Judge Hannah Dugan was elected trial court judge by the voters of Wisconsin. The job pays $175K a year. Not a bad salary to sit around in misdemeanor court and listen to criminals plead guilty all day to minor crimes.

The Federal indictment alleges that Federal agents showed up at Dugan’s court to pick up a guy named Eduardo Flores-Ruiz with an outstanding Federal warrant for not being a legal citizen. Dugan directed the Feds to go to the Chief Judge Carl Ashley’s Office. While they were hanging out with Chief Judge Ashley, pictured below, Dugan told the defendant and his attorney to go to the jury room and slip out the back, Jack, make a new plan Sam, don’t be coy Roy. 50 ways to leave your Federal agent.

Why didn’t the Feds bust Chief Judge Ashley, a grad of Marquette Law School? Dugan is just a junior judge handling assault and batteries. Ashley is a senior judge with a big salary. White collar welfare. This is not rocket science or brain surgery. I can’t believe Dugan would tell a guy with an outstanding Federal warrant to evade the authorities without getting a green light from the Head Judge in Charge. Dumb and dumber.

Judge Kori Ashley, a grad of University of Wisconsin law school, is listed as the Judge handling felony cases right below her uncle Chief Judge Carl Ashley. The Ashley Judicial family. Kori is pictured below. In Wisconsin the judges run election campaigns. In Connecticut the Judges get appointed by the Governor, after a lawyer files a job application. In Connecticut it helps to have political connections to the Governor. Federal Judges also get appointed by the Executive branch. But in the Federal system Judges have more independence once they are appointed. Federal Judges are usually Ivy League graduates with years of experience in the top law firms in the country. State Judges come from all kinds of backgrounds.

In Connecticut the Judges are “managed” by the chief administrative Judges, which weakens their independence. If a Judge falls out of favor with the authorities in Hartford he can get transferred to Rockville, equivalent to getting shipped to Siberia, to listen to habeas corpus petitions all day. Or get transferred to Juvenile or Housing Court. Nobody wants to sit in these courts all day. I heard rumors that Michael Skakel, who had his habeas petition granted by Judge Thomas Bishop, lucked out because Bishop had been banished to Rockville, possibly for asserting too much judicial independence. 99.99 percent of habeas petitions get denied.

Dugan’s Milwaukee based attorney John H. Bradley, is a University of Wisconsin law grad, like most members of his law firm. Milwaukee is a long way from the SDNY playground for Yale and Harvard law grads. Bradley filed a motion to dismiss the criminal indictment. He indicated in his motion that a deputy / bailiff in the courtroom snitched on Dugan and told the Feds that Dugan directed the Flores sneak out the jury room.

Bradley stated in his motion: “On Good Friday, April 18, 2025, Judge Dugan was presiding over her misdemeanor docket in the Milwaukee County Courthouse…” It was not a very good Friday for Judge Dugan or Mr. Flores-Ruiz. Why were the Wisconsin courts open on Good Friday? The State of Cheese heads and Infidels!

*************************CONNECTICUT BAR SUSPENSION: DAY 4,030

As of the date of 5/18/2025 my law license has been suspended 4,030 days by the State of Connecticut on the basis that this blog is not acceptable to the Bar regulators. I have asked the Bar regulators, as well as Judges, repeatedly to explain in plain English, or legalese, or even pig Latin, their reasoning, but so far the only answer I have received was from Committee Chairman Gary Friedle who told me that my First Amendment rights were somewhat “limited” and that my blog postings were “inappropriate” for a member of the CT Bar. I have been trying to reinstate my Bar license since the year 2000, but have been told for years, and many hearings, that this blog is “needs to be completely removed.” Chairman Friedle went so far as to tell me that I needed to remove my blog from the wayback machine. The only CT attorney brave enough to defend the First Amendment and recommend that I get reinstated to the bar is a criminal defense lawyer with vast experience, named Richard R. Brown. I would highly recommend his services.

The guy who started the Larry Noodles blog, observed a two year Sabbatical in which he didn’t drink alcohol, cut his hair, touch dead bodies or write blogs about the Goat. Even if he didn’t take his Nazarite vow, his blog was deemed too “scathing” for the State of Connecticut Bar regulators and ordered shut down by the authorities. In spite of self censoring his blog for two years, the Bar regulators demanded that he go back to the future and remove his blog from the Wayback machine, ex post facto. Larry Noodles only knows how to operate a simple espresso machine in Eastern Standard Time and attempted to appease the Bar regulators with cups of espresso, to which the regulators responded, CANCELLED! This is the thanks he gets after helping the New Haven State’s Attorneys Office get a guilty verdict against a pedophile Rabbi who ran a child sex trafficking operation for decades right under the noses of the New Haven Police Department.

These are the names of the CT Bar Committee members, with no background in First Amendment law, who believe this blog is beneath the dignity and integrity of the legal profession and voted to cancel the Larry Noodles blog: Chairwoman Kathleen Dunn (wife of former paperboy to the Noodles family: Bridgeport State’s Attorney Kevin Dunn), Edward F. Czepiga (PI lawyer), Cindy Robinson (med mal lawyer), Doug Mahoney (med mal lawyer), Robert Lotty (insurance defense), Sean K. McElligott (PI Lawyer), Chairman Gary Friedle (semi retired), New Haven State’s Attorney Kate Morgan (rookie), John C. Matulis Jr. (PI lawyer) Rene Rosado (no website / no active cases listed on the civil, family or criminal court docket, but he voted in the minority to reinstate Joe Ganim to the CT bar), Kelly Barnett (insurance defense, counsel for The Travelers), David A. Curry (no website / no cases listed on civil, family or criminal docket), and John B. Nolan (deceased – passed away during my hearings). None of these attorneys have any background or experience in First Amendment law.

Attorney Norm Pattis, was never subjected to any sanction by the above mentioned Connecticut Bar regulators when he wrote the following on his blog after he was sanctioned by Judge Bellis in the Alex Jones case:   “The judge is stunned by my misconduct. Me, I am stunned the state trusts her with a robe and a gavel. Folks are afraid of this judge, and not for good reason. Why would the judge do this? I think Emerson teaches why: ‘When you strike at a king, you must kill him.’  The same, apparently, applied to queens. My office had moved to disqualify the judge, taken emergency interlocutory appeals to the state Supreme Court — one of which went to full briefing, and otherwise challenged her ability to be fair and impartial to Alex Jones. We clashed in a televised trial versus Jones, a trial in which she so lost control of the proceedings that she at one point sat gaping as a plaintiff’s lawyer and Jones exchanged heated words; I shouted objections as though to an empty room.  We’re preparing to appeal the $1.5 billion default judgment against Jones, a case we believe this judge butchered with her rulings.”
