(EXHIBIT #1), reinstate the appeal, and reopen the case USCA No. 20-1407, which
was dismissed by the Court’s error in claiming that the Case lacks a subject matter
Mobley Li v. Comm’r of Internal Revenue, 22 F.4th 1014 (D.C. Cir. 2022), see
Court ruled for the dismissal of this appeal for a lack of subject matter jurisdiction
under 26 U.S.C. § 7623(b)(4) and remanded it to the Tax Court with instructions to do
the same. The Court dismissed the Li appeal due to a lack of jurisdiction after
reviewing the Cooper v. Comm’r, T.C. Memo. 2015-72 (U.S.T.C. Apr. 8, 2015),
concluded that Cooper and Lacey were wrongly decided by the Tax Court, which
whistleblower award requests; thus, the Li case decided the fate of the Waszczuk
appeal from the June 4, 2020 U.S. Tax Court decision, which granted the IRS

PROCEDURAL AND FACTUAL HISTORY OF THE CASE JAROSLAW
WASZCZUK V. COMMISSIONER OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE,
CASE NO . USCA NO. 20-1407
On March 23, 2016, Petitioner submitted his initial claim (No. 2016007481) for
award (IRS Form 2011) to the Whistleblower-ICE Office (WBO-ICE) in Ogden, Utah,
alleging that his former employer, the University of California’s UC Davis Medical
in equaling millions of dollars due to the illegal generation and sale of electrical
energy. This was done in conspiracy with State of California government officials or
Independent System Operator (CAISO), and the California Power Exchange (Cal-PX),
thus violating the Provisions of Section 501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954.

On August 3, 2018, Waszczuk submitted his update of the 2016 claim to the IRS
WBO. This update, instead of being included or combined with the March 23, 2016

EVASION AND FRAUD . In his petition, Waszczuk pointed out that he strongly
disagreed with the WBO in Ogden, Utah and that nothing was speculative in his claim.
Waszczuk was a direct witness to the unlawful generation and sale of electricity and
the millions of dollars’ worth of related tax evasion committed by the UC Regents
between June 1999 and 2012 by the unlawfully operated 27-MW cogeneration power
plant, which was built for the sole purpose of illegally selling power for millions of
dollars in tax-free profit. Waszczuk backed his claim with documents he discovered in
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and other sources, including direct copies
4
of reports on the unlawful power generation and sale by the UCDMC’s cogeneration
1954, in addition to violations of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978
(PURPA) and the requirements set in 18 C.F.R. for efficiency and the use of energy
output. The plant was also falsely certified as a Qualified Facility (QF), pursuant to 18

ARGUMENT
As Waszczuk pointed out to the Court in his briefs and pleadings, this case
was dismissed based on a misleading and deceptive amicus curiae brief filed on
September 1, 2021 by Manhas and Loeb, who were serving as amicus curiae. The
brief was nothing but interference and meddling in the judicial process, which led
to the January 11, 2022 issuance by the Court an opinion in Mandy Mobley Li v.
Comm’r of Internal Revenue, 22 F.4th 1014 (D.C. Cir. 2022) that never should
have been issued and which caused the blunt dismissal under false pretenses of
10
Waszczuk’s Case, 20-1407, was dismissed when the two USCA appeals were
pending with same subject matter jurisdiction as Waszczuk’s case under 26 U.S.C.
§ 7623(b)(4). Waszczuk was consequently urging and begging the Court in his June
his June 12, 2020 PETITION FOR REHEARING en banc and MOTION TO STAY
MANDATE filed on September 5, 2022 not to dismiss his appeal and to place it in
abeyance until Lissack v. Comm’r of Internal Revenue, No. 21-1268 and Villa-Arce
B. Lissack v. Comm’r of Internal Revenue, No. 21-1268 (D.C. Cir. May 26,
2023) and Villa-Arce v. Comm’r of Internal Revenue, No. 22-1006 (D.C.
Cir. May 26, 2023), issued on May 26, 2023
2022), in the Lissack v. Comm’r of Internal Revenue, No. 21-1268 (D.C. Cir. May
26, 2023) opinion, the Court ruled in Discussion “A. The Tax Court had
jurisdiction” that U.S. Tax Court had and has the power to review appeals of WBO
decisions by de novo jurisdiction over the subject matter jurisdiction under 26 U.S.C.
11
§ 7623(b)(4), or in general 26 U.S.C. § 7623. The Court basically ruled that the
amicus curiae brief filed on September 1, 2021 by Manhas and Loeb and Li v.
Comm’r of Internal Revenue, 22 F.4th 1014, 1017 (D.C. Cii. 2022) were frauds
created for the sole purpose of dismissing Waszczuk’s case, which has merits quite
different the Li, Lissack, and Villa-Arce cases. Waszczuk’s case is about an
with a $40 billion annual budget, the University of California (The Regents), acting
in conspiracy and collaboration with SMUD and CAISO. Further, they disregarded
and violated the university’s tax-exempt status under IRC 501(c)(3) and the State of
California Taxation Code. The Regents, since 1998, have violated every possible
state and federal law applicable to the operation of the cogeneration plant facilities,
§§292.203(b) and 292.205 for the operation, efficiency, and use of energy output,
Federal Power Act, 16 U.S.C. §824d(a); the California Public Utilities Code
Section 218.5; the Unfair Competition Law of California; and Business and
12
The First most important reason why the Court shall and must recall the
mandate and reinstate Waszczuk’s appeal are the opinions in Lissack v. Comm’r
of Internal Revenue, No. 21-1268 (D.C. Cir. May 26, 2023) and Villa-Arce v.
Comm’r of Internal Revenue, No. 22-1006 (D.C. Cir. May 26, 2023), issued on May
26, 2023.
Both opinions affirmed that the U.S. Tax Court had and has jurisdiction to
In Sargent v. Columbia Forest Products, Inc., 75 F.3d 86 (2d Cir. 1996) the
Court held:
1989), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 1076 (1990); Zipfel, 861 F.2d at 567-
68; Davis v. Lawrence-Cedarhurst Bank, 206 F.2d 388, 389 (2d
Cir.), cert. denied, 346 U.S. 877 (1953).
In this case the law did not change . Only Amicus Curiae Brief Attorneys from
Orick’s wanted to change law because the Orick law firm notoriously represents
. Waszczuk is curious how much The Regents paid to these two Amicus Curiae brief
attorneys Robbie Manhas and Robert M. Loeb for their criminal misconduct to
The Second most important reason why the Court shall and must recall the
mandate and reinstate Waszczuk’s appeal is that the June 4, 2020 U.S. Tax Court
decision that granted the IRS Commissioner’s Motion for Summary Judgment in
Waszczuk v. Comm’r, T.C. Memo. 2020-75 (U.S.T.C. June 4, 2020) was issued
under false pretenses and for the wrong reason, so it must be reviewed without bias
and prejudice against Waszczuk by the U.S.C.A, as any other appeal in U.S. Tax
Court would be. As Waszczuk explained to the Court in his pleadings, the Court
exploited the completely irrelevant to the reported tax evasion and fraud the
University of California with the phrase “Unrelated Bussiness Income” (see pp. 2,
14
Decision, filed on June 29, 2020, he addressed more specifically the University of
court in its decision. It was similar to the conduct of Loeb and Manhas, in their
The Third most important reason why the Court shall and must recall the
mandate and reinstate Waszczuk’s appeal is that the WBO kept Waszczuk’s
whistleblower case for over two years, hidden and swept under the rug because the
Judith Boyette, was appointed Secretary of the Treasury to a three-year term, from
boyette to serve on the IRS Advisory Committee on Tax Exempt and Government
15
Entities (TEGE), and she made sure that Waszczuk’s whistleblower claim would not
surface. When it did surface after two 2 years and 5 months, it was instantly denied
without any review. The Commissioner’s attorneys were perfectly aware of and this
the U.S. Attorney General’s attorneys from the Tax Division and the two amicus
curiae brief attorneys knew how Waszczuk’s WBO claim had been handled and by
whom.
IV
CONCLUSION
In light of the provided facts and arguments outlined in the motion, and after viewing
the attached exhibits, the Court should grant Waszczuk’s motion to recall the
mandate and reinstate the appeal that was wrongfully dismissed with unprecedented
Not so long ago Waszczuk concluded as follow his Appellant’s Reply Brief filed
on March 22, 2023 in the State of California Court of Appeal, Third Appellate
District (3DCA) in the cross- connected wrongful termination case Waszczuk v. The
Brief-Waszczuk-v-The-Regents-of-The-University-of-California-3DCA-Case-No-
C095488
The mentioned cross connected case is pending for 10 years and Waszczuk is not
the one who committed the crime by evading taxes. Waszczuk is a victim in this case
who got caught in the white-collar criminal’s crossfire who were fighting for
millions of tax free dollars. The Court should take this fact into consideration.
