 and
 father-in-law (Ricky
 Ritch)).
2.
 The
 jurisdiction
 of
 this
 Court
 is predicated
 on 28 U.S.C. §§
1331, 1332, 1337,
 and
 1343 and
 18 U.S.C. §§
 1964(a)
 and
1964(c)
 and
 pendant
 jurisdiction
 principles.
 The
 amount
 in controversy
 exceeds
 $75,000.00
 exclusive
 of
 interest
 and
costs. a. In the
 case
 of
 justice, this
 Court
 is appropriate ju
risdiction
 in that
 one of
 the primary
 defendants
 in
this
 case.
 Judge
 Aviva
 Bobb,
 has
 been
 appointed the Chief Justice
 of
 the
 California
 Supreme
 Court
 to
 be on
a
 panel
 created
 by
 the Chief Justice to investigate the
corruption
 in the
 California
 conservatorship
 system.
b.
 However,
 as
 will
 be
 shown
 in
 this
 case.
 Judge
 Bobb
 is
 a
participant
 in the corruption of the
 California
 Conser
vatorship
 system.
 The
 plaintiffs
 believe that the
 po
tential
 cover-up
 of the corruption in the
 California
Court
 system
 regarding conservatorship
 proceedings
 may
go all the
 way up
 to the
 California
 Supreme
 Court. c. Therefore,
 an
 appeal
 within
 the State
 Court
 System
 may
not
 be
 free
 of
 the corruption
 complained
 of in
 this
 ac
tion
 and
 an
 action
 within
 the Federal
 system
 could
 be
the only path to
 justice
 for the
 plaintiffs.
3.
 Venue
 is
 proper
 in
 this
 Court.
 18 U.S.C. §
 1965 and
 28 U.S.C.
§ 1391. All
 defendants
 reside in, can
 be
 found
 in,
 have
agent(s) in
 and/or
 transact
 or
 have
 transacted
 their affairs
in
 this
 District.
