Walton was appointed administrator over an estate that allegedly ended up with approximately $4 million in unaccounted-for funds. Walton apparently received "numerous warnings from probate court and several continuances" before being suspended as administrator of the estate in January 2009. Judge Cadish held Walton in contempt when Walton failed to appear for a judgment debtor exam after being admonished multiple times.As an aside, what do you guys think is proper mugshot protocol for jailed attorneys - professional smile, or, as Mr. Walton went with here, silent rage?

He bears a striking resemblance to Dr. Conrad Murray. Don't you think?
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Dr. Harriston Bass.
ReplyDeleteAnywhoo, maybe he can be Dean of Boyd.
I was thinking a cross between Libo Agwara and Dipak Desai.
ReplyDelete$4 million missing? really?
ReplyDeleteSounds like one of two scenarios:
1) $4 mil exceeds the WWL rule of thumb (regarding the cost of law school vs. disbarment).
or
2) the estate, probably made up of land holdings, wasn't really worth the $4 mil that the beneficiaries/heirs thought it was worth.
Knowing Stan, my money's on number 2. But it looks like he ignored the court for a really long time. Bad form.

ReplyDeleteDefendants fight back against Righthaven copyright lawsuits
By Steve Green (contact)
Monday, Sept. 20, 2010 | 1:50 a.m.
Even as Las Vegas online copyright enforcement company Righthaven LLC continues to file new lawsuits, work appears to be piling up for its attorneys as additional defendants retain law firms to either fight back in court or represent them in settlement talks.
In what could be a showdown over Righthaven's lawsuit campaign, two attorneys for the San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation have signed on to represent the Democratic Underground LLC in one of the high-profile Righthaven lawsuits.

Al Sharpton is riding the wings of justice to Cadish's courtroom this very moment.
ReplyDeleteDream big, Reverend Al! Dream big!
ReplyDeleteTotal abuse of power to lock Stan up for 3 days.
ReplyDeleteHA HA HA.... A liberal who is a judge getting faced by Al Sharpton. Look out, I think Cadish could teach big Al a thing or two. LOCK IM UP!
ReplyDelete@1:59...to hear all your ilk it is always an abuse of power to lock someone up. The power is given for a reason and with over a year and 4 mil missing.....when exactly would you pull the trigger. Bed wetter.
ReplyDeleteYeah! A little time in the kitty can make for a pliable party. Meaow.
ReplyDeleteThis might not be the right time, but seriously, what happened to our friend Legally Unbound? I miss cracking on that guy/girl.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judge Cadish for keeping our community safe from a very dangerous 52-year-old lawyer. Since Metro keeps shooting suspects in lieu of arresting them, we have extra space at the jail, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThe punk asked for it. Besides, what's more erotic than a white jewish girl putting the cuffs on a big black guy. Vroom.
ReplyDeleteI believe LU wants to be a judge.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to RightHaven I hope the judges award $1 to every case that Mr. Gibson wins. Just give him a dollar and call it a day.
ReplyDeleteINMATE 1: "What you in for?"
ReplyDeleteINMATE 2: "Murder. You?"
INMATE 1: "Rape and kidnapping. What about you NEW FISH?"
WALTON: "I failed to appear for a judgment debtor exam."
I'm sure some find it reaaaaallllllly cool to get to throw people in jail, especially lawyers, but when you are a judge, cooler heads should generally prevail. The power to throw someone in jail is no substitute for the temperament and common sense not to. In our current system, where judges depend on attorneys for their campaign contributions, there are plenty of reasons to advocate restraint in the judicial imprisonment of legal counsel. Fines, mandatory education, referral to the Nevada bar, a judge has a very wide range of potential punishments. Issuing a no-bail bench warrant for a lawyer? That's not a sign of an incorrigible attorney. It's the sign of an inexperienced judge.
I disagree. Sometimes the bologna sandwich is the only way to go.

ReplyDeleteThis will go on forever.
How is Eglet doing with collecting that half a billion?
Awwww. . . Some of y'all young lawyers are scared of a little jail. In my day it was a point of pride to get tossed in the clink once in a while. Shows you're your own man. . . independent like. Suck it up.
ReplyDeleteAlso, 1:59pm and 4:00pm. You two are what we used to call poindexters. Quit being such a couple suck ups.
ReplyDeleteIn your day, if the judges threw you in jail, you could be sure you deserved it. The electoral process has ruined our judiciary, just like it ruins almost every other politician it touches. Luckily we can get back on the right track in November... Vote for appointed judges!! We need ONE BRANCH of government that doesn't look at poll numbers....
ReplyDelete@2:02 You want him locked up for a crime he is not charged with. Ever hear of due process you douchebag?
ReplyDeleteObviously not you civil turd.
civil turd
ReplyDeleteI'd like to know (1) what is a poindexter and (2) around what decade was that term actually used to describe people. I'm going with (1) dork and (2) 40s
ReplyDelete@2:02 You should stick to your area of expertise, fraudulent billing.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry. I do sincerely apologize. I did not realize y'all had such delicate sensibilities. There are poindexters here.
ReplyDeleteBy the way we used that term in the 60s where I'm from back east. Now I'm semi retired and spend my time harassing you young bucks. With that in mind y'all are a bit soft. Just saying.
That was NO poindexters
ReplyDelete@501
ReplyDeleteYou're a criminal turd. He was held in civil contempt by the express authority the Judge has.
Due process is not an issue here.
Frankly, the contempt power is used against attorneys far too rarely. Attorneys walk ALL over the judges in this town.
Ummmm due process is always an issue. Even if you're from back East (unless you meant China).
ReplyDeleteYes, due process is always an issue, even in matters I work on.
ReplyDeletesigned,
-one of them so-called "Civil Turds"
F.Y.I. regarding civil due process:
ReplyDeleteIf you, say, had a process server that was not serving summons and complaints, but was instead, lets say, trashing them and signing affidavits saying he was actually serving them, then you sir/madam, have a due process problem.
6:40. My only comments were regarding the softness of you younger attorneys. Never mentioned due process. Doesn't matter here. What I mean is you youngsters never been locked up for being a bulldog in the courtroom for client. Back east and down south in the 60s. Those boys played rough and you either had principles or not. Some went to jail, badge of honor I say. Not sure what Walter did, but it's good for him nonetheless. Toughen him up.
ReplyDeleteSorry I meant Walton
ReplyDeleteHey old guy, can we have white-only bathrooms again, too?
ReplyDelete@8:15 is wading knee-deep in bullshit.
ReplyDelete8:15 is a POS 1L at Boyd who just gone done with his Clarence Darrow reading assignment.
Great seeing you at Selma, bro.
Speaking of lawyers in jail, ask Joe Houston about the time he was remanded. He used his one phone call to buy the clerks pizza and have it delivered. The guy's a slime, but that story is fucking hilarious.
ReplyDeleteAwwww. . . 9:20 y'all are making me blush I do declare! It does smell a bit funny where I'm at. Hmm. . .
ReplyDeleteDue process...I suppose constant notice that "if you don't drag yo raggedy ass into court and I MEAN NOW I am going to lock you up!" is not sufficient for him to understand that not showing up will mean a short stay at the gray bar motel? Civil turd...wipe. Wipe real hard for once to clear out the crust.
ReplyDelete"Mystery Date" game TV commercial, early '60's (probably on "Beanie & Cecil"):
ReplyDelete"Will he be a PRINCE? (Ohhhhhh!) Or a POINDEXTER? (Ewwwwwwww!)"
Has anyone bothered to consider that this is not simply a case of a lawyer for somone or an entity being jaile? This guy was a party/fiduciary. Not an advocate. If parties do not show up in my cases when ordered/summoned, they get bench warrants and arrests every day. This is not even in the realm of what the discussion has portrayed to date.
ReplyDelete5:01 how do you give due process to a guy who will not show up in court? "We" go to jail if we don't show up. Justice does not mean just us!!!! lock him up with the other vipers...
ReplyDelete@ 11:03 - yes but the point still remains the same. It doesn't matter that he wasn't acting as a lawyer in regards to what he was held in contempt for....still, the underlying issue is that he is NOT threat to society, and with him being a lawyer, there were other less costly/more beneficial avenues available to the judge
ReplyDeleteHey old guy, can we have white-only bathrooms again, too?
ReplyDeleteThat would be retro cool. Or should I say "pointdexter."
@3:34 You act like removing dangerous people from the public is the only function of jail. I'm sure you learned in 1L crim that incarceration also serves as a deterrent and as punishment. Walton going to jail may encourage someone to show up for court when he or she wouldn't have otherwise. And maybe Walton deserved to be punished.
ReplyDeleteListen up 4:19, you half educated mongrel. It's RESTROOM when referring to public commode. Unless you are referring to the social arrangement at your personal boudoir it is whites only RESTROOM. Unless you are Turkish, homosexual, or a citizen of the Roman Empire there are no public baths.
ReplyDeleteNow as to your question. I would dislike that very much because I'm BLACK.
Old Guy
9:20 you still reading? Hmm. . . Still can't identify that smell.
My oh my, I hope not to share public baths with you, punk.
ReplyDeletexoxo
your favorite Roman Turkish Homo
Why hellooo, Justice Douglas!
ReplyDeleteOh god. The old guy offended someone by writing "homosexual." How about this one, fuck you faggot!! Quit being so fucking sensitive.
ReplyDeleteHATE SPEECH!!! This blog is filled with HATE SPEECH.
ReplyDeleteSick, horrible old man.
ReplyDeleteI don't know. Bath houses are synonymous with Turks, gays, and Romans. Is that supposed to be offensive? Though I think pretty much everyone says bathroom as a universal term for toilet public or not. Old guy is being a curmudgeon on that one.
ReplyDelete@3:34. This guy was flagerant in his disrespect for his obligations. At some point enough is enough. Just wait to see what the debtor exam reveals. There is a reason he has not been wahnting to show for that exam.
ReplyDeleteWith whatever happened to the amount of money in question, I doubt that not showing up and getting some jail time is the biggest of his problems.
ReplyDelete@9:17 - Stop screaming faggot you ignorant prick.
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the South Park episode "The F Word"
ReplyDeleteHilarious.
Yeah 9:17. You faggot!
ReplyDelete@5:01 - no sadly I do remember crim law 1L year, and yes, the purpose of a prison is to deter certain unwanted behavior. However, you are still missing my point. You can deter that behavior from Mr. Walton in other, more beneficial ways. A large sanction, community service, having to attend a state bar of nevada's 10hr CLE....
ReplyDeleteI would rather use the VERY limited space we have in CCDC or henderson or NLV to deter VIOLENT criminals whose actions can only be detered by physical restraint.
to put it simply, yes jail would probably do exactly what the judge wants to see, Walton's bahvior of missing court detered. However, there are just better more efficient ways to acheive that same objective
@5:23
ReplyDeleteYes several violent felons were not housed as a result of Walton sitting in jail. HE BLELONGED RIGHT THERE. Who says this dweeb even has money to pay...life is not all about revenue, though if you are a Lib IYKWIMAITYD, you think it is all about redistribution of the wealth. His incarceration was not about finding funding for the jail or the court. ti was about a condeuence solely by him for outright idiocy. I say it is a test drive and he will be haning with OJ asking for snicker's bars soon.
consequence*
ReplyDeletemy fingers move at a different speed when I get worked up.....
Your brain too. . . Dolt.
ReplyDeleteNow he's in more trouble
ReplyDeleteAs I said in my very first post, this turd has a lot more to worry about than a few days in jail....only difference is, I did not think his wrongdoing would spill into other cases....I probably should have assumed that from jump street!
ReplyDeleteSo, how do all you guys who cried for Walton feel now that he has sex with his client while taking 20k from her to invest in mexican bonds that have some fantasy level return and pays for a lexis and toyota out of his personal account with the funds....hmm? C'mon now.....you were all over there in the other thread bashing Cadish andsaying what a nice guy Walton is.......WOW....would hate to see who you think the bad guys are! And looks like the streets WERE a bit safer with him in jail. Securities fraud? I smell lots of jail in this loser's future!
ReplyDeleteStan is a cold blooded man if u can calk him that. He not only stole from widow/ friend but from children that lost a father. Stan is a con artist and one of the best.
