    In Samreen Riaz v. State Of California, et al., F087504, California Court of Appeals, Fifth District (December 2, 2024) the California Court of Appeals found itself asked to resolve suits against an individual and the state of California from an inadequate but excessively litigious plaintiff.

    FACTS

    Samreen Riaz was a licensed dentist – she lost her license to practice because of the facts underlying this case. According to her, there is an elaborate conspiracy to harass, stalk, threaten, and ultimately prevent her from testifying in a separate “whistleblower” case involving “OSHA and HIPPA Violations” at a medical facility.

    Riaz sued raising numerous claims against numerous individuals and government entities. The opposing parties challenged the complaint’s viability through demurrer and anti-SLAPP proceedings. The trial court sustained the demurrers and granted the anti-SLAPP motion, leaving Riaz with no viable claim. Riaz appealed.

    BACKGROUND

    The facts underlying this case involve four discrete events.

    First: Riaz sued a medical facility and suffered an alleged eye injury while attempting to testify in that case.

    Second: She sought treatment for that eye injury but was refused service and then sued that doctor in small claims court.

    Third: That doctor reported Riaz to the Dental Board of California which, in turn, initiated mental health competence proceedings against Riaz.

    Fourth: Riaz’s license to practice dentistry was revoked, and she filed the complaint at issue in this case.
    Initial Lawsuit Against Medical Facility

    Acting as a “whistleblower,” Riaz “disclosed … OSHA, Hippa, recruited patient, potential insurance fraud and anti-competent activities in the market” at a medical facility.

    After filing a lawsuit on that basis, Riaz claimed she suffered “organized harassment,” culminating in “permanent eye damage” after a sheriff-department employee pointed a finger in her face while attempting to enter the courthouse in her “whistleblower” case.

    Visiting Doctor for Eye Injury

    Riaz visited Dr. Cantrell to treat an eye injury. She claimed Cantrell became combative, refused to answer Riaz’s questions, and declined to treat Riaz. The next day, Riaz filed a complaint with the Medical Board of California.

    Several days later, she filed a small claims case against Cantrell, essentially alleging discrimination, negligence, and retaliation. A small claims judgment was eventually entered in Cantrell’s favor.

    Report to Dental Board

    Cantrell reported Riaz to the Dental Board. The Dental Board issued an order to Riaz to comply with a mental health examination “to evaluate her fitness to practice safely ….” (See Bus. &Prof. Code, § 820.) Riaz failed to comply with the order. Since Riaz continued to disobey the order, her license to practice dentistry was ultimately revoked.

    Instant Complaint and Judgment

    Riaz sued Cantrell, various government entities, and several individuals working for those entities (collectively, the State). The complaint alleged an elaborate conspiracy among all the defendants to injure Riaz, to intimidate her to prevent her from testifying, and to retaliate against her for the “whistleblower” case.

    The trial court sustained the demurrers and granted the anti-SLAPP motion resulting in total dismissal.

    DISCUSSION

    Did the trial court err in granting the anti-SLAPP motion?

    Did it err in sustaining the demurrers?

    The California Court of Appeals concluded the trial court did not err.
    Anti-SLAPP Motion

    In the anti-SLAPP motion, Cantrell argued his furnishing information to the Dental Board was protected activity and defeated claims “for discrimination, fraud, defamation, retaliation[,] and intentional infliction of emotional distress[.]”

    In opposition to the anti-SLAPP motion, Riaz claimed again Cantrell “made inaccurate, knowingly misleading statements to the [D]ental [B]oard to defame and harm [Riaz] based on disclosing patient information.” The trial court concluded furnishing those documents to the board constituted protected activity.

    ANALYSIS

    Litigation of an anti-SLAPP motion involves a two-step process. First, the moving defendant bears the burden of establishing that the challenged allegations or claims that arise from protected activity in which the defendant has engaged. Second, for each claim that does arise from protected activity, the plaintiff must show the claim has at least minimal merit. If the plaintiff cannot make this showing, the court will, and did, strike the claim.

    If there is no merit, the claim is stricken. The Court of Appeals noted that Riaz failed to adduce any evidence-including exhibits, declarations, judicial notice, and testimony-to substantiate her allegation Cantrell reported her to the Dental Board for retribution. She failed to adduce admissible evidence on the point.

    DEMURRERS

    Both Cantrell and the State filed demurrers to Riaz’s complaint..

    Additional Background

    A small claims plaintiff is collaterally estopped from relitigating the same issue in superior court where the record is sufficiently clear to determine that the issue was litigated and decided against plaintiff in the small claims action.

    Governmental immunity is an affirmative defense properly raised by demurrer. Government Code section 821.6 immunizes public employees from liability for ‘instituting or prosecuting any judicial or administrative proceeding’ within the scope of their employment, even if the employees act ‘maliciously and without probable cause.

    Riaz alleged her claims arose in July 2022. Her written government claim was submitted in April 2023, more than six months later. Accordingly, the claims were barred, at least insofar as they stemmed from the section 820 order.
    CONCLUSION AND SUMMARY

    Riaz failed to allege colorable claims against either Cantrell or the State. The potential claims against Cantrell were either tried and resolved against her in small claims court or dismissed pursuant to the anti-SLAPP statute. The potential claims against the State were either barred for failure to timely present them under the Government Claims Act, or the State was immune under Government Code sections 821.6, 818.4, and 821.2.

    ZALMA OPINION

    It is axiomatic that a person who represents himself has a fool for a client. The litigation history, the multiple actions, and the lack of consistency and evidence, establish that Dr. Cantrell was correct when he advised the Dental Board that a mental health examination to evaluate her fitness to practice safely…” was correct. She refused to fulfill her obligation to the Dental Board to be evaluated because she was concerned she would not pass. This case is an abuse of Doctor Cantrell and the state and should have resulted in serious sanctions.

  • Intent to Move is not a Residence

    Residence Premises Requires the Insured to Live in Residence

    Post 4944

    In Paul Villalobos v. Clear Blue Insurance Company, No. 24-20125, United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit (December 10, 2024) the the Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissa of Plaintiff-Appellant Paul Villalobos’s breach of contract claim following a coverage dispute between himself and his insurer, Clear Blue Insurance Company, because he admitted he did not live in the insured premises.

    FACTS

    Villalobos is named on a Clear Blue homeowners’ policy, which provides coverage for property located at 7503 Muirwood Lane in Houston, Texas (the “Property”). The policy’s “Property Coverages” section states in pertinent part: “We cover . . . [t]he dwelling on the ‘residence premises’ shown in the Declarations.” The policy defines “residence premises,” also in pertinent part, as “[t]he one-family dwelling where you reside . . . on the inception date of the policy period shown in the Declarations.” The Declarations page lists Villalobos as the insured, his mailing address as the Property, and the inception date as September 21, 2021.

    In mid-November 2021, Villalobos reported to Clear Blue that wind and hail had damaged the Property’s roof earlier that month. Clear Blue denied coverage after Villalobos admitted he lived in Colorado and had never resided at the Property.

    Villalobos sued Clear Blue, alleging breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, violations of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act and the Texas Insurance Code, fraud, and ongoing conspiracy to commit illegal acts.

    ANALYSIS

    During his deposition, Villalobos testified that he lived in Colorado for over nine years and did not reside at the Property when the Clear Blue policy went into effect. Clear Blue moved for summary judgment on Villalobos’s claims, arguing there was no insurance coverage for Villalobos’s property damage as a matter of law.

    Applying Louisiana law, the Fifth Circuit has previously determined that an identical residence requirement in a homeowners’ insurance policy required “more than purchasing a home or intending to move into it.” GeoVera Specialty Ins. Co. v. Joachin, 964 F.3d 390, 393 (5th Cir. 2020).

    Applying Joachin the Fifth Circuit agreed with the district court that the Property did not satisfy the policy’s residence requirement and was not a covered “residence premises” because: it is undisputed that Villalobos did not reside on the Property on the inception date of the Clear Blue policy; and
    Villalobos’s only material argument on appeal is that he intended to move onto the Property.

    Joachin held that “intending to move” is not enough. The Fifth Circuit concluded that there is no coverage under the policy. Accordingly, Villalobos’s breach of contract claim failed and the USDC’s judgment was affirmed.

    ZALMA OPINION

    That something as obvious as a home in Texas cannot be the residence premises of a person who lives full time in Colorado. Insurers issue property insurance policies providing coverage similar to a homeowners policy to the owner of a rental property while a homeowners policy limits coverage to the person who actually resides at the property. That this case went to the Fifth Circuit was the waste of Plaintiff’s time and money, the waste of the time of the trial court, and the waste of the time of the Fifth Circuit who rendered a concise and clear opinion. A less kind judge or appellate court would have imposed sanctions on the party plaintiff and his counsel.

  • Tiny Homes NOT Allowed: County Commissioners & State Rep SLAM Youtuber For Standing Up For the Poor!

    The prohibition of tiny homes in Haywood County has sparked significant controversy, especially after YouTuber John Ward's video on the subject went viral, prompting a county commissioners' meeting. In his video, Ward highlights the county's refusal to permit tiny homes for victims of Hurricane Helene, questioning whether the commissioners will act to prevent residents from freezing this winter.
    Commissioner Terry Ramey has advocated for suspending certain housing regulations to assist flood survivors, emphasizing the urgency of providing warm shelter. He has collaborated with local churches to develop temporary "Rustic Cabins" for those still living in tents. However, these structures have faced pushback for not meeting residential building codes, as they lack required amenities like bathrooms.
    Ramey plans to address this issue at the upcoming county commissioners' meeting, seeking temporary relief from stringent codes to ensure residents have safe and warm accommodations during the winter. He acknowledges potential criticism from his appearance in Ward's video but remains committed to aiding his constituents.
    The debate underscores the challenges of balancing regulatory compliance with immediate humanitarian needs, especially in the aftermath of natural disasters.

  • Vaccine Propaganda and Coercion

    We ALL should now KNOW FOR CERTAIN the reason for the coercion, unlawful #Discrimination, Dancing Nurses, and the unlawful "Vaccine Mandates" (For a GENE THERAPY, not a vaccine) the #Censorship of truthful information, the "Fact-Checking" #Propaganda, and the numerous other violations of the #NurembergCode that were committed by the corporation you call "#Government" were designed to coerce the people into taking a #DNA altering "GENE THERAPY" in violation of every medical ethics rule ever made, to get people to take a #WEAPON of #Genocide

    Those guilty of this #CrimeAgainstHumanity must have figured that everyone who could possibly hold them accountable for this demonic act would be DEAD!

    It's about time to hold those responsible accountable!
    There was NOTHING "innocent" about this operation!

    This was not done "in good faith" as they want you to believe!
    This was done to further the #Depopulation Agenda of madmen and #Luciferians (who run every "government" on earth)

    EVERYTHING about this #HOAX was designed to get you to allow a WEAPON to be injected into your body! And if you cannot clearly see as much... YOU MUST BE BLIND!

    OR you are in a trance from watching their #MKUltra #MindControl propaganda on television, and in radio.

    EVERYTHING on television is designed to put you into a hypnotic state and manipulate your reality and control your mind

    TO THIS DAY THERE HAVE BEEN NO ARRESTS MADE
    of those responsible for this attack on all of mankind!

    That tells me that #Police and #LawEnforcement, and even the #Courts are ALL COMPLICIT IN THESE CRIMES!

    These people THINK they will go unpunished for these crimes...
    It is time for humanity to prove them WRONG!

    It is time for people to be HELD ACCOUNTABLE!
    And that includes ALL "Law Enforcement" Agencies and political #Parasites who have failed to take action and to STOP the continuing distribution of these weapons of genocide!

    The #WHO and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Fauci, and the EcoHealth Alliance, and the DOD, FDA, and #CDC are all also complicit in these crimes.

    As are platforms like FaceBook, YouTube, and Google who ALL used #Censorship to prevent LIFE SAVING INFORMATION to get out to the public, which quite possibly could have saved many lives!

    Vaccine Propaganda and Coercion We ALL should now KNOW FOR CERTAIN the reason for the coercion, unlawful #Discrimination, Dancing Nurses, and the unlawful "Vaccine Mandates" (For a GENE THERAPY, not a vaccine) the #Censorship of truthful information, the "Fact-Checking" #Propaganda, and the numerous other violations of the #NurembergCode that were committed by the corporation you call "#Government" were designed to coerce the people into taking a #DNA altering "GENE THERAPY" in violation of every medical ethics rule ever made, to get people to take a #WEAPON of #Genocide Those guilty of this #CrimeAgainstHumanity must have figured that everyone who could possibly hold them accountable for this demonic act would be DEAD! It's about time to hold those responsible accountable! There was NOTHING "innocent" about this operation! This was not done "in good faith" as they want you to believe! This was done to further the #Depopulation Agenda of madmen and #Luciferians (who run every "government" on earth) EVERYTHING about this #HOAX was designed to get you to allow a WEAPON to be injected into your body! And if you cannot clearly see as much... YOU MUST BE BLIND! OR you are in a trance from watching their #MKUltra #MindControl propaganda on television, and in radio. EVERYTHING on television is designed to put you into a hypnotic state and manipulate your reality and control your mind TO THIS DAY THERE HAVE BEEN NO ARRESTS MADE of those responsible for this attack on all of mankind! That tells me that #Police and #LawEnforcement, and even the #Courts are ALL COMPLICIT IN THESE CRIMES! These people THINK they will go unpunished for these crimes...

  • It seems to be a really big issue with the Atheists.....

    They will claim "It requires no #Faith to be an #Atheist!"
    "We are simply saying that we don't believe YOUR explanation!"

    But actually....
    It DOES require Faith!

    Because there is a large body of #Evidence supporting people's belief in the Most High...
    and they are choosing to disregard that evidence, in most cases, in favor of an explanation like....

    ‘From Absolutely Nothing:’ The Logical Extension Of Atheism
    The logical conclusion of atheism is the belief that there was once Absolutely Nothing. For a very, very long time, Absolutely Nothing did absolutely nothing. But one day, without warning, Absolutely Nothing created Everything, for no apparent reason. It did this in a magical explosion which came from Absolutely Nothing. For a very long time after this, the Everything that came from Absolutely Nothing was completely dead. The Dead Everything just drifted around, randomly clumping together, eventually forming stars and planets, solar systems and galaxies, powerful black holes and beautiful gas nebulae. Absolutely Nothing taught it how to do this. On Earth, the Dead Everything formed itself into oceans and islands, stunningly beautiful mountain ranges, magnificent waterfalls, deep valleys, monumental glaciers and warm tropical beaches. Absolutely Nothing taught the Dead Everything that used to be nothing how to do this.

    But there was no life. Dead Everything was completely dead. Not a single living cell. Not a blade of grass. Not the smallest microbe in the ocean. Just dead, inanimate matter. But then another magical thing happened. One day, without warning, for no reason whatsoever, Dead Everything magically created living cells. We have no idea how Dead Everything did this, because we still can’t do this today, despite all our technology and the accumulated wisdom of our greatest scientific minds. The Dead Everything must have been extremely clever, probably because it was taught by Absolutely Nothing. We also don’t know why Dead Everything isn’t still creating living cells from dead matter today. Perhaps Absolutely Nothing originally told Dead Everything how to do it, but now Dead Everything has forgotten.

    Anyway, the magical living cells, created by Dead Everything had no intelligence of their own, yet they eventually formed themselves into grass and trees, fish and birds, insects and reptiles, and mammals of all shapes and sizes. Absolutely Nothing told the magical living cells how to do this. Absolutely Nothing did this by creating a highly complex biological coding, called DNA, that it placed inside every living cell. This is a coded set of instructions more complex than the most sophisticated computers mankind has ever built. Absolutely Nothing eventually gave every living cell a complete set of these instructions, involving literally billions of lines of specific biological code, telling each cell how to grow into all the different lifeforms that we see today.

    Absolutely Nothing told some living cells how to eventually grow into Atheists. Atheists believe in Absolutely Nothing. They have told the rest of us how Absolutely Nothing created Dead Everything in the beginning and how Absolutely Nothing then magically created the living world that we see around us today. We don’t know how Atheists learned about all this, since they weren’t there in the beginning when all of this supposedly happened. Perhaps Absolutely Nothing told them. Atheists have also told the rest of us that when we die, we go to Absolutely Nothing and turn into Absolutely Nothing ourselves. This is very exciting news! In the meantime, this understanding of our origins and eventual destiny gives us meaning and purpose. Since we now know that we came from Absolutely Nothing and will return to Absolutely Nothing, we can live our whole lives for Absolutely Nothing. Our ethics and morals are based upon Absolutely Nothing, and we serve Absolutely Nothing faithfully. Thank goodness for Atheism.

    Atheists. And they mock Christian beliefs!

    Anything you say......
    **Smile and Nod**

    Personally.... I don't really care WHAT you believe!
    But when you attack my beliefs I feel the need to point out the flaws in your own

    The EUO is a Material Condition Precedent
    A Key Tool in the Effort to Reduce Fraud
    Claim Properly Denied for Refusal to Testify at EUO

    Thanksgiving Wishes from the Zalma Family

    My family and I have much to be thankful for this year. My first born daughter, Stephanie Zalma, continues to care for my wife 24 hours a day 7 days a week with love and patience as Thea continues as Nana to our two grandchildren and the loving mother of our three children.

    After receiving a new Aortic Heart Valve I am personally in good health, walking about 25 miles a week. Exercising my, apparently unusual mode of retirement, I work only six to eight hours a day doing what I love the most, writing about insurance, insurance claims, insurance law and acting as an insurance claims consultant and expert witness.

    This is ZIFL’s thirty eighth installment of the saga of McClenny, Moseley & Associates and its problems with the federal courts in the State of Louisiana and what appears to be an effort to profit from what some Magistrate and District judges may be criminal to profit from insurance claims relating to hurricane damage to the public of the state of Louisiana.

    Ethical Behavior & Insurance

    Insurance, from the time of its first agreement to the present day has always been a business requiring ethical behavior between the insurer and the insured and between the insured and the insurer.

    The concept of ethical behavior refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe what humans ought to do, usually in terms of rights, obligations, benefits to society, fairness, or specific virtues, all of which are essential to the lawyer.

    Ethics refers to those standards that impose the reasonable obligations to refrain from murder, rape, theft, assault, slander, and fraud. Ethical standards also include those that imply virtues of honesty, compassion, and loyalty.

    There are rights presumed to exist such as those described in the Declaration of Independence submitted to King George of England in 1776 that held:

    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

    The unalienable rights also include the right to life, the right to freedom from injury, and the right to liberty. Such standards are adequate standards of ethics because they are supported by consistent and well-founded reasons.

    Mary Smettler-Bolton, 71, of Oakland County, Michigan was convicted November 22, 2024 for her role in a conspiracy to defraud the United States and receive illegal health care kickbacks.

    According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Mary referred Medicare beneficiaries to several Metro Detroit home health companies in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks paid by the owners and operators of the home health companies. Over the course of four years, she and her co-conspirators caused over $1.4 million of loss to Medicare.

    Smettler-Bolton was convicted of one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States and receive illegal health care kickbacks and one count of violating the federal Anti-Kickback Statute. She is scheduled to be sentenced on March 3, 2025, and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison on the conspiracy count and a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison on the kickback count. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

    The Examination Under Oath Is Not Part of a Judicial Process

    Although the EUO is a formal proceeding it is not part of a judicial process nor is it subject to the rules set out by codes of civil procedure. There is no right to object to questions and never a judge present to rule on the objections. The testimony at the EUO is required to be presented in accordance with the obligation imposed on an insured to deal fairly and in good faith with the insurer.
