Attorney seeks
removal of judge
in Wal-Mart suit
FORT WORTH (AP) — An at
torney questioning the impartial
ity of District Judge Bruce Auld
in presiding over a lawsuit against
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. has is filing
i motion seeking Auld’s removal
from the case.
The motion filed last week by
plaintiff attorney Wallace Craig
said Auld is involved in a parental
rights and adoption proceeding
against a woman represented by
Craig.
Craig asked the Texas Su
preme Court to appoint a judge
to decide whether Auld should
should continue presiding over
the suit against Wal-Mart.
Craig claims that Auld’s impar
tiality “might reasonably be ques
tioned” because of involvement in
both cases.
“I have verified by indepen
dent sources (Rhonda Thorpe)
Christian’s allegation that Bruce
Auld was the attorney handling
the termination and adoption
proceedings in which Auld and
his wife were adopting parents,”
Craig said in a sworn affidavit
filed in the Tarrant County Civil
District Clerk’s Office.
Auld has ref used, so far, to ex
cuse himself from the Wal-Mart
suit.
Some Texas federal judges
get paid for doing nothing
Poll shows 1/3 of inactive judges get full salaries
HOUSTON (AP) — One-third of the senior federal
judges in Texas are collecting full salaries and nearly
won a 50 percent pay raise even though they do no
work, according to an Associated Press survey.
Of the 15 judges on senior status, meaning they have
retired but may continue to work, five do not hear
cages.
Last month, the Associated Press reported that na
tionally 20 percent of all senior federal judges stood to
collect the pay raise, eventually rejected by Congress,
even though they no longer handle court cases.
A complex retirement system allows the judges to re
duce their caseloads sharply while still cjualifying for ac
tive-duty pay increases.
The inactive senior judges in Texas include James
Noel Jr., Carl O. Bue and Owen Cox, all of Houston;
Joe Ewing Estes of Dallas and 5th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals Judge Joe McDonald Ingraham of Houston.
Noel performed his last judicial duty in 1978 after
taking senior status in 1976.
Bue retired in 1987 and has not heard a case, accord
ing to Jesse Clark, clerk for the Southern District of
Texas, headquartered in Houston.
Cox retired in 1981, did substantial work for most of
a year until he became ill and is now on a life-support
system, Clark said.
Estes’ personnel director, Ellen Cole, said thejudge is
bedridden.
She did not know when he took his last case.
Ingraham, who retired in 1973, has not heard a case
since 1984, according to Lydia Comberrel, a spokesman
for the appellate court.
Bue and Ingraham did not return numerous calls
from the AP. Estes declined to take calls, Cole said.
Noel said his decision to opt for senior status was “a
matter of choice.”
He added that he regularly travels to his office to
manage what he termed “extensive investments.”
Although judges may opt to retire through resigna
tion, senior status is by far the more popular option
with 306 federal judges in the country choosing to do
so.
Congress created the senior judge category in 1919
as a way of luring older jurists to help ease court work
loads.
Most of the Texas senior judges still working are crit
ical of Congress for not granting them a pay raise.
In Texas, the workload is heavy.
And the Southern District has the biggest backlog of
cases in the country. In addition, there are two vacan
cies created by the resignation of U.S. District Judge
Gabrielle McDonald and the retirement last year of
John V. Singleton, Clark said.
The district also was recommended to expand by
three judges in 1982, but that has not happened,
according to the clerk.
“I try as many cases, but I don’t manage a docket,”
Judge Woodrow Seals of Houston, who took senior sta
tus in 1982, says of his workload.
“I’ve been trying cases since I retired. I only try the
cases other judges can’t handle. If I can take a case that
lasts two months off their dockets, they’ll be able to
dear a lot of other cases. I don’t mind working hard.”
When Singleton retired as chief judge for the South
ern District in Houston, he transferred all 300 cases
pending in his court. He also takes other civil cases.
