THE ROBING ROOM

I am law firm staff. This judge's clerk, Victor Cruz, is simply ridiculous. I have worked in law for over 27 years, and have NEVER encountered such a power-hungry monger as this guy. He thrives on telling you that you are not in compliance. He is snide, nasty, and possibly the rudest person I have ever had the displeasure to speak with. He thinks that his rules and regulations (although he says they are not his but Judge Otero's), are simply gospel. He has rules in different places, that do not match up, and so you have no idea what to do with anything. When you ask for specifics or guidance, he flatly refuses - and snippily says - 'Good Luck.' He has threatened to strike pleadings, force an in person appearance, and to dismiss a case due to his alleged 'non-compliance' with some mystery rule, but won't tell you what it is, and then says, read the rules. I am shocked and horrified that a member of the U.S. Government, paid by the taxpayers, can act this way, and get away with it. This guy should be very sternly reminded he is PUBLIC SERVANT, and needs to learn some simple courtesy and respect for the human race. I cannot express enough how absolutely ridiculous this guy is. Judge Ortero should be ashamed to have him representing him and his office. Congress should be ashamed to have appointed this judge, who hired this clerk. It is way past time that this court get in the 21st century and knock of the condescending ridiculous, holier than though attitude.
