3 Fairfield CA Judges, Mediator Face Criminal & Civil Rights Allegations in Federal Jury Trial.
Conspiracy to Deny Civil Rights, Falsified Court Filings, Specific Misrepresentation to Avoid Non-Jurisdiction Among Myriad Accusations

Wellington, Nevada. July 24, 2025 – Edward Whittaker, Founder and Chief Executive of Great Basin Power, today announced a federal lawsuit against 3 Solano County, California, Superior Court Justices and a family court mediator in an expansive judicial misconduct complaint to be decided by jury trial, heard by Eastern District Chief Justice Nunley.

The federal case independently and/or collectively accuses Superior Court Judges Christine Donovan, Christine Carringer, and Stephanie Grogan-Jones of myriad misconduct violations. A partial list includes:

1. Conspiracy to deny both Mr. Whittaker’s and his 3 children’s Civil Rights

2. Fabricated fully false criminal allegations serving as the basis for suspending Mr. Whittaker’s and his children’s visitation rights, including phone and web based contact.

3. Communication with the opposing party, either directly or via a third party relay.

4. Miscasting regular custody hearings into “emergency hearings” in an attempt to circumvent the county’s lack of jurisdiction.

5. Court terminated proceedings, never allowing Mr. Whittaker to speak or present a case, after he sought clarification about the nature of the hearings.

6. Attempting to lure Mr. Whittaker into agreeing to being read evidence into the record rather than reschedule hearings because he had not yet been served any documents by the opposing party which the judge KNEW were not admissible.

7. Ignoring Mr. Whittaker’s clear, stated desires to be represented by counsel immediately followed by the judge attempting to interrogate Mr. Whittaker.

8. Providing inadmissible evidence to mediator who then included such evidence in a highly falsified report to the court.

9. Awarded full custody to other parent outside Mr. Whittaker’s presence during a second hearing at which plaintiff was not present after being specifically misled by mediator.

10. Making rulings in a custody case about which the county possesses no jurisdiction, as agreed by the county itself in 2018 during a conference call between Ada County, Idaho and Solano County, California judges because neither party or the children actually live in Solano County.

11. Falsely identifying Mr. Whittaker in hearings under the guise of being a “domestic violence” perpetrator, presumably based upon 2 dismissed TRO requests filed by the other party in 2016 (dismissed because filing party neither appeared nor served Mr. Whittaker) and 2018 (dismissed after Mr. Whittaker demonstrated the opposing party impersonated “confessions” to his friends on a social media).

12. Attempting to “run out the clock” knowing that Mr. Whittaker suffers from an exceedingly rare , life shortening vascular problem.

13. Coordination between judges and the opposing party in advance of a hearing which attempted to redirect and recast why Mr. Whittaker’s and his children’s visitation rights were suspended – pretending the initial ruling didn’t exist.

14. Mr. Whittaker has suffered extensive financial and mental health losses specifically and directly stemming from profound court misconduct.

The suit identifies mediator Denise Woodcock’s conduct as a gross violation, start to finish, of California’s statutes and rules governing family court mediator conduct including failure to provide orientation, attempting to disguise ad-hoc mediation as an interrogation, submitting falsified documents to the court, coordinating false charges with the judge and opposing party, direct communication with the opposing party outside Mr. Whittaker’s presence, falsely accusing Mr. Whittaker of numerous felonies (which were not shown in her report to the court), causing significant financial loss, creating significant mental anguish and more.

On constitutional grounds, Mr. Whittaker’s complaint seeks to end “Custody by Cop,” “Custody by TRO” practices and strike down certain aspects of coercive domestic violence laws citing due process voids. He endeavors to hold each defendant accountable to the fullest extent provided by local, state and federal statutes including criminal penalties, where applicable; and intends to request oversight of California’s family courts to ensure equity applies to each person who appears before the court.

An important forthcoming update to Mr. Whittaker’s complaint offers more detail and includes additional named parties as defendants including the opposing party and, possibly, Solano County, Sutter County, and Ada County, Idaho public servants.
