Attorney Refuses to “Take Part” in Proceedings

“I am not taking part in the appeal process.”

So wrote attorney William “Zac” White of Heber Springs, Arkansas in an email sent to this writer, the court reporter and the Trial Court Administrator Tammy Weaver on June 7, 2022.

Here is a screen shot of the Court Connect docket taken today, but which is the same as it was two days ago.

See “WHITE, WILLIAM Z”. Right there on the row that says “PLAINTIFF/PETITIONER ATTORNEY”.

Duke, Dustin Alan was hired by me to represent the “Affiant” Rural Revival Living Trust. I have no clue why Searcy Clerk Debbie Loggins listed the trust as “Affiant” instead of “Defendant”.

There are so many errors in the record of this case that it is hard to believe they are all unintentional.

It is clear that William Z. White is the plaintiff’s attorney.

This is the entire text of the email:

“Ms. Lynn,

I have instructed you time and time again to not contact my office.  The next time you do I am going to file a complaint with the Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office.  You have wasted so many people’s time with your nonsense.  I will be blocking this email address from you.  I am not taking part in the appeal process. I also suggest you revisit your insanely mediocre and slanderous blog.” 

Why is the Court, Judge Susan Weaver, allowing an attorney of record to demand that an opposing party, an appellant of the Judge’s bizarre orders, refrain from copying communications with the court personnel to the attorney of record?

There is also an element of humor, irony, in attorney White’s email. He and the Court agreed that I may only represent myself, not the trust, because I am not an attorney. But Mr. White is still a licensed attorney and he does not seem to know that “slander” is a “defamatory assertion expressed in a transitory form, esp. speech”, as per Black’s Law Dictionary (11th ed. 2019).

Mr. White probably meant “libelous”, though that assertion would be incorrect also. The truth is almost always a defense to libel, as illustrated by the recent tabloid case of Johhny Depp v. Amber Heard. (In that case the defendant and counter-defendant failed to show their defamatory statements were true.)

Another bit of irony…to prove my statements that Attorney White and Judge Weaver colluded with Court Reporter Jana Perry to create an inaccurate record of the proceedings, I would be given the opportunity to present the audio recording of the hearings in question. Playing those tapes for a jury would show that what I claim is the truth. That is why Judge Weaver keeps denying me access to the audio tapes. So, Mr. White cannot make good his threats to sue me for “slander”.

Unless of course Judge Weaver is his judge.

The Arkansas judge seems to allow Attorney White to pick and choose the rules he will follow and makes certain he gets “paid”.

About LauraLynnHammett

Regular people like you and I should have access to justice, even if we can't afford an attorney. Judges must stop their cronyism. Attorneys who use abusive tactics against pro se litigants should be disbarred. This site discusses some of the abuses by our legal professionals. It also gives media attention to cases that are fought and sometimes won by the self represented.

    I had 2 court cases, where the lawyers are making decisions, and the clerks are hired moles. The judges were useless. Masscourts.org is a fake lawyer based web site, where the lawyers control the courts and the online info. There is no justice in the United States, you have to have money and contacts to break every law in the book and turn each case upside down. What a disgrace ! the courts, every court has been bought….in Plymouth county, Superior court ,
    Brockton, ma. Joanne Capone vs.. Town of Hull, ma. Docket no. 2183CV00358, entered on May 12, 2021 by Judge Brian Glenny, who, by the way was not appointed on the Superior court bench until June 23, 2021. He took my case and he wasn’t even a judge. The town counsel slammed every motion I made, and his clerk mole, kevin, approved all of his motions immediately, and ignored every one of mine. Except, my last motion to dismiss the case due to lack of money to proceed. WHAT A JOKE!
    While a long standing case trying to sell our family home, and the dirty lawyer that became legal counsel for my thievan brother, worked hard to present false bank statements after not providing anything to me and my 9 siblings for 13 years, nothing. He jammed the case up by pressing the “cite the law” search engine button , producing massive amount of bs paperwork, that overwhelms the judges, so they have to rely on clerk moles that have full power of judgeship. That case finally went to trial on Sep. 13 , 2021, the lawyer for that case, and the town counsel for the Hull case have their offices within feet away in the same office building, Nuesse, the lawyer for my family home case, gave Lampke, the town counsel, inside info, and Hull counsel, made the initial hearing on that same day Sep. 13, 2021, knowing I had to be in Marlborough, Ma. where they shipped out the family home case…Capone, Sr. Benjamin, PL04P0086-TP-1. It has been almost a yr. since trial for the family home. They sold it against court order, I said NO, then stole all the family possessions and charged the trust account $7,000. We could not use or get into our home . at the end, I was allowed a court ordered visit, where I and my kids were threatened by nuesse, the dirty lawyer. We still have no money. it is in escroll, almost a yr. There is no justice in the court system, only Tryanny, lies and abuse….

      Dear Montereyjo,

      I hear the frustration in your writing.

      Of course, because I have not researched your case, I have no opinion of whether I believe you. I will try to pull up the court record and speak with you. Please send your phone number to bohemian_books@yahoo.com.

      Like so many other court victims, your writing has grammatical and spelling errors. If after an investigation, I believe there is merit to your claims, I will clean up the technical errors and post your story on this blog.

      It is a shame that because of judicial officers like Susan Weaver and Alan Friedenthal (deceased), it is not possible to know if justice was served or even if the record is accurate.
