LIST OF HEARING WITNESSES

By way of introduction, Barry thanks the commissioner for his willingness

to allow witnesses to testify. The witnesses collectively are the face of democracy.

They represent a true moral force. While this writer promises to focus on the facts

of her disbarment, still, we must never forget the law must have as its fundamental

tenets, fairness, justice, compassion, love, and good will for ourselves and all

others.

1. Ruth Hull, Attorney: Irreparable harm if Barry is disbarred. Hull

will testify that she is victim of domestic violence, that there is a dearth of

attorneys who provide zealous, competent, and ethical representation to domestic

violence victims and their children, and that if Barry is disbarred, her current as

well as many potential clients who are mothers and children will suffer irreparable

harm.

2. Kristin Hanson, client, 9th Circuit appeal on hold: She will testify to

the irrevocable harm she and her daughter will suffer if Barry is disbarred.

3. Elizabeth Chavira, client, 9th Circuit appeal dismissed: She will

testify to the irrevocable harm she and her daughters will suffer if Barry is

disbarred and Barry cannot attempt to reinstate her appeal.

4. Shelley Allison, client, 9th Circuit appeal dismissed: She will testify

1
 Case: 16-80180, 04/04/2017, ID: 10383816, DktEntry: 8, Page 3 of 12

to the irrevocable harm she and her daughters will suffer if Barry is disbarred and

Barry cannot attempt to reinstate her appeal. She will also testify to the name

calling and insults that the judges allowed opposing counsel to use against her and

Barry, and they did nothing to stop it.

5. Jamie Baddour, client, 9th Circuit appeal on hold: She will testify to

the irrevocable harm she will suffer if Barry is disbarred.

6. Francine McDermott, client, Central District lawsuit on hold: She

will testify to the irrevocable harm she and her disabled students (minors) will

suffer if Barry is disbarred, the long attorney client relationship she and Barry

have had.

7. Connie Valentine: founding CEO of Protective Parents Association.

Valentine has known Barry for probably 13 years, She has testified before the

Legislature and was instrumental in getting the Legislature to enact laws to protect

mothers and children. She can provide statistics as to the number of mothers and

children who have no attorneys to represent them, and that the family courts are in

crisis, often turning children over to their abusers which Barry tries to remedy.

8. Joe Sweeney: He was instrumental along with Kathleen Russell,

Center for Judicial Excellence, in persuading Assembly members to order the state

auditor to audit the Commission on Judicial Performance to learn why there are

2
 Case: 16-80180, 04/04/2017, ID: 10383816, DktEntry: 8, Page 4 of 12

few judges being disciplined; that within days of the Assembly ordering the audit

of the CJP, Judge Mills, Contra Costa Superior Court, found Sweeney in contempt

and sentenced him to 25 days in jail which he actually served; that he filed

complaints with the Bar against Opposing Attorneys and his ex wife who is an

attorney for, inter alia, presenting forged and false documents in Court, and the

Bar refused to discipline the attorneys. This goes to the issue of fundamental lack

of fairness inherent in the structure based on protection of bar Insiders and

hounding, harassment, and unfair discipline of Bar outsiders, disparate treatment

of attorneys by the Bar, and uneven discipline.

9. Craig Martin disbarred, we say (Barry and Martin) based on

concocted evidence designed to protect corrupt and unethical white male attorney

Michael Keck. When Martin, who is black, filed a complaint against bar judge

Lucy Armendariz with the CJP, he received two uninvited phone calls in both of

which he was called a nigger. Martin traced the calls to a private communication

company, ILD, which acknowledged in court papers it provided communications

service to the Bar. When Martin sued the Bar based on being called the N

word, Bar Attorney Danielle Lee filed an anti-SLAPP motion claiming that as long

as the racial epithet was uttered during an official proceeding, the government

could call him the epithet and be protected by the First Amendment. She

3
 Case: 16-80180, 04/04/2017, ID: 10383816, DktEntry: 8, Page 5 of 12

demanded attorney fees because Martin sued the bar for being called a nigger. Lee

also claimed in a demurrer Martins claim based on the racial epithets should be

dismissed because ...this country has long tolerated racist comments or

sentiments because they are protected by the First Amendment.[citation

omitted].

10. Susan Bassi: Bassi is engaged in family law litigation in Santa Clara

Superior Court. Bassi filed Bar complaint against Attorney Nathan Hales, jr. who

had failed to provide written disclosures of conflict of interest required by law

before he proceeded to serve as referee in her family law case. The Bar

acknowledged Hales failed to provide these written disclosures but only had him

enter into an agreement in lieu of discipline and take the Ethics School

Course. Despite this serious breach, Hales was given permission by the Court to

set his own fees and take those fees from Bassis accounts. He ended up awarding

himself $100,000 from Bassis account. The Bar refused to make Hales pay

restitution to Bassi. This goes to the issue of fundamental lack of fairness inherent

in the Bar structure based on protection of bar Insiders and hounding, harassment,

and unfair discipline of Bar outsiders, disparate treatment of attorneys in the Bar,

and uneven discipline.

REQUEST TO TAKE JUDICIAL NOTICE

Pursuant to Evid Rule 201, Respondent Barry requests that the Court take

judicial notice of the following documents:

1. Exh. 3, complaint filed in Central District of CA but dismissed for

failure to pay filing fee, Barry v. State Bar of CA, attached to Barrys
Motion to Vacate Default Disbarment filed in this Court on March 13,
2017.

 Case: 16-80180, 04/04/2017, ID: 10383816, DktEntry: 8, Page 11 of 12

Why Jerome Craig should never have been appointed by the Bar as Barrys

Special Prosecutor. and why his appointment was a denial of due process to

Barry.

2. Opinion, Vinson v. Taylor, 753 F.2d 141 (D.C. Cir. 1985) sub nomine
in Supreme court, Meritor, supra: Briefed and argued for Vinson.
Held: Reversed trial court. Evidence of harassment of other
employees by the perpetrator admissible to prove plaintiff's claim of
sexual harassment. Judge Bork writing for himself, and Judges Scalia
and Starr dissented to denial of Petition for Rehearing en banc at 760
F.2d 1330 (D.C.Cir. 1985).

3. Meritor Savings Bank v. Vinson, 477 U.S. 57 U.S. (1986). Argued for
Respondent Vinson. Held: (by Justice Rehnquist for an unanimous
court) sexual harassment, including both quid pro quo and
environmental harassment, is sexual discrimination under Title VII.

4. Opinion, Fisher v. San Pedro Peninsula Hospital (1989) 214

Cal.App.3d 590: Briefed and argued for Plaintiffs-Appellants. Held:
Employee stated claim for sexual harassment if witnessed other
women undergo harassment although not direct victim herself.

Why Barry did not file frivolous lawsuits and it was an abuse of discretion and an

ethical violation on the part of Bar Prosecutor Brandon Tady to pursue the Elwood

matter because he admitted Barry would probably prevail on the issue of whether

she knew that she was filing some frivolous causes of action when she filed the

Elwood federal lawsuits in 2002 and 2003.

5. Elwood v. Drescher, 456 F.3d 943 (9th Cir. 2006).

6. Humphries v. County of Los Angeles, 554 F.3d 1170 (9th Cir. 2009)

_(2010) No. 09350. (Monells policy or custom requirement
