Former Judge Samuel Kent Files Motion Alleging Abuse in Prison

Former Judge Samuel Kent has been placed in the position of filing complaints as an inmate in Texas. He is serving 33-months for obstruction of justice after he lied about allegations involving groping and sexual assault of two female court employees. He claims to have been abused as a prisoner due to his status as a former federal judge.

His attorney, Dick DeGuerin, filed the motion in U.S. District Court in Houston asking for resentencing. One of the more troubling allegations — besides verbal and physical abuse — is that Kent has been denied access to a federal substance abuse program that would have allowed him to reduce his sentence by as much as a year. I do not see why he would be denied such access to the program.

The filing states “[t]he Federal Bureau of Prisons has subjected Sam Kent to abusive psychological and physical conditions that have jeopardized his ongoing recovery from severe depression and alcoholism, while arbitrarily prohibiting him from participation in rehabilitative programs.”

  1. I have the court transcripts in which Nottingham and his co conspirators made repeated threats of violence under color of law if I filed papers in my federal civil lawsuit. I have a motion filed in PACER threatening to have my husband incarcerated by Nottingham unless I withdrew my civil lawsuit. What more proof do I need? I did complain to the Colorado and the District of Columbia attorney regulation counsel. The Colorado Attorney Regulation Counsel first said that it was not a violation of their rules and then they said that they would not accept my complaints. The DC Attorney Regulation Counsel said that they would not process my complaints because the courts said they would not process my complaints. The District of Minnesota said they would not process my complaint because I am not a lawyer. The 8th Circuit said they would not process my complaint because I am not a lawyer. The 10th Circuit said they would not process my complaints and that if I complained again they would send them back. The DC Court said they would not process my complaints because DOJ gave itself immunity for unlawful imprisonment and extortion by publishing the Prisoner Tracking System in the Federal Register even though the plain language of 5 USC Section 552a says that the records themselves must concern a criminal prosecution or a criminal investigation. I filed an appeal.

    I talk about this where ever I can. I think it is very important that as many people as possible know that the ABA itself has attacked Access to Courts, the Foundation of Democracy.

    What am I supposed to do with my ruined life? Commit suicide? If that is the case, then I might as well warn as many people as I can about crooked lawyers and extortion.

  2. Kay if you feel you were really injured and that you have adequate proof,did you send a report to the bar? (or whatever agency oversees judges)….I can see that you feel very unheard in your situation, just not sure why you think this is the place to talk about it….unless you think you are getting some kind of revenge?

  6. Buddha,

    This is the first time that I have had to opportunity to really respond. I think that was a provoking statement. I think you are doing fine now. Keep that extra roll of foil you’ll never know when it will come in handy…..lol

  11. Here is some news

    A judge has no First Amendment right to belittle and berate litigants in her courtroom, the Washington Supreme Court ruled in ordering that a state district judge be suspended for five days without pay.

    “Given the voluminous testimony at trial documenting Judge Eiler’s rude, discourteous,undignified, and demeaning treatment of the attorneys and pro se litigants who appeared before her, we find that clear, cogent, and convincing evidence demonstrates that Judge Eiler violated Canon 3(A)(3).

  14. irrelevant \-vənt\. adj.,
    : not relevant : inapplicable (that statement is irrelevant to your argument)

  15. What I am saying and writing isn’t “nonsense” at all. People who aren’t lawyers and can’t afford or don’t want to pay a lawyer are entitled to go to Court and get the written rules followed.

  16. I didn’t get caught lying. I verified thousands of pages of court filings under penalty of perjury and no one found perjury or fraud in it yet. The lawyers billed to go through my emails looking for threatening statements but didn’t report any.

  17. PS Nottingham hasn’t been a judge for two years. What the 10th Circuit wrote about Nottingham includes “alleged
    that he spent more than $3,000 at a topless nightclub in one evening, that he could not remember how he had spent that much money because he had a lot to drink….may have violated court policy by viewing sexually explicit images on his court computer… the Special Committee determined that Judge Nottingham may have made false statements in his initial response to the allegations regarding computer use and in a transcribed interview…alleging that he had been a client of prostitution businesses in violation of Colorado law, had misused his court-owned cell phone in making calls to prostitutes, and had made false statements during the investigation…complainant alleged that she had been a prostitute and that Judge Nottingham had been one of her clients. She further alleged that on February 29, 2008, Judge Nottingham asked her to lie to federal investigators about the nature of their relationship and not to disclose that she was a prostitute whom he paid in exchange for sex.”

  18. Then he apparently takes you as seriously as I do.

    Which is to say, not at all.

    Maybe you can sell your bullshit to Oprah. She seems to like professional victims. Just be sure not to get caught lying (including major distortions) because ol’ O doesn’t have much of a sense of humor about that sort of thing.

    But I’m going to set you back to /ignore.

    I’ve already spent more time addressing your nonsense than it merits.

  19. Nottingham said in Court in Dec 2007 that he was aware of what I said about him in blogs and he has made no effort to prove that anything I said was incorrect. I have the same address as I’ve had for years and have heard nothing from him.

    Federal incarceration requires a federal statute and written procedure and Wikipedia doesn’t count.

    The plain language of the Witness Intimidation statute uses the word “whoever” not “whoever is not a judge”.

  20. kay,

    You can think what you like about me – and I hate to break this to you – because I really don’t care what you think. You’ve only proven one thing to me up to this point and that is that thinking isn’t your strong suit. And I’m all for using proof to make judgments.

    Just Google “contempt of court”. Even the Wiki entry should answer your question. Go on.

    Or better yet . . .

    Maybe you’ll get lucky and someone will e-mail Judge Nottingham a link to this page and he can explain contempt of court to you personally.

    Right before he sues you for defamation.

    Not me, of course. Because quite simply I don’t care enough to look up his e-mail. He’s a big judge. He can fend for himself.

    I may be a lot of things, but stupid enough to libel a judge using my real name isn’t one of them.

    Have a nice day.

    I’m going to have a nice steak.
