The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has removed a Missouri federal judge from a $28 million contract case based on the judge’s use of profanity and his angry dismissal of the case over testy allegations of discovery abuse. Judge Dean Whipple of the Western District of Missouri at one point commented, “I kept telling you to produce stuff, expert stuff. You ducked. You wove … . You must produce them. Jesus Christ, I don’t want any more ducking and weaving from you on those 58 documents.”
