He doesn't listen to anything anyone tells him. One man told him that he isnt the guy they keep telling him he is and he just told him, "well you're that guy today".

Judge Oglesby understands both the law and the intent of the law. He also is quite discerning. Here is a judge with no patience for endless petty motions that stall a case and line the attorneys' pockets, while creating a backlog of cases on the dockets.

On 7/15/14, in Bakersfield, Judge Oglesby ruled, and on 8/27/14 signed the Order After Hearing denying the enforcement of two previous "Minor in Counseling" court orders requesting psychological help to our 14 years old sun, siding with mother's multi-million dollar estate.

Problem with him is that he has a quick temper, but even worse, he makes up his mind too quickly and there is no changing it. Forget trying to argue with him or to point out to him why he is wrong, he will dig in and will even become rude to you. He moves cases along, but if it is a complicated issue or case, then you don't want him as a judge.

If you are assigned this Judge, state that you Object under CPP 170.6 and you will be assigned a new Judge. It will be the BEST move you will ever make in your court matter.

He does not waste court time on useless discussion. Requires and encourages settlement where it is possible. Highly intelligent logical decisions. Cuts to the point. Mathematically inclined. Forget trying to manipulate this judge.

Extremely biased. Refuses to read motions prior to taking the bench. Refused to provide legal basis for denials or states inapplicable reason.
Abrubt and curt refusing to answer any questions. Repeatedly states untrue facts in general.

He is a very fair judge - I have had family law cases and criminal cases in front of him and I have always found him to be fair.
