With increasing return of economically-challenged residents, the need to overhaul the Orleans Parish Civil District –as well as the need to indict people like Clerk of Court Dale Atkins and Sheriff Paul Valteau, is a crucial reality.

In light of the fact that patterns of conduct analogous to the ”Bail Bonds Unlimited” folks, are being carried out by attorneys  connected to Orleans Parish Civil District Court judges, the siblings Louis and Lori Marcotte ought to be bristling.  As of now, no probe has begun relevant to gifts and perks from the “Jamaican Sunset” providerswho supply New Orleans judges with luxury junkets. Those attorneys not only furnish annual cruises, they make financial donations to various CDC judges. . .

Since the time I begin to hear about the dire situation at New Orleans Criminal court, I wondered how judges at the New Orleans Civil court could fail to assist Criminal court, especially because it seems that the workday often ends at noon for judges like Lloyd Medley.

At any rate, in case you missed the 411 about the lawyers and certain judges, the well-written article: Jamaican Sunset CLE From: James Varney and Jeffrey Meitrodt, “Jamaica vs. work? Judges head for beach —— Meanwhile, cases continue to pile up,” The Times-Picayune, New Orleans, … is available at

Notwithstanding the years of data at the tulanelink website, regarding gifts and favors to New Orleans judges, and notwithstanding information provided on this site about Orleans Parish Civil District Court improprieties, DON’T OVERPASS THE WHITE COLLAR CRIMES BEING ENGAGED in by Orleans Parish Civil Sheriff Paul Valteau, as it is not uncommon for Valteau to record fraudulent real estate property deeds, as well as conduct frequent “simulated”  (fraudulent) auction sales.  Throughout this site, sample lists of unlawfully transferred / sold real estate properties are posted.

Indeed, I have a personal axe to grind.  My condensed story -along with some instances of embarrassment is being told to illustrate the countless people who sought equity, to no avail.  In addition, various postings shown here elucidates my January 2006 essay (see below)  ”Coming To A City Near You,” which portrays reprehensible judicial improprieties, and public oppression.
