C. The Trial Court Had No Reasonable Justification to

Sanction Susan

The trial court imposed a $2,500 sanction on Susan for failing to

drop her motion to appoint minors counsel and restrain David from

moving M out of state. (CT 212; RT 174:26-175:23.) Family Code

Section 271 authorizes attorneys fees sanctions only for conduct that

increases litigation costs by flouting the policy of encouraging settlement

and cooperation. (Parker v. Harbert, supra, 212 Cal.App.4th at p. 1176.)

The lower court did not state its basis for the sanction. (See RT 174:26-

179:6.) However, opposing counsel had moved for sanction for filing

frivolous motions that created litigation. (RT 175:6-16.) The $2,500sanction was the amount opposing counsel stated was incurred for fees for

the motion to return M to California. (RT 175:19-23.) For several reasons,

imposing this sanction was an abuse of discretion.

Susans testimony as to why she did not drop the May 9, 2012

hearing was uncontradicted. (RT 176:1-179:12.) Susan told the court

during the May 9, 2012 hearing that she spoke to the court clerk about

dropping the hearing but was told she could not do so because a temporary

order was in place. (RT 176:1-4, 177:10-21, 178:8-9, 178:17-18, 178:27-

28.) There was no testimony on the record from the court clerk or from any

other source to contradict Susans testimony about her conversation with

the court clerk. (RT 179:9-12.) It was an abuse of discretion to sanction

Susan for failing to drop a motion which the court clerk had informed her

could not be dropped. (Ibid.)

The trial court attempted to justify its disbelief of Susan in two ways.

First, the trial court stated Susan was avoiding the direct question and as

a result the court assumed you did tell [the court clerk] that [opposing

counsel] agreed to drop it, and it turned out to be false . . . . (RT

7/25/2019 Ferris Case - Judge Matthew J. Gary Misconduct "Body Language" Credibility Assessment - Commission on Judicial

3/14

39

178:19-24.) However, the trial courts characterization misstates Susans

answers to the courts questions. The trial judge directly asked When you

talked to [the court clerk], did you tell [her] that you and [opposing

counsel] had talked and there was an agreement to drop it? and Susandirectly responded No. (RT 177:28-178:3.) Contrary to avoiding the

courts question, Susan directly answered it. The courts incorrect claim

that Susan was evasive should not be a reason to find her not credible.

Second, the trial court justified its disbelief, stating, . . . and I can

tell from your body language that you are not telling me the truth. (RT

178:25-26.) There is no basis in the record indicating that the trial judge

was able to tell truth from fiction by body language. While the trier of fact

is permitted to disbelieve even uncontradicted evidence, such evidence

cannot be arbitrarily disregarded. (Ebersol v. Cowan(1983) 35 Cal.3d 427,

439; Filip v. Bururenciu(2005) 125 Cal.App.4th 825, 836 [the trier of fact

may only reject the uncontradicted testimony of a witness if it does not act

arbitrarily and has a rational ground for doing so.] [citation omitted].) It

is arbitrary and without rational basis for the trial court to question Susans

claim based solely upon her body language when the court could have

directly asked the court clerk to verify or contradict Susans statement.

Imposing sanctions here constituted an abuse of discretion.

It was also an abuse of discretion to sanction Susan for failing to

drop a hearing she attempted to consolidate. Susan filed an application to

consolidate the April 18 hearing on Davids child support modification

motion with the May 9 hearing on the motion to return M to California.

(CT 193-196.) Susans attempt to savelitigation costs by having motions

heard at one court appearance instead of two, rather than increase costs,

was rejected by the trial court. (CT 200.) The April 12, 2012 motion is

7/25/2019 Ferris Case - Judge Matthew J. Gary Misconduct "Body Language" Credibility Assessment - Commission on Judicial

4/14

40

marked No Hearing. (CT 193.) Opposing counsels choice to appear

anyway should not be held against Susan.

Because the trial courts findings lacked reasonable justification,

because Susan attempted to decrease litigation costs by asking to combine

or cancel hearings, and because the sanction imposed an undue financial

burden, a reasonable judge would not have imposed the sanction against

her. Imposing this sanction was therefore an abuse of discretion and the

order regarding sanctions should be reversed.

CONCLUSION

Under the California Constitutions due process clause, Susan should

not have been deprived her of the fundamental right to the care, custody,

and contact with her child without first being appointed counsel to assist

her in the proceedings.

The proceedings leading to the May 9, 2012 order resulted in

Susans loss of custody of M, an order not to contact M, and an order

permitting David to send M out of state. Because the trial court failed to

appoint counsel before depriving Susan of her fundamental rights, the May

9, 2012 order should be reversed and the trial court should be instructed to

appoint counsel to assist Susan in further proceedings related to contact

with and custody of her daughter. Alternatively, this order should be

reversed because the court failed to appoint Susan an attorney as a

reasonable accommodation for her disability.

The order imposing $2,500 in attorneys fees should be reversed

because the court did not consider that this sanction would impose an undue

financial burden on Susan and because the court lacked reasonable

justification for imposing this sanction.

SACRAMENTO FAMILY COURT NEWS SPECIAL REPORT

The disturbing aftermath of an unconscionable $920 child support orderissued by Judge Matthew J. Gary

shows one of the ramifications, and the inexorable human cost of what court watchdogs contend is unchecked

family court corruption and cronyism. The April, 2012 order gutted the monthly disability income of unrepresented,

financially disadvantaged family court litigant Susan Ferrisfrom $1,256 to $336. Gary previously issued an

equally unlawful orderprohibiting the 52-year-old single parent from having any contact with her daughter,

Megan.

7/25/2019 Ferris Case - Judge Matthew J. Gary Misconduct "Body Language" Credibility Assessment - Commission on Judicial

10/14

The April support order financially devastated Ferris, leaving her with far less income than she needed for food,

utilities, and rent. After several months under the order and behind on her rent, Ferris was evictedfrom her East

Sacramentohome and became homeless. The same court order records thather ex-husband, David Ferris,

earns $8,089 per month. Click hereto view Gary's minute order, obtained and posted online exclusively by

Sacramento Family Court News. As a result of the order, Susan Ferris' credit has been thrashed, the repo man

came for her car, and the eviction will now be part of her renter's report, making it virtually impossible for her to rent

a home in the future.

To continue reading, click Read more>>below:

Like orders issued by the same judge in other cases, both minute orders contain no facts or law justifying the

draconian rulings, making them patently illegal under state law. The comparison to orders in other cases reveals aconsistent pattern that infers a calculated and deliberate intent to conceal from review the judge's misuse of Family

Code statutes for the prohibited purpose of punishing unrepresented parties. Gary, a fervent right-wing ideologue,

also detests what he reportedly calls the "entitlement mentality" of family court parties who obtain fee waiver orders

or are on public assistance, according to a court employee. The template-like repetition of the judge's bad faith

tactics and overt socioeconomic biasalso evinces an abdication of oversight responsibilities by Court Executive

Officer Chris Volkers, superior court Presiding Judge Laurie Earl, and family court Supervising Judge James

Mize.

Gary issued the $920 child support order against Susan Ferrisat the request of veteran family law attorney

Timothy Zeffof the Sacramento family law firmLarscheid, Buchanan & Zeff. Zeff's partner is attorney and familycourtjudge pro tem J. Scot t Buchanan. At a subsequent hearing three weeks later, Zeff requested and Gary

issued an additional illegal orderdirecting Susan Ferristo pay $2,500 to her ex-husband for Zeff's attorney fees.

Click hereto view the May attorney fees order, which also is barren of any facts or law justifying the ruling.

The order also is unlawful because it does not record consideration by the judge of the comparative wealth of the

partiesas required by Family Code 271, the statute Gary used for the order. Click hereto view the law

applicable to the comparative wealth assessment requirement. Gary has a documented history of issuing unlawful,

appeal-proof orders in cases where one party is represented by ajudge pro tem famil y law at torneyand the

7/25/2019 Ferris Case - Judge Matthew J. Gary Misconduct "Body Language" Credibility Assessment - Commission on Judicial

11/14

Sacramento Family Court Newsaudits of other family court case files show that Judge Matthew Garyroutinely

issues severe, disproportionate Family Code 271attorney fee sanction orders against unrepresented, financially

disadvantaged litigants. The statute requires a judge to comparethe income, assets and liabilities of both parties

before making a sanction ruling. The law is impossible to misconstrue:

"In making an award pursuant to this section, the court shall take into consideration all

evidence concerning the parties' incomes, assets, and liabilities." reads Family Code 271.

Court reporter transcripts, minute orders and other records indicate that Gary - a former family law attorney - doesnot consider the income, assets and liabilities of both parties, and in cases where only one party has an attorney

consistently omits the mandatory comparative wealth assessmentrequired by the law.The draconian sanction

orders are unlawful but nonetheless effective against pro per parties with little knowledge of family law, much less

knowledge of the appellate law and procedure required to contest the order.

In one example cataloged by court watchdogs and memorialized by a court reporter's transcript , when directly

asked if he had considered the comparative wealth of the parties before assessing more than $10,759 in attorney

fee sanctions against an indigent, self-represented party, Gary conceded he had not, and appeared to express, or

feign ignorance of the law. The transcript recordsthe judge repeatedly using a verbal diversion to the payment

terms of the sanction, a separate componentof the sanction law unrelated to the comparative wealth

consideration. To view the transcript excerpt, click here. To view the complete transcript, click here.

The separate and distinct comparative wealth assessment is required specifically to prevent the misuse of Family

Code 271sanctions to discourage an economically weaker party from asserting their rights, according toboth state lawand the family law legal reference used by judgesand attorneys, California Practice Guide:

Family Law, published by The Rutter Group. To view view the Practice Guidereference, click here. To view

comparative wealth decisional law references, click here.

Family Code 271(c)provides that:

"An award of attorney 's fees an d cost s as a sanction pursuant to this sec tion is payab le only

from the property or income of the party against whom the sanction is imposed, except that

the award may be against the sanctioned party's share of community property ."

In addition to ignoring the comparative wealth legal requirement, Gary also ignores this mandatory component of

the law. Knowing an indigent litigant without assets or income will be unable to make a monthly sanction payment,

the judge orders the litigant to do so, ensuring default when the first payment comes due. When the payment is

missed, after 10-days the entire balance is due, as shown in the order above. Click hereto view the complete

order.

Indigent, Unrepresented Litigants

Judge pro temattorney Paula Salingerrequested and was granted this unprecedented sanctions orderby Judge Matthew J. Garyagainst

an indigent, unrepresented litigant. Gary recorded no facts, law or evidence in support of the order, making it virtually appeal-proof.

Sanction Payment Terms That Ensure Default

Knowing the litigant would default on the first payment, Judge Matthew Gary ordered an indigent party without assets or income of any

kind to make sanction payments of $25 per month on a balance of $10,759. If the payments were made, it would take 35 years to pay off

the debt. For the benefit of judge pro tem divorce attorney Paula Salinger, the judge sua sponte - on his own - also made the paymentterms subject to " adjustment at trial."

7/25/2019 Ferris Case - Judge Matthew J. Gary Misconduct "Body Language" Credibility Assessment - Commission on Judicial

12/14

And like the minute orders in the Ferris case, the facts and law justifying the unprecedented $10,759 attorney fee

sanction are omitted from Gary's minute order.Published by the Judicial Council, the California Judges

Benchguide Courtroom Control: Contempt and Sanctionsinstructs judges who issue Family Code 271

sanctions

"[t]o issue a written order and to avoid stating conclusions in the words of the statute. Give a

factual recital, with reasonable specificity, of the circumstances leading to the order. If

desired, incorporate by reference portions of a party's papers that adequately set forth the

conduct, circumstances and legal arguments providing the bases for the court's

conclusions." Click hereto view this section of the Benchguide.

The Benchguidedirections mirror California Rules of Cour t rule 2.30- sanctions for rules violations in civil cases

- and the elementary principle of law that "An order imposing sanctions must be in writing and must recite in detailthe conduct or circumstances justifying the order." Click here. Without any factual recital, portions of the party's

papers, or references to the conduct and circumstances justifying the ruling, Gary ordered the unrepresented,

indigent litigant to pay a $10,759 sanction for the attorney fees ofjud ge pro tem family law attorneyPaula

Salinger.

Salinger is an officer of the Sacramento County Bar Association Family Law Section and partner at the

controversialfamily law firm Woodruff , O'Hair, Posner and Salinger. To view the astonishing, complete hearing

transcript - which SFCNwill report on in an upcoming article - click here. Original, court case file records from this

and other cases indicate that Gary routinely uses unlawful sanction orders for the explicitly prohibited purpose of

discouraging economically weaker parties from asserting their rights, and to send the message that returning to

court will result in still more financial punishment.

In addition, to prevent the one-sided, unfair outcomes previously common in family court cases with socioeconomic

imbalances between the parties, the Legislature has explicitly mandated equalizing wealth disparities in a variety offamily court proceedings. For example, in the context of providing financially disadvantaged parties with attorney

representation, to ensure parity between the parties attorney fee awards must be "just and reasonable," and take

into account the "relative circumstances" of each spouse. Click hereto view more than 40 court of appeal

decisions emphasizing this critical, long-established principle of family law.

Gary also has perfected the use of "appeal-proof" orders, which make appeals attempted by indigent, self-

represented litigants futile, according to court reform advocates. Court watchdogs have collected minuteorders

authored by Gary in cases where one party is unrepresented and financially disadvantaged, and compared them

with the orders of other judges. The orders issued by Gary consistently show that the judge does not memorialize

the facts, law and evidence supporting the ruling(s) issued, which virtually always are against the pro per. Appellate

courts have emphasized that a basic, fundamental duty of a trial court judge is to protect the appeal rights of all

litigants by making and filing in the trial court record findings on all material issues.

"Under our system it is mandatory that the superior court make and file its finding of the

ultimate fact on each material issue created by the pleadings ," Herman v. Glasscock. Click

"It is elementary that a failure to find on all material issu es raised by the pleadings is ground

for reversal." Kaiser v. Mansfield. Click here.

By comparison, this orderfrom a different judge in a Sacramento Family Cour tcase also involving modification of

a child support order contains seven pages of the facts, evidence and law which the judge relied on in making the

order. Click hereto view the order. And this orderfrom another judge involving modification of custody/parenting

time contains 16 pages of facts, evidence and law in support of the order. To view the order, click here. Gary

To avoid being reversed on appeal, unethical judges will leave out of an order the facts, law and evidence on which an order is based,

reference. "Such findings not only will enable the parties to appreciate the basis for the child support order,

they will facil itate judicial review in any fut ure appeal..." according to In re Marriage of Hubner, one of the

decisional law references cited by the Practice Guide. Click hereto view the Hubner case.

Although Gary has an legal and ethical obligation to preserve the appeal rights of all litigants, including the poor,

under the doctrine of implied findings any appeal taken from an order authored by the judge is all but futile.

Where a trial court order is barren of facts supporting the order, the doctrine requires a reviewing court to infer that

the trial court judge made all factual findings necessary to support the order. A related legal principle, the

presumption of correctness, requires an appellate court to "indulge all presumptions supporting the judgment or

order" when the order issued by a trial court judge omits the facts, law and evidence on which the ruling is based.

Unethical judges who issue rulings they know could be reversed on appeal will "cloak" the rulings in the

presumption of correctness by leaving an incomplete record for review, according to the legal reference used by

judges and attorneys for appellate court procedure, California Practice Guide: Civil Appeals and Writs,

published by The Rutter Group. The orders issued by Gary also violate the Trial Court Performance Standards

specified in the California Rules of Court Standards of Judicial Administration, including the following

provisions of Standard 10.17:

(3)(A) Trial court procedures faithfully adhere to relevant laws, procedural rules, and established

policies...

(3)(D) Decisions of the trial court unambiguously address the issues presented to it and make clear how

compliance can be achieved...

(3)(F) Records of all relevant court decisions and actions are accurate and properly preserved.

Click hereto view these portions of Standard 10.17.

An example of an attempted appeal of a ruling which Judge Matthew Garycloaked in the presumption of

correctness is thisunpublished 3rd District Court of Appealdecision. The reviewing court noted that the facts,

law and evidence recited in the written trial court order issued by Gary consisted entirely of "insufficient facts/res

judicata." The court of appeal mechanically invoked presumption of correctness and implied findings principles,

writing "we must conclusively presume evidence was presented that is sufficient to support the court's findings,"

and upheld Gary's ruling. Click hereto view the court of appeal decision. Click hereto view appellate court docket

information verifying Matthew Garyas the trial court judge.

Witnesses who attended the April and May 2012 Susan Ferris

hearings said that Judge Matthew Garybecame embroiled

and appeared to issue the child support and attorney feesanction orders to vindictively punish Susan Ferrisfor

asserting her rights in prior proceedings - including an

unsuccessful attempt to disqualify the judge - and

for associating with a group of court reform advocates,

including Robert Saunders, who also act as court watchers

for the indigent and disabled.

Gary reportedly has been livid at Saunders - also indigent,

unrepresented and disabled - since

Saunders successfully had the judge removed from his own

case by a neutral, outside judge from San Joaquin Countyin

2010. Click herefor our exclusive coverage of Gary's

disqualification by Saunders.

Gary and his long time court clerk Christina Arcuriallegedly

are right-wing ideologues who despise what they refer to as

the "entitlement mentality" of indigent, family court litigants

who obtain fee waiver orders, and disabled litigants on public

assistance, according to a family court employee

whistleblower who provided the information on the condition of

anonymity because they could be subject to retaliation for the disclosure. To view a description of retaliation

against a previous Sacramento County Superior Court employee whistleblower, click here.

Court records indicate that both Gary and Arcuri convey socioeconomic bias in performing their employment-

related functions and duties. Bias based on socioeconomic status is explicitly prohibited by four separate sections

of the California Code of Judicial Ethics [pdf] . Canon 3B(5)requires judges to perform all judicial duties without

bias or prejudice, including bias or prejudice based on socioeconomic status. Judges must require staff and court
