Washington State:
Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Office needed a little boost helping protect the Racketeering Enterprise, so what did the Washington State Supreme Court Clerk do?
According to public records, Washington State Supreme Court clerk picked up the phone, made and gave free legal exparte contact with Snohomish County Prosecutor’s Public Records Clerk Caroline Darrow ( who was caught via public records helping Sister Sara Di Vittorio help hide public records involving Snohomish County Executive Officer Brian Lewis hide public records the Gold Bar Reporter requested.
The officer who blew the whistle, Pam, was threatened by Prosecutor Sara Di Vittorio and later fired for blowing the whistle on Brian Lewis and Sister Sara Di Vittorio’s criminal racketeering conduct. Both Sister Sara and Brian Lewis are being sued RICO and 1983 offenses in US Federal Court, with depositions expected this summer.
Until then, the Gold Bar Reporter continues to request access to public records from the County and just learned today that not only is US Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones and Chief Judge Ricardo Martinez helping the Enterprise with free exparte legal advice, but so is the Washington State Supreme Court.

In late 2017, Snohomish County released public records documenting US Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones was also giving exparte legal advice to Snohomish County Prosecutors’ Office on how to get legal fees in Block v Snohomish County et al.
The article as published on the Gold Bar Reporter, dated November 30, 2017:
Western Washington U.S. Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones pulls one for the team
Judge Richard Jones Judge Jones’s law clerk, Juanita Clemente
More evidence of why Judge Richard Jones, a Washington State Bar member is bias and should be removed from hearing any cases involving his agency colleagues and friends ( the team)
After the Everett Washington Daily Herald caught Snohomish County executive employees Kevin Thomas Hulten, John Pennington, Christopher Schwarzen, Executive Aaron Reardon and Jon Rudicil criminally harassing and cyber-stalking Gold Bar Reporter Anne Block, right from Snohomish County Offices, Executive Aaron Reardon was forced to resign in disgrace.
Kevin Hulten plead guilty to evidence tampering only because Block had placed a litigation hold against Kevin Hulten and Snohomish County ordering the county and its employees to preserve all records in native format. But instead, Kevin Hulten two weeks after receiving Block’s litigation hold intentionally destroyed files between Kevin Hulten, John Pennington, and Gold Bar’s Mayors Joe Beavers ( convicted assault, Texas) and Crystal Hill ( nee Berg, convicted of bank fraud, 2000, 2005).
Kevin Hulten was recently caught on camera and charged with stealing from two stores in Colville Washington, and a source from Colville County recently told the Gold Bar Reporter ” His lawyer has been trying to get the Prosecutor to agree to a diversion program because Kevin Hulten’s is a drug addict.”
John Pennington, Jon Rudicil, and Christopher Schwarzen were all terminated after public records reveal Snohomish County government was also cyber-stalking their opponents an anonymous website titled ” The Sky Valley Chronicle.”
In the case of John Pennington, county public records also document that he spent most of his time trying to “hack” into the Gold Bar Reporter.
Judge Richard Jones and his law clerk Juanita Clemente, Exparte Legal Advice Exposed, Pursuant to RCW 42.56
In February 2014, the Gold Bar Reporter had enough; she filed Racketeering and 1983 (civil rights) suit in US Federal District Court. Assigned to Block v. Snohomish County et al was Western Washington Judge Richard Jones.
Imagine this. Two local news reporter exposes Snohomish County Executive Officers criminally cyber-stalking you, forcing you to file a suit seeking damages. Instead of having an honest judge, a dishonest judge is assigned who not only dismisses your suit ( that was already proven by two news reporters), issues a personal statement of bias against you inside his bias one-sided orders, and then assist the county and its agency officers with trying to SLAPP down your message by hitting you with attorney fees, remembering that the Everett Herald already exposed the County and its officials for gross civil rights violations.
Welcome to Washington State, where there is no difference between the Judge and the Agency, thanks to Association of Washington Cities (AWC) committing Sherman Anti-Trust and RICO violations against any citizen who dares to challenge an agency. An agency that Judge Richard Jones himself was a part as a Washington State Attorney General.
Once Judge Richard Jones learned by Block’s court pleadings that the Gold Bar Reporter had emails between the Washington State Bar Association lead counsel Linda Eide and John Pennington documenting a very very personal relationship existed, Sean Reay and Terrie Lawrie came up with a plan to file a false declaration with the court claiming that the Gold Bar Reporter had threatened Reay. When in fact, there was another witness present who saw no such threats nor any interaction between Reay and Block.
Judge Jones got what he needed to allege ‘litigation is spiraling out of control ” closed out Block from adding additional defendants, also known to Judge Jones as the Washington State Bar Association, which included his good friend Linda Eide and Doug Ende at the Washington Bar ( an association that he benefited from by receiving endorsements).
Adding more evidence to judicial misconduct, last week Snohomish County turned over public emails from Judge Richard Jones documenting that Judge Jones and his law clerk
Juantia Clemente gave Sean Reay and Snohomish County a little exparte legal advice
EXPARTE LEGAL ADVICE, CANNON RULES VIOALTED
According to the American Bar Association:
The prohibitions on ex parte communications apply both to judges and lawyers alike. From the perspective of judges, Rule 3B(7) of the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct (MCJC) provides generally that, except as authorized by law, judges may “neither initiate nor consider ex parte or other communications . . . concerning a pending or impending proceeding.” The MCJC, however, provides for certain exceptions. Judges are permitted to engage in ex parte communications for scheduling, administrative purposes, or emergencies, but only if they do not deal with substantive matters, do not confer “a substantive or tactical” advantage on any party, and are promptly communicated to absent parties, who are to be afforded an opportunity to respond. A judge may also confer ex parte in order to settle or mediate a case-but only with the consent of the parties.
Parallel rules of professional conduct likewise long have forbidden lawyers to engage in ex parte communications. Rule 3.5(b) of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct states that “[a] lawyer shall not . . . communicate ex parte with [a judge] except as permitted by law.” The comment to Rule 3.5 makes clear that the rule broadly incorporates by reference the proscriptions of the MCJC. The prohibition applies to clients or other intermediaries acting at the suggestion or direction of a lawyer, and to ex parte contacts not only with judges but also with “hearing officers, court clerks exercising important discretionary functions, and similar officers.”
Judge Richard Jones and his law clerk Juanita Clemente apparently didn’t believe the County government and its employees, like Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay, didn’t have enough financial and government resources or hutzpah to defeat the Gold Bar Reporter Block on their own, Juanita Clemente and Judge Richard Jones pulled one for the Enterprise giving Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay free exparte legal advice at Block’s expense.
If Judge Richard Jones and his law clerk Juanita Clemente’s exparte legal advice wasn’t bad enough, when Block called the clerk asking for direction on a non-legal issue, Judge Richard Jones issued an ORDER THREATENING GOLD BAR REPORTER that if she contacted the Court again, he would send out the US Marshall.
Apparently to threaten Block who was contacting the court about a non-court document that was misfiled in PACER.
Judge Richard Jones’s Judge Richard Jones issued an ORDER THREATENING GOLD BAR REPORTER violated basic First Amendment rights of all U.S. Citizens. But in the scheme of where Judge Richard Jones came from, and why he decided to SLAPP down the Gold Bar Reporter’s civil rights suit ( which was basically handed to her by Everett Herald), one can assume that Judge Jones is not beholding to the Unites State Constitution, only his friends inside the Washington State Bar Association that managed to get him appointed.
Although this email was requested under RCW 42.56 in April 2016, Snohomish County Prosecutor and RICO Defendant and Snohomish County Prosecutor Sara DiVittorio (Above) illegally withheld this public email from the Gold Bar Reporter for over a year and stripped the metadata, thus committing more predicate acts in violation of RICO, 1983 and a felony in Washington State ( Injury to public record).
More Evidence of RICO, Snohomish County Sean Reay’s crimes against citizens
On a side note; Snohomish County Prosecutor Sean Reay threatened to have Gold Bar Reporter and another investigative journalist arrested in August 2017 after Snohomish County Superior Court issued a subpoena for the deposition of Snohomish County Prosecutors Mark Roe and Adam Cornell. This after public records revealed that Snohomish County created a secret agency titled “Dawson Place” to hide law enforcement investigations. Why, so Snohomish County could claim Dawson Place was a 501 (3)(c) and didn’t have to comply with RCW 42.56 (Public Records Act).
Welcome to Washington State, it’s a great place to raise children if you enjoy having judges, agency employees, lawyers trump up criminal charges on you, threaten and extort your livelihood, molest children, cyber-stalk you using foe online websites paid for with government monies, harm you financially, extort your professional licenses and withhold public records committing felonies to ensure convictions and violate your civil rights.
According to Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen’s opinion in Re; Discipline of Block, a missing page gets your appeal dismissed. No exceptions according to Justice Barbara Madsen. However, Snohomish County just got an exception from Justice Madsen’s clerk. The above email communication is more evidence of RICO conduct, but this time involving the Washington State Supreme Court.
As far as we know, the 9th Circuit Chief Justice Sidney Thomas has yet to take any official Judicial misconduct action against Seattle US Federal District Court Judge Richard Jones for clear judicial misconduct
Justice Sidney Thomas received a Writ of Mandamus in Block v WSBA et al in May 2017 and has sitting on it ever since.
A copy of Block’s Writ of Mandamus:
Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen failed constitutional law and ethics, remedial classes advised
WA Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen
On October 11, 2016, several citizens involved with the “Reformed Washington State Bar Association” protested the Washington State Legislature’s refusal to address the Washington State Bar’s racketeering offenses against Washingtonians.
Activists had three copies of the U.S Constitution, delivering one signed copy to Governor Jay Inslee, one copy to Attorney General Bob Ferguson, and one copy to Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen with the following words ” a gift for you, because its clear you lost your copy!”
Today we are pleased to announce the public release of a Writ of Mandamus and proposal for a new lawsuit for racketeering and civil rights conspiracy.
In April 2016, Washington State Supreme Court Justice Barbara Madsen and former law clerk Ron Carpenter collectively conspired to destroy records at the Supreme Court. After Ron Carpenter was caught destroying records, he resigned and immediately left Washington State.
The complaint centers around public officials in Gold Bar, Snohomish County Washington, and the Washington State Bar Association conspiring to harm the Gold Bar Reporter’s news source because we exposed at least six of Washington State’s top corrupt officials including Aaron Reardon, Kevin Hulten, Jon Rudicil, Mark Roe, and John E Pennington.
The Writ of Mandamus was filed in United States District Court, 9th Circuit Court of Appeals remains ignored in violation of US Appeals Court Rules.
writ click to the left for a copy of Writ filed against Madsen.
The complaint documents the greatest assault on freedom of the press in the history of the United States.
Anne Block has achieved a degree of notoriety in Snohomish County as the only reporter in the state to break a story involving corruption at the highest levels of government in Snohomish county. Chief Executive Reardan was forced to resign after a story published in the Gold Bar Reporter revealed that Reardan used taxpayer funds to finance affairs with two women employees. According to the complaint, Anne Block even had receipts to show airline tickets purchases, hotel receipts and receipts for sex toys used in Europe during the affair.
According to the complaint, before Reardan resigned, he assigned two employees to organize a “false flag” operation against Block, by having the employees pose as disinterested observers with aliases to organize a campaign to disbar Block. He had another employee destroy county records to hide the affairs. That employee was eventually convicted of destroying evidence. As a result of the evidence being destroyed, an Island County prosecutor concluded that he did not have enough evidence to prosecute Reardan for misuse of public funds.
In enlisting support for the bar complaints, the false flag operation gained the support of two other Block targets. John Pennington had been attacked in the press by Anne Block and other newspapers such as the Seattle Times and the Everett Herald as being unqualified to hold the position of emergency operations director of Snohomish County. According to a study conducted by the IRS, John Pennington received his college degree from a diploma mill which sold the degrees at a flat rate. According to the RICO complaint, Block published stories how Reardan acted on Pennington’s advise in allowing houses to be built on the Oso mudslide site even though professional engineers described the site as unsafe. The mudslide that eventually occurred resulted in the deaths of 43 citizens.
John Pennington was terminated as result of his criminal conduct. Last week, the State of Washington had to pay out $60,000,000.00 ( yes Million) as a result of John Pennington’s criminal negligent conduct in the Oso mudslide .
John Pennington could not sue directly because he is a public official, so he turned to a personal friend at the Washington State Bar Linda Eide to have Block disbarred for reporting on John Pennington’s incompetence and police documented criminal activity.
The false flag operation also enlisted the support of public officials in Gold Bar Washington, Joe Beavers and Linda Loen, who had their own problems with Block. Block had initiated a public disclosure suits when the town officials refused to turn over documents related to the theft of the towns funds.
According to the complaint, town officials illegally diverted approximate 20% of the town’s budget to finance a campaign to discredit Block. This included planting defamatory and false information on an online BlogSpot the Penningtons helped set up in 2006 titled the Sky Valley Chronicle, to advocate residents physically assaulting, stalking, and intimidating Block supporters, and further assaulting and stalking two city council members until they resigned for supporting Block.
Members of the RICO enterprise even published verbal threats in local newspapers to murder Block if she showed up at City Council meetings.
According to Block, WSBA officials fixed the case against her by pre-selecting a hearing officer Lin O’Dell to guarantee conviction. Ms. O’Dell was caught using her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech to intidate ther elderly clients and was cited by Judge Monasmith in Stevens Court Superior Court for stealing from her client and breaching her ethical duties. Instead of getting disbarred for stealing from her client, O’Dell managed to get herself assigned to hear a non-client political appointee’s complaint against Block for her news reports with no client.
Public United States Post Office records confirm that Lin O’Dell and her convicted killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech set up a post office box three blocks from John Pennington’s home in Duvall Washington for purposes paying off Lin O’Dell to ensure a conviction against Block. O’Dell and Plivilech live in Cheney Washington, a four hour drive from Duvall to Cheney.
The Washington State Bar has no jurisdiction to regulate free press nor get involved with any issues of a personal nature. But Washington State Bar counsel and friend to John E Pennington Linda Eide violated Block’s civil rights and issued an illegal subpoena for Block’s Gold Bar Reporter files. Block told Linda Eide ” go get a subpoena! Media Shield and First Amendment protects news reporters and authors from turning over any file without a court order. Go pound sand!”
According to Block’s Writ of Mandamus, the WSBA chief hearing officer pre-selected a business associate, Lin O’Dell who had formed a partnership with a convicted killer Mark Plivilech ( Bar hearing officer Lin O’Dell’s partner of choice) to form a construction company that profited from the Oso building site.
Public emails sent from Lin O’Dell further documents that she used her killer boyfriend Mark Plivilech to intimidate vulnerable. Plivilech illegally used their social security information to gain access to their credit, and in several of O’Dell’s clients ( mainly elderly) Plivilech a convicted killer was managing O’Dell’s clients accounts.
According to the Washington State Attorney General a convicted killer is not allowed to have access to vulnerable adults. Background checks on Plivilech document that over ten of O’Dell’s elderly clients accounts were compromised by Mark Plivilech and attorney Lin O’Dell. Since Block broke this story, Plivilech has fled to the Placentia California area.
According to two witnesses, the hearing officer prevented Block from participating at her hearing by muting out the phone connection through which Block had appeared because of her hearing disability. Washington Bar records retrieved under the public records release also confirm O’Dell and Eide did this intentionally to prevent Block from participating in the hearing. Then, the hearing officer concluded that Block should be disbarred for not participating.
According to Block’s complaint, what happened to her is typical of the practices in violation of Sherman Anti-Trust and racketeering laws committed against its members by the Washington State Bar Association.
Since 1992, the Washington State Supreme Court has come under heavy criticism from the American Bar Association in three separate studies over 40 years for delegating its disciplinary activities to the WSBA, a practice the ABA likens to putting the fox in charge of the hen house.
According to the complaint, Washington is one of the few remaining states that put its bar association in charge of lawyer discipline, with the result that Washington has one of the lowest charging rates of attorney discipline in the nation. The complaint charges that attorney discipline is focused almost entirely on sole practitioners, minorities and enemies of the WSBA leadership. According to the complaint, 44% of all attorney discipline comes out of Snohomish County. Block charges the reason this occurs is that two WSBA officials in Snohomish County improperly use their influence to direct discipline toward their opponents. Block charges that these two officials improperly contacted the Gold Bar City Council, illegally provided them with confidential information, in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct and the rules regarding enforcement of lawyer discipline before there were any bar complaints even filed. The suit also accuses one official of filing anonymous complaints to conceal the fact that he is improperly influencing the cases.
As a result of the information contained in her complaint, Block is demanding a federal grand jury investigation concerning the misuse of public funds by her opponents and the denial of her civil rights.
Block will be in Olympia this session demanding that the Washington State Legislature “abolish” the corrupt Bar and place all disciplinary proceedings in the hands of ” we the people.”
Writ of Mandamus, 9th Circuit
During the late summer, the Connecticut State Bar and Vermont Bar Associations called the Gold Bar Reporter to let her know that John Pennington, Crystal Hill and Miquel Tempski ( Snohomish County Prosecutor) made phone calls misusing county resources to make false and derogatory statements to extort Block into not holding corrupt government officials accountable.
Michael Kennedy at the Vermont Bar will be added to the next racketeering suit after public emails between Snohomish County Prosecutors and the Vermont State Bar Associate Michael Kennedy document gross racketeering offenses, sent via wire from Vermont State Supreme Court in Burlington to Snohomish County Washington.
