Litigant

Comments:
I went before this judge in a civil matter and she would ask me a question and as soon as I started to talk, cut me off. In the end, I tried to explain my position and she actually turned to a bailiff and said, "take him out of here". Really? I brought friends with me and they couldn't believe it. In the end, I withdrew my case because I couldn't be bothered. I guess that was what the judge wanted.

My limited experience with this judge is that she lacks integrity, relies on extrajudicial information she should not, and does nothing to curtail improprieties, or the appearance of impropriety w/in CCCCP. Seems to be more political than judicious.
