Judge Barry Goode - Argument for disbarment, connecting Walnut Creek Police, Contra Costa DA Mark Peterson in Kidnapping Conspiracy

Pete Bennett filed Move Away Protection Orders - the court clerk stated the judge didn't have time hear the motion.  

Pete Bennett filed Move Away Protection Orders - the court clerk stated the judge didn't have time hear the motion setting in motion the Parental Abduction via Contra Costa Superior Court with help from Court Personnel.

The effective result was aiding and abetting parental abduction of the sons of Pete Bennett but also a co-conspirator in the numerous attempts on Bennett's life.  In 2011, Bennett was followed by Santa Clara District Attorney investigators. 

The most deliberately overlooked incident is when Bennett was traveling north on 680 several months before the deadly Kinder Morgan explosion in Walnut Creek CA.  The divorce started filing was April, by June the explorer nearly flips then another

Early life and education[edit]

A New York native, Goode earned a bachelor's degree magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Kenyon College in 1969. He earned a law degree cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1972.^[1]

Professional career[edit]

Goode's first job out of law school was as a special assistant to U.S. Sen. Adlai Stevenson III of Illinois, from 1972 until 1974, when Goode then joined the San Francisco law firm McCutchen, Doyle, Brown & Enersen (now Bingham McCutchen), where he rose to become a partner. Throughout his 27-year career at the firm, he specialized in representing large corporations in environmental litigation. He also worked as an adjunct instructor of environmental law at the University of San Francisco.^[2] Goode left the firm in 2001 to join California state government.

Nomination to the Ninth Circuit[edit]

President Bill Clinton nominated Goode to the Ninth Circuit on June 24, 1998, to replace Charles Edward Wiggins, who had taken senior status.^[3] With the U.S. Senate under Republican control from that point until the end of Clinton's presidency, Goode's nomination languished, with no hearing scheduled or U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee vote for him. Despite the support for him from both of California's senators at that time, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, Goode's nomination was held up by one anonymous senator who had placed a hold on his nomination for unexplained reasons. Clinton renominated Goode on January 26, 1999, and renominated him again on January 3, 2001.^[2] On March 19, 2001, however, President George W. Bush withdrew 62 executive and judicial nominations made by Clinton in his final days as president, including that of Goode.^[4] Goode's nearly three-year nomination remains one of the single longest federal appeals-court judicial nominations never given a full Senate vote, behind those of Helene White, Henry Saad and Terrence Boyle.
In April 2003, President Bush nominated Carlos Bea to the Ninth Circuit seat to which Goode had been nominated. Bea was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in September 2003.^[5]

Work for California Gov. Gray Davis[edit]

On February 1, 2001, California Gov. Gray Davis named Goode as his secretary of legal affairs. Goode called the post an "important job," in an interview with the Metropolitan News-Enterprise newspaper in a story that was published on February 2, 2001. "I'm the kind of person who looks forward, not backward," he told the paper, referring to his expired federal judicial nomination.
During his time working for Gray Davis, Goode was the point person during two controversies. One involved a $95 million software contract with Oracle Corporation and Northrop Grumman that state officials rescinded in 2002 after critics charged that it would cost the state millions of dollars instead of generating the promised $100 million in savings.^[6] The other controversy involved power generator Duke Energy, which in 2001 was accused of gouging California.^[7]

Appointment to current judgeship[edit]

On November 11, 2003, just days before he left office after an unprecedented recall vote, Davis appointed Goode to serve on the Contra Costa County Superior Court.^[8] Goode's courtroom is located in Martinez, California, which is the county seat of Contra Costa County.

Personal[edit]

Goode lives in California.^[1] Goode has taught environmental law at the University of San Francisco School of Law.^[1]

The right not to be excluded from any such public court proceeding, unless the court, after receiving clear and convincing evidence, determines that testimony by the victim would be materially altered if the victim heard other testimony at that proceeding.

(4)

The right to be reasonably heard at any public proceeding in the district court involving release, plea, sentencing, or any parole proceeding.

(5)

The reasonable right to confer with the attorney for the Government in the case.

(7)

The right to proceedings free from unreasonable delay.

(8)

The right to be informed in a timely manner of any plea bargain or deferred prosecution agreement.

(10)

The right to be informed of the rights under this section and the services described in section 503(c) of the Victims’ Rights and Restitution Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 10607(c)) [1] and provided contact information for the Office of the Victims’ Rights Ombudsman of the Department of Justice.

(b)Rights Afforded.—

(1)In general.—

In any court proceeding involving an offense against a crime victim, the court shall ensure that the crime victim is afforded the rights described in subsection (a). Before making a determination described in subsection (a)(3), the court shall make every effort to permit the fullest attendance possible by the victim and shall consider reasonable alternatives to the exclusion of the victim from the criminal proceeding. The reasons for any decision denying relief under this chapter shall be clearly stated on the record.

(2)Habeas corpus proceedings.—

(A)In general.—

In a Federal habeas corpus proceeding arising out of a State conviction, the court shall ensure that a crime victim is afforded the rights described in paragraphs (3), (4), (7), and (8) of subsection (a).

(B)Enforcement.—

(i)In general.—

These rights may be enforced by the crime victim or the crime victim’s lawful representative in the manner described in paragraphs (1) and (3) of subsection (d).

(ii)Multiple victims.—

In a case involving multiple victims, subsection (d)(2) shall also apply.

(C)Limitation.—

This paragraph relates to the duties of a court in relation to the rights of a crime victim in Federal habeas corpus proceedings arising out of a State conviction, and does not give rise to any obligation or requirement applicable to personnel of any agency of the Executive Branch of the Federal Government.

(D)Definition.—

For purposes of this paragraph, the term “crime victim” means the person against whom the Stateoffense is committed or, if that person is killed or incapacitated, that person’s family member or other lawful representative.

(c)Best Efforts To Accord Rights.—

(1)Government.—

Officers and employees of the Department of Justice and other departments and agencies of the United States engaged in the detection, investigation, or prosecution of crime shall make their best efforts to see that crime victims are notified of, and accorded, the rights described in subsection (a).

(2)Advice of attorney.—

(2)Multiple crime victims.—

In a case where the court finds that the number of crime victims makes it impracticable to accord all of the crime victims the rights described in subsection (a), the court shall fashion a reasonable procedure to give effect to this chapter that does not unduly complicate or prolong the proceedings.

(3)Motion for relief and writ of mandamus.—

The rights described in subsection (a) shall be asserted in the district court in which a defendant is being prosecuted for the crime or, if no prosecution is underway, in the district court in the district in which the crime occurred. The district court shall take up and decide any motion asserting a victim’s right forthwith. If the district court denies the relief sought, the movant may petition the court of appeals for a writ of mandamus. The court of appeals may issue the writ on the order of a single judge pursuant to circuit rule or the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. The court of appeals shall take up and decide such application forthwith within 72 hours after the petition has been filed, unless the litigants, with the approval of the court, have stipulated to a different time period for consideration. In deciding such application, the court of appeals shall apply ordinary standards of appellate review. In no event shall proceedings be stayed or subject to a continuance of more than five days for purposes of enforcing this chapter. If the court of appeals denies the relief sought, the reasons for the denial shall be clearly stated on therecord in a written opinion.

(4)Error.—

In any appeal in a criminal case, the Government may assert as error the district court’s denial of any crime victim’s right in the proceeding to which the appeal relates.

(5)Limitation on relief.—In no case shall a failure to afford a right under this chapter provide grounds for a new trial. A victim may make a motion to re-open a plea or sentence only if—

(B)

the victim petitions the court of appeals for a writ of mandamus within 14 days; and

(C)

in the case of a plea, the accused has not pled to the highest offense charged.

This paragraph does not affect the victim’s right to restitution as provided in title 18, United States Code.

(6)No cause of action.—

Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to authorize a cause of action for damages or to create, to enlarge, or to imply any duty or obligation to any victim or other person for the breach of which the United States or any of its officers or employees could be held liable in damages.

Kidnapping: ELIZABETH ANN STRATTON

The Same Investigators, Officers, District Attorney investigators and a string of District Attorneys.  

Your clue for Antioch is the murders on Putman, the Timothy Mitchell Murder by CNET, the Hillgrade Ave arson, the bar of Cumberland Drive in Pittsburg, The Lisa Norrel murder, the dead prostitutes and the flow of drugs flowing unchecked from the ships passing up the channel during the 1980s.

ELIZABETH ANN STRATTON

Unlawful Flight To Avoid Prosecution - Parental Kidnapping

Aliases:

Elizabeth Ann Gould, Elizabeth Ann Mahon, Elizabeth Ann Pugh, Elizabeth Ann Smith, Beth Ann Smith, "Betty", "Beth"

Date(s) of Birth Used	November 3, 1958
Place of Birth	Inglewood, California
Hair	Blonde
Eyes	Blue
Height	5'7"
Weight	140 pounds
Sex	Female
Race	White

NCIC	W911503228

Remarks:

Stratton was a heavy smoker at the time of her disappearance. She may wear glasses. Stratton may have dyed her hair red or bleached it blonder. Stratton was issued a United States passport in August of 1997. She should be considered a flight risk.

Details:

On December 16, 1997, Elizabeth Ann Stratton fled her Antioch, California, home with her two non-custodial children. On December 19, 1997, a letter written by Stratton arrived at the Contra Costa County District Attorney's Office stating that she had taken the children, left California, and did not want anyone to find her or the children. Stratton was in the middle of a child custody dispute with her ex-husband at the time.

Her vehicle was later found parked at the Sacramento International Airport in Sacramento, California. It is believed that Stratton may have made contact with a group in Atlanta, Georgia, which assists women and children who claim to need protection from abusive husbands and parents.

A local complaint and arrest warrant for Stratton were issued by the Municipal Court in December of 1997 and she was charged with parental kidnapping. A federal warrant for Stratton for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution was obtained in the Northern District of California on January 12, 1998.

Stratton's two children were both safely located in 2010. She remains a fugitive.

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 249 - Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr., Hate Crimes Prevention Act 

This statute makes it unlawful to willfully cause bodily injury—or attempting to do so with fire, firearm, or other dangerous weapon—when 1) the crime was committed because of the actual or perceived race, color, religion, national origin of any person, or 2) the crime was committed because of the actual or perceived religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability of any person and the crime affected interstate or foreign commerce or occurred within federal special maritime and territorial jurisdiction.

The law also provides funding and technical assistance to state, local, and tribal jurisdictions to help them to more effectively investigate, prosecute, and prevent hate crimes.

The law provides for a maximum 10–year prison term, unless death (or attempts to kill) results from the offense, or unless the offense includes kidnapping or attempted kidnapping, or aggravated sexual abuse or attempted aggravated sexual abuse. For offenses not resulting in death, there is a seven–year statute of limitations. For offenses resulting in death, there is no statute of limitations.

Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 - Conspiracy Against Rights 

This statute makes it unlawful for two or more persons to conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person of any state, territory or district in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him/her by the Constitution or the laws of the United States, (or because of his/her having exercised the same).

It further makes it unlawful for two or more persons to go in disguise on the highway or on the premises of another with the intent to prevent or hinder his/her free exercise or enjoyment of any rights so secured.

Seeno FBI Probe came about because you fuck people over one person had bigger balls than you expected

Mr. Shahid, Consider yourself lucky, yor're still alive.

near Pete Bennett former database developer for Albert D. Seeno has endured a long run of murdered witnesses.

Yes he fucked you like he fucks everyone but I fucked him better than anyone - he didn't pay so I gave all his legal records to the FBI. Fuck you all and fuck all your, plebes, partners and thugs.

I did something for everybody - when Seeno didn't pay I gave the FBI everything needed to raid their offices. 

List Dead Seeno Witnesses 

Last spring, months after Ayman Shahid agreed to assist the FBI in its probe of the Seeno family and a mortgage fraud scam, Shahid’s former best friend Albert Seeno III delivered a “chilling death threat,” according to newly filed court records providing the first glimpse as to why the prominent East Bay homebuilder was arrested.

“Hey (expletive). You’re going down! I’m going to kill you! (expletive) you!” Seeno III said, hanging up, but not before Shahid’s new boss heard the exchange, according to a sentencing memorandum filed last week. Shahid, his wife and others say they have been intimidated and threatened by Seeno family members after the former Discovery Sales vice president decided to testify against the company.

Shahid’s Thursday sentencing is the final loose end resulting from a 2010 federal investigation that has led to nine other people already pleading guilty and being sentenced in cases involving Discovery Sales mortgage fraud. In addition, Discovery Sales has pleaded guilty to bank fraud and was fined $8 million and ordered to pay $3 million in restitution.

While no individual Seeno family members have been charged in the mortgage fraud scam, Seeno III was charged over the summer for the June 8, 2016 phone threat. The witness intimidation charge was eventually dropped.

“All charges against Albert Seeno were dismissed, entirely dismissed on the government’s own motion,” Seeno III’s attorney Cris Arguedas said. “After the government investigated the allegation, the government dismissed the case.”

In the charging documents, which have been sealed but are included in part in Shahid’s court documents, a case agent explained probable cause.

“Some of the most significant evidence against (Discovery Sales) … was provided to the government by Shahid,” according to an excerpt included in Shahid’s sentencing memorandum written by federal prosecutor John Hemann. The document described how in the phone call Shahid and his new boss were on speaker phone when Seeno III “ranted that he was going to ‘kill’ Shahid and that Shahid was ‘going down.’ ”

There also was a letter sent to the new boss about Shahid, but the FBI was not able to determine who sent the letter, Hemann wrote.

“There is no evidence that Shahid was ever in any actual danger and, though totally and completely inappropriate and potentially retaliatory in nature, it appears that his former boss was venting anger rather than actually threatening death or harm to Shahid,” Hemann wrote. “The government was not able to establish proof beyond a reasonable doubt whether Shahid’s former employer was motivated by retaliation for Shahid’s cooperation or anger as to the damage Shahid’s criminal conduct did to the Discovery Sales business.”

Shahid’s attorney Steven Madison alleged in court documents that his family has lived in fear since a series of threats.

“Seeno III is a powerful, wealthy man with a history of threatening conduct, and an experienced sharpshooter who also somehow still holds a permit to carry a concealed handgun apparently,” Madison wrote. “Mr. Seeno apparently does not dispute that he said he would kill Mr. Shahid, he simply claims he was angry and did not really mean it.”

Shahid and his wife, in letters to the federal judge hearing his case, described how Shahid and Seeno III met at De La Salle High School in Concord and became friends. Initially there was support from the Seeno family after Shahid’s indictment, they wrote.

“The day of Ayman’s indictment, Albert Seeno III called me from Africa, and said, ‘As God is my witness, my father and I will stand by Ayman, and I will always defend my incentives!’ ” wrote Fatima Shahid. But a month before Shahid’s indictment, the elder Seeno Jr. told Shahid he would kill anyone who tried to bring down his family, which led to the Shahids moving to Southern California.

“Shortly after Ayman’s agreement to cooperate with the government, we received a threatening letter to our home saying awful things about Ayman, me and even (our daughter),” Fatima wrote. She alleged an incident inside a Nordstrom store where a Seeno family member “stalked” her and “chased” her out of the store.

Shahid wrote that he lived in fear.

“Albert Seeno III — a violent, dangerous man … threatened to kill me last June, even though I had relocated myself and my family to Southern California to escape the threats and intimidation by the Seenos that was already occurring as a result of my cooperation with the government,” he wrote the judge.

It was not the first threat allegation against Seeno III.

In 2011, former Nevada lobbyist Harvey Whittemore claimed in a civil suit that Seeno III threatened to break his legs if he didn’t make a payment in a development deal, and that Seeno associates forcibly took jewelry, expensive clothing and other personal assets as payment from his house. A Nevada employee sued the Seenos claiming “corporate bullying,” and said Seeno III threatened him with dealing with people in the “Seeno Way.”
