More Political News from everyone's favorite Captain:
TARGET NUMBER 2:
CIRCUIT JUDGE MARIA KORVICK
Looks like even the veteran judges will be fighting for their jobs. Longtime Circuit Court Judge Maria Korvick, assigned to the Probate Division and the Administrative Judge to that Division, drew opposition today.Carlos Alberto Enriquez filed today in Group 31 against Korvick. Enriquez became a member of The Florida Bar in 1984 and lists his area of expertise as real property, probate and trust. According to a Stetson bio, the 1983 graduate of the law school spends most of his time representing Cuban nationals in US courts on probate matters.
The Captain would like to know whether this Carlos Alberto Enriquez is the same Carlos Alberto Enriquez, or Coral Gables, that was issued a final order in 1994, which denied him an Ohio Securities Salesman License. The Securities Division found that "Enriquez was not of good business repute" as that phrase is defined in the Ohio Securities Act and Rules. Specifically, the Division found that in 1993, the NASD censured and fined Enriquez $14,400 for engaging in "free riding" in connection with an initial public offering in contravention of the NASD Rules. Also, the Division found that in 1982, the Chicago Board Options Exchange censured and suspended Enriquez for effectuating unauthorized transactions in a customer's account.
What say you Mr. Enriquez???
Judge Korvick should be ready for the fight, as she has raised $126,062 from 486 contributors.
OTHER NEWS:The Captain would like to know whether candidate Gina Mendez is having second thoughts about her challenge to incumbent Judge Lawrence Schwartz in Group 42. With the final qualifying date fast approaching, Mendez is the only challenger in Circuit Court (other than Enriquez) who has opened a campaign account, but has not paid the qualifying fee and submitted the final qualifying papers necessary to be formally committed to a run for office. Mendez has raised a total of $15,575 while Schwartz has raised and committed a total of $252,949 to the campaign. What say you Ms. Mendez .... IN or OUT
CAPTAIN OUT ........
Gina Mendez is in. Don't doubt it for a second.
ReplyDeleteThe Captain is a BIASED CAPTAIN. In street slang, a BIATCH.
ReplyDeleteIf you are going to report, be fair, not a biased jerk.
Why doesnt Mendez run against Miller? She would have a much better chance. From reading this blog, seems like defense attorneys would be lining up to throw checks at her.
ReplyDeleteWe view bias as prejudice, as in pre-judging someone before we know the facts.
ReplyDeleteWe also believe in calling a spade a spade.
We have not prejudged Enriquez; we simply want to know the truth. If candidate Enriquez is not the same as the Enriquez we mentioned in our piece, then I am sure we will be corrected. If he is, the voters of Miami-Dade County have a right to know all the facts before they cast their ballot in September.
and the Captain has spoken .....
fuck ohio
ReplyDeleteMendez ought to run against Miller if she's goinmg to run. The name Schwartz is still a pretty good one. Last time, Jeffrey Schwartz got 49% against Pozo-Revilla while the other teo incumbent white judges got beat 57-43 by their Hisp. challengers. Plus L. Schwartz already has so much $, and nobody dislikes the guy the way Miller is disliked. Much better chance, from a strategic perspective, of Mendez beating Miller tham Schwartz. But she never seemed to be that savvy or intelligent anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe 12:27 pm poster is correct. Mendez is not the brightest bulb on the tree. If you ever worked with her, it would become very evident in the first few minutes. The worst part is that she thinks she knows everything. She should have stayed at the SAO. If she still runs against L. Schwartz, he will definitely get my vote and my money. We need intelligent judges and Mendez just does not fit the bill.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't VIVA LA RAZA mean "long live the race"? So, I wonder exactly what is the difference b/t that and the White Supremacy movement? After all, those people always just say they're in favor of being proud of whites and white culture,etc. Are you VIVA LA RAZA people really that much different? Some people, sadly, are obsessed with skin color. If nothing much matters about a person other that... It's hard to imagine anything positive coming from that type of race-worship. Tribalism has to stop!
ReplyDeleteRumpole, I have a mission for you. I was in court this morning and heard an interpreter tell the judge and an attorney that she could not interpret for the Defendant's mother. The interpreter said "As per the administrative order of Judge Farina, we cannot interpret for a Defendant's family." This is mind boggling. Something straight out of Broward!! Help! This calls for a sarcastical, cynical, snide type of individual, so I turned my lonely eyes to you.

Would the World's Meanest Defense Attorney please give me a call? Just need a few more details, what courtroom, etc. Call can be anonymous, if you so chose.

CAMPAIGN UPDATE:
ReplyDeleteMENDEZ IS IN. Gina Mendez paid her qualifying fee today and she is officially a candidate to unseat Circuit Court Judge Lawrence Schwartz.
CAPTAIN OUT .............
Jeffrey Schwartz got 49% of the vote and Pozo-Ravilla spent over $220000.00, much of it hers, to unseat him.
ReplyDeleteCaptain,
ReplyDeleteIn response to your query whether I am the same Carlos Alberto Enriquez that was issued a final order in 1994 denying an Ohio Securities Salesman License, let me assure you that I am not. The Carlos Alberto Enriquez you mention to the best of my knowledge and belief was an “accountant” who lived in Coral Gables, Florida. I remember being called by several reporters back then to verify if I was that Carlos Alberto Enriquez. I am not. Thank you for giving me the opportunity of getting “the record” on the Justice Building Blog straight.
Carlos Enriquez
to World's Meanest Attorney,
ReplyDeleteNevermind.

Can someone explain to me what Gina Mendez's qualifications are to be a Circuit Court Judge (other than being a lawyer for five years)? Did she have any claim to fame as an SAO? Only time I have heard her name as a defense lawyer is when she represented some cop some months ago that was convicted of having sex with an underage girl. I understand he turned down a very sweet plea at Mendez's recommendation, was sentenced to almost 20 years, and he fired Mendez for the appeal. What else has she done?
ReplyDeleteThis guy Millan is putting in against Mills Francis if he has not already.
ReplyDeleteI heard he already filed aginst Skip Gross.
ReplyDeletewith a named like SKIP you'd think it was in palm beach
ReplyDeleteANyone else remeber when GM and hubby JL were involved with bogus time issues while they were dating? Seems he signed out to Court but was missing in action and was repremanded for it. All part of public documents. Why do people with baggage in their past sunbect themselves to public scrutiny?
