TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN :

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that on October 28, 2008 , on behalf of Harold James Griffith, Jeanette M. Andrews, and Laurack D. Bray, two separate federal criminal Complaints were filed in the Office of the U.S. Attorney, Los Angeles, charging the following individuals with at least the following identified conduct or offenses:
1. Thomas P. O’Brien, U.S. Attorney, Los Angeles (and others)—making and/or using a false or fraudulent statement or document and obstruction of justice.
2. Molly C. Dwyer, Clerk, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals—making and/or using a false or fraudulent statement or document.
3. Harry Pregerson, 9th Circuit Judge, individually—obstruction of justice and making and/or using a false or fraudulent statement .
4. Harry Pregerson, M. Margaret McKeown, and N.R. Smith, all 9th Circuit Judges, as a panel—obstruction of justice and making and/or using a false statement or document.
This is and should be a public matter, but, it is up to the public and public agencies and the legal community to make sure that this matter is resolved publically, openly, and fairly to all. A first criminal complaint, although actions took place (e.g., the retirement of three judges, Ventura County judges Steven Hintz and Barry Klopfer and federal district court judge Terry Hatter, Jr., and the retirement or resignation of 9th Circuit clerk Cathy Catterson , after the Complaint was filed—but, none of the retirees was assigned a penalty for his or her actions or for the damage caused), was handled secretly, which is why you are probably not aware of it, which, in turn, precluded you from making your own informed determination of whether proper actions were taken or withheld.
The above circumstances, i.e., charges against a U.S. Attorney and his office, as well as the circumstances of the first Complaint (which is still pending), in our view, require the services of a private, independent and special prosecutor. But, it is clear that it will take the public and/or the legal community to demand such, if such is warranted, and to demand that the proceedings be open and fair, if this process or procedure (appointment of an independent prosecutor) is to occur.
