Defendants, Dr. Orly Taitz and Defend Our Freedoms Foundation (DOFF),
Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration of the June 4,2010 order to sever and
transfer this case to Texas and California due to errors in the order caused by

the events beginning roughly April 2009 to present. This in tum has caused the
confusion which resulted in the Court's order of June 4, 2010 ordering the case to
do not seek a transfer to a district court in California and have made this clear
numerous times in writing to this Court as well as the Third Circuit Court of
Appeals but Defendants do request the case be dismissed for lack of federal

various theories too numerous to dwell upon here but reflected in the record. The
Page 2 of 11
Case 2:09-cv-01898-ER Document 121 Filed 06/14/10 Page 3 of 46
main and perhaps only viable Plaintiff suing Defendants is Lisa Liberi who
purports that she was defamed when in April 2009 defendant published her
criminal record from CA, as a warning to the public, since she had convictions of
forgery and grand theft, and was preparing court docwnents and sending them via
e-mail and mail to attorney Berg, who filed those docwnents with this very district.
Berg and Liberi were also doing donation drives. Taitz has posted this official
record with a proper intend to warn the public, particularly since one of the cases
dealt with vital records of the President of the United States Barack Obama. Taitz
wasned the public that there was a need to see the originals in light ofLiberi's
criminal convictions of forgery. While there is more than one Lisa Liberi in the
country, Taitz has done her due diligence and interviewed Liberi's arresting
officer, prosecuting attorney, probation officer, victims of her crimes and verified
that indeed Liberi, who was convicted in San Bernardino county CA in 2008 and
preparing papers for Berg. Her probation allows her to stay with her relatives in
Santa Fe New Mexico, but she was not resident ofPA and was not allowed to
the state prison in CA, Liberi and Berg have concucted their frivolous and
fraudulent legal action, they both provided perjured affidavits, where they claimed
Page 3 of 12
that Liberi is a citizen of PA and the only proof of that was Berg's submission of
his own business address as an address ofLiberi. Based on perjury and fraud they
diversity. Taitz provided this court previously and providing again official
conviction records from CA, clearly showing her to be under the jurisdiction of the
state of CA and allowed only to NM, not PA. this clearly shows that the whole law
suit was a farce, a fraud perpetrated upon this court and upon the defendants. It was
filed with the only purpose to harass the defendents with the need to respond to
thousands of pages of pleadings unrelated to the dispute and the case being filed in
an out of state jurisdiction, where Taitz is not licensed, does not have access to
electronic filing and has difficulty following the case and responding. Due to the
fact that there was no diversity to begin with, Defendants motioned the court to
dismiss the case due to lack ofjurisdiction. Berg clearly knew that Liberi does not
reside in PA, he knowingly and maliciously concocted a case based on his own and
Liberi's perjury and with intend to harass. Due to that fact Defendants motioned
the court to dismiss with prejudice and to sanction Berg for violation of attorney's
code of ethics, abuse of process and fuing a frivolous action with intend to harass.
In the event this court is not willing to dismiss with prejudice, in the alternative
Defendants are seeking dismissal without prejudice. Since Plaintiffs are opposed to
transfer and Defendants are opposed to trsansfer, the case does not follow into the
Page 4 of 11
category of cases that can be transferred, it was fIled in improper jurisdiction and
As noted by the Court in the June 4, 2010 order, jurisdiction really did not
exist in this case owing to the presence of New Jersey parties. The removal of
these parties from the case was accomplished via judicial intervention which

obtain an injunction but even this setback did not stop the blizzard of paper though
the Court suspended the case during part of the pendency of the now dismissed
appeal.
Plaintiffs continued to fIle materials with the Court even though the case was
suspended and Defendant in tum answered lest the Plaintiffs then contend, as they
have in the past, that these fIlings and their irrelevant and prejudicial contents were
and many irrelevant and prejudicial materials have been permitted to propagate by
the Court and these materials should be stricken before any transfer.
The Court did not docket any of the Defendants' letters but did docket
Page 5 of 11
the January 21, 2010 letter by Plaintiff and attorney Berg which was
response to the Berg letter was not docketed. In the undocketed letters by
ex parte attempt by Plaintiffs to intluence the Court and mailed just a few days
before the Court's June 4, 2010 order, Defendants have repeatedly stated they
oppose any transfer while Plaintiffs in their letter have demanded a transfer to
California.
DEFENDANTS
for the following reasons. First, the Court has mischaracterized the order as
Court. The Court must have been cognizant of the Defendants' communications
because it docketed one letter from Berg along with its so called exhibits.
Page 6 of 11
this case which Defendants have replied to. There are multiple defendants and
The Court has also failed to take in consideration that Plaintiff Liberi is
California due to her felony probation there, something she has not refuted
California, diversity jurisdiction does not exist and this case must be dismissed as
address of her attorney Philip Berg, used as her address on her pleadings,
Defendants have disputed this address. This is therefore a disputed fact, discovery
and an evidentiary hearing should be had upon this as Liberi and not the other
Plaintiffs is the main party complaining against Defendants. The whole essence of
the case revolves around Liberi's address, as over a year ago in the beginning of
April 2009 Taitz has disclosed on her web site the fact that assistant of attorney
and grand theft, and therefore there is a need to investigate the documents
submitted by Berg and Liberi to court. Berg and Liberi were conducting a Nation
wide donations drive to support their legal work in exposing originally president
Bush and later Obama. Members of the public demanded answers from Berg, and
Berg has filed this frivolous law suit claiming that Liberi is a resident of PA,
Page 7 of 11
Case 2:09-cv-01898-ER Document 121 Filed 06/14/10 Page 8 of 46
in order to defraud this court and in order to defraud the public and continue
perjury. Both Liberi and Berg knew that the court printout of Liberi's conviction
in CA is true and correct, that she is indeed Lisa Liberi, who was a convicted
forger and thief. This makes the case not only frivolous on it's face, but also
actions were clearly sanction able, as he was defrauding the court and fuing a legal
action with the only purpose of harassment of the Defendants and aiding and
abetting perjury by his client. See attached exhibit Declaration made by Liberi in
therefore if she wants to file a legal action, her proper jurisdiction will be state
court in CA.
Defendants also contend the case will be so cluttered and confused that
Plaintiffs have abused the court process or at the very least without prejudice.
USC 1404. The transfer of this case in its present state will result in injustice and
Page 8 of 11
citizenship is a factual dispute, which the Court has failed to address except to note
Liberi's alleged address on the pleadings, address that was provided by the
The Court's order of June 4,2010 should not apply as to Defendants and be
1. Plaintiff Lisa Liberi has not demonstrated she is a citizen of Pennsylvania and
has in fact along with her attorney Berg affmnatively misled the Court in this
respect.
4. The so called voluntary dismissal of New Jersey defendants was not voluntary

case should have been dismissed at the point and may still be dismissed nunc pro
tunc.
inappropriate and give the appearance of having influenced the Court's June 4,
Page 9 of 11
2010 order in that the June 4 order mirrors the Plaintiffs most recent letter to the
Court.
7. The Court has made references to sanctions against Defendant Taitz in an out of
district court but has refused to take cognizance on the record of multiple sanctions
against Plaintiff Berg, at least one of those instances ordered in this very judicial
district. Sanctions against the defendant had nothing to do with this case or any of
the parties in this case. Sanctions had to do with political matter of the defendant
in chief. On the other hand sanctions against Attorney Berg, that were presented to
this court showed similar modus operandi, as exhibited in this very case: namely
fuing a frivolous law suit with the purpose of harassing the defendants. Other
sanctions dealt with the fact that attorney Berg was not truthful with the court, also
represents the same modus operandi, as exhibited in this court. It is not clear why
this court has chosen to conspicuously address one instance of sanctions against
the defendant, where this order of sanctions is not fmal and is being currently
which has absolutely nothing to do with the dispute in this case; while at the same
time this court has chosen to completely ignore multiple pleadings where the
deferidants have brought to the attention of this court multiple sanctions against the
Plaintiff and attorney in this case Philip Berg. Sanctions against Berg were relevant
Page 10 of 11
Case 2:09-cv-01898-ER Document 121 Filed 06/14/10 Page 11 of 46
as they reflected the same modus of fuing frivolous action, harassment and fraud.
That is an additional reason, why the order is extremely prejudicial against the
Defendants.
8. The case against Defendants should be dismissed with prejudice for the reasons
briefed above.
Therefore the June 4, 2010 order should be held in abeyance until the above issues

enduring from my child's biological father, my father's poor health and to be closer to

14
14. April 01,2003 Michelle D. Strickland filed a motion re Writ of Possession. D.D.A.
15
James Secord made an appearance as a Special Party of Interest I was not present for
16
17
this hearing, however, I was infonned by Ms. Strickland that D.D.A. Secord stated I was
18
under investigation and was required to bring the motion for writ of possession before the
19
Judge who issued the search warrant. This was the first time I heard I was under
20
investigation. Based on the statements ofD.D.A. Secord my motion was denied without
21
prejudice.
22
15. April 10, 2003, Ms. Strickland filed a motion for reconsideration as she detennined the

3
victims of John Allen's crimes, for which Mr. Allen was convicted. Further, Mr. Allen

19
it falls outside the scope of his prosecutorial functions. (A true and correct copy of the

32. I have not been treated fairly by D.D.A. Secord or as all other defendants are treated. It is

2 5. A few months after the arrest in Texas, I secured a job, got married to William Courville
3
and we bought a home together in Texas.

5
California with the company I was working for. I relocated from Texas to California in
6
8
9 7. On January 15,2002 a Search Warrant was served on my property located at 11952
10
Huntley Avenue, Etiwanda, California 91739. At this same time, I was arrested on
11
allegations ofP.C. 470 and P.C. 487, based on San Bernardino County Sheriff's
12
Department Case # 110200477.
13
14 8. My bail was set at $20,000 which was posted on January 15, 2002 and I was released

DECLARA nON OF LISA tiBERI
Case 2:09-cv-01898-ER Document 121 Filed 06/14/10 Page 26 of 46
The reason for the relocation was due to my health complications, harassment I was
1
2 enduring from my child's biological father, my father's poor health and to be closer to
3 my family and assist my sister with her medical and psychiatric conditions. The District
4 Attorney has alleged that I fled California to avoid prosecution without a single shred of
5
evidence to support such an allegation, once again attempting to prejudice the Court
6
against me.
7
12. Upon arrival in New Mexico, my husband, Brent Liberi, immediately obtained ajob with
8
9 Seeds of Change located in Santa Fe. My husband is still with this company and was

14
14. April 01,2003 Michelle D. Strickland filed a motion re Writ of Possession. D.D.A.
15
16 James Secord made an appearance as a Special Party of Interest. I was not present for

18 under investigation and was required to bring the motion for writ of possession before the
19
Judge who issued the search warrant. This was the first time I heard I was under
20
investigation. Based on the statements of D.D.A. Secord my motion was denied without
21
prejudice.
22
15. April 10, 2003, Ms. Strickland filed a motion for reconsideration as she determined the
23
24 statements given by D.D.A. Secord were not accurate. A hearing was set for May 13,

7
confidentiality of that file. I learned of this during my preliminary hearing in Case
