An employee of the Mahoning County Probate Court has been placed on unpaid administrative leave pending an internal court investigation.Donald D. Gaudio Jr., 48, deputy clerk and guardianship investigator, was placed on leave and has turned in his court credentials, Judge Mark Belinky announced.
The investigation, which should be completed in about two weeks, is being headed by Richard Burgess, the court’s chief magistrate, Judge Belinky said. The probe appears to involve only Gaudio, Judge Belinky added.
The court has obtained information on Gaudio’s employment and must determine whether Gaudio “has engaged in any inappropriate behavior during his employment with this court,” Judge Belinky wrote without elaborating in a Monday judgment entry.
The judge said he made the probe public because of rumors circulating about it. Judge Belinky said it is “unfair and distracting to the other employees of the court to be the subject of innuendos and rumors.”
On his job application, Gaudio said he wasn’t related to any current elected or appointed county official, had a valid driver’s license, and had never been dismissed or asked to resign from employment.
Gaudio also said he had never been convicted of a felony involving dishonesty, false statements, violence or offenses of moral turpitude.

ReplyDeletePerhaps they're finally getting the idea that the public is watching and they'd better clean up their act!
ReplyDeleteAn honest judge??
ReplyDeleteWhat experience shows is that many involved within the legal system and with guardianship are guilty of the very things this employee is claiming to be innocent of. I sure hope there is a complete forensic accounting. It troubling that when citizens complain, often with documented evidence the authority turns a blind eye the looks the other way. I have this very issue with the state of Florida right now. They may as well say, we don't care about the elderly!!!
ReplyDeleteI think all guardianship board and probate court should close down permanently just as much as the gov. And the entire healthcare system all in the United States of America I hate USA it's a terrorist nation if I had the money and a place to live I would renounce my USA citizenship and permonetlly leave the USA for good
