Arrogant. Needs to be the smartest person in the room.

Arrogant. Needs to be the smartest person in the room. Seems to enjoy talking down to experienced attorneys. We don't need this on the federal bench. An obvious Trump appointee.

Byzantine and overly technical rules of practice and procedure; innumerable meet and confer requirements delaying merits review; bizarre scheduling order with summary judgment deadline BEFORE close of FACT discovery (what Article III judge in his/her right mind does that?); virtually impossible to change pretrial schedule; his system is clearly and intentionally designed to frustrate litigants from achieving any merits analysis of motions and to coerce settlement rather than incur the attorneys fees necessary to comply with his ridiculously complex procedural requirements.

A Trump punk.

A Trump punk. Thinks he always is the smartest guy in the room. Clerked for former Ninth Circuit, right-wing Judge Cynthia Holcomb Hall, and learned from her. He is pro-government and anti-civil rights. As arrogant as can be; a disgrace to the bench.

Completely biased in favor of business and government, and really, really horrible.

Completely biased in favor of business and government, and really, really horrible. A Trump appointee who behaves like what would expect of a Trump judge.

Judge Blumenfeld is a welcome addition to the bench.

5.0
/ 5

Judge Blumenfeld is a welcome addition to the bench. He works very hard to reach the right result. He will issue a written tentative in civil matters the afternoon before the hearing, which will be comprehensive and well-reasoned. After reviewing the tentative, you'll be tempted to prepare only for those issues he focused on, but be prepared, because at oral argument, he will question you on other aspects of the case or claims of the parties. Calm, professional and polite in manner.
