Poorly played in CIVIL ACTION NO. 3:25-cv-00417-HTW-LGI. The errors were beyond "clerical." The parties and public are due an explanation. It would be an easy matter to provide it, ackowledging error and addressing how to prevent it going forward. But instead we once again see that lifetime appointments serve as much to avoid accountability as to maintain judicial independence. No consequences and repercusions and what judge cares? In the absence of responsibility being taken, the parties and public should assume what is obvious: This judge simply delegated to his clerk and did not bother reading what went out. In short, he failed to do the job and then compounded it by failing to take responsibility for it. Shame on him.
