Eleanor Blakley-Whaley

Suffolk County District Attorney Raymond A. Tierney announced on July 9 that Eleanor Blakley-Whaley, 61, of Sound Beach, was sentenced to one year in jail after pleading guilty in April to Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Third Degree, for filing a forged judicial order purportedly issued by the Suffolk County District Court with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office.

“Let this sentence serve as a warning to anyone who would falsify court records that my office takes these crimes seriously,” said District Attorney Tierney. “I thank my prosecutors for bringing this defendant to justice.”

According to court documents and the defendant’s admissions during her guilty plea allocution, on June 29, 2022, Blakley-Whaley consented to the issuance of a Warrant of Eviction from her home located in the Town of Brookhaven by the Suffolk County District Court. The Warrant of Eviction was stayed by the court until October 31, 2022. Between November 1, 2022, and March 30, 2023, Blakley-Whaley filed six forged judicial orders stating that the eviction was stayed, and falsely purporting to have been issued by the Suffolk County District Court. Blakley-Whaley filed the forged orders with the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office in order to delay her eviction.

Prior to this case, on January 26, 2022, Blakley-Whaley pleaded guilty on an unrelated case, to Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a Class C felony, and was sentenced to three years of probation. At the time of her arrest on the latest charges, Blakley-Whaley was serving her sentence of probation and thus, this arrest and criminal conduct violated the terms of her probation sentence.

On July 8, 2024, Acting County Court Judge James McDonaugh sentenced Blakley-Whaley to one year in jail. She was represented by Eric Sackstein, Esq.

This case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Amanda Scheier of the Public Corruption Bureau.
