Unless there is some last minute change, it looks like the County of Humboldt's motion to dismiss will be heard this Friday.
I have reached out to Larson's Mr. Rick Richmond and Ms. Caroline G. Glennie-Smith this morning, the two attorneys primarily working on this lawsuit for Ray Christi and will update the post if necessary. Ms. Donna Sotera Zamora-Stevens joined the team for the federal lawsuit.
These are just two posts I did on Mr. Richmond.
Last time, PG & E cancelled safety work at the last minute.
Just got this text. "PG&E will be performing electric safety work near address redacted. We will be in your area using a helicopter to inspect our electric towers, poles and/or equipment. Our work will take place near your property. We expect work to start mid September and continue for about 4 weeks. We respect your privacy and are only taking images of our equipment."
Gregory Alexander Bixler was arrested by HCSO yesterday on a foreign warrant for PC 289(d) forcible sexual penetration with a foreign object of a person incapable of consent, PC 289(d)(1) forcible sexual penetration with a foreign object of a person incapable of consent and PC 287(f) oral copulation on an unconscious victim.
I contacted HCSO Erin Inskip and the warrant was issued from Santa Barbara county.
As I had previously reported, Mr. Paul Nathan who is representing Rocket Dog Rescue told me he had made an error in naming other defendants. Today, he filed an application to amend the First Amended Complaint. Shannon Miranda has not been served, the Case Management Conference is not until 1/25/27.
I don't know if they have filmed yet. HBO reached out to Jenna Moore and Jennifer Raymond first, then contacted Shannon Miranda. He and his husband Jim Oxborrow could not say yes fast enough. While the narcissists are on PR tour, where is justice for the dogs?
Jimbo should talk to his hubby before cussing at me. Typical Humboldt ingrate who forgets the abuse, death threats I received when I was the only one talking to Shannon initially.
All the three principals in this personal narcissist drama and many of their followers and supporters that are nasty, abusive and sit online all day, especially on Facebook attacking others.
For the first time, check network status worked. Unfortunately, taking up to 48 hours is not ok when my work depends on reliable connection. It has been spotty for more than 48 hours where I live and work. You don't wait to get paid, do you?
8:33 still not resolved.
Taylor Patricia Miranda was arrested yesterday by CHP for VC 23152(a) DUI and VC 23152(b) driving with a blood alcohol above the legal limit. These are both misdemeanor charges and she was released on O.R.
The Superior Court of Los Angeles County giving eligible court employees the option to voluntarily under budget strains is yet another example of fat cat California politicians who are anti public safety.
Los Angeles Superior Court issued a press release yesterday.
24 year old Mateo Paul a.k.a. “Infant Bix was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for the murder of a victim shot to death during a marijuana deal.
United States District Judge Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha, who also ordered him to pay $1,842,927 in restitution.
In February 2025, Paul pleaded guilty to one count of interference with commerce by robbery and one count of brandishing and discharging a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence. He has been in custody since November 2023.
U.S. Attorney's Office of Southern California released details yesterday.
Amy's Kitchen is closing its Santa Rosa manufacturing plant and production will move to Medford, Oregon, and Pocatello, Idaho.
The facility will close in phases, with a total of 260 jobs eliminated. Layoffs are scheduled to begin late this year and concludenext summer.
Impacted employees will receive separation packages, job placement assistance and other counseling services.
Amy's closed its San Francisco restaurant in March and the closure off the San Jose factory in September 2022 resulted in the loss of 300 jobs.
Convicted sex offender Nahum Franklin White was arrested by by HCSO Deputy Jonathan Eckert last night for PC 290.012(a) failure to register as a sex offender.
The letter as you can see is unsigned. To the sender of this letter, the clue you gave me as to where this letter may have originated from; that will remain confidential.
Please send me the CRD and EEOC complaint. Email is faster and you are assured confidentiality. The email is under the contact information on the blog and I am sure you have access to it or my cell phone number. Text is also confidential.
I do not know when the letter was mailed this week. The envelope had a received stamp from the post office on 9/16. I got it today.
I do not know if it was sent to any other local media. The envelope was handwritten and addressed to me.
I agree with the letter writer that the County of Human Resources should do an investigation.
To DHHS Director Connie Beck, will you be issuing a formal public apology to DHHS Jewish employees? I will print it as soon as I receive it; even if it tonight or this weekend.
I will be sending an email with this post to Director Beck, HR and two of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors on Monday since I doubt any of you will check or respond on the weekend. I will send it to Fourth District Supervisor Natalie Arroyo and Second District Supervisor Michelle Bushnell.
Let's see what action Director Beck faces compared to what Second District Supervisor Michelle Bushnell did for hurting the feelings of Rex Bohn's bff Tracy D'Amico and Kaleigh Maffei Board Services Specialis for the Humbodt County BOS.
I just want to remind people that some of the local activists and certain local liberal media unfairly singled out Humboldt Senior Deputy DA Roger Rees for excercising his First Amendment during lunch and off the clock. He had every right to do what he did on his own time and he did not use County resources. He is Jewish. He is conservative.
If those very people apply a double and selective standard to Director Beck now or ignore this completely; their actions speak for themselves.
I have personally witnessed hate, vile, antisemitic speech around the Courthouse and the 5th and H post office. The people yelling are white and mostly younger white, liberal males.
I have brought this post to the attention of DOJ, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon and the CA GOP.
Nothing will happen on a federal level or state level because Humboldt County is irrelevant to power in politics and an economically depressed county is not a priority.
The so called Humboldt conservatives with money including business owners, the few conservative politicians, the local Judeo Christian "believers" with money who should be supporting my work can't over their fees fees and fragile egos to support me or my work because they do not give a damn about people or conservatives. Some of them and they know who they are have instead done everything they can to force me to struggle and fight attacks against me while still standing up for the community. Some of those two faced cowards support the very liberal media who silences all dissent by moderates and conservatives.
There was a tip given to me about a year ago about two flags at an office at the Courthouse which I cannot confirm since the media and public do not have access to all areas of the Courthouse. I do not know if those flags are still up so am waiting to hear from my source. If they are, the relevance to this post will be obvious.
I have covered Jorden Sterling aka Jorden Place criminal cases and civil lawsuits. I have covered Jorden since 2019.
In one of the criminal cases, his co-defendant was his mother Melissa Sterling. His significant other is Courtney Zanone. All three are suing the County of Humboldt and HCSO.
Ms. Andrea Sullivan represented Melissa Sterling.
Jorden has diversion in three criminal cases after one of those cases resulted in a 11 guilty to 1 not verdict.
Jorden has one criminal case pending and in the nth motions he has filed; the latest is to disqualify the Humboldt County DA's office and Deputy DA Jessica Watson.
Jorden's lawsuit against Humboldt Superior Court was dismissed.
So was his lawsuit against me for his petition for civil restraining order. He never served me or filed a proof of service. On the day of the hearing, no proof of service was pointed out and then he decided not to pursue the matter. He wasted a month of my time because until the evening before, I did not know if I had to show up in court. I spoke to three different lawyers. I had to prepare. I had to let them know they were not needed at the last minute.
He had one TRO granted in another civil restraining order but others dismissed due to lack of prosecution. If you are interested in those cases, you can look them up on the Humboldt Superior Court online portal or go look at the files. Some of these civil lawsuits involve his ex and people related to them and I have no interest in the family law drama.
Jorden and Courtney still do not have a clue and refuse to take responsibility for the mistakes they have made. I am certainly not going to clue them in on the mistakes I saw in some of the civil lawsuits. The people they are suing have money and resources and the agencies have lawyers being paid by the taxpayers.
Not even knowing or understanding the basic rules of proof of service and Jordo wants to play and pretend he is a lawyer. He serves lawsuits she files; she serves lawsuits he files.
The amount of paper, time, court resources Jordo, Courto and and Melissa are wasting takes away from other cases and victims.
This is just one mistake.
It is one thing to sue people not familiar with the law. You also have to prove your claims in court.
Jorden also needs to make up his mind about arguing jurisdiction. He argues sovereignty and yet keeps filing cases in Humboldt Superior Court.
Jorden has filed so many lawsuits. Courtney and Melissa are not far behind. It is hard to keep up. Jorden's lawsuits include Humboldt County DA, HCSO, County of Humboldt, Pacific Towing and City of Rio Dell.
It is not just the number of the cases. It is the number of motions and several a day and in several cases. When there is a fee waiver, it is not costing Jorden or Courtney or Melissa. It is costing the taxpayers. They have so many cases against so many people but there is a fee waiver in at least one case for each of them.
Those who read me regularly remember what I said about Jorden and that he should be declared a vexatious litigant.
The clerk told me a hearing is scheduled for Mr. Dustin Owen's motion on 10/23. It takes about a week for the civil document to be fully processed in the system so more details from Mr. Owens will be added to this post later.
Today, 9/18/26, Mr. Owens, who represents Pacific Towing filed a motion to declare Jorden Place a vexatious litigant and to require security in the amount of $100,000 as a condition of "maintaining this litigation."
I reached out to Mr. Owens with a question. He told me, "If granted, I am requesting a pre-filing order. So before he files any new cases, or motions, etc., he has to get approval from the presiding judge. "
Thank you Dustin Owens for doing the job the Humboldt DA, HCSO, County of Humboldt and Humboldt Superior Court failed to do in reigning in Jorden Place. Humboldt Superior Court dismissed the case against them. While it was for a valid reason; Humboldt Superior Court took care of themselves and left the rest of us to suffer, deal and waste our hatd earned money with someone weaponizing the court system because he is pissed against anyone and everyone regardless of whether there is any merit to the claims.
Humboldt Superior Court Assistant Operations Manager Scott Anderson seems to find Jorden's filings amusing. I told him maybe Jorden should sue him. Let's see how hilarious he thinks when he experiences what the rest of us do. Just the amount of work piled on the civil clerks by Jorden, Melissa and Courtney who are already inundated is funny to Scott who collects his taxpayer management salary and apparently does not give a damn who else is affected. This is why there is a constant backlog in Humboldt Superior Court.
Every minute wasted on Jorden is less time I have to work, take care of my health and what I need. Every minute wasted by the DA, HCSO takes away from other cases and victims.
The rest of us who still have to deal with Jorden Place, Courtney Zanone and Melissa Sterling do not time to waste. We are maxed dealing with hundreds of Jordens, Courtneys and Melissa.
To fully understand my headline, if you have not read my previous coverage. You should.
I have included all my coverage in this post on Jorden for those who are not regular readers. I am not doing it again.
Like beetlejuice, I mentioned their names too many times. I did not see them at the clerk's office but Jorden and Courtney are back. Saw them at the Eureka post office on 5th and H this afternoon.
9/19/26: Jorden, Courtney, Melissa cannot comment on my page. I do have a screenshot of Jorden leaving several comments on my FB news page after he filed the lawsuit against me which was dismissed. This morning, I noticed this comment by Stephanie. She is blocked after documentation.
This is the kind of nonsense and daily threats the other local "media" does not deal with because they are ineffective for anything other than useless distractions; the good ole Humboldt boys and gals know the other local media won't cover anything inconvenient to them. Several criminal suspects, their hanger ons and criminals with current cases lurk or follow my page and blog because I report on them. They go after me for reporting on their arrests, cases and keeping the community informed.
On the same day, a motion to compel was filed by Jorden Place which is not in e court yet so details are unavailable.
