    I maintain an open door policy regarding any issues that need addressed.

    Not once
    have I had a call from either judge asking for such a meeting; instead today, the
    Clerk of Courts office received an Administrative Order from President Judge
    Fredrick Ammerman regarding new guidelines for timelines for filing, docketing
    and scanning documents.

    The judge is unaware of the extensive filings and does not realize that one clerk
    may spend an entire day doing only Bench Warrants, as so happened just recently.
    These are not simple data entry only jobs. Each clerk must make the same three
    step process. 1. Stamp (file) and certify the copies. 2. Computer enter the data
    into the database. 3. Scan the document and upload to the imaging processor.
    These are time consuming procedures that effect the final product of production.

    The Clerk of Courts Office is being managed efficiently, and regardless of these
    claims, is operating at or above levels ever before achieved in Clearfield County.
    I invite any member of the media or public to stop and investigate for themselves.
    I believe that within short order, the truth will be apparent.

    These guidelines that have now been ordered fall outside the parameters that this
    office has ever been managed under. In spite of these new stringent timelines, the
    Judge has stated that failure to comply shall result in Contempt Proceedings and
    Hearings before the Court. As a result my staff now feels threatened for fear they
    may be put in jail should we be unable to meet the deadlines.

    We have asked The Clearfield County Jail Warden to supply factual data regarding
    alleged late filings that we could use to identify and resolve any supposed issues.
    As of this date, not one instance of a name or case number of any alleged problems
    has been provided.

    I believe it is also quite apparent that the continued refusal of the Judge to meet
    with me as I have requested in writing on several occasions, along with the
    repeated dissemination of correspondence to the media reveals that the only
    purpose in these actions is to publicly smear my name and attempt to influence an
    election.
