Manhattan, N.Y. December 12th 2011: In the latest farce in Chief Justice Lippman's administration of the NYS Judicial system, His Honor has rewarded Judge Rolando Acosta for his numerous violations of the Judicial Code of Conduct by appointing him to the Judicial Conduct Commission as an overseer of judicial violations and rules. Judge Acosta is best known for his outrageous abuse of discretion when he entertained "ex parte" evidence from an attorney fired from a case for cause, and then used his authority to intimidate and coerce the litigant into agreeing to a behind the scenes deal on a $1.3M legal fee, a matter NOT before the Court. Judge Acosta, whose nickname is "nuclear"', threatened and bullied a female disabled plaintiff in a discrimination case where he had sustained the jury verdict, but then set the case up for reversal on appeal with Chief Judge LIPPMAN and the First Department. Acosta, defying JCC Rules, dismissed the allegationsas "baseless"', a self serving denial that the Chief Judge accepted without investigation. The Plaintiff underwent a polygraph to prove Acosta was lying. It would prove unnecessary. The vindictive jurist the set about carrying out various threats he made in Chambers on April 3rd, 2006 to fix the Plaintiffs Malpractice cases as well. Acosta manipulated himself to be first the trier of fact on those matters, and later the Appellate judge. He was asked to recuse several times. It is now believed that Judge Acosta had a direct economic interest in the reversal of his own case on appeal.

Acosta played a key role in the "fixing" of the Jordan v. Bates case. Without his role in disrupting the case after it was tried, the case would have been "appeal proof" . Acosta's immediate reward was to be promoted to the Appellate Division, to enable Judge Gonzales promotion to Chief Judge of Appellate Division and the subsequent advancement of Chief Judge LIPPMAN. All three judges are now defendants in a "Case Fixing" RICO case.

END has called the appointment of Judge Acosta to the JCC "Terrific...it not only confirms Chief Judge Lippman's exemplary executive skills, it confirms what was alleged on 2009, that these men had entered into a enterprise to manipulate and obstruct justice".

END President Jordan said that the appointment was unfortunate because it appeared that the JCC had "turned a corner" in attempting to tighten Judicial conduct rules. "They still don't address "case fixing" but it's a start". END called the appointment of Acosta "an admission of guilt by Judge LIPPMAN to several predicate acts of fraud over an extended period of time". The appointment certainly appear to be an extension of the case fixing scheme they all put into play in 2006.

The biggest beneficiary of the scheme was WPP Group who lost the jury trial but them apparently brokered a deal with the Panel via DBR and arranged for the verdict to be reversed by the LIPPMAN Panel, the latter resorting to tampering with the evidentiary record, using evidence from a sealed file and relying on another " fixed case" Stephenson v Hotel Employees, to justify an otherwise frivolous appeal.

END sees this latest development as evidence of an "ongoing criminal enterprise" that began when LIPPMAN"s name was nominated,and which apparently continues to this date. "The indisputable fact is that all three judges (Acosta, Gomzales, LIPPMAN)effected serious violations of Canon II and III, and should have been removed from office immediately. Now they are so remorseful for their brazen extra judicial acts that they are appointing each other to the very body that should have samctioned them.
