U.S. COURT OF APPEAL, 9TH CIRCUIT YI TAI SHAO Appellant v. Judge Edward Davila, et al. Appellees
Case Number: 15-16817 3:14-cv-01912-WBS Declaration of Yi Tai Shao in support of Appellant’s Request to reverse the Judgment and to Amend the First Amended Complaint in her Opening Brief, and support of Motion for Judicial Notice supporting Appellant’s appeal pursuant to Rule 1006 of Federal Rules of Evidence
I, Yi Tai Shao declare: I am licensed to practice law in this Circuit since about 1996. I have personal knowledge of the facts stated herein. At the pleading stage, I believe the District Court erred in not presuming my pleading of conspiracy to be true. See P.7, Lines 17-20 where Judge Shubb stated on November 21, 2014: “What I’m asking you is: What do

you have in your Complaint beyond the bare allegations that these judges acted with malice or corruption or conspired with the opposing party?” There are new facts after the First Amended Complaint was filed and after the parties filed motion to dismiss which should justify reversal of the dismissal orders with leave to amend the First Amended Complaint. Pursuant to Rule 1006, I hereby provide a summary to this Circuit about the new facts that should justify reversal of the dismissal orders with leave to amend. When party relies on Rule 1006 summary to support its position on appeal, at least where appellate court exercises de novo review, appellate court similarly may examine actual documents and court will permit expanded appendix to permit their inclusion. Moench v. Robertson (3d Cir. N.J. 1995), 62 F3d 553, cert. denied, (U.S. 1996), 516 US 1115, 116 S Ct 917, 133 L Ed 2d 847, abrogated in part, Fifth Third Bancorp v. Dudenhoeffer (U.S. 2014), — US —, 134 S Ct 2459, 189 L Ed 2d 457, abrogated as stated in Whitley v. BP, P.L.C. (5th Cir. Tex. 2014), 575 Fed Appx 341. The court may reverse the judgment because the new facts are sufficiently put the mater in different respect. See, Kyle v. United States, 297 F.2d 507.

SCCSC has discriminately enforced against SHAO in a harassment measure trying to take SHAO’s bar license and driver’s license 4 times in a year even though the prevailing law disallowed suspending existing licensees’ license
28. Wang’s fraud in concealing his rental income was discovered but SCCSC covered Wang up and took off from calendar all of SHAO’s hearings against Wang since 2014 29. Based on McManis Faulkner’s vexatious litigant orders, SCCSC filed a request at the OAH to dismiss SHAO’s complaint after SHAO propounded a subpoena asking documents of their contacts with McManis Faulkner and with Wang. DCSS did not deny McManis Faulkner’s contacts with them on this support issue of the underlying family court proceeding. 30. In late October 2016, SHAO obtained discovery from Chicago Title Insurance of evidence of Appellee Wang’s fraud on concealing rental income of $4,900 a month at the time the support order of 5/3/2013 was made.

SCCSC has denied SHAO’s discovery over WANG since 2010. 31. On 11/23/2016, PJ Pichon at SCCSC unreasonably denied SHAO’s application for permission to file Request for Order to vacate 5/3/2013’s Order based on Wang’s perjured Income and Expense Declaration, without stating a reason; thus, SCCSC blocks entirely SHAO’s right to access to the court 32. PJ Rushing at Sixth Appellate District denied SHAO’s motion to reverse, remand with instruction to change place of trial re SHAO’s appeal from vexatious litigant order on 11/7/2016, and in the same afternoon 9th Circuit denied SHAO’s appeal from Judge Lucy Koh’ dismissing Shao v. McManis Faulkner,et al. with only 2 pages’ conclusive opinion without any discussion. 33. SCCSC and Sixth Appellate District jointly blocked SHAO’s access to the trial court and appellate court regarding Shao v. McManis Faulkner, et al. The jury trial was stayed indefinitely and the appeal was unable to proceed because SCCSC deterred records and transcripts from filing and PJ Rushing denied SHAO’s request to order court reporter to file transcript and to change designation of records to be by excerpts 34.

appeal from Judge Lucas’s Order for more than 2.5 years--- after dismissal out of March 14, 2016’s incident was unsuccessful 35. A reasonable person knowing all the facts will believe that McManis Faulkner has manipulated Judge Zaynor, Judge Lucas and Santa Clara County Superior Court in interfering SHAO’s life and liberty 36. Judge Zaynor’s cancelation of evidentiary hearing on 10/31/2011 was after the time SHAO made a prelawsuit demand over McManis Faulkner, without disclosing his conflicts of interests—relationship with interested third parties 37. Judge Lucas did not disclose her relationship with interested third parties

38. Justice Patricia BamattreManoukian denied SHAO’s Petitions for Writs of Habeas Corpus, and Petition for Writ of Mandate regarding Disqualification of Judge Zaynor, without disclosing her conflicts of interests 39. Based on exposure of the interested third parties’ manipulations of the courts to an extend to block SHAO’s fundamental rights to access the courts, a reasonable person knowing all of the facts may cast reasonable doubt that the person

Appellees jointly suppress Wang’s mental disorders to maintain parental deprival in order to help McManis Faulkner’s case 39.

Appellee Tsan-Kuen Wang has used one of his therapist Carole Tait-Starnes to be the minor’s therapist, who had, concealed WANG’s mental disease, became Wang’s spy of the minor, and to make false report to John Orlando. 41.
