| November 2000 – As of now, the trial date is set tentatively for
April 3, 2001 in the State of Nevada, Las Vegas District Court II. Any

| September 15, 2000 - District Court Approved motion to remove Daniel
Orr’s Attorneys, Rawlings, Olson, Cannon, Gormley & Desruisseaux, from
this case due to Conflict of Interest. |
| September 11, 2000 - Daniel Orr’s Attorneys send Jamie to Lewis
M. Etcoff, Ph.D., A.B.P.N. (psychologist) for a psychological examination.
Jamie described to them what Daniel Orr did to her. |
| September 7, 2000 - Went to Coroners office and talked to Larry
Simms, Chief Medical Examiner. I was referred to him by the Las Vegas Fire
Department in 1999. I had showed Mr. Simms the videotape of Jamie in 1999.
I also asked him if he would testify for Jamie in Court. He stated yes.
I went back on September 7, 2000 to inform him of our new trial date, verifying
that he would keep his promise and testify for Jamie in Court. Again, he
said yes. |
| August 31, 2000 - Sent Jonathon Hendricks, of the law firm David
Allen & Associates, former attorney, a certified letter asking him for
an itemized list of expenses he and his firm had spent on my daughter’s
case. I also asked him to please itemize the thousands of dollars I had
already given him that was suppose to be used for depositions that were
never done. I have never heard from either Jonathon Hendricks or David Allen
& Associates concerning my request to this day. |
| August 10, 2000 – Alan Fenton, our new attorney, filed motions
to have Rawlings, Olson, Cannon, Gormley & Desruisseaux, and Daniel
Orr’s Attorneys, removed from the case Due to Conflict of Interest. Alan
also had motions filed to have the lien that was placed by David Allen and
Associates against Jamie’s settlement dismissed. |
| August 9, 2000 - Received a letter approving decision from Nevada
Supreme Court. Apparently, the opposing side did not appeal the decision. |
| July 18, 2000 - Talked to William Casidy from Mayor Goodman’s office.
He had called and left messages to call him. He stated that he was going
to make some calls and see if he could get me in to see Sheriff Keller.
|
| July 12, 2000 - Received Nevada Supreme Court Ruling. It stated
“ORDER DENYING PETION FOR WRIT OF MANDAMUS OR PROHIBITION”. We won! However,
they denied my motion to take Daniel Orr’s Attorneys off the case due to
CONFLICT OF INTEREST. The Supreme Court stated that the disqualification
motion should be submitted first to the district court, so that was my next
step! |
| June 27, 2000 - Called Nevada Supreme court at 8:50.am. Talked
to Linda Custilk. She stated that yes a letter from the law firm of David
Allen & Associates had arrived stating that they no longer represented
Jamie Farrar. |
| June 26, 2000 - Called Nevada Supreme Court at 8:34a.m. Was told
that it was still early and that nothing had come in as of yet. |
| June 9, 2000 - Called Nevada Supreme court and asked if they had
ever received any answers from Jonathon Hendricks or David Allen & Associates
concerning Jamie’s case. The Supreme Court still thought this law firm
was representing Jamie since they had never received a notice from them
stating they were no longer her attorneys. I was told they had not heard
anything from this law firm. I was also told that a letter would be sent
out to them and that they would have until June 26,2000 to answer it. |
| June7-9, 2000 - Called and left message for Stephanie to call me
back. |
| May 27, 2000 - Received letter from Nevada Supreme Court stating
that they had received my answers. |
| May 25, 2000 - Went to Mayor Goodman’s office to finally talk to
him about Jamie’s case. However, I never saw him. I was taken into a conference
room where I met with Stephanie. She said that she was there to see exactly
what I had and that she would relay everything back to Mayor Goodman. I
showed Stephanie the falsified officer’s report and gave her a copy of Jamie’s
video and web site. I also told her about the Nevada State Dental Board
audiotapes that I believed had been tampered with. She seemed very concerned
about my situation and said that she would make sure that Mayor Goodman
saw all the copies I had left with her and wished me a good day and then
showed me out. |
| May 22, 2000 - Called Nevada Supreme Court and talked to one of
the clerks. Asked her if she had received my answers. I was told it was
received. |
| May 19, 2000 - Talked to Stephanie, from Mayor Goodman’s office.
She stated that she needed to talk to me and that she was setting up an
appointment for me to talk to Mayor Goodman on May 25, 2000 at 8:30 a.m.
Told her that I would be there and thanked her for her time. |
| May 19, 2000 - Mailed my answers off to the Nevada Supreme Court. |
| May 16-18, 2000 - Took these days off work. I now only had less
then four days to have my answers completed and in the mail to the Nevada
Supreme Court. Usually twenty days are given to a client to reply. I worked
day and night to complete this task. |
| May 15, 2000 - Called William Cassidy’s office and spoke with Mr.
Cassidy at 9:07 a.m. and told him I had not yet heard from anybody at the
Mayor’s office. I told him I was still interested in making an appointment
to see the Mayor and he had promised to get me in to see him. Mr. Cassidy
said that he had told Stephanie to set up the appointment and that he would
talk to her again. |
| May 15, 2000 - Received a phone call from Alan Fenton at 2:10p.m.
Fenton stated that he received a letter from David Allen & Associates
stating that the Supreme Court sent a letter to their office asking for
Answers to the Writ that was filed. Fenton asked me if I knew anything
about it. He said the date on the letter was May 4, 2000. He also stated
that he sent me a copy of the letter and I should be getting it in a day
or two. I told him I had not heard anything. I also informed him that
the family had decided if the Supreme Court asked for ANSWERS who better
to give them then us, since we unable to find or afford an Attorney. I
was going to represent our daughter Pro-Per. That is exactly what I did.
If it had not been for Fenton’s letter to David Allen & Associates,
we would probably never have known that the Supreme Court was asking for
ANSWERS from us. David Allen & Associates must have held on to this
letter for at least several days. The moment they received this letter
from the Supreme Court, they should have contacted us immediately. It is
not as if they did not have our phone number or address. I believe this
was done intentionally in hopes that there would be no answer and the Supreme
Court would then grant the Writ for the other side. |
| May 13, 2000 - Received copy of letter Alan Fenton sent to the
ROC and to David Allen & Associates stating that he was the new Attorney
of Record; and that he wanted the ROC to withdraw their Writ and Allen &
Associates to withdraw their lien. Already our new Attorney was protecting
Jamie’s best interest and he did not even know if he would be on the case,
because the Supreme Court had not yet made a decision. |
| May 9, 2000 - Called William Cassidy at 4:30p.m. He stated that
Stephanie would be getting back to me to make an appointment. He stated
that he would have her call us in a few days. |
| May 8, 2000 - Met William Cassidy, the assistant to the Mayor of
Las Vegas, Oscar Goodman. Told him about Jamie’s Case and told him I would
like to make an appointment to see the Mayor. Gave him Jamie’s Web Site
and explained that to him that I believed that there had been some mistakes
made in the investigating of Janie’s Case and would like to discuss these
issues with the Mayor. I believed that Jamie’s Civil Rights were violated
and I wanted the City of Las Vegas to do something about it. After many
tries, I was still denied an appointment with Sheriff Jerry Keller. Edward
Kyle, Deputy chief, was not going to help. I was sure hoping that Oscar
Goodman, who knows the Law and knows that child abuse is against the LAW,
would be willing to help or at least put me in contact with the right people
that could. Especially since this was a child we were talking about! Mr.
Cassidy gave me his number and told me he would get me in to see Las Vegas
Mayor, Oscar Goodman. He told me to call him the next day. |
| April 23, 2000 - Talked to Alan about the Supreme Court papers
I had received. He stated to me that I would not be able to do anything
about them until the Supreme Court asked for answers. He also stated that
he didn’t do Writs and that I would have to find an Attorney that did so
Writs if the Supreme Court asked for answers. Everything depended on what
was going to happen with the Supreme Court. Alan Fenton would be our new
Attorney of Record only if the Supreme Court denied the Writ and allowed
us to continue to trial. |
| April 21, 2000 - Met with Alan Fenton and his wife. This man became
very concerned that no one had done anything to help this little girl.
The family decided that this Attorney not only was concerned about the case
and what had been done, or should I say not been done, but was concerned
for Jamie. This would be the Attorney that would show other Attorney’s
that first you must care about your client before you could protect your
client. Alan Fenton was the Attorney that we believed was going to bring
our faith back in our Legal System. For the first time in six years, Jamie
had faith in her Attorney! She seemed to trust this man, even though it
was hard to do. Alan Fenton and his wife assured Jamie and our family they
would do their best to protect Jamie. For once, we all believed they would.
We believed our prayers were now going to be answered. |
| April 15-20, 2000 - Trying to find an Attorney who will take over
this case. Everyone I called said that there was a CONFLICT OF INTEREST,
and would not be able to help me. Finally called the Nevada State Bar and
was given the name of an Attorney that practiced in California as well as
Nevada. This call would change our lives. I gave Alan Fenton a call.
His number is 702-254-5200. |
| April 14, 2000 - Received in the mail a copy of Daniel Orr’s Petition
for Writ of Mandamus or Writ of Prohibition; that was filed by the ROC with
Nevada’s Supreme Court. Case No: 35962. According to the papers, they
were asking for Judge Stephen Huffaker to be reinstated on the case and
for him to be forced to enforce the alleged Settlement that was denied them
in the lower Court. |
| April 12, 2000 - Received in mail lien papers from former Attorney
Jonathon Hendricks. The firm of David Allen & Associates was filing
a lien against the settlement of Jamie’s Case. This is the same Law Firm,
who would not represent and protect Jamie in Court. The same Law Firm that
never took Daniel Orr’s deposition, or any of his office staff’s depositions.
The same Law Firm who actually went against the client they were representing
in Court. The same Law Firm that coerced us into Mediation in the first
place. The same Law Firm that wouldn’t let their clients eat a nutritional
meal during a 10 hour Mediation which sent one of his clients to intensive
care for several days. |
| March 27, 2000 - A hearing was held before Judge Stephen Huffaker.
Judge Huffaker denied the Enforcement of the Settlement. He then recrused
himself from the case and strongly suggested that Jonathan Hendricks of
the Law Firm of David Allen & Associates should also recruse himself
due to his conduct in the hearing. |
| March 24, 2000 - Filed Affidavit of Brenda Farrar with District
Court. Gave copies to all parties involved. |
| March 15, 2000 - David Allen & Associates called and said they
had a letter from the ROC that was faxed over to them. I picked up a copy
of this letter from Jonathon. The letter stated that there would be a closed
hearing set for March 27, 2000 at 1:30 p.m. on the Motion to Enforce Settlement
Agreement (alleged) that the ROC had filed with the Court. Told Jonathon
I still didn’t have an attorney and that I was planning on representing
my daughter and I was going to make sure that her best interests were protected. |
| January 10, 2000 - Received call from David Allen & Associates
at 9:00a.m. We were told that Mr. Allen would be able to see us at 11:00a.m.
At 10:00a.m the office calls again and said that if we wanted to see Mr.
Allen we would have to be at the office by 10:30a.m because Mr. Allen had
to be at the airport by 11:00a.m.and he would be able to squeeze us in for
a few minutes. We arrived at 10:20a.m. We waited until 10:40a.m.tobe seen.
When we finally did speak with Mr. Allen we were told that there was nothing
his Law Firm would do to help us in fighting this alleged Settlement. However,
he stated that if by chance we won, his firm would still be there to represent
Jamie in trial. |
| January 7, 2000 - Arrived at David Allen & Associates. We told
Jonathan we were having trouble finding an attorney that would help us fight
the alleged Settlement because of a Conflict of Interest. Again Jonathan
tried to get us to sign the alleged Settlement papers. Again we told him
no. We asked where David Allen was and Jonathon told us he would have to
get back to us when Mr. Allen was available. |
| January 5, 2000 - Called David Allen & Associates at 9:45a.m.left
message on voice mail. Called again at 2:00p.m.was placed on hold for 22
minutes. Finally Jonathon answers phone and sets an appointment for Friday
the 7th at 1:00p.m. |
| January 4, 2000 - Called David Allen & Associates left message.
Wanted to make appointment with David Allen himself. Was told Jonathon
would call us back. Never called back. |
