In the Matter of: Jeffrey Macomber, CA Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilitation

26CV011781: IN THE MATTER OF: JEFFREY MACOMBER, CA DEPT. OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION 09/08/2026 Order to Show Cause Re: re: Why Lien or Encumbrance ShouldNot Be Stricken and Released in Department 16C

Tentative Ruling

Petitioner Jeffrey Macomber (“Petitioner”) filed his petition for an order to show cause (“OSC”) why the lien or encumbrance should not be stricken and released on May 7, 2026. The Court issued an OSC setting the hearing for today’s date, and ordering Respondent Ayana Denzmore (“Respondent”) to “give any legal reason that the lien or other encumbrance on the property of the public officer or employee described in the attached petition should not be stricken and the other relief requested in the petition should not be granted.” (Order to Show Cause, June 1, 2026.)

This petition arises from a UCC Financing Statement No. U250131846931, filed with the California Secretary of State by Respondent on May 5, 2025. This UCC Financing Statement states:

This is actual and constructive notice of acceptance and claim by Ayanna Manaa Denzmore, Trustee of the AYANNA DENZMORE LIVING ESTATE TRUST ('A-TRUST'), as it relates to the trust res known as ABRAHAM EZEKIEL BANKS (Ens Legis/Trust Estate). This UCC Financing Statement supplements and supports the original perfected filing in the State of New York under Filing No. 202504268204854, which remains active and unrebutted in the public record. This California filing exists to notice ministerial officers and agencies within the State of California of said perfected interest and enforce recognition of said trust property within California jurisdiction.

The collateral secured includes, but is not limited to: all legal and equitable titles, DNA, biological property, cell lines, retina scans, fingerprints, commercial energy, instruments, contracts, administrative proceedings, securities, accounts, and entitlements linked to the person, estate, or derivatives of the name ABRAHAM EZEKIEL BANKS, as cited in Case No. 02F01274 and other related proceedings. Trustee Ayanna Manaa Denzmore, in her fiduciary capacity, accepted and tendered lawful settlement on May 2, 2025, by delivery of a duly executed International Bill of Exchange (IBOE), in accordance with the commercial remedy available through equity and public trust law.

Said tender constitutes substance-over-form discharge, not private credit or fiat currency. This filing is made in good faith, not for unlawful or fraudulent purpose, and functions as notice of private trust administration, claim of right, and commercial closure under Lex Mercatoria and UCC §§ 1-308, 1-103, 3-104, 9-102. Scott Bessent, Secretary of the Treasury (or successor), is noticed and accepted as fiduciary steward over any residual res and collateral for the final adjustment and closure of related accounts and obligations.

No corporate fiction or agency relationship is acknowledged or joined herein. The living man Abraham Ezekiel Banks is not the party subject to controversy. This

record stands as part of lawful administration of trust property. All rights reserved, without prejudice. Trustee: Ayanna Manaa Denzmore, by Special Appointment.

(Pet., Exh. A.)

Petitioner is the Secretary of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”). (Macomber Decl., ¶ 1.) Petitioner declares that “there is, in fact, no security agreement, settlement, commercial transaction, contractual or other relationship that would give the respondent a security interest or lien against my assets or property. Any claim in this UCC Financing Statement against me by this respondent is false. I am also unaware of any type of agreement that would give the respondent any type of security interest or lien against CDCR.” (Id., ¶ 2.)

Petitioner’s unopposed request for judicial notice is granted. In taking judicial notice of these documents, the court accepts the fact of their existence, not the truth of their contents. (See Professional Engineers v. Dep’t of Transp. (1997) 15 Cal.4th 543, 590; Steed v. Department of Consumer Affairs (2012) 204 Cal.App.4th 112, 120-121.)

Code of Civil Procedure section 765.010 provides, in relevant part:

(b) A person shall not file or record, or direct another to file or record, a lawsuit, lien, or other encumbrance, including a notice of lis pendens, against another person or entity knowing it is false, with the intent to harass the person or entity or to influence or hinder the person in discharging his or her official duties if the person is a public officer or employee.

(c)(1) A person or entity whose property is subject to a lien or encumbrance in violation of this section may petition the superior court of the county in which the person or entity resides or in which the property is located for an order, which may be granted ex parte, directing the lien or other encumbrance claimant to appear at a hearing before the court and show cause why the lien or other encumbrance should not be stricken and other relief provided by this article should not be granted.

(2) The court shall schedule the hearing no earlier than 14 days after the date of the order. The scheduled date of the hearing shall allow adequate time for notice of the hearing.

(Code Civ. Proc., § 765.010, subds. (b)–(c).) If the court determines the lien or encumbrance

26CV011781: IN THE MATTER OF: JEFFREY MACOMBER, CA DEPT. OF CORRECTIONS AND REHABILITATION 09/08/2026 Order to Show Cause Re: re: Why Lien or Encumbrance ShouldNot Be Stricken and Released in Department 16C

violates Section 765.010, subdivision (b), the court must issue an order striking and releasing the lien. (Id., § 765.030.) Furthermore, the court may award attorney’s fees and must award a civil penalty of up to $5,000. (Id., §§ 765.030, 765.040.)

Having failed to file a response to the OSC, Respondent fails “to give any legal reason that the lien or other encumbrance on the property of the public officer or employee described in the attached petition should not be stricken and the other relief requested in the petition should not be granted.”

Accordingly, the Court GRANTS the petition and orders UCC Financing Statement No. U250131846931, on May 5, 2025, is ordered stricken.

Petitioner’s request that a $5,000 penalty be awarded against Respondent is GRANTED.

Petitioner’s request for attorney’s fees and costs is DENIED. Petitioner fails to set forth the amount of attorneys’ fees requested or any information to substantiate the fees.

Petitioner shall prepare an order for the Court's signature pursuant to CRC Rule 3.1312.
