Ms. Swan:

Valerie Swan hired me on or about September 26, 2014 for assistance in relation to an Order to Show Cause hearing for Contempt scheduled for December 5, 2014 in the Santa Clara Superior Court.  She initially told a very sketchy story about a surgery done on her in 2001, for which litigation was still ongoing, and now they were threatening to put her in jail for contempt.

After she hired me, I looked at the court docket online, and requested documentation from her, some of which she sent to me. 

I could see that she had (((REDACCTED))) on her leg in 2001, and she was eventually sued by the surgeon.

After the surgery, she became dissatisfied with what the doctor did, and she issued a series of threats to the surgeon that unless the doctor made a full refund to her of all the money paid to him, $12,737.00, Swan would disparage the surgeon by telling the story and by making it widely available on the internet.  The surgeon eventually gave in to her demands, and issued her a full refund, for which she signed a full release of claims on June 17, 2002 wherein among other things she promised to remove a disparaging internet post about the surgeon, and not make any more in the future.

She nevertheless in violation of that agreement afterwards repeatedly posted disparaging things about the doctor online, picketed his office with signs branding him a liar, mutilator, butcher, etc. 

By that time the doctor had enough, and sued her in 2003.  She sued him in response for medical malpractice.  The case went to trial, and the doctor won a permanent injunction against Swan on March 22, 2005 prohibiting her from making internet postings about the doctor; the malpractice case was dismissed.  The doctor voluntarily dismissed claims for fraud, defamation, and money damages against her, no doubt because he hoped she would just go away. 

She did not, and she ignored the Court’s permanent injunction, posting at least 15 more disparaging reports about the doctor online. 

The doctor applied to the Court to have her held in contempt. 

Ms. Swan appears to suffer from some type of e(((REDACTED))) and her solution to her contempt hearing was to want to subpoena telephone records between the judge and the doctor to prove they were “friends” and that her trial was somehow “fixed”.  Over and above the practical and legal problem with such a request, the concerns about paranoia, it made no sense, as even if it were true that the doctor and judge had a social relationship, it would not have any bearing on whether Swan was in contempt of the Superior Court’s Order by continuing to post disparaging things about the doctor on the internet.  I thought her plan would increase the chances of her going to jail.

The hearing had been adjourned several times, as I am sure nobody was very interested in seeing her go to jail, but nobody could seem to get through to her that she had to obey the Court.  I told her by telephone that I would help her prepare a Response she could take to the hearing with her, but 4 days before the hearing, she left a profanity-laced tirade message on my voicemail, which I did not return, and the hearing was adjourned again, and has been adjourned twice thereafter. 

She now has posted internet defamation about me, and I am not surprised.  It is what she does.  She called the police to get them involved, but I suspect they were able to see her modus operandi of doing things. 

I have prepared a bill for my time which reflects she owes me money; however, it is hardly worth the time to send it to her.
