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.”
Ex parte Wall, 107 U.S. 265, 2 S. Ct. 569, 27 L. Ed. 552 (1883)
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.
Clerk and Court Reporter Give Fraudster More Time to Hide the Money
My former romantic and business partner admitted, through his attorney, to advertising on Craigslist for a blue-eyed blond less than half his age. This while we were living together, and he was spending my passive income as if it was his own.
The lecherous middle-aged man also wrote and signed a letter telling his dad, Walter Pietrczak of Malvern Arkansas that he was collecting thousands of dollars from me under the pretense that we were splitting the property we accumulated while together in half. He warned his dad to keep it a secret from me until I paid the full amount, and then have attorney William Zac White file a lawsuit that said I defrauded him and did not pay the mortgage.
Despite a judge, Susan Kay Weaver, colluding with Mr. White and the Court Reporter Jana Perry, I was able to get dismissed from the case as an individual.
But I was not allowed to represent a trust that held the property, because I am not a licensed attorney.
I could find no attorney brave enough to represent the trust. With the Court’s obvious animosity toward me, it would be professional suicide to be associated with me.
Judge Susan Weaver denied my motion to intervene on behalf of the trust.
The judge gagged me (figuratively), then held a kangaroo court and awarded the entire property and then some to my former partner, a felon and drug addict. She also approved a fraudulent transfer of the property into an irrevocable trust, making it that much harder for me to recover the property after appeal.
Judge Weaver signed an order that found me guilty of all kinds of things as an individual and seized my property interests without any opportunity to defend myself.
Step in the Searcy County Clerk, Debbie Loggins. Ms. Loggins recorded the judgment under my name as an individual. (She said she corrected that on Friday, July 15, after I discovered the error.)
I filed a notice of appeal and was waiting for the record to be produced by the clerk and court reporter. I had 90 days to get the record filed. That would be today, July 19, 2022.
While I waited, the Pietrczaks sold the property for almost $200K and transferred the money into the irrevocable trust. The buyer’s title insurance company will probably blame their mistake on Clerk Loggins.
The transcript was emailed to me at 9:56 P.M. on Sunday, July 17th.
The clerk realized I was allowed to pay electronically but chose to drive an hour and a half each way to pick up my check and drop off the record on Monday evening, July 18th.
The Court of Appeals received my filing in the wee hours of July 19th.
I had prepared a petition for writ of certiorari to compel the clerk and court reporter to do their jobs. It is not necessary to file that now. It wasn’t wasted effort, as it may be what convinced the two conniving government employees to do their jobs.
Since I put in the effort, I will post the petition here. Sorry about the formatting. A download of the properly formatted PDF is available at the bottom.
IN THE ARKANSAS COURT OF APPEALS
RURAL REVIVAL LIVING TRUST; AND LAURA LYNN HAMMETT APPELLANTS
v. CASE No. 65CV-21-20
MICHEAL PIETRCZAK APPELLEE
PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO COMPLETE THE RECORD
COMES NOW, on this 18th day of July, Laura Lynn Hammett, Appellant, pro se, and for this Petition for Writ of Certiorari to Complete the Record and in support thereof states, pursuant to cited authorities and facts attested to by affidavit filed concurrently:
- This motion is filed pursuant to Ark. Sup. Ct. R. 3-5(a). Rule 3-5(a) permits this Court to authorize its Clerk to issue a writ of certiorari to a circuit court clerk or court reporter to prepare the record on appeal.
- Attached to this motion is a partial record. The partial record consists of certified copies of documents from the Searcy County Circuit Court Clerks file in the above-styled case. These certified documents requested on July 15, 2022 were “all orders in the case and the motion for extension of time filed June 17th, 2022”. The order of July 13, 2022 denying an extension of time to file the record was not included in the packet by the clerk and so an uncertified copy printed from the Court Connect site was included.
- That on April 20, 2022, Appellant timely filed a Notice of Appeal and Declaration of Record to Supreme Court of Arkansas with the Searcy County Circuit Court.
- The appellant, in compliance with Rule 6(b), has timely ordered the stenographically reported material from the court reporter and made any financial arrangements required for its preparation.
- The Record on Appeal shall be filed with the Clerk of the Arkansas Supreme Court and docketed therein within 90 days, July 19, 2022. (Ark. R. App. P. 5(a)
- If the record will not be prepared timely, the appellant must give the other parties an opportunity to object to an extension either in writing or by hearing. (Ark. R. App. P. 5(b)(1)(C))
- If the motion is made in writing, the opposing party has 10 days plus weekends to respond. (Ark. R. Civ. P. 6)
- Therefore, in order to ensure time for an opposition and for the Court to decide a motion for extension of time, Appellant filed a motion on June 17, 2022 despite the hope and assurances that the Court Reporter and Clerk will complete their tasks timely.
- This order requested was to be contingent on the need for an extension of time for the court reporter to include the stenographically reported material in the record on appeal or for the circuit clerk to compile the record and would extend the time allowed until the complete record is compiled and Appellant notified of such plus three business days, but no more than seven months.
- Appellee did not oppose the motion. He made no response.
- The Trial Court denied the motion for extension of time on July 13, 2022 with no stated reasoning.
- On June 7, 2022 Court Reporter Jana Perry replied to an email inquiry that the “electronic appeal record will be filed on July 15, 2022”. As of this writing on July 16, 2022, Appellant was not notified of a filing nor readiness of the transcript.
- On June 8, 2022, Appellant spoke with Circuit Clerk Debbie Loggins. Ms. Loggins said the electronic appendix would be complete by July 5, 2022.
- Appellant made several inquiries of the deputy clerks and was told Debbie Loggins would need to answer the inquiries. Having no communication from Debbie Loggins between June 8th and July 14, 2022, Appellant left a voice mail stating that she would be to the clerk’s office in Searcy County on the afternoon of July 15, 2022. She asked for all orders and the motion for extension of time to be certified and for a separate packet of all documents filed since October 7, 2021 certified.
- On the afternoon of July 15, 2022, Appellant was at the clerk’s office. The requested documents were not ready. Deputy clerk Mary Beth prepared the orders and the one motion, apparently missing the order of July 13, 2022.
- Appellant spoke with Clerk Debbie Loggins for well over twenty minutes. The Clerk told Appellant that the record would take only an hour to prepare, but Ms. Loggins was not going to prepare it until Saturday, July 16, 2022. The clerk said this is the first electronic record she has prepared. She said she had a woman doing them for $100 each, and was going to have her daughter do them from now on, but assured Appellant she would complete the record in this case herself. [The cost charged to me for the completed electronic record was over $3,000. Good money maker for the clerk’s office and good way to keep the middle class from access to the appellate court.]
- Clerk Debbie Loggins told Appellant she would call her when the record is ready on Saturday. As of Sunday, July 17, 2022 at 12:15 P.M., Appellant received no call from the Clerk.
- Appellant asked Clerk Loggins if she could pay while she was already in the office. The Clerk said Appellant had the choice of driving back from Conway to Marshall on the following Monday or leaving a “blank check”. Neither option makes Appellant comfortable, and thus she is filing this petition to be certain to be in strict compliance.
- That for the foregoing reasons, counsel hereby requests that this Court grant the Writ of Certiorari to Complete the Record and order the record to be completed by the Court Reporter and Circuit Clerk within thirty (30) days.
WHEREFORE, Petitioner Hammett requests that this Court authorize its Clerk to issue a writ of certiorari to the Searcy County Circuit Court Clerk directing the clerk to complete preparation of the record on appeal in this case; and to the Court Reporter directing her to complete the transcripts.
Respectfully submitted, ______________________________
NOT SUBMITTED – MOOT
Attorney William Zac White Running and Hiding
Who is the seediest attorney in Arkansas? My vote goes to William “Zac” White.
Judge Susan Weaver awarded a property that was held in trust to one of Mr. White’s clients, Mike Pietrczak, despite evidence presented that Mr. White knew his client was committing fraud on the trustee of the trust, me. Mr. White had a handwritten letter signed by his client that described the fraud. One of his helpers wrote a post it note that was in the same box of documents that said “ASK ZAC about Pietrczak’s letter”.
This was a default judgment because no attorney could be found to represent the trust and I was threatened with incarceration if I represented the trust. (I was denied a motion to intervene and had a heck of a time finding an attorney brave enough to go against Judge Weaver. Taking the case would be professional suicide.)
Judge Weaver should have dismissed the claim in August 2021, because Mr. White set the matter for trial before issuing a summons on the trust.
At the “trial”, to which no jurors were invited, Mr. White asked for a continuance and an extension of time to serve the trust the non-existent summons.
Mr. White said I was “running and hiding”. Court Reporter Jana Perry didn’t write that line in the transcript. She left out lots of other important stuff, too. And added in a few gems.
Of course I was not running and hiding. No summons was served on me as an individual, I found out about the case when I was doing research, and I answered, wrote a counter-claim and prepared for trial anyhow.
White, Weaver and Perry continued to work together as a team, apparently, until April 2022, when the trust property was given to Mr. White’s client. Of course, Mr. White and his helpers will be paid from the proceeds of sale. The property was sold for almost $200,000.
I have an interest in the property. I am the one Mr. White’s client defrauded. I am trustee and sole current beneficiary of the trust. My kids were supposed to inherit the property if I didn’t sell it sooner.
White said he was dismissing me from the case as an individual, then claimed I could not say anything in the default judgment hearing. I was not dismissed yet; I guess I was denied my most fundamental right in anticipation of when I’d be dismissed. When the order granting the property and then some was written, Judge Weaver said I did a bunch of stuff wrong as an individual and that I had no right to the property any longer. Jana Perry transcribed the hearing quite differently. They look like Brother Bear and Sister Bear in one of my favorite books, “Berenstain Bears and the Truth”. The story evolves as each adds their imaginations.
I filed a notice of appeal and sent a certified copy to Mr. White.
It was returned today as “REFUSED”. Who is running and hiding now, Willy?
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver Abuse of Discretion?
Often regular folk who can’t afford an attorney will try to represent him or herself in court. The fancy lawyer word for this is “pro se” or “pro per”.
Judges and lawyers don’t care for self-represented litigants much. My sister was an attorney and sometime judge pro tem (another fancy lawyer word meaning temporarily). She liked to call self-represented litigants “im pro per”. Very punny.
It seems like some attorneys and even judges treat pro se litigants unfairly. An educated guess for the motivation is that the ones with the law degrees think the self-represented won’t know the rules, making it easy to cheat. The elitists probably get away with this unethical conduct more often than not.
But our laws are based on fairness, and people generally know when they are being treated unjustly.
The problem is that most of the people who are not educated in law can’t express themselves in a way that is easy to understand.
Many pro se litigants have made comments on my blogs and articles. Often, they sound like rants.
In a case like one presided over by Judge Susan Weaver in Searcy County, Arkansas, in which I am the defendant and counterclaimant, there are many moving parts. It is not easy to give a concise synopsis that someone with a sixth-grade education can understand. (That is the way I was taught to write when I studied journalism at Colorado State University decades back.)
So, I will discuss just one bite size piece here.
Judge Weaver appears to have abused the discretion allowed to a judge because in similar situations she acted in a different way.
For example, in the case against me, Pietrczak, 65CV-21-20, I learned about the case on my own. No summons was served on me to that point. There was a second defendant, a trust, and no summons was issued on the trust. Of course with no summons issued, there could be no summons served.
On June 10, 2021, a few days after I came upon the internet case docket, I filed a motion for continuance. The docket said there would be a “final hearing” on August 4, 2021 and all parties would need to file their exhibits for the trial. It seemed obvious to me that we were not ready for trial.
There was no summons issued on a joint defendant.
There was no summons served on me.
There was no opportunity for discovery.
Judge Weaver acted like she disagreed. She ignored my motion for continuance.
I contacted the Trial Court Administer, also a Weaver, Tammy Weaver. She said my motion was unacceptable.
Mid-July I filed a second motion for continuance. Judge Susan Weaver ignored that one also.
About July 28, 2021 I contacted the TCA again. She said the second motion was unacceptable. I was perplexed. I had basically copied a motion for continuance written by an attorney that was granted by a different judge.
So, I spent a weekend with a paid assistant and prepared 25 exhibits for trial. Then I filed the exhibits with Tammy Weaver and the court reporter, Jana Perry. I also filed the exhibits with the clerk for the docket, because I knew there was something fishy going on.
Plaintiff’s counsel, William Z. White of Heber Springs did not file any exhibits.
At the Zoom hearing on August 4, 2021, there was no jury assembled for voir dire.
Mr. White asked for a continuance and Judge Weaver granted it.
Basically, the Court caused me to tip my hand to the opposing party. When they saw that I would win, they decided to postpone the “game”.
Judges have a wide leeway to schedule trials and give continuances. It is called judicial discretion.
But, a judge’s rulings should not defy all logic. And there should be consistency.
There was another case involving Judge Weaver and attorney White, Joseph Miller v. FL Davis Center Inc, et al, 71CV-19-28. Willy White came into the case as a defense attorney late. He filed a motion for continuance, to give himself a chance to get up to speed. The hearing he wanted to continue was set for September 24, 2019.
Mr. White filed his motion on September 19, 2019.
Judge Weaver continued the hearing on September 24, 2019 by a text entry on the docket.
Judge Weaver signed a formal order to continue the hearing of September 24th on September 26th.
Here is a screen shot of the docket and a downloadable copy of the order. Notice that there were a lot of details on the order left blank.
Why, oh why, would Judge Weaver decide to grant a continuance to William Zack White’s client for a motion filed days before or on the day of a hearing, but not grant a continuance for a pro se litigant who was not served summons yet?
A. Judge Susan Weaver has no common sense.
B. Judge Susan Weaver is cognitively challenged.
C. Judge Susan Weaver is unethical.
D. All of the above.
How Judge Susan Weaver Kills the Economy
There is one thing all my exes agree on. I know how to make money.
I have the “Midas touch”. I am a “cash cow”. A “money magnet”.
My siblings could sell me into slavery, and I would probably end up advising kings.
I am also generous. To a fault, some say.
For example, when a fraudster named Micheal “Mike” Pietrczak marked me, he had $3.71 in his pocket, lived in free housing for dual diagnosed addicts and could not get a driver’s license until he paid off old fines to the State of Washington. I paid off his debts and capitalized an estate liquidation business he wanted to build.
I also worked long hours to help him build the business. When Mike Pietrczak went on continual drunken binges, my young son stepped into the drunkard’s position in the estate liquidation business and we held it together. All the while, I pursued a lawsuit that left Mike Pietrczak and me enough money to buy a 40 acre property in Searcy County Arkansas, two new trucks, two new ATVs and we could live off my passive income for the rest of our lives.
When it became apparent that Mike Pietrczak was not going to sober up, was advertising for hookers and he would probably kill or maim someone while drunk, I broke up with him. (He ended up causing his own paralysis by falling or jumping from a tree, soon after writing a suicide note and mentioning “a tree”, “a bottle of whiskey” and “a rope” in another rant.)
Mr. Pietrczak had started cleaning up an old schoolhouse in Witts Springs. (In his sober moments, he was a hardworking, lovely person.)
When the 45ish man decided to leave me to look for an 18- to 21-year-old, blue-eyed blond on Craigslist, I took over the renovation of the community building. I gave a grant of $45,000 to Community Voices to get the job done. Unlike Amber Heard, I did not “pledge” the money. I gave the money as an anonymous grant.
I am thinking about this today because I saw an advertisement on the Bargains Galore on 64 Facebook page. It is asking for volunteers to clean up a similar school building in Oklahoma.
That is exactly the kind of work I would be doing, if I wasn’t spending so much time trying to protect my remaining assets from a corrupt judicial officer named Susan Weaver and the attorneys she favors.
Judge Weaver already ordered the transfer of the Witts Springs property from a trust that I am trustee and beneficiary of to an irrevocable trust benefitting Mr. Pietrczak and to pay his attorney.
Judge Susan Weaver scared off any attorney who would represent the trust and forbid me from saying one word on behalf of the trust, under threat of incarceration for practicing law without a license.
I also have another lawsuit against a debt buyer named Portfolio Recovery Associates, LLC who made incessant phone calls to me about a debt I did not incur. If I win that lawsuit, as I should, I will have potentially several million dollars to invest.
Susan Kaye Weaver makes me uncomfortable to invest that money here. There would need to be a loud message sent to other kleptocrats that they shouldn’t drive away talent and philanthropists by making unethical transfers of their property, first. Perhaps Ms. Weaver could be incarcerated for honest services fraud, or similar. I am not an attorney, but I think there is enough evidence of corrupt acts, such as colluding to alter the record of court proceedings, to prosecute the wayward judge.
It is a shame. I am now married to a wonderful man who grew up in Arkansas. I love the natural beauty and most of the people in this state. But it only takes one witch with a poison apple and a broomstick to drive me away.
How many others who control assets will stay out of Arkansas to protect themselves from subjection to jurisdiction on cases presided over by Judge Susan Kaye Weaver and her ilk?
Nobody Mention the King is Naked, Please.
This is a repost of a piece I wrote in 2014. Names and places have changed, but the system is broken in the same way.
For many years I risked the wrath of the people who have taken over the court in Los Angeles, by writing about some of the more public acts of corruption. I did not have to dig too deep or have any magic powers. I lived 120 miles away from L.A. and drove up there just for court dates and on the off chance I might be able to see my then minor child.
Commissioner Alan Friedenthal, who the California Supreme Court finally ruled showed bias against me, had ordered and maintained that mother and child should be completely separated. DCFS did not recommend that. No psychiatrist or psychologist was consulted. My record was spotless…except for that one parking ticket I got in Studio City. My lifelong medical record shows that I am hesitant to even take prescription drugs and I have never been a drinker.
My situation was not unique. My new friends Janette Isaacs, R.V., “Sam” and the rest all had nearly identical stories. In fact, I was once “accused” of writing something threatening about Al Friedenthal by Sargeant Wheatcroft; But the posting he was griping about was not even written by me. The author mentioned her “new husband” in the post, and I was a single woman and not in a serious relationship yet. The only difference between me and most of the others was my willingness to use my true identity, at the risk of illegal retaliation. And “the court” did retaliate.
Years have passed. My children both aged out and we are able to enjoy each other again. We are healing, slowly. The scars are deep.
One of the worst scars is that we have no faith in our legal system. We distrust police and judges. We also fear other humans, because they may be able to harm us with impunity.
I have a simple legal dispute in San Diego now. It is a property dispute, based on contract and an interference with that contract.
The defendants in that case thought I would not be able to afford an attorney to protect my rights. They did not know I self-studied law and had the best training any lawyer could ask for…taking on the team of government paid attorneys and judges in LASC. My civil case should be a slam dunk.
Unfortunately, I have a handicap. One of the bad apples from Los Angeles, Tamila Ipema, transferred to San Diego. It is possible she will spoil the whole bunch.
Judge Ipema presided over a restraining order hearing involving one of the conspirators in my civil case and me. Though she did not go as far as Judge Elizabeth Feffer, issuing a restraining order that would need to be fought to the U.S. Supreme Court, she did not give me protection from the other party, either. The other party claimed to have video of me threatening him, but refused to show that video to the court. He did enter an article I wrote as evidence. The article was titled “Is The LASC a Racketeering Organization?” It was written December 30, 2010. Three years ago.
I objected to this evidence as irrelevant. Judge Ipema admitted it.
Here is the entire text. Look for anything that looks remotely threatening to anyone, that would warrant a restraining order. Also note that Tamila did not disclose that she worked in L.A. Family Law until 2008 and came up through the ranks with Commissioner Alan Friedenthal.
**************************************************
Human Rights Alert (NGO) and Joseph Zernik, PhD, released a proposed schematic organizational chart of the LA-JR (alleged Los Angeles Judiciary Racket). They wrote: “The organizational chart proposes that LA-JR is widespread and well established, is supported by justice system agencies, and colludes with law firms and financial institutions large and small. However, It should be noted that the LA-JR today is primarily focused on a white-collar crime, and as such – is a loosely organized enterprise. Court Counsel Frederick Bennett, Clerk of the Court John A Clarke, and Judge Jacqueline Connor are listed in leadership positions.”
Is the Los Angeles Superior Court a racketeering organization whose members can and should be indicted under RICO laws, much as the mafia?
Most people think of racketeers as God Father characters, Jimmy Hoffa or Scarface. They think of gangsters toting guns and making extortionist threats in the shadows late at night. They think of bricks of cocaine and porno.
Ah…recent exposure of an often appointed custody evaluator named Dr. Joseph Kenan may bridge the gap between the perception of the Court as a professional, decorious establishment, and a typical racketeering organization.
Even though Local Rules of Court 14.21 does not specify that custody evaluators should not be men known to associate with porn stars and run alleged crack houses, it seems the judicial officers responsible for making delicate decisions about custody should have at least a smidgeon of common sense.
This reporter questions the motivation for Judge Elizabeth Feffer, Judge Scott Gordon, Commissioner Alan Friedenthal and others for accepting evaluations from a man whose reputation is of throwing drug fests and hiring male prostitutes. Let’s just say the integrity of the court is brought into disrepute.
Where is the CJP while the Los Angeles Superior Court gains the reputation of ordering payment to and services of men like Dr. Kenan, AKA Joe-blo? Well, they are in San Francisco. Nuff said.
*******************************************
Welcome to Arkansas, 1954. Um, sorry 2022.
Judge Susan Weaver is transferring properties from trusts to her pet attorney’s clients, without service on the trustee with notice of the action.
In my case, I allege she colluded with the court reporter and attorney William Zac White to falsify the record. Judge Weaver and Jana Perry used your tax dollars to evade playing the tapes that were inaccurately transcribed.
I have spent countless hours and thousands of dollars trying to retain an attorney who is brave enough to argue to the Court of Appeals that the record should be settled by playing the tapes. None can be found.
Perhaps the lawyers are foreshadowing the response from the Court of Appeals…anger at me for speaking the truth.
Is there no one in power who wants to preserve our fine system of law and order? The JDDC? The Arkansas Attorney General? The FBI?
So far, mine is a lonely small voice. Can you hear me? “The King has no clothes.”
Why Judge Weaver Keeps the Record Under Wraps: The New Nixon & Weavergate
There is a reason court reporters make transcripts of hearings.
An audio recording is a better record. But electronic records deteriorate faster than paper and become obsolete. Now that “paper” records are stored electronically by the courts, that reason is negated.
It is quicker to read than to listen. An hour-long hearing transcript takes about 20 minutes to read.
It is easier to “rewind” print than electronic communications.
The advantages to using the audio recording for a court record is that it is more accurate. It is harder to edit than a transcript.
Hopefully court reporters are always honest. But they are not.
I allege that Jana Perry in Searcy County Arkansas purposefully made two inaccurate transcripts in a case in which I was a defendant.
I asked to have the tape played back. Ms. Perry refused.
I asked Judge Susan Weaver to “settle the record” by playing back the tape in open court. She refused.
I made a Freedom of Information Act request for the recording. Judge Weaver refused to approve the FOIA request.
I need the record of the case as evidence in another case. So, I sent a subpoena to Jana Perry.
An assistant Attorney General wrote a motion to quash the subpoena for Ms. Perry. Your tax dollars at work. Ironically, one reason he gave was that producing a copy of the audio recording was a burden. How much more of a burden was writing the motion, the response and having the court read the response?
Why so secretive? You decide.
A. Judge Weaver does not like the sound of her own voice.
B. Jana Perry wants to drum up business, and there is not as much mark-up when emailing the audio. (This is one reason the AG gave in the motion to quash.)
C. Judge Weaver and Jana Perry are guilty of honest services fraud for purposefully making a false record of a case in which Judge Weaver transferred title to a property worth at least $200K from an unrepresented trust to a convicted felon and his attorney.
D. B & C.

I do not want your courtesy. I have blocked you from all means of communication with my office. Send me a summons or just go away. Put that on your worthless blog. Last warning.

That was his last “last warning”. Here are a few more culled from various emails he sent to me. Cut and pasted. The errors are the esteemed attorney’s. Bold added.

All of them. Consider this your only cease abs desist warning. I like reading how other courts around the country have admonished your behavior. Already dealing with the office of professional conduct. I have asked to file a complaint against you.

Ms Hammett,
I have instructed you not to communicate with me or my office staff since you are no longer a party to this action and there is no legitimate reason for you to contact us. I have had enough of your threats. I do not care who you email but do not include me or my staff members. I am done with you and trying to move on civilly. This is your last warning.

I will do no such thing. You made the record a convoluted and ridiculous. I will not agree to help you or your “case” in anyway. I will never meet you in person unless I subpoena you and your husband for depositions or your criminal contempt trial. Once again do not contact my office. As I mentioned I will be filing a police report for your incessant harassment. Do yourself a favor and go away before I take an actual interest in putting you in jail. You lost deal with it. Next time you should not try to evade child support with your hair brained schemes. Last warning. Do not contact my office again.

About the use of a trust to protect assets, I found an article on the Experian website. Here is a quote from work by Erica Sandberg:
“With a revocable trust, your assets will not be protected from creditors looking to sue. That’s because you maintain ownership of the trust while you’re alive. Therefore if you lose a lawsuit and a judgment is awarded to the creditor, the trust may have to be closed and the money handed over.”
I am not an attorney. William White is an attorney.
If he dismissed the trust and won against me, he could probably have reached the assets in the trust. (That may be why Willy didn’t issue a summons directed to the trust for six months.) But he dismissed me and won against the trust by default (because no attorney would take the case and jeopardize his career with the wrath of Judge Weaver).
Now the Court of Appeals will need to decide if the trustee, beneficiary and settlor of a living trust is allowed to present testimony and evidence at a hearing on damages when the trust is not represented but the trustee is a joint defendant, is present and prepared to present evidence.
Justice would be served if Judge Weaver had imputed my defenses on the defaulting joint defendant, especially because I owned the property held in the trust.
But why talk about Justice and Judge Weaver in the same sentence?
