EvictionFAQ.pdf: "7. DOES MY TENANT HAVE
RIGHTS? Yes they do. When the notice is served, your tenants rights state that they can contest the notice with the justice court from
the moment that they receive the notice. Their reasons can vary, but they must get their Tenants Response filed with the court of
jurisdiction. It will then be approved or denied by the judge. If it is approved, then a hearing will be scheduled. Your tenant can also
contest the 24 Hour Lock-out Notice, which is posted by the Constable. This notice is posted 24 hours before the Constable returns to
the property to do the lock change."
Gayle Kern, Esq., ought to have been made to follow RPC 3.5A, but regardless, she should not have been granted any Writ of
Restitution or Lockout Order on 3/15/12 merely upon a default basis Coughlin filed a detailed Tenant's Affidavit that could speak
for him at the hearing, and the initial burden is on the landlord (ie, the party moving for summary judgment under Anvui), and Kern
failed to even file a Landlord's Affidavit. Kern obtained a default summary eviction against Coughlin on 3/15/12 (despite Coughlin's
detailed 3/8/12 filing of a Tenant's Answer and Pre-Hearing Brief), resulting in Couglhin being summarily evicted at gunpoint hours
later (despite Kern having failed to first file a Landlord's Affidavit as required by NRS 40.253(6) (so if Coughlin was two minutes
late to that 3/15/12 hearing, why no overly rigid and formulaic application of procedural rules against Kern?). Consequently, at
Coughlin's 11/14/12 formal disciplinary hearing, NVB Judge Beesley testified as to Coughlin's appearance before him minutes after
being evicted at gunpoint by the WCSO (whom were violating NRS 40.253(6) in failing to post a lockout order, then wait 24 hours
before barging in with guns drawn). Somehow, Judge Beesley never considered that Sheriff misconduct might have an effect on
Coughlin's law practice, nor, curiously, did Judge Beesley manage to mention that Coughlin's 3/30/12 filing before him in NVB 10-
05104 Cadle Co. v. Keller detailed Judge Beesley's 1977 McGeorge School of Law classmate now RMC Judge Nash Holmes
confiscating Coughlin's smartphone and micro sd card after summarily incarcerating him for 5 days on 2/27/12, though such
confiscation occurred after Coughlin's personatly had been book in at the Washoe County Jail, and therefore was not done incident to a
search incident to arrest, and therefore required a warrant or Order to so take out of where it was booked into Coughlin's personal
property at the jail and release to the City of Reno Marshals a day later, as WCSO Deputy Hodge admitted to Coughlin, with local
attorney Pam Willmore standing by, on March 19th, 2012. Following the 3/30/12 filing by Coughlin detailing this before Judge
Beesley, Judge Nash Holmes entered an Order releasing Coughlin's property entered 3/30/12. WCDA DDA Kandaras finally signed
off on that Order and Coughlin's was only then permitted to retrieve his property on 4/7/12, though all the data thereon was wiped
prior to it being returned to Coughlin. Coughlin did not lie to Judge Nash Holmes in court on 2/27/12 in 11 TR 26800, and Judge
Nash Holmes has offered nothing in the way of factual support for her initial contention that Coughlin had lied to her that day, which,
during Coughlin's cross examination of her at his formal disciplinary hearing on 11/14/12, resulted in the basis proffered by Judge
Nash Holmes for her suspicion that Coughlin had lied to her being thoroughly and easily disproven given the patent inaccuracies
inherent to Judge Nash Holmes contention that she had interrogated Coughlin about recording and recording devices prior to his
requesting to be permitted to use the restroom, when, in fact, such interrogation only occurred after the one and only restroom break in
that "simple traffic citation".
Further, Judge Nash Holmes consistently alternates between finding something occurred by "clear and convincing evidence" only to
alternately characterize her findings as indicated such was "probable" or that she believes something "probably occurred":
HEARING - Vol. I, (Pages 139:11 to 157:2)
139
11 ut a bathroom break?
12 A I'm sorry. What marshals when?
13 Q Well, the ones you reference on the audio from
14 the March 12th hearing?
15 A Well, again, which -- my marshals. Could you
16 be more specific, please, in your question?
17 Q How much have they told you about the
18 hearing --
19 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, you interrupted
20 the judge. She asked you a question. Do you want to be
21 specific as to a particular conversation?
22 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
23 Q Yeah. There was one bathroom break in the
24 hearing. What were you told during the bathroom break by
25 either a marshal or the city attorney?
140
1 MR. ECHEVERRIA: With respect to any
2 particular issue, Mr. Coughlin?
3 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
4 Q No. Just anything. Anything connected to me?
5 MR. ECHEVERRIA: That's what I'm asking. Is
6 it involving you, sir?
7 MR. COUGHLIN: Yes.
8 MR. ECHEVERRIA: All right.
9 THE WITNESS: Mr. Coughlin asked for a
10 bathroom break. I originally said I would not give the
11 break. And then I said that I would, but he had to leave
12 all his materials in the courtroom. And I said that
13 because I suspected that he was tape-recording the court
14 proceedings without my permission, and without asking
15 permission first. Because he's apparently been known to
16 do that.
17 MR. COUGHLIN: Objection, hearsay. Lack of
18 foundation.
19 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Overruled.
20 THE WITNESS: So I required one of my marshals
21 to accompany him to the restroom.
22 MR. COUGHLIN: She just gets to say a bunch of
23 hearsay?
24 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, she is
25 responding to your question.
141
1 Go ahead, Judge.
2 THE WITNESS: When the marshals came back from
3 the restroom, they told me that Mr. Coughlin had, in fact,
4 been recording the proceedings because he had disassembled
5 a device and left parts of it in the bathroom. Or left --
6 disassembled parts of it, and then they discovered parts
7 of it.
8 In any case, when he was taken into custody
9 and held in contempt of court at the jail, he had
10 physically two recording devices on him, a cell phone --
11 either two cell phones or a cell phone and some other
12 recording device. I assumed that was pieces of which he
13 was messing with in the bathroom.
14 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
15 Q Which marshal told you that?
16 A I'm sorry? I can't hear that.
17 Q Which marshal --
18 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, you don't need
19 to yell.
20 THE WITNESS: It was Marshal Harley that told
21 me that, Joel Harley, H-a-r-l-e-y. He said when they went
22 in and checked the bathroom after Mr. Coughlin left, and
23 he had found evidence that he had disassembled some object
24 or something in there.
25 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
142
1 Q What evidence, and what object?
2 A I just described it as some sort of a
3 recording device. Whether it was a cell phone and he took
4 the SIM card out or whatever it was, I wasn't sure. But I
5 had asked you, Mr. Coughlin, point blank in court if you
6 were recording, and you told me no. And then you asked
7 immediately to go to the bathroom, and I said no. And
8 then you begged and squirmed and said you had to relieve
9 yourself, and I had to let you go to the bathroom. And
10 then when you did that, you went into the bathroom --
11 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
12 Q Really?
13 A Took apart and disassembled a recording
14 device.
15 Q Really? Would audio show that, Judge?
16 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin. I've asked you
17 repeatedly to please not interrupt people.
18 MR. COUGHLIN: I thought she was done.
19 MR. ECHEVERRIA: It was clear she wasn't when
20 you were interrupting her.
21 MR. COUGHLIN: All right.
22 MR. ECHEVERRIA: You will cease that conduct.
23 MR. COUGHLIN: Okay.
24 MR. ECHEVERRIA: You've asked a question of
25 the judge. She answered it. Do you have a question?
143
1 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
2 Q Judge, was there one bathroom break during the
3 trial?
4 A I'm sorry. The crowd has recessed here, and
5 let me move across the hallway, because I can't hear
6 anything right now, there's a big crowd.
7 Q Don't worry. Just my law license, Judge. No
8 biggie.
9 Was there one bathroom break?
10 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, I for one do
11 not appreciate your side comments. I think you should
12 focus seriously on the issues to be addressed here. The
13 judge simply asked for accommodation so she could hear.
14 MR. COUGHLIN: I only have so much time, your
15 Honor.
16 MR. ECHEVERRIA: I know. Quit wasting it.
17 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
18 Q Was there one bathroom break during the trial?
19 A There was one bathroom break.
20 Q Have you reviewed the audio of that trial?
21 A I'm sorry, I can't hear you again. Say it
22 again.
23 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Did you review the audio of
24 the trial?
25 THE WITNESS: I have not reviewed them
144
1 recently, no. I did at the time. I did when I entered my
2 contempt order and sent my package to the discipline
3 board.
4 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
5 Q Why does the audio of the trial indicate that
6 you did not ask any questions about recording until after
7 the one bathroom break?
8 A I'm not sure that's the case. I don't know.
9 Q That is the case.
10 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin --
11 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
12 Q Yet you testified today that Mr. Coughlin
13 asked to use the bathroom right after I asked him about
14 recording. How do you explain that?
15 A I don't know the sequence of events. I don't
16 recall --
17 Q You just said you --
18 A I listened to the audio at the time when
19 things happened. And when you came back from the
20 bathroom, either way I determined from -- I concluded that
21 you were most likely recording without my permission.
22 Q Earlier your testimony was that you asked
23 Mr. Coughlin if he was recording, and he got real squirmy
24 and asked to use the bathroom. Is that correct?
25 A Yes.
145
1 Q Now are you remixing that testimony?
2 A No.
3 Q You just said, I don't know the sequence of
4 events.
5 A Well, I don't recall the sequence of events.
6 I know that I asked you if you were recording. You denied
7 you were. I asked you a couple times if you were
8 recording, if you had gotten permission to record, what
9 you were doing. And at some point it was determined that
10 you most likely were.
11 Q You know there is an audio of these things
12 you're testifying to, right, that we can like compare to
13 what you're saying; right, Judge?
14 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, please exhibit
15 a civilized tone.
16 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
17 Q You're aware there's an audio?
18 A Yes, there's an audio. I have not --
19 Q That we can compare --
20 A -- I'm giving you my best recollection at this
21 time.
22 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, you're trying
23 my patience with your continuing interruptions. That's
24 not evincing the conduct of a competent lawyer. You
25 should wait until the witness finishes before interrupting
146
1 her.
2 MR. COUGHLIN: Yes, sir.
3 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Go ahead. Ask your next
4 question.
5 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
6 Q So the marshals said Mr. Coughlin left some
7 disassembled part of a recording device in the bathroom,
8 and they retrieved it from there; is that correct?
9 A I don't recall the exact words. The
10 impression I got from what the marshal said is that you
11 had gone into the bathroom, disassembled some sort of
12 recording device, and they went in the bathroom after you
13 and checked that and determined that. That's my
14 recollection of the events.
15 Q Is that murky recollection of yours maybe the
16 reason why the law requires, in a contempt not occurring
17 in the immediate presence of a judge, that somebody
18 actually put their name on an affidavit and sign it?
19 MR. KING: Mr. Chairman, as Bar counsel, a
20 member for Bar Counsel office, I find --
21 THE WITNESS: Mr. Coughlin, you were not found
22 in contempt on that reason alone. You were found in
23 contempt for engaging in behavior of the same kind it
24 appears that you're doing now, and much more than that.
25 And you were found in contempt for your entire conduct
147
1 throughout the course of the proceedings, including
2 repeatedly asking questions I ordered you not to ask,
3 delving into areas I had ruled were inadmissible, being
4 disrespectful, making faces, pretending like you were a
5 mime, sitting down, slumping down, standing up, walking
6 around, and doing a number of other things that were
7 completely improper in the manner of conducting a trial.
8 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
9 Q Is it proper procedure for you to --
10 A -- among one of the many reason why I found
11 you in contempt of court, sir.
12 Q Is it proper for you to call something summary
13 criminal contempt when you cite to a civil contempt
14 statute?
15 A I don't know what is proper in your book,
16 Mr. Coughlin. I know that the behavior that I saw, I know
17 that I held you in contempt, I held a precise -- you
18 committed direct contempt in front of me in my court --
19 Q Criminal contempt or civil contempt?
20 A -- I held you in contempt on the spot, and
21 then I went and wrote the order.
22 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, you continue to
23 interrupt. I'm getting very tired of it. That's improper
24 behavior. As you said, your law license is at stake here.
25 You should exhibit behavior that would justify you keeping
148
1 it. Have I made myself clear?
2 MR. COUGHLIN: Yes.
3 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Thank you.
4 Go ahead, Judge. Had you finished?
5 THE WITNESS: I finished with that answer,
6 yes.
7 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Go ahead, Mr. Coughlin.
8 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
9 Q Judge, did your order characterize it as
10 misdemeanor criminal contempt?
11 A I do not have my order in front of me, so you
12 can consult my order. I believe it was misdemeanor
13 contempt. I believe it was criminal, direct criminal
14 contempt.
15 MR. COUGHLIN: I'll note on Page 3 at line 14
16 it says, Misdemeanor of criminal contempt, a violation of
17 NRS 22.010.
18 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Which order are you referring
19 to, Mr. Coughlin?
20 MR. COUGHLIN: February 28th order. Page 3,
21 line 14.
22 MR. KING: I think it's Exhibit No. 4.
23 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Okay.
24 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
25 Q Judge, is NRS 22.010 a civil contempt statute?
149
1 MR. KING: Objection.
2 THE WITNESS: Mr. Coughlin, you can consult
3 the statutes. I don't have my books right in front of me.
4 NRS identifies in Chapter 22 contempt. And the Reno
5 Municipal Code has sections relating that or incorporating
6 those sections into the Reno Municipal Code.
7 Either way, what you did in front of me was
8 direct contempt, and I held you in direct contempt, and
9 you went to jail for five days because of it.
10 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
11 Q Is it permissible for a judge to call a civil
12 contempt statute a criminal contempt statute, vis-a-vis --
13 this is 22.010, a civil contempt statute. And the law in
14 Nevada does have NRS 199 -- I believe it's 240 -- which is
15 the criminal contempt statute. Is it permissible for you
16 to cite to a -- easier to meet civil contempt statute, and
17 then recharacterize it as criminal contempt?
18 MR. KING: Objection.
19 THE WITNESS: Mr. Coughlin, I'm not going to
20 argue the law with you. You have the statutes there. You
21 can consult them yourself.
22 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
23 Q On Page 3 at line 4, sub .9 --
24 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Which exhibit, sir?
25 MR. COUGHLIN: Exhibit 4, your Honor.
150
1 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
2 Q You wrote, defendant lying to the court in
3 response to direct questions posed by the court.
4 What were the lies in your vague order that
5 lacks any specificity to support a summary contempt
6 finding, what were those lies that you failed to elucidate
7 in your order?
8 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, that question
9 is argumentative. Do you want to rephrase it?
10 MR. COUGHLIN: Sure.
11 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
12 Q What were you referring to when you wrote,
13 "Defendant lying to the court in response to direct
14 questions"?
15 A Well, it would be explained in the order
16 there. I don't remember everything at this time because I
17 don't have it in front of me. But I do believe that you
18 lied about or misrepresented that you were not recording,
19 because I believe you probably were. I don't know. I
20 believe you probably were.
21 At the same time there were things that you
22 and the prosecutor were arguing about with regard to
23 discovery. And she disagreed with you and said you were
24 lying to her about that. And there were other items that
25 you went back and forth about that appeared to me that you
151
1 were not totally honest about.
2 Q So when --
3 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Excuse me. Mr. Coughlin, let
4 the record reflect that it's 12:18. I'll afford you two
5 more minutes.
6 MR. COUGHLIN: Thank you, sir.
7 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
8 Q When you say, alternately you were probably
9 lying. And then you put in your order, "I find by clear
10 and convincing evidence that he lied," is that ambiguous
11 there? How do you reconcile that?
12 A How do I reconcile what?
13 Q The fact that your order says you find by
14 clear and convincing evidence?
15 A Because that's what I wrote. I did find by
16 clear and convincing evidence. I found by absolutely
17 convincing evidence that you were behaving improperly in
18 court, as you are now, apparently.
19 Q You're saying you found by clear and
20 convincing evidence that a licensed attorney lied to the
21 court. And then you characterize that as probably, well,
22 I kind of think he was. I think he was, because I know
23 some unattributed hearsay that I'm going to base it on.
24 I'm going to get the order I think is wrong about the
25 bathroom break. I'm not going to have a marshal sign an
152
1 affidavit. Then I'm going to remix a criminal contempt
2 statute with a summary contempt statute and pick and
3 choose and make it as retaliatory as I possibly can.
4 Isn't that a fair characterization of your approach as a
5 judge?
6 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Judge, you don't need to
7 answer that question. That was way out of line, and
8 extremely argumentative.
9 THE WITNESS: Thank you.
10 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Do you want to ask a
11 legitimate question, Mr. Coughlin?
12 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
13 Q What basis do you have to assert in your order
14 that defendant lying to the court in response to direct
15 questions posed by the court with regard to his recording
16 the proceedings?
17 A The opinion is self-explanatory. I do not
18 have it in front of me, Mr. Coughlin. You have access to
19 the tapes and the opinion. And I stand by what I wrote,
20 and I stand by the proceedings that day.
21 Q But it's kind of hard to pick inconsistencies
22 in your testimony today and those materials when you
23 refuse to testify now, isn't it?
24 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Argumentative, Mr. Coughlin.
25 You are not assisting yourself here.
153
1 MR. COUGHLIN: I'm asking her. It's a
2 question.
3 MR. ECHEVERRIA: No.
4 MR. COUGHLIN: Is that not true that she is
5 subverting the legal process by refusing to testify
6 instead of saying, well, read the order and read -- listen
7 to the recording, and therefore she is not subjecting
8 herself to putting forth any further inconsistencies.
9 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin, the time for
10 argument is later, not now.
11 MR. COUGHLIN: Okay. So I'm objecting. It's
12 nonresponsive.
13 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
14 Q What was your basis --
15 MR. ECHEVERRIA: That objection is overruled.
16 Now it's 12:20. If you have anything further of
17 significance that's relevant to the issues in this case,
18 please ask that question, I'll allow you one more.
19 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
20 Q What was communicated to you during the
21 bathroom break, and by whom?
22 MR. KING: Asked and answered.
23 MR. ECHEVERRIA: I think you've asked that.
24 MR. COUGHLIN: I don't think she answered it.
25 MR. ECHEVERRIA: She did. Do you have another
154
1 question, Mr. Coughlin?
2 MR. COUGHLIN: Sure.
3 BY MR. COUGHLIN:
4 Q Did you or anyone with the Reno Municipal
5 Court transmit or otherwise deliver Judge Linda Gardner's
6 order for sanctions to the State Bar of Nevada?
7 A I'm sorry. I didn't hear all that. Did I
8 what? You'll have to repeat the question.
9 Q Did you or anybody with your court, the Reno
10 Municipal Court, transmit or otherwise deliver Judge Linda
11 Gardner's April 2009 order sanctioning me to the State Bar
12 of Nevada?
13 A I'm sorry. Deliver to whom?
14 MR. ECHEVERRIA: The State Bar, Judge.
15 THE WITNESS: Oh. After -- let me explain
16 quickly. My trial was my first experience in exposure to
17 Mr. Coughlin. After everything happened, and I held him
18 in contempt, then Judge Gardner told me that his sister,
19 Judge Gardner, has a life experience with Mr. Coughlin,
20 and he provided me a copy of her opinion from a couple
21 years earlier. And that may have been in the package I
22 forwarded to the court. I forwarded everything I could
23 possibly include that would show Mr. Coughlin's ability to
24 practice law. Including Mr. Coughlin's 200-page motion
25 that he faxed to the court.
155
1 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Thank you, Judge. It's now
2 12:22, and we'll excuse you. And we appreciate you taking
3 the time --
4 MR. COUGHLIN: Can I ask one more question
5 about the pending --
6 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin --
7 MR. COUGHLIN: -- competency evaluation or --
8 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Mr. Coughlin.
9 MR. COUGHLIN: -- with the trial? It's a good
10 question.
11 MR. ECHEVERRIA: It's an interruptive
12 question, and it's improper conduct.
13 MR. COUGHLIN: You're not going to let her
14 answer that, huh? You are not going to make her answer
15 that?
16 MR. ECHEVERRIA: I'm sorry. I continue to
17 talk while you're trying to interrupt.
18 Judge, thank you for your testimony.
19 MR. COUGHLIN: She held a trial with a pending
20 competency evaluation in violation of law.
21 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Quit interrupting,
22 Mr. Coughlin.
23 MR. COUGHLIN: I just got it on the record.
24 MR. ECHEVERRIA: Thank you, Judge. We
25 appreciate you taking your time into the lunch hour.
156
1 THE WITNESS: Thank you. I'll hang up now.
2 MR. KING: Thank you, Judge.
3 MR. ECHEVERRIA: It's now 12:23. Mr. King, do
4 you have additional witnesses?
5 MR. KING: I have -- my understanding is I'll
6 have two additional witnesses. I'm not certain that I
7 will be able to reach them, but Judge Howard and Judge
8 Elliott.
9 MR. COUGHLIN: I'd like to call Judge Nash
10 Holmes in my case in chief and ask her why she persists in
11 holding trial if she was aware of a pending competency
12 order.
13 MR. ECHEVERRIA: You had the opportunity to
14 ask her those questions.
15 MR. COUGHLIN: No, I didn't. You just refused
16 it to me.
17 MR. ECHEVERRIA: No, I gave you --
18 MR. COUGHLIN: You did another basis for an
19 impartiality finding.
20 MR. ECHEVERRIA: I'm sorry. I have this
21 terrible habit of continually talking while you're trying
22 to --
23 MR. COUGHLIN: You're not letting me ask any
24 question that would tend to implicate impropriety on the
25 part of a judge.
157
1 MR. ECHEVERRIA: You can characterize the
2 rulings as you wish. I have made the rulings."
Regardless, in both 1708 and 374, NRS 40.253 does not allow for the Washoe County Sheriff to conduct evictions in the manner in
which is currently does. Hill's filings claim that the WCSO's procedures, by being the usual and customary practices of the WCSO,
somehow become black letter law in Nevada, even where a statutory remedy is in place, one that the legislature worked hard on
(despite RJC Judge Pearson, in 1048, ignoring AB226's minor tenant's rights victory where it required the landlord to, under NRS
40.253(3)(a) identify the court that has jurisdiction over the matter... and 3(b)(1)'s dctate that such notice advise the tenant: (1)Of
the tenants right to contest the matter by filing,... an affidavit with the court that has jurisdiction over the matter..., in the face of
the unauthorized practice of law on behalf of out of state corporation no less, Northwinds Apartments Assoc., LLC of Washington
state.
NRS 40.253(6) provides...6.Upon the filing by the tenant of the affidavit permitted in subsection 3, regardless of the information
contained in the affidavit, and the filing by the landlord of the affidavit permitted by subsection 5 (note, both in 1708 and 374,
neither landlord filed such a Landlord's Affidavit in a timely manner, and Merliss in 1708 never filed one at all. If Baker and Hill
want big boy attorney's fees, they should be required to get those sorts of things right to justify such exorbinant fees, or even begin to),
the justice court or the district court shall hold a hearing, after service of notice of the hearing upon the parties, to determine the
truthfulness and sufficiency of any affidavit or notice (Baker continually maintained that it was only Coughlin's Affidavit which was up
for inspection, in violation of RPC 3.1) provided for in this section. If the court determines that there is no legal defense as to the
alleged unlawful detainer and the tenant is guilty of an unlawful detainer, the court may issue a summary order for removal of the
tenant or an order providing for the nonadmittance of the tenant.
So, really, especially in 1708, all the debate about the import and application of the within 24 hours language is inapplicable
anyways, as that phrase is only applicable to a situation where the tenant does not file a Tenant's Answer in respose to a 5 day
UD Notice being posted.
NRS 40.253(5):.Upon noncompliance with the notice:
(a)The landlord or the landlords agent may apply by affidavit of complaint (note, there is nothing in Ch. 40 that allows for a
landlord's agent to draft pleadings or appear on behalf of an out of state corporation, cross the bar, and practice law on its
behalf, as WNM's Sue Kign did in 074408 and 374, and as NCS's Jeff Chandler did in 1048) for eviction to the justice court of
the township in which the dwelling, apartment, mobile home or commercial premises are located or to the district court of the
county in which the dwelling, apartment, mobile home or commercial premises are located, whichever has jurisdiction over the
matter (in 374, RJC Judge Schroeder issued such an Order prior to Kern even filing a Landlord's Answer). The court may
thereupon issue an order directing the sheriff or constable of the county to remove the tenant within 24 hours after receipt of
the order.
But, again, where Coughlin did comply with the 5 day notice, in both 1048, 374, and 1708, NRS 40.253(5) language is inapplicable
(The court may thereupon issue an order directing the sheriff or constable of the county to remove the tenant within 24 hours
after receipt of the order.) Rather, it is NRS 40.253(6)'s language that controls: If the court determines that there is no
legal defense as to the alleged unlawful detainer and the tenant is guilty of an unlawful detainer, the court may issue a
summary order for removal of the tenant or an order providing for the nonadmittance of the tenant.
There being nothing thereing speaking to some within 24 hours dicate, the default application in civil law requires that such
an an Order be served under NRCP 6(e) where personal service is not accorded, thus requiring 3 days for mailing. Further,
NRAP 8 and some 5 day stay suggested in Anvui, is arguably applicable. There is little indication in Ch. 40 or elsehwhere to
provide some explanation of just how and in what manner such a summary order would be carried out and whether it would
allow for the approach taken by the WCSO in such situations. While NRS 40.253(3)(b)(2) does contain the term summary
order, the appearance therein of the within 24 hours language, combined with the non-appearance of such within 24 hours
language in NRS 40.253(6), under traditional principles of statutory construction, actually augers for an interpretation of
subsection 6 that would require more time for a tenant than is provided for under NRS 40.253(3)(b)(2):That if the court
determines that the tenant is guilty of an unlawful detainer, the court may issue a summary order for removal of the tenant or
an order providing for the nonadmittance of the tenant, directing the sheriff or constable of the county to remove the tenant
within 24 hours after receipt of the order...
It seems rather implausible to suggest that the within 24 hours language is some dictate to the Sheriff or constable requiring
such lockouts be effectuated in some narrow window of time. Rather, particularly given the primacy to individual's and
businesses inherent to their uses as residences of places of business (or, in 1708, as both) it would seem entirely more likely,
and reasonable, to conclude that the legislature intended for the within 24 hours language to afford tenant's at least 24
hours from the posting (if not the constructive receipt in the mail under NRCP 6(e) if no personal service was to be had) of
such a lock-out Order to remove those items they find absolutely essential (see Coughlin's difficulties in 1048 where deprived
of his medications, eyeglasses, contacts, some important legal files, etc, not to mention the RPC 3.5A violation attendant to the
default on 7/5/12, especially where the RJC and NCS's Chandler knew Coughlin was in jail incident to a 7/3/12 arrest
stemming from Northwind's handyman Kreb's falacious accusation of Coughlin disturbing the peace.
the court may issue a summary order for removal of the tenant
Also, the RJC may need to explain why it failed to file in fax filings by Coughlin where it either did file in some by Hill and
Baker in 1708 (or consider any failure to file any 10/13/11 Affidavit of Unlawful Detainer by landlord Merliss).
The SBN is likely resting upon some theory that the TPO and EPO granted it by RJC Judge Pearson, which indicates that Coughlin
may . First, the 1/4/13 EPO granted the SBN indicates that Patrick Owen King, Esq., appeared at the Extension Hearing to represent
the SBN. As such, King, knowing he was extremely likely to be a witness in such an action, had a duty to withdraw from
representation, and therefore himself violated a RPC 1.16 requir he so withdraw where his being a witness was a virtual certainty.
Further, King's TPO application rests almost entirely on unsworn hearsay, for which King makes no indication with regard to from
whom or how he became aware of such hearsay detailing such purported facts. For instance, the magic of hearsay may allow a
comment like its not fair that Bar Counsel King gets all this ex parte face time with Panel Chair Echeverria that may have been said
to Dena Echeverria on the telephone to become, according to King, a statement by Coughlin to Echeverria's staff that he was coming
down to the Panel Chair's Office, threatening to get some face time. Coughlin's 1996 Honda Accord's electrical problems (an
electrical short caused problems with Coughlin's headlights requiring a primitive workaround requiring Coughlin to braids five
elecrical wires together to turn his vehicle's headlights on...something King alleges, through unattributed hearsay, was a case of
Coughlin malingering around the SBN's Northern Office after 5 pm flashing his headlights at the one or two women whom were
working late (because, one can be absolutely sure, Asst. Bar Counsel King has never worked late a day in his life, and certainly not
while employed by the SBN, thanks to SCR 106, natch), in an attempt to frighten and harass them. Then there is the curiosu allegation
by King in his TPO application that Coughlin called the SBN ahead to announce he would be there in fifteen minutes to file something.
King somehow alleges that is threatening behavior even where he subsequently indicates that he had sent Coughlin a letter demanding
that Coughlin do just that prior to appearing at the SBN for any reason, including to file documents.

-February 27th, 2012: despite being present at the "clandestine status conference" (Dogan's client Coughlin was noticed, in
writing, that it had been reset to March 29th, 2012) DDA Young filed an Opposition to Motion to Continue Trial Date and
Motion to Appoint Co-Counsel on 2/27/12 at 2:55 pm in a companion case that he was also prosecuting, RCR2011-063341 in
violation of NRS 178.405. In her March 13th, 2012 grievance against Coughlin, Judge Nash Holmes admits to
communications in this regard between her and the Washoe County Public Defender's Office. -February 27th, 2012: At 3:00
pm, despite the communications she admits to with the WCPD, Judge Nash Holmes holds a trial where Coughlin is forced to
appear as an indigent criminal defendant proceeding with self representation in 11 TR 26800, which is suspened upon Judge
Nash Holmes finding Coughlin in "summary criminal contempt" seconds after he testifies that RPD Sargetn Tarter lied in
connection with a retaliatory traffic citations incident to Tarter telling Coughlin to leave the law office of Richard G. Hill, Esq.
on November 15th, 2012 after Coughlin was released from 3 days in jail incident to a criminal trespass custodial arrest upon
Hill lying to officers and signing a criminal complaint in 11 CR 26405 for criminal trespass on November 13th, 2012. Tarter
ordered Coughlin to leave after Hill refused to give Coughlin his state issued drivers license or identification, his hard
drives/client's files, his keys, or his wallet. -Judge Nash Holmes proceeds to file numerous Orders -March 5th, 2012: in RMC
11 CR 26405, the criminal trespass case from Coughlin's former home law office the Certified Copy of Docket done by the
Judicial Assistant, D2's Lisa Wagner, who couldn't quite seem to find or remember the fact that Coughlin faxed in a Notice of
Appeal on June 28th, 2012, and her failure to docket that led to the dismissal of Coughlin's appeal in CR12-1262, despite
Coughlin having electronic confirmation of receipt of that fax delivering his Notice of Appeal to the RMC and to City Attorney
Hazlett-Stevens (whom coyly tries to assert he didn't get it or the paper copy Coughlin personally delivered to the offices of the
City Attorney within the 10 days set forth in NRS 189.010) Trial date set for April 10, 2012 by Court. -05 March 2012: Notice

April 2012: Defendant appeared for trial with counsel Keith Loomis, Judge William Gardner
1/5
presiding. Present on behalf of the City was Christopher Hazlett-Stevens. Several pre-trial motions were heard. An Order
Suspending Proceedings was signed. All proceedings suspended until the question of competence is determined. Case Status
Hearing scheduled for 8, May 2012. RMC 11 CR 26405. See attached emails demonstrating the knowledge of and complicity
between the Washoe County Public Defenders, the court appointed Reno Municipal Court defenders, the City of Reno
Prosecutors, Washoe County District Attorney's Office, RMC, RJC, and both court's filing office's staff and administrators
respecting the existence of these Orders for Competency Evaluation and the brazen violation of NRS 178.405 and NRs 5.010
by these individuals. Further, on
-April 19th, 2012, DDA Young again violated NRS 178.405 where he moved to have Coughlin remanded to custody
(whereupon Coughlin could again have his medication suddenly withheld from him, all while RMC Judge Nash Holmes seeks
to leverage jail staff to get Coughlin to sign some waiver of his medical records privacy rights and where WCPD Biray Dogan
announces confidential HIPAA protected medical information relating to his client Coughlin into the public record, in front of
40 members of the public gathered in D10, a transgression which WCPD Jeremy Bosler later refused to seek to ameliorate or
strike from the record in any manner whatsoever).
-May 7th, 2012 (the day Coughlin's Opposition to Hill and Baker's 4/19/12 impermissible Post-Judgment Attorney Fee
Sanctions Motion in CV11-03628 (no 21 day filing ready safe harbor motion served either, much like the approach by
Springgate approved of by Judge L. Gardner incident to here 4/13/09 Order After Trial in DV08-01168, which became
the third grievance against Coughlin underpinning the appeal in 62337 of the Recommendation to permanently disbar
him...so, just who is it who is asserting non-meritorious contentions?). Further, Judge Flanagan's 8/28/12 Order in
CV11-03628 makes clear that his 6/25/12 Order awarding landlord Merliss (incident to Hill and Baker's attorney fee
sanction motion) was only entered in view of Judge Flanagan's opinion that Coughlin failed to oppose their 4/19/12
Motion for Attorney Fee's Sanctions in light of DCR 13(3). Apparently the Washoe County jail ripping Coughlin of
psychotropic medications and refusing him any ability to file court documents, paper, envelopes, or even make phone
calls did not provide "good cause" for reconsidering that monumental fee award. Coughlin, or those attorney's seeking
sanctions under NRS 7.085 without complying with the dictates of NRCP 11? in RCR2011-063341 WCPD Goodnight and
DDA Young violate NRS 178.405 by attempting TO HOLD A TRIAL in that matter during the pendency of an Order for
Competency directored towards Goodnight's client, Coughlin. Goodnight manages to jam Coughlin into an ill-advised Mental
Health Court sign-up in MH12-0032, which ends badly when the MHC's Reno Biondo commits fraud in asserting that
Coughlin was removed from the MHC for "failing to following MHC policies" similar to the arguments put forth by Sharon
Dollarhide, despite the MHC, and perhaps Goodnight too, having given Coughlin a list of medications it prohibits, and a
contract for entry into the MCH, after having informed Coughlin he was accepted into the MCH upon entering the contract. The
MCH subsequently threatened Coughlin with incarceration for taking a medication is only after the fact objected to, then, upon
having the bargained for consieration, offer and acceptance pointed out to it, the MCH lied and disparaged Coughlin to the RJC
and others, causing Coughlin reputational damage, and Coughlin's case was remanded to the RJC at a later date. During this
period of time, D10 Judge Elliot forced Coughlin back into custody at the WCDC, where Coughlin has been denied his
medication every single one of his 10 trips to jail this year, with no titration down of dosing whatsoever, even where Coughlin
was willing and able to arrange for delivery of the medication at his own expense, etc.
-08 May 2012: Case Status hearing held before Judge William Gardner. Present on behalf of the City was Deputy City Attorney
Christopher Hazlett-Stevens, for the defense Keith Loomis and defendant Zachary Coughlin. Defendant was found to be
competent. Defendant's motion to remove Keith Loomis as counsel granted. Trial date set by the court for June 18,2012. RMC
11 CR 26405. Strangely, despite Coughlin still being subject to an as yet to be ruled upon Order For Competency evaluation
and despite Coughlin having just the previous day been accepted into Mental Health Court and the RJC case RCR2011-063341
transferred there, RMC Judge William Gardner jammed Coughlin both into proceeding without the Sixth Amendment Right To
Counsel and into some trial setting, even though NRS 178.405 and NRS 5.010 forbids it, and even though Judge Gardner
admitted to being aware of Judge Nash Holmes, his fellow RMC Judge, seeking to have Coughlin's law license taken away
based upon a SCR 117 Disability Petition (Judge Nash Holmes, in her March 14th, 2012 letter/grievance to the State Bar of
Nevada, wherein she purports to speak for Judge William Gardner and managed to pass on to the SBN the April 2009 Order For
Sanctions by Judge William Gardner's sister Family Court Judge Linda Gardner, that Judge William Gardner passed to Judge
Nash Holmes after receiving from his sister sometime in
2/5
the first quarter of 2012). Incidentally, Coughlin was previously a domestic violence attorney at Washoe Legal Services until
Family Court Judge Linda Gardner's April 2009 Order sanctioning Coughlin $1,000 personally for the arguments he made in
representing a domestic violence victim in a divorce trial were cited by WLS Executive Director Paul Elcano as the "sole
reason" for Coughlin being fired. Coughlin filed a Petition for Writ of Mandamus in respone to that Order with the Nevada
Supreme Court in 54844. Coughlin filed a Notice of Appeal of the dismissal for insufficient service of process of his wrongful
termination case against Washoe Legal Services on February 27th, 2012, and that matter is currently on appeal with the Nevada
Supreme Court in 60302. Oh, and Reno City Attorney John Kadlic is a patient of Zach Coughlin's father, Dr. Timothy
Coughlin, and the City of Reno and or the RPD have sought to pressure Coughlin's parents into having him "committed",
despite the fact that the numerous (about 8-10 ish) wrongful arrests Coughlin has been subjected to this year (most of which
violate Soldal v. Cook County and have been captured on video tape, amazingly) all kind of give Mr. Kadlic a bit motivation to
quiet and or discredit Coughlin (and and arrest on June 28th, 2012 by the WCSO and various instances this year where
fraudulent Affidavits of Service by the WCSO have been involved in arrests of Coughlin give the WCDA Office its own
motivations).
Given that this trial setting and denial of Coughlin's Sixth Amendment Right to Counsel occurred during the pendency of an
Order for Competency Evaluation of Coughlin that the RMC, Judge William Gardner, court appointed defender Keith Loomis,
Esq. and City Attorney's Christopher Hazlett-Stevens, Esq. were well aware of, the following are void: O5 June 2012: Notice
Of Appearance As Counsel ; Motion To Dismiss; Motion To Suppress; Motion For A Continuance Of Trial And Transfer To
Mental Health Court filed by defendant. 18 June 2012: Defendant appeared for trial pro-per, Judge William Gardner presiding.
Present on behalf of the City was Christopher Hazlett-Stevens. Several pre-trial motions were heard. Motion to Continue filed
by defendant denied. Motion to Dismiss filed by defendant denied. Motion to Suppress denied. Motion to Recuse denied.
Motion to Transfer to Mental Health Court denied. Case tried on its merits and the Defendant was found guilty of the charge of
Trespass, a violation of R.M.C 08.10.010. .."'Y25'2012 The Defendant was sentenced as follows: Trespass, a violation of
R.M.C 08.10.0 10. : Time Served (3 days at usual $100 a day, and a $310.00 fine for a total of $610 raked in by the RMC on a
first offense trespass charge where typically the fine is $305. Also, Richard G. Hill, Esq. lied under oath at that June 18th, 2012
criminal trespass Trial where he testified that the RPD identified themselves as law enforcement and issued a lawful order or
warning for Coughlin to leave the premises prior to the landlord kicking down a door to a quasi "basement" under the former
law office. The videos of the arrest filmed by Hill demonstrate that Coughlin was never given an opportunity to heed any
warning to leave given that day prior to a custodial arrest being effectuated, contrary to the Supplemental Declaration by RPD
Officer Chris Carter, Jr. RPD Sargent Marcia Lopez subsequently admitted that the RPD neither identified themselves as law
enforcement nor issued a lawful order to emerge from the basement prior to landlord Merliss kicking down the basement door
on November 13th, 2012. WCSO Civil Supervisor Liz Stuchell has admitted in an email to Coughlin that Deputy Machen's
November 7th, 2011 Affidavit of Service swearing to have "personally served" the RJC REV2011-001708 Summary Eviction
Order on November 1st, 2011 was "incorrect" in that to Machen "personally served" means "posting it to the door when no one
is home. However, given NRS 40.400 makes applicable NRCP 5(b)(2) and 6(e) to summary evictions (even those that are
noticed by the RJC, in writing, as a "Trial" and even where, at the October 13th, 2011 "summary eviction proceeding" the RJC
ruled that Coughlin "had met his burden of establishing there is a genuine issue of material fact concerning his retaliatory
eviction defense" and the matter was then "set for trial on October 25th, 2011 provided Coughlin deposits $2,275 into the
court's rent escrow account", all of which violates JCRCP Rule 109 and NRS
3/5
40.253(6)) the lockout Deputy Machen oversaw on November 1st, 2011 was based upon a void Eviction Order and Decision of
October 25th, 2011 and an October 27th, 2011 Findings of Fact...that Hill's associate Baker testified as to having apparently
provided receipt thereof to the WCSO on October 28th, 2011, and which RJC Chief Civil Clerk Karen Stancil indicates were
transmitted to the WCSO via fax according to the usual custom and practice of the RJC...meaning, the WCSO failed to
effectuate a lockout "within 24 hours" of "receipt" of either of those Orders...meaning Hill and Merliss were trespassing on
November 13th, 2011, not Coughlin, and they brought the RPD along for the ride, whereupon the RPD effected a wrongful
arrest (based upon lies by neurologist Merliss and his attorney Hill to the effect that they warned Coughlin to leave that day
prior to the RPD showing up, which is clearly show to be false by the videos filmed by Hill and Merliss themselves and Hill's
subsequent testimony at the June 18th, 2012 criminal trespass trial in 11 CR 26405).
May 9th, 2012: Order finding Coughlin competent in CR12-0376, by Judge Elliot of Department 10 resolving the February
27th, 2012 Order for Competency Evaluation signed by RJC Judge Clifton and file stamped at 1:31 pm on that date.
September 5th, 2012: Order for Competency Evaluation of Coughlin by Judge Sferrazza in RCR2011-063341
October 2, 2012: WCPD Leslie and Dogan and DDA Young violate NRS 178.405 by swapping the October 15th, 2012 Trial
continuation/Competency Hearing Date in RCR2011-063341 with RCR2012065630, and setting/stipulating to a new hearing
on October 22nd, 2012, and resetting the Trial date to November 19th, 2012, but not before attempting to cram RCR2012-
067980 onto the calendar with RCR2012-063341 for October 22nd, 2012 (and Leslie and Dogan lied to Coughlin about
whether "mandatory status conference" was held on August 6th, 2012 in RCR2012-065630, and RCR2012067980, the latter at
which Leslie set a Trial date of September 18th, 2012 despite his legal assistant Linda Gray admitting to Coughlin that Coughlin
was provided no notice whatsoever of the August 6th, 2012 hearing date in those cases. Also, Dogan and Leslie again violated
NRS 178.405 on October 2nd, 2012 where tehy reset for October 30th, 2012 a Motion Hearing on DDA Young's
impermissible Motion to Amend the Complaint in RCR2012-065630 (six months after the arrest, no specific facts pled in
either to support either charge, really). Further, Dogan failed to alert Coughlin in any way to the fact that, in his July 31st, 2012
Motion to Amend Criminal Complaint, DDA Young attempted to, in violation of RPC 3.8, amend the "misue of emergency
services" charge (where Coughlin is accused of using 911 to report police misconduct) to a charge that would provide the
District Attorney more leverage against Coughlin, a retaliatory prosecution, for a crime that would damage Coughlin's law
license given the import of SCR 111(6), despite DDA Young lacking probable cause to so amend his charge. Dogan and Young
previously conspired to retaliate against Coughlin incident to their "clandestine status conference" of February 27th, 2012,
which just so happened to be the date that Coughlin filed a Notice of Appeal in his case against Washoe Legal Services 60302
and the date that Judge William Gardner transferred jurisdiction from RMC D1 Judge Dilworth to RMC D3 Judge Nash
Holmes in 12 CR 000696, a case where Coughlin was subject to a custodial arrest for jaywalkign on January 12th, 2012
incident to Coughli's peacefully filming Richard G. Hill, Esq.'s contractor's crew from a public sidewalk, disposing of property
left at Coughlin's former home law office due to Hill locking a gate thereto during the time Coughlin was afforded to remove
such property and where Hill had boarded up on of the entrances to the property as well, in addition to remove the only ladder to
the
4/5
upstairs attic/storage space at the property. On February 27th, 2012 in 11 TR 26800 Judge Nash Holmes told Coughlin she
would have him thrown in jail if he mentioned Richard G. Hill's name one more time. On January 31st, 2012, at an extension
hearing on the TPO Richard Hill received against Coughlinf or Coughlin's alleged jaywalking on January 12th, 2012, RJC
Judge Schroeder roared at Coughlin "do you want to go to jail!" when Coughlin broached the subject of Hill's abuse of process.
Judge Schroeder is listed in the RJC docket as presiding over the February 27th, 2012 "clandestine status conference" that
ultimately resulted in Judge Clifton signing the Order for Competency Evaluation. It is unclear if any actual hearing before a
judge even took place that day, however.
5/5
Local judges seem to dutifully report some far flung applications alleged violations of SCR's related to the media and
reporters vis a vis hunches they have about whether an attorney is recording the proceeding (which is in the public record) or
has "recording devices" in his pocket, yet violations of NRS 178.405 seem to receive scant application of Canon 2.15.
Sincerely,

Dear DDA Young,
I have some discovery for you to pick up if you like in both 065630 and 067980, please contact me to arrange a time for your office to pick it up.
I believe there is an issue with the record on appeal in cr12-2025. I am not an efiler anymore, but you are. You have been given access to the 804 page record on appeal via
eflex whereas I have not. I realize the RJC filing office may attempt to say "Zach, we gave you copies of everything, here and there, are the last year.., that is why Clerk Tami
just sent you a letter on December 10th, 2012 informing you the record had been transmitted to the District Court (once again, randomly, to Judge Elliott, for the fourth
straight time...even more curious given the events of 2/27/12, considering that on that date, not only did the clandestine status conference occur, where Judge Clifton
entered an Order for Competency Evaluation in 065630, which somehow, at that time knew Judge Elliott was the randomly assigned judge to the case (considering WDCD
Rule 2(1):
Rule2.Organization of the court; chief judge; court administrator.
1.All civil and criminal cases shall be randomly assigned.
Please email me that 804 page record on Appeal, if not for me, do it to help the RJC out. The RJC gave me copies of various things, true, but it did not give me copies of my
filings (typically just the file stamped ocver pages, and my access to files has been curtailed, its been uncomfortable to go for me to go to the filing office, all these
restrictions have been placed upon my access to files, despite the fact that there have been three separate prosecutions against me going on at the same time, etc., etc.
I need that 804 page record on appeal, and I believe I am entitle to a copy of it...not an assertion that I have been given copies of this or that piece meal over the last year
(regardless, there are things I have not been given a copy of, and even if there wasn't, it is unfair to afford DDA Young a nice, bound or collected 805 pages copy now.
Further, I have not received the Index (I know what it lists only from going and viewing the materials on the law libraries computers. This is simply inappropriate for the RJC
to not have mailed me such new court filings. Further, all this TPO this, Administrative Order that business is creating an appearance of impropriety that is simply not worth
the 805 pages (by the way, that's about 5 dollars worth of paper, and five minutes of time to feed into the document feeder in bunches...but DDA Young could help the RJC
out by just sending me the digital file that he has from his eflex account. Regardless, I am sure you can imagine, I will be extremely critical of the failure of the RJC to
provide me the record on appeal, and even more critical of the failure to provide me the new filings in CR12-2025 (I think it is titled the Supplemental...but it lists the various
filings in the record (a number of mentions of "miscellaneous filings" near the end, etc. Now the prejudice attendant to the failure of the RJC to mail me these materials to
which I am entitle is affecting my licensure issues. Its simply not worth the liability to be petty about this.
Additionally, there is another issue with regard to the 2/15/12 filing. I was told, for a long time, by both the civil division and the criminal division that fax filing was not
permitted in the RJC (obviously, this creates an appearance of favoritism where other attorneys/litigants/defendants were permitted to (including Richard G. Hill, Esq). It is
for that reason that the incident with RJC Bailiff Sexton occurred on 2/14/12 when I was locked out of the RJC and denied the opportunity to file a pre-trial motion (had I
been allowed to fax file at the time I would not have been speeding down to the RJC near closing time trying to get a filing date, I would have just faxed it...it seems that I
had printed out a number of various iteration sof what I intended to file as a pre-trial motion(s)...and the one I took to court with me to file on 2/14/12 (and the one I
emailed, see below, to DDA Young, Mr. Tuttle, and DPD Goodnight) is not the version I wound up filing the next day at noon, in person. This was not intentional, but a
product of the chaos I was dealing with at the time (NV Energy refusing to allow me to put the power in my name, getting two TPOs awarded to me against me then
housemates in FV12-00187, etc.., etc., then the eviction of 3/15/12 in RJC Rev2012-00374 (which begat a client punching a digital camera into my face and breaking the view
finder...a Mr. Eastman, a former WCSO Deputy, and former Bailiff for Judge Sferrazza, whom the RJC just sent the remains of the $465 bail to after $175 worth of witness fees
were subtracted (despite the ruling waiving witness fees by Judge Sferrazza on 10/22/12 in 063341 at the 48 minute mark of the second audio file)....Gayle Kern, Esq.
managed to sneak a default summary eviction against me through (despite an RPC that I am currently facing disciplinary charges regarding stating that doing so is
impermissible) in RJC Rev2012-000374 (at the start of the JAVS recording one can hear the RJC clerk implore Judge Schroeder to go out of the order he intended to hear his
docket, and hurry through a default against Coughlin...which was done...which resulted in the WCSO Office conducted an eviction at gunpoint after entering the
residence/office without announcing themselves as law enforcement:
...which was my former 1422 E. 9th St. #2 address, where the 1/14/12 arrest for "misuse of 911" in 065630 took place, and which was were I rented from the two housemates
whom the TPO's in FV12-00188 and 187 were directed in those 1/23/12 TPO by Master Edmondson ( a rare victory for me in a court room in the last 18 months). In the recent
discovery provided by DDA Young incident to his 12/5/12 email
That same 1422 E. 9th St. #2 location saw a hearing on the interruption of essential services on 2/23/12, wherein Western Nevada Management's Sue King and a board
member non-attorney where allowed to appear on behalf of the corporation owner, Park Terrace Townhomes HOA, which is violative of NRCP 11's dictate against a
corporation appearing pro se, which is applciable via NRS 40.400:
http://youtu.be/ReVwxdojv7g Clearly, the record and testimony therein reveals that Coughlin was not a squatter, and the the individuals he rented from, Laura Foreshee
and Christopher "Erin" Allaback were lawfully there, with the express consent of PTTHOA incident to former manager Robyn Batalado receiving approval from the HOA
Board. I was arguably a subtenant, though there is an argument that Allaback, and perhaps Foreshee, were agents or employees of PTTHOA (there was testimony as to an
exchange of carpentry for rent or something similar). Regardless, it was completely inappropriate for the Reno Police Department and Sargent Sifre to make the statements
he did on 1/14/12 incident to the arrest in RJC RCR2012-065630, wherein he indicates, some might say, some level of complicity between the RJC and the RPD in terrorizing
me:
http://youtu.be/lZ8uIWek6js
http://youtu.be/5_ZhEHsoj4o a video of WCSO Deputies Canizzaro and Durben effecting the default summary eviction lockout Order he granted Gayle Kern, Esq. (Judge
Linda Gardner's former associate, where Coughlin filed a Mandamus Petition against Judge Linda Gardner in 54844) in RJC Rev2012-000374, in an Order with a fax header of
8:24 am, for a hearing set for 8:30 am (Coughlin showed up in time to see Gayle Kern, Esq. smirking at him smugly while she walked out of the courtroom as Coughlin was
going in). Less than five hours later the WCSO was letting itself in to Coughlin home law office, prejudicing his client's representation at the hearing later that day before
NVB Judge Beesley in Cadle company v. Keller, 10-05104.
The fact that that audio recording was only provided to me incident to an email announcement as to its availability from the WCDA on 12/5/12, augers for a mistrial, though
the sad and unfortunate passing of Ms. Beechler, of Ecomm does as well. I believe Ms. Beechler was a committed professional and my prayers are with her family, may she
rest in peace.

Sargent Sifre had just 48 hours ordered a trainee officer, Wesley Leedy, to effect a custodial arrest for "jaywalking" upon me ($200 bail, money I couldn't spare), on 1/12/12 in
RMC 11 CR 00696. At the same time Coughlin was arrested for "jaywalking" (taken to Parr, strip search, booked, required to post $200 bail, the works), RJC Judge Schroeder
was awarding opposing counsel in that summary eviction matter a TPO in RJC RCP2012-000018, on 1/12/12 (with an extension hearing held on 1/31/12, at which Judge
Schroeder rebuked Coughlin's attempt to address Hill's abuse of process by asking Coughlin "do you want to go to jail?".
For all the big talk by Hill with his cameras, and his contractor Phil Stewart of Nevada Building Industries, whom had his own cameras, about the Yosemite Sam
style cursin' and yellin' and climbing up on the contractor's truck and stuff, here is the only video footage the City of Reno has provided Coughlin from what it
obtained from Hill and or his contractor: http://youtu.be/0HfqXnGKMFA
However, Coughlin did capture the events of 1/12/12 on tape, that is, up until when the RPD Officers Look and Leedy accosted him, and, without explanation, began
manhandling him and taking away his camera...then it was on to bending his wrists and arms behind his back in a painful manner (no hello, hi, how are you, nothing, really
pros): http://youtu.be/iw-3t1ScqqA
http://youtu.be/4w1sMO9EcVE
Judge Sferrazza allows the uanuthorized practice of eviction law by a property manager similar to what Judge Pearson allowed Nevada Court Services to do in RJC Rev2012-
001048.
Judge Linda Gardner previously worked for Gayle Kern, Esq. Judge Linda Gardner's April 2009 Order sanctioning a domestic violence legal aid attorney resulted in his firing,
and the following lawsuits:
Her brother, Reno Municipal Court Judge William Garnder, refused to recuse himself from the criminal trespass prosecution of Coughlin incident to the custodial arrest at his
former home law office in RMC 11 CR 26405, which, incidentally involved Lew Taitel, Esq. being appointed as Coughlin's defense counsel despite Coughlin then suing Taitel's
business partners incident to that very eviction, Nevada Court Services and Jeff Chandler. Somehow, RMC Judicial Assistnat Lisa Gardner did not manage to file stamp the
Notice of Appeal Coughlin served on the City Attorney Hazlett-Stevens and submitted for filing with the RMC on 6/28/12 shortly before Nevada Court Services, the Washoe
County Sheriff's Office Deputy Machen, and the Reno Police Department arrested Coughlin again in rcr2012-067980 (incident to the wrongful eviction in rjc rev2012-001048)
on 6/28/12, and then again in the 7/2/12 arrest by the RPD Officer Alan Weaver and Sargent Dye in RMC 12 CR 12420 (where, on 7/5/12 court appointed RMC defender Keith
Loomis, Esq. conspired against Coughlin during the unnoticed bail increase hearing where, again, Judge Gardner, raised Coughlin's bail 10 times the original amount,
resulting in 20 days in jail for Coughlin, during which a $40K attorney fee award by Judge Flanagn was issued, incident to, you guessed it, that same summary eviction appeal
cv11-03628. At the formal disciplinary hearing before the NNDB and State Bar of Nevada on 11/14/12 wherein the SBN attempted to disbar Coughlin, the prejudice to
Coughlin's ability to appear in the NVB before Judge Beelsey incident to the wrongful eviction connected to this matter (wherein Gayle Kern obtained a default summary
eviction Order on 3/15/12 in RJC Rev2012-000374 from RJC Judge Schroeder baring a fax hearder time stamp 6 minutes prior to the time Notice as the start of the summary
eviction proceeding...resulting in an eviction at gunpoint by the WCSO 5 hours later (wherein the WCSO failed to identify themselves prior to breaking in at Park Terrace)
causing difficulties in Coughlin's appearance before NVB Judge Beesley at 2:30 pm on that day, 3/15/12 in http://tinyurl.com/ad7ltzy and
http://www.plainsite.org/flashlight/case.html?id=1867780
http://youtu.be/oU3t_kRR0RA Reno Police Department Sargent Paul Sifre arrests Reno Attorney for misuse of 911 on 1/14/12 in RJC RCR2012-065630, just 48 hours after
Sargent Sifre Order RPD Officers Leedy and Look to arrest Coughlin for "jaywalking". So, RPD Sargent Sifre announces to Coughlin that he ordered trainee Officer Leedy to
arrest Coughlin for jaywalking because Coughlin had "placed himself in that situation" where Coughlin was a victim,. and further, that that was the reason Coughlin was
served with the Richard G. Hill, Esq. TPO granted by Judge Schroeder. Next, RPD

Subject: attempt to file prior to 5pm denied
Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:39:54 -0800
Dear Reno Justice Court Administration and Filing Office, DDA Young and DPD Goodnight,
Hello, I am emailing and faxing the document and one exhibit you will find herein as I was denied my right to file it today. I presented to the court prior to 5pm today but
was prevented from filing this document (and today is the last day to file these pretrial motions absent receiving leave of court to do so prior to the February 29th, 2012 Trial
in Department 2 before Judge Sferrazza. Judge Sferrazza has, in the past, expressed displeasure with regard to any attempt to file by email, and I do not wish to upset Judge
Sferrazza here, and accordingly am not copying him on this correspondence. However, I believe the "excusable neglect"/"deprivation of rights under color of law" analysis
may dictate that I promptly attempt to make some record of my attempt to file and in that regard I am submitting this to you now.
Incidentally, I did call the criminal division RJC filing office today shortly before 5pm alerting them to my imminent attempt to access justice and received confirmation that
they would not close prior to 5pm. HOwver, the doors of the court house were locked prior to 5pm. I have witness timers/clocks in the court to be set approximately 5
minutes fast in that past. I attempted to ask a supervisor about this by alerting Chief Deputy Sexton, and while he initially refused to get a supervisor, he then finally
indicated he would, however, no supervisor ever appeared. Chief Deputy Sexton, along with another Deputy has sexually assaulted me in that past, and as such, of course,
the was a very unusual and uncomfortable situation.
Additionally, I had another landlord tenant hearing involving myself on Monday, 2/3/12. AS per JCRRT my case was randomly assigned to Judge Lynch. However, just prior to
my case being heard, Deputy Sexton entered the court room, made some calls, and Judge Sferrazza appeared to hear my case. Judge Sferrazza then proceeded to grant a
property manage a license to practice law on behalf of Park Terrace Homeowners Associations (PTHOA). I, of course, am very uncomfortable having the Deputy who sexually
assaulted me appear in the court room at all my appeances, as Deputy Sexton seems to do (in fact, he glowered over me at the 12/21/12 Hearing on my Motion to Contest
Personal Property lien) in such a menacing fashion that I was unable to think clearly, much to the detriment of my case. Further, I am uncomfortable at the appearance given
off by the curious changing of the Judge assigned to my hearing after Deputy Sexton entered the court room and made a few calls. It may be inappropriate to give off the
appearance that Deputy Sexton is able to control the assignment of Judges to certain cases rather than having cases randomly assigned pursuant to JCRRT. I believe this
filing and one exhibit you find herein should be accorded a filing date for 2/14/12, as I was prevented from appropriately accessing justice, and in that regard, I don't believe
this is a request to "bend" the rules or allow a special exception, though I do believe one is able to file a motion seeking such an exception for cause. Deputy SExton has
sexually assaulted me in the past in similar situations where I attempt to use all of the hours available to filing accorded to any other member of the public.

Ms. Beckman and Ms. Kandaras,

Please accept this correspondence as a request for a new G2 HTC smartphone, a new Samsung cell phone, and a new 32GB micro sd card. The card has been rendered
unusable and all the data then existing on it at the time of its seizure has been removed. Please provide an indication of whether that was done on purpose or not, in
writing. Further, I believe I should be provided with compensation for the cost of new phones as these are obviously rather suspect at this point.

Further, with local attorney Pam Willmore present a WCSO Deputy and Ms. Campbell indicated to me that per Courts Orders I was to contact RMC Marshal Deighton. I
did and he never responded in any way. Please indicate why exactly I was told to so contact Marshal Deighton, and why that Deputy told me, at that time, that the
property had already been returned to the RMC Marshals because it would just be easier to get it back to you that way (ie, having me retrieve the property from the
RMC Marshals versus retrieving it directly from the WCSO). Further, that Deputy admitted, with Ms. Willmore present, that Ms. Cumming and Ms. Campbell were, in
fact, incorrect, in their assertions that the micro sd card had been returned the acquaintance of mine whom retrieved my keys while I was incarcerated. Rather, that
Deputy then admitted the micro sd card, in fact, was not returned at that time. Of course, a 32 GB micro sd card was returned to me with Deputy Ivers present, however,
he and Ms. Beckman, Ms. Berryman, Deputy Cheung, and one other Deputy all scattered quickly after I began opening the secured envelope, refusing to allow me to
test the micro sd card in their presence.

Dear Ms. Beckman,

A WCSO Deputy informed me that my property was being held in evidence, including a flip phone style cell phone, and an HTC g2
smartphone in addition to a micro sd memory card, and an electric shaved. He indicated the items were booked into evidence on
2/27/12, then taken by the City of Reno Marshal Division on 2/28/12. A WCSO Deputy also indicated these items in evidence were
release again to the City of Reno Marshal Division on 3/14/12 because "its just easier to get it back to you that way"....However,
now it appears once again your office has the property.

I would like a written response detailing the chain of custody of all the property for all times since the arrest, and itemized listing of
the property, and an indication of when, if ever, I will be informed of why it is being held and when, if ever, it will be returned to
me, and and indication of what exactly has been done with this property, including whether an viewing or copying of the contents
has been undertaken or will remain in anyone's possession other than mine.

Dear Mr. Coughlin:

In reviewing the emails below as well as others generated with respect to the Holmes order, it appears that the staff is trying to work with you to release your
items in a timely manner. It is my understanding that when you came to the detention facility on Friday, March 30, 2011, it was after 5:00 p.m. Because the
evidence custodian is open during regular business hours, your request could not be processed at that time. I was informed that staff told you yesterday that
you could make arrangements to come pick up your items. I see no reason why there should be any problems with this release as I am confident that all
parties will treat each other with the utmost professionalism and courtesy.

I did not receive copy of the Holmes order until Monday, April 2, 2012, when you sent it to me via email at about 4:00 p.m. I have never requested that the
items taken into evidence be routed to the District Attorneys office, nor have I ever viewed them. I am unsure as to your complaint about the District
Attorney possessing your evidence.

Please be advised that your claims of unprofessional treatment on March 30, 2012 will be reviewed. Have a nice evening.

Subject: please find order attached for return of my personal property

Dear Sheriff Haley and Deputy Washoe County District Attorney Kandaras et al,
I am writing to respectfully submit these materials to you for your consideration. Please find attached teh 3/30/12 Order
Releasing Personal Property by RMC Judge Nash Holmes.
I do not wish for my property to be passed around anymore to any other agencies, including the District Attorney's
Office. I want it released to me, please. Judge Nash Holmes did not Order is released to me by way of the District
Attorney's Office. These materials included my electric shave, a samsung flip phone cell phone, and an HTC G2
Smartphone, and a 32 gb micro sd card. I suspect I am going to hear about how the micro sd card has gone missing, or
how is was previously released to so and so. Your own personnel have already confirmed that it was not released to
anyone associated with me, despite Ms. Cummings, Debi Campbell, and Trish Beckman's various inconsistent statements,
especially in connection with those made by the City of Reno Marshals.
Please let me know, in writing, what I need to do to get my property, whose custody I must retrieve it from, any chain of
custody for it in the interim, and exactly what such property will include, including a written indication from you whether
or not it will include the 32gb micro sd card, whether the card is free standing or placed within something, whether the
phones have batteries, whether the phone's contents have been copied or otherwise examined, why exactly they were
held, etc., etc.. If it is your position that the property to be returned does not include a 32gb micro sd card, please explain
that, including where such a card supposedly went and when.
I am writing to complain about an incident on Friday wherein Deputy Beatson threatened me with abuse of process,
retaliation, malicious prosecution, and where he attempted to extort me. Front desk Deputy "Matty" was involved as
well and bail counter personnel Jennifer and Nadine were tangentially involved.
Nadine told me I should check with the front desk Deputy regarding the return of my personal property. I did, checking
with someone who identified herself only as Matty. She indicated she would need to go to a back room to retrieve a
paper. When she returned she indicated someone had informed her I would need to speak with Mary Kandaras. I asked
her who had informed her of this and Matty grew suddenly silent. I indicated to Matty that it was fine, obviously, if she
did not wish to inform me of who it was she has received this message from, but that I was asking her to confirm whether
or not she was refusing to tell me as much. Matty picked up the phone and called for help, seemingly solely motivated by
being asked such a simple question. I asked Matty if such a question had made here uncomfortable? I asked here if it
was okay if I left? Matty indicated I was allowed to leave. Approximately 20 yards outside of the building I hear Deputy
Beatson call for me. He began demanding my drivers license (laughing at the idea of Hiibel), telling me I was being
detained, indicating that he would fabricate an allegation of my having "disturbed the police" such that he could arrest
me then and there and perform a search of my property. Deputy Beatson (who soon was accompanied by approximately
9 armed Sheriff's Deputies, several with cameras and recording equipment) further indicated that he didn't want to see
me around the Sheriff''s Office or that facility any more and that I better stop asking questions and "being a problem" if I
knew what was "good" for me. He conduct was extremely abusive, retaliatory, invasive, hostile, threatening, and all done
under color of law for all 42 USC Sec 1983 purposes. I am requesting that a copy of this formal, written complaint be
placed in his employment/personnel file, and that the same be done for "Matty". Deputy Beatson has harassed me in
that past at the detention facility. Numerous times I have, by Beatson, and other Deputies, been retaliated against in
hurtful and humiliating ways, including for my failure to answer questions regarding my private medical information and
religious preference by both the booking staff and other personnel, including "nurses" at the detention facility. I have had
excessive force used on me several times and have been video taped while being subjected to a strip search. Deputies
routinely refuse to identify themselves by name when asked to do so, and this occurs routinely in the context of seeking a
name to attach to a complaint of deputy misconduct, abuse of power, excessive force, retaliation, etc. THIS IS A
LITIGATION HOLD NOTICE INFORMING YOU OF THE NEED TO MAINTAIN ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTATION AND OR
RECORDINGS MADE INCIDENT TO THE EVENTS OF FRIDAY AFTERNOON WHEREIN I APPEARED, incident to a valid Court
Order from RMC Judge Nash Holmes, ordering the return of my personal property.
THIS IS ALSO A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST SEEKING A COPY OF ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTATION RELATED
TO ME IN ANY WAY, INCLUDING ALL MEDIA, BE PROPOUNDED TO ME AS YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE.
FURTHER, THIS IS A COMPLAINT AGAINST Deputy Durbin and Deputy Cannizzaro for their misconduct incident to the
eviction of 3/15/12 at 1422 E. 9th St. #2, wherein they threatened abuse of process, retaliatory arrest, etc.:

I do not wish to exacerbate this situation. I wish to move on with my life. I went to high school with Deputy John
Sarratea and law school with Deputy District Attorney Chris Hicks and worked with Deputy District Attorney Patricia
Halstead while we were both at Hale Lane, now known as Holland & Hart. I imagine all of these professionals would say
that, while I walk a bit to the beat of my own drum, that I am essentially a harmless, honorable person who has never
much liked seeing an abuse of power but is capable of recognizing that law enforcement is not conducted in a vacuum,
and that the practicalities of enforcing the law do not always lend themselves to complying with what they average
constitutional law professor might deem just...
I needed to get my phone. I am trying to run a solo law practice. Judge Nash Holmes (who has been either a prosecutor
or a prison warden or administrator for nearly the entirety of her career) ordered both of my cell phones seized and they
were retained for over one month. Out here in the private sector, that is a big deal, and a difficult obstacle to overcome.
The implications of such an order are all the more onerous for one recently twice adjudged a victim of domestic violence,
and even more so for he who is a victim of law enforcement misconduct.

Dear Mr. Coughlin:

I have received your request to preserve video at Reno Justice Court. I am summarizing your request as follows: On February 14, 2012, you sought to file a document
shortly before 5:00 pm. However, you state that the court house doors were locked prior to 5:00 p.m. on that day. You state that Court Administration stated that the
Sheriff was the custodian of records for this video.

I will attempt to discern who is the holder of this video. I am assuming that you want to see the officers locking the front door or anything with you on it (although I do
not know what you look like).

Please confirm that I am seeking the proper information. Also, if there is something else with respect to video recording, please let me know so there wont be

Subject: RE: cases being randomly assigned in RJC FW: attempt to file prior to 5pm denied
Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:58:06 -0800

Dear Court Administrator Tuttle,

I feel that you have misunderstood my import. Please consider that you and others in the court are only human, whereas Richard G. Hill, Esq. is
clearly a lycan, who has also somehow managed to fashion himself and his brethren into a sophisticated commercial law firm capable of
distorting reality in ways not commonly seen absent the administration of extremely potent psychotropic drugs. There were no "assertions
regarding "Judges Sferrazza, Clifton and the Court's integrity" in anything I wrote you. There is a difference between an "appearance" and a
"reality", however, I think you will find that "appearances of impropriety" are given considerable attention in the Rules of Professional
Responsibility, the Code of Judicial Conduct, and the Model Code of Conduct for Judicial Employees in the State of Nevada.

Further, I think you will find that, contrary to your retaliatory assertions, my duty to my client includes making a reasonably diligent effort to
attempt to access justice, and any subsequent excusable neglect analysis may, in fact, call for making an attempt to inquire with court
personnel or Sheriff's Deputies in an attempt to address my concerns vis a vis the doors locking. While you indicate the videos are the property
of the Sheriff (quite a bit of power for the Sheriff alone to own those videos) you do not make clear how it is that you are able to review them,
while at the same time, seemingly disclaiming any liability for the negligent hiring, training, or supervision of the various Deputies you supervise
and or work with at the RJC, especially, vis a vis their propensity to tell litigants that they will have objects forcibly inserted into their anuses
should such litigants in any way question the cold, hard, authority of these Sheriff's Deputie's jackboot.

What is not clear is why Judge Clifton would handle all the other cases on the stacked docket of 2/13/12, beginning at 8:30, but then, after
Chief Bailiff Sexton came into the Court Room with Bailiff Reyes (whom I have been forced to file for a Protection Order against just recently)
and made some phone calls, Judge Sferrazza replaced Judge Clifton. Further, while Judge Sferrazza explained the non-appearance of Judge
Lynch by indicating that Judge Lynch was instead scheduled to do traffic court that day, Chief Civil Clerk Stancil indicated today that, in fact,
Judge Lynch was hearing matters on a criminal calendar.'

Regardless, I certainly have not impugned the credibility of any of the fine judges of the RJC. However, your jumping to being "insulted" and
failing to ask me anything about these incidents involving threats to insert objects inside of my anus leaves a bit to be desired, in my humble
opinion, from the perspective of a member of the public appearing in your court as a litigant.

You wrote: "You were not denied by this Court your right to file these documents yesterday. You were, however, denied by Washoe County
Sheriff Court Security Unit access to the building after closing time; the same as anyone else would be denied. You were not here before
5:00pm and trying to gain access into the facility by coming through an exit only door is not permissible."

I don't agree with your assessment, but I apologize for the annoyance this seems to have caused. I hope you will consider that the date on
which this occurred was the last day to file a pre-trial motion (under NRS 174.125, such motions, including a "motion to suppress" the fruits of
an unlawful search by law enforcement) in a matter for which I am a criminal defendant, and for which a conviction could result in me being
disbarred as an attorney, in addition to fairly substantial criminal penalties, including incarceration. There are a lot of things that can go wrong
on the way to an innocent man being convicted of a crime. One key area involves the failure to preserve for appeal important issues. Such
were the content of the documents I sought to filed on February 14th, 2012. Additionally, only yesterday was I finally informed by the RJC,
criminal division, that I may file by fax. I have previously been told that I may not file by fax. Further, today Ms. Stancil, Chief Civil Clerk,
informed me that I may also file by fax in the Civil Division. I am quite certain I have requested permission to do this before in both the civil and
criminal divisions and have been told I may not every single time. This relates to your recent commentary on "favoritism" and applying the rules
evenly to all litigants. I am sure I have heretofore been disallowed from filing by fax. Indeed, I have spent countless hours of my time travelling
out of my way, down to the Reno Justice Court, to file each and every document that I have filed in the few cases I have had in your court (and
most any lawyer will tell you that their "time" is the only thing a lawyer is much able to sell to anyone for the purpose of making a living,
something which, I assure, has been an enormous struggle for me this past few years). You are aware of just how enormous the file is in RJC
Rev2011-001708. I guess some would say that is my fault, though I would counter that the law is rather clear that NRS 40.253's summary
eviction proceedings are forbidden against commercial tenants where the non payment of rent is neither alleged nor Notice of such is posted
or served, as here.

Mr. Tuttle, you know as well as I do that there is a turnstile that only turns one way that would obviously present any such attempt to gain
access. Further, the door you are referring to is not marked "exit only", and your assertions that I was "trying to gain access to the facility" is so
transparent that it is disturbing considering your position with the court. I clearly knocked on the window and waived to Deputies in an attempt
to ask them my questions. Surely, the video you reference easily show this. Additionally, you do not mention exactly what time "after 5 pm"
the video showed, and I find that curious. Further, you do not mention any system in place to assure that the time stamping on the video is in
accord with the official United States time at www.time.gov. Indeed, the RJC or the Sheriff are not the only one's in the this world with
cameras and clocks, and it might be very interesting to see a documentary of several days worth of footage of just when exactly the doors
lock, synced to a visual time stamping verified to be accurate vis a vis www.time.gov. If such a video did exist, you don't sound like you would
be too interested in seeing it. Please correct me if I am wrong.
You further wrote: "Because your actions could be consider trespassing is the reason why Reno Justice Court Chief Bailiff Michael Sexton again
asked you to leave. Fair and equal access to justice applies not only to discrimination, but also to favoritism. Allowing one party to file
documents after a deadline is unethical and without question unfair." Your interpretation of the crime of "trespassing" is interesting. I guess,
under your approach, Richard G. Hill, Esq. would be guilty of trespassing where, at the 12/20/11 Hearin on Tenant's Motion to Contest Personal
Property Lien, after the Tenant invoked the Rule of Exclusion, and Judge Sferrazza ordered Hill and other prospective witnesses to leave the
court room, where Hill surreptiously snuck back in the court room, found time during a recess to announce to myself Bailiff Reyes and Chief
Bailiff Sexton that Hill too would like to "put his boot up Coughlin's ass", and then manage to sneak back into the court room during the
proceeding, and have Bailiff Sexton pass post-it notes from behind the Bar to a struggling Casey Baker, Esq., whom was attempting to apply
and unlawful rent distraint under the guise of "reasonable storage" expenses.

At $30 a day for "reasonable storage" expenses, Judge Sferrrazza's Order was more in line with what one gets in a room at the Sand's for a day,
complete with the full use and occupancy of the room, heat, plubming, light, and premium cable television, and wi-fi access. $30.00 a day for
"reasonable storage" of that which could fit in a 10 by 30 foot storage shed (which typically cost $125 per month, or about 1/8th of what Judge
Sferrazza ruled would be a reasonable daily storage charge, in the great Reno area). This $30.00 a day storage charge is made all the more
questionable by the fact that the locations where all these items were being "stored" (and for which a bill for $1,060 to "secure" this "storage"
was filed with the RJC) was actually burglarized on December 12th, 2011, while under Hill and Baker control, and many valuable were stolen,
though neither Hill nor Baker ever provided anything close to a reasonable detailed inventory of what was there prior to the burglary and what
remained after the burglary. The did manage to notice that a 62 inch Television was missing, though.

I agree with your assessment that it would be unethical and without question unfair for the criminal division filing office to ask a "red headed
step child" litigant "who is calling" on the phone when they inquire with court personnel as to whether the court will, in fact, remain open, all
the way up to the posted 5pm closing time, and then for the door's to the court to, ever so curiously, be locked prior to 5 pm when said
redhead presents to access justice, and even more so where a court administrator and Chief Bailiff then arrange a version of the facts to
explain away their actions and decisions, replete with menacing allusions to retaliatory prosecution, etc., etc. You are right about that, Sir.

You further wrote "Informing Chief Bailiff Sexton of your intention to wait outside for Reno Justice Court employees to leave so you could
force them to take your filings is a form of harassment and needs to stop immediately. If this aggressive behavior continues, the Court will
consider a protective order against you, which will result in your ability or privilege to access Reno Justice Court." Well, it does seem somewhat
untoward that you are now threatening to file a protective order merely because a litigant asked to speak with a supervisor regarding the
court's doors locking prior to 5 pm. This is particularly troublesome where you make accusations of such a litigant engaging in "aggressive
behavior" when, in fact, it is your own Chief Bailiff Sexton and Bailiff Reyes who have both engaged in bullying behavior towards litigants,
replete with the ever so professional threats to forcibly insert objects into a litigants anus, and other menacing commentary related to a
litigants "ass", particularly where such commentary occurred while said litigant was attempting to access justice in the most basic way (by
presenting documents to be filed with the filing office, during hours for which the court holds itself out as open for business).

You further wrote: "In addition, I have looked into your assertions of sexual assault by the Reno Justice Court Bailiffs and found these
allegations to be without merit." However, in your "looking into" these "assertions of sexual assault" you have neither met with me nor
interviewed me or otherwise conducted anything close to a reasonably diligent inquiry, something which you may have a duty to perform with
respect to any negligent hiring, training, or supervision claim or other 42 USC Sec 1983 claim a member, or a class of members of the public
may have. But you seem to suggest that you do not bare any responsibility for the actions of the WCSO Court Security Unit's actions. However,
if that is the case, one must wonder why you would have "looked into your assertions of sexual assault by the Reno Justice Court Bailiff's" or
why you refer to said Bailiff's alternatively as "Reno Justice Court Bailiffs", while elsewhere using the designation Washoe County Sheriff
Court Security Unit.

You went on to write in another recent correspondence: "1) The locking of the front doors to the Courthouse is the responsibility of the
Sheriffs Office, so all your questions regarding this issue will need to be directed to them. However, I will state that the surveillance videos,
which are dated and time stamped, clearly shows that you were here after 5:00pm on 2/14/2012." Well, the videos may technically show I was
"here after 5 pm", but it is curious you do not write that the videos show that I "did not arrive until after 5 pm"...or otherwise get very specific.

Please be aware that this correspondence places you on a LITIGATION HOLD NOTICE with respect to any and all recordings made in
conjunction with this matter, and further, with regard to any recordings made concerning me whatsoever. PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY
OF THE VIDEO YOU REFERENCE, COMPLETE WITH THE TIME STAMPING AND A WRITTEN ATTESTATION AS TO THE PRACTICE IN PLACE TO
ASSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE TIMESTAMPING.

You go on to write: "3) I am not sure what your question is regarding your 11/16/11 filing - Motion to Contest Personal Property." By all means,
let me elucidate this matter for you more clearly. Please see the attached 1/5/12 Reply to Opposition in the appeal from this matter, in CV11-
03628 wherein the RJC's liability for failing to appropriately carry out the dictates of black letter Nevada law found in NRS 40.253(7)-(8) is quite
clearly pronounced. Further, I was never provided or served a copy of (until the filing of the Record on Appeal, well after the 12/15 and
12/17/11 entries in the docket, which preceded the 12/20/11 Hearing on Tenant's Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien) the two
statements the RJC seemingly order Deputy Clerk Jocelyn Jonas and Chief Civil Clerk Karen Stancil to place in the file in RJC REV2011-001708.

In that Reply, in page 7 of 24, one' finds the following: 4. Funny thing about the Reno Justice Court: when it comes to setting a hearing within 10 days of my
filing Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien on November 16th, 2011, the RJC is all "oh, we needed your permission, Mr. Coughlin, to set such a hearing, its your fault
that we couldn't get it on within the 10 days required by statute under NRS 40.253(7-8); however, when Coughlin went in to file something on November 3, 2011 at
4:58pm, RJC filing office Chief Clerk Karen Stancil didn't need no permission to serve personally on Coughlin Notice of a Hearing to take place on Monday, November 7,
2011. Well, actually, allegathetically, another clerk (Deputy Clerk Christine Erickson) had to sneak that Notice of the Hearing on November 7, 2011 into a stack of papers
she slipped Coughlin when she was pretending to be helpful for a change, rather than sullen, and overly opinionated for someone who cares so little of the import of
the Whitman, Donoho, Byrant, and Sullivan decisions of the Nevada Supreme Court with respect to court employees legislating from the filing office desk and refusing
to accept filings because they just aren't feeling it that day.... You see, somebody at the RJC figured out that it probably was not legal to hold on to Coughlin last $2,275
on earth if it was not granting him a stay (especially where NRS 40.385 entitles Coughlin to one, for his posting a bond as little as $250 (instead the RJC kept Coughlin's
$2,275, and if you believe Hill, did not grant a stay) as, in Judge Sferrazza's words, that would be "conversion". So, how again is it Mr. Hill's outrageous allegations of
Coughlin living here or there during this or that period (something which Hill never bothers to support with anything other than his own bluster, hot air, and conjecture,
and apparent willingness to to incur NRCP Rule 11 sanctions if it means milking a willful neurosurgeon good and dry in the process) are reasonably based in fact or law
and therefore not worthy of NRCP 11 sanctions?

Regardless, the RJC did set a Hearing on Tenant's Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien, and Tenant did show up for it, in face, he checked in with Chief Bailiff Sexton
prior to that Hearing, which was set for November 22, 2011. However, Tenant was the only one who showed up. Should that not yield a default victory?

However, more troubling is the RJC's conduct in forcing two of its filing office personnel to sign unsworned "statements", one month after some alleged conversation
incident to a litigants visit to the filing office, and further, where Deputy Clerk Jocelyn Jonas was called to testify by Judge Sferrazza, would conducted a leading
examination of the Court's witness, in a matter where the Court was not even a party. Most troubling of all, however, it the fact that Ms. Jones, on cross-examination had
to admit matters that show here statement of December 15th, 2011 to be misleading, at best, and wholly deficient in fulfilling the RJC's duty to maintain an appearance
of impartiality towards all litigants. It is simply impermissible for the RJC to have Ms. Jonas sign and unsworn "statement" (truly a new one to me, being neither a
notarized Affidavit, nor a Declaration made under "penalty of perjury" in lieu of an Affidavit. However, when Ms. Jonas did get sworn in at the 12/20/11 Hearing, a few
unpleasant truths emerged. One, Ms. Jonas was forced to admit that she did recall having a discussion with Tenant Coughlin in RJC REV2011-001708 about the
requirement that the RJC comply with NRS 40.253(8) which reads:

"NRS 40.253(8): Upon the filing of a motion pursuant to subsection 7, the court shall schedule a hearing on the motion. The hearing must be
held within 10 days after the filing of the motion. The court shall affix the date of the hearing to the motion and order a copy served upon
the landlord by the sheriff, constable or other process server. At the hearing, the court may:
(a) Determine the costs, if any, claimed by the landlord pursuant to NRS 118A.460 or 118C.230 and any accumulating daily costs; and
(b) Order the release of the tenants property upon the payment of the charges determined to be due or if no charges are determined to be
due.
One thing you may notice about the jurisdiction granted to the Court, above, in NRS 40.253(8), is that there is decidedly not any language allowing for an Order
"Resolving" Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien like that Judge Sferrazza entered on 12/21/11, and for which the RJC filing office has refused to allow me to file a
Notice of Appeal for, and has further refused to even mark as "received" my attempts at so filing Such a Notice Appeal and Motion to Proceed on Appeal In Forma
Pauperis (to the extent that would even be necessary considering the previous IFP status given the Tenant in that matter, RJC REV201-001708). That 12/21/11 Order is
included following this corrspondence.

Coughlin is also the Defendant in this criminal matter, which is also before Judge Sferrazza, RCR11-063341....Judge Sferrazza is now seemingly being placed onto another
landlord tenant matter where Coughlin is a named party, despite JCRRT 2 calling for a random assignment of cases (Judge Lynch was randomly assigned to the case
originally, RJC2012-074408, Coughlin v. Park Terrace HOA, and, also, Judge Sferrazza is now set to also take jurisdiction over the unlawful detainer matter that shall soon
be filed upon Coughlin filing a Tenant's Affidavit upon the proper service of a 5 day Unlawful Detainer Notice to Quit). This is not about impugning Judge Sferrazza as a
jurist. Its about criticizing and seeking redress for the appearance of impropriety created where WCSO Bailiff's engage in conduct that is impermissible (threatening to
forcibly insert objects up a litigants anus) and then create an unduly suspicious appearance of "judge shopping by Bailiff" (Why these Bailiff's seem to want to insult an
esteemed jurist like Judge Sferrazza, one who has an extraordinary depth and breadth of experience throughout all three branches of government in Washoe County, is
puzzling and unfortunate). It would not take much for these Bailiff's to gather an opinion on which judges have which approach on landlord tenant matters. It would be
impermissible to allow Bailiff's go grudge based judge shopping to retaliate against litigants asserting their consitutional rights, as Coughlin clearly does, much to their
totalitarian dismay. Judge Sferrazza has an approach to landlord tenants matters that is his own, as all judges invariably will. That does not make him and impartial
arbiter or imply any impropriety. However, to allow RJC Bailiff's to "gerrymander" what is supposed to be a random assigning of cases, would clearly be impermissible.
Even if that is not what is occurring here, a reasonable person could concluded that the appearance of such is evident. This is particularly true where Judge Clifton was on
the bench and heard every other case set for the 8:30 stacked docket in court room "B" on 2/13/12. Mr. Tuttle did not get where he is by being foolish or dim. He must
work day in day out with these Bailiffs. Mr. Coughlin is but a minor occasional litigant/attorney in the Reno Justice Court. Reasonable minds may feel it would be foolish
for Mr. Tuttle to take any action which would appear to undermine his belief in the reasonableness and justness of these Bailiff's actions, particularly where these brave
men are called to perform the heroic in truly dangerous circumstances at times. That is where rules get to be the "bad guy" rather than judges or administrators. JCRRT 2
is the bad guy here, and it is only appropriate for Judge Lynch to hear both this new Complaint for Unlawful Interruption of Essential Services, in addition to any
Summary Eviction and or Unlawful Detainer matter that may arise between those parties and within a common nexus of circumstances and facts.

Dear Mr. Tuttle,
Would you please confirm that the clocks in the court are accurate, and indicate how the doors are
locked, and how they were locked yesterday. It is my position that I was there prior to 5 pm,
further the appearance given by the fact that the person I spoke with on the telephone from the
criminal division filing office (she made sure to ask for my name, as though that would affect the
content of her answer to my questions-contrary to your a
ssertions, I am seeking no special privilege, but rather, seeking to avoid any special prejudice)
made sure to ask my name, and it was provided is troubling when viewed in conjunction with the
events before my 2/13/11 Hearing in the RJC in Coughlin V. Park Terrace Townhomes HOA. As you
know, JCRRT Rule 2 requires cases be assigned randomly. However, though Judge Lynch was
assigned to hear my Complaint for Interruption of Essential Services, shortly before the hearing,
the court room was popuplate by two different Deputies who have both made menacing
statements to me involving my "ass", one of which involved forcible putting an object up my "ass".
Chief Deputy Sexton entered the court room and made a few calls, and he is one of the two
Deputies to which I refer when mentioning this "ass" situation. Next thing I know, Judge
Sferrazza is hearing the case, and now I am told Judge Sferrazza is "attached" to the case instead
of Judge Lynch. While hearing the case, before it was continued, Judge Sferrazza apparently
granted a license to practice law to a property manager on behalf of another named party, the
Park Terrace Townhomes HOA. I feel this case should be heard by Judge Lynch. This is not a
statement against Judge Sferrazza, it is a statement with respect to the appearance created by the
above facts. This, combined with the unexplained October 19th, 2011 fax to Judge Clifton seeking
an ex parte Order allowing inspection of my law office by Casey Baker, Esq. of the Law Offices of
Richard G. HIll, Esq., despite Judge Clifton not being Chief Judge at that time in consideration of
JCRCP 84.

Your correspondence contains numerous inaccuracies that I am too pressed for time to counter at this point.
I appreciate your response though. Can you confirm that the clocks in your court are correct? Deputy Sexton
agreed to get a supervisor and it was agreed I would wait outside to speak to one. You, of course, have been
informed numerous times previously of WCSO Court Security efforts to deny the access to justice prior to the
5pm closing time. I am still waiting for some response from you regarding the various statements concerning
my "ass" by those you have some supervisory position over. Further, can you please indicate why I was,

Mr. Coughlin:

The documents that you emailed and faxed to Reno Justice Court at 6:40pm on February 14, 2012 were filed stamp with todays date (February 15, 2012) and placed in the
file for the Judges review. It will be noted that these documents were received by the Court after normal business hours on February 14, 2012.

You were not denied by this Court your right to file these documents yesterday. You were, however, denied by Washoe County Sherriff Court Security Unit access to
the building after closing time; the same as anyone else would be denied. You were not here before 5:00pm and trying to gain access into the facility by coming through
an exit only door is not permissible. Because your actions could be consider trespassing is the reason why Reno Justice Court Chief Bailiff Michael Sexton again asked
you to leave. Fair and equal access to justice applies not only to discrimination, but also to favoritism. Allowing one party to file documents after a deadline is unethical
and without question unfair.

Informing Chief Bailiff Sexton of your intention to wait outside for Reno Justice Court employees to leave so you could force them to take your filings is a form of
harassment and needs to stop immediately. If this aggressive behavior continues, the Court will consider a protective order against you, which will result in your ability
or privilege to access Reno Justice Court.

In addition, I have looked into your assertions of sexual assault by the Reno Justice Court Bailiffs and found these allegations to be without merit.

Lastly, your practice of filing hundreds of documents on multiple cases and then repeatedly asking for copies of the case files free of charge will no longer be granted
by the Court. Reno Justice Court will provide you one free copy of your original case files and one free copy of any future filings , but you will be charged appropriately
for all additional copies.

Hello, I am emailing and faxing the document and one exhibit you will find herein as I was denied my right to file it today. I presented to the court prior to 5pm today but was
prevented from filing this document (and today is the last day to file these pretrial motions absent receiving leave of court to do so prior to the February 29th, 2012 Trial in
Department 2 before Judge Sferrazza. Judge Sferrazza has, in the past, expressed displeasure with regard to any attempt to file by email, and I do not wish to upset Judge
Sferrazza here, and accordingly am not copying him on this correspondence. However, I believe the "excusable neglect"/"deprivation of rights under color of law" analysis may
dictate that I promptly attempt to make some record of my attempt to file and in that regard I am submitting this to you now.
Incidentally, I did call the criminal division RJC filing office today shortly before 5pm alerting them to my imminent attempt to access justice and received confirmation that they would
not close prior to 5pm. HOwver, the doors of the court house were locked prior to 5pm. I have witness timers/clocks in the court to be set approximately 5 minutes fast in that
past. I attempted to ask a supervisor about this by alerting Chief Deputy Sexton, and while he initially refused to get a supervisor, he then finally indicated he would, however, no
supervisor ever appeared. Chief Deputy Sexton, along with another Deputy has sexually assaulted me in that past, and as such, of course, the was a very unusual and uncomfortable
situation.
Additionally, I had another landlord tenant hearing involving myself on Monday, 2/3/12. AS per JCRRT my case was randomly assigned to Judge Lynch. However, just prior to my
case being heard, Deputy Sexton entered the court room, made some calls, and Judge Sferrazza appeared to hear my case. Judge Sferrazza then proceeded to grant a property
manage a license to practice law on behalf of Park Terrace Homeowners Associations (PTHOA). I, of course, am very uncomfortable having the Deputy who sexually assaulted me
appear in the court room at all my appeances, as Deputy Sexton seems to do (in fact, he glowered over me at the 12/21/12 Hearing on my Motion to Contest Personal Property lien)
in such a menacing fashion that I was unable to think clearly, much to the detriment of my case. Further, I am uncomfortable at the appearance given off by the curious changing of
the Judge assigned to my hearing after Deputy Sexton entered the court room and made a few calls. It may be inappropriate to give off the appearance that Deputy Sexton is able to
control the assignment of Judges to certain cases rather than having cases randomly assigned pursuant to JCRRT. I believe this filing and one exhibit you find herein should be
accorded a filing date for 2/14/12, as I was prevented from appropriately accessing justice, and in that regard, I don't believe this is a request to "bend" the rules or allow a special
exception, though I do believe one is able to file a motion seeking such an exception for cause. Deputy SExton has sexually assaulted me in the past in similar situations where I
attempt to use all of the hours available to filing accorded to any other member of the public.

I do not want to run afoul of any "communications with represented parties" (though I don't think things are near that point yet...) by
contacting anyone outside of DDA Kandaras, if that is required. However, I could really use some help interpreting the Affidavits of Service the
WCSO filed on 11/22/11 in cv11-01896 and cv11-01955...differnt dupties/process servers served different things and they each seem to
employe their own shorthand to indicate what they served, whether it was an original or a copy (?, maybe reading an original Summons
requirement into NRCP 4?), etc., etc., the use of semi-colons, commas, colons, and the word "copy" seem somewhat inconsistent in the
notation and any translating you could do would really help.

Dear Ms. Stuchell and Ms. Silva,

Hello, I am writing to report that there are some issues with the Affidavits of Service in CV11-01896 and CV11-01955. My cases have been
dismissed. Lost. Gone. Kaput.

Please find attached the 11/22/11 filing of some Affidavits of Service by the WCSO in CV11-01955 (the case that did not have an IFP Order, but
for which my "service instructions" which I faxed, hand delivered, and emailed to your office and various personnel indicated was nearly an
identical case as CV11-01896, for which the Order Granting the IFP was provided to your office-yet for which only 2 people had Affidavits of
Services, for (frown)).

So, unless something can be done (like your office filling out an affidavit or something for me taking some blame and getting the Dismissal
Orders Set Aside, then, like I promised you, I will have to sue you and your office, which I don't want to do, in all honesty.

It almost comes across as though someone at the WCSO thought it would be cute to file most of the Affidavits of Service in one case only,
combining them in most cases under CV11-01955 (that is the Affidavits of Service in that case also refer to serving the Summons and Complaint
in CV11-01896. Maybe if the Sheriff's Office was less busy making me wear a green dress and video taping me while they strip my clothes off
using force or threat of force, or less busy jamming taser needles in my spine for extended periods of time, or using excessive force to badly
injure my wrists, neck, back, and knee, in addition to causing several burns on my forearm, then the WCSO could focus a little more on properly
effectuating service of process.

I don't mean to be a jerk, I am under inordinate stress right now (not that that is anybody's problem but mine). The citation below would tend to indicate that your office might,
MIGHT, have a duty to photocopy the electronic versions I sent and serve them in a manner that the opposing attorneys will not respond to by filing "Motions to Dismiss" based upon
illegibility or bad copying/printing. They object to the 9 pages per page stuff...In an ideal world your office would serve one page per page of these things, after you print them out,
etc...If you can do that, I would of course be extremely grateful, if you can't, I am of course let to scratch and claw my way through this lawsuit like every other thing in my life as an
IFP who can seemingly be curbstomped by the older richer attorneys whenever they feel like it (and who have some dubious help in doing so). One interesting thing is that one of
the employment cases, etierh cv11-01955 or cv11-01986 (whichever was filed on June 27th with an IFP) has to be served within 120 days of WHEN? The docket seems to suggest
the Complaint in that IFP case was only entered on or around August 11th, 2011, which would obvioulsy changed the 120 days calculation, however, whether the filing date relates
back to the IFP is something I have never been able to get a clear answer on anywhere....

Dear Mr. Coughlin:
I received your correspondence, and it was not my intent to ask you to do any chores. While reasonable minds can differ on statutory interpretation, the research I
have conducted excludes from the term collector a governmental official collecting or attempting to collect any debt is in the performance of his official duties. See,
Definitions [15 USC 1692a(6)(c)]

I was under the impression you had been given the statutory authority for the debt. It is NRS 211.2415, which gives the Board Of County Commissioner the authority to
collect room and board fees to reimburse expenses incurred by the county for individuals housed in the Washoe County Detention Facility. The County is seeking to
collect $90 dollars ($30 per day)for a three day stay in the Washoe County Detention Facility.

Mr. Coughlin:
I believe we have completed the programming that will have your e-mails bypass Mr. Young and be sent directly to me. As Mr. Youngs supervisor, I will have the
content reviewed and arrange for a response if necessary.
I have become familiar with your contacts and exchanges not only with this Office, but with the Nevada State Bar, Judicial Ethics, the Courts, the Public Defenders
Office and other individuals. I had hoped you were capable of exercising some restraint in the content of your communications and the unnecessary volume thereof, but
that hope has passed.
I do not intend to answer the numerous communications by you; however, do not consider my non-response to be in any way an agreement with what you set forth. I
simply have more to do than engage in an endless exchange of communications with you. As indicated, I will have someone in this Office ( not Mr. Young) review your
efforts and inform me if they believe a response if required. Mr. Young will continue to proceed with your case that was assigned to him, but is not available to you in
the future.
I expect this brief notice to you to result in a number of lengthy responses. I will proceed as stated above.

Mr. Coughlin,

My office has previously provided you, through your attorney when you were represented by the PDs Office, all discovery in the above-referenced case. This included
all media, including a copy of the disk which was admitted during the trial on 12/11/12.

Based on your representations made in court that you did not receive that disk, and in an abundance of caution, I have now asked that my discovery unit provide you all
discovery again. This will include all media in addition to paper. You should be notified shortly of its availability. Despite resending you discovery in this case, it is still
my position, as I stated in court, that all discovery had been previuosly provided to you.

Separately, I wanted to let you know that Ms. Beechler, who testified for the State in this case on 12/11/12, unexpectedly and sadly passed away on December 13, 2012.
As Im sure you recall, at the time we broke for the day, she had just finished her direct examination. I filed a Notice of this with the Court today, with a copy being sent
to you; however, I also wanted to notify you by email.

Thanks,

Zach

Dear Clerk of Court Lindeman, Clerk of Court Orduna Hastings, and Court Administrator Tuttle,
I am writing to request that the materials mentioned in the SBn's 12/24/12 filing in 62337 (including, but not limited to, the
following:Filed Record of Bar Proceedings, Pleadings and Transcript of
Hearings. Vols. 1 through 3) be scanned and made available to me vie the eFlex system (as I was afforded access to the ROA Vol 1 to 5
in 60302...well, actually, I was not afforded access to Vol. 2 in that matter, and that prejudiced me in the preparation of my filings
therein, but...) or, that I be provided a fee waiver for any copying charges so that I may be afford a copy of everything (I mean absolutely
everything) that the State Bar of Nevada, NNDB, and or Panel transmitted to the Supreme Court of Nevada and your Office. While I
spoke with Ms. Castillo today, she indicated something along the lines of "wouldn't you arleady have these materials?"...but that is the
thing...the Clerk of Court of the State Bar of Nevada, Office of Bar Counsel, Bar Counsel King, Chair Echeverria, etc. have been
extremely unfair, threatening, misleading, (and some would say outright fraudulent) in attempting to deny me access to this record
(including violating SCR 105(2)(c) and threatening, and perhaps obtaining Orders of Protection (or TPO's or TRO's from a Reno
Justice Court that has a multitude of basis for being conflicted out of such matters....including Clerk of Court Townsend's emails and
transmission to Bar Counsel (which are odd, given Judge Sferrazza then claimed to refuse to testify at the 11/14/12 Hearing in light of
his remaining to preside on rcr2011-063341, a case wherein I was a party, and where, incidentally, I was not provided the Record on
appeal in that appeal to the District Court in that matter CR12-2025 (I believe that is required, especially where I was, I believe, granted
in forma pauperis status in the trial court in rcr2011-063341...however, as of today, 12/24/12, I still have not received the some 800
page ROA in cr12-2025 (I am not an efiler anymore in the Second Judicial District Court given my indigency I could not afford the
$300 yearly dues), nor have I received the 12/20/12 Supplemental Proceedings in that matter.
The "Record" filed by the SBN on 12/24/12 lacks many different cd/dvd's that I filed as exhibits. In one Hearing Exhibit instance
(Exhibit 15) there is at least a visual depiction fo the two cd's. In numerous other instances, there is not even a visual depiction of the
cd/dvds I attached as Exhibits to my filings. Regardless, it is fraudulent for the SBN to have filed the "Record" and not included those
materials. I am afraid to "contact" the SBN with my concerns dues to a coercive abuse of the TPO process by the SBN with the RJC, so
I ask that you forward my concerns to the SBN to avoid any ex parte communications allegations where legally permissible. I am
simply placed in a rock and a hard place vis a vis violatin the various TPO's or RMC, RJC Orders against faxing or "contacting" or
emailing, or doing anything, seemingly, consistent with seeking to access justice...
Additionally, I believe it is impermissible for the SBN to orient and bate stampe and bind the "volumes" in the manner in which they
were presented to your office, in addition to the illegible photocopying in the copies I was provided.
In both the State Bar of Nevada v. Coughlin matter (NG12-0204, 0434, and 0435, now on Appeal, apparently in 62337) and in that
RJC case rcr2011-063341 there have been numerous issue regarding whether my filings were file stamped or filed in, and disputes
related thereto. As such, it is extremely important, and of an exigent nature, to me that I be afforded access to these materials. In the
SBN matter, it simply is not fair for the SBN to get to wear the "filing office" hat, along with the hat of the prosecutor...and leverage
such an impermissible duel role to a, some might say, fraudulent degree, in preventing me from reviewing the record, and, it seems,
from even filing anything (I guess I could risk it and file something with the SBN today...and hope the RPD and RJC do not deem me in
violation of some TPO...which I do not even know if I am been served or not...and where Washoe County and, seemingly, the Reno
Justice Court and its Bailiff's continually violate "courthouse sanctuary" doctrine...by leveraging an out of the blue 12/5/12 Order by
RJC Chief Judge Sferrazza preventing me from having the same rights to file documents by fax that any other party in an RJC matter
has, or should (I know from experience in RJC rev2011-001708, the summary eviction/"Trial" from my former home law office that
was involved in 61901, 60838, 60331, and 61383, that "fax filing" is somewhat of a secret at the RJC, where some partys and their
attorneys seem to be accorded the ability to "fax file", where others, such as myself (for months and months) were told by RJC clerks
Christine Erickson and Robbin Baker that fax filing is not allowed...until, suddenly, I was told "a fax is an original" by Robbin
Baker...though Ms. Erickson got suddenly very reticent about these matters when I thereafter queried her about them....). Then there is
the matter of the RJC civil division failing to file in Coughlin's 12/26/12 Notice of Appeal of the 12/21/12 Order Resolving Coughlin's
Motion to Contest Personal Property lien in rev2011-001708, and, similarly, failing to file Coughlin 3/16/12 Notice of Appeal in RJC
rev2012-000374 (the summary eviction by Gayle Kern, Esq. and Sue King of Western Nevada Property Management of
Coughlin...Judge Linda Gardner (see 61901 and 54844) was a former associate of Kern's:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_ZhEHsoj4o The eviction depicted in that video occurred just minutes before the hearing before Nevada
Bankruptcy Court Judge Bruce T. Beesley (who went to McGeorge School of Law in 1977 with two other witnesses at Coguhlin's
11/14/12 formal disciplinary hearing, though only Judge Beesley and Washoe Legal Services's Paul Elcano's testimony was improperly
noticed just one day prior to the 11/14/12 hearing, in violation of SCR 105(2)(c) (especially where nothing unknown to Bar Counsel
King was alleged discovered or testified to).

36656+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
(and RJC Judge Schroeder granted Richard G. Hill, Esq. a TPO against Coughlin on 1/12/12 in RJC RCP2012-000018, though when
Hill dropped it at the 1/31/12 extension hearing, whereupon Coughlin sought to address Hill's abuse of process, RJC Judge Schroeder
threatened Coughlin, saying angrily: "Do you want to go to jail?". Coughlin was arrested for jaywalking by the Reno Police
Department on 1/12/12 and prosecuted in the Reno Municipal Court (Richard G. Hill, Esq. sat on the Central District Citizen's
Advisory Board of the City of Reno).
I do not know if I can even email the SBN this to avoid an ex parte communications allegation, so I ask that you copy the SBN if it is
permissible to do so.
I ask that in the short term I at least be emailed or faxed the Index for all of the materials in 63227, and the individual indexes (if any)
for each of the three volumes, and the file stamped cover page pf each filing by anyone in the entire matter (including any subpoenas by
Bar Counsel, and with a special emphasis on whether Bar Counsel ever did provide actual certified copies of the Orders from the
Second Judicial District Court which is relies so heavily upon, yet for which the Hearing Exhibits do not reveal any such certification,
despite Bar Counsel King's assertions to the contrary on the record, for the 6/28/12 Order by Judge Flanagan in CV11-03628 and Judge
Linda Gardner's 3/10/12 Order in DV08-01168) and a photocopy of any cd/dvd's (including those submitted by Coughlin as Exhibits,
which the SBN/NNDB/Panel have made fraudulent representations related thereto, where the SBN Clerk of Court and Bar Counsel
King indicated all filings by Coughlin (whom was given express permission to fax file by Clerk of Court of the SBN Laura Peters and
the SBN/NNDB/Panel on September 11th, 2012) would be copied to all 5 members of the Panel (Clark Vellis, Michael K. Johnson,
Stephen Kent, and Panel Chair John Echeverria) in their ENTIRETY (including any cd/dvd attachments being copied as well).
As demonstrated in the attachments, Panel Chair Echeverria's 11/16/12 Order attempts to prevent Coughlin from obtaining a transcript
of the 11/14/12 formal disciplinary hearing (which Chair Echeverria refused Coughlin's request to make a recording of...and at which
the "security" mentioned in Bar Counsel King's TPO application, just happened to be Second Judicial District Court Judge Linda
Gardner's Bailiff (see 54844, and DV08-01168, the divorce Trial at which the same Bailiff was in
attendance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdNGn7g1sHE )
Incidentally, the RJC did not find a conflict requiring transferring either the SBN or WCPD Jim Leslie's TPO applications against
Coughlin to the Sparks Justice Court, as the RJC did when Coughlin filed a TPO against RJC Bailiff (and Washoe County Sheriff's
Office employee) John Reyes in 2011 (the Sparks Justice Court denied Coughlin's TPO against Bailiff Reyes without a hearing or
response from the RJC, WCDA, Bailiff Reyes, or anyone...
Richard G. Hill, Esq. and Casey D. Baker, Esq. the attorney's whom succeeded in having Coughlin summarily evicted from his former
home law office in RJC rev2011-001708, had a good laugh with RJC Bailiff Reyes and Chief Bailiff Michael Sexton on
12/20/11when Hill quipped to Reyes and Sexton "I would like to shove some things up Coughlin's ass too!":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkAvvUvv7kA
The RJC finally gave Coughlin a hearing on his Motion to Contest Personal Property lien, considering Coughlin filed, on 11/16/11 a
Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien and NRS 40.253(8) requires a hearing within 10 days (Richard G. Hill needed to go on a six
week long vacation, and may have violated Rules of Professional Conduct where he emailed Coughlin an indication that he would be
able to control the RJC sufficient to prevent Coughlin getting a hearing until Hill came back from vacation six weeks later.
The Sparks Justice Court failed to file in Coughlin's tenant's affidavit on 6/26/12 in response to a fraudulent Declaration of Service by
Nevada Court Services Ryan Wray of 6/14/12in RJC Rev2012-001048 (Northwinds Apartments v. Zachary Barker Coughlin) wherein
Wray attested that he "personally served" Coughlin a 5 day unlawful detainer Notice even where Wray admits that he could not asceratin
whether or not Coughlin was inside rental #29 at 1680 Sky Mountain Drive, Northwinds Apartments, when Wray and Northwind's
Manage Duane Jakob attempted to break into the rental (in much the same manner RPD Officer Alan Weaver attempted to on
approximately June 20th, 2012) on June 28th, 2012, before securing a Lockout order from RJC Schroeder (whom, to Judge Sferrazza's
apparent dismay, wrote a letter of recommendation for Judge Linda Gardner in 2007 in her application to become a Justice of the Peace
for the RJC). Reyes and the RJC admit that Reyes told Coughlin, in the waiting area of the RJC in October 2011 where Coughlin was
sitting next to his then public defender Joe Goodnight, where Jim Leslie, Esq. was attempting to place a gag order on Goodnight and
harass Coughlin with his malevolent style of "preserving county assets" in the name of denying indigent criminal defendants their Sixth
Amendment Rights (and, for Leslie, this often involves sicking the RPD and RJC/WCSO Bailiffs on his, Goodnight, or DPD Biray
Dogan's clients...a leveraging that Leslie has on numerous occasions threatened Coughlin with in violation of Nevada law (extorting
clients with threats of abuse of process or filing a false police report). Jim Leslie, Esq. did not seem to afraid, in his role as "stand-by"
counsel of Coughlin, when at the 9:05 am mark in the following JAVS audio transcript of the Trial in rcr2011-063341 before Judge
Sferrazza, he attempts to aid Judge Sferrazza and DDA Young in further coercing from Coughlin his inviolable rights as a criminal
defendant:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pAFy9jg6VFk
Actually, Leslie scored a real hat trick as to violating his indigent criminal defendant's inviolable rights, where he managed to not only
coerce from his client, Coughlin, the decision as to whether or not to take a plea, but also, the decision as to whether or not to testify
and waive one's Fifth Amendment rights, in addition to Leslie's refusing to subpoena even one witness for Coughlin, much less those
instances where Leslie sought to have stricken from the record filings by Coughlin (such as the 2/15/12 and 8/29/12 filings by
Coughlin in rcr2011-063341) that Leslie had no right to even comment on (at least as to the 2/15/12 filing by Coughlin, and arguably
as to the 8/29/12 filing as well):
-Leslie violating Coughlin right to make decision as to whether to accept a plea bargain:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BnQWmL4_chY
-Leslie violating criminal defendant's right to decide whether or not to waive one's Fifth Amendment rights, in both the Suppression
Hearing of 8/29/12 and Trial on 8/29/12 and 9/5/12, and the right to subpoena and call witnesses in one's defense:

For more detail, please incorporate by reference all audio transcripts from Reno Justice Court, Reno Municipal Court, and Second

Should an attorney be disbarred based upon such wildy contradictory and inconsistent statements (many of which are unsworn hearsay)

testified that RPD Sargent John Tarter lied?:
http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_edit?ns=1&video_id=1uQQdukb3D4
The Washoe County District Attorney Office's DDA Zach Young has been able to obtain Ex Parte Emergency Orders Barring Coughlin
from faxing (even on as case that Judge Lynch was assigned to, but for which, curiously, former WCDA domestic violence prosecutor
(see 60302 for the multitude of conflicts) Judge David Clifton has taken possession of, rcr2012-065630, even where Judge Clifton
refused to respond by affidavit within 5 days to Coughlin 12/11/12 Petition or Application to Recuse or Conflict Out Judge Clifton,

request for Reno Marshal's report
Sent: Mon 12/31/12 4:22 PM
To: roperj@reno.gov (roperj@reno.gov)
Dear Chief Roper,
Hello, Sir.
As far as I know you are not an employee of the Reno Municipal Court.
I am writing to request that you provide me with a copy of any reports or documentation involving me (whether about me,
received from me, or in connection with any of the arrests made by your Marshal's (including the 11/30/11 summary civil
contempt arrest in 11 CR 22176 before Judge Howard in Department 4, or the 2/27/12 summary contempt arrest in 11 TR
26800 before Judge Nash Holmes in Department 3).
I also ask that you provide me with a copy of anything you have sent the State Bar of Nevada about me (including some means
of determining what was included in any such transmissions, ie, so I will know the difference between what you may be
providing me in reference to my above request, and this more specific request regarding materials you (or the RMC after being
requested from you) provided to the State Bar of Nevada.
http://www.washoecounty.us/large_files/agendas/072407/4.pdf
At the above link, from
Here in Nevada we love to have Judges, Sheriff's, District Attorney's, Chief of Police, etc., etc., write letters of recommendation for or endorse candidates for
judicial office, for the public defender positions, etc., etc., no matter how tacky and inappropriate that is, or what appearance of impropriety, bias, or conflcit it may
exude:
http://www.washoecounty.us/large_files/agendas/062105/7.pdf
Please note that with respect to any subpoenas served on you, your Marshals, etc., that NRCP 45 is not strictly applied, as it is
modified in the context of a formal disciplinary hearing, and the SBN/Panel/Board, waived all subpoena or subpoena duces
tecum witness fees and granted me the right to issue my own supoenas (ie, they do not need to be issued by the SBN Clerk of
Court or bare the SBN seal). Therefore, it is my position that the Marshals whom I had served by a non-party on or about
12/6/12, and any subpoena duces tecum served, must be complied with, lest one risk being in contempt. Regardless, I believe I
am entitled to at least one copy of the City of Reno Marshal's report and probable cause sheet in connection with both of those
contempt arrests.
Please ALSO CONSIDER THIS AN OPEN RECORDS LAW REQUEST FOR DOCUMENTATION/ FREEDOM OF
INFORMATION ACT REQUEST:
http://www.sunshinereview.org/index.php/Nevada_Open_Records_Act
I would greatly appreciate it if you would either email or fax me these materials in addition to any recordings or other media in your control or made by your
Marshals (I know Marshals Thompson and Coppa admitted to recording me in their letter/affidavit to the State Bar of Nevada on or about March 22nd, 2012.
I do not know of you being represented by an attorney. If you are please provide me their contact information, or at least, their name. You may want to consult
with an attorney in connection with this request. I will note again that Marshal Menzel has recently taken to following me around the courthouse, including
appearing in the Reno Justice Court filing office when I go there (even if I had not previously gone to the Reno Municipal Court during such a visit) and up to the
District Attorney's Office on the fourth floor of 1 South Sierra St. and back down, staring at me, facing me, glaring and often making comments about my not having
a job. Please note that Marshal Menzel previously worked as a Bailiff at the RJC, and wrote a letter of recommendation for RMC court appointed defender Lew
Taitel, whom is listed as "Staff Attorney" for Nevada Court Services, whom I was suing at the time in November 2011 when Mr. Taitel accepted my case for
representation in the criminal trespass matter before Judge William Gardner in 11 CR 26405 in the RMC. I sued Judge WIlliam Gardner's sister in case 54844 in
the Nevada Supreme Court, and she and her brother, Judge William Gardner, and Judge Nash Holmes filed a grievance against me with the State Bar of Nevada,
which has now become a Complaint in NG12-0435 and NG12-0434 seeking to have me disbarred, which rest largely on an allegation by Judge Nash Holmes that
Marshal Harley told her certain things, and Coughlin is entitled to the Marshal Reports related thereto and has not been provided them.
All sorts of conflicts of interest are detailed at the following link, many involving the actions against me of late and the connections between Judge Nash Holmes,
Judge Linda Gardner, Judge William Gardner, RMC court appointed defender Lewis Taitel (whom never did comply with RMC Rules in putting into writing to reason
for his seeking to withdraw as counsel of record in RMC 11 CR 26405), Terri Vaus-Wong, Judge Linda Gardner's former law partner Gayle Kern, Esq. (see RJC
rev2012-000374, wherein Judge Schroeder entered a default summary eviction Order against me, carried out less than 5 hours latter by the Washoe County
Sheriff's Office, at gunpoint, without identifying themselves prior to breaking in, similar to WCSO's Deputy Machen's conduct in rcr2012-067980, and which
interferred with Coughlin's representation of his client Keller in the NVB adversary proceeding Cadle Company v. Keller in 10-05104 on 3/15/12, just 5 hours after
Coughlin showed up to the RJC for the summary eviction hearing in rev2012-000374, where the hearing was noticed for 8:30 am, despite the fax header on the
Lockout Order to the WCSO and or RJC Filing Office indicating a time of 8:24 am, and despite Coughlin being accused of a RPC violation that Kern herself her
seems to violate in obtaining a default where she clearly knew Coughlin was contesting the eviction and she saw Coughlin walking into the courtroom as she was
walking out of it with her default summary eviction Order being obtained:
http://www.ripoffreport.com/real-estate-services/gayle-kern-esq/gayle-kern-esq-gayle-kern-de-f9bb7.htm ), the Washoe County Sheriff's Office (letter of
recommendation for Taitel by Sheriff Hayley Marshal Mentzel, Department of Alternative Sentencing (where RJC Bailiff's have violated courthouse sanctuary
doctrine and rules, in much the same manner RMC Marshal Joel Harley did on 2/27/12 in attempting to effect personal service upon me of the Order to Show
Cause by Judge Flanagan in CV11-03628, the appeal of the summary eviction/"Trial" from my former home law office, where opposing counsel Richard G. Hill, Esq.
hired the Washoe County Sheriff's Office to personally serve me the 2/8/12 Order to Show Cause in 03628 (which I had already been served by the Eflex system
given I was an electronic filer attached to the case, a party, and likely the "attorney of record" therein, which, under Caplow would make Hill's attempt to have me
served at the 2/27/12 11 TR 26800 traffic citation trial stemming from RPD Sargent Tarter retaliating against me by issuing me 3 traffic citations outside of Richard
G. Hill's office on 2/15/12, upon my informing him that RPD Officer Chris Carter, Jr had said to me, upon making a custodial arrest for criminal trespass incident to
a complaint signed by Richard G. Hill, Esq., and upon my asking him if he was "on Richard G. HIll's payroll", Officer Carter said: "yes, Richard G. HIll pays me a lot
of money so I arrest who he says to arrest and I do what he ways to do". That seeming admission seems to be supported by the conduct of the RPD and
admissions in the following:

11/2/12, though only marked "received", and though mentioned in Judge William Gardner's 11/13/12 Order denying Coughlin a New Trial, that document was not
included by the RMC's Lisa Wagner or RMC Court Administrator Cassandra Jackson (whom writes emails to the SBN about Coughlin detailing what Coughlin's
clothes were like during a visit to the filing office counter (ie, not the "Office of the ClerK") to the State Bar of Nevada, unprompted)

Also, the RPD arrested Couglin, a custodial arrest, for jaywalking on 1/12/12 in RMC 12 CR 00696 incident to the lies by Richard G. Hill, Esq. to officers (wherein
Hill alleges Coughlin had already lost his appeal of the eviction in CV11-03628, despite a decision not being issued in that appeal until 3/30/12, and further where
Hill's Witness Statement and allegations in his TPO, granted by RJC Judge Schroeder in RCP2012-000018, simply are not supported by the videos of the events:

Dear Sparks Justice Court, WCSO, RPD, and Reno Justice Court.
I have received (though not personally served) what appears to be an eviction notice (5 day unlawful detainer?) for rentals located at 1680 Sky Mountain Drive,
Reno, 89523, but the notice indicates that I must file a Tenant's Answer with the Sparks Justice Court.
Am I mistaken in viewing this matter to be outside the jurisdiction of the Sparks Justice Court, and rather, a matter to be handled in Reno Justice Court?
Given Sparks Justice Court is open 5 days a week (closes at noon on Fridays) and Reno Justice Court has 4 judicial days a week, the deadline for filing a special
appearance (to contest jurisdiction) and or a Tenant's Answer of Affidavit is difficult to measure.
I spoke with a Reno Police Department who identified himself as Sargent Miller last week and he indicated theWCSO planned to come effectuate an eviction on
this date, June 26, 2012.
I believe that would be premature, as Nevada Landlord Tenant law provides for filing a Tenant's Answer or Affidavit by noon after the fifth full day (judicial days)
and Fridays in Sparks Justice Court are not full days in that sense, and regardless, Sparks Justice Court, I believe, is not the appropriate forum where, as here, the
situs is located in Reno (Ward 1-nap?)
Judge Nash Holmes detail what the Reno Marshals alleged regarding Coughlin's actions of 2/27/12, here, in the audio transcript from the continuation of the
traffic citation trial for the citations made outside Richard G. Hill's law office on 11/15/12 (where Coughlin had gone to get his client's files, wallet, state issued
driver's license, and keys, which Hill refuse, though RPD Sargent Tarter "giving Coughlin a break" for not citing him for not having his current driver's license, is
mentioned in Judge Nash Holmes 3/12/12 Order...though Judge Holmes ruled irrelevant any inquiry into why Coughlin did not have his current driver's license with
him during that traffic stop).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uQQdukb3D4
Marshal Harley failed to appear at Coughlin's 11/14/12 formal disciplinary hearing before the State Bar of Nevada despite his being served a subpoena by a non-
party and the SCR 105(4) requirements and other rules and procedures applicable to such subpoenas and . It is time for Marshal Harley and the Reno Marshals to
release the reports, recordings, and documentation in its possession or control respecting Coughlin and to set the record straight, and for Marshal Scott Coppa and
WCSO Deputy Cheung to speak to the micro sd card, and their conversations in the back room of the jail's "sally bay" after Marshall Coppa pulled Deputy Cheung
aside and whispered into his ear. Further, the Reno Marshal and Marshal Deighton ought indicate why they retrieved Coughlin's property on 2/28/12 (after it had
been booked into Coughlin's personal property at the jail) and why Coughlin's smart phone and micro sd data card were returned to him with the data wiped on
4/7/12, and why WCSO Deputy Hodge, Trudy Darlington, Debi Cummings, Brandi Berriman, and Patricia Beckman, and others made the contradictory statements
they did about the chain of custody of Coughlin's property.
Finally, DDA Mary Kandaras and those above need to reveal upon what authority or Order, or warrant, the WCDA and or WCSO released Coughlin's personal
property to the RMC Marshals, the RMC, and Judge Nash Holmes.
Additionaly, the RMC and Judge Nash Holmes, Marilyn Tognoni, and Terri Vaus-Wong and any other assistant to Judge Nash Holmes and the Reno City Attorney
and Washoe County Public Defender's Office and WCDA need to reveal the communciation admitted to between Judge Nash Holmes, the RMC, and the Washoe
County Public Defender's Office in Judge Nash Holmes' 3/14/12 written grievance against Coughlin, NG12-0434 to the State Bar of Nevada.
Jim Leslie, Biray Dogan, and the Washoe County Public Defener's Office and RMC court appointed Defenders Keith Loomis, Esq. and Henry Sotelo, Esq. need to
divulge their rationale for failing to procure and provide to Coughlin and utilize in his defense the audio transcripts of the hearings in:
7/31/12 RJC rev2012-001048 Northwinds Apartments v. Coughlin (testimony by Northwinds Manager Duane Jakob, while being represented in court before RJC
Judge Pearson (whom allowed it) by an unlicense unauthorized practictioner of law, Nevada Court Servces CEO Jeff Chandler, whom wrote Lew Taitel, Esq. a letter
of recommendation in his attempt to become a Reno Justice Court Justice of the Peace, and whom Judge Pearson himself filed a Judicial Discipline Commission
Complaint against (at that 7/31/12 hearing, Judge Pearson went against NRCP 11's dictate, made applicable via NRS 40.400, against corporations, such as
Northwinds Apartments Associate, Inc. of Bellevue, Washington, appearing pro se without an attorney, which is not allowed under NRS Chapter 40 or 118A,
regardless of what Judge Pearson may have ruled, similar to what Judge Sferrazza ruled in allowing Gayle Kern's client, Park Terrace Townhomes HOA to appear
without a licensed attorney on 2/12/12 in RJC rev2012-074408 , leading to the 6/28/12 arrest and summary eviction lockout of Coughlin in rcr2012-067980.
As a courtesy, here is a link to the materials you were previously provided in the attached emails to you from me:
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=43084638F32F5F28!5822
In her testimony on 11/14/12, Judge Nash Holmes said a lot of hearsay...perhaps Marshal Menzel, a former RJC Bailiff who is known to walk away from his post at
the RMC and following Coughlin around the entire building at 1 South Sierra St., has some input as to whom is telling Judge Nash Holmes what and the unfortunate
fallout related thereto? Coughlin filed for a Protection Order against both RJC Bailiff John Reyes (which was transferred to the Sparks Justice Court and summarily
denied without any interview of Coughlin, despite Reyes admitting that he said to Coughlin "I am going to put my foot in your ass" with Coughlin's public defender
Joe Goodnight and Jim Leslie, Esq. sitting next to Coughlin). The RJC recently granted Leslie and the Washoe County Public Defender and Patrick O. King, Esq. and
the State Bar of Nevada TPO's against Coughlin where Leslie and King both lied in their applications in alleging Coughlin linked to a "video" of some violent scene
where the link in question is clearly only an audio sound bite from a movie at www.Hark.com.
The exact transcript of that quotation from an Academy Award nominated motion picture is:
"I ain't no white trash piece of s***. I'm better than you all. I can out learn you. I can out read you. I can outthink you, and I can out philosophize you. And I'm going to outlast
you. You think a couple of whacks to my good old boy gut's gonna get me down? It's going to take a hell of a lot more than that, Counselor, to prove you're better than me!!"
There is no video clip at the link, despite the lies by WCPD Jim Leslie and State Bar of Nevada Bar Counsel Patrick O. King. But, if one were to try to keep track of all the lies
WCPD Jim Leslie, Esq. and State Bar of Nevada Bar Counsel Patrick O. King or Clerk of Court Laura Peter tell, well, one simply would not have time for anything else.
Further, the quotation mentions learning, reading, and philosophizing, hardly threatening subject matters supportive of the TPOs granted by RJC Judge Pearson against
Coughlin, in favor of WCPD Jim Leslie and SBN Bar Counsel Patrick King in RCP2012-000599 and RCP2012-000607. RJC Judge Shroeder actually denied a TPO
application Coughlin filed against Leslie, but for some reason that application was not given its own distinct case number, but rather lumped in with the one Judge Pearson
granted WCPD Jim Leslie (who admits he failed to turn over to Coughlin the discovery of 911 calls in RJC rcr2012-065630 (a case originally "randomly" assigned to Judge
Lynch, but for which Judge Clifton, a former WCDA prosecutor for 25 years working in the domestic violence unit with the same former WCDA and now Second Judicial
Family Court Judge Linda Gardner (Coughlin sued her in 54844 after her April 2009 Order was cited by Paul Elcano of Washoe Legal Services as the basis for firing Coughlin
as a domestic violence attorney from legal aid, though Judge Linda Gardner's brother, RMC Judge William Gardner refused to recuse himself from the criminal trespass
prosecution of Coughlin in RMC 11 CR 26405, which involved RMC court appointed defender Lew Taitel being assigned the case (at the 11/14/12 arraignment Judge William
Gardner refused to identify the potential appointed defense attorneys to Coughlin...and that's too bad, given that RMC court appointed defense counsel Lew Taitel, Esq. was
ultimately appointed by the RMC to defend Coughlin in November 2011 in criminal trespass complaint where opposing counsel Richard G. Hill, Esq. signed the criminal
complaint incident to the custodial arrest of Coughlin on 11/13/11 at Coughlin's former home law office at 121 River Rock St. Reno, NV 89512 (nice and close to the
Courthouse and law library, which is used by only two local attorneys...Zach Coughlin (well temporarily suspended attorney Zach Coughlin, Esq.), and Richard Cornell, Esq..
That's it. Those are the only two you will ever see there, honest. You'll see Keith Loomis, Esq. down at the Supreme Court's library in Carson City on occasion. Speaking of,
Loomis was served a Subpoena for the 11/14/12 formal disciplinary hearing in NG12-0204, 0434, and 0435, but, he, like RMC Marshal Joel Harley, played hooky that day.
Judge Sferrazza allows the unauthorized practice of eviction law by a property manager similar to what Judge Pearson allowed Nevada Court Services to do in RJC Rev2012-
001048.
Judge Linda Gardner previously worked for Gayle Kern, Esq. Judge Linda Gardner's April 2009 Order sanctioning a domestic violence legal aid attorney resulted in his firing,
and the following lawsuits:
Her brother, Reno Municipal Court Judge William Gardner, refused to recuse himself from the criminal trespass prosecution of Coughlin incident to the custodial arrest at his
former home law office in RMC 11 CR 26405, which, incidentally involved Lew Taitel, Esq. being appointed as Coughlin's defense counsel despite Coughlin then suing Taitel's
business partners incident to that very eviction, Nevada Court Services and Jeff Chandler. Somehow, RMC Judicial Assistnat Lisa Gardner did not manage to file stamp the
Notice of Appeal Coughlin served on the City Attorney Hazlett-Stevens and submitted for filing with the RMC on 6/28/12 shortly before Nevada Court Services, the Washoe
County Sheriff's Office Deputy Machen, and the Reno Police Department arrested Coughlin again in rcr2012-067980 (incident to the wrongful eviction in rjc rev2012-001048)
on 6/28/12, and then again in the 7/2/12 arrest by the RPD Officer Alan Weaver and Sargent Dye in RMC 12 CR 12420 (where, on 7/5/12 court appointed RMC defender
Keith Loomis, Esq. conspired against Coughlin during the unnoticed bail increase hearing where, again, Judge Gardner, raised Coughlin's bail 10 times the original amount,
resulting in 20 days in jail for Coughlin, during which a $40K attorney fee award by Judge Flanagn was issued, incident to, you guessed it, that same summary eviction appeal
cv11-03628. Judge Hardy wrote Lew Taitel a letter of recommendation for the RJC job...but denied several of Coughlin's Motions for in forma pauperis status in 2012,
including some related to the eviction from Coughlin's former home law office and lawsuits related thereto.
So, then there is the mother load of conflicts and intrigue...Lew Taitel, Esq.'s application and collection of reference letters in his bid to become a Reno Justice Court Justice of
the Peace, including:
a letter by City of Reno prosecutor Pamela Robert, Esq., whose prosecutorial misconduct in RMC 11 CR 22176 and the appeal in CR11-2064 is now memorialized in 60838,
the audio of the 11/30/11 Trial before RMC Judge Kenneth Howard and the Wal-Mart interrogation room video that City Attorney Roberts possessed that proves she put on
perjured testimony by Reno Sparks Indian Colony Officer Kameron Crawford, incident to the Trial where Judge Gardner denied Coughlin court appointed counsel in violation
of the Sixth Amendment, denied Coughlin a continuance based upon Judge Howard's mistaken belief that Coughlin had caused the continuance of the 11/14/11 Trial date (in the
last 3 minutes of the transcript Judge Howard admits his error, but believes he ameliorates it by removing a few hours of the community service requirement he order Coughlin to
perform, then Judge Howard attempts to mislead Coughlin as to the appeability of his NRS 22.030 civil summary contempt 3 day immediate incarceration of Coughlin.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKmLtzgfFxk
Taitel's other letters of reference include ones from RJC Judge Clifton (formerly a WCDA prosecutor for 25 years working largely in the domestic violence arena, including at
one point with Judge Linda Gardner:

Echeverria. Judge Elliott also worked for Chair Echeverria's father's law firm, Echeverria and Osborne. http://www.washoecourts.com/index.cfm?page=elliott&judge_id=d10
Judge Elliott graduated from Stanford University in 1971. He worked for the law firm of Echeverria and Osborne in Reno and served as an Assistant City Attorney for the City
of Sparks. He completed the Course for Prosecutors sponsored by the National Association of District Attorneys at Northwestern University. He was a founder of the Washoe
County Domestic Violence Task Force. Judge Elliott has been active in community organizations. He has served as a director of the Committee to Aid Abused Women
Advisory Board. He is a past president of the Reno Area Stanford Club.
WDCR Rule 2. Organization of the court; chief judge; court administrator. 1. All civil and criminal cases shall be randomly assigned.
Somehow, Judge Elliot managed to be "randomly" assigned four straight criminal appeals wherein Coughlin is a party following his being "randomly" assigned Coughlin's wrongful
termination lawsuit against Paul Elcano, Washoe Legal Services, and the Committee to Aid Abused Women (CAAW). This included the appeal of the Wal-Mart petty larceny
conviction at issue in the SCR 111(6) Petition resulting in Coughlin's current temporary suspension, in 60838, from which the 6/7/12 Order referring the matter to the disciplinary
panel for a formal

In RJC RCR2012-065630, Coughlin filed a Declaration in Lieu of an Affidavit seeking to disqualify Judge Clifton from hearing the "misuse of emergency services" prosecution
of Couglin (which was amended on 7/27/12 to a "obstructing a public officer charge" at the same rushed hearing in which WCPD Biray Dogan, Esq. was "relieved" of all the
"work" he had been doing on Coughlin's defense...and DDA Young was granted an Order barring Coughlin from faxing him or the RJC incident to a Motion for such relief DDA
Young had only mailed to Dogan the day before...and despite claiming to be in a big, big hurry, DDA Clifton, er, Judge Clifton managed to contradict his earlier statement on the
record that it was not permissible to file the Amended Complaint in in open court and arraign Coughlin at that time, when he allowed DDA Young to do just that. Which was
convenient given the Trial Setting of December 11th, 2012 insured that Coughlin was prevented from filing pre-trial motion prior to Dogan being removed as attorney of record,
and upon Dogan being removed 14 days prior to Trial, it was too late for Coughlin to file pre-trial motions himself given the statutory dictate that such motions be filed 15 days
prior to trial. And while Judge Clifton insisted Coughlin not refer to any matters outside of that specific case (RCR2012-065630) he allowed DDA Young to base the lion share
of his factual support for his contention that Coughlin was overburdening his fax machine on faxes allegedly sent to him in a different case entirely, RCR2011-063341. Judge
Clifton refused follow Nevada law under NRS 53.045, where Judge Clifton refused to comply with the dicates of NRS 1.235 upon
NRS 1.230 Grounds for disqualifying judges other than Supreme Court justices.
1. A judge shall not act as such in an action or proceeding when the judge entertains actual bias or prejudice for or against one of the parties to the
action.
NRS 1.235 Procedure for disqualifying judges other than Supreme Court justices.
1. Any party to an action or proceeding pending in any court other than the Supreme Court, who seeks to disqualify a judge for actual or implied bias
or prejudice must file an affidavit specifying the facts upon which the disqualification is sought. The affidavit of a party represented by an attorney
must be accompanied by a certificate of the attorney of record that the affidavit is filed in good faith and not interposed for delay. Except as provided
in subsections 2 and 3, the affidavit must be filed:
(a) Not less than 20 days before the date set for trial or hearing of the case; or
(b) Not less than 3 days before the date set for the hearing of any pretrial matter.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection and subsection 3, if a case is not assigned to a judge before the time required under subsection 1
for filing the affidavit, the affidavit must be filed:
(a) Within 10 days after the party or the party's attorney is notified that the case has been assigned to a judge;
(b) Before the hearing of any pretrial matter; or
(c) Before the jury is empaneled, evidence taken or any ruling made in the trial or hearing,
whichever occurs first. If the facts upon which disqualification of the judge is sought are not known to the party before the party is notified of the
assignment of the judge or before any pretrial hearing is held, the affidavit may be filed not later than the commencement of the trial or hearing of
the case.
3. If a case is reassigned to a new judge and the time for filing the affidavit under subsection 1 and paragraph (a) of subsection 2 has expired, the
parties have 10 days after notice of the new assignment within which to file the affidavit, and the trial or hearing of the case must be rescheduled for
a date after the expiration of the 10-day period unless the parties stipulate to an earlier date.
4. At the time the affidavit is filed, a copy must be served upon the judge sought to be disqualified. Service must be made by delivering
the copy to the judge personally or by leaving it at the judge's chambers with some person of suitable age and discretion employed
therein.
5. The judge against whom an affidavit alleging bias or prejudice is filed shall proceed no further with the matter and shall:
(a) Immediately transfer the case to another department of the court, if there is more than one department of the court in the district, or request
the judge of another district court to preside at the trial or hearing of the matter; or
(b) File a written answer with the clerk of the court within 2 days after the affidavit is filed, admitting or denying any or all of the allegations contained
in the affidavit and setting forth any additional facts which bear on the question of the judge's disqualification. The question of the judge's
disqualification must thereupon be heard and determined by another judge agreed upon by the parties or, if they are unable to agree, by a judge
appointed:
(1) By the presiding judge of the judicial district in judicial districts having more than one judge, or if the presiding judge of the judicial district is
sought to be disqualified, by the judge having the greatest number of years of service.
(2) By the Supreme Court in judicial districts having only one judge.
RMC Judge Howard held Coughlin in summary contempt in retaliation for Coughlin's moving for Judge Howard to recuse himself based upon evident
impartiality and other rationale during the 11/30/11 petty larceny trial in 11 CR 22176, wherein Coughlin was denied his Sixth Amendment Right To
Counsel, denied a continuance, and deprived of his constitutional right to decide whether or not to testify on his own behalf, and deprived the ability
to rebut prejudicial hearsay allowed into evidence by Judge Howard, amongst numerous other due process deprivations.
Coughlin filed his Motion to disqualify Judge Clifton prior to the start of Trial on December 11th, 2012. Coughlin attempted to have a copy served
upon Judge Clifton (out of respect for Judge Clifton and various doctrines related to judicial immunity from service while on the bench, Coughlin
sought to leave the copy at the Judge's chambers, but was not granted access thereto, so instead Couglin consulted with RJC Chief Bailiff Sexton
and the counter clerks at the second floor of the Reno Justice Court and they accepted Coughlin's Motion to Disqualify Judge Clifton and indicated
they would provide it to him soon thereafter, and, in fact, upon the Trial starting over an hour or so later, Judge Clifton not only had the filign office's
copy but the copy Coughlin left with the RJC staff upon Coughlin being denied access to the Judges Chambers. Judge Clifton cited Coughlin's failure
to have his Motion to Disqualify notarize (ie, in an Affidavit form versuse a Declaration made under penalty of perjury in lieu of an Affidavit, as
allowable under NRS 53.045, a practice by Coughlin which the Nevada Supreme has expressly approved in Buckwalter v. Dist. Ct., 126 Nev. ___, ___,
234 P.3d 920, 921 (2010).
"This original writ proceeding asks us to decide whether a medical expert's declaration under penalty of perjury as provided in NRS 53.045 can satisfy the affidavit
requirement stated in NRS 41A.07 1. We agree with the district court that it can and therefore deny writ relief....The latter provides that [a]ny matter whose
existence or truth may be established by an affidavit may be established with the same effect by an unsworn declaration of its
existence or truth signed by the declarant under penalty of perjury, and dated, in substantially the following form: I declare under
penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. NRS 53.045. An affidavit is a written statement sworn to by the declarant
before an officer authorized to administer oaths. Black's Law Dictionary 66 (9th ed.2009). A declaration under NRS 53.045 is not
sworn, but instead is dated and signed under penalty of perjury. Petitioners contend that because NRS 41A.071 expressly requires an
affidavit, the complaint must be dismissed. We disagree. Statutes must be construed together so as to avoid rendering any portion of a
statute immaterial or superfluous. Albios v. Horizon Communities, Inc., 122 Nev. 409, 418, 132 P.3d 1022, 1028 (2006). NRS 41A.071
imposes an affidavit requirement, which NRS 53.045 permits a litigant to meet either by sworn affidavit or unsworn declaration made
under penalty of perjury. See State, Dep't Mtr. Veh. v. Bremer, 113 Nev. 805, 813, 942 P.2d 145, 150 (1997) (concluding that a
declaration under NRS 53.045 met the affidavit requirement of the breathalyzer statute, even though the statute's language required
an affidavit). To hold otherwise would make NRS 53.045 meaningless because it would require every statute imposing an affidavit
requirement to state when a declaration may be used instead of an affidavit. Interpreting the two statutes so as to give meaning to
both, we conclude that a declaration that complies with NRS 53.045 can fulfill NRS 41A.071's affidavit requirement." Buckwalter v.
Dist. Ct., 126 Nev. ___, ___, 234 P.3d 920, 921 (2010).
NRS53.045Use of unsworn declaration in lieu of affidavit or other sworn declaration; exception.Any matter whose existence or truth may be established by an affidavit or other sworn
declaration may be established with the same effect by an unsworn declaration of its existence or truth signed by the declarant under penalty of perjury, and dated, in substantially the following form:

1.If executed in this State: I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.

(interesting, because the Reno City Attorney is freely given continuances, like the one it received in the criminal trespass prosecution of Coughlin where Richard G. Hill, Esq.
needed to go on vacation for six weeks, in the case where RMC defenders Taitel, then Puentes, then Loomis all refused to subpoena percipient witnesses RPD Officer Carter
(how was Coughlin's Sixth Amendment Right to Confrontation fulfilled where neither RPD Officers showed up?), nor Sargent Marcia Lopez, nor landlord Dr. Matthew J.
Merliss, MD. Opposing counsel Hill and Baker billed their neurologist client $60,000 incident to their counseling him to undertake a summary eviction against a commercial
tenant based only upon a No Cause Eviction Notice, which is expressly forbidden under NRS 40.253 (ie, it was, to borrow a medical analogy, a "wrong site surgery"...so how
could RMC Judge Gardner find "irrelevant" the witness bias incident to Hill or Baker's testimony elicted by Coughlin questioning them on the financial arrangement with their
client or their own desire to avoid malpractice liability?
Regardless, both the attorneys fee awards against Coughlin by Judge Flanagan in the appeal of the RJC eviction in rev2011-001708 and the criminal trespass conviction against
Coughlin incident thereto in RMC 11 CR 26405 are based upon an Eviction Order and Decision of 10/25/11 and Summary Eviction Order of 10/27/11, both by Judge
Sferrazza that are void, stale, or otherwise inoperative on a number of grounds, such as:
1. Those Orders were made at a time in which the RJC and Judge Sferrazza had been divested of jurisdiction to make any such Orders given Coughlin's filing of a Notice of
Appeal on October 19th, 2011 in RJC Rev2011-001708 and, in the District Court:

CV11-03628 ZACHARY COUGHLIN VS. MATTHEW MERLISS (D7) Plaintiff 21-DEC-2011
As a general rule, the timely filing of a notice of appeal divests the district court of the jurisdiction to act and vests jurisdiction in the Supreme Court (Mack-
Manley v. Manley, 122 Nev. 849) as to those issues pending on appeal. However, the district court retains jurisdiction over matters that are collateral to and
independent from the appealed matters. The court may still entertain motions and deny them or if inclined to grant may certify such an intent (Foster v.
Dingwall citing to Huneycutt v. Huneycutt, 94 Nev. 79). Enforcement actions are not divested.
Rule2.Organization of the court; chief judge; court administrator.
2.The district judges shall elect from among the general jurisdiction division and family court division judges a chief judge for a term of 2 years. The chief judge is the presiding judge as referred

5.The chief judge shall supervise the court administrator and presiding judge(s). The chief judge shall appoint committees of the court. The chief judge shall preside over all judges meetings and
shall speak for the court on matters therein approved by the judges. The chief judge shall represent the court in its relations with other agencies of the government, the bar, the general public and the

Dear Second Judicial District Court,

I am writing based on exigent circumstances to request a fee waiver of the yearly $300 Eflex charge as my
account is currenly deactivated or disabled. I am not copying the State Bar of Nevada or President Flaherty or
the Panel Members (Chair John Echeverria, Clark Vellis, Karen Pearl, Stephen Kent, or Michael Johnson or
Bar Counsel Clark of King becuase I may have had a TPO served against me recently (I am not entirely sure,
and, given the courthouse sanctuary doctrine, I am not sure it is appropriate for the same RJC Bailiff who
threatened to "put my foot up your ass" to WCPD Jim Leslie, Esq.'s delight, to be attempting serve me
anything while I am checking in with the Department of Alternative Sentencing, which Judge Sferrazza
mandated I do, and which, I guess, incidentally, allows for the States to search my home, office, or personall
effects (including computers, hard drives, etc. and not sure how that "sentence" is not retaliatory given the
standard sentence is $500 or five days in jail, and I had already served 7...but the sentence sure would seem to
help the WCDA's Office, Washoe County, the SBN, and others influence and leverage certain things from
hereforth) just about any hour of the day (despite the fact that the conviction on 11/20/12 violated Shep v.
State in addition to pretty much every other constitutional rights criminal defendants have). I think it is
possible I will be murdered soon or incarcerated pretexutally and denied any ability to file legal documents, so
I have to send this out in this manner, but I wish to avoid any ex parte contact allegations. I wish my filings of
11/2/12 in 11 cr 26405 and thos I submitted for filing but have only been held by the Nevada Supreme Clerk's
Office as "received" but not filed in 61901 will someday see the light of day, including the videos submitted. I
am afraid I might be violating some TPO if I copy Bar Counsel/NNDB/Panel, etc. on this...but would not mind
if it was forwarded to them if not violative of any TPO, rules, or laws. Additionally, I think it is inappropriate
for 60317 to be dismissed, especially given the improperly noticed testimony of WLS's Paul Elcano, Judge L.
Gardner's bailiff's attendance at the 11/14/12 Hearing, RMC "official transcriptionist" Pam Longoni's
connection to the 11/14/12 formal disciplinary hearing, the multitude willfull violations of my SCR 105(2)(c)
rights (including Judge Beesley's participation and having the 3,000 pages in a box dropped off to my on
11/8/12 for an 11/14/12 Hearing, where the SBN alleges that complies with the SCR 105(2)(c) dictate that I be
afforded access to those materials "at least 30 days" prior to the 11/14/12 Hearing, particulary where that was
co-signed by Panel Chair Echeverria and both Echeverria and Bar Counsel and the Chair (at least according to
King) have repeatedly attempted to thwart my attempts to filing anything in that case, alternatively required
me to call ahead with 15 minutes warning before appearing to file anything, then calling the police when I
comply with that strange dictate, then, apparently, applying for a protection order or giving me a trespass
notice of some sort whenever I point out their fraudulent conduct, and how easily proven it is.

I need this Eflex access to defend myself in the formal disciplinary proceedings against me before the State
Bar of Nevada, Nevada Supreme Court, and anything that may issue in connection with my license to practice
patent law before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. My eflex username is ZachCoughlin. It is
disabled. I live in a rented fifth wheel trailer that I rent for about $75 a month plus incidentals. I get food
from food pantries. I have no money in my one bank account (a Bank of America account) and its been that
way for months. I own no real estate or stocks or have any assets beyond simple household furnishings. I am
an independent jack of all trades/research whose law license is suspened currently in Nevada and I have next
to no income per month...to the point where I am embarrassed about it and it would probably be an
exaggeration to say I am making even $200 a month. My 65 year old mother occasionally helps me out
financially with my rent or some gas money.

As the holdings in In re Ward, 654 So. 2d 549 (Fla. 1995) and In re Fogan, 646 So. 2d 191 (Fla. 1994)
indicate, unsolicited contact with the adjudicatory or investigative entity often involves the judge in
impermissible lending of the prestige of office, whether intended or not. It is this appearance of impropriety
judges must strive to avoid.

I have not been provided (though I believe they are required to) by th RJC a copy of the Record on Appeal in
CR12-2025. Certainly, DDA Young and the WCDA have been provided access via elfex to the 800 page
Record on Appeal therein, yet the RJC has failed to mail me my copy. And time is of the essence. I have
already been prejudiced in that regard and I believe NRS 189.030 has been violated in that the RJC has failed
to order the transcripts prepared of all hearings in that matter yet. Please see CR12-1018 and the recent IFP
and Request for Transcript I filed in CR12-2025. I need eflex access, further, for many of the cases necessary
to defending myself in the SBN v. Coughlin SCR 105 Complaint, and to defending myself against the
numerous retaliatory prosecutions and matters related thereto.

I respectfully request that I be given immediate EFlex privileges and that the yearly dues thereto be waived.

Further, I believe it would be entirely in appropriate for Judge Elliot to remain on that case, given the
irregularities of his "randomly" being assigned four of my criminal matters, failure to disclose conflict or recuse
himself in cv11-01955 and other matters detailed herein.

indicate, unsolicited contact with the adjudicatory or investigative entity often involves the judge in
impermissible lending of the prestige of office, whether intended or not. It is this appearance of impropriety
judges must strive to avoid.

I have recently been forced to make numerous trips to law libraries far away given the Washoe County Law
Librarie's contention (disputed by me at the meeting of the Board of Trustess of the WC Law Library when
the new law librarian's cv was detailed yearlier this year, wherein Judges Weller, Walker, and Steinheimmer
were present, along with Clerk of Court Orduna Hastings, wherein those Judges all deferred to the Washoe
County District Attorney's Office rather than address my contentions that the WCLL asserts to the public in
writing that the "westlaw contract" forbids certain things that the contract simply does not forbid, requiring
patrons to expend great amounts of money to print materials, resulting in collection of revenue by the Court

I have previously and will again here complaint in writing that Judge Steven Elliott has "randomly" (in accord
with our local rules) been assigned four of my criminal matters in a row (the appeals of the RMC conviction in
11 cr 22176 for petty larceny of a "candy bar and some cough crops" which I vehemently dispute and which
resulted in my current six month temporary suspension of my law license in 60838 (which the State Bar of
Nevada managed to get crammed into an unbifurcated hearing on 11/14/12 that also included something like
10 copied and pasted alleged violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct (none mentioning any direlection
of my duties to clients, other than Judge Nash Holmes alleging I violating my own duty of competency to
myself, etc. where I represented myself in a "simple traffic citation" trial on 2/27/12 (held in violation of NRS
178.405 and NRS 5.071 where Judge Nash Holmes knew of the competency issues, and where Judge Nash
Holmes continues to violate NRS 189.030 in refusing to process my Notice of Appeal of 3/7/12 and those
materials submitted thereafter

57 A.L.R. 545 (Originally published in 1928)
American Law Reports ALR The ALR databases are made current by the weekly addition of relevant new cases. Necessity that hearing be allowed before imposition of
punishment for contempt

The use of summary criminal contempt power is proper only for charges of misconduct, in open court, in the
presence of the judge, which disturbs the federal court's business, where all of the essential elements of the
misconduct are under the eye of the court, are actually observed by the court, and where immediate
punishment is essential to prevent demoralization of the court's authority before the public. 18 U.S.C.A. 401;
Fed.Rules Cr.Proc.Rule 42(b), 18 U.S.C.A. F.T.C. v. Trudeau, 606 F.3d 382 (7th Cir. 2010).

Judge Nash Holmes sentenced Coughlin to a summary 5 day incarceration for contempt on 2/27/12, signed in an Order stamped 2/28/12 in 11 TR 26800 that, combined with a
second bite at the apple Order of 3/12/12 in that case attempts to both convict coughlin of "the misdemeanor of criminal contempt" in a summary fashion, where there does not
seem to be any notice in writing to Coughlin onf the 3/12/12 continuation of the Trial and where Coughlin filed a Motion for Continuance of any future hearings and Notice of
Appeal on 3/7/12 that divested Judge Nash Holmes and the RMC of jurisdiction to even hold the 3/12/12 continuation of the Trial (and NRS 178.405, NRS 5.071 further
prohibited such a proceeding...and its really not at all clear how Judge Nash Holmes feels it is propert to file a grievance with the State Bar of Nevada against Coughlin on
3/14/12 on behalf of herself an all the other RMC Judges (even the Judges Pro Tem) (which Judge Dilworth vehemently disputes) including Second Judicial Judge L. Gardner's
brother, RMC Judge William Gardner (whom refused to recuse himself from the criminal trespass conviction Trial against Coughlin in 11 cr 26405, despite W. Gardner then
himself having a grievance against Coughlin in ng12-0434, and despite his being involved in the filing of the grievance against Coughlin in ng12-0435, which consists solely of his
sister's April 2009 Order sanctioning Coughlin $1,000 (despite Springgate failing to follow NRCP 11's 21 day safe harbor provisions...so basically Springgate and Judge Linda
Gardner (whose 2008 campaign contributions list Springgate as a donor and Judge Peter Breen, as well, whom removed Coughlin from the Mental Health Court in MH12-0032
for Coughlin takign a medication for ADHD/treatement resistent depression that Coughlin was specifically told was approved and not probibited prior to Coughlin entering into
the Mental Health Court contract, and reviewing the associated written materials provided by the MHC, Reno Biondo, est. whom subsequently fraudulently asserted Coughlin
was removed from the MHC for not following program rules (the alleged violation was that Coughlin was taking a medication that he had specifically been told was no prohibited
and that his use of was acceptable. Judge Breen's law clerk at one time was Judge Linda Gardner, who recused herself from a case wherein Coughlin represent Robert Bell in
Bell v. Greer, a case filed on 8/10/11, proving Coughlin was a commercial tenant practicing law at the 121 River Rock St. location from which Coughlin was summarily evicted,
in violation of NRS 40.253 (much less where Coughlin was required to deposit a $2,275 rent escrow deposit that violated Nevada law, in that no corollary to JCRLV 44 had
been published and approved by the N. S. Ct, in compliance with Nevada's JCRCP 83...) from his former law office, and subsequently subject to a custodial arrest and
prosecution for trespass, signed by opposing counsel Richard G. Hill (whom lied to the RPD about whether he had been at the office in the weeks prior, in an attempt to avoid
the requirement under the RPC that the lawyer, Hill, withdraw where the likelihood of his becoming a witness in the case was assured, where Hill told the RPD it was his client
Merliss who "noticed" things in the office in the week prior to the criminal trespass arrest, which was fraudulent anyways, as detailed in 61901 and 11 cr 22176, especially the
11/2/12 filing in that matter that the RMC did not included in the record transmitted on 11/29/12 in cr12-1262 (another 'random" assignement to Judge Elliot...whom failed to
disclose and recuse himself from Coughlin's wrongful termination suit against Washoe Legal Services (who admitted ot fiing Coughlin based solely upon Judge L. Gardner's April
2009 Order sanctioning Coughlin (which was impermissibly summary in nature anyways and failed to follow the 21 day safe harbor in NRCP 11 required under NRS 7.085) in
cv11-01955 even where Coughlin was suing for wrongful termination as a former domestic violence attorney at WLS, and also suing Committee to Aid Abused Women
(CAAW) where Judge Elliott was on CAAW's Executive Board, and started the Nevada Domestic Violence Task Force, and where a 25 year Washoe County District
Attorney turned RJC Judge (David Clifton) who was a longtime domestic violence prosecutor (working with now Judge Linda Gardner in the domestic violence unit of the
WCDA, to go along with their both being from Reno High School's Class of 1975, and WLS's Director Elcano admitting that Judge Linda Gardner and Master Edmondson has
given Coughlin "a thumb's up" review in February 2009...shortly before Coughlins' suspension and firing from WLS on 4/20/09...the day after Coughlin submitted a complaint in
writing to WLS and Elcano regarding the hostile work environment there...where Elcano and WLS fired Coughlin "solely" based upon Judge Gardner's April 2009 Order
sanctioning Coughlin for his work in the 3/12/09 and 3/17/09 divorce trial in Joshi, DV08-01168...never mind that Coughlin was encumbered preparing a Nevada Department of
Taxation 20 page appeal brief for Elcano by a 3/10/09 deadline to get Elcano and WLS out of the jam where the Lease Agreement for the property Elcano had just moved
WLS to required WLS, a non-profit 503(c) to pay the private landlord's property taxes...and where WLS management failed to timely respond to Coughlin's request for
subpoena fees and other discovery related expenses and where Coughlin emails to his then WLS assistant proves he had culled ALR support for the positions taken, vis a vis
Siragusa, that Judge Gardner had him fired over....Judge L. Gardner's 2008 campaign expense reports lists CAAW as well, in addition to WLS's Todd Torvinen, Esq., whom
specifically approved of the positions Coughlin took in that Joshi divorce Trial upon Coughlin following Elcano's direction to seek mentoring and guidance from Torvinen, whom
managed to get the lawsuit against him dismissed in 60302 and 60317 based upon weasley "legibility" arguments regarding the service of process, which the WCSO messed up
in 60302 where Coughlin was an IFP)

That under some circumstances, even where immediate summary contempt proceedings
would be appropriate, it might be necessary for the contemned trial judge to be disqualified
from sitting therein was recognized by the court in Krueger v State (1977, Fla App D3) 351
So 2d 47, in which it appeared that the appellate court's primary emphasis was on the lack of
objective evidence to support the trial judge's finding that a contempt had actually been committed
by a prosecuting attorney whose intent to appeal a prior ruling had been characterized
by the trial judge as not only frivolous but "absurd," and who replied to this characterization
merely by stating that the judge was entitled to his opinion

Judge Berry's Order in CR12-1018 seems to establish that the RMC had a duty to order the transcripts
prepared in 11 cr 22176 ("randomly" assigned to Judge Elliot in Department 10 in cr11-2064, where he
dismissed my appeal based upon not citing to a transcript that I attempted to have prepared by the "RMC
Official transcriptionist and the only person the RMC will release your audio transcripts to and whom can
prepare a transcript for you, Pam Longoni"...Ms. Longoni refused to prepare my transcript and hung up on me
twice in December 2011. Further RMC Judge Howard seems to have violated NRS.

So, the transcripts from the convictions in RMC 11 CR 22176 should have been ordered prepared by
RMC Judge Kenneth Howard, and his failure to prejudiced Coughlin in the appeal ("randomly" assigned to
Judge Elliott in Cr11-2064, dismissed by him citing to a civil statue about down payments on transcripts), and
in 11 TR 26800 (which the RMC and Judge Nash Holmes continue to violate NRS 189.030 in failing to
process Coughlin's notice of appeal of 3/7/12 etc. for. Additionally, Judge Elliott was "randomly" assigned
Coughlin's appeal of the criminal trespass conviction that RMC Judge W. Gardner failed to recuse himself
from in 11 cr 26405, in cr12-1262, and dismissed that case where, despite Coughlin showing proof of timely
receipt of his Notice of Appeal in compliance with NRS 189.010 by both the City Attorney and the RMC,
properly submitted for filign by Coughlin, RMC assistant Lisa Wagner is mum about why that Notice of
Appeal was not filed in by the RMC, as is Judge W. Gardner...Further RMC Donna Ballard is certifying
Orders from the Second Judicial District Court for SBN Bar Counsel Patrick King that she has no right to
certify. Further, King is fraudulently alleging to have certified copies of an admitting as exhibits in the
11/14/12 hearing against Coughlin in the SBN ng12-0204 of Judge Flanagan's 6/28/12 Order awarding against
his former co-worker at Hale Lane, Coughlin (Flanagan refused to recuse himself despite obvious conflicts set
out by Coughlin in cv11-03628) a preposterous $42,050 in attorney's fees, against a pro se tenant, whom Flanagan apparently ruled
a commercial tenant anyway whose rent was les sthan $1,000, though denied the NRS 118A.385 stay afforded such litigants.

SBN King similarly fraudulently asserted the April 2009 Order by Judge L. Gardner in dvb08-01168 was certified where he had it admitted as an exhibit (ordered admitted by
Panel Chair John Echeverria, who Judge Steven Elliott worked for Echeverria's father's law firm, Echeverria and Osborne, and where Chair Echeverria, Judge Elliott, and WLS's
Paul Elcano all went to Stanford University in the late 1960s together, something none of them disclosed until Coughlin pointed it out...and Elcano, Echeverria, Norman
Beesley and other Judges went to Reno High School together in 1962...along with other former co-workers of Coughlin from Hale Lane (Peek, Dennisson, Judge Charles
McGee, Judge Salcedo, whom Judge Sferrazza mentioned needing to meet with on the record in another retaliatory prosecution against Coughlin in RJC rcr2011-063341,
which, again, Judge Elliott was "randomly" assigned on 12/6/12, allegedly, in cr12-2025 (which Coughlin has not been provided a copy of the 800 page record on appeal,
which seems to involved Judge Sferrazza, in conjunction with the fraudulent conduct of public defendner Jim Leslie, "disenfecting" the record of Coughlin's 2/15/12 Pre-Trial
Motions and Coughlin 8/29/12 Memorandum of Law, etc. (Leslie has no ability to "refuse to join in on" such, especially where Leslie was not even attorney of record
untilsometime in August 2011 and where Coughlin filed a Notice of Appearance to represent himself while he was still a license attorney and to subsitute out the WCPD's
office or to at least downgrade their involvement to co-counsel in February 2012.)

Additionally, Coughlin has not received any such "Amended Notice of Appeal" in cr12-1262, despite receiving an email indicating one was filed from Eflex...Coughlin's elfex
is currently disabled for non-payment, and Coughlin hereby request his eflex charges be waived in light of his indigency and the misconduct and irregularities mentioned
above and previously by Coughlin.

Coughlin attempted to proved the testimony by RMC Judge Nash Holmes regarding the order of the bathroom break and Holme's other patently false and or incorrect
statements in her testimony on 11/14/12 at the formal disciplinary hearing...however Judge Elliott's former Stanford Classmate (whose father's law firm he worked for),
Chair Echeverria (who admits to be "boyhood chums" with fellow wine business owner WLS's Elcano, upon Coughlin prompting them to divulge further conflicts), Chair John
Echeverria refused to allow into evidence the audio transcript Coughlin bought from the RMC (well, Coughlin had to have his mother, Very Special Arts Nevada's Mary Barker
sneak down to the RMC and buy it becuase Coughlin's previous three or four attempts to buy it himself were met with obstuctionist tactics by the RMC) for $35, where Bar
Counsel King claimed it wasn't "certified" and the lack of a written transcript made it "worthless" and "devoid of context" (surely the tape could have shown that the sua
sponte interrogation by Judge Nash Holmes regarding her questioning Coughlin if he was "recording" or had a "recording device" occured AFTER the one and only restroom
break in theat 2/27/12 11 tr 26800 "simple traffic trial" and NRS 22.030(3) requirement for an Affidavit for any factual allegations to support a summary contempt order for
any conduct occuring in the "immediate presence" of the Judge would have been useful, as then RMC Marshal Harley could have maybe gotten his story straight (or Judge
Nash Holmes could have had some more "help" with her "memory" about what Harley "told" her to support Judge Holmes "finding" that Coughlin "probably lied" about such
matters in her 2/28/12 Order, and that Coughlin "lied" and therefore "violated the Rules of Professional Conduct" in her "second bite at the apple" Order of 3/12/12 (which
violated NRCP 59(a) in that such a sua sponte altering or amending of what was a "civil contempt" Order must be within 10 days of its entry...where Judge Nash Holmes cites
to plenary civil contempt statutes in her ORders (NRS 22.010 and NRS 22.100, curiously avoiding the summary civil contempt statute setting out the Affidavit requirment that
Judge Holmes, the RMC, and Marshal Harley benefitted from avoiding, found in NRS 22.030(3)...

Also, less than 48 hours after Richard G. Hill, Esq. had the RPD arrest Coughlin for jaywalking in RMC 12 CR 00696 (curiously "transferred" to Judge Nash Holmes by Judge W.
Gardner on 2/27/12, from RMC Dept. 1), the RPD again arrested Coughlin on 1/14/12 for "misuse of 911"...but that would be politically awkward for RJC Judge Clifton to
convict Coughlin of in rjc rcr2012-065630, plus, so much better leverage for the SBN (whom received emails from RJC Judicial Secretrary Lori Townsend containing Coughlin's
2/21/12 filign in that matter and where Townsend offered to send Coughlin's 2/15/12 filing in rcr2011-063341 to the SBN, unprompted...and the RJC and SBN are refusing to
prove that such transmission by the RJC were not unprompted. Further RMC Judge Kenneth Howard and RMC Administrator Cassandra Jackson have sent unprompted
correspondence to the SBN seeking to have an effect on Coughlin's formal disciplinary hearing, which is judicial misconduct.

Summary convictions for contempt, during criminal trial, that are unwarranted by the facts will not be invulnerable to appellate review. Codispoti v Pennsylvania, 418 US
506, 41 L Ed 2d 912, 94 S Ct 2687, conformed to (Pa) 328 A2d 484.
Denying misdemeanant contemnor an appeal and bail pending appeal, right to which all other misdemeanants were absolutely entitled under California law, violated
equal protection clause. Bell v Hongisto (DC Cal) 346 F Supp 1392.
Criminal contempt judgments are immediately appealable because they result from a separate and independent proceeding to vindicate the authority of the court and
are not a part of the original cause. 28 U.S.C.A. 1291. Cobell v. Norton, 334 F.3d 1128 (D.C. Cir. 2003).

33 A.L.R.3d 448
Appealability of contempt adjudication or conviction
Exercise by trial judge of his summary power to punish for contempt of court committed in his presence is subject to review on appeal. Re Lafferty, 28 Mich App 654, 185
NW2d 189.

RMC Judge Howard attempted to mislead Coughlin as to his right to appeal and seek review of the NRS 22.030 civil summary contempt Order he rendered against
Coughlin at the conclusion of the 11/30/12 Wal-Mart candy bar petty larceny trial in 11 cr 22176 (and now Chair Echeverria is trying to call that one "criminal contempt"
too...seeking to utilize Bar Counsel King's oft repeated, Claiborne ignoring claim, that SCR 111(5) makes and such "conviction" provide "conclusive proof of guilt" and thereby
vitiating and Claiborne duty upon Bar Counsel of the Panel to ascertain whether a fundamental lapse of due process occurred (or whether such a "conviction" was void for
lack of jurisdiction or not actually a crime anyways under Schaefer...

Further WCDA's Office David Watts-Vial may not seek to Quash Coughlin's subpoenas served upon Clerk of Court Hastings where Watts-Vial's relation works as a
Administrative Assistant to Judge Egan Walker.

In re Eriksson, 36 So. 3d 588 (Fla. 2010) (judge publicly reprimanded for revoking bond for defendant who
sought recusal, thereby punishing defendant for exercising legitimate legal right, and for employing unduly
rigid process in dealing with self-represented litigants, so as to impede their ability to obtain relief and
protection they sought from court).

6. What Contact with Investigative or Adjudicatory Bodies Is Permitted?
The case law and committee opinions advise that a judge may not initiate contact with an investigatory or
adjudicatory body determining rights, duties, privileges, or immunities of a person requesting that the judge
contact the body on his or her behalf. Opinion 75-6 (improper to write character letter for attorney who is
principal in disbarment proceeding); Opinion 75-18 (improper to write letter to bar grievance committee
or supreme court in disciplinary proceeding or to federal judge in criminal sentencing without official
request); Opinion 82-15 (improper to write letter voluntarily to Board of Bar Examiners); Opinion 89-15
(impermissible to appear before judicial nominating commission to introduce candidate or express opinion
about who is best qualified to serve as judge...See Judge Sferrazza's letter in 2007 on this and Judge Linda
Gardner's submitting numerous letters of recommendation from local judges:
http://www.washoecounty.us/large_files/agendas/071007/35.pdf page 101-104);

Judge Linda Gardner recused herself from Bell v. Greer admitting to a personal bias against Coughlin (maybe
stemming from the Mandamus Petition Coughlin file in 54844 agaisnt her, which WLS's Elcano claimed to be
unaware of in his improperly notice 11/14/12 testimony at Coughlin formal disciplinary hearing. Panel Chair
Echeverria did not care about SCR 105(2)(c)'s requirement that such a Designation of Witnesses and
Summary of Evidence be provided Coughlin "at least" 30 days prior to the 11/14/12 hearing where Bar
Counsel King (despite no "newly discovered" evidence justiying such, no argument by King in support of such
a stance, and have been aware of all that either Judge Beelsey or WLS's Elcano (whom both went to
McGeorge School of Law in 1977 with another witness that day, RMC's Judge Dorothy Nash Holmes, though
none of divulged that...Judge Beesley also worked with WLS's Karen Sabo at Beesley Peck, and attended at
2008 West Fourth St. Bistro WLS fundraising dinner, RMC Judge Howard is a 1980 graduate of McGeorge, as
is Panel member Stephen Kent, Esq., and Coughlin "court appointed defender" Keith Loomis in the RMC,
who received multiple ORders granting his Withdraw, is a 1982 McGeorge graduate and whom fraudulently
refused to assert the claim of right defense to the criminal trespass charge set out to him in 11 cr 26405, even
where Hill admits to having sent writings charging the same $900 per month that was charged for "full use and
occupancy" and where Washoe County Sheriff's Officer Liz Stuchell admitted in her 2/5/12 email to Coughlin
that the 11/7/12 Affidavit of Service by Deputy Machen was false in that no personal service was effect,
therby making Hill and the WCSO the trespasses, along with Casey D. Baker, Esq., especially where the
"within 24 hours of receipt" language of NRs 40.253(5) made both the 10/25/11 and 10/27/11 Orders in
rev2011-001708 void and or stale, especially where WCSO Roxy Silva brazenly brags about the stomping on
tenant's rights in open violation of such law where the WCSO knows it is too late and any such Lockout
ORder is stale. Oh, then there is the locksmith from the 11/1/11 lockout at Coughlin former law office
admitting that the lockout was effected outside the "within 24 hours" required in NRS 40.253 (not to mention
Sferrazza's Order fails to include that required language...which in no way amounted to a "trespass warning"
anyways).

In re Frank, 753 So. 2d 1228 (Fla. 2000) (retired appellate judge publicly reprimanded for actions while on
bench, including making false or misleading statements under oath concerning his involvement in divorce
litigation of his daughter; not recusing himself from appeals based on his friendship with attorney in those
appeals; improperly interfering with Bar grievance proceeding of that attorney; threatening to have son-in-law
arrested or committed to psychiatric facility during divorce proceedings involving his other daughter).

Then there is the matter of RJC Clifton on 2/27/12, "somehow" knowing that Judge Elliott would be
"randomly" assigned the case created by Judge Clifton's 2/27/12 Order for Competency Evaluation (the gross
misdemeanor of "misuse of emergency services (911)" case rcr2011-065630 necessitated the opening of a
District Court case, CR12-0376), where Judge Clifton specifically lists "Judge Elliott" in that 2/27/12 Order
and also list's the evaluator Couglin was required to utilized for the evaluation ("Lake's Crossing Bill Davis,
Ph.D....who just so happened to file and sign a fraudulent lie filled letter in that cr12-0376 case on 4/18/12
resulting in Coughlin being incarcerated from April 19th to April 26th, 2012, though Judge Elliott has failed to
put the "why" of it in writing in an sort of Order...and where DDA Young violated NRS 178.405 in moving for
Coughlin to "be remanded into custody" (as if asking a question about one's HIPAA rights or telling Bill Davis,
Ph.D. that Coughlin would need to "check his records" in response to one question justified such a remanding
into custody or was tantamount to "following all laws"...which DDA Young clearly does not follow all laws
himself given his horific attempts to coerce from Coughlin, in conjunction with RJC Judge Sferrazza and
"stand by counsel" WCPD Jim Leslie, Coughlin's Fifth Amendment rights on November 19th and 20th, 2012
in rcr2011-063341...see from 4:05 pm to 4:55 pm on 11/19/12 (at which time RJC Bailiff John Reyes
attempted to extort from Coughlin permission to for the RJC to keep (and probably search and or copy under
Diaz) Coughlin's laptops and other trial materials overnight while Coughlin was in custody, at a time when
Coughlin was handcuffed and in custody awaiting transport to the Washoe County Jail incident to Judge
Sferrazza finding Coughlin in contempt for "making arguement while testifying")

in coercing from Coughlin his Fifth Amendment and other rights (even more than Leslie is heard doing on the

Essentially, both Motions seek to set aside this Court's June 25, 2012 Order grantin
attorney's fees to Merliss. Having reviewed both of Coughlin's Motions and the relevant la
applicable to each one, this Court finds each Motion is devoid of any facts or legal argumen
sufficient to require or justify setting aside the attorney's fees award. And this is aside from th
myriad procedural and substantive deficiencies contained in each Motion.
Again, as was the case in Coughlin's attempt to set aside Merliss' s award of costs
Coughlin's Motions here attempt to re-litigate substantive issues this Court has already decided
or frivolous claims this Court has previously ignored. This Court has entered final judgment 0
the merits of Coughlin's underlying claim and awarded attorney's fees and costs to MerIiss. Thi
Court will not revisit those decisions here, particularly when Coughlin alleges nothing that woul
satisfy the requirements ofNRCP 59 or NRCP 60. Accordingly, Coughlin's Motion to Alter 0
12 Amend Order, or Pled in Alternatid [sic] Motion to Set Aside Attorney Fee Award and Molio
13 for Order Shortening Time and Notice of Appeal of A tty [sic] Fee Award of 6125112 and NRC
14 60(b)(4) Motion to Set Aside Attorney's Fees are DENIED.
15 In addition, Merliss requests this Court to sanction Coughlin for his repeated violations 0
16 the local rules of procedure. Merliss requests this Court to sanction Coughlin under WDCR 21
17 such that Merliss and his counsel need not oppose or reply to any further filings by Coughlin i
18 this case absent an Order to that effect from this Court.
19 Alongside the numerous procedural violations Coughlin has committed in filing hi
20 papers (ignoring page limits, missing deadlines, etc.), Merliss contends Coughlin's litigatio
21 tactics-including Coughlin's instant attempt to set aside the attorney's fees award-have bee
22 employed not to pursue arguments in good faith but to delay and harass him. Merliss contend
23 Coughlin's behavior has been not only abusive but costly, requiring Merliss to contest each an
24 every allegation Coughlin makes no matter how meritless. This Court agrees.
25 In addition to this Court's power under NRCP 11 to issue sanctions to deter abusiv
26 litigation practices and frivolous filings, "Nevada courts ... possess inherent powers of equit
27 and of control over the exercise of their jurisdiction." Jordan v. State De t. of Motor Vehicle
28 & Public Safety, 121 Nev. 44, 59, 110 P.3d 30,41 (2005), abrogated on other grounds by B
2
1 Stew, LLC v. City of North Las Vegas, 124 Nev. 224, 228, 181 P.3d 670, 672 (2008)
2 Coughlin's aberrant behavior has become, unfortunately, common in this case. His failure t
3 follow basic rules of practice and the absence in his numerous filings of any arguable basis eithe
4 in law or fact to support his various claims has led Merliss to needlessly incur costs tha
5 otherwise could have been avoided had Coughlin simply followed the rules. Consequently, thi
6 Court finds sanctions are appropriate under WDCR 21. Accordingly, this Court ORDE
7 Merliss and his counsel may but are not required to oppose or reply to any further filings b
8 Coughlin in this case absent an Order to that effect from this Court.
9 IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dear DDA Young,
I have some discovery for you to pick up if you like in both 065630 and 067980, please contact me to
arrange a time for your office to pick it up.
I believe there is an issue with the record on appeal in cr12-2025. I am not an efiler anymore, but you are.
You have been given access to the 804 page record on appeal via eflex whereas I have not. I realize the
RJC filing office may attempt to say "Zach, we gave you copies of everything, here and there, are the last
year.., that is why Clerk Tami just sent you a letter on December 10th, 2012 informing you the record had
been transmitted to the District Court (once again, randomly, to Judge Elliott, for the fourth straight
time...even more curious given the events of 2/27/12, considering that on that date, not only did the
clandestine status conference occur, where Judge Clifton entered an Order for Competency Evaluation in
065630, which somehow, at that time knew Judge Elliott was the randomly assigned judge to the case
(considering WDCD Rule 2(1):
Rule2.Or ganization of the cour t; chief judge; cour t administr ator .
Please email me that 804 page record on Appeal, if not for me, do it to help the RJC out. The RJC gave me
copies of various things, true, but it did not give me copies of my filings (typically just the file stamped
ocver pages, and my access to files has been curtailed, its been uncomfortable to go for me to go to the
filing office, all these restrictions have been placed upon my access to files, despite the fact that there
have been three separate prosecutions against me going on at the same time, etc., etc.
I need that 804 page record on appeal, and I believe I am entitle to a copy of it...not an assertion that I
have been given copies of this or that piece meal over the last year (regardless, there are things I have
not been given a copy of, and even if there wasn't, it is unfair to afford DDA Young a nice, bound or
collected 805 pages copy now. Further, I have not received the Index (I know what it lists only from going
and viewing the materials on the law libraries computers. This is simply inappropriate for the RJC to not
have mailed me such new court filings. Further, all this TPO this, Administrative Order that business is
creating an appearance of impropriety that is simply not worth the 805 pages (by the way, that's about 5
dollars worth of paper, and five minutes of time to feed into the document feeder in bunches...but DDA
Young could help the RJC out by just sending me the digital file that he has from his eflex account.
Regardless, I am sure you can imagine, I will be extremely critical of the failure of the RJC to provide me
the record on appeal, and even more critical of the failure to provide me the new filings in CR12-2025 (I
think it is titled the Supplemental...but it lists the various filings in the record (a number of mentions of
"miscellaneous filings" near the end, etc. Now the prejudice attendant to the failure of the RJC to mail
me these materials to which I am entitle is affecting my licensure issues. Its simply not worth the
liability to be petty about this.
Additionally, there is another issue with regard to the 2/15/12 filing. I was told, for a long time, by both
the civil division and the criminal division that fax filing was not permitted in the RJC (obviously, this
creates an appearance of favoritism where other attorneys/litigants/defendants were permitted to
(including Richard G. Hill, Esq). It is for that reason that the incident with RJC Bailiff Sexton occurred on
2/14/12 when I was locked out of the RJC and denied the opportunity to file a pre-trial motion (had I
been allowed to fax file at the time I would not have been speeding down to the RJC near closing time
trying to get a filing date, I would have just faxed it...it seems that I had printed out a number of various
iteration sof what I intended to file as a pre-trial motion(s)...and the one I took to court with me to file on
2/14/12 (and the one I emailed, see below, to DDA Young, Mr. Tuttle, and DPD Goodnight) is not the
version I wound up filing the next day at noon, in person. This was not intentional, but a product of the
chaos I was dealing with at the time (NV Energy refusing to allow me to put the power in my name,
getting two TPOs awarded to me against me then housemates in FV12-00187, etc.., etc., then the
eviction of 3/15/12 in RJC Rev2012-00374 (which begat a client punching a digital camera into my face and
breaking the view finder...a Mr. Eastman, a former WCSO Deputy, and former Bailiff for Judge Sferrazza,
whom the RJC just sent the remains of the $465 bail to after $175 worth of witness fees were subtracted
(despite the ruling waiving witness fees by Judge Sferrazza on 10/22/12 in 063341 at the 48 minute mark
of the second audio file)....Gayle Kern, Esq. managed to sneak a default summary eviction against me
through (despite an RPC that I am currently facing disciplinary charges regarding stating that doing so is
impermissible) in RJC Rev2012-000374 (at the start of the JAVS recording one can hear the RJC clerk
implore Judge Schroeder to go out of the order he intended to hear his docket, and hurry through a
default against Coughlin...which was done...which resulted in the WCSO Office conducted an eviction at
gunpoint after entering the residence/office without announcing themselves as law enforcement:
...which was my former 1422 E. 9th St. #2 address, where the 1/14/12 arrest for "misuse of 911" in 065630
took place, and which was were I rented from the two housemates whom the TPO's in FV12-00188 and
187 were directed in those 1/23/12 TPO by Master Edmondson ( a rare victory for me in a court room in
the last 18 months). In the recent discovery provided by DDA Young incident to his 12/5/12 email
That same 1422 E. 9th St. #2 location saw a hearing on the interruption of essential services on 2/23/12,
wherein Western Nevada Management's Sue King and a board member non-attorney where allowed to
appear on behalf of the corporation owner, Park Terrace Townhomes HOA, which is violative of NRCP 11's
dictate against a corporation appearing pro se, which is applciable via NRS 40.400:
http://youtu.be/ReVwxdojv7g Clearly, the record and testimony therein reveals that Coughlin was not a
squatter, and the the individuals he rented from, Laura Foreshee and Christopher "Erin" Allaback were
lawfully there, with the express consent of PTTHOA incident to former manager Robyn Batalado
receiving approval from the HOA Board. I was arguably a subtenant, though there is an argument that
Allaback, and perhaps Foreshee, were agents or employees of PTTHOA (there was testimony as to an
exchange of carpentry for rent or something similar). Regardless, it was completely inappropriate for the
Reno Police Department and Sargent Sifre to make the statements he did on 1/14/12 incident to the
arrest in RJC RCR2012-065630, wherein he indicates, some might say, some level of complicity between
the RJC and the RPD in terrorizing me:
http://youtu.be/lZ8uIWek6js
http://youtu.be/5_ZhEHsoj4o a video of WCSO Deputies Canizzaro and Durben effecting the default
summary eviction lockout Order he granted Gayle Kern, Esq. (Judge Linda Gardner's former associate,
where Coughlin filed a Mandamus Petition against Judge Linda Gardner in 54844) in RJC Rev2012-000374,
in an Order with a fax header of 8:24 am, for a hearing set for 8:30 am (Coughlin showed up in time to see
Gayle Kern, Esq. smirking at him smugly while she walked out of the courtroom as Coughlin was going in).
Less than five hours later the WCSO was letting itself in to Coughlin home law office, prejudicing his
client's representation at the hearing later that day before NVB Judge Beesley in Cadle company v.
Keller, 10-05104.
The fact that that audio recording was only provided to me incident to an email announcement as to its
availability from the WCDA on 12/5/12, augers for a mistrial, though the sad and unfortunate passing of
Ms. Beechler, of Ecomm does as well. I believe Ms. Beechler was a committed professional and my
prayers are with her family, may she rest in peace.

Sargent Sifre had just 48 hours ordered a trainee officer, Wesley Leedy, to effect a custodial arrest for
"jaywalking" upon me ($200 bail, money I couldn't spare), on 1/12/12 in RMC 11 CR 00696. At the same
time Coughlin was arrested for "jaywalking" (taken to Parr, strip search, booked, required to post $200
bail, the works), RJC Judge Schroeder was awarding opposing counsel in that summary eviction matter a
TPO in RJC RCP2012-000018, on 1/12/12 (with an extension hearing held on 1/31/12, at which Judge
Schroeder rebuked Coughlin's attempt to address Hill's abuse of process by asking Coughlin "do you want
to go to jail?".
For all the big talk by Hill with his cameras, and his contractor Phil Stewart of Nevada Building
Industries, whom had his own cameras, about the Yosemite Sam style cursin' and yellin' and
climbing up on the contractor's truck and stuff, here is the only video footage the City of Reno has
provided Coughlin from what it obtained from Hill and or his contractor:
http://youtu.be/0HfqXnGKMFA
However, Coughlin did capture the events of 1/12/12 on tape, that is, up until when the RPD Officers
Look and Leedy accosted him, and, without explanation, began manhandling him and taking away his
camera...then it was on to bending his wrists and arms behind his back in a painful manner (no hello, hi,
how are you, nothing, really pros): http://youtu.be/iw-3t1ScqqA
http://youtu.be/4w1sMO9EcVE
Judge Sferrazza allows the uanuthorized practice of eviction law by a property manager similar to what
Judge Pearson allowed Nevada Court Services to do in RJC Rev2012-001048.
Judge Linda Gardner previously worked for Gayle Kern, Esq. Judge Linda Gardner's April 2009 Order
sanctioning a domestic violence legal aid attorney resulted in his firing, and the following lawsuits:
Her brother, Reno Municipal Court Judge William Garnder, refused to recuse himself from the criminal
trespass prosecution of Coughlin incident to the custodial arrest at his former home law office in RMC 11
CR 26405, which, incidentally involved Lew Taitel, Esq. being appointed as Coughlin's defense counsel
despite Coughlin then suing Taitel's business partners incident to that very eviction, Nevada Court
Services and Jeff Chandler. Somehow, RMC Judicial Assistnat Lisa Gardner did not manage to file stamp
the Notice of Appeal Coughlin served on the City Attorney Hazlett-Stevens and submitted for filing with
the RMC on 6/28/12 shortly before Nevada Court Services, the Washoe County Sheriff's Office Deputy
Machen, and the Reno Police Department arrested Coughlin again in rcr2012-067980 (incident to the
wrongful eviction in rjc rev2012-001048) on 6/28/12, and then again in the 7/2/12 arrest by the RPD Officer
Alan Weaver and Sargent Dye in RMC 12 CR 12420 (where, on 7/5/12 court appointed RMC defender Keith
Loomis, Esq. conspired against Coughlin during the unnoticed bail increase hearing where, again, Judge
Gardner, raised Coughlin's bail 10 times the original amount, resulting in 20 days in jail for Coughlin,
during which a $40K attorney fee award by Judge Flanagn was issued, incident to, you guessed it, that
same summary eviction appeal cv11-03628. At the formal disciplinary hearing before the NNDB and State
Bar of Nevada on 11/14/12 wherein the SBN attempted to disbar Coughlin, the prejudice to Coughlin's
ability to appear in the NVB before Judge Beelsey incident to the wrongful eviction connected to this
matter (wherein Gayle Kern obtained a default summary eviction Order on 3/15/12 in RJC Rev2012-
000374 from RJC Judge Schroeder baring a fax hearder time stamp 6 minutes prior to the time Notice as
the start of the summary eviction proceeding...resulting in an eviction at gunpoint by the WCSO 5 hours
later (wherein the WCSO failed to identify themselves prior to breaking in at Park Terrace) causing
difficulties in Coughlin's appearance before NVB Judge Beesley at 2:30 pm on that day, 3/15/12 in
http://tinyurl.com/ad7ltzy and http://www.plainsite.org/flashlight/case.html?id=1867780
http://youtu.be/oU3t_kRR0RA Reno Police Department Sargent Paul Sifre arrests Reno Attorney for
misuse of 911 on 1/14/12 in RJC RCR2012-065630, just 48 hours after Sargent Sifre Order RPD Officers
Leedy and Look to arrest Coughlin for "jaywalking". So, RPD Sargent Sifre announces to Coughlin that he
ordered trainee Officer Leedy to arrest Coughlin for jaywalking because Coughlin had "placed himself in
that situation" where Coughlin was a victim,. and further, that that was the reason Coughlin was served
with the Richard G. Hill, Esq. TPO granted by Judge Schroeder. Next, RPD

Hello, I am emailing and faxing the document and one exhibit you will find herein as I was denied my
right to file it today. I presented to the court prior to 5pm today but was prevented from filing this
document (and today is the last day to file these pretrial motions absent receiving leave of court to do so
prior to the February 29th, 2012 Trial in Department 2 before Judge Sferrazza. Judge Sferrazza has, in the
past, expressed displeasure with regard to any attempt to file by email, and I do not wish to upset Judge
Sferrazza here, and accordingly am not copying him on this correspondence. However, I believe the
"excusable neglect"/"deprivation of rights under color of law" analysis may dictate that I promptly
attempt to make some record of my attempt to file and in that regard I am submitting this to you now.
Incidentally, I did call the criminal division RJC filing office today shortly before 5pm alerting them to my
imminent attempt to access justice and received confirmation that they would not close prior to 5pm.
HOwver, the doors of the court house were locked prior to 5pm. I have witness timers/clocks in the court
to be set approximately 5 minutes fast in that past. I attempted to ask a supervisor about this by alerting
Chief Deputy Sexton, and while he initially refused to get a supervisor, he then finally indicated he
would, however, no supervisor ever appeared. Chief Deputy Sexton, along with another Deputy has
sexually assaulted me in that past, and as such, of course, the was a very unusual and uncomfortable
situation.
Additionally, I had another landlord tenant hearing involving myself on Monday, 2/3/12. AS per JCRRT my
case was randomly assigned to Judge Lynch. However, just prior to my case being heard, Deputy Sexton
entered the court room, made some calls, and Judge Sferrazza appeared to hear my case. Judge Sferrazza
then proceeded to grant a property manage a license to practice law on behalf of Park Terrace
Homeowners Associations (PTHOA). I, of course, am very uncomfortable having the Deputy who sexually
assaulted me appear in the court room at all my appeances, as Deputy Sexton seems to do (in fact, he
glowered over me at the 12/21/12 Hearing on my Motion to Contest Personal Property lien) in such a
menacing fashion that I was unable to think clearly, much to the detriment of my case. Further, I am
uncomfortable at the appearance given off by the curious changing of the Judge assigned to my hearing
after Deputy Sexton entered the court room and made a few calls. It may be inappropriate to give off the
appearance that Deputy Sexton is able to control the assignment of Judges to certain cases rather than
having cases randomly assigned pursuant to JCRRT. I believe this filing and one exhibit you find herein
should be accorded a filing date for 2/14/12, as I was prevented from appropriately accessing justice, and
in that regard, I don't believe this is a request to "bend" the rules or allow a special exception, though I
do believe one is able to file a motion seeking such an exception for cause. Deputy SExton has sexually
assaulted me in the past in similar situations where I attempt to use all of the hours available to filing
accorded to any other member of the public.

Subject : damaged personal property


Please accept this correspondence as a request for a new G2 HTC smartphone, a new Samsung cell
phone, and a new 32GB micro sd card. The card has been rendered unusable and all the data then
existing on it at the time of its seizure has been removed. Please provide an indication of whether
that was done on purpose or not, in writing. Further, I believe I should be provided with
compensation for the cost of new phones as these are obviously rather suspect at this point.

Further, with local attorney Pam Willmore present a WCSO Deputy and Ms. Campbell indicated to me
that per Courts Orders I was to contact RMC Marshal Deighton. I did and he never responded in
any way. Please indicate why exactly I was told to so contact Marshal Deighton, and why that Deputy
told me, at that time, that the property had already been returned to the RMC Marshals because it
would just be easier to get it back to you that way (ie, having me retrieve the property from the
RMC Marshals versus retrieving it directly from the WCSO). Further, that Deputy admitted, with Ms.
Willmore present, that Ms. Cumming and Ms. Campbell were, in fact, incorrect, in their assertions
that the micro sd card had been returned the acquaintance of mine whom retrieved my keys while I
was incarcerated. Rather, that Deputy then admitted the micro sd card, in fact, was not returned at
that time. Of course, a 32 GB micro sd card was returned to me with Deputy Ivers present, however,
he and Ms. Beckman, Ms. Berryman, Deputy Cheung, and one other Deputy all scattered quickly after
I began opening the secured envelope, refusing to allow me to test the micro sd card in their
presence.

Dear Ms. Beckman,

A WCSO Deputy informed me that my property was being held in evidence,
including a flip phone style cell phone, and an HTC g2 smartphone in addition
to a micro sd memory card, and an electric shaved. He indicated the items
were booked into evidence on 2/27/12, then taken by the City of Reno
Marshal Division on 2/28/12. A WCSO Deputy also indicated these items in
evidence were release again to the City of Reno Marshal Division on 3/14/12
because "its just easier to get it back to you that way"....However, now it
appears once again your office has the property.

I would like a written response detailing the chain of custody of all the
property for all times since the arrest, and itemized listing of the property, and
an indication of when, if ever, I will be informed of why it is being held and
when, if ever, it will be returned to me, and and indication of what exactly has
been done with this property, including whether an viewing or copying of the
contents has been undertaken or will remain in anyone's possession other than
mine.

Subject : DAMAGED PERSONAL PROPERTY


Please accept this correspondence as a request for a new G2 HTC smartphone, a new Samsung cell
phone, and a new 32GB micro sd card. The card has been rendered unusable and all the data then
existing on it at the time of its seizure has been removed. Please provide an indication of whether
that was done on purpose or not, in writing. Further, I believe I should be provided with
compensation for the cost of new phones as these are obviously rather suspect at this point.

Further, with local attorney Pam Willmore present a WCSO Deputy and Ms. Campbell indicated to me
that per Courts Orders I was to contact RMC Marshal Deighton. I did and he never responded in
any way. Please indicate why exactly I was told to so contact Marshal Deighton, and why that Deputy
told me, at that time, that the property had already been returned to the RMC Marshals because it
would just be easier to get it back to you that way (ie, having me retrieve the property from the
RMC Marshals versus retrieving it directly from the WCSO). Further, that Deputy admitted, with Ms.
Willmore present, that Ms. Cumming and Ms. Campbell were, in fact, incorrect, in their assertions
that the micro sd card had been returned the acquaintance of mine whom retrieved my keys while I
was incarcerated. Rather, that Deputy then admitted the micro sd card, in fact, was not returned at
that time. Of course, a 32 GB micro sd card was returned to me with Deputy Ivers present, however,
he and Ms. Beckman, Ms. Berryman, Deputy Cheung, and one other Deputy all scattered quickly after
I began opening the secured envelope, refusing to allow me to test the micro sd card in their
presence.

Please forward this communication on to whomever processes requests for reimbursement of
damaged personal property.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Coughlin:

In reviewing the emails below as well as others generated with respect to the Holmes order, it
appears that the staff is trying to work with you to release your items in a timely manner. It is
my understanding that when you came to the detention facility on Friday, March 30, 2011, it
was after 5:00 p.m. Because the evidence custodian is open during regular business hours,
your request could not be processed at that time. I was informed that staff told you yesterday
that you could make arrangements to come pick up your items. I see no reason why there
should be any problems with this release as I am confident that all parties will treat each other
with the utmost professionalism and courtesy.

I did not receive copy of the Holmes order until Monday, April 2, 2012, when you sent it to
me via email at about 4:00 p.m. I have never requested that the items taken into evidence be
routed to the District Attorneys office, nor have I ever viewed them. I am unsure as to your
complaint about the District Attorney possessing your evidence.

Please be advised that your claims of unprofessional treatment on March 30, 2012 will be
reviewed. Have a nice evening.

Subject : please find order attached for return of my personal property

Dear Sheriff Haley and Deputy Washoe County District Attorney
Kandaras et al,
I am writing to respectfully submit these materials to you for your
consideration. Please find attached teh 3/30/12 Order Releasing
Personal Property by RMC Judge Nash Holmes.
I do not wish for my property to be passed around anymore to any other
agencies, including the District Attorney's Office. I want it released to
me, please. Judge Nash Holmes did not Order is released to me by way
of the District Attorney's Office. These materials included my electric
shave, a samsung flip phone cell phone, and an HTC G2 Smartphone, and
a 32 gb micro sd card. I suspect I am going to hear about how the micro
sd card has gone missing, or how is was previously released to so and so.
Your own personnel have already confirmed that it was not released to
anyone associated with me, despite Ms. Cummings, Debi Campbell, and
Trish Beckman's various inconsistent statements, especially in connection
with those made by the City of Reno Marshals.
Please let me know, in writing, what I need to do to get my property,
whose custody I must retrieve it from, any chain of custody for it in the
interim, and exactly what such property will include, including a written
indication from you whether or not it will include the 32gb micro sd
card, whether the card is free standing or placed within something,
whether the phones have batteries, whether the phone's contents have
been copied or otherwise examined, why exactly they were held, etc.,
etc.. If it is your position that the property to be returned does not
include a 32gb micro sd card, please explain that, including where such a
card supposedly went and when.
I am writing to complain about an incident on Friday wherein Deputy
Beatson threatened me with abuse of process, retaliation, malicious
prosecution, and where he attempted to extort me. Front desk Deputy
"Matty" was involved as well and bail counter personnel Jennifer and
Nadine were tangentially involved.
Nadine told me I should check with the front desk Deputy regarding the
return of my personal property. I did, checking with someone who
identified herself only as Matty. She indicated she would need to go to
a back room to retrieve a paper. When she returned she indicated
someone had informed her I would need to speak with Mary Kandaras. I
asked her who had informed her of this and Matty grew suddenly silent.
I indicated to Matty that it was fine, obviously, if she did not wish to
inform me of who it was she has received this message from, but that I
was asking her to confirm whether or not she was refusing to tell me as
much. Matty picked up the phone and called for help, seemingly solely
motivated by being asked such a simple question. I asked Matty if such
a question had made here uncomfortable? I asked here if it was okay if I
left? Matty indicated I was allowed to leave. Approximately 20 yards
outside of the building I hear Deputy Beatson call for me. He began
demanding my drivers license (laughing at the idea of Hiibel), telling me I
was being detained, indicating that he would fabricate an allegation of
my having "disturbed the police" such that he could arrest me then and
there and perform a search of my property. Deputy Beatson (who soon
was accompanied by approximately 9 armed Sheriff's Deputies, several
with cameras and recording equipment) further indicated that he didn't
want to see me around the Sheriff''s Office or that facility any more and
that I better stop asking questions and "being a problem" if I knew what
was "good" for me. He conduct was extremely abusive, retaliatory,
invasive, hostile, threatening, and all done under color of law for all 42
USC Sec 1983 purposes. I am requesting that a copy of this formal,
written complaint be placed in his employment/personnel file, and that
the same be done for "Matty". Deputy Beatson has harassed me in that
past at the detention facility. Numerous times I have, by Beatson, and
other Deputies, been retaliated against in hurtful and humiliating ways,
including for my failure to answer questions regarding my private
medical information and religious preference by both the booking staff
and other personnel, including "nurses" at the detention facility. I have
had excessive force used on me several times and have been video taped
while being subjected to a strip search. Deputies routinely refuse to
identify themselves by name when asked to do so, and this occurs
routinely in the context of seeking a name to attach to a complaint of
deputy misconduct, abuse of power, excessive force, retaliation, etc.
THIS IS A LITIGATION HOLD NOTICE INFORMING YOU OF THE NEED TO
MAINTAIN ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTATION AND OR RECORDINGS MADE
INCIDENT TO THE EVENTS OF FRIDAY AFTERNOON WHEREIN I
APPEARED, incident to a valid Court Order from RMC Judge Nash Holmes,
ordering the return of my personal property.
THIS IS ALSO A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST SEEKING A
COPY OF ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTATION RELATED TO ME IN ANY WAY,
INCLUDING ALL MEDIA, BE PROPOUNDED TO ME AS YOUR EARLIEST
CONVENIENCE.
FURTHER, THIS IS A COMPLAINT AGAINST Deputy Durbin and Deputy
Cannizzaro for their misconduct incident to the eviction of 3/15/12 at
1422 E. 9th St. #2, wherein they threatened abuse of process, retaliatory
arrest, etc.:

I do not wish to exacerbate this situation. I wish to move on with my
life. I went to high school with Deputy John Sarratea and law school with
Deputy District Attorney Chris Hicks and worked with Deputy District
Attorney Patricia Halstead while we were both at Hale Lane, now known
as Holland & Hart. I imagine all of these professionals would say that,
while I walk a bit to the beat of my own drum, that I am essentially a
harmless, honorable person who has never much liked seeing an abuse of
power but is capable of recognizing that law enforcement is not
conducted in a vacuum, and that the practicalities of enforcing the law
do not always lend themselves to complying with what they average
constitutional law professor might deem just...
I needed to get my phone. I am trying to run a solo law practice. Judge
Nash Holmes (who has been either a prosecutor or a prison warden or
administrator for nearly the entirety of her career) ordered both of my
cell phones seized and they were retained for over one month. Out here
in the private sector, that is a big deal, and a difficult obstacle to
overcome. The implications of such an order are all the more onerous for
one recently twice adjudged a victim of domestic violence, and even
more so for he who is a victim of law enforcement misconduct.

Dear Mr. Coughlin:

I have received your request to preserve video at Reno Justice Court. I am summarizing your request
as follows: On February 14, 2012, you sought to file a document shortly before 5:00 pm. However, you
state that the court house doors were locked prior to 5:00 p.m. on that day. You state that Court
Administration stated that the Sheriff was the custodian of records for this video.

I will attempt to discern who is the holder of this video. I am assuming that you want to see the
officers locking the front door or anything with you on it (although I do not know what you look like).

Please confirm that I am seeking the proper information. Also, if there is something else with respect
to video recording, please let me know so there wont be duplication of effort.

Dear Court Administrator Tuttle,

I feel that you have misunderstood my import. Please consider that you and others in
the court are only human, whereas Richard G. Hill, Esq. is clearly a lycan, who has also
somehow managed to fashion himself and his brethren into a sophisticated
commercial law firm capable of distorting reality in ways not commonly seen absent
the administration of extremely potent psychotropic drugs. There were no "assertions
regarding "Judges Sferrazza, Clifton and the Court's integrity" in anything I wrote you.
There is a difference between an "appearance" and a "reality", however, I think you
will find that "appearances of impropriety" are given considerable attention in the
Rules of Professional Responsibility, the Code of Judicial Conduct, and the Model
Code of Conduct for Judicial Employees in the State of Nevada.

Further, I think you will find that, contrary to your retaliatory assertions, my duty to
my client includes making a reasonably diligent effort to attempt to access justice,
and any subsequent excusable neglect analysis may, in fact, call for making an
attempt to inquire with court personnel or Sheriff's Deputies in an attempt to address
my concerns vis a vis the doors locking. While you indicate the videos are the
property of the Sheriff (quite a bit of power for the Sheriff alone to own those videos)
you do not make clear how it is that you are able to review them, while at the same
time, seemingly disclaiming any liability for the negligent hiring, training, or supervision
of the various Deputies you supervise and or work with at the RJC, especially, vis a vis
their propensity to tell litigants that they will have objects forcibly inserted into their
anuses should such litigants in any way question the cold, hard, authority of these
Sheriff's Deputie's jackboot.

What is not clear is why Judge Clifton would handle all the other cases on the stacked
docket of 2/13/12, beginning at 8:30, but then, after Chief Bailiff Sexton came into
the Court Room with Bailiff Reyes (whom I have been forced to file for a Protection
Order against just recently) and made some phone calls, Judge Sferrazza replaced
Judge Clifton. Further, while Judge Sferrazza explained the non-appearance of Judge
Lynch by indicating that Judge Lynch was instead scheduled to do traffic court that
day, Chief Civil Clerk Stancil indicated today that, in fact, Judge Lynch was hearing
matters on a criminal calendar.'

Regardless, I certainly have not impugned the credibility of any of the fine judges of
the RJC. However, your jumping to being "insulted" and failing to ask me anything
about these incidents involving threats to insert objects inside of my anus leaves a bit
to be desired, in my humble opinion, from the perspective of a member of the public
appearing in your court as a litigant.

You wrote: "You were not denied by this Court your right to file these documents
yesterday. You were, however, denied by Washoe County Sheriff Court Security
Unit access to the building after closing time; the same as anyone else would be
denied. You were not here before 5:00pm and trying to gain access into the facility by
coming through an exit only door is not permissible."

I don't agree with your assessment, but I apologize for the annoyance this seems to
have caused. I hope you will consider that the date on which this occurred was the
last day to file a pre-trial motion (under NRS 174.125, such motions, including a
"motion to suppress" the fruits of an unlawful search by law enforcement) in a matter
for which I am a criminal defendant, and for which a conviction could result in me
being disbarred as an attorney, in addition to fairly substantial criminal penalties,
including incarceration. There are a lot of things that can go wrong on the way to an
innocent man being convicted of a crime. One key area involves the failure to
preserve for appeal important issues. Such were the content of the documents I
sought to filed on February 14th, 2012. Additionally, only yesterday was I finally
informed by the RJC, criminal division, that I may file by fax. I have previously been
told that I may not file by fax. Further, today Ms. Stancil, Chief Civil Clerk, informed
me that I may also file by fax in the Civil Division. I am quite certain I have requested
permission to do this before in both the civil and criminal divisions and have been told
I may not every single time. This relates to your recent commentary on "favoritism"
and applying the rules evenly to all litigants. I am sure I have heretofore been
disallowed from filing by fax. Indeed, I have spent countless hours of my time
travelling out of my way, down to the Reno Justice Court, to file each and every
document that I have filed in the few cases I have had in your court (and most any
lawyer will tell you that their "time" is the only thing a lawyer is much able to sell to
anyone for the purpose of making a living, something which, I assure, has been an
enormous struggle for me this past few years). You are aware of just how enormous
the file is in RJC Rev2011-001708. I guess some would say that is my fault, though I
would counter that the law is rather clear that NRS 40.253's summary eviction
proceedings are forbidden against commercial tenants where the non payment of
rent is neither alleged nor Notice of such is posted or served, as here.

Mr. Tuttle, you know as well as I do that there is a turnstile that only turns one way
that would obviously present any such attempt to gain access. Further, the door you
are referring to is not marked "exit only", and your assertions that I was "trying to
gain access to the facility" is so transparent that it is disturbing considering your
position with the court. I clearly knocked on the window and waived to Deputies in an
attempt to ask them my questions. Surely, the video you reference easily show this.
Additionally, you do not mention exactly what time "after 5 pm" the video showed,
and I find that curious. Further, you do not mention any system in place to assure that
the time stamping on the video is in accord with the official United States time at
www.time.gov. Indeed, the RJC or the Sheriff are not the only one's in the this world
with cameras and clocks, and it might be very interesting to see a documentary of
several days worth of footage of just when exactly the doors lock, synced to a visual
time stamping verified to be accurate vis a vis www.time.gov. If such a video did exist,
you don't sound like you would be too interested in seeing it. Please correct me if I
am wrong.
You further wrote: "Because your actions could be consider trespassing is the reason
why Reno Justice Court Chief Bailiff Michael Sexton again asked you to leave. Fair and
equal access to justice applies not only to discrimination, but also to favoritism.
Allowing one party to file documents after a deadline is unethical and without
question unfair." Your interpretation of the crime of "trespassing" is interesting. I
guess, under your approach, Richard G. Hill, Esq. would be guilty of trespassing where,
at the 12/20/11 Hearin on Tenant's Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien, after
the Tenant invoked the Rule of Exclusion, and Judge Sferrazza ordered Hill and other
prospective witnesses to leave the court room, where Hill surreptiously snuck back in
the court room, found time during a recess to announce to myself Bailiff Reyes and
Chief Bailiff Sexton that Hill too would like to "put his boot up Coughlin's ass", and
then manage to sneak back into the court room during the proceeding, and have
Bailiff Sexton pass post-it notes from behind the Bar to a struggling Casey Baker, Esq.,
whom was attempting to apply and unlawful rent distraint under the guise of
"reasonable storage" expenses.

At $30 a day for "reasonable storage" expenses, Judge Sferrrazza's Order was more in
line with what one gets in a room at the Sand's for a day, complete with the full use
and occupancy of the room, heat, plubming, light, and premium cable television, and
wi-fi access. $30.00 a day for "reasonable storage" of that which could fit in a 10 by
30 foot storage shed (which typically cost $125 per month, or about 1/8th of what
Judge Sferrazza ruled would be a reasonable daily storage charge, in the great Reno
area). This $30.00 a day storage charge is made all the more questionable by the fact
that the locations where all these items were being "stored" (and for which a bill for
$1,060 to "secure" this "storage" was filed with the RJC) was actually burglarized on
December 12th, 2011, while under Hill and Baker control, and many valuable were
stolen, though neither Hill nor Baker ever provided anything close to a reasonable
detailed inventory of what was there prior to the burglary and what remained after
the burglary. The did manage to notice that a 62 inch Television was missing, though.

I agree with your assessment that it would be unethical and without question unfair
for the criminal division filing office to ask a "red headed step child" litigant "who is
calling" on the phone when they inquire with court personnel as to whether the court
will, in fact, remain open, all the way up to the posted 5pm closing time, and then for
the door's to the court to, ever so curiously, be locked prior to 5 pm when said
redhead presents to access justice, and even more so where a court administrator
and Chief Bailiff then arrange a version of the facts to explain away their actions and
decisions, replete with menacing allusions to retaliatory prosecution, etc., etc. You
are right about that, Sir.

You further wrote "Informing Chief Bailiff Sexton of your intention to wait outside for
Reno Justice Court employees to leave so you could force them to take your filings is
a form of harassment and needs to stop immediately. If this aggressive behavior
continues, the Court will consider a protective order against you, which will result in
your ability or privilege to access Reno Justice Court." Well, it does seem somewhat
untoward that you are now threatening to file a protective order merely because a
litigant asked to speak with a supervisor regarding the court's doors locking prior to 5
pm. This is particularly troublesome where you make accusations of such a litigant
engaging in "aggressive behavior" when, in fact, it is your own Chief Bailiff Sexton and
Bailiff Reyes who have both engaged in bullying behavior towards litigants, replete
with the ever so professional threats to forcibly insert objects into a litigants anus,
and other menacing commentary related to a litigants "ass", particularly where such
commentary occurred while said litigant was attempting to access justice in the most
basic way (by presenting documents to be filed with the filing office, during hours for
which the court holds itself out as open for business).

You further wrote: "In addition, I have looked into your assertions of sexual assault by
the Reno Justice Court Bailiffs and found these allegations to be without merit."
However, in your "looking into" these "assertions of sexual assault" you have neither
met with me nor interviewed me or otherwise conducted anything close to a
reasonably diligent inquiry, something which you may have a duty to perform with
respect to any negligent hiring, training, or supervision claim or other 42 USC Sec 1983
claim a member, or a class of members of the public may have. But you seem to
suggest that you do not bare any responsibility for the actions of the WCSO Court
Security Unit's actions. However, if that is the case, one must wonder why you would
have "looked into your assertions of sexual assault by the Reno Justice Court Bailiff's"
or why you refer to said Bailiff's alternatively as "Reno Justice Court Bailiffs", while
elsewhere using the designation Washoe County Sheriff Court Security Unit.

You went on to write in another recent correspondence: "1) The locking of the front
doors to the Courthouse is the responsibility of the Sheriffs Office, so all your
questions regarding this issue will need to be directed to them. However, I will state
that the surveillance videos, which are dated and time stamped, clearly shows that
you were here after 5:00pm on 2/14/2012." Well, the videos may technically show I
was "here after 5 pm", but it is curious you do not write that the videos show that I
"did not arrive until after 5 pm"...or otherwise get very specific.

Please be aware that this correspondence places you on a LITIGATION HOLD NOTICE
with respect to any and all recordings made in conjunction with this matter, and
further, with regard to any recordings made concerning me whatsoever. PLEASE
PROVIDE ME WITH A COPY OF THE VIDEO YOU REFERENCE, COMPLETE WITH THE
TIME STAMPING AND A WRITTEN ATTESTATION AS TO THE PRACTICE IN PLACE TO
ASSURE THE ACCURACY OF THE TIMESTAMPING.

You go on to write: "3) I am not sure what your question is regarding your 11/16/11
filing - Motion to Contest Personal Property." By all means, let me elucidate this
matter for you more clearly. Please see the attached 1/5/12 Reply to Opposition in
the appeal from this matter, in CV11-03628 wherein the RJC's liability for failing to
appropriately carry out the dictates of black letter Nevada law found in NRS
40.253(7)-(8) is quite clearly pronounced. Further, I was never provided or served a
copy of (until the filing of the Record on Appeal, well after the 12/15 and 12/17/11
entries in the docket, which preceded the 12/20/11 Hearing on Tenant's Motion to
Contest Personal Property Lien) the two statements the RJC seemingly order Deputy
Clerk Jocelyn Jonas and Chief Civil Clerk Karen Stancil to place in the file in RJC
REV2011-001708.

In that Reply, in page 7 of 24, one' finds the following: 4. Funny thing about the Reno Justice
Court: when it comes to setting a hearing within 10 days of my filing Motion to Contest Personal
Property Lien on November 16th, 2011, the RJC is all "oh, we needed your permission, Mr. Coughlin,
to set such a hearing, its your fault that we couldn't get it on within the 10 days required by statute
under NRS 40.253(7-8); however, when Coughlin went in to file something on November 3, 2011 at
4:58pm, RJC filing office Chief Clerk Karen Stancil didn't need no permission to serve personally on
Coughlin Notice of a Hearing to take place on Monday, November 7, 2011. Well, actually,
allegathetically, another clerk (Deputy Clerk Christine Erickson) had to sneak that Notice of the
Hearing on November 7, 2011 into a stack of papers she slipped Coughlin when she was pretending to
be helpful for a change, rather than sullen, and overly opinionated for someone who cares so little of
the import of the Whitman, Donoho, Byrant, and Sullivan decisions of the Nevada Supreme Court
with respect to court employees legislating from the filing office desk and refusing to accept filings
because they just aren't feeling it that day.... You see, somebody at the RJC figured out that it
probably was not legal to hold on to Coughlin last $2,275 on earth if it was not granting him a stay
(especially where NRS 40.385 entitles Coughlin to one, for his posting a bond as little as $250 (instead
the RJC kept Coughlin's $2,275, and if you believe Hill, did not grant a stay) as, in Judge Sferrazza's
words, that would be "conversion". So, how again is it Mr. Hill's outrageous allegations of Coughlin
living here or there during this or that period (something which Hill never bothers to support with
anything other than his own bluster, hot air, and conjecture, and apparent willingness to to incur
NRCP Rule 11 sanctions if it means milking a willful neurosurgeon good and dry in the process) are
reasonably based in fact or law and therefore not worthy of NRCP 11 sanctions?

Regardless, the RJC did set a Hearing on Tenant's Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien, and
Tenant did show up for it, in face, he checked in with Chief Bailiff Sexton prior to that Hearing, which
was set for November 22, 2011. However, Tenant was the only one who showed up. Should that not
yield a default victory?

However, more troubling is the RJC's conduct in forcing two of its filing office personnel to sign
unsworned "statements", one month after some alleged conversation incident to a litigants visit to
the filing office, and further, where Deputy Clerk Jocelyn Jonas was called to testify by Judge
Sferrazza, would conducted a leading examination of the Court's witness, in a matter where the Court
was not even a party. Most troubling of all, however, it the fact that Ms. Jones, on cross-examination
had to admit matters that show here statement of December 15th, 2011 to be misleading, at best, and
wholly deficient in fulfilling the RJC's duty to maintain an appearance of impartiality towards all
litigants. It is simply impermissible for the RJC to have Ms. Jonas sign and unsworn "statement" (truly
a new one to me, being neither a notarized Affidavit, nor a Declaration made under "penalty of
perjury" in lieu of an Affidavit. However, when Ms. Jonas did get sworn in at the 12/20/11 Hearing, a
few unpleasant truths emerged. One, Ms. Jonas was forced to admit that she did recall having a
discussion with Tenant Coughlin in RJC REV2011-001708 about the requirement that the RJC comply
with NRS 40.253(8) which reads:

"NRS 40.253(8): Upon the filing of a motion pursuant to subsection 7, the court shall
schedule a hearing on the motion. The hearing must be held within 10 days after
the filing of the motion. The court shall affix the date of the hearing to the motion
and order a copy served upon the landlord by the sheriff, constable or other
process server. At the hearing, the court may:
(a) Determine the costs, if any, claimed by the landlord pursuant to NRS 118A.460
or 118C.230 and any accumulating daily costs; and
(b) Order the release of the tenants property upon the payment of the charges
determined to be due or if no charges are determined to be due.
One thing you may notice about the jurisdiction granted to the Court, above, in NRS 40.253(8), is that
there is decidedly not any language allowing for an Order "Resolving" Motion to Contest Personal
Property Lien like that Judge Sferrazza entered on 12/21/11, and for which the RJC filing office has
refused to allow me to file a Notice of Appeal for, and has further refused to even mark as "received"
my attempts at so filing Such a Notice Appeal and Motion to Proceed on Appeal In Forma Pauperis (to
the extent that would even be necessary considering the previous IFP status given the Tenant in that
matter, RJC REV201-001708). That 12/21/11 Order is included following this corrspondence.

Coughlin is also the Defendant in this criminal matter, which is also before Judge Sferrazza, RCR11-
063341....Judge Sferrazza is now seemingly being placed onto another landlord tenant matter where
Coughlin is a named party, despite JCRRT 2 calling for a random assignment of cases (Judge Lynch was
randomly assigned to the case originally, RJC2012-074408, Coughlin v. Park Terrace HOA, and, also,
Judge Sferrazza is now set to also take jurisdiction over the unlawful detainer matter that shall soon
be filed upon Coughlin filing a Tenant's Affidavit upon the proper service of a 5 day Unlawful
Detainer Notice to Quit). This is not about impugning Judge Sferrazza as a jurist. Its about criticizing
and seeking redress for the appearance of impropriety created where WCSO Bailiff's engage in
conduct that is impermissible (threatening to forcibly insert objects up a litigants anus) and then
create an unduly suspicious appearance of "judge shopping by Bailiff" (Why these Bailiff's seem to
want to insult an esteemed jurist like Judge Sferrazza, one who has an extraordinary depth and
breadth of experience throughout all three branches of government in Washoe County, is puzzling
and unfortunate). It would not take much for these Bailiff's to gather an opinion on which judges
have which approach on landlord tenant matters. It would be impermissible to allow Bailiff's go
grudge based judge shopping to retaliate against litigants asserting their consitutional rights, as
Coughlin clearly does, much to their totalitarian dismay. Judge Sferrazza has an approach to landlord
tenants matters that is his own, as all judges invariably will. That does not make him and impartial
arbiter or imply any impropriety. However, to allow RJC Bailiff's to "gerrymander" what is supposed
to be a random assigning of cases, would clearly be impermissible. Even if that is not what is
occurring here, a reasonable person could concluded that the appearance of such is evident. This is
particularly true where Judge Clifton was on the bench and heard every other case set for the 8:30
stacked docket in court room "B" on 2/13/12. Mr. Tuttle did not get where he is by being foolish or
dim. He must work day in day out with these Bailiffs. Mr. Coughlin is but a minor occasional
litigant/attorney in the Reno Justice Court. Reasonable minds may feel it would be foolish for Mr.
Tuttle to take any action which would appear to undermine his belief in the reasonableness and
justness of these Bailiff's actions, particularly where these brave men are called to perform the
heroic in truly dangerous circumstances at times. That is where rules get to be the "bad guy" rather
than judges or administrators. JCRRT 2 is the bad guy here, and it is only appropriate for Judge Lynch
to hear both this new Complaint for Unlawful Interruption of Essential Services, in addition to any
Summary Eviction and or Unlawful Detainer matter that may arise between those parties and within a
common nexus of circumstances and facts.

Subject : cases being randomly assigned in RJC FW: attempt to file prior to 5pm denied

Dear Mr. Tuttle,
Would you please confirm that the clocks in the court are
accurate, and indicate how the doors are locked, and how
they were locked yesterday. It is my position that I was
there prior to 5 pm, further the appearance given by the
fact that the person I spoke with on the telephone from the
criminal division filing office (she made sure to ask for my
name, as though that would affect the content of her
answer to my questions-contrary to your a
ssertions, I am seeking no special privilege, but rather,
seeking to avoid any special prej udice) made sure to ask
my name, and it was provided is troubling when viewed in
conj unction with the events before my 2/ 13/ 11 Hearing in
the RJC in Coughlin V. Park Terrace Townhomes HOA. As
you know, JCRRT Rule 2 requires cases be assigned
randomly. However, though Judge Lynch was assigned to
hear my Complaint for Interruption of Essential Services,
shortly before the hearing, the court room was popuplate
by two different Deputies who have both made menacing
statements to me involving my "ass", one of which involved
forcible putting an obj ect up my "ass". Chief Deputy
Sexton entered the court room and made a few calls, and
he is one of the two Deputies to which I refer when
mentioning this "ass" situation. Next thing I know, Judge
Sferrazza is hearing the case, and now I am told Judge
Sferrazza is "attached" to the case instead of Judge Lynch.
While hearing the case, before it was continued, Judge
Sferrazza apparently granted a license to practice law to a
property manager on behalf of another named party, the
Park Terrace Townhomes HOA. I feel this case should be
heard by Judge Lynch. This is not a statement against
Judge Sferrazza, it is a statement with respect to the
appearance created by the above facts. This, combined
with the unexplained October 19th, 2011 fax to Judge
Clifton seeking an ex parte Order allowing inspection of my
law office by Casey Baker, Esq. of the Law Offices of
Richard G. HIll, Esq., despite Judge Clifton not being Chief
Judge at that time in consideration of JCRCP 84.

Dear Mr. Tuttle,
Your correspondence contains numerous inaccuracies that I am

response though. Can you confirm that the clocks in your court
are correct? Deputy Sexton agreed to get a supervisor and it was
agreed I would wait outside to speak to one. You, of course, have
been informed numerous times previously of WCSO Court Security
efforts to deny the access to justice prior to the 5pm closing
time. I am still waiting for some response from you regarding the
various statements concerning my "ass" by those you have some
supervisory position over. Further, can you please indicate why I
was, apparently, provided some demand whereby I would
perform the duty placed upon the WCSO incident to my 11/16/11
filing of a Motion to Contest Personal Property Lien vis a vis the
service and scheduling dictates found in NRS 40.253(7)-(8),

Mr. Coughlin:

The documents that you emailed and faxed to Reno Justice Court at 6:40pm on February 14, 2012
were filed stamp with todays date (February 15, 2012) and placed in the file for the Judges review.
It will be noted that these documents were received by the Court after normal business hours on
February 14, 2012.

You were not denied by this Court your right to file these documents yesterday. You were, however,
denied by Washoe County Sherriff Court Security Unit access to the building after closing time; the
same as anyone else would be denied. You were not here before 5:00pm and trying to gain access
into the facility by coming through an exit only door is not permissible. Because your actions could
be consider trespassing is the reason why Reno Justice Court Chief Bailiff Michael Sexton again asked
you to leave. Fair and equal access to justice applies not only to discrimination, but also to
favoritism. Allowing one party to file documents after a deadline is unethical and without question
unfair.

Informing Chief Bailiff Sexton of your intention to wait outside for Reno Justice Court employees to
leave so you could force them to take your filings is a form of harassment and needs to stop
immediately. If this aggressive behavior continues, the Court will consider a protective order against
you, which will result in your ability or privilege to access Reno Justice Court.

In addition, I have looked into your assertions of sexual assault by the Reno Justice Court Bailiffs and
found these allegations to be without merit.

Lastly, your practice of filing hundreds of documents on multiple cases and then repeatedly asking
for copies of the case files free of charge will no longer be granted by the Court. Reno Justice
Court will provide you one free copy of your original case files and one free copy of any future filings
, but you will be charged appropriately for all additional copies.

Subject : attempt to file prior to 5pm denied

Hello, I am emailing and faxing the document and one exhibit you will find herein as I was denied my right to
file it today. I presented to the court prior to 5pm today but was prevented from filing this document (and
today is the last day to file these pretrial motions absent receiving leave of court to do so prior to the
February 29th, 2012 Trial in Department 2 before Judge Sferrazza. Judge Sferrazza has, in the past,
expressed displeasure with regard to any attempt to file by email, and I do not wish to upset Judge Sferrazza
here, and accordingly am not copying him on this correspondence. However, I believe the "excusable
neglect"/"deprivation of rights under color of law" analysis may dictate that I promptly attempt to make some
record of my attempt to file and in that regard I am submitting this to you now.
Incidentally, I did call the criminal division RJC filing office today shortly before 5pm alerting them to my
imminent attempt to access justice and received confirmation that they would not close prior to 5pm.
HOwver, the doors of the court house were locked prior to 5pm. I have witness timers/clocks in the court to
be set approximately 5 minutes fast in that past. I attempted to ask a supervisor about this by alerting Chief
Deputy Sexton, and while he initially refused to get a supervisor, he then finally indicated he would, however,
no supervisor ever appeared. Chief Deputy Sexton, along with another Deputy has sexually assaulted me in
that past, and as such, of course, the was a very unusual and uncomfortable situation.
Additionally, I had another landlord tenant hearing involving myself on Monday, 2/3/12. AS per JCRRT my
case was randomly assigned to Judge Lynch. However, just prior to my case being heard, Deputy Sexton
entered the court room, made some calls, and Judge Sferrazza appeared to hear my case. Judge Sferrazza
then proceeded to grant a property manage a license to practice law on behalf of Park Terrace Homeowners
Associations (PTHOA). I, of course, am very uncomfortable having the Deputy who sexually assaulted me
appear in the court room at all my appeances, as Deputy Sexton seems to do (in fact, he glowered over me
at the 12/21/12 Hearing on my Motion to Contest Personal Property lien) in such a menacing fashion that I
was unable to think clearly, much to the detriment of my case. Further, I am uncomfortable at the
appearance given off by the curious changing of the Judge assigned to my hearing after Deputy Sexton
entered the court room and made a few calls. It may be inappropriate to give off the appearance that
Deputy Sexton is able to control the assignment of Judges to certain cases rather than having cases
randomly assigned pursuant to JCRRT. I believe this filing and one exhibit you find herein should be
accorded a filing date for 2/14/12, as I was prevented from appropriately accessing justice, and in that
regard, I don't believe this is a request to "bend" the rules or allow a special exception, though I do believe
one is able to file a motion seeking such an exception for cause. Deputy SExton has sexually assaulted me in
the past in similar situations where I attempt to use all of the hours available to filing accorded to any other
member of the public.

I don't think things are near that point yet...) by contacting anyone outside of DDA
Kandaras, if that is required. However, I could really use some help interpreting the
Affidavits of Service the WCSO filed on 11/22/11 in cv11-01896 and cv11-
01955...differnt dupties/process servers served different things and they each seem
to employe their own shorthand to indicate what they served, whether it was an
original or a copy (?, maybe reading an original Summons requirement into NRCP 4?),
etc., etc., the use of semi-colons, commas, colons, and the word "copy" seem
somewhat inconsistent in the notation and any translating you could do would really
help.

Hello, I am writing to report that there are some issues with the Affidavits of Service
in CV11-01896 and CV11-01955. My cases have been dismissed. Lost. Gone. Kaput.

Please find attached the 11/22/11 filing of some Affidavits of Service by the WCSO in
CV11-01955 (the case that did not have an IFP Order, but for which my "service
instructions" which I faxed, hand delivered, and emailed to your office and various
personnel indicated was nearly an identical case as CV11-01896, for which the Order
Granting the IFP was provided to your office-yet for which only 2 people had
Affidavits of Services, for (frown)).

So, unless something can be done (like your office filling out an affidavit or something
for me taking some blame and getting the Dismissal Orders Set Aside, then, like I
promised you, I will have to sue you and your office, which I don't want to do, in all
honesty.

It almost comes across as though someone at the WCSO thought it would be cute to
file most of the Affidavits of Service in one case only, combining them in most cases
under CV11-01955 (that is the Affidavits of Service in that case also refer to serving
the Summons and Complaint in CV11-01896. Maybe if the Sheriff's Office was less
busy making me wear a green dress and video taping me while they strip my clothes
off using force or threat of force, or less busy jamming taser needles in my spine for
extended periods of time, or using excessive force to badly injure my wrists, neck,
back, and knee, in addition to causing several burns on my forearm, then the WCSO
could focus a little more on properly effectuating service of process.

I don't mean to be a jerk, I am under inordinate stress right now (not that that is anybody's problem but
mine). The citation below would tend to indicate that your office might, MIGHT, have a duty to photocopy the
electronic versions I sent and serve them in a manner that the opposing attorneys will not respond to by
filing "Motions to Dismiss" based upon illegibility or bad copying/printing. They object to the 9 pages per
page stuff...In an ideal world your office would serve one page per page of these things, after you print them
out, etc...If you can do that, I would of course be extremely grateful, if you can't, I am of course let to
scratch and claw my way through this lawsuit like every other thing in my life as an IFP who can seemingly
be curbstomped by the older richer attorneys whenever they feel like it (and who have some dubious help in
doing so). One interesting thing is that one of the employment cases, etierh cv11-01955 or cv11-01986
(whichever was filed on June 27th with an IFP) has to be served within 120 days of WHEN? The docket
seems to suggest the Complaint in that IFP case was only entered on or around August 11th, 2011, which
would obvioulsy changed the 120 days calculation, however, whether the filing date relates back to the IFP is
something I have never been able to get a clear answer on anywhere....

RE: I dispute the $90.00 charge I was sent a bill for

Dear Mr. Coughlin:
I received your correspondence, and it was not my intent to ask you to do any chores. While
reasonable minds can differ on statutory interpretation, the research I have conducted excludes from
the term collector a governmental official collecting or attempting to collect any debt is in the
performance of his official duties. See, Definitions [15 USC 1692a(6)(c)]

I was under the impression you had been given the statutory authority for the debt. It is NRS
211.2415, which gives the Board Of County Commissioner the authority to collect room and board
fees to reimburse expenses incurred by the county for individuals housed in the Washoe County
Detention Facility. The County is seeking to collect $90 dollars ($30 per day)for a three day stay in
the Washoe County Detention Facility.

I am not sure why you included my salary in the correspondence. Please contact me if I can be of
further assistance.

Please provide the legal authority that it doesn't. Also, can you cite to the NRS that
provides the authority. I would think you guys got enough of my money arresting me
for jaywalking (20 hours in jail, fleeced for my last $160, then arrested again by your
Jersey Shore Cops for calling 911 (a gross misdemeanor requiring another $300 in
cash to bail out so I can go fight for Nevadan homeowners against scum banks and
lenders trying to rob our community of equity) to report my dog was missing and last

I believe we have completed the programming that will have your e-mails bypass Mr. Young and
be sent directly to me. As Mr. Youngs supervisor, I will have the content reviewed and arrange for a
response if necessary.
I have become familiar with your contacts and exchanges not only with this Office, but with the
Nevada State Bar, Judicial Ethics, the Courts, the Public Defenders Office and other individuals. I had
hoped you were capable of exercising some restraint in the content of your communications and the
unnecessary volume thereof, but that hope has passed.
I do not intend to answer the numerous communications by you; however, do not consider my
non-response to be in any way an agreement with what you set forth. I simply have more to do than
engage in an endless exchange of communications with you. As indicated, I will have someone in this
Office ( not Mr. Young) review your efforts and inform me if they believe a response if required. Mr.
Young will continue to proceed with your case that was assigned to him, but is not available to you in
the future.
I expect this brief notice to you to result in a number of lengthy responses. I will proceed as stated

Discovery in RCR2012-065630

Sent: Thu 12/27/12 2:59 PM
Mr. Coughlin,

My office has previously provided you, through your attorney when you were represented by the
PDs Office, all discovery in the above-referenced case. This included all media, including a copy of
the disk which was admitted during the trial on 12/11/12.

Based on your representations made in court that you did not receive that disk, and in an abundance
of caution, I have now asked that my discovery unit provide you all discovery again. This will include
all media in addition to paper. You should be notified shortly of its availability. Despite resending
you discovery in this case, it is still my position, as I stated in court, that all discovery had been
previuosly provided to you.

Separately, I wanted to let you know that Ms. Beechler, who testified for the State in this case on
12/11/12, unexpectedly and sadly passed away on December 13, 2012. As Im sure you recall, at the
time we broke for the day, she had just finished her direct examination. I filed a Notice of this with
the Court today, with a copy being sent to you; however, I also wanted to notify you by email.

Thanks,

Zach

Coughlin: RCR11-063341 (Petit Larceny) and
RCR12-067980 (Resisting)
From: Leslie, Jim (Jleslie@washoecounty.us) This sender is in your safe list.
Sent: Thu 10/11/12 10:45 AM
To: zachcoughlin@hotmail.com (zachcoughlin@hotmail.com)
Mr. Coughlin:

Please take note that in your petit larceny case the competency hearing has been moved from 10/15/12
to 10/22/12 at 10:00 a.m. and the trial in that petit larceny case has been reset to 11/19/12 at 8:30 a.m.

Please also take note that in your resisting case, the misdemeanor pretrial hearing is reset for 10/22/12 at
10 a.m. We are resetting the pretrial hearing on the 12-067980 case to coincide with the 10/22/12 10 a.m.
competency hearing, since under law we cannot hold an earlier pretrial in that case until competency in
the petit larceny case is determined by the court upon the Lakes report.

We are also sending regular mail notification of these date changes in addition to this email notification.
The reason for the change of dates is that I am unavailable on 10/15/12.

Additionally, given your repeated complaints and repeated expressions of lack of satisfaction about the
performance of any and all attorneys assigned to you, and given that the feedback we are receiving from
Lakes Crossing is that you are legally competent and are able to assist and cooperate with counsel, should
you so choose, it is my intention to ask the court on 10/22/12 to relieve our office and permit you to self-
represent. Please note that as a courtesy to you I had the resumption of trial in the petit larceny case
pushed out past the competency hearing, so that if you are permitted to self-represent you will have
intervening time to prepare for resumption of trial, receive any materials from our office that are
appropriate to a self-representation hand-off, and pursue any motions you deem appropriate against the
states case prior to resumption of trial.

If, however, you oppose self-representation, I will ask the court to cease entertaining any and all further
complaints by you against counsel, since by opposing self-representation you will have decided to
remain represented by your assigned counsel. Since Lakes reports that you are competent and able to
interact with counsel like a normal person, assuming you voluntarily choose to so conduct yourself, there
are no remaining excuses for your behavior and certainly no excuses based on mental inability,
deficiency, or incompetency.

Finally, at this point, after having again reviewed the documents and evidence in the petit larceny case as
well as having again reviewed your various emails communications, demands, threats, and suggestions
(including those with merit and those lacking merit), it is my intention if I continue to be your attorney
that upon resumption of petit larceny trial I will call upon you to decide whether or not you will testify
(to date, despite my repeated efforts, you have evaded providing a straight answer to that question and
have even evaded my attempts to help prepare you for testimony should you decide to testify). If you
do not clearly state your desire to testify, then the presumption will be that you wish to rely on your Fifth
Amendment right not to be compelled to testify and upon that presumption you will not be called as a
witness for your defense. Other than you, I anticipate no defense witnesses at this point in time,
although I continued to give that question consideration and re-evaluation on an ongoing basis along
with review and re-review of the file and testimony thus far adduced.

Any dates prior to the 10/22/12 competency hearing in your case with Mr. Dogan will also need to be
reset to a date on or after 10/22/12, since, as noted above, no court action can be taken pending the
official court determination of competency.

sferrazza's shepp violating 2011-063341 conviction 0204.pdf (254.1
KB)
To Whom it May Concern,
Before I get done away with, I just wanted to try to access justice a little bit more. Been having some real issues with
Court's just refusing to file things (the RJC refusing to file the 12/26/11 Notice of Appeal in rjc rev2011-001708 cited in
Judge Flanagan's Order denying my appeal (or he cited my failure to file such a NOA in CV11-03628 as allowing him not to
consider matters stemming from Judge Sferrazza's 12/21/11 order "resolving" (no, I did not "agree" to the Order, I made
that very clear on the record...).
Then there is the RJC failing to file my 3/16/12 Notice of Appeal in rjc rev2012-000374, in the other summary eviction by
Galye Kern, ESq. (Judge Linda Gardner's former law partner, and I sued Judge Linda Gardner in 54844, and her Order in
dv08-01168 was cited by Washoe Legal Services Elcano as the sole reason for my firing, which led to 60302, and that April
2009 ORder now "mysteriously" became a grievance ng12-0435, which Bar Counsel has fraudulently attempted to assert he
got from "the clerk of court", but which lacks a certification from Clerk of Court Hastings (Bar Counsel King likes dealing
with the Reno Municipal Court whenever possible, going so far as to have it certify documents that it lacks authority to
certify, then claiming the audio transcripts from the RMC are "not certified...worthless...lacking context..." when Coughlin
tries to offer them to the Panel on 11/14/12 in SBN. V. Coughlin (ng12-0204, 0434, and 0435...which somehow is supposed
to address 60838 despite the "conviction" in 60838 not being addressed at all, which is considering the Court's 6/7/12 ORder
and SCR 111(7) mandate that the matter "is referred to the disciplinary panel for the sole purpose of determining the
punishment " for the the conviction the subject of the SCR 111(6) petition in 60838 (ie, not for what the SBN and
NNDB/Panel did, which is try to tranmogrify RMC Judge Nash Holmes various Order in a "simple traffic citation trial" into
some SCR 111(5) "conclusive proof of a conviction" of a bunch of alleged violations of the Rules of Professional Conduct
that Judge Nash Holmes copied and pasted into her second bite at the apple 3/12/12 Order in rmc 11 tr 26800...then there is
judge schroeder ruling that gayle kern doesn't even have to respond to coughlin's recent filings pointing out that she
mailed the notice of entry of order to an address coughlin had told her was no good anymore in her may 2012
mailing....then
there is the rjc issuing an eviction order violative of nrs 40.253(5) on 6/28/12, depsite coughlin's filing a tenant's affidavit
with the sparks justice court on 6/26/12, which was the forum listed on the notice in which the tenant must file...and
coughlin's writying and callign the wcso, rjc, sparks justice court, etc., etc. and giving them a heads up on the situation...no
matter, Judge schroeder signed the eviction order and the wcso office arrested coughlin w here he didn't immediately open
his door and where the wcso refused to identify themselves, and where the lockout order was obtained by an unlicensed
"eviction consulting service process firm", Nevada Court services in rjc rev2012-001048, which begat the criminal
prosecution fo coughlin in rcr2012-067980 for "resisting or obstructing a public officer" or "false statement to a public
officer....the rjc and the wcda's office criminal and civil division and the wcso goin' together like bread and meat.
Then there is Judge Clifton's "disenfecting" the record from anything I am trying to preserve in rjc rcr2012-065630. Most
recently he put a post-it note "Order" telling Robbin Baker and Cathy Wood to finally file in my 11/28/12 filing in that
matter but to file stampe it the day after the trial started...so file stampe it 12/12/12...which makes it far less operative.. I
had permission to fax file as of 11/28/12, and given Judge Clifton removed public defender Dogan as counsel of record
substituting in me as a pro se...I was entitled to file that document (I believe it was an Motion for Reconsideration of Order
allowing wCDA to Amend Complaint (they didn't want to try a "misuse of 911" charge against this former domestic
violence attorney, where Judge Clifton and Judge Gardner worked together in the domestic violence unit at the Washoe
County District Attorney's Office and where Coughlinw as granted two protections orders against domestic violence
against the very peopel he called 911 about, but for which reno pd sargent paul sifre decided to order coughlin arrest for
the second time in 2 days (the first arrest, on 1/12/12 was a custodial arrest for jaywalking...and in the interim the same
officer coughlin filed a written complaint against with the rpd on 1/8/12 pulled coughlin over on 1/13/12 with 5 other
officers and harrassed him late at night....).
Plus, the wcpd refused to give coughlin the 8/13 and 8/17/12 cd's of discovery containing the 911 calls in question. DDA
Young refused to provide Coughlin a copy and Judge Clifton claimed his hands were tied to allow Coughlin access to such
discovery (though he was sure to "help" the DA out by turning the 11/27/12 hearing into an arraignment, despite earlier
stating on the record that it was not permissible to do so and how the hearing was for a very limited purpose of hearing
argument on the motion to amend the complaint (which was amended to a scr 111(6) "serious offense" because a
conviction there woudl help bar counsel get rid of coughlin, and help the wcda's office out a lot more than a "misue of
911" charge...the amended charge was "obstructing a public officer"...which is specificaly mnetioned in the scr 111(6)
serious offense rule....though Judge Clifton kept a straight face when indicating to Coughlin "I don't see how "misuse of
911" is less worse for you than "obstructing a public officer" under a SCR 111(6) analysis...I really don't. " Yeah. uh....sure.
Then there is Judge Clifton refusing to file in many other filing by Coughlin in rcr2012-065630.
Then, Coughlin as of 12/19/12, still has not received the record on appeal in cr12-2025 (one of 4 criminal matters involving
Couglin that have been "randomly" assigned to Judge Steven Elliot, who worked at Panel Chair Echeverria's father's law
firm, sat on CAAW's board and presided over Coughlin's wrongful termination suit against CAAW and Washoe Legal
SErvices, did not disclose the conflict, failed to recuse self, etc...and who went to Stanford in the later 1960s with Elcano
(director of WLS) and Panel Chair Echeverria...Oh, and Judge Gardner's campgain contributions include some from WLS's
Torvingen, expense to CAAW, her brother refused recuse self from criminal trespass prosectuion of coughlin in 11 cr
26405...oh, jeez, its exhausting detailing all this over and over....more copy and pasting necessary..
then judge linda gardner's brother, rmc jduge william gardner failed to file coughlin's timely notice of appeal of the 6/18/12
conviction of trespass in 11 cr 26405...for cr12-1262...then the rmc failed to order the transcript prepared in the walmart
candy bar case in 11 cr 22176, which became cr11-2064, rmc holds Pam Longoni out as only one who can get the audio to
do the transcript, and Longoni refuses to prepare the transcript, even where coughlin offerred to pay for it under protest
(because nrs 4.14(a) applies to civil cases, not criminal appeals by indigents....(rmc Judge HOward refused Coughlin court
appointed counsel, even though he failed to rule that jail time was absolutely not a possibility, violation aigersinger...and
refused even one continuance, though they are freely given to richard g. hill/reno city attorney...or stipped to by lew taitel,
coughlin's then rmc court appointed defender who is the "staff attoreny" for Nevada Court Services, whom Coughlin as
suing at the time...so, no on the conflicts check by Taitel...
Now Judge Clifton and Judge Sferrazza and RJC Administrator STeve Tuttle (with the help of clerk's Robbin Baker and Cathy
Wood) have forbidden Coughlin from fax filing, only allow him 15 minutes a day to be at the counter to review a file (no
matter how much of that 15 minutes is eaten up with "delays"...), etc., etc. lots of special unpublished "house rules"
applicable only to Coughlin...kind of like the impermissible rent escrow deposit judge sferrazza order in 10/13/11 in
rev2011-001708 in violation of jcrcp 83 in that the rjc has not published and had approved by the n. s. ct. a corollary to jcrlv
44...though Judge Clifton managed to find "moot" Coughlin's Motion to Set aside that forced rent escrow deposit in light
of the fact that Coughlin did deposit that $2,276 dollars....not exactly moot...kind of like Judge Clifton saying "your here!"
when Coughlin contested the improper notice by public defender leslie of the 12/18/12 hearing in rcr2012-067980 that
Judge Clifton curiously presided over despite it being a Judge PEarson case and Judge PEarson being at work that day...the
whole jcrrt rule about cases being randomly assigned doesn't seem all that hard and fast...like when Jduge Clifton was
assigned the Coughlin v. Park Terrace illegal lockout case, but rjc bailiff sexton came in and moved Jduge SFerrazza onto
the matter minutes before the hearing, whereupon Judge Clifton had "traffic matters" to rule on....
then there is the rmc and judge nash holmes refusing to file in and comply with the dictates of nrs 189.030 in 11 tr 26800
where coughlin appealed the contempt order of 2/27/12 and 2/28/12....and the whole business of the rmc and its marshall
being given coughlin's smart phone and micro sd card after it was book into coughlin's personal property at the jail on
2/27/12, when the rmc marshals came to the jail on 2/28/12...and apparently..without a court order or warrant, were
allowed to take possession of those items and take them back to the rmc....and they were returned to coughlin 37 days
later, via a 3/30/12 order by judge nash holmes releasing them to coughlin (curious considering coughlin's 3/30/12 filign in
Judge Beelsey's case in the nvb cadle company v keller 10--05104 exposed that whole confiscating coughlin's property in a
manner in no way a search incident to arrest....) and where Judge Beelsey, Judge Nash Holmes, and Washoe Legal SErvices
Elcano all went to McGeorge School of law in 1977....and all three testified at coughlin's 11/14/12 formal disciplinary
hearing before the panel and sbn....hhmmmmmn....
and the recent cr12-1262 appeal of the denial of coughlin's motion for new trial did not include the cd/dvds coughlin
attached to his 10/24/12 filign and his 11/2/12 filing (and the 11/2/12 filign was not included in what the rmc transmitted to
the district court on 11/29/12? funny..... lots of attached cd/dvds turnin' up missin' or "weren't never there" despite
Robbin Baker admitting they were in the rjc in rcr2011-063341 and rcr2012-065630 in the jduge sferrazza and judge clifton
cases...and in Clifton's 065630 City Attorney Bony's letter about the subpoenas in 2011-063341 and the envelope addresssed
to judge sferrazza is in the file in Clifton's 065630 case? and Judge Clifton admits that, on the record in 065630 he "looked
at the submission on subpoenas" in the judge sferrazza cases...funny, Judge SFerrazza said there was no cd/dvd's attached
to any of Coughlin's pre-trial filings.....and judge sferazza signed the 11/16/12 orders on those "submissions on
subpoenas"...so why would Judge clifton be lookin at them and why are cd/dvd's disappearing?

formal complaint against state bar of nevada, bar
counsel king, Clerk of Court Peters, and
NNDB/Panel FW: State Bar of Nevada refusing to
file stamp Respondent' s pleadings
Sent: Thu 12/20/12 1:23 PM

(bill.pritchard@americanbar.org)
State Bar of Nevada Clerk of Court Laura Peters, Bar Counsel Patrick King,
the NNDB/Panel have lied to me regarding the express permission i was given
to fax file documents in ng12-0204 on September 11th, 2012. Further, they
have lied about the express permission to issue my own supboenas (even
though I am a suspended attorney, meaning I did not need to go down to the
SBN and have them embossed with a seal or otherwise) and that I would not
be required to pay subpoena or subpoena duces tecum witness fees. Clerk
Peters, Bar Counsel King/NNDB/Panel gave me permission and or
represented the applicable rules, procedures, etc. made it so that I could fax
file (including my September 17th, 2012 Motion to Dismiss and many other
pleadings which they are now alleging are not in the record, were not file in,
and were not provided to the Panel/Board. The SBN represented to me that all
of my filings would be copied to the Panel in their entirety, including exhibits,
even those on cd/dvd's, the shortly before and during the hearing the
SBN/Panel pulled the rug out from under me fraudulently, preventing me
from getting a continuance for the failure of witnessesses to appear, etc. The
SBN did not file serve on me an subpoenas it alleges to have served on
witnesses.
The SBN has failed to live up to its agreement to provide me a file stamped
cover page of all of the filings as well, and further, the SBN/Panel attempts to
mislead in Exhibit 16 from the hearing where it fails to included the 4 exhibits
mentioned therein. Additionally, the SBN/Peters have abused process in
threatening, and perhaps, obtaining protection orders, police involvement etc.
in their attempts to cover up their malfeasance and to limit my ability to
chronicle and discover their fraudulent conduct throughout my disciplinary
process. The Order by Judge Flanagan and the Order by Judge Linda Gardner
are not certified (at least not the version of the exhibits given me) and Bar
Counsel King told the Panel all Orders he was admitting into evidence were
appropriately certified. It is inappropriate for the SBN/Peters/king to purport
to be running a "court" and "filing office" and refuse to allow me to go their
and file materials or review the file.
Additionally, Peters admits that King controls her, he attempted to have her
personally served me on September 25th, 2012 because Peters promises me
any 8/23/12 mailing woudl never be asserted as effective proof of service
given she received the certified mailing back on 9/10/12...She promised that
the Complaint would be resent via certified mail, and failing a signed
certificate card received by me, a Notice of Intent to take Default woudl be
served on my pursuant to SCR 109. However, no post September 10th, 2012
certfified mailing of the sCR 105 complaint was sent, Rather, the september
25th, 2012 attempt to personally serve me, violating courthouse sanctuary
doctrine, where I showed up for a hearing that was noticed to me in writing by
Clerk Peters, that was to be solely on for the limited purpose set out in the
Court's 6/7/12 Order in 60838. Then SBN King lied to the Panel in
presenting the 8/23/12 certified mailing as sufficient return of service of the
Complaint. King further lied where he presented the Notice of Intent to Take
Default as appropriately served where it was mailed by one method only, and
USPS clerk Tim of the downtown Reno Station refused to give it to me
because it had insufficient postage. It was delivered back to the SBN with
Tim's handwritten insufficient postage notation on November 8th, 2011.
Please process this as a formal complaint
Sincerely,

Subject: RE: Mr Coughlin
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 21:22:16 -0800
Dear SBN and Panel
The Disciplinary Hearing File that Pat King purported to have copied and
provided to me contains numerous instances of my filings (as ruled on by
Panel Chair Echeverria, not being filestamped...). Echeverria's very ruling
on filing he was not mailed (to the extent that was the case, and perhaps it
was a test) concedes at least the approval of filign by fax (express
indication of the permissibility thereof in accordance with SCR 105(4) was
provided by SBN Clerk of Court Peters on 9/11/12.
Please confirm that my filings, all of them, including the Motion to Show
Cause of 10/2/12, starting on bate stamp 02849 have been provided to all
Panel members as the SBN has repeatedly indicated they would be
(included the copying of all attachments, including cd/dvds). Further, the
Motion to Dismiss of 9/17/12 lacks a file stamp (and it should be
filestamped 9/17/12, not 10/16/12 as the Panel Chairs indicates...which
means the SBN failed to Oppose the Motion to Dismiss, and the Complaint
was dismissed prior to any other purported proof of service being effected
(or spurious assertions of Coughlin dodging service given his numerous
written correspondences and calls offering to meet Reno Carson or the
SBN...until Coughlin finally just gave the SBN his physical address on
10/23/12, despite safety concerns....)
Who gave you this order that you attached in the email of your's included
below (the 8/28/12 Order by Judge Flanagan in the Carpentier foreclosure
defense case in SBN King's 8/30/12 email below)? And who gave you the
April 2009 Order sanctioning Coughlin, which Washoe Legal Service's ED
Elcano cited as the sole reason for firing Coughlin, now on appeal in 60302,
a wrongful termination lawsuit that worked its way through NERC and
Maureen Cole, Esq. and therefore, Chairman Susich in 2009 and 2010.
Does that not conflict Mr. Susich out of the screening panel and other
aspects of these grievances? Did Mr. Susich disclose that conflict incident to
the problems Maureen Cole had in carrying out the duties of her job as an
attorney for the NV DETR and NERC?
Please copy me on anything proving Chairman Susich so disclosed that
conflict.
Additionally, more and more frequently, when I question Laura Peters on
some misstatement or attempt to mislead that she makes, she starts talking
about getting a "protection order" or otherwise seeking to abuse process.
Speaking of abusing process, due process namely, Peters was caught signing
Certificates of Mailing for 10/31/12 certified mailings created in conjunction
with the SBN's Pitney Bowes system that Peters knew would not be picked
up by the SBN's mail carrier the day the certificate of mailing indicated the
would be, or at least were placed...Please explain how your office's certified
mailing procedures work and comply with federal law.
Additionally, I have review the materials you had Sierra Legal Duplicating
provide and there is no indication of where materials such as the 8 28 12
Order sanctioning Coughlin generated from or whom transmitted them to the
SBN. I had a discussion with Bar Counsel Clark over a year ago about
whether there was some centralized method of keeping track of Orders
sanctioning attorneys. He indicated there was not. Please indicate then, who
provided you the various different Orders sanctioning Coughlin. Let me
guess, you refuse to, right? Or you want to say "the Clerk of Court"
provided the April 2009 Order Sanctioning Coughlin by Second Judicial
Family Court Judge Gardner...which means what, Pat? Does that mean "the
Clerk of Court for Department 3" (ie, of the Municipal Court's Department
3, which you fail to specify in your 3/23/12 email reporting such an
identified "Clerk of Court" wrote you that day about pajamas (we talkin'
'bout pajamas, Pat. Pajamas? What are we even talkin' 'bout? Pajamas?
Seriously, not even wearing pajamas in court, but just out and about.) Pat,
you are going to look like such an unbelievably compromised, crooked, and
inept Bar Counsel when it is displayed what a tenuous thread each and every
aspect of all these half baked grievances hang from.
Literally every sentence of the RMC hearings that you were provided Pat, and that you finally
provided to me, that I transcribe makes the appearance of impropriety disclosed herein look worse
and worse for the RMC, the SBN, the City Attorney, etc., etc. And that is not even getting started
on any other forums or players.
Its really nice how upon transmission of this email I can prove, via a means that is digitally
verifiable that this Panel is now in possession of the certified audio of the following transcripts:
April 10th, 2012 Trial in criminal trespass matter before RMC W. Gardner in 11 CR 26405 (check
out especially the conflict analysis vis a vis his sister's April 2009 Order sanctioning Coughlin
becoming the third grievance in SBN King's August 23rd, 2012 SCR 105 Complaint). You have a
duty to review this, paying especially close attention to the statements on the record by Hon. W.
Garder between the 4:45 minute mark to the 9:30 mark and then again from the 10:32 mark to the
(the matter of whether recusal is appropriate for W. Gardner in light of his sister being Family
Court Judge L. Gardner (see Mandamus Petition Coughlin filed against W. Gardner's sister L.
Gardner in 54844 and, between 7:20-8:00 minute mark whether the filing of a bar grievance based
upon his sister's April 2009 Order then becoming the ng12-0435 bar grievance would further
require recusal, beyond the fact that Coughlin has anticipated litigations against the City of Reno,
RMC, and City Attorney's Office, and W. Gardner worked as a criminal prosecutor for the City of
Reno Attorney's Office from 1987 to 1997, short stint in Arizona, then from 1997-2000, then again
from 2007-2010): http://caseinfo.nvsupremecourt.us/public/caseView.do?csIID=22746
You will need to take a long hard look and listen to the material betwen the 14:20 minute mark
and the 15:30 minute mark wherein the following exchange took place:
Coughlin: I asked Loomis to inform the Court of the fact that your sister, or someone forwarding
your sister's April 2009 grievance onto the State Bar in the last two weeks
Judge Gardner: Forwarding? That I was unaware of...that is the first I have heard of that, today.
Coughlin: I asked Mr. Loomis to inform you of that and he failed to.
Gardner: Now, I am aware of that. Unless Mr. Loomis has made a Motion to Withdraw as your
counsel, he will continue to be your attorney today."
At that point, Judge W. Gardner might have done well to take a page out of his sister's book when
she recused herself from the Bell v. Greer case FV11-02864 (which also proves Coughlin was
holding out the 121 River Rock Address as a law office, and therefore a commercial tenancy
precluding No Cause Summary Eviction where the nonpayment of rent is not plead or alleged in
the Hill eviction case prior to the service of any eviction notice or even any hint of an oncoming
eviction) wherein Judge L. Gardner recused herself from a case wherein Coughlin was representing
a single father in a custody dispute based upon a judicial canon (see atached).

King's unlawful attempt to combine the hearing required by the Court's June 7th, 2012 Order with
these three grievances (which comprise the instant SCR 105 Complaint in SBN v. Zach Coughlin
(ng12-0204, ng12-0434, and ng12-0435) violates SCR 111(7)-(8) and the express terms of the
Court's June 7th, 2012 Order in 60838 in failing to have a proceeding (singular) addressing the
"sole issue" of determining the punishment of Coughlin for the conviction in RMC 11 CR 22176 for
petty larceny of $14.00 comprised of "a candy bar and some cough drops" where Wal-mart alleges
Coughlin consumed those items while shopping for and paying for $83.82 worth of groceries.
Coughlin categorically disputes that legitimacy of every aspect of that conviction, see 60838 and
61426:
60838 Walmart case with Court's June 7th, 2012 Order suspending
Coughlin: http://caseinfo.nvsupremecourt.us/public/caseView.do?csIID=29004
61426: Coughlin's Petition to Dissolve the Temporary Suspension of June 7th, 2012, which Bar
Counsel admits entitles Coughlin to an "immediate hearing" under SCR 102(4)(d)

Amended Notice of Service that operates to withdraw eviction order of 6 28 12.pdf (285.9 KB)
Dear DDA Young and DDA Watts-Vial,
I am respectfully writing to request a stipulation to an extension of time for filing my opening brief in CR12-2025
and for Eflex access or some other digital copy of the materials on file in CR12-2025 and CR13-0615 (the RJC,
much like the ROA of 12/6/12 in CR12-2025, failed to provide me a copy of the 4/16/12 ROA in CR13-0615). The
transcripts are not done yet. Further, I am not an efiler in the 2JDC, DDA Young is, as such, an unfair
advantage has been afforded him where he has received electronic notices regarding filing in CR12-2025, and I
have not, especially with respect to the spate of recent filings by the RJC, including the Supplementals of
4/16/13 and the 4/26/13 "Transcripts" (I do not believe it is appropriate to seek to burden me, my family, and my
career with a SCR 111(6) conviction, a real one, if the County or RJC cannot manage to comply with the 1/9/13
Order for Preparation of Transcripts at Public Expense and actually produce legitimate, certified by a CCR,
transcripts, with actual certifications sworn to therein.
The 1/9/13 ORDER GRANTING IN FORMA PAUPERIS by Judge Elliott in CR12-2025, Coughlin submits, does
include Eflex access/fee waiver, at least to that criminal prosecution, and, as such, should extend to all other
criminal matters wherein Coughlin is an Appellant or party before Department 10. Further, Coughlin requests
some compensation at public expense for self representing, and or some assignment of co-counsel (not Bruce
Lindsay), but Coughlin chooses to remain, at the expense of no such assignement of co-counsel, his primary
representative. The 1/9/13 Order, further, allowed for Coughlin to utilize a court reporter of his choosing, and he
confirmed such with Mrs. Howden of Department 10, and so directed Sunshine Litigation to undertake the
preparation of such transcripts, which it has been doing and remains doing, but the progress thereof has been
slowed by the RJC refusing to release the sealed portions of such transcripts, which is particularly problematic
since the sealed portions involving matters absolutely essential to the appeal of this case (ineffective assistance
of counsel, Mardsen Motion, competency issues, violations of NRS 178.405 stay, Stankewitz considerations,
etc.). Additionally, the RJC, despite an IFP being long on file in the matter in 11-063341, is now refusing to
release to Couglin the 2/4/13 and 2/5/13 hearing in 11-063341, where are of essentail importance vis a vis
appealable issues in both CR12-2025 and CR13-0614, based upon some contention that the IFP does not
extend to such hearings (there is an IFP in both the appeal and the trial court matter in 11-063341, and the RJC
Clerk's have taken to typing out such refusals to provided such, leaving them unsigned and unattributed).
Matters at issue in those 2/4/13 (a "warrant arraignment" for a warrantless arrest where the docket reveals no
actively issued warrant connected to such arrest or araignment"), and the Order for Competency Evaluation and
impermissible Ex Parte Reconsideration Motion Hearing Setting and accompanying violations of the mandatory
stay under NRS 178.405 attendant thereto of 2/5/13 in both 12-065630 and 11-063341.
Upon consideration of Defendant's December 19, 2012 Application to Proceed In Forma Pauperis, this Court
believes that Defendant does not have sufficient income, property or resources with which to commence and
maintain the action. Pursuant to Nevada Supreme Court's Order ADKT No.4H, a person will be deemed indigent
who is unable, without substantial hardship to himself or his dependents, to obtain competent qualified legal
counsel on his own. The Court finds that pursuant to NRS 171.188, defendant has insufficient assets and/or
Income to proceed absent a grant of forma pauperis status. Accordingly, this Motion is granted. NOW, THERE
FORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that pursuant to NRS 171.188 defendant is granted leave to proceed in forma
pauperis. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Court allow defendant to bring such action without costs and file
or issue any necessary writ, process, pleading or paper without
charge, with the exception of jury fees. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Sheriff or any other appropriate
officer within the state make personal service of any necessary writ, process, pleading or paper without charge
for defendant. IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that the preparation of the transcript be provided at the public's
expense. DATED this L day of January 2013.
I'll trade the quasi-transcripts for a quasi-conviction, deal? Or, we could find a way to get the deal I accepted on
8/27/12 in court that disposed of all three prosecutions (11-063341, 12-065630, 12-067980). I realize DDA
Young grew annoyed with what he interpreted to be a lack of gratitude for what was, admittedly, a very
reasonable plea deal. I apologize for that. My only mitigating factor to assert relates to some of the friction
between my public defender and myself, which was compounded by some issues with an RJC Bailiff, whom has
been going through some tribulations of his own since September 2011, including a FV TPO, bankruptcy, and
divorce with children..."I'll put my boot up your ass" he said to me on 10/8/12 while I was seated next to WCPD
Leslie...he has on numerous occasions refused to accept my filings for incredibly dubious reasons (presenting
six minutes prior to 5 pm, I do not believe, entitles a Bailiff to unilaterally alter the terms of the 12/20/12
"Administrative Order 2012-01...see what some might view as an encroachment upon your executive function by
the judiciary in RCR2013-071437)...especially on dates where NRS 175.515 or 189.010 deadlines are falling.
Further, I don't believe it is appropriate for such Bailiff to be exorting me, sarcastically, to "take your
medication", or to shove his forearm in my midsection in the DAS cubicle in some attempted to more
authoritatively violate the courthouse sanctuary rule/immunity afforded to litigants and attorney's from service
while attending court, where attempting to serve a SBN TPO that is inordinately suspect, especially when viewed
in conjunction with DDA Watts-Vial's 11/13/12 fax regarding the subpoenas that the 2JDC Judges and
Custodians of Records failed to respond to incident to DDA Watts-Vial's instructions. This is especially true
where SCR 110 is controlling, not NRCP 45 (and regardless, Coughlin is and was "authorized to practice" in the
disciplinary hearing setting, and was and is "an attorney"), and where SCR 110(3)-(4) make clear that jurisdiction
to rule on Motions to Quash such subpoenas resides only with the NNDB Chairman, not the Panel Chair (see
DDA Watts-Vial's reliance upon such a void for lack of jurisdiction 11/7/12 Order by Panel Chair Echeverria that
did not even mention the 2JDC subpoenas.
Further, it is not entirely clear why DDA Watts-Vial was apparently the attorney assigned to respond to the
subpoenas of 10/31/12 on the 2JDC Judges and Custodian of Records, but, apparently, not for the 10/30/12
subpoenas on RJC Court Adminstrator Steve Tuttle and Chief Civil Clerk Karen Stancil, and the RJC Custodian
of Records. Perhaps the RJC failed to inform the executive branch of such matters? Or, perhaps, the judicial
branch has autonomy to handle such matters as it sees fit.
Additionally, the extremely close temporal connection between Couglhin's 2/1/13 email to the WCDA's Office
and the NRS 171.136 violating warrantless arrest after 7 pm in Coughlin's own home by the Department of
Alternative Sentencing, is troubling.
Couglin appealed the 3/11/13 Order in RCR2013-071437, and RCR11-063341 (Further, the 2/1/13 arrest was not,
contrary to a subsequent assertion, based upon some failure to get a mental health evaluation done, and there
was no active warrant incident to any such allegation at the time of the 2/1/13 arrest).
Whether the "disturbances" in the RJC Criminal Division Filing Office offered as a basis for depriving Coughlin,
with no notice or opportunity to be heard, of his liberty right to access the filing office was connected to some
allegations involving the same RJC Bailiff referenced above purporting to serve Coughlin the a Order or TPO, is
unclear, as the RJC failed to comply with NRS 22.030(2)'s requirement that any such conduct not occurring in
the "immediate view and presence of the court" be set out in an affidavit.
Further, some global resolution would certainly resolve some of the issues related to the alternate court
appointed lawyer, Bruce Lindsay's representations to Coughlin that all three criminal prosecutions (the probation
violation in 11-063341, the appeal in CR12-2025, and RCR12-067980, and RCR12-065630) as well as whichever
case number the "Administrative Order 2012-01" and accompanying 2/25/13 Order to Show Cause therein had
been met with an agreement by the WCDA's Office to globally resolve all such in a manner wherein Coughlin
would have no SCR 111(6) convictions in the RJC. As it stands now, Coughlin was sold a certain bill of goods
which has not materialized, particularly with respect to the two SCR 111(6) convictions (of 11/20/12 in RCR11-
063341, now on appeal in CR12-2025, and on, apparently, of 4/3/13 in RCR12-065630 (Couglhin has not been
served any such "Judgement of Conviction" listed on the docket therein), now on appeal in CR13-0614).
Further, with respect to the NRCP 7.085/NRCP 11 implication in the TPO/EPO obtained in "Washoe County v
Zachary Coughlin", RCP2012-000599, there are a number of jurisdictional prerequisites that were not me
sufficient to support such an application. One, Leslie is the one whom signed the verification on page 8 of the
mandatory form. Such is not allowable under NRS 33.270 where Leslie, necessarily, is one of those the orders
seek to protect. It must be one's employer, which means (to whatever extent the WCPD is an "independent
contractor, notwithstanding) Washoe County would be required to file such application, which means the
WCDA's Office was required to file such. Its understandable, given the conflict analysis sure to ensue, why
WCDA DDA Watts-Vial chose not to sign the verification or file the pleading as an attorney representing a client.
However, where such TPO application in 599 seeks an order of protection as to (the caption listing "Washoe
County", rather than the WCPD, notwithstanding) an entity (which is not actually permissible under NRS
33.250...) the "employer" of said entity is not as listed in the application, "Washoe County Public Defender's
Office", but rather, the WCPD's Office's "employer" is "Washoe County".
Additionally, the failure of WCPD Leslie to accurately answer the questions of Page 4 of 6 in that 12/18/12 TPO
Application are troubling, particularly where Leslie and the WCPD where absolutely aware (made so in writing,
as was the WCDA's Office) of Richard G. Hill, Esq.'s TPO against Coughlin on 1/12/12 in RCP12-000018 (such
becoming an issue in the "misuse of 911 services" trial in RCR12-065630), and the Milan Krebs TPO against
Coughlin (the RPD certainly was busy shoving TPO applications against Coughlin in a variety of faces these past
couple years) RCP2012-000287 (such failure by Leslie to procure and provide to Coughlin the JAVS recording of
the hearing of 8/5/12 therein becoming a real point of contention...which is all the more connected to the
WCDA's Office, WCSO's, RJC, and WCPD given the wrongful eviction in RJC12-001048, and concomitant arrest
on the same date as the lockout order was being wrongfully effected, in violation of Soldal, on 6/28/12 in RCR12-
067980).
Further, both Leslie and the WCDA's Officer were made aware, in writing, of the TPO Couglin filed against an
RJC Bailiff in 2012, and that Couglin moved for one in Court against WCPD Leslie himself on 9/5/12.
Further, Leslie's answer to the first question on page 6 o that 12/18/12 application is problematic, especially
considering the caption in that case RCP12-599...its as if the WCPD and WCDA's Office and "Washoe County"
keep picking and choosing which entity is the "employer" versus the party seeking protection, and
That question reads: "Have there been any other court actions or any other relationship between the employer
and the Adverse Party?" Leslie's answer is completely misleading and unacceptable where the "employer" (see
the caption listing "Washoe County" rather than "Washoe County Public Defender") is "Washoe County", which
has, been involved in a verirty of other "court actions" involving the "Adverse Party", well beyond Leslie's
misleading indication of: "Attorney-cleint see Exh. 1". Such a misleading answer is particularly violative of RPC
3.1, 3.3, and 3.4 where the "Relief Request" was so completely onerous and over-reaching where these "parties"
necessarily still had quite a bit of business left between each other (including a multitude of discovery issues
and other matters addressing the apparent contempt incident to the 2JDC, WCPD's Office, WCSO, RJC, and
WCDA's Office failure to comply with Coughlin's "lawfully issued" subpoenas in NG12-0204, etc., not to mention
the fact that WCPD's Leslie idea of turning over a "client's file" is woefully inadequate, etc."
WCPD Leslie's "Declaration" on page 6 of 6 of that 12/18/12 TPO Application is further demonstrative of his own
professional misconduct where he purports to be "the employer" of "Washoe County" or the "authorized agent",
especially where NRS 33.270 prohibits the person seeking the Workplace Harassment order of protection from
filing for such on his own behalf. Add to this the fact that the jurisdictional prerequisite of a security bond was
not posted (the docket is prima facie evidence of fact, there was no waiver thereof, such is statutorily (per the
AOC) at a minimum $100 (and the 2/8/13 arrest by RPD Detective Ytrubide and subsequent negligent in
incorrect overcharging of a NRS 200.591 "Stalking" TPO (599 is a different breed, the "Workplace Harassment"
variety, with a violation thereof involving a "misdemeanor" under NRS 193, as clearly indicated in bold on page 1
of such 12/18/12 Order, making the fact that Ytrubid's wife, Jody, and another Ytrubide work for ECOMM/911
Dispatch particularly troubling considering the benefit inuring to the State's prosecution in RCR12-065630 (the
misuse of 911 case) upon Coughlin being arrested on 2/8/13 (the RPD came out to Coughlin's home office, and
trespassed into the back yard with their guns drown, pointing such as Coughlin's head from four feet away prior
to issuing even a single command or warning) where the trial in 065630 was set to continue, and perhaps
conclude on 2/5/13 (wait, that was made more disorienting by the suspicious 2/1/13 DAS summary warrantless
probation violation arrest incident to the dubious allegation that the RJC Bailiff's waiting just long enough, on
1/23/13 before "escorting" Coughlin to the DAS check-in, for DAS to close its doors, despite such posted hours
ending at 3 pm and Coughlin presenting to security at 2:54 pm (made all the more problematic by the fact that
the 12/20/12 Administrative Order 2012-01 by Judge Sferrazza does not apply to areas, such as the DAS check
in cubicle (there are a separate department Judge Pearson ultimately concluded) not under the "exclusive
control" of the RJC)...especially where WCSO Sargent Greg Herrera has sent written correspondence to
kmmeyer@washoecounty.us and others (including the Olympik Security courthouse detail) that have order the
Olympik Security personnel to announce to Couglin an "order" that he must wait for an "escort" even where
venturing to areas not under the "exculsive control" of either the RMC or RJC, and as such, not within the
purview of either of the "Administrative Orders" entered in those courts with respect to Coughlin.
Then there is witness RPD Nick Duralde's wife, Jessica Duralde also being an ECOMM dispatcher...ECOMM
Dispatcher Jode Ytrubide's husband RPD Detective Yturbide ordering Coughlin's arrest on 2/8/13 on the even of
the 2/12/13 trial date in RCR2012-065630...Coughlin's being taken off his medication by jail staff incident to the
2/1/13 to 2/5/13 incarceration resulting from the extremely dubious and NRS 171.136 violating DAS warrantless
probation violation arrest after 7 pm of 2/1/13 (around 12 hours after Coughlin's email to the WCDA's Office), and
again between 2/8/13 and 2/9/13...then Coughlin being sentenced summarily to 5 days incarceration on 2/13/13
by former WCDA's Office prosecutor now RJC Judge Clifton in 12-065630 for being thirty minutes late to court
(oddly, Lindsay being twenty minutes late to court on 3/11/13 did not result in his incarceration in 11-063341, 13-
071437), where the RJC arranged to have, who else, Bruce Lindsay purport to provide Coughlin some
representation at the summary criminal contempt hearing on 2/13/13 for which Coughlin was provided no notice
of, no consultation with Lindsay before hand, etc. etc..).
Further, the TPO Application in 599 fails to "incorporate by reference" the "Summary" (which is unsigned, and
arguably not even attributed) in "Exhibit 1" (especially where Form 4-Continuation Page is required to be utilized
and where the Exhibit Leslie did attach fails to contain any of the required language therein specifically asserting
that such matters attested therein are "to be incorporated by reference" into the 6 page "Form B-3 Application
for Temporary Order for Protection Against harassment in the Workplace" in RJC RCP12-599.
Lastly, it is not appropriate for the RJC's Cathy Wood to be transcribing the JAVS recordings, much less
"signing" them "Cathy W.". Its a transcript in a court of law, not a T-Mobile representative notation on one's cell
phone accounts records.

WCSO Sargent Herrera sent, in an email of 4/15/13 at 1:38 PM a message which included the following:
TO: kmmeyer@washoecounty.us,wmullen@washoecounty.us,
jalgeo@washoecounty.us, kseely@washoecounty.us
"Mr. Coughl i n needs to be stopped at screeni ng at both bui l di ngs and escorted to hi s desti nati on due

Sargent Herrera ordered the Olympik Security court house security detail to carry out the above directives, and
so communicate such to Coughlin.
In general, the WCDA's Office has been the most professional of organizations to interact with this past year and
a half, and I respectfully request that it consider whether there have been some unknown factors at play in some
of the less than smooth sailing seen at times, and whether there might be some opportunity to amicably resolve
these matters.

Mr. Coughlin:
Regarding today's 11 am appointment, we did have it set, as reflected in
my emails. I note also that you responded from your
zachcoughlin@hotmail.com address, which is the same address I noticed
you for the meeting, as per your request on the phone. Notwithstanding
your failure to appear, I will inquire, again, of my investigator to see
about availability over the next couple/few days.
I and my predecessors have kept you reasonably informed. Please recall
also our long face-to-face meeting lasting over an hour and a half, at
which we discussed your case, defense theory, etc., at length. I do not
have the time to provide written summations as you request, as we have
also discussed.
Regarding your continuing accusations of conspiracies against you, you
are incorrect.
Regarding providing documentation to you, you have been provided the
materials and moreover, I recall you showing up at our offices in an
agitated emotional state demanding additional copies, which we took the
time to make for you, and you then left without taking them.
As to my withdrawl from your case, I do not believe it appropriate or
necessary. However, if you wish to represent yourself, please advise and
I'll try to set up a hearing for a proper court canvass to see if the
Court will permit that.
Finally, I am informed that you called my staff today, were unreasonable
on the phone, and then hung up on her. Please refrain from doing that
again.
Thank you,

Subject: RE: Coughlin: petit larceny trial
Actually, Jim, please get me something in writing detailing your theory
of the case, and plan of defense, including specific citations to
relevant authority (feel free to use all that legal research I provided
you, ALRs, AmJurs, on the law of finders, lost or mislaid property as
larceny, etc., etc...).
Also, do you think it would be appropriate for you to move to withdraw
given your refusal to respond to my reasonable requests for things like
an audio cd of the July 16th, 2012 hearing, a copy of the phone records
you subpoened, Nicole Watson's address, etc., etc.? Further, please
cease making all my hearings/Trials "combo" hearings for you and your
mates at the public defender to attempt to get as many things done as
possible. August 29th, 2012, if it is indeed a Trial date, is a big day
for me, I don't want Biray Dogan piggybacking his case onto that Trial,
especially in some attempt to help you and Biray play gang up be each
other's witness against me like Joe and Biray and you love to try to do.
I have proof that Biray first said he gave me my copy of the file in
rcr2012-065630, then minutes later said that he saw you give it to me,
then....blah blah. Biray has been pretty shaky on this one.....I want a

I want the Krebs tpo hearing audio cd please, or email me the files
(RJC RCP 2012-000287) and the various RPD incident reports and
911 calls connected to anything between myself, Milan Kreb's
employer, Northwind Apartments, and Northwinds Apartments. So
funny that you thought you were goign to trial on September 18th,
2012 on RCR2012-067980 for a crime requiring mandatory SCR
111(6) Petition to take away my law license and you still don't get
it, Jim.

I already requested five times, the August 6th and August 21st
hearings for the misuse case you jump in on from time to time,
RCR2012-065630 (you don't get to be on the case when you wish
to bad mouth me from the cheapseats in court, then claim no
responsibility for lack of diligent, competent reprentation, or where
legging workin out subpoenas for all the 911 calls (I want the one's
Richard G. Hill made for the November 12th, 2011 criminal
trespass arrest and incident to the events on January 12th,
2012...Biray has the January 12th, 2012 911 calls I made, so Hill's
of that day are relevant, if he even calls 911, or perhaps he just
calls a Sargent he knows. I want the audio cd of the , July 5 2012
bail hearing in Rmc 12 CR 12420, it is relevant to RCR2012-
065630 and RCR2012-067980, and hell, it is relevant to the iPhone
case too.

I wish for you to subpoena the recordings made by the skaters of
night of arrest and from the nights between August 25th, 2011 and
August 28th, 2011, when I video interviewed them and they admit
to taping me doing so and can be seen making cell phone
recordings, while they make a bunch of statement that it will be
malpractice for you not to utilize in the defense of this case. You
need to watch the videos to figure out what those statements are,
Jim, because clearly you haven't yet. Is there some problem with
the videos I emailed you? If so, then what was on the cd's that you
purported to be Trial Exhibits?. Also, please subpoena the Rpd and
911 dispatch radio traffic throughout between 11:15 pm on August
20th, 2011 through 7 am the next day, August 21st, 2011. Also
query RPD on why Duralde's written Narrative, made three months
after the arrest on November 29th, 2011 is so lawyered up
compared to one done within 48 hours of arrest per sept
policy. Please indicate in writing what you notice is new in that
11/28/11 Narrative compared to his Supplemental Declaration on
August 21st, 2011. Clearly, the appearance of the arrest video on
youtube in ther interim resulted in the City Attorney and Duralde
getting busy, but obviously playing catch up. Which is where you
currently are, Mr. Leslie. I now, no thanks to the WCPD, have all
audio cds of the August 29th Suppression Hearing/Trial (why didn't
you have Templeton or Dawson held in contempt for failing to
appear and move for a continuance...further, please indicate who
the female is that Judge Sferrazza indicated showed up to testify at
Trial on August 29th, 2012 and or September 5th, 2012. I caution
you, Mr. Leslie, that your tendency to play cutesie, hide the ball
games with me, as your client, may ultimately wind up being
viewed as an unpardonable sin by the Disciplinary Board.
Goodnight already ordered the audio cd of the early May 2012
Trial date, and I would like a copy of it please, or to have the files
emailed, either way. I actually prefer the emailing of the files.

Please review closely the video of the arrest. I suggest typing out
all the dialogue in all of these videos. It is a very useful excercise.
You wouldn't want any of the dialogue from those videos that I
took to provide a per se basis for viewing your failure to utilize
them (which you could have done so far in a variety of ways, yet
you lazily cling to the belief that the finder of fact in any
malpractice action you may face will see things the way you dream
of) as evidence of professional misconduct and or malpractice, if
not outright fraud and conspiracy. Please have your investigators
create a video and audio exhibt recreating the recording by my
HTC G2 Smartphone during the arrest, and specifically recreating
such a recording, by a phone at least somewhat similar, through
shorts similar to those seen in the arrest video of an allegedly
vibrating iphone, located only about 10 inches away. Then
compare that exhibit to the recording of the arrest. I will swear
under penalty of perjury that the recording of the arrest has not
been altered or doctored in any way, no sounds have been added or
subtracted or diminished or enhanced in any way whatsoever.
There simply is not the sound of an iPhone vibrating discernible on
the recordign of the arrest, even though the audio fo that recording
manages to pick up an amazing number of other very, very delicate
sounds that were verifiably produced from much further away than
the 10 inches away the iPhone was from the HTC G2 smartphone
Coughlin recorded the arrest with. Why is that?

Please provide the call records for the iPhone, I need the specifics
with respect to exact call times, duration, owner of the phones
making the calls, ownership records for iPhone Goble claims is his.
I need the times of the calls down to the second, if the materials
produced in response to your alleged subpoena contain as much. I
object to your redacting materials form those call records, but, to
the extent you insist, I am formally, in writing, requesting to be
email or faxed the redacted versions of those records. I want to
actually see them (even if you redact most of the useful
information contained therein). You did verbally indicate in our
August 13th, 2012 meeting, sat in on by an investigator who has
admitted he has not done any work on the case and who admitted
he had no plans to, that the iPhone Goble alleges to be his only had
four call entries (whether incomign or outgoing) for the time period
between 11:21 pm and 11:36 pm. I would like those numbers, the
owners of the account's names for those lines, the name on the
account of the iPhone Goble claims to be his (IMEI numbers are
essentially serial numbers for phones that utilize sim cards, such as
an iPhone). In the United States, carriers do not block IMEI
numbers, so those who lose their phones are often rather surprised
to find out how unhelpful the carriers are with regard to seeing
them returned. This differs from Europe.

I want the name of the unnamed and "most aggressive" youth in
there at the arrest scene. You failed to ask any questions in this
regard, which is terribly reckless of you considering what that yong
man did on the video's taken, and the fact that it is his voice doign
the threateing (Coughlin will swear to this) on the 911 call
Coughlin made at 11:26 pm on 8/20/11, which dispatcher Scott
Weese was terribly negligent in handling considering his ineffectual
text accounts. However, I wish for you to subpoena the dispatch
audio and radio traffic of that night (I know it exists, Jim, there was
a local website at one point that put similar such audio online for
free...and please move for sanctdions against the RPD and or DDA
Young for failing to provide such audio given Goodnights broad
subpoena and Request for Productio filed earlier in this case.

Please move to Strike Young 2/27/12 Opposition filed at 2:55 pm
given NRS prohibited his doing so upon the entry of ORder for
Competency Evaluation at 1:31 pm on that same date, incident to
the clandestine status conference Dogan and he held, and which
the RMC admits to having received communications from the
WCPD about, in violation of the attorney client privileg, something
Dogan is making quite a name for himself as doing.

Goble's testimony respecting being unaware of any "throw it in the
river" scenario is belied by his drunken girlfriend's statement in the
attached video's, which were taken by Coughlin the night of June
5th, 2012 when Goble battered him with a lit cigarette.

vibrating phone on arrest video. Sound of waistband snapping right
when penis touching allegation made, and startled duralde voice
just then when told Coughlin a lawyer. Compare to duralde's
attempts in his 11 28 12 narrative to imply penis touching comment
only made upon his touching left front pocket. 911 dispatch
records of the call I made at 11:26 on very negligent, subpoena
Scott Weese and Austin licht, Chan, Watson, vuitton, who was
standing right next to Watson when phone offered up, as both
Watson and Byington were approximately 30 feet away from
where "man with a six pack" held the iPhone aloft and offered it
up, and where the closest people to that man when he did so.
please find the attached photographs of the scend, including some
aerial style ones. Please have your investigators utilize these in
making some exhibits that map out by location and time each
witnesses version of events, trackign the inconsistencies. Pay
particular attention to Goble and Zarate's claims as to who made
what calls and where they and they other were when they were
made, especially respectign Goble's testimony that UFC Guy (the
one Goble claims he knew the least yet who was most aggressive
with Coughlin) was the one who informed him that his phone was
missing, not Zarate. Then consider Zarate's statement, especially
after looking at the call records, with respect to where he was, who
he was with, and what he was supposedly able to discern. Please
inquire with these witnesses as to just exactly where Coughlin was,
and who was accosting him when the iPhone allegedly lit up. And
remember, they are locked into their story that they only saw it
light up once, yet you indicate the subpoena returned call records
showing an 11:21 pm call, and an 11:26 pm call (please provide the
call times and durations for all of the calls the iPhone logged in or
out the entire day of August 20th, 2011 and August 21st, 2011.

Further, please interview Goble, Zarate, Licthy, Templeton, and
Dawson and "UFC Guy" and provide me a recording thereof,
especially with respect to just exactly what Officer Duralde said to
anyone, and what was said to Officer Duralde during the mminutes
between 11:21 pm and 11:45 pm, with special emphasis on that
period of time on the arrest video between the 2:30 mark and the
point of arrest and point at which Duralde purports to have "heard
the iPhone vibrating", despite there being no such sound
accompanying the point on the video wherein Duralde makes the
arrest, and punctuates it with a "How's that" similar to the "or we'll
call the Nevada Bar and let them know how you cooperated with
our investigation, how's that runnin for ya" line uttered by RPD
Officer Rosa during the detaining?

In Nevada, its is very important to consider whether the requisite
intent was there at the time of the alleged act constituting theft. In
this case, clearly, that it was not possible for such intent to be
present at the time of the "taking". Intent of finder: Every taking
by one person of the personal property of another without his
consent is not larceny; and this although it is taken without right or
claim of right. Superadded to this there must be a felonious intent,
without which there can be no crime. To render the finder of lost
goods guilty of larceny an intent to convert them absolutely to his
own use must coexist with the act of finding. If such intent does
not exist at the time of the finding, but, instead, the finder intends
to restore the property to the owner, a subsequent concealment,
or fr audulent appr opr iation, does not constitute lar ceny.

Subject: Coughlin: Petit Larceny trial
Mr. Coughlin:

In response to your inquiry about getting transcripts of the proceedings in the petit larceny trial. After
reviewing the JAVS recordings and obtaining an estimate of the transcription costs, we have determined
that having the proceedings transcribed would be too costly. I respectfully note that the inordinate
length of the proceedings, which gives rise to the excessive cost of transcription, is the result primarily of
your behavior during court hearings.

We can, however, provide a copy of the audio recordings if you want that. If so, I can start the process of
obtaining an audio of the trial proceedings for you. I note that you personally requested from the Court
the audio of the proceedings. Were you provided those?

You can also consult your handwritten and/or computer notes. I noticed during the trial you were typing
extensively during the proceedings.

Please let me know if you want audio recordings of the trail proceedings and I can start that process.

Thank you.
