June 08, 2009 NY Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing – Testimony of Christine C, Anderson Whistleblower from the New York Supreme Court Appellate Division First Department testifies second. Eliot Bernstein was to testify minutes later when the NY Senate Coup took down the capital building of communications and power, closing the hearings before the Iviewit Patentgate story could be told. The hearings show a deep and penetrating corruption of the New York Court System and Attorney Disciplinary.

HUGE PROBLEM HERE…I smell a RAT..a BIG DIRTY RAT..I wonder how Judge Kaye’s going to look in stripes? Wow, what a way to have to spend the rest of one’s life, behind JAIL CELL BARS..HAPPY RETIREMENT JUDGE KAYE
Is Saint Andrew going to defend the witch, Kaye and her gaggle of vipers. Why wasn’t Saint Andrew doing his elected work for the people? Saint Andrew was informed of the corruption by his boss, the people, but Saint Andrew apparently acts on his higher duty as Patron Saint of crooked lawyers and judges.
they bombed the minivan?
ATF does not fool around someone should have been arested imidiatly for something like that.
When the mob has done things like that the govt was quick to find out who did it and prosecute.
People should have already bennsent to jail. I think the Senators should have already done something about this beside taking campaign donations from law firms.
Proskauer Rose was alway$ very appreciative, if you know what I mean ($$) of DDC employee$ Tom Cahill and $herry Cohen…. $omehow the Manhattan attorney ethic$ committee, where the drunkards Cahill and Cohen drink, er, worked, always seemed to loose complaint$ again$t Pro$kauer Ro$e lawyer$.
Proskauer Rose LLP attorney Navid Soleymani conspired in theft and destruction of Court Documents and then committed Misprision of Felony, see Indisputable Evidence.
On Thursday, January 10, 2008, U.S. Federal District Court Judge Shira A. Scheindlin directed that the 1.5 Billion dollar Iviewit “patentgate” case, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on December 12, 2007, be assigned to her court.
Allegations of covering-up and whitewashing complaints against favored attorneys find both cases seeking the appointment of a federal monitor to take over New York’s statewide attorney ethics committees. A third lawsuit, filed December 28, 2007, is currently under review by Judge Scheindlin to be designated as an associated case in the state ethics scandal, Tammany Hall II.
Federal Magistrate Judge Douglas F. Eaton has also been assigned to both the Anderson and Iviewit matters.
In another order, signed January 9, 2008, Judge Scheindlin directed U.S. Marshals to serve the Iviewit lawsuit on the listed defendants.
This should make the DDC and OCA sweat more than they have been…this is the big push needed for invasion into the operation of the NY STATE OFFICE OF COURT ADMINISTRATION and their operations for at least the past 17 yrs…the DE-KAYE reign! God, this is a blessing for all NY STATE TAXPAYERS AND VICTIMS OF THE FRAUDULENT CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR OF the most sacred of government entities in this country…the COURT SYSTEM!
I pray that you’re right. The whole system has been Teflon coated for so long, most of us (read: victims) gave up hope a long time ago, and are waiting in the wings dreaming of vindication.”Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.”
- Paul Gauguin
No one is invincible or that well protected..opportunities eventually find one person that can originate the fall…Rome remembers!
Thugs that flip from law enforcers to criminals cannot psychologically perfect the two!
I’ve been reading this blog for months but have never left a comment until now.I’ve known about the corruption in the NYS courts for many years as my husband worked as a judge’s law secretary until he retired last year.Maybe- just maybe -there is hope with this Federal Justice Scheindlin.
I too filed complaints against attorneys in the 1st Dept., the result being that Thomas Cahill double talked me. I always wonder why, what was going on. Now I can understand a little. It was all corrupt, the fix was in. As a direct result I gave up and never filed a complaint against the Surrogage Judge which I should have done. I will try to join this law suit also. God Bless Judge Scheindlin
How complaints against attorneys or law firms were buried over the years? One can only guess at how many complaints against Judges received the same fare.
Tammany Hall II, Public Corruption Scandal Grows – by $1.5 Billion Numerous reports confirm the hearing quickly turned extraordinary.
Federal Judge Scheindlin first read into the record a list of 8 different people from around the world who had copied the court on various correspondence concerning the New York Ethics Scandal and their support for the appointment of a federal monitor.
Excellent news! Let the lawsuits fly in! Overhere, in the Netherlands, I am still working on a amended ethics grievance — against Melvyn Weiss and associates at Milberg Weiss — which will reveal, in most obvious terms, that the Disciplinary Committee whitewashed the ethics grievance against Mel Weiss. My case is not a billion dollar issue, though I will hold the Disciplinary Committee responsible for their severe negligence [tort] in my case. Secondly: I have a surprise due for judge Greenaway in the Genta litigation:-)) Stay tuned!
I was present for part of the Anderson v. State matter, then it was annouced that Mr. S. Lamont/Iviewit had just filed this case – WOW! Even the Judge took note! From what I could see there were some other folks that additionally wanted to join in. Good Luck it looks to be interesting.
Here is hoping NYC gives a big push to cases filed in areas outside of it! It should be more impactful if federal court sees cases filed against OCA AGENCIES ALL OVER THE STATE! Good luck to all of what is going on in NYC!
just take a look at the list of employees over thier. Just look at
at the racial diversity of Manhattan and then look at how few minoritys that work thier.
Look at how they hire people not by qualifications by who they know to get in.
IF any private company had such a small percentage of minoritys they probably would be sued and forced to become equal opertunity employers.
That’s the way the big law firms especially the “white Shoe” ones get to control the system and get away with all their criminal doings – they don’t want any n*****s in the wood pile!
I’ve seen the website on “Iviewit” the ones that filed this federal suit, man it’s wild! There are pictures of this guy Bernstein’s car that the lawyers/thugs blew-up! This is serious dude!
Lord only knows what else these creeps got away with… people were too afraid to go against these monsters and bullies, therefore, never reporting it..or reported it and it was swept under the rug.
Can’t wait to see the complaint against the woman that was sexually abused by her attorney Allen H. Isaac and how they are protecting him..He should be behind bars and disbarred..but yet he continues to practice law..go figure..he’s got the DDC in his pocket also…I hope she exposes their corruption in her lawsuit, so that all could see how the DDC even protects sexual predators.
While surfing I came across this blog which is very good. It is even more important because approximately 6 years ago I filed several complaints against attorneys in the 1st Dept. that just died. I kept calling speaking with various people including Mr. Thomas Cahill and all I was told was to resend the complaints because they could not find them, they had been lost. After the 5th time I gave up! Reading all this I now have a pretty good handle on what happened.
OCA cannot get away with anything more. Shortly, some DISCOVERY will be expressed, exposed and manifested…much to the stupidity and arrogance of their legal dept and ATTY JOHN J. SULLIVAN, ESQ. What is included in this document is going to be A ball buster and shock for these losers! OCA never knew what went on upstate for years! The type of people, the events and finally the judicial actions taken without any knowledge of all of this ( only an attempt by NYC employees and judiciary to protect the ethnicity and political status of these hacks), will be a JOY to present! MARK YOUR CALENDAR FOR jan 2, 2008!

For Immediate Release:
NY TIMES REPORTS $80 MILLION SUIT CLAIMING WHITEWASHING IVIEWIT COMPLAINTS v.PROSKAUER & NY SUPREME COURT
NY TIMES & LAW JOURNAL REPORT $80 MILLION SUIT CLAIMING WHITEWASHING OF IVIEWIT COMPLAINTS v. PROSKAUER, STEVEN KRANE PAST NYSBA PRES, FOLEY LARDNER & NY COURT OFFICERS – REVEALED BY ATTY INSIDE WHISTLEBLOWER
United States of America (Press Release ) November 23, 2007 — In an explosive $80 Million federal lawsuit http://www.iviewit.tv/CCA-2-amended.pdf a staff attorney at the New York Supreme Court claims officials whitewashed Iviewit complaints against Proskauer Rose, Steven C. Krane, Esq. (former NYSBA Pres & clerk to Chief Judge Judith Kaye) & other high ranking NY Supreme Court officers. The inside whistleblower also claims she was physically assaulted & then terminated to keep Iviewit claims of fraud on the US Patent Office and other government agencies buried.
The New York Law Journal @ http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1193648632218 and The New York Times @ http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/01/nyregion/01suit.html?ref=nyregion reported on a federal lawsuit claiming high ranking members on the New York Supreme Court, purposely and with intent to cover-up for other high ranking court officials, caused the whitewashing of complaints against attorneys and senior court officials who committed hosts of state, federal, and international crimes against a multiplicity of governmental agencies, and in fact, threatened and coerced Plaintiff Anderson, including wrongfully terminating her and physical assault, for voicing concern that there was irrefutable evidence of wrongdoings by the attorneys and court officials to cover up the crimes committed against the United States.
In the lawsuit http://www.iviewit.tv/CCA-2-amended.pdf filed on October 27, 2007 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, filed as Christine C. Anderson v. The State of New York, et. al. S.D.N.Y., October 27, 2007 the Plaintiff affirmatively claims support by the Iviewit matters of patent sabotage, FRAUD ON THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE, intellectual property theft, and an attempted murder perpetrated by, among others, the once respected Proskauer Rose LLP and its members Kenneth Rubenstein, Steven C. Krane, (former New York State Bar President, former clerk to Chief Judge Judith Kaye), Chief Judge Judith Kaye and her late Proskauer partner husband Stephen Kaye, Christopher C. Wheeler, Foley & Lardner LLP led by its former Chairman and former Republican National Committee, Chief Counsel, Michael C. Grebe and others.
In that lawsuit, the Plaintiff factually alleges that:
Upon information and belief, defendants also state that the timing of the, Plaintiff’s abrupt firing was connected to the newly circulated revelations concerning Cahill’s status as an individually named defendant in a lawsuit entitled In the Matter of Complaints Against Attorneys and Counselors-At-Law; Kenneth Rubenstein-Docket 2003.0531; Raymond Joao-Docket 2003.0532; Steven C. Krane- Docket 2004.1883; Thomas J. Cahill- Special Inquiry #2004.1122; and the Law Firm of Proskauer Rose, LLP; filed by Eliot I. Bernstein, Pro Se and P. Stephen Lamont Both Individually and On Behalf of Shareholders of: Iviewit et. al., Petitioners. [Iviewit's].petition was filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Appellate Division: First Department.
** M3212 Raymond A. Joao and Meltzer Lippe Goldstein & Schlissel and,
** Thomas J. Cahill – Special Inquiry #2004.1122 – Cahill was transferred for Special Inquiry and Investigation to Martin Gold per First Dept rules.
Original First Dept Complaints:
** Kenneth Rubenstein – Docket 2003.0531 First Department, ** Raymond Joao – Docket 2003.0532 First Department, ** Steven C. Krane – Docket 2004.1883 First Department, ** the Law Firm of Proskauer Rose, LLP and, ** the Law Firm of Meltzer Lippe Goldstein Wolfe and Schlissel
Additionally, and similar to the NYLJ and the NYT, as reported in an article aptly titled “Justice Department Widens ‘Patentgate’ Probe Buried by Ethics Chief Thomas J. Cahill” @ http://exposecorruptcourts.blogspot.com/2007/08/justice-dept-widens-patentgate-probe.html the Iviewit inquiries have reached the highest levels of New York & Washington political circles and into many judicial chambers as well.
The original inquiries revealed that New York ethics Chief Counsel Thomas J. Cahill of the First Department Disciplinary Committee whitewashed investigations, which recently led to his abrupt departure.
In a letter dated July 16, 2007, H. Marshall Jarret’s office, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Professional Responsibility, announced from its Washington, D.C. headquarters that it was expanding its investigation into a bizarrely stalled FBI and US Attorney investigation, initiated in 2001, that involves the theft from Iviewit of nearly 30 patents, trademarks and other intellectual properties, with an estimated value of a trillion dollars. The OPR investigation was sparked by a request from the DOJ – OIG, Inspector General Glenn Fine’s Office whom is also conducting an ongoing investigation. The patent pending applications and other IP have been suspended by the Commissioner of Patents pending the outcome of ongoing state, federal and international investigations. The probe reaches some of New York’s most prominent politicians and judges, and has already proven to be a stunning embarrassment to the State’s ethics watchdog committees.
As a backdrop to the technologies in question, Mr. Bernstein’s inventions, the Iviewit video scaling and image overlay systems, are the backbone, enabling technologies for the transmission of video and images across almost all transmission networks and viewable on all display devices, an elegant upstream solution (towards the content creator) of reconfiguring video frames to unlock bandwidth, processing, and storage constraints — the “Holy Grail” inventions of the digital imaging and video worlds that enable low bandwidth video on the Internet and mobile phones.
As previously reported, the U.S. Senate and U.S. House Judiciary Committee(Representative John Dingell, Chair of the Energy & Commerce Committee forwarded the Iviewit matters to John Conyers, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee for investigation) have known about the Iviewit investigation since about September of 2006. Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s office is also championing the Iviewit cause. The story is globally known in technical and intellectual property circles, with ongoing investigations at international patent offices such as the European Patent Office as well.

I was told the EEOC could not look into the DDC a few years ago. Hopefully with the lawsuit maybe the EEOC will look into it.
It is amazing that these people have unions. In the lawsuit it says that they have a union.
I do not understand
in the lawsuit it says they are union workers. If they work for the State jobs should be open and competitive. They also should be held to standards that other state employess are held to. They are
state jobs that are not equal oppertunity, that are not open to
all who qualify regardless of race and other influences.
If it the Unified court system writting the checks. What does the Unified Court system and the State answering questions about who they hire at the DDC?Spitzer should get involved.

November 25, 2007 11:30 AM always in the know about the courts and unions said… First of all, the EEOC is a massive hack office of the federal gov.! they told me i did not have a case and i knew i did from a past federal action and my extensive experience and education from OCA….THANK you OCA! I FORCED THEM to investigate (WNY) and maryanne drabczyk, eeoc, did… an i’m screwing you, lazy girl attempt from her desk and telephone to OCA’S hack and admin. heads, and then made outrageous, untrue, lies and statements in writing. Butt, funny she did give me the right to sue letter. for the second phase of my case, termination by OCA, she pretended she would just send a right to sue letter immediately to my home…. acting sweet as liquor. but after consultation with andrew eisenberg, non-judicial admin., for chief judge sharon townsen, 8th dist., from OCA, she sucker punched me and sent it to the washington bureau of the dept of justice, DOJ, first, for their approval…hoping they would see that no investigation was done and, not knowing that she sent me a right to sue a few months prior, they, the dept of justice would reject it! BUT…. i got word from my excellent investigative sources that she did this and i called DC and gave DOJ THE MANY details they needed…. and soon after i got the right to sue letter!!!! EEOC does business with OCA through the STATE division of human rights and, therefore will do whatever they can to negate your complaints about any agency within OCA..no matter how serious they are. EEOC needs to be investigated also ,and they are part of my federal complaint… they will always work with NY courts behind your back! always file and force them to investigate, even if they accuse you of taping them? huh?..oh yes, until they give you the right to sue letter!
as far as the unions….CSEA is in collusion with OCA….fact! CSEA’S only interest is securing small cost of living raises for its dues paying brothers and sisters, while spending the other 3 years playing with each other…check out what they do in their offices and how they pretend to represent you, when they ‘never” “WIN any cases that don’t include a bunch of employees….singulair cases take play time and play money from CSEA big shots and, allows OCA to play hardball at contract time!….right donahue?!

I cannot believe what is going on with our Judicial System, Police Departments, District Attorney’s Office, etc. After reading what happened to Mr. Bernstein,and Ms. Anderson, it leads me to believe that all of my conspiracy theories might be valid. I along with Mr. Bernstein and Ms. Anderson, have substantial evidence of a possible cover-up within the DDC Dept.and other Agencies. I was allegedly sexually abused by my former Attorney Allen H. Isaac, Esq.I presented my evidence, DVD Audi-Video tape with Mr. Isaac’s admissions on it to the District Attorney’s Office along with witnesses.I was victimized by the Chief of the Sex Crimes Unit,she had me in tears for approx. 3 hours. My evidence was never presented to the Grand Jury. I went to the Manhattan Special Victims Squad and the Detective told me “Mr. Isaac was getting arrested”. The Police Report reads “Felony, Sexual Abuse, Wanted Allen H. Isaac. Will Prosecute, Yes”.The Detective told me” favors were getting called in and they were not allowing the arrest”. Thus Far, there has not been an arrest. Attorney Anthony Denaro sent a letter to Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, a Notice and Demand to arrest on reported “Felony level Sexual Abuse”. In addition,i filed a complaint at the DDC in 2005, and could not believe what i was experiencing at the hands of these proceedings.The DDC transcribed my DVD Audio-video tape which had numerous ommissions regarding pertinent and critical conversations. They told me i could not have an Attorney present during the hearings, they were not submitting the Police Report into evidence,witnesses on my behalf were not getting called in to corroborate my complaint. An Intern that worked for Mr. Isaac came forward saying that this was not an isolated incident, the Office staff warned her to steer clear of him. She was not getting called in as a witness.The harrassment i experienced at their hands was beyond believable. My testimony was blackened out with magic marker, after i tried to address my concerns about the hearings. Why is our system failing us, Is it Greed, Money, Power? God Bless us all, let’s band together as citizen’s to try and stop all of this corruption.Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJlvm7-56S4 and listen to my video and read the comments.

Ray Joao was retained by Proskauer Rose to patent Iviewit inventions as Kenneth Rubenstein’s lackey. Both Rubenstein and Joao were at Meltzer Lippe Goldstein Schlissel and Wolfe prior to Proskauer grabbing Rubenstein immediately after learning of the inventions and starting an IP department based on stealing those inventions. Raymond Joao is beyond a disreputable scum, he is scum from the bottom of hell, he put 90 patents into his own name, all to do with Iviewit inventions. A true bottom feeder and lackey for Proskauer and Foley and Lardner doing the dirty work. Ray purposely filed false patent applications a federal crime and violated almost all of his federal patent bar regulations. Ray also is a flat out liar, he tried to say he never met inventors Jude Rosario and Zakirul Shirajee but mounds of evidence refute that. Ray is under investigation at the USPTO OED with all these criminal attorneys, I mean attorney criminals.
As for Luisa Esposito, I admire this woman who has been hosed by the system to protect some sexually perverted attorney who solicits bj’s for legal work, hope when she gets hers, he will like giving bj’s to his roomie homey in New York’s finest prison.
As for me, well we can stop this crap now, yank these public servants gone mad from their jobs and try them for their abuse of power. It is not impossible, oh, you mean Dick Cheney has impeachment papers at the Judiciary Committee for war crimes, etc. and Alberto Bongo is gonzo, well it takes time but history is replete with incidence whereby crap like this is removed in a single flush into the New York historical sewer.
New Yorkers must now get enraged at their public officials and call them to the light, they hate the light, demand answers, file complaint after complaint, force them to jump down into the sewer to escape the light.
Fear not who they are from title, title is earned, they brought down Nixon and he had a pretty powerful title.
Fight now or you are cowards and your children will spit on you when they see you were a coward who sold out their freedoms and government.
My kids are making noise now
The government is trying to suppress rebellion and what they are about to find out is that New Yorkers and most Americans are not going to stand for this shit much longer before we pitchfork their heads. Fool me once.
If you can’t fight city hall, tear it down!

A federal court-ordered hearing in the New York State Ethics Scandal Case (Anderson v. State of New York 07cv 9599) was held in Courtroom 15C of the United States Courthouse at 500 Pearl Street in Manhattan on Wednesday, December 12, 2007 before U.S. District Court Judge Shira A. Scheindlin.
Judge Scheindlin accepted the Iviewit lawsuit, Bernstein v. Appellate Division First Department Departmental Disciplinary Committee, as related to the pending New York attorney ethics scandal case, Anderson v. The State of New York.
Proskauer Rose is laying off 35 associates and 25 administrative staff, reports The Am Law Daily. The news was announced in a memo, sent out by the firm yesterday (4 December), although which offices or practice areas will suffer the most is not specified. The New York firm said the layoffs are due to both the economic crisis and the “unprecedented reduction in our historical lawyer attrition rate.” Proskauer launched an office in London last year with hire of Matthew Hudson, the former head of O’Melveny & Myers’ City arm. In September, the firm also secured its long-awaited Asia launch after hiring a two-partner team in Beijing from Heller Ehrman. Proskauer has been one of the most upwardly-mobile practices in the US in recent years, successfully expanding beyond its core employment practice into a stronger corporate profile. During the last two weeks a raft of US firms have made layoffs, including Reed Smith, White & Case, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, while firms including Cravath Swaine & Moore and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett have cut back associate bonuses.
On Friday, August 24, 2007, we ran “Justice Department Widens ‘Patentgate’ Probe Buried by Ethics Chief Thomas J. Cahill:
In a letter dated July 16, 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Professional Responsibility, announced from its Washington, D.C. headquarters that it was expanding its investigation into a bizarrely stalled FBI investigation that involves an almost surreal story of the theft of nearly 30 U.S. Patents, and other intellectual property, worth billions of dollars. The probe reaches some of New York’s most prominent politicians and judges, and has already proven to be a stunning embarrassment to the State’s ethics watchdog committees. (Click here to see the July 16, 2007 letter “D.O.J. Widens Patentgate Probe”)
The Fox and the Hen House
It was only recently exposed in July that the underlying “Patentgate” inquiries were effectively buried, or derailed, under the leadership of Manhattan’s top State ethics Chief Counsel, Thomas J. Cahill, Esq. Mr. Cahill’s “retirement” was then quickly announced after his own ethical failings in the Patentgate matter, along with other ethics complaints that were made, became known.
While no one can exactly figure out how inquiries under Mr. Cahill’s charge went so awry, one thing is certain. At the same time the Patentgate probes were being secreted by state officials in New York, the United States Patent and Trademark Office Patent bar increased their own investigation into the same matter implicating the same attorneys. (Note: Mr. Cahill’s replacement was recently decided, and an announcement is expected as early as next week by the Appellate Division, First Department Presiding Justice, Jonathan Lippman.)
“Patentgate”
The defrauded company is called “Iviewit” – pronounced, “I-view-it.” The company’s internet site originally advertised their groundbreaking technology. Now, the opening page of the company website (www.iviewit.tv) displays unsettling photographs of the inventor’s family vehicle after it was bombed.
“This is quite serious,” says an investigator close to the federal probe. “The charges allege that valuable ‘back-bone enabling digital imaging technology’– MPEG type intellectual property– was stolen by the inventor’s own attorneys, the once-untouchable Manhattan based law firm Proskauer Rose. This is going to get very ugly,” he says.
Members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House Judiciary Committees have known about the Iviewit investigation since about September of 2006, and it is in our nation’s capital where the matter quickly earned its moniker “Patentgate.” And the story was also globally known in technical, Intellectual Property circles. But the big question remains: how did such an explosive story like Patentgate stay off every mainstream media’s radar screen—especially in New York.
“I know how,” says a retired federal agent who asked not to be identified. “Phone calls were made—many phone calls. Plain and simple.” And while this retired federal agent isn’t surprised by the apparent “cover-up,” he is alarmed by his own findings after a month-long independent review of all submitted Iviewit papers. “I can’t find one discrepancy in the allegations, not one unsubstantiated charge,” he says. “For one, you have the highest state courts in New York white-washing this thing with ‘unpublished’ rulings. And then you have state ethics committees contradicting themselves– in writing, no less. It’s a complete meltdown,” he concludes. “The broken system appears to have finally fallen apart.”
“Iviewit was been radio-active from day one,” says one prosecutor who asked not to be named. “Considering who was involved, you know the phones were ringing off the hook, and with a simple directive: ‘don’t go near it’ (an inquiry).” He believes, however that a serious shake-up is imminent. “The powers that be can’t contain this story anymore—it’s out, U.S. Senators and Congressman are talking about it. This involves national Commerce issues: attorneys stealing U.S. Patents from their own client, and the illegal failings of a state’s ethics agency by its own cover-up, and selective, self-dealing, politically-based inaction. Patentgate appears to have exposed the true, and troubling, underbelly of ethics investigations in New York State. And its not pretty.”
Additional Background Information
The original complaint involving Thomas Cahill and the Proskauer Rose law firm has been “pending” since February of 2004. The Cahill Proskauer Complaint is a high priority for the new State Chief Administrative Judge, the Honorable Ann T. Pfau.
The Cahill Proskauer issue became a hot topic in Washington, D.C. in early 2007 at the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, the U.S. House Judiciary Committee and the U.S. Department of Commerce (The United States Patent and Trademark Office). And it has specifically caught the attention of U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein, and U.S. House Representatives John D. Dingell and Nita Lowey. The Cahill Proskauer Scandal involves many allegations: the alleged theft by Proskauer of numerous U.S. Patents from their own client; claimed losses over 10 years on a trillion dollar technology pool that has affected all forms of digital imaging and video; and the March, 2005 bombing in Boynton Beach, Florida of the inventor-client-complainant’s family mini-van.
It is alleged that Mr. Cahill masterminded the scheme to indefinitely delay complaints against Proskauer Rose, himself, and former New York State Bar Association President and Proskauer partner Steven C. Krane, Proskauer Partner Kenneth Rubenstein, chief counsel for MPEGLA, and attorney Raymond Joao of Yonkers. It is also alleged that attorney Steven C. Krane initially interceded, with Mr. Cahill’s knowledge and consent, in handling disciplinary complaints involving himself at the same time he was associated with the 1st Department in Manhattan. Attorney Krane’s conflicts were exposed when officials from the Iviewit company contacted Katherine O’Hagan Wolfe, who contradicted Cahill’s statements and Krane’s written denial of his 1st Dept roles. Ms. O’Hagan Wolfe advised that she was, in fact, on a Committee at the 1st Dept with both Cahill and Krane, and that they even had a meeting that same night.
The various Cahill Proskauer issues bounced around under the public radar screen at the Court of Appeals in Albany and were ultimately transferred from the 1st Department to the 2nd Department in Brooklyn. This was done after 5 justices of the 1st Dept ruled unanimously to investigate Krane, Rubenstein and Joao for conflict of interest and the appearance of impropriety after their review of the 1st Department complaint. The Cahill inquiry is apparently “still pending” under attorney Martin R. Gold who, insiders say, was directed to “sit on it…forever.” Earlier this year, FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. assigned additional agents to the Public Integrity Corruption squad at 26 Federal Plaza in Manhattan, and where agents have been actively conducting interviews.
An author of one of the letters, P. Stephen Lamont of Iviewit, immediately advised the court that he was withdrawing his copying of his letter to the court in light of an associated federal complaint filed shortly before the hearing.
A court law clerk then handed Judge Scheindlin a copy of the just-filed complaint, Bernstein v. 1st Dept. Disciplinary Committee, et al. (S.D.N.Y 07cv 11196, filed December 12, 2007)
The $1.5 Billion Dollar Bernstein complaint alleges widespread public corruption in the handling of ethics complaints involving fraud and stolen U.S Patents by various New York law firms and attorneys. The action by Bernstein has been marked as an associated case to the Anderson lawsuit since both matters concern allegations of Ethics Committee Public Corruption and, additionally, both cases seek the appointment of a federal monitor over New York State ethics committees.
Bernstein’s allegations, and known as “Patentgate” are currently under review by numerous U.S. Senators, the U.S. Congress, the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the FBI’s watchdog unit, the Office of Professional Responsibility in Washington, D.C.
The defense counsel in the Anderson matter, a Lee Alan Adlerstein from the New York State Attorney General’s office, attempted to categorize the Anderson case as a simple wrongful termination action, but the Judge did not see it that way– and said so.
“This case is not a garden variety…it’s a whistleblower…there is that aspect to it…,” said Judge Scheindlin.
Informed sources reveal that at least one more associated federal complaint will be filed soon, along with other various filings that will pull together serious allegations of ethics related public corruption from every corner of New York State.
Stay tuned to this story: Tammany Hall II – this is history, albeit ugly, in the making…
And we’ll be posting the One and one-half Billion dollar Patentgate lawsuit soon!
Proskauer Rose is laying off 35 associates and 25 administrative staff, reports The Am Law Daily. The news was announced in a memo, sent out by the firm yesterday (4 December), although which offices or practice areas will suffer the most is not specified. The New York firm said the layoffs are due to both the economic crisis and the “unprecedented reduction in our historical lawyer attrition rate.” Proskauer launched an office in London last year with hire of Matthew Hudson, the former head of O’Melveny & Myers’ City arm. In September, the firm also secured its long-awaited Asia launch after hiring a two-partner team in Beijing from Heller Ehrman. Proskauer has been one of the most upwardly-mobile practices in the US in recent years, successfully expanding beyond its core employment practice into a stronger corporate profile. During the last two weeks a raft of US firms have made layoffs, including Reed Smith, White & Case, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, while firms including Cravath Swaine & Moore and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett have cut back associate bonuses.
On Friday, August 24, 2007, we ran “Justice Department Widens ‘Patentgate’ Probe Buried by Ethics Chief Thomas J. Cahill:
In a letter dated July 16, 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Professional Responsibility, announced from its Washington, D.C. headquarters that it was expanding its investigation into a bizarrely stalled FBI investigation that involves an almost surreal story of the theft of nearly 30 U.S. Patents, and other intellectual property, worth billions of dollars. The probe reaches some of New York’s most prominent politicians and judges, and has already proven to be a stunning embarrassment to the State’s ethics watchdog committees. (Click here to see the July 16, 2007 letter “D.O.J. Widens Patentgate Probe”)
The Fox and the Hen House
It was only recently exposed in July that the underlying “Patentgate” inquiries were effectively buried, or derailed, under the leadership of Manhattan’s top State ethics Chief Counsel, Thomas J. Cahill, Esq. Mr. Cahill’s “retirement” was then quickly announced after his own ethical failings in the Patentgate matter, along with other ethics complaints that were made, became known.
While no one can exactly figure out how inquiries under Mr. Cahill’s charge went so awry, one thing is certain. At the same time the Patentgate probes were being secreted by state officials in New York, the United States Patent and Trademark Office Patent bar increased their own investigation into the same matter implicating the same attorneys. (Note: Mr. Cahill’s replacement was recently decided, and an announcement is expected as early as next week by the Appellate Division, First Department Presiding Justice, Jonathan Lippman.)
“Patentgate”
The defrauded company is called “Iviewit” – pronounced, “I-view-it.” The company’s internet site originally advertised their groundbreaking technology. Now, the opening page of the company website (www.iviewit.tv) displays unsettling photographs of the inventor’s family vehicle after it was bombed.
“This is quite serious,” says an investigator close to the federal probe. “The charges allege that valuable ‘back-bone enabling digital imaging technology’– MPEG type intellectual property– was stolen by the inventor’s own attorneys, the once-untouchable Manhattan based law firm Proskauer Rose. This is going to get very ugly,” he says.
Members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House Judiciary Committees have known about the Iviewit investigation since about September of 2006, and it is in our nation’s capital where the matter quickly earned its moniker “Patentgate.” And the story was also globally known in technical, Intellectual Property circles. But the big question remains: how did such an explosive story like Patentgate stay off every mainstream media’s radar screen—especially in New York.
“I know how,” says a retired federal agent who asked not to be identified. “Phone calls were made—many phone calls. Plain and simple.” And while this retired federal agent isn’t surprised by the apparent “cover-up,” he is alarmed by his own findings after a month-long independent review of all submitted Iviewit papers. “I can’t find one discrepancy in the allegations, not one unsubstantiated charge,” he says. “For one, you have the highest state courts in New York white-washing this thing with ‘unpublished’ rulings. And then you have state ethics committees contradicting themselves– in writing, no less. It’s a complete meltdown,” he concludes. “The broken system appears to have finally fallen apart.”
“Iviewit was been radio-active from day one,” says one prosecutor who asked not to be named. “Considering who was involved, you know the phones were ringing off the hook, and with a simple directive: ‘don’t go near it’ (an inquiry).” He believes, however that a serious shake-up is imminent. “The powers that be can’t contain this story anymore—it’s out, U.S. Senators and Congressman are talking about it.

Patentgate appears to have exposed the true, and troubling, underbelly of ethics investigations in New York State. And its not pretty.”

Re: Fundamental Matters of the Global Economy and Intellectual Property Rights under Article I of the US Constitution involving direct Fraud on the US Patent Office with devastating impacts on future US Intellectual Property development and Fundamental Matters of the Administration of Justice under Law[1]
Dear Honorable President Barack Hussein Obama II:
I, Eliot Ivan Bernstein, am writing to bring to your attention as the 44th President of the United States urgent matters fundamental to the United States and global economy, regarding an ongoing investigation of Fraud on the United States Patent & Trademark Office (“USPTO”) and fraud on International Patent Authorities through violations of international trade treatises arising under Article I of the United States Constitution and further involving the fundamental operation and administration of Justice under the Law in the federal Courts and urgent matters implicating the integrity and operation of Federal and state agencies in estopping Free Commerce, including but not limited to the USPTO, Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”), actions of the Offices of US Attorneys around the nation, the US Postal Inspector’s Office, the US Marshals Service and more. It is ever more apparent with the revelation of the alleged crimes of your predecessor that these crimes and the denials of due process came from a top down set of orders, similar to the alleged war crimes, where even whistleblowers feared coming forward or nothing was done to protect them.
Of paramount importance to the interests of the “United States” is the fact that I, Eliot Bernstein, have been specifically urged by Harry I. Moatz, (“Moatz”) Director of the Office of Enrollment & Discipline of the USPTO (“OED”) to seek Congressional legislation to correct these urgent matters impacting the fundamental integrity of the USPTO and adversely impacting the future and development of Inventions and protection of patent rights in the United States with obvious corresponding implications for the future of the US economy and commerce.
In this regard, as you will note herein, I am urging the immediate and active involvement of the Office of President and any and all appropriate federal executive powers and agencies to correct these matters herein and protect Article I of the US Constitution, the integrity of the USPTO and Justice system for the future of the United States and for the Hope and desire for Change that brought about your election to the Office of President as the new Executive and instrument for change.
Background
I write to you as the Original Inventor and Owner of key technologies involving video scaling and imaging processes which were stolen in 1998 and have since been used throughout the United States and across the globe through the value chain of content creation and distribution both software and hardware for the transmission of Internet and Digital Video and Imaging across all spectrums, including, Television, DVD, HD DVD, Chips as well as a mass of applications for Defense, Flight & Space Simulation, including on the Hubble Space Telescope (providing a deeper view into time) and on virtually all Medical Imaging Devices, and more. Technologies heralded as the “holy grail” and valued in the hundreds of billions to a trillion dollars over the life of the IP, having transformed the world of digital imaging and video that now considered part of daily life.
More importantly, I write to you as the Victim of not only the financial crimes but an Attempted Murder, after death threats were made for me to keep the lid on information exposing a Fraud on the USPTO by licensed IP attorneys, at Proskauer Rose LLP, Foley and Lardner LLP, threats became real for my life and the life of my lovely wife, Candice Michelle, and my three sons, Joshua Ennio Zander, Daniel Elijsha Abe Ottomo and Jacob Noah Archie as a result of the Iraqi style Car Bombing of my Mini-Van in Boynton Beach, Florida on or about March 2005. Full pictorial images of this Car Bombing are available for your review at www.iviewit.tv and the fire inspector for the Boynton Beach Fire Department, Rick Lee, Plans Reviewer/Fire Protection Engineer, determined that accelerants were the cause of the bombing.
This event was reported to the FBI investigator, Special Agent Stephen Lucchesi (“Lucchesi”) in the West Palm Beach FBI offices, who also was investigating for several years the Iviewit companies’ affairs and mainly the crime directly against the United States of Fraud on the USPTO in conjunction with Moatz. Moatz directed me to file with the Commissioner of Patents a complaint notifying the USPTO that Fraud against the United States had occurred in the submission of fraudulent applications to the USPTO as well as on my companies’ shareholders and me. I also wish to point out as you can see, find and review from the website www.iviewit.tv that Iviewit has a host of shareholders including folks like Ellen DeGeneres[2] who has done an infomercial supporting Iviewit and other performers like Alanis Morissette and more.
More recently and surreally Special Agent Lucchesi has gone missing per the FBI, with the case files and this has elevated the matters to The Honorable Glenn Alan Fine (“Fine”), Inspector General ~ Department of Justice (“DOJ”) who invoked The Honorable H. Marshall Jarrett (“Jarrett”) from the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility (“OPR”) to further investigate, where again we were stonewalled by Bush Justice Department officials who have sought to avoid the matters through obfuscation and dereliction of their duties and oaths versus resolving them according to law. A brute force, top down denial of due process and procedure that precludes me from my inventions, precludes me from pursuing my rights legally and thus constituting a Constitutional violation that denies the core of free commerce, rights to your Intellectual Properties the Founders intended as the backbone of free commerce denied by the very people charged with upholding these rights. The fact that those in charge of protecting one’s rights executed the crimes and committed the covered-up makes the crimes even more egregious.
At the present moment in time, President’s Day 2009, neither the Attempted Murder against my life and family nor the multi-year conspiracy to steal my Inventions and Technologies and defraud the rightful and proper owners and interest holders in that Technology have been corrected under Law despite ongoing and continuing actions and efforts by myself and others via the FBI, US Attorneys, US Courts, The European Patent Office, The Japanese Patent Office, The Korean Patent Office, Institute of Professional Representatives before the European Patent Office (epi), State Courts of Florida and New York, The Honorable John Conyers Jr. – Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee and more[3]. The patents remain suspended by the Commissioner of Patents[4] outside the law defined in Title 35 of the Patent Act pending the investigation of charges of Fraud on the USPTO by licensed USPTO attorneys, further denying my rights to monetize my inventions.
Since my attorneys stole my inventions by placing them in their own names[5] and the names of non-rightful inventors, Moatz, directed me to seek an Act of Congress because the current laws due to privacy issues and other matters preclude me as the Original Inventor from making changes on stolen patents in others names necessary to convert them back to the true and proper inventors. This precedent setting case has invoked me to seek an Act of Congress on advice of Moatz to have legislation that returns the inventions to the true and proper inventors when Fraud upon the United States has occurred.
The Honorable United States Senator Dianne Feinstein (“Feinstein”) was contacted next with such request for new legislation[6] and we eagerly await actions from her offices, which started with contacting the DOJ, and again appear to have stalled under the corruption that plagued the Bush Administration politicization of the DOJ under Mssrs. John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales and Michael Mukasey. This new federal legislation is but one matter for which I am specifically seeking the active involvement of the Office of the President and Congress and any and all appropriate federal agencies herein.
Most interestingly although despicably, during the Administration of your predecessor President George W. Bush not a single media report of this Car Bombing was ever reported to this very day and no protections by any law enforcement agency have been implemented to protect me and many others involved who are exposing such crimes, either through the Courts or DOJ. In fact, many conflicts of interest and violations exist within the private legal community involving disciplinary and ethic laws combined with Public Office violations within federal and state government lawyers and agents charged with investigating the complaints, and handling the legal actions, further disabling our efforts at justice while defiling the halls of Justice.
It is expressly noted to your Office that the underlying technologies that were stolen and are the subject of my federal lawsuit and request herein are intertwined with the Enron Scandal, Enron Broadband, and the collapse of Arthur Andersen LLP with Enron related parties believed to be connected to various Defendants in my underlying lawsuit. The original parties to the crime have further created an anticompetitive monopolistic patent pooling scheme MPEGLA LLC and others, whereby such anticompetitive actions to convert the royalties’ everyday from the true and proper inventors of the technologies further impacts daily commerce and free trade and continues to sustain the criminal organization.
President O’Bama, I also respectfully wish to bring to your attention a news source claiming Federal authorities as a source in this information, which indicates an alleged implication for US Senator Charles Schumer in the ongoing Madoff Ponzi Scheme money scandal in Manhattan. I am not making any conclusions on this information nor am I making any accusations. However, I do wish to remind you that, like my case and that of Iviewit herein, Harry M. Markopolos of Boston was trying to blow the Whistle on the Bernard Madoff scam over 10 years ago including an in person meeting with then NYS Attorney General Eliot Spitzer who was supposed to be the Sheriff of Wall Street.
I specifically bring this information located on the Internet[7] to your attention both because US Senator Schumer is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee with influence over the selection of federal judges and prosecutors and also because the NY Post just reported that US Senator Schumer wishes to make his Chief Counsel at the Senate the next US Attorney for the Southern District where my case was filed and where the Wall Street Financial meltdown is still being investigated along with the Madoff scandal. Like Markopolos, I too have been trying to notify proper authorities of a Trillion Dollar scandal, perhaps one of many such patent frauds, involving tremendous liabilities to state and federal agencies that are implicated in the cover-up and fraud named Defendants in the federal lawsuit[8] and have been ignored, despite overwhelming evidence and very real patent suspensions. I urge your Office and staff to pursue diligently all possible implications of this information relating to US Senator Schumer to ensure the Integrity of the DOJ and Offices of the US Attorneys and for the good of the Nation.
There are several hundred Iviewit Signed Non Disclosures, Non Competes, Strategic Alliances, Licensing Agreements signed with many Fortune 1000 companies worldwide dating back to 1998 including but not limited to financial institutions, investors, and others as this Technology was deemed the “Holy Grail” of the Internet and Television by leading experts from Lockheed Martin, Intel Corporation, Silicon Graphics, Inc., AOLTW, Sony and others, by permitting Video at a reduced bandwidth which fundamentally transformed the Internet from a Text based medium to a Multimedia based medium and transformed digital television and video.
Injunctive relief has been sought to prevent the illegal monopolization and violations of antitrust law including Sherman and Clayton that would dwarf the Rimm v. Blackberry harm to the public had that injunction not been settled by the court. Injunctive release in this case, while appropriate would effectively halt the transmission of Internet video to even your blackberry device, cripple the digital transmission of television by limiting bandwidth by over 75% thus reducing channel capacity by a similar percentage. Injunction would force a product recall in hardware and software of digital imaging and video products since 1998 unparalleled in the history of invention.
Simply reviewing the List of companies nationally and internationally and the law firms involved who spearheaded the crime[9], mainly Proskauer Rose, LLP and Foley and Lardner LLP, should be a stark and clear message to your Administration as to the breadth and scope of Economic implications created by this ongoing RICO conspiracy fundamentally impacting day to day commerce, company trading and mergers, rightful owners and holders of contracts and agreements, and directly impacting the daily choices of billions of consumers worldwide in the internet and related markets. In fact, the largest owner of the Iviewit companies stock is the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) through SBIC loans to one of the lead investors, Crossbow Ventures of West Palm Beach Florida, making the government one of the largest interest holders in the Intellectual Properties and shareholders of the Iviewit companies.
Since the thefts and conspiracies involved herein directly implicate the true owners and holders of Patent rights under Article I, this urgent matter must be addressed by the full force and powers of the Office of the US President to fundamentally protect and uphold the US Constitution in general but specifically including free trade and commerce and Patent law under Article I.
It is noted that but one example of the continuing violations of fundamental due process within both state and federal justice systems is that I, Eliot Bernstein, as the original Inventor and Owner of the “Technology” have Never been permitted an opportunity to Testify and provide evidence or proof in one single proceeding in any state or federal court neither with respect to the “Technology” or the varying ongoing crimes committed during this period including but not limited to the Iraqi car bombing of my family’s Mini-van nor any matter relating to the theft and wrongful misappropriation of the technology and the resulting royalties and license agreements in wrong parties.
Remarkably, such fundamental due process denial continues despite the fact that since day one in 1998 I have remained armed with an Arsenal of legal weaponry by way of the hundreds of signed agreements as well as massive evidence that shows the crimes against the United States and many witnesses to the true and correct history regarding the inventions. Incredible and illegal efforts to block my due process rights have occurred at almost every venue relief has been sought to preclude me from the courtroom, which is ironic when I sue several thousands lawyers globally, several states supreme court justices, three state bar agencies, multiple disciplinary agencies, etc.
Present and Immediate Threats to the Administration of Justice under the Law
The most imminent and pressing reasons for currently seeking the active involvement of the Office of the US President relates to my recent application made to the United States Court of Appeals of the US Second Circuit specifically seeking an Extension of Time to submit and perfect an Appeal in my federal Rico and 42 USC 1983 and related Complaint filed in the Southern District Court specifically in order for the “new” “United States” which officially came about upon your Inauguration as the 44th President to officially intervene and appear in the federal case currently at the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
A copy of my extension motion[10] referenced herein and respectfully you will note that I specifically referenced that there was a “new” “United States” ( or new administration therein ) under Law as the “United States” had Not officially appeared or intervened in the federal action under your predecessor in Office George W. Bush.
As you will note, I specifically requested this relief from the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals and specifically asked the US Second Circuit to take all appropriate steps to seek involvement of the “United States” and NOTIFY your recently confirmed United States Attorney General Eric Holder and the Solicitor General of the US Dept. of Justice of the ongoing actions in this SDNY federal RICO complaint and specifically seek the Active intervention of the US Attorney General and Solicitor General and all other appropriate offices of the US DOJ to formally Appear and Intervene on behalf of the “United States” as contemplated under Federal Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
In what is viewed as a direct threat to the “United States” and Article I of the US Constitution and the integrity of the US Patent Office and more, a “conflicted” and named Defendant in my federal complaint by way of one Catherine O’Hagen Wolfe (“Wolfe”) who is presently a Clerk at the US Second Circuit was the “conflicted” party at the US Second Circuit on behalf of US Judge Ralph Winters who quickly denied my Extension[11] request WITHOUT ever Notifying US Attorney General Holder, nor any official of the “United States” and simply thrust upon me a short timeframe to submit an Appeal when in fact I have provided ample medical proof of serious medical conditions which prevent me from properly submitting an Appeal in such a short timeframe which does not even consider that I should not be in a position to alone be acting for the interests of “United States”.
Wolfe is directly conflicted as being a Necessary Witness in future proceedings as it was Wolfe herself who helped Uncover widespread corruption and conflict while she worked at the NYS First Department by way of the conflicts of Steven C. Krane former President of the New York State Bar Association of Proskauer Rose LLP who simultaneously represented Proskauer while having an Official capacity at the Supreme Court of New York Appellate Division First Department at the very Attorney Discipline Committee investigating. Interestingly, Wolfe obtained her current job at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals while complaints were proceeding from the state courts into the federal courts, placing her in unique position to have influence over the proper adjudications of my claims.
What makes this even more egregious and pressing for official involvement by the United States and the Office of President is that my case was marked “Related” by US SDNY Judge Scheindlin to an ongoing Whistleblower case coming out of the NYS First Dept. DDC involving Whistleblower Christine Anderson who names my companies in her lawsuit where reports have emerged of Death Threats being investigated by the FBI and yet in her “conflicted” actions in dismissing the “related” cases to the Anderson Whistleblower case Judge Scheindlin specifically suggested that the “Related” cases seek involvement of the appropriate US Attorney in these matters.
Thus, Second Circuit Judge Winters and Clerk O’Hagen Wolfe, despite this Specific referral by SDNY Judge Scheindlin to an appropriate US Attorney and my specific request for Intervention by the US DOJ in my extension request have disregarded all of this by the recent actions and I implore your Office that this is sufficient to exercise any and all Executive Powers to Stay matters in this Appeal and/or utilize any and all Executive Powers to seek Formal investigation concerning why Second Circuit Judge Winters and a “conflicted” Clerk of the Federal Court would Not even bother to seek involvement of the United States in such a landmark case with ongoing crimes and related actions.
Therefore, I respectfully seek the involvement of the Office of the President in these matters through all appropriate powers including the initiation of investigations, referring the matter to the US Attorney General Eric Holder for official involvement of the United States, and further in exercising any and all appropriate powers of the Office of President and US Attorney General and Executive federal agencies to seek appropriate Congressional legislation per the recommendation of Moatz and any other and further appropriate action herein.
Please feel free to directly contact me or have one of your trusted advisors contact me for any further information you may need in determining your executive powers to ensure free commerce and due process. I am at your service personally if necessary at your convenience in any way to serve my country alongside your administration in restoring our country. In fact, this could be a defining case of your legacy and fulfill your promise to the American People to restore Truth, Justice and the American Way to the Country, the system of Jurisprudence and the financial markets.
Both Respectfully and Regretfully Yours,

Staff Attorney’s $10 Million Lawsuit Proceeds Against Discipline Committee The New York Law Journal by Daniel Wise – April 30, 2009
An attorney who was fired after working six years as a staff lawyer at the 1st Department’s disciplinary committee may proceed with a $10 million damage lawsuit that she was discharged in retaliation for claiming her superiors were “whitewashing” cases, a Southern District of New York judge ruled Monday. However, the judge, Shira A.

Anderson contended that her June 2007 firing was in retaliation for complaints she made to her superiors at the disciplinary committee that at least nine cases had been handled too leniently because the lawyers being investigated were politically connected or were represented by attorneys who had previously worked for the committee (NYLJ, Oct. 30, 2007). Anderson, who was born in Jamaica, also claimed the committee had discriminated against her on the basis of race, color and national origin.
The disciplinary committee operates under the aegis of the Appellate Division, First Department, and Anderson sued the OCA; Thomas J. Cahill, the committee’s chief counsel during the years Anderson was employed there; Sherry K. Cohen, who became deputy chief counsel and Anderson’s supervisor in 2003; and David Spokoney, the 1st Department’s deputy clerk. With the exception of Cahill, who resigned in 2007 after 10 years in the post (NYLJ, July 23, 2007), the other individual defendants remain at their jobs. The 1st Department’s disciplinary committee polices the conduct of attorneys practicing in Manhattan and the Bronx.
In allowing Anderson to proceed with her retaliation claim, Scheindlin found that her contention that the committee had “whitewashed” as many as nine cases touched upon a subject of public concern and was protected under the First Amendment. A jury will have to determine whether the defendants fired Anderson because of the concerns she raised or because she had been insubordinate, as the defendants contend, Justice Scheindlin concluded in Anderson v. State of New York, 07 Civ. 9599. Scheindlin noted that Anderson in a “host” of e-mails had made “evident” her “hostility toward” and “refusal to cooperate” with Cohen, her supervisor. Nonetheless, Scheindlin ruled that “a reasonable jury could find that the defendants refused to remove Cohen as Anderson’s supervisor so they could use Anderson’s inevitable resistance to Cohen’s continuing supervision as a pretext for firing her.”
PRECEDENT DISTINGUISHED
In concluding that Anderson’s complaints touch upon matters of public concern, Scheindlin rejected OCA’s argument that Garcetti v. Ceballos, 547 U.S. 410, a 2006 U.S. Supreme Court precedent, was controlling. The attorney general’s office, which represented OCA and the individual defendants, contended that Anderson’s First Amendment claim must be rejected under the authority of Garcetti. The Supreme Court rejected a First Amendment retaliation claim brought by a deputy district attorney who claimed he was fired because he recommended the dismissal of a case. The prosecutor had urged dismissal because a flawed affidavit was used to obtain a search warrant. Rather than raising an issue of public concern, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote in a 5-4 ruling in Garcetti that the prosecutor was acting as a public employee with regard to an internal matter when he “fulfill[ed] a responsibility to advise his supervisor about how best to proceed with a pending case.” Scheindlin found Anderson’s case to be “patently distinguishable” from Garcetti. ”The prosecutor in Garcetti spoke about a single case pending in his office,” she wrote, while “Ms. Anderson spoke out about systemic problems at the [disciplinary committee], thereby making her speech protected.” ”Where a public employee’s speech concerns a government agency’s breach of trust, as it does here,” she wrote, “the speech relates to more than a mere personal grievance and therefore falls outside Garcetti’s restrictions.”
DISCRIMINATION CLAIMS FAIL
Scheindlin found that none of the three remarks that Anderson alleged Cohen made had any bearing on her bias claims. One alleged remark — that the homeless are “smelly” — did not reflect upon a group protected by federal civil rights laws, the judge ruled. The other two alleged comments — that there are too many blacks in the subway and blacks were moving near Cohen’s vacation home — were not “directed” at Anderson, “unrelated to her discharge” and allegedly uttered about one year before her firing, Scheindlin wrote.
Anderson also presented deposition testimony from three present or former minority employees who had expressed views that Cohen was biased. Two of those witnesses, one of whom was a lawyer, expressed views that reflected subjective beliefs that are “devoid of any factual circumstances linking Cohen to any discriminatory conduct,” Scheindlin found. The testimony of the third minority witness, Kenneth Van Lew, an investigator who left the office at the time of his deposition, provided “concrete instances in which he believes he was treated less favorably by Cohen than similarly situated Caucasian employees,” Scheindlin wrote. But even though Van Lew’s testimony provided “some credible evidence” of discrimination, the bias-based claims had to be dismissed, Scheindlin concluded, because “there is simply no evidence” that any alleged bias had tainted the decision of the ultimate deciding authority, the 1st Department’s justices serving upon the court’s Departmental Disciplinary Liaison Committee. The state defendants were represented by Assistant Attorneys General Lee A. Alderstein and Wesley E. Bauman. The attorney general’s office did not respond to a request for comment. Anderson was represented by John A. Beranbaum of Beranbaum Menken Ben-Asher & Bierman.
ATF does not fool around someone should have been arested imidiatly for something like that.
When the mob has done things like that the govt was quick to find out who did it and prosecute.
People should have already bennsent to jail. I think the Senators should have already done something about this beside taking campaign donations from law firms.
