counterclaim over 2 years ago when the Department 10 action was filed. Furthermore, over the
past 2 years, Judge Steven P. Elliott and the O'Maras admitted dozens of times that the
Department 6 action was not relative whatsoever with the Department 10 action. District Court
Judge Steven P. Elliott ignored the laws of Nevada and falsified his order staying the
Department 10 action; (2) The Order signed by Judge Steven P. Elliott on December 22,
2011 that the motion by the Petitioners was deemed frivolous. The District Court stated at
hearing that Petitioners' motion was not frivolous three (3) times, but the O'Maras when asked
by Judge Elliott to prepare an order for him to sign O'Mara falsified the Proposed Order stating
the motion was frivolous. Judge Steven P. Elliott signed said falsified order without even
verifying the findings in the order; (3) The Order signed by Judge Steven P. Elliott on
December 22, 2011, which asserted that the Petitioner was evicted. The transcript from a
Justice Court hearing proved that Petitioners were not evicted from the Greenwich house. But
the O'Maras after being asked by Judge Elliott to prepare an order inserted into the Proposed
Order that Petitioners neither appeared at the Justice Court hearing, which they did, and that the
Petitioners were evicted, which the transcript proves Petitioners were not evicted. These facts
center directly on the action before the court as the Crocketts had given Mr. Sunde a contract
for a lifetime leasehold for said Greenwich home. The District Court signed the falsified
proposed order without verfying the findings in the order; (4) The Order signed by Judge
Steven P. Elliott on March 3, 2011 awarding attorneys fees. The O'Maras filed a motion for
attorney fees based on a lease allowing attorney fees to the prevailing party. Since there has
been no trial, no judgment, by law there cannot be a prevailing party. District Court Judge Steve
P. Elliott ignored the law and falsified the order allowing attorney fees.
Every questionable decision by Judge Steven P. Elliott was ruled against Petitioners. The
only explanation can be corruption and collusion between Robert D. Crockett, Victoria A.
Crockett, William M. O'Mara, David C. O'Mara and Judge Steven P. Elliott or a complete
disregard of the rule of law and an abuse of discretion.

Petitioners pray for justice from this Court by overturning the orders entered by Judge
Steven P. Elliott which also will eliminate the need to go to federal court for the protection of
our constitutional rights.
As the above referenced allegations involve criminal conduct by the district Court Judge
and the two attorneys who falsified proposed orders, the six-month limitation is inapplicable to
this case. The Court and attorneys engaged in fraud, in a fraud upon the court, bribery of a
judge, and fabrication of evidence by the attorneys. Savage v. Salzmann, 88 Nev. 193,495 P.2d
367 (1972); Manville v. Manville, 79 Nev. 487, 387 P.2d 661 (1963); Murphy v. Murphy, 103
Nev. 185, 734 P.2d 738 (1987).
Petitioners will file complaints regarding this corrupt conduct by the Court and attorneys
to the Discipline Commission, State Bar of Nevada, and others.

Court goes to the very heart of justice in America. The "rigging" of these decisions involved
the use of wire transfers and the mails and was accomplished through participation in a corrupt
fraudulent scheme by the Crocketts, O'Maras and District Court. Petitioners believe and
therefore allege Federal crimes have been committed by the Crocketts, O'Maras and District
Court and this corruption could date 10 years or more and could involve additional, unknown
attorneys. Furthermore, the issues presented herein need to be addressed because the District
Court's decisions and orders contradict the plain language of the relevant statutes, disregards
decisions of this Court that are directly on point, and are inconsistent with decisions of other
district courts, and, because corruption was involved in the rendering of these decisions by the
District Court.
Citing Walser v. Moran, 42 Nev. 111, 173 P.1149 (1918) this Court stated, "In the case
of State ex rel. Marshall et al. v. District Court, 50 Mont. 289, 146 Pac.743, Ann.Cas. 1917C,
164, the Supreme Court of Montana, in considering the question, took occasion to remark that:
"A remedy is speedy when having in mind the subject-matter involved, it can be pursued
with expedition and without essential detriment to the party aggrieved, and it is neither
speedy nor adequate if its slowness is likely to produce immediate injury or mischief."
In Walser this Court cited the case of Bell, Davidson et al. v. First Judicial District Court, 28
Nev. 280, 81 Pac. 875, 1 L.R.A. (N.S.) 843, 113 Am. St. Rep. 854, 6 Ann. Cas. 982, and this
Court said:
"The object of the writ is to restrain inferior courts from acting without authority of law
in cases where wrong, damage, and injustice are likely to follow from such action. ***
The writ should not be granted, except in cases of usurpation or abuse of power, and not
then, unless the other remedies provided by law are inadequate to afford full relief. ***
If the entire proceedings are without authority of law, * * * certainly the remedy to be
obtained by the slow process of appeal, which could only follow a vain, fruitless, and
perhaps expensive trial, could not be considered an adequate remedy."
Petitioners in the case at bar have no remedy, not even appeal. The District Court has stayed
the action pending consolidation with another non-existent district court case, a case on appeal.
Petitioners not only do not have a speedy and adequate remedy, they have no remedy.
Accordingly, the District Court "rigging" of decisions and corruption by opposing parties
and their attorneys is flatly inconsistent with the law, morals and ethics of the District Court and
the attorneys. A definitive ruling by this Court on these issues would therefore serve public
Page 6 of 28

policy by putting an end to this corruption with certainty regarding the rights and Constitutional
rights and remedies of Petitioners and dozens or even hundreds of other litigants who have had
their rights stolen by the District Court and attorneys working in collusion.
II. INTRODUCTION
All disputed or questionable decisions of the District Court favored real parties in interest,
the Crocketts, and their attorneys, the O'Maras. None favored Petitioners. Such collusion and
corruption can only be explained by an unknown quid pro quo between the Crocketts, O'Maras
and District Court. It is natural for petitioners to assume the quid pro quo was money.
III. STATEMENT OF FACTS
A. FIRST ALLEGED CORRUPT ORDER BY JUDGE STEVEN P. ELLIOTT
Real parties in interest Robert and Victoria A. Crockett filed a motion to stay the District
Court, Department 10 action. Appendix V, Bates Stamp No. 0903-0907. The basis for the stay
was to consolidate the Department 10 action with the Department 6 action. However, the
Department 6 action is on appeal before the District Court, Case No. 57574, there is no
commonality between the two (2) actions, and the Department 6 claims occurred 2 years after
the Department 10 claims. Petitioners filed opposition to the motion to stay, Appendix V, Bates
Stamp No. 0911-0973, and real parties in interest have filed a reply. Appendix V, Bates Stamp
No. 0974-979. Department 10 issued its Order Staying the Action on December 13, 2012. 1
The Crocketts and O'Maras have lied repeatedly in arguing that, "..and many of the factual
and legal issues are the same."' Worst of all, is that O'Mara asked the District Court to join this
action with the Department 6 action, but, there is no Department 6 action, and there may never
be a Department 6 action. Or if there is any future Department 6 action, it could be years away.'
a. Crocketts, O'Maras & District Court Have Repeatedly Admitted The Department 10
action Is Not Related to Department 6 Action
During each hearing in the District Court case, the Crocketts, O'Maras and the District Court
argued and ordered that this case is distinctly different that the Department 6 action and nothing in the

realm of this hearing, and it's already been decided in against and in our favor by Department six."
"COURT: I would have to sustain the objection to that matter because in the realm of another court at
this point."
During no hearing nor order of the District Court has any issue of the Department 6 case been
ruled relevant to the District Court, Department 10, action.
Furthermore, the complaint in the District Court action discloses that, that action is between
individuals related only to the house on Greenwich Way. 6
However, the Department 6 action, has no claims related to the house, and is related to a Nevada
Trust and Nevada Corporation.' The causes of action in Department 6 include: breach of fiduciary duty
by Trustee Victoria Crockett; replacement of trustee and contingent trustees; elder abuse for theft of
sole trust beneficiary Sunde's dividends required for his and his family's support and maintenance by
Robert & Victoria Crockett; breach of contract related to the trust agreement by Trustee Victoria
Crockett; personal injury resulting from the loss of Sunde's dividends from the trust; embezzlement
of trust dividends by Trustee Victoria Crockett and Robert Crockett; and, negligence in the
management of the Nevada trust. Id.
Consolidation of similar or even identical cases is governed by NRCP 42, which states:
RULE 42. CONSOLIDATION; SEPARATE TRIALS
(a) Consolidation. When actions involving a common question of law or fact are
pending before the court, it may order a joint hearing or trial of any or all the matters in
issue in the actions; it may order all the actions consolidated; and it may make such
orders concerning proceedings therein as may tend to avoid unnecessary costs or delay.
(b) Separate Trials. The court, in furtherance of convenience or to avoid prejudice, or
when separate trials will be conducive to expedition and economy, may order a separate
trial of any claim, cross-claim, counterclaim, or third-party claim, or of any separate
issue or of any number of claims, cross-claims, counterclaims, third-party claims, or
issues, always preserving inviolate the right of trial by jury.
Rule 42 is clear that consolidating the Department 10 action with the Department 6 action
"sometime in the distant future", if at all, does not meet the language of or the intent of Rule 42.
The most important purpose of Rule 42 is to avoid unnecessary costs and delay. The
Department 10 action has been set for trial and a Scheduling Order has been issued.' The

Dispositive Motions for March 29,2013; and, submission ofDispositive and all Other Motions
for April 26, 2013.
NRCP 42(a) requires actions to be pending before a district court. The Department 6
action is not pending before a district court. It has been closed at the district court level while
an appeal is pending.
Furthermore, as argued herein, there is no common question of law, damages, fact,
transactions or parties in these two actions. These cases may not be consolidated. Two actions
may not be consolidated unless they arise out of the same transaction and the transactions are
connected to the same subject. Wells, Inc.v. Shoemake et al.,
64 Nev 57, 177 P.2d 451 (1947)
["...property damages arising out of motor vehicle collision were properly joined"; "Plaintiff
may unite several causes of action in the same complaint, when they all arise out of...8. Claims
arising out of the same transaction, or transactions connected with the same subject of
action..."]; Marcuse v. Del Webb Communities, 123 Nev. 278, 163 P.3d 462 (2007) ["... trial
court did not abuse its discretion in denying unnamed class members' motions to consolidate
their claim and for separate trials"; "(1) contrary to the requirements of NRCP 42(a), the
Marcuses had failed to demonstrate any pending action involving a common question of law
or fact, and (2) there were no common questions of law or fact between the Marcuses' claims
and the class's claims, since the class action sought recovery for future damages, not resultant
damages"]. While the courts enjoy broad discretion, the courts do not enjoy unfettered
discretion in ordering consolidation. Id. See also, Havas v. "Alger, 85 Nev. 627,461 P.2d 857
(1969); Mikulich et al. v. Carner, 68 Nev. 161, 228 F'.2d 257 [(1951) ["Where two causes of
action against same defendants arising out of same accident were tried jointly, extent of
damages and recovery were entirely independent issues in each action, even if other issues of
law and fact were identical"]; California State Auto. Ass 'n. v. Eighth Judicial Dist. Court ex
rel. County of Clark, 106 Nev. 197, 788 P.2d 1367 (1990);

25
I Nev. 551, 706 P .2d 147 (1985) [where the issues of liability and damages were inextricably
2 intertwined bifurcation is inappropriate].
3 In the District Court case, there is no similar issues of liability, no similar damages,
4 common questions of law, nor common questions of fact, commonality of "time", "pending
before a District Court." Consolidation, even if warranted, is not available in this action as there
6 is no other case which can be consolidated with this action. NRCP 42(a).
7 b. No District Court Action May be Stayed For Consolidation Pending An Appeal
8 In the District Court action, Department 10, there is no commonality of facts, damages,
9 law, transactions, parties, or the same transaction, and no commonality of "time" with the
Department 6 action. The claims in the Department 6 action occurred in 2008-2010 and the
11 complaint9 was filed in April 2010, a judgment was rendered in December 2010, and that action
12 was appealed on January 10, 2011. The claims in the Department 10 action occurred in 2011
13 and 2012, and the complaint was filed on January 28, 2011. 10
14 Even in similar cases of common facts, law, transactions, and parties, staying a lower
court action while waiting for an appeal to be decided is contrary to law. Landis v. North
16 American Co., 299 U.S. 248,249 (1936) ["If a second stay is necessary during the course of an
17 appeal, the petitioners must bear the burden, when that stage shall have arrived, of making
18 obvious the need. Enough for present purposes that they have not done so yet. (299 U.S. 248,
19 258) From the stay in its operation during the course of an appeal, we pass to the stay in its
operation while the test suit is undetermined. That aspect of the order is subject to separate
21 consideration and calls for separate treatment. ...We do not find it necessary to determine a stay
22 to continue until the decision by the District Court, and then ending automatically, would be
23 moderate or excessive if viewed as of the time when the order differently conditioned was
24 placed upon the files"]. Landis cited in: Maheu v. Eighth Judicial District Court, 89 Nev. 214,
510 P.2d 627 (1973); Tonnemacher v. Touche Ross & Co., 186 Ariz. 125, 920 P.2d 5 (1996)
26 [this claim arose out of the same facts as the claim in the federal action, stay denied].

c. No compulsory Counterclaim Was Filed by Plaintiffs
The Crocketts and O'Maras attempted to join the Department 6 and 10 actions even though
there was commonality of facts, law, damages, parties, time, or transactions. If commonality
existed when plaintiffs filed the Department 10 action in 2011, a mandatory counterclaim was
required to be filed in the Department 10 action, including the claims now in the Department
6 action. No counterclaim was filed in the Department 10 action claiming the alleged damages
as contained in the Department 6 action. Commonality is impossible as the alleged damages
in Department 6 occurred in 2008-2010, even before the Department 6 action was filed in 2011.
Executive Management v. Ticor Title Ins. Co., 114 Nev. 823, 963 P.2d 465 (1998)
["Compulsory Counterclaim. A pleading shall state as a counterclaim any claim which at the
time of serving the pleading the pleader has against any opposing party, if it arises out of the
transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the opposing party's claim"]. Id.
Having failed to file the required compulsory counterclaim, the Department 6 and 10
actions may not now be joined.
d. Crocketts & Adams Cited Cases do Not Support Stay
All four (4) cases cited by the Crocketts and Adams are distinguishable from the District Court
action. In the cited case of Tonnemacher, the dispute centered on an abatement claim for a case in state
court and another case in federal court. The lower court did not enter any stay because the defendant
did not move to seek a stay, and the superior court made no ruling on a stay. Tonnemacher v. Touche
Ross & Company, 186 Ariz. 126, 920 P.2d 5 (1996). In the cited case of Landis the court pointed out
that "the facts have now been settled by stipulation" and also a decision was expected within a
reasonable time. The court of appeals was reversed, and the order of the district court was vacated, and
the case was remanded to determine the motion for a stay, which was not yet entered. Landis v. North
American Co., 299 U.S. 248, 254-55 (1936). In the cited case of Mikulich the court stated: "Where two
causes of action against same defendants arising out of same accident were tried jointly, extent of
damages and recovery were entirely independent issues in each action, even if issues of law and fact
were identical." Even in Miku/ich, with identical parties, identical facts, two (2) different verdicts were
rendered: "Not only were there two separate verdicts, but two separate judgments." Id. No stay was
Page 12 of 28
ordered in Mikulich, contrary to the claims of the Crocketts and O'Maras. Mikulich v. Corner, 68 Nev.
161, 228 P.2d 257 (1951). In the cited case of Maheu the court pointed out that the appeal was based
solely, "with the court's calendaring of the pending motions." Id. at 217. Maheu v. Eighth Judicial
District Court, 89 Nev. 214, 510 P.2d 627 (1973).
All of the Crocketts' and O'Maras' cited cases are distinguished from the District Court case and
do not support a stay in the District Court action.
e.
Crocketts&O'MarasFailedtoIdentifyanyCommonLiability,Damages,Questionof
Law,QuestionofFactorTime
While the Crocketts and O'Maras argued four cases supported their motion to stay, above cited,
they failed to correlate any cited case with the District Court action. More important, the Crocketts and
O'Maras listed no common liability, common parties, common damages, common question of law,
commonality of "time", nor common question of fact. Lacking any such analogy this case is
distinguishable from those four (4) cases cited by the Crocketts and O'Maras.
f.
PetitionerFiledMotionforReconsideration&MotionforRelief
Petitioners filed a Motion For Reconsideration of the stay order 11 ; Plaintiffs filed an opposition

;
Petitioners filed a reply to Plaintiffs' opposition'. Petitioners also filed a Motion for Relief From
Order"; Plaintiffs filed an Opposition to Motion For Relief From Order ls ; and Petitioners filed a Reply
to Opposition to Motion For Relief From Order.'
To date the District Court has ignored those filings.
g. DistrictCourt'sStayWasaCoverup
The stay issued by the District Court was a coverup of the corruption already engaged in by
Judge Steven Elliott. Petitioners have attempted to obtain discovery from Plaintiffs since February 21,
2012. 1 ' Following several Recommendations For Order by the discovery Commissioner and three (3)

B. SECOND ALLEGED CORRUPT ORDER BY JUDGE STEVEN P. ELLIOTT
Falsified Order Regarding False Allegations of Frivolous at Hearing
At a Hearing on November 8, 2011, on Petitioners retitled EX PARTE MOTION FOR
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION'', the District
Court stated three (3) times that Petitioners' motion was not frivolous. The District Court
stated:
1) "...and I don't know that the motions up to this point in time are frivolous... "; 2) "I'm
not going to hold that, you know, this desire to file an injunctive relief trying to stop the
sale of the property is frivolous... "; and, 3) "So anyway, I wouldn't say that this is
frivolous, but it's just not something that can be granted." 19
The Crocketts and O'Maras stated in the Proposed Order: "That the motion filed for a
protective order was frivolous..." 20 This statement was dishonest and was a fraud upon the
court. The District Court signed the falsified Proposed Order and included the statement: "7.
That the motion filed for a protective order was frivolous..." 21
The Crocketts' and O'Maras' claim to the District Court that Petitioners' motion was
frivolous was an outright lie, and was done for a reason, to assist the O'Maras in obtaining an
order for attorney fees based on a frivolous pleading argument, pursuant to, without limitation,
NRS 7.085.
The Crocketts, O'Maras and the District Court colluded to falsify the December 22,2011,
Order After Hearing, which brings embarrassment and ridicule to the judicial system in Nevada.
While engaging in this conspiracy to defraud by way of wire transfers and use of the U.S. mails
to complete their fraudulent scheme, Petitioners are informed and therefore allege that federal
crimes have been committed.

The Crocketts and O'Maras falsely claimed that Petitioners were evicted from the
Greenwich home by the Justice Court. However, Victoria A. Crockett, O'Maras' own client
testified in the District Court action that Petitioners were not evicted. 22 And the Justice Court
stated that defendants were not evicted.' One of the main issues of the action at bar is that the
Crocketts had contracted with Mr. Sunde for a lifetime leasehold for the Greenwich home. The
Crocketts admitted this lifetime leasehold during the Hearing of September 20, 2011. 2' But the
Crocketts and O'Maras persisted in repeatedly falsifying this claim of eviction, for the purpose
of showing Petitioners no longer had a viable claim of breach of contract for lifetime leasehold
for the Greenwich home, to vitiate Petitioners breach of contract damages for the termination
of Petitioners' contracted lifetime estate in the Greenwich home.
In the Proposed Order' the Crocketts and O'Maras lied and falsely alleged:
"7. That after being served with a notice of eviction, Mr. and Mrs. Sunde did not contest
the notice of eviction in the Reno Justice Court that has exclusive jurisdiction of landlord
and tenant issues and the Reno Justice Court ordered the eviction of Mr. and Mrs.
Sunde."26
In truth, Petitioners did in fact contest the eviction and O'Maras' own client, Victoria A.
Crockett, even removed the eviction request at the Justice Court Hearing. Victoria A. Crockett
testified that the eviction request was removed":
"We are not obviously now attempting to evict because payment has been made.
They called the hearing. What we asking for is to have them pay us directly
instead of the mortgage so we can follow payment."
The Justice Court ruled that this was not an eviction action as falsely claimed by the O'Maras 28 :
"Well, after reviewing the Lease Agreement and hearing testimony, Mr. And Mrs.
Sunde, I'm going to find in favor of the Crocketts for the limited purpose of the
amount of the rent and where it should be paid." [Emphasis added].

But in apparent moments of confusion Victoria Crockett also admitted: "I filed an eviction
notice in December... and we also filed a no-fault end of lease letting him know that we would
not continue the lease after February 28th, 2011. 36 Nevertheless, the Crocketts attempted to
argue voluntary leaving by Petitioners to vitiate their damages for the termination of Petitioners'
contracted lifetime leasehold in the Greenwich home.
As far back as the hearing of February 4, 2011, the Crocketts and O'Maras have
misrepresented the truth and lied in this action. At that Hearing the Crocketts and O'Maras
stated: "It wasn't a life estate for life, and he was never promised to be able to stay there."
37
O'Maras' own clients testified that Petitioners were given a lifetime lease, but their own
attorney argued the opposite.
Therefore, the Crocketts and O'Maras lied in claiming: 1) defendants did not contest the
notice of eviction; and, 2) the Reno Justice Court ordered the eviction of Mr. and Mrs. Sunde.
The Sundes contested the eviction, Exhibit 4, and no eviction was ordered as falsely alleged by
the Crocketts and O'Maras.
The District Court's signing of the corrupt Proposed Order signifies the Order was
obtained through corruption and collusion between Robert D. Crockett, Victoria A. Crockett,
Attorneys William 0"Mara, David O'Mara and District Court Judge Steven P. Elliott.

D. FOURTH ALLEGED CORRUPT ORDER BY JUDGE STEVEN P. ELLIOTT
In clear violation of law, the District Court has repeatedly ordered attorney fees be paid by
Petitioners. The District Court on March 3, 2011, again in a clear sign of corruption and collusion,
ordered attorney fees for a motion under which attorney fees were based on a lease agreement between
Petitioners and the Crocketts. The lease allowed attorney fees "to the prevailing party." 38
Following a hearing, the Crocketts and O'Maras filed Plaintiffs' Motion For Attorney Fees?' The
motion sought attorney fees and costs in the amount of $4,047.50. Id. Said motion only cited NRCP
54(d) and a single case referencing their "reasonable" argument. Id.
However, NRCP 54(d) is only applicable to judgments. And there still is no judgment in the
District Court action. Rule 54(d) states:
(d) Attorney Fees.
(1) Reserved.
(2) Attorney Fees.
(A) Claim to Be by Motion. A claim for attorney fees must be made by motion.
The district court may decide the motion despite the existence of a pending appeal
from the underlying final judgment.[Added; effective May 1, 20091
(B) Timing and Contents of the Motion. Unless a statute provides otherwise , .
the motion must be filed no later than 20 days after notice of entry of judgment is
served; specify the judgment and the statute, rule, or other grounds entitling the
movant to the award; state the amount sought or provide a fair estimate of it; and
be supported by counsels affidavit swearing that the fees were actually and
necessarily incurred and were reasonable, documentation concerning the amount
of fees claimed, and points and authorities addressing appropriate factors to be
considered by the court in deciding the motion. The time for filing the motion may
not be extended by the court after it has expired. [Added; effective May 1, 2009.]

39 Appendix I, Bates Stamp No. 0001-0019, Plaintiffs' Motion For Attorney Fees

(C) Exceptions. Subparagraphs (A)-(B) do not apply to claims for fees and
expenses as sanctions pursuant to a rule or statute, or when the applicable
substantive law requires attorney fees to be proved at trial as an dement of
damages.
Rule 54 requires there to be an "underlying final judgment", which the District Court case is
lacking. The very definition of judgment, "includes a decree and any order from which an
appeal lies." As the District Court's order is not a final order it is not appealable. Therefore,
the District Court's Order is not a judgment. Furthermore, "this court has consistently held that
a party cannot be a 'prevailing party' where the action has not proceeded to judgment." Dimick
v. Dimick, 112 Nev. 402,915 P.2d 254 (1996) citing, Works v. Kuhn, {112 Nev.405} 103 Nev.
65, 68, 732 P.2d 1373, 1375-76 (1987).
Petitioners filed an opposition to the motion for attorney fees.' The Crocketts and
O'Maras filed a reply.' The District Court entered its Order Granting Motion For Attorney Fees
on March 3, 2011. 42 In that Order, District Court Judge Steven P. Elliott stated: "...nonetheless,
not a single argument advanced by Defendants warrants the denial of Plaintiffs' Motion. To
begin with, Defendants argue that NRCP 65 does not provide for an award of attorneys' fees;
however, as the District Court noted above, the District Court based the award of attorney' fees
on the terms of the lease agreement, not NRCP 65.... Finally, as it relates to NRCP 54, the rule
merely governs the procedure for obtaining a judgment and an award of attorneys' fees.
Nowhere in the rule does it require that a judgment be obtained before seeking an award of
attorneys' fees as Defendants apparently contend." Id.
Petitioner reminded the District Court that our recent pleading was denied because we
failed to cite an applicable rule or statute. But District Court Judge Steven P. Elliott exhibited
outright bias, prejudice, collusion and corruption against Petitioners by approving this improper
motion for attorney fees. Id.
District Court Judge Steven P. Elliott has exhibited unbelievable collusion and corruption
and has engaged in a criminal conspiracy with Robert D. Crockett, Victoria A. Crockett,

attorneys William M. O'Mara and David C. O'Mara. Disbarment of all three (3) attorneys is
more than appropriate as this conspiracy may have been in place for as long as 10 years. .
E. DAVID & WILLIAM O'MARA HAVE VIOLATED NEVADA RULES OF
PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
Defendants allege that David & William O'Mara have violated Rule 8.4, Misconduct of
the Nevada Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 8.4 states as follows:
It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to:
(a) Violate or attempt to violate the Rules of Professional Conduct, knowingly assist or
induce another to do so, or do so through the acts of another;
(b) Commit a criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyers' honesty, trustworthiness
or f fitness as a lawyer in other respects;
c) Engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation;
d) Engage in conduct that is prejudicial to the administration of justice;
e) State or imply an ability to influence improperly a government agency or official or
to achieve results y means that violate the Rules of Professional Conduct or other law;
or knowingly assist a judge or judicial officer in conduct that is a violation of applicable
rules of judicial conduct or other law.
By their actions in falsifying the proposed order of December22, 2011, followed by
actions of collusion with the District Court, the O'Maras have violated sections (a) - (f) of the
Rules of professional Conduct. Defendants believe and therefore allege that the O'Maras
misconduct alleged and proven herein are disbarable offenses.
Whenever allegation is made that an attorney has violated his moral and ethical
responsibility, an important question of professional ethics is raised; it is the duty of this Court
to examine the charge, since it is this Court which is authorized to supervise the conduct of
members of its bar. Erickson v. Newman Corp., 7 F.3d 298 (1996).
The scope of this Court's inquiry in determining what is appropriate Rule 11 sanction, is
what will deter attorneys and/or their client from future misconduct, and what will deter other
attorneys and clients from adopting a similar course of conduct. In re Martinez, 393 B.R. 27
(208).
This Court, as well as state bar, have responsibility under Nevada law to maintain public
confidence in the legal profession; this means that this Court may disqualify an attorney for not
only acting improperly but also for failing to avoid appearance of impropriety. Erickson v.
Newman Corp., 87 F .3d 298 (1996). Lack of candor toward tribunal, knowing disobedience of

obligation under rules of a tribunal, filing frivolous and dishonest claims, engaging in
misconduct involving dishonesty, deceit, fraud, or misrepresentation warrants disbarment. In
re Discipline of Schaefer, 117 Nev. 496, 25 P.3d 191, modified on denial of rehearing 31 P.3d
365, certiorari denied 122 S.Ct. 1072, 534 U.S. 1131, 151 L. Ed . 2d 974 .
The seriousness of the O'Maras falsifying proposed orders and colluding with the District
Court system that resulted in the signing by this Court of that falsified, rigged orders are
offenses demanding the disbarment of William and David O'Mara. Defendants request this
Court refer this conduct to the Nevada Attorney General, Supreme Court of Nevada and Nevada
Bar Association so as to determine and verify the misconduct and possible criminal conduct of
the O'Maras and Judge Elliott.
a. O'Mara Has Gouged His Clients By Running Their Bills
O'Mara has run his clients bills in this action to over $100,000. And O'Mara gouged and stole
from his clients by first filing many contradictory pleadings, so as to fraudulently bill his clients prior
to filing of the motion to stay. O'Mara filed 119 document requests, a motion for summary judgment,
a motion to waive attorney client privilege and, finally, the motion to stay. Such dishonesty by O'Mara
must not be laid at our doorstep by the rendering of any adverse order against Defendants by the District
Court.
The entire purpose of the motion to stay, is to once again obfuscate Defendants' discovery efforts
and to sidestep four (4) Orders of the District Court to produce documents requested by Defendants.
Over 400 days into the discovery process and Plaintiffs have yet to fulfill their requirements as ordered
by the District Court.
O'Mara has run up his billings to his clients, a very substantial bill remains unpaid, and O'Mara
seeks to stall this case to allow his clients to continue their monthly payments of his billings. Unpaid
client billings does not justify stalling this case for 473 days or what is now sought, 600 or more days.
b. O'Mara Has Already Stalled Discovery in this Case Nearly 500 Days and Now Seeks
the Assistance of the District Court to Stall discovery Another 500 Days in Violation of
Defendants' Constitutional Rights to Equal Justice Under Law and Due Process

O'Mara also claims that "This is the first extension requested, and in made in good faith and not
for purposes of delay." In this false claim alone, O'Mara lied 2 times. He lied in claiming the motion
was filed in good faith. O'Mara lied in claiming the referenced motion in not for the purpose of delay.
It has been proven beyond question that most everything O'Mara has done in this case is for the purpose
of delay, and O'Mara virtually never acts in good faith. The proof, the actions of O'Mara, the pleadings
speak for themselves. The District Court is fully aware of O'Mara's dishonesty and failure to act in good
faith, but as yet has refused to comply with the law and sanction O'Mara.
O'Mara claimed in the District Court on numerous occasions that the department 6 action was not
relevant to this action. In fact, the District Court also stated the department 6 action is not relative to
this action.
O'Mara claimed, "The Courts and the parties should not have to litigate what is essentially one
case in two different courts if Mr. Sunde's relief is granted by the Nevada Supreme Court." But O'Mara
is the one that filed this as a separate action, by said filing he claimed this action was a distinctly
different case, with different proof, different facts in support of their allegations and defenses to
defendants' counterclaim. But now he claims it is the same case.
So, was O'Mara lying then or is he lying now? Rule 11 sanctions must be ordered against the
O'Maras.
O'Mara is stalling this action solely for the purposes of extending the time to complete this action
to allow plaintiffs to pay their seriously delinquent billings to O'Mara, to deny justice to defendants and
to obfuscate his discovery obligations under law.
O'Mara has turned this case into a circus with his lies. Defendants have recently filed a copy of
our reply brief in the appeal of the Department 6 action, proving O'Mara lied to the Nevada Supreme
Court 20 or 30 times. An attorney who lies to the District Court and the Nevada Supreme Court as
often as O'Mara, has an obvious deficiency in his mental acuity. We therefore, request the District
Court order a mental examination of David O'Mara and submit a request to the Nevada Supreme Court

NRCP Rule 11 mandates that pleadings and motions must contain allegations and factual
contentions which "have evidentiary support, "and claims and legal arguments must be
"warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument." NRCP Rule 11(b)(2)(3). The
O'Maras and Judge Elliott have defrauded the entire legal system by the filing and signing of
pleadings, papers, they have certified as being factual, accurate and truthful. Rule 11(b) and,
"it is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass or to cause unnecessary
delay or needless increase in the cost of litigation. "Rule 11(b)(1). And pursuant to Rule 11(c)
defendants' requested sanctions, costs and attorney fees must be awarded against the attorneys
and law firm. Naimo v. Fleming, 95 Nev. 13, 588 P.2d 1025 (1979);
Morrow v. Beach City
LLC, 991 P.2d 982 (2000); Bergman v. Boyce, 109 Nev. 670, 856 P.2d 560 (1993).
The plain language of NRS 7.085 specifically requires the issuance of sanctions and
attorney fees in this action due to the abuses of the litigation process in this action, dishonesty
and collusion engaged by the O'Maras and Judge Elliott. NRS 7.085 independently from Rule
11 requires this Court to issues sanctions, costs and attorney fees against plaintiffs' and their
attorneys, the O'Maras and Judge Elliott.
The O'Maras, Plaintiffs and Judge Elliott certainly cannot argue that their misconduct and
collusion were well-grounded in fact or law, when in fact their conduct was a fraud upon the
entire court system. This Court must order sanctions, attorney fees, and costs against the
O'Maras, plaintiffs and Judge Elliott.
CONCLUSION
For all the reasons stated above, this Court should grant the Petition and issue a writ of
mandamus or prohibition. Even though the Petitioners have extremely limited legal expertise
or experience, They have made every effort to follow the rules of this Court. The criminal
conduct proven herein cries out for justice, not picking apart every rule to find an excuse for
denying the enclosed application for writ protection. Petitioners demand justice,
Petitioners request the following:
1. Overturn the District Court Order dated February 14,2013 in which the Court denied
Petitioners' Motion For Reconsideration and motion to set aside the order.

1 and that the deed has already been recorded. This is a
2 done deal and there's a new owner there, you know.
3
MR. O'MARA: Your Honor, proof of that
4 document is in our pleadings, so if the Court wishes to
5 look at Exhibit 1 to our answer to this, it's already in
6 there.
THE COURT: Well, it would appear that if
that is true, that the issue is moot, that the sale has
already taken place. Primarily, I would say that the
10 injunctive relief is not appropriate property for the
11 reasons I've just gone over.
12 Now, with regard to future motions,
13 understand the issue that the Crocketts don't
want to
14 have additional legal expenses while the issue of their
15 motion to strike and dismiss are pending.
And, you know,
16 I understand your desire to, you know, hold down legal
17 expenses.
18 What Mr. Sunde is claiming is that there's a
19 16.1 violation, that somehow the 16.is due, and that
20
you're in violation of that. And I haven't considered
21 that issue. I suppose I don't know that somebody can,
22 you know, not be able to present that issue. So I'm not
any more
23 going to grant your request that you're not file
24
motions. There may be something valid and appropriate to

22 RECOMMENDATIONFORORDER
23 The background of this case is set forth in greater detail in previous decisions from this
I
24 Court. On May 4, 2012,Defendants filed and served a Motion to Compel Discovery, Motion for
25 Sanctions. ThatmotionwasfirstsubmittedfordecisiononMay18,2012However,onMay 21,
26 III
2012,Plaintiffsfiledtheir Opposition to Defendants' Motion to Compel Discovery.' OnMay29,
2012,Defendantsfiledtheir
Reply to Opposition to Defendants' Motion to Compel Discovery, and
themotionwassubmittedfordecisiononthatsamedate.
TherecordreflectsthatonFebruary21,2012,DefendantsservedPlaintiffswithDefendants'

disfavor an approach to discovery that allows a party to assert and obtain rulings on objections in a
piecemeal fashion. See Robinson v. Cit of Arkansas Ci , No. 10-1431-JAR-GLR, 2012 WL
603576, at '11 (D. Kan. Feb. 24, 2012) (fijn general the federal rules do not contemplate piecemeal
objections to discovery requests"); Hall v. Sullivan, 231 F.R.D. 468, 473 (D. Md. 2005) (Inlo benefit
s achieved by allowing piecemeal objections to producing requested discovery, as this adds
unnecessary expense to the parties and unjustified burden on the court").
Plaintiffs argue that Defendants failed to make a reasonable effort to meet and confer with
heir counsel prior to filing this motion. The purpose of rules requiring prefiling consultation (or an
attempt at consultation) is to lessen the burden on the Court and reduce the unnecessary
expenditure of resources by litigants, through the promotion of informal. extrajudicial resolution of
discovery disputes. See Nevada Power Co. v. Monsanto Co., 151 F.R.D. 118, 120 (D. Nev. 1993);
Crown Cork & Seal Co. v Chemed Corp s , 101 F.R.D. 105, 106 (E.D. Pa. 1984). Thus, compliance
with these provisions requires the attorney filing a discovery motion to first make reasonable efforts
14 r to resolve the dispute without the need for formal court intervention. See Dondi Props. Corp. v,
15 Commerce Say. & Loan Ass'n, 121 F.R.D. 284, 289 (N.D. Tex. 1988) (mtitle purpose of the
16 conference requirement is to promote a frank exchange between counsel to resolve issues by
7 agreement or to at least narrow and focus the matters in controversy before judicial resolution is
sought"), citgd with approval in Nevada Power, 151 F.R.D. at 120. The parties must present to each
19 i other the merits of their respective positions with the same candor, specificity, and support as during
20 the briefing of discovery motions. See Wilson v. Aargon Agency. Inc., 262 F.R.D. 561, 564 (D. Nev.
21 2010); Nevada Power, 151 F.R.D. at 120. Judicial intervention should be considered appropriate
22 only when (1) informal negotiations have reached an impasse on the substantive issues in dispute,
23 or (2) one party refuses to engage in negotiations altogether or refuses to provide specific support.
24 See Nevada Power, 151 F.R.D. at 120.
25 ,The Court agrees that the letters sent by Defendant J. Michael Sunde do not reflect a desire
26 to discuss the request for production with Plaintiffs' counsel, and do not otherwise satisfy the
4

requirementsofagood-faithattemptatconsultation.However,therecordalsodoesnotevinceany

23
To the extent that Defendants might also be asking Plaintiffs to produce documents that support these

o purchase it. The Court is not persuaded that Defendants are entitled to discovery of every
conceivable document that might have
been generated in connection with such an "attempted
transfer." Whether specific documents are discoverable in that regard is not clear, but the burden
ests with Defendants to make such a request with reasonable particularity. Because this request is
oo broad, Plaintiffs may disregard it.
In Category No.
54, Defendants seek various documents relating to Plaintiffs' defamation
6 11
aim. As an initial matter, Defendants request that Plaintiffs execute certain authorizations allowing
em to obtain records. While some courts have required plaintiffs to execute authorizations for the
elease of records, this Court finds the opposing view more persuasive and consistent with our
discovery rules.' See Clark v. Vega Whelessle Inc., 181 F.R.D. 470, 472 (D. Nev, 1998): Neal v,
Boulder, 142 F.R.D. 325, 327 (D. Colo. 1992). Of course, a court has inherent power to control
12 discovery by virtue of its right to control the disposition of causes on its docket with economy of lime
13 and effort for itself, counsel, and litigants. See Landis v. North Am, Co., 299 U.S, 248, 254-55
14 (1936):
Maheu v. District Court, 89 Nev. 214, 217, 510 P.2d 627, 629 (1973). In extraordinary
15 situations, a court presumably has inherent authority to require a party to execute an authorization
or the release of certain records. But Defendants have not demonstrated that the documents they
seek are unavailable
through the methods set
forth in our discovery rules. For these reasons,
Plaintiffs are not required to execute the requested authorizations at this time.
Defendants also seek copies of monthly statements, deposits, and checks for accounts at
20 any bank, credit union, or other financial instilu1ion in the name of Nevada Divorce & Document
21 Services, Inc., any other business owned or operated by Plaintiffs, ERKP Family Trust, and both
22 Plaintiffs, individually, from March 1, 2010, to February 21, 2012. In their request, Defendants
23 explain that these requests are warranted due to Plaintiffs' claim for relief based upon defamation.
24 Specifically, in the Sixth Claim for Relief in Plaintiffs' supplemental complaint, Plaintiffs allege that
25 K
7
Significantly, while NRCP 28 through 37 allow a litigant to compel an opposing party to provide information or
documents, or even undergo a physical or mental examination, no rule or other authority requires a party to execute an
26 ull
authorization for the release of records upon the request of an
opponent. Similarly, neither NRCP 37 nor any other
uthority expressly empowers a Nevada court to order execution of such an authorization,
DefendantJ.MichaelSundemadeanunprivileged,false,anddefamatorystatementconcerning
PlaintiffstoRobertCrockett'semployer.InParagraph25ofthesupplementalcomplaint,Plaintiffs
allegethatDefendantsentalettertoPlaintiffCrockett'sbranchmanager,datedSeptember1,2011,
regarding"AllegationsRe;Morals&DishonestyofAdjusterRobertD.Crockett."InParagraph26,
Plaintiffsidentifytheparticularstatementsthattheycontendaredefamatory.Essentially,Defendant
SundestatedthatPlaintiffsengagedintheftandembezzlementofhisretirementfunds,and
effectivelystolehisremodelingoftheresidenceatissueandhisMercedesBenzautomobile.

Claims of Production Were Falsified by O'Mara & Plaintiffs
O'Mara's claim to have produced documents pursuant to Defendants' REQUEST FOR
PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS is a fallacy.
On March 14.2012, Plaintiffs produced their SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL 16.1 PRODUCTION
OF DOCUMENTS. The only documents contained in this response were pictures of the 1090
Greenwich home. Exhibit 7.
On March 21_ 2012. Plaintiffs provided their RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS' REQUEST
FOR
7 PROM(' floN OF DOCUMENTS. Plaintiffs provided no documents in this response.
Exhibit 8.
On June 4.2012. Plaintiffs produced nearly 500 pages of
in their SUPPLEMENTAL
9 RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS' REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS, Exhibit 9.
20 However, many of the documents contained in this response were not included in DEFENDANTS'
2111 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. Exhibit 9, A summary of documents released
Defendants in this production is contained in Exhibit 10.
On August 20.2012. Plaintiffs provided their THIRD SUPPLEMENTAL 16.1 PRODUCTION OF
24 DOCUMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO FIRST REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION OF
25 DOCUME.NTS, Exhibit 11. 'Fhis response included only rental information from the apartment rented
26 by Defendants.
27On June 12, 2012. Defendants filed a motion to quash and objections to a subpoena issued by
28 Plaintiffs to Defendants' prior landlord. Montebello Apartments. Plaintiffs provided no notice of this
submission to Defendants, Plaintiffs filed a response to Defendants motion to quash on June 18,2012.
Defendants tiled a request for submission on June 26, 2012. In an act of extreme bias and prejudice and
in violation of Defendants' Constitutional rights to due process, this Court ignored Defendants' motion
4 and has never issued an order related to this motion to quash. Plaintiffs have this day filed a motion to
quash subpoenas recently.' served by Defendants for bank records ordered produced by this Court in its
Order olJuly 20. 2012, As Plaintiffs are now lying about having produced these documents. it behooves
his Court to reject Plaintiffs' motion to quash.
8 1On August 29. 2012. Plaintiffs sent a letter to Defendants claiming they have complied with ,
discovery order oldie Court and have also complied with defendants' request No. 54. Exhibit 12. As
e exhibits prove herein, Plaintiffs are lying that full production had occurred, and No. 54 has not been
:sponded to.

TO STAY AND MOTION FOR RELIEF FROM ORDER
18
Presently before the Court, is a Motion for Reconsideration of an Order to Stay filed
19
by Defendants J. MICHAEL SUNDE and VIKTORIYA SUNDE (hereafter collectively referred
20
to as "Defendants") on December 24, 2012. Following, on January 14, 2013, Plaintiffs
21
ROBERT CROCKEi i and VICTORIA CROCKETT (hereafter collectively referred to as
22
"Plaintiffs") filed an Opposition to Defendants' Motion for Reconsideration. Thereafter, on
23
January 17, 2013, Defendants filed a Request for Submission, thereby submitting the
24
atter for the Court's consideration.
25
On January 17, 2013, Defendants filed a Motion for Relief from Order. Thereafter,
26
on February 5, 2013, Plaintiffs filed an Opposition to Motion for Relief from Order.
27
Following, on February 8, 2013, Defendants filed a Reply to Opposition to Motion for Relief

from Order. Contemporaneously, Defendants filed a Request for Submission, thereby
2
submitting the matter for the Court's consideration.
Defendants are requesting reconsideration of this Court's December 13, 2012 Order
4 Granting Plaintiffs' Motion to Stay the Pending Action. In that Motion, Plaintiffs requested
that this Court stay the pending action until the conclusion of the previously litigated case
6 between the same parties which is currently before the Nevada Supreme Court.
7 Defendants argued that the action did not qualify for consolidation as there are no
similar issues of damages, no common questions of law, and no common questions of fact.
9 This Court determined that a stay in this case would be in the best interest of the Court
and the parties, as not to waste the Court's time on previously decided issues.
11 This Court believes that Defendants' filings of these Motions are done so without
12 merit and would be considered vexatious litigation. These Motions seem to be repetitive
13 and burdensome and an abuse of the judicial system. This Court does consider the merits
14 of the Motions that have been filed in this case, and at this time will not reconsider the
ruling regarding these matters set forth in the December 13, 2012 Order. Accordingly,
16 both Motions are denied.
17 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendants' Motion for
18 Reconsideration of Order to Stay is DENIED.
19 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendants' Motion for Relief from Order is
DENIED.
