Judge Jonathan Medema of Boise, ID; incompetent boob  

 

The state of Idaho presented Jonathan Medema with a law license in 1997 after he graduated from Seattle University School of Law.

 

In one matter, Judge Medema presided over a case involving the City of Eagle v. Two Rivers Subdivision Homeowners Association (TR) involving a dispute over the public’s right to use a parking lot on land owned by the homeowner’s association.

 

Years earlier, the City of Eagle accepted an offer from the developer of the Two Rivers Subdivision to dedicate an easement for public parking on Lot 35. The City of Eagle argued that the offer was accepted a few months later when the City approved Two River’s design review application showing the specific location and design of the parking lot.

 

Subsequently, in a display of his infinite ignorance and incompetence, Judge Medema granted summary judgment in favor of Two Rivers Subdivision Homeowners Association. Shortly thereafter, the City of Eagle appealed Medema’s asinine ruling to the Idaho Supreme Court, which reversed the ruling and in doing so made the following statements.

  • “When the City approved the design review application on May 13, 2003, its acceptance of T.R.’s offer of dedication was complete.”
  • “Contrary to the district court’s conclusion, we hold that the testimony of T.R.’s representatives shows that this was a present offer—not an expression of intent to make an offer in the future.”
  • “T.R. clearly and unequivocally indicated its intent to dedicate an easement for public parking on Lot 35 as an inducement for approval of making the two streets private and gated.”
  • Based on the undisputed facts, we hold that an offer to dedicate was made and accepted, thereby creating a valid common law dedication of an easement for public parking on Lot 35.
  • “In light of the foregoing, we vacate the district court’s judgment and reverse the district court’s decision to award summary judgment to the Association on the City’s common law dedication claim. Additionally, we remand with instructions to enter judgment in favor of the City and to consider whether the City is entitled to any injunctive relief.”

It goes without saying that Johnny doesn’t much give a damn when he’s overturned (rebuked in truth) by the appellate court since he is well aware that no Idaho  judge has ever been tossed off the bench for being an incompetent boob. In addition, he isn’t concerned with the cost to the taxpayers of having his asinine ruling overturned.

 

As we speak (ca. August 2020), Johnny continues to sit as District Court Judge in Boise, Idaho.
