Dismissal of charges: The alleged assault took place on June 2, 2007. After review of the Mono County Sheriff's Report, and witness statements taken at the scene, on June 17, 2007, the District Attorney made a determination not to pursue charges. In the District Attorney's rejection of charge report, it was determined that there was; "No likelihood of conviction; self defense against alleged victim; victim convicted felon; refused chemical test; and size differential-accused smaller than the victim". Further, the accused had no prior infractions other than minor traffic violations.

Lack of Communication from the District Attorney's Office. Notes of phone messages showed that the District Attorney made repeated attempts to contact the complainant, with no success. Messages left on the complainant's answering machine instructed him that the District Attorney was not pursuing charges in this matter, and that his appearance at Mono County Superior Court on July 16, 2007 was not necessary. On July 11, 2007, a Secretary in the District Attorney's Office was contacted by the complainant and was told by complainant, "not to leave messages" and "you know what my next step is".
