This judge a racist and does look at the facts in a case. He believes he is God but he’s really the devil. Georgia is in trouble because this judge is dangerous and a poor excuse of an honorable human being in our community. If you’re black, pray you do not get this man as your judge. If you do, just know you will lose your case because he doesn’t care about any plaintiff in a case. He is not for the people and it sucks because we are stuck with him for a long time. He will be responsible for sending many innocent black people to prison.

Lazy, Lazy, Lazy, and unable to grasp anything complex, or if he grasp, he knows how he wants to rule regardless of the law and the facts, and will do so, just a pathetic excuse for a Judge.

I feel this is a very dishonest Judge, who also exhibits extreme biases against Plaintiffs. I had a civil suit in his Court for injuries I suffered when a GA semi truck rear-ended me on the interstate. The semi failed to slow down, had many safety violations, had tags that were expired over 2 years prior, and had a driver who was driving under DL suspension.

The truck Co owner also shared Judge Brown’s surname… Brown. At trial Judge Brown would not let us use any of the semi drivers recent driving convictions, which included DUI, and at least 4 separate driving under suspension convictions! We also were not allowed to present our evidence he was driving under suspension on the day of this crash too, or that the truck was driving on tags that were also expired over 2 years prior, or that he was cited for bald tires also! We were forbidden to use any of the parties prior or subsequent driving histories.. Even though this was a vehicle/driving wreck.

We also had a GA patrol testify at trial (out side of the jury) that this semi was the worst semi he ever inspected, and had many brake out of service violations, but the Judge held this testimony from the jury as well.

We also had asked for sanctions against the trucking co for Falsifying official annual inspection docs.(They had dated them 3 yrs prior to before the forms were even copyrighted …to hide the faulty brakes) Judge Brown denied sanctions or to take any actions at all when presented the 6 pages of clearly falsified docs. This was clear fraud on the Court.. Any reasonable Judge would not allow this to go unpunished. Furthermore, The defendants committed perjury many times at trial, and the Judge failed to send a perjury referral as I later requested, and after I present lots of documents that showed the clear perjuries by the 2 defendants.

There were tons of other examples of extreme biases made by this Judge at trial that I have not the room to include here, but can be read on the Court docket.. Case : Mitchell vs. Dixie transport, Grange insurance. I have also submitted an 80 page Judicial complaint against this Judge as well, that I may share with the public in the future.

My civil case in Judge Browns court was a true travesty of justice. Judge was very biased against this injured plaintiff at trial.Judge took no action against defendants who clearly falsified documents(Fraud on the Court) and
they had committed perjury numerous times. I reported these and attorney misconduct issues to the Judge in my post trial pleadings. My former attorney had lied at least 4 times, falsely stating he had talked to jurors after trial and that they supposedly told him
many negative things about this plaintiff. The attorney finally admitted to the Court this was false(only after evidence surfaced that proved he had lied). Instead of reporting this misconduct and many other examples of misconduct I presented, and as outlined in Canon and ABA codes, Judge Brown writes an order/opinion that praises the attorney many times, as "Doing nothing wrong what so ever", and "nothing even close to doing anything wrong" and vilifies this plaintiff whistle blower instead. Judge also refused to let a neutral party contact the jurors about other false statements, to see if there may of been collusion between opposing parties. After everything I witnessed, and later the Judge saying many times "I can't remember" when misconduct examples were presented, it is my opinion this is a very dishonest and very biased Judge. It is just stunning that we have this stuff going on in US Federal Courts!

I filed motions about professional misconduct along with physical evidence and this Judge refused to send the complaint and all the evidence to the chief judge as outlined in ABA rules, and also denied any sanctions. Further more He vilified me the whistle blower in his order. The Judge now seems to be aiding and abetting in the misconduct of the lawyers, and covering up for them. The Judge has made false statements to date as well. He was very biased against me through out the injury trial. I intend to file a formal Judaical misconduct complaint against Judge Brown. Others can read the overwhelming evidence presented,on pacer.com, Mitchell vs Dixie transport, GA Northern District. There was tons of misconduct through out this case. It is enough to make citizens lose all trust in our Federal Court system.

This man is a raging racist. It is 2018 and I cannot believe that we are still having to deal with good old boys who think that minorities should not have rights. He open calls black lawyers "thugs" Black LAWYERS! not just criminal defendants are thugs according to him.
