Re: Greenie's arrest warrant:
NO arrest warrant has been issued. The magistrate judge recommended that one be issued. The Magistrate judge is assigned to ADVISE the District judge. The document regarding the warrant which has been posted is an R&R, which means Report and Recommendation, he reported his findings and gave a recommendation to the District Judge in charge of the case. It is now up to the District judge to either accept it and write and issue a warrant (rare for a civil offense), reject it (and decline to issue a warrant), hold a hearing to get more evidence, or make a decision of his own.
Do you understand the difference between a magistrate judge and a district judge?
In federal court, there is a definite difference. A "judge" is an Article III judge, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. They serve for life and have full authority to decide cases to conclustion. A "magistrate" judge is an Article I judge who is generally appointed for a 10 year term. They are usually selected by the Article III judges in the district upon recommendation by a panel selected for that specific purpose. A magistrate judge can only handle preliminary matters (such as discovery) and can make recommendations to the Article III judge on dispositive issues.
The magistrate judge in our case is judge David Nuffer. The District judge is Clark Waddoups. Unless something is signed by Waddops, it's not the final word, and even something filed by Waddoups can be appealed or responded to.
Keep this in mind when you look at any documents posted. Feel free to post this on TMF.
Take care,
