Judges in Memphis are like the frontier judges in they do what they wish and the law be damned.
No. but the case gets mooted.
That judge needs to be off the bench and disbarred.
Nothing Klayman gets involved with ever seems to go anywhere. His game seems to be to hook up with cases that have media potential and use them to help his "legal foundation" raise money.
interesting, thanks for the link.

// Fields is alleged to have allowed Mrs. Ghawji's local Tennessee counsel to withdraw, without good cause, during the Christmas holiday period and just days before trial, according to a statement released by the Nashville office of The Klayman Law Firm, which is representing Ghawji in the complaint.
In addition, the release states, one of Ghawji's out-of-state lawyers was forced to take the witness stand and divulge information about attorney-client communications during the hearing.
"To coerce the lawyer to testify, Judge Fields threatened him with fabricated criminal charges of kidnapping based on the simple fact that the Ghawji children had not gone to school that day," attorneys said in a statement. //

silly or naive question, where is the FBI in all this? if she was an informant for them ... isn't it a critical point that her life, and those of her children are in danger? DUH!?! Why is this being left up to an apparent yahoo judge?
Typically, judges issue this kind of a nonsensical ruling as an expression of their own personal political views. In this case, she's probably trying to tweak George W. Bush's nose.
I wonder what her financial situation is, how effectively is he controlling her purse strings? local lawyer backs out ... out of fear? ("local Tennessee counsel [allowed] to withdraw, without good cause...")
I sent this story about Mrs. Ghawji to the author of that book I posted.
Hopefully they may be able to connect.
The only thing the Florida judge ruled is that he did not have jurisdiction because it was a Tennessee divorce.
Good, I hope that helps. I'm very concerned for this woman.
I wonder if she has family able to help? Her husband is a prominent Memphis endocrinologist, she's having trouble getting/keeping local lawyer (fear?), and she's being totally dropped by FBI when they should be protecting her and some IDIOT judge who can't connect dots and is treating an 18 yr old son as a minor ... Unfreakinbelievable.

// And Mrs. Ghawji, if her allegations are correct, is up against more than just a judicial system and a divorce trial; but against some of the most radical factions in the world today, including the adherents of blind Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, now serving a life sentence in the SuperMax prison in Colorado on accusations he helped in the planning of the 1993 World Trade Center bombings in New York.
The couple married in 1986, and she said she noticed her husband's unusual activities almost from the beginning. She said between 1987 and 1992 she often waited in the women's room of a mosque for hours while her husband was meeting with Rahman, and later the FBI visited her and asked about some of her husband's acquaintances, including a man the FBI described as being on a "terrorist watch list" who had rented an apartment from her husband. //
Interesting, in a USF sort of way. He's at UT Memphis in the Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism

The government just sent her back after this? Doesn't she belong in some kind of witness protection program. This story does not add up.
TN judges, in my opinion, are some of the worst in the country, combining sheer stupidity, ignorance of written law and precedents, corruption, ('Rat) political hackery, and zero common-sense. How many times have you heard the phrase, "that great Tennessee jurist ?" You haven't, because they don't exist. Best example of a TN jurist: Supreme Court Justice and LBJ appointee Abe Fortas. This guy was so ethically-challenged and toxic that a large chunk of the 'Rats didn't want him to serve as Chief Justice when Earl Warren resigned.
This local cretin is merely your average TN fraud-in-a-robe.
c'mon, this has got to be much worse than average!

this is just criminal. why can we not see decisive action against such crap?
"To coerce the lawyer to testify, Judge Fields threatened him with fabricated criminal charges of kidnapping based on the simple fact that the Ghawji children had not gone to school that day," attorneys said in a statement. //
If your lawyer (one who is supposed to know the law) falls for 'fabricated criminal charges' then you need a new lawyer.
Nope, this is not even surprising anymore. Remember former TN Supreme Court Justice Adolpho "Papa Smurf" Birch ? This pig-in-a-blanket authored the decision that the rape and brutal murder of an elderly virgin wasn't heinous enough to warrant the death penalty. We rewarded this vermin with naming our new courthouse after him in Nashville.
"And when she winds up dead, does the judge get disbarred?"
At the very least, he should be impeached.
iow, it just goes from bad to worse... sorry to hear that!
