California case challenges Obama's eligibility
June 29, 2009 - WorldNetDaily - Dr. Orly Taitz
A California lawyer seeking a default judgment against Barack Obama in her case challenging his eligibility to hold the office of president is trying multiple ways to notify him of the action, in light of a judge's order to do everything possible to assure that notification.
The judge has scheduled a hearing July 13 in a case brought by plaintiffs' attorney Orly Taitz, who believes the commander-in-chief is in default.
Taitz has told WND if her motion is granted she will immediately request access to Obama's birth records and other documentation that could determine his eligibility to occupy the Oval Office.
Now Taitz told WND she is trying a number of different methods to notify the president following the ruling from U.S. District Judge David O. Carter, who said: "Before the court is a motion by plaintiffs for reconsideration of order to show cause or in the alternative to certify question for appeal. Court sets this matter for hearing on July 13, 2009 at 8:30a.m. in Courtroom 9D. Plaintiffs are directed to make every effort possible to ensure that all remaining defendants are aware of the hearing and provide documentation that the individual receiving service is authorized to accept on defendants' behalf."

Economy plays part in process serving; a no-win situation
By T.M. Shultz - The Daily Courier, AZ - Sunday, June 28, 2009
Several Prescott investigation businesses and the county sheriff's office say they've noticed a disturbing trend lately of increasing attacks on process servers.
"It seems like the last year especially we are having assault after assault after assault," said Bob Palmer, owner of Palmer Investigations.
And by that, he says, he means actual physical assaults.
"It used to be when you knocked on a door, everybody was polite to you," Palmer continued. "It's a more violent culture now."
Kelli McFarland, owner of Alliance Investigations, said her employees mostly encounter yelling and door slamming.
But she has had a gun pulled on her, she said. She agrees things have been getting worse in the past year. However, she doesn't blame it solely on recent tough economic times.
She said she thinks it's because too many people are moving here from the "big cities" - people who are rude and self-centered by nature.
A third Prescott investigation firm has had guns pulled on its employees, too.

Hayden Kho's mom no-show at libel preliminary investigation
GMANEWS.tv - 06/25/2009 - Phillipines
MANILA, Philippines – Irene Kho, mother of controversial celebrity surgeon Hayden Kho, failed to show up at the preliminary investigation on Thursday of the libel case filed against her by actress Katrina Halili.
Neither did Mrs. Kho's legal counsel appear at the investigation under prosecutor Rafael Villordon, despite her having been sent a subpoena to her home.
Halili filed a complaint of two counts of libel against Mrs. Kho with two counts of libel at the Quezon City Regional Trial Court.
But Halili, accompanied by her legal counsel Raymund Palad, attended the hearing and swore by her affidavit as required by Villordon.
"Although the complaint-affidavit has already been sworn in before another city prosecutor when the case was filed, it is still my policy to require the complainant to appear personally before me to determine whether she is still pursuing the case or she already changed her mind from the time the case filed until the setting of the first preliminary investigation," Villordon said.
In her complaint, Halili said Mrs. Kho made false and malicious remarks against her in two television interviews, on May 25 and May 26, in which Mrs. Kho alleged that Halili taught Hayden how to use drugs.
Mrs. Kho made the accusations after the sex video scandal involving Hayden and several women, Halili included, broke out last month.
According to Halili, Mrs. Kho’s statements "were all calculated to induce the public into believing that the complainant is a drug user and a 'pusher' when said malicious assertions are false and unfounded," and that these were made to discredit her and destroy her reputation.
Despite the failure of Mrs. Kho and her legal counsel to attend the hearing, she would still be given the chance to submit her counter-affidavit on July 2, the scheduled next hearing on the case, Villordon said.

Man claims deputies violated his rights when tasered
By Christine Harrington - 3TV - June 22, 2009
PRESCOTT - Robert Leech said Yavapai County Sheriff's deputies abused, intimidated and violated his rights, while conducting a criminal investigation at his home without a search warrant.
He now has an attorney but deputies are adamant they did nothing wrong.
Robert Leech said he and his wife were enjoying the morning when a process server came through their gate.
That's when his wife went for her gun.
“She walks up holding the shot gun not pointing the shot gun and asked him to get off our property,” Leech said.
Needless to say the process server left and moments later two Yavapai County Sheriff’s deputies arrived.

In Dallas, he could get a year in jail
By RICK CASEY - Houston Chronicle - June 20, 2009
Here’s an idea: Public officials should not be permitted to work on sideline businesses in any way related to their public work.
If a guy is in charge of supervising voter registration and needs more money, he should wait tables — not do political work on the side for candidates.
If a guy is district clerk, in charge of handling all filings relating to lawsuits but needs more money, he should mow lawns — not hire out to a process serving company.
The problem is that anyone holding public office who does outside work related to that office gives the appearance of selling the office.
To start with the second example first, when he was district clerk, Charles Bacarisse hired out as a $4,500-a-month consultant to a courier service and a company that served court papers on parents who failed to make child-support payments.
Apparently, the $135,000 a year we paid him wasn’t enough.
Bacarisse said there was nothing unethical about the arrangement, but a competing process server said she had turned down his offer (for a price) to help her by recommending her to lawyers who need those services.
He denied it, but the sense lingered that we had a district clerk who was on the take.
