Disabled Litigant Claims Judge Susan K. Weaver Locked Her Out of Her Hearing

[UPDATE: Plaintiff Betty Figueroa said there was a hearing scheduled for the motion for reconsideration. The scheduling order is not viewable on the caseinfo.arcourts docket. According to Mrs. Figueroa, the hearing is on April 18, 2024 at 8:30 a.m. at the Faulkner County Courthouse, 510 South German Lane, Conway. Come join us for a civic lesson, and time and weather permitting, a walk-and-talk at the park across the street afterward.]

Judge Susan K. Weaver once held a hearing where I was a self-represented party and the judge forbid me to argue, give evidence, cross examine the plaintiff-witness or testify. Many days later, Judge Weaver dismissed me as a defendant with prejudice, but found my common-defense-doctrine co-defendant guilty by default. She gave property that was held in trust for me to the plaintiff, despite the plaintiff’s written statement that he was committing fraud against me and that he swore in writing that he considered us married in the eyes of God – then swore in court that I was just some old “bitch” he was banging.

It is probably easier for me to believe the headline story than it will be for you to believe it. Hear me out and look at the evidence.

Betty Figueroa contacted me after reading posts about the corrupt judge Weaver. We met in person twice. My impression is that she is either authentic, or she should win an Academy Award.

Mrs. Figueroa wears a badge that describes her disability. She has TBI, Traumatic Brain Injury. TBI is misunderstood by many, including some doctors and Judge Susan Weaver to mean the disabled is irrational.

TBI can cause neurological damage to the speech center of the brain. I have cared for a TBI patient who was as rational as he was before his accident but mixed up words. For example, he would say “M” instead of “phone”, “hub” instead of “car” and was asking for a priest, but I didn’t figure that one out until after his speech improved dramatically.

My favorite presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has neurological damage that causes his voice to have a strange quality. He has a slight difficulty at times, remembering what he was going to say. I don’t know if his neurological damage was caused by blunt trauma to the head. I do know his thinking is more rational than Trump or Biden’s.

Mrs. Figueroa claims that she opened a joint account at U.S. Bank with her sole proprietorship photography business, before she was injured. After her injury, the bank treated her disrespectfully and would not give her access to her account.

Mrs. Figueroa filed a complaint in Faulkner County Circuit Court. She said she did not want to pay exorbitant attorney fees and thought it was a clear-cut case.

I am not an attorney. I read Mrs. Figueroa’s court documents. There are words and formatting I think she got wrong, but her meaning is clear.

The docket shows an entry for a summons with a dollar sign but does not have an image of the summons.

Mrs. Figueroa had a subpoena issued to U.S. Bank.

U.S. Bank, through its attorney at Rose Law Firm of Hillary Clinton fame, filed a motion to quash the subpoena, which was granted.

There are many errors made by the pro se litigant who clearly has a communication disability. There are more errors that are made by the court.

I believe Mrs. Figueroa when she says she brought a proof of service of the summons to the clerk and the clerk neglected to file it. One reason I believe her is that I witnessed the clerk fail to file a document Mrs. Figueroa handed to the clerk yesterday.

I signed and notarized an affidavit at Mrs. Figueroa’s request yesterday. It summarizes how Judge Susan Weaver denied my access to court, much like Mrs. Figuroa is complaining about. I gave two copies to Mrs. Figueroa. Mrs. Figueroa brought them to the clerk at 1:52 p.m. with a motion for reconsideration (that I will discuss later). The motion was filed but the affidavit was not. Mrs. Figueroa said the clerk kept both copies.

After Mrs. Figueroa contacted the clerk by email, as displayed at the top of the post, the error was corrected. The affidavit was filed at 4:08 p.m.

Here is the lead, buried deep.

Mrs. Figueroa requested and the court scheduled a hearing for default judgment against U.S. Bank for March 28, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. Betty Figueroa showed up for the hearing. The courtroom door was locked. Mrs. Figueroa went downstairs to the clerk’s office. (This is not the office that the court filings are made.) The clerk called upstairs and told Judge Weaver that Mrs. Figueroa was trying to get in for her hearing. Allegedly, Judge Weaver informed the clerk to send Mrs. Figueroa upstairs, and to inform the baliff that he should let her into the courtroom.

Upstairs, the bailiff told Mrs. Figueroa that the Court dismissed the case, because Mrs. Figueroa was not present for the motion for default judgment.

A few of the documents proving the plaintiff’s rendition are downloadable below. They include a letter written by the clerk who tried to help Mrs. Figueroa get into the courtroom.

The quiet and unimposing woman filed a motion for reconsideration yesterday. She included the affidavit that I signed and notarized. Unfortunately, she knows a court in Arkansas will never help her recover her bank account from U.S. Bank. Judge Weaver is here to serve herself and her lawyer friends, not the People.

Why has the JDDC not removed Judge Weaver from the bench yet? Why is Susan Kaye Weaver not in prison yet? Why are the People of the State of Arkansas allowing their most basic Constitutional rights to be violated? How is Susan Weaver able to intimidate so many lawyers into cowering in a corner while she destroys the institution of supposed justice?

These questions are not asked rhetorically. Please respond in the comments below. Or contact me privately with your own tale of horror. bohemian_books@yahoo.com

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.

    FBI needs to get involved. This is heartbreaking. But this is exactly what they want, frailty..weekend litigants that can not challenge their devilish agenda.
