Two attorneys nominated to the bench in Morris County

   Gov. Chris Christie has nominated attorneys from Mountain Lakes and Montville to fill two of four Superior Court judicial vacancies that will exist as of early January in the Morris-Sussex county court vicinage.

   Christie this past week nominated Frank J. DeAngelis, 45, of the Towaco section of Montville, and Noah Franzblau, 48, of Mountain Lakes, to initial seven-year terms as Superior Court judges. Their names have been forwarded to the state Senate Judiciary Committee, which must sign off on the nominations before they go to the full Senate for a vote.

   "I'm extremely honored by the nomination," said Franzblau. Both nominees said they wanted to hold off on commenting until the process was complete, which could be before the end of the year. Superior Court judges currently are paid $165,000 annually. If judges are renominated by the governor after seven years, and approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee and state Senate, they have job tenure until the mandatory retirement age of 70.

   The need for more Superior Court judges to handle criminal trials will be felt in 2017, when voter-approved criminal justice reform - formerly called bail reform - starts. Under the new mandate - for which Morris and Sussex court officials have been practicing and fine-tuning for months as pilot counties - defendants charged as of Jan. 1, 2017 with crimes will be held in custody only if they present a danger to the community or pose a high risk of flight. The reform eliminates the former system of requiring defendants to post bail as a condition of release.

   For defendants who are held pretrial, without bail, in the county jail, time lines kick in. Those defendants must be indicted within 90 days of arrest and then tried within 180 days of indictment, with some exceptions.      

   There currently are 15 full-time Superior Court judges sitting in the courthouse in Morris County, as well as five Superior Court judges who retired at 70 but were recalled to part-time duty by the state Supreme Court. There are five full-time judges and one recalled judge in Sussex County, which is a combined court vicinage with Morris County. 

   With the anticipated retirement in early January of Judge James A. Farber, who sits in Sussex, the vicinage will have four vacancies, created by the retirement of former vicinage Assignment Judge Thomas L. Weisenbeck in 2015; the unexpected death in February 2016 of Judge Edward Gannon; and the recent retirement of Judge Stephan C. Hansbury. 

   DeAngelis is a partner at Mound Cotton Wollan & Greengrass LLP, a law firm founded in 1933 with offices now in Florham Park, New York City, California and Florida. DeAngelis' profile on the firm's website says he has nearly 20 years of experience in domestic and international litigation.

   The experience includes, according to the website, "first- and third-party coverage and claims defense, multi-layered policy defense of complex property losses, reinsurance, fire/arson losses, and property and casualty defense, all-risk and builder’s risk policy defense, weather-related catastrophic losses, environmental contamination, business interruption, time element, products liability defense, coal mining losses, defense of travel agents and tour operators under errors and omissions coverage, general commercial litigation, and real estate transactions."

   DeAngelis is a graduate of Elizabethtown College and Seton Hall University School of Law, and a member of the Seton Hall University School of Law Alumni Association. He has been an Adjunct Professor of Law at Seton Hall University School of Law since 2001, and was selected as the Adjunct Professor of the Year in 2009, the website says.

   He also was appointed to the Board of Trustees of Partners for Women and Justice, a non-profit organization providing assistance to victims of domestic violence.

   Franzblau, who has coached youth soccer and is a golf enthusiast, is of counsel to the Livingston-based law firm Franzblau Dratch, of which his father, S.M. Chris Franzblau is a name partner. Noah Franzblau's practice specialties include taxation, intellectual property law, employment, corporate and commercial law.

   Franzblau earned his law degree from the University of Denver, and before joining the firm, he served as general counsel and secretary to both public and private corporations in industries ranging from engineering, construction, electrical, telecommunications and financial services to clinical research and behavioral health, according to the firm's website.

   Franzblau served as a judicial law clerk to now-retired state Supreme Court Justice Alan B. Handler and was a corporate real estate attorney with the Morristown-based law firm Riker, Danzig, Scherer, Hyland & Perretti LLP.

These 63 judges retired, but we're still paying them to serve. Here's why

If you're a judge in New Jersey, the state constitution says you have to hang up your robes at age 70 . You could bow out even sooner voluntarily, if you've hit retirement eligibility.

But under a judiciary policy, you could nonetheless find yourself back on the bench for another decade as one of  dozens of retired judges called back to service to ease the heavy caseload of your younger peers.

Advocates of the  Judiciary's recall policy — last updated in 2001 — point to the value of retired jurists' years of experience, as well as the need for more bodies on the bench to keep the state's busy court system running smoothly.

Critics have argue the New Jersey Constitution doesn't provide for an exception to the mandatory retirement age, as well as possible conflicts of interests in bringing retired judges back to the bench.

Under the current version of the policy, recall judges earn $300 per day, as long as the sum of their wages and pension benefits don’t exceed the salaries of sitting judges in their former courts. And they can’t work past their 80th birthdays — period.

These retired judges are recalled for temporary assignments ranging from pre-trial detention hearings to drug court. They’ve also proven crucial during upswings in particular types of cases, such as foreclosures during the last financial crisis.

Here are each of the 63 retired state judges currently serving on recall, organized by county, according to statistics kept by the Administrative Office of the Courts:

COURT CLERK INSIDER REVEALS CORRUPTION IN NJ CIVIL COURTS

READ FULL ARTICLE FROM  NJ.COM  HERE:

Clerk says fix was in on judge’s cases; judge calls allegations ‘baseless’ | NJ.com .

ALSO READ FEDERAL COMPLAINT REGARDING COURT CORRUPTION IN MORRIS COUNTY HERE:

Dearie-v-Gannon FEDERAL COMPLAINT- A 42 PAGE COMPLAINT THAT IS TERRIBLY DISTRESSING AND CONCERNING TO READ IN FULL… ITS A PAGE TURNER!!!

We have often wondered why New Jersey Court insiders so rarely blow the whistle, on the corruption within the courts.

The experience of Morris County Clerk John Dearie appears to answer that question.

It appears that court officers and judges will immediately abuse their offices and retaliate against lawful persons with just consciences and immediately victimize the party attempting to uphold the rule of law within the court house.

IN THE LINKED ARTICLE:   (ABOVE) we learn that there was a clerk in Morris County who witnessed a Judge (Gannon) who repeatedly violated the rights of litigants by ruling on motions without reviewing the papers, signed orders prior to oral arguments (ruling on the matter before it was heard) and as if that wasn’t enough the Judge apparently (based on Mr. Dearie’s recent federal court complaint) admitted to profiteering from his post and enriching his own political allies. Further it appears – based on the complaint filed in Federal Court (as if this isn’t bad enough) Judge Gannon sexually harrassed law clerks and made inappropriate / sexually motivated advances toward parties litigating in his court.

The law clerk’s complaint details in excruciating detail how the ACJC and the supervising Judges failed to address manifest and massive injustice in Morris County’s civil courts.

While we would like to speak and report on this story after getting additional information from the whistle blowing law clerk that currently appears to be impossible…..

Shortly after filing his complaint the law clerk was sent to a mental hospital against his will, presumably as a result of a court order designed to smear the law clerks name and impede his ability to continue with his lawsuit..

SEE THE OUTRAGEOUS JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGED BY THE LAW CLERK HERE:

THIS IS A COMMON TACTIC IN FAMILY COURT AND CIVIL COURT S… the courts will smear the mental competence of an innocent litigant or party in order to discredit their justifiable outrage.

SUPPORTING EVIDENCE AND LINKS:

In fact as readers of this news website know this exact circumstance occurred in Mr. Derek Syphrett’s legal affairs, where he was declared incompetent / assigned counsel against his will without a hearing or evidence being admitted into the court case of FM-11-97-000011K… Judge Fitzpatrick actually declared Mr. Syphrett legally incompetent after Mr. Syphrett won his prior motion which was written pro se by Mr. Syphrett, then acting as Attorney in Fact for the matter… a few months later the court appointed counsel filed emergent motions to be released only after Mr. Syphrett advised them that he intended to sue their law firms for taking the case unlawfully as part of a civil conspiracy against Mr. Syphrett’s constitutionally protected rights to control the legal strategy of his case and his right to a hearing before being assigned counsel.

DEARIE INDICATED THAT THE ACJC AND ASSIGNMENT JUDGE IN MORRIS COUNTY WORKED TO COVER UP  THE JUDICIAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS RATHER THAN ADDRESSING WHAT ARE SERIOUS CONCERNS OF CORRUPTION WITHIN THE NEW JERSEY COURTS… PAR FOR THE COURSE AS READERS OF THIS SITE ARE NO DOUBT FULLY  AWARE.tle

READ MORE ABOUT THIS STORY HERE:

http://abovethelaw.com/2015/02/law-clerk-files-totally-unhinged-lawsuit-against-his-own-judge/

NJCOURTCORRUPTION HAS REACHED OUT TO JOHN DEARIE AND REQUESTED A RESPONSE FROM JUDGE GANNON AS WELL (AFTERHOURS)… WE WILL UPDATE THIS ARTICLE IF ANY RESPONSES ARE RECEIVED FROM THE PARTIES OR THEIR COUNSEL.

My name is Ronald Netter, and my son Ilijah Brundidge, since being taken by DCPP, in December of 2016, was raped in the last week of March, 2017. The corruption come in to play, when no attorney in the state of New Jersey, will handle my case truthfully, because the court system doesn’t want me to sue the state, because of the state’s negligence on their part. they are stonewalling me, so that my statue of limitations will run out.

Does Quraishi order affect Republicans? Morris GOP wants to know

Republican lawyer says Andy Kim had no standing to challenge other party’s primary

By David Wildstein , March 29 2024 5:53 pm

A federal judge’s preliminary injunction is already causing some confusion, with Morris County Republicans asking whether today’s court order pertains to both parties.

“The matter currently before the court was limited to an injunction related to the June 4, 2024, Democratic Primary brought by three Democratic candidates for federal office,” said Peter King, the Morris GOP vice chair and the attorney for the county GOP organization.

In a letter to U.S. District Court Judge Zahid Quraishi, King argues that the verified complaint filed by Rep. Andy Kim (D-Moorestown) and two others “are not impacted in any way by the conduct of the Republican primary.”

“The court’s opinion discusses the infringement on Plaintiffs’ rights as to relates to the Democratic primary and as it relates to their status as federal candidates through the Elections Clause discussion,” King states.  “None of those rights are infringed based upon the conduct of the 2024 Republican Primary, or to the extent the analysis differs for nonfederal candidates.”

King wants the judge to “confirm that the current injunction is limited to the 2024 Democratic Primary, as defined in the verified complaint and the court’s opinion.”

“There is no case or controversy before the court in this matter brought by three federal Democratic candidates for office, as to the conduct of the 2024 Republican Primary, or as to non-federal candidates,” he wrote. “ If the Court’s Order does extend to the 2024 Republican Primary, we ask that the Order be stayed as to the Republican Primary and to permit the MCRC to intervene before the Court specifically as to the applicability of the Order to the Republican Primary, an election to which the Plaintiffs have no interest and to which no relief can be provided based on this current matter.”

Judge to consider if Trump can throw out Georgia election subversion case on First Amendment grounds

F or the first time since a judge ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can continue to oversee the Georgia 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump, the focus will return to the details of the sprawling case.

During a hearing Thursday, Trump’s lead attorney in Georgia is expected to argue that the indictment should be dismissed because the former president’s political speech is protected by the First Amendment.

In a motion filed in late 2023, before the unsuccessful efforts by defendants to disqualify Willis from the case emerged, Trump attorney Steve Sadow argued that the peddling of conspiracy theories and claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election were at their core political speech, and therefore Trump never should have been indicted.

“The core political speech and expressive conduct alleged in this indictment against President Trump are protected from government regulation and thus criminal prosecution by the State,” Sadow wrote.

“Criminalizing President Trump’s speech and advocacy disputing the outcome of the election—while speech endorsing the election’s outcome is viewed as unimpeachable—is thus blatant viewpoint discrimination,” he added.

Willis recently told CNN she was ready to get the case back on track, after more than two months of disqualification hearings ensued over the romantic relationship she had with her lead prosecutor Nathan Wade. Judge Scott McAfee ruled Willis should not be disqualified from spearheading the case if Wade stepped aside, which he has.

A trial date has not been set, but the district attorney still hopes to go to trial before the November election. Willis previously asked for the trial to start in August, and said she may re-up that request.

“I’m also realistic that one of the defendants has multiple cases going on and some of them have trial dates that are ahead of ours. So, I’m always going to be respectful of sister jurisdictions,” she said.

Trump is not expected to be in attendance for the hearing.

First Amendment challenges have failed

Previous First Amendment challenges by former Trump co-defendants Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell were unsuccessful.

Chesebro and Powell were two of the former president’s lawyers who later pleaded guilty in exchange for their testimony and cooperation. They had attempted to have the indictment dismissed under the US Constitution’s supremacy clause but failed.

In his denial at the time, McAfee ruled that various case law pointed to facts and evidence needing to be established in a courtroom before a First Amendment challenge can even be considered.

Former GOP chairman in court

Additionally, McAfee will hear arguments from one of Trump’s co-defendants in the case, David Shafer, the former chairman of the Georgia Republican Party.

In the indictment, prosecutors allege Shafer acted as the point man for the fake electors scheme, coordinating with co-conspirators and reserving the room to illegitimately certify Trump as Georgia’s 2020 election winner.

In their filing, Shafer’s attorneys argued that in nearly all of the conduct for which Shafer is charged, he was only “attempting to comply with the advice of legal counsel,” and was not part of a broader conspiracy.

“Neither the emails or text messages, nor Mr. Shafer’s reservation of a room at the State Capitol, constitute ‘racketeering activity ’  for the purposes of RICO,” Shafer’s attorneys wrote.
