See a major new development with my Panel having inadvertently documented their acting corruptly, in their Affirmation of 10 of 11 Defendants; Dkt No’s 85; 86; and 88

Please see three new sections, with headers in Red, providing further detail, and proof, that Chief Judge Murguia and certain parties under her direction at the Ninth Circuit are acting corruptly (e.g., see “Someone” at the Ninth Circuit forge one of my individual Defendants to a government official, thereby attempting to gift my Defendants the absolute protection of Sovereign Immunity [see Red Header 1 below]; having someone in the IT Department forge who one of my Defendants is [Red Header 2 below]; and having me blocked from e-filing pleadings [Red Header 3 below] [I wonder what else?]; which see [I had to drive from Arizona to San Francisco to file my 2 most recent pleadings: Dkt No’s 82/83/84, which also see]).

How Two Longtime Phoenix Based Judges Became Corrupt for One to Rescue the Other as Both Sought to Protect Also Longtime and Influential Associates/Friends.

“Arizona’s Corruption Only Provides Justice For Some”

I would appreciate your time and permission to allow me to introduce you to a travesty of Justice caused by the Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Mary H. Murguia, who herself has long been based in Phoenix, and has been moving in the upper echelon of Arizona legal circles for over 30 years; the Chief Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, Judge G. Murray Snow (the District Office is in Phoenix), who has been moving in the upper echelon of Arizona legal circles for over 35 years; a formidable group of Arizona “Power Elites” (11 of whom, for my injuries, by their documented criminal acts, became/are Defendants to a Complaint I filed [a “Complaint” is a lawsuit, for us laypeople]) (see an overview of who these Power Elites are in my Opening Brief below, Chapter 3, Sec III as Exhibit 7 in Ex packet 1-13), who are “the protected” here; and a Phoenix law firm, more powerful than the law firm in John Grisham’s novel, “The Firm” (this Phoenix based firm is commonly know as the “evil empire” in Arizona legal circles); creating an incredibly powerful, and corrupt, Phoenix centric “cabal,” if you will. Please see an 8 page narrative for much more on this story and my below pleadings and Court records, by clicking here.

The evidence/records I have, take us way beyond the Civil standard of “a preponderance of the evidence”...I have proof by the criminal standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Exhibits 12 & 13 prove that Defendants did not act by “declining to indict” but they acted by committing criminal acts as in my Complaint.

Supressing the Truth

The Arizona Daily Independent tried to cover tell my story… but they were harassed, and even threatened (see the below headlines from the ADI, and click [when the ADI; ABC Phoenix; CBS Phoenix; and my State Representative were scared away, I began a series of legal actions, although I had/have no education or skills for such, nor for creating a website.

My State Representative tried to help, until he was harassed, and threatened. See his attempt to bring this corruption to the Arizona House floor in the article below:

My Opening Brief

As described throughout, Judge Snow forged who my 11 individual Defendants are, to the State, thereby gifting them Sovereign Immunity (although, Defendants did not claim such, not in our Court Ordered Meet and Confer, nor even in their 2 Motions to Dismiss); and, by using Defendants’ fraud that I alleged they simply “declined to indict,” he ruled that I had “no standing,” rather than rule by what my Complaint actually says: my Defendants injured me by their documented corrupt and criminal acts; and Judge Snow dismissed, by boldface lying, saying I did not give “any reason” why the Statutes of Limitation had been suspended, or Res judicata voided, when my Complaint Sec II, is 42 pgs with 76 Ex’s and over 300 references to those Ex’s why they are suspended/voided; and Judge Snow ignored 5 AGO Records my Defendants had earlier forged and based their later “defenses” on, but such a scheme has been not accepted in American Colonial/US Courts, not since 1694/5, see Booth v Lord Warrington (Ch’s 1a/1b); and Judge Snow dismissed Defendant Dangerfield saying that his (Dangerfield’s) merely being my Defendants’ past, successful, attorney, does not give any basis for liability, when the Ninth Circuit has well settled that attorneys representing State employees and/or entities having acted under the color of law, can also held liable under 42 USC Sec 1983. 

Again, please see my Brief Chapters 1a/1b re the 5 Forged AGO Records voiding any potential defense; see Ch’s 2/3 re my Defendants’ lack of immunity but Judge Snow gifting them such; Ch 4 re “declined to indictet al; Ch 5 re Statutes of Limitation and Res judicata; and Ch 6 re Dangerfield’s liability (all of which my Appeals Panel of 3 Judges will ignore, which see).

The evidence/records I presented, take us way beyond the Civil standard of “a preponderance of the evidence”...I have proof by the criminal standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

The Ninth Circuit Panel of 3 Judges Affirmed Judge Snow

With all of the work I put into my Opening Brief (and a number of related Motions, et al), Chief Judge Murguai’s 3 handpicked Republican appointed Judges (Judge Snow, and most of my Defendants are prominent Arizona Republicans), they issued a 2 sentence Affirmation of Judge Snow, not addressing any of my arguments or evidence in my Brief, saying:

“The district court properly dismissed Graven’s action because Graven failed to allege facts sufficient to demonstrate Article III standing” (see Judge Snow’s Order of dismissal as Ex 5 to the pleading “A Desperate…” at Dkt No 77 below).

In other words, because I had supposedly alleged my Defendants had “declined to indict,” although that is nowhere in my Complaint, but my alleging they injured me by criminal acts is, over 100 times, I had no standing. And, because my Defendants, as AGO employees/prosecutors have the right to “decline to indict,” my Panel ruled I have no say in that:

“[A] private citizen lacks a judicially cognizable interest in the prosecution or nonprosecution of another.” 

But...I did not allege they “declined to indict”! See Opening Brief, Ch 4. I challenged the Court to run a search of my Complaint…to look for ”declined to indict”…it is not there, not anywhere (except my describing Defendants’ previous use of this fraudulent claim of ”declined to indict” [and derivatives of it, e.g: “ refusal to indict;decision not to indict;et al]).

See my efforts just below at Dkt No 73 to have the Court(s) recognize that I had not used ”declined to indictet al by requesting the Court take “Judicial Notice” of this fact.

My Panel ignored all of Judge Snow’s other obvious signs of a corrupt ruling, including they ignored he had not followed the Rules of Civil Procedure and Case Law for a motion to dismiss (which requires the Judge to take what the plaintiff says as factual/truthful; see the plaintiff ‘s claims in the most favorable light; and more that is favorable to the plaintiff).

1. Further Evidence of Judge Murguia’s corruption: She had someone forge one of my individual Defendants from being an individual to being a State Official, thereby attempting to support Judge Snow’s having forged my individual Defendants to the State, to gift Sovereign Immunity to my individual Defendants (who had no immunity, by Statute, Case Law, and the Arizona State Agency Handbook).

Someone” in the Ninth Circuit Clerk of Court’s Office, and/or “Someone” who has access to the Court’s Docket, attempted to mislead my Panel by creating the illusion that my individually named Defendant Mark Brnovich, for corrupt and criminal acts he committed as Attorney General...was actually named in my Complaint as Attorney General Mark Brnovich. (As his/his Co-Defendants’ corrupt and criminal acts were outside their Scope of Employment/Authority, he/they severed himself/all Defendants from the State, and they disqualified themselves from Qualified Immunity [as individuals, they would not have had Sovereign Immunity]).

Why is this important? Why did “Someone” at the Court commit this criminal act? Because suing a State Officer is the same as suing the State (see Will v Michigan, US Supreme Court), meaning the Official/State is protected by the 14th Amendment for State Sovereign Immunity.

I excluded the State, and its Treasury, throughout my Complaint (see the importance of this in Dugan v Rank, US, as I have cited it in various pleadings [if the plaintiff is seeking State funds, the lawsuit is against the State]); my Defendants’ Summons were in their individual names (see Ex’s 3-11) ; each was Served at home (Ex’s 3-11); I sued, in part, under 42 USC §1983 (which allows for State parties who acted under the color of State law to be sued as individuals) (see my Opening Brief above, Ex 1; or see my Complaint below, Causes of Action); my Defendants’ acts were outside their Scope of Employment/Authority, so they severed themselves from the State, and they disqualified themselves from Qualified Immunity; etc (see my Opening Brief Ch 2).

My Defendants’ attorneys did not claim to be representing the State (Ex 5); my Defendants did not claim to be the State, nor did they claim Sovereign Immunity, in our Court Ordered Meet and Confer Proceedings (again, Ex 5), or in their Motions to Dismiss (Ex 4) (they do later cite Judge Snow gifting them Sovereign Immunity, but do not argue for it in their Answer Brief, or anywhere else). The State did not: Retain counsel in District Court; did not file a Joinder in District Court; did not retain counsel for this Appeal; the State did not ask to be a part of this Appeal.

But Someone at the Ninth Circuit forged my individual Defendants Mark Brnovich to Attorney General, Attorney Genera (yes, they repeat it twice)l Mark Brnovich (Ex’s 6 and 7).

This “description” of my individual Defendant Brnovich did not come the District Court Docket (Ex ‘s 2 and 3), nor my Complaint (see below at “My Complaint…”), nor any of the District Court’s Orders (e.g., my Opening Brief, Ex 22) , nor any of my other pleadings, nor any of my Defendants’ pleadings.

There was no place to copy “Attorney General Brnovich” from...”Someone” at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals simply made it up/forged it.

Here is the short version of proving what I have just alleged: Please see the Defendants’ header of my Complaint below at “My Complaint…” and/or see their own headers on their own pleadings (e.g., Ex 4), all of which list individuals for acts at what their position was when they committed their criminal acts; please see the District Court Docket (Ex 2), and please note that each of my Defendants is lsited as an individual (i.e., there no one, such as Mark Brnovich, who is listed by his/her title, such as Attorney General Mark Brnovich)…bu then see the Appeals Court’s Docket (Ex 7), e.g., as the first Defendant/Appellee, or at Entry 1, in which individual Mark Brnovich is then listed as Attorney General, Attorney General (yes, twice) Mark Brnovich; and see my Emergency Motion (Ex 8) to have the Court correct the many fraudulent entries of Attorney General Brnovich on the Court’s Docket (see 12 such forged entries, in my Motion for Default Judgment, Ex 11 Sec II).

The Court, and my Panel who Affirmed Judge Snow, ignored my efforts to raise this issue, in the following pleadings (see Ex’s 8-13):

a.) MY CORRESPONDENCE 3 WITH THE COURT: APPELLANT’S REQUEST FOR THE COURT TO HAVE THE CLERK CORRECT THE DOCKET MIS-ENTRIES FOR DEFENDANT MARK BRNOVICH (Ex 1);

b.) APPELLANT’S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR THE COURT TO RECOGNIZE AND ELIMINATE ARIZONA DISTRICT COURT CORRUPTION THAT HAS MADE ITS WAY TO THIS RESPECTED NINTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS (See Form 16 Attchd as Exhibit 1.) (Ex 8);

c.) My CORRESPONDENCE 4: A COORDINATED, FORGED/CORRUPT PLAN TO MANIPULATE THIS COURT INTO A MAL-INFORMED AFFIRMATION OF JUDGE SNOW’S ERRANT DISMISSAL OF MY COMPLAINT HAS BEEN EXPOSED (See my Corr 3, Dkt No 47; my Emergency Motion, Dkt No 48 (filed 1 month ago); and my Reply to Appellees’ No-Response, Dkt No 49.) (Ex 10);

d.) My MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT TO REVERSE JUDGE SNOW FOR APPELLEES AND COURT PERSONNEL FRAUDS ON THIS COURT (Ex 11);

e.) APPELLANT’S MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT TO OVERTURN JUDGE SNOW FOR APPELLEES’ CONTINUED, DELIBERATE, VOLUMINOUS, FRAUDS ON THE COURT (SEE APPELLEES’ ALLEGED MOTION TO BAR, DKt No 56, WHICH IS AT CONTROVERSY HERE) (Ex 13).

Not only did the Court do nothing about this fraudulent effort by “Someone” forging who my Defendant really is, in my Panel’s Affirming Judge Snow, they stuck their collective finger in my eye, as they themselves used Attorney General, Attorney General Mark Brnovich (again, per just above, The Ninth Circuit Panel Affirmed in Dkt No 65, page 1) (albeit, they did not Affirm by Someone’s attempt to give my Defendants’ Sovereign Immunity):

“MARK BRNOVICH, Attorney General, Attorney General; et al., Defendants-Appellees.

To me, my Panel using the forgery of my individual Defendant Mark Brnovich to Attorney General, Attorney General Mark Brnovich…while ignoring my pleadings repeatedly raising this issue…is a testament to their corruptly Affirming Judge Snow by an allegation that is not in my Complaint, and is in fact antithetical to my Complaint (again, see Dkt No’s 68-79). Doesn’t this forgery raise the issue of what other corrupt acts by the Court, are there?

My 1st Motion for Reconsideration

Within hours of receiving my Panel’s just above Affirmation of Judge Snow, I had (too hurriedly) filed my first Motion Reconsideration. I will admit, I was, at the risk of being melodramatic, in a state of shock. Shortly after filing (hours, not days) my first drafted Motion, I noticed a number of errors, and so I refiled my Motion to correct those errors (hence, my pleading says: “Notice of Errata,” meaning, for us laypeople: Notice of Errors), and I added that I would like an “En Banc” panel, meaning an 11 Judge Panel, rather my original 3 Judge Panel would review the Affirmation. 

As you will see, in this Motion, I was yelling and screaming, at the top of lungs, that I did not allege “declined to indictet al anywhere in my Complaint. My yelling and screaming will get louder, as I had been screwed by this fraudulent claim...this/one too many times.

How could my Panel Affirm by a claim that is not in my Complaint, which was actually covered in my Complaint and Brief as “watch-out for this fraud, it’s not true but Defendants will use it”...this fraud was very well covered in my Brief Ch 4 (see a portion of Ch 4 in this Motion). I have covered this fraud in a number of pleadings...but it is such a good one, Defendants and corrupt Judges have used and reused it.

I Re-Filed my Earlier Filed Dkt No 35 for 2 Requests for Judicial Notice (“RJN”)

For the not-legally experienced reading this, a “Request for Judicial Notice” is a simple, but interesting/useful legal maneuver. If a party asks for the Court to take Judicial Notice of one issue/fact or another (the opposing party may fight the Request), and if the Court grants Notice, there is then no arguing later as to the truthfulness of that issue/fact or its being admitted in Court.  

The textbook example of this was a young attorney representing someone who had been accused of murder...the young attorney asked for the Court to take Notice that on the night of the murder there was no moon. Later, when the prosecutor’s star witness was called, and testified that he could see the defendant commit the murder...the young attorney stood up and noted that the witness was some blocks away, on a pitch black dark night (reminding the Court of its taking Notice of there being no moon on the night of the murder), and so the witness could not have seen that distance to the scene of the crime or what had happened at that distance.

The case was dismissed...the young attorney was Abraham Lincoln.

I Requested the Court take Judicial Notice that there is no place in my Complaint that I alleged “declined to indictet al or that I had claimed to have a Federal Right to have someone prosecuted (another fraudulent claim my Defendants used to confuse the Judge[s]).

Please note, this RJN was first  filed on 6/2/23, 6 months before my Panel Affirmed by Defendants and Judge Snow’s very fraudulent claim of: “declined to indictet al.

Also please note (in this RJN), I reminded the Court that I had filed a Motion for an Accelerated Ruling at the very beginning of my Appeal (Court of Appeals Dkt No 3), asking the Court to quickly overturn Judge Snow’s dismissal, because...you guessed it...because I had not claimed my Defendants had “declined to indictet al as Judge Snow had dismissed by.

Neither the Appeals Court at large, nor my Panel responded to, or even mentioned my extremely probative Requests for Judicial Notice (which were for facts as important as there being no moon on the night of the murder).

I filed a Desperate Correspondence to Chief Judge Murguia

I was coming unglued, plain and simple, and I filed a desperate plea for Justice with Chief  Judge Murguia. 

Why did I approach/bother the Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals for my simple case?

Because I had discovered that as Chief Judge, she was not in San Francisco, where the Ninth Circuit is “located,” but that she was in known-to-be-corrupt Arizona, Phoenix, and had always been there, not only since joining the Arizona District Court, so even before she was moved up to the Ninth Circuit she had been in Phoenix...but I had learned that she has been an attorney at the US Attorney’s Office in Phoenix for a number years before becoming a Judge...and so collectively, she had been in the upper echelon of Arizona legal circles for over 30 years (i.e.., she well knew Judge Snow; my Defendants; and the law firm they had acted to protect.

So had I learned, that she had long been working right next door to District Court Chief Judge Snow, for almost 20 years (and that her Chambers are in the same locale as the wife of my lead Defendant Mark Brnovich, Judge Susan Brnovich).

So again, I realized, she had long worked with, as Judge Snow has also, most of my Defendants, and the law firm they acted to protect, and so I filed my desperate Correspondence.

With these waves of information, and what I then perceived as what was behind why Chief Judge Murguia (Democratically appointed) having handpicked a Panel of 3 Republican Judges. I realized: she picked a Panel to Affirm/rescue her longtime associate Republican Judge Snow, and most of my Defendants, also well-known Republican Power Elites in Arizona, as is the law firm known to be a supporter of Republican causes (e.g., Snell & Wilmer was Mark Brnovich political sponsor for Attorney General).

Plain and simple: Judge Murguia handpicked a Panel to rescue/Affirm Judge Snow; rescue my Defendants; and indirectly benefit the law firm.

So I filed this emotional plea (Dkt No 77) to Chief Judge Murguia, begging her to bring Justice back into my Case…by arguing every point by which Judge Snow had clearly, corruptly, dismissed my Complaint, and how my Panel had merely followed her instructions to rubber stamp/Affirm…by an assertion of Judge Snow’s, that is not even in my Complaint (while ignoring all else Judge Snow had done errantly), and has been shown to be Defendants’ fraud, countless times.

My Complaint is Against 11 Individuals Who Injured me by Their Corrupt and Criminal Acts

In my Complaint, I alleged, over 100 times, my Defendants injured me by their documented corrupt and criminal acts, first as they “exonerated” the Snell Parties (who had been approved to be indicted by the just previous Attorney General); and then when they committed more criminal acts as they attempted to cover their tracks from having criminally “exonerated” the Snell Parties; and then, they committed even more criminal acts as they “defended” themselves in Court(s) against my legal efforts. See Exhibit 11 AGO Special Agent’s PPT for the Grand Jury for the grand jury to indict the Snell case suspects.

For examples of their documented acts, see just below, and see such throughout my Complaint; see in my Opening Brief Chapter 7 Statement of the Case (which is Ex 9 above in my Opening Brief Exhibit packet No’s 1-13). For the just below examples of my Defendants’ corrupt and criminal acts, see my Complaint Ex’s 12 and 13 in the packet of Complaint Exhibits No’s 10-19

Documented Examples of Defendants Corrupt and Criminal Acts

Defendant Ahler gave Notice (Ex 12 at Ref 1) that he was conflicted with the prosecution/continuing investigation of the Snell & Wilmer Criminal Case (Ref 2) (in part, as his son is an attorney with Snell [they were also Defendant Brnovich’s political sponsor]). 

Six Snell Case suspects were found during the investigation and were then approved to be indicted by then-Attorney General Tom Horne. 

Ahler’s boss, Defendant Conrad, Screened him (Ref 3), as required by Statute; Case Law; and the Arizona Agency Handbook (the State’s employee manual).  The evidence/records I have, take us way beyond the Civil standard of “a preponderance of the evidence”...I have proof by the criminal standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.”

Exhibits 12 & 13 prove that the Defendants did not act by “declining to indict” but they acted by committing criminal acts.

But then, Ahler participated (Ex 13 at Ref 1) with Conrad and Defendant Waters in the Snell Case Charging Papers, removing the names of the 4 Snell Parties (the law firm and 3 of its attorneys) (Ref 2). This left just 1 suspect to be indicted... but for conspiring with the 4 Snell Parties (Cmplnt Ex 14) (see Note 1). 

The 6th suspect had already signed a Plea Agreement (Cmplnt Ex 10), for conspiring with the 5 Snell Case suspects, agreeing to testify against the remaining 5 suspects. 

Ahler participating in the Snell Case Charging Papers is Criminal Conflict of Interest (ARS 38-510); Conrad enabling Ahler is Criminal Facilitation (ARS 13-1004); Conrad, Ahler and Water discussing these matters is Criminal Conspiracy (ARS 13-1003); their removing the Snell Parties names is Criminal Forgery (ARS 13-1002); etc.

Defendants then dismissed a number of confessed felons, who, not coincidentally, were to testify against the 5 remaining Snell Case suspects (cases dismissed included the one Snell Case defendant who had pled guilty and signed a Plea Agreement; and others felons who had knowledge of the Snell Case crimes but had been convicted for different, but related crimes); felons whose cases were dismissed included felons that were paying me restitution; and many more injurious acts (see their “Supporting Acts” below; in my Opening Brief Ch 1b, Sec I; and see my Cmplnt Sec II-I, Par’s 407-409 and Ex’s). 

For even more of Defendants’ crimes, see my Complaint Paragraphs 33-45, with more evidence/Exhibits. 

Note 1 This is the same Snell & Wilmer that is a part of the Ninth Circuit’s Pro Bono Program. 

Supporting Acts

Quickly, Defendants “Supporting Acts” include (which see where described above): they concealed records; refused records requests; denied records existed; fired active investigators; threatened witnesses; forged records to stop restitution I was receiving; manufactured evidence; dismissed completed criminal cases against already convicted criminals (who were to testify against the Snell Parties); committed repeated Frauds and other deceptive acts on the Court(s); and hid their corrupt and criminal acts behind/abused the 11th Amendment for State Sovereignty... all to exonerate the Snell Parties for their criminal acts, and to cover their own tracks left from the acts they committed exonerating the Snell Parties, and then they committed even acts “defending” themselves in Court against my legal efforts. 

As I stated many times: I alleged and provided evidence for my injuries by Defendants’ documented corrupt criminal acts, not their allegedly having “declined to indict,” et al the Snell Parties; and for dismissing cases against convicted felons who were paying me restitution; and much more.

I filed a Desperate Correspondence to Chief Judge Murguia:

I was coming unglued, plain and simple, and I filed a desperate plea for Justice with the Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit of Appeal, Judge Mary H. Murguia.

I had discovered that as Chief Judge, she was not in San Francisco, where the Ninth Circuit is “located,” but that she was in Phoenix, and had always been there since joining the Ninth Circuit... and that she had been an attorney at the US Attorney’s Office in Phoenix for a number years...and so had been in Arizona legal circles for over 30 years.

And so I realized, she had been working right next door to District Chief Judge, G Murray Snow, for almost 20 years (and that her Chambers are in the same locale as the wife of my lead Defendant Mark Brnovich, Judge Susan Brnovich).

And so I realized, she had long worked with, as Judge Snow has also, most of the Defendants, and the law firm they acted to protect.

With these waves of information, and what I perceived as the corruption behind why Chief Judge Murguia (Democratically appointed) handpicked a Panel of 3 Republican Judges, to rescue Republican Judge Snow, and most of my Defendants who are well-known Republican Power Elites in Arizona, Judge Murguia handpicked a Panel.

So I filed an emotional plea, to Chief Judge Murguia, to bring Justice back into my Case…by arguing every point by Which Judge had clearly, corruptly, dismissed, and how my Panel and merely followed her instructions to rubber stamp/Affirm…by an assertion of Judge Snow’s, that is not in my Complaint, and has been shown to be Defendants’ fraud, countless times.

My Open Correspondence 1 to Judge Murguia

As I regained my senses/balance, and could see just how corrupt, and why my Panel had Affirmed Judge Snow (again, see who my Defendants are), and that this corruption had infected my Panel/the Ninth Circuit through Judge Murguia’s obvious associations/conflicts, it became apparent that she had acted corruptly to protect her longtime office neighbor, Judge Snow, my Defendants, and the law firm they acted to protect (I made this an “Open” Correspondence, hoping other Circuit Judges, and other servants of Justice at the Ninth Circuit would see my Correspondence). 

In my Open Correspondence 1, I called the situation what it is, saying that it had blown up in her Court, and that she needed to clean-up this/her mess. 

I asked if she would pull a “Watergate,” and ignore/make the situation worse, or meet this mess head-on and do the right thing(s). 

I told her I wanted to see that she had set a Hearing to clean this mess up (per my Motion for a Hearing in Dkt No 77), and that I wanted to see that Hearing set by Friday, January 19, at 5:00PM (this Correspondence was on a Thursday, the week before the week of Jan 15/19). 

I concluded my Open Correspondence 1 by saying there was no legitimate reason to not grant me a Hearing.

My Final Plea for a Hearing by Open Correspondence 2 to Chief Judge Murguia 3 days Before my Deadline of 5:00 PM on 1/19/24 to have a set Hearing

On the Wednesday morning before my Friday deadline, I filed one last plea for a Hearing, giving Chief Judge Murgia 9 bullet points of why Judge Snow’s dismissal was clearly corrupt, and that her Panel’s directed rubber stamp Affirming Judge Snow, was also, clearly, blatantly, corrupt.

And I reminded Judge Murguia that someone in the Clerk’s Office had forged my individual Defendant Mark Brnovich, to Attorney General, Attorney General, Mark Brnovich (a title, which until this forgery, appeared nowhere in the record: not in the Appeals Court; not in District Court; not in any of my or my Defendants’ pleadings). I filed an Emergency Motion asking for this forgery to be stricken, Dkt No’s 47/48, but the Court ignored such. 

My Panel, so as to stick their collective finger in my eye, used Attorney General, Attorney General, Mark Brnovich on the cover of their Order Affirming Judge Snow (see their Order above at Dkt No 65). 

I did not hear from Judge Murguia by 5:00 PM January 19, 2024, so my website went live Sunday January 21, 2024.

The time by which I had asked Chief Judge Murguia of the Court of Appeals to set a time/date for a Hearing, which was 5:00PM, on Friday, January 19, to confront the corrupt Affirmation of Judge Snow by my Panel, came and went.

Although I had been hopeful Judge Murguia would not ignore/hide from what she had done to support her longtime Judicial neighbor in Phoenix, Republican Judge Snow and protect my Republican Power Elite Defendants, that is exactly what she did. 

Although I had been hopeful, I was prepared for her taking the wrong direction and  using the “Nixon/Watergate” route, which, as is well known, is to attempt to evade/cover-up what she had done for Judge Snow, by her handpicked Panel. 

So the website I had prepared for Judge Murguia possibly taking the wrong direction, went live Monday morning, January 22. 

And although she had attempted to steal the balance of my life, and my Family’s futures, with her corruption, I extended her the courtesy of providing her notice of the website, and its address.

I have filed a number of pleadings regarding “ declined to indict,” et al (in just my most recent Case, which is my 5th Complaint over the past almost 8 years), in my efforts to achieve Justice for the criminal acts and resulting injuries by my influential and powerful Defendants.

I am particularly disgusted, almost overwhelmingly, by the...is “overt” corruption the right adjective? Blatant? Flagrant?  

I’ll go with flagrant, as what Republican Judge Snow did (several of my 11 Defendants are Republican Power Elites in Arizona), and Judge Murguia arranged to be Affirmed, by her handpicked Panel of 3 Republican Judges, are gross violations and abuses of our Rule of Law; Judicial Ethics; and of our Justice System. 

My Panel Affirmed Judge Snow’s dismissal of my Complaint by his having ruled that I had alleged in my Complaint that my Defendants had merely “declined to indict” the Snell Parties, which is in stark contrast to what my Complaint actually alleges, more than 100 times, and provides evidence for...which is that I alleged and provided evidence for my Defendants having injured me by their documented criminal acts. 

I had filed a number of pleadings detailing how Defendants’ defense by “declined to indictet al, was fraudulent, and Judge Snow’s use of it was fraudulent.. 

To make it clear to one and all (particularly for the ethical parties at the Ninth Circuit), although my Panel’s corrupt Affirmation is obvious, as there are so many pleadings that detail how “declined to indictet al, is a fraud, I decided to file a Correspondence with the Court of Appeals listing the pleadings in my Appeal that my Panel could not have accidentally missed, which made clear:declined to indictet al, was fraudulent (both by my Defendants’ use, and then by Judge Snow’s use).

2. Judge Murguia endeavors to prove her Court is corrupt, by having senior level IT parties secretly block me from e-filing my pleadings, while not informing IT Staff of her having blocked me.

On Thursday morning, February 1, 2024, I signed into my CM/ECF account at the Ninth Circuit (Ex 1a), as I have done many, many times. This time, to file what would be Dkt No 82 (my Notice of Intent, which because of the Court’s Order of handling my in-person filed pleading, became Dkt No 83) 

I moved through the Court’s e-form, filling in where required, to e-file my Notice of intent (Ex’s 1a and 1b [see Ex’s 1a, 1b, and 1c just above]).

When I clicked the Court’s e-file “Continue” button (which see at the bottom of the page of Ex 1b), I received the standard Internet “Error 404” noting “Object not found!” message (Ex 1c).

While I am jumping ahead a bit, please note the Court’s URL address following a click of its “Continue” button, which takes the user to the “Submit” page, at the top of Ex 1c...and compare it to an email I will receive from the Court later in that day, with the Court asking/confirming that I am entering the correct URL address (Ex 1d).

You will see the address given by me by my clicking the Court’s “Continue” button (again, at the top of Ex 1c), is the same address as what the Court gave/asked for confirmation of in Ex 1d (i.e., my clicking “Continue” should have taken me to the “Submit” page).

Please note: I do not manually enter this URL address (although the Count, in Ex 1d, asked if I was using the correct address/link), it is “entered” by the Court’s own “Continue” button/instructions... I have no input into what address I am being linked to (it is the link to the Submit page, at which, when I click the “Submit” button, my pleading is e-filed).

Thusly, by realizing the Court enters the URL, that the URL entered by my clicking “Continue” was entered by the Court’s CM/ECF system, and that the address the Court system did enter the court URL (which see at the top of the page of Ex 1c), which matched the URL address the Court asked me to confirm, so all match...but I received the Error 404 message...means, what?

It means that some senior IT party put a false link in my CM/ECF account, to prevent me from filing any any pleadings (please see mutiple partes at the Court, including IT Staff, spend that day, Thursday. trying to overcome this false link/block [Ex’s 2 through 33, with Ex’s 30-33 showing my several calls to the Court], and conclude there was nothing they could do to fix it...agreeing I should use FedEx... [Ex’s 25a and 25b] [by which I suspected my FedEx package would “be lost” in the mailroom]).

I repeatedly stated in my communications with the Court that it was clear to me that there was a “bug” in their system, and that I was being blocked.

I asked several times if I Should FedEx my pleadings (meant to be tongue in check).

Court IT staff will inadvertently confirm that some form of senior party(ies) IT corruption had been used in my CM/ECF account to block me from e-filing my pleadings, which see below in Red Header 3 below.

So on Thursday February 1, I learned I was blocked from my CM/ECF account, by apparently senior level parties at the Ninth Circuit (as several parties including the IT Staff I worked with in attempting to overcome the technical “issue” I was having, and others at the Court who assisted, were not able to overcome the issue that was keeping me from e-filing , and they clearly did not have any knowledge of my being blocked).

The next day, Friday, I was feeling badly about being blocked, and not being able to file what I believed was an important pleading (that was to be Dkt No 82, but because of the Court’s timing, became No 83 [which see below]), giving Notice of Intent to file a lawsuit against my 5 Judges, as individuals), trying to decide how I could have my pleading filed (and how I would file a planned follow-on pleading, which should have been Dkt No 83, but which see as No 82).

I did not believe sending my pleading via FedEx would work, as I was quite certain my envelope would get lost in the mailroom (I asked the IT Staff, et al, on Thursday, if my envelope would get lost, but no one answered).

While giving thought to all of this (Ex’s 1a and 1b), I recalled that the IT Staff, et al, had commented the day before that they had confirmed I was not blocked (Ex’s 2a and 2b); and they could not “reproduce” the issue I was having (Ex’s 3a, 3b, and 3c); and I recalled they had confirmed the URL address that my clicking the “Continue” button should take me to (Ex 4, which compare to the header in Ex 3c).

At the end of the day Thursday (see Ex 5a, 4:57PM MST), IT Staff, et al, gave up, and suggested I use FedEx to file my pleading (Ex 5a and 5b):

“Thank you for trying again. Since we cannot provide you with any further assistance, yes, please FedEx your filing.

Once received by the Court, it will be entered on the docket in your case.”

So, on Friday...as I did “the math” of IT Staff, et al, telling me my account was not blocked (Ex 3a); that they could not “reproduce” the issue I was having (also Ex 3a); and that the URL address the Court’s “Continue” button was taking me to was the correct URL (Ex’s 4/Ex 3c); and that they could not overcome the issue (Ex’s 5a/5b), it occurred to me on Friday afternoon, that as they could not reproduce my issue...who/how were they signing in as, may be the root of issue.

So, I emailed IT Staff, asking (Ex 6):

“I have a question for you: when you say you could not reproduce my issue, had you signed in as yourself, or as me?”

Their response is very telling (Ex 7):

“We have a test user account, so we can log in as a public (non-court) filer for testing purposes.”

In other words, it is just me, Will Graven, who had been blocked (by someone with access to the inner workings of the Court’s CM/ECF system.

3. Court IT Staff inadvertently confirm/prove that senior level Court parties had secretly and corruptly blocked me from e-filing pleadings (I drove from Flagstaff, Arizona to San Francisco to file Dkt No’s 82 and 83 below).

I informed the Ninth Circuit that I would be filing a civil lawsuit against my five documented, corrupt, Judges, as individuals: Dkt No 82

Quite simply, now (post my Notice of Intent, Dkt No 83) that Judges Murguia, Snow, Wallace, Lee, and Bumatay know I will be filing a civil Complaint against them, they should not be a part of my Appeal/Motion for Reconsideration En Banc. 

And so I filed this Emergency Motion to Disqualify them from my Appeal. 

This is the second document I filed by my having driven to San Francisco to file. 

This second pleading was filed at 10:20AM, on Monday, February 5 (the first pleading was filed at 9:11AM), and should have appeared as Dkt No 83. 

But the Court processed this Emergency Motion first, and so it became Dkt No 82, and the second pleading (my Notice of Intent) became Dkt No 83 (so some context in the two documents is out of order).

As my five documented, corrupt, Judges, now know I will be filing a civil lawsuit against them, and so we are known adversaries, I filed a Motion with the Ninth Circuit to disqualify the 4 Circuit Judges from participating in my Motion for Reconsideration En Banc: Dkt No 83

My Panel of 3 Republican Judges, handpicked by Judge Murguia, Affirmed Republican Judge Snow on 12-15-23. 

I filed a Motion for Reconsideration later that day (Dkt No 68), and I filed have a series of important pleadings since (which see here on this webpage, Dkt No’s 73, 76, 77, 78 and 79). 

Over this period since 12-15-23, including my recently finding out I had been secretly blocked by senior Parties at the Ninth Circuit from e-filing any pleadings (IT Staff, et al, was not aware of or able to overcome this blocking), it has become clear that, Judge Murguia is taking the “Watergate” route of making the cover-up as bad as or even worse than the original acts committed. 

As a result, I have decided to file a civil complaint (lawsuit, not a Judicial Complaint) against Judges Murguia, Snow, Wallace, Lee, and Bumatay. 

Contrary to popular belief, a Federal Judge can be sued for acts that: 

1.)    were outside of their Judicial capacity/scope of authority/employment;2.)    were with malice;

3.)    were corrupt;

4.)    were connected/coordinated;

5.)    violated Federal Statutes; and

6.)    violated Constitutional Rights. 

And so, I gave this Notice to the Ninth Circuit that I would be filing a Complaint against 4 of its Judges. 

I drove from Flagstaff, Arizona to San Francisco to file this and one more related pleading. 

This pleading was filed at 9:11AM on 2-5-24, and should have been Dkt No 82. 

The second pleading, an Emergency Motion to Disqualify the 4 Ninth Circuit Judges from my Appeal, was filed at 10:20AM, and should have appeared as Dkt No 83. But the Court processed my Emergency Motion first, and so it became Dkt No 82 (so some context in the two documents is out of order).

In reviewing my pleadings and overall efforts, while working on this website… I was reminded, and shocked by, the fact that I had several outstanding pleadings regarding someone in the clerks office, or someone who had access to the courts docket, having forged who my lead defendant is, from an individual defendant, to being an officer of the state.
My individual lead defendant was Mark Brnovich, whose wife is a judge on Judge Snow’s court .

There is nowhere on the district court docket, in any of my pleadings, in any of the Defendants’ pleadings, or in any orders from any judge in the District Court, in which Mark Brnovich is referred to as Attorney General Attorney General Mark Brnovich (see why I repeat Attorney General twice, below)..

But someone at the Ninth Circuit forged individual Mark Brnovich to being Attorney General, Attorney General Mark Brnovich .

Why is this significant?

Because suing an officer of the state is the same as suing the state, which thereby gives the Defendant or Defendants state sovereign immunity (see Will v Michigan, US supreme court) .

Someone at the Ninth Circuit forging individual Mark Brnovich to Attorney General, Attorney General Mark Brnovich was a set up to thereby affirm judge snow by my allegedly having sued an officer of the state .

And so, in the pleading I filed here at docket number 84, (which see, click the blue header above) I asked the court if it realized that when my panel affirmed judge snow, that they (my Panel) had ignored the forgery of my lead defendant.

And I asked the court, more than once, doesn’t the corruption required to forge my lead defendant on the Ninth Circuit’s docket, suggest that there may be, or likely is, other corruption involved in the appeals court’s affirming Judge.  

With the 2-month anniversary of my Panel Affirming 10 of my 11 Defendants fast approaching, I filed a Motion with the Court, asking the Court to Clarify/Make Known that Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal had not been Affirmed; Click here for Dkt 85

With the 2 month anniversary of my Panel’s Affirming the dismissal of 10 of my 11 Defendants by District Court Judge Snow fast approaching, it became apparent to me that my Panel (of 3 Circuit Judges) would not be ruling on my 11th Defendant, Mark Dangerfield, who is also all Defendants lead attorney in my District Court case and in this Appeal. 

I filed a Motion with the Court asking them to Clarify/Make known that Defendant/Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal had not been Affirmed (nor considered, as best I could determine). 

It appears my Panel missed there being 2 separate Motions to dismiss, by Defendants having separated themselves in 2; which see Judge Snow list in his Oder, and my Panel missed that he granted those 2 Motions separately in his Order of dismissal. 

It also appears my Panel missed that these 2 separate Motions/Order of dismissal were argued in a number of Appeal pleadings (both by the Defendants/Appellees, and me). 

The implications of my Panel not seeing the separate Motions/Orders/Appeal pleadings will become numbing (i.e., it shows/proves my Panel did not even read Judge Snow’s Order of dismissal, or any Appeal pleadings...they were directed by someone as what to say in Affirming my 10 Appellees...and that this someone missed Dangerfield was a separate Motion/Appeal). 

So, in a “Correspondence with the Court,” I asked if the Court realized that the separate dismissal of Appellee Dangerfield had not been Affirmed?

Following my Correspondence with the Court raising the issue of Defendant/ Appellee Dangerfield’s dismissal not having been ruled on, and so was yet outstanding, I filed a Motion for Summary Reversal of his dismissal: Click here for Dkt 86

Defendant/Appellee Dangerfield is not a prosecutor. 

This is important as my Panel had Affirmed the dismissal of someone/10 of 11 of my Defendants by declined to indict/prosecutorial discretion (“someone,” as my Panel did not specify whom they were Affirming). 

My allegations against Dangerfield were different than those against my 10 other Defendants: I sued him for acts in his past legal representation of defendants in previous actions I had filed, as clearly stated/agreed by Judge Snow in his Order of dismissal. 

Dangerfield filed his own Motion to dismiss, separating himself from my 10 other Defendants. He began that separation in their (the 10’s) filed-first Motion to dismiss. 

My Panel Affirmed for “Mark Brnovich, Attorney General, Attorney General; et al.” (see this forgery of individual Defendant Mark Brnovich in Dkt No 84) ; Dangerfield was not included, either by name; by his separate Motion for dismissal; or by his having any part in “...the prosecution or non-prosecution of another” (again, Dangerfield is not a prosecutor).  

Dangerfield’s dismissal has not been Affirmed by my Panel’s Affirming Judge Snow’s dismissal of the 10, so I filed a Motion for Summary Reversal of his dismissal. 

Judge Snow’s dismissal of his longtime associate and fellow active Church member is clearly corrupt, including I never anywhere claimed “declined to indict,” resulting in prosecutorial my Panel Affirming by discretion…I alleged my injuries were by Defendants’ criminal acts, including documented forgeries, and so Judge Snow’s order should be reversed.

As a result of Dangerfield not having been Affirmed, and the obviousness of his dismissal being corrupt, I filed a Motion for Summary Reversal of his dismissal. 

As mentioned just above (in Dkt No 85), the implications of my Panel not having ruled on/seen Dangerfield’s separate dismissal are numbing. So, I filed a Correspondence with the Court asking if it understood their delay in undoing that corruption of certain judges was further exposing the corruption: Click here for Dkt No 88

In this Correspondence with the Court, I stated to the Court that it must have become obvious with my Motion to Clarify/Make Known my Panel did not rule on Defendant/Appellee Dangerfield’s separate Motion to dismiss/dismissal by Judge Snow (Dkt No 85), and my Motion for Summary Reversal of Dangerfield (Dkt No 86): As my Panel was rushed to Affirm Judge Snow the Friday before Appellees’ response to my Motion for Summary Reversal was due on Monday, in Judges Muguia/Snow’s haste, their coaching of my Panel was incomplete, they thereby documented their corruption.  

By this documentation, it is clear my Panel did not read Judge Snow’s Order of dismissal; or any Appeal pleadings, they simply took instructions from Judge Snow to use his/my Defendants’ fraud of “declined to indict,” and they Affirmed (ignoring my Opening Brief Ch 4; seen everywhere else).  

How can I claim that my Panel read nothing, including that they ignored my Ch 4, et al

Because they did not see/act on even the first sentence of Judge Snow’s Order of dismissal:  

 “Before the Court are State Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 33), Mark Dangerfield’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 34); ...” (Bold underline added by me.) 

Had my Panel seen this sentence, they would have also known to rule on Dangerfield’s separate Motion to dismiss.  

Or, had they read Judge Snow’s CONCLUSION to his Order, they would have known to also rule on his second dismissal:

“IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant Mark Dangerfield’s Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 34) is GRANTED.” 

That my Panel did not read Judge Snow’s Order or any Appeal documents is obvious: They did not even know there were 2 dismissals that were moved for; granted; and then argued here, so they did not rule on Dangerfield’s dismissal/Appeal. 

How could my Panel rule on whether or not to Affirm, without reading Judge Snow’s Order? 

How could my Panel rule on whether or not to Affirm, without reading any Appeal pleadings?
