Dear 
  Ms. 
  Hearn 
  and 
  Mr. 
  Racino:
 
  
As 
  you 
  are 
  aware, 
  our 
  office 
  represents 
  North 
  County 
  Transit 
  District 
  (NCTD) 
  in 
  the 
  li@ga@on 
  ini@ated 
  by 
  Virginia
Moeller. 
  
 
  
NCTD 
  is 
  deeply 
  concerned 
  and 
  troubled 
  by 
  the 
  July 
  23, 
  2015 
  e-­‐mail 
  sent 
  to 
  its 
  Board 
  Members 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Racino. 
   
  As 
  an
ini@al 
   
  maMer, 
  Mr. 
  Racino’s 
  e-­‐mail 
  indicates 
  an 
  incomplete 
  inves@ga@on 
  into 
  the 
  facts 
  of 
  the 
  Virginia 
  Moeller 
  case. 
  
Mr. 
  Racino 
  admits 
  that 
  he 
  has 
  only 
  obtained 
  the 
  Plain@ff’s 
  documents 
  related 
  to 
  NCTD’s 
  Mo@on 
  for 
  Summary
Judgment/Adjudica@on. 
   
  It 
  appears 
  he 
  has 
  chosen 
  not 
  to 
  obtain 
  NCTD’s 
  publically 
  available 
  mo@on, 
  the 
  declara@ons
and 
  evidence 
  suppor@ng 
  NCTD’s 
  Mo@on, 
  or 
  a 
  complete 
  copy 
  of 
  Mr. 
  Tucker’s 
  deposi@on 
  transcript 
  before 
  wri@ng 
  his
story. 
   
  Mr. 
  Racino 
  has 
  apparently 
  made 
  a 
  conscious 
  decision 
  to 
  not 
  obtain 
  the 
  complete 
  record 
  in 
  order 
  to 
  once
again 
  publish 
  a 
  one-­‐sided 
  piece 
  against 
  NCTD. 
   
  NCTD’s 
  posi@on 
  is 
  made 
  very 
  clear 
  by 
  its 
  Mo@on 
  and 
  suppor@ng
evidence, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  Mr. 
  Racino 
  could 
  have 
  very 
  easily 
  obtained.
 
  
It 
  also 
  appears 
  clear 
  that 
  Mr. 
  Racino 
  will 
  not 
  men@on 
  the 
  fact 
  that, 
  in 
  ruling 
  on 
  NCTD’s 
  Mo@on 
  for 
  Summary
Judgment/Adjudica@on, 
  aXer 
  considering 
  the 
  No@ce 
  of 
  Lodgment 
  upon 
  which 
  his 
  ar@cle 
  will 
  apparently 
  rely, 
  the
court 
  dismissed 
  three 
  of 
  Ms. 
  Moeller’s 
  four 
  causes 
  of 
  ac@on. 
  
 
  
As 
  you 
  know, 
  the 
  No@ce 
  of 
  Lodgment 
  was 
  filed 
  months 
  ago, 
  on 
  April 
  3, 
  2015. 
   
  The 
  mo@ve 
  behind 
  publishing 
  a
one-­‐sided 
  ar@cle 
  based 
  on 
  incomplete 
  research, 
  months 
  aXer 
  the 
  fact 
  and 
  essen@ally 
  on 
  the 
  eve 
  of 
  trial, 
  is 
  highly
suspicious 
  and 
  appears 
  to 
  have 
  the 
  clear 
  purpose 
  of 
  tain@ng 
  and/or 
  causing 
  bias 
  against 
  NCTD. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
  
 
  
NCTD 
  categorically 
  denies 
  Ms. 
  Moeller’s 
  claims, 
  but 
  feels 
  it 
  would 
  be 
  inappropriate 
  to 
  provide 
  more 
  specific
comments 
  in 
  light 
  of 
  the 
  upcoming 
  trial.
