NOW WHAT....
If a JQC complaint is filed against LaBarga, how will proceedings be handled involving a Supreme Court Justice?
ARTICLE V SECTION 12. Discipline; removal and retirement.--
(e) Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this section, if the person who is the subject of proceedings by the judicial qualifications commission is a justice of the supreme court of Florida all justices of such court automatically shall be disqualified to sit as justices of such court with respect to all proceedings therein concerning such person and the supreme court for such purposes shall be composed of a panel consisting of the seven chief judges of the judicial circuits of the state of Florida most senior in tenure of judicial office as circuit judge. For purposes of determining seniority of such circuit judges in the event there be judges of equal tenure in judicial office as circuit judge the judge or judges from the lower numbered circuit or circuits shall be deemed senior. In the event any such chief circuit judge is under investigation by the judicial qualifications commission or is otherwise disqualified or unable to serve on the panel, the next most senior chief circuit judge or judges shall serve in place of such disqualified or disabled chief circuit judge.

Gary - Don't waste your time. Nothing is going to happen to Labarga. Look at Gardiner. It looks like Ana dearest will be skating on her JQC complaint.
Well put Anonymous - except why be anonymous over nothing?
And why this when there's *plenty* of real stuff to write about?
I give this entry a minus ten.
Now what...
1.) Kollin will never file a JQC complaint and neither will anyone else.
2.) Even if someone did, the rule you cited would kick in meaning either the JQC or the JQC comprised of the Chief Judges would dump the stupid complaint faster than Moreno dumped Spechler's nonsense lawsuit.
What a stupid post.
seems like a lot of judges read and write on this blog
In the proud tradition of DAVID McCAIN , Feeding Frenzy FRED LEWIS and ROBERT LANCE ANDREWS .
A-Turd up late again spilling his little mind over the internet with totally predictable and equally as stupid drivel.
Jack Thompson can sit as a temporary justice for the purpose of handling any JQC Complaint filed against Labarga. Should be interesting.........
I heard it already WAS filed
"looks like Ana dearest will be skating on her JQC complaint"
How will Ana skate on the JQC complaint when the appeal is gathering steam? How will they explain a new trial being granted because of the impropriety while the JQC finds no probable cause on the same facts and circumstances?
sign me on to this entry
2;00pm she got away with lots before but not this time. a few years she got away with the same thing with the Sawgrass murder case, she did the same thing but luckily for the innocent guy Bennett, the case was transferred to a different judge. and the innocent victim was released after trial. She has been doing this for years and being smug about it. Her time is here.No one is above the law,CHANGE CHANGE CHANGE is here.
I think a JQC complaint is called for. These types of actions by a sitting judge, either on or off the record, are more telling and more indicative of judges that need to be disciplined, especially under these circumstances where a threat of sorts is made by a sitting judge to or about counsel appearing before them on a case.
These statements are totally uncalled for and demonstrate why such an avenue exists wherein counsel can and should make a complaint against the presiding judge, if nothing else than to show this type of behavior is not to be tolerated. If judges can not control their own egos and behavior, then they should not be judges. If I were Mr. Kollin, I most certainly would file a complaint with the JQC and attach the transcript. There is no more compelling evidence of wrongdoing than in this instance where this type of arrogance exists. It should be discouraged at every turn to improve the conscience of the Court in future proceedings. I have no doubt from what I read that the JQC would have a hard time skating around the type of statements that are reflected in the record. Judge Labarga should be held accountable at this juncture to preclude future actions of this type and to serve as an example to other judges who would follow the same inclination.
I am going to contact kollin next week to see if he did one and agree to sign on. I believe we all have standing to do so.
It is my opinion that there is strength in numbers and that the JQC would find it more difficult to ignore. I hope there are others like me who will also join in.
I did not put my name here because I do not want to start receiving the wrath of some who would try to take me apart like they did to Kollin. And then there are those who are not lawyers who tend to contact a writer when they want an ear.
Maybe we can have that worthless BACDL do something with balls and join in.
Yeah, right. BACDL should stand for something besides a mutual adoration society with no merit and no leadership. The last meeting was an embarrassment. It's always been an embarrassment because its never stood for anything besides "I want to be the next President" so I can act like I'm somebody. Really sad. Williams is too busy taking the side of the judges and others against our own members. That thing with Ostrow's client, whatever his problems are, is disgusting for Williams' part. And the strange part is Williams struts around like a jackass about it.
No one filed one. Gary K would do a quick burn in the paper but I don't think he'll JQC Labarga.
What would that accomplish? He can't get his name in the paper with a JQC complaint and the JQC won't do squat.
Ana does not spread her legs and her lips only in Broward, you know. so she never has to worry about the JQC--just like conway--he was prosecuted by the bar for stating the truth that the JQC was prosecuting Aleman about. Why should Ana not be entitled to the same equal protection of the contradictory situation of reason to reverse on impripriety that has no basis in the Canons of Judicial ethics--Brooke Kennerl;y will just explain it as "an appellate issue"--not a conduct issue and therefore not within the wording of any of the Canons of conduct because the JQC arbitrarily, falsely and abusively declares conduct that is improper enough for an appellate court to reverse does not constitute conduct under the definition of the Canons as being either "acts or words."
That's Brooke's position. Are YOU in good hands?
How is that JQC complaint coming? Will it be done when pigs fly?
if anonymous in the courthouse is right a new low for florida
