Governor Crist Appoints Dorian Damoorgian to 4th District Court of Appeal
TALLAHASSEE – Governor Charlie Crist today announced the appointment of Dorian Damoorgian of Fort Lauderdale to the 4th District Court of Appeal.
“With almost 30 years’ experience in law, Dorian provides a diverse background and broad understanding of Florida’s legal system,” said Governor Crist. “I am confident his deep respect for the laws of our state will allow him to continue serving Floridians in this new capacity.”
Damoorgian, 52, graduated from American University and Cumberland School of Law. He served as an attorney in several private firms from 1980 to 1999, when he was appointed to the 17th Judicial Circuit Court. As a sitting judge, Damoorgian serves on several community boards, including the Broward County Juvenile Detention Advisory Board, the Courthouse Planning Committee and the Local Rules Committee for the 17th Judicial Circuit, among others.
Damoorgian will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Judge Bobby W. Gunther, whose resignation date is effective December 31, 2007.

A little late on this one. Saw this reported on coffee talk an hour before you posted this.
To my beloved First Lady DD --
I will miss you.
Who will I turn to when serious issues arise in the circuit?
Who can I ask those hard questions, like when does "i" come before "e"?
Who can help me keep order in the judge's meetings so that I don't get yelled at by irate jurists?
Ummmm...these aren't rhetorical questions DD, I really need some answers....and quick.....
Love,
Your lesser half - VT
Ha Ha!
Sorry Sprink
Maroone! Maroone! Maroone!
Left a good job in the city,
Workin for the man evry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin,
Worryin bout the way things might have been.
How many appeals come out of Krathen's division?
Bidwell's the money for Fed Ct Judge
Gee, I wonder who will put in for Dorian's empty seat.

Broward Circuit Judge Dorian Damoorgian is moving to the 4th District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach.
Gov. Charlie Crist announced Damoorgian's new appointment Tuesday. The 52-year-old jurist replaces retiring Judge Bobby W. Gunther, a former Broward county and circuit judge who has served on the appellate bench since 1986. Gunther's resignation is effective Dec. 31.
Damoorgian currently serves as circuit civil administrative judge in Broward. His appeals' court appointment will create an opening for a circuit judge in Broward.
Damoorgian was in private practice before Gov. Jeb Bush appointed him to the Broward bench in 1999. He is a graduate of American University in Washington, D.C., and Cumberland School of Law at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala.
Funny how everyone said Destry was a lock. Funny how everyone said Dorian was a lock. Ain't it funny?
WE NEED MORE BLACK JUDGES
Didn't Parkland used to be part of PB County? I mean, maybe now it would be possible to commute to WPB from Parkland, staying only on back roads? Like you really don't even have anything to do with Broward? Wouldn't that be cool?
Coo Coo Coo he's soooo smart. And good looking too.
MERITOCRACY?
Which way is up sucka?
Could have easily sold insurance for a living.
Now he has to be overruled by a judge in the North Wing and then later by Dorian.
Now Dorian won't have to share full time magistrate duties with Gardiner and Tobin.
Search "Maroone" under 2006 General Election and "Crist" and it shows $26,000 in contributions from people or entities with "Maroone" in it. I bet they RAISED some REAL dough not in the name Maroone too, for sure.

FLORIDA CAMPAIGN FINANCE DATABASE
This sorry sack never saw a plaintiff attorney he wouldnt screw..Get ready for the right wing move in the 4th DCA..It will now join the 3 PCA as a enemy of middle class working folks.The Maronne family will have a big party for him at the Lauderdale yacht club..Jews and Blacks are not invited.
But I thought Dorian was part of the new crop of Judges not corrupted by politics and the old boy network? Bill you didnt mislead us did you?
Next new Judge will be Jay Hurley... PIKES RULE
Another excellent judge makes it to the Fourth. Broward County loses a fair and intelligent judge but gains a thoughtful and impartial appellate judge.
Goodbye VicD and welcome Vic Gardiner
Everybody talked about how Weinstein was a lock, Jenne for sheriff, Destry, Damoorgian, etc, etc. Kinda encourages us small people who dont have the political connections to throw our names into this fair and even process?
Keep dreamin hahahahahaha
9:28, you are 100% correct
Now that it is clear that Ana is the replacement for First Lady DD, the question has arisen, where will she and CJ Vic have their private meetings to formulate the new policies they will impose upon the rest of the judiciary.
I mean, there is no room in the courthouse whatsoever for anything.
Maybe Ana can find a spare closet somewhere for her and Vic to use.
Isn't it a bit weird to blog and respond to your own post.
Small Fry posts at 9:28 with a comment and Small Fry posts at 9:47 saying he "agrees 100%" with the post at 9:28.
I am glad you agree with yourself. Although talking to yourself in this fashion would indicate a possible need to speak with a therapist.
say it isn't so....
Dale Ross to assume Civil Admin Judge role upon Damoorgian's annoitment?
not in this administration...rosenberg will replace dorian
ENVY! ENVY! ENVY! We are losing one of the best Judges in Broward County.
He really didn't have much competition, did he?!?
Suck taht di_k, Ana, suck that di_k.
Didn't get you anywhere sucking Shahood's--or whateve else you were doing--you're still stu_k in Broward--but go Ana go!
Yours is the real Broward road to upward mobility.
Yeah, run Bobby Gunther, Run--get out while the getin' is good--Why doesn't somebody ask why the JQC refused to investigate complaint # 07559 which include Bobby Boy Gunther in using his position to make unlawful (unstatutory) in complicity with the other panelmemebrs--Stone and Gary "the" Farmer and Polen (and Ana I "the Farmer's" Gardiner, for rulings and commit and continue to commit felonies.. Why did the JQC determine that committing felonies under color of law by ruling directly contrary to statutes and well-settled Fl. S. Ct. case law doe not violate the canons of Ethics; Whu=y didn't the JCQ fins that Gardiners statement on the recored taht she will only do what ASA SCorr Raft tells her to do does not violate the Canons of Ethics on being impartial and following the law and being "true to the law and informed about the law"
Ask the JQC. Ask Brooke Kennerly. Or better yet: Ask lawyer-Governor Charlie Crist and Lawyer-Speaker of the Housle Mark Rubio and lawyer-Chairman of the House Committee on the Courts Dennis Ross--yeah get to askin--let's seehoe high the crimes go.
Not much competition if you are referring to the QUALITY of applicants. You are right. No competition at all, at least not from Broward.
