Document:
What should you do when a judge ignores your motions?
Bill Windsor is not an attorney, but he is a very experienced pro se litigant.
This is one of the questions that I get asked the most: What do I do because my judge is not ruling on my motions?"
Know that they do it because they are dishonest, corrupt, and/or dislike pro se parties.
I file motions trying to get judges to act. I file appeals. I file judicial misconduct compaints. I file motions to seek recusal or disqualification of the judge. I attempt to get criminal charges brought against the judges for obstruction of justice. But I am hated by dishonest and corrupt judges, so be careful.
I document everything. When I am in the same town as the courthouse, I hand-deliver my motions to the clerk of the court myself or use a courier service. Regardless of how you get your motions to the clerk, you want a receipt. I have recently learned that, at least in some states, the United States Postal Service is superior to hand delivery.
Document, document, document. Clerks will destroy or lose your filings on orders from a corrupt judge.
I print copies of the docket on a regular basis so I have proof of what the docket showed in case the clerk criminally alters the docket in the future.
I file motions politely requesting a hearing on my motions. When that is ignored, I file a less polite motion for order on my motion(s).
Court clerks are duty-bound to know the law and to docket and process the filings that they receive. This does not mean they do. My experience is that many court clerks are corrupt.
The key legal issue to know is this: Delivery of documents to the office of the clerk of the court constitutes filing.
The office of the clerk has no legal right to block the docketing of anything that is properly delivered to the clerk of the court. So, the mission is to ensure that your documents are delivered to the clerk. You can do this by mail, certified mail return receipt, Federal Express with a direct signature required, or by personal delivery. The method you use does matter. Use the United States Postal Service with tracking so you can prove when it was sent. If it is a really important filing, send it Express Mail with a delivery date guarantee. It is best to get a signature to prove delivery to and receipt by someone in the office of the clerk of the court, but proof that it was received from the U.S. Postal Service is sufficient. Case law provides benefits to using the mail that do not exist with FedEx, UPS, or a courier service. Hand delivering them yourself isn't best as it is awkward at best for you to get a signed receipt. It's easy if you use the postal service.
I always send a cover letter listing the precise documents that are being filed. That, the documents, and the signed receipt or proof of receipt PROVES filing.
If anyone interferes with the docketing of the documents received by the clerk's office, I consider that they have committed the crime of obstruction of justice, and I will attempt to get criminal charges against them with the District Attorney and the Grand Jury.
(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term "office" does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States."
I research the law using www.versuslaw.com. This is a low-cost online service that allows you to search all the court cases using Boolean logic. So, I can seach for precisely what I need. Versuslaw has help to explain Boolean logic if you don't know what it is or how to use it. The basic functions are and, or, and not. If you want to search for either recusal and disqualification, your search is (recusal) or (disqualification) because that will bring up uses of either word in a case. If you want to search for recusal and overruled, your search is (recusal) and (overruled) because that will bring up a list of cases where recusal and overruled were used in the same court decision. If you want to search for recusal and not overruled, your search is (recusal) and not (overruled) because that will bring up a list of cases where recusal and overruled were not used in the same court decision.
Understand that a judge does not have the option to ignore motions. Ruling on motions is a "ministerial act." It is a requirement of the judge's job.
I suspect the law will be the same in every state, so simply research your state's case law if you are in a state court. If you research your state, please send me what you come up with, and I will add the citations for the benefit of those in your state.
In 2010, I researched Georgia cases, and here are the citations that I found applicable.
United States v. Conlin, 551 F.2d 534 (2nd Cir. 03/17/1977); United States v. Claypoole, 227 F.2d 752 (3rd Cir. 12/07/1955); United States v. Donner, 497 F.2d 184 (7th Cir. 05/03/1974); United States v. May, 625 F.2d 186 (8th Cir. 05/30/1980); United States v. Salazar, 455 F.3d 1022 (9th Cir. 07/24/2006); United States v. Lang, No. 02-4075 (10th Cir. 04/21/2004). This case has some very good information -- United States v. Rosner, 352 F. Supp. 915 (S.D.N.Y. 12/14/1972). 18 U.S.C. § 2071 case Law Search Results from versuslaw.com.
