Agency Proceedings

A neutral, public-record listing of active regulatory, enforcement, and complaint matters arising out of the conduct documented in this case file.

Civic Disclosure
Notice to Named Parties

Any of the agencies, intake offices, and enforcement bodies listed in this section may, in the ordinary course of their work, reach out to persons named in this case file. This page exists in part as a courtesy advance disclosure to those named persons, so that no contact arrives without context.

Agency intake is a customary part of how regulatory bodies do their work. Letters arrive in the mail. Investigators leave business cards. Examiners place calls. Each of these is a professional, public-service activity carried out by people doing important work, and the plaintiffs welcome it.

The plaintiffs remain available to provide additional documentary context to any agency that finds it useful. The plaintiffs do not contact named parties directly about agency matters — any contact regarding intake comes from the agency itself. If a named party receives such contact, it is the agency, not the plaintiffs, who is on the other end of it.

The discipline of this page is informational. No agency outcome is characterized or predicted. No statement on this page should be read as a determination of any kind. The substantive review of each matter is the work of the agency that holds it.

Doing the right thing is its own reward. The plaintiffs publish this disclosure in that spirit.
Timeline Discipline

Every filing on this page carries an explicit date of submission. Filings precede dispositions; dispositions arrive when they arrive. This page does not reorder events to fit later facts. The chronology shown is the chronology that was lived.

The work of building the documentary record was done before any agency disposition could shape it. The dates anchor what was published and submitted when — not retrospective rationale, but a record made in real time and offered for review in the order it was made.

The plaintiffs have submitted complaints and referrals to multiple California and federal regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over aspects of the conduct documented in this case file. This section lists those proceedings at the level of public identification appropriate to the type of matter: state license complaints are identified by assigned case number; federal reports are identified by report number; federal investigative contacts are noted generally without personnel identification.

This section provides counsel with an orientation to the landscape of active matters. It does not assert any outcome or characterize any agency’s position. No finding has been made. Status of each matter is as of the date noted.

Recent submission activity. Three recent mailing runs anchor the present posture of this section.

April 2, 2026 — nine certified letters dispatched in a single mailing run, addressed to: three Department of Real Estate channels in connection with the Hanson Le pre-complaint (the Pre-Complaint Desk, the Supervising Special Investigator, and the assigned Enforcement Investigator); three Huntington Beach Police Department channels through the chain of command (the office of the Chief, the office of the Assistant Chief, and the Professional Standards Unit) in connection with the supplemental review of HBPD Internal Affairs Matter AI 26-0003; the Federal Bureau of Investigation Los Angeles Field Office at 11000 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90024; the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Office of Inspector General at 451 Seventh Street SW, Room 8256, Washington, DC 20410; and the California Department of Insurance, attention Commissioner Ricardo Lara, at 300 South Spring Street, Los Angeles, California 90013.

April 25, 2026 — eleven certified letters dispatched as an expanded packet, with each recipient receiving a single letter together with the shared evidence chain. The expanded packet added three Washington, DC federal recipients to the prior eight: the United States Postal Inspection Service at 475 L’Enfant Plaza SW, Washington, DC 20260; the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, Housing and Civil Enforcement Section, at 950 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20530; and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at 1700 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20552.

Monday, May 18, 2026 — PC § 134 Referral Package mailed via USPS Registered Mail with Return Receipt Requested to two recipients: the Huntington Beach Police Department, addressed to the office of the Chief; and the Orange County District Attorney, addressed to Hon. Todd Spitzer. The package presents a catalog of instruments evaluated under California Penal Code § 134 (preparation of false or ante-dated instruments for use in proceedings), with companion citations to Penal Code §§ 115 and 132. Registered Mail tracking numbers are recorded with each card below and become public on this page once postmark is confirmed.

Each agency listed below is identified at the level of public record appropriate to the type of matter. Personnel assigned to specific files are not named on this page; counsel reviewing this case file may request identifying information through appropriate channels.

Statutory Frame
California Penal Code § 134 — preparation of any false or ante-dated book, paper, record, instrument in writing, or other matter or thing, with intent to produce it, or allow it to be produced for any fraudulent or deceitful purpose, as genuine or true, upon any trial, proceeding, or inquiry whatever, authorized by law.

Status
Pending disposition.

Resubmission mailed; pending disposition.

The existence of a filed complaint, report, or referral is a matter of public fact for the complainant. Each matter listed above was initiated by the plaintiffs.

Scope of this section. This section presents the existence, agency identity, and general scope of regulatory and enforcement matters initiated by the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs assert no conclusion as to the outcome of any matter. No statement on this page characterizes an agency’s position or predicts any future action. The documentary record supporting each filing is organized throughout this case file and is available for counsel’s independent review. No finding has been made.
