Filed pro se across the California state court system — top to bottom.
This page is the firm's accountability surface. Every entry below is independently verifiable through public dockets. The headline credential is breadth: as a pro se litigant Dustin L. Clemons has filed documents in California state trial court, the California Court of Appeal, and the California Supreme Court — every level of the California state court system. He has also filed pro se in federal trial court and at the Ninth Circuit. The California Supreme Court is the highest court at which he has filed. Some filings have produced wins on the record. Some have been denied. Both are listed honestly below.
Filing footprint — every level, every jurisdiction
Most attorneys, even after years of practice, have not filed at every level of California jurisdiction. Dustin L. Clemons has. The procedural knowledge of how each court accepts filings — formatting, service rules, electronic-filing portals, judicial-notice procedures, motion-practice tempo — is built only by doing it. He has done it at all six.
| Jurisdiction | Level | Where he has filed | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| State | Trial | Los Angeles Superior Court (LASC) — 25STCV11123 | Active — trial 2027 |
| State | Intermediate appellate | California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District — B347751, B349200, B350299 | Multiple petitions ruled on |
| State | Supreme | California Supreme Court — Petition for Review filed (highest filing on record) | Pro se filing on record |
| Federal | Trial | U.S. District Court, Central District of California — 5:25-cv-01404 (RICO), 5:25-cv-03000 (§ 1983) | Active / on appeal |
| Federal | Intermediate appellate | U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit — 25-6944 | Fully briefed pro se · pending |
Wins on the record — trial court motion practice
These are docket-verified motion outcomes in favor of the pro se plaintiff at the trial-court level in the LASC matter. They speak to motion-practice competence in California state trial court — the same competence Clemons Wright's risk-management service line transfers to clients.
| Date | Outcome | Matter | Court |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-07-30 | BNSF anti-SLAPP motion DENIED (Cause 7 — Defamation) | LASC 25STCV11123 | LASC — Stanley Mosk, Dept 30 |
| 2025-10-23 | Preliminary Injunction GRANTED | LASC 25STCV11123 | LASC — Stanley Mosk, Dept 30 |
| 2025-12-04 | Sequoia Consultants' Petition for Writ of Mandate DENIED — defense team's appellate challenge to a favorable LASC discovery order rejected by the Court of Appeal | Court of Appeal B350299 (related to LASC 25STCV11123) | Cal. Court of Appeal, 2d District, Div. 3 |
| 2026-05-01 | Motion to Withdraw Deemed Admissions GRANTED | LASC 25STCV11123 | LASC — Stanley Mosk, Dept 30 |
Adverse rulings on the record — appellate
Honesty is the credibility currency at this firm. Not every filing produced a favorable ruling. At the California Court of Appeal, two of Dustin's pro se writ petitions were denied. Both denials are public record, listed here for the same reason the wins are listed: this firm tells the truth about its founder's record.
| Date | Outcome | Petition | Court |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025-07-24 | Petition for Writ of Mandate DENIED "for failure to demonstrate entitlement to extraordinary relief" | Court of Appeal B347751 (Clemons v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County) | Cal. Court of Appeal, 2d District, Div. 3 |
| 2025-10-02 | Petition for Writ of Mandate DENIED "for failure to demonstrate entitlement to extraordinary relief" | Court of Appeal B349200 (Clemons v. Superior Court of Los Angeles County) | Cal. Court of Appeal, 2d District, Div. 3 |
Writ petitions at the intermediate appellate level are summary denied at a high rate even when filed by experienced appellate counsel. The procedural-knowledge value is the same whether the petition is granted or denied — knowing how to file, format, serve, and word-count an appellate writ is the experience that transfers to clients.
Pending in the 9th Circuit RICO appeal (active matter #2)
| Filing | Court | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Opening Brief filed pro se 2025-12-09 | 9th Cir. 25-6944 | Fully briefed |
| Reply Brief filed pro se 2026-02-17 (against defense team) | 9th Cir. 25-6944 | Fully briefed |
| Motion for Limited Remand (Rule 60(b) — newly-discovered evidence) filed 2026-04-01 | 9th Cir. 25-6944 | Pending |
Many of these matters do not surface in conventional search engines because LASC and the Ninth Circuit
migrated to JavaScript-rendered portals (LASC portal; ca9-portal.powerappsportals.us) that
crawlers cannot deep-index, and because federal trial-court text is paywalled behind PACER. The cases
and orders cited above are real and verifiable via the California Court of Appeal e-filing portal,
PACER, CourtListener, and Justia.

Decided history — already concluded at the level cited
These matters are no longer on the active calendar. They are listed because they are public record and because the procedural-knowledge value of the filings transfers to clients regardless of outcome.
