this is mostly done out of an abundance of caution because I sense Judge Clifton being taken over by

late for him to use his talents for helping the forces of good, and not
evil, but he may need to help in getting there. pat flanagan hit me we a $42K atty fee award in

Judge Clifton was shaking with anger and venom when he forced me to admit I had filed grievances

this guy went to Stanford around 1966 with Washoe Legal Services Paul Elcano, whom he
admits to being "boyhood chums" with (what about the wine business, guys?) and Judge
STeven Elliot, who has "randomly" been assigned three criminal appeals of Coughlin's
since Coughlin upset the brother and sister Judge tandem of Linda and William Garnder
by filing a Petition for Writ of Mandamus in 54844 after her sanctions against him
were cited by Elcano as the
sole reason he fired
Coughlin....then in CV11-01955 Coughlin sued WLS and CAAW and Judge Elliot did
disclose that he was on
CAAW's Board or that he
worked at Echeverria and
Osborne, and now Echeverria is the Panel Chair for Coughlin formal Discipline
hearing and Elcano is added as a witness just a couple days before the hearing along with
most of the other people who graduated from McGeorge School of law between 1977-1982
please add JOhn Echeverria is he is subject to Judicial Discipline
Commission Jurisdiction in his role as Panel Chair.
Tom Susich and Pat King really did a "shake and
bake" on the formal disciplinary hearing Panel

Mr. Coughlin:
Your email regarding your missing secure property was forwarded to me for response. I apologize for the delay
in responding to you but it took me a little while to figure out the issue.
Your two cell phones and electric razor were put into evidence at the request of Judge Nash-Holmes on
February 28, 2012. In order for us to release them to you, we will need an order from Judge Nash-Holmes that
the evidence can be released to you.
To make this matter smoother for you all documentation should reflect Washoe County Sheriffs Office case
number 12-1805 and evidence number C-47591. The court case number corresponding to this issue is
11TR26800.
If you have any questions all of my contact information is listed below.

Subject: missing property from my secured property
Dear Washoe County Sheriff's Office and Jail,
The secured property returned to me today did not include either of my cell
phones or the micro sd card that were listed on my check in sheet. My agent,
Peter Eastman, did come and retrieve my keys and wallet, etc. (to help make
sure my dog would not starve to death, and I am so thankful to you for letting
him do that as animal control would have likely cost much money and I already
had a $300 towing bill for my car upon being release from jail and I am
literally flat broke, and just had to pay my $450 per year bar dues and pay for
twelve credits of continuing legal education and my yearly CLE dues....so it
3 of 17 3/29/2012 2:18 PM
really helped that the Sheriff's Office let Mr. Eastman get my keys to feed my
dog, thank you!).
However, Mr. Eastman indicates to me that he did not receive either cell phone
or the micro sd card upon picking up my secured property.
If possible please reply by fax or email as I, obviously, do not have my phones
and there is a problem right now with my usps mailbox.

Yes, a micro sd card was listed on the inventory at intake and was released with the rest of your property on
2-29-12 to Peter Eastman. I will scan and email you a copy of the intake property form and the release form
signed by Mr. Eastman.

I am saying that two cell phones and an electric razor were placed into evidence at the instrucon of Judge
Nash-Holmes and the evidence envelope states that is what is in the envelope. As I do not work in or have
access to the evidence unit, I am relaying what they told me when they checked the envelope.

In response to your prior email, the property record form stated that there was a micro sd card. The
Authorizaon for Release of Property/Money was dated 2-29-12 and signed by Mr. Eastman. The statement
he signed states that he acknowledged that he received the items listed on the property record form. I can
only assume that is the case as he signed the form and you authorized him to pick up the property.

Since I am not an aorney I will send your last two emails to the Assistant District Aorney assigned to the
Sheris Oce for response.

So, are you saying you or your office currently have an "evidence envelope" that contains
these items placed into "evidence" . Do you whether that comprots with previous
assertions made by your office or agents, or, if, in fact, it contradicts representations as to
whom came and took what? If you still have any of this property in your possession,
please consider whether it is legal for you to allow the RMC or the Reno Marshal to come
check it out like a book from the library, or whether you have some liability if, oopsie,
something "disappears". Please ask Deputy Cheung about all of these circumstances
detailed in our correspondences and provide written documentation detailing his
responses. Further, please provide pictures of the evidence envelope and all the "evidence"
within such an envelope, including whether a micro sd card in within such materials or
whether such a card is somehow contained in one of the phones or otherwise instereted
into the same. Additionally, please indicate whether a phone battery or two is present.
Please ask yourself who is running what and whether that is appropriate.

Dear Ms. Beckman,
A WCSO Deputy informed me that my property was being held in evidence, including a
flip phone style cell phone, and an HTC g2 smartphone in addition to a micro sd memory
card, and an electric shaved. He indicated the items were booked into evidence on
2/27/12, then taken by the City of Reno Marshal Division on 2/28/12. A WCSO Deputy
also indicated these items in evidence were release again to the City of Reno Marshal
Division on 3/14/12 because "its just easier to get it back to you that way"....However, now
it appears once again your office has the property.
I would like a written response detailing the chain of custody of all the property for all

3 THE COURT: And then the last thing we're going to
4 take before a recess will be the Zachary Coughlin.
5 MR. YOUNG: Good morning, Your Honor.
6 MR. DOGAN: Your Honor, Biray Dogan on behalf of
7 Mr. Coughlin who is present today and out of custody.
8 THE DEFENDANT: Good morning, Your Honor.
9 THE COURT: All right. Then this matter is here on
10 a report of psychiatric evaluation. There is a letter
11 here from Sally Farmer and Bill Davis. And have you
12 received this, Mr. Dogan?
13 MR. DOGAN: Your Honor, can I have the Court's
14 indulgence?
15 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, can we approach?
16 THE COURT: Yes.
17 (A discussion was held off the record.)
18 THE COURT: Well, as a result of the hearing here
19 at the bench, the Coughlin matter will be continued to
20 the end of our docket so that we can take a recess now.
21 And the end of the docket means that it would be after
22 the 10 o'clock matter, because it's already 25 after
23 10:00 or so, and we need to get on with another matter
24 in that we have a lot of people here.
4
1 All right. So court will stand in recess.
2 (A recess was taken and the following
proceedings were had at 10:45 a.m.:)
3
4 THE COURT: As our next case then, we'll go back to
5 the 8:30 docket, and let's take Zachary Coughlin again.
6 Let's see if we can conclude that matter.
7 MR. YOUNG: Good morning, Your Honor.
8 THE DEFENDANT: Good morning, Your Honor.
9 THE COURT: And then we're here to discuss the
10 letter of April 17 that was sent out really to
11 Mr. Dogan with copies to me and Mr. Young from Sally
12 Farmer and Bill Davis who are psychologists at the
13 Lakes Crossing Center.
14 And, Mr. Dogan, do you want to explain this?
15 MR. DOGAN: Yes, Your Honor.
16 THE DEFENDANT: I'm sorry, Your Honor, if I can
17 interject quickly.
18 THE COURT: I'm asking Mr. Dogan to start.
19 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor, but before he puts
20 anything on the record, I'm going to ask to have him
21 withdrawn or--
22 MR. DOGAN: That would be a separate matter.
23 THE COURT: I'll go with Mr. Dogan.
24 THE DEFENDANT: Thank you, Your Honor.
5
1 MR. DOGAN: Your Honor, if any issues are raised
2 regarding a motion to withdraw or anything dealing with
3 my representation of Mr. Coughlin, that would be a
4 separate hearing. That hearing will be under Young
5 versus State. Today we are here for one matter, and
6 that is the SB89 regarding my client's competency and
7 whether he's fit to proceed with adjudication.
8 Your Honor, I'm going to be requesting a short
9 two-week continuance in this case so that my client can
10 be evaluated by Lakes Crossing, by both Sally Farmer
11 and Dr. Davis.
12 My client has done all he can do to make his
13 scheduled appointments with both of the doctors in this
14 matter. And there have been some significant
15 difficulties with Mr. Coughlin being evaluated by both
16 of those doctors. However, I believe those
17 difficulties will be able to-- we'll iron them out and
18 we'll be able to get that competency evaluation for the
19 Court within two weeks.
20 THE COURT: So you're in essence telling me that
21 you believe at this point in time that your client is
22 willing to cooperate with an evaluator?
23 MR. DOGAN: I do, Your Honor. Your Honor, the
24 reason is because the Court has never-- we've never
6
1 appeared in court. And if Your Honor orders
2 Mr. Coughlin to cooperate and to obtain the
3 evaluations, by then we should be able to have those
4 evaluations for Court.
5 The one thing that I want to prevent in this case
6 is Mr. Coughlin being remanded into the custody of the
7 Washoe County Sheriff so that he can be evaluated while
8 he's at the Washoe County Jail. That's a huge concern
9 of mine. And I do not want Mr. Coughlin to be remanded
10 to the custody of the Sheriff.
11 Your Honor, the main reason is because Mr. Coughlin
12 is a licensed attorney. He does have clients and he's
13 representing those clients. If he is remanded into the
14 custody of the Sheriff, he will not be able to pursue
15 the litigation that he must while representing those
16 individuals, and his livelihood-- it will significantly
17 impact his livelihood. And, therefore, I'm going to
18 make that request, that this matter be continued
19 briefly for two weeks, Your Honor.
20 THE COURT: Well, clearly if he's not going to
21 cooperate out of custody, putting him into custody, you
22 know, and forcibly cooperating is the alternative, so
23 it has to be considered.
24 And, Mr. Young, what is the State's position?
7
1 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, I think Mr. Dogan
2 accurately stated that essentially your two
3 alternatives at this point are just to continue the
4 matter out a few weeks to give Mr. Coughlin an
5 opportunity to be evaluated or alternatively remand him
6 into custody where, as you stated, it would more or
7 less seek to-- that the evaluations take place.
8 I'm going to respectfully ask that you follow the
9 latter of those two alternatives. And if I could take
10 a minute to explain why I'm making that recommendation.
11 He was released for this case on a 1,500-dollar
12 bond that he posted. And obviously, one of the
13 conditions of somebody being released, whether it's
14 bond, OR or otherwise, is conditioned upon that
15 individual's good behavior. And what we have here is
16 an individual who-- The competency evaluation was
17 filed in Justice Court February 27th. The matter was
18 set to my knowledge for April 3rd in front of Your
19 Honor for the evaluation.
20 There was the request, albeit done by e-mail by
21 Mr. Coughlin in his personal capacity, but after
22 speaking with the court staff and Mr. Dogan, I agreed
23 to continue that out to give Mr. Coughlin the
24 opportunity to get his evaluations done.
8
1 We then go forward to today. And Your Honor has
2 already referenced the letter which talks about
3 threatening legal action against one of the evaluators,
4 showing up late to the scheduled appointment, taking
5 additional time to--
6 THE DEFENDANT: Object, Your Honor; hearsay.
7 THE COURT: Overruled.
8 THE DEFENDANT: Move to strike.
9 THE COURT: You're not in a position to object to
10 anything.
11 THE DEFENDANT: I understand that, Your Honor.
12 Respectfully, I submit that rather than having
13 handcuffs on me, by having Mr. Dogan as my attorney, I
14 would ask that I be allowed to represent myself.
15 THE COURT: You're in a position where, you know,
16 if you interrupt and cause trouble, you're going to be
17 taken into custody and then forcibly, you know, given
18 these evaluations, so if I were you, I would simply
19 cooperate with us and don't cause a problem.
20 All right. Mr. Young, you may proceed.
21 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, after showing up 20 minutes
22 late according to the letter, which is on file with the
23 court, he takes an additional ten minutes arguing with
24 security personnel and basically being completely
9
1 disruptive to the process.
2 The ironic thing about this is that this evaluation
3 is entirely for Mr. Coughlin's benefit. The threshold
4 question is: Is he competent to stand trial? But even
5 if he's-- if the evaluations come back that he is
6 competent, his attorney can use that to his benefit
7 with what's contained in the evaluations for any
8 potential negotiation purposes, sentencing, should we
9 get to that point, and the like.
10 And so through the actions of the defendant, not to
11 mention his previous statements that, one, he doesn't
12 even want to get evaluated for competency, and then
13 subsequent to that having a problem having Lakes
14 Crossing do that, at a minimum, his actions are not
15 evidencing good character as is required by his bail
16 being posted. At worst, it's completely
17 obstructionist.
18 And he is in the sole position to bring this entire
19 proceeding to a screeching halt if he continues this
20 behavior, showing up late, not cooperating with going
21 through evaluations which benefit him.
22 So based on that, Your Honor, what I would ask is
23 that you revoke the bond that was previously posted and
24 remand him into custody. We can set this for another
10
1 hearing consistent with the Court's calendar and the
2 evaluators at Lakes Crossing so that we can come back
3 to Your Honor and determine, which is the only
4 threshold question at this point, is he even competent
5 to go forward.
6 And, like I say, based on the actions in this case,
7 the correspondence sent to me, either cc'd or directly
8 from Mr. Coughlin, it's clear to the State that he's
9 just being an obstructionist through this entire
10 process, and so remand is appropriate to the State.
11 THE COURT: Well, Mr. Coughlin, we are at this
12 stage where you need to have this evaluation. And I
13 need to know, are you going to cooperate and go over to
14 Lakes Crossing and get the evaluation?
15 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, if I may address that
16 for a moment.
17 THE COURT: Please do.
18 THE DEFENDANT: Okay. Your Honor, there's been
19 some problems in terms of working with Mr. Dogan here.
20 I haven't been copied on filings to the Court. It's
21 always been my understanding, either by Mr. Dogan or by
22 the D.A., it's always been my understanding as an
23 attorney that that's just a matter of course, you copy
24 your clients on anything you file and anything you
11
1 receive.
2 Mr. Bosler, after I had complained of Mr. Dogan's
3 failure to so copy me in that regard, particularly with
4 respect to, say, this order for competency eval--
5 MR. DOGAN: For the record, that was provided to
6 Mr. Coughlin.
7 THE DEFENDANT: He might have e-mailed that to me,
8 but certainly documents such as the D.A.'s opposition
9 to my motion to appear as co-counsel and have
10 Mr. Dogan, I believe, withdraw as counsel, that was
11 never forwarded on to me despite my--
12 MR. DOGAN: For the record, that was also provided
13 to Mr. Coughlin.
14 THE DEFENDANT: Excuse me, sir. I would like to
15 have my opportunity now.
16 THE COURT: Go ahead.
17 THE DEFENDANT: I have provided Mr. Dogan express
18 written indication that I wish to be copied on every
19 single filing in this matter. In addition, matters
20 which perhaps are going to be subject to a work product
21 exception which the Public Defender would not have to
22 provide me, such as e-mails between Mr. Dogan and
23 Mr. Young, but I have expressly indicated in writing on
24 numerous times that I wished to be copied on that.
12
1 To get back-- I know this is getting somewhat far
2 afield, Your Honor, from what you prompted me to
3 address, but this competency evaluation, I would object
4 to this competency evaluation on a number of grounds.
5 One would be res judicata. There was already a
6 competency evaluation done. I passed with flying
7 colors.
8 Judge Sferrazza thought so much it that he
9 essentially folded it up into a paper airplane and went
10 like that (indicating) and sent it right back to
11 Mr. Goodnight, and the bill along with it. Whereupon
12 Mr. Goodnight promptly-- He's a Public Defender who
13 attended to the first competency evaluation.
14 Mr. Goodnight promptly asked to be allowed to withdraw.
15 And Judge Sferrazza sagely pointed out to
16 Mr. Goodnight the inequity and disingenuous of his so
17 standing behind a request for a competency evaluation
18 only to immediately thereafter seek to withdraw,
19 essentially saying: Which is it, Mr. Goodnight? Does
20 your client need a competency eval or is he so-- he
21 doesn't need you?
22 Your Honor, there's some legal points I would like
23 to put in the record here. NRS 178, I believe it's dot
24 455, but I could be wrong, but I did copy Mr. Dogan and
13
1 Mr. Young on this recently in writing, says that
2 motions have to be in writing. There was no written
3 motion in this regard. I've reviewed the file in the
4 Reno Justice Court. And this is the case with both of
5 the competency evaluations that have been ordered here.
6 And both of them, I believe, demonstrate a retaliatory
7 intent on the part of the Public Defender.
8 And Mr. Hunt who was testifying here earlier, well,
9 he went into matters to which I can't-- I can't say--
10 I know Mr. Dogan. We went to high school together.
11 We're both Reno High, I believe, class of '95-ish, from
12 Swope to Reno High. And I've never known him to be a
13 Jihadist or anything or that sort. You know--
14 MR. DOGAN: A Jihadist for the Public Defender,
15 though.
16 THE DEFENDANT: He's always been a bright guy with,
17 you know, a good sense of humor. So I can't concur
18 with Mr. Hunt's statements in that regard.
19 Now, respectfully, I can submit I've been shushed.
20 I've been told, you know, things similar to what was
21 being said.
22 I understand that the Public Defender is in a very
23 funny situation. It's a very-- It's got to be very
24 difficult. And I'll just say respectfully, Your Honor,
14
1 I was a domestic violence attorney for a legal aid
2 organization which I believe you're aware of attendant
3 to another case in your court, but I thought that stuff
4 was heavy to deal with on an emotional level. But
5 sitting here this morning, witnessing what the bench
6 and the Public Defender and the District Attorney have
7 to deal with, that they have to do in the course of
8 their business every day, it's-- I don't want to say
9 impressive, but it makes me have even more respect for
10 the court and the Public Defender and the District
11 Attorney, because these are heavy matters. These are
12 very human issues that you deal with here.
13 And I say that respectfully. Now I'm going to get
14 to what I wanted to say, which is somewhat critical.
15 And I just prefaced it with that respect, to point out
16 that I do even more so now comprehend the enormity of
17 the-- the heaviness and the emotional burden that you
18 and those at the bar here face every day.
19 But I have been shushed a lot. I've had Mr. Dogan
20 storm away from me. Granted, it's not easy to have an
21 attorney as a client.
22 THE COURT: Mr. Coughlin, you know, I have limited
23 time today to devote to this matter, and really what
24 you are facing is that I agree that you need this
15
1 evaluation, I want to see it, and either you agree that
2 you'll cooperate and go over to Lakes Crossing and get
3 the two evaluations or I will revoke your bail, put you
4 into custody and then as an in-custody you will be
5 evaluated.
6 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor. And just quickly
7 for the record, I'll dispense with the frilly language
8 and extemporaneous, you know, speechmaking, but there
9 was no motion here made pursuant to 178, I believe dot
10 455. There needs to be in the records with the Justice
11 Court articulating an express basis for seeking this.
12 I believe there's a retaliatory basis.
13 Just days prior to this being made, and I believe
14 improper contact being made with the Municipal Court by
15 somebody with the Public Defender's, just days prior to
16 that, I filed a motion critical of Mr. Dogan missing a
17 hearing. In that regard, I believe there also needs to
18 be a hearing. There was no hearing in either of these
19 matters.
20 THE COURT: Mr. Coughlin, are you basically telling
21 me that you're not intending to get the evaluation,
22 that you're resisting--
23 THE DEFENDANT: No, sir, that's not what I'm
24 telling you. I'm saying--
16
1 THE COURT: Because if you're not going to do it on
2 your own, I'll put you in custody and we'll take care
3 of it that way.
4 THE DEFENDANT: I understand, Your Honor. And
5 that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is-- You
6 referenced this process. I believe if we're going to
7 call it a process, it needs to entail some process,
8 some due process hopefully.
9 And if I ask Mr. Dogan to conduct some Legal
10 research on-- which I have done, Your Honor, and I
11 would like to put forth some of these cases to you,
12 directed to the parameters of such competency
13 evaluation, directed to the privacy rights attendant to
14 one forced to undergo such an evaluation. I've simply
15 received no counsel or no advocacy in this regard from
16 the Public Defender. I've had meetings missed. I've
17 been told to shush. I've been told all sorts of things
18 that just frankly I'm taken aback by.
19 This evaluation, we have no idea of the scope of
20 this other than I'm given some indication by the
21 statute what it is directed to, my ability to
22 understand the proceedings, to assist Mr. Dogan in the
23 defense thereof. And there's one more element which
24 I'm blanking on right now, but it's substantially
17
1 similar to the first one.
2 It's not a-- it's not a blank check to
3 psychiatrists who have some sort of requirement
4 contract with the Public Defender, and I stated some--
5 or the court. I've stated some objections. I believe
6 I should be able to have a private psychologist
7 appropriately certified under NRS 178 to perform this.
8 I've been told no. I've been told I won't be
9 reimbursed in that regard.
10 But it's not a blank check, I don't believe, to
11 force me, someone who is seeking to take advantage of
12 my tax dollars at work by having my Sixth Amendment
13 right to counsel accorded to me. It's not a blank
14 check to Lakes Crossing to demand anything they want to
15 know about me, particularly when I'm involved in a
16 field where mendacious and scurrilous individuals such
17 as Richard G. Hill will co-op any sort of information
18 or innuendo--
19 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, I'm going to object to this
20 as completely irrelevant.
21 THE DEFENDANT: --to further their ends.
22 THE COURT: I have to agree.
23 Mr. Coughlin, if you're telling me fundamentally
24 that you don't plan to cooperate, I'll revoke your bail
18
1 and put you into custody of the Washoe County Sheriff
2 and then they can get you, you know, the evaluations as
3 an in-custody person. That's what I would have to do.
4 You know, you are a very articulate man and, you
5 know, you're stating your positions on this, but your
6 positions are against what I want done.
7 THE DEFENDANT: I don't know what you want done,
8 Your Honor.
9 THE COURT: I just want you to get the two
10 evaluations at Lakes Crossing. They're the people that
11 normally do this for everybody, you know, and--
12 THE DEFENDANT: And I presented--
13 THE COURT: --that's the appropriate thing to have
14 done at this time.
15 THE DEFENDANT: And I presented twice in that
16 regard, Your Honor, and it's my understanding they just
17 flat out refuse to continue. In that regard, I believe
18 I should-- One, I dispute the accuracy of their letter
19 wholeheartedly. I find it inaccurate, I find it
20 retaliatory in tone. But I did present-- And there's
21 a case--
22 THE COURT: Well, I've never seen a letter like
23 this before. I mean, people just don't show up, that's
24 true, but once they show up, they generally, you know,
19
1 cooperate with the talking and taking whatever testing
2 needs to be done and get the evaluation. It's not a
3 very painful process.
4 THE DEFENDANT: And I was told-- Maybe not for
5 people who aren't very aware of constitutional rights.
6 But for someone who is burdened with the fact that they
7 went to law school, you know, it's difficult. And I
8 would submit that there's a number of cases in juris
9 prudence in this regard that speak to the extent--
10 THE COURT: Mr. Coughlin, since you're not going to
11 cooperate--
12 THE DEFENDANT: No, I will cooperate. I just need
13 to know, Your Honor--
14 THE COURT: But you're telling me you're not
15 cooperating.
16 THE DEFENDANT: No, I will. I'm telling you I
17 will. And I did, I showed up. They asked me a
18 question--
19 THE COURT: You have to show up and you have to
20 meet with the two psychiatrists or psychologists, I
21 guess, technically, whatever they are, and, you know,
22 talk to them, be responsive and get the appropriate
23 evaluation.
24 THE DEFENDANT: If they ask me to take off my
20
1 clothes and appear naked, do I need to do that?
2 THE COURT: I think it's unlikely that that's going
3 to happen to you. I'm not going to speculate as to,
4 you know, totally absurd, you know, things that could
5 happen during a psychological--
6 THE DEFENDANT: If they ask me if I've ever had any
7 mental health treatment, if they ask me to have a copy
8 of any of my medical records, if they ask me any sort
9 of personal information that would normally be
10 protected--
11 THE COURT: Then you're saying you won't cooperate?
12 THE DEFENDANT: No, I didn't say that, sir. And I
13 didn't say that to Lakes Crossing either. They stormed
14 off. I said, "I'll have to check my records, let me--"
15 something like, "Let me think about that."
16 And they stormed off in anger. They said, "We're
17 done and left."
18 And it was appalling. And then to send the letter
19 they sent you, Your Honor, is appalling. I didn't
20 stand there and say: I'm refusing to tell you
21 anything. I didn't do that. Dr. Davis appeared--
22 THE COURT: Look, Mr. Coughlin, I just need to
23 know, are you going to go there and cooperate and get
24 this psychological evaluation or not? I mean, are you
21
1 going to do it on your own out of custody?
2 THE DEFENDANT: Yes, Your Honor, I will, but--
3 THE COURT: Okay. Well, if you are going to do
4 that and you commit to this court basically under
5 penalty of being found in contempt for failing to do
6 it, you know, I'll leave you out of custody and you can
7 get this on your own. But if you're not going to go
8 there and cooperate, I'm forced to revoke your bail and
9 put you into custody and then as an in-custody prisoner
10 you can get some psychological counseling, and, you
11 know, evaluation.
12 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, I would just put forth,
13 I always intend to follow orders of the court. I would
14 like an opportunity to brief this and oppose the order
15 initially since I've been--
16 THE COURT: Well, that is denied. We're at the
17 point now where it's already determined that you're to
18 get this evaluation.
19 THE DEFENDANT: But I believe that an excusable
20 neglect analysis would auger towards allowing me to
21 replace Mr. Dogan based on his fraudulence basically or
22 his excusable neglect or something, but I have not been
23 accorded a due process right to oppose this evaluation.
24 I would like that.
22
1 Failing that, I would like an opportunity to brief
2 the extent to which this evaluation is a blank check to
3 Lakes Crossing. I would also like the opportunity to
4 brief the extent to which I must utilize Lakes Crossing
5 versus a private certified entity or a professional.
6 THE COURT: Well, Mr. Coughlin, after hearing you
7 argue and argue about this issue, I'm making the
8 determination that you're not going to cooperate with
9 this, and I am revoking your bail.
10 THE DEFENDANT: Sir, I will cooperate. If that's
11 what it comes down to, I--
12 THE COURT: You're going to be placed into custody
13 of the Washoe County Sheriff at this time. I revoke
14 your bail.
15 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, I just respectfully ask
16 that you reconsider, and I'll do whatever you say for
17 my--
18 THE COURT: We're done with this. I'm sorry that
19 you've forced me to take this action. I don't really
20 want to put you in custody, but it's clear that you're
21 really not going to cooperate. And you're raising
22 issues about issues that seem kind of preposterous but
23 that would give you some excuse not to cooperate. So
24 you'll have to get the examination as an in-custody
23
1 person.
2 MR. DOGAN: Your Honor, can I make one suggestion?
3 THE COURT: Yes.
4 MR. DOGAN: As soon as those competency evaluations
5 are completed, can we have Mr. Coughlin removed or no
6 longer in custody at the Washoe County Jail?
7 THE COURT: He's going to remain in custody until
8 he can be brought back here for the hearing on
9 competence.
10 THE DEFENDANT: Your Honor, if I may just make one
11 request. Given your ruling, Your Honor, I basically
12 will do what you say to do, particularly--
13 THE COURT: Well, I don't believe that you will.
14 After all this, we've spent a lot of time on it, I just
15 don't believe you anymore.
16 THE DEFENDANT: Well, Your Honor, if I may move to
17 stay based on the prejudice to my clients that--
18 THE COURT: Denied.
19 MR. YOUNG: Your Honor, do we want to set a new
20 date?
21 THE COURT: So let's set this out about in about a
22 month.
23 MR. DOGAN: Can we just--
24 THE COURT: And if it's done earlier, fine, but
24
1 let's track it for about a month is what it normally
2 takes.
3 MR. DOGAN: I understand, Your Honor. Can we just
4 have a status hearing just in case both of the
5 evaluations have been completed?
6 THE COURT: If it's done, you all can get together
7 and set it back on the calendar at that time.
8 THE CLERK: Your Honor, the first available date
9 would be May 24th at 8:30. Is that acceptable?
10 MR. YOUNG: May 24?
11 THE CLERK: Yes. Is that acceptable?
12 MR. DOGAN: It is. Thank you.
13 THE DEFENDANT: May I have those papers entered
14 into the record?
15 MR. YOUNG: Thanks, Your Honor.
16 THE DEFENDANT: That legal research on the table.
17 THE COURT: Denied.

May 24, 2012 at 8:30 a.m.)
