    Appeal by Susan Ferris from Sacramento County Superior Court alleging legal error and misconduct by Judge Matthew J. Gary. Susan Ferris filed the appeal in pro per - without an attorney – in the 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento. Due to the importance of the issues, prominent trial attorney James Brosnahan subsequently took over the appeal, representing Susan Ferris pro bono. Brosnahan brought in a legal team consisting of Kevin Calia, Devon Edwards, Andrew Bernick, George Harris, and Shaelyn Dawson from his firm, Morrison Foerster, and William Kennedy and Stephen Goldberg from Legal Services of Northern California. The appeal was filed by Susan Ferris on August 7, 2012. In a controversial decision, on March 21, 2016 3rd District Court of Appeal Justice Cole Blease dismissed the appeal as moot. The appeal was never heard on the merits. Justices Vance Raye and George Nicholson also issued orders during the course of the appeal. Court watchdogs allege that California Third District Court of Appeal Justice Coleman A. Blease exhibits bias against pro per and socioeconomically disadvantaged litigants who cannot afford counsel. Court of appeal case audits indicate that Blease has failed to report judge and attorney misconduct in violation of California Code of Judicial Ethics canon 3D(1) and (2).
