Judge Rash is assigned to my Family Court case, where I am the Petitioner.

While before him,

he made various rulings which he exclusively relied upon a Police Officer, who as I advised him
way lying before the Court. Judge Rash told me, “You expect me to believe you over him…”
Ultimately that specific police officer was terminated from his place of employment solely
because of his fraudulent testimony in our Action. Once this issue was brought to Judge Rash’s
attention with a Motion to dismiss Respondent’s 10 Motions which began this round, he said. “I
was going to rule on this case the same way based on my opinion of this case.” Only problem
with that, is that this was his first interaction on my case where evidence was submitted to him
in the Motion to even make an opinion off of. The Respondent father filed all those motions,
including to Modify custody and child support, and we shared 50-50 parenting time.
That failure to follow simple guidelines of their post makes a judge’s action no longer a Judicial
act but an Individual act as the act represents their own prejudices and goals.
Judge Rash was also relying on an Expert that he appointed or else he would remove our son
from me. The expert currently has 2 criminal DUI and drug charges pending against her, and
she wrote a Report, which he accepted about me, and she did not even interview me or obtain
records she stated she would send for from the pediatrician, Crisis Center, Police and PhD, etc..
I again advised Judge Rash of the concern about her and he indicated he was more frustrated
with me for implying the Expert was not being candid, although the physical evidence clearly
communicated the same message.

I had more than five (5) attorneys listen to the audios of Judge Rash’s disrespectful and
demeaning talk to me, at times screaming. Each of them told me to write a commission of
judicial conduct complaint, none of them would do it on my behalf, with one even saying “I will
lose my career I I do that.” I also have all the physical evidence to support this claim. Multiple
attorneys stated they will not take a case if Judge Rash is the judge on the case.

Ultimately Father-Respondent was attempting to solely remove ‘our’ child from my life.
Purchasing his “justice’ with a judge who does not like females and who has never been a
family law attorney. Respondent knew he and his attorney bankrupted me and thought this was
the best time to pounce. I filed in December of 2008 for divorce from a short two-year marriage
with one child. There are issues regarding Respondent on the record from back then.

However, ultimately a 3rd Expert come on (in this round) and said, “Yeah Father has
issues…we need a safety plan” I have often heard that Judges are NOT impartial to self-
represented parents-pro per (I am no pro at law, even with 10 years of experience, but I am
learning) Attorneys have advised me that Judges do NOT respect self-representing -pro per
parents in this field, as if this is where we want to be…, but the realness is most people earning
$65,000 per year cannot afford $350/hour attorney, it is highly impracticable; especially for
8.9.10 years of divorce and post decree! The costs have been a serious impairment of my
already-strained economic resources.

The Judge’s disregard of all the evidence essentially put our child in the hands of an abuser,
where the evidence has physically supported that our Child was being abused by Father
Respondent, and all I was doing, and not trying to take any parenting time away, was trying to
find a safe place for father and son to be in. I will say the needless protraction of litigation by the
Respondent and his attorney at his lead, could have in part been inspired because the Judge
demonstrated his disdain for me, and him communicating that he was going to disregard
evidence..made the other side smell blood in the air and take very unreasonable positions.

Judge Rash has not been a family law attorney but is somehow the Presiding Judge of the
Family Law Pima Superior Court.

1. Integrity: truthfulness -No

Judge Rash failed to Notice me a party to the case, of the Hearing that was set in less than 5
days and failed to inform of what the hearing was about; at the hearing when he was told no one
“Noticed” me, his response was “well you are here” this demonstrates Lack of Procedure, I
discovered the hearing on the court calendar . 8-10 motions were filed by Respondent’s
attorney. This is the 11 th year of divorce after an 24 month marriage.

Judge Rash would not accept into evidence exhibits proffered to him-on multiple occasions and
in multiple hearings, this prime evidence by the prime witnesses such as the child’s pediatrician
of 9 years, Child Advocacy Center report and recording, police reports and PhD of whom were
all also denied from testifying at any and all the hearings: also Judge Rash would not allow
evidence from Petitioner, he instead stated they “have not done the investigation that the
detective or DCS has” and so he relied on a detective who DCS investigator relied on because
she was on vacation.

The detective who was coached by Respondent’s attorney, ended up being fired after an
internal investigation by the police department for his actions on this case. The judge was
informed of the IA investigation result in a comprehensive Motion to dismiss the volumes of
Motions by Respondent father, he still did not care and continued to harass Petitioner by the
forced use and demand for therapeutic interventions. Judge Rash stated Petitioner was
vexatious, yet it was Respondent who filed the 10 Motions which began this action.

Judge Rash was informed during the hearing that Respondent’s attorney was “coaching” the
detective in the hallway, Judge Rash replied “I don’t care she can do that”

There was an Order of Protection for the child that the police, pediatrician, and DCS urged me
to obtain.
Judge Rash refused pediatrician testimony, refused to take evidence on multiple court hearings
from Petitioner, dismissed the order of protection and upon child pick up by Respondent the
school had to call the police and the child was bruised by the principal who tried to force child to
go with his abuser.
Conduct that promote public confidence in the court-
This pattern of abuse, abuse of discretion by judges is a “complete betrayal of the mission” of
the courts, which are supposed to prioritize the welfare of children.
Temperament/Communication: Judge Rash violently screamed at me on multiple occasions,
you could hear hate in his voice.
Integrity lack of Impartiality:
He has written false rulings and orders without factual basis, failed to follow statutes, policy,
court rules and procedure.
1. Failed to Notice a party to a case of hearing, and what the hearing is regarding
2. Failed to accept evidence which allows him to dictate his outcome
3. Failed to allow testimony
4. Failed to allow Due Process
5. Successful at intimidating and yelling at Petitioner who represents self
6. Community attorneys refuse to take cases if he is the judge
7. Successful at not managing courtroom and calling bailiff to help him and intimidate Petitioner,
which made him look even worse
8. Failed to care that opposing counsel disclosed that she suffers mental health issues
9. Wrote false rulings and false orders
10. Administratively stacked the case with false information
11. Failed to follow his Minute Entry, did the opposite
12. Failed to adhere to Local Rule 8, failed to uphold the parenting plan for Mediation even
when Petitioner offered to use opposing attorney’s personal Psycho therapist
13. Failed to mandate adherence to disclosure rules for only the father Respondent who filed for
child support modification with his attorney and failed to follow procedure to disclose Financial
Affidavit, while mandating Petitioner disclose her financial Affidavit
14. Failed to read pleadings and responses of Petitioner which could have helped him
15. Failed to properly file “Notice to show cause” then at a hearing instructed Petitioner: “you
have 10 minutes to tell me why the court should not hold you in contempt “ at a status
conference hearing.
a. Luckily I had submitted exhibits which could help him learn once again that his favored male
parent who has an attorney, and his favorite court hired evaluator who faces criminal
indictments herself, had once again knowingly lied to him, which is a criminal offense under
A.R.S. §13-2310+2311 with the court accountable as well.
b. This did not stop him from writing another scathing ruling clearly showing his bias and
confusion about this case, stating his diagnosis of “alienation” and an Italian Journal of which he
cited which was also cited with error, which once again proved his lack of training or his willful
heinous intentions.

Judge Rash diagnoses from the bench, doing so under A.R.S §32-3227 unauthorized practice
of the health profession is a class 5 felony, Rule 81 which applies to Judges does not allow
judges to have felonies-and he is dangerous in calling people names and diagnosing, and then
acting on the same displays his lack of candor for the court and inability to do his job without
bias.

Judge Rash in his rulings administratively and very hostile calls Petitioner names and an
alienator, who later when he was told the parents share 50-50 parenting time, he asked the
Respondent’s attorney “then why are we here?” it was because **HE believed her motions and
failed to read Petitioner’s responses, and [he] Granted the hearings.

Judge Rash in his rulings also stated he contemplated incarcerating mother for his diagnosis of
alienation. This is false. There is no reason to do that, or he may have confused his criminal
cases with family –

Knowledge of the law:

He never adjudicated the abuse. He never adjudicated the substance abuse as suggested and
recommended of the male Respondent. Had he done the right thing instead of call Mother
Petitioner names and be so biased and ready to blame without Evidence, the Adverse
Childhood Experiences and trauma would have been lessened.

Knowledge of his profession and official policies:

The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges’ official Policy is to strike any and all
attempts to adjudicate “alienation” as they are not admissible under Daubert and Frye-AND the
American Bar Association Judicial Journal state the same :
“The Presidential Task Force of the American Psychological Association on Violence in the
Family has stated that “there are no data to support the phenomenon called parental alienation
syndrome, in which mothers are blamed for interfering with their children’s attachment to their
fathers. . . .” The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (NCJFCJ) likewise finds
PAS lacking in scientific merit, advising judges that based on evidentiary standards, “the court
should not accept testimony regarding parental alienation syndrome, or ‘PAS.’ The theory
positing the existence of PAS had been discredited by the scientific community”; and “the
discredited ‘diagnosis’ of ‘PAS’ (or allegation of ‘parental alienation’), quite apart from its
scientific invalidity, inappropriately asks the court to assume that the children’s behaviors and
attitudes toward the parent who claims to be ‘alienated’ have no grounding in reality.” The
American Prosecutors’ Research Institute and the National District Attorney’s Association, legal
organizations concerned with the prosecution of child abuse and domestic violence, have also
dismissed PAS.”
Judge Rash as Presiding Judge uses this discredited theory, knowingly, to direct his personal
cause against me, while ignoring the child, indicates his actions are intentional, it shows his bias
and his intent of continuing to perpetrate DV by Proxy and the court is the proxy, he enjoys it.
This is dangerous for children and families to have this man on the bench, it-he is reckless.

Judge Rash failed to hold any Evidentiary hearings before ordering third parties onto the family
with threats to take their children from them if they don’t, without basis only bias.

Judge Rash had a hearing in chambers with the attorneys (I had to use my retirement to pay the
attorney, he was not familiar with family law either and only was on a couple months, and I went
back to representing myself) it has been very costly to get a divorce and do post decree in this
state and with the opposing adversarial toxic attorney being vexatious and Respondent using
the court to perpetrate further control and use it as is his proxy, Judge Rash was another tool he
could use too, and did.

Judge Rash, threatened he would take our child from me if I did not agree to a Limited Family
Assessment, of which no one defined, and by the Respondent’s chosen evaluator, facing
criminal indictments related to the use of drugs and DUI. She fabricated a report after only one
20 minute meeting, no interview, and failed to obtain records she said she would. I had to teach
her about parallel parenting for safety, she was confused and could not concentrate during our
meeting. Ordering and abdicating Judge Rash’s judicial authority to an expensive third party is
not authorized, and there was no Evidentiary hearing to “cause” him to think this was necessary,
and he did not state what this was for. Judge Rash shockingly said “you have been coming here
for 10 years” my response was yes, she likes his money and she (the attorney) had admitted
that she has psychological problems, and the AFCC has directed to remove the adversarial third
party “professional” and that is this attorney. He said we were not there to talk about her-but she
is part of the reason this has gone on so long.

Dr. Joubert’s meeting was recorded, and the transcripts and recording were provided per rule
and statute to Judge Rash and filed a request to remove Dr. Holly Joubert psy D (CR-17-
720410-DU).. He refused stating it was a private issue of hers and Petitioner “did not like what
she had to say”-however, if decisions and recommendations by the psychologist are not based
on adequate data, the psychologist is acting both incompetently and unethically. Dr. Joubert
psyD failed to notice the families of her arrest, and of her co-worker Dr. Scott Padilla from
Sunlight Center for Change also being suspended for sex with client and several other grave
concerns of the Board.

Judge Rash struck pleadings, struck attachments of Petitioner’s which were valid.
Judge Rash screams and yells and throws his arms up, pushes back from the desk and leaves
the bench.

Basic fairness and Impartiality-Judge Rash exhibits very unusually hostile and aggressive
behavior, is not fair and is not impartial.

Upon result of a public request, it was found that Judge Rash as the Presiding of Family bench
has the authority to end the contract with the evaluator for failing in her duty and for being
arrested, and other Evaluator/vendor contract infractions. Her blood alcohol levels and
admission to driving drunk are clear and convincing as are the recordings that she is dangerous
to be involved with families and children and needs to seek help for herself and not be Ordered
onto children and families to cause further trauma, and adverse childhood experiences. Judge
Rash had full knowledge, but he failed to act to protect the children and our community.

Judge Rash would write in minute entries or rulings that assignments of therapist is in abeyance
for two months, then turn around and order the next week a therapist that the Respondent father
requested for cash only.

In court, I asked DCS investigator a question, judge Rash would not allow her to answer, they
were relevant and important:

DCS investigator:"we made

recommendations to the Father; and -- and as a
professional opinion and a social worker investigator, we
believe that several of those issues can be resolved with
good communication and a good -- maybe a few adjustments
as to parenting.
Q Okay. So what kind of recommendations were made
to Father?
A Well, we had --
THE COURT: Those aren't relevant at this time.
Any other questions? Your other question was
good.
____________________________________________________
I objected to dismissing the Order of Protection, the Judge did not allow testimony of the child's
pediatrician who called from Puerto Rico and was on hold the whole time:
"Based upon the testimony the Court has heard
today, I'm going to dismiss the order of protection.

[this resulted in Police being called by the Police the same day after court when Respondent
picked him up]

MS. CCCCCC: Objection, sir.

THE COURT: “You can object all you want, ma'am, but I don't care.”

MS. CCCCCC: Okay. Can you give us some orders that will -- what am I to do when XXXXXX
will not go?
THE COURT: Well, that's a different issue and I can't get to that today.
MS. CCCC: Because he is refusing to go.

[child was threatened by Respondent that he was going to kill him, was choked, suffocated and
physically hurt, child was scared and judge Rash did not CARE!, would not allow testimony of
expert witness or evidence -it was unbelievable]

*and the worst abusive offenders invoke the discredited Parental Alienation theory when caught
and file for custody, attorneys get training on how to litigate this to protect their abusive clients*

THE COURT: Ma'am, not now.

The order of protection is dismissed. The Court
does not have sufficient information to enter any orders
regarding the temporary request for sole custody and legal
decision-making as filed by the Respondent as of today's
date.
The Court will need to continue the balance and
remainder of all the motions to another date. At that
time, the Court will hopefully have received at least some of the DCS records and have the child
interview completed.
The Court will also consider then whether a therapist needs to be appointed for the child and
how that
will be paid for.

MS. CCCCCC: Sir, it's my understanding that when it's court-appointed, they can't use
insurance. Beth
Winters and Winder both said that already.

THE COURT: Well, I'm not going to take that up today. If they can't, I'll deal with it at the next
hearing.
MS. CCCCCCC: Ms. Attorney was agreeable to using Blue Cross/Blue Shield in 2014 and '15.
***the Judge appointed a therapist the one Ms. Attorney wanted to hire for cash, no use of
insurance and without a hearing the Judge stated would occur, and without hearing testimony of
Petitioner’s witnesses or taking exculpatory evidence or any evidence; this harmed the child and
myself
______________________________________________________

THE COURT: Okay. And you're still planning on calling the pediatrician; correct?
MS. CCCCCC: Yes. I think that her testimony would have been really needed today so that the
order of
protection would stand.
_________________________________________________
MS. CCCCCC: Can we have a hearing on the order of protection so that I can get all the
evidence on file
as well? Because she did this in an end-runaround way with doing a temporary order hearing.
THE COURT: Well --
MS. CCCCC: Because I think that it's very important that Dr. S input is heard before you
send this child back over to someone who could be placed in harm's way.

THE COURT: The pediatrician has not done the investigation that DCS has done. I'm willing to
rely on
their testimony today to dissolve or dismiss the order of protection.
[DCS worker testified she was on vacation during the investigation and she relied on the
Detective who was fired for lying on the stand]
[it is dangerous for the judge to set the docket and hear only one party’s witnesses and
testimony]

THE COURT: Again, you're welcome to call the pediatrician. I'll hear her testimony. If it's
persuasive enough, I can
always reinstitute the order of protection.
MS. CCCCCC: Would you call her right now?
THE COURT: No, ma'am. I've got to get to my
next hearing. [judge Rash set the hearing two MONTHS into the future!]

[this failure to take testimony caused further trauma to our son, and the same day of this
dismissal the police were called from the school upon Respondent pick up] Judge Rash’s
actions were detrimental to our son and his health, this judge is so biased it got in the way of
safety and justice, definitely diminished any confidence in the court. It is my observation he
hates his job, refused to obtain education and training in this field, practices unauthorized
practice as health provider and he may have some other instability that is disturbing him which
is causing this harmful behavior/conduct.
He may do better in traffic court or as a hockey referee.

Judge Rash has violated Rules of professional conduct, involving dishonesty, deceit or
misrepresentation and engages in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice.
I strongly recommend Judge Rash NOT be retained as a judge.
I am writing regarding my opinion of judge Rash he is the presiding judge over family court and was
never a family law attorney. He continues to allow a court appointed evaluator Dr. Holly Joubert
with active DUI charges pending to remain in the court system. He allows the same court appointed
evaluator to stay employed even though she lies on the stand and ruins entire families. All in the name
of money. So I vote to remove him from office. He allows crooks to remain in service to the court.
Second I vote to remove Judge Sakall he harms Arizona families through the same court appointed
evaluator Dr. Holly Joubert.
Third Judge Bryson should be removed he continues to support Dr. Holly Joubert even after meeting
with moms who were ruined by the lies of Dr. Holly Joubert.
She is a menace to Arizona families with her lies and Judges are not finding in the best interest of the
child A.R.S. 25-403.B. the courts are devastating families by allowing this court appointed evaluator to
remain in the courts.
Thank You Eva Solie

I am a court watcher and advocate and have had occasion to accompany women into the courtroom of
Judge Rash. He is temperamental and a screamer violates the Canons. Exculpatory evidence offered to
Judge Rash by parents that could clear their names and protect their children is repeatedly rejected by
him, including expert witness testimony and documentation of battery and sexual abuse. This appears
to be a pattern of practice of Judge Rash. When litigants take the time and money to offer this Judge
exculpatory evidence and they dare to ask him why, he loses all control and screams and makes threats
of contempt and jail. His behavior endangers domestic violence victims and their children. Furthermore,
he forces bankrupt litigants into contracts with a particular evaluator on the court list of contractors,
Holly Joubert . Ms. Joubert is a known, identified drunk driver, facing three felony charges involving
drugs and alcohol while driving. There have been several calls and letters to Joy Hollis the woman in
charge of the court list with Judge Rash and no response. Ms. Joubert presents in court with alcohol on
her breath and during evaluations of children at her office. Holly Joubert falsifies her reports to Superior
Court Judges further endangering children who discloses battery and sexual abuse to her. Her reports
are in violation of several laws including, felony failure to report suspected sexual abuse of children to
law enforcement. Judge Sakall has received known, false reports from Joubert as she misrepresents
graphic descriptions of children as they disclose sexual abuse her in her court reports. Her gross
misrepresentation go to judges making life altering custody decision that endanger domestic violence
victims and result in vulnerable children’s placements with known identified abusers. The reliance on
junk science such as PAS Parental Alienation and other forms of therapeutic jurisprudence results in a
great disservice to families turning to the Pima Superior Court for equal justice. These actions by Judges
not reading evidence and relying wholly on the feelings and hunches of highly paid third party appointee
not only destroys generations of wealth in families but endangers the lives of citizens.

Judge Rash was

assigned to my case,
where I am the
Petitioner. Judge Rash
has yelled at me in the
Courtroom on several
occasions, and has
ruled without evidentiary
hearing, resulting in
dangerous situations
that were detrimental to
my health, and the
health of my child. He
has also refused to
protect me and my son
from my ex-husband
who has been found
guilty twice of domestic
violence in the Tucson
City Courts.
It is my understanding that Judge Rash walked out of a
conference on domestic violence, and it is my experience
that Judge Rash is not trauma-informed, which is an
important quality necessary for gathering testimony from
individuals who most likely have experienced abuse or
neglect, since they are seeking resolution in parenting time
and legal decision making (there is clearly a lack of trust and
communication between the parties).

Judge Rash has demonstrated that he is unaware of the right

to an advocate for either party which is guaranteed through
the American with Disabilities Act.
Do you have any other

comments regarding

this judge?
Judge Rash has repeatedly demonstrated bias against me in
my case, through ignoring evidence, refusing evidence to be
entered, and intimidating me as the Petitioner. He has
threatened to remove my son from my home, and has
refused to accept reports from other agencies, including
DCS.

Judge Rash allows domestic violence to be perpetuated

through the Court System.

I strongly recommend that Judge Rash NOT be retained as a

Judge.
