Bernath v. Lilyea, et al. updates

| July 24, 2016

Most of you are aware of the problems that we’ve had with Daniel A. Bernath, but allow me to summarize for the folks here who may be new – our readership has grown despite Mr Bernath’s best efforts to terrorize our fans.

We first wrote about him in December, 2013 when we caught him with his melon photoshopped on the body of one of our friends, stealing our friend’s image as well as his military awards, including the Navy Aircrew Wings, the Navy Expeditionary Medal, and the Navy Good Conduct Medal along with hash marks on his sleeve for twenty years of service – none of which appear in Bernath’s records.

Bernath also altered the image to add a rocker of a Chief Petty Officer. Bernath claimed that the National Association of Naval Photographers had bestowed the title on him. The association president told us that they don’t bestow the title Chief Petty Officer to their membership.

Bernath then applied for a restraining order against me, claiming that on a day that I was actually in the White House for a Medal of Honor ceremony, Bernath saw me knocking on his door and then running into his bushes – the judge decided that he had no jurisdiction over me in that case, since I had never been to Oregon, and dismissed it. Bernath then filed a law suit against me and several others which was tossed out of Oregon court for the same reasons.

So Bernath moved to Florida and his abuse of the legal system followed him. In the interim, the California Bar Association (where Bernath held a license to practice law) moved to have him disbarred, we’re still waiting for the California Supreme Court to rule on that one. By the way, Bernath sued the two CA Bar Association members who had opposed him during the hearing in LA. Florida courts tossed that one out, too.

Anyway, he tried suing us again, this time in Florida, charging that we had tried to kill him by pouring water into the gas tank of his airplane. That he had tried to fly the craft and it began to sputter and his flight instructor had to regain control of the aircraft and land it safely. Lee County Port Authority detectives investigated his charges;

Bernath Police report

They testified at the hearing last week, so basically, there was no evidence for the judge to review after hearing the officers’ testimony, so she dismissed the lawsuit against us. Here is paragraph 7 of that dismissal;

Bernath Paragraph 7

Of course, Bernath wants so badly to be a fake Chief Petty Officer, he’s decided to attack Judge Krier and her wisdom. From his latest email;

Elizabeth V. Krier has violated my rights to Due Process of Law. She has declared me a vexatious litigant because I filed a complaint in Florida about new torts against me in Florida.

Krier has ordered that no paper shall be filed in the 20th Judicial District by myself to obtain compensation for the torts and attempted murders against myself by defendants unless I file through the use of a proxy, a member of the Florida Bar.

[…]

As this judge has repeatedly violated my United States and Florida Constitutional Rights to Due Process of Law, I have a reasonable belief that I cannot obtain a fair trial before and thus make this motion that she be recused and all her previous orders be reviewed by an unbiased jurist.

Of course, Bernath is no stranger to attacking judges, he assaulted a judge in Oregon and he was perp-walked away from that encounter in cuffs. I implore Judge Krier’s staff to keep their heads on swivels when she is in the area – Bernath doesn’t like women, especially women with law degrees.

Thanks so much for the update. What’s the story on the line out on the dismissal? It sounds accurate.

Frankie Cee "In the clear"

SJ; The judge lined that out, I suppose because for her to formally recognize it that she may be obligated to act on it. The filing was prepared and submitted to her to accept or decline, and she opted to line out a couple of minor things and rule on the more important items. I am satisfied.

I bet his wife is just biding her time until this dipshit gives himself a heart attack and drops dead. Then she can get on with her life.

I don’t even thing DullASS believes Bernath’s bullshit. He’s just hanging on because he has an equally deluded view that Bernath is the only person who can get him some payback, which time has shown to be utterly not true.

Ex-PH2

I have to add my 2 cents worth to this, because I was on his list, among the others.

Mr. Bernath falsely assumes that anyone wants to kill him.

After all the nonsense he’s concocted out of dust bunnies, pocket lint and nose hairs, it’s quite fair to say that he is simply not worth the effort it would take to do that.

Can someone explain to me how he is able to file lawsuits in Florida?

Ex-PH2

He isn’t able to do that any more.

He lost his pro se privileges.

Silentium Est Aureum

And the word on the street is that no reputable member of the Florida bar will sign off on a single thing Danny-boi shoves under their noses.

It’s not a perfect declaration of vexatious litigant, but it’s pretty damned close. Add to that even if he got the Fort Myers equivalent of Saul Goodman (5 Internetz points to first person to get that reference) to sign off on it, he has to pay the lawyer for his time–which will pretty much be a waste since any reputable judge is going to throw this shit out so fast it’ll leave a vapor trail.

“the torts and attempted murders against myself by defendants”
If this turd really, genuinely thinks that any of us see his pathetic life as being worthy of killing, he is delusional. If he thinks that he can convince a court that any of us would have even the slightest interest in killing him, he is STOOPID!

Why would anyone want to kill the graduate of the clinton school of stupid shyts? He is too much fun to watch! lol wadda maroon!

Frankie Cee "In the clear"

He has no truths to use in his argument so he swears to outright lies in his filings, (Something that may return to haunt him, and soon.)
About me:
He has sworn that I have been in Lee County Florida recently, even this year.
LIE, I have not been in “Peninsular Florida” since 2010, long before he moved here.
He has sworn that I am a felon.
LIE, I am not now nor ever have been a felon, and have several documents, permits, licenses that verify that.
He has sworn that my driver’s license is suspended.
LIE, My license is not suspended, and only has at any time for a few days for non-payment of a minor traffic ticket.
He has sworn that I have been deceptive in my living address.
LIE, He has only known my “legal” address, and has never known my “living” address.
He has nothing but lies, and every thing he tries to do is showing this.
He is of such little interest to any of us that he is no more than a minor irritation, just a button off the sleeve.

Generally I’m disappointed when you guys bust a faker and they scrub their facebook/likedin, whatever profile and generally drop off the face of the earth. But that’s good in a way, means they can’t ride their claims like a $5 whore anymore. But if there is one faker I wish would just disappear and never use the internet again and have to read another post about, it’s Danni Boi.

Andy – I’m guessing that the CA state bar/Supreme Court may have something to say about that. It’s a matter of time before they make their decision on Danni-boi – and I have stated that there may be a set of handcuffs and a jail waiting for him based on his misconduct as a lawer

Saddest situation ever – all he ever had to do was just quit lying about people and no one would have taken any further notice of him. Instead, he insisted that he be the center of attention, demanding the focus of folks who wanted nothing whatever to do with him.

Whatever misery he has in his life he brought on himself, in spite of other people attempting to avoid him completely. He has compounded lie upon lie upon lie, in multiple states and brought himself to the attention of law enforcement jurisdictions all over the country.

I’m still laughing my ass off over the YouTube video where Senior Chief Shipley goes to Bernath’s home in Florida and Bernath “hisses” at Diane & she calls him “an ugly mother-fucker”. Comedy gold!

A Proud Infidel®™

Yeah, that was when BernASS called her names in a tone of voice inaudible to the video camera(s) just to make her angry. The same thing kids do in grade school to get one another in trouble with the Teachers, but no stunt s too asinine or juvenile for Daniel A. Bernath to pull, he gets his thrills out of pissing people off to where they say something and when they do he tries to paint himself as the victim.

Fred Phelps was also a disbarred Attorney in Kansas that filed Bernathian lawsuits, as well as the same kind of stunts with people, thus I refer to him as Daniel A. Bernath the Fred Phelps clone.

Silentium Est Aureum

I would imagine that there might well be some Baker Act stuff going on that we’re not privy to.

Mental institution, Danny-boi. Think about it. Then your doting wife and children can rip your shit you’ve been hiding in their names from you and leave you to rot in the loony bin.

That thought makes me smile.

Oh, and still claiming to be a lawyer, too? Again, I think that’s a FELONY in Florida, and you’ve pissed off enough people there that they wouldn’t mind putting you in the slam, where again, wifey and kids can rip your shit and leave you with nothing after you’ve done your time.

That makes me smile as well.

Hondo

The latter possibility makes me smile more than the former – provided there’s hard time involved.

I heard more than once that his Daughter has pretty much disowned Bernath and wants NOTHING to do with him. Wasn’t the plane he wrecked bought and registered in her name?

Delilah T

3 states down, only 47 states to go.

He’s got quite a future ahead of him… or does he?

Then, it’s on to US Territories. Will he start in the Virgin Islands or Guam, over?

Delilah T

Why not start closer to home with Puerto Rico, that lovely island, island of tropical breezes? Then go to the US Virgin Islands, and follow that with Guam, then the Marshall Islands and finally Samoa? Think BIG!!

Silentium Est Aureum

Finally, a last word to Danny-boi:

If someone truly wanted you dead, well, putting water in your gas tank or coconuts in your driveway would probably fall on the list just below the whoopee cushion prank.

Nobody on here wants you dead, nobody has tried to kill you, nobody even thinks you’re worth the squirt of piss it would take to put you out if you were on fire.

And I’d be willing to bet that pretty much everyone you’ve ever encountered in your life feels the same way–especially your family. You’ll die warm and safe in your bed, Danny-boi. But then you’ll go unmourned, unloved, and forgotten as quickly as possible. That’s the legacy you’ll leave behind, and it’s way too late to change it.

Ta, motherfucker.

Can’t imagine either would be fun in the best of circumstances.

Let’s just say I’m annoyed by a lot of little shit, hence my diatribe to Danny-boi being what it was. I’ll be fine in a few days. Starting to wind down here, and hopefully will be back at or at least within driving distance of Casa de SEA soon.

Neither is baling hay the way we used to do it, square bales, 85 to 110 lbs each, and nobody cared if you were hot and sweaty, because whoever we were working for fed us all and turned the hose on for us as soon as we were done.

That I got to do a few times during my “ute”. And yeah, that was a chore. I personally would rather be outside throwing the bales on the conveyor (if there was one) rather than the guy up on top. No air and stifling hot. Plus most of the places I lived as a teen were, shall we say, at higher elevations.

Yes, several times. Even claims that we make fun of it. How would we even know about that mess if he hadn’t made a big deal of it? I cannot think of any reason that a court litigant who is not suing a urologist would even want to mention that he has to use a renal catheter to piss.

Tallywhagger

Gotta wonder who signed off on his last BFR (biennial flight review).

Is he proclaiming that he failed to sump the tanks as part of pre-flight planning and then, as a result, having to surrender pilot-in-command to a flight instructor, as the result of an in-flight emergency deriving from that failure to adequately inspect the aircraft prior to operating the aircraft?

If anyone has an actionable standing in this story it would be the flight instructor whose life was imperiled by the reckless, wanton and capricious lack of ordinary preflight inspection.

Skippy, did a little reading on Baker Act.

Basically, the 72 hour hold is only ordered if there’s evidence of mental illness and they present a danger to themselves or others, or are self-neglecting.

From there, a decision could be made as to what course of action to take, be it nothing to outpatient or voluntary committal, to involuntary committal, which understandably judges are very reluctant to do in all but the most extreme cases.

Basically, not much anyone here could do, even though he is nutter than squirrel shit.

“This guy doesn’t have issues, he has full-blown subscriptions.”

Frankie Cee "In the clear"

As an “Army guy” I am unfamiliar with operations on an Aircraft Carrier flight deck, but would assume that a Navy Photographer would both, be ordered to wear ear protection, and would want to wear same. Read this from the “Dope with no hope”: 47. I have told Judge Krier I am a 100% US Navy combat zone Disabled veteran. I will be 67 years old in September. To Court, I wore my war ribbons, including Gallantry Cross with Frame, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Vietnam Service, Korea Service, Navy Commendation Ribbons with 2 stars upon my lapel and my gold Navy Aircrew Wings. I told judge Krier that I have a mental disability that causes me to become confused when she interrupted when answering her questions or making sua sponte objections for defendants as defendants put on their defense to the facts of my case during the jurisdiction hearing. 48. I have tinnitus whereby it sounds like jet engines are operating next to both ears. During parts of the day it is worse and other parts of the day it is less pronounced but at all times I require an assistant to help me repeat what someone has said to me or I cannot communicate. As I told Judge Krier, I require Dallas Wittgenfeld as my assistant so when I cannot understand something then I will ask him what is said and he will repeat it to me. 49. I received this untreatable disability after working on the flight deck of two aircraft carriers and flying in Navy aircraft powered by jet engines and very loud conventional engines, during the Vietnam and Cold Wars, without the Navy providing any ear protection. 50. Judge Krier said that as my disability aid was not an attorney that he must sit in the gallery and then she eventually made him sit in the hallway. I was thus at a disadvantage to hear her and used a combination of intensely look at her lips moving, attempting to hear her and also attempting to read her lips. I have other veteran friends who tell me… Read more »

H,mmmm, how would someone born in 1949 have earned the “Korea Service” award? Or was that for post Korea War service?

A Proud Infidel®™

The only other Korea Service Award I know of is the KDSM which I have. I served over there in 2ID 92-93 and it was added to my DD214 when I de-mobed from A-stan.

Hondo

Yep, the Korea Defense Service Medal (KDSM). The dipstick rates it due to his AFEM – per his records, that was awarded to him for post-USS Pubelo support in Korean waters during the time the AFEM was authorized for Korea (1966-1974). DoD has granted an exception to policy and allowed “double awarding” of both awards to those who qualify per criteria for each on a single tour.

The KDSM doesn’t apply to the Korean War period, as KDSM eligibility begins after the period of Korea Service Medal (KSM) eligibility for the Korean War. Korean War vets get the latter and the UN Medal.

It’s also bullshit that he’d have ever flown as a Naval Aircrewman without PPE on an aircraft operating from an aircraft carrier.

Like the Air Boss wouldn’t have skewered him to the flight deck with one word.
“You!”
That was the loudest PA system I ever heard.
Even through a deck helmet.

HMCS(FMF) ret.

I’ve been an attendant on three MEDEVAC mission via helo… every freaking time I was given hearing protection on the pad. Crew Chief was the one that gave it out and did a brief on what to expect during the flight.

NFW that Danni-boi was NAC… another one of his bullshit lies spewed from his cake hole. He’s a pussy now and probably a pussy when he was in the Navy… not man enough to go through the training for NAC.

Wait! I have sea time! In war zone! On a Big Grey Boat (well it was a Big White Boat). And I was helo’ed to it. Man! I need to get some medals.

Actually, I was buds with the AVN Det CO in the 82nd and he always wanted to land on a ship. Since I needed a REFRAD physical Carl cranked up his Huey in F’ing Phu Bai, RVN and we went looking for the USS Repose hospital ship and landed. I failed the vision and hearing tests because of staring at the N China Sea and listening to a Huey turbine for an hour+…it was pencil whipped into a pass. So I have war zone sea time.

Yeah, that and a nickel will get you, well, a nickel in one hand and nothing in the other. (Welcome to the club! 😉 )

Seriously, what you have there is a great sea story. Just not sure who it would impress, but I want to be a fly on the wall as you try it out…

Yeah but since my short-term hearing and vision loss was pencil whipped to A-OK, with my permission, I can’t whine like pussy Bernasty.

I related the story for no reason other than it was a great, no-shit, adventure that was yet another great data point in why I’m so glad I was a lifer soldier.

As an M240B gunner in a previous life… With actual hearing loss… I can honestly say that I have never used this method to ascertain information. Usually, I just say “Huh?” And “What did you say, I can’t hear you, speak up?!?” and the people I am speaking with do. I have, however, done this for the WW2 and Korea guys during business meetings at the VFW and the Legion, with seriously hilarious results! Bless you, Old Farts, you guys hooked me up with a membership as soon as I hit 30 days in country (When I joined, I brought the VFW Post average age down to 79), and it has been an interesting ride, going from teenage Boot, to Salty old Asshole 😀

Anyway…. Still waiting for the LRRP to “Cometh” myself.

Ex-PH2

So, we’re done here. Right?

Good, ’cause I have more important things to do than pay attention to this moron.

Bernath's Fuel Plan

I’m a real deal disgraced lawyer.

Hack Stone

I heard that Daniel Bernath got kicked out of the Holiday Inn Express for dropping a Monkress in the Business Center. I wonder if Dullass was standing next to him when he did it?
