From: Concerned Citizens/Residents

Dear The Honorable Chief Judge John M. Roll and Honorable Judge Susan Bolton,

We write to Your Honors to register our serious concerns about a legal case (CV07 1147-PHX-SRB) in U.S. District Court of Arizona , of which Your Honors are the Chief Judge and presiding Judge. This case has come to our attention through the Internet in both Chinese and English.

AiFang Shi, a Chinese pathologist, sued Central Arizona College (the "College") for wrongful and hasty dismissal from a nursing program due to discrimination and retaliation. Ms. Shi complained to the authorities at the College that the dean of the College made discriminatory statements towards her. Six days later, the College summarily terminated her with a fabricated accusation, alleging that she performed a procedure without faculty supervision while at a hospital. Ms. Shi's supervising nurse wrote a letter to the College, stating that Ms. Shi was innocent of this charge, yet the College still dismissed her.

During this lawsuit, the hospital produced the original document proving the Colleges accusation to be entirely false. The patients Medication Administration Record bears the signatures of the faculty member, proving that Ms. Shi completed the entire procedure under faculty supervision.

Ms. Shi paid out of state tuition to the College for the nursing program. Her nursing career was ruined by the Colleges discriminatory and wrongful conducts. She suffers continuous unemployment because of the wrongful termination.

After the U.S. Federal Court of Arizona granted summary judgment for Defendants with a notice of not for publication, Defendants filed a Motion for Attorneys Fees.

We ask the Honorable Chief Judge and presiding Judge to deny the Colleges Motion for Attorneys Fees. Awarding fees to racist Defendants would be further encouraging discrimination.

    • The injustice Ms. Shi has been subject to is extremely severe, and to be fined in addition to that is absolutely outrageous.

    • I fully support you, Ms. Shi. Ofen times, our country is not ruled by the law, but by those judges who interpret law with their own discretion. The judges can say "Black is White." There is no justice for ordinary people. When your skin color is shown, you are discriminated.

    • I read Ms. Shi's case from Internet. The District Court of Arizona failed to consider the evidence. The Judge just took whatever the defendant said. This is the judicial misconduct.

    • The American right to self-litigation will never be fully honored until the People organize peacefully in support thereof. Until then, the legal system will continue to be run by lawyers for the benefit of lawyers and those who rely on them for representation.

    • This is ridiculous. She lost everything, even though she has irrefutable evidence. Now they're going to harm her even more? Awarding attorney's fees to defendants will further promote the discrimination.
