RE: IRS Forms W-2 and 1099-R for Year 2000
Dear Trustees:
In Matt Tsukazaki’s letter of August 9, 2002 to Steven Guttman, Esq., he included a reminder that the rules of court prohibit me from directly contacting parties who are represented by counsel, and that in the future my questions or claims should be directed to his office.
In my response to Mr. Tsukazaki dated August 10, 2002, I stated, “I would have no objection to addressing questions regarding these tax matters to your office except that numerous past inquiries directed to your office have gone unanswered. Also, your office has never provided me with documentation that you were, in fact, ever authorized by these entities, and their insurance carriers, to represent them in defending against my RICO lawsuit. As a matter of fact, the law firms of Marr Hipp Jones & Pepper, and Ayabe Chong Nishimoto Sia & Nakamura, also claimed to represent the Kamehameha Schools’ trustees and P&C Insurance Company in the RICO case. (Neither of these law firms, however, have ever furnished evidence of such representation to me, despite repeated requests.)”
Although I have not yet received a reply to my letter, I will respect Mr. Tsukazaki’s admonition by directing this follow-up request for the IRS Forms W-2 and 1099-R through the attorneys which have claimed to represent you (the present trustees), as well as former trustees, Richard S.H. Wong, Oswald K. Stender, Lokelani Lindsey, Gerard A. Jervis and Henry H. Peters, who were named Defendants in my Racketeer-Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuit, and interim trustees, Robert Kihune, Francis Keala, Ronald Libkuman, Constance Lau and David Paul Coon.
Since I have never been provided with documentation from any attorney, however, that their law firm actually represented these trustees in the settlement negotiations, I am sending this same request to each of the law firms that have ‘claimed’ representation.
It is my hope that, by addressing the trustees in this manner, I will receive a timely response to my repeated requests for the IRS Forms W-2 and 1099-R for Year 2000, as required under the SETTLEMENT, RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT which I signed on April 24, 2000.
I trust that each law firm contacted will present this request to their respective ‘purported’ clients. In their response, I ask that they clearly state the names of the parties on whose behalf they are responding.
If any firm has received this letter in error, I apologize and request that I be advised of this fact so that I can address future correspondence accordingly.
Sincerely yours,
Bobby N. Harmon
