| 27th of Apr, 2015 by Private Investigator |
New Jersey has a well established reputation for official corruption. N.J. and official corruption are remain synonymous. Like the jokes about Turkish prisons, those about N.J. officials are based in large measure upon documentable historical fact.
You name the town, and there are more than 540, agency or office, interview those who have interacted with or been required to conduct official business with them, or conduct a modest search the public record long enough, you're going to find evidence corruption.
While official corruption was not invented in Trenton, the state's capital, many of its office holders who grew up there came to study, embrace, practice it like a religion. It was a means to and end, a validated way to get what you wanted. While the offices infected by corruption remained the same, the cast of corrupt officials continues to grow - mayors, members of city counsel, police, meter maids, JUDGES and even the dog catcher. The children of senior court officials engaged in murder, narcotics trafficking and prostitution.
Take for example the Honorable F. Patrick McManimon, of Mercer County New Jersey's Superior Court. Failed attorney when in private practice, detested long hours, stress of dealing with his dwindling clientele, clients whom he had to answer to, questioning his diligence unable to pay him what he thought his time and work product were worth. Clients paid by check and credit card, rather than cash which really pissed him off.
Years of pent up frustration, series of personal failures gnawing at him, having to grovel to judges before whom he and his pathetic clients were compelled to appear, and the changing demographcs of Trenton each took their toll. McManimon figured that he needed a daddy and daddy at the county was, for a fee, hiring. There was the written application supplemented by the requisite oversized evenlope stuffed with well, you get the idea ...
So McManimon bought himself a life pension through a 9am to 4pm (often leaving earlier), extended lunch breaks, holidays off, modest stacks of granted, denied check box forms, supplemented by paid vacations. It was a far cry from his minimalist approach he took with his clients off the street, race to prepare file motions and briefs, complete deposit slips and deposit check payments at the local bank.
McManimon wears his pschological scars rather funny. He overtly favors litigants represented by the same attorneys who talk so openly and disparagingly behind his back about his litany of ethical and legal competency shortcomings. Some as far south as Gloucester County (3 counties away) refer to him as a punk, street smart thug who, although exposed for a time to a Catholic education, one who never forgot the streets he came from, lamenting the missed pleasures of stealing lunch money and books from fellow students.
Like an attorney arguing the wrong side of a case, as often as McManimon found himself doing in private practice, he has a few unwritten policies now, as judge, which those appearing before him ought to know about and with any attentiveness at all in his court room, will no doubt observe:
1. Case settlement checks addressed to the prevailing litigant and sent via commercial courier (with a traceable commercial tracking number) to the court, air bill addressed specifically to McManimon, for the court's notation in the docket file of payment in settlement of a case for forwarding by him to said litigant are .... kept by McManimon!!!
McManimon, neither forwards, nor returns litigant settlement checks. McManimon keeps (steals) litigant. settlement checks. In point of fact, McManimon does not notify the sending litigant, McManimon issues arrest warrants for litigants several weeks after receiving their settlement checks, as a result of said `litigant not having sent the check' in spite of multiple courier employee witnesses who verify conveyance.
McManimon lies to police about ever having received such a check, in spite of the fact that the courier air bill information reflects it being addressedto him personally at the Court House, the court's acceptance via dated signature of his immediate subordinate, and his court clerk confirms telephonically to the sending litigant that both the evelope, air bill, enclosed settlement check and cover letter were all handed to is boss, McManimon.
2. What specific instruction does McManimon give his law clerks when litigants who sent settlement checks and court filings for enclosure and notation in the dockect - `neither confirm, nor deny receipt of it,' `under no circumstances provide a date specific when it was received,' or handed to McManimon. `Don't return the litigant's calls.' `Don't answer the litigant's questions.' `Don't confirm anything.' `Tell them I'm on vacation.'
3. McManinom lies alot. He was after all, an attorney. McManimon lies both to police and the State judicial ethics board regarding his misconduct. This childhood skill, learned in the home, practiced in and around the hood, practiced and refined overtly as an attorney and shamelessly polished while on the bench has and continues to serve him well. And for those reasons litigans appearing before him have no basis upon which to trust him. Fact that he is sitting on the bench for those few hours each week, comforts us, the public, that he isn't breaking into our homes, abusing our children, or burning down some prominent public building.
4. When frustrated on the bench, as McManimon often is, watch and listen to what comes out of his mouth. McManimon often belches out a four letter expletive, a manifestation of what came natural to him, both within the home as a child and his days as a local street punk.
5. McManimon overtly favors those litigants represented by an attorney, is overtly condescending towards and abusive of those who are not. Merits of a pro se litigant's argument mean nothing to him, are assessed no weight and dismissed as though never uttered.
According to attorneys who have appeared before him and we interviewed for this report advise that McManimon's inappropriate, bias laden opinions are less likely to be successfully appealed by a pro se litigant and pro se litigants rarely prepare and file effective ethics complaints against corrupt judges like McManinom. McManimon learned on the street, just do the math. Piss of a pro se petitioner who is in the right, but not likely to take the time and expend the effort to prepare and file an effective ethics complaint, or a represented litigant against whom the evidence compels an adverse decision, but whose attorney knows how, where and when to bite back?
6. McManimon often directs overtly biased, unethical comments toward pro se litigants, irrespective of the fact that the hearing was relatively short. While McManimon may offer a pro forma (obviously superficial and insincere) apology. McManimon does it only to cover his ass on the record, lest an offended litigant file, either a well founded ethics complaint against him, and/or meritorious appeal at least in part because of it. In point of fact, the only thing McManimon is sincere about is his insincerity. This phenomenon is particularly common among alcoholics. Fact that any adult is incapable, either on, or off a judicial record, of maintaining a civl tongue, ethical and professional demeanor for as few as thirty (30) consecutive minutes, makes it apparent that McManimon is a head case, unfit to sit in judgement or anyone, either on, or off the bench.
7. McManimon is quoted as having stated on the record that he `doesn't care who is and is not licensed to practice law in the state of New Jersey, who is and is not on the state's attorney ineligible list,' in fact an astonishing admission particularly given that it is made on the record. McManimon, together with every other state judge receives regular periodic updates via email identifying which attorneys, previously admitted to the N.J. State Bar, are prohibited from practicing law in any N.J. run courts. McManimon claims that he does NOT read them and that they mean nothing to him.
8. As a matter of personal preference and routine, McManimon engages in obnoxious conduct against disfavored litigants on the record. McManimon makes litigants aware, in so many words, that he plans on calling it an early day and that he intends to beat the rush hour traffic after leaving the building. McManimon overtly and aggressively expurgates (cuts short) the testimony of disfavored pro se litigants, to their calculated detriment. McManimon wants every pro se litigant to know that the mere fact that they failed to hire an attorney renders them a source irritation to him and he intends to abuse you deny you the benefit of every right which you are unaware that you have, and/or those you are familiar with, but lack experience invoking.
9. McManimon overtly and unethically provides favored attorneys appearing before him, and by extension their clients, substantive legal advice, on the record. Phrases like `Don't say that!!!' `Take a moment to cite another precedent!!!' `This case is yours to lose!!!' and others are but a few we found.
10. McManimon cuts off, interrupts and prevents disfavored litigants the opportunity to testify consistent with their oath to tell the truth. We found a case where one litigant purposely, aggressively and repeatedly stepped upon the testimony of a pro se litigant in order to deny that litigant a record upon which to base an appeal. Albeit McManimon criticized the offending attorney/litigant for this and found them to be acting obnoxiously, McManimon then immediately adopt the same unethical tactic which he condemned as being obnoxious behavior and proceeded to prevent the disfavored pro se litigant from testifying.
11. McManimon does NOT guarantee pro se defendants their right to provide a final, closing summary, which is in fact their right. This practice by McManimon is done to the calculated detriment of the recorded record in order to deny that individual the basis for an effective appeal. This misconduct constitutes an artifact of inappropriate bias and spite against the pro se litigant for having failed to know and invoke their rights generally, hire an attorney in particular. McManimon, neither respects, nor enforces the laws regarding litigant rights, nor civil procedure consistent with that mandated by the N.J. Supreme Court.
12. When McManimon's favored (represented) litigant who, just happens to be an attorney, engages in evidence tampering (cut and paste over sections of emails and then withholds the senders attachments to same) and the unfavored pro se litigant catches that attorney/litigant doing hit, references it on the record as such, in fact a criminal offense for which said attorney/litigant can be disbarred, as a matter of policy and routine, rather than McManimon retain evidence of a criminal act, he returns the altered evidence back to the offending attorney/litigant, for the purpose of shielding them from an ethics complaint and being disbarred. McManimon does not respect the law prohibiting evidence tampering, in part, because we caught him engaged in that same conduct in context of stealing a claim settlement check and lying to law enforcement.
13. McManimon also instructed his court clerks to refuse to accept Motions to Reopen and evidentiary submissions from disfavored litigants attempting to file same within the time permitted by law. We have several witnesses to this practice.
14. McManimon permits perjury and fraudulent concealment by attorneys and favored litigants in his courtroom. McManimon does not respect or enforce the laws criminalizing, either perjury, or fraudulent concealment. McManimon's court room is a `NO LAW APPLIES ZONE.'
15. McManimon, neither respects, nor enforces the law governing jurisdiction. McManimon hears cases irresepective of whether or not he and his court (Mercer County) has jurisdiction over them. We found cases in which the defendant both resided and for several years had been conducting business exclusively from another county, a fact which the defendant argued on the record, but which McManimon refused to respect, together with the laws governing jurisdiction. When argued by those litigants, McManimon insisted upon trying the case, apparently out of boredom and/or to meet the `cute' females who filed the case. From their conduct in the court room on the record, it was apparent that they came armed with and were well experienced in the use of knee pads. Not getting it at home, it was apparent from the record and a number of his unethical comments that McManimon was a willing buyer to whom ever was willing to sell it to him.
McManimon has been and remains under investigation for theft of official court filings and a litigant's court ordered settlement check.
Albeit McManimon took an oath to uphold the laws of the State of New Jersey, he is in fact a criminal masquerarding as a judge where, as a matter of personal preference and routine, he betrays the public trust.
In short, McManimon belongs in prison.
McManimon should be disbarred, disrobed, he, his mouth and ethics returned to the streets of Trenton where he got them.
ETHICS COMPLAINTS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED
If you have a case scheduled on McManimon's docket, be prepared to file an ethics complaint against McManimon. His mouth and antics will provide you with more than sufficient evidence, on the record, upon which to base your ethics complaint. The one thing a criminal like McManimon can NOT stand are the concepts of `RECORD' and `PLAY.' Much of McManimon's third world judicial and criminal conduct is acted out on the record. Make certain to obtain and diligently examine a copy of the hearing tape. Purchase and diligently study content of the hearing transcript also. McManimon's good work on the public record deserves the public scrutiny and scorn he so richly deserves.
