Supreme Court of Arizona Hearing Panel Rule 52

Moffatt Media Report

Episode #1 (Hearing Panel)

Whether “Third World Justice” undermines equal access to justice against April Sponsel, Former Maricopa County Prosecutor?   

A Decision and Order Imposing Sanctions, with two year Suspension, was filed against Sponsel’s law license on 12/19/2023 by the Arizona Supreme Court Hearing Panel.    The Hearing Panel, which  is NOT in compliance with the Arizona Constitution.

Whether the Hearing Panel has exceeded jurisdiction and authority against Sponsel and other Arizona Lawyer’s? 

The Hearing Panel was created under Arizona State Supreme Court Rule 52,  Administrative Order No.: 2010-136, dated: 12/22/2010, issued by former Chief Justice Rebecca White Berch.   “A three-person hearing board consisting of the Presiding Disciplinary Judge, a volunteer, lawyer and a public member will hear any cases proceeding to hearing.  The Presiding Disciplinary Judge and the hearing boards will have the authority to impose all sanctions including disbarment,” said Berch.

Berch proceeded in 2010, with creating the Hearing Panel in Administrative Order# 2010-136, knowing such panel lacks constitutional infrastructure  compliance. 

Essentially the Hearing Panel operating under Administrative Order 2010-136, creates an administrative  fourth branch of judiciary government without approval by ANY Governor or  Arizona House of Representatives Judiciary Committee.

 

MOFFATT MEDIA’S RECOMMENDATION ON SUPREME COURT RULE 52

(HEARING PANEL)

Stay Decision and Order Imposing Sanctions by the Hearing Panel dated 12/19/2023 against Sponsel;

Suspend Supreme Court Rule 52, until there has been a constitutional review to determine Rule 52, contingent on constitutionally legally valid and does not conflict with the Arizona Constitution; and

Suspend Supreme Court Rule 52, that gives the Hearing Panel, a murder weapon  to fatally “kill” Sponsel and other Arizona Lawyer’s professional occupational Lawyer’s licenses  and their financial livelihoods. 

The “Decision and Order Imposing Sanctions,” filed: 12/19/2023, against April Sponsel reads in pertinent part:  “The hearing panel was comprised of Presiding Disciplinary Judge Margaret H. Downie, attorney member Mark S. Sifferman, and public member Randall Clark.”

Sponsel was prosecuted by the Hearing Panel under Count Two alleged violation of ER 1.1.  and ER to mean: (Ethical Rule).  Do you know the Ethical Rules, are NOT adopted into any Arizona statutory civil or criminal laws?  

Conclusion paragraph within the “Decision and Order Imposing Sanctions,” reads in pertinent part: … “April Arlene Sponsel is suspended from the practice of law in Arizona for two years.” … 

A two year suspension has the same effect as a disbarment and taking of Sponsel’s vested law license.

The taking of Sponsel’s law license and livelihood has NOT been done by a real “Court of Record,” because the Hearing Panel is nothing more than an administrative hearing body, that does NOT uphold State or Federal constitutional laws.

Do you know the administrative Hearing Panel proceedings against Sponsel denied Sponsel a Jury Trial? 

Do you know Sponsel and other Arizona Lawyer’s do NOT have First Amendment Protections? 

Because the Arizona legislative Judiciary Branch of government has not been able to force  the Supreme Court of Arizona into compliance with implementing First Amendment protections for Sponsel and Arizona Lawyer’s.

ER to mean Ethical Rules

The Ethical Rules are only policy guidelines of Non-Profit Corporation doing business as:  State Bar of Arizona. All proceedings are nothing more than sui generis pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 48(a) and administrative.

 

Arizona Supreme Court, enough is enough STOP the kangaroo unconstitutional proceedings against Arizona Lawyer’s.

The Hearing Panel’s Infrastructure has been unconstitutional since its inception. 

WHY: 

Courts, including the State Supreme Court of Arizona, do NOT make laws they interpret and decide laws!

____

Moffatt Media, has been conducting Case Studies since 2015, regarding the State Bar of Arizona, the Hearing Panel and the State Supreme Court of Arizona.

It continues to be unfortunate that the Arizona Supreme Court appears to have gone rogue against persons like Sponsel and other Arizona Lawyer’s.  

Maybe it’s time for Congress to conduct Congressional Inquiries against the Arizona Supreme Court, Hearing Panel and including Supreme Court Rule 52.

California “Unclean Hands” Concealed spent $134 Mil on Vulnerable Old Voting Machines targets Trump 2023

Smart Voters do you know California has concealed  $ 134 MIL SPENT TO RETIRE OLD VOTING MACHINES?

“County elections officials must now implement a voting system that meets the state’s newest testing and certification standards in time for the March 3, 2020 Presidential Primary Election,” per Secretary of State Alex Padilla, February 27, 2019.  …

“Throughout California, many counties are using voting systems that are at or near their life
expectancy,” Secretary of State Alex Padilla said. “Some counties use machines that are so old that vendors no longer make replacement parts. Some counties utilize operating systems that are so old that they are no longer supported and security upgrades are not available.
While county officials have worked diligently to keep equipment up and running, our democracy faces increasingly sophisticated threats from nefarious actors, both foreign and domestic. The time is now for all California counties to modernize voting equipment.”  … Bold added for emphasis.

“The state budget for the current year includes $134.3 million for counties to upgrade or replace aging voting systems.”“In a February 12, 2019 hearing of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Homeland Security, DHS Director Christopher Krebs testified that “It will take significant and continual investment to ensure that election systems across the nation are upgraded and secure, with vulnerable systems retired. These efforts require a whole of government approach.” Bold added for emphasis.

Smart Voters, do you think rather than California casting a stone at 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump, maybe the solution for California is to do away with its vulnerable Voting Machines and in 2024 use “Paper Ballots:” Yes or No?

California, let’s make the 2024 election different, use “Paper Ballots” to restore honesty and integrity instead of contributing towards the erosion of voting democracy.   Cyber-hackers pose no threat without having program codes to flip “Paper Ballots.”  

California STOP casting stones at TRUMP, because your hands are NOT  clean and to remove TRUMP’s name off the ballot may cause a “Rise of Smart Voters,” to peacefully protest with just simply writing-in Trump’s name on the 2024 Ballot. 

California do you know the State of Colorado received in 2020 $7,133,864.00?   That’s right the Federal government (EAC) issued $7.3 Mil to Colorado also for Cybersecurity enhancements of its (outdated) Irregular  Voting Machines. 

Fast forward 2023, Colorado moves to remove Former President Donald J. Trump off the 2024 Ballot. Colorado your hands aren’t clean either STOP casting stones!

Britney Spears’ Conservatorship: What’s Going on and What’s Next?

A timeline of everything that’s happened from the premiere of the Framing Britney Spears documentary through the official termination of her conservatorship

UPDATE Nov. 12, 2021: After 14 years, Britney Spears’ conservatorship has been terminated.

The contentious fight over Britney Spears’ conservatorship entered a new phase after the singer’s scathing testimony in front of Los Angeles probate judge Brenda Penny in June, during which the pop star offered a harrowing account of the last 13 years of her life.

Since 2008, Spears’ life has been controlled by a conservatorship led by her once-estranged father, James “Jamie” Spears. The conservatorship has been credited by some with helping right Spears’ career after a tumultuous 2008 ended with a 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold; since then, Spears has put out hit albums, toured the world, and starred in a Las Vegas residency. But in her testimony, Spears claimed that her father and others enlisted to oversee her life and career have forced her to work ceaselessly; she even goes so far as to compare her seven-days-a-week, no-days-off schedule to sex trafficking. Spears, who also has a personal conservator, Jodi Montgomery, alleged that she was prescribed medication like lithium against her will and told she was not allowed to get married, have another child, or have her IUD removed.
