Cease & Desist

IMMEDIATE NOTICE

This formal Cease and Desist Notice serves as an official demand that you immediately stop and rectify the following unlawful actions related to my case, which constitute severe procedural violations, due process suppression, and malicious prosecution:

  1. Suppression and Concealment of Exculpatory Evidence

    • You have collectively failed to provide lawfully requested records, including:

      • Jail intake logs, booking records, custody classification, and chain of custody logs.

      • CCTV footage from Santa Barbara County Jail and Santa Barbara PD.

      • Court transcripts, rulings, and case records that have been unlawfully sealed or erased.

      • Any and all relevant documentation regarding the fabricated "resident in jurisdiction" classification.

    • Under Brady v. Maryland (1963), the deliberate suppression of evidence is a violation of due process and prosecutorial misconduct.

  2. Malicious Prosecution and Jurisdictional Fraud

    • My detention and subsequent legal actions were based on fabricated jurisdictional claims that have no legal standing.

    • My British citizenship was acknowledged in the evidence log (passport), yet the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office and DA’s Office falsified records to classify me as a California resident.

    • Under Capron v. Van Noorden (1804), courts lack jurisdiction when it is fraudulently established—rendering all proceedings void ab initio.

  3. Unlawful Client Abandonment and Legal Malpractice (Sanger Law Firm)

    • Sanger Law Firm acted in violation of professional ethics and attorney-client privilege by:

      • Failing to act in my best interests.

      • Withholding legal strategy and suppressing defense motions.

      • Colluding with the prosecution to suppress filings (M2-M6), preventing a fair hearing.

    • Under Hafer v. Melo (1991), legal actors are personally liable when they violate constitutional rights.

  4. Defamation and Public Misrepresentation

    • The Santa Barbara Sheriff’s Office & DA’s Office knowingly published false and defamatory statements, branding me as a terrorism suspect in an official press release.

    • Local media outlets were fed false information that has irreparably damaged my reputation and career.

    • Under Gertz v. Welch (1974), I am entitled to compensatory and punitive damages for defamatory government statements.

IMMEDIATE DEMANDS

You are hereby ordered to cease and desist from the following unlawful actions immediately:

  1. Immediately produce all legally required records that have been suppressed, including:

    • Jail booking and intake records.

    • Court case records, sealed motions, and rulings.

    • All internal correspondence regarding jurisdiction and fabricated residency claims.

  2. Immediately correct the false terrorism allegations and issue a formal retraction of any misleading press releases that falsely associated me with criminal activity.

  3. Immediately cease further procedural suppression—any further efforts to block, seal, or erase legal filings will be considered obstruction of justice under federal law.

  4. Preserve all records—Any attempts to alter, delete, or fabricate records after this notice will be considered evidence tampering under U.S. v. Throckmorton (1878) (“Fraud vitiates everything”).

LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE

Failure to comply with this Cease and Desist Notice will result in:

  • Immediate federal litigation seeking civil damages for suppression, defamation, and jurisdictional fraud.

  • Formal complaints to the California State Bar and judicial ethics commissions against attorneys and court officials involved in procedural suppression.

  • International escalation through the UK Foreign Office for violations of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (VCCR), Article 36.

  • Referral to the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI for investigation into judicial corruption, procedural misconduct, and evidence tampering.

FINAL NOTICE

This notice serves as a final warning before formal legal action is escalated. You are required to respond in writingwith confirmation of compliance by Friday, March 21, 2025.

Failure to comply will result in immediate litigation and full legal exposure of all responsible parties.

Govern yourselves accordingly.

Sincerely,
Stephen Samuel Paradise
