The Clown Clowns

 The Grenada Star reported an underdressed Carlos Moore arrived nearly an hour late for his own public reprimand Monday.  The story is reprinted below with the permission of the publication.  


.Kingfish note: The sanctions continue to pile up against the Clown: 


* The Mississippi Workers Comp Commission sanctioned him for $500 in 2017 for throwing a tantrum at a hearing. Earlier post. 

 * The Mississippi Court of Appeals ordered Carlos Moore to pay sanctions of $27,467 after he failed to appear in court for a trial because he had a "speaking engagement" in Texas. Earlier post. 
* Mississippi Bar reprimanded him in 2020 for ignoring an assignment of a Client's funds and providing the funds to the client. Earlier post. 
Federal judge in North Mississippi sanctioned Moore for $3,000 in 2017 for fabricating statements, memos, and not responding to discovery.
*  U.S. District Judge Carlton Reeves sanctioned Moore $500 in the Belhaven case after he found Moore's client destroyed evidence in 2017.  Earlier post. 
*  The Tennessee Bar censured the Grenada attorney in 2019 after he placed a lien on a client because she rejected a settlement offer he recommended.  Earlier post.

* The estate of Kendrick Murry sued him (pro se) in September 2020 in Forrest County Circuit Court for alleged legal malpractice of a case.  Earlier post.  However, the lawsuit has not been prosecuted since the initial filing of the complaint.  Mr. Moore has not been served with the lawsuit.

Then there is the recent case in Oxford.  The Clown got caught fabricating statements in a wrongful death lawsuit.

* Last but not least is the subject of the current post. The Mississippi Supreme Court suspended Grenada Municipal Court Judge Pro-Tem  Carlos Moore for 60 days without pay after he he used his position as a judge to pressure two police officers for a private client.  Earlier post.

The longer this clown keeps his law license, the more the entire bar suffers. It’s time to grow a pair and do the needful.

Should be disbarred, but the MS Bar is too worried about looking "political".

Bar is a joke. Took a dive on at least five legit complaints against RSS.

Unless you steal client money, the bar isn't going too do a thing. A total joke.

The bar tends to be "woke" when considering sanctions on a sub-set of its members.

I don't blame him. Hell, I would not have bothered to show up at all if I were him.

He knows they wont touch him. The MS bar is like an old toothless pit bull with 3 legs.

Nothing to be scared of.

This is essentially rewarding bad behavior. It's not just the Bar that is dysfunctional; Mississippi is dysfunctional, but y'all are so provencial you don't know how the rest of the country functions.

Municipal Court Judge is a part-time APPOINTED, Not Elected position. This means the clown's tenure on the bench is at the will and pleasure of the mayor and city council. What is THEIR agenda? They are obviously not receiving good judicial performance, so what are they receiving?

This one's on the circuit judge, especially if the judge waited for an hour without any other court business to conduct.

Also, Moore should have been sent home and told to return wearing proper attire, i.e, not blue jeans.

10:07 Not really. I don't think Carlos is an Ole Miss grad.

Anonymous said...

10:20 that's so true! Likewise, I wonder why the Bar doesn't see the mockery this guy (and others like him) is making of them? You would think they would want to be considered to be an honorable and necessary arm of the MS Bar, but I suppose the legal profession has fallen so far since the late 70's (e.g. the incessant fomenting of litigation by the personal injury bar, the political persecution by the "civil rights" bar, etc.) that it's not worth the effort for them to care anymore.

At the end of the day, the vast majority of attorneys would have long since been prevented from practicing law, had they done even a PORTION of what Carlos the Clown has done; however, he's become enough of an infamous "celebrity" that I guess the Bar feels they're powerless (maybe unwilling) to stop him. Unfortunately, all he's doing - with each horrendous infraction - is lessening the Bar's practical authority to do anything to stop him.....and, like 10:20 said, he KNOWS it!

Although I don't know anybody in Grenada, I especially liked reading the obits and shopper ads.

I liked reading an actual newspaper. This paper doesn't copy and paste from Gannett articles of "news" that everyone saw on the internet last week.

10:45am hits the nail on the head.

Just throw away the whole state!

11:06...since when is a certain type of trou required in a courtroom?

@9:47 - "Do the needful"? Do you think this is a Stephen King movie?

MS Bar association has gone downhill ever since they decided to allow lawyers to advertise…. 😂

12:02 PM The Grenada Star is an Emmerich paper. The Emmerich papers do have good local coverage.

I grew up in Grenada, but always tried to avoid the scene of that shooting-Satan's Sidekick Clubhouse. I admit that I did once inadvertently enter it as I misread the sign and thought it was SANTA's Sidekick Club and thought that elves might be there. Please excuse my dyslexia. I was so disappointed that Will Ferrell was not there, but a few folks were getting very excited about the upcoming Halloween holiday, not Christmas as I expected.

4:28: That was the norm for those appearing in front of the bar (the bar is that little fence that blocks off parties and their counsel from the rest of the courtroom).

So to answer your question, since any currently-living attorneys were first permitted to practice law.

Let's face facts. There is no Mississippi Bar Association.

There is just an old-fashioned union collecting union dues from the attorney association union.

MS Bar. When I hear that I think of a bunch of "Suits" types standing around a real bar counter drinking cheap as shit Bourbon making believe it's high dollar scotch thinking about what it would have been like to go to Harvard or Yale.

Actually, Carlos is not the clown. The Bar is the clown factory.

The Bar will drop the hammer on you if your trust account is off by a penny.

Anything else they pretend not to see.

For all you "constitutionalists":

A holder of a professional license has a constitutionally-protected property right in that license. Unlike a driver's license, a professional license is a right, not a privilege.

I too wish someone would drop the hammer on this buffoon. But, as the Mississippi Supreme Court has said, "The revocation of a professional license is a matter of the most serious consequences."

Anonymous said...

@ 2:22 p.m. It’s clear why you are not a constitutionalist. See, In Re Fox, 296 So.2d 701 (Miss. 1974). “The right to practice law is not a constitutional or natural right, but a revocable privilege.”

5:56:

"The holder of a license issued by the government that entitles the holder to perform specific kinds of work to earn a living has a protected property interest in the license and must be afforded due process before being deprived of the license."
. . .

The revocation of a professional license is a matter of the most serious consequences.

Miss. State Bd. of Contrs. v. Hobbs Constr., LLC, 291 So. 3d 762, (Miss. 2020) (en banc).

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
