Circuit Court
6 reviews
One of the dumbest and laziest judges in the country, who only got the job due to her daddy, also a judge in this court. Once urged parties to refrain from filing quiet title cases in the district court when she was there as she was too brainless to handle them.
Agree with the other commentators she is NOT SMART. (That is being polite). Big time chain smoker with the gravely voice to go with it. Nasty.
I found her to be very fair and balanced. She was prompt and courteous.
Doesn't manage her docket very well; slow to rule on motions (8+ months).
Extraordinarily gifted jurist and brilliant legal mind. Takes time to give every case a full, thorough, erudite review. Extremely bright. A model for other judges.
very slow on ruling on motions and very lazy - hates certain kinds of cases that she deems should not be in federal court, such as in-rem property matters. Guess she forgot to read the case law about the court having the obligation to adjudicate matters properly before it. Also rather fuzzy on the standards for Erie v. Tompkins. Not very bright.
