The Edwards Motion for Stipulated Judgment

The Edwards Motion for Stipulated Judgment asks that the Court deny all Counter
Defendants’ motions to dismiss “as it [sic] is hideously without merit and opposing
counsel does know this fact regardless of what was recently filed with this court.”
Motion for Stipulated Judgment at 2:4-9. The motion is a rambling and largely
incoherent diatribe against the Counter Defendants. It contains improper references to,
and attaches improper copies of, compromise negotiations. In violation of Rule 7.1(a),
Rules of Civil Procedure, it largely fails to cite to legal authority for the procedures it
proposes or the relief it seeks. The sole exception is an inapposite reference to “Rule 20”
(apparently of the Rules of Civil Procedure), which Mr. Edwards asserts gives the Court
“full authority to commence this rule without any further delay.” Motion for Stipulated
Judgment at 5:23-27.

Good cause not appearing,

IT IS ORDERED, denying the Motion for Stipulated Judgment. Although it is
somewhat difficult to determine what Mr. Edwards requests, his unsubstantiated
allegations are not a sufficient basis for the Court to deny the other parties’ motions to
dismiss, nor is it a sufficient response to their motions. Mr. Edwards’ request for an
expedited hearing is denied. The Court finds a hearing would not assist it in making the
necessary determinations. A “hearing” is not a procedurally proper manner for Mr.
Edwards to ask the Court to enter judgment against the Counter Defendants. A stipulated
judgment is possible only with a stipulation from the other party. None is proffered with
the motion. No adequate basis is stated to strike any pleading by any party. This Court
does not have the authority to disbar any attorney. No basis is stated to remove Mr. Lunn
from the Plaintiff’s board of directors.

The Smith and Sears Motion

This motion asks that the Court dismiss the Counter Complaint (the “Counter
Complaint”) filed by Defendant Stephen S. Edwards (“Edwards”) on June 14, 2017
pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), Rules of Civil Procedure, pursuant to the doctrine of res
judicata, because they are absolutely immune from the suit, and for failure to meet what
they refer to as “the pleading standard”. No response has been received by the Clerk or
this Division. Sandra Smith and Vicki Sears filed a July 24, 2017 Reply in support of
their motion, indicating they had received a response. However, it is a party’s obligation

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

01/04/2018

Docket Code 926
Form V000A
Page 5

to file any pleadings they wish the Court to consider with the Clerk of the Court. As a
practical matter, the Court has no other way to know that a document has been filed or to
become aware of its contents. Mr. Edwards has failed to comply.

IT IS ORDERED, deeming Mr. Edwards’ failure to file a response as his consent to the
granting of the Smith and Sears Motion.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, granting the Smith and Sears Motion.

The Association’s Motion

The Association’s Motion also claims the Counter Complaint is barred by the doctrine of
res judicata and absolute immunity. It further claims the Counter Complaint is a
violation of this Court’s March 21, 2016 order (the “2016 Order”) in Edwards v.
Lakewood Community Association, Maricopa Cause Number CV2015-009257 (the
“2015 Action”), which, among other things, ordered that, “Mr. Stephen S. Edwards shall
cease filing these repetitious Complaints.” 2016 Order at 2.

Mr. Edwards’ response to the motion, such as it is, is found in his Motion for Stipulated
Judgment, a portion of which caption is “MOTION … TO STRIKE THE LAKEWOOD
COMMUNITY PLEADING’s and all Defendant’s PLEADINGS TO
DISMISS”. [Sic] It offers no direct response to the claims contained in the Association’s
Motion.

Good cause appearing,

IT IS ORDERED, granting the Association’s Motion for the reasons stated in the motion
itself and in the Association’s July 18, 2017 reply in support of its motion. Further,
because Mr. Edwards has failed to specifically respond to the Association’s claims, IT IS
ORDERED, deeming his failure to appropriately respond as his consent to the granting of
the Association’s Motion.

The Cupps Motion

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

01/04/2018

Docket Code 926
Form V000A
Page 6

The Cupps Motion asks that the Court dismiss the Counter Complaint against Cross
Defendant Katherine Cupps be dismissed because the Counter Complaint has failed to
allege any wrongdoing by her.

IT IS ORDERED, granting this request. The Court notes that the Counter Complaint
does not appear to identify who Katherine Cupps is or any relationship she may have to
anyone involved in the wrongdoing it alleges.

The motion continues by arguing that there is no claim for civil conspiracy in and of
itself, citing Savard v. Selby, 19 Ariz. App. 514 (1973), and because an unlawful purpose
or means is required to accomplishes such a future, citing Uvodich v. Arizona Board of
Regents, 9 Ariz. App. 400 (1969). The motion argues that no allegations have been
made in the Counter Complaint to unlawful purposes or means. Cupps Motion at 5:13-
6:14.

The Court is unable to discern a specific response to these claims in the Motion for
Stipulated Judgment. To the extent the Court is able to understand Mr. Edwards’ claims
relating to this issue in his Counter Complaint, it appears he alleges that several Counter
Defendants, including Mr. Cupps, have engaged in a civil conspiracy by attempting to
make him pay attorney’s fees and to foreclose on the Association’s lien against his home
in this action. Counter Complaint at 14-15. The Court finds that these claims are
insufficient to state a claim for civil conspiracy.

As to the Counter Complaint’s claims of fraud, the Cupps Motion argues that Mr.
Edwards has failed to state any claim of fraud against Mr. Cupps with particularity, as
required by Rule 9(b), Rules of Civil Procedure, and that other required elements of fraud
are not pled. However, it appears that the Counter Complaint does, in fact, specifically
allege that Mr. Cupps misrepresented whether a particular payment by Mr. Edwards had
been received. Counter Complaint at 13 ¶ 10.

IT IS ORDERED, granting the Cupps Motion in part and dismissing Katherine Cupps
from this action.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, dismissing the Counter Complaint’s claims against Mr.
Cupps as to civil conspiracy.

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

01/04/2018

Docket Code 926
Form V000A
Page 7

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, denying the Cupps Motion insofar as it asks to dismiss
the Counter Complaint’s allegations of fraud against Mr. Cupps.

The Mulvaney Motion

The Mulvaney Motion seeks to join in the Association’s Motion to Dismiss. Mr.
Edwards has failed to respond to the motion.

IT IS ORDERED, deeming Mr. Edwards’ failure to respond as his consent to the
granting of the Mulvaney Motion.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, granting the Mulvaney Motion.

The Motion to Consolidate

Mr. Edwards’ July 19, 2017 Motion to Consolidate requests consolidation of this matter
with Maricopa Cause Number CV2014-092726 (the “2014 Matter”). The Associations’s
August 2, 2017 Response to the Motion to Consolidate argues that the 2014 Matter has
already been concluded, as does the Cupps’ July 31, 2017 response and, by reference, the
Smith and Sears August 3, 2017 response. No reply has been received. Because the
2014 Matter is already concluded, and for the additional reasons stated by the responses
referenced in this paragraph,

IT IS ORDERED, denying the Motion to Consolidate.

The Edwards Motion to Compel

The Edwards Motion to Compel asks the Court to compel Attorney Larry Langley to
comply with a subpoena for Mr. Cupps billing records that the motion claims to have
been served on Mr. Langley on an unspecified date in July in an unspecified year. The
motion notes that Mr. Langley has stated that he does not have the records in his
possession, but that, “It is very easy to obtain these records and … these records are
available to all 1700 Homeowners of the Lakewood Community …”

Mr. Langley’s July 25, 2017 response includes his sworn declaration and states that the
requested records are not in Mr. Langley’s possession, custody or control, are subject to
numerous privileges, and that Mr. Langley is collaterally estopped from again requesting

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

01/04/2018

Docket Code 926
Form V000A
Page 8

these records, the request for which was denied by Judge David Udall in the 2014
Matter. No reply has been received.

The Court credits Mr. Langley’s response. For the reasons stated in Mr. Langley’s
response,

IT IS ORDERED, denying the Edwards Motion to Compel.

Gardner’s Motion to Dismiss

The Gardner Motion to Dismiss asks that Defendant Michael Gardner be dismissed
because of issue and claim preclusion. No response has been received.

The Court finds good cause to grant the motion on its merits. Further, the Court
construes Mr. Edwards’ failure to respond as his consent to the granting of the motion.

IT IS ORDERED, granting the Gardner Motion to Dismiss.

Edwards’ Motion for Summary Judgment

The Edwards Motion for Summary Judgment requests judgment against Counter
Defendants Quinten Cupps for alleged ethical violations, Sandra Smith for allegedly
providing a false declaration to this Court, Vicky Sears for allowing Ms. Smith to file the
declaration, Michael Gardner for a share of a wall, Maureen Mulvaney for a share of a
wall, the Association for wasteful expenditure of funds, and Jeffrey Smith for alleged
fraud on the Court. Defendants Lunn and the Association filed an August 18, 2017
response, as did Defendants Smith and Sears on September 11, 2017. As Defendants
Smith and Sears’ response notes, the motion is unsupported by any evidence, and fails as
a matter of law.

IT IS ORDERED, denying Edwards’ Motion for Summary Judgment.

The Smith Motion to Strike

The Smith Motion to Strike asks that the Court strike Mr. Edwards’ August 17, 2017
First Amended Cross Complaint (the “Amended Cross Complaint”) as to its claims
against Mr. Smith for Mr. Edwards’ failure to obtain the Court’s permission pursuant to

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

01/04/2018

Docket Code 926
Form V000A
Page 9

Rule 15(a), Rules of Civil Procedure, because Mr. Smith’s statements complained of
were privileged, and because the claims fail as a matter of law. No response has been
received.

The Court finds good cause to grant the motion on its merits. Further, the Court
construes Mr. Edwards’ failure to respond as his consent to the granting of the motion.

IT IS ORDERED, granting the Smith Motion to Strike and dismissing Mr. Edwards’
claims against Mr. Smith contained in the Amended Cross Complaint.

Further

The prevailing parties shall lodge forms of judgment within 30 days to the extent entry of
judgment is appropriate.

The Court is unaware of any motions ripe for decision that have not been decided at the
present time. If any party believes such motions exist, the party shall file an appropriate
notice or motion with the Court.

MINUTE ENTRY

The Court has considered Defendant Edwards’ April 27, 2018 pleading, the caption of
which begins “Stephen Edwards’ Response in Opposition” (hereafter referred to as "Defendant’s
Motion") and Plaintiff’s May 8, 2018 pleading, the caption of which begins “Plaintiff Lakewood
Community Association’s Reply to Motion in Opposition” (“Plaintiff’s Motion”). Both
pleadings contain two motions in a single document. The Court has previously ordered that the
parties not include two motions in a single document because of the difficulty the practice
presents in attempting to track pleadings to provide timely rulings. The Court reiterates that
order and, on its motion, strikes both pleadings.

IT IS ORDERED, Defendant Edwards may file a new response to Plaintiff’s
Application for Award of Attorney’s Fees within 20 calendar days.

MOTION TO QUASH – DENIED
ORDER FOR DISMISSAL UNLESS FURTHER ACTION TAKEN

Motion to Quash

The Court has received Defendant Stephen Edwards’ Motion to Quash filed July 19, 2019,
Plaintiff Lakewood Community Association’s Response to Defendant Stephen S. Edwards’
Motion to Quash filed July 31, 2019, and the Defendant’s Reply filed August 5, 2019.

Upon review, the Court notes that Defendant Edwards did not file any objection to the
proposed form of judgment issued on January 7, 2019. Defendant Edwards filed a Motion only

asking the Court deny legal fees to Plaintiff’s counsel. Additionally, the record does not contain
any filing by Defendant Edwards seeking to stay the enforcement of the writ about which he now
complains. The Court recognizes that Mr. Edwards requested relief from the lien but the record
does not reflect any request for a stay of execution nor any attempt to object to the sale based on
the form of judgment. Accordingly, the Court concludes that Defendant Edwards has waived his
objection to the validity of the judgment resulting in the sheriff’s sale.

IT IS ORDERED denying Defendant Stephen Edwards’ Motion to Quash filed July 19,
2019.

Order for Dismissal

No action having been taken on any claims since March 2019,

IT IS ORDERED any remaining claims will be dismissed on October 1, 2019 unless the
Court receives before October 1, 2019 a joint Rule 16 joint report identifying the specific claims
that remain to be litigated and a proposed scheduling order.

REASSIGNMENT REQUEST DENIED – CIVIL PRESIDING JUDGE

On September 24, 2018, Stephen Edwards filed a pleading captioned, “Special Action
Motion.” Mr. Edwards forwarded the “Special Action” to the Presiding Civil Judge for ruling.

Mr. Edwards requests the following relief on pages 7 through 8 of his “Special Action”: 1)
imposition of judgment against The Lakewood Community Association, Quinten Cupp, and John
Condrey in favor of Mr. Edwards; 2) that this court follow the rulings of Judge Udall to deny
Lakewood any further fees including legal fees; 3) an order vacating “permanently” the September
28, 2018 hearing; 4) that this court vacate the default judgment against Kemeny; 5) imposition of
sanctions against “Cupps” and “Condrey”; and 6) a referral of “Cupps” to the Arizona Bar. This
court is not an appellate court over the decisions of Judge Hegyi or any other judge of the Arizona
Superior Court. To the extent that Mr. Edwards seeks a change of judge under A.R.S. § 12-409
based on allegations of bias and prejudice,

A record of the proceedings is made digitally in lieu of a court reporter.

The Court notes that despite being aware of today’s hearing, Mr. Edwards is not present
and deems him to have waived his appearance. The Court states it has received communications
through staff from Mr. Edwards but has previously informed Mr. Edwards it will not consider his
informal communications because they lack an appropriate communication style.

Mr. Perry advises the Court that Mr. Edwards sent an email to the parties and division
staff this morning which says, in part, that if the Court wanted to speak with him, he would be
available telephonically.

To the extent that Mr. Edwards’ email is a request to appear telephonically,

IT IS ORDERED, denying the request. The Court will proceed with today’s hearing.

Cross-Defendants’ case:

Mr. Perry presents an opening statement.

Cross-Defendants’ exhibit 37 is marked for identification and received in evidence.

Cross-Defendants’ exhibits 1 through 36 are received in evidence.

Mr. Perry presents evidence by way of testimony regarding the evidence.

Cross-Defendants rest.

Counterdefendant addresses the Court concerning the evidence.

IT IS ORDERED, any party wishing to file Conclusions of Facts and Findings of Law
shall do so by 5 p.m. October 12, 2018 at which time the Court will take the matter under
advisement.

JUDGE HEGYI

REASSIGNMENT REQUEST DENIED – CIVIL PRESIDING JUDGE

The court received a pleading captioned “Rule 42.2 Rule 60 Special Action Motion to
Remove Judge Hugh Heygi Crimes & Fraud Upon the Court (Biased),” filed November 26, 2018.
After reviewing the content of the Mr. Edwards’ Motion, the court considers his request a motion
for change of judge for cause under Rule 42.2 of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.

As a preliminary matter, Mr. Edwards’ pleading does not include a certificate of service.
Rule 5 of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure requires that “[t]he date and manner of service
must be noted on the last page of the original of the served document or in a separate certification
. . .” This court could reject Mr. Edwards’ pleading as an improper ex parte pleading. However,
in this instance, the court will simply remind Mr. Edwards of his obligation under Rule 5 and
inform him that future pleadings failing to comply with Rule 5 of the Arizona Civil Rules of
Procedure will likely be denied as impermissible ex parte pleadings. To prevent an ex parte
communication in this instance, the court ensured Mr. Edwards’ pleading was filed. Moreover,

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

11/29/2018

Docket Code 033
Form V000A
Page 2

the court hereby informs opposing counsel of the existence of Mr. Edwards’ pleading and advises
counsel that a copy may be obtained by contacting this division’s judicial assistant. Although
opposing counsel has a right to file a response to a motion for change of judge for cause under
Rule 42.2(e)(1), the court does not require a response to rule on the pending motion.

Rule 42.2 of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure provides that a party seeking a change
of judge for cause must establish grounds by affidavit as required by A.R.S. §12-409. Arizona
Revised Statutes §12-409 states that grounds for change of judge are: 1) the judge has been
engaged as counsel in the action prior to the appointment or election as judge; 2) that the judge is
otherwise interested in the action; 3) that the judge is of kin or related to either party to the action;
4) that the judge is a material witness in the action; or 5) that the party filing the affidavit has cause
to believe and does believe that on account of the bias, prejudice or interest of the judge he cannot
obtain a fair and impartial trial. Under Section 409(B)(5), the sufficiency of any “cause to believe”
must be determined by an objective standard, not by reference to the affiant’s subjective belief.

In this case, Mr. Edwards appears to disagree with Judge Hegyi’s rulings. Disagreement
with Judge Hegyi’s decisions is an impermissible basis to file a motion for change of judge for
cause. See Liteky v. United States, 510 U.S. 540, 555-56, 114 S. Ct. 1147, 1156-57 (1994)(finding
that judicial rulings, routine trial administrative efforts, and ordinary admonishments occur in the
course of judicial proceedings and fail to stand as a proper basis to request removal of a judge for
cause absent a finding of knowledge acquired outside such proceeding or the display of a deep-
seated and unequivocal antagonism that would render fair judgment impossible); State v. Henry,
189 Ariz. 543, 546, 944 P.2d 57, 61 (1997)(citing State v. Curry, 187 Ariz. 623, 631, 931 P.2d
1133, 1141 (App. 1996)). Mr. Edwards’ also appears to allege that Judge Hegyi’s judicial assistant
“lied” about Mr. Edwards’ disability when she attempted to summarize her understanding of a
document submitted to the court. The court finds no basis to conclude that Judge Hegyi’s staff
“lied” about Mr. Edwards’ disability. Moreover, Mr. Edwards’ appears to allege, without support,
that Judge Hegyi is somehow conspiring with lawyer Quinten Cupps. A judge is presumed to be
free of bias or prejudice. See State v. Hurley, 197 Ariz. 400, 405 ¶25, 4 P.3d 455, 459 (App.
2000)(citation omitted); State v. Rossi, 154 Ariz. 245, 247, 741 P.2d 1223, 1225 (1987); State v.
Granados, 235 Ariz. 321, 326, 332 P.3d 68, 73 (App. 2014)(finding that judicial bias or prejudice
ordinarily must come from an extrajudicial source and not what the judge has done in the case).
Mr. Edwards has failed to satisfy his burden of proof. Ariz. R. Civ. P. 42.2(e).

IT IS ORDERED denying Mr. Edwards’ requested relief in the pleading captioned “Rule
42.2 Rule 60 Special Action Motion to Remove Judge Hugh Heygi Crimes & Fraud Upon the

proceedings.

MINUTE ENTRY

This matter came on for evidentiary hearing before the Court September 28, 2018 with regard to
the Lakewood Community Association’s 3/13/18 Motion to Declare Stephen Edwards a Vexatious
Litigant that was joined by Third Party Defendant Quentin Cupps on April 4, 2018 (hereafter,
collectively referred to as the "Motion"). The hearing was noticed through this Court's July 11,
2018 Minute Entry that reflects service on Mr. Edwards. All parties were notified by minute order
of the relevant deadlines for lists of witnesses and exhibits for the evidentiary hearing, exchanging

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

Docket Code 019
Form V000A
Page 2

exhibits, and marking exhibits. Mr. Edwards failed to file a list of witnesses and exhibits, exchange
exhibits with the other parties, or mark any exhibits for the hearing. Mr. Edwards filed a September
24, 2018 pleading captioned "Special Action Motion" that was denied by Presiding Civil Judge
Pamela Gates September 27, 2018 and that, among other things, asked to vacate the September 28
evidentiary hearing. Mr. Edwards did not appear at the hearing. The Court finds that Mr. Edwards
was aware of the hearing, since he asked the Court to vacate it, and that he voluntarily waived his
right to participate in it by failing to appear.

Following hearing, the Court allowed the parties to submit proposed written findings of fact and
conclusions of law until October 12, 2018. The Lakewood Community Association and Mr. Cupps
submitted timely proposed findings. Mr. Edwards has not submitted proposed findings.

The Court took the matters presented under advisement October 12, 2018. Having further
considered those matters, the Court enters its recommendations to Presiding Judge Janet Barton
through this minute entry.

A.R.S. § 12-3201 provides, in part:

A. In a noncriminal case, at the request of a party or on the court's own motion, the
presiding judge of the superior court or a judge designated by the presiding judge
of the superior court may designate a pro se litigant a vexatious litigant.

B. A pro se litigant who is designated a vexatious litigant may not file a new
pleading, motion or other document without prior leave of the court.

C. A pro se litigant is a vexatious litigant if the court finds the pro se litigant
engaged in vexatious conduct.

. . .

E. For the purposes of this section:

1. “Vexatious conduct” includes any of the following:

(a) Repeated filing of court actions solely or
primarily for the purpose of harassment.

(b) Unreasonably expanding or delaying court
proceedings.

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

12/12/2018

Docket Code 019
Form V000A
Page 3

(c) Court actions brought or defended without
substantial justification.

. . .

(f) Repeated filing of documents or requests for relief
that have been the subject of previous rulings by the
court in the same litigation.

2. “Without substantial justification” has the same meaning
prescribed in § 12-349.

FINDINGS OF FACT

Edwards' History of Filing Meritless Claims

The Court finds Stephen S. Edwards ("Edwards") has filed lawsuits in state and federal courts in
Arizona, Michigan, New Jersey, California, Oregon, and Wyoming. He has brought at least twelve
claims for relief in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona alone.

As discussed below, the Court is aware of forty-one civil cases in which Edwards has been a party
in this Court. Edwards' claims have been unsuccessful in twenty-nine, three have been settled,
two were removed to federal court, three were not pursued or were abandoned by the other party,
and four are not yet resolved or their resolution is not recorded in the Clerk's file. Cumulatively,
then, the Court's record does not reflect a single case of the forty-one in which Edwards' claims
have been successful.

The Court takes judicial notice of the following actions that Edwards has brought in this Court,
together with their outcomes:

1. CV2008-019061, Stephen Edwards v. Alan Sfadi/Access Recover & Repossession, filed
August 8, 2008. Lawsuit to prevent vehicle repossession of a SuperLimo vehicle. Dismissed.

2. ST2009-000234, Stephen Edwards v. Maricopa County, filed October 1, 2009. Unsuccessful
challenge of property tax assessment.

3. ST2009-000235, Stephen Edwards v. Maricopa County, filed October 1, 2009. Property tax
assessment appeal. Dismissed.

Thus, of the twenty-one claims Edwards has filed in this Court of which the Court is aware, the
Court is not aware of a single case in which Edwards has been successful. His claims have been
unsuccessful in fifteen cases, two have been dismissed by stipulation, two removed to federal
court, and two are as yet unresolved.

The Court also takes judicial notice of the following actions in which Edwards has been named as
a defendant in this Court:

aware, the record, again, does not reflect that Edwards' claims were successful in any. He was
unsuccessful in fourteen cases, settled one, three were abandoned by the Plaintiffs and no
resolution is recorded as to two.

As discussed above, the Court is aware of forty-one civil cases in which Edwards has been a party
in this Court. Edwards has participated in thirty-eight of these cases. His claims have been
adjudicated unsuccessful in twenty-nine. The remainder were otherwise resolved, or diverted to
other forums, are not yet resolved, or a record of their resolution is not readily available because
of the age of the cases. Of the twenty-nine that were adjudicated, Edwards has not been successful

MARICOPA COUNTY

Form V000A

in a single case. The Court concludes Edwards has consistently brought and defended meritless
claims in this forum.

The Court further finds that Edwards has often filed or defended these actions and actions in other
jurisdictions on behalf of, or in his purported capacity as owner, member, manager, officer, director
or shareholder of various LLCs and corporations, including 1630 S. 36th LLC ("1630"); Gucci
Blue, LLC; Stephen S. Edwards, Inc.; Super Trust Fund u/t/d/ June 15, 2001; and Mesa Blue, LLC.

Ample further evidence of Edwards' meritless claims is found in the record. The Court notes only
one additional case as an example. Edwards' lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District
of Arizona on December 15, 2017, Docket Number 2:17-cv-04661-DLR, concerned purported
civil rights violations. Edwards named as defendants the Lakewood Community Association
("Lakewood") in which Edwards resides, twelve Judges of that Court, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the Maricopa County Superior Court, the State Bar of Arizona, and
the Family of Christ Lutheran Church. His complaint was dismissed by the court four days after
filing as frivolous, pursuant Rule 12(b)(6), Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Trial Exhibit 4:27-
28.

Filing of Repetitive Claims Previously Determined/
Expanding and Delaying Litigation

In many instances Edwards' has filed claims in identical or nearly identical lawsuits. He frequently
and repeatedly requests reconsideration by various procedural devices without any rational basis.
For example, in the following matters as to which the Court takes judicial notice, on October 12,
2012, in Maricopa Cause CV2012-095984 (the "First Magnus Case"), Edwards brought a lawsuit
against Magnus Title Agency, LLC and "Magnus Title Agency, a division of Title Security Agency
of Arizona, Inc.", alleging damages in five counts for Defendants' alleged failure to disclose
judgments against Edwards to a lender in the course of a title search for a construction loan that
Edwards had apparently failed to disclose in his loan application. The gravamen of Edwards'
complaint, then, was that Magnus harmed him because it failed to disclose to Edwards' lender what
Edwards, himself, had also failed to disclose to that lender.

Not surprisingly, his claims were dismissed December 21, 2012. His motion to set aside was
denied March 19, 2012. Edwards appealed three days later. The Court of Appeals issued its
decision affirming the dismissal February 27, 2014. Edwards requested reconsideration. His
request was denied March 14, 2014. The Court of Appeals Mandate was received by the Superior
Court September 2, 2014.

On October 20, 2017, three years later, Edwards filed a special action in the same matter asking
to vacate the judgment and remove the original Superior Court Judge who had entered the

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY

CV 2017-003266

Form V000A

judgment against him because, he contended, the Judge was ill at the time the Judge entered the
judgment and unable to make a proper decision. He failed to pursue the appeal, and the Court of
Appeals returned the Superior Court file January 26, 2018.

A month after filing the First Magnus Case, on November 14, 2012, in CV2012-096712 (the "First
Title Security Case"), Edwards brought another lawsuit, this time against Title Security Agency of
Pinal County, LLC ("Title Security"), rather than against one of its divisions, as in the prior case.
The complaint alleged the same claimed failure to disclose judgments against Edwards as were
alleged in the First Magnus Case, albeit this time in six counts. His claims were dismissed April
2, 2013. Edwards appealed the dismissal April 10, 2013. The dismissal was affirmed by the Court
of Appeals June 12, 2014.

On April 25, 2013 Edwards filed a new complaint in Maricopa Number CV2013-093124 (the
"Second Title Security Case") alleging the same underlying facts as in the 6712 Case and ten
counts for relief that were largely repetitive of his six prior theories. Judgment against Edwards
was entered October 30, 2013. Edwards noticed his appeal November 26, 2013, but failed to
prosecute the appeal. The Court of Appeals deemed the appeal abandoned and returned the
Superior Court's file February 14, 2014.

On the same date that he filed the Second Title Security Case Edwards filed Maricopa Cause
CV2013-093125 (the "Second Magnus Case"), claiming the same alleged failures as in the
previous matters. The Court dismissed these claims as barred by res judicata and as failing to state
a claim upon which relief might be granted August 15, 2013. Edwards requested reconsideration
September 10, 2013. His request for reconsideration was denied December 12, 2013.

Edwards noticed his appeal the next day. That appeal was dismissed as premature February 14,
2014. Judgment was entered February 21, 2014. Edwards noticed a new appeal March 5, 2014.
The appeal was dismissed March 24, 2014. Edwards asked this Court to reinstate his appeal June
15, 2014. That request was denied June 24, 2018.

Another example of Edwards' repetitive actions and frivolous claims is found in litigation that
ensued following the 2014 filing in this Court of the case of the Lakewood Community Association
v. 1630 S. 36th LLC, Maricopa Cause CV2014-092726, as to which contents the Court takes
judicial notice. In that action, Lakewood, the homeowners' association for the community in which
Edwards resides, brought an action against 1630 S. 36th LLC ("1630"), a single member LLC that
owns Edwards' present residence, to require him to remove a wall he had constructed in violation
of the community's conditions, covenants and restrictions.

On November 26, 2014, this Court entered a permanent injunction ordering the removal and
awarding the association its fees and costs. Edwards then requested reconsideration three times,

on February 22, 2016, June 20, 2016, and September 28, 2016, all of which were denied. In the
same matter, Edwards requested reconsideration of a different decision of the Court. His
December 5, 2017 motion was, not uncharacteristically, captioned "Motion for Reconsideration of
Stupid Decision to Release Attorney Quinten Cupps from Criminal Conduct".

Edwards then brought several additional lawsuits in this Court concerning the original litigation:
Stephen S. Edwards v. Lakewood Community Association, CV2015-009257, that was dismissed
by the Court; Stephen S. Edwards v. Lakewood Community Association, CV2015-094117,
dismissed by the Court and the subject of three motions for reconsideration or to set aside dismissal
by Edwards, all of which were denied; Stephen Edwards v. Sandra Smith, et al. CV2015-094118,
Edwards' action against Lakewood’s property manager, management company and one of his
neighbors; Stephen Edwards v. Gardner, CV2015-009256, in which Edwards sued another
neighbor for statements made in testifying against Edwards. All were unsuccessful.

In Maricopa Cause Number CV2017-003266 Counter-Claimant Stephen S. Edwards ((hereafter
referred to as the "Motion") “Edwards”) asserted claims against Counter-Defendant Lakewood
Community Association (“Lakewood”), Lakewood’s attorney, Quinten Cupps ("Cupps"),
members of the Lakewood Community Association and others, all also related to the original
litigation by Lakewood handled by Mr. Cupps. He also filed an action against Mr. Cupps' law
firm, Vial Fotheringham LLP, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon (Docket Number
3:17-cv-01878-SI), alleging claims against the firm related to Mr. Cupps’ representation of
Lakewood Community Association in the instant action. That lawsuit was dismissed twice,
reconsideration was denied, and a judgment of dismissal was entered with prejudice. Trial Exhibit
28.

Further, the Court finds the information and allegations contained in Trial Exhibit 4 is accurate
and hereby incorporates by reference as if fully set forth in these findings. The exhibit describes
28 cases in which Edwards took actions which were clearly improper, including repeatedly filing
motions requesting the same relief that was previously denied and attempting to prolong litigation
by filing frivolous pleadings.

Edwards' Use of Litigation to Harass

Recounting all instances of Edwards' harassing and inappropriate communications evidenced by
the record before the Court would require more time than is available to this Division. As examples
only, the Court finds Edwards has made the following improper statements and statements
indicating his state of mind to use litigation to harass and to use frivolous litigation and motions
for the express purpose of increasing his opponent's litigation costs:

1. Stephen Edwards ... demand[s] that this Court ... forward this case to trial without
any further bullshit or delay ...

So what the Hell are you thinking letting criminals loose?

Judge Strong [the Judge to whom Edwards' pleading is addressed] is a former alcoholic
and current pot head and should be checked for marijuana use while sitting on the bench.
I ask: What the Fuck are you thinking allowing a person who injured to not receive justice
...

You have a Weak Mind to allow such injustice. You must be a Sick Fuck to think it's ok
to Deny People Justice. Edwards proclaims: "Not in my world" ... you should act like a
Human ... you little Coward.

Craig Strong - I don't give a damn what the fuck you think about me. I Don't Like Stupid
People regardless of your quest for power ... What kind of fucking person do you think you
are in denying me justice?

Judge Strong - You want to act like a criminal? I'm going to talk to you like a fucking
criminal! Get your head out of your ass and leave my case alone for the Jury to decide not
a stupid old fuck who doesn't know not to speak and whom is legally incompetent ... You're
probably a Dr. Nasser supporter, or you support the officials of Flint who allowed people
of Flint to drink poisoned water ... Not here Craig - not on my watch. If you want to stay
on this case then you will act like a professional, not some Old Stupid Fool who neglects
his professional duties.

said it's OK for me to be raped?? #funnyHuman

understand me?

[Y]ou have a duty as an employee of the state of Arizona so you work for me and
I'm going to keep you busy, until you screw your head on right and get this
corrected. Cupps is a liar and now you come across the same!

Thomas do you condone pedophilia I'm under the impression you do?? You're a
sick fuck.

So in conclusion I don't think it's wise to try to spar with me do you?

[Sic] Edwards January 23, 2018 e mail to, among others, an employee of the State Bar of Arizona
at Trial Exhibit 6 (emphasis added).

4. Larry, Hope you're well, you heard me say in the past that there are new causes
of action forthcoming I expect should be ready by Monday. It's gonna take this
whole entire situation to another level.

It's not a good thing when you have a corporate individual with the resources to
investigate his adversaries! Trust me I could have so much more litigation people
realize it's not a smart thing so if your clients continue to be in denial no worries
they're going to pay it out one way or another ...

And I did mention to you another two years of litigation so when people don't want
to take me serious I just sit back and wink

See Cobblestone v. Edwards 2015/ they racked up $110,000 judgment against me
and I still came back and won monetarily!

Quinten [Cupps] as we did a thorough investigation him along with [Maricopa
Superior Court Judge] David Udall and it's not pretty. I'm advising you right now
this whole entire situation is about to go to another level in the courtroom.

I promised you new litigation in fact everything that I have stated I have done so
I'm sure you shouldn't have any doubt by now ... I'm Muhammad Ali and we're
going to go for 15 rounds one (me) against 20! So let them keep messing with me
I'm going to keep striking back.

[Sic] Edwards' November 19, 2017 e mail to, among others, Attorney Larry Langley at Trial
Exhibit 11 (emphasis added).

6. [I]f I have to file anything new in the future I will include you and your law firm
...

Edwards' September 25, 2017 e mail to, among others, Attorney Larry Langley at Trial Exhibit 12
(emphasis added). Other examples of communications between Edwards and others are found in
Trial Exhibits 5-12.

The Court concludes that Edwards has consistently used litigation in this Court in order to harass
and to publish scandalous, nonsensical and completely baseless insults in a forum in which he
requires captive audiences to spend valuable time reading and digesting what is best characterized
as meritless drivel because of the remote possibility that his missives might contain a kernel of
value that requires response. It finds that he does so for the sole purposes of increasing his
opponents' litigation costs and harassing his opponents. It further finds that he makes these
statements with impunity because he believes himself to be immune to judgments and because of
the protection from defamation actions this Court's mantle provides him.

Conclusions of Law

1. Edwards has consistently filed and defended court actions solely or primarily for the purpose of
harassment.

2. Edwards has consistently filed claims or requests for relief that have been the subject of previous
rulings by a court in the same litigation.

3. Edwards has consistently brought and defended court actions without substantial justification,
and has advanced claims and defenses that are meritless and not made in good faith.

4. Edwards has consistently unreasonably expanded or delayed court proceedings.

4. Edwards has engaged in repeated harassment, threats, intimidation, and bullying behavior in
oral argument, emails, and court filings in this Court and in every forum in which this Court is
aware that he has litigated. This conduct has been directed toward parties, their attorneys,
witnesses, judges, third parties, and court staff.

Recommendations

This Division recommends that Edwards be declared a vexatious litigant by the Maricopa County
Superior Court Civil Presiding Judge, pursuant to A.R.S. §12-3201.

This Division further recommends that Edwards, as well as any entity as to which Edwards is the
sole owner, member, or shareholder, including, but not limited to, 1630 S. 36th LLC ("1630");
Gucci Blue, LLC; Stephen S. Edwards, Inc.; Super Trust Fund u/t/d/ June 15, 2001; and Mesa
Blue, LLC., be prohibited from filing any new pleading, motion or other document without prior
leave of the court, pursuant to A.R.S. § 12-3201(B).

Dated this 12th day of December, 2018.

MINUTE ENTRY

The Court has considered Counter-Plaintiff’s November 26, 2018 Change of Venue to
Pima County. No response has been received. The Court notes that Plaintiff purports to have
served three defendants' attorneys by electronic mail, a method of service not authorized by the
Rules of Civil Procedure or court order. Good cause not appearing,

IT IS ORDERED, denying the request to change venue on its merits and for Plaintiff's
failure to properly serve the motion on other parties.

MINUTE ENTRY

The Court has considered Counter-Plaintiff Stephen Edwards December 20, 2017 2nd
Rule 12(f) Motion to Strike All Pleadings from the Lakewood Community to Grant Edwards
Summary Judgment or Grant Judgment on These Pleadings and Quash the Illegal Lien on
Property Finally to Convene a Grand Jury for Criminal Indictment Against Attorney Quinten
Cupps, AZ Bar# 024680 and Reply to Counter-Defendants Saturday September 2nd Filing.

The pleading is virtually identical to Mr. Edwards' September 8, 2017 pleading, the
caption of which begins "Counter-Plaintiffs (Edwards) Emergency Motion to Vacate Sept 22nd
hearing" that was denied by Judge Mullins on September 15, 2017. No request or reason for
reconsidering Judge Mullins' decision has been stated. Consequently,

IT IS ORDERED, denying the motion.

In addition, the Court notes that the pleading contains multiple motions within a single
document. The Court has several times warned the parties not to submit such documents. The
Court again cautions the parties that it will not consider multiple motions contained in a single
document. The Court also denies the motion for Plaintiff's failure to comply with the Court's
orders prohibiting the filing of multiple motions in a single document.
