Apparently, catching the corrupt ones on video sometimes helps attain a semblance of justice.

SPOILER ALERT!!! The cop-tyrant was prosecuted.

The little girl Skylar steals the show.

My prayer is that someday I am able to obtain the audio or Zoom video in hearings held before Queen Susan Kaye Weaver of Arkansas to play them for the public aside the transcripts fictionalized by court reporter Jana Perry. Perhaps then Judge Susan Weaver will be prosecuted for conspiring to falsify court records, the illegal taking of property rights under color of law, and obstruction of justice.

Why Does Arkansas Court Keep Proceedings Against Judge Susan Kaye Weaver Covered-up?

There is a lot of interest in Judge Susan Kaye Weaver of Arkansas Circuit Court on my blog today. So I looked at CourtConnect to see if anything was filed against her.

There was a case from 2022 that had not come to my attention before this. It was apparently a traffic violation for exceeding the speed limit by more than 15 miles per hour.

The problem is, there is scant record of the infraction nor of the opinions by her friend Judge Charles Clawson who presided. The ticket and the orders were not posted. It is customary to see those documents. The case was not designated “under seal” and there is no indication that any procedure was followed to allow for the Star Chamber.

Why is the Public that pays for our courts denied access to simple court documents about a sitting judicial officer?

Welcome to the new world order.

Justice for All. Except the Poor and Middle Class.

There is Walmart branded Capital One credit.

Walmart branded credit card accounts are sold to Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, the nation’s second largest debt collector.

Capital One credit card accounts are sold to Portfolio Recovery Associates.

Judge Lee P. Rudofsky’s last job before taking his lifetime seat on the federal bench was counsel to Walmart.

When presiding over Federal Debt Collection Practices Act cases against debt collectors, J. Rudofsky consistently rules against the plaintiff.

When presiding over an FDCPA case against Portfolio Recovery Associates, J. Rudofsky lied about what was written in court documents. He truncated a sentence to change its meaning and ignored evidence that was clearly contradictory to his orders.

This is not a good look for the judge nor the appellate court that upheld his rulings.

Are Our Appointed Judges For Life Really That Stupid, or Just Mean?

This is an excerpt from a motion to file in forma pauperis in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

It is in response to a question about what issues are on appeal.

The appeal is necessitated by an order issued by Judge Linda Lopez denying my request for a stay of execution of the judgment ordering me to pay the “attorney defendants'” attorney fees on an anti-SLAPP motion. Judge Linda Lopez said I could have the stay, but only if I posted a bond that would cost me about $8,000…if I could qualify at all. I am living on a $644 per month pension, so, even with my 780+ FICO score, a bondsperson might not want to hope for repayment.

*********************************

The Court lacked jurisdiction from the inception, due to lack of diversity. Because Silver Strand Plaza LLC was named as a defendant and the plaintiff is a member of SSP LLC, SSP LLC is a citizen of Arkansas as is plaintiff and there is no diversity of citizenship. The Court and the represented defendants, some who are attorneys, knew or should have known this and should have dismissed or asked to dismiss the case without prejudice.

     Pro Se plaintiff, who is not an attorney, fashioned the legal malpractice claim against the attorney defendants in the first amended complaint as a derivative claim. Plaintiff asked for leave to retain an attorney for the limited scope of advocating on the derivative claim. The court denied leave. The Court and the represented attorney defendants knew or should have known that Hammett was forbidden by law from advocating on a derivative claim, yet did not strike or ask to strike on that basis.

     Instead, the attorney defendants filed lengthy and repetitive anti-SLAPP motions and motions for attorney fees on the anti-SLAPP motions. When Plaintiff discovered her error she immediately filed a motion to withdraw, specifying the reason was her lack of authorization to practice law. The court granted the motion, then granted attorney fees to the attorney defendants based on the erroneous presumption that moving for dismissal indicated a lack of merits.

     This appeal addresses the courts order denying a stay of the judgment for attorney fees unless Hammett posts a bond. Hammett cannot afford to post a bond until her share of SSP LLC is disbursed to her, which is the focus of the suit.      The myriad of issues under appeal already may be and should be consolidated with this appeal.

[In answer to a later question, the motion to file IFP ended like this.]

I cannot afford filing fees until I can persuade a court to mandate Mary E. Sherman
and Silver Strand Plaza LLC to disburse my share of the remaining assets that were
embezzled or otherwise remain in the control of the defendants.
