The Case of Chess Philanthropist and Organizer Mike Goodall is not going
well.
You can look at the case file here:
On April 21, 2011 The Bank of America sued the Goodall Estate in San
Francisco Probate Court, claiming that the entire Goodall Estate including
the Goodall Mansion located at 461 Peachstone Terrace, San Rafael
California should be donated to a charity, Guide Dogs for the Blind.
This claim is entirely bogus and utterly without basis. They have not
produced even one document or cited even one case that supports their
claims.
One suspects that they already gave the Goodall money to Guide Dogs for the
Blind and cannot get it back.
Lately they have been claiming that under a statute of limitations it is
too late for the Goodall Estate to challenge the "gift" of the Goodall
Estate to the Guide Dogs.
This claim is unspeakably absurd and ridiculous. As the case file shows,
Mike Goodall has been suing Bank of America over this since December 21,
1999.
Nevertheless, Bank of America has nine attorneys representing two of the
biggest law firms in San Francisco fighting against me, Sam Sloan, over
this $2.5 million estate.
Now, I just learned from Bowman Liu, Records Clerk in the San Francisco
Superior Court Records Room, that the judge in this case on October 19,
2012 ordered the case file to be brought up from the archives warehouse to
be ready for the next hearing date, which is October 29, 2012. This proves
what I have long suspected that the San Francisco judges have been ruling
in favor of Bank of America without even looking at the case file !!!! Had
they been looking at the case file and especially at the documents filed in
this case in 1999 and 2000, they would have seen right away that Bank of
America has no case at all and that their claims are utterly without basis.
This is probably the ultimate and most extreme example of corruption and
incompetence in the courts.
