Judge Jeffrey S. White ignored federal rules for restitution and ordered a restitution amount that the government entirely manufactured and provided no evidence to support the amount they requested. Judge White sent first time offenders to prison who other judges would have given probation. He didn’t take mental illness into consideration at all.

Comments:
Judge White issued a ruling that wholly ignored pertinent portions of the record. It was clear that he made up his mind on the case and wrote an opinion to fit that view. Poor quality opinion; poorly reasoned, sloppy and lazily written. Did not hold oral argument. Poor judge. I have no reason to think he's biased, but rather just doesn't take his job very seriously.

After his clerk told us to submit a request for oral argument on a motion, Judge White denied the same the same day he received it, canceled a status conference, and has now sat on the (relatively simple) motion for six months. He personifies the saying that justice delayed is justice denied.

Comments:
During a hearing on a motion to dismiss, which was supposed to be based on the pleadings, he asked defense counsel to submit evidence which was not subject to cross examination. On top of that, the evidence submitted was both vague and irrelevant, and he seemed to have no problem with that despite objections. He asked questions indicating that he clearly didn't understand the complex litigation, and his opinion misstated facts. Lawyers representing large corporations love this guy because he goes out of his way to make sure that they win.

Lazy, never has hearings, superficial reader of papers at best, reaches completely incorrect factual conclusions on a regular basis. No bias, but a terrible draw -- results will be random.

Even though he is not one of my preferred judges to be arguing in front of, and he can be very harsh on criminal defendants, I give him credit for his intellectually honest.

He is very active in narrowing down issues and takes the time to separate fact from fiction.
