SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO, EAST COUNTY DIVISION

1. California Civil Code §47(b)(2), which allows civil prosecution of perjury
when combined with spoliation of documents, was written so that the instant
case could be prosecuted.  

However, it is deeply uncertain that the instant case will be allowed to go
forward because CCC 47(b)(2) is a law whose existence the courts have
systematically ignored.  Why?  Because the courts do not want the judgments
that resulted from perjury and spoliation to be overturned.  

This “public policy” preserves the pervasive presence of perjury in our
judicial system.  Half of all lawyers say that perjury is a problem for them: the
other half are apparently not bothered by it.  

In the one case where this law was followed, Terry Rusheen v. Barry H.
Cohen, et al, the California Court of Appeal made sure to tag the case for non-
publication.  

And yet, California courts are unwilling to say that this law should not be
followed, or that “public policy” trumps a legitimate law, because the courts
know that this legitimate law should trump public policy.   

As long as perjury in furtherance of destruction of evidence is sanctions by
our courts, we don’t have a true justice system.  We merely have a decision-
making system.  


2. It’s time for California Civil Code §47(b)(2), which became law in 1991, to
be directly addressed by a California court.  Over the past fifteen years CCC
§47 has been frequently cited in case law, and has been upheld without fail.  
The courts have obviously read CCC §47(b)(2); they couldn’t have missed it.  
Still, these courts claim that the litigation privilege is absolute.  CCC §47(b)
(2) says it is not absolute; there is an exception when evidence is destroyed
or altered and unlawful statements are made “in furtherance” of such an act.
CCC §47(b)(2) states:

_________________________________
3. Aside from one or two indirect mentions (Laborde v. Aronson (App. 4
Dist. 2001) 112 Cal.Rptr.2d 119,92 Cal.App.4th 459), and one unpublished
decision, (Terry Rusheen v. Barry H. Cohen, et al.), California courts have
behaved as if this law did not exist.

4. In Terry Rusheen v. Barry H. Cohen, et al., the judgment was set aside
and a trial granted because, due to falsification of documents, the original
case had been dismissed without trial (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No.
EC022640) SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, DIVISION FOUR).

5. This is exactly what occurred in the instant case. In San Diego Superior
Court case number GIC 781970 was dismissed without trial, without any
decision on the merits, due to spoliation and falsification of documents
furthered by perjury.
FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION


15.  On May 14, 2004, defendants intentionally prepared
a false declaration  (Exhibit 1) to be signed under penalty of
perjury by CVE President VIRGINIA BOYD.

16.  Virginia Boyd knowingly signed the false document under penalty of perjury
and HERSH, TUCKER, WATSON, CVE AND CTA suborned the perjur.  BOYD,
HERSH, TUCKER, WATSON,CVE AND CTA filed the document in San Diego
Superior Court case number GIC 781970.

17. Defendants’ conduct as alleged in this cause of action constitutes an unlawful
act in violation of Penal Code section 127, which states, “Every person who
willfully procures another person to commit perjury is guilty of subornation of
perjury, and is punishable in the same manner as he would be if personally guilty
of the perjury so procured.”

18. The perjured declaration signed by BOYD on May 14, 2004 stated that BOYD’
s notes of a February 12, 2001 meeting CVESD meeting regarding plaintiff were
accidentally lost or destroyed (Exhibit 1).  

In fact, the notes were intentionally destroyed by BOYD, TUCKER, WATSON,
HERSH, CTA AND CVE, either directly or by conspiracy to destroy the notes, on or
about May 14, 2004.  These notes constituted "physical evidence" as specified in
Section 250 of the Evidence Code or evidence that is property of any type
specified in Section 2031 of the Code of Civil Procedure.”

19. In or about October of 2004, WATSON, BOYD, TUCKER, HERSH, CTA AND
CVE, through subornation or false testimony under oath, committed perjury again
in furtherance of this act of destruction of documents and in order to deprive
plaintiff of the use of this evidence.

20.  The double felony of spoliation and perjury was committed by WATSON,
BOYD, HERSH, TUCKER, WATSON, CVE AND CTA to hide crimes by WATSON and
Robin Colls Donlan.  In 2000, WATSON had received information from an arrest
record illegally obtained by Robin Donlan, and in 2001 WATSON took part in a
conspiracy to violate Labor Code 432.7 against plaintiff.  

WATSON demanded that her illegal actions against a fellow member of CVE and
CTA be concealed by CVE and CTA.  BOYD and CVE thereafter filed a grievance
on WATSON’s behalf to keep her actions secret, and to deprive plaintiff of the
use of that evidence.

21. Defendants BOYD, TUCKER, WATSON, CVE AND CTA conspired to file a
grievance on WATSON’s behalf, and the grievance was filed by CVE, in order to
conceal WATSON’s actions.

The grievance demanded that Assistant Superintendent Richard Werlin of Chula
Vista Elementary School District deny that he made a statement on February 12,
2001 to the effect that two teachers called him at home on the previous Saturday
night.   

Werlin agreed to change his story and to say that only one teacher called him.   
Werlin kept to the agreement, and committed perjury in 2002 and 2003
regarding this matter.  

BOYD, after destroying her notes, or giving them to HERSH to destroy,
apparently forgot about the agreement to conceal this detail, and three years
after making the agreement, BOYD stated under oath that Richard Werlin
announced on Feb. 12, 2001 that two people had called him at home regarding
plaintiff.

22.
LINDA WATSON committed perjury when she denied under oath that she had
called Werlin, but changed her story when asked if she minded if her Saturday
February 10, 2001 phone records were checked to see if she called Richard
Werlin at his home around 8:30 in the evening.

23.  Evidence of the truth about WATSON’s actions was contained in BOYD’s
notes of a meeting at Chula Vista Elementary School District on February 12,
2001.  All defendants conspired to destroy these notes.

24. At the root of all these misdemeanors and felonies were the original
misdemeanors of
Robin Colls Donlan and her brother Michael Carlson in or about
September of 2000, in which they conspired to obtain and disseminate, in
violation of multiple California Codes, the record of an arrest that led to neither
charges nor a conviction.  BOYD, then-president of Chula Vista Educators (CVE),
was a long-time friend of Robin Donlan, and for that reason decided to commit
multiple felonies to cover up Donlan’s and WATSON’s misdemeanors.

25.  As a proximate result of defendant’s conduct as described in this cause of
action, Plaintiff and students and teachers of California have suffered from a
damaged educational and legal system caused by the blatant violation of both
civil and criminal statutes by DEFENDANTS WATSON, TUCKER, HERSH, BOYD,
CTA AND CVE.
6. Plaintiff MAURA LARKINS is now, and at all times mentioned in this
complaint was, a resident of San Diego County, California.  Plaintiff was
employed as a teacher in Chula Vista Elementary School District from
September 1974 until February 2003, and is now retired.

7.  LINDA WATSON, hereinafter referred to as WATSON, is now, and at all
times mentioned in this complaint has been, a resident of San Diego
County, California and an employee of CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL DISTRICT.

8. Defendant VIRGINIA BOYD, hereinafter referred to as BOYD, is now
and at all times mentioned in this complaint was a resident of San Diego
County, California.  At the time of the events referred to in this complaint,
BOYD was employed as President of CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY
EDUCATION ASSOCIATION.  Prior to her employment by CTA, she was
employed as a teacher at Castle Park Elementary School.  

9.  Defendant Michael D. Hersh, hereinafter referred to as HERSH, is now
and at all times mentioned in this complaint was a resident of Los Angeles
County, California, and was employed as an attorney for the California
Teachers Association, and represented Virginia Boyd, CHULA VISTA
ELEMENTARY EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, and CALIFORNIA TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION in San Diego Superior Court case number GIC 781970.

10.  Defendant Beverly Tucker, hereinafter referred to as TUCKER, is now
and at all times mentioned in this complaint was a resident of California,
and was employed as Head Counsel for the California Teachers
Association, and represented Virginia Boyd, CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY
EDUCATION ASSOCIATION, and CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
in San Diego Superior Court case number GIC 781970.

11.  Chula Vista Elementary Education Association, hereinafter referred to
as “CHULA VISTA ELEMENTARY EDUCATION ASSOCIATION” or “CVE,”
is a labor organization authorized and existing under the laws of the State
of California in the county of San Diego.  It is a local chapter of
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.

12. California Teachers Association, hereinafter referred to as
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION or “CTA” is a labor organization
authorized and existing under the laws of the State of California.

13.  The true names of defendants DOES 1 through 10, inclusive, are
unknown to plaintiff at this time.  Plaintiff sues those defendants by such
fictitious names pursuant to section 474 of the Code of Civil Procedure.  
Plaintiff is informed and believes, and based on that information and belief
alleges, that each of the defendants designated as a DOE is legally
responsible for the events and happenings referred to in this complaint,
and unlawfully caused the injuries and damages to plaintiff alleged in this
complaint.

either
retract the
