"Judge asks state's high court to block case against him"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Judge asks state's high court to block case against him": Last Wednesday, The St. Petersburg Times published an article that begins, "Attorneys for 1st District Court of Appeal Judge Michael E. Allen on Tuesday asked the Florida Supreme Court to block the Judicial Qualifications Commission from proceeding against him. It marks the first time a judge has asked the high court to step in and stop the JQC. Allen's attorney, Bruce Rogow, said the unprecedented step is called for because what the JQC is doing to Allen itself is unprecedented."

And The News-Press of Fort Myers, Florida reported last week that "Judge asks state justices to throw out disciplinary proceeding."

You can access the judge's Quo Warranto Petition, filed last Tuesday in the Supreme Court of Florida, at this link. And on Friday of last week, Florida's highest court ordered that a response be filed.

I discussed this case in the May 14, 2007 installment of my "On Appeal" column for law.com, headlined "When Should a Judge Face Discipline for What an Opinion Says?"
