California Bar to Investigate Spouse of Yolo County Superior Court Judge David Reed

The State Bar of California --  the regulatory agency for California's lawyers -- is set to investigate attorney Sheryl Ann Cambron -- who is presently married to Yolo County Superior Court judge David Reed.

According to a complaint submitted to the bar, Sheril Cambron engaged in gross acts of misconduct involving fraud, misrepresentation, deceit, and deceiving the public in areas dealing with her place of employment and her relationship to her husband -- Yolo County Superior Court Judge David Reed -- so as to allow litigants the opportunity to seek disqualification of her husband (through either peremptory or for cause challenges).

The complaint alleges that Cambron is a 1999 graduate of Lincoln Law School in Sacramento.  She is currently employed as an attorney by the County of Yolo, and is highly involved with entities known as Davis Odd Fellows/Davis Rebekah Lodge, which are  located in Yolo County in the city of Davis.

Ms. Cambron is married to her former law partner David Reed ("Reed"), who presently served as a judge with the Yolo County Superior Court. 
Reed and Cambron, together with Yolo County Superior Court Judge David Rosenberg (and his wife Lea Rosenberg), have been extensively involved with Davis Odd Fellows for many years, while in the process committing income tax fraud in order to mislead the IRS and the public, conspiring to refuse a request to share with me their IRS returns as mandated by IRS rules and regulations, as well as accepting donations from suspect entities such as Yocha Dehe Wintun Nations -- the native American tribe which owns and operates Cache Creek Casino.  (See http://davislodge.org/breakfast-with-santa-delivers-lots-of-fun/ )  

Most, if not all, of the financial proceeds of David Odd Fellows goes to support "Emancipated Foster Youth," in part, through a separate non-profit entity headed by David Rosenberg and his Judicial Campaign CPA, Victor Bucher (aka Vic Bucher).

MISCONDUCT BY CAMBRON:

I.  Fraud and deceit in connection with Cambron's marital and employment status.

Any member of the public who researches the background of Judge David Reed will be hard pressed to ascertain that he is married to Cheryl Cambron.  For example, in the tens of articles published by Davis Odd Fellows/Davis Rebekah Lodge (or about the activities of Davis Odd Fellows by outside publications such as the Davis Enterprise), the fact that Reed and Cambron are actually married to each other is not mentioned.

Moreover, even in official returns submitted to the IRS during the time David Reed and Sheryl Cambron served concurrently as president and Treasurer of Davis Odd Fellows, a representation was made that they are not married to each other.  (See attached Exhibit 1 -- 2010 IRS Form 990: ‘Did any officer, director, trustee, or key employee have a family relationship or a business relationship with any other officer, director, trustee, or key employee?’ The form submitted by Davis Odd Fellows states, ‘NO.’) Since two of the officers (Reed and Cambron) were actually married to each other, this is a misrepresentation to the IRS.

The misconduct by Reed/Cambron did not end by just misleading the IRS and the public through the filing of inaccurate tax returns and the hiding from the public that they are married to each other.  It appears that Cambron and Reed may have also conspired with each other to mislead the public as to the fact that Ms. Cambron is employed as an attorney by the County of Yolo.
Indeed, it took the undersigned months of research into the background of Judge David Rosenberg to ascertain the extensive involvement of Judge Rosenberg (and his wife Lea Rosenberg) with various non-profit entities, which then led to Judge David Reed, which then led to Cambron, which ultimately led to the facts that Cambron is the wife of Reed, and is otherwise employed as an attorney by Yolo County.

Despite the fact that Ms. Cambron is employed by the Yolo County,  legal web-sites misrepresent her employment status.  Most, if not all, of those web-sites state that Sheryl Cambron is in fact in private practice representing litigants in matter dealing with bankruptcies, family law, and criminal law.

The above examples, attached as exhibits, are part of a scheme devised by the Reed and Cambron to mislead the public into believing that Cambron is in private practice, and not an employee of Yolo County, which then affords Judge Reed the opportunity to rule against litigants in matters dealing with, for example, unlawful searches and seizures, ipso facto absolving the county from civil liability while at the same time not disclosing the existence of a conflict of interest based on his wife's employment with the County.
