RE:  Checks and balances between the branches of government to protect and serve law abiding U.S. citizens
egregiously violated by government when the court system fails to uphold the U.S. Constitution, the California
Constitution and/or rule of law.

Dear
President Barack Obama, Congresswoman Karen Bass, Senator Diane Feinstein:

As a better than thirty year taxpaying resident of the City of Los Angeles, specifically the 33rd Congressional
district, 2nd Los Angeles County District, and 10th Los Angeles City Council District, I petition you for redress
where the Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles has failed to uphold the rule of law, the U.S. and
California Constitutions.

Since January 19, 2011, I have been without water because LADWP water utility workers removed LADWP's
water meter, and installed a tamper-proof plug on the utility source, leaving me without a source of water to my
residence.   I’m also a 30 year employee of the LADWP to which a substantial sum of my earned retirement
benefits are being held hostage by the LADWP, while the LADWP threatens to discontinue electric service to my
residence.  This is of court record in Los Angeles Superior Court Case 10K18049, the Demurrer to Case
10K18049, and the proposed Judgment order before Judge Steven Kleifield.

JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION, Judge:  An official of the judicial branch of government with authority to decide
lawsuits and preside over trials brought before the court. The term “judge” may also refer to all judicial officers,
including Supreme Court justices. An applicant for appointment as a judge must have been admitted to practice
law in California for at least 10 years.

NON-JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION, The Executive Officer/Clerk, under the direction of the Presiding Judge,
supervises all administrative activities and personnel, coordinates all staff activities and has charge of planning
and improving management methods.

A signed or unsigned clerk’s default judgment and/or any other form of clerk’s judgment are inappropriate,
voidable, and unenforceable.  
Deputy Clerk Delores Odom-Stocks should be fired.  Deputy Clerk Delores Odom-
Stocks is not qualified to
render a court decision.  This should not be allowed on my “dime”, and at the expense of
the rights of
Michael L. Lofton, et al.  It is definitely inappropriate for any judge to enter a default judgment against
Michael L. Lofton, the only party to appear on
January 27, 2011.  

I paid the necessary filing and court fees in the
amount of $370.00 to the Stanley Mosk Los Angeles Superior
Court.  Article 6, Section 19, of the California Constitution mandates Judge Steven Kleifield, the
judge of court of
record, render the appropriate court decision.    Since there are no issues in dispute in LA Superior Court Case
10K18049, and LA Superior Court Case
895188, then execution and enforcement of the law are warranted for
the plaintiffs in LA Superior Court 10K18049, and for the plaintiffs in Superior Court Case
895188.

The Job of the Congressman, “
There are cases where an individual has been wrongfully treated by his
government and about the only way, unless the individual resorts to court, and even in some cases the courts are
not able to give proper relief, the only area or avenue open to the individual is through his representative. When
you find a bona fide error has been made, I suggest that you make a maximum effort to remedy it. This I feel is a
vital and important function of those of us in the House of Representatives”.   

Authors: Donald G. Tacheron and Morris Udall, from the book entitled, “The Job of the Congressman”, pages 65
and 66.  (The above excerpt from “
The Job of the Congressman” holds true for any elected office holder, and/or
U.S. Citizen.)

I’m petitioning you, as a law abiding taxpaying citizen so that you and other elected officials can exercise your
authority to:

Hold Judge Steven Kleifield accountable to Article 6, Section 19, of the California Constitution to resolve LA
Superior Court Cases 10K18049, 895188, and the proposed judgment order in his possession.....the
buck stops
with
Judge Lee Smalley Edmond

Uphold the 14th Amendment, USC, “Equal Justice and Protection Under the Law”, to resolve LA Superior Court Cases
10K18049, 895188, and the proposed judgment order.

Sincerely

Michael L. Lofton

2 enclosures, (1) Unenforceable clerk’s default judgment as signed by Deputy Clerk Delores Odom-Stocks (2) Court fee
payment receipt.

"Insisting on honesty as the only policy, the Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that public employees can be punished for
lying, even when they merely deny an accusation that later turns out to be true”.

“ ….Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist. 'An employee who is asked about possible wrongdoing has only two responses:
Tell the truth or say nothing. (LA Times, January 22, 1998)

........"Tell the Truth or Say Nothing" also applies to everyone, which includes the
President of the U.S., any Supreme
Court Justice, County Court Presiding Judge, County Court Assistant Presiding Judge,  Judge,  court "issuing worthless
and unenforcable clerk judgment "clerk-ment" clerks, Deputy City Attorney, elected official, Police Chief, police officer,
lawyer,
journalist(s) or newspaper publisher, social worker, probation officer, electrician, etc.

PS:  To date, President Obama, Congresspersons Allen West and Karen Bass, and 2nd District Supervisor Mark Ridley
Thomas  have not responded.  Congresswoman Maxine Waters is the only elected official who shows interest in the
concerns of inner-city residents.  
 Senator Diane Feinstein local and county government elected officials are dysfunctional.

There is no question that elected black leaders are dysfunctional and don't intend to uphold the "rule of law".
