Something clicked somewhere with Mokay trial exhibits - once yet another complaint against Judge Kevin Dowd was filed

I received today an "index" (list" of trial exhibits for the ex parte Mokay trial.

I received the list 47 minutes (!) after I filed an additional complaint against Judge Dowd with the NYS Commission for Judicial Conduct for blocking me from reviewing the exhibits or from seeing even the list of exhibits admitted at trial and influencing the stenographer not to give me the index, and for Judge Dowd's attempt to punish me for being injured and sick and on a legitimate medical leave on the day of trial, and to award against me "costs" of calling jurors to the courthouse.

Here are the scans of my e-mails.

I've sent my complaint by e-mail to the NYS Commission for Judicial Conduct at 3:10 pm:


Brenda Friedel wrote to me with the "index" of trial exhibits at 3:57 pm, in 47 minutes:


The stenographer apologized in an e-mail and said that it was (allegedly) entirely her fault that she "forgot" to include the "index" of exhibits into the trial transcript.

At the same time, the Delaware County Supreme Court Clerk Kelly Sanfilippo and her assistant clearly indicated in recorded telephone conversations that Judge Dowd's chambers directed them not to release the list of exhibits to me.

Moreover, the interesting part is that the index is not made a part of the transcript, has separate numeration from numeration in the transcript, and does not have a signature of the stenographer.

For the stenographer who, by the report of seethroughny.net, was earning $105,000.00 a year back in 2008 (and I do not believe that her salary went down in the 7 years since, more likely it went up), such a number of errors in one transcript can hardly be called coincidental.

I understand that Ms. Friedel's professional reputation was simply sacrificed to protect the judge.

Yet, telephone recording speak for themselves - the judge and his chambers gave a direct order to the Delaware County Supreme Court Clerk's office (that was not supposed to even have custody of the record - judging by the letter from the NYS Court Administration), but nevertheless had such custody (judging by the direct recorded admission of the Supreme Court clerk Kelly Sanfilippo) to deny me access not only to trial exhibits, but even to the list of trial exhibits from the ex parte Mokay trial.

Apparently, Judge Dowd is becoming an embarrassment to the New York judicial system.

It is interesting to know - will he be dealt with the same way Carl Becker was?

Will Judge Dowd suddenly discover an urge to spend time with his family and that his judicial career interferes with such long-craved communication?

That would be not a second too soon.

The top secret "index", the list of exhibits that Judge Dowd prohibited the Delaware County Supreme Court Clerk to release to the attorney of record for the defendant, before and after Judge Dowd made a decision against the defendant Fred Neroni in reliance on exhibits in that top secret list, will be published in one of my next blogposts, with an analysis.

Stay tuned.
