AG Harris: Carrying the ball against an unelected judge is your responsibility
To use a euphemism cited by one of our posters courtflea, chickenshit is contagious. Thus far the mostly 18,000+ rank and file employees left in California’s judicial branch and many judges have been nonplussed thus far by the lackluster and carefree attitude that the AG’s office has had when it comes to Judicial Council and AOC indiscretions. Time and […]
“Judge” Jack Halpin vs. Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye
January 1, 2013
It took us some time but we finally were able to get our hands on the chief justices order of December 18th 2012 to Judge Jack Halpin. We’re having a little more difficulty coming by the letter that the AOC wrote to the Attorney Generals’ office indicating that the quo warranto is a moot point. […]
Welcome to 2013 – The Year of Reckoning
January 1, 2013
Reckoning (noun): A settlement of accounts For over three years now we and many others have stood by and made a record of judicial branch accounts. Today our record spans over 500 articles on this site alone and another 140 produced by or produced in conjunction with media partners from across the state. All of […]
2012 – Riding High – A Year of Success
December 27, 2012
. Truth be told, we never left the saddle. As we entered into 2012 the first indication that CCMS was dead was on December 20th, 2011 when we announced with the assistance of Tonto (You remember him, the really nice house on the hill in Danville with the really nice yard that had been under […]
’twas the night before Christmas…
December 24, 2012
Apologies about the late submission but this was so brilliant it needed to be posted immediately. Delilah gives you… the night before Christmas…. feel free to add a verse! ****** Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the State, good people were acting to change the Courts’ fate. The misdeeds and boondoggles shown everywhere, […]
Exclusive: The reason why our judges have gone silent
December 14, 2012
As you probably observed in another thread, the AOC is under federal investigation over their mismanagement of the court interpreters program. Along with everything else they mismanage, the AOC has been managing the funds given to it by the state legislature for court interpreters. The way it works in practical terms is that a local […]
AOC Employees – Be sure to say Hello to the DOJ investigators…
December 11, 2012
In case you haven’t heard, the United States Department of Justice investigators are interviewing certain AOC employees both yesterday and today, possibly in connection with the AOC re-purposing funds for court interpreters. A suggestion to DOJ investigators: Don’t stop there. Trace every federal dollar in every program. Trace every dollar to the vendors. Make sure […]
The leadership crisis has now been exacerbated
September 5, 2012
He has a ton of dirt on the Judicial Branch players and intimate knowledge of wrongdoing. His credibility is so shot in front of legislators who have been repeatedly lied to by him that many will no longer give him an audience. What do you do with a lobbyist such as this that represents your […]
The CCMS / SEC / OCCM Hangover
September 4, 2012
Good morning California! Welcome back to the grindstone after a long labor day weekend. This morning most of us woke up with a quasi-hangover. Some of us stumbled into work and most everyone else is working from home or called in exhausted. While over the past five weeks remodeling was being done around us, all […]
Editorial: Courts need to re-think workarounds for the civil bar
August 29, 2012
One of the most striking examples of how to attract the attention of 190,000 attorneys in this leadership crisis was how the Ministry of Truth artfully employed bar associations and the state bar to make this fight all about the Judicial Council and the AOC getting more budget. Of course, we have to believe that […]
Leaked report “summary” details familiar problems
August 23, 2012
Wasn’t it the Ferenghi that said there is profit in chaos? August 22, 2012 Dear Members and Others, On August 16th, Alliance director Judge David Lampe requested Executive and Planning Committee chairman Justice Douglas Miller to make public the audit report of the AOC Office of Court Construction and Management prepared by Pegasus Global […]
ACJ Letter to the Judicial Council, SEC &E&P committees
August 17, 2012
You’ll note an ongoing theme of AOC management. When someone releases a report that is highly critical of their operations, they close ranks, take down the dirty laundry curtains, go wash the dirty laundry curtains and put them back in the window and declare they built a new and much improved house with the […]
As they’re bankrupting the courts, they’re handing out raises!
August 10, 2012
August 10, 2012 Dear Members and Others, Just when you thought you had heard everything, Alliance director Judge Kevin McCormick flips over a rock and, lo and behold, more evidence of insular, out-of-touch decision making by the Administrative Office of the Courts is found. We attach today’s Daily Journal article by reporter Paul Jones. In […]
AOC’s annual whistleblower policy notification – corrected.
August 1, 2012
If you are an AOC or Trial Court employee believe in this policy at your own peril. Please note that this recently amended policy has the same end result as the old policy. Come forward and you will be fired for an unrelated reason. Cooperate with any investigation and you will be fired for an […]
SEC – an endless summer of comments
July 27, 2012
AOC under-reporting of special funds account balances Before we get to the meat and potatoes of this mornings post: Remember the recent scandal where State Parks were pleading poor and unable to keep state parks open? The parks director resigned and her deputy was fired when the department of finance found that state parks had […]
More reasons to fund the trial courts directly and not the AOC
May 14, 2012
Mr. Dydzak has filed his amended complaint in Orange County Court. Link: Dydzak v. Dunn OCSC Amended Complaint 5.2.12 This amended, verified complaint names those people who Mr. Dydzak believes to be responsible for and engaged in racketeering under 18USC1962 as well as a raft of other allegations.
