Comment #: SC38
Rating:1.0

Comments:
Judge Robertson violated SC Supreme Court Order, "Family Court Benchmark."

The Plaintiff abandoned the case and proceedings exceeded past 365 days. A valid dismissal without prejudice order was prepared and signed.

Later, a FAX request for new hearing was submitted by plaintiff's attorney. The fax was not in the form of a motion or new complaint and drafted AFTER the case was dismissed.

Robertson willfully Violated Supreme Court Orders when he scribbled these words on the fax: "This case shall be restored for good cause shown above, and rescheduled upon proper written request by counsel to be submitted by...(date) so ordered. WM Robertson"

There are no laws by which a judge can "RESTORE" a case that has a valid signed order of dismissed without prejudice. But Judge Roberson did it! He hand-wrote it on a FAX and thereafter enforced his new order.
