What can citizens in America do when our own Federal Courts create victims? That seems to be the case right now in U.S. District Court, District of Connecticut Case # 02-CV-960. This is the Hanson v Ocwen case which is, in my humble opinion, being mishandled very badly by the sitting judge, Christopher F. Droney.First, Judge Droney denied the preliminary injunction that would have allowed plaintiffs freedom from abuse by Ocwen while this matter is considered in the court. That is, I suppose, the judge's prerogative, and if this case were being handled in a normal timeline for these cases, it would be almost over by now. However, it stagnates in the courtroom because this judge lets it! The average length of a case in Federal court is between twelve to sixteen months. We are at fifteen months, folks, and still it is a quagmire! It has not even really begun yet, let alone begun drawing to a close!I am sure that many people involved with this suit have lost their homes in the course of the last fifteen months to Ocwen. Therefore, with his policy of “inaction" Judge Droney is surely creating even more victims! There seems to be absolutely no other way to look at this debacle. Judges are not allowed to write law in America, nor are they allowed to obstruct it. What does Judge Droney think he is doing in that courtroom? There is no way he can claim to be SERVING justice!Judge Droney has become an impediment to justice rather than an instrument of justice!Judge Droney has been asked twice to excuse himself from this case and has twice refused. Why? He certainly seems in no hurry to try this case. He will not let go, nor will he let it move forward. This makes no sense to me and is uncommon behavior for a Federal Judge. He is, in my mind, guilty of judicial misconduct according to the following guidelines:What Is Judicial Misconduct? (The following quote is a “cut and paste" and has not been altered in any way)“The Judicial Councils Reform and Judicial Conduct and Disabilities Act of 1980 (Section 372 of Title 28 of the United States Code) says it is 'conduct prejudicial to the effective expeditious administration of the business of the courts.' Courts have interpreted this to include fraudulent, corrupt, immoral, illegal and dishonest behavior and any physical or mental incapacity to carry out judicial duties. This means a judge who repeatedly commits wrongful acts knowing that they violate a rule of law or standard of behavior can be disciplined. For example, a judge who makes repeated racial slurs against litigants can be found guilty of misconduct. A judge found to have a serious mental or physical handicap that interferes in the performance of judicial duties is usually asked to retire or removed from office. However, if you think the judge has made a mistake during your trial or decided your case wrong, you probably won't succeed in getting the judge investigated for misconduct unless you can prove malice or a repeated pattern of bias or incompetence."I cannot speak for Judge Droney's competence or lack thereof, but I can speak of conduct prejudicial to effective expeditious administration of the business of the courts. It is all here in the PACER printout! Fifteen months of foot-dragging, lollygagging, and plain old farting around. This case has gone beyond “expeditious" any way it is looked at!A repeated pattern of bias seems evident in the fact that Judge Droney seems to like to grant his former associates, Ocwen's attorneys, every motion filed and deny most of Hanson's attorneys' motions.Judge Droney's behavior was certainly dishonest when he failed to reveal his former association with Ocwen counsel.Here are some links to sites that explain conduct expected of judges in this country:Rules and guidelines governing judicial behavior (short form)http://www.newshare.com/west/guidelines.htmlCODE OF CONDUCT FOR UNITED STATES JUDGES (long form w/commentary)http://www.uscourts.gov/guide/vol2/ch1.htmlThis is enlightening reading; I would recommend it to everyone. Draw your own conclusions as to whether judicial conduct has been breached in the Hanson v Ocwen matter. If you feel it has, this link will take you to the complaint procedures for filing a formal complaint in the Second Circuit (where this case is stagnating):RULES OF THE JUDICIAL COUNCIL OF THESECOND CIRCUIT GOVERNING COMPLAINTS AGAINSTJUDICIAL OFFICERS UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 372(c)https://www.tourolaw.edu/2ndCircuit/rules/PartE.htm(Keep in mind that these procedures must be followed to the letter or the complaint goes into the trash. Be sure to send the correct number of copies, etc.) Each complaint receives a docket number and is filed. Any complaints filed against a U.S. Judge remain on his/her record. The complaint record can have a great bearing later on if a judge should receive a Supreme Court nomination. (God save us all from this kind of hanky-panky in our highest court!) If Judge Droney wants to play now, he may pay later. While researching what steps can be taken by average Americans in cases like this, I came upon an amazing discovery. It has become more common than I ever wanted to know for Federal Judges to try cases that they have a financial interest in without disclosing that interest! Since this judge has already failed once to disclose pertinent information, what might prevent him from failing to disclose other things?Links to a series by the Kansas City Star that “tells all" about this situation. It is called “On their Honor: Judges and their Assets". Read it and weep for justice in America:http://www.kcstar.com/judges/There IS a way to find out if there is more to this story than we have been told. Anyone in America can request this asset and investment information about any judge. It is called: REQUEST FOR EXAMINATION OF REPORT FILED BY A JUDICIAL OFFICER OR JUDICIAL EMPLOYEE (Form AO-10a) .20 cents per pagehttp://www.uscourts.gov/forms/AO010a.pdfThis PDF form can be filled out right on your computer and then printed out for mailing. Keep in mind that there is a twenty-cent per page charge for these documents and that the judge will be notified as to who is requesting his records. In fact, he will know that you requested them before you even get them. So what? If he has nothing to hide, this should not be of concern to him.And there may be even more affecting what goes on in this particular courtroom. In the course of all this research, I ran across even more interesting reading from the Hartford Courant. This story concerns Paul J. Silvester, former Connecticut State Treasurer, now convicted and imprisoned. This story came up when I searched the name “Droney" so I kept reading it (and reading it and reading it). It is a long saga of bribery, kickbacks, racketeering, and general corruption of politicians.Finally, in the article dated July 27, 2003 (the last article in the series) I found why the search turned up this series of articles. The name John F. Droney is mentioned in an article entitled “Politics and Piggishness".John F. Droney is our own Judge Droney's brother. John Droney is a Democratic party bigwig in Connecticut. Christopher Droney was appointed to his position by Bill Clinton, a Democratic president. Federal judicial appointments tend to be highly politically motivated, as anyone who follows the news knows. Ocwen is known to be a big supporter of the Democratic party. Sounds like a whole lot of Democrats in a big wad to me. Political agendas do NOT belong in a courtroom.Here is the url that will take you to the series of articles in the Hartford Courant. Read them and, again, you can draw your own conclusions:http://www.ctnow.com/news/local/hc-silvester-sg,0,7156222.storygallery?coll=hc-headlines-local-7dayWho knows if the Connecticut scandal has any bearing? But who knows if it does NOT? No one knows what goes on in Judge Droney's mind except Judge Droney and he isn't telling…or moving along…or anything. Perhaps someone should hold a mirror under his nose!U.S. District Judges are paid $154,700 per year. That is a lot of money to a peon like myself. Americans have a right to demand return for their hard-earned dollars. We are NOT getting it here!Judge Droney's behavior is becoming so blatant that it is becoming very difficult to overlook it. There is an obvious bias and prejudice at work here. I want to know why and what is causing it. This case is not being held behind locked doors or in a vacuum; it is in a United States District Court. Americans have a right to demand accountability. There needs to be some explaining done here and soon.Ocwen victims have had to endure fifteen more months of being terrorized by their so-called servicing company. No telling how many have lost their homes during this period. No telling how many prescriptions for nerve pills have been written. This is NOT justice and I hope that all of the victims of Ocwen will look into matters. It is your right as an American. Do not take this anymore. Get the financial records; file complaints. Now you not only have to save yourselves from Ocwen, you have to save yourselves from a travesty of justice in a United States District Court! But, for those of you who “cut your legal teeth" fighting Ocwen, opposing this judge will not be a difficult matter in comparison.No one thought that the battle with Ocwen would be easy; a big “THANK YOU" to Judge C.F. Droney for making it twice as hard! You should be ashamed of yourself, Judge Droney, for falling flat on your face and making a farce of your duty and our court system.
