________________________________

B. NATURE OF CASE

Plaintiff believes that all Defendants engaged in a willful and malicious attempt to destroy him financially; to defame him publicly and privately; to influence, coerce, bribe witnesses in a discrimination complaint brought by the defendant; influenced others through bribery/intimidation/undo influence to NOT investigate criminal complaints brought against them by the Plaintiff.



Plaintiff also believes all defendants used their influence to prevent any investigations of these events by Federal Enforcement Agencies.



Plaintiff also believes that all defendants interfered with his rights to practice his religion, when it did not impact them negatively in any way.



Plaintiff also believes that all Defendants have caused him and his wife, Mary; children and others that rely or relied on him for financial support, irreparable and irreversible harm.



Plaintiff believes that all Defendants have violated Federal R.I.C.O. statutes in their attempts to deny him his Civil Rights.



Plaintiff believes that all defendants unlawfully interfered with and prevented him from exercising his rights of due process.



Plaintiff believes that all defendants committed actions that can only be defined as grossly retaliatory and that they do pose a current threat to his physical, emotional and financial well-being.



_________________________________________________



(1) Count I: Unlawful Contract- Defendants Farmers Insurance, Paul Hopkins, Marty Feinstein, Brian Cohen, Brian Braddock, William Braddock, Curt Windhorst, Jill Beard.



(2) Supporting Facts: Defendants used intimidation, bribery and fraud to persuade Plaintiff to sign a settlement agreement for damages inflicted prior to 10/15/02. Plaintiff and 9 other individuals filed a discrimination complaint against Brian Braddock on or about 8/02. Defendant deposed Plaintiffs and used the depositions to force or bribe most of the complainants into withdrawing or settling their complaints.



Defendants, Outside of Plaintiffs awareness bribed defendant Jill Beard with a lucrative contract and payments from Farmers Financial services to abandon her complaint and defame and destroy Plaintiff financially. None, of which was known by the Plaintiff, when he entered into the settlement agreement. Plaintiff was forced to hire multiple attorneys and was awarded a Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction against Jill Beard in 12/02-1/03. She created tens of thousands of dollars in damage to the Plaintiff before the Injunction was awarded.



b. (1) Count II: Unlawful Interference with Plaintiff’s attempts to obtain proper Attorney Representation: All defendants



(2) Supporting Facts: It took three separate attorneys, before the Plaintiff was able to secure and file a Preliminary Injunction and TRO against Jill Beard. Plaintiff has been unable to secure council, at any cost, since then.



c. Count III: Abuse of Office in an attempt to deprive Plaintiff of his Civil Rights.



(2) Supporting Facts: Plaintiff has been unable to get any investigative support from Utah law enforcement in his attempts to prosecute defendants within Utah County for their criminal actions. Congressman Chris Cannon received no known donations from Farmers Insurance prior to 10/02. After speaking to Plaintiff and having Plaintiff fax over all of the documentation, Chris Cannon and/or David Safavian/Jack Abramoff and Joseph Cannon used the discrimination documents to solicit campaign contributions from defendants and their associates, and possibly have defendant Farmers Insurance pay off Chris Cannon’s 1.7 Million Dollar Campaign debt.



Count III: Gross and criminal retaliation against Plaintiff for Plaintiff’s efforts to seek justice.



(3) Supporting Facts: Termination of employment, interference with his business, harassment from government agencies, blackballing from Insurance Industry, defamation, slander and potentially, libel as well as almost every conceiveable form of harassment have plagued the Plaintiff as a result of the conspiracy entered into by all of the defendants.



Count IV: Unlawful interference with an EEOC complaint and investigation.



Supporting Facts: Plaintiff believes that Subpoenas ordered by the court will prove that defendants conspiracy denied him the right to a fair and impartial investigation by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. He was awarded a right to sue letter, but his attempts to secure proper representation were influenced and thwarted by the defendants.

How have you been injured by the actions of the defendant(s)?


(a) As a result of the criminal actions of the defendants -plaintiff has suffered the loss of his employment as a President’s Council District Manager which provided gross income in excess of $250,000.

Go get em tiger. I hope Farmers gets what they deserve. I was systematically harrassed by the State Offie and especially by an overbearing, intimidating DM that made my life miserable from the day his sorry behind took over our district. I have not suffered the monetary loss as indicated in this lawsuit; however I did suffer dramatically in my contract value and smoke and mirrors underwriting bonuses. I was harrassed nonstop even though I was going through some very troubling personal trevails by an ogre of a DM that was about as far removed from tact as a horses behind is from talcum powder.

I represented a very fine company called Farmers Insurance Group when it was headed by decent people like Leo Denlea and fine DM's and DMM's and regional sales managers and underwiting managers that actually had some empathy for one another. I did not resist change for the sake of effeciency and progress; however, change for change sake is not always progress. Even though I am long gone from Farmers; I do hope and pray that Farmers returns to a bit of sanity and starts treating their life blood; ie. the agent, with some dignity and respect.

I am liberated. Free at last; free at last; thank God Almighty I am free at last.

Is Drockton an FBI mole?????

An anonymous tipster reported to one of our members a very interesting bit of possible Information. It appears that Mr. Drockton was recruited by the FBI in the 1980s while working on his Masters degree. He was asked to run for mayor in the midst of a huge scandal in Parma, Ohio politics that involved a drug/gambling ring directed from city hall.

According to our source, the FBI helped him secure employment (with Farmers Insurance????) and even directed individuals to donate to his campaign! He never ran for office before, but raised close to $40,000!!!! At 29 years of age!!!

Four years later he was asked to run again, and helped break up a money laundering gang! When things got too hot, and his life was in danger, he relocated to Fort Wayne, Indiana where he laid low and built the #1 District in the State, for Farmers Insurance. Our informant tells us that Drockton still did investigative work and helped break open two major cases that involved crooked members of the Mormon Church!

The same anonymous source claims that Drockton was asked to come to Utah! He won't say why, but he said that we shouldn't expect Drockton to settle with ANYBODY, or for the case to ever make it to a CIVIL jury!!!

"Anybody that thinks this was all one big coincidence is a blind fool," he stated, "we've been trying to break into Utah since that car bomb thing."

"He's a skilled attorney without the J.D. Whatever he's got will come out during interrogatories or in open court, then look for the Big Boys to step in. Sad thing is, he'll be useless to us after that point. Too much publicity. Everyone in the country will know who he is. He'll probably have to retire. I hear he likes it in Saint George."

On a government pension???

CAN ANYBODY VERIFY THIS????

Just to make one thing clear, Mr drockton did not "build" the number one disctrict in Indiana. The district was open and he gladly took it, hell it
has the top two producers in the state that go to Presidents Counsel every
year, he "inherited" the number two district in the state, and it was
number two when he had it and it was number two when he left it and it is
still number two in the state. 90% of the producers were there when he got
the district, i don't know of any big producers that he added, except in
his own mind maybe.
He did nothing outstanding, he got to go to the clubs because he had the
agents already there that put him there, period. Let me be real clear he
never appointed any agent that went to P.C. they where there and are still
there.
I don't know anything about Utah, but in Indiana he wasn't what he thinks
he was.

Dear Dav 1075 (Hopkins Employee of the Year):

We checked the contents of your post...

Larry Elliot was unprofitable by over 1 million dollars when Drockton took over the District and hadn't been to PC for quite a while. Ron Wise had never gone to PC. The District averaged (about) 75 count per month, was unprofitable and had not seen any new agents for quite some time.

Drockton helped agent Tom Gerbers go from 0 life production to over one of the top producers in the State! He also helped him go from 1500 to over 3000 PIF!!! He had been at 1500 for years!!!

Larry Elliot knows Drockton helped him become one of the most profitable agents in the company and got him back to PC. Don't worry!!! We will be posting all of the documentation on our website. We understand that Mr. Drockton has accumulated many letters of accolades which we will also post.

If he was not #1 then why did the State Executive give him the State of Indiana Manager of the Year Award for 2-3 straight years? Why did Marty Feinstein give him a personal gift of a laptop computer? Why did he win so many awards as an agent?

We recommend you write a note to yourself....Farmers can't bribe, intimidate or fire everyone that knows the truth about Drockton; or the truth about Brian Braddock and Paul Hopkins for that matter.

Paul Drockton was one of the best District Managers In Utah, and, the numbers prove it. He recruited and licensed 9 new Farmers Agents in the first 5 months he was in Utah. His quota was 7 for the entire year! That meant Drockton was on track to put on 18-20 new agents for 2002. He was recruiting the equavalent of some small states!!! He was also extremely profitable and excelled in every measureable area! See the documents for yourself!

[journals.aol.com]

Paul Drockton was fired for filing a discrimination complaint against Brian Braddock, whose brother was the Chairman of Farmers Group Inc.! Its just that simple! He was the District Manager that every State Executive dreamed about! But, Brian Braddock was a Mormon hater and Farmers covered for his crimes!

Farmers Insurance clearly and blatantly slandered/defamed this guy! See for yourself!

[journals.aol.com]

He built an insurance agency from nothing; became one of the best in the entire company; and Farmers says thank you until Brian Braddock decides to persecute him for his Mormon Religion. We are told there will be plenty more NEW stuff to come!

Oh well, good luck with the jury, Hopkins!

Was Drockton an FBI Investigator?

Paul Drockton came from nowhere and almost won a mayors race in a city the size of Provo, Utah. He raised a lot of money, generated a lot of publicity and almost won the election. Defeating a 20 year incumbant and almost defeating the sitting Mayor in a 3 way race.

"That wasn't the point," explained our source, "he was never supposed to win."

The FBI was very interested in Parma, Ohio. Cocaine was being sold out of city hall and a "high-stakes gambling operation" was being run out of the police department.

"We needed a credible unknown to help us identify potential informants. People are drawn to dark-horse politicians and tend to give them the "dirt." Drockton brought down the Parma mafia. When they found out what was really going on he had to relocate. It took em awhile. By the time they figured it out he was in Indiana."

These newly obtained documents seem to support the story.

[journals.aol.com]

"We got away with using him twice. The second time he ran for mayor he got the former risk manager to spill his guts. We almost put City Council and the Mayor in jail over that one. They had to send the Parma Law Director to (Janet) Reno to shut us down (Laughs)."
