Cal. Evid, Code §450. Cal, Evid. Code §451 establishes matters for which judicial notice is mandatory. Cal. Evid, Code §452 establishes matters for which judicial notice is permissive. Section 451 of the Evidence Code provides that mandatory judicial notice shall be taken of the “decisional, constitutional, and public statutory law of this state and of the United States.” Cal. Evid. Code §451(2). Section 452(d)(1) of the Evidence Code provides that it is appropriate for a court to take judicial notice of “[rJecords of.,.any court in this state” and “as well as “[flacts and propositions that are not reasonably subect to dispute and are capable of immediate and accurate determination by resort to sources of reesonably indisputable accuracy.” Cal, Evid. Code §452(@) and (h). Section 425(d)((2) provides that it is appropriate for a court to take judicial notice of “records of...any court of record of the United States or of any state of the United States.” Cal Evid. Code §452(4)(2). Judicial notice is mandated for matters that comport with the requirements of Evidence Code §452 and §453, provided that the requesting party: (1) gives adequate notice to the adverse party; and (2) includes sufficient information to enable the Court to take judicial notice. See Cal. Evid. Code §§452, 453. Only relevant material may be noticed. Ketchum y, Moses, 24 Cal. 4 1122, 1135 fa. 1 (Cal. 2001); Mangini v. RJ.

California Rules of Court 3.1113(l) provides that “any request for judicial notice must be made in a separate document listing the specific items for which notice is requested and must comply with rule 3.1306(0).” Rule 3.1306 provides that a party requesting judicial notice of ‘material under Evidence Code 452 or 453 must provide the court with and each party with a copy of the material woe won ee ae 10 u 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 2 2 24 25 26 27 28 1. JUDICIAL NOTICE IS PROPERLY TAKEN OF JUDICIAL COUNCIL FORM DV-600 Exhibit 1 is a blank Judicial Council Form DV-600, a document entitled “Order to Register Out-of-State or Tribal Court Protective/Restraining Order (CLETS-OOS).” Judicial notice is properly taken of this form because it is the mandatory form adopted by the Judicial Council for use in all California courts to register an out-of-state protection order under Family Code §6404 as noted in the lower left-hand corner of the first page of the form, Exh. 1. Family Code $§6400-6409 is known as the “Uniform Interstate Enforcement of Domestic Violence Protection Orders Act” and Section 6404(a) provides that any foreign protection order when presented for registration in California “shall” be registered and entered into the California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (CLETS) established under Section 6380. Fam. Code §6380, §6404(a)(1). Section 6401(5) of the Uniform Act defines a “protection order” that may be registered pursuant to Section 6404 as “en injunction or other order, issued by a tribunal under the domestic violence, family violence, or antistalking laws of the issuing state, to prevent an individual from engaging in violent or threatening acts against, harassment of, contact or communication with, or physical proxim ty to, another individual.” Fam. Code §6401(5). Form DV-600 was revised effective July 1, 2015 and is now a two-page form. On the second page of the form it clearly states: “no court hearing is required to register the foreign protection order.” Exh. 1, p. 2. ‘This document is relevant because Lynch argues in her Motion that the Colorado PPO, which Lynch acknowledges was issued under the antistalking laws of Colorado, was improperly 4-15. Lynch further argues registered in California on Form DV-600. Motion, p. 2, lines 5: that such registration “wrongfully modified and tansformed the Colorado order into a domestic violence order.” Id. Lynch also argues that the California Registration is “void” and “unenforceable” because there was no hearing held on the California Registration of the Colorado PPO in California. Id. at pp. 2-5. Plaintiff requests that the Court take judicial notice of Form DV-600 for two purposes: (1) that Form DY-600 clearly states that no hearing is required to register a foreign protection ee AS Eig He peer nae ms sHtRS see Ce ngtitr ug Hee eee as en eee ee eeseser a ehtete UU ee eS Fe eres mt mst ty texte tesa pee order; and (2) that the use of this form is mandatory when registering an out-of-state order that has been issued under the antistalking laws of the issuing state, JUDICIAL NOTICE IS PROPERLY TAKEN OF THE COURT RECORDS OF BOULDER COUNTY COURT IN LEONARD COHEN V. KELLEY LYNCH, ‘CIVIL CASE NUMBER 2008776 California Evidence Code §452(d)(2) provides that a court may take judicial notice of the records of “any court of record of the United States or of any state of the United States.” Cal Evid. Code §452(d)(2). Plaintiff requests the Court notice the following documents from the 2008 civil protection order proceedings agsinst Lynch in Boulder County Court in the matter of Leonard Cohen v. Kelley Lynch, Civil Case Number 2008C776 in the state of Colorado: 1) Plaintiff's Verified Motion for Civil Protection Order filed August 19, 2008; 2) the certified ‘tanscript of the permanent protection order hearing held on September 2, 2008 before the Honorable Carolyn Enichen, Judge of the Boulder County Court; (3) Boulder County Court Clerk's Certificate of Copy, Register of Action and Permanent Civil Protection Order Exhibit 2 is Plaintiff's Verified Motion for Civil Protection Order filed on August 19, 2008. This document is relevant to these proceedings because it shows thet Cohen applied for an under C.R.S. §18-9-111(4) to (6) and order of protection in Colorado against Lynch for stal “physical assault, threat or other situation.” Exh. 2. Exhibit 3 is the certified transcript of the permanent restraining order hearing held on September 2, 2008 in Boulder County Court, State of Colorado, in Civil Case Number 2008C776, before the Honorable Carolyn Enichen, “The report of the official reporter, or official reporter pro tempore, of any court, duly appointed and swom, when transcribed and certified as being a correct transcript of the testimony and proceedings in the case, is prima facie evidence of that testimony ‘and proceedings.” Cal. Code Civ. Proc. §273(a). The certified transcript of the September 2, 2008 hearing is relevant to this action in that it demonstrates that Lynch had notice of the Colorado protection order by making a personal appearance at the permanent protection order hearing and assenting to the no-contact and stay-away terms and conditions of that order. Exh. 3, p. 27, lines Cea ane worn 10 iW 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 11-24, It also demonstrates that Lynch signed the permanent protection order in open. court, thereby waiving any claimed defects in personal service of the temporary protection order or any subsequent challenges to the personal jurisdiction of the Colorado court, Id. Exhibit 4 is the Boulder County Court Clerk’s Certified Copy of the Register of Action in civil case number 2008C776 and a certified copy of Plaintifi’s Permanent Civil Protection Order issued on September 2, 2008, The Register of Action is relevant in that it reflects that the “Motion to Quash” the Colorado PPO filed by Lynch on December 2, 2008 was denied by order of the Boulder County Court on January 12, 2009. Exh. 4. The entry on the Register states: “The Motion to dismiss the PPO is denied. ‘The CT reminds the DEF that she agreed fo the entry of the PPO on 9-2-08." Id. The January 12, 2009 Order denying Lynch’s Motion to Dismiss the permanent protection order is the “last event” listed on the Register. Id, The Register of Action also shows that the temporary protection order was vacated on September 2, 2008 and was replaced by the Permanent Protection Order issued at the permanent restraining order hearing held ‘on September 2, 2008. Id. Accordingly, Plaintiff requests that the Court take judicial notice of the court records from the Boulder County Court, State of Colorado in Exhibits 2-4. UI. JUDICIAL NOTICE IS PROPERLY TAKEN OF COURT RECORDS OF THE APRIL 2012 CRIMINAL TRIAL OF KELLEY LYNCH FOR VIOLATIONS OF PLAINTIFF’S PROTECTION ORDER; THE APPELLATE COURT RECORDS OF LYNCH’S APPEAL OF HER CRIMINAL CONVICTION; AND THE ORDER DENYING HER PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS California courts may take judicial notice of “[rlecords of...any court in this state.” Cal Evid. Code §452(d)(1). “It is settled that a court may take judicial notice of the contents of its own records.” Dwan v. Dixon, 216 Cal. App. 2d 260, 265 (Cal. 1963). A court may take judicial notice of the existence of each documert in a court file, but can only take judicial notice of the truth of facts asserted in documents such as orders, findings of fact and conclusions of law, and | judgments. Magnolia Square Homeowners Ass'n v. Safeco Ins. Co., 221 Cal. App. 3d 1049, 1056 (Cal. Ct. App. 6” 1990).

App. 1* 1995)(udicial notice of the truth cf results reached in orders, statements of decision, and judgments allowed). Exhibit 7 is People’s Proposed Sentencing Memorandum filed by the City Attorney's Office on April 17, 2012 in People v. Lynch, Los Angeles Superior Court Case Number 2CA04539. This document is relevant to these proceedings because Lynch argues in her Motion that “Cohen does not qualify as a protected party according to the Domestic Violence Protection [sic, Prevention] Act.” (Family Code §6200 et seq.) Motion, p. 2, lines 22-23. The issue of whether Cohen qualified as a protected party within the meaning of Family Code §6211 was determined by the tial court in Lynch’s criminal trial. In the People’s Proposed Sentencing Memorandum, the prosecution argued that “victim [Cohen] would be described pursuant to Family Code §6211(e) as someone ‘with whom [defendant} is having or has had a dating or engagement relationship.’” Exh. 7, pp. 2-3. The People argued that Penal Code §1203.097 was applicable for sentencing purposes. 1d, Exhibits 6 and 8 attached hereto are certified transcripts of court proceedings held in People v. Lynch, Los Angeles Superior Court Case Number 2CA04539: 1) the bail hearing held on March 23, 2012 before the Honorable Samuel Mayerson, Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court; and 2) the sentencing hearing held on April 17, 2012 before the Honorable Robert Vanderet, Judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court. The transcript of Lynch's sentencing hearing is relevant to these proceedings because Lynch’s public defenders argued that “the orders that were given in this case, the Colorado and the California orders, were not of the type that are required under [Penal Code] 273.6” bezause of the “requirement of domestic violence in this case.” Exh. 8, pp. 639, lines 6-23. The trial court rejected the defense’s argument and Lynch was convicted by the jury of five counts of Penal Code §273.6(a). Id. at p. 642, lines 6-11. Exhibits 9 and 10 are Appellant’s and Respondent’s opening briefs, respectively, filed in Lynch’s appeal from her criminal conviction, Los Angeles Superior Court Appellate Division Se eran ew nn BRYP Pep preewean 7 era RP SRRESSRERTR RE RR EE Case Number BR050096, Exhibit 11 is the May 29, 2013 Opinion of the Appellate Division of the Los Angeles Superior Court affrming Lynch’s conviction, in Appellate Case Number BR050096, Exhibit 12 is the May 29, 2013 Order of the Appellate Division denying Lynch’s petition for writ of habeas corpus in Case Number BX 001309. The appellate court records are relevant to these proceedings because Lynch raised in her appeal issues that she now seeks to relitigate in her Motion, As in her current Motion, Lynch argued on appeal that the lack of service of the California Registration of the Colorado PPO renders the California Registration “void” and “unenforceable” and violated her due process rights. Motion, pp. 3+5; Exh. 9, pp. 13- 14, The Appellate Court rejected this argument in affirming her conviction and in denying her petition for writ of habeas corpus. Exh. 11, p. 4, lines 21-25; Exh. 12, p, 2, lines 22-27. Lynch’s Appellant's Opening bref is relevant because Lynch did not challenge the validity of the California Registration of the Cclorado PPO, her conviction of five counts of Penal Code §273.6(a) and her sentencing under California’s domestie violenee laws on appeal. Exh. 9, In her Appellant brief, Lynch states: “Mr. Cohen and Ms. Lynch had an intimate relationship, sometimes sexual that spanned for a period of time.” Exh. 9, p. 5. In her Motion, Lynch claims that there was no “intimate” or “dating” relationship with Plaintiff and secks to “vacate” the California Registration of the Colorado PPO on that basis. Motion, p. 2, lines 23-24; p. 7, lines 10-12; p. 9, lines 24-25; Lynch Decl. $6. ‘The Los Angeles Superior Court records in Exhibits 6-12 are relevant to this proceeding because the issues Lynch now raises in ker Motion to attempt to vacate the California Registration of the Colorado PPO have been determired in the prior criminal proceeding for Lynch's violations of Plaintiff's Colorado PPO. The documents show the issues that were raised in Lynch’s criminal trial and considered on appeal. When courts take judicial notice of the existence of court documents, the legal effect of the resulls reached in orders and judgments may be established. Linda Vista Village San Diego Homeowners Assn’n, Inc., 234 Cal. App. 4" at 185. Thus, the legal effect of May 29, 2013 Opinion of the Appellate Division affirming her conviction and the May 29, 2013 Order denying Lynch’s collateral attack upon the final criminal judgment by petition for writ of habeas corpus may be established to bar Lynch from seeking to relitigate issues aa eww oo 10 11 2 13 14 15 16 qT 18 19 20 2 2 23 25 26 27 28 conclusively determined by the criminal judgment. See Exhs. 11,12. Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court take judicial notice of the court records of the Los Angeles Superior Court in Exhibits 6-12. IV. JUDICIAL NOTICE IS PROPERLY TAKEN OF THE COLORADO REVISED STATUTES OPERATIVE AT THE TIME OF THE ISSUANCE OF COHEN’S 2008 COLORADO PERMANENT PROTECTION ORDER AGAINST LYNCH California Evidence Code §452(a) provides that judicial notice may be taken of “the decisional, constitutional, and statutory law of any state of the United States.” Cal. Evid, Code §452(@). Judicial notice is therefore properly taken of Colorado Revised Statutes §13-14-102 and §18-9-I11, attached as Exhibits 13 and 14 hereto. ‘These statutes are relevant because Cohen’s Colorado Permanent Protection Order was issued under C.R.S, §13-14-102, Exh. 5. Section 13- 14-102(1.5) authorizes any Colorado court to issue civil protection orders: “(a) to prevent assaults and threatened bodily harm; (b) fo prevent domestic abuse; (c) to prevent emotional abuse of the elderly or of an at-risk adult; and (d) to prevent stalking.” C.R.S. §13-14-102(1.5)(a)-(d). Exhibit ssued by the 13 is the archival version of the statute cs it existed in 2008 when Cohen’s PPO was Boulder County Court on September 2, 2008. In Cohen’s Verified Petition for Civil Protection Order, Exhibit 2, Cohen applied for the Protection Order against Lynch on the basis of stalking under §18-9-111(4) to (6), C.R.S. and “physical assault, threat or other situation.” Exh. 2, Colorado Revised Statute §18-9-111 is the statute governing stalking. CRS. §18-9- 111@)(@) discusses the legislative intent of its antistalking statute: Because stalking involves highly inappropriate intensity, persistence, and possessiveness, it entails great unpredictability and creates great stress and fear for the victim. Stalking involves severe intrusions on the victim’s personal privacy and autonomy, with an immediate and long-lasting impact on quality of life as well as risks to security and safety of the victim and persons close to the victim, even in the absence of express threats of physical harm. ‘The general assembly hereby recognizes the seriousness posed by stalking and adopts the provisions in this subsection (4) and subsections (5) and (6) of this section with the goal of encouraging and authorizing effective intervention before stalking can escalate into behavior that has even more serious consequences. Because stalking is “an extraordinary tisk crime”, section 5(a) of the antistalking statute provides for a first offense to be charged as a felony under Colorado law. C.R.S. §18-9-111(5)(a). eon Cera Aan 10 Bat 2 13, 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 2 2 24 25 26 27 28 Accordingly, judicial notice is properly taken of the Colorado Revised Statutes in Exhibits 13 and 14. V. JUDICIAL NOTICE IS PROPERLY TAKEN OF FEDERAL LAW PROVIDING FOR FULL FAITH AND CREDIT GIVEN TO PROTECTION ORDERS BY THE STATES, 18 U.S.C. §2265 California Evidence Code §451(a) requires mandatory judicial notice be taken of the “decisional, constitutional, and public statutory law of this state and of the United States.” Cal. Evid. Code §451(a). Plaintiff attaches as Exhibit 15 documents obtained from the United States Code Service Title 18, Part I, Chapter 110A, relating to Domestic Violence and Stalking, ‘The code sections provided are 18 U.S.C. #2265, relating to full faith and credit given to protection orders, and Section 2266, which contains definitions for the statute. These federal code sections are relevant to this proceeding because the Colorado PPO states on page 3 that “This Order or injunction shall be accorded full faith and credit and be enforced in every civil or criminal court of the United States, Indian Tribe or United States Tertitory pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §2265.” Exh. 5, p. 3. Section 2265(a) provides that “any protection order issued consistent with subsection (b) of this section...shall be accorded full faith and credit by the court of another State.” Section 2265(b) provides that “a protection order issued by @ State...is consistent with this subsection if — (1) such court has jurisdiction over the parties and matter under the law of such State...and; (2) reasonable notice and opportunity to be heard is given to the person against whom the order is sought sufficient to protect that person’s right to due process.” Section 2266(5)(B) defines “protection order” to include stalking. Lynch argues in her Motion, without any supporting citations, other than reference to 18 USS.C. §2265(a)-(b), that the Coldrado PPO is not entitled to full faith and credit in California under 18 U.S.C, §2265 because it was not issued under the domestic violence statute of Colorado, which is a misceading of the statute’s provisions. Motion, p. 10. Section 2265(d) provides that “a State...according full faith and credit to an order by a court of another State...shall not notify or require notification of the party against whom a Protection order has been issued that the protection order has been registered or filed in that a a 10 uw 12 13 14 15 16 7 18 19 20 2 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 enforcing State.” 18 U.S.C. §2265(4). Lynch argues in her Motion that lack of Proof of Service of the May 25, 2011 California Registretion makes the Order on the California Registration void and unenforceable and continues to assert, as she did unsuccessfully in her appeal from her criminal conviction, the lack of service as a basis to vacate the California Registration. (See Motion, p. 3, lines 13-14, wherein Lynch argues that “no proof of service dated May 25, 2011 is attached to the registration of the Colorado order in California.”). Section 2265(4) clearly provides that notification of the act of registration of the foreign order in the enforcing state is not, required, Plaintiff requests that the Court take judicial notice of 18 U.S.C. §2265(4) the Notification and Registration provision of the statute and the “definitions” section of 18 U.S.C. §2266(5)(B) which defines “protection order” under the statute to include “(B) any....orders, remedies or relief issued as part of a protection order, restraining order, or injunction pursuant to State...law authorizing the issuance of protection orders, restraining orders, or injunctions for the protection of victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking.” (emphasis supplied) VI. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff respectfully requests the Court take judicial notice of the documents attached hereto in Exhibi's 1-15.

THE COURT: Thank you. Please be seated. Good afternoon. MR. STEINBERG: Good afternoon, Your Honor. THE COURT: I'd like to call Case Number 2008 C 776, Leonard Cohen v. Kelley Lynch. MR. STEINBERG: Your Honor, my name is Harvey Steinberg, I’m here on behalf of Mr. Cohen. We're prepared to proceed. THE COURT: Where’s your client? MR. STEINBERG: He is in California unable to make it, but we have witnesses and are prepared to proceed without him being here. THE COURT: Okay. Is Ms. Lynch in the courtroom? Okay. You need to have a seat up here at this courtroom. MS. LYNCH: Oh, at that table. Also, I thought he was in tour in Europe. THE COURT: It’s irrelevant to me that he’s not here. MS. LYNCH: Okay. I don’t think there’s any witnesses to the emails to the IRS. THE COURT: qWhat? aa wk wow 10 ul 12 13 4 15 16 aw 18 19 20 2 2 23 25 MS, LYNCH: Like they say. THE COURT: What did you say? MS. LYNCH: I said I don’t think there was any witnesses to the email to the IRS Commissioner’s staff. THE COURT: Okay. First of all, I’m going to tell you the rules of the road here. MS. LYNCH: Okay. THE COURT: I am the judge who is presiding over this case, and we don’t have the money in Colorado to have court reporters, we have tape recorders. So -~ MS. LYNCH: Is this taped? THE COURT: Pardon? MS. IYNCH: Is this taped? THE COURT: Yes. MS. LYNCH: Can I subpoena it later? THE COUR hat? MS. LYNCH: THE COURT: You can apply for a transcript and pay a filing fee or a transcript fee, sure. So the reason I’m bringing this up is because it is very important that everyone understand that we can’t talk at the same time. MS. LYNCI Okay. Thank you, Your Honor. THE COURT: x example, when I talk, no one else can talk. When Mr. Steinberg has the floor, he has 10 ML 12 1B Is 16 17 19 20 2 22 23 24 25 the floor. When it’s your turn to talk, Ill let you know as well. MS. LYNCH: Okay. Thank you. THE COURT: The reason that we are here is because the Plaintiff appeared on August 19, 2008, requesting a temporary protection order, and upon sworn testimony review of the attached affidavits the Court granted that. ‘The purpose of today’s hearing is for the Court to determine whether or not that temporary order should become permanent. MS. LYNCH: Could I just ask one question at this point? ‘THE COURT: Yeah. MS. LYNCH: Who gave that sworn testimony? Was it Leonard Cohen himsel£? THE couRT: It was. MS. LYNCH: He came into this courtroom? THE COURT: He did. MS. LYNCH: kay. Thank you. THE COURT: Now, with regard to today’s hearing, Mr. Steinberg has indicated that he wishes to go forward on behalf of his client. And you have a decision to make. Your decision is either one -- MS. LYNCH: Right. THE COURT: -- to agree to this and to agree to Bee 10 u R 13 4 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 23 24 2s 4 not ever have any contact with him, or secondly to object to it and to request an-evidentiary hearing. MS. LYNCH: I'd like to request an evidentiary hearing. THE COURT: Okay. So that’s what we/re going to do and we're going to start right now. MS. LYNCH: Okay. THE COURT: And it’s Mr. Steinberg’s burden, so to speak, to go forward and show the Court why if this is not issued Mr. Cohen continues to be at risk. MS. LYNCH: And could you -~ and will he also be explaining why Robert Corey’s Law Firm is protected? There are serious issues here with my being defrauded ~~ THE COURT: Okay. Hold on. MS, LYNCH: -- and that kind of thing. THE COURT: There are ~~ there are a lot of affidavits in the file indicating that you have a long history with Mr. Cohen, and there’s perhaps some financial issues. You went to the IRS. T want this to be xeally important for you to hear. MS. LYNCH: Yeah, I'm Listening. THE COURT: This hearing -- MS. LYNCH: Yeah. THE COUR -- is only about the safety of the Plaintiff. It isn’t about the IRS for example. And I ew aw 10 N 12 13 14 15 18 19 20 at 2 23 24 25 don’t mean financial -- MS. LYNCH: Well, I understand that. THE COURT: Okay. S80 that’s the subject, the topic, and the heart of the matter. MS. LYNCH: But at -~ THE COURT: Safety of the Plaintiff. MS. LYNCH: But there is evidence here that this man has tried to silence and terrorize me, crush and destroy me -~ THE COURT: Okay. MS. LYNCH: -- so it’s hard for me to sit here. THE COURT: Probably it would be if those things were true, but let me tell you another thing. MS. LYNCH: Okay. THE COURT: ‘This is not -- MS. LYNCH: Mm-hnum. about whether you are at risk THE COURT: for your safety. This is not =- that is not the issue at all. MS. LYNCH: No, this is a preemptive legal strike, but -- THE COURT: We don’t -- we don’t in Colorado have what are called mtual restraining orders -- MS, LYNCH: You don’t? I couldn't get a reciprocal one? Pre) 10: n 12 13 4 is 16 v7 18 19 20 a 2 23 24 25 6 THE COURT: You could only apply as did he, pay the filing fee, and allege the grounds by which you think that you are in danger. But right now this moment -~ MS. LYNCH: Min-hmm. THE COURT: -- we are proceeding only on the issue of whether or nct you pose a risk to his safety. MS. LYNCH: And in the future can I attack this if it’s brought -- if I can prove it’s fraudulent and there's perjury going on here? THE COURT: First of all T haven't even ruled. MS. LYNCH: Right. THE COURT: But if there’s a ruling that is adverse to you and you -- and you wish to appeal the proceedings, you-can always do that. MS. LYNCH: Okay. Fine. THE COURT: As can anybody. MS. LYNCH: ‘Thank you very much for your time. THE COURT: You're welcome. Mr. Steinberg, you may proceed. MR. STEINBERG: {I call Kelley Lynch to the stand, THE COURT: Okay. Please come right up here. MS.

THE COURT: Please be seated. Just make sure that microphone is turned right towards you which it looks like it is. MS. LYNCH: And Ronald Mitchell is in the courtroom and I was wondering if he had contact with Cohen. THE COURT: What I’m going to do because I don’t know who that is or what this is about - MS. LYNCH: Uh-huh, THE COURT: -- is simply to make a sequestration order, and I order any potential witnesses to be seated in the hall and order them not to discuss testimony with any other person. MS. LYNCH: So would that include Mr. Ronald Mitchell sitting right there? THE COURT: I have no idea if he’s a witness. MS. LYNCH: He -~ I don’t know how he could be a witness. 2 3 4 8 THE COURT: Well, I just -~ my ruling has to do with potential witnesses. And you also have the right to call witnesses. MS. LYNCH: I -- I don’t want to call witnesses. I have plenty for later. THE COURT: Okay.

BLOOMQUIST, Supervising Attorney Family Violence Unit PEOPLE'S PROPOSED SENTENCING MEMORANDUM, tae 20 a 2 B as a6 ” a8 as 20 a 2 4 2s 28 a7 20 L INTRODUCTION ‘The defendant Kelley Lynch (“Defendant”), for more than seven years, sent victim Leonard Cohen (“Victim”) thousands of emails and left several dozen voicemail messages| During this time, Victim first sought and obtained a three year restraining order from the Los, ‘Angeles Superior Courts. Vietim later sought and obtained a permanent restraining order from, the Colorado courts, which was later registered with the Los Angeles Superior Counts in 2012, After a one week jury trial, Defendant was convicted on two counts of meking obscene and/or threatening telephone calls, a violation of Penal Code §653m(a), and was convieted on five counts of violating a restraining order, a violation of Penal Code §273.6(a). During the trial Victim spoke in detail about how Defendant's actions were both annoying and threatening, During the same time that Defendant was harassing Vietim, as well as during trial, Defendant repeatedly contacted Bruce Cutler, a criminal defense attorney in New York, via bot! ‘email, letters and voice mail messages. (See Exhibit A for letters sent by Defendant to Mr. Cutler since Defendant hes been in custody.) Defendant has also repeatedly contacted Los Angeles District Attomey Steve Cooley vie email for several years. In an email sent to Mr: Cooley in January 2012, Defendant states several times throughout an email “EXECUTE Steve Cooley.” (See Exhibit B for further detail.) ‘The maximum penalty for each violaticn of Penal Code §653m(a) is six months in the county jail and/or a fine of $1,000.00. The maximum penalty for each violation of Penal Codé §273.6(@) is one year in the county jail and/or fine of $1,000.00, Penal Code §653m provide that 28 a condition of probation a defendant may be ordered to complete counseling. In addition, ai ‘Victim would be described pursuant to Family Code §6211(c) as someone “with whom thq PEOPLE'S PROPOSED SENTENCING MEMORANDUM, “2 a0 n 2 3 ua 1s ae u as 20 a 22 2 24 28 26 2a [defendant] is having or has had a dating or engagement relationship,” Penal Code §1203.097 is applicable for sentencing purposes. ARGUMENT nL. SECTION 654 OF THE PENAL CODE REQUIRES THAT SENTENCING BE PERMANENTLY STAYED ON THE ANNOYING TELEPHONE CALLS COUNTS, BUT NOT ON THE RESTRAING ORDER COUNTS. Section 654 of the California Penal Code is applicable where multiple convictions are based on a single criminal act or omission. Penal Code Section 654 provides in pertinent par| that “[aJn act or omission which is made punishable in different ways by different provisions o! this code may be punished under either of such provisions, but in no case can it punished under more then one.” The California Supreme Court has interpreted this section to prevent multipl punishments for different acts or omissions where the defendant entertained a principal objective to which other objectives, if any, were merely incidental, People us. Miller (1997) 18 C.3 873} 875; People vs. Beamon (1973) 8 C. 3d 625, 639. For example, in Beamon, where the defendant was convicted of kidnapping and second degree robbery, the court held that both crimes were committed with the intent and objective solely to rob the victim of his truck, Jd. at 639, The defendant could therefore only be punished for one of the crimes. See also, People us, Rateliffe (1981) 124 Cal. App. 3d 808, where the court held that the defendant could not be punished for both kidnapping and false imprisonment. Here, Defendant committed the act of making annoying telephone calls and violating restraining order with one objective in mind: tc harass Victim. Defendant can therefore only be PEOPLE'S PROPOSED SENTENCING MEMORANDUM cee 10 a a2 23 u as as 18 as 22 23 24 as a 28 sentenced on one of the counts, Where, as in the present situation, a defendant suffers multiple convictions, some of which are precluded by cperation of section 654, the accepted procedure is to sentence the defendant for each count not affected by section 654, and stay the execution of 654 is applicable. Miller, 18 C. 3d 873, 876; Beamon 8 C. 31 the convictions to which se: 625, 640. The stay of sentence on the affected counts are effective pending the successful service for the more serious conviction after which time the stay of sentence becomes permanent. Miller at 886, Therefore, since the maximum sentence on the restraining orders counts are greater than the maximum sentence on count the annoying telephone counts, this Court must sta the sentence on the annoying telephone counts. However, Penal Code §654 does not apply to the restraining order counts @s the convictions on those counts occurred on different dates, 1, DEFENDANT'S DUE PROCESS RIGHTS ARE NOT VIOLATED IF THIS COUT CONSIDERS ACTS NOT LEADING TO CONVICTIONS 4S LONG AS THERE IS SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR SUCH ACTS. Ifa defendant, who is convicted of a misdemeanor, is not referred to a probation officer the court may consider any information in sentencing such defendant which could have beei included in a probation report. Pen. Code §1203(d). ‘The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the same evidentiary rules which arq used in a trial to determine a defendant's guilt are not applicable in a sentencing hearing William vs, New York (1949) 337 U.S, 241, 247. A sentencing judge is not confined to the narrow issue of guilt. Rather, the sentencing judge's primary concern is setting the appropriate sentence for that particular defendant based on the fullest information possible coneeming th PEOPLES PROPOSED SENTENCING MEMORANDUM. ere n 12 2 u 16 W Fry 19 20 a 22 2 Ey 2s 26 ” 28 defendant's life and characteristics. Jd, If such information is not made available to the judge, the Supreme Court reasoned, a repeat offender could receive the same sentence as a first offender. The court in Williams rejected the defendant’s claim that his due process rights had been violated where the sentencing court relied on information not obtained through @ formal evidentiary hearing, The Supreme Court riled that “the due process clause should not bd treated as a device for freezing the evidential procedure of sentencing in the mold of tial procedure.” Id. at 25). The California Supreme Court is in accord with the Williams court as long as thd sentencing hearing is fundamentally fair. See, People vs. Peterson (1973) 9 Cal-3d 717. It this therefore permissible for a court to consider evidence that would not be admissible at trial, such as an arrest, in sentencing as long as there is substantial basis for believing the information eith ‘contained in the probation report or presented at the sentencing hearing is accurate and reliable] Ja, at 727; People vs. Calloway (1974) 37 Cal App.3d 905, 908. Thus, the kind of informatio contained in a rap sheet is not acceptable, but supporting factual information such as a statement by the victim, police reports, or disposition of the arrest is acceptable. Ratcliffe, 124 Cal. App.3 808, 823. In addition, an arrest not resulting in a conviction must be labeled as such to prevent the sentencing court from mistaking an arrest for a convietion. Calloway, 37 Cal.App 3d 905} 908, For example, in Peterson, the court held it was permissible to allow a police officer t testify as to uncharged bad acts by the defendent at sentencing. The defendant was allowed to present evidence to the contrary, and there was a substantial basis for believing the officer’ testimony. 9 Cal.3d 717, 728. A similar resull was reached by the court in Ratcliffe, where th court held that the defendant was not denied due process of the law by a probation report which included police contacts not resulting in convictions. 124 Cal.App.3d 808, 822. PEOPLE'S PROPOSED SENTENCING MEMORANDUM ao a a a 1“ as as v 18 as 20 a 2 23 24 as 26 27 28 Here, in addition to harassing Vietim, Defendant has also harassed Mr. Cutler and Mr. Cooley. (See Exhibit C for letters from Mr. Cutler and the Los Angeles County Disti Antomney's Office.) wv PROBATION IS A PRIVILEGE NOT A RIGHT AND SHOULD BE DENIED IN THE PRESENT CASE UNLESS CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE MET BY DEFENDANT. It is well settled that probation is a privilege, an act of clemency and not a right, th: granting of which is within the sound discretion of the trial court. (People ys, Pinon (1973), 3: Cal, App. 3d 120, 123.) The California Supreme Court has stated that: ‘The paramount concer in sentencing must be the protection of society. The interests of the defendant are legitimate by secondary concem, Granting a convicted criminal the qualified liberty of probation subjects society to the risk that it will continue to be victimized during the period when he would otherwise be confined. In determining whether to grant probation, the judge must therefore satisfy himself that the risks inherent in that disposition are outweighed by the potential benefits. (People vs. Warner (1978), 20 Cal 3d, 678, 689, superseded by statute on other grounds.) For example, in People vs, Peterson (1973), 9 Cal.3d 717, 728, where the defendant had) been convicted of possession of heroin, the court allowed one of the arresting officers to testify to the defendant’s history as a drug dealer. Based on that testimony, the California Supreme Court reasoned that it was appropriate to deny probation in such a case, and sentence the defendant to state prison. (Id.) In the present situation, based on the testimony of Victim, as well as the information i the attached exhibits, it is clear that Defendant poses a serious safety risk to the community at ‘PEOPLE'S PROPOSED SENTENCING MEMORANDUM. -6- a 2 a u as as an as 1s 20 a 22 23 24 25 as 28 large in general, and to all the people mentioned in her letters, emails and voicemails i particular. What is particularly concerning is the recent letters sent by Defendant to Mr. Cutler Reading those letters, one would never conclude that 2 long standing relationship did not exist between Defendant and Mr. Cutler, It seems that Defendant has an undiagnosed mental healt issue, Therefore, the People are recommending that pursuant to Penal Code §12032, Defendant either allow sentencing 10 be continued for ¢ brief period and, in the interim, be ordered t comply with a mental health evaluation by Sandra G. Baca, PsyD., LMFT of About Pact Domestic Violence Project, or the be placed on five years probation pursuant Penal Cod §1203a, ordered to reside for at least one year at Gateways, ordered to take any medication tha is prescribed while housed at Gateways, be given for credit for time served, as well as credit for any time in custody until Defendant can be transferred either by a representative from Gateways or the Los Angeles Sheriff Department, ordered to pay a restitution fine of $100.00, a domestic violence fund fine of $400.00, ordered not to cwn, possess, buy or sell any dangerous or dead ‘weapons for the next 10 years, ordered not to annoy, harass, molest, or otherwise disturb th peace of any victim or witness involved in this case, and ordered to stay 100 yards away from] and have no contact with Michelle Rice, Robe-t Kory, and 9300 Wilshire Boulevard in Bever! Hills, California. In addition, pursuant to Penal Code $136.2 and the documentation included in th People’s attached exhibits, Defendant should also be ordered to stay 100 yards away from, and have no contact with Bruce Cutler, Esq. and Distict Atomey Steve Cooley. (See also, People vs. Ponice (2009) 173 Cal.App.4" 378, 382-383; People vs. Stone (2004) 123 Cal.App.a" 153 158-161.) The People are not requesting a stey away order for Victim as Victim already has 4 PEOPLE'S PROPOSED SENTENCING MEMORANDUM, a 20 a a2 a a as 16 uv ae as 20 a 22 23 24 28 26 a7 28 permanent restraining order against Defendan:. Instead, People are requesting that compliance with the order be made part of the terms and ecnditions of Defendant's probation. Based on Dr. Baca’s letter (see Exhi>it D), as well as the actions of Defendant, th People believe Defendant is not en appropriate cendidate for probation if she is not willing ‘address the serious issues that led her down the path of conviction in this case. If Defendant refuses to accept People’s recommended terms and conditions of probation, probation should denied and Defendant should be sentenced to the maximum sentence of five years, ve CONCLUSION For all the foregoing reasons, the People respectfully request the Court to impose the recommended sentence.

I too have been subjected to Ms. Lynch’s constant telephonic and electronic harassment for the past five years. I have never met ‘Ms. Lynch in person, however I came into contect with her while I was defending Philip Spector. As a result of representing Philip, she began calling me. Ms, Lynch has left me countless voicemails almost every single night for the past five yoars. Part of my daily morning routine was to go through and delete upwards of 30 voicemails ‘that she had left the night before. ‘There was a time whea Ms. Lynch found the fax number of the law firm ftom whom I sublet office space and she would fax hundreds of pages every day, making it impossible for the firm to receive legitimate faxes, until the IT people were able to block her number, Once Ms. Lynch discovered my email address, she began sending hundreds of emails to me every single day. I tried adjusting the spam filters, but she changed email addresses to evade ‘these measures. I even set Outlook to send her an automated response to every single email informing her that her emails were being automatically deleted and unread, but this too did nothing to slow her steady barrage. ‘My partner, Tim Parlatore, spoke with Ms. Lynch several times on the phone in an attempt to convince her to stop. Every time, she would agree to stop, this would only provide me ‘with a 48-72 hour reprieve before she would recommence her campaign in earnest. ‘This bombardment has continued unabated until recently when Ms, Lynch was remanded, Not having followed the news, I only Jeamed of this case when I began receiving letters from Ms, Lynch with a return address at the Lynwood Jail While Ms. Lynch never threatened physical violence against me, as she apparently did with Mr. Coben, this has had a significantly negative impact on my life, I bave had ‘wr COTLERAREPARLATORE.CoMt conversations with Pat Dixon, of the District Attorney's Offices as far back as 2008 asking them to do something about this woman. I am glad to hear that she has finally been brought to justice ‘and I hope that she will be punished accordingly and that I never have to heer from her again.

This request is based on the volume of annoying and threatenirg communications directed at Mr. Cooley already received into evidence at this trial, coupled with an additional email received on January 21, 2012, that directly threatened to “execute Steve Cooley.” Kelley Eynch began her contacts with the District Attomey’s Office in 2007.

It appears she has targeted her rage to several people for her current problems. The threats about “execute Cooley” are a source of concern. Any threats made by the defendant must be taken as credible and serious. From her writings and the barge of {etters and emails she has sent suggest she is out of control and possibly dangerous. Having not met with Ms. Lynch my supposition is she is suffering from 301.0 Paranoid Personality Disorder (Diagnostic. Statistical Manuel of Mental Disorders-V1, published by the American Psychiatric Association) Four of the following must be present to met the eriteria. 1. A pervasive distrust and suspiciousness of other such that their motives are interpreted as malevolent present in a varity of contexts, 2. Suspects, without sufficient basis, that others are exploiting, harming, or deceiving him or ber 3._ Is preoccupied with unjustified doubts about the loyalty or trustworthiness or friends or associates 4, Unwerranted fear that information will be used against him or her 5. Reads hidden demeaning or threatening meanings into benign remarks or events juries or slights 6. Bears grudges ie, is unforgiving or insults, 7. Perceives attacks on his or her character o: reputation that are not apparent and is quick to react angrily to counterattacks 8. Need to have the last word ~"+« Re:Lyneh, Kelly ‘Case No.: 2CA04539 RECO! ENCING CONDITION: Ms. Kelly would benefit being ordered to an inpatient locked psychiatric facility such as Gateways where she will benefit from a psychiatric evaluation, treatment and medication. My impression is she will not comply with court orders if she is released. Left o her own devices the fear exists she will act out her perceived injustices. There are 2 couple of ways to stop the bombardment of letters and emails, one isto provide 4 list to the jail authorities of people blocked from receiving correspondence from Ms. Lynch ‘would be helpful. Another would be asking the court to issue an order addressed to the jail authorities that, Ms. Lynch is prohibited from using the telephone. Ms. Lynch revels in a false belief of entitlement “if, people are bothered by the letters she sends, it isnot her problem and they should change their addresses.

KELLY; MICHAEL KELLY, DEPUTY PUBLIC DEFENDER. MR. RAMNANEY: NIKHIL RAMNANEY, DEPUTY PUBLIC DEFENDER, ON BEHALF OF MS. LYNCH WHO IS PRESENT IN CUSTODY BEFORE THE couRT. MS. STREETER: SANDRA STREETER FOR THE PEOPLE. THE COURT: OKAY. THERE'S A COUPLE OF MATTERS BI Ha He wene 11 12 13 14 18 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 624 TO TAKE UP. ONE, DEFENDANTS HAVE FILED A MOTION, NOTICE OF MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL DUE TO NEWLY DISCOVERED EVIDENCE. I HAVE CAREFULLY READ THAT AND I'M GOING TO DENY THE MOTION WITHOUT FURTHER ARGUMENT. THE MOTION ITSELF CONTAINS NO NEW EVIDENCE, MERELY THE PROMISE OF SOME NEW EVIDENCE. BUT EVEN IP IT WERE HERE AND AS DESCRIBED, THE COURT BELIEVES THAT THE DESCRIPTION FAILS 70 MEET EVEN THE FIRST TEST, THE FIRST PRONG OF THE TEST SET FORTH IN PEOPLE V. WILLIAMS IN THAT THE EVIDENCE ITSELF 1S NOT NEWLY DISCOVERED. THE DEFENDANT HERSELF, FROM THE DESCRIPTION, WAS CLEARLY AWARE OF ALL OF THE FACTS LAID OUT. WE HAD DISCUSSICNS ABOUT THEM DURING THE TRIAL WITH COUNSEL, SO I DO NOT FIND THE EVIDENCE TO BE NEWLY DISCOVERED. SECONDLY, THE COURT IS CONVINCED THAT IT WOULD NOT RENDER A DIFFERENT RESULT, PROBABLE, EVEN IF ADMITTED ON RETRIAL. IN THE FIRST PLACE, IT COULD HAVE NO EFFECT ON THE FIVE 273.6(A) COUNTS, WHICH ARE VIOLATIONS OF COURT ORDERS. SECONDLY, WHILE THE TWO 653M COUNTS OF WHICH THE DEFENDANT WAS CONVICTED DO HAVE A LEGITIMATE BUSINESS REASON EXCEPTION, THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED AT TRIAL MAKES IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT THE CONTACTS DEFENDANT HAD BOTH IN TERMS OF E-MAILS AND TELEPHONE CALLS WERE REPLETE WITH MATTERS THAT HAD ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY TAX ISSUES, SO THAT EVEN IF THE EVIDENCE ESTABLISHED SUCH BASIS, IT WOULD NOT PROVIDE oY Kaw ew ne a 12 13 14 18 16 ay 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 625 ANY EXCUSE WHATSOEVER FOR THE VIOLATIONS THAT DEALT WITH THINGS AS FAR-FETCHED AS THE PHILLIP SPECTOR TRIAL AND JUST SCURRILOUS COMMEKTS ABOUT DEFENDANT -- ABOUT DEFENDANT'S VICTIM. 80 THE MOTION, IT SEEMS TO THE COURT, IS NOT WELL TAKEN AND IS DENIED. LET'S TURN TO SENTENCING. I HAVE READ THE PEOPLE'S MEMORANDUM ON SENTENCING, AND I'LL HAVE MORE COMMENTS ON IT IN AWHILE. BUT AT THIS TIME DOES DEFENSE COUNSEL WANT TO MAKE A PRESENTATION? MR. KELLY: I AM LOOKING OVER THE EVIDENCE PRESENTED BY THE PEOPLE. IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF EXTRA EXHIBITS THAT I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK OVER THE CONTENT. I WILL NOTE THAT MS, LYNCH DOES NOT HAVE ANY CALIFORNIA CRIMINAL RECORD, AS FAR AS I CAN TELL AND TO THE EXTENT THERE IS ANYTHING, THERE'S BEEN NO INDICATION THAT THERE'3 BEEN ANY OFFENSE IN MS. LYNCH'S HISTORY THAT INDICATES ANY PROPENSITY TOWARDS VIOLENCE OR ANY VIOLENT CONDUCT IN HER PAST. THIS ITSELF WAS A NONVIOLENT OFFENSE. THERE WERE, AS THE COURT MENTIONED, MULTIPLE B-MAILS, BUT THAT DOESN'T RISE TO THE LEVEL OF VIOLENCE. ALSO, AS WAS NOTED DURING THE TRIAL, MUCH OF THIS TIME, THIS PER:OD, MS. LYNCH WAS -- OR ACTUALLY, AS FAR AS I CAN UNDERSTAND FROM THE ENTIRE PERIOD, MS. LYNCH WAS NOT EVEN IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. SO THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY LEGITIMATE THREAT THROUGH THIS eoYauewne a. 12 13 14 18 16 17 18 19 20 22 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 626 ENTIRE PROCESS IN THE LAST YEAR WHILE THERE WAS 1101 EVIDENCE OF SIMILAR E-MAILS, I DO BELIEVE THE CONDUCT AND THE CONTENTS OF THE E-MAILS WAS ACTUALLY IMPROVED IN THE LAST YEAR IN TERMS OF WHAT THE ACTUAL CONTENT SIGNIFIES DEFENSE WOULD ALSO ARGUE THAT THIS WAS A CONTINUOUS ACT, THAT IT'S SOMEWHAT ARBITRARY, THE DELINEATION BETWEEN COUNT TO COUNT, TAIS WAS ESSENTIALLY ONE CONTINUOUS ACT WITH THESE E-MAILS THAT HAD BEEN ONGOING FROM FEBRUARY OF 2011 TO JANUARY 2012 AND SO BASED ON THAT, WE DO BELIEVE PROBATION SHOULD BE GIVEN TO MS. LYNCH, WITH ANGER MANAGEMENT CONDITIONS PERHAPS, COMMUNITY SERVICE OBVIOUSLY A PROTECTIVE ORDER AND A STRONG ADMONITION TO MS. LYNCH TO NOT INCLUDE OR CONTACT BY PHONE OR £-MAIL MR. COHEN, AND -- AS WELL AS HIS REPRESENTATIVES. THERE IS STILL A MECHANISM PERHAPS OF WHICH, IF THERE ARE DOCUMENTS THAT SHE DOES NEED, THERE COULD BE A MECHANISM TO OBTAIN THOSE RECORDS NOT DIRECTLY THROUGH MS. LYNCH AND BETWEEN MS. LYNCH AND ANY REPRESENTATIVE OF MR. COHEN. THE couR WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A VICTIM IMPACT STATEMENT I UNDERSTAND THE VICTIM IN THIS CASE MS. STREETER: YES. THE COURT: MR. COHEN, DO YOU WANT TO COME FORWARD? MS. STREETER: AND AFTER MR. COHEN ADDRESSES THE COURT, THE PEOPLE HAVE SOME COMMENTS. Oo oY aueuwne 10 a. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 627 THE COURT: YES. PLEASE COME FORWARD. MS. STREETER: YES. THE COURT: THAT WOULD BE FINE. THE WITNESS: THANK YOU, YOUR HONOR. I'M GRATEFUL FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK. I WANT TO THANK THE COURT AND THE PERSON OF YOUR HONOR FOR THE CORDIAL, EVEN-HANDED AND ELEGANT MANNER IN WHICH THESE PROCEEDINGS HAVE UNFOLDED. IT WAS A PRIVILEGE AND AN EDUCATION TO TESTIFY IN THIS COURTROOM. I WANT TO THANK THE CITY PROSECUTOR, MS. SANDRA JO STREETER FOR HER UNFLINCHING COMMITMENT TO THE CASE, FOR HER WISE, HONEST AND STRAIGHTFORWARD METHODS OF UNCOVERING THE TRUTH, AND FOR HER LIFELONG DEVOTION TO THE PEOPLE'S CAUSE. I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE JURY FOR THEIR PATIENCE AND THEIR DISCERNMENT, AND FOR THEIR GRACIOUS ACCEPTANCE OF THE INTERRUPTION TO THEIR LIVES. IT IS MUCH APPRECIATED. I WANT TO THANK THE PUBLIC DEFENDERS FOR THEIR RESTRAINT IN PRESENTING ONLY A PORTION OF THE MATERIAL THAT THEY KNEW WAS UNTRUE. I WANT TO THANK THE DEFENDANT, MS. KELLEY LYNCH, FOR INSISTING ON A JURY TRIAL, THUS EXPOSING TO THE LIGHT OF DAY HER MASSIVE DEPLETION OF MY RETIREMENT SAVINGS AND YEARLY EARNINGS, AND ALLOWING THE COURT TO OBSERVE HER PROFOUNDLY UNWHOLESOME, OBSCENE AND see eur au 10 aL 12 13 14 15 16 aq 18 19 20 2L 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 628 RELENTLESS STRATEGIES TO ESCAPE THE CONSEQUENCES OF HER WRONGDOING, THIS EIGHT-YEAR ORDEAL OF HARASSMENT OF MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, MY ASSOCIATES AND MYSELF WAS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY TO AVOID OR POSTPONE THE INEVITABLE DAY OF RECKONING WITH THE IRS, THE DAY WHEN SHE WILL BE BOUND TO ACCOUNT FOR THE TAXES SHE HAS NEGLECTED TO PAY ON THE STOLEN MONEY THAT SHE RECEIVED AND FAILED TO REPORT. TMMEDIATELY UPON A FORENSIC ANALYSIS OF THE THEFT BY MOSS ADANS, A HIGHLY RESPECTED FIRM IN THIS CITY, WE SUBMITTED A THEFT LOSS AMENDMENT TO THE IRS, AND THIS WAS THE CONSIDERED BASIS OF THEIR REFUND TO ME, A REFUND FOR THE TAXES I HAD PAID ON THE STOLEN MONEYS THAT I DID NOT RECEIVE.

LYNCH HERSELF, HER FORMER TAX ATTORNEYS (WHOM SHE FIRED), HER ACCOUNTANT WHO RESIGNED, THE IRS, AND TWO COURTS OF LAW, ONS IN CALIFORNIA, A FEDERAL COURT IN COLORADO, HAVE LONG BEEN IN POSSESSION OF THESE VERY SAME ANC VERY PUBLIC FORENSIC REPORTS WHICH THE PUBLIC DEFENDERS DARED TO ASSERT WE WITHHELD, AND OFFERED THIS FICTIONAL WITHHOLDING AS JUSTIFICATION FOR MS, LYNCH'S DAILY OBSCENITIES, DEATH THREATS AND MENACING FANTASIES OF REVENGE. MS, LYNCH IS IN FULL POSSESSION OF THE FORENSIC ANALYSIS, SHE JUST DOESN'T LIKE IT AND SHE HAS GONE TO UNACCEPTABLE -- UNACCEPTABLE LENGTHS TO IGNORE, DISCREDIT, THREATEN AND VILIFY ANY PERSON WHO, OR INSTITUTION, THAT HAS AFFIRMED IT. COLA mewn e 10 un 12 13 14 18 16 a7 18 19 20 2. 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 629 THIS IS, AS PROSECUTOR SANDRA JO STREETER SHARPLY OBSERVED, NOTHING BUT THE UNRAVELING OF A CON IT GIVES ME NO PLEASURE TO SEE MY ONE-TIME FRIEND SHACKLED TO A CHAIR IN A COURT OF LAW HBR CONSIDERABLE GIFTS BENT TO THE SERVICE OF DARKNESS DECEIT AND REVENGE. I FEAR THAT HER OBSESSIVE COMMITMENT TO THESE ACTIVITIES WILL RESUME AS SOON AS MS. LYNCH IS RELEASED. THEREFORE, I WILL BE GRATEFUL FOR WHATEVER RESPITE THE COURT WILL ALLOW MY CHILDREN MY GRANDCHILDREN, MY FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES AND MYSELF I MUST CONFESS, SIR, THAT MS. LYNCH'S CONTEMPT FOR EVERY COURT ORDER AND EVERY LEGAL RESTRAINT THAT WE HAVE OBTAINED IN THE PAST, HER DEFIANCE OF THE LAW AND HER PLEDGE OF UNRELENTING WARFARE, DO NOT PRODUCE CONFIDENT FEELINGS OF RELIEF OR OPTIMISM FINALLY, YOUR HONOR, I WOULD LIKE TO READ INTO THE PUBLIC RECORD MY GRATITUDE TO MY ATTORNEY, MS. MICHELLE RICE. WITHOUT HER METICULOUS MS. LYNCH ATTENTION TO A STAGGERING VOLUME OF MATERIAL (THOUSANDS OF E-MAILS, DOZENS AND DOZENS OF VILE VOICE MESSAGES) WE WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY, AND THE FULL EXTENT OF MS. LYNCH'S DELIBERATE CRUELTIES AND EVASIONS WOULD NOT BE KNOWN. IT IS THROUGH MS. RICE'S PAINSTAKING MANAGEMENT OF THESE TOXIC DETAILS THROUGH MULTIPLE COURTS, BEFORE EMINENT JUDGES, THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PRESENT THIS CASE TO OUR ESTEEMED CITY PROSECUTOR MS. SANDRA JO STREETER, WHO THEN SO SKILLFULLY AND STEADFASTLY ARGUED IT IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE BEFORS THIS eyrauewnn 10 a 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 ai 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 630 COURT AND THIS JURY. YOUR HONOR, I AM DEEPLY GRATEFUL TO ALL WHO HELPED ME END THIS VICIOUS INTRUSION INTO MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY, FRIENDS AND ASSOCIATES, EVEN IF IT BE TEMPORARY. I AM GRATEFUL TO THE TAXPAYERS WHO HAVE FUNDED THESE PROCEEDINGS, AND I AM GRATEFUL TO THE LAPD AND THE PERSON OF DETECTIVE JOSE VIRAMONTES WHO ARRANGED AND EXECUTED THE ARREST OF THE DEFENDANT, AND I WANT TO THANK MR. STEVE STEVENS FOR HIS INVALUABLE CONSULTATIONS. IT IS MY PRAYER THAT MS. LYNCH WILL TAKE REFUGE IN THE WISDOM OF HER RELIGION, THAT A SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING WILL CONVERT HER HEART FROM HATRED TO REMORSE, FROM ANGER TO KINDNESS, FROM THE DEADLY INTOXICATION OF REVENGE TO THE LOWLY PRACTICES OF SELF-REFORM, MANY THANKS, YOUR HONOR, FOR THIS HOSPITALITY YOU'VE SHOWN ME AND FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS THE COURT. THANK YOU, SIR. THE COURT: THANK YOU, MR. COHEN. MS. STREETER. MS. STREETER: I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE TWO POINTS THE PEOPLE MADE IN THEIR MOVING PAPERS. THE FIRST ONE IS THAT IT I$ THE PEOPLE'S POSITION THAT THE ANNOYING PHONE CALL COUNTS DO MERGE WITH THE RESTRAINING ORDER COUNTS. HOWEVER, THE PEOPLE ARE OF THE POSITION THAT THE RESTRAINING ORDER DOBS NOT -- THE COUNTS DO NOT MERGE. era weuwne 10 a 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25. 26 27 28 631 COUNSEL IS OF THE OPINION THAT IT'S SOME ARBITRARY MANNER WITH WHICH THE PEOPLE PLED THE CASE. THE PROBLEM THE PEOPLE WERE FACED WITH IS EACH E-MAIL OR EACH VOICE MAIL ON A CLEAR READING OF THE RESTRAINING ORDER IS A VIOLATION, AND THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE THE PEOPLE SAW WOULD BE TO DO A VIOLATION FOR EACH RESTRAINING ORDER VIOLATION AND THAT DIDN'T SEEM APPROPRIATE. SO THE PEOPLE PLED IT AS A CONTINUING COURSE, ALLOWING THE JURY TO PICK WHAT E-MAIL, WHAT VOICE MAIL THEY SAW WERE A VIOLATION. BUT NEVERTHELESS, THE PEOPLE FEEL THAT -- STILL SEE THAT 654 DOES NOT APPLY ON THOSE COUNTS IN THAT THEY DON'T MERGE, AND THE SENTENCE ~- THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE WOULD BE FIVE YEARS. THE SECOND THING THE PEOPLE WANT TO EMPHASIZE IN PARTICULAR IS THE LETTER FROM DR. BACA. THE PEOPLE, YOU KNOW, GIVEN THIS SITUATION, THE PEOPLE ARE PACED WITH WE CAN'T FORCE MS. LYNCH TO SUBMIT TO A MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION. THAT'S SOMETHING HER ATTORNEYS WOULD HAVE T0 DO OR THE COURT WOULD HAVE TO DO. BUT THE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INCREDIBLY CONCERNED BY SOME OF THE ACTIONS BY MS. LYNCH I JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MR. COHEN SAID, GIVING HIM A RESPITE. IT'S NOT JUST THE CONDUCT TOWARD MR. COHEN THS PEOPLE ARE, PARTICULARLY CONCERNED ABOUT, BUT THE REASON THE PEOPLE ATTACHED LETTERS, AND THE PEOPLE MUST STATE -- FIRST EXPLAIN TO THE COURT HOW THE PEOPLE CAME UPON THE 1 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 632 LETTERS FROM MR. CUTLER'S OFFICE IN NEW YORK. MR. CUTLER'S OFFICE, UPON HEARING ABOUT THIS CASE, CONTACTED THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES AND VOLUNTARILY SENT THE LETTERS TO THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES BECAUSE OF THEIR CONCERN. AND SO IT'S NOT JUST THE E-MAIL -- AND IN ADDITION, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S OFFICE CONTACTED THE PEOPLE THEMSELVES OUT OF CONCERN BY WHAT MS. LYNCH IS DOING. BUT OF THE TWO, WHAT THE PEOPLE FIND MOST CONCERNING ARE THE LETTERS THAT ARE SENT TO MR. CUTLER. BECAUSE IF ONE WERE TC READ THOSE LETTERS, ONE WOULD HAVE NO IDEA THAT THERE IS NO RELATIONSHIP, NO ~~ WHAT ONE WOULD VIEW AS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MS. LYNCH AND MR. CUTLER. BUT SHE WRITES AS If THE TWO OF THEM ARE LONG-LOST FRIENDS. THIS IS A CONCERN THE PEOPLE HAVE, PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF SHOWING THOSE TO DR. BACA, IS THE FACT THAT IT APPEARS PART OF WHAT IS DRIVING THIS IS THAT MS. LYNCH HAS SOME UNDIAGNOSED MENTAL HEALTH ISSUE, AND THE DANGER THAT SHE POSES TO MR. COHEN, MR. CUTLER AND MR, COOLEY, AND SOCIETY IN PARTICULAR. SO THE PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED WITH JUST PUTTING HER ON PROBATION, LETTING HER GO ON HER MERRY WAY BECAUSE WE SEE THAT SHE WOULD BE BACK HERE AND PERHAPS FOR SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS THAN WHAT SHE'S FACING NOW. SO THE PEOPLE WOULD TRULY LIKE TO URGE THAT WHAT IS -~ IS DONE IS THAT THE DEFENDANT IS ORDERED one ewne 1. 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 633 TO GO TO A LOCKED MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY. IF SHE DOESN'T WANT TO DO THAT, THEN THE PEOPLE SEE THAT THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS FCR THE COURT T0 GIVE MS. LYNCH THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE. TO DO AS MR. COHEN IS ASKING, TO GIVE HIM A BIT OF RESPITE. THE COURT: DEFENSE WANTS TO BE FURTHER HEARD? MR. KELLY: YES, I DO. WHILE THERE IS A HISTORY BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERE, MS, LYNCH AND MR. COHEN, THIS CASE IS NOT ABOUT ANY INCIDENTS THAT TOOK PLACE IN 2004, 2005, OR ANY PERIOD PRIOR TO THAT. I WILL NOTE THAT -- AGAIN, AS THE COURT MENTIONED, A LOT OF THESE E-MAILS ARE REALLY NOTHING IN GENERAL AND ARE NOT THREATENING IN NATURE. T BELIEVE THE PEOPLE DID POINT OUT THOSE E-MAILS THAT THEY BELIEVED WERE OF THE THREATENING NATURE, AND EVEN THEN IT WAS, AGAIN, VERY AMBIGUOUS. AS FAR AS THE MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT THE PEOPLE, WHAT THEY PROPOSE TS TO PUT OFF SENTENCING FOR ONE YEAR. FOR A ONE-YEAR MENTAL HEALTH. AT THIS POINT, THAT DOESN'T SEEM APPROPRIATE, CONSIDERING WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A CONDITION OR IF THERE IS, WHAT CONDITION IT WOULD BE. THAT MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING, OR AT LEAST A DIAGNOSIS OR SOME KIND OF EVALUATION, COULD BE A TERM OF THE PROBATION IF PROBATION IS GIVEN. BUT TO PUT OVER SENTENCING ALTOGETHER FOR THAT PERIOD OF TIME, I DON'T BELIEVE AT THIS TIME IS APPROPRIATE. we ene 634 BUT AGAIN, WE ARE -- IF IT IS SOMETHING THAT I$ A TERM OF THE PROBATION, I'M SURE MS. LYNCH WOULD COMPLY WITH THAT TERM AND AT LEAST SPEAK TO SOMEONE AND SEB IF THERE IS AN EVALUATION THAT CAN BE GIVEN AND A DIAGNOSIS, TF ANY, THAT CAN BE GIVEN BASED upon THar. THE COURT; ANYTHING FURTHER? WOULD YOUR CLIENT LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT? THE DEFENDANT: I DO WANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT. TRE COURT: WELL, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO. THE DEFENDANT: T WANT 70 MAKE A SHORT STATEMENT. IT IS MY IMPRESSION THAT WHAT T DID HERE WAS I ACTUALLY WENT TO THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. I'VE HAD AGENTS FROM THW TREASURY FLY IN FROM WASHINGTON THAT ARE CRIMINAL INTELLIGENCE, THE FBI'S INVOLVED AND THE FBI TOLD ME T0 LET THE IRS TAKE THE LEAD. IT WILL BE BROUGHT IN FOR CRIMINAL WITNESS AND EVIDENCE TAMPERING WITH RESPECT TO LEONARD COHEN. THAT 1S FACTUAL, THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE RECORDED. AND $O I DO BELIEVE THAT I HAVE ENGAGED IN EXCESSIVE, UNAUTHORIZED RAMBLING, AND THAT MY BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN EXCESSIVE. BUT WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED, REGARDLESS OF MS. STREETER'S VICIOUS, I THINK, ATTACK ON ME, AND WHAT MY CHILDREN HAVE GONE THROUGH, HAS BEEN EXTREME. I'VE PROVIDED EVIDENCE TO TRE IRS THAT I HAVE BEEN DEFRAUDED BY LEONARD COHEN, STEVEN MACHAT, WHO a7 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 28 26 27 28 635 IS ABOUT TO SUE HIM FOR THEFT FOR THE SAME REASON. AND I FEEL THAT I CAN STAY AWAY FROM MR. COHEN. I'M WILLING TO GO TO ANGER MANAGEMENT. I'M WILLING TO TAKE ANYTHING THE JUDGH SUGGESTS, AND MY -- I DID HAVE MY WAGES GARNISHED ALSO, YOUR HONOR. IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN 25 PERCENT OF MY INCOME, AND THE STATE DID TELL ME TO GO AND GET THE INFORMATION I NEEDED FOR MY TAX RETURNS. MR. COHEN IS SAYING THIS FORENSIC ACCOUNTING. HIS OWN ACCOUNTANT, KEVIN PRINS, TOLD MINE If IS NOT, HE DIDN'T HAVE TRE BACKUP DOCUMENTATION. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ANYONE BLSE IN MY POSITION WOULD DO, BUT I THINK THAT YOU'RE BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE WHEN THE IRS AND THE FRANCHISE TAX BOARD ARE DEMANDING INFORMATION. YOU HAVE K-18 THAT ARE ILLEGAL. I'M NOT A PARTNER IN LC INVESTMENTS AND IT'S ALL CONFUSING. I'M NOT REPRESENTED. ONE LAST THING I'D LIKE TO SAY TO YoU, YOUR HONOR, IS THAT I CALLED THE STATE BAR AND THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION MANY TIMES, AND WAS TOLD THAT OPPOSING COUNSEL MUST TALK TO ME, AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN ROBERT KORY AND MICHELLE RICE, SCOTT EDELMAN. NO ONE WOULD EVER TALK TO ME. EVER. $O I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO SETTLE ANYTHING. AND THEN I WAS GIVEN LEGAL ADVICE THAT I COULD CONTACT MR. COHEN FOR TAX INFORMATION. THE COURT: OKAY, ANY LEGAL CAUSE WHY SENTENCE SHOULD NOT NOW BE IMPOSED? 10 an 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 ag 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 636 MR. KELLY: NO, YOUR HONOR. MR. RAMNANEY: NO, YOUR HONOR. THE COURT: OKAY. LET ME JUST -- BEFORE T PRONOUNCE SENTENCE, TELL YOU WHAT HAS GONE INTO MY CONSIDERATION. FIRST, I THINK THE EVIDENCE, 17's QuITE CLEAR THAT THE EVIDENCE DEMONSTRATED IN THIS CASE A LONG ONRELENTING BARRAGE OF HARASSING BEHAVIOR ON THE PART OF THE DEFENDANT THAT SPANNED A NUMBER OF YEARS AND WAS REALLY VILE. AND IT HAS NOTHING 70 DO WITH WHETHER IT WAS LEONARD COHEN OR JOSEPH SMITH ON THE END OF THOSE. NO PERSON SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO THAT KIND OF TARGETING BY ANYONE, AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE STATUTES IN PLACE THAT PREVENT THAT, THE DEFENDANT HAS ALSO THROUGHOUT THIS PROCEEDING, CONTINUING UP TO THE PAST MONTH, AS I READ FROM THE LETTERS, DISPLAYED AN UTTER CONTEMPT FOR THE JUDICIAL PROCESS AND FOR JUDICIAL ORDERS. THIS BEHAVIOR WAS ALL DONE IN CONTEMPT OF REPEATED ORDERS BY THE CIVIL COURTS THAT SHE NOT CONTACT MR. COHEN, AND THE DEFENDANT HAS IN PACT ~~ WHOEVER HAS THAT PHONE, WOULD YoU PLEASE TURN IT OFF. SHE HAS INDICATED EXPRESSLY HER BELIEF THAT RESTRAINING ORDERS WILL HAVE NO EFFECT ON HER BEHAVIOR. HAS SAID SO A NUMBER OF TIMES IN THE EVIDENCE WE HEARD. SHE'S ALSO SHOWN NO REMORSE NOR GLIMMER OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF WRONGDOING FOR HER BEHAVIOR, EVEN UP To THIS MoMENT. i) 10 aL 42 13 a4 1s 16 17 1e ag 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 637 AND IN LIGHT OF ALL THOSE FACTORS, THE COURT HAS VERY FEW TOOLS AT ITS DISPOSAL IN THIS CASE. IN OTHER CASES I WOULD OFTEN GRANT PROBATION FOR A FIRST-TIME MISDEMEANOR, WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT A. PROTECTIVE ORDER WOULD BE ABIDED WITH. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE WHATSOEVER THAT A PROTECTIVE ORDER WOULD BE BFFECTIVE IN THIS CASE BECAUSE PAST PROTECTIVE ORDERS HAVE DONE. NOTHING. THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CAUSED MS. LYNCH TO CEASE HER BEHAVIOR IS AN INABILITY TO ENGAGE IN THE BEHAVIOR, AND WHEN SHE WAS INCARCERATED THE BEHAVIOR STOPPED. THERE I$ MUCH MERIT TO MS. STREETER'S SUGGESTION OF A MENTAL HEALTH FACILITY, BUT I'M NOT CONVINCED AT THIS POINT THAT THE DEFENDANT IS AMENABLE 10 TREATMENT AND COOPERATIVE ENOUGH TO ENGAGE IN TREATMENT, AS MS. STREETER HAS INDICATED, THE MAXIMUM SENTENCE DEFENDANT WOULD FACE -- COULD FACE IN THIS CASE IS A JAIL TERM OF FIVE YEARS FOR THE FIVE COUNTS OF 273.6(A). I AGREE WITH YOUR ANALYSIS THAT THE 653M COUNTS WOULD BE MERGED BECAUSE THE CONDUCT THAT FORMS THE BASIS FOR THOSE IS THE SAME CONDUCT THAT FORMS THE BASIS FOR VIOLATION OF THE PROTECTIVE ORDERS. SO THE COURT'S SENTENCE, THE COURT'S INDICATED SENTENCE, IF MS. LYNCH CHOOSES TO ACCEPT IT, WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS: DEFENDANT WOULD BE PLACED ON SUMMARY PROBATION TO THE COURT FOR A FIVE-YEAR PERIOD. 10 i 12 13 14 1s 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24a 25 26 27 28 638 THAT'S 60 MONTHS. DURING THAT FIVE-YEAR PERIOD, SHE WILL SERVE A TERM OF 18 MONTHS IN THE COUNTY JAIL WITH CREDIT FOR THE TIME SHE'S SERVED. WHILE SHE IS IN SERVING THAT 18-MONTH SENTENCE, THE STATUTE REQUIRES THAT SHE UNDERGO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COUNSELING. MS. STREETER: OR PSYCHIATRIC COUNSELING. THE COURT: I DON'T THINK THE TRADITIONAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COUNSELING IS THE KIND OF COUNSELING WE NEED HERE. WHAT I'M GOING TO DIRECT THE JAIL AUTHORITIES TO DO IS TO PUT TOGETHER A PROGRAM FOR MS. LYNCH WHILE SHE IS IN CUSTODY THAT WILL INCLUDE ON A WEEKLY BASIS FOR AT LEAST A YEAR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: ANGER MANAGEMENT, ALCOHOL COUNSELING AND PSYCHIATRIC COUNSELING. THERE WILL BE THREE-MONTH REPORTS TO THE COURT ON HER PROGRESS AND COOPERATION IN THAT EDUCATION PROGRAM. AND AT THE END OF KER 18-MONTH SERVICE, SHE @ILL BE REQUIRED AS PART OF THIS PROBATION TO UNDERGO A MENTAL HEALTH EVALUATION AT THAT POINT, AT WHICH TIME THE COURT WILL CONSIDER WHATEVER RECOMMENDATIONS THE COUNSELOR HAS FOR FURTHER PSYCHIATRIC COUNSELING AS PART OF THE PROBATION, IN ADDITION, MS, LYNCH IS BARRED BY STATUTE FROM OWNING OR POSSESSING ANY FIREARMS FOR THE NEXT TEN YBARS. DOES DEFENDANT ACKNOWLEDGE AND ACCEPT THOSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PROBATION? MR. KELLY: YOUR HONOR, WE WOULD HAVE TO DISCUSS
