Magistrate Johnson had failed to sign the order granting me immediate distribution of my property settlement [from August 19, 2010 hearing].
I faxed the attached letter and documents [see below] to all six county judges [Judge Alexa; Judge Bradford; Judge Chidester; Judge Harper; Judge Jent; Judge Thode]. I requested that one of the judges step in and sign the order.
In response to my fax, a judge did sign the order [see below]. However, it is unclear as to which judge stepped in, as their signature was partially whited-out and Judge Bradford's rubber stamp was placed over it. Judge Bradford was Magistrate Johnson's boss.
To the best of my knowledge, the Porter County judges did not forward this FAX to the Indiana Judiciary Commission [Johnson was under investigation at the time], or report Johnson's possible retaliation against a whistle blower to the proper authorities.
After my September 22nd FAX to each of the Porter County judges, the August 19th court order, granting me immediate distribution of my property settlement, was signed.
It is unclear which judge originally signed the order, as the judge's signature was partially whited out and Judge Roger Bradford's [Johnson's boss] rubber stamp was affixed over the original judge's signature.
