RESPONSE TO ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE:
… There had been some minimal conversation and Respondent was aware of the scheduled meeting or hearing. In his mind, however, the March hearing was the same as or similar to the earlier December hearing at which he voluntarily appeared with counsel. What Respondent failed to realize or appreciate was the March hearing required his appearance in person in accordance with the Rule To Show Cause issued pursuant to FJQC Rule 8. On the night of March 27, 2025, Respondent began driving north on I-95 with the intention of driving to Jacksonville. As he drove north he received a series of messages and telephone calls advising him of an ongoing family matter in Broward County at which his presence was being requested. Respondent weighed his options and elected to address the family crisis. Unfortunately, since he had planned on appearing in person at the JQC hearing he had not submitted a written explanation or any written materials. Instead, early on the morning of March 28, 2025, Respondent sent an email/letter to Alexander Williams, General Counsel for the JQC. Mr. Williams has incorporated by reference that email/letter as Exhibit B in the Recommendation of Suspension. In the email/letter Respondent explained that despite his best intentions he wouldn’t be appearing in person due to a family matter that required his attention …
RESPONDENT’S ANSWER TO NOTICES OF INVESTIGATION:
In response to JQC Notice Of Formal Charges:
Oh look. You can’t let anyone live in peace.
Lame even for a Broward Judge. …
Farmers appearance without an attorney was a mistake number one. But stuff does that happen that requires personal attention and I believe him that matter. But I think the JQC were tired of his prior antics or filings that we are not aware of. Usually everyone gets the benefit of the doubt unless you abuse the doubt.
Farmer you made your bed now sleep in the barn and not the courthouse. (Ala judge mow)
Has anyone seen the latest filings by Paidowitz? He has lost his mind. What is his endgame?
Didn’t he lose Anna the banana that may justify it
Just saying
what case
Flakowitz is making a case about a guy waving a gun at an unlicensed wedding venue in one of those podunk cities- Davie or SW Ranches and trying to get it to the Supreme Court
🙄. Tried to use virtual reality too. Wanted virtual reality when the crime was caught on camera. No clue why THIS is the case to go awol on, maybe the penis statute from his last case, hit him in the head?
Maybe this defendant can help get his wife elected? Or appointed. I mean we have a lot of openings or will soon.
Kenny needs to stick to bagels
BUT YOU DIDN’T ORDER ANY CREAM CHEESE
Farmer Fridays. He needs to go.
Everyone knows why they left Lizzie alone but why were the Judges afraid to tell on Farmer for missing so many days??
THEY KNEW I WAS A LIGHTWEIGHT WHEN I TOOK THE BENCH
They stick together like flies on chit
If you go after one they think it could be them next
No lie is too outrageous to keep them at the public trough
Judges that can’t or won’t work a full workweek have no business on the bench.
Nobody works 5 days a week anymore …
JUDGES DESERVE DAYS OFF TOO
All the part time Judges should be removed to make way for people that want to serve. It’s disgusting how bad some of them are and how the Chief and JQC turn a blind eye.
Jaab comment’s is where the rubber hits the road. Farmer and Scherer there’s been lots of comments about the absenteeism and then seems the Johnson swipe cards get a review. The message gets through imho.
The supposed ‘bad jokes’ are merely the tips of the icebergs.
It’s like the big issues? Just ignore them. Maybe they’ll go away?
He’s going to become a fertilizer salesman ?
His response is just a bunch of lies!
It’s an affront
Hubris a better word.
He’s an arrogant person.
Foreclosures—-did he show up on time?
Anyone know?
Can they check to see if he was logged in from home?
How many swipes does it take to make it into the building? 1…..2……
The swipe card defense…..why didn’t I think of that?
Let me get this straight. The newspaper article says Judge Farmer’s worth 4.7 mil and he’s arguing about how expensive a suspension is? Seriously?
“No correct record” of the Friday dockets? Is this for real. And which Judges are going to testify they swiped him in with their cards?
SEND THEM ALL SUBPOENAS
He always seemed to be talking about his travel plans.
Judge Farmer was late a lot to court. Just sayin.
Was he in his Chambers before it started or was he being swiped in by other tardy judges at 930am?
Oct 1 ’23 through Sept 30 ’24 there’s about 249 work days and they’re saying he missed 100 of them?
If that’s accurate there’s no way the Supremes can keep him because of the precedent it would set not to mention all the dirty talk.
TRENDSETTER FOR JUDICIAL ABSENTEEISM
.
I’m wondering what they wanted to talk to him about in the meeting he cancelled. Also, I’m wondering who was the lawyer he fired. Is that information available.
Throughout this
entire period his only relief, and the best part of his day, was his time in court where
he believed he was serving a public good and a noble cause. These brief respites of
time provided an outlet to feel good about his life and what he was doing.
