Request for comment 1 of 2 Subject: Request for comment From: Brad Racino Date: Tue, 26 Dec 2017 11:13:12 -0800 To: Cory Briggs Mr. Briggs, I'd like to speak with you about the 4th District's published opinion concerning your CREED-21 case. In particular, I'd like to ask you: -About the court sanctions -If you stand by your initial refusal to produce a member for standing per privacy concerns -Your response to the allegations that CREED-21 and SDOG are "shell corporations" the Briggs Law Corp. uses to litigate for profit I'd also like to ask about: -The letter you sent to the mayor and city council of Rohnert Park in November 2015. In it, you urged them not to approve a community facilities district “on behalf of my clients.” ------One of those clients is the California Voter-Taxpayer Protection Organization. According to public documents, you are the chief executive officer, secretary, chief financial officer, agent and legal counsel for that organization. ------The other client is the California Taxpayers Action Network. You were listed as the organization’s president on documents from May of that year. -The 2014 BLC job posting for an associate-level attorney, where you advertised a possible "Non-Profit Employment Credit." ------The announcement read, “If it is helpful to the successful candidate to be officially employed by a non-profit organization (e.g., to receive student-loan forgiveness), it may be possible to have the successful candidate employed by a non-profit but overseen on legal matters” by the Briggs Law Corp. 12/27/17, 11:38 AM Request for comment 2 of 2 -------What did you mean by that? What nonprofits did you have in mind when creating that job posting? Lastly, as someone very familiar with SDOG, I'd like to ask your thoughts on its case v. inewsource and San Diego State University. SDOG has lost at the superior and appellate court levels and has now appealed to the state supreme court. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts. Thanks, look forward to talking. -Brad -Brad Racino Senior Reporter and Assistant Director cell: 845.553.4170 @bradracino web: inewsource.org Attachments: inewsource-logo-email.jpg 0 bytes 12/27/17, 11:38 AM
