| 133985 | Litigant | View Details | [Redacted by Ed.] He should not be a judge. I really can't believe how blatantly bias he is.

| 117035 | Civil Litigation - Private | View Details | I feel that you get a better feel for a Judge when you see them on another case besides your own. You have to be unbiased, like a judge.
