Solveig Ayres - Shyster Redux


Solveig Ayres, a pathetic friend, Barbara Ayres, and more hippies.

 More Appeal Delays

Well, our old pal Solveig Ayres is back, gnashing at the appeals court again. She still is not quite competent enough to get all of the details worked out, but it looks like the clerks are trying to get her educated enough to file a proper motion. Perhaps the third time will be the charm. What a dolt.


On August 5th, after requesting removal of Child Molester william hamilton ayres' two appeals shysters (actual shysters) and being denied by the court, Solveig has now filed a second request, and been denied again. They've pointed out that she needs to actually submit evidence of power of attorney, not just claim that she has it. (Was this not clear the first time, peabrain?) Anyhow, she can submit all of that stuff, and then when she finds new attorneys "real soon now" maybe she'll be good to go. I think that the court is also subtly hinting that perhaps ayres himself needs to be involved in this to some extent. I suppose the ayres clan is still trying to pull off the dementia lie. (Queue Banjos.)

Also Solveig is hoping that the court will please not publish info about the whole mess on their little web page. Maybe she's embarrassed about her support of a convicted child molester. Or maybe she's mortified because all of those idiot friends of ayres are wondering why she's not .

Meanwhile, the appeals court has granted another delay while Solveig is shopping for shysters who will play along with the dementia gambit.  The new date for opening brief is now 10/19/2015 -- Almost exactly two years after the child molester first filed for appeal.

Here's the content of the request and response for your amusement:

8/5/2015: Renewred (sic) motion to withdraw as counsel upon the dismissal of counsel by the client, with accompanying declaration of Solveig Ayres and the executed power of attorney authorizing Mrs. Ayres to dismiss counsel.

8/7/2015:
Counsels' renewed motion to withdraw as counsel, filed on August 5, 2015, is denied without prejudice.

The motion is supported by the declaration of Solveig Ayres, appellant William Ayres's wife. The declaration states that it is accompanied by the power of attorney designating Ms. Ayres as appellant's attorney-in-fact. Because the version of the filing submitted through the court's electronic filing system did not include the power of attorney, the clerk of this court contacted appellant's counsel, who forwarded an electronic copy of the document to the clerk. Appellant is directed to file the document through the court's electronic filing system. Should he do so, the court is inclined to grant the request that his current attorneys be able to withdraw as counsel.

Ms. Ayres's declaration requests the power of attorney be filed under seal because it "concerns matters of personal privacy for the my [sic] husband, me, and my family."

Should appellant wish to file the document under seal, he must submit an application that complies with California Rules of Court, rule 8.46(d). The court stresses that it may order a record filed under seal "only if it makes the findings required by rule 2.550(d)-(e)." (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.46(d)(6).) Rule 2.550(c) provides, "Unless confidentiality is required by law, court records are presumed to be open." (Italics added.)

Appellant's request for an extension of time to October 19, 2015, to file an opening brief is granted.

The court understands from Ms. Ayres's declaration that she intends to secure replacement counsel at her "earliest opportunity." She is urged to do so forthwith, as any further requests for extensions of time will be disfavored.

Attorney Mark Vermeulen has requested that this order be served on him and co-counsel Katherine Alfieri "via automatic e-mail notification." The court's notification system does not include orders of this sort; however, it directs the clerk of the court to forward an electronic copy of this order to both attorneys as a courtesy. In the future, they may check the status of the case on the court's website: http://appellatecases.courtinfo.ca.gov/.

  1. Someone in San Mateo County ordered a major purge of all juvenile records in August 2009. Who ordered it? This happened just days after the first Ayres trial ended in a mistrial. Many of the former juveniles whose files were destroyed are in their 50s. The County and District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe had received many, many requests from the press about the records of the juveniles who were sent to Ayres. Instead of reviewing all of the cases where juveniles were evaluated by Ayres, the county destroyed them so the press would never see them.

    Was the county legally permitted to destroy these files during an ongoing criminal case? Was it Mr. Wagstaffe who ordered the destruction? Seems like he told the press his office never hired Ayres, which was complete balderdash. The County knows full well that hundreds of juveniles they sent to Ayres were molested by him between 1963 -2003 and now they are doing everything they can to silence and discredit them. But to quote the "honorable" Marta Diaz , "it will all come out." We will learn who ordered the destruction of the juvenile files.

  2. Former child psychiatrist Donald Lee Rife, who lost his medical license and was run out of three states- Vermont, Massachusetts and Connecticut ,for molesting boy patients is still whooping it up in Florida with his boating group. Wonder if he is still teaching kids power boating? At least he's not still a docent with kids at the Salvador Dali Museum.. From a boating newsletter:
