Worst Judge is Dennis Hall of Jefferson County Colorado division 5 he sentenced my son to 16yrs in Prison for a case from 2009 the case was unfair my son plead guilty to this case because he was coerced to pleaing to this deal or they will give him more years if he took this case to trial my son was not the shooter in this case they also did not have any evidence he shot at victim its just the victim says he did because the victim and my sons dad had an argument and my son and his dad have the same full name SR. and Jr. so the victim knew this and in order to get even with the dad he blames my son for shooting at him which we all know who the shooter is but no one wants to say my son is a good person has 3 little girls and at sentencing court the DA did not have all the facts in my sons case they did not do a new investigation they used same info that convicted his dad in his trial in 2009 they had no gun, no residue, did not question other 2 guys there and actually one of them was the shooter but they are no where to be found so basically my son is doing time for nothing the DA just wanted to get it over with and never really tried to get this case right we wrote letters to the judge and spoke at sentencing and this was a waste of time because judge said himself he has no heart he has to sentence according to the case no one hurt in this case and they lied about where the incident happened also the so called victim NOAH GRAF is a habitual criminal and is now serving time in prison for a recent crime spree my son has no criminal record. The DA could have offered a better deal for my son but she didnt take the time to review the case carefully and investigate so now my 3 young grandaughters have to live without they daddy for awhile it was hard for my son to take this deal cause he knows he did not do this and his dad did not speak up tell the truth he was sentenced back in 2009 to 40 yrs he thought he would win his trial he also is a habitual offender well I hope the judge sleeps good at night for the rest of his life knowing that he locked up an innocent man that has 3 young daughters who have to live with out him now and you read this mr hall yes its mr hall not your honor cause you are no one to honor i hope this haunts you til the day you die you are not true justice in Gods eyes you are the enemy you should of had a heart you chose the hear say lies of a convicted long time criminal NOAH GRAF whos name is all over the news for his crimes you chose him his lies to lock up my innocent son, a father, a husband, a good person who serves the lord with no criminal record WHY???

Today, the Colorado Judicial Performance Commission came out with the recommendations for retention of 129 judges. I was particularly interested in the recommendation of Chief Judge Carlos Seymour of Arapahoe County. Here is the link to his retention review:
http://www.coloradojudicialperformance.gov/retention.cfm?ret=1064
It is disheartening as the review indicates that a timely comment that I sent in was not considered even though it was sent to numerous persons associated with the Commission including the Commissioners themselves via the Court Administrator.
Below, please find my extensive comments as presented to the Commission:

COLORADO JUDICIAL PERFORMANCE COMMISSION
Public Comment concerning the retention of the 18th Judicial District Chief Justice
Carlos Armando Samour, Jr.

March 29, 2016
Due date: April 1, 2016
RE: Comment concerning Chief Judge Carlos Samour, Jr. for retention as judge in Colorado 18th Judicial District by the Colorado Judicial Performance Commission.
Submitted by:
Mr. Peter Coulter
151 Summer Street #654,
Morrison, Colorado, 80465.
Email: Coloradojudicialperformancereview@gmail.com
Location of Court:
Arapahoe County 18th Judicial District Court,
7325 South Potomac Street,
Centenial, Colorado 80112.
Date(s) of Interaction:
1. First time contacted, no response: July, 2014. Resent letter that was previously addressed to the past Chief Justice, William Sylvester concerning behavior and acts of Judge Pratt , Judge Cross, Magistrate Burns and Head Clerk Tammy Herivel and attorney G. Raymond Goodwin.
2. Second time contacted: August 2015. Concerning picketing and protest at the Arapahoe County Justice Center. Clerk gave us directive of Judge Samour that pickets were not allowed on Court grounds.
3. Third time contacted, no response: March, 2016. Again requesting permission to picket/protest on Arapahoe County Justice Center grounds pursuant to Federal Court Order that found identical directive, directly copied by Denver Chief Justice Michael Martinez, unconstitutional by Federal Court District Judge Martinez.

CITIZEN FEEDBACK
The Colorado Constitution, Article 6 [Judicial Department] Section 5 [Personnel of Court-Department-Chief Justice]; subsection 4 states as follows:
(4) The chief justice [of the Supreme Court] shall appoint from the district judges of each judicial district a chief judge to serve at the pleasure of the chief justice. A chief judge shall receive no additional salary by reason of holding such position. Each chief judge shall have and exercise such administrative powers over all judges of all courts within his district as may be delegated to him by the chief justice.
The protocol for all Chief District Court judges in Colorado states:
In addition to maintaining a docket, as chief judge, Samour will be responsible for appointing the district administrator, chief probation officer, and clerks of the court; assisting in the personnel, financial, and case-management duties of the district; and seeing that the business of the courts is conducted efficiently and effectively.
Judge Carlos Samour is the appointed Chief Justice of the 18th judicial district under Supreme Court Chief Justice Nancy Rice and as such is directly responsible for the actions of the judges and administration under his control and direction.
Previous survey results for retention of 62.18% have noted him for his knowledge of law and fairness but that is only 50% of his job. As Chief Justice, he also has an equal responsibility to make sure the 18th Judicial District and all of its’ actors are complying with the Constitution and laws of Colorado. That has not been done to the detriment of myself and hundreds if not thousands of other pro-se litigants. It is easy to uphold the Constitutional rights of lawyer represented civil and criminal clients. The challenge is making sure that civil pro-se litigant’s constitutional rights are equally protected by judges who have taken a solemn oath to do so. That is Judge Samour’s absolute responsibility as Chief Judge; to be vigilant and responsive to the unethical, submissive, and even criminal actions of actors of the 18th Judicial District of Colorado. Every example, good or bad, is set from the top. If Judge Samour allows these travesties, those under him will follow his lead knowing there is no accountability or recourse for their actions.
I have interacted with Judge Samour on 4 occasions:
1. Criminal removal of Jury Demands, Fees, Motions and Supreme Court Orders by Judge Pratt, Magistrate Burns and Head Clerk Tammy Herivel from official court files and therefore promoting Fraud on the Court. [July, 2014]
2. Unethical behavior of Judge Pratt, Judge Cross and Attorney G. Raymond Goodwin in the submittal of a non-ripe, fraudulent motion and subsequent granting by Judge Cross during half-time of the Super bowl Sunday. [July 2014]
3. Behavior and actions of Judge Fasing, and Public Administrator attorney Tamra Palmer and Jennifer Gromley in regard to continued abuses to fellow pro-se probate litigants resulting in the devastation of innocent families and loss of millions of dollars in estates.
4. Twice writing to Judge Samour about being able to protest our first amendment rights to free speech on the Court grounds in Centennial. The first time, we were sent a directive from Judge Samour’s office that there would not be any protesters allowed on the grounds and we had to protest out on the sidewalk. After a judge found that same directive [which was copied and used by Denver] to be unconstitutional, again I contacted his office to see if we could now protest on the grounds. There has been no response up until the date of this document and the directive is still in place.

The Judges and Administration under Chief Judge Samour have been allowed to run wild and commit criminal atrocities while under his watch. They are under his direct charge and responsibility. The 18th Judicial District has failed miserably under his example and he should not be retained for another 6 years to let this malfeasance continue while innocent pro-se civil litigants are being harmed on a daily basis by shameless judges and actors.
Thank you for your time and consideration in these important matters.
Sincerely,
/s/Peter Coulter

Mr. Jeff Roberts,

Again, it is the Chief Justices job to maintain control and decorum of all the judges under his/her watch. While he may have excelled in one criminal case for one litigant, he let hundreds, if not thousands of other litigants of other judges and court actors in his jurisdiction be abused without discretion. This is highlighted by the Judicial Performance Commission not being able to produce a single pro-se litigant survey for any judge in Colorado which results in complete bias and corruption of the system. I would ask you to join me to vote DO NOT RETAIN for Judge Samour.

Do Not Vote to retain Chief Denver District Court Judge Michael A. Martinez!!!!

He is biased, unfair, one-sided by monetary persuasions and tempermental!!!

He does not care about what’s right, what’s fair or what makes sense—only his delusional version of the law.

DISTURBING: Julie Kunce Field recently cut off ALL time between a mother and her young son for no good reason at all. Field said the living conditions weren’t good enough. That was nonsense. I personally saw this very mother and her son repeatedly throughout the previous months and the boy was very happy with his mother and clean and polite, etc. This is very, very disturbing. Julie Kunce Field is now a public enemy and should be considered very dangerous.

Magistrate Moss of the 18th judicial district in the Douglas County house is corrupt, unethical, and lacking in all integrity. She has overstepped her legal authority time after time and in our current case, she is in violation of several pursuant articles in order to drive a corrupt agenda as she is in the pocket of such legal groups as “Pickard & Ross”, or “Epstein law”. She gives orders and even when said orders are followed to a T, she approves contradictory orders to serve her political agenda to satisfy the pockets she’s in, also in part because of a lack of intelligence that she wears on her sleeve. I clearly know that she works for us, voted in by the people, something she clearly needs a firm reminding of. This woman needs incarceration, let alone to be stripped of any legal power. We have contacted the chief judge in the 18th judicial to look into this ego driven scumbag, contacted all local media outlets and push for this conduct to be pushed into the spotlight. We suggested a magistrate review.. her response, “knock yourselves out, I do my own reviews”‘. This type of egoic, above the law and total lack of integrity by any position of authority in any respected system, country or position of power, should know if they choose to abuse their power, they will be punished with no mercy and no sympathy. This woman destroys family’s and should be removed immediately and charged with any and all applicable crimes as well as sanctioning the law firms which she caters to on a daily basis while great loving people are torn apart from one another. This woman is a true disgrace and a part of a cancer that has hold of our justice system. She is souless and evil. Immediate action must be taken with the highest level of diligence.

Venue – Removal to Federal Court

Terms:

Removal:
Removal refers to the transfer of a civil action from state trial court to federal district court.

Notice of removal:
A notice of removal is signed by the defendants and filed in federal court to begin the process of transferring the civil action from state court to federal court.
In certain cases, the defendant may wish the case to be heard by a federal, rather than state, tribunal. Where a defendant in a state civil action wants to have the case heard by a federal tribunal, the defendant will seek to “remove” the case to federal court.

Sometimes, the federal district courts will have original jurisdiction over a civil action filed in state court. That is not to say that the case has been improperly filed in state court – it is only to say that the federal court is also be able to hear the case because it has original subject matter jurisdiction. In such a case, the defendant or defendants may remove the case to the federal district court for the district and division in which the action is pending.

To where does the case get removed? Generally, a case filed in state court will be removed to the federal court that has geographical jurisdiction encompassing the state court’s location. For example:

John brings a cause of action against Mike in New York Supreme Court in Westchester County. Assume that a federal court also has jurisdiction, both personal and subject matter, over the parties and the case. If Mike’s motion to remove the case to federal court is granted, the case will most likely be removed to United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in White Plains, New York.

Where the federal district courts have original jurisdiction over a civil action in state court that is not based on a federal claim (i.e., the court’s subject matter jurisdiction is based on diversity of citizenship), the action is removable to federal district court only if none of the defendants is a citizen of the state in which the action was brought. Of course, the defendants must be properly joined and served. Where the federal district courts have original jurisdiction over a civil action in state court because the action arises under federal law (i.e., the court’s subject matter jurisdiction is based on federal question jurisdiction), the case is removable, regardless of the citizenship or residence of the parties involved.

The original defendant(s) may remove the action to federal court. Whether a defendant to a counterclaim, crossclaim or third party action, etc. (who may be the plaintiff in the original action), may remove the case to federal court is another question. The majority of courts hold that such removal is not allowed. If an original defendant moves for removal, the counterclaims and crossclaims, etc., may end up being removed anyway.

Very often, plaintiffs will join multiple causes of action in one case filed in state court. In a case where the federal district court has original jurisdiction over some of the claims but not others, the entire case may be removed to federal court. This is similar to supplemental jurisdiction – the non-removable claims can go along with the removable claims. Once removed, the federal district court will either hear the entire case or, if it feels that the state court is the more appropriate forum for certain claims in which state law predominates, it will remand those claims to state court. See 28 U.S.C. § 1441(c).

An additional requirement to removal is that all of the defendants who are eligible for removal must sign the removal notice. For example:

John brings a cause of action against Mike and Mark in state court. Assume that a federal court also has jurisdiction, both personal and subject matter, over the parties and the case. Further assume that Mike and Mark qualify for removal. If Mike seeks to remove the case to federal court but Mark does not agree, the case may not be moved. If Mike qualifies for removal but Mark doesn’t qualify for removal, then Mark’s disagreement does not affect the initial decision about removal; it will be removed.

Just as fraudulently joining a party to create diversity of citizenship is not allowed, fraudulently joining a party to create a bar to removal to federal court is impermissible. If the joinder is legitimate, however, the bar to removal will stand.

Parties can agree to waive removal. If, in a contract, a clause exists that a particular claim will be litigated in state court, that claim will not be removed to federal court. For example:

Bill and Ted enter into a contract in which Bill agrees to buy 84 widgets from Ted. The last clause of the contract provides: “All claims arising under this contract must be heard by Idaho state court. No claim arising under this contract may be removed to federal court.” Bill files an action in state court against Ted. Ted files a notice of removal in federal district court. The federal district court will remand the case back to state court.

Some state civil actions are not removable. These include certain actions against a railroad or its receivers or trustees; certain actions against a carrier or its receivers or trustees to recover damages for delay, loss, or injury of shipments, unless the matter in controversy exceeds $10,000, exclusive of interest and costs; actions arising under a state’s workmen’s compensations laws; and actions arising under section 40302 of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. See 28 U.S.C. § 1445.

The procedures through which a defendant may remove the case to federal court are detailed, but fairly simple. Generally, defendants must file a notice of removal with the appropriate federal court within 30 days of receiving the summons and complaint. In addition to filing the notice, the defendant must include “a short and plain statement of the grounds for removal, together with a copy of all process, pleadings, and orders served upon such defendant or defendants in such action.” 28 U.S.C. § 1446(a). The filing of the notice creates automatic removal – the case is no longer under the jurisdiction of the state court. At this point, it is up to the appropriate federal court to determine whether the removal is proper, whether all claims are removable, etc. If need be, the court may remand either the entire case or certain claims back to state court. The case will not be dismissed for inappropriate removal; rather, the remedy is to remand it back to the state court.

As stated above, the defendant(s) has 30 days from receipt of the summons and complaint to file the notice of removal. If, however, the case is not removable at this point, but becomes removable later, because, for example, the plaintiff amends the complaint, the defendant will again have 30 days by which to file a notice of removal, beginning on the date that the amendment is filed.

After removal, a motion to remand the case based on any defect other than the lack of subject matter jurisdiction must be filed within 30 days after the filing of the notice of removal. A motion to remand based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction may be made, like in regular case procedure, at any time. The theory behind this is that once it has been determined that the court does not have the authority to hear a particular case, the case cannot continue. This is why the court may, on its own (sua sponte) remand the case (or dismiss it, in regular case situations) for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

Sometimes, after removal, the plaintiff will want to join additional defendants. Where doing so would destroy the federal court’s subject matter jurisdiction, the court has the power to either deny joinder, or permit joinder and to remand the action to state court.

RE: Magistrate Rebecca Moss Douglas County Colorado 2016/2017.
This magistrate needs to be removed from the bench. I encourage anyone who has had a questionable ruling from this person, which I can only assume there are many, to lodge a formal complaint with the Office of Attorney Regulation (as the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline is for judges only, which she is not). I concur with the bad hair comment above, as this reflects poorly on what is supposed to be proper decorum in a courtroom where decisions are made which impact the entirety of people’s lives. I concur with the bad courtroom personal conduct comment above, as this magistrate showed verbal disdain for my serious mental health condition and actually laughed out loud, and very loudly, when I was testifying to my symptoms. Furthermore, she emailed my attorney a ruling on another one of his cases during my hearing. Her “ruling” on my case did not follow the statutory law, but relied upon case law almost exclusively. She clearly had complete disdain and disregard for my mental health, for which I had a diagnosis and official medical records. I intend to sound off on this issue and this atrocious magistrate in all appropriate avenues. I encourage everyone else to do the same. Judges (and it seems magistrates) are running amuck in this country, as evidenced by what President Trump is experiencing as well. Really quite sickening. Magistrate Becky Moss financially ruined me, and I intend to let that be known everywhere.

Judge Kimberly Wood and Judge Pattie Swift are BOTH abominations and BOTH need to be voted out of office, investigated by the BAR/State and then impeached!

Our dinosaur media is too pathetic to care about what these ignorant trolls do to the family. Even the Colorado Council for Judicial Discipline could care less about Judge Wood sending men to be evaluated by her lesbian, anti-male wife, Tammie Obie.

The newest bit of news: it is purported, the Court has been ordering people to be ‘supervised’ at a State/County place called the San Juan Center and NONE OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CREDENTIALED BY THE STATE for years!

The 12th District in Colorado is run by homosexual activists that give the women everything unless the man has 100’s of hours of homosexual porn on his phone…if you’re this guy, you just won the Wood Lottery!!

My daughter recently went through a high conflict divorce and Judge Peter Michaelson ruled him as a parent alienate, granted both kids to live with him, ordered my daughter to pay $1041 a ,onto child support when she has been a stay at home mom for 6 years, has no job and he based her child support at 50,000 earnings. He gives primary custody to the parent alienate, who will not bring the child to reintegration therapy because he does not want them to have anything to do with their mother, of course so he can get that child support. This judge has no clue. Did not rule with complete guidelines as to settlement, ordered house to be sold. He left this wide open for more litigation more lawyers. What is a trial for when nothing gets resolved. He needs to be ousted from this position.

My name is Craig Buckley. I am a Longmont, CO homeowner who has been attacked, retaliated against, and terrorized by staggeringly corrupt Weld County District Court Chief Judge James F. Hartmann for the past six years. Through Court and administrative filings, transcripts, witness accounts, and the opinions of independent attorneys, and Colorado House Representative Jonathan Singer, I have proven commission of multiple felony acts by James Hartmann, serving no lawful purpose, and no purpose other than the preservation of his reputation and career. I caught Hartmann in commission of crime, and he has used his official position to destroy my life. I am compiling the evidence here: http://www.hartmannconspiracy.com

On September 12, 2017 Judge Margaret Billings Vela denied my minor son his Attorney to be present 3 times during a hearing by phone conference at Grand Mesa Youth Center

Gilpin County Court Judge, David C. Taylor, operates a unique “speed-trap” court. Local law enforcement officers are allowed, by Judge Taylor, to give speeding tickets in an RFI (radio frequency interference)-zone in Black Hawk, Colorado. The RFI-zone is created by not less than six large, neon-type casino billboards in the narrow valley where Black Hawk is located. According to test results from police radar experts such as Paul Buse, such an RFI-zone will cause police radar to show a vehicle going 10 to 20 mph faster that it is actually travelling. A Trooper gave me a ticket for a false claim of my going 44 mph in a 30 mph zone in this RFI area, when I was actually traveling at 29 mph.

Judge Taylor had his Court Clerk play deception games about the date of my hearing when I appealed the above said ticket. As a result, I did not know the correct date of my hearing and was not present for that reason. My absence allowed Judge Taylor to make a default ruling that is almost impossible to appeal in higher courts since evidence is seldom considered on a default ruling. The fine and court cost for this ticket now exceed $350.00.
My appeal of this ticket has continued, but that did not stop Judge Taylor from ordering the cancellation of my Colorado Driver License and he has threatened to put me in jail if I did not pay this fabricated fine immediately.

I am a former GS-14 CIA Special Operations Officer, and I travel to provide unique training to new special operations officers who will soon risk their lives to help defend our freedoms and all of us. I need my Colorado Driver License restored to facilitate travel in support of these efforts. Judge Taylor is “pissed” that I have exposed his “speed-trap” court, and may not be willing to order my Colorado Driver License restored even if I now pay the full fabricated fine. Over the last five decades I have lived and worked in 42 developing nations. During that time, I did not experience a court system more corrupt than Judge Taylor’s court. Welcome to friendly Colorado.

Needs to be removed from the bench!

Here is a Judge Morris B Hoffman case mentioned in the Denver Post. https://www.denverpost.com/2018/04/20/larry-castle-foreclosure-price-gouging/

Commentary in the Denver Post by Judge Morris B Hoffman. https://www.denverpost.com/2014/11/14/too-many-prison-inmates-its-not-so-simple/

JUDGE MICHAEL SPEAR should NOT be retained. In addition to the trauma that the divorce of parents has on (many) children, Spear’s Permanent Orders were DEVASTATING to my child’s well-being. Here are just a few significant facts from Judge Spear’s courtroom and orders, and our divorce case, and their residual effect on my child, and I. I am divorced from a man that lied and deceived throughout the divorce process at an astonishing level. Including, during his time on the stand (especially in Spear’s courtroom), and significantly on ALL of his Sworn Financial Statements, to lower the Child Support amount, and lies with so much more; as well as sending me an UNFORGETTABLE and eye-opening email that read, “How’s your God thing working for you now?”. Among many other disastrous rulings by Judge Spear, one was the 50/50 Parenting Time. At Temporary Court, we had a Magistrate order a Child Family Investigator. The findings should have been helpful for our child, and also an exhibit, representing over 1.5 years of (the father) relinquishing or forfeiting about half of his Parenting Time; i.e. no shows, following Temporary Orders. Neither were helpful. Additionally, Spear’s Permanent Orders were NOT equitable with marital assets and attorney fees, and no alimony (though 19 of my years included a devotion to the support and growth of my husband’s career, and our companies). The orders devastated me financially. The parent that Spear’s Permanent Orders showed favor to, (because it was clearly not in the child’s best interest or favor), well, that parent refused to move out of my one (1) court ordered home, and into one of his two (2) court ordered homes, UNTIL, I took him to court. Months later, and half of an hour before going into the courtroom, he gave me the deed and keys to my one (1) court ordered house. Fast forward farther, within just a few years from those Perm. Orders… that same parent that Spear’s Orders showed favor to, continued to relinquish and forfeit a large percentage of his Parenting Time. Then, he actually moved our middle(!) school child out of his and the girlfriend’s house, with ALL of his belongings, DURING HIS Parenting Time, driving our child 25 miles to me at my place of employment, and WHILE I’m working, and without any prior communication to me. He COMPLETELY kicked our kid out of the house. MORE TRAUMA to our child from his father, it’s continual, AND never stops. Of absolutely no help… Judge Spear’s Permanent Court orders that were HORRIBLE FOR OUR CHILD, and orders that were horrible for the parent that has ALWAYS actively been a parent, me. The court system in that courtroom with Judge Spear was broken for my child. How is my God thing working for me now? My child’s father isn’t ever going to “crush me”, as he put it to me one day, and I will NEVER stop praying for my child, and I think it’s the right thing to do to share with you some of my experience, and my child’s experience, related to Judge Spear. Do you want a judge that will traumatize your child more, with his rulings?
