In an article on Courthouse News yesterday, March 24, 2014, by MATT REYNOLDS outlines how the ongoing drama between Pauley Perrette and her ex-husband Coyote Shivers appears to continue.

As soon as we can find whether this case is in Domestic Court, Criminal Court or Civil Court we will attempt to get the paperwork.

The article outlines the following:

LOS ANGELES (CN) – “NCIS” star Pauley Perrette sought restraining orders against her ex-husband Francis Shivers, who now claims in court that his ex-wife is gaming the court system and terrorizing him.

Perrette successfully obtained court orders against Shivers after they separated in 2004 and divorced in 2006.

Shivers later faced allegations from his previous wife, model and singer Bebe Buell, and ex-girlfriend Angela Garber, that he was physically and psychologically abusive.

All three women have claimed that Shivers harasses them through bogus complaints and requests for restraining orders, according to a September 2009 story from Fox News.

TMZ reported in 2012 that Shivers was arrested for violating the terms of a restraining order by showing up to eat at the same sushi restaurant Perrette was in.

But in his new Superior Court complaint, Francis “Coyote” Shivers, 48, calls himself an “unwilling victim.” He claims that Perrette, 44, was inspired by an unsold screenplay she wrote, “Star Crazy,” in which an actress takes revenge on a man who rejected her.

“Perrette never succeeded in selling her ‘Star Crazy’ script,” Shivers says in his complaint. “Instead, she decided to act it out in real life with plaintiff as her unwilling victim and co-star.”

Shivers claims Perrette attempted to break into the house he was living in when he filed for divorce in 2004, and says he sought a restraining order against the actress in early 2005.

During a “decade-long campaign of harassment,” Perrette has “intended to financially, physically, and emotionally ruin plaintiff,” the 11-page lawsuit states.

Shivers reportedly married Brazilian journalist and author Mayra Dias Gomes in 2010. The actor and musician claims that Perrette admitted to hiring investigators to snoop on him, and has dug up personal financial information on his wife.

Shivers claims that Perrette and her fiancé, former British Royal Marine and actor Thomas Arklie set a trap for him at the Shintaro restaurant so he would unwittingly violate the terms of the restraining order.

In November 2012, Shivers claims, he and his wife went to the Shintaro restaurant, an eatery he frequented, to find Perrette and Arklie waiting for them.

Shivers says he tried to leave and claims Perrette and Arklie “moved their bodies to a location anticipated to be in proximity to them [Shivers and his wife], for the ulterior purpose of triggering violation of the temporary restraining order.”

The lawsuit claims that Perrette and Arklie secured a criminal protective order after Shivers, “in self-defense, instinctively began to record Arklie’s attempted assault and pursuit of plaintiff as he and his wife attempted to exit the Shintaro restaurant.”

Furthermore, Shivers says, Perrette has tried to stop him from using the word “stalker” when referring to her on Twitter and has incited “NCIS” fans, who have sent him death threats.

Perrette paints herself as a “victim of real-life domestic abuse so as to promote her police procedural drama television series at the expense of plaintiff’s rights and wellbeing,” Shivers claims.

“Prior to the March 20, 2012 incident at Shintaro, defendant Perrette had testified in other proceedings, and the court had found, that there had in fact been no history of any domestic violence,” the lawsuit states.

Alleging assault, abuse of process and intentional infliction of emotional distress, Shivers seeks punitive damages and costs.

He identifies Perrette by the name Laura Pauline Perrett in his complaint. He also names Arklie as a co-defendant.

He is represented by Hirad Dadgostar.

It appears that Perrette will again be spending money on lawyers to unravel this latest turn in a saga that has been ongoing since 2004.

Whistle Blower Elin Baklid-Kunz wins $20,000,000.00 that’s right the zeros equal twenty million dollars (25%) of the total recovered by the U. S. Federal Government. This is her share as the Whistle Blower on Medicare and Medicaid fraud against Halifax Hospital Medical Center. The medical center has agreed to pay $85 million to the federal government. Elin Baklid-Kunz received her part of the settlement under provisions of the federal False Claims Act. The 150-year-old False Claims Act encourages private citizens who are aware of fraud against the federal government to bring that information forward in the form of a civil action against those suspected of fraud. In a winning suit, a private citizen—often referred to as a whistleblower can claim as much as 25 percent of the funds recovered for the government from a judgment or settlement.

The lead attorney for Kuntz is Marlan Wilbanks of Atlanta’s Wilbanks & Bridges. One of our favorite attorneys to follow L. Lin Wood of of Wood, Hernacki & Evans was part of the plaintiff’s lawyers.

Halifax Hospital Medical Center and its subsidiary Halifax Staffing Inc. settled part of the five-year-old case with the U.S. Justice Department on Monday, March 10, 2014.

In an article by R. Robin McDonald, on March 12, 2014 Wilbanks said; “that whistleblowers collect, on average, about 16.5 percent of funds the federal government reclaims in whistleblower cases. Kunz’s payout, represents more than twice the largest previous settlement in the history of a Stark Act case.” The Stark Act bars a medical center from submitting claims to Medicare and Medicaid for health care services referred by a physician with whom the medical center has a financial relationship and who would gain excess benefit either directly or indirectly from that referral.

Lin Wood said of the settlement; “That Kunz’s made significant contributions … which were recognized by the United States in awarding her a 24.5 percent relator’s fee where the statutory cap is 25 percent.”

As you might guess only a part of the whistleblower lawsuit is over Wilbanks and Lin Wood are continuing to litigate against Halifax over allegations that the hospital fraudulently boosted revenues at the expense of federal Medicare and Medicaid programs by admitting patients for short stays of one to two days when there was no medical necessity to do so. The second phase of the Halifax case kicks off in July with a jury trial, where Wood and Wilbanks will seek between $80 million to $240 million on claims that Halifax committed fraud “with respect to improper admissions of short-stay patients”.

Lin Wood, always the Georgia accent attorney, went on to say; “I do not believe the general public fully understands and appreciates the important role in our system played by whistleblowers such as Elin Kunz. The public should look beyond her share of the recovery and consider the high price she has paid for having the courage to speak the truth. … She has suffered isolation, retaliation, ridicule and scorn almost every day for five years from Halifax executives and co-employees. Her career in compliance, a job she loves, has essentially been lost to her forever. But her courage has recovered over $60 million for the U.S. treasury with more to come. She is, by any definition, a hero.”

The settlement agreement includes an admission by the medical center that it violated the Stark Act by paying incentive bonuses to six oncologists employed by Halifax Staffing, a hospital subsidiary, that were based on the fees generated by prescribed drugs and outpatient and physician services. Federal prosecutors said that Halifax also paid three hospital neurosurgeons more than the fair market value of their work, which was then billed to Medicare and Medicaid, in violation of federal law.

One of the main things that Kunz found most offensive were that the procedures involved patient safety. Kunz discovered that there was no medical necessity for 90 percent of the spinal fusions performed by one of the hospital’s neurosurgeons.

Enjoy reading the settlement agreement, as you know most of these are sealed never to be spoke of again.

What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome!!!

Francis Coyote Shivers, which should give you shivers is at it again. He is a victim, the justice system in California is corrupt. We are trying to check out with sources if he is still not allowed to file a civil lawsuit without permission of the Court. That testy “Vexatious Litigant”, means he filed lawsuits he knew he could not win just to harass “victims” and just people. So Coyote did the next best thing, had a group A Voice for Men it appears, not sure but looks like one of their documents. Anyway Coyote Shivers has filed a State Bar Complaint on Deputy Los Angeles City Attorney Elizabeth Gertz.

Jan-30-2014-Gertz-Complaint-Final-by-Coyote-Shivers.pdf (48 downloads)

One can guess Ms Gertz has probably prosecuted him in the past. My question remains why is a Canadian in the U. S. using tax payers money in ridiculous filings? There is even a petition to have very rich Justin Beiber sent back to Canada filed by American citizens so why is the Coyote allowed to stay???

In other news Larry Bakman Esq. has warned A Voice for Men to delete the libel and defaming articles etc. from their site or be sued by his client John J Nazarian PI. Nazarian-2-11-14.pdf (44 downloads)

At this point based on what happened to us in 2007-2010 I want to just say “pass the popcorn” and expect a bumpy ride. This guy is rough and tough and normally gets men cleared of domestic violence cases, however libel is libel.

Just when you think all of the weird stuff is about Beiber, up pops some ill-informed people who took Coyote’s side and decided to slammed John Nazarian. A P. I. that to me looks rough and tough and serious. I received an email last night saying this “cough cough” group from the Lone Star Great State of Texas, put up their response as an article. Ah y’all come see us you hear!!! Such class, but then consider the source.

Like I said pass the popcorn, and let’s see how these bloggers like being put under what Rose Speaks.com bloggers went through a few years back. Personal advice y’all should expect some sleepless nights.

However this MRA (Men Rights Advocates) are not thought highly of by other groups because of their extreme shenanigans.

However, A Voice for Men led by Paul Elam and Dean Esmay have a novel idea for the extinction of humans; just teach all boys not to ever get married and not to ever have children. Yeppers that should take care of men like the Coyote, way to go!!!

A lawyer had a client and they thought the guy was being falsely accused of Domestic Violence and having Restraining Orders issued without cause.

Larry Bakman Esq. defends men who are unfairly targeted by a woman or soon to be ex-wife with groundless accusations of domestic violence.

Larry Bakman took the case and represented the father accused of domestic violence including allegations of extreme child abuse and sexual assault against the wife.

Bakman successfully defended against the allegations wherein Judge Maloney’s Court dissolved the temporary restraining orders that had been put in place as a result of the initial allegations and then refused to issue permanent orders after eight days of trial.

A win for men and a win for anyone who uses the court system in a fraudulent way. The person who brought this innocent man to Mr. Bakman, John Nazarian the very person A Voice for Men is going after. Talk about alienating someone on your side and not researching before you trash someone with libel and defamation, well… well…. well.

We were able to confirm that Larry Bakman was retained by John J Nazarian, to protect Nazarian’s reputation whether it be defamation or libel as well as all of his copyrights, and anything else that Nazarian needs. Sadly to me at least these screaming hateful people don’t have anything to go after as for as assets, but who knows what can be dug up on them.

This should be interesting as to who all will have attorneys fight this or will they cave?

Good work Larry Bakman Esq. in defending those falsely accused. Good work John J Nazarian for what you do and personally Rose Speaks.com can’t wait to share ALL of the paperwork including any lawsuits to come.

30 for 30 Shorts: ‘Judging Jewell’

The Grantland Staff of ESPN introduces the latest film, from award-winning filmmaker Adam Hootnick. This short film tells the story of a nation’s rush to judgment in the aftermath of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing.

The short introduction to the film says:

On Saturday, July 27, 1996, a terrorist’s bomb exploded in Centennial Olympic Park at the Atlanta Summer Games, killing two and injuring 111. The toll would have been far higher if not for security guard Richard Jewell, who discovered the bag holding the bomb and helped clear the area. Yet within hours, praise of his heroism turned to vicious accusations. Jewell would be hounded for months by investigations and the media. Eventually, the FBI would capture and convict Eric Robert Rudolph for the crime. Judging Jewell revisits the scene in Atlanta where Richard Jewell, a man simply doing his job, lost the one thing he valued most — his honor.

Be sure to watch this moving movie about the media and America’s rush to judgment of a man who was just doing his job and saved over 100 people, but became a huge “leaked” suspect by the FBI. Richard Jewell spent the next 88 days living in hell until his name was cleared. He died in 2007 at the age of 44, never being hailed the hero that he truly was.

Max O’Connell of indiewire introduced the film today stating that “Continuing the “30 for 30″ short series, the online companion piece to the feature-length “30 for 30″ documentaries, ESPN debuted “Judging Jewell” by Adam Hootnick (“Unsettled”) yesterday on Grantland.

The short documents the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, when security guard Richard Jewell was accused of planting a bomb that killed two and injured 111. To add insult to injury, Jewell had actually discovered the bag holding the bomb and helped clear the area. Though his name was eventually cleared, Jewell was hounded by the media, and upon his death in 2007 the stigma still hadn’t cleared.

http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=10365079

I watched it last night and have to admit I wept at this unsung hero and what Atlanta and all of us owe this quiet man who was targeted because someone just did not like him.

We contacted his attorney L. Lin Wood this morning, after seeing him moved to his voice choking up as he recounts how he asked Jewell to forgive him for believing the media swarming reports.

Mr. Wood said that; “I miss Richard every day. He was a special client and a dear friend.”

Richard Jewell and Mr. Wood’s defense of him in multiple lawsuits, propelled Wood on the road to become one of the top First Amendment Expert in US courts. Wood earned this reputation in taking on the media for clients who have been chewed up and spit out by a machine that jumps on a story to be the first often not waiting for the facts to come out. Wood represented the parents of JonBenét Ramsey, the Estate of Anna Nicole Smith, Natalee Holloway’s mother and those of less fame. Lin Wood has been said to be “The voice of the damned”

My wish, because of this new interest in Richard Jewell, is it will now move the city of Atlanta to put up a small plaque in their Centennial Olympic Park that just says, “Remembering Richard Jewell 1962-2007 a hero in the 1996 Olympics”.
