This complaint is in regards to what I consider to be vast, legal , negligence, at the hands of a judge who is power hungry and biased. The clerk that handle this case in town court I feel also has some blame for this serious series of errors. This judge already has a bad reputation through out the community and many lawyer as being biased and unfair. On April 19, 2002 I was arrested for one charge of delinquency of a minor in my home town of Whitestown. This charge is a Class A misdemeanor according to the New York penal laws. Basically the charge was for giving my friend Anthony Calenda beer while he was under the age of 21. This charge was eventually pleaded down between my lawyer and the district attorney to a simple violation of law and a fine, for something like criminal trespassing.
I was assured by my lawyer that once this case was closed and all was said and done, I should not have any criminal record. From what I know this should be true to this day. However, after being appointed to a civil service job that required me to have a full criminal background check threw Albany, this charge is still showing as an active and open class A misdemeanor case. In other words this case was never closed and my record was never corrected by the town court. Mistakes like this should not be made when dealing with some ones criminal background. This judge and his clerks never sent the right paper work to Albany, where this should have taken place five or so years ago. So for over five years I have this charge on my criminal record unknowingly, a charge I was never really even convicted of. A charge this is a class A misdemeanor.
Now my family and me have been trying to get these records from the court for my employer who wants them as soon as humanly possible. We’ve been asking town police officers, calling town judges, even calling the clerk at home to get these records cause my job that I would really like to keep depends on this. However, no one is willing to help us until Tuesday, the one day of the week when town court is open. It seems like no one cares about me or the great deal of trouble they have caused me or my family. Hopefully Tuesday the day when town court is supposed to be open isn’t to late for me to get this document and keep my civil service job.
Now I’m in fear of losing my great job and am trying to fight my embarrassment among the folks at human resources. That is if I am able to keep the job now! This should have never happen. Because this court never took 5 minutes to send the right documents to where they should have gone my career and whole life is disrupted. Do you believe I have recourse against the judge, clerks or town court???
