Federal Court Filing Dkt 346: A Public Demand for Oversight and Constitutional Accountability

Filed October 21, 2025

United States District Court, Central District of California

Case No. 2:22-CV-02846-MWC-BFM — Morris Patrick v. County of Los Angeles, et al.

Summary:

This filing preserves verified government evidence documenting constitutional violations and failures of oversight by Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties.

Why This Filing Matters

Families throughout California continue to seek justice and transparency in the child welfare system. On October 21 2025, I filed Dkt 346 titled Plaintiff’s Notice of Filing Supplemental Documentary Record (Non Motion) with the United States District Court for the Central District of California.

This filing preserves verified public records that expose government misconduct, constitutional violations, and failures of county oversight in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties.

This is not a motion. It is an act of preservation, transparency, and accountability.

Dkt 346 was filed under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1) and Federal Rules of Evidence 201(b) to ensure that truth, evidence, and public education materials become part of the permanent judicial record.

Purpose of Dkt 346

This filing gives formal notice to the Court and to the public that both Los Angeles County and San Bernardino County have been informed, warned, and given the opportunity to respond to systemic misconduct and constitutional failures.

Its purpose is to document ongoing violations by DCFS and CFS, preserve the public record, and demonstrate the legal and moral duty of county leadership under the Tenth Amendment.

The Tenth Amendment reserves power to the states and to the people. Every county board of supervisors therefore bears direct constitutional responsibility for its own child welfare agencies. Dkt 346 stands as proof that citizens have spoken, demanded hearings, and exercised their right to lawful accountability.

Exhibits Submitted:

Exhibit A

Formal correspondence to the Los Angeles and San Bernardino County Boards of Supervisors requesting a joint public hearing and investigation under the Tenth Amendment.

Exhibit B

Stop Blaming the Federal System and See the Real Problem in the State. Educational publication explaining that accountability for child welfare corruption rests with state and county governments, not the federal system.

Exhibit C

Educating About Voting Responsibilities in Your County: The Power of the Tenth Amendment. Guide showing how local charters act as county constitutions and why informed voting is essential to hold supervisors accountable.

Exhibit D

The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Have Betrayed the People and Protect DCFS Corruption for Profit. Report detailing misuse of federal Adoption and Safe Families Act funds and financial incentives linked to unnecessary family separations.

Exhibit E

The McArthur Family Exposes DCFS Misconduct and Ongoing Harassment and McArthur’s Story: DCFS Continue Harassment. Documents revealing a continuing pattern of retaliation against families who challenge government abuse.

Exhibit F

Audrey and Marcus McArthur’s Story: A Fight for Family. Firsthand account showing the human cost of systemic failure and the strength of parents who refuse to be silenced.

Legal Foundation

Dkt 346 is supported by the following:

• Federal Rule of Evidence 201(b) — Judicial notice of public records

• Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(1) — Preservation of relevant materials

• Local Rule 7 6 — Filing of documentary exhibits

• Local Rule 83 2 2 — Standards for pro se litigants

• Local Rule 11 6 — Duty of candor and respect toward the Court

  
  

These authorities confirm that the submission is lawful, appropriate, and grounded in truth, transparency, and accountability.

The Meaning of This Filing

Dkt 346 represents a defining moment in the pursuit of justice. It ensures that documented misconduct and oversight failures remain part of the public record, preventing local governments from hiding behind silence or procedure.

Every elected official who received these notices now bears full responsibility for their response or lack of response.

This filing reminds every citizen that change begins with knowledge, courage, and documentation.

Once truth is recorded, it cannot be erased.

Looking Ahead

The next steps include submitting all referenced materials to the California State Auditor and the U.S. Office of Inspector General for independent review.

These efforts will form a complete record of judicial and administrative accountability, ensuring public access to verified evidence of systemic non-compliance within Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties.

Final Message

Government transparency begins with the people.

Accountability starts with truth.

Oversight requires courage.

Dkt 346 stands as evidence that silence from county leadership is no longer acceptable. The law belongs to the people, and justice must never be delayed by politics or fear.
