Brian L. McCabe

This judge demonstrates a distinctly variable temperament, at times professional and composed, but too often impatient, dismissive, and overtly hostile toward counsel. He appears to take offense when attorneys attempt to clarify the law or factual record, sometimes responding with unnecessary aggression or condescension. Although he asserts that he reviews all filings, his comments frequently indicate gaps in understanding key facts.

He considers California case judgments over Federal case judgments. "It's his duty". He seems not to understand basic legal theories. He is egotistical and tries to protect his position on the bench.
