IN THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF THE CITY OF RENO

COUNTY OF WASHOE STATE OF NEVADA

CITY OF RENO,Plaintiff,

vs

ZACHARY BARKER COUGHLIN,Defendant.

~ /

ORDER FINDING THE DEFENDANTIN CONTEMPT OF COURT AND

A trial was held in Reno Municipal Court on Febrwuy 27, 2012 on a traffic citation

issued to the defendant, ZACHARY BARKER COUGHLIN. He was initially charged with

three offenses alleged to have occulTed on November 15, 20 I I in the City of Reno. At the

onset of the trial it was detennined that Failure to Provide Evidence of Security or Insurance

(a violation of RMC 6.06.555(a) WId Failure to Provide Vehicle Registration (a violation of

RMC 6.06.560(a) were both dismissed at arraignment after the defendant establislied that he

had complied with both code sections but simply had not carried the documentation with him

in the vehicle on that day.' The remaining charge, a Right of Way Stop Sign violation at W

intersection, known as a Boulevard Stop (rolling through a Stop Sign WId not stopping

completely), 8 violation of RMC 6.06.170(a), was the subject of the trial.

. .•• ~ . . . . . . ._-_ •__ _ .-

defendant, a licensed attorney, represented himself. Reno Police Sergeant John Toner was the

2 sole witness. The court had the defendant sworn at the beginning of the trial, stating that the

3court has found that most self-represented defendants tend to testilY a great deal as they cross-

4

5

examine opposing witnesses, so the defendant would be under oath from the start, too. No

6exhibits were marked or admitted.

7 The matter was called at approximately 3 :00 p.m. and concluded without a verdict about

8 4:30 p.m. after the court held the defendant in criminal contempt of court for his behavior and

9activities committed in the direct presence oflhis court dwing the trial.

10The court finds that defendant's contemptuous conduct consisted of his rude, sarcastic,

I I

12

inappropriate, insubordinate, disrespectful, antagonistic, deceitful, disruptive, argumentlltive

13and childish behavior during trial, all of which ppe red to be done to vex and annoy the

14 court, the witness, and the opposing party, and to disrupt the trial process. The court finds

15 that the following occurred, and constitute contempt: I) defendant's mime-like, clownish

16antics of making faces at the court; sagging down into his seat and banging his head; looking

17behind himself and inside his coat as if searching for a better way to ask a question; rolling

18

19his eyes; and mimicking others words; 2) defendant 's incessant arguing with the court,

20 talking over the court, and interrupting be court; 3) defendant' s repeatedly restating matters

21 after being told by the court to move on or "ask the next question;" 4) defendant's

22 repeatedly injecting allegations of bribery, pedury, and police reta1iation into the matter after

23the court instructed him not to, and directed him to limit himself to issues pertaining to the

24

25facts of the "Boulevard Stop;" 5) defendant's repeatedly trying to insert "Richard Hill" into

26 his questions and statements when such person was not relevant to the proceedings and the

27 defendant had been ordered to stop discussing that; 6) defendant's disregarding the rules of

28 evidence and court procedure by continually posing improper questions after being directed

'0.. . .:0-' . , . .

2

0181



by the court to properly phrase his questions; 7) defendant's continually accusing the court

2 of denying him the right or ability to ask questions and telling the court to give me a list of

3questions you want me to ask; 8) defendant's suggesting that the court tell me what

4

5would make you happy; 9) defendant 's lying to the court in response to direct questions

6posed by the court with regard to his recording the proceedings; and 10) defendant's failing

7 and refusing to properly examine the witness, despite numerous admonitions by the court to

8 stop repeating questions, misstating answers, injecting irrelevant material, arguing with the

9witness and mischaracterizing the testimony.

10The court finds that the defendant's actions were intentional and done in utter disregard

12and contempt for the court, and in the presence of the court, for purposes of disrupting and .

13delaying the proceedings and dishonoring the rule oflaw and this court, and constilute the

14 misdemeanor of criminal contempt, a violation ofNRS 22.010. Good cause appearing

15 therefore, the following sanctions are imposed:

16IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to NRS 22.100, that the defendanl be incarceraled at the

17

18Washoe County Regional Detention Facility for the term of five (5) days, from the time he

19 was laken inlo custody on this court's order on Februwy 27,2012, and thai sentence shall not

20 be reduced for any reason. n the alternative, the defendanl rnay pay a fme of 500 10 the

Defendant.

SUA SPO TE ORD ER DE v G RELIEF SO GHT IN fMl ROP ER DOC ME T

On March 7, 2012, at I :58 p.m., defendant Zachary Barker Coughlin, an attorney and

self-represented Litigant in the instant traffic citation case, began fax -filing a 224-page

document to the Reno Municipal Court purponing to seek variou and sundry types of relief

from this court on a ·Boul :vard top traffic citation matter. He labeled his docwnent otice

of Appeal of ummary Contempt Order; Motion to Return Personal Property Confiscated by

Reno unicipaJ Court and Its Mar hals; Motion for ew Trial and to Alter or Amend

ummary Contempt Order. aid document was filed by the Clerk of the Coun, after much

disruption to the court operations .

The court herein issues this Order sua sponte to prevent the plaintiff, Reno City

Anomey, from devoting any additional time or re ources to thi document, and to relieve the

plaint iff from any burden of attempting to respond to said docwnenl. Likewise, the court staff

relieved of any obligation to further deal with thi aberrant document.

The court find that the defendant has failed to follow proper legal procedure in

preparin and filing a mice of Appeal, or motion with appropriate citations to the record, the

facts and the applicable law, and argument thereof, and has blatantly abused the court ' s fax

ftIing process offered for the convenience of parties appearing in this court. Furthermore, the

document filed by Mr. Coughlin appears to contain a series of disjointed legal ramblings

plucked from online resources that are neither relevant nor applicable to the matters in this case.

IT I ORDERED that any and all relief sought by the defendant Zachary Barker

Coughlin in the above-described document is denied; at such time as Mr. Coughlin files a

correct and proper motion or notice, his legal documents will be considered by the coun.

IT [S F RTH R ORDERED that Zachary Barker Coughlin shall refrain from, and is

hereby barred and prohibited from faxi ng any documents to Reno Municipal COUll.

IT I ALS O ORDERED that if Zachary Barker Coughl in wishes to file documents in

Reno Municipal Court on any maller assignedto

Department 3, he must present signed

original only, in appropriate legal form and format, limited to no more than 15 pages in length,

and before they are filed, the clerk of the coun hall present them to this court for re iew in

chambers, and thi court will make a pre-filing determination if they can be filed by the clerk.

hereto as Exhibit I to this Order.

This court flllds that said do cument is an errant. altered. and inappropriate document

that houJd not have been filed by the clerk of this court. This cowi further finds that Zach

rules of procedure known to all attorneys who pract ice law in this court. and that. in do ing o

he was taking advantage of the fact that it is standard court procedure for the clerk of the

court to au tomatically file all documents that are faxed to the court for filing. Therefore. the

above-described document is a fugitive document.

IT IS ORDERED that the fugitive document filed as Requ est for Aud io Recording.

etc hall be tricken from the record in this case and shall be disregarded by the parties and

staff in this coun.

Dated thi 13th day of March. 2012 .
