Percy Anderson

this Judge ROCKS

This guy should not be a judge. He is intolerant and does not follow (or probably understand the law). His temperament is horrible and he thinks he is a king rather than, as his role should be, public servant. He is a disgrace.

He sentenced five years for probation violation Did not have no leniency, despite the tremendous efforts of two attorneys, and multiple written letters of character for the defendant, as well as his own, he has no leniency, he has no sympathy towards people who are trying to better themselves, and become a better person to society, in other words he truly has no heart, I think if he has a choice to do the correct right thing and even meet in the middle he will pick the worst . Most judges would atleast consider … this one went to the max, he has no heart or soul or sympathy towards others . Unfortunately if ur case lands in his hands hopefully multiple prayers and god can help you because he’s truly evil .

lazy judge who granted a meritless MSJ in order not to have a TRIAL

Judge Anderson failed to allow any defense at all into the courtroom for a man charged with a Federal crime. The two defenses were duress and mental health issues. The reason he gave for disallowing a mental health defense was later overturned at the appeals court; the conviction was overturned and the sentence vacated. A new trial was ordered. This decision was appealed by the government, but the original conviction and sentence was again vacated by the en banc court. The mandate (that the conviction was overturned and the sentence vacated) was ordered on December 5, 2020, but this information was never communicated to the Federal prison where the man was incarcerated and from which he should have been released or transferred. The man took his life (or was killed - yet to be litigated in civil court) on December 19, 2020. During the trial and sentencing, Judge Anderson was rude, dismissive, condescending, and unprofessional in his treatment of the defense attorney. Additionally, the victim in the case made 12-minute audio recording in support of the accused, to be used in sentencing. Anderson never even listened to the recording, by his own admission during the sentencing hearing. The victim pleaded with the judge not to give the accused any additional time, saying "He is as much a victim as I am." The victim told the story of the duress the accused was under to commit the crime against him, and even named the three inmates who threatened the accused to assault him, even though the two were friends. Yet, Anderson felt the need to give the accused the maximum allowable by law. All of this we know first hand. We were there in the courtroom at every turn. The accused was our son. I urge the people of California to recall this judge. He is unfit to serve.

Deserves his ranking as one of the worst federal judges in the country. Easily *the* worst I've ever interacted with in over 30 years as an attorney -- federal, state, municipal, small claims, traffic court, anywhere. As another commenter puts it, he is "spectacularly" ignorant. He is also spectacularly arrogant, rude and intemperate. He is not interested in fairness or justice in any sense. Ignored the facts, ignored the law, ignored all rules of procedure and evidence . . . every motion, every conference, and every other interaction of any kind. No exceptions. Just a train wreck of jurisprudence. The Ignatius J. Reilly of the bench (except rude and meanspirited).

No nonsense judge. Could have been a little more civil to the attorneys but the instances Anderson yelled the attorneys they deserved it. He took the time to thank jurors and answered questions after the verdict.
