Dear Members of the Commission,
I am submitting this formal complaint against Judge Matt Alan Selby, presiding in Stone County Missouri, for violations of judicial conduct that have resulted in a denial of due process and have significantly undermined the integrity of the judiciary. The actions of Judge Matt Alan Selby demonstrate a willful and persistent failure to perform duties, a violation of the Code of Judicial Conduct, and conduct that brings the judiciary into disrepute.
Case No. 24SN-DR00104
Allegations of Judicial "Misconduct":
Willful Failure to Perform Duties & Due Process Violations
Judge Matt Alan Selby has systematically ignored and refused to rule on numerous motions that were properly filed and served.
This refusal to address critical legal matters has directly prejudiced my case and deprived me of my constitutional right to a fair hearing.
Bias and Unequal Treatment of Litigants
The judge has demonstrated a pattern of favoring the opposing party, including responding to their informal communications while refusing to address my formal filings.
In one instance, the judge ignored my submitted physical evidence, refused to accept it, then ruled in the opposing counsel's favor because he had to pick his kids up from school.
Failure to Adhere to Court Procedures & Judicial Ethics
The judge has acted in contravention of judicial standards by failing to issue written orders on key matters, making it impossible to properly appeal rulings.
The judge has permitted opposing counsel to violate procedural rules without consequence while holding me, as a pro se litigant, to a different standard.
Conduct Bringing the Judiciary into Disrepute
The judge�s refusal to rule on properly submitted filings, coupled with apparent bias, has created the appearance of impropriety and diminished public confidence
