Bernstein Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2009 10:36 PMTo: 'Lisa Lashley @ New York State Senator John L. Sampson (D, WF) @ 19th Senate District (sampson@senate.state.ny.us)'Subject: REQUEST TO TESTIFY @ Thursday September 24, 2009 JUDICIARY COMMITTEE HEARINGSDear Lisa Lashley c/o The Honorable John L. Sampson ~ Chairman of the NY Senate Judiciary Committee,Lisa ~ Per our prior conversations regarding my giving testimony at the initial hearings on June 08, 2009 which I was slated for in Albany, as you know, despite my travel under medical treatment to testify, the Senate Coup took place in the Capitol Building in Albany during the hearing and shut them down just prior to my testimony. I have previously forwarded you an outline of the information I will be testifying about and how it relates to the Whistleblower, Christine C. Anderson of the First Department's testimony, please let me know if you need that again or any other information. Anderson in her original lawsuit filing mentions my companies Iviewit complaints against Thomas Cahill and Steven C. Krane (former Pres of the NYSBA and First Dept Official) ordered for Investigation by the First Department for Conflict of Interest and the Appearance of Impropriety. Since the hearings, Judge Scheindlin has moved to bring Anderson's lawsuit to trial and Judge Scheindlin has legally related my trillion-dollar lawsuit to Anderson's lawsuit. I am requesting a 15-minute time slot to appear and give testimony before the Committee. Thank you in advance for your help in these matters and I look forward to seeing you again at the next hearings. Please reply to this email to confirm receipt.
