Congrats to Judge Snow on her retirement. She had her party last week, with wonderful speeches for Judge Dimitrouleas, Judge Torres, and Bruce Zimet. Here's some photos from the fiesta:

OMG. How many years has she been a magistrate. She has been serving S/FL for decades.
ReplyDeleteSince when does a Mag get a portrait ? Is there one for Palermo, Garber, or Linnae?
ReplyDeleteMagistrate Snow was always fair and accurate in her Report and Recommendations in habeas corpus proceedings that I handled as a prison law clerk. This may seem ordinary, but it proves to be extraordinary when one sees the intellectual dishonesty and blatant misrepresentations that other Southern District Magistrates make in their R&Rs.
ReplyDeleteAs a prison law clerk I've litigated on behalf of others before U.S. Magistrate Judges in all three Florida Districts, particularly Sorrentino and White, and Magistrate Snow's Report & Recommendation (R&R) were always the most comprehensive never omitting supporting and sometimes dispositive facts. Throughout the years I've found that proceeding pro se is the kiss of death regardless of the merits of the case, but having your case assigned to Magistrate Snow was always an exception.
