Prof wants new judge in 7-year-old lawsuits
By Lori Poison Staff writer
The attorneys for a KU associate professor of English filed two petitions to remove a U.S. District Court judge from two cases against the University of Kansas.
Myra Hinnan, the professor, has asked that the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals remove District Court Judge Richard D. Rogers from hearing the cases.
Fred Phelps Jr., a member of the Topeka law firm that represents Hinman, said yesterday that Hinman was convinced that he thought he was based in her cases.
Hinman wants Rogers removed from the cases because he refused to act on them promptly. Phelps said.
In 1979, Hinman filed a sexual discrimination suit against the University. The same year, she filed a suit against Lawrence attorney Oln Petefish and the Kansas University Endowment Association
In the second suit, Hinman alleges that Petefish agreed to represent her interests in the matter of her late husband's estate, but instead tried to
donate the estate to the Endowment Association
Both Rogers and Hinman were unavailable for comment yesterday.
Margie Phelps, also a member of the law firm, said Hinman's petitions asked the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to review Roger's actions in both cases.
"We are trying to get a higher court to make the judge act," she said. "He (Rogers) has let the case sit for seven years."
Phelps said she expected the circuit court to make a statement about the petition within the next month.
The law firm has filed 17 petitions against Rogers, asking that he be removed from cases involving their clients. Phelps said the other 15 petitions were not connected to the Hinman cases in any way.
Last fall, Hinman objected to the appointment of Deanell Tacha as U.S. Circuit Court judge for the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Tacha was then the KU vice chancellor for academic affairs.
