Transcript of Murphy_Renee Haugerud_aka Lauree Smith_June 26, 2014 Motion to Disqualify Judge Baldwin w Att
IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF COWETA COUNTY STATE OF GEORGIA
John Harold Murphy, Plaintiff vs. Civil Action No. 12V-413
Nancy Michelle Murphy, Defendant/Third Party Plaintiff
vs. Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, Third Party Defendant
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Motion for Disqualification of Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr.
1. Before undertaking the duties of his authority as a Superior Court Judge, A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. as provided by OCGA § 15-6-6 swore as follows.
"I swear that I will administer justice without respect to person and do equal rights to the poor and the rich and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent on me as judge of the superior courts of this state, according to the best of my ability and understanding, and agreeably to the laws and Constitution of this state and the Constitution of the United States. So help me God."
1.1 In addition to Judge Baldwin’s professed allegiance to the laws and
Constitution of this state and Constitution of the United States, Judge
Baldwin recently stood in the pulpit of his church and professed allegiance
to a higher degree of morality that he tacitly urged others to maintain.
1.1.1 Judge Baldwin either has an absence of commitment to the lesser
standards of morality than those he tacitly espouses in church, that are
protected by the Constitution of this state and Constitution of the United
States, and/or he interprets these constitutional doctrines differently than the
highest courts of the United States.
1.1.2 On Thursday, June 19, 2014, Judge Baldwin, via e-mail to counsel
for Michelle Murphy, sought concessions from Michelle Murphy in order
to save Nan Freeman attorney fees. This conduct initiates the continuum of
disqualification motions brought against Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr.,
each of which relate to his being selected by the Taylor Drake/Glover &
Davis lawyers.
1.1.3 Much as the Pied Piper amassed a troop, Judge Baldwin has amassed
a troop; Judge Baldwin’s weakness in breaking with the Taylor
Drake/Glover and Davis lawyers justice-for-money litigation tactics. Judge
Baldwin came within one witness of learning the truth about Elizabeth King,
the so called “custody evaluator’s” spoliation of evidence, illegal testimony
conduct and the absence of any ability of Elizabeth King to perform any test
that provides any information about the false assertion about fondling. There
is also information that can be provided about the conduct of Renee L.
Haugerud taking one of the children to a nude beach when he was 9 years
old and about Renee L. Haugerud’s payment of $60 per hour for Thomas
Murphy to rub her feet.
1.1.4 Judge Baldwin, on May 27, 2014, had all of the witnesses in the
courtroom who could have presented the highest and best evidence of the
legal issues that should have been decided.
1.1.5 Rather than using the best system of justice in the world to resolve
the issues, Judge Baldwin decided to succumb to the Taylor
Drake/Glover & financial trap that Michelle Murphy cannot afford.
1.2 After Judge Baldwin, on May 27, 2014, engaged in a temper tantrum, Page 2 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
yelling pronouncement of his planned judicial decision for temporary
custody as punishment for Michelle Murphy, counsel began attempting to
obtain an audio recording of the pronouncement following Judge Baldwin’s
unconstitutional denial of Michelle Murphy’s opportunity to present
evidence in her defense to the accusations against her.
1.2.1 The Orders of Judge Baldwin, obtained without allowing Michelle
Murphy to present evidence, publically, unjustifiably and illegally slander
Michelle Murphy.
1.2.2. The public is entitled to hear the full emotional temper tantrum of
Judge Baldwin as exposed with the audio recording that is a public record.
1.2.3 Counsel for Michelle Murphy, after Judge Baldwin’s temper
tantrum, yelling conduct approached the court reporter, Nan Freeman, in an
attempt to obtain a copy of the audio recording. Nan Freeman refused to
allow counsel to purchase a copy of the recording.
1.2.4 Counsel for Michelle Murphy informed Nan Freeman that if she did
not make a copy of the audio recording available that he would bring an
action against her. This is the constitutional system that our government
uses for persons to resolve disputes, if they cannot resolve their disputes
otherwise. If Nan Freeman has a legal defense, she is entitled to present
these defenses to a court. Unlike the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers
and Judge Baldwin, counsel for Michelle will advocate for Nan Freeman to
present each of her witnesses to a jury including Judge Baldwin.
1.2.5 Rather than adhering to our constitutional system, Judge Baldwin,
much the same as the Taylor Drake/Glover and Davis lawyers use their
political muscle with Judge Baldwin, attempted to use the power of his
position as judge that controls the lives of Jack Murphy, age 15 and Thomas Page 3 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Murphy, age 13, to assist Nan Freeman in obtaining assistance outside the
boundaries of the constitutional court system, much like Judge Jack Kirby
used his position to suggest counsel for John Murphy.
1.2.6 If a person on the street, or Nan Freeman, had made the request that
Judge Baldwin made of counsel on behalf of Nan Freeman, this would have
been legal and ethical conduct.
1.2.7 The e-mail from Judge Baldwin to counsel for Michelle Murphy
documents the second ex parte communication of Nan Freeman with Judge
Baldwin relating to the preservation of the record of issues in this case.
1.2.7.1 The first ex parte communication involved the refusal of Judge
Baldwin to allow the take down of the call of the calendar for the
preservation of a record of judge shopping and judge selection of cases,
in violation of Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1.
1.2.8 It is when the person with the authority of a judge who makes such
request to a lawyer who has a pending case involving the purely
discretionary authority of the judge who seeks to advocate for a person that
it violates the Holy Grail of our system of justice.
1.2.9 The e-mail seeking assistance for Nan Freeman follows.
Page 4 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Counsel for Michelle politely responded to Judge Baldwin as follows.
Page 5 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Page 6 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
1.2.10 The chain e-mails relating to Nan Freeman are included as
Attachment 120.
1.2.11 Counsel for Michelle Murphy discontinued responding to the e-
mails when from Judge Baldwin ask what was counsel for Michelle Murphy
going to do with the audio recording.
1.3 Judge Baldwin is charged with adhering to the following aspects of
the law that are highly relevant to his misconduct in this litigation.
1.3.1 Judge Baldwin violates The Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct
1.3.1.1 The Preamble to the Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct begins Page 7 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
as follows. PREAMBLE
1.3.2 Judge Baldwin violates the Uniform Superior Court Rules
1.3.3 The bias of Judge Baldwin has reached the point that he no longer
even makes the pretense of being fair. It is actually dangerous for counsel
for Michelle Murphy to appear before Judge Baldwin with him getting
“mad” and engaging in untoward, irrational, retaliatory conduct to Michelle
Murphy and counsel for attempting to exercise the statutory and
constitutional rights of Michelle Murphy and her counsel Larry King and
Millard Farmer.
1.3.4 Judge Baldwin has ceased being a judicial officer who provides
either Michelle Murphy or her counsel, Larry King and Millard Farmer their
statutory and constitutional protections, as Judge Baldwin has succumb to
acting only as a defiant violator of the law.
1.3.5 This motion to disqualify Judge Baldwin and the corresponding
preparation for the May 27, 2014 hearing is required to protect, as much as
possible, Michelle Murphy, Jack Murphy, age 15, and Thomas Murphy,
age 13, and their counsel, Larry King and Millard Farmer from the further
consequences of the collectively motivated illegal conduct of Judge
Baldwin and the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers. Page 8 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
1.3.6 This motion to Disqualify Judge Baldwin is timely filed within five
(5) days receiving the e-mail advocating for Nan Freeman.
1.3.6.1 In spite of illegal conduct, of Judge Baldwin conducting the
hearing without personal jurisdiction, as pled by counsel form Michelle
Murphy before the May 27, 2014 hearings and before the previous
hearings Michelle Murphy attempted to present evidence at the
May 27, 2014 hearing that Judge Baldwin would not allow before even
learning about the evidence.
1.3.6.2 Judge Baldwin began his temper tantrum without even allow
counsel for Michelle Murphy to present her testimony.
1.3.7 In understanding the modus operandi of Judge A. Quillian Baldwin
in this case and his reliance upon the Glover & Davis lawyers rather than
the law to make decisions it is necessary to understand how A. Quillian
Baldwin, Jr. has addressed the deprivation of constitutional rights during his
professional career. After becoming a lawyer and while practicing law in
Troup County, there was a unconstitutional representation of women and
African American person on the juries of Troup County, he never brought
actions to constitutionally correct the disparities in the juries, he never
brought actions to provide indigent people adequate counsel. The juries
were unconstitutionally skewed, the representation of indigent person was
skewed. This is the same conduct of the Glover & Davis lawyers.
1.3.7.1 Judge Baldwin has never laid eyes on Renee L. Haugerud, the
person who finances this litigation. Judge Baldwin’s perception of
Renee L. Haugerud is skewed because of her representation of the Taylor
Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers whose biases are skewed just as the
unconstitutional biases of Judge A. Quillian Baldwin. Page 9 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
1.3.8 Renee L. Haugerud was a party to this case until the remittitur
was returned from the Court of Appeals to this Court on May 13, 2014.
She is still a relevant witness
1.3.8.1 Judge Baldwin with a challenged unconstitutional Order
attempts to require Michelle Murphy to spend large sums of money to
present evidence about the spoliation of evidence illegal conduct of
Elizabeth King, if she does not provide counsel for this information that
could have been obtained from her at the May 27, 2014 hearing, if Judge
Baldwin had permitted her testimony while she was in the courtroom in
the witness room.
1.3.8.2 This “custody evaluator” process that Tony Johnson and Patricia
Nice suggested was designed to perpetuate their pill mill/interrogation
conduct that John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud were
financing.
1.3.8.3 The large question is, did the children go to dogs without their
academic doping and interrogation sessions?
1.3.8.4 It will be interesting to hear the treatment that are prescribed
for Judge Baldwin by a “Judge Evaluator.”
1.3.8.5 Michelle Murphy is being required by Judge Baldwin to lose
thousands of dollars in potential income for loss of time at work and to
travel hundreds of miles round trip outside the Coweta Judicial Circuit
for an examination by a custody evaluator whom she can become liable
for tens of thousands of dollars to finance. The so called “test” of
Elizabeth cannot prove or disprove anything about the issue that Judge
Baldwin states is his concern.
Page 10 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
1.3.8.6 The skewed judgment of Judge Baldwin is no different in
making such a decision than the skewed judgment of Judge Baldwin
during his practice of law about other unconstitutional triers of fact in the
Coweta Judicial Circuit albeit that these trier of fact may be selected from
an unconstitutional jury composition, or his recent view about an illegal
judge shopping process that violates Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1
case management mandate.
1.3.8.7 Judge Baldwin, despite the false statement in his Order denying
his disqualification was hand selected from an illegal Uniform Superior
Court Rule 3.1 case management plan. Judge Baldwin knew, if he is
capable of being a judge in the case, that the Coweta Judicial Circuit did
not comply with the Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1 case management
plan as he was Judge 3 of 5 during the divorce.
1.3.8.3 Michelle Murphy cannot afford the financial loss that she will
sustain by complying with the order, as this loss will be devastating to the
best interest of the children, Jack Murphy age 15 and Thomas Murphy
Age 13. Michelle Murphy loses her alimony from John Harold Murphy
this year and must financially plan to replace those funds as the children
also become more expensive as they age.
1.3.9 The Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers and Judge Baldwin have
used threats of criminal prosecution to illegally deprive Jack Murphy,
age 15 and Thomas Murphy, age 13 of an appropriate amount of parenting
time with Michelle Murphy, the mother who has raised these children since
they were toddlers when John Harold Murphy abandoned this family for an
adulterous life style in New York. No rational person should want the
Page 11 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
children to engage in the type of immoral conduct of John Harold Murphy
and the illegal conduct of Renee L. Haugerud.
1.3.9.1 Judge Baldwin entered the April 1, 2014 Orders based upon an
earlier ex parte obtained August 23, 2013 Order that is subject to a
supersedeas, as it was entered while Judge Baldwin did not have personal
jurisdiction of the case and there were unanswered motions to disqualify
him pending. There is no return of the remittitur from the appellate courts
in the Orders that Judge Baldwin attempts to enforce.
1.3.9.2 The irony of Judge Baldwin’s conduct is that he walked out of a
hearing that resulted in the August 23, 2013 Order without allowing
Michelle Murphy to present any evidence. Judge Baldwin left the hearing
not for another judicial commitment, but for personal reasons. It is Judge
Baldwin who should be sanctioned and not just disqualified for his
continuum of illegal and unethical conduct. Judge Baldwin refuses to
grant a certificate for appellate review, as he habitually threatens for
Michelle Murphy and her counsel. This Judge Baldwin does in an effort
to move pass his illegal conduct that merits his disqualification.
1.3.9.3 Michelle Murphy is a dedicated great mother to Jack Murphy and
Thomas Murphy and these children know this. That is the reason that the
children continuously inform John Harold Murphy to quit his litigation.
These children know who cares and sacrifices for them. It is nice for the
children to have the benefits of the money John Harold Murphy and
thereby Renee L. Haugerud, but they choose Michelle Murphy’s
requirement of having to tend to household chores rather than having at
their beck and call the servants and chauffeurs of John Harold Murphy
and Renee L. Haugerud. It is amazing that these children have such a Page 12 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
value system with all of the efforts to John Harold Murphy and Renee L.
Haugerud to corrupt their value system with a useless life on the beaches
of St. Thomas, etc.
4.1 The Appearance of Renee L. Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith was denied
at the May 27, 2014 hearings. The testimony of Renee L. Haugerud is
required for four primary purposes and for ancillary purposes. Judge
Baldwin is attempting to disposing of this case without permitting evidence
relating to the psychological damage that he is causing the children and his
illegal conduct is a relevant cause for his disqualification. Judge Baldwin
illegally evaded being examined by counsel about his false statements in
denying the motion to disqualify him and now attempts to prevent evidence
about the psychological damages that he is inflicting upon Jack Murphy
age 15 and Thomas Murphy age 13.
4.1.1 First of the purposes for having the testimony of Renee L.
Haugerud follows. Renee L. Haugerud is the in absentia to this litigation
that controls John Harold Murphy and the lives of the children, as she both
finances this litigation and John Harold Murphy. Without examining Renee
L. Haugerud the Court is absent the detriment to the lives of the children in
being at any time with John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud. In the
presence of John Harold Murphy, Renee L. Haugerud has heard the children
beg, yes beg, John Harold Murphy to dismiss the case, quit attacking their
mother. John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud were informed by the
children that they were not forced to give their affidavits, that the affidavits
they gave were true and that they do not want to live with John Harold
Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud. Essentially, Renee L. Haugerud knows
that John Harold Murphy committed false statements under oath to this Page 13 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Court. Renee L. Haugerud is the person who primarily settled the
malpractice case that was brought against Delia Tedder Crouch and who
could settle this case.
4.1.1.1 Renee L. Haugerud granted Nancy McGarrah an “interview,”
but no more, in her “Custody Evaluation” with Nancy McGarrah. This
interview is outside the bounds of information that H. Elizabeth “Betty”
King will use, as she did not obtain it.
4.1.1.1.1 Nancy McGarrah did not ask Renee L. Haugerud if her
income tax evasions schemes were a crime that could involve moral
turpitude that could affect the best interest of the children.
4.1.1.1.2 Nancy McGarrah did not ask Renee L. Haugerud if her
presence in the house when Thomas Murphy became near deathly ill
with the consumption of alcohol was a good parenting skill in the best
interest of the children.
4.1.1.1.3 Renee L. Haugerud was not asked if her using of the
children as bartenders was in the best interest of the children.
4.1.1.1.4 Nancy McGarrah did not ask Renee L. Haugerud many
other questions that would be relevant to determining if the children
visiting in a household with Renee L. Haugerud in St. Thomas was in
the best interest of the children. Nancy McGarrah apparently accepted
her shortcomings after a short cross-examination and resigned.
4.1.1.1.5 Nancy McGarrah did not ask Renee L. Haugerud about the
payment to Thomas Murphy for the foot messages; nor did she ask her
about the strolls on the nude beach that she John Harold Murphy and
Renee L. Haugerud had with one of the children.
Page 14 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
4.1.1.2 Renee L. Haugerud has chosen a different tactic; she has
chosen to call upon the political favor that the Taylor Drake/Glover &
Davis lawyers have purchased from Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. and
others to have her testimony secreted from the record in this case.
4.1.1.3 Renee L. Haugerud has a substantial amount of control over
the lives of Jack Murphy, age 15 and Thomas Murphy, age 13, as she
determines the locations and finances the various five or six residence for
her and John Harold Murphy. Renee L. Haugerud is the source of John
Harold Murphy’s financial resources. John Harold Murphy is her “kept
man.” Without the testimony of Renee L. Haugerud the Court will not
have the full scope of the detriment to these children. Renee L. Haugerud
is a substantial motivating cause of the litigation attempts to
psychologically destabilize Jack Murphy, age 15 and Thomas Murphy,
age. 13. Renee L. Haugerud is attempts to use her vast wealth to
financially debilitate Michelle Murphy; thereby, Renee L. Haugerud
habitually acts against the best interest of the children.
4.1.1.4 Renee L. Haugerud and John Murphy have never chosen to
purchase or rent a residence in the Newnan area where their visitation
with the children could occur without disrupting the children’s school and
social activities and Michelle Murphy could be watchful of the behavior
of John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud in the presence of the
children. This may never happen because of John Murphy’s previous
sexual abusive activities in the area of the Coweta Judicial Circuit, such
as the occasion when in a drunken condition at a Heritage School social
event, in a sexually abusive manner, John Harold Murphy attempted to
run his hands down a the dress of a woman attending the Heritage School Page 15 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
social function in an attempt to grope the woman. This type of conduct
by John Harold Murphy, in addition to being illegal, is not a good
parenting skill. This is evidence that Judge Baldwin should hear.
4.1.1.5 Renee L. Haugerud is aware of some of the sexual illegal
conduct of John Harold Murphy and of his poor parenting conduct that is
detrimental to the best interest of the children.
4.1.1.6 John Murphy is required by law to provide a legal amount of
child support for Jack Murphy, age 15 and Thomas Murphy age 13.
Renee L. Haugerud illegally participates with John Harold Murphy in
secreting his disposable income that is derived from entities controlled by
Renee L. Haugerud and Renee L. Haugerud personally. Renee L.
Haugerud and John Harold Murphy instead of participating in the
educational financially or otherwise in the needs of the children John
Harold Murphy does such things as purchasing a $5,000 Martin guitar
for Jack Murphy, soon after his mother, Michelle Murphy, buys him, an
appropriate for a beginner, $200 guitar. At the same time that Jack
Murphy is purchased a $5,000 guitar, Thomas Murphy is provided
nothing, as he now refuses to earn $60 per hour rubbing the feet of Renee
L. Haugerud and as requested, will not call her “mother.” John Harold
Murphy listed Renee L. Haugerud as the mother of Thomas Murphy when
Thomas Murphy was admitted to the emergency room of the hospital for
alcohol poisoning. See, Attachment 106 to the May 16 Motion to
Disqualify Judge Baldwin
4.1.1.7 In response to the request of John Harold Murphy the Taylor
Drake/ Glover & Davis lawyers, baited Judge Baldwin into requiring
Michelle Murphy to submit to a OCGA §9-11-35 examination. This was Page 16 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
done in violation of other acceptable means of obtaining the information
allegedly sought, as the acceptable method of obtaining the information
was under judicial review. This examination was vindictively Ordered by
Judge Baldwin as a punitive measure against Michelle Murphy for
exercising her constitutional right to challenge the personal jurisdiction
of Judge Baldwin and the unconstitutionally and otherwise illegally
obtained Order from Judge Baldwin when he was acting outside of his
constitutional authority. This OCGA§ 9-11-35 motion for examination of
Michelle Murphy was a subterfuge for the illegal method of custody
evaluation issues that are on appeal.
4.1.1.8 Renee L. Haugerud has more real world control over the lives
of Jack Murphy, age 15 and Thomas Murphy, age 13 than John Harold
Murphy, as she determines the residence for John Harold Murphy and is
the source of his financial resources. John Harold Murphy is the “kept
man;” of Renee L. Haugerud who maintains that she is in her 21st live of
entitlement. This is not a cult belief that the Michelle Murphy has; nor,
the professed religion of John Harold Murphy while he was married to
Michelle Murphy. Renee L. Haugerud is entitled to her religious beliefs,
but not entitled to use the techniques of her religion to disrupt the lives of
the children.
4.1.2 Second of the purposes for having the testimony of Renee L.
Haugerud follows. Renee L. Haugerud is a necessary witness, as she knows
the information that she provided to Nancy McGarrah in her interview. This
is relevant to determine if Renee L. Haugerud is again providing false
information to support John Harold Murphy as she provided when she
falsely swore under oath in the Probate Court of Troup County to obtain the Page 17 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
marriage license that Superior Court Judge Louis Jack Kirby used to engage
in a marriage ceremony of John Harold Murphy with Renee L. Haugerud.
4.1.2.1 It is relevant that counsel for Michelle Murphy have access to
the information that Renee L. Haugerud provided to this disqualified
custody evaluator, Nancy McGarrah.
4.1.2.2 Michelle Murphy brought a motion to disqualify Nancy
McGarrah that apparently Nancy McGarrah and her counsel, after
hearing her testimony before Judge Baldwin, accepted as good cause for
Nancy McGarrah to resign.
4.1.2.3 Without any inquiry into the information obtained by Nancy
McGarrah, the manner that it was obtain, or the verification of the
accuracy of the information, Judge Baldwin, as a part of his April 1, 2014
unconstitutional and otherwise illegal Orders, permitted the use of the
previous information provide to Nancy McGarrah.
4.1.2.4 Judge Baldwin denied Michelle Murphy a timely filed
certificate to obtain a review of the April 1, 2014 Orders.
4.1.2.5 Judge Baldwin ordered the Nancy McGarrah “custody
evaluator” file transmitted to H. Elizabeth “Betty” King in a April 1, 2014
Order appointing H. Elizabeth “Betty” F. King to conduct an
OCGA 9-11-35 examination and custody evaluation upon Michelle
Murphy. Judge Baldwin, in part, ordered Nancy McGarrah as follows.
The Court further ORDERS any documents compiled by Dr. McGarrah to be sent to the new custody evaluator, Dr. H. Elizabeth King and for Dr. King to obtain any work from Dr. McGarrah deemed necessary for her complete custody evaluation.
Page 18 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
4.1.2.5 The Order of Judge Baldwin violates the United States
Constitution and equivalent State of Georgia equal protection and due
process protections of Michelle Murphy. The same waiver of signature
requirement are not impose upon Renee L. Haugerud and John Harold
Murphy, as can be established by the testimony of Renee L. Haugerud.
The waiver segment of Judge Baldwin’s Order is as follows.
The Court, by this Order, allows the custody evaluator, Dr. H. Elizabeth King, to waive the signatures of the Defendant’s attorneys on any documents; however the Plaintiff and Defendant are ORDERED to sign all documents necessary to begin this custody evaluation.
4.1.2.6 The adhesion contract presented to Michelle Murphy that
requires her signature absent the unconstitutional and illegal order that
allow the waiver of the “the signatures of the Defendant’s attorneys on
any documents” and further orders that “the Plaintiff and Defendant are
Ordered to sign all document necessary to begin this custody evaluation”
that makes Michelle Murphy liable for financial resources that she cannot
provide and time commitment that she cannot endure without
substantially affecting the best interest of the children. The cost of paying
“H. Elizabeth “Betty” King is far from the only financial cost to Michelle
Murphy.
The Supreme Court of the United States in two cases had dealt with the
testimony of a psychologist relating the prediction of future
dangerousness and the rights of a person when the psychologist attempts
to interview the person. The rights of constitutional rights of Michelle
Murphy sought to be protected here that the April and subsequent order
so Judge Baldwin violate are more protected than the constitutional rights Page 19 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
protected by the United States Supreme Court in Estelle v. Smith, 451
U.S. 454 (1981) and as later better explained in Satterwhite v. Texas, 486
U.S. 249 (1988) Judge Baldwin is attempting to order Michelle Murphy
to participate in a substantial amount of junk science that does not result
in constitutional and statutory admissible expert testimony.
4.1.3 Third in the purposes for having the testimony of Renee L.
Haugerud follows. In his May 27, 2014 Order, Judge Baldwin made a
temporary custody change a specific form of punishment for Michelle
Murphy that more specifically is punishment of the children. The children
are not commodities that can be used as currency to punish Michelle
Murphy.
4.1.4 Fourth in the purposes for having the testimony of Renee L.
Haugerud follows. John Harold Murphy seeks to have Michelle Murphy
held in criminal contempt of court based upon false swearing. Renee L.
Haugerud is required as a witness to rebut the false testimony of John
Harold Murphy and to support the challenge to the constitutionality of the
April 1, 2014 Orders that are being constitutionally, statutorily and
Uniform Rules of the Superior Court challenged.
4.2 Judge Baldwin, when Ordering the “Custody Evaluation” Knew
Nothing about a Custody Evaluation excepting the moniker of
“Custody Evaluator.”
4.2.1 Judge Baldwin has lost all sight of the reason that he granted the
“foot in the door” feigned “emergency” judge selection petition of Taylor
Drake by signing without reading the appointment of a guardian ad litem
with illegal authorities, without reading or understanding the Order that he
signed. The feigned emergency was that Michelle Murphy was threatening Page 20 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
to move to South Carolina with the children. Judge Baldwin has
transgressed from accepting that a threat to move to South Carolina was an
emergency to authorizing John Harold Murphy to take the children to St.
Thomas, as punishment to Michelle Murphy and a benefit to the Taylor
Drake/Glover/Davis lawyers. The fact that Judge Baldwin attempts to
punish Michelle Murphy with threats to temporarily change custody of the
children in the May 13, 2014 Rule Nisi is another of the justifiable reasons
to disqualify him.
4.2.2 Judge Baldwin knew several things on the day that the appointed the
guardian ad litem without reading the Order before signing it.
4.2.2.1 Judge Baldwin knew on the night before he was selected to be
the Judge for Taylor Drake and his appointment of Melissa Griffis as
guardian ad litem that both of these lawyers had sponsored a fundraiser
for a candidate for a Superior Court judgeship that Judge Baldwin
supported.
4.2.2.2 Judge Baldwin also knew that both Taylor Drake, Melissa
Griffis and their law firms were large and frequent financial and political
supporters of his.
4.2.2.3 Judge Baldwin also knew that the lawyers for Michelle Murphy
practiced primarily outside the Coweta Judicial Circuit and had no
political or other connection with him or candidates for office that he
supported.
4.2.2.4 Judge Baldwin further knew that John Harold Murphy was the
wealth client and that Michelle Murphy was not a person of wealth.
4.2.2.5 By not reading the complaint filed by Taylor Drake and not
reading the order that he signed without hearing any evidence, a Page 21 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
reasonable person can assume that Judge Baldwin simply granted favor
to the two lawyer and political supporters, Taylor Drake, and Melissa
Griffis whom had sponsored the fundraiser that he attended on the
previous night.
4.2.2.6 The saddest aspect of the signed without reading Order for
Taylor Drake and the appointment of Melissa Griffis, a co-sponsor of a
fundraiser as guardian ad litem event is that Judge A. Quillian Baldwin
made false statement after having an opportunity to study and investigate
the sworn statements in the first motion, as amended, to disqualify him.
4.2.2.7 There was no legal, or moral excuse for Judge Baldwin making
the false statements that he made in the denial of his disqualification
4.2.2.8 There is substantial law that supports that the conduct of Judge
Baldwin in not granting a hearing on his disqualification that Judge
Baldwin violated the law.
4.2.3 Once Judge Baldwin was placed on notice by counsel for Michelle
Murphy that he was caught making false statements about denying facts in
the affidavit supporting his disqualification motion, Judge Baldwin
unknowingly became a hostage of and dependent upon Taylor Drake/Glover
& Davis lawyers, as Judge Baldwin has and extremely weak knowledge of
the law and an absence of computer skills that is the present-day method to
do legal research. If Judge Baldwin knew more law he could minimize his
political dependency in rendering his judicial decisions. Judge Baldwin’s
absence of knowledge of the law that requires his dependency upon others
that he does not disclose is a basis for his disqualification.
4.2.4 No judge is entitled to require the lawyers attempting to protect the
constitutional and statutory rights of a client to choose between presenting Page 22 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
constitutional issues with evidence, and being illegally held in criminal
contempt of because the Judge was “mad,” or because lawyers are exposing
the illegal conduct of the Judge.
4.2.5 Nancy McGarrah and H. Elizabeth “Betty” King have published
articles dealing with their admitted limitations of custody evaluations. These
articles are quoted from below.
Page 23 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
4.2.6 The most reasonable approach is that discussed by Anthony C.
Levitas, Psy.D. in this Child Custody Evaluations: How Can you Help your
Client through the Process.
4.2.6.1 The approach of Anthony C. Levitas, Psy.D. is impressive as
there was a plea by counsel for Michelle Murphy to Taylor Drake for the
parties to discuss resolving their dispute without John Harold Murphy
bring the action to Court. This failed as John Harold Murphy apparently
believed that Superior Court Judge Louis Jack Kirby had directed him to Page 24 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
a lawyer who had political ties to a judge. Over and over Judge Baldwin
has refused to allow mediation. The issue is that the lawyers are feasting
upon the money derived from Renee L. Haugerud by creating litigation
events after litigation event that provide Judge A. Quillian Baldwin an
opportunity to engage in a continuum of illegal and unconstitutional
conduct. A reasonable approach to dispute resolution is not within the
ambit of acceptable solutions for clients of Glover & Davis who have the
assets that Renee L. Haugerud has, the prospects of a gigantic amount of
attorney fees by the Glover & Davis lawyer has a greater priority.
4.3. Based upon procedural grounds, the Court of Appeals dismissed the
appeal relating to Judge Baldwin’s disqualification. The appeal of the
dismissal of the third party complaint of Renee L. Haugerud was also
dismissed on procedural grounds.
4.3.4 The August 23, 2013 Order was rendered in direct violation of
Uniform Superior Court Rule 25.3 that follows.
25.3. Duty of the trial judge When a judge is presented with a motion to recuse, or disqualify, accompanied by an affidavit, the judge shall temporarily cease to act upon the merits of the matter and shall immediately determine the timeliness of the motion and the legal sufficiency of the affidavit, and make a determination, assuming any of the facts alleged in the affidavit to be true, whether recusal would be warranted. If it is found that the motion is timely, the affidavit sufficient and that recusal would be authorized if some or all of the facts set forth in the affidavit are true, another judge shall be assigned to hear the motion to recuse. The allegations of the motion shall stand denied automatically. The trial judge shall not otherwise oppose the motion. In reviewing a motion to recuse, the judge shall be guided by Canon 3(E) of the Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct.
4.4 Judge Baldwin participates in the strategy that involve his illegal and Page 25 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
unconstitutional conduct, as a necessary part of his defense to his illegal
conduct in not disqualifying himself and his illegal conduct of continuing
to preside when he does not have personal jurisdiction in the case.
4.4.1 In addition to abusing Michelle Murphy, Jack Murphy and Thomas
Murphy, Judge Baldwin is abusing his political friends who at some point
in time will be required to disassociate with his conduct.
4.4.2 The relief requested by the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers
for John Harold Murphy in a Second Amended Complaint, was before Judge
Baldwin on August 13, 2013 while a petition for writ of certiorari, was
pending before the Supreme Court, in spite of Michelle Murphy’ request for
continuance to Judge Baldwin.
4.4.2 At that August 13, 2013 hearing, Michelle Murphy, over objection
by her counsel, was not allowed to present any of her witnesses, including
the principal and a teacher from the children’s public school, (V9, p.1806,
1899) who were waiting in the courtroom to testify. Judge Baldwin had
other personal plans, on that and the following two days. Judge Baldwin left
the courtroom before counsel for Michelle Murphy was permitted to present
any portion of her case, or even complete the cross-examination of Dr. Nice,
the obviously substance impaired while testifying expert witness of John
Harold Murphy. The transcript of the August 13, 2013 hearing reflects the
following at page 276.
MR. FARMER: Well, I'm trying to --
THE COURT: Look. I've got to go. I'm sorry. I
told y'all I needed to leave at 6:00. I'm going to be late now. We'll just talk
about this after we find out who the guardian ad litem's going to be.
MS. HARWELL: The custody evaluator. Page 26 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
THE COURT: Custody evaluator.
MR. DRAKE: Thank you, Your Honor.
MR. FARMER: Your Honor, just so we have the record
reflect, we're in the middle of examination of Dr. Nice.
MS. HARWELL: What?
MR. FARMER: I'm showing the record says we're in the
middle of the examination of Dr. Nice.
(Proceedings concluded.)
4.4.3 This denied evidence was materially relevant as it would have
disputed the later, August 23, 2013, ex parte communication in the letter to
Judge Baldwin by the Glover & Davis lawyers. (V11, p.2214) See, Shore v.
Shore, 253 Ga. 183 (1984) modification when a party not allowed evidence.
4.4.4 Judge Baldwin’s personal priorities, not other judicial priorities,
prevented the custodial parent’s direct testimony, the testimony of the
custodial parent’s witnesses and completion of the cross-examination of the
father’s expert psychiatrist witness (Tr. Aug. 13, 2013, p.276) whose mental
condition was so impaired during her testimony that this expert witness was
slurring her speech. (Tr. Aug. 13, 2013, p.209).
4.4.5 This expert witness of John Harold Murphy has a history of
restrictions to her medical license due to substance abuse. (V12, p. 2342)
Attachment 68
4.4.6 This psychiatrist expert presented by John Harold Murphy at the
August 13, 2013 hearing was offered to establish that Michelle Murphy
would not require the children to take medication designed by this
psychiatrist to enhance the children’s academic performance. (V10 p.1924)
Page 27 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
4.4.7 The so called, academic performance medication, actually,
academic doping, administered medication during the day necessitated that
the children also be medicated at night to sleep until awakened and be
medicated to go to school. (V10, p.1924) Michelle Murphy had witnesses
to refute the medicating procedures required of the children by the local “pill
pusher” psychiatrist. (V10 p.1925) (Tr. Aug. 13, 2013, p.167, line 1) and
the detriment of the weekend jet setting of the children around the country
by John Harold Murphy and his current spouse, Renee L. Haugerud, whose
company owned the jet plane used for the jet setting the children around the
country on the weekends. (V11 p.2163)
42.4.8 The wisdom of the children being taken off of their academic
doping medication by Michelle Murphy has proven correct. The wisdom of
the children not being required to take a part of their day with Tony Johnson
has proven correct. The children were only billing opportunities to this pill
mill. Interrogation pair. Tony Johnson knew that Dr. Nice was a substance
abuser herself and failed to warn Michelle Murphy. Tony Johnson, not so
different from the guardian ad. Litem, Elizabeth enjoyed the Renee L.
Haugerud and John Harold Murphy paid trip to Chattanooga. This provided
Tony Johnson a free ticket to visit his female friend.
4.4.9 The August 23, 2013 Order, resulting from the aborted hearing that
modified custody, i.e., visitation, by modifying the 2006 Divorce Decree’s
established visitation rotation to the detriment of the plans of Michelle
Murphy and the children. This occurred after ex parte representations were
made to Judge Baldwin in a letter from the Glover & Davis
lawyers (V14, p.2752) after the aborted hearing that resulted in Judge
Baldwin also modifying the Standing Order (V2, p.379) implemented by all Page 28 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
judges in the Coweta Judicial Circuit (V2, p. 380) by permitting the father,
with a residence in Atlanta, to remove the children from the country during
visitation without prior consent of the mother.
4.4.10 The ex parte, deceptively false communication to Judge Baldwin by
the Glover & Davis lawyers in the letter (V14, p.2752) was as follows.
VIA HAND DELIVERY
Honorable A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. Coweta Judicial Circuit
100 Ridley Avenue Suite 2700 LaGrange, Georgia 30240
RE: John Murphy vs. Michelle Murphy Civil Action No. 12-V-413
Superior Court of Coweta County
Dear Judge Baldwin:
Enclosed is a proposed Order from the hearing held before the Court
on August 13, 2013. Also enclosed is an email I received from the
football coach at Arnall Middle School detailing (contrary to what Ms.
Murphy represented to you under oath in court) he is not aware of
any practices involving any player on his team on Saturday mornings
or at any other time during any weekend. Since Ms. Murphy has not
allowed my client to visit with his boys since the first week in July, I
specified in the Order that his every-other-weekend parenting time
will resume this afternoon. As you may agree, including the date my
client's every-other-weekend parenting time resumes within the
Order should avoid any confusion as to when the boys must be with
my client and it will assist the Court in adjudicating any contempt
claim that may need to be filed if a party does not comply with the
terms of the Order.
You will note Lisa Harwell, the GAL, has reviewed and approved the Page 29 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Order. From the review of the list of doctors supplied in an email by
your assistant on Wednesday, Lisa selected Dr. Nancy McGarrah to
be the custody evaluator. I understand Lisa does not know Dr.
McGarrah and I do not know Dr. McGarrah. However, through Lisa's
investigation Dr. McGarrah received the highest recommendation of
all doctors listed in the email.
The proposed Order was provided to Mr. Farmer, but I do not expect
any response due to his most recently filed motion to recuse you in
this case. In short, my client respectfully requests this Court
disregard the ongoing antics of Mr. Farmer as this Order must be
filed ASAP to implement what the Court ordered on August 13, 2013.
For your convenience, I enclosed a copy of the transcript detailing
your pronouncement in the event you want to review it prior to
signing the enclosed Order.
Best personal regards. GLOVER & DAVIS, P.A. 4.4.11 [Note, the Arial font style is used for the ex parte letter to Judge
Baldwin from the Glover & Davis lawyer, while to emphasize parts of the
letter relevant to a type of detrimental, ex parte information is in Times New
Roman and in other parts, the Courier New font is used for another type of
detrimental, ex parte communication contained in the letter that states that
“Ms. Murphy has not allowed my client to visit with his boys since the first
week in July.” This information was not in evidence and is a knowingly
made false statement either made to the Glover & Davis lawyers by John
Harold Murphy, and/or made by the Glover & Davis lawyers in an attempt
to again discredit the integrity of Michelle Murphy, while obtaining a
modification of the visitation to accommodate the social schedule of John Page 30 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud and to provide them an opportunity to
display the children as ornaments.
4.4.12 The ex parte letter was also designed to pander to the bias of
Judge Baldwin in order to immediately obtain the Order so that the Deputy
Sheriff of Coweta County could go to the house of Michelle Murphy
immediately in order to further intimidate Michelle Murphy and the
children. The urgent ex parte comment to Judge Baldwin in the letter was
“my client respectfully requests this Court disregard the ongoing antics of
Mr. Farmer as this Order must be filed ASAP to implement what the Court
ordered on August 13, 2013.” For ten days, the lawyers waited to hand
deliver an ex parte communication to Judge Baldwin to obtain the Order to
accommodate the social schedule of John Harold Murphy and Renee L.
Haugerud, with total disregard to the plans of Michelle Murphy and the
children, or the rights that they have for their counsel to address the ex parte
communication in the letter.
4.4.13 The letter identifies that it was hand delivered to LaGrange. The
Clerk of the Superior Court of Coweta County in Newnan filed the
August 23, 2013 Order on Friday afternoon at 3:57 p.m., that was obviously
after it was executed and delivered to Newnan.
4.4.14 The e-mail transmitting the ex parte letter to Judge Baldwin was not
emailed to counsel for Michelle Murphy until Friday at 4:16 p.m.
Page 31 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
4.4.15 The letter continued the deceptively false, ex parte representation
to Judge Baldwin that Michelle Murphy provided the Court deceptive, false
information under oath relating to the football practices on Saturday with
the recreational league football coach. The ex parte information was not in
evidence. Next, was the deceptive, false indication that it was e-mailed to
counsel for Michelle Murphy. (V14, p.2753) The order was executed and
the letter was never e-mailed until after it was executed and stamped filed
by the Clerk of Court. Michelle Murphy never received a copy of the Order
modifying custody or information about the modification until the Deputy
Sheriff of Coweta County arrived at her house to escort the children, who
were visiting with friends, to John Harold Murphy, who was awaiting the
Deputy to bring the children to his car (V15 pp. 3005-3012).
2.4.16 The Order prepared by the Glover & Davis lawyers attempted to
shield the modification of custody, i.e., visitation from appellate review by
including a disingenuous statement that “the physical custody of the
Children shall not be changed at this time.” (V11 p.2191)
Timeline Relevant to the Ex Parte Obtained August 23, 2013 Order
August 13, 2013 hearing, Michelle Murphy was not allowed to present
available evidence (Tr. Aug. 13, 2013, p. 274, lines 7-14, p, 276, lines 23-
24)
August 16-18, 2013 was date of the premodification, scheduled visitation
weekend of John Harold Murphy that he chose not to exercise as he was in
St. Thomas. This is relevant to the false ex parte letter communication that
resulted in the alternative visitation weekend schedule for John Harold
Murphy (V14 p. 2698)
August 23, 2013 was the newly modified August 23, 2013 ordered first Page 32 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
weekend of visitation for John Murphy. The August 23, 3013 Order also
removed the Standing Order restriction on geographical travel without
consent. (V14 p. 2699)
August 23, 2013 Order executed that was based upon ex parte
representation made in the letter that Glover & Davis hand delivered with
the Glover & Davis prepared Order for the August 13, 2013 aborted hearing
that modified the Standing Order. (V11, p.2187)
September 23, 2013 Notice of Appeal of August 23, 2013 Order (V14, p.
2774)
August 23, 2013 Order modifying custody, i.e., visitation. See, Shore v.
Shore, 253 Ga. 183 (1984) and its progeny. (Tr. Oct 3, 2013 Hearing)
4.5 Judge Baldwin at the March 17, 2014 Hearing Seem to Have only
a Faint Memory of his Contempt Citations and Seemed to Only
Remember that he was always “fair”. Judge Baldwin has made life
difficult to Michelle Murphy, Jack Murphy, Thomas Murphy and their
counsel. The following section is a reminder. These people were hiding
nothing as they only sought respect for their constitutional rights as
opposed to the respect accorded John Harold Murphy, Renee L.
Haugerud and their counsel for their money and political power.
Summary of Judicial Misconduct that Resulted in the Contempt Orders
(V17, p.3624)
4.5.1 The continuum of unconstitutional conduct by Judge Baldwin has
relevance to the November 19, 2013 adjudications of contempt against Nancy
Michelle Murphy, Larry King and Millard Farmer (V17 p.3624) that resulted
from a Thursday, October 3, 2013 proceeding involving the Amended Motion
for Contempt (Tr. Oct 3, 2013) that was filed on Friday, September 27, 2013, Page 33 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
and not noticed for a hearing. (V14 p. 2779)
4.5.2 There was no Rule Nisi or subpoena that required the attendance of
Michelle Murphy, Larry King and Millard Farmer at the previously scheduled
October 3, 2013 hearing on an earlier filed Motion for Contempt (V12, p.2243)
that also did not require attendance of these applicants with a Rule Nisi or
subpoena. See, Crocker v. Crocker, 132 Ga. App. 587, 589 (1974).
4.5.3 The adjudicated contempts resulted only from assertions made in the
September 27, 2013 filed Amended Motion for Contempt.
4.5.4 The assertions in the Amended Motion were based upon an
August 23, 2013 Order that was rendered for an August 13, 2013 hearing that
was terminated over objection of counsel without Nancy Michelle Murphy (or,
“Michelle Murphy”) being allowed to present her witnesses or evidence, or
even to complete the cross-examination of John Harold Murphy’s expert
witness, who, with a history of substance abuse, was slurring her words. See,
Shore v. Shore 253 Ga. 183 (1984) and its progeny.
4.5.5 Nancy Michelle Murphy, Larry King and Millard Farmer were not
provided even a due process, insufficient Notice of Hearing for the
Amended Motion for Contempt.
4.5.6 The August 23, 2013 Order that was the basis for the assertions in
the Amended Motion for Contempt was noticed for appeal by Michelle
Murphy before the Amended Motion for Contempt was filed. (V14
p.2774)There were numerous motions to disqualify Judge A. Quillian
Baldwin that were not adjudicated before the filing of the Amended Motion
Page 34 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
for Contempt. (infra, p. 17; V3 p.436; V10 p.1904; V11 p.2195; V14
p.2890)
4.5.7 Michelle Murphy, Larry King and Millard Farmer filed a
comprehensive response to the September 27, 2013 Amended Motion for
Contempt. (V16, p.3334) The response pled to the jurisdiction of Judge
Baldwin to adjudicate the “Amended Contempt.”
4.5.8 Judge Baldwin was clearly placed on notice of the pending appeal,
his failure to adjudicate his disqualification and the fact that the
August 23, 2013 Order was obtained by the Glover & Davis lawyers with
an ex parte letter that contained false statements about Michelle Murphy
that were not in evidence.
4.5.9 The disqualification of Judge Baldwin and misconduct of the Glover
& Davis lawyers is relevant to exposing their malicious abuse of the
criminal process to obtain an illegal advantage in the underlying case.
4.6 Michelle Murphy was held in contempt of August 23, 2013 Order
and Ordered incarcerated until she signs documents submitted to her by
the psychologist, Nancy McGarrah, that provided this psychologist
complete immunity -- not just statutory, bad faith immunity, and obligated
Michelle Murphy, a hair stylist, to be responsible for expensive fees and
financial liability to depose the witness, have the witness’ presence in Court.
(V17 p.3627) This Order has now become impossible to perform, as Nancy
McGarrah has exited the case.
4.6.1 The contract of Nancy McGarrah that Judge Baldwin ordered
Michelle to sign was an illegal and unconstitutional adhesion contract.
4.7 Michelle Murphy ordered to pay $5,000 to John Murphy within
thirty (30) days pursuant to OCGA. 19-9-3 and is based on, inter alia, the Page 35 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
attorney's fees Plaintiff incurred in seeking to compel Defendant's
compliance with the August 23, 2013 ex parte obtained Order. See, Horn
v. Shepherd, 292 Ga. 14, 14-21 (2012) The Court did not consider the
disparity of the ability to pay. (V17 p.3628) This matter is pending on
appeal.
4.8 Millard Farmer held in indirect criminal contempt of the
provisions of the August 23, 2013 Order prohibiting either party from
discussing this case or the issues raised herein with the Children, unless
such discussions are necessary to implement the terms of this Order or the
terms of the Final Decree, and further held Millard Farmer in contempt for
Michelle Murphy’s failure to appear at October 3, 2013 indirect criminal
contempt hearing. Millard Farmer was ordered incarcerated for 20 days or
until he pays $1,000.00. (V17 p.3628)
4.9 Larry King was held in contempt twice. After being taken into
custody and paying $1,000, Larry King was released after Judge Baldwin
withdrew the first contempt that occurred as quoted below (Tr. Oct 3, 2013
p.8, lines 8-21) at the beginning of the hearing, as Larry King was
attempting to explain the rights of persons charged with indirect contempt.
Judge Baldwin later stated he withdrew the first contempt because he was
“mad.” (Tr. Oct. 3, 2013 p.19, line 4)
[MR KING] That order is on appeal, and it has been superseded.
THE COURT: What was that? I haven’t seen an appeal.
MR. KING: You’d have to look in the Clerk’s file, Judge.
THE COURT: It’s not my business to look at the Clerk’s file. It’s y’all’s
business to show me where it is. Do you understand? Page 36 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
I’m tired of this. I’m holding you in contempt for not having this stuff.
And I want him put in jail until he purges himself of contempt by paying
at least a thousand dollars’ attorney’s fees. All right. Anything else?
At the end of hearing, Larry King was held in contempt again because
Michelle Murphy failed to appear at the October 3, 2013 contempt hearing.
Larry King was ordered incarcerated for 20 days or until he paid One
Thousand Dollars ($1,000). (Tr. Oct. 3, 2013, p. 112, l. 4 – p.113, l. 24)
After the first contempt of Larry King, Judge Baldwin had an obligation
under the rationale of Dowdy v. Palmour, 251 Ga. 135 (1983) to discontinue
adjudicating the other contempts.
This same rationale disqualifies Judge Baldwin from participating in the
May 27, 2014 Rule Nisi issues.
5. The Background of the Underlying Case and Happenings in the Coweta Judicial Circuit is Relevant, as the Contempts were Retaliatory, but Worse, were Illegally and Unconstitutionally Obtained as Part of a Very Detrimental Obstruction of Justice Created by a Modification of Custody Complaint filed by John Harold Murphy that Judge Baldwin has yet to Pay Michelle Murphy litigation expenses to defend. 3.1 Michelle Murphy, is defending herself and the choices of her children
to continue living with her as a family in two equally difficult arenas due
to her income and financial resources. She is defending in the courts and
defending in the real world, where the children are being financially
deprived and emotionally attacked in order to facilitate their takeover by
John Harold Murphy and Renee Haugerud, his current multimillionaire
spouse. (V16 p.3436) While the efforts of John Harold Murphy and Renee
Haugerud, (or, collectively, “Murphy/Haugerud”) are in two very different
arenas, Murphy/Haugerud and their cadre of lawyers have one unified
tactic, i.e., to financially deplete the resources of Michelle Murphy to cause Page 37 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
her submission. See, e.g., Renee Haugerud’s Motion for Attorney’s Fees
(V7 p.1437); Glover & Davis’ request for attorney fees (Tr. Oct. 3, 2013,
p.68, lines 13-22) motion for $9,000 supersedeas bond to allow appeal of
these contempts.V18, p.3823) The $9,000 supersedeas bond was not
required.
5.2 The litigation against Michelle Murphy was initiated and continued
with combined attempts by John Harold Murphy to create a financial crisis
for Michelle Murphy with the combination of expensive litigation costs and
the deprivation of financial, educational support for the children that he and
Renee Haugerud voluntarily provided since Superior Court Judge Louis
Jack Kirby performed John Harold Murphy’s marriage ceremony with
Renee Haugerud, a multimillionaire hedge fund operator. (V16 p.3440)
5.3 Judge Kirby has a History of Not Acting Judicially Prudent 5.3.1 Superior Court Judge Louis Jack Kirby, before becoming a judge,
represented John Harold Murphy in the 2006 divorce case against Michelle
Murphy.
5.3.2 The Supreme Court recently identified the instance of Coweta
Judicial Circuit Judge Dennis Blackmon disqualifying Judge Kirby for not
acting judicially prudent in Horn v. Shepherd, 294 Ga. 468, 469-470
(2014).
5.3.4 The Horn case refers to a deposition that counsel for Michelle
Murphy took of Judge Kirby in this case.
5.3.5 Melissa Griffis, mentioned in the Horn case, was the first guardian
ad litem appointed by Judge Baldwin in this case in the Order presented to
him by Taylor Drake of Glover & Davis that Judge Baldwin signed without
reading. Page 38 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
5.3.6 After refusing a court reporter recorded conference, and being
challenged, Melissa Griffis resigned without a hearing on her
disqualification; however, in order to leave her footprints in the case, with
her resignation, she recommended the appointment of Elizabeth “Lisa” F.
Harwell, a lawyer who regularly appears before Judge Kirby in her private
domestic relations cases, to replace her as guardian ad litem.
5.3.7 In another case Judge Kirby also acted inappropriate according to
information available to counsel for Michelle Murphy.
5.3.8 Judge Louis Jack Kirby engaged in illegal political favoritism to a
member of a popular family in the Coweta County area and the Sheriff of
Coweta County.
5.3.9 Casey Allen Spradlin, who, with a substantial amount of supporting
evidence, was indicted by the Grand Jury of Meriwether County for brutally
murdering an infant.
5.3.10 Casey Allen Spradlin was acquitted in a trial in the Superior Court
of Meriwether County in which Judge Baldwin presided and the Sheriff of
Coweta County, a family friend of the Spradlin family, and an employee of
the Sheriff of Coweta County, testified as a character witness for Casey
Allen Spradlin.
5.3.11 After being indicted for malice murder and related child abuse
charges, Casey Allen Spradlin was provided a $100,000 bond by the
Superior Court of Meriwether County. The bond was conditioned, in part,
upon him not having contact with another young child with whom he had
been associated during the time that he was associated with the deceased
infant. That conditional bond was legally filed and is in the records of the
Superior Court of Meriwether County. Page 39 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
3.4 The wrongdoings of Judge Louis Jack Kirby in the Spradlin case begins at this point.
5.4.1 Information, believed to be accurate, is that Judge Louis Jack Kirby,
after the indictment of Casey Allen Spradlin, a person charged with murder
of an infant, without additional evidence or a judicial hearing, was
approached and asked to remove the conditions of the $100,000 bond that
prevented contact by Casey Allen Spradlin with the surviving child who was
not killed.
5.4.2 Judge Kirby, either orally or with an unfiled Order, acquiesced in
allowing the removal of the bond condition preventing contact with a
surviving child in the household of the killed child.
5.4.3 After Casey Allen Spradlin was informed that Judge Kirby
acquiesced in allowing the removal of the condition of no contact with the
surviving child. Casey Allen Spradlin visited with the surviving child before
the trial. The surviving child was not injured during the visits.
5.4.4 A reasonable person can assume that Judge Kirby, without notice to
any of the adverse parties, even his wife, Monique Lynn Fouque, who is an
assistant district attorney, removed the conditions of the bond that allowed
Casey Allen Spradlin contact with the surviving child.
5.4.5 A reasonable person can assume that the removal of the bond
condition was a political favor that was intended to be secreted from the
public, as the removal of the bond’s condition was not recorded in the public
records of Meriwether County.
5.4.6 The District Attorney, upon specific request in an e-mail, although
he has confirmed other information related to the case, has not confirm or
denied if the District Attorney was notified of the no contact with the Page 40 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
surviving child conditions being removed from the bond before Judge Kirby
removed the no contact conditions of the bond. It is seriously doubted that
the District Attorney would have participated in any such conduct.
5.4.7 There is also no indication in the records of the Superior Court of
Meriwether County that any notice was provided in any manner to the public
or to the Georgia Department of Family and Children Services about the
change of the bond’s no contact conditions.
5.4.8 It is suspected that the conditions of the bond were secretly removed,
or evaded, in an agreement with the Sheriff of Coweta County, a friend of
the Spradlin extended family.
5.4.9 The illegal and thereby unethical conduct of Judge Kirby occurred
by the modification of the bond not being filed in the records of the Superior
Court of Meriwether County, as the original Order relating to the
conditional bond was filed.
5.4.10 It is suspected that the bond was modified by Judge Kirby as a
politically motivated judicial favor, not supported by evidence that the
District Attorney was allowed to contest.
5.4.11 Had this change of conditions of the bond been determined to be in
the best interest of society, an Order modifying the bond conditions would
have alerted persons having an interest in the other minor child, such as the
Department of Family and Children Services and other relatives of the
surviving minor child.
5.4.12 The minor child was protected by the condition of the bond that was
apparently justified when the judicial determination was made that the bond
should be conditional. That once protected child had an unprotected interest
Page 41 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
in Judge Louis Jack Kirby breaching the judicial process apparently for the
benefit of political favor to him.
5.5The uninvestigated aspect of this wrongdoing Judge Kirby involves
whether or not Judge Baldwin, the trial judge in the murder case, had
knowledge of the process of the modification of the bond either before or
after it occurred, and, if he did have knowledge, did he exercise his
obligation either before or after it happened, to report the incident. If Judge
Baldwin had any knowledge before the trial of the secret change of the bond
by Judge Kirby and took no action, this would be an additional reason for
the disqualification of Judge Baldwin.
5.5.1 Judge Baldwin was assigned to try the murder case; the question is;
was it the consistent violations of the Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1 case
management rule that resulted in a judge shopping arrangement that opened
the window of opportunity for this illegal and unethical conduct by Judge
Kirby to modify the conditions of the bond while Judge Baldwin was
assigned the case?
5.5.2 For whatever reason that it was determined that the first child died a
brutal death, the surviving child did not deserve to be placed at risk after the
murder indictment until it was adjudicated, whether, or not Casey Allen
Spradlin had a defense to the brutal murder with malice of the infant that
the jury indicted him for committing.
5.5.3 The conduct of Judge Louis Jack Kirby is relevant to the conduct of
Chief Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr., as Judge Kirby, under the current
Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1 case assignment in the Coweta Judicial
Circuit, is assigned to the Superior Court of Coweta County in a
disproportionate number of cases, as he is married to Monique Lynn Page 42 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Fouque, an assistant district attorney, who is primarily assigned to the
Superior Court of Troup County.
5.6 The Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers instigated this case in a
Superior Court knowing of the judge shopping corruption allowable at the
time that the case was filed. Eventually the Glover & Davis lawyers were
called out by the Supreme Court of Georgia in the City of Savannah v.
Batson Cook case.
5.6.1 Before the case was filed, after Michelle Murphy informed John
Harold Murphy that she would not yield to his request for her and the
children to move to Tennessee near Renee Haugerud’s home on Lookout
Mountain, he began the Murphy/Haugerud financial assault upon the family
by withdrawing transportation for the children from Newnan to the private
school in Atlanta that Murphy/Haugerud had previously, voluntarily
provided. (V9 p.1768)
5.6.2 The type of conduct in which John Harold Murphy and Renee L.
Haugerud have engaged is a clear indication that it is not in the “best interest
of the children.” It is a part of their agenda that is to obtain another
possession that just happens at this time to be the children, whom they
display as ornaments. Their possession is to fill a void in what Renee
Haugerud calls her 21st payoff life. (V14, 2766)
5.6.3 Taylor Drake initially sent a proposed contract to Michelle Murphy
that required her and the children to move to Chattanooga, or be imperiled
with this modification litigation. (V8 p.1567)
5.6.4 John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud apparently view
Michelle Murphy only as a “nanny” or a surrogate mother for the children.
John Harold Murphy maintained that Renee Haugerud was the natural Page 43 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
mother of Thomas Murphy on a recent visit to the emergency room for his
alcohol poisoning that occurred while visiting in their Atlanta residence.
(V16, p.3489) Murphy/Haugerud consider Michelle Murphy to be a hair
stylist beneath their social and economic status and do not accord her the
dignity deserved for the mother who raised the children when their father
left their home for New York and other women long before he began living
with Renee Haugerud.
5.6.5 When Michelle Murphy refused to move from Newnan to Tennessee,
the Glover & Davis lawyer used an “emergency” motion to select Judge
Baldwin.
5.6.6 Judge Baldwin was easily selected by Taylor Drake falsely alleging
an emergency, with the sworn statement of John Harold Murphy that
Michelle Murphy was planning to move to South Carolina. (V1 p.13) The
Standing Order prevents such a move, in the Coweta Judicial Circuit, upon
the filing of any type of domestic relations complaint without the feigned
emergency hearing on the day that Judge Baldwin was presiding. This tactic
was used by the Glover & Davis lawyer to hand pick Judge Baldwin for this
case. (V1, p.7)
5.6.6 Judge Baldwin, without granting a requested hearing and over
strenuous objection, signed by counsel for Michelle Murphy and without
reading, Taylor Drake’s prepared order illegally appointing Melissa Griffis
as the guardian ad litem. (V1, p.23) Judge Baldwin delegated to Melissa
Griffis authority unauthorized by law. This guardian ad litem had sponsored
a judicial political rally with the Glover & Davis lawyer, attended by Judge
Baldwin on the night before her appointment. The Order, contrary to what
Judge Baldwin maintains that he believed that he was signing, made Page 44 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Michelle Murphy potentially liable for payment of the fees of the guardian
ad litem. (Tr. Nov. 15, 2012, p.33, l. 25- p. 34, l. 22)
Melissa Griffis as the guardian ad litem was illegally granted the authority
to temporarily modify custody without judicial approval that “shall” be
followed. Without such authority Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, urged by
5.6.7 Taylor Drake attempted to use this illegal authority that was granted
to Melissa Griffis, but not granted to Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell. This
illegal authority is not authorized by statute, or the Uniform Superior Court
Rules. Uniform Superior Court Rule 24.9 provides the authority authorized
for a guardian ad litem. Superior Court judges are restricted from delegating
the authority that Taylor Drake included in the appointment order that Judge
Baldwin signed without reading. This illegal authority that 3.6.8 Taylor
Drake both inserted in the signed without reading appointment order of
Melissa Griffis and encouraged Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell to illegally
order is, as follows.
The GAL may make temporary recommendations/adjustments during the pendency of this action regarding custody and parenting time and the parties shall follow said recommendations of GAL. (V1 p.23)
5.6.8 Judge Baldwin, without knowing, or by intentionally misstating
the Uniform Superior Court Rules, states as follows in his
disqualification order.
While the court acknowledges that it is better practice to read such order, in this case it was not needed. The GAL order was a standard order that the Judge has seen a number of times. Further, the order tracts the Uniform Superior Court Rules for the duties of a GAL.
Page 45 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
5.6.9 Judge Baldwin did accurately state that the Glover & Davis lawyer
includes this illegal authority in the Glover & Davis prepared guardian ad
litem appointment orders that apparently Judge Baldwin, as a matter of
practice always signs without reading.
5.6.11 Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, to the detriment of Michelle Murphy,
attempted to use this authority to create an order to Michelle Murphy about
the children going to school in Atlanta rather than near their home in Coweta
County. This order by the guardian ad litem created very expensive
litigation costs for Michelle Murphy. (V16 p.3394)
5.6.10 The illegal conduct of Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell is relevant, as it
was Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell alone who selected the psychologist with
the illegal contract that Judge Baldwin attempted, with an aspect of the
contempt, to force Michelle Murphy to sign.
5.6.11 This conduct of Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell attempting to modify
custody at the beginning of the school year with the illegal authority granted
to Melissa Griffis initiated an expanded disqualification of Judge Baldwin
motion that he denied on June 7, 2012. (V2 p.306), That disqualification
motion addresses the illegal conduct that Judge Baldwin identifies as
“messing” with him.
5.6.12 The June 7, 2012 denial of disqualification Order was appealed and
is pending before the Supreme Court of Georgia. The June 7, 2012 Order
disputed other facts in the affidavit supporting the disqualification motion
and further violated the Uniform Superior Court Rule 25, et seq. as Judge
Baldwin did not refer the motion to another judge and did not cease acting
on the merits of the case, as required by USCR 25.3
Page 46 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
5.6.12 The lynchpin in all matters in this case is Judge Baldwin’s violations
of the Canons of the Code of Judicial Conduct (or, “Canons”) and the Glover
& Davis lawyer’s selection of Judge Baldwin. The Glover & Davis judge
shopping selection of Judge Baldwin was doable with a combined feigned
“emergency” motion (V1 p.13) and the absence of a Uniform Superior Court
Rule 3.1 case management plan. (V2 p.310; V3 pp. 436, 447, 506) Glover
& Davis engaged in a pattern of judge selection conduct. See, Mayor &
Aldermen of Savannah v. Batson-Cook Co., 291 Ga. 114 (2012).
5.6.13 When John Harold Murphy began withdrawing voluntarily provided
transportation to an Atlanta private school that Murphy/Haugerud had
previously offered to the children, (V9 p.1768) Michelle Murphy informed
the Murphy/Haugerud couple that she could not afford the transportation to
Atlanta schools twice a day while engaging in her occupation as a hair
stylist. The Glover & Davis lawyer, after rejecting alternative suggestions
for transportation, wrote a letter accusing this hair stylist of “laziness” in not
making the two trips to the Atlanta schools each day from Newnan. (V9
p.1783)
5.6.14 When Michelle Murphy made it clear that if alternative suggestions
for transportation (Tr. Aug. 30, 2012 p. 10) were not accepted she would
not take the children to the Atlanta schools, Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell,
without court approval, ordered the children to stay with John Harold
Murphy in Atlanta at the beginning of school. (V9 p.1788)
Michelle Murphy refused to surrender the children, as ordered by Elizabeth
5.6.15 “Lisa” F. Harwell and enrolled the children in public school in
Coweta County.
Page 47 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
5.6.15 Taylor Drake then obtained an “emergency” hearing before Judge
Baldwin on August 30, 2012. Judge Baldwin, after hearing the testimony of
the psychiatrist expert witness for John Harold Murphy to whom the
Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell $1,500 to testify, was unable to identify any
emergency. (Tr. Aug.30, 2012 p. 72, lines 20-25) The hearing was a flop for
the goals of “Murph,” as Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell called John Harold
Murphy.
5.6.17 Judge Baldwin, at that August 30, 2012 hearing, issued the
following threat to Michelle Murphy, whom he knew could not afford the
litigation.
But let me just talk again to the parties. Do y'all want to keep putting all this money out here, fussing about this thing? I mean, again, if you don't have anything to fear, if everything is all right, and everything's been done the way it's supposed to be done, you don't have anything to fear about losing custody of the children. And I just wanted to know if y'all really want to just keep dragging this out like this. You know, y'all can spend money to kingdom come, that kind of thing. And there's no kind of guarantee that I'm going to award any attorney's fees, you know, to cover any of this stuff. There's nothing that requires me to do that. And so I just want y'all to think about that. (Tr. Aug. 30, 2012, p. 29, lines 2-15)
5.6.18 It was at the next hearing that Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, an
attorney who appears before Judge Kirby on a regular basis with her
private clients, (Tr. Aug. 30, 2012, p. 68, line 9) was caught by counsel
for Michelle Murphy converting funds to her personal use in violation of
USCR 24.9(8)(g). (Tr. Nov 15, 2012, p.30, l. 9 –p.33, l. 22).She then
began attempting to get Judge Baldwin to Order the employment of another
Page 48 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
expert psychologist, called a “custody evaluator.” There are no special
circumstances to justify this unnecessary expense. This was yet another
expensive, unnecessary “expert witness” litigation tactic in which Michelle
Murphy could not afford to equally participate and litigate.
5.6.19 Those paid from the bank accounts controlled by Renee Haugerud
seek “experts” for litigation, e.g., the Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell selected
“custody evaluator,” not experts for the best interest of the children, as their
lives are being tormented by the snatch and grab litigation tactics of the John
Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud cadre of lawyers, investigators and
experts who cannot even turn up an untidy lawn at Michelle Murphy’s
house.
5.6.20 Judge Baldwin, who was very ruffled by the disqualification
motions’ disclosure of his conduct and the appeal of his Order denying
them, began further participating with the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis
lawyers, who were using the tremendous disparity in income and wealth of
the parties as a detriment to Michelle Murphy.
5.6.21 Judge Baldwin’s denial of his disqualification was before the Court
of Appeals in Murphy v. Murphy, 322 Ga. App. 829 (2013). That appeal was
dismissed on jurisdictional grounds and is now pending on certiorari in
case no. S13G1651.
5.6.22 In another related appellate matter addressing Judge Baldwin’s
disqualification in this case, the Supreme Court transferred its Case No.
S14A0275 to the Court of Appeals. The record citations in that transferred
appeal and in this application are synchronized in the Court of Appeals.
In his June 7, 2012 Order, Judge Baldwin disputed the relevant facts
contained in the supporting affidavit. (V2 p.306) See, Isaacs v. State, 257 Page 49 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Ga. 126 (1987); Birt v. State 256 Ga. 483 (1986). Judge Baldwin opposed
each disqualification motions that he denied with a travesty of justice Order
that was filed on December 4, 2013, without referring the matter to another
judge. (V17, p.3827)
5.7 The disqualification motions affected the contempt adjudications;
more accurately stated, the disqualification motions were Judge Baldwin’s
motivation for the contempt adjudications. The contempts began when
Judge Baldwin admittedly got “mad” at Larry King.
5.7.1 After Judge Baldwin’s June 7, 2012 denial of his disqualification,
Judge Baldwin clothed himself with a Teflon armor attitude and declared
as follows. And I’m not going to recuse myself. I’ll tell you
right now, I’m not going to recuse myself. And
I’m going to put in there -- because y’all have
already had your chance on recusal. It’s been
appealed. They upheld me staying in this case and
not recusing myself. And we’re just going to keep
it like that.[emphasis supplied] (Tr. Oct. 3, 2013, p. 17) See,
Murphy v. Murphy, 322 Ga. App. 829 (2013)
5.7.2 Sticking by that manifesto, but failing to perform his non-
discretionary, sworn duty, Judge Baldwin refused to obey the
non-discretionary dictates of Uniform Superior Court Rule 25, et seq.
(Recusal) and never entered an order adjudicating any other disqualification
motions that were filed on June 13, 2012 (V3, p.436); July 2, 2012 (V3,
p.502); Aug. 19, 2013 (V10, p.1904); Aug. 28, 2013 (V11, p.2195); Sept.
13, 2013 (V12, p.2321); Oct. 7, 2013 (V14, p.2890); and Nov. 26, 2013 Page 50 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
(V17, p.3639) until December 4, 2013 when he entered yet another Order
in which he, as he did in his June 7, 2012 denial of his disqualification
motion, once again opposed by disputing his disqualification motion’s
affidavits with both deceptive and false statements. (V17 p.3827)
5.7.3 Adding grounds to his disqualification in the unadjudicated, pending
disqualification motions, Judge Baldwin, with the motions pending, and
without adhering to USCR 25.3 to “temporarily cease to act upon the merits
of the matter and shall immediately determine the timeliness of the motion
and the legal sufficiency of the affidavit, and make a determination,
assuming any of the facts alleged in the affidavit to be true, whether recusal
would be warranted” proceeded with the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis
lawyers’ request to hear the merits at an August 13, 2013 hearing. That
hearing resulted in the ex parte obtained August 23, 2013 Order.
5.7.4 The ex parte obtained August 23, 2013 Order (V11, p.2187) modified
visitation, i.e., modified custody, (Edge v Edge, 290 Ga 551, 552 (2012) as
determined by the Divorce Decree (V2, p.411 ) and Standing Order of all
the Circuit Judges (V1, p.7), after the Court refused to allow Michelle
Murphy to present evidence, (Tr. Aug. 13, pp.235, 274) or to complete the
cross-examination of John Harold Murphy’s witness (Tr. Aug 13, p. 276),
at the August 13, 2013 hearing, contrary to Shore v. Shore, 253 Ga. 183 (Ga.
1984) and its progeny. All, while there were four pending, unadjudicated
judge disqualifications motions. (V3 p.436; V10 p.1904; V11 p.2195; V14
p.2890)
5.7.5 In order to modify visitation while attempting to shield the ex parte
August 23, 2013 Order from appellate review, the Taylor Drake/Glover &
Davis lawyers included the absolutely contradictory statement, “The Page 51 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
physical custody of the children shall not be changed at this time”
(V11, p. 2191). The statement is an illegally included defense of the Glover
& Davis lawyer, as Judge Baldwin never read before signing and filing the
ex parte obtained August 23, 2013 Order. (V11 p.2214) Judge Baldwin
defends the ex parte letter (V14, p.2752) that accompanied the proposed
August 23, 2013 Order.
THE COURT I’m just tired of things -- Like I
noticed in this thing y’all talk about some
kind of ex parte conversations. I don’t think
I have had any ex parte conversations with Mr.
Drake about this anytime lately if I ever had
any. I don’t think, since the beginning of this
case I have, partly because of all the stuff
that’s been going on in the State about ex
parte conversations. * * * And I don’t
believe I have had any ex parte conversations,
and I don’t see how y’all could know about any
unless you supposedly have my phones bugged or
his phone bugged. (Tr. Oct. 3, 2013, p.15, lines 4-17).
5.7.6 Before Michelle Murphy received or learned of the ex parte
supported August 23, 2013 Order, a deputy sheriff, whose office is
represented by Glover & Davis, came to the home of Michelle Murphy to
get the children to comply with the modified visitation, nunc pro tunc to
August 13, 2013. (V14, p. 2702)
5.7.7 The August 23, 2013 Order was obtained with an ex parte
communication to Judge Baldwin, containing facts not in evidence and false
Page 52 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
statements, not provided to counsel for Michelle Murphy, until after the
Order was obtained and filed. (Tr. Oct. 3, 2013, p. 19, lines 12-23)
5.7.7 On August 29, 2013, the Glover & Davis lawyers filed a Motion for
Indirect Criminal Contempt accompanied only with a “notice of hearing”
without a Rule Nisi or subpoena requiring that Michelle Murphy attend a
hearing. (V12, p.2243), Michelle Murphy responded on September 23, 2013
to that contempt motion with detailed, supporting affidavits refuting the
motion. (V14, p.2721)
5.7.8That motion and the Amended Contempt were abuses of the criminal
process.
5.7.9 A proceeding on the motion occurred on October 3, 2013 without a
Rule Nisi or subpoena for any person to attend. The response, with support
of affidavits from the children, with a recorded cell phone conversation by
one of the children with John Harold Murphy, clearly indicated that John
Harold Murphy could not sustain an indirect criminal contempt, even if he
had provided the due process required service, as he consented to the
children not visiting, as he was in St. Thomas on his visitation time. (V14,
pp. 2743, 2758, 2763)
5.7.10 After John Murphy and the Glover & Davis lawyers orchestrated the
Deputy Sheriff’s illegal display of force to the children gimmick that did not
result in an incident, and the Glover & Davis lawyer realized after obtaining
the response, supported by the affidavits of the children and their mother,
that John Harold Murphy had made a false statement under oath, they
changed their attack.
5.7.11 The Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers then attempted to use the
August 23, 2013 Order, while it was on appeal to the Supreme Court of Page 53 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Georgia (V14 p.2774) as the basis for the hasty, illegal filing on Friday,
September 27, 2013 of an Amended Contempt Motion (V14 p.2779) The
Amended Contempt Motion was one shoddy piece of legal work apparently
designed only to take additional advantage of Judge Baldwin while also
initiating a threat of incarceration action against Michelle Murphy and her
lawyers to appease Murphy/Haugerud.
5.7.12 The Amended Contempt Motion was not supported with a notice of
hearing that would have been an infirm due process notice to a person
charged with the October 3, 2013 indirect contempts. (V14 p.2807)
5.7.12.1 The Amended Contempt Motion did not include a Rule Nisi
5.7.12.2 The Amended Contempt Motion did not subpoena any person.
The Amended Contempt Motion was not even copied to Larry King.
5.7.12.3 The Amended Contempt Motion stated that it was for contempt
of “Defendant’s lawyer” [singular] when Michelle Murphy had two
lawyers and the lawyer charged was not named. (V14, p.2782)
5.7.12.4 The Amended Contempt Motion was not a charging document
that comported with due process to the extent that it could legally be
adjudicated. (V14, p.2817)
5.7.12.5 The Thursday, October 3, 2013 court calendar posted and sent
to counsel from the Clerk of Court of Coweta County did not indicate that
the Amended Motion for Contempt, or any motion for contempt, was on
the Thursday, October 3, 2013 calendar, as the “Prosecutor/Plaintiff”
5.7.12.6 Taylor Drake of Glover& Davis did not obtain from the Judge,
or any Clerk, a Rule Nisi to have served upon the persons charged. (V14
p. 2807) See, Crocker v. Crocker, 132 Ga. App. 587, 589 (1974)
Page 54 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
5.7.12.7 Michelle Murphy, Larry King and Millard Farmer filed a
comprehensive response to the September 27, 2013 Amended Motion for
Contempt. (V16, p.3334) The response pled to the jurisdiction of Judge
Baldwin to hear the Amended Contempt Motion.
5.7.12.8 Judge Baldwin abrogated his judicial authority in all relevant
matters in the entirety of this case to the Glover & Davis lawyers. It is
unconscionable, but certainly not unpredictable that Judge Baldwin
delegated the preparation of the contempt orders to the Taylor
Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers.
5.7.12.9 It is unconscionable that the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis
lawyers included false findings of fact in the Order that was prepared for
Judge Baldwin to sign. The Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers included
the findings in the Order that Judge Baldwin again did not have read before
singing.
5.7.12.10 The November 19, 2013 Contempt Order falsely states,
without evidence that “Defendant and her lawyers had reasonable and
sufficient notice of the hearing.” Again, the Order states that “The Court
further finds that Defendant had reasonable notice of the hearing but
failed to appear and present evidence.”
5.7.12.11 The ironic aspect of this finding that Defendant “failed to
present evidence” is the ex parte obtained August 23, 2013 Order that
“Defendant” is accused of violating resulted from a hearing on August 13
where Michelle Murphy and each of her counsel did appear, but Judge
Baldwin aborted the hearing for a personal commitment and never
allowed Michelle Murphy to present any evidence, including the
Page 55 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
principal and teacher from the children’s school, who awaited all of the
hearing to testify. Shore v. Shore, 253 Ga. 183 (1984) and its progeny.
5.7.12.12 There was absolutely no evidence to support that Michelle
Murphy, Larry King or Millard Farmer were provided a Rule Nisi, a
subpoena to appear or any other notice that fulfills the requirements of
due process.
5.7.12.13 Judge Baldwin doesn’t read the orders that he signs, and,
worse, has such little understanding of the law relating to contempt that
on October 3, 2013, he initially held Larry King in contempt for just
attempting to explain the impropriety of Judge Baldwin beginning the
hearing with the shoddy papers that the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis
lawyers filed without the vaguest understanding of the due process
protections associated with criminal prosecutions, albeit the prosecution
for contempt.
5.7.12.14 The inability of Judge Baldwin even to allow Larry King to
explain the due process protections involved in contempt actions speaks
the reason that Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1 was never implemented
in the Coweta Judicial Circuit and the reason that due process protections
in the court is at such a low level that orders drafted by political friends
are signed without reading.
6 Cannon 2A, 2B, Canon 3E of the Code of Judicial Conduct are
substantive grounds for recusal or disqualification of a judge. These
grounds should be assessed in light of two well-recognized principles of
Georgia law. First, no one has a right to select the judge of their choice,
and a judge, of course, has no right to select the cases over which the judge
presides. See Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1. Yet, that is what happened Page 56 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
in this case and happened in the Coweta Judicial Circuit on a regular basis.
(V3 pp.447-448)
6.1 Persons accused of conduct that subjects them to incarceration are
entitled to a trier of fact who is not biased. Judge Baldwin and the contempt
convictions do not open the first gate to uphold the contempt convictions
under the Cole v. Arkansas, 333 U.S. 196 (1948) standard of adequate
notice of the charges and under the In re Winship, 397 U. S. 358,
requirement that to support a criminal conviction the record must
reasonably support a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
6.1.1 Judge Baldwin not only deprived Nancy Michelle Murphy, Larry King
and Millard Farmer of a fair hearing, he deprived them§ of a motion for new
trial before a fair jurist, when, after the November 19, 2013 contempt Order,
he denied all of the disqualification motions that were pending before the
November 19, 2013 Order., thereby not allowing another judge to take over
this case. With Judge Baldwin remaining in the case there is no possibility
for the applicants to obtain a fair ruling on a motion for new trial that
reviews the criminal contempt convictions under a different standard. See,
Walker v. State, 292 Ga. 262, 264-265 (Ga. 2013)
6.1.1.1 In particular, Section (B) (7) of Canon 3 of the Georgia Code of
Judicial Conduct forbids a judge from considering an ex parte
communication: Judges shall accord to every person who has a legal
interest in a proceeding, or that person's lawyer, the right to be heard

"[W]hen the court considers facts not properly in evidence, the other party
has rights that cannot be protected fully if he is thus denied the privilege of
cross-examination. Arnau v. Arnau, 207 Ga. App. 696, 697 (Ga. Ct. App.
1993)
6.1.1.2 The law relating to indirect contempt is clear. Michelle
Murphy, Millard Farmer and Larry King were accorded no due process
protections that Crocker v. Crocker, 132 Ga. App. 587, 589 (1974)
identifies must be provided:
In cases of constructive [indirect] contempt of court, where the alleged contumacious conduct is disobedience to a mandate of the court, not an act in the presence of the court or so near thereto as to obstruct the administration of justice, the law requires that a rule nisi issue and be served upon the accused, giving him notice of the charges against him, and that he be given an opportunity to be heard. [citations omitted]
6.1.1.3After the first contempt of Larry King, Judge Baldwin had an
obligation under the rationale of Dowdy v. Palmour, 251 Ga. 135 (1983) to
discontinue adjudicating the other contempts.
6.2 Renee L. Haugerud was legally served with a subpoena on April 21, 2012 by serving the subpoena upon he counsel of Record 6.2.1 On May 1, 2014, after Renee L. Haugerud was served the
April 21, 2014 subpoena for her attendance at the April 27, 2014 hearings
that she attempts to quash, John Harold Murphy instigated a Petition for
Contempt of Court against Michelle Murphy. At the time that the subpoena
was served upon Peter a. Durham the remittitur had not been returned to
this Court and therefore at the time of service the subpoena was properly Page 58 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
served upon Peter A. Durham.
6.2.2 The Petition for Contempt of Court against Michelle Murphy was
apparently instigated by John Harold Murphy as he committed to Jack
Murphy age 15 that he would have his mother, Michelle Murphy put in jail
if Renee L. Haugerud was subpoenaed. This threat of criminal prosecution,
as the petition for contempt is, exemplifies the just one of the attempts of
John Harold Murphy, the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers to suppress
evidence relevant to the best interest of the children.
6.2.3 Michelle Murphy is constitutionally entitled to present evidence
at the May 27, 2014 hearing. At the last hearing before Judge Baldwin on
March 17, 2014, Judge Baldwin even prohibited counsel for Michelle
Murphy from obtaining from John Harold Murphy the address of his and
Renee L. Haugerud’s residence in the State of Georgia. Upon specific
request, Judge Baldwin stated that he would prohibit a deposition of Renee
L. Haugerud until after the May 27, 2014 hearing. The only method of
obtaining the sworn testimony of Renee L. Haugerud is with the subpoena
that is served upon her for the hearings scheduled for May 27, 2014.
6.2.3.1 Renee L. Haugerud is a party who is represented by Peter A.
Durham/Glover & Davis lawyers who has secreted herself from
examination by counsel for Michelle Murphy although Renee L. Haugerud
has engaged in conduct with Jack Murphy age 15 and Thomas Murphy
age 13 that was not in the best interest of these children.
6.2.3.2 Judge Baldwin should allow the examination of Renee L.
Haugerud in order to determine if the children are to be allowed to be in her
presence. She is the person who participating with John Harold Murphy is
withdrawing the funds being used for the children’s education when Page 59 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Michelle Murphy refused to move with the children to Chattanooga,
Tennessee.
6.2.4 Glenn H. Miller, MD, a noted psychiatrist, in J Am Acad
Psychiatry Law 30:196-200, 2002, identified that a custody evaluation by
the psychologist can be damaging to the child.
Custody examinations can be very involved. The examiner may gather a
mass of information but it important that the information be directly
relevant to the intent of the evaluation. If not, the evaluation may be
damaging.
6.2.4.1 Upon specific inquiry to both Nancy McGarrah and H. Elizabeth
“Betty” King they both have refused to disclose the type of tests that they
plan to use and their qualification as an expert that supports the opinions
that they could render as the results of the test.
6.2.4.2 Harriette. Elizabeth “Betty” King requires that Michelle Murphy
initially provide her the information in Attachment 107 and warns Michelle
Murphy as follows.
6.2.4.3 This is a relevant point to emphasize, as H. Elizabeth “Betty”
King warns in her Limitations, Risks and Services section of her adhesion
contract; “neither the Profession of psychology nor the State of Georgia
has established criteria.”
Page 60 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.2.4.3.1 Who knows if H. Elizabeth “Betty” King preference wealth
parties who pay her fees, of provides equal an equal opinion of a party
who is not capable of providing her fees and who is challenging her
methodology.
6.2.4.3.2 This case offer a good example of the way that Judge
Baldwin accorder his regular campaign financial donors and political
friends is signing without reading an order over the objecting of an
opposing party who wished for evidence. The treatment of the illegal
conduct of Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell by Judge Baldwin is another
example.
6.2.4.3.3 Our judicial system is organized to accommodate advocates
who are attentive to the rights of parties. It is only those who do not have
respect for the constitutional and statutory rights of litigants who through
their biased judgments believe that persons exercising their constitutional
rights are attempting to hide something. Michelle Murphy is not now, nor
has she ever attempted to hide anything. Plainly stated, Judge Baldwin
has obtained to hide an examination of his judicial conduct by not
providing a Uniform Superior Court Rule 25 et. seq. review of his
conduct by an impartial jurist. This is illegal and not a constitutionally
protected right of Judge Baldwin, as his position as a judge belongs to the
people and not him.
6.2.4.3.4 Judge Baldwin, without knowing anything about “custody
evaluators,” their cost or their potential detriment to Jack Murphy age 15
and Thomas Murphy 13, accepted the judgment of Elizabeth “Lisa” F.
Harwell whose judgment is so poor that she converts funds held in trust
Page 61 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
by her to her personal account without the Uniform Superior Court
Rule 24.9 (8)(g) mandated, in its relevant part as follows.
The GAL's requests for fees shall be considered, upon application properly served upon the parties and after an opportunity to be heard, unless waived. In the event the GAL determines that extensive travel outside of the circuit in which the GAL is appointed or other extraordinary expenditures are necessary, the GAL may petition the Court in advance for payment of such expenses by the parties.
6.2.4.3.5 The fees of H. Elizabeth “Betty” King and the time
consumed away from the income necessary business of Michelle Murphy
are financially debilitating to Michelle Murphy. The fees and time is
identified in H. Elizabeth “Betty” King’s adhesion contract, in part, is
identified as follows.
6.2.4.4 After being subjected to the “test” the adhesion contracts of this
“custody evaluators” H. Elizabeth “Betty” King further warns Michelle
Murphy as follows.
Page 62 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.2.4.5 Any mother who would trust Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell with
confidential information about her assessment of her children as required by
the form of H. Elizabeth “Betty” King that is Attachment Initial 107
interview would be not acting in the best interest of her children It would
be poor judgment to provide information in trust to this guardian ad litem
who converted funds in violation of the laws of Georgia to her personal use
without, as required by law, presenting documentation of the justification
for conversion of the funds. This guardian ad litem was also involved in
marital infidelity whom Judge Baldwin should have disqualified after
granting her a hearing as requested by counsel for Michelle Murphy.
6.2.4.5.1 There are two well established patterns of conduct of the
parties in this case.
6.2.4.5.2 John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud have made
false statements under oath. John Harold Murphy and Renee L.
Haugerud have engaged in other illegal conduct. Their misconduct
continues.
6.2.4.5.3 Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell has converted funds that she
held in trust to her personal use in violation of Uniform Superior Court
Rule 24.9 (8) (g).
6.2.4.5.4 Michelle Murphy has only sought to protect her
constitutional rights and the best interest of the children.
Page 63 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
The record in this case present a great case study for both law,
psychology and economic students and accomplish professionals in a
seminar setting.
6.2.4.6 The approval by Judge Baldwin of the conduct of Elizabeth
“Lisa” F. Harwell who attempted to act with the authority of the Court
without approval in temporarily transferring the custody of the children to
John Harold Murphy when he ceased paying for the transportation of the
children from Newnan to Atlanta to attend their school is relevant to
understanding the unconstitutional conduct of Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell
that is damaging to the best interest of the children.
6.2.4.7 How can a judge who allowed Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell to
serve as guardian ad litem, after her conversion of trust funds in violation of
USCR 2.4.9 (8) (g) and who make false statement in response to a motion
to disqualify him and denied Michelle Murphy a hearing to determine the
necessity for a custody evaluator.
6.2.4.10 In discussing a specific case, Glenn H. Miller, MD, the
psychiatrist stated as follows.
More importantly it harmed the boy. He had recurring nightmares and fears of being taken away and it caused the common-law parents to be frightened that their son would be taken from them. Even if the expert’s examination allowed a deeper understanding of Ely and his family, it did provide information that was relevant to the disposition.
6.2.5 When Judge Baldwin prevented Michelle Murphy from presenting
evidence relating to the necessity for a custody evaluation, while admitting
that he knew anything about what a custody evaluator would involve, or
accomplish Judge Baldwin participated in the John Harold Murphy, the
Page 64 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers’ litigation strategy of attempting to
psychologically destabilize Michelle Murphy, Jack Murphy and Thomas
Murphy.
6.2.5.1 The litigation strategy of John Harold Murphy, financed by Renee
L. Haugerud and carried out by the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers
coincides the business model of the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers
in representing clients who are willing to pay a large amount of legal fees
for the large amount of unnecessary litigation expenses that the Taylor
Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers create.
6.2.5.2 The business model of the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers
requires that each of their numerous lawyer contribute about a $1,000 to
Judge Baldwin during each election cycle even when it is obvious that he
will not have any opposition and to otherwise politically support
supplemental financial funding to Judge Baldwin by Coweta County.
6.2.5.3 Judge Baldwin accords and has accorded in this case the Taylor
Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers preferential treatment that is detrimental to
Michelle Murphy, Jack Murphy, age 15, and Thomas Murphy, age 13.
6.2.5.4 Judge Baldwin has refused to abide by the Uniform Superior
Court Rules.
6.2.5.5 John Harold Murphy has done everything within his ability to
interrupt the lives of the children to the extent that the interruption of the
lives of the children can be used to further his and Renee L. Haugerud’s
litigation goals.
6.2.5.6 John Harold Murphy fails to address the reality that he abandoned
the children in order to further his life of adultery in New York that was
only a continuum of the life of infidelity in other areas of the country. Page 65 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.2.5.7 If counsel for Nancy Michelle Murphy had not persistently
challenged Nancy McGarrah, this “custody evaluation” would have
interrupted the business of Michelle Murphy to the extent that the “custody
evaluation” would have been financially debilitating to Michelle Murphy
and the best interest of the children.
6.2.5.8 The experiment that Judge Baldwin has had with “custody
evaluation” in this case shows a galling disregard for the best interest of
Jack Murphy age 15 and Thomas Murphy age 13, and demonstrates the
necessity for the disqualification of Judge Baldwin.
6.3. The Subpoena Renee L. Haugerud for Production of Evidence
4.3.1 On April 21, 2014 Peter A. Durham, counsel for Renee L.
Haugerud, was served by hand delivery with the subpoena for production
of evidence that he seeks to have the Court quash.
4.3.1.1 The subpoena was served as provided by OCGA § 24-13-24 that
provides as follows.
OCGA § 24-13-24. Service of subpoenas. A subpoena may be served by any sheriff, by his or her deputy, or by any
other person not less than 18 years of age. Proof may be shown by return or certificate endorsed on a copy of the subpoena. Subpoenas may also be served by registered or certified mail or statutory overnight delivery, and the return receipt shall constitute prima-facie proof of service. Service upon a party may be made by serving his or her counsel of record.
6.3.2 The subpoenas required the appearance of Renee L. Haugerud and
production of evidence at a hearings scheduled by Judge A. Quillian
Baldwin, Jr. for May 27, 2014.
6.3.3 There has been a habitual problem with serving Renee L. Haugerud
a.k.a. Lauree Smith, as she with the assistance of Peter A. Durham/Glover
Page 66 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
& Davis lawyers have attempted to evade service by false statements to
process servers and false affidavits.
6.3.3.1 In attempts to evade service of process in this case, Renee L.
Haugerud has identified herself as Lauree Smith and stated that she was
not Renee L. Haugerud to the process server. The children observed
Renee L. Haugerud making a knowing false statement to process server
as Renee L. Haugerud exhibited her tantrum in the lobby of the hotel of
throwing the Third Party Complaint on the floor.
6.3.3.2 Previous to that false statement to the process server by Renee
L. Haugerud, she earlier attempted to evade service at her, then home, at
829 North Bragg Street, Lookout Mountain, Tennessee 37341.
6.3.3.3 Renee L. Haugerud, wealth and apparent feeling of entitlement to
evade service of process was and is derived from Galtere, Ltd, a registered
investment advisor that is headquartered in New York City. Galtera N.A.,
Inc. is the sub-advisor to Galtere, Ltd.
6.3.4 Renee L. Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith has participated in an array
of illegal conduct that is supportive of John Harold Murphy. She now once
again seeks the protection of the laws of Georgia that she has fragrantly
violated.
6.3.4.1 It is understandably that Renee L. Haugerud does not wish to
expose her conduct and participation in the attempts of John Harold
Murphy to financially debilitating and psychologically destabilize this
family that John Harold Murphy abandoned after first engaging in a
swingers lifestyle of adultery.
6.3.4.2 When John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud were
“caring” for the children and the youngest child, Thomas Murphy, Page 67 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
became over intoxicated with alcohol, John Harold Murphy, consistent
with his deceptive character, identified to the hospital that “Renee
Haugerud” was the natural mother of Thomas Murphy see,
Attachment 106.
6.3.4.3 Renee L. Haugerud a/k/a Lauree Smith was participating in
funding the education of Jack Murphy and Thomas before this
educational benefit of these children was withdrawn by John Harold
Murphy as a part of his and the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers’
litigation strategy to financially debilitating and psychologically
destabilize this family in order to prevail in modifying custody of Jack
Murphy and Thomas Murphy who do not wish to live with John Harold
Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud.
6.4. There is a Constitutional Protection of Michelle Murphy that Cannot be Protected Without the Attendance of Renee L. Haugerud at the May 27, 2014 Hearings 6.4.1 Renee L. Haugerud, as counseled by John Harold Murphy, entered into
an illegally conducted marriage ceremony with John Harold Murphy by making
false statements under oath to obtain a marriage license that Judge Louis Jack
Kirby used to conduct and illegal marriage ceremony. This is not the only false
statement under oath made by Renee L. Haugerud during to her relationship
with John Harold Murphy.
6.4.2 Renee L. Haugerud provides residences for John Harold Murphy, and
otherwise financially provides for him. John Harold Murphy is what some
people would call the “kept man” of Renee L. Haugerud. This “kept man” now
seeks to fulfill the needs of Renee L. Haugerud for children whom she does not
have. The children of Michelle Murphy do not wish to become the house “kept
children” of Renee L. Haugerud anywhere and especially not in St. Thomas, Page 68 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
her latest residence that is shared with John Harold Murphy.
6.4.3 Renee L. Haugerud, through financial resources that she derives from
her businesses, funds this litigation for John Harold Murphy. The Taylor
Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers constantly bring new litigation while similar
issues are on appeal. Judge Baldwin becomes angry with counsel for Michelle
Murphy for defending her from his illegal conduct that results from his
favoritism to his campaign contributors and political allies. Judge Baldwin
know that he cannot be examined under oath before an impartial jurist about
his conduct. To compensate Judge Baldwin threatens incarceration for this
mother and her counsel. Such threats are one of the weakest character traits of
a jurist.
6.4.4 The time has arrived for Renee L. Haugerud to tell the world about the
person whom she selected as her husband. He is the person who moved
Michelle Murphy from California to LaGrange, Georgia and left her, when he
left for an adulterous lifestyle in New York. Renee L. Haugerud’s husband is
the person who is attempting to jail the mother who cared for the toddlers whom
John Harold Murphy left in LaGrange. John Harold Murphy, with the aid of
the lawyers for Renee L. Haugerud, is attempting to deplete Michelle Murphy’s
family resources with litigation by requiring her to endure time consuming and
expensive tests with the equivalent accuracy of determining the best interest of
the children with a Quija board.
6.4.5 It will be intellectually interesting to hear the “expert” selected by the
Elizabeth “Lisa” Harwell, explain the methodology that the “expert” used to
determine if it was in the best interest of the children for Renee L. Haugerud
and John Harold Murphy to take one of the children beach walking with them
on a nude beach. This must have been an interesting family outing and Page 69 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
promenade in the best interest of the child and others participating in this peer
review.
6.4.6 It will be intellectually interesting to hear the “expert” explain the
methodology that the “expert” used to determine if it was in the best interest of
the children for Renee L. Haugerud to supply John Harold Murphy the financial
resources to purchase an expensive ear stud for one of the children; Michelle
Murphy strongly opposed piercing his body and displaying pierced hardware.
6.4.7 It will be intellectually interesting to hear the “expert” explain the
methodology that the “expert” used to determine if it was in the best interest of
the children for Renee L. Haugerud to use the children and one of their friends
to tend bar for guests in the Haugerud residence.
6.4.8 It will be intellectually interesting to hear the “expert” explain the
methodology that the “expert” used to determine if it was in the best interest of
the children for Renee L. Haugerud and John Harold Murphy, on every
occasion, to flaunt their wealth to the friends of the children.
6.4.9 It will great to hear Renee L. Haugerud explain to her peers the source
of the funds used to finance her husband’s legal team and the “experts.”
6.4.10 It will be great to hear Renee L. Haugerud explain why she refuses
to take the test of the expert designated by counsel for Michelle Murphy.
6.4.11 It is only Judge Baldwin who does not understand that John Harold
Murphy is once again playing the court system for the same type of
incompetent decision making that he played the
Court when he hid his $180,000.00 in stock
options from Michelle Murphy until one day
after she agreed to a settlement agreement that
was memorialized before Judge Baldwin. Page 70 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.4.12 Judge Baldwin has yet to qualify his Quija board “experts”.
6.4.2. The Glover & Davis Lawyers maintain that they filed their OCGA § 9-11-35 motion against Michelle Murphy for the reason that Michelle Murphy would not present herself to Nancy McGarrah for examination; yet, Renee L. Haugerud never had such examination. 6.4.2.1 Renee L. Haugerud has only participated in an interview although she
has exhibited parenting skills that are far from the best interest of the children,
including participating the withdrawal of funds for the children’s education
once the Complaint for Modification of Custody was filed. There was no reason
for the children to be deprived of the financial educational support that they had
been provided before the Complaint was filed, as a means to obtain litigation
leverage. Between high price legal fee that indirectly support campaign
contributions for judge with no opposition in an election and the educational
and other needs of the children, John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud
did not make a decision in the best interest of the children. If the past is any
clue to the future, it should not take a $30,000 psychologist to tell this story to
Judge Baldwin.
6.4.2.2 There was a just and legal cause for Michelle Murphy not presenting
herself to Nancy McGarrah.
6.4.2.3 Judge A. Quillian Baldwin was presented evidence of this just and
legal cause for Nancy McGarrah being disqualified in a comprehensive motion.
Instead of identifying the just and legal cause for Michelle Murphy not
presenting herself to Nancy McGarrah, Judge Baldwin had someone write for
him as follows in an order that he signed accepting the resignation of Nancy
McGarrah.
In the hearing, Defendant admitted on the stand that she had not cooperated in the custody evaluation in any way.
Page 71 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.4.3.1 This disingenuous statement in the Order of Judge Baldwin
characteristic of Judge Baldwin attempting to deceptively defend his
conduct, as Michelle Murphy in the best interest of the children could not
execute the adhesion contract of Nancy McGarrah.
6.5. After the same hearing, Nancy McGarrah’s counsel filed a motion that
essentially granted the motion of Michelle Murphy to disqualify Nancy
McGarrah by acknowledging as follows.
6.5.1` Nancy McGarrah, for just cause was disqualified as she was not a fairly
selected person with whom Michelle Murphy was required to enter into an
adhesion contract, or be required to exhaust her financial resources to expose
the unfairness and ineptness of Nancy McGarrah, who did not perform any
testing upon Renee L. Haugerud.
6.5.2 Michelle Murphy did not present herself to Nancy McGarrah for
examination because of the adhesion contract that Nancy McGarrah required
Michelle Murphy and her counsel to sign before she would begin her custody
evaluation, additionally due to the financial liability that the contract created
for Michelle Murphy to expose the unfairness of the so called custody
Page 72 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
evaluation, and, further, due to the other illegal conduct encompassing the
selection of Nancy McGarrah, or any custody evaluator selected by Judge
Baldwin and Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, and, in particular, Nancy McGarrah.
6.5.3. At the hearing to determine if a custody evaluator would be appointed,
Judge Baldwin stopped the hearing before counsel for Michelle Murphy was
allowed to complete the cross-examination of the psychiatrist, Patricia Nice,
M.D., who was apparently testifying under the influence of some type of
controlled substance.
6.5.4 Nancy McGarrah was not qualified to render the expert opinion that
Judge Baldwin sought to obtain from her.
6.5.5 Judge Baldwin was not a jurist who is qualified to exercise the
discretion concerning the qualifications of the expert witnesses to render the
opinions for which he is ordering Michelle Murphy to expend resources while
being away from her job and family duties. The concept of qualifying a witness
is apparently not even on the radar screen of Judge Baldwin, as he has never
allowed counsel for Michelle Murphy to explore the “junk science,”
inadmissible testimony of the so called experts. The concept of determining if
evidence from an expert is admissible for consideration is not just determined
by the credentials of the individual, but, for example, the expert witness’
testimony must meet the following test.
Our Supreme Court has enunciated the standards under which a trial court reviews the testimony of an expert witness for admission under former OCGA § 24-9-67.1: In determining the admissibility of expert testimony, the trial court acts as a gatekeeper, assessing both the witness' qualifications to testify in a particular area of expertise and the relevancy and reliability of the proffered testimony. … Reliability is examined
Page 73 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
through consideration of many factors, including whether a theory or technique can be tested, whether it has been subjected to peer review and publication, the known or potential rate of error for the theory or technique, the general degree of acceptance in the relevant scientific or professional community, and the expert's range of experience and training. There are many different kinds of experts and many different kinds of expertise, and it follows that the test of reliability is a flexible one, the specific factors neither necessarily nor exclusively applying to all experts in every case.
Lavelle v. Lab. Corp. of Am., 2014 Ga. App. LEXIS 260, 7-8 (Ga. Ct. App. Mar. 28, 2014) 6.5.6 To determine the admissibility of any expert witness, an extensive right
to examine the witness must be granted. This gives cause for the same testing
of Renee L. Haugerud, as being required of Michelle Murphy.
6.5.7 At the end of this “junk science” testing to determine the only issue,
i.e., the best interest of the children, the testimony is going to be inadmissible.
6.5.8 These “junk science” determinations by persons whom Judge Baldwin
is appointing from some list does not qualify their testimony to be admissible
evidence relating to the “best interest of the children.” There must be an
established, acceptable correlation between the testing and the opinion
rendered; not just the witness’ opinion. There is a deprivation of the United
States equal protection and due process rights of Michelle Murphy, as she
cannot afford the process necessary to defend against the “junk science,” best
interest of the children determination in which she is being required to
participate.
6.5.9 Upon request to Nancy McGarrah, she would not discuss any
information relating to her until after Nancy Michelle Murphy and her
counsel signed an adhesion contract with Nancy McGarrah. This alone is
Page 74 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
adequate justification for not participating with this expert, whom Judge
Baldwin did not qualify before his appointment.
6.5.10 The following was the e-mail from Sarah, Office Manager for Nancy
McGarrah.
6. 5.11 The adhesion contract required by Nancy McGarrah, in part,
contained the following conditions that are repugnant to the rights of Michelle
Murphy and the laws of the State of Georgia when ordered for Michelle
Murphy to execute or be incarcerated, as Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. stated
in an Order filed on November 19, 2013.
6.5.12 The adhesion contract that Nancy McGarrah required to be signed
before she would discuss anything is so repugnant to the public policy of the
State of Georgia, that the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers, in order to
justify the adhesion contract, made a false statement to an appellate court about
the consequences of the contract. The Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis Lawyers
falsely maintained to an appellant court that the adhesion contract required no
more immunity for Nancy McGarrah than provided by law. The section XVII
provision of the contract clearly states, “the Evaluator has immunity from being
held civilly liable for performing her duties.” It further states, “The parties to Page 75 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
this agreement shall not bring any actions for damages or any other claims of
any kind or character against the Evaluator for any acts or omissions under the
terms of this Court Order/Consent Order.” These two provisions of contractual
immunity are in addition to the OCGA § 19-9-3 (a) (7) immunity that does not
exclude “unless such act or failure to act was in bad faith.”
6.5.13 Michelle Murphy was sentenced to jail essentially because she would
not execute a court ordered adhesion contract. The saddest thing about the
sentences for contempt by Judge Baldwin is that neither he nor the Taylor
Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers had enough knowledge of the law to provide
Michelle Murphy her constitutional protections in bringing the motion for
contempt before the Court. Issues relating to the contempt findings by Judge
Baldwin are pending on appeal. The filing of the contempt motions by the
Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers is indicative of the low level of legal
knowledge of these lawyers who obtain relief from Judge Baldwin based upon
political favoritism rather than the law. Judge Baldwin has a financial and
political dependency upon the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers that
disqualifies him from being the “fair” jurist that he maintains he is.
6.5.14 The even sadder point is that Judge Baldwin can stand before the
court workers and five or six deputy sheriffs and look Michelle Murphy in the
eye and proclaim how “fair” that he is. This Judge Baldwin does while he
attempts to create an absence of confidence of Michelle Murphy in her lawyers.
6.5.15 It is the money and political influence provided to Judge Baldwin by
the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers that he has long accepted of a long
period of time that skews Judge Baldwin’ perception of fairness.
Page 76 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.5.16 Judge Baldwin has never seen Renee L. Haugerud, yet he has ordered
that John Harold Murphy can take the children to her wherever John Harold
Murphy pleases.
6.5.17 The Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers are so afraid of John
Harold Murphy being cross-examined that they filed their motion in limine
with their OCGA § 9-11-35 motion and jumped up and down like jacks-in-the
boxes, objecting to numerous questions propounded to John Harold Murphy.

6.5.18. There was No Legal Reason for Granting the Examination of
Michelle Murphy
6.5.19 John Harold Murphy had no reason to support the granting of his
motion for the OCGA § 9-11-35 examination of Michelle Murphy at the
hearing, except that the judge required it. There was no such order by Judge
Baldwin at the time that John Harold Murphy was being cross-examined about
the basis for his, not the Court’s motion, for the OCGA § 9-11-35 examination.
The basis for Judge Baldwin granting the motion for the OCGA § 9-11-35
examination was upon circular reasoning and not any evidence. The motion
for the OCGA § 9-11-35 examination of Nancy Michelle Murphy was a
pretense to avoid the supersedeas relating to the custody evaluation.
6.5.10 The motion for the OCGA § 9-11-35 examination was no more than
a sham in which Judge Baldwin willfully participated.
Page 78 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.5.11 The above information is relevant in determining the Judge Baldwin
standard for both ordering the custody evaulation and the OCGA § 9-11-35
examination. Admitedly, Judge Baldwin’s standard is flawed; however, his
standard should be applied equally if he is to maintain that he is “fair.”
6.6. The time has arrived for an OCGA § 9-11-35 equivalent examination of Renee L. Haugerud. 6.6.1 Allowing this OCGA § 9-11-35 equivalent examination will only be
“fair.” Judge Baldwin has had not problem rendering illegal orders against
Michelle Murphy, Larry King and Millard Farmer.
6.6.2 The Glover & Davis lawyers have never, NEVER, allowed the
deposition or the examination in any form of Renee L. Haugerud, who has run
from service processors like a fugitive on the lam.
6.6.3 It is absurd to require an OCGA § 9-11-35 examination of Michelle
Murphy, the mother who has raised these 15 and 13 year old children since they
were toddlers when John Harold Murphy abandoned the family for a life of
Page 79 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
adultery in New York and not requiring this woman who has never raised a
child, Renee L. Haugerud, to evade the same OCGA § 9-11-35 examination.
6.6.4 The children know best; they know that Renee L. Haugerud is not an
acceptable substitute mother even for purposes of visitation during short
periods of time.
6.6.5 During a recent visit of one of the children with John Harold
Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud, John Harold Murphy informed the child
that if Renee L. Haugerud was subpoenaed in this case, he would have
Nancy Michelle Murphy put in jail. Renee L. Haugerud was in Georgia going
to the Atlanta Airport in route to St. Thomas with one of the children at that
time feared service of a subpoena upon her, as her location in Georgia
was detected.
6.6.6 The child, to whom John Harold Murphy relayed the warning, called
Michelle Murphy twice, to obtain assurance from her that she had obtained
assurance from Millard Farmer that Renee L. Haugerud would not be served
with a subpoena when they were visiting with John Harold Murphy and
Renee L. Haugerud.
6.6.7 The child brokering the “no subpoena service upon Renee L.
Haugerud” commitment has returned from the visit and the commitment of
Millard Farmer not to subpoena Renee L. Haugerud while the children were
away from their mother has expired.
6.6.8 The children, through Michelle Murphy, have obtained other
assurances from Millard Farmer relating to the conduct of Renee L.
Haugerud and John Harold Murphy that are now also not binding, as the
threat of John Harold Murphy has crossed the line and the time for
regulatory diminishing of the power plays of John Harold Murphy has Page 80 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
arrived.
6.6.9 During her examination, the appointed psychologist, Nancy McGarrah,
testified that she had not done any psychological testing of Renee L. Haugerud
and that she had only interviewed her.
6.6.10 Michelle Murphy spent months attempting to inform Judge Baldwin
that Nancy McGarrah should be disqualified. It was not until after her
cross-examination that Nancy McGarrah essentially confessed her
disqualification with a motion to the Court. She was replaced by another
psychologist, H. Elizabeth “Betty” King, who was appointed after once again
being selected by Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, the guardian ad litem who was
caught violating the laws of Georgia relating to funds that she held in trust in
this case.
6.6.11 This psychologist has not provided any interview documents, or her
conditions for examination to Renee L. Haugerud although she has provided
these documents for Michelle Murphy and John Harold Murphy to complete.
6.6.12 Renee L. Haugerud is the person in the residence that the children
were required by Judge Baldwin to visit. The residence had an unprotected,
fully stocked bar in a living area that was left unattended when Renee L.
Haugerud went to another area of the house and John Harold Murphy when he
fell asleep.
6.6.13 When the bar became accessible to the children and their guest, the
younger child obtained and consumed an excessive amount of alcohol to the
extent that he had to be taken to the hospital. It was Renee L. Haugerud who
neither went to the hospital with the child nor called Michelle Murphy to inform
her of the child’s condition.
Page 81 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.6.14 John Harold Murphy initially informed the hospital where the
younger child was taken that Renee L. Haugerud was the natural mother of the
child. It was only the social services person at the hospital who later informed
Michelle Murphy that her child was in the hospital.
6.6.15 It was Renee L. Haugerud who introduced the two children to
alcoholic beverages at a very young age by allowing them and their friends to
tend bar while they were visiting with her.
6.6.16 It was Renee L. Haugerud who paid the younger child approximately
$60 per hour to rub her feet while the children were visiting with her.
6.6.17 It is Renee L. Haugerud who primarily finances the residences in
which she and John Harold Murphy live in St. Thomas, New York,
Minnesota, Tennessee and Atlanta.
6,6.18 It is Renee L. Haugerud who maintains that she is living her “21st life
of entitlement.”
6.6.19 It is the New York based companies of Renee L. Haugerud that
supply the medical insurance for the children, that, once the litigation began,
increased the amount of the medical costs that Michelle Murphy is required to
pay.
6.6.20 It is Renee L. Haugerud who goes with John Harold Murphy to
consult with cardiac medical care providers throughout the world related to his
medical condition.
6.6.21 It was Renee L. Haugerud who swore falsely to obtain her marriage
license in order for Judge Louis Jack Kirby to perform an illegal marriage
ceremony for her and John Harold Murphy.
6.6.22 It was Renee L. Haugerud who made a false statement to the process
server by using a fictitious name in order to evade service of process. Page 82 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
6.6.23 It was Renee L. Haugerud who provided a false affidavit to Peter A.
Durham relating to an ownership interest in real property in the State of
Georgia.
6.6.24 It was Renee L. Haugerud who used corporate assets in order to
transport the children to visit with her and John Harold Murphy.
6.6.25 It was the funds derived from Renee L. Haugerud which paid for the
attendance of the children at the private school in Atlanta and the transportation
of the children from Newnan to Atlanta each school day.
6.6.26 At the time that John Harold Murphy filed for modification of
custody, all of these funds were terminated.
6.6.27. Renee L. Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, is the Chief Investment
Officer of Galtere, Ltd, a registered investment advisor that is
headquartered in New York City. Galtera N.A., Inc. is the sub-advisor to
Galtere, Ltd. (Affidavit of Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith) (R-495)
6,6,28 The Third Party Complaint filed in this case that was dismissed
without adjudication upon the merits by the appellate court contains the
following information relating to the conduct of Renee L. Haugerud that is
relevant to the granting of this motion. The remittitur has not been returned to
the Superior Court of Coweta County in the case and the subpoena was served
upon Peter A. Moulton, as counsel for Renee L. Haugerud. The Third Party
Complaint stated as follows.
TPC Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, resides in a house with John
Harold Murphy in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, as that State provides its
residents exemption from State income tax; she resides in a house in New
York for business purposes; she has a house and ranch in Minnesota for
Page 83 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
business related and social purposes and a place for living in the Atlanta,
Georgia area for other purposes.
TPC-2.2.1 Renee Haugerud, contrary to her affidavit, Attachment TP-2
(R-495) apparently provided to evade jurisdiction of the Court, jointly
holds title to real estate in Georgia with John H. Murphy by virtue of a
Security Deed that vests title in them until the debt of Ebonie S. Wilson is
paid and the Security Deed is satisfied in the real estate record of
the Clerk of the Superior Court of Troup County, Georgia. Attachment
TP-3
TPC-2.2.2 The affidavit (R-495) of Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree
Smith, was sponsored to this Court by Peter A. Durham, a Glover & Davis
lawyer who had counseled Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith about
evading both service of process and evading jurisdiction of the Court.
TPC-2.2.3 Before sponsoring the affidavit (R-495) of Renee Haugerud,
a/k/a Lauree Smith, to the Court, Peter A. Durham, a Glover & Davis
lawyer, with real estate “expertise” had access to both electronic records
and the “expertise” of other Glover & Davis lawyers who also do real
estate title work and transactions.
Page 84 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
TPC-2.2.4 Peter A. Durham, a Glover & Davis lawyer, who sponsored
the affidavit (R-495) of Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith had easy
access to the electronic real estate records before filing the affidavit of
Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith.
TPC-2.2.4.1 There are lawyers at the Glover & Davis law firm who
have had an ownership interest in Georgia Lawyers Insurance
Company who had many years of experience in dealing with real estate
in Georgia. Peter A. Durham could have obtained this available
assistance, if he had chosen to detect if Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree
Smith, has a financial interest in real estate in Georgia.
TPC-2.2.4.2 The Glover & Davis lawyers in this case have accepted
another affidavit for filing from a person who made a sworn false
statement, as Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith made in her
affidavit (R-495).
TPC-2.2.4.3 The point is that the Glover & Davis lawyers were on
notice that Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, and John Harold
Murphy engaged in making false statements under oath and they
possessed the knowledge and resources to detect that the affidavit
(R-495) of Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, was not truthful and
being provided for illegal purposes.
TPC-2.2.4.4 The Glover & Davis lawyers should learn that
John Harold Murphy will participate in placing anyone’s head on a
platter, albeit his lawyers’ heads and apparently now the head of Peter
A. Durham, Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith and once again what
remains of the reputation of the Glover & Davis law firm after the case

of Mayor & Aldermen of Savannah v. Batson-Cook Co., 291 Ga. 114
(2012).
TPC-2.2.4.5 The Glover & Davis lawyers should have just asked
Judge Louis Jack Kirby just how it felt after having his head placed on
a platter over a show-of-status wedding ceremony.
TPC-2.2.5 The following are some examples of the false statements
made under oath by Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith and/or
John Harold Murphy that have been exposed during this litigation, even
before either of these parties have been deposed.
TPC-2.2.5.1 The Court is first reminded of the false statements that
Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith and John Harold Murphy made
in obtaining their marriage license.
TPC-2.2.5.1.1 First, on the left, below, is the Application, followed
on the right by the Marriage License signed by Coweta Judicial Circuit
Judge Jack Kirby. Attachment 7 pp 64-65, to the Addendum to the First
Amended Motion to Disqualify Judge Baldwin. (R-223, 224)
TPC-2.2.5.1.2 These two false statements made under oath place
Judge Louis Jack Kirby’s head on a platter, as the ceremony that he
performed for their marriage was a violation the law of Georgia.
Page 86 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
TPC-2.2.5.1.3 The law of Georgia provides as follows about the
illegal conduct of a marriage with an improper marriage license.
OCGA § 19-3-48. Penalty for officiating at illegal marriage ceremony. If the Governor or any former Governor of this state, any judge, city recorder, magistrate, minister, or other person authorized to perform the marriage ceremony joins together in matrimony any man and woman without a license or the publication of banns or if the person performing the marriage ceremony knows of any disability of either of the parties which would render a contract of marriage improper and illegal, that person shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
TPC-2.2.5.2 The Court should also be reminded of another false
statement that Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith made.
TPC-2.2.5.2.1 The process server provides, in part, the following
sworn information. (Attachment TP-1 to the Response of Nancy
Michelle Murphy to Renee Haugerud’s Motion to Dismiss Third Party
Complaint for Insufficient Service of Process, Lack of Personal
Jurisdiction and Improper Venue)
Page 87 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
TPC-2.2.5.2.2 The conduct of Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith,
in making a false statement about her identity to the court appointed
process server is typical of the gulling by Renee Haugerud,
a/k/a Lauree Smith and John Harold Murphy in an attempt to make the
litigation expensive to Michelle Murphy and to engage in the conduct
of interfering with the custody of the minor children, the contract that
John Harold Murphy had with Michelle Murphy relating to the minor
children and to obstruct justice by attempting to secret from the Court
facts related to the counterclaim of Michelle Murphy to obtain Page 88 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
additional child support by attempting to secret the assets of John
Harold Murphy.
TPC-2.2.5.2.3 Gulling can rise to the level of criminal conduct,
as OCGA § 16-10-20 establishes as follows and as both criminal
predicate act under Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt
Organizations Act, OCGA § 16-14-1 (or, “RICO”) and a civil
predicate RICO violation that is a Georgia tort.
A person who knowingly and willfully falsifies, conceals, or covers up by any trick, scheme, or device a material fact; makes a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or representation; or makes or uses any false writing or document, knowing the same to contain any false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry, in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of state government or of the government of any county, city, or other political subdivision of this state shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine of not more than $1,000.00 or by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than five years, or both.
See also, Haley v. State, 289 Ga. 515, 527-528 (2011) that, in part,
holds as follows.
. . . a defendant need not make his false statement directly to the federal agency with jurisdiction. See, e.g., United States v. Krause, 507 F2d 113, 117 (5th Cir. 1975). Our Court of Appeals has properly construed OCGA § 16-10-20 in this way as well. See Tesler, 295 Ga. App. at 576. Indeed, the statutory language would not bear a construction so tightly linking the false statement and the government agency, since the legislature used the phrase "in any matter within the jurisdiction of" a government agency rather than simply "to" a government agency. Compare e.g., OCGA § 16-10-26("A person who willfully and knowingly
Page 89 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
gives or causes a false report of a crime to be given to any law enforcement officer or agency of this state is guilty of a misdemeanor."). On the other hand, and while there was less consistency on this point, at the time OCGA § 16-10-20 was enacted and substantively amended, several leading federal cases interpreted § 1001 to require that the false statement "inevitably" deceive a federal agency. See Krause, 507 F2d at 117 (citing United States v. Candella, 487 F2d 1223 (1973)). The Second Circuit in Candella had explained that "[c]ase law makes it clear . . . that a violation of § 1001 does not require that the false statement must actually have been submitted to a department or agency of the United States, but rather that it was contemplated that the statement was to be utilized in a matter which was within the jurisdiction of such department or agency." Id. at 1227 (emphasis added) (upholding a conviction under § 1001 where the defendant provided false billing affidavits to the City of New York, rather than directly to the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, because the affidavit stated that the defendant knew the City would rely on it to seek reimbursement from HUD and would make the affidavit available to HUD). Similarly, the Eighth Circuit had held that § 1001 applies not only to a false statement or writing presented to a federal agency, but also to "any knowing making or using of such a statement or document in intended relationship to a matter that is within the jurisdiction of the department or agency." Ebeling v. United States, 248 F2d 429, 434 (1957) (emphasis added). In more explicit terms, we are of the opinion that HN16it constitutes a violation of § 1001, for anyone willfully to make or use a false writing or document, knowing that it contains a false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or entry,
Page 90 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
and intending that it shall bear a relation or purpose as to some matter which is within the jurisdiction of a department or agency of the United States. . . .Id. (emphasis added). See also United States v. Hooper, 596 F2d 219, 223 (7th Cir. 1979) (upholding a § 1001 jury instruction that relied on Ebeling to charge that the false statements or documents must be "used in some intended relationship to a matter within the jurisdiction of the department"); Lowe v. United States, 141 F2d 1005, 1005 (5th Cir. 1944) (reversing the § 1001 conviction of a shipyard employee who made false statements to his private employer, who would be reimbursed by the United States Maritime Commission, where the employee was apparently unaware of that arrangement and, "[i]nsofar as the employee was concerned, every aspect of his employment was exactly the same as it would have been had there been no contract with any government agency of any kind"). We think these decisions construing § 1001 are a good guide to how the General Assembly meant the statute it modeled on that law to be understood. We recognize that in 1980 the former Fifth Circuit took a different view of § 1001. See United States v. Baker, 626 F2d 512, 515-516 (1980). After noting that "[t]he statutory language is simply unclear" as to whether the "knowingly and willfully" requirement modifies the jurisdictional element, the court looked to the "policy and purposes of the law" and concluded that "it is irrelevant whether defendant knew that his intentionally false statements might eventually influence a federal agency." Id. at 515-516 & n. 7. And four years later, the United States Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, held that "proof of actual knowledge of federal agency jurisdiction is not required under§ 1001." See Yermian, 468 U.S. at 75 (relying on the plain language of that statute — with the jurisdiction clause placed at the
Page 91 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
introduction due to the 1948 [**846] revision, see footnote 3 above — and its legislative history). But these decisions do not change our conclusion, for several reasons. First, they came after the enactment of Ga. Code Ann. § 26-2408, the predecessor to OCGA § 16-10-20 in 1976 and its last substantive amendment in 1979 and therefore could not be judicial interpretations the General Assembly considered in drafting the Georgia statute. Second, the subsequent opinions relied heavily on the legislative history and policy of § 1001 to construe that statute. See Yermian, 468 U.S. at 70-74. We have been offered no legislative history of § 16-10-20, and while we often presume that the General Assembly was aware of how courts had previously interpreted the language it included in a statute, we have not presumed that the Georgia legislature is aware of, much less relies on, the legislative history or the "purpose" of other sovereigns' statutes that it uses as a model. Third, the majority in Yermian emphasized that it was deciding only that a defendant was not required to have "actual knowledge" that his false statements came within an agency's jurisdiction, expressly reserving the question whether some lesser degree of mens rea was required. See Yermian, 468 U.S. at 68 n.5 (noting that "[t]he Government never objected to the District Court's instruction requiring proof that respondent reasonably should have known that his false statements were made within the jurisdiction of a federal agency," so that "in this case the Government was required to prove that federal agency jurisdiction was reasonably foreseeable" (emphasis in original)), 75 n.14 (stating that the fact Yermian's jury had to find that "federal agency jurisdiction was reasonably foreseeable by the
Page 92 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
defendant" helped to "preclude[ ] the possibility that criminal penalties were imposed on the basis of innocent conduct"). The dissent also emphasized the point: Seemingly aware of the broad range of conduct that § 1001 could sweep within its scope under today's interpretation, the Court apparently does not hold that the words "in any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States" are jurisdictional words only and that no state of mind is required with respect to federal agency involvement. Instead, the Court suggests that some lesser state of mind may well be required in § 1001 prosecutions in order to prevent the statute from becoming a "trap for the unwary."Yermian, 468 U.S. at 83 (Rehnquist, J., dissenting) (citation omitted; emphasis in original). See also id. at 82 (explaining that it seems "highly unlikely" that Congress "intended to criminalize the making of even the most casual false statements so long as they turned out, unbeknownst to their maker, to be material to some federal agency function. [This] interpretation would substantially extend the scope of the statute even to reach, for example, false statements privately made to a neighbor if the neighbor then uses those statements in connection with his work for a federal agency."). Finally, while pre-1979 judicial interpretations of 18 USC § 1001 suggest how we should read the parallel language the General Assembly put in OCGA § 16-10-20, federal court interpretations of a federal statute do not, in the end, bind this Court's interpretation of a Georgia statute. At a minimum, the decisions in cases like Candella, Ebeling, Hooper, and Lowe, as well as the view of four Justices of the United States Supreme Court in Yermian, show that it is at least reasonable to interpret § 16-10-20 to require the defendant to have some knowledge and intent with respect to
Page 93 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
the potential that a state or local government agency will respond to his false statement. And when the alternative construction would lead to substantial constitutional concerns, that is enough. See Marcus, 249 Ga. at 345. To the extent that these tools of statutory construction leave doubt about the meaning of the statute, moreover, the rule of lenity would require us to interpret it in favor of the defendant. See Harris v. State, 286 Ga. 245, 253 (686 SE2d 777) (2009); Yermian, 468 U.S. at 76, 83 (Rehnquist, J., dissenting). Accordingly, we hold that OCGA § 16-10-20 requires proof that the defendant knowingly and willfully made a false statement and that he knowingly and willfully did so in a matter within the jurisdiction of a state or local department or agency. We reiterate that this does not require proof that the defendant made the false statement directly to the government agency, although in such cases it would normally be undisputed that the defendant knew and intended that the statement came within the jurisdiction of the agency. However, the statute does require the defendant to have made the false statement in some intended relationship to a matter within the state or local agency's jurisdiction, that is, to have contemplated that it would come to the attention of an agency with the authority to act on it. Our holding is consistent with the only Court of Appeals' decision in this area, which properly rejected the defendant's "assert[ion] that [§ 16-10-20] is designed to punish only those false statements made directly to a department or agency of state or local government." Tesler, 295 Ga. App. at 575. The Tesler majority cited and quoted the passages from Candella and Hooper that undergird our holding (although it also cited some post-1979 federal cases). See 295 Ga. App. at 576. Moreover, Judge Blackburn's special concurrence did not suggest that no knowledge of government jurisdiction is
Page 94 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
required; to the contrary, he believed that the false statement at issue needed to be made directly to a state agency to avoid the sort of overcriminalization concerns that our construction of the statute also seeks to preclude. See id. at 578-579. (c) When OCGA § 16-10-20 is construed as we conclude it should be, Haley's constitutional claims dissipate. It is debatable whether a false statement, standing alone, lacks any First Amendment protection, as discussed at length by the majority and dissenting opinions in United States v. Alvarez, 617 F3d 1198 (9th Cir. 2010). However, a knowingly and willfully false statement that is made knowingly and willfully in a matter within a government agency's jurisdiction is a lie that threatens to deceive and thereby harm the government, if only because the government may need to expend time and resources to determine the truth. See id. at 1212-1213. Such harm would not be self-inflicted by the government, as might be said if an agency reached out to act on a false statement someone made without any expectation that it would reach the government. Instead, the State may lawfully punish such a course of potentially deceptive and injurious conduct. See Cox v. Louisiana, 379 U.S. 536, 555 (85 SCt 453, 13 LE2d 471) (1965) (HN22"'[I]t has never been deemed an abridgement of freedom of speech or press to make a course of conduct illegal merely because the conduct was in part initiated, evidenced, or carried out by means of language, either spoken, written, or printed.'" (citation omitted)). Thus, Haley acknowledges that § 16-10-20 would be constitutional if the false statement is "intended for a government agency or department and/or . . . made with the intent of causing some harm." We believe our construction of the statute ensures that result. Likewise, as properly construed, § 16-10-20 may only be applied to conduct that persons of common
Page 95 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
intelligence would know was wrongful because it could result in harm to the government

to the State of Georgia for just one of the purposes of determining the
Court’s jurisdiction.
TPC-3.1.2 The Hawker 850XP jet airplane made at least the
indicated trips from February through September 8, 2012. (see next
pages)
Page 97 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
TPC-3.1.3 The names of the pilots and other information related to
the flights of this jet airplane from 07/31/2008 are not included here.
This is the same jet airplane that Judge Louis Jack Kirby was
describing that is used by Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith and
John Harold Murphy to bring the children from Atlanta, KFTY to
Chattanooga, KCHA.
TPC-3.1.4 The letter “K” that precedes the various airport codes,
such as “KCHA,” can be disregarded, it will identify the commercial
code abbreviation that most people recognize, e.g., “KCHA” is
“CHA,” Chattanooga, Tennessee and KCCO is Newnan Coweta
County.
TPC-3.1.4 Judge Jack Kirby testified, in part, as follows about the use of the airplane.
Page 28 18: A. Yeah. I understand that he uses it to get 19: his children for visitation. That's what I've been 20: told.
Page 98 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
TPC-3.1.5 Some of the recent trips by this airplane are listed
below. Over twenty (20) trips to Georgia by the airplane are
documented from February to September 8 during 2012, with an
approximate proportionally equal amount in 2011.
Page 99 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
[List of flights continue on next page]
Page 100 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
TPC-3.1.6 The flight history of this airplane also assists in showing the
relationship that Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, has with the State
of Georgia. This airplane is used by Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith,
in her conduct of interfering with the settlement agreement contract of
Page 101 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Michelle Murphy with John Harold Murphy, that the children cannot be
transported outside of the State of Georgia and to engage in other conduct
with the children that is not in their best interest.
TPC-3.1.7 Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, interferes with the
custody of the children by transporting the children across the country
where they engage in alcoholic beverage parties.
TPC-3.1.7.1 Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, participated with
John Harold Murphy in using Jack Murphy, Thomas Murphy and one
of the children’s friends, who was transported across state lines, as
bartenders who mixed alcoholic beverages that were served to adult
guests at the party, who participated in this conduct with these minor
children.
TPC-3.1.7.2 According to the mother of the friend of the children,
Jack Murphy and Thomas Murphy drank portions of the alcoholic
beverages that they were mixing and serving to adults, as these children
were not supervised, as required by law.
TPC-3.1.7.3 Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, has participated
with John Harold Murphy in threatening Jack Murphy to sign a
perjurious affidavit relating to his conduct with alcoholic beverages in
a location that the children were transported across the state line in a
aircraft under the control of Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith.
TPC-3.1.7.4 This conduct by Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith,
and John Murphy relating to the alcoholic beverages was contributing
to the delinquency of minor children to the extent that the mother of the
friend who made the trip has prohibited her son from traveling any
Page 102 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
longer in the care of John Murphy and Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree
Smith.
TPC-3.1.8 Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, has participated with
John Harold Murphy in threatening Jack Murphy to sign a document
stating that he wished to live with Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith,
and John Harold Murphy for thirteen (13) days a month or
John Harold Murphy would never see Jack Murphy again in life. This
threat occurred during a weekend visit of the children to the home owned
by Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee
between July 28, 2012 and July 29, 2012.
TPC-3.1.9 Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, has participated
with John Harold Murphy in sending the children home on Sunday,
July 29, 2012 in the unwashed, dirty clothes which they originally wore
when they left their home in Newnan, Georgia on Friday, July 27, 2012.
TPC-3.1.10 It is highly relevant to this case that John Harold Murphy
and Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith are attempting to bring the
children into an environment that appropriates money to purposes not
allowed by law. This is not in the best interest of the children.
TPC-3.1.11 It is highly relevant to this case that the money of
Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith, is being used to appease
John Harold Murphy in making the life of Michelle Murphy so miserable
that she will surrender her obligation of the children into a lifestyle of
illegal conduct.
TPC-1.12 For example, Michelle Murphy cannot style enough hair to
even pick up the tab for one $1,000 evening restaurant meal that
Page 103 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Renee Haugerud, a/k/a Lauree Smith’s, business finances for the children
and their driver.
7. Taylor Drake, once again, on March 27, 2014 Dictating to Judge
Baldwin and Elizabeth “Lisa’ F. Harwell as follows.
7.1 Taylor Drake’s e-mail, a personally insulting response to opposing
counsel, was copied to Judge Baldwin as a directive and slam at opposing
counsel in order to raise Judge Baldwin’s anger level. This e-mail follows
the request below of counsel for Nancy Michelle Murphy to Elizabeth
“Lisa” F. Harwell, the guardian ad litem relating to Harriette Elizabeth
"Betty" King. From: Millard Farmer [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2014 2:15 PM To: [email protected]; 'Lazzaroni, Teresa'; 'Taylor Drake'; [email protected]; 'Peter Durham'; 'Poplin, Robbie'; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Response to Inquiry about CE Hi Lisa, I received your e-mail this morning. I looked at the impressive curriculum vitae and thought the research would be easy. The research has once again scared my mule. I have to bite my tongue to restrain my initial comments. I must work outside the perimeter the remainder of the week and have a lengthy appointment with an expert witness on Monday. We will have responses to our research and be able to respond to you by Tuesday. Millard [email protected] 404 688-8116
The e-mail response of Taylor Drake follows.
Millard:
Page 104 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Neither your input or my input is relevant. Judge Baldwin instructed the guardian to make a recommendation on a substitute custody evaluator and she has done so. The new custody evaluator should be appointed ASAP based upon the guardian’s recommendation. Once the order is entered, I am confident you will seek to appeal it as you have done every other order in this case or you will seek to disqualify this evaluator just like you tried to disqualify the initial evaluator. These ongoing delay tactics should not be tolerated.
Taylor
7.2 Taylor Drake informed counsel for Michelle Murphy that essentially
there was nothing that Michelle Murphy and her counsel could present to
affect the proposed selection of Harriette Elizabeth “Betty” King by
Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, as the guardian ad litem.
7.3 Knowing that Taylor Drake, acting on behalf of John Harold
Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud, essentially controls the decision making
and the Orders entered and attempted to be enforced with contempt of court
sanctions by Judge Baldwin and Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, the guardian
ad litem, counsel bring this plea and motion to the Court in order for
Michelle Murphy or her counsel to again avoid the fate of Larry King being
held in direct criminal contempt of court and fined $1,000 before he was
released from custody.
7.4 After paying the $1,000 fine that was returned to him, the contempt
finding was vacated, as Judge Baldwin admitted that he was “mad” when
he entered the direct contempt Order.
7.5 Counsel for Nancy Michelle Murphy have obtained a source of
information concerning reasons that counsel for Michelle Murphy should
be allowed to present evidence relating to both the necessity and Page 105 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
appropriateness of Harriette Elizabeth "Betty" King, a psychologist using
the moniker of “custody evaluator” being designated by the Court to
perform a OCGA § 9-11-35 examination or a custody evaluation.
7.5.1 Harriette Elizabeth "Betty" King does not receive high ratings from
her clients and information has been provided to counsel for Michelle
Murphy from a professional who has knowledge of Harriette Elizabeth
"Betty" King that reflect poorly upon her ability to perform the tasks sought
from her. Supporting information is being sought from a professional who
must obtain client waivers before providing the information. She has
engaged in spoliation of evidence in a case involving her professional
opinion.
7.5.2 Nancy McGarrah, the formerly appointed psychologist, to perform
the tasks that Harriette Elizabeth "Betty" King is being assigned to perform
after creating a large amount of litigation expenses for Nancy Michelle
Murphy, finally acknowledged, what was suspected of her from the
beginning, i.e. she could not be impartial.
7.5.3 The motion from counsel for Nancy McGarrah was, in part, as
follows.
The entire Motion for Nancy McGarrah is in the record as Attachment 102. Page 106 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
7.5.4 The book, A Mother’s Journal, Let My Children Go by Wendy
Titelman indentifies one the cases that Harriette Elizabeth "Betty" King was
involved.
7.5.5 Counsel for Michelle Murphy requested the right to present
evidence to the Court relating to the ability of Harriette Elizabeth "Betty"
King to harvest unbiased information in this case, the cost to perform the
task ordered by Judge Baldwin, the cost to Michelle Murphy to defend or
use the information obtained, and the value of the conclusions reached by
Harriette Elizabeth "Betty" King. The Court would not allow her testimony
at the May 27, 2014 hearing when this witness was in the witness room.
7.5.6 Judge Baldwin has no concept of the scope of what he is ordering,
the accuracy of the opinions rendered, or frankly anything else about what
is going on related to such examination.
7.5.6.1 Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell is mad because she was exposed for
converting money to her personal use in violation of Uniform Superior
Court Rule 24.9 (8) (g) and her violation of the laws of Georgia related to
adultery and seeks to continue retaliation against Michelle Murphy and her
counsel, as she did by attempting to illegally order Michelle Murphy to
temporarily transfer the children to John Harold Murphy and Renee L.
Haugerud in order that the children could attend school in Atlanta. Elizabeth
“Lisa” F. Harwell ordered this illegal change of custody rather than
suggesting to John Harold Murphy to continue providing transportation for
the children from Newnan to Atlanta, which was within the scope of her
authority.
7.5.6.2 Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell is beholding to John Harold
Murphy’s former divorce attorney and friend, Judge Louis Jack Kirby. Page 107 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
7.5.6.3 Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, through November of 2013 has
billed over $13,000 for her fees and expenses and has not supplied her
current bill. Attachment 98.
7.5.6.4 Nancy McGarrah billed $1,800 to Michelle Murphy in addition
to receiving her witness fee for her testimony on Monday, March 17, 2014
that resulted in her admission that she could not serve impartially.
Attachment 99.
7.5.6.5 If there is to be an OCGA § 9-11-35 examination required of
anyone, it should be of Renee L. Haugerud by a qualified professional who
is familiar with the cult involving persons who claim to be in their 21st life
of entitlement.
7.5.6.6 When John Harold Murphy took Thomas Murphy to the hospital,
he had Renee L. Haugerud entered on the hospital form as the “mother” of
Thomas Murphy. Renee L. Haugerud is a relevant person who counsel for
Nancy Michelle Murphy should be allowed to examine. She evaded service
of process for months with the assistance of the false statements of Peter
A. Durham of Glover & Davis.
7.5.6.7 It is money originating from Renee L. Haugerud that has fueled
the six or more lawyers who include the lawyers engaging in such illegal
conduct as ex parte communications with Judge Baldwin and false
statements to the appellate courts.
8 We are at a similar pivotal point to the time when Coweta Judicial Circuit
Superior Court Judge Louis Jack Kirby advised John Harold Murphy that
Taylor Drake was a good attorney for him to employ to bring an action
against Nancy Michelle Murphy to modify custody.
Page 108 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
8.1 Coweta Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge Louis Jack Kirby was
a poor decision maker when he engaged in providing legal advice to John
Harold Murphy for him to bring a specific cause of action against a specific
person in the Superior Court Judge that he served as a judge.
8.2 At the time of Judge Louis Jack Kirby’s advice to John Harold
Murphy, Judge Kirby had knowledge that John Harold Murphy had sworn
falsely in secreting $180,000 in stock options from Michelle Murphy during
the divorce proceedings in which then Louis Jack Kirby represented John
Harold Murphy. His representation to the court and Michelle Murphy that
did not include the $180,000 value of stock options that were cashed one
day after the settlement agreement was announced in open court, and was
as follows.
8.3 At the time of Judge Louis Jack Kirby’s advice to John Harold
Murphy, in or before 2012, Judge Kirby had knowledge that John Harold
Murphy had attempted to retain the value of a Qualified Domestic Relations
Order that resulted in a legal malpractice action against Delia Tedder
Crouch, the lawyer for Nancy Michelle Murphy in the divorce. This action
was brought by Millard Farmer; the required expert witness in the case was
Larry King.
8.4 At the time of Judge Louis Jack Kirby’s advice to John Harold
Murphy, Judge Kirby had knowledge that the Superior Court of Coweta
County did not have a Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1 case management
Page 109 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
rule and that the attorneys suggested to John Harold Murphy knew how to
judge shop and obtain the judge of their choice, as was accomplished
initially, and upheld in the Court of Appeal by Mayor & Aldermen of
Savannah v. Batson-Cook Co., 310 Ga. App. 878 (2011), until reversed by
the Supreme Court of Georgia in May of 2012.
8.5 At the time of Judge Louis Jack Kirby’s advice to John Harold
Murphy, Judge Kirby had performed an illegal marriage ceremony for John
Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud in Walker County, Georgia with a
marriage license that these two Tennessee residents had obtain by giving
false oaths to the Probate Court of Troup County in their marriage license
application.
8.6 Superior Court Judge Louis Jack Kirby is such a poor decision
maker that he was also acting outside the ethical bounds of the law in other
matters, during the time period in which he advised John Harold Murphy
about selecting an attorney.
8.6.1 Upon information and belief, Judge Kirby modified the
September 17, 2010, $100,000 bond provide to Casey Allen Spradlin that
was conditioned upon that accused person not having contact with a
specific minor child.
8.6.2 In that case, Casey Allen Spradlin was charged with malice
murder, murder and other related charges relating to the death of an
infant. The modified bond authorized by Judge Louis Jack Kirby was in
a case tried by Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr.
8.6.3 The illegal conduct occurred because the modification of the bond
was not filed in the records of the Superior Court of Meriwether County,
as the original Order relating to the bond was filed. Page 110 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
8.6.4 It is suspected, but not known, that the District Attorney was not
advised of the modified conditions of the bond before the bond was
modified for Casey Allen Spradlin. It is also not known when or if Judge
Baldwin, as the trial judge in the case, became knowledgeable about the
modification of the bond conditions which was not filed with the Court.
It is known that the records of the Superior Court of Meriwether County
do not reflect the modification of the bond conditions.
8.6.5 The poor ethical and legal decision making of Judge Louis Jack
Kirby was in not filing the conditions of the modified bond in order that
the people would know of this judicial act by Judge Kirby. It is suspected
that the bond was modified by Judge Kirby as a judicial favor not
supported by evidence that the District Attorney was allowed to contest.
Had this been determined to be in the best interest of society, an Order
modifying the body conditions would have alerted persons having an
interest in other minor children such as the Department of Family and
Children Services.
8.6.6 Judge Kirby, according to assertions and rank hearsay, also did
not inform his wife, who is an assistant district attorney in the Coweta
Judicial Circuit, of his conduct in modifying the condition of the bond for
Casey Allen Spradlin.
8.6.7 The conduct of Judge Louis Jack Kirby is relevant to the conduct of
Chief Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, as Judge Kirby, under the current Uniform
Superior Court Rule 3.1, is assigned to the Superior Court of Coweta County
in a disproportionate number of case.
8.6.8 It is relevant that the guardian ad litem, with her private clients has
a higher amount of her cases heard by Judge Kirby and Judge Baldwin that Page 111 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
would occur if other judges in the Coweta Judicial were equally assigned to
Coweta County. It is the conflict that the guardian ad litem,
Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell has with appearing before Judge Kirby in her
private cases that exacerbates the participation of Judge Kirby in advising
John Harold Murphy and Judge Baldwin appointing a guardian ad litem who
appears regularly before Judge Kirby.
8.6.9 We are at a similar pivotal point in time to when Taylor Drake
judge shopped and selected Judge A. Quillian Baldwin for this case that
Judge Baldwin, over strong objections of counsel for Nancy Michelle
Murphy, signed without reading the Order prepared by Taylor Drake, with
only Taylor Drake’s handwritten modifications, appointing Melissa Griffis
as the guardian ad litem. Judge Baldwin, Taylor Drake and Melissa Griffis
knew that the night before Judge Baldwin assigned the Order that he had
attended a fund raising political gathering for a candidate in a judicial
election sponsored by Taylor Drake and Melissa Griffis.
8.6.9.1 Judge Baldwin was a poor decision maker when he did not
provide counsel for Nancy Michelle Murphy a hearing on the appointment
of the guardian ad litem, that even the Taylor Drake motion seeking the
appointment acknowledged should be granted if there was any dispute about
the guardian ad litem designated.
8.6.9.2 Judge Baldwin was a poor decision maker when he did not even
read the marked through portions of the Taylor Drake, computer generated
Order before he signed the Order, as Taylor Drake did not permit counsel
for Michelle Murphy to view the portions of the Taylor Drake, computer
generated Order that he had marked through before Judge Baldwin signed
Page 112 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
without reading the original or stricken portion of the Taylor Drake,
computer generated Order.
8.6.9.3 We are at a similar point in time as when Millard Farmer and
Larry King, immediately after Judge Baldwin signed the appointment of
the guardian ad litem Order, scheduled a meeting with Melissa Griffis and
Taylor Drake in the presence of a court reporter.
8.6.9.3.1 It was poor decision making by the just appointed state actor,
Melissa Griffis, not to allow the court reporter to record the meeting. It was
poor decision making by Melissa Griffis to leave the room upon viewing
the court reporter and allow Taylor Drake to accompany her back into the
room with the directive, “We are not going to allow a court reporter to be
present.”
8.6.9.3.2 The poor decision making by Melissa Griffis resulted in the
filing of the initial motion to disqualify Judge Baldwin.
8.6.10 We are at a similar point in time as when, on the same day that
an extensive motion to disqualify Melissa Griffis was prepared, Melissa
Griffis resigned and prepared an Order for Judge Baldwin to sign that
appointed Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, that Judge Baldwin signed without
consulting counsel for Nancy Michelle Murphy, who had already moved to
disqualify him.
8.6.10.1 Judge Baldwin was a poor decision maker when, on
June 18, 2012, with a June 13, 2012 motion to disqualify him pending, he
accepted Melissa Griffis’s resignation and appointed Elizabeth “Lisa” F.
Harwell as the guardian ad litem, in violation of Uniform Superior Court
Rule 25 et seq. and the well established law.
Page 113 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
8.6.10.2 Judge Baldwin was a poor decision maker when he accepted
the recommendation of one of the lawyers whom Superior Court Jack Kirby
recommended to represent John Harold Murphy, Melissa Griffis, to select
the replacement guardian ad litem without providing counsel for Michelle
Murphy an opportunity to provide his objections to the selection of
Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell.
8.6.10.3 Judge Baldwin was a poor decision maker in appointing a
guardian ad litem who engaged in the criminal offense of adultery and the
conversion of funds held in trust to her person use to provide moral and legal
guidance “in the best interest of the children.” Who wants this type of person
making decisions in the best interest of their children? Elizabeth “Lisa” F.
Harwell, the appointed guardian ad litem testified, in part, as follows before
Judge Baldwin on November of 2012.
Page 114 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Page 115 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Page 116 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Page 117 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Page 118 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Page 119 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
8.6.10.4 Judge Baldwin was a poor decision maker in appointing a
guardian ad litem who attempted to use the illegal authority provided to
Melissa Griffis in order to attempt to change custody temporarily for the
children to go to a school in Atlanta at the request of Taylor Drake and John
Harold Murphy.
8.6.10.5 Judge Baldwin was a poor decision maker; in fact, he is an
unethical decision maker, in appointing a guardian ad litem who appeared
on a regular basis before Judge Louis Jack Kirby, the person who
represented John Harold Murphy during the divorce.
8.6.10.6 The decision making by Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell to attempt
to change custody temporarily was poor on both a legal basis and on a
practical basis, as it was John Harold Murphy who withdrew the
transportation that he had been providing for the children to go to the Atlanta
school.
8.7 We are at a similar point in time to when there was a hearing that Page 120 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Judge Baldwin terminated with a rant that John Harold Murphy could take
the children to Russia, if he wished.
9. The Clerk of the Superior Court of Coweta, as mandated by the newly
enacted USCR 3.1 plan, assigned this case to Judge Dennis H. Blackmon.
9.1 The Clerk of the Superior Court of Coweta County, after confirming
to the Court of Appeals that the Superior Court of Coweta County did not
have a USCR 3.1 plan, confirmed to the Court of Appeals that Coweta
Judicial Circuit Judge Dennis Blackmon was appointed under the newly
enacted USCR 3.1 plan. (V7, p.1435)
9.2 The letter from the Clerk of Superior Court of Coweta confirming
to the Court of Appeals that this case was assigned to Coweta Judicial
Circuit Judge Dennis Blackmon follows.
Page 121 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
9.3 As the result of the assignment of this case to Judge Dennis H.
Blackmon by the Clerk of Court of the Superior Court of Coweta County,
this Court, as presided over by Judge Baldwin, does not have personal
jurisdiction of Nancy Michelle Murphy.
Page 122 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
9.4 There was the absence of personal jurisdiction of the parties by Judge
A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. after the adoption by the Circuit Judges of a
USCR 3.1 plan and the assignment of the case to Judge Dennis Blackmon.
9.5 Nancy Michelle Murphy again pleas to the personal jurisdiction of
this Court presided over by Judge Baldwin and her subjection to his
appointee, Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell, as guardian ad litem.
9,6 The Clerk of the Superior Court of Coweta County, after confirming
to the Court of Appeals that the Superior Court of Coweta County did not
have a USCR 3.1 plan, confirmed to the Court of Appeals that Judge
Blackmon was appointed under the newly enacted USCR 3.1 plan. (V7,
p.1435)
9,7 Judge Blackmon rejected the appointment by the Clerk of Court of
the Superior Court (V8, p.1670) under the Circuit’s newly enacted
USCR 3.1 plan and, unbelievably, illegally, with no force and effect
illegally attempted to, “transfer” the case back to Judge Baldwin (V7,
p.1503) without complying with USCR 3.1, that requires the Clerk of Court
to make the case assignments according to USCR 3.1.
9.8 Horn v. Shepherd, 294 Ga. 468, 472-473 (2014) on a relevant
judicial qualification issue, states, “no judge was authorized to rule on the
GAL's pending contempt motion against Husband . . . .”.
9.9 The hearing that resulted in the August 23, 2013 Custody Evaluator
appointment Order, as did the October 3, 2013 hearing that resulted in the
contempt Orders, occurred while there were four pending disqualification
motions against Judge Baldwin, upon which he had failed to rule or refer to
another judge. (V3, p.436; V10, p.1904; V11, p.2195; V14, p.2890) (infra,
p. 26) Page 123 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
9.10 For the reason that there is a supersedeas in effect during the appeal
of the Order that resulted in the appointment of the custody evaluator, there
were pending motions to disqualify Judge Baldwin and there were illegal
Orders issued by Judge Baldwin after the case was assigned by the Clerk of
Court to Judge Blackmon, as confirmed to the Court of Appeals. Judge
Baldwin and Elizabeth “Lisa F. Harwell are without personal jurisdiction of
Nancy Michelle Murphy.
10 As the result of the ex parte communication of Nan Freeman, the court
reporter for cases before Judge Baldwin, the transcription of the calendar
call was prevented and counsel for Nancy Michelle Murphy was abusively
treated by Judge Baldwin in open court.
10.1 Judge Baldwin came into the courtroom apparently mad about the
request, as he must have believed that it was in furtherance of a challenge
to the biased judge selection conduct and the connection between the private
cases of Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell with Judge Louis Jack Kirby.
10.2 The transcript picks up at that point, as follows.
Page 124 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Page 125 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
10 .3 The above incident occurred during the time that there were a number
of disqualification motions pending against Judge Baldwin that he refused
to refer to another judge for adjudication.
10.4 Millard Farmer, after the hearing, requested that Nan Freeman, the
court reporter, allow him to purchase the audio recording of the above
transcribed event. Nan Freeman acknowledged that she had the recording,
but refused the request.
10.5 The office of Judge Baldwin just informed counsel that the audio of
the latest temper tantrum of Judge Baldwin is being sent to counsel.
This motion will be amended upon receipt of the audio recording.
Conclusion
The conduct of Judge A. Quillian Baldwin is far worse than just a breach
of his oath of office, his violations of the Code of Judicial Conduct, his
violations of the Uniform Superior Court Rules and his violations of the Page 126 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
laws of Georgia involving conduct that should remove him from this case
and subject him to action that will prevent his continuance of this conduct.
1.1.1.1 The Georgia Code of Judicial Conduct, in part, provides as
follows.
• E. Disqualification.
o (1) Judges shall disqualify themselves in any proceeding in which their impartiality might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to instances where:
COMMENTARY:
(a) the judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a party's lawyer, or personal knowledge of disputed evidentiary facts concerning the proceeding; * * *
(viii) any factor relevant to the issue of campaign contributions or support that causes the judge's impartiality to be questioned.
Ga. Code of Judicial Conduct 3
* * *
Page 127 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
1.1.1.1.1 Judge Baldwin had never provided counsel for Michelle Murphy
information about the advice that he has received applicable to this
proceeding before the court. Upon information and belief, Judge Baldwin
has consulted with an individual about aspects of this proceeding. This and
other reasons related to the defense of Judge Baldwin related to his
disqualification are viable reasons that counsel for Michelle Murphy is
entitled to examine Judge Baldwin under oath relating to this
disqualification motion.
1.1.1.2 Judge Baldwin violates the Uniform Rules of the Superior Court
USCR Rule 3.1 provides as follows.
USCR 3.1. Method of assignment (Case Management) In multi-judge circuits, unless a majority of the judges in a circuit elect to adopt a different system, all actions, civil and criminal, shall be assigned by the clerk of each superior court according to a plan approved by such judges to the end that each judge is allocated an equal number of cases. The clerk shall have no power or discretion in determining the judge to whom any case is assigned; the clerk's duties are ministerial only in this respect and the clerk's responsibility is to carry out the method of assignment established by
Page 128 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
the judges. The assignment system is designed to prevent any persons choosing the judge to whom an action is to be assigned; all persons are directed to refrain from attempting to affect such assignment in any way. If the order or the timing of filing is a factor in determining case assignment, neither the clerk nor any member of the clerk's staff shall disclose to any person the judge to whom a case is or will be assigned until such time as the case is in fact filed and assigned.
Judge Baldwin was initially selected as the judge in this case in
violation of USCR 3.1 (case management).
Uniform Superior Court Rule 25 provides the method to be used after a
disqualification motion of a judge is filed.
Judge Baldwin totally violates the mandates of the Rule 25 and fails
even to bring his conduct of rendering Orders based only upon unsworn
and unauthenticated assertions provided by the Taylor Drake/ Glover
& Davis lawyers.
L. Haugerud were attempting to uphold on behalf of Judge Baldwin, whom
someone, apparently incorrectly, led to believe as follows.
And I’m not going to recuse myself. I’ll tell you right now, I’m not going to recuse myself. And I’m going to put in there -- because y’all have already had your chance on recusal. It’s been appealed. They upheld me staying in this case and not recusing myself. And we’re just going to keep it like that. [emphasis supplied] Oct 3, 2013 Tr. p. 17 line 4
2.3.4 The “they upheld me” proclamation of Chief Judge Baldwin
referred only to a dismissal of an appeal because the legislature amended
OCGA § 5 6-34 (a)(11) while an appeal of Chief Judge Baldwin’s
disqualification motion was pending.

3 Reasonable Litigants Should Realize the Time is Now to Resolve this Dispute. 3.1 John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud have found a residence
in St. Thomas. Michelle Murphy and the children have their residence near
where John Harold Murphy abandoned them to begin living in New York
and other places.
3.2 The parties cannot engage in settlement negotiations so long as
Respondents continue attempting to put Michelle Murphy in jail and
Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. fuels the fire as if his dominance as judge in
this case can continue. Disputes are best resolved among the parties with
guidance of counsel.
3.3 It is only John Harold Murphy, funded by Renee L. Haugerud, who
wishes this assault upon the lives of Jack Murphy, age 15, and Thomas
Murphy, age 13, to continue.
Horn v. Shepherd identifies the issues that the Courts will not tolerate.

November 26, 2013 Consolidated Motion for Disqualification of Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr.
6.5 In making a decision about referring, or not, this motion to another
judge for adjudication, Judge Baldwin should reflect upon the highly
inappropriate advice that he gave to Nancy Michelle Murphy about
Page 131 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
allowing the lives of her children to be adjudicated by him. Judge Baldwin
should remember his words to Nancy Michelle Murphy, “you don’t have
anything to fear if everything is alright.”
But let me just talk again to the parties. Do y'all want to keep putting all this money out here, fussing about this thing? I mean, again, if you don't have anything to fear, if everything is all right, and everything's been done the way it's supposed to be done, you don't have anything to fear about losing custody of the children. And I just wanted to know if y'all really want to just keep dragging this out like this. You know, y'all can spend money to kingdom come, that kind of thing. And there's no kind of guarantee that I'm going to award any attorney's fees, you know, to cover any of this stuff. There's nothing that requires me to do that. And so I just want y'all to think about that. (Tr. Aug. 30, 2012, p. 29, lines 2-15)
The failure of Judge Baldwin and the other judges in the Coweta Judicial
Circuit to implement and adhere to Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1 was
an insult to the dignity of the Clerk of Superior Court of Coweta County
Cindy Brown, as she was required to provide a response to an open records
request that identified that Judge Baldwin was not selected in this case as
required by Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1.
7.3 Cindy Brown responded, with a copy to Judge Baldwin, that there was
no Uniform Superior Court Rule 3.1 case management plan as follows.
Page 132 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
7.4 Cindy Brown could not legally or politically do anything about the
failure of the judges to implement a case management plan; however,
apparently through some type of further insult to her dignity, Cindy Brown,
very inappropriately wrote a letter to the Clerk of the Court of Appeals in
an attempt to derail an adjudication against Judge Baldwin that was as
follows.
Page 133 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
7.4.1 Judge Blackmon responded to the representation of Cindy Brown,
Clerk of Superior Court as follows.
Page 134 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
7.4.2 These communications were an insult to the dignity of the Clerk of
Court of Appeals by Cindy Brown, or those coaching her, believing that
this letter could cause a dismissal of the case of Michelle Murphy in the
Court of Appeals with a letter from the Clerk of Court.
7.4.3 The untenable position of the persons whose dignity was insulted
was created, in part, by the conduct of Judge Baldwin in placing himself in
the position to be selected by the Glover & Davis lawyers due to the
absence of a case management plan.
8. Judge Baldwin habitually engages in conduct that insults the dignity of Jack Murphy, age 15, and Thomas Murphy, age 13. 8.1 These children are not commodities that can be traded as Renee L.
Haugerud engages in her hedge fund business.
8.2 Judge Baldwin should reflect upon the mental anguish that he created
for these children, Jack Murphy, age 15, and Thomas Murphy, age 13, and
the financial hardship that he has imposed upon their mother.
8.2.1 The financial disparity in the resources of Michelle Murphy and
John Harold Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud seems to have never phased
Judge Baldwin, as he habitually creates litigation events that are expensive
and do nothing, but display the absence of Judge Baldwin’s
judicial temperament that disrespects the dignity of those whom he affects.
8.2.2 In open court, Judge Baldwin insults the dignity of the legal system.
8.2.3 At the August 13, 2013 hearing, Judge Baldwin reconfirmed his
intent relating to the disposition of his disqualifying conduct as follows.
Page 135 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
(Tr. Aug. 13, 2013 p. 27 line 8)
8.2.4 Judge Baldwin continues to threaten his prejudgment of the case as
he insults the dignity of counsel and their client as follows.
Now, I don’t know if your client is paying you. Y’all may be eating all this stuff. But I’ll tell you what. Because of all this stuff, I’m unlikely to give you any attorney’s fees so y’all are working on this thing on your own money if you’re doing all of this. [Oct. 3, 2013 Tr.pp. 17-18,emphasis supplied]
8.2.5 Judge Baldwin began threatening both Michelle Murphy and her
counsel with the following insult to their dignity, “I’ll put you in Jail,” loud
ultimatums, as occurred when counsel attempted to have a calendar call
taken down by the court reporter as a part of documenting issues of the
court’s deviation from a USCR 3.1 case management plan. This is but one
of the many obstructions of justice by Judge Baldwin that disqualifies him.
(Counsel for the parties and the guardian ad litem came forward for a bench conference.) THE COURT: I’m telling him that I’m not going to take the whole calendar down on the record, that I will take this down. And I will make sure that
Page 136 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
everybody that’s involved is here, is called, and it’s on the record as to whether they’re here or not here. And if they’ve got any kind of objections or motions, any of that kind of stuff will be taken down. But I’m not going to take down everything; on the calendar call, I’m not going to put everybody else called. That has no bearing on his case whatsoever. MR. FARMER: Your Honor, I am the person that makes the determination of what are the issues in the case, and I THE COURT: No. I am the person that makes the determination, and I’m clear on that on the law. Now, go have a seat, and I’m going MR. FARMER: Can you tell me what the law is that you’re following? THE COURT: Yeah. I’m following the law that we say every day. I decide what the issues are. Okay? Go have a seat. MR. FARMER: But I’m entitled to preserve them, Your Honor. THE COURT: You’re entitled to preserve the issues of your case. MR. FARMER: My case. THE COURT: And I’ll be more than glad to do it. MR. FARMER: My case. THE COURT: Look, look. MR. FARMER: My case deals with the way you call the calendar. THE COURT: Look, look, Millard. Don’t argue with me. Understand? MR. FARMER: I just want to make sure the record is clear.
Page 137 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
THE COURT: If you keep arguing with me, now, I’m going to put you in jail. I’m not going to mess with you anymore. Okay? And I don’t care. You can jump up and down all you want, and you can make all the noise you want to make, but you keep messing with me, and I’m going to put you in jail. Do you understand me? Do you understand me? Do you understand me? (Tr. Aug. 6, 2013) (V10, p.1929; V12 p.2327)
8.2.6 The jail threats of Judge Baldwin on August 13, 2013, culminated
with a speech to Michelle Murphy that she was subject to being put in jail
if she did not physically force the fifteen and nearly thirteen year old
children to visit with John Murphy according to the terms of the 2008
divorce decree and his modified conditions of the Standing Order. In parts,
the speech was as follows.
I am ordering you to make them go. I don't care whether they jump up and down, scream and holler, lock themselves in their room. Whatever they do, you have got to make them go. Do you understand that?
* * * If you don't do what I tell you to do -- and I'm telling you to see that they go; I'm not giving them the option and I'm telling them they've got to go. But if you don't do that, I'll put you in jail.
* * * 8.2.7 At the beginning of the hearing that ended with the irrational rant
of Judge Baldwin about physically forcing 15 and 13 year old children to
get in a car to be transported to the airport to fly to and from, what is now
St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, for a weekend visit with John Harold
Murphy and Renee L. Haugerud, he committed to counsel for Michelle
Page 138 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Murphy as follows when counsel attempted to correct false and deceptive
statements made by Taylor Drake.
8.2.8 This commitment by Judge Baldwin to allow counsel for
Michelle Murphy to present evidence to rebut the information presented
by the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers ended just as most of Judge
Baldwin commitment to counsel for Michelle Murphy. Judge Baldwin
did not keep his commitment and even ten days after the hearing entered
the August 23, 2013 Order prepared by the Taylor Drake/Glover & Davis
lawyers that they hand delivered to Judge Baldwin with an ex parte letter
containing false information that was presented at the hearing.
The hearing without counsel for Michelle Murphy being allowed to
complete the cross-examination of the expert psychiatrist witness of John
Harold Murphy, who was obviously under the influence of some type of Page 139 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
substance while she was testifying. Michelle Murphy was not allowed to
present any of her witnesses. The hearing ended with the breached
commitment of Judge Baldwin as follows.
8.2.9 The ending rant of Judge Baldwin about taking the children
anywhere on their weekend visits and about physically loading them into
the car for their visits is as absurd a discretionary judgment by Judge
Baldwin as his conduct in signing Orders prepared by the Taylor
Drake/Glover & Davis lawyers without reading the Orders.
THE COURT: All right. Now, so he gets to see them whenever he’s supposed to see them. He can take them to Russia if he wants to during that time. But he's got to have them back on time. (Tr. Aug. 13, 2013, p. 259; V11, pp.2080-81)
8.2.8 After that rant by Judge Baldwin that was a gross insult to the legal
Page 140 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
system, Elizabeth “Lisa” Harwell, the guardian ad litem who converted
money to her personal use and who has a history of also engaging in
adultery that is another violation of the laws of Georgia, asserted that Judge
Baldwin should order Michelle Murphy not to tell the children about what
happened at the hearing that includes the false, uncorrected statement of
Judge Baldwin to Jack Murphy that he could choose to continue to live with
his mother if he so elected.
9. After Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell converted some of the guardian ad litem trust funds to her personal use and thereby insulted the dignity of the legal system, Judge Baldwin further insulted the dignity of the legal system by allowing Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell to continue serving as the guardian ad litem. 9.1 Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. has a judicial obligation not to
participate in the attempt of Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell to secret her
misconduct; however, as soon as Judge Baldwin was aware that the
conversion of funds and other misconduct of this guardian ad litem was
about to be fully exposed, Judge Baldwin denied the motion to disqualify
Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell with a two line, “Saturday night special,”
Order.
9.2 The “Saturday night special,” two line denial of the motion to
disqualify Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell reflects poorly upon the entire
misconduct.
9.3 The “Saturday night special,” two line denial of the motion to
disqualify Elizabeth “Lisa” F. Harwell reflects poorly and is an insult to
the dignity of the entire Coweta Judicial Circuit, as Judge Baldwin is the
Page 141 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
Chief Judge, who should role model ethical standards for the circuit judges
and lawyers.
9.4 The detriment of Elizabeth “Lisa” Harwell is threefold; first, she
selected the custody evaluator who required that Michelle Murphy enter
into a contract that provides the custody evaluator full immunity from any
cause of action by Michelle Murphy and not just statutory, bad faith
immunity. Second, Elizabeth “Lisa” Harwell has continuously suggested
events to Judge Baldwin that potentially cost Michelle Murphy money.
Third, Elizabeth “Lisa” Harwell engaged in the same type of illegal conduct
i.e., adultery in which “Murph,” as John Harold Murphy is called by this
guardian ad litem, engaged while he was married to Michelle Murphy.
10. Judge Baldwin’s remedy for not insulting the dignity of the children is apparently to treat them like packages that can be rerouted during shipment. 10.1 Judge Baldwin should know that Jack Murphy and Thomas Murphy
were so afraid after Judge Baldwin issued that last Order that they slept on
the floor of their mother’s bedroom for several nights for fear that the
Sheriff would come and require them to go with John Harold Murphy and
Renee L. Haugerud, as John Harold Murphy had the Deputy do on August
24, 2013, after Judge Baldwin modified custody, i.e., visitation on Augustt
23, 2013, on receiving the ex parte letter from the Glover & Davis lawyer.
10.2 The conduct of John Harold Murphy and the Glover & Davis lawyers
who represent the Sheriff of Coweta County is an insult to the dignity of
the Sheriff of Coweta County and the Deputy Sheriff who was called upon
to pick up the children after the change of custody, i.e., visitation, August
23, 2013 Order.
Page 142 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
11. Judge Baldwin and the lawyers do not understand that their litigation house is built on quicksand. 11.1 At some point, the insults to the dignity to the justice system by
Judge Baldwin are going to crumble. The disqualification conduct of Judge
Baldwin cannot stand. The Order upon which the contempts were based
cannot stand and the contempt accusations cannot stand.
11.2 The only issue is, will the children be under the house and buried in
the quicksand due to the insults that have been unnecessarily suffered to
the dignity of the judicial process.
12. The Particularized Need for an Impartial Trier of Fact in Domestic Relations Cases 12.1 The authority provided to Superior Court Judges relating to the
custody of minor children should mandate close oversight and even closer
scrutiny and oversight once the conduct of a Superior Court Judge is
challenged. This motion provides an opportunity for closer scrutiny.
12.2 The Uniform Superior Court Rules provide one of the procedural
methods for challenging the disqualification of a Superior Court Judge to
serve in a particular case. The other method is based upon federal due
process protections that is a not a five (5) day, time restricted, direct
challenge to the qualification of a Superior Court Judge to serve in a
particular case.
12.3 The procedural requirements of a Uniform Superior Court Rule 25, et
seq. challenge to the qualifications of a Superior Court Judge to serve in a
particular case must accord the litigant making such a challenge Ga. Const.
Art. I, § I, Para. X; Ga. Const. Art. I, § 1; ¶ 1; Ga. Const. Art. I, § 1, ¶ 2
rights and protections; together with the United States Fourteenth
Amendment protected rights of Due Process and Equal Protection. Page 143 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
12.4 This motion is brought within five (5) days of the most recent series
of unethical, illegal and prejudicial acts and omissions by Judge A. Quillian
Baldwin, Jr. that qualify this motion for adjudication under Uniform
Superior Court Rule 25.
12.5 The disqualifying conduct of Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. that
occurred within the five (5) days of bringing this motion is relevant conduct
for the Uniform Superior Court Rule 25 aspect of this motion. The
disqualifying conduct of Judge Baldwin happening outside the five (5) day
limitation is eligible for tacking onto this Uniform Superior Court Rule 25
challenge, as the totality of the conduct of Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr.
comprises this disqualification challenge.
12.6 The federal due process violations that this motion addresses
relating to the disqualification of Judge A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr. are not
time restricted by Uniform Superior Court Rule 25.
12.7 The State and United States constitutional challenges, facially and
as applied to Uniform Superior Court Rule 25, are also not restricted by
Uniform Superior Court Rule 25.
12.8 Uniform Superior Court Rule 25, as applied and facially violates the
protections afforded Nancy Michelle Murphy in this case and to others in all
cases under the United States Constitution, equal protection U.S. Const. amend.
XIV, § 1 and State of Georgia Constitution Bill or Rights equal protection
(Ga. Const. Art. I, § 1, ¶ 2) This, in part, occurs due to the illegal application of
USCR 3.1.
12.9 Uniform Superior Court Rule 25, as applied and facially, violates the
protections afforded Nancy Michelle Murphy in this case and to others in all
cases under the United States Constitution due process, U.S. Const. Page 144 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
amend. XIV, § 1 and State of Georgia Constitution Bill of Rights due process
protection (Ga. Const. Art. I, § 1, ¶ 1)
12.10 It is elementary that constitutional challenges to statutes and rules
based upon similar provisions in the federal Constitution and Georgia
Constitution must be independently evaluated. See Pope v. City of Atlanta,
240 Ga. 177 (1977).
12.11 This independent evaluation of the equal protection
constitutional claims and class of persons protected by these
guarantees is relevant to the challenges brought, as equal protection
challenges must be determined from the record of evidence in the
case.
12.12 The Georgia Constitution requires greater vigilance under its
equal protection clause than does the United States Constitution. Georgia
law clearly requires courts to conduct equal protection analysis based on
the record evidence. See Allied Chemical Corp. v. Georgia Power Co.,
236 Ga 548, 555 (1976) ("the evidence before the court was adequate to
show that the higher price assessed against the industrial class rested upon
a rational basis which was reasonably related to legitimate ends");
BellSouth Telecomms., Inc. v. Cobb County, 277 Ga. 314, 316
(2003)("Cobb County has produced evidence that explains why only
telecommunications companies are charged the permit fee."); Dixon v.
Perry, 262 Ga. 212, 213 (1992) ("the City presented evidence that the
ordinance was intended to ensure prompt response . .. the City established
on the record a facially valid purpose for the enactment."); Shurman v.
Atlanta, 148 Ga. 1, 10 (1918) (municipal ordinance classification of
property sustained based upon "[t]he evidence in the record" that
Page 145 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
justified the classification).
12.13 Uniform Superior Court Rule 25 denies Nancy Michelle
Murphy the due process protection to present a record of evidence to
support these equal protection challenges.
Additional Memorandum of Law 13.1 The Uniform Rules for the Superior Courts are the procedural rules that
the Judges of the Coweta Judicial Circuit are required by law to follow. Judge
A. Quillian Baldwin, Jr., (Judge 3 of 5) chose not to follow USCR 3.1 and
thereafter chose to deprive Nancy Michelle Murphy of her rights under the laws
of Georgia, while also violating her constitutional protections.
13.2 USCR 25.7 is as follows.
USCR 25.7. Voluntary recusal If a judge, either on the motion of one of the parties or the judge's own motion, voluntarily disqualifies, another judge, selected by the procedure set forth in Rule 25.4 above, shall be assigned to hear the matter involved. A voluntary recusal shall not be construed as either an admission or denial to any allegations which have been set out in the motion.
13.3 USCR 25.4, referenced in USCR 25.7 above, is the procedure to be
followed when there is a voluntary recusal by a judge, in parts, is as follows.
25.4. Procedure upon a motion for disqualification The motion shall be assigned for hearing to another judge, who shall be selected in the following manner:
* * * (C) If within a multi-judge circuit, composed of three (3) or more judges, selection shall be made by use of the circuit's existing random, impartial case assignment method. If the circuit does not have random, impartial case assignment rules, then assignment shall be made as follows:
Page 146 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
(1) The chief judge of the circuit shall select a judge within the circuit to hear the motion, unless the chief judge is the one against whom the motion is filed; or
(2) In the event the chief judge is the one against whom the motion is filed, the assignment shall be made by the judge of the circuit who is most senior in terms of service other than the chief judge and who is not also a judge against whom the motion is filed; or
(3) When the motion pertains to all active judges in the circuit, the district administrative judge shall select a judge outside the circuit to hear the motion.
(D) If the district administrative judge is the one against whom the motion is filed, the judge within the district senior in time of service (or next senior in time of service, if the administrative judge is the one senior in the time of service) shall serve in this selection process instead of the district administrative judge. If the motion is sustained, the selection of another judge to hear the case shall follow the same procedure as outlined above.
(E) If all judges within a judicial administrative district are disqualified, including the administrative judge, the matter shall be referred by the disqualified administrative judge to the administrative judge of an adjacent district for the appointment of a judge who is not a member of the district to preside over the motion or case.
13.4 USCR 25.1, in part provides as follows.
25.1. Motions All motions to recuse or disqualify a judge presiding in a particular case or proceeding shall be timely filed: in writing and all evidence thereon shall be presented by accompanying affidavit(s) which shall fully assert the facts upon which the motion is founded. Filing and presentation to the judge shall be not later than five (5) days after the affiant first learned of the alleged grounds for disqualification, and not later than ten (10) days prior to the hearing or trial which is
Page 147 of 153 June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
the subject of recusal or disqualification, unless good cause be shown for failure to meet such time requirements. In no event shall the motion be allowed to delay the trial or proceeding.
13.5 The requirement of USCR 25.1 places an as-applied and facially
unconstitutional burden upon Nancy Michelle Murphy in this case, and, upon
litigants, in general.
13.6 USCR 25.3, in part provides as follows.
25.2. Affidavit The affidavit shall clearly state the facts and reasons for the belief that bias or prejudice exists, being definite and specific as to time, place, persons and circumstances of extra-judicial conduct or statements, which demonstrate either bias in favor of any adverse party, or prejudice toward the moving party in particular, or a systematic pattern of prejudicial conduct toward persons similarly situated to the moving party, which would influence the judge and impede or prevent impartiality in that action. Allegations consisting of bare conclusions and opinions shall not be legally sufficient to support the motion or warrant further proceedings.
13.7 A facial federal or state constitutional challenge is a challenge to a
statute or rule that is always, and under all circumstances, unconstitutional, and
therefore void. This is contrasted with an as-applied challenge, which alleges
that the statute may be, in part, unconstitutional, in redress of specific and
particular injury.
13.8 A facial challenge to a statute or rule is, of course, the most difficult
challenge to mount, since the challenger must establish that no set of
circumstances exists under which the challenged statute or rule would be valid.
United States v. Salerno 481 U.S. 739 (1987).
13.9 An example of a facial vs. as-applied challenge is Finley v. National
Endowment for the Arts, 524 U.S. 569 (1998). In Finley, the federal Page 148 of 153
June 26, 2014 Consolidated Disqualification Motion,
government, acting as a patron of the arts through the NEA, promulgated
guidelines for NEA grants that granted the NEA the power to evaluate works
subjectively before funding them, on the basis of the offensiveness of the work
in question.
13.10 The Roberts Court has tended to highlight the differing uses of facial
versus as-applied challenges.
13.10.1 In Gonzales v. Carhart, 550 U.S. 124 (2007), Justice Kennedy
declined a request to invalidate a law that would have banned an abortion
procedure - specifically, dilation & extraction, even when the health of the
mother required as much. Kennedy writes that the procedure is only
beneficial at the extremes, making the law only unconstitutional at the
extremes, and therefore the law should be vulnerable to an as-applied
challenge, but not a facial challenge.
13.10.2 In Wisconsin Right to Life v. Federal Election Comm'n, 551
U.S. 449 (2007), the Supreme Court considered the Bipartisan Campaign
Finance Reform Act, which, in part, prohibited issue advertisements
within 30 days of an election. Chief Justice Roberts invalidated the act "as
applied" to Wisconsin Right to Life's particular issue ad, saying that this
prong of the Act would rarely be constitutional, and closed his opinion by
expressing his belief that the entire Act was unconstitutional.
The point is that Nancy Michelle Murphy was entitled to present evidence
in support of her motion in order to more adequately demonstrate her as
applied constitutional attack upon the USCR.
The Affidavit of Millard Farmer is attached.
