Landlord Tenant Court Patchogue NYAttys own his court..Judge doesn't care if litigant owes nothing on their mortgage. Paid up to date. Signature is been proven a complete fraud. Started out being US BANK changed to new owner, that is a flipper, and Judge just takes US BANK off the lawsuit.Original person on the lawsuit just removed. No reason, they say bank sold the house. Judge Matthews was never votes in to the court system he was appointed oon all party lines. This is where all o9f Long Island is being taken today. DO NOT VOTE FOR SOMEONE WITH NO ONE AGAINST THEM...all party lines..Once these frauds get in it's almost impossible to get them removed by the courts. We the citizens can lose our homes and nothing we can do about it.. I WAS NEVER SERVED, owed no back mortgage payments AND the signature on my mortgage is a proven fraud. us constituation allows me a jury trial but not allowed to state and prove my case... nyers WAKE UP IT'S NOT JUST DONALD J TRUMP THAT THE COURTS SCR.... . hE HAS THE MONEY MIDDLE CLASS HAVE NOTHING...

`Upon my information and beliefs,
this judge was biased and prejudiced with an agenda before hearing the lawful facts.
He should not be presiding in a court of law. He dismissed lawful factual evidences while admitted nonfactual "say so". His judicial temperament was unfitting for a judge and tone unacceptable .I could not afford a lawyer- so beware. Too many times its who you know not what you know. a miscarriage for certain.

Appeared twice before Matthews:
First Town code matter, he was as fair as could be, went on a true fact finding mission.
Second, small claims matter, listened intently to all evidence and then made a sound decision based on the law.Great deal of respect for his fellow human being.

The worst judge I have every stood in front of. He is prejudice and had an agenda. He knew the defendants atty. He should be thrown off the bench. Has no business being a judge

Number one compliment I can give, he is not afraid to work which is refreshing. He also treats all litigants with respect and gives the parties room to work.
