I

IN SUPPORT OF MOTION TO INTEVENE AND RELATED PAPERS
·.. I
i (Dkt #39-47 under 10-56634)
I
i
-I TO THE COURT AND TO PARTIES: Intervenor Dr Joseph Zemik ("Zemik")

herein files his verified Reply in Support of his Motion to Intervene (Dkt #39-47

under 10-56634).

1. Zernik's Motion to Intervene reliably nformed the Court of

"unprofessional conduct" in litigation of Log Cabin Republicans v USA et

al in the US District Court.

The Motion to Intervene and related papers, listed as "filed" on January 7,

2011, (Dkt #39'-47 under 10-56634) requested the Court's leave to file, and

· ". ~ I pennission to intervene in instant appeals. The Motion and related papers also
·i
reliably infonned the Court of "unprofessional conduct" pertaining to litigation of

Log Cabin Republicans v USA et al (2:04-cv-08425) and Zernik v Connor et al


. '~ I (2:08-cv-01550) in the US District Court, Central District of California. In both
i
! cases Clerk of the US District Court refuses to certify the PACER dockets; in

Zernik v Connor et al only an invalid electronic certificate of authentication!

attestation (NEF - Notice of Electronic Filing) by the Clerk was discovered

pertaining to the Judgment; in Log Cabin Republicans v USA et al the clerk has

refused to produce the electronic certificate, in what the Court should deem

violation of First Amendment rights.

2/9
Case: 10-56634 01/27/2011 Page: 3 of 9 ID: 7629707 DktEntry: 55

2. Zernik sought the Court's remedies relative to uncertified Judgments

from uncertified dockets of the US District Court in both Log Cabin

Republicans v USA et al (2:04-cv-08425) and Zernik v Connor et al (2:08-cv-

01550)

Accordingly, Zernik asked the Court to initiate corrective actions, including, but not

limited to Mandates on the US District Court, as detailed in the filings (Dkt #39-47).

Zernik's interest in the case, as detailed in the Motion to Intervene and related papers,

originated in part from the similarly in facts and law between the two cases. Zemik

further claimed that rulings by the Court on the matters raised in the proposed

Intervention is likely to substantially impact on the Human, Constitutional, and Civil

Rights of all under the 9th Circuit, and beyond.

3. Log Cabin Republican's Response, opposing the Motion to Intervene,

lacks in substance.

The following arguments were discerned in the Log Cabin Republican's

Response in opposition to the Motion to Intervene, listed as filed on January 11,

2011 (Dkt #49 under 10-56634):

a. "Proposed Intervenor Zernik has no connection to this case nor any known

interest therein".

The claim lacks in foundation. It ignored the detailed arguments presented in

Zernik's Motion to Intervene pertaining to his interest in the case, and the legal

foundation for pennitting such intervention, including, but not limited to the

3/9
Case: 10-56634 01/27/2011 Page: 4 of 9 ID: 7629707 DktEntry: 55

similarity in facts and law relative to conduct of Log Cabin Republicans v USA
-i
et al and Zernik v Connor et al in the US District Court.
-I
I
b. "The motions and requests are incoherent and do not demonstrate good cause

to intervene".

The claim lacks in foundation. It should be deemed at best a handwaving

argument.

c. "Neither party has invited the participation of this individual in this case".

The response failed to provide any legal reference that intervention in the US

courts is by party's invitation only.

d. "[H]is intervention would not advance the resolution of the constitutional

issued presented".

Zernik argued that the Court should find itself lacking in jurisdiction in

conduct of an appeal from an uncertified judgment, and that the parties should

have no interest in conduct of an appeal from an uncertified judgment. It

remained incomprehensible how the Log Cabin Republicans propose to resolve

constitutional issues through the conduct of such appeal. On the contrary,

Zernik claimed that conduct of such appeal would inherently violate


;
i
,i constitutional principles, while addressing the matters inherent to the Motion to
i
I
-I Intervene and concomitantly filed Motions and Requests would substantially
I
-1
impact on the Human, Constitutional, and Civil Rights of all under the 9th
I
I Circuit and beyond.

4/9
Case: 10-56634 01/27/2011 Page: 5 of 9 ID: 7629707 DktEntry: 55

4. Log Cabin Republicans failed to produce the electronic certificate of


·'...1'
authentication/attestation (NEF - Notice of Electronic Filing) of the

October 2010 Judgment in their response.

As a CMlECF authorized party to the litigation in the US District Court,

counsel for the Log Cabin Republicans should have the NEF of the October 20 I 0

Judgment in their possession. Several requests were forwarded to counsel for the

Log Cabin Republicans in recent months to produce a copy of the Certificate. In

their Response, the Log Cabin Republicans failed to do the obvious - produce the

Certificate of the October 2010 Judgment. Neither did the Response provide any

explanation for the refusal to produce the Certificate.

5. Counsel for the USA did not oppose Zernik's Motion to Intervene.

The Court should note that counsel for the USA have not opposed Zemik's

Motion to Intervene, inherent to which is the Motion for a Declaratory Mandate:

Why the appeals from an uncertified judgment should not be dismissed for lack of

jurisdiction and/or mootness.

6. Clerk of the US District Court has not produced the Certificate since the
