Cover-Up Continues in Surrogate's Court Chief Clerk Firing

Chief clerk of Surrogate’s Court fired
The Buffalo News by Thomas J. Prohaska - August 24, 2010

LOCKPORT, NY — The chief clerk of Niagara County Surrogate’s Court was fired last week, but the reason remains a mystery. Ronald A. Sutton, a Town of Lockport attorney, was ousted from the post he had held for 14 years. The Buffalo News learned that court officers escorted Sutton out of the County Courthouse at the close of business Thursday. County Judge Sara Sheldon Sperrazza, who was on vacation last week, said Monday the decision was made at the Eighth Judicial District office in Buffalo. A call to the office of Eighth Judicial District Administrative Judge Paula L. Feroleto was returned by David Bookstaver, spokesman for the state Office of Court Administration. Bookstaver would say only that Sutton “no longer works for the court system.” “We don’t discuss employment matters publicly,” he said. Sutton, 48, had been chief clerk of Surrogate’s Court, which handles estates and wills, for 14 years. Such posts are called “at-will” positions, meaning their occupants can be fired at will. Deputy Clerk Michael C. Veruto is in charge for now. Veruto said he was not in the building when Sutton was escorted out and had no information on the matter. Sutton could not be reached to comment.

  1. They will attempt to keep the lid on this until after the election. Nothing matters except Cuomo being elected governor. Justice can wait.

  2. Lippman must have called Sperrazza and told her to take a vacation and quick, just a shame it isn't permanent, yet!

  3. Which side is she on?

    I would guess it would be the corrupt after being there all those years and seeing the things that she did, but why would they terminate her like that?

    Did she get too greedy?

  13. From first hand experience I can tell you that the surrogate courts in both Manhattan and Westchester are dirty. I don't know who's worst Roth or Scarpino? Scarpino is more of a snake! The staff are all a bunch of dirt bags! I filled out a survey card telling them this and sent it to the courts with my name and never heard from them! I told my lawyer what I did and he went nuts! Screw him all he wanted was my money!

  14. Enough already about Surrogate's Court.

    This Court has a very long history in New York State, going all the way back to Boss Tweed.

    Obviously, this Court was best and most successful creation of the Tweed era. Judge's and attorney's have no reason to want to change a thing and dead people don't vote.

  15. If dead people can be given insurance by the State, then dead people can vote! Just send someone else in, a yellow card gets you in!
    Somebody gave court information to Racketeer two cases at a time to violate a persons rights, I would assume this guy knows something about it!

  16. So if an evil person knows how to steal from almost dead people/dead people and do do it...then there is no recourse for the evil, the courts will allow it to happen and make it cost anyone who says a word against evil!
    maybe that is why Sutton was removed, so evil does not always win or propagate within!
