My attorney, Randy Hess refused to try the case. Later Hess revealed that Grube was his former office mate. In 1982, I filed motions to set aside the bankruptcy court s orders based on extrinsic fraud and properly raised the federal question that our National Bankruptcy Law is unconstitutional. The constitutionality of vesting dual administrative and judicial duties in the bankruptcy judge has been argued outside the courts since 1930. Yet no lawyer had raised the issue in court.
Lawyers support our bankruptcy law, because it produces exorbitant legal fees.
These fees may be shared with the judge who approves them as reported when District Judge Albert Johnson forfeited all benefits and resigned rather than face impeachment. Acting for the Assignment Committee, Chief District Judge Robert Peckham, who appointed Judge Abrahams, assigned my appeals to District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel. She tyrannically affirmed the void orders of the bankruptcy court, falsely ruled the constitutional issue was not raised below and awarded favored parties legal fees and costs. However, Judge Abrahams was not reappointed. James Grube, who perpetrated frauds upon the court and connived against me to lose, was appointed Bankruptcy Judge.
