Megan Johnson, born in October 1972, is 72 1/2years old. How is she still serving on the bench? I strongly believe there was foul play with a last minute switch from one judge to Megan Johnson with 2-3 days before my trial. Judge Johnson arrived 28 minutes late to court. Trials began at 8:45, she entered the room at 9:13 and court staff had to call down and ask for her and find out what was going on. Ms. Johnson displays an incredible amount of unbridled bias but apparently not much intellect about the law and/or her duties as judge. She made menacing glares at both myself and my witness, even when we were seated in the gallery waiting for preliminaries to go first. She never allowed me to present my bevy of evidence, rather she had me sticker it and the bailiff hastily took it minutes before ruling in favor of defense counsel with no reason why. She also stated, “There appears one some angst between plaintiff and defense” in her ruling despite no evidence, verbal or nonverbal, in the case record shown by me toward the defense or defense counsel. She never asked defense counsel to explain his objections. It was like a contest to see who could say “objection” the most with no decision(s) made by her. Johnson was apparently dazed and confused the entirety of the brief trial, ratcheting her head left and right numerous times. She spoke very little, procedurally or otherwise. Once, she sustained my objection but defense counsel continued to badger my witness with the same questioning that she already answered so she does not enforce any decisions she makes during trial!! She afforded my case approximately 26 minutes, despite only one other case in the room to be litigated after I left. I requested 2 hours of time in writing in response to district court’s request of how much time I sought. Defense
