1) Summary, which outlines the basis of the criminal complaint
in general terms, and provides an overview of the key facts
that comprise a violation of the statutes listed therein;
2) Descriptive narrative, which explains the nature of the
crimes complained of in requisite detail, and supports the

exhibits attached hereto; and,
3) Exhibits, which describes the relevance of each exhibit to
the claims made herein this criminal complaint, and points to
the specific parts of the exhibits that correspond to the
claims made therein.
Summary. This is a criminal complaint brought by James Alan Bush
(hereinafter "complainant"), a pretrial detainee being held by the
Santa Clara County Department of Correction, against MaryAnn Barry
(hereinafter "BARRY"), Associate Director, Santa Clara Valley
Health & Hospital Systems, for perjury, in violation of Penal Code
§ 118a, which, in relevant part, states:
Any person who, in any affidavit taken before any person authorized to administer oaths…declares…that he will testify…before any competent tribunal…in any case then pending…to any particular fact, and in such affidavit willfully and contrary to such oaths states as true any material matter which he knows to be false, is guilty of perjury.
In any prosecution under this section, subsequent testimony of such in any action involving the matters in such affidavit contained, which is contrary to any of the matters in such affidavit contained, shall be prima facie evidence that the matters in such affidavit were false.
Complainant alleges that BARRY, in a sworn declaration
administered under oath by Neysa Fligor (hereinafter "FLIGOR"),
Deputy Counsel, Santa Clara County Counsel, who is duly authorized
to administer such oaths, declared that she would testify before
the Superior Court of California in a case in which the
complainant petitioner the court for redress for the refusal by
the Santa Clara County Department of Correction to provide the
same specialized treatment and care for his life-threatening
illness, i.e., HIV/AIDS, that is otherwise afforded to all
similarly situated inmates, that the complainant had received such
treatment, in spite of her knowledge to the contrary, committing
perjury thereby, and thus causing the petitioner to be wrongfully
denied.
In subsequent testimony in a related civil matter brought in
the United States District Court, BARRY stated in her answer to
interrogatories propounded upon her by the complainant that he did
not receive any specialized treatment and care for HIV/AIDS as
described in her sworn declaration, constituting prima facie
evidence that proves the contradictory statement made therein was
false.
This is also a criminal complaint brought against FLIGOR for
subornation of perjury, in violation of Penal Code § 127, which,
in relevant part, states that:
Every person who willfully procures another p e r s o n t o c o m m i t p e r j u r y i s g u i l t y o f subornation of perjury.
Complainant alleges that, as the legal representative of the
Santa Clara County Department of Correction, FLIGOR procured BARRY
to make the aforedescribed false statement in her sworn
declaration in order to cause the dismissal of the petition, and
that this was a willful act on the part of FLIGOR, in that the
complainant's medical records were readily available to both
FLIGOR and BARRY, allowing them to easily ascertain whether the
complainant had received the specialized treatment and care that
was the subject of the petition, and also in that FLIGOR knew that
the only viable defense to the allegation made in the petition
would be that the complainant had received such care.
Descriptive narrative. On August 1st, 2010, the complainant filed
a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus in the Superior Court of
California under case number EE605073, which alleged that:
1) a contractor for the Santa Clara County Department of
Correction, namely, Dr. Dean Winslow, M.D., P.A.C.E. Clinic,
who, as the sole provider of specialized treatment and care
of HIV/AIDS for HIV-positive inmates, refused to provide such
treatment and care to the complainant subsequent to March
8th, 2010, in retaliation for the complainant having filed a
lawsuit against him; and,
2) Dr. Winslow refused to direct that alternative specialized
care be provided to the complainant in his stead.
The petition sought an order from the aforementioned court,
directing that the Santa Clara County Department of Correction
provide to the complainant the same specialized treatment and care
for HIV/AIDS that is otherwise afforded to all HIV-positive
inmates, which is necessary and essential for those suffering from
this life-threatening condition. [See Exhibit 1.]
On October 7th, 2010, the court, upon conducting a review of
the petition to evaluate its merit, and having found that the
petition stated a prima facie case for relief, ordered the Santa
Clara County Department of Correction, by and through its counsel
of record, the Santa Clara County Counsel, to file a response to
the petition. [See Exhibit 2.]
On October 22nd, 2010, FLIGOR filed a response to the
petition on behalf of the Santa Clara County Department of
Correction, containing a sworn declaration by BARRY, in which
BARRY declared, under penalty of perjury, that, prior to the
August 1st, 2010, filing of the petition, and subsequent to the
March 8th, 2010, termination of the doctor-patient relationship by
Dr. Winslow, the complainant received specialized treatment and
care for HIV/AIDS on March 17th, 2010, and July 30th, 2010, even
though the medical records she would had to have consulted in
order to make this determination do not support her statement, a
fact she later attested to in a separate legal proceeding;
moreover, in an attempt to obfuscate the issue presented in the
petition, specifically, that no specialized treatment and care for
HIV/AIDS was provided to the complainant, Dr. Winslow, upon being
served a copy of the aforementioned petition, ordered the
complainant to be seen by another physician specializing in the
treatment and care of HIV/AIDS on August 19th, 2010, which FLIGOR
and BARRY erroneously cited as proof that the allegation made by
the complainant was baseless, even though the physician referral
was made 18 days after the petition was filed. [See Exhibit 3 and
Exhibit 4.]
On November 9th, 2010, in spite of assertions made by the
complainant to the contrary, Judge Gilbert T. Brown denied the
petition based on the false statements made in the sworn
declaration by BARRY. [See Exhibit 5.]
On April 29th, 2011, in her answer to interrogatories
propounded upon BARRY by the complainant in a related civil suit,
which raises the same issues as presented therein the petition,
BARRY, by and through her counsel of record, FLIGOR, admits that
the complainant was not seen by any physician on March 17th, 2010,
and that on July 30th, 2010, the complainant was treated, rather,
by a regular jail physician, who does not specialize in the
treatment and care of HIV/AIDS, and who treated the complainant
for an issue not even related to HIV/AIDS; and, although a moot
point within the context of this criminal complaint, the answer to
the interrogatories by BARRY, when combined with the medical
records of the complainant (not attached), further evidence
prevarication on the part of BARRY and FLIGOR, in that the
aforedescribed answer to interrogatories and medical records show
that not all of the orders and recommendations made by the other
physician-specialist were implemented at the jail, effectively
rendering the provided treatment and care incomplete and
noncomprehensive. [See Exhibit 6.]
To-date, as a result of the wrongfully denied petition, the
complainant is still not receiving any specialized treatment and
care for HIV/AIDS, such as regularly scheduled visits to the
P.A.C.E. Clinic, for example, as was ordered by the physician-
specialist, but was not carried out at the jail.
Consequently, the complainant is seeking civil remedy in the
United States District Court under docket number 09-cv-01022 (PR)
RS; however, FLIGOR continues to make, and to procure others to
make, false statements in her filings in an attempt to obtain
another dismissal, all to the ongoing detriment to the health of
the complainant.
Accordingly, the complainant is hereby requesting that a
report be made by a qualified law enforcement officer and then be
filed with the appropriate law enforcement agency, and that such
report be submitted in a timely manner to the Santa Clara County
Office of the District Attorney.
Exhibits. In support of his criminal complaint, the complainant
attaches the following exhibits:
1) Exhibit 1: In the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus, the
complainant alleges that, subsequent to the March 8th, 2010,
termination of the doctor-patient relationship by Dr.
Winslow, and, by inference, until the August 1st, 2010,
filing of the petition, specialized treatment and care for
HIV/AIDS was unlawfully denied him.
2) Exhibit 2: Having determined that the complainant stated a
prima facie case for relief in the petition, the Superior
Court of California ordered the Santa Clara County Department
of Correction to file a response by and through their counsel
of record, the Santa Clara County Counsel.
3) Exhibit 3: On page 3, lines 6 through 8, of the Informal
Response to H abeas Corpus of County of Santa Clara, FLIGOR
claims that the complainant "received medical care for his
subject condition," i.e., HIV/AIDS, "at least three times
since the alleged incident," specifically, the aforementioned
termination of the doctor-patient relationship by Dr.
Winslow, "including treatment on March 17th, 2010, a week
after the alleged incident."
4) Exhibit 4: Likewise, on page 1, line 28, of her sworn
declaration, which was attached to the Informal Response
(above), BARRY states that the complainant "received
treatment for the medical condition he describes in his
claims on…March 17, 2010, July 30, 3010," and "August 19,
2010."
5) Exhibit 5: Instead of ordering an evidentiary hearing in
order to receive the conflict between the statements made by
the complainant and by FLIGOR and BARRY, in which medical
records could be presented to definitively settle the
dispute, Judge Gilbert T. Brown denied the petition based on
the false statement made by FLIGOR and BARRY.
6) Exhibit 6: In a related civil proceeding, which was held
subsequent to the wrongful denial of the petition, BARRY, in
her Response to Interrogatory No. 6, on page 14, states that
she has "not seen any records of a physician examination of
[the complainant] on 3/17/10," and that the complainant was
not examined by a P.A.C.E. Clinic physician, i.e., a
physician specializing in the treatment and care of HIV/AIDS,
on July 30th, 2010, as she implied in her sworn declaration,
rather, she stated that the complainant was treated by a
regular jail physician, who does not provide such specialized
treatment. Also, in her Response to Interrogatory No. 5, also
on page 14, she states that the complainant did not receive
any further specialized treatment after August 19th, 2010,
even though such treatment was ordered by a physician-
specialist.
