PART 1
Written by Lauren Spitzberg and Alisa Spitzberg
Twenty two months after it began, and at the end of a twelve day trial,we walked out of the Clara Foltz Courthouse feeling devastated rather than elated.
We'd fought and fought and fought. And, on paper - we won. Big. Huge. A tiny trio against powerful armies.
David Vs. Goliath, was how the public defender who took the case to trial would describe it.
All seven sham charges,added over 23 months were lost by the prosecutors.
Four dismissed a week before trial by city attorney Martin Boags, when our witnesses all agreed to testify at trial.
Two charges acquitted by the judge after presentation of the prosecutors case. The last surviving charge - dismissed in the the interests of justice, by the same judge - Randolph J. Moore.
Any lawyer can confirm - these are almost unheard of dispositions on the three charges. It is very rare for a judge to breach,"the separation of powers," and not only acquit charges, but after a hung jury- to forbid the prosecutors a retrial and dismiss the charge, "in the interest of justice."
We won't even touch the four charges dismissed by Martin Boags, a week before trial. Yet.
The saga that began on, April 7th 2008, appeared to be over and yet it wasn't over at all. There would be so much needed to make us whole/ redress our grievance/ make it right blah blah blah.
Free at last. Free at last. The constant plea offers made by the prosecutors refused and refused and here we were in a position to prove that all along my sister stood firm for good reason.
No convictions. No probation. A paper trail that we were sure would lead to our delayed justice.
Spared the absurd spectacle of this Tig Notaro reading a "victim impact statement,"
Spared the innocent, but being sentenced scenario - where you have no choice but to look contrite as a judge castigates you for your non existent crimes.
Freed from the clutches of what we'd come to see was a set up. A tiny trio up against a conspiracy of creeps - who wanted to win at all costs.
Free, but with reputations ruined. Privacy invaded. Peace of mind shredded. Money and years stolen. Faith lost. Too much Latin legalese learned.
It started with Service of a Temporary Restraining order on May 7th 2008.
Served on my sister by Detective John Gregozek.
Restraining orders:
Words that brought to mind crazed obsessives in Lifetime movies, or on the ID channel. People rejected by real lovers or imaginary lovers, needing a judge to sign a piece of paper, because they could not grasp the concept of, "Go away!"
(In short, people who do not share the same planet as my sister. She is the last person who'd get a real one, and the one she'd end up with was not a real one, from the start.)
Here and there,though, you'd hear something sexier getting served. Something involving a celebrity stalker. Some sad soul: sitting in a basement. Mouth open to breathe. Eyes shut to dream. Then, eyes snap open to reveal a peculiar mix of menace and never to be requited desire.
I've since learned that this particularly pathetic form of pathos is rarer than you'd think. Talking about restraining orders and stalking has become a big joke, but actually, it's not as a pervasive problem for law enforcement, as you might think.
Despite the dearth of actual stalking cases, and the rarity of actual celebrity stalkers - Los Angeles, has seen fit to fund a whole unit - devoted to protecting the famous from this particular pathology.
Members of this specially trained unit accompany the scared celebrities to every court date, and advise them how to stay safe till the stalker is safely locked away. They speak to family and friends of the celebrity, to counsel them on how to keep an eye out for the perpetrator, and what measures to take if this deranged individual gets too close. They profess to have the kind of expertise that sets them apart and justifies the founding of a whole unit devoted to this specialized stalking crime.
They have a famous psychiatrist on staff (Kris Mohondie) and they have mental health units (SMART) at the ready. They prepare extensively to assure their celebrity is granted those restraining orders,by preparing affidavits and evidence to present to the courts.
Here is but one example, involving Jennifer Aniston, and the same LAPD unit, and law firm, maintained against my sister, and then me - Lavely and Singer
http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/0720_aniston_2.pdf
When you see the ones filed for Mathilde "Tig" Notaro you'll see why this is significant.
Back to the Threat Management Unit, and what they're supposed to do.
Members of this unit attend seminars, give speeches, and write books. They hold conventions at Disneyland. They even had a whole Primetime TV series devoted to their specialty. (Named, "Stalker." Thankfully. cancelled early on.)
The Detectives in this so called, "Elite Unit" go to fancy homes to meet with their famous "Vics" (Victims) and they live in much nicer homes, than the poor sods who taser South Centralites for a living. They even have their own acronym... The TMU.
 |
| Detective Martha Defoe, Head of the Unit - Jeffrey Dunn, and James Hoffman. All would play a part in Case 8CA10541 |
And, on a sunny day in May of 2008, two members of the TMU, knocked on our door, and introduced themselves only as, "LAPD"
We'll get back to that Knock. The Knock that led to Gregozek serving the temporary order. The temporary restraining order that led a kangaroo hearing with Judge Gerald Rosenberg. A hearing so kangaroo that there had to be an appeal of that order. Then when a defamation suit was filed by my sister...
Suing Notaro for defamation led Notaro to once again call on Nick Kroll, who again got Lavely and Singer, and then all those people pushed Gregozek to do what he could to impress upon various judges and prosecutors that my sister was breaking laws, and deserved prosecution.
Based on Gregozeks' bad faith "reports," one city attorney (Phyliss Henderson) agreed to press one charge - a misdemeanor - that would be pursued as if it was a triple homicide (seven search warrants overall. Six of those " special circumstance" Warrants reserved for pedophiles, and terrorists. then competency schemes, then lawless jailing, then a twelve day trial etc.)
That one bogus charge, didn't induce my sister to accept to accept a plea bargain of "informal diversion" on October 16th 2008, and so they had to find away to get that plea. (The plea would insulate all involved, till that point, from the liability that would be expected when you are a part of a malicious prosecution that has caused great damage.)
When I sued Notaro for defamation(after learning she'd been defaming too)Marty Singer's second hand woman, Allison Hart Sievers, ordered Gregozek and city attorney, Kelly Boyer, to add more charges, using more false allegations. I did not know that a civil attorney can do that, but that is what happened.
FYI: After securing illegal exigent circumstance warrants, no evidence of any of the allegations made by Lavely and Singer lawyer was found.
But that didn't stop John Gregozek from trying to make Nick Kroll and Marty Singer happy, as you will see.
Did they add charges based on those orders and false allegations, from a famed Entertainment firm lawyer, named Allison Hart Sievers ?
Or more exactly, did Kelly, "Dear Kelly" Boyer add the four charges that John Gregozek would claim she did here:
The answer is that Kelly Boyer refused to add any charges, because she knew this was a vendetta, and that something was very wrong. But, that didn't stop John Gregozek from writing that she added FOUR charges on January 26th of 2009.
But, John Gregozek was so sure that she would that he wrote this out, and who knows who saw it, along the way.
Lavely and Singer's clients: Bill Cosby, John Travolta, Bryan Singer, Charlie Sheen, Sylvester Stallone, Scientology, Jennifer Aniston, and Tig Notaro?
The attempt to add those charges, led to a Stalinesque competency scheme - that got super sinister.
The competency plot part, led to an eighteen men raid - replete with battering ram, bullet proof vests and black cone shaped hats
That's me in the middle with arms crossed:
Parts of the videos that were edited, but were handed over for a civil rights suit. (Please watch, and context is coming.)
.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKWmLM048bE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzfeW9C58Jg
The 18 man raid, led me and mother to be detained in a hall, as my sister was carted off to jail with no charges, and no legal basis for any raid, arrest or search. And, so we were sure she'd be let out the next day when our lawyer came to court.
Instead, she would be jailed for 31 days, with a bail set for serial killers - meaning no bail.
During her stay (AKA coercive confinement) in Lynwood Correctional Facility, all attempts were made to close the deal.
 |
| Notice there is no date... When I asked why later on... No one would tell me but one told me that was "very unusual." |
Do whatever it took to make sure nothing happened that would open what the trial judge would call, "The Pandora's box."
 |
| it is believed that Notaro was writing such messages to herself or such messages never were sent by anyone.no link was ever found that my sister or I or anyone she knows wrote it. Please Look at October 15th 2009,and know that there is no law or basis for Judge Maria Stratton to have had such intent. Also note... no mention of the 18 officers who actually came. |
Patton:
Not a home for ex military heros, but a state hospital for the criminally insane.
For more than a month we faced the specter of Patton. We'd pictured Patton as place where my sister played cards with Andrea Yates, John Hinckley Junior, a couple of school shooters and a Cannibal.
And, my sister would be losing every game, because according the documents, she was ordered to be "forcibly medicated" until deemed competent to stand the trial.
 |
| in my sister's 46 years, she's only been diagnosed with depression. Never with Manic depression. Please google Khaushal Sharma appeal to see who he is... Also many lawyers afterwards told us he is the "worst kind of whore." He actually didn't ask my sister any questions, and spoke to her less than five minutes before filing this. He spoke of how she protested too much and made comically sinister mocking faces. The court file attests to the fact that not one other document, other than Gregozek's falsified reports were used to get me committed to a State hospital for the criminally insane. |
But, they were foiled, by a few twists of fate. One in the form of a real forensic psychiatrist - Dr. Suzanne Dupee.
and we saw Judge Maria Stratton
actually pout as she put a cross through some page on her desk.
Later we found out what she crossed out.
which forced them to return my sister to the criminal court. A new definition of luck....
Back to the Criminal court and lots and lots more led tos - that led to a 12 day kangaroo trial.
An actual Judge. An Actual Jury. 4 days of Voire Dire. J( more Latin learned.)
Inside and out of court, A literal phalanx of prosecutors on I phones, strategizing zealously to win -- the misdemeanor of the century.
My sister's public defender Alissa Malzman Sterling had said to my sister extreme dismay, "Martin Boags is trying to make his name on your case. But then so I am I. " Then she paused to add, " That is wrong. this is about you and how you are being maliciously prosecuted."
Then, a twelve day trial.A trial that started and stopped, and started and stopped, as they tried to add more charges, but were stopped by the trial judge, Randolph Moore.
A trial with a scene like this: another prosecutor, coming into court, to get the judge thrown off for saying stuff like " I don't think this is a criminal matter. This belongs in the Civil Courts. and him angrily telling Felise, "Backfat" Kalpakian to get the hell out.
This astute observation, that this was all retaliation for the defamation suit - led Judge Randolph Moore to take the very rare measure, of taking it upon himself to acquit two charges and to dismiss the last surviving charge - in the interests of justice.
Which led to Civil Rights suits that met with mystifying dismissals. Which led to a five year flash forward, where a chance internet search led us to this. https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Ian_Puddick
After reading that, so much of this could be summed up with two words- Nick Kroll.
 |
| As a means to acheive fame Nick Kroll has pics of himself inserted into frames and then insterting into stores so unwitting shoppers can .... subconciously .... see him as famous?! |
Let's lead us to the present - November 2015 -
And to me - having to write something that sounds this insane. But,since I am not insane, I know how insane it sounds.
Let's pause here. Doctors and judges and prosecutors said your sister is insane. Is she?
My answer: She's the sanest person, I've ever met. Before, Nick Kroll, call on his connections in the court, and before this prosecution decided they have to win at all cost, no one has ever regarded as crazy, in any way...
Here she is to try and uh confirm that.
No, it's too insane, you might still say. But, you are the sister? double delusion of the elobarate kind! Someone should be studying these sisters. The two of you actually think a massive conspiracy involving tons of people took place here?
The answer is yes, and you will agree with that assessment, if you stay with me.
You must be wondering.... Who is this celebrity?
As private defense lawyer no. 1 - Howard Williams, described this person.... "These people are commandeering the justice system..."

Hi Alisa,
I understand your frustration, I really do. These people are obviously commandeering the justice system for their own petty purposes and it needs to stop. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that the system knows it's being commandeered, and it comes down to your word against hers and the DA and cop who inexplicably believe her.
I will walk in on the 16th a motion, probably the Pitchess and the discovery motion. I will bring the motion to dismiss once we complete those motions, as we will perhaps have more information to support the dismissal at that point. In fact, I foresee bringing the motion to dismiss on multiple occasions before and during trial.
As far as depositions are concerned, we're going to have to wait on that. We are not entitled to a deposition in a criminal proceeding, only to have her on the stand to confront and cross-examine at the trial. The deposition is for the civil suit, which must necessarily happen after the criminal case is over.
Drumroll. Spotlight. Reveal.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's.... Tig Notaro.
Huh. Who? Tig Notaro. Uh. Tig Notaro who?
Tig Notaro is who.
Tig Notaro AKA Mathilde Notaro. A stand up comedian. Maybe you've heard of her now, but nobody knew of her then. Including us.
Why might that name now sound familiar?
Cause she had cancer see. Went on a stage, see. Announced on a stage that the cancer was advanced, see. Noted (un-originally) that Time and Tragedy equals comedy, and she didn't have time, see.
Lots of press. Louis CK peddling an audio of the set. A massive(and highly suspicious) press push to make Miss Notaro... "Happen."
Considering the state of her health four years later, and then the state of her cancer stories, she had plenty of time and no tragedy.
Two years after the criminal trial, when we learned of her "cancer set", We saw her cancer as comeuppance, and looked forward to following her journey to decay and death. My sweet sister confided to me, she'd accept Notaro's deathbed apology. I told her I would not.
Alas, before we could pop one kernel of popcorn, we'd learn that she was beating Cancer with a whole new series of highly inconsistent statements.
Inconsistent cancer story statements: Things like telling certain press outlets she was on chemo. Then it was natural treatments all along. Then the I'm sick from radiation and can't do comedy story. A month later she was beating cancer with hormone blockers with five wildly varying start dates. one right after a mastectomy. one time it was a year after. then it was two years after when raw foods became
Then she forget all that and went back to how all along it's just been raw foods etc. She'd even told a Peter Holmes(on his podcast, "Make it Weird.) that she loved having cancer.
So, in short, Cancer was not ...Cancer, but the best thing ever.
But I digress, one true conspiracy at a time.
Let's segue back to the beginning -The nitty gritty behind the allegations that that led to all those led tos.
Chapter 2- Back to the Knock
There's nothing tentative about a cop's knock. No knuckle wraps. Just a closed fist punching sideways. Two very tall men in good suits,stood in the doorway. They introduced themselves as "L.A.P.D responding to a "crime report."
It's important to note that though seeing cops at your door is rarely an occasion to bring out the Champagne, we were happy to see them. Nearly Champagne happy.
We had tried to talk sense to this Tig. To give her a chance to explain herself, and ideally - to say sorry. How it must be one of the mistaken identity situations. We'd give her such an obviously false out. She'd tell my sister : Of course you never hit me. I had no right to have you kicked out of largo under such false and destructive pretenses. This wasn't a McDonald's. This was a comedy venue. What I did could effectively ruin any comedy career.
And, yet those efforts to get the deserved response, where met with hostility and abuse by her, and then a bunch of strangers.
Now here, in our house, where were two strapping officers of the LAPD.
Once they heard the story,they'd set things straight.
So my sister starts the story, and right away, Gregozek ( the guy acting bad cop,) starting shush shush shushing her.
" Shh Shh She. Let me talk."
"Ok"
" Have you been writing on the internet about her?"
"Yeah."
Gregozek gave her a, 'Aha you admitted it look.'
And she gave him a, 'Yeah I admitted it so what look'
"Why have you been writing about her on the internet?"
"Well she's been telling owners of clubs that I go to and need to go to, that I've been hitting her... that I hit her 9 months before and that now I came to a club to be "aggressive with her."And none of that happened. I came to L.A to do comedy. Those kinds of lies can ruin my life."
"Shhh"
"I don't even know her. After I realized that she really was intent on hurting me, I thought if I could just appeal to her humanity.Then my sister gave it a try. I wanted to gain insight into this strange person who for some reason thinks it's ok or fun to tell people I go around beating her up.Would you like if someone went around lying about you? Say you were applying to the police academy, and some recruit is telling the brass, and everyone, that you're a violent nut?"
No response, before Gregozek produced a ream of papers his bag. Is this the site you've been writing on? He wouldn't show what it was.
But since I only had written on one site, I assumed it was datalounge. ( A gossipy website populated by funny people and what appeared to be a fair share of Hollywood insiders.
It's tagline - wit, wisdom and random bitchery.
"If that's datalounge... Yeah."
He gave her another aha admission face- as if he was getting a full confession to a serious crime.
" well if you have it right there you know there are no threats. nothing remotely illegal. Read it... other people wrote so much stuff about her. Not just me."
Tig Notaro's life mission was to become a "public figure,"so to our delight some of the Datalounge members knew of her, and gave us some succor. Some knew her personally.A few said she was a creep. Two told us they'd known her, and they strongly suspected she was sociopath. One told us how she was known as a predator- whose preference was straight or straight seeming seeming blondes. Another poster told us that she surrounded herself with out of work comedians, who secretly hated her, but used her for her connections. One poster relayed that Tig Notaro had sent a bloody tampon to her mother on Mother's day.
" The tampon thing..... I don't know of it's true, but I wouldn't past someone whose capable of this."
"We'll look at it later. Second question: " Did you say Sarah Silverman Sucked."
"Did I say Sarah Silverman Sucked? No actually I didn't. I do think she sucks but I didn't say it. I might have said her show sucked..... Wait....why would that matter?
(Was there a new statute on the books that made it illegal to cast aspersions on Sarah Silverman and Tig Notaro?)
So far the crime report was dissing Silverman, and double dissing Notaro.
Which led my sister to get a gut feeling ( based on their questions and whole demeanor throughout) which led her forget the we ask the questions command.
" I don't think you are real police. Are you real police?"
They chuckled in unison, and then they set what we'd assume were transcripts of the message board aside, with a let's get this over with sigh.
What we weren't up to.
This is where it gets tricky. Because this whole thing is predicated on the fact that there is no smoke to this fire. Surely a puff? Maybe, a swirl? No. All of the smoke was make believe,on their parts. And since the smoke was being manufactured by forces we didn't then understand - the smoke would be submitted to various courts as real fire. We'll get to that.
So this is what we're going to do. First, I'm going to tell you what the cops told us Tig told them. A vague but disturbing account about what they'd been told, we'd been up to.
Then, I'm going to tell you a condensed version of all the different versions that Notaro and Willen would put in police reports, affidavits, to judges, to investigators, to prosecutors, and to a jury.
Then, I'm going to post a printout of the versions. There are even more. And I'd be happy to show those too.
And then, I'm going to tell you that witnesses with nothing to gain, and some with a lot to lose(we now know that once had a lot to lose, and that one might have lost so much it could blow any mind.)
Five witnesses who told law enforcement that it was all made up. Never happened. And they were ready to go on the stand, and get a lot of people - in a lot of trouble. But they were silenced from the start and then silenced at the end.
What the cops told us: "Incident," one.
Tsunami - August 29th 2007
9 months ago. Not 1,2,3,4 or five months ago - 9 months ago. Notaro and a Stephanie Willen were alleging that my sister pushed Notaro inside the coffee shop? 9 months ago? The gestation period. Long enough to go around the world.
The metamorphosing/ metastasizing story would survive for four years, if you include the civil suits to come.
Three versions had the push outside. One version it was inside. One version had a verbal tirade and "getting in Notaro's face," preceding the push. Five other versions where this was not mentioned. One version had vodka falling out of sister's jacket, even thought that day was very hot and no one would wear a jacket.
One version had the vodka falling out of purse. 6 versions Notaro never mentions vodka, falling or not. One version Sister calling Notaro a Crazy. Bitch. Dyke. Cunt before the push. 6 versions where that was never mentioned. version after version after version where the most basic details would change. One version had Willen heroically standing before Notaro to protect her. The next one now it was Notaro heroically shielding Willen.
Then more where sister was now chasing the ladies as they fled to their car, and all the others version not mentioning this most memorable spectacle. One version they came in once car to coffee shop. one they came separately in two cars. Which if true would have complicated that chase. In one version my sister was chasing both them and then the car.
All those versions would be revealed over the two excruciating years, after the knock. Many came long after Notaro and Willen were caught in these lies.
If you were to believe Notaro and Willen's stories - That summer night in 2007, had been a night of savagery and sonnets. Brawls and booze amidst Haikus, in the aptly named... Tsunami Coffee House.

Comedy poetry open mic Wednesdays which was the day and time of the “incident” of August 29th,2007
Description from Metromix magazine online.
For this music, comedy, and poetry night follow these instructions: Walk through the door, sign up, wait nervously, get called onto the stage, do your thing, try not to feel awkward.
Be warned, crossing back through the stage to duck out early will get you a chorus of raised eyebrows and a few remarks like, 'Where are you going?'
So anyway, a place where things like violence and tirades would get noticed. For now (May 7th 2008. Cops on Couch,) when it came to Tsumani we only had Notaro and Willen's version as told to Gregozek and Hoffman.
What we were being told:
Alisa pushed, "Tig" inside a coffee shop. And then the light bulb went on for us.This is not a dark alley accusation. This is the opposite.
"Detectives, talk to the people there. There was plenty of them. And the workers. The cashier. The manager. Easy. Surely someone would have noticed something like that. I mean you're Detectives, after all."
But over the coming years, we had to get witnesses and we got this from a manager who was there that night.
Now the cops had moved to 9 months later: April 7th 2008. Largo.
Gregozek: " Did you get it in her face and be aggressive and she had security throw you out"
My sister: " She had me thrown out for doing nothing. She told them I had to be removed cause 9 months before I'd pushed her. That's how this whole thing started. I went to a show to see the Walsh Brothers..."
"Shhhhh"
According to the 7 version that would follow, Alisa not only got in Tig's Face but in five versions that Notaro would give, my sister was nowhere near her, "face"
In once version sister had not just gotten in t"Cunt. Dyke. Bitch." line once more. In all the others she forgot to come up with that.
In the only consistent part of Notaro's versions when it came to this date, was that she was "confronted" by Alisa while Notaro conversed with her William Morris Agent, Heidi Feigin.
Once again, she puts all "this," in a packed club. What a weird M.O for a liar.
" Talk to the people there. She was talking to the woman there. The bartender. the audience. The people at the bar. The guy who took the entrance fee. If what Notaro says is true, surely someone noticed. I mean ... you're detective's after all."
We turned to each other and said, " Oh, she's gonna get arrested"
Third "incident"
This is where I come in. After she was thrown out of Largo on April 7th 08, I decided that as a big sister I'd clear this up. Surely this Tig person had nothing against me. I wasn't a comedian.
Cops: Did you knock on windows and doors and scream, " I'm going to get that fucking dyke." "Didn't the police have to come/"
In the next two years. one version had us sisters knocking on the door for 1 and and a half hours. One version of Notaro's had the packed club on three hours of lockdown. One version had us sisters running around blocks screaming "we are going to get the fucking dyke." One version and us sisters were trying to break into club but since we couldn't you know... break in... we knocked for more than one and a half hourse
There was only one consistent part in these version: In all versions cops are called and come to scene but alas us sisters have fled.
Considering those allegations of mayhem, that would first be made by Notaro, and then be made by the owner and then the manager, of course police would have to come... three hours of lockdown.
" Detectives, O... M.. G this is getting ridiculous. She has a mental defect. She keeps making stuff up when there's tons of witnesses There was a bouncer at the bar next door. Good looking black guy. Muscular. He was there the whole time were were there. Maybe 20 minutes. He was offended by how they treated us. He talked to us. Invited us in Dime Bar for a drink. He'd be so easy to track down. Wait.. all those people on lockdown. The police. We didn't see them. But they'd be great witnesses to. they must have interviewed people. The people inside. locked down for three hours. Surely, they'd remember two violent lady homophobes keeping them trapped for hours. This is a time of cell phones... hundreds of 911 calls."
Remember those police who were called, came, and according to Notaro's lawyer Allison Sievers saw the sister's though Notaro insisted the sister had left before the the cops arrived?
Did anyone ever get the 911 printouts? Names of the Officers. Badge Numbers? Police reports? Incidence Reports?( To win another defamation suit( I filed) and then to convince an appeals court that Notaro deserved her restraining orders, her lawyer, Allison Sievers had now said that not only had police come but this time, we were there to see them. In the defamation case, the judge cited the poilce's arrival as the reason she would grant Lavely and Singer's "Slapp Motion.")
It's a long strange tale how those documents were finally ordered, but we can't afford for this to be a mystery, so here is what happened when a Martin Boags ordered the records, a year and six months after the alleged incident took place.
 |
| It would turn out that John Gregozek(with the blessing of his supervisor Jeffrey Dunn had falsified a incident number. |
One more. I promise.
Gregozek: "You went to the Improv. You pushed people on line. Tried to stop them from seeing her show."
Us: "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat."
Them shaking their heads: cops were called.
Over the next two years, one of Notaro's versions, would have her being assisted by a cop on the street before two other cops arrived. This phantom cop who she'd never mentioned to the real police who did come when she got a manager to call, had not taken care of us but rather snuck her in the Improv's side door.. a side door ( and a cop that did not exist BTW.) In one version she stood with "my friend Nick Kroll" and saw me approach the improv without my sister, then I tried to muscle my way into the door. In one version she watched in fear from a window. In one, she didn't but rather performed her comedy routine as this occurred outside. In one version lots of people in line were pushed. In all the otheres she forgot about that. Once time she was given warning of the mayhem by a Leslie Wolff. Once it was a "friend". Once it was a promoter. Once it was a "manager."
After Gregozek and Hoffman finished retelling us, what she'd told them, we almost felt sorry for her. It's a crime to lie to the police, isn't it? Why would she ruin her career... her life... over this bizarre vendetta.
Detectives, we have the best witnesses evah! Two cops. Two female cops. One blonde. One brunette. They talked to us. Then they went and talked to her and who knows who else inside. They came out and said, verbatim... " Ladies no crime has been committed here." After the brunette whispered something in the blonde's ear, the blonde said, " If I were you, I'd get myself a lawyer."
No idea what she meant. Call them on the phone right now. They're one of you.
So, if you don't mind, please take this quiz:
In the following years, most of the witnesses would get a name. Did Gregozek, Hoffman, Defoe, Dunn et al,
A. Talk to witnesses and get statements
B. Eat Donuts
C. Do everything in their power, along with Lavely and Singer, to hide the cops witness and refuse to interview anyone but Notaro and Willen.
Answer C. Maybe also B and C.
Part 2
And after Gregozek told of our dastardly deeds gathered, we'd learn later, by talking to Mathilde Notaro and Stef Willen "Via Phone". Well, that was all that would ever be evidenced any "discovery."
After that was over, the tall men claiming to be L.A.P.D made the motions of it being over. Getting off our couch, gathering up their papers. And we were sure this would not only be over, but these men would write things and invesgitate things that would lead them to arrest her or at least to tell us they found out that this was all some vendetta, on her part, and that they were sorry for inconveniencing us. But before they reached the door, Gregozek pulled out a small sheaf of paper and handed it to my sister. She glanced down and said in amazement, "A restraining order." Gregozke and then Hoffman assured, " Just stay off the internet and she won't show up."
After they left, we'd learn more detail about what was in those few papers
These are them in the entirety. No attachments of any kind. No police reports. No affidavits from anyone but Notaro. Note there is case number and an address.
Note- No detail whatsoever other than her crossing off - She was afraid that the violence would reocur. There is no evidence in any record that this emergency ex parte with nothing written or attached worked, though it was in the file.
Next in the file was this
Let's look at that more upclose
As you can see, below the names - Declaration RE: Notice of Ex Parte request and then in parenthesis - NO NOTICE GIVEN. Notice to the court but no notice required to inform me. This was the same for both May 1st and 5th
Then, under penalty of perjury, Notaro put an x through, " I was afraid that the violence would reoccur when I gave notice that I was asking for these orders.
Note: This time she does not even bother with writing the address and very curiously (though I can't figure this one out) there is no case number assigned her this time as it was on May 1st. But we know due to service by Gregozek, on May 7th, and then this
that such orders were granted:
Here she doesn't even bother with an adress but it is the same completely devoid of detail document as the one she'd submitted on May 1st.
Please note that granted a temporary ex parte TRO with out hearing is not uncommon. But granting one without having to supply any notice to the defendant is. It's a rare measure that indicates dire danger. No judge would ever grant such an extraordinary measure based on this nearly empty piece of paper. note the numbers on the bottom -right hand side are from the appeals court. this was one piece of paper.
These are them:
and there would be the first time Notaro told her side of the story, we'd thought. According to what we read, she was lying about this story.
Now it wasn't just to these two detective but she was lying under penalty of perjury. The names listed were assumed to be witnesses to these "incidences" The names mentioned were Nick Kroll, Heidi Feigin, and not only did Notaro seek to have a RO against me but she sought protection for three male names we'd never heard of before, but those she claimed were her roommates.
And in this one page typed statement Notaro had mentioned the law firm that we saw listed on the forms. -- Allison Sievers - Lavely and Singer.
But back then all we cold do was google. googling Lavely and Singer, just brought that it is a "Boutique Agency" Something to do with entertainment law. We'd jumped to the conculsion that "Boutique," was a fancy way to say a small law firm.
And according to Notaro in her affidavit this firm was busy behind the scenes sending the Datalounge website, where we'd gotten the dirt on Notaro, a stream of cease and desist letters.
No wonder all on those message boards were so amazed that while they dished on every major celebrity this woman most had never heard of was getting any thread mentioning her - shut down. Back then we had no idea about Marty Singers famed, "Cease and Desist" letters. At no time were those handed over to us, since they would be great evidence of defamation in the defamation lawsuit.
Gregozek and Hoffman had given it on May 5th and the hearing date was May 28th... 23 days later.
We found out later that the temporary was granted in a emergency ex parte meeting with Gregozek and the Judge. Meaning, so pressing was the granting of that order than all due process such as hearing and notice could be suspended. Got to hand it to them they really produced the stuff to get that extraordinary measure granted- Here it is in it's entirety. Not sure yet why there are two dates for this...
And later we'd also learn that John Gregozek ahd served the proof of service himself on May 27th 2008. In other words, he had driven all the way from Downtown L.A to deep in Santa Monica to deliver that one page to the court. Drove all the way there and didn't add one thing when later we learned he'd written out an "investigative reports"
So now were' faced with something called a "hearing" and we have three weeks to prepare for ...WHAT?
The first thing we do is what you're supposed to... we call lawyers. Lawyer number 1 wanted 5 k and that was too much. The second wanted 3K, but we couldn't imagine spending a penny more on defending against what seemed obvious lies. The third lawyer took us into his office, looked at the few paper field and said, " she says you pushed nine months before. and she didn't call the police then.. No judge would give her this. I could take your money but I'd be cheating. Ironically, this one sole honest lawyer inadvertently gave us the worst advice.
Common sense confirmed- This lawyer is right. no judge would grant this. Hoffman's experienced wordswords, " She won't even show up in court." But just to be safe we'd look her up. Who is this person and what can we find to not be put in the position of having an undeserved restraining order.
The only thing my sister knew about Notaro was what a Stef Willen had told her. "Never read a book in her life. Hated her family. Cruel. A liar.
Google search picked up ... not much. A myspace where she kept a blog and on the first hit there... she'd be in Denver on the day of the hearing. dates of all her gigs which begged the question whyh she cliamed to be her fear of her life and yet was and also begged the question how come nine months when she'd been in largo and closeby dozens of times. And then we saw it... How did Hoffman know and why would they go the distance for a person who told them she's not even showing up. but wallah, there's definitive proor. She'll in Denver. No way to be in L.A. These cops were acting real strange even so much( ) but judges to us were then some elite species that could see through bullshit. Judge Rosenberg would see what was going on here and remand the hideous false accusing attention hound to the kennel. Maybe even recommend that she be charged for perjury and lying to police.
But to be sure my sister filed a long "answer" with the court.
We enter the Santa Monica Courthouse early in the morning. And there she was. She'd shown up. She sat texting on her phone, remarkably calm for being two feet away from the perpetrators. Around her looking nervous, but perversely excited was the guy who threw my sister out of largo- Brian Whitaker the doorman at the Improv. Stephanie Willen- ex friend and now fair to say mortal enemy and some guy we never met. No Nick Kroll. No Heidi Feigin. No Mark Flanagan. No cops of any kind.
The lawyers listed as filing the papers also where nowhere to be seen, but must be coming. We all walked in. It soon became clear that no lawyer was coming to court for Notaro.
Let me give you a little legal info... If you have a lawyer and that lawyer's name is on your papers as filing them you cannot represpsent yoursef without filing a substituon of attorney and telling the court you plant to go Pro Per(or representing yourself) We did not know that then. Had we known we'd "put it on the record..." You can't do that it's not legal. But knowing what we know now that wouldn't helped. but at least we'd give it a try. But, Judge Gerald Rosenberg with papers in front of him, Tig began fucking up spectacularly. There was now a series of new versaion for every paragraph/incidence recount that she wrote. She was the worst pathological liar I'd ever seen. Middle School Dropouts should study the script before testifying, we thought. And then not just her but all were making the case for us... Everything they were saying went against what she'd sworn to in the afficdavit and now under oath in a court of law.
My sister who just had to listen to all these lies. And had to watch the Judge Call Notaro by her given name "Mathilde.." I actually go by my middle name Tig and ever since... So Judge Rosenberg did call her Tig and he didn't call my sister anything at all. As my sister went through her sure fire truths, she was made to look like the one with suspicious inconsistencies. At some point my sister talked about Sam and Juilius and Heid and all those she would have tracked but looik Judge it says here she''ll be in Denver and we were told by somje cop she wouldn't show up and I want a conitunaance.... Oddly the Judge said yes and then proceeded to act as if he never heard her request.
The fact that you are looking at her Myspace tells me what I need to know.. But I had .At this point as my sister was floundering sputtering and lookign back at us with our mouths open. the bailiff came up to me and very gently said, " You have to leave the court." I'm a witness. welll let you back ion... Oh Ok... But he never came to get me and so I had to see it from the little window on the court's door. Whatever I could see did not look good. Five minutes later tig strutted out with a strutted out. Not a figure of speech. she actually strutted. The wannabe comedians giddy with the possibilities that were not possible before. after they were gone my sister and mother told me
Afterward Willen would go on a trp to Aspen as told by Notaro on her Mysepace for us , and all to see. Even though they hadn' spoken in yhears. whitaker would also take to his myspace page to report form the Improv his first non open mic show every.. Thanks for letting me open for you, Tig" From open mic to opening a show at the world famous Improv.
First thing home, I called Gregozek to tell him about my stunned state and how Notaro did show up.
And, then I went into detail how she had lied and lied , and now had testified under oath that now it wasn't her my sister was stalking but Stef Willen. My sister had gone to Largo to stalk non comedian Willen at a comedy show.
He laughed as if amused by Notaro's lateest antics, and said, " Well... she didn't tell us that." I'll send you the transcript and you will see." Gregozek's made a sigh of exasperation, " Listen everyone gets restraining orders. Let it go and again, just stay off the internet and your troubles are over."
It became to seem clear, that this Tig person had some special power. Why the in person interviews of us and then no lawyers or cops showing up and the judge awarding her anything she asked despite no evidence and even glaring inconsistent statements why the removal of me as a witness
Why were two Detectives from an Elite Unit that handles "aggravated cases of stalking," on this non case, in the first place? And why were they counseling us that she won't show up, and then to stay off the internet - as if the legal troubled hinged on some mild mockery on the internet? No mention of threats or illegal actions on our part...
Back home were were completely stunned, but vowing to appeal. Was it the lawyers who never showed up who were pulling some strings. Was it her friendship with Sarah Silverman... Did Silverman's fame and money have that kind of power?
We had to find out why as lawyer Howard Williams would say a year later, " She's commandeering the legal system"
Looking into Lavely and Singer
It's impossible to recall the exact details and timelines of our google searches,s but we found out a lot about Lavely and Singer. The incredibly shabilly filled out forms, and then not even showing up. We'd figured, " Well, guess that's you get when you hire a, "boutique agency."
Wow. Lavely and Singer... Lavely and Singer are not regular lawyers, just like we found out that The TMU aren't regular detectives...
Lavely and Singer are high powered Entertainment lawyers. The highest powered in Los Angeles, and since they also represent big banks and George Soros, high powered in other parts of the world.
A lawfirm, who not only happen to work with the TMU with major celebrity with major celebrity stalking victim clients, but Lavely and Singer represented the head of the TMU in a major lawsuit.
You see a book called " The Mansions of Eden" was written about the TMU, and other security firms . (Author David Waddle. Publisher: Penguin)
The jist was that members of this unit were being offered lucrative security jobs straight out of public service or before. The former head of the Unit, Robert Martin, and a few of these firms (Gavin De Becker) were upset that a writer had had revealed this arrangment and that aspersions were being cast. Who did Robert Martin hire to have this go away? You guessed it.
Insert.
Let's get back quickly to just a few of their high paying and high profile clients. Bill Cosby, Sylvester Stallone, John Travolta, Charlie Sheen, Bryan Singer, Jennifer Aniston, George Soros, Julius Bayer Bank and many many more and Martin Singers most grateful client- Arnold Shwartzaneegger. And that would strike us as significant over the five years to come when we slowly but surely learned that all 15 of the judges who were given roles of responsibility in this case were recent Shwartzenegger appointees.
But the client that struck as the most relevant, at that exact time was ... Jennifer Aniston. Jennifer Aniston's restraining order was online. we'd found it looking up keyword Lavely and Singer restraining order... Aniston had retained Lavely an Singer and was working with the TMU. You'd expect a similar investigation and a similar effort to assure that the judge granted protective orders. We clicked it on and saw 96 pages and reports and affidavits and diagram... The whole megilla. So much seemed required to get a judge to get on board. While, in our case almost nothing was required and the TMU and Lavely and Singer went missing when it went on record on May 28th 2008.
. This is the entirety of what was filed for Notaro not only to get the temporary order, the ex parte exceptional circumstance order but for three men named, Christopher Fairbanks, Kjell Bjorgen, Which begged so many questions. A big begged question: How is that a tig notaro is more powerful than Jennifer Aniston?
So three years. Clets order. Restrainined for not onlyh Notaro but three men who never showed up in the affiadivati tand then in court and were never even mentioned... (later we'll get to how none of these men were even her roommates and how we found that out)
Remedies:
So now Notaro not only had my sister removed from two very important comedy venues, under false premises but now she was succeeding in getting a court order that would show up as deserved if we didn't do something. And, she not only had not being satisfied with ruinng my sister name at Largo but now at Imrpov and show knew where else(We'd learn a little later.
So now what remedies did we have. We now had not one statement under oath but two. and we now still had and a clearly unfair hearing...Googling. Only remedy to appeal.. One month window to file one peice of paper called, a "Notice of appeal." Calls to laywers. 10 k for an appeal. By now we knew a whole slew of legalese. Bias, Pro Per, Motion to reconsider, redress for greivancesVoid Judgement, Ex parte, Due Process, and Ex Parte- Important. Remember Ex Parte we'd had one for the tempo order and we'd be uninvited to many expartes when all was said and done. legal definition
With all this knowldge we decided we weren't going to pay another cent for this twisted bitch. We would not let this demon rat deplete our funds. And she wouldn't ruin are names and she wouldn't keep my sister from doing what she'd come to L.A to pursue.
With notice of appeal taken of of it would be a long time till we could get any relief. It was clear that Notaro was defaming my sister and that many potential witnesses exited so rather than wait the year or so that an appeal could take the best way was a defamation suit... abuse of process. malicious proseuction. defamation. That suit was completed, filed and served to Notaro on August 13 2008.
But in between these legal "remedies" my sister was still not sure all was lost. The idea that her daughter had a resatraining order against her from a stranger was driving her crazy. My mother at the time- a 70 year old Hungarian. A holocaust survivoir screwed by a fellow Jew... This Rosenberg. And so she went out a lot of times since Notaro had her removed and often wondering if she'd someone been shmmozing with one of the mystery roomates that she was legally restrained from.
On Juley 14th 2008 Alisa goes to El Cid. A nightclub with a weekly comedy show she'd been going to regularly. Accordion to her nothing happened of note and I can verify that she never mentioned anythign of note happened. But on the very same July 14th, according to Tig and friends, my sister approached Martha Kelly with crime in mind. Intent on paassing illegal messages in anotehr crowded place. She either said " Tell her to stop this. It's killing my motehr" or " I will never let this go. I can't have firearms anymore." Then Notaro as usual changed it up again. This time in a letter from Lavely and Singer to a prosecutor Richard Ramirez...this was what went down: insert - i can't get a gun
And if that wasn't enough we have three supporting witnesses for Notaro...cliaming my sister was followering her old M.O to a T. A disturbing scene. Agreessivenes. Threatsa. Menace. Screaming while nameless others were terrified. Now, now lets whip out our last fortutious witness. Tobin Shea... manager of El Cid. His take as told to Investigator Neil Spector
My sister and I have put a lot together,but it didn't occur to me how I'd prove that John Gregozek was in on it, from the very beginning.
John Gregozek said to my mother, "what can I do. You sued her (Notaro) didn't you?" as the only answer to her question. Her question was, "You were in my house. You know that this girl is lying. How could you have tried to press criminal charges." He said that in October of 08. Soon after he'd learn more and more and more lies told by Notaro and the false witnesses(who were promised goodies from Nick Kroll and Tig Notaro)
So we understood, that as of October of 2008, the criminal charges were retaliation for the civil suit I'd filed against Notaro. By then we knew too that John Gregozek was acting an errand boy for Allison Hart of Lavely and Singer. But only later would it be understood how much of an errand boy/co conspirator. Look he's picking up forums and emails from Allison Hart Sievers on May 6th 2008. FYI - not one of those documents was ever used or handed over in either the restraining order kangaroo hearing, or during the 2 years of the malicious prosecution. Why? Because nothing remotely criminal existed in those documents. On the contrary, they were exculpatory.
The whole document
Let's look at that again
Now there are three Detectives - Martha Defoe, John Gregozek, James Hoffman - from an Elite Unit driving from Downtown L.A to Santa Monica - to do what? You'd never guess. They were responding to a residence. I was under the assumption that residences were non verbal. Alas, this residence might be responded to but as a good residence does - it stays silent. We know that cause we don't have any statements made by said residence. Who else very barely responds, in any way?
Notaro. But, not in any documented verbal sense - according to this report, without saying a word - she identifies me by "one photo."
All that gas and man power for Ms. "Tig" Notaro to not say a word . For the cops not to say a word. We must picture that desiccated hag simply shaking her head, and saying " Uh, yea." before going back to her business.
When Gregozek tried to get the city attorneys to add criminal charges-
Let's look at May 6th more closely
Back then though,we were completely ignorant of Nick Kroll, other than the fact that Tig Notaro had listed him as a key witness to events that never transpired. (And, he was never even there, we'd find out.)
We had no idea who he was, or what kind of family he came from. No clue as to his role in this conspiracy(and it sure was a conspiracy, folks. The c word has gotten a bad rap, but it just means more than one was involved, and in this case- there were many who conspired to assist Kroll, and Marty Singer's law firm win whatever it is, they wanted to win.
Back then, we didn't know about Marty Singer and Lavely and Singer either.
Early on,we knew there was something very very very wrong with Detective John Gregozek.
 |
| what a lovely innocent face. who would guess... SARCASM! |
Knew he wasn't working for the public. Knew he was willing to lie repeatedly. Willing to press for bogus criminal charges. Willing to lie under penalty of perjury, many times. And, willing to lie under oath in court... I also knew he was willing to hide exculpatory evidence and falsify police arrivals at scenes and then to actually to falsify an incident report number, when he submitted his reports or search warrant affidavits. Willing to waste a broke city's money so he could secure a job, if he pleased Lavely and Singer and Jules Kroll(through his son, Nick)
But, till yesterday, I did not get that this was his intention from day one - April 30th 2008. Didn't grasp that he wanted me to be charged with crimes, on day one, and that he planned to arrest me on the word of Notaro, Willen, and Kroll on May 7th 2008.
I didn't get that the fix was completely in from the first time he was told by Nick Kroll and then Marty Singer- to take care of Nick Kroll's, "best and oldest comedy friend, "Tig" Notaro.
We knew some of the fix was in - as of October of 2008, when Gregozek told my mother, " What could I do, you sued her, didn't you." as his only explanation as to why he kept lying on reports, and pushing the city attorney to file bogus criminal charges.
But, we thought maybe he was lied to on April 30th 2008, when Notaro(through her lawyer) called him.
How can I prove that Gregozek had no plausible deniability, and that he intended to railroad me from the start? ( with the blessing of his supervisor, Jeffrey Dunn)
Please look at this, note how despite this allegation about April 12th 2008, no police were called or arrived. And, so Gregozek is going by Tig Notaro's word alone. " The police were called but Spitzer (sic) left before they arrived.
 |
| Note that this was redacted. I have the non redacted one and will post when I find but note one witness is included and it was Stef Willen. But, then on 8/14/08 this info was Rejected. Note that if the report was valid it would include all the wintesses or even a few. and all the related badge numbers and police report and incident number. |
Then, please look at this ugly little document -
Please look carefully at the paragraphs that start with "On April 12th 2008," and "April 29th 2008"
 |
| Had John Gregozek really investigated all these allegations -- Every ONE-- would be shown to be a lie. Note the presence of Nick Kroll. He was not even there. No cops on April 12. No Nick Kroll ever present to be any kind of witness. No sherrif on the street to sneak her into a side door. No side door at the Improv comedy club even. |
 |
| No evidence then and never was there any evidence. Not even the pretense of any evidence which begs a lot of questions. |
Let's forget for the moment that this document followed absolutely no investigation on the part of Gregozek, or anyone. Let's forget that all this is the words of Tig Notaro and Stef Willen given "via phone" and written as gospel truth by Gregozek.
Long after Gregozek(and other members of the police and prosecutors) knew that every word was a lie they just were arrogant enough or emboldened enough to keep repeating these lies. If any of the things written about me or my sister were true, not only would we two super creeps, but I would not have all seven charges dismissed after a twelve day trial and two years of prosecution. Five witnesses who were as unbiased as possible(total strangers) were ready to testify that everything in that report was a lie.
Also, please note that after the real police found Notaro uncredible, Nick Kroll hooked her up with John Gregozek. John Gregozek wanted the kind of opportunities the former head of the TMU had... Gregory Boles was that guy and now he has a very glamorous position working for Kroll Inc.
For now, let's focus on the last two lines of April 12th and April 29th 2008
On April 12 2008...The police were called but Spitzer(sic) had left before they arrived.
On April 29 2008.... Police called and arrived at the scene. Officers arrived at the scene and determined there was no crime. (incident 080430005196)
Re: April 12h 2008 - The police were called and arrived?
Not only is it strange that there is no names of the officers listed but there is no time frame and there is no badge numbers.
There is no mention of a 911 call, and there is no incident or police report number listed.
Then, if the allegations in this report made by John Gregozek, are true-- the police would surely visit us. We lived less than 2 miles away, and Notaro knew that through Stef Willen. She knew exactly where we lived. It also doesn't note who called the police. (Later,Allison Hart would write to the appeals judges that not only were police called but me and my sister were present when they arrived. Then zero detail about the next step in that type of situation i.e what steps these cops took)
Over the two years that this prosecution lasted, not once did anyone but us try to check on this information. We tried but were told we weren't legally entitled to that information????!!!!! We didn't know better so we believed this to be the case. Until September of 2009 no prosecutor tried to get their hands on this info.
Re: April 29 2008- Police called and arrived at the scene. Officers arrived at the scene and determined there was no crime. Then, an incident number.
So, why not the officers names and badge numbers? Again, as hard as I tried, no one would give me this information. Very late in... Gregozek ponied up the names, and after that he'd begin to include their names and badge number in his perjured search warrants.
(Their names were Jaqueline Montalvo and Jannelle Badar. Montalvo would come in on February 23rd 2010 to tell Alissa Malzman and Martin Boags(the prosecutor at that time. he was taken off soon after) that though the prosecutors had her on their witness list she'd be a witness for the defense AKA me. Three days later she was dead in an unusual car accident.)
Where is the incidence report?
Well, as Jaqueline Montalvo knew... there wasn't any. She'd so dismissed Notaro's allegations, that night, that she did not write any police or incident report. Same for Janell Badar.
In August of 2009( a year after the charge was filed) Martin Boags, was appointed to the case after three other prosecutors had left(why? we don't know but we have our suspicions) We'd learn later that someone forgot to tell him a lot of info and then we'd learn he ordered this to add more charges, as a means to terrorize me into a plea bargain. Anyway, Boags did order the records of both dates:

| Please note that Bill Bratton aside of his "public service" position was(and still is, as far as I know) an employee of Kroll Inc. This is why their was non stop and very obvious crimes committed in this case, and no one would do anything. |
It becomes beyond curious if you regard the minutes. This is a newer one but I'll find the money that has no mention of the illegal arrest a year and a half later. That one says that I was arrested on April 29th 2008. We know that didn't happen. Gregozek's report doesn't say that happened. The official records ordered by Martin Boags say it didn't happen. Why is that there and why wouldn't anyone correct this? Not Franica Tawn, Not Anan Desai, Not Alissa Malzman. Not the two private lawyers.No prosecutors?
In short, JOHN GREGOZEK PUT A FAKE POLICE INCIDENT NUMBER ON THE REPORT HE"D SUBMIT THROUGHOUT!!! AND, he knew there were no police on April 12th 2008. He'd checked. Of course he did. Otherwise he'd put a real number. But he knew that the only way to make this get a city attorney on board, is to lie like this.
 |
| Landin let me out on my own recognizance. Which is more that fair. But this becomes very significant when Judge Maria Strattons states on the record that I am facing very serious charges and therefore she would deny me any bail for 31 months. Then, she make it 10k ... which makes no sense. |
Sad and scary to see that John Gregozek is still able to pretend to be a real police officer, when he is a ruthlessly corrupt sack of crap.
Very sad to know that he still has his gun, and badge, and that he has not been imprisoned yet. A google search shows that he is now a Sargent at L.A's South East Division. Another google search shows that maybe a Sargent is not a demotion.
Whatever the case, John Gregozek can't work for Marty Singer (or Jules Kroll - both had pull in my case) and he can't fix cases for celebrities like Pauley Perrette, or wannabe celebrities like Tig Notaro
Since I am sure that this sausage faced menace to society,
loved his cushy and corrupt position at the LAPD's Threat Management Unit, I choose to see this as a demotion. I hope that his role in CASE 8CA10541 had something to do with him being removed from the TMU unit. But, of course, I can't know.
This blogger gets your name wrong, Gregozek... calls you Jim, but it's you and he's right on about everything he figured out.
https://losangeleslessconfidential.wordpress.com/
Why do I want John Gregozek(and city attorney's Jennifer Waxler, Felise Kalpkian, Martin Boags, Bernie Brown, and other members of this sham TMU unit,) in prison?
Here's a sample, or two.
On January 13th 2009, Gregozek was contacted again, by Marty Singer's right hand woman, Allison Sievers( of the Lavely and Singer law firm.)
These are the letters that we only made available to us in 2011, when they were handed over in discovery by unsavory City Attorney, Elizabeth Mitchell.
 |
| Add caption |
|
This was only handed over in discovery, for a civil suit filed by me, my mother and my sister. A suit that by all evidence, and law - we should have won. Note that one page was not handed over.
|
According to this document (dated February 3rd 2009 and faxed to someone on that same day) City Attorney Kelly Boyer, added four charges to the defendant(me) on January 27th 2009, based on what Allison Sievers ordered, and then we have to presume - the incriminating evidence found by Gregozek
Let's look at that closely
Action Taken - Four Counts 273.6 filed by CA Boyer( Right hand. last line)
Let's look closer at the supplemental information filed by John Gregozek(note no supervisor this time does not sign off and Gregozek himself does not sign it. What that exactly means - I do not know.)
Note that this was not given to me until March 12th 2009, and the public defender either did not have it or was not aware of it but no one told me that such a filing had occurred as of March 12th 2009, when I decided I had to be my own lawyer and so "discovery" was given me. As of March 12th 2009, I only knew I was facing the one bogus charge
Anyway, back to the info supplied by Gregozek to someone.
And, according to this same report,Gregozek proclaims that indeed Kelly Boyer did file such charges.
Okay, so anyone viewing this would think... Here's the chain of events-
1)Notaro's private civil lawyer (who was representing her in the defamation suit against her.) is contacting "Kelly" and Gregozek to provide them with evidence that I am violating a restraining order.
2) Gregozek does the leg work- get the warrants (see below) and sure of four crimes, presents such evidence to city attorney, Kelly Boyer.
3) City Attorney,Kelly Boyer, evaluates the evidence brought to her. We can assume that it what was discovered after numerous searches etc. Gregozek hints at his work, but does not offer detail as to what he found. What she sees, gives her reason to add four criminal charges to the one, I then faced.
The next date would be January 29th 2009. On that date, there was a pretrial hearing in the case: On that Date, Kelly Boyer was the prosecutor, and did she add the four charges Gregozek said she did? Did she add any charges?
Let's make that bigger:
As you can see, no charges were added. Kelly Boyer was present, but she wasn't adding anything. What is that about?
So, January 29th 2009, came and went and I was not told of any charges, and had no clue that Lavely and Singer's errand boy, John Gregozek, had been conducting extensive searches - exigent circumstance searches in an effort to what? To link me to non threatening posts left by someone to Notaro on Facebook?
I had no clue on that date, and would have no clue until a month and a half later when, I noticed this the February 2nd report and then tons of page of search warrants - signed by a total of three judges.
Was there cause for such extreme measures? Would disclosure of these records impede the investigation, and place the victim(s) and witness(es) in danger.
Gregozek writes them of an investigation in progress by the LAPD. That sounds very serious, doesn't it?
The truth of the matter is there was no "investigation." There was no probable cause for any charge or any search warrants. There was a fix. There was a cover up. John Gregozek was working on the orders of Nick Kroll, and Marty Singer. Because this was Judge Samantha Jessner, he knew he did not have to include one reason for such unusual and lawless warrants.
All Gregozek planned to do, and had to do, was impart that he was an expert. No evidence was needed. Just his presentation to Judge Samantha Jessner that he was an expert who not only guarded celebrities and other VIPS but HER....
Let's look at that a little closer -
Here, Gregozek is telling these judges(there would be a few with these search warrants) that he's a big time expert. That's bad enough, cause as an expert he knows very well I'm no stalker and that by law, Notaro and him have been stalking me - filing false reports, harassing me using the criminal and civil courts etc.
If that's not bad enough he is telling these judges - "Hey I protect you" if you need it. How is it one bit relevant - "Which includes threats towards elected officials" plus the city worker part.
Mathilde Notaro had alleged an incident of violence to Gregozek. But very early on, that was shown to be a lie, when the manager of the coffee shop(where she'd invented violence and verbal tirades)
There is also an investigators report( will post as soon as I find it) In it Sam Consuegra seems spooked by something but he makes the excited utterance , " There was no violence that night."
Not to mention that she'd changed her statements to such a degree that it was clear, as early as May 28th 2008 that everything she and Willen were sayingafter report after report to judges and others - saying that Boyer filed four charges, over and over again. what happened at the next pretrial hearing. What was Public Defender, Franica Tawn, doing during this time. What about Investigator Neil Spector.
I claimed that as of March 12th 2009, when I demanded discovery when I had to become my own lawyer, I had no clue that any more charges were added AND that I was not aware of any search warrants - here's your evidence that I could not have known about the search warrants.
How could I not know? By law I had to be notified - Well these were exigent circumstance warrants - approved by Judge Samantha Jessner, with no explanation as to why such extraordinary measures be taken- Remember there was no violence or evidence that if I found out.... the "victim" could be in an jeopardy. Nevertheless, an exigent search warrant or warrants, were conducted. there was a false allegation of violence that was now a year and half old and their was a known witness - Sam Conseugra- who had signed an affidavit saying there was no activity of any kind - no violence. No verbal argument.
In fact, there was absolutely no probable cause. There was no reason other than a Lavely and Singer lawyer telling their errand boy, Johh Gregozek, to do this -
Look what an errand boy he was.
Check out May 6nd 2008- Picks up forums and emails from the offices of Lavely and singer.
And, he had no idea who wrote anything and nothing ever writeten by me was in any way - criminal. None of these "forums and emails" were not only not shown to be even written by me, but nothing in these forums or emails were remotely criminal. Also, at a twelve day trial and throughout the 2 year long malicious prosecution - they were never introduced into evidence.
Look at the part in green: we see he knows he needs to use serial numbers. He responds to a residenct and we must suppose that the residenc and not Notaro. They drive from downtown L.A with three detectives - Defoe now too. Hoffman. Gregozek. All the way to Santa Monica and only a residence will respond to them and Notaro will identify me by one photograph? So we have a talking residence or a silent residence who needs to be brought to court to be cross examined. I am kidding, reader ... I know that
And, errand boy to Lavely and Singer - John Gregozek- files the proof of service with the court -
Note: Files nothing else. Filed not one document compared to this - filed by same Gregozek and same Lavely and Singer http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/0720_aniston_2.pdf
And, something happens, where the TMU not want even their names listed. By all indications nothing was done by this unit past May 7th 2008. When I sued for defamation Gregozek was back on the case saying things like, " What could I do. You sued her didn't you." as the response to her question, "Why are you doing this. You know that girl(Notaro) is a liar."
Very very curiously, despite all notification to me and all appearances otherwise cause Franica Tawn never told me... she'd written and filed and extensive motion for discovery with the court and she had set the motion for hearing for February 12th 2009
This was filed but never entered in the minutes, and Ms. Tawn never mentioned it to me and so I had no idea she filed this. The fact that this is not listed in any docket or minutes or whatever is astounding. The fact that Franica Tawn made no attempt to pursue this or correct the record, is just too incredible to believe
Let's look at that more closely-
So it was filed on Jany 28th 2009 and set for hearing on Feb 12 2009 at 8.15 A.M
Hmmmm. Why is there absolutely no evidence of any such motion filed or set for hearing in the minute orders... if you see the date of these minute order you'll see that there has been more than a years time to correct the record even
Here are the two minute order that evidence how this would be the first motion of many that would not be entered into the minute orders of Judge Mary Lou Villar Delongoria's court. ..
Please look for dates January 28th and February 12th 2009 . please tell me if you see them present here, This no evidence of filed and set for hearings uh... pattern would get much worse as time went on.
I only would learn that Franica had tried and had made a motion when trial was over and I'd gone to the court to get the full file. I had seen the minute order before but could have no clue. Had I known....had I know that Franica was trying... who knows how much misery and waste could have been avoided.
So now, as of January 28th 2009, Public defender Franica Tawn has filed an extensive discovery motion.
Meanwhile, I was at home and I had no been advised of a few important things.
Certainly not informed that any of his transpired -
If you look closer that report made by John Gregozek is dated February 2nd 2009 and so you can easily take my word that I didn't know of any of this. And, one can easily deduce too that the then public defender, Franica Tawn, also had no clue.
So it's January 28th 2009 and I am at home with a handwriting expert named Kurt Kuhn. Why is a handwriting expert named Kurt Kuhn visiting me that day.
Well, this gets really complicated. You see we'd hired a few private lawyers to help us along the way..First there was Richard Fine and that was a strange tale that needs to be fogotten for the moment... When we'd filed the civl suit and afer taking 5K from us to help us with that.. Richard Fine went missing well we learned of an arangement where you could not retain a laywer for court appearances but you could pay them to craft things behind the scenes. "of counsel" is what I believe it's calle dand we learned about it from one of those lovely Nola legal books, we took out of the library...
So we paid had no clue exactly what to do and somehow after calling a few lawyers who refused this kind of "of counsel" arrangment a Steven Lowe agreed that for 1,500 dollars he'd help us.
But, shortly after hiring Steven Lowe, we discovred that the City Attorney of Los Angeles had filed a criminal charge on me and so we didn't see it as terrible advice when Steven Lowe told us to go to court and dissmis without prejudice the civil lawsuit I'd filed against Notaro. Lowe also advised that since Lavely and Singer had filed a anti SLAPP suit in response this was the best course of action..
Since Lowe was not our official lawyer we had to file it with the court.
And so that day - find day, we filed this
We'll have to get back to Steven Low for the momemt... and the handwriting expert that came on January 28th 208 and how they were involved.
I wish I could say that nothing unsusual happened on January 28th 2009 but three things were out of the ordinary. First the hiring of a handwriting expert cause we noted a really strange similary in the handwriing on one of the documents Steven Lowe's secretary gave us. It was so striking this that though we had very little money, at that time, that we were willing to spend 600 bucks on hiring Kurt Kuhn. We'd googled him and he seemed legit.
Well so he came and he was very nice. so nice that he waived the 600 fee because as he said, " I'm a pretty blonde" That was all bizarre enough but less than a half hour after he left to go compare the handwriting for FREE my sister and I were chatting in the bedroom which was unusual for us... mostly I was on my computer in the living room
. No incidents in court. No medical records. Only the exparte, and then on the record lies and dirty tricks of two notoriously unethical city attorneys - Jennifer Waxler and Felise Cohen Kalpakian. How do we know they are notoriously unethical? Because Alissa Malzman Sterling would tell my sister that and at one point another public defender approached my sister and said, " Good look. Good Luck" and then he pointed at Jennifer Waxler and said, " Especially with her." His face looked furious.
The prosecutors (Jennifer Waxler and Felise Kalpakians) demand that my sister be evaluated for competency - "Your honor, she says these charges don't make sense." My sister did repeatedly say, " These charges don't make any sense.
These two charges were based on someone writing on Notaro's facebook certain non criminal things, and no one finding any link that those postings were written by anyone in particular. In other words, no police officer would try to press such charges and no prosecutor would agree to based on the "evidence" or non evidence. And, how those charges were pressed for and how they were eventually added will be told soon.
By the prosecutors twisted logic - these outrageously invalid charges make no sense to anyone, and so she must be criminally insane - can't understand the nature of such charges.
The surviving charge - the first charge added by city attorney Phyliss Henderson- A charge that was thrown to the prosecution, by the public defender, Alissa Sterling ( nee Malzman)-who was happy to win six charges, and threw this charge so as to preserve her career by not offending the prosecutor even further.
Anyway, this first and then last remaining charge. lacking any defense by the the exceedingly self interested, Malzman, met an unfair fate. Not a conviction. A hung jury instead. 11-1 for guilt.
The jury being presented with lies, and then altered jury instructions that indicated that this was a case of domestic and family violence, when there was no disagreement that Notaro did not even know each other,
and most importantly, the judge agreeing to the prosecutions demands that my sister not be allowed the collateral attack of the restraining order( which is required by Supreme court law - we'll get much more into that, later but amazingly when Katie Ford begged for a retrial on the hung count she claimed it was she wanted that all in and the judge denied her this and no one corrected her)
and having John Gregozek on the stand to tell them he is a stalking expert didn't help- which begged a lot of questions that Alissa Malzman repeatedly failed to exploit -- i.e if he really was a stalking expert why did he do no real investigation and if he really was a stalking expert wasn't it true that nothing about my sister and this case had any of earmark of a stalking crime. Alissa Malzman missed so many opportunities that it blows one mind. There are literally hundreds of things she could have said or done to get an aquittal with a finding of factual innocent. But, by all indications she made no effort to counter the initial charge or the fact that she repeately told my sister, " you are being malicously prosecuted. One glaring example out of so many examples - Notaro got on the stand and Malzman just did nearly nothing to expose her as the liar and criminal she is. Same with the three witnesses that Nick Kroll had just rewarded with a Bentzen Ball gig(more on that later)
Well, I can't really blame this jury for not understanding what was really taking place here. Alissa Malzman Sterling chose to keep them deep in the dark. Afterwards, when I confronted her about another bit of bad behavior, over the phone she whispered, " Alisa, what do you expect. I work for the city."
Odd that -since she supposedly worked for the county, but that really does speak for itself.
Mid trial Alissa Malzman told my sister, " You are being railroaded," before Malzman proceeded to allow my sister to almost get completely railroaded on that one charge. You'll meet Alissa, and the other defense lawyers, later.
But the competency scheme was foiled, and the attempt to get my sister convicted of even one charge did not succeed for the forces that had aligned-
Forces? That sounds crazy. It is crazy but not because of us.
More exactly these forces were Nick Kroll and his family connections, and then Marty Singer and then the City attorneys office, and then the District Attorney's office when the competency scheme took place. Along the way many more were involved and many could have no plausible deniability when it came to the lawlessness and ruthlessness they'd exhibit.
Then,it can be deduced that as of May 7th 2008, Gregozek and Hoffman and anyone at the TMU made it clear to Notaro et al that they were not going to further entertain her vendetta. Later as some awkward means of explanation Gregozek would tell my sister, by phone - She wanted me to press the charges. I went to the clubs and found out you were there to do comedy. He seemed to want to absolved when he said that and when he told our mother, " What could I do? You sued her didn't you." as the only explanation as to why he was lying in reports and pressing for charges he knew to be unfounded.
All evidence leads to the conclusion that after May 7th 2008, Gregozek, Hoffman, and Defoe(who accompanied them to go "respond to a residence" on May 2nd 2008) were completely off the case. Later when my sister called the office of the TMU to plead with them again to investigate ... to do anything to do the right thing here, Defoe was the one who picked up the phone. My sister told her how wrong this all was and to urge them to just talk to the many witnesses that now were known- Sam Consuegra, Julius Quinn Roberts, The police officers that we saw on April 29th 2008, Heidi Feigin. There were also many prospective witness in these crowded "incidences."
What did Martha Defore say in response? If I were you I'd get a restraining order on her. The "her" was said with distaste and the her referred to "Vic" Mathilde "Tig" Notaro.
.
This is what I'm sure happened. As of May 2008, when Nick Kroll made some calls, neither Lavely and Signer or this TMU unit wanted to get involved with a clearly malicious and disturbed woman like Tig Notaro. Lavely and Singer agreed to write Cease and Desist letter for a price but when the time to come to court came, or even to fill out any forms, they were nowhere to be found. As dirty as Lavely and Singer is know to be, they did not want a court record when dealing with someone who was not only not famous or powerful, but who lied in ways that made it very obvious that she wasy lying.
The stakes were low, at that point- get to Rosenberg, and get this crazy Tig bitch what she wants and this Alisa Spitzberg person will disappear, never to be heard from again.
They did not anticipate an appeal, or then a defamation suit because the arrogance of a sociopath like Tig Notaro is such that she assumed we'd be cowed and bow down to her bully's might.
Flash forward to the filing of my sister's defamation suit on August 11th 2008. Then service of the complaint on August 13th.
Immediately after it was served on Notaro, A letter in the mail... Alisa Spitzberg is charged with a crime. My mother, who had trusted police like crazy, called Gregozek...... " How could you do this. You know that girl is a liar."
And, what did Gregozek say in response? "What could I do. You sued her didn't you?"
My mother was so confused by this response, that she asked me, " It is illegal to sue someone."
That is why this stalking report would include only the words of Tig Notaro. Then Gregozek was ordered by the powers that be - Marty Singer and Nick Kroll - to file the criminal charges as retaliation.
But, the world is not made up of evil complicit people, in general. Though there are rackets in the L.A courts and there are judges and city attorneys that are counted on to play along for career advancement etc.- There are also decent people.
