Would I be waiving my Miranda rights to do so? Anybody? -------------------------- December 7, 1998 San Diego District Attorney Family Support Division PO Box 122031 San Diego, CA 92112 ATTN: SLMS (by US Mail & by fax - 619/531-4482) Re: Request for review and release of license suspension of Dennis Erlich FSD# 361515, SC # D200432, Case # 900321101610000 Dear Sir or Ma'am, Please review and release my driver's license suspension in light of the following information: 1) I need my driver's license in order to exercise my right under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to have employment. I am an on-call employee of the City of Los Angeles as a live event producer, and as a registered minister with the State of California. Without my license I cannot perform the duties required of me. (see attached letters from employers) 2) I do not qualify as a candidate for license suspension according to Welfare & Institutions Code Section 11350, in that neither my ex wife, nor my child have ever received public assistance of any kind. The code begins: "11350. (a) In the case of separation or desertion of a parent or parents from a child or children which results in aid under this chapter being granted to that family ..." [emphasis mine] The Section goes on (at 11350.6) to describe what can be done if one is not in compliance with a judgement or order. You should note that there is no current order for child support in my case; rather only a judgement for arrearages which accrued during a period my ex wife was hiding my daughter from me. My wages are already garnished to the full extent that they can be, in accordance with the stipulation into which I entered with Plaintiff's attorney. I have kept your office appraised of my employment to facilitate garnishment. So, in fact, I am in compliance with the court's orders. The provisions of the law regarding license suspension do not apply to me. 3) Section 11350.6 calls upon the District Attorney's Office to "... also recognize that certain expenses may be essential to enable an obligor to be employed." It is clearly counter to the intent of the law that the earning potential of a cooperative obligor, such as myself, should be diminished by the District Attorney's efforts to enforce collection, or to impose punishment. That is precisely what you will be doing to me if you go forward with the suspension of my driver's license. 4) The child support arrearage accrued while my ex wife and her new husband, a San Diego County Deputy Sheriff (an officer of the court), knowingly violated an order from the San Diego Family Court, and took my daughter out of California, denying me any contact or ordered visitation. For nearly 10 years they did not inform me of the child's whereabouts or let me know to what address I could send my child support payments or serve them with an OSC for contempt. In the July 10th, 1995 hearing which set the arrearage, Judge Mason reviewed the facts of this case and confirmed the above, ruling: "For many years here, she was satisfied not to get her child support and essentially keep the child from him ..." In the interest of fairness, license suspension is not warranted. Please release my license so that I can continue my employment with the City of Los Angeles and my duties as an ordained minister. I can be reached at 818/247-0022. I need to know your determination regarding this matter before the proposed date of suspension, December 14, 1998, so that I will not be in violation of any law. Thank you, Dennis Erlich -------------------------------- Until I can pay off the $58K of interest and $20+K of principle from when rOSA was hiding my child from me, I am effectively in debtor's prison, in my parsonage. As long as I can afford to maintain a roof over my ministry. Rev Dennis Erlich * * the inFormer * *
