PLAINTIFF prepared his report as instructed, and prepared the District
Attorney Package (which was to be submitted to the Los Angeles District
Attorney).
42.
PLAINTIFF prepared a forty (40) page report and submitted it to his
supervisors, before submitting it to DEFENDANT PARKS (attached hereto
as Exhibit 1).
43.
LT. HERNANDEZ informally reprimanded POOLE for his report. LT HERNANDEZ
told him that `we can't hand this in. The Chief doesn't want this.'
44.
LT. HERNANDEZ commanded PLAINTIFF to turn his report over, the computer
disk it was on, and all other copies in existence. PLAINTIFF understood
this to mean that they were going to destroy his report.
45.
Later, PLAINTIFF was later approached by DET. ITO and LT. HERNANDEZ
with a two (2) page report, and they asked PLAINTIFF to sign his name
to it. PLAINTIFF refused because he saw that report as an obstruction
of justice.
46.
PLAINTIFF discovered that LT. HERNANDEZ and DET. ITO submitted their
two (2) page report (with another officer's name to it), and submitted
it with at least six (6) to seven (7) supporting documents removed from
the original package.
47.
1998 Trial of PEREZ resulted in a mistrial, and the District Attorney
refused to file other criminal charges due to lack of evidence. The
Los Angeles District Attorney also refused to criminal prosecute any
officers in the HEWITT investigation.
48.
PLAINTIFF reported his complaints to all supervisory officers; however,
nothing was done. PLAINTIFF never was, nor desired to be part of an
internal affairs investigation. His sole purpose in all the investigations
cited herein, was for a criminal purpose and case submission to the
District Attorney.

depression, he felt as though he was being prevented from doing his
job, he suffered a loss of confidence, and sleeplessness.
50.
PLAINTIFF then took sick time or stress leave.
