3 Peas Of A Pod Is Called A Mayangski
A. Howard Matz worked at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in 1993 (although it's omitted from his bio's, probably because they wouldn't make him a partner)
Robert Bonner also was a partner in Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in 1993. He is now a partner in the LA and DC offices of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher.
Debra Wong Yang is a partner in the LA office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, I'm sure you've heard of a story behind that:
FOR EVERY YING THERE IS A YANG, AND SOMETIMES A CHA-CHING!
MEET ALEX KOZINSKI, A JUDGE WITH "BAD JUDGEMENT"
$PECIAL REWARD$ FOR THESE COP$
OUTSIDE IT'S AMERICA
A QUESTION FOR AMERICA:
Is "pretty good" pretty much like "pretty clear?" Because I'm "pretty sure" it is not.
I know, it's complex. (.pdf)
But then again, I'm officially nutzzzzzz, until certified un-nutzzzzzz in a competent court of the law. So I am waiting on the law, and the certificate required by the law.
But I'm no expert.(.pdf) Anyone see ours, yet? He has our certificate required by the law and I need it to be officially un-nutzzzzzz. And that's a fact!

A. Howard Matz, Judge
“In all evils which admit a remedy, impatience should be avoided, because it wastes that time and attention in complaints which, if properly applied, might remove the cause”
After detecting a connection between the 3 playas in the story, Matz, Yang and Kozinski, from the link below, it soon after "disappeared" from http://www.omm.com
A classic disinformationist tactic.
I kept a copy, for the record and for the children.
The pair knew each other from a few years back when both worked in the Los Angeles.
June 27, 1998
The U.S. Senate on Friday confirmed Century City lawyer A. Howard Matz to a federal district judgeship in Los Angeles.
"I'm very honored, and I'm truly looking forward to serving," said Matz, 54, a partner at Bird, Marella, Boxer, Wolpert & Matz.
"It's a wonderful opportunity to participate in the process of pursuing justice."
Matz was nominated for the position by President Clinton last October on the recommendation of Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.).
Unlike many other Clinton nominees, Matz's confirmation process was relatively swift. He faced no opposition at the Senate Judiciary Committee and no votes were cast against him Friday.
Matz's candidacy was endorsed by numerous influential lawyers, as well as by Lourdes G. Baird, a U.S. district judge here, Robert C. Bonner Jr., the former head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Gil Garcetti and Sheriff Sherman Block.
A native of New York, Matz attended Columbia University and after graduating from Harvard Law School served as a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Morris E. Lasker in New York.
Suddenly he moved to Los Angeles and spent four years in the U.S. attorney's office, including a stint as chief of the office's special prosecutions unit.

He entered private practice in 1978 and specialized in complex business litigation and white-collar criminal cases. He has represented IBM, Walt Disney Co., the cities of Anaheim and Riverside, Yale University and numerous other Coporate Big Shots in civil cases.
Matz has also been involved in numerous civic activities, including serving on the boards of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles and Bet Tzedek Legal Services, which provides legal assistance to low-income individuals.
Matz also is a member of the Board of Overseers for the Los Angeles campus of the Hebrew Union College--Jewish Institute of Religion.
Both Boxer and Matz's longtime partner Terry Bird predicted that he would make an outstanding judge. How wrong could two people be...
"Howard Matz's deep commitment to [in]justice ... will make him an outstanding addition to the federal bench," Boxer said.
Bird, who met Matz when they served together as federal prosecutors in the U.S. attorney's office, said his partner is "extremely bright, practical and devoted to the law. He'll be absolutely fair."
"It's my job. I'm going to make sure you get a fair trial." ~Judge A. Howard Matz. 08.22.2002, Pg 11. Trial of Killercop.com For Speech Crimes.
Q. No. I'm asking if your interpretation of disruptive
conduct is an outburst and definition of an outburst is an
interruption of the court proceedings? What I'm asking is if
Mr. Sutcliffe believed he had to interrupt the court proceedings to assert a right, or rights, that his
court-appointed attorney was not asserting for him, in
Mr. Sutcliffe's perception, would that -- would that render --
would that change your opinion that he was trying to manipulate
the proceedings for the purpose of delay?
A. Well, I don't know. I couldn't say whether or not, you
know, again -- you know, we didn't talk about why he was doing
that. He gave me -- you know, he essentially said that he just
began speaking for himself because, I think, one, he didn't
acknowledge Mr. Nicolaysen as his attorney and also he believed
that the judge was being unfair and -- Judge Matz that is --
and that he just wanted to present his case.
Q. Okay. So would it be fair, then, based on what you've
told me, that you believe that his outbursts were motivated, at
least in part, by his desire to assert his rights and present
his case --
A. Yeah, I would -- yeah.
"YOU CAN'T SIMPLY GIVE A
LONG SPEECH AND POUND THE TABLE FIGURATIVELY OR LITERALLY ABOUT
WHY IT'S UNFAIR FOR THAT QUESTION TO BE ASKED OR ANYTHING ABOUT
THE MOTIVES OF THE QUESTION OR ANYTHING L I K E THAT. THAT'S WAY
BEYOND BOUNDS. BUT YOU WOULD BE ENTITLED TO OBJECT AS LONG AS YOU
FOLLOW THE RULES. I'M NOT GOING TO TELL YOU ALL THE RULES."
