Judge Dowd uses Kelly Sanfilippo to return the witness checks after trying the case despite being disqualified

I called Judge Dowd to testify in the Mokay proceedings, along with his secretary Brenda Beckwith and his law clerk Claudette Newman.

I had a reason to, I had evidence making these three people witnesses in the proceedings.  I will keep my reasons confidential, since I believe I will need them for the re-trial of the case after reversal of the ex parte trial.

The judge used my medical leave as an invitation to deny me and my client an adjournments for medical reasons, hold the trial in my absence (and not a jury trial as it was scheduled to be, but a bench trial), and conducting a "shrunk" trial in one day, or, possibly, one day and a portion of the next, since I am still on a medical leave and was not there, I am not sure what happened.

Yet, today Kelly Sanfilippo, the court clerk of the Delaware County Supreme Court, sent me an email:

As you see, no greeting, even though Ms. Sanfilippo knows me from communications on a daily basis, I was always polite with her and never failed to say "hello" to her.

Apparently, because Judge Dowd is rude to me and considers me and my client below the law, his employees join in the treatment, too.

Apparently, Judge Dowd took checks from the other two witnesses (which he had absolutely no right to do) and returned them back, and Kelly Sanfilippo simply told me to pick them up.

Well, I won't.

This case will have to be reversed because of the ex parte trial by a witness despite of a documented medical leave of the defense counsel, and Judge Dowd and his employees will have to take the stand.

They will need the checks then.

Here is my answer to Ms. Sanfilippo (we are on a first name basis, we know each other for a number of years):

And the e-mail exchange, of course, will go to the Judicial Conduct Commission - pertaining to behavior of Judge Dowd and off the bench behavior of Judge Claudette Newman.
