Stephen Gianelli 19 hours ago
7/7/2015 UPDATE:
NO Notice of Appeal filed
NO Motion to Vacate Registration of Colorado Order filed
NO Tax Court Petition filed
NO Opposition to Sanctions Motion filed
A notice of appeal is a once-page document that basically says “I appeal _____________”and is dated, signed and filed.
If form DV-600 may not be used to register an out-of-state order that is not premised on domestic violence, how complicated could that motion be?
It is unsurprising that there is no tax court petition on file given the lack of a notice of assessment and/or determination within the last 60 days – and therefore no Tax Court jurisdiction.
As to these other matters, including the “RICO suit” it is clear that Lynch is not serious about those matters either. Since she doesn’t work, has paralegal skills, and has been threatening these filings for months or years.
She could have written a hundred motions to vacate the Colorado order and 20 RICO suits by now. And a Notice of Appeal takes ten minutes to type and print.

UPDATE: On June 19, 2015 Federal magistrate Judge Paul Abrams DENIED Phil Spector's "appeal of last resort" - Spector's "petition for writ of habeas corpus" filed in 2012 after the California Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court rejected his earlier appeals. http://www.scribd.com/doc/269847052/Federal-District-Court-Rejects-Phil-Spector-s-Federal-Court-Appeal-Report-and-Reccomendation-of-the-Magistrate-in-Phil-Spector-s-Federal-Petition-fo#scribd

UPDATE - On June 23, 2015 Judge Robert L. Hess of the Los Angeles County Superior Court DENIED Kelley Lynch's SECOND attempt to set aside Leonard Cohen's $7M judgment against her. This time Lynch supported her motion with at least three declarations that she forged the signatures of the "witness" on. When she got caught forging the signatures, she responded by claiming at first that the signatures were genuine, then she changed her story to Judge Hess to "I have written powers of attorney". But she FAILED TO PRODUCE those "written powers of attorney" to Judge Hess - who for obvious reasons did not believe her. After all, why would a witnesses bother to sign a "power of attorney" allowing Lynch to sign their names to a declaration, instead of simply signing the declaration itself? THEY WOUNDN'T. Lying liar caught lying AGAIN.

+Stephen Gianelli No declarations were forged. Stephen Gianelli is a criminal stalker with motive. He appears to be an unofficial member of Cohen and the Spector prosecution's legal teams. All declarations can be read at the below link. The witnesses themselves wrote the judge about these false allegations and their original signatures were presented to the court. I am in possession of the limited powers of attorney but it's unbelievable that anyone would hire this madman. A Petition was filed with Tax Court. My fee waiver was finally approved. An Opposition to Leonard Cohen's latest retaliatory legal document will be filed as will a motion to vacate the fraud domestic violence order; notice of appeal re. the unlawful sealing of documents and the order denying my Motion addressing fraud upon the court. A federal RICO suit will be filed as well. Stephen Gianelli is obviously moonlighting and part of his job involves an inconceivable obsession with me, my family, friends, and others.

Ann Diamond on Stephen Gianelli
When Stephen Gianelli’s emails land in my inbox, mostly out of the blue and unsolicited, they are so overflowing with repetitive accusations, misinformation, threats, self-aggrandizing boasts, undiluted rage, and general nastiness that it's next to impossible to read to the end of one of them. My impulse is always to ignore them and tell him to stop sending them. That he seems to have unlimited energy and endless time to go over all these details with someone he does not know in an attempt to win me over, while at the same time he constantly accuses me of having an ancient axe to grind with Cohen (i.e. I'm a hopeless case, as far as he's concerned, so he's barking furiously up the wrong tree), would under normal circumstances be a sign of mental imbalance.
He always throws in plenty of insults, false statements and fanciful deductions. His tone is that of a pitbull straining at the leash and gives me flashbacks of a courtroom where I’m being cross-examined by a vicious criminal lawyer whose whole strategy is to exhaust and terrorize the witness. Gianelli’s game is to complicate and obfuscate, mixing legal arguments with irrelevant nonsense. He seems to assume his opponent is stupid and weak and can be overwhelmed by a word-salad. I think some of this could be caused by his overuse of "copy and paste" -- he's in a hurry and not really writing "to me" or trying to make a persuasive argument. He doesnt reread his emails to see what kind of message they actually convey: that the writer is standing on some soapbox in his mind, shouting at the world, like certain mental patients you see walking the streets who seem to be mad at the air, the cars, the sidewalk.
He's obviously not interested in holding a discussion, getting to the truth, or looking beyond the various documents he "downloaded at his own expense" -- and as anyone with common sense knows, legal documents don't prove what really happened in 2004-5. They convey some of the evidence, all of it coming from one side.
Gianelli's explanation as to why he's been out to get Kelley Lynch since 2008, does not make sense either. He claims she slandered him and called him names on the internet, and in revenge he has totally immersed himself in her legal case. To the point of contacting her relatives and friends, spreading false stories about her, making up quotes, “writing her in jail”, posting photos of her residence and roommates on his blog – for the past seven years. Nobody in their right mind, let alone a 'successful trial lawyer' -- who has no material interest in this case, and is not a paid shill -- behaves like this. It's not just extremely unprofessional, it would land him on 'stress leave' or in serious trouble with his colleagues and peers if he were still practicing. Hiding behind the handle Blogonaut would not conceal his identity for long, especially not on the porous internet. His badly written and often illogical, emotional rants would embarrass and bring him close to professional suicide.
But apparently since he's retired, and apparently well-off, and lives in a comfortable tax haven on Crete, he doesn't seem to care and just indulges his childish fantasies and catty remarks with his tiny circle of cronies. It’s fairly obvious he uses alternate accounts and different IDs, e.g. “Mongochili,” to make it appear others read his blog and share his ‘obcession’ with Lynch. His sheer extremism indicates he is either a “rogue criminal lawyer” gone slightly postal, or a paid agent of Leonard Cohen and/or his legal team. I think the latter.
I think his over-the-top campaign will have the opposite effect than the one intended: it can only make people suspicious of the case against Kelley Lynch. Otherwise, why not let justice take its course? Why subject her to endless attacks over the internet if she has already been declared guilty? This kind of harassment resembles 'gang stalking' -- except that Gianelli seems to be both the leader and most of the membership of his own gang.
Gianelli is like no other email correspondent I have ever had. A single-paragraph response from my end always leads to a flood from his. Each exchange is like a trip down a rabbithole of irrational rage. Here and there he mixes in details and facts which might be worth discussing, if they weren’t drowned by high-volume invective. Of course this could be a tactic: if he really was ever a successful trial lawyer, it may have been by being an insufferable bully. Or maybe most of his cases involved low-life criminals or people with little or no education.
He claims to have accurately predicted the outcome of every Lynch hearing -- but then so could I. As we all know, cases are won on technicalities. That's one of the reasons, including the 10-year series of precedents, that I am not surprised the judge dismissed Kelley's motion.
If Gianelli were truly a respectable lawyer, he would restrict his comments to these legal matters, and not engage in bizarre slander and speculation. He would have no need to bring up my "past" - or a wacked version of it that sounds like it came from someone on Cohen's disinfo team. He draws from a psychological profile that is easily recognizable because I have heard it from other Cohen groupies. As someone who saw a bit too much when I knew Cohen, I’m no stranger to slander, I've written out my story on a public blog etc. where anyone can read what I have to say. Much of what I have written on Cohen was initially to defend myself against gossip and rumours that were circulated (and believed) by some of his friends. My side is completely different, much more detailed and accurate. It's also quite revealing of the life of a clever pop idol in our celebrity-worshiping culture. There's no point in my arguing with people who base their opinions on ridiculous myths, like the 'restraining order' that never was. Cohen's deceptive tactics have not really evolved in the past twenty years, since he used them on me.
I really don't care if Gianelli thinks I am a star-struck 'scorned woman' who never got over her passing encounter with greatness. This Mafia-style lawyer's fixed opinions, based on trashy clichés say much more about him than they do about me or my writing, or why I became interested in what really happened to Kelley Lynch.
And of course, no one would ever suspect Leonard Cohen of encouraging Gianelli. But in my experience, Gianelli is exactly the kind of human megaphone Cohen places in charge of his 'secret business.' Like other clowns from Cohen's private entourage that I have met over the years, he may not even realize he's being used because he is ridiculous and therefore disposable. It's a fascinating system that owes much to the criminal underworld that Leonard Cohen skirts with all the skill of someone born into it. I'm sure Gianelli feels at home, and knows his place, in that world where he acts the part of a useful idiot whose job is to create a circus atmosphere and put the audience into a deeper state of trance.
I am by now firmly convinced Lynch is a patsy/victim of a weird consortium of Cohen associates, clueless supporters, and Cohen himself. If I hadn't lived next door to Leonard Cohen, and witnessed similar dynamics twenty years ago, I might believe differently. But the essence of what happened to Kelley also happened to me, two decades ago, on a lesser scale with lower stakes. It was relatively easy for me to walk away from it back then – my reputation was damaged but my life was not utterly destroyed by my association with Leonard Cohen, as Kelley's was.
I empathize with her situation, and see it as just one more story of the corruption that is sinking the whole world. I know Leonard Cohen would agree with that. He would only disagree with the idea that we all have an obligation to oppose injustice, rather than 'let it go by' and even profit from it.

On December 2, 2014 And Diamond wrote me about Kelley Lynch saying "I don't have an opinion on her guilt or innocence."·
