I love how Mr. Vazquez has the cohones to actually use a “see e.g.” citation following a claim that something is well-settled. If it’s so well-settled, Mr. Vazquez, why couldn’t you find a direct quote? Bam.

Okay, I’m done needling Mr. Vazquez and his limited intellectual capacity. For now.

I meant to refer to Mr. Vazquez as a “public figure”, not a “public failure.” Perhaps this was a Freudian slip on my part?

Regards.

I just wanted to say hello.

I am a lawyer practicing in Upstate NY. I’m also an occasional DU lurker, and I stumbled across your thread in the General Discussion section of the site.

I surfed around this site a bit and found a link to your blog post where you uploaded the PDF copies of your brief in the prior case, the assistant state attorney’s response, and your reply brief. I read all of them with interest. I commenced reading your initial brief yesterday, and I was stunned by how well written it was. Most pro se briefs contain error after error but yours was excellent.

I then read the reply brief of the assistant state attorney, Ignacio Vazquez, and his brief contained errors that I would have expected from a pro se applicant: terrible grammar, poor/incorrect cites, and a general trend of laziness and outright plagiarism in some cases.

Is this the caliber of state attorneys you have down there? I don’t have to worry about being sued by Ignacio, because he’s a public failure, first of all, so I’ll say my true thoughts on the matter.

1) How did this guy every graduate from law school?

2) After graduating from law school, how did he pass the bar exam? Is Florida’s exam that much easier to pass than New York’s? I didn’t think so.

3) How did he get his current job as an assistant state’s attorney? Maybe family connections? I’m just stunned by how terrible his reply brief really was. I actually passed it around to colleagues today and we all had a great laugh over it at Mr. Vasquez’s expense. It looks like a brief that was written by an aspiring law student, not a practicing attorney. I especially love his perplexing use of capital letters with regard to the coined phrase “WebPages.” This guy LOOOOVES the capital letters. I’m seriously enamored with him simply because he feels the need to capitalize phrases like “Trial Court” every chance he gets.

4) Do you think the fact that the reply brief from the state attorney’s office was so shoddily written contributed to the appellate court’s decision to reverse the conviction and remand it for a new trial with a new presiding judge?

I wish you the best of luck in your present case (because I read on the DU thread that you’re also dealing with a second case at the moment).

I was pleased to see my site was clean — this despite the fact we had a security certificate error between our primary and secondary server that got us blocked by many ISPs for almost a day Monday until our IT figured out where the discrepancy was and corrected it.

Carlos, according to my last pageview, you’re NUMBER ONE MAN CONGRATULATIONS!

ps – many of us at Phinsider are also stout fans of The U. (It IS all about The U!).

I was just saying, don’t dis another blog; (well any blog about the Jest (Jets) is quite okay to dis; you never know where your new readers will come from!

Just a heads up–your voting links on the upper right of your page still point to the sun-sentinel2 server(bad one). You should change the links to the newer ones.
