Ashton O'Dwyer

This dude went out with a bang. He has to have serious psychological issues.


quote:

In 2005, respondent filed suit under a litany of federal and state environmental statutes without providing any factual basis whatsoever for his allegations. The federal court described this filing as a “56-page, practically illegible handwritten complaint full of ‘irrelevant rhetoric.’”


quote:

regarding two members of the PLC, respondent alleged that “these very same lawyers, who are ‘supposed’ to be representing the interests of ‘the Class,’including me and my clients, HAVE BEEN SLEEPING WITH THE DEVIL, namely the State of Louisiana and its Department of ‘Injustice,’ all behind my back!”


quote:

Respondent filed a motion for sanctions against Michael Riess in response to Mr. Riess’ motion for sanctions against him. Respondent also used inappropriate, unprofessional language in an e-mail to Mr. Riess: “Glad to know that you condone 12-year old girls giving birth to illegitimate children, and that you sanction killing, looting, drug use and possession of illegal firearms, as well as disrespect towards women.”


quote:

In response to the en banc order, respondent filed on November 11, 2008 a pleading captioned “Declaration of His Intentionally Contemptuous Non-Compliance with the Court’s Order of 11/07/08.” In this “Declaration,” respondent advised the en banc federal court that “it may as well disbar him, forever, because he has no intention of ever complying” with the requirements of the suspension order. Indeed, respondent added, he would submit to the anger management classes required by the en banc order “only upon the condition that each Member of the Court first complete ‘charm school.’”


quote:

On November 17, 2008, respondent hand-delivered a document to the chambers of Judge Vance, in which he requested records reflecting how each member of the federal court voted in connection with his disciplinary hearing. The document further states, “I really would like to know precisely what kind of ‘Kool Aid’ you and Judge Lemelle have been drinking. Whatever you do, please keep it away from the other Judges, ...” Respondent sent a copy of this letter to each member of the federal court




godspeed, Ashton

On April 8, 2009, respondent sent an e-mail to DCAH denying the use of racially disparaging terms, yet including such terms along with other offensive terms, in this e-mail. Later the same day, he notified DCAH that he was a “pimp,” a “puppet,” an “Uncle Tom,” and an “OREO.”


quote:

On April 14, 2009, respondent sent an e-mail to DCAH with only a subject line using the same objectionable terms. Later the same day, respondent notified DCAH by e-mail that “I Just Can’t Help Myself” and then launched into a string of racially offensive and obscene terms.


quote:

On April 15, 2009, respondent advised by e-mail sent to DCAH that he had developed yet another nickname for him. This nickname was intended to be equally offensive. Later that same day, respondent offered by e-mail to substitute a new offensive nickname for the prior offensive nickname

Meanwhile, in a separate federal lawsuit filed by respondent, he contended that, within twelve
hours of filing the complaint in the Katrina class action litigation, the Louisiana State Police
forcibly abducted him from his home in the middle of the night and delivered him to a temporary
detention facility at the Union Passenger Terminal (“Camp Amtrak”), where he was shot with
“bean bag rounds” from a twelve-gauge shotgun, blasted with pepper spray, and held in a small
cage. To this day, respondent believes there is a connection between what he describes as this
“gangland-style ‘hit’” ordered on him by “someone” and the “‘treatment’ I have enjoyed in the
‘Victims of KATRINA’ litigation, courtesy of the lawyers within the Louisiana Department of
‘Injustice,’ courtesy of the Plaintiffs’ Liaison Committee, who are ‘supposed’ to be representing
me and my clients, and possibly even ‘courtesy’ of Judge Duval...”

Except for the cousin Hecker and Sarah Vance, I think I've had a face to face conversation with every human being mentioned in that document.

And it's possible I've met Hecker.

I used to be in that class action world - a lifetime ago. Unbridled greed doesn't begin to describe it - and the fragile psyches involved are mind boggling.
