Sandy Seddon and the lawyers that came in the same box need to pay more attention to the people who live here and stop “Covering Up” for past “misbehavior ?” by some previous Board members. A “Cover-up” is a legal term (look it up) and if proven can be a very nasty surprise to a lot of people who think they are protected but are not. In other words — if you know a violation of law (or Statute) was committed and keep silent to protect the person (or persons) who committed the violations, it may prove to be a violation in itself. It also can effectively eliminate any Statute of Limitations that existed at the time the offence was discovered.

I’m just saying ——

[Norman McCullough]

Rana — and all concerned.

We have had new Boards elected and new Presidents and Vice Presidents and new Lawyers and new Managers but NOTHING has changed as far as the leadership’s policy of “cover up the past” is concerned. They will lie when ever it is convenient to lie. They will deny and act like every other tyrant who needs to cover up the sins of their predecessors.

I have been told by the current State Attorney General that he has appointed an investigator to look into some of their current funny business concerning a court case right here in Henderson but it may take a while. I can prove that one of our current Lawyers lied in Court but I just have to wait and see what his investigation turns up.

Hopefully the Nevada AG will put a stop to the liars and their cover ups. As far as I’m concerned I will not meekly hide away and be silent. I want Justice and I will go fully public if necessary to expose these liars.

Some residents might wonder why our Manager (Sandy Seddon) and the Association’s Lawyers were not here on May 27, 2016 in the afternoon. They were attending an Arbitration and Mediation meeting at 1:00 pm on that day. It didn’t go very well and because it failed I was given permission to seek Justice in the Civil Courts (including the Small Claims Courts)

It all started in April of 2011 when I filed an NRED complaint (IS-11-2397) against then Board Member Roz Berman for not correcting the record when I was falsely charged by Board Member Jack Troia of violating a “Code of Conduct. I complained against Roz Berman when I found out that she KNEW that the “Code of Conduct” had been removed when her husband had TWO complaints from TWO different woman against him. On April 14, 2011 I received a letter from NRED that informed me that The Compliance Section does not have Jurisdiction and they suggested that I initiate a Alternate Dispute Resolution process which I did.

After a lot of hassling with our Board and their legal staff finally on March 28, 2016 I was notified by a State Mediator that an Arbitration Meeting was being scheduled. That is the why and wherefore that took up the time of our new manager Sandy Seddon on May 27, 2016. She knows all about Roz Berman and her husband that had TWO Code of Conduct Complaints filed against him when she voted to eliminate it. She also knows that Jack Troia falsely claimed that I had violated that Non-Existent Code.

I wonder why this information is not published on our SCA Website?

I would like to also thank Rana and Dan for their success. Sometimes it seems like the “little guy” never gets a break but once in a while Justice is achieved by some dedicated and persistent ‘good guys” that care.

[Norman McCullough]

Marcia;

I have received a letter (Dated Feb. 22, 2017), from The Nevada Attorney Generals Office regarding the “Kangaroo Court” hearing our Board of Directors conducted when I was accused of violating a Non-existent Code of Conduct by former Board member Jack Troia. The letter informed me that my complaint has been forwarded to an investigative unit and I am continuing to furnish that Office with additional evidence. The excessive legal costs you mentioned may soon be tripling. I am continuing to contribute additional evidence from my files. If the Nevada AG finds cause, the case may involve our Community Manager and the Legal staff and a failed Mediation attempt.

Sun City Anthem employs some very expensive Attorney’s and I for one want to know if we employ them for the benefit of the residents or do we employ them only to defend the Board Members against legitimate complaints.

Currently the Residents of Sun City Anthem employs a lawyer named David T Ochoa who signed a document and submitted it to a Small Claims Court. When he did – he also signed and stated that (Quote) Per NRS 53.045, I declare under penalty of perjury under the law of the State of Nevada that the forgoing is true an correct. (Un-Quote). The document that Attorney David Ochoa referred to made a claim that only TWO Sun City Anthem Board members had been asked to recuse themselves from deliberations on August 26, 2010. THAT WAS A LIE and the attorney David Ochoa knew it was a lie because he had been given a copy of my attorneys statement that revealed the names of THREE SCA Board members who were asked to recuse themselves NOT JUST TWO. Previous Board Member Jack Troia was the third but he defied my lawyers request.

 

——————————————————————-

My question for all members who are running for a position to be a Sun City Anthem Board Member is this;

If you are elected are you going to continue employing the Attorney David T Ochoa who committed perjury when he signed and submitted that statement to The State of Nevada?

What (or Who) is JJD ?

 

JJD is a shortened term For “ JANE OR JOHN DOE” that is used in the following article.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE LAS VEGAS SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND THE HENDERSON SMALL CLAIMS COURT AND WHY THE SCA LAWYERD PREFER THE LATTER ?

If you have ever utilized the services provided at the Las Vegas Small Claims Court you know the process. They are a busy place and the State employs many employees that register and record the complaints and applications for Small Claims Court dates.

 

The Las Vegas Small Claims Court DOES NOT employ an JJD’s because when you submit your Small Claims papers AND YOUR EXHIBITS they are immediately scanned into a file that is presented to the assigned Judge for his consideration. In just a day or two you will receive an Email with the attached file that you can access on your computer. ALL the files AND exhibits that were submitted are made available to you as well as the Judge before the trial date is determined.

You wont know the assigned Judge until later when you are notified via Email, but the Judge has access to all the files and all exhibits filed by the defendants AND BY the plaintiff and he/she examines BOTH before the trial date.

It doesn’t work that way in The Henderson Small Claims Court. There they employ JJD’s to record all the papers and exhibits that you present bring to the Henderson Small Claims Court. The Documents and the Exhibits submitted ARE NOT scanned into a computer when they are received and you will not be able to download those files on your computer later.

In the Henderson Small Claims Court system ALL the documents and ALL the Exhibits that are presented to the assigned Judge is decided by a JJD. In my case the only documents and the only exhibits that were submitted to the Judge for his consideration were the documents submitted by the SCA lawyers. NONE of the documents and exhibits I submitted were turned over to the judge for his consideration before he pronounced his decision.

* JJD withheld my lawyers sworn testimony regarding Jack Troia and his violation of my Civil rights to “Due Process“.

* JJD withheld Rana Goodman’s testimony that proved I did not “POKE” anyone.

* JJD withheld ALL the emails and other exhibits that were presented and discussed in the mandated Mediation Process.

* JJD withheld the published Result of the completed Dispute Resolution that was signed by myself, Sandy Seddon (CAM) and two SCA lawyers.

* JJD withheld The Completion Certificate issued by the State of Nevada declaring that I had complied with all Nevada Statutes and was entitled to a Civil Court Hearing.

* JJD withheld the DATE when a Case was opened AFTER the Completion Certificate was issued.

 

JJD SAW TO IT THAT THE ONLY DOCUMENTS AND EXHIBITS THAT WERE VIEWED AND CONSIDERED BY THE HENDERSON JUDGE WERE THE DOCUMENTS AND EXHIBITS SUBMITTED BY THE SCA LAWYERS.

My advice to anyone who has been victimized by their HOA in Henderson is this. DO NOT RELY ON THE HENDERSON STAFF TO SUBMIT YOUR FILES AND/OR PLEAS TO THE ASSIGNED JUDGE. Instead I would suggest that you send them via certified mail RRR to the “Judge Assigned to Case No (insert Case No.). and don’t loose the post office receipt after delivery.

[Norman McCullough]

Update:  I received an Email from the Association’s Attorney informing me that the Association is willing to agree “not to pursue collection costs that may be anywhere from $300 to $500” in exchange for a release of my claims and an agreement not to appeal the decision reached at the Henderson Small Claims Court.

Once again I had to tell the Association’s attorney that I am not the owner of the property and I am not going to pay for his services since I already pay dues that support his salary and I referred him to Boyce & Gianni who handles the Trust on the property. I also informed the Association’s attorney that I have never agreed to nor have I ever signed any documents that indicate my acceptance of the CC&R’s or any of the Association’s bylaws and Rules ad Regulations. These are documents that are signed when a person buys a home in Sun City Anthem but I have never purchased property here and even if I did I would never sign an agreement that gives any authority over my rights as a citizen of Nevada and of the United States. When I took my wedding vows in 2001 I don’t recall saying “I do” to the Association’s cut throat lawyers either.

Yesterday we found out just how far our new Manager will go in order to protect the illegal behavior of some past SCA Board members. One only needs to analyze what changes have taken place under their new management.

Everything you said about what happened yesterday is true of course, but it leaves a lot of unanswered questions about the process that led up to the disappointing result. The new management and their new staff of lawyers have now completely eliminated the Las Vegas Small Claims Court from handling ANY complaints from the members of Sun City Anthem. Now any member who pays dues to this community no longer has the right to have their case heard by the staff down town in Las Vegas.  Now all members of Sun City Anthem MUST use the Henderson mediation provided in downtown Henderson and if that fails to produce an agreement they MUST also use the Henderson Small Claims Court to seek Justice.

This turn of events has left some unanswered questions that I think can only be answered by our new manager Sandy Seddon so I hope she reads this and responds.

Sandy;

You and two of our lawyers were paid to attend the Mediation that was held in downtown Las Vegas. You knew at the time that it was not conducted or ordered by the Henderson Small Claims Court so why did you (or the two lawyers) not object and tell the Mediator she did not have the right to conduct the session?
You and at least one lawyer were also paid to attend the mandated Mediation held yesterday prior to the Court session. The same issues and expenses were again discussed and the result was the same,  so can you tell me how much of my dues were used to pay that expense?
Have you notified the Trust manager of the property where I live and informed him of these events?
I would appreciate a prompt response if you don’t mind because as you know I have a limited time frame in which to make a decision about appealing.

Thank you Rana for telling it like it is — and for telling the truth. As God as my witness I did not “poke her in the back” as she testified. My lawyer has NEVER been allowed to question her either. Now our new manager and the new attorney’s are willing to spend the Associations time and money to still defend her lie and to defend what John Leach started. I find it hard to believe that an American born citizen can be treated this way.

[Norman McCullough]

Rana;

My last words about this subject.

Allow me to explain. About 19 years ago I lost my wife AND my only daughter. At the time I owned a home in Las Vegas. It was an older house but it was completely paid for.

Someone who cared about me convinced me to go to Grief Counseling and I took their advice. It was there that I met a lady who befriended me and scolded me for ignoring grief counseling and my church. She was also widowed and she lived alone. The ladies name is Mary, and fifteen years ago we decided to get married in 2001.

Mary had a new home here in Anthem, and she had made out a will to leave the home and contents to her family members. I did not want Mary to change her plans, so Mary and I both went to a Trust Lawyer and he drew up a Trust Document that would safeguard her last wishes for her family.

In 2001 I sold my older home and put the money in a bank account to supplement our Social Security. Mary and I both signed a Trust Document that leaves the home in Sun City Anthem to her family members. I have no legal interest in the property now nor did I in 2001 when we married. The official recorded State records list Mary as the “Trustee”

When we married I was never given a set of documents from Sun City Anthem that an owner receives when they buy the property. I never signed and agreement with the SCA Association, nor did they demand that I do so. All mail and magazines etc. come to our home addressed to the Goldman Family Trust (Goldman was Mary’s last name before she became Mrs McCullough). Recently when we received a check from the construction defect lawsuit, Mary was told by the SCA management that only her signature would be accepted.

The Sun City Anthem Board members and their lawyers failed to notify the Trust when they threatened to put a lien on the property, and they also lied and said I was the owner when they forced me to pay money to the Association’s lawyer.

Norman
