A complaint was filed with the NYS Judicial Conduct Commission requesting to take Judge Richard Gumo of Delhi Town Court of the bench

I have just filed a complaint against Judge Richard Gumo of Delhi Town Court requesting to take him off the bench because of his continued misconduct in rubber stamping and allowing his court clerk to rubber-stamp warrants (and, possibly, other court documents), as well as for lying to attorneys and to the Delaware County Court under oath, and for having people put in jail and criminally prosecuted in based on arrest warrants that he knew to be false.

I attached to the complaint the following documents:

1) Gumo's testimony in front of NYS Commission for Judicial Conduct on September 18, 2014;
2) Gumo's testimony in front of Delaware County Court on February 24, 2016 when he was caught by attorney Joseph Ermeti about

• the time when he left to New York City to testify in front of the Judicial Conduct Commission,
• that he has a disability that prevents him from signing his own warrants - which is the requirement of Criminal Procedure Law;
• as to the day when he stamped the warrant;
• as to the fact that he himself stamped the warrant, and not his court clerk Cathy Fletcher;

3) the Commission's Determination of Gumo's prior misconduct, made in December of 2014;

4) the transcript of a felony hearing that I personally handled in front of Gumo on behalf of Barbara O'Sullivan, when Gumo failed to disclose to me that he or his clerk stamped Barbara's arrest warrant, making it illegal - that would have resulted in my immediate motion to dismiss, and would have saved Barbara 1.5 years of criminal litigation, and would have saved the Delaware County costs of the grand jury proceedings, of jailing Barbara and of prosecuting Barbara;

5) Judge Lambert's ruling that the warrant is invalid because of Gumo's misconduct;

6) Acting DA John Hubbard's request to dismiss the indictment because of the pre-trial ruling that no evidence derived from the illegal arrest warrant may be used at trial; and

7) Judge Lambert's dismissal of Barbara O'Sullivan's case on February 25, 2016 - see items 5), 6) and 7) published in my earlier blog here.

Since Gumo continues, according to witnesses, to rubber-stamp or allow his court clerk Cathy Fletcher to rubber stamp warrants, I do not know how he will wiggle out of this one.

The question that remains is - why Acting Delaware County DA John Hubbard did not prosecute Judge Gumo for perjury and did not investigate him for official misconduct?

Because Acting DA Hubbard benefits from Judge Gumo's misconduct by drumming up convictions that allowed him to run for the office of the District Attorney and claim to voters that he is "tough on crime"?
