Note 1: Despite the name of this case, Charles Varvayanis has not been a party to this case since 4/5/2013.
Note 2: This case is still proceeding and has become enormous.
There are several hundred documents spanning a few thousand pages.
Because the court charges $0.50 per page for copies of the documents and because of the amount of work that would be required to document this case, only few documents have been collected and made available here.
Charles Varvayanis is willing to accept donations of documents related to this case or cash to further develop of this section. Charles' contact information is at the bottom of this page.

Shortly after, Sierra Park Services and Sierra Park Water Company filed Cross-complainants against the parties.

It is estimated the 7 parties have spent in excess of $120,000 defending against this case as of 4/2017.
At the OFSRA Special Meeting of Shareholders on 10/8/2016 and at OFSRA Board of Director's Meetings, OFSRA's President Del Wallis indicated OFSRA must make an example of the parties to avoid issues with others, then asked the rhetorical question: Why would the parties spend more than $100,000 defending this case and not just pay the about $300 remaining for each at this time?
In response to Del's comment and question, the parties say: We are not willing to allow OFSRA to overcharge or take advantage of us any longer and ask why would OFSRA, Sierra Park Services and Sierra Park Water Company spend more than $150,000 to collect about $300 each, or about $2,100 total at this time?
