I recall reading the defense charged the judge with conflict of interest. I don't see that charge in this blog. <br /><br />I note the Hugh Caperton v. Massie Coal case at the US Supreme Court, also contains a charge of conflict of interest. A judge on the West Virginia state Supreme Court did not recuse himself when he had clear ties to Massie Coal. This case was heard in March but there is no opinion released that I can find.<br /><br />If the Siegleman Defense team did charge conflict of interest with the judge in his case, are not these cases related? If these cases are related, do you know the reason for the delay in the ruling in the Caperton case at the US Supreme Court?Dennis Wnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-24256240588546810792009-03-10T11:28:00.000-05:002009-03-10T11:28:00.000-05:00In response to "Anonymous": It is well established...In response to "Anonymous": It is well established that the random assignment of panels can be and has been successfully circumvented, so PLEASE spare me your comment in an age where judgments are available by paying bribes to elected officials in return for ex parte contacts to judges and law clerks with intent o intimidated them to rule against the non-payor.LiarsDenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17646472117260108323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-49012014034549596792008-12-05T08:51:00.000-06:002008-12-05T08:51:00.000-06:00Again for what it's worth...here's a statement fro...Again for what it's worth...here's a statement from Hill where he dissented on an opinion. <BR/><BR/>"Today we issue an opinion holding that an attorney's subjective good intentions may relieve her from liability for sanctions for her objectively reckless pursuit of a patently frivolous claim. Because this holding flatly contradicts the law of this circuit, I must respectfully dissent." So begins a lengthy dissenting opinion issued today by Senior Circuit Judge James C. Hill from the ruling of the majority on a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit."<BR/><BR/>Given the case he is speaking to, in this instance he seems a stickler for following rule. This one gives me a little hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-5369404032610371212008-12-05T08:43:00.000-06:002008-12-05T08:43:00.000-06:00I'm researching the panel judges a bit.

You obviously have no understanding how panels are picked for federal appellate cases. They are a random draw. If you had bothered to do your research, you would have also discovered that all of the Alabama-based appellate judges recused themselves from this case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-90946771084944857922008-11-28T14:16:00.000-06:002008-11-28T14:16:00.000-06:00Yes, he could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and...Yes, he could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and probably would. But there is no guarantee that the Supreme Court would grant certiorari to hear the case. That's why the 11th Circuit ruling is so important.legalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-44728892940029481462008-11-28T06:21:00.000-06:002008-11-28T06:21:00.000-06:00If this court rules against Siegelman, can he appe...If this court rules against Siegelman, can he appeal to the Supreme Court?MagginKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11582462544042950170noreply@blogger.com
