NOW HERE COMES PLAINTIFF, PHILLIP GARCIA (Plaintiff) WHO ALLEGES:
INTRODUCTION
1. This action arises out of a landlord-tenant relationship between Plaintiff Phil Garcia, the tenant,
and The Wilson Family Trust, the landlord. The subject premises located at 1665 Hayes Street,
San Francisco, CA 94117 (“subject premises”),
N
Plaintiff sues Defendants for breaches of the written 2010 lease entered into between Mr. Garcia
and The Wilson Family Trust (attached as Exhibit A) for refusing to address Mr. Garcia’s noise
complaints; for invading Defendant’s privacy by filming Mr. Garcia inside his residence through
an open window curtain at night, as well as recording audio of Plaintiff in his residence without
his knowledge or consent; and to enforce the award of attorney’s fees and costs entered against
Defendant Angelo Wilson in the matter of Wilson v. Garcia, CUD-13- 645240 against The
Wilson Family Trust, which were incurred to defend against Defendants’ frivolous unlawful
detainer.
Pa ee
PLAINTIFF’S SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT27
28
. On November 21, 2013, the Court entered judgment in favor of Mr. Garcia in the unlawful
detainer matter.
On February 14, 2014, Mr. Garcia was awarded $42,500 in attorney’s fees, pursuant to an
attorney’s fee provision in the 2008 lease entered into between Mr. Garcia and The Wilson
Family Trust. Costs were also awarded to Mr. Garcia, so that the judgment was for a total of
$49,710.95. The trial Court refused to include The Wilson Family Trust in the award because
The Wilson Family Trust was not a named party and therefore the Court had no jurisdiction to do
so, despite the fact that The Wilson Family Trust is the party to the 2010 providing for the award
of attorney’s fees and costs to the prevailing party.
Plaintiff emphasizes at the outset that this action is in not in retaliation for any Defendant’s
exercise of a First Amendment Right such as the service of a notice to quit or a UD complaint—it
is based in the obscene and offensive manner in which Defendants sought to fabricate evidence of
Plaintiffs “nuisance”: recording audio and video of Mr. Garcia in the privacy of his home,
including instances of Mr. Garcia being sexually intimate with third parties.
PARTIES
Carrie Wilson is the trustee of The Wilson Family Trust, owner and landlord of the subject
premises. She entered into the 2010 lease as trustee of The Wilson Family Trust, a California
citizen (Exhibit B is a true and correct copy of My 1994 grant deed transferring title of the
Subject Premises from Carrie Wilson as an individual to Carrie Wilson as Trustee of The Wilson
Family Trust).
Carrie Wilson, hired Erika Markham and Angelo Wilson to be the off-site managers of the subject
premises. Angelo Wilson is a citizen of California. Erika Markham is recently a citizen of
Georgia.
Carrie Wilson, Erika Markham and Angelo Wilson thereafter hired Shaun Markham to be the on-
site manager that was tasked with “keep tabs” on other tenants, and “keep an eye on tenants,”
which included filming video inside Plaintiff's flat at night through open curtains and windows,
and recording audio and video.
. Plaintiff has a judgment against Defendant Angelo Wilson in the amount of $49,710.95—and
Plaintiff seeks to enforce this judgment against The Wilson Family Trust as owners and landlord
of the subject premises, and as the actual party with whom Mr. Garcia entered into the lease
agreement,

GENERAL FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS
neighbor, Defendant Shaun Markham. Instead, Defendants instituted a frivolous UD action
against Plaintiff based on noise.
In April 2013, to manufacture evidence to be used against Mr. Garcia at the UD trial, Defendant
Shaun Markham violated Plaintiff's privacy by filming into Mr. Garcia’s residence at night at
times when Mr. Garcia was sexually intimate with a third party, in addition to recording audio.
Defendant Shaun Markham admitted in his deposition that he did so at the direction and with the
knowledge of the other Defendants, and that Defendant Shaun Markham had previously invaded
the privacy of other tenants in the building in the same way, and under the same direction of the
other Defendants, also for the purpose of manufacturing evidence to use against other tenants in
the building in support of prospective eviction actions. Thus, Defendants had a policy of invading
tenants’ privacy toward the goal of coercing rent-controlled tenants to abandon their tenancies in
order to sell the subject premises with no rent-controlled apartment is obtain a higher selling

significantly higher rate), Defendants’ policy and practice of recording and filming Defendant
inside his residence at night without consent violate California's Invasion of Privacy Act, the
California Constitution, and the San Francisco Administrative Code.

with third parties) were produced in discovery in the UD case, Mr. Garcia became extremely
upset and suffered emotional distress. Defendants has greatly diminished their quiet enjoyment o:
their rent controlled apartments, and has made Plaintiff feel like a monitored person in his own
home.
