Waiting for the "lawful means" to secure my attendance in court - despite a medical leave due to injury
Yesterday, Judge Kevin M. Dowd, through his law clerk Claudette Newman, threatened me that if I do not show up for trial today, despite my medically documented injury and medical leave for two weeks, he will use "lawful means" to "secure my attendance" in court.
So, I am in bed waiting for the SWAT team to show up.
I wonder what "lawful" means can "secure attendance" in court of a medically confirmed injured person and can force her to work when her doctor says she can't.
No matter what Judge Dowd orders, my injury will not instantly heal because of his rulings...
And I wonder, if Judge Dowd proceeds to trial today in Mokay v. Mokay, Delaware County (New York) Index No. 2007-695, without me as Defendant's attorney, what law that the judge read allows him to put an injured attorney before a Hobson's choice - either aggravate her injury and appear in court to try the case, whether she can or cannot physically do it, or to forfeit her client's rights.
And is it any surprise that Judge Dowd used this newly created "law" against an immigrant female attorney and her client who is also her husband - while granting multiple medical adjournments in the same case of the same jury trial without any competent evidence of injury to American-born male attorneys for the asking, with a smile?
Does not seem like a coincidence to me. Seems more like bigotry.
