Welcome to my litigation files. Here, broken into Sections, I will provide a very detailed accounting of the federal and state court cases I have been pursuing in my fight to recover not only my rights as a widow to what Biker had worked so hard to accomplish in licensed cannabis, but to restore his good name as well. As you will see as you read these case files, I will make personal comments in certain links, adjacent to that link in italics, which describe my experiences at the time of that filing. I can honestly say that the state and federal courts have only served to compound the pressures on me and my family by ignoring the most basic element of my case. Criminals who do not qualify for these cannabis licenses are not, by law, allowed to use others to apply for the licenses on their behalf! There are absolute applicant disclosure laws being ignored by everyone from applicants, the lobbyists, attorneys, consultants and even yes, the judiciary! Had these laws been followed my husband would likely still be with us today because it was the criminals, who used him as a proxy on these applications that he ran afoul of when he would not relinquish the licenses over to them after he had successfully acquired them. These people demanded Biker hand over his license rights to them for no compensation whatsoever! They were stealing his dreams and everything he had worked so hard for! It’s no wonder he was stressed out! But did he commit suicide? That is not so clear cut anymore. I have a 3rd party forensics expert Scott Roder, who examined the physical evidence and he believes, with 100% certainty, that Biker did not die of a suicide. See the Roder Video. See the Roder Report.
What I want the reader to understand is that Biker’s death was the beginning of my nightmare. When I learned what these so called “partners” of his did, I sued them. That is where this section begins. The courts have refused to address my demand that they enforce the law that requires these disclosures. They ignore me and my attorney. They grant the defendants’ requests for damages with Anti-SLAPP awards. The courts are literally persecuting me for trying to get them to enforce the laws. I will be updating this page regularly to show the latest developments in these cases. While my opponents would like that I give up and just go away I will not. The law is clear. The evidence is clear. It is here for all to see.
All links are a matter of public record as conformed copies of court docket filings. I will always file them in chronological (year/month/date) order. There may be some Register of Action (ROA) for state and Electronic Case Files (ECF) for federal numbers at the back end of the link but that is the courts ordering of the documents. Any link that begins with COA means that is a Court of Appeals matter stemming from the lower court case. Any link that begins with SC means that the link is a Supreme Court matter stemming from the lower court case. When these documents are used as reference in any future litigation I must refer to the court number so the document can be authenticated by that ROA or ECF number.
Section 1: US District Court – SHERLOCK ET AL v RAZUKI ET AL, Case No. 20CV0656 JLS LL
When I decided to move forward with legal representation I decided to reach out to Attorney Andrew Flores. Andrew had already had approximately 3500 hours of research into the COTTON v GERACI case which is related to mine. Andrew knew what was happening in this sham COTTON v GERACI lawsuit. He eventually decided that when the offer came to purchase the Cotton property and take on those forces that had conspired not only against Cotton but Flores as the new property owner, he had already decided to file this federal complaint stemming from his civil rights violations. When Flores became aware of what had happened to me, Biker and our two minor sons and that many of the same defendants, both in government and private enterprise had conspired against us to rob us of our rights in the mad dash to monopolize cannabis licensing I knew that I was in good hands. Sadly, as of January 2023 I am forced to have to take my arguments up to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals because the federal court dismissed my case for a “failure to prosecute.” Like can be seen throughout ALL my cases, both federal and state, the case dispositive issue has always been that the defendants have violated the laws and my civil rights by failing to disclose the license applicants who, because of their past criminal activities, would not have qualified for, or had been granted a cannabis license, if they had not hid behind the identity of someone, such as Biker, who did manage to get the license to operate a cannabis dispensary. The absolute irony of all of this is it is a VERY SIMPLE MATTER OF LAW that needs to be decided here and in the following state court cases but in every single instance the judges refuse to address this issue.

Section 2: BRADFORD HARCOURT ET AL v SALAM RAZUKI ET AL – PLAINTIFF-INTERVENOR: AMY SHERLOCK, Case No. 37-2017-00020661-CU-BC-CTL
Little did I know that when I started looking into the events that surrounded Biker’s death I would come to learn of a lawsuit that Biker’s old business partner, Brad Harcourt was having with several defendants who I also found out were involved with the 8863 Balboa Avenue dispensary that Biker had gotten the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for several months prior to his “suicide.” I had come to find out that there had been a forged signature of Biker’s that, 18 days after his death, transferred his rights to the business he shared with Harcourt. I obviously wanted to intervene in this case over that information I possessed but I later came to find out that one of the defendants, Salam Razuki, who I came to believe was also an undisclosed investor in Biker’s CUP application, was indicted for conspiracy to commit murder and tried and convicted in federal court. That case stems from Razuki attempting to kidnap and murder his partner at the 8863 dispensary that Biker had originally gotten licensed! [links]

Why is this case important to me? Well it involves the 8863 property and it’s being in a receivership until the lawsuit is fully adjudicated. There is was an interlocutory appeal filed on January 11, 2019 and decided on February 24, 2021. After the appeal was settled, I filed a Motion to Intervene on April 5, 2021. Like in the Harcourt v Razuki litigation (Section 2) that request was also denied.

Section 6: SHERLOCK ET AL v GERACI ET AL, CASE NO. 37-2021-00050889-CU-AT-CTL
The Defendant Parties and the Causes of Action in the state case have been expanded in this case as we learned more in the 1-1/2 years prior to filing this case of the anti-trust law violations not brought forth in the federal complaint. What is astonishing in both of these cases is that the very foundation of these complaints begins with violations of the non-disclosure laws. When one considers just how many times the courts refused to even consider these foundational arguments and instead continued the process that, as can be seen here, would require hundreds of motions, appeals and the shear waste of the courts, my time and my money, it is absolutely bewildering how this can occur in our judiciary! It’s not right and it’s not fair! I will not stop! I will keep coming!

Section 8: LOUIS ET AL v. AUSTIN LEGAL GROUP, KNOPF, ET AL – Case No. 37-2023-00015974-CU-CO-CTL
23/04/17: Complaint_(ROA-1)
Para 14-21: Brad Talbert acts as a RE Broker for both the buyer and the seller (Rickards). Talbert had Rickards tying up the property for 15 years or until he was 91. Rickards has no heirs.
Para 41: “…GSG backdates an assignment agreement to be in compliance with BCC… Also, GSG PL, Inc.’s tried to use a shell company, LCR 3452-3460 Hancock, LLC, that was only incorporated in Delaware on April 26, 2019, as it’s source of funds and delaying the closing of Escrow while it satisfied its third- party funder with the results of the Phase 2 soil report that could have been obtained months earlier.
Para 46-48: “GSG’s Escrow was fraudulent…Knopf and GSG have refused to supply their financial statements, as required under section 16(c) of the Lease, to Louis and Rickards, among others. Anderson (an ALG attorney) indicated by email to Louis that GSG would never disclose its financial statements, despite the clear requirements of section 16(c) of the Lease.
Para 67: “The Bureau of Cannabis Control (BCC), California sent a letter (Exhibit “H”) to the Defendant wherein it wasn’t satisfied with Defendant’s use of the term “or assignee”, and thus it didn’t consider that term to be a “simple placeholder” for use by GSGCC, GSG PL, Inc., or Knopf, so the BCC required a copy of the formal assignment of the Lease (Exhibit “B), signed on November 7, 2018, and backdated to January 1, 2018, and the BCC made clear that it considered the “or assignee”, claim to be of no consequence or effect.
Para 69: “…Plaintiff has made it clear to defendant that his property and or lease is for sale and that plaintiff’s real estate broker holds the exclusive right to sell the property and/or lease. however, defendant has failed to provide the most recent 3 years of its financial statement per §16.(c) of the lease despite receiving a written demand (exhibit “i”) and because the defendant is a potential buyer that makes its financial statements relevant to its purchase and the potential for securing backup offers that the plaintiff seeks to ensure the sale of its property in the event that escrow doesn’t close. the defendant’s bad faith was demonstrated by its presentation of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA exhibit “j”) that required a potential buyer to accept all the claims that were made in the now dismissed complaint filed by the defendant against the plaintiff. defendant refused to supply its financial statements to oak holdings with whom they were trying to negotiate a sale with leaseback to enable them to continue lease the property when they refused to comply with oak holdings NDA that required financial statements that the defendant also has repeatedly refused to provide under §16.(c) of the lease. on April 3, 2019, during a phone call, defendant’s attorney, Arden E. Anderson, told plaintiff’s attorney that GSG PL Inc. was loath to ever disclose its financial statements, well then, the defendant shouldn’t have signed a lease with that requirement which was negotiated by the real estate broker who represented them in the acquiring the lease they agreed to.”
Para 70: “Defendant’s actions have demonstrated that they will do anything to obstruct the sale of the Plaintiff’s property to a third party without regard to whether it’s consistent with the terms of the Lease and despite the Lessee’s failure to comply with the terms of the Lease ‘s §16.(c), the Estoppel provision.
Para 76: “…However, it now appears that the Buyer of the property is entity that was named as the Assignee and that’s an act by the Defendant in concert with the Buyer that’s a civil unjust enrichment / conspiracy to defraud the Defendant and delayed the closing of Escrow that resulted in the Plaintiff loss of the Time Value of Money (TVM) and an intentional infliction of emotional distress to both the Plaintiff and Plaintiff’s attorney.”
Para 80: “Defendant KNOPF’S failure to comply with many of the Lease terms as described above in sufficient detail shows a repeated pattern of the Defendant’s willful ignoring of its obligations under the Lease from its very inception on April 17, 2014, through the present and makes it abundantly obvious that the Defendant made false promises and never intended to fulfill his part of the bargain at the time he entered into the Lease.
Para 82-83: “…Also, GSG PL, Inc.’s trying to use a shell company, LCR 3452-3460 Hancock, LLC, that was only incorporated in Delaware on April 26, 2019, as it’s source of funds and delaying the closing of Escrow while it satisfied its third-party funder with the results of the Phase 2 soil report that could have been obtained months earlier. Defendant’s attorney, Arden E. Anderson, told me that GSG PL, Inc. was loath to ever disclose its financial statements, well then, the Defendant shouldn’t have signed a Lease with that requirement which was negotiated by the real estate broker who represented them in the acquiring the Lease they agreed to.
Para 86: “Defendant Rickards and MW, didn’t pay attorney fees when the Lessee filed a Complaint against the Plaintiff and although the Complaint was dismissed without prejudice after Escrow was opened and the lis pendens removed during the pendency of the Escrow the threat of the Defendant KNOPF refiling its Complaint was a great discouragement to prospective purchasers of Plaintiff’s property because a refiling of the Complaint would have tied the property up in litigation for years despite that Defendant was in breach of the Lease and made it very difficult to get backup offers in case the Buyer didn’t close Escrow.
Para 91: “Filing of a frivolous lawsuit by Defendants Knopf, and GSG PL, Inc. against Rickards in order to bully him into submission, and was acting in bad faith, because its options cannot be exercised while it is in default of the Lease, as described above, under §39.4(a) and its subsections. Defendant tried to force Rickards to accept his improper demands because he knew that Rickards couldn’t afford to defend the lawsuit and thereby would lose by default because he couldn’t finance a defense that was caused by the Defendant’s breach of §52. of the Lease is an intentional infliction of extreme emotional distress on Plaintiff and TPB. Defendant’s filing of its Complaint under these circumstances effectively coerced Rickards into agreeing to the sale of his property to the Defendant for less that its true worth as a legal dispensary of medical and adult recreational marijuana because, as stated above, he couldn’t afford to finance a defense of the Defendant’s Complaint because Rickards believed that agreeing to the sale was the only way for him to get the Defendant to dismiss its Complaint, so that he wouldn’t lose his rights under the Lease by default.
Para 111: “During the time the buyer needs to secure its own Conditional Use Permit (CUP). The City of San Diego’s CUPs for cannabis dispensaries are not transferable to a new buyer of a dispensary nor do they run with a dispensary property. A new owner operator needs to obtain their own CUP and new BCC permit, the new owner would enjoy the benefit of the Lease payment(s). The new application for a CUP at the property can be applied for while the dispensary is still being operated by the Defendant. After obtaining its permits to operate the dispensary, the new owner can evict the Defendant who is in a noncurable default of the Lease and the new owner could resume the operation of a dispensary on the property with a minimal disruption to its operation. In any case, since the Defendant has lost its options to renew the Lease as well as its right to occupy the property under the existing Lease that ends on April 17, 2020, that would allow the new owner to evict the Lessee and take possession of the property…”

23/04/17: Affidavit Other Declaration Statement (ROA-3)
23/08/14: Request for Dismissal (ROA-22)
23/10/04: Louis’s FAC ROA-28 Drops ALG, Knopf and others as defendants. No longer is self represented. He hires Robert Bryson who admits to being incompetent in this Declaration when he represented Darryl Cotton in a cannabis related case that would have seen him lose his commercial property.
Section 9: BROWN v. KNOPF ET AL
17/07/11: BROWN v. KNOPF ET AL_Complaint_(ROA-1)
Para 8: “Plaintiff is informed and believes and based thereon alleges that at all times mentioned herein there existed a unity and identity of interest and ownership between all Defendants, such that any individuality and separateness between them have ceased. Each of the defendants is the alter ego of the other in that, inter alia, each is or was composed of the same or practically the same principals, the assets of the entities have been transferred and combined between the entities, and they carry on the same business.
Para 9: “Plaintiff is also informed and believes and based thereon alleges that adherence to the fiction of the separate existence of the defendants as distinct from one another would permit an abuse of the corporate privilege and would promote injustice in that it would permit these entities to evade their legal obligations.”
Para 10: “The individual defendants, Defendants, Henkes, Knopf, and Rising are personally liable for some, or all, of the claims alleged in this Complaint…”
Para 12: “Within the four (4) years immediately preceding the filing of this Complaint and at all relevant times, Plaintiff was employed by Defendants…”
Para 44: “Defendants have also engaged in “unfair” business acts or practices in that the harm caused by Defendants’ wrongful conduct alleged above outweighs the utility of such conduct and such conduct offends public policy, is immoral, unscrupulous, unethical, deceitful and offensive, causes substantial injury to Plaintiff and provides Defendants with an unfair competitive advantage over those employers that abide by the law…”
Section 10: OMARI BOBO v. PLPCC ET AL – Case No. 37-2017-00037348-CU-PO-CTL
17/10/06: Complaint_(ROA-1)
Para 2: “If Plaintiff is a member of the “Patients’ Consumer Cooperative Corporation” (PLPCC) why hasn’t he received any dividends? Where is all the money going? And would it be illegal to buy medical marijuana through a for-profit dispensary?”
Para 3: “Plaintiff learned that the Individual Defendants personally own and control not only the PLPCC, but five Shell Companies. These Shell Companies were created by the Individual Defendants within months after the PLPCC was formed in December 2014, and as the PLPCC’s marijuana business expanded. The Shell Companies have no public or visible business presence, except at the PLPCC’s location and the mailing address listed at Defendant Henkes’ accountancy office in La Jolla California.
Para 4: “Defendant Knopf is a director, and holds the executive offices at the PLPCC and each of the Shell Companies. Defendant Henkes is an accountant. He serves as the PLPCC’s Chief Financial Officer and the Shell Companies’ agent for service. Mr. Henkes appears to represent a single enterprise – the PLPCC and the Shell Companies, since he does not visibly advertise his availability for hire.”
Para 5: “It became clear based on these facts and others described in a related class action complaint against Defendants and the Shell Companies, BECK v. POINT LOMA PATIENTS’ CONSUMER COOPERATIVE CORPORATION, et al, which Plaintiff incorporates by reference, that Defendants were and are operating an illegal for-profit medical marijuana business that violates California criminal law and puts Plaintiff in potential legal jeopardy.”
Para 31: “Despite its huge revenues relative to such a small operation, the PLPCC has never made a “patronage distribution” to Plaintiff or any other member of the PLPCC. Nor does the PLPCC seek or allow participation by Plaintiff or any other member patron in the operation or governance of the cooperative.”
Para 32: “Instead, based on the above and on information and belief, the Individual Defendants use the Shell Companies as entities contracted by the PLPCC to unlawfully divert funds out of the PLPCC. This allows the Individual Defendants to hide substantial revenues from the (illegal for-profit) sale of medical marijuana in the Shell Companies, avoid showing a profit in the cooperative itself, and avoid paying out patronage distributions.”
Para 36: “The Individual Defendants and the Shell Companies are responsible for the harm to Plaintiff because each of them agreed to conceal operation of a for-profit marijuana business.”
Para 37: “The Individual Defendants, themselves, and as owners and operators of the Shell Companies were aware of the requirements of California’s medical marijuana laws, and were in agreement with the PLPCC and each other to divert revenues from the PLPCC in a manner calculated to avoid detection of their for-profit enterprise.”
Para 42: “The Individual Defendants govern the PLPCC, as well as the Shell Companies, such that a unity of ownership exists between them. The Shell Companies and the PLPCC use the same officers and/or employees of their medical marijuana business. Thus the Shell Corporations and the PLPCC are mere conduits for the affairs of each other.”
Para 53: “Given the considerable criminal risks from engaging in illegal drug sales, Defendants’ complete disregard for the legal wellbeing of Plaintiff and other members of the PLPCCC is outrageous. Defendant’s illegal for-profit enterprise, and subsequent attempt to conceal it, is so extreme it exceeds all bounds of legal behavior tolerated by the State of California and puts Plaintiff at risk of legal jeopardy, despite his best attempts to act in compliance with the law.”

The biggest takeaway I have from this is all the other shady DSD processes were done by Firouzeh Tirandazi and Edith Gutierrez. Here they have a new player for this invoice, Jacqueline Beavers who no doubt did as she was told. Proof positive that Gutierrez and Tirandazi have been involved in illegal CUP processing within the City of San Diego Development Services Department.

What transpired that made him take such an abrupt turn in his life?

What happened to Mark Cooper that made his series of DUI’s and license revocation change who he was for most of his life? For that I propose we look at what may have been a long, underlying source of regret by Dr. Cooper in which he may have provided cover with his CTE diagnosis to what he came to find out was actually a murder.

23/01/10: Sherlock Attorney Flores’s Multiple Parties Demand Letter
23/01/17: Department of Cannabis Control (DCC) Reply to Flores’s Demand Letter
23/01/18: Flores to DCC Reply Letter
In addition to the email exchange that went on between Flores and multiple parties re the disclosure laws, which are meant to be enforced, not disregarded, by these agencies, most notably the DCC, we can see Amy Sherlock’s FOIA request to DCC re the Ramona Street property @
22-08-15-Amy-Sherlock-DCC-FOIA-request_1210-Olive-Street-Ramona_Redacted.pdf
As can be seen by the DCC reply, Amy was promised, by the unidentified staff member @ DCC, Legal Affairs Division, the requested information within 120 days. DCC has failed their ministerial duties to provide Amy with ANY of the requested information. On the other hand, we see that the DCC, Legal Affairs Division, can be quite responsive to FOIA requests when that request does not involve an attorney Andrew Flores-Amy Sherlock matter. Here, you can see how identified staff-Lullette McManus @ DCC-responds to Mr. Dan Tudor’s FOIA request within just 60 days [emphasis in orginal]. Most notable in their responses, is that the mandatory disclosure language Flores was seeking confirmation of in his correspondence with DCC, is addressed in DCC application forms. (Below both BCC and DCC are being used interchangeably)

Pages 20-26: requires existing and new ownership disclosures. Of particular note, on page 24, DCC has redacted the ownership percentage required for mandatory disclosure. Was this absence of the specific percentage allowed a deliberate obfuscation, as this information is published numerous places in DCC forms. On page 26, DCC has also redacted the legally mandated maximum percentage of financial interest/ownership that may be transferred WITHOUT disclosure. This can be found in an email communication that occurred with Mr. Greg Donkerbrook, in DCC’s License Modification Unit sent to MOM USA LLC Chief Legal Officer, Mr. Mark Cordona. Why did DCC redact the ownership percentage values in the documents they provided under the FOIA request when the 20% or greater value is established law under Business and Professions Code §§ 26038 and 26057?
Page 30: DCC form Section A requires ownership percentage. Section B is the Sanctions Declaration re unauthorized commercial activities.
Page 31: Mandatory Submission
“Submission of the requested information is mandatory unless otherwise noted on the application. The Bureau of Cannabis Control (Bureau) will use the provided information to determine qualification for licensure, per section 26051.5 of the Business and Professions Code and the Information Practices Act. Failure to provide any of the requested information will result in the application being deemed incomplete by the Bureau. The Bureau will also use this information to enforce licensing standards set by law and regulation, update and maintain current licensee information, and for mailing purposes.”
Financial Information
“To ensure accountability and preserve the State’s ability to adequately enforce against all responsible parties, the Bureau is authorized to collect detailed information regarding individuals with a “financial interest” in the commercial cannabis operation under section 26051.5 of the Business and Professions Code. “Persons with a financial interest” means an investment into a cannabis business, a loan provided to a cannabis business, or any other equity in a cannabis business that is not qualified as an owner. It does not include persons whose only interest in a licensee is an interest in a diversified mutual fund, blind trust, or similar instrument. The applicant must provide the following information for all non-owners with a financial interest: their name, date of birth, and type of government issued identification and identification number.”
Page 33: Public Information
“The Bureau makes every effort to protect the personal information provided by license applicants. Application information may be disclosed, however, as permitted in response to a California Public Records Act request (Government Code section 6250 et seq.), as permitted by the Information Practices Act (Civil Code section 1798 et seq.), to another government agency as required by state or federal law, in response to a court or administrative order, a subpoena, or a search warrant. Pursuant to the California Public Records Act (Title 1, Division 7, Chapter 3.5, Government Code sections 6250-6277), on request, the Bureau discloses licensee information including, but not limited to:
• Name
• Mailing address
• License number
• License status
• Original license issue date
• Last license renewal date
• License expiration date
• Disciplinary action
• Copy of license renewal applications
• Copy of license application (excluding personal information such as birth date and social security number)”
Razuki, Malan and Geraci have all admitted, UNDER OATH, to knowingly and unlawfully failing to disclose their ownership interests in numerous cannabis dispensaries. Razuki actually ACKNOWLEDGES that they engage in the strawman/”proxy” practice to own undisclosed interests in licensed cannabis businesses. This failure to fulfill these disclosure requirements, and having instead knowingly engaged in the proxy practice, means none of these individuals should be able to hold an adult-use cannabis license. Sadly, to date, neither the DCC, nor any court, has not seen fit to enforce these laws evenly. Despite both federal and state Constitutions’ mandating that all citizens receive equal protection of the law, in re: Amy Sherlock, the DCC and the California’s Judiciary have egregiously, blatantly and wrongfully, disregarded and deliberately trampled (see anti-SLAPPs) on her rights!
(See pg’s 5;22-7;8 “on paper” statements @ https://www.justice4amy.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/18-07-10_RAZUKI-v-MALAN-ET-AL-Complaint_ROA-1.pdf )

Q: OK so Dan Tudor got a response to a FOIA request and Amy did not. Why is this dispositive information one might ask?
A: Despite the fact that there is undisputable evidence that the DCC is subject to mandatory, not permissive language. (Contrary to what attorney Gina Austin would have the courts believe on one day and not believe on an another) the language says “shall” there can be no question this is mandatory. Mr. Dan Tudor, a concerned citizen, submitted a FOIA request to determine if Mr. Helios Dayspring (a convicted felon for illegal cannabis activities) had any undisclosed interests in any of the entities listed in his request. As can be seen by the information DCC provided, Mr. Dayspring’s name appears on several of the unredacted documents. Mr. Dayspring stated in a sworn declaration, (which interestingly enough shows the unredacted ownership percentages/financial interests) for which he had provided financing to, amongst others, MOM USA LLC. Helios further, explicitly states that he had disclosed his cannabis related crimes during the application process and was denied based upon him having committed those crimes. Is there any wonder criminals like Razuki, Malan and Geraci would, knowing the purported potential consequences, would engage in the strawman/”proxy” practice to circumvent the legal requirements to even apply for such a license?
Helios Declaration, Pg. 2;13-27 @ https://151farmers.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Case-21CV-0734-Declaration_Dayspring_Megans-Organic-Market-vs-City-of-SLO.pdf
One might surmise that DCC responded to the Tudor FOIA request and not Sherlock’s request because, unlike in what has happened to Amy Sherlock in San Diego, there WAS significant media coverage surrounding these Helios’ unlawful activities. Until very recently, Amy Sherlock wanted to remain publicly silent about what had happened to her. She wanted the court documents to speak for themselves. That is no longer the case! Having exhausted all other avenues Amy is now forced to seek redress of here grievances which include now doing interviews to expose the corruption that has influenced San Diego adult-use cannabis licensing. In this link we can hear her first interview on Debbie Peterson’s Corruption Chronicles, co-hosted by Darryl Cotton, podcast series in Corruption Chronicles, Canna-Greed Series EP-1 @
Canna-Greed EP-1 with Amy Sherlock
As a former mayor of Grover Beach, CA, Debbie Peterson penned “The Happiest Corruption” as an insider expose into what takes place in local politics corruption and the cannabis pay-to-play environment that she personally witnessed during her tenure as mayor.
It is literally, in the first three pages of her book, that Ms. Peterson describes the cannabis-cabal that infiltrated her city and turned it into one where “the press and the public bought into the repeated lies of the con-men, the cabal co-opted whole city councils, county departments, and businesses with threats and promises: both of which were delivered on.” (See The Happiest Corruption @ Page 1 ¶ 4)
Which leads us back to the media coverage surrounding convicted cannabis felon, Helios Dayspring and his activities which, as it relates to Amy’s matters, show “selective processing” of the applications required to secure these adult-use cannabis licenses.
“In recent filings made as part of the litigation between his former company, Natural Healing Center, and the city of SLO, Dayspring alleged that he personally helped bankroll the city’s other two cannabis dispensaries—signing loan agreements with Megan’s Organic Market (MOM) for $800,000, and SLOCal Roots for $1 million in early 2019.” https://www.newtimesslo.com/news/dayspring-claims-he-bankrolled-other-slo-cannabis-dispensaries-companies-and-city-push-back-12792214
“Dayspring, a local marijuana mogul, transferred ownership of his retail cannabis shops to his girlfriend Valnette Garcia in 2020, before he pled guilty to tax fraud and bribery charges. In Oct. 2021, city staff canceled approval for the Natural Healing Center cannabis shop because Dayspring had not disclosed the bribery or the fraud during the application process.” https://calcoastnews.com/2023/02/judge-rejects-daysprings-pot-shop-suit-against-slo/
“As part of his plea in October 2021, Dayspring admitted to giving the late San Luis Obispo County District 3 Supervisor Adam Hill $32,000 in cash, money orders, cannabis products, and meals in exchange for votes that would favor Dayspring’s cannabis businesses. In May 2022, a judge sentenced him to 22 months in prison.” https://www.ksby.com/news/local-news/dispensary-founder-who-bribed-public-official-transferred-out-of-prison
What we are left to consider is not only how Razuki and Malan can engage in owning and operating adult-use cannabis dispensaries but how is it that the lax, or better put, “selective enforcement” of the disclosure laws, could cost Helios Dayspring licensing opportunities in SLO by admitting in the licensing application he had engaged in criminal cannabis activities and neither Razuki or Malan do not disclose Razuki having been previously sanctioned for illegal cannabis activities but, even when this information is provided to the courts and DCC, Razuki is allowed to maintain those greater than 20% interests? Indeed, after 6 years of litigation, this case is scheduled to go to a jury trial to decide which of these two criminals get Amy Sherlock’s dispensary and the profits derived from its operation.
