Martha K Gooding

Terrible judge. Can't believe she was first in her class at UCB. Stubborn, vindictive, arrogant, unprepared, misrepresents facts, doesn't follow the law. Basically, just decides what she thinks is right and drafts an opinion to support it. She does not belong on the bench.

Too racist, white supramacist judge full of implicit bias against blacks. Zero rating

This Judge came from Federal practice and still has difficulty interpreting and applying Cal. Civil Code and Procedure. She wants to run her court like a federal district judge. She confused the arguments on my motion, and could not comprehend the layers of legal analysis required to get to the proper ruling. Instead she jumped to conclusions using selective portions of the law and misapplying it. She makes her decision how the matter should resolve and piece-meals the facts and law to reach what she believes is a logical conclusion. When politely corrected as to misstated law and the subsequent analysis, she blamed the research attorney's notes she was working from. It was questionable whether she even reviewed the actual motion, opposition and reply.
