San Diego Superior Court Judge Karen Riley Worst judge in history of judgement case listening or "judging" San Diego California

...to aggravate the owner of the house at 5675 Bellevue Ave La Jolla CA by teaching the current tenant Gregg T, Holdgrafer , Regional Manager at Guardian Insurance, 7676 Hazard Center Drive , San Diego , CA 92108 how he too can make money off the landlord/owner of the Bellevue home by falsifying receipts, escalating & duplicating costs on the receipts submitted to the court. The San Diego Court does not seem to care much that these tenants, and I'm sure many others across the United States, are falsifying documents to make money from the landlords. Since insurance companies are involved in this "Hooker Knock-Off" case, the court seems to default that the insurance companies should just pay out whatever amount the tenants submit, even if the receipts are fake or changed.

This does not seem like "Justice" to me...more like the easy way out for any judge to take. Unfortunately, it's being abused and hurting those trying to get ahead in life and secure a retirement fund of any sort. I guess this is where I say..."if that's the case, I want to be taken care of by the government too" and become a bum on welfare or disability or what ever assisted programs will take care of me.

I received this letter in the mail from the San Diego Superior Court in San Diego County from Judge Karen Rileys office.

Dated: August 4th 2008

REF: Hooker v. Mandernack, San Diego Superior Court Case Nos, 37-2007-00015698, 27-2007-00012229

Dear Mr Hooker:

Your letter dated July 7, 2008, addressed to the Honorable Karen A. Riley, Commissioner ("Commissioner Riley"), of the Superior Court of California , County of San Diego ("San Diego Superior Court"), has been referred to this office for action. Please be advised that judicial officers may not accept ex parte communications. As such, no action will be taken in the small claims cases referenced above.

Our office takes note of the false, scurrilous remarks concerning Commissioner Riley and the San Diego Superior Court on the referenced website (rip-off report)

Thank you for bringing this to the Courts attention.

Sincerely,
THE OFFICE OF THE COURT COUNSEL



My last comments on this whole scurrilous and illegally contrived judgment that KELLOGG & his daugter Alyson HOOKER made up and presented to the court 6 months after the daughter moved out of my house (The father only co-signed the 6 month lease for Alyson) and allowed to be passed through our court system, with the help of Judge Karen Riley is that these people stink! Get real jobs and stop ripping people off. Joe Pace of Pace Birdrock Realty in La Jolla , my real estate agent that i used to help fill my rental vacancy mentioned that Kellogg Hooker has done this before. Thanks Joe for giving me this huge problem. Did you get a cut somewhere too of the money this leach is stealing from me? Is it worth it?

If you disagree with a decision against you in Small Claims Division of the Superior Court, you have the right to appeal that decision. You can search for San Diego Small Claims Court and you will find the website giving you this information. It appears that it will cost you around $100 (perhaps more if service is required for a summons) to file this appeal. It is very important to note that on appeal, EITHER party MAY be represented by an attorney, this is a fairly significant change from the original case.
============
From the SD Courts website in regards to appeal:

* Only the defendant, or plaintiff on a defendant's claim, has a right to appeal. The appeal must be filed within 30 days from the date of the mailing of the entry of judgment. An appeal is a new hearing that includes the claims of all parties to the case. To file an appeal, fill out the NOTICE OF APPEAL form and pay the correct fees. The appeal will be scheduled and all parties will be notified by mail of the appeal hearing date.
* A small claims appeal is called a TRIAL DE NOVO. A de novo hearing means the appeal court will hear the case without regard to what happened at the first hearing. An attorney may represent any party at the appeal hearing. Judgment on appeal is final.
============

You should work with a friend or someone to help get your facts organized and clearly written. (While I'm sure that you were not looking to present your post on this website to a court, your posting has room to be more clear). I think you should be very cautious of making "rude" comments about the judge, or anyone else, such as you do in your posting here. Not that I know of any "legal" issue with it, you simply want to maintain a high level of credibility, and making rude comments will not accomplish that.

The Small Claims Division has legal advice available, I believe at no cost. I think you will get better service if you go into the Kearney Mesa offices to use this service, but they may be able to help by phone. Check the Courts website for info.

As you should have learned prior to going into court initially, you must have a copy of everything that you plan to present as evidence to give to the judge. You will want to have copies to present at an appeal as well. Read-up thoroughly on the process at the Courts website. There is a process that WILL be followed. For the most part, even in small claims, you don't get to simply speak up at any moment that you wish. You need to be familiar with how the process works and there is a lot of information on the Internet that deals with it.

Hope this helps some.
