Judge T. Kent Wetherell II, a lifelong Floridian born in Daytona Beach, was appointed to the Federal Court in the Northern District of Florida by President Trump in 2019. Prior to that he was a Florida State Court Judge, owing to his connections in the Florida political scene, both his parents were members of the Florida House of Representatives. Judge Wetherell graduated from Florida State University and Florida State Law School. Most Federal Judges are graduates of the Ivy Leagues. Judge Wetherell’s father was the President of Florida State University.

On 6/12/2026 Judge Wetherell presided over a case involving a dispute over a trust. One of the litigants, named Lorraine Padavan, appeared before Judge Wetherell with her attorney at her side. They both sat at a table facing the Judge. Apparently Lorraine decided to take a piece of gum out of her mouth at some time either before or after the hearing, and stick it under the table that she was sitting at. After her hearing finished she left the courtroom. A criminal sentencing followed Lorraine’s hearing. An assistant United States Attorney sat at the same desk where Lorraine had just planted her tuchos. The US Attorney’s dress got stuck in the gum. The US Attorney informed the Judge that the Courtroom was unsanitary and that she was covered in gum.

Judge Wetherell conducted an investigation and took a picture of the offensive gum. Judge Wetherell suspected that Lorraine must have stuck the gum under the table. Judge Wetherell issued the following order: “Putting aside how disgusting it is to stick chewed gum to the underside of a table, that act shows a contempt for the Court and court facilities that may warrant sanctions—or at least an apology to the Court and the attorney who got the gum stuck to her skirt. Accordingly, it is ORDERED that on or before noon on Monday, June 16, 2025, Plaintiff shall file a notice identifying who stuck the chewed gum under the table and show cause why the Court should not impose appropriate sanctions on the person who did so.”

Lorraine quickly wrote the following apology, which was filed by Linda’s lawyer: “I sincerely apologize. If appropriate, I would like to call the Assistant United States Attorney referenced in the Court’s Order to personally apologize. I would further like to pay for any damage caused including any payment to the appropriate party to compensate the United States District Court to clean the table or take any necessary action to address the placement of the gum. I would further like to pay for any damage caused to the wardrobe of the Assistant United States Attorney referenced in the Court’s Order, including any cleaning bill or replacement of the damaged clothing.”

Judge Wetherell decided not to sanction Linda, and stated: “I appreciate Plaintiff’s candor in admitting to what she did and her contrition for her actions. Her letter will be forwarded to the affected AUSA so she can decide whether she wants a personal apology from Plaintiff and / or reimbursement at having to have her skirt drycleaned.”

These US Attorneys are cry babies. They never step out of their cubicles. They would never make it as street lawyers. I used to meet my criminal clients in lockup in the basement of the courthouse where I got blasted by the fresh smell of urine. Mentally disturbed clients attacking you was more of a concern than sticky gum.

There is an old saying amongst Floridians: “The further South you go the further North you go.” Southern Florida has a large population of New York Jewish lawyers, who have created a culture clash with the local Southern rednecks. In order to keep these Jew lawyers at bay Florida enacted rules preventing lawyers from the Northeast from setting up shop in Florida unless they pass the grueling Florida Bar exam.

Northern Florida, where this gum incident occurred, is part of the Bible Belt, heavily populated by Christian Fundamentalists, which New York Jews avoid at all costs. Jews also avoid Florida alligators. Alligators belong in the zoo, or used to make handbags, not in a backyard, chas’v’sholem!

A big shot Miami Jew lawyer named David Oscar Markus started a blog that follows the activities of the Federal Court of Southern Florida. This is what David had to say in his blog about the “gum incident” in Federal Court: “Who puts gum underneath a court table?  GROSS. And do we really need an order to show cause about it? Oy vey…”

How does David Oscar Markus get away with writing a blog about the gossip at the Federal Court in Northern Florida? If he practiced law in Connecticut, like me, he would face immediate discipline, sanction and censure for “slandering” the Judiciary, as what happened to my law license, read about it below.

NOODLES BLOG BANNED BY CONNECTICUT JUDICIARY

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 Judiciary 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.

As of the date of 6/4/2025 my law license has been suspended by the Connecticut Judiciary for almost ten years, on the basis that this blog is not acceptable to the Bar regulators. I have asked the Bar regulators, as well as Judicial authorities, 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, after many hearings, that my blog “needs to be permanently removed” before I can get my license back. 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 and highly regarded, Attorney Richard R. Brown. I would highly recommend his services should you ever have the unfortunate experience of getting in trouble with the law.

It is within your First Amendment right to criticize the Legislative and Executive Branches of Government, but apparently if you criticize the Judicial Branch of Government the First Amendment doesn’t apply, and you will be punished by the very Branch of Government that is supposed to be protecting your First Amendment rights from Government infringement. The members of the Connecticut Bar, the “Constitution” State, apparently do not have any understanding or respect for the First Amendment.

These are the names of some 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. These people voted to cancel the Larry Noodles blog: Chairwoman Kathleen Dunn (wife of Bridgeport State’s Attorney Kevin Dunn who is the Executive Director of the Judicial Review Council, the highly secretive order of lawmen who investigate complaints against judges, 98.5 percent of which get dismissed. Kevin’s first job was delivering newspapers to the Noodles family on Fairfield Beach), Edward F. Czepiga (boring PI lawyer who was mad that my hearing continued on to the afternoon, he thought my fair and impartial hearing would be over before lunch, when he complained to his secretary on the zoom camera that he forgot to turn off), Cindy Robinson (med mal lawyer – she berated me because my blog once used the highly offensive word “bimbo” which obviously makes me a misogynist, sexist pig unworthy to practice law in the State of Connecticut. Bimbo is one of the ten words you can’t say on a blog when you apply for readmission to the CT Bar. The other nine words are “Noodles” “Otisville” “Pedophile” “Conspiracy” “Feds” “Putz” “Goy” “Jew” and “Da Goat”), Doug Mahoney (med mal lawyer who used to work with Cindy Robinson at Tremont & Sheldon, next door to where I worked, for some reason left Tremont with Cindy to form their own law firm after 25 years of loyal service to the Tremonts, I guess they weren’t on the partnership track, but Paul Tremont’s son Jason became a partner. I once tried to help Doug track down a homeless guy who used our shared driveway as a bathroom, leaving soiled toilet paper behind. He was very upset at the homeless guy and ran over the city looking for him), Robert Lotty (worked as insurance defense lawyer for 300 years), Sean K. McElligott (med mal lawyer at Silver Golub & Teitell), Chairman Gary Friedle (semi retired with a handful of cases on the active docket – he berated me for not clearly distinguishing myself from Larry Noodles the character, the public could get me and my nickname confused. He seemed very confused during the hearing, he told me to shout for 7 hours because he couldn’t hear me and then got mad at me for not pronouncing his name properly. I didn’t realize that there were two ways to pronounce Friedle. Most people say “Fried-el” Apparently this man wants to be called “Freed-ELL” with an emphasis on the EL, I guess so his name doesn’t sound too Jewish like Friedman), New Haven State’s Attorney Kathleen Morgan (rookie prosecutor assigned to drug cases), John C. Matulis Jr. (PI lawyer, he asked me why I was too dumb to understand that my blog would anger the Committee. I guess I am not as smart as John C. Matulis Jr.) Rene Rosado (no website / no active cases listed on the civil, family or criminal court docket, but he voted to reinstate Mayor Joe Ganim to the CT bar, who committed crimes of a massive scale, and voted against me. He appears to work in an office in West Hartford above a nail salon), Kelly Barnett (insurance defense, counsel for The Travelers – I figured she would show sympathy, as a member of a minority group, but no such luck, her job is to deny claims and Noodle soup all day), David A. Curry (no website / no cases listed on civil, family or criminal docket, not clear what this man does for a living), and John B. Nolan (deceased – passed away during my hearings yet before he passed he yelled at me and told me I couldn’t be trusted with the public) and Marie Louise Villar (She works for the Statewide grievance committee that brings civil actions for attorney misconduct, such as stealing client’s money, not the most exciting, stressful or challenging job but her projected 2025 salary is 142K a year. She used to make under $30K a year for years, and got bumped up in 2019 for some reason. She derisively referred to my blogs at my hearing as “scathing.” She berated me for not “respecting” the rights of pedophile Rabbi Daniel Greer and chastised me for “inserting” myself in the Greer criminal trial by helping State’s Attorney Maxine Wilensky with the prosecution of Greer. I guess she would be much happier if I didn’t insert myself in the trial, which would have resulted in an acquittal of Mr. Greer, with far more Jewish victims of Greer’s child sex trafficking operation. The next time I have information about a pedophile rabbi I will not contact the authorities per the orders of Marie Louise Villar. She is in charge of regulating 35,000 lawyers in Connecticut but seems to spend most of her time focused on the few readmission cases that come before the Standing Committees.)

THE NOODLES STANDING COMMITTEE: This panel, which consists of one limp Noodle, will be monitoring the CT Bar reinstatement proceedings to insure that they are conducted fairly. There are a few pending hearings at this moment, one of which is a former graduate of Otisville. I heard he was recently questioned about a grievance filed against him in 1987, almost fifty years ago, by Chief Disciplinary Counsel Brian Staines, who makes $152K a year. Nice take home pay to interrogate an elderly zaidy with health issues. Protecting the public from the weak and frail members of the Bar.
