EXHIBIT "A"
SPECIAL MASTER COMPLAINT PROCESS
1. Code of Conduct for Special Master
Judicial Duties in General
The judicial duties of a Special Master take precedence over all the Special
Master's other activities. The Special Master's judicial duties include all the
duties of the Special Master's office prescribed by law. In the performance of
these duties, the following standards apply.
Adiudicative Responsibilities
A Special Master shall hear and decide matters assigned to the Special Master.
A Special Master shall be faithful to the law and maintain professional
competenceinrt.
A Special Master shall not be swayed by partisan interests, public clamor or fear
of criticism.
A Special Master shall require order and decorum in proceedings before the
Special Master.
A Special Master shall be patient, dignified and courteous to litigants, property
owners, witnesses, lawyers and others with whom the Special Master deals in an
official capacity, and shall require similar conduct of lawyers and of staff, court
officials and others subject to the Special Master's direction and control.
Commentary
The duty to hear all proceedings fairly and with patience is not inconsistent with
the duty to dispose promptly of the business of the court. Special Masters can be
efficient and businesslike while being patient and deliberate. The Special Master
shall have the discretion to continue matters which cannot be disposed of within
the time allotted by the Clerk.
A Special Master must refrain from speech, gestures or other conduct that could
reasonably be perceived as sexual harassment and must require the same standard
of conduct of others subject to the Special Master's direction and control.
A Special Master shall perform judicial duties without bias or prejudice. A
Special Master shall not, in the performance of judicial duties, by words or
conduct manifest bias or prejudice, including but not limited to bias or prejudice
based upon race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation
or socioeconomic status.
-2-
A Special Master must perform judicial duties impartially and fairly. A Special
Master who manifests bias on any basis in a proceeding impairs the fitness of the
proceeding and brings the judiciary into disrepute. Facial expression and body
language, in addition to oral communication, can give to parties or lawyers in the
proceeding, the media and others an appearance of judicial bias. A Special
Master must be alert to avoid behavior that may be perceived as prejudicial.
A Special Master shall require lawyers in proceedings before the Special Master
to refrain from manifesting, by words or conduct, bias or prejudice based upon
race, sex religion, national origin, disability, age, sexual orientation or
socioeconomic status, against parties, witnesses, counselor others.
A Special Master shall accord to every person who has a legal interest in
proceedings, or that person's lawyers, the right to be heard according to law. A
Special Master shall not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications, or
consider other communications made to the Special Master outside the presence
of the parties concerning a pending or impending proceeding.
A Special Master may obtain the advice of a disinterested expert on the law
applicable to a proceeding before the Special Master if the Special Master gives
notice to the parties of the person consulted and the substance of the advice, and
affords the parties reasonable opportunity to respond.
A Special Master may consult with court personnel whose function is to aid the
Special Master in carrying out the Special Master's adjudicative responsibilities
or with other Special Masters.
2. Complaint Resolution Procedures
a. Upon receipt of a complaint, the complainant shall be advised that the complaint
shall be filed in writing.
b. Complaints shall be filed in writing and submitted to the Clerk of the Special
Master.
c. Upon receipt of the written complaint, within two (2) business days, the Clerk of
the Special Master shall forward the original to Chief Special Master and a copy
to the Special Master against whom the compliant was filed.
d. The Chief Special Master shall review the complaint.
e. Within ten (10) calendar days, the Special Master against whom the complaint
was filed, if so chooses, shall submit to the Chief Special Master a response to the
complaint.
-3-
f. The Chief Special Master shall review the response, the complaint and any all
other information available regarding the complaint.
g. Upon a thorough review of the all information regarding the complaint, the Chief
Special Master shall discuss the findings with the Special Master against whom
the complaint was filed.
h. Within 30 calendar days, upon receipt of the complaint, the Chief Special Master
shall submit a final report of its findings to the Mayor and City Commission, the
City Attorney, City Manager, the Complainant, and the Special Master.
1. Appropriate sanctions shall be taken, if necessary, against the Special Master.
3. Chief Special Master
Maintain the same language with the following provisions:
a. If the complaint is filed against the Chief Special Master, upon receipt of the
complaint by the Clerk of the Special Master, the complaint shall be
forwarded to the City Manager and the City Attorney.
b. Within seven (7) days of receipt of the complaint by the City Manager and/or
City Attorney, a Mediator shall be appointed by the City Manager and the
City Attorney and provided a copy of the complaint.
c. If the complaint is filed against the Chief Special Master, all references to the
Chief Special Master shall be substituted with a Mediator appointed by the
City Manager and City Attorney and the Special Master shall be substituted
with the Chief Special Master.

have had the opporlunily 10 pr~sent a c.L~e before Ms. Martin and fral1kly speaking it would not
be the lir~t lime Iblt sh~ rollcd her eycs as if I was not being honest with hl;r. T have seen her 011
other occasions talking ~l) the S<lnle people that pay her salary as [fthey were crimina is. This type
orbehavior by a spedal111a~tcr is totally unacceptable and should n01 be lolerali:d by anyone.
With the thought in mind that you arc a wry busy peTSi.ln, T do not want to bothcl' you any

Dear Judge Newman:
I do not specifically remember the case heard on December 11,
2003, involving the Complaint. Mr. Stern is making specific
allegations in his Complaint as to his treatment by me which can be
corroborated or disproved by reviewing the audio tape. I do not
have any personal grievance against Mr. Stern, in fact I do not
remember him or his case.
Thank you for your assistance and consideration herein.

Special Master Case J04F000102, Five Star Cleaners, 6540 Collins Avenue
Pursuant to Resolution No. 2003-25226, on June 11, 2003 the City Commission approved the
"Special Master Complaint Process."
On December 8, 2003 a complaint was received in the Special Master office from Mr. Babak Raheb,
owner of the business Five Star Cleaners, located at 6540 Collins Avenue, Miami Beach. The
complaint was against Special Master Eunice L. Martin regarding the conduct of Special Master
