Third loss for Griego, once again Judge McElfresh rules in favor of County in lawsuit filed by former court reporter

 




Last April, I reported that Kay Gibbs, former court reporter who worked for Humboldt Superior Court for 40 years is suing the County.

Del Norte Superior Judge Darren McElfresh was assigned to the case. Mr. Patrik Griego represents Gibbs. Mr. Griego told me he is doing this pro bono.

The County of Humboldt is County is represented by Liebert Cassidy Whitmore, a Fresno law firm.

Judge McElfresh's latest ruling filed 3/11/25 was served on the parties on 3/13/25 according to e court. This is the third loss for Mr. Griego.



Janssen Malloy is not going to be happy with this post. Nor is Mr. Patrik Griego. Or all the buddy buddy lawyers and court insiders. I am simply reporting on Judge McElfresh's ruling. 

I just noticed the last page of the ruling is missing. I will add it Monday. That missing page has one of the most crucial sentences and sums up Judge McElfresh's ruling.

I like Kay. Very hardworking and one of the nicest, most professional court reporters. I also know that in the court system; money matters. If you can afford a lawyer and the time to drag out the process; you have a better chance. Kay is fortunate that she has a local lawyer willing to do this pro bono. The court system is so broken and in a small, rural county, options for assistance or legal assistance are non-existent.
