2005 DEPOSITION: Lawyer links judge to scheme
He says Mosley suggested records could be falsified
Donald Mosley
District Court judge tried to help girlfriend avoid foreclosure, lawyer says
In a deposition taken for a trial under way in Las Vegas, an attorney says District Judge Donald Mosley hatched a scheme to help his girlfriend avoid foreclosure on her home.
In a sworn deposition taken in May 2005, Las Vegas attorney James E. Guesman says Mosley in 2001 suggested payroll records could be falsified to make it appear Mosley's girlfriend, Tawanna Crabb, was employed, although she actually had been out of work for months.
Guesman's deposition goes on to say he withdrew as Crabb's bankruptcy lawyer after Mosley suggested that another local attorney could alter employment records to make it appear Crabb worked for the unnamed attorney. (DAVID WINTERTON)
Crabb subsequently named Guesman a defendant in her foreclosure-related lawsuit.When asked why Crabb didn't get a job, Guesman in his deposition states, "My opinion is that she had visions of grandeur. She had earned, I think, in the area of $50,000 at a job she'd had prior to getting in this financial difficulty, and she wasn't willing to look at any job other than one that would pay in that bracket. And I don't think she had the qualifications to -- at least didn't seem to have qualification to get a job in that bracket. ... I was encouraging her just go out and get a minimum wage job and we could do the reorganization (for the bankruptcy), and she just didn't do that."
Crabb eventually filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which doesn't offer the same level of protection from debtors as the Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection that Crabb had wanted.

The woman, who is black, had appeared as a prospective juror in the courtroom of Judge Donald Mosley.
.. Mosley ordered the woman to return Friday to the chief judge's courtroom for a hearing to see if she would be held in contempt. Prior to that order he had dismissed her from the jury and had told a bailiff: "You're instructed, if she tries to leave, cuff her." Then, to the woman, Mosley said, "You sit down, ma'am. I'll let you know when it's time to leave." Later he told the woman, "By virtue of your responses to my questions and that of counsel I have concluded that you are willfully attempting to obstruct this procedure." He told her that if she didn't appear Friday, "I guarantee you a warrant will issue and we'll be at your jobsite taking you out in cuffs."
Thursday, March 23, 2000 Las Vegas Review Journal; "MOSLEY ACCUSED OF ETHICS LAPSES". By Peter O'Connell.
The Judicial Discipline Commission contends a district judge breached a code of conduct 11 times. The state Judicial Discipline Commission on Wednesday accused District Judge Donald Mosley of violating judicial ethics on 11 occasions. The allegations are contained in a formal statement of charges filed by Reno attorney Mary Boetsch, a special prosecutor for the commission. The Judicial Discipline Commission contends Mosley twice violated the Nevada Code of Judicial Conduct when he used official court stationery to write two letters instructing school principals not to permit Terry Mosley, the mother of Mosley's son, to visit the child at school. The commission says Mosley violated the code on seven occasions in the case of Joe McLaughlin, who faced charges of burglary and robbery in Mosley's court and testified on the judge's behalf at a child custody hearing. The judge recused himself from McLaughlin's criminal case just before McLaughlin took the stand in the custody hearing. Local and federal authorities investigated McLaughlin's claim that Mosley reneged on a deal to levy a light sentence. No charges were ever filed, and Mosley said the allegation was "damned nonsense." The commission also says Mosley violated the Code of Judicial Conduct on two occasions involving the case of Robert D'Amore, who was arrested in June when he failed to pay restitution after pleading guilty to attempted theft. Though the case was before another judge, Mosley ordered the felon released on his own recognizance at the request of Barbara Orcutt, a friend of the judge and the employer. Discipline imposed $5000 and an ethics class.

"Chief District Judge Kathy Hardcastle subsequently intervened, instructing Leavitt to schedule a hearing on whether to take herself off the contempt case. That hearing has been set for Dec. 8."
When Terry Mosley filed her Motion To Recuse Judge Manoukian,(visiting judge) with evidence of numerous exparte communications between Judge Mosley and Judge Manoukian,it landed in front of Judge Hardcastle not the chief judge in family court. Hardcastle simply denied the motion (the following day) with no objection filed and NO HEARING.
In addition, Judge Hardcastle had previously recused on three separate cases involving Mosley, due to the appearance of impropriety in hearing a matter involving a fellow member of the bench.
In the same exparte court order signed, "Judge Kathy Hardcastle for Judge Manoukian", Judge Mosley is granted an emergency hearing to change custody scheduled for the same day and time as the "intended" hearing for the Motion To Recuse, (the hearing which never happened). Coincidence? Fix?
What exactly are the rules? Do they change during election time? Do they apply one way to Judge Mosley and another to others? Does Judge Kathy Hardcastle exceed the limits of your authority at her sole discretion?
