Excel Global by and through their undersigned counsel, Philip J. Berg, Esquire,
hereby submit this Emergency Motion to Expedite the Appellants Appeal, filed
and docketed on August 14, 2009 of Judge Robreno’s Order of August 7, 2009,
the outcome of this Appeal, filed with this Court on August 27, 2009.
Appellants are asking this Court to Order Appellants Brief (if required) to be
filed in their appeal on or before Friday, January 8, 2010; Appellees Response (if
required) on or before Friday, January 15, 2010 and any response thereto on or
before January 19, 2010. Appellants are further asking this Court for an expedited
Injunction pending the outcome of the Appeal, which was filed with this Court on

Appellees become and continue their illegal and damaging behaviors, as proven by
the history of this case. All of the Defendants (Appellees herein) have waived their
affirmative defenses, and basically admitted to all the wrongs, thus Appellants will
be filing the appropriate Motions once the case is permitted to move forward.
Order and/or Injunction is permitted pursuant to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
Third Circuit Local Rule, L.A.R. 4.1 (2008). Appellants Motion to Expedite is
based upon the Order issued by Judge Robreno of the United States District Court,
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, docketed December 11, 2009 as Doc. No. 115,
suspending Appellants case pending the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third

timely response, the Court may treat a Motion without such certification as
uncontested”).
When issues regarding assets being sold, hidden, transferred or moved off-
shore while the parties are involved in litigation require immediate attention and
action by the other parties. Under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, any type
litigation, is unlawful, See Cal Civ Code § 3439, et sequitur (Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act). It is imperative to obtain an Order from the U.S. District Court,
Central District of California, Southern Division, freezing the Appellees assets and
immediately file actions to undue the illegal liquidation, transfer, selling of, and
hiding of Assets.

There are two matters pending before the Court. First,
the parties’ responses to this Court’s Rule to Show Cause (doc.
no. 80), ordering that Plaintiffs show cause as to why their
complaint should not be dismissed on the following three grounds:
(1) why this case should not be dismissed for lack of personal
jurisdiction, (2) why this case should not be severed into three
or fewer cases against the following groups or Defendants: (i)
Edgar & Caren Hale, Plains Radio Network, Bar H. Farms and KPRN
AM 1610; (ii) Linda S. Belcher; (iii) Orly Taitz, Defend Our
Freedoms Foundations, Inc., Neil Sankey, Sankey Investigations,
Inc. and The Sankey Firm, and (3) why this case should not be
transferred to an appropriate district in either Texas or
California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). Second, Plaintiffs’
letter to the Court, dated November 29, 2009, requesting leave to
file a motion to transfer to the Central District of California.
Given that Plaintiffs have taken an appeal to the
Court’s denial of their motion for an injunction or restraining
order, dated August 10, 2009 (doc. no. 83), and that none of the
matters pending are intended to preserve the status quo, the
Court will await adjudication of the appeal before proceeding to
rule on these matters.

I. STATEMENT OF FACTS:
Investigations and the Sankey Firm have invaded the privacy of Liberi, Ostella, and
Adams by publicizing Liberi’s full Social Security number, date of birth, mother’s
maiden name, place of birth and other personal information of Liberi’s, including
information about Liberi’s medical conditions, child, husband, etc. and has targeted all
the work Liberi has performed for Berg in Pennsylvania. Taitz through DOFF has also
publicized Ostella’s name, address, maiden name, where her family resides, parents
names and where they reside, etc. and Taitz has also published Adams name, address,
husband’s information, etc. Taitz filed false law enforcement reports with the Federal
Bureau of Investigations (FBI); police departments; called for people where the
Plaintiffs’ reside; falsely accused Liberi and Ostella of “hacking” her paypal account and
website or forum; falsely accused Adams and Berg of diverting funds and making money
off of her company name; falsely accused Liberi of “murdering” her sister; falsely
accused Liberi’s husband of diverting funds from Berg; falsely accused Liberi of being
convicted of crimes including but not limited to identity theft, manipulation of police
reports, manipulation of credit reports, real estate crimes, etc., which has placed the
Plaintiffs’ in the false light before the publics eye; slandering the Plaintiffs’; harassed the
Plaintiffs; invaded the Plaintiffs’ seclusion; publicly disclosed private facts about the
Plaintiffs’; destroyed the Plaintiffs’ reputation; and interfered with the Plaintiffs’ business
associates, etc.
Shortly thereafter, the Hales had Taitz through DOFF and Sankey through Sankey
Investigations and the Sankey Firm on their radio show. Taitz continued her malicious
lies about Plaintiffs’ and Sankey continued his distribution of Liberi’s private
confidential information as well as Adams and Ostella’s. In fact, Sankey and Hale
announced on the radio show on May 28, 2009 that Liberi had recently taken out a loan,
which she had. The only way they would have known this is if they had illegally
accessed Liberi’s credit report or applied for and taken out credit in Liberi’s name.
Sankey, Taitz and Hale then altered and forged Ostella’s emails and published them on
the internet. Edgar Hale admitted in an email to Liberi that Taitz used him to assault
Liberi to get to Berg. The Hales also have viciously attacked, slandered, harassed and
threatened Adams. The Hales have admitted in writing that is on file with this Court,
Taitz, DOFF and the other Defendants used them to “assault” Liberi to take down Berg.
Belcher joined forces with Taitz in or about January 2009 in their attempts to
destroy Berg and Liberi. Belcher sent out mass emails with all kinds of false statements
about Liberi and Berg. Belcher filed false reports with the Social Security
Administration, manufactured emails and “chat logs” which she had filed with this Court;
As a result, Plaintiffs’ filed suit on May 4, 2009 of which all Defendants were
served. The Defendants’ Answers to the Plaintiffs’ Complaint were due May 26, 2009.
Taitz and DOFF failed to timely Answer Plaintiffs’ Complaint and therefore, default was
entered against them, and they waived their rights to raise any type of affirmative
defenses. Despite this, Taitz and DOFF untimely filed a one sentence denial as their
Since the time Plaintiffs’ filed suit, the Defendants actions and behaviors have
continued. Taitz, DOFF, Sankey, Sankey Investigations, Inc, and the Sankey Firm, Inc.
a/k/a the Sankey Firm are located in California. The majority of their Assets are located
in California. In addition, Taitz’s owns two [2] Dental Practices in the jurisdiction of the
United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division and she and
her husband own a Software Engineering company with their headquarters located in the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern
Division with offices over seas, in New Jersey and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Southern District of Florida, Taitz was having a “love affair” with her law Clerk,
disbarred Attorney Charles Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln has filed his Affidavits claiming Yosef
Taitz has demanded that Orly Taitz sign all her rights to the Assets over to him (Yosef
Taitz), see EXHIBITS “A” and “B”. California is a community property state. Any
judgment obtained against the Defendants is also collectible against the Defendants
spouse and their assets, even if not in the other party’s name. Also in California, as well
as many other states today, it is illegal to transfer ownership of property or assets when
the party knows there is pending litigation against them. See the Uniform Fraudulent
Because there has been a threat of Taitz signing away her rights to the family
and based on the award of statutory penalties pursuant to California Civil Code 1798, et
sequitur, Plaintiff Liberi’s award pursuant to statute alone against Taitz and DOFF is in
excess of Eight Hundred and Seventy Million [$870,000,000.00] Dollars for just one
count. Thus, Plaintiffs’ are relying on the assets owned by Taitz, DOFF and her spouse,
Yosef Taitz, in order to collect against any judgment granted by the Court. For these
reasons, it may be imperative for Plaintiffs’ to move the United States District Court,
Central District of California, Southern Division for an Ex Parte Order freezing all of
Sankey, Sankey Investigations, Inc., and the Sankey Firm, Inc. a/k/a the Sankey
Firm are licensed in California, conduct business in and are located in Southern
California. In addition, Plaintiff Liberi has been speaking with and learned the California
licensing bureau of Private Investigators, the actions of Sankey through his corporations
are criminal in nature and therefore, Liberi was instructed to report Sankey’s illegal
actions to the County District Attorney where Sankey and his Corporations are located

engage in a two-part test: (1) whether action might have been brought in proposed
transferee forum; and (2) whether transfer promotes convenience and justice. Excelsior
In a diversity action like this one, venue is proper "only in (1) a judicial district
where any Defendant resides, if all defendants reside in the same State, (2) a judicial
district in which a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim
occurred, or a substantial part of property that is the subject of the action is situated, or

the action is commenced, if there is no district in which the action may otherwise be
It is in the public and private interests that the Federal Laws be upheld pertaining
to venue and transfer of cases within the Federal Court systems. 28 U.S.C. §1404(a) only
provides for the transfer of a case where both the original and the requested venue are
convenience of the parties and presuppose that the Court has jurisdiction and that the case
has been brought in the correct forum. Lafferty v. Gito St. Riel, 495 F.3d 72, 77 (3d Cir.
Pa. 2007) citing Jumara v. State Farm Ins. Co., 55 F.3d 873, 878 (3d Cir. 1995).
circumstances for change of venue, but rather that all relevant things considered, the case
would be better off transferred to another district. Dominy v. CSX Transp., Inc., 2006
U.S. Dist. LEXIS 9422 (E.D. Pa. Mar. 9, 2006), supra., citing In re United States, 273
In determining whether to transfer a case, the court must first determine whether
the action "might have been brought" in the proposed transferee district. Banket v. GC
Am., Inc., 2005 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23550 at *10 (E.D. Pa. Oct. 11, 2005), citing Van
Dusen, 376 U.S. at 616, 84 S. Ct. at 809. Assuming that this requirement has been
satisfied, which it has been herein, the court must then assess a number of private and
parties and witnesses and the interests of justice). Jumara v. State Farm Insurance
Company, 55 F.3d 873, 879 (3d Cir. 1995). Specifically, the private interests have
included: (1) the plaintiff's forum preference as manifested in the original choice; (2) the
defendant's choice of forum; (3) where the claim arose; (4) the convenience of the parties
as indicated by their relative physical and financial conditions; (5) the convenience of the
witnesses--but only to the extent that the witnesses may actually be unavailable for trial
in one of the fora; and (6) the location of books and records. In re Amendt, 169 Fed.
Appx. 93 at *8 (3d Cir. 2006), citing Jumara, at 879-80. The public interests have
included: (1) the enforceability of the judgment; (2) practical considerations that could
expedite or simplify trial; (3) the relative administrative difficulty in the two fora
resulting from court congestion; (4) the local interest in deciding local controversies at
home; (5) the public policies of the fora; and (6) in a diversity case, the familiarity of the
two courts with state law. Id. Rogal v. Skilstaf, Inc., 446 F. Supp. 2d 334, 336 (E.D. Pa.
2006).
It would be far easier for the United States District Court, Central District of
California; Southern Division to enforce any judgment’s obtained, as the bulk of the
Defendants assets are located in that Court’s jurisdiction. This particular Court that the
Plaintiffs’ are seeking the case to be transferred to is readily familiar with their own State
statutes, California Civil Code 1798, et sequitur, which the Plaintiffs’ rely upon. It is in
the public interest to see that California upholds its statutes when wrongs have been
committed; and the United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern
Honorable Court to Grant their Emergency Motion and Transfer the within action to the
United States District Court, Central District of California, Southern Division located
within South Orange County at 411 West Fourth Street, Santa Ana, CA 92701-4516 with
appropriately made when the Court can determine which issues will go to trial, Miller v.
Hygrade Food Prods. Corp., 202 F.R.D. 142, 145 (E.D. Pa. 2001). To address this issue
now is simply premature because this action has not proceeded beyond the pleading
stage, and the Court has yet to sort out the intricacies of the relationships among the
Defendants’, United States v. Private Sanitation Indus. Ass’n of Nassau/Suffolk, Inc., 793
F. Supp. 1114, 1154 (E.D. N.Y. 1992). Indeed, although Plaintiffs strongly disagree, this
case could possibly develop so that Plaintiffs cannot prove that Defendants acted in a
common way; however, because the record is not fully developed, it is premature to
foreclose Plaintiffs from pursuing that opportunity. Foreman Indus., Inc. v. Gen. Motors
The purpose of Rule 20(a) is to "promote trial convenience and expedite the final
determination of disputes, thereby preventing multiple law suits." 7 Charles Alan Wright,

Here, the Defendants’ all joined forces with Taitz to destroy Berg and destroy his
paralegal, Liberi and get rid of her and any other parties associated with Berg and Liberi.
All of the Defendants’ went after the Plaintiffs, due to their association with Berg and his
Furthermore, none of the Defendants have raised the issue, cited or established
any legally cognizable prejudice as a result of hearing together all of the Plaintiffs’ claims
against all of them responsibly for Plaintiffs’ injuries; however, there would be great
prejudice to the Plaintiffs. First, severance would be a tactical boon to all Defendants. If
the case is separated and tried in different locations, the Defendants’ would then point to
the other Defendants’ not named in those particular actions if these claims were not tried
together, leaving the jury wondering why a claim had not been brought against the other
Defendants. e.g., The case against Taitz and Sankey is separated and moved to California
while the case against the Hale Defendants is moved to Texas. First problem with this is
all the Plaintiffs’ would have to travel to three (3) different locations and Hale would
blame Taitz for the actions, which would cause the jury to wonder why the Plaintiff failed
to name Taitz. The permutations of this prejudice are boundless. The jury might give a
compromise verdict, in which case Plaintiffs would not get the full value of their
damages. Next, there are many parties who are willing to be witnesses against the
Defendants named herein. Severance of these claims would cause each of the witnesses
to have to be brought to Court three (3) or more times in different States to testify to a
pattern of facts and opinions, where experts are concerned, which are common to all
Defendants. Not to mention the fact, Plaintiffs’ witnesses would have to be deposed
three (3) times if the case is severed. This would triple all costs associated with
Plaintiffs’ witnesses.
Severance would cause inconvenience and prejudice to the parties, especially the
contest the Defense case, in light of the fact that this triplication would burden all the
These are important reasons to try the case as a single, coherent whole, and
Plaintiffs’ urge the Court not to undermine that. Severance is an extraordinary procedure
and cannot be justified unless it will substantially further the ends of judicial economy,
prevention of delay and prejudice, and otherwise serve the ends of justice. This standard
has not been met in this case and therefore, the case should not be severed.

AFFIDAVIT AND DECLARATION OF CHARLES EDWARD LINCOLN, III
1. My name is Charles Edward Lincoln, III. I am over the age of 18, of sound mind,
and have never been convicted of any crime of moral turpitude within the meaning of
Beltran-Tirado v. INS, 213 F.3d 1179, 1183 (9th Cir. 2000) and Quintero-Salazar v.
Keisler, 506 F.3d 688 (9th Cir. 2007); I write this affidavit from personal knowledge.
2. I have a J.D. from the University of Chicago in addition to a Ph.D. from Harvard
University and am a former judicial law clerk to the Honorable Kenneth L. Ryskamp in
this United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, having applied for
3. I was later disbarred due to a December 1999 indictment, which I can only call
politically motivated and unjust, although I take full responsibility for my own errors. I
also apologize to this United States District Court, and in particular to the Honorable
Kenneth L. Ryskamp, for the dishonor my misfortunes may have brought to this court, in
the past and at the present time, by my failures and indiscretions, especially in light of the
honor which Judge Ryskamp bestowed upon me by hiring me as his law clerk.
4. Dr. OrIy Taitz was aware of all details of my background, and in May 2009, hired
me to work with her as a consultant and law clerk on a series of cases relating to the
Article II Constitutional eligibility of the current President of the United States, Barack
5. I prepared all the documents, which Dr. Taitz signed in this case, as I have been
preparing almost all (approximately 95-98%) the documents she has signed in all of her
recent cases pending in Federal court in any and every state where she has appeared. I
never caused any papers to be filed, in this or any other case, which she had not approved
6. I was responsible for delivering all papers in this case to Robert H. Rivernider for
filing. I certainly never gave him any documents, which I knew or suspected to be
fraudulent in any way, shape or form.
7. I never knowingly submitted any false documents to this Court nor did I submit
any documents I had any imaginable reason to believe were false. I submitted every
document signed by Orly Taitz or any other person only in the belief that these were
legitimate documents.
longer a licensed attorney I have been involved in real estate management and mortgage
9. What has happened here is that, much to our mutual discomfort I am sure, Orly
Taitz and I had an intense but adulterous love affair, which continued until November 4,
2009. I can say nothing in our defense except that I fell in love with Dr. Taitz and she
repeated on dozens of occasions that she loved me, but could not leave her husband
because she did not want to lose "her children and her life."
10. I am not proud of these facts, but put together they constitute the simple if
unremarkably tawdry background against which Dr. Taitz' behavior and accusations
against me/all the Plaintiffs in this case must be judged and evaluated.
11. Dr. Taitz terminated our relationship in the aftermath of the October 12, 2009,
disclosures made by one Lucas Daniel Smith on the internet which in rather grotesquely
vulgar and sensationalistic manner revealed my love affair with Dr. Taitz to the world,
and not coincidentally, to arly's husband Yosef Taitz, whom arly has consistently
her children or guests, and who becomes violently angry if his wife is not at home by
12. I provided copies of my affidavit to both Dr. Taitz and her attorney Dr. Jonathan
13. Dr. Levy warned me that I could expect "strong and vengeful" action from Dr.
Taitz' when I spoke to him last on Thursday, November 12, 2009, although he did not
condone such acts, and specifically qualified that he had absolutely nothing to do with
Dr. Taitz' prior letter to this Court Noted "Received" at Docket Entry 1 in this case.
14. I have no other explanation for what Dr. Taitz is doing in this case, but I will give
15. Dr. Taitz' letters to the court and her Sunday November 15, 2009, communication
to me bye-mail (a true and correct copy of which is attached as Exhibit A), are the acts of
an extremely unhappy woman who got caught having an adulterous love affair by her
husband and the entire world at the moment of maximum political and public exposure in
16. Dr. Kathy Garcia-Lawson's separate affidavit submitted alongside this one
17. Neither my affair with Dr. arly Taitz nor anything else which I have done
constitutes a fraud on this court, nor any other court, nor any reason for the Court to
18. It is terribly embarrassing and a professional disgrace when personal lives intrude
19. If this Court feels that the events have in any way colored this Court's perception
of the parties or ability to judge the facts of the case between the Plaintiffs and the
Defendants impartially, or if the Court feels that it will be prejudiced against the
Plaintiffs because of my and Dr. Taitz' love affair, which had NOTHING whatsoever to
Marsha G. Rivernider, and Charles Lincoln, this Court should consider recusal rather
Dr. Taitz may seem, it is merely reflective (at the absolute worst) of this Plaintiffs and
Dr. Taitz' emotional immaturity in the handling of their personal lives, and do not reflect
on ANY of the other matters raised in Plaintiffs' Response to the Court's Second Order
to Show Cause and the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss in any way, shape or form.

Charles,
I received your two phone messages. In the first message your speech was extremely blurry, unclear, second message
sounded like you were a different person.
I believe that you need urgent evaluation and treatment by a psychiatrist. All of your behavior as of late, all of the e-
mails to me, my husband and my attorney suggest the same. You are hurting me, my husband, my children, your wife,
your son, Rverniders and yourself
I am sending a declaration to judge Dimitrious in FL, letting him know, that I believe you are in need of urgent
psychiatric evaluation and possibly treatment, and I believe that case needs to be stayed pending your evaluation and
treatment.

my current office location at 2401 PGA Boulevard, Suite 128, Palm Beach Gardens,
Florida 33410.

when he called me to discuss my concerns regarding rampant abuses in the Family Law
as a competent and well-read student of the law and constitutional history and theory.
in some ways, I think his background makes him more useful and trustworthy than many
licensed attorneys who cannot criticize the system because they depend upon it and are
part of it.

his criticism of the judiciary and the unconstitutional operation of the Family Courts
which routinely deny due process of law in an arbitrary and capricious manner, to the
great injury of spouses and children all over the United States.

Dr. Taitz who indicated that she lacked competent assistance in her litigation, whose end

night telephone call that he was involved in a very intense love affair with Orly Taitz as
well as working for her constantly to the exclusion of everything else in his life. Charles
said that he had been very lonesome since he separated from his wife Elena in late July
2002, and that Orly had made him "feel alive" and he believed that they could work
11. Although he was calling me and updating me as a friend, that night Charles
Lincoln at that time said that he was very disturbed by the events, which had transpired
with Orly, a married woman, and requested that I advise him as a psychologist. I spoke
to Charles about Orly about 3-4 times a week after that, sometimes more.
12. Charles has also come to visit me in Palm Beach Gardens on three separate
occasions since this started, and Orly is always on his mind, as are his concerns with their
relationship.
13. I should make it clear that Charles was never a formal patient of mine, never
paid me for services, and I consider our relationship still to be that of friends rather than
doctor-patient. I counseled him professionally as ifhe were a patient of mine, but more

of October 2-6 in Orange County, California, and did spend some time meeting with Orly

Orly's involvement with Charles or whether she was taking advantage of a lonely man in
18. I have no personal knowledge of any of the papers passing between Charles
and Orly in this case or any other case, but I cannot imagine any reason why Charles
would have needed to falsify documents from Orly because they worked together, very
intensely, for five months and I know he wrote more documents which she signed than
19. Charles copied me on almost everything he wrote for Orly, including his legal
research for her, and his output was nothing less than prodigious. I was concerned for his
well-being and his general health because Orly's demands on him sometimes seemed
excessive.
20. I have read arly's Sunday Novmeber 15,2009, e-mail attached as Exhibit A
to this affidavit and in my professional opinion, this tum of events seems to be rooted in
vindictiveness and hostility, and I find it suspect thatfher conduct and actions have so
radically changed in the immediate aftermath of the October 29,2009, dismissal of the

of her interest in using him on the Obama case, and I think that arly may have been

response to any questions which the Court might have in the future.

found its way to contaminate a significant case such as the present one, but I agree that
Charles had the need to be forthcoming and truthful regarding all the circumstances

26. I have also met Bob Rivemider and nothing in my observation of either
Lincoln or Rivemider suggests to me that they were likely to have been attempting to
falsify Orly's involvement in this case in any way. I am aware that Orly did appear or
attempt to appear in several other cases for Charles E. Lincoln involving mortgages and
