Structure The Rules of Practice of the Court of Appeals apply to civil and noncapital criminal appeals, motions, criminal leave applications and certified questions from the Supreme Court of the United States, United States courts of appeal and state courts of last resort. The Court of Appeals recently rescinded in its entirety 22 NYCRR part 500 and approved a new part 500 which will be effective September 1, 2005. In addition to reflecting substantive changes and additions to the old Rules of Practice, the new Rules are organized into broad categories to eliminate duplication and provide a more logical sequence. New Rules 500.1 through 500.8 set out requirements applicable to all filings under these Rules. New Rules 500.9 through 500.19 relate to civil and noncapital criminal appeals. New Rule 500.20 contains procedures concerning criminal leave applications. Motions are addressed in new Rules 500.21 through 500.24. Orders to show cause, the Primary Election Session and certified questions are addressed in new Rules 500.25, 500.26 and 500.27, respectively. Finally, old Rule 500.13, relating to real property actions, was deleted as unnecessary. Page 3 2 B. General Requirements 500.1 General Requirements [Old Rule 500.1] New Rule 500.1 states the general requirements for papers submitted to the Court of Appeals. The Rule generally applies to "papers filed," which is defined in section 500.1(b) as all briefs, papers filed pursuant to sections 500.10 (Examination of Subject Matter Jurisdiction) and 500.11 (Alternative Procedure for Selected Appeals), motion papers and appendices.

I was shocked and wrote Kim Emmerling the DA advocate we had. She wrote me back that she was leaving that office. I had sent a request for the history of our meetings to her and internal affairs without any reply. Still with internal affairs knowing there was a cover up, proof of it, autopsy corruption along with a laundry list we have had zero help. We just want what the US Constitution says we have a right to. We wrote the attorney general office and gave all the documents. They wrote back that the DA office handles these complaints. There is no where to turn. Nye and Lee Frank both over 65 years old. Adult protective services have been contacted without ever contacting us or even replying to our request. Now the victim has the attacker building a home two doors away. We need help. The following is a letter I wrote the internal Affairshttp://tinyurl.com/4vq2k2pictures pictures of Nye Frank and Ty Reddish. Sheriff and DA office falsely told family that coroner reported heart attack and no injuries. The video of Ty Reddish shows him bending down to avoid being recorded and telling officers how he strangled 68 year old Nye Frank with wrestling moves. The officers laugh, as they are buddies of the Reddish family friends. They did not do a drug test on Ty while on probation for dui and had past drug use, and victim said looked like on drugs.

Department of Justice guidelines state that "A law enforcement agency clears a crime by exceptional means when elements beyond its control prevent the placing of formal charges against the offender

Riverside DA office kept saying Nye had a heart attack and no injuries. They originally refused to release the sheriff report and autopsy. They said Lee Frank just imagined that Ty was beating him up for such a long time. The prosecutor Daiama Calhoun said she did not care what the autopsy showed she made up her mind. Mike Rushton her manager sealed the autopsy xrays and lab to prevent the family access to them. He claimed privacy. Imagine he is a judge now. See my letters to the DA victim advocate Kim Emmerling. Mike finally admitted Nye was strangled. But he was so confident in his ability to block Lee Frank from Justice he did not care.

Case management is a top priority in the Board of Supervisors approved strategic plan for senior services. Hiring of new case management staff in the Office on Aging is always contingent upon available grant funds from the Older Americans Act and the Older Californians Act. Additional social work case managers will be needed for some time as the senior population ages. Recent increases in Older Americans Act funding will support the creation of two additional social work positions. These positions are being filled. A third social work case manager will be hired on a temporary basis using one year planning grant funds recently approiied by the CA. Dept of Health Services to test a new integrated case management model in partnership with the RCRMC and other community agencies in Riverside County. That position will become permanent if Older Americans Act or Older Californians Act funding is available when the planning grant ends (June 03).

The three CTSA's (Coordinated Transportation Service Agencies) are mandated under federal and state law to develop and implement transportation plans for Riverside County. The Office on Aging conducts community needs assessments and public hearings on the transportation needs of seniors and adults with disabilities, and makes this information available to the CTSAs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 4 Response to Grand Jury Report Page 3 * - - . The Advisory Council on Aging recently held a public forum on transportation issues affecting seniors and adults with disabilities in Riverside County, and heard extensive testimony from providers and consumers on current transportation programs and resources, and unmet transportation needs. This information was disseminated widely, and also provided a basis for advocating for improved transportation services for seniors and adults with disabilities in the plan that is developed and implemented by the CTSAs. Recommendation #3: Riverside County Transit Authority provides benches, route maps and bus schedules at all public bus stops. Office on Aging agrees with the finding, but has no direct control over Riverside County Transit Authority. This recommendation will be shared with the Advisory Council on Aging to be included in their advocacy efforts for improved and expanded transportation. The Council will ask RCTA to make improvements at bus stops. Recommendation #4: RCOOA immediately hire a minimum of three additional case managers to meet current and expected workloads. The recommendation will be fully implemented within the next 60 days. Case management is a top priority in the Board of Supervisors approved strategic plan for senior services.
