He followed the law and played it straight and fair. <br /><br />County court judges: I always liked Lando, Kreiger-Martin and Colby (too bad Colby self-destructed, he was a great judge). I also give Leifman a lot of credit for focusing on offenders with mental health issues. I agree that Wolfson is working her way onto this list. She was a great prosecutor and is making a great judge.<br /><br />Circuit: I loved Lando. She knew the law and was very sypathetic to defendants with alcohol, drug and mental health issues (she never hesitated to deviate downward when she thought it was the right thing to do). Schu, Lopez, Emas, Piniero, also a pleasure. Farina also was great back in the day.<br /><br />Rump, I'm curious who everything thinks the up and comers are (other than Andrea, who everyone knows about). <br /><br />BTDTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-54204673876077689852012-08-03T11:15:50.225-04:002012-08-03T11:15:50.225-04:00Hey 12:50 and 7:56, why don't you just fess up...Hey 12:50 and 7:56, why don't you just fess up to being Catalano, who gets his judicial clients by making the same clients--then I am happy to unmask and we can compare notes.

Fro...THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:<br /><br />JUDGE PANDO UPDATE ....<br /><br />From the DBR:<br /><br />With the ethics trial of Miami-Dade County Court Judge Ana Maria Pando seven weeks away, the attorney for the Judicial Qualifications Commission said at a Tuesday status conference he was still waiting for most of her phone records.<br /><br />Lansing Scriven of Quarles & Brady in Tampa, special counsel for the JQC, said he had received phone records only for the past 90 days after requesting records dating back to 2010. Scriven said he is looking for phone calls and text messages between Pando and Mark Cereceda, a friend of the judge.<br /><br />He owns several medical clinics that treat patients injured in car wrecks, and his clinics often are parties appearing in personal injury lawsuits in her court.<br /><br />Cereceda asked Pando for an order to reinstate his company, Florida Wellness & Rehabilitation Center Inc., after it was dissolved for 163 days. She declined but wrote the state Division of Corporations on her official letterhead requesting it be reactivated. The division treated it as a court order, reinstating the corporation at no charge.<br /><br />The JQC maintains Pando's letter "constituted the practice of law" and is forbidden by the state judicial ethics code.<br /><br />A month after she sent the letter, Pando received four $500 checks for her re-election campaign from businesses owned by Cereceda.<br /><br />Pando's attorney, Robert Josefsberg of Podhurst Orseck in Miami, assured the special counsel that the requested records had not arrived yet because of delays typical in dealing with telephone companies. He assured the court they would be provided soon.<br /><br />Pando was scheduled for a deposition today, but that was postponed until more records are in hand for questioning.<br /><br />Broward Circuit Judge Paul Backman, who is hearing the case against Pando, noted Pando faces a challenger in the Aug. 14 primary.<br /><br />"We'll have more information once the election has happened," he said.<br /><br />Another status conference was set for Aug. 22, and Pando's trial is set Sept. 18-19 in Miami.<br /><br />Cap Out ....CAPTAIN JUSTICEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12179932096244679236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19039943.post-38355309894082973842012-08-01T13:26:31.889-04:002012-08-01T13:26:31.889-04:00I'm not going to fill the blog with negative a...I'm not going to fill the blog with negative anonymous snipping at judges on a "worst ever" topic.
