Sacramento Superior Court Corruption: Leaked Court Reporter Transcript Records Flagrant State Law Violations at Unlawful Fee Waiver Hearing

Judge Matthew Gary Orders Illegal Fee Waiver Hearing to Obstruct Appeal of Own Orders, Help Judge Pro Tem Lawyer

Monday Document Dump

Sacramento Superior Court whistleblowers allege that the court acts as a
racketeering enterprise involving collusion between judges and
lawyers who also work as part-time judges in the same court.

Unilaterally overriding state law, constructing his own ad hoc interpretation of legislative intent, and legislating from the bench, Judge Matthew Gary denies a fee waiver request by a disabled, indigent, unrepresented litigant in this startling court reporter transcript, embedded at the end of this article. 

The fee waiver request by a litigant with a cognitive disability was for trial court appellate costs for an appeal of several orders issued by the judge, including an illegal, non-conforming order for more than $10,000 in attorney fee sanctions to the opposing attorney.

The pro per had an existing fee waiver which by law automatically applied to the trial court appeal costs, making the hearing ordered by the judge patently unlawful. To view the order Gary issued after the hearing, click here. 

The opposing party is represented by divorce attorney Paula Salinger, partner at the prominent Sacramento family law firm Woodruff, O'Hair, Posner & Salinger Inc., sworn Sacramento County Superior Court temporary judge, and current officer of the Sacramento County Bar Association Family Law Executive Committee or FLEC. Days after the hearing, Gary issued a second order reversing himself and granting the fee waiver request, but at the same time embedding in the order a sham finding designed to help Salinger and her client at a pending trial in the case.

Judge Matthew Gary Demoted by Presiding Judge: Stripped of Supervising Judge Title by PJ Laurie Earl - Judge Jaime Roman Installed as Supervising Judge

Controversial Judge Matthew Gary Removed from Supervising Judge Position

Sacramento County Family Court News Exclusive

Letterhead of former Supervising Family Law/Probate/ADA Judge Matthew J. Gary

Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Jaime R. Roman has been named as the Supervising Family Law, Probate and ADA Judge, effective today. The supervising judge position previously was held by Matthew J. Gary, who prematurely has been removed from the post months before the normal rotation of presiding and supervising judge positions. 

All other supervising and presiding judge positions remain unchanged. Working from Department 121, Gary will revert to his position as a non-supervisory, rank-and-file family court jurist. 

Gary's short-lived stint as a supervising judge was marred by controversy, including a plan to eliminate many family court services and reduce the Family Law Division of the court to providing what he referred to as "core functions." Gary also has been battered by disqualification by an outside judge, and endured a major reversal from the Third District Court of Appeal.
