Re Case No. C1354373
To Mr. J. Shipp, Assistant to the District Attorney:
This letter refers to the peaceable contact order issued at a Romero hearing in the abovereferenced case on April 4th, 2014, at 9 AM in Department 36 of the Superior Court of
California by the Honorable Ronald Toff.
As you may recall, the order was intended to allow me to seek and obtain essential
treatment and care for my terminal medical condition, and, in particular, HIV/AIDS,
from the PACE Clinic, where the complainant in the case was employed. The rationale
for issuing the order at the time was not only based on the arguably benign factual
circumstances of the case (e.g., no injury to the victim, not a serious or violent matter,
etc.), but that the aforementioned clinic was (and is) the sole provider of such treatment
a fact that remains true, even today.
In spite of the expressed consent to the order by the complainant and your office during
the hearing, the PACE Clinic has since denied multiple physician referrals for treatment.
As a consequence, my life-threatening condition has progressed from stable to serious,
having rapidly approached the terminal stage in the year since.
Several remedies have been employed to work around the issue, but to no avail. For
example, as of last week, I successfully switched medical insurance providers in order to
obtain coverage as a patient at the Stanford Positive Care Clinic in Palo Alto; however,
when I attempted to make an appointment, former PACE Clinic physician, Dr. Edward
Brooks, M.D., stated that I was barred from procuring services there, as well, although he
declined to state the reason.
Accordingly, I am requesting that your office investigate the matter to clarify its position
on the issue, and to ascertain the reasoning of the complainant for an obstinacy

tantamount to a death sentence. To argue that time is of the essence is needless, so your
prompt attention to this matter is expected. You may contact me via the information
provided above, or, in the alternative, you may contact, Denise Miller, Staff Attorney, Law
Foundation of Silicon Valley, at 408-280-2466.

Sincerely yours,

James Alan Bush
