Dated: enfin pie /7, 2019 By: ‘or Py tiff Z6ry Narog 10 ll 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 -2- - + ® POINTS AND AUTHORITIES 1 STATEMENT OF FACTS In 2010, Attorney Matthew E. Coleman pursued a vexaticus litigant motion against Mr. Narog claiming that Mr. Narog was involved in 61 different litigetions around the Bay Area Counties. This number of litigations was over-inflated in that it counted litigations that Mr. Narog’s son was actually involved in and most of the cases that Mr. Narog were involved in were small claims actions for collection. This alleged number of litigacions was misleading and unduly 10 influenced the court in its consideration. 5 il Of all of the cases ever filed by Mr. Narog, 32 were small claims cases based on unpaid 12 acccunts receivable from Mr. Narog’s landscaping business. Pricr to his disability partially 13 caused by his accident in the Barajas Case addressed below, Mr. Warog was a state licensed landscape contractor (CSLB No. C27 800 477). By Jaw, Mr. Narog’s small claims’ cases had to 14 be pursued in pro per by Mr. Narog. Outside of small claims cases, Mr. Narog, in his entire life, 15 has only ever filed four civil cases (each of which is addressed below) and the five restraining 16 : order cases against his neighbors in Redwood Shores upon which the vexatious litigant motion 17 was brought. Of the civil cases, Mr. Narog was represented by counsel in two of the civil cases 18 and in all of the restraining order cases. Further in the two cases that Mr. Narog was not 19 represented by counsel, he met with and consulted counsel regarding those cases, as well. 20 The vexatious litigant motion brought against Mr. Narog came as a surprise in that Mr. 21 Narog and his counsel did not receive service of the motion and were caught off guard. Had they 22 received adequate notice, they would have been able to demonstraze that at least three of the five 23 cases cited by the opposition as frivolous were by no means in fact frivolous. Moreover the 24 attorneys who brought the motion were either deliberate in their atcempts to mislead the Court or 25 grossly negligent in their research of the facts and circumstances that were involved in the cases 26 they deemed frivolous. 27 28 -3- -~ j hey A. BARAJAS CASE On September 23, 2010, Attorney Thomas Feeney, who represented Edmund Estolas in San Mateo County in the case of Narog v. Barajas Docket number CIV 442860 only told half the story in his declaration in support of the original motion deeming Mr. Narog avexatious litigant, (See Declaration of Attorney Thomas Feeney attached to the Deckaration of Cory Narog as Exhibit Qvé:,.) Feeney was also present in San Joaquin County wien his client, Edmund Estolas, Mr. Narog ‘and Mr. Narog’s son settled an interpleader action witk Ms. Barajas. It should be noted that Thomas Feeney’s firm represented both the Estolas and Ms, Barajas in San Joaquin 10 County, as well as, San Mateo County. Mr. Narog received the demages for both personal injury 11 and property damage to his vehicle. 12 Narog v. Barajas was a bonafide personal injury lawsuit in which Mr. Narog and his son 13 were both paid damages from Ms. Barajas’ insurance policy with Topa Insurance Company. Mr. Narog injuries included a broken back (transverse fractures of the L2 and L3) which to today 14 causes him daily pain and suffering. (A true and correct copy of Mr. Narog’s MRI of his Cervical 15 Spine and Lumbar Spine dated November 16, 2002 is attached to theDeclaration of Cory Narog 16 as Exhibit Ove) 17 ‘On November 16, 2002, Mr. Narog was stopped on the side ofHighway 205 in rural San 18 Joaquin County. Mr. Narog’s vehicle was parked in front of his scn’s truck approximately 20 19 feet from the side of the roadway. Mr. Narog’s son’s truck had broken down and Mr. Narog was 20 summoned to assist his son to attempt to get the truck moving agaia. 21 While Mr. Narog was attempting to start his son’s truck, he was struck by two cars that 22 had become entangled at some point before reaching Mr. Narog’s location and left the roadway. . 23 At some point prior to striking Mr. Narog in his son’s truck, Ms. Barajas had become entangled 24 with another driver by the name of Edmund Estolas and both cars collided with Mr. Narog’s son's 25 truck which subsequently smashed into and totaled Mr. Narog’s vericle. Mr.Narog sustained 26 both perscnal injuries and property damage. 27 Mrz. Narog retained experienced counsel, Vincent J. Scotto (SBN 87703), to initiate a 28 lawsuit. Because, at the time of filing, it was unclear which tortfeasor caused or contributed to -4- the accident which led to Mr. Narog and his son’s vehicles being struck by Ms. Barajas and Mr. Estolas, Mr. Scotto filed claims against both Barajas and Estolas in San Mateo County. It is uncertain why Attorney Scotto chose to file in San Mateo County. After sufficient discovery, it was determined that Ms. Barajas was 100% liable for the damage suffered by Mr. Narog because she went into Mr. Estolas’ lane of travel, became entangled and forced his vehicle into Mr. Norag’s son’s vehicle which subsequently collided with Mr. Narag’s vehicle. Topa Insurance Company filed an interpleader action for the policy limits in San Joaquin County under Docket number SV 251270 and the parties reached a settlement whereby Mr. Narog and his son were paid the policy limits for their injuries and vehicles. (See a true and correct copy of the Settlement Agreement, in the San Joaquin Docket number SV 251270 is 10 attached to the Declaration of Cory Narog as Exhibit Qysc, .) As the result of his physical 11 injuries, Mr. Narog was awarded $15,000.00. (A true and correct. copy of Topa Insurance 12 Company’s check number 99597 in the amount of $15,000.00 to Cory Narog Sr. is attached to the 13 Declaration of Cory Narog as Exhibit Gwe.) As the result of his property damage, Mr. Narog 14 was jointly awarded $9,200.00 with his son pursuant to settlement agreement. (A true and correct 15 copy of Topa Insurance Company's check number 107338 in the amount of $10,000.00 to Clerk 16 of the Superior Court and San Joaquin County is attached to the Declaration of Cory Narog as 17 Exhibit Qué.) 18 This was a case where plaintiff's counsel pursued joint tortfeasors which may have 19 contributed to both Mr. Narog’s physical injuries and property daraage. The case was not 20 initiated in pro per. An experienced attorney duly licensed by the State of California since 1979 21 analyzed the facts and circumstances of how Mr. Estolas’ vehicle came to ram into the rear of Mr. 22 Narog’s son’s vehicle and caused both severe physical injuries anc property damage to Mr. Narog. After analyzing these facts, Mr, Scotto filed a complaint against both Ms.Barajas and Mr. 23 Estolas. After discovery, it was determined that Ms. Barajas was the party solely liable for 25 damages to Mr. Narog. Topa Insurance Company initiated an interpleader case in San Joaquin 26 County and the parties reached a settlement agreement whereby both Mr. Narog and Mr. Estolas 27 received damages. In turn both Mr. Narog and Mr. Estolas agreed to dismiss their actions in San 28 -5- >) } } - Maieo County. Both parties agreed to bear their own costs. (See Request for Dismissal filed by Cory Narog on February 8, 2006 attached to the Declaration of Cory Narog as Exhibit 04g see. alsc, Request for Dismissal filed by Thomas Feeney on behalf of Sdmund C. and Colleen Estolas attached to the Declaration of Cory Narog as Exhibit Qué.) Attorney Thomas Feeney filed a Reszonse To Order To Show Cause Statement By Defendants Estlas Re Status Of Complaint And Cross-Complaint As To Nora R. Barajas. (See Response To Order To Show Cause attached to the Declaration of Cory Narog as Exhibit Jue.) At the hearing in which Judge Freeman deemed Mr. Narog avexatious litigant, herhonor specifically reprimanded Mr. Narog’s counsel for not attaching a settlement agreement, stating: “You haven’t given me the settlement document. You haven’t given me a copy of the transcript 10 to show there was a settlement. I don’t even have a declaration, do I, that sets anything out il (See Reporter’s Partial Transcript of Proceedings (hereinafter “R.P.T.,” 14:12-16.] Judge 12 Freeman further concluded: “I doubt there is one. This is a minute entry, ‘Case dismissed with 13 prejudice as to entire action.’ There’s no explanation there’s no evidence that there was a 14 settlement.” [R.P.T. 15:24 — 16:1.] 15 Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 391.8 (c) which reads in part: "A Court may 16 vacate a pre-filing order and order removal of a vexatious litigant's name from the Judicial 17 Counzil's list of Vexatious Litigant’s subject to pre-filing orders uton showing of a material 18 change in the facts upon which the order was granted and that the ends of justice would be served 19 by vacating the order. 20 Here, attorney Dara Tang used the declaration of Thomas Feeney to tell a half-truth. 21 While the case was dismissed with prejudice and the Estolas were not ordered to pay any 22 damages besides waiving fees, the case was far from frivolous. Mx. Narog sustained actually physical injuries and his truck was totaled. The case was filed by a licensed attorney and 23 maintained for a period of time by that attorney. Although it was dismissed in pro per by Mr. 24 Narog himself, the dismissal was based on a large monetary settlement in the interpleader case. 25 Although attorneys must advocate zealously for their clients (see Davis v. State Bar 26 (1983) 33 Cal.3d 231, 238 [188 Cal.Rptr 441]). There are limits to an attorney’s conduct as set 27 forth in the Rules of Professional Conduct and the Business and Prcfessions Code. (See Hawk v. 28 \ -6- 4 Superior Court (1974) 42 Cal.App.3d 108, 126 [116 Cal.Rptr. 713.] The duty of a lawyer is both to her client and to the legal system is to represent her client zealously within the bounds of the law. Business and Professions Code section 6068 requires, among other things, ‘that an attorney “employ, for purpose of maintaining the causes confided to him or her those means only as are consistent with truth.” (Business and Professions Code section 6068(d).) Attorneys must “maictain the respect due to the courts of justice and judicial officers,” and cannot “seek to mislead the judge or any judicial officer by an artifice or false statement of fact or law.” Business and Professions Code section 6080(b) and (d). If a judicial officer was presiding over the: hearing, these rules prohibit the attorney from making a false statement of fact or law. Under Business and Professions Code section 6106, an attomney who commits any act of 10 moral turpitude or dishonesty, whether or not in the course of the actorney’s conduct as an ll attorney, is subject to disbarment or suspension. (Business and Prcfessions Code section 6106.) 12 Further, Business and Professions Code section 6128(a) provides that “[e]very attorney is guilty 13 of a misdemeanor who . . . [i]s guilty of any deceit or collusion, or consents to any deceit or 14 collusion, with intent to deceive the court or any party .. ..” (Business and Professions Code 15 section 6128.) Attorneys Dara Tang and Thomas Feeney perpetrated a fraud against the court, 16 Here, Attorney Dara Tang deceived this Court by presenting the declaration of 17 Thomas Feeney and not disclosing the full facts and circumstances of the underlying case. There 18 is absclutely no way that the Barajas Case should be considered frivolous under any 19 circumstances. There were actual physical and property damages incurred by Mr. Narog and he 20 was well within his rights to pursue claims against the joint tortfeasors. Simply because one 21 tortfeasor is found non-liable and subsequently dismissed, does not render the case frivolous. 22 Using Thomas Feeney’s declaration and not disclosing the material facts of the entire action resulted in deceit upon this Court. The case was filed by an experienced attorney, Vincent Scotto, 23 to preserve the statute of limitations. 24 Here, this Court should vacate the pre-filing order because there is a showing of a material 25 change in the facts upon which the order was granted and that the ends of justice would be served 26 by vacating the order. 27 28 -T- 10 B. il 12 ANDERSON, CHEVROLET CASE teal Axtell Theae 13 LefEe ecot mf!" BS, RoCo Mr. Narog Sones a truck from And on Chemctet He paid $5. ifs teed a5.2 14 the track. He then paid for the truck with two money orders that Anderson Chevrolet failed to 15 record on their books. (True and correct copies of Great Western Bank money orders No. 16 531458117 and No. 531458116 are attached to the Declaration of Cory Narog as Exhibit Foua.) 17 Anderson Chevrolet was under the belief that Mr. Narog had nevez paid for the truck. Anderson 18 Chevrolet filed a small claims case against Mr. Narog, but never served him with the Summons 19 and Complaint. Anderson Chevrolet filed a fraudulent proof of service and took Mr. Narog’s 20 default without his knowledge of the case. The proof of substituted service was to an address that 21 Mr. Narog had never lived at and the process server was under the impression that he substitute 22 served Mr. Narog’s alleged wife, “Melody.” (It should be noted that Mr. Narog never had a wife named Melody. He was married to Patricia Fitz-Gibbons from 1979 to 1984. To date, he has had 23 no other marriages.) So substituted service on Mr. Narog’s wife on September 20, 1997 was a 24 factual impossibility. 25 Anderson Chevrolet matured the default and recorded a lier against Mr. Narog’s 26 residential property. -When Mr. Narog sold his house seven years later, he learned of the lien and 27 funds were withdrawn from the sales proceeds or else the sale woukin’t go through. When the 28 , -8- 1 lien was paid off, Mr. Narog had effectively paid to the same truck twice. Armed with cancelled:checks from his original purchase of the truck, Mr. Narog sued Anderson Chevrolet for reimbursement from the false lien in small claims. After the court determined that jurisdiction was proper in Superior Court, Mr. Nerog dismissed his small claims action without prejudice. After filing in Superior Court, Andersoa Chevrolet successfully demurrered on statute of limitations grounds. Ultimately he was unable to rectify Anderson Chevrolet’s error because the statute of limitations had run out on his time to challenge their smail claims judgment. a Cc. 10 REDWOOD CITY POLICE DEPARMENT CASE ML Mr. Narog was the subject of apolice witch hunt that was the brainchild of several his 12 neighbors iri Redwood Shores. Several of these neighbors hired a high powered attorney to 13 attempt to have the police arrest Mr. Narog on trumped up charges. The result was a 23 page 14 memoranduni entitled “Possible Criminal Liability of Cory Narog™ with 398 pages of attached 15 exhibits. ‘ 16 Attorney JimHartnett presented this binder to several city officials in hopes that Redwood 17 City would take action against Mr. Narog. The binder was later delivered to the Redwood City 18 Police who went back and forth with the District Attorney and finaily filed a single charge on 19 violating Penal Code section 148.5 for filing a false police Teport ir 2010. Mr. Narog reported 20 ‘suspected vandalism for damage done to his outdoor fountain and flower pots. 21 While Mr. Narog’s outdoor fountain and flower pots were actually damaged and he had 22 photographic evidence of neighbors creeping around his property, tae District Attorney issued charges anyway. Mr. Narog expended copious amounts of money in his legal defense and the 23 case was marched to jury trial. Prior to actually calling in a jury, the District Attorney dismissed 24 the case citing that an officer had retired and moved to Florida. However, the officer that moved 25 to Florida was not the main investigating officer and Mr. Narog’s legal team suggested that foul 126 play was at foot. They suggested he find and attorney experienced in civil rights actions and 27 recover his damages for his legal defense. 28 -9- Mr. Narog consulted with Jikiva Candappa, an attorney that boasted ten years’ experience and held himself out as an expert in pursuing federal civil rights claims. After taking $22,000.00 of Mr, Narog’s money and filing what he deemed “a strong federal civil rights case,” attorney Candappa moved his office to Southern California and withdrew as counsel. The federal civil rights law suit was a creature of attomey Candappa’s devising. Mr. Candappa selected the legal theories and chose which officers would be named as defendants. He decided not to name the District Attorney or the neighbors that pushed for the prosecution. He conducted several depositions before moving and withdrawing as counsel. After his withdrawal, Mr. Narog was unable to afford counsel to take over the litigation. Although the litigationwas ultimately dismissed by Mr. Narog, it did result in one officer being 10 relieved of duty for filing a false police report and another making admissions that reports were It falsified at a settlement conference. After negotiations, the parties agreed to mutual dismissals of 12 all claims and counterclaims with a waiver of costs. 13 Regardless of Mr. Narog negotiated dismissal, the case was not frivolous or groundless 14 and should not have been consider under Code of Civil Procedure § 391. 15 As a result of the suspected vandalism and the measures taken by his neighbors, Mr. 16 Narog pursued several restraining orders which were the subject of the above captioned case. 17 Much like the federal civil rights claims, Mr. Narog’s restraining orders against his neighbors 18 were supported by facts and should not be deemed to be frivolous or counted for purposes of 19 California 20 California Code of Civil Procedure § 391. Moreover, Mr. Narog was represented by 21 counsel in each of the restraining orders from start to finish. His attorneys counseled him and ensured him that he had a valid case against each of the offending neighbors. 22 23 I ARGUMENT 24 25 Pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure Section 391.8 (c) which reads in part: "A Court may 26 vacate a pre-filing order and order removal of a vexatious litigant's name from the Judicial 27 Council's list of Vexatious Litigant’s subject to pre-filing orders upon showing of a material 28 change in the facts upon which the order was granted and that the ends of justice would be served -10- by vacating the order." Vexatious litigation is legal action which is brought, regardless of itsmerits, solely to harass or subdue an adversary. It may take the form of a primary =rivolous lawsuit or may be the repetitive, burdensome, and unwarranted filing of meritless moticns in a matter which is otherwise a meritorious cause of action. Filing vexatious litigation is considered an abuse of the judicial process and may result in sanctions against the offender. : “Under California Jaw a vexatious litigant is someone who -loes any of the following, most i of which require that thelitigant be proceeding pro se, i.e., representing himself at least at some point in the litigation: 1 In the immediately preceding seven-year period has commenced, prosecuted, or 10 maintained in propri ersona at least five litigations other than in a small claims ll court that have been @ finally determined adversely to the person or (ii) unjustifiably permitted to remain pending at least two years without having been brought to trial or hearing. 12 After a litigation has been finally determined against ths ie exson, repeatedly 13 de ih relitigates or attempts to relitigate, in propria eC) rsona, eit er (i) the validity of the determination against the same defendant or fencants as to whom the litigation 14 was finally determined or (ii) the cause of action, c:aim, controversy, or any of the issues of fact or law, determined or concluded by the final determination against 1S the same defendant or defendants as to whom the litigation was finally determined. 16 In any litigation while acting in propria persona, repeatedly files unmeritorious motions, pleadings, or other papers, conducts. unnecessary discovery, or engages in 17 other tactics that are frivolous or solely intended to Cause unnecessary delay. Has previously been declared to be a vexatious litigant by any state or federal 18 court of record in any action or proceeding based upon the same or substantially similar facts, transaction, or occurrence. 19 Appeals of an existing action do not count as “final determ:nations.” Appeals and writs 20 that are related to a current action do not count as “final determinations” or additional 21 determinations, because until all avenues of appeal have been exhausted the determinations 22 cannot be construed as “final.” A judgment is final for all purposes when all avenues for direct 23 review have been exhausted. Interlocutory decisions before a judgment cannot be considered 24 “final determinations.” Docket lists show nothing about qualifying merit of interimmotions do 25 not support a finding of vexatious litigation. 26 To meet the unspecified criteria for "repeated" motions or litigations, the number must be 27 much more than two, and the rule based on case law seems to be around 12. “While there is no 28 -il- bright line rule as to what constitutes “repeatedly,” most cases aftirming the vexatious litigant designation involve situations where litigants have filed dozens of motions either during the pendency of an action or relating to the same judgment." Repeated motions must be "so devoid of merit and be so frivolous that they can be described as a flagrant abuse of the system, have no reasonable probability of success, lack reasonable or probable cause or excuse, and are clearly meant to abuse the processes of the courts and to harass the adverse party than other litigants." Evidence thet a litigant is a frequent plaintiff. or defendant alone is insufficient to support a vexatious litigant designation. The moving party, in addition to demonstrating that the plaintiff is vexatious, must make an affirmative showing based on evidence that the case has little chance of prevailing on the merits. If the plaintiff is so 10 determined, a bond may be required, and if the bond requirement is not met within aspecified ll time period, a judgment of dismissal is ordered. A finding of vexatiousness is not an appealable 12 ordez, but a dismissal for failure to post a bond requirement based on a judgment of vexatiousness 13 ’ is appealable. 14 A. Although Mr. Narog was Involved in Lawsuits, All of theConas Pursued by Mr, 15 Narog had Merit and should not be Deemed Frivolous 16 In 2010, when Attorney Matthew E. Coleman pursued his vexatious litigant motion 17 against Mr. Narog, he claimed that Mr. Narog was involved in muatiple different litigations 18 around the Bay Area Counties. However, it should be noted such a claim without further explanation was misleading and unduly misled the court in its consideration. 19 Of the actual cases noted in the moving papers, the overwhelming majority ofthese cases 20 were small claims cases based on unpaid accounts receivable from Mr. Narog’s landscaping 21 business. By law these small claims cases were pursued in pro per by Mr. Narog. Of the 22 remaining nine cases, Mr. Narog was represented by counsel in of those seven of those cases. 23 The remaining nine cases were comprised of one civil litigation an five restraining order 24 requests arising from issues he had with neighbors in the Redwood Shores community. Mr. 25 Narog eventually 26 Due to his physical handicaps, Mr. Narog was ostracized in his neighborhood by a group 27 of elder Asian ladies who reveled in his dysfunction often taunting him with gestures much of 28 -12- that of Donald Trump’s mimicking of the handicapped. The behavior escalated with several acts | of vandalism perpetrated on Mr. Narog’s outdoor fountain, flower pots and other yard items. Mr. Narog caught certain neighbors encroaching on his property on camera, however, once he spotted their advances the neighbors refrained from carrying out any additional vandalism. Outside of the five restraining orders against these neighbors and the federal civil rights action deriving therefrom and the small claims actions for business debt, Mr. Narog has engaged in very few litigations. The Barajas case noted above involved an auto collision in which Mr. Narog sustained permanent physical injury and property damage and was awarded a portion of the policy limits in an interpleader action in another jurisdiction. Mr. Narog engaged an experienced attomey who 10 chose to pursue litigation in San Mateo County against two joint tortfeasors. As part of the 11 settlement agreement in San Joaquin County, the San Mateo claims against the torfeasor who was 12 later determined to have zero Percent of the comparative negligence were dismissed. 13 Attorneys Dara Tang and Thomas Feeney perpetrated a fraud against the court by leading 14 Judge Freeman to believe the case was somehow frivolous. By presenting Thomas Feeney’s 15 declaration that only revealed a sliver of the case facts, these attorneys failed in their duty of 16 candor te the court. Using the Barajas case in the determination of whether or not Mr. Narog 17 should be deemed a vexatious litigant is a travesty of justice. These attorneys should be 18 sanctioned for their lack of candor in this case. Attorney Scotto would have been derelict in his 19 duties not to include the joint tortfeasor in his complaint. Thomas Feeney’s declaration should 20 have been discredited and the Barajas case should not have been deemed a frivolous action under 21 any circumstance. 22 Likewise the Anderson Chevrolet case was not frivolous. Mr. Narog ended up paying for his truck twice due to an error in Anderson Chevrolet’s accounting. The substituted service that 23 Anderson Chevrolet filed was to a wife that Mr. Narog never had. Mr. Narog only attempted to 24 undo this miscarriage of justice but was precluded by the statute of limitations. Such attempts to 25 undo such a miscarriage of justice should not be deemed frivolous. 26 // 27 28 -13- a conctston 10 For the foregoing reasons address aboye, Mr. Narog respec-fully requests that he be 4 ll removed from the Judicial Counsel Vexatious Litigantlist. 12 13 14 15 Offices of Plaintiff Cory Narog 16 Dated: Seyemate /9 209 17 By 18 For PI it ff Cor arog 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 aw 27 28 -14- Exhibit One / Exeniplification of Court Recore SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA, COUNTY OF SAN JOAQUIN P.
