UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA SAN JOSE DIVISION

CHIN-LI MOU, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF SAN JOSE, SAN JOSE PUBLIC LIBRARY EDUCATION PARK BRANCH, and DOES, inclusive, Defendants.

Case Number: C07-05740 JF DEFENDANT'S RESPONSE TO PLAINTIFF'S COMMUNICATION TO THE COURT

This pleading is being provided pursuant to the court's recent order dated April 26, 2010. As a continuing and never ending attempt to escape responsibility, Plaintiff Mou has again communicated unilaterally with the court and apparently providing the court "a copy of her 2009 federal income tax return" in an attempt to again argue that she is too indigent to repay the taxpayers of Defendant City of San Jose the costs of her pursuing her claim. I would request the court to review the initial complaint and its alleged allegations to understand the reason for Defendant strongly objecting to any reduction of the taxed costs which truly represent a minimal amount of accountability.

As a practical matter, Defendant City of San Jose has not had an opportunity to review the documents submitted to the court because Ms. Mou chose not to share those documents with Defendant. If the court is even remotely reconsidering its position on Ms. Mou's accountability for the taxed costs, Defendant would first request that they be provided a copy of the income tax return and also be allowed a debtor's deposition examination (under oath) of Ms. Mou. After such examination, Defendants would be in a better position to argue Plaintiff's alleged financial inability to pay over time the minimal amount of $1,029.90. As previously stated, public records indicate, at a minimum, Plaintiff is owner of real property within the County of Santa Clara valued at approximately $250,000. Ms. Mou has expressly attempted to manipulate police officers, library staff and counsel for Defendant in this matter. A further examination of Ms. Mou's current claim of indigency certainly merits further examination as requested by Defendant.

Respectfully submitted, RICHARD DOYLE, City Attorney
