The oral arguments in Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance v. Carlos Moore, Municipal Court Judge are postponed. The proceeding was scheduled for Tuesday but Mr. Moore asked for a continuance due to a death in the family of his attorney, Terris Harris.
The Court granted the request and will schedule the hearing for a later date. The order states:
The instant matter is before the undersigned Justice on the request that oral argument in this case be rescheduled. Oral argument for this case was originally set for Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. Counsel for the Respondent, Carlos Moore, requests that the Court reschedule the argument due to a death in the family. After due consideration, this Court finds that the request should be granted. The oral argument on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, is canceled and shall be rescheduled for a later date.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that oral argument on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. is canceled and shall be rescheduled for a later date.
The Commission (no, not that Commission) suspended
then-Grenada Municipal Court Judge Carlos Moore from the bench for six
years and fined him $6,000. The attorney refused to take his
butt-whupping* and appealed the decision to the Mississippi Supreme
Court.
Attorney Terris Harris represents Mr. Moore. Earlier post on sanctions.

More attorney tactics to get out of the crime by legal tricks.
If they had denied his motion, that would have given him ammunition for his inevitable rant of Mississippi racism. Now he'll have to find something else.
And he will. Oh well.
3:35, Moore hasn't been charged with a crime in this case.
Save your attacks on the American legal system for another post, Comrade.
This could drag on for years.
Just like this one did which recently concluded after five years when the parties signed the stipulated decision. https://dawson.ustaxcourt.gov/case-detail/12505-19
No 36 on the docket has a date of October 3, 2022, one day before
You guys act like this guy is a crook! You do realize he has a law degree don’t you!!!
The judge should do the same thing many employers do in this situation. Require him to present a copy of the funeral 'bulletin' which mentions him as a relative or pall-bearer.
I used to work with a woman who said her father had been married four times. At least every other month for years she would request 'bereavement leave' for a funeral for one of her half brothers or sisters.

Thanks for that bit of levity.
@7:33
I can’t help but assume you’re being sarcastic and clever. This guy has a law degree but make no mistake he is a full fledged moron!!! Absolute clown 🤡
Death is whose family ? Carlos Moore or Terris Harris ? FB says that the clown is returning from Los Vegas on Monday.
Look at the pleadings in this case. Moores entire case is that he is the beneficiary of First Amendment protections allowing him to ignore the Judicial Canons regarding commentary on cases before his court or making racially charged statements that could reasonably interpreted as showing a racial bias in his decision making. He cites two cases involving other judges to support his position that the commission is overreaching in its recommendation for a six year suspension.
However, he ignores that he is in court for at least the third time for violating the judicial canons of conduct. He specifically talks about the Boland case where the judge said all black people could go to hell. He doesn’t say her conduct was okay but rather his sanction should be more like hers. Unlike Moore, Boland was in Dutch with the judicial performance commission for one case only. Moore has been there multiple times. He even entered into an agreement with the commission regarding the very conduct at issue in this matter. He AGREED to self chill his own speech in the prior case and now says he is first amendment rights are superior to the judicial canons.
I think the Court will issue a relatively short opinion that essentially calls bullsh!t on Moore.
Terris Harris
Just a small point. Courts generally ID the parties as having taken some procedural action, such as making a motion or asking for a continuance, but it is generally the attorney for the party who actually asks/motions, etc. for the party named even if/when the party is an attorney themselves. IAC Moore didn't ask for the continuance, his attorney Harris did and moreover the death was allegedly in Harris' family, not Moore's. And I say "allegedly" only because I don't know anyone involved and cannot state as a fact that anyone died - I have no reason to doubt or disbelieve (or believe) Harris. I would suggest that lying about it for any reason would be a pretty stupid move and doing it as a delay tactic would (or should) have serious consequences for Harris at a minimum.
In on one!
