Soon to be hit song: Faulkner co. Corrupt
This is a cool song by a woman named Betty Figueroa who claims she was hit in the head with a gun by a Faulkner County Sheriff officer and forcibly confined to a chair for about 17 hours in 2019.
Mrs. Figueroa filed a pro se lawsuit for violation of her civil rights. It was dismissed without prejudice.
Mrs. Figueroa is also having trouble with Arkansas Circuit Court Judge Susan Weaver.
With my own caseload and holiday plans, I won’t have the opportunity to dig into Mrs. Figueroa’s complaints deeply until the new year.
In the meantime, let’s make her song go viral.
Judge Susan Weaver Orders Continuance of Trial on Her Own Initiative to Benefit Big Bank
In yet another act of vexatiousness toward pro se litigants, Judge Susan Kaye Weaver of Faulkner County, Arkansas sua sponte decided to continue a trial against a big bank defendant. Judge Weaver claimed there was good cause to order the continuance; There was improper service of the complaint on the bank. The plaintiff said she served the summons and a subpoena at the same time, and she thinks that the defendant’s acknowledgment suffices.
It is the fact that Judge Weaver delayed a continuance for a pro se defendant on a separate case who wrote a motion for the continuance and two proposed orders because the defendant was not served at all, until the day of the trial and after the pro se defendant filed exhibits to be used at trial.
The errant judge appeared to be collecting discovery for the represented party. The attorney for that party, William Zac White failed to file exhibits before the scheduled trial.
Instead, he filed an opposition to the motion for continuance a couple days before trial, six weeks after the motion was filed. More bizarre, Zac White asked for a continuance verbally at the trial and it was granted by Judge Susan Weaver. The very same Susan Weaver who took it on herself to continue the trial against U.S. Bank for lack of proper service, refused to grant a continuance for an unserved pro se litigant and then granted a continuance for the represented party who failed to serve summons.
The pro se defendant was dismissed after about two years, but her property rights were still transferred by Judge Susan Weaver to Mr. White’s client, without allowing the pro se plaintiff an opportunity to speak in her own defense.
That case was briefed on appeal over a year ago, with no response from Pietrczak, and is still on the Arkansas Court of Appeals docket, undecided. 65-CV-21-20, Pietrczak v. Laura Lynn and Rural Revival Living Trust.

As you can see, William Zac White is an embarrassment to the legal profession and Judge Susan Weaver should be removed from office.
