Governor Jerry Brown, Please  review this videos presented to Judge Martin J. Tangeman and talked about by Judge Martin J. Tangeman and the Second Appellate Court, showing California Government discharging debris into a California Storm Water Drainage channel!  Showing Caltrans grading and shoveling Debris into a California Storm water drainage channel!

 Oceano Community Service District Well # 8 January 13, 2007  This video presented to Superior Court Judge Martin J. Tangeman shows California Government flooding State Highway 1 in a non rain event
Governor Jerry Brown, Justices--Steven Z. Perren, Arthur Gilbert and Kenneth R. Yegan State in regards to these videos and photos:

"Bookout points to no findings of fact in his favor. Instead, he relies on over 500 photographs and videos showing the flooding, several hundred documents which he claims show each defendant exercised dominion and control over the drainage facilities, and the testimony of his expert engineer, Keith Crow. He believes the evidence against the defendants was overwhelming.

Bookout claims the evidence is credible because it is uncontradicted. He cites Joseph v. Drew (1950) 36 Cal.2d 575, 579, for the proposition that uncontradicted testimony of a witness may not be disregarded, but should be accepted as proof of the fact to which the witness testified. Indeed, there are no doubt cases where the uncontradicted testimony of a witness is so credible that no reasonable trier of fact could reject it. But this is not such a case.
Here there is an obvious cause of the flooding. The Exchange modified the drainage by constructing a junction box and pipeline that redirected the flow of water by 90 degrees."

Governor Jerry Brown, RE: Statute of Limitations and Prejudicial Error in regards to evidence withheld from discovery by the County of San Luis Obispo Molly Thurmond, Esq. (SBN 104973)Exhibit #579 (Appendix 15) Prejudicial Error or Not? Photo/Statement Documents withheld by County Of San Luis Obispo And Railroad at trial as allowed by Judge Tangeman, as Judge Tangeman Stated "All  Right" County of San Luis Obispo Causation in permits and drainage requirements on private property.  OCSD and Caltrans correcting 2002 drainage complaint problems in 2002/2003 as stated in exhibit #579 Complaint, Caltrans-McKinley Testomony P. 645 and (RA exhibit #1768) changing the Statute of Limitations!  Date of Stabilization! 
Caltrans January 4, 2007 Soveling Debris into the Oceano Communities Storm Water Drainage System   Governor Jerry Brown, this is the California Department of Transportation shoveling debris into a California Storm Water Drainage system and then a Caltrans Supervisor doing the same action as he testified at trial in front of San Luis Obispo Superior Court Judge Martin J. Tangeman!

Second Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Perren, Kenneth R. Yegan ...
Governor Jerry Brown,
The Second Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Perren, Kenneth R. Yegan and Arthur Gilbert do not believe as seen in the videos above, that the County, and Caltrans storm water from State Highway 1 --13th and Paso Robles Streets inside the Oceano Nursery property is the use of a "Public Enity Physically entered Bookout's land or maintained possession and control over any portion of it."  They Believe--"The Trial Court correctly concluded the three-year statute applies."  The Second Appellate Court States this even after seeing photos and videos and hearing Caltrans testomony of their shoveling and grading Caltrans storm water debris into the Oceano Community's storm water drainage channel! 

Governor Jerry Brown is it now legal in California for Caltrans to shovel and grade their debris into California storm water drainage systems as seen in these videos and photos?

The Second Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Perren, Arthur Gilbert and Kenneth R. Yegan do not mention--

Testimony of Caltrans in front of Judge Martin J. Tangeman- P. 1506 of the Court Transcript of Caltrans Supervisor Fred Brebes before their actions above!  Mr. Brebes States:  "Question: And did -- And did during this period of time, do you recall your maintenance crews working within the channel that leads from Highway 1 off of 13th Street?  Answer: Yes."  P. 1508 By Mr. Belsher:  So did your crews engage in this practice of using a loader to clean the channel that's depicted in that photograph, on more then one occasion?  Answer: Yeah -- Yes, I Would say Yes

California Supreme Court--Inverse Condemnation


The Second Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Perren, Arthur Gilbert and Kenneth R. Yegan are fully aware of Judge Martin J. Tangemans statements in his August 5, 2008 inverse condemnation decision on P. 7 per photo exhibits # 1278-1337 and 1338 of this OCSD pipe directly inside the Railroad Culvert!  They now allow Government to block and dam storm water drainages systems as seen in these photos!   Photo Evidence/Exhibits presented to Judge Martin J. Tangeman 1278-1337-1338 pdf...

 

The Second Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Perren, Arthur Gilbert and Kenneth R. Yegan have seen the Caltrans photo evidence from this 1953 Caltrans photo before the County and Caltrans changed the drainage at Highway 1 13th and Paso Robles streets!Caltrans 1953 Aerial Photo Knowlodge of County/Caltrans drainage changes to our Pacific Ocean! pdf...  

 
The Second Appellate Court has seen this Caltrans August 11, 1967 photo showing the Railroad house's have been removed and that the drainage channel is different then today.  The Second Appellate Court is mistaken in their statement   "The Exchange modified the drainage by constructing a junction box and pipeline that redirected the flow of water by 90 degrees."
This photo above shows the Railroads property before the County and Cal Trans changed the Community's Storm Water Drainage Channel. This photo was provided by Cal Trans from a 1973 Drainage study going to the Ocean
 

It is unfortunate that San Luis Obispo Superior Court Judge Martin J. Tangeman would not allow in as evidence Exhibit 1789.  This evidence tied in with the photos below, that went with exhibit # 579 that Superior Court Judge Martin J. Tangeman chose also to not allow in as evidence showing that the flooding of our State Highway could be abated  for only $43,295.00 as seen in exhibit # 1790.   Caltrans actions as seen in these photos raising State Highway 1 a foot has put every California resident in danger with this new California Case Law decision July 28, 2010!
Bookout v. State Of California K...     Bookout v. State of California Supreme Court Appeal...   
 
Governor Jerry Brown, Caltrans prior to 2004 maintained the storm water drainage channel as seen in these photos above withheld from discovery by the County of San Luis Obispo until after trial!  Please read what Caltrans states in exhibit # 1789 that Judge Martin J. Tangeman would not allow into evidence!

Exhibit # 1789 States September 15, 1987:
“It was believed that our proposed plan of installing a 36-inch pipe to replace an existing 24- inch pipe would be acceptable to the property owners if it could be shown that the project would only affect the downstream owners minimally.”

“And that even though there had been some light rainfall years there is a good possibility of heavy flooding in this area in the future of both the Highway areas and the County areas.”

“The State could raise the height of Highway one approximately one foot and leave both the County and the Oceano Community Services District the problem to solve on their own (P. Hom)”

RE: Statute of Limitations and Prejudicial Error in regards to evidence withheld from discovery by the County of San Luis Obispo Molly Thurmond, Esq. (SBN 104973)Exhibit #579 (Appendix 15) Prejudicial Error or Not? Photo/Statement Documents withheld by County Of San Luis Obispo And Railroad at trial as allowed by Judge Tangeman, as Judge Tangeman Stated "All  Right" County of San Luis Obispo Causation in permits and drainage requirements on private property.  OCSD and Caltrans correcting 2002 drainage complaint problems in 2002/2003 as stated in exhibit #579 Complaint, Caltrans-McKinley Testomony P. 645 and (RA exhibit #1768) changing the Statute of Limitations!  Date of Stabilization! 

 
County photo documents withheld from discovery by County and Rail Road Exhibit # 579 showing flooding problem on east side of State Highway 1 after Caltrans raised State Highway 1 as stated in document provided with County 2002 Drainage Study Questionnaire!  These photos where provided  December 2, 2008 and are not apart of (Appendix 15) showing no Stabilization!

Why would a California Superior Court Judge allow partial evidence, exhibit # 579 to be withheld from discovery as stated in the Court Transcripts by Union Pacific Railroad and Judge Tangeman? “And for the purpose of the exhibits we don’t need the photographs.” The Court States: “All Right”   Judge Tangeman after his August 5, 2010 Inverse Condemnation Decision States on P. 2117-2018 without acknowledging the photographs, regardoing other documents withheld from discovery. "I accept Mr. Belsher's argument these questionnaires where not available at that time.  They weren't available until July 30th."  "no fruther information was forthcoming and now the questionnaires are here I guarantee they are voluminous, I haven't even read through all of them." 

Photo that RailRoad and County of San Luis Obispo-did provide with exhibit # 579 to Judge Tangeman and Court; stating drainage concern---"Pipeline in rail road culvert obstructing flow (Culvert Abuse) 13th Street & Highway 1 Mr. Bill Bookout" 
This drainage complaint was fixed by Caltrans and the Oceano Community Service District as stated in RA exhibit # 1768!  (Appendix 15) shows other complaints.

The Second Appellate Court Justice--Steven Z. Perren---Kenneth R. Yegan---Arthar Gilbert---Paul Coffee would not talk about these photos that went with exhibit # 579 that Superior Court Judge Martin J. Tangeman did not feel were needed as evidence as he and Union Pacific Railroad stated "“And for the purpose of the exhibits we don’t need the photographs.” The Court States: “All Right”   In regards to these photos the County of San Luis Obispo asks on their Community Drainage and Flood Control Study Questionnaire---"Are there Any other comments regarding drainage and flooding that you would like to make?"  It  was weitten "Yes" showing these photos that Judge Martin J. Tangeman told the Railroad they did not have to include with exhibit # 579.  This prejudicial error shows Causation and no Date of Stabilization!  

County Discovery Abuse per the Baughman Property from State Highway 1 to the Pacific Ocean PDF File...  

These are the Documents letters of whiteness, that where withheld from Discovery by The County Of San Luis Obispo and finally given to us in full on December 2, 2008 five months after our first trial with many depositions and whiteness testimony now being worthless This is how Union Pacific Railroad admitted part of exhibit # 579 and how Judge Tangeman allowed evidence to be withheld from discovery as seen in their statements at trial!  The railroad states “And for the purpose of the exhibits we don’t need the photographs.”  Judge Tangeman-- States: “All Right”

Caltrans photos of drainage problems that Caltrans had created on East Side of State Highway 1. Taken after Oceano Community Drainage Study Questionnaire exhibit # 579 withheld from discovery.  Why would Caltrans Raise State Highway 1 and not account for drainage or ponding?
 
Statute of Limitations with the Oceano Community Service District; drainage changes in December 2002 (RA Exhibit 1768)and prior as seen in photo exhibits below, with the Oceano Community Service Districts use of this drainage system for discharging 2500 gallons of Well water per minute into this undersized culvert blowing in and cementing debris and silt into this culvert year-around!
 
Flooding Photo in 2002 complained about to Caltrans and the Oceano Community Service District. fixed December 20, 2002---Caltrans and OCSD corrected this drainage problem as seen in APPELLANT’S REPLY BRIEF Exhibit # 1768 as stated by OCSD "I had to meet with Bill Bookout and a couple of guys from cal trans about the 6 inch line from well 8 that ends at the culvert by the railroad tracks.  I had Dan saw off the 6 inch pipe and end it in front of the culvert so that there will be no danger of the pipe plugging debris at the entrance to the culvert."  The Next OCSD log of this drainage system is February 9, 2004 before the first flooding of Oceano Nursery.  OCSD States: "Then Joe had him cleaning out the drainage ditch by the railroad track down at 13th and Front Street"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 i) Maintenance activities in the drainage Chanel. (Respondent’s Appendix “RA” Exhibit 1768; Reporters Transcript “RT” Vol. 2 Pg 382-400; RT Vol 6 Pg 1506-1507; Exhibit 1446-1447).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ii) Modification of Well #8 discharge pipe by OCSD. (RA Exhibit 1768)

Governor Jerry Brown, The San Luis Obispo Superior Court has Stated in their August 5, 2008 Decision regarding Inverse Condemnation:  "Mr. Fry testified that any work undertaken by Cal Trans employees in the channel to help clear the channel were most likely undertaken solely as a "good neighbor" practice by a "conscientious employee”  Why is Caltrans allowed to Grade Contaminated Debris Into this Storm Water Drainage Channel?
Judge Tangeman Exhibits presented to him during trial showing inverse condemnation Caltrans endangering public Safety!.PDF..
 

 
The Caltrans Supervisor mentioned by the Court explained Caltrans grading of debris into Storm Water Drainage channels as seen in Caltrans Testimony at trial on page 916-917 of the San Luis Obispo Court Reporters Transcripts. 
Question.
Mr. Fry, Exhibit # 1475 on the screen there is the same as Exhibit 11 in your deposition transcript. Can you describe for me the materials that you see here on Highway 1?
Answer.I see Dirt, Water, Eucalyptus Leaves and Seed Pods from the Eucalyptus.”
Question. Now in your practice as a Maintenance Supervisor and as a lead worker, has it consistently been your practice to somehow, I guess, blade this material to the side of the road?
Answer.
YES. When – When it gets in this condition, we come down with a plow truck and we plow it back off the road. Sometimes we plow it to the gutter and come back later and pick it up. Sometimes we plow it behind the curb and either roll it in with the truck or leave it behind, just leave it behind the curb where it came from.”     
    
Caltrans November 26, 2008 after the August 5, 2008 decision regarding Inverse Condemnation continuing to shovel contaminated storm water debris into this Oceano Communities drainage channel!??

In this sworn testimony statements by Caltrans.  Caltrans has admitted their improper use of this storm water drainage system for their accumulated debris storage coming off of State Highway 1!
   Why would this Superior Court State:
"There was no evidence that any accumulated debris in State's right of way contributed to the problems in the operation of the drainage system. County, State, Union or OCSD could not have abated the nuisance by undertaking any maintenance"  
                This flooding is continuous and can be abated with proper Maintenance by Caltrans!

  
Caltrans Stated at Trial Regarding their maintenance of State Highway 1 Page 917-918       
Question.
“Based on your personal observations, has a substantial amount of material entered onto the Highway as depicted in 1475 following the removal of the concrete wall?” THE COURT: I’ll allow that Question.
Answer.
Yes, I believe that the dirt came from the bank.”
Question. “Due you have any problem at all with sediment buildup in the mouth of the channel?”
Page. 919
Answer.
Sediment? Not so much sediment as Eucalyptus bark. There is some sediment, Yes. 

Question. “Fifteen Seventeen, that’s a picture of you, isn’t it, Mr. Fry.”
Answer. I believe it is. I can’t see my face.”
Question. “Do you recognize that as the entrance to the drainage channel?”
Answer. “
YES”


Governor Jerry Brown, Are Caltrans actions of Shoveling and Grading Contaminated Storm Water Debris into this drainage channel since 2002 a cause of the sedimentation found in the Railroads drainage inlet pipe?  viii) Constant shoveling and grading of debris into drainage Chanel by Caltrans. (RT Vol 4 Pgs 916-917, 920; Exhibits 1466-1467, 1513-1519)

Is the Use of the Drainage channel to discharge OCSD Well # 8 Drinking water and sedimetation in this drainage system a cause of the sedimetation found in the Railroads drainage inlet pipe?  Is this Inverse Condemnation? When do Statute of Limitations Apply with the constant daily drainage changes? 

Are the County of San Luis Obispo Permits and drainage requirements issued to Pismo Oceano Vegetable Exchange consistent with California Case Law as permitted by San Luis Obispo County? Exhibits # 1874 and 1875  as stated by County
"Extend the pavement berm around the primary pond to keep out run off water from the parking lot" Causation by County in permits 
    
At the Appellate Court hearing the Appellate Court Judges where presented with additional documents withheld from discovery by the County of San Luis Obispo (Appendix 15) of how the drainage worked in 2002 before drainage changes to the State Highway 13th and Paso Robles Streets and the drainage inlet by Caltrans and OCSD(Appendix 15) shows Ex-OCSD Director Larry Baughman's problems that have since been corrected with the constant flooding of State Highway 1, Oceano Nursery 13th and Paso Robles Streets.  "We Own a home at 1519 Fountain Ave which is currently rented to Chuck Bachman. It floods every winter with up to a foot of water in the living room, causing Mr. Bachman to move to a Motel." "Water At The Corner Of 13th/Paso Robles/And Highway 1 Runs (Drains) Under The Railroad Tracks Across Railroad Ave And Collects In The Area Highlighted In Yellow On The Reverse. Something Has To Be Done To Get That Water To The Lagoon Or South To The Ag Creek At The East End Of Airport Runway. The End Of Fountain Ave Floods Every Winter. Larry Baughman"

    Statute of Limitations--Date of Stabilization------P 653 Cross-Examination by Caltrans
The County of San Luis Obipo in their Appellate Court brief mention "McKinley" on P. 19 but does not mention Mr. McKinley's statement below showing Caltrans changing the drainage stabilization of HWY 1. 13th, and Paso Robles Streets--per exhibit 579 photos documents withheld at trial by Union Pacific Rail Road and the County of San Luis Obispo!

Caltrans States (P. 643)Answer:
Yeah, I responded to a communication that our maintenance engineer received from Bill Bookout, that there was ponding, A ponding issue at the corners of 13th and Highway   1 and Paso Robles and Highway 1.  And so it was in response to that communication." Question:  Do      you know approximately which side of the State highway this ponding occurred?  Answer: "It was on the East Side". "                                                                                                                              
Page 645
“We reconstructed the pavement, so we put base and we put asphalt down.”  “I believe we put down half a foot of A.C., I believe.
Question:                                                                                  
(P 653 Cross-Examination by Caltrans-Exhibit photos 579)  "
And when you--It was your understanding that the reason this job -- You were asked to design this job was because the Plaintiff had complained about ponding on the East Side near his property, of State Route 1? Answer: Correct."  Mr. Belsher "
Objection; Leading"  The Court OVERRULED.  Question: (P.658)  "Mr. McKinley, in that grinding crown removal project in 2003, do you recollect removing any portions of 13th Street or Paso Robles Street?"  Answer:  That was - Yeah, we went up to do our conforms, yes."  Question:  Do you knowabout how far up those streets you went, if you can recollect?"  Answer:  "From the plans, I want - it seem to be around 70 --70 feet, I believe,  Seventy feet."  Page 659  "We did adjust crowns on adjust crowns on 13th and Paso."
 


The Second Appellate Court in their July 28, 2010 published case law decision fail to talk about Skoumbas v. City of Orinda (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 783.  As briefed and used by Superior Court Judge Martin J. Tangeman.  The Appellate Court States:     "Bookout contends the trial court improperly applied a reasonableness test to determine liability. He points out that except for damage caused by public flood control projects, the test in inverse condemnation actions is strict liability. (Citing Arreola v. County of Monterey (2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 722, 753-754.)

But Bookout fails to point to anywhere in the record that the trial court applied the reasonableness test instead of strict liability. In any event, the court's ruling was based on the statute of limitations and failure to prove causation. The results are the same under the reasonableness test or strict liability. The defendants prevail."   

    The County of San Luis Obispo September 20, 2010 in their "Answer To Petition For Review" by Thomas L. Riordon, SBN 104827 on Page 13 ignores evidence presented to Judge Tangeman showing that the County Required POVE to raise the outlet of the retention pond used by Caltrans, County and OCSD!   The County on P. 12 ignores photo evidence showing the POVE/Railroad pond in 1958 and 1967 instead of the County's statement to the California Supreme Court Justices.  "The trial court heard and weighed all testomony and concluded that the sole legal cause of the flooding was the poorly designed junction box and drainage pond built on Exchange property during the 1970's. (AA 13:345-346)"   How is it that the trial court did not have to pay attention to the Evidence!

Being a whistle blower in San Luis Obispo County has a price! San Luis Obispo County Department of Public Works...  County of San Luis Obispo Answer to Petition for Review Supreme Court Case No. S185267 by Thomas L. Riordan, SBN 104827. The County ignores the fact that San Luis Obispo County issued the POVE building permits and required POVE to raise this drainage pond that the County uses for their storm water retention in the mid 80's!  This retention pond has been in use since the 1950's per Caltrans Photos!

The County of San Luis Obispo acknowledges "No Date Of Stabilization" the construction permitted in the drainage channel by the County, allowing the OCSD Well # 8 discharge Pipe installed into this drainage culvert!  (Per Davis Testimony!)  The County States:  "Davis's daily log for that year makes referance to a meeting with Bookout on December 20, 2002.  (RT Vol. 2:402) Bookout took a picture of the pipe going into the drainage channel in the aftermath of a rain event in 2002."  The County States:  "The picture included a District employee. (RT Vol. 2:403) This photo shows No Date of Stabilization and that OCSD and Caltrans had not properly corrected the complaint in Exhibit # 579!  Thus showing that the partial  use of Exhibit # 579 was a predjudicial Error in now California Case Law "Bookout v. State of California!"

How does Exhibits # 1278, 1337 and 1338 talked about by Judge Teresa Estrada-Mullaney and Judge Martin J.Tangeman make this flooding of State Highway 1 the fault of POVE 100%?  How is this flooding of our California State Highway Stable and Static since the late 1970's?  Both Judge Tangeman and Judge Mullaney acknowledge this OCSD Well # 8 debris pipe constructed inside this storm water drainage channel showing no "Date Of Stabilization" per exhibits #1768, 579 and 1756!  Judge Teresa Estrada-Mullaney.pdf...

Bookout v. State Of California K...     Bookout v. State of California Supreme Court Appeal...   

  The Second Appellate Court ignores Skoumbas v. City of Orinda (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 783. ”We conclude the critical inquiry is not whether the entire system was a public improvement, but rather whether the City acted reasonably in its maintenance and control over those portions of the drainage system it does own.” “Substantial cause-and-effect relationship” is enough for liability even for downstream flooding."  The Appellate Court ignores Caltrans ownership of the first four feet of the storm water drainage inlet and the OCSD ownership and control of their Well # 8 pipe inside this storm water drainage channel!  The Appellate Court ignores exhibit # 1768 presented to the Appellate Court showing OCSD maintenance and drainage changes in December 2002 changeing the Statute of Limitations! 

The Second Appellate Court July 28, 2010 published decision compleatly ignores Statute Of Limitations changes as seen in exhibit # 579 "Did you observe likely causes of the flooding, such as clogged culverts under roads, catch basins filled with dirt, no place for water to flow?"  On Exhibit # 579 withheld from discovery by the County Of San Luis Obispo it was stated--- "Hwy 1 Not Adaquate drainage on Hwy 1 under the train track & Overlay from Caltrans in 2001 on Hwy 1" 

The Second Appellate Court Justice--Steven Z. Perren---Kenneth R. Yegan---Arthar Gilbert---Paul Coffee would not talk about these photos that went with exhibit # 579 that Superior Court Judge Martin J. Tangeman did not feel were needed as evidence as he and Union Pacific Railroad stated "“And for the purpose of the exhibits we don’t need the photographs.” The Court States: “All Right”   In regards to these photos the County of San Luis Obispo asks on their Community Drainage and Flood Control Study Questionnaire---"Are there Any other comments regarding drainage and flooding that you would like to make?"  It  was weitten "Yes" showing these photos that Judge Martin J. Tangeman told the Railroad they did not have to include with exhibit # 579.  This prejudicial error shows Causation and no Date of Stabilization!   County Discovery Abuse per the Baughman Property from State Highway 1 PDF File...

RE: Statute of Limitations and Prejudicial Error in regards to evidence withheld from discovery by the County of San Luis Obispo Molly Thurmond, Esq. (SBN 104973)Exhibit #579 (Appendix 15) Prejudicial Error or Not? Photo/Statement Documents withheld by County Of San Luis Obispo And Railroad at trial as allowed by Judge Tangeman, as Judge Tangeman Stated "All  Right" County of San Luis Obispo Causation in permits and drainage requirements on private property.  OCSD and Caltrans correcting 2002 drainage complaint problems in 2002/2003 as stated in exhibit #579 Complaint, Caltrans-McKinley Testomony P. 645 and (RA exhibit #1768) changing the Statute of Limitations!  Date of Stabilization! 

 
County photo documents withheld from discovery by County and Rail Road Exhibit # 579 showing flooding problem on east side of State Highway 1 after Caltrans raised State Highway 1 as stated in document provided with County 2002 Drainage Study Questionnaire!  These photos where provided  December 2, 2008 and are not part of (Appendix 15) showing no Date of StabilizationStabilization!

Why would a California Superior Court Judge allow partial evidence, exhibit # 579 to be withheld from discovery as stated in the Court Transcripts by Union Pacific Railroad and Judge Tangeman? “And for the purpose of the exhibits we don’t need the photographs.” The Court States:
“All Right”   Judge Tangeman after his August 5, 2010 Inverse Condemnation Decision States on P. 2117-2018 without acknowledging the photographs, regardoing other documents withheld from discovery. "I accept Mr. Belsher's argument these questionnaires where not available at that time.  They weren't available until July 30th."  "no fruther information was forthcoming and now the questionnaires are here I guarantee they are voluminous, I haven't even read through all of them." 

The Second Appellate Court Ruling June 28, 2010 Allows Caltrans to Raise and flood State Highway 1 --13th and Paso Robles Streets in Oceano California and then Grade and shovel debris into the Oceano Communities Storm Water Drainage Channel putting blame on a produce company for 1977 construction!  This ruling allows the United States government to discharge debris and well water into our United States drainage systems stating: "the nuisance or trespass alledged here is permanent."!

The Second Appellate Court of California has changed our California Case Law in Arreola v. County of Monterey(2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 722. and Skoumbas v. City of Orinda (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 783.   Court of Appeal Opinion: [PDF] Filed 6/28/10 Modified and certified for publication 7/28/10 (order attached)
 
 
Now in the publised decision Bookout et al. v. State of California Dept. of Transportation, government (Caltrans, OCSD) is allowed to fill in storm water drainage channels and dredge debris into storm water drainage systems as seen and talked about by Justice--Steven Z. Perren---Kenneth R. Yegan---Arthar Gilbert in their publised July 28, 2010 Decision!  Notice Photos talked about by the Second Appellate Court in their Julu 28, 2010 Inverse Condemnation decision!!


The Second Appellate Court States in their July 28, 2010 published decision in regards to these photos above "Bookout points to no findings of fact in his favor. Instead, he relies on over 500 photographs and videos showing the flooding, several hundred documents which he claims show each defendant exercised dominion and control over the drainage facilities, and the testimony of his expert engineer, Keith Crow. He believes the evidence against the defendants was overwhelming." 

This statement above by the Second Appellate Court affects every California resident and changes our California Case Law with the Second Appellate Courts published decision July 28, 2010 in Bookout et al. v. State of California Dept. of Transportation.  This decision now changes--Arreola v. County of Monterey(2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 722. and Skoumbas v. City of Orinda (2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 783.   


The Second Appellate Court Ignored in their June 28, 2010 Decision, what had been California Case Law up to June 28, 2010,  With Caltrans, County and OCSD actions this drainage system has no "Date of Stabilization"!  

Arreola v. County of Monterey
(2002) 99 Cal.App.4th 722. “We conclude that in order to prove the type of governmental conduct that will support liability in inverse condemnation it is enough to show that the entity was aware of the risk posed by its public improvement and deliberately chose a course of action – or inaction – in the face of that known risk.” “Knowing that failure to properly maintain the Project channel posed a significant risk of flooding, Counties nevertheless permitted the channel to deteriorate over a long period of years by failing to take effective action to overcome the fiscal, regulatory, and environmental impediments to keeping the Project channel clear. This is sufficient evidence to support the trial court’s finding of a deliberate and unreasonable plan of maintenance.” State diversion or obstruction of surface water onto land “not historically subject to flooding” is not protected by reasonableness rule, but results in strict liability.


Caltrans actions of shoveling and grading storm debris into this drainage channel, while the Oceano Community Service District is permitted to discharge Well # 8 water into this drainage system should have been ruled on per the Second Appellate Courts Decision June 28, 2020 per--
 

Skoumbas v. City of Orinda
(2008) 165 Cal.App.4th 783. Diversion of surface waters into a natural watercourse creates liability only if it causes an unreasonable risk of harm under Locklin factors and is a substantial cause of damage. Flood control system that “fails in heavy rain and causes damage to property that has historically been subject to flooding” governed by rule of reasonableness. City could be liable even if its storm drainpipe discharged into a private pipe and the damage occurred “downstream.” “”We conclude the critical inquiry is not whether the entire system was a public improvement, but rather whether the City acted reasonably in its maintenance and control over those portions of the drainage system it does own.” “Substantial cause-and-effect relationship” is enough for liability even for downstream flooding.”

The Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Perren--Kenneth R. Yegan---Arthur Gilbert on Page 2 and 6 of their June 28, 2010 decision allow Government to block storm water drainage channels in California per the Davis daily logs Exhibit # 1768!   They believe that these photos and video below of the OCSD use of this channel are not a cause of our State Highway 1 flooding!  They Blame POVE 100% ignoring Exhibit # 1875 of the County of San Luis Building permits per (Marin v. City of San Rafael, supra, 111 Cal.App.3d at pp. 595-596.) Requiring POVE to raise the County's Storm Water Drainage Outlet!

The Second Appellate Court is mistaken on P. 8 of their June 28, 2010 decision as testimony presented to the Second Appellate Court from Phil Davis of the Oceano Community Service District and exhibit 1768 are facts that have been seen and mentioned by the Appellate Court!  This evidence is ovewhelming as seen below!  These drainage changes are made after the Appellate Courts P. 8 100% Blame of the Pismo Oceano Vegetable Exchange!   OCSD stated to Judge Tangeman   P. 383 Answer: “We run the well— Right now, we’re running about five or six day a week. And we just start it in the morning, so it goes through a cycle”
Question. How much water is discharged out of the pipe each time that you do the procedure that you described?
Answer. “Approximately 2,500 Gallons per minute?”
Question. And the rate at which this water is discharged is somewhere around 1,300 gallons per minute?
Answer. “Well, it starts out fast and gradually slow down until it stops. And when it stops, all the water is going into the system.”P. 385 Question: Are you aware of any permission sought by the district, itself for operating this pipe?
Answer: “Other then the Health Department, I don't know of any."

P.386 by Mr. Belsher: Thirteen thirty-six and 1337, is this the same discharge pipe we discussed or saw in the previous photograph, only a different configuration?
Answer. Yes.
Question: And did you oversee an extension of the pipe into the culvert that’s depicted there?
Answer
. Yes.
Question. And this picture dated 2002, so does that seem as if that was the state of the – to your recollection, That the pipe was projecting into the culvert as of 2002?
Answer. Yes.
Question. And 1338 is another example of the pipe  extended into the culvert. Thirteen thirty nine, is this an OCSD employee? Answer. “I believe it is.”
Question:
And I note that the pipe now is cut back from the entrance to culvert?
Answer:
“That’s correct.”
Question:
And is that an action which you and your staff took in 2002?
Answer. “YES”


The Second Appellate Court is mistaken (Marin v. City of San Rafael, supra, 111 Cal.App.3d at pp. 595-596.)as stated (FACTS-Discussion P. 8 "Here there is an obvious cause of the flooding.  The Exchange modified the drainage by constructing a junction box and pipeline that redirected the flow of water by 90 degrees.") ("Causation") ("Overwhelming Evidence") Per Phil Davis Daily logs Exhibit # 1768 mentioned by the Appellate Court in Page 2 and 3 of their June 28, 2010 Decision! The Appellate Court erred in testimony of Fred Brebs and Evidence P. 3, 6, 7--Sutton, Brebes and Davis--Testomony as seen in the Court Transcripts! 

The Second Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Peren--Kenneth R. Yegan--Arthur Gilbert; ignore Exhibit # 1756, 1731, 1732, 1760, 1763, 1769, 1772, 1773, and 1783 presented by Union Pacific per Causation drainage changes made by Caltrans, County and OCSD showing no (Date of Stabilization) And (Causation) from OCSD taking a working drainage channel in exhibit # 1756 April 21, 1983 for their use (Prescriptive Easement) of this pipe below installed in 2001 per Caltrans exhibit # 1768 .   P. 8 "In other words, the City (OCSD) was liable because it directed the installation of, used , and owned the pipe."

Union Pacific Rail Road Exhibit # 1756 --P. 8 OCSD P. 7 "Obvious Cause"--(Causation) OCSD letter written to County RR and POVE presented to the Appellate Court (Prescriptive Easement) States: "This Channel has been protected by use of a culvert that would conduct surface waters under Southern Pacific tracks to what may be a bunker under the loading docks of the Pismo-Oceano Vegetable Exchange (POVE) . The water, then, might flow to a small retention basin maintained by POVE."

"Because this is an established drainage channel. The District feels that its full design capacity should be available for
use. Reserch, however has not clearly revealed the agency responsible for the maintenance of the channel. Consequently , we have no idea the condition of the channel and wheather, in its present state of maintenance, it can adequately carry the quantity of water that will be discharged." 

This type of Causation, prescriptive easement over rides the Appellate Court P. 2 P. 6 determination decision that POVE construction in 1977 was the cause of this flooding!   OCSD admitted in exhibit # 1756   "We have no idea the condition of the channel and wheather, in its present state of maintenance, it can adequately carry the quantity of water that will be discharged."   They contacted the County of San luis Obispo per their testimony. (Marin v. City of San Rafael, supra, 111 Cal.App.3d at pp. 595-596.)Union Pacific Railroad Exhibit # 1768---September 11, 1985 letter and Phil Davis daily logs showed The Appellate Court Justices, the Prescriptive Easement, Causation that each have claimed does not exist!  The County actions in these drainage changes and permits exhibit 1874-1875 are the main Cause per (Marin v. City of San Rafael, supra, 111 Cal.App.3d at pp. 595-596.)

Mention this Causation-Prescriptive Easement video of the Oceano Community Service District ignoring expert testimony on P. 3 of Keith Crowe "(3) the district well added silt and debris;"  In exhibit # 1768 OCSD and Caltrans David Fry-recieved a complaint of debris daming/blockage--(NOT FLOODING) and abated this problem per their testimony and the Phil Davis Daily logs!  OCSD daily logs States on Friday, December 20, 2002.  "I had to meet with Bill Bookout and a couple of guys from cal trans about the 6 inch line from well 8 that ends at the culvert by the tracks.  I had Dan saw off the 6 inch pipe and end it 5 feet in front of the culvert so that there will be no danger of the pipe plugging debris at the entrence to the culvert." 

Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Peren--Kenneth R. Yegan--Arthur Gilbert P. 6 fail to acknowledge this Prescriptive Easement, Causation testimony other then to State:  "But none of these alledged changes of conditions compelled the trial court to conclude that the flowing was not relatively consistant and static for several years prior to Bookout's purchase of his property.""    County of San Luis Obispo documents left out of exhibit # 579 provided  December 2, 2008 after trial shows the Appellate Court Justices decision to be wrong!  Prejudicial Error!

Question.  Okay. Now, this is a picture, 1396, of you inspecting the entrance to the 20-inch culvert; correct?
Answer.
UH-UH.
Question
. Are you concerned at all that the operation of this pipe could blow leaves and other debris into the pipe during its operation?
Answer.
Um, well we wanted to check and make sure it didn't happen.
Question
. So what's your observation?
Answer
. We just look through the culvert.
If you could see a culvert going a hundred feet, or whatever it goes, well it is fine. Page 391.Question. And did you observe debris blowing into this pipe on occasion?
Answer.
Blowing into it.”
Question
from the operation of the discharge pipe?
Answer
. No
Question
Do you have any maintenance plan for the channel or the culvert with respect to debris?
Answer.
NO, WE DO NOT.”
 
The Second Appellate Court on P. 9 of their June 28, 2010 Decision State: "(Marin v. City of San Rafael, supra, 111 Cal.App.3d at p. 596.) In other words, the city was liable because it directed the installation of, used, and owned the pipe. It even obtained an injunction to prevent plaintiffs from interfering with its operation. None of those factors are present here."  The Appellate Court ignored direct testimony by Phil Davis showing the County involvement in the OCSD Prescriptive Easement pipe constructed in the Rail Roads Drainage channel!   P. 385 Court Transcripts-- Question: Are you aware of any permission sought by the district, itself for operating this pipe?  Answer: “Other then the Health Department, I don't know of any."

City of San Rafael  (1980) 111 Cal.App.3d 591, 595; Ullery v. County of Contra Costa (1988) 202 Cal.App.3d 562, 568; DiMartino v. City of Orinda (2000) 80 Cal.App.4th 329, 336.) "An action in inverse condemnation will lie when damage to private property is proximately caused by use of a storm drainage system for its intended purpose." (Souza v. Silver Development Co. (1985) 164 Cal.App.3d 165, 170.) When accepted and approved by a municipality, drainage systems become a public improvement and a part of the system of public works. (Frustuck v. City of Fairfax (1963) 212 Cal.App.2d 345, 358.) "The fact that the work is performed by a contractor, subdivider or a private owner of property does not necessarily exonerate a public agency, if such contractor, subdivider or owner follows the plans and specifications furnished or approved by the public agency. When the work thus planned, specified and authorized results in an injury to adjacent property the liability is upon the public agency under its obligation to compensate for the damages  6 resulting from the exercise of its governmental power." (Id. at pp. 362-363; see DiMartino, supra, at pp. 338-339.)"
  • The Second Appellate Court  States on P. 6 P. 7 of their Appellate Court decision compleatly ignore as Exhibit # 579 documents withheld from discovery an trial!  County Discovery Abuse per the Baughman Property from State Highway 1 PDF File...  They State:  "The determination of when the statute of limitations begins to run is a question of fact. (Lee, supra, 107 Cal.App.4th at p. 857.) Here the trial court determined that the date of stabilization theory does not apply. The court found that the last improvements to the drainage system were constructed by the Exchange in the late 1970's, and that the flooding problem was relatively consistent and static for several years prior to the time Bookout purchased his property in 2000.

    Bookout challenges the trial court's findings by listing what it characterizes as changed conditions since the Exchange constructed the junction box in the 1970's. The alleged changed conditions include: maintenance activities, modifications to Well No. 8, weed abatement, removal of a retaining wall, alteration of Highway 1, shoveling and grading of debris, accumulation of debris, and an increase in impervious surfaces. But none of these alleged change of conditions compelled the trial court to conclude that the flowing was not relatively consistent and static for several years prior to Bookout's purchase of his property.

    Bookout argues the trial court erred in receiving documentary evidence that was not produced during discovery. The document is a county drainage study questionnaire returned by Bookout in July 2002. Bookout stated on the questionnaire that the area floods one foot or more once a year and that the flooding has damaged his inventory."

    Bookout v. State ex rel. Dept. of Transportation CA2/6 filed 6/28/10 Detailed case information
    Appellate Court Justices--Steven Z. Peren--Kenneth R. Yegan--Arthur Gilbert ignore as Stated in the Appellant's Reply Brief ("Accrual Date")  or (Causation)!!!  P. 7 and 8.  The Appellate Court States P. 8 and 9: 
  • "Bookout points to no findings of fact in his favor. Instead, he relies on over 500 photographs and videos showing the flooding, several hundred documents which he claims show each defendant exercised dominion and control over the drainage facilities, and the testimony of his expert engineer, Keith Crow. He believes the evidence against the defendants was overwhelming."
       
    "Bookout claims the evidence is credible because it is uncontradicted. He cites Joseph v. Drew
    (1950) 36 Cal.2d 575, 579, for the proposition that uncontradicted testimony of a witness may not be disregarded, but should be accepted as proof of the fact to which the witness testified. Indeed, there are no doubt cases where the uncontradicted testimony of a witness is so credible that no reasonable trier of fact could reject it. But this is not such a case."
     
    "Here there is an obvious cause of the flooding. The Exchange modified the drainage by constructing a junction box and pipeline that redirected the flow of water by 90 degrees. The Exchange has settled with Bookout. Evidence that the remaining defendants contributed to the conditions that caused the flooding rests largely in Crowe's expert testimony. As helpful as expert opinion can be, such testimony carries a built-in bias: experts are most often very well paid for their opinions. The trial court had good reason to be skeptical of Crowe's testimony. We apply the usual rule on appeal that the trier of fact is not required to believe the testimony of any witness, even if uncontradicted. (Sprague v. Equifax, Inc.
    (1985) 166 Cal.App.3d 1012, 1028.) The evidence presented here did not compel the trial court to find in favor of Bookout." 

    The Appellate Court chose to ignore the fact that this flooding could be abated from Caltrans documents for only $43,295.00 and that the County of San Luis Obispo required the outlet for this water raised per County Permits Exhibits 1874-1875.  The California Supreme Court will need to decide if this is now legal in California (Marin v. City of San Rafael, supra, 111 Cal.App.3d at pp. 595-596.)and if Has any merit for California Case law?
           

     In the County of San Luis Obispo Answer to Petition for Review Supreme Court Case No. S185267 by Thomas L. Riordan, SBN 104827. The County ignores the fact that San Luis Obispo County issued the POVE building permits and required POVE to raise the drainage pond that the County uses for their storm water retention!  This retention pond has been in use since the 1950's per Caltrans Photos!  The County acknowledges the OCSD discharge into this drainage system as seen in Judge Martin J. Tangeman exhibits noted #1278-1337-1338 showing POVE not at fault for the flooding of State Highway 1!

    Pacific Capital Bank in 2007 knowing of flooding problems and an Inverse Condemnation Lawsuit required in my First Bank of San Luis Obispo Oceano Nursery SBA loan to Fight Inverse Condemnation!  Pacific Capital Bank then broke a May 15, 2007 agreement after recieving a loan payment May 11, 2007.  Pacific Capital Bank/Sandra Sheffield then took foreclosure actions on May 17, 2007 costing Oceano Nursery $34,334.24 business working capital and Oceano Nursery to close!  

    After signing a Pacific Capital Bank new loan modification June 28, 2007, Pacific Capital Bank immediatly broke this signed modification agreement by not properly amortizing my SBA loan and charging Attorney fees against the 2007 loan modification!    Pacific Capital Bank when questioned stated August 1, 2007 “The proper Bank officials will look into the computerized records and determine if there are any problems.”  Pacific Capital Bank has had 3 years with no corrections!

    Pacific Capital Bank had stated prior on July 23, 2007 after questioning  payments made in July 2007: "With regard to the payment of July 12th, it was not immediately applied against the outstanding obligation because the Bank's commputer system was being adjusted based upon the forbearance Agreement that was executed; it should be applied by now."  Pacific Capital Bank to date has ignored the loan modification and (SBA form 147 Note) requiring PCB to reamortize this SBA loan yearly!  Pacific Capital Bank has been unable to account for their Attorney fees and how they have Amortized my SBA loan in 2007 in their favor, as seen below in communication with Pacific Capital Bank!

    When asking Pacific Capital Bancorp for an accounting of my SBA Loan Modification since 2007. Pacific Capial Bank turning down $10,000.00 from a sale of a personal residence and filing a Complaint with the Comptroller of the Currency Administrator of National Banks Case # 01394465!  Pacific Capital Bancorp has stated through their Attorney George C. Lazar!  

    December 14, 2010  "Also, I noted in your communication that you indicate you have filed a complaint with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.  As we discussed in the past, we will not discuss matters relating to the OCC complaint until that complaint has been resolved by the OCC.  Because you chose that forum in which to raise your complaint, it is only fair that we allow the OCC to proceed with what it deems appropriate."

    December 15, 2010  " This letter is to notify you that under the terms of the Agreement, Pacific Capital Bank hereby elects to terminate the Agreement.  In addition, pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Agreement, demand is hereby made that no later than fifteen  (15) business days from the date of this letter, you pay to Pacific Capital Bank $96,228.27, which represents the difference between the amount owing on the Note from July 6, 2007 through the date of this letter less the amounts paid under the Agreement."

    December 16, 2010 "As requested by you, I reviewed the questions asked of Mr. Mendoza as posted on your website and note that these questions appear to be similar to those incorporated into your OCC complaint.  As discussed previously , until the OCC resolves that complaint, the OCC remains the forum you have chosen to resolve the outstanding disputes and the one the Bank will respond in, if a response is requested."

    December 21, 2010  "Until your communications, such as the request for an amortization table, are directed soly to me, you can anticipate that no response of any kind will be forthcoming.  Pacific Capital has the right to designate to whom you should communicate and it intends to rely on that right.

    December 22, 2010  " Mr. Sheffield has forwarded to me certain emails sent by you to her on December 20, 2010 and December 21, 2010.  In those emails you requested an amortization schedule and also ask for responseses to certain questions."
    "To reiterate, I am your sole point of contact, and as long as you persist in ignoring this fact, you should not expect a response.  Please do not further communicate with Mrs. Sheffield on matters raised in your emails noted above, or on any other matter."

    Mr. Bookout:

     

    It is not impossible to communicate with me.  I have responded promptly by FedEx or mail to all of your communications directed to me.  However, as I have advised you several times, your communications to Pacific Capital Bank should be directed to me and not directed, or copied, to others at the Bank.  Until such time as you comply with this request, I will not be responding substantively to your requests for information.  In addition, since you have presented most, if not all, of your questions to a regulatory agency, a response is being prepared to that agency, as is appropriate. 

     

    Once you agree to the above, I will forward you a transcript of your account.  However, because of the holidays, communications in the next week may be intermittent.

    December 30, 2010  "
    Second, you asked for an amortization schedule.  As I indicated in my email of last week, I will provide information on your agreement that you will communicate only with me, rather than sending emails to a number of persons at Pacific Capital Bank.  As you have not made that agreement, I do not feel that any further response is necessary.  I believe that the request that you communicate with me is reasonable and necessary, and we will insist on that condition.  (In the event that you do agree to this request, please let me know exactly what you mean by an "amortization schedule".)

     

     

    January 4, 2011  "I will, of course, respond to any written communications.  However, as I have previously advised you, I will not be providing any substantive responses until such time as you agree, in writing, that you will communicate exclusively with me for the purpose of communicating to Pacific Capital Bank regarding your loan.  You have persisted in your efforts to involve other Bank employees in this matter.  As a result, I remain unwilling to provide you any information that the Bank is not required to provide you.  (An amortization schedule is not information the Bank is required to provide you.)  If there is anything further at this time, please let me know, in writing.

    January 10, 2011 
    If there happen to be any mistakes by Pacific Capital Bank – I have no knowledge of any mistakes, so this is hypothetical from my point of view – those could be addressed in any cure of the payment defaults.”

    January 12, 2011   "Mr. Bookout:  As you have been advised a number of times, I am your sole point of contact for purposes of communications with Pacific Capital Bank.  Until such time as you acknowledge this decision by the Bank, and stop sending emails to various employees, the only response will be that which is required by law.  With regard to any requests for comment on matters you have place on the Internet, or in your written materials, Pacific Capital Bank will not respond to those requests.  Silence is not to be deemed agreement that your materials are accurate.  As I indicated previously, if you have a proposal to work out the default on your loan, please direct it to me. 

     

    George C. Lazar
    FOX JOHNS LAZAR PEKIN & WEXLER, APC"

    January 25, 2011  With regard to your request for an amortization schedule, an amortization schedule is necessarily based upon assumptions, such as a static interest rate, and assumes strict performance by the borrower as required by the terms of the loan.  In the case of your loan, the significant defaults and the agreements that have been made not only make any previously-issued amortization not relevant to the loan’s current status, but they preclude a current amortization, since the defaults are continuing, additional charges are being incurred, and the time to maturity is decreasing, among other things.  Should the loan be put in a performing status, we could address amortization schedule issues at that time.”

    January 25, 2011 “With regard to the questions you have been propounding which you chose to resolve through complaint to the OCC, this email will advise you that Pacific Capital Bank has responded to the OCC within their prescribed timeframes, and we assume they will follow up with you based upon that response.  Any issues you have with the Bank’s response to the OCC, or with the OCC’s response, should be taken up with the OCC.”

    February 2, 2011 “Pacific Capital Bank is no longer lending under the SBA program.  As a result, a refinance from Pacific Capital is not something that could be done, although another lender might be in a position to make the proposed loan.” 


    February 12, 2011  "Mr. Bookout:  It should be unnecessary, but once again I will reiterate that Pacific Capital Bank’s failure to respond to any of your demands for a response within a certain time frame is not admission of the validity of any claim you make.  And, to the extent that you assert a failure to respond as being an admission on the part of Pacific Capital Bank, any such assertion would be a false statement knowingly made by you.

     

    George C. Lazar
    FOX JOHNS LAZAR PEKIN & WEXLER, APC"


    February 23, 2011  "Mr. Bookout:  Your call to the SBA Office of Pacific Capital Bank this morning is improper.  As you have been advised, I am the sole point of contact for any authorized discussions with you regarding your loan and any related matters.   Your refusal to abide by the Bank’s wishes with regard to communications is very troubling.  Please respect the Bank’s desire to have all communications directed through me. 


    George C. Lazar
    FOX JOHNS LAZAR PEKIN & WEXLER, APC"

    May 12, 2008  “The requests you have made, and the delinquencies in the documentation, have resulted in the Bank incurring additional attorney's fees.  As a result, you are requested to forward to Pacific Capital Bank, c/o Ms. Sheffield, a check in the amount of $750.00 to cover anticipated attorney's fees incurred in responding to the requests for information.  Of course, this amount is only an estimate, and if the fees exceed the amount received, an additional deposit will be required. Please forward the deposit as soon as possible so that the Bank can begin work on the research you have requested.”

     

    July 23, 2008"As to the fee bills, we know of no basis upon which you can request copies.  In addition, the fee bills contain confidential material.  If you would like a summary of the work done prepared, that can be done.  However, the Bank will require a deposit against the estimated costs before I proceed."

    July 28, 2008  "Dear Mr. Bookout:  In response to your request for Pacific Capital Bank’s payment to you of the sum of $6,815.12 plus interest, this letter is to state that the Bank has determined that it will not make the payment.

    In addition, this letter will advise you that although the attorney’s fees incurred in responding to the OCC complaint(s) were not charged against your outstanding loan, all other attorney’s fees incurred will, to the extent allowed under the applicable loan documents, be charged against the loan. The Bank reserves the right to demand immediate payment of the amounts owing or to add the amounts, together with interest if allowed, to any payoff demand.

    Subject: RE: SBA Bank Fraud------Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Case # 01394465

     

    Mr. Bookout:

     

    As I have informed you on more than one occasion, it is SBA policy that a participating lender must service its SBA-guaranteed loans. This means that SBA will not arbitrate, nor intercede, nor further address your long-running complaints against Pacific Capital Bank.  

     

    Any problems you believe exist concerning the servicing of your loan account with Pacific Capital Bank must be resolved between you and your lender. Since you continue to accuse Pacific Capital Bank of committing fraud, it may well be necessary for a private attorney to file a lawsuit in your behalf in order to vindicate your claim. If you do undertake this course of action, SBA expresses no opinion whatsoever on the merits of your claims.

     

    The SBA response to your questions/requests, as set forth below, is as follows:

     

    ·         If you believe that Pacific Capital Bank has failed to abide by the terms of the Promissory Note you signed, SBA believes that a private attorney retained by you would advise you that you have the right to seek recourse against your lender by suing Pacific Capital Bank for breach of contract.

    ·         SBA does not have any ‘problem’ with Pacific Capital Bank charging attorney fees to negotiate & draft the Loan Workout Agreement you entered into in 2007 because Pacific Capital Bank is entitled to recover its expenses incurred to collect amounts due under the note signed by you, enforce the terms of your note, or any other loan document signed by you, and preserve or dispose of pledged collateral. Expenses incurred by Pacific Capital Bank, as per the express terms of your promissory note, may include reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.

    ·         SBA neither agrees nor disagrees with your statement that Pacific Capital Bank has been “over charging my SBA loan in 2007 by $182.26 per month of business working capital.” If you dispute the calculation of your monthly loan payment, or the monthly balance of your loan account, or the application of your monthly payments (if any were made), to your loan balance, SBA believes that a private attorney retained by you would advise you that you have the right to seek recourse against your lender by suing Pacific Capital Bank for breach of contract.

    ·         SBA neither agrees nor disagrees that Pacific Capital Bank has ‘accurately’ amortized your loan since 2007. If you dispute the calculation of your remaining loan balance, SBA believes  that a private attorney retained by you would advise you that you have the right to seek recourse against your lender by suing Pacific Capital Bank for breach of contract.

    Subject: RE: SBA Bank Fraud------Office of the Comptroller of the Currency Case # 01394465

     

    Mr. Terrill K. Asker,

     

    Can you see that the questions asked of the SBA are answered with in 24 hours?

     

    I would like a response from the SBA in regards to Pacific Capital Bank not paying attention to SBA Form 147 Note requiring Pacific Capital Bank to yearly re amortize my SBA Loan since 2007, per the 2003 signed SBA Form 147 Note attached above?

     

    Does the SBA find any problems with George C. Lazar charging Attorney fees of $2,471.45 against the 2007 loan modification prepared by George C. Lazar?

     

    Does the SBA find any problem with Pacific Capital Bank monthly over charging my SBA loan in 2007 by $182.26 per month of business working capital?

     

    Does the SBA find Pacific Capital Banks figures of $97,369.07 in PCB’s March 4, 2011 letter to be accurately amortized from the 2007 loan modification?

     

          I am requesting an SBA Amortization Schedule for Pacific Capital Banks 2007 Loan modification; per Pacific Capital Banks statement March 4, 2011?

     

    Sincerely
