DEAR MR. ROBINSON,
It is with a heavy heart I again bring this matter to your attention. As a man of color,
I believe you know of discrimination in this world. I, as a man lacking color, believe I
may have been a victim of systematic discrimination by the University of California.
On October 17, 1972, your officer badge number 718 committed perjury in traffic
citation 1396 against my person, Richard Anthony Baum, while a student only 20
years old at UC Santa Barbara. In discussing the incident with the Santa Barbara
County District Attorney in 1997, the District Attorney assured me perjury is perjury
is perjury: it is always a felony with no statute of limitations.
Please allow me to be specific. Your Officer 718, in addition to totally misrepresenting
a material fact, the license plate number, failed to execute the citation. In handing me
the citation, your officer badge number 718 told me directly, “If you think I am wrong,
take me to court.” I did not mouth off to this officer. Rather, he was mouthing off to
me, taunting me, intimidating me with his power.
In viewing the citation, my father, Dr. Custer Charles Baum, told me directly, “The
citation is wrong.” I was aged 20 and three months. I had no income. Public
defenders had yet to come into existence for non-capital cases in Santa Barbara
County. My father and mother, Persis Eugenia Baum, while not starving, had no
money with which to play games.
At the appearance, October 31, 1972, at 8:45 am, in Goleta Municipal Court, Judge
Joseph Lodge, who I would have hoped would have exercised due diligence perfunctory
to his job, and have reviewed the citation to see if it was even legitimate, apparently
failed to do so and allowed the charge against me to stand.
As must be obvious to anyone with a year of law school, there was a horrible
miscarriage of Justice with this event in 1972 in Santa Barbara County. There was
financial loss to me then and subsequently in the form of loss of income to a promising
career in economics.

2. My wife, Melanie Laura Lansing, and I, Richard Anthony Baum, remember the UCSB
Foundation and the UCLA Foundation in our revocable trust to the amount of 10% of
our estate at death.
I do not desire to be litigious, however that desire may grow with continued benign
neglect.
I remind you it was your employee responsible for this unfortunate event.
Let us come to a nice, amicable, irrevocable out of court settlement in the form of a tax
free settlement of restitution which neither acknowledges guilt on the University of
California’s behalf nor allows me to further legally pursue this matter.
The inferior option is payment commensurate with one year of salary as a full time
tenured full professor of economics at UCSB with no obligation to me to perform any
duties.
More pleasing to me is three annual payments to me of $50,000 each commensurate
or even legally structured as a taxable stipend to continue and attempt to publish my
research in mathematical economics. Please see my Curriculum Vitae for topics ready
for development. This is the desirable outcome as it stands to enlarge the realm of
scholarly knowledge in the field of mathematical economics.
Please respond by certified mail with notice of your receipt and then after due
consideration notice of your decision.
Sincerely,
Richard Anthony Baum
