                                                                              AND BY REFERENCE HERETO.

                                                                    

    I, Albert L. Peia, residing in Los Angeles, in the State of California, of full age and being duly sworn according to law, hereby state the following facts of my own knowledge under penalty of perjury as follows: 

1.      At all times relevant hereto, U.S. GOVERNMENT CO-CONSPIRATORS /EMPLOYEES (CURRENT AND FORMER - JUDICIAL, LEGISLATIVE, AND EXECUTIVE)WITH KNOWLEDGE OF CRIMINAL ACTS SET FORTH HEREIN, acted in violation of federal statutes in furtherance of said criminal acts, to obstruct justice, obstruct criminal investigations thereof, retaliate against a witness/victim/informant, commit fraud in cases under Title 11, U.S.C., among other criminal acts set forth with specificity hereinafter. 

                      Calls To Defendants Coan, Lewendon, and Miltenberger

   I Stated that I Needed Information For Purpose of A Proper Affidavit Concerning the following which was articulated to a secretary, by voicemail, and to Timothy Miltenberger in a phone conference as set forth hereinafter.  The precise areas that I indicated I believed a court would want to see in such an affidavit given the totality of circumstances (particularly the criminal activity, RICO among other) in this case were articulated to secretarial personnel as messages to be relayed to Miltenberger, voicemail messages to Miltenberger, and in a conversation with Timothy Miltenberger himself , who referred to defendant coan as his “client” (not “partner”) are as follows:

·        The status of the judgment entered in my favor on or around 9-19-97 by Judge Thompson, United States District Court, District of Connecticut, Docket #3:93cv2065(AWT), copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”;

·        As referenced in the 12-11-97  telephonic examination (I was at the Los Angeles, California office of what I believe was the bankruptcy trustee for this California district – defendant coan was in Connecticut), the status of the David George Swann (DOB: 4-6-60 / self-admitted junkie who had 4 guilty pleas to theft in less than 5 years in California) matter, which was ripe for default and/or  judgment, [I had joined the trustee coan as plaintiff and indicated Swann’s familiarity with theft as was so of my business/personal assets making time of the essence in proceeding for recovery (replevin and damages the remedies sought). Defendant coan purposefully/wrongfully had the bankruptcy court dismiss same at the hearing on default saying he would decide whether to bring same];

·        Anything regarding the Adversary Proceedings which were ripe for the entry of default/default judgment, assets, surplus funds yet unaccounted for, which defendant coan wrongfully/illegally caused dismissal thereof, Exhibit B.

·        Anything  regarding the disposition of the contents of the storage unit in Danbury, Connecticut  (including as related in the 12-11-97 telephonic examination what remained of my art collection which I indicated  had probably gone up in value);

·        Whether there were any criminal proceedings/referrals for the documented RICO among other criminal acts (which coincidentally caused me damages/harm/injury).

    Not surprisingly, given the integral involvement of said defendants in the criminal activity as herein, no response, clarification, or explanation was forthcoming. The details concerning the calls are set forth immediately hereinafter:

1-5-04      I initiated my first call to Coan, Lewendon, Gulliver, & Miltenberger subsequent to the action of the U.S. Supreme Court, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, all violative of RICO, having given defendant Coan and subject defendants time to cure, in light of their illegal cover-up. I asked to speak with Timothy Miltenberger and was told by the receptionist that he was not in. I gave my name and phone number and further stated I would call back on Friday, January 9, 2004.

1-9-04      I called back on January 9, 2004, was told he was not in, was asked whether I wanted to leave a voicemail message, to which I responded that I needed to speak to him personally concerning an affidavit I would be filing with the court, and set forth the subject areas of concern in such an affidavit. I gave my name and phone number and further stated I would call back on Friday, January 16, 2004.

1-16-04     I called back on January 16, 2004, was told he was not in, was asked whether  I wanted to leave a voicemail message, to which I responded that I needed to speak  to him personally concerning an affidavit I would be filing with the court, and set forth the subject areas of concern in such an affidavit. I gave my name and phone number and further stated I would call back on Friday, January 23, 2004.

1-23-04      I called back on January 23, 2004, was told he was not in, was asked whether  I wanted to leave a voicemail message, to which I responded that I needed to speak  to him personally concerning an affidavit I would be filing with the court, and referenced the prior articulated subject areas of concern for such an affidavit. I gave my name and phone number and further stated I would call back on Friday, January 30, 2004.

1-30-04    I called back on January 30, 2004, was told he was not in, and immediately transferred to Timothy Miltenberger’s voicemail wherein I referenced the prior message which the receptionist had indicated had been given to Mr. Miltenberger and briefly reiterated those subject areas of concern for the affidavit.

2-2-04    I called back on February 2, 2004, was told there had been some kind of a power problem by one who identified herself as a new receptionist, Lisa, and that Timothy Miltenberger had been called into a meeting. I gave my name and phone number and further stated I would call back on Friday, February 6, 2004.

 2-6-04  I called back on February 6, 2004, no one was in and at the prompt I left a voicemail message wherein I referenced the prior     messages which the receptionist had indicated had been given to Mr. Miltenberger and briefly reiterated those subject areas of concern for the affidavit.  

2-13-04  I called back on February 13, 2004 and had occasion to speak with Mr. Miltenberger. 

   I Stated that I Needed Information For Purpose of A Proper Affidavit and articulated the precise areas that I indicated I believed a court would want to see in such an affidavit given the totality of circumstances (particularly the criminal activity, RICO among other) in this case as follows:

        The status of the judgment entered in my favor on or around 9-19-97 by Judge Thompson, United States District Court, District of Connecticut, Docket #3:93cv2065(AWT), copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit “A”;

        As referenced in the 12-11-97  telephonic examination (I was at the Los Angeles, California office of what I believe was the bankruptcy trustee for this California district – defendant coan was in Connecticut), the status of the David George Swann (DOB: 4-6-60 / self-admitted junkie who had 4 guilty pleas to theft in less than 5 years in California) matter, which was ripe for default and/or  judgment, [I had joined the trustee coan as plaintiff and indicated Swann’s familiarity with theft as was so of my business/personal assets making time of the essence in proceeding for recovery (replevin and damages the remedies sought). Defendant coan purposefully/wrongfully had the bankruptcy court dismiss same at the hearing on default saying he would decide whether to bring same];

        Anything regarding the Adversary Proceedings which were ripe for the entry of default/default judgment, assets, surplus funds yet unaccounted for, which defendant coan wrongfully/illegally caused dismissal thereof, Exhibit B;

        Anything  regarding the disposition of the contents of the storage unit in Danbury, Connecticut  (including as related in the 12-11-97 telephonic examination what remained of my art collection which I indicated  had probably gone up in value);

        Whether there were any criminal proceedings/referrals for the documented RICO among other criminal acts (which coincidentally caused me damages/harm/injury). 

In this phone contact with Miltenberger for which I meticulously made record of his response to my statement of Judge Chatigny, U.S.D.C.J., District of Connecticut, having incorporated in his decision my stated intent to sue defendant coan for which no prior leave of court was to be necessary,  Timothy Miltenberger responded that same was his recollection as well, although contrary to the  position he had taken in papers filed on behalf of defendant coan, his “client/partner”. 

I gave my phone number and further stated I would call back on Friday, February 20, 2004. 

2-20-04    I called back on February 20, 2004 and was told to call back on Monday, February 23, 2004.

2-27-04    I called back on February 27, 2004, was told he was not in, and I gave my name and phone number for a return call and further stated I would call back on Friday, March 5, 2004 at the same time.

I called back a bit over an hour later, was told Mr. Miltenberger was on the line, and stated that I would hold for him. Mr. Miltenberger finally picked up and related to me that his client had not gotten back to him, to which I responded that I would call back in one week.

              I gave my  name and phone number for a return call and  further stated I would call

Box 862156, Los Angeles, CA 90086) and further stated I would call back on Friday, April 30, 2004 and that I needed a response. 

4-30-04    I called back on April 30, 2004, and was immediately transferred to Timothy Miltenberger’s voicemail wherein I referenced the prior messages which the receptionist had indicated had been given to Mr. Miltenberger, which I had discussed with him, and as well, left as voicemail messages,  briefly referencing those subject areas of concern for the affidavit. I further stated the need for a response for the affidavit, that a resolution of the matter would be wise in light of the substantial illegal activities (of defendants/co-conspirators), that I had diligently kept a record of my calls, and that I would call back in one week.

I left my name and phone number for a return call, and also left my  P.O. Box (P.O. Box 862156, Los Angeles, CA 90086).

Wrongful Conduct/Pattern of Racketeering Activity

             2. Defendants/co-conspirators, at times relevant hereto, said

         conducted and/or participated in the affairs of an

         enterprise through a pattern of racketeering activity, affecting

         and having a nexus to interstate commerce thereby, with the

         intent to damage and defraud plaintiff and obstruct justice

         thereby, by reason of which violations of 18 U.S.C. Sections

         1961 et seq., plaintiff sustained injury to his property and

         business. Specifically, Alan Shiff purported Chief Judge at

         USBC fraudulently misrepresented the date of dismissal

         of a proceeding over which he himself had presided perpetrating a fraud

         connected with a case under Title 11 as proscribed in Title 18 U.S.C.

         Section 1961(1) (D); and further, brought a (retaliatory against a

         witness/victim/informant violative of Section l5l3) spurious contempt

         proceeding against plaintiff, obstructing justice thereby in

         violation of Section 1503 (and additionally was without

         jurisdiction to legitimately do so). Quite simply, he lied

         (materially false fraudulent representation); knew he lied

         (scienter); lied with the intention of deceiving; that the lies

         were relied upon (ie.,government, courts, etc.); said fraud

         in connection with a case under Title 11 directly causing damage

         to plaintiff’s property and business (and as well to plaintiff’s

         estate and creditors thereof) . Defendants did utilize the mails in

         perpetrating said fraud (on courts, creditors, plaintiff, etc.)

         constituting the RICO predicate violation of mail fraud thereby,

         violative of Section 1341 (discussed infra at paragraph # ).

         Defendants/co-conspirators utilized false hearing

         dates to wrongfully dismiss adversary proceedings, defrauding

         plaintiff and creditors thereby, Exhibit “C”,

         and violative of Section 1503, utilizing the mails

         in perpetrating said scheme in violation of Section 1341

        did feloniously remove filed federal court documents for the purpose of

        defrauding plaintiff, covering up various crimes connected thereto, obstructing

        justice in violation of Section 1503 thereby, causing damages to

        plaintiff’s property and business. Exhibit “D”.        

           3. In addition to the foregoing, federal

         employee Maryanne Trump (Barry) (and USA thereby) did

         corrupt the federal judicial process obstructing justice in

         violation of Section 1503 thereby, and Section 1510 as a conse-

         quence thereof, even as substantial sums of (drug) money were

         being laundered, in violation of Section 1956, through

         her family’s/brothers’ casinos by RICO defendants before her,

         said “quid pro quo” in the form of drug money flows  constituted a violation of

         Section 201 relating to bribery.

            4. At or around the time of the retaliatory

         and spurious contempt proceeding, late 1992/early1993 , Trump had “retained”

         the brother of then U.S. Attorney Christopher Droney, which further

         discovery may have yielded a similar conclusion consistent with

         said Trump modus operandi. Federal employee (and then U.S.

         Trustee, and USA thereby) Hugh Leonard was placed

         on (bribe) retainer by RICO defendants Dilena and companies,

         violative of the predicate act of bribery, Section 201, as well

         as obstructing justice, Section 1503, consistent therewith.

             5. Facts giving rise to what a trier of fact

         could reasonably infer from same, particularly when coupled

         with the similar scenario (a more direct “USA bribe deal”,

         Section 201) vis-a-vis federal employee (and then U.S. Attorney)

         Sam Allito, federal employee (and then Assistant U.S. Attorney, and                   

         USA thereby) who did “cut a bribe deal” (Section 201) and as well,

         did obstruct justice (Section 1503) by removing/having removed

         from the Office of the U.S. Attorney documents and/or file

         concerning drug money laundering (Section 1956) and other

         federal law violations. 

           6. Jonathon Lacey did, upon information/facts giving rise to what a

         trier of fact could reasonably infer from same and belief,  “cut a bribe  

         deal”(Section 201) and as well, did obstruct justice (Section 1503) by

         removing from the Office of the U.S. Attorney documents and/or file

         concerning drug money laundering (Section 1956) and other

         federal law violations.  Federal employees in Virginia

        (and defendant USA thereby) illegally failed to consummate the

         Chapter 7 proceeding in Virginia in accordance with law, and

         for the purpose of defrauding plaintiff (fraud in connection

         with a case under Title 11), and as well, obstructing justice

         (Section 1503) thereby, by reason of which plaintiff sustained

         damage to his property and business (also damaging creditors,

         and committing bankruptcy fraud thereby).        

             7. Defendant Coan did consistent with the aforesaid perpetrate

         a fraud (connected with a case under Title 11) upon the estate

         of plaintiff and purposefully and with the intent to damage

         plaintiff did cause the dismissal of proceedings, obstructing

         justice (Section 1503) thereby, by reason of which plaintiff

         sustained injury to his property and business.

         and Exhibit “B”. The same violations apply to the adversary

         proceeding concerning junkie and thief, David George Swann

         (DOB 4-6-60; three guilty pleas to theft in less than 5 years

         residence in California) who stole (bankruptcy) estate among

         other assets of plaintiff and against whom default (judgment)

         was ripe for entry (violations of Sections 1513, 102 and that

         concerning extortion would also have been appropriate) . Defen-

         dant Coan has neither abandoned nor rebrought same, violating

         Section 1503 and (defrauding) damaging plaintiff thereby.

               8. The aforesaid defendants also did violate Section 1962(d) by

         conspiring to violate Section 1962(c) by and during during the

         course of the conspiracy, consistent with the object of the

         conspiracy in relation to the overt acts in furtherance thereof,

        did conspire to commit a fraud in connection with a case under

        Title 11 and obstruct justice thereby, with knowledge of

         the commission of predicate acts as set forth herein, were

         a part of the pattern of racketeering activity by which plaintiff

         sustained injury to his property by reason of said overt predicate acts.

9. Specifically, At all relevant times, defendants Richard M. Coan, Timothy Miltenberger, Whitney Lewendon, and Coan, Lewendon, Gulliver, and Miltenberger, LLC., the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut and the other conspirators associated with this enterprise, conducted or participated, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of this enterprise's affairs through a "pattern of racketeering activity" within the meaning of RICO, 18 U.S.C. § 1961(5), in violation of RICO, 18 U.S.C. § 1962(c). Specifically, Defendant Richard M. Coan, in his capacity as successor plaintiff was ordered by the court to file papers consistent with his capacity and duty as successor plaintiff and Trustee, in a number of adversary proceedings brought by debtor/plaintiff herein for which the entry of default had been requested and the entry of default judgment appropriate inasmuch as proper service had been made with some matters being without defense, ie., properties (outside the state of Connecticut, ie., New Jersey) sold during the pendency of the automatic stay pursuant to §362 of Title 11, U.S.C., unaccounted for substantial funds (in New Jersey) generated from said wrongful acts, theft of personalty/business assets (in California, New Jersey, and Connecticut), loss of rents (in New Jersey, California, and Connecticut), among other causes and damages, including a substantial fraud on debtor/plaintiff herein perpetrated by R.I.C.O. defendants/co-conspirators involved in laundering drug money through the Trump (of New York) casinos (in New Jersey) along with other criminal activities covered by and violative of federal law. All of said matters were meritorious, substantial, some without defense, as well as some for which partial settlements and/or payments had been made. Defendant Richard M. Coan, in his capacity as Trustee, and Coan, Lewendon, Gulliver, and Miltenberger, LLC., thereby, and to cover-up various criminal activities including, inter alia, illegal drug money laundering, bribery, fraud, theft, other violations of federal law including  §362 of Title 11, U.S.C., and the illegal, wrongful and culpable failure to conclude the 1989 Virginia Chapter 7 proceeding under Title 11 in accordance with federal law, among others, wrongfully, negligently, and culpably failed to file any document whatsoever. Defendant Richard M. Coan, in his capacity as Trustee, and defendant Coan, Lewendon, Gulliver, and Miltenberger, LLC., thereby, along  defendants Timothy Miltenberger, Whitney Lewendon have at all times attempted to evade process and avoid culpability and accountability  for defendants’ wrongful and illegal conduct.

      10.   It should be noted that in conspiring to violate

         section 1962 (c) by reason of which violations plaintiff

         sustained injury to his business and property, defendants evinced

         intent to injure plaintiff and benefit (former) RICO/adversary

         proceeding defendants, and as well did obstruct justice (and

         criminal investigations thereof). It should be noted as documented

         therein that co-conspirator USA has continuously and consistently

         engaged in innumerable enumerated acts of racketeering activity

         as set forth in 18 U.S.C. Section(l), most notably subpart (A),

         viz., dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as

         defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act), which

         is chargeable under state law and punishable by imprisonment

         for more than one year, and the concomitants of said racketeer-

         ing activity set forth in said subpart, namely, murder, bribery,

         and extortion. In furtherance thereof, as is relevant herein,

         USA also has been engaged in and violated the predicate

         acts of obstruction of justice (Section 1503), obstruction of

         criminal investigations (Section 1510), laundering of monetary

          instruments (Section 1956) , use of interstate commerce facilities

           in the commission of murder-for-hire (Section 1958), obstruction

           of state or local law enforcement (Section 1511), retaliation

           against a witness, victim, or informant (Section 1513), subpart

           (D) as regards the felonious manufacture, importation, receiving,

           concealment, buying, selling, or otherwise dealing in a controlled

           substance or listed chemical (as defined in section 102 of the

           Controlled Substances Act), punishable under any law of the

           United States, and subpart (E) any act which is indictable under

           the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act. As set

           forth and as pertains to paragraph #3 infra USA has

           violated Section 1962  vis-a-vis receipt of income through

           a pattern of racketeering, the investment of same in an

           enterprise, affecting interstate commerce thereby, causing

           damage to property and business by reason of said racketeering

           activity; and, Section 1962 , through a pattern of

           racketeering activity, acquired an interest in and/or maintained

           control of an enterprise, affecting interstate commerce thereby,

           causing damage to property and business by reason of said

           acquisition of interest in, maintenance of, and/or control of

           said enterprise.

           A. Felonious removal of filed federal court documents by

         federal employees of the bankruptcy court over which Alan Shiff

         presides, among others; viz., on or about March 4, 1993 a motion

         to file nunc pro tunc pre-trial memoranda was illegally removed

         from the court file; the courtesy copy delivered by hand said

         day to defendant Shiff’s law secretary who identified himself

         as ‘David’ and who indicated same would be given to defendant

         Shiff that same day, Exhibit “D”; 

           B. Fraudulent and otherwise false statements by federal

         employee, Alan Shiff concerning a dismissal date upon which

         spurious contempt proceedings were predicated and which caused

         great damage to plaintiff before said spurious proceedings were

         dismissed on the government’s own motion owing to mistake

         of fact and law; specifically, on or about January 18, 1993

         defendant Shiff did make a false representation regarding the

         date he dismissed a prior Ch. 13 proceeding of plaintiff

         stating said date to have been October 8, 1992, upon

         which a spurious contempt proceeding against plaintiff was
