Pompous and rash.

Pompous and rash. Puts his thumb on the scales of justice to favor the prosecution during trial more than any Judge I've encountered. Any defense attorney should file a 170.6.

Without his cushy government job, this horrible judge would not be able to survive.

Without his cushy government job, this horrible judge would not be able to survive. How many innocent residents has he harmed! He feels elated when pontificating unaware that no sane person or lawyer cares for his rhetoric. He is so ignorant and harmful.

I know he is a judge in name only because all the evidence that BLACKROCK'S falsified documents and their perjured testimony were filed as fact and our documents were not accepted because they are honorable corporation and their great attorneys wont lie, that is why our testimony and evidence is not worthy of the court time because the plaintiff has no scruple..in this case # s-cv-0048996 he was the judge the jury and would not listen to 78 year old woman that has third grade education and believed the system would be on the side of her. by the way plaintiffs attorney forged falsified all the interrogatory answers and handed to BLACKROCK'S attorneys which the judge knew interrogatory were forged because she send the proof of the forgeries to the judge and blackrocks attorneys.anyone can help or need our help contact me.

I continue to get emails from people who have been horrifically harmed by Judge Jones. He giggles and gets off on all the harm he does, knowing that abusing his power shows how truly powerful he is. Wicked, wicked person. Please vote him out of office.

Both J Jones & PJ must get the reality: written discov is not required2 be served all on same day: public policy of In Pro Per service is getting served U were served AND big time news: Consumers pay electronically bank cards either thru bank monthly bill pay &/or retail levels like public storage units, car rentals, hotels, AND landlords yes retailers abuse use of cards 4 profit resulting in over charges defenses 2 UD 3DN claims! Temp Retired Judge did not get that fact w/ CALPERS stocks in WHR who is not legal Corp in Calif we find out during pendency of case aka an illegal enterprise... L/T cases dont conceal payee as was done on our case w/ Ts emails stating get Real Party in now we know why not appearing.... misapplic of the law doesnt work what did you get Jones/PJ? What? Seen abuses of In Pro Pers & misapplic of the law 2 but here its poison on the court Ur not SCOTUS to make up laws saw U do it during proceedings against In Pro Per not an Appeal Crt or related... stunning demo of the courts integrity -- used 2 be 80/20 now its what reversed w/ lower rates of applying the law, black letter law -- really dont know contract formation well voters, consumer tax payers do know like proper discovery... didn't rule on MTV, MSJ or MJP why not? Well told CALPERS to pull stock out of WHR not a CA corporation since 2006-- havent paid CA taxes apparently since going public how bout that!

`BTW the clerk of Judge Jones should explain the policy purpose of the statute that prohibits parties acting In Pro Per from serving their own papers: that being abuse of service sure but when opposing counsel & court has service that issue is solved thus waived. And, when service is made electronically by Sr Para's such as at Hanson Boyd, service cc's R sent to all counsel on the case by emails thus email author is only party to authenticate email service too. Again withdrawal of disqual gone filed served on Dept 3, 33 so automatically served in2 dept no response required gaming on service is abuse of discretion but lets see how this goes shall we?

Maybe Judge Jones should read these voter comments FYI aka job reviews.. Capable of proper application of the law thus can see bias esp in civ lit law/mtn. So shall I mention former profesh in legal mal firms defense even -- he was not recognized specialist in ethics of attys/legal mal so there is that too. State of Calif CALPERS has shares literally in the plaintiff case before him.. OMG.. hows the CA Bar Assoc reputation doing these days huh facts aka to voters. Be careful never know how much the other guy knows esp to women in law even as In Pro Per... involved b4 METOO etc.

It is astounding how many Judges abuse the process as though the court is their private law firm when they are in the job bc of voters & can be recalled w/o cause. This Judge moves elements around as a magician except his hand is shown bc not novel scheme instead he can review Paralegal classes rules of evid, civ pro, torts, contracts, same law books as law students I did both of course including got the cut/paste search replace key first as word processor moving words/phrases around as though that is legal reasoning applied analysis. The Plnts bar started this sham legal reasoning w/ roll out of personal computers -- so they just make up findings that fail in law and fact. Not news CA superior Courts do not regulate attys neither does the bar why voters have remedy to recall the judges and have.

If Judge Jones reads these, bc he should since voters keep him in his job.

If Judge Jones reads these, bc he should since voters keep him in his job. Voters can set up a public blog, redact Judges names & show the improperly written orders that are essays not applying the rule of law. He can read SB42 too. Voters can recall Judges so heads up work for the people: courts are not private law firms despite improper conduct by SCOTUS. Try regulating the attorneys like Fed Crt does, Rule 11.

Whether it is Judge Jones, PJ, Out of Co Judge, Appellate Div, Comm. Jacques, all of the orders legal writing is F- do not apply the law2 facts but legal conclusions commentary & feelings n/a. Voters, attorneys & legal scholars can be critics of substandard Judging & writing resulting in bias & injustice. Its breathtaking two faced reasoning been waiting 4 other shoe 2 drop bc saw missapp of rules of evid pattern on a demurrer & boom back again w/ knowledge the case on its face is w/o SMJ. Stunning arrogance by the Placer Co Bench a civ lit case but can't even imagine what they R doing on crim cases! OMG. Wrote PJ directly 2 comply w/ 1 Sup Crt Rule, he did not made up rule sent that 2 Assist PJ: an institutional investment by crt learning crt has financial interest in outcome too! Appellate Div misapplied law several times 2 pals of the bench on an utterly meritless case OPC refuses 2 dismiss bc egg on her face not even in field of law for the action either wrote fictional complaint by cut and paste: arrogant.

One of the best.

One of the best. A Renaissance Man. He had a distinguished career as prosecutor, criminal defense lawyer, civil litigation lawyer. He is one of the most knowledgeable judges that I have encountered in my career as a prosecutor and criminal defense lawyer. He is always prepared and will make a thorough record. He is fair and no nonsense. He expects civility in the courtroom and he will call you out on it if you are not civil. He is very involved in various legal organizations and has been honored.

Defense friendly, condescending judge who has control of the AV system that will work just fine until you need it.
