Code §§ 801.5, 803, subd. (c), 803.5) It is further alleged that the offenses described in all Counts except Counts 23 through 34, 21 51 through 56, 123 through 132, 163 through 172, and 221 through 234, were not discovered 22 until December 15, 2010. On April 19, 2005, Nancy Zelepsky inherited 261 Tognazzini Avenue, 23 24 Guadalupe, CA in the County of Santa Barbara from her longtime companion Donald Prestridge after his having passed away in 2003. In early December 2010, Zelepsky contacted a local title company to ask about getting a loan on the property. The title company informed her that 25 “Sandra Barton” was listed as the record owner of her residence. The court had quieted title in 26 SANDRA on July 7, 2010. At the time, SANDRA’s attorney was MORTENSEN with the Fresno 27 law firm of Lozano Smith. Until early December 2010, Zelepsky lacked any knowledge of 28 SANDRA’s existence, let alone SANDRA’s claim of ownership of Zelepsky’s home. Moreover, 141 Felony Complaint in People v. Mortensen & Barton, et al 1 since SANDRA and MORTENSEN assumed, wrongly, that no one lived at 261 Tognazzini 2 Avenue at the time they perpetrated their fraud on the court, they never sent anything to that 3 address notifying Zelepsky or anyone of their ownership claim. Thus, Zelepsky could not have 4 5 known of the SANDRA’s claim before the middle of December 2010. Zelepsky promptly acted on her discovery in mid-December 2010 by consulting attorney Ronald Kelly of the Legal Aid Foundation of Santa Barbara County (LAF). In early January 6 2011, while continuing to review the matter with the LAF, Zelepsky received a letter addressed to 7 “Current Tenant” dated January 5, 2011 from MORTENSEN, who by then had left Lozano Smith 8 for a solo practice. The letter stated that Zelepsky was a hold-over tenant, SANDRA was the 9 owner of 261 Tognazzini Avenue, and eviction proceedings would not commence if Zelepsky 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 tendered rent of $950 within 10 days. MORTENSEN included a lease for Zelepsky to sign. Suspecting fraud afoot, Zelepsky and LAF attorney Kelly teamed up with real estate attorney Brian Simas of the Kirk and Simas Law Firm to sort out the issues. On February 11, 2011, Zelepsky and her attorneys reported to the Guadalupe Police Department that Zelepsky had been the victim of fraud. No other victim besides Zelepsky suspected or reported fraud to any law enforcement agency before Zelepsky’s report to the Guadalupe Police Department in February 2011. Indeed, since virtually all of the properties were actually vacant at the time of a Barton defendant’s claim of adverse possession, there would be no one to suspect or report fraud to law enforcement. Zelepsky’s attorneys noted in their motion to set aside and vacate default judgment filed February 2, 2011 that they had discovered similar frauds committed in Fresno, Tulare, and Kern Counties. 19 The date of their discovery is unclear but must necessarily fall between mid-December 2010 20 when Zelepsky learned that SANDRA owned her house, and February 2, 2011, the first report to 21 law enforcement. Therefore, and calculating conservatively, December 15, 2010 would be the 22 earliest date the applicable four-year statute of limitations for the offenses in sections 115, 118a, 23 24 and 134 would commence to run. Thus, as to these crimes, the statute of limitations could not run its course earlier than approximately December 14, 2014. (§§ 803, 803.5.) It is further alleged that the four-year limitations period also applies to all section 127, 25 subornation of perjury violations, i.e., Counts 4, 8, 12, 16, 22, 26, 30, 34, 38, 42, 46, 50, 56, 60, 26 64, 70, 74, 80, 82, 86, 90, 94, 98, 102, 108, 112, 116, 122, 126, 133, 136, 144, 150, 154, 158, 162, 27 166, 172, 176, 180, 184, 188, 192, 198, 202, 206, 212, 216, 220, 224, 228, 234, 238, 244, 248, 28 142 Felony Complaint in People v. Mortensen & Barton, et al 1 254, 260, 266, 272, 278, 282, and 288. Therefore, the four-year statue of limitations applies to all 2 crimes charged in the complaint. 3 SPECIAL ALLEGATION TWO 4 Aggravated White Collar Crime Enhancement (Pen. Code §§ 186.11(a)(2) & 12022.6(a)) 5 It is further alleged, pursuant to Penal Code sections 186.11, subdivision (a)(2) and 6 12022.6, subdivision (a), that the offenses set forth in Counts One, Thirty-Five, One Hundred and 7 Nine, One Hundred and Twenty-Three, One Hundred and Thirty-Three, One Hundred and Forty- 8 Seven, One Hundred and Ninety-Nine, Two Hundred and Twenty-Five, Two Hundred and 9 Thirty-Five, Two Hundred and Fifty-one, Two Hundred and Fifty-Seven, Two Hundred and 10 Sixty-Three, Two Hundred and Sixty-Nine, and Two Hundred and Seventy-Nine are related 11 felonies, a material element of which is fraud and embezzlement, which involve a pattern of 12 related felony conduct, and the pattern of related felony conduct involves the taking of more than 13 Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). 14 NOTICE: If found true, convictions imposed in this matter shall be served in State Prison 15 pursuant to Penal Code Section 1170(h)(3)(D). 16 17 I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct. 18 Executed this 13th day of January, 2014, at Fresno, California. 19 20 ____________________________________ LESLIE W.
