WEB SITE ATTACKS JUDGE HERNANDEZ AND JUAN D'ARCE
JUAN D’ARCE ALLEGED TO HAVE FIRED BACK.
D’ARCE THREATENS LAWSUIT AGAINST http://WWW.OPERATIONRESTOREJUSTICE.COM
D’ARCE “THREATS” MISSING SUBJECTS, NOUNS, VERBS AND PUNCTUATION . COLLEGE DEGREE QUESTIONED?
DRAMATIS PERSONAE:
Judge Ivan Hernandez. Vietnam Veteran. County Court Judge. Elected to replace a County Court Judge who got into a bit o’ hot water when he stopped to give a fetching young woman a ride home from work. Pit-Bull Janie Weintraub tore up the prosecution at the Judge’s trial for soliciting a prostitute, but the former Judge didn’t have the same luck at the polls.
(Trivia bonus question : Which DUI hot-shot also ran in that race but finished 3rd? )
Suspended JA Juan D’Arce. Needs no introduction to the careful readers of this blog.
APD Robin Faber. Public Defender in the Juvenile Division. Running against Judge Hernandez on the slogan “when honesty matters.”
operationrestorejustice.com: A Pro-Faber, anti-Henandez, anti-Juan D’Arce web site.
This web site has been posted on the comments section of our fair blog previously. One day, when our alcohol levels were sinking to dangerously low levels, we opened a bottle of Chateau Miami River and perused the blog and clicked on the link.
Lo- n- behold , we found a very entertaining web site, making the allegation that one Juan D’Arce had been visiting and sent them a threatening email.
Click here for the email: http://operationrestorejustice.com/Juan%20threatens%20to%20sue%20ORJ%20June%207%202006.pdf
Here is the text sent from a “Juan”: “When I sue you you won’t think it is so funny to slander So you want down and dirty and not nice. Good.”
Rumpole’s first thought was, for goodness sake, somebody give that guy a few punctuation marks. Loan him a period and a question mark, will ya?
Second thought: For all of D’Arce’s self-promoted legal skills, didn’t we all learn in law school that slander is said and libel is written?
Finally, the big kahunna of a question: Is Mr. Faber behind “Operation Restore Justice?”
Just when was this “operation” formed?
Will the “operation” be conducting any incursions into South Dade or Calle Ocho?
Does the "operation" have any operatives?
What “justice” has Judge Hernandez taken away that needs to be restored?
As we have opined repeatedly, the worst that can be said about Judge Hernandez is that his made a bad decision to hire someone and made a worse (but understandable) decision to stand by his JA? Doesn’t loyalty count for anything?
Who will Juan D’Arce be suing? Will long lost former “gun pointing on the bench” Judge Henry Ferro make the trek down from the wilds of Central Florida to file this barn-burner of a lawsuit?
Does anybody know?
Does anybody care?
(See how those question marks are placed Mr. D’Arce?
Try some punctuation. It’s fun.)
Only in Miami folks. That’s why we live and work here.

Rump,
You ask: Does the "operation" have any operatives?
I reckon by definition an operation must have operatives. It if didn't have operatives, who, pray tell, would carry out the operations?
WHat say you?
Who was the judge that Hernandez replaced? I totally forgot!
I'm an operative....unfortunately I'm a post operative. Anybody want to drag?
I have it on good info that Mr. Faber has nothing to do with this "operation". without revealing my sources, the person behind this movement to unshackle truth is someone who is not a candidate nor are they representing one to my knowledge. Although it would appear that this person has an agenda, don't we all, I do not believe it revolves around Mr. Faber. I am sure more will be forthcoming.
if flora becomes a judge will she find a personality?
Is Juan D'Arce behind Carlos Alvarez?? anyone have a clue??
When I win, I'm going to put that website guy in jail. So help me God.
Attn: Anonymous Poster at 1:40:29 AM.
Arthur and Charlie Safie are the main supporters and advisors on that race. I heard it from Charlie, who is running other races, but not against my campaign.
Did anyone see the heat game? We'll get them next time.
anyone remember the FBI sting of the 90's called operation court broom ? That nailed several circuit court judges and lawyers.
Maybe the FBI is behind operation restore justice.
Sounds like a lunatic to me who is mad cause he lost in court. Nut job.
looks like Juan is back posting messages (see previous message)
so if u are not a jew or cuban you have no chance to become a judge in miami?
Reggie "I recognized her from Church" Richardson
James Best
The trail to D'Arce for Alvarez is strong - Judge Miller is at South Dade Government Center - D'Arce offered his services to her on several occasions - she fits the pattern of his "target" - regardless of who is "doing" his campaign - recruitment is also a D'arce style - and he comes from the same background as all of D'arce's recruitments. His fingerprnts are all over this - and he is actively campaigning in Alvarez's behalf as is the Hernandez "team."
Has anyone had the opportunity to buy perfumes and other assorted fragrances from the JA in Leifman's chambers? JUDGE, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE GOING ON IN YOUR CHAMBERS? IT LOOKS LIKE A TURKISK TRADING POST EVERY TIME YOU TURN YOUR BACK. STOP WORRYING ABOUT THE HOMELESS AND DOWNTRODDEN AND GET THAT FUCKING PEDDLER AWAY FROM YOUR OPERATION. IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE AN ENGLISH SHOPKEEPER. HINT: THE PERFUMES ARE IN HER DESK DRAWER. YOU CAN GAIN AT LEAST ONE VOTE IF YOU STOP THIS FROM GOING ON: MINE
Rumpole, the post about the perfumes is mean-spirited, nasty, has no redeeming social value whatsoever, and should be removed. It's only aim is to make needless trouble for a very hardworking JA who runs her judge's office in a very efficient manner.
I agree with the last post - it is unfair to specifically target this JA without listing what items are for sale by JA's in other chambers.
Good Morning. The answer is Jim Best. Send me my ticket to Hialeah!
See you in Court.
To be fair, Marylin from KMF sold lots of items. Hell, I bought some myself.
Has anyone seen the Pando/KMF Political build board building next to I-95? It sure looks like they made a deal to get it for the both of them, but I thought that was not allowed. Captain?
Does anyone remember that prick of a Bailiff that worked for Judge Farina, Bob Houston? That guy was a tremendous jerk.
is it me or is everyone getting off track from the original blog!!!
Juan D'Arce and his prison number.
whats wrong with an English shop. just because this is the hispanic banana republic doesnt mean you have to be racist against english people. ass.
how do non-engish voters vote? do they get an interpreter, or just look for the candidate whose name ends in a 'Z'
do these non-english speaking people have any idea what the platform that candidates run on? or do they just blindly vote for someone named jose?
i wonder why miami has the highest poverty rate for any US city with a population over a million. must be that 'rich' diversity. certainly isnt readin, 'ritin, and 'rithmetic!
ok someone did not have there coffee yet...
Relax buddie. It's Friday and the Heat lost. If you have a hard-on, go talk to your dog. Frankly, this blog is about cases and other things not stupid gossip. Cut the coffee.
Rude on a Friday. Putz.
Who's that jerk-off? Get off the Cuban Coffee and take the day off. My orders. We work too damn hard to be told what to do. All that stuff is old, get us some 2008 stuff and then our opinions may change.
This is crazy. The REGB is full of Judges, Correction Officers, and other people who are one step away from prison. (Not to visit neither.) Tell us something that we don't know. Talk about Circuit Civil or something.
By the way, I agree. "Get off the COFFEE!"
The County Court Judge beaten by Hernandez was Reggie "hop in" Richardson. The DUI hot shot who was third (and paid 2.25 to show) was Jimbo Best.
Rumpole's considerable sources indicate that Candidate Jorge Alvarez has nothing to do with D'Arce. Although the circumstantial evidence cited above appears strong, Alvarez is on his own in this campaign, standing in Malls, handing out pamphlets.
A better Alvarez rumor is which current burly county court judge snarled at Alvarez at a function when he learned Alvarez was running against Browyn Katherine Miller?
As to the JA selling perfume...newbie...you haven't been reading the blog. Go to the top...find "search this blog" type in JAPS (JA perfume scandal) and read..unless you are just a political hack from the Gonzalez camp running against the Lord Of The Traffic Magistrates...then stop the muck racking. Its way old news.
Sad rumor we are working on: Well respected criminal defense attorney who mostly handles appeals, was arrested yesterday for introduction of marijuana into DCJ. Until his name pops up in the clerk's data base, we will not release his name unless someone can email us and confirm this sad rumor.
read the Herald rumpole (emphasis on the small " r " )
answer to who berated alvarez:
none other than our own "Special Ed" Newman.
anyone recall judge dubitski's baliff, bob stewart with his handlebar mustache?
or the best baliff[bagman] money could buy, morophonios nephew "donny".
I don't give anything to a client in jail other than my business card. All I take in is a pen, a legal pad, and the file, all of which leave with me.
John Lipinksi? Hmmm. Someone please refresh my recollection. What does this upstanding citizen look like? Who, if anyone, does he share a practice with?
Robin Faber is a loser. Why doesn't he focus only on Judge Ivan Hernandez? Who the hell cares about Juan de Arce? Robin Faber obviously realizes that there's no way to attack Ivan himself so he's got to look at his JA. That's ridiculous!Anyone who has to attack someone other than the candidate himself is obviously running scared! There's a moment in every single campaign that makes you win or lose. Robin, by creating that website, you just lost. Loser. My advice to every single candidate: focus only on your opponent. Don't focus on JA's, on spouses, or on staff. Once you do this, you demonstrate to the world that you're so scared of losing that you resort to the drastic and to the despicable. Robin is a loser and any candidate who follows a similar route is a loser too. Robin, you just lost your campaign.
Robin Faber is a second (or third, or fourth, who knows?) choice for those who want Hernandez out. Hector Lombana tried to convince Gloria Gonzalez-Meyer to leave Judge Samuels' race and switch to run against Judge Hernandez. After she turned him down, Robin Faber came into the race.
WHO LET FIDEL CASTRO IN HERE. ASSHOLE BLOW ME. OH MY YOU HAVE NOT HEARD MR. D'ARCE WAS THE JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER IN JUDGE HERNANDEZ'S COURT ROOM. RUMOR HAS IT HE WIPED HIS ASS TOO (WAITING FOR CONFIRMATION ON THAT THOUGH). ANYONE WHO EXPERIENCED THE COMMUNIST REGADE OF JUAN D'ARCE KNOWS JUAN WAS RUNNING THAT COURT ROOM. I GUESS OUR LAST BLOGGER RAN SHORT ON PERCOCET AND DECIDED TO HIS THE BLOGS!!
CAN YOU SAY "JUDGE FABER"!!
A Miami defense attorney ended up on the wrong side of the bars Thursday after he was charged with taking marijuana into a county jail.
Attorney John Lipinski, 58, and inmate Andrew Rahmings, 21, each face two felony charges: introduction of marijuana to a county jail and possession of marijuana.
Miami-Dade police say Lipinski visited Rahmings about noon Thursday at the Miami-Dade Pre-Trial Detention Center downtown. The reason for the visit is unknown.
Investigators say Lipinski is not Rahmings' attorney.
When Rahmings left the interview room, he had three yellow envelopes in his possession.
Jail officials searched the envelopes before returning Rahmings to his cell and found about 40 grams of marijuana in two of the envelopes.
''It is obvious when you grab the envelopes that there is something inside,'' the arrest report reads.
After realizing that Rahmings had left the interview room after meeting with the attorney, guards stopped Lipinski.
Lipinski told Miami-Dade police he had gotten a call from an acquaintance of Rahmings, who wanted a meeting.
They met at an IHOP in Hollywood, where the acquaintance gave Lipinski the envelopes, saying he wanted Rahmings to write him, Lipinski said.
Rahmings told a different story -- he denied knowing the man Lipinski met, according to the report.
Lipinski was booked into the Miami-Dade Pre-Trial Detention Center.
Each of the charges carries a $5,000 bail, said Janelle Hall, spokeswoman for the Miami-Dade Corrections Department.
Rahmings has been at the jail since December 2004, awaiting trial on two armed-robbery cases.
Rumpole, don't waste your time on the guy who posted the perfume comment. It's the exact same comment from a few months ago, pasted in here now.
Someone's obviously just trying to stir up trouble.
Didn't the same thing hapen with another attorney recently? What's with these people??? Don't they know better than to carry in stuff for other people?

OPERATION LAND BARRON ANNOUNCED
Does anybody know anything about a new Federal Sting operation called LANDBARRON that the US attorney announced today? Rumour has it that a high-profile local attorney is very concerned.
To: 6:55:44 AM
Judges KMF and AMP do indeed have nice signs up along I-95. To the question of the legality, the controling state law is below, specifically look at Section 104.071(1)(c). Since they each have separate leases with the landlord, ordered their banners separately, and installed them separately I believe that they are 100% legal. Recently the Florida Elections Commission handed down findings with reference to municipal elections in Surfside. In that case the candidates contributed each a portion of the total cost to produce yard signs that they shared. As I stated with respect to the banners on I-95 they are independant from one another.
ELECTORS AND ELECTIONS ELECTION CODE: VIOLATIONS; PENALTIES
104.071 Remuneration by candidate for services, support, etc.; penalty.--

I was mentioned at 1:46:16 AM. Just because campaigns contract with the same political consultant, in this case Charlie Safdie, does not mean that they are all working together. In addition my name was brought up in the past because I was Judge Pando's bailiff in an attempt to justify Mr. D'Arce's activities. The difference was that I resigned about a year ago in order to run and campaign without the perception of impropriety.
good thing the bloggers staying to the subject "NOT"
Whats happened to the rumors on the soon to be prison imate number #56251254 a/k/a: Juan D'Arce, any news if he is gay? may be helpful for his next residence Prison.
...take note! Robin Faber may have his shortcomings as a judicial candidate, but NOTHING in my personal/professional dealings with him leads me to believe he is/was involved with the restorejustice.com website. Quite honestly, it is beneath him. He has always dealt me and his collegues with class and decorum. That website is trashy and tacky!
thats why we should never take drugs because you cant read and see clear.
how can you say www.operationrestorejustice.com web site is trashy and tacky when all it does is provide links to Miami Herald stories on the canidates and Juan D'Arce criminal stunts and articles on the BUSINESS REVIEW STORIES ON THE SAME.
ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE MIAMI HEARLD AND THE BUSINESS REVIEW ARE TACKY AND TRASHY!!!
Robin Faber should not bite the hand that feeds him!!

I like Robin and he would be a refreshing change on the bench. Before you accuse the guy of running a website you dont like, show a scintilla of proof that he "runs" the website.
Go Robin!
It is clear that Mr. Robin Faber is behind this shameful website which is a morbid attempt to promote himself. After listening to his audio statement given to the Miami Herald, it is clear that this same approach is utilized on the site. He is endorsing himself. Incredible! (By the way, the man cannot spell.)
It is unfortunate that this Public Defender is showing us what type of judge he would be if elected: He would jump to conclusions without giving the Defense an opportunity to present a case. Here, he jumps to conclusions without knowing the facts, and uses dirty tactics. I would be afraid to appear before Mr. Robin Faber. Per his own web site, rumors suffice and are the foundation of his campaign. As a Judge, he would find someone guilty off hearsay. Following this approach, we can only begin to imagine how he would rewrite the hearsay rule.
The Banana Republic of Faber.
I've never seen Robin Faber's wardrobe but if it's anything like this horrible looking website, we don't want him out in public period!
It looks like that smarmy picture of Faber is still hosted by the Miami Herald...either really bad web design or maybe one Ms. Nesmith is behind the whole thing!!!
Whether this is just self promotion or simply an FOR (friend of Robin) it's just bad marketing.
BTW, saw Ivan Hernandez the other day...nice tie and a halfway decent business card. He's got my vote.
jesus christ more rafters coming to the usa and posting support for Ivan Hernandez, can we get some border protrol on this blog.
BTW, last blogger too much free time? or purhaps hernandez got a new computer (since the state has his opps pushing the envelope).
When will he learn no campaigning from the bench.
I have to state the following: For some strange reason there are one or two individuals who just love to pick on Judge Hernandez. If you hate the man so much, spare us and tell him to his face. Enough is enough already. I think we can all agree that all the comments on Hernandez are getting old and petty. (Id. Mr. Faber)
Tell you what tough guy/gal, call Judge Hernandez, make an appointment and kick his butt; or tell him what you think to his face, and let us know what happens. Since the man was in a war, I am sure he will let you know what he thinks of your whining. Maybe you should embrace the cruel reality that you have the right to freedom of expression thanks to men like him. Until then, get a life you dead beat!

How can this person criticize anything? "That's Incredible!"
Welcome to RIPLEY'S...
Believe It or Not!
yea war veteran for whom the germans. the guy is so against providing people a fair hearing (i.e. judge hernandez).
sit in his court room watch the rudeness from the bench. J.Q.C investigation is happening I hear. Maybe Florida Supreme court throws him out .
dear mr. faber,
i am not a fan or a foe of judge hernandez. i have neither met the man nor appeared before him. but your web page puts you up there with the king of all turd. take it down dude.

What is Flora seffs husbands name? What was he arrested for? What was the dispo? Details...details...Enquiring minds want to know.
There are plenty of people who don't like Judge Hernandez. And critically, it's not because of his rulings or in court persona. Rather, Hernandez' albatross is D'Arce. Specifically, why on God's green earth would a respectable judge hire and stand-by a political hack?
Hernandez is supposed to avoid the APPEARANCE of impropriety. Instead, he has embraced, by his silence and refusal to fire D'Arce, the controversial idea that paid judicial consultants may work for Judges so long as they confine their paid attacks on sitting judges to "off-hours." That's ridiculous.
Hernandez, like any commanding officer, is responsible for the actions of his men. He needs to own up to D'Arce's actions, fire him, apologize, and move on.
wow that last post said it all and I agree!!
Many judges are not liked. Who cares?
If there is a rule against the judiciary and campaigns, please post it so that Hernandez can see it. If you just happen to not like the fact that sitting Judges are getting knocked-off, then that is a different story and remains your opinion. D’Arce’s participation in campaigns, is equivalent to:
1. Jackie Scola running on the same year as her husband- Robert Scola (A planned abusive tactic that helped her raise tons of money as attorneys were scared and forced to donate, and get no opposition).
2. The duo of Judge Larry and Caryn Schwartz getting to the bench at the same time.
3. Judge Ivan Fernandez running on Hernandez’s last name the year after Hernandez gets elected.
4. Judge Bertila Soto and her father, Osvaldo Soto, pushing their agenda as well as candidates. If they like you, you get support; if not, you get opposition. (I saw him working on Glazer’s campaign to keep her on the Bench).
5. JNC Member Hector Lombada working on campaigns, donating and consulting while he may have the power to nominate the same people of influence there appointment in the future.
Fact is all politicians do it. We have seen President Bush and Jeb do in the past. It’s politics. Let us remember that the canons cover family and candidates, not staffers on their own time.
Case on point: School Board Member Frank Cobo was ousted by the majority of the other School Board Members who actually endorsed, campaigned and even worked precincts on election day to get Cobo out. The people who should be answering questions here are the ones that paid for the consulting or got it for free. I am sure you do not think that Hernandez was depositing the checks? Inspect the different campaign expenditure reports and you will find that many staffers also get paid (Look at Vera) and some do it for free (Look at Laura) as well. Paid or not, it is the same stupid thing. Additionally, since there is an ongoing investigation, he should remain silent until it is complete. Fact is, some judges lost, but new ones won. If you have a problem with it, it is probably because you have something to lose. Are you a Judge that is mad because now you have to actually work to keep your job?
you idiots that think faber did the site are smoking something
It is him. The man is desperate. If you think it was not him, then he must have allowed Carol to do the site. Akerman has lots of money you know.
What is Flora seffs husbands name? What was he arrested for? What was the dispo? Details...details...Enquiring minds want to know

Editorial in Miami Times - Black Judges Should Know Better
Here we go again. Another Black judge is facing opposition from a Hispanic
who understands the power of a name. Anything goes in Miami elections, so
this common ploy is not surprising.
What is surprising is that Black judges have not learned better. The Black
community should not only hear from Black judges at election time. They
should know their faces and hear about their agendas way before they are faced
with deciding whether to keep them on the bench or not.
Blacks' disproportionate representation in all aspects of the court system -
from dependency to criminal - make it imperative to elect qualified Black
judges who are committed to the fair and equitable distribution of justice.
Ideally, voters should be responsible for obtaining the information they
need to make good decisions. Realisticall, everyone knows how seldom that
happens.
Most voters actually want to have the information they need to determine who
the better candidate is, they just do not want to have to get it for
themselves. Once elected, Black judges must do more to retain their seats.
Judges must be careful about taking a public stand on legal issues; however,
they can promote their accomplishments and share with voters who they are
and why they should be allowed to serve.
This is not to say that simply because a judge is Black that they should get
a free pass from the Black community. Votes should be checking out how all
judges rule and determine which jurists are committed to the fair and equitable
distribution of justice. As late writer Zora Neale Hurston said "all our
skin folk ain't our kin folks." We need only to look at Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas for evidence to support her theory."
Where have all the Black activists gone?
March 12- March 18. Volume 80, Number 27, Pg 1A
By Jason T. Smith Times Writer
A brief survey of local grassroots activist groups suggests that the level of activism in the Black community is indeed down from decades ago, but there still exists a fervent core of activists who are attempting to shake up the powers that be and reshape the political community in the interest of the common person. According to leaders of local civil rights groups, the number of citizens participating in demonstrations fluctuates depending on the issue. And the overall zeal for activism is down, in part because of past successes of the civil rights movement and the relative latency of racism today as compared to the 1960s.
Oh oh - Here comes more discrimination as Haitian taget Anglos also. Who do Haitians and Hispanics think they are?
Haitian political influence grows in north Miami-Dade
May 28 - June 3. Volume 80, Number 38, Pg 1A
The political structure of northeast Miami-Dade County is changing, and the person who started the ball rolling in 1993 is continuing to bring about change in his newly adopted city of North Miami Beach. Local politicians began to sit up and take notice last week when Philippe Derose won his runoff election against John Julien to become North Miami Beach’s first Haitian-American council member. In 1993 Derose was the first Haitian-American elected to office in the United States when he won a seat on the El Portal village council. Eventually, he became vice mayor and then mayor of the village.
check out the video feed from the THIRD DISTRICT COURT OF APPEAL regards Juan D'Arce and Judge Hernandez
got to www.operationrestorejustice.com
I just saw the video and wonder what the 3rd DCA had to say about it. I mean, if the guy was obstructed he must have won. Captain, how can we find the case and it's outcome? That guy sounds whacked. Miguel De La O sliced him like a Ninja and the Court did not even ask him any questions. Interesting go-nowhere unrelated story.
what is lipinskis defense, being a justice bldg bottom feeder, or being stupid. maybe he will flip of sy.
oh miguel de la o or d'arce stop making post in here it for regular joe's. btw the judges did not ask miguel any question either and he is a sleaze ball
What a mess, Judge Ivan Hernandez, recently had a "show cause order" (writ of mandamus) issued against him by the Third District Court of Appeal, after his Judicial Assistant Juan D'Arce was rude and denied a litigant access to his Court.
Judge Samuel J. Slom (the Administrative Judge overseeing Judge Hernandez), tells the Miami Herald on May 30, 2006, that he has received numerous upon numerous complaints about Juan D'Arce being rude, insensitive and obstructing the access of litigants to the Court. CLICK HERE TO PLAY THE AUDIO.
Take a moment to watch the below video of the oral argument in the Third District Court of Appeal were Attorney Miguel De La O, (who is friends with Juan D'Arce) attempts to defend the conduct of Judge Hernandez and his Judicial Assistant.
pay close attention to the rebuttal portion of the video
CLICK HERE FOR WINDOWS MEDIA VIDEO.
What are we going to heard next? That Chief Judge Levy and Judge Rothenberg are in on the obstruction since they ruled against the fat boy.
Should it be what a "Ness" instead of what a mess?
Those that were there at the Judicial Forum this weekend in Miami Gardens heard Judge Hernandez state he had no knowledge that Juan was consulting for judicial candidates and was one of the best JA's ever. He's not only a dupe, he's a liar.

After seeing the video, you begin to see the problem when a judicial employee who controls access to the court engages in favoritism. This man couldn't get a hearing which has been a continual complaint against D'Arce on top of the ethnic and racial slurs he is accused of. When he engages in running judicial campaigns he adds another more frightening dimension to it..how would you like to be a litigant represented by an attorney who opposes one of his candidates when he controls access to the docket? There's a good reason the ethical rules say a judge should uphold the integrity and independence of the judiciary and shall avoid impropriety in all his activities. Those same rules say he cannot lend the prestige of judicial office to advance the private interests of the judge or others. "Others" include your JA, Ivan, you're the captain of the ship. And if you didn't know it while it was happening under your nose then you really do deserve to lose. I'm voting for Faber.
You must be a great lawyer to come up with that analysis since the 3rd DCA ruled against the guy. Are you on the wheel or something? I suggest you research the case.
Seems that the argument made on the video was about DV reform.
so instead of making a point you call him a slur "fat boy". But thats Hernandez and D'Arce style, given D'Arce made anti-semintic slurs against the administartive judges.
Just because someone exposes the truth or lack thereof sould not make him subject to slurs.
GROW UP!! stick to the facts like the herald has.
PS. The miami new times story show judge wells was in opposition to that guy, and low-n-b-hold she is now in the 3dca , but sure that has no affect on the guys recent appeals against judge hernandez??
enlighten us

hernandez 56%
now get your ass back to juvi.
PC is getting too weird. The guy is fat. What the hell? If he was thin, then the thin guy. Stop crying and get over being ugly also.

I say Drama Queen.
sorry about the 3 post my server went wacko was not intentional
I may still vote for Judge Cohen...
He is consumed by his sister's life and death and by the disdain he feels for those whom he says contributed to her untimely passing. Few other thoughts, it seems, cross his mind. His world is a lonely one. He relies on public transportation and recently moved in with a friend “from the music business” because he couldn't afford to pay his rent. He hasn't been working since 1997 and says he gets by on royalties from some of the Menudo music he owns, which mostly sells in Latin-American countries.
McGillis also faces many accusations. The state's welfare agency and juvenile court considers him a harasser and manipulator. A few days after Wendolyn died, McGillis videotaped her children answering questions about what transpired before their mother's death. The DCF claims McGillis brainwashed the kids into believing Benge killed their mother. McGillis denies the allegations. He's jammed up many fax machines. During a hearing in October 1999, Judge Jeri Cohen complained about it. “You are not to fax me anything else,” Cohen ordered. “If you have something. I'm warning you not to do it. Let me tell you something, Mr. McGillis. Look at me. That fax machine is my fax machine. I pay for all the ribbons in that, and since you have started faxing me information my bills -- and I'll call my secretary in here -- have gone up. It's costing me $85 a month in ribbons because of all the junk you've sent me.”
According to DCF's district administrator Charles Auslander, McGillis had harassed attorney Lucy Piniero by calling her office 50 times in a row. Judge Cohen entered an order prohibiting him from communicating with anyone from the Department of Children and Families, particularly Piniero. McGillis appealed. “Well, you know the problem with that was that maybe he only called 40 times,” says E. Joseph Ryan, Jr., an appeals expert who represented McGillis in the Third District Court of Appeal. “It sounded like a fantasy.” Once police even dragged him out of the Juvenile Justice Center in handcuffs because he wouldn't leave Piniero's office until he spoke to her. McGillis was charged with trespassing even though he was in a public building during business hours.
While McGillis clearly has crossed lines, those opposing him have as well. Judge Cohen has questioned his sanity: “Darrin is mentally ill.... You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that he's got severe psychological problems,” she said during a hearing in April 1999.
My concern watching the 3d DCA argument is that the fat guy is not that fat - you agree? I mean, he's not thin as a rail, but fat as in fat guy? I dont know - lets debate this for a few days
why are we discussing this mcgillis guy - is he the fat guy?
Yes he is. The infamous Court, DCF and Judge Hater. Here are his cases that pist him off. Should have hired a lawyer.

CASE PENING UNDER SC06-505 IN FLORIDA SUPREME COURT
Don't you get it? The fat guy is D. McGillis who Faber met at juvi court when he was before Judge Cohen when he was trying to gain custody of his sister's kids. They are now working together in a smear campaign.
They are working with Faber to oust Hernandez. I guess Faber picked him because McGillis has sued everyone: His mother, DCF, (his) lawyers, The New Times and maybe the Blog/Rumpole is next or maybe you or me or both! Poor Judge Cohen had to recuse herself from his case as she was scared of him and his constant calling, faxing and visits to her Court. He is not that smart, but be cautious.
that comment by Judge Cohen about the fat guy .... that could get her a JQC complaint?
Thats not a judicial conduct and sounded nasty.
dont believe everything you read
Judge Cohen must have been super scared of the McGillis fella'. I just finished reading the whole story about him and his doings to the system and I cannot believe the havoc McGillis can serve. He should be Baker Acted.
Read the story:
http://www.miaminewtimes.com/issues/2000-07-27/news/feature.html
I may still vote for Judge Cohen...

I won't call you 50 times like you did at juvi or fax you like you did with poor Judge Cohen.
COUNTY COURT
'SUPER GLUE' CASE NOW TIED TO POLITICS
It all started with Super Glue in Darrin McGillis' lock.
Then came a small-claims suit, a countersuit, appellate briefs, Supreme Court arguments, motions upon
motions upon motions, including some that McGillis acknowledges were deemed frivolous by the courts. By the time it was all over, and it actually isn't, really, the glue and the lock didn't matter anymore. The fight was about the technicalities of the law and what's fair and what's legal and what argument McGillis could think up to fight with.
Now the one-time concert promoter has taken his fight to the political arena, setting up a website to try to unseat the judge who first heard the Super Glue case.
Operationrestorejus
tice.com is causing a bit of a buzz in courthouse circles for its out-of-nowhere quality. The website reprints a Miami Herald article about the race between candidate Robin Faber and Judge Ivan Hernandez, and endorses Faber. Faber says he knows nothing about McGillis. Hernandez couldn't be reached.
The funny thing? McGillis, 39, of Miami says he won his suits. The man who he claimed put Super Glue in his door lock paid for it. And the domestic-violence suit that man filed against McGillis was dropped.
McGillis just thinks Hernandez should have awarded him money to cover the costs of the suits.
The Florida Supreme Court declined to hear the case and the Third District Court of Appeals has sanctioned McGillis. He has, of course, appealed that to the Florida Supreme Court. In the meantime, McGillis is vowing to update the website twice a day with news about the judicial races.

NESMITH
Mr. Robin (the eternal PD without trying a case) Faber met Darrin McGilllis at Juvi Court when the man was doing the TPR case for his sister's children. This fact cannot be refuted. McGilllis was in Juvi all the time and Faber met him there. Now, they have joined forces. One caveat though! Faber never thought McGilllis would get so out of hand as he has and now he is trying to break away. It will not be easy though. McGilllis will end up suing Faber as well for "Breach of Specific Performance" for selling him out. Go figure.
Come on, who would try to discredit McGillis or call him "KooKo, unstable, manic, etc.."? I think I know, the Judges office & friends posting anonymously and cowardly. Who else would become a player in this game. Personally, it's a shame to know this people work for us and do this kind of things. McGillis is a private citizen (not running for public office) who is simply seeking justice denied to him by an unfair judgement. Isn't such our right, but they want to silence him by making him look bad. And as for the insults posted here, I think standing up against the powerfull and connected is very brave, not crazy so where did you get your psych degree, Burger King University? By the way, I hope you are not doing this from your office, on our time and money, so get back to work.
Whatever. Not like this man has not laid a trail of abuse and harassment. Check for victims. Please.
Actually, I have met him. While most of us take the the flaws in the system and accept the loss, Mr. McGillis refuses to be victimized by it's shortcommings. The issue with DCF was based on his concern about the wellbeing of his orfan nefews. He took the trouble to help them and took on the system. While most of us walk away when we are pushed, sometimes some people do not and I guess you are not used to that at DCF or at the courthouse. I consider Mr. McGillis a great friend, and know him as a person who always helps others selflessly. He wouldn't be involved if it wasn't to fight a true injustice, which he does very well by the way. There is nothing for him to personally gain other than to live in a better country. Which of us would take that trouble?

McGillis v. Ness PCA Affirmance is on page 6.
yea it was a PCA nut he filed amot for rehearing today check it out under case search
06/14/2006 Motion For Rehearing Darrin Mc Gillis & request for written opinion
06/14/2006 Received Exhibits Darrin Mc Gillis to the motion for rehearing
I hear those are usually really successful. ***roll of the eyes*** Take a hint dude.
the ruke changed in 2002 and the appellant courts must write a opinion when requested by a litigant in a rehearing motion. perhaps rehearing will be denied but a opinion will come out of the request for one.
with out a opinion he has to go straight to the United States Supreme Court with a opinion he can seek conflict review in the florida supreme court (although those are rarely accepted).
PCA's are just a denial of due process and lazy appellant judges.
thats RULE
It is appellate judges, Darrin. Learn to spell.
Darin, you should be suing the Clerk's Office of Miami-Dade for issuing an Emergency Subpoena to you without have a Notice or Court Order. They will pay you for being untrained. Make history so they stop getting away with this crapp.
And hey, Darin, stop lying about the number of people who have seen your site. The MJB blog averages 500 people a day. You think anyone believes you get over 30,000 hits in about 10 days? Put a sitemeter like Rumpole if you expect anyone to believe.
word has it the reason operationrestorejustice.com got over 30,000 vistors is because he did a massive bulk emailing to over 40,000 members of the florida bar and caused a massive amount of hits.
also herald was nice enough to put his site address in mondays paper. called word of mouth
whats this about emergency supoena?? were that come from?
Darin should post his picture on the site so we can see his handsome face. There may be some ladies that may be looking for a "Appellant Court Rumpole!"
B-)
The website really is poetic justice....Juan's been such a pr*ck over the years and his judge has let him get away with it for so long even after complaints were being made. They both deserve to be on the receiving end. Don't know how many voters will see it but the lawyers will and they will pay attention to the rule violations and abandon Ivan's campaign. Without money he's toast.

JUDGE ACCUSED OF CAMPAIGN VIOLATIONS
A complaint has been filed against Juan F. Gonzalez with the Florida Judicial Qualifications Commission and the Miami-Dade Ethics Commission alleging he committed campaign violations in his race against County Judge Steve Leifman.
The complaint, filed by Leifman's campaign co-chair David Marko, says that Gonzalez's statement to The Miami Herald that Leifman didn't work full-time violates the state's Judicial Cannon of Ethics.
''The suggestion is that Judge Leifman is misusing his position on the bench,'' Marko wrote in the complaint. He then went on to list the various duties Leifman has as associate administrative judge in county court, as well as Leifman's work on the court's mental health commission.
The complaint also claims that Gonzalez told the audience at a campaign forum that he worked ''under'' Public Defender Bennett Brummer for 10 years, though he has never worked in the Public Defender's Office.
Gonzalez could not be reached for comment.
I know that is so wrong. Leifman works hard charging excesive fines and telling police officers what to do as well as setting aside B/W for Joe Klock on an Ex-parte basis. (Check the files.)
If mental health is so important, why is there no Division. There must be over 1,000 defendants that could have benefited from such services. Is it all talk only?

NEW ACCUSATIONS AGAINST JUDICIAL AIDE
JOAN FLEISCHMAN, jfleischman@MiamiHerald.com
Another complaint against Juan F. D'Arce Jr., judicial assistant to Miami-Dade County Judge Ivan Hernandez. Criminal defense attorney Philip Reizenstein says D'Arce refused Wednesday to schedule a court matter for a client.
Reizenstein says there's a story behind that story: D'Arce, he says, displayed ``inappropriate'' behavior by showing up at his house Feb. 26 - uninvited on a Sunday - demanding to speak to him. Reizenstein's wife and law partner, Jacqueline Woodward, talked to D'Arce but did not let him in.
Reizenstein says D'Arce was upset that he hadn't returned two phone calls. Reizenstein, furious about the surprise visit, called D'Arce at the courthouse the next day and chewed him out.
D'Arce says Reizenstein threatened him, saying: ``Look, m--- f---, if you ever come to my house, I'm going to put a bullet in your head and drag you out in a body bag.'' That, D'Arce says, is why he didn't calendar Reizenstein's motion. ``I'm fearful of my life.''
Reizenstein, 43, denies threatening him. ``I chose my words carefully.'' He says he warned D'Arce that if he ``came to my house again I would take it as a threat and I would defend my family.''
Reizenstein says D'Arce has no right to refuse to calendar a case. ``I don't know what makes this judicial assistant think he can interfere with the administration of justice. I don't care if he doesn't like me. This guy is a self-appointed king.''
D'Arce, 34, is under investigation for allegedly running a consulting business on court time, and using bullying tactics to solicit clients. Prosecutors have seized D'Arce's courthouse computer.
Reizenstein sent a three-page letter to Chief Judge Joseph Farina. He mentions D'Arce's house call but says: ``Mr. D'Arce's interference with a Florida citizen's access to the courts . . . is the subject of my complaint.''
D'Arce says he went to Reizenstein's home to talk about who is authoring an anonymous blog on courthouse goings-on (justice
building.blogspot.com).
Says D'Arce: ``I kept on hearing rumors that people thought I was writing that stupid blog.'' He says some people told him they suspect Reizenstein is the blogger. ``I just wanted to ask him if he knew who the blog[ger] was.''
D'Arce also says he thought he and Reizenstein were friends. Says Reizenstein: ``I'd have a hard time picking him out of a lineup.''
Reizenstein says he doesn't know or care about the identity of the blogger, who
goes by the nom de plume ``Rumpole.'' Reizenstein says he did not return D'Arce's calls because he was in a first-degree murder trial, and that when D'Arce showed up at his house, he was napping, as was his 11-month-old son.
D'Arce says Hernandez's bailiff, Josh Estevez, heard Reizenstein's alleged threat via speakerphone. ``I told Juan to file a police report,'' Estevez says. D'Arce did not: ``I don't want to ruin his legal career.''
This is very funny. I read all of these archaic as well as inflammatory posts and now I see the truth. Judge Hernandez and Juan were Guinea Pigs to save the ass of Judge Leifman who was all to scare to lose yet another election, Judge Slom who knew how dislike his service to the traffic division has been, Robin Faber who is a terrible lawyer and now Judge and Darrin McGillis who is vindictive against any person or politician who goes or rules against him.
Operation Restore Justice was surely used by Faber, Slom and Leifman to attack Judge Hernandez and Juan. Though, Fernandez-Rundle and Alex Acosta were to afraid to bust this corruption circle wide-open as it would have taken down the majority of the judiciary.
Voters need to be more vigilant of corrupted judges and people who manipulate the system to push illegal investigations, agendas and harm good patriots. Truth be told, history clears all questions and shows true intentions. For all the allegations and accusations, nothing ever happened. Why? Abuse of the system. The Miami Herald should be ashamed of its participation in this sad moment in judicial election history.
