    “Chief Marshal Roper and Marshal Harley on setting the record straight in NG12-0435‏ From: Zach Coughlin (zachcoughlin@hotmail.com) Sent: Fri 11/23/12 4:09 PM To: roperj@reno.gov (roperj@reno.gov); harleyj@reno.gov (harleyj@reno.gov); je@eloreno.com (je@eloreno.com); skent@skentlaw.com (skent@skentlaw.com); cvellis@bhfs.com (cvellis@bhfs.com); eifert.nta@att.net (eifert.nta@att.net); nevtelassn@sbcglobal.net (nevtelassn@sbcglobal.net); patrickk@nvbar.org (patrickk@nvbar.org); christensend@reno.gov (christensend@reno.gov); mike@tahoelawyer.com (mike@tahoelawyer.com); davidc@nvbar.org (davidc@nvbar.org); fflaherty@dlpfd.com (fflaherty@dlpfd.com); fflaherty@dyerlawrence.com (fflaherty@dyerlawrence.com); stuttle@washoecounty.us (stuttle@washoecounty.us); wongd@reno.gov (wongd@reno.gov); ormaasa@reno.gov (ormaasa@reno.gov); mkandaras@da.washoecounty.us (mkandaras@da.washoecounty.us); zyoung@da.washoecounty.us (zyoung@da.washoecounty.us); bdogan@washoecounty.us (bdogan@washoecounty.us); jleslie@washoecounty.us (jleslie@washoecounty.us); holmesd@reno.gov (holmesd@reno.gov) Dear Panel, Judge Nash Holmes, Chief Roper, Marshal Harley, Bar Counsel, et al, I apologize for using email to communicate here, but my current indigency and time constraints so require it. Further, I in no way wish to violate any Orders by any of the RMC Judges respecting emailing or contacting the RMC in connection with specific cases, and submit this limited correspondence in the hopes that my interpretation of any such Orders is in line with reality and will forgive at least this limited use of email outside of any attempt to file anything in any of the matters in which I am a party before the RMC. The exigency involved here relates primarily to the enormous deference that will be given to the Panel's decision in the SBN v. Coughlin disciplinary matter, and my desire to have the Panel afforded every opportunity to have all essential information necessary to arrive at a just decision at its disposal. What follows is in part a request and in part a recognition of the extent to which Judge Nash Holmes's action during the 2/27/12 Trial in 11 TR 26800 may likely have been the best thing to have had done, owing to her vast experience in these and a great deal many other matters, and, hopefully, will have an upbeat result stemming therefrom. At the Double R Blvd. Northern Office of the State Bar of Nevada, RMC Judge Nash Holmes, on 11/14/12, testified under oath and indicated something along the lines of the following: During the 11 TR 26800 "simple traffic citation Trial" on 2/27/12, starting at about 3 pm, Judge Holmes interrogated Coughlin as various points throughout the Trial as to whether he was recording the proceedings (without permission), and or whether he had a "recording device" (whether every laptop anyone brings to Court would be considered a "recording device" to Judge Holmes is not exactly clear). Judge Holmes then testified that after an initial round of interrogation of Coughlin as to whether he was recording the proceedings and or had a "recording device" that Coughlin got "all sneakity" and said he was not, but then "quote, 'took the Fifth' then immediately asked to be allowed to use the restroom...and I ordered Marshal Joel Harley to accompany him there...and it was reported to me that while in the restroom Coughlin disassembled a recording device and hid some part of it in the restroom..." (Coughlin recounts this testimony from memory, and admittedly, it is far from verbatim). It is categorically false (though not necessarily maliciously so) for Judge Nash Holmes to assert, in the audio record on 3/12/12 the order of events and when she asked Coughlin her questions about recording, considering when a restroom break took place and exactly what it is she asked Coughlin and when, and what his responses were, and when some allegations by "the Marshal" were made, what they consisted of, etc.. on 3/12/12 in 11 tr 26800 the audi
