Federal Court: Disbarred Lawyer Can’t Seek Judgeship

Federal Court: Disbarred Lawyer Can’t Seek Judgeship
Indiana/Lawyer by Dave Stafford-August 10, 2016

A disbarred Goshen lawyer who wanted to run for judge of Elkhart Circuit Court got nowhere trying to convince a federal judge he was wrongly denied the opportunity.

Joseph Lehman was disbarred in July for unauthorized practice of law following his suspension for two years in 2014 for violations including improperly managing his trust account, systemic negligence in representing clients, and disclosing confidential information through the improper disposal of closed case files.

Lehman said his application to be placed on the ballot was rejected by the Indiana Election Commission because he failed to provide a file-stamped statement of economic interest by the deadline. He asked the federal court to order the commission to place his name on the November ballot as the Democratic Party’s candidate “as no one else is now on the ballot for that position.” Lehman also accused at least one Republican candidate in the May primary of being among a group of four lawyers he accused of “pocketting (sic) forfeited bail money.”

“Lehman wants to be placed on the ballot as the Democratic candidate for Elkhart Circuit Court judge. But, to borrow from General Sherman, if nominated Lehman cannot run, and if elected he cannot serve,” District Judge Joseph S. Van Bokkelen wrote in an order issued Monday in the U.S. Court for the Northern District of Indiana, Hammond Division.

Van Bokkelen dismissed Lehman’s complaint as moot and denied his motion to proceed in his pro se complaint without pre-payment of fees and costs. He wrote that Lehman, who filed the complaint while he was suspended but before his disbarment, is ineligible to serve as a Circuit judge under Article 7, Section 7 of the Indiana Constitution, which requires a Circuit judge “shall have been duly admitted to practice law by the Supreme Court of Indiana. …”

“Accordingly, Lehman can prove no set of facts in support of his claim that would entitle him to relief,” Van Bokkelen wrote in Joseph C. Lehman v. Individual members of the Indiana Electoral Commission, 3:16-CV-458. The judge dismissed the claim after screening for frivolousness or failing to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.

Elkhart attorney Michael Christofeno won a four-way Republican primary race for Circuit Court judge and will be the lone candidate on the November ballot. There were no Democratic candidates for the spot on the primary ballot, and the party slated no candidate prior to the deadline. Longtime Circuit Court Judge Terry Shewmaker, a Republican who has been on the bench since 1998, did not seek re-election.

DOLLY PACKS THE HOUSE AT THE FORD CENTER

DOLLY PACKS THE HOUSE AT THE FORD CENTER

Evansville, IN – Another busy night in Evansville with Dolly Parton taking the stage at 7:30 on Wednesday evening. This is the second concert Ford Center hosted this week and brought thousands of people to the downtown area.

Dolly brought her high energy and delightful personality all night. Between songs, she would talk to the crowd and give stories of the famous Jolene, how she grew up and her family. She sang all of her fan favorites and even new songs that will be on her album she releases on August 19.

“It’s great to see these legendary country stars draw attendance equal to so many of the new acts coming through the Ford Center,” stated Ford Center’s Executive Director, Scott Schoenike.

And just like Monday night during the Def Leppard concert, when it was time for Lilly King to swim, you saw community pride as crowds surrounded the televisions on the concourse level to cheer on our local Olympian.

Continuing Ford Center’s five year anniversary celebration is John Fogerty – August 27, Cirque Du Soleil: Toruk – September 2-4, Make America Rock Again – September 12th, WWE LIVE – September 17 and I Love the 90’s – September 22.

Consumer Warning Avoid Phone Scams By Recognizing These Area Codes

0

 In an ongoing effort to protect Hoosiers from phone scams, Indiana Attorney General Greg Zoeller urges people to recognize and avoid certain area codes and phone numbers that are commonly used by scammers.

Zoeller also reminds Indiana residents to sign up for the state Do Not Call list by visiting www.IndianaConsumer.com or by calling 1.888.834.9969 before the next quarterly deadline on Tuesday, Aug. 16.

Avoid phone scams by recognizing these recurring fraudulent phone numbers and area codes:

  • Non-existent area code, like “000” and “123”
    If the number looks fake, chances are the call is probably a scam. Let a call from these area codes go unanswered.

  • Area code 202
    If you are not expecting a call from our nation’s capital, then be wary when a Caller ID number starts with 202. The caller may be an imposter claiming to be an agent of the U.S. Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) demanding payment for past-due taxes. This is the most common scam reported to the AG’s Office this year. The IRS has asked consumers to report IRS imposter scams here, or by calling the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration Complaint Hotline at 1.800.366.4484.

  • Area code 876
    Unless you have family or friends in Jamaica, be alert when you see area code 876 on your Caller ID. In the past year, Hoosiers have filed nearly 1,500 complaints about sweepstakes scam calls from this area code. The Federal Trade Commission has partnered with Jamaican law enforcement to fight telemarketing fraud. For more information about this scam, visit here.

  • Unfamiliar area code or number
    Many people have stopped answering calls from unknown numbers in far-flung places. If you are not expecting a call from Bismark, North Dakota or Tacoma, Washington, it is probably best to ignore it.

  • Same area code and exchange as your number
    If you receive a call from your own number, or a number that is only a couple of digits removed from your number, be very wary. Telemarketers are known to employ a type of spoofing known as “Caller ID mirroring,” which involves transmitting a number close to the number they are calling to get someone to pick up the phone. Once you answer, your number may go on a list of valid phone numbers sold to other telemarketers or scammers.

  • Generic names, like “Card Services” or “Home Security”
    The Caller ID name can also provide a clue to a potential scam or telemarketing violation. A generic sounding name like “Card Services” informs consumers the call may be a robocall or a scam.

For more tips on avoiding phone scams, visit here. The next quarterly deadline to register cellular and landline residential phone numbers on the Do Not Call list is by midnight on Tuesday, Aug.16.

Hoosier-Grown Trailer Manufacturer Expanding in Elkhart County

1

Indianapolis - inTech Trailers, a custom aluminum trailer manufacturer, announced plans today to expand its operations in Indiana, creating up to 60 new high-wage jobs.

“Look at the intersection of manufacturing and motorsports, and you’ll find inTech Trailers,” said Governor Mike Pence. “inTech Trailers is an Indiana homegrown success story, launching here with the support of a manufacturing workforce that employs one in every five Hoosiers and a business climate built for growth. Today this company sells its trailers around the world, demonstrating once again that Indiana is a national manufacturing leader.”

The homegrown Hoosier company will invest $1.67 million to expand operations across its campus at 1940 W. Market St. in Nappanee. inTech Trailers has purchased 3.5 acres of land adjacent to its current property and plans to build a new 42,000-square-foot facility. With construction expected to begin this month, the company will install a full production line to manufacture motorsports trailers at its new facility, requiring new equipment such as saws, forklifts, welding machines, overhead cranes, scaffolds, hydraulic shears and hydraulic brakes. As part of its growth, the company recently completed a renovation of an 8,000-square-foot insulated and heated production facility, which was formerly used for cold storage.

inTech Trailers, which currently employs 80 full-time associates, plans to begin hiring skilled production and office support associates in January, with new positions expected to pay on average nearly 40 percent more than the state’s average wage. Interested applicants may apply by calling inTech Trailers at 574.773.9536 or by submitting an application at its facility.

“Indiana is the perfect place to attract top talent for our business,” said Adam Maxwell, chief executive officer of inTech Trailers. “Here in Nappanee, we’re proud to have a strong team of skilled engineers, craftsmen and professionals helping us build custom trailers that are sold around the world. And with Indiana’s world-class business climate, we couldn’t have found a better place to grow and thrive.”

Founded in 2010, inTech Trailers designs and manufactures custom all-aluminum trailers, which are sold across the nation. The company’s engineers utilize 3D CAD software to customize its trailers, which are then produced with a small shop-based production method. inTech Trailers has seen increased demand to produce trailers for racing and motorsports operations, particularly quarter midget and kart racing, which is a major driving force for its current growth. Earlier this year, the company was recognized by the Nappanee Chamber of Commerce as one of its three Excellence in Business award recipients.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered inTech Trailers Inc. up to $450,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Nappanee will consider additional incentives.

“Nappanee is excited to see inTech Trailers’ continued growth in the community,” said Nappanee Mayor Phil Jenkins. “The company’s commitment to quality products and customer service fits well with Nappanee’s tradition of successful local businesses. We are pleased to partner with inTech as they look at adding facilities to increase production and improve efficiency.”

Manufacturing companies like inTech Trailers continue to find the workforce and business climate they need to expand in Indiana. Since July 2009, manufacturing companies have created 89,900 new jobs in the Hoosier state at a rate that ranks second in the nation. Indiana continues to have the highest concentration of manufacturing jobs of all states.
