| Fulton County's Project ORCA recently recruited two Cobb County Judges allegedly to assist in managing the Fulton County Superior Court backlog of cases. The timing of the recruitment and the resulting rulings leaves little to conjecture. Senior Judges are being used as mere cover fire for the improprieties of elected judges, but at what cost? | | Fulton County's Project ORCA recently recruited two Cobb County Judges, the Honorable G.

| | | So why would Cobb County judges be complicit with Fulton County's agenda? The start and end of the analysis lies with their incentives. In other words, follow the money. |

| In 2022, a mandamus petition was filed in Cobb County Superior Court naming Judge Grubbs as the defending party against two plaintiffs, Troy and Tatyana Ellis.<ref>[https://thewikilaw.org/wiki/index.php?title=Cobb_County_-_Judicial_Misconduct#Ellis_v._Grubbs_-_Cobb_County_Superior_Court.2C_Case_No._21-1-06837 ''Tatyana Ellis v. Adele Grubbs'', Cobb County Superior Court, Case No. 21106837]</ref> The plaintiffs sought legal consultation from attorney McMaster regarding the case. Though McMaster never entered the record as an attorney, Judge Grubbs was put on notice of McMaster's role in the matter when it was disclosed through discovery to Grubbs' attorney.<ref>[https://thewikilaw.org/wiki/images/0/0d/McMaster_AG_Rule_25_Affidavit.pdf McMaster Rule 25.2 Affidavit]</ref> Additionally, McMaster had been critical of Judge Robert E. Flournoy III in recent times for a number of reasons, one being Judge Flournoy's potential status as a disqualified senior judge based on a blemish with his application sent to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in October of 2022.<ref>[https://thewikilaw.org/wiki/images/1/1c/Flournoy_Open_Records.pdf Office of Brian Kemp, Open Records Request, In re Robert E. Flournoy III]</ref> That issue has not been publicly addressed by the Governor; and based on what we now know about Judge Grubbs' status as a senior judge, she too may also be unqualified for the same procedural snafu.

| To add fuel to this fire, it was also reported that both Judge Flournoy and Judge Grubbs were seen out to lunch at Thaicoon & Sushi Bar at Marietta Square on April 18, 2023—the very same day that Judge Grubbs entered her questionable order appointing [https://zimmermanatlantalaw.com/our-team/barry/ Barry L. Zimmerman] as special master in the Fulton case, which was also the same day that Judge Schuster made his comment regarding Judge Grubbs and McMaster.<ref>[https://thewikilaw.org/wiki/images/f/ff/Affidavit_RM.pdf Affidavit of Rebecca McLaws]</ref>

| Judge Adele Grubbs and attorney Matt McMaster had not faced each other in any kind of trial or motion hearing in Judge Grubbs' history on the bench, despite both living amongst the same legal community and sharing the same home court. This was the first time and, given the reputation of both, one might have expected fireworks at the confrontation. There were none.

| ==A Truly "Special" Master==
| |
| So what makes the appointment of Barry L. Zimmerman as special master so questionable? A reasonable Google search reveals more than is palatable.
