morning it is just a go ahead it is particularly on or for our court to have sitting again with us this year justice sandra day o'connor and for judge smith and powerless in the political process that duty in this case was abandoned by v jersey courts and they do not have sufficient process in place to make sure that people with litum is that correct in both iraq and both and it and it one was appointed in what the first or the second exactly once or and then the court what made the court decide to tell that person he no longer needed to serve as the guardian he ordered dr hankin psychiatric report and despite the fact that that says it roger will not be able to effectively in proportionately access the court system well no wait a minute we're at that is not says in fact i found this especially interesting about this which i read several times first of all the report makes clear that there was no evidence of a major psychiatric disorder those are dr hankins words but the very conclusion which you just perth raised in fact says i conclude with a reasonable degree of medical certainty that he cannot effectively and proportionately use the legal system to resolve his conflicts with his brother what does that mean i mean that among other things that the court system is good at it's not especially good at resolving family conflict is that what the document here i don't think so he was he was doing a psychiatric exam and my reading on what he did was he was being very judicious and he didn't have a lot of information he he said like a lot of judges do i've seen enough but the judge did appoint a guardian ad litem and it was after reading this report and after whatever observations the new jersey trial made something should be done especially since we have the inri m r case which makes us liable for ethics charges for the guardian and same time so if i have this correct he has there were two suits against the first one but his brother sued and that was resolved by one of the fall judgment yes and the second one was there an edge of an order entered against your client most certainly yes and with regard to the dismissal of the guardian was that done by an order or what it i have i have the docket like you do your honner in there in the pages here and i do not see that that there's an order of there isn't a lot of description i'm not clear on what it is that mr stone is seeking in this case having read the in allegations of error in the conduct of secret proceedings on the other hand some of the allegations seem to be an attack upon state policy or an assertion that the state lack policies so what is it well i can't remember the name of the case justice scalia wrote wrote an opinion i think it's about accessing library materials for prisoners and he said in there well you've got to prove that the that you would have not because to to prove that any judgment was wrong or needs to be overturned or anything but just to simply show constitutional standing that we allege that things would have been much dif if they had procedures in place to make sure that people get guardians or some kind of other helper it doesn't have to be an attorney there's a program called hazza which is appointment it was simply that the trial court made the determination right well wrong that the guardian italy terms services were no longer required based on his understanding of the condition of your client i mean isn't that actually what happened here wrong my understanding in that it is that the ministry of office of the courts in the state can be responsible for discriminatory orders of a judge john lennon george lane was told to get up the stairs or else he did it first on the second time and other order he was held in contempt it's clear there was an order and there was no problem suing the state my colleague who filed that case didn't even bother suing the judge who by the way passed way of about two years ago so when you're suing the state you're saying your policies are no good look at the look at what your your minions are having done here they're ordering people up the stairs there are there you know for they're not even engaging in an interactive process or anything referring people eight coordinator like the first judge which was their request for an interactive process here i think so when you know rogers rogers said he needed help and basically what he wanted was a guardian and then an attorney and he had the guardian the guardian was dismissed and i guess the attorney or whatever fees there were were his brother had a paragraph that is correct that's a separate case in new jersey so it went into jersey was there anything mentioned to the new jersey courts about the new jersey disability was not being complied with i doubt it i don't think has right that's part of the case know he he doesn't remember a lot of these because of his many medications and things you cite damages in your complaint what are they for well in i realized probably can't get the twenty six thousand dollars you know system by not helping him to have system doesn't treat people individuals treat people's particular ways i mean who specifically treated him with disrespect there there's no rules about have to handle the situation at all really there was a role for the the role that's in effect it doesn't really give any guidelines there's a couple of cases there's a why dispersal so it's it's the a o sees policies there are some judges who would not great job there are judges who wouldn't do anything and then there's judges like the second judge who tried to model through did a much better job but they don't have an understanding of because anything under partition or waste that he's actually asking the district court to deal with that's what the actions were in the state court level correct on the merits his brother was suing for waste and i think your honor this case is more akin to the tourist versus say of new jersey out of this court the circuit and that's five hundred federal a p x ninety eight issued in october to two thousand and twelve and in that case that plaintive also said that the judge's actions violated the idea in this court said that in that case specifically the idea of not required courts to provide legal counsel mean i've had some difficulty with this complaint because it to me it seems like there there may be two tracks or two tracks of allegations one of varying that there is a are there are certain policies that do not exist to certain policies followed by the state of new jersey which were not issues in the underlying two state actions on the other hand  about the appointment and an appointment of legal counsel the appointment this missile of the guardian ad litem of the treatment of mr stone by a trial judge during one of the proceedings which seem to me to sound more in state process and view issues for state appeal is that a fair way of looking characterizing this from point i agree your honor i did when i was looking at the complaint try to figure out what it was plentiful seeking and to the extent that it asserts some sort of process claims or policy claims i think that the complaint and the proposed many quite fail they it wrong that that puts you squarely under a fellow to say the judge got it wrong he should have either interchange his request or shouldn't have taken away the guardian light in the second case that would you squarely under a feldman to consider the complaint as raising policy claims it doesn't allege any facts to support such claims we don't know what policy challenging but he said in his argument just now some judges would have done  i think that's a conclusion he doesn't say any facts to support why judges would need training on to do what happens here that would result in a finding that they deserve training it would have to be a consideration of whether the judge improperly decided is motion for guardian ad li and maybe we can deal with some of the issues on the merits because of what first point is let's just take a procedures is there any private right of action regarding those procedures some courts have said yes some courts have said no i make a point of mentioning the rules and then say if these rules are not privately enforceable it's absolutely clear that they're absolutely essential for the  that this would they have to be right but wouldn't the new jersey law against this abilities cover everything that the a b a does and why would that suit be brought in new jersey we brought it as a against georgia and that's why we brought it in in federal court but i would like to agree with justice o'connor that i asked at the very end of the brief like if you're going to dismiss for hook or feldman sent you know send this back we'll take advantage of the thirty day refiling period like they did in a passable of the council that had some other name and it was up here that one of the plaintiffs dropped out but you said you know it's too much state stuff and  judge smith is talking about if you really feel that there's too much state involvement here we should let jersey watch wash its own dirty laundry you know i'm i'm not going to be upset about that that's a valid view it's just that you know we found that the new jersey chords are very retaliatory if nothing else that we really rather not go there they you know they've written threatening letters you know the ethics complaints that were helping meritless i mean various things that they've done and any engagement with them i'd rather avoid thank god i'm a tax attorney because i don't have to go to state court i just do this pro bono work here i'm serious you know i don't i don't really want to engage them and in the file you have the one letter that was written by the second in command at the a o c where she lost  apparently has i've been suing them too much or something if i can make a few substandard points you know this complaint is about lack of a t a i process there's two and there's  roger told them what happened and the guy said boy i'm going to write the judge an e mail that's just fortuitous but he apparently he says he wrote the judge an e mail and said i really think you ought to reinstate the guardian and you ought to think very seriously about about some kind of help which by the way doesn't have to be an attorney there's a he has a volunteers and everything it also has some of the same no notice requirements that the sixth circuit was upset about in it's kind of intimidating to go to a judge which is one of the other things in the complaint i mean if the judge turns you down for an eighty requests well you've got to do it you got to file a complaint against the judge that's really inappropriate and see statements doing it right please look at california's rule one point one hundred that that has totally ex parte pay court nader's and the judges are told this isn't your problem because i parole given somebody a lawyer maybe may be seen as improper i think that's what our jersey judges are worried about live there you know what to do because they don't want to help somebody get an ethics charge as far as the a b a procedures having no injury this whole case is because they didn't follow eighty eight procedures he's out his house and that's that's the way we see a case there that there's no procedures and
