That clerk’s behavior sounds an awful lot like that of Supreme Court Stay Clerk, Danny Bickel...

Let me guess - did the clerk wait a week without saying anything to Irion (about any problems with the filing) because the papers had to be tested for anthrax?

Here we go again. The same suspicious behavior, the same crappy rulings. Somebody needs to monitor the communications of the clerks and judges in question - IMMEDIATELY.

the law does not give a clerk the right to make a legal determination of what to file and what not to file. That is the courts duty. However, if he does question you, ask him these three questions;

(1) to show in your states code what his job is. Point out to him the law (it’s the same in every state or close enough for government work); if he still does not record your documents, then

(2) demand a copy of his surety bond and

(3) the name of his insurance carrier for that bond
