EXHIBIT A

UNDERSTANDING THE DUAL ORDERS

SINCE THE LAST EVIDENTIARY HEARING ON JULY 21, 2000.

One evidentiary hearing on July 21, 2000 resulted in two different orders—

those rendered on July 21, 2000 and those signed on June 10, 2005.

How Did This Happen? On July 21, 2000, Judge Campbell heard evidence and, after heated

discussion, continued the Temporary Orders with modification until a final hearing could be held.

Those Orders were not signed for five years. Five years later, on June 10, 2005, Michael Floreani, Mr.

Loza’s attorney, provided final orders for signature and fraudulently styled them to represent the

hearing in 2000. As a result, Mr. Floreani’s orders legalized actions for which Mr. Loza was

previously in contempt under Judge Campbell’s Orders. For example, for the same five-year period,

withholding counseling from the children would have been both prosecutable under Judge Campbell’s

Orders and allowable under Mr. Loza’s (retroactive) orders.

Was It Preventable? Although Ms. Barstow protested Mr. Loza’s version of the orders, she was

unable to prevent their being signed due to a Disability that prevents her from entering the courthouse

—her requests for Accommodations and Next Friend had been denied. Meaningfully, Ms. Barstow

had previously provided orders that followed Judge Campbell’s transcript and sought to have them

signed, but was told by the court they could only be signed in a hearing—that she could not attend.

Transcripts and signed orders are available in their entirety.

JUDGE CAMPBELL’S ORDERS

Rendered on July 21, 2000

MR. LOZA’S ORDERS

Signed on June 10, 2005

These excerpts from a transcript of Judge

Campbell’s ruling in 2000.

Mr. Loza changed the nature and content

of the orders to benefit himself.

NATURE OF THE ORDERS

What Judge Campbell ordered (2000):

What Mr. Loza wrote (2005):

• modified the Temporary Orders until a final

hearing could be held

COURT: I’m going to modify the temporary

orders to this extent: ...

(pg. 31, lines 11-12)

Mr. Floreani: ...and I guess we could have a hearing

on it later or else you have the discretion also to

end the temporary orders.

COURT: I would suggest that we discuss that—

bring that up at a later hearing until we can get

some of these other issues ironed out and get these

folks on a regular schedule.

(pg. 36-37, lines 23-25 and 1-10)

• entered Final Orders granting himself sole

custody

NOTE: Ms. Barstow originally had sole custody.

Joint custody had been ruled out because of the

history of high conflict.

It had been brought up and discussed during the

course of the hearing that the visiting judge had no

legal standing to transfer sole custody from one

parent to the other without just cause; such cause

was never presented. To leave conservatorship with

Mr. Loza, the judge had no legal choice but to

continue the temporary orders with modifications.

Thus when Mr. Floreani offered the option of ending

the temporary orders or having a later hearing ,

Judge Campbell replied that the matter would be

continued in a later hearing.
