Truly dumb like a stump. Horrible temperament, no effort to either read papers or be up on the law. Straight Affirmative Action pick, a disgrace to the judiciary.

Bad attitude, pompous, doesn't follow basic law, can't tell if he doesn't understand the law or doesn't care about the law, rude tonlawyers and witnesses. Bad judge. If he's on your side, not much you need to do.

bad judge attitude doesn't want to understand anyone. He is quick to put people in jail and gives the highest sentence. He is one of the worse judges ever and because he is a federal judge he takes it up above and beyond his powers , this is the worse judge to come across.

Very fair and doesn't put up with bullsh*t. Opposing counsel tried to bring a frivolous motion and he told them sure, go ahead, and then I'll sanction you. Other judges would have let them just bring the motion and I would have had to spend time opposing it, all for nothing. Very no-nonsense.

This Judge is rude to counsel, unnecessarily loud, ignores the rules of evidence to 'find the truth' (a direct quote) and in my case decided a contractual claim based upon a contract in another case which was completely irrelevant and never introduced in to evidence. Unlike pleasant Judges like Block and Weinstein, this Judge has an attitude.
