On or about March 7, 2018, plaintiff Darryl Carter filed a Complaint in Santa Clara County Superior Court against defendant United States Department of Justice. 2. The Complaint seeks documents under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552 (“FOIA”). 3. On or about March 23, 2018, the United States Attorney’s Office received a copy of plaintiff’s Santa Clara Superior Court Complaint. As of this date, the United States Attorney’s Office has not been served pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(i) with any process. A copy of the Santa Clara County Superior Court Complaint, along with all other superior court pleadings and process in the United States Attorney’s Office’s possession, are attached hereto as Exhibit A. 4. All pending court dates in Santa Clara County Superior Court should be automatically vacated upon the filing of this Notice of Removal. 7. This action is against a federal agency and arises under a federal statute; therefore, it is an action over which the district courts of the United States have original jurisdiction. It is removable to this court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1441(a). 1442(a)(1), 1446. 8. A federal defendant removing under Section 1442 must demonstrate three things: that it is a “person” within the meaning of the statute, that there is a “casual nexus” between its actions and the Plaintiff’s claim, and that it can assert a “colorable federal defense.” Durham v. Lockheed, 445 F.3d 1247, 1251 (9th Cir. 2006). Here, Federal Defendant has met the three-part test for removal set forth in Durham. A federal agency is a “person” within the meaning of the statute. Plaintiff claims that a federal agency is improperly withholding documents required to be produced under FOIA. Moreover, with respect to the third requirement, “colorable” is interpreted broadly because “one of the most important reasons for the removal is to have the validity of the defense of official immunity tried in a federal court.” Jefferson County, Ala. v. Acker, 527 U.S. 423, 431 (1999). Upon removal, federal defendant will be filing a motion to dismiss based on Plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies under federal law. 9. This action shall be removed to district court at any time prior to trial. Thus, this Notice Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1 Filed 04/25/18 Page 2 of 3 Notice of Removal CV - 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 of Removal is timely. 11. A copy of this Notice of Removal is being served on the Plaintiff and is being filed with the Clerk of the Santa Clara County Superior Court, Unlimited Civil Jurisdiction. This filing will automatically effect the removal action described above in its entirety to this Court for all future proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1446(d). Respectfully submitted, ALEX G.

The U.S. Department of Justice herein afier (“U.S. D.O.J”) is agency of the United States Government. Defendant U.S. D.O.J has in its posDession, custody, and control the records which Plaintiff seeks access. Defendant U.S. D.O.J is centrally headquartered at 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20530-0001. Defendant U.S. D.O.J can also be found within this judicial district at its address 150 Almaden Blvd, Suite 900 San Jose, CA 951 13. 2. Darryl Carter is an individual within in the State of California, and is the plaintiff in this action. JURISDICTION AND VENUE 3. Plaintiff brings this action pursuant 5 U.S.C. § 552(a) (4) (B); and 28 U.S.C. § 133 1. The latter statute is understood as a concurrent jurisdiction statute. Moreover, “the mere grant ofjurisdiction to a federal court does not opeate to oust a state court from concurrent jurisdiction over the cause of action.” See GulfOflshore, 453 U.S. at ~3~ COMPLAINT FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT COMPLIANCE Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-1 Filed 04/25/18 Page 6 of 37 10 ll 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 479, 101 S. Ct. at 2876 (citing United States v. Bank ofNew York & Trust, 296 U.S. 463, 56 S. Ct. 343, 80 L. Ed. 331 (1936)). Even generally recommended exclusive jurisdiction factors, borrowed from state law, would not support federal exclusive jurisdiction. GulfOffshore, 453 U.S. at 484. Venue lies in this district pursuant C.C.P. § 396b. FACTUAL BACKGROUND 4. On or around November 22, 2017 plaintiff, via certified mail, submitted a request a FOIA request to the defendant, seeking all records regarding him personally AND with respect to constitutional n'ght(s) violation(s); civil rights violation(s). See Exhibit A attached hereto. ‘ 5. Plaintiff requested documents with respect to item 4 above within the date range of01/01/16 and 11/22/17. 6. Plaintiff requested expedited treatment with respect to te release of the requested documents given his sufferance of irreparable harm. See Exhibit A. ~4~ COMPLAINT FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT COMPLIANCE Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-1 Filed 04/25/18 Page 7 of 37 10 ll 12 13 14 15 16 l7 18 l9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 7. The FOIA typically requires a responding agency i.e. the U.S. D.O.J twenty (20) working days to respond to FOIA requests such as that submitted by plaintiff. Moreover, the FOIA provisions for a unilateral ten (10) working day extension of time by a responding agency i.e. U.S. D.O.J. 8. As of February 25, 201 8 it has been more than thirty (30) working days since plaintiff submitted and defendant received plaintiff’s FOIA request. Specifically, it has been at least fifiy seven (57) working days, excluding holidays, since plaintEl submitted and defendant received his FOIA request, yet defendant has failed to respond to plaintiff‘s FOIA request. CAUSE OF ACTIONw (FOIA violation, 5 U.S.C. § 552) 10. ~5~ COMPLAINT FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT COMPLIANCE Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-1 Filed 04/25/18 Page 8 of 37 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Plaintiff incorporates 1H] 1-9 as though fully set forth herein. 1 1. Plaintiff is being persistently irreparably harmed by defendant’s FOIA violation(s). Even more so, plaintiff will continue to be irreparably harmed unless defendant is compelled to comply with the FOIA. Plaintiff suffers irreparable harm with respect to his constitutional rights and U.S. D.O.J is hiding or suppressing the release of information related thereto. Thus, plaintiff‘s believes there is government misconduct related thereto. Moreover, the FOIA’s fundamental purpose is to make the public aware of government operations. Plaintiff is both a member of the gcneral public and aggrieved by such government operations or actions related to him personally. 12. Moreover defend knew or should have known that plaintiff was suffering and continues to suffer irreparable harm given the face of plaintiff‘s FOIA request, to defendant, ubiquitously illustrates plaintiff’s homeless status, receipt of essential and life sustaining public benefits, and absence of gainful employment. 13. ~6~ COMPLAINT FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT COMPLIANCE Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-1 Filed 04/25/18 Page 9 of 37 10 ll 12 13 14 15 l6 I7 I8 l9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Furthermore, it is difficult if not impossible to comprehend any reasonable basis for defendant’s non-compliance, to plaintiff’s FOIA request, especially since plaintiff forwarded at least one civil rights violation complaint, via Fedex #776821732351, to defendant U.S. D.O.J. on or around July 22, 2016 alleging police criminal collusion against plaintiff coupled with one or more violation(s) of plaintiff‘s constitutional/civil rights. See Exhibit C, attached hereto. 14. Surely, such allegations (Exhibit C) would or should have prompted, at minimum, (a) the internal filing, labeling, and identification of plaintiff’s constitutional/civil rights complaint, (b) some type of categorization of plaintiff’s constitutional/civil rights complaint, (c) a determination related to any investigation with respect to plaintiff’s constitutional/civil rights complaint, and (d) some type of response by defendant, related to plaintiff‘s constitutional/civil rights. All of said records related to plaintiff’s July 22, 2016 constitutional/civil rights complaint, inter alia, to defendant should be or are on one or more of defendant’s servers, devices, or other mechanisms used to generate, update, edit and capture records. Furthermore, “constitutional [rights] violations cannot be remedied through damages and therefore ~7~ COMPLAINT FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT COMPLIANCE Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-1 Filed 04/25/18 Page 10 of 37 10 11 12 l3 l4 15 l6 l7 18 l9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 generally constitute irreparable harm.” (emphasis added) Nelson v. Nat ’l Aeronautics & Space Admin, 530 F.3d 865, 882 (9th Cir. 2008). 15. Defendant U.S. D.O.J did not respond to plaintiff‘s FOIA request as required per 5 U.S.C. § 552(a) (6) (A) (i). Given defendant’s failure to respond there is nothing for plaintiff to appeal per 5 U.S.C. § 552(a) (6) (A) (ii). Furthermore, such appears to be an unusual and unnecessary amount of time, on defendant’s part, with respect to reviewing plaintiff‘s underlying FOIA request. Furthermore, defendant’s failure to respond within the time prescribed per 5 U.S.C. § 552(a) (6) (A) (i) is the direct and proximate cause ofplaintiff’s expenditure 0ftime and extremely limited resources related to bringing this action. 16. Given defendant’s failure to make an initial determination of plaintiff’s FOIA request, or any other response to plaintiff‘s request for that matter, wiDn the time prescn'bed per 5 U.S.C. § 552(a) (6) (A) (i), plaintiff is deemed to have exhausted his administrative remedies per 5 U.S.C. § 552(a) (6) (C) (i). 17. ~8~ COMPLAINT FOR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT COMPLIANCE Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-1 Filed 04/25/18 Page 11 of 37 10 11 12 13 l4 15 16 17 18 l9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 PRAYER WHEREFORE, Plaintiffprays forjudgment against defendant U.S. D.O.J as follows: gegarding the first claim of relief: 1.

Office of the Assistant Attorney General, Main Washington, D.C. 20530 VIA FEDEX #7768 2173 2351 RE: . _ . Police Criminal Collusion and Intentional Denial of Constitutional Rights Dear Ms. Vanita Gupta: This correspondence is directed to your attention given the intentional pattern and practice of the Police Department with respect to holding court trials on the streets founded upon criminal collusion by officers making false statements, falsifying evidence, and denying my United States Constitutional right to petition the officials of these abuse gang of white (Caucasian) officers who have and continue to harass, intimidate, threaten, and coerce, to achieve desired outcomes while conspiring both internally with superiors and externally with private parties to achieve the desired outcome(s). Ihave, already, spent considerably more time and money pursuing my rights than is reasonable and have achieved absolutely nothing. Moreover, I have filed, now, three (3) misconduct formal complaints that most assuredly will go nowhere as this department is corrupt and policing themselves. This is one of the stories that won’t be put on national news as it doesn’t appear to fit one or more propaganda agenda(s). This is case of an African American (black) minority petitioning the supposed justice arm of the local legal system for assistance and instead treated like a criminal when it was I who contacted the police on both occasions. The former of which, whereas, this property manager called me a ”nigger.” The latter instance demonstrates how easy it is to be shot and killed by one or more of these trigger happy white officers who continue to continue this behavior. This ”white boy privilege" while carrying deadly weapons must end. Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-1 Filed 04/25/18 Page 31 of 37 . . ' ‘ .._ ' ‘1 . y .

It is not a fair legal bout for me to continue to waste my limited resources, both time and money on something that I can’t win. The playing field is leveled with the United States Department of Justice stepping in and performing an investigation and taking corrective action. That is the reality When dealing with type of issue; the State will do nothing and has done nothing to correct this behavior. Thus, I am appealing to you for relief and to perform an investigation into the conduct of the Police Department and the officials thereof. Please note the following enclosures: 1.

DIVISIONAL ASSIGNMENT (Civil Local Rule 3-2) (Place an “X” in One Box Only) SAN FRANCISCO/OAKLAND SAN JOSE EUREKA-MCKINLEYVILLE DATE SIGNATURE OF ATTORNEY OF RECORD Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-2 Filed 04/25/18 Page 1 of 2 JS-CAND 44 (rev. 07/16) INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTORNEYS COMPLETING CIVIL COVER SHEET FORM JS-CAND 44 Authority For Civil Cover Sheet. The JS-CAND 44 civil cover sheet and the information contained herein neither replaces nor supplements the filings and service of pleading or other papers as required by law, except as provided by local rules of court. This form, approved in its original form by the Judicial Conference of the United States in September 1974, is required for the Clerk of Court to initiate the civil docket sheet. Consequently, a civil cover sheet is submitted to the Clerk of Court for each civil complaint filed. The attorney filing a case should complete the form as follows: I. a) Plaintiffs-Defendants. Enter names (last, first, middle initial) of plaintiff and defendant. If the plaintiff or defendant is a government agency, use only the full name or standard abbreviations. If the plaintiff or defendant is an official within a government agency, identify first the agency and then the official, giving both name and title. b) County of Residence. For each civil case filed, except U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county where the first listed plaintiff resides at the time of filing. In U.S. plaintiff cases, enter the name of the county in which the first listed defendant resides at the time of filing. (NOTE: In land condemnation cases, the county of residence of the “defendant” is the location of the tract of land involved.) c) Attorneys. Enter the firm name, address, telephone number, and attorney of record. If there are several attorneys, list them on an attachment, noting in this section “(see attachment).” II. Jurisdiction. The basis of jurisdiction is set forth under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a), which requires that jurisdictions be shown in pleadings. Place an “X” in one of the boxes. If there is more than one basis of jurisdiction, precedence is given in the order shown below. (1) United States plaintiff. Jurisdiction based on 28 USC §§ 1345 and 1348. Suits by agencies and officers of the United States are included here. (2) United States defendant. When the plaintiff is suing the United States, its officers or agencies, place an “X” in this box. (3) Federal question. This refers to suits under 28 USC § 1331, where jurisdiction arises under the Constitution of the United States, an amendment to the Constitution, an act of Congress or a treaty of the United States. In cases where the U.S. is a party, the U.S. plaintiff or defendant code takes precedence, and box 1 or 2 should be marked. (4) Diversity of citizenship. This refers to suits under 28 USC § 1332, where parties are citizens of different states. When Box 4 is checked, the citizenship of the different parties must be checked. (See Section III below; NOTE: federal question actions take precedence over diversity cases.) III. Residence (citizenship) of Principal Parties. This section of the JS-CAND 44 is to be completed if diversity of citizenship was indicated above. Mark this section for each principal party. IV. Nature of Suit. Place an “X” in the appropriate box. If the nature of suit cannot be determined, be sure the cause of action, in Section VI below, is sufficient to enable the deputy clerk or the statistical clerk(s) in the Administrative Office to determine the nature of suit. If the cause fits more than one nature of suit, select the most definitive. V. Origin. Place an “X” in one of the six boxes. (1) Original Proceedings. Cases originating in the United States district courts. (2) Removed from State Court. Proceedings initiated in state courts may be removed to the district courts under Title 28 USC § 1441. When the petition for removal is granted, check this box. (3) Remanded from Appellate Court. Check this box for cases remanded to the district court for further action. Use the date of remand as the filing date. (4) Reinstated or Reopened. Check this box for cases reinstated or reopened in the district court. Use the reopening date as the filing date. (5) Transferred from Another District. For cases transferred under Title 28 USC § 1404(a). Do not use this for within district transfers or multidistrict litigation transfers. (6) Multidistrict Litigation Transfer. Check this box when a multidistrict case is transferred into the district under authority of Title 28 USC § 1407. When this box is checked, do not check (5) above. (8) Multidistrict Litigation Direct File. Check this box when a multidistrict litigation case is filed in the same district as the Master MDL docket. Please note that there is no Origin Code 7. Origin Code 7 was used for historical records and is no longer relevant due to changes in statute. VI. Cause of Action. Report the civil statute directly related to the cause of action and give a brief description of the cause. Do not cite jurisdictional statutes unless diversity. Example: U.S. Civil Statute: 47 USC § 553. Brief Description: Unauthorized reception of cable service. VII. Requested in Complaint. Class Action. Place an “X” in this box if you are filing a class action under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23. Demand. In this space enter the actual dollar amount being demanded or indicate other demand, such as a preliminary injunction. Jury Demand. Check the appropriate box to indicate whether or not a jury is being demanded. VIII. Related Cases. This section of the JS-CAND 44 is used to identify related pending cases, if any. If there are related pending cases, insert the docket numbers and the corresponding judge names for such cases. IX. Divisional Assignment. If the Nature of Suit is under Property Rights or Prisoner Petitions or the matter is a Securities Class Action, leave this section blank. For all other cases, identify the divisional venue according to Civil Local Rule 3-2: “the county in which a substantial part of the events or omissions which give rise to the claim occurred or in which a substantial part of the property that is the subject of the action is situated.” Date and Attorney Signature. Date and sign the civil cover sheet. Case 5:18-cv-02455-NC Document 1-2 Filed 04/25/18 Page 2 of 2
