And the Winner of the Award for Dumbest Attorney Ever Goes To…
William “Zac” White of Heber Springs Arkansas.
Mr. White rarely wins a case. Unless Judge Susan Weaver is presiding, and no summons is served on the defendant.
It seems that was the plan to transfer ownership of 40 acres and a house in Witts Spring, Arkansas to one of White’s clients, a convicted felon, Micheal “Mike” Pietrczak.
Unfortunately for Mr. White, he named this writer as a defendant. I found the case against me on Court Connect and began to vindicate myself, pro se.
My defense was far superior to the advocacy by the licensed attorney. The Judge, Susan Weaver, seemed to favor Mr. White to a degree that I consider unethical. Still, I had Mr. White on the ropes.
So, he hatched a scheme. He had named a second defendant, a trust. No attorney who saw the crazy rulings prior would take the case for the trust. If I represented the trust, I would be found to have committed the unauthorized practice of law, a misdemeanor that might subject me to a year in jail.
After I found indisputable evidence that Mike Pietrczak had committed fraud on me (posted below), Mr. White dismissed me with prejudice. He thought, and it seems like Judge Weaver agreed, that I could no longer make arguments or submit evidence in the case. (That is probably not true, as dismissed defendants often file motions, such as a motion for attorney fees.)
Judge Weaver and Mr. White went on to find against the trust on all claims and gave Mr. White a blank check to file for damages. I was not allowed to say one word about the facts of the case, even though I was ordered to attend the hearing and I am the trustee of the trust.
Then Mr. White wrote a proposed order in which the Court “finds” that I committed crimes and did all the things I was accused of in the complaint, things for which I was dismissed with prejudice.
Mr. White musta thunk he was pulling a fast one. He did not think that once a joint non-defaulting defendant is dismissed with prejudice, the defaulting defendant must also be dismissed.
In other words, I think the court must go through the complaint and strike out any sentence that says the trust and I did anything. The court already decided I did not do those things. “And” means both. So, the sentence is no longer true.
I’ll let y’all know if Judge Weaver weasles out of her signed dismissal with prejudice and if she finds me guilty of a bunch of charges with literally no opportunity to defend myself.
Will Judge Susan Kaye Weaver Make Findings Against A Dismissed With Prejudice Defendant?
[SPOILER ALERT: She did, after this post was written.]
Attorney William White filed a proposed order yesterday that says the Court finds this writer, Laura Lynn Hammett, guilty of several acts involving property Micheal Pietrczak purchased with money that he allegedly obtained from me by fraud. This was two days after Judge Weaver dismissed all claims against me with prejudice in writing.
Here is my response. I filed it a few hours after Mr. White filed his proposed order, as Judge Weaver has granted another of White’s proposed orders without giving me a chance to respond on August 19, 2021.
What a quandary for Judge Weaver. Does she rule in favor of the attorney who called me “bitch” in court and called this a “bull shit blog”, in front of Judge Weaver? Or does she rule for me, even though she lectured me for giving her “stink eye” during the hearing of March 17th after she refused to let me speak about my individual rights?
Hopefully she upholds her own written dismissal in my case.
It is a shame that Mr. White feels confident that Judge Weaver will contradict a two-day old dismissal with prejudice and help his client “hide” assets he obtained by fraud.
What do Y’all Think of “Judicial Immunity”?
Here is what most courts think:
“Further, allegations that judicial decisions were ‘conditioned upon a conspiracy or bribery,’ including allegations that a judge entered into a conspiracy ‘to predetermine the outcome of a judicial proceeding, while clearly improper, nevertheless does not pierce the immunity extended to judges.’ Ashelman v. Pope, 793 F.2d 1072, 1078 (9th Cir. 1986) (en banc). Judicial immunity applies so long as ‘the judge’s ultimate acts are judicial actions taken within the court’s subject matter jurisdiction.’ Id.; see alsoMcCarthy v. Mayo, 827 F.2d 1310, 1314-15 (9th Cir. 1987) (holding that allegations of conspiracy do not remove quasi-judicial immunity); Khazali v. Berns, 2016 WL 4479915, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Aug. 24, 2016) (‘Judicial immunity applies even if there are allegations that a judicial decision resulted from a bribe or a conspiracy.’); Gozzi v. County of Monterey, 2014 WL 6988632, at *7 (N.D. Cal. Dec. 10, 2014) (‘Moreover, even if the Judicial Defendants had acted corruptly and received bribes, as Plaintiff appears to allege, they would still be immune from Plaintiff’s § 1983 claim.’).” Rote v. Comm. on Jud. Conduct & Disability of Jud. Conf. of United States, No. 3:19-CV-1988-SI, 2021 WL 6197041, at *8 (D. Or. Dec. 30, 2021)
I understand the concept of judicial immunity. It seems overbroad to me and has extended to acts that I contend were taken by Judge Susan Weaver in Arkansas that were criminal, not “judicial”.
If the powers that be insist on extending judicial immunity to corrupt acts by judicial officers, they best be ready to pursue ethics violations and criminal charges against the alleged wayward judges.
Without meaningful ethics oversight and criminal prosecutions for honest services fraud or similar, we are living under the tyranny of an evil oligarchy, a band of black robed bandits.
Pro Se Litigant Dismissed From Suit Filed By Attorney William Z. White
With the tenacity of a pit bull, endless hours of tedious work and the favor of God, not necessarily in that order, even a pro se litigant can prevail against a licensed attorney.
It helps quite a bit if the attorney has a horrible track record and no case.
This writer just won a case, even though the presiding Judge, Susan K. Weaver, appeared to many attorneys and lay people to have a bias in favor of the opposing attorney, Mr. William Zac White of Heber Springs, Arkansas.
The Court might have made a further error by making an oral order for judgment against an unrepresented trust by default. In a case such as this, there is caselaw suggesting that when two parties are named jointly, if the non-defaulting party prevails, the defaulting party must also be dismissed. Because I am not an attorney, I must hire an attorney to represent the trust on appeal (if Judge Weaver does not reconsider her possible error before committing it to writing.)
Here is the order dismissing me as an individual with prejudice.
Willy White Wins One: Judge Susan Weaver Refuses to Allow a Joint Defendant to Argue
Attorney William Z. White out of Heber Springs Arkansas played the role of plaintiff’s attorney in a kangaroo court presided over by Judge Susan Weaver on March 17, 2022. He won an outrageous default judgment against an unrepresented trust, for now.
There is no published order on the hearing yet. Mr. White might be too busy gloating to put whole sentences on paper as he was ordered to do by the court.
The way I remember it, Mr. White opened the “trial” by saying he would dismiss me as an individual and only ask for default damages against the Rural Revival Living Trust.
Judge Weaver acted as if I was already dismissed and forbid me from cross examining the plaintiff, objecting to violations like leading the witness, and presenting the evidence I had that the plaintiff had deprived me of over $260,000 by fraud.
Judge Weaver transferred title of the property in dispute from the trust to the plaintiff.
I tried to explain to Judge Weaver that the trust was not represented because every attorney I consulted said taking the case would end his career. Judge Weaver said those allegations were “unfounded”.
It does not matter if allegations of bias are unfounded. It is the appearance of bias that makes a judge’s refusal to recuse unethical.
If the trust cannot engage counsel because of the appearance of bias by the judge, then the trust is denied due process…because of the judge.
Still, Mr. White bragged himself up all weekend and into the new week.
On Monday, March 21, 2022, 02:08:15 PM CDT, William Z. White <wzwhite@wzwhite.com> wrote this email to me:
“You really have no idea how the legal processes in the State of Arkansas work. You should be mindful of that. You have tried the whole ‘the system is against me’ approach in several of your other losing cases. How did that work out for you then?”
I’ll tell you an entertaining story.
A champion poker player was telling me about the game he was in the night before. He said he knew there were other players cheating.
I asked why he stayed if he knew the players were cheating. He said, “if they are so bad they have to cheat to win, they may win a few hands, but I will win overall. And I did.”
Sorry to be a downer to Mr. White, but a victory by default because all the attorneys I consulted with think Judge Weaver is throwing the case is not something that should make him proud.
In my mind, he looks like a pudgy bully who stole an ice-cream cone from a girl half his size.
Then as he gleefully walked down the street, licking the ball of ice-cream, he licked too hard and it fell right off the cone and landed in a pile of dog poop.
Hope Willy White enjoys his cone while he can.
Open Email to Attorney William Z. White
This blogger is ill and has used all the time she was able to sit up today to write an email concerning the unethical transfer of property from an older woman to the man who defrauded her into thinking he was in love with her. Cliche, yes. But true.
Hopefully, if God does not heal my disease, I will leave a legacy that helps the good people of Arkansas fend off tyrannical government employees, like judges, that transfer property to their friends and family, and themselves, of course.
Pardon the quality of this writing. It is done while I have eaten only a bowl of rice in more than two days, and can barely lift my head.
***************************************************
Mr. White and Staff,
I am extremely ill right now and can only sit for a few minutes at a time. Standing to scan makes me need to puke. But, because Judge Weaver appears to me to be ruling unethically and illegally, I won’t assume she will give me the stay I requested.
My Jewish grandmother who lived in the USSR survived the Bolsheviks and the Russian oligarchy stealing her property, killing her nine siblings and mother and ran, physically on her legs I was told, to Poland, then Germany, then crossed the Atlantic by ship and made it to Los Angeles. We are a tough breed.
Attached is a copy of the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014 and Designation of Successor Trustee for the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014 that transferred control of my assets to Micheal Pietrczak on July 23, 2015. Attached also is a revocation of Micheal Pietrczak as Trustee of the Laura Lynn Living Trust Dated December 25, 2014. A lawsuit regarding the trust will be filed as soon as Judge Weaver is removed from the bench, as I have no expectation of justice with Judge Weaver presiding.
I made my sons the trustees until July 2015 because Mr. Pietrczak was on a drunken binge, driving from California to Arkansas with our furniture and he was paying prostitutes for sex at the time. Mr. Pietrczak called me about December 28 and begged me to fly out to meet him because he was out of money already. He spent $15,000 driving from California to Clarendon Texas.
Once in Arkansas, Mr. Pietrczak defrauded me again into believing he loved me and considered me his “wife in the eyes of God”. Those were his words.
Mr. Pietrczak had no assets when we met. He was a felon on probation for using fraudulent documents at the US-Mexico border.
He used all my money and my unpaid labor to build a business. When we were denied our opportunity to purchase the property the business was in, I did all the physical labor of writing our arguments for court documents and won the case in spite of Mr. Pietrczak’s continual drinking binges and 24/7 use of cannabis. The arbitrator wrote that he favored the plaintiffs because my family had the assets to purchase the property, not that the broke alcoholic felon had the assets to buy the property. (The arbitrator even noted in writing that he considered me “a rescuer”.)
Mr. Pietrczak put everything that we both earned into his name, including the property on Lick Fork.
Mr. Pietrczak showed a loss on his income tax returns every year, and in fact did not file income tax returns until he met me, he said.
I offered in writing to give him half of what we had left from six years of my Silver Strand Plaza, LLC income and the lawsuit money. Instead of taking my gift gratefully, he and you greedily pursued this lawsuit that could only be won if you had a crooked judge on your side. (It was dismissed when I could afford to hire an attorney in 2018.)
But you saw another opportunity to have Judge Weaver transfer assets from an older woman’s trust to you and your client. Your client will need to pay all the money he keeps to medical bills that the government has paid for him thus far. So, unless you are slipping him some cash, the only individuals who profit are you and those you pay off to help you.
Hopefully Judge Weaver gives me at least a couple weeks to meet with doctors and rest. If she does not, and I am forced to comply with your overbroad subpoena, instead of caring for my health, I hope she will be charged with honest services fraud or at least removed from the bench. Those are probably appropriate outcomes already.
If not, I will keep in mind a friend of my family who was one of the people memorialized in the movie Defiance. I asked him why he believed in God. He said that if there was no God, he would not have survived 18 months in a forest in Germany after being shot in the leg by Nazis while escaping a concentration camp.
Regards,
Laura Hammett
No Need to Reinvent the Wheel: Government Officials in Searcy County, Arkansas are Repeat Offenders
Did you buy property in Searcy County, Arkansas? Did your lovely rural retreat turn into Hell on Earth?
Join the club.
I’ve complained about Judge Susan Weaver, Sheriff Deputy Ezra Pierce and Court Reporter Jana Perry.
It seems that the RICO type enterprise in Searcy County, Arkansas spreads into more than just the court and sheriff’s office. The clerk’s office looks a little fishy, too.
I researched Caseinfo.arcourts.gov to find other properties that Judge Weaver transferred from control by a trustee to a plaintiff who was purposefully left out of the trust, to see if there is a pattern.
One troubling case I found was not quite on target. The property was lost by judicial foreclosure, sold and the proceeds given to a bank. But the case was hotly contested for about seven years. Yikes!
The part that concerns me most is that the winner of the courthouse sale was the Deputy Clerk of Searcy County, Arkansas, Michelle Loggins.
So, the Clerk Debbie Loggins was the auctioneer of the property and the winner of the auction was Deputy Clerk Michelle Loggins and her husband Paul, who bid $82,000. Hmm?
You may ask, how does a deputy county clerk in podunk Arkansas afford to pay $82,000 cash at a courthouse sale? Well, the receipt from a month after the sale said the payor was “L & L Drywall”. There is an L & L Acoustic and Drywall in Mountain Home, Arkansas. Maybe Paul Loggins is involved with the drywall company. Or maybe the enterprising clerk is double escrowing the cheap deals that can be had through judicial foreclosures. [In reviewing the judgement written by Judge Susan Weaver, I see that Judge Weaver allowed the successful bidder three months of credit at 10% interest per annum. I have not seen any courthouse sale that extended credit before. Some non-judicial foreclosures require immediate payment. Some allow 24 hours. The one judicial foreclosure I’ve been involved with as a purchaser allowed us a brief time to pay, but we had the cash on the day we bid. (2/26/2022)]
The auction sale was not advertised in the local Marshall Mountain Wave. It was advertised in a paper out of Fayetteville in Northwest Arkansas.
The order confirming the sale in Searcy County Circuit Court case No. 65CV-14-20 was signed by Judge Susan Weaver on February 16, 2022.
Another thing that caught my attention is that the person who lost the property was named in two capacities in the suit, once as an individual, Jo Elliot, and once as a trustee of the John Paxton Elliot Trust. There were two summonses issued and served on the woman, one as an individual and one as “trustee”.
I’ve been complaining to Judge Weaver since June 2021 that I was sued as codefendant with a trust as the other defendant and no summons was issued to a trustee of the trust. After more than 200 days Judge Weaver convinced the plaintiff attorney William White to issue a second summons, but White wrote “c/o Laura Lynn (Hammett)” instead of “Laura Lynn Hammett as trustee of the Rural Revival Living Trust”. Summonses are supposed to withstand strict scrutiny of the law. That summons cannot.
All I can say is that if you don’t want to lose your property through a court action, don’t buy property anywhere Susan Weaver is the judge. She said she likes to play with other people’s money, according to an article in the Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Apparently, many of the little people in the government of Marshall, Arkansas and the other small towns under Queen Weaver’s reign have gotten in on the game.
What fun.
Why Did Judge Billy Roy Wilson Dismiss a case Concerning the Alleged Fictionalization of a Transcript Based on Rooker-Feldman?
The short answer: Judge Billy Roy Wilson is corrupt.
The more perplexing question is “Why did the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals affirm the dismissal?”
I filed a civil rights action against Judge Susan Kaye Weaver, Court Reporter Jana Perry and Attorney William Zac White. I alleged that the three conspired to make an inaccurate transcript of a hearing in case number 65CV-21-20 in Searcy County Arkansas.
Judge Wilson granted a motion to dismiss filed by Attorney General Leslie Rutledge’s Office on behalf of Judge Weaver and the court reporter before Mr. White even filed a joinder or his own motion. Judge Billy Bob threw in a dismissal for Zac White with no prompting…that the public was made aware of.
One basis Judge Wilson cited for the dismissal was the “Rooker-Feldman” doctrine.
But,
“If a federal plaintiff asserts as a legal wrong an allegedly erroneous decision by a state court, and seeks relief from a state court judgment based on that decision, Rooker–Feldman bars … jurisdiction…. If, on the other hand, a … plaintiff asserts … an allegedly illegal act or omission by an adverse party, Rooker–Feldman does not bar jurisdiction.”
Hageman v. Barton, 817 F.3d 611, 614–15 (8th Cir. 2016)
My complaint specified that I was not asking for review of a state court decision. Though, the bizarre decisions made by Judge S.K. Weaver should certainly be overturned.
It seems to me that collusion between an attorney, a judge and a court reporter to fictionalize the record should be considered an illegal act.
Welcome to Grisham Land.
My suggestion is that if you have any assets, you don’t bring them to Arkansas. A redneck judge at the Federal or State level might decide one of his buddies should be granted your assets and it sucks to be you.
Will Judge Susan Weaver Overlook Her Pet’s Complete Lack of Argument in His Reply to Motion for Default Judgment?
Arkansas Attorney William “Zac” White filed a motion for default judgment that would transfer title of 40 acres and a house from a trust to his client. For some reason, which I can only speculate about, Zac refused to issue a summons to the “trustee” of the trust.
Judge Susan Kaye Weaver has favored Willy White throughout the proceedings. Attorneys who will remain nameless, as they need to work in courts presided over by the very blond judge, complain that Judge Weaver chooses “favorites”. But it appears to this writer that she does not just favor one party over another. She makes an affirmative effort to throw “the game”.
For example, in the case of Pietrczak v. Rural Revival Living Trust, et al, Judge Weaver dismissed the pro se plaintiff’s counterclaim sua sponte, with no notice, without specifying the inadequacies in the pleading.
A response was filed to the motion for default judgment.
Mr. White had 5 days plus weekends to reply. He waited an extra week, then filed the “response” below.
Besides calling his reply a “response”, he said the Defendant filed the motion for default judgment. Read the title.
If you are not familiar with motion practice, read my objection to the insufficient “response” posted below. I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice. It is an actual court document intended to explain to Judge Weaver why, as much as she hates me, she is not allowed by law to transfer title to the property based on the motion for default judgment.
Baby’s Mother Complains that Judge Susan Weaver Failed to Place Her Son with Family
Dependency Court is the closest thing to a Star Chamber that you can find in the United States.
It is difficult to verify complaints against judicial officers because the dockets on the cases are sealed.
One mother spoke to me about her son being taken from her, her parental rights terminated and instead of placing the child with a relative that lived near the mother, unrelated foster parents get to adopt the child.
The father is a meth user, according to records on Court Connect.
The mother said she tested negative for drugs, but there might have been some inconclusive evidence of a problem.
Because of my own experience with Susan Kaye Weaver, I believe the mother. Here is her story in her own words:
I am so relieved to have found someone I can reach out to.
My son was taken from me by Arkansas DCFS over 1 year ago. He is now 2.
Weaver was my judge.
Lies and completely unbelievable unethical strategies were used against me, some of which were so outrageous I would have thought I was being punked. Like her demand for a maternity test because she didn’t believe I was my son’s mother or questioning the birth certificate DCFS obtained from NM State to be authentic. Mind you DCFS obtained a copy directly from the state themselves. I have 5 other children all of whom are in my care til this day. CYFD from my state was sent to my home to approve it for my son which obviously was safe enough to leave all my other children under my care without even a follow up but still she denied my baby to be returned to me.
My sister went as far as certifying to legitimately foster him with a license out of our state. She put everything into trying to get him back with family. Judge Weaver denied her twice and ran out the clock on her ICPC. Judge Weaver denied my sister under the reason that my sister did not contact the jail where the baby’s father was held to find out what his charges were.
My sister said, and I quote, “I’m here today and concerned with the well being of my nephew, not his father.”
Knowing she looked yet again like a total idiot as many times before in this case, she denied my son his loving true family once again. and terminated my rights in November. I filed an appeal which I honestly have no idea if it even was really filed or anything that’s going on with it because my PD that was assigned to me for this case filed and said an attorney would contact me. It is now February and I cannot get a direct answer from anyone.
I have been completely alone, violated, intimidated. harassed and terrified for my child.
I have reached out to everyone that I possibly could without any recognition. My son developed a UTI the first month he was in foster care and had a rash that lasted over a month. A caseworker took him to ER in the middle of the night while he was supposedly placed with a family who wants to adopt. He has had cuts across his throat and multiple infections, one that covered his face. But no one has said a thing about it.
He’s 2. He’s a baby, my baby and he’s 1000 miles away and there is nothing I can do to help him. This is the worst evil in this world. But I will never give up hope that the Lord will bring him home.
Please, this woman is no good. Children are obviously an object; not a heart and soul. We cannot let this continue. No one should have to live this nightmare under the hands of this corrupt operation!!!! Speak for those who cannot speak for themselves. Protect the poor and the needy. Bring fourth justice for all!!
Amen
