THE ROBING ROOM

I was pro se defendant/counterclaim plaintiff. He was very patient, and courteously explained what was expected of me. He actually gave my submissions the liberal interpretation that is mandated, which is truly rare in this pro-se-hostile district. He treated me with dignity and respect. His rulings were well reasoned, and even if I lost, I understood why and had no reason to feel he had been unfair. He conducted settlement conference with good humor and firm hand. His administration of my case was fair and prompt. He gave me renewed confidence in the judicial system, which was promptly destroyed by another judge in this district when I filed a subsequent complaint.
