Rancho Santa Margarita, CA - I spoke to Public Affairs Spokesperson Gwen Vieau September 24, 2012 with a request for information about allegations of judicial misconduct in the Orange County California Small Claims Court System.
 |
The good news is that the General Counsel for the Superior Court of California County of Orange Jeff Wertheimer, quickly responded to my request and was gracious enough to treat my request pursuant to California Rules of Court Rule 10.500.
The bad news is that for whatever reason, Mr. Wertheimer’s response was dismissive, derisive, condescending and clearly not responsive.

But wait, there is more.
Mr.
Wertheimer primary excuse is budgetary constraint, even though
just some eight months ago or so, 52 hotel rooms were booked
at the San Francisco Holiday Inn for court officials from across California to
discuss the CCMS- Expense records for the conference show the AOC spent
$13,220.10 for the hotel, meals and airfares. Price tag for the CCMS is more
expensive than building the Space Shuttle Endeavor, which cost $1.7 billion
according to NASA!
What is more troubling is Mr. Wertheimer’s closing statement: “
For this reason, even if you were willing to pay the considerable cost of
generating the documentation, we are unable to provide you with the information
you are requesting,” which I take
it to mean: “while I bother to write you a response, it is simply to shut you
up, as I had no intention of being compliant with to California Rules of Court
Rule 10.500, in the first place”
So, for those interested in getting to the bottom of the
allegations of judicial misconduct in the Orange County Small Claims Court
System, based on Mr.
Wertheimer’s response, guess what
the next logical step may be?
