Judge with an Agenda v. Criminal Conduct
Let’s not put Judge Lee P. Rudofsky in the same category as Judge Susan K. Weaver.
The former has a bias that is anti-populist, and he may overlook things for a blue-collar litigant and treat big businesspeople like they would never think to lie.
The latter is outright criminal (allegedly, of course).
So, why would I write about the Judge Rudofskys of the world? And should I be dropping the “y” and adding “ies” to make Rudofsky plural?
Well, one of his rulings hit me hard and contradicts what I believe to be true, based on facts. When I wrote about him here, my Search Engine Optimization spiked like COVID in February 2020.
Give the People what the people want. Right now, they want to rail on Judge Rudofsky.
A Corrupt Court is Akin to Slavery
The corruption in our courts is so pervasive, it seems impossible to find a judge who bases decisions on facts instead of politics and pure greed.
Don’t the judges who transfer property from poor and modest means people to big businesses and the monied elite know they are turning their victims into slaves? Or do they just not care?
Let’s pray today for good people from all political persuasions to go to law school and when they succeed, to not sell out.
A judge I Hate to Hate: Judge Lee P. Rudofsky
Most of the time I am railing on buffoons like Commissioner Alan H. Friedenthal (deceased) and plump little piggies like Judge Susan Weaver, who admitted as per a Gazette reporter to loving to play with other people’s money.
Unfortunately, I must turn to a more serious threat to our country and the Republican party. (I am a right leaning Libertarian, registered Republican in 2016 so I could vote for Ben Carson or Rand Paul instead of Donald Trump.)
There is a newish young Federal District Court Judge named Lee P. Rudofsky.
Judge Rudofsky has the right pedigree. He went to Cornell and Harvard.
He is not lazy. He reads documents and makes intelligent commentary in his long hearings.
I agree with some of his views.
But this week I had a rude awakening. Judge Rudofsky misstated facts presented in my opposition to a motion for summary judgment and ruled for the goliath company defending against making obnoxious, intrusive telephone calls to alleged debtors, without verifying the debt first.
I didn’t take the leftist organizations seriously until now. For example, The Alliance for Justice had this to say about Judge Rudofsky when he was a nominee. “Rudofsky’s record paints a clear picture of a partisan warrior bent on curtailing critical rights and protections for everyday people.”
The case I am fighting should carry a jury award for punitive damages in the millions. The defendant, Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC has paid out tens of millions in stipulated agreements already and does not curtail its bad behavior.
I would love to take on an attorney for an appeal of Judge Rudofsky’s orders on contingency. I think my case is a good vehicle to bring together populist Republicans and Libertarians with true Democrats and even socialists.
We all want honest judges who support the individual.

Dishonorable Lee P. Rudofsky: A Dangerous Man
In poker, an effective move is to slow play a monster hand. I once got into a hand with low suited connectors for $2 and flopped a straight flush. I checked and another player raised $10. (Unfortunately, all the other players folded and the pot did not get any higher, but the house paid a $210 bonus.)
A federal district court judge named Lee P. Rudofsky just slow played me.
I was thrilled by Judge Rudofsky’s demeanor. He runs the proceedings well and is patient. He is listening, reads the documents and repeats back important points.
He did not always rule the way I wanted him to rule, but he was within his discretion and made only one misstatement of law. It was about an ancillary issue, whether pro se litigants may be given permission to file electronically.
Until his first substantive decision.
Judge Rudofsky decided a Motion for Summary Judgment in favor of a goliath debt buyer, Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC, based on a grossly misstated fact set.
One of the early poor discretionary calls was allowing PRA to keep its filings, including the MSJ, under seal. For fear of being found in contempt of court, I filed my response under seal.
This made it easy for the sneaky judge to misstate what was in the response.
If Judge Lee P. Rudofsky is ever looked at for promotion, please contact me. If I have not been successful at unsealing the telling documents, I will cooperate fully with those who can.
Obstruction of Justice?
obstruction of justice (1854) Interference with the orderly administration of law and justice, as by giving false information to or withholding evidence from a police officer or prosecutor, or by harming or intimidating a witness or juror. • Obstruction of justice is a crime in most jurisdictions. — Also termed obstructing justice; obstructing public justice. See perverting the course of justice.
“The goal, — to proscribe every wilful act of corruption, intimidation or force which tends in any way to distort or impede the administration of law either civil or criminal — has been very largely attained, partly by aid of legislation. And any punishable misdeed of such a nature which is not recognized as a distinct crime, is usually called ‘obstruction of justice,’ or ‘obstructing justice,’ — a common-law misdemeanor.” Rollin M. Perkins & Ronald N. Boyce, Criminal Law 552 (3d ed. 1982).
OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, Black’s Law Dictionary (11th ed. 2019)
Does this apply when a court reporter, such as Jana Perry of the Circuit Courts in Arkansas, purposefully makes an inaccurate transcription of a hearing?
What if a judge, such as Susan Kaye Weaver, threatens to refer a person for prosecution of the crime of the unauthorized practice of law if that person argues or testifies on her own behalf, just because the testimony will also benefit another entity?
And what about if an attorney, such as William Zac White of Heber Springs is colluding with the judge and court reporter and threatens to report their victim to a sympathetic good ol’ boy sheriff on trumped up charges?
I prefer the term for Obstruction of Justice used in other countries.

What Will Become of a Wicked Judge?
One truth told in the Old Testament is probably agreed to by the faithful and atheists alike.
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jerimiah 17:9, KJV)
What happens when a judge in the court of man allows her wicked heart to lead her?
It is a disaster for the society she was tasked to control.
For example, my favorite evil judge, Susan Weaver, has on more than one occasion, approved the transfer of property from an old woman’s trust to a reprobate.
If the settlor of the trust is not invited to the festivities (not served summons) or if the trustee cannot afford a licensed attorney to represent the trust, Judge Weaver acts entitled to make idiotic decisions.
It is hard to believe the powers that be would get a moron elected. So, the wayward judge must just be evil.
We are all affected by a bad judge. The poor and underrepresented are affected most directly. (This tends to be minorities and women.)
How many hard-working African-American women have scrimped and saved to be able to pay off their homes? How many have thought that putting the house in a trust would help pass the property to their children or favorite charity without a cumbersome probate? And how many have had evil judges like Susan Kaye Weaver transfer the property to the control of a person whose stewardship the settlor distrusted specifically?
And what becomes of the judge after she is exposed?
Stay tuned.
Animal Farm and Judge Susan Weaver of Arkansas
Remember when the pigs altered the bill of rights each night while the other animals slept?
Welcome to Searcy County Arkansas with its own Animal Farm ruled over by piggies like Susan Weaver.
I have complained to sheriff deputies in Searcy County, where Judge Weaver presides. I complained in Faulkner County, my home and another realm ruled over by Weaver.
Today, I complained to a sheriff in Hot Springs County, where one of Weaver’s cohorts resides.
I allege that Judge Weaver, Court Reporter Jana Perry and Attorney William White colluded to transfer a 40-acre property with a house to one of White’s clients and then in an allegedly fraudulent transfer to an irrevocable trust. Ms. Perry fictionalized the dialogue in two or three hearings.
I was in the hearings and had others present who agree that the transcripts do not give an accurate account of what was said.
The problem is, Judge Weaver and Jana Perry control the audio recordings, the best evidence of what happened, and neither one will let them be heard.
Back on the farm, all three sheriff deputies I spoke with said they cannot do anything about it.
The guy today went so far as to say that even if he heard a judge in Arkansas lie from the bench, he could not do anything about it.
The Court has free rein to alter the record in any way she wants.

Count Your Blessings if You are Victimized by Attorney William Z. White – It Could Be Worse
“During the noon recess of the court, an attorney assisted a mob in taking a prisoner from the jail, and hanging him in the court-house yard. Owing to excitement of the people, no one was willing to testify against the attorney, or make an affidavit charging him with the offense. Held, that an order of the judge to the attorney to appear and show cause why his name should not be stricken from the roll, and reciting the offense with which he stood charged, was sufficient, under the special circumstances of the case, though the charge was not made on affidavit.”

Attorney Faces Discipline Over Sexist Slur
Thank you to attorney Robin Shea of Constangy Brooks Smith and Prophete LLP for her post on Lexology.
She recounts how an attorney lost in a hearing and then, when leaving, turned to the two female opposing counsel and said: “See you next Tuesday. See you next Tuesday.”
The comment seemed innocuous enough. Unless a person was hip to the slang meaning of “see you next Tuesday.” If you are not sensitive, you can read the meaning here.
Spoiler alert: It is a four-letter word that starts with C-U.
The judge presiding at that hearing, after being alerted to the meaning of the sentence, issued this order.
He said, in part:
“An attorney is an ‘officer of the court’ who, by virtue of his or her professional position, undertakes certain ‘special duties … to avoid conduct that undermines the integrity of the adjudicative process.’ ” (F.T.C. v. Network Services Depot, Inc. (9th Cir. 2010) 617 F.3d 1127, 1143.) In other words,” ‘[l]t is vital to the integrity of our adversary legal process that attorneys strive to maintain the highest standards of ethics, civility, and professionalism in the practice of law.’ (People v. Chong (1999) 76 Cal.App.4th 232, 243, 90 Cal.Rptr.2d 198.) Indeed, unwarranted personal attacks on the character or motives of the opposing party, counsel, or witnesses are inappropriate and may constitute misconduct. (Id. at p. 245, 90 Cal.Rptr.2d 198; see also Stone v. Foster (1980) 106 Cal.App.3d 334, 355, 164 Cal.Rptr. 901.)” (In re S.C. (2006) 138 Cal.App.4th 396, 412.) “When, during the course of trial, an attorney violates his or her obligations as an officer of the court, the judge may control the proceedings and protect the integrity of the court and the judicial process by reprimanding the attorney.” (Chong, supra, 76 Cal.App.4th at 243-244.)”
The judge referred the unprofessional conduct to the State Bar for disciplinary action.
Too bad Arkansas Circuit Court Judge Susan Kaye Weaver does not defend women against similar conduct.
On March 17, 2022, during the hearing in which attorney William Z. White admitted a non-suit against me was in order, he leaned toward me and said “Bitch” loudly.
Court Reporter Jana Perry decided not to include that sexist slur in the transcript of the hearing.
Judge Weaver completely ignored the slur. She was too busy transferring property that should have belonged to me to Mr. White and his client.
Like: “We’re going to dismiss you, Bitch, so shut your mouth. You are not allowed to speak the truth on behalf of your trust.” Oh, and see you next Tuesday.
Arkansas Judge Susan Weaver Throws a Tantrum
Judge Susan Weaver gave a 40-acre property and house that was held in a trust to a man, even after seeing a handwritten note signed by the man that described how he was committing fraud on the trustee of that trust.
I am the trustee. I was also named in the lawsuit as an individual. Because I was 100% right and the fraudster was 100% wrong, he dropped the suit against me.
The judge and fraudster’s lawyer thought they found a clever loophole.
A trustee cannot defend herself in court, unless she is a licensed attorney.
I told Judge Weaver that I had a heck of a time finding an attorney who would represent the trust, due to the appearance of bias by the court. I literally had an attorney refuse $300 per hour to represent the trust because if he did, he would never win a case in front of Judge Weaver again.
Then, after Weaver found against the unrepresented trust by default, I found an attorney who would at least file a notice of appeal for the trust. His name is Dustin Duke. He is not quite Oskar Schindler, but he does seem to like to protect the underrepresented.
Anyhow, Mr. Duke got me through to the Court of Appeals. Then he wrote a motion to withdraw as counsel.
Neither fraudster’s attorney nor I filed an opposition. But Judge Weaver did not grant Mr. Duke’s motion.
He filed an amended motion to withdraw. Again, silence from the judge.
Then, I filed the record in the COA. I followed up with a tell all motion to settle the record that describes how Judge Susan Weaver and Court Reporter Jana Perry fictionalized hearings and then kept the audio of the hearings under wraps.
All of a sudden Judge Weaver decided to grant Dustin Duke’s motion to withdraw, which would leave the trust unrepresented again.
The problem for Suzy is that she does not know law.
I am not an attorney. This is not legal advice. But I think that it is illegal to smoke weed in Arkansas without a medical marijuana card and I think jurisdiction, the authority of a court to act, passes from the trial court to the appellate court when the record on appeal is filed.
I think Judge Weaver’s order was two days late and amounts to nothing more than a tantrum by a spoiled child who found out she is going to have to return the toy she stole from a kid on the playground.
The sad part is, judges usually can’t be held liable for making bad calls, even if they purposefully do the wrong thing. But they can be incarcerated. Doesn’t happen often, but we can hope.
