    23 PARTIES:

    25 Oma McConnell, states and alleges as follows:

    26

    27 1.

    JURISDICTION & VENUE

    This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over the claims asserted herein 28 under 28 U.S.C. 1334 and 28 U.S.C. 157, in that this action arises in and relates to the

  • 1 Chapter 7 Bankruptcy case of Oma McConnell ("McConnell", "Debtor" or "Defendant") 2 filed on March 10, 2014 which is presently pending before the Court.

    3 2. This is a core proceeding arising under Title 11 of the United States Code

    4 involving the Debtor's bankruptcy case, which is presently pending in the United States

    5 Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, particularly 28 U.S.C. 6 157(b)(2)(I)and (J). See also Fed.R.Bankr.P. 7001(1). 7 3. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1408 and 1409. 8 PARTIES

    9 4. Bob Atchison ("Plaintiff') resides at 101 Laurel Lane, Austin, Texas 78705. 10 5. Defendant Oma McConnell ("McConnell" or "Defendant") resides in the 11 County of Los Angeles, California.

    12 FACTS COMMON TO ALL CLAIMS FOR RELIEF

    13 6. Plaintiff has expertise with respect to certain periods of Russian history,

    14 specifically the home and fate of the last Tsar of Russia. In the early 1990's he was

    15 instrumental in the designation of the Alexander Palace, the Romanovs' home, as an

    16 endangered monument by the World Monuments Fund and was chief historian on the

    17 WMF's first expedition to the palace. Plaintiff has appeared on PBS, the Discovery Channel

    18 and A&E Television on issues related to the Romanovs and the palace.

    19 7. Plaintiff maintains a website dedicated to this period of Russian history

    20 located at http://www.alexanderpalace.org. Available through this website, Plaintiff

    21 operates a Russian History discussion forum, where he first encountered Defendant, who

    22 engaged him to perform consulting services for her, for which she never did pay Plaintiff.

    23 8. On October 11 , 2005 (Case D-1-GN-03-003141) the Travis County District 24 Court of Texas issued a judgment in favor of Plaintiff and against Defendant in the amount 25 of$13,859.99 plus statutory interest because of her failure to pay for his consulting services 26 (the "2005 Judgment"). Defendant never paid that judgment. 27 9. Defendant is the owner and operates an online blog located at

    28 omahamou.cornloma. Defendant commonly posts comments to this site.

    \Complaint. wpd 2 COMPLAINT

  • 1 10. Since obtaining judgment against Defendant, Defendant has engaged in 2 activities designed to frustrate Plaintiffs enforcement of the judgment he obtained, 3 including but not limited to avoiding post judgment discovery, making numerous motions 4 for protective orders to avoid providing post judgment discovery, disobeying of court orders 5 for the production of post judgment discovery, filing frivolous bankruptcy petitions, only to 6 dismiss them after frustrating the enforcement of judgments obtained by Plaintiff and other 7 creditors.

    8 11. In addition to efforts to frustrate Plaintiffs enforcement of the 2005

    9 Judgment, Defendant has set out in a deliberate effort to defame Plaintiff. Although many

    10 postings have been made since 2009 and even earlier, said posts remain online and

    11 published to whomever should visit Defendant's forum sites in June 2014. In the past year,

    12 Defendant has posted repeatedly online false matter concerning Plaintiff, including but not

    13 limited to asserting:

    14 a. Plaintiff had committed perjury and forgery in obtaining the 2005 15

    16

    17

    18

    19

    20

    b.

    c.

    d.

    f.

    Judgment;

    Plaintiff was being investigated for criminal activity;

    Plaintiff lies about Russian Orthodox Church and its clergy;

    Plaintiff stalks her;

    Plaintiff has sent people to cause her physical harm; and

    Plaintiff has had her drugged.

    21 This list is not exhaustive and only covers a single day's worth of online comments.

    22 FIRST COUNT FOR RELIEF 23 (Defamation- 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(6)) 24 12. Plaintiff refers to and incorporates by reference the allegations contained

    25 within paragraphs 1 through 11, inclusive as though fully set forth.

    26 13. Each of the facts published online by Defendant were and are false and no

    27 privilege exists to make such statements.

    28 Ill

    \Complaint. wpd 3 COMPLAINT

  • 1 14. The statements assert criminal activity by Plaintiff which has never occurred

    2 or taken place, but which have a natural tendency to injure Plaintiff and which are libelous 3 on their face as the comments require no explanation of their defamatory meaning.

    4 15. Moreover, Defendant filed an application for a civil harassment restraining

    5 order on September 9, 2013 against Plaintiff. Upon the filing, a pro forma temporary

    6 restraining order was issued not on the merits, but upon the filing. Plaintiff posted the

    7 conformed document as evidence that Plaintiff had been restrained by the Court, although

    8 no findings had been made.

    9 16. The statements were made by Defendant who knew or should have known the

    10 statements were false and would subject Plaintiff to ridicule, and ostracize him from 11 contacts and opportunities connected with his expertise in Russian history.

    12 17. The statements were made knowing they would be seen by both friends,

    13 acquaintances, and business contacts with the intent they result in humiliation of Plaintiff.

    14 At all times mentioned, the acts of Defendant were intended to cause harm to Plaintiff or

    15 performed with a reckless disregard for the consequences of her actions, solely to hurt,

    16 punish and humiliate Plaintiff.

    17 18. As a proximate cause of the conduct of Defendant, Plaintiff has been generally

    18 injured in a sum according to proof at the time of trial. 19 19. The conduct of Defendant was despicable and intended to cause Plaintiff

    20 humiliation in the community of Russian History interests and amounts to fraudulent,

    21 oppressive or malicious conduct justifying the imposition of punitive and exemplary 22 damages in an amount according to proof at the time of trial.

    23 20. As a further consequence ofthe conduct ofDefendant, Plaintiff is entitled to a

    24 declaration that Defendant is not entitled to a discharge of the damages she caused Plaintiff

    25 pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(6). 26 Ill

    SECOND COUNT FOR RELIEF

    (Preliminary and Permanent Injunction) 3 21. Plaintiff refers to and incorporates by reference the allegations contained

    4 within paragraphs 1 through 19, inclusive, as though fully set forth.

    5 22. Plaintiff is informed and believes and upon such information and belief that he

    6 has lost business opportunities related to his Russian history expertise as a direct

    7 consequence of business contacts learning of the false allegations by Defendant and that

    8 damages from lost opportunities both in the past and in the future are difficult to calculate,

    9 rendering monetary damages an inadequate remedy.

    10 23. Injunctive relief is necessary to prevent a multiplicity of judicial proceedings 11 and to stop great, irreparable injury to Plaintiff and Plaintiffs reputation and business 12 pursuits, including those related to his expertise in Russian history.

    13 24. Plaintiff seeks a preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, as follows: 14

    15

    16

    17

    18

    a.

    b.

    For a preliminary injunction prohibiting Defendant or anyone acting on her behalf from posting false and defamatory matter related in any way

    related to Plaintiff, his web sites or his Russian history expertise on the

    Internet during the duration of this litigation; and,

    For a mandatory and permanent injunction requiring Defendant and 19 anyone acting on her behalf to remove any and all false and defamatory

    20 matter related in any way to Plaintiff or his web sites on the Internet on

    21 web sites under the control of Defendant or anyone acting on her behalf

    22 and to not post false or defamatory matter about Plaintiff or his web

    23 sites on the Internet in the future.

    24 THIRD COUNT FOR RELIEF

    25 (Declaration of Vexatious Litigant Status against Defendant Defendant Hamou, aka 26 Defendant McConnell aka Alexandra McConnell) 27 25. Plaintiff refers to and incorporates paragraphs 1 through 19, inclusive as

    28 though fully set forth herein.

    \Complaint. wpd 5 COMPLAINT

  • 1 26. After the 2005 Judgment was entered, Defendant, acting on her own behalf

    2 filed a Petition for Bill of Review with the Travis County District Court of Texas, on or

    3 about October 11, 2010, entitled Oma Hamou v Robert D. Atchison, bearing case number

    4 GN 90993478 attempting tore-litigate all issues which occurred at the 2005 trial, including

    5 the issues of fraud and manufactured documents. This proceeding was dismissed by

    6 judgment on motion for summary judgment. 7 27. Because her Petition for Bill of Review submitted Defendant to the

    8 jurisdiction of the Texas Court, Plaintiff filed a request on or about February 16, 2011 for 9 post-judgment discovery, requesting the production of documents and deposition from

    10 Defendant. In response:

    \Complaint.wpd

    a. On or about March 24, 2011, while acting on her own behalf,

    Defendant filed a frivolous motion for a Protective Order seeking relief

    from the document production. Judge Timothy Shulak, presiding,

    denied the motion for protective order and granted the order for the

    document production and personal examination of Defendant;

    b. On or about July 20, 2011, while acting on her own behalf, Defendant

    filed a second frivolous motion for Protective Order from Post

    Judgment Discovery, to be heard at the same time as a motion to

    compel for failure to comply with the Court's earlier order and for

    sanctions. On July 29, 2011, Judge Harger of the Travis County

    District Court first denied Defendant's second motion for protective

    order and then issued an Order to compel Defendant to comply with

    Plaintiffs requests for document production and her personal

    examination under oath and awarded sanctions in the amount

    of $500 for Defendant's failure to comply with previous court orders. These sanctions remain unpaid and Defendant has yet to comply with

    these court orders.

    f.

    In a continuing effort to engage in conduct designed solely to cause

    unnecessary delay, Defendant failed to provide documents or appear for

    her personal examination under oath as ordered by Judge Harger. On

    October 17, 2011 Judge Hurley of the Travis County District Court

    issued an Order of Contempt of Court against Defendant and imposed

    $1 ,000 in sanctions against her for failure to comply with orders of document production and examination. These sanctions remain unpaid

    and the order to comply has been ignored.

    After the events alleged above, Defendant continued her conduct in

    violation of Court Orders designed solely to cause unnecessary delay

    such that on December 5, 2011 Judge Meachem of the Travis County

    District Court issued another court order demanding that Debtor

    comply with previous court orders for Deposition on Written Questions and Document Production and on January 1 7, 20 12 Chief Judge

    Livingston of the Travis County District Court issued an Order to

    Appear and Show Cause to Debtor, requiring her to appear on February

    17, 2012 in person to explain her continuing violation of court orders.

    When Defendant did not appear on February 17, 2012, on March 26,

    2012 Chief Judge Livingston issued a Bench Warrant for Debtor' s

    arrest.

    21 28. Thereafter, in a further effort to frustrate Plaintiffs enforcement of his 2005

    22 Judgment in California, Defendant, acting on her own behalf, on March 5, 2012, filed an

    23 emergency petition under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, entitled In re Oma Hamou,

    24 bearing case number 2: 12-bk-17945-ER, without any accompanying schedules or

    25 declarations. Richard Diamond was appointed Chapter 7 trustee of Defendant's bankruptcy.

    26 29. Because Defendant did not file schedules or other documents with her

    27 petition, she was ordered by the Bankruptcy Court to file those schedules and other

    28 documents within 14 days. Her 341 a Meeting of Creditors was scheduled for April 11,

    \Complaint. wpd 7 COMPLAINT

  • 1 2012. She did not file any schedules or other documents ordered by the Bankruptcy Court,

    2 she did not appear at the first or several continued meetings of creditors. Defendant did post

    3 on her online forum that she expected a dismissal of her bankruptcy case and that this would

    4 be followed by a new bankruptcy filing.

    5 30. During the course of her bankruptcy proceeding, Plaintiff applied for and was

    6 granted a Rule 2004 examination under oath of Defendant, with the production of

    7 documents. In response, Defendant, acting on her own behalf, filed an incomplete and

    8 frivolous motion for a protective order to which Plaintiff was forced to respond or have the

    9 motion potentially deemed meritorious. Notwithstanding, Defendant failed to schedule any

    10 hearing, resulting in a frivolous and unnecessary two month delay in obtaining an order

    11 denying her motion for a protective order in which the bankruptcy court admonished

    12 Defendant for obtaining a defacto two month extension of time for production and

    13 examination without a court order.

    14 31. Defendant never produced any documents nor appeared for her examination

    15 pursuant to the order of the Bankruptcy Court.

    16 32. Defendant's bankruptcy was dismissed without discharge on July 9, 2012.

    17 33. On or about April 24, 2012, Defendant, acting on her own behalf, filed a

    18 Complaint against Plaintiff with the United States District Court for the Central District of

    19 California entitled OMA MCCONNELL V ROBERT DAVID ATCHISON, ET AL, bearing

    20 case number 12-03556 -RGK and alleging civil RICO claims. This required Plaintiff to

    21 retain counsel to respond with a Motion to Dismiss. The action was dismissed by the

    22 District Court.

    23 34. On or about September 9, 2013 Defendant, acting on her own behalf, filed a

    24 petition for a restraining order against Plaintiff in California, entitled MS. OMA

    25 MCCONNELL VS REBERT D. ATCHISON, ET AL, (sic) bearing case number ESO 1704 7. 26 The proceeding alleged grounds for imposition of a civil restraining order and was served

    27 upon Plaintiff in Texas. A pro forma temporary restraining order was issued upon filing the

    28 application which Defendant posted online as evidence she had obtained a restraining order

    \Complaint. wpd 8 COMPLAINT

  • 1 regarding Plaintiffs alleged harassment of her. Plaintiff incurred the expense of hiring

    2 counsel, travel and appearing in California for the hearing, only to have the matter dismissed

    3 by the Court when Defendant failed to appear. Plaintiff was awarded the sum of$2,800.00 4 in attorney fees for this frivolous exercise. The sum was never paid by Defendant.

    5 3 5. Each of the actions complained of above were either frivolous under the law

    6 or actions designed and taken solely to cause unnecessary delay justifying a declaration of 7 Defendant as a vexatious litigant under California Code of Civil Procedure, 39l(b)(2) and 8 (b)(3). 9 36. A Prefiling Order is requested prohibiting Defendant from filing any new

    10 litigation in the courts of this state or in the federal courts in propria persona without first

    11 obtaining leave of the presiding justice or presiding judge of the court where the litigation is 12 proposed to be filed.

    13 FOURTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF

    14 (Fraud- 523(a)(2)) 15 3 7. Plaintiff refers to and incorporates by reference the allegations contained

    16 within paragraphs 1 through 20, inclusive.

    17 3 8. When Debtor made promises to pay Plaintiff for consulting work on a film she

    18 allegedly was making. She never intended to pay him. Instead, she was preparing an image

    19 for the purposes of defrauding others.

    20 39. In furtherance of her real objectives, Debtor placed advertisements in Variety, 21 an entertainment weekly, concerning a Russian history film she was making. She retained

    22 Plaintiff due to his expertise in Russian history. Plaintiff is informed and believes and

    23 thereupon alleges that Debtor never paid Variety for all the ads she placed. Plaintiff utilized

    24 a residential address to falsely claim it was a commercial film production office with many

    25 employees. Additionally, Defendant falsely informed Plaintiff that her efforts were

    26 supported by a large trust fund stated to be valued in millions of dollars. All of these claims

    27 were made to induce Plaintiff to provide consulting services to her.

    28 Ill

    \Complaint. wpd 9 COMPLAINT

  • 1 40. Defendant never paid Plaintiff for his work performed on her behalf and at her

    2 request.

    3 41. Plaintiff obtained a judgment in the state court of Texas against Debtor in the 4 sum of$13,859.99. Debtor failed to appear on February 17, 2012 pursuant to an Order to 5 Appear by the Texas state court to explain why she has ignored that Court' s Orders.

    6 42. Utilizing Plaintiff's expertise, the Variety advertising, and social security

    7 numbers she was able to obtain from persons she interviewed for employment, she obtained

    8 credit which she exploited but for which she never paid.

    9 43. It was never Debtor' s intent to pay Plaintiff. She knew when she first retained

    10 Plaintiff that she had no intent to pay him. Instead she intended to use his name to promote

    11 her scheme to obtain credit using other people' s names and social security numbers.

    12 44. At all times mentioned it was Defendant's intent to defraud Plaintiff into

    13 lending his name and expertise to her scheme to defraud others.

    14 45. Plaintiff was unaware of the history of the Debtor at the time he entered the

    15 agreement and was justified in relying on her representations that she would pay him for his 16 services.

    17 46. As a proximate cause of the fraud of Defendant, Plaintiff entered the

    18 agreement and provided services, none of which were compensated and he has been

    19 damaged in the sum of$13,859.99 plus interest from the date of entry of judgment on 20 October 11 , 2005.

    21 4 7. As a further consequence of the conduct of Defendant, Plaintiff is entitled to

    22 punitive and exemplary damages in a sum according to proof at the time of trial.

    23 48. Plaintiff is entitled to a declaration that the obligation represented by the

    24 October 2005 Texas judgment is nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(1)(A). 25 Ill

    26 Ill

    27 Ill 28 FIFTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF

    \Complaint. wpd 10 COMPLAINT

  • 1 (False Oath- 727(a)(4)) 2 49. Plaintiff refers to and incorporations paragraphs 1 through 20, above as though

    3 fully set forth.

    4 50. Plaintiff is informed and believes and thereupon alleges that Debtor has used

    5 numerous aliases and false social security numbers to effect her schemes in the past. In fact,

    6 in response to such allegations in the past, Defendant has claimed she has two legitimate

    7 social security numbers in online posts, though she did not provide two social security

    8 numbers in her petition. She has also not provided all the various aliases she has used.

    9 51. Debtor signed her Petition for relief under penalty of perjury and was required 10 to provide all aliases and social security numbers she has used. She failed to provide that

    11 information.

    12 52. As a consequence, Debtor is not entitled to a discharge pursuant to 11 U.S.C.

    13 727(a)(4). 14 SIXTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF

    15 (Malicious and Intentional Conduct- 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(6)) 16 53. Plaintiff refers to and incorporates by reference the allegations contained

    17 within paragraphs 1 through 19, inclusive, and paragraphs 26 through 35, inclusive as

    18 though fully set forth herein.

    19 54. The obligations of Defendant to Plaintiff represented by the sanctions in the

    20 sums of $500 and $1000, both issued by the Texas state court where imposed as sanctions 21 for the intentional failure to comply with a court orders and constitute penalties imposed by

    22 the Court. These debts are not dischargeable under 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(6). 23 55. The harassment proceeding commenced by Defendant on September 9, 2013

    24 was only intended to provide her with a court document indicating she had obtained an order

    25 to stop harassment by Plaintiff. This was done so she could post it online and represent her

    26 claims of harassment were justified by the order of the court. 27 Ill

    28 56. Defendant failed to appear for the harassment proceeding and the matter was

    \Complaint. wpd 11 COMPLAINT

  • 1 dismissed and attorney fees imposed in the sum of $2,800.00. 2 57. The harassment proceeding never had any merit. Plaintiff lives in the State of

    3 Texas and Defendant takes great pains to avoid Plaintiff knowing her place of residence,

    4 such that there was no merit to any claim that Plaintiff had been harassing Defendant. The

    5 claim was frivolous and not brought with any probable cause or probability of success.

    6 58. The bringing of the harassment proceeding was solely intended to create a

    7 document to use to harass Plaintiff. The entire proceeding was maliciously brought with the

    8 intent to cause Plaintiff harm, inconvenience and expense or with a reckless disregard for

    9 the consequences.

    10 59. Plaintiff is entitled to a declaration that the amounts awarded to him in

    11 sanctions and attorney fees are not dischargeable pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(6). 12 WHEREFORE, Plaintiff prays for judgment as follows: 13 FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEF:
