when a judge ignores 3 orders to show cause
Firstly, can a judge ignore an order to show cause?
No, a judge typically cannot ignore an order to show cause. Such orders are legally binding, and judges are expected to address them according to legal procedures. If there are concerns about an order, they should be raised through proper legal channels.
Secondly, upon receiving an order to show cause, a judge is legally required to review the request, assess the supporting documentation or arguments, and make a decision based on the merits of the case. The judge should then issue an appropriate ruling, which may involve granting or denying the relief sought, or taking other necessary actions as dictated by the legal context of the order. Ignoring or neglecting the order without proper legal justification would be considered a breach of judicial duty.
I recorded the conversation with the Saugerties village clerk regarding one of my Orders to Show Cause.
She told me there was “No action taken.” Meaning the judge did not approve it, nor did he deny it. He ignored it. He ignored two that I filed and one that my attorney filed. Unfortunately, the attorney that way ignored was provided through legal aid and apparently was not aware that this was not legal. I asked him if a judge was allowed to just ignore an order to show cause — his reply was, “yeah I guess that is strange.”
Thanks man.
I start shaking and my heart starts pounding every time I think about this or talk about it. Because although I’m sitting in my car right now, PTSD causes your body to go into fight or flight mode when just the threat of the trauma comes back.
When I say I start shaking, I don’t mean just my hands. I mean my entire body is shaking. You can hear it in my voice, and when I walk my legs feel like Jell-O.
