a contentious divorce trial lasting an excessive amount of time.

proceedings before the lower courts, a case was referred to Di strict Judge Steven P.
Elliott of the Second Judicial Di strict Court for evaluation regarding Re pondent 's

completed by two doctors, Judge Elliott entered an order finding that the
Respondent was competent to stand trial under RS 178.425. A copy of Judge
Elliott's Order is attached hereto as Exhibit 8.

whether the Respondent is "competent" to practice law. The issue before Judge
Elliott focused only on the ability of the Respondent to stand tri al.

"S. Upon noncompliance with the notice : (a) The landlord or the landlord's may appl y by affidavi t of

FlIl1her, de5pite what the inaccw-ate handout.s of Nov ada Legal Serv ic es may say .\bout this "24 hours" and the
ilpplicabdllY of the JCRCP to cases li ke these, NRS Rules of practice, holds that ."The provisions of NRS, Nevada
Rules of Civil Procedure und Nevada Rules of Appellal4 Procedure relat ive to civil act ioM. and new trials, so far
<u they arc not inconsistent with the provisions ofNRS 40. 220 to 40.420, inclusive, apply to the proceedin&-, mentioned
In those 5ections. As such NRCP 6(a),(e) appl ies to the Ortler of Summary EViction that WCSO Deputy Machem alleged,
under penalty of perjury, that he 'personally serv ed" upon me on November I, 2011. That is a lie by Mr . Machem, unless
'personally served" is defi ned in a rather impenonal way and or Machem and I have totall y different undastandi ng of the
definition of "personally served", which may be the CU5e. Or, perhap5 the Shenffs Office i5 busy and doesn' t want to wait
around to "pef5onally servo' every tenant it wi5hes to ov ict. Fine, lhen just U5e the "mal! it and allow three daY5" rul e in
NRCP 6(e). the landl ord' s might not li ke it, but they can use that frustration as an incentive nat to j ump to litiljating every
disagreement about habitabil ity that a tenant bnngs to them. You may not realize how ndlculollS some b ndlord's get. In
my case, I offered to fix basic things that cl early impl icated the habltabJl ity rule5 in NRS 118A.290 and the Califomi ::m

':: 'l
tenant' s penonal property.. . Regardleu, between January 8 - 12th. 201 2, and was arrested twice by the Reno PD shortly
after submittini these written complaints to the Reno PD.
Actually, upon betnlJ released from pi l on Nov ember 15th. 201 1. incident to the custodial trespass arrest, I went
to Richard l-il.ll's offi ce to get my wallet and driver's li cense. He refused to provide it to me until late November 22nel
2011 . Hi ll called the Reno PD on the 15th (or maybe r di d because he was withholding my state issued rD, the one r
would need to rent a room, drive my car, and my wallet, which is lcind ofweful in such situations... . ). Anyways, Sargent
Tarter of the Reno PD showed up, he went inside Hill's office with Hill for quite some time and the resul t was Tarter
telling me to leave. r did.. but while driving down S1. Laurence towards S. Virginia (HiU' s office is at 652 Forrest St.
89503 and would have required turnIng down the wrong way or a one way street, Forrest, to go back to HIli's Otlice (so
clearl y r was not headed to HiU's office) Sargent TBrter began tailing me, then he pulled me over, then he gave me B
tiCKet, in retal istion if you a'l k m e for reporting RPD Officer Carter adm itting that he takes bribes from H ill to Sargent
Tru-ter minutes ear li er. L1h. well, nnyways, another Sargent calls me lat er that night, tn.Icing the "good cop' rol e. But upon
inform ing him of what RPD Officer Cart er tol d me about Hill paying him money to arrest people during the 11 / 12111
trespassing arrest, that Sargent immediately informed me that, despite this being the flIst he heard of that, he was sure that
was not happening. ,. r guess RPD Officer Cart er is trying to explain away his comments about RIchard HIli payIng him
money to arrest people by dism issing them as sQl"casm. a joke, said in jest, what ever ... but r don't see how that situation (0
license attorney getting arrested for a crime. a conviction for which would result in that attorney bei ng required to report
sai d conviction to the St:Jte Bar of Nevada under SCR III, et c .. and possibly resulting in R 3uspensiori of tha t attorney' s
to practice low, or worse ... ) is all that jocular of B situation. Com bine tha t With the too quic k to di smiss my reporU

(and my client's li le!., whIch arguably are not even my property, but rather, the client' s property) . Ifill went on to place
what he bolieves to be my soc ial secur ity number in court records, on purpose, despite hi s signing an Affirmation
pursuant to NRS 2398.030 that that was not the case (attaching 8 two page report to the RPD as an ExhIbit). Then Hill
and hi s contractor Phil Howard both commItted perjury when the signed Dec laratiolU attest ing that I had climbed on the
contractors trod, or ever touched Hill. Hill lies corutnntly, whether unde r penalty of perjury or now, 50 I don't hav e timo
to rebut every little lie he makes (he m:tlces me out to comes across 11$ 8 Yosem ite Sam caricature of a human being in hi s
tilings when he dcscnbes me.. .).
Further, why run r arrested for trespassing Hnd not those from Nevada Court Services wh.:re th.:y wc:nt behind
closed gate tho the backyard of my home law office and banged on window extremely loudl y for 40 minutes at a time 3
times Q day, one guy r inging the doorbell, one guy mov ing around all other sides of the property banging on the windows,

which case a No Cause Eviction Notice makes impermissible a Summary Eviction Procl!eding undl!r
NRS 40.2.53, and therefore, the Order of Summary Eviction is void for lack ofjurisdidi on, or, the
Affidavit of St!rVice was on my home, md WaJ not "handed" to me, or "personally s.:rved" (despite
the Affidavit attesting to having "personally served" me), nor was the Order of Slunmary Eviction
served in accordance with NRCP 5(b)(2)(A)(iii), which requires: "if the office is closed or the person
to be served has no office, leaving it at the veCloq'S ,'welll"e hOllse or IISU". place ofaholle with
:lome peoon of:!lIitable al,!e ;10(1 ,Ibcretlon resldlne there.."
Further, I believe posting an Order on one's residence door, particularly in the context of serving a No
Cause Notice of Eviction or Unlawful Detainer, is only valid if the document being served is also
placed in the mail and J non judicial days are accorded for service to be complete. See NRCP 6(e).
do not believe they can prove that at all, not even close. NRCP :tpplies to Summary Eviction
Actions, according to the following:
"N RS 40.380 Provisions governing appeals. Either party may, within 10 days, :tpp.:al from the

Thecourtfinds thatdefendant'scontemptuousconductconsistedofhis rude, sarcastic,
inappropriate, insubordinate,disrespectful, antagonistic, deceitful, disruptive, argumentative
andchildishbehaviorduringtrial, all ofwhich appeared to be done to vex and annoy the

that the following occurred,and constitutecontempt: 1) defendant ' smime-like, clownish
anticsofmaking faces atthe court; saggingdown into his seatand hanging his head; looking
behind himselfand insidehis coatas ifsearchingfor abetterwayto askaquestion; rolling

repeatedl yinjecting allegationsofbri bery, perjury, and policeretaliationinto the matterafter
the court instructed hi m not to, and directed him tolimit himselfto i sues pertaining to the

ofdenyinghimthe rightorabilityto askquestionsand tellingthecourtto "give me a listof

:-\ Rer he served his live-day Contempt of Court sanction imposed by this cOLIn on
F\!bruary 27, 2012, Mr. Coughlin fax-filed to this court
l
a 224-page document entitled "Notice
of /\ppeal of Summary Contempt Order; Motion to Return Personal Property Confiscated by
Reno Municipal Court and Its Marshals; Motion for ew Trial and to Alter or Amend
Summary Contempt Order." The document purported to appeal this court's Order holding
him in direct criminal contempt. It contained a portion of one sentence on page 4 seeking a
continuance of today's hearing. but no further discussion of that topic . It also mentioned
being a "tolling" motion in an apparent afterthought. It did not address most of the other
topics listed in the caption, Instead, the document contained rambling references to his
personal life and this court's; his father's football career in college; dozens of pages of string
citations taken off the internet; documents from a prisoner online site; an article about a
"police state;" an anicle about Discovery; a website printout showing a police officer's salary;
and copy of court documents from a District of Columbia case.
It was a disjointed regurgitation of case law citations from a legal research on line si te
with little reference to, or argument about, the facts of his instant " l3oule vard Stop" traffic
case. The document was an incoherent and pathetic demonstration of what might once have
been legal and academic prowess that appears to now be greatly damaged. Mr. Coughlin 1'ax-
filed another document in which he apparently took a Motion to Proceed Informa Pauperis
(sic] in another case and typed over it "Request fo r Audio Recording of Feb n.l .lI)' 27

February 27, 20 12 disrupted Department 3 of this court and caused distress to this court and
its statT and marshals, as well as the prosecutor and the witness, and resulted in Mr. Coughlin
being held in contempt of court, his faxing and tiling of these documents greatly Jisrupted the
operation of the entire Reno Municipal Court system, including the clerk's office and the
other departments, and necessitated that action be taken by the Court Administrator and
Administrative Judge.
Apparently beginning on March 9, 2012 at 12 :3 8 p.m., Mr. Coughlin again undertook
another massive fax-filing to Reno Municipal Court. This time it was a document that was
file-stamped by the clerk on March 12, 2012 at 8: 12 a.m. This second 218-page GOCW11ent
purported to be yet another motion in this case entitled "Motion to Return Cell Phones;
Motion to Set Aside Summary Contempt Order; and Notice of Appeal of Summary Contempt
Order. " With scant discussion of, or relevance to, the above-captioned matter, saiJ document
mostly argues against Judge Howard in a Department 4 case and again contains more than
200 pages of string legal citations; lyrics to rocks songs; Mr. Coughlin's personal family
history; discussion of an eviction case and another contempt case; disjointed legal citations,
and other nonsensical matters that have no apparent relevance to his traffic citation case.
80th documents were massive and took up a great deal of time because the court had to
review them to look for some connection to the case. This court has the inherent authority to
maintain respect, order and decorum in the court, and to refuse to al low the court to be useJ
as a \chick I"or the deranged rantings ofa litigant.

aJdrcsses for him, it is unable to ascertain his exact whereabouts.He showssignsofmental
instability, ifnotserious mental illness.
Based upon the total circumstancesofthis case, the in-court performanceofthe
defendant, as observedby this court, the written documents faxed to the court for tiling by
this defendant, the statementsand behaviorofthis defendantand his overall conduct herein,
this court finds, by clearand convincingevidence, that Zachary BarkerCoughlin,an att orney
licensedto practice law in the StateofNevada, has committed numerousacts ofattorney
misconduct, including, but not limited to, violating the following Rules ofProfessional

Whetherornot there are medical reasons to explain Mr. Coughlin'sacti ons is not tor
this court to decide. He has become nothing less than avexatious litigant to Reno Municipal

beyond the pale ofanything that is civil. ethical, professional orcompetent. Good cause
appearing therefore, the courtordersas follows:
IT IS ORDERED that this matteris continued,and all proceedingsrelating thereto are
tolled. until further orderofthis court, while the matterofartomeyZachary BarkerCoughlin
is referred to the State BarofNevada;

Office, or the clerksorstaffofReno Municipal Court, in the above-entitledcase, pending

emaili ng, delivering, havingdelivered. serving. presenting for tiling, personallyorotherwi se.

Re: Zach Coughlin
I, Scott Coppa ,Marshal of Reno Municipal Court, a court oflaw organized,
incorporated or existing under the laws of the City of Reno,
and with its principal business located at: 1 South Sierra Street, Reno. NY 89501.
Being duly sworn, do depose and say:
On March 22, 2012, approximately 1055 hrs, I (Marshal Scott Coppa) was notified
by central control to respond to Donna Ballard desk in reference to a Defendant
Zachary Coughlin.
Both Marshal Thompson and I met with Miss Ballard at her desk. She informed us
Coughlin has been at Daniel Casillas window #8 for approximately 15 minutes and
was becoming argumentative with court staff. Miss Ballard further stated the Staff
has answered all his questions as he was now becomi ng repetit ive with his
questions . At one point Coughlin demanded to have Casillas read the docket to hi m
word for word and that he was going to "depose" Miss Ballard.
Marshal Thompson and I approached Coughli n in the publi c hallway. As I
approached Coughlin I noticed that he was wearing red smi ley fa ce fl annel paj ama
bottoms and a white tee shi rt. Underneath the tee shi rt Coughli n al so had on a
dress tie and a dress shirt. I informed Coughlin all hi s quest ions have been
answered by court staff and it was time for him t o leave. Coughlin asked me " did
they tell you to tell me to leave." Coughl in then turned t o Casillas and asked if he
could talk t o him. Both Marshal Thompson and I again asked Coughl i n to leave.
Coughlin asked for our names, gathered his it ems from the counter and left the
Court.
Bot h Marshal Thompson and I made a recording of thi s event.
