Daily Docket News highlights another Pudlowski case and more

The mercurial emailed newsletter is back.

The lovely, talented and corrupt Elaine Pudlowski

After taking a few weeks off, the mysterious and mercurial emailed newsletter known as the Daily Docket News (DDN) is back this morning.

It continues to highlight corruption involving what it refers to as the Missouri Court Mafia (MCM).

The emailed newsletter was the first to expose Elaine Pudlowski, the now notorious St. Louis area guardian ad litem and attorney.

An appeals court recently dismissed a lawsuit related to the Arseneau case.

In this case, Arseneau accused Pudlowski of misrepresenting to the St. Louis County Circuit Court the contents of a St. Charles County Circuit Court judgment granting an order of protection for her son whom her ex-husband’s son was allegedly molesting.

But Judge Sarah E. Pitlyk in her Sept. 29 opinion ruled that, “Presenting evidence and taking testimony in the course of a child custody proceeding are part and parcel of a guardian’s responsibilities under the Missouri Supreme Court Standards and the court order appointing Pudlowski.”

Pitlyk further explains in her 10-page ruling that Arseneau’s claims are barred because of quasi-judicial immunity, which affords individuals with judicial process duties complete immunity from civil rights suits.

While Ms. Pudlowski has racked up victories in court, getting most of the lawsuits against her- and there are many- dismissed, arguing that she is much a like a judge and can’t be sued no matter how bad her misconduct is, she is not able to stop the constant glare of media attention.
