I. PREAMBLE & NATURE OF THE CASE
26 A. The shocking facts of this case would continue to frustrate and anger
27 Plaintiff and for sure will surprise the Court and Jury after they learn from Plaintiff’s wrongful
28
WRONGFUL TERMINATION COMPLAINT-EMPLOYMENT

Page 1 of 2
1 termination complaint something completely different about the Defendant, the Regents of the
2 University of California (hereafter Defendant). The Court and the Jury will learn from Plaintiff’s,
3 Jaroslaw Waszczuk’s (pronounced Yaroslav Vashchook) (hereafter Plaintiff), wrongful
4 termination complaint that the perfect image of the University of California was created because
5 of the exceptional and outstanding education system that is globally recognized.
6 The Court and Jury also will learn from Plaintiff’s wrongful termination complaint
7 and will be shocked and surprised that the Defendant, to preserve this perfect, globally recognized
8 image of the University of California, would not hesitate to give orders to their officers and agents
9 to provoke and assassinate their own employee, the 61-year-old Plaintiff, using the university
10 police force. It happened on May 31, 2012, because Plaintiff became the subject of the Defendant’s
11 suspicious six-year-long paranoia that Plaintiff knew about the Defendant’s and the Defendant’s
12 agents and officers’ misconduct, corruption, unlawful business practices and criminally minded
13 activities in relation to the UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant operation, where Plaintiff
14 worked from 1999 to 2007, and that Plaintiff would disclose this information to federal authorities.
15
B. The Court and the Jury will freeze in stunned disbelief, mouths agape, when they
16
learn that the Defendant create, encourage, and maintain a climate and culture in which managers,
17
supervisors, human resource personnel, investigators, executive directors, police officers, and
18
senior officials consistently, invariably, and repeatedly undertake actions to retaliate, harass, abuse,
19
and bully any staff who formerly or informally reports misconduct, discrimination, harassment,
20
and/or abuse.
21
C. They act embolden and brazen in fabricating investigations, fabricating reasons for
22
the adverse employment actions, constructing biased reports with knowledge the report will be
23
considered evidence, not interviewing key witnesses even though reports refer to statements
24
(claimed to be destroyed) from those un-interviewed witnesses. Literally, Federal government
25
investigators, union presidents, human resource consultants, journalists, and many other credible
26
professionals have been and continue to be incensed, outraged, and frustrated by the climate and
27
culture at University of California that thumbs their noses at the very laws they are supposed to
28

Page 2 of 3
1 enforce. The unlawful conduct of these self-expressed guardians and protectors of the law is,
2 almost without exception, accepted, condoned, and/or ratified up through to the highest paid and
3 highest ranking positions within the UC system.
4 D. By all metrics and parameters, the cabal and actions of these ‘people’ in furtherance
5 of it against the liberty interests of Plaintiff, as well as the best interests of University of California
6 is heretofore without equal in the mounting number of wrongful termination cases filed against
7 Defendant . This case demonstrates Defendant, by and through its managers, supervisors, and more
8 senior officials, knowingly violate the mandate of their own procedures and intentionally deprive
9 employees of due process.
10 E. In this matter, they set about to emotionally harm and extract from the workplace
11 61 old Plaintiff who, from 1999 to approximately April 2011, supervisors, including the main
12 complainer, described as an outstanding, responsible, dependable, and loyal employee of the
13 University of California. His yearly evaluations invariably described him as a very valuable
14 employee, that he could be counted on to make the right operational decisions, that he is very
15 conscientious and thorough, and dedicated to the future success of the University of California .
16 Plaintiff performed his job flawlessly without every receiving a complaint of any kind
17 F. This case establishes that Defendant have, unilaterally and of their own volition,
18 abandoned and discarded their obligations, responsibilities, and mandated duties as set forth in the
19 written, but not followed, Policies and Procedures Staff Manual (PPSM) and the written, but not
20 followed, Whistleblower Protection Policy. The Defendant, unilaterally and of their own volition
21 rendered illusory and inactive the policies and procedures written and intended as a fair, impartial,
22 and reasonable process to resolve challenges to adverse employment actions. Therefore, any
23 public policy interests favoring Defendant’s policies and procedures are minimal at best. Whereas
24 the actions, behavior, and conduct of the Defendant, Defendant’s managers, supervisors, and
25 senior officials are so repugnant, so unlawful and so improper, that public policy and the interests
26 of a safe, healthy, and well run hospital facility heavily outweigh the policies and procedures does
27 not see fit to follow. A cursory review of civil complaints filed in Federal Court and State Court
28

Page 3 of 4
1 over the recent few years demonstrates a significant number of complaints, with every one of them
2 alleging the same thing, retaliation for whistleblowing without any meaningful, fair, impartial, or
3 just procedures that allows a finding that the people supposedly implementing the fair procedures
4 are actually undermining, discriminating, and retaliating against the whistleblower in abusive,
5 destructive, and deceitful ways. A message must be sent to Defendant to force the Defendant to
6 change, to force them to understand they cannot hold the law up in one hand and actually use an
7 unlawful, very harmful, and concealed weapon hidden in their other hand. Too many people have
8 been hurt, have died, and will die if the judiciary does not take this opportunity to change our
9 community, our City, our area, and out State for the better.
10 G. Plaintiff primary duties were no small or trivial matters. To the contrary, Plaintiff
11 was solely responsible from June 1999 to March 2007 for operation and maintenance of the 27
12 MW cogeneration power plant in which provides utilities for the UC Davis Medical Center ,
13 In February 2009 Plaintiff was promoted to the position of the Associate Development Engineer
14 in UC Davis Medical Center HVAC shop and was responsible for operating UC Davis Medical
15 Center Metises Control System which is used to monitor and dispatch critical alarms in the
16 Medical Center , to detect, identify, and locate malfunctioning, failed, and/or failing machinery
17 and equipment, such as air conditioning units, heating units, refrigeration units, freezer units,
18 elevators, generators, and a host of other machines necessary and vital to the health, safety, and
19 welfare of patients and . Beside the above Plaintiff was responsible to back up servers, repair
20 computers if needed and review and close the work orders for HVAC shop crew.

18 creation, powers, and authority from the California Constitution. UC Davis, University of
19 California Davis Health System, and UC Davis Medical Center are not legally recognized as
20 entities separate from THE REGENTS UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA and therefore cannot
21 be sued or sue in their own right. However, UC Davis is a sub-organization of THE REGENTS
22 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA that is, and was at all relevant times, tasked with, among
23 other responsibilities, implementing, supervising, and managing daily, short-term, and long-

5 care facility, regional trauma center, medical research facility, and teaching hospital. Each
6 sub-organization is structured and holds itself out to the public as separate but associated
7 entities. Therefore, allegations and references in this complaint to “Plaintiff’s employer”,
8 “employer”, “medical center”, UC Davis and/or UCD mean and include THE REGENTS OF
9 THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA and its sub-organizations.
10 3. Defendant , the Regents of the University of California reside in Oakland ,

10
Plaintiff complied, or substantially complied, with administrative processes and procedures then
11
in place for each cause of action associated with said administrative process or procedure. As to
12
each cause of action alleged herein pursuant to California’s “Whistleblower” statute, Plaintiff
13
alleges that he timely filed a complaint with the person identified by UC DAVIS as being the
14
person UC DAVIS designated to receive such complaints; UC DAVIS accepted the complaint;
15
UC DAVIS had 120 days to act on and/or issue a decision on Plaintiff’s complaint, unless UC

Page 9 of 10
1 discarding, and/or disregarding critical aspects of their rules, processes, and procedures.
2 Defendant ignored, discarded, and/or disregarded their rules, processes, and procedures as they
3 concern a fair, impartial, and unbiased investigation, as they concern the retention and availability
4 of evidence, as they concern the prohibition against utilizing investigatory leaves as a subterfuge
5 to delay the process and to annoy, harass, and intimidate Plaintiff, and in other ways not yet known
6 or not yet knowable. These rules, processes, and procedures are, and were, in place to provide
7 employees, such as and including Plaintiff, a fair, equitable, and just opportunity to challenge or
8 contest the accusations leveled against him. By virtue of the foregoing, the allegations contained
9 herein, and the evidence adduced in court, Plaintiff’s due process rights require a finding that
10 Plaintiff is, and was, excused from initiating, following, and/or exhausting any employer
11 administrative policies and procedures for all actionable conduct in this action because defendants
12 with malice and complete disregard of it is own policies and rules deprived Plaintiff of available
13 administrative remedies to resolve the conflict.
14
IV. THE STATEMENT OF FACTS
15
16 The Perfect Image of the University of California

17
20. The University of California is governed by the Board of Regents. It has 10
18
campuses, a combined population of 238,700 students, 19,700 faculty members, 135,900 staff
19
members and over 1.6 million living alumni.. Seven of its undergraduate campuses are ranked
20
among the top 100, six among the top 50, and two among the top 25 U.S. universities for 2015,
21
public or private, according to U.S. News & World Report. Among public schools, two of its
22
undergraduate campuses are ranked in the top 5 (UC Berkeley at 1 and UCLA at 2), five in the
23
top 10 (UC San Diego at 8, UC Davis at 9, and UC Santa Barbara at 10), and all except the
24
newly opened UC Merced are in the top 100 (UC Irvine at 11, UC Santa Cruz at 35, UC
25
Riverside at 55, according to U.S. News & World Report rankings 2015[5]). UC Berkeley is
26
ranked third worldwide among public and private universities and two others—UCLA and UC
27
San Diego—are ranked among the top 15 by the Academic Ranking of World Universities
28

Page 10 of 11
1 21. Plaintiff was employed by the Defendant, the Regents of the University California
2 (hereafter “Defendant”) with the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento,
3 California, from June 1999 as a cogeneration power plant operator and associate development
4 engineer. Plaintiff’s employment was wrongfully and without a valid cause terminated by the
5 Defendant in December 2012 after 13 years of service and at the age of 61.
6 22. Besides regular duties at the UC Davis Medical Center, Plaintiff occasionally
7 provided representation or assistance for non-union employees and, on two occasions, for union-
8 represented employees in their complaints filed under the provision of UC Davis Policy PPSM
9 70 and the UC Davis Whistleblowing Retaliation Protection Policy PPM 380-17.
10 23. Plaintiff, in the course of his employment with the UC Davis Medical Center,
11 noticed, observed, and experienced by representing other employees, many publications, and his
12 own experiences that the Defendant created two different climates and images of the University
13 of California campuses.
14 The perfect image of the University of California is the exceptional and
15 outstanding education system that is globally recognized.
16 The Different Image of the University of California
17 24. As early as 2000, a climate and culture existed at the employer’s medical center in
18 Sacramento and its university campus in Davis that subjected staff to a hostile work environment,
19 including but not limited to, sustained abuse, bullying, discrimination, retaliation for
20 whistleblowing, harassment of all kinds, intimidation, favoritism, nepotism, health and safety
21 violations, falsification of documentation, fear of retaliation for reporting misconduct, and research
22 misconduct.
23 25. As early as 2000, the employer published rules, procedures, and policies that
24 express, claim, and state that the employer is committed to a culturally diverse and otherwise
25 lawful and healthy environment. The employer’s rules, procedures, and written material espouse
26 cultural diversity, promotion of a safe workplace, no tolerance for bullying or abuse, no tolerance
27 for exclusion or discrimination, and open disclosure without retribution for reporting report waste,
28 fraud, abuse of authority, violation of law, or threat to public health.

Page 11 of 12
1 26. In truth and in fact, the employer aided, helped, allowed, and/or directly caused a
2 climate and culture of harassment, abuse, intimidation, and retaliation. The employer did not
3 implement, follow, and/or adhere to the substance of the employer’s written procedures, rules, and
4 policies. Consequently, UC DAVIS’ lack of enforcement of their policies rendered their rules,
5 procedures, and processes ineffective, defective, and illusory.
6 27. The employer allowed and/or contributed to the illusion of a harmonious workplace
7 that promoted resolution of workplace disputes in a fair and reasonable manner without harassment,
8 abuse, intimidation, or retaliation. Further, the employer allowed and/or contributed to the illusion
9 that promoted open disclosure without retribution for reporting waste, fraud, abuse of authority,
10 violation of law, or threat to public health.
11 28. The following represents some of the evidence of the employer’s climate and
12 culture of sustained abuse, bullying, discrimination, retaliation for whistleblowing, harassment of
13 all kinds, intimidation, retaliation, favoritism, nepotism, health and safety violations, falsification
14 of documentation, fear of retaliation for reporting misconduct, and research misconduct;
15 a) In May 2000, Plaintiff became involved in a UC Davis Medical
16 Center Integrated Access Unit case as an advisor to employees who
17 were abruptly removed from their jobs. Four workers became the
18 target of vicious and unscrupulous retaliatory action by management
19 for complaining about the safety issues in the department. They
20 were escorted off campus, suspended without pay, and placed on
21 investigatory leave. One of the complaining workers was accused of
22 serious misconduct and received a letter of dismissal. Assembly
23 Member Sarah Reyes, State Senator Deborah V. Ortiz and
24 Assembly Member Darrell Steinberg intervened with UC Davis
25 Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef and brought four suspended
26 employees back to work;
27 b) In 2000, Plaintiff communicated to his manager that there were
28

Page 12 of 13
1 serious safety issues with risks of serious injury or death related to
2 safe operation of the central plant. Plaintiff ultimately had to report
3 the serious safety problems to CAL/OSHA. CAL/OSHA inspected
4 the plant and issued citations. The employer fixed the safety risks
5 only after CAL/OSHA issued citations. During the course of this
6 events, Plaintiff’s manager stated "Somebody will give this Polack
7 a bad evaluation and will fire him”
8
9 29. The other not-so-perfect image of the University of California that is far less
10 recognized is the violent, discriminating uprisings on the UC campuses. The violation of

employees’ civil and human rights is internally notorious although nobody externally would
11
believe it because of this entity’s outside image. It is a normal procedure for the University of
12
California administration and management to threaten workers beyond human decency if an
13
employee dares to complain about anything.
14
30. For fiscal year 2015–2016, the UC Regents allocated $24,742,000 for
15
employment practices liability to pay and conceal its discrimination and violation of employee
16
civil and human rights, rather than spending this huge amount of financial resources to hire
17
qualified job managers and supervisors and for proper training to supervise personnel. The list of
18
Defendant’ violations of employees’ civil and human rights, fraud, provocations, and unpunished
19
criminal activities and cover-ups is lengthy and has long history.
20
31. The enormous $22,500,000 fine for Medicaid and Medicare fraud committed by
21
five University of California medical centers
22
32. In 2003, tens of thousands of students were suddenly struck with tuition increases.
23
A class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of 56,864 students who enrolled prior to 2003 in
24
professional majors and students enrolled in the spring and summer 2003 sessions whose tuition
25
was raised after they had already received bills for a lower fee. The lawsuit claimed breach of
26
contract related to fee increases. A San Francisco judge has ruled that the University of
27
California must pay a $33.8 million class action settlement.
28

Page 13 of 14
1 33. In November 2003, $ 18 million settlement has been reached in the class action
2 lawsuit filed on behalf of 3,200 female employees that alleged that the controversial ranking
3 system for most of the lab's administrators, clerical staff and technicians was discriminatory, and
that they were working longer hours for less pay
4
34. In July 2004 a $1.3 million settlement has been reached in the discrimination
5
lawsuit filed by former medical intern David Dixon who alleged that he was dismissed from
6
UCLA's family medicine residency program in 1994 because he is black.
7
8
35. A class action lawsuit was brought against Los Alamos National Laboratory,
9
claiming that the University of California, which ran the laboratory from 1943 until 2006,
10 discriminated against women and Hispanics in pay, promotions, and educational opportunities.
11 As part of a settlement reached in mid 2007, a federal judge ordered a $16.4 million payout.
12 36. In 2007 Karen Moe Humphreys, a former Olympic gold medal swimmer who
13 became a coach and administrator at UC Berkeley, brought a gender discrimination lawsuit
14 against the university. The suit claimed that Humphreys, who worked at UC Berkeley from 1978
15 until she was laid off in 2004, allegedly lost her job in retaliation for complaining about the
16 treatment of women by the university's athletic department. The university denied Humphreys'
17 allegations. It also denied her claim that her layoff was unlawful, though it did agree to pay more
18 than $3.5 million to settle the gender discrimination lawsuit she brought against them. As part of
19 the agreement, Humphreys will be reinstated and then retire in January 2008 when she reaches
20 30 years with the university.
21 37. The imposed penalty $82,500 and proposed imposition of civil penalty in the
22 amount of $220,000 by the U.S. Department of Labor was for the establishment of an
23 unauthorized nuclear facility by the University of California-operated Los Alamos National
24 Laboratory.
25 38. In September 2005, the U.S. Department of Agriculture charged the university
26 with 61 violations of the Animal Welfare Act. The lawsuit claimed UC San Francisco
27 researchers kept animals in dirty cages and over bred them as well as improperly anesthetized
28

Page 14 of 15
1 sheep and kept poor records of monkey studies. The university has agreed to pay the U.S.
2 government a $92,500 fine for alleged violations
3 39. A lawsuit was filed in 2006 by the Coalition for Limiting University Expansion
4 and later joined by the city of Santa Cruz against the University of California, Santa Cruz. The
5 lawsuit accused the campus and its contractor of violating the federal Clean Water Act by
6 allowing water polluted with sediment to migrate from several construction sites into nearby
7 creeks, ponds and groundwater. In a settlement reached, the city and university agreed to revive a
8 stalled project to reduce sediment runoff into the city's Pogonip park, 640 acres of open space
9 below the campus, and ultimately into the San Lorenzo River. UCSC, under the agreement, will
10 pay $110,000 to restore damaged gullies in the Pogonip, UCSC's building company Devcon
11 Construction will contribute engineering and construction services valued at $40,000, and the
12 city will chip in $90,000.
13 40. Michael Burch worked as a wrestling coach for the University of California Davis
14 from 1995 through 2001. In April 2001, Arezou Mansourian and Chris Ng were removed from
15 the team. Burch publicly supported the two female wrestlers when they filed a claim with the
16 Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights. One month later, Burch was informed that he
17 would no longer be retained. He filed a wrongful termination lawsuit claiming the school failed
18 to renew his contract because of his outspoken support for the two female wrestlers. In 2005, the
19 Supreme Court found that the Title IX law protected whistleblowers from adverse action of
20 employers. Michael Burch will receive $725,000 from the University of California to settle the
21 retaliation lawsuit.
22 41. Further, the U.S. Department of Labor proposed the imposition of a civil penalty
23 in the amount of $159,375 for radiological contamination committed by the University of
24 California-operated Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory;
25 42. Anneliese Yuenger died in 1999 at age 82; her family donated her body to the
26 university's medical school. A month later, Yuenger's ashes were returned to the family in a
27 plastic bag. An investigation revealed the ashes came from miscellaneous body parts burned
28

Page 15 of 16
1 several months prior to Yuenger death. An internal review exposed that the university could not
2 determine the final destination of more than 300 bodies donated between January 1995 and
3 August 1999. The University of California Board Of Regents agreed to pay a $500,000
4 settlement to the Yuenger family. The former director's business partner, Christopher Brown, has
5 also agreed to pay the family a $200,000 settlement.
6 43. The amount of $ 5,113,098 was a settlement with the U.S. Department of Justice
7 for the University of California’s Art History Department discrimination against Meribeth
8 Graybill and violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Donna McDaniel, who committed suicide
9 after years of enduring what she considered to be a hostile work environment at UC Davis,
10 44. In February 2001, the Sacramento News and Review (SN&R) article entitled
11 “Standing Up to Bullies” quoted University of California, Davis, employee Jackie Quigg’s letter
12 she sent to an SN&R editor: “I felt bullied, belittled, discriminated powerless and angry.” Jackie
13 Quigg wrote of her experience of working for 13 years in the Ophthalmology Department at the
14 UC.
15 Plaintiff commented with words from Jackie Quigg’s experience in his
16 letter to an SN&R editor dated: February 10, 2001
17 “ Th e ab u sive b e ha v io r mu st b e witn e sse d an d we ll d oc u me n ted
18 in order for this to work. The other issue is that coworkers may be hesitant to
19 testify in court against an employer, the same employer who provides them a
20 paycheck. The fear of a backlash against those who testify is real.
21
Unfortunately, this great dependency for this paycheck will inhibit justice from
22
ever being served and the employer knows this. The power of employer
23
intimidation with no recourse on the part of the employee is in and of itself, the
24
very foundation for an abusive UC employer-employee work relationship. I
25
would like to ask Ms. Quigg if this situation still exists or was it resolved. I
26
need to know because it is hard to believe that anybody could cope with this
27
abuse and humiliation for 13 years. Is this is a true story?”
28

Page 16 of 17
1 Plaintiff’s employment was abruptly terminated after 13 years of abuse and
2 humiliation five years before his retirement at age 61. Jackie Quigg’s 13-year
3 story of abuse was a true story. Unbelievable. The SN&R article also
4 mentioned another story about UC Davis employee Donna McDaniel, who
5
committed suicide after years of enduring what she considered to be a hostile
6
work environment at UC Davis.
7 Police say it was around 3 a.m. on March 16, 2000, when McDaniel stood in
the garden of her gated front yard, leaned the “UC Davis Burnout” sign
8 against a tree, placed the .38 to her right temple, and ended her life.
9
“In making the sign and in using a gun to kill herself (few women who commit
10
suicide use a gun), Dickerson and others say it seems clear that McDaniel
11
wanted to use her death to make a statement.”
12
29. UC Davis Medical Center cogeneration power plant worker Todd Goerlich’s
13
suicide in December 2010 caused by the hostile working environment in the UC Davis Medical
14
15 Center is still unresolved and never was investigated. Todd Georlich’s suicide ten years after UC
16 Davis employee Donna McDaniel tragically took her life is the path of destruction chosen by a
17 pathologically dysfunctional institution run by arrogant and ruthless administrators at the
18 University of California’s ten different campuses.
19 30. UC San Francisco employee Mary Efferen wrote of her "observations and
20 experiences of faculty-staff interactions that were textbook examples of how to humiliate
21 individuals in front of group.
22 31. The University of California, which has contributed so much to the education and
23 the wealth of the state of California and the global community, is a pathologically dysfunctional
24 institution run by arrogant and ruthless administrators," wrote former UC Davis graduate student
25 Leuren Moret.
26 32. The U.S. Department of Labor imposed a civil penalty in the amount of
27 $1,707,000 by the U.S. Department of Energy for multiple violations of law and federal
28 regulations in the Los Alamos National Laboratory. There was also a $9,350 penalty for violation

2 California Los Angeles’
3 33. Deliberate and unlawful discharge of machine oil for seven years to the
4 Sacramento River via a city storm drain from defective gear boxes in the UC Davis Medical
5 Center’s cogeneration power plant facility.
6 34. CAL/OSHA imposed a penalty in the amount of $7, 385,00 for safety violations
7 in the UC Davis Medical Center’s cogeneration power plant facilities that were not related to the
8
unlawful machine oil discharge to the Sacramento River.
9
35. In 2008 the University of California settled a lawsuit brought by Officer Chang, a
10
gay man who was employed as a campus police offer, paying him $240,000.00.
11
36. The University of California has agreed to pay $375,000 to settle a 2008 lawsuit
12
stemming from the suicide of a prison inmate who was under the supervision of university
13
psychiatrists.
14
37. The pepper spray attack against protesting students on November 18, 2011,
15
resulted in a settlement in the amount of $1 million for victims and $250, 000 in legal fees.
16
38. The 2011, an illegal medical experiment conducted by two neurosurgeons at the
17
18 UC Davis Medical Center under the supervision of UC Davis Vice Chancellor Claire Pomeroy
19 resulted in the deaths of several patients.
20 39. In 2011, credit cards embezzlement in the UC Davis Medical Center was
21 uncovered and reported by two UC Davis employees and confirmed by auditor William
Prindible, who conducted an audit. The two employees who reported the credit card
22
embezzlement and 60-year-old auditor, Prindible, were fired from the job and the white-collar
23
UC Davis Medical Center criminals who committed the crime are still being employed by the
24
UC Davis Medical Center. The Prindible’s case ended in a January 2015 settlement in federal
25
court, Plaintiff is unaware of the amount of the sum that was paid to the victimized William
26
Prindible (Federal Court Case No. 2:13-cv-02256-KJM-EFB). On May 30, 2012 ,the University
27
of California administration has unsuccessfully attempted to provoke and kill t Plaintiff or end
28

Page 18 of 19
1 Plaintiff’s employment in the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit # 11 after a witch hunt that
2 lasted more than a year.
3 40. The 2013 UC Davis Climate Survey conducted by Rankin & Associates showed
4 that 24% of UC Davis-surveyed employees (4,000 of 11,500) suffered while working in UC

5 Davis’s hostile and discriminatory work environment. The most recent survey conducted in all
6 UC campuses shows that situation in not better in other in campuses and percentage of
7 suffering , hostile and discriminatory work environment among employees is very high.
8 41. The October 2013 investigation report issued by former State of California
9 Supreme Court Justice Honorable Carlos Moreno stated that several high-profile incidents of
10 racial and ethnic bias and/or discrimination have occurred on the University of California Los
11 Angeles campus in recent years. The Defendant’s climate and culture of sustained abuse,
12 bullying, discrimination, retaliation for whistleblowing, harassment of all kinds, intimidation,
13 retaliation, favoritism, nepotism, health and safety violations, falsification of documentation, fear
14 of retaliation for reporting misconduct, and research misconduct was again publicized in 2014
15 42. In April 2014 the University of California regents agreed to pay $10 million to the
16 former chairman of UCLA's orthopedic surgery department, who had alleged that the well-
17 known medical school allowed doctors to take industry payments that may have compromised
18
patient care.
19
43. On August 11, 2014 a Sacramento jury found in favor of Janet Keyzer in
20
wrongful termination case against UC Regents and awarded damages to her in amount of
21
$730,000.00 plus Plaintiff’ attorney fees and cost amounted over $5,000,000.00.
22
44. Charges are pending in the discrimination case against UC Davis Medical Center
23
with the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed in November 2014 by the UC
24
Davis Medical Center involving a 60-year-old worker who was attacked by UC Davis Medical
25
Center management during his mother’s funeral and upon his return from workers’ compensation
26
disability.
27
28

Page 19 of 20
1 45. The aforementioned examples are just a few of the incidents that illustrate the
2 despicably inhumane working environment the Defendant have created for its employees and how
3 many employees just live in dread of their bosses .
Plaintiff’s Employment with Dynegy Corporation 1989-1998
4
5 46. On October 2, 1989 Plaintiff was hired as a Power Plant Technician by the Power
6 Operating Company (POC) subsidiary of Power System Engineering Company (PSE, Inc.) from
7 Houston, Texas as an Operating Technician of the San Joaquin Cogeneration Power Plant
8 located in Lathrop, CA.
9
47. In 1990 the PSE, Inc. was acquired by the DOW Chemical Company’s subsidiary,
10
Destec Energy, Inc. and later by Dynegy Corporation, which was the competitor of Enron
11
Corporation in electric power generation in the USA.
12
48. The San Joaquin Cogeneration Power Plant was producing 50 MW of electricity
13
per hour and processing water to make high quality steam. The plant is selling electricity to the
14
Pacific Gas and Electric Company by contract and steam to the Auto Glass Manufacturer, Libby
15
Owens Ford, in Lathrop, CA.
16
49. The San Joaquin Cogeneration Power Plant was powered by the LM 5000
17
General Electric aeroderivative gas turbines.
18
19 The aeroderivative gas turbines are used in a variety of applications: - electrical power both for
20 utility baseload and peaking applications in both simple-cycle (gas turbine only) and combined-
21 cycle configurations. Simple-cycle refers to a gas turbine used alone; combined-cycle refers to an
22 application where the exhaust from the gas turbine is used to power a steam turbine to maximize
23 overall system efficiency - in-plant and independent power production and cogeneration (the
24 production of two forms of energy, usually steam and electricity from a single fuel source) in an
25 industrial or institutional facility - mechanical drive requirements, such as compressors, pumps
26 and other loads - marine propulsion of naval and commercial vessels. Industries that use
27 aeroderivative gas turbines include petroleum production, refining and pipeline operations,
28

Page 20 of 21
1 enhanced oil recovery, chemical, food and pulp/paper processing, and institutional electricity and
2 heating for universities, hospitals and prisons. The aeroderivative gas turbines benefit from
3 aircraft engine technology developed to meet the power and reliability.
4 50. The Dynegy’s San Joaquin Cogeneration Plant supposedly was a cogeneration
5 Qualified Facility, which was governed by the Public Utility Regulatory Power Act, known as
6 PURPA. The PURPA Act was enacted in 1978 by the U.S. Congress to promote conservation of
7 energy.
8 51. The San Joaquin Cogeneration Power Plant as a cogeneration Qualified Facility
9 benefited from this status by having a 25% discount on purchase of natural gas from the Pacific
10 Gas and Electric (PG&E) Company and a tax break on the PG&E ratepayers expenses.
11 52. The 1978 Public Utilities Regulatory Policies, which established the guidelines
12 for cogeneration facilities applied to San Joaquin Cogeneration facility, where Plaintiff was
13 employed. The San Joaquin Facility used natural gas as a fuel for a combustion jet engine to
14 produce electricity and exhaust heat to heat water and produce steam. From the beginning of the
15 operation, the San Joaquin Facility has violated PURPA and California Law requirements in
16 order to be a Qualified Cogenerate. The company management was forcing its own employees to
17 release a huge amount of steam into the atmosphere, which was through the PG&E meter to
18 cheat the PURPA requirements instead of utilizing the thermal energy as was required by law. In
19 1994 the company’s senior management was advised by the San Joaquin Plant Manager to
20 resolve the existing problem with the PURPA violation. In retaliation, the mentioned plant
21 manager was fired and escorted out.
22 53. In 1989 the former State of California Chief of Department of Standard Labor
23 Enforcement (DLSE) or State of California Labor Commissioner Jose Milan was allowed to
24 govern the wages and working conditions for the San Joaquin cogeneration power plant in
25 Lathrop and other Dynegy’s cogeneration plants in California using the wrong Industrial Welfare
26 Commission Order (IWC), which was IWC order 4-89 O instead of IWC order 1-89; thus 119
27 Dynegy employees were defrauded of a significant amount of overtime, to which they were
28

Page 21 of 22
1 entitled under IWC Order 1-89.
2 54. In 1985 DLSE Chief Jose Milan was the resident of California and earned a juris
3 doctorate from the University of Houston School of Law; from 1985-1987 Jose Millan was a
4 Field Examiner for the State of California Agricultural Relation Labor Board and Program
5
Coordinator for the State of California Public Utilities Commissioner. In 1987 Mr. Millan
6
became employed by the State of California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement.
7
55. In November 1995 all employees received a memo from the Headquarters in
8
Houston, TX. The memo stated that the employee’s Retirement and Savings Plan 401K was
9
mismanaged and that the Company would not make a Discretionary profit-sharing contribution
10
to the Plan for 1995 (5% percent of annual wages contribution).
11
56. Furthermore, the Independent Auditors’ Report performed on Plaintiff’s
12
employer’s behalf by the Deloitte & Touche LLP disclosed that the 401K Plan is lacking a
13
contribution to the employees’ accounts in the amount of $4,000,000,00 plus interest for the
14
15 years of 1991-1995.
16 57. After the 401K plan retirement fraud disclosure, Plaintiff asked his supervisor
17 about the unpaid overtime mandated by the Welfare Commission Order IWC 1-89 Part of unpaid
18 overtime shall be contributed to employees’ Retirement and Savings Plan 401K plus the
19 employer match contribution in the ratio dollar to dollar up to six percent of employee’s gross
20 annual income. Plaintiff did not have any intention to pursue the overtime issue but just asked
21 the question.
22 The overtime issue would never have surfaced if Plaintiff’s employer would have posted in the
23 Plant’s control room the IWC order 4-89 instead of IWC order 1-89.
24
58. The San Joaquin Cogeneration Plant Manager panicked and alerted the
25
Headquarters, and then IWC order 1-49 was posted on the information board next to IWC order
26
1-89. Shortly after, Plaintiff’s employer hired the prestigious law firm Pillsbury Madison &
27
Sutro LLP and Plaintiff received a letter from Sutro’s lawyer about the IWC order applicability
28

Page 22 of 23
1 for the San Joaquin cogeneration facility. The letter stated that State Labor Commissioner Jose
2 Milan permitted Plaintiff’s employer to utilize IWC Order 4-89 instead of IWC order 1-89.
3 Thereafter Plaintiff became a subject of retaliation and harassment without any reason because
4 Plaintiff had no intention to pursue the overtime issue outside. Plaintiff heard intimidating
5
statements from his supervisors that Hoffa disappeared and the president was killed in USA as
6
well. Plaintiff’s employment became quite unpleasant.
7
59. To stop the further retaliation and intimidation, Plaintiff had no choice but to ask
8
for help from the same state agency the State of California Department of Industrial Relations,
9
Division of the Labor Standard Enforcement, which permitted Dynegy to operate business in the
10
State of California under the wrong Industrial Welfare Commission order and Plaintiff filed a
11
claim with the Labor Commissioner Office in Stockton, CA for unpaid overtime.
12
60. On September 16, 1996, the DLSE Hearing Officer awarded Plaintiff $27,129.21,
13
which in 1996 was a significant amount of money. The Labor Commissioner from the Stockton
14
15 Office overturned his superior’s—the State Labor Commissioner Jose Milan’s—earlier decision
16 to permit Plaintiff’s employer to govern working conditions and pay by IWC order 4-89 instead
17 of IWC 1-89.
18 61. Right after the labor commissioner issued the decision in Plaintiff’s favor,
19 Plaintiff’s employer in retaliation suspended Plaintiff for almost two months without pay and
20 right away appealed the Labor Commissioner Decision in San Joaquin County Superior Court.
21 The Superior Court in Trial de Novo ruled in favor of Plaintiff’s employer.
22 62. Plaintiff appealed the IWC order 1-89 unfavorable the Superior Court Judgment
23 in the State of California Court of Appeal 3th Appellate District by representing himself in Pro
24
Per. The Court of Appeal reversed the Superior Court Judgment and Plaintiff received his unpaid
25
overtime. The other 119 of Plaintiff’s coworkers recovered partially unpaid overtime through the
26
settlement-agreement that Plaintiff’s employer signed with the Division of Labor Standard
27
Enforcement.
28

Page 23 of 24
1 63. Regardless of the fact that the Court of Appeal’s decision in Plaintiff’s case was
2 an unpublished decision, it caused the DLSE to restore the applicability of the IWC Order 1 to
3 govern working conditions and overtime pay for non-exempt employees working on an
4 alternative work schedule in all privately owned power plants in the State of California.
5
64. During the unpleasant dispute about unpaid overtime, the case took a different
6
turn and became a whistleblowing case due to fraudulent and unlawful operation of the San
7
Joaquin cogeneration facility by Plaintiff’s employer. The San Joaquin Cogeneration violated the
8
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission requirements to operate as a Qualified Facility (QF)
9
under the 1978 Public Utility Regulatory Power Act enacted by the U.S. Congress.
10
65. Based on Plaintiff’s information, The Pacific Gas & Electric Company in
11
September 2007 filed a lawsuit against Plaintiff’s employer for fraud and breach of contract and
12
unfair business practices. As the result of filing the lawsuit, PG&E recovered by settlement
13
$100,000,000 for its own ratepayers, of which Plaintiff was one.
14
15 66. In retaliation, Dynegy terminated Plaintiff’s employment in January 1998.
16
17 Plaintiff’s Employment with Genentech Inc., from November 1998 to June 1999
18
19 67. After almost one year of unemployment in November 1998, Plaintiff was hired as
20 Utility Operator by Genentech, Inc. located in the City of South San Francisco.
21 68. Genentech, Inc. was the best employer Plaintiff ever worked for in the United
22 States, taking into consideration benefits and treatment of employees by company management.
23 69. The almost 100 miles distance to Plaintiff’s residence in Lodi to South San
24
Francisco and Plaintiff’s wife’s employment in Nordstrom Inc., Sacramento were deciding
25
factors that led Plaintiff to apply for the Cogeneration Plant Operator position with the UC Davis
26
Medical Center in Sacramento, which was only 32 miles away from Lodi, CA.
27
70. Also the Cogeneration Plant Operator position was a factor to apply for the job
28

Page 24 of 25
1 with UC Davis Medical Center because the job was basically the same as Plaintiff’s job with
2 Dynegy Company in Lathrop, California, where Plaintiff worked for nine years.
3
4 Plaintiff’s Job Description and Employment in UC Davis Medical Center Cogeneration Power
Plant Named “Central Plant “
5
7
71. Defendant hired Plaintiff on June 28, 1999 as a non-exempt senior power
8 plant mechanic or cogeneration power plant operator (hereinafter “plant operator”) to maintain
9 and operate the newly built, state-of-the-art 27 megawatt cogeneration power plant at UC Davis
10 Medical Center, Sacramento, California.
11 72. Besides operating and maintaining the cogeneration facility, Plaintiff was
12 responsible for monitoring and dispatching critical alarms on the day shift at the UC Davis
13 Medical Center via the computerized Metasys system, which was also programmed to
14 continuously monitor and record how much electricity, steam, hot water, and chilled water was
15 being generated by the central plant. The Metasys system was also designed to start up and shut
16 down heating and air conditioning equipment (HVAC), as well as to adjust temperatures in the
17
administration and hospital patients’ rooms per request from working personnel at the UC Davis
18
Medical Center.
19
73. The UC Davis Medical Center’s cogeneration power plant, named the
20
“Central Plant,” includes a General Electric LM 2500—a 23 MW jet combustion gas turbine; a
21
heat recovery steam generator (HRSG)—a 4 MW back pressure steam turbine with capacity to
22
produce 89,000,00 pounds of steam per hour; four auxiliary steam boilers with 25,000-pound-
23
per-hour capacities for steam from each boiler; three centrifugal chillers; and three absorption
24
chillers that can produce 13,400 tons of chilled water per hour. The Central Plant also has five 2-
25
MW emergency diesel generators and other auxiliary heavy industrial-type machinery, including
26
27 a cooling tower, pumps, an ammonia injection system, a water demineralizer, a condenser, and a
28 chemical-injecting system.

Page 25 of 26
1 74. The UC Davis Medical Center’s peak load demand for electricity in
2 summer is 17 MW of electricity, 45,000 lb./hr. steam, and 10,000 tons/hr. of chilled water (spare
3 capacity: 10 MW of electricity).
4 75. The UC Davis Medical Center’s maximum load demand for electricity in
5
winter is 8 MW of electricity, 45,000 lb./hr. steam, and 10,000.00 tons/hr. of chilled water (spare
6
capacity: 19 MW of electricity).
7
76. The above numbers translated also of massive waste of energy, water,
8
extra and in huge amount of unnecessary emission of the two air pollutants carbon dioxide,
9
nitrous oxide beside of increasing the costs of the plant operation cost .
10
77. The California Air Resources Board (ARB) is the state agency
11
responsible for providing implementation mechanisms, regulatory guidance and enforcement of
12
Assembly Bill 32 (AB32). AB32 includes statutory requirements requiring inventorying,
13
reporting and verification of GHG emissions, depending upon size and source type. UC Davis is
14
15 subject to these reporting requirements. Facilities that emit 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide
16 or its equivalent (MTCO2e) are required to report their annual emissions to the USEPA, and both
17 the Davis and Sacramento campuses have facilities that emit over 25,000 MTCO2e.
18 78. The 10 MW of electricity not produced and not sold during the summer
19 peak equals millions of dollars of lost revenue over 17 years of the Central Plant’s operations.
20 However if 10 MW extra of electricity was produced and was sold during the summer than
21 peak equals millions of dollars in extra revenue over 17 years of the Central Plant’s operations ;
22 79. Prior to building the cogeneration plant, the UC Davis Medical Center
23 Campus sourced electricity from the local publically owned utility, Sacramento Municipal Utility
24
District (SMUD). The oversized cogeneration plant right before energy deregulation in California,
25
and during that turbulent period, the UC Davis Medical Center took advantage of the opportunity to
26
generate and sell power to SMUD. When the power market deregulation took place cogeneration
27
facility was selling power at for the on the open market for higher bid via California Independent
28

Page 26 of 27
1 System Operator . Manipulation of power market caused power shortage and blackout in California
2 and in some day’s prices of electricity went up 800%. As the California Public Utility Commission
3 changed rules about generating and selling, the UC Davis Medical Center cogeneration facility
4 stopped generating and selling power for the spot market. However, in order to operate the
5 cogeneration plant LM 2500 jet engine operational off peak hours the cogeneration plant still sends
6 power to SMUD
7
8 The Federal Law Requirements to Build and Operate Cogeneration Facility

9
10
80. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Public
11
Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) mandate that any cogeneration facility
12
certified and recognized by law as “the qualified cogeneration facility” must meet special
13
requirements in the ratio between electric energy production and thermal energy production.
14
A cogeneration facility is a generating facility that:
15
“sequentially produces electricity and another form of useful thermal energy
16
(such as heat or steam) in a way that is more efficient than the separate
17
production of both forms of energy. For example, in addition to the production
18
19 of electricity, large cogeneration facilities might provide steam for industrial
20 uses in facilities such as paper mills, refineries, or factories, or for HVAC
21 applications in commercial or residential buildings. Smaller cogeneration
22 facilities might provide hot water for domestic heating or other useful
23 applications. In order to be considered a qualifying cogeneration facility, a

24 facility must meet all of the requirements of 18 C.F.R. §§ 292.203(b) and
25 292.205 i5 for operation, efficiency and use of energy output, and be certified
26 as a QF pursuant to 18 C.F.R. § 292.207. There is no size limitation for
27 qualifying cogeneration facilities.”

1 81. Plaintiff is familiar with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s
2 regulation and PURPA because, prior to his employment with the UC Davis Medical Center,
3 Plaintiff worked for a private corporation with a similar cogeneration facility that did not meet
4 FERC and PURPA requirements to be certified as a “qualified cogeneration facility.” Plaintiff’s
5
previous employer committed enormous fraud against Pacific Gas and Electric Company
6
ratepayers and settled out of court for $100 million. The $100 million fraud occurred after only six
7
years of unlawful cogeneration facility operations similar to UC Davis Medical Center
8
cogeneration plant.
9
82. Based on the figures provided above regarding electricity, steam, and
10
chilled water production at the UC Davis Medical Center cogeneration plant, it is questionable
11
whether the UC Davis Cogeneration Facility operates according to FERC and PURPA law and
12
regulations.
13
83. Regardless of the $100 million fraud committed by Plaintiff’s previous
14
15 employer against Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Plaintiff’s previous employer was very
16 safety oriented and strictly enforced safety rules. It had outstanding safety rules and safety
17 training for employees. Plaintiff was hazmat certified and a first responder, and knew CPR.
18 Plaintiff had no problem adapting to UC Davis Medical Center, where safety rules and
19 regulations were disregarded and ignored by management and safety trainings were unknown
20 and viewed as unnecessary burdens and hassles.
21 84. UC Davis Medical Center’s state-of-the-art cogeneration facility, which
22 cost $70 million to build, was commissioned with many serious safety problems and hazards,
23 endangering working personnel and raising Plaintiff’s concern about his safety and that of his
24
coworkers, many of whom had little or no working experiences in power plant environments.
25
The State of California Law and International Law which Classified Cogeneration Power
26 Plants as a Manufacture and Industrial Facility
27 85. By State of California Industrial Welfare Commission Order #1, all power
28

Page 28 of 29
1 plants, including cogeneration facilities, are classified as manufacturing facilities and “Electricity
2 is a commodity which, like other goods, can be manufactured, transported and sold.” The Court
3 held in Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corp. v. Superior Court (1962) 208 Cal. App. 2d 803, 81 that
4 the sale of a commodity is regulated by international law.
5
86. It is a question of law whether the University of California, as a non-profit
6
organization, can deliberately build, own, and operate an oversized cogeneration facility for the
7
primary purpose of producing and selling electric energy (a commodity) for profit by the
8
contract to the municipal utilities company or on the open market without meeting the
9
qualifications and requirements of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as a “Qualified
10
Cogeneration Facility “
11
“Any applicant seeking QUALIFYING fACILITY ( QF)) status or
12
recertification of QF status for a generating facility with a net power
13
production capacity greater than 1000 kW must file a self-certification or an
14
15 application for Federal Energy Regulatory Commission(FERC) certification
16 of QF status, which includes a properly completed 14 pages long Form 556.
17 Certain lines in this form will be automatically calculated based on responses
18 to previous lines, with the relevant formulas shown. You must respond to all of
19 the previous lines within a section before the results of an automatically

20 calculated field will be displayed. Applicants are required to file their Form
21 556 electronically through the Commission's e-Filing website. Pursuant to
22 18 C.F.R. § 292.207(a)(ii), applicant must provide a copy of self-certification or request
23 for Commission certification to the utilities with which the facility will interconnect
24
and/or transact, as well as to the State regulatory authorities of the states in which your
25
facility and those utilities reside. An applicant submitting a self-certification of QF
26
status should expect to receive no documents from the Commission, other than
27
the electronic acknowledgement of receipt described above. Consistent with its
28

Page 29 of 30
1 name, a self-certification is a certification by the applicant itself that the
2 facility meets the relevant requirements for QF status, and does not involve a
3 determination by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as to the status
4 of the facility. “

87. On August 6, 2012 UC Davis Medical Center Associate Vice Chancellor for
6
Diversity and Inclusion Dr. Shelton Duruisseau gave an interview to the Sacramento-based
7
African-American magazine Sub Cultural Hub. The interview was conducted by Donna Michelle
8
Ramos on and was entitled “A Look Back.”
9
Dr. Shelton Duruisseau, by his statement, confirmed that the UC Davis Medical Center 27 MW
10
oversized cogeneration plant was built primarily to produce electric power for sale and profit
11
instead of to provide utilities for the UC Davis Medical Center.
12
13 88. Itis also a question of law whether the Defendant committed

14 negligent hiring, fraud and misrepresentation by employing Plaintiff and other UC Davis Medical
15 Center cogeneration plant personnel and failing to provide information that the cogeneration plant
16 was being operated in violation of the federal law and regulations and could be subject to shut
17 down and personnel could face unemployment if violations were disclosed.
18
89. It is also a question of law whether the University of California, Davis, Medical
19
Center, as a higher education school of medicine, hospital and nonprofit organization, violated the
20
State of California Revenue and Taxation Code by engaging in commercial operation of a
21
cogeneration power plant business based on an electric power agreement with public or private utility
22
companies and made millions of dollars in profit from seventeen years of operation.
23
90. It is also a question of law whether the University of California, Davis, Medical
24
Center, as a higher education school of medicine, hospital and nonprofit organization, violated the
25
Internal Revenue Service’s Code Section 501(c)(3) by engaging in commercial operation of a
26
cogeneration power plant business based on an electric power agreement with public or private utility
27
companies and made millions of dollars in profit from seventeen years of operation. An organization
28

Page 30 of 31
1 that produces unrelated business income as a result of its unrelated trade or business may have to
2 pay taxes on that income.
3 91. It is also a question of law whether the University of California, Davis, Medical
4 Center, as a higher education school of medicine, hospital and nonprofit organization, violated the
5 Internal Revenue Service’s Code Section 501(c)(3 by using the revenue from the commercial
6 operation of a cogeneration power plant business to increase and maintain salary for UC Davis
7 Medical Center executives, management and UC Davis Medical Center cogeneration plant
8 personnel.
9 92. For example, in 2011, UC Davis Medical Center Chief Executive Officer Ann
10
Madden Rice was granted a raise of nearly $259,000, bringing her compensation to $960,000 a
11
year. UC Davis Vice Chancellor Claire Pomeroy, who was in charge of the UC Davis Medical
12
Center School of Medicine, was given a raise of nearly $27,000, bringing her compensation to
13
$664,275.
14
Funding for Rice’s and Pomeroy’s salaries comes from hospital fees, not the state’s general fund.
15
93. In December 2010, an exclusive 12% pay raise for UC Davis Medical Center
16
cogeneration plant operation resulted in four cogeneration plant operators’ blackmail petition
17
submitted to UC Davis Medical Center management, which stated that operators can no longer
18
operate the plant if they will not get a pay increase.
19
20
UC Davis Health System Executive Director Stephen Chilcott’s salary was increased from
21 $208,000 to $274,000 in four years, from 2010 to 2014.
22 94. UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Manager Charles
23 Witcher, who is responsible for maintenance and operation of the cogeneration plant by his title
24 and position, received $64,000.00 in salary increase from his promotion to this position in 2007
25 to 2014. (Charles Witcher has a high school education only and has no qualification for this
26 position.)
27 95. UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Manager Charles
28

Page 31 of 32
1 Witcher, who is responsible for the maintenance and operation of the cogeneration plant by his
2 title and position, received a $64,000 salary increase from his promotion to this position in 2007
3 through 2014. (Charles Witcher has a high school education and has no qualification for this
4 position.)
5
96. It appears from the accessible public documents from the Federal Regulatory Energy
6
Commission’s Library that the UC Davis Medical Center, Central Plant is not the PURPA’s
7
Qualified Cogeneration (QF) facility and is not certified by FERC for legal operation and power
8
sale. However, if the UC Davis Medical Center, Central Plant was certified by FERC by the
9
Defendant’s self-certification, then it was done by fraud by inserting false data into FERC’s
10
required self-certification form.
11
97. Furthermore, if the UC Davis Medical Center, Central Plant was certified by
12
FERC, then would not have a problem obtaining a power-sale contract with the Sacramento
13
Municipal Utility District or selling surplus electrical energy on the spot market via the
14
15 California Independent System Operator (ISO)
16 98. Contrary to the UC Davis Medical Center, Central Plant, the UC San Diego
17 Cogeneration Plant, which is owned and operated by the Defendant (like the UC Davis Medical
18 Center Central), has no problem selling surplus energy on the spot market. The UC San Diego
19
Cogeneration Plant filed self-certification with FERC on May 24, 2000 according to FERC’s
20
Docket No. QF 00-63-001.
21
99. In addition to the above, the UC San Diego Cogeneration Qualified
22
Facility in 2010 received a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy and installed
23
the world’s first microgrid master controller and related optimizer application. The Smart Grid
24
25 functions as a virtual power plant, scheduling energy self-generation, electricity imports, and
26 electric and thermal storage while factoring in the demand load and the variable price of
27
electricity to buy or sell.
28

Page 32 of 33
1 100. The question concerns why the UC Davis Medical Central Plant has no Smart
2 Grid and cannot generate the sale of the huge amount of energy sitting in the 70 million state-of-
3 the-art 27 MW cogeneration facility or transmit the surplus energy to the UC Davis campus,
4 which is entirely dependent on outside energy sources, which are very expensive.
5 101. The question also concerns why the Defendant decided to invest and build 70
6 million 27 MW cogeneration facility for the UC Davis Medical Center that cannot be operated at
7 full capacity, losing approximately $100 million over the last 10 years instead of building a
8 bigger cogeneration facility for the UC Davis campus, which is entirely dependent on outside
9 energy sources.
10 102. According to the 2014 University Of California Annual Report Of Sustainable
11 Practices, the UC became a registered Electric Service Provider (ESP). As an ESP, the university
12 is able to self-supply electricity to its direct-access accounts. The self-supply electricity began
13 being generated in 2015. The 2014 UC Report of Sustainable Practices is, for the most part,
14 misleading and fraudulent in regard to green-gas emission on the campuses, especially the UC
15 Berkeley campus, and it is related to the operation of the cogeneration facility not owned or
16 operated by the Defendant but rather located on the UC Berkeley campus.
17 103. The question is as follows: Why is the Defendant, who registered as an ESP,
18 unable to operate the UC Davis Medical, Center Plant at full capacity and provide the energy to
19 other UC campuses, especially the UC Davis campus, or sell the energy on the spot market via
20 ISO?
21 104. Instead of hunting down the Plaintiff like an animal since 2006 for no reason
22 with a criminally minded attempt to assassinate the Plaintiff on May 31, 2012 and destroy the
23 Plaintiff’s life and his livelihood, the Defendant should take care of business and get a contract
24 for the sale of power from the UC Davis Medical Center, Central Plant. The Defendant should
25
also take care of those who attacked Plaintiff and misinformed the Defendant for the own
26
personal financial gain that Plaintiff will harm University business in relation to the UC Davis
27

The Plaintiff’s Complaint with the State of California Division of Occupational Safety and
4 Health (DOSH), Better Known as Cal/OSHA in December 2000
5
6 105. The UC Davis Medical Center Cogeneration Power Plant/Central Plant
7 was commissioned in 1998 as a state- of-the-art facility, but for some reason was unfinished. As
8 a result, Central Plant equipment was unsafe to operate and posed life-threatening danger to
9 personnel. A power plant’s working environment is dangerous by nature, and if safety rules and
10 regulations are not followed, it will lead to disastrous consequences. Plaintiff came to Central
11 Plant from a very safety-oriented company and was shocked when, in 2000, Central Plant’s
12 manager said in front of other employees, “Somebody give this Polack a bad evaluation and
13 fire him,” after Plaintiff suggested some safety improvements. Plaintiff’s coworker Eduardo
14 Espinosa was so terrified by the Central Plant manager’s statement that he wrote a letter to UC
15 Vice President Judith Boyette and complained than quit his job. A Cal/OSHA intervention was
16 needed to convince the UCDMC Plant Operation and Maintenance (PO&M) Department
17 Management to improve the safety and fix some problems with unsafe equipment that should
18 have been fixed without Cal/OSHA intervention.
19 106. The arrogance of the PO&M Department Management was unbelievable
20 and unacceptable. The Cal/OSHA intervention fixed some minor problems, but major safety
21 problems in Central Plant went unnoticed or deliberately ignored by the Cal/OSHA inspector,
22 and there is not any record that Central Plant personnel were interviewed. The most dangerous
23 place was the oily cement floor underneath the cooling tower, which drained oil to the
24 Sacramento River via storm drain, but was unnoticed by the inspecting Cal/OSHA personnel.
25 Coincidently, when the Cal/OSHA inspection took place, Plaintiff was on his days off from
26 work.
27 107. In 2000, Plaintiff wrote in his Brief to Cal/OSHA:
28

Page 34 of 35
1 “Plaintiff believes that symbolic monetary penalties type ‘slap on the wrist’ is
2 a joke in contrary to the occurred safety violations and total ignorance of the
3 law by UCDMC Management. However, presence of the Cal/OSHA inspectors
4 in the facility had an “enormous impact and encouragement” for my employer
5 and direct supervisor to correct some problems with safety in the plant.”
6 108. Furthermore, Plaintiff wrote:
7 “The UCDMC like the other divisions of the UC System enjoys liberty and independence from
8 the State of California legislature and state agencies which enforcing wages and working
9 condition in private sector. This status was affirmed not only by the Government Codes but also
10 on many occasions by the Appellate Courts of the State of California. It is great that students and
11 professors, researchers and scientists have such unrestricted autonomy to freely work for the
12 good of people. The University of California has great prestige in this State as well in the nation.
13
However, it looks like the ordinary workers in this entity who provides services every day for
14
these great researchers, professors, students, and scientists keep them warm at winter time and
15
cool at summer time, these who keep this whole system running without failure have been
16
somehow forgotten and they are object of abuse, discrimination as well are being exposed to
17
unsafe working environment which is a subject of this response. It is unknown for me why the
18
workers are being treated this way in this high education prestigious school. I was very
19
concerned and worried seeing supervisors’ memos where he was calling his subordinates damn
20
or stupid or threatening others to fire them on spot in the place where employment is not at will.
21
Intimidation, ignorance, negligence, threats, power trip, unprofessional remarks toward
22
23 subordinates, lack of personal culture of the superiors replaced common sense, proper training,
24 normal working environment and human dignity and rights. The safety rules and laws were
25 replaced by intimidation, letters of warning, and suspension from work. Where is this
26 management’s philosophy coming from?”
27 109. Also, in 2000, four workers from the UCDMC Access Unit were
28 suspended for circulating a petition asking to discuss items related to workload, safety,

Page 35 of 36
1 ergonomics, and respect. California legislator intervention was needed, including but not limited
2 to State of California Assemblyman Honorable Darrel Steinberg, to bring these employees back
3 to work. Plaintiff was also asked to help these workers in regard to the despicable UCDMC
4 Management retaliation.
5 110. After Cal/OSHA issued the citation for negligence and safety violations in
6 the plant, UC Davis Plant Operation and Maintenance Department (PO&M) Manager Toni
7 Moddessette demoted Cogeneration Plant Superintendent Tom Kavanauch and replaced him
8 with Dan James, who was brought to the plant from the UC San Francisco Medical Center. The
9 situation in the plant changed for the better up until the present, but it has changed quickly for
10 the worse due to current plant manager Steve McGrath’s group of colleagues who came from his
11 previous plant near Jackson, CA. Two Central Plant operators, William Buckans and Rick
12 Tunello, became the target of constant harassment and were bullied by newly hired individuals
13 from the Jackson area. Shortly after they were hired, plant manager Dane James was coerced by
14 these individuals from Jackson to join them in attacks against Rick Tunello and William
15 Buckans. For some reason, these folks did not like Rick Tunello and William Buckans and were
16 pitting the Plant manager against them; trying to convince Dan James to fire Tunello and
17 Buckans.
18
111. In August 2003, Plaintiff’s coworker, Mike Murphy (who quit job in 2005), and
19 Plaintiff, received from the central plant maintenance supervisor Tom Kavanaugh a Preventive
20 Maintenance Work Order that required us to pressure wash all dirt and oil underneath the
21 Cooling Tower. We refused to pressure wash the oil to the storm drain. We took pictures using
22 Mike Murphy’s Sony Digital Camera and we told Tom Kavanaugh that we did not pressure wash
23 the oil to the storm drain. Several times Plaintiff approached an employee from the UC Davis
24 Medical Center’s Environmental Health and Safety Department (EH&S) who was visiting the
25 Central Plant frequently to sign Hazardous Work Permits (after a long time Plaintiff forgot his
26 name). The EH&S employee was not very anxious to discuss the oil problem under the Cooling
27 Tower and his response was, “Well if we get caught than we pay the price.”
28

Page 36 of 37
Violation of the State Health and Safety Code that require safe storage and disposal of
1 hazardous waste, Water Code and Fish and Game Code provisions that prohibit discharge of
hazardous waste or garbage into state waterways.
2
3 112. Some of the worst safety problems and environmental hazards in the
4 UCDMC state-of-the-art Central Plant were twenty-two (22) defective-by-design cooling tower
5 gearboxes.
6 113.. The defective cooling tower gearboxes were massively leaking machine
7 oil underneath the cooling tower and creating serious safety problems for the personnel working
8 underneath the cooling tower; in addition, the leaking machine oil created an enormous
9 environmental hazard. Every week, as usual, the Central Plant maintenance supervisor issued a
10 preventive maintenance work order to refill the cooling tower’s leaking gearboxes. The machine
11 leaked approximately 10 gallons of oil per week for seven (7) years, and the cooling tower floor
12 was washed out with water to the storm drain (river) or to the soil around the cooling tower when
13 the new cooling tower was under construction. Once a month or every three months, the Central
14 Plant maintenance supervisor (the same supervisor who said to Plaintiff that “Somebody
15 [should] give this Polack a bad evaluation and fire him”) also issued a preventive
16 maintenance work order to use a pressure washer to wash out the covered-by-oil gearboxes and
17 cooling tower underneath the floor and discharge everything to the City of Sacramento storm
18 drain connected to the Sacramento River.
19
114. It would cost $5,000/unit to replace the defective units, according to the
20 whistleblowing investigation report which copy of Plaintiff received in 2007 from UC Davis
21 Public Record Act Office. It was merely $110,000 and only 1/3 of the annual salary of UC
22 Davis Associate Vice Chancellor Shelton Duraisseau Ph.D whose idea was to build the 70
23 million dollar 27 MW cogeneration facility. However, UC Davis management’s solution to this
24 urgent safety and environment problem was a dilution, covering up the criminal activities and
25 retaliating against anybody who mentioned this problem. This safety and environment hazard
26 also created unbelievable hostility and an intolerable working environment. The working
27 environment of the Central Plant became very hostile and violent after the present Central Plant
28 manager brought a group of employees from his previous plant near Jackson, CA. The manager

Page 37 of 38
1 provided to them answers to the qualification test in order to cheat the hiring-qualification
2 requirements and to hire his friends. Not one of these folks would pass the qualification test for
3 this type of power plant. Beside the above issue, their qualifications do not match requirements
4 to be hired as the operators for the Central Plant. In exchange for such favor, these individuals
5 became undisputed and dedicated allies for the violating laws and regulations Plant Operation
6 and Maintenance Department and Central Plant management, attacking and bullying other
7 employees who were talking about safety or any problems related to work environment in the
8 Central Plant. These individuals without any hesitation added oil to the leaking gear boxes and
9 washed the leaking oil to the City of Sacramento storm drain Sacramento River. The hostility
10 created by management in the Central Plant lead to the suicide of one the Central Plant operators,
11 Todd Goerlich in December 2010.
12
The Accident and Injury Underneath Cogeneration Plant Cooling Tower
13
14 115. In 2002, one of Plaintiff’s coworkers, William Buckans, was inspecting
15 cooling tower fans, and Buckans fell on the cement floor because of the oily and slippery surface
16 underneath the cooling tower. As a result of this accident, Buckans was taken by ambulance to
17 the UCDMC emergency room with severe back pain. The accident was reported to the Central
18 Plant manager. However, the accident did not encourage management to take care of oil leaks
19 underneath the cooling tower, and every day, Central Plant operators were risking injury under
20 the cooling tower due to the daily routine duty of checking the oil level in leaking oil gear boxes
21 and the condition of the mechanical equipment.
22 After the above-mentioned accident, William Buckans asked plant managers and the
23 maintenance superintendent to apply a nonskid material to the work area where Buckans was
24 injured to prevent another—perhaps more serious—accident and injury. Buckans was absolutely
25 devastated when both supervisors said no to his request. It was unspeakable and unbelievable
26 that his superiors would force their subordinates to work in an extremely unsafe environment
27 without any hesitation. Beside his accident, three other workers got hurt working under the
28 cooling tower. The Central Plant manager, instead of taking care of safety problems, notoriously

Page 38 of 39
1 entertained himself by watching porn during working hours on a company computer and
2 harassing and bullying Buckans on any occasion he could find with his allies, nicknamed the
3 Jackson 5, who were fraudulently hired by him.
4 116. In August 2003, Plaintiff’ coworker Mike Murphy (quit job in 2005)) and
5 Plaintiff, received from the Central Plant maintenance supervisor Tom Kavanaugh, a Preventive
6 Maintenance Work Order which required us to pressure wash all dirt and oil underneath the
7 Cooling Tower. We refused to pressure wash the oil to the storm drain. We took pictures using
8 Mike Murphy’s Sony Digital Camera and we told Tom Kavanaugh that we did not pressure wash
9 oil to the storm drain. Several times Plaintiff approached employee from UC Davis Medical
10 Center Environmental Health and Safety Department(EH&S) who was visiting very Central
11 Plant very often to sign Hazardous Work Permits. (Over long time Plaintiff forgot his name) .
12 EH&S employee was not very anxious to discuss the oil problem under Cooling Tower and his
13 response was “Well if we get caught than we pay the price”
14
15 The Whistleblowing Complaint with UC Davis Vice Chancellor Office UC Davis Policy &
16 Procedure Section 380-17, August 2005
17 117. In August 2005, Plaintiff’s coworker William Buckans asked Plaintiff help
18
him with a Whistleblowing Complaint in regard to safety and environmental hazard caused by
19
leaking machine oil in the cooling tower gear boxes pursuant to UC Davis Policy and Procedure
20
Section 380-17. Plaintiff helped Buckans to write a letter to University of California Human
21
Resources Vice President Judith Boyette, which was sent on August 7, 2005, with the actual
22
whistleblower complaint and some evidence.
23
24 118. The UC Davis Management quickly made determination that Plaintiff was
25 helping his coworker William Buckans with his whistleblowing complaint. In an August 7, 2005
26 Improper Activities Report cover letter submitted to the University of California Human
27 resources Vice –President Judith Boyette, William Buckans made reference to UC Vice
28 President Judith Boyette’s employment with a Sutro Madison law firm of which Plaintiff was

Page 39 of 40
1 familiar through previous employment. In addition to the Sutro reference, the copy of the
2 Complaint for Injunction filed with the Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino,
3 by the Attorney General of the State of California against AUTOZONE Inc, dated June 22, 2005
4 was attached to the Improper Activities Report cover letter.
5
Apparently, the filed the whistleblowing complaint s leaked, and the central plant became a war
6
zone.
7 119. Every morning, a mandatory central plant crew meeting was turned by
8 plant management into a hostile meeting. The plant manager and superintendent, backed by the
9 indviduals from Jackson plant , and without any hesitation showed anger aimed at William
10 Buckans and Plaintiff, to the point that the plant manager told Plaintiff that he would “send the
11 Gestapo on his ass” and asked him to step outside with him for a physical confrontation to
12 resolve William Buckan’s whistleblowing complaint. Plaintiff refused to step out.
13 120. William Buckan’s disclosure of the 7-year gross violation of state and
14 federal environmental and safety law by the UC Davis Medical Center triggered despicable
15 retaliation action aimed at Plaintiff and Buckans The Plaintiff’ believed for many years ass it
16
was the reason for retaliation and witch hunt orchestrated by the Defendant
17
121. To control the situation and take care of William Buckans and Plaintiff,
18 the UC Davis Office of the Chancellor deployed to the UC Davis Medical Center Human
19 Resources Department an attorney, Stephen Chilcott, who was listed as Defendant in Plaintiff’s
20 in the First and Second Amended Complaint (SAC & FAC).The Defendant’s retaliation goal
21 was in order to fabricate false cause and terminate Plaintiff’s and Buckans’ employment.
22 122.. According to the documents Plaintiff received in July 2007 from the UC
23 Davis Public Record Act Office, the UC Davis Assistant Executive Vice Chancellor Robert
24 Loesseberg –Zahl , who was handling Buckan’s Whistleblowing Complaint, very quickly
25 concluded the investigation without even bothering to interview any employee from the Central
26 Plant—including William Buckans, who submitted the complaint and who was injured due to the
27 accident, and was taken to the UCDMC Emergency Room due to unsafe conditions of the
28

Page 40 of 41
1 cooling tower cement floor with leaking oil from the gear boxes. Basically, the Buckan’s
2 Whistleblowing Complain about unlawful machine oil discharge for seven years to the river was
3 swept under the carpet and was concluded around October 2005. The Central Plant supervisors
4 and their allies who were fraudulently hired in the Central Plant received a green light to attack
5 Plaintiff and Buckans as they desired.
6
Hostility In The Central Plant in 2005-2006
7
123. In January 2006, Plaintiff had open heart surgery and was absent from
8
9 work for three months. When Plaintiff was ready to come back to the plant after a few
10 months of illness, the plant manager Dan James was trying to block Plaintiff’s return under
11 the false pretenses that Plaintiff did not provide him or the main office with the requested
12 FEMLA documents for his short disability. When Plaintiff provided him with proof that
13 Plaintiff had provided all documents to the plant manager and to the main office, Plaintiff
14 was told that the documents were lost and that he needed to provide new documents signed
15 by a physician.
16 124. In March 2006, Plaintiff was neither aware nor imagined that the attempt of the
17 plant manager, Dan James, to block Plaintiff’s return to the plant after short-term disability
18
related to Plaintiff’s open heart surgery was a broader preemptive move. The Defendant’ action
19
against Plaintiff to remove Plaintiff from the central plant or fire Plaintiff from the job was for a
20
completely different reason than Plaintiff thought for many years thereafter. Plaintiff believed
21
22 that helping his coworker, William Buckans, with his whistle-blowing complaint about the
23 Defendant’ misconduct in unlawfully discharging machine oil into the Scaramanto River via a
24
city storm drain for seven years was the was the main reason why the Defendant sought to
25
remove Plaintiff from the central plant in an attempt to terminate Plaintiff’s employment.
26
125. In March 2006, it was most likely that Plant Manager Dan James did not know the
27
28 real reason why he was ordered to attack Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s coworker, Buckans.

Page 41 of 42
126. In March 2006, Plaintiff never would thought that one year later, in March 2007,
1
2 the Defendant would carry out ill and despicable plan and abruptly remove Plaintiff from the
3 central plant and reassign him to a different shop with threats of termination of employment
4
although he was the most experienced power plant operator.
5
127. Plaintiff does not remember exactly how this ended, but after Plaintiff came back
6
7 to work after short term disability than he then learned that his coworker William Buckans had
8 become a target of physical threats by other employees from Jackson 5 group. The situation in
9 the plant became so volatile that every morning’s operational meeting was like a war zone. One
10
of the Jackson 5 employees, Steve McGrath, was promoted to Central Plant maintenance
11
supervisor, which emboldened the Jackson group of employees to attack Plaintiff, William
12
13 Buckans and rick Tunello during the shift-turnover morning meetings. In September 2006.
14 Plaintiff coworker Rick Tunello was wrongly accused of missing a medical freezer alarm and
15
was served with unjustified suspension without pay. Plaintiff quickly found out that Rick Tunello
16
was groundlessly accused and was able to help Rick reverse the suspension decision, but Rick
17
Tunello was so fed up with being endlessly harassed and bullied by Jackson 5 group and plant
18
19 manager that he quit the job. This fact that Plaintiff helped Tunello turned the Plant Manager
20 and his Jackson allies entirely against Plaintiff , and they were furious that Plaintiff defended
21
Rick Tunello, whom they hated so badly and wanted fired him for reasons that were undescribed
22
and not understandable to Plaintiff and others workers.. They just hated him. Plaintiff’s loud and
23
24 clear complaint finally forced the Central Plant manager to advise his allies to stop attacks
25 against Plaintiff and Buckans. William Buckans was fed up with the attacks and in September
26 2006 reported the Central Plant manager Dan James for entertaining himself by viewing porn in
27
his cubicle on company time not knowing that reporting Dan James did not make any
28

Page 42 of 43
difference and Dan James would be forced be to quit anyway like Tony Moddessette who
1
2 brought him to Central Plant. The two high school educated individuals Charles Witcher and
3 Steve McGrath were already on the Stephen Chilcott’s and Director Robert Taylor’s list as a
4
replacements for Tony Moddessette’s and Dan James’ positions. .
5
6 The Central Plant Manager’s Porn Activities
7
128. The Human Resources attorney Stephen Chilcott, who was deployed to
8
UC Davis Medical in 2005 to carry out Defendant plan to remove Plaintiff and William
9
Buckans from the Plant conducted the investigation of Central Plant manager Dan James porn
10
activities in his cubicle on company time.
11
129. Shortly after the porn activities complaint was lodged against the central
12
plant manager, Plant Operation and Maintenance (PO&M) Department Manager Tony
13
Moddessette became a scapegoat and was forced to resign and Charles Witcher was assigned as
14
the interim PO&M department manager. The difference between Moddessette and Witcher was
15
16 education. Moddessette had an MBA and Witcher, who was high school educated, could not
17 write a simple memo without help from HR or his secretary, but was willing to do harm to others
18 without asking questions. Also, Witcher was no challenge for Director Robert Taylor. Plaintiff
19 believes that Moddessette refused to participate in hunting down Plaintiff and Buckans right after
20 Buckans filed his whistleblowing complaint in August 2005 and that this also was one of the
21 reasons why he had to end his employment with the UC Davis Medical Center.
22
23 The December 2006-March 2007 “WITCH HUNT” Aimed At Plaintiff and William Buckans
24
130. On November 26, 2006, Stephen Chilcott sent an e-mail to William
25
Buckans entitled “Hostile Work Environment” and informed Buckans that he had concluded
26
investigation without any information about the findings. On December 4, 2006, just eight days
27
after Stephen Chilcott concluded his investigation, the especially assigned “witch hunter” from
28

Page 43 of 44
1 UCDMC Equal Opportunity Committee, Bettye Andreos, was assigned to hunt down Plaintiff
2 and William Buckans to remove them from the Central Plant and Plaintiff became the primary
3 target of the Stephen Chilcott’s crafted despicable preemptive retaliatory action .
4 131. The orchestrated preemptive retaliatory action against Plaintiff and
5
William Buckans a was led and carried out by the UCDMC Equal Opportunity Committee,
6
Chief Executive, Professional Service Officer and UCDMC Equal Opportunity Committee
7
Affirmative Action Officer Dr. Shelton Duruisseau and the Divisional Representatives of this
8
committee: UCDMC Director of Facilities and Construction Mike Boyd; HR Equal Opportunity
9
Manager Cindy Oropeza, Chair of this committee and UCDMC Assistant Director Hospital and
10
Clinics who appointed Charles Witcher as a new UCDMC Plant Operation; and Maintenance
11
Department interim manager Charles Witcher, who had no qualification ad education for this
12
position.
13
132.. The four-month-long witch hunt did not go as anticipated by Stephen
14
15 Chilcott and other attackers. Even Plant Manager Dan James and Plant Superintendent Tom
16 Kavanaugh refrained themselves from attacking Plaintiff and Buckans during the orchestrated
17 Kangaroo Court pseudo-investigation conducted by assigned witch hunter Bettye Andreos from
18 the UCDMC Equal Opportunity Committee. The fabricated accusations were based on the
19 supposed statements taken from fraudulently hired employees, nicknamed the Jackson 5.
20 Plaintiff walked out of the second interview conducted by a appointed Communist “Stalin-type”
21 prosecutor and judge Bettye Andreos, who had no clue what she is doing but was instructed to
22 prosecute Plaintiff and Buckans and end their employment with UC Davis Medical Center.
23 Plaintiff expressed his feelings about Bettie Andresos’ interrogation skills very loudly on his way
24
out from the Pathology Building on February 27, 2007. Also, he expressed his view about this
25
investigation about physical threats toward William Buckans during a meeting with HR Labor
26
Relations Supervisor Mike Garcia.
27
The March 8, 2007 “Investigation Report
28

Page 44 of 45
1 133. On March 8, 2007, Bettye Andreos, a witch hunter assigned by Director
2 Shelton Durruiseau Ph. D, issued her pseudo - investigation report.
3 If somebody unfamiliar with the entire situation in the Central Plant would read Ms. Andreos’
4 report would probably would come to conclusion that Plaintiff is the Grand Wiz of the KKK for
5
Northern California or a leader of the Arian Nation, Neo-Nazi, or guard in a Nazi concentration
6
camp whose goal is to exterminate Jews.
7
134. The Bettye Andreos Report dated March 8, 2007, accused Plaintiff that
8
Plaintiff is the person who created hostile environment in the Central Plant.
9
“It is my conclusion that the work environment in the Central Plant is not
10
consistent with the University’s Principles of Community and violates the
11
principles embodied in the policy on violence in the workplace through the
12
creation of an intimidating, disruptive and threatening environment, i.e., a
13
hostile work environment. I find it more likely than not that the hostile
14
15 work environment is attributable to one employee, Jerry Waszczuk, who
16 consistently uses hate and biased-based comments when engaged with co-
17 workers. There is no evidence that I was able to obtain that indicates Central
18 Plant management was assertive in addressing the issue of hate and biased-
19 based comments in the workplace.”

20
The Retaliatory Letter of Expectation dated March 22, 2007
21
22
135. As a result of reporting safety hazards and seven years of unlawful
23
massive machine oil discharge to the Sacramento River via city storm drain from the UC Davis
24
Medical Center Central Plant, on March 22, 2007, William Buckans received a Letter of
25
26 Expectation.
27 136. The Letter of Expectation Buckans received was made up out of the blue,
28 and the Letter of Suspension and Notice of Reassignment was the shorter version of the March 8,

Page 45 of 46
1 2007, “Witch Hunter” report issued by Bettie Andreos with the same despicable slander,
2 accusations, and threats of terminating Plaintiff’s employment.
3 137. William Buckans appealed his Letter of Expectation under UC Davis
4 Whistleblowing Protection Policy, and the Letter of Expectation was removed from Buckan’s
5
departmental file by UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoeof on August 27, 2007, with the
6
words:
7
“Nevertheless, I am, by copy of this letter, asking Chief Executive Officer
8
Rice and Executive , UC Davis Medical Center HR Director Gloria Alvarado
9
to review this matter further to determine if any additional corrective actions
10
may be required.”
11
138. UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoeof, UC Davis Health System (UCDHS) Center
12
HR Director Gloria Alvarado and UC Davis Medical Center (UCDMC) Chief Executive Officer
13
Ann Madden Rice did not know why Stephen Chilcott was deployed to the UC Davis Medical
14
15 Center .
16 139. For his successful mission in 2007 to remove Plaintiff from the Central Plant,
17 Chilcott was promoted to USCDHS HR labor relations supervisor; in 2008 Chilcott replaced
18 USDHS HR Labor Relation Manager Michael Sheesley and, at the end of 2009, Chilcott
19 replaced Gloria Alvarado as UC Davis Health System HR Executive Director .

20 140. The UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoeof’s order was meaningless because
21 immediately after the Letter of Expectation, was removed by Chancellor order., Buckans became
22 the subject of vicious management retaliation and was bullied by the group of employees
23 fraudulently hired by UC Davis Medical Center Plant management. The attacks and retaliation
24
against William Buckans continued until May 2012.
25
26 The Retaliatory Unlawful Suspension and Reassignment to the UC Davis Medical Center
HVAC Shop
27
28

Page 46 of 47
1 140. On March 23, 2007, Plaintiff received the Letter Intent to Suspend and
2 Notice of Reassignment from the Central Plant to UC Davis Medical Center Plumbing
3 Shop/HVAC.
4 141. The Letter of Intent to Suspend and Notice of Reassignment defamed,
5
defaced, and portrayed Plaintiff as a bigot, racist, and violent employee, making him look like a
6
guard from a Nazi concentration camp or a KKK member and the letter was threating to
7
terminate Plaintiff’s employment, suspend, and reassigned Plaintiff to a different shop.
8
142. The March 23, 2007, Letter of Intent to Suspend and Notice of
9
Reassignment was based on the unofficial UC Davis Policy, which is the tool of the oppression
10
and tool to hunt down employees entitled “ The UC Davis’ Principle of Community.”
11
143. This UC Davis unconstitutional manifesto entitled “UC Davis Principle of
12
Community” is a UC Davis administration tool of oppression and malicious prosecution of
13
Christians, and any employee who has complained against the corrupted UC Davis
14
15 administration.
16 144. The scenario of attacking employees with this manifesto is simple. The
17 “accusation of racism, bigotry, violence”; then, Policy 1616 and Policy 380-15; then, the witch
18 hunt began with a witch hunter assigned by UC Davis administration executives . In charge of
19 the UC Davis manifesto entitled “Principles of Community” is Associate Executive Vice

20 Chancellor Rahim Reed. Rahim Reed is a very well-educated person. His only job for
21 $173,000.00 is to maintain and make sure that this unconstitutional tool is in motion, visible, and
22 inflicting fear in anyone who dares to criticize the UC Davis administration, point to a misuse of
23 university resources, or note a violation of law. In February 2008, this unconstitutional
24
manifesto and the tools of oppression were forcibly incorporated into UC Davis employees’
25
job description.
26
145.. In February 2011, Katehi, together with Rahim Reed, implemented an
27
unconstitutional (under both the Federal and California State Constitutions) policy incorporated
28

Page 47 of 48
1 into the “Principles of Community.” This “UC Davis Principle of Community” labeled
2 “CHRISTIANS AS A OPPRESSORS.” After the protest of the Alliance Defense Fund, a
3 Christian legal group, the definition of Christians as oppressors was removed from the manifesto
4 entitled “UC Davis Principle of Community.” However, Chancellor Katehi is still in power, and
5
Rahim Read still maintains the unconstitutional UC Davis Manifesto for $173, 000.00 per year,
6
spreading hate and intolerance across UC Davis. Labeling Christians as oppressors was nothing
7
else but Linda Katehi’s and Rahim Read’s ideological invitation for religious and political
8
cleansing in the UC Davis campuses .
9
146. The March 23, 2007, Letter of Intent to Suspend AND Notice of
10
Reassignment was signed by Interim Manager of the Plant Operation and Maintenance
11
Department Charles Witcher stated:
12
“You have a right to respond to this notice of intent to suspend either orally or
13
in writing. Such response must be received within eight (8) calendar days from
14
15 the date of issuance of such notice by your Official Reviewer — Robert
16 Taylor, Assistant Director, H&C. Mr. Taylor can be reached by telephone at
17 916-7342570. His mailing address is UCDMC, Administrative & Professional
18 Services, FSSB Suite 2100, and Sacramento, CA 95817.
19 In the event this intended action is taken, you will have the right to request
20 review of the action under Personnel Policies for Staff Members 70,
21 Complaint Resolution. If you wish to request review of the final action, you
22 must do so in writing as explained in the above policy, using the appropriate
23 complaint form. Your written request for review must be received in the
24
Employee & Labor Relations Office no later than 30 calendar days from the
25
date of the letter of suspension.”
26
147. Director Robert Taylor was one of the individuals who carry out
27
retaliation against Plaintiff and Buckans in December 2006 –March 2007. . On March 30, 2007,
28

Page 48 of 49
1 Plaintiff submitted to Director Robert Taylor his 59-page Appeal Letter from Witcher’s Letter of
2 Intent to Suspend and Notice of Reassignment. Director Taylor acted as Skelly Reviewer.
3 Director Taylor denied Plaintiff’s appeal on April 16, 2007. On the same day, Charles Witcher
4 signed a Letter of Three Days of Suspension Without Pay and Notice of Reassignment to
5
Plumbing/HVAC Shop beginning on April 20, 2007.

13 Dist.2 04/08/2003) and Janet Campbell v. Regents of the University of California (Supra
14 S113275).
15 149. On April 19, 2007, Plaintiff filed Step I Complaint under PPSM 70 from
16 Witcher’s and Taylor’s decisions. Again, Director Robert Taylor was assigned as the Reviewer
17
for the Step I Complaint under PPSM 70 and denied Plaintiff’s Step I Complaint on May 10,
18
2007.
19
150. On April 20, 2007, after one month of administrative leave Plaintiff
20
reported himself to UCDMC Plumbing/HVAC Shop per Charles Witcher’s April 16, 2007,
21
Letter of Suspension and Notice of Reassignment. Plaintiff in HVAC shop was assign to monitor
22
and dispatch critical alarms on the day shift in UC Davis Medical Center via the computer
23
Metasys System. The Plumbing/HVAC shop Manager was Patrick Putney with Senior
24
Development Engineer and Shop supervisor was Dorin Daniliuc.

28 The 2006-2007 Annual Employee Performance Review

Page 49 of 50
1 151. Three months later, after Plaintiff was defamed, defaced, and portrayed as a bigot,
2 racist, and violent employee, making him look like a guard from a Nazi concentration camp or a
3 KKK member and after the letter which was threating to terminate Plaintiff’s employment,
4 suspend, or reassigned Plaintiff to a different shop on July 25, 2007, Charles Witcher signed
5 Plaintiff’s Employee Performance Review (Evaluation) for the 2006/2007 working period.
6 152. To Plaintiff’s disbelief, his Employee Performance Review grade was
7 “Meets Expectation” with comments that were better than what Plaintiff received in the previous
8 annual evaluations. This should have ended the story, Plaintiff’s suspension should have been
9 null and void, and Plaintiff should have been permitted to return to his normal duty in the Central
10 Plant. In Jensen v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 14 Cal. App. 4th 958, 18 Cal. Rptr. 2d 83
11 (Cal.App.Dist.4 03/30/1993) the Court ruled:
12
“In light of the multitude of laws designed to protect the employee from
13
14
oppressive employment practices,*fn2 evaluations serve the important
15 business purpose of documenting the employer’s hiring, promotion, discipline
16 and firing practices. Moreover, the laudable practice of evaluating employees
17 is to be encouraged for other important reasons. The performance review is a
18 vehicle for informing the employee of what management expects, how the
19 employee measures up, and what he or she needs to do to obtain wage
20 increases, promotions or other recognition. Thus, the primary recipient and
21 beneficiary of the communication is the employee.”
22
153. Plaintiff 2006/2007 Evaluation stated:
23
24 “Jerry is a very knowledgeable and effective central plant operator. He is very

25 thorough in his operation and maintenance performance. He assists the
26 maintenance personnel when requested to do so. . He can be trusted to make
27 the right operational decisions and keep management informed of the status of
28

Page 50 of 51
1 the plant. Jerry is committed to the success of the central plant and the medical
2 center. His communication skills and professionalism toward some of his co-
3 workers needs some improvement.
4 Jerry is talented, precise and his daily paper work is excellent. He
5 communicates very well and always passes on information from his shift,
6 leaving detailed messages with the Central Plant operators.
7
8
Jerry was very instrumental in the setup of the computer and office area for the
9
Building Automation Monitoring. He has shown a strong knowledge of
10
computer software and hardware. He has been able to solve many computer
11
problems and install software programs when needed.
12
13
His overall job performance is outstanding. He is always willing to accept
14
extra work and is very dependable.”
15
16
The Annual Employee Evaluation period in UC Davis is from July 1 to June 30 next year and
17
had three grade levels: “Exceeds Expectation,” “Meets Expectation,” “Does Not Meet
18
Expectation.” Meets Expectation it was what an employee gets because of pay raises related to
19
evaluations. Plaintiff also received his normal wage increase due to receiving “Meets
20
Expectation” annual review.
21
After several time extensions and unsuccessful attempts to mediate the conflict through the HR
22
Mediation Office, on August 31, 2007, Plaintiff submitted to HR a Labor Relation Step II Appeal
23
from Director Taylor I Step Decision HR Case No: 03-PPS-013-06107. According to the UC
24
PPSM 70-Step II Review by Complaint Resolution Officer, the Complaint Resolution Officer
25
26 must convene a Step II meeting within 20 calendar days of the appeal to Step II. According to
27 HR Labor Relation Supervisor Mike Garcia, HR had an enormous problem finding anyone to act
28 as Complaint Resolution Officer to conduct a Step II hearing, which was required to include an

Page 51 of 52

154. On November 13, 2007, HR Labor Relation Supervisor Mike Garcia
5
assigned UCDMC Director Mike Boyd as Step II Compliant Resolution Officer (CRO) to hear
6
Plaintiff’s case of unlawful suspension and reassignment. Mike Garcia wrote in his letter to Mike
7
Boyd who was listed in FAC and SAC as an individual Defendant.
8
“The Office of Labor Relations received the enclosed complaint filed in
9
10
accordance with Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM), Complaint
11 Resolution 70 (CR 70). Jaroslaw Plaintiff’s complaint was reviewed at the Step
12 I level and a Step Response was issued by Assistant Director, Robert B.
13 Taylor. Jaroslaw Plaintiff was not satisfied with the Step I Response and has
14 filed a timely appeal to Step II. “In accordance with CR 70 and UCD
15 Procedure 70.2, you have been appointed as the Complaint Resolution Officer
16 (CRO) for the Step II review of the above referenced matter. In accordance
17 with CR 70 and UCD Procedure 70.2, you have been appointed as the
18 Complaint Resolution Officer (CRO) for the Step II review of the above
19 referenced matter. As the CRO, you are charged with convening a Step Il
20
meeting. Please convene a Step II meeting on or before December 3, 2007.”
21
22 155. Mike Boyd in the period of 1998 to 2014 held the title of UC Davis
23 Medical Center Executive Director, Facilities Planning, Design and Construction. By his duty, he
24 was directly involved in construction of the Central Plant, commissioned in 1998. Director Boyd
25 is solely responsible, together with colleague UCDMC Director Robert Taylor, Director Shelton
26 Duruisseau PhD, UCDMC Plant Operation and Maintenance (PO&M) Manager and Defendant
27 Charles Witcher, and UCDMC PO&M Principal Engineer Mike Lewis for unlawful—under state
28

Page 52 of 53
1 and federal law—massive machine oil discharge to the Sacramento or American River via city
2 storm for seven years without any consequences and including effort to cover up the crime.
3 156. The scheduled Step II hearing with Director Mike Boyd took place on
4 December 7, 2007, and he issued the decision on December 18, 2007. Mike Boyd in his biased
5 and outrageous decision did not even bother to address Plaintiff’s abrupt removal from the
6 Central Plant and move Plaintiff to Plumbing/HVAC due to the retaliation and witch hunt
7 orchestrated by him, Shelton Durruisseau, Robert Taylor, Defendant Cindy Oropeza, and others.
8 In 2007, besides holding the Director position, Mike Boyd was Equal Opportunity Committee
9 Divisional Representative together with Director Shelton Duruisseau PhD and Defendant listed
10 as individual Defendant in FAC and SAC Cindy Oropeza.
11 157.. Director Boyd’s decision in the Step II Appeal was sent to Plaintiff
12 on January 2, 2008, with a cover letter from HR Labor Relation Supervisor Mike Garcia, which
13 was sent to Director Shelton Duruisseau Ph.D and Director Robert Taylor. Plaintiff was outraged
14 by Boyd’s decision after receiving a glowing 2006/2007 Employee Performance Review
15 (evaluation) and on January 28, 2008, Plaintiff responded to Boyd’s decision with a 24-page
16 letter. In his letter, Plaintiff wrote to Boyd citing Jensen v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 14 Cal.
17 App. 4th 958,18 Cal. Rptr. 2d 83 (Cal. Ct. App. 1993;
18 “I could only speculate that you and others are lacking any knowledge of UC
19 policies and procedures in regards to employer-employee relation. Your, and
20 others, complete disregard to the importance of the Annual Employee
21 Performance Review established by the UC and affirmed by the California,
22 and other states, appellate courts is very disturbing and unacceptable.
23 Your decision is very biased and is a continuance of the non written “witch
24 hunt “policy affirmed by some individuals from the UCDMC HR Department.
25 This case is not a court case. However, it looks like that this case won’t end
26 inside the UC system because of deliberate bias and lack of any good faith
27 from the UCDMC Management to end this case.”
28

Page 53 of 54

9 159. In addition to Plaintiff’s suspension and reassignment and his appeals,
10 individuals who were responsible, directly or indirectly, for the massive oil discharge to the
11
Sacramento River via city storm drain for the seven years enjoyed promotions and wages
12
increases. The individual Defendant listed in SAC and FAC Charles Witcher was promoted by
13
Director Robert Taylor to the permanent position of the UCDMC Plant Operation and
14
Maintenance Department Manager, Steve McGrath was promoted by Director Robert Taylor to
15
UCDMC Central Plant Manager position, Defendant Stephen Chilcott was promoted to a
16
UCDMC HR Labor Relation Manager position, Dennis Curry, participant in the 2005 cover-up
17
investigation related to the illegal oil discharge to the river, was promoted by Director Robert
18
Taylor to UCDMC PO&M Department Assistant Manager (Defendant Charles Witcher’s
19
Assistant). Dennis Curry was dismissed in June 2012 two weeks before he retired for taking
20
21 money from contractors. Dennis Curry was Plaintiff’s superior from 2007 to 2012.
22 Furthermore, in July 2007, UCDMC Plumbing/HVAC Shop Supervisor Dorin Daniliuc
23 (Defendant in this case), who operated his private HVAC business and his church business on
24 university time, disclosed to Plaintiff that he was given his supervisor position in UCDMC
25 HVAC shop by UCDMC Director Robert Taylor and Director Shelton Duruisseau Ph .D in
26 exchange for installing and maintaining heating and air-conditioning equipment in their private
27 residences. It was reported to UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendy Delmendo in July

4 160. Outraged by Director Boyd’s Step II Decision, Plaintiff filed with

5 UCDMC HR Labor Relation the Step III Appeal on January 29, 2008, which was Arbitration.
6 Plaintiff in his request for Arbitration attached his 24-page response to Director Boyd’s Step II
7
Decision. Plaintiff deliberately chose the University of California arbitrator instead of an outside
8
arbitrator, showing the extent to which the university system is corrupted.
9
The Arbitration Step III Appeal hearing was set for November 3 & 4 2008, 1 ½ years after my
10
suspension and reassignment from the Central Plant to HVAC shop.
11
UC Davis assigned to the hearing two UC Davis Campus HR attorneys who were also -licensed
12
by the California State Bar: UC Davis HR Assistant Director Dawn M. Capp J.D and HR
13
Analyst VII, Danesha Nichols J.D (Danesha Nichols is listed a s an individual Defendant in this
14
FAC and SAC ).
15
161. As Arbitration Step III Appeal Hearing Officer, UC Davis assigned
16
17 Connie Melendy, Assistant Vice Provost from the UC Davis Academic Personnel Offices
18 of the Chancellor and Provost.
19 162. The coordinator on the UC Davis Medical Center site was the newly
20 promoted HR Labor Relation Manager and attorney at law listed defendant in FAC and SAC
21 Stephen Chilcott J.D.

22 163. In 2007 and 2008, Plaintiff had a very hard time understanding why the
23 three different appeals pursuant to UC Davis Complaint Resolution Policy PPSM 70 had to
24 continue after Plaintiff was provided with a good 2006/2007 evaluation. Plaintiff in 2008 made
25 an offer to settle the cases without demanding reassignment back to his previous position in the
26
Central Plant or a big monetary settlement. In preparation for the Appeal, Plaintiff reexamined
27
and reviewed all the documents he had and came to the conclusion that the point of dragging
28

Page 55 of 56
1 Plaintiff to the arbitration was to further humiliate him and that arbitration would end with same
2 result as Taylor’s and Boyd’s decisions in Step I and Step II Appeals. Thereafter, Plaintiff most
3 likely would be fired under false pretenses with an arbitrator slanderous decision as a backup.
4 For the arbitration hearing, Plaintiff ordered a sworn Court Reporter at his own all expense
5
because the university refused to share the cost.
6
164. In 2007 and 2008, Plaintiff did not know that his removal from the Central Plant
7
and reassignment to the HVAC shop served a different purpose than he suspected. Plaintiff also
8
did not know that, in January 2007, the Defendant hired Charles Robinson as the University of
9
California General Counsel. Robinson was previously employed as a General Counsel with
10
California Independent System Operator (ISO) and, apparently, the Defendant were hoping to
11
get a new contract for the sale of electric power with ISO by hiring him. The power sale contract
12
with Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) and ISO was lost in 2003 or 2004, causing
13
the University to lose millions of dollars in revenue. Robinson was the right person to take care
14
15 of business and bring the revenue back, regardless of the fact that the UC Davis Central Plant
16 was not legally qualified to sell power to SMUD via ISO.
17 165. To prepare himself for the arbitration hearing, Plaintiff reviewed the
18 University of California and UC Davis policies and was trying to find the University of
19 California policy that could allow management to remove and reassign an employee to the
20 different shop against that employee’s will and as a disciplinary measure.
21 166. The Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM) 62 Corrective Action
22 Policy had no such option.
23 167. Plaintiff found only the Principles of Reassignment for the UC Davis
24
Medical Center on the UC Davis Website, which had nothing to do with disciplining employees,
25
but forgot to present it during the arbitration.
26
168. Plaintiff submitted by e-mail the mentioned UCDMC Principles of
27
Reassignment to Hearing Officer Ms. Connie Melendy on November 9, 2008.
28

Page 56 of 57
1 Ms. Melendy responded to Plaintiff e-mail with thanks for the Principles and cc’d my e-mail to
2 Defendant Danesha Nichols and Stephen Chilcott who from the beginning of the appeals process
3 together with Taylor and Boyd knew that the reassignment was unlawful and against any UC
4 Policies—especially Stephen Chilcott and Danesha Nichols, who were HR employees and
5
licensed by the State Bar with J.D. degrees. Chilcott was trying to control damages, but it did not
6
go far.
7
169. It was lucky for Plaintiff that he found the information and sent it to
8
Connie Melendy.
9
170. On December 19, 2008, Connie Melendy sent her Step III–Arbitration
10
decision to Plaintiff. The decision was not much different than the March 2007 “Witch Hunt”
11
decision issued by Bettie Andreos or Charles Witcher’s March 2007 Letter of Intent to Suspend
12
and Notice of Reassignment with exception of the following statement “The reassignment was
13
not for just cause. The remedy shall be to allow Mr. Plaintiff to return to Central Plant if he
14
15 desires.”
16 171. The Step III –Arbitration decision did not leave any doubt for Plaintiff that the
17 assigned University Hearing Officer would rule against Plaintiff if Plaintiff had not, by pure luck,
18 found the UC Davis Principles of Reassignment and sent it to Ms. Connie Melendy after the
19 Arbitration hearing. UC Arbitrator had no choice but to rule against the University and order the
20 University to let Plaintiff return to the central plant. To justify her decision against the University
21 and in favor of Plaintiff, Ms. Melendy, on pages 9 and 10 of her decision, explained in detail the
22 UC Davis Personnel Policies for Staff Members (PPSM) 62. Corrective Action —
23 Professional and Support Staff. These policies were well known prior to the arbitration for
24
witch hunter Bettye Andreos, Charles Witcher, Director Shelton Duruisseau, Director
25
Robert Taylor and Director Steven Chilcott, who hunted down Plaintiff and his coworker
26
William Buckans, and caused Plaintiff enormous humiliation, stress, anxiety, fear of losing
27
his employment and financial loss.
28

Page 57 of 58
1 Furthermore, Hearing Officer Melendy brought Waszczuk’s Employee Performance Reviews
2 into her decision as follows:
3 Mr. Waszczuk’s past record, in the form of his documented performance
4 history, is remarkable for a complete absence of problems regarding
5
threatening behavior or inappropriate language prior to the corrective action
6
(Exhibit J1/1/ 2). He received “very good” performance ratings in 2000 and
7
2001, and “outstanding” ratings in 2002 and 2003. Beginning with the 2004
8
review, the rating categories on the performance forms were changed to
9
eliminate the “outstanding” category and substitute with a “meets expectation”
10
or “does not meet expectation” option for the supervisor. Thereafter, Mr.
11
Waszczuk consistently received “meets expectations” ratings for each year
12
through 2008. Many positive comments appear for each year, such as the
13
following comment that was consistently made each year of his employment in
14
15 the Central Plant:
16 “Jerry can be counted on to make the right operational decisions regarding the
17 plant, and to keep his supervisor informed of the operational status of the plant
18 and its equipment. Jerry is a valuable employee committed to the future
19 success of the Medical Center.” (Performance reviews from 2000, 2001, 2003,
20 2004, 2005, 2006)
21 There are no comments regarding threatening behavior or inappropriate
22 language in any of the annual evaluations from the time of Mr. Waszczuk’s
23 first evaluation in 2000 and including the 2006 evaluation that was written
24
prior to the suspension and reassignment. The University presented no
25
evidence to show that there were verbal or written discussions or performance
26
appraisals intended to caution or warn Mr. Waszczuk about inappropriate
27
behavior prior to the October 2007 evaluation (University Exhibit 13), which is
28

Page 58 of 59
1 a cumulative review by three supervisors (Central Plant supervisors Tom
2 Kavanaugh, Steve McGrath and HVAC Plumbing supervisor Patrick Putney).
3 That review, while overall very positive, contains the following comment
4 about Mr. Waszczuk’s behavior: ‘His communication skills and
5
professionalism toward some of his co-workers needs some improvement.’ His
6
overall job performance for 2007 is rated outstanding, with notations that he is,
7
‘... a very valuable member of the staff since joining the section in April... is
8
talented... accepts extra work... is dependable.’”
9
10 The Settlement –Agreement with the Regents of the University of California, Signed in
February 2009
11
12
172. After prevailing in the arbitration process, Plaintiff did not go back to the Central
13
Plant where his position was already replaced and where a group of employees from the Jackson
14
area who were hired fraudulently were helping Directors Shelton Durrisuseau, Robert Taylor,
15
Mike Boyd, and Charles Witcher to hunt down Plaintiff and William Buckans, which did not
16
17 incentivize Plaintiff to go back to the Central Plant.
18 173. Further, UC Davis assigned arbitrator Connie Melendy; in her 2008 decision,
19 besides the slanderous and untrue accusation aimed at Plaintiff, she suggested and strongly advised
20 Plaintiff to consider very thoughtfully and seriously, whether the environment of the
21 HVAC/Plumbing Shop, with its current supervisor and colleagues, would be more conducive to
22 Plaintiff’s future success. Under the best of circumstances, it is difficult to return to a worksite
23 where there is “animosity,” as Connie Melendy described, instead referring to it as a hostile work
24 environment that caused later the suicide one of the Central Plant Operator Todd Goerlich .
25 In April 2007 Todd Goerlich was hired as a Plaintiff’s replacement.
26
174. Plaintiff seriously considered the Arbitrator, Connie Melendy’s, suggestions to stay
27
permanently in the HVAC shop and never expected that two and one-half years after Plaintiff
28

Page 59 of 60
1 signed Settlement-Agreement with Defendant that Plaintiff would be hunted down like an animal
2 by same perpetrators as in 2006–2007.
3 175. The newly promoted UCDMC HR Labor Relations Manager and listed individual
4 Defendant in this FAC and SAC , Stephen Chilcott, solicited to settle the case.
5
176. In exchange for not going back to the Central Plant, Plaintiff was “promoted” from
6
his Central Plant Operator position to an indefinite, exempt Associate Development Engineer
7
position with an increase in the annual base salary of $8,000.00 ($70,000.00/year), which sounded
8
good to Plaintiff, but the annual gross income turned out to be a lot less then Plaintiff was earning
9
as a shift worker in the Central Plant with swing shifts and night differential, holiday pay, and
10
overtime pay.
11
177. For example, Central Plant Operator Chris Gangl’s annual earnings in 2008 was
12
$84,000 in comparison with Plaintiff’s annual earnings $63,900 ; in 2009 his earnings was
13
$80,300 in comparison with Plaintiff’s annual earnings of $82,600( Plaintiff’s earning was
14
15 included $ 13, 500 one time extra pay Plaintiff received 2009 Settlement –Agreement) ; in 2010
16 it was $80,500 in comparison with Plaintiff’s annual earnings of $70,000 ; in 2011—after the 2010
17 blackmail pay-raise of 12% (a six steps pay-up pay raise and an additional step in May 2011),
18 Chris Gangl’s annual earnings jumped to $100,000; in comparison with Plaintiff’s annual earnings
19 of $ 63,300; in 2012, Gang’s earnings was $97,300 in comparison with Plaintiff’s annual earnings
20 of 70,000;( the last year of Plainiff’s employment) in 2013, it was $98,700; and in 2014, it was
21 $104,000.
22 178. This was the reason why in March 2011, Plaintiff sent a letter to UC Davis Medical
23 Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Department Head Charles Witcher and asked respectfully
24
for Charles Witcher to increase Plaintiff’s base salary accordingly, in one step (not six steps )
25
from Middle Step of $71,640/year to the 3rd Step of $80,922/year.
26
179. Plaintiff had no intention to pursue his request if denied because of the Settlement-
27
Agreement, which stated that Plaintiff was to be provided wages of $70,000/year. It was an error
28

Page 60 of 61
1 or misclassification in the Settlement-Agreement, because this was not a step in the Associate
2 Development Engineer title classification code 7182. The first step was $62,352/year and the
3 middle step was $71,640/year, which was closer to what Plaintiff was to receive pursuant to the
4 2009 Settlement-Agreement. Plaintiff’s wages were increased in May 2011 to $71,640.
5
180. If Plaintiff were still to be employed with UC Davis Medical Center, it would be
6
most likely that Plaintiff’s salary would change to $76,600/year without a step increase, because
7
the general classification of the Title Code 7182 has been changed for Middle Step, from
8
$71,640/year to $76,600/year.
9
181. The above example of Central Plant Operator Chris Gangl, who had a lot less
10
experience and no formal education in Power Plant operations, clearly proves the earning potential
11
that Plaintiff sacrificed in not going back to the hostile work environment created and permitted in
12
the Central Plant by the Defendant, not to mention that Central Plant Operator’s nonexempt
13
position is classified as lower than the exempt Associate Development Engineer position.
14
15 182. The other issue was that some Central Plant operators were hired 10 years after
16 Plaintiff was hired, and they received in December 2010 the 12% wage increase, and in May 2011,
17 the additional pay raise. Not one UC Davis skilled trade nonunion employee in December 2010
18 was dreaming to receive one penny in wage increase because of the strict budget constraint and
19 furlough of UC campuses. Some of employees were employed for more than 20 or 30 years and
20 were not considered for any wage increase in 2010.
21 183. Besides the $70.000.00 per year salary, Plaintiff received in the Settlement-
22 Agreement a small compensation in the amount of $13,500.00 for lost wages due to the witch hunt,
23 which resulted in suspension without pay and refinement in March 2007.
24
Shortly after Plaintiff signed the February 2009 Settlement-Agreement, the Regents of the
25
University of California UC Davis HR Assistant Director Dawn Capp, UC Davis attorney in
26
arbitration, lost her job. Most likely, Ms. Capp was fired or forced to quit a few months after
27
arbitration. The Hearing Officer, Ms. Connie Melendy, disappeared from the UC Davis landscape
28

Page 61 of 62
1 in 2010.
2
184. The 2009 Settlement-Agreement, Paragraph No. 19, states “CALIFORNIA LAW
3
This Agreement is made and entered into in the State of California and shall in all respects be
4
interpreted and enforced in accordance with California law.
5
6 185. At the time when Plaintiff signed the Settlement-Agreement, February 2009,
7 Plaintiff understood that the Defendant, if alleged of any violation of the Settlement-Agreement
8 by Plaintiff, would inform Plaintiff if Plaintiff had breached or violated the signed Settlement-
9 Agreement. Then, if Plaintiff disagreed, then the Defendant had the right to enforce the agreement
10 in a court of law. This was how Plaintiff understood this employee–employer contract. The
11 Defendant never alleged in one word anywhere that Plaintiff violated the signed Settlement-
12 Agreement, but freely slandered and defamed Plaintiff in at least six pseudo-investigation reports,
13 multi-investigatory leave letters, the April 2012 notice of intent to suspend without pay, the
14 September 2012 notice of intent to terminate Plaintiff’s employment, and the December 2012 letter
15
of employment termination.
16
The Working Environment In The UC Davis Medical Center Plumbing/HVAC
17
187. By title Associate Development Engineer title , Plaintiff basically became
18
Assistant for Plumbing/HVAC Shop Manager Patrick Putney who held the title of Senior
19
20
Development Engineer. Patrick Putney, who is also listed as the Defendant in this FAC and
21 SAC got very upset for reasons unknown to Plaintiff when he got news that Plaintiff settled the
22 case and became an exempt employee in his shop. Putney complained about to HR and started
23 pitting Shop Supervisor Dorin Daniliuc against Plaintiff .Daniliuc was given his supervisor job
24 in Plumbing job by Directors Robert Taylor and Shelton Durusseau in exchange for HVAC
25 service Daniluc provided to them in in their private residences by his private HVAC business
26 188. Everything settled down, and Plaintiff became very n isolated employee in
27 a small glass cage and was monitoring and dispatching UC Davis Medical Center critical alarms,
28

Page 62 of 63
1 reviewing and closing work orders, backing up servers, and assisting shop maintenances with
2 shutdown and start-up HVAC equipment in hospital via computer, making temperature
3 adjustments in hospital patients’ rooms. Plaintiff was never invited to morning crew meeting but
4 did not complain.
5
189. From the beginning of Plaintiff’s new assignment, Plaintiff noticed that
6
the working environment was quite strange and unusual. The HVAC shop looked akin to an
7
unsupervised junkyard with filthy bathrooms, no showers for plumbers who were being exposed
8
every day to the hospital environment, no locker room, and no lunch room or break room to
9
consume meals or take rest breaks. The term “housekeeping” did not exist in the HVAC shop
10
manager’s or his assistant’s vocabulary. Both individuals were more concerned with how to
11
make a few extra bucks on the company’s time. Patrick Putney was cheating his employer of the
12
parking fee by hiding his private vehicles inside the shop. He was bringing chickens, ducks,
13
goats, sheep, and roosters from his house in his car trunk and was selling them to UCDMC
14
15 employees. Putney was trapping pigeons on the UCDMC roofs, bringing his kids to the shop for
16 babysitting and schooling, and selling soda from his private vending machine that he brought to
17 the shop.
18 Plaintiff later described his new working environment as a gypsy village in Eastern Europe,
19 which closely resembled the one portrayed by Sasha Cohen in the movie Borat.
20 190.. Dorin Daniliuc, who was and still is Patrick Putney’s assistant,
21 concentrated most of his attention on his private HVAC business, which he operated on company
22 time via cell phone; he would often disappear for most of the day with his business-equipped
23 van. Daniliuc was also bringing some foreign workers (Romanian nationals) to the shop to repair
24
his private vehicles. Daniliuc did not care much about what people thought about his unrelated
25
employment activities in the workplace. Daniliuc installed and maintained HVAC equipment for
26
two important UCDMC directors in their private residences, which apparently assured him of his
27
importance; his understanding was, “It’s nobody’s business what I am doing on company time.”
28

Page 63 of 64
1 To make sure that I got his message about his important connection with the directors, he sent
2 Plaintiff an e-mail dated July 9, 2007, from Director Robert Taylor, inviting him to a Falkland
3 Island, South Georgia, and Antarctica brown bag luncheon presentation
4 Dorin Daniliuc also ran the Romanian Church business affairs on company time and did not have
5
much time to oversee the crew and take care of his duties.
6
. 191. Plaintiff did not much attention to his supervisor’s activities and only
7
once in a while reminded Daniliuc about his duty but had no major problem with Daniliuc,
8
Putney, or his coworkers in the shop until the events in March 2011, which were triggered by a
9
secret 12% wage increase in December 2010 provided by Associate Vice Chancellor Shelton
10
Durruiseau, Director Robert Taylor, Director Mike Boyd and HR Director Stephen Chilcott for
11
the UCDMC Central Plant Operators.
12
13
The December 2010 secret 12% Pay Increase for UCDMC Central Plant Operators,
14
192. Plaintiff’s employment with the UC Davis Medical Center would have
15
lasted longer, and most likely Plaintiff would retire from University at age of 66 without any
16
problems. In March 2011 Plaintiff was 60 years old and it was Plaintiff goal to retire from
17
18
University six years later. . It did not happen and Plaintiff’s employment was converted by the
19 Defendant’s several agents and officers into Hell on the Earth.
20 193. In September 2010, one of the UCDMC Central Plant Operators, Jeff
21 Lancaster, discovered on the Sacramento Bee Webpage (Salary for Public Employees in
22 California) that Plaintiff’s 2009 annual salary was $82,295.00, not knowing that Plaintiff’s 2009
23 salary was a combination of Plaintiff’s $70,000.00 base salary and $13,500.00 extra pay per
24 February 2009 Settlement –Agreement for Plaintiff’s lost wages due to Plaintiff’s unlawful
25 reassignment from the Central Plant to the Plumbing/HVAC Shop in March 2007.
26 194. Jeff Lancaster was one of the few from the Central Plant who in
27 2005/2007 was used by UCDMC directors, Shelton Duruisseau, Robert Taylor, Mike Boyd and
28

Page 64 of 65
1 others to help them hunt down Plaintiff and William Buckans in 2005–2007 and to remove
2 Plaintiff from the Central Plant.
3 195. In the September 2010 undated petition, four undersigned individuals
4 attacked Plaintiff by making false statements about Plaintiff’s wages in relation to Metasys
5
System Operation on the day shift.
6
196. These undersigned petition individuals were the same individuals who,
7
together with Charles Witcher, attacked me and my coworkers in 2006/2007 and helped him to
8
abruptly remove Plaintiff from the Central Plant. It is suspected that the author of the petition
9
was bullied and harassed his coworker, Todd Georgic, who committed suicide. His words in the
10
petition “It is miracle that nothing tragic has happened yet” sounded like a threat. Todd
11
Georlich’s death was something very tragic that happened soon thereafter.
12
197. This tragic event was never investigated by the Human Resource
13
Department investigators. It is worth mentioning that Todd Georlich was the former coworker
14
15 and fried of the Central Plant manager Steve McGrath from his previous employment. A few
16 years back, Steve McGrath’s first wife committed suicide; now, his friend and former coworker
17 After the Todd Georlich suicide traumatized Central Plant Manager Steve McGrath tried
18 unsuccessfully to get a job in the UCDMC Carpenter shop and later in the HVAC shop.
19 198. Jeff Lancaster agitated another three individuals, Chris Gangl, Timothy
20 Cooper and Greg Russ to write and sign a petition and demanding a $4.00/hour pay raise,
21 pointing at Plaintiff’s salary and stating in the petition that Plaintiff was paid $15,000.00 more
22 per year than Central Plant Operators. Beside Plaintiff’s wages, these individuals were very
23 dissatisfied that their help and sacrifices for directors. Shelton Duruisseau, Robert Taylor and
24
Mike Boyd did not do and good because Plaintiff and Buckans was not fired from their jobs in
25
2005-2007 due to a witch hunt, They constantly bragged about and bullied and harassed William
26
Buckans after Plaintiff left the Central Plant in 2007.
27
199. Plaintiff received the copy of the undated black –mail petition signed by
28

Page 65 of 66
1 them shortly after the petition was written. The petition was addressed to UC Davis Medical
2 Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Department Manager Charles Witcher who is the
3 defendant in FAC and SAC . Plaintiff showed the black –mail petition and gave a copy of it to
4 Charles Witcher’s assistant Dennis Curry, who visited Plaintiff’s new workplace.
5
200. Plaintiff briefly discussed the petition with Dennis Curry due to the fact
6
that there was a strict budget constraint on the University of California campuses and nobody
7
was getting a penny in wage increase. When Plaintiff later received the documents under the
8
Public Record Act related to this petition, Plaintiff found out that Charles Witcher’s, Director
9
Robert Taylor’s and others’ annual salaries were searched on the web by Lancaster, and the
10
search was submitted together with a petition to Witcher. The petition was the classic blackmail
11
demand for favors to cover up crime.
12
201. Shortly after the meeting with Dennis Curry , Plaintiff ignored and forget
13
about the whole petition. Dennis Curry was involved in the 2005 cover-up crime investigation
14
15 conducted by the UC Davis Chancellor’s office related to massive machine oil discharge to the
16 Sacramento River from the Central Plant.
17 202. However, Dennis Curry did not ignore Plaintiff’s discovery about the
18 blackmail pay increase petition and alerted Charles Witcher or Director Taylor a and the petition
19 for pay raise was rewritten and signed by 11 central Plant Operators .
20 203. The memo, letter, or petition, dated September 20, 2010, signed by 11
21 “Central Plant Operators” was addressed to CHARLES WITCHER, Manager of
22 PO&M,Department identified the subject matter as “…the monitoring of the Johnson Controls
23 Metasys Software program and dispatching of emergency and same day service calls to the Central
24 Plant during graveyard and weekend shifts.” In other words, the subject was the fact that the
25 Central Plant Operators covered shifts that Plaintiff did not work.
26 204. The memo, letter, or petition continued “…the Metasys and dispatching has
27 become a full time job to monitor and respond too (sic)...several years ago, we reached a point
28

Page 66 of 67
1 where we can no longer monitor these systems and operate, start, or stop the Central Plant. This
2 matter becomes critical when there is a casualty within the plant. We cannot troubleshoot and
3 respond to phone calls and Metasys alarms. It is a miracle that nothing tragic has happened
4 yet.” (Emphasis Added)
5 205. The letter, memo, and/or petition calculates the cost of “3 new employees”
6 to monitor the system for 24 hours over 3 shifts. .In their letter, memo, or petition, the plant
7 operators asked the employer to remove the Metasys monitoring obligation from the Plant, or in
8 the alternative, agree to give the plant operators raises of $4.00 per hour.
9 206.. CHARLES WITCHER sent the request to Director Robert Taylor ,
10 On November 18, 2010, ROBERT TAYLOR, the Assistant Director, Hospitals and Clinics, in the
11 Administrative and Professional Services arm of the employer, confirmed by email, that he was
12 just as knowledgeable of the situation as CHARLES WITCHER, and that he, MR. TAYLOR, was
13 in favor of the raise instead of addressing the serious issue raised in and by the petition.
14 Director Taylor did not address serious safety issue raised in the petition because was no serious
15 issue with the phone calls and Meatasys alarms.
16 207. The Central Plant Operation and the petition was just a black-mail
17 petition to get pay raise for something completely different than inability to operate the plant.
18 UCDMC Directors, Robert Taylor, Shelton Duruisseau Ph, D. Mike Boyd, Charles Witcher and
19 Stephen Chilcott did not have much choice. They bent to the petition demands and pay raise
20 most likely got approval from the UC Davis Chancellor’s office or the University of California
21 Office of the President due to the strict budget constraints and furlough on the campuses and the
budget crisis in the whole state, including State of California Courts.
22
23 208. The 12% pay raise for all Central Plant Operators was provided to all
24 Central Plant Operators. Some of them were hired a short time before the blackmail petition was
25 submitted, and it was unthinkable for anybody to get a 12% or six steps up pay raise as a non-
26 exempt union or non-union and even exempt University of California employee working only
27 for one or two years for University.
28

Page 67 of 68
1 209. The 12% instant pay raise for the 13-person crew was most likely
2 provided because the Defendant entered into negotiations with the Sacramento Municipal Utility
3 District and ISO for a new electric power sale contract, which it had lost in 2003 or 2004. The
4 Central Plant cogeneration facility was being operated at 1/3 of its capacity and was losing
5
millions of dollars every year and the Defendant did not take any chance that there could be any
6
disturbance in the power contract negotiation. Without any question, Defendant secretly
7
provided a 12% wage increase for the Central Plant crew, based on four operators’ blackmail
8
petition for a pay raise.
9
10
The Attorney Danesha Nichol’s Deployment From The UC Davis Campus to UC Davis Medical
11
Center Human Resources Department in October 2010
12
13
210. After Plaintiff’s conversation with Dennis Curry, UC Davis Health
14
System HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott (defendant) requested that the UC Davis
15
Chancellor’s office deployed .Danesha Nichols, the listed Defendant in FAC and SAC to UC
16
Davis Medical Center to monitor the situation with the pay raise demanded by blackmail petition
17
for the Central Plant Operators.
18
211. Danesha Nichols was the UC Davis HR attorney who in 2007/2008 was
19
involved in Plaintiff’s Step III Appeal arbitration process against UC Davis Medical Center
20
management, and she was very familiar with the crime that was committed in the Central Plant
21
in the period of time spanning from 1998 to 2009 and Nichols was familiar with Plaintiff’s file .
22
212. Danesha Nichols arrived at UC Davis Medical in October 2010 with the
23
title of Investigation Coordinator in similar circumstances as Stephen Chilcott in 2005 and she
24
reported directly to Director Stephen Chilcott.
25
213. As Plaintiff stated previously, the UC Davis Medical Center’s newly built
26
in 1998 Cogeneration Power Plant/Central Plant was a pride and legacy left behind for former
27
UC Davis Chancellor Larry Vanderhoef and Shelton Duruisseau Ph.D., who was appointed to
28

Page 68 of 69
1 the Medical Board of California, Division of Medical Quality, by Governor Arnold
2 Schwarzenegger in 2004 and promoted in 2010 to Associate Vice Chancellor position. However
3 the Central Plant since 2003 did not generate millions of dollars in revenue as anticipated
4 because lack of power sale contract .
5
The December 2010 Central Plant Operator Locker Burglary
6
214. On December 17, 2010, Principal Engineer Mike Lewis who was in
7
charge of Central Plant issued a dramatic memo , stating,
8
“One of the Central Plant Operator’s locker was broken into and personal
9
effects were removed. This is a very serious offense and will not be tolerated.
10
This incident has been reported to UCDMC Police department and to UCDMC
11
Human Resources department for appropriate investigation and action. In my
12
entire career that consists of work at facilities both in the United States and
13
abroad I have never experienced an incident such as this. If the perpetrator is
14
15 found, appropriate action will be taken.”
16
215. Mike Lewis was Project Manager for Central Plant construction, start-up, and
17
commissioning. Mr. Lewis was the person who, by his title, position, and duty, was most responsible;
18
“he was obligated” to stop machine oil discharge from the leaking Cooling Tower gear boxes from
19
dispensing into the river and soil to prevent contamination of the natural environment. Mike Lewis, as
20
Principal Engineer, grossly neglected his duty and did not take any preventive measure to stop the oil
21
leak and discharge into the natural environment. Mike Lewis had no problem noticing William
22
23
Buckans’s feet elevated on the console and viewed it as disrespectful to him but was completely
24 unable to notice William Buckan’s accident underneath the cooling tower’s oily surface. Mike Lewis
25 also did not observe—for 7 years—the badly designed cooling tower gear boxes and unlawful massive
26 machine oil discharge into the nearby river and soil surrounding the cooling tower. Apparently, he was
27 ordered to do nothing about by Director Taylor or Director Shelton Duruisseau Ph.D or Director
28

The Central Plant Operator, Todd Goerlich’s Suicide on December 22, 2010
3
4 216. Five days after the Principal Engineer Mike Lewis issued his dramatic
5 memo about the incoming investigation to find perpetrator Central Plant Operator, Todd
6 Goerlich committed suicide. Then, the rest of the Central Plant Operators received a 12% pay
7 raise despite strict UC budget constraints and furlough in UC Campuses and no power sale
8 contract . Thereafter, everything got quiet. Nobody was questioned by an HR investigator or the
9 UC Davis Police Department about locker burglary. No more comments were made by any
10 Central Plant supervisors about Jeff Lancaster’s burglarized locker, no more dramatic memos
11
from the Principal were issued and Todd Georlich’s tragic death was quickly forgotten.
12
13 The Secret 12 % Pay Raise For Central Plant Operators –March 2011
14
217. Around March 5, 2011, Plaintiff somehow got into a conversation with
15
the operator from the central plant William Buckans about the December 2010 12% pay raise,
16
and Plaintiff received from Buckans a copy of the UCDMC Plant Operation and the letter from
17
18
maintenance manager Charles Witcher dated December 20, 2010, which confirmed a 12% pay
19 raise for the central plant operators.
20 218. The December 2010 12% pay raise that was secretly provided to central
21 plant operators was discriminatory to other non-union employees of the UC Davis Medical
22 Center who did not get one penny in wage increase in the last three years due to strict budget
23 constraints in the whole University of California system. The disclosure about the secret pay
24 raise for small groups of employees became a subject of discussion among workers at the other
25 shops in the UC Davis Medical Center. Plaintiff confronted his shop manager Patrick Putney and
26 Plaintiff asked Putney why the HVAC shop staff did not get a pay raise. Putney’s response was
27 that he knew about the pay raise, but was told to be silent about it to avoid any turmoil among
28

Page 70 of 71
1 the other shops’ workers. Following the discussion with Patrick Putney, Plaintiff wrote an eight-
2 page letter to the department manager about the central plant operators’ December 2010 pay
3 raise that was no longer a secret, and he asked department head Charles Witcher for a one-step
4 wage increase.
5
6
The Restricted Access to the UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant
7 in March 2011
8
219. Consequently, right after Plaintiff asked his supervisors about the secret
9
12% pay raise for the Central Plant Operators, Department Principal Engineer Mike Lewis
10
issued a memo dated March 11, 2011, instructing Central Plant crew to do the following:
11
12 “Please inform all Central-Plant personnel that access to the Central Plant is
13 restricted to operators on duty and vendors performing work requested by the
14 University. All operators not on duty and other personnel with no direct reason
15 to be in the Central Plant shall not be granted access to the Central Plant. If
16 illegal access is gained to the Central Plant please call 4-2555 for a non-
17 emergency event or 911 for an emergency.
18 “If an employee not on duty or other individuals with no direct need to gain
19
access to the Central Plant request access to the Central Plant please contact
20
Charles Witcher, Mike Lewis, or Dennis Curry for direction. Thank you.”
21
That was a shocking memo. Never before had access to the Central Plant been restricted for off-
22
shift personnel.
23
24 The March 13, 2011, Plaintiff letter addressed to UCDMC Plant Operation and Maintenance
Manager Charles Witcher
25
26
27 220. A few days after Mike Lewis issued the memo about access to the Central
28 Plant, Plaintiff on March 14, 2011, sent a letter to Charles Witcher and asked him respectfully

Page 71 of 72
1 for a one-step salary increase; Plaintiff also brought to Witcher’s attention safety and hygiene
2 issues in the HVAC Shop and mentioned Tod Georlich’s suicide, who was Plaintiff’s
3
replacement in the Central Plant in March 2007, and he did not survive hostility created by UC
4
Davis Medical Center management through unwritten policies and its own rules .
5
The Defendant’s response to March 13, 2011 letter addressed to Charles Witcher was
6
letter of suspension for 10 days without pay in May 2012, Defendant’s criminally
7
minded but unsuccessful provocation to kill Plaintiff on May 31, 2012 , UC Police
8
Poster with Plaintiff’s photo and description which was closely akin to FBI posters for
9
“Most Wanted “ criminals and terrorists and termination of Plaintiff ‘s employment on
10
December 7, 2012 at Plaintiff ‘s age of 61 and half not to mention one and half year
11
12 long Defendant’s psychological terror aimed at Plaintiff by Defendant’s agents and
13 officers .
14 Dear Mr. Witcher:

15
I hope it's not any surprise for you that an employee is getting concerned after
16
he found out or discovered that one group of employees in the same
17
department got quite secretly a significant wage increase (over 10%) and he
18
was left behind and forgotten and did not receive a penny in this share of
19
dollars.
20
21 It is appears that Cogen Operators wages under Title Code 8094 for Non —
22 Represented were increased from level 5. to level 11.0. (Six levels up)
23
I would not write this letter but money talk and stirring people mind and saying
24
more simply I just feel discriminated in this share of goods.
25
26 At the best of my ability to write, I will try to explain why I feel discriminated
27 and left behind like an orphan in abandoned orphanage.
28

2
Last year in August 2010 after I came back to work from vacation, my
3
coworker from HVAC shop, Bill Rabidoux asked me if I will be willing to
4
work swing shift because HVAC shop manager told him that second shift
5
would be created for the Metasys System operation outside the Central Plant.
6
7 I responded that it would be no problem.
8 However, whole conversation got my attention and I concluded that during my

9 vacation absence the Metasys Operation is still unresolved issue for somebody
10
inside the department and he is trying to fix something that is not broken.
11
My other thought was that Central Plant Operators submitted complaint and
12
they are asking to remove the Metasys Operation from the Central Plant
13
14 Shortly after, in September 2010, I received by copy of the undated but signed
15 petition by four Central Plant operators in regards to Metasys Operation
16
After I read the petition and attached to the petition the wages disclosure
17
printed from the Sacramento Bee website, the first my thought was that the
18
petition is a follow up to their earlier complaint which I thought they submitted
19
in August during my vacation absence. The petition itself alleged that Metasys
20
System operation has became full time job to monitor and it was my
21
understanding from the petition that the $ 4.00 /hour wage increase for them
22
would magically convert the full time Metasys Operation job to relaxing
23
leisure in nice resort.
24
25 Furthermore , the individuals who signed the petition alleging (without

26 mentioning my name) that I am making $ 15,000.00 more than they are( I
27 wish) earning and I am doing considerably less than they are .
28

Page 73 of 74
1 On top of this, petitioners are raising issue of three managers for twelve person
2 crew in the Central Plant.
3
I don't know how they omitted Mr. Mike Lewis in their calculations who
4
appears to be in charge of these three mentioned managers. I don't know if it is
5
lack of respect for Mr. Lewis or they are targeting Central Plant Maintenance
6
Supervisor who I as heard he became a salt in their eyes. Few days later after I
7
got the petition I have heard from source different than Central Plant that
8
Central Plant Manager Mr. Steve McGrath making accusations that I was
9
10
involved in writing this petition for Central Plant Operators.
11 I did not want to engage myself in any conflict or discussion with these
12 individuals who are attacking my wages and my duty and I did pass the copy
13 of the petition to Mr. Dennis Curry.
14
Thereafter I forgot about it and concluded this event as a "NEVER ENDING
15
TRAUMA IN THE CENTRAL PLANT " taking in consideration that the same
16
group of individuals viciously and recklessly attacked me and other people in
17
the past, caused me enormous stress, suspension, my departure from the
18
Central Plant and loss of thousands of dollars in my earning"
19
20 At the end of December 2010 I got e-mail from William about his pay raise
21 and I thought that he is joking and I wrote him back that I got five thousand
22 dollars raise, than he sent me congratulation etc. I did not believe him in spite
23 of State financial crisis, furlough, budget constraints and UC President memos
24
about the cuts and possibility of big lay off in IJC system. Basically, I ignored
25
William information and was no further discussion about the pay raise in the
26
Central Plant.
27
The other subject in December 2010 in discussion was the tragic death of the
28

Page 74 of 75
1 Central Plant employee who took his own life. Just day or two before it
2 happened, I was joking with Tods over the phone and such news was very
3 terrible and unprecedented news for me. I have a problem to get this tragic
4 event off my mind because Todd was working in the place where I have
5
experienced bully behavior toward, Rick Tunello and William Buckans and
6
later toward me from well known group of employees in Central Plant and
7
authors of the last year petition for wage increase and remarks toward me in
8
this petition.
9
10 The other December 2010 story from the Central Plant is a story of the Jeff
11 Lancaster burglarized locker and supposedly stolen photos from the Jeff's
12 locker protected by the secret lock combination.
13 UC DAVIS MEDICAL CENTER 2315 STOCKTON BOULEVARD

SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA 95817
14
December 17, 2010
15
Central Plant
16
One of the Central Plant Operators locker was broken into and personal
17
effects were removed. This is a very serious offense and will not be tolerated.
18
This incident has been reported to VICEMC Police department and to
19
20 UCDMC Human Resources department for appropriate investigation and
21 action.All lockers will have their locks replaced with new and the master file
22 will be kept confidential. Need to provide instructions on what they need to do
23 or how they will be notified.In light of the professional attitude and excellent
24 performance of the Central Plant team this incident is extremely disappointing.

25 If whoever was responsible for this would put the same effort into being a team
26 player and working with others on the Central Plant staff, the work
27 environment in the Central Plant could be that much better.In my entire career
28

Page 75 of 76
1 that consists of work at facilities both in the United States and abroad I have
2 never experienced an incident such as this. If the perpetrator is found,
3 appropriate action will be taken.
4 Mike Lewis
Principal engineer
5 Plant Operations and Maintenance
6 After I read the William's statement, talk to him and I read Mr. Lewis letter, I
7 understood that somebody supposedly opened Jeff's Lancaster locker and took
8 his personal photos.
9 As I remember the only Plant Manager had the list of all lockers codes and he
10
could only open somebody's locker. This whole story sound and looks like
11
total hoax made up for who knows what reason or for April 1s` fool's day.
12
Who want's somebody's family photos and for what reason?
13
Mr. Lewis stating that he never experienced an incident such as this, he
14
probably was not aware that in the past the former Central Plant Manager got
15
into people lockers without their presence to search for sleeping equipment
16
because he was informed that operators are sleeping on the night shift.
17
My Wages and Working Condition
18
Dear Mr. Witcher:
19
20
The wages subject came again to my attention last week because William did
21 mention again his raise and again I thought that he is trying to "pull my legs"
22 and is joking. and in light of budget cuts e.tc I did not believe what is William
23 telling me until he sent me copy of your memo which stated that he got the pay
24 raise.
25 I am working in UC Davis Medical Center almost 12 years. A lot longer then
26 many operators in the Central Plant.
27 With my departure from the Central Plant I received by the Settlement —
28

Page 76 of 77
1 Agreement $70, 000 per year salary and Associate Development Engineer
2 Position.
3 I am not sure how we got to this $70, 000.00 salary, because according to the
4 HR Salary Scale under Title Code 7182 as Non —Represented employee I
5
should be in the Middle Range or step with $ 71640.00 per year or $34.31/hr
6
which is closest to the $70,000.00 per year I got two years ago . No one step in
7
salary range under Title code 7182 is set at $70,000.00
8
The $ 70,000.00 partially compensated my overtime and other extras I was
9
receiving as Central Plant Operator. I am estimating that Central Plant
10
Operators wages with their new over 10% raise would be around $85-90 K per
11
year taking in consideration their overtime and other extra pay they are getting.
12
The next range for salary scale under Title Code 7182 is $ 80922.00 per year
13
which I believe it would comparable what the Central Plant Operators will
14
15 make after the December 2010 pay raise.
16 I wrote the introduction and I summarized the latest events in the Central in
17 this letter not without reason
18 The petitioners have the right to say in the petition whatever they want about
19 my job but I know how to operate the Central Plant and could go and do it if
20 really needed or requested by management
21 I am not sure if the petitioners would be so happy to work in the place
22 where no designated place to eat meal at lunch is or break, where they
23 would have to use filthy bathrooms, no warm and clean locker room to
24
change clothes at the winter time. I am happy for Central Plant operators
25
they got the wage increase. However, I am asking for fair and equal
26
treatment in regards to wages
27
It is my understanding from my job description that my position has primary
28

Page 77 of 78
1 responsibility for the operation and maintenance of the Central Plant.
2 It is also my understanding that Metasys System is integrated part of the
3 Central Plant and I have this duty for the full time.
4
5
Beside the Metasys Alarms I am doing other stuff requested by Patrick Putney
6
and I have well documented what I am doing beside the Metasys Operation.
7
Some days I am very busy and "dizzy" from the alarms but I don't have any
8
major problem to handle the job.
9
I don't take brakes with exception to lunch and I would like to have both
10
brakes integrated into lunch and take one hour lunch instead of two 15 minutes
11
brakes and 1/2 hour lunch. This would allow me to leave the shop to eat lunch
12
outside in cafeteria or walk around the campus to relax and get my blood
13
circulation normal
14
15 In conclusion I am respectfully asking and I would appreciate if my salary will
16 accordingly to next level under Title Code 7182 for Non —Represented
17 employees which I believe is a level 3.0
18 Sincerely
19 Jaroslaw Waszczuk

21 221. Plaintiff learned that prior to Todd Goerlich’s suicide, Goerlich frequently
22 complained to his friend Dereck Cole and his girlfriend that he had been harassed and bullied in
23 the Central Plant “by a person named Jeff.” That corresponds with William Buckans’s
24
observation how badly Todd Goerlich disliked Jeff Lancaster and, in particular, how different
25
and unapproachable Todd became when he worked a shift with Jeff Lancaster.
26
Dereck Cole was a newly hired HVAC Technician in a shop where Plaintiff worked. Cole was
27
hired just one month after Todd Georlich committed suicide, and Todd Georlich was the person
28

Page 78 of 79
1 who provided the recommendation for Dereck Cole to be hired as an HVAC Technician by UC
2 Davis Medical Center where Plaintiff had been working since 2007.
3 222. After access to the Central Plant was blocked and after Plaintiff sent his
4 letter to Charles Witcher on March 13, 2011, Charles Witcher’s secretary, Phyllis Reginelli,
5
showed up in the Central Plant with a hand-printed copy of UC Davis Policy 1616, for the UC
6
Davis Principle of Community, and attached to the policy’s roster was a handwritten Central
7
Plant Operator’s name and instructions on the roster to read and sign off on what you have
8
seen/read in these policies. That had never happened since the Central Plant was built in 1998:
9
that the secretary to the Department Head showed up with a request to read and sign a Violence
10
and Hate Policy and UC Davis Principle of Community, which was not a UC official policy. It
11
would be expected that after a suicide and locker burglary, somebody from the HR Department
12
would show up, do an investigation and provide the proper training on harassment, violence,
13
standing up to bullies, etc., for Central Plant personnel, knowing and being aware of how hostile
14
15 this place was and how it had contributed to an employee’s suicide.
16 223. The news about the pay raise got around, and in fear of turmoil, the UC
17 Davis Chancellor’s Office or UC Office of the President ordered a 2% pay raise to all UC Davis
18 Medical Center non-union employees, including to Central Plant Operators who had already
19 received a 12% pay raise. Normally, employees would receive a pay raise on July 1st if it were
20 approved after the Annual Performance Review to be given to employees for the 2010/2011
21 year. Plaintiff received the pay raise in May 2011 as well, and his salary increased from
22 $70,000.00 to $71,600 per year.
23 The April 2011 Retaliation
24
224. Instead of any response to my letter from Charles Witcher in April 2011,
25
Plaintiff’s manager, Patrick Putney, blatantly blamed him for missing and not dispatching a
26
hospital refrigerator critical alarm that resulted in a complaint against him by the hospital
27
pharmacy personnel. In a heated discussion, Putney humiliated Plaintiff in front of his teenage
28

Page 79 of 80
1 daughter, whom he had brought to the shop on that day. Plaintiff told Putney that he didn’t miss
2 such important alarms because Putney had made Plaintiff the perfect employee. The new facilities
3 were built in UCDMC and the new buildings were hooked up to the Metasys Monitoring System.
4 225. During the testing of the new building equipment, thousands of false alarms
5
from these buildings were coming to the Metasys Computer Monitoring System and Plaintiff had
6
to struggle to catch the real alarms and dispatch them. One day, when Plaintiff assumed shift from
7
the Central Plant Operators who were monitoring the alarms on others shifts, Plaintiff asked the
8
Central Plant operator why he did not clear these false alarms. Central plant operators surprised
9
Plaintiff with his response, as he said, “What are you talking about? We don’t have these
10
alarms on our computers.” Apparently, Plaintiff’s manager, Patrick Putney, with malicious
11
intent, was setting Plaintiff up to fail and to miss the real critical alarm in the jungle of thousands
12
of false alarms, which should have been disconnected from Plaintiff’s computer until the new
13
buildings were ready for service. When Plaintiff confronted Putney about it, he sarcastically
14
15 responded, “I am trying to make you perfect.” Plaintiff said ok and continued to train himself to
16 be perfect with these false alarms and not to miss the real one. Missing critical alarms and not
17 dispatching it could lead to enormous losses or even patient death in UC Davis Medical Center
18 Hospital.
19 226. Patrick Putney’s unfounded accusations about the missing refrigerator

20 critical alarm appeared to be a result of his and his assistant Dorin Daniliuc’s negligence to repair
21 the relevant refrigerator. After the alarm and complaint, it was discovered that the refrigerator was
22 due for repair, had an open work order, and the repair was not done. When Plaintiff proved that it
23 was their fault and that they had neglected their duty, they began to disrespect Plaintiff, showing
24
hostility towards Plaintiff; Plaintiff became the subject of vicious attacks, including and not limited
25
to stalking, intimidation, sabotaging Plaintiff’s job, provocations for physical confrontation and
26
unfounded accusations from these two individuals of being violent.
27
28

Page 80 of 81
1 227. In May and June 2011, Patrick Putney turned off the lights in his office and
2 positioned himself in the chair toward Plaintiff and stalked Plaintiff for hours every day. Once in
3 a while, Putney suddenly opened the door to Plaintiff’s office and yelled, “What are you doing?”
4 Plaintiff thought that Putney was crazy or on drugs.
5
No so long prior to Putney’s behavior—in March 2011—Plaintiff was making breakfasts for
6
Putney every morning and had quite a normal relationship with him and his assistant. Dorin
7
Daniliuc. Plaintiff never thought that the Putney’s behavior was staged and orchestrated by given
8
order from HR Director Stephen Chilcott and was related to UC Davis Central Plant data accessible
9
Via Matasys Alarm Control System
10
228.. Plaintiff was considering letting it go and even considering taking the blame
11
for this missing alarm just so he would not have to go through the hell he had experienced in
12
2006/2007. However, after Plaintiff saw that Charles Witcher’s assistant, Dennis Curry, got
13
involved in the missing alarm issue, Plaintiff did not take any chances of being convicted and
14
15 punished, as this had happened to one of his coworkers, Rick Tunello, in the central plant. Rick
16 Tunello had been wrongfully accused and wrongfully convicted by Dennis Curry, and wrongfully
17 suspended for a missing refrigerator alarm without pay. Plaintiff’s intervention in the case, and
18 proof that it not was not Tunello’s fault, reversed Dennis Curry’s conviction.
19 229. The behavior and vicious attacks of Patrick Putney, Dorin Daniluc, Dennis
20 Curry and Charles Witcher aimed at Plaintiff in March, April, May, June and July of 2011
21 reminded Plaintiff of the training class he attended in March 30, 2000.
22 230. The March 30, 2000 training course, “Labor Principles in Public
23 Employment” for UC Davis Medical Center supervisors exactly resembled Putney, Daniliuc,
24
Curry and Witcher’s approach to resolving the dispute. The abovementioned course for supervisors
25
was hosted by UC Davis Medical Center Human Resources Executive Director Gloria Alvarado.
26
Ms. Alvaradao’s course lecture had nothing to do with labor principles in public employment, but
27
was a class that coached supervisors how to inflict fear, to intimidate and silence employees who
28

Page 81 of 82
1 dare to complain. One of the course’s subjects was how to convince a subordinate that he is too
2 observant to demote himself. Plaintiff responded to Ms. Alvarado self-demotion instruction and
3 Plaintiff was told that this class is not for Plaintiff after Plaintiff told Ms. Alvarado that he is not a
4 supervisor but a central plant operator.
5
After a short discussion with Plaintiff, Ms. Alvarado changed subjects and ended instructing
6
supervisors who attended the class on how to take control of the crew by intimidation and fear.
7
231. Putney, Daniliuc, Curry and Witcher, regardless of who instructed them to
8
viciously and maliciously attack Plaintiff in March, April, May, June and July of 2011, were
9
perfectly aware that Plaintiff in February 2009 signed a Settlement-Agreement with the Regents
10
of the University of California and that they grossly violated the agreement by attacking and
11
harassing Plaintiff. Witcher was one of four who signed the Settlement-Agreement on Defendant
12
at the UC Regents’ behalf.
13
14
May 2011
15
232. In May 2011, Plaintiff held two separate meetings with Department Head ,
16
17 Charles Witcher, to clarify the issue with the missing refrigerator alarm, to discuss the unusual and
18 psychotic behavior of Patrick Putney toward me, which was not limited to stalking Plaintiff from
19 his dark office, suddenly opening his dark office door from the inside and screaming “What are
20 you doing?” Thereafter, within minutes Dennis Curry showing up in the shop and talking to
21 Plaintiff like Plaintiff did something wrong, they both laughed in Patrick Putney’s Office. .
22 233. In May 2011 Patrick Putney held meetings with the crew and in a
23 threatening manner told everybody how good he is at firing people from the job if they not behave
24 up to his standards. One of the new shop employees, Dereck Cole, became so frightened that he
25 asked Putney if he was aiming his threats at him. One year later, Dereck Cole became another
26
victim of Patrick’s Putney, Dennis Curry, and Charles Witcher’s schemes and yet another
27
candidate to look for new employment. He was unspeakably victimized and asked me to represent
28

Page 82 of 83
1 him with his complaints against Patrick Putney and Charles Witcher. Another Patrick Putney
2 victim is 72-year-old HVAC technician Richard Pawlaczyk. The Richard Pawlaczyk’s case was
3 pending with State of California Fair Housing and Employment. Sadly and unexpectedly Richard
4 passed away on February 10, 2013. Consequently in month of May 2011 Plaintiff’s manager
5
Patrick Putney denied Plaintiff’s access to his time cards , work orders system and to sabotage
6
Plaintiff job Putney denied Plaintiff’s access to many Metasys system future . Plaintiff failed to
7
understand what caused such Putney’s rage against Plaintiff. Plaintiff knows now that Putney
8
follow the order of his superiors and that decision was made to terminate Plaintiff employment.
9
234. Plaintiff documented the May 2011 events in two separate letters
10
addressed to Charles Witcher and to Gina Harwood, who was assigned HR Consultant
11
to the HVAC shop. The letter to Charles Witcher dated May 24, 2011 is the best
12
description what Plaintiff was going through.
13
“As I stated during our last meeting, I do not want to file a complaint against
14
15 Patrick Putney. I would prefer for the situation to improve somehow and for
16 everything to return to normal in the workplace .Unfortunately, it does not
17 appear that this will be the case. Patrick is still working very hard to get on my
18 nerves and to eventfully provoke me into a verbal confrontation. During my
19 unfortunate heated discussion with Patrick about the neglected refrigerator, he

20 humiliated and ridiculed me in front of his teenage stepdaughter. His kids often
21 stay in his office and do their school homework there. I have never had
22 anything against his bringing his kids to work, but in the situation of the heated
23 argument, he went overboard. After the incident, we returned to work on
24
Monday, and I tried to smooth out everything. I even offered him breakfast,
25
but my attempt to make peace with him did not work, and the situation still
26
does not look good.
27
Shortly afterward, Patrick in a retaliatory manner requested that I find all of the
28

Page 83 of 84
1 "unreliable alarms" in the Metasys . Without discussion, I found these unreliable
2 alarms for him. It took me almost a week to complete the task, after which Patrick
3 again displayed his vicious behavior and upset me so badly that I thought I was
4 suffering a stroke or a minor heart attack. Patrick basically ceased normal
5
communication with me, including not saying "good morning” or “bye” at the end
6
of the day. As you know, Department Head Assistant Dennis Curry came to the
7
heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) shop, and then we talked
8
Patrick Putney’s behavior and missing refrigerator alarm As I had known Patrick
9
for quite a while and was aware of his 360-degree turnaround, I knew the situation
10
was not going to end with my meeting with Dennis. I wrote in an email to Dennis
11
that the situation would probably get worse before it got better.
12
After the situation where Patrick failed to appreciate my finding the unreliable
13
alarms, a furious Patrick came to my office, together with Dorin as a witness,
14
15 and dumped on my desk the policy and procedures for central plant operators,
16 which explains how to operate the Metasys system, plus my job description.
17 He clearly intended to intimidate me, speaking the following words: "Do you
18 understand what this policy is for?" I thanked him the next day for providing
19 me with the Metasys policy three years after I had joined the HVAC shop and
20 12 years after I had begun operating Metasys. To participate in his "game," I
21 decided to provide him with the link to the UC Davis Medical Center
22 (UCDMC) Parking and Transportation Services Office and to advise him to
23 pay for his parking permit. For the past three years, he had parked for free on
24
the UCDMC premises by hiding his car inside the shop and playing a little
25
"catch me if you can” game with the parking cops. On top of this, I decided to
26
make this comment to him "What kind of managerial example is he setting for
27
his crew by showing that it is okay to cheat and steal from the employer while
28

Page 84 of 85
1 at the same time having the ambition to became assistant PO&M [plant
2 operation and maintenance] manager after Dennis Curry retires?”
3 I had hoped that after I talked to you, he would eventually stop trying to
4 intimidate and mistreat me.
5
The peace, however, did not last long. Yesterday and today, Patrick started a
6
new "kids game." He turned off the light in his office, which is next to mine, and
7
decided to sit at another desk nearby and watch me from the dark background to
8
see what I was doing on my computer. This made me very uncomfortable to
9
work at my station. This happened all day yesterday and today when I was
10
reviewing work orders; he came into my office and, from behind, loudly asked
11
me what I was doing. I told him that I was looking at completed workers. Then,
12
he responded that I had no right to look at work orders because it was not my
13
job; he told me that my job was to watch the Metasys. I knew he was trying to
14
15 create a confrontation with me for any reason. I simply told him not to worry
16 and that I had been reviewing and closing all of the completed work orders for
17 almost two years using Putney’s name and password, which was, of course, a
18 violation of UC policy giving me his password and order me to do his job.
19 The previous incident and today's incident show clearly that Patrick has no
20 remorse about hunting me down. From my perspective, I do not have a choice but
21 to defend myself against his vicious and unpredictable aggression.
22 I was surprised and shocked today that I was kicked out of my office after 3:15
23 PM by Dennis per Patrick’s request and thus could not finish this letter then. I
24
still don't understand why I got kicked out. I did not park my car without a
25
permit, and I did not do private jobs in the company shop. I just wanted a few
26
minutes after work to finish my letter to the PO&M manager.
27
I am not sure how I will concentrate on and do my job tomorrow as required if my
28

Page 85 of 86
1 supervisor is doing everything possible to make my life miserable and hellish.
2 To avoid going through this hell and finally end Patrick’s hostility, I would be
3 glad to offer an apology to Patrick. However, I am not sure how and for what
4 reason I should apologize to him.
5
Should I apologize to Patrick by saying that I have been doing a good job for
6
the past three years and don't have a history of neglecting my duties and of
7
missing Metasys alarms at UCDMC?”
8
235. Plaintiff did not realize or know in May 2011 that the vicious attack
9
against Plaintiff was performed with the same goal as that of the attack of 2006/2007, which
10
resulted in Plaintiff’s brutal removal from the Central Plant and his moving to the HVAC Shop.
11
The goal in both attacks was to cut off Plaintiff from the source of information about the electric
12
power generation by the UC Davis Medical Center cogeneration facility called the Central Plant.
13
The Metasys Monitoring System and Work Order System provided Plaintiff with all of the
14
15 information about the Central Plant’s operation and electric power, steam, hot water, and chill
16 water production.
17 236. Plaintiff thought that the 2009 Settlement-Agreement that Plaintiff signed
18 with the Defendant, the Regents of the University of California, would protect Plaintiff from the
19 new attack if Plaintiff had not violated the Settlement-Agreement.

20 237.. The March 13, 2011, letter from Plaintiff to UC Davis Medical Center
21 Plant Operation and Maintenance Department (PO&M) Manager Charles Witcher raised red
22 flags, and the PO&M Department Management received an order from above that Plaintiff had
23 to be cut off from any source of detailed information provided to him by the Metasys Monitoring
24
System about the Central Plant and be removed from the premises at any means. The UC Davis
25
Medical Center PO&M Department Manager was the one of four UC Davis employees who
26
signed the 2009 Settlement –Agreement and Witcher was perfectly aware that unwarranted
27
attack against Plaintiff violates the signed Settlement –Agreement
28

Page 86 of 87
June 2011
1
2 238. Due to continuous harassment and sabotaging the Plaintiff’s job, the
3 condition of Plaintiff’s employment became intolerably stressful to the point that on June 22, 2011,
4 on short notification, Plaintiff asked Department Head Charles Witcher to give Plaintiff 3 days of
5 vacation to get away from Patrick Putney. The vacation days were granted and Plaintiff went home.
6
Regardless of the stress and feelings, in good faith and will, Plaintiff sent an email to Patrick
7
Putney and asked him to restore and normalize professional relationship.
8
239. Plaintiff did not get any response from Putney. Plaintiff did not know in June 2011
9
that a similar action to 2006/2007 action against Plaintiff was underway; a false complaint was
10
filed against Plaintiff with the HR Department and Plaintiff became the subject of second witch
11
hunt within two years taking into consideration date of the Settlement –Agreement Plaintiff signed
12
with the Regents of the University of California in February 2009. The month of June was the
13
month of annual employee performance review for the year 2010/2011 .In June 2011 Plaintiff did
14
not receive his employee performance review from his two supervisors Patrick Putney and Dorin
15
16 Daniliuc as it was mandated by the UC Davis Policy PPSM 23.
17 July 2011
18
240. On July 8, 2011, Plaintiff held a meeting with HR Labor Relation
19
Consultant Gina Harwood about the harassment and retaliation Plaintiff was experiencing. During
20
the meeting, Harwood deliberately failed to disclose the fact that the false and fabricated complaint
21
was filed by Plaintiff’s two supervisors, Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc. A few days later,
22
Plaintiff was officially informed that the complaint has been filed against him and that an HR
23
investigator had been assigned to investigate the allegation. The assigned HR Investigator was HR
24
attorney Danesha Nichols, who was deployed from the UC Davis campus to UC Davis Medical
25
Center in October 2010 after Central Plant Operators submitted a black mail petition for pay raise.
26
27 241. Danesha Nichols was very familiar with the previous attack against Plaintiff
28 in 2006/2007 due to her involvement in Plaintiff’s arbitration process against the Defendant in

Page 87 of 88
1 2008, which resulted in Plaintiff’s February 2009 Settlement-Agreement with the UC Regents.
2 Nichols aggressively and as soon as possible tried to schedule an interrogation meeting with
3 Plaintiff. Plaintiff refused to meet with Nichols because HR refused to disclose to Plaintiff who
4 had filed the false complaint against Plaintiff, and Defendant’ new attack against Plaintiff was a
5
gross and despicable violation and breach of the Settlement-Agreement signed by Defendant.
6
242. Besides the investigation issues, Plaintiff on July 17 and July 24, 2011, sent
7
letters to UC Davis Chief Counsel Steven Drown and asked him to intervene to stop Danesha
8
Nichols and others from violating the 2009 Settlement-Agreement. UC Davis Chief Counsel
9
Steven Drown was one of four UC Davis employees who had signed the 2009 Settlement on the
10
UC Regents’ behalf. Plaintiff is not only suspecting but most likely that not that UC Chief Counsel
11
Steven Drown was the person who in 2005 dispatched Stephen Chilcott to UC Davis Medical
12
Center to remove Plaintiff and William Buckans from the Central Plant under false fabricated
13
accusations and allegations and terminate the Plaintiff ‘s employment if possible.
14
15 243.. As a result of Plaintiff’s complaints to UC Davis Chief Counsel Steven
16 Drown about the Settlement-Agreement violations by the Defendant, the UC Davis Chief
17 Compliance Director, Wendy Delemendo, contacted Plaintiff and tried to convince Plaintiff to
18 file the complaint under the UC Whistle Blowing Policy. Plaintiff refused due to his and his
19 coworker’s experience in 2006/2007 when he helped his coworker William Buckans with the
20 Whistle Blowing case related to massive machine oil discharge via a storm drain to the Sacramento
21 River.
22 244. On July 29, 2011, Plaintiff responded to Delmendo’s whistleblowing
23 complaint invitation by letter with many questions about HVAC shop supervisor Dorin Daniliuc’s
24
relationship with two UC Davis Medical Center directors, Robert Taylor and Shelton Duruisseau
25
The Daniliuc’ relation with these two directors was to provide them HVAC services in their
26
private residences in exchange for Daniluc’s supervisory position in the HVAC shop. The
27
questions were never answered by UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendy Delmendo or any
28

Page 88 of 89
1 of five investigation reports written by Danesha Nichols in December 2011 and February 2012.
2 245. Plaintiff also asked Executive Director Mike Boyd, who is a listed
3 Defendant in FAC and SAC, for 30 days of administrative leave due to the ongoing assault on
4 Plaintiff. Plaintiff also asked HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott to intervene in the case and
5
stop the retaliation and further harassment. Plaintiff did not get a response from the HR Director,
6
but Director Mike Boyd denied Plaintiff’s request for 30 days of administrative leave. However,
7
Director Mike Boyd, together with the HR Workers Compensation Manager, advised Plaintiff to
8
file a fraudulent Workers Compensation Claim to leave the premises.
9
246. Plaintiff later learned that an HR Director Stephen Chilcott assembled the
10
team that would lead to Plaintiff’s conviction and termination of Plaintiff’s employment in
11
September 2011.
12
247. Also in July 2011, one of the HVAC shop plumbers, Kenny Diede, walked
13
into Plaintiff’s office and complained to Plaintiff that that his coworker Bill Rabidaux’s son was
14
15 illegally accessing shop computers. Bill Rabidaux’s son was a twice-convicted child
16 pornography felon on probation; he was prohibited to have a computer at home by court
17 order and was not allowed access to any computer with Internet. He should not have been
18 allowed to enter the HVAC shop premises at all.
19 248. This individual was a frequent guest in the HVAC shop, and his presence
20 was tolerated by Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc because Bill Rabidaux had a special
21 relationship with Charles Witcher’s assistant, Dennis Curry.
22 After Kenny Diede reported to Plaintiff that Bill Rabidaux’s son was accessing a company
23 computer, Plaintiff told Kenny Diede that Plaintiff would pass the information on to Patrick Putney
24
when he came back to his office. When Plaintiff told Putney about it, he got upset that Kenny
25
Diede had not waited for him with information and angrily asked Kenny whose side Kenny is s
26
on—“Jerry’s (Plaintiff’s) side or Putney’s side?” Kenny’s response was that he was not on
27
anybody’s side and that he was working in the shop and did not appreciate having a child
28

Page 89 of 90
1 pornography felon accessing shop computers. Thereafter Kenny Diede had to look for a new job
2 due to harassment and intolerable working conditions, as Patrick Putney, Dorin Daniliuc, and
3 Charles Witcher created hell for him.
4 249. In June or July 2011 Plaintiff did not receive his employee performance
5
review from his two supervisors, Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc, as was mandated by the UC
6
Davis Policy PPSM 23.
7
250. In July 2011, UC Davis Health System HR Executive Director Chilcott,
8
with full disregard of the February 2009 Settlement-Agreement signed by Plaintiff with UC
9
Regents and full premeditation and disregard of UC Davis Policy PPSM 23 and PPSM 62 and
10
UCDMC Policy 1616, singled out Plaintiff for termination of employment by ordering that
11
Plaintiff should not be provided with the Annual Performance Review (Evaluation) mandated by
12
PPSM 23 outlining Plaintiff’s job performance for 2010/2011, thus depriving Plaintiff of any
13
possibility to utilize administrative remedies to resolve the dispute under UC Davis Policy PPSM
14
15 70. Annual Performance Reviews (Evaluations) are the most important documents in the
16 employee–employer relationship; Jensen v. Hewlett-Packard Co., 14 Cal. App. 4th 958, 18 Cal.
17 Rptr. 2d 83 (Cal. Ct. App. 1993).
18 251. Only Stephen Chilcott as the HR Executive Director had the power to
19 order not to provide Plaintiff with his annual evaluation and deprive him of administrative
20 remedies under the UC Policy PPSM 70.
21 252.. In July and August 2011, UC Davis Health System HR Executive Director
22 Stephen Chilcott, in conspiracy with Director Michael Boyd and HR Workers Compensation
23 Manager Hugh Parker (Chilcott’s subordinate), made an attempt to remove Plaintiff from the
24
premises through the false and fraudulent Workers Compensation Claim. Plaintiff refused to file
25
a false claim, but a claim was filed on Plaintiff’s behalf anyway.
26
253. It is possible that UCDMC HR Workers’ Compensation Manager Hugh
27
Parker forged Plaintiff’s signature and filed the Workers’ Compensation claim on Plaintiff’s behalf,
28

Page 90 of 91
1 taking into consideration that on May 31, 2012, Hugh Parker coordinated ill-minded but
2 unsuccessful provocation to kill Plaintiff or end his employment in UCDMC Trauma Unit #11 by
3 an assembled UC Davis special team nicknamed in the documents “UC Davis Death Squad.”
4 254. At and of July 2011, Plaintiff’s private external hard drive in his office was
5
deliberately and “professionally” damaged when Plaintiff left his office for lunch. The external
6
hard drive circuit board was literally fried, most likely by high electric current and the damage was
7
invisible outside. When Plaintiff removed the cover, it was evident that the damage had been
8
caused by somebody who know how to do it—most likely Plaintiff’s manager, Putney, who by
9
trade had knowledge of what to do. Plaintiff summarized this incident in the Mistreatment
10
Complaint that he filed on August 30, 2011, with the UC Davis Medical Center HR Mistreatment
11
Office managed by HR Equal Opportunity Employment Manager Cindy Oropeza.
12
“I probably would not ask my doctor for stress leave on August 2, 2011,
13
but a few days prior I left for stress leave when my personal 500-GB,
14
15 USB-powered external hard drive (HD) had been fried/damaged by
16 somebody after I left it connected to the computer in my office and I left
17 my office for a one-hour lunch. This was a trigger point for my decision to
18 ask my doctor for a medical leave. The person who apparently fried my
19 hard drive with higher voltage knew what he was doing and how to do it. I
20 did not find any external physical damage to my hard drive but, after I
21 removed the cover, I found that the circuit board and motor had been
22 burned.
23 I am almost certain of who and why it was done, but I did not catch anybody by
24
hand. Therefore, I can only write and whine about this event. I did not take any
25
chances by remaining in my office any longer and getting electrocuted like my HD.”
26
255. It happened after over three months of nonstop attacks against Plaintiff including,
27
and not limited to, stalking and sabotaging Plaintiff’s job as orchestrated by the UC Davis Health
28

Page 91 of 92
1 System HR department, the UC Davis chief counsel, and the UC Davis chief compliance office
2 and was carried out by individuals such as Patrick Putney, Dorin Daniliuc, Dennis Curry, Charles
3 Witcher, Robert Taylor, Danesha Nichols, Gina Harwood and Shelton Duruisseau.
4 256. Defendant were perfectly aware that Plaintiff is 60 years old and had open-heart
5
surgery a few years ago. Plaintiff was using nine different prescription medicines to survive every
6
day, including and not limited to medicine for high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression.
7
8 August 2011
9
257. In July 2011, Plaintiff asked many times and begged for the harassment to stop, as
10
well as the sabotaging of Plaintiff’s duties and job, so as not to escalate the conflict. Plaintiff’s
11
appeals did not work, and Plaintiff had to evacuate himself from the job site due to enormous
12
emotional distress caused by PO&M, the HR department management, and HR investigators.
13
Plaintiff’s physician placed Plaintiff on work-related stress sick leave until September 1, 2011. By
14
going on work-related stress sick leave, Plaintiff was hoping that, during his absence from work,
15
everything would settle down and Plaintiff would be able to continue his employment. Plaintiff
16
17 was also hoping that the UCDM HR assigned investigator, Attorney Danesha Nichols, would
18 interview all Plaintiff’s coworkers from the shop and would clarify the issues of the false and
19 fabricated accusations against Plaintiff. Plaintiff forgot or did not know in August 2011 that
20 Danesha Nichols was involved in the previous Plaintiff’s case together with Stephen Chilcott and
21 that Danesha Nichols was deployed in October 2010 to UC Davis Medical Center to monitor the
22 situation with the black –mail pay raise for the central plant operators.
23 258. Plaintiff’s coworker, Kenny Diede, was slandered and defaced on his annual
24 evaluation by Patrick Putney for reporting a twice-convicted child pornography felon for
25 accessing company computers. Later on, Plaintiff represented Kenny Diede in his complaints
26
pursuant to UC Davis Complaint Resolution Policy PPSM 70 and Whistleblowing Retaliation
27
Policy to keep his job with UC Davis Medical Center.
28

Page 92 of 93
1 259. The August 2, 2011 was Plaintiff’s last physical presence and last working
2 day with the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California, and Plaintiff employment was
3 never restored as it was prior to the March 13, 2011 letter Plaintiff wrote to Charles Witcher and
4 prior to the incident with the critical missing refrigerator alarm.
5
260. On August 30, 2011, Plaintiff filed an official complaint against his
6
manager Patrick Putney with the UCDMC HR Mistreatment Office. The complaint was
7
incorporated into ‘Danesha Nichols’ phony investigation instead to be investigated separately by
8
the HR Mistreatment Office
9
261. Plaintiff was ready to go back to work on September 1st, 2011 and assume
10
his duty after 30 days of stress-related sick leave. Unexpectedly, on August 31, 2011, Plaintiff’s
11
last day of stress-related sick leave, Charles Witcher sent to Plaintiff a letter by e-mail that
12
informed Plaintiff that he was placing me on investigatory leave and that Plaintiff could not come
13
back to work. Furthermore, Charles Witcher informed Plaintiff is prohibited to contact university
14
15 employees and that the investigation would be finished in 14 days.
16 262. Plaintiff became very upset, stressed, and angry that could not go back to
17 work. Plaintiff got feeling that he would never get his job back, knowing that it was already
18 awarded to Bill Rabidaux, the father of the twice-convicted child pornography felon. Bill
19 Rabidoux should be punished, together with shop supervisors, for his participation in covering up
20 the parole violation of his sick-minded relative, instead of having the job granted to Plaintiff by
21 the Settlement-Agreement with the UC Regents. Also, Plaintiff would like to mention that when
22 Plaintiff was leaving the shop on August 2, 2011, Plaintiff had not had any problems with any of
23 his coworkers throughout the course of Plaintiff’s employment in the HVAC shop for four years.
24
25 September 2011
26
263. The UC Davis Medical Center PO&M Department Manager Charles
27
Witcher’s letter, dated August 31, 2011, placing Plaintiff on investigatory leave was an
28

Page 93 of 94
1 unsuccessful attempt to force Plaintiff to quit his job or to participate in the investigation against
2 himself. The orchestrated bogus investigation was based on fabricated and unfounded accusations-
3 - that had no paper trail or proof in Plaintiff personal HR or departmental file. Following the
4 Charles Witcher letter, on September 6, 2011, the UCDMC HR assigned investigator ‘Danesha
5
Nichols to send an e-mail to Plaintiff and basically ordered Plaintiff to meet her the next day in
6
the HR Office. The HR Personnel has no direct jurisdiction or power to give orders to employees
7
from different departments then Human Resources Department. Nichols did not follow the proper
8
procedure to schedule the investigatory meeting.
9
264. Plaintiff did not know at that point that Nichols had already interviewed the
10
assembled team for cause, conviction and Plaintiff employment termination. However, Plaintiff
11
suspected that something was not right because Plaintiff did not get any information from his
12
coworkers from the HVAC shop that any of them were interviewed by Nichols. It was a clear
13
indication that decision was made to terminate Plaintiff’s employment.
14
15 265. Plaintiff was informed by the UC Davis Public Record Act office that
16 Nichols’s report that was issued as a cause to terminate Plaintiff on September 23, 2011, was
17 destroyed and was not available to Plaintiff to obtain from Nichols. Nichols most likely lied to
18 Public Record Act personnel because Nichols provided the copy of the Report to HR Workers
19 Compensation Office Manager Hugh Parker who was coordinator in May 2012 to end Plaintiff’s
20 employment in the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit.
21 266.. Plaintiff responded angrily to Danesha Nichols’ request and refused to
22 participate, similar to 2006/2007 UCDMC’s prosecution.
23 267. Plaintiff asked the Mistreatment Office Manager, Cindi Oropeza,(listed
24
Defendant in FAC and SAC) to add Danesha Nichols and Charles Witcher to Plaintiff’s
25
mistreatment complaint, which Plaintiff filed against Patrick Putney on August 30, 2011.
26
268. Following Danesha Nichols’ request for a meeting with her on September
27
12, 2011, Charles Witcher sent me a letter and accused me of inappropriate communication with
28

Page 94 of 95
1 Danesha Nichols, transmitting the same baseless accusation of violence and discrimination and
2 making threats to take disciplinary action against me if I would not cease my communication about
3 the investigation with my coworkers. Charles Witcher did not mention the 2009 settlement –
4 agreement in his rant aimed at Plaintiff. The letter was written by HR because Charles Witcher
5
was a only tool in the hands of HR Director Stephen Chilcott and Charles Witcher with education
6
did not know how to write memos and letters.
7
269. Plaintiff responded to Charles Witcher’s letter on September 16,
8
2011, with the following words:
9
“First, I am requesting that you in your managerial capacity make immediate
10
decision and stop holding me hostage in my own home under the umbrella of
11
"Investigatory Leave with Pay" and let me return to work unconditionally.
12
You and HR Director Steven Chillcot acted like terrorists and have enslaved
13
me in my own home and you are both torching me with psychological terror to
14
15 force me to confess to the crimes based on fabricated false and groundless
16 accusations and allegations.
17 I am not your and Mr. Chillcot’s hostage and you both have to end this hostage
18 game immediately. I have been an employee of the University of California for
19 over 12 years and I am requesting to be treated like an employee of the

20 University of California with dignity and respect, as is shown on my Employee
21 Performance Reports, which many have your approval signature.
22 The PO&M and HR Management shall not act like a terrorist network toward
23 workers if problems arise, but shall solve the problems in a objective and
24
diligent way without bias, prejudice, and discrimination.”
25
Second, as I previously stated in my multiple correspondences, you had a
26
chance in your management capacity to resolve the problem in May 2011 and
27
later, and you completely failed to do so. So please do not write me about your
28

Page 95 of 96
1 management capacity because it appears that your management capacity is not
2 in proper synchronization with your ability to act in the way you should as the
3 Department Head. You cannot and you shall not protect someone who is
4 misusing University property, stealing, cheating, stalking, harassing, and
5
abusing not only his own subordinates but also abusing animals and members
6
of his own family. You shall not protect those who are working part-time and
7
getting paid a full-time salary, regardless of whether or not if they installed air
8
conditioner equipment in Director Taylor’s private residence. You shall stop
9
attacking and threatening those who are trying to put a stop to such activities
10
mentioned above.”
11
12
270. Plaintiff was so stressed out and already was using antidepressant and
13
nitroglycerine, and escalation of the conflict by Defendant forced Plaintiff to seek a doctor and
14
15 psychologist’s help to cope with the enormous emotional stress and anxiety in relation to
16 employment situation.
17 272. On September 22, 2011, Plaintiff’s physician placed Plaintiff on the work
18 stress-related sick leave until January 5, 2012.
19 273. On September 23, 2011, Plaintiff received an e-mail from one of my

20 former Central Plant coworker William Buckans that Bill Rabidaux (father of the child porn
21 felon who was accessing UCDMC computers in the HVAC shop) announced to others that
22 Plaintiff was fired from job and that
23 274. Plaintiff was not going back and anticipated that this was going to happen.
24
Apparently, Plaintiff physician who placed Plaintiff on stress-related sick leave stopped the
25
execution. Plaintiff did not think that Bill Roubideaux lied or made up that my employment
26
termination took place. The Roubideaux’s special relationship with Dennis Curry and Patrick
27
Putney made Plaintiff believed that Dennis Curry or Patrick Putney leaked the information about
28

Page 96 of 97
1 Plaintiff’s employment termination before the termination letter was sent to Plaintiff .
2 275. Roubideaux was very happy to announce my termination because he was
3 awarded my job. For the record, I asked HR to investigate this event. Of course, HR denied that
4 Plaintiff was terminated. However, two days prior Plaintiff’s employment termination
5
announcement by Bill Rubidoux, the PO&M Manager Charles Witcher sent Plaintiff a letter
6
with threats to terminate Plaintiff’s employment and words that the Plaintiff will be escorted to
7
the conference room for interview on September 21, 2011. Apparently, the UC Davis Police was
8
in standby to escort Plaintiff in and out or for the same reason as on May 31, 2012. Also, at same
9
time Bill Rubidoux was permanently moved from downstairs to Plaintiff’s upstairs office.
10
276. On September 26, 2012, by letter Plaintiff asked University of California
11
Office of the President (UCOP) Vice President of Human Resources, Mr. Dwain Duckett, for
12
intervention and independent investigation of the case. In the letter to Mr. Duckett Plaintiff
13
wrote:
14
15 , “By this letter, I am respectfully requesting from your office intervention to
16 stop the constant assault, harassment and vicious vendetta against me for last
17 few months by UCDMC PO&M and HR Department Management. The
18 conspiracy against me to end my employment with University of California is
19 so unspeakable and deceptive that I have a problem to find words to properly

20 describe the deception and heinous vendetta against a 60-year-old Polish
21 immigrant and employee of 12 years with University of California.”
22 277. On September 27, Plaintiff filed a Short Disability Claim with Liberty
23 Mutual Insurance Company of Boston The Disability Claim itself is another chapter that is
24
connected to this case.
25
October 2011
26
27
278. On October 4, 2011, Plaintiff filed a complaint with the State Bar of
28

Page 97 of 98
1 California against UC Davis Medical Center’s two Human Resources Department Attorneys,
2 Executive Director of Human Resources Department in UC Davis Medical Center Stephen
3 Edward Chillcott, Bar # 196905 and Danesha Nicole Nichols, Investigation Coordinator in the
4 Human Resources Department and subordinate of Mr. Chillcott, who engaged in unethical
5
behavior, conspiracy against Plaintiff, and gross misconduct. State Bar Case No. 11-31088.
6
7 279. Due to constant unfounded accusations by Danesha Nichols, Charles
8 Witcher, and others, Plaintiff thought that maybe someone had filed the false complaint with the
9 UC Davis Police Department and accused me of violence and discrimination and other crimes
10 Plaintiff did not commit.

11 280. To clear this issue, on October 6, Plaintiff asked UC Davis Police Cpt.
12 Joyce Souza from the Professional Standard Unit to search my Police Record and check if any
13 record with my name was there.
14 Plaintiff, in his eight-page e-mail entitled “Request for Information in regards to the
15
unfounded accusation against me from UCDMC HR Attorneys and other individuals,”
16
pasted multiple examples of the despicable, unfounded, and defacing Plaintiff accusations. .
17
In his e-mail to UC Davis Police Cpt. Joy Souza with cc. to UC Davis Police Lt. John Pike (the
18
same Lt. John Pike who was pepper spraying protesting students on November 18, 2011 on the
19
UC Davis Campus).
20
281. Plaintiff wrote to Cpt. Joyce Souza on October 5, 2011 in his eight pages
21
e-mail letter:
22
“Dear Captain Souza:
23
I have been working for 12 years in the UC Davis Medical Center Plant
24
25 Operation and Maintenance, Sacramento Department. In last few months I
26 have been constantly accused by the UCDMC HR Attorney Danesha Nichols
27 and PO&M Department Manager Charles Witcher of being violent, making
28 discriminatory comments, etc. without any factual evidence in my employment

Page 98 of 99
1 record, like evaluation or written or verbal warning.
2 I would appreciate it if you would let me know if any complaint has been
3 filed by anyone against me with the UC Davis Police Department (UC
4 Campus or UC Medical Center) for the abovementioned fabricated
5
accusations and allegations for the period from
6
March 1, 2011 to the present time.
7
If so, then I would be glad to hear from the UC Davis Police Department
8
that the allegations against me are being investigated, and I will be glad to
9
answer any question related to the complaint. I would be glad to talk with
10
the UC Police Investigation Unit/Detectives instead of crooked HR
11
Attorneys from UCDMC.”
12
282. On October 6, 2011, Captain Joyce Souza from the UC Davis Police
13
Department responded to Plaintiff’s inquiries dated October 5, 2011, in regard to despicable and
14
15 unfounded accusations fabricated by the Defendant against Plaintiff. Captain Joyce Souza, in her
16 response, wrote:
17 Dear Mr. Waszczuk,

I have performed a check of our records system and there is nothing noting your name.
18 Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
Captain Joyce A. Souza
19 UC Davis Police Department
20 283. Plaintiff noticed that Captain Joyce Souza cc’d her e-mail response to her
21 superior, UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza, and UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer
22 Wendy Delmendo, who assigned, in July 2011, UC Davis attorney Danesha Nichols to conduct a
23 pseudo-investigation against Plaintiff to fabricate a cause for Plaintiff’s termination of
24 employment on September 23, 2011, which did not happen.
25
284. On the same day, October 6, 2011, in response to Captain Souza’s
26
information, Plaintiff replied to and thanked Captain Souza for information about Plaintiff’s
27
police record, and Plaintiff cc’d his response to Chief Annette Spicuzza; Lt. John Pike; UC Davis
28

Page 99 of 100
1 Chancellor Linda Katehi; UC Davis Medical Center CEO Ann Madden Rice; UC HR Vice
2 President Dwain Duckett; UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo; UC Davis
3 Medical Center Directors Michael Boyd, Robert Taylor, Shelton Duruisseau and Stephen
4 Chilcott and investigator Danesha Nichols, who was fabricating, together with others, despicable
5
accusations against Plaintiff.
6
. 285. Also in October 2011, Plaintiff received a letter from the UCDMC HR
7
Disability Unit Counselor, Dennis Dark, who bragged in his correspondence about identifying
8
the job limitations and restrictions Plaintiff has. This made Plaintiff believe that Defendant had
9
10 changed course and were trying to find for Plaintiff a new place to work in UCDMC. Plaintiff
11 did not pay much attention to Mr. Dark’s proposition because his job in the HVAC shop as
12 Assistant Development Engineer fit Plaintiff perfectly and Plaintiff had no restrictions or
13 limitations to do the job with Plaintiff’s health and condition, with the exception of the stalking
14 and harassing by Plaintiff’s supervisors who made his life miserable and work conditions
15 intolerable.
16 286. On October 10, 2011, the UC Davis Medical Center HR investigator and attorney
17 Danesha Nichols sent to HVAC shop employee Kenneth Diede a threating and intimidating e-mail
18 message. Kenneth Diede was the employee who in July 2011 was reported to be a twice-convicted
19
child pornography felon on parole who had illegally accessed the HVAC shop computer and was
20
prohibited by court order to have or touch any commuter, especially one with Internet. Danesha
21
Nichols covered up the child porn criminal activities issue in her pseudo-investigation reports.
22
287. On October 11, 2011, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendant with
23
the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for Harassment, Retaliation, and ongoing
24
conspiracy against Plaintiff in the University of California Davis Medical Center.
25
288. On October 25, 2011, Plaintiff sent a request to the UC Davis Public
26
record Act office and requested documents related to the UCDMC CENTRAL PLANT - JEFF
27
28

Page 100 of 101

3 UCDMC CENTRAL PLANT - TODD GOERLICH'S SUICIDE ON DECEMBER 22,
4 2010.
5 289. On October 26, 2011, Plaintiff received a response from the University of
6 California Office of the President HR Director Christopher Simon, who informed Plaintiff that
7 UC Office of the President rejected Plaintiff’s inquiry to intervene in the case and conduct an
8
independent investigation.
9
“Dear Mr. Waszczuk:
10
This is in response to your faxes dated 9/25/2011 and 9/30/2011 to Vice
11
President Duckett in which you raised several concerns about management
12
actions at UC Davis Medical Center. I understand that these issues are
13
currently being investigated by the UC Davis Compliance Officer, Wendi
14
Delmendo.
15
The Office of the President provides oversight to the ten Campus University of
16
California system, while the Chancellor of each campus has responsibility for
17
18 the organization and operation of the campus. With the investigation by Ms.
19 Delmendo currently in progress, it would be inappropriate for the Office of the
20 President to intervene in this matter.
21 We have asked Ms. Delmendo to keep us apprised of the progress of this
22 investigation. We are confident that your serious concerns are being

23 appropriately addressed at this time.
24 Sincerely,
Christopher G. Simon
25 Director, HR Compliance

Dear Director Simon:
8
I appreciate your time and your response on behalf of Vice President Duckett.
9
10 It is almost one month passed by since I asked Vice President Duckett for
11 intervention in this case .
12 I would like to mention that the previous UC HR Vice President Mrs. Judith
13 Boyette , had no any problem to intervene if needed and respond personally to
14 employees complaint letters .

15 In my response to your letter I would try not to repeat what I wrote already in
16 my multi correspondence to Vice President Duckett , Mrs. Delmendo and
17 others UC Officials but at some point I have to rely on the facts of events and
18 my record and it would be difficult not to mention again what did happen .
19
It would be unnecessary to ask Vice President Duckett for intervention and
20
send the
21
Open Letter to The Honorable Members of UC Davis Ethics and Compliance
22
Risk Committee and the California State Assembly Members,and The Regents
23
Of The University of California entitled: "I FEEL LIKE A HUNTED JEW
24
DURING THE HOLOCAUST"
25
if, after my respectful request on July 13, 2011, I sent to UC Davis Medical
26
Center HR Executive Director Mr. Stephen Chilcott to intervene in the case.
27
Director Chilcott's subordinate, Investigation-Coordinator, Danesha Nichols,
28

Page 102 of 103
1 would start her investigation or at least she start her investigation, after I sent a
2 lengthy letter dated July 31, 2011 to UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Mrs.
3 Dalmendo than would it would not be necessary to alert UC Office of the
4 President.
5
Instead of the investigation, the UCDMC Plant Operation & Maintenance
6
Management with full back up and support of the UCDMC HR Department
7
organized safari to hunt Waszczuk down and destroy him.
8
I had to evacuate myself from my work place on August 3, 2011 due to
9
enormous stress inflicted by psychopath supervisor, Patrick Putney, who
10
apparently had been given green light by the Department Manager Charles
11
Witcher and his Assistant Dennis Curry to make my life miserable as possible.
12
Beside the attempt to sabotage my job, employees who witnessed Putney
13
stalking me from his office with lights off and suddenly opening doors with
14
15 loud voice, did not give me any choice but to evacuate myself from the shop
16 and ask my doctor for stress leave.
17 I never experienced such behavior from any of my supervisor or coworker in
18 my entire life and I am hoping to never see again in my work environment
19 another psychopath supervisor like Patrick Putney who victimized not only
20 myself but others too.
21 The question must be asked whether Patrick Putney is mentally sick or
22 unstable and UCDMC shall request psychiatric evaluation. Whether he should
23 be present around other employees not to mention supervising others. Beside
24
the stalking me, I observed that his hands are almost constantly shaking
25
especially when he got excited or mad or even for no reason.
26
Hypothetically, I wondering what would happen if instead of 60 years old Jerry
27
Waszczuk, a younger female employee would be working in the office and
28

Page 103 of 104
1 Patrick Putney would turn off lights in his office and would be stalking her as
2 he stalked Waszczuk.
3 The stalking would be witnessed and female employee would make complaint
4 as Waszczuk did to Department Head and HR that she being stalked and
5
harassed by supervisors.
6
Whether , after such complaint by female employee, Patrick Putney would be
7
removed instantly from his office to prevent sexual harassment and general
8
harassment lawsuit or UCDMC PO&M Department Management together
9
with the HR Department would organize the special safari to hunt her down
10
like an animal as they hunted Waszczuk?
11
Under the provision of the State of California Penal Code 646.9., stalking is a
12
criminal punishable offense. I think it is appropriate to ask hypothetical
13
question whether HR would call police and will get the restrain order against
14
15 Putney to protect stalked female employee or hunt her down for complaining
16 as it had been done to Waszczuk?
17 I sent my Open Letter To The Honorable Members of UC Davis Ethics and
18 Compliance Risk Committee, California State Assembly Members and The
19 Regents Of The University of California and Assembly Members and The

20 Regents Of The University of California on October 9, 2011 and miraculously
21 or coincidently next day on October 10, 2011 , the UCDMC Investigator
22 Danesha Nichols launched investigation and started interviewing all employees
23 from HVAC Shop and some employees from the Central Plant and
24
investigation is going on. The HVAC Shop social area experiencing
25
remodeling, painting and clean up. This very good and promising sign for
26
positive changes.
27
In conclusion of my letter as I wrote to UC Vice President, I strongly believe
28

Page 104 of 105
1 that Charles Witcher, Patrick Putney, Dennis Curry, Danesha Nichols, Stephen
2 Chilcot, Mike Garcia, Cindy Oropeza and Mike Boyd are responsible for
3 harassment, intimidation, abuse of power and conspiracy to fire me from the
4 job which was given me by the Settlement-Agreement signed with the UC
5
Regents in February 2009. The Settlement Agreement had been grossly
6
violated by the above mentioned individuals and I am expecting from my
7
employer to respect the signed Settlement -Agreement and let me return to
8
work .
9
I am not working for full three months. I don't have more sick leave hours . I
10
am actually using my vacation for my work stress related sick leave because
11
my short term disability have not been approved yet by Liberty Mutual
12
Insurance Company. My medical leave is nothing else but escape from the
13
harassment, mistreatment, vicious stalking by psychopath supervisor, and
14
15 unwarranted threats of termination of my employment by some of the above
16 listed individuals.
17 I need to go back to work as soon as possible and have normal work
18 environment without stalking me supervisor and without "Safari" .
19 I need to go back to work as soon as possible and have normal work

20 environment without stalking me supervisor and without "Safari" .
21 My Psychologist Dr. Bernhoft wrote on the form for Liberty Mutual Insurance
22 Company: “Stress issues are due not to being back to work " and " Client
23 should be allowed to return to work ASAP" (attached)
24
If UC won't let me go back to work as soon as possible than I respectfully
25
requesting answer ASAP what is the other option because I don't know. I have
26
to pay my bills and mortgage and FMLA protection ends after 90 days . I don't
27
need additional stress and more pills with my health condition.

November 2011
10
11 291. In November 2011, Plaintiff spent most of his time dealing with the
12 Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston, which deprived Plaintiff of legitimate short-term
13 disability benefits. After Plaintiff used all his sick leave days and vacation days, Plaintiff was
14 basically left without income. The FMLA 90-day protection also ran out. UCDMC HR Labor
15 Relations Consultant Gina Harwood, for reasons unknown to Plaintiff, on November 14, 2011,
16 offered to Plaintiff an additional 12 weeks of supplemental FMLA time protection, which
17 Plaintiff declined. The short-term disability benefits had been denied to Plaintiff, so it was
18
nonsense to accept the FMLA protection extension to stay employed without the income.
19
292. In the response letter, dated November 23, 2011, to Gina Harwood,
20
Plaintiff wrote:
21
“At this point, I am not considering to file for an extension of my
22
medical leave under the Supplemental FMLA University Policy 2.210.
23
I am under enormous stress and pressure, and I have had enough. I was left
24
without a paycheck, so an extension of medical leave won’t help with at all.
25
The Settlement-Agreement I signed with the UC Regents in 2009 and my civil
26
rights were grossly violated by the University of California.
27
28
Contacting the benefits office regarding my current situation to discuss the

Page 106 of 107
1 effect of my health and welfare benefits makes no sense to me.
2 The University is fully responsible and legally liable for my current health
3 condition and the financial damages to me during this conflict.”
4 293. Thereafter, according to information Plaintiff received under Public
5
Records Act requests, the UC Davis chancellor requested from Danesha Nichols a confidential
6
report on Plaintiff, which was sent in November to Chancellor Linda Katehi. The exact day
7
when the confidential report was sent to Chancellor Katehi is unknown to Plaintiff because the
8
day was blacked out and removed by the UC Davis Public Record Act office. However, it
9
appears that the confidential report was sent prior to November 18, 2011, because Chancellor
10
Katehi deployed to the UC Davis Medical Center Lt. Matt Carmichael prior to November 18,
11
2011, to investigate Plaintiff. However, Plaintiff believes the main reason to deploy Lt. Matt
12
Carmichael to UC Davis Medical Center was to get Lt. Matt Carmichael out from the spotlight
13
of a premeditated pepper spray attack against protesting students on the UC Davis campus.
14
15 294. The premediated pepper spray attack ordered by Chancellor Katehi on November
16 18, 2011, was solely used to replace UC Davis Chief of Police Annette Spicuzza with Lt. Matt
17 Carmichael; fire from the job Lt. John Pike, who was ordered and used to casually and very visibly pepper
18 spray students; and force to retire UC Davis Captain Joyce Souza. Just after the premediated pepper spray
19 attack, Lt. Matt Carmichael, who on November 18, 2011, was in the UC Davis Medical Center, instantly,
20 as most likely planned, was assigned as the interim UC Davis chief of police. In May 2012, the new UC
21 Davis chief of police participated with Lt. James Barbour in the operation to provoke and kill or end
22 Plaintiff’s employment in the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit #11.
23
24 295. On November 14, 2011, Plaintiff filed a complaint with the State of California
25 Department of Insurance against the Liberty Assurance Company of Boston for denying to
26 Plaintiff short-term disability benefits. The Liberty Assurance Company of Boston, without
27 conducting any reasonable investigation concerning its obligations under the contract,
28

Page 107 of 108
1 breached its contract, without good or sufficient cause, for reasons extraneous to the contract
2 and for the purpose of frustrating Plaintiff’s enjoyment of the benefits of the contract.
3 Accordingly, Liberty Assurance Company of Boston—complicit with the University of
4 California—breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing, treating Plaintiff differently and
5
applying different standards of conduct than with other claimants and other University of
6
California employees, without any legitimate justification. As a result of Liberty Assurance
7
Company of Boston’s breach and subsequent actions, Plaintiff has suffered and incurred (and
8
continues to suffer and incur) substantial losses of past and future earnings, compensation and
9
other benefits.
10
296. Three years later, in August and September 2014, the Liberty Assurance
11
Company of Boston made an attempt to settle the claim with Plaintiff for petty cash of $1,900.00.
12
Plaintiff declined such an offer, and the case is still unresolved.
13
297. November 2011 was a month of protests on University of California campuses,
14
and it was also the month when UC Davis Greek-born Chancellor Linda Katehi, nicknamed in
15
16 publications “Chemical Katehi,” on November 18, 2011, ordered gas attacks against peacefully
17 protesting students on the UC Davis Campus. In this way, Katehi observed and marked the 38th
18 anniversary of the student massacre at Athens Polytechnic by the Greek fascist military junta that
19 killed 25 people and injured over 1,000. In 1973, Linda Katehi was a student at Athens
20 Polytechnic.
21 298. A few days later, on November 23, 2011, UC Davis Vice Chancellor Claire
22 Pomeroy, who was in charge of UC Davis Medical Center School of Medicine, cried out in her e-mail
23 how the community was deeply shaken and disturbed by the pepper spraying of protesting students:
24
“Our university community is shaken by the deeply disturbing images we have
25
seen over the past few days. The video of the police action against peaceful
26
students stands in stark contrast to our deeply held commitments to freedom of
27
expression and to our UC Davis principles of community”
28

Page 108 of 109
1
299. Plaintiff responded to Vice Chancellor Pomeroy’s outcry with the following words:
2
Dear Ms. Pomeroy:
3
4
Can you do something about the National Socialism doctrine oriented and
5
entirely corrupted management in the UC Davis Medical Center, Plant
6
Operation and Maintenance and Human Resources Departments? The
7
8 Principles of Community does not exist in UCDMC and it is the empty slogan.
9 Your commitment to freedom of expression is also empty slogan as well. You
10 and others are receiving my letters for quite long and you and others don’t care
11 what the “UCDMC Gestapo” doing to me and how systematically is
12 destroying my and others livelihood and life. I am sending a few letters again
13 to you with hope that I will be heartened to see Ms. Pomeroy will order to
14 conduct a true investigation against the corrupted individuals in both
15 departments and restore a normal work environment in the UCDMC PO&M
16 Department.
17
Best regards and good luck with your commitment to freedom of expression.
18

20
21 300. Shortly after Plaintiff sent his message to Vice Chancellor Pomeroy cc’d to many
22 other University of California decision makers, Vice Chancellor Pomeroy was forced to resign due to
23 illegal medical experiments conducted under Pomeroy’s supervision for years by two UC Davis Medical
24 Center Dutch neurosurgeons, Dr. J. Paul Muizelaar and Dr. Rudolph J. Schrot, which caused
several patients’ deaths. So far, Plaintiff, with his words about the UC Davis Medical Center
25
National Socialism doctrine, was taking into consideration inhumane, illegal medical
26
experiments on humans in the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz conducted on camp inmates
27
by the notorious Dr. Joseph Mengele.
28

Page 109 of 110
1 301. On November 23, 2011, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
2 Commission informed Plaintiff that charges were filed against the University of California.
3
302. In addition to the above, on November 8, 2011, PO&M Manager Charles
4
Witcher, in his letter dated November 8, 2011, informed Plaintiff that he had denied Plaintiff
5
6 access to the university e-mail, with accusations that Plaintiff was sending inappropriate content
7 in his emails. Mr. Witcher also added a threat about the dismissal of Plaintiff’s employment if he
8 continued to communicate with others about the investigation and about hunting Plaintiff down.
9 Plaintiff responded to Mr. Witcher’s accusations and his denial of Plaintiff’s e-mail access with a
10 letter entitled “Gestapo on My Ass.” In Plaintiff’s response, he was making a “Gestapo”

11 reference to his previous UCDMC managers’ statements from the Central Plant. One manager
12 threatened Plaintiff with the words, “Somebody give this Pollack a bad evaluation and fire
13 him,” and another, in anger, was threatening Plaintiff that he would “Send the Gestapo on my
14 ass.”
15
303. Apparently, the UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and
16
Maintenance Department Manager Charles Witcher; his superior, Director Mike Boyd; and HR
17
Executive Director Stephen Chilcott forgot that Charles Witcher signed a February 2009
18
Settlement-Agreement with Plaintiff on behalf of the regents of the University of California, and
19
if Charles Witcher felt that Plaintiff violated any paragraph of the Settlement-Agreement, then
20
Charles Witcher was to inform the UC Davis Medical Center Legal Department and UC Davis
21
Chief Counsel Steven Drown, who also signed the Settlement-Agreement, to enforce the signed
22
Settlement-Agreement according to California law without threatening, humiliating, harassing
23
and discriminating against Plaintiff.
24
25 304. The conclusion of this chapter is that the Defendant with Liberty
26 Assurance Company of Boston, by their malicious conspiracy against Plaintiff, left Plaintiff
27 without any source of income, which they thought would be a very convincing argument to make
28 Plaintiff quit his job. When it was done, UC Davis Medical Center HR Benefits Manager John

Page 110 of 111
1 Peklar contacted Plaintiff by phone and was trying to convince Plaintiff to make an appointment
2 with him to retire from the university at the age of 60. Plaintiff declined this option as well due
3 to that Plaintiff was not even eligible for early Social Security at age of 61 1/2 benefits which
4 would be very little income in comparison with Plaintiff was earning.
5
December 2011
6
7 305. In December 2011, Defendant again forgot that in February 2009 they
8 signed a settlement-agreement with Plaintiff, and Defendant, through the settlement-agreement,
9 agreed to employ Plaintiff indefinitely. The agreement was to be enforced by the California
10 Court according to the state of California’s laws if violated by any party which signed the
11 settlement- agreement.
12 306. On December 5, 2011, Plaintiff’s superior Charles Witcher, to Plaintiff’s
13 disbelief, sent to Plaintiff another threatening letter during Plaintiff’s sick leave due to work-
14 related stress, in which Witcher ordered Plaintiff to go to an investigatory interview with
15
Danesha Nichols on December 12, 2011. Four years after this, Plaintiff is still in disbelief that it
16
actually happened, but taking into consideration that Plaintiff’s employment almost ended in UC
17
Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit #11 due to an unsuccessful provocation crafted by the same
18
management on May 30, 2012, then anything is possible at University of California.
19
307. To add another example, if one of workers for whom Plaintiff was
20
providing representation can be despicably attacked by the same UC Davis management during
21
his mother’s funeral, then employment at UC Davis Medical Center is full of surprises.
22
308. Plaintiff ignored Charles Witcher’s letter and his irresponsible threats to
23
dismiss Plaintiff from his employment during his stress-related sick leave. Removing Plaintiff
24
25 from sick leave unconditionally without Plaintiff’s physician’s permission and place Plaintiff on
26 unpaid leave was equal to suspension from work without pay.
27 309. Plaintiff was without income; the situation could not get any worse, and
28 Witcher’s threating letter was nothing else but ill-minded harassment and an attempt to

Page 111 of 112
1 intimidate Plaintiff and to make Plaintiff to quit his job voluntarily and wave his legal rights
2 outlined by the February 2009 Settlement –Agreement.
3 310.. On December 14, 2011, Plaintiff’s psychologist Dr. Bernhoft Ph.D., sent
4 an informational letter to Liberty Assurance Company of Boston, stating that Plaintiff’s mental
5
health significantly deteriorated due to the situation with Plaintiff’s employment and denial by
6
Liberty’s Short-Term Disability Benefits.
7
311. After the Defendant’s despicable action of removing Plaintiff from sick
8
leave, Plaintiff was expecting termination as the next Defendant step and Plaintiff had decided to
9
retrieve his private belongings from his UC Davis Medical Center HVAC shop office.
10
312. On December 19, 2011, Plaintiff sent a letter to HR Consultant Gina
11
Harwood stating that Plaintiff would be checking his personal file and that Plaintiff would like to
12
get his personal belongings from his HVAC shop office. Plaintiff asked Gina Harwood for UC
13
Davis police assistance to retrieve his private belongings, including, but not limited to, two
14
15 private computer hard drives.
16 313. Besides the above, Plaintiff informed Gina Harwood that Plaintiff was
17 willing to have a meeting with HR Investigator Danesha Nichols if she was willing to meet
18 Plaintiff on the same day that Plaintiff would be retrieving his personal file and his belongings
19 from his office. Gina Harwood responded that she set up the meeting with Danesha Nichols on
20 December 22, 2011, and that all Plaintiff’s belongings would be delivered to the HR building in
21 the morning and available for pick up at the time of Plaintiff’s appointment with Danesha
22 Nichols.
23 314. Gina Harwood also informed Plaintiff that the computers containing the
24
hard drives Plaintiff made reference to were deployed outside of the HVAC shop due to the
25
sensitive nature of the systems on those computers and the department being concerned about
26
removing the hard drives at that time. Also, Gina Harwood asked Plaintiff to provide receipts
27
showing the purchase of these hard drives, and the university would reimburse him for the cost.
28

Page 112 of 113
1 315. Plaintiff installed his private hard drives in the company computers as a
2 back up with his new manager Patrick Putney’s permission after he was abruptly removed from
3 the Central Plant to the HVAC shop in March 2007.
4 316. Plaintiff organized his office in the HVAC shop and not only installed his
5
private hard drives in two company PC computers but also purchased at his own expense a top-
6
of-the-line HP PC computer and installed it in his office to efficiently and professionally do his
7
job. The extra hard drives were installed for data backup.
8
317. In addition to the above, when Plaintiff arrived in HVAC shop in March
9
2007, Plaintiff noticed that the HVAC shop crew had no computers to do their time cards every
10
morning look their assignment and complete their work orders as well to have access to the
11
university policies and procedures via Internet and intranet and company e-mail. Every morning,
12
workers were lining up in the shop manager’s office to do their time cards and work orders on
13
one designated computer. It was an enormous waste of working time every day.
14
15 Plaintiff finally convinced two of his supervisor to bring used computers from the warehouse that
16 were already decommissioned and provide them to the crew for work orders and time cards.
17 Plaintiff cleaned, repaired and reprogrammed the old computers and provided them to HVAC
18 shop crew members to make their everyday job a lot easier and more efficient.
19 318. Besides the above, Plaintiff informed Gina Harwood that Plaintiff was
20 willing to have a meeting with HR Investigator Danesha Nichols if she was willing to meet
21 Plaintiff on the same day that he would be retrieving his personal file and his belongings from
22 his office.
23 319. Gina Harwood did set up an appointment with Danesha Nichols on
24
December 22, 2011.
25
320. When on December 22, 2011, Plaintiff arrived for the meeting with
26
Danesha in the UC Davis Medical Center HR building, a UC Davis police cruiser with officers
27
inside was on standby next to the building and Danesha Nichols had the assistance of a male
28

Page 113 of 114
1 person who disclosed to Plaintiff during the conversation that he had previously worked as a
2 security officer for the Littler Mendelson Law Firm in San Francisco on California Street, a place
3 which Plaintiff was very familiar with.
4 321. Meeting with Danesha Nichols was unproductive. However, later, Plaintiff
5
regretted that he got himself into this meeting because of her cover-up for management
6
misconduct and the child porn felon. ‘Danesha Nichols was pleasant at the meeting, but her clear
7
goals were to slander Plaintiff in her pseudo-investigation reports and get a pay raise, which she
8
did indeed receive regardless that Danesha Nichols received from Plaintiff 12 GIG of
9
information on the flash drive which Plaintiff provided to Danesha Nichols prior the meeting
10
with her. The only benefits from the meeting were that Plaintiff learned from Danesha Nichols’
11
report that she interviewed a hand-picked team she had picked in August and she crafted the
12
false cause for Plaintiff’s employment termination planned for September 23, 2011.
13
322. After meeting with Danesha Nichols, Plaintiff was placed again on
14
15 investigatory leave or administrative leave with pay. Plaintiff lost track of whether he was on
16 investigatory, investigation, administrative or other made-up leave by the UC Davis perpetrators.
17 323. The Defendant’ reckless and unwarranted attacks against Plaintiff in 2011
18 and gross violation of the 2009 settlement-agreement, along with harassment, retaliation,
19 enormous stress and anxiety, and the fear of losing employment, caused Plaintiff financial losses
20 in relation to his employment, which amounted to the approximate sum of $21,000.00, taking
21 into consideration accrued sick leave and vacation hours, which Plaintiff was forced to use due to
22 stress-related sick leave caused by the Defendant and the Defendant’ conspiracy with Liberty
23 Assurance Company of Boston, which resulted in Plaintiff’s short-term disability being denied.
24
25 January 2012
26
324. On or about January 10, 2012, Plaintiff noticed on his pay stub for the pay
27
period with an end date of 12/24/2011, that Plaintiff’s title had been changed without his
28

Page 114 of 115
1 knowledge, and for an unknown reason, from Associate Development Engineer to Programmer I,
2 which did not correspond in any way with Plaintiff’s title of Associate Development Engineer.
3 Plaintiff was promoted to Associate Development Engineer by the February 2009 Settlement-
4 Agreement that Plaintiff signed with the Defendant, the UC Regents of the University of
5
California. The Associate Development Engineer, under UC Davis Title Code 7182, was an
6
exempt position. Programmer I, under Title Code 7281, was a non-exempt employee title, with a
7
maximum earning of $30.69/hour, which translated to $3.62 less per hour than Plaintiff was
8
making under Title 7182 in Middle Step, with a Maximum Step earning of 43.20/hour for Title
9
Code 7182, translating to $12.51 less per hour for Title Code 7281 maximum earnings.
10
325. Plaintiff did not know why the job title change was made and could only
11
speculate that the Defendant made the decision to reassign Plaintiff to a different location.
12
However, Plaintiff failed to understand why nobody approached Plaintiff and made the
13
proposition to Plaintiff to find out if Plaintiff would be willing to make a change from the signed
14
15 2009 Settlement-Agreement, and work in a different shop.
16 326. If, in January 2012, Plaintiff would have known that the Defendant’ goal
17 was to separate Plaintiff from Metasys System and from any data and information related to the
18 UC Davis Medical Central Plant operation, then Plaintiff would most likely have taken a
19 different approach to the problem. Plaintiff would have attempted to renegotiate the signed
20 February 2009 Settlement-Agreement with the Defendant, regardless of the psychological terror,
21 harassment and despicable attacks on Plaintiff’s character and integrity that the Defendant
22 committed.
23 327. Plaintiff had no clue as to why this was done or who did it, but the
24
Defendant ignored the fact that according to the February 2009, the Settlement-Agreement,
25
Plaintiff’s position and work place cannot be changed without Plaintiff’s consent or a Court
26
Order.
27
328. On January 18 , 2012, Plaintiff noticed by looking at his pay stub dated
28

Page 115 of 116
1 January 18, 2012, that Plaintiff had been de-enrolled by the Defendant from the medical, dental
2 and vision insurance coverage plans.
3 329. On the same day, January 18, 2012, Plaintiff sent a letter to UC Davis
4 Medical Center Benefits Manager John Peklar, who tried in December 2012 to convince Plaintiff
5
to quit, and asked Mr. Peklar to immediately reinstate Plaintiff’s medical Benefits. Plaintiff
6
urgently needed to get his prescription medicine, and his medical lab had to be done soon, so the
7
Defendant de-enrolled Plaintiff from his medical insurance benefits.
8
Besides the above, Plaintiff mentioned to Mr. Peklar that Plaintiff’s job title had been changed
9
from Assistant Development Engineer to Programmer I, and asked Mr. Peklar to correct this
10
problem as well.
11
330. Due to conspiracy with the Defendant and fraudulent denial of
12
Plaintiff ‘s short term disability claim by the Liberty Life Assurance Company of
13
Boston , On January 24, 2012 the Plaintiff sent a letter to UC Davis Medical Center
14
15 HR Benefits Manager, John Peklar and requested to cancel Plaintiff’s Supplemental
16 Disability Insurance with the Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston and Plaintiff
17 advised John Peklar that he make sure that that premium for this insurance will not be
18 collected anymore through the University of California payroll system.
19 331. On January 25, 2012, Plaintiff sent a letter to the UC Office President
20 liaison Mike Waldman, who was responsible for administrating the supplemental short-term
21 disability benefits, to intervene with Liberty Assurance Company Boston to pay Plaintiff’s
22 legitimate benefits, which were denied in November and December 2012. Plaintiff did not get
23 any response from Mr. Waldman.
24
332. At the end of January 2012, Plaintiff learned that his long-time physician,
25
who placed Plaintiff on stress-related sick leave for fourth months, wouldn’t provide any longer
26
medical service for Plaintiff and that Plaintiff’s psychologist’s residence in Lodi was raided by
27
the State of California Department of Social Services.
28

Page 116 of 117
1 February 2012
2
3 333. On February 8, 2012, UC Davis Medical Center HR Benefits & Equal

4 Employment Opportunity Manager Cindy G. Oropeza contacted Plaintiff by phone and asked
5 Plaintiff whether he was interested in informally resolving the conflict that had been long
6 ongoing and unresolved between Plaintiff and Defendant since April 2011. Plaintiff told Cindy
7
Oropeza that Plaintiff is always open to constructive discussion to informally resolve the
8
problem.
9
334. On the same day, February 8, 2012, Plaintiff confirmed receipt of an
10
invitation for informal dispute resolution via e-mail correspondence to Cindy Oropeza. Plaintiff
11
also confirmed his phone discussion with Ms. Oropeza and emphasized again that Plaintiff is
12
always open to discussion to find the best resolution for both sides of the conflict.
13
335. Furthermore, Plaintiff stated in his e-mail correspondence with Cindy
14
Oropeza that Plaintiff’s priority is to get his job back, granted and guaranteed, by the February
15
2009 Settlement –Agreement that Plaintiff signed with Defendant, the Regents of the University
16
17 of California.
18 336. Plaintiff in good faith also forwarded to Cindy Oropeza the latest e-mail
19 correspondence with Danesha Nichols, the investigator UC Davis Medical Center assigned to the
20 case, which stated that, if Plaintiff’s employer is looking for an informal resolution of the
21 problem, then Plaintiff would prefer not to see or read Danesha Nichols’ investigation findings
22 and the Defendant’ action based on Danesha Nichols’ findings. It would save Plaintiff’s and
23 others’ time and, if Plaintiff read the findings, would turn the ongoing conflict in a new direction
24 and open up a new, unpleasant dispute. Plaintiff also stated that he is very tired and very stressed
25 out from dealing with this conflict. Cindy Oropeza responded that UC Davis Medical Center’s
26
HR Labor Relation Manager will contact Plaintiff shortly and will set a meeting with Plaintiff to
27
discuss the possibility of resolving the conflict informally.
28

Page 117 of 118
1 337. . Plaintiff’s meeting with HR Labor Relations Manager, Mike Garcia, took
2 place in Mr. Garcia’s office in the HR Building on February 14, 2012. The meeting was fruitless
3 and Plaintiff was basically asked how much Plaintiff will ask, dollar-wise, to voluntarily quit his
4 job. During the discussion Plaintiff proposed that he will quit his job if Defendant will pay
5
Plaintiff his annual wages in a lump sum until Plaintiff is eligible for full Social Security
6
Benefits at age 66. Plaintiff, in February 2012, was close to 61 years old with his 61st birthday
7
coming up on May 30, 2012.
8
338. Plaintiff noticed during the meeting that Mike Garcia was stressed out;
9
Mr. Garcia told Plaintiff that he is very concerned about the whole situation, that it is very
10
unpleasant for him to deal with this problem and he is ready to retire from the University.
11
Plaintiff believes that Mike Garcia was, in 2012, similar to Plaintiff in age.
12
339. The meeting lasted approximately 30 minutes. Mike Garcia did not make
13
any promises or offers to Plaintiff during the meeting.
14
15 340. Plaintiff does not know why Plaintiff was asked to meet with Mike Garcia,
16 but Plaintiff believed that the Right to Sue Letter dated January 26, 2012, which Plaintiff
17 received from the U.S. Department of Justice, Civil Right Division and of which a carbon copy
18 was sent to the UC Davis Medical Center was one of the reason for explore possibility of
19 informal resolution.
20
341. In February 2012 and for a long time thereafter, Plaintiff had no intention
21
to sue the Defendant; instead, Plaintiff was hoping that the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
22
Commission (EEOC) would help him deal with his ongoing employment dispute with the
23
24
Defendant. However, when Plaintiff filed a complaint with U.S. EEOC against Defendant and
25 subsequently went to the EEOC’s San Francisco Office for an interview, Plaintiff was dismayed
26 to find that the EEOC intake officer was terrified of filing a complaint against the University of
27 California and dealing with UC attorneys. Plaintiff had no choice but to ask for a Right to Sue
28 Letter. Plaintiff could not find an attorney and was trying to get an extension of the Right to Sue

Page 118 of 119
1 Letter but his extension request was denied by the EEOC Director. Thereafter, Plaintiff was
2 almost killed by UC Davis police in the UC Davis Medical Trauma Unit # 11, after which his
3 employment ended due to the ill minded, heinous provocation and trap that was successfully set
4 by the criminally minded UC Davis administration.
5
342. Plaintiff believes the Defendant’ other reason for meeting with Plaintiff
6
and discussing informal resolution in February 2012 were Danesha Nichols’ pseudo
7
investigation reports, which Danesha Nichols already issued and signed but had not yet provided
8
to Plaintiff.
9
10 343. Defendant were perfectly aware that Plaintiff would be outraged by any
11 negative remarks in the reports about him. Plaintiff, since February 2009, was working for
12 Defendant under a Settlement – Agreement (the Contract) as an Associate Development
13 Engineer and had reminded the Defendant in almost every correspondence with them since April
14 2011 that they were breaching and violating the Settlement – Agreement they had signed with
15 Plaintiff.
16 344. In addition to the above, Plaintiff learned in February 2012 that HR Labor
17 Relation Manager Mike Garcia replaced HR Consultant Gina Harwood with experienced
18 attorney Jill Vandeviver to handle Plaintiff’s and Plaintiff’s coworkers’ complaints from the
19
same Department in which Plaintiff worked.
20
345. Besides the above, Plaintiff’s two coworkers, Kenny Diede from the
21
HVAC Shop and William Buckans from the Central Plant, asked Plaintiff to represent them in
22
their complaints pursuant to UC Davis Complaint Resolution Policy PPSM 70. Plaintiff agreed
23
to represent Kenny Diede and William Buckans with their complaints Step II appeals.
24
25
March 2012
26
27 346.. On March 7, 2012, Plaintiff received a two-page letter from UC Davis

28

Page 119 of 120
1 Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo, which informed Plaintiff that Danesha Nichols had
2 concluded the investigation in the whistleblowing complaint case #11-079, EP#2001, supposedly
3 assigned by Wendi Delmendo in July 2011. It was the complaint that Plaintiff never filed with
4 UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo’s office.
5
On the contrary, in July 2011, Plaintiff sent two complaint letters to UC Davis Chief Counsel
6
Steven Drown, and Plaintiff was complaining to the UC Davis chief counsel about the 2009
7
Settlement-Agreement violations by the Defendant. UC Davis Chief Counsel Steven Drown
8
signed the 2009 Settlement-Agreement on the Defendant’, the Regents of the University of
9
California, behalf.
10
347. Plaintiff’s first letter to the UC Davis chief counsel, dated July 17, 2011,
11
was entitled “Settlement-Agreement Violations by UC Davis Medical Center PO&M
12
Department Supervisors and Managers as well by some of the HR Labor Relation Department
13
Personnel (Gina Harwood or Mike Garcia).”
14
15 348. Plaintiff’s second letter to the UC Davis chief counsel, dated July 24, 2011,
16 was entitled “Settlement-Agreement Violations, HR Department Personnel — Ms. Danesha Nichols
17 & Mrs. Gina Harwood, Invitation to Commit Fraud.”
18 349. In response to Plaintiff’s complaints to the UC Davis chief counsel about the
19 2009 Settlement-Agreement violation by the Defendant, on July 26, 2011, UC Davis Chief
20 Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo sent Plaintiff an invitation to file a whistleblowing complaint.
21 350. On July 31, 2011, Plaintiff responded with a seven-page letter to UC
22 Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo’s invitation and advised her that none of the
23 violations she outlined in her letter were qualified to file a claim against under the “UC
24 Whistleblower” policy.
25 351. Furthermore, the mentioned violations should have been be corrected
26 immediately by UC Davis Medical Center senior management through the administrative
27 process. The violations were so obvious and known by the general employee population in the
28

Page 120 of 121
1 UC Davis Medical Center PO&M Department. All Plaintiff letters were forwarded to UC Davis
2 Medical Center directors, and they should have taken care of business as the directors and
3 administrators. Plaintiff was aware that the UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer is dragging
4 Plaintiff in her deceptive whistleblowing complaint game.
5
Plaintiff also informed the UC Davis chief counsel that UC Davis Medical Center Plant
6
Opertaionand Maintenance management misconduct were addressed in Plaintiff’s response
7
dated July 15, 2011, addressed to HR Consultant Gina Harwood, who was handling the case
8
from the HR side.
9
10 352. In her March 7, 2012, letter entitled “Outcome of Whistleblower Investigation,

11 Case #11-079, EP#2001,” UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo must have
12 forgotten about the Settlement-Agreement Plaintiff signed in 2009 with the UC regents. The UC
13 Davis chief compliance officer also forgot in her letter the real issues, problems and violations, which
14 were pointed out by Plaintiff in the letter dated March 13, 2011, addressed to UC Davis Medical
15 Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Department Head Charles Witcher and in Plaintiff’s letter
16 dated July 31, 2011. The serious matters which were reported by Plaintiff and which eventually
17 would fall in to category of whistleblowing complaints but never were investigated, including and
18 not limited to UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant operator Todd Goerlich’s suicide in December
19 2010, the burglary in the Central Plant locker room in December 2010, the secret 12% pay raise for
20 the Central Plant operators in December 2010 provided to them based on the blackmail petition,
21 child pornography activities in the UC Davis Medical Center HVAC shop, and UC Davis HVAC
22
Shop Supervisor Dorin Daniluc’s special relationship with two corrupted UC Davis Medical Center
23
directors, perhaps Robert Taylor and Shelton Duruisseau Ph.D, who besides holding director
24
positions in UC Davis Medical Center were appointed to the State of California Medical Board by
25
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2004.
26
353. On March 11, 2012, Plaintiff responded to Wendi Delmendo’s insulting conclusion
27
of Danesha Nichols’ pseudo-investigation, and Plaintiff pasted in his response the letter he wrote to
28

Page 121 of 122
1 Wendi Delmendo on July 31, 2011, to remind her about the real problems in the UC Davis Medical
2 Center.
3 354. On March 15, 2012, Plaintiff sent an open letter to the investigator Danesha Nichols,
4 assigned by Wendi Delmendo, and Plaintiff further addressed the outcome of Danesha Nichols’
5 investigation outlined in Wendi Delmendo’s letter dated March 7, 2012.
6 355. On March 15, 2012, Plaintiff sent a letter together with eight pages of statements
7 of facts to Leslie Moore, assistant director, Safety and Hospitality Service, who was assigned by
8
the UC Davis HR Department as the compliance resolution officer (CRO) to conduct a hearing
9
on the complaint step II appeal filed by Kenneth Diede against the HVAC shop manager Patrick
10
Putney pursuant to UC Davis Policy PPSM 70. Kenneth Diede, in July 2011, reported a twice-
11
convicted child pornography felon who was illegally accessing HVAC shop computers. The
12
shop manager, Patrick Putney, retaliated against Kenneth Diede for reporting the porn felon by
13
issuing a bad annual evaluation and made Kenneth Diede’s life miserable and working
14
conditions in the shop intolerable.
15
356. In response to Plaintiff’s letter addressed to CRO Leslie Moore, on March 21,
16
2012, UC Davis HR Labor Relation Manager Humberto “Mike” Garcia sent a letter to Plaintiff
17
18 stating that he understood that Plaintiff is representing William Buckans and Kenny Diede
19 through the PPSM 70 complaint appeal process. However, since Plaintiff was on paid
20 investigatory leave, Plaintiff would not be permitted to attend any procedural meetings with
21 (CRO) related to both of Plaintiff’s clients’ (as he stated) complaints until a decision was made
22 in the matter related to the allegations made against Plaintiff. Furthermore, Humberto Garcia
23 stated that the university was amenable to placing both the William Buckans and Kenny Diede
24 complaints in abeyance until a decision was made in the matter referenced above and that
25 Plaintiff may elect to submit his arguments to the CRO in writing or Plaintiff’s clients (as he
26 stated) may elect to be represented by someone else.
27
28 357. Plaintiff met Humberto Garcia on February 14, 2012 in the UC Davis

Page 122 of 123
1 Medical Center HR building to discuss the informal resolution of the ongoing dispute. HR
2 Investigator Danesha Nichols issued an investigation report and concluded her pseudo-
3 investigation on February 9, 2012. UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo
4 confirmed by the letter dated March 7, 2012, that Danesha Nichols finalized her investigation,
5
and nothing in the chief compliance officer’s letter indicated that any other investigation was
6
going on that could justify keeping Plaintiff on investigatory leave instead of letting him come
7
back to work. William Buckans and Kenny Diede were not Plaintiff’s clients but Plaintiff’s
8
coworkers from the same UC Davis Medical Center department, and Plaintiff provided
9
representation to them in their administrative complaints. It is a mystery for Plaintiff why
10
Plaintiff was prohibited from attending the CRO meeting for William Buckans and Kenny
11
Diede if it was not a problem for Humberto Garcia to meet Plaintiff on February 14, 2012, in his
12
UC Davis Medical Center office.
13
14
358. Today, Plaintiff looks at Humberto Garcia’s e-mail letter dated March 21,
15
2012, differently than Plaintiff looked at it in March 2012. Today, Plaintiff looks at Humberto
16
Garcia’s e-mail letter, , as a letter that may have saved Plaintiff’s life, taking into consideration
17
who was in charge of the UC Davis Police Department in March 2012 and why Mathew
18
Carmichael was assigned as interim UC Davis Police Chief by UC Davis Administration.
19
Humberto Garcia and HR attorney and Humberto Garcia assistant Jill Vanderviver, did not
20
survive long after February 2012 attempt to resolve informally with Plaintiff ongoing dispute.
21
22 359. In addition to the above, on March 19, 2012, Plaintiff sent a letter to
23 University of California Senior Vice President Chief Compliance and Audit Officer Sheryl Vacca
24 and asked her for an independent investigation. Also, Plaintiff requested under the Public Record
25 Act provision all the documents related to Danesha Nichols and Wendi Delmendo’s pseudo-
26 whistleblowing complaint investigation, which concluded in February and March 2012.
27 April 2012
28 April 2012- The Stephen Chilcott’s Unsigned Letter

Page 123 of 124
1 360. Under the Public Record Act, Plaintiff received an unsigned letter dated
2 April 5, 2012, which was addressed to him. The letter was typed by or for UC Davis Health
3 System HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott who, in 2009, solicited and most likely crafted
4 the Settlement-Agreement that Plaintiff signed with the Defendant, the Regents of the University
5
of California. The Agreement guaranteed Plaintiff’s indefinite employment with the University
6
of California as the associate development engineer.
7
361. Stephen Chilcott’s unsigned letter, dated April 5, 2012, stated that Plaintiff
8
is currently on UC Davis Health System administrative leave with pay while options for possibly
9
returning to work are being reviewed, which contradicts UC Davis Medical Center HR Labor
10
Relation Manager Humberto Garcia’s letter dated March 21, 2012, which stated that Plaintiff is
11
on investigatory leave and that Plaintiff is not permitted to attend any procedural meetings to
12
represent his coworkers in their complaints under UC Davis Policy PPSM70, the Step II appeals.
13
Furthermore, Stephen Chilcott’s letter stated that UC Davis Health System Labor Relations
14
15 would contact Plaintiff when the administrative review has been completed without any specifics
16 of what administrative review Stephen Chilcott had on his mind.
17
18 April 2012- The Complaint with U.S Department of Labor , OFCCP Office
19
20 362. Due to UC Davis Medical Center HR Labor Relation Manager Humberto

21 Garcia’s letter dated April 21, 2012, which prohibited Plaintiff from representing two of his
22 coworkers, Kenneth Diede and William Buckans, with their complaint under UC Davis Policy
23 PPSM 70, on April 9, 2012, Plaintiff sent by mail a complaint and request for intervention and
24
help to Regional Director of the U.S. Department of Labor for Office of Federal Contract
25
Compliance Programs (OFCCP) William D. Smitherman on William Buckan’s, Kenny Diede’s
26
and Plaintiff’s own behalf.
27
363. The University of California is a federal contractor, and Plaintiff was
28

Page 124 of 125
1 advised by the U.S. OFCCP in November 2011 that a complaint with U.S. OFCCP has to contain
2 more than one person to be considered, reviewed and pursued by OFCCP.
3 364. On April 12, 2012, Plaintiff received a response from U.S EEOC San
4 Francisco office to his, William Buckan’s, and Kenny Diede’s April 9, 2012, complaint with
5
information that the complaint was forwarded to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
6
Commission (EEOC) and a comment stating that, upon review of the contents of the
7
correspondence, it became clear that Plaintiff mistakenly sent the complaint to the OFCCP
8
instead of to the EEOC, contrary to the already-mentioned November 2011 EEOC advice.
9
Plaintiff did not want to pursue the new claim with the EEOC after the previous EEOC intake
10
officer’s trauma of dealing with the University of California’s attorneys.
11
365. Also on April 12, 2012, Plaintiff, for unknown reasons, received a letter
12
from UC Davis HR Benefit Manager John Peklar about Plaintiff’s short-term disability benefits,
13
Liberty Assurance Company of Boston (Liberty) which in conspiracy with the Defendant was
14
15 denied in November and December 2011 to Plaintiff. . Further, Plaintiff’s complaint against
16 Liberty had been pending with the state insurance commissioner’s office since November 2011.
17 UC Davis HR Benefits Manager John Peklar was the person who disenrolled Plaintiff from
18 medical insurance in December 2011 without Plaintiff’s knowledge. Since Plaintiff did not want
19 to risk being left without medical insurance, he enrolled himself and his wife in medical
20 insurance with Nordstrom Corporation, where Plaintiff’s spouse has been employed since 1990,
21 paying an extra $200/month.
22
April 2012 – Letter Of Intent to Suspend with 10 Days without Pay
23
24
366. Instead of a response from the Defendant in regard to the informal
25
resolution initiated by the Defendant in February 2012, Plaintiff, on April 13, 2012, received
26
from the Defendant a Letter of Intent to Suspend signed by the UC Davis Medical Center Plant
27
Operation and Maintenance Department Head Charles Witcher—the same Charles Witcher who,
28

Page 125 of 126
1 on March 23, 2007, signed a very similar letter with intent to suspend Plaintiff using very similar
2 lies and unfounded accusations defacing and defaming Plaintiff. Charles Witcher’s 2007 Letter
3 of Intent to Suspend lead Plaintiff to obtain a promotion from the position of cogeneration plant
4 operator to associate development engineer with a $7,000.00 base salary increase and indefinite
5
employment with the University of California granted and guaranteed to Plaintiff by the
6
February 2009 Settlement–Agreement Plaintiff signed with the Regents of the University of
7
California after Plaintiff successfully defeated the Defendant in arbitration with an arbitrator
8
assigned by the UC Davis administration. Charles Witcher was one of four who signed the 2009
9
Settlement–Agreement on the Defendant’ behalf.
10
367. The Letter of Intent to Suspend informed Plaintiff that the Defendant
11
intended to suspend Plaintiff for a period of ten (10) working days commencing on April 25,
12
2012. The reasons that were given for the issuance of this letter were the Defendant’ lies and
13
unfounded accusations that Plaintiff continued inappropriate behavior in the workplace.
14
15 Specifically, the Defendant’ lies accused Plaintiff that his behavior was in violation of UCDHS
16 Policy 1616 — Violence and Hate Incidents in the Workplace and UC Davis Policy and
17 Procedure 380-15 Staff Complaints of Discrimination. Additionally, unfounded accusations and
18 lies in the letter implied that Plaintiff failed to adhere to specific instructions during the
19 investigation to refrain from engaging in email communications with witnesses, which interfered
20 with the investigation, as outlined in the report.
21 368. Furthermore, the unfounded allegations in the Letter of Intent to Suspend
22 were made that on March 8, 2011, April 21, 2011, and May 5, 20011, Plaintiff engaged in
23 behavior that violated UCDHS Policy 1616—Violence and Hate Incidents in the Workplace. It
24
was alleged that Plaintiff’s behavior was disruptive and intimidating to Dorin Daniliuc when he
25
allegedly pointed his finger in his face and used profanity on March 8, 2011. Further, on April
26
21, 2011, Plaintiff allegedly became disruptive and intimidating toward Patrick Putney during a
27
discussion regarding the Putney and Daniliuc ’s work performance as Plaintiff understood the
28

Page 126 of 127
1 letter. An investigation was conducted and both of these allegations were substantiated. At the
2 end of the statement, Plaintiff was advised to see attached report Issue #1, #2, and #3. If the
3 accusations were true, then the lies regarding the use of profanity and disruptive behavior in
4 March and April would have had an impact on Plaintiff’s 2010–2011 Employee Performance
5
Review(Evaluation ) because the alleged violations fell into the 2010–2011 evaluation period
6
(i.e., rather than the 2011–2012 period). Especially it would happen because Dorin Daniliuc and
7
Patrick Putney were Plaintiff’s supervisors and Plaintiff and Putney and Daniliuc would punish
8
Plaintiff right away by issuance of letter of expectation, written warning or even suspension from
9
work right after alleged incident by using UC Davis Progressive Discipline Policy PPSM 62. The
10
“does not meet expectation evaluation” for 2010-2011 work period would follow, It would be
11
done according to UC Davis progressive discipline Policy PPSM 62.
12
369. Since February 2009, Plaintiff has been employed by the Defendant by the
13
Settlement–Agreement (Contract), which is enforceable only by State of California law and the
14
15 State of California Court of Law, not by slanderous pseudo-investigation reports that financially
16 harm and defame Plaintiff (i.e., Witcher’s Letters of Intent to Suspend).
17 370. At the end of the letter, Plaintiff was instructed that Plaintiff has the right
18 to respond, either orally or in writing, to the notice of intent to suspend. Plaintiff’s response must
19 be received by the Skelly Reviewer, Michael Pansius (916-734-6572), within eight (8) calendar
20 days from the date of issuance of this letter.
21 371. The assigned Skelly Reviewer, Michael Pansius, was the subordinate of
22 UC Davis Medical Center Director Mike Boyd from the facilities construction and design
23 department.
24
372. In July 2011, Director Mike Boyd took charge of the UC Davis Medical
25
Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Department and became Charles Witcher’s superior.
26
373. Director Mike Boyd took charge of the UC Davis Medical Center Plant
27
Operation and Maintenance Department after his partner in crime, Director Robert Taylor, left
28

Page 127 of 128
1 his post one year before his retirement. The UC Davis Medical Center Directors Mike Boyd,
2 Robert Taylor and Shelton Durressau, Ph.D, were responsible for a massive, unlawful, and
3 deliberate machine oil discharge from defective cooling tower gear boxes to the Sacramento
4 River for seven years (i.e., from 1998 to 2005).
5
374. Never before had UC Davis Plant Operation and Maintenance belonged to
6
the Facilities Construction and Design Department of which Boyd was in charge. Construction
7
and Design is a strictly engineering department without maintenance personnel. Apparently, due
8
to the central plant operators’ blackmail petition for a 12% pay raise, the old crime related to the
9
central plant’s unlawful oil discharge to the river—for which Boyd was responsible—resurfaced
10
and Boyd was forced to take charge of the plant operation and maintenance department after
11
Robert Taylor left his post.
12
375. After Plaintiff received Witcher’s letter to suspend, Plaintiff was furious
13
and in disbelief that he was receiving such subhuman treatment by the Defendant. The
14
15 Defendant, in a gross violation of the 2009 Settlement–Agreement, caused Plaintiff significant
16 financial losses in 2011 and Plaintiff lost all accrued vacation and sick leave hours. Plaintiff’s
17 total financial losses in 2011 amounted to approximately $21, 000, due to the inhumane
18 treatment that Plaintiff received from the Defendant.
19
376. On April 15, 2012, Plaintiff requested from Defendant all available
20
documents related to the UC Davis Medical Center HR investigator pseudo-investigation. The
21
requested documents that were included were all generated by Danesha Nichols’ investigatory
22
reports.
23
24
377. On April 20, 2012, Plaintiff responded to the Defendant’s Letter Intent to
25 Suspend signed by Charles Witcher and, in his 26-page response, demanded from the assigned
26 Skelly reviewer, who did not know Skelly law, to entirely disregard and dismiss all lies and
27 unfounded accusations outlined in the Witcher suspension letter.
28 April 2012- “ Welcome to Romania Slide Show”

Page 128 of 129
1
2 378. In great disappointment over the investigatory reports and the unwarranted
3 attack on Plaintiff with the Letter of Intent to Suspend, on April 27, 2012, Plaintiff sent a short
4 email to Danesha Nichols expressing his feelings about her reports. Plaintiff attached to the e-
5
mail a video clip/slide show entitled “Welcome to Romania.” It shows post-communist
6
devastated Romania and some scenes in the slide show had lot in common with the landscape in
7
the HVAC shop supervised by Dorin Daniliuc and Patrick Putney.. Later, the “Welcome to
8
Romania” slide show was exploited and repeatedly used to attack Plaintiff and as cause and
9
pretext to terminate Plaintiff’s employment.
10
379. Danesha Nichols attempted to bully and intimidate Plaintiff, and she
11
received a proper response from Waszczuk. Waszczuk reported Nichols and Chilcott to the State
12
Bar in October 2011and 2013 and reported Nichols to UC Davis Police (Captain Souza and Lt.
13
Pike). If the UC Davis investigator was to investigate Nichols for anything, it would be Central
14
15 Plant Operator Todd Georlich’s suicide, which occurred on December 22, 2010; Central Plant
16 Operator Jeff Lancaster’s locker burglary; the secret 12% pay raise for central plant operators in
17 December 2010, based on blackmail petition; Daniliuc’s involvement in his private enterprise on
18 company time, as well the fact that he was employed by two UCDMC Directors—Robert Taylor
19 and Shelton Duruisseau—in their private residences in exchange for giving him a supervisor
20 position and access to free HVAC parts and equipment and presence in the HVAC shop, though
21 he was a twice-convicted child pornography felon who illegally was accessing the UCDMC
22 HVAC shop computer during his probation or parole time.
23 380. Danesha Nichols swept under the rug the child pornography felony matter
24
in her report instead of turning porn felon into authorities and obtaining a restraining order.
25
Instead, in her reports Nichols made Plaintiff look five times worse than , a twice-convicted child
26
pornography felon; thus, Nichols grossly violated law by not reporting a felon on probation to
27
authorities and grossly violating the 2009 Settlement–Agreement that Plaintiff signed with the
28

Page 129 of 130
1 Regents of the University of California by defacing and demeaning Plaintiff in her reports. The
2 Settlement–Agreement prohibited the Defendant from making any disparaging and untrue
3 statements aimed at Plaintiff. Further, Nichols, Seifert, and Oropeza’s fabricated reports are not
4 only disparaging to Plaintiff, but defame Plaintiff’s character and integrity and signify a gross
5
violation of his civil rights.
6
7 May 2012
May 2012- Defendant Preparation for the May 31, 2012 Provocation to Kill Plaintiff
8
9
381. In April and May 2012, Plaintiff did not know or was aware that the
10
Defendant were negotiating the new power sale contract with the Sacramento Municipal Utility
11
12 District (SMUD) and the UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant cogeneration facility. The
13 Defendant got very inpatient with Plaintiff’s continued presence on the Defendant’ payroll list.
14 382 .The psychological terror, abuse, harassment, and retaliation that Plaintiff
15 was subjected to for almost one year, which was orchestrated and carried out by the Defendant’
16 lawyers, managers, and psychologists at the UC Davis Medical Center HR Department with the
17 full support of the UC Davis Chancellor Office and the University of California Office of the
18 President did not work to force Plaintiff to quit voluntarily The decision was made to eliminate
19 Plaintiff by provocation and by means of a bullet from the pistol of UC Davis Police Lt. James
20 Barbour who was assigned by Defendant to carry out assassination on May 31, 2012.
21 383. On May 1, 2012, Plaintiff did not know how close Plaintiff was to being
22 killed or his employment ending in the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit # 11 due to the
23 ill-crafted provocation of an especially assembled team, which Plaintiff later nicknamed in
24
documents “UC Davis Death Squad.”
25
384. The first stage of preparation to provoke and eliminate Plaintiff was the
26
February 14, 2012, fruitless meeting with Humberto Garcia from the UC Davis HR Department,
27
which was intended to informally resolve conflict or let Plaintiff return to work after six months
28

Page 130 of 131
1 of Plaintiff’s involuntary absence. The meeting was organized to identify how anxious or eager
2 Plaintiff was to leave his job and what pressure needed to be applied to make it happen.
3 385. The second preparation step to provoke and eliminate Plaintiff came in
4 March 7, 2012, with UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo’s whistle-blowing
5
decisions about the chickens, roosters, ducks, goats, and sheep sale in the UC Davis Medical
6
Center HVAC shop by supervisors Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc.
7
386. The third preparation step to provoke and eliminate Plaintiff came in March
8
21, 2012, when Plaintiff received a letter from Humberto Garcia of the UC Davis Medical Center
9
HR Labor Relations Department informing Plaintiff that Plaintiff was still on investigatory leave
10
and was prohibited from entering UC Davis Medical Center premises to represent his coworkers
11
in their complaints appeals hearings with a Compliance Resolution Officer. This happened after
12
all the pseudo-investigations conducted by UC Davis HR investigator Danesha Nichols were
13
finished and four pseudo-investigation reports were issued.
14
15 387. The fourth preparation step to provoke and eliminate Plaintiff was the April
16 13, 2012, Letter of Intent to Suspend Plaintiff without pay for 10 days during Plaintiff‘s already
17 nine (9) months forced absence from work. The letter of intent to suspend did not even say or
18 inform Plaintiff when Plaintiff was supposed to return to work
19 May 2012 – May 7, 2012 Events

20 388 On May 7, 2012, Plaintiff received information at a gathering of the UC
21 Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and Maintenance managers and supervisors at the UCDMC
22 Police Station. The gathering included but was not limited to the presence of Charles Witcher,
23 Dennis Curry, Sue Carter, Patrick Putney, Steve McGrath, and Dorin Daniliuc.
24
389. On May 7, 2012, to prime Plaintiff for May 31, 2012 provocation ,
25
ordered UCDMC HR assigned pseudo Skelly Officer Michael Pansius to sign “HIS” decision to
26
suspend and deprive Plaintiff of his 10 days of earnings. Plaintiff’s budget was already stretched
27
due to last year’s financial losses caused by the Defendant, and Plaintiff was not happy about it
28

Page 131 of 132
1 at all.
2 390. On May 7, 2012, the UC Office of the President’s Director of
3 Investigations John Lohse got involved in the conflict against Plaintiff by sending Plaintiff a
4 letter in which he defended the corrupt UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo.
5 Afterwards, Plaintiff checked out John Lohse’s biography and found that:
6 “John A. Lohse is the Director of Investigations in the Office of the Senior
7 Vice President and Chief Compliance and Audit Officer of the Regents of the
8
University of California. He is responsible for coordinating, tracking,
9
managing and conducting investigations at the Office of the President and
10
system-wide. Mr. Lohse came to the University of California in January 2004
11
after a career with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), where he served
12
as a Special Agent, Associate Division Counsel and Chief Division Counsel
13
for the FBI’s San Francisco Division. In addition, the United States Attorney
14
for the Northern District of California appointed Mr. Lohse as a Special
15
Assistant United States Attorney. Prior to his service with the FBI, he was a
16
criminal prosecutor with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office in Phoenix,
17
18 Arizona. Mr. Lohse is a member of the State Bars of California and Arizona.
19 He is also a Private Investigator, licensed by the State of California. He was at
20 relevant time is a Director of Association of Work Place Investigators (AWI).”
21 391. Plaintiff was very impressed with Director John Lohse professional career
22 and achievements. However, in the situation Plaintiff found himself in with respect to his
23 employment, Plaintiff was convinced that Director Lohse was coordinating unknown actions
24 against Plaintiff and that Director Lohse perfectly fit the profile of framing Plaintiff. Plaintiff
25 expressed his thoughts in a response letter to Director John Lohse dated May 14, 2012. After
26 Plaintiff responded to Mr. Lohse’s letter and sent to his office a few other documents related to
27 the case, Plaintiff never heard from Lohse again.
28

Page 132 of 133
1 392. May 7, 2012, was a very busy day. Plaintiff did not know at this point
2 whether there was a coordinated action against Plaintiff to elevate Plaintiff’s stress level to the
3 expectations of the conspirators.
4 May 2012- The May 11, 2012 Ten Days Suspension Letter Without Pay
5
6
393. On May 11, 2012, Charles Witcher was ordered to serve Plaintiff a 10-
7
day suspension without pay from May 16, 2012, to May 30, 2012. The letter was based on
8
unspecified and fabricated accusations and allegations that were never witnessed by anybody.
9
Plaintiff’s stress levels and blood pressure went up, and nitroglycerine and Lorazepam were very
10
helpful.

25 394. In Charles Witcher’s Letter of Suspension, dated May 11, 2012, Plaintiff
26 was instructed to report to Charles Witcher’s office on May 31, 2012, at 8:00 a.m. Plaintiff was
27 not aware that just a day before, Charles Witcher had been instructed by Brent Seifert, Cindy
28

Page 134 of 135
1 Oropeza, or Stephen Chilcott from the HR Department to write and hand to Plaintiff the
2 investigatory leave note upon Plaintiff’s arrival, which, according to documents, should trigger
3 events which would end Plaintiff’s employment in the UC Davis Trauma Unit # 11 with Trauma
4 Unit Manager Karen Kouertas on standby to receive Plaintiff.
5
395. On May 14, 2012, Plaintiff filed a complaint under UC Davis Policy PPSM
6
70 against Defendant’ wrongful suspension
7
8 May 2012 – The Defendant Attack Aimed at Plaintiff Coworkers , Kenny Diede
and William Buckans
9
10
397. In further preparation to send Plaintiff to the trauma unit, on May 18 and
11
23, 2012, PO&M Manager Charles Witcher, Patrick Putney, Dennis Curry, and Mike Lewis, in a
12
retaliatory manner, attacked the two coworkers Plaintiff was representing in complaints against
13
some of the above-mentioned individuals. Within one week, Kenny Diede and William Buckans
14
were served with despicable Letters of Expectation, which were based on phony, unfounded, and
15
fabricated accusations.
16
17 May 2012- Plaintiff Protest Letter Entitled “ The Retaliation Isn’t Wise’
18 398. On May 24, 2012, Plaintiff issued a 13-page protest letter entitled, “The
19 Retaliation Isn’t Wise,” against management’s vicious attack on Kenny Diede and William
20 Buckans and sent it to the perpetrators and senior management and administration at UC Davis
21 and the UC Office of the President.

22 May 2012- The Stress Management Class
23 399. Per instruction in the Defendant’s letter of suspension, dated May 11, 2012,
24 on May 30, 2012, Plaintiff, with his two coworkers Kenny Diede and William Buckans, attended
25 voluntarily a stress management class at UC Davis Medical Center HR Building Tycon III.
26
Plaintiff signed for class one week before.
27
400. Just after Plaintiff had arrived and signed into the class, which was open to
28

Page 135 of 136
1 any UC Davis Medical Center employee who wanted to participate, Plaintiff was approached by
2 the class host HR Licensed Social Worker Marjorie Trogdon Shock and HR Workers
3 Compensation Manager Hugh Parker. To his disbelief, Plaintiff, after a short conversation with
4 Shock and Parker, was asked to leave the class and told that it was out of the question that Plaintiff
5
could stay and participate in the discussion. Plaintiff left the class and drove home without any
6
further incidents. Plaintiff did not know that or was aware on his 61st Birthday he was sentenced
7
to death by Defendant because on May 29, 2012 Defendant signed so long awaited power sale
8
contract with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District to sell surplus electrical energy from the
9
UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant cogeneration facility.
10
May 2012- May 30, 2012- Plaintiff’s 61st Birthday
11
12
401. May 30, 2012, was Plaintiff’s 61st birthday and on May 30, 2012, Plaintiff
13
did not know that the HR Workers Compensation Manager was a coordinator of the assembled
14
15 “UC Davis Death Squad” and planning to end Plaintiff’s employment with the University of
16 California on May 31, 2012 (the next day) at the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit. Plaintiff
17 also did not know on his 61st birthday that the host of the stress management class Marjorie
18 Trogdon Shock was also a member of the assembled “UC Davis Death Squad,” the goal of which
19 was to end Plaintiff’s employment at the UC Davis Trauma unit # 11 because Defendant signed
20 power sale contract for UCDMC Central Plant with Scaramanto Municipal Utility Distict
21 on May 29, 2012.
22 402. On May 31, 2012, per Defendant’ suspension letter dated May 11, 2012,
23 Plaintiff was scheduled to return to work after 10 months of absence and report to Charles
24
Witcher’s office in Bldg. 68.
25
403. Plaintiff had heard from his coworkers that the carpenter shop was
26
building two extra offices on the first level of Building 68, and Plaintiff was hoping that
27
Defendant would eventually move Plaintiff from the HVAC shop to Bldg. 68 and that the
28

Page 136 of 137
1 conflict would end.
2 May 2012- The May 31, 2012 Defendant Provocation to Kill Plaintiff
3
4 404. On May 31, 2012, I drove to work and parked my car next to HVAC shop
5
as usual with a valid parking permit. Before Plaintiff reported to the Department Head Charles
6
Witcher’s office, Plaintiff went to the Marriott Hotel across from the HVAC shop to eat
7
breakfast in the cafeteria. I met my two coworkers, who joined me for breakfast.
8
405. Plaintiff was not expecting to be placed on investigatory leave again,
9
which Plaintiff hated, and Plaintiff wanted to go back to work after such a long period of absence
10
regardless of the fact that Plaintiff had been subjected by Defendant to more than one year of
11
psychological terror, harassment, retaliation, significant loss of income, and multiple threats of
12
employment termination. Plaintiff could expect anything but never expected that that highly
13
regarded University of California would assemble a “Death Squad” to resolve the dispute with
14
15 the employee by using the police force to end the employee’s career with the university at the
16 trauma unit.
17 406. On May 30, 2012, just one day before the ill-planned provocation, HR
18 Supervisor Brent Seifer sent an e-mail to HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott stating that
19 Plaintiff’s superior Charles Witcher understands that Jerry (Plaintiff) will report to his office
20 tomorrow at 8 am. As soon as Jerry (Plaintiff) arrived, Charles would be issuing the
21 investigatory leave letter and directing him to meet with me.
22 407. On May 31, 2012, Plaintiff arrived at 8:00 a.m. at the Department Head
23 Charles Witcher’s office, and Charles Witcher handed Plaintiff a letter and sent him to the HR
24
Building Tycon III for an interview with HR Supervisor Brent Seifert. Maybe if Plaintiff had read
25
Charles Witcher’s letter in his office and found out that the Defendant were placing Plaintiff again
26
on investigatory leave and not letting him return to work after 10 days suspension, Plaintiff would
27
probably not have appreciated such actions. If Plaintiff had known that Defendant had maliciously
28

Page 137 of 138
1 attacked Plaintiff with a new phony investigation and that Plaintiff would be handed another
2 investigatory leave letter which could have been sent by e-mail or fax to Plaintiff, Plaintiff would
3 not even have bothered to go to UC Davis Medical Center on May 31, 2012. However, the
4 Defendant’ luring of Plaintiff to the workplace on May 31, 2012, was motivated by different goals
5
and reasons and involved deliberate premeditation not inform Plaintiff about the new investigatory
6
leave.
7
May 2012-I felt again like a Hunted Jew during the Holocaust.”
8
10
408. Plaintiff did not read the letter in Charles’ office and went straight to the
11
Human Resources Tycon Building for the meeting with Brent Seifert. HR Supervisor Brent Seifert
12
looked at Plaintiff upon his arrival like he wanted to ask Plaintiff what Plaintiff was doing in the
13
HR building meeting. At the end of the meeting—which was about phony, new, unfounded, made-
14
15 up, and out-of-the-blue accusations against Plaintiff and life in Romania, of which Brent Seifer
16 did not even know where it was located, Plaintiff asked Brent Seifert, “What’s next?” In response,
17 Brent Seifert said, “Didn’t you read the letter Witcher gave you? You are on investigatory leave
18 for the next two weeks.”
19 409. Plaintiff looked at the letter he received from Witcher, said ok, then left the
20 HR Building and Plaintiff went home. Plaintiff did not like the investigatory leave and Plaintiff
21 expressed his feelings thereafter in a letter entitled “I feel again like a Hunted Jew during the
22 Holocaust.” This is how the HR “Death Squad’s” plot to send Plaintiff the UC Davis Medical
23 Center # 11 failed.
24
410. Plaintiff on May 31, 2012, knew that something was wrong but Plaintiff
25
did not know any details about the malicious plan of the UC Davis Death Squad, “Kill Waszczuk,”
26
nor the unsuccessful provocation, until Plaintiff received relevant documents under the Public
27
Record Act Provision of November 2011. The documents are very clear as to what Defendant had
28

Page 138 of 139
1 planned for Plaintiff on May 31, 2012, the day after Plaintiff’s 61st birthday.
2
3 JUNE 2012
4 June 1,2012- Hugh Parker’s E-Mail to the Members of the ” UC Davis Death Squad”
5
6
411. On June 1, 2012, one day after falling ill and the maliciously crafted
7
provocation by the assembled UC Davis Death Squad, the coordinator of the provocation, HR
8
Workers Compensation Manager Hugh Parker, sent e-mail message to the other members of the
9
assembled UC Davis Death Squad members stating that
10
“Mr. Waszczuk (Plaintiff) had returned to work yesterday from his
11
suspension and was placed back on investigatory leave the same day. At
12
issue are writings sent by Mr. Waszczuk (Plaintiff) while on leave. Mr.
13
Waszczuk (Plaintiff) did not display any anger when told he was being
14
15 placed on investigatory leave.
16 412.. The Hugh Parker e-mail statement read: “At issue are writings sent by Mr.
17 Waszczuk (Plaintiff) while on leave. Mr. Waszczuk (Plaintiff) did not display any anger when
18 told he was being place on investigatory leave.” This translates to the following: that Plaintiff,
19 after almost one year of absence due to the Defendant’ psychological terror aimed at Plaintiff,
20 including threatening Plaintiff’s employment and livelihood by means of multiple investigatory
21 leave letters, which Plaintiff received from the Defendant as ill-planned provocations, should be
22 triggered to become angry and violent so that the UC Davis renegade Police Lt James Barbour,
23 bribed by means of a $35,000 wage increase by UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit # 11,
24
will do the job to eliminate Plaintiff from the UC Davis Medical Center landscape forever.
25
Apparently, UC Davis assembled Death Squad members underestimated Plaintiff and mistook
26
Plaintiff for somebody whose employment they had ended with UC Davis in this way.
27
28

Page 139 of 140
1 413. Plaintiff believes that similar provocation to end Plaintiff’s employment was
2 planned under the supervision and coordination of Hugh Parker on September 23, 2011, and that
3 this failed as well. According to Public Record Act documents received by Plaintiff, the report
4 crafted by Danesha Nichols to end Plaintiff’s employment on September 23, 2011, was
5
destroyed by the Defendant but Plaintiff believes that the report was not destroyed because
6
Danesha Nichols provided a copy of the report to Hugh Parker and the report should exist on the
7
Defendant’ servers if it was generated and saved and transmitted anywhere by means of
8
electronic mail.
9
414. Plaintiff looked at the assembled UC Davis Death Squad members’
10
names to identify who they are. The names of David Levine, Debra Schmidt, Marjorie Trogodon
11
Shock, Neil Speth, Carol Kirshnit, Karen Kouretas, Cindy Oropeza, Glynis Foulk, James
12
Barbour, and Travis Lindsay were all displayed on Hugh Parker’s e-mail message sent by Parker
13
on June 1, 2011. UC Davis Health System Executive Director Stephen Chilcott did not appear
14
15 among the eleven names of the assembled UC Davis Death Squad, but Stephen Chilcott’s name
16 appeared in the email dated May 30, 2012, which was sent by HR Supervisor Brent Seifert to
17 Stephen Chilcott in preparation for the ill-minded provocation and Plaintiff’s execution by UC
18 Davis Police.
19 June 1, 2012-The Members of the ” UC Davis Death Squad”

20
21 415. STEPHEN CHILCOTT J.D. – SBN # 1969905 Executive Director of

22 the UC Davis Health System Seventeen Human Resources Department and Services since
23 July 1, 2010, Superior of: Hugh Parker, Debra Schmidt, Marjorie Trogodon Shock, Neil Speth,
24
Carol Kirshnit, Cindy Oropeza, Brent Seifert, and Travis Lindsey.
25
416. Consequently, Stephen Chilcott, as the Executive Director of UC Davis
26
Health System (UCDHS), who was in charge of the Human Resources seventeen departments
27
and services, is responsible for the conspiracy, along with the other listed individuals, to cover up
28

Page 140 of 141
1 committed past unlawful activities committed by UCDHS directors and managers. He also
2 deprived Plaintiff of his employment with the University of California in the following manner:
3 417. HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott, in January 2009, solicited
4 Plaintiff to sign a Settlement-Agreement with the Regents of the University of California, which
5
provided Plaintiff’s indefinite employment with the University of California as an Associate
6
Development Engineer. Two years later, Stephen Chilcott turned around and violated the
7
settlement-agreement and dismissed Plaintiff without valid cause and in violation of every
8
possible University policy that applies to employee-employer relations, not to mention Plaintiff’s
9
age and health condition.
10
418. HR. Executive Director Stephen Chilcott kept Plaintiff like a slave for
11
more than one year on investigatory administrative paid and unpaid leave, in violation of UC
12
Davis Policy PPSM 63 and any common sense and logic. This was approved by Stephen Chilcott
13
in an attempt to psychologically terrorize Plaintiff to force Plaintiff to quit the job that was
14
15 granted to him by the 2009 Settlement-Agreement signed with the UC Regents, which HR
16 Director Stephen Chilcott grossly solicited and supervised then violated and disregarded.
17 419. Stephen Chilcott, as the Executive Director, a licensed Attorney at Law,
18 and the Locally Designated Official (LDO), with full knowledge of wrongdoing, conspired in a
19 premeditated fashion with other Defendant and UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi
20 Delmendo to cover the others’ crimes and gross misconduct, deliberate interference, and
21 retaliation against Plaintiff for reporting management misconduct and violation of state and
22 federal law and established University of California Policies and Procedures.
23 420. HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott, with malice and disregard for
24
state and federal law, conspired and dedicated himself to ending Plaintiff’s employment, doing
25
whatever it would take, and conspired with others, known and unknown, to kill Plaintiff or end
26
Plaintiff’s employment on May 31, 2012, in UC Davis Trauma Unit # 11, thus violating not only
27
Plaintiff’s civil rights but also, despicably, Plaintiff’s human rights to work and live.

2 Labor Relation Supervisor from April 2011 to March 2013, Stephen Chilcott’s subordinate in
3 2011–2012, likened attorney by the California State Bar.
4 422. Brent Seifert, as Employee and Labor Relations Supervisor for the
5
University of California at Davis Health System (“UCDHS”) from April 2011 to March 2013
6
and a labor law attorney with a J.D. degree, should know how “Personnel Policies for Staff
7
Members (PPSM) 62. Corrective Action — Professional and Support Staff” works instead
8
of participating in hunting down the 60-year-old Plaintiff like an animal and threatening
9
Plaintiff like a subhuman, thereby conspiring in a joint venture with his superior HR
10
Executive Director Stephen Chilcott and others, known and unknown, to kill Plaintiff or
11
end Plaintiff’s employment on May 31, 2012, in UC Davis Trauma Unit # 11, thus violating not
12
only Plaintiff’s civil rights but also, despicably, Plaintiff’s human rights to work and live.
13
423. CINDI OROPEZA- Human Resources Manager for Affirmative
14
15 Action/EEOC Real Title: Manager Benefits, EEO, Resident/Fellow Program HR Administrator,
16 Title IX Officer — Sexual Harassment, Mediation Services, ASAP, Early
17 Resolution/Inclusion in UC Davis Health System, HR Executive Stephen Chilcott’s
18 subordinate.
19 424. As early as 2006, Cindi Oropeza (hereinafter Oropeza), together with

20 Associate Executive Director Shelton Duruisseau, Ph.D., and Executive Director and
21 Defendant Mike Boyd and Pathology Department Manager Bettye Andreos, was a Divisional
22 Representative of the University of California, Davis Health System’s Equal Opportunity
23 Committee and held the position of chair of this Committee.
24
425. As the chair of this Equal Opportunity Committee, Oropeza was
25
responsible, together with Associate Executive Director Shelton Duruisseau, Ph.D., and
26
Executive Director Mike Boyd and Director Taylor, for assigning the “witch hunter” Bettye
27
Andreos, who was a member of this committee. The despicable massive witch hunt against
28

Page 142 of 143
1 Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s coworker William Buckans in 2006/2007, which intended to destroy
2 Plaintiff’s and Buckans’s livelihood, was retaliation for Buckan’s reporting on the unlawful
3 machine oil discharge from the Central Plant to the Sacramento or American River for seven
4 years via a city storm drain. The three above-mentioned directors were responsible for this
5
crime, as well as a few other criminally minded and corrupted individuals.
6
426. In 2011, Cindi Oropeza was in charge of the Mistreatment Office and UC
7
Davis Mistreatment Policy. Plaintiff filed a complaint on August 30, 2011, and a Mistreatment
8
Report against Defendant Patrick Putney and Defendant Danesha Nichols. Then, instead of
9
independently reviewing Plaintiff complaint, Oropeza conspired with HR Executive Director
10
Stephen Chilcott, thereby eliminating the Mistreatment Office and the Mistreatment Policy,
11
making them null and void. Oropeza gave Plaintiff’s complaint to HR attorney Danesha Nichols
12
for review, knowing that Nichols had already fabricated a report with a false accusations against
13
Plaintiff as a cause for Plaintiff’s termination, which was scheduled for September 23, 2011, of
14
15 which information was leaked out regarding the attempt to terminate Plaintiff, and Plaintiff did
16 not report to the UCDMC HR Building on this day. The Danesha Nichols Report for termination
17 was destroyed according to UC Davis Public Record Act office personnel.
18 427.. In February 2012, Oropeza called Plaintiff residence to arrange a meeting
19 with HR Labor Relation Manager Mike Garcia for informal conflict resolution. Plaintiff, in good
20 faith, held the meeting with Garcia and presented his proposition to resolve the conflict. Instead
21 of a counter offer or proposition to resolve, Plaintiff was suspended in May 2012 for 10 days
22 without pay, his two coworkers to whom Plaintiff provided representation came under vicious
23 attack, Garcia was replaced by a new HR Labor Relation Manager, and Garcia’s assistant Jill
24
Vandeviver was fired. Oropeza’s name is listed in a group of UC Davis employees who were
25
members of a specially assembled team nicknamed in the documents by Plaintiff “The UC Davis
26
Death Squad.”
27
428. On May 31, 2012, Plaintiff became the subject of an ill-crafted but
28

Page 143 of 144
1 unsuccessful provocation to kill Plaintiff by UC Davis Lt. James Barbour, who was bribed by
2 means of a $35,000 wage increase to end Plaintiff’s employment at the UC Davis Trauma Unit
3 No. 11.
4 429. The May 31, 2012, provocation to kill Plaintiff did not work as
5
anticipated; Oropeza then volunteered to craft, together with defendant Brent Seifert, a report
6
that defamed Plaintiff with false allegations in order to terminate Plaintiff on September 20,
7
2012. It was one year after Danesha Nichols had fabricated her report for Plaintiff’s termination
8
scheduled for September 23, 2011. Both reports are in gross violation of the 2009 Settlement
9
–Agreement signed by Plaintiff with Defendant.
10
430. Cindy Oropeza willfully participated in the plot to physically harm or
11
kill Plaintiff with full knowledge of the consequences of what she was doing, thus violating
12
not only Plaintiff’s civil rights but also despicably violating Plaintiff’s human rights to
13
work and live.
14
15 431. NEIL SPETH, DO—Medical Director of the UCDMC HR Employee
16 Health Services, HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott’s subordinate.
17 Plaintiff met Neil Speth in 2005 through the course of his employment at the UCDMC Central
18 Plant. Dr. Neil Speth almost killed Plaintiff in 2005 by forcing Plaintiff to take a spirometer test
19 against Plaintiff’s will. As a result of Dr. Speth’s irresponsible actions, Plaintiff landed
20 unconscious in the UCDMC ER. Plaintiff informed Dr. Speth at the relevant time that because of
21 Plaintiff’s medical condition, Plaintiff could not take a spirometer test. Plaintiff intended to take
22 legal action against Dr. Speth, but a few months later, Plaintiff had open-heart surgery and dropped
23 the idea to take Dr. Speth to court.
24
432. Plaintiff is not sure what kind of assignment Hugh Parker, the coordinator
25
of the HR Death Squad action against Plaintiff, gave to Dr. Speth for May 31, 2012, but it is
26
apparent that Dr. Speth had an assignment to ensure that Plaintiff stop breathing in the Trauma
27
Unit after the Lt. James Barbour’s response to UC Davis Death Squad Coordinator Hugh Parker’s
28

Page 144 of 145
1 call on May 31, 2012.
2 433. GLYNIS FOULK—Emergency Preparedness Coordinator at UC Davis
3 Medical Center Glynis Foulk’s position title speaks for itself. The HR Death Squad assignment
4 for Glynis Foulk was probably to block the route to the trauma unit if he received a sign
5
from the Death Squad Coordinator Hugh Parker that Plaintiff was still breathing after Lt.
6
James Barbour’s response to Hugh Parker’s call on May 31, 2012.
7
434. DAVID LEVINE—UC Davis Health System Counsel.
8
Waszczuk never met this individual. However, the presence of the UCDMC Counsel in the “HR
9
Death Squad” war game is an undoubted indication that the plan to “disable” Plaintiff on May
10
31, 2012, was precise, covering every possible angle, including the legal angle.
11
12
435. CAROL KIRSHNIT, Ph.D, and MARJORE TROGODON SHOCK,
13
LCSW—Members of the UC DAVIS MEDICAL CENETR HR Academic and Staff Assistance
14
15 Program.
16 436. Carol Kirshnit is a licensed clinical psychologist and the coordinator of the
17 Academic and Staff Assistance Program at UC Davis Health System, and Marjorie Trogodon
18 Shock is a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of clinical experience.
19 Plaintiff believes that Carol Kirshnit, Ph.D, was the person who, as a doctor of psychology,
20 professionally advised her Superior HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott and the UC
21 Davis Death Squad coordinator Hugh Parker as to whether Plaintiff was properly primed
22 and aroused to be provoked and killed on May 31, 2012, and whether Plaintiff’s
23 employment would end in the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit .
24
437. Marjorie Trogodon Shock was the person who, on May 30, 2012,
25
together with the Death Squad Coordinator, removed Plaintiff from the stress management class.
26
Apparently, Shock was perfectly aware and informed about the ill-crafted provocation of May
27
31, 2012, to kill Plaintiff. Plaintiff believes that her participation in the plot was to comfort
28

Page 145 of 146
1 and consult staff after Plaintiff’s death or his being deadly harmed by UC Davis Police Lt
2 James Barbour, who was assigned to the provocation plot
3 438. HUGH PARKER—UC Davis Health Systems Manager, Workers’
4 Compensation, Ergonomics, Disability Management. HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott’s
5
direct subordinate.
6
439. Plaintiff knew Hugh Parker since 2000 and met Hugh Parker two times
7
when Hugh Parker held a Consultant position in HR Labor Relations. Plaintiff never expected
8
that Hugh Parker, as HR Workers Compensation Manager, would become a Trojan Horse in
9
10 Plaintiff’s employment termination and that Parker would become a coordinator of the UC Davis
11 Death Squad and of the maliciously crafted provocation to kill Plaintiff on May 31, 2012, or end
12 Plaintiff’s employment at the UC Davis Medical Center. Plaintiff hopes that Hugh Parker
13 sooner or later, together with the co-conspirators, will get what he deserves according to
14 state and federal law.

15
440. TRAVIS LINDSEY licensed attorney at law—The New UCDMC HR
16
Labor Relations Manager who replaced Mike Garcia on May 1st 2012. Direct subordinate of HR
17
Executive Director Stephen Chilcott.
18
441. Travis Lindsey was the most active and notorious member of the
19
20 assembled UC Davis Death Squad. In May 2012 and thereafter, Lindsey was looking for any
21 reason she could use to terminate Plaintiff’s employment. Plaintiff looked at Lindsey’s job
22 history and credentials on the Web and it appears that Lindsey never advanced in his attorney
23 legal career beyond the position of associate attorney in four different law firms from January
24 2003 to May 2012. The working record also shows that Lindsey never worked in a Human
25 Resources department at any private enterprise or public employment, did not have any
26 supervisory or managerial experience, and had not directly handled any labor issues prior to
27 being hired by UC Davis Medical Center in 2012.
28

2 442. LT. JAMES BARBOUR—UC DAVIS POLICE DEPARTMENT

3 Lt. James Barbour in May 2012 was assigned by the new UC Davis Police Chief Matt
4 Carmichael to kill or harm Plaintiff with a deadly weapon on May 31, 2012, in a maliciously
5
crafted unsuccessful provocation in exchange for a $35,000 wage increase. Multiple email
6
correspondences between the coordinator of the assembled UC Death Squad Hugh Parker shows
7
the Lt.’s Barbour dedication to attack Plaintiff by any means after the unsuccessful
8
provocation on May 31, 2012.
9
443.. KAREN KOUERTAS—R.N., M.S.N. Nurse Manager for UC Davis
10
Medical Center Trauma Nursing Unit (TNU) # 11
11
The Davis 11 Trauma Nursing Unit (TNU) is a 36-bed acute care
12 specialty and telemetry unit that primarily provides inpatient care and
treatment for patients who have sustained blunt or penetrating injury, as
13 well as those who may require surgical intervention. This includes care of
patients with suspected or confirmed intra-abdominal injuries, complex
14 wound management, orthopedic fractures, head/neck/face injuries, brain
trauma, chest trauma, and pulmonary injury.
15
16 444. By reading the purpose of Trauma Nursing Unit # 11 at UC Davis Medical
17 Center, it creates an unbelievably chilling picture of what the “HR Death Squad Members,”
18 including Karen Kouertas, had in their sick minds in relation to the meticulously and maliciously
19 crafted provocation of May 31, 2012, to eliminate Plaintiff from UC Davis Medical Center
20 landscape.
21 445. In July 2013, Plaintiff made an attempt to find out through the State of
22 California Board of Registered Nurses the capacity of Karen Kouretas’s involvement in the
23
activity of the assembled UC Davis Death Squad.
24
446. It is very important for the Board of Registered Nursing to know that the
25
board is issuing licenses not only to nurses who work very hard to take care of sick and ill people
26
but also to nurses, like Karen Kouretas, who collaborate and associate themselves with a group
27
of people whose goals are to provoke, kill, and deliver their victims to her unit for unspecified
28

Page 147 of 148
1 treatments. This is my main concern: whether Karen Kouretas should be eligible to hold an RN
2 license for such activities.
3 June 6, 2012 –Plaintiff’s Paystub
4 447. On June 6, 2012, Plaintiff received his paystub with pay period ending
5
May 26, 2012, with only $182.00 because the May 11, 2012, unwarranted suspension without
6
pay for 10 working days.
7
448. On June 6, 2012, one week after the unsuccessful provocation to end
8
Plaintiff’s employment at the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit # 11, the UC Davis
9
Medical Plant Operation and Maintenance Assistant Manager Dennis approached Plaintiff’s
10
coworker Kenny Diede in a threatening manner and requested that Kenny Diede stay as far away
11
as possible from Plaintiff. Plaintiff, in 2012, provided representation to Kenny Diede about his
12
complaint under UC Davis Policy PPSM 70. Thereafter, Dennis Curry sent a threatening and
13
intimidating e-mail to Plaintiff with cc to many UC administrators and management.
14
15 449. Dennis Curry in June 2012 became subject to an investigation by the UC
16 Davis Compliance Office due to borrowing from contractors who were working in UC Davis
17 Medical Center and not giving them the money back.
18 450. Dennis Curry was removed from the premises just two weeks before he
19 retired from the University and after 35 years of service.

20 June 12, 2012- Plaintiff Letter to the UC Davis Medical Center Compliance & Privacy
Investigator Gina Guillaume-Holleman
21
22
451. On June 12, 2012, Plaintiff sent a 24-page letter to the UC Davis Medical
23
Center Compliance & Privacy Investigator Gina Guillaume-Holleman. The letter was entitled:
24
“THE SUMMARY OF THE FEW UNRESOLVED ISSUES IN UC DAVIS
25
26 MEDICAL CENTER PO&M AND HUMAN RESOURCES
27 DEPARTMENTS; POSITIONS AND WAGES; DENNIS CURRY &
28 CONTRACTOR(S); UCDMC DIRECTORS & DORIN DANILUC; SHORT

5
The Center Compliance & Privacy Investigator Gina Guillaume-Holleman was investigating
6
Dennis Curry relation with contractors working in the UC Davis Medical Center.
7
8
June13, 2012 – The Investigatory Leave Extension
9
452. On June 13, 2012, UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and
10
Maintenance Department Head Charles Witcher sent an email letter to Plaintiff stating that
11
Plaintiff’s investigatory leave was being extended from June 14, 2012, through June 27, 2012.
12
Furthermore, the e-mail stated that Plaintiff was thereby relieved from all work duties for the
13
duration of this investigation. This duration was intended to allow additional time to collect
14
15 relevant information and determine the facts surrounding e-mails that Plaintiff sent, which were
16 believed to contain discriminatory content. Plaintiff would remain on pay status during that time.
17 During this leave, Plaintiff would not be allowed to have access to the work place. Plaintiff
18 would remain available during business hours should it be required that Plaintiff participate
19 in this investigation. There was no word in Witcher’s e-mail that Plaintiff violated the 2009
20 Settlement-Agreement signed by Plaintiff with the UC Regents.
21 June 14, 2012-The State of California’s Insurance Commissioner Office Decision
22
23 453. On June 14, 2012, two weeks after the unsuccessful provocation to end
24
Plaintiff’s employment at the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit # 11, Plaintiff received a
25
decision from the State of California’s Insurance Commissioner Office in regard to the complaint
26
Plaintiff filed in November 2011 against the Liberty Assurance Company of Boston, which, in
27
conspiracy with the Defendant, denied Plaintiff Short Term Disability Benefits. The decision,
28

Page 149 of 150
1 issued after an eight-month investigation, stated that: “After reviewing the information provided,
2 we conclude that we are unable to assist you further with this matter. The issues involved with
3 your complaint indicate that there is a difference of opinion between you and the insurance
4 company that this Department, as outlined in California Insurance Code Section 12921.4(a), does
5
not have the authority to decide.” How convenient.
6
June 21, 2012 – Plaintiff’s Letter to UC Davis Police Captain Joyce Souza
7
454. On June 21, 2012, Plaintiff sent a summary and request for information
8
letter to UC Davis Police Captain Joyce Souza to whom Plaintiff, since October 2011, was
9
providing information about the ongoing situation at UC Davis Medical Center. Plaintiff sent a
10
letter to Captain Souza due to the unusual greeting Plaintiff received from UC Davis Police Lt.
11
James Barbour three weeks after Plaintiff was almost killed due to the ill-planned provocation.
12
As in October 2011, Plaintiff asked Captain Souza for information about any complaint that had
13
been filed against Plaintiff by anybody with the UC Davis Police Department (UC Davis
14
15 Campus or UC Davis Medical Center) from the period of November 1, 2011, to the present time.
16 455. Furthermore, in his letter to Captain Joyce Souza, Plaintiff stated that
17 based on multiple correspondences that Plaintiff forwarded to Captain Souza’s office, Captain
18 Souza was most likely aware that Plaintiff had not been working since August 2, 2011. Plaintiff
19 spent eight months of this period on administrative leave and investigatory leave plus 10 days of
20 suspension without pay as a retaliation. Plaintiff elaborated in his letter to Captain Souza that it is
21 not difficult for anyone to figure out that the eight months on administrative and investigatory
22 leave indicate that something went terribly wrong or is going to go terribly wrong for a long time
23 in the UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Department and Human
24
Resources Department.
25
The UC Davis Pepper Spray Incident investigation took only five months to issue the final
26
report. (From November 2011 to March 2012) and Plaintiff’s case has been going since
27
March 13, 2011.
28

Page 150 of 151
1 456. Plaintiff also asked Captain Souza whether she could give Plaintiff, under
2 the provision of the Government Code 6254(f), a copy of the report about UC Davis Medical
3 Center PO&M Management’s meeting with UC Davis Police on May 7, 2012. If this was
4 possible, Plaintiff would have been glad to send to Captain Souza’s office the signed Report
5
Request Form added by Plaintiff. As Plaintiff recalls, shortly after, Plaintiff received an e-mail
6
from Captain Souza informing Plaintiff that Captain Souza had retired from the University of
7
California and would no longer be responding to my requests.

June 22, 2012 – The HR Consultant Gina Harwood’s Announcement
9
457. On June 22, 2012, one of the most deceptive and dishonest UC Davis
10
Medical Center HR Consultant’s, Gina Harwood, announced with triumph by letter that the UC
11
Davis Medical Center HR Labor Relations Manager Humberto Garcia and attorney and HR
12
Consultant Jill Noel Vandeviver were no longer working for HR Labor Relations and that she
13
was taking over Plaintiff’s coworkers Kenny Diede and William Buckans’ complaints, which
14
15 were filed under Policy PPSM 70 and to whom Plaintiff was providing representation. Gina
16 Harwood was removed by Humberto Garcia in January or February 2012 to handle Plaintiff and
17 his coworkers’ complaints, which were assigned to HR consultant Jill Noel Vanderviver.
18 458. On June 24, 2012, Plaintiff responded to Gina Harwood’s announcement
19 about Humberto Garcia and Jill Noel Vandeviver’s departure from UC Davis Medical Center with
20 a 10-page letter.
21 June 27, 2012 – The Investigatory Leave Extension
22 459. On June 27, 2012, Plaintiff called UC Davis Medical Center Plant
23 Operation Manager Charles Witcher and asked him about Plaintiff’s status because the last
24
investigatory leave letter had expired on June 27, 2012. Thereafter, Charles Witcher sent Plaintiff
25
another routine two-weeks extension, stating that the letter confirmed that Plaintiff’s
26
investigatory leave was being extended from June 28, 2012, through July 11, 2012. Plaintiff was
27
hereby relieved from all work duties for the duration of this investigation. This would allow
28

Page 151 of 152
1 additional time to determine the facts surrounding e-mails Plaintiff was believed to have sent
2 containing discriminatory content and to collect relevant information. Plaintiff would remain on
3 pay status during this time.
4 During this leave, Plaintiff would not be allowed to have access to the work place. Plaintiff was
5
to remain available during business hours should they require his participation in the
6
investigation. This was exactly the same letter as the one Plaintiff had received on June 13, 2012.
7
June 27, 2012 – The Palintiff’s Response to The Investigatory Leave Extension
8
460. Not to let Charles Witcher think that Plaintiff liked staying at home or
9
10 enjoyed being UC Davis Medical Center management’s prisoner, sentenced to one year of home
11 arrest for unknown causes, Plaintiff responded to Witcher’s investigatory extension letter as
12 follows:
13 “Do you have any clue who is being investigated and why this investigation is
14 causing me this Investigatory Leave for such a long time?
15
Did you receive any threats against me and are you keeping me out of the
16
Medical Center for my safety or is it for a different reason?
17
I am just curious because it is weird and makes me very nervous that I am still
18
on the UC Payroll for so long and I can’t work. I am getting all kinds of
19
information and it makes me wonder what is going on behind the scenes of
20
your Investigatory Leave. I am not sure if all the information I am receiving is
21
true but, almost always, rumors and gossip contain 5% of the truth.
22
Today, I received information about the Director Taylor and Mike Pansius’
23
24
retirement. A few weeks ago, I heard about Dennis Curry’s suspension or
25 administrative leave just before his retirement. Last Friday, I received official
26 information about Mike Garcia and Jill Noel Vandeviver’s departure from the
27 HR Labor Relations Department.
28 Today, my Investigatory leave was forgotten. It was a very hard decision for

Page 152 of 153
1 me to call you about this investigatory leave, and I almost decided to drive to
2 work tomorrow, but I did not want to be approached by Dennis Curry or
3 UCDMC Lt. James Barbour after they sent me special email advise, not to
4 mention the possibility of meeting or being approached by or stalked by the
5
HVAC Shop chicken, ducks, and goats merchants manager. It is still blowing
6
my mind that this jerk is still there and is supervising people after what he has
7
done to me and after all the damages he has caused to the UCDMC working
8
environment. His behavior affected me and involved many other people in this
9
mess for no reason. Can’t you make the wise decision to move this guy from
10
the HVAC Shop to a different place and give a people a break.
11
I am also hearing all the time that people from the HVAC shop love to have
12
Steve McGrath or Corey from the PM shop as their supervisors. Don’t think
13
any of them are my friends. I know Steve quite well but I don’t know Corey
14
15 and I only built my positive opinion of Corey from the HVAC and PM shops
16 people, who I know and have good relations with.
17 Do you know who is in charge of the HR Labor Relations after Mike Garcia
18 left? I thought a few my months back that Jill Noel Vandeviver was going to
19 replace Mike with her very aggressive introduction to the ongoing matters
20 related to myself, Kenny Diede, and William Buckans, as well as associated
21 PO&M personnel. It is my understanding that an Investigatory Leave Letter
22 has to be approved by HR Labor Relation Chief.
23 Also, there is an issue with my employee evaluation for 2010/2011. I am still a
24
UC employee and would appreciate it if you provide me with the evaluation
25
for 2010/2011. At least for the period I was in the shop and was working until
26
August 2, 2011. The time for 2011/2012 evaluations is approaching, and I am
27
not sure how I should be evaluated when I am not working and due to a
28

Page 153 of 154
1 pending dispute. Please advise me, or should I direct this problem to the HR
2 Chiefs. Charles Witcher responded with another two Investigatory Leave
3 Extension and Notice of Termination of Plaintiff’s employment.

July 3, 2012—HR Consultant Gina Harwood’s Letter Entitled
7 “Jerry Waszezuk Timeline/Summary”
8
9
461. On July 3, 2012, notoriously deceptive UC Davis Medical Center HR
10
Consultant Gina Harwood sent an e-mail to her supervisor, Brent Seifert, with the attached letter
11
(“Jerry Waszczuk Timeline /Summary”) described by Gina Harwood as “thrown together really
12
quick.” Besides, the mentioned summary was full of slanderous lies and unfounded, made-up
13
accusations about Plaintiff, which she began generating in 2011 and is repeating with demeaning
14
lies about Plaintiff in this summary. Gina Harwood also complained to Brent Seifert about
15
dismissed in June the HR Labor Relation Consultant, Jill Noel Vandrviver . HR consultant Jill
16
17
Noel Vandrviver was dismissed together with the HR Labor Relation Manger, Humberto Garcia
18 in June 2012. Gina Harwood was removed in January or February 2012, from handling Plaintiff
19 and Plaintiff’s coworker’s complaints against Plant Operation Maintenance Department
20 management misconduct, retaliation and harassment. It was most likely that Gina Harwood
21 contributed much of her effort to make Humberto Garcia and Jill Noel Vanedviver dismissed
22 from their jobs in retaliation for being removed from the assignment.
23 462. In her July, 2012, full-of-lies defacing-the-Plaintiff summary, Gina Harwood wrote:
24 Jerry Waszczuk Timeline/Summary
25 “Jaroslaw Waszczuk is an employee in the HVAC Shop as an Associate
26 Development Engineer, he has been employed for 13 years. He is responsible
27
for monitoring the Metasys system which monitors alarms throughout the
28

Page 154 of 155
1 health system. Ms. Waszczuk has the responsibility to act when an alarm goes
2 off in the system.
3 In April 2011, it was discovered that a refrigerator alarm had gone off several
4 times over an 11 day period. Mr. Waszczuk was approached about the missed
5
alarms and reacted inappropriately to management, it was reported he was
6
yelling and screaming at his supervisor. The Assistant Manager reported to the
7
workplace and removed Mr. Waszczuk from the workplace and calmed him
8
down. A similar incident of behavior from Mr. Waszczuk occurred in May
9
2011,
10
Mr. Waszczuk sent an email to Charles Witcher regarding issues he was
11
having in the workplace. Mr. Witcher had a meeting with him to discuss the
12
allegations. The department met with Principal Labor Relations Consultant
13
Gina Harwood regarding his behavior and the missed alarm. Ms. Harwood also
14
15 received a complaint letter from Mr. Waszczuk with. Multiple allegations, this
16 all took place at the end of May beginning of June. Mr. Waszczuk stated that
17 Mr. Witcher was handling his complaint. Ms. Harwood asked to meet with Mr.
18 Waszczuk as a follow up to his complaint, meeting took place the second week
19 of July. Prior to the meeting, Patrick Putney filed a violence in the workplace
20 incident related to the April and May incidents. Ms. Waszczuk made several
21 allegations in his email and during the meeting related to misuse of University
22 resources by his supervisors, Ms. Harwood sent the information to Wendi
23 Delmendo for review and Danesha Nichols was appointed to investigate the
24
allegations from Mr. Waszczuk and the Violence in the Workplace complaints.
25
During the investigation, Mr. Waszczuk was placed on investigatory leave. He
26
began a letter/email writing campaign to multiple UC employees. The email
27
communications were inflammatory and contained discriminatory comments
28

Page 155 of 156
1 as well as personal attacks on various staff in the department and HR. Mr.
2 Waszczuk sent his emails to UC employees at various locations and continued
3 to send them after being directed to communicate directly with the
4 department. During the investigatory process, he initially refused to meet with
5
the investigator. He eventually agreed to a meeting and participated in the
6
investigatory interview, The investigator issue 3 separate reports based on her
7
investigation. The report regarding Mr. Waszczuk substantiated that he
8
violated policy 1616 — Violence and Hate Incidents in the Workplace, 380-
9
15 Staff Complaints of Discrimination. Mr. Waszczuk was suspended for 10
10
days without pay. He has filed a formal complaint regarding the suspension
11
was denied at step 1. Step 2 appeal due July 16, 2012.
12
Mr. Waszczuk has had sporadic periods of medical leave throughout the
13
last year. He was provided information on workers compensation and
14
15 denied to file. He applied for Liberty Mutual and his claim was denied,
16 Throughout the entire process, he has continued to send inflammatory emails
17 regarding staff members to members of the UC community and outside parties.
18 He was placed on investigatory leave immediately following his suspension for
19 allegations that he continued to send emails with discriminatory language. He

20 currently has 2 formal PPSM complaints, one for his suspension and one for
21 his most recent investigatory leave. HR has received several complaints from
22 staff stating they do not wish to receive his emails, His supervisors have both
23 filed stress claims identifying his behavior as the cause. “
24
25
463. The Summary itself as no so much interesting but interesting is why HR
26
Labor Relation Supervisor Brent Seifert requested the summary on Plaintiff from Gina Harwood.
27
Brent Seifert listed in Hugh Parker’s e-mail chat dated June 1, 2012 about May 31, 2012 ill crafted
28

Page 156 of 157

4 Employment Manager Cindy Oropeza to fabricate cause for Plaintiff termination if planned and
5
ill crafted provocation to kill Plaintiff will fail on May 31, 2012.
6
465. It is appear from Gina Harwood’s summary that was some urgency to deal
7
with Plaintiff after Plaintiff sent letters on June On June 12, 2012 Plaintiff sent 24 pages letter to
8
the UC Davis Medical Center Compliance & Privacy Investigator Gina Guillaume-Holleman
9

10
June 21, 2012 letter UC Davis Police Captain Souza and requested information about UC Davis
11
Management Plant Operation and Maintenance Department managers and supervisors gathering

13
Plaintiff discussed his status of being kept on investigatory and administrative leave for one year
14
15 without knowing why and in contrary and in light of the widely publicized in media November
16 18 , 2011 pepper spray attack ordered by UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi and investigation of
17 this incident which concluded within five months . Plaintiff did not understand for what crime his
18 being kept hostage for one year on investigatory leave and why he is being investigated.
19 466. Beside the letters to Captain Souza and Compliance Investigator Gina
20 Gauilaumme –Holleman Plaitiff on June 27, 2012 sent letter to his Department Head Charles
21 Witcher and demanded answer why Plaintiff is kept on investigatory leave and why he is not
22 being permitted to go back to work and do his duty . Plaintiff never received response from Charles

2 468. In May 2012 two Plaintiff’s coworkers Kenneth Diede and William
3 Buckans were attacked by their supervisors and served with despicable and maliciously crafted
4 letters of expectations. The letters of expectations were served to them not because they did
5
something wrong but to humiliate and harass them because Plaintiff was providing to them
6
representation in their complaints against management misconduct harassment and retaliation.
7
469. The Department Head Charles Witcher who was responsible this reckless
8
against Kenny Diede and William Buckans and routinely with help of HR Consultant Gina

Medical Center Chief Compliance Office
21
22 471. On July 18, 2012, Investigator Gina Gaullaume-Holleman from the UC

23 Davis Medical Center (UCDMC) Chief Compliance Office interviewed one of my coworkers
24 from the HVAC shop. Mark Montoya

26
called unexpectedly to be interviewed with Gina Guillaume-Holleman.
27
472. Mark Montoya was even more surprised when Gina Gaulliuaum -Hollmann
28

Page 158 of 159
1 showed him a Plaintiff ‘s photo and asked Mark Montoya whether Plaintiff was and is a threat
2 for him and without any hesitation she attempted to solicit it from Mark Montoya confirmation
3 signature on the affidavit which stated that Plaintiff is treat for him and dangerous individual.
4 Mark Motoya refused and left the Gina Gaulliuaume –Hollmann’ s Office
5
473. After Mark Montoya left Gina Gaulliuaume –Hollmann’ s Office than
6
immediately he told his coworker Kenny Diede about and disclosed the information. Mark
7
Montoya had no clue why he was picked –up as only person from HVAC shop for this Defendant’s
8
malicious and criminally minded attempt to frame Plaintiff.
9
474. Plaintiff has general idea why and by who Mark Montoya was singled out
10
for this Defendant conspiracy to frame Plaintiff after untuneful May 31, 2012 provocation to kill
11
Plaintiff by assembled UC Davis Death Squad. Kenny Diede called Plaintiff on same day and
12
disclosed Mark Montoya’s revelation to Plaintiff.
13
475. In July 2012 Plaintiff did get stress out so much about Mark Motoya’s
14
15 interview revelation and his disclosure about conspiracy to frame Plaintiff because in July 2012
16 Plaintiff did not know at that time anything about May 31, 2012 provocation to kill him or end
17 Plaintiff’s employment in the UCDMC Trauma Unit # 11 .
18 476. Plaintiff suspected that something was wrong but did have any evidence to
19 proof anything bedside that he was removed from stress management class on May 30, 2012 and
20 was served with Investigatory Leave letter on May 31, 2012 and was not permitted to work by
21 Defendant.
22 477. Few days later mark Montoya called Plaintiff and confirmed what Kenny
23 Diede told Plaintiff about his interview with Gina Gaulliuaume –Hollmann’on July 18, 2012.
24
325. On July 23, Plaintiff decided for the record to write few additional words to Gina
25
Gaulliuaume –Hollmann’as follow;
26
“Dear Ms. Guillame -Holleman:
27
For the record and in addition to my previous e-mail I would like to inform
28

Page 159 of 160
1 you that the person to whom you show my photo and asked him if am a threat
2 for him confirmed the fact. The interviewed person called me last Saturday and
3 told me about your " I am looking for Jerry Waszczuk Most Wanted Bandit by
4 the University of California"
5
The initial information I received was from the second hand. The interviewed
6
person also disclosed information to me that he had been questioned by Patrick
7
Putney just after meeting with you about the interview subject and what you
8
was asking him during the interview. Also, I have learned that you asked the
9
interviewed person whether anybody in HVAC shop is honest. I could answer
10
your question as follow: Beside the Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc the
11
HVAC shop employees are honest people. However, I found out in Danesha
12
Nichol's Report that some of them were coerced by Putney, Curry and Daniluc
13
and they said some things which no makes sense or logic. I know what the
14
15 reason was behind for their statements but I don't care much it because I never
16 had any problem with any of my coworkers in the HVAC shop during my
17 employment from March 2007- to August 2, 2012 and will not have any
18 problem if I eventually comeback to work .
19 I will not make big deal about my" photo and your question “Apparently you
20 was instructed by somebody to find cause for my employment termination. I
21 like to mention that at first I got outraged about your interview with my
22 coworker but after the interviewed person called me about than I told my to
23 myself: . Why I have to stress myself for something I have no control over
24
until the whole case go to court. "
25
You as an employee of UCDMC Compliance office shall follow Canons of
26
Ethic during the interview. By showing my photo and trying makes me like
27
most wanted at large bandit is not going to help my employer in any way but
28

Page 160 of 161
1 for sure it will help me in the court proceeding . If anybody could be dangerous
2 in the HVAC shop than the person is Patrick Putney who according to
3 information I am receiving, he is acting lately very erratically and he snapping
4 and his hands are shaking like a wheel with bad alignment . This guy lost his
5
only support who was Dennis Curry . Dorin Daniluc is not in shop to help him.
6
Dorin is probably scare to be there by knowing Patrick, behavior and his
7
weapon arsenal he has in his compound on the country.
8
Attached is the print out of the Habanero Hot Restaurant in Lodi where
9
Patrick Putney and Dennis Curry have enjoyed free meals thanks to Tech - Mar
10
Contractor "hospitality and generosity" .
11
I think that such things should be the subject of your investigation instead
12
of looking whether 61 old Jerry Waszczuk is candidate for the Poster of
13
the "Most Wanted and Dangerous Bandits at Large"
14
15 I addition attached is the printout of the "AAPC Code Of Ethics" as an
16 reminder.

21 Investigator Gina Gaullaume-Holleman, the UC Davis health System Executive Director
22 Stephen Chilcott was alerted and requested on July 25, 2012 from his subordinate, the new HR
23 Labor Relation Manger Travis Lindsey to provide him with a summary of the UC Davis
24 Medical Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Department matter as a rationale for

early assignment of defense counsel that they can provide to UC Davis Health System Chief

10
the Investigatory Leave. This time the Plant Operation and Maintenance Manager Charles Witcher,
11

August 2, 2012 – The UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendy Delmendo’s e-mail
15 to Kenney Diede
16 482. On August 2, 2012 the UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendy
17 Delmendo sent an e-mail to the Plaintiff’s coworker Kenney Diede, attempting to drag Kenny
18 Diede into a deceptive and useless whistleblowing complaint, just as she had attempted to do
19 with Plaintiff in July 2011. Plaintiff was almost killed on May 31, 2012, due to Wendy
20 Delmendo’s effort and dedication to destroy the UC Davis employees life’s and livelihoods
21 instead of providing help to them .
22 483. In her August 2, 2012, email letter to Kenny Diede (whom Plaintiff was
23 successfully representing in his complaints against management misconduct under the UC Davis
24 Policy PPSM 70), Wendy Delmendo wrote:
25
“I recently learned that you have filed a grievance in which you allege you
26
have been subject to retaliation. I am writing to inform you that your allegation
27
of retaliation may also be eligible for review under the University’s
28

Page 162 of 163
1 Whistleblower Protection Policy. If you believe you were retaliated against
2 because you made a protected disclosure, you may file a complaint of
3 whistleblower retaliation by sending me a signed, sworn statement of your
4 complaint using the form available at (Web site).”
5
484. Kenny Diede was the person who had had the courage, in July 2011, to
6
report a twice-convicted child pornography felon to the federal court parole; this felon was often
7
a guest at the UC Davis Medical Center HVAC shop and was accessing the shop commuters.
8
The felon was prohibited by court order from touching any computer with access to the Internet
9
regardless of whether it was his home computer or an outside computer.
10
485. The UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendy Delmendo was the
11
person who in July 2011 assigned HR investigator Danesha Nichols and ordered her to fabricate
12
a cause for Plaintiff’s employment termination and to cover up in her pseudo-reports the
13
unlawful child pornography felon activities taking place on the premises, as well as management
14
15 misconduct, harassment, retaliation, abuse of power, violation of state and federal law, and
16 Delmendo openly participating in Plaintiff’s employment termination in 2012 and almost getting
17 Plaintiff killed with her help.
18 486. As Kenny Diede’s representative, Plaintiff advised Kenny Diede to
19 decline Wendy Delmendo’s deceptive and misleading offer with the following words in
20 response:
21 Dear Ms. Delmendo:
22 I appreciate your concern. However, I am not sure what you are referring to in
23 your letter in regard to my complaints.
24
For your information, I filed two complaints against my manager Patrick
25
Putney’s vendetta and retaliation. (I believe that you are very familiar with this
26
person’s name). I am not only a victim of Patrick’s Putney behavior. My two
27
complaints against Patrick Putney are pending and problems probably would
28

Page 163 of 164
1 not exist if HR Department would be more persistent in dealing with this
2 vindictive and horribly terrifying behavior in the work place.
3 One complaint I filed is related to my 2010/2011 evaluation and has been
4 pending unresolved by the UCDMC HR for almost one year. The other
5
complaint is pending since June 2012 and is related to the Letter of
6
Expectation, which is based on ridiculous and unfounded accusations and
7
which I received in May 2012. Both complaints are in the Appeal II process
8
and being handled by Mrs. Gina Harwood from the HR Labor Relations
9
Department.
10
I am being represented in both complaints by my coworker Jerry Waszczuk.
11
I would like to thank you again for writing to me but I believe that an
12
independent arbitrator or court of law is a better way to deal with managers
13
such as Patrick Putney.
14
15 If you have any additional questions or concerns please contact my complaints
16 representative Jerry Waszczuk, who will be glad to answer any of your
17 questions.
18 His phone number is 209-663-2977.
19 E-Mail: ucdmclaborchat@comcast.net “
20 487. In addition to the UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Title, on February 2, 2014,
21 Wendy Delmendo accrued the “Lead Discrimination Officer” title per order of the University of
22 California President Janet Napolitano after an enormous discrimination scandal on the University
23 of California, Los Angeles campus.
24
The Lead Discrimination Officer title fits Wendy Delmendo perfectly. She advanced herself in
25
her skill in how to discriminate and hurt employees while advising UC Davis administration
26
without leaving a trace of discrimination and harassment.

1 August 9, 2012- The HR Consultant Gina Harwood’s Letter to Kenny Diede
2
3 488. After UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo’s

4 unsuccessful attempt to drag Kenny Diede into her whistleblowing complaint trap, the HR
5
Consultant Gina Harwood sent a letter to Kenny Diede and informed him that this letter serves as
6
confirmation that the above Kenny Diede’s complaint had been filed under UC Davis Policy
7
PPSM 70 and will be placed in abeyance pending Mr. Waszczuk’s (Plaintiff’s) ability to
8
attend a Step 2 meeting as Kenny Diede’s representative. When Waszczuk (Plaintiff) was
9
free to serve as Kenny Diede’s representative at the meeting, Gina Harwood would remove the
10
complaint from abeyance and a meeting would be scheduled.
11
489. From Gina Harwood’s letter, Plaintiff learned that Defendant were in
12
violation of all rules, law, and the 2009 Settlement-Agreement by prohibiting Plaintiff from
13
not only working but also representing his coworkers in their complaints. The other
14
15 Plaintiff’s coworker William Buckans, to whom Plaintiff was providing representation, received
16 a similar letter from Gina Harwood.
17 August 9, 2012 – The Letter of Expectation served to HVAC Technician Dereck Cole .
18
490. Following the UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi Delmendo’s
19
invitation to her whistleblowing “Russian Roulette” game and Gina Harwood’s letter prohibiting
20
Plaintiff from working and representing his coworkers, Defendant attacked another coworker of
21
Plaintiff called Dereck Cole.
22
23 491. On August 9, 2012, Plaintiff’s coworker and HVAC Shop technician
24 Dereck Cole was attacked by means of a maliciously crafted Letter of Expectation that gave
25 Plaintiff goose bumps. The letter of expectation by UC Davis Policy PPSM 62 should not even
26 be considered disciplinary action and should be served to employees as a tool for performance
27 and behavior improvement.
28

Page 165 of 166
1 491. The letter of expectation was issued to Dereck Cole by HR and was signed
2 by Dereck Cole’s shop Manager Patrick Putney. It was closely akin to a Notice of Intent to
3 terminate his employment and was issued for the purpose of terrifying him and other employees
4 and silencing them.
5
492. Dereck Cole was attacked in a similar manner and style to the way Plaintiff
6
and two other coworkers were attacked by department management and Human Resources Labor
7
Relation staff.
8
493. Shortly after Dereck Cole was served with a malicious letter of expectation,
9
a “Does Not Meet Expectation” annual employee performance review was served to Dereck as a
10
clear message that he was being singled out for termination.
11
494. Dereck Cole was Plaintiff’s coworker who, in February 2011, had
12
disclosed to Plaintiff that the UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant Operator Todd
13
Goerlich, who had committed suicide on December 22, 2010, was harassed and bullied in the
14
15 work place prior to taking his own life. In March 2011, Plaintiff brought this information to the
16 Defendant’ attention.
17 494. Todd Goerlich, who replaced Plaintiff in April 2007, was Dereck Cole’s
18 best friend since high school and he left behind a one-year-old child.
19 495. Shortly after this, Dereck Cole was attacked and turned to Plaintiff for help.
20 Plaintiff agreed to represent him in his complaint under UC Davis Policy PPSM 70, regardless of
21 the fact that Plaintiff had little time and was very busy with his own defenses and those of his two
22 coworkers against harassment and the Defendant’ retaliation. Plaintiff had to sacrifice a lot to take
23 on and handle another retaliation and harassment case against the vicious, unscrupulous, malicious,
24
and vindictive UC Davis management and administration.
25
August 16, 2012-The Extension of the Investigatory Leave
26 (August 16, 2012-September 28, 2012)
27 496. On August 16, 2012, the Defendant sent Plaintiff another extension of the
28

Page 166 of 167
1 investigatory leave. However, this time the investigatory leave letter, which was routinely signed
2 by Plaintiff’s department head Charles Witcher, stated that the investigatory leave was extended
3 for one month and half from August 16, 2016, to September 28, 2012, instead of the routine two-
4 week period. Such a long-term extension caught Plaintiff’s attention and, at first, Plaintiff
5
thought it was a misprint and should be August 28, 2012 instead of September 28, 2012.
6
497. To clarify the investigatory leave letter date issue, Plaintiff sent, on the
7
same day, an e-mail to Charles Witcher and asked him whether September 28, 2012, was the true
8
date. In response, Charles Witcher confirmed that it was the true date and cc-ed his response to
9
UC Davis HR Director Stephen Chilcott and HR Labor Relation Supervisor Brent.
10
Plaintiff thanked Charles Witcher for clarification and then forwarded the mail conversation to
11
UC Davis Medical Center CEO Ann Madden Rice, UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi
12
Delmendo, UC HR Vice President Dwain Duckett, and UC HR Director Christopher Simon, as
13
well as the UC Regents Office and UC Chancellor Office, with only one comment: “For your
14
15 review and consideration.”
16 498. This long extension of investigatory leave passed the one-year anniversary
17 of the September 1, 2011, first investigatory leave letter, which the Defendant had served
18 Plaintiff. Plaintiff became very concerned that something more drastic was going on with
19 Plaintiff’s employment due to the vicious attack against Plaintiff’s coworker Dereck Cole, as
20 well as Wendy Delmendo and Gina Harwood’s letters to Plaintiff’s coworker, Kenny Diede, and
21 the endless pseudo-investigations conducted by the assigned Defendant, two of “UC Davis Death
22 Squad’s” members, Brent Seifert and Cindy Oropeza, from the UC Davis Medical Center HR
23 Department.
24
499. Plaintiff was not mistaken that that something more drastic was going on
25
and finally uncovered it after Plaintiff, in November 2011, received a bulk e-mail
26
correspondence exchange between the perpetrators, who were plaining another provocation to
27
deliver Plaintiff to the UC Davis Medical Center # 11 to silence Plaintiff forever. Plaintiff was
28

Page 167 of 168
1 not sure and did not know why Defendant were trying to provoke and kill Plaintiff. Nothing was
2 making any sense and Plaintiff was very concerned about what he had stepped into that was
3 causing such unknown and unheard actions against employees, including the permission to use
4 deadly force to end an employee’s employment by ending the employee’s life.
5
500. On the same day, August 16, 2012, HR Director Stephen Chilcott and the
6
remaining HR Labor Relations Manager Travis Lindsey reminded Plaintiff that his coworkers’
7
cases, which Plaintiff was representing, were being placed in abeyance. Travis Lindsey
8
responded that Charles Witcher had already sent to Plaintiff an investigatory leave extension.
9
10
11 August 28, 2012–The Letter to Compliance and Privacy Program Investigator

Gina Guillaume-Holleman
12
13 501. On August 28, 2012, Plaintiff sent a letter to Compliance and Privacy
Program Investigator Gina Guillaume-Holleman about the unfair overtime distribution in the
14
HVAC shop with following information and concerns.
15
16 “I am sending you the copy of the letter of expectation issued for HVAC
17 Technician Dereck Cole by Patrick Putney on August 9, 2012. I would prefer
18 not to explicitly elaborate on the allegations in the letter”
19 However, I would appreciate if you would interview Dereck Cole, and

20 he will describe in his own words why he was victimized by Patrick
21 Putney. I spoke with Derek briefly on the phone on two occasions after
22 he received the mentioned letter of expectation on August 23, 2012.
23 According to the information he gave me, the accusations in the letter are
24
fabricated and untrue, and the letter of expectation is the retaliation for
25
complaining about the unfair and preferential overtime distribution by Patrick
26
Putney. A few months ago, and in one of my letters, I warned Charles Witcher
27
that the preferential and unfair overtime distribution in the HVAC shop is the
28

Page 168 of 169
1 fast brewing conflict among employees. Dereck Cole is the fourth person in
2 HVAC shop to be victimized by Patrick Putney with Charles Witcher's
3 blessing because of workers’ legitimate complaints.
4 If you consider the moral side of Patrick Putney and his "knowledge and
5
disregard for UC Policies, law, and Principle of Community," which he
6
is referring to in the letter of expectation, then the whole picture is quite
7
clear, and Mr. Putney should receive so many letters of expectations
8
that he could use them as wallpaper to cover the walls in his office and
9
still have some left over. I would like to point out that the letter of
10
expectation received by Dereck Cole is dated August 9, 2012 and was received
11
by Dereck Cole on August 23, 2012, one month after Dereck Cole's alleged
12
misbehavior on July 24, 25, and 26. Also, Patrick Putney described Dereck
13
Cole as a plumber. As I know, Dereck Cole is a HVAC technician and not a
14
15 plumber.”
16
502. The subject of the unfair overtime distribution was one of the HVAC shop
17
technicians, George Ursu, who is the friend the HVAC shop supervisors Dorin Daniliuc. It was
18
most likely that the excessive overtime was a fraud and George Ursu never worked most of the
19
20
overtime but got paid the same as Dorin Daniliuc, who was officially working full time, though
21 he actually employed himself in his private HVAC business and private church more than 50
22 percent during company time.
23 503. After the complaint was made by Dereck Cole, George Urusus’s overtime
24
dropped $10,000 in 2013, and after Dereck Cole, in retaliatory action against him, was removed
25
from the HVAC shop, George Urus’s overtime bounced back with $11,000 in 2014.
26
27
August 28, 2012–E-mail from UC Davis Health System HR Workers' Compensation,
28 Ergonomics, Disability Manager Hugh Parker

Page 169 of 170
1
2 504. On August 28, 2012, Plaintiff received an e-mail from HR Workers’

3 Compensation, Ergonomics, and Disability Manager Hugh Parker. Hugh Parker
4 requested that Plaintiff remove him from the e-mail list as follows:
5
Mr. Waszczuk,
6
Please remove me from your e-mail mailing list as I am not interested in
7
receiving information related to employee and labor relations issues.
8
Thank you.
9
Hugh R. Parker, Manager
10
Workers' Compensation, Ergonomics, Disability Management;
11
505. Plaintiff was surprised with such a request from Hugh Parker because
12
Plaintiff knew Hugh Parker for quite some time, and Plaintiff thought that Hugh Parker was the
13
replacement for HR Labor Relation Manger Humberto Garcia who was dismissed in June On
14
15 August 28, 2012, Plaintiff did not know who replaced Humberto Garcia, and HR Consultant
16 Gina Harwood was unresponsive when Plaintiff asked her who her manager was after she sent
17 information to Plaintiff on June 22, 2012 that Humberto Garcia and Jill Noel Vandeviver were
18 no longer employees of the UC Davis Medical Center HR Labor Relations.
19 506. On August 28, 2012, Plaintiff did know that Hugh Parker was the
20 coordinator and conductor for the assembled group of UC Davis employees, nicknamed by
21 Plaintiff in the documents as “The UC Davis Death Squad,” which on May 31, 2012, in the ill-
22 planned provocation, attempted to kill or end Plaintiff’s employment at the UC Davis Medical
23 Center Trauma Unit #11. From the Public Act Records documents, Plaintiff learned about Hugh
24
Parker’s special assignment that had coordinated an assault on Plaintiff to terminate his
25
employment through ill-minded and orchestrated provocation on May 31, 2012.
26
507. In July and August 2011, Plaintiff exchanged with Hugh Parker his
27
opinion about the UC Davis Medical Center fraudulently using the Workers Compensation
28

Page 170 of 171
1 system to remove from the premises employees complaining about management misconduct,
2 harassment, and retaliation against employees. In July 2012, Hugh Parker, most likely with his
3 superior, HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott—together with UC Davis Medical Center
4 Facilities and Construction Executive Director Mike Boyd—attempted to convince Plaintiff to
5
file a fraudulent Workers Compensation Claim. When Plaintiff refused, the Workers
6
Compensation Claim was filed on Plaintiff’s behalf anyway, but Plaintiff rejected the fraud and
7
filed a complaint with the State of California Workers Compensation Department Fraud
8
Division.
9
508. When the fraudulent Workers Compensation Claim did not work to
10
remove Plaintiff from the premises, Plaintiff was placed on bogus investigatory leave on
11
September 1, 2011 by the UC Davis administration until Plaintiff’s employment was terminated
12
on December 7, 2012 by the Letter of Termination dated December 5, 2012, which was signed
13
by the UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Manager Charles Witcher.
14
15 509. In May 2012, Plaintiff learned from the Public Record Act documents he
16 received that Hugh Parker had requested the investigation report on Plaintiff from HR
17 Investigator Danesha Nichols, which was fabricated for the purpose of the ill-planned
18 termination of Plaintiff’s employment on September 23, 2011.”
19 The information about the planned attempt to terminate Plaintiff’s employment was leaked and
20 the plan failed. HR Investigator Danesha Nichol’s report, which Hugh Parker requested from her,
21 was destroyed according to the UC Davis Public Record Office, and a copy was never provided
22 to Plaintiff.
23 Plaintiff is not certain”, but it appears that September 23, 2011 was the Defendant’s first
24
attempt to provoke the physical confrontation from Plaintiff, physically hurt him, and then
25
dismiss him with accusations that he was violent.
26
510. Plaintiff’s opinion is based on the fact that, two days prior to September
27
23, 2011, he received a letter from his Department Head Charles Witcher stating that he would
28

Page 171 of 172
1 be escorted to the HR Investigator office when he arrived at the UC Davis Medical Center that
2 day. In November 2012, Plaintiff learned from the Public Record Act documents that Hugh
3 Parker was the conductor and coordinator of the assembled team nicknamed by Plaintiff in the
4 documents as “The UC Davis Death Squad,” which attempted to kill or end Plaintiff’s
5
employment on May 31, 2012 at the UC Davis Medical Trauma Unit #11.
6
August 29, 2012-The Letter from Compliance and Privacy Program Investigator
7 Gina Guillaume-Holleman
8
511. On August 29, 2012, Plaintiff received a letter from the Compliance and
9
Privacy Program Investigator Gina Guillaume-Holleman.
10
512. By means of this letter, Plaintiff was notified that the UCD Davis Health
11
System (UCDHS) Compliance Department had completed its investigation of allegations and
12
was advising of possible policy violations regarding a PO&M manager who allegedly accepted
13
money from vendor(s) for personal use and a PO&M supervisor allegedly using a paintball gun
14
on university premises. Both matters had been investigated and no proof of violations was
15
provided by Plaintiff or obtained during the investigation.
16
17 513. Gina Guillaume-Holleman was the Defendant’ investigator who, on July
18 18, 2012, interviewed one of Plaintiff’s coworkers from the UCDHS HVAC shop, Mark Montoya.
19 During the interview, Gina Guillaume-Holleman showed Mark Montoya Plaintiff’s photo and
20 asked him whether Plaintiff was a threat to him and, thereafter, she made an attempt to solicit Mark
21 Montoya to sign an affidavit that Plaintiff was dangerous. Outraged by her demand, Mark Montoya
22 left the interview and went to the HVAC shop and mentioned what had happened to one of
23 Plaintiff’s other coworkers, who called Plaintiff and disclosed the information about Mark
24 Montoya’s interview. A few days later, Mark Montoya personally confirmed the information about
25 Gina Guillaume-Holleman’s demand.
26
514. At the end of August 2012, Plaintiff was not worried about any investigation
27
but was worried about his own status due to the almost year-and-a-half-long, ongoing, vicious,
28

Page 172 of 173
1 despicable, and unthinkable witch hunt by Defendant against Plaintiff and his coworkers. Plaintiff
2 constantly was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, having dealt with repeated violations of his
3 civil and human rights caused by the Defendant’ psychological torture and the fact that he did not
4 know what was going to happen to him from one day to the next, not to mention the fact that
5
Plaintiff was 61 years old, had open-heart surgery, and was on nine different medications.
6
515. Deeply stressed due to the Defendant’ outrageous behavior and his
7
unknown day-to-day employment status, Plaintiff asked Bank of America for permission to sell
8
his house on short sale. Plaintiff lost his house, which was supposed to be his retirement home,
9
adding more stress to his spouse and himself and worsening his mental health. Plaintiff’s lost
10
enjoyment for life.
11
12 SEPTEMBER 2012
13 September 4, 2012—Kenneth Diede’s Letter to Department Head Charles Witcher.
14
516. On September 4, 2012, Plaintiff’s coworker from the HVAC shop to
15
whom Plaintiff was providing representation under the UC Davis Policy PPSM 70, submitted a
16
17 complaint letter against HVAC shop manager and supervisor Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc.
18 These two individuals attacked Kenneth once again and converted his 2012 annual employee
19 evaluation into retaliation documents.
20 517. Since July 2011, Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc had been making
21 Kenneth Diede’s life miserable and his working conditions intolerable after Kenneth Diede
22 reported twice-convicted child pornography felon, Sean Robideaux , who was illegally
23 surfing the web on the HVAC shop commuters with Patrick Putney’s knowledge and permission.
24 Being on parole for his second child pornography strike Sean Robideaux , was not allowed to
25 touch a computer connected to the Internet per federal court order (Case: 2: 6 –cr- 00418-LKK,
26
The United States of America v. Sean Christopher Robideaux, United States District Court, Eastern
27
District of California, Indictment Violation(S) 18 U.S.C § 2252 () (4)(B) –Possession of Visual
28

Page 173 of 174
1 Depiction of Minors in Sexually Explicit Conduct ).
2 518. In the conclusion of his complaint letter to Charles Witcher, Kenneth
3 Diede wrote:
4
‘It is your responsibility to change the intolerable working condition in the
5
shop and stop Putney’s vicious and menacing attacks on me and others. I am
6
7 requesting, by this letter, that this be done immediately.’
9
September 9, 2012—Plaintiff Letter to Brent Seifert—UC Davis Medical Center HR Labor
10 Relation Supervisor and Principal Labor Relation Consultant
11
519. For over one year, the Defendant subjected Plaintiff to malicious
12
13
psychological terror, persecution, civil and human rights violations, enormous stress and worries
14 as a result of losing his home and, most likely, his employment at the age of 61 and a slim
15 chance to find any employment due to his age and health.
16 520. Due to unknown means regarding the ways in which the Defendant intended to do
17 Plaintiff further harm on September 9, 2012, Plaintiff sent a letter to UC Davis Medical Center HR
18 Labor Relation Supervisor Brent Seifert with an inquiry to update Plaintiff about his bogus
19 investigation against Plaintiff to which he was assigned in May 2012. Plaintiff wrote the following
20 in his September 9, 2012, letter: The original letter was edited by the Professional Proof Reader
21 for the purpose to avoid confusion about merit in the letter-Original upon request)
22
“Dear Mr. Seifert:
23
24 By this letter I am requesting that you provide me with information on the
25 status of the phony investigation you have been conducting since May 31,
26 2012. I am not sure if you remember that you have been assigned to investigate
27 to determine the facts surrounding the e-mails I supposedly sent that were
28

Page 174 of 175
1 believed to contain discriminatory content and to collect relevant information
2 (see attached copy of Charles Witcher’s letter dated May 31, 2012, entitled
3 “Investigatory Leave”).
4
I am more than sure that Charles Witcher’s “Investigatory Leave” letter
5
dated May 31, 2012, was a precisely crafted provocation by the human
6
7 resources department with probable help from the former FBI Agent
8 employed by the UC Office of the President Mr. John Lohse and HR
9 psychologists from the UCDMC ASAP club. Unexpectedly Mr. Lohse,
10 contacted me shortly before my suspension in May 2012.
11
When I read it on the Association of Workplace Investigators web page, I
12
choked and said to myself, “This guy with such an impressive background
13
career and connections that he is a perfect guy to frame me.”
14
15 The May 31, 2012, provocation followed Witcher’s and the HR department’s
16 cowardly and ill-crafted action that placed me on ten days’ suspension without
17 pay after Danesha Nichols’ phony investigation and my five-month
18 administrative/investigatory leave.
19
It is not coincidental that the Mr. Lohse got involved to help cover up the UC
20
21
Davis and UC Davis Medical Center management’s corrupted and unlawful
22 activities, which are happening in every pointed place and involving UC Davis
23 “chiefs and Indians” including, but not limited to, HR Chief Stephen Chilcott;
24 UC Investigators Danesha Nichols, Gina Guillaume-Holleman, and her boss,
25 Teresa Porter; internal audits chief and UC Davis police officers such as Lt.
26 James Barbour, who once gave me special advice with former U.S. President
27 Ronald Reagan regarding the U.S. Marines. UC Davis Chief Compliance
28

Page 175 of 176
1 Officer Mrs. Wendy Delmendo, who needs another Chief compliance officer
2 to replace herself, in compliance with state and federal law and UC policies is
3 leading the pack of “chiefs and Indians” corrupt circle.
4
The May 31, 2012, precise and ill-crafted provocation had one goal: Make
5
Jerry Waszczuk mad, hostile, and snap by handing him another investigatory
6
7 leave letter and launch another phony investigation against him. If he will snap
8 and get hostile, then Lt. Barbour will take care of him and he will be done.
9
What a mistake. Jerry Waszczuk never became hostile and never snapped.
10
Instead, Jerry Waszczuk used his pen and computer to defend himself and
11
others abused and harassed by vicious, vindictive, corrupt, and criminally
12
minded UCDMC chiefs.
13
14 Furthermore Plaintiff wrote in his letter to Brent Seifert :

15
Almost three and a half months have passed since we met in HR Tycon II
16
building. We did not have too much talk about anything because you were
17
completely unprepared for the meeting since you did not expect that I would
18
ever get to your office after Witcher executed the investigatory letter that
19
should have ended the issue with Jerry Waszczuk.
20
21 The meeting that you improvised was about the country of Romania,
22
Romanians, and Reggae. I have summarized the meeting in the letter I wrote to
23
you the day after we met and there is no need to elaborate further about it.
24
25 The reason why I am writing to you is to determine the status of this “after
26 unsuccessful provocation” and phony investigation for which you had been set
27 up by the corrupted upper-circle UCDMC chiefs.
28

Page 176 of 177
1 In the conclusion of my letter, I ask you again to provide me with the status
2 of this phony investigation that is not only causing me this endless “home
3 arrest” in the form of investigatory leave, but also uncertainty regarding my
4 further employment.
5
The situation is taking a toll on my wife and family. I am forced to short
6
7 sell my house and if it does not go through, then I will let the house be
8 foreclosed. The Bank of America is aware of what my employer is doing to
9 me and leaning toward a short sale instead of a foreclosure. After I
10 stabilize my situation with my house, I will make sure that my employer
11 will pay the bill for this reckless harassment and assault on me and I will
12 pay for a new house of my choice.”
13
521. The September 9, 2012, Plaintiff’s letter to Brent Seifert was the first time that
14
Plaintiff informed the Defendant of Plaintiff’s awareness that the May 31, 2012, reckless Defendant
15
action against Plaintiff was nothing but the Defendant’ malicious and ill-crafted provocation to harm
16
Plaintiff.
17
522. On September 9, 2012, Plaintiff did not have any evidence or documents proving
18
that for the May 31, 2012, provocation, the Defendant assembled a special team nicknamed in
19
Plaintiff’s document “The UC Davis Death Squad” to kill Plaintiff or end his employment in the UC
20
Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit # 11. Plaintiff based his opinion on observed event facts,
21
information from his coworkers, the Defendant’ reckless attacks in May 2012 aimed at Plaintiff and
22
his coworkers to whom Plaintiff was providing representation, and by removing Plaintiff from the
23
stress management class one day before the provocation on May 30, 2012.
24 “
September 12, 2012—The e-mail entitled “Review of the Waszczuk Investigation”
25
26 523. On September 12, 2012, at 9:36 PM, the UC Office of General Counsel
27 Senior Legal Counsel Mia Belk sent an e-mail to UC Davis Medical Center HR Labor Relation
28

Page 177 of 178
1 Manager Travis Lindsey with attachment entitled “Review of the Waszzsczuk investigation-
2 CONFIDENTIAL COMMUNICATION (misspelled Plaintiff’s name ). Mia Belk’s e-mail
3 message to Travis Lindsey was blacked out by the UC Davis Public Record Office before it was
4 delivered to Plaintiff in November 2012 .
5
524. On the same day—September 12, 2012—at 10:38 PM, HR Labor Relation
6
Manager Travis Lindsey forwarded Mia Belk’s review of the Waszczuk Investigation to UC Davis
7
Health System (UCDHS) HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott with a cc to HR Supervisor
8
Brent Seifert who, in May 2012, was assigned with HR Employment Opportunity and Diversity
9
Manager Cindi Oropeza to fabricate a false report on Plaintiff as the cause for the termination of
10
his employment if planned provocation would not work.
11
525. On September 13, 2012, at 7:50 AM, the HR executive director replied to
12
Travis Lindsey’s e-mail and instructed the HR labor relations manager to share Mia Belk’s
13
“Review of the Waszczuk Investigation” with UC Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendi
14
15 Delmendo, UC Davis Health System Chief Counsel Anna Orlowski and UC Davis Health System
16 Chief Compliance Officer Teresa Porter and to let them know that the HR department was
17 proceeding with Waszczuk’s (Plaintiff’s) termination as planned.
18 526. Furthermore, HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott instructed Travis
19 Lindsey to make suggested revisions and finalize the documents and letter of intent to terminate
20 the issue as soon as possible. In addition to the letter of intent to terminate, HR Executive Director
21 Stephen Chilcott instructed Travis Lindsey to discuss the assignments of the Skelly officer with
22 Plaintiff’s superior, UC Davis Medical Center Executive Director Mike Boyd.
23 527 The UCDHS HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott’s confidential
24
communication response is interesting because it shows that HR Equal Employment Opportunity
25
and Diversity Manager Cindi Oropeza was not copied on Stephen Chilcott’s e-mail. Cindi Oropeza
26
was assigned with Brent Seifert to fabricate a bogus report as the cause for Plaintiff’s termination
27
of employment.
28

Page 178 of 179
1 528. As Plaintiff knows, Cindi Oropeza was an old friend of prior HR Labor
2 Relations Manager Humberto Garcia, who attempted to informally resolve an ongoing dispute
3 with Plaintiff informally in February 2012; thereafter, Garcia was replaced by Travis Lindsey. It
4 makes Plaintiff wonder whether Cindi Oropeza was on same list as Humberto Garcia and opposed
5
Plaintiff’s termination, but was forced as well—under the threat of termination—to craft a false
6
and slanderous report as a cause to terminate Plaintiff’s employment.
7
529. The other interesting fact in HR executive director’s reply to Travis
8
Lindsey is that the UC Office of the President (UCOP), Office of the General Counsel made the
9
decision to terminate Plaintiff’s employment, contrary to UCOP HR Director Christopher
10
Simon’s response to Plaintiff’s September 2011 inquiry for intervention in the case.
11
On September 25, 2011, Plaintiff sent the inquiry for help and to intervene in the case
12
to the UC HR Senior Vice Chancellor Dwain Duckett’s .
13
530. On October 26, 2011, The UCOP HR Director Christophe Simon
14
15 responded to Plaintiff September 2011 inquiry on UC HR Senior Vice President Duckett’s
16 behalf, stating that:
17
“This is in response to your faxes dated 9/25/2011 and 9/30/2011 to Vice
18
President Duckett in which you raised several concerns about management
19
actions at UC Davis Medical Center. I understand that these issues are
20
currently being investigated by the UC Davis Compliance Officer, Wendi
21
Delmendo.The Office of the President provides oversight to the ten Campus
22
University of California system, while the Chancellor of each campus has
23
responsibility for the organization and operation of the campus. With the
24
investigation by Ms. Delmendo currently in progress, it would be
25
26 inappropriate for the Office of the President to intervene in this
27 matter.We have asked Ms. Delmendo to keep us apprised of the progress of
28 this investigation. We are confident that your serious concerns are being

Page 179 of 180
1 appropriately addressed at this time.”
2
531. One year later, UC Davis Chief Counsel Wendy Delmendo again assigned
3
two HR investigators, Cindi Oropeza and Brent Seifert, to fabricate another report for a cause to
4
terminate Plaintiff’s employment. However, it is not UC Davis or UC Davis Medical Center
5
administration that decided to terminate Plaintiff’s employment; rather, the UC Office of the
6
President and UC Office of the General Counsel decided Plaintiff ‘s fate in contrary to UCOP
7
8
Director Christopher Simon letter.
9 532. UC Senior Counsel Mia Belk disappeared from the University of California
10 landscape two months after she issued her confidential review of Waszczuk’s investigation. Mia
11 Belk was not the only individual who disappeared from the University of California landscape
12 after involvement in Plaintiff’s dispute with the university.

13 533. The question is whether the 2009 Settlement–Agreement with the Regents
14 of the University of California signed by Plaintiff was a part of the reason why nobody at UC
15 Davis wanted to make the final decision to terminate Plaintiff’s employment and passed it to the
16 UC Office of the President and UC General Counsel Office or it was a different more serious
17 reason.
18
19 September 13, 2012—The UC Davis Death Squad Preparation for Plaintiff’s Final Departure
from the University of California. (By documents received from UC Davis Public Record Act
20 Office)
21
534. Following the September 12, 2012, University of California Office of the
22
General Counsel’s decision to terminate Plaintiff’s employment the UCDHS HR Executive
23
Director Stephen Chilcott sent on September 13, 2012, the information about Plaintiff’s planned
24
employment termination to the UC Davis police and assembled a group of UC Davis
25
representatives (nicknamed in Plaintiff’s documents as the UC Davis Death Squad, due to an ill-
26
crafted provocation by the Defendant on May 31, 2012, to kill Plaintiff or end his employment in
27
the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit.
28

1 535. From the bulk of documents Plaintiff received from the UC Davis Public
2 Record Act office in November 2012, Plaintiff learned, as follows, that
3 361. On September 13, 2012, UC Davis police sent an e-mail to the UC Davis Death Squad
4 coordinator, HR Workers Compensation Manager Hugh Parker, and HR Labor Relations Manager
5
Travis Lindsey with a cc to UC Davis Police Chief secretary Willette Roy stating,
6
“Hugh, I have talked with Chief Carmichael, and we should get the violence
7 in the workplace group together sometime to discuss a threat assessment on
Jerry (Plaintiff). Travis, is that acceptable to you? Jim.
8
Travis Lindsey responded that he agreed.
9 536. Furthermore, on the same day UC Davis Police Lt. James Barbour wrote
to Hugh Parker:
10
Chief Carmichael said there is a psychologist on retainer that helps with this? (Dr. White?)
11
(with question mark at the end of the sentence).
12
13
536. On September 14, 2012, UC Davis Death Squad Coordinator Hugh
14 Parker’s secretary, Sonia Guerrero-Rodriguez, sent an e-mail invitation for a meeting to other
15 UC Davis Death Squad members with the following subject in the e-mail: “Threat Assessment -
16 J. Waszczuk.” The message read, “Please provide me with the best time and date, from the
17 options below, to discuss the item in subject. I’d like to send out a meeting invitation as soon as
18 possible.” The message was ended with Muriel Strode’s quote “Do not follow where the path
19 may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
20 537. Sonia Guerrero-Rodriguez sent her message to the following member
21 members of the UC Davis Death Squad: Brent Seifert, the UCDMC Labor Relations Supervisor;
22 UC Davis Police Lt. James Barbour; UCDMC HR Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity
23
Manager Cindi Oropeza;UC Davis Health System Counsel David Levine; UC Davis Risk
24
Management Department employee Debra Schmidt; UC Davis Medical Center Emergency
25
Preparedness Coordinator Glynis Foulk; Manager of Workers’ Compensation, Ergonomics, and
26
Disability Hugh Parker, who wanted to see Plaintiff in July 2011 on workers compensation leave
27
and, in May and September 2012, wanted to see Plaintiff disabled in UC Davis Medical Center
28

Page 181 of 182

2 Trauma Nursing Units (TNU) # 11,
3 “Trauma unit is a 36-bed acute care specialty and telemetry unit that
4 primarily provides inpatient care and treatment for patients who have
5
sustained blunt or penetrating injury, as well as those who may require
6
surgical intervention. This includes care of the patient with suspected or
7
confirmed intra-abdominal injuries, complex wound management,
8
orthopedic fractures, head/neck/face injuries, brain trauma, chest trauma,
9
and pulmonary injury.”
10
538. Additional recipients of the email included Marjorie Trogdon-Shock, an
11
HR licensed clinical social worker who, together with Hugh Parker on May 30, 2012, removed
12
Plaintiff from the stress management class she hosted; Carol Kirshnit, Ph.D. who, like Marjorie
13
Trogdon-Shock L.C.S.W, was a member of the UCDMC HR Academic and Staff Assistance
14
15 Program; Neil Speth, D.O., the medical director of UCDMC HR Employee Health Services; and
16 Travis Lindsay, the new UCDMC HR labor relation manager who replaced MikeGarcia in May
17 2012.
18 539. The proposed dates for the UC Davis Death Squad’s meeting were
19 September 18, 2012, from 10 to 11 AM; September 20, 2012, from 1 to 2 PM, and September 21,
20 2012, from 9 to 10 AM.
21 540. UC Davis Police Lt. James Barbour responded that he was available for the
22 meeting on Tuesday, September 18, 2012. Plaintiff does not know when the meeting took place
23 because 21 pages of e-mail chat between UC Davis Death Squad Members that Plaintiff received
24
from the UC Davis Public Record Act Office were blacked out in same manner as the e-mail chat
25
of this group for the May 31, 2012, provocation to send Plaintiff to the UC Davis Medical Trauma
26
Unit.
27
541. The presence and participation in this group including the UC Davis
28

Page 182 of 183
1 Medical Center Trauma Unit manager, police, psychologists, legal counsel, medical director of
2 HR health services and others is speaking for itself that this group is closely akin to a terrorist
3 organization that operated with full knowledge under the umbrella of the Regents of the University
4 of California to provoke, kill, and cover up the cause of employee death. It is more likely than
5
not that similar terrorist groups operate on other UC campuses and are sponsored and
6
employed by the Regents of the University of California.
7
8 September 23, 2012—Letter to Charles Witcher
9 542. Plaintiff, who was subjected to psychological terror by the Defendant, was
10 put under extreme stress after being forced again to leave the premises for the month-and-a-half-
11 long investigatory leave, which was issued and served to Plaintiff on August 16, 2012.
12 543. On September 23, 2012, Plaintiff wrote an open letter to his
13 Department Head, UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Manager Charles
14 Witcher, entitled
15 A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE LATEST COMPLAINTS UNDER THE PPSM 70 AGAINST
16
STEVE McGRATH AND PATRICK PUTNEY. (OPEN LETTER).
17
Plaintiff wrote the letter just two days before Witcher was ordered by HR Executive Director
18
Stephen Chilcott to sign the Notice to Intent to Dismiss (Plaintiff) for Serious Misconduct.
19
544. Aside from Plaintiff’s latest complaints about coworkers, made under UC Davis
20
Policy Complaint Resolution Policy PPSM70, the, Plaintiff elaborated about the previous
21
Department Head, Tony Moddessette, who was forced to leave in 2006 and was replaced by
22
Charles Witcher. This happened shortly before Plaintiff and his coworker William Buckans were
23
subject to the vicious attack and persecution orchestrated by the Defendant, which resulted in
24
Plaintiff’s suspension in March 2007 and his abrupt removal from the UC Davis Medical Center
25
26 Cogeneration Power Plant (“Central Plant”), where Plaintiff had been employed since June 1999.
27 Plaintiff’s suspension and reassignment in March 2007 was affirmed by Charles Witcher, who
28 was then the interim manager of the Plant Operation and Maintenance Department. While

Page 183 of 184
1 Witcher’s predecessor Tony Moddessette had an MBA degree and was not friends with anybody,
2 Charles Witcher was an electrician with only a high school diploma, but he was friends with one
3 very important person, UC Davis Medical Center Director Robert Taylor.
4 545. Plaintiff, in his letter to Charles Witcher, stated:
5
(This letter was edited by a professional proofreader to avoid confusion and
6
misunderstandings.)
7
Dear Charles:
8
INTRODUCTION
9
Besides the formal complaints under PPSM 70, which already have
10
been filed with HR against Steve McGrath and Patrick Putney by
11
various employees, I would like to address some of my concerns in
12
relation to the previously mentioned complaints.
13
I remember when Tony Moddessette was the manager of the Plant Operation
14
15 and Maintenance Department. At the time, there were problems within the
16 Central Plant in relation to shift differential pay and other labor/management
17 issues.
18 Moddessette was “rough and tough” and sometimes was unpleasant, but he did
19 not ever hesitate to come to the Central Plant, sit at the center of the control
20 room, and have an open discussion about the problems within in the plant.
21 Tony Moddessette did not hesitate to tell me, “Jerry, I don’t give a f...k what
22 you say,” but he would listen and fix the problems.
23 Tony Moddessette had no problem reversing the Plant Manager’s unjustified
24
decision to issue a written warning to one of the Central Plant operators. He
25
also did not hesitate to tell Jeff Lancaster that he was not hired to wash his
26
personal cars on company time.
27
Tony Moddessette did not hesitate to remove Tom Kavanaugh from his Central
28

Page 184 of 185
1 Plant manager position because of poor behavior toward his subordinates and
2 safety problems in the Central Plant. An indisputable fact is that Moddessette
3 never persecuted workers like Charles Witcher did.
4 I am not sure what caused Moddessette’s fall in the UC Davis Medical Center.
5
I can only guess that his departure from UCDMC was partly due to a colleague
6
from the Navy whom he hired as Central Plant Manager. Dan James basically
7
was overpowered by the Central Plant folks from the Jackson Area, who gave
8
him a false and unusual sense of security.
9
Unlike Tony Moddessette, Charles Witcher never advised Patrick Putney that
10
employees are obligated to pay their parking fees if they are parking on the
11
company premises.
12
Unlike Tony Moddessette, Charles Witcher never told Patrick Putney that the
13
HVAC and Plumbing Shop was meant to provide support and services for the
14
15 hospital/campus and was not a place to illegally park his personal vehicle,
16 chase roosters, or sell ducks and other livestock in the shop.
17 Unlike Tony Moddessette, Charles Witcher never told HVAC Shop Supervisor
18 Dorin Daniliuc that he had to work 8 hours every day, that company time
19 should not be used to run a private business, or that he should not bring his
20 personal auto mechanics in and use the UCDMC shop for his private HVAC
21 business.
22 Unlike Tony Moddessette, Charles Witcher immediately began to torment
23 others after taking over the department from Tony Moddessette in 2006. Six
24
years later, Witcher’s persecution continues.
25
The last six years speak for themselves. Those who have engaged in this
26
persecution must love to watch other people suffer and live in misery.
27
THE COMPLAINTS
28

Page 185 of 186
1 What I am most concerned about concerning the latest complaints filed under
2 PPSM 70 is the William Buckans complaint, which will open old wounds
3 related to Steve McGrath and former Plant Manager Dan James, who passed
4 away not so long ago, may he rest in peace.
5
William Buckan’s last complaints against Steve McGrath and Mike Lewis will
6
force me to bring Dan James’ name into this whole mess. At the relevant time
7
in 2006, Witcher did not have a clue as to what was going on in the Central
8
Plant and without any reason, Witcher orchestrated your harassment of
9
William Buckans and me. It is unfortunate that Dan James was the plant
10
manager at that time, and he got involved in the whole mess.
11
I may have had some objections to Dan James holding the position of plant
12
manager, but I would hate to bring his name back into this ongoing mess
13
because Steve McGrath cannot control his buddies. Steve McGrath is
14
15 retaliating against William for no particular reason.
16 Dan James and Tony Moddessette were Vietnam War veterans. I have a lot of
17 respect for their sacrifices and their choice to risk their lives for the greatest
18 country on Earth.
19 Apparently Steve McGrath and Mike Lewis did not think or did not care that
20 harassing, bullying, and constantly retaliating against William for years in an
21 effort to make him quit his job would bring Dan James back into the mess that
22 they have created and participated since 2006.
23 You probably don’t know that William Buckans and Rick Tunello had a very
24
good relationship with Dan James because of their common life experiences.
25
However Dan James was quickly overpowered by the Jackson clique, and he
26
turned on Rick and William because the Jackson clique hated them. You
27
probably don’t know that William Buckans had a very good relationship with
28

Page 186 of 187
1 Dan James because both served their country. Dan James served in the US
2 Navy from 1967 to 1991; he operated the ship’s power plant and a LM2500 jet
3 engine like we have in the Central Plant.
4 Unlike the clique that Steve McGrath brought from his previous plant, William
5
Buckans did not have to cheat to pass his UCDMC test and get hired as an
6
operator. He passed his test because he had a lot of previous knowledge and
7
experience.
8
In addition to Dan James’ issues, I am very hesitant to bring Steve McGrath’s
9
personal life issues into William’s defense. I really hate to do it. I would prefer
10
to see Steve stop his retaliatory habits and leave William alone.
11
It is up to you and Steve McGrath to stop further action under PPSM 70.
12
Together, you can correct the problems and you will not have to reintroduce
13
the name of Dan James, who should be resting quietly in peace.
14
15 I would like to mention that, not so long ago, Hugh Parker from HR sent me an
16 email and wrote that he is not interested in labor relations issues. Mr. Parker
17 was an HR labor relations consultant, and one of the complaints I am handling
18 is strictly related to him. He will soon be dealing again with the labor relations
19 issues related to the peaceful Workers’ Compensation Office.

20 The latest complaints under PPSM 70 were filed with HR by Dereck Cole and
21 Kenny Diede against Patrick Putney (Letters of Expectations and Evaluation).
22 I will not elaborate about the merit of the mentioned complaints because they
23 are specifically outlined in the related documents.
24
At this point, I would like to only mention again the overtime distribution in
25
the HVAC shop, which was the subject of Patrick Putney’s retaliation against
26
Dereck Cole (who complained about it).
27
I will officially ask Gina Guillaume-Holleman from the Compliance & Privacy
28

Page 187 of 188
1 Investigations Department to investigate these issues and to make a
2 determination about whether there re discrepancies in overtime distribution.
3 The allegations were brought against George Ursu, who is not a plumber or an
4 HVAC technician in the HVAC shop but has nevertheless apparently been
5
given a lot of overtime that belonged to the plumbers and HVAC technicians.
6
I saw George Ursu’s overtime income earned for 2010 and 2011 on the official
7
UC webpage. It is no wonder that people are concerned when his overtime is
8
10 times higher than other workers’.
9
I can’t look myself at George Ursu’s work orders to determine whether his
10
earned overtime is legitimate or not. I would like to remind you that I was
11
denied access to the work order system last year. I am far from accusing
12
George of any wrongdoing because of his overtime earnings, but they must be
13
investigated to clear the air and to prevent any more hostility or retaliation
14
15 related to this subject. I have nothing against George as a person or a coworker
16 regardless of his statements in the Danesha Nichols report. I am just
17 representing my coworkers in their complaints and trying to do my job as best
18 as I can with the limited resources I have after being banned and isolated from
19 the HVAC shop for over a year.

Regards,

CC: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
22
September 25, 2012—Notice of Intent to Dismiss for Serious Misconduct
23
24
546. As Plaintiff anticipated that something would happen to him during the
25
one-and-a-half month investigatory leave and the lack of response from HR Labor Relations
26
Supervisor Brent Seifert’s investigation, on September 26, 2012, Plaintiff received by overnight
27
mail the Notice of Intent to Dismiss for Serious Misconduct dated September 25, 2012. It was
28

Page 188 of 189
1 routinely similar to other documents that Plaintiff received in the past by the UCDMC Plant
2 Operation and Maintenance Department Manager Charles Witcher.
3 The notice stated that:
4 “Re: Notice Intent to Dismiss for Serious Misconduct
5
“The purpose of this letter is to inform you that I intend to dismiss you
6
7 from your position as a Sr. Development Engineer in Plant Operations and
8 Maintenance. The reason for this action is your failure to adhere to UC Davis
9 Policy and Procedure 380-15, Staff Complaints of Discrimination, UCDHS
10 1616, Violence and Hate Incidents in the Workplace and the Principles of
11 Community.
12
On or about April 27, 2012, you sent an e-mail to Danesha Nichols,
13
UCDHS Investigations Coordinator stating your disagreement with an
14
investigation report she had issued dated February 9, 2012. The report found
15
that it was more likely than not that you had violated UCDHS Policy 1616
16
(Violence and Hate Incidents in the Workplace) ("1616"), UC Davis Policy
17
18 and Procedure Manual, Section 380-15 (Staff Complaints of Discrimination)
19 ("38015"), and engaged in insubordinate behavior in relation to the
20 investigation. Based on these findings I issued you a letter on or around April
21 13, 2012, informing you that I intended to suspend you without pay for ten
22 days. Attached to your April 27, 2012 e-mail was a video slideshow entitled
23 "Welcome to Romania". Based on the subject matter and content of the
24 communication, an investigation was requested to determine if the
25 communication violated University policies and procedures. During this time
26 you were placed on investigatory leave-.
27
Brent Seifert, Employee and Labor Relations Supervisor and Cindy Oropeza,
28

Page 189 of 190
1 EEO Manager conducted the investigation. During the investigation they
2 learned of additional e-mails you had sent to co-workers and other UC
3 employees that were alleged to be discriminatory and disruptive. As a result,
4 these communications were included in the investigation.
5
While the investigation was pending you sent additional e-mails to co-workers
6
7 and other UC employees that contained inappropriate and discriminatory
8 language (see attached e-mails). The following are excerpts from these e-mail
9 communications:
10
May 10, 2012 - "Somebody will give this Pollack bad evaluation and fire him
11
or will send Gestapo on his Ass"
12
13 June 6, 2012 - "because you will go straight to Hell for what you have done to
14 me in the last 12 months together with psychopath Putney , Witcher and HR

15 "Devil Advocates." and "GO TO HELL ALL OF YOU AND BURN THERE
16 UNTIL YOU EVAPORATE IN SHAME FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
17 TO ME AND OTHERS
18
June 22, 2012 — PDF attachment to email titled "20120613 to Gina
19
Gaullaume-Holleman" - "I don 't know why but the Patrick Putney's working
20
21
environment culture in the HVAC shop is closely akin to the culture of Eastern
22 Europe Gypsy Village from the Borat's movie or Flea market in
23 Galt."September 10, 2012 — "..Dorin Danuliuc brought the Gypsy's culture
24 from Romania, cheating and stealing from his employer..."
25
Mr. Seifert and Ms. Oropeza concluded their investigation and issued a report
26
dated September 20, 2012, which is attached to this Notice. The investigation
27
report substantiated that you sent disruptive and intimidating e-mail
28

Page 190 of 191
1 communications regarding Mr. Daniliuc's national origin in violation of 1616.
2 In addition, it was substantiated that you sent harassing communications
3 regarding Mr. Daniliuc that were in violation of 380-15.
4
As discussed above, on or around April 13, 2012, prior to your e-mail to Ms.
5
Nichols, you were issued a Letter of Intent to Suspend for ten (10) days for
6
7 violation of 1616, 380-15, and insubordinate conduct. The letter outlined my
8 expectations that you abide by all UC policies and procedures, show respect
9 and remain professional at all times in the workplace, and follow the direct
10 orders given to you by a supervisor. After the Skelly process was completed
11 you were issued a Letter of Suspension on May 11, 2012 outlining the
12 expectations noted above. Additionally, you were provided the pertinent text
13 from UCDHS policy 1616 and UC Davis P&P Chapter 380-15 as part of the
14 investigation report issued by Ms. Nichols, and attached to the Letter of Intent
15 to Suspend.
16
Despite my repeated efforts to address your inappropriate and discriminatory
17
18 communications, you continue to send e-mails to numerous UC Staff
19 containing offensive and discriminatory language directed at several protected
20 classifications. Your failure to follow direct orders and the expectations set for
21 you is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Your actions imply that you
22 believe you are above the rules and I cannot subject staff and your co-workers
23 to your continued discriminatory comments. Your blatant disregard for the
24 policies and procedures of this University, combined with your failure to
25 follow directives has left me with no alternative but to dismiss you from
26 University employment.You have the right to respond to this notice of intent to
27
dismiss for Serious Misconduct either orally or in writing. Your response must
28

Page 191 of 192
1 be received by the Skelly Reviewer, Allen Tollefson, Assistant Vice
2 Chancellor, and Facilities Management. Mr. Tolleffson can be reached at the
3 following: UC Davis, Facilities Services Building, Davis, CA 95616, 530-752-
4 5418 within eight (8) calendar days from the date of issuance of this letter. You
5
will remain on paid administrative leave until a final determination is made.”
6
547. Apparently, after Plaintiff sent the letter on September 9, 2012, to HR Labor
7
8
Relation Supervisor Brent Seifert and let him know that Plaintiff was aware that May 31, 2012,
9 was the date of the maliciously and ill-crafted provocation by the Defendant, somebody had the
10 idea to lure Plaintiff to the premises and hand Plaintiff the Notice of Intent to Dismiss with such
11 outrageous and sickening accusations in an attempt to provoke Plaintiff and expose him to the
12 UC Davis Death Squad’s attack.

13 September 26, 2012 – UC Davis Police Department Poster
“ PERSON NOT AUTHORIZED ON PROPERTY”
14
15
548. Instead of luring Plaintiff to the premises, the UC Davis Death Squad decided that
16
the UC Davis Police would issue a poster bearing Plaintiff’s photo and the verbiage “PERSON
17
NOT AUTHORIZED ON PROPERTY,” which was similar to the “FBI’s Most Wanted”
18
signage.
19
20 549. The UC Davis Police Poster stated:
21
“Jaroslaw Waszczuk is currently on administrative leave from
22
employment with the UC Davis Med Center. Mr. Waszczuk is not
23
authorized to be on UC Davis property without a legal reason or a medical
24
emergency.
25
26 Mr. Waszczuk is described as an older white male with brown and gray
27 hair. He is approximately 5’8” and 190 lb.

28

Page 192 of 193
1 If Mr. Waszczuk is seen trespassing on University of California Davis
2 properties, please contact the Davis Police Department immediately at
3 916-734-1555.”
4
5
550. The UC Davis Police poster that said “PERSON NOT AUTHORIZED
6
ON PROPERTY” and included Plaintiff’s photo and description was distributed around the UC
7
Davis Medical Center Campus and most likely was sent to managers and UC Davis employees
8
by electronic mail. UC Davis Police did not inform Plaintiff that he was not authorized on UC
9
Davis premises, and Plaintiff did not know what UC Davis Police would do if Plaintiff
10
11 unexpectedly showed up at the UC Davis Medical Center or the UC Davis Campus.
12 551. Plaintiff spent over one year on investigatory leave, under which he was
13 prohibited from being on the UC Davis premises, and Plaintiff never intended to go uninvited to
14 UC Davis Medical Center when he was on investigatory leave. Plaintiff did not understand why
15 the Defendant issued such a humiliating and disparaging Plaintiff poster.

16 552. In addition, the Defendant did not inform Plaintiff that the poster was
17 issued and distributed. The question is this: What were the Defendant’ intentions?
18 553. After the Defendant’ ill-minded but unsuccessful provocation to kill
19 Plaintiff or end his employment at the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit, Plaintiff
20
experienced terrifying thoughts that never left his mind. Plaintiff is still terrified to think what
21
would have happened to him on May 31, 2012, if the criminally minded Defendant’ provocation
22
had been successful or what would happen if Plaintiff showed up unexpectedly at UC Davis
23
Medical Center for medical treatment, not knowing that a poster was distributed around campus
24
and that UC Police had been instructed to attack Plaintiff upon his arrival.
25
554. Plaintiff was informed about the Defendant’ “PERSON NOT
26
AUTHORIZED ON PROPERTY” poster by a coworker who took a picture of the poster with
27
his cellular phone and sent the photo to Plaintiff.
28

Page 193 of 194
1 555. Plaintiff was outraged when he was informed about the poster. Even a
2 felon who was twice convicted for child pornography and who was illegally accessing UC
3 Davis’s Medical Center HVAC shop computer was not awarded with such recognition.
4 Plaintiff, on the other hand, was a University of California employee for 13 years and had an
5
outstanding employee record.
6
556. The child porn felon motto “Silence or I Kill You” on the social media
7
Facebook page closely resembled the Defendant’s behavior after the which assembled a special
8
group of employees—nicknamed by Plaintiff the “UC Davis Death Squad”—with the purpose of
9
silencing Plaintiff forever in an unsuccessful and criminally minded provocation on May 31,
10
2012.
11
557. Plaintiff responded to the Defendant’ disparaging, humiliating and
12
terrifying behavior with a seven-page open letter dated September 30, 2012, which Plaintiff
13
addressed to UC Davis Police Chief Matt Carmichael. Plaintiff also sent an inquiry to the UC
14
15 Davis Public Record Act office for documents related to another of the Defendant’ acts of
16 psychological terror, which Plaintiff had been subjected to for over one year.
17
18 September 26, 2012 - The War Like Hysteria and Propaganda
19
20 558. The Defendant war-like hysteria and propaganda did not end with
21 placing the “Persona Non Grata” poster complete with Plaintiff’s photo and description around
22 UC Davis Medical Center.
23 559. On September 26, 2012, the UC Davis Health System HR Executive
24
Director Stephen Chilcott, who directly communicated the operation to the UC Office of the
25
President, sent an e-mail entitled “Confidential – Jerry Waszczuk (Plaintiff)” to the HR Labor
26
Relations Department Manager Travis Lindsey to ask the UC Davis Police department to offer to
27
speak to any of the supervisors or employees of the Plant Operation and Maintenance
28

Page 194 of 195
1 Department Head Charles Witcher about safety at work and the relevant agencies that should be
2 contacted according to the location they live in, as well as guidance in terms of safety
3 precautions, etc.
4 560. Furthermore, Travis Lindsey was instructed by Stephen Chilcott to ask
5
for police patrols to start immediately and to include the Ticon 3 Human Resources
6
Building. He was also instructed to ask UC Davis Police to continue patrols through 10/31 at
7
which time the patrols would be reassessed.
8
Also, Travis Lindsey was instructed by Chilcott to ask UC Davis Police what resources the
9
UC Davis Police Department might need and could be assigned by Chilcott, the Skelly
10
reviewer, and the Assistant Vice Chancellor Allen Tollefson from the UC Davis Campus.
11
561. UC Davis Police Department Lt. James Barbour responded to Travis
12
Lindsey’s request and said he had assigned Police Officer Thomas McGee to the UC Davis
13
Assistant Vice Chancellor Allen Tollefson’s Office.
14
15 562. UC Davis Police Lt. James Barbour was reassigned from the UC Davis
16 Campus to the UC Davis Medical Center, which represented an enormous demotion and
17 involved a decrease to his salary, after the November 18, 2011, pepper spray attack against
18 protesting students on the UC Davis Campus. Documents show that Lt. James Barbour got
19 sucked into the action against Plaintiff by the “UC Davis Death Squad,” most likely not knowing
20 what the case was about. Apparently, he was promised that his salary would be restored to its
21 normal level. By reading the Public Record Acts documents, one can see that Lt Barbour was
22 dedicated to attacking Plaintiff in 2012 by any means.
23 September 26, 2012 – The Confidential Investigation Report
24
563. On September 26, 2012, Plaintiff received the Confidential Investigation
25
26 Report from the Defendant; it was attached to a Notice of Intent to Dismiss for Serious
27 Misconduct.
28

Page 195 of 196
1 564. The Confidential Investigation Report Regarding Allegations
2 Concerning Jaroslaw Waszczuk (Plaintiff) Plant Operations and Maintenance–HVAC
3 Shop was prepared by HR EEO Manager Cindi Oropeza and HR Labor Relations
4 Supervisor Brent Seifert.
5
565. The unfounded accusations and allegations in the report were fabricated based on
6
the previous reports and were basically copied and pasted from the March 2007Bettye Andreos
7
8
Report and December 2011 and February 2012 Danesha Nichol’s reports. The only difference
9 was that Romanians were used in the reports instead of Jews to make Plaintiff look like a KKK
10 member or Nazi concentration guard.
11 566. Plaintiff, outraged by the Defendant’ sickening, fabricated accusation in
12 the report, responded to Cindi Oropeza and Brent Seifert with an open letter dated September 28,
13 2012.
14 567. In addition to the open letter response, Plaintiff sent an inquiry to the UC
15 Davis Public Record Act office for all documents related to the Defendant’ Notice of Intent to
16 Terminate Plaintiff.
17 OCTOBER 2012
18
19
October 1, 2012—Open Letter to the UC Davis Police Chief
20
21
568. Plaintiff was outraged by the UC Davis Police Department’s humiliating and
22
disparaging “PERSON NOT AUTHORIZED ON THE PROPERTY” poster, which was
23
issued and distributed around UC Davis campus on September 26, 2012.
24
569. On October 1, 2012, Plaintiff wrote an open letter to new UC Davis Police Chief
25
Matt Carmichael, who replaced Annette Spicuzza and to Chancellor Katehi, who ordered the
26
firing of his colleague, Lt. John Pike, in August 2012.
27
28 570. In September 2011, Plaintiff asked a UC Davis Police captain Joyce Souza for

Page 196 of 197
1 help due to the Defendant’ despicable, unfounded and fabricated allegations against Plaintiff,
2 which were distributed around by Plaintiff’s department head and by HR staff. Since then,
3 Plaintiff has sent information from the UC Davis Medical Center to UC Davis Police Captain
4 Souza (along with Lt. John Pike and UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza). All three lost
5
their jobs with the UC Davis Police Department in 2012, as did Plaintiff, UC Davis HR
6
Labor Relations Manager Humberto Garcia and his assistant Jill Noel Vandeviver, who
7
attempted to resolve the dispute with Plaintiff informally.
8
571. Plaintiff wrote the following open letter entitled “OPEN LETTER TO
9
UC DAVIS POLICE CHIEF MATT CARMICHAEL IN RE: UC DAVIS POLICE
10
WARRANT AGAINST WASZCZUK”
11
Dear UC Davis Police Chief:
12
To this open letter, I have attached for your review the copies of my previous
13
correspondence with the UC Davis Police Department. I have also attached a
14
15 few more current photos of myself. My photo on the UC Davis Police Warrant
16 is outdated and was taken probably 10 years ago, prior to my 2006 open heart
17 surgery and left eye surgery. HR has a newer photo, which was taken when I
18 changed positions in February 2009 from central plant operator to assistant
19 development engineer.
20 I have no doubt that the UC Davis Police bulletin with my outdated photo was
21 issued to humiliate me, as it sounds like an arrest warrant. This is an
22 outrageous abuse of authority by the UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation
23 and Maintenance Department (UCDMC PO&M), the HR Department and the
24
UC Davis Police Department. Such management actions were taken to cause
25
Waszczuk severe emotional distress, and they were done with a willful and
26
conscious disregard of both the law and UC policies.
27
The conduct of UCDMC management and the UC Davis Police Department
28

Page 197 of 198
1 caused Waszczuk to suffer severe emotional distress, humiliation, anguish,
2 stress and depression. The conduct of UCDMC management and the UC Davis
3 Police Department also caused other incidental and consequential damages and
4 expenses.
5
The conduct shown by UCDMC management and the UC Police Department is
6
outrageous and was done in a malicious, fraudulent and oppressive manner to
7
injure Waszczuk. This spite was caused by management’s failure to adequately
8
represent Waszczuk, and it was done in conscious disregard of Waszczuk’s
9
employee and civil rights.”
10
Jaroslaw Waszczuk
11
572. The Defendant’ distribution of the poster with Plaintiff’s photo on and
12
their choice to make Plaintiff look like a most-wanted terrorist amounts to malicious and
13
despicable defamation of Plaintiff’s character and integrity.
14
15 573. The Defendant have not mentioned in any previous document this
16 “PERSON NOT AUTHORIZED ON THE PROPERTY” poster, which defaced and
17 humiliated Plaintiff.
18 October 1, 2012—Extension of Time to File Response with Skelly Reviewer
19 574. On October 1, 2012, Plaintiff received an extension to file a

20 response/appeal with the assigned Skelly reviewer, UC Davis Associate Vice Chancellor Allen
21 Tollefson. The extension was in regard to the Notice of Intent to Dismiss for Serious
22 Misconduct, which Plaintiff received from the Defendant on September 25, 2012. In an e-mail
23 dated October 1, 2012, Charles Witcher wrote:
24
Good afternoon Mr. Waszczuk,
25
This e-mail is to inform you that you have received an Extension of Time to
26
File Response. The University will place the action in abeyance pending the
27
response on your request for information. You will be provided (8) calendar
28

Page 198 of 199
1 days to respond to the Letter of Intend to Dismiss once the University responds
2 to your information request. If you have any questions please contact me.
3 Sincerely,
4 Charles Witcher, Manager
5
Plant Operations & Maintenance
6
575. Plaintiff briefly responded to the Charles Witcher e-mail as shown below.
7
Note: to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, Plaintiff’s response to Charles Witcher
8
was corrected by a professional proofreader.
9
Thank you, Mr. Witcher, and I appreciate your prompt response
10
regardless of our differences.
11
I would also like to mention that the Notice of Intent to Dismiss and the
12
insulting investigatory report have caused me to experience enormous stress
13
and a nervous breakdown.
14
15 I had to see my physician to get the extra medicine I needed to maintain my
16 stability. This is an additional reason to provide me with the time extension for
17 filing my response with the Skelly reviewer.
18 I believe that you are aware that I am already on nine different prescription
19 medicines.
20 I am assuming that you have read my last open letter to Mrs. Oropeza and that
21 you or Brent Seifert will question Dorin Daniliuc about his (and others’) lies,
22 which were inserted into the report.
23
24
Sincerely,
25
Jerry “
26
27
576. In addition to Plaintiff’s response to Charles Witcher’s extension, on October 3,
28

Page 199 of 200
1 Plaintiff sent another letter to the authors of the fabricated investigatory report, which was used
2 as cause to terminate Plaintiff’s employment. Plaintiff read the Cindi Oropeza and Brent Seifert
3 Investigation and Confidential Report, dated September 20, 2012, and Plaintiff still had no clue
4 why he was being kept off of campus on investigatory leave for over one year. Even if the
5
unfounded allegations in the report were true, this action would still not be legal. By UC policy,
6
such actions are not qualified as causes for employee termination when the employment is not at
7
will.
8
October 4, 2012—Letter from the UCDHS HR Workers’ Compensation Office
9
577. Following the October 1, 2012, letter that Plaintiff sent to UC Davis Police Chief
10
Matt Carmichael, the UC Davis HDHS HR Workers’ Compensation Office sent Plaintiff the
11
following letter with the attached workers’ compensation claim.
12
13 October 1, 2012
14
RE: Workers’ Compensation Stress/Psychiatric related claim
15
Dear Mr. Waszczuk:
16
17 In an e-mail we received dated 10/01/2012 you indicate that you have suffered
18 “severe emotional distress” from your employment at the UC Davis Health
19
System. As such, if you wish to pursue a psychiatric injury claim, related
20
to your employment at UC Davis Health System, please fill out the
21
enclosed DWC-1 Form and return to our office at:
22
23 UC Davis Health System
24
Workers’ Compensation Dept.
25
26
27 Sincerely,
28 Michael Tyler

Page 200 of 201
1 579. There would be nothing unusual about this letter if UC Davis Health System
2 Workers Compensation Office Manager Hugh Parker was not also one of the many people who
3 were causing Plaintiff severe emotional pain, depression, humiliation and psychological terror
4 for over one year.
5
580. In July and August 2011, on the order of HR Executive Director Stephen Chilcott,
6
Hugh Parker and UC Davis Medical Center Facility Director Mike Boyd attempted to remove
7
Plaintiff from the premises by offering to file a fraudulent workers’ compensation claim. When
8
Plaintiff rejected and refused such resolution, someone from the HR Workers’ Compensation
9
Office filed a fraudulent workers’ compensation claim on Plaintiff’s behalf. Plaintiff reported the false claim
10
to the State of California Department of Insurance Fraud Division.
11
581. Hugh Parker participated in an unsuccessful attempt to terminate
12
Plaintiff’s employment on September 23, 2011. Based on the record, Plaintiff believes that this
13
was the first attempt to terminate Plaintiff coordinated by Hugh Parker.
14
15 582. On May 30, 2012, Hugh Parker removed Plaintiff from stress management
16 class instead of encouraging Plaintiff to attend such classes, despite knowing what Plaintiff was
17 going through in his dispute with his employer
18 583. On May 30, 2012, Plaintiff did not know that Hugh Parker was a
19 coordinator for the Defendant’ specially assembled group of UC Davis employees, which
20 Plaintiff nicknamed the “UC Davis Death Squad” in the officially generated document
21 584. On May 31, 2012, and in September 2012, Hugh Parker (as conductor of
22 the aforementioned group) coordinated a malicious but unsuccessful provocation involving UC
23 Davis Chief of Police Matt Carmichael and Lt. James Barbour to ambush and kill Plaintiff or
24
otherwise end his employment at the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit #11.
25
585. Plaintiff rejected the Defendant’ offer to file a false workers’
26
compensation claim. Apparently the Defendant attempted to escape enormous legal liability
27
using frequent workers’ compensation claims to further attack and distract Plaintiff from the real
28

Page 201 of 202
1 cause of Plaintiff’s employment termination. After one-and-a-half years of psychological terror,
2 Plaintiff and his family life had been turned upside-down.
3
4 October 22, 2012—HR Consultant Gina Harwood’s Letter to Plaintiff.

5
6
586. One month after the Notice of Intent to Terminate was issued, on October 22, 2012,
7
Plaintiff received an interesting letter from HR Consultant Gina Harwood, who replaced Jill Noel
8
Vandviver on June 22, 2012. Gina Harwood’s letter stated:
9
Re: Service as PPSM Complaint Representative
10
Dear Mr. Waszczuk:
11 This letter is to inform you that due to the completion of the investigation, you
12 are no longer on investigatory leave. Your leave status has changed to
13 administrative leave with pay while the personnel action is pending.
14 Due to the change in your status, you will be permitted to serve as the
15 representative in complaint meetings for Kenneth Diede, William Buckans
16 and Dereck Cole. The following complaints will be removed from abeyance
17 and a Complaint Resolution Officer will be appointed:

William Buckans — Complaint #: 03-PPS-011-11/12, 03-PPS-024-11/12, 03-
18
PPS-023/11/12 Kenneth Diede — Complaint #: 03-PPS-025-11/12, 03-PPS-
19
017-11/12
20
In addition, I am in receipt of your appeal to Step 2 for Dereck Cole’s
21
Complaint, 03-PPS-003-12/13 and a Complaint Resolution Officer will be
22
assigned.
23 As the representative on file for the above referenced complaints, you will
24 receive copies of the appointment letters for the Complaint Resolution Officer.
25 Please let me know if you have any questions.
26 Sincerely,
27 Gina Harwood, SPHR “
28

Page 202 of 203
1 587. This first time UCDHS HR Labor Relations stated that Plaintiff
2 was permitted to serve as the representative for other University of California
3 employees, his status changed from the investigatory leave to administrative leave. The
4 Defendant placed Plaintiff on investigatory leave several times over one-and-a-half
5
years, and Plaintiff fount it outrageous that he could be prohibited from entering the
6
university’s property for meeting with hearing officer. Every University of California
7
employee has the right to the representation of his or her choice. Even organized labor
8
employees represented by unions have the right to be represented by a nonunion
9
representative. Plaintiff knows this because he was helping union employees in their
10
complaints against UC Davis Medical Center’s management.
11
588. Gina Harwood’s letter did not specify how Plaintiff was supposed to represent his
12
three coworkers at hearings at the UC Davis Medical Center or the UC Davis campus. Plaintiff
13
was scheduled to meet with assigned a HR Compliance Resolution Officer (CRO) after the UC
14
15 Davis Police Department issued and distributed the poster with Plaintiff’s photo and
16 description, which prohibited Plaintiff from being on the premises.
17 589. In a letter to Gina Harwood dated October 17, 2012, Plaintiff asked Gina
18 Harwood specific questions that she, as the Defendant’ representative, failed to answer in her
19 response dated November 22, 2012,.

20 590. Plaintiff’s questions to Gina Harwood were:
21
Do the employees I represent have the right to have me as their representative
22
after I am no longer employed by UC?
23
24 If the answer is “yes,” the next question is whether the University of

25 California will let me enter UCDMC premises for appeals hearings, and if
26 that is not the case, whether UCDMC will move the hearings outside of
27 UCDMC premises.
28

Page 203 of 204
1 It is my understanding that according to PPSM 70, grievant have the right to
2 the representation of their choice.
3 It is also my understanding that UCDMC Management, in cooperation with the
4 UC Davis Police Department, issued a warrant that prohibits my presence on
5
UC Davis’s property, if not all of the University of California’s premises. The
6
warrant does not state whether I will be arrested or shot if I enter the UC
7
premises uninvited or if I walk on Stockton Boulevard, next to the HR
8
Building. I am just curious.
9
I and the represented employees would like to know as soon as possible how
10
UCDMC HR Labor Relations will handle the problem that their representation
11
has been jeopardized by the warrant issued against Waszczuk.”
12
591. Obviously, Gina Harwood was advised by the Defendant’ attorney not to
13
elaborate on her response about the humiliating poster of Plaintiff issued by UC Davis Police on
14
15 September 26, 2012. Gina Harwood knew that Plaintiff had, in February 2009, signed the
16 Settlement-Agreement with the Regents of the University of California. Gina Harwood and other
17 perpetrators knew that the UC Davis Police poster was an indefensible breach of the Settlement-
18 Agreement signed by the Defendant and Plaintiff. The Defendant’ poster went beyond
19 disparaging Plaintiff. It was an act of malice beyond of human decency aimed at Plaintiff, and it
20 alone can be the subject of litigation against the Defendant.
21 October 30, 2012-The UC Davis Medical Center HVAC Shop Supervisors Patrick Putney and
Dorin Daniluc’s Attempt to Provoke Dereck Cole for Physical Confrontation
22
23
592. Just two days after Plaintiff wrote a letter to Director Boyd about UC Davis
24
management’s despicable retaliation and vendetta against HVAC shop technician Dereck Cole
25
26 on October 30, 2012, two of Dereck Cole’s supervisors, Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc,
27 approached him in the hospital cafeteria during his break and verbally assaulted him in front of a
28 surveillance camera with clear intention to provoke him into physical confrontation and end

Page 204 of 205
1 Dereck’s employment.
2 593. Dereck Cole did not fall into Putney and Daniliuc’s or their superiors’ plan to be
3 eliminated through provocation and walked away from them. In tears, he went straight to the
4 office of HR Labor Relation Manager Travis Lindsey.
5
594. Dereck described his meeting with Travis Lindsey in an aftermath e-mail he sent
6
to Lindsey on October 30, 2012.
7
Travis,
8
I wanted to thank you for the time you gave me to present the harassment and
9
vindictive actions once again inflicted by Patrick Putney. I’m a little
10
embarrassed and usually don’t tear up at work but this behavior from
11
Patrick has caused a lot of anxiety and fear for my job as well as my
12
health. It has broken me down to the point where I feel threatened and
13
attacked since the appeal on my Letter of Expectation.
14
15 Thanks again for your support and consideration,
16 Respectfully,
17 Dereck
18 595. After meeting with Lindsey, Dereck Cole was removed from the HVAC shop and
19 reassigned to the preventive maintenance shop. The surveillance footage from the hospital
20 cafeteria should be checked, and appropriate disciplinary action should be taken against Patrick
21 Putney and Dorin Daniliuc. Dereck Cole was a victim of two UC Davis medical supervisors
22 supported by Department Head Charles Witcher, HR Labor Relations staff, corrupt UC Davis
23 Chief of Police Matt Carmichael, and his lieutenant James Barbour. If Dereck Cole had called
24
UC Davis police right after incident in the cafeteria, then he would most likely be accused and
25
investigated instead of Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc.
26
597. Plaintiff represented Dereck Cole in his complaints against these two supervisors
27
in a retaliation complaint pursuant to UC Davis Policy PPSM 70. Right after the confrontation in
28

Page 205 of 206
1 cafeteria occurred, Plaintiff requested from the UC Davis Public Record Act office .
2 a copy of the surveillance tape from the cafeteria in relation to this attack against Dereck
3 Cole.
4 598. The UC Davis Public Record Act office informed Plaintiff on two occasions that
5
the surveillance tape from UC Davis Medical Center Hospital Cafeteria for October 30, 2012
6
was destroyed and unavailable.
7
8
NOVEMBER 2012
9
November 2, 2012 – Public Record Act Request
10
11
599. On November 2, 2012, Plaintiff received a response from the UC Davis Public
12
Record Act (PRA) office to his request for PRA documents related to the Defendant’s Notice
13
Intent to Dismiss for Serious Misconduct dated September 25, 2012.
14
15 600. Plaintiff briefly reviewed the received PRA documents and several pages of e-
16 mail correspondence dated June 1, 2012, which were sent by the UC Davis Health System
17 (UCDHS) HR Workers Compensation, Ergonomic and Disability Manager Hugh Parker to
18 David Levine, Debra Schmidt, Marjorie Trogodon Shock, Neil Speth, Carol Kirshnit, Karen
19 Kouretas, Cindy Oropeza, Glynis Foulk, James Barbour, and Travis Lindsay.
20 601. On the first page of the e-mail with subject “Jaroslaw ‘Jerry’ Waszczuk –PO&M
21 employee,” Hugh Parker wrote:
22
23 “Mr. Waszczuk returned to work yesterday from his suspension and was
placed back on investigatory leave the same day. At issue are writings sent by
24 Mr. Waszczuk while on leave. Mr. Waszczuk did not display any anger when
told he was being place on investigatory leave.”
25
26 602. After Plaintiff read Hugh Parker’s e-mail message, checked Hugh Parker’s
27 recipients, and found out who these people were, Plaintiff got goosebumps realizing that this e-
28

Page 206 of 207
1 mail was about the May 11, 2012 Letter of Suspension, which was maliciously crafted to lure
2 Plaintiff onto the premises.
3 603. When Plaintiff found out that Karen Kouretas, the UC Davis Medical Center
4 Trauma Unit # 11 manager, was listed on the e-mail, Plaintiff got very nervous and uncertain
5
about who was behind his employment termination.
6
7
604. Plaintiff combined Karen Kouretas’s name with Neil Speth, James
8
Barbour, Glynis Foulk, and David Levine with what happened to Plaintiff on May 30, 2012 and
9
what Plaintiff wrote in his letter dated September 9, 2012 to Brent Seifert and the UC Davis
10
Police. On September 26, 2012, a defaming “Persona Non Grata” poster with Plaintiff’s photo
11
and description surfaced. Plaintiff had no any doubt that May 31, 2012 was a maliciously crafted
12
provocation to kill Plaintiff or end his employment in UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit
13
No. # 11.
14
15 605. Plaintiff already covered this subject in the Statements of Facts, June
16 2012 chapter.
17
18 November 5, 2012 – Letter to Charles Witcher
19
20 606. On November 5, 2012, Plaintiff sent an inquiry to UCDHS PO&M

21 Department Manager Charles Witcher and requested that the Defendant reimburse Plaintiff for a
22 parking permit and two computer hard drives. Charles Witcher was the person who signed the
23 September 25, 2012 Notice Intent to Terminate Plaintiff.
24 (Note: to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, Plaintiff’s response to Charles Witcher
was corrected by a professional proofreader.)
25
Re: PARKING FEE AND REIBURSEMENT OF TWO COMPUTER HARD DRIVES
26
27 Dear Mr. Witcher:
28

Page 207 of 208
1 By this letter, I am respectfully requesting that my employer, UC Davis
2 Medical Center, reimburse me the parking fee deducted from my paychecks
3 every two weeks for the period from August 2, 2012 to the current payday
4 November 7, 2012.
5
As we both know, I have not parked my car on company premises since
6
7 August 2, 2011, with exceptions of the few hours to interview with ‘Danesha
8 Nichols in December 2011, a half-hour during a meeting with Humberto
9 Garcia in February 2012, and maybe 2 hours during the interview with Brent
10 Seifert on May 31, 2012. Total reimbursement should equal approx., $768.00;
11 see attached pay stubs.

12
Besides the above, I am still waiting for the two computer hard drives (HDs),
13
which should be returned to me. One HD was 1T and the other was 500 Gig.
14
Both HDs were installed with Putney’s permission on the company computers
15
as a backup for servers and other things. Gina Harwood wrote to me stating the
16
both computers were taken away from my office, and she asked me whether I
17
18 have receipts for the disks. I don’t, but I need my HDs back or need to be
19 reimbursed approx.$150.00.
20 Sincerely,
22
607. The Defendant never reimbursed Plaintiff for the parking permit or the
23
two hard drives.

7 Squad’”
8
Dear Vice Chancellor Tollefson:
9
10 Besides the yet-to-be-scheduled meeting with you, I am sending you a short

11 brief as a helpful tool so you and I may have a productive discussion, if any.In
12
addition to the mentioned brief, I would like to let you know that I have
13
become very hesitant to go to the Davis campus or UCDMC campus for any
14
meetings after I read the documents that I received under the Public Record
15
Act provision. For the above reason, I am asking you for permission to bring
16
one or two of my trusted coworkers to the meeting.
17
18 It clearly appears from the bulk of the e-mail correspondence that certain
19 individuals from the UCDMC HR department, led by HR Executive Director

20 Stephen Chilcott, new Labor Relation Manager Travis Lindsay, Cindy
21 Oropeza, and others, were planning to carry out their malicious and well-
22 crafted, evil conspiracy plot to provoke me and kill or send me to the UCDMC
23
Trauma Unit with severe blunt or penetrating injury on May 31, 2012. From
24
now on, I will call them the “HR Death Squad.” The explanation for the name
25
given to these individuals is located in the brief.
26
27 The assigned executor to carry out the plot to send me to my death or send me
28 to the UCDMC trauma unit to meet Karen Kouretas was the UC Police Lt.

Page 209 of 210
1 James Barbour, who apparently loves “War-Games” and bloodshed. I am
2 assuming that this did not happen without the permission of the new UCDPD
3 Chief Matt Carmichael and the top guns in the UC Davis and UCDMC
4 campus. It is a very chilling and disturbing matter to deal with, but what other
5
choices do we have not to deal with the “HR Death Squad”? I am still waiting
6
for more documents under the Public Record Act provision to have more
7
insight into the UCDMC “HR Death Squad” activities against victimized
8
workers and some supervisors.
9
10 I am hoping that eventually the FBI and district attorney will step in and break
11 this vicious and unscrupulous “HR Death Squad” into pieces.

12
Besides my own safety, I am very concerned about my coworkers’ safety, to
13
whom I am providing representations with their complaints. Patrick Putney’s
14
latest vicious attack on Dereck Cole was very disturbing and scary.
15
Sincerely,
16
Jaroslaw Waszczuk

18 609. The letter to Allen Tollefson was the first time Plaintiff nicknamed the assembled
19 Defendant group “HR Death Squad,” which in criminally minded, unsuccessful provocation
20 attempted to end Plaintiff’s employment at UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit # 11. Later,
21 Plaintiff changed the nickname from “HR Death Squad” to the “UC Davis Death Squad” due to
22 the involvement of the UC Davis police in the ill-planned assaults on Plaintiff.
23 610. On November 13, 2012, Skelly Reviewer Allen Tollefson responded to Plaintiff’s
24
letter and scheduled the meeting with Plaintiff on November 16, 2012 on the UC Davis campus.
25
611. On November 16, 2012, Plaintiff attended the meeting with assigned Skelly
26
Reviewer and UC Associate Vice Chancellor Allen Tollefson to discuss Plaintiff’s unwarranted
27
and without-valid-cause employment termination.
28

Page 210 of 211
1 612. Plaintiff arrived at the meeting with his trusted coworker from the UCDHS
2 HVAC shop, Kenneth Diede, as a witness. Plaintiff did not notice any UC Davis police presence
3 near his and his coworker’s office, where the meeting took place.
4 613. The meeting with Skelly Reviewer Allen Tollefson was cordial and pleasant.
5
Plaintiff focused on the issues he outlined in the brief, which Plaintiff sent to Tollefson on
6
November 12, 2012. Plaintiff especially focused on his employee performance reviews
7
(evaluations) for years 2010–2011 and 2011–2012, which are mandated by the UC Davis Policy
8
PPSM 23 and without providing Plaintiff evaluations for these years, the termination of
9
employment shall should be considered void, not to mention the February 2009 Settlement-
10
Agreement Plaintiff signed with the regents of the University of California. The meeting lasted
11
approximately one or one and half hour. Plaintiff did not have high expectations regarding the
12
outcome of the meeting, but Plaintiff followed the UC policies and held onto a little hope that the
13
UC Davis Assistant Vice Chancellor would change Plaintiff’s fate and give Plaintiff his job
14
15 back. Plaintiff was unaware on November 16, 2012 and a long time after the meeting that
16 Plaintiff’s fate was already decided a long time before the meeting with Allen Tollefson’ by the
17 Regents of the University of California the UC Office of the President,(UCOP) and the UC
18 Office of the General Counsel for a completely different reason. Plaintiff thought he was being
19 hunted down like an animal or subhuman by the UC Davis administration’s designated thugs.
20 614. On November 18, 2012, Plaintiff sent to Skelly Reviewer Allen Tollefson the
21 meeting summary letter entitled “Our Meeting on November 16, 2012. -The Notice Intent to
22 Dismiss Dated September 25, 2012 BY “The UC Davis Medical Center “’HR Death
23 Squad.’”
24 (Note: to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, Plaintiff’s letter to Allen
Tollefson was corrected by a professional proofreader.)
25
Re: Our Meeting on November 16, 2012.
26
The Notice of Intent to Dismiss dated September 25, 2012.
27
Dear Vice Chancellor Tollefson:
28

Page 211 of 212
1 Thank you for the opportunity and time to meet with you to discuss my
2 employment termination.
3 For the record, the meeting took place on the UC Davis Campus, at the
4 location of 1050 Extension Center Drive, Davis, CA 95616 on November 16,
5
2012, at 9:00 A.M.
6
Besides your and my presence at the meeting, Mr. Kenneth Diede attended
7
the meeting as my trusted coworker and witness to the meeting. Mr.
8
Kenneth Diede did not participate in our approximately one-hour
9
discussion. The purpose of this letter is not to summarize our one-hour
10
meeting but to capture what was not discussed at the meeting. In my brief
11
for the oral response that I sent to your office on November 13, 2012, I
12
have skipped almost one year of facts from the “battlefield” between me
13
and the UCDMC “HR Death Squad.” I assumed that you would be strictly
14
15 focused on Charles Witcher’s notice of intent to dismiss dated September
16 25, 2012. The notice not say too much besides some quotes taken out of
17 context from my letters that I wrote due to the vicious and unscrupulous
18 war against me, which has lasted over one year and is still going.
19
The very powerful forces from the UCDMC Human Resources Department
20
and the UC Davis campus, as well as the involvement of the director of the
21
investigation sent from the UC Office of the President against me in May
22
2012, make me believe that the reason or reasons to harm me were not
23
my reporting of Patrick Putney’s chickens, roosters, goats, sheep and
24
other animals for sale in the UCDMC HVAC shop. I do not believe
25
26 that it was due to me reporting Patrick Putney’s habit to cheat his
27 employer out of the parking fee for four years by hiding his car inside
28 the shop. I don’t believe reporting Dorin Daniluc’s private and

Page 212 of 213
1 notorious activities while on company time was the reason to attack me
2 with such brutal impact. Even writing about Dorin Daniluc’s provided
3 services for Director Robert Taylor at his private residence would not
4 justify such an assault.
5
I was thinking that, most likely, the reasons “to kill” could be due to the
6
7 writing in the letter dated March 13, 2011, referring to the central plant
8 operator Todd Georlich’s tragic suicide that took place in December 2010
9 as well as the secret and fraudulent 12% pay raise the central plant
10 operators received in December 2010. But I am not so sure.
11
The other reason that I was thinking it could be is the child pornography
12
issue reported in August 2011 by my coworker Kenny Diede in his
13
2010/2011 employee evaluation complaint under the PPSM 70. The
14
complaint is still unresolved. Kenny Diede became a subject of retaliation
15
by Patrick Putney with Charles Witcher’s support and approval. I am
16
representing Kenny with his complaints under PPSM70. It is very bizarre
17
18 that the child pornography issue was completely ignored by Danesha
19 Nichols in her investigation report, but the graphic video clip about the
20 devastation of Romania by the communist regime that I sent to her became
21 a pretext to use as a “secret weapon” to attack me and terminate my
22 employment regardless of the fact that the mentioned video is widely

23 accessible to anyone on the Web. Another bizarre fact is Mr. Hugh
24 Parker’s involvement with the “HR Death Squad” operation that took place
25 against me on May 30 and May 31, 2012. Mr. Hugh Parker is not a
26 UCDMC HR labor relations team member. Mr. Hugh Parker is the
27
UCDMC HR workers’ compensation department manager. On May 30,
28

Page 213 of 214
1 2012, Mr. Hugh Parker, together with Mrs. Marjorie Trogdon Shock, the
2 licensed clinical social worker from the HR Academic and Stuff Assistance
3 Program, was hosting the “Class on Stress Management.”
4
The “Class on Stress Management” enrollment document dated May 23, 2012,
5
stated that “Participants will learn how to identify their anger triggers,
6
7 including thoughts. The class will describe effective responses to anger,
8 including coping thoughts and relaxation techniques.
9
Although stress and anger affect everyone, anger can be problematic if people
10
use it to gain control and express it unprofessionally.”
11
12 I received information about the class on May 23, 2012, from my former
13 central plant coworker William Buckans, who on the same day received a letter
14 of expectation (subject of unresolved complaint under PPSM 70), and the

15 information about the “Class on Stress Management” was attached.
16
I decided to enroll in the class, and I encouraged Kenny Diede and William
17
Buckans to do the same.
18
19 I showed up to class on time with my two colleagues. Before the class had
20 begun, Hugh Parker, with the help of Licensed Clinical Social Worker Mrs.
21 Marjorie Trogdon Shock, kicked me out of the class.
22
It was quite a surprise to me because I was constantly being accused that I
23
24
am angry, hostile etc. Such a class would be appropriate for a person who
25 is accused of not controlling his anger.
26
If I knew that Mr. Hugh Parker, along with Mrs. Trogdon Shock and the
27
other members of the “HR Death Squad,” had planned to send Jerry to the
28

Page 214 of 215
1 UCDMC trauma unit or to funeral home the next day, May 31, 2012, then I
2 would have never enrolled myself in the “Class on Stress Management” and
3 would have encouraged my coworkers not to either. It sounds like a Russian
4 roulette game to me.
5
Two days later, on June 1, 2012, Mr. Hugh Parker wrote in his e-mail
6
7 addressed to the other UCDMC “Death Squad” members:
8
“Mr. Waszczuk returned to work yesterday from his suspension and was
9 placed back on investigatory leave the same day. At issue are writings sent by
Mr. Waszczuk while on leave. Mr. Waszczuk did not display any anger when
10 told he was being place on investigatory leave.
11
Hugh R. Parker, Manager”
12
13
Could you imagine what would or could have happened if Mr. Parker,
14
along with Mrs. Shock, would not have “shocked” me and did not kick me
15
16
out from the “Class on Stress Management” on May 30, 2012?
17 I imagined that after attending the “Class on Stress Management,” I would

18
kiss and hug Mr. Charles Witcher and probably add him to my Christmas list
19
to send him presents every year as appreciation for again placing me on
20
investigatory leave, contrary to what I was writing about in my letters. I would
21
probably send flowers to Danesha Nichols, Wendy Delmendo, Gina
22
Harwood, Teresa Porter, and Gina Holleman and apologize to them
23
because I did not see how hard they were working to cover up the scum,
24
conspiracy, retaliation, fraud, and revenge of HR and the Plant Operation
25
and Maintenance managers’ outrageously vindictive behavior toward
26
workers.

7 Mr. Waszczuk,
Please remove me from your e-mail mailing list as I am not interested in
8

9 Thank you.
Hugh R. Parker, Manager’Workers’ Compensation, Ergonomics, Disability
10 Management
As we spoke on Friday, I am sending to you the letter entitled I FEEL LIKE
11
A HUNTED JEW DURING THE HOLOCAUST that I wrote on October 9,
12 2011, which I addressed to the honorable members of the UC Davis Ethics and
Compliance Risk Committee, California State Assembly members, and the
13 regents of the University of California, plus the other relevant documents.
14
Prior to the above letter, I sent the e-mail to Danesha Nichols with the
15
request to interview all of my coworkers from the HVAC shop in regard to
16
the allegations against me and my allegations against Dorin Daniluc and
17
Patrick Putney.
18
19 The interviews did not happen until October 10, 2012 after I sent the letter
20 to the members of UC Davis Ethics and Compliance Risk Committee.
21
In addition to, I am forwarding to you an e-mail which I sent l to UC Davis
22
23 Police Captain Joyce Souza in spite of the transmission of Danesha
24 Nichols’ false accusations against me, which alleged that I am violent and
25 make discriminatory comments. I thought that somebody had filed some
26 kind of phony report to the police and that Danesha Nichols was in
27 possession of the document and making noise in her irresponsible

28

Page 216 of 217
1 correspondence. I think that the correspondence with Captain Souza is
2 a very important piece of evidence that proves that everything against
3 me has been fabricated along with the (still unknown to me) reason to
4 fire me from the job without cause.
5
In conclusion, I still don’t know why and am very concerned about the real
6
7 reason for UCDMC “Death Squad” to physically harm or kill me on May
8 31, 2012. I am wondering what these conspiring individuals had in their
9 minds by believing that they could set me up and make me seem violent
10 and dangerous. Hypothetically, I understood their plan: After Mr. Witcher
11 handed me another investigatory-leave letter just after suspension from

12 work, I would attack Mr. Witcher—who was not warned about their plan—
13 would become a casualty of the “HR Death Squad” war, and I would be
14 finished. This is very sick and unbelievable.
15
At this point, I am not sure whether we are dealing with a child-porn ring
16
within UCDMC, workers-compensation fraud, or massive short-term disability
17
18 fraud.
19 It seems to me that Mr. Chilcott was trying to train his crew on how to deal
20
with “rebellious” workers, knowing that I would not give up so quickly, and he
21
was trying to find out how long I would resist the attacks and his blitzkrieg.
22
23 Maybe it was a bit of everything and at some point got so out of control and
24 had so many people involved for no reason; now, somebody must pay the cost
25 of the whole operation.

26
I will cease any further action and correspondence until I receive the final
27
employment-termination notice. I have no time to deal with this since I have to
28

Page 217 of 218
1 find a place to live due to my house was sold on short sale due to my uncertain
2 employment situation I have to prepare myself for several hearings in regard to
3 the PPSM 70 appeals due at the end of this month and the beginning of the
4 next month.
5 However, if you have any questions, need any additional documents or
6 information, or you would like to meet with me again, I am always ready to
7 cooperate in this final solution.

9 Jaroslaw Waszczuk
10 Enclosed:
11 Eduardo Espinosa’s letter dated October 09, 2009 to UC Vice

14
letters,Hugh Parker’s letter with invitation to file the fraudulent worker’s
15
compensation claim, which Waszczuk refused to do;letter dated July 22,
16
2011 and addressed to UC Davis Chief Counsel Steven Drown in regard
17
to the 2009 settlement-agreement violation;E-mail dated October 03,
18
2011 to Danesha Nichols with request to interview all workers from the
19
HVAC shop plus Manuel Saldana, Dorin Daniluc’s previous supervisor,
20
who had similar problems with Dorin Daniliuc’s habit of using company
21
time for his private business. Danesha Nichols did not interview Manual
22
23 Saldana and acquitted Dorin Daniliuc from all allegations regardless of
24 Daniliuc’s obvious, everyday misconduct,. Letter dated October 9, 2011
25 to UC Davis Ethics and Compliance Risk Committee, UC Regents and
26 State of California Assembly members; Letter dated October 06, 2011 to
27 UC Davis Police Captain Joyce Souza with request to check whether

28

Page 218 of 219
1 anybody filed a complaint or reported Waszczuk to the UCDPD due to
2 constant, unfounded accusations against him transmitted by the HR
3 attorneys and other individuals; Letter dated November 9, 2012 to
4 Charles Witcher. The letter clarifies the Waszczuk “Gestapo on my ass”
5
statement in outgoing correspondence; Letter dated November 23, 2011
6
to Gina Harwood. In the letter, Waszczuk has declined Gina Harwood’s
7
offer to file a request for extension of his medical leave under
8
Supplemental FMLA University Policy 2.210;
9
Pay stub with period end date 12/24/2011. The pay stub shows that
10
position title has been changed without Waszczuk’s knowledge from
11
assistant development engineer to programmer I. No clue why; the Class
12
on Stress Management invitation dated May 23, 2012;The e-mail from
13
Hugh Parker dated August 28, 2012 requesting his removal from the e-
14
15 mail mailing list; Letter dated September 9, 2012 to Brent Seifert with
16 request for investigation status update. In that letter, on the pages 2 and
17 3, Waszczuk has perfectly described ill-crafted provocation against him
18 on May 31, 2012, not knowing anything about the involvement of so
19 many people from the HR department, UCDPD police, trauma unit, and
20 UCDMC counsel until Waszczuk received documents under the Public
21 Record Act Provision in October 2012; Letter dated September 23, 2012
22 (Two days before the notice intent to terminate issued by Charles
23 Witcher on September 25, 2012 followed by the “Most Unwanted” Lt.
24

claim. I don’t file fraudulent claims.

1 615. In the post-meeting letter to Allen Tollefson, Plaintiff clearly pointed
2 out that there must be a different reason for why Plaintiff was being pursued with such
3 force and was nearly killed in the criminally minded provocation. However, Plaintiff
4 still had no clue what it was about. Plaintiff survived the Soviet Union and Communist
5
prisons for his political activities and struggled against the Communist regime in Soviet-
6
dominated Poland; yet, what he was experiencing at the University of California went
7
beyond Plaintiff’s imagination.
8
616. Besides Plaintiff’s meeting with the Skelly reviewer, on November 14, 2012,
9
Plaintiff sent a short e-mail to former UCDHS HR Labor Relation Consultant Jill Noel
10
Vandeviver, who was dismissed on June 22, 2012 together with her boss and manager of
11
HR Labor Relation Humberto Garcia. Jill Noel Vandeviver and Humberto Garcia were
12
handling Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s coworkers’ complaints to whom Plaintiff was providing
13
representation. Humberto Garcia was replaced by Travis Lindsey and Jill Noel Vandeviver
14
15 was replaced by Gina Harwood. Plaintiff was searching for clue as to what triggered the
16 Defendant’ brutal and merciless action against Plaintiff. In his letter to Jill Noel Vandeviver,
17 Plaintiff wrote:

Good Morning Ms. Vandeviver:
22
I am writing a few words to you because it appears that my employer, UC
23
Davis Medical Center made an attempt to frame me, provoke me, and kill me
24
25 or send me to the trauma unit in bad shape in May of 2012. Somehow, it did
26 not work out for the UCDMC “HR Death Squad.” I perfectly described the
27 whole provocation in my letter addressed to Brent Seifert on September 10,
28 2012, not knowing anything about it until I got a PRA request almost one

Page 220 of 221
1 month after I wrote the mentioned letter.
2 You were employed in May 2012 and you were in charge of the cases related
3 to my coworker and me. At some point, I thought that you would replace Mik
4 Garcia as a manager of Labor Relation because of your experience and
5
education. I was very surprised that you left after Gina Harwood sent me a
6
“Happy Announcement” that you and Mike Garcia were gone. (Attached). I
7
am not expecting you to give me any feedback about what happened or what
8
why the “HR Death Squad” wanted to send me to the trauma unit or the
9
cemetery. I am just giving you this information because I did not see any
10
documents where you or Mike Garcia participated in the plot to kill me or
11
send me to the trauma unit badly injured.

deny the information contained in the September 25, 2012 Notice of Intent to
25
Dismiss and in the documentation attached to the notice. He stated that his
26
27
actions were taken out of context and that he has the right to voice his opinion
28 about the wrong doings of the Department. Mr. Waszczuk has a very negative

Page 223 of 224
1 opinion about the department and the management team's behavior, along with
2 the UCDI-IS Human Resources department. While some of the circumstances
3 Mr. Waszczuk presented are concerning, this does not excuse his aggressive
4 conduct towards individuals in the Department. Ills failure to follow direct
5
instructions and ignore University policy is not excused by his perceived
6
retaliation. After meeting with him and my careful review of the documents
7
provided to me, I find that there are reasonable grounds to believe Mr.
8
Waszczuk engaged in the conduct as charged and that the proposed action
9
should be upheld.
10 Sincerely,
Assistant Vice Chancellor

620. Regardless of Tollefson’s motivation and order he got from the
13
Defenadats , he grossly violated the Skelly Law, depriving Plaintiff the opportunity to find any
14
employment.
15
16
“In Skelly v. State Personnel Board (1975) 15 Cal. 3d 194, the California
17 Supreme Court ruled that:
18
‘as part of constitutionally guaranteed due process, public employees are
19 entitled to certain procedural safeguards before discipline, which is
sufficiently severe to constitute a deprivation of a liberty or property right is
20 imposed on them. The constitutionally protected liberty interests requiring
Skelly protections arise whenever the allegations against an employee are
21 sufficiently onerous to seriously impact the employee’s ability to find future
work in his/her chosen career.’”
22
23
621. Skelly Reviewer Allan Tollefson held a meeting with UCDHS HR Labor
24
Relation Manager Travis Lindsey on September 24, 2012 and was coached on what decision
25
was expected from him in Plaintiff’s case.
26
622. Just before Plaintiff’s loss of employment, Plaintiff lost his house on a short sale
27
28
and rented a house so as not to deal with a mortgage company during his unemployment.

2
3 623. On December 18, 2012, Plaintiff sent an e-mail inquiry to USDHS HR Labor
4 Relation Consultant Gina Harwood for clearance to enter the HR building on December 20,
5
2012 to take care of his remaining benefits upon termination of employment:
6
Subject: Meeting with Janette Manuel in the Ticon III Bldg. on 12/20/2012 at 9:00
7
Hi Gina:
8
Would you please provide me clearance with UCDPD to go to Ticon III
9
Bldg. on 12/20/2012 at 9:00 a.m. for a meeting with Janette Manuel?It
10
came to my attention that the UCDPD “Most Unwanted” police warrant
11
with my photos is still hanging in the HVAC shop and probably in other
12
UCDMC places. I don’t want be shot by in the back by Lt. James
13
Barbour’s forces for entering the Ticon III Bldg. to discuss my benefits
14
15 upon termination of my employment.
16 I appreciate your prompt response in this matter.
17 Jerry
18 436. Gina Harwood responded,

19 “Hi Jerry: There is no problem with you attending a meeting on Thursday
20
in HR. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
21
Gina”
22
624. On December 20, 2012, Plaintiff, who was not yet eligible for early Social
23
Security benefits at age sixty one and half , signed all necessary documents to cash out and
24
transfer to an IRA account his University Retirement money. Plaintiff estimated that it will let
25
him get by for another three years, without additional income equal to what Plaintiff was making
26
as a University of California employee.

December 16, 2012 – Plaintiff’s Application for Unemployment Insurance Benefits with State
1 of California Employment Development Department
2
625. Nine days after receiving a letter of employment termination, Plaintiff filed an
3
application for unemployment insurance benefits with the State of California Employment
4
Development Department (EDD).
5
626. The Defendant in outrageous disregard of the February 2009 Settlement–
6
7 Agreement signed with Plaintiff and in disregard of Plaintiff’s outstanding working record ,
8 slandered and defamed Plaintiff with the Employment Development Department, thus causing
9 denial of Plaintiff’s unemployment insurance benefits by EDD.
10 627. By the reckless, despicable and inhumane Defendant’ continuous attack aimed at
11 Plaintiff, the Defendant caused Plaintiff additional enormous stress, anxiety and financial harm
12 in the period when Plaintiff was not eligible yet for earlier Social Security Benefits and was
13 awaiting to cash out his University Retirement money and transfer it to an IRA account.
14 628. Plaintiff’s unemployment insurance benefits case is pending in the State of
15 California Court of Appeal 3rd Appellate District, Case Caption Waszczuk v. California

JANUARY 2013
19
20 January 3, 2013- Plaintiff’s Step I Complaint Pursuant to the UC Davis Complaint Resolution
Policy PPSM 70.
21
22 629. On January 3, 2013, Plaintiff filed the Step I Complaint pursuant to the UC Davis
23 Complaint Resolution Policy PPSM 70. The Step I complaint was the initial appeal from the
24 Defendant’ decision terminating Plaintiff’s employment on December 7, 2012.
25 630. The termination letter stated that Plaintiff has rights to request review of the
26 Defendant’ employment action under Personnel Policies for Staff Members 70 - Complaint
27
Resolution.
28

Page 226 of 227
1 631. Plaintiff at first did not have the intention to file a complaint under the UC Davis
2 Policy PPSM due to the fact that Plaintiff already sent a 23-page brief to the Skelly Reviewer in
3 December and made a complaint wherever it was possible and the another complaint would have
4 the same effect as the previous one.
5
632. Plaintiff was on the edge of a major nervous breakdown and was worried about
6
getting a heart attack after Plaintiff lost his employment income, house medical insurance and
7
other benefits and felt that filing another complaint just nonsense and futile.
8
633. Since February 2009, Plaintiff was employed by the Defendant pursuant to the
9
Settlement–Agreement that the Defendant signed with Plaintiff after the Defendant were
10
defeated by Plaintiff in the 2008 arbitration process. The Defendant not only violated and
11
breached the Settlement-Agreement they signed with Plaintiff, but despicably violated Plaintiff’s
12
constitutional rights, employee, civil and human rights beyond anyone’s imagination and beyond
13
the signed Settlement-Agreement.
14
15 634. Plaintiff’s mind was and still is constantly and unstoppably occupied by the
16 Defendant’ criminally minded May 31, 2012 provocation. Undoubtedly it was the Defendant’
17 goal to kill Plaintiff or end his employment in the UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit # 11.
18 Plaintiff is still obsessively thinking about and can’t get it out of his mind because the Defendant
19 never in one word in any document address their own disgraceful, despicable and criminally
20 minded action against their own employee, who provided service for the Defendant for 13 years
21 and almost ended his employment in death.
22 635. Plaintiff expressed and emphasized his feelings about the Defendant’ way to
23 resolve the labor dispute with Plaintiff in the cover letter to the Step I Complaint Plaintiff sent to
24
UCDHS HR Labor Relation Consultant Gina Harwood on January 2, 2013.
25
636. Together with a cover letter, Plaintiff sent to Gina Harwood a copy of the
26
February 2009 Settlement–Agreement, the copy of Plaintiff’s Brief for Oral Arguments sent by
27
Plaintiff to Skelly Reviewer, UC Davis Associate Vice Chancellor Allen Tollefson, on
28

Page 227 of 228
1 November 12, 2012, copies of complaint letters dated July 17, 2011 and July 24, 2011 that
2 Plaintiff sent to UC Davis Chief Counsel Steven A. Drown, who signed the February 2009
3 Settlement–Agreement with Plaintiff on the Regents of the University of California’s behalf. In
4 the cover letter to Gina Harwood, Plaintiff wrote:
5
(Note: to avoid any confusion or misunderstanding, Plaintiff’s letter Gina Harwood was
6 corrected by a professional proofreader.)
7
Re: The Letter of Termination Dated December 5, 2012- Request
8 for Review under PPSM 70.
9 Dear Mrs. Harwood:
10
The Letter of Termination issued by Mr. Witcher states:
11
“You have the right to request review of this action under Personnel Policies
12
for Staff Members 70 - Complaint Resolution. If you wish to request review of
13
this action, you must do so in writing, using the appropriate complaint form. A
14
written request must be received in the UCDHS Employee & Labor Relations
15
office no later than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of this letter.”
16
I did not have any intention to follow the Letter of Termination advice and file
17
a request for review with the HR Labor Relation Office, which has caused the
18
termination of my employment with University of California after 13 years of
19
20 service.
21 I was sure that filing a request for review under PPSM 70 would be
22 unnecessary and a redundant action on my part, since I already submitted a 23-
23 page brief for the Oral Response to The Notice Intent to Dismiss dated
24 September 25, 2012, which includes hundreds of pages of exhibits to UC

25 Davis Skelly Reviewer Mr. Allen Tollefson.
26 My detailed objection and direct explanation in the meeting with Mr. Tollefson
27 as to why my employment is subject of wrongful termination did not change
28

Page 228 of 229
1 anything, and my employment was terminated anyway.
2 After I received the final Letter of Termination of my employment, my intent
3 was to write a Letter of Condemnation to the Skelly Reviewer & UC Davis
4 Assistant Vice Chancellor Mr. Allen Tollefson for his “Sergeant Shultz, I see
5
nothing, I hear nothing, I read nothing” decision (reference to the “Hogan’s
6
Heroes” TV serial about WW II).
7
The multiple complaints I filed and complaint letters I wrote to various UC
8
officials in the period of more than one year, as well as the abovementioned
9
brief I submitted to the Skelly Reviewer, caused me to believe that I
10
completely exhausted the University administrative remedies other than taking
11
further legal court action against UC Regents for wrongfully terminating my
12
employment.
13
However, during my preparation to the wrongful termination court action
14
15 against the University of California, I reviewed the State of California and
16 Federal Court cases in relation to employees’ wrongful terminations.
17 Three of the cases that I reviewed caught my attention, and this is why I have
18 decided to file a request for review under the PPSM 70. I have to be certain
19 that I would not be precluded to file the wrongful termination lawsuit or else I
20 will be defeated like the two Plaintiffs in Janet Campbell v. Regents Of The
21 University of California S113275; Ct.App.1/1 A097560; San Francisco Super.
22 CT. No. 312736 and Patricia M. Palmer v. Regents Of The University of
23 California 2nd App. Div.7 B154868; Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No.BC
24
187036.
25
The third case is the newest wrongful termination lawsuit, which is interesting
26
because of the astronomical jury verdict for Plaintiff. The Ani Chopourian v.
27
Catholic Healthcare West wrongful termination case in Federal Court included
28

Page 229 of 230
1 nasty and intolerable working conditions, sexual harassment, and a violation of
2 section 1278.5 of California’s Health and Safety Code.
3 The astronomical $167 million dollar jury verdict against the defendant in the
4 case, as well as the lawsuit itself, have no relation to the University of
5
California or my employment termination”?
6
However, the astronomical jury verdict sent the strong message to the other
7
employers who are violating the law as well as their own established policies,
8
which outline that abusing power, harassing, and retaliating against employees
9
with legitimate complaints could result in stiff and astronomical penalties
10
The Ani Chopourian v. Catholic Healthcare West case makes me wonder how
11
severe the jury verdict would have been if, besides the wrongful termination
12
and sexual harassment, Ani Chopourian’s employer set a trap to provoke, kill,
13
or send her to the hospital’s trauma unit badly injured like my employer
14
15 planned to do with me on May 31, 2012.
16 The date of May 31, 2012 constantly occupies my mind with unanswered
17 questions and thoughts in relation to the ill-planed UCDMC HR “Death
18 Squad” provocation and assault me with deadly force.
19 Would I have survived or would have been disabled for the rest of my life if I
20 survived? If I was taken to the UCD Trauma Unit, would my IV be filled with
21 toxic doses of drugs that could have contraindicated the medicines I am
22 currently taking, since the UCD wouldn’t know my medical history? Would I
23 become part of a deadly and illegal medical experiment? Ani Chopourian is
24
not asking herself these questions. I do not wish anybody to have his/her mind
25
occupied by such trauma that the UC Davis Medical Center Human Resources
26
Department caused me. “Sometimes I think that I should have never asked for
27
the documents that I received under the Public Record Act because of how
28

Page 230 of 231
1 close to the cemetery or UC Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit I actually
2 came.”
3 The two abovementioned lawsuits for wrongful terminations against The UC
4 Regents have addressed a lot of mandatory administrative remedies and
5
damages mitigation with UC. I surely exhausted all remedies by complaining
6
about the violation of public policies by my employer. I am unsure how I will
7
mitigate anything with my employer, who signed with me a Settlement–
8
Agreement in 2009. Two years later, the signed Settlement–Agreement was
9
trashed by my employer, and the special safari to hunt down and kill a 60-year-
10
old employee in April 2011 began. It is horrible to think about.
11
The outrageously fabricated and malicious accusations, lies, allegations, and
12
assertions against me by the HR Investigators show how meaningless the UC
13
Policies are for those who are unscrupulously and cruelly violating the laws
14
15 and human and employee rights; they are also abusing the power given to them
16 by the UC System
17 The UCDMC HR Investigators’ malicious lies were converted into accusations
18 in the Letter of Suspension. The May 31, 2012 death trap, the Notice Intent to
19 Dismiss, and, finally, the Letter of Termination dated December 5, 2012

20 further proved the UCDMC management’s malice and outrageous abuse of
21 power in dealing with labor relation issues and violations of law and UC
22 Policies.”
23 The UCDMC and UC Davis Campus Compliance and Internal Audits Offices
24
covered up and gave the green light for UCDMC Management to abuse its
25
power and violate the law and UC Policies. This is so obvious and well
26
documented in this case that the jury will have no problems reaching a verdict
27
and providing a special message to the UC Regents.
28

1 “The “Wedge Extractor” (Gerry Preciado) was hired by the “HR Death Squad”
2 leader , UCDHS HR Executive Director Stephen Chillcot after the Notice of
3 Intent to Terminate my employment, which was only a desperate act to
4 downplay, minimize, and apply the smoke screen for the serious problems
5
caused by the UCDMC PO&M and HR Department regarding Labor Relations
6
issues and matters.”
7
I read the “Wedge Extractor’s” Report which is a perfect reason to file another
8
complaint under the UC meaningless Whistle Blowing Policy for misuse and
9
abuse of UC resources and monies to cover up the UCDMC management’s
10
abuse of power and public policies violation.
11
Instead of hiring a “Wedge Extractor,” Mr. Chillcot should extract himself
12
from his office, along with other HR “Death Squad” members who willfully—
13
and without the pressures from their superiors—participated in the ill-minded
14
15 and planned deadly assault on Waszczuk May 31, 2012. Without a doubt, it
16 would help UC Regents avoid costly litigations in the future.

25
alleged as follows.
26
27 a) University policy or procedure violated (if any).

5
In addition to the already mentioned violation of the UC Policies the
6 UCDMC Management violated the following State and California and
Federal Law by wrongfully firing Waszczuk

19 De sc r i be y o ur c o m p la i n t i n de ta i l , i nc l u d i ng t he fo l lo w i ng

20
3. How did the management act violate policy or procedure?
21
22 The termination of Waszczuk’s employment is a malicious and gross
23 violation of law and is pure and undisputable retaliation against Waszczuk for
24 exposing and reporting University of California Davis Medical Center managers
25 and supervisors who were suspected of committing illegal activities, as he called
26 attention to their unspeakable violations of University of California policies as

27 well as of state and federal law. Waszczuk’ May 2012 suspension without pay
28

Page 233 of 234
1 and his subsequent termination of employment is based on the fabricated lies
2 and accusations of his supervisors, some of Mr. Waszczuk’ coerced coworker
3 and UCDMC human resource (HR) investigators along with Mr. Waszczuk’
4 taken-out-of-context statements in his correspondence with various UC
5
managers, executives, and investigators.
6
2009 SETTLEMENT- AGREEMENT VIOLATION BY THE UCDMC
7 MANAGAMENT
8 The UCDMC management by firing Waszczuk from his job breached and
9
violated the 2009 Settlement-Agreement between Waszczuk and the Regents
10
of the UC. As early as of July 2011. Waszczuk submitted two letters of
11
complaint to the UC Davis campus Chief Counsel Mr. Steven A. Drown and
12
asked him to advise violators of the signed Settlement-Agreement to stop
13
assaulting Waszczuk and to restore order in Waszczuk’ workplace. The letters
14
dated July 17 and 24, 2011 are self-explanatory, and no reason exists to
15
elaborate further about my employment malice in relation to the settlement –
16
agreement. It is only appropriate to mention that Mr. Drown as the UC Davis
17
chief counsel signed the mentioned agreement on behalf of the UC Regents.
18
19 Mr. Drown was obligated to act to prevent further violation of the agreement,
20 unthinkable harassment, and retaliation which almost ended in UC Davis
21 Police’s assaulting Waszczuk with a deadly weapon on May 31, 2012, as well
22 as Waszczuk’ unwarranted employment termination on December 7, 2012.
23 The UC “Just Cause” Doctrine

24 The UC Davis Health System (UCDHS) Web Page States:
http://www.ucdmc.ucdavis.edu/hr/hrdepts/labor_relations/just_cause.html
25
"Just cause" is the guiding principle that we utilize as a public employer
26
27 whenever we engage in some form of corrective action or progressive discipline
28 for our employees. Supervisors are always expected to have "just cause" when

Page 234 of 235
1 disciplining an employee.
2 My Response :
3 I am not sure as to whether the supervisors who have caused me so much pain
4 and suffering since April 2011 understands the meaning of the “just cause”
5
doctrine, taking into consideration that they covered up their severe
6
misconduct, including and not limited to dishonesty misappropriation of
7
university property, and acts to endanger others.
8
Furthermore, the doctrine of just cause requires that management rules, orders,
9
and disciplinary actions be applied in a consistent and nondiscriminatory
10
manner. I do not know how any employee could expect nondiscriminatory
11
discipline action from a manager or supervisor who is stalking his subordinate
12
from a dark office and with a company camera or who his violently attacking
13
his subordinate in a university cafeteria.
14
15 I will leave to my attorney the further interpretation of the UCDHS just cause,
16 Preponderance of Evidence Doctrine PPSM 23 and other policies in relation to
17 my employment termination on December 7, 2012.
18 Besides the above, the UCDMC is accredited by The Joint Commission, a
19 not for-profit organization dedicated to raising the level of safety and

20 quality of care in all health care settings.
21 The UC Davis Center for Professional Practice of Nursing pamphlet “What's
22 New in 2011” states that “[t]he Medical Center does not take disciplinary
23 action or retaliate against an employee for bringing forward quality of care
24
and patient safety concerns.”
25
In the same year Waszczuk on July 11,2011wrote to UCDMC HR Director
26
Stephen Chillcot:
27
“I was not aware that Gina Harwood gave unintentionally the green light and
28

Page 235 of 236
1 blessing to my managers for alternation of my duty and the sabotage of my job.
2 Her decision added so much high BTU fuel to the fire, and this fire needs to be
3 extinguished as soon as possible for the benefits of UCDMC, involved parties
4 in the conflict, and especially for the benefit of the hospital patients who can't
5
be put at risk because the war is going on in PO&M Department HVAC
6
[Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning] Shop. I really don't care what is
7
going to happen to me, but I am really concerned about hospital patients’ care
8
in relation to my duty.”
9
One year later, the same Mr. Chillcot with his new “henchman on the block,”
10
Travis Lindsey, not only retaliated against an employee who reported UCDMC
11
management’s wrongdoing but also engaged in activities as a UCDMC HR
12
“Death Squad” leader in an effort to commit a heinous crime for the sake of
13
protecting UCDMC management’s false image as well as to protect the fat
14
15 paychecks that he and others were receiving regardless of their qualifications
16 to lead.
17 I am so traumatized when I think about the UCDMC trauma unit, which was
18 ready for me on May 31, 2012.
19 However, today I am less surprised about Mr. Chillcot’s war game, after the
20 newspapers and television (TV) news have announced that under the
21 supervision of humanitarian off the Year, Mrs. Claire Pomeroy and UCDMC
22 CEO Mrs. Ann Madden Rice, the UCDMC created an oasis for neurosurgeons
23 whose activities were closely akin to Dr. Mengele’s from the Auschwitz Death
24
Camp—characterized by ill-minded illegal medical experiments. The only
25
difference was that Dr. Mengele was declared a war criminal and sentenced to
26
death in absentia. The two UCDMC “Mengeles” were fired from their jobs,
27
and Mrs. Pomeroy resigned from her position under false pretenses. Mrs. Rice
28

Page 236 of 237
1 still maintains her throne.
2 If I read today the statement about The Joint Commission in Director Robert
3 Taylor’s e-mail dated July 11, 2009, entitled “Antarctica Presentation” and his
4 unusual and reported past relationship with Dorin Daniliuc , which still awaits
5
clarification, I sometimes think that it was the reason I came under vicious
6
attack in 2011 and was fired in December 2012.
7
If I think today about Mr. Hugh Parker’s action in the Managing Stress
8
classroom on May 30, 1951, I understand today why I had to leave the
9
classroom. It was impossible for Mr. Parker to let me stay in the classroom
10
with my two coworkers: It would screw up his and others’ plans for an ill-
11
planned provocation and my departure to the UCDMC trauma unit one day
12
later. It is worth mentioning that Mr. Parker is an HR workers compensation
13
manager who helps employees who are hurt on the job. I did not know that Mr.
14
15 Parker was dedicated to helping me to acquire disability and to serving me his
16 workers compensation papers in the UCDMC trauma unit.
17 I am not sure what more should I write in this final complaint under PPSM 70.
18 I am so traumatized and stressed out, but thanks to God, I escaped the May 31,
19 2012, attack unharmed and I am still alive.

20 Should I write about Lt. James Bolfour’s and Mr. Dennis Curry threatening e-
21 mail; Ms. Danesha Nichol’s , Mr. Brent Seifert’s, and Ms. Cindy Oropeza’s
22 libelous and full-of-lies reports; my coworkers’ complaints about the same
23 managers; the letters of recognition that Mr. Dereck Cole received; and finally
24
the documents I received under the California Public Records Act? I think I
25
covered most everything in my previous correspondence and complaints, and
26
the rest I will leave to be resolved in a court of law if my employer will not
27
mitigate and resolve this wrongful termination of my employment before I file
28

Page 237 of 238
1 the lawsuit. So far, I do not see any good will or faith on the part of UC to
2 make any move in the right direction and to end the conflict. For the record, I
3 deny and condemn all allegations in the PO&M manager Mr. Charles
4 Witcher’s intent-to-dismiss notice dated September 25, 2012; the Skelly
5
Reviewer Mr. Tollefson’s opinion dated December 3, 2012; and the
6
termination letter dated December 5, 2012, as baseless, groundless, malicious,
7
acts of oppression and unthinkable in work place retaliation.
8
5. How were you adversely affected?
9
The termination of Waszczuk’ employment after 13 years of service and five
10
years prior to his Social Security retirement were done with the malicious
11
intention of causing Mr. Waszczuk financial harm and severe emotional
12
distress and were done with a willful and conscious disregard of the likelihood
13
of causing Waszczuk such distress.
14
15 The conduct of management especially stalking Waszczuk and holding him
16 hostage in his own home by abusing the UC Investigatory Leave Policy;
17 suspending Waszczuk without pay; plotting to kill or severely harm Waszczuk
18 on May 31, 2012; and finally terminating his employment on December 7,
19 2012 did, in fact, cause Waszczuk to suffer severe emotional distress,

20 embarrassment, humiliation, pain and anguish, stress, and depression. The
21 conduct of management further caused Waszczuk’s loss of present and future
22 income, significant decreases in his UC retirement fund, and other incidental
23 and consequential damages and expenses, not to mention the enormous stress
24
that Mr. Waszczuk’s wrongful termination has caused his spouse as well.
25
The conduct of management was extreme and outrageous; was done in a
26
malicious, fraudulent, and oppressive manner; was intended to injure
27
Waszczuk; was executed with an improper and evil motive amounting to
28

Page 238 of 239
1 malice and spite stemming from management's failure to adequately
2 represent Waszczuk and was done in conscious disregard of Waszczuk's
3 employee and civil rights. The Settlement-Agreement that Waszczuk
4 signed with the UC Regents in February 2009 became a worthless piece of
5
paper. The position and job duty outlined in the Settlement-Agreement was
6
given to a person who was a relative of the reported child pornography
7
felon who illegally and in violation of his parole accessed the UCDMC
8
computer. In this matter, the HVAC shop supervisors openly and with full
9
knowledge participated in allowing the felon who was convicted twice of
10
child pornography to violate his court parole by letting him access a
11
company computer on UCDMC premises. The mentioned individual
12
previously was fired from UCDMC and should be restrained from being
13
present on UCDMC premises without a valid reason. Instead, the UCDMC
14
15 investigator has ignored and covered up the entire issue in her report.
16 Waszczuk’s coworker experienced outrageous retaliation for reporting the
17 presence of a child pornography felon on company premises, and
18 Waszczuk believes that the father of the convicted child pornography felon
19 was promised to have Mr. Waszczuk’s job and position a long time before
20 April 2011. This was yet another reason to retaliate against and harass
21 Waszczuk as well as to later terminate his employment.
22 6. Resolution Requested
23
24
Waszczuk is requesting in good faith the following resolution to end the
25
conflict without further costly litigations.
26
After receiving and reviewing my request/complaint, the UC immediately
27
shall restore my employment in the spirit of the signed 2009 Settlement-
28

Page 239 of 240
1 Agreement with the UC Regents with an increased salary to $82,000/year
2 and all of the benefits that Mr. Waszczuk had prior to the termination of
3 his employment.
4 For the enormous amount of emotional distress inflicted on Waszczuk as a
5
result of the malicious and ill planned provocations and planned May 31,
6
2012, assault on Waszczuk with deadly force, which will probably occupy
7
his mind for the rest of his life, Waszczuk is requesting from the UC
8
compensation in the amount of $10,000,000 dollars (10 million dollars).
9
The amount of the requested compensation looks and sounds big.
10
However, if taking into consideration the astronomical jury award in the
11
Ani Chopourian v. Catholic Healthcare West lawsuit and the reason
12
behind the astronomical compensation for harassment and retaliation in
13
that case, Waszczuk should be awarded at least twice what Plaintiff was
14
15 awarded in Ani Chopourian v. Catholic Healthcare West in his wrongful
16 termination case goes to court.

CC: UC Regents, UC President Mark Yudoff, UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi,
18 UC Davis Vice Chancellor Ralph Hexter
19 639. Plaintiff’s Grievance was confirmed by UCDHS HR Labor Relations on
20 January 8, 2013 with assigned Case No. 03-PPS-014-12/13.
21 January 19, 2013- UC Davis PPSM Step II Decisions in the unwarranted Letters of
Expectation Plaintiff’s coworkers William Buckans, Kenny Diede and Dereck Cole were
22 attacked by UC Davis Management in May and August 2012.
23 640. On or around January 19, Plaintiff received from UCDHS HR Labor
24 Relation the Step II Appeal- decisions for the complaints Plaintiff filed on his three coworkers,
25 Kenneth Diede, William Buckans and Dereck Cole were served in May and August 2012.
26 Plaintiff provided representation for the mentioned coworkers pursuant to UC Davis Compliant
27 Resolution Policy PPSM 70.
28

Page 240 of 241
1 641. The Step I Appeals were denied for Kenneth Diede, William Buckans and
2 Dereck Cole by UCDHS Plant Operation and Maintenance Manager Charles Witcher, who
3 signed the Letter of Termination of Plaintiff’s employment, which was served to Plaintiff on
4 December 5, 2012.
5
642 On December 4, 2012, Plaintiff as a representative held a Step II appeal
6
meeting on the UC Davis Campus with the UCDHS HR assigned Compliant Resolution Officer
7
(CRO), retired UC Davis HR Director Elizabeth A. Mayer.
8
643. Magically, Elizabeth A. Mayer reversed Charles Witcher’s decision
9
who denied the Step I Appel and Meyer ruled in favor of Kenneth Diede, William Buckans and
10
Dereck Cole.The letter of expectation served to Dereck Cole which was very similar to the
11
Notice of Employment termination. The Elizabeth Mayer’s decisions made Plaintiff believe that
12
the Defendant successfully manipulated Plaintiff, to distract him by attacking Plaintiff’s
13
coworkers to divert Plaintiff’s attention from the Defendant’ more serious misconduct and
14
15 violation of law, for which disclosure would have more serious consequences.

18 February 1, 2013- PPSM 70 Step I Appeal Decision in Plaintiff’s Dismissal
19 Case No. 03-PPS-014-12/13

20 644.. On February 1, 2013 Plaintiff received from UDHS HR Labor Consultant
21 Gina Harwood PPSM the Step I appeal decision in Plaintiff’s dismissal Case No. 03-PPS-014 -
22 12/13. Gina Harwood’s cover letter stated:
23 Grievant: Jaroslaw Waszczuk
File Number: 03-PPS-014-12/13
24 Issue(s): Dismissal
Please consider this the University's Step I response to the above referenced
25
26 complaint. The complaint alleges that your dismissal from employment was a
27 violation of University policy and did not follow the just cause standard. The
28 requested remedy is reinstatement to your position with a salary increase and

Page 241 of 242
1 compensation in the amount of $10,000,000.
2 Your complaint was submitted to Thomas Rush, Manager, Facilities Design
3 and Construction for review at Step I. Mr. Rush has reviewed the complaint
4 and supporting documentation and has issued his response, see attached. Ms.
5
Rush did not find that your dismissal was a violation of University Policy and
6
finds that your dismissal was appropriate. The complaint and requested
7
remedies are denied.
8
You have the right to appeal this decision to Step II of the Complaint
9
Resolution Process. Your written appeal must be received in our office within
10
30 days from the date of this response. If you choose not to submit an appeal,
11
the complaint will be closed based on this response.

15
16
645. The actual three-page Step I Appeal Review was signed by USDHS
17
18 Manager of Facilities Design and Construction Thomas Rush, whom Plaintiff never heard of or
19 met. Normally Step I Appeal is reviewed by the Department Head, which was Charles Witcher,
20 who signed the termination letter. In such a situation, HR, by writing the review, had to insert a
21 different name than the Department Head name.
22 646. Thomas Rush was a subordinate and colleague of the USDHS Facilities
23 Design and Construction Executive Director Mike Boyd, who in July 2011 also became Director
24 for the UC Davis Medical Center Plant Operation and Maintenance Department and became the
25 direct superior of Charles Witcher and indirectly Plaintiff superior. It was no coincidence that
26 Thomas Rush’s name was selected for Step I review. It is the second time Mike Boyd’s
27
subordinate was assigned to review Plaintiff’s appeal. First was Michael Pansious in May 2012,
28

Page 242 of 243
1 to review the 10 days’ suspension without pay served to Plaintiff, as a lure to provoke and kill
2 Plaintiff, on May 31, 2012.
3 647. If Thomas Rush actually wrote the decision in Step I, then he
4 somehow forgot to mention in his decision the supportive documents that Plaintiff provided with
5
his Step I Appeal, which included the February 2009 Settlement–Agreement that Plaintiff signed
6
with the Regents of the University of California (Defendant), the copy of Plaintiff’s Brief for
7
Oral Arguments sent by Plaintiff to Skelly Reviewer, UC Davis Associate Vice Chancellor Allen
8
Tollefson on November 12, 2012, and copies of complaint letters dated July 17, 2011 and July
9
24, 2011 that Plaintiff sent to UC Davis Chief Counsel Steven A. Drown, who signed the
10
February 2009 Settlement–Agreement with Plaintiff on the Regents of the University of
11
California’s behalf. It is possible that Gina Harwood did not bother to provide the mentioned
12
documents to Thomas Rush. It would probably not make any difference anyway and he would
13
write what he was told to write, or it was written for him by Gina Harwood or HR’s other
14
15 attorney. The Thomas Rush decision is even worth to be pasted into this amended complaint.
16
17 February 28, 2013- Plaintiff’s Step II Appeal PPSM 70-Dismisal
18
19 648. On February 28, 2013, Plaintiff filed a Step II Appeal from the December 7, 2012
20 Employment Termination Pursuant to UC Davis Policy PPSM 70 asking $10,000,000 for the
21 unthinkable psychological tortures that Plaintiff experienced from the Defendant in one year and
22 a half of inhumane prosecution and attempts to provoke and kill Plaintiff. In his 19 –page
23 appeal , Plaintiff just vented out his stress and anger knowing that any appeal will not do Plaintiff
24
any good after the Defendant attempted to provoke and kill Plaintiff and UC Davis Police issued
25
and distributed around UC Davis Campuses the “Most Unwanted Persona Non Grata” poster
26
with Plaintiff’s photo and description on it.
27
649. In conclusion of the Step II Appeal request, Plaintiff wrote:
28

March 7, 2013 – Plaintiff’s Whistleblowing Retaliation and Interference Complaint with UC
10
Davis Vice Chancellor and Provost Office
11
12 650. On March 7, 2013, Plaintiff filed a Whistleblowing Retaliation and
13 Interference Complaint with the UC Davis Vice Chancellor’s Office due to Plaintiff’s protected
14 activities by the GOVERNMENT CODESECTION 8547-8547.13, which states:

15 8547.10. (a) A University of California employee, including an officer or
16 faculty member, or applicant for employment, may file a written complaint
17 with his or her supervisor or manager, or with any other university officer
18 designated for that purpose by the regents, alleging actual or attempted acts of
19
reprisal, retaliation, threats, coercion, or similar improper acts for having made
20

23
(b) Any person who intentionally engages in acts of reprisal, retaliation,
24
threats, coercion, or similar acts against a University of California employee,

651. Plaintiff with his Whistleblowing Retaliation and Interference complaint
7
form submitted to the UC Davis Vice Chancellor’s office a 35-page brief, 1500 pages of

supportive documents and a cover letter, which stated:

13 Re: Retaliation and Interference Complaint
14 Dear Vice Chancellor Hexter,Enclosed is a copy of my Retaliation and
15 Interference Complaint against certain individuals who are managing the UC
16 Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, California, where I was employed for
17 over thirteen years and where my employment was abruptly and without valid
18
and legitimate reason terminated on December 7, 2012.
19
In addition to the managing officers at the UC Davis Medical Center, who are
20
included in the complaint, UC Davis Chief of Police Matt Carmichael and his
21
subordinate, Lieutenant James Barbour, are included in the complaint for
22
alleged act(s) of provocation and conspiracy with other individuals listed in the
23
complaint in an attempt to murder me on May 31, 2012 or send me to the UC
24
Davis Medical Center Trauma Unit in a state of extreme harm.
25
It is very disturbing—even unthinkable—that UC Davis leaders should
26
use the UC Davis Police Department to resolve labor disputes with
27
28 employees who are making complaints. The original Retaliation and

10
11 652. In June 2013, Plaintiff Whistleblowing Retaliation and Interference Complaint
12 was transferred from the UC Davis Vice Chancellor’s and Provost office to the UC Office of the
13 President (UCOP) Ethics, Compliance and Audit Services.
14 653. The UC Office of the President Principal Investigator Judith Rosenberg was assigned
15 to investigate Plaintiff’s Whistleblowing Retaliation and Interference Complaint.
16 654. The investigation was presided over by two UC Senior Vice Presidents, Sheryl
17
Vacca and Daniel Dooley.
18
655. Plaintiff met UCOP Investigator Judith Rosenberg twice. Plaintiff’s coworker
19
William Buckans witnessed the meetings. Investigator Judith Rosenberg was not very anxious to
20
investigate and she showed her feelings about. The UCOP Principal Investigator probably knew
21
that the Regents, Office of the President and UC Office of the General Counsel were responsible
22
for Plaintiff’s termination without knowing the cause.
23
656. One year later in June 2014, Judith Rosenberg issued her investigation Report,
24
which had nothing to do with any investigation. Judith Rosenberg repeated the defaming and
25
defacing statements made about Plaintiff by three previous investigators, Danesha Nichols, Brent
26
27 Seifert and Cindi Oropeza who portrayed Plaintiff far worse, as a two time convicted child
28 pornography felon who was illegally accessing UC Davis Medical Center HVAC shop

Page 246 of 247
1 computers while on parole.
2 657. In the one letter after the meeting with Judith Rosenberg, Plaintiff asked
3 her not to copy Danesha Nichols, Brent Seifert and Cindi Oropeza in her investigation and said
4 that Plaintiff liked to remember Rosenberg as a good person. This did not happen.
5
659. On September 10, 2014 more than 18 months after Plaintiff filed his 35-
6
page long Whistleblowing and Interference Complaint with 1500 supportive documents, Plaintiff
7
received a half-page decision signed by the UC Senior Vice President Daniel Dooley.
8
660. UC Senior Vice President Daniel Dooley wrote in his decision:
9 September 10, 2014
10 Re: Your Whistleblower Retaliation Complaint
11
Dear Mr. Waszczuk:
12
In my role as the Locally Designated Official (LDO) for the University of
13
14 California System, I have carefully reviewed the investigation report prepared
15 by Judith Rosenberg, who investigated your allegations of whistleblower
16 retaliation under the University's Whistleblower Protection Policy. While Ms.
17 Rosenberg found that you had made protected disclosures under the
18 Whistleblower Policy, she concluded that the preponderance of the evidence

19 did not substantiate your allegation that your protected disclosures were a
20 contributing factor in the University's decision to suspend you without pay
21 from May 16 to May 30, 2012, or in the University's subsequent decision to
22 terminate your employment. She further concluded that the University's
23
decision to place you on investigatory leave and the California Employment
24
Development Department's denial of unemployment benefits did not constitute
25
adverse employment actions.
26
I agree with Ms. Rosenberg's analysis and conclusions. In light of the
27
foregoing, it is my decision that you have failed to meet your burden of
28

Page 247 of 248
1 demonstrating by a preponderance of the evidence that you were subjected to
2 adverse employment action as a result of engaging in conduct protected by the
3 Whistleblower Protection Policy. I am therefore closing the University's file
4 with regard to your complaint.
5
Thank you for cooperating with the University's investigation.
6 Sincerely,
7 Daniel M. Dooley
Senior Vice President
8 Locally Designated Official

10
11 661. The question is whether the UC Senior Vice President, who was overseeing Judith
12 Rosenberg, was aware of all the details of the case and why Plaintiff became a subject of such a
13 vicious retaliation from the Defendant, which lasted for more than a year and half and was
14 continued by the Defendant after Plaintiff’s termination through the State of California
15
Employment Development Department and the California Unemployment Insurance Appeal
16
Board than in State of California Sacramento of Sacramento Superior Court Department 23 with
17
Presiding Judge Hon. Shaleyanne Chang.
18
662. The University of California Office of the President (UCOP) Principal
19
Investigator Judith concluded her pseudo-investigation in Plaintiff’s Whistleblowing Retaliation
20
and Interference Complaint on June 23, 2013, which was a year and four months since Plaintiff
21
filed the complaint on April 7, 2013 with UC Davis Provost and Vice Chancellor Office.
22
663. Judith Rosenberg’s Confidential Investigation Report issued on June 23, 2014
23
was more or less a summary of the previous several fabricated reports as a cause for Plaintiff’s
24
25 May 2012 ten-day suspension without pay and employment termination on December 7, 2012.
26 664. Judith Rosenberg’s investigation report has nothing to do with any investigation
27 and was basically based on slanderous and libelous fabrication issued by UC Davis Health
28 System HR-assigned investigators, Danesha Nichols, Brent Seifert and Cindi Oropeza.

Page 248 of 249
1 665. The Judith Rosenberg Investigator Report was basically expanded Notice Intent to
2 Dismiss and the Skelly Reviewer, UC Davis Associate Vice Chancellor Allen Tollefson’s
3 decision, which provided for the Defendant’ false and outrageous justification for Plaintiff’s
4 employment termination.
5
666. Judith Rosenberg was the first University of California Official who mentioned
6
the February 2009 Settlement-Agreement that Plaintiff signed with the Regents of the University
7
of California, and the Settlement-Agreement guaranteed employment for Plaintiff as the
8
Associate Development Engineer; due to that, the Defendant were defeated by Plaintiff in the
9
arbitration process in 2008.The previous case or dispute arose for exactly the same reason as this
10
ongoing litigation with the difference that, in the previous dispute, Plaintiff was slandered
11
defamed, defaced, wrongly accused and wrongfully suspended and resigned by the Defendant.
12
667. The present litigation arose when Plaintiff was slandered, defaced,
13
defamed and wrongfully suspended and terminated by the Defendant.
14
15 668. Judith Rosenberg, in her investigation report on page 19, described in a
16 misleading way the February 2009 Settlement-Agreement that Plaintiff signed with the Regents
17 of the University of California as a cash settlement.
18 669. Judith Rosenberg, as the University of California Principal Investigator
19 and experienced attorney at law, was perfectly aware what the 2009 Settlement-Agreement was
20 about and how grossly and unscrupulously it was violated by the Defendant.
21 670. Judith Rosenberg was perfectly aware that the Defendant defamed,
22 defaced and libeled Plaintiff by issuing, two months before he was terminated, the “PERSON
23 NOT AUTHORIZED ON PROPERTY” poster. Plaintiff’s photo and description were also
24
included on the poster, which was distributed around the UC Davis Medical Center Campus and,
25
most likely, sent to managers and UC Davis employees by electronic mail. Plaintiff was still a
26
University employee and received treatment like a “Most Wanted” criminal by the FBI.
27
671. Plaintiff is not certain whether Judith Rosenberg was aware or knew prior
28

Page 249 of 250
1 to writing and signing the investigation report what this case was really about. As an experienced
2 attorney at law and UC Principal Investigator, Judith Rosenberg knows for certain that the
3 allegations against Plaintiff, whether false or true, did not warrant keeping Plaintiff on
4 investigatory and administrative leave for over one year with pay or without pay and ten days
5
suspension without pay as well as terminating his employment.
6
672. Plaintiff believed that Judith Rosenberg discovered why Plaintiff became the
7
subject of unthinkable and despicable retaliation and employment termination after he submitted
8
the seven-page long letter to Rosenberg on the March 11, 2013 post-meeting with her. The letter
9
in 2015 was submitted to the court as an exhibit and was vigorously objected by the Defendant’
10
counsel. Plaintiff, representing himself, did not have a clue why the Defendant’ attorney objected
11
so aggressively to this exhibit.
12
673. Also, in 2013, Plaintiff did not know that his fated separation from the University
13
was decided by the Regents of the University of California, the University of California Office of
14
15 the President and the University of California Office of the General Counsel or that the very
16 narrow group of the University officials knew what this case was about.
17 674. The 2009 Settlement-Agreement Plaintiff signed with the Regents of the
18 University of California was not mentioned in by UC Senior Vice President Daniel Dooley in his
19 decision.
20 675. UC Senior Vice President Daniel Dooley resigned or was forced to resign from
21 his $400,000 job with the University of California shortly after he signed the decision in
22 Plaintiff’s Whistleblowing Retaliation Complaint.
23 676. UC Senior Vice President Daniel Dooley from November 2011-April 2012 was a
24
member of the Task Force Team, which investigated a pepper spray attack ordered by UC Davis
25
Chancellor Katehi against protesting students on November 18, 2011. The Task Force Team, of
26
which UC Senior Vice President Daniel Dooley was a member, caused unemployment for UC
27
Davis Police Captain Joy Souza , Lt. John Pike and UC Davis Police Chief Annette Spicuzza
28

Page 250 of 251
1 who was replaced by corrupted Matt Carmichael.
2 The Task Force Team investigation and Lt. John Pike and Annette Spicuzza firing from job with
3 war like propaganda all over r the media was nothing else but the smoke screen to protect
4 corrupted and rotten to the bones the University of California administration and system.

7 April 3, 2013 – The letter to UC Davis Health System Executive Director Mike Boyd
Termination of Plaintiff’s Employment – PPSM 70 Step II Appeal Hearing on April 2, 2013
8
677. On April 2, 2013, the Step II Appeal hearing took place in Plaintiff’s employment
9
termination pursuant to the UC Davis Policy PPSM 70 with the presiding Complainant
10
Resolution Officer at the hearing, UC Davis Health System Executive Director Mike Boyd, who
11
was Plaintiff’s indirect superior and, by the position and title, was responsible for Plaintiff’s
12
employment termination.
13
678. Plaintiff followed the instruction in the Letter of Termination dated December 5,
14
2012 and filed the complaint pursuant to the UC Davis Policy PPSM 70.
15
16 679. In 2013, Plaintiff was uncertain whether he should pursue his employment
17 termination complaint under the UC Davis Policy PPSM 70 or file the lawsuit to enforce the
18 February 2009 Settlement-Agreement that the Defendant i.e., the Regents of the University of
19 California signed with Plaintiff
20 700. Plaintiff, by filing the complaints pursuant to UC Davis Policy PPSM, had little
21 hope that his employment and position, provided to him by the 2009 Settlement-Agreement,
22 would be eventually restored without litigation or knowing that the decision to terminate him
23 came from the Defendant’ Headquarters in Oakland, CA and was carried out by Director Boyd
24 and others.
25
701. Plaintiff summarized the April 2, 2013 Step II Appeal Hearing as follows:

Re: Termination of Employment – PPSM 70 Step II Appeal Hearing

3 Dear Director Boyd:
4
Thank you for the opportunity to meet you and discuss my employment
5
termination matter during yesterday’s Step II Appeal Hearing, which took
6
place in UC Davis Campus HR Building. It was my understanding from our
7
discussion that you don’t have a clear picture about the taken-out-of-context
8
9 statements that were outlined in the Notice Intent to Dismiss for Serious
10 Misconduct.
11 I recently filed an Appeal with the California Insurance Appeal Board in
12 relation to my unemployment benefits, which shall not be denied by my
13 employer during the pending internal appeals under the PPSM 70appeals.
14 The abovementioned appeal with the California Insurance Appeal Board is
15 similar to my PPSM Step II Appeal, but is more focused and specifically
16 addresses the out-of-context statement written in Charles Witcher’s Notice
17 Intent to Dismiss dated September 25, 2012.
18
Together with this letter, I am sending you a copy of my Appeal Brief and the
19
relevant exhibits I submitted to the California Insurance Appeal Board.
20
I hope that the enclosed documents and your careful review of Oropeza and
21
Seifert’s Investigatory Report, which is based on lies, false statements and
22
fabricated accusations by a handful of people, will help you understand that
23
this case will not end with your hearing or in arbitration but, instead, will
24
ultimately be pursued in a court of law and justice will be served.
25
Besides the above, I am respectfully asking you for help on behalf of my
26
HVAC shop coworker, Kenny Diede, whose life and working conditions in the
27
28 HVAC shop became miserable and intolerable due to harassment and

Page 252 of 253
1 retaliation by Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc after Kenny reported child
2 pornography twice-convicted felon on shop premises. Kenny would be very
3 grateful if you would use your executive power as a director to help him to
4 move him to different department and away from Patrick Putney and Dorin
5
Daniluc’s harassment. I am representing Kenny in his complaints against
6
Patrick Putney and Dorin Daniliuc and I know that he has all the qualifications
7
and experience to work at either the UC Davis Campus or the UC Davis
8
Medical Center Fire Department. If a formal request from Kenny is needed to
9
move him from the HVAC shop, then he will submit one immediately. I
10
believe that relocating Kenny will contribute to healing the ongoing conflict,
11
ease the tension in the HVAC shop, and enable him to withdraw his complaint.
12
To conclude this letter, I would like to repeat my statement from the hearing
13
that I am always open to and ready for constructive discussion that will end the
14
15 conflict without having to involve lawyers and litigation.
16 Best Regards,
Jaroslaw Waszczuk

19 May 2, 2013 – UC Davis Health System Executive Director Mike Boyd’s – PPSM 70 Step II
Appeal Decision In Plaintiff’s Employment Termination Complaint
20
702. On May 2, 2013, UC Davis Health System Executive Director Mike Boyd
21
issued a decision in Plaintiff’s Step II Appeal employment termination complaint as follows
22
703. Plaintiff’s hope that Director Boyd, with his executive power, would find
23
a different solution was broken like a soap bubble”?
24
May 5, 2013 – Plaintiff’s Response to Director Boyd’s Step II Decision
25
26
27 704. Regardless of Plaintiff’s feelings about the retaliation and employment
28 termination, Plaintiff respected Director Boyd as a UC Davis Medical Center educated

Page 253 of 254
1 professional. However, after Plaintiff read in disbelief Director Boyd’s Step II Appeal Decision,
2 he was outraged by Boyd’s out-of-touch decision. Plaintiff could not curb his emotions and
3 expressed his feeling about Boyd in his letter dated May 5, 2013 as follows:

May 5, 2012

Mike Boyd, Executive Director
6 Facilities Planning, Design, and Construction
UC Davis Medical Center.
7 4800 2nd Avenue,
Sacramento, CA 95817
8
Subject: Response to your decision dated May 2, 2013—Response to Step 2 Appeal
9 (File #03-PPS- 014-12/12) regarding my employment termination.
10 Mr. Boyd:
On April 2, 2013, we held a meeting on the UC Davis Campus. On the same-day, UC
11
12 Davis Chief Compliance Officer Wendy Delmendo wrote me a letter and informed me
13 that she had accepted my complaint under the university’s Whistleblower Protection
14 Policy.
15
16 Furthermore, Ms. Delmendo explained that my whistleblower retaliation

17 complaint was put on hold and stay in abeyance until the final step of the 70
18 PPSM complaint process and until my PPSM 70 complaint proceeded to the
19 hearing, where the hearing officer will review my whistleblower retaliation
20 complaint along with my PPSM70 complaint. In her letter, Ms. Delmendo
21
failed to explain what would happen with my whistleblower retaliation
22
complain if I did not appeal your PPSM70 Step II decision.I view your
23
decision as a further malicious retaliation, full of lies and misstatements,
24
following the termination of my employment. This is not the first time we have
25
met, and it is not the first time I am responding to your decision, which makes
26
me sick to my stomach. I find it suspicious and inappropriate that the person
27
who is responsible for the termination of my employment and who has
28

Page 254 of 255
1 previously issued biased decisions against me has been assigned as the CRO to
2 review the case. As I recall, in March of 2012, you were removed from your
3 assignment as a Compliant Resolution Officer from Case No. 03-PPS-017-
4 11/12 due to Kenneth Diede’s objection.
5
I did not object to your assignment in the termination case. You should have
6
figured out on your own that you should not have participated in review of my
7
employment termination process as the assigned CRO and as the person
8
directly responsible for my employment termination. In fact, I am wondering
9
what compelled you to take this assignment. I believe that it is your and
10
Witcher’s revenge for being defeated in 2008, or that you are perhaps a
11
member of the circle of the corrupt UCDMC establishment, which (under the
12
umbrella of empty UC Davis “Principles of Community” slogans) viciously
13
and vindictively attacks anybody who points out “serious misconduct” and the
14
15 criminal-minded activities of those who were given supervisor and manager
16 positions by directors like yourself.
17 Decision Dated May 2, 2013

Boyd: “During the meeting, Mr. Waszczuk asserted that the
termination was an act of retaliation that is linked to complaints he
20 made about his supervisors and management staff within PO&M when
working at the Central Plant from 1999 to 2007 and more recent
21 allegations and concerns that he raised in 2010 and 2011. This assertion is
consistent with similar assertions he made in his Step I Appeal and in the
22 documentation provided in the Step II Appeal submittal. He also maintains
that the disciplinary actions have been taken represent a breach of the
23 2009 Settlement-Agreement between him and the University.”
24 My response: The above statement of Boyd’s is a lie. During the meeting, I

25 did not make any assertion that my termination was an act of retaliation linked
26
to the complaint I made about my supervisors and management when working
27
at the Central Plant from 1999 to 2007. I did not file any formal complaint
28

Page 255 of 256
1 against any manager or management when I was working in the Central Plant,
2 and I am not asserting anything what happened prior the signed agreement
3 settlement-agreement in February 2009. I view the period from April 2011 to
4 December 2013 as a time of unspeakable harassment, retaliation, malice,
5
intolerable working conditions, and believe that my suspension from work and
6
the termination of my employment are the result of a vendetta on the part of
7
Witcher and yourself that began in 2006. Furthermore, your decision is a
8
continuance of this vendetta and a gross violation by you and others of the
9
February 2009 signed Settlement-Agreement.
10
11 During our discussion, I pointed out to you the following fragment from
12 Seifert and Oropeza’s report, in order to help you understand how Seifert and
13 Oropeza crafted cause for you to terminate my employment.
14
15 “Mr. Putney reported that Mr. Waszczuk's volume of unprofessional

emails, his filming of employees in the workplace without their consent,
16 the volatile outbursts of anger, and the repeated ethnic slurs towards Mr.
Daniluc's ancestry and the ethnicity of other employees Of Romanian
17 descent created an intolerable, threatening, and harassing work
environment.”
18
19 After I read you this fragment from Oropeza and Seifert’s report, I asked you
20 the following question in relation to Putney’s lies:
21
“Mr. Boyd, you were born in and have lived your entire life in the USA,
22
right?” You answered, “yes.” I then asked you, “Do you know or did you
23
ever hear any ethnic slurs in this country directed against Romanians,
24
similar to nigger, Pollack, wetback, or other such slurs?” You responded
25
26
that you didn’t know, and that you never heard any slurs directed
27 towards Romanians. I responded, “I don’t know either. Did you ask
28 Putney whether he or Daniliuc know any ethnic slurs about Romanians, not to

Page 256 of 257
1 mention Daniluc’s comparison of Mexicans to cockroaches?” This is only one
2 of Putney’s multiple lies, which I provided to you as an example of how the
3 false cause for termination of my employment was built by Nichols, Seifert,
4 and Oropeza upon the request of you and other rotten individuals. My response
5
to Step I of the Appeals process was very detailed and to the point. In addition
6
to my Step II Appeal detailed request and response, after the meeting I sent
7
you the brief and exhibits I wrote and prepared for the California
8
Unemployment Insurance Appeal Board, because you were quite unprepared
9
for the meeting on April 2, 2013.
10
11 I have already decided to spend my entire UC retirement, if necessary and live

12 on my Social Security for the purpose to teach corrupt individuals like you,
13 Witcher, Chillcott, Nichols, Oropeza, Seifert, Lindsey, and a few others an
14 unforgettable lesson in court about the American justice system. In contrast to
15 you and others like you, I believe strongly in the American justice system, and
16
justice must be served. This is my promise, and I always keep my promises. I
17
will make sure you are first in line for deposition out of all the members of this
18
corrupt UCDMC clique, and I will attempt to cause you to change your name
19
and behavior from “Director Boyd” to “Director Void.” For the attempt to
20
provoke me and kill me on May 31, 2011, I will not allow the UCDM HR
21
Death Squad to escape the consequences of this crime.
22
23 Additionally, I am quite surprised that you reduce yourself to the level of

24 people like Daniliuc, Putney, Witcher, and the liars from HR with J.D. degrees.
25 Apparently abused and harassed workers, a twice-convicted child
26 pornography felon accessing company computers, mutilated sheep, goats,
27
ducks, roosters, and defecation on the HVAC shop premises and the Central
28

1 Plant worker suicide does giving you some kind thrill and occasion to be
2 noticed a visible. It really makes me wonder what common ground you
3 Chillcot and Witcher could have with people like Putney, Daniliuc, Curry and
4 child porn convict etc.
5 Revenge and retaliation isn’t wise.
6 See you in court.

705. Plaintiff met Director Boyd one more time after his employment
10
termination due to a scheduled hearing on December 5, 2013 for the Step II Appeal pursuant to
11
12
UC Davis’ Policy PPSM 70.
13 706. On December 5, 2013, exactly one year after the Defendant terminated
14 Plaintiff’s employment, Plaintiff held a meeting with Boyd in the UC Davis Medical Center.
15 Boyd was assigned as the Compliant Resolution Officer (CRO) Step II Reviewer in the Case No.
16 03-PPS-011-12/13. During the meeting, Plaintiff was representing HVAC Technician Dereck
17 Cole in his complaint under UC Davis Policy PPSM 70 for his 2011/2012 “Does Not Meet
18 Expectation Employee Performance Review (Evaluation).” The “Does Not Meet Expectation
19 Evaluation” was basically the last step for the employee to be terminated if he did not improve
20 his performance and behavior and achieve the goals for the next evaluation period, as outlined by
21
the supervisors or managers in the employee evaluations.
22
23 707. Mike Boyd, as Executive Director and Complaint Resolution Officer, and
24 as Plaintiff’s superior, knew that the Employee Performance Reviews (evaluations), mandated by
25 UC Davis Policy PPSM 23, are the most important documents to make a decision in any adverse
26 employer action against an employee, including suspension and employee termination.

27 708. Plaintiff could not find one word about his Employee Performance
28

Page 258 of 259
1 Reviews from 201/2011 and 2011/2012 or about any Performance Reviews from 1999–2012 in
2 Boyds, and his two subordinates, Rush and Pansious, decisions of Plaintiff’s complaint–appeals
3 from the unlawful suspensions and the unlawful employment termination
4 709. Director Boyd should know as Complaint Resolution Officer that Plaintiff
5
advised him in his 24-page letter dated January 28, 2008 how important an Employee
6
Performance Review is in employer-employee relations, as citted in the letter Jensen v. Hewlett-
7
Packard Co., 14 Cal. App. 4th 958, 18 Cal. Rptr. 2d 83 (Cal.App.Dist.4 03/30/1993).
8
710. Regardless of the 2009 Settlement-Agreement that Plaintiff signed with
9
the Defendant, which was despicably violated, breached and disregarded by the Defendant,
10
Director Boyd’s decision in the Step II Appeal further shows that Plaintiff was not given the
11
same chance as Plaintiff’s coworker, Derecek Cole, to whom Plaintiff was provided
12
representation.
13
711. The Defendant simply singled out Plaintiff for termination and did not
14
15 provide him with evaluations for the last two years of his employment mandated by UC Davis
16 Policy PPSM 23, thus maliciously depriving Plaintiff of the UC Davis administrative remedies
17 under UC Davis Policy PPSM 23 and violating his employment and civil rights to be treated
18 equally beside the breaching and violating 2009 Settlement –Agreement

March 2014
12
13
718. On March 11, 2014, Plaintiff sent a letter to the University of California
14
Office of the President (UCOP) Principal Investigator Judith Rosenberg, who had been handling
15
Plaintiff’s whistleblowing retaliation complaint since June 2013. Plaintiff filed the
16
whistleblowing retaliation complaint with the UC Davis Provost and Vice Chancellor’s Office on
17
18 March 7, 2013, after Plaintiff’s employment was terminated by Defendants.
19 719. The purpose of Plaintiff’s March 11, 2014, 10-page-long letter to Judith
20 Rosenberg was to summarize Plaintiffs’ meeting with her, which took place in Defendants’
21 Headquarters in Oakland, California, on February 19, 2014.
22 720. In his letter to Judith Rosenberg, Plaintiff mentioned the interview the UC
23 Davis Assistant Vice Chancellor Dr. Shelton Du ru issea u ga ve to Sacramento African-
24 American magazine Sub Cultural Hub. The interview was conducted by Donna Michelle Ramos
25 on August 6, 2012, and was entitled “A Look Back.”

2 722. Plaintiff in his March 11, 2014, letter to UCOP Investigator Judith
3 Rosenberg wrote:
4
“Shortly after Assistant Vice Chancellor Dr. Shelton Du ru isse au retired, he
5
6 threw a retirement party in his Eldorado Hill residence. The two guests of
7 honor at the party were Mayor of Sacramento Mr. Kevin Johnson and Mr.
8 Shelton Duruisseau’s colleague, UC Davis Medical Center Director Robert
9 Taylor. Besides the lavish retirement party, Dr. Duruisseau gave an interview
10 to Sacramento African-American magazine Sub Cultural Hub. The interview

11 was conducted by Donna Michelle Ramos on August 6, 2012, and was entitled
12 “A look back.”
13
14 While reading the “A look back” interview with Dr. Duruisseau, a few
15
statements caught my attention. The first statement that caught my attention
16
was:
17
18 “Internally, I convinced the university to build its own central plant

because we recognized our patients come into the hospital on ventilators,
19 etc. They couldn’t be disrupted, so by having our own central plant the
health system doesn’t depend on any central outfit to supply water, power,
20 etc. SMUD, PG&E are backup systems for us. We sold enough power to
the State for the central plant to be paid for in the first four years. Lots of
21 energy companies like Enron all around the country caused prices to go
up. The plant provides stable power for the campus without interruption
22 and without blackouts. This plant was built out for 50 years capacity; we
are only using 9%, so we have lots of room built in for growth.”
23
24
25
26 I am very skeptical about Dr. Duraisseau’s statement that the Central Plant sold
27
enough energy in its first four years of operation to cover the cost of building
28

Page 263 of 264
1 the Central Plant. As I recall, the contract to sell power to the electrical grid
2 was in limbo, and at that point the Central Plant did not make much money
3 from power sale. At night time we were giving away 2 MW of power for free
4 to SMUD to keep Central Plant’s 25 MW gas engine operational. The
5
statement that the plant was built for 50 years of capacity and that we are using
6
9% of it translate into the fact that UC invested $70 million or more, yet a large
7
part of this investment is frozen for many years to come. This is obviously an
8
enormous waste of millions of dollars to build something that can’t be utilized
9
fully. Apparently, the decision makers whose names appear on the plaque
10
located in the entry to the Central Plant did not have any clue what UC Davis
11
Medical needed with regard to demand for electric and thermal energy. The
12
names mentioned on the plaque are UC Davis Chancellor Larry N. Vanderhoef
13
(retired), UC Davis Medical Center Director Hospital and Clinic Frank J.
14
15 Lodge, Associate Director Shelton Duruisseau Ph. D., Manager of Plant
16 Operation and Maintenance Department Tony Moddessette MBA, Project
17 Manager and Principal Engineer Mike Lewis, Construction Manager David
18 DeRusso, and Principal Engineer from Brown and Caldwell James L. Bartlett.
19
20 Apparently, in 1998 Dr. Duraisseau and Project Manager Mr. Mike Lewis had
21 no clue what a cogeneration facility stands for and what criteria such a facility
22 must meet to be in compliance with federal law (FERC).
23
24
By reading the 2012 “A look back” interview and seeing Dr. Duraisseau’s
25
name on the plaque in the Central Plant, it is not difficult to conclude that the
26
Central Plant for him and others was like a sacred and untouchable place built
27
for future generations to remember “great” UC Davis leaders. However, the
28

Page 264 of 265
1 Central Plant lacked safety for employees and caused massive contamination
2 of the natural environment by discharging leaking machine oil from defective
3 leaking cooling tower gearboxes to the city storm drain (river) for seven years.
4 ‘From the Dr. Duraisseau’s interview was not difficult for Plaintiff to
5
determine and conclude that the UC Davis 27 MW cogeneration power plant
6
named Central Plant by the Defendants did not meet requirements of Federal
7
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Public Utility Regulatory
8
Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) which mandated that any cogeneration facility
9
certified and recognized by law as “the qualified cogeneration facility” must
10
meet special requirements in the ratio between electric energy production and
11
thermal energy production.
12
723. When UCOP Investigator Judith Rosenberg, as a ve ry ex pe rien ced
13
a ttorney and in ve stiga tor read Plaintiff’s letter and statement about the UC Davis Assistant
14
15 Vice Chancellor Dr. Shelton Du ru isse au ’s in te rv ie w, she had no p rob lem figu rin g ou t

21 724. Plaintiff is familiar with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s
22 (FERC’s) regulation and the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) because
23 prior to his employment with UC Davis Medical Center, Plaintiff worked for a private corporation
24
with a similar cogeneration facility that did not meet FERC and PURPA requirements to be
25
certified as a “qualified cogeneration facility.” Plaintiff’s previous employer committed enormous
26
fraud against Pacific Gas and Electric Company ratepayers and settled out of court for $100
27
million. The $100 million fraud occurred after only six years of unlawful cogeneration facility
28

Page 265 of 266
1 operations similar to those of UC Davis Medical Center’s cogeneration power plant.
2 725. It was also not difficult to determine for UCOP Principal Investigator
3 Judith Rosenberg that the UC Davis Medical Center cogeneration’s primary purpose was
4 providing utility for UC Davis Medical Center because instead of to generate millions of dollars
5
in profit from the sale of electric power to the public utilities companies or an on-the-spot sale in
6
the open market .
7
8
726. Besides the letter to the UCOP Investigator, on March 17, 2014, Plaintiff
9
sent a six-page letter to Sac Cultural Hub Senior Staff Writer/News Reporter Donna Michelle
10
Ramos about her August 6, 2012, interview with UC Davis Assistant Vice Chancellor Dr.
11
Shelton Du ru isseau .
12
13 “A few days ago, I wrote letters to two UC Office of the Presidents’ officials,
14 Principal Investigator Ms. Judith Rosenberg and UC Senior Vice President
15
Dan Dooley, and I mentioned your interview with Mr. Shelton Duruisseau in

my letter because Mr. Shelton Duruisseau made a statement about the UC
17
Davis Medical Center Central Plant where I was employed for several years. I
18
am enclosing both letters for context.”
19
727. Even after the reading Dr. Shelton Du ruisse au ’s u n in te ntiona l

27 728. Plaintiff during his employment with UC Davis Medical Center was not
28 interested in ever looking into the issue of whether or not the Central Plant was being operated

Page 266 of 267
1 according to the FERC regulations law and PURPA requirements. Plaintiff was concern about
2 safety in the first few years of his employment in Central Plant because the plant in some areas
3 was unsafe for operating personnel.
4 729. Plaintiff lost employment for one year after reporting his previous
5
employer for fraud during a dispute involving $27,000 in unpaid overtime wages due to Plaintiff.
6
The dispute caused Plaintiff and his family a lot of suffering and bankruptcy.
7
730. Furthermore, the UC Davis Medical Center cogeneration facility was built
8
and commissioned in 1998, at a time when the electric power market in the State of California
9
had become the subject of deregulation, and Plaintiff never would have thought that the FERC
10
and PURPA law and regulations were still applicable to the UC Davis Medical Central Plant’s
11
electric power production and sale.
12
731. Besides the above, Plaintiff thought the FERC regulations and PURPA
13
law were not applicable to the University of California because of the University’s great
14
15 autonomy and independence from the state and federal laws and regulations.
16 732. Even if Plaintiff would have thought about the Central Plant’s PURPA
17 qualification, Plaintiff was not willing to spend his own $10,000 and lose his job again at his
18 age for the purpose of filing a complaint with FERC in an attempt to nullify the Central Plant
19 certification issued by FERC and obtained by Defendants in the self-certification process (if
20 any). Also, it would never would crossed Plaintiff’s mind that Defendants committed fraud
21 against another entity in the same manner that Plaintiff’s previous employer did because Central
22 Plant was built to provide utility for UC Davis Medical Center and that surplus energy should be
23 sold because electric energy cannot to be stored like the other product.
24
733. The previous Plaintiff’s employer committed an enormous $100,000,000
25
fraud against Pacific Gas and Electric Company ratepayers in 1989–1996, violating the PURPA
26
mandated requirements for operating a cogeneration facility.
27
734. The March 11, 2014, letter to the UCOP Principal Investigator Judith
28

Page 267 of 268
1 Rosenberg was the first time Plaintiff had thought of and suspected Defendants’ violation of
2 FERC regulations and PURPA law, but Plaintiff was so quickly distracted by Defendants, the
3 State of California Attorney General Deputy Ashante Norton who was legal counsel for CUIAB
4 and by his own attorney, Douglas Stein, that Plaintiff even did not think to check FERC
5
website to find out whether the UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant was certified and
6
considered a Qualified Facility (QF) under FERC regulations and PURPA law. The Central Plant
7
lost power sale contract in 2003 or 2004 and was losing millions of dollars every year because
8
could not sell surplus power.
9
735. When Plaintiff was hired by Defendants in June 1999 as a UC Davis
10
Medical Central Plant Operator, the plant was unsafe for personnel to operate because it was
11
commissioned unfinished, and Plaintiff only cared about his own safety and that of his
12
coworkers. Plaintiff did not want to get hurt or see his coworker die because the plant was unsafe
13
to operate and the belligerent department management completely ignored safety suggestions to
14
15 improve situation and Plaintiff was threatened with employment termination when Plaintiff
16 asked his manager to do something about.
17 After the Letter
18 736. After Plaintiff wrote the letter to UCOP Investigator Judith Rosenberg on
19 March 11, 2014, and Sac Cultural Hub Senior Staff Writer/News Reporter Donna Michelle
20 Ramos on March 17, 2014, Defendants reacted sharply and went viral to divert Plaintiff’s
21 attention from the huge 70 million profits generated by the Central Plant from electrical energy
22 sale in 1999-2003 which was disclosed by UC Davis Assistant Vice Chancellor Dr. Shelton
23 Du ru isseau in h is in te rv ie w with Donn a Ram os.
24
737. On March 20, 2014 Plaintiff received e-mail correspondence from UC
25
Davis Health System Human Resource (HR) Labor Relations Manager Travis Lindsey. More
26
than two years after Plaintiff’s employment termination, attempted to advise Plaintiff of where
27
Plaintiff should send information about Defendants and where not to send it. Plaintiff responded
28

Page 268 of 269
1 to Travis Lindsey’s advice by explaining that he belonged to the Federal Penitentiary Facility for
2 what he had done with other individuals like him to Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s co-workers in 2012.
3 However, in March 2014, Plaintiff did not connect Travis Lindsey’s strange e-mail
4 correspondence to the UC Davis Assistant Vice Chancellor Dr. Shelton Duru isseau ’s
5
in tervie w with Do nna Ram os and Pla in tiff’s le tte r to h er.
6
735. In March 2014, Plaintiff was not aware that Superior Court Judge Hon.
7
Shelleyanne W.L. Chang was signed to the Plaintiff Writ of Mandamus Case just a few days
8
after Plaintiff wrote the letter to Judith Rosenberg.
9
736. Even Plaintiff would know in March 2014 about Hon. Shelleyanne
10
Chang’s assignment to Plaintiff’s Writ of Mandamus case that it would not make any difference
11
for Plaintiff because Plaintiff was represented by an attorney in Writ of Mandamus case, and
12
Plaintiff did not know many other facts that were negatively impactful or were damaging to
13
Plaintiff’s court complaints against Defendants.
14
15 737. In March 2014, Plaintiff was also not aware of the fact that on February
16 24, 2014, the attorney in the unrelated Plaintiff’s wrongful termination case pending in the same
17 Sacramento Superior Court (Janet Keyzer v. The Regents of the University of California, Case
18 No. 34-2010-00079869-CU-WT-GDS) filed a Plaintiff’s Peremptory Challenge (CCP § 170.6)
19 against Judge Shelleyanne Chang in which Attorney Mary -Alice Coleman declared that:
20
“The Honorable Shelleyanne W. L. Chang, the Judge before whom the
21
trial in the aforesaid matter is pending or to whom the aforesaid trial is
22
assigned, is prejudiced against me or Plaintiff so that Plaintiff cannot or I
23
believe that Plaintiff cannot have a fair and impartial hearing before this
24
25 Judge.”
26 It is happened shortly prior Hon. Shelleyanne Chang’s assignment to Plaintiff’s
27 Writ of Mandamus Petition case.
28 738. Hon. Shelleyanne Chang has been the subject of a Peremptory Challenge

Page 269 of 270
1 in Janet Keyzer’s wrongful termination case against the same Defendant as in Plaintiff’s
2 wrongful termination case and the Real Party of Interest in the Writ of Mandamus case.
3 739. Besides the Judge Shelleyanne Chang was not only judge in the
4 Scaramanto Superior Court to handle Writs of Mandamus. The three other judges from the
5
Sacramento Superior Court were handling Writs of Mandamus in the County of Sacramento
6
Superior Court: Hon. Timothy M. Frawley from Department 29, Hon. Michael P. Kenny from
7
Department 31, and Hon. Christopher E. Krueger.
8
740. Furthermore, nothing would be unusual or suspicious about reassigning
9
Plaintiff’s Writ of Mandamus case to Judge Shelleyanne Chang if Hon. Judge Shelleyanne
10
Chang and CUIAB Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) Marylyn Tays would not work
11
together in the Office of Legal Affairs of Governor Gray Davis.
12
741. Administrative Law Judge Marilyn Tays was outrageously biased against
13
Plaintiff during the conducted hearing on March 13, 2013. ALJ Marilyn Tays’ disrespectful
14
15 attitude toward Plaintiff and his witnesses could best be described with her statement after
16 Plaintiff made a statement about his coworker’s suicide, caused by Defendants’ hostile working
17 environment. ALJ Marilyn Tays responded: “All right, I guess he is not here.” When Plaintiff
18 heard this, I had no doubt where ALJ Marilyn Tays was going with her hearing.
19 742. Furthermore, Hon. Shelleyanne Chang, besides working together with

20 ALJ Marilyn Tays in the Office of the Legal Affairs of Governor Gray Davis, graduated from
21 the same University of the Pacific McGeorge School of Law as ALJ Marilyn Tays in the same
22 time period of 1991, Both were admitted to the State Bar of California six months apart.
23 743. Furthermore, Hon. Shelleyanne Chang graduated in the same time period
24
of 1991 from the same University of the Pacific George School of Law as UC Davis Health
25
System and UC Davis Medical Center Chief Counsel Anna Orlowski. Both Hon. Shelleyanne
26
Chang and Chief Counsel Anna Orlowski were admitted to the State Bar of California in
27
December 1991.
28

Page 270 of 271
1 744. After Hon. Shelleyanne Chang in March 2015 denied Plaintiff’s Writ of
2 Mandamus Petition after Plaintiff’s oral arguments, the victimized Plaintiff had no doubt that
3 Hon. Shelleyanne Chang’s ruling had nothing to do with State of California justice system but
4 rather to support the Defendants attempted to escape liability for not only Plaintiff’s wrongful
5
termination .
6
April 2014
7
8
745. Following the March 2014 Hon. Shelleyanne Chang reassignment, Travis
9
Lindsey’s email correspondence, and Plaintiff’s letters to UCOP Investigator
10
Judith Rosenberg ,the California Deputy Attorney General Ashante L. Norton, who represents
11
CUIAB as a Legal Counsel , filed on April 1, 2014, a frivolous Notice of Demurrer in Plaintiff’s
12
Writ of Mandamus case to distract Plaintiff and made Plaintiff forget about UC Davis Assistant
13
Vice Chancellor Dr. Shelton Du ru isse au ’s in te rv ie w with Donn a Ram os.
14
15 746. On April 17, 2014, Defendants as the Real Party in Interest in the Writ of
16 Mandamus case filed in the court a Joinder supporting CUIAB’s legal counsel Notice of
17 Demurer. Defendants’ Joinder supporting CUIAB Demurer would perhaps not been strange to
18 Plaintiff if the four top-notch attorneys from the UC Office of the General Counsel had not
19 appeared on Joinder pleading, including Charles F. Robinson, UCOP General Counsel; Karen J.
20 Petrulakis, UCOP Chief Deputy General Counsel; Cynthia A. Vroom, UCOP Senior Counsel;
21 and Margaret L Wu, UCOP Managing Counsel.
22 747. Writ of Mandamus for the unemployment insurance benefits is not the
23 million-dollar case that required the involvement of the four top-notch legal counsels from the
24
UC Office of the General Counsel, especially the UC General Counsel Charles F. Robinson,
25
reports directly to UC Regents.
26
748. In addition to the above, in January 2015, Plaintiff filed an Objection to
27
the Defendants’ Anti-SLAPP Motion and included the Assistant Vice Chancellor Dr. Shelton
28

3 2 012 in terv ie w ab ou t th e UC Da vis Med ic a l Cen tra l Plan t with Sacramento African-
4 American magazine Sub Cultural Hub.
5
749. Defendant objected Plaintiff’s abovementioned exhibits. However, the
6
Court overruled Defendants’ objection. It is worth mentioning that Dr. Shelton Duru isse au ,
7
b eside h is po sition as an Asso cia te Vic e Cha nce llor, wa s a lso ap po in te d by Sta te
8
o f Ca lifo rn ia Go ve rn or Arno ld Sch warzen egg e r to the Ca lifornia Med ica l Bo ard .
9
750. In April 2014, Plaintiff was not aware that UC General Counsel Charles
10
Robinson, prior to joining the University in January 2007, served as Vice President, General
11
Counsel, and Corporate Secretary for the California Independent System Operator Corporation
12
(ISO), California’s wholesale electric transmission operator, based in Folsom, California, in
13
2000–2007. It is worth mentioning that the California Independent System Operator Board of
14
15 Governors members and the members of the Board of University of California Reagents are
16 nominated by the governor of California and confirmed by the State of California Senate.
17 751. In 1999–2003 ISO was the distributor of electric power sold by UC Davis
18 Medical Center Central Plant on the open market. Plaintiff was employed in the UC Davis
19 Medical Center Central Plant by Defendants from June 1999 to March 2007.
20 752. The UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant in 1999–2003 was selling
21 power at the highest bids on the spot in the market via ISO exactly in same way as Enron or
22 former Plaintiff employer Dynegy, manipulating power and causing a rolling shortage of energy
23 in the State of California and rolling blackouts.
24 753. Defendant were manipulating the electric power sale on a small scale in
25 comparison to Enron or Dynegy, but even selling 15 MW was enough to provide electricity for
26 15,000 people. In 2002, the former Plaintiff employer Dynegy and 10 other energy suppliers that
27 contributed to California’s energy crisis and rolling blackouts were fined with small fines in the
28

Page 272 of 273
1 amount of $122 million dollars. Dynegy and others probably would not pay the fines if their
2 Board of Director members would be nominated by the State of California Governor, like ISO’s
3 Board of Governors and members of the Board of University of California Regents.
4
754. At the same time in January 2007, when Charles Robinson joined the
5
University, Plaintiff became a subject of Defendants’ despicable attacks, not knowing why he
6
was being attacked, and in March 2007, Plaintiff was suspended from work and was abruptly
7
removed from the Central Plant and reassigned to the UC Davis Medical Center HVAC shop
8
with the threat of employment termination. Three months later, Plaintiff received his annual
9
10 employee performance review (evaluation) for 2006–2007, and Plaintiff’s evaluation looked
11 nothing like what happened in 2006–2007 in contrary to the suspension and reassignment March
12 2007 letter that defaced and defamed Plaintiff.
13 755. In January 2007, Charles Robinson joined the University as the General
14 Counsel, and he knew all of the secrets about the UC Davis Medical Center 27 MW cogeneration
15 facility’s electric power production, distribution, and sale via California Independent System
16 Operator (ISO).
V. CONCLUSION
17
18
19 756. The reason for Defendant’ despicable conspiracy against Plaintiff did not
20 cross Plaintiff’s mind until June 2015 during Plaintiff’s preparation to file Plaintiff’s Opposition
21 to the Defendant’ Legal Fees and Cost in relation to Defendant’ Anti- Strategic Lawsuit Against
22 Public Participation (SLAPP) Motion.
23 757. Plaintiff did not had a clue that Plaintiff’s victory in 2008 arbitration
24 against Defendant —which ended with the 2009 Settlement-Agreement that Plaintiff signed with
25 Defendant—was signed by Defendant in evil spirit and bad faith. The arbitration and the
26 Settlement –Agreement was just a short and unexpected delay for the Defendant before the
27 Defendant exercised and launched a second preemptive retaliatory strike against Plaintiff to end
28 Plaintiff’s employment with the University of California which orchestrated by UC Davis Health

Page 273 of 274
1 System Human Resourced Executive Director Stephen Chilcott and few other and UC Office
2 of the President officials including and not limited to UC General Counsel Charles Robinson
3 and his Deputy Steven Drown who signed the Settlement- Agreement on behalf of UC Regents
4 in February 2009.
5
6 VI. FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION

[BREACH OF WRITTEN CONTRACT]
7
8 759. The First Cause of Action in this THIRD AMENDED COMPLAINT is

9 the PRIMARY CAUSE OF ACTION, which is a violation and breach of contract by the
10 Defendant, THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA (UC) (hereafter
11 Defendant). The February 2009 contract was entitled by the Defendants the SETTLEMENT
12 AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE.
13 760. In February 2009, Defendants solicited and signed Settlement Agreement
14 with the Plaintiff, JAROSLAW WASZCZUK, (hereafter Plaintiff). Per Settlement Agreement,
15 the Defendant agreed to employ Plaintiff in the exempt position of Associate Development
16 Engineer with an annual base salary of $70,000.00 (seventy thousand dollars) since February
17 2009.
18 761. In 2009, Defendants erroneously misclassified Plaintiff’s salary in the
19 signed Settlement –Agreement, stating that they would instead provide Plaintiff with a salary of
20 $71,640/year pursuant to UC Davis Title Code 7182, the Middle Step Salary Grade. The
21 Defendant provided to Plaintiff with a salary to the amount of $70,000/year, which does not
22 exist in the UC Davis Title Code 7182.
23 762. In March 2011, Plaintiff asked the Defendants for a one-step pay increase
24 under the UC Davis Title Code from the Middle Step of $71,640 to the 3rd Step Salary Grade of
25 $80,922.00.
26 763. However, it is for the Court and Jury to decide whether Plaintiff was
27 entitled to a salary increase according to the UC Davis Title Code 7182 for the Associate
28

Page 274 of 275
1 Development Engineer position or whether Defendant was not obligated to increase the
2 Plaintiff’s salary according to the UC Davis or University of California pay policies and Title
3 Codes or by the Settlement-Agreement is governing the Plaintiff’s salary.
4 764. In May 2011, the Defendants corrected Plaintiff’s salary pursuant to UC
5 Davis Title Code 7182, Middle Salary – Grade $71, 600 /year without correcting the Settlement -
6 Agreement or retroactively altering the pay difference from February 2009 to May 2011 instead
7 of the 3rd Step Salary Grade of $80,922.00.
8 765. Instead of the 3rd Step Salary Grade Increase, Plaintiff, in May 2011,
9 experienced an unthinkable attack by the Defendants, including sabotaging Plaintiff’s job and
10 having a manager stalk Plaintiff in an attempt to force Plaintiff to quit his job and to prepare for
11 the termination of the Plaintiff’s employment at the HVAC Shop.
12 766. Per the Settlement Agreement, Plaintiff agreed to work at the UC Davis
13 Medical Center, Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) shop in good faith and
14 agreed not to sue Defendants for the adverse unlawful retaliatory actions that the Defendants
15 took against Plaintiff between 2006 and 2008.
16 767. However, the Defendants in 2011–2012 entirely disregarded, breached,
17 and violated the signed settlement, turning Plaintiff’s livelihood into a living hell and terminating
18 Plaintiff without a valid reason on December 7, 2012, thus causing Plaintiff enormous financial
19 losses estimated at approximately one million dollars in wages and benefits alone, not to
20 mention other damages to which Plaintiff is entitled as a result of the suffering caused by the
21 inhumane adverse actions of Defendant against Plaintiff during the course of Plaintiff’s
22 employment with the University of California and after Plaintiff’s employment termination.
23 768. Plaintiff refers to the allegations contained in the paragraphs, including
24 subparagraphs 1 through 760, inclusive, and incorporates each by reference as though fully set forth at
25 length herein.
26 769. The contract between the Plaintiff and the Defendants is and was at all relevant
27 times a written contract. The written contract is attached to this complaint as Exhibit 1. Plaintiff hereby
28

Page 275 of 276
1 incorporates into this complaint each term, condition, and paragraph of the contract as required by law.
2 Pursuant to the contract entitled SETTLEMENT- AGREEMENT, Defendants promised Plaintiff an
3 exempt position in the UC Davis Medical Center HVAC /Plumbing Shop with the title of Assistant
4 Development Engineer after Plaintiff prevailed in November 2008 in the arbitration process against
5 Defendants after Defendant made an attempt to terminate unsuccessfully Plaintiff’s employment in 2007.
6 770. In 2009, Plaintiff understood and still understands that by signing the
7 Settlement –Agreement with the Defendant, any differences or problems which arose during the
8 course of the Plaintiff’s employment with Defendants would be resolved in good faith by both
9 parties and that the parties would inform each other about any suspected, occurred, alleged, or
10
implied violation or breach of the signed Settlement – Agreement before the parties exercise
11
legal remedies to enforce the Settlement Agreement or change the venue of the Settlement
12
Agreement pursuant to §16. MODIFICATIONS IN WRITING ONLY.
13
771. This document may not be modified except by written amendment,
14
characterized as such and signed by the parties.; § 20 CALIFORNIA LAW This Agreement is
15
made and entered into in the State of California and shall in all respects be interpreted and
16
enforced in accordance with California law and § 21 BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement
17
shall bind the heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assignments of each party and inure
18
to the benefit of each party its heirs.
19
20 772. Plaintiff in November 2008 did not realize that the prevailing, in
21 arbitration, and signing the Settlement – Agreement in February 2009 in good faith with the
22 Defendant was only a short time before Defendants would carry out their evil-spirited plan to
23 terminate the Plaintiff’s employment. The Plaintiff outlined and described the extreme,
24 outrageous, atrocious, and utterly intolerable conduct of the Defendants in paragraphs and
25 subparagraphs 1 through 144.
26 773. The Defendant, the Regents of the University of California, by and through its
27 own employees, agents, and officers, kept Plaintiff out of the workplace for over one year for no apparent
28

Page 276 of 277
1 reason. Defendants placed Plaintiff on Investigatory Leaves, Administrative Leaves, yet the evidence
2 shows, beyond a shadow of a doubt that UC DAVIS was intentionally keeping plaintiff out of the work
3 location promised in the contract and was waiting to find a pretext or basis to terminate Plaintiff’s
4 employment. This happened for only one reason: because Defendant negotiated the long-awaited power
5 sale contract for UC Davis Medical Center Central Plant with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District.
6 The Defendants apparently were falsely informed through their employees, agents, and officers that
7 Plaintiff was an imminent threat to their obtaining the long awaited and profitable power sale contract.
8 774. After keeping Plaintiff out of the work place for almost one year, the Defendants
9 could not find the pretext or basis to terminate Plaintiff because there were none. They then ordered their
10 own employees, agents, and officers to exercise the criminally minded plan to provoke and assassinate
11 Plaintiff on May 31, 2012, using the UC Davis Police force.
12 775. The Defendants plan failed. The Defendant then made the attempt to repeat the
13 May 31, 2012, heinous plan to kill Plaintiff in September 2012 but the plan was canceled because Plaintiff
14 warned Defendant and Defendant’s agents and officers on September 10, 2012 that Plaintiff was aware
15 that May 31, 2012, was the date that the Defendants’ unsuccessful provocation was ill crafted to harm
16 Plaintiff.
17 776. According to the Settlement-Aagreement, §19 MUTUAL NON-
18 DISPARAGEMENT neither the Plaintiff nor the Defendants were to disparage each other. Plaintiff at all
19 times expressed his good faith beliefs in the truth. When, in reality, Plaintiff was a valuable employee,
20 who had the best interests of the hospital always in mind, the Defendants not only disparaged Plaintiff
21 but made Plaintiff look like the most-wanted criminal.
22 777. In September 2012, two month before Plaintiff’s employment termination, the
23 Defendant ordered own officers, agents, and UC Davis Police to issue a poster similar to the FBI’s “Most
24 Wanted” criminals posters with Plaintiff’s photo and description on. The issued UC Davis Police
25 poster was distributed around UC Davis Campuses without informing Plaintiff about it. The Defendants
26 wrongfully terminated Plaintiff’s employment on December 7, 2012.
27 778. The written Settlement - Agreement contains an implied covenant of good
28

Page 277 of 278
1 faith and fair dealing or an understanding that neither party will do anything unlawful and/or take
2 action that undermines and/or deprives plaintiff of one or more of the benefit of the bargain.
3 Further to this, as long as Plaintiff performed his duties in a manner that met or exceeded
4 expectations, he would be entitled to work and remain in the job until his retirement age.
5 779. The Defendants breached this contract by subjecting the 60-year-old
6 Plaintiff to a hostile work environment and psychological terror. This terror was carried out and
7 orchestrated by the Defendant’s own agents and officers for over one year, including keeping
8 plaintiff away from the workplace for over one year, retaliating for no reason whatsoever against
9 Plaintiff, and terminating his employment without one single statement, word ,allegation, or
10 notification in the April 2012 Notice of Intent to Suspend, the May 2012 Letter of Suspension, the
11 September 25, 2012 Notice of Intent to Terminate Plaintiff Employment, the December 5, 2012
12 Letter of Termination, and five bogus pseudo investigation reports that the Defendants’ officers
13 fabricated as a cause for Plaintiff employment termination without one word in reports that
14 Plaintiff breached the signed contract thereby defacing and defaming Plaintiff.
15 The aforementioned acts constitute material breaches of the contract.
16 780. Plaintiff seeks and is entitled to all special and consequential damages as allowed
17 by law, including but not limited to lost income, benefits, that Plaintiff would have enjoyed as an exempt
18 employee under the written contract. The contract provides for and Plaintiff seeks costs as well as
19 attorney fees.
20 781 Due to breach and violation of the contract and wrongful termination of Plaintiff
21 employment, Plaintiff prays for the Judgment against the Defendants for monetary and punitive damages
22 due to Plaintiff as follows:
23 The 2011 Plaintiff’s Losses Due to Breach and Violation of the Contract by Defendants
24
782. The 2011 Plaintiff’s annual base salary was $71,600 and Defendant paid
25
26 to Plaintiff only $63,271.60.
27
783. The Plaintiff loss of 2011 base salaries earnings were $8,328.40 plus 10% daily
28

Page 278 of 279
1 compound interest for the time period until the Defendants pay the damages. The Plaintiff’s loss of
2 income in the above-mentioned amount occurred and are due to Plaintiff because of the Defendants’
3 despicable retaliatory action against Plaintiff by keeping Plaintiff out of the premises on administrative
4 leave without pay and denying him short-term disability benefits in conspiracy with Liberty Assurance
5 Company of Boston.
6 784. In addition to the base $ 8,328.40 salary loss, Defendant shall compensate
7 Plaintiff for 158.69 hours of accrued sick leave and 163 hours of vacation at the rate of $34.31/hour in
8 the amount of $11,037.00 plus 10% daily compound interest for the time period until the Defendants pay
9 the damages. Plaintiff would have used his accrued sick leave and vacation hours due to the enormous
10 infliction of emotional distress caused by the Defendants’ despicable and inhumane harassment.
11 THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Defendants pay total due to Plaintiff for 2011 in sum of
12 $19,365.58 plus 10% daily compound interest for the time period until the Defendants pay to Plaintiff
13 the requested amount.
14 The 2012 Plaintiff’s Losses Due to Breach and Violation of the Contract by Defendants
15
16 785. The Plaintiff’s loss due to breach of contract in 2012 involved base salary
17 earnings of $8,882.00 plus 10% daily compound interest for the time period until the Defendants pay to
18 Plaintiff the requested amount.
19 44.28 hours at a rate of $34.31/hour were accrued or would have been accrued in sick leave if
20 the Defendants had not breached the contract and if Plaintiff had been employed by the Defendants.
21 44.28 hour x $34.1 = $1,519.20 plus 10% daily compound interest for the time period until the
22 Defendants pay Plaintiff the requested amount.
23 THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Defendants pay total due to Plaintiff for
24 2012 in sum of $10,401.20 plus 10% daily compound interest for the time period until the Defendants

28

Page 279 of 280
full Social Security Retirement at Age 66 on May 30, 2017 or December 31, 2017.
1
2 786. The Plaintiff’s base salary earning from January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2017,
3 would be $358,200 if the Defendants had not breached the contract, and Plaintiff would have earned the
4 above amount until Plaintiff retired at the age of 66 and a half on December 31, 2017, as Plaintiff planned
5 to do.
6 787. The Plaintiff’s earning would be higher if Plaintiff were to receive pay raises in
7 this period or if the Defendants would reclassify Plaintiff’s annual salary. The Middle Salary Grade for
8 Associate Development Engineer pursuant to the UC Davis Title Code 7182 has been changed
9 effective July 1, 2014 from $ 71,640.00 to $76,600.00 annually.
10 $71,640 base annual salary x 5 years = $358,200. Plaintiff would earn this if
11 employed by the Defendants plus 10% daily compound interest for the time period until the Defendants
12 pay the requested amount.
13 THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Defendants pay total due to Plaintiff in sum of
14 $358,200 plus 10% daily compound interest
15 788. The 221.4 hours of accrued sick leave and 886.2 hours of accrued vacation
16 at a pay rate of $34.31 = $38,001.00. Plaintiff would earn this if employed by the Defendant plus
17 10% daily compound interest for the time period until the Defendants pay the requested amount.
18 THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Defendants pay total due to Plaintiff in sum of
19 $38.001 plus 10% daily compound interest
20
21 The Plaintiff’s University of California Retirement Income and Plaintiff Social

Security Benefits Income
22
23
789. Defendants breached the signed contract with Plaintiff and unlawfully
24
terminated Plaintiff on December 7, 2012 at the age of 61 and a half. The Plaintiff, at age 61 and
25
a half, was not eligible to receive even the earlier Social Security income benefits for which
26
Plaintiff could apply in May 2013. For the full Social Security income benefit would have work
27
until year 2017.
28

Page 280 of 281
1 790. Besides the Social Security income, Defendant slandered and defaced
2 Plaintiff with State Of California Employment Development, and Plaintiff was denied
3 Unemployment Insurance benefit, thus the Defendant left Plaintiff without any income. The
4 Defendant caused Plaintiff to be denied unemployment insurance benefits for only one reason: to
5 justify retaliation against Plaintiff. However, Defendants forgot about the signed contract that
6 governed Plaintiff’s employment since February 2009 and which was grossly breached by the
7 Defendant.
791. Besides breaching the contract, the Defendants violated the Skelly Law
8
9 and terminated the 61-and-a-half-year-old Plaintiff without the possibility of the Plaintiff being
10 hired by any employer at his age, thus depriving Plaintiff of any income until Plaintiff received
11
earlier retirement Social Security income benefit at age of 62 or the University Retirement
12
Benefits.
13
14 In Skelly v. State Personnel Board (1975) 15 Cal. 3d 194, the California

15 Supreme Court ruled that: "as part of constitutionally guaranteed due process,
16 public employees are entitled to certain procedural safeguards before discipline
17
which is sufficiently severe to constitute a deprivation of a liberty or property
18
right is imposed on them. The constitutionally protected liberty interests
19
requiring Skelly protections arise whenever the allegations against an employee
20
are sufficiently onerous to seriously impact the employee's ability to find future
21
work in his/her chosen career."
22
23 792. By Breaching contract and violating the Skelly Law, the Defendants
24 terminated Plaintiff without the possibility of finding other employment at his age and with his
25 health. They denied Plaintiff’s unemployment insurance benefits, thus Plaintiff was left without
26 any income, health insurance, or life insurance.
27 793. n such a situation, Plaintiff was forced to cash out a lump sum from his
28

Page 281 of 282
1 taxable University Retirement Benefits to the amount of $300,000 to maintain his and his spouse’s
2 life at as normal a level as possible for the next few years.
3 794. If the Defendant had not terminated Plaintiff’s employment in December
4 2012 and had employed Plaintiff until 2017, Plaintiff would have had a monthly income to the
5 amount of $2,521 from his University Retirement, which would combine with his $2,105 Social
6 Security income.
7 795. If Plaintiff had been employed until the age of 66, he would have decided
8 to cash out his University Retirement in a lump sum of cash to the amount of $349,057 or more,
9 and accordingly, $397,510, if Plaintiff had been employed until the age of 70.
10 796. The University of California retirees are eligible for medical, dental,
11 vision, legal, and AD&D benefits if they opt into the monthly income retirement benefit instead
12 of receiving a lump sum cash out.
13 Furthermore, any University employee is eligible for retirement benefits in the form of a monthly
14
income or lump sum cash out if employed with the University for least five years and is 59 and a
15
half years old. The Defendants unlawfully terminated Plaintiff’s employment five years prior to
16
his being fully eligible for Social Security Retirement.
17
THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Defendants shall compensate Plaintiff to an
18
amount that is equal to the retirement benefits for five years of employment, or $97,510,
19
whichever is greater.
20
797. The Defendants, due to their breaching contract, unlawfully terminating
21
Plaintiff in December 2012, and forcing Plaintiff to take Social Security benefits income at age
22
62.
23
THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Defendants , shall pay Plaintiff the difference
24
between the Plaintiff’s earlier Social Security income and Plaintiff’s full Social Security income
25
to the amount of $591/ month since June 2013 and until Plaintiff dies or in lump sum for 25 years
26
or 300 months, which is equal to $177, 300, whichever is more convenient for the Defendants to
27
pay.
28

1 The Plaintiff’s Health and Dental Insurance
2
3 798. In 2011, Defendants grossly and despicably breached the contract and
4 performed inhumane harassment of the Plaintiff in an attempt to terminate Plaintiff or force him
5 to quit. The Defendant, through town agents and officers, de-enrolled Plaintiff from the Medical
6 and Dental Health Insurance benefits and denied Plaintiff’s Short Term Disability Insurance
7 benefits when Plaintiff was on stress-related sick leave caused by the Defendants’ agents and
8 officers.
9 799. When Plaintiff noticed in January 2012 that the Defendants had de-enrolled
10 Plaintiff from the Health and Dental Insurance and changed Plaintiff’s position without the
11 Plaintiff’s knowledge from an Associate Development Engineer to Programmer I (Demotion),
12 Plaintiff thought that Plaintiff would be terminated soon and so Plaintiff’s spouse enrolled Plaintiff
13 in her employer Nordstrom’s Corporation Health and Dental Insurance Benefits in January 2012.
14 Thanks to Plaintiff’s wife’s employer, Plaintiff has Health and Dental Insurance coverage
15 including medicine.
16 800. The Defendants re-enrolled Plaintiff into the Health and Dental Plan in
17 January 2012 but Plaintiff did not de-enroll himself from his spouse’s employer health insurance
18 and dental plan because he would be not able to re-enroll if Defendants terminated Plaintiff’s
19 employment, which occurred in December 2012.
20 801. Since February 2012, Plaintiff maintained his health and dental insurance
21 with his spouse’s employer Nordstrom Corporation, and this insurance would be maintained until
22 Plaintiff’s spouse’s retirement in September 2017. This increased the Plaintiff’s spouse’s monthly
23 premium for health and dental insurance from $94.00/month to $382.00/month. The difference
24 in premium, which is $288/month.
25 THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Plaintiff , shall be compensated by the Defendants
26 from February 2012 to September 2017 until Plaintiff’s wife retires from Nordstrom at age 66,
27 which is 56 months x 288= $16,128.00 total sum due to Plaintiff
28

The Plaintiff’s Supplemental Life Insurance, Accidental Death and
2
Dismemberment, and Dependents Life Insurance
3
4 802. For 13 years of employment with the University of California, Plaintiff was
5 paying premiums every paycheck to the amount of $149.90 for Supplemental Life Insurance, A&D,
6 and Dependents Life Insurance, totaling $23,384 in premiums alone for 13 years. Plaintiff was
7 insured by Supplemental Life Insurance to the amount of $280,000, by Accidental Death and
8 Dismemberment Insurance to the amount of $500,000, and by Dependents Life Insurance to the
9 amount of $100,000.
10 803. The Defendants erased the above-mentioned Plaintiff’s benefits due to their
11 reckless violation of a signed contract with Plaintiff and unlawfully terminating Plaintiff’s
12 employment on December 7, 2012, at the of age 61 and a half, knowing that the Plaintiff had had
13 open-heart surgery and other health problems and that Plaintiff, at his age and health, would either
14 not be able to obtain Life Insurance, Accidental Death and Dismemberment, and Dependents Life
15 Insurance at all or, if so, that the premiums would be so high that Plaintiff wouldn’t even be able
16 to dream about having Life Insurance.
17 804. Due to their breach and violation of the signed February 2009 contract with
18 Plaintiff, the Defendants are liable for paying his spouse the mentioned benefits if Plaintiff dies.
19 THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Defendants pay the mentioned benefits to his
20 spouse if the Plaintiff dies.
21 805. The other option is that Plaintiff will find an insurance company that would be
22 willing to provide these benefits to Plaintiff and Defendant will pay the premiums until the
23
Plaintiff dies. EXAMPLE: Banner Life Insurance Company-

26 The Plaintiff’s House in Lodi, California.

27
28

Page 284 of 285
1 806. In 2003, Plaintiff bought a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with a brand
2 new built-in 10” deep swimming pool for the price of $315,000 when house market prices were
3 being manipulated by Banks and Mortgage Companies.
4 807. Plaintiff was able to maintain the high monthly mortgage payment working
5 in the UC Davis Medical Central Plant as an operator with overtime, holiday pay, and shift
6 deferential pay as an extra income.
7 808. In March 2007, the Defendants abruptly and unlawfully removed Plaintiff
8 from the Central Plant and reassigned Plaintiff to UC Davis Medical Center HVAC Shop, thinking
9 that Plaintiff would be interfering with the Defendants efforts to negotiate and obtain millions of
10 dollars from an electric power sale contract with the Sacramento Municipal Utility District
11 (SMUD). The Defendants lost their previous contract in 2003 or 2004 and, since then, have lost
12 millions of dollars in revenue because the surplus energy from the Central Plant was no sold.
13 809. In 2009, Plaintiff signed the Settlement – Agreement (contract) with the
14 Defendants and, in good faith, agreed to work permanently at the UC Davis Medical HVAC shop
15 as an exempt employee and was given an Associate Development Engineer Position by contract.
16 810. In 2011 and 2012, the Defendants recklessly violated and breached the
17 signed contract. In fear and panic after losing his job, Plaintiff sold his house on short sale in fall
18 2012, informing the Defendants about prior to the sale on September 10, 2012 by letter to Brent
19 Seifert ( See page No .171-172) The Defendants did not care about devastating Plaintiff’s or
20 Plaintiff’s spouse’s livelihood or emotions, and the Plaintiff’s spouse had wanted to keep this
21 house for the rest of her life.
22 811. Plaintiff was lucky that two weeks prior to the termination, Plaintiff was
23 able to rent a home with a monthly rent of $1,765.
24 812. Due to losing his house, Plaintiff has no tax deduction and is paying huge
25 amounts of taxes, draining his University Retirement instead of having a tax return.
26 813. Due to the breach of contract and unlawfully terminating Plaintiff’s
27 employment, the Defendants are fully liable for the Plaintiff’s lost house and the fact that he and
28

Page 285 of 286
1 his spouse are devastated financially and emotionally.
2 THEREFORE, Plaintiff prays that Defendants pay $450,000 for inflicted damages in
3 relation to Plaintiff’s house so that Plaintiff can buy new house and restore his and his spouse’s normal
4 life they had have the prior reckless breach of contract by the Defendant .
5 814. Plaintiff refers to the allegations of breach of the Settlement Agreement with
6 evil spirit by the Defendant the paragraphs, including subparagraphs 1 through 813, inclusive, and
7 incorporates each by reference as though fully set forth at length herein.
8 815. Defendant breached the 2009 Settlement –Agreement by acting in concert
9 with intent to cause Plaintiff severe emotional distress. The evidence is clear and convincing, at
10 the least, that the Defendant, with premeditation, undertook acts that denied the reality of the abuse
11 experienced by Plaintiff and fabricated nature of the “complaints” made about Plaintiff.
12 816. The acts and omissions as alleged herein, separately and taken together, are
13 so extreme and outrageous that the Defendant, and each of them, acted outside the course and
14 scope of their employment with the University of California . The depth, length of time, and nature
15 of the acts are so extraordinary that no reasonable person can conclude such acts and omissions
16 are within the course and scope of duties as a manager, supervisor, or officer of a public entity
17 such as and including University of California .
18 817. Defendant’ breach of signed contract with evil spirit and bad faith as herein alleged
19 do, and did, constitute extreme and outrageous conduct.
20 818. Defendant’ by breaching the contract acted with intent of causing, or with reckless
21 disregard for the probability of causing, severe emotional distress to Plaintiff.
22 WHEREFORE Plaintiff prays for judgment as proximate result of breaching the contract
23 the acts alleged herein Plaintiff suffered severe or extreme emotional distress, entitling Plaintiff to
24 damages, including but not limited to, medical expenses, lost income, other special damages,
25 general damages, and exemplary damages, all in an amount to be proven at trial.
26
Breach of the Settlement –Agreement by the Defendant and Infliction of Emotional Distress
27 to Harm Plaintiff
28 819. To be sure, Defendant, and Defendant’s agents sand officers knew Plaintiff is, and

Page 286 of 287
1 was at all relevant times, precise in his work, could be counted on to keep management informed
2 of the status of the plant and equipment, committed to the future success of the Medical Center,
3 and rightfully and lawfully expected that no person, let alone supervisors, managers, Human
4 Resource personnel, and others would be dishonest, fabricate stories about him, disregard evidence,
5 disregard policies and practices for impartial investigations, disregard Defendant’ actions on
6 Plaintiff’s well-being, and/or set about to cause him emotional harm, all with the intent to ensure
7 that Plaintiff never returned to work again.
8 820.. Defendant and Defendant’s officers and agents by breaching and disregarding the
9 signed Settlement –Agreement alleged in ( knew that their actions, including but not limited to
10 the actions described herein, as well as their actions issuing investigatory leaves in violation of
11 policies and procedures, would cause and did cause Plaintiff to suffer severe emotional distress,
12 especially when not one person left employed by University of California looked at, considered,
13 and/or analyzed the actual evidence.
14 821. The only conclusion that is more likely than not, actually clear and
15 convincing, considering all the evidence, outlined in Plaintiff’s referred allegations contained in the
16 paragraphs, including subparagraphs 1 through 760, inclusive, and incorporates each by reference as
17 though fully set forth at length herein.
18 822. Defendant and Defandant’s agents and officers and each of them,
19 coordinated their actions, conferred with each other, and otherwise had a common goal and/or
20 understanding to either force Plaintiff to quit and/or force him to act or behave in ways that would
21 provide them a subterfuge for his termination. Meanwhile, Defendant, and Defendant’ s agents
22 and officers set about to extricated Plaintiff from his employment because Plaintiff was a
23 suspected whistleblower, and a significant percentage of employees who report misconduct suffer
24 retaliation, abuse, harassment, and ultimately separation from their employment.
25 823. Plaintiff by signing the Settlement-Agreement in February 2009 with Defendant
26 had a reasonable expectation that his employment would be available for him to work, plus benefits,
27 and all other compensation due under the law so long as Plaintiff continued to do his work and
28

Page 287 of 288
1 perform at the workplace as he had since 1999.
2 824. Defendant engaged in the conduct alleged herein with the intent to harm Plaintiff
3 financially and to induce Plaintiff and to violate the Settlement-Agreement, and/or to take away
4 Plaintiff’s property rights in his employment without the benefit of the processes, procedures, and
5 safeguards provided for such things under the law, including the University of California own
6 policies and rules.
7 825. As a proximate result of the breach of the Settlement –Agreement and conduct of
8 Defendant actions and omissions described herein, as well as based on evidence not disclosed
9 herein, Plaintiff was damaged, and continues to experience damages, in an amount that excess
10 $75,000.00 per year, for no less than 5 years, and/or the number of years from the date Plaintiff
11 last received his income to the date Plaintiff intended to retire. When Plaintiff has ascertained the
12 full amount of its damages, it will seek leave of Court to amend this Complaint and/or by evidence
13 at the time of trial provide proof accordingly.
14 826. Plaintiff alleges that Defendant by breaching and violating the signed Settlement
15 –agreement acted with reckless disregard for Plaintiff’s rights and/or failed to perceive, observe,
16 and act as a reasonable person under the same or similar circumstances. Further, said reckless
17 disregard for Plaintiff’s rights and/or negligence were substantial factors in the damages Plaintiff
18 sustained.
19 827. The conduct of on the Defendant as described herein was purposeful and intentional
20 violation and breach of the signed Settlement –Agreement with Plaintiff and Defendant was
21 engaged in for the purpose of depriving Plaintiffs of property or legal rights or otherwise causing
22 injury, and was despicable conduct that subjected to cruel and unjust hardship in conscious
23 disregard of its rights, and was performed with fraud, oppression or malice.
24 828. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Defendant and
25 Defendant agents , and each of them, by violating and breaching the signed Settlement –
26 Agreement coordinated, cooperated, and/or agreed to misuse, abuse, and/or disregard University
27 of California polices and protections so that they could disregard Plaintiff’s rights to return to
28

Page 288 of 289
1 work intentionally created and caused scenarios that they knew would cause Plaintiff to suffer
2 from anxiety, anger, and emotional distress, because the Defendant knew, based on Plaintiff’s
3 own admissions and the Defendant’ experience that Plaintiff would manifest and/or alleviate his
4 anxiety, anger, and emotional distress by writing and sending letters or emails, which, to the
5 uninformed and/or malice minded person, might seem harsh. However, Defendant, and each of
6 them, knew Plaintiff did not have any history of violence, did not have any history of racism, did
7 not have any history of any discrimination, and his letters and writings misrepresented who
8 Plaintiff is as a person.
9
Government Code Section 12940 provides “It is an unlawful employment practice, (a) For an
10
employer, because of the…national origin, ancestry…mental disability, medical condition… of

23 signed Settlement –Agreement with Plaintiff violated California Government Code §12940, by failing
24 to adequately supervise, control, discipline, and/or otherwise penalize the conduct, acts, and failures to
25 act as described herein. As such, Defendant and the Individual Defendant failed to fulfill their statutory
26 duty to take all reasonable and necessary steps to prevent discrimination, harassment, and retaliation from
27 occurring in the workplace, as required by California Government Code §12940(k).
28 831.. Despite Plaintiffs complaints about violation and breach of 2009 Settlement Agreement

1 by Defendant’s agents and Officers, Defendant failed to take steps to prevent the harassment,
2 discrimination and retaliation and to stop breach and violation of the signed contract with Plaintiff.
3 832.. Plaintiff knew he did nothing wrong. Plaintiff initially believed that Defandant would
4 easily determine that fabricating false complaints where none existed for years beforehand. It is

14 patient care and conditions. The Legislature encourages this reporting in order to protect patients
15 and in order to assist those accreditation and government entities charged with ensuring that health
16 care is safe. The Legislature finds and declares that whistleblower protections apply primarily to

23 to the facility, to an entity or agency responsible for accrediting or evaluating the facility, or the
24 medical staff of the facility, or to any other governmental entity…” (Emphasis Added)
25 845. Section 1278.5(d)(1) states (d) (1) There shall be a rebuttable presumption that
26 discriminatory action was taken by the health facility, or by the entity that owns or operates that
27 health facility, or that owns or operates any other health facility, in retaliation against an employee,
