Question presented
Facts: Both cases were originally assigned to the same trial court judge, Chief Judge Bain (J.Bain) who was extremely prejudiced and disqualified himself. Nonetheless, J.Bain remained “with jurisdiction” and illegally appointed his replacement judge. The Colorado Court of Appeals (COA) have decided that, throughout its 22 judicial districts and its COA, any prejudiced disqualified Chief Judge, with a conflict of interest, remains with unfettered powers to pick the judge that he desires to decide your case. The judiciary now have the appearance and ability to make highly partisan judicial assignments to influence the outcome of every case. Question 1. Whether Petitioner’s Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process and equal protection were violated when Colorado allowed disqualified, prejudiced Chief Judges with a conflict of interest to pick whatever judge they want to decide Petitioner’s case? Facts: The judge, with actual bias, found that Petitioner is a fit father, and signed her order on 9/15/16 finding, “(E)ach party has demonstrated an ability to care for their... daughter.” Yet, her Order did not allow M.M. to share any overnights, holidays, or special days with her dad, even during the most critical formative years of her life. The order did not allow Petitioner to travel with M.M. to visit his family or to practice his religion. It did not mandate that Ms. Lee allow M.M.’s dad to be involved in major decisions for M.M.. The 9/15/16 Order was made final on 10/26/20. .
