This is the most opportune time to take advantage of
two test cases that reflect
the national mood against abuse of power and
the pushback of big law, Harvard, and the media,
to lead to the creation of
a new powerhouse in American governance
strong enough to do what individuals are unable to:
hold power abusers accountable and liable to compensation.

Dear Mr. Belluck, the other commissioners, Chief Judge Wilson and associate judges, Ms. Campbell, and Advocates of Honest Judiciaries,‡
‡ http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/IAB/25-5-27DrRCordero-Commission_Judicial_Conduct.pdf
A. Pattern of preposterous pretense and unresponsiveness to avoid investigating judges and exposing their cover-up by prosecutors, police, judges, and the NYS Commission on Judicial Conduct
- I am in receipt of the latest of 11 letters(pages 3-4‡) from the Commission on Judicial Conduct(CJC). They bear different “Re: File No.” and dates although they concern the same complaint. Thereby the CJC;
a. pretends that the letters are not related;
b. conceals the date when its continuous cover-up started; and
c. gives the false impression that I did not file my complaint with reasonable promptness although I did file it with the CJC and other authorities contemporaneously with the triggering events, as shown below and at ♠.
♠ http://Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org/IAB/DrRCordero-Commission_Judicial_Conduct.pdf
- I was a grand juror at the Bronx County Supreme Court Criminal Term, 265 E. 161st St., Bronx, NY 10451; tel. (718)618-3700, in May 2022. I saw ADA Burim Namani, his supervisor, ADA Diana Jetta, and five NYPD officers and detectives present an indictment of two men for murder that had allegedly occurred on or around May 24, 2021.
a. The evidence presented did not include any photos or footage of the victim; the street crime scene; police, ambulance, medical examiner, or CSI cars, or incident or autopsy report.
b. Only one witness was examined. He testified that the alleged victim was his friend but that he was not with his friend at the time of his alleged murder and did not see it happen.
c. The footage presented was from neighboring restaurants and bodegas, had no sound, and only showed normal indoors and sidewalk business or pedestrian scenes.
d. The presenters relied on the known grand jurors’ indifference and uncritical judgment that lead to their voting indictments based even on insufficient and false evidence. This attitude has given rise to the saying, “A prosecutor can have a grand jury indict a ham sandwich”.
- When I asked questions highlighting those facts, the ADAs referred me to Grand Jury Judge Laurence Busching, who summarily discharged me from the grand jury.
-
I stated these facts in a May 26, 2022 eight-page 4,743 words sworn statement -available upon re-quest- and mailed it to Administrative Judge Alvin Yearwood. His secretaries, Dana and Stephanie, acknowledged receipt of my statement
-
However, Judge Yearwood would not take my calls to discuss my statement. He was remiss in his supervisory duty by referring it to Judge Busching, who foreseeably held himself unaccountable: Without any discussion, he dismissed it on the inconsequential fact that the grand jury term had expired, with no regard for the fabricated indictees or me.(3A1‡)
- Since May 28, 2022, I have mailed the complaint to three Court of Appeals chief judges; each of the associate judges; the NYC and NYS administrative judges as well as three NYPD commissioners; three chiefs of the Internal Affairs Bureau; NYC Mayor Eric Adams, who is a former NYPD captain; the respective inspectors general; council members; public advocates and defenders; et al.♠
a. I have emailed my complaint daily to more than 30 officers, as shown by each email’s “To:” and “cc:” boxes, so that as of May 27, 2025, I had sent them well over 15,000 emails.
b. See my complaints to the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau, which has disregarded them:
1) 2022-03787
2) 2022-13831 3) 2022-15482 |
4) 2022-15601
5) 2022-19474 6) 2023-00275 |
7) 2024-07652
8) 2024-25697 9) 2025-02823 |
10) Nor did I receive any response after my complaint to Jonathan Darche, Esq., Executive Director of the Civilian Complaint Review Board(CCRB), of February 10, 2023(OL3:1561), was forwarded to IAB by its Director of Case Management, Eshwarie Mahadeo, who alleged CCRB’s lack of jurisdiction, as stated in her/his email to me of August 2, 2024, in CCRB Case #202407652.(OL3:1701a♠) |
c. Nevertheless, I have not received a single response addressing the complaint’s merits. That identical no-response for years from so many people duty-bound to enforce the law and administer justice is not coincidental. Rather, it is the coordinated conduct of a cover-up.
- On September 23, 2022, CJC received my complaint against Judges Busching and Yearwood. (3B1‡) The NYS Unified Court System(UCS) identifies both on its website as UCS members(2‡).
Grand Jury Judge Laurence Busching
Administrative Judge Alvin Yearwood
- Yet, beginning with the letter by CJC Senior Administrative Assistant Lee Kiklier of November 3, 2022(3B1‡), subsequently reaffirmed by Clerk NOTES: Celia Zahner and Administrative Assistant Debra Douglas, CJC has informed me that it dismissed my complaint on the preposterous pretense that:
“Although the law requires the Commission to review all complaints, please note that the Commission’s jurisdiction is limited to judges in the New York State Unified Court System, which does not appear to apply to your complaint.”
- There is probable cause to believe that prosecutors, judges, NYPD, IAB, the Mayor, and CJC pursue a common purpose through the coordinated pattern of corrupt enterprise and racketeering acts to cover up the fabricators of, and accessories to, indictments on insufficient and false evidence.
-
This cover-up harms me and the thousands of fabricated indictees who have been and still are incarcerated before and after trial, and financially, emotionally, and reputationally devastated.
a. “About Belluck Law” states: “We are motivated by justice and driven by compassion.”
b. But CJC Chair Belluck and the rest of CJC have proved that to be a mere slogan. The teachings of the Bible in John 3:16-18 and James 2:14-26 denounce the chasm between those words and their conduct: “Love without acts is dead”.
- In its 11th letter to me(4↓C4), CJC informs me that “it reviews all complaints and decides whether to inquire into them”.
- Therefore, I respectfully request that:
a. I just as a suspect can testify before a grand jury, I, who was unlawfully discharged from one, be allowed at CJC’s next meeting to testify on behalf of fabricated indictees and myself. I offer to make a preliminary presentation to you and your guests in person, if here in NY City; otherwise, via video conference; and
b. a public investigation by an impartial party be conducted before the commissioners rubberstamp with no “review” the denial of due process to the indictees and me and its cover-up, and manifest again their lovelessness toward us.
Dare shout “I accuse!”

B. The most opportune time to expose the coordinated fabrication of indictments and its cover-up: when Luigi Mangione is tried
- The public has become familiar with a descriptive triptych of words used by Luigi Mangione after he killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson on December 4, 2024, in a street of Manhattan, NY City: the healthcare insurers’ abusive claims evasive tactics, to wit, “delay, deny, defend”.
-
Mangione expressed through that triptych and his violent, criminal act his frustration with United: His mother had died because her illness had gone untreated as a result of United delaying and denying her claim for insurance coverage of her treatment.
-
In fact, it has been stated that United Healthcare, the largest healthcare insurer in the U.S., denies an estimated one third of the claims of its insureds.
-
The public reaction to Mangione’s act has been, not of condemnation, but rather of approval. He has been hailed as a folk hero because his experience with United is representative of that of scores of millions of people across the country: They too have been abused by their insurers’ claim evasive “delay, deny, defend” tactics.
-
Those who already have been abused by their healthcare insurers with the complicity of Medicare and those who now know why they should distrust and be afraid of the insurers, may consider that Mangione has heroically sacrificed his liberty, even put his life at risk, to expose the insurers’ abusive tactics and launch a reformatory process.
-
The public has also taken action, donating an enormous amount of money for the legal defense of its hero; see Donations To Luigi Mangione’s Legal Defense Fund Surpass $1M; Ryan Grenoble; HuffPost Latest News; HuffPost; 6 May 2025.
-
It is reasonable to expect the trial of Mangione to attract the public and be reported on by the national and international media. They will gather for days or even weeks, in the courtroom and in front of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of NY in lower Manhattan, NY City.
-
Their gathering will offer a most opportune occasion for exposing fabricated indictments and those who cover them up. I will take advantage of it by distributing to journalists and the public an expository handout and inviting everybody to join or support a class action and report on it.
-
The public and the media are likely to pay attention because I will begin by informing them that it is precisely in that district court where I am prosecuting a case akin to Mangione’s, for it is intended to expose healthcare insurers’ -including Medicare- “delay, deny, defend” tactics, namely:
Cordero
v.
Secretary of Health and Human Services, Medicare, EmblemHealth [healthcare insurer], Maximus Federal Services [reviewer of insurance claims denials], et al. [including many of the top officers of the Medicare Appeals Council and the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals (OMHA)];
docket no. 24-cv-09778-JAV;
filed in U.S. District Court, SDNY,
on 16 December 2024◊
a. See my motion in this case for having the decision of the district judge reviewed by her fellow district judges. It has a solid foundation in Cornell Law Professor Maggie Gardner’s article District Court en bancs. I furnish additional foundation and explain how you can use it to your advantage.
- I will also invite journalists and the public to visit my website at http://www.Judicial-Discipline-Reform.org. There I post some of my articles, similar to this one, the product of my professional law and business research and writing, and strategic thinking. They have attracted so many webvisitors and impressed them so positively that as of 27 May 2025, the number of visitors who had become subscribers was 56,518. I invite you now to visit my website and evaluate its articles.

You are welcome to review my three-volume study of abuse of power, titled and downloadable:
Exposing Judges’ Unaccountability and
Consequent Riskless Abuse of Power:
Pioneering the news and publishing field of
judicial unaccountability reporting* † ♣
- What is more, I encourage everybody now and will continue to do so during the trial to promote and participate in unprecedented citizens hearings. They are to:
a. be held at university auditoriums and media stations;
b. have professors, journalists, lawyers, experts, and graduate students as their moderators;
c. afford people wherever they are the opportunity to tell in person and through video conference the story of the abuse that they have suffered or witnessed;
d. present their findings in the first Annual Report on Abuse of Power in America at the first-ever national conference on abuse of power simultaneously held at several university and media venues before live and Internet audiences; and subsequently through a tour of presentations(§G) at universities, media stations, public interest entities, etc.;
e. prompt the creation of the Institute for Advocacy of Public Accountability, attached to a preeminent school or news network; and
f. launch the implementation of the plan of action to develop a Me-Too!-like national movement for abuse of power exposure, accountability, and compensation intended to turn academe and the media into a new joint powerhouse of American governance that holds private and public officers and entities accountable and liable to compensation.
- This plan is realistic given the Trump administration’s executive orders and the vigorous pushback by Harvard, big law firms, and a growing segment of the public. To them must be added principled and opportunistic politicians up for reelection or vying to be elected and facing with trepidation or great expectation the inexorably approaching primaries and mid-term elections.
-
Do you feel confident that the Trump administration will never resort to fabricated indictments to incarcerate you if you say or do what it does not like? Before answering, be aware that more than 250 cases have been filed thus far against the administration’s detentions and deportations that disregard due process; restrictions’ on habeas corpus; tariffs imposed through abuse of power; stripping of citizenship birthright; violations in effect of the right to counsel; reduction of Social Security and Medicare benefits; termination of government employees and programs; cuts in funding to universities; revocation and no processing of visas; etc.
-
Do you trust your healthcare insurer not to engage in “delay, deny, defend” tactics to evade claims on it made by you or those that you care about if any of you fall sick or become the victim of an accident?
-
Hence, this a most opportune time to expose those who fabricate indictments and cover them up, and those who systematically evade healthcare claims, thus committing a pattern of racketeering and corrupt enterprise acts. The above lays out a concrete and strategic plan with implementing means for taking advantage of this opportunity.

You can take advantage of this opportunity to protect and assert your rights as well as those of your friends and family, your workmates, and the rest of your community and the national public:
