CERTIFICATE AS TO RELATED CASES


In a related petition, Sheriff Joe Arpaio (Arpaio) and Chief Deputy Gerard
Sheridan (Sheridan) (especially appearing) of Arizonas Maricopa County
Sheriffs Office (MCSO) filed a petition on August 6, 2015, for writ of
mandamus for recusal of the Honorable G. Murray Snow of the U.S. District Court
for the District of Arizona (District Court). See Joseph Arpaio and Gerard
Sheridan v. U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona and Manuel de Jesus
Ortega Melendres, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Case No. 1572440. This Court apparently found that mandamus was the wrong legal means to
seek review of the serious issue of the lower courts conflict of interest and other
alleged unethical actions. Earlier, this Court had denied Appellants petition for
writ of mandamus on similar procedural grounds.

I.

ISSUES PRESENTED
A. The trial judge erred in denying Appellants motion to intervene as of
right under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) Rule 24(a) to
object to the deprivation of his property and legal rights and due process.
B. The trial judge erred in denying Appellants motion for admission of his
attorney, Jonathon Moseley, pro hac vice because the instant case is not
substantially related to Sheriff Joe Arpaios lawsuit against President
Barack Obamas executive amnesty for illegal aliens. A conflict of
interest can only arise from an attorneys representation in two or more
cases if they are substantially related so that clients interests are
adverse in ways actually relevant. Parties having differences that have
absolutely nothing to do with the proceedings or legal matters do not
present a conflict of interest for legal representation.
C. The trial judge also erred in denying Appellants motion for admission of
Moseley pro hac vice by applying an erroneous rule of law merely
reciting that Moseley is involved in two different cases yet not
conducting any analysis as to whether any actual conflict exists.
D. The trial judge erred in denying Appellants motion for admission of his
attorney pro hac vice because there is no serious conflict of interest
under governing law. Montgomery asserts his total irrelevance to the
case below, he seeks to be left alone, and he merely demands the return
of and due process for his property and legal rights. Thus, Montgomerys
interests are not adverse to Arpaios interests in any way that qualifies as
serious. Montgomery has no stake in or knowledge of how Arpaios
office conducts traffic stops, investigates violations of Arizona State law
or immigration status, or evaluates probable cause. Montgomery has no
stake in whether Arpaio will or will not found be in contempt in this case.
E. The trial judge erred in not recusing himself due to the trial judges
personal conflict of interest. The trial judge was compelled to
immediately stop and refer the question of recusal to a different judge
upon the filing of Appellants affidavit under 28 U.S.C. 144, without
subjective discretion or analysis, after making his own wife a witness.
F. The trial judge erred in not recusing himself under 28 U.S.C. 455 where

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 13 of 45

a reasonable member of the public would believe there is the appearance


of a conflict of interest in Judge Snow conducting an investigation of
statements made by his own wife, his wife announced that he hates
Sheriff Arpaio and is using the case to destroy Arpaio and remove him
from office, neither have denied this, and Judge Snow refuses to exclude
the topic making his wife and himself a likely material witness. He
ordered payment of $4 million to Covington & Burling, which represents
plaintiffs in the underlying case, where his brother-in-law is a partner.

RULINGS UNDER REVIEW AND REVIEWABILITY


The Appellant appeals from the District Courts Orders of -1. July 10, 2015 (Doc. # 1167) Denying Motion For Reconsideration. ER51-58.
2. May 14, 2015 (Doc. # 1093) denying Pro Hac Vice Admission of Jonathon
Moseley Striking Putative Intervenor's Motion to Intervene and Striking
Putative Intervenor's Motion to Disqualify. ER59-62.
NOTE: The May 14, 2015, Order was without prejudice,1 explicitly
permitting Moseley to reapply. Moseley then reapplied by the May 19,
2015, Motion for Reconsideration (Doc. # 1112). ER433-476. The final
order runs for appeal from the July 10, 2015, Order denying that motion.
3. June 10, 2015 (Doc. # 1164) Denying Motion for Disqualification ER11-51.
All issues were preserved for appeal by the pleadings and are reviewable,

including in the Motion For Reconsideration ER433-476, denied July 10, 2014.

JURISDICTIONAL STATEMENT
Statutory Basis of Subject Matter Jurisdiction in District Court

The District Court had jurisdiction over this case pursuant to 28 U.S.C.
1331 as it is a controversy arising under federal law and the Constitution.

Moreover, the District Court also had jurisdiction over the issues and claims
about which the Appellant sought to intervene as supplemental jurisdiction
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1367 (Such supplemental jurisdiction shall include claims
that involve the joinder or intervention of additional parties.). The Appellant
seeks to intervene concerning matters so related to claims in the action within
such original jurisdiction that they form part of the same case or controversy under
Article III of the United States Constitution. Specifically, the Appellant seeks to
intervene concerning the presiding judges orders in proceeding about enforcement
of the main claims under federal law and the Constitution.
B.

Basis for Claiming that the Order Appealed from is Appealable

This appeal is from final orders as to the Plaintiff-Appellant which disposed


of all his claims and terminated his involvement in the case in the District Court.2
This Court has jurisdiction from the District Courts final order denying
Montgomerys motion to intervene, demand under 28 U.S.C. 144 for recusal of
the trial judge, and admission of his previous attorney pro hac vice under 28
U.S.C. 1291; See, e.g., Citizens for Balanced Use v. Montana Wilderness Ass'n,
647 F.3d 893, 896 (9th Cir. 2011) (this court has "jurisdiction over the denial of a
motion to intervene as of right as a final appealable order . . ."); Rubin v. City of

IV.

STATEMENT OF THE CASE


This case should have absolutely nothing to do with Dennis L. Montgomery.

Prior to April 23, 2015, Montgomery had never been involved in or mentioned in
this litigation. He has never been named or served as a party, witness, or played in
any other role. Montgomery has no expertise in, knowledge of, or involvement in
illegal immigration, immigration enforcement, border security, law enforcement
issues, the proper way to conduct traffic stops, or when there is probable cause.
This case was filed December 12, 2007, alleging that Plaintiff Manuel
Melendres was detained in a traffic stop because of his Hispanic ancestry under
suspicion of illegal immigration status. The case concerned when the Maricopa
County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) regardless of who is its Sheriff has
authority to detain persons either on suspicion of violating Arizona State law
and/or to investigate their immigration status, and whether traffic stops and
enforcement were targeted based on race. But when the case was filed, MCSO had
authority to enforce the nations immigration laws under the so-called 287(g)
program. During the lawsuit, in 2009, the Department of Homeland Security
terminated its 287(g) agreement with MCSO. As a result, the case below wrestled
with under what circumstances of probable cause MCSO may detain persons.
None of this has the remotest relevance to Dennis Montgomery. The case

(17 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 17 of 45

ended on October 2, 2013, by a final order labeled as Supplemental Permanent


Injunction/Judgment Order. (Docs. # 606, 670.) Now, the case is in postjudgment proceedings of contempt. On May 8, 2014, MCSOs Deputy Ramon
Armendariz killed himself. The Plaintiffs allege that the traffic stop videos found
in his house revealed that the injunction was not being fully implemented.3
But, suddenly, on April 23, 2015, Judge Snow sua sponte started attacking
Montgomery in absentia by asking Sheriff Arpaio about the conspiracy theories of
a local pro-illegal immigrant rag, The Phoenix New Times.4 Montgomery learned
about these events only after the fact from a news article published April 30. 2015.
Evidentiary hearings started on April 21-24, 2015. Hearings reconvened
September 22 through 25, and September 29 through October 5, 2015.5 In every
hearing since April, Judge Snow has repeatedly made Montgomery an issue.

property, trade secrets, work product, proprietary information, intellectual


property, medical records protected by the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act, and data were seized in violation of his rights, contracts, and
privileges, and then re-distributed promiscuously to adverse attorneys and parties.
Montgomery is a complaining witness and whistleblower seeking to expose
illegal activity in the government by unconstitutional surveillance of U.S. citizens
more extensive and intrusive than the activities revealed by Edward Snowden.7
Montgomery sought help from MCSO. Montgomery states that the government
harvested private data far more extensive than telephonic metadata of
millions of people, including judges, politicians, and public officials, including
Supreme Court Justice John Roberts.8 Then, the MCSO Cold Case Posse asked
Montgomery to analyze President Barack Obamas birth certificate released in
computer form for signs of forgery or digital alteration. During this period,
Montgomery suffered a massive stroke and was for a few minutes clinically dead
on the neurosurgeons operating table. That slowed the completion of his work.

However, Montgomery entrusted MCSO with his documents, property, and


items under contractual obligations and an agreement that Montgomery retains
ownership of all of them and that these items will be preserved as confidential.
Yet Judge Snow ordered all documents and items relating to Montgomery
indiscriminately seized 9 and re-distributed.10 Judge Snow stated in open court
Montgomerys items might very well be entirely irrelevant to this case.11
As one example, on July 20, 2015, Judge Snow granted a civil motion by the
then non-party U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) for DoJ to obtain12 from the
District Court Montgomerys documents, intellectual property, and personal
property previously seized by Judge Snow from MCSO.13
These are mostly the same documents, data, and things that the U.S. District
Court for the District of Nevada had already ordered DoJ to return to Montgomery
once before. The U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada (Nevada
District) already ruled that (1) the data, documents, intellectual property, tangible
objects, and personal property at issue in this case belong to Montgomery, (2) the

government did not address whether the information was classified adequately to
support that claim, (3) the U.S. Government was required to return it all to
Montgomery, and (4) the U.S. Government had deceived that court.14
In the Nevada District, Judge Philip M. Pro upheld the order of the
Magistrate Judge on March 19, 2007,15 finding no error. Magistrate Judge Valerie
P. Cooke, issued a detailed order November 28, 2006, 16 in relation to the U.S.
Governments search warrant and illegal search and seizure of Montgomerys
records, information, and property. Magistrate Judge Cooke ordered the
Government to return to Montgomery the items that had been taken. Magistrate
Judge Cooke found that the affidavit used to justify the search warrant was false
and misleading and condemned the U.S. Courts callous disregard for
Montgomerys rights. Magistrate Judge Cooke explained the problem on pages

evidence supplied by eTreppid, and he never appeared to question


whether he had become an agent, not for the Government, but for
private interests engaged in litigation valued in millions of dollars.
The litigation that has ensued based upon the seizure of Montgomery's
property is a cautionary tale to heed the admonition that trade secrets
litigation is best left to the civil forum.
And Magistrate Judge Cooke further concluded on page 29:20 30:2 of her
Order:
The over-arching concern in this proceeding is that SA West became
an unwitting pawn in a civil dispute, and as a result of his
inexperience and lack of training, he prepared search warrant
affidavits that are riddled with incorrect statements, edited documents,
and uncorroborated conclusions, which caused this court to exercise
its formidable power to authorize the government to search
Montgomery's home and storage units.
Magistrate Judge Cooke noted in dicta that the Government did not pursue
whether Montgomerys records and documents are classified. Id., page 13:24

Motion to Intervene and Pro Hac Vice Application Denied

Judge Snow denied Montgomerys motions seeking to receive due process,


notice, and an opportunity to be heard guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment to the
Constitution concerning his property and the due process clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution.17 Significantly, no party filed any pleading
opposing Montgomerys intervention or the admission of his attorney pro hac vice.
As a result, no specific arguments, evidence, or grounds were identified or

developed in the record below to establish or clarify any grounds.


Judge Snow denied Moseleys admission pro hac vice by vaguely hinting
that apparently a conflict of interest might exist, merely because Moseley is
counsel in two lawsuits, without analyzing them.18 Montgomery argued in his
Motion for Reconsideration that no interest of any client was in conflict. 19
C.

Judge Snows Scape-Goating Montgomery is Irrelevant

Montgomery is simply irrelevant to whether MCSO implemented the 2013


injunction slowly or quickly. That irrelevance renders any conflict of interest
insubstantial, insignificant, and not the serious conflict needed to trigger
governing law. MCSO is apparently the largest Sheriffs offices in the nation,
serving 4 million Maricopa County residents. That sheer size might explain slow
implementation but Montgomery cannot explain these events. Paradoxically, the
Appellant is forced to step in to defend his interests, but preferring to be left alone.
Actually, Judge Snow is in contempt of this Court by reviewing whether
MCSO should have spent time dealing with Montgomery. This Court already
admonished Judge Snow to stop micro-managing MCSOs administration or
investigating the effectiveness of Sheriff Arpaios management by enlarging the
October 2, 2013, final order. Judge Snow, in contempt of this Court, ruled that his

Monitors would not be shackled 20 by Defendants constitutional rights.21 This


Court of Appeals previously vacated Judge Snows use of Monitors for matters,
such as management quality, that have
no bearing on the constitutional rights at stake here. We therefore
vacate these particular provisions and order the district court to
tailor them so as to address only the constitutional violations at
issue. See Milliken, 433 U.S. at 282.
Melendres v. Arpaio, Record No. 13-16285, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth
Circuit, Opinion, April 15, 2015, page 23.
But Judge Snow ordered those same Monitors to investigate whether MCSO
spent its resources well by working with Montgomery as a complaining witness.22
This is what the Ninth Circuit admonished Judge Snow to stop investigating, areas
that have no bearing on the constitutional rights at stake here. Id.

2015.23 Abruptly, on April 23, 2015, Judge Snow made himself and his wife major
topics in the litigation. Sheriff Arpaios lawyers then filed an objection to
procedures and on the last page to Judge Snow questioning Defendant Arpaio
on areas on which he did not receive prior notice.24 Judge Snow ruled that his
own questioning about the Grissom Investigation (Judge Snows wife) and the
Seattle operation (Dennis Montgomery) will not be excluded from the case.25
Over objection, Judge Snow insists upon making his own family issues in the case.
Sheriff Arpaio asked Judge Snow to exclude the topic. Judge Snow refused and
insisted upon making his wife and Montgomery parts of this case.
Karen Morris Grissom, her husband Dale, and their son Scott met Judge
Snows wife in a Someburros restaurant in Tempe, Arizona. Cheri Snow and
Karen Grissom knew each other from childhood. Cheri Snow boasted that her
husband was presiding over the trial of Sheriff Arpaio, that Judge Snow hated
Arpaio, and he will do whatever it takes to get Arpaio out of office.26 A year later,
Karen Grissom saw news reports about this case, and sent a tip to Sheriff Arpaio

over Facebook.27 Sheriff Arpaio gave the tip to his attorney, Tim Casey, who
delegated it to a private investigator,28 Don Vogel whose credibility the Plaintiffs
are depending upon to malign Defendants on another issue. (Doc. # 1052.)
Neither Judge Snow nor his wife have ever denied that she announced that
Judge Snow hates Arpaio, that Judge Snow actually hates Arpaio or that he is using
the litigation to get Arpaio removed from office.29
Rather than publicly disclosing these concerns, Sheriff Arpaios attorney
Tim Casey, was apparently afraid to challenge Judge Snow.30 Several years passed
until The Phoenix New Times printed its conspiracy theories. Then Judge Snow
asked Sheriff Arpaio about the news articles in court on April 23, 2015. Judge
Snow created a conflict of interest by not only injecting his own family into the
case but also refusing to correct his mistake when urged to.
It is highly likely that Judge Snows wife will be material witnesses:

25. The fact that Judge Snow believes that the Grissom
investigation is relevant to the contempt proceeding establishes
his spouse as a material witness. Undoubtedly, Mrs. Snow is
now a material witness in this proceeding because of Judge
Snow's injection of her and her statements in the contempt
proceedings.31
Faced with defending a client against some allegation or charge, defense
counsel would have a professional duty in zealously defending their clients to call
Cheri Snow as a witness. The rules requiring recusal do not require an absolute
certainty; only that testimony by the judges family member is reasonably likely.
Also, Judge Snows brother in law is a partner in the law firm representing
the Plaintiffs, Covington & Burling. Judge Snow considered this earlier (Doc. #
541). But, now, much more recently than that previous review, Judge Snow later
ordered taxpayers to pay over $4 million to Covington & Burling.32 This
reasonably creates a significant appearance of bias at a minimum in the view of the
public.

seizure and the distribution to others of his intellectual property, proprietary

information, technology, commercial work product, intangible property including


data, and personal property. A federal court in this Circuit has decided that the
property belongs to Montgomery and ordered the government to return the
property and items back to Montgomery once before. See, Nevada Orders, supra.
Meanwhile, the Appellant is entitled to his choice of legal counsel,
particularly where, as here, the Appellant is involved in other legal matters and
cases which must be coordinated conceptually and legally with the issues in this
case, he acted very quickly to assert his rights in this case, and the highly
controversial and high profile nature of this case makes it nearly impossible for the
Appellant to find a local attorney willing to risk involvement. Moreover, the
Appellant is in ill health, suffering from multiple strokes as a result of a brain
aneurism, and is indigent as a result of a campaign of defamation to silence him as
a whistleblower exposing government misconduct. Montgomery could not afford
to hire a local Arizona attorney rather than a public interest law firm.
A trial judge may not capriciously or arbitrarily deny an attorneys motion to
appear for a client pro hac vice where the standards have been satisfied. While he
may review an application, he may not use subjective discretion to deny it.
Here, Judge Snows decision was based upon significant errors of law.
Judge Snow merely recited that Montgomerys chosen attorney, Jonathon Moseley,
also represents Sheriff Joe Arpaio (working under Larry Klayman) in an unrelated

16

(28 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 28 of 45

matter. There, Larry Klayman as General Counsel of Freedom Watch brought a


constitutional challenge to President Barack Obamas amnesty for illegal aliens by
executive action, in which Moseley is a supporting lawyer. However, as errors of
law, Judge Snow failed to (1) identify any actual conflict of interest, (2) analyze
whether the cases are substantially related or (3) apply the legal test of whether
an asserted conflict is serious.
Finally, Judge Snow made his own wife a likely material witness in the case.
Sheriff Arpaio and MCSO objected. Judge Snow insists upon making his wifes
conversation with Karen Grissom an issue in this case, in which Cheri Snow
announced that Judge Snow hates Sheriff Arpaio and is manipulating this litigation
to get Sheriff Arpaio out of office. Neither Judge Snow nor Cheri Snow deny this.
Thus, Judge Snows own ruling categorizes the issue as material and makes his
wife a reasonably likely witness. Judge Snow must recuse himself.
VII. STANDARD OF REVIEW
This Court reviews a motion to intervene de novo, with the exception of the
timeliness prong, which we review for abuse of discretion. Sw. Ctr. for Biological
Diversity v. Berg, 268 F.3d 810, 814, 817 (9th Cir. 2001).
This Court reviews the denial of a motion for admission of an out-of-state
attorney pro hac vice for abuse of discretion, but reviews the questions of law upon
which the denial is asserted to be based de novo. Here, the denial was asserted on

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 29 of 45

the basis of legal grounds which are erroneous, which are reviewed de novo.
FRCP 24 governs intervention by additional parties in existing litigation in
the federal courts:
Rule 24. Intervention
(a) INTERVENTION OF RIGHT. On timely motion, the court must
permit anyone to intervene who:
***
(2) claims an interest relating to the property or
transaction that is the subject of the action, and is so
situated that disposing of the action may as a practical
matter impair or impede the movant's ability to protect its
interest, unless existing parties adequately represent that
interest.
(b) PERMISSIVE INTERVENTION.
(1) In General. On timely motion, the court may permit
anyone to intervene who:
***
(B) has a claim or defense that shares with the main
action a common question of law or fact.
VIII. ARGUMENT
A.

District Court Erred Denying Montgomerys Motion To


Intervene

The District Court erred by denying Montgomerys motion to intervene.


Judge Snow made it clear that he opposed the motion independently of admitting
Montgomerys attorney: even if I admit him pro hac vice, we still have to then
deal with his motion to intervene, which strikes me, as I said, to be a little bit
problematic, anyway. See, Transcript, May 14, 2015, 34:15-20. ER734.

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 30 of 45

Yet the Court has permitted 19 interested parties to participate in the case,
who are not formal parties. See, Certificate, supra. Having allowed 19 non-parties
to participate, intervention by Montgomery should obviously have been granted.
The U.S. Government admits that they do not know if they own any of the
documents, items, or things seized from MCSO. The DoJ attorney, Raphael
Gomez, admitted in open Court on July 20, 2015:
The United States does not know whether there are any
documents in the Montgomery files that are in fact classified or
sensitive, but there is a representation that there were
documents that were of the United States.
Transcript, July 20, 2015, Status Conference, Melendres v. Arpaio, Page 43
(Emphases added) (argument by Raphel Gomez for the DoJ). ER792.
MR. GOMEZ: Yes, Your Honor. I believe on May 8th the
Court had issued an order to the defendants' counsel
instructing the defendants' counsel to contact the United
States; actually, the CIA general counsel's office. At that
point, we -- I'm an attorney in the Civil Division of the
Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., and we were
contacted, and pursuant to that instruction we had spoken to
defendants' counsel, and with the purpose of, since there had
been a representation made that documents contained in what
I'll refer to as the Montgomery documents were either
documents of the United States or documents that -- implied
were classified or sensitive.
Transcript, July 20, 2015, Status Conference, Melendres v. Arpaio, Page 42
(Emphases added). ER791.
Judge Snow ordered Montgomerys items to be handed over to the DoJ on
the off-chance and mere possibility that they might include government

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 31 of 45

documents. This is the same callous disregard for his rights that the Honorable
Phillip Pro and Magistrate Valerie Cooke condemned in the Nevada Orders, supra.
B.

Standing Of Montgomery To Intervene As Of Right

Pursuant to FRCP 24(a)(2), Montgomery has a right to intervene as of


right. Montgomerys motion is timely. The case started to involve Montgomery
only in late April of 2015. Montgomery filed his motion within two weeks.
Montgomery complied with FRCP 24(c) with notice and a proposed pleading.
Montgomery has a personal stake in this matter in which his property has
been seized by verbal order on April 23, 2015, and by Judge Snows written Order,
April 27, 2015, (Doc. # 1033), ER123. Federal courts in this Circuit have already
decided with appeal rights expired that the items are Montgomerys property.
C.

District Court Erred Denying Motion Of Montgomerys Attorney


To Be Admitted Pro Hac Vice To Case

The District Court erred in denying the motion of Montgomerys attorney to


appear pro hac vice. Montgomery has a right to choose attorneys whom he
believes will be knowledgeable enough of his circumstances to represent him
effectively and meaningfully, whom he can afford, and who will protect his rights
on other topics that may be affected.
But here, especially, Montgomery would suffer unusual hardship.
Montgomery is both indigent and medically disabled, perhaps terminally ill. He

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 32 of 45

could not afford regular counsel. Also, the litigation is controversial and political,
so that it would be extremely difficult to find a local lawyer whose livelihood
depends upon regularly appearing before Judge Snow to defend Montgomery
against this rush to judgment.
A person is entitled to his choice of counsel, including an attorney appearing
pro hac vice: A defendant's right to the counsel of his choice includes the right to
have an out-of-state lawyer admitted pro hac vice. U.S. v. Lillie, 989 F.2d 1054,
1056 (9th Cir. 1993); see also Panzardi-Alvarez v. U.S., 879 F.2d 975, 980 (1st
Cir. 1989) ("[A] decision denying a pro hac vice admission necessarily implicates
constitutional concerns."), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 1082, 110 S. Ct. 1140, 107 L.
Ed. 2d 1045 (1990). A persons right to retain counsel of his choice therefore
represents 'a right of constitutional dimension' U.S. v. Cunningham, 672 F.2d

Attorneys are not fungible and often the most important decision a
defendant makes in shaping his defense is his selection of an attorney. U.S. v.

Laura, 607 F.2d 52, 56 (3d Cir.1979); Nichols, 841 F.2d at 1502; Glasser v.
U.S., 315 U.S. 60, 75, 62 S.Ct. 457, 467, 86 L.Ed. 680 (1942).
Judge Snow denied Moseleys application to be admitted pro hac vice on
unsupported speculation that there could be a conflict of interest. But the record
does not contain any basis for disqualification. Moseley filed a Clarification of
Motion for Admittance Pro Hac Vice of Jonathon A. Moseley, dated May 13,
2015, (Doc. # 1080), ER466, 33 stating that (emphasis added):
Neither Dennis L. Montgomery nor his counsel are adverse to
Sheriff Arpaio, his deputies, the Cold Case Posse, or MCSO in
any respect, particularly since this case involves a contempt
proceeding over allegations of profiling illegal immigrants.
No party has moved for disqualification of Moseley as counsel for
Montgomery, so no facts have been entered in the record to establish any conflict.
Simply reciting that Moseley represents Arpaio in an unrelated matter does
not establish any conflict of interest. Disqualification applies where serious
conflict exists. See Dunton v. County of Suffolk, 729 F.2d 903, 909 (2d
Cir.1984), amended 748 F.2d 69 (2d Cir.1984). The proponent of disqualification
must demonstrate the existence of a conflict of interest which is serious.
Failing to follow the law of this Circuit, Judge Snow merely suggested that
Sheriff Arpaio and MCSO staff when compelled to do so by Judge Snows
33

29, 2015, Exhibit 2, to Plaintiffs' Opposition to Motion for Admission Pro Hac

persistent questioning sua sponte described dissatisfaction with the results found
by Montgomerys research.
Mere differences of opinion particularly when the trial judge compels one
person against their will to speak ill of another do not establish a conflict of
interest within attorney-client representation. The law considers conflicting
interests, not mere differences of opinion.
Furthermore, Judge Snows analysis is hopelessly inadequate and
inconsistent with the facts. There is nothing in the record to clarify whether
Montgomery did not find information satisfactory to Sheriff Arpaio because there
was nothing to be found, no matter how well Montgomery did his work, if Sheriff
Arpaio and Montgomery were confused about, misunderstood or disagreed about
the task each thought Montgomery was supposed to be working on, or if there were
miscommunications through MCSO ranks. Judge Snow forcing Sheriff Arpaio to
opine on Montgomerys work does not create a conflict of interest, certainly not
without clarification and exploration of what that meant.
D.

The Two Lawsuits Are Not Related, And There Is No Conflict Of


Interest
The relevant test for disqualification is whether the other representation is

substantially related to the current representation. See Gas-A-Tron of Arizona v.


Union Oil Co. of California, 534 F.2d 1322, 1325 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 429

23

(35 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 35 of 45

U.S. 861, 97 S.Ct. 164, 50 L.Ed.2d 139 (1976). A substantial relationship is


found if the factual contexts of the two representations are similar or related.
Trone v. Smith, 621 F.2d 994 (C.A.9 (Cal.), 1980) (emphasis added).
We held that the "relevant test for disqualification is whether
the former representation is 'substantially related' to the
current representation."
Id. at 998; see Gas-A-Tron of
Arizona, supra, 534 F.2d at 1325; Westinghouse Electric Co.
v.
Gulf Oil Corp., 588 F.2d 221, 223 (CA7 1978).
"Substantiality is present if the factual contexts of the two
representations are similar or related." Trone, supra, 621
F.2d at 998.
Trust Corp. of Montana v. Piper Aircraft Corp., 701 F.2d 85 (C.A.9 (Mont.),
1983) (Emphases added).
But, here, the the factual contexts of the two representations are not
similar or related. Id. Representation of Montgomery in the current case shares
no operative facts nor factual circumstances in common with Arpaios challenge to
the constitutionality of Obamas executive order on amnesty for illegal aliens.
Moreover, the complete irrelevance of Montgomery to the lawsuit even
though he is being harmed in fact destroys any claim of a conflict of interest.
Disqualification applies where serious conflict exists. Dunton v.
County of Suffolk, supra. There can be no serious conflict on matters which are
completely immaterial in the case. Since nothing concerning Montgomery is
material in Melendres v. Arpaio, nothing concerning Montgomery can be the basis

24

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 36 of 45

of a serious conflict of interest in this case.


As a result, there is no conflict of interest between Moseleys
representation of Montgomery pro hac vice in this case and his representation
(working under Larry Klayman) for Sheriff Joe Arpaio contesting the legal validity
of President Barack Obamas executive grant of amnesty to illegal aliens.
E.

District Court Erred Denying Montgomerys Motion For Recusal

The Court erred by denying Montgomerys motion for recusal. Montgomery


filed his affidavit under 28 U.S.C. 144 as Exhibit 2 (Doc. # 1067-2), ER597, to
his Intervenor Dennis L. Montgomerys Motion to Disqualify Judge G. Murray
Snow Under 28 U.S.C. 144 Motion for Recusal, in which he also claimed
additional grounds requiring recusal of Judge Snow under 28 U.S.C. 455.
Montgomery relied upon the legal opinion of Professor Ronald Rotunda, a
renowned expert on Professional Responsibility and Constitutional Law, attached
as Exhibit 1; ER578. Montgomerys affidavit compelled Judge Snow to proceed
no further in the case and requires another judge shall be assigned to hear such
proceeding, without subjective analysis or discretion under 28 U.S.C. 144:
Whenever a party to any proceeding in a district court makes
and files a timely and sufficient affidavit that the judge before
whom the matter is pending has a personal bias or prejudice
either against him or in favor of any adverse party, such judge
shall proceed no further therein, but another judge shall be
assigned to hear such proceeding. The affidavit shall state the
facts and the reasons for the belief that bias or prejudice

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 37 of 45

exists.
A judges impartiality might reasonably be questioned by the public where
the judges wife volunteers that the judge hates the defendant and will do anything
to remove him from office34 and neither the judge nor his wife have denied it,
sought to explain the admission, nor apologized.
Moreover, Judge Snow has personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary
facts concerning the proceeding. Judge Snow will have or already does have a
private explanation from his own wife of these disputed facts and events.
Any competent and uncompromised defense attorney must call Judge Snow
and his wife as witnesses in order to present a thorough defense to whatever
charges Judge Snow plans to bring. Judge Snow is likely to preside over testimony
and cross-examination of his own wife,35 who will be testifying about him.
And Judge Snow ordered $4 million of taxpayer funds paid to Covington &
Burling where his brother-in-law is a partner.36 The public would reasonably
question a judges impartiality after ordering $4 million paid to the law firm.
The demands for recusal are timely. Most of the circumstances requiring
recusal were created by Judge Snow himself starting only on April 23, 2015.

The courts strive to eliminate even the appearance of bias. Thus even if
there is no bias in fact, an appearance of bias or prejudice requires recusal if it is
sufficient to raise a question in the mind of 'the average citizen' about a judge's
impartiality. York v. United States, 785 A.2d 651, 655 (D.C. 2001). "A judge
should disqualify himself in a proceeding in which his impartiality might
reasonably be questioned. . . ." ABA Code Of Judicial Conduct Canon 3(C)(1) see
also Scott v. United States, 559 A.2d 745, 750 (D.C. 1989) (en banc).
An impartial judiciary is a fundamental component in any proceeding, is
protected by the Constitution. Ward v. City of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57, 61-62
(1972). See also Marshall v. Jerrico, Inc., 446 U.S. 238, 243 (1980).
Disqualification or recusal is required when there is even the appearance that
"could suggest, to an outside observer, such a 'high degree of favoritism or
antagonism' to defendants' position that 'fair judgment is impossible.' Liteky v.
United States, 510 U.S. 540, 555, 127 L. Ed. 2d 474, 114 S. Ct. 1147 (1994)); See
also Jackson v. Microsoft Corp., 135 F. Supp. 2d 38, 40 (D.D.C. 2001) (recusal
required on an appearance of personal bias or prejudice).
The disqualification statute, 28 U.S.C. 144, is mandatory and
automatic, requiring only a timely and sufficient affidavit alleging
personal bias or prejudice of the judge. The judge is a silent
defendant, unable to make findings on the truth or falsity of the
affiant's allegations, and truth must be presumed. United States v.
Hanrahan, 248 F. Supp. 471, 474 (D.D.C. 1965)(Emphasis
added); and the allegations may be based upon information and

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 39 of 45

belief, Berger v. United States, 255 U.S. 22, 34, 65 L. Ed. 481, 41 S.
Ct. 230 (1920).
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen & Enginemen v. Bangor & Aroostook
Railroad Co., 380 F.2d 570, 576 (D.C. 1967).
Under 455(a), a judge must recuse himself if a reasonable person with
knowledge of all the facts would conclude that his impartiality might reasonably be
questioned. U.S. v. Nelson, 718 F .2d 315, 321 (9th Cir. 1983).
Further, the Supreme Court has held that a violation of section 455(a) occurs
even if a judge is unaware of the circumstance that created the appearance of
impropriety. In Liljeberg v. Health Services Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 847
(1988), the trial judge was on the board of trustees of a university that had a
financial interest in the litigation, of which he was unaware. The court of appeals
vacated the judgment, and the Supreme Court agreed. Because the purpose is to
promote public confidence, the Court observed that recusal does not depend upon
whether or not the judge actually knew of facts creating an appearance of
impropriety, so long as the public might reasonably believe that he or she knew.
Close questions should be decided in favor of recusal. See Republic of Pan.
v. American Tobacco Co., 217 F.3d 343, 347 (5th Cir. 2000); In re United States,
158 F.3d 26, 30 (1st Cir. 1998); Nichols v. Alley, 71 F.3d 347, 352 (10th Cir. 1995);
U.S. v. Dandy, 998 F.2d 1344, 1349 (6th Cir. 1993); U.S. v. Kelly, 888 F.2d 732,
744 (11th Cir. 1989).

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-1, Page 40 of 45

In SCA Servs. v. Morgan, 557 F.2d 110 (7th Cir. 1977), the judge's brother
was an attorney in the firm appearing before the judge. This appearance of
partiality begins with the natural assumption that brothers enjoy a close personal
and family relationship and, consequently, would be inclined to support each
other's interests. [T]he belief may arise in the public's mind that the brother's
firm and its clients will receive favored treatment. Id. at 116.
Also on point is In re Aetna Casualty & Surety Co., 919 F.2d 1136 (6th Cir.
1990), where the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, sitting en banc,
required recusal. The trial judges daughters law firm represented four of seven
claimants. The judge separated the cases to try only the three claims in which his
daughters firm was not involved. On mandamus, the court reversed because the
cases remained intimately connected. Further, 28 U.S.C. 455 requires:
(a) Any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall
disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might
reasonably be questioned.
(b) He shall also disqualify himself in the following circumstances:
(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a
party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts
concerning the proceeding;
***
(5) He or his spouse, or a person within the third degree of
relationship to either of them, or the spouse of such a

Also, the Code of Conduct for United States Judges CANON 2 requires:

The Court held a hearing on July 24, 2015 in which certain documents or tangible

17

things were discussed that were the subject of previous Orders by this Court and had not

18

yet been disclosed to the parties or the Monitor by the Defendants. The Court ordered

19

these documents, as specifically identified, to be turned over to the custody of the United

20

States Marshal for the District of Arizona. Three specific Departmental Record numbers

21

were identified that either involved identifications, seized by the Defendants that may

22

belong to members of the Plaintiff class, or that may contain materials associated with the

23

Montgomery investigation.

Pending before the Court is the Motion for Recusal/Motion for Disqualification

filed on May 22, 2015 by Defendant Joseph M. Arpaio and non-party contemnor Gerard

19

Sheridan pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 144 and 455. (Doc. 1117.) Along with their Motion,

20

Movants1 have submitted an affidavit by Sheriff Arpaio as required by 144, as well as

21

supporting exhibits and certifications from counsel.

In April, the Court began the first phase of civil contempt proceedings against

For clarity, the Court will refer to Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridan as
Movants in relation to their pending Motion, and use Defendants when referencing
the parties named in the underlying action, Sheriff Arpaio and Maricopa County/the
Maricopa County Sheriffs Office. Neither Maricopa County, MCSO, nor the other
named civil contemnors in this actionExecutive Chief (retired) Brian Sands, Deputy
Chief John MacIntyre, and Lieutenant Joseph Sousahave joined the Motion for
Recusal, or otherwise taken a position on its merits. (See Docs. 1129, 1135, 1137.)

Courts orders, entered both before and after trial. Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy

Sheridan have admitted the facts charged in the Order to Show Cause and have consented

to the Courts entering a finding of civil contempt against them, although issues remain

about the appropriate scope of remedies for their violations. The evidentiary hearings on

contempt were slated to resume in June but have been postponed pending the resolution

of the instant Motion.

The proposed bases on which the Motion is predicated are legally insufficient and

untimely. Further, to the extent that Movants, by their own actions, created the

circumstances on which they now seek the Courts recusal, they have improperly

10

attempted to invoke the recusal provisions for strategic purposes. For these reasons, more

11

fully explained below, Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridans Motion is denied.
BACKGROUND

12
13

This case has a lengthy procedural history; the following limited facts provide

14

context for the grounds on which Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridan have moved

15

for recusal.

16

Over two years ago, the Court ruled that Sheriff Arpaio and MCSO had violated

17

the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights of the Plaintiff class and entered associated

18

injunctive relief. (Doc. 579.) For the past year and a half, a Monitor has been involved in

19

supervising and assessing Defendants implementation of the injunction and reporting to

20

the Court on MCSOs ongoing compliance.2 (See Doc. 649.) Since his appointment, the

21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28

The Monitors position is outlined in the Supplemental Permanent Injunction.


Defendants appealed the injunction to the Ninth Circuit, which affirmed all provisions
except those that permitted the Monitor to consider MCSOs discipline for any
violations of departmental policy as well as whether any deputies are repeatedly the
subject of Complaints, civil suits, or criminal charges, including for off-duty conduct.
Melendres v. Arpaio, 784 F.3d 1254, 1267 (9th Cir. 2015) (quoting Doc. 606 at 53). The
Ninth Circuit reasoned that not every instance of officer misconduct bear[s] on the
constitutional rights at stake here, and directed that the injunction be clarified to relate to
the constitutional violations found by the Court. Id. The mandate from the Ninth Circuit
issued the day before this Order was filed. (Doc. 1163.) Thus, the Court shall more
narrowly define the aspects of MCSOs internal affairs processes that the Monitor may
consider so that they are clearly tailored to addressing the violations of federal law at
issue in this case and matters related thereto.

Court has adjusted the Monitors responsibilities in response to various issues presented

by Defendants actions.

On motion by Plaintiffs, in February the Court ordered the Sheriffs Office, Sheriff

Arpaio, Chief Deputy Sheridan, and others in MCSOs chain of command to show cause

why they should not be held in contempt for violating (1) the December 23, 2011

preliminary injunction; (2) their pre-trial discovery obligations under the Federal Rules of

Civil Procedure; and (3) the Courts orders at a sealed hearing directing Defendants to

cooperate with the Monitor in developing a protocol to recover audio/video recordings of

traffic stops that were not disclosed during discovery. (Doc. 880.) The Order to Show

10

Cause charged the named contemnors with civil contempt only.3 (Doc. 880 at 79.)

11

Sheriff Arpaio was noticed on all three matters; Chief Deputy Sheridan was implicated in

12

the first and the third.

13

The charges in the Order to Show Cause resulted from materials MCSO had

14

posthumously found in the home of Deputy Charley Armendariz as well as from

15

MCSOs ensuing administrative investigations into Armendariz, his supervisors, and his

16

former patrol division.4 The Monitor was responsible for evaluating the sufficiency of

17

these investigations, which revealed that Defendants had failed to disclose a considerable

18

quantity of relevant evidence during pre-trial discovery. Because of Defendants

19

omission, Plaintiffs were precluded from admitting the evidence in support of their case-

See United States v. Rylander, 714 F.2d 996, 1001 (9th Cir. 1983) (explaining
that it would usually be wiser to try the civil and criminal charges separately in light of
the additional safeguards applicable only to criminal proceedings). The Court has noted
that if a criminal contempt prosecution proves necessary to vindicate its authority after
the civil contempt hearing, it will refer such proceedings to another judge. (See Tr. of
Mar. 20, 2015 Status Conf. 61:2362:2, Doc. 965.)
4

Some of the evidence, such as the traffic stop recordings, was plainly requested
by Plaintiffs during discovery but was never identified nor produced by Defendants.
Other evidence suggested that members of the Plaintiff class may have been subjected to
additional routine constitutional infringements other than those that were addressed in the
underlying trial. The evidence also revealed that Defendants, as a matter of regular
practice and operation, had actively enforced federal immigration law and detained
persons after officers concluded that there was no legal justification for such detention for
at least seventeen months after the Court prohibited these practices in the preliminary
injunction. (Tr. Nov. 20, 2014 Status Conf. 67:1022, Doc. 804.)

in-chief and uncovering the additional constitutional violations likely suffered by the

Plaintiff class before trial. Further, the Court did not have the evidence to consider when

making findings of fact and conclusions of law concerning what defects in MCSOs

operations and procedures had led to the deprivation of Plaintiffs rights, nor when

fashioning supplemental injunctive relief to remedy those defects. (See, e.g., Tr. of Sept.

10, 2013 Status Conf. 89:2191:23 (declining to incorporate Plaintiffs suggestions

regarding the inadequacy of MCSOs existing internal investigative practices into the

Supplemental Permanent Injunction due to the lack of evidence presented at trial on that

issue).) As a result of these revelations and procedural inadequacies in MCSOs self-

10

investigative processes that had been noted by the Monitor,5 the Court authorized

11

members of the monitoring team to conduct independent inquiries into the Armendariz

12

materials in addition to supervising those undertaken by MCSO and its Professional

13

Standards Bureau (PSB). This authorization was to allow the Monitor to assess whether

14

Defendants implementation of the Courts orders and responsiveness to the Armendariz

15

evidence promoted the constitutional and professional treatment of the Plaintiff class by

16

MCSO. (Doc. 795 at 1621, amended by Doc. 825 (following input by the parties).)

17

In the Order to Show Cause, the Court remarked that crafting suitable civil relief

18

for each of the grounds on which contempt is charged [would] be of chief interest to the

19

Court if Defendants, or their subordinates, [we]re ultimately adjudged to be in contempt

20

of court. (Doc. 880 at 25.) Prior to and throughout the contempt proceedings, the Court

21

reiterated its expectation that the parties would develop an evidentiary record sufficient

22

for the Court to fashion an appropriate remedy for members of the Plaintiff class whose

23

rights were impaired by the contemnors violations of the Courts orders and rules. (See,

24

e.g., Tr. of Mar. 20, 2015 Status Conf. 2:26, 11:612, 12:2125, 13:121, Doc. 965; Tr.

1043; Doc. 1007 at 12.) Such a remedy would both compensate those individuals

specifically harmed by Defendants noncompliance and also provide relief for possible

system wide deficiencies, relief to which Plaintiffs may have been entitled after trial but

for Defendants discovery violations.

Approximately one month before the scheduled hearing, Sheriff Arpaio and Chief

Deputy Sheridan filed an Expedited Motion to Vacate the hearing. (Doc. 948.) Movants

admitted to being in civil contempt on the charges in the Order to Show Cause and

suggested possible remedial measures. (Id.) Plaintiffs opposed the Motion because it did

not specify how the admitted violations of the Courts orders had occurred, nor did it

10

resolve all outstanding questions involving the appropriateness and feasibility of the

11

proposed remedies. (See Doc. 952.) At the next status conference, the Court encouraged

12

the parties to pursue settlement while advising that any remedies would need to

13

adequately compel Movants compliance with the Courts orders going forwardin

14

addition to any compensatory elementbefore the Court would approve the terms. (Tr.

15

of Mar. 20, 2015 Status Conf. 38:1242:18, Doc. 965.) In the end, negotiations with

16

Plaintiffs were unsuccessful. (See Doc. 1005 at 1.) A representative of the United States

17

Attorneys Office for the District of Arizona also declined, citing departmental policy, to

18

participate in any pre-referral settlement of criminal contempt with the contemnors.6

19

(Doc. 924; Tr. of Feb. 26, 2015 Status Conf. 35:716, Doc. 926.) The Court thus denied

20

the motion without prejudice, as well as Movants renewed Motion to Vacate that was

21

substantively identical to the first. (Docs. 1003, 1007.)

22

Although the Court had ordered expedited discovery in advance of the scheduled

23

hearings on contempt, (Doc. 881), this discovery was inhibited by Defendants delays in

members of MCSO. (Doc. 797 at 2; Tr. of Dec. 4, 2014 Status Conf. 5:48, Doc. 817.)

information pertaining to ongoing internal investigations, and inadequate document

search and retrieval protocols. Consequently, Defendants had not disclosed the complete

catalog of documents responsive to Plaintiffs discovery requests by the beginning of the

April hearings.8 (Docs. 995, 1002, 1013; Tr. 16:1419:1.)

At the show-cause hearing, the Court noted that it would participate in questioning

witnesses, as it had done at trial. Nevertheless, the Court invited counsel to freely object

during its examination of the witnesses,9 and counsel did, in turn, successfully raise

objections. (See, e.g., Tr. 626:1824 (Ms. Iafrate: Your Honor, may I object just as to

10

the way that question is worded? Could we include civil contempt? The Court:

11

Surely.); see also Tr. 985:1986:19 (objection sustained).) Movants both had civil and

12

criminal representation during the hearing.

13

Sheriff Arpaio testified under oath on the second and third days of the contempt

14

hearing. In framing its examination of Sheriff Arpaio, the Court explained that it was

15

important, from a remedial perspective, whether Sheriff Arpaios admitted contempt was

16

an isolated incident or reflected a pattern of resistance on his part or by MCSO to the

17

Courts directives. (Tr. 635:1218.) Accordingly, the Court questioned Sheriff Arpaio on

For example, Defendants initially indicated that all internal investigations arising
out of the Armendariz matter would be completed by March 13, 2015. (Doc. 864.)
Defendants subsequently postponed the deadline for completing these investigations until
April 13 and, again, until May 18. (Docs. 923, 1052.) The investigations have still not
been completed. As a consequence of these delays, the Monitor was unable to make
outcome assessments and recommendations based on MCSOs handling of the
Armendariz investigations before the April hearings.

Defendants insufficient efforts to locate and produce the documents responsive


to Plaintiffs discovery request also led to the scheduling of the additional proceedings
that were supposed to begin in June.

specially appearing counsel could object where necessary to protect contemnors criminal
interests, even in the civil proceeding); Tr. 965:411 (In all seriousness, Ms. Iafrate, I

aspects of MCSOs internal investigations that had previously raised concerns for the

Court and the Monitor about the integrity of those investigations, such as MCSOs

apparent reluctance to mete out punishment for violations of department policy and this

Courts orders. Sheriff Arpaio acknowledged that, although MCSOs failure to comply

with a court order is a pretty big deal, he had taken no action to hold anyone

responsible for the violations of the Preliminary Injunction or the Courts May 14

instructions. (Tr. 628:2029:1, 633:1219, 635:1922.) The Court also inquired about the

reassignment of Captain Steven Bailey from the command of the Special Investigations

Division (SID)which was responsible for the unit to which Deputy Armendariz was

10

assigned and that had been responsible for many of the constitutional violations found at

11

trialto the PSB at the time when the Human Smuggling Unit was under investigation

12

by the PSB because of the Armendariz materials. (Tr. 637:1938:1, 638:2540:12.) The

13

Monitor had previously identified this as a potential conflict of interest, which led to

14

MCSOs appointment of an independent contractor named Don Vogel to oversee the

15

two principal Armendariz-related investigations being conducted by MCSO. (See Tr.

16

979:2480:12.)

17

Sheriff Arpaio went on to confirm that, in addition to overseeing the Human

18

Smuggling Unit, the SID was also responsible for investigations that involved

19

confidential informants, and that someone in the SID chain of command would have been

20

responsible for approving payments to confidential sources during Captain Baileys

21

tenure there. (Tr. 642:314.) The Court then produced an article published in the Phoenix

22

New Times on June 4, 2014, the approximate time of Captain Baileys transfer to PSB.

23

(Tr. 642:1743:3.) The Court invited Sheriff Arpaio and all counsel to take a minute to

24

read the article, which alleged that MCSO was paying a confidential informant from

25

Seattle, Washington named Dennis Montgomery to investigate possible collusion

26

between this Court and the United States Department of Justice. (Tr. 643:1417.) Sheriff

27

Arpaio confirmed the existence of an investigation being conducted by MCSO, the

28

Maricopa County Sheriffs Cold Case Posse, and Mr. Montgomery, but repudiated the

articles implication that what Montgomery was actually doing was investigating [the

Court]. (Tr. 647:412.) The Court directed Defendants to preserve and immediately

produce all documents implicated by Sheriff Arpaios testimony, subject to a

contemporaneous review for privilege by counsel. (Tr. 653:1825.)

Defense counsel initiated the questioning on this matter when Chief Deputy

Sheridan took the stand the following day, which was supplemented with a handful of

follow-up inquiries by the Court. (Tr. 958:967:10.) At the end of Chief Deputy

Sheridans testimony, three separate attorneys who presently or formerly represented

Sheriff Arpaio noted an ethical obligation to correct aspects of his testimony from the

10

previous day. They have since made a variety of disclosures in fulfillment of their duty to

11

act with candor toward the tribunal, including the submission of a November 8, 2013

12

letter/investigative summary from Movants then-attorney to Sheriff Arpaio, which was

13

copied to Chief Deputy Sheridan and others at the MCSO. (Tr. 101934; see also Docs.

14

1040, 1044, 1053.) From Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridans testimony and the

15

corrective disclosures provided by former defense counsel, it is now apparent that Sheriff

16

Arpaio in fact testified as to two investigations with a possible connection to the Court.

17

The first, the Montgomery matter, was the topic of the New Times article and the

18

subject of the Courts examination. In approximately September 2013 MCSO apparently

19

hired Dennis Montgomery, a computer consultant based out of Seattle, Washington. (Tr.

20

960:914, 1006:24, 1007:2108:2.) Montgomery was given the status of an MCSO

21

confidential informant. (Tr. 998:1214, 1006:1016.) According to Movants,

22

Montgomery represented to MCSO that he was in possession of a large number of

23

documents he had obtained while employed by the United States Central Intelligence

24

Agency that the CIA had harvested from American citizens. (Tr. 1000:218.) Sheriff

25

Arpaio characterized Mr. Montgomerys investigation as pertaining to whether

26

someone had infiltrated Movants phone lines and the phones and e-mail accounts of

27

various local attorneys and judges connected to Defendants, including this Court. (Tr.

28

649:1450:6, 652:1153:8.) Chief Deputy Sheridan reiterated that Mr. Montgomery had

made allegations that the CIA hacked into individual bank accounts of county

residents, (Tr. 960:1113, 1004:911), and that he, Sheriff Arpaio, and the two law firms

representing Defendants in a related lawsuit brought against the MCSO by the

Department of Justice had been the subject of a secret wiretap by the government. (Tr.

999:161000:6.) At some point during Montgomerys investigation, Chief Deputy

Sheridan was informed that Montgomery had evidence of a communication sent by the

DOJ to the Courts computer. (Tr. 1000:1214). Sheridan testified that he ordered the

MCSO personnel working on the project not to investigate any information involving

Judge Snow, and that [i]f any further information comes up, [he] want[ed] to know

10

immediately. (Tr. 1003:1219.) He further testified that, after he issued this instruction,

11

nothing further ever did materialize. (Tr. 1003:1929.)

12

Sheriff Arpaio avowed that nothing gleaned from Montgomery gave him any

13

concern that the Courts judgment or neutrality in this case might be affected, (Tr.

14

652:1618), and Chief Deputy Sheridan similarly confirmed that there was really

15

nothing [in the information from Montgomery] to think that there was any collusion

16

between this Court and the Department of Justice. (Tr. 1003:12.) Movants both declare

17

that MCSO eventually concluded that Montgomery had made false representations

18

regarding his work product, and that they have no confidence in Montgomery or his

19

allegations; they were junk. (Id. at 650:1825, 961:111.)

20

Documents pertaining to the Montgomery investigation that were subsequently

21

disclosed pursuant to this Courts orders, however, call into question the version of

22

events testified to by Movants. Some of these documents have been filed by Plaintiffs in

23

their Response to this Motion. (Doc. 1150, Aff. of Cecilia Wang, Exs. BF (available at

24

Doc. 1153).) Although the body of documents produced has not yet been reviewed in

25

full, and the Monitor has made document requests of the County that remain pending, at

least some of the materials dofalselyassert the existence of telephone calls between

Courts former law clerks, dating back to before this case was assigned to the Court.10

They also appear to imply that this Court authorized a wiretap on MCSO. (See id., Ex. F

(available at Doc. 1153).) These documents and Sheriff Arpaios hearing testimony

further suggest that the same persons in charge of implementing the Courts injunctive

decree within MCSO and supervising MCSOs internal affairs processes were aware of

Mr. Montgomerys attempt to construct a conspiracy between the Court and other agents

of the federal executive branch. In addition, although Movants apparently knew by at

least November 2014 that the CIA database of documents from which Montgomery was

supposedly providing this information was fraudulent, (id., Ex. C (available at Doc.

10

1153)), the investigation was still ongoing as of the contempt proceedings (Tr. 651:24

11

52:4) and MCSO continued to press Montgomery for work-product until the day before

12

the hearings began. (Doc. 1150, Aff. of Cecilia Wang, Ex. E (available at Doc. 1153).) It

13

was after the Court noted some of the apparent inconsistencies between the documents

14

from the Montgomery investigation and Movants previous testimony, authorized the

15

Monitor to collect documents and conduct additional interviews on the matter, and

16

invited Movants to address these inconsistencies in the resumed contempt hearings, that

17

Movants filed the instant Motion.

18

The second investigation, the Grissom matter, came to light during the Courts

19

questioning of Sheriff Arpaio about the Montgomery investigation; the Court was

20

unaware of the Grissom matter until Sheriff Arpaio testified to its existence. After Sheriff

21

Arpaio denied being aware of any investigation involving the Court, he then testified as

(Tr. 647:848:3.) The Courts inquiry of Sheriff Arpaio on the Grissom matter lasted

18

only for a few minutes prior to the lunch recess. The next day, the Court asked a few

19

clarifying questions on this topic during defense counsels cross-examination of Chief

20

Deputy Sheridan. The Court asked no additional questions about a possible investigation

21

of its family members during its own colloquy with Sheridan.

22

MCSO apparently initiated the Grissom investigation after a woman named Karen

23

Grissom sent a message through Facebook.com to Sheriff Arpaio in August of 2013. Mrs.

24

Grissoms message to Sheriff Arpaio alleged that she heard this Courts wife make

remarks to the effect that [the Court] hates u [Arpaio] and will do anything to get u out

26

of office. (Doc. 1115 at 8; Doc. 1117, Ex. 5.) Mrs. Grissom attributes the statement to a

27

conversation she had with the Courts wife fourteen or fifteen months earlier at a local

28

restaurant. (Doc. 1115 at 6; Tr. 964:19.) Upon receiving the message, Sheriff Arpaio

consulted with his counsel, Timothy Casey, who initially tried to locate Mrs. Grissom and

evaluate the credibility of her story. (Doc. 1115 at 89.) Although Mrs. Grissom repeated

the supposed memory of her encounter with the Courts wife, her demeanor and general

non-responsiveness led Mr. Casey to conclude that the matter was over and that the

information from Ms. Grissom lacked substance or merit. (Id. at 9.) Mr. Casey shared

this conclusion with Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridan. (Id.)

Nevertheless, after a subsequent meeting with Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy

Sheridan, Mr. Casey retained Don Vogelthe independent contractor to whom the

principal Armendariz investigations were later outsourced by MCSOin October 2013

10

to further investigate Mrs. Grissoms allegations. (Id. at 10; Tr. 966:23, 2123.) In the

11

interviews Mr. Vogel subsequently conducted with Mrs. Grissom and her family, all

12

corroborated that Mrs. Grissom had met with a woman at this particular restaurant who

13

had implied harboring negative feelings toward Sheriff Arpaio. (Doc. 1115 at 1011; Tr.

14

967:1768:2.) However, they were generally unable to remember the details of the

15

conversation. (Doc. 1115 at 1011.) There were also inconsistencies in the Grissoms

16

recounting of the statement pertaining to Sheriff Arpaio supposedly made by the woman

17

in the restaurant. (Id.) According to counsel, Mr. Vogel found the Grissoms sincere and

18

truthful in their statements about what they believe they heard from Mrs. Snow. (Id. at

19

6.) Nevertheless, at the conclusion of Mr. Vogels investigation, Mr. Casey made the

20

following determination: [T]he Grissom information is, in my judgment, so

21

fundamentally flawed in its substance that it likely cannot be used in a Rule 60 motion,

22

appeal, or otherwise without the lawyer doing so violating the Federal Rules of Civil

23

Procedure and the Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct. (Id. at 7, 1819.) Mr. Casey

24

recommend[ed] and strongly advise[d] Sheriff Arpaio against any use of the Grissom

25

information. (Id. (emphasis in original).)

26

Despite their hearing testimony that the investigator allegedly found the Grissoms

27

stories credible, Chief Deputy Sheridan stated that nothing came of the Grissom

28

allegations. (Tr. 968:59) He has since acknowledged both in interviews with the press

and on the record that Movants took Mr. Caseys advice, given in November 2013, and

chose not to pursue the matter further (Tr. of May 14, 2015 Status Conf. 911, Doc.

1097.) Consequently, the matter sat in [Chief Deputy Sheridans] desk drawer for a year

and a half, until it came out in court when the Sheriff was on the stand because Movants

had no intention to do anything after they were told it would be unethical for [them] to

make a complaint on third-party hearsay. (Id. (quoting Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, How

Mexican Food Drew Couple Into Heart of Arpaio Case, Ariz. Republic, May 08, 2015).)

Movants counsel also avowed to the Court that the Sheriff and the Chief Deputy

accepted the advice of counsel and let it go. (Id.) Movants continue to maintain, as with

10

the Montgomery matter, that at no time was Judge Snow or his wife the subject of an

11

investigation. (Docs. 1083, Ex. 1; see also Doc. 1117 at 9; Tr. 961:89.)

12

LEGAL STANDARDS

13

The two principal statutes that govern federal judicial recusal are 28 U.S.C. 144,

14

Bias or Prejudice of Judge, and 28 U.S.C. 455, Disqualification of Justice, Judge, or

15

Magistrate Judge. Section 144 provides a statutory method for seeking recusal only on

16

the basis of a federal district judges personal bias and is triggered by the filing of a

17

timely and sufficient affidavit setting forth the facts that would convince a reasonable

18

person that the judge has a bias or prejudice. 28 U.S.C. 144. The affidavit must be

19

accompanied by a certificate of counsel of record stating that it is made in good faith.

20

Id. The affidavit and accompanying certificate are strictly construed for form, timeliness,

21

and sufficiency. United States v. Sykes, 7 F.3d 1331, 1339 (7th Cir. 1993). The court has

22

a duty to proceed no further and assign the motion to another judge for a determination

23

of the merits only after it determines the affidavit is legally sufficient. United States v.

24

Sibla, 624 F.2d 864, 868 (9th Cir. 1980). A party may file only one affidavit pursuant to

25

144 in any case. 28 U.S.C. 144.

26

Section 455, in contrast, has two recusal provisions. Subsection (a) states that a

27

judge. . . of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his

28

impartiality might reasonably be questioned. 28 U.S.C. 455(a). An objective standard

applies to disqualification under 455(a), which contemplates whether a reasonable

person with knowledge of all the facts would conclude the judge's impartiality might

reasonably be questioned. Taylor v. Regents of Univ. of Cal., 993 F.2d 710, 712 (9th Cir.

1993). Subsection (b) enumerates specific situations that require a judge to disqualify

himself, regardless of whether the conflict of interest creates an appearance of

impropriety:

7
8

(1) Where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a


party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts
concerning the proceeding;

...

10

(4) He knows that he, individually or as a fiduciary, or his


spouse . . . has a financial interest in the subject matter in
controversy . . . or any other interest that could be
substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding; [or]

11
12

...

13
14

(5) He or his spouse, or a person within the third degree of


relationship to either of them, or the spouse of such a person:

15

...

16

(iii) Is known by the judge to have an interest that could be


substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding; [or]

17

(iv) Is to the judges knowledge likely to be a material


witness in the proceeding.

25
26

28 U.S.C. 455(b)(1)(5). The analysis under section 455(b) is subjective and also selfenforcing on the part of the presiding judge. United States v. Holland, 519 F.3d 909, 915
(9th Cir. 2008).
Recusal for actual bias pursuant to subsection (b)(1) is required only if the moving
party can prove by compelling evidence that a reasonable person would be convinced
the judge was biased in a way that may prevent a fair decision on the merits.11 United
States v. Balistrieri, 779 F.2d 1191, 1201 (7th Cir. 1985); see also Liteky v. United States,
510 U.S. 540, 55356 (1994) (defining bias as animus or malice of a kind that a fair-

minded person could not entirely set aside when judging certain persons or causes). The

party seeking recusal carries a substantial burden of overcoming the presumption that a

district court is free from bias. United States v. Denton, 434 F.3d at 1104, 1111 (8th Cir.

2006). The other relevant provisions of 455(b) mandate disqualification on the basis of

a judges personal interest in the case or his familial relationship with a material witness

or other interested party to a proceeding. 28 U.S.C. 455(b)(4)(5). The statute specifies

that the degree of relationship that necessitates recusal under 455(b) is calculated

according to the civil law system, which includes spouses and siblings. Id. 455(d)(2).

Motions brought pursuant to either 144 or 455 are subject to the extrajudicial

10

source rule, meaning that the disqualifying bias or prejudice must generally stem from

11

something other than information and beliefs the judge acquired while acting in his or

12

her judicial capacity. United States v. McTiernan, 695 F.3d 882, 891 (9th Cir. 2012)

13

(quoting United States v. Frias-Ramirez, 670 F.2d 849, 853 n.6 (9th Cir. 1982)); accord

14

United States v. Wilkerson, 208 F.3d 794, 799 (9th Cir. 2000) (To disqualify a judge, the

15

alleged bias must constitute animus more active and deep-rooted than an attitude of

16

disapproval toward certain persons because of their known conduct. (internal quotation

17

marks omitted)). A judges courtroom conduct, expressions of opinion, or adverse rulings

18

during the course of proceedings in which disqualification is sought, or in related

19

proceedings, do not constitute a valid basis for the judges disqualification under 144

20

or 455. See Liteky, 510 U.S. at 555; In re Marshall, 721 F.3d 1032, 1043 (9th Cir. 2013).

21

Recusal motions must also be filed in a timely manner. See 28 U.S.C. 144;

22

Preston v. United States, 923 F.3d 731, 73233 (9th Cir. 1991) (applying same timeliness

23

standard to 455 motion). This requirement avoids wasted judicial time and resources

24

and a heightened risk that litigants would use recusal motions for strategic purposes. Id.

25

(internal citations omitted). Although no per se rule exists regarding the time frame in

26

which recusal motions should be filed, they must be filed with reasonable promptness

27

after the ground for such a motion is ascertained. Id.

at 912. Nevertheless, the recusal statute is not intended to give litigants a veto power

over sitting judges, or a vehicle for obtaining a judge of their choice. United States v.

Cooley, 1 F.3d 985, 993 (10th Cir. 1993). In considering whether recusal is appropriate

under 455, the judge is free to make credibility determinations, assign to the evidence

what he believes to be its proper weight, and to contradict the evidence with facts drawn

from his own personal knowledge. Balistrieri, 779 F.2d at 1202.


DISCUSSION

7
8

For the reasons set forth below, Movants have not satisfied the requirements to

bring a motion pursuant to 144. Therefore, the Court need not accept the truth of the

10

allegations in Sheriff Arpaios affidavit nor refer the Motion to another judge for a

11

determination of its merits. See Sibla, 624 F.2d at 868. The Court will instead consider

12

whether the record as a whole demonstrates actual bias against Movants, triggers the

13

automatic recusal provisions of 28 U.S.C. 455(b), or raises a reasonable question about

14

the Courts impartiality.12 (See Doc. 1117 (quoting 28 U.S.C. 455).)

15

I.

The Courts Actions and Rulings Relating to the Contempt Proceedings Are

16

Not Grounds for Recusal.

17

The record of the contempt proceeding belies Movants contention that the Court

18

exhibits antipathy toward Movants; nor would an objective third party perceive a

19

significant risk that the Court would resolve the case on a basis other than the merits.

20

Movants reliance on the Courts rulings and actions as the foundation for their Motion to

21

Recuse also ignores the long-settled principle that, to trigger recusal, any alleged bias

22

must spring from an extrajudicial source, not from information or beliefs the judge gained

23

over the course of litigation, or else the bias must be particularly excessive in degree. See

The Motion also refers to the recusal requirements under the Judicial Code of
Conduct. The standard for disqualification under the judicial canons is substantively
identical to that under the federal statutes. See Liljeberg v. Health Servs. Acquisition
Corp., 486 U.S. 847, 870 (1988) (Rehnquist, J., dissenting) (explaining that 455 was
substantially revised by Congress to bring it in conformity with Canon 3C of the Code of
Conduct for United States Judges). The state canons cited in the Motion are inapplicable
to federal courts.

Litkey, 510 U.S. at 55051.

Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridan argue that the Courts conduct during

the civil contempt proceedings establish that it has a personal bias or prejudice against

them, 28 U.S.C. 455(b)(1), or might cause a reasonable person to question the Courts

partiality. Id. 455(a). In particular, Movants challenge the Courts denial of their

Motions to Vacate and its invitation to the United States Attorneys Office to attend

status conferences. (Doc. 1117 at 57.) Movants further assert that the Court engaged in

outside investigations . . . that [it] infused into the proceeding, took evidence outside of

court, asked leading questions, was argumentative with and interrupted Chief

10

Deputy Sheridan, and gave [its] own testimony. (Id. at 15.) Movants attempt to prove

11

these allegations solely by reference to the declaration13 of Ronald D. Rotunda, who is a

12

professor at Chapman University School of Law. (See id. at 1415.)

13

However, the Rotunda declarationas well as Plaintiffs corresponding

14

declaration by Stephen Gillers, a professor at New York University School of Lawis an

15

expert opinion. The law of this and every Circuit is that while an expert may provide an

16

opinion to help the jury or judge understand a particular fact, the expert is not permitted

17

to give an opinion as to his legal conclusion. Hangarter v. Provident Life & Accident Ins.

18

Co., 373 F.3d 998, 1016 (9th Cir. 2004); see also Fed. R. Evid. 702(a) (requiring that

19

expert opinion evidence help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine

20

a fact in issue). The question presented on the recusal motion is whether 28 U.S.C. 455

21

requires this Court to disqualify itself. This decision is solely a question of law. See

deciding a case, is a question of law.); In re City of Houston, 745 F.2d 925, 927 (5th Cir.

1984) (same). Because both declarations only purport to offer interpretations and

analyses of 455 and express the professors opinions on whether the Court must

withdraw from this case, (see Doc. 1117, Decl. of Ronald Rotunda 2930; Doc. 1150,

Decl. of Stephen Gillers 21), they are not appropriate for the Court to consider in

deciding whether its recusal is appropriate. See in re Initial Pub. Offering Sec. Litig., 174

F. Supp. 2d 61, 64 (S.D.N.Y. 2001) (excluding expert opinions of law professors that trial

judge should recuse herself on the grounds that they impermissibly stated conclusions of

law); accord United States v. Eyerman, 660 F. Supp. 775, 781 (S.D.N.Y. 1987).

10

Although the Court disregards both declarations, it is Movants who bear the

11

burden of overcoming the presumption that the Court is impartial. See Denton, 434 F.3d

12

at 1111. Movants failure to cite to anything admissible that might suggest how the

13

Courts course of examination or rulings demonstrate its actual bias against them falls

14

short of the compelling evidence standard that governs motions to recuse under

15

455(b)(1). See Hook, 89 F.3d at 355. Moreover, to the extent that the examples of the

16

Courts bias cited to by Movants are based on the Courts rulings and conduct during the

17

contempt proceedings, the Motion also fails under 455(a) and (b)(1) because judicial

18

rulings and conduct during litigation are not a valid basis for a bias or partiality motion

19

unless they display a deep-seated favoritism or antagonism that would make fair

20

judgment impossible. Liteky, 510 U.S. at 555. If the Court committed error in relation to

21

the contempt proceedings, Movants proper recourse is an appeal to the Ninth Circuit, not

22

a motion for recusal. Id. Under the circumstances, a person apprised of all relevant facts

23

would not reasonably doubt the Courts impartiality.

24

First, the proceedings in which the underlying events occurred were civil contempt

25

hearings, the factual basis for which Movants do not contest. (See Docs. 880, 948, 1003.)

26

Even if it were to accept Movants unsupported contention that the Court interrupted

27

Chief Deputy Sheridan or was argumentative, (see Doc. 1117 at 15), these actions

28

would have to be especially severe or pervasive to fairly suggest the kind of deep- 18 RE 28

seated animus toward Movants that requires the Courts recusal. See Liteky, 510 U.S. at

55556; see also Marshall, 721 F.3d at 1043 (holding that a series of hostile comments

toward litigant did not require the judges recusal because the comments might also be

reasonably seen as the product of [the judges] frustration with [the litigants] behavior

throughout the litigation). The record reflects that the Courts orders were violated from

a very early stage in this litigation, and that Movants continued to resist the Courts

directives after the Court entered its permanent injunction and throughout the compliance

phase. The Court has expressed concern for what it perceives to be, at best, Movants

negligent approach to the timely implementation of its orders and, at worst, a pattern of

10

knowing defiance and subversion of the Courts efforts to administer justice in this

11

action. Movants antagonism has necessitated substantial judicial corrective action; yet,

12

as of the Monitors last report, MCSO was not close to achieving full compliance with

13

the injunctive order entered nearly two years ago. See Robert S. Warshaw, Third

14

Quarterly Report 112 (2015) (Doc. 1010). The Courts comment about Movants having

15

skin in the game in any proposed settlement does not provide a basis for recusal for

16

similar reasons. The Court has previously questioned whether, due to the organization of

17

the Maricopa County governmentwhich requires the County as a whole to bear the

18

brunt of the financial costs incurred by Movants recalcitranceand Movants ability to

19

solicit contributions to fund their litigation, Movants might appreciate no adverse

20

consequences, financial or otherwise, from their admitted contempt. (See, e.g., Tr. of

21

Mar. 20, 2015 Status Conf. 52:1653:7, Doc. 965.) The Court need not ignore these facts

22

in making its rulings. See in re Yagman, 796 F.2d 1165, 118182 (9th Cir. 1986) (When

23

[a judge imposes sanctions], the judge will obviously be dissatisfied with some aspect of

the offending . . . conduct[;] . . .[w]ithout more, this natural responsive attitude does not

provide reasonable grounds to question the judge's impartiality . . . .). Disinterestedness

26

does not mean child-like innocence. If the judge did not form judgments of the actors in

27

those court-house dramas called trials, he could never render decisions. Liteky, 510 U.S.

the record does not support the conclusion that the Court was critical of or hostile toward

Movants, let alone that its behavior was serious enough to overcome the high standard

set forth in Liteky. Marshall, 721 F.3d at 1043.

Second, the accusation that recusal is required because the Court took evidence

outside of court is misplaced. (See Doc. 1117 at 15.) During the evidentiary hearing,

Sheriff Arpaio testified on the source of funding for the Montgomery investigation,

which involved MCSO deputies as well as a member of the Cold Case Posse. Sheriff

Arpaio stated that Maricopa County had not paid for the Cold Case Posse members trips

to the Seattle area. (Tr. 645:15.) During the ensuing lunch break, the Monitor mentioned

10

to the Court that the Cold Case Posse may have separate finances from MCSO. When the

11

proceedings resumed, the Court confirmed as much with Sheriff Arpaio during

12

questioning. (Tr. 657:1859:1.)

13

As an initial matter, only in the rarest of circumstances need the Court recuse

14

itself on the basis of knowledge gained in a judicial capacity. Holland, 519 F.3d at 913

15

14. The Monitor is an agent of the court and, in this role, has communicated with the

16

Court as necessary to oversee and coordinate Defendants compliance with existing

17

judicial orders on the Courts behalf. See United States v. Yonkers Bd. of Educ., 946 F.2d

18

180, 184 (2d Cir. 1991) (denying motion to recuse based on communications between

19

judge and court-appointed outside housing advisor). In addition, the Monitors

20

unprompted comment during the recess did not provide the Court with the kind of

21

substantive information about proceedings that cannot be controverted or tested by the

22

tools of the adversary process. See Edgar v. K.L., 93 F.3d 256, 259 (7th Cir. 1996).

23

Rather, the only evidence on this matter is in the record: Sheriff Arpaios testimony, as

24

developed through the Courts examination. Under the circumstances, then, the Courts

25

clarifying questions did not constitute an independent investigation or otherwise

26

demonstrate that the Court possessed impermissible knowledge of a disputed evidentiary

27

fact. See 28 U.S.C. 455(b)(1). This would also not cause a reasonable and informed

28

observer to question the Courts impartiality. See id. 455(a); Yonkers, 946 F.2d at 184.

Third, the Courts orders after the first phase of the contempt hearings that

Defendants immediately produce all documents relating to the matters on which Sheriff

Arpaio had testified or pertaining to the Monitors discretion to inquire into matters . . .

pertinent to the current contempt findings are not an adequate basis for the instant

Motion.14 (See Tr. of May 14, 2015 Status Conf. 50:24-51:6, Doc. 1097.) The orders

relating to document production were justified by Defendants past failures to adequately

and timely conduct discovery and produce requested documents. These failures are one

of the grounds for contempt noticed in the Order to Show Cause to which the Movants

have admitted and are largely the reason the evidentiary hearings remain incomplete.

10

Defendants past destruction of responsive documents also has already resulted in the

11

imposition of sanctions at an earlier stage of litigation. (Doc. 493.) Movants non-

12

compliance with Court orders in a way that risked additional evidence spoliation is yet

13

another ground on which Movants are charged with, and have admitted to being in,

14

contempt. Further, Defendants ambivalence toward meeting self-imposed deadlines has

15

repeatedly delayed the judicious progression of this litigation; in the context of internal

16

affairs, for example, Defendants delay in completing the Armendariz-related

17

investigations has prevented the Monitor from being able to assess the adequacy of a

18

number of MCSOs self-investigations. In light of this history, the Courts efforts to

19

ensure the preservation of the Montgomery and Grissom documents and their timely

20

production do not fairly suggest that the tribunal is biased against Movants. See Marshall,

21

721 F.3d at 104243 (considering judges orders in light of litigants history in the case);

22

McTiernan, 695 F.3d at 892 (finding judges negative comments about a defendant did

23

not imply her partiality where they were based on the defendants known past

24

misconduct).

25

26
27
28

Movants arguments that the Court ordered the disclosure of materials without
providing an opportunity for counsel to conduct privilege review, or that the Court
provided the Monitor with unbounded investigative power bearing no relation to this
case, mischaracterize the record. (See, e.g., Doc. 1032; Tr. 653:1825; Tr. of May 8, 2015
Status Conf. 30:14, 30:2531:15, Doc. 1086; Tr. of May 14, 2015 Status Conf. 53:12

40

The Courts specification following the first phase of the contempt hearing that the

Monitors investigative and oversight authority extended to the Montgomery

investigation is likewise responsive to Movants testimony and does not otherwise imply

an invidious motive on the part of the Court. Under the terms of the Supplemental

Permanent Injunction, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and its inherent power, the

Court has continuing authority to modify the Monitors role in adaption to changed

circumstances. (See Doc. 606); Rufo v. Inmates of Suffolk Cnty. Jail, 502 U.S. 367, 380

81 (1992). Since the permanent injunction was entered, Defendants actions have resulted

in a number of modifications to the scope of the Monitors authority.

10

For instance, in April 2014 the Court, at the parties request, amended the

11

Supplemental Permanent Injunction to transfer responsibility for conducting community

12

outreach programs designed to improve relations with the Plaintiff class from Defendants

13

to the appointed Monitor after Defendants objected to their compelled participation in

14

these programs. (Tr. of March 24, 2014 Hrg, Doc. 662; see Doc. 670.) Around this time,

15

the Court became aware that Movants and other members of MCSOs command staff had

16

repeatedly mischaracterized the Courts orders since it issued its Findings of Fact,

17

including during a training organized for MCSO patrol deputies and in other public

18

forums. (See Docs. 656 at 414, 680 at 13, 684 at 4; Tr. of Mar. 24, 2014 Hrg, Doc.

19

662; Tr. of Apr. 3, 2014 Hrg, Doc. 672; Tr. of Oct. 28, 2014 Status Conf., Doc. 776.)

20

After the Movants agreed to voluntarily address these misrepresentations, subsequent

21

press coverage caused Sheriff Arpaio to change his mind. (Doc. 680 at 3.) The Court, in

22

response, entered an enforcement order requiring that Defendants distribute a corrective

23

statement within MCSO and that command staff and patrol personnel take steps to

24

familiarize themselves with the content of the Courts Findings of Fact and Conclusions

25

of Law; the Court assigned to the Monitor the responsibility for verifying Defendants

26

compliance with that order. (Doc. 680 at 4.) The following month, developments brought

27

about by the death of Deputy Armendariz put MCSO in the conflicted position of

28

investigating its own operations and supervisors in matters related to this litigation. When

MCSO insisted on undertaking such investigations despite the conflict of interest,

Defendants agreed that the Monitors involvement and oversight was appropriate. (See

Tr. of May 14, 2014 Status Conf. 95:696:15, Doc. 700.) In November 2014, concerns

about the adequacy of MCSOs investigations into the Armendariz issues, and the

revelation that MCSO had never complied with this Courts preliminary injunction,

resulted in the addition of an independent investigative component to the Monitors

authority. (Doc. 795.) At each stage, the supplements to the Monitors responsibilities

were discussed with the parties and the memorializing orders revised at their suggestion.

Movants do not explain why a detached third party would now infer bias from the

10

Courts specification that the Monitors independent investigative authority allowed him

11

to look into the Montgomery investigation. Certainly, the documents produced by

12

Defendants after Movants testimony do suggest, at a minimum, the inaccuracy of their

13

previous testimony sufficient to justify the Monitor to consider such matters in

14

conjunction with his investigative and oversight authority.

15

Lastly, Movants assertion that the Courts questions denied them of due process

16

is baseless. The Federal Rules of Evidence plainly extend to the Court the right to

17

participate in questioning witnesses. Fed. R. Evid. 614 & advisory committee notes; see

18

also Barba-Reyes v. United States, 387 F.2d 91, 93 (9th Cir. 1967) ([T]he function of a

19

federal trial judge is not that of an umpire or of a moderator at a town meeting. . . . [I]t is

20

his duty to see that a case on trial is presented in such way as to be understood . . . . He

21

should not hesitate to ask questions for the purpose of developing the facts; and it is no

22

ground of complaint that the facts so developed may hurt or help one side or the other.).

23

In addition, in a civil contempt proceeding, it is the offended judge [who is] solely

24

responsible for identifying, prosecuting, adjudicating, and sanctioning the contumacious

25

conduct. Int'l Union, United Mine Workers of Am. v. Bagwell, 512 U.S. 821, 831 (1994).

26

The record further indicates that on the first day of the contempt proceedings the Court

27

informed the parties of its intent to participate in questioning witnesses. (Tr. 140:612.)

none of which objected to the Courts examination at the time or to the questions posed to

either Movant, despite being invited to do so by the Court. (Tr. 625:1216); cf. Fed. R.

Evid. 614(b)(c); Stillman v. Norfolk & W. Ry. Co., 811 F.2d 834, 839 (4th Cir. 1987)

([T]he failure of . . . counsel to object to any of this questioning at trial precludes our

review of this issue on appeal.). Due process guarantees the right to be fairly heard

before the Court arrives at a decision. See Little v. Kern Cnty. Sup. Ct., 294 F.3d 1075,

1080 (9th Cir. 2002). However, a fact witness in a legal proceeding has no constitutional

entitlement to advance notice of every question he might be asked. The now-challenged

topics on which the Court questioned Movants are relevant to the Courts determination

10

of the extent of Defendants resistance to the Courts orders and what measures are

11

necessary to compel Movants ongoing compliance with its orders and provide

12

comprehensive relief to the Plaintiff class for Movants contempt. Moreover, the Courts

13

intervention in witness examination was particularly appropriate in light of the fact that

14

Defendants had restricted Plaintiffs ability to develop the evidentiary record by

15

withholding discoverable evidence. See United States v. Parodi, 703 F.2d 768, 775 (4th

16

Cir. 1983) (noting judges questioning of witnesses is especially appropriate in such

17

circumstances). No due process violation occurred merely because Movants compelled

18

testimony revealed evidence contrary to Movants interests in the litigation, namely, that

19

MCSO may have hired a confidential informant at least partly in an attempt to discredit

20

this Court by linking it to a speculative conspiracy. Barba-Reyes, 387 F.2d at 93; cf.

21

Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 46 (1991) (remarking on district courts inherent

22

power to police litigants whose actions show bad faith or the intent to hamper

23

enforcement of court orders).

24

Under the principles discussed above, Movants arguments for recusal that relate

25

to the Courts conduct in and around the contempt hearing are foreclosed by the record

26

and the extrajudicial source rule. The examples Movants provide of the Courts alleged

27

bias consist of rulings and conduct all occurred in the course of judicial proceedings and

28

neither reflect a negative opinion of Movants based on facts that the Court acquired

extrajudicially, nor display a level of antagonism that would impede fair judgment on the

merits. See Liteky, 510 U.S. at 556. Sheriff Arpaio is a frequent litigant before this Court

on a wide variety of civil matters, and is a named defendant in a half-dozen pending cases

assigned to the Court in which he has not sought the Courts recusal. This further

suggests that the impetus for Movants efforts to disqualify the Court in this case is not

concern that the Court harbors any extrajudicial bias against Sheriff Arpaio or Chief

Deputy Sheridan, but, rather, stems from their dissatisfaction with the Courts rulings in

this case, which is not an issue properly resolved through a disqualification motion. See

10

it also has an obligation to hear all cases assigned to it when there is no legitimate reason

11

to recuse. Holland, 519 F.3d at 912. In this case, nothing about the Courts conduct

The Montgomery and Grissom Investigations Do Not Give the Court or its

14

Wife a Disqualifying Interest in the Outcome of the Proceedings,

15

Demonstrate its Actual Bias, or Otherwise Warrant Recusal.

16

Neither the facts underlying the Grissom and Montgomery investigations nor the

17

Courts inquiry into those investigations demonstrate actual bias or reasonably risk an

18

appearance of partiality to an objective third party with knowledge of the matters. See 28

19

U.S.C. 455(a)(b)(1). Furthermore, neither investigation implicates an interest of the

20

Court or its wife that stands to be substantially affected by the outcome of this

21

proceeding. See id. 455(b).

22

A.

The Montgomery Matter

23

A charge of bias or prejudice under 455(b)(1) or that a judges impartiality might

24

reasonably be questioned under 455(a) must be sufficiently grounded in fact to generate

25

doubt in the mind of a fully informed, objective observer; mere speculation or innuendo

26

is not enough. See in re United States, 666 F.2d 690, 695 (1st Cir. 1981). In this case,

Defendants subsequent to Movants testimony. (See Tr. 1003:12) Sheriff Arpaio and

Chief Deputy Sheridan testified that they no longer have confidence in any of the

materials provided by Mr. Montgomerythey believed those materials to be junk (Tr.

650:2025)that they had always been very skeptical of Mr. Montgomerys claims,

and that they finally realized that he was stringing [them] along. (Tr. 1002:216.)

Among other problems apparent from the face of the Montgomery materials, the

telephone number attributed to the Court in documents that purported to prove phone

calls with the Department of Justice, (Doc. 1150, Aff. of Cecilia Wang, Ex. B (available

at Doc. 1153)),

is similar to, but has never been, the Courts telephone number.

10

[R]umor, speculation . . . and similar non-factual matters that are advocated by no one

11

do not suffice to establish actual bias. Clemens v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for Cent. Dist. of Cal.,

12

428 F.3d 1175, 1178 (9th Cir. 2005).

13

Nor do they raise a reasonable question about the Courts impartiality: Sheriff

14

Arpaio testified that nothing about the Montgomery matter affected his perception of the

15

Courts ability to remain neutral in this case. (Tr. 652:1618.) Chief Deputy Sheridan

16

also disclaimed that the Montgomery materials caused him to believe there was collusion

17

between the Court and the Department of Justice. (Tr. 1002:12.) Movants continue to

18

contend under penalty of perjury that the Montgomery investigation never involved any

19

investigation of [the Court]. (Doc. 1117 at 9; Doc. 1083, Ex. 1 (At no time was an

20

investigation initiated against Judge Snow . . . . At no time was Judge Snow or his wife

21

the subject or target of investigation.).) Movants have neither sought to recant those

22

declarations nor assert the truth of the conspiracy apparently outlined in the Montgomery

23

documents. If Movants, knowing the facts of the Montgomery investigation as they did,

24

did not doubt the Courts impartiality it follows that a reasonable person would not either.

25

See 28 U.S.C. 455(a).

26

To the extent that the Movants seek to now implicitly assert the truth of the

27

Montgomery materials, they are precluded from doing so because a party must seek to

disqualify a judge in a timely fashion after he becomes aware of the basis for

disqualification. Yet, Movants knew about the content of the Montgomery documents for

some time before they filed the instant Motion. See Preston, 923 F.3d at 73233 (quoting

Molina v. Rison, 886 F.2d 1124, 1131 (9th Cir. 1989)). At the contempt hearing, Chief

Deputy Sheridan testified that, over the course of Mr. Montgomerys investigation, he

was presented with materials suggesting that the Department of Justice had made contact

with the Court; it was at this point that he apparently ordered his subordinates to

undertake no investigation of the Court. He further testified that no additional materials

regarding the Court materialized after this point in time. Therefore, assuming the

accuracy of Chief Deputy Sheridans testimony, he has long been aware of all of the

10

Montgomery documents implicating the Court in an alleged conspiracy, but nevertheless

11

elected not to seek the Courts disqualification until May 2015after the Court invited

12

the parties to address the seeming inconsistencies between the Montgomery documents

13

and Movants testimony and months after Movants apparently lost faith in Mr.

14

Montgomerys credibility.15 There is a presumption that a recusal petition submitted after

15

the moving party suffers adverse rulings has been filed for suspect tactical and strategic

16

reasons. See E. & J. Gallo Winery v. Gallo Cattle Co., 967 F.2d 1280, 1295 (9th Cir.

17

1992).

18

Furthermore, that the Court inquired into the Montgomery investigation is not a

19

proper basis for the Courts disqualification under 455(b)(1) because there is nothing to

20

suggest the Courts examination was the product of extrajudicial bias. See Liteky, 510

21

U.S. at 555. Aspects of the Montgomery investigation are relevant to this litigation for

22

reasons the Court has already explained on the record. Sheriff Arpaio began a time- and

The New Times article that summarizes what the documents subsequently

that have since been produced by Defendants reinforce the timeline testified to by
Movants, that they suspected Mr. Montgomery was stringing MCSO along for at least
several months. (See Doc. 1150, Aff. of Cecilia Wang, Ex. C (compiling e-mails from at
least November 2014 challenging Mr. Montgomerys work product) (available at Doc.

under an obligation to implement the Supplemental Permanent Injunction. To the extent

that MCSO may have been trying to use Montgomery to discredit the Court and

undermine the legitimacy of its judgment in the underlying lawsuit, these facts are

relevant to the attitude that Defendants have toward the Court and its orders, and to the

corrective measures that may be necessary to remedy Movants contempt and achieve the

implementation of the permanent injunctive relief. This may be particularly germane in

light of the evidence that MCSO apparently continued to press Mr. Montgomery for work

product up until the eve of the show-cause hearings even after his credibility was found

to be lacking. (Doc. 1150, Aff. of Cecilia Wang, Exs. CE (available at Doc. 1153).)

10

The integrity and transparency of MCSOs PSB and SID processes are also

11

implicated by the Montgomery investigation. There is no dispute that there was

12

misconduct within the HSU and the MCSO generally that is relevant to this lawsuit,16

13

including patrol deputies unexplained confiscation of personal identifications and other

14

items. These matters were, at least at the time, systemically under-investigated by

15

supervisors within the SID. Further, the intentional destruction of the evidence of that

16

misconduct may have been sanctioned by those in charge. The inquiry into these issues

17

when they finally came to lightwas handled internally by PSB at the election of MCSO

18

and ultimately compromised by conflicts of interest, delays, and procedural inadequacies.

19

There now appears to have been substantial overlap in the personnel who failed to

20

adequately supervise Deputy Armendariz and the HSU, and those who were responsible

21

for the Montgomery investigation with its speculative ties to this Court. This raises

22

obvious questions about whether those personnel are, in fact, working to implement all of

23

this Courts orders in good faith, especially since the documents that have been produced

24

from the Montgomery investigation tend to suggest that Movants testimony on the

25

matter may have been at least partially inaccurate. Therefore, the Courts questions about

26
16

27
28

Defendants have never contested the relevance of the Armendariz materials to


the Plaintiffs underlying constitutional claims or that it falls within the scope of the
Monitors oversight. (See, e.g., Tr. of May 14, 2014 Status Conf. 55:2156:8, 73:2024,

the Montgomery investigation are relevant to this proceeding, and there is nothing to

suggest that the questions were motivated by deep-rooted antagonism against Movants.

See Liteky, 510 U.S. at 555.

In addition, to the extent that Movants are responsible for creating the

circumstances that they now offer as grounds for their Motion, the Montgomery materials

provide no basis for judicial disqualification. The Ninth Circuit is clear that a party

cannot effect recusal of a trial judge by its own actions. [B]aseless personal attacks on or

suits against the judge by a party, quotes attributed to the judge or others, but which are

in fact false or materially inaccurate or misleading, or attempts to intimidate the judge

10

will not suffice to trigger the Courts disqualification. Clemens, 428 F.3d at 1179

11

(quoting Nichols v. Alley, 71 F.3d 347, 351 (10th Cir. 1995)). Movants instigated the

12

Montgomery matter and have controlled the investigation and the limited disclosures to

13

date concerning its subject, scope, outcome, and relevance to this Court and Movants

14

contempt. By bringing the Motion, Movants stalled additional discovery into the

15

Montgomery materials from occurring. This kind of risk of strategic manipulation is what

16

455 (and its timeliness requirement) explicitly does not allow.

17

Lastly, none of the specific disqualifying subsections of 455(b) are applicable

18

here. Under 455(b)(4), a judge must recuse himself if he has a financial interest in the

19

subject matter in controversy or any other interest that could be substantially affected

20

by the outcome of the proceeding. 28 U.S.C. 455(b)(4). A judge must also disqualify

21

himself under 455(b)(5)(iii) where he or his spouse is known by the judge to have an

22

interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding. Id.

23

455(b)(5)(iii). A disqualifying interest is one that concerns the subject matter of the

24

litigation or a party to it. See in re Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc., 861 F.2d 1307, 1314

25

(2d Cir. 1988). Courts have generally limited the kinds of interests for which recusal is

26

mandatory to those that are somehow pecuniary or proprietary in nature. See Guardian

Co., 539 F.2d 357, 367 (4th Cir. 1976); (see also Doc. 138 at 1516.) Even if a courts

concern with its general reputation were sufficient to constitute an interest within the

meaning of 455(b)(4) and (b)(5)(iii), such an interest would not be affected in this case

because no one claims that the conspiracy outlined in the Montgomery documents is true.

See Nachshin v. AOL, LLC, 663 F.3d 1034, 1042 (9th Cir. 2011) ([W]here an interest is

not direct, but is remote, contingent or speculative, it is not the kind of interest which

reasonably brings into question a judge's partiality. (quoting in parenthetical Sensley v.

Albritton, 385 F.3d 591, 600 (5th Cir. 2004))).

B.

The Grissom Matter

10

As with the Montgomery matter, the Courts questions and orders relating to the

11

Grissom matter do not warrant its recusal under 455(b)(1) or (a). See Liteky, 510 U.S.

12

at 555. The Courts knowledge of the Grissom investigation was acquired in the course of

13

this judicial proceeding, and the Courts conduct since learning of its existence in no way

14

suggests that the Court is now biased or prejudiced against Movants in a way that

15

threatens its ability to evaluate the case on the merits, let alone evidences the degree of

16

antagonism required to justify recusal where no extrajudicial source is involved. See id.

17

Although the Court had read the New Times article concerning an alleged

18

investigation of the Court by MCSO, the Court had no awareness of the Grissom matter

19

until Sheriff Arpaio testified, in response to the Courts questioning about the reported

20

investigation, that he knew of an investigation involving a member of the Courts family.

21

The Court asked a few follow-up questions of Sheriff Arpaio; then, the next day, defense

22

counsel elicited testimony on the matter from Chief Deputy Sheridan, apparently in an

23

attempt to clarify Sheriff Arpaios earlier statements. However, aspects of Sheriff

24

Arpaios testimony were sufficiently inaccurate to prompt the disclosure of additional

25

materials on the subject by Sheriff Arpaio and his former attorneys. (See generally Tr.

26

10191035; Doc. 1083, Ex. 1.) As a result, the Grissom matter garnered further attention

27

as the Parties litigated the applicability of attorney-client privilege and/or work-product

28

immunity to some of those disclosures. The Courts own examination of Movants on this

matter has been minimal, and Movants provide no evidence that is reasonably suggestive

of any newly generated bias on the part of the Court since it learned of Mrs. Grissoms

allegations and Movants decision to investigate them.

Mrs. Grissoms paraphrasing of a statement allegedly made by the Courts wife,

alone, does not suffice to warrant the Courts recusal. Sheriff Arpaios counsel initially

evaluated the statement and Mrs. Grissom and concluded that her allegations lacked

substance or merit. (Doc. 1115 at 9.) Nonetheless, apparently at the request of Sheriff

Arpaio, Mr. Casey took the additional step of retaining Mr. Vogel to investigate the

matter further. (Id. at 10; Tr. 966:23, 2123.) After reviewing the results of that

10

investigation, Mr. Casey concluded that the Grissom information was fundamentally

11

flawed and provided no basis for a Rule 60 motion [or] appeal . . . without the lawyer

12

doing so violating the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Arizona Rules of

13

Professional Conduct. (Doc. 1115 at 7, 1819.) Movants acknowledge that they

14

accepted this advice against any use of the Grissom information and let the matter go.

15

Movants stood by this decision even after the first phase of the contempt

16

proceedings. Sheriff Arpaios specially appearing counsel (who filed the instant motion)

17

stated publicly following Sheriff Arpaios testimony that the Grissom matter was not a

18

basis on which the Court should recuse. (See Doc. 1150, Aff. of Cecilia Wang, Ex. H.) In

19

addition, Movants argued before Magistrate Judge Boyle that nothing about the Grissom

20

investigation was relevant to issues at stake in this case in order to preserve attorney-

21

client privilege and work-product immunity over the November 2013 letter disclosed by

22

Mr. Casey in which he had summarized Mr. Vogels findings for Sheriff Arpaio. (See

23

Doc. 1073 at 45; Doc. 1107 at 5.) Movants were successful in preventing disclosure of

24

portions of the letter because Judge Boyle was apparently convinced, as Movants

25

claimed, that the facts underlying the Grissom investigation did not relate to the contempt

26

proceedings. (Doc. 1053 at 6.) The recusal statutes do not allow for the use of

27

disqualifying elements as a sword and a shield any more than the doctrines of attorney-

28

client privilege and work-product immunity do. See Bivens Gardens Office Bldg., Inc. v.

Barnett Bks. of Fla., Inc., 140 F.3d 898, 913 (11th Cir. 1998) (noting that the

disqualification statute was intended as a shield, not a sword, and that disqualification

cannot be used as an insurance policy to be cashed in if a partys assessment of his

litigation risks turns out to be off and a loss occurs). Accordingly, the history amply

demonstrates that Movants themselves have concluded, repeatedly and after thorough

investigation of all of the facts, that the Grissom matter does not warrant the Courts

recusal. The Court agrees with these conclusions.

When a party becomes aware of a basis to seek to disqualify a judge, it must act

with reasonable promptness after the basis for disqualification is ascertained. Preston,

10

923 F.3d at 73233. The Ninth Circuit has cautioned that a party that unduly delays the

11

filing of a recusal motion is presumed to be filing it for manipulative purposes. See E. &

12

J. Gallo, 967 F.2d at 129596. Sheriff Arpaio became aware of the Grissom allegations

13

in August 2013, and, after inquiries by his attorney and an independent investigator,

14

elected not to pursue the Grissom matter further. Now, nineteen months later, Movants

15

have filed the instant Motion for disqualification. In the interim time, the Armendariz

16

materials came to light, precipitating the revelation of additional evidence of MCSOs

17

repeated failures to comply with the orders of this Court and the institution of civil

18

contempt hearings. Movants delay in raising the Grissom allegations until after the

19

contempt proceedings were underway not only raises the specter of attempted

20

manipulation of the judicial process, it runs counter to 455s requirement of prompt

21

action.

22

In an apparent attempt to bolster their argument for recusal, Movants now assert

23

that because testimony about the Grissom investigation occurred during the contempt

24

hearing, then Mrs. Snow is undoubtedly a material witness in this proceeding. (Doc.

25

1117 at 14; but see also id. at 14 (noting the irrelevance of the Grissom and

26

Montgomery investigations to the issue of whether the admitted contempt of the

27

Preliminary Injunction occurred . . .).) However, 455(b)(5)(iv) requires recusal only

in the proceeding. 28 U.S.C. 455(b)(5)(iv). A material witness is one who can testify

about matters having some logical connection with the consequential facts of a case.

Williams v. Stewart, 441 F.3d 1030, 1055 (9th Cir. 2006) (quoting Blacks Law

Dictionary (8th ed. 2004)); United States v. Vazquez-Botet, 453 F. Supp. 2d 362, 370

(D.P.R. 2006) (applying definition in context of motion under 455(b)(5)(iv)). The Court

has no reason to think that its spouse will be a material witness in any proceeding

pertaining to either the instant Motion or to the civil contempt proceedings. First, Sheriff

Arpaios former attorney already concluded that Mrs. Grissoms claims were

fundamentally flawed and legally insufficient. Movants accepted that conclusion. Second,

10

all of the facts from the Grissom investigation were known by Movants by the fall of

11

2013, and seeking disqualification on their basis now is untimely, regardless of which

12

provision of the statute Movants claim it triggers. See E. & J. Gallo, 967 F.2d at 1295

13

n.8; Preston, 923 F.2d at 733. Third, Movants do not suggest a single example of

14

admissible testimony that the Courts wife could offer: the Grissom allegation is not of

15

material importance to the show-cause hearing, nor did Movants request a hearing in

16

conjunction with their Motion for disqualification at which such testimonial evidence

17

might be taken. A judge will not be disqualified under 455(b)(5)(iv) based on mere

18

speculation that the judge or his family member will be called as a witness. See United

19

States v. Rivera, 802 F.2d 593, 601 (2d Cir. 1986) (finding judge was not required to

20

recuse himself on the basis of defendants allegations that judge would be material

21

witness at a requested hearing where defendants did not allege sufficient facts

22

demonstrating their entitlement to the hearing). Fourth, there is no precedent for

23

Movants contention that an alleged statement by a judges spouse that might be used to

24

question the judges impartiality is grounds for disqualification because the spouse is

25

likely to be a material witness. If this was the case, a party could deliberately

26

manipulate the recusal process by raising statements whose substance is fundamentally

27

flawed to demonstrate the supposed bias of the presiding judicial officer and attribute

28

them to the judge or a family member and, by forcing their contravening testimony to

40

rebut the charge of bias, oblige the judge to recuse under 455(b)(5)(iv). That is exactly

what Movants attempt to do here by trying to re-raise a forfeited suggestion of alleged

bias. To the extent that anything about the Grissom matter continues to have incidental

relevance to this casefor example, it may illuminate that factual misrepresentations

have been made on the record, and suggests the existence of yet another potential conflict

in Defendants selection of Don Vogel as the independent contractor to whom to

outsource the Armendariz investigationsit is not because the Courts wife will be a

material witness.

Section 455s commitment to fairness in the administration of justice does not

10

require recusal upon the merest unsubstantiated suggestion of personal bias or

11

prejudice. Holland, 519 F.3d at 913. If a judge were to allow manipulation to deter the

12

normal course of litigation, this would equally risk subvert[ing] [judicial] processes,

13

undermin[ing] our notions of fair play and justice, and damag[ing] the publics

14

perception of the judiciary. Id. at 915. Accordingly, the reasonable person as to whom

15

the Court must evaluate the appropriateness of its recusal in light of a cases

16

particularities is not someone who is hypersensitive or unduly suspicious, but rather is

17

a well-informed, thoughtful observer. Id. at 913 (quoting In re Mason, 916 F.2d 384,

18

385 (7th Cir. 1990)). After careful consideration of all of the relevant facts, there is no

19

basis to believe the Court or its wife has a disqualifying bias or interest in the litigation

20

based on the Grissom matter. Moreover, Mrs. Grissoms allegations do not raise a

21

reasonable question about the Courts impartiality, because a neutral observer would not

22

infer the existence of actual prejudice against Movants from a single instance of third-

party hearsay that Movants own counsel determined to be baseless. See 28 U.S.C.

that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the proceeding. See 28 U.S.C.

455(a), (b)(5)(iii); Pashaian v. Eccelston Props., Ltd., 88 F.3d 77, 8384 (2d Cir.

1996).

The Court raised the issue of whether its withdrawal was appropriate in light of its

brother-in-laws partnership interest at Covington with the parties three years ago, prior

to trial. The Court entered an order setting forth the nature of its relationship with Mr.

10

Teel, the extent of its past consideration of the matter, and the reasons why its recusal

11

was not compelled by law or the judicial canons.17 (Doc. 537.) The Court also noticed a

12

hearing, (Doc. 539), at which it offered to recuse on the request of any party and to vacate

13

the orders it entered after Covington & Burlings appearance, including the Summary

14

Judgment and Preliminary Injunction order of December 23, 2011. (Tr. of June 29, 2012

15

Status Conf. 5:199:17, Doc. 1149.) At the hearing, Defendants agreed recusal was not

16

mandatory and affirmatively stated that they desired this case to remain on the Courts

17

docket. (Id. 15:1317:2.) Defendants also filed a notice indicating they expressly

18

waiv[ed] any and all appeal issues regarding . . . the Courts potential bias, impartiality,

19

and/or conflict of interest potentially implicated by its brother-in-laws partnership

20

interest at Covington & Burling. (Doc. 541.)

21

The Court, in another order, concluded that the Courts brother-in-law had no

22

interest, financial or otherwise, that required the Courts recusal under 455(b)(5)(iii),

23

and that no reasonable and objective observer would question the Courts impartiality

27
28

17

In 2010 when Covington was substituted as counsel for Plaintiffs the Court
reviewed the case law, the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, and the
commentaries to the canons and determined its recusal was not necessary, although the
Court later observed that it may have been preferable to have fully discussed the matter
with the parties at this time. (See Doc. 537.)

based on Mr. Teels partnership at Covington.18 (Doc. 542.) As Plaintiffs explained,

Covington had screened Mr. Teel from participating in the case or receiving any income

that may accrue to the firm, so he had no existing economic stake in the case. Further, no

party had articulated a non-pecuniary interest of Mr. Teels that might be substantially

affected by the outcome of the proceeding, see 28 U.S.C. 455(b)(5)(iii), and the Court

reasoned that any speculative reputational benefits or Mr. Teels general interest in his

firms goodwill and client relationships did not amount to a disqualifying interest under

455(b)(5)(iii) under the facts of this case. In the intervening three years, nothing that

has occurred alters the Courts initial analysis: Movants offer no evidence suggesting that

10

Mr. Teel has acquired an interest in the interim time that could be substantially affected

11

by the outcome of these proceedings nor do they explain why the Courts impartiality

12

would now be questioned by any abstract personal interest of Mr. Teels in this litigation.

13

See Perry v. Schwarzenegger, 630 F.3d 909, 914 (9th Cir. 2011) (explaining that recusal

14

is not required where the alleged interest is remote).

15

In any event, this ground for recusal has long been forfeited. Covington & Burling

16

first entered an appearance in 2010. Sheriff Arpaio was aware of the issue prior to trial

17

three years ago and expressly waived the conflict. (See Doc. 541; see also Doc. 1117 at

18

13 (acknowledging that Movants waived this basis for recusal early in this action).)

19

Although the parties could not remit the Courts disqualification if recusal was required

20

under 455(b)(5)(iii), a conflict that is disqualifying only because it risks a judges

21

appearing impartial can be waived. 28 U.S.C. 455(e); United States v. Conforte, 624

22
23
24
25

18

The primary conflict observed by the Court was between the commentary to the
judicial canons, which notes that [t]he fact that a lawyer in a proceeding is affiliated
with a law firm with which a relative of the judge is affiliated does not of itself disqualify
the judge, Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges, cmt. Canon 3C(1)(d)(ii), and the advice of
the United States Committee on Codes of Conduct, which suggests a categorical rule of
recusal when a relative within the third degree of relationship of a judge has an equity
interest in a law firm in a case before that judge. Code of Conduct for U.S. Judges Canon
3C, Advisory Opinion No. 58. The Court explained at length in its earlier opinions on the
matter why the per se rule of disqualification set forth in Advisory Opinion No. 58 is an
erroneous interpretation of Judicial Canon 3C and the corollary subsection of 455(b).

F.2d 869, 88081 (9th Cir. 1980). Further, even claims for recusal under 455(b) may be

lost by inaction after the facts supporting the claim are known by the party and no motion

is timely made. See E. & J. Gallo, 967 F.2d at 1295 n.8 (The timeliness of a partys

presentation to the court of information it has that comprises a potential ground for

disqualification is a different issue than is addressed by subsection (e).). Movants

failure to raise this ground for disqualification before now precludes them from

attempting to do so at this juncture.

IV.

This Motion Is Legally Insufficient Under 28 U.S.C. 144.

Section 144 provides for the assignment of a new judge when a party to a

10

proceeding files a timely and legally sufficient affidavit alleging personal bias or

11

prejudice on the part of a judge before whom the matter is pending. 28 U.S.C. 144. All

12

144 motions must also be accompanied by a certificate of good faith from counsel for

13

the party moving for recusal. Id. Because the judge must accept the truth of the facts

14

alleged in the affidavit as demonstrating the purported bias, the affidavit and certificate of

15

counsel are strictly construed for form, timeliness, and sufficiency. United States v.

16

Sykes, 7 F.3d 1331, 1339 (7th Cir. 1993); see also Rademacher v. City of Phoenix, 442 F.

17

Supp. 27, 29 (D. Ariz. 1977) (explaining that affidavits filed in support of 144 motions

18

must be given the utmost of strict construction to safeguard the judiciary from frivolous

19

attacks upon its dignity and integrity and to prevent abuse and to insure orderly

20

functioning of the judicial system. (internal citations omitted)). The judge against whom

21

a 144 affidavit of bias is filed may pass on its legal sufficiency. Sibla, 624 F.2d at 868.

22

For the reasons set forth above, Movants affidavit is legally insufficient. Recusal

23

motions brought pursuant to 144 are subject to the same timeliness requirement and

24

extrajudicial source rule as 455 motions. See 28 U.S.C. 144; United States v. Studley,

25

783 F.2d 934, 939 (9th Cir. 1986). The Courts relationship to its brother-in-law and the

26

facts underlying the Grissom and Montgomery investigations were all known by Movants

27

for years before they filed their Motion. Furthermore, to the extent that any of the bases

28

in Sheriff Arpaios affidavit stem from the Courts conduct, they fail to establish

recusable bias or prejudice. See Sibla, 624 F.2d at 868 ([A]n affidavit . . . is not legally

sufficient unless it specifically alleges facts that fairly support the contention that the

judge exhibits bias or prejudice directed toward a party that stems from an extrajudicial

source.); United States v. Scholl, 166 F.3d 964, 977 (9th Cir. 1999) (holding that actions

taken by a judge during proceedings are not a legally sufficient ground to include in a

144 affidavit). A litigant may also not compel a judges recusal through his own actions

under 144 any more than he can under 455. See Studley, 783 F.2d at 93940

(rejecting affidavit where intemperate and scurrilous attacks on the judge were the only

grounds for recusal asserted).

10

In addition, this is Defendants second Motion for Recusal brought pursuant to

11

144 and second accompanying affidavit of prejudice. Section 144 explicitly limits a

12

party to filing only one affidavit in support of recusal per case. 28 U.S.C. 144 (A party

13

may file only one such affidavit in any case.). In 2009, Defendants moved to recuse

14

Judge Murgua, then presiding over this case, on the grounds that her relationship with

15

her twin sister raised concerns about her impartiality or at least risked an appearance

16

thereof. (Doc. 63.) Defendants motion was accompanied by an affidavit pursuant to

17

144 and the requisite certification of good faith by counsel. (Id. at 17, Ex. 1.) Judge

18

Murgua granted Defendants motion and withdrew from the case. (Doc. 138.) Having

19

previously filed a Motion and affidavit under 144, in accordance with the express

20

provisions of the statute, Movants are not permitted to file another against this Court.19

21

See United States v. Merkt, 794 F.2d 950, 961 (5th Cir. 1986) ([Movants] affidavit

22

violates the one-affidavit rule of 28 U.S.C. 144 and need not be considered.);

23

Balistrieri, 779 F.2d at 1200 n.6 (same). The limit on successive affidavits is considered

24

necessary to prevent litigants from disqualifying each judge designated to the case and

25

thereby avoid any disposition of its merits. S.E.C. v. Loving Spirit Found. Inc., 392 F.3d

26
19

27
28

If a party discovers new grounds for recusal after submitting an affidavit under
144, it may still obtain the judges recusal through a 455 motion, to which the oneaffidavit rule does not apply. Cf. Sibla, 624 F.2d at 86768 (suggesting that an affidavit is
not required under 455).

486, 496 (D.C. Cir. 2004). Movants do not address the one-affidavit rule in their Motion

or Reply nor have they credibly argued for its inapplicability even though it was raised to

them by the Court on the filing of their Motion. (See Tr. of May 22, 2015 Status Conf.

7:138:9, Doc. 1130; Doc. 1158 at 12.)

The certifications of counsel submitted in support of Sheriff Arpaio and Chief

Deputy Sheridans Motion also fail to meet the statutory requirements of 144, which

oblige counsel to personally certify that the affidavit of alleged bias as well as the motion

to which it is appended are filed in good faith. See Loving Spirit, 392 F.3d at 496. Like

the ban on successive affidavits, the certification is not simply a pro forma procedural

10

requirement but is key to the integrity of the recusal process. Klayman v. Judicial

11

Watch, Inc., 744 F. Supp. 2d 264, 270 (D.D.C. 2010); see also Loving Spirit, 392 F.3d at

12

496 ([T]he attorneys certificate plays a critical role in the recusal process. . . [by]

13

guard[ing] against the removal of an unbiased judge through the filing of a false

14

affidavit. . . (internal citations omitted)). Although attorneys may have an obligation to

15

consider the record in the light most favorable to their clients when certifying a motion

16

for recusal, there is a difference between presenting the facts in a way that highlights the

17

clients interests and misstating or mischaracterizing the facts in order to effect

18

reassignment of a case. The Court need not determine whether counsel have acted

19

improperly here, however, because the certificates filed by Movants counsel are legally

20

insufficient on their face. The four attorneys bringing this motion on behalf of Movants

21

have signed an identical certificate stating only that the associated affidavit from Joseph

22

M. Arpaio for the recusal of Judge G. Murray Snow is made in good faith. (Doc. 1117,

23

Exs. 1113.) Counsel has not, however, personally certified that there is a good faith

24

basis for the substantive factual allegations contained therein, nor that the Motion itself

25

has been filed in good faith. Each certificate is therefore in disregard of the statutory

26

mandate. The Court, therefore, denies Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridans

27

alternative Motion to Recuse pursuant to 144 as legally insufficient.

In early May 2015, the Court received an Application of Attorney for Admission

18

to Practice Pro Hac Vice from Mr. Jonathan A. Moseley, who practices in Virginia. The

19

application was accompanied by a two page letter dated May 2, 2015 and a three page

20

document entitled Additional Information. Mr. Moseley subsequently filed a Motion to

21

Intervene in this action on behalf of Dennis Montgomery, along with various other

22

motions and memoranda. (See Docs. 1057, 1058, 1067, stricken by Doc. 1093.)

23

Following a status conference at which Mr. Moseley was invited to appear telephonically

24

in support of his request for admission pro hac vice, and at which he did not appear, the

25

Court denied Mr. Moseleys application. (See Doc. 1093.) Mr. Moseley now moves for

26

reconsideration of his application for admission on the grounds that (1) the record does

27

not reflect the existence of any conflict of interest between Mr. Moseleys representation

28

of Sheriff Joseph Arpaio in another action and his intended representation of Mr.

Montgomery in this case; (2) Mr. Montgomerys Sixth Amendment right to counsel
would be violated if Mr. Moseley is unable to represent him pro hac vice; and (3) the
Court should recuse itself. (Doc. 1112.) Mr. Montgomery has since filed three
supplements to this Motion. (Docs. 1140, 1160, 1161.)
Local Rule of Civil Procedure 7.2(g) provides that a party seeking reconsideration
of a ruling shall, in that motion, point out with specificity the matters that the movant
believes were overlooked or misapprehended by the Court, any new matters being
brought to the Courts attention for the first time and the reasons they were not presented
earlier, and any specific modifications being sought in the Courts Order. The movant
may not repeat any argument previously made in support of the motion that resulted in
the challenged order. L.R. Civ. 7.2(g). Motions for reconsiderations are disfavored, and
will ordinarily not be granted absent a showing of manifest error or a showing of new
facts or legal authority that could not have been brought to its attention earlier with
reasonable diligence. Id.; Morgal v. Maricopa Cnty. Bd. of Supervisors, No. CIV-070670-PHX-RCB, 2012 WL 2368478, at *1 (D. Ariz. June 21, 2012) (noting motions for
reconsideration should be granted only in rare circumstances). As with all motions,
failure to comply with the local rules of procedure are grounds for denial of the motion.
L.R. Civ. 7.2(g).
As a preliminary matter, Mr. Moseleys challenge of the Courts articulated
concern that his admission could create a conflict of interest fails to advance any grounds
different from those contained in his Clarification of Motion for Admittance Pro Hac
Vice, filed prior to the Court heard argument on his application for admission. (See Doc.
1080); L.R. Civ. 7.2(g) (No motion for reconsideration of an Order may repeat any . . .
argument made by the movant in support of or in opposition to the motion that resulted in
the Order.). Moreover, his Motion for Reconsideration does not address the issues raised
at the status conference the Court held in these matters on May 14, 2015, at which Mr.
Moseleys application was discussed and, ultimately, denied.1 Under the Arizona Rules

of Professional Conduct, a lawyer may not represent a client if the representation


involves a concurrent conflict of interest, such as where the representation of one client
will be directly adverse to another client or where there is a significant risk that the
representation of one or more clients will be materially limited by the lawyer's
responsibilities to another client . . . . E.R. 1.7(a). Attorneys admitted pro hac vice are
held to the same professional responsibilities and ethical standards as regular
counsel. . . . Cole v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for the Dist. of Idaho, 366 F.3d 813, 822 (9th Cir.
2004). The comments to E.R. 1.7 offer some guidance on whether an impermissible
conflict exists: the comments provide that a lawyer may not act as an advocate in one
matter against a person the lawyer represents in some other matter, even when the matters
are wholly unrelated. A conflict may also exist by reason of substantial discrepancy in
the parties testimony, [or] incompatibility in positions in relation to an opposing
party . . . . E.R. 1.7 (advisory notes).
The interests of Mr. Montgomery are adverse to the interests of Sheriff Arpaio and
the MCSO, or at least the risk of such adversity, is sufficiently present to warrant denying
Mr. Moseleys application to represent the former. (See also Doc. 1145 (noting the
parties differences with some positions taken by Mr. Moseley)). Mr. Moseley concedes
that he has an attorney-client relationship with Sheriff Arpaio stemming from his
affiliation with Freedom Watch, which represents the Sheriff in another action in the
Circuit Court for the District of Columbia challenging President Obamas executive
action on immigration. Mr. Moseley seeks admission on behalf of Mr. Montgomery, who
was hired as a confidential informant by the MCSO. Sheriff Arpaio has testified in this
action that the material MCSO received from Mr. Montgomery was junk. (Tr. of Apr.
23, 2015 Evid. Hrg 650:2025, Docs. 1027.). Facts involving the Seattle operation and
the credibility of Mr. Montgomery are squarely before this Court, at least insofar as those

26
27
28

conference, but he gave no indication of his presence during the initial counsel roll call
or, later, when directly addressed by the Court at this time the issues of his application
and the potential conflict of interest it posed were raised. (See Tr. May 14, 2015 Status
Conf. 32, Doc. 1097.)

issues reflect the truthfulness of testimony offered in this matter, and the MCSOs efforts,
or lack thereof, in implementing this Courts orders at the same time it may have been
devoting resources to funding an investigation to possibly discredit this Court. Therefore,
Mr. Moseleys litigating of Mr. Montgomerys stake in the evidence at issue, the validity
of which has been repudiated by Sheriff Arpaio, will most likely involve credibility
determinations and competing factual testimony. This would seem to necessarily impact
the attorney-client relationships Mr. Moseley has with Mr. Montgomery and Sheriff
Arpaio, and likely violate his duty of loyalty to one or both of them. Further, Sheriff
Arpaio has objected on the record to the positions taken by Mr. Moseley in one of his
supplemental pleadings for admission pro hac vice: Putative intervenors attorneys
Klayman and Mosely [sic] neither represent Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridan,
nor speak for the interests of the MCSO in this action or in any proceeding related to this
action. (Doc. 1145 at 2.) This is additional evidence that there is sufficient adversity of
interests to deny Mr. Moseleys request for admission. The Court has a recognized
interest in ensuring that the proceedings in this case are conducted within the standards of
the profession. Cf. Wheat v. United States, 486 U.S. 153, 160 (1988).
In addition to the potential conflict posed by Mr. Moseleys application for
admission, there is evidence that Mr. Moseleys representation of Mr. Montgomery
would stand in the way of the orderly administration of justice. Mr. Moseley attached a
letter dated May 02, 2015 to his pro hac vice application. There is a notation on the letter
that counsel of record were sent copies of his application and accompanying materials;
yet, no other attorney in this action has ever received these documents from Mr. Moseley.
In the letter, Mr. Moseley claims that his appearance would be for the purpose of
presenting answers to this Court. However, before his application for admission pro hac
vice was considered, Mr. Moseley filed several substantive motions not previously
referenced in his application or accompanying letter. Mr. Moseley subsequently
acknowledged that portions of the letter relating to his filing of an amicus curiae brief for
Sheriff Arpaio were also inaccurate. Following that, Mr. Moseley attempted to withdraw

the letter in its entirety. Then, Mr. Moseley reached out to the Court about appearing
telephonically in support of his Motion for Reconsideration and failed to do so or explain
his absence, although he contacted the Court about obtaining a transcript of the
proceedings following their conclusion. At the hearing, Plaintiffs provided the Court with
information that raises additional concerns about Mr. Moseleys ethical fitness to be
admitted to practice in this district pro hac vice. (Tr. May 14, 2015 Status Conf. 34:22
39:9, Doc. 1097 (referencing Moseley v. Virginia State Bar, ex rel. Seventh Dist. Comm.,
280 Va. 1, 1, 694 S.E.2d 586, 588 (2010)).) Mr. Moseleys engagement in this action to
date demonstrates a substantial likelihood that his conduct would hinder the efficacious
administration of justice if he were to be admitted. Where an out-of-state attorney
strongly suggests through his behavior that he will neither abide by the court's rules and
practices . . . nor be readily answerable to the court, the judge may reject his pro hac
vice application. Ries, 100 F.3d at 1471. Mr. Moseley fails to demonstrate how the
Courts previous denial of his application amounted to manifest error.
The second point in Mr. Moseleys Motion for Reconsideration is also misplaced.
There is no constitutional right to counsel in a civil action, which this is. United States v.
Sardone, 94 F.3d 1233, 1236 (9th Cir. 1996). Further, in any case, a litigants right
to choose his counsel is not unlimited and may give way to serve a compelling purpose
such as the efficient and orderly administration of justice. United States v. Walters, 309
F.3d 589, 59192 (9th Cir. 2002); see also United States v. Ries, 100 F.3d 1469 (9th Cir.
1996) (finding court may impinge on right to have chosen attorney admitted pro hac vice
where the attorneys admission is sought for a dilatory purpose or is otherwise subversive
of the ethical and orderly judicial process). For the reasons stated above, the record
strongly suggests that admission of Mr. Moseley would indeed interfere with the orderly
adjudication of this case. Thus, the interest underlying the Courts denial of Mr.
Moseleys application also provides a sufficiently compelling reason to warrant depriving
Mr. Montgomery of his preferred choice of counsel.
Mr. Moseleys third point is a reiteration of previous arguments made in support

1. On May 07, 2015, Magistrate Judge John Z. Boyle issued a ruling regarding the

20

applicability of attorney-client privilege and/or work-product immunity to certain

21

disclosures made by Thomas Liddy and Karen Clark, on behalf of former defense

22

counsel Timothy Casey. (See Doc. 1053.) Subsequent to this order, Chief Deputy

23

Gerard Sheridan voluntarily disclosed Mr. Caseys mental impressions, opinions,

24

and advice in an interview with the Arizona Republic.1 Thus, the matter is referred

back to Judge Boyle for re-evaluation on the continued applicability of the opinion

work-product doctrine to these materials in light of Chief Deputy Sheridans


statements to the press. Although, of course, Judge Boyle will fix any briefing
schedule, the Court requests that if the parties wish to brief the issue they do so
expeditiously.
2. The Application of Attorney for Admission to Practice Pro Hac Vice received by
Jonathon A. Moseley, who practices in Virginia, is denied. The record
demonstrates that actual and potential conflicts of interest exist between Mr.
Moseleys current representation of Sheriff Arpaio in another action and his
proposed representation of Mr. Dennis L. Montgomery before this Court. See E.R.
1.7(a) ([A] lawyer shall not represent a client if the representation involves a
concurrent conflict of interest.); Cole v. U.S. Dist. Court for the Dist. of
Idaho, 366 F.3d 813, 822 (9th Cir. 2004) (Attorneys admitted pro hac vice are
held to the same professional responsibilities and ethical standards as regular
counsel. . . .). Mr. Moseley was given the opportunity to appear telephonically at
the status conference but did not do so. The Court denies Mr. Moseleys
application. Accordingly, his pending Motion to Intervene (Doc. 1057) and
Motion to Disqualify (Doc. 1067) are hereby stricken pursuant to Federal Rule of
Civil Procedure 12(f) and Local Rule 7.2(m)(1).
3. In light of the newly disclosed documents, the Court orders that the parties
proceed as follows so as to effectively manage the discovery period prior to the
continuation of the show cause hearing:
a. The Monitor, pursuant to its authority to evaluate the integrity of MCSOs
operations and compliance efforts, shall investigate matters that are raised
by the documents recently disclosed to them by Defendants. The Parties
shall fully cooperate with such investigations. Although the Monitor has
broad authority to set the direction of an investigation, this authority is
limited by the orders previously entered in this matter. Ongoing
investigations by the MCSO Professional Standards Bureau do not restrict

b. Chief Sherry Kiyler is authorized to be involved in all investigations
pertaining to recent MCSO disclosures.
c. To the extent that the Monitor interviews persons who are in the employ of
MCSO, any and all counsel may be present at the interviews. All parties
and specially appearing non-parties will have the right to pay for and obtain
transcripts of any interview done by the Monitor.
d. The witness is entitled to counsel at his or her own expense, and is also
entitled to all rights and privileges which are available to him or her under
federal law.
e. The Parties and named non-party contemnors may conduct their own
depositions coextensively with the Monitor, so long as they obtain the
approval of the Monitor prior to scheduling such depositions so as not to
interfere with the Monitors investigation. Copies of transcripts from all
such deposition shall be provided to the Monitor.
f. Aspects of the Seattle operation are germane to the show cause
proceedings, and shall be addressed by the Parties insofar as they relate to
the charged bases for contempt or the appropriateness of any remedial
measures. The Court will consult with the Parties on the topics that merit
addressing at the hearings to be resumed on June 16, 2015 once the scope
of relevant issues are sufficiently refined by document review and the
Monitors investigations.

On May 7, 2015, after conducting an in camera review, this Court ruled that

Timothy Caseys mental impressions and opinions regarding litigation strategy based on

the Grissom information and investigation findings, which are contained in a November

6, 2013 letter, are protected from disclosure as opinion work-product, and that immunity

19

has not been waived. (Doc. 1053.) Subsequently, as reported in the Arizona Republic,1

20

Chief Deputy Sheridan made the following comments to the press regarding the Grissom

21

information: (1) The Sheriff and I felt that we should have our lawyer look into the

comment in the event that it was made, and it was credible, because it went to the judges

state of mind; (2) it sat in my desk drawer for a year and a half, until it came out in

hearsay; and (3) Timothy Casey told Sheridan and Sheriff Arpaio that there wasnt

enough evidence to take the tip any further. On May 14, 2015, District Judge G. Murray

Snow referred to this Court an evaluation of whether the work-product immunity

continues to apply to the redacted materials appended to Doc. 1053 in light of Chief

Deputy Sheridans statements. (Doc. 1093.) On May 19, 2015, Defendants submitted to

this Court an Objection to Re-evaluation of Disclosures Made on Behalf of Tim Casey.

(Doc. 1107.)

The Court has reviewed Chief Deputy Sheridans statements and Defendants

Objection. For the reasons detailed below, the Court finds that Chief Deputy Sheridans

10

comments waived the work-product immunity only as to the portions of the redacted

11

materials Chief Deputy Sheridan directly disclosed. The Court finds that the waiver does

12

not extend to the other redacted portions of the November 6, 2013 letter that were not

13

directly disclosed by Chief Deputy Sheridan during the interview.

14

Sheridans limited disclosure to the media does not warrant the wholesale disclosure of

15

pages of work-product opinion and litigation strategy outlined by Mr. Casey in the

16

November 6, 2013 letter.

17

I.

Chief Deputy

Waiver of Work-Product Immunity

18

Work-product protections may be waived by voluntary disclosures or using the at-

19

issue materials as evidence at trial. See, e.g., United States v. Nobles, 422 U.S. 225, 239

20

(1975); Hernandez, 604 F.3d 1095, 1100 (9th Cir. 2010). The disclosure of work-product

21

materials to a third party can result in waiver if the material is disclosed in a manner

22

inconsistent with keeping it from an adversary. In re Chevron Corp., 633 F.3d 153, 165

23

(3d Cir. 2011) (citation and quotations omitted); Westinghouse Elec. Corp. v. Republic of

24

Philippines, 951 F.2d 1414, 1428 (3d Cir. 1991).

25

Here, there is no dispute that Chief Deputy Sheridan made the comments detailed

26

in the Arizona Republic article,2 and that the comments are now in the public domain.

27
2

28

During the May 14, 2015 status conference, Chief Deputy Sheridan, who was in
attendance, confirmed that he made the statements attributed to him in the article. (Doc.
1097 at 10:1-11:8.)

19

The Court finds that this disclosure is inconsistent with keeping the protected materials

on those same topics from an adversary.

In their Objection, Defendants argue that Chief Deputy Sheridans comments do

not present any new information or evidence that suddenly put[s] Mr. Caseys mental

impressions and opinions of the Grissom investigation at issue in the contempt

proceedings. Therefore, the news article did not waive the work-product doctrine and the

mental impressions of Mr. Casey are protected. (Doc. 1107 at 4-5.) However, Chief

Deputy Sheridans statements to the press directly, and voluntarily, disclosed Mr. Caseys

conclusions that there was not enough evidence to pursue the Grissom information and

10

use of the information would be unethical. Accordingly, at a minimum, Chief Deputy

11

Sheridans comments waived the work-product protection as to those conclusions as they

12

appear in the November 6, 2013 letter.

13

II.

Scope of Waiver

14

The Court must now determine whether this waiver extends to the other redacted

15

portions of the November 6, 2013 letter that were not directly disclosed by Chief Deputy

16

Sheridan. The Court finds that it does not.

17

Pursuant to Rule 502(a) of the Federal Rules of Evidence, waiver of work-product

18

may extend to undisclosed materials if: the disclosed and undisclosed communications

19

or information concern the same subject matter; and [] they ought in fairness to be

20

considered together. However, the work product doctrine is distinct from and broader

21

than the attorney-client privilege. Nobles, 422 U.S. at 238 n.11. Work product

22

immunity furthers the clients interest in obtaining complete legal advice and creates a

23

protected area in which the lawyer can prepare his case free from adversarial scrutiny.

24

Appleton Papers, Inc. v. EPA, 702 F.3d 1018, 1024-25 (7th Cir. 2012) (citing Hickman,

25

329 U.S. 495, 511 (1947)). Accordingly, disclosure of some documents does not

26

necessarily destroy work-product protection for other documents of the same character.

27

Id. (quoting 8 Wright & Miller, Federal Practice & Procedure, 2024).

28

Further, opinion work-protect is entitled to greater protection. See Fed. R. Civ. P.

26(b)(3)(B) (If the court orders discovery of those materials [for which a party has a

substantial need], it must protect against disclosure of the mental impressions,

conclusions, opinions, or legal theories of a partys attorney or other representative

concerning the litigation.). In light of this heighted protection, [w]hile certainly actual

disclosure of pure mental impressions may be deemed waiver . . . . the underlying

rationale for the doctrine of subject matter waiver has little application in the context of a

pure expression of legal theory or legal opinion. In re Martin Marietta Corp., 856 F.2d

619, 626 (4th Cir. 1988); see also In re EchoStar Communs. Corp., 448 F.3d 1294, 1302

(Fed. Cir. 2006) ([W]ork product waiver only extends to factual or non-opinion work

10

11

Admr U.S. Steel & Carnegie, 17 F.3d 1386, 1422 (11th Cir. 1994) ([T]he subject-matter

12

waiver doctrine does not extend to materials protected by the opinion work product

13

privilege.).

14

Here, Chief Deputy Sheridan disclosed to the press Mr. Caseys conclusions that

15

there wasnt enough evidence to take the tip any further and use of the Grissom

16

information would be unethical. Chief Deputy Sheridans statements, however, do not

17

specifically discuss Mr. Caseys substantive analysis contained in the November 6, 2013

18

letter regarding use of the Grissom information and investigation findings. The Court

19

does not find that these limited statements warrant the disclosure of pages of Mr. Caseys

20

opinion work-product. Further, as the Court has already found, that analysis is not at

21

issue in the current proceedings. For these reasons, the Court finds that Chief Deputy

22

Sheridans waiver of the work-product immunity is limited to the specific information he

23

disclosed and does not extend to the other redacted portions of the November 6, 2013

24

letter. The Court will remove the redactions of those portions of the letter no longer

25

protected by the work-product immunity.3

26
27
28

The newly-released text in the November 6, 2013 letter can be found at the end of
Section A (page 2) and the beginning of Section E (pages 13 and 14).

Conclusion

For the reasons discussed above, the Court finds that Chief Deputy Sheridans

statements to the press waived the work-product protections as to the redacted portions of

the November 6, 2013 letter that are specifically addressed in those statements. The

waiver, however, does not extend to the other redacted portions of the letter that were not

discussed by Chief Deputy Sheridan in the interview. A copy of the newly-redacted

November 6, 2013 letter is attached to this Order.

At the Status Conference today the Court mentioned receiving an Application of

20

Attorney for Admission to Practice Pro Hac Vice Pursuant to LRCiv 83.1(b)(2) from Mr.

21

Jonathon A. Moseley who practices in Virginia. The application was accompanied by

22

both a two page letter dated May 2, 2015 and a three page document entitled Additional

23

Information.

24

In the two page letter noted as being copied to all counsel Mr. Moseley

25

indicates he is a staff attorney working for the public interest law firm Freedom Watch,

26

Inc. and that he seeks to intervene in this action on behalf of Dennis Montgomery,

27

Freedom Watch apparently represents Mr. Montgomery in Florida defamation litigation.

28

In the letter Mr. Moseley is apparently critical of the testimony of Sheriff Arpaio or Chief

Mr. Moseley requested that the Additional Information document be filed under

period, and in providing his explanation he thought it would be preferable to avoid

mentioning third parties in the public court files.

provided [the additional information] to counsel to allow them to fulfill their

obligations. He indicates in that Additional Information that I also ask that the Court

and the parties consider that I, Jonathon Moseley, am not proposing to actually

participate in the conduct of this case, but merely to sponsor the filing of an Amicus

10

He nevertheless avows that he

Curiae brief for Sheriff Joe Arpaio by attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch.

11

This statement of representation appears to be inconsistent with that stated in his

12

letter. As confirmed with Ms. Iafrate at the Status Conference, Mr. Klayman represents

13

Sheriff Arpaio in other litigation. To the extent that his law firm seeks to represent Mr.

14

Montgomery in this litigation it appears that such interests may be adverse to those of

15

Sheriff Arpaio and/or Deputy Chief Sheridan who are jointly defended. Because of the

16

confusion regarding this matter, the Court indicated it would take up this matter in its

17

Status Conference set for May 14, 2015 at 9:30 a.m. and would so advise Mr. Moseley.

18

In the meantime, so that counsel can be fully advised, the Court attaches to this Order Mr.

19

Moseleys application and his two-page letter. Consistent with what appear to be Mr.

20

Moseleys intentions, the three page Additional Information document is forwarded to

21

counsel of record only, but not attached to this Order, so that its confidential status may

22

be preserved.

ORDER
[FILED UNDER SEAL]

Defendants.

14
15

On April 27, 2015, District Judge G. Murray Snow referred to this Court an in

16

camera review of two documents to determine whether those documents are protected

17

from disclosure by the attorney-client privilege and/or work-product immunity. (Doc.

18

1033.) On April 29, 2015, Thomas Liddy and Karen Clark, ethics counsel for Thomas

19

Casey, each submitted to Magistrate Judge Boyle: (1) an October 23, 2013 letter from

20

Mr. Casey to an outside private investigator, Don Vogel; and (2) a November 6, 2013

21

letter from Mr. Casey to Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, copied to Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan,

22

Deputy Chief John MacIntyre, and Mr. Liddy.

23

As detailed below, the Court finds that the letters are not protected by the attorney-

24

client privilege or, to the extent the privilege attaches, the privilege has been waived.

25

Additionally, the Court finds that the work-product immunity applies to both letters. Mr.

26

Caseys mental impressions and opinions in the November 6, 2013 letter regarding

27

litigation strategy based on the information provided by the Grissom-investigation

28

materials and findings are protected from disclosure as opinion work-product, and that

immunity has not been waived. The Court will therefore redact those mental impressions

and opinions. However, the immunity as to remaining portions of the letters has been

waived.

Attorney-Client Privilege

Where legal advice of any kind is sought from a professional legal advisor in his

capacity as such, communications relating to that purpose, made in confidence by [a]

client are, at his instance[,] permanently protected from disclosure by himself or by the

legal advisor, unless the protection be waived. In re Fischel, 557 F.2d 209, 211 (9th Cir.

1977) (internal numbering omitted).

10

The attorney-client privilege conceals only those communications and advice that

11

the client has a reasonable expectation will remain solely within the knowledge of the

12

client, the attorney, and the necessary agents of each. Id. at 212; United States v. Ruehle,

13

583 F.3d 600, 609 (9th Cir. 2009) (finding a clients communication to his attorney was

14

not made in confidence where it was made for the purpose of transmission to outside

15

auditor). Confidentiality must be affirmatively established by the privilege proponent

16

and is not presumed. See Weil v. Inv./Indicators, Research & Mgmt., Inc., 647 F.2d 18,

17

25 (9th Cir. 1981) ([T]he burden of proving that the attorney-client privilege applies

18

rests . . . with the party asserting it.); In re Grand Jury Proceedings, Thursday Special

19

Grand Jury Sept. Term, 1991, 33 F.3d 342, 354 (4th Cir. 1994) ([T]he mere relationship

20

between the attorney and the client does not warrant a presumption of confidentiality.).

21

Additionally, [t]he attorney-client privilege may extend to communications with

22

third parties who have been engaged to assist the attorney in providing legal advice. If

23

the advice sought is not legal advice, but, for example, accounting advice from an

24

accountant, then the privilege does not exist. United States v. Richey, 632 F.3d 559, 566

25

(9th Cir. 2011) (citing Weil, 647 F.2d at 24). What is vital to the privilege is that the

26

communication be made in confidence for the purpose of obtaining legal advice from the

27

lawyer. United States v. Gurtner, 474 F.2d 297, 288-99 (9th Cir. 1973) (emphasis in

28

original) (quoting United States v. Kovel, 296 F.2d 918, 922 (2d Cir. 1961)).

Finally, when the client voluntarily discloses privileged communications to

someone outside the attorney-client relationship, the privilege is waived. Tennenbaum v.

Deloitte & Touche, 77 F.3d 337, 341 (9th Cir. 1996). The voluntary disclosure of a

privileged communication may also destroy the privilege as to other communications

relating to the same subject matter that, in fairness, ought to be considered together.

Weil, 647 F.2d at 24; Fed. R. Evid. 502(a).

a. October 23, 2013 Letter

The October 23, 2013 letter is authored by Mr. Casey and addressed to Mr. Vogel,

an outside private investigator retained by Mr. Casey as authorized by MCSO and Sheriff

10

Arpaio. The letter details Mr. Caseys retention of Mr. Vogel as an investigator and the

11

scope of Mr. Vogels investigation. Based on the letter, Mr. Casey engaged Mr. Vogel to

12

conduct an investigation of allegations made by Ms. Grissom, including conducting

13

interviews of third parties, obtaining witness statements, and assessing the credibility of

14

the allegations.

15

Even assuming Mr. Caseys October 23, 2013 communication to Mr. Vogel was

16

sufficiently made in confidence and the privilege attaches, the Court finds that the

17

privilege was waived by Sheriff Arpaios and Chief Sheridans hearing testimony.

18

Sheriff Arpaio testified that: (1) he received an email from Ms. Grissom regarding a

19

comment allegedly made about him in a restaurant by Judge Snows wife; (2) Mr. Casey

20

retained a private investigator to conduct an investigation of the information provided by

21

Ms. Grissom; (3) as part of that investigation, the private investigator interviewed alleged

22

witnesses; and (4) the results of the investigation were that the investigator confirmed the

23

alleged comment was made. (Doc. 1027 at 647:19-648:9, 654:6-655:12.) By voluntarily

24

making these disclosures in open court, and by failing to object to questions and

25

testimony about these topics, Sheriff Arpaio waived any attorney-client privilege as to the

26

October 23, 2013 letter containing much of the same information. Tennenbaum, 77 F.3d

27

at 341; United States v. Sanders, 979 F.2d 87, 92 (7th Cir. 1992) (holding that failure to

28

object during testimony constitutes waiver); Nguyen v. Excel Corp., 197 F.3d 200, 206

(5th Cir. 1999) (A client waives the attorney-client privilege, however, by failing to

502(a).

Further, Ms. Iafrate, Sheriff Arpaios and MCSOs attorney, elicited these and

additional details regarding the Grissom investigationthe same subject matter discussed

in the October 23, 2013 letterfrom Chief Sheridan during his testimony. (Doc. 1030 at

960:21-964:6, 966:24-967:9.) Therefore, any attorney-client privilege as to the October

23, 2013 letter was also waived by Chief Sheridans testimony in response to Ms.

Iafrates questions.

10

b. November 6, 2013 Letter

11

The November 6, 2013 letter from Mr. Casey to Sheriff Arpaio was copied to

12

Deputy Chief MacIntyre. There is no basis for this Court to find that Deputy Chief

13

MacIntyre needed to receive the November 6, 2013 letter and, therefore, the Court finds

14

that the attorney-client privilege does not attach to the November 6, 2013 letter. See

15

Coastal States Gas Corp. v. Dept of Energy, 617 F.2d 854, 863 (D.C. Cir. 1980)

16

(quoting Mead Data Cent., Inc. v. U.S. Dept of Air Force, 566 F.2d 242, 253 n.24 (D.C.

17

Cir. 1977)) (The test . . . is whether the agency is able to demonstrate that the

18

documents, and therefore the confidential information contained therein, were circulated

19

no further than among those members of the organization who are authorized to speak or

20

act for the organization in relation to the subject matter of the communication.). This

21

conclusion is consistent with Judge Snows previous ruling that the privilege did not

22

attach to different communications distributed to Deputy Chief MacIntyre. (See Doc.

23

986.) Further, even if the privilege attached to the November 6, 2013 letter, for the

24

reasons explained above, the privilege was waived by Sheriff Arpaios and Chief

25

Sheridans hearing testimony on the same subject matters.

26

II.

Work-Product Immunity

27

To qualify for work-product protection, documents must: (1) be prepared in

28

anticipation of litigation or for trial and (2) be prepared by or for another party or by or

for that other partys representative. In re Grand Jury Subpoena, Mark Torf/Torf Envtl.

Mgmt., 357 F.3d 900, 907 (2003); Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(3). The party asserting the work-

product immunity has the burden of demonstrating that the at-issue documents are work-

product. Hernandez v. Tanninen, 604 F.3d 1095, 1102 (9th Cir. 2010) (recognizing

burden is on party invoking work-product immunity).

The Court finds that both of the letters were prepared by Mr. Casey in anticipation

of litigation, as each letter was prepared because and in the course of the underlying

litigation. In re Grand Jury Subpoena, 357 F.3d at 907 (citing Charles Alan Wright,

Arthur R. Miller, and Richard L. Marcus, 8 Federal Practice & Procedure 2024 (2d ed.

10

1994)). Further, portions of the November 6, 2013 letter contain Mr. Caseys mental

11

impressions and opinions regarding litigation strategy. See Hickman v. Taylor, 329 U.S.

12

495, 522 (1947) (Work-product protection is designed to prevent parties from

13

perform[ing] its functions either without wits or on wits borrowed from the adversary.);

14

Holmgren v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 976 F.2d 573, 576 (9th Cir. 1992).

15

Therefore, both letters are covered by the work-product immunity.

16
17
18

Below, the Court addresses whether the letters are nonetheless subject to
disclosure based on waiver and/or a compelling need.
a. Waiver

19

Work-product protections may be waived by voluntary disclosures or using the at-

20

issue materials as evidence at trial. See, e.g., United States v. Nobles, 422 U.S. 225, 239

21

(1975); Hernandez, 604 F.3d at 1100 (9th Cir. 2010) (finding that the work-product

22

protection for attorneys notes of a witness interview was waived with regard to the

23

subject matter covered). The disclosure of work-product materials to a third party can

24

result in waiver if the material is disclosed in a manner inconsistent with keeping it from

25

an adversary. In re Chevron Corp., 633 F.3d 153, 165 (3d Cir. 2011) (citation and

26

quotations omitted); Westinghouse Elec. Corp. v. Republic of Philippines, 951 F.2d 1414,

27

1428 (3d Cir. 1991). Further, pursuant to Rule 502(a) of the Federal Rules of Evidence,

28

waiver of work-product may extend to undisclosed materials if: the disclosed and

24

undisclosed communications or information concern the same subject matter; and [] they

ought in fairness to be considered together.

However, the work product doctrine is distinct from and broader than the

attorney-client privilege. Nobles, 422 U.S. at 238 n.11. Work product immunity

furthers the clients interest in obtaining complete legal advice and creates a protected

area in which the lawyer can prepare his case free from adversarial scrutiny. Appleton

Papers, Inc. v. EPA, 702 F.3d 1018, 1024-25 (7th Cir. 2012) (citing Hickman, 329 U.S. at

511). Accordingly, disclosure of some documents does not necessarily destroy work-

product protection for other documents of the same character. Id. (quoting 8 Wright &

10

Miller, Federal Practice & Procedure, 2024).

11

Here, the Court finds that Sheriff Arpaios and Chief Sheridans disclosures

12

regarding the retention of Mr. Vogel, the scope of the Grissom investigation, and the

13

investigation findings, including findings regarding whether the Grissom information is

14

credible, constitute a waiver of the work-product immunity covering those portions of the

15

October 23, 2013 and November 6, 2013 letters that relate to the same subject matters.

16

However, the Court finds that the waiver does not extend to Mr. Caseys mental

17

impressions and opinions in the November 6, 2013 letter regarding litigation strategy

18

based on the information provided by the Grissom investigation materials and findings.1

19

First, the testimony did not cover Mr. Caseys mental impressions and opinions on that

20

issue. See Hernandez, 604 F.3d at 1100 (The work product privilege is also only waived

21

with respect to matters covered in . . . testimony.) (quoting Nobles, 422 U.S. at 239-

22

40). Second, Defendants have not thus far used the Grissom investigation information in

23

these proceedings. Further, Mr. Caseys mental impressions and opinions regarding

24

litigation strategy based on that information do not relate to Defendants failures to

25

implement the Courts Orders and the Courts determination of the appropriate remedies

26

for such failures. Therefore, those portions of the November 6, 2013 letter do not relate

27
1

28

The Court identifies the subject matter of the protected mental impressions and opinions
contained in the November 6, 2013 letter so that the parties are clear as to the scope of
the Courts findings.

to the issues in the current contempt proceedings, and, need not in fairness be disclosed.

See Fed. R. Evid. 502(a).

The Court will redact those mental impressions and opinions from the November

6, 2013 letter. See United States v. Deloitte LLP, 610 F.3d 129, 139 (D.C. Cir. 2010)

(remanding to the district court for the purpose of independently assessing whether the

document was entirely work-product, or whether a partial or redacted version of the

document could have been disclosed); United States v. $1,379,879.09 Seized From Bank

of America, 374 Fed. Appx. 709, 711 (9th Cir. 2010) (unpublished) (records should be

redacted only to the extent absolutely necessary to protect information covered by the

attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine).

Finally, the opinion work-product in the November 6, 2013 letter that has not been
waived may still be subject to disclosure under limited circumstances.

Holmgren, 976

F.2d at 577. Specifically, a party seeking opinion work-product must show that mental
impressions are at issue in a case and the need for the material is compelling. Id. This
standard requires a showing beyond the substantial need/undue hardship test required
under Rule 26(b)(3) for non-opinion work product. Id. (citing Upjohn Co. v. United
States, 449 U.S. 383, 401-02 (1981)).
Here, as stated above, Mr. Caseys mental impressions regarding litigation
strategy based on the Grissom information and investigation findings does not relate to
the issues in the current contempt proceedings. Therefore, the other parties do not have a
compelling need for those portions of the November 6, 2013 letter.2

Because, as discussed above, the Court finds that the immunity has been waived as to
the other work-product in the two letters, the Court need not address whether any party
has established a substantial or compelling need for those portions of the letters.
Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(3) (A party may obtain non-opinion work-product upon a showing
that it has substantial need for the materials to prepare its case and cannot, without
undue hardship, obtain their substantial equivalent by other means.); Holmgren, 976

III.

Based on the above, the Court finds that the attorney-client privilege (to the extent

it attaches) has been waived as to both letters. Further, Mr. Caseys mental impressions

and opinions regarding litigation strategy based on the Grissom information and

investigation findings, which are contained in the November 6, 2013 letter, are protected

from disclosure as opinion work-product, and that immunity has not been waived. The

work-product immunity as to the remaining portions of the letters has been waived.

Conclusion

The Court encloses with this sealed Order a sealed, redacted version of the

November 6, 2013 letter. Unless the Court receives objections regarding lifting the seal

10

by Tuesday, May 13, 2015 at 5:00 P.M., the Court will unseal this Order and the

11

appended, redacted document.

12

The Court further advises the parties that as discussed in Judge Snows April 27,

13

2015 Order, they are still obligated to take any remedial measures required by Ethics

14

Rule 3.3 with regard to Sheriff Arpaios hearing testimony. (See Doc. 1033.)

19

at the Show Cause proceedings and in this Courts April 27, 2015 Order (Doc. 1032).

20

First, Defendants have requested time to review the sequestered documents for

21

attorney-client privilege, work-product immunity, and/or any other applicable privilege.

22

To the extent that this amounts to an objection by Defendants to the Courts previous

23

directions that the documents be transmitted as soon as is reasonably possible, (see id.

24

at 1), the Court hereby orders that Defendants expeditiously complete their privilege

25

review of all documents, memoranda, reports, records, notes, e-mails, social media

26

messages, photographs, audio/video recordings, contracts, meeting minutes, timesheets,

27

financial records, or other materials disclosed to the Monitor during the evidentiary

hearing that pertain to the Seattle, Washington/Dennis Montgomery and Grissom

investigations, and turn over Bates-stamped copies to the Plaintiffs and the Monitor by

the May 8, 2015 status conference. The Court notes that counsel for Defendants were

present and conducting a review for privilege contemporaneously with the initial

disclosure of documents to the Monitor. Counsel has now had over a week to continue

this process. No further production has apparently occurred, however, since the date of

this Courts initial orders on April 23 and 24. The process set forth by the Court with

respect to these documents is necessary in light of Defendants history of spoliation of

evidence and non-compliance with orders relating to document discovery. Defendants are

to promptly respond to all related future requests for documents by the Monitor by either

10

producing the materials sought or seeking an appropriate protective order from the Court.

11

Second, Defendants contention that Sheriff Arpaios due process rights were

12

implicated by the April 23, 2015 colloquy with the Court is untimely and without merit.

13

The Court notes at the outset that Defendants have requested no specific relief stemming

14

from this objection. The Federal Rules of Evidence extend to the Court the right to

15

participate in questioning, and even call its own, witnesses. Fed. R. Evid. 614. The Court

16

also has inherent power to compel testimony, concomitant with its authority to police

17

litigants whose actions show bad faith or the intent to hamper enforcement of court

18

orders. See Chambers v. NASCO, Inc., 501 U.S. 32, 46 (1991). Furthermore, incident to

19

their responsibility to ensure the fairness of the process for all parties, trial courts have an

20

obligation to clarify the evidence presented and ensure that all facts relevant to the

21

proceedings are brought out. United States v. Parker, 241 F.3d 1114, 1119 (9th Cir.

22

2001). It follows that the Courts intervention in witness examination is particularly

23

appropriate when one party has restricted the others ability to develop an evidentiary

24

record through pre-trial discovery.

25

Neither Sheriff Arpaios civil nor criminal counsel objected to the examination at

26

the time, and counsel for Defendants elicited testimony on the same subject matter from

27

Chief Deputy Sheridan the following day. Defendants offer no precedent for their

28

assertion that a fact witness in a legal proceeding is entitled to notice of all questions that

might be posed to him. The questions posed by the Court, and later by defense counsel,

relate to the efficacy and integrity of MCSOs internal investigative processes, the

agencys approach to addressing conflicts of interest, and the relative resistance of

MCSOs command staff to the authority of the federal court. As the Court explained

during the hearing, whether the events giving rise to the charged bases in the Order to

Show Cause were isolated incidents of non-compliance or a reflection of a larger pattern

of the Maricopa County Sheriffs Offices subversion of this Courts orders is relevant

both to the Defendants liability in contempt as well as to the scope of appropriate

remedies for Defendants conduct. Defendants objection is, therefore, overruled.

Third, consistent with its oral orders on April 24, 2015, the Court GRANTS

11

Defendants Motion to Seal Document 1021 Transcript (Doc. 1038). The Court directs

12

the Clerk of the Court to seal the transcript of the April 22, 2015 Evidentiary Hearing

13

(Doc. 1021) to preserve the privileged nature of the information communicated to the

14

Court by Thomas Liddy, of the Maricopa County Attorneys Office, regarding the nature

15

of his ethical conflict and pending Motion to Withdraw. A version of the transcript that

16

omits the challenged sidebar discussion will be refiled and available for order shortly

17

thereafter. The privileged excerpt of the April 22, 2015 hearing transcript, page 307, line

During the evidentiary hearing on April 23, 2015, the Court ordered the MCSO

18

Defendants1 to immediately disclose certain materials discussed in the Courts colloquy

19

with Sheriff Arpaio. Because of the need for the disclosure to occur on an expedited

20

basis, the documents were not initially Bates stamped for control purposes. Attorney

21

review for privilege was conducted contemporaneously with this production, and dual

22

copies of the documents were made, one of which was provided to the Monitor and the

23

other which was retained by the MCSO Defendants. The MCSO is still in the process of

24

producing some such documents.

The MCSO Defendants shall promptly affix Bates numbers to the documents

disclosed to the Monitor and, as soon as is reasonably possible, transmit copies of the

That would be correct.

Has anyone been disciplined for noncompliance with the

directive to send in video recordings?

A.

I don't know.

10

Ms. Wang, are you at a breaking point?


I can, yes, Your Honor.
All right.

I think that we need to get

And so, Mr. McDonald, if you need to leave, we will

11

let you go.

12

I do have an item of business.

13

874

10:00:37

I promise you there will be no more testimony, but

As I indicated yesterday, I was going to require

14

Ms. Iafrate, Mr. Walker, to give a point of contact so we could

15

have attorney review and production of documents today that I

16

required to be delivered yesterday.

17

I've just been informed that the document

18

representative that Mr. -- that's been provided, I assume they

19

were attorneys you both provided, advised that he's been

20

directed by deputy chief -- or Chief Deputy Sheridan to not

21

release anything until all items are Bates stamped and

22

Ms. Iafrate has seen all items and she approves the release.

23

10:00:54

10:01:07

For reasons I stated yesterday -- and I understand

24

your desire for document control, but for reasons I stated

25

yesterday, it's incredibly important, I think, first that we

when you Bates stamp them.

10

I mean, not without your review.

We'll make some sort of a list of the documents that

But I want those documents

Do you have an issue with that, Chief, that we need --

that we need to discuss or concerns that you wanted to raise

12

that I should consider?

Yes, sir.

All right.

Do you have any issues,

Ms. Iafrate?
MS. IAFRATE:

Your Honor, it does not take long to

19

Bates stamp documents, and I think that because of the control

20

issues that I have been having regarding releasing documents,

21

that's the safest way to document what's in there.

22

10:01:43

THE COURT:

Well, I appreciate that.

10:02:23

But nothing that

23

you've tried so far has worked very well, and we don't have

24

documents that we should have had prior to this proceeding.

25

what I propose is, again, you turn them over.

We'll give you the receipt.

We'll list the

And then we can match them up and Bates stamp

Are you okay with that?

MS. IAFRATE:

I am, except that I would like to

clarify that I believe that what I have been doing has been

working since I've started on this case.

876

THE COURT:

10:02:52

Well, and again, I didn't mean by my

comment to impugn you in any way, but we certainly don't have

10

all the documents that I ordered to be delivered in February,

11

and here we are at the end of March.

12

10:03:06

That's my concern.

And there has been nothing throughout this case, only

13

a small part of which you've been privy to, that makes me

14

believe that we still have all the documents that are relevant

15

to this case, and I'm not going to put up with it any more, and

16

so we're going to proceed in that way.

17

10:03:22

I appreciate your desire for document control, and I

18

don't mean for my frustration to be reflected upon you

19

personally.

20

your best efforts, and I appreciate your belief and your view

21

about Bates stamping documents.

22

I have no reason to think that you haven't used


10:03:37

We will proceed in the way I've suggested so that we

23

can match up documents and Bates stamp them and get a good

24

control.

25

while my monitor team is here.

But I want those documents delivered immediately

There was an investigation that was discussed, someone


called it the Seattle investigation.

16:13:01

Do you know what I'm referring to?

A.

Yes, ma'am.

Q.

What is it?

A.

In a nutshell, the Seattle investigation was where we had a

10

confidential informant that had information about computer

11

tampering crimes, where he had information that the CIA hacked

12

into individual bank accounts, I think there were approximately

13

50,000 of them, Maricopa County residents.

14

their bank account numbers, and their dollar amounts.

15

Q.

Who made the determination to investigate these issues?

16

A.

Sheriff and I.

17

Q.

When you made that determination, did you seek anyone

18

else's advice on how to proceed with this investigation?

19

A.

Yes, ma'am.

20

Q.

Who?

Q.

What became of that investigation?

A.

Eventually, nothing.

Q.

Why is that?

A.

Because we found it difficult to determine the credibility

of the informant.

Q.

criminal case is vital, correct?

A.

Yes, ma'am.

Q.

So if you were doubting the credibility of the confidential

The credibility of an informant in attempting to make a

10

informant, the investigation went nowhere?

11

A.

That's correct.

12

Q.

There was some discussion regarding how you pay

confidential informants.

for that confidential informant?

15

A.

I do.

16

Q.

Where?

17

A.

RICO funds.

Q.

And who is responsible for determining what fund is used?

It's normal standing operating procedure that we pay

informants using those RICO funds.

Do you know the source of the money

What was the source?

There was another investigation that the judge queried

It probably makes sense to only go through

So I'm just going to instruct the parties, I've

instructed Ms. Iafrate, and I think she's doing her best to

comply, to review this material for attorney-client privilege

or work product immunity and do a privilege log, but if she

doesn't, but all the other documents she's providing in Bates

stamped order, and I gather that we may some need to discuss

and work that through to all parties so you're all getting

material that has peoples names, addresses, and telephone

numbers --

actually were documents that are a CIA dump are not correct.

But it occurs to me that if there is a chance that you believe

that you did receive CIA files, if you haven't already done it,

if you have not already done it, I'm going to ask you to

contact the chief counsel for the CIA and inform him that you

received these documents, the date you received these

documents, and see if they wish to intervene in this action and

take any protective measures with respect to these documents.

10

Do you have any problem doing that?

11

MS. IAFRATE:

12

Your Honor.

I think, I think that that would be prudent.

THE COURT:

14

order Ms. Iafrate to do that?

15

MR. YOUNG:

16

MR. WALKER:

17

MR. McDONALD:

18

MR. COMO:

19

THE COURT:

21

09:38:48

I do not have any problem doing that,

13

20

09:38:31

All right.

Any objection by anybody if I

None from plaintiffs, Your Honor.

09:38:59

No objection, Your Honor.


None, Your Honor.

I have none, Your Honor.


All right.

Other issues that you have,

Ms. Iafrate.
MS. IAFRATE:

09:39:08

I do have other issues regarding --

22

regarding that production.

I received a call from Chief Girvin

23

yesterday very concerned regarding the release of these

24

documents to others rather than the monitors, and I advised

25

them that I was ordered to do so by Your Honor in --

09:39:27

RE 176

(227 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-2, Page 182 of 247
CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 5/8/15 Status Conference

THE COURT:

MS. IAFRATE:

THE COURT:

32

And you were.


-- docket 1032.

So --

No, no, you clearly were.

I hadn't

anticipated that you had a document dump like this, so you're

right, I did make that order.

MS. IAFRATE:

09:39:40

So the monitors have received documents

well before plaintiffs, because we were given the opportunity

to then review them and Bates stamp them and get them in order

to send them out to plaintiffs as well as the other attorneys.

10

There is a hard drive that has over two terabytes of data dump

11

on it in sub-folders.

12

THE COURT:

13

MS. IAFRATE:

14

THE COURT:

Are these the alleged CIA documents?


Yes.

This has --

Let me ask, are you -- and I'm sorry to

15

interrupt you -- are you able to segregate what the alleged CIA

16

documents are from other documents that were prepared by

17

Mr. Montgomery?

18

09:39:59

MS. IAFRATE:

To a point, Your Honor.

09:40:16

This hard drive

19

is the one that's most troubling, and I think that it -- I

20

think that the monitors would agree that it would be the most

21

troubling, not only the content that's on this hard drive is

22

personal in nature to hundreds of thousands of alleged victims

23

of identity theft, but also to duplicate it and get it in a

24

process that would be usable for plaintiffs and other attorneys

25

would require weeks of effort on the part of our third-party

09:40:33

09:40:58

RE 177

(228 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-2, Page 183 of 247
CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 5/8/15 Status Conference

33

vendor, and each shot would be approximately $87,000.

So the paper and the thumb drives and the other

information that has been provided to us, we have pushed that

out to plaintiffs, but this hard drive that I believe is

concerning -- and I won't speak for Chief Girvin, but he

expressed concern, too -- this is the bulk of the data dump

that I think that we should be most cautious about.

8

10
11

THE COURT:

All right.

09:41:22

Let me -- well, does anybody

have anything else they want to say before I venture some


thoughts?

09:41:42

It seems to me that we can do this.

In addition to

12

the concern that the monitor raised, he's also indicated to me,

13

at least based on a rough initial look, that there are clearly

14

documents in that file that are very relevant to this

15

litigation.

16

chance to look at that, and I guess -- so I don't want to

17

prevent them from looking at those things, but I see your point

18

that, you know, this data dump -- whether it's real, whether

19

it's false, whether it's partly real, partly false -- may be

20

very large, and may have lots of information.

21

And I believe that the plaintiffs have to have a

09:42:01

09:42:24

Does anybody object if I have my monitor coordinate

22

with Ms. Iafrate in terms of attempting to characterize

23

documents that you have in your possession, but I -- I guess

24

I'll just say just set them aside until the monitor coordinates

25

with Ms. Iafrate, looks at them, determines if their --

determines what their contents is in general, can disclose to

you what their content appears to be in general, and then you

can determine, or we can all determine in these status

conferences, what parts of that larger document file, if any,

are relevant to the ongoing proceeding here.

prevent you from looking at other documents that are not part

of that file.

Does that work for you, Ms. Iafrate?

MS. IAFRATE:

Yes, Your Honor.

And that will not

However, just to

10

complicate matters, I think that there are duplications from

11

the paper documents that have been provided --

12

THE COURT:

13

MS. IAFRATE:

14
15

09:43:31

Already?
Already, and there is some data dump in

those documents as well.


THE COURT:

All right.

Well, I think -- I think, and

16

tell me if you object to this, to the extent that you've

17

already done paper documents and put Bates stamps on them that

18

have been disclosed, we will let the plaintiffs look at those

19

subject to the protective order I just entered, which is they

20

are not to release them without order of this Court.

21

09:43:11

09:43:43

09:43:59

And then I guess I'm going to ask you, Ms. Iafrate,

22

would you please, unless you have an objection to doing so,

23

copy all counsel -- and the Court -- on your letter to -- or on

24

your communication, whatever it is, to counsel for the Central

25

Intelligence Agency?

35

THE COURT:

All right.

Well, is there an issue you

09:44:37

want to talk to me about at sidebar on this?

MS. IAFRATE:

No, I'm just thinking out loud, Your

Honor, that this is a very sensitive matter that relates to CIA

intelligence, and potentially Mr. Montgomery's motive or

10

technique.

I'm just concerned that --

11

THE COURT:

12

MS. IAFRATE:

09:44:53

Well --- I'd like to be as candid as possible,

13

but I'm in an adversary position with plaintiffs' counsel as it

14

relates to my client.

15

THE COURT:

Mr. Young?

16

MR. YOUNG:

Well, Your Honor, plaintiffs have no

09:45:06

17

interest in receiving sensitive information that isn't relevant

18

to this case.

19

would be interested in it, and your suggested -- the Court's

20

suggested procedure to have the monitor make that

MR. YOUNG:

If Ms. Iafrate thinks that she can write a

better letter that's more informative to the CIA without

copying us on it, we're fine not getting it.

THE COURT:

MR. COMO:

All right.

How about you, Mr. Como?

I don't need to be copied on that letter,

THE COURT:

MR. WALKER:

Mr. Walker?
Your Honor, I don't think I need to have

a copy, although I must say I'm confused by this whole

10

discussion, probably primarily because I'm hearing a lot of

11

this for the first time.

12

16

THE COURT:

09:46:01

But the letter --

You were here, sir, with all the rest of

us; you were here.


MR. WALKER:

But to answer the Court's question

directly, I don't believe that I need to receive the letter.


THE COURT:

All right.

09:46:11

Well, you know, I think,

17

Ms. Iafrate, if you can't send it to the parties, I probably

18

ought not to receive it, either, but will authorize you to send

19

it to CIA counsel, ask you to retain a copy because it may

20

become relevant.

21

09:45:49

Your Honor.

36

09:46:28

And it does seem to me -- and I think that if you

22

would, and you can refer to the minutes of this hearing, you

23

can tell the CIA in a letter that we have an ongoing hearing.

24

It's my determination that allegations are relevant to the

25

ongoing hearing, and we're going to proceed with this ongoing

Well you can make them aware of it by the

letter and however else you want to do it.

And perhaps if the

press is here they'll make them aware of it, too, but -- well,

10

I -- but we can't rely on that.

11

they should notify -- they should notify us within two weeks if

12

they want to assert any privilege.

I will let them know.

counsel?

18

MR. YOUNG:

09:47:19

09:47:39

Your Honor, there's one detail, and I'm

19

not sure whether Ms. Iafrate is the right person or not, but we

20

did notice in the sealed order that was filed yesterday by

21

Judge Boyle that there were some interview transcripts that

22

were referred to in the correspondence which were not part of

23

that set of documents that was given to Magistrate Boyle, and

24

it would seem to us and it would be our assumption that as part

25

of the production of the documents that Your Honor ordered

to operate, I'm not going to say so unless the parties don't --

don't request the depositions and I think it's absolutely

necessary.

In conjunction with that, and I'm not sure how many

parties will have received this and how many parties will not

have received this, but I received a request for admission

pro hac vice from a Jonathan Alden Moseley.

it is he indicated that he had provided copies of this request

for admission to all parties of record.

10
11

The reason I raise

He also provided me a

letter with that request for admission pro hac vice.

10:04:46

There are some parts relating to confidential matters

12

pertaining to whether or not I would admit him to practice

13

here, and he requests that they, for the most part, be kept

14

confidential unless they need to be known, and I think I want

15

to honor that request.

16

it's relevant, but my concern is this.

17

10:04:21

I don't see any reason that it -- that

10:05:08

Pursuant to Arizona rules, I admit somebody

18

pro hac vice only if I'm going to admit them as a party to a

19

particular action.

20

people here that are representing others, they are not parties

21

to the action.

22

he's provided inconsistent information, because in his

23

application he says -- I ask -- in his application for his

24

admission pro hac vice, he says I ask that the Court and the

25

parties consider that I, Jonathan Moseley, am not proposing to

Now, I have -- although there are a lot of

50

actually participate in the conduct of this case, but merely to

sponsor the filing of an amicus curiae brief for Sheriff Joe

Arpaio by attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch.

And then, in a letter dated the same date, he says

that he wants to enter an appearance on behalf of Dennis

Montgomery because he says without naming who, but it must

either be Sheriff Arpaio or Sheriff Sheridan, that one of the

witnesses doesn't know what they're talking about with respect

to some of the testimony he's heard that they issued about

10

Dennis Montgomery's work, and that he wants to correct the

11

record and answer any questions, and he will be happy to do

12

that however the Court deems best fit.

13
14

10:06:16

10:06:35

Now, he tells me that he's copied all counsel of


record.

Have you all received this letter?

MR. COMO:

19

THE COURT:

Plaintiffs have not, Your Honor.

10:06:53

I have not, Your Honor.


I have not, Your Honor.

I'm not aware of receiving it.


Well, my concern, I'll just say it, is I

20

know that Mr. Klayman is representing Sheriff Arpaio in the

21

D.C. Circuit action, and it seems to me that if he's trying to

22

represent, and he may be trying to represent Sheriff Arpaio

23

here, he says he is.

24

Dennis Montgomery here, and he says that he's an associate with

25

Mr. Klayman in Freedom Watch.

But then he says he's trying to represent

51

Well, as I understand it, Freedom Watch is a special

interest law firm that's representing Sheriff Arpaio in another

action and cannot then take positions adverse to his

representation here.

So I have some real concerns about granting this

But I

10

appear if he wishes to and seek to be admitted pro hac vice and

11

clarify who and what and why he wants to be admitted

12

13

Montgomery and be critical of testimony offered by the

defendants in this matter, he can do so without a conflict.

to explore prior to that hearing.

I've already discussed with you some of my thoughts

Let me tell you my concerns, and I guess

I'm going to lay them out.


Ms. Iafrate, Mr. Moseley is affiliated with Freedom

22

district court of -- or in the D.C. Circuit now, so he has an

MS. IAFRATE:

No, Your Honor, we're not withdrawing

it.
THE COURT:

If that's the case, then it seems to me

10

like it's just not possible for Mr. Moseley, without creating a

11

conflict, to represent Mr. Montgomery in this action while

12

representing Sheriff Arpaio in another action and challenging

13

the validity of Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridan's

14

statements about Mr. Moseley in this action.

15

not appearing, and so it is my determination that I'm going to

16

deny his petition -- or application for admission to practice

18

conflict in this case.

MS. IAFRATE:

And Mr. Moseley's


10:14:29

Well, Your Honor, it's unfortunate that

20

Mr. Moseley is not here because this is his motion, not mine.

21

However, all that I can tell you is that within his pleading

22

papers they're saying that there is no conflict.

23

to ask -- I was hopeful that Mr. Moseley would be on the phone

24

so that we could ask how could he say that.

I'm going to deny

10:15:54

16

Mr. Moseley's application for admission to practice pro hac

17

vice without prejudice if he wants to appear and take it up.

18

But even if I admit him pro hac vice, we still have to then

19

deal with his motion to intervene, which strikes me, as I said,

20

to be a little bit problematic, anyway.

But that's --

21

Did you want to be heard on that, Mr. Young?

MR. YOUNG:

10:15:23

35

additional reasons beyond what Your Honor has just stated, and

I'll state those on the record now since the motion may be

renewed.

Under Local Rule 83.1(b)(2), this is a discretionary

issue for the Court under United States versus Ries,

100 F.3d 1469 (9th Cir. 1996):

strongly suggests through his behavior that he will neither

abide by the court's rules and practices - thus impeding the

'orderly administration of Justice' - nor be readily answerable

So we believe that that letter by itself is indicative of

disruption and, frankly, the possibility of improper activity

if he were to be admitted.

That's also not true, because he

not be a wise thing to have him admitted.

Even more seriously, although Mr. Moseley's letter


refers to a Virginia Supreme Court case relating to his earlier

10

suspension from practice for a period of six months in that

11

court, I believe looking at the Virginia Supreme Court decision

12

will disclose that there is a lot that has not been disclosed

13

to this Court, and the citation for it is 694 S.E.2d.

THE COURT:

Wait.

MR. YOUNG:

And I have copies of the

17

THE COURT:

Yes, please provide copies.

18

MR. YOUNG:

Now, what happened in the Virginia case

19

that caused Mr. Moseley's suspension was that there was a key

20

document with an arbitration clause which was not disclosed

21

prior to a hearing by Mr. Moseley.

22

10:19:57

10:21:15

At the hearing, and this is what Mr. Moseley does not

23

say, according to the Virginia Supreme Court, on

24

cross-examination Mr. Moseley's client admitted that he had

25

given a copy of that document to Mr. Moseley, and that that

in Virginia decided, well, that's not proper behavior, and they

suspended him for that.

So the courts

In addition, the Virginia court noted -- and this is

also omitted from Mr. Moseley's letter to you -- the court

found that Mr. Moseley filed in excess of 80 pleadings and

motions in the case and used abusive discovery tactics and

filed frivolous pleadings.

10

The court also found that Mr. Moseley wrote letters to

11

the adverse party that were unprofessional and intended to

12

intimidate and harass.

13

in that case issued an absurd decision, was a wacko judge who

14

he believed was bribed, and he believed that opposing counsel

15

were demonically empowered.

And Mr. Moseley stated that the judge

the documents that have been produced, which I won't go into,

that statement also is false.

We believe that for the reasons that

So for making all these false statements to the Court,

and for the behavior that led him to be suspended in the

Virginia bar, we believe that any application for pro hac vice

appearance in this case by Mr. Moseley should be denied.

they were representing the CIA and they said no.

I asked them

if they had authority from the CIA for me to give them the

involve Dennis Montgomery as a confidential informant.

The

10

documents seem to reveal that as at least part of their

11

operations, the Seattle operatives attempted to construct an

12

alleged conspiracy that supposedly involved this Court; one of

13

this Court's former law clerks; Eric Holder, the attorney

14

general of the United States; Lanny Breuer, the Chief Deputy

15

Attorney General of the United States in charge of the criminal

16

division; Phil Gordon, the mayor of Phoenix; and Brian Sands,

17

the executive chief of the MCSO.

18

conspiracy was apparently to covertly investigate the MCSO and

19

deprive the sheriff and the MCSO of the due process of law in

20

this particular case and in a related case brought against the

21

sheriff by the DOJ.

22

The purpose of the alleged

10:32:22

This Seattle operation work product seems to purport

23

that by allegedly using a database of information harvested by

24

the CIA and confiscated by him, Mr. Montgomery was able to

25

reproduce fragments of e-mails that had been sent in 2009 and

10

Anyway, the documents purport to track telephone calls

11

between this Court, Eric Holder, Lanny Breuer, and Dennis Burke

12

to reproduce those phone calls which occurred years earlier.

13

And between the Court and one of its former law clerks, who

14

apparently allegedly was supposed to have served as this

15

Court's liaison with the Department of Justice regarding this

16

case.

17

10:32:56

10:33:15

10:33:35

The documents appear to allege or suggest that this

18

Court had contact with the Department of Justice about this

19

case before the Court was ever assigned to it.

20

seems to suggest that when Judge Murguia recused from this

21

case, the random selection process of this Court was subverted

22

so that the case was deliberately assigned to this Court.

23

documents further suggest that thereafter this Court had

24

conversations with Eric Holder and Lanny Breuer about this

25

case, and it also alleges that this Court issued an order to

tap the MCSO's phones after being assigned as the judge in this

case.

It also seems to allege that this Court had

conversations, as I've indicated, with the Department of

Justice, through one of its former law clerks as an

intermediary.

10:34:19

Now, I will tell you I've looked at these documents

closely and I think there are a great deal of problems with

them.

But I don't intend to put them on the screen and go over

10

those problems because I believe that Sheriff Arpaio and

11

Chief Sheridan have both acknowledged that the materials

12

received from Montgomery are not credible and/or are junk.

13

I'm not presuming at this point that the MCSO is alleging that

14

anything the documents contain in this respect are true.

10:34:35

So

15

If, Ms. Iafrate, you're going to assert that, I will

16

tell you that I'm going to require good faith assertions that

17

any of that information is true, and I have a number of

18

questions that you will have to respond to.

19

assuming, as I do, that the sheriff and Chief Sheridan both

20

will say that those documents are not credible, the very

21

existence of these documents in the MCSO's files causes this

22

Court some concerns.

23

10:34:53

Nevertheless,

10:35:16

In addition to their tendency to suggest that previous

24

testimony offered in this matter may have been untruthful, the

25

Court wonders why, when the MCSO should have been spending

CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 5/14/15 Status Hearing

47

their time, money, and resources in implementing its order,

they were funding a confidential informant as well as three

MCSO deputies or posse members to be in Seattle, Washington,

and other places, accruing overtime, travel, and salary

expenses, as well as significant technology costs, attempting

to construct some bogus conspiracy theory to discredit this

Court.

The Court notes that as of the monitor's last report,

the MCSO was only 29 percent in compliance with the injunctive

10

order entered a year and a half ago, approximately the same

11

time as this Seattle operation began.

12

explanation for all of this, I realize that these are only

13

documents in MCSO's file, but I'm going to require you to

14

address that in the hearing that's coming up in June.

10:36:06

There may be some

I also want to say that when upon the death -- I think

16

before I began questioning Sheriff Arpaio, I explained to him

17

why I was questioning about these things and how I viewed this

18

as being relevant to the contempt hearing, and I think it's

19

relevant for reasons I've already stated.

21

the members of the plaintiff class in this case may have been

22

commonly subjected to deprivations not previously disclosed at

23

or prior to trial, and that this information as well as a great

24

deal of additional information sought prior to trial had never

25

been provided, this Court suggested to the MCSO that it arrange

its own Professional Standards Bureau.

Rather than

This Court's orders were violated at the very start of

that investigation, and that is part of the notice contempt.

And even though many of the allegations of misconduct arose --

that were at issue in the Armendariz investigation arose from

the conduct of the HSU, the MCSO transferred in as the new

captain of the Professional Standards Bureau the previous

10

captain of the special investigation divisions -- Special

11

Investigations Division, which was over the HSU.

12

10:37:19

10:37:37

There is evidence that before his transfer to the PSB,

13

Captain Bailey was sent an inquiry memoranda regarding seized

14

identifications from within the HSU, which memorandum and

15

documents were subsequently sent for destruction.

16

Special Investigations Division had responsibilities for

17

operations like the Seattle operation and would likely have

18

played a role in the Grissom inquiries.

Further, the

Of course, Captain Bailey was supervised at both the

SID and the PSB by Chief Deputy Sheridan and by Sheriff Arpaio.

about the inadequate investigations conducted by the PSB of

There is further evidence that the MCSO

This evidence may thus tend to demonstrate that the


MCSO attempted to keep all matters pertaining to this case, its

10

speculative investigations into this Court, and to the

11

investigations triggered by the unfortunate death of Deputy

12

Armendariz, in the hands of a relative few people who may not

have been working to implement this Court's order in good

faith.

10:39:05

I remind the parties that because of the

Essentially, we would -- I believe there are two Banker Boxes

17

of documents, and a hard drive that contains something like

18

200-some megabytes.

19

11:50:24

We would take and copy them at the FBI office and then

20

here in Phoenix, with court-appointed security officers from

21

Washington, who would take custody of the documents, and then

22

we would examine those documents in Washington.

23

11:49:59

11:50:45

And at that point, I believe there was a motion --

24

there was notification to the parties, there was a motion for

25

recusal, and it was -- that was suspended and --

THE COURT:

If I authorize you to receive such

documents for your examination, I assume that you would have no

objection if I order you not to disclose any of those documents

to any third party without further order of this Court.

MR. GOMEZ:

That's correct, Your Honor.

We would be

central entities that would conduct the review at its -- at the

11

beginning.

12

entities as part of the United States, then I assume that that

13

prohibition wouldn't preclude that kind of review.

14

THE COURT:

It doesn't prohibit agents of the United

States reviewing the documents; it does prohibit any

16

dissemination to any third party.

If there was a need to contact other government

MR. GOMEZ:

11:52:05

The United States has no objection to

that, Your Honor.

All right.

Any party object?

MS. IAFRATE:

21

THE COURT:

You may.

22

MR. GOMEZ:

Oh, one point, Your Honor.

May I be heard, Your Honor?

11:52:19

If we are

23

authorized to conduct the review, I would request the Court's

24

permission to either meet with the Court-appointed monitor,

25

Mr. Warshaw, today, or its designee, to make the arrangements.

You had ordered me to write a

11:52:50

I inquired whether they had the

United States and they were entitled to them.

11:53:06

I did not feel comfortable giving documents -- I

12

objected, based on that rationale, that if these are indeed CIA

13

documents, then the CIA needs to be the one to say whether they

14

can be disclosed or not.

15

The other thing, Your Honor, that we discussed

11:53:22

16

previously, and it's your document 1086, was a procedure that

17

the monitor and I were going to perform in order to protect

18

some private information.

19

the Monitor Team and I never got around to performing that

20

procedure that would protect some of these people's bank

21

accounts, Social Security numbers, things of that nature.

22

in fact, plaintiffs have some of these documents which you

23

told, You may look at, but please don't do anything with them

24

until we go through that procedure.

Because the stay was implemented,

allowed to go through that procedure for the sake of these

individuals' privacy interests.

THE COURT:

Well, the United States would be subject

to the same protective order that plaintiffs are subject to;

they wouldn't be able to disclose any of that information

pending their review.

MS. IAFRATE:

THE COURT:

13

It is my understanding that despite

that, we would still perform that procedure that you requested

11:54:35

Have you taken any steps to do that in the

two months between the middle of May and now?


MS. IAFRATE:

Well, actually, Your Honor, the document

14

says that the monitor was to coordinate and contact me, so, no,

we have not done anything in order to perform that.

but I didn't get it till just now.

I have a couple of concerns.

I have the concern that

you have the same conflicts that Mr. Moseley was subject to as

it pertains to your client, Mr. Montgomery, and the testimony

that we've already received from your client, Sheriff Arpaio,

and Chief Deputy Sheridan that I had outlined in denying his

admission pro hac vice.

those same objections.

It seems to me like you're subject to

It also seems to me, and I don't want to be

10

precipitous on this, but some of the documents that have since

11

been disclosed raise at least the possibility that you yourself

12

might be a witness in this action, and so I'm a little

13

concerned to grant your admission pro hac vice without at least

14

allowing the other parties to be heard on it.

15

To the extent that you want to speak on behalf of

16

Mr. Montgomery, I will briefly allow you to do so as long as

17

you keep within the confines of ethics and propriety.

That's fine.

MR. KLAYMAN:

Mr. Montgomery obviously opposes that

We've appealed Your Honor not allowing us to intervene, and the

reason for that --

THE COURT:

11:57:43

Then what I'll do is I will

hear that next status conference.


MR. KLAYMAN:

That's fine, Your Honor, but we do

14

request that before that's heard, and if Your Honor should

15

grant it -- and I would like an opportunity to reply to that;

16

we just simply submitted the application pro hac vice -- that

17

you not release documents until such time as you make a ruling

18

on that, because Mr. Montgomery would like to renew his motion

19

to intervene to protect what he claims are his property

20

interests in those documents.

21

THE COURT:

11:57:53

11:58:10

Well, the only testimony that we have in

22

this action is that those are documents that he -- I don't know

23

how to -- I don't want to use words other than Chief Deputy

24

Sheridan used, but those are documents that he took from the

25

CIA that the CIA was harvesting from American citizens.

doesn't sound to me like he has any property interest in such

documents.

To the extent that he does have such property

interests, and to the extent that -- because there may be other

documents in there that are -- and, in fact, there may be no

documents taken from the CIA; that possibility has been raised

by the evidence.

have no property interest in those documents?

11:58:42

If that is so, how is he damaged by allowing

What property

10

interest does Mr. Montgomery have in such documents that would

11

in any way be infringed by allowing the United States to review

12

those documents under seal to make sure that they have no

13

security interest in them?

14

MR. KLAYMAN:

We did submit with the motion to

15

intervene, as part of the various pleadings, a court -- and

16

we've cited it -- a court ruling in Nevada where the Department

17

of Justice was ordered to give documents back to

18

Mr. Montgomery.

19

THE COURT:

20

MR. KLAYMAN:

21

THE COURT:

That's correct.

11:59:26

Well, this case supposedly reconstructed

material from a database that pertained to alleged telephone

23

calls and e-mails that occurred in 2009 and 2010.

25

11:59:13

And that was a 2006 ruling.

22

11:58:59

How does that Nevada 2006 ruling relate to any


database that alleges to have 2009-2010 documents in it?

CHIEF WARSHAW:

15:09:33

All right.
With the full belief that this matter

is at the heart of the issue before the Court and our

determination to at least see these documents, I instructed one

10

of our two deputy monitors, Commander Girvin, last night to

11

make an attempt to reach out to senior executives of the MCSO

for the simple purpose of making arrangements to see if we

13

could see these IDs.

Commander Girvin attempted to call both telephonically

and by text message Captain Steven Bailey, the commanding

officer of the Professional Standards Bureau, as well as Chief

Deputy Sheridan, but with no luck.

18

15:10:09

Further, at my instruction, and after a reasonable

19

passage of time, Commander Girvin reached out to Captain Russ

Skinner, who's the commander of the agency's court compliance

At that point, knowing full well that we very much

wanted to see these documents but were not getting cooperation

with the lack of response, I initiated an e-mail to every

attorney involved in this case advising that I might very well

ask for an emergency hearing for the purposes of getting relief

these particular documents were slated for destruction, and had

this matter not come to our attention and had we not made the

kind of inquiry that we made, these items in fact would have

When you talk about the 50 hard drives

related to the Montgomery investigation, where did you find out

about those?

CHIEF WARSHAW:

As a result of document requests that

were made of the MCSO, after the initial release of the single

10

hard drive we got on April 27th, it became apparent, in looking

11

at various e-mail streams, that there were references to

12

hard drives that were reposited in the Property Unit.

27

serious matter. Under statute, case law, and judicial canons, the perception of judicial bias

and the appearance of impropriety, punctuated by the material witness status of the

presiding judge's spouse, mandate the recusal and disqualification of the Honorable G.

Murray Snow. Accordingly, Defendant Arpaio and Chief Deputy Gerard Sheridan have

no other choice but to file this Motion.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 144 and 455, Defendant Arpaio and Chief Deputy

Gerard Sheridan respectfully move for recusal and/or disqualification of the Honorable G.

Murray Snow. (Affidavit of Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio, attached as Exhibit 1). Defendant

Arpaio Chief Deputy Gerard Sheridan present this Memorandum and file the attached

affidavit and corresponding Certificates of Filing in Good Faith by Counsel. Defendant

10

Arpaio and Chief Deputy Gerard Sheridan respectfully request the transfer of this case to

11

a different judge, immediately, as provided by 28 U.S. Code 144, and the

12

disqualification or recusal of Judge Snow in further related proceedings concerning

13

Defendant Arpaio and Chief Deputy Gerard Sheridan.1

14

By his own official inquiry, statements, and questions in open court on the

15

record, one of the investigations into which Judge Snow unexpectedly inquired during

16

recent contempt proceedings concerns his spouse, Sheri Snow. No reasonable person with

knowledge of the facts can deny that Judge Snow is now investigating and presiding over

issues involving his own family.

20

while dispositive, is not the only appearance of bias and impropriety requiring recusal.

This alone is sufficient to mandate recusal and

21

Defendant Arpaio and Chief Deputy Gerard Sheridan therefore move: (1)

22

for Judge Snow to recuse himself based upon the facts and law stated in the Motion for

23

Change of Judge for Cause; or (2) if Judge Snow declines to recuse himself, Defendant

Arpaio and Chief Deputy Gerard Sheridan move that this Motion for Change of Judge for

The legal opinion of Professor Ronald Rotunda, a renowned expert on


Professional Responsibility and Constitutional Law, is attached and incorporated in

declaration, Judge Snow now has- by his own admission- an incurable personal interest
in the case, at least in this new phase of this case as it has metastasized into something
entirely new. Id.

STATEMENT OF FACTS RELEVANT TO MOTION


A.

Melendres Preliminary and Permanent Injunction

In December 2007, Latino motorists brought a class action under 42 U.S.C.

1983 against the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office (MCSO) and Sheriff Joseph

Arpaio, in his official capacity only, alleging that Defendants engaged in a custom, policy,

and practice of racially profiling Latinos, and a policy of unconstitutionally stopping

persons without reasonable suspicion that criminal activity was afoot, in violation of

Plaintiffs Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.2 [Doc. 1, amended by Doc. 26.] The

10

Plaintiffs sought declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent Defendants from engaging in

11

racial profiling and exceeding the limits of their authority to enforce federal immigration

12

law. [Doc. 1 at 1920.]

13

After pre-trial discovery was closed, the parties filed competing motions for

14

summary judgment; Plaintiffs motion included a request for the entry of a preliminary

15

injunction. [Docs. 413, 421.] Judge Snow granted the Plaintiffs motion in part, and

16

entered a preliminary injunction on December 23, 2011. [Doc. 494.] The injunction

17

prohibited MCSO from detaining individuals in order to investigate civil violations of

18

federal immigration law, and from detaining any person based on actual knowledge,

19

without more, that the person is not a legal resident of the United States. [Id. at 39.] The

20

injunction further stated that, absent probable cause, officers may only detain individuals

21

based on reasonable suspicion that criminal activity may be afoot. [Id. at 5.]

22

Seventeen months later, approximately nine months following a bench trial,

23

and one week before the recall petition for Sheriff Arpaio was due, Judge Snow issued his

24

Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law in May 2013, in which he found MCSO liable

25

for a number of constitutional violations in its operations and procedures. [Doc. 579 at

26

11531.] The timing of the decision was curious and problematic, as it resulted in

27
28

MCSO, a non-jural entity, is no longer a named defendant in this action.


Maricopa County has recently become a defendant in this action.

After allowing the Parties, at their request, to attempt to negotiate the terms

enforcement mechanisms for such remedies. [Doc. 606.]

Judge Snows Determination that a Civil Contempt Hearing was


Necessary.
On May 14, 2014, Defendants, on their own initiative, informed Judge

Snow and Plaintiffs counsel that a former member of the Human Smuggling Unit,
Deputy Charley Armendariz, was found to be in possession of hundreds of personal items,
many of which appeared to have been appropriated from members of the Plaintiff class.
[See Doc. 700 at 1213.] Deputy Armendariz was a regular participant in the HSUs
saturation patrols, both large and small scale. He also testified at trial and was personally
implicated by the allegations of two representatives of the Plaintiff class regarding his
involvement in a 2008 immigration sweep in which two Hispanic American citizens were
allegedly profiled and illegally detained on the basis of their suspected undocumented
status. [Doc. 576.] After his apparent suicide, in addition to the numerous personal items
apparently seized from persons he had stopped, MCSO also discovered numerous video
recordings of traffic stops that Armendariz had conducted, apparently going back several
years. [Doc. 700 at 11.] Some of those videos revealed what MCSO characterized as
problematic activity on the part of Deputy Armendariz during the stops. [Id. at 35, 57.]
Other officers, and at least one supervisor of Armendariz who also testified at the trial in
this action, were depicted on these recordings during one or more problematic stops. [Id.
at 35.]
In light of the inappropriate activity observable on Deputy Armendarizs
videotapes and the questions surrounding other officers use of video and audio recording
devices during the time period in which pre-trial discovery in this case was occurring,

Judge Snow ordered Defendants to immediately formulate and obtain the Monitors

approval of a plan designed to retrieve all recordings made by officers that might still be

in existence. [Id. at 2527.] The ensuing investigations unearthed documents apparently

requiring officers to make such recordings during the period of time relevant to Plaintiffs

claims, and that those here-to-fore unknown documents and recordings were never

disclosed.

Moreover, the Armendariz videotapes resulted in administrative interviews

with MCSO personnel.

seventeen months after Judge Snow issued his preliminary injunction, Defendants, as a

10

matter of regular practice and operation, continued to enforce federal immigration law by

11

conducting immigration interdiction operations, and detaining persons after officers

12

concluded that there was no criminal law basis for such detention,.

Those interviews have apparently revealed that, for at least

13

Accordingly, Judge Snow determined that civil contempt proceedings were

14

necessary to determine if MCSO, Sheriff Joseph Arpaio, Chief Deputy Gerald Sheridan

15

and other MCSO leadership acted in contempt of this Courts lawful writs, processes,

16

orders, rules, decrees, or commands by (1) failing to implement and comply with the

17

preliminary injunction; (2) violating their discovery obligations; and (3) acting in

18

derogation of this Courts May 14, 2014 Orders. [Doc. 880 at 26.] Moreover, Judge

19

Snow noted that the development of the evidentiary record in the contempt proceedings

20

would permit him to evaluate whether civil remedies can vindicate the rights of the

21

Plaintiff class, or if criminal remedies are necessary.

22

C.

Pre-Civil Contempt Hearing Events

23

On March 17, 2015, Defendants Sheriff Arpaio and the MCSO filed an

24

Expedited Motion to Vacate Hearing and Request for Entry of Judgment. [Doc. 948.]

25

The purpose of that Motion was to convey to the Court and to Plaintiffs that Defendants

26

Joseph M. Arpaio and Maricopa County Sheriffs Office, and identified nonparty Chief

27

Deputy Gerard Sheridan (collectively, Defendants) consent[ed] to a finding of civil

28

contempt against them and the imposition of remedies designed to address their conduct.

[Id. at 1.] Defendants expressed their most sincere remorse to the Court and to Plaintiffs

and explicitly acknowledged that they had violated the Courts Preliminary Injunction.

[Id. at 2.] Accordingly, Defendants adopted and stipulated to the facts as stated in the

Courts Order to Show Cause, [Doc. 880] as well as to the entry of an order finding them

in civil contempt of court. [Doc. 948 at 3.]

Judge Snow demanded, before accepting the proposal, that Arpaio have

skin in the game, specifically that Defendant Arpaio pay a sanction from his personal

funds and not from any defense funds supporting Defendant Arpaio. It is noteworthy that

Defendant Arpaio is only named as a defendant in his official capacity in this lawsuit. To

10

this end, Defendants attached a proposed list of stipulated remedial measures that

11

Defendants had agreed to implement, including the payment of $100,000 from Defendant

12

Arpaios personal funds to a civil rights organization and that a fund would be created to

13

compensate victims of the Defendants violation of the Courts December 2011

14

injunction.3 In light of these remedial measures, Defendants requested that Judge Snow

15

vacate the evidentiary hearing to determine the existence of the admitted contempt. [Doc.

16

948 at 4.]

17

Despite the admitted violation of this Courts preliminary injunction and the

18

remedial measures Defendants sought to implement, including Defendants agreeing to

19

Plaintiffs settlement terms that also would have mooted the need for contempt

20

proceedings, Judge Snow refused to vacate the contempt proceedings. [Doc. 1007.] In

21

fact, he requested that the United States Attorney for the District of Arizona attend the

22

proceedings to determine whether sufficient evidence would be presented to justify

23
24
25
26
27
28

The remedies proposed by Arpaio included: (1) acknowledging in a public forum


the violations of this Courts orders; (2) Sheriff Arpaio and MCSO will seek from
Maricopa County the creation and initial funding of a reserve to compensate victims of
MCSOs violation of the Courts December 2011 injunction; (3) develop and implement a
plan to identify victims of the Courts December 2011 order; (4) permit the Monitor to
investigate any matter that relates to Defendants violation of the Courts preliminary
injunction; (5) move to dismiss the then pending appeal in the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals; and (6) pay for Plaintiffs reasonable attorneys fees that were necessary to
ensure compliance with this Courts Orders. [Doc. 748, Ex. B].

Judge Snows Surprise Examination of Unexpected, Irrelevant Subjects


During Contempt Proceedings.
On April 23, 2015, Judge Snow embarked on his own inquiries during the

testimony of Sheriff Arpaio. Those inquiries were entirely unrelated to the three grounds
that were the defined and noticed subjects of the contempt proceeding.4 Judge Snow
continued these inquiries when he examined Chief Deputy Sheridan following Sheriff
Arpaios testimony. These lines of questioning were based on Judge Snows reading of,
reference to, and reliance on hearsay statements contained in a Phoenix New Times blog
post by Stephen Lemons. [Phoenix New Times Blog Post, attached as Exhibit 2; see also
4/23/15 Transcript at 648-649, attached as Exhibit 3]. Importantly, this article had never

Specifically, Judge Snow questioned Sheriff Arpaio regarding a blog

(Grissom Investigation). [4/23/15 Transcript at 643-644].

During this line of

Judge Snow or any of his family members had ever been investigated by anyone. [Id. at

In addition, Judge Snow questioned Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy

Sheridan regarding a second investigation, also unrelated to the three clearly defined

subjects of the contempt proceedings. Judge Snow inquired regarding athe unrelated

investigation and MCSOs use of a confidential informant, Dennis Montgomery,

Post Contempt Proceeding Expansion of Monitors Duties by Judge


Snow
As the sole arbiter of the matters relevant to the contempt proceedings,

Judge Snow has also utilized the Melendres Monitor to expand his investigation into these
unrelated issues. In an attempt to justify this expansion of power, Judge Snow is trying to
create a connection between the Grissom and Montgomery investigations and a
speculative pattern of knowing defiance rather than inadvertence of Judge Snows
Orders and necessary remedies for members of the Plaintiff class. [5/14/15 Transcript at
49:15-21, attached as Ex. 9]. In doing so, he has granted the Monitor broad leeway in
determining what matters are pertinent to the current contempt proceedings. [Id. at 51].

The Montgomery Investigation

When Defendant Arpaios counsel requested clarification regarding the


Monitors investigatory powers, Judge Snow refused. Instead, Judge Snow stated that he
is not going to limit the Monitors authority and [hes] not going to require [the Monitor]
to provide [Defendant Arpaios counsel] with advance notice of what [the Monitor] wants
to inquire into. [Id. at 53:15-21]. Defendant Arpaios counsel objected to the Courts
morphing of the OSC hearing into something quite different than the three subjects that
were a part of the original OSC Order and the expansion of the Monitors powers as a

violation of her clients Due Process rights. Judge Snow overruled her objection and

refused to unduly shackle [the Monitor]. [Id. at 56:20]. Thus, the Monitor now has

court ordered unlimited investigatory power.

Accordingly, despite the Ninth Circuits recent Order, Judge Snow has

improperly expanded the authority and investigatory powers of the Monitor into matters

completely immaterial and irrelevant to the contempt proceedings and issues, as framed

JUDGE SNOW MUST RECUSE HIMSELF FROM THIS ACTION.

11

The right to a neutral and detached judge in any proceeding is protected by

12

the Constitution and is an integral part of maintaining the publics confidence in the

13

judicial system. Ward v. City of Monroeville, 409 U.S. 57, 61-62 (1972). Accordingly, in

14

order to preserve the integrity of the judiciary, and to ensure that justice is carried out in

15

each individual case, judges must adhere to high standards of conduct. York v. United

16

States, 785 A.2d 651, 655 (D.C. 2001).

17

Cannon 2 of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges provides that

18

[a] judge should avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities.

19

Avoidance of the appearance of impropriety in all judicial activities is important because:

20

Public confidence in the judiciary is eroded by irresponsible or


improper conduct by judges. A judge must avoid all
impropriety and appearance of impropriety. This prohibition
applies to both professional and personal conduct. A judge
must expect to be the subject of constant public scrutiny and
accept freely and willingly restrictions that might be viewed as
burdensome by the ordinary citizen.

The Ninth Circuit has advised Judge Snow against extending the Monitors

this case. Id. (holding that the injunction improperly requires the Monitor to consider the
disciplinary outcomes for any violations of departmental policy and to assess whether
Deputies are subject to civil suits or criminal charges ... for off-duty conduct.). Judge
Snow now seeks to expand the authority of the Monitor without regard to the Ninth
Circuits Order.

Comment 2A to Cannon 2.

Cannon 3 requires that [a] judge shall disqualify himself or herself in a

proceeding in which the judges impartiality might reasonable be questioned, including

but not limited to instances in which:

5
6

(a) the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a


party, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts
concerning the proceeding;

...

(c) the judge knows that the judge [has an] interest that
could be affected substantially by the outcome of the
proceeding;6

9

11

(d) the judge or the judges spouse, or a person related to


either within the third degree of relationship, or the spouse of
such a person is:

13

(iii) known by the judge to have an interest that could

(iv) to the judges knowledge likely to be a material

22

Cannon 3 is, in essence, codified by 28 U.S.C. 455. Section 455(a)


covers circumstances that appear to create a conflict of interest, whether or not there is
actual bias. Preston v. United States, 923 F.2d 731, 734 (9th Cir.1991) (citation omitted)
(emphasis in original). In contrast, [s]ection 455(b) covers situations in which an actual
conflict of interest exits, even if there is no appearance of one. Id. (citation omitted).
Given the developments in this case, both provisions require recusal.

A.

28 U.S.C. 455(b) Requires Mandatory Disqualification of Judge Snow.7

Section (b) of 28 U.S.C. 455 provides for mandatory recusal without

investigation into the appearance of partiality by a judge. Preston, 923 F.2d at 734 (9th

Cir. 1991) (We need not explore whether an appearance of partiality existed in this case.

The drafters of section 455 have accomplished this task for us.).

Section 455(b) requires disqualification under Section 455(a), even absent

any evidence of actual bias. Mangini v. United States, 314 F.3d 1158, 1161 (9th Cir.)

opinion amended on denial of reh'g, 319 F.3d 1079 (9th Cir. 2003); see also Preston, 923

F.2d at 734 (addressing Section 455(b)(2), which requires disqualification when the judge

10

either served as a lawyer or a lawyer with whom he previously practiced law served as a

11

lawyer during such association in the matter in controversy). [I]t is sufficient to state that

12

section 455(b) provides us with a concrete example where the appearance of partiality

13

suffices to establish a ground for recusal under section 455(a) even absent actual bias.

28 U.S.C. 455(b)(5) Requires Disqualification of Judge Snow

following circumstances:

(5) He or his spouse, or a person within the third degree of


relationship to either of them, or the spouse of such a person:

As a matter of style, most courts look first to Section 455(b), which provides that

relationships, and then to the more general terms of 455(a).

witness in the proceeding.


(Emphasis added).

This requirement is strictly imposed. Preston, 923 F.2d at 734 (9th Cir.

1991). For example, a judge was required to recuse himself when it was learned that his

daughter had participated in certain early depositions in a case, even though the daughter's

role in the depositions was minimal and the firm she was working for was no longer

involved in the case. See In re Aetna Cas. & Sur. Co., 919 F.2d 1136 (6th Cir. 1990).

Here, Judge Snows recusal is required for three reasons:


First, a person within the third degree of relationship to Judge Snow is

9
10

affiliated with Plaintiffs Counsel.

Judge Snows brother-in-law is an attorney with

11

Covington Burling. Early in this action, Defendant Arpaios former counsel waived this

12

conflict. However, in light of recent events, reconsideration of this previously waived

13

conflict is necessary.

14

Second, the interests of Judge Snow and his spouse are substantially

15

affected by the outcome of this proceeding. Judge Snow himself has recognized that the

16

documents involved in the Montgomery investigation appear to allege or suggest that this

17

Court had contact with the Department of Justice about this case before the Court was

18

ever assigned to it. [5/14/15 Transcript at 45:17-19]. Moreover, Judge Snow stated on

19

the record that the Montgomery Investigation appears to allege that the random selection

20

process of this Court was subverted so that the case was deliberately assigned to him and

21

that he had conversations with Eric Holder and Lanny Breuer about this case. [Id. at

22

45:19-25]. Judge Snow, therefore, has an interest that could be substantially affected by

23

the outcome of the proceeding because his reputation is squarely at stake. [Id. at 46:23-

24

47:7 (recognizing the potential of a bogus conspiracy theory to discredit the court)]; see

25

also 28 U.S.C. 455(b)(4) (requiring disqualification when a Judge knows that he

26

[has] any other interest that could be substantially affected by the outcome of the

the context in how it was made). Moreover, regardless of the irrelevance of the Grissom

and Montgomery investigations to the issue of whether the admitted contempt of the

Preliminary Injunction occurred, Judge Snow infused himself and the materiality of his

wife as a witness and her uncontradicted statement into the contempt proceeding.

Whether a sitting judge is admittedly biased toward a defendant in his Court and will do

10

anything to ensure he is not re-elected is without question a conflict that creates

11

grounds for recusal.8 Accordingly, even if at some point there is a denial that Mrs. Snow

12

made the statements at issue, the conflict that is created is unwaivable under 455(b). See

13

28 U.S.C. 455(e) (No justice, judge, or magistrate judge shall accept from the parties to

outside investigations with regard to matters that he thought to be relevant and that he

infused into the proceeding. [Rotunda Declaration 20, attached as Ex. 10]. Whats

more, he apparently took evidence outside of court. [Id.]. Although Judge Snow did not

disclose the identity of the individual with whom he spoke regarding this matter, he

clearly stated that he engaged in an investigation outside the courtroom during a lunch

break. [Id.]. In addition, Judge Snow also asked leading questions on irrelevant matters

during the contempt proceeding.

[Id. at 19, 21].

In addition, he gave his own

Furthermore, Judge Snow was

He

interrupted Chief Deputy Sheridan and challenged his decision to make an informant,

Dennis Montgomery, a confidential informant in an investigation unrelated to the

documents that may be protected by the work product doctrine or attorney client privilege.

14

Those documents pertain to an attorney, Larry Klayman, and his client, Dennis

at trial and prior identification of areas of examination. See generally, Stuart v. United

Aviation v. Smiths Indus. Aerospace & Def. Sys. Ltd., 268 F.3d 829, 846-47 (9th Cir.

26

defense. See United States v. Powers, 629 F.2d 619, 625 (9th Cir. 1980). Further, the law

Intl Union, United Mine Workers of America v. Bagwell, 512 U.S. 821 at 833-34. Here,

although Defendant Arpaio testified that he previously read the Phoenix New Times blog

Judge Snow utilized to justify his unauthorized line of questioning (Transcript, 643:23-

24), neither the Court nor any other party previously provided it to Defendants nor gave

notice that Defendant Arpaio or Chief Deputy Sheridan would be questioned about it. It

was not identified as an exhibit. Neither was Defendant Arpaio nor Chief Deputy Sheridan

provided notice that this subject area would be addressed. In contempt proceedings,

procedural protections such as prior notice are crucial in view of the heightened potential

for abuse posed by the contempt power. Taylor v. Hayes, 418 U.S. 488, 498 (1974).

10

Judge Snows failure to abide by these fundamental and basic constitutional requirements,

11

demonstrates further evidence of the perception of an unwaivable bias towards Sheriff

12

Arpaio.

13

Finally, Judge Snow has improperly expanded the authority and

14

investigatory powers of the Monitor into matters completely immaterial and irrelevant to

15

the contempt proceedings and issues, as framed by his own Order to Show Cause (e.g., the

18

willingness to ignore Defendant Arpaios and Chief Deputy Sheridans constitutional

Additionally, the procedure outlined by the Court in its Order (Doc. 1032) places
Defendants in an untenable position in which they must immediately provide documents
pursuant to the Courts Order in such a way that sacrifices the attorney-client and work
product privileges. The two Deputy County Attorneys who quickly reviewed documents
on April 23, 2015 made random selections throughout the documents to discern what the
documents were and made a cursory check for any privileged documents. They did not
view any privileged documents; however, time did not allow for a careful or thorough
review. It is probable that privileged documents were given to the monitors.

proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. A violation of

section 455(a) occurs even if the judge is unaware of the circumstances that created the

appearance of impropriety. Lifjeberg v. Health Services Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 8847

(1988). In determining whether disqualification is proper, courts apply an objective test:

whether a reasonable person with knowledge of all the facts would conclude that the

judge's impartiality might reasonably be questioned. Clemens v. U.S. Dist. Ct. for

Central Dist. of California, 428 F.3d 1175, 1178 (9th Cir. 2005) (citations omitted). The

reasonably be questioned. For instance, a Judge shall disqualify himself if his spouse or a

16

person within the third degree of relationship to either of them is a person who has more

17

than a de minimis interest that could be substantially affected by the proceeding or is

18

likely to be a material witness in the proceeding. See Rule 2.11(A)(2)(c)(d). In addition,

19

the comments under Rule 2.11 provide guidance. For instance, comment 2 specifically

20

states that: A Judges obligation not to hear or decide matters in which disqualification is

21

required, applies regardless of whether a Motion to Disqualify is filed. Additionally,

22

Comment 5 to Rule 2.11 requires the Judge to disclose on the record information that he

23

believes the parties or their lawyers might reasonably consider relevant to a possible

24

Motion for Disqualification, even if the Judge believes there is no basis for

25

disqualification.

26

Finally, even in cases of a close question of judicial impartiality, this Court

27

should decide in favor of recusal. The U.S. Courts of Appeals for the First, Fifth, Tenth,

decided in favor of recusal. See Republic of Pan v. American Tobacco Co., 217 F.3d 343,

347 (5th Cir. 2000) (citing In re Chevron, 121 F.3d 163, 165 5th Cir. 1997)); In re United

States, 158 F.3d 26, 30 (1st Cir. 1998); Nichols v. Alley, 71 F.3d 347, 352 (10th Cir.

1995); United States v. Dandy, 998 F.2d 1344, 1349 (6th Cir. 1993); United States v.

Kelly, 888 F.2d 732, 744 (11th Cir. 1989).

For all of the reasons stated above, Judge Snows recusal is required

because his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. Even presuming this Court does

not find that the aforementioned actions by Judge Snow demonstrate evidence of actual

bias, see supra III(B), a reasonable person with knowledge of all the facts would

10

certainly question Judge Snows impartiality. Recusal is therefore required because of the

11

bedrock notion and importance of public confidence in the judiciary and that confidence

12

in the judiciary is severely eroded by even the appearance of irresponsible, improper or

13

biased conduct by judges.

IV.

CONCLUSION

15

For the aforementioned reasons Defendant Arpaio and Chief Deputy Gerard

16

Sheridan respectfully request that (1) Judge Snow recuse himself from these proceedings

17

and (2) if Judge Snow declines to recuse himself, Defendant Arpaio and Chief Deputy

18

Gerard Sheridan move that this Motion for Change of Judge for Cause be assigned to a

The most revealing part of Phoenix filmmaker Randy Murray's recent documentary The
Joe Show ws a strategy meeting during Sheriff Joe Arpaio's 2Ol2 re-election campaign
that included Arpaio, his top flack, Lisa Allen, Chief Deputy Jerry Sheridan, and campaign
manager Chad Willems.
The group huddled in the back of a Fountain Hills restaurant to discuss how to spin Joe's
negatives -- the misspending of more than $100 million, the deaths in the jails, the scores
of millions in lawsuit payouts -- fbr the public.

At some point, Arpaio's "birther" investigation came up. You know, the one in which
President Barack Obama's birth certificate gets investigated by both the Maricopa County
Sheriff s Office's Cold Case Posse, a nonpr:ofit organization, and MCSO Deputy Brian
Mackiewicz, whom Arpaio flew to Hawaii as part of this snipe hunt, at a cost of nearly
$10,000 to txpayers.
Arpaio's March 2012 press conference -- in which the sheriff and the Cold Case Posse's
"lead investigator," ex-usecl-car salesman Mike Zullo, cleclared Obama's birth certificate to
be a forgery -- was in the planning stage when the scene was filmed.
At the mere mention of the birther investigation ancl the future press event, Allen and
Willems practically rolled their eyes.
Willems called the birther probe "nuts."
Allen said the sheriff rnight as well go the press conferettce "in big ol' clown shoes." Arpaio
shrugged, literally.
"There ain't gonna be no damage control," Arpaio promised Willems. "You'll get more
money [in campaign contributions] than you'll know what to do with."

Wilier than the cartoon coyote, Arpaio had tappecl into a nationwide right-wing antigovernment, anti-Obama feeding frenzy with his birther probe and with his tirades
against the U.S. Department of Jr.rstice, which was investigating him for abuse of power
and other issues and is now suing him in f'ederal court.
"The DOJ is a hot item evetywhere," Joe told his flunkies.

whenever Arpaio's never-ending political campaign sends out an e-mail blast begging
for loot from Obama-haters, it reels in contributions from retired, far-right ofays all over
the country.
See,

Willems essentially admitted as much in another scene from the film'


"Now, with Arpaio going to battle with Barack Obama," Willems said, "it's meant literally
millions of dollars for his campaign."
As everybody knows, Arpaio was re-elected in 201.2,but the investigation into Obama's
birth certificate continues apace, according to both Arpaio and Cold Case Posse
"commander" Zullo.

At the beginning of May, Arpaio mentioned the birther probe during a speech before
group of Silicon Valley conservatives.

Around the same tirne, he appeared on The RghtSde, a conservative cable-access show
in Mountain View, California. He told host Chris Pareja that the inquiry into Obama's birth
certificate was going strong.
"l'rn not done with that yet," Arpaio insisted. "People thir,k I surrendered. No . . . I'm trying
to find out who's behind it now. That's the key. You can always have a crime to investigate,
but I think you would like to know who did it."
The sheriff said he was after whoever created this "forged, frauclulent document," meaning
a computer scan of the president's long-fbrm birth certificate, released by the White
House in April2011.

Arpaio's statements have paralleled assurances from Zullo during periodic interviews
wiih Ftorida pastor/raclio host Carl Gallups that new revelations concerning the Obama
birth certificate are on the waY.
Critics of birthers regularly mock Zullo's vague pronouncements on Gallups' show
never resulting in any "ne\r" finds.

Why, even the information disclosed during Arpaio's two birther-themed press
conferences in 2012 were a rehash of debunked conspiracy theories.
But cluring a February interview with Gallups, Zullo caused an Internet kerfuffle when he
told Gallus'audience that there were now two investigations: the original birther one and
an offshoot of the birther probe, this one a criminal investigation.
Moreover, the second investigation was using two MCSO detectives and, presumably,
county money.

"l don't know how this is all going to play out," Zullo said. "l know that linl the criminal
investigation that we're working on now, Sheriff Arpaio has dedicated resources and two
full-time Maricopa County Sheriffs Office detectives."
He aclclecl, "These are seasoned pros lwhol are working this. These are the guys that go
hunt down the really bad guys."
Zullo prorised to release "universe-shattering" results of these investigations in March, a
deadline Zullo since has extended indefinitely.
Blogger Mitch Martinson of arizonaspolitics.colrl was the first to query the MCSO on
Zull,o s claim, and the first to report that Sheriffs Otfice spokesman Brandon Jones kindasorta had confirmed it.
"We have two sheriffs cletectives assigned to look into other issues surrounding the birth
certificate," Jones told Martinson, in a blog item posted February 10. "However, they are
not investigating the birth certificate issue itself."

Later, Joes walked back his comments to Martinson, sending the blogger an e-mail,
which Martinson used in a screen shot to a follow-ttp post.

"Mitch, I was misinformed," Jones statecl. "The detectives are not working on anything
regarding the birth certificate. Not even surrounding. Mr. Zullo was incorrect: They are
working on other serious cases not even t'elated'"

Who were these two detectives, what were they up to, and why is Zullo, a mere posse
member, privy to it?
Based on information given to me by longtime sources, the two detectives mentioned are
Brian Mackiewicz,the same deputy who made a taxpayer-fundecl run to Hawaii in May
z}l2,and Sergeant Travis Anglin, once a lieutenant with the notorious Maricopa AntiCorruption Effort who was demoted after an MCSO investigation into his private security
company ancl its use of MCSO detectives.

Riverside Count,v Sherif s Department

My sources -- one of whom is a former detective with the MCSO's Special Investigations
Divisio and is well-acquainted with SID and those in it -- say Anglin and Mackiewicz
were involved in an odd investigation dating back to October 2013.
Moreover, they say, the deputies have usecl as a confidential informant
scammer in the Seattle area.

notorious

What have they been investigating? According to my sources, Mackiewicz, Anglin, and the
informant are focused on U.S. District Court Judge G. Murray Snow, the Justice
Department, and abizarre conspiracy theory that the DOJ and Snow have conspired to
somehow "get" Joe Arpaio.

The person who purportedly convinced Arapio of this paranoid fantasy, the sources say, is
comuter fraudsier Dennis L. Montgomery, the subject of a 2010 Playboy expos titled
"The Man Who Conned the Pentagon."

In that article, investigative reporter Aram Roston detailed how, in the wake of the 9/11
attacks, Montgomery snookered the CIA, the White House, the Department of Homeland
Security, and the Air Force into believing he hacl software that could decode secret
messages to terrorists, supposedly embedded in broadcasts of the Al Jazeera Media
Network.
As crazy as this now sounds, Roston, using unsealed courl documents, reported that
etreppid Technologies, the Nevada software company Montgornery co-owned, scored
multimillion-dollar contracts for computer software touted by Montgomery.
In fact, Roston wrote, the United States went to Code Orange, the DHS' second-highest
terror alert, in 2003 basecl on data supplied to the CIA by Montgomety'

Iternational flights were delayed, sometimes canceled, because of Montgomery's work.


Based on Montg-omery's "intelligence gathering," Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge
told reporters at the time about the threat of "ner-term attacks" [hat could "rival or
exceed" those of 9/Il.
"Montgomery calls the work he was doing noise filtering," Roston wrote. "He was
churng out reams of data he called output. It consisted of latitucles and longitudes and
flight numbers."
This data was given to then-CIA Director George Tenet, according to Roston, and
"eventually encled up in the White House."
There was one big problem, Roston reported: "The communications Montgomery said he
was decrypting apparently didn't exist."
Roston wrote that Montgomery's eTreppid colleagues questioned his computer skills.
Company employees also claimed that Montgomery had faked demonstrations of
weapons-recognition software for representatives of the U.S. military.

With the help of a "branch of the French intelligence services," the CIA finally got wise to
Montgomery, realizing that there were no secret messages to bad guys in the Al Jazeera
broadcasts.

Montgomery leff eTreppid, wrote Roston, and went on to work for software companies
backed by a wealthy hiress; to accuse Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons of taking a bribe
(GibbonJlater was cleared of wrongdoing);to lose big at a Rancho Mirage, California
casino (422,000 in one day); and to declare bankruptcy.
Now, Montgomery lives in Yarrow Point, Washington, a short drive from downtown
Seattle. Vyiour:ces report that MCSO cletectives Anglin and Mackiewicz have spent a lot
of time this year in Setle with Montgomery, who, the sources say, has convinced the
sheriff that he has information suggesting an anti-Arpaio conspiracy between Judge Snow
and the DOJ.

These sources say there is no report number assignecl to the case, that fu'paio himself is
running it, and that the investigation has been financed with funds for confidential
informants, RICO funds.

Montgorrrery has been assigned a "confidential infornlant nunlber" or "control number,"


the idntity of which is known only to Arpaio, a few MCSO brass, and those in Special
Investigations, accorcting to my sources, who claim Montgomery has been paid about
$100,000 to date by the MCSO.
The situation gives Arpaio ancl the MCSO a degree of deniability becar,rse the department
is allowed to keep the identities of confidential informants secret in most instances.
Though there should be MCSO paperwork associated with such payments, it would show
a paymetlt to a control number, not a name.
The MCSO's official policy on "inf'ormant management" states that control numbers must
be maintained in a confidential-informant log "monitored by the [Special Investigations
Divisionl commander or his designee."

It further states that all informant files be kept in a "secured area within the SID." The
policy notes that the MCSO "will protect [hese sources through al available and
reasonable legal means."
Such "informant files" are retained as "pertnanent records" of SID, "unless the division
commauder determines that the records may be purged."

My sources say Mackiewicz has received, to date, $50,000 in overtime pay and Zullo has
gotten about $5,000 in PaYments.
Zullo's role is unclear, though he currently is involved in the investigation, according to
these sources, as well as the perpetual birther probe.
Additionally, they say the MCSO made about a $50,000 purchase of computer equipment
for Montgomery sometime [his year from a store in Washington state.
Accorcling to the MCSO's policy regarding "Undercover and Investigative Funds
AccountaLility," an expenditure of up to $6,000 for uudercover and investigative work
can be approved by a division cofflmander'

Anything over $6,000 must be approved by a bureau commander.


As

for funds specifically paid to confidential informants, the reins are even tighter.

Payments to a CI of nrore than $300 must be approved by a division commander "prior to


th expediture of te funds," according to the MCSO's informant-management policy.
The amount of money involved in detectives Anglin and Mackeiwicz's Seattle quest has
raised red flags with MCSO accountants, I've been told.
These sare MCSO accountants reportedly have expressed concern internally about the
procurement of the computer equipment, excessive CI payments, the amount of overtime
involved, and the money spent on airfare and stays in Seattle.

In several broadly worded public-records requests sent to the MCSO in February, I asked
for any and all e-mails traded among the players involved, as well as any anc all records
regarcling MCSO employees' trips to Seattle, payments of informant t'unds to Dennis
Montgomery, and Mackiewicz's overtime requests.
In each case, I was advised by MCSO spokesman Jones that "this is an ongoing
investigation. . . uo records can be released at this time."
In March, I called Zullo at his home phone number. I asked him about the work he was
said to be doiug with Montgomery.
He claimed not to know what I was talking about. Whetr I pressed him, he said all such
inquiries should go through the MCSO.

"l have no comment to make, especially to the New Tintes," he told me before hanging up'
The opportunity to question Ar:paio about the Montgomery caper caffIe as he munched on
cheese at a recent fundraiser for embattled Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne at the
University Club in Phoenix.

I aslced the sheriff about Montgomery ancl the work that my sources tell me he has done
for rhe MCSO.
At first, he played dumb, asking if I rneant County Attorney Bill Montgomery'
"No, Dennls MorTtgolTtety," I reptied. "The computer guy in Seattle who is helping you
investigate Judge Snow and the DOJ. You are investigating Snow and the DOJ, aren't
you?"
As he hit the cheese platter again, Arpaio looked over his shoulder at me with a grin. But
he said nothing.

I kept after him, asking why deputies Mackiewicz and Anglin had spent so much time in
Seattle.

"l clunno, maybe they like the weather up there," he said over his shoulcler, "or the snow
crb."

True to form, the sheriff was cagey, but there was no denial.
The ex-special Investigations source I know tells me that the joke around Arpaio's office
is that Montgomery's referred to as "Snowden," after Edward Snowden, the American
computer geek responsible for a massive 2013 leak of classified documents from the
Natinal Scurity Agency that exposed Orwellian surveillance programs run by the U.S.
government.

"[Montgomery] says he worked for the CIA on a pr:oject called Hammer [and] collected
data similar to Snowclen's," the source says. "[Montgomery] claims he can prove there was
a conspiracy between [U.S. Attorney General] Eric Holder and Judge Snow . . . a
conspiracy against ArPaio."
Montgomery, who is mictclte-agecl and stocky with a shock of white hair, is no Snowden'
Whatver you think of Snowden, at least the information he released generally has been
confirmed as legitimate.

As with the gibberish Montgomery reportedly gave the CIA in the early 2000s, he has,
according to rny sources, produced many printouts for the MCSO that seem off point, with
dates going back [o 1999 and earlier.

Obviously, that's long before Arpaio took up the cause of illegal immigration, long before
he was investigated or sued by the DOJ, and long before he became the subject of the
ACLU's big racial profiling lawsuit Melendres v. Aryao.
One source informs me that at least one unclerling told Arpaio recently that what
Montgomery provicled the MCSO is worthless, that Joe is getting played -- which caused
the sheriff to erupt into a fit of anger.

Wlren Montgomery was approached by a freelauce reporter on behalf of New Tmes in


April, he was nonplussed.

Montgomery came to the door of his Yarrow Point home,


someone about computer equipment.

a cell phone at his ear,

talking to

The reporter identified himself, and Montgomery asked for a carcl, which the reporter
presented.

"l really don't wanna talk to YoU," Montgomety said, ending his call.
"Okay, about Phoenix

. . .,"

the reporter began.

"No comment," Montgolnery shot back.

"Arizona...," the reporter started again.


"No comment," Montgomery repeated. "Who sent yott up here?"
"

Phoenix New Tintes," the reporter explained.

"Yeah, "

growled Montgomety.

"l-lave you done any work for Joe Arpaio?" the reporter asked.

"I, I, I have no comment," Montgomery said, moving away. "l'll call you later. I'll think
about it."

Montgomery went back into his house and shut the door, ending the conversation on a
rnysterious note. As with Arpaio, there was no denial.
Is Dennis Montgomery Joe Arpaio's Snowden? I cannot say absolutely.

But i['s not f'ar-fetched to think that Arpaio would investigate any powerful public official.
He continues to ilvestigate the president. He and now-disbarred former County Attorney
Anclrew l'homas investigated Superior Court judges perceived to be thwarting their antiun documentecl-immigrant p olicies'
'llhat is, it fits a pattern cultivatecl over his reign of more than 20 years.

Among Arpaio's bogus investigations have been:

. One targeting former \.rizona Attorney General Terry Goddard for alleged bribery. The
probe began in2007 ancl didn't seem to end until Goddard left office.

. One that brought the 2008 indictrnent of then-county Supervisor Don Stapley on 118
criminal coun[s related to his allegedly not properly disclosing sources of income. All
counts were dismissed ultimately.
. An infamous December 2009 RICO suit brought by Arpaio and'l'homas against the
entire Board of Supervisors, various county employees and certain Superior Court judges.
Supposedly, they all were part of a conspiracy involving the county's new court tower. The
suit was a disaster that finally got dismissed by Thomas himself.
. A probe resulting in the fiting of false bribery charges in 2009 against former Superior
Court Judge Gary Donahoe. Arpaio ancl Thomas ginned up these charges as retaliation
against Donahoe for aclverse rulings and to make Donahoe vacate a hearing that Arpaio
ancl Thornas didn't want to take place.

And now Juclge Snow, who in 2013 found the MCSO guitty of racial profiling and assigned
a monitor to make certain that Arpaio was obeying court orders on reforming and reeduca[ing deputies so that the agency does not profile Latinos or any other rninority
again?
As for l-lolder, the DOJ remains engaged in a lawsuit accusing Alpaio of abuse of power
and prejudiced policing.

the sheriff faces the ignominy of ending his law enforcement careel' as a
disgraced political colossus.

At age

82,

All -- in his mind -- because of Snow and the DOJ.


Why not attempt an investigation aimed at discrediting his perceived nemeses?
Though there never will be any pink handcuffs in Snow's or Holder's future, Arpaio's
racist, wing-nut supporters would consider it an act of bravery that their hero is
ivestigatig fecleral officials getting in the way of keeping despised Latinos in their place.
Meaning fftore money in the sheriffs perpetual re-election kitty and proving that bogus
investigations continue to pay off.
My dream, of course, is that Snow blows a gasket and perp-walks the aged autocrat. We'll
see.

we -- we started seeing Judge Snow in court and putting

these injunctions and all this stuff down on Arpaio.

then that is kind of when we said, hey, you know, this

is not right.

What is going on?

DON VOGEL:

DALE GRISSOM:

Okay.
What we thought was not right

was his wife telling people that -- that Judge Snow

wanted to do away with Arpaio and get rid of him or

whatever, whatever it was.

So

Do you know that your wife

an attorney.

Yeah, I did.

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES


I.

INTRODUCTION
On April 23, 2015, the Court questioned Defendant Arpaio about the areas of

contempt it identified in its Order to Show Cause (Doc. 880) regarding previous
investigations that the Maricopa County Sheriffs Office Special Investigations

Divisions conducted. (Evidentiary Hearing transcript-day 3, 635:23-642:12). The


7

Court then discussed a blog that New Times reporter, Stephen Lemmons published.
8
9
10

(Id. at 642:17-22). The Court handed a printed copy of the blog to Defendant
Arpaio. (Id. at 643:5-7). This blog was not previously identified as an exhibit. The

11

Court told Defendant Arpaio that the article was long and that if you need to take

12

the time to read it, you can do that. (Id. at 643:14-15). However, the Court did not

13

allow Defendant Arpaio the time to read the document; instead, the Court continued

14

to question Defendant Arpaio about the article and the statements in it. (Id. at

15

643:15-25; 644:1-25). After the Court finished questioning Defendant Arpaio about

16

the investigations about which Stephen Lemmons blogged, the Court stated that a

17
18

hold should be placed on all records that related to the subject investigations
including electronic data, funding of the operation, all phone records, e-mails,

19

reports, etc. (Id. at 659:1-24). The Court next sent the monitor to take possession
20

of those records. (Id. at 659:25-660:3). Next, two Deputy County Attorneys


21
22
23
24

performed an expedited and cursory review of over 3,300 pages of documents that
contained, among other things, financial documents bearing individuals account
numbers and social security numbers and documents deemed for law enforcement

use only. The attorneys had only a few hours to review the documents because the

Court ordered that they be released to the monitors immediately.

LAW AND ARGUMENT


A.

Sheriff Arpaio was Entitled to Notice Regarding The Courts Line


of Questioning and the Previously Undisclosed Document Placed
Before Him.

At a minimum, a Court must provide an alleged contemnor with notice and an


7

opportunity to be heard. Intl Union, United Mine Workers of America v. Bagwell,


8
9
10

512 U.S. 821, 827 (1994). The concept of notice includes prior disclosure and
provision of documents used at trial and prior identification of areas of examination.

11

See generally, Stuart v. United States, 813 F.2d 243, 251 (9th Cir.1987), rev'd on

12

other grounds, 489 U.S. 353 (1989); DP Aviation v. Smiths Indus. Aerospace & Def.

13

Sys. Ltd., 268 F.3d 829, 846-47 (9th Cir. 2001). Such advance notice is consistent

14

with an alleged contemnors right to present a defense. See United States v.

15

Powers, 629 F.2d 619, 625 (9th Cir. 1980). Further, the law requires progressively

16

greater procedural protections for indirect contempts of complex injunctions that

17
18

necessitate more elaborate and in-depth factfinding as in this case. See Intl Union,
United Mine Workers of Amercia v. Bagwell, 512 U.S. 821 at 833-34. Here,

19

although Defendant Arpaio testified that he previously read the article (Transcript,
20

643:23-24), the Court nor any other party previously provided it to Defendants nor
21
22
23
24

gave notice that Defendant Arpaio would be questioned about it. It was not
identified as an exhibit. Nor was Defendant Arpaio provided notice that this subject
area would be addressed. In contempt proceedings, procedural protections such as

RE 645

(706 of 1100)

Case 2:07-cv-02513-GMS

1035DktEntry:

7

prior notice are crucial in view of the heightened potential for abuse posed by the

contempt power. Taylor v. Hayes, 418 U.S. 488, 498 (1974).

B.

Defendants Are Entitled to Preserve the Attorney-Client and Work


Product Privileges.

The procedure outlined by the Court in its Order (Doc. 1032) places Defendants

5
6

in an untenable position in which they must immediately provide documents

pursuant to the Courts Order in such a way that sacrifices the attorney-client and

work product privileges. The two Deputy County Attorneys who quickly reviewed

documents on April 23, 2015 made random selections throughout the documents to

10
11
12

discern what the documents were and made a cursory check for any privileged
documents. They did not view any privileged documents; however, time did not
allow for a careful or thorough review. It is possible that privileged documents were

13

given to the monitors. This Court, could however, order pursuant to Federal Rules
14

of Evidence 502, that the privilege or protection is not waived by disclosure. As to


15
16
17

documents containing financial information, social security numbers, and those


marked as for law enforcement use only, Defendants ask that the Court designate

18

these documents, at a minimum, for attorney eyes only.

19

III.

20

CONCLUSION
Based on Defendants arguments above, Defendants request the following: 1)

21

that the Court allow them sufficient time to review the documents disclosed to the

22

monitors for attorney client and/or work product privilege and any other privilege that

23

may apply; 2) allow Defendants additional time to review the documents contained

24

on the external hard drive (two terabytes of data) provided to the monitors, that the

7

Court either allow defendants time to redact account numbers and social security

numbers from the documents or designate them for attorney eyes only.

3

5

Finally, Defendant Arpaio objects to the unorthodox manner that violated


Defendant Arpaios due process rights by questioning Defendant Arpaio on areas on
which he did not receive prior notice.

PLAINTIFFS MOTION FOR IN CHAMBERS AND EX PARTE INTERVIEW


OF WITNESS DENNIS MONTGOMERY
Plaintiffs hereby move the Court to present a key witness and whistleblower to the Court
for an in chambers, ex parte interview of Dennis Montgomery. Mr. Montgomery can testify
about the unconstitutional and illegal surveillance conducted by the National Security Agency
(NSA) and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) that is highly relevant and of crucial
importance to the above-styled lawsuits, as he worked closely with these agencies following the
tragedy of September 11, 2001.
As shown below, Montgomery has attempted to alert appropriate government authorities
that surveillance goes beyond what whistleblower Edward Snowden disclosed. In fact, the
surveillance has even harvested the records of judicial, congressional, and executive government
officials. Indeed, this is confirmed in no small part by Senator Diane Feinstein, previously the
Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who revealed that the CIA had illegally harvested
emails and other information of her and her staff.
The Courts interview of Dennis Montgomery in chambers and ex parte is needed to take
control and implement appropriate protective measure to preserve Montgomerys testimony and

to prevent witness tampering and obstruction of justice, including the issuance of appropriate
injunctions and/or protective orders. Montgomery has already been subject to witness tampering
and attempted obstruction of justice, threats, retaliation, and intimidation. He feels that even his
life and the safety of his family are in danger.
The Court must respectfully take whatever actions are within the powers of the federal
court to protect this witness and to reassure him to come forward and testify against the weight
of the intimidation and threats to the contrary.
I. INTRODUCTION: PROCEDURAL POSTURE
The lawsuits before this Court arose from uncontroverted public revelations that the
federal government, through the NSA and CIA, with the participation of certain
telecommunication and Internet companies, have secretly conducted overreaching and unlawful
surveillance of not just Plaintiffs but all American citizens within the United States, while
gathering and collecting certain highly-revealing, confidential, and highly-intrusive data about
individuals' telephone, email, social media and Internet activity.
In June, 2013, Plaintiffs brought two related lawsuits, Klayman v. Obama, Civil Action
No. 13-0851 (Klayman I), and Klayman v. Obama, Civil Action No. 13-0881 (Klayman II)
challenging the constitutionality and statutory authorization of certain intelligence-gathering
practices by the U.S. government relating to the wholesale collection of the phone, email,
Internet and social media metadata of virtually all U.S. citizens. In Klayman I, this Court issued a
preliminary injunction against the Government Defendants on December 16, 2013, which is now
on appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. See Klayman v.
Obama, et al., Nos. 14-5004, 14-5005, 14-5016, 14-5017 (D.C. Circuit).
Plaintiffs in Klayman II challenged the Government's secret and expansive government
scheme to intercept and analyze vast quantities of communications from Internet and electronic
service providers, through highly classified surveillance programs, such as "PRISM." Klayman II

Am. Compl. 3-6. PRISM is an internal government computer system implemented under Section
702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and is used to spy on, gather, and access
domestic and foreign intelligence collected from the Internet and other electronic service
providers. Klayman II Am. Compl. 2, 4-5. Thus far, none of Snowdens revelations have been
disproved by the Government Defendants, causing even Defendant President Barack Obama to
concede and disingenuously recommend, under intense pressure and to deflect criticism, NSA
surveillance reform.
Plaintiffs brought a third lawsuit, Klayman v. Obama, Civil Action No. 14-0092
(Klayman III), which alleged many of the same facts and plead similar causes of action as the
first two related lawsuits but was brought as a class action to address the constitutional violations
for all affected U.S. citizens.
II. STATEMENT OF FACTS AND EXIGENT CIRCUMSTANCES
A. Need to Take Expedited Action to Protect Montgomery
Montgomery is in poor health. He suffered a brain aneurysm and a related multi-infarct
stroke on May 12, 2014. He suffered both a hemorrhagic stroke (caused by ruptured blood
vessels that cause brain bleeding) and ischemic stroke (loss of blood flow). This type of stroke
has a 70-80% death rate in the first 28 days, which miraculously Montgomery survived. He was
in the hospital for two months, through July 2014. He has been left permanently disabled and
partially paralyzed. During two months of hospitalization he had only a limited ability to
communicate but he slowly recovered to some extent. See Exhibit 1.
Montgomery could suffer a similar or repeated event causing him to die at any time. He
could also lose the ability to communicate from the brain injury already experienced or from a
related, repeat neurological event. There is a continuing danger that complications or related or
repeat stroke events could injury his memory. Defendants actions to harass and harm

Montgomery to suppress his testimony has also caused severe emotional and physical stress on
him, which could be fatal under these medical circumstances. Id.
B. Background and Whistleblower Status
The U.S. Government approached Montgomery, Warren Trepp, and their company
eTreppid urging them to divert their efforts away from commercial applications of their
technology and expertise and away from negotiations with private companies for commercial
business. Trepp and Montgomery were eventually persuaded after the importance was explained
by U.S. Government officials to postpone their commercial work to help national security.
Later, upon learning of the vast constitutional violations being committed by government
agencies, Montgomery attempted to do the honorable and patriotic thing by filing whistleblower
complaints with the Inspectors General of the CIA, Defense Intelligence Agency, Department of
Defense, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Director of National
Intelligence, and Internal Revenue Service. Montgomery received letters summarily dismissing
his whistleblower complaints. In fact, nobody ever interviewed him to be able to evaluate or
analyze his whistleblower claims. Montgomery was unable to get the signers of the denial letters
on the phone. Montgomery also sent whistleblower complaints (reports) to Congressional
Committees such as the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee and to the White House under the
then-new administration of President Barack Obama, who had run for election on a promise of a
new air of transparency and an end to excessive surveillance activities. See Exhibit 2 - Kelly
Riddell, Chairman of Judiciary Committee blasts FBIs handling of whistleblowers, The
Washington Times, March 12, 2015.
C. Factual Context of Testimony For This Case
Montgomery is a witness as significant as whistleblower Edward Snowden, in particular
terms of the issues relevant in the instant cases. The elements of these lawsuits that have been
most discussed and addressed are within firsthand knowledge of Montgomery. Unlike Snowden,

Montgomery has not fled the country, is available as a witness, and is willing to present himself
to the Court in the pursuit of justice.
Montgomery, previously avoiding any public role and not a public figure, has now come
forward and filed a lawsuit in response to calculated defamation and attacks by Defendants upon
his character and professional conduct. The lawsuit, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3, is
for defamation by New York Times reporter James Risen arising in part out of Risens book Pay
Any Price: Greed, Power, and Endless War. The lawsuit is Dennis Montgomery v. James Risen,
et al., U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Case No. 1:15-cv-20782. In
Risens book, Risen acknowledges that he had received classified information from the
intelligence agencies of the U.S. Government. However, this information was falsified in order
to harm Montgomery and destroy his reputation.
More importantly, the content and nature of Risens writings about Montgomery portray
high-level conversations, meetings and decisions within the U.S. intelligence apparatus
concerning Montgomerys detection and analysis of foreign policy threats to the United States.
Risens reports include meetings, decisions, and conversations involving the highest levels of
Government. Risen also writes that Montgomery had direct access to the Oval Office and the
President of the United States. Risen would have no way of knowing about this access much
more what was discussed in the Oval Office unless those conversations were leaked to him by
U.S. Government officials at the highest levels. In this regard, Montgomery worked closely with
several high level officials such as CIA director John Brennan and Director of National
Intelligence, James Clapper, and many others. Further, by Risens own tacit acknowledgement
and actions, intelligence officials in the U.S. Government have sought to destroy Montgomery
professionally and personally in order to silence him and/or discredit him if he should speak and
testify in the national interest, as Snowden has done.

Importantly, Vice President Dick Cheney was recently interviewed by reporter James
Rosen of Playboy magazine regarding the intelligence activities ordered by President W. Bush
after September 11, 2001. As shown above, Montgomery was an integral part of the
Bush/Cheney White Houses intelligence operations. When asked about Risen, here is what
Cheney told Rosen: I dont have much confidence in Risen and I dont give any credence to
what Risen says. See Exhibit 3 James Rosen, Playboy Interview: Dick Cheney, Playboy,
March 17, 2015. Accordingly, Risen was used as a tool by the NSA and the CIA to try to
destroy Montgomery and undercut his whistleblowing status in order to save their own skins.
D. Witness Tampering and Obstruction of Justice
Accordingly, in retaliation to Montgomerys efforts to deal with his concerns honorably
and lawfully, Montgomery has been the target of a campaign to destroy his credibility and
professional reputation, and to threaten, intimidate and terrorize Montgomery as a likely witness
in cases like the instant ones before this Court now. Montgomery was abruptly attacked with a
variety of scatter-shot false charges and smears. His livelihood has been destroyed, resulting in
impoverishment. He has suffered the foreclosure of his home and eviction from his prior place
of residence.
Montgomery believes that his attempts to blow the whistle have also resulted in
unfounded and unlawful retaliation against him by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The
IRS was at his home with the FBI conducting a raid later ruled to be illegal by a Federal judge.
The U.S. Government then seized documents from his attorneys in 2010 without a court order
allowing them to do so. The DOJ conducted this raid and seizure under special orders from the
CIA. In violation of records retention laws, the U.S. Government has been destroying evidence
in Montgomerys case for years.
In sum, Montgomery has endured repeated raids on his home and business files. He has
had to go to court to get his property back. Although it has cost him enormous sums in

attorneys fees, he has been successful in prevailing against the Government agencies which
abused him. He has been driven into bankruptcy and personal financial and professional ruin as
a result of the retaliation against him as a whistleblower and potential witness. When the stress
and emotional pressure have left him struggling to cope, he has been persecuted and
misrepresented about the slightest imperfection in his personal life.
Only recently, an anonymous poster at Wikipedia kept repeatedly posting private
information about Dennis Montgomerys children on a Wikipedia article about Dennis
Montgomery, re-posting the details about his children as fast as Montgomery acted to remove
those names from Wikipedia. Naturally, Montgomerys children are not relevant to the posting
at Wikipedia. But more disturbing to Montgomery are the questions of who, but the NSA and
CIA, would know this private information about his children and why they would be so
determined to repeatedly post it on the internet at Wikipedia and harm him and his loved ones.
III. REQUESTED ACTION BY THE COURT.
The Court should take direct supervision of this matter and take action to protect
Montgomery because the record of conduct shows efforts at obstruction of justice and witness
tampering, including attempts to directly interfere with the claims in these cases.1 The full extent
of this and the direct relevance to key issues in this case will become clear upon interviewing
Montgomery. Montgomery has direct knowledge and evidence going to prove Plaintiffs case.
There is precedent for this procedure in the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia. The Honorable Royce C. Lamberth took information in camera without parties or

Plaintiffs respectfully request that this matter not be referred to the Department of Justice or the
FBI as of yet. The DOJ are the lawyers for the Defendants in this case. In addition, the DOJ has
been shown to be compromised under the Obama Administration, with scandals such as the IRS
scandal, the Fast and the Furious scandal, and the Benghazi scandal. See Exhibit 2 - Kelly
Riddell, Chairman of Judiciary Committee blasts FBIs handling of whistleblowers, The
Washington Times, March 12, 2015. Thus, subject to being interviewed in camera by the Court,
Plaintiffs request that witness Dennis Montgomery be taken under the Courts protective wing.

counsel present in the cases of Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Commerce, Case No. 950133 (D.D.C. July 29, 2005) which involved national security briefings by the CIA of suspected
communist Chinese spy John Huang at the Clinton Commerce Department.
In the same manner as Judge Lamberths precedent, this Court should now interview
Montgomery in camera under and pursuant to the security clearance of the district judge without
attorneys or parties present at this stage. The judge may then inform counsel and the parties
through a non-classified summary.
Prima facie evidence has been presented of multiple incidents of witness tampering and
obstruction of justice by retaliation of Montgomery, as presented in the Complaint filed by
Montgomery in the District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Exhibit 4), and as
presented in the writings and admissions by reporter James Risen that he was leaked what ineffect was falsified and defamatory information about Montgomery by the NSA, CIA, and other
U.S. Government intelligence services.
In summary, the Courts interview of Dennis Montgomery in chambers and ex parte, is
needed to take control and issue appropriate protection to preserve Montgomery against further
witness tampering and obstruction of justice, including the issuance of appropriate injunctions
and/or protective orders. The Plaintiffs respectfully ask the Court to take supervision and take
action to protect the important and necessary testimony of Montgomery on an exigent basis
given the threats to Montgomery and his poor health, resulting in the possibility that he could die
before he could come forward as a witness at trial. The Court and the parties will need to craft
procedures and rules to manage any classified information that may be disclosed to the Court
during the in camera interview and thereafter.
IV. CONCLUSION
Plaintiffs, by counsel, respectfully request the Court to craft an appropriate procedure to
interview Dennis Montgomery in chambers ex parte.

Is that the

confidential informant?

A.

Yes.

Q.

And so when Mr. Montgomery was a confidential informant, he

was some sort of a computer consultant?

A.

Yes.

Q.

And as a confidential informant, his fees would have to be

paid, or approved, if in fact it was before the transfer of

A.

That's possible.

has its own funds.

658

Is that possible?

THE WITNESS:

THE COURT:

No.

Okay.

Do you know what the possible

to the Seattle operation?

When I say "operation," I mean the one involving

Mr. Montgomery and the investigations with Brian Mackiewicz and

Mr. Anglin.

THE COURT:

No.

What about asset forfeiture funds, would

23

any asset forfeiture funds have been involved in funding this

clear, to the extent that you have any control over any funding

records, over any reports, over any communications, over any

overtime records, travel documentation, any e-mails of any and

all people involved in the threat assessment unit or anywhere

else, any communications from and to Montgomery, any computers

or phones, cell phones or other information that in any way is

and that's why we're making the request.

Ms. Iafrate did advise yesterday that she is still

considering our request for those documents, and so we have not

received defendants' position on that yet.

I would beg your indulgence --

You have it.

We're going to meeting every

Let me just say, and I was going to raise this later,

10

and perhaps I will raise it later, but it strikes me that

11

plaintiffs do have the opportunity, in light of the deficits

12

that have been discovered, to seek to reopen the nature of the

13

injunctive relief that I have requested.

14

also that, you know, Maricopa County can resist that, has the

15

right to resist it.

16

09:21:59

It does strike me

09:22:24

It seems to me the practical reality of that, though,

17

is I either make a determination based on this record that we

18

develop over the next couple of months or I reset this matter

19

for a whole new trial.

20

for the -- whatever else you're going to say, it seems to me

21

that civil contempt -- a civil contempt order is going to be --

22

at least a civil contempt order is going to be entered here at

least against some defendants.

It strikes me as being worth the effort

They've confessed it.

don't want to prohibit your rights, Mr. Como, or anybody

else's, but it seems to me that it would be worthwhile for you

to talk and see what kind of remedies, Mr. Young, you would

propose, and see if those are acceptable to Ms. Iafrate.

And if they are -- and I realize that you may not be

able to provide specific ones until the evidence is developed,

but at least the general types of remedies -- because if they

are, I think it would be, arguably, to the benefit of all

parties, because I'm going to give, at a minimum, if Maricopa

10

County fights everything, I'm going to give a new trial to the

11

plaintiffs as -- it's extremely likely, and I'm not going to

12

make them wait and submit a fee award.

13

been very expensive, I will require monthly payments to be made

14

to the plaintiffs' counsel to pay for that trial since they

15

should not have to pay for it, in light of the fact that

16

this -- it would be part of a civil contempt award.

17

09:23:23

09:23:39

Since the trials have

09:23:58

And I don't say that to be threatening, I'm just

18

telling you what I'm thinking, so that it might make sense from

19

your perspective and from their perspective to either stipulate

20

to a field of discovery that they want, to discover this and

21

see if you can arrive at remedies that you can all live with,

22

because it does seem to me like, and we'll discuss this in

23

others respects, too, the option is a whole new trial of this

24

case from the beginning, or at least that's certainly one

25

option.

But Ms. Iafrate, as you consider their request, I

guess to the extent any of that sort of musing of mine is

helpful, I wanted to give it to you.

because I think there are issues that we can do something about

and there are issues that we can't do much about, and of course

I want to have counsels' input on that.

response is but not waste a lot of time on it.

MR. YOUNG:

09:25:01

If we can do

Your Honor, I assume the new trial you're

referring to would be on the subject of remedies.

18

THE COURT:

That's correct.

19

MR. YOUNG:

Yes.

There is one more issue relating to

20

the February 12 order, and I'm going to ask Ms. Iafrate's

21

forgiveness, since this was in the May 5th order -- the May 5th

22

letter that we sent her, but I have not spoken to her about it

23

since then, which is the scope of disclosure with respect to

24

individuals who were detained outside the traffic stop context.

that these individuals did fit within the class.

Arpaio would object.

I do have the class here, I think.


Beg your pardon?

09:27:35

The class is, quote, all Latino persons

who, since January 2007, have been, or will be in the future,

stopped, detained, questioned, or searched by MCSO agents while

driving or sitting in a vehicle on a public roadway or parking

10

area in Maricopa County, Arizona.

09:28:00

11

It does seem to me -- and again, I'm going to give you

12

a full opportunity to make your argument -- but it does seem to

13

me that if MCSO is detaining someone to take them to Border

14

Patrol because they have no state charge and they're doing it

15

in a motor vehicle on a public roadway, they're the ones that

16

have made them a member of the plaintiff class by definition.

that it was solicited from your questioning, Your Honor.

All right.

You know, this raises another

I've been trying -- and I was going to discuss this

10

later, but I might as well raise it now since it's the issue.

11

I do think that one of the purposes of contempt is

12

compensation.

13

clearly it's to the defendants' interests to argue about how

14

broad or how narrowly those interests are defined.

15

Clearly, there have been lots of victims, and

But I'm trying to think, is there any way I can

16

compensate the victims of the sheriff's contempt in a realistic

17

way, and I'm having trouble with it.

19

anything I can do in this lawsuit that would restrict the right

20

21

to bring.

22

09:31:05

I told the plaintiffs

I mean, I don't -- I don't know that there is

09:31:44

And I suppose that I could compel the creation of a

23

fund as against which claims could be made if somebody wanted

24

to surrender their claims, but I'm not sure -- you know, if I

were to do that, that would not have the benefit to the

the benefit of eliminating liability, then perhaps the

plaintiffs ought to either determine whether or not they wanted

to bring their own class action, whether they want to associate

class counsel, whether they want to provide some sort of

procedure whereby we could, if necessary, sever the

compensatory aspects of this in a class action that then would

be reassigned to me where arguments like this can be made.

And if it wouldn't have

09:32:25

MR. YOUNG:

Well, Your Honor, I can report --

10

THE COURT:

And you wouldn't have to -- you wouldn't

11

have to reinvent the wheel with a judge who isn't very familiar

12

with what's going on here.

13

I mean, it seems to me we have a lot of possibilities,

14

but they require some thinking.

15

to whether or not I'm going to -- just so nobody's confused by

16

it, if I feel like I can't give, and I'm not likely to be able

17

to give, any sort of adequate remedy to persons damaged by the

18

sheriff's violation of my preliminary injunction, that does

19

make some difference to me as to whether or not I ought to

20

order up this matter for criminal contempt, just so it's on the

21

table.

22

So Mr. Young?

MR. YOUNG:

evidence on this issue of compensation.

an important, very important part of this proceeding, and we

appreciate, actually, the expedition that the Court has

expressed its desire to achieve.

28

We do believe that's

So we have also had some discussions with Mr. Walker

and Ms. Iafrate about having a discussion Monday, actually,

starting a discussion on whether we can agree on a process for

compensation of class members, the people who are victims of

the injunction.

We haven't yet fleshed that out, but

10

obviously, I mean, I don't think it's too much of a leap to say

11

that if someone obtains compensation in the course of that

12

process, whether it's agreed upon or imposed as a remedy by

13

this Court, that they wouldn't be free in some other lawsuit to

14

seek additional compensation.

15

So it would be our desire to have that compensation


for those people who were detained unlawfully in violation of

17

the injunction to obtain compensation as part of the remedy

18

process in this case.


THE COURT:

All right.

09:34:23

19

09:33:53

Well, I'd suggest, then, that

you can arrive at a procedure that I will buy.

to advise you that even if you buy it, and even if they buy it,

I might not buy it.

The next is the status of defendants' compliance with

the Court's April 23rd-24th, 2015 orders relating to document

production.

09:35:27

I have noticed, Ms. Iafrate, that over the last day or

maybe two days, you've started to produce those documents and

provide them to all sides.

and he gave me a couple of concerns that, frankly, I hadn't

The monitor started to review them

10

been aware of, and I want to raise them with you, and I gather

11

that you'll probably have a couple of both logistical and

12

perhaps other concerns you want to raise.

13

09:35:42

Apparently, the materials that you are providing

14

involve records that I -- and, Bob, if I misstate this, tell

15

me -- but I believe the monitor on first cut thinks, based

16

partly on Chief Deputy Sheridan's testimony, there was

17

something I hadn't anticipated.

18

Mr. Montgomery would have done a file dump with the MCSO of

19

those files that he apparently procured without authoriza- --

20

or claims to have procured without authorization from the CIA.

21

Is that an issue?

22

MS. IAFRATE:

23

THE COURT:

09:36:04

I had not anticipated that

09:36:25

That is an issue, Your Honor.

All right.

And in those files, at least

24

according to the initial review of my monitor, there is a

25

number of names, addresses, telephone numbers of individuals.

comply, to review this material for attorney-client privilege

doesn't, but all the other documents she's providing in Bates

stamped order, and I gather that we may some need to discuss

31

that the doc -- it may be that his assertion that these

actually were documents that are a CIA dump are not correct.

But it occurs to me that if there is a chance that you believe

that you did receive CIA files, if you haven't already done it,

if you have not already done it, I'm going to ask you to

contact the chief counsel for the CIA and inform him that you

received these documents, the date you received these

documents, and see if they wish to intervene in this action and

take any protective measures with respect to these documents.

10

Do you have any problem doing that?

11

MS. IAFRATE:

I think, I think that that would be prudent.

All right.

Other issues that you have,

Ms. Iafrate.
MS. IAFRATE:

09:39:08

I do have other issues regarding --

22

regarding that production.

I received a call from Chief Girvin

23

yesterday very concerned regarding the release of these

documents to others rather than the monitors, and I advised

25

them that I was ordered to do so by Your Honor in --

And you were.


-- docket 1032.

So --

No, no, you clearly were.

I hadn't

anticipated that you had a document dump like this, so you're

right, I did make that order.

MS. IAFRATE:

09:39:40

So the monitors have received documents

well before plaintiffs, because we were given the opportunity

to then review them and Bates stamp them and get them in order

to send them out to plaintiffs as well as the other attorneys.

10

There is a hard drive that has over two terabytes of data dump

11

on it in sub-folders.

12

THE COURT:

13

MS. IAFRATE:

14

THE COURT:

Are these the alleged CIA documents?


Yes.

This has --

Let me ask, are you -- and I'm sorry to

15

interrupt you -- are you able to segregate what the alleged CIA

16

documents are from other documents that were prepared by

17

Mr. Montgomery?

18

09:39:59

MS. IAFRATE:

To a point, Your Honor.

09:40:16

This hard drive

19

is the one that's most troubling, and I think that it -- I

20

think that the monitors would agree that it would be the most

21

troubling, not only the content that's on this hard drive is

22

personal in nature to hundreds of thousands of alleged victims

23

of identity theft, but also to duplicate it and get it in a

24

process that would be usable for plaintiffs and other attorneys

25

would require weeks of effort on the part of our third-party

vendor, and each shot would be approximately $87,000.

So the paper and the thumb drives and the other

information that has been provided to us, we have pushed that

out to plaintiffs, but this hard drive that I believe is

concerning -- and I won't speak for Chief Girvin, but he

expressed concern, too -- this is the bulk of the data dump

that I think that we should be most cautious about.

11

THE COURT:

All right.

09:41:22

Let me -- well, does anybody

have anything else they want to say before I venture some


thoughts?

09:41:42

It seems to me that we can do this.

In addition to

12

the concern that the monitor raised, he's also indicated to me,

13

at least based on a rough initial look, that there are clearly

14

documents in that file that are very relevant to this

15

litigation.

16

chance to look at that, and I guess -- so I don't want to

17

prevent them from looking at those things, but I see your point

18

that, you know, this data dump -- whether it's real, whether

19

it's false, whether it's partly real, partly false -- may be

20

very large, and may have lots of information.

21

And I believe that the plaintiffs have to have a

09:42:01

09:42:24

Does anybody object if I have my monitor coordinate

22

with Ms. Iafrate in terms of attempting to characterize

23

documents that you have in your possession, but I -- I guess

24

I'll just say just set them aside until the monitor coordinates

conferences, what parts of that larger document file, if any,

are relevant to the ongoing proceeding here.

prevent you from looking at other documents that are not part

of that file.

Does that work for you, Ms. Iafrate?

MS. IAFRATE:

Yes, Your Honor.

And that will not

However, just to

10

complicate matters, I think that there are duplications from

11

the paper documents that have been provided --

12

THE COURT:

13

MS. IAFRATE:

14
15

09:43:31

Already?
Already, and there is some data dump in

those documents as well.


THE COURT:

All right.

Well, I think -- I think, and

16

tell me if you object to this, to the extent that you've

17

already done paper documents and put Bates stamps on them that

18

have been disclosed, we will let the plaintiffs look at those

19

subject to the protective order I just entered, which is they

20

are not to release them without order of this Court.

21

09:43:11

09:43:43

09:43:59

And then I guess I'm going to ask you, Ms. Iafrate,

22

would you please, unless you have an objection to doing so,

23

copy all counsel -- and the Court -- on your letter to -- or on

24

your communication, whatever it is, to counsel for the Central

25

Intelligence Agency?

THE COURT:

All right.

Well, is there an issue you

09:44:37

want to talk to me about at sidebar on this?

MS. IAFRATE:

No, I'm just thinking out loud, Your

Honor, that this is a very sensitive matter that relates to CIA

intelligence, and potentially Mr. Montgomery's motive or

10

technique.

I'm just concerned that --

11

THE COURT:

12

MS. IAFRATE:

09:44:53

Well --- I'd like to be as candid as possible,

13

but I'm in an adversary position with plaintiffs' counsel as it

14

relates to my client.

THE COURT:

Mr. Young?

MR. YOUNG:

Well, Your Honor, plaintiffs have no

09:45:06

would be interested in it, and your suggested -- the Court's

MR. YOUNG:

If Ms. Iafrate thinks that she can write a

better letter that's more informative to the CIA without

copying us on it, we're fine not getting it.

THE COURT:

MR. COMO:

All right.

How about you, Mr. Como?

I don't need to be copied on that letter,

THE COURT:

MR. WALKER:

Mr. Walker?
Your Honor, I don't think I need to have

a copy, although I must say I'm confused by this whole

10

discussion, probably primarily because I'm hearing a lot of

11

this for the first time.

12
13

16

THE COURT:

09:46:01

But the letter --

You were here, sir, with all the rest of

us; you were here.


MR. WALKER:

But to answer the Court's question

directly, I don't believe that I need to receive the letter.


THE COURT:

All right.

09:46:11

Well, you know, I think,

17

Ms. Iafrate, if you can't send it to the parties, I probably

18

ought not to receive it, either, but will authorize you to send

19

it to CIA counsel, ask you to retain a copy because it may

20

become relevant.

21

09:45:49

Your Honor.

36

09:46:28

And it does seem to me -- and I think that if you

22

would, and you can refer to the minutes of this hearing, you

23

can tell the CIA in a letter that we have an ongoing hearing.

24

It's my determination that allegations are relevant to the

25

ongoing hearing, and we're going to proceed with this ongoing

Well you can make them aware of it by the

letter and however else you want to do it.

And perhaps if the

press is here they'll make them aware of it, too, but -- well,

10

I -- but we can't rely on that.

11

they should notify -- they should notify us within two weeks if

they want to assert any privilege.

I will let them know.

18

MR. YOUNG:

09:47:19

09:47:39

Your Honor, there's one detail, and I'm

19

not sure whether Ms. Iafrate is the right person or not, but we

20

did notice in the sealed order that was filed yesterday by

21

Judge Boyle that there were some interview transcripts that

22

were referred to in the correspondence which were not part of

23

that set of documents that was given to Magistrate Boyle, and

24

it would seem to us and it would be our assumption that as part

25

of the production of the documents that Your Honor ordered

to operate, I'm not going to say so unless the parties don't --

don't request the depositions and I think it's absolutely

necessary.

In conjunction with that, and I'm not sure how many

parties will have received this and how many parties will not

have received this, but I received a request for admission

pro hac vice from a Jonathan Alden Moseley.

it is he indicated that he had provided copies of this request

for admission to all parties of record.

10
11

The reason I raise

He also provided me a

letter with that request for admission pro hac vice.

10:04:46

There are some parts relating to confidential matters

12

pertaining to whether or not I would admit him to practice

13

here, and he requests that they, for the most part, be kept

14

confidential unless they need to be known, and I think I want

15

to honor that request.

16

it's relevant, but my concern is this.

17

10:04:21

I don't see any reason that it -- that

10:05:08

Pursuant to Arizona rules, I admit somebody

18

pro hac vice only if I'm going to admit them as a party to a

19

particular action.

20

people here that are representing others, they are not parties

21

to the action.

22

he's provided inconsistent information, because in his

23

application he says -- I ask -- in his application for his

24

admission pro hac vice, he says I ask that the Court and the

25

parties consider that I, Jonathan Moseley, am not proposing to

Now, I have -- although there are a lot of

actually participate in the conduct of this case, but merely to

sponsor the filing of an amicus curiae brief for Sheriff Joe

Arpaio by attorney Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch.

And then, in a letter dated the same date, he says

that he wants to enter an appearance on behalf of Dennis

Montgomery because he says without naming who, but it must

either be Sheriff Arpaio or Sheriff Sheridan, that one of the

witnesses doesn't know what they're talking about with respect

to some of the testimony he's heard that they issued about

10

Dennis Montgomery's work, and that he wants to correct the

11

record and answer any questions, and he will be happy to do

12

that however the Court deems best fit.

13
14

10:06:16

10:06:35

Now, he tells me that he's copied all counsel of


record.

Have you all received this letter?

MR. YOUNG:

MS. IAFRATE:

MR. WALKER:

MR. COMO:

19

THE COURT:

Plaintiffs have not, Your Honor.

10:06:53

I have not, Your Honor.


I have not, Your Honor.

I'm not aware of receiving it.


Well, my concern, I'll just say it, is I

20

know that Mr. Klayman is representing Sheriff Arpaio in the

21

D.C. Circuit action, and it seems to me that if he's trying to

22

represent, and he may be trying to represent Sheriff Arpaio

23

here, he says he is.

24

Dennis Montgomery here, and he says that he's an associate with

25

Mr. Klayman in Freedom Watch.

10:07:02

But then he says he's trying to represent

51

Well, as I understand it, Freedom Watch is a special

interest law firm that's representing Sheriff Arpaio in another

action and cannot then take positions adverse to his

representation here.

So I have some real concerns about granting this

opportunity at our next status hearing for Mr. Klayman to

I will, if you haven't received this


But I

10

appear if he wishes to and seek to be admitted pro hac vice and

11

clarify who and what and why he wants to be admitted

12

pro hac vice; and how, if in fact he wishes to represent Dennis

13

Montgomery and be critical of testimony offered by the

14

defendants in this matter, he can do so without a conflict.

And that may be something, Ms. Iafrate, you may wish

to explore prior to that hearing.

the parties believe that that deposition would be beneficial.

I've already discussed with you some of my thoughts

10:08:38

about whether or not it wouldn't be worthwhile for you to talk

and see if there's ways to simplify this action in terms of

possible remedies, be they damages remedies to individual

It will be very difficult for me to advise

THE COURT:

All right.

Thank you, Judge.

THE COURT:

Uh-huh.

Now, I want to take up the application for admission

to practice pro hac vice of Mr. Jon -- oh, was there anybody

12

else who had anything to say on that?

13

practice pro hac vice of Mr. Jonathon A. Moseley.

appear telephonically but I did not hear him appear.

Are you there, Mr. Moseley?

32

He called

We authorized him to

10:12:52

Mr. Moseley?

Let me tell you my concerns, and I guess

I'm going to lay them out.


Ms. Iafrate, Mr. Moseley is affiliated with Freedom

10:13:11

21

Watch, which represents Sheriff Arpaio in another action in the

22

district court of -- or in the D.C. Circuit now, so he has an

23

attorney-client relationship with Sheriff Arpaio.

24

Arpaio, and I believe Chief Deputy Sheridan, have both

25

testified in this action that the material they received from

Sheriff

10:13:35

RE 731

CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 5/14/15 Status Hearing

Mr. Montgomery has been discredited, and I don't mean to put

words in their mouth but I think it's pretty clear they said

that on a number of occasions.

I mean, that was my
10:13:52

Is the sheriff -- are you withdrawing that testimony?

MS. IAFRATE:

8
9

No, Your Honor, we're not withdrawing

it.
THE COURT:

If that's the case, then it seems to me

10

like it's just not possible for Mr. Moseley, without creating a

11

conflict, to represent Mr. Montgomery in this action while

12

representing Sheriff Arpaio in another action and challenging

13

the validity of Sheriff Arpaio and Chief Deputy Sheridan's

14

statements about Mr. Moseley in this action.

15

not appearing, and so it is my determination that I'm going to

16

deny his petition -- or application for admission to practice

17

pro hac vice, because it seems to me that it would create a

18

conflict in this case.

19

MS. IAFRATE:

10:14:04

And Mr. Moseley's


10:14:29

Well, Your Honor, it's unfortunate that

20

Mr. Moseley is not here because this is his motion, not mine.

21

However, all that I can tell you is that within his pleading

22

papers they're saying that there is no conflict.

23

to ask -- I was hopeful that Mr. Moseley would be on the phone

24

so that we could ask how could he say that.

deal with his motion to intervene, which strikes me, as I said,

20

to be a little bit problematic, anyway.

MR. YOUNG:

35

additional reasons beyond what Your Honor has just stated, and

I'll state those on the record now since the motion may be

renewed.

Under Local Rule 83.1(b)(2), this is a discretionary

issue for the Court under United States versus Ries,

100 F.3d 1469 (9th Cir. 1996):

strongly suggests through his behavior that he will neither

abide by the court's rules and practices - thus impeding the

'orderly administration of Justice' - nor be readily answerable

if he were to be admitted.

That's also not true, because he

refers to a Virginia Supreme Court case relating to his earlier

Now, what happened in the Virginia case

19

that caused Mr. Moseley's suspension was that there was a key

prior to a hearing by Mr. Moseley.

So the courts

In addition, the Virginia court noted -- and this is

also omitted from Mr. Moseley's letter to you -- the court

found that Mr. Moseley filed in excess of 80 pleadings and

motions in the case and used abusive discovery tactics and

filed frivolous pleadings.

10

The court also found that Mr. Moseley wrote letters to

intimidate and harass.

that statement also is false.

I asked them

if they had authority from the CIA for me to give them the

about payments that may have been made to Mr. Montgomery,

10:31:23

The documents that I have seen pertain to what appears

to be some of the activities of the Seattle operation we

involve Dennis Montgomery as a confidential informant.

The

10

documents seem to reveal that as at least part of their

11

operations, the Seattle operatives attempted to construct an

12

alleged conspiracy that supposedly involved this Court; one of

13

this Court's former law clerks; Eric Holder, the attorney

14

general of the United States; Lanny Breuer, the Chief Deputy

15

Attorney General of the United States in charge of the criminal

16

division; Phil Gordon, the mayor of Phoenix; and Brian Sands,

17

the executive chief of the MCSO.

18

conspiracy was apparently to covertly investigate the MCSO and

19

deprive the sheriff and the MCSO of the due process of law in

20

this particular case and in a related case brought against the

21

sheriff by the DOJ.

22

10:31:43

10:32:02

The purpose of the alleged

10:32:22

This Seattle operation work product seems to purport

23

that by allegedly using a database of information harvested by

24

the CIA and confiscated by him, Mr. Montgomery was able to

25

reproduce fragments of e-mails that had been sent in 2009 and

Anyway, the documents purport to track telephone calls

between this Court, Eric Holder, Lanny Breuer, and Dennis Burke

12

to reproduce those phone calls which occurred years earlier.

13

And between the Court and one of its former law clerks, who

14

apparently allegedly was supposed to have served as this

Court's liaison with the Department of Justice regarding this

case.

17

10:32:56

The documents appear to allege or suggest that this

case before the Court was ever assigned to it.

20

seems to suggest that when Judge Murguia recused from this

21

22

so that the case was deliberately assigned to this Court.

case, and it also alleges that this Court issued an order to

tap the MCSO's phones after being assigned as the judge in this

case.

It also seems to allege that this Court had

conversations, as I've indicated, with the Department of

Justice, through one of its former law clerks as an

intermediary.

10:34:19

Now, I will tell you I've looked at these documents

closely and I think there are a great deal of problems with

them.

But I don't intend to put them on the screen and go over

10

those problems because I believe that Sheriff Arpaio and

11

Chief Sheridan have both acknowledged that the materials

12

received from Montgomery are not credible and/or are junk.

13

I'm not presuming at this point that the MCSO is alleging that

14

anything the documents contain in this respect are true.

10:34:35

So

15

If, Ms. Iafrate, you're going to assert that, I will

16

tell you that I'm going to require good faith assertions that

17

any of that information is true, and I have a number of

18

questions that you will have to respond to.

19

assuming, as I do, that the sheriff and Chief Sheridan both

20

will say that those documents are not credible, the very

21

existence of these documents in the MCSO's files causes this

22

Court some concerns.

23

10:34:53

Nevertheless,

10:35:16

In addition to their tendency to suggest that previous

24

testimony offered in this matter may have been untruthful, the

47

their time, money, and resources in implementing its order,

they were funding a confidential informant as well as three

MCSO deputies or posse members to be in Seattle, Washington,

and other places, accruing overtime, travel, and salary

expenses, as well as significant technology costs, attempting

to construct some bogus conspiracy theory to discredit this

Court.

The Court notes that as of the monitor's last report,

the MCSO was only 29 percent in compliance with the injunctive

10

order entered a year and a half ago, approximately the same

11

time as this Seattle operation began.

12

explanation for all of this, I realize that these are only

documents in MCSO's file, but I'm going to require you to

its own Professional Standards Bureau.

Rather than

This Court's orders were violated at the very start of

that investigation, and that is part of the notice contempt.

And even though many of the allegations of misconduct arose --

that were at issue in the Armendariz investigation arose from

the conduct of the HSU, the MCSO transferred in as the new

regarding that motion to stay.

first.

I think we ought to rule on it

Basically, last week the movants -Now, Mr. Popolizio, are you and Mr. Masterson on

behalf of the -- I'm not taking oral argument on this but I

have a few questions.

are you here on behalf of the defendants?

Are you here on behalf of the movants or

MR. POPOLIZIO:

This is a joint motion for stay.

THE COURT:

I'm here on behalf of Sheriff Arpaio.

Well, wait a minute.

Are you here

10

representing the defendants or are you here trying to represent

11

Sheriff Arpaio separately?

12

MR. POPOLIZIO:

13

Sheridan is on this motion also.

14

THE COURT:

Today both, Your Honor.

I know.

Are you representing any of the

alleged non-party contemnors other than Sheriff Arpaio and

11:08:53

civilly, Your Honor.


THE COURT:

All right.

Then I'll note that you filed

20

last week a motion for stay, which basically said you disagreed

21

with my ruling on the motion to recuse -- not a big surprise --

22

and that you asked that I enter a stay based upon that

23

disagreement and the importance of the issue to this case.

24

didn't cite any legal authority, and you didn't say why this

25

met with the legal authority.

CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 11

Plaintiffs, in their response, filed legal authority,

and you, in your reply, then apparently accepted that authority

and joined the argument.

Normally, of course, we don't consider replies,

arguments raised in reply that weren't raised in the motion,

and so I'm inclined not to consider yours, except for I do

think that it's an important issue in this case.

8

11:09:44

Number one, whether you have made a strong showing


that you're likely to prevail on the merits, with all due

10

respect, I entered a 40-page order.

11

that your motion is filed in good faith, I developed in great

12

detail why I think the motion does not have any merit, let

13

alone any likelihood of success.

Friday when we filed the reply, that's why I'm bringing this to

back and stated that it was grounds for recusal.

MR. JIRAUCH:

THE COURT:

I have, Your Honor.

All right.

Well, Mr. Jirauch, I would ask

you to address documents 480, 488, and 489 in your oral

argument.

you're not completely out at sea, because I realize that many

of you don't have much history in this case.

And I will tell you what those documents are so

Back in 2011, December of 2011, parties filed motions

for summary judgment, and before I heard summary judgment I

asked the parties to provide supplemental briefing, and the

10

supplemental briefing I asked them to address:

11

legal basis is there, if any, for MCSO to assert that it has

12

the authority going forward to enforce civil violations of the

13

federal immigration law?

14

11:16:53

What good faith

11:17:15

The plaintiffs put forth a brief which set forth the

15

law as it has since been reaffirmed that you had none, and even

16

your own client in his supplemental brief indicated that he had

17

none, and so I entered the preliminary injunction as it

18

pertained to your client's ability to attempt to enforce civil

19

violations of the federal immigration law even if they had

20

knowledge that somebody was in the country without

21

authorization if they didn't have any basis to charge the

22

person based on state law.

23

argued, to the extent that Ms. Iafrate or Mr. Masterson has

24

argued, that the class doesn't include those people, I want to

25

know why it doesn't.

11:17:33

So to the extent that you have

of the plaintiff class.

So to the extent you're trying to say that I'm

expanding the plaintiff class, I'm not; to the extent that

you're asserting that in some way this was not an issue that

was anticipated by the evidence, well, summary judgment was

granted on this issue in 2011 before there ever was any

evidence.

or how -- and I haven't made any ruling on this point; I'm not

10

sure I have to make any ruling on this point -- but how I'm

11

expanding the plaintiff class.

12

MR. JIRAUCH:

11:18:44

13

that parties be given notice of the claims that are going to be

14

asserted against them.

sense in the context of a traffic stop.

"Sitting" obviously

11:19:36

The detention itself refers, I believe, in the context

of the evidence that was presented at the trial, refers to a

detention that occurs as a consequence of a pretextual stop

that's discriminating in nature.

10

THE COURT:

The stops that occur --

Are you arguing for an exception that

11

would swallow the whole class?

12

MR. JIRAUCH:

13

THE COURT:

11:19:57

I'm sorry, Your Honor?

Are you arguing for an exception that

14

would swallow the whole class?

15

MR. JIRAUCH:

No, Your Honor.

We're only trying to

11:20:07

16

say that as to people who are detained as a consequence of work

17

force enforcement actions they are not pretextual in nature,

18

first; they are as a consequence of search warrants and arrest

19

warrants that are issued by the judiciary, the state courts;

20

they are the consequence of having detained someone who is

21

Latino, and believed possibly to be in the country illegally;

22

the Sheriff's Office policy was, insofar as we know, was

23

enforced in all cases but possibly one, that they would talk

24

with ICE or the Border Patrol and inquire as to the individual

25

and whether they were in the United States illegally.

Only when ICE or the Border Patrol did a search of the

federal database and came back and advised the Sheriff's Office

that these individuals were in the United States illegally were

they retained at the request of ICE and the Border Patrol.

no time did the Sheriff's Office exercise independent decision

making --

THE COURT:

says that that was Sheriff Arpaio's policy, in his own press

release, that the detention was a result of his policy?


MR. JIRAUCH:

Well, the facts are and the evidence

11:21:17

11

that developed -- all I can talk to is what the evidence was in

afterwards.

11:22:02

I don't presume that she otherwise did

MR. JIRAUCH:

comment that Judge Silver had adopted all the rulings here, and

I understood that --

I also filed the motion regarding this issue.

THE COURT:

Did you want to address something, Ms. Iafrate?

MS. IAFRATE:

MS. IAFRATE:

22

Do you want to address the

Yes, in part.

Okay.

11:23:13

I will not reiterate what was already

23

THE COURT:

24

MS. IAFRATE:

25

11:23:04

All right.
Your Honor, in my motion, or whatever

it's called, I discuss the elements of 23(b).

I'm not going to

RE 770

CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 22

reiterate all of those.

questions that you asked regarding Mr. Jirauch deal with what

authority did Sheriff Arpaio have to enforce immigration laws,

and that is a case that I have pending in another court -- it's

actually next door in Judge Campbell's court -- and it deals

with Puente v. Arizona.

THE COURT:

Well, again, I'm talking only about this

case.

MS. IAFRATE:

I understand, Your Honor --

What I'm doing is --

11:23:58

-- but you wanted to know what

authority.

13

THE COURT:

-- addressing the argument that I believe

14

you made that this was never an issue when I certified the

15

class.

16

asked for supplemental briefing before I certified the class.

17

It clearly was an issue because I asked about it, and I

11:24:04

And then when I certified the class -- and this was

18

also in the motion for summary judgment -- I asked for this as

19

it particularly pertained for the motion for summary judgment

20

and if -- unless I misread it, plaintiffs clearly said you had

21

no authority, and I think you conceded that you had no

22

authority under the state of the existing law to detain persons

23

without authorization based only on the belief that they'd

24

violated civil immigration law.

25

in this case at that time --

11:24:21

So that was very much an issue

MS. IAFRATE:

THE COURT:

MS. IAFRATE:

Your Honor, even --

-- and that's why I asked the question.


I understand, Your Honor.

Even

plaintiffs didn't realize that it was an issue in this case

because they subsequently filed Puente v. Arizona that deals

with 13-2008 and 13-2009, which is the identity theft statutes

that Sheriff Arpaio had authority in order to investigate based

on valid search warrants at the workplace locations.

11:24:45

So in response to your question to Mr. Jirauch, that

10

was the authority that was being relied on, and subsequent to

11

your motion for summary judgment ruling, subsequent to your

12

certification of the class, the recertification of the class,

13

plaintiffs themselves, the ACLU, filed that lawsuit because

14

they did not believe that those individuals were subject to

15

this class action.

16

THE COURT:

11:25:24

All right.

Well, I'll ask plaintiffs

17

about that, and I don't know to what extent you want me to take

18

judicial notice of issues that are involved there in some sort

19

of a complex argument, but let me ask you this, Ms. Iafrate.

20

11:25:07

A lot of this related to plaintiffs' request that they

21

receive the identifications which I think, as I recall,

22

Lieutenant Jakowinicz testified that he had made the

23

enumerations not only of people they turned over to Border

24

Patrol that had resulted from their own operations, HSU's

25

operations in terms of -- oh, I don't know what the word would

CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 24

be, but traffic stops; and they'd also made the enumeration of

persons that had been turned over to Border Patrol but not

charged as a result of workplace enforcement raids that had

been in motor vehicles.

Plaintiffs asked for that information as a matter of

discovery, and whether or not Maricopa County is going to be on

the hook for violating workplace raid detentions folks that

were subsequently taken to Border Patrol, I did order that it

was relevant and should be provided.

10

Have you provided that information to plaintiffs?

11

MS. IAFRATE:

12

THE COURT:

All right.

Is there any reason why at

this point I have to rule one way or another on Mr. Walker's

14

motion and your motion?

16
17

MS. IAFRATE:

Yes, Your Honor.

To define the class

11:26:40

and to -THE COURT:

Well, the class has already been defined a

18

long time ago.

19

workplace enforcement members of the class, and why should I

20

rule on that before I've heard the evidence?

21

11:26:30

I do not believe I have, Your Honor.

13

15

11:26:15

The question is:

MS. IAFRATE:

Are folks involved in

11:26:56

That's exactly the point, Your Honor.

case?

MS. IAFRATE:

I do not, Your Honor, because I want

that to be addressed in the case that's more fully set forth in

Judge Campbell's court next door.

THE COURT:

Well, you can make whatever motions you

want to make, but in the meantime you need to provide that

discovery.

8
9

11:27:16

Anything else?

MS. IAFRATE:

Your Honor, the reason that I did not

provide that previously, first of all, this issue needed to be

10

presented.

We did not file a reply and then the stay was put

11

in place.

So that's the reason that we have not provided it to

12

the plaintiffs.

13

11:27:31

I can tell you that during the time where I believed

14

that there was a full stay in place we continued to gather

15

documents and prepare them to be processed, so they will be

16

processed expeditiously.

17

THE COURT:

18

Mr. Jirauch?

19

MR. JIRAUCH:

20

THE COURT:

21

MR. JIRAUCH:

11:27:48

Thank you.

Your Honor, I can --

Can I get you to a microphone, please?

11:27:57

Your Honor, I'm hesitant to begin

22

talking about the record in this case since there's a very

23

little part of it that I'm intimately familiar with.

24

look at Your Honor's order with respect to the class

25

definition, and it was -- it was entered pursuant to Rule

But I did

RE 774

CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 26

23(b)(2), which is related only to injunctive and declaratory

relief, not damages.

What clearly is happening --

THE COURT:

Well, I think that there is a point there,

which was what I was just about to ask Mr. Young, and which is

why I'm reluctant to rule now to determine one way or another,

and that is simply this.

8
9

It seems to me that your client is in contempt -- he's


already admitted he's in contempt; there were all kinds of

10

enforcement operations -- and people are entitled to

11

compensation as a result of contempt, they're not entitled to

12

damages as a result of contemptuous behavior.

13

to me that I have to decide what's the difference between

14

compensation because your client violated their constitutional

15

rights and damages because your clients violated their

16

constitutional rights.

17

11:28:44

And so it seems

11:29:06

I'm not sure, for the reasons I've just said to

18

Ms. Iafrate and to you, I have to make that determination right

19

now.

20

are relevant, at least for purposes of discovery, and that's

21

why I've ordered Ms. Iafrate to disclose them.

But I am pretty sure that the identities of those folks

22

Do you understand what I'm getting at?

23

MR. JIRAUCH:

24
25

11:28:28

11:29:21

Yes, Your Honor, I fully understand.

Could I make one correction?

I believe Your Honor said that my

Oh, you're right; you're Maricopa County.


And so I don't want to, by my silence --

Well, let me just say --- suggest --

You know, we'll -Not that I would have objection to that,

but it's -THE COURT:

11:29:45

I'm sorry.

I understand that you are

Maricopa County.

13

MR. JIRAUCH:

14

THE COURT:

Yes, Your Honor.

But it seems to me that Maricopa County

15

requested the Ninth Circuit to reconsider its ruling and it

16

didn't do it, so you're on the hook for whatever Sheriff Arpaio

17

may have done that's wrong.

18

Do you contest that?

19

MR. JIRAUCH:

20
21
22
23

11:29:45

11:29:51

We may, Your Honor, but at this point

I'm certainly not prepared to argue that issue.


THE COURT:

11:30:02

And if you're going to contest that, where

are you going to contest it, the United States Supreme Court?
MR. JIRAUCH:

I don't know the answer to that at this

24

point, Your Honor, but that's certainly an issue that will be

25

considered.

CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 28

THE COURT:

All right.

But it's my understanding, and

you can correct me if I'm wrong, that the mandate did issue by

the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

MR. JIRAUCH:

THE COURT:

It did.

And so I'm bound by what -- the

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

MR. JIRAUCH:

THE COURT:

MR. JIRAUCH:

10

THE COURT:

11:30:23

I agree with that.

All right.

Thank you.

You're welcome, Your Honor.

Mr. Young, I don't know if you were going

11

to argue this or Mr. Bendor was, but here's my question.

12

mean, I'm not sure that, for reasons I've already said, that I

13

have to rule one way or another on this issue at this point.

14

But I will tell you that when it gets down to it, it seems to

15

me that the case law requires me to differentiate between

16

compensation and damages when I'm talking about -- when I'm

17

dealing with the results of a civil contempt.

18

Do you understand where I'm coming from?

19

MR. YOUNG:

11:30:45

Your Honor, Rule 71 of the Federal Rules

20

of Civil Procedure does give this Court the power and does give

21

people who were injured by the violation of the injunction the

22

ability to compensate for and deal with the consequences of

23

that violation.

24
25

11:30:31

11:30:58

And as to Your Honor's question, I don't think you


need to rule anything now at this point about the class

definition.

ruled on, the class definition says what it says, and as long

as Your Honor has ruled on the discovery issue, that's really

the only thing that needs to be ruled on at this point.

I understand it, Your Honor has ruled that the discovery on the

workplace raid people, and we're going to talk about other

issues that go outside the narrow group of people that the

plaintiffs want -- that the defendants want to produce evidence

on, as long as those discovery issues are resolved, I think the

That was done a long time ago, it's already been

10

issues of compensation remain to be determined after the

11

further hearing that Your Honor is going to set.

12

THE COURT:

All right.

Thank you.

And as

11:31:50

I have ruled on

13

the discovery issue, and as I understand what Ms. Iafrate told

14

me, she has compiled and collected those documents and is ready

15

to provide them, now that I've lifted the stay.

11:32:08

16

Mr. Jirauch.

Can you grab a microphone, please?

17

MR. JIRAUCH:

I'd like to say something very quickly.

18

THE COURT:

19

MR. JIRAUCH:

Sure.
I do want to respond to the argument

20

with respect to Rule 71.

21

that allows the Court to enter.

THE COURT:

Weren't they transported in a motor

motor vehicle?

MR. JIRAUCH:

Your Honor, we've presented our

14

arguments why we believe that the definition that you've just

15

cited doesn't cover people under these circumstances where the

16

evidence will show that the only reason that they were

17

transported is that they were instructed by ICE to do so on the

18

basis of their reviewing the federal database, with one

19

exception.

20
21

11:33:01

And that doesn't fall within --

Have you had a chance to undertake 540- -- their


self-evaluation of 543 at this point?

CHIEF WARSHAW:

We have taken a look at 543, Your

Honor.

we've not made any inquiry of the MCSO regarding people with

MR. SEGURA:

THE COURT:

Yes, Your Honor.

11:38:48

With respect to the third object of the

22

plaintiffs' class, it had to do with, I believe, internal

23

investigations that involved racial discrimination, and you'd

24

objected to the overbreadth.

25

is on that.

Let me tell you what my concern


11:39:11

RE 784

(845 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-4, Page 252 of 305
CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 36

I agree that it's overbroad to the extent it might

apply to races other than those involved in the plaintiff

class: Latino, Hispanic, and otherwise.

you suggest that the plaintiffs are only entitled to 2014

forward, I disagree, because one of the purposes of this

hearing is to figure out what appropriate remedial action is

appropriate in light of all of the material that existed that

was not provided to the plaintiff class prior to the underlying

lawsuit.

10

But to the extent that

11:39:25

And if in fact that material suggests, as I think much

11

of it does, that there was a lack in internal investigation,

12

discipline, and complaint, one of the things I'm going to have

13

to do is figure out what remedial action is.

14

me that to the extent that you have complaints involving

15

discrimination of members of the plaintiff class from 2008

16

forward, that is relevant to that consideration.

11:39:40

And it seems to

17

So I'll allow you to address that, Ms. Iafrate.

18

MS. IAFRATE:

11:39:58

Well, Your Honor, the overbreadth also

19

deals with the type of complaint.

20

detention file grievances and --

So, for example, people in


11:40:19

21

THE COURT:

You mean like in jail?

22

MS. IAFRATE:

23

THE COURT:

24

Do you want to narrow that any, Mr. Segura?

25

MR. JIRAUCH:

Yes.

Holding in jail?

I'm sorry.

Your Honor?

2

MR. SEGURA:

Yes, we're -- we're agreeable to that, to

misconduct that occurs within the jails.

One concern that we do have is that we do know that

detention officers have also participated in patrol activities,

so as long as that, those investigations would also be

encompassed, that we would be amenable to excluding any

investigation of misconduct occurring solely within an MCSO

jail.

THE COURT:

10
11

11:40:43

Does that help?

MS. IAFRATE:

It helps, but I have a little bit

11:41:00

further --

12

THE COURT:

13

MS. IAFRATE:

14

THE COURT:

15

MS. IAFRATE:

Okay.
-- Your Honor.

Well, we'll take them one at a time.


That's fine.

Your Honor, the rationale

16

behind my objection dealt with the mandate that -- well, the

17

potential mandate that has now been issued regarding tailoring

18

things narrowly to address the constitutional violations.

19

11:41:05

The way that I read the request, it was overbroad

20

dealing not only with the Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment, not

21

just the Hispanic race, and not just as it relates to traffic

22

enforcement, but the fact that they were doing a catch-all to

23

try to -- not try, that could potentially allow all IAs to be

24

reviewed, which I do not think satisfies the mandate of the

25

Court.

11:41:22

11:41:44

RE 786

(847 of 1100)

CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 38

And in fact, the reason that I suggested that it start

at 2014 was because that was the time when Your Honor -- I know

that you don't like the word "expanded" -- but expanded the

monitor's abilities and powers to deal with IAs, which was

never part of this litigation or the OSC.

an issue in this Court's eyes in 2014.

pursuant to the narrow mandate that has been issued, I would

argue that this exceeds the authority of this Court.

THE COURT:

It started becoming

And so that's why,

Well, I'd just point out -- to the extent

10

I understand what you just said, and I want to clarify it --

11

that in 2014 that expanded mandate, if that's what you want to

12

call it, was issued with your full cooperation and opportunity

13

for input.

14

time, you did or didn't make, but you'll recall that I put

MS. IAFRATE:

Yes, Your Honor, if I may just make one

more point.

11

One of the reasons, or rationales that you provided was that

12

the mandate had not yet issued.

13

11:43:43

In 2014 I did object regarding this expansion.

THE COURT:

11:43:55

the agenda that I didn't put on the order because the mandate

15

had only issued the day before --

MS. IAFRATE:

THE COURT:

Right.

-- I'll allow both parties to suggest what

is appropriate -- an appropriate revision to the supplemental

allow the plaintiffs to do the same.

But it certainly seems to me that because the

plaintiffs filed their lawsuit in 2007 and the request is only

from information from 2008 forward, and I've just limited it to

members of the Hispanic or Latino culture or race, I've just

taken away your objection, have I not?

MS. IAFRATE:

11:44:59

Well, Your Honor, I guess that as I'm

standing up here and we're changing ever so slightly -- to my

benefit, I understand -- the discovery request, I would ask

10

that either in your order regarding the status conference or

We would take and copy them at the FBI office and then

we would examine those documents in Washington.

The other thing, Your Honor, that we discussed

I have the concern that

It seems to me like you're subject to

It also seems to me, and I don't want to be

precipitous on this, but some of the documents that have since

might be a witness in this action, and so I'm a little

concerned to grant your admission pro hac vice without at least

you not release documents until such time as you make a ruling

Constitution statutes, that the portion of the county

11

the county manager, and employees working under their direct

THE COURT:

All right.

So how does that result in

differences in terms of issues that are presented by this

contempt hearing?

MR. WALKER:

Well, I think, Your Honor, our position

is that the County was not and is not in a position to control

or to have any direct effect on the decisions that are within

the province of constitutional officers under the constitution

and the statutes, and that includes the sheriff.

Now, I read the Ninth Circuit decision as essentially

10

saying -- ordering that the County be added as a party, but

11

then saying:

12

sheriff.

13

the sheriff, you don't need the County.

Well, I think the reverse is also true:

THE COURT:

If you have

And I think the -- the

Well, that certainly seems to run contrary

to the court of appeals decision out of the Arizona Court of

Appeals, doesn't it, that was cited by the Ninth Circuit?


MR. WALKER:

quite a bit of authority to the contrary under -- in the

20

Arizona court system.


THE COURT:

12:06:23

Even if what you say is true, Mr. Walker,

22

and it may be, do I have any authority to do anything different

once a mandate has been issued by the Ninth Circuit?

24
25

MR. WALKER:

12:06:05

Well, I think the -- there actually is

21

12:05:44

If you have the County, you don't need the

particularly given that the plaintiffs earlier in this

proceeding stipulated that the County is not a necessary party

for full and complete relief, that I don't see that the Court

would be precluded from concluding that with the sheriff in

this proceeding, the County is not a necessary party and

dismissing us out.

THE COURT:

the terms of the contract, if a new contract was not

THE COURT:

I'm

Before you go to the second point, I have

looked at that first contract before back when it was in force.

THE COURT:

12

MR. YOUNG:

Plaintiffs have not been involved very

much, if at all, in this process.

settlement of large and substantial portions of that lawsuit,

12

and the reason why I ask is twofold:

reschedule, at a time that will be convenient for everybody,

14

the resumption of this contempt hearing.

15

of rescheduling it, of course, on top of when the defendants

16

may have to be in Judge Silver's court; nor do I have any

17

intention of rescheduling it until I'm sure that all the

18

documents and other matters have been provided so that we can

do this once and be done with it; nor do I have any intention

of putting this off very long.

One, the County has authorized settlement, according

duplicate compliance.

understand why the County would act that way.

I get that.

I appreciate it.

However, I am wondering if the County has been fully

advised that one of the positions Mr. Popolizio and

Mr. Masterson is taking is that if in fact this Court is

removed by the Ninth Circuit from presiding over this case, the

supplemental permanent injunction and the findings of fact and

conclusions of law I made three years ago should be vacated, in

10

which case there would be no injunctive relief on which the

11

County or the plaintiffs could rely.

12

12:14:43

12:15:06

Now, obviously, I don't think that's going to happen,

13

but I'm not the Ninth Circuit, and I haven't suggested the

14

action is brought by Mr. Popolizio in bad faith.

15

if the County has been fully advised, if the plaintiffs in

16

United States versus Arpaio have been fully advised, that the

17

movants are taking the position not only that I should be

18

removed from presiding over the contempt hearing, but that the

19

injunctive relief and the findings of fact and conclusions of

20

law I entered years ago should be vacated.

21

has been so advised?

23

MR. WALKER:

25

12:15:19

12:15:45

Are you aware whether the County Board of Supervisors

Yes, I think the Board of Supervisors is

aware, and I think I can clarify this to some extent.

12:16:22

Now, Judge Silver issued a motion for summary judgment

which we understand to reflect a conclusion that this Court's

rulings with respect to alleged discriminatory activity in

connection with traffic stops conducted in the context of

immigration enforcement, that that -- that ruling is binding in

And so if in theory not only

was I removed from this case, but the Ninth Circuit took the

unusual step of vacating a case they've already affirmed on

appeal, that case would be subject to retrial, then, in the

United States -- or those issues would be subject to retrial in

United States versus Arpaio as well as in the plaintiffs'

lawsuit here?

MR. WALKER:

Well, let me put it this way.

12:18:20

The

10

settlements that Your Honor has been reading about in the paper

11

don't touch that issue.

How long is trial going to take?

MR. MASTERSON:

Well, Judge, we settled, probably,

regardless of how the final issues work out, we probably got

rid of a good 75 percent of the issues by settlement agreement.

I cannot tell the Court at this point how many days

the remainder may take, because frankly, I do not know at this

point what the United States intends to present in the event we

go forward.

10

The trial was initially set for 15 days.

That was for

all issues.

I'm not sure the United States knows what they intend to

18

present in the event we have to go forward.

19

at this point is focusing on how can we resolve the issues

20

before we have to head down there?


All right.

I think everyone

21

THE COURT:

22

Did you want to be heard on this at all, Mr. Young?

23

MR. YOUNG:

No, Your Honor.

24

THE COURT:

All right.

25

12:19:50

12:20:50

Thank you.

It does seem to me that it's

fairly likely that the August matter will go away

RE 814

Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-4, Page 282 of 305
CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 66

substantially, if not completely, and whatever happens to this

case after whatever the Ninth Circuit may or may not do, I

intend to move it forward.

As I said, I don't intend to move it so forward so

quickly, Mr. Masterson, Mr. Popolizio, Ms. Iafrate, that your

writ of mandamus can't at least be heard by them.

intend to move it forward, because, for reasons that everybody

appreciates, we need to move forward, and we need to correct

anything that's problematic and resolve this case.

10

But I do

I'm sure

that all parties agree.

11

12:21:37

As I raised with Ms. Iafrate earlier, the Ninth

12

Circuit mandate does require at least slight revision to the

13

supplemental permanent injunction, so I'd invite all parties,

14

if they want to put forward suggested language, to do so prior

15

to our next status conference.

12:21:54

I'm going to set the next status conference for Friday

That will probably be in a different

I'm not sure, Mr. Klayman, if your motion for

23

admission pro hac vice will be fully briefed at that point.

If

24

it is, we'll hear that then; if it's not, we'll hear it at the

that you will be ready.

But we will try and let you know well in advance so

As for rescheduling the ultimate hearing on this

matter, I am holding September 22nd through September 25th and

September 29th through October 2nd, and I invite you all to

clear your calenders.

12:22:48

But I will say that if for some reason I believe that

we don't have full disclosure of documents, that there are

other documents that existed that may have been destroyed or

10

otherwise dealt with, I'm going to take whatever time is

11

necessary to make sure that we have our arms around everything,

12

that we have the interviews and evaluations done, so that we

13

can then move forward, have the hearing, and proceed to

14

whatever relief may be merited.

15
16
17
18

12:23:04

Is there anything else that needs to be addressed by


the parties?
MR. YOUNG:

Your Honor, we have one issue we would

like to raise.

19

THE COURT:

All right.

20

MR. YOUNG:

This relates to the documents that were

12:23:33

21

ordered released publicly by the Court recently relating to the

22

so-called Seattle investigation in which it seems apparent that

23

members of the MCSO were attempting to obtain information.

24
25

12:23:21

As has been discussed, that information that they did


obtain was junk, but from what we understand, the investigation

12:23:56

RE 816

(877 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-4, Page 284 of 305
CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 68

has not been terminated, and we don't know whether the MCSO

people are still seeking information through whatever means

they might happen to identify.

It appears from the documents that the information

that they trying to obtain, or thought they were obtaining or

might have been obtaining, included at least in part

communications, or information about communications, of

plaintiffs' counsel.

there was, as late as April of this year, just prior to the

There were references to telephone calls;

10

previous hearing on this contempt issue, communications urging

11

that the efforts continue, and that genuine and usable

12

information be obtained.

13

We are somewhat concerned about that, obviously.

12:24:37

We

14

think it would be improper for the MCSO to continue to obtain

15

information through extrajudicial means that it would then use

16

in the context of this lawsuit.

17

about parties seeking each other's -- information about each

18

other's electronic communications, and we would like some

19

assurance that that will not continue, that those efforts will

20

have ceased.

21

12:24:16

12:24:54

Obviously, there are issues

12:25:16

So I throw that open for the Court.

I have raised it

22

with counsel for the sheriff, and I don't know what the

23

response is going to be.

24

THE COURT:

Ms. Iafrate.

25

MS. IAFRATE:

Your Honor, Mr. Young addressed this

12:25:33

RE 817

(878 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-4, Page 285 of 305

issue with me out in the hallway right before we walked in, so

this is a new issue that I heard about this morning.

I disagree with his characterizations of what did or

did not happen during that investigation.

yourself, Your Honor, said the whole story has not yet been

told.

did not do, or what they requested, I completely disagree with

the statements that were just made.

And in fact, you


12:25:53

So regarding the characterizations of what MCSO did or

Regarding any sort of insurance -- assurance, I would

10

ask that I be provided with either a discovery request or at

11

least a letter in writing, and then I can address it with the

12

other side.

13

THE COURT:

Well, I understand that, and I do agree

14

that the whole story's not been told.

15

to tell that story.

16

opportunity to do.

17

12:26:09

I've invited you to --

I intend to provide you the full

12:26:25

It does seem to me that to the extent Mr. Young is

18

asking for the assurance that your client is not attempting to

19

survey his communications with his client, that's not an

20

inappropriate request.

21

MS. IAFRATE:

12:26:48

I never said that it was, Your Honor,

22

and in fact, out in the hallway I said that it wouldn't be

23

pertinent for me to respond to that, because it was never

24

raised with me, and so I merely asked that I be provided with

25

it in writing so that we can respond to it appropriately.

THE COURT:

All right.

If you'll provide that request

in writing, Mr. Young.

MR. YOUNG:

We will do that, Your Honor.

THE COURT:

All right.

And if I need to further

address the matter, I will do so.

MR. YOUNG:

Thank you very much.

THE COURT:

Anything else?

Mr. Masterson.

MR. MASTERSON:

10

12:27:15

Thank you, Judge.

This is my first time appearing down here in this

12:27:23

11

case -- at least at counsel table, I've been here previously --

12

and I think I have everyone sorted out fairly well, including

13

Mr. Gomez from the Department of Justice.

14

on the phone from the United States Attorney's Office and I

15

don't know the connection of that person to this case, or even

16

which office they're appearing from.

17

THE COURT:

But there's someone

Ms. Kimmins, whose appearance I heard, and

18

Ms. O'Gara, are from the Tucson office of the United States

19

attorneys for Arizona.

20

12:27:38

As I invited your clients to have criminal

12:28:00

21

representation if they wished to do so, because it is possible

22

that -- it is at least conceivable that I'll make a referral

23

for criminal contempt, which is why I've allowed, for example,

24

Mr. Stein, your partner, and others to be here in that special

25

capacity, at the same time I invited the United States

12:28:23

RE 819

(880 of 1100)
Case: 15-16440, 10/23/2015, ID: 9731587, DktEntry: 13-4, Page 287 of 305
CV07-2513, Melendres v. Arpaio, 7/20/15 Status Conference 71

Attorney's Office to be here because they would be the people

to whom I would have to refer such a criminal contempt

proceeding.

I think for the most part they've declined that

activity.

recusal order I invited them to see if we could negotiate a

global conclusion to this before the hearing.

to engage in sort of pre-referral negotiations to see if we

could resolve any criminal contempt with your clients prior to

10

undergoing any contempt hearing, and they declined to do that.

11

But they still have the right as a member of the public to be

12

here, just as your clients have been given the additional right

13

to have criminal representation represent their interests in

14

this civil proceeding.

As I've set forth, and I think as you know, in my

THE COURT:

17

MR. MASTERSON:

I invited them

I understand.

Thank you, Judge.

12:29:13

Um-hum.
One last question.

I caught the

September 22 to 25 dates you want us to keep open, but I did

19

not catch the October dates.

20

THE COURT:

That would be September 29 through October

12:29:23

2nd.

22

MR. MASTERSON:

23

MR. YOUNG:

24

With respect to those dates, in order for us to do

25

12:28:55

That's who they are.

18

21

12:28:38

Your Honor, one more issue.

those, we'll need the documents that are supposed to be

produced, and I wonder whether we could address the time line

for that.

Ms. Wang did send a letter to Ms. Iafrate on July 9

listing a number of things that have not yet been produced that

should have been produced, in our view, some time ago.

not had a response to that yet, and I wonder whether we could

try to implement some sort of schedule that would allow us to

have the hearing on those September dates.

THE COURT:

Why don't I suggest this?

We have

I had

10

previously set weekly status conferences to make that possible

11

in the interim between the two hearings.

12

regular status conferences now to accomplish that same purpose:

13

to make sure that the documents are provided, or if they're

14

not, to take the action necessary to get them provided, and, if

15

necessary, to reschedule the hearing to make sure that we have

16

everything available.

17

12:29:51

12:30:05

I intend to hold

12:30:27

Why don't I suggest that you get with Ms. Iafrate and

18

see if you can come up with hard dates and propose them to me

19

next Friday, a schedule.

20

what you don't have and why you need it, and I will set dates

21

next Friday myself if you can't arrive at them.

And if you can't, then you tell me

22

MR. YOUNG:

Thank you, Your Honor.

23

THE COURT:

Anything else?

Did you determine who gave that

CHIEF WARSHAW:

We attempted to, and the answer we

received was that would be an attorney-client matter.

THE COURT:

CHIEF WARSHAW:

15:09:33

All right.
With the full belief that this matter

is at the heart of the issue before the Court and our

determination to at least see these documents, I instructed one

10

of our two deputy monitors, Commander Girvin, last night to

11

make an attempt to reach out to senior executives of the MCSO

12

for the simple purpose of making arrangements to see if we

13

could see these IDs.

14

15:09:52

Commander Girvin attempted to call both telephonically

15

and by text message Captain Steven Bailey, the commanding

16

officer of the Professional Standards Bureau, as well as Chief

17

Deputy Sheridan, but with no luck.

18

15:10:09

Further, at my instruction, and after a reasonable

19

passage of time, Commander Girvin reached out to Captain Russ

20

Skinner, who's the commander of the agency's court compliance

21

implementation division, and he is the official contact of the

22

MCSO for -- the contact for us.

23

Captain Skinner was very cooperative and he attempted

24

to reach Captain Bailey, Chief Deputy Sheridan, and he reported

At that point, knowing full well that we very much

wanted to see these documents but were not getting cooperation

with the lack of response, I initiated an e-mail to every

attorney involved in this case advising that I might very well

ask for an emergency hearing for the purposes of getting relief

from the Court so we could in fact access those documents.

these particular documents were slated for destruction, and had

this matter not come to our attention and had we not made the

kind of inquiry that we made, these items in fact would have

been destroyed.

THE COURT:

When you talk about the 50 hard drives

15:18:24

related to the Montgomery investigation, where did you find out

about those?

CHIEF WARSHAW:

As a result of document requests that

were made of the MCSO, after the initial release of the single

10

hard drive we got on April 27th, it became apparent, in looking

11

at various e-mail streams, that there were references to

12

hard drives that were reposited in the Property Unit.

CHIEF WARSHAW:

We request any and all.

Yes, we

certainly today requested that today, yes, sir.

20

THE COURT:

And you talked about a specific DR number.

21

Is that a locker?

CHIEF WARSHAW:

15:19:17

What is that?

The DR number would be -- a DR

number is the department report number, so it would be a filing
