    Judge Pro Tem Misconduct: Temporary Judges Richard Sokol and ElaineVan Beveren Fail To Report, Help Cover Up Judge Matthew Gary Misconduct

    A startling courthouse security video leaked by a government whistleblower records the illegal 2009 assault and

    arrest of indigent, disabled pro per litigant and family court reform activist Robert Saunders. During a March 9,

    2009 court hearing, Judge Matthew Gary ordered the self-represented Saunders arrested and jailed for contempt

    of court. Two outside, independent judges who later reviewed the incident determined that both the contempt charge

    and arrest were illegal.

    One of the two reviewing judges also issued an order removing Gary from the case for bias and violating state

    contempt law. The new video leak appears to reinforce the review findings, showing Saunders sitting passively at

    the courtroom counsel table until a painful "control hold" is applied to his arm by a deputy sheriff. When Saunders

    reacts to the pain, a wrestling match ensues until additional deputies arrive to subdue and apply handcuffs to the

    illegally arrested victim. The pro per is then shuffled off to the county jail through a rear exit in the courtroom.

    Saunders is 5' 8" tall, weighs 162 pounds, relies on a cane to walk, and, at the time of the arrest, was 57-years-old,

    according to the police report from the incident.

    Judge Matthew J. Gary has a long, documented history of bias and abuse of authority against financially

    disadvantaged litigants who cannot afford an attorney and are forced to represent themselves in court. A right-wing

    ideologue, Gary also reportedly despises what he refers to as the "entitlement mentality" of indigent court users

    who obtain fee waiver orders, which allow them to file court documents without paying filing fees. Most pro per

    litigants rely on fee waivers to ensure their access to the court.

    In one case, Gary illegally misused fee waiver law against an indigent, unrepresented domestic violence

    victim to both obstruct an appeal of his own orders and help a judge pro tem attorney client - and spousal abuse

    perpetrator - avoid a spousal support obligation. The judge-attorney tag-team strategy left the abuse victim

    penniless, and homeless. In another case, Gary ordered an indigent, disabled pro per to pay $920 of her $1,256

    monthly disability income to her ex-husband, who earned $8,089 per month, according to court records. As a

    result of the order, the disabled single parent couldn't pay her rent, was evicted from her home, and became

    homeless. In March, a still-pending appeal in the case was the subject of a front page story in the Sacramento

    Bee. A federal class-action lawsuit on behalf of these and several other Gary victims is rumored to be in the works.

    The 2009 Robert Saunders contempt arrest debacle was witnessed by controversial judge pro tem divorce

    attorneys Richard Sokol, shown in the left foreground of the video, and Elaine Van Beveren, who is off-camera.

    As sworn temporary judges who witnessed the incident, both were required by state law - Canon 3D(1) of the

    California Code of Judicial Ethics - to report Gary's misconduct, or otherwise take some form of corrective

    action. Neither attorney did, and in subsequent proceedings last year in the same case before a different

    judge, lied about the incident, portraying Saunders as being at fault. The ruse apparently fooled Judge Thadd

    Blizzard, who late last year approved an out-of-state criminal child abduction for Sokol's client - the mother of

    Saunders' children.

    In 2012, Sacramento Family Court News reported on the illegal arrest of Saunders and the later review of the

    incident by Judges Xapuri B. Villapudua and Richard Gilmour. Our original article is reprinted below:

    Family Court Judge Matthew J. Gary Disqualified

    From Case for Bias and Unlawful Arrest of Pro Per

    Sacramento Family Court News

    Exclusive:

    Internal court records obtained by Sacramento

    Family Court news reveal that a San Joaquin

    County judge in 2010 issued a court order

    removing Judge Matthew Gary from a

    Sacramento Family Court case for misconduct

    and bias against a disabled, unrepresented

    litigant. Although Gary contested the removal

    action and denied the bias and misconduct

    charges, after reviewing the evidence San

    Joaquin County Superior Court Judge

    Xapuri B. Villapudua rejected Gary's version of

    events and ordered the controversial judge

    disqualified from any further proceedings in the

    case.

    The motion to recuse, or remove, Gary from the

    case was filed by pro per Robert Saunders. In

    accordance with state law, the motion was heard

    and decided by a neutral, outside-the-county

    judge. At the time the motion was

    filed, California Supreme Court Chief Justice

    Ronald George assigned Villapudua to decide

    the case. In her ruling rejecting Gary's denial and

    removing the judge from the case, Villapudua

    made it clear which of the conflicting stories was believable.

    "Based on the evidence submitted the court does find that a reasonable person might entertain

    a doubt that Judge Matthew J. Gary would be able to be impartial. Three separate witnesses

    stated Judge Gary was impatient and rude to [Saunders]. Three separate witnesses declared the

    judge appeared biased during the hearing, making snide or rude comments to [Saunders].

    From the sworn declarations submitted it appears Judge Gary became embroiled during the

    hearing on March 9, 2009. Judge Gary appeared to lose his patience with [Saunders]. He did

    not adhere to the proper procedure for contempt and had [Saunders] arrested and forcibly

    removed from his courtroom by multiple bailiffs," Villapudua wrote in the court order ending

    Gary's jurisdiction over the case. Click here to view the order.

    Villapudua's assessment of Gary's credibility and the unlawful arrest and incarceration of Saunders for contempt of

    court was reaffirmed by a second judge who, at a subsequent court hearing in Sacramento County Superior

    Court, dismissed a resisting arrest charge against Saunders from the same incident. Evidence in the criminal

    case included a video recording of the debacle, according to the arrest report of a courtroom bailiff. In addition, the

    Judge Matthew J. Gary, Sacramento County Superior Court. A fellow judge

    ordered Gary removed from the Robert Saunders case for abuse of the

    unrepresented litigant and misuse of contempt law.

    unlawful contempt of court and resisting arrest incident was witnessed by judge pro tem attorneys Richard Sokol

    and Elaine Van Beveren, both of whom failed to intervene as required by the Code of Judicial Ethics. Gary

    currently is the Supervising Family Law, Probate and ADA Judge.

    In his motion to disqualify Gary from the case, Saunders asserted that the judge was rude, impatient, and abused

    his authority by having him arrested and dragged from the courtroom. As Villapudua's order reflects, Saunders'

    claims were supported by the sworn testimony of three separate eyewitnesses who confirmed Saunders' account of

    the incident. The witnesses also testified that Gary m ade snide or rude comments directed at Saunders, and

    appeared biased during the hearing. In his defense, Gary submitted to the San Joaquin County judge a one-

    sentence answer denying the charges made by Saunders. "I deny the allegations stated in Respondent's

    Challenge," Gary stated under penalty of perjury. Click here to view Gary's denial. To view the minute order

    issued by Gary after the hearing in which he charged Saunders with contempt of court, click here.

    Judge Villapudua issued her order banning Gary from the Saunders case on January 7, 2010. Five months later, a

    second judge with no connection to family court dismissed the resisting arrest charge filed against Saunders by

    Gary's courtroom bailiff and Sacramento County Sheriff's Department Deputy J. Strong. The dismissal of the

    criminal case by former prosecutor and veteran Sacramento County criminal court Judge Richard Gilmour infers

    that the video recording of the incident also supported Saunders' contention that both the contempt and

    resisting arrest charges were baseless and motivated by Gary's temper, embroilment and abuse of authority.

    "Gary Became Embroiled...Did Not Adhere To ProperProcedure For Contempt"

    Assigned to the case by the California Supreme Court Chief Justice, San Joaquin County Superior Court Judge Xapuri Villapudua

    ordered Judge Matthew Gary disqualified to hear further proceedings in the Robert Saunders case.

    Second Independent Judge Vindicates Saunders

    The resisting arrest charge filed by Judge Matthew Gary's courtroom bailiff J. Strong against Robert Saunders was dismissed by

    Judge Richard Gilmour on May 10, 2010.

    The unlawful contempt of court and resisting arrest incident was witnessed by attorneys Richard Sokol and

    Elaine Van Beveren. Both attorneys are Sacramento County Superior Court sworn temporary judges. Judge

    pro tem attorneys are by law required to take or initiate corrective action if they witness another judge violate the

    law or any provision of the Code of Judicial Ethics. Canon 3D(1), an important self-policing component of the

    Code, mandates the intervention to maintain public confidence in the courts and ensure that judge misconduct is

    kept in check. As confirmed by two independent judges, Gary's actions were clear violations of several sections of

    the ethics code, but court records and other eyewitness accounts indicate that neither Sokol, nor Van Beveren

    complied with the misconduct reporting requirement. Click here to view an internal Judicial Council of California

    memo about the legal duty. In addition, courtroom clerk Christina Arcuri had a legal and ethical duty to report

    the misconduct by the judge, but took no action.

    In a different case last year Judge Matthew Gary suffered a full reversal by the Third District Court of Appeal.

    As in the Saunders case, in Seaton v. Seaton Gary also did not follow established law. After conducting his own

    investigation and forensic analysis on a 20-year-old marriage certificate signature, Gary concluded that the

    signature was not made by an extremely intoxicated person, as Patricia Seaton had claimed. The judge then

    nullified a 17-year marriage so that Patricia would be deprived of all property, support and other rights associated

    with a lawful marriage. The appellate court reversed Gary's decision, noting that the issues Gary had with Patricia's

    credibility were irrelevant to determining whether the marriage was valid.

    Both Gary and Villapudua were appointed to the bench in June, 2007 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    Judge Gary is paid $169,289 per year.

    For his deference to attorneys, and mismanagement of Sacramento

    County Family Court, Gary received a "Poster Child of the Month

    Award" from the Family Court Accountability Coalition, a

    statewide family court watchdog group. Gary received the honor for

    "serial due process, equal protection and access to the courts

    violations," according to the FCAC Blog.

    "Anecdotal evidence suggests that the current presiding

    judge, Matthew J. Gary is a right-wing, anti-government

    ideologue who believes government is dysfunctional and is

    determined to prove it...while collecting a $170,000 annual

    salary from the state."

    FCAC also cited a 2007, Sacramento Lawyer magazine interview

    with Gary:

    "Gary characterizes his legal philosophy as favoring judicial

    restraint. Among the U.S. Supreme Court justices who he

    admires are Antonin Scalia..."

    UPDATE: Family Law Courts.com asks whether Family Court

    bailiffs are enforcing the law or acting as judicial puppets.

    Judge Robert Hight Misconduct: Supreme Court Committee ConfirmsSystemic Judge Pro Tem Conflict of Interest Disclosure Law Violations

    An attorney and Sacramento Family Court News reader provided the California Supreme Court Committee

    on Judicial Ethics Opinions Formal Opinion below. The opinion provides yet another legal reference specifying

    that family court judges must disclose potential conflicts of interest on the record. At court hearings where no

    court reporter is present, the disclosure must be in writing, according to the CJEO.

    In our original May, 2013 investigative report, we provided the legal authority, including Judicial Ethics Updates

    and Ethics Opinions from the California Judges Association requiring judges to disclose to opposing parties and

    attorneys when a judge pro tem attorney represents a client in court. As we reported at that time, in violation of

    state law family court judges were failing to make the required disclosure. The violations remain ongoing, and

    hundreds of cases are tainted by the error. Sacramento County Superior Court Presiding Judge Robert Hight

    is responsible for the oversight of temporary judges, according to the CJA, the Code of Judicial Ethics and

    other authority. Click here to view our 2013 report.

    Whistleblower leaked records from a Sacramento Family Court case indicate that criminal acts were committed

    by family law attorney and temporary judge Paula Salinger against an indigent, unrepresented, pro per family

    court party. The pro per was a victim and witness in a family court criminal contempt case filed against a Salinger

    client, and the pro per also is a domestic violence victim, according to court records. Family court reform

    advocates say the case is another example of the complete lack of oversight and accountability of attorneys

    who engage in egregious misconduct against disadvantaged, pro per litigants who can't afford legal

    representation.

    Allegations that judge pro tem lawyer Paula Salinger committed obstruction of justice crimes against

    an indigent, unrepresented pro per have gone viral throughout family court reform social media.

    Judge James Mize Apologist Blames Rampant Family Court Corruption onJudicial Council Forms

    Special Guest Editorial: Opinion by Cathy Cohen

    In a laughably inaccurate editorial published by the

    Sacramento Bee, McGeorge School of Law family

    law professor John E.B. Myers redefined the meaning

    of the out-of-touch, ivory tower academic. Among

    other clueless assertions, Myers made the epic LOL,

    demonstrably false claim that:

    Sacramentos family court, under the wise

    leadership of Judge James Mize, serves the

    community well.

    Family court watchdogs have collected and

    catalogued overwhelming evidence that Judge Mize

    provides anything but wise leadership, and that the

    court which operates essentially as an organized,

    criminal enterprise serves only a select, exclusive

    group of judge pro tem lawyers. The community at

    large, and especially those financially disadvantaged

    family court users without an attorney, are subjected

    to second-class status under an illegal two-track

    system of justice.
