Naomi Reice Buchwald

This Judge is very pro alleged victim, is easily manipulated by victims and shows no respect for the defendant except attempted intimidating stares. She is way over the hill and should not be allowed to continue on the bench

"Poor temperament" or "a disrespectful and bullying manner" or "Miserable temperament" are some of the things that other people have written. These are all true. It is a sad day for the federal judiciary when lawyers privately refer to her as "F*ckwald" because she is so nasty and mean from the bench that they feel justified in disrespecting her name. The federal bench will be better when she final retires. She also doesn't read the briefs. This is well known. Her clerks read everything and then give her a summary. She does most decisions of instincts without having read anything or just does what her clerks recommended.

Judge Buchwald is a political hack of a judge. She grossly mishandled a case in which I represented grievously injured NYC employees. She made it clear throughout the case that her only concern was to prevent the City from incurring ruinous liability. If I had known better at the time, I would have filed a complaint against her for judicial misconduct.

I tried a criminal case before Judge Buchwald. I found her rulings to be better on trial than pretrial, but still not great. She did leave me alone on cross for the most part, as well as on opening and closing. However, she ruled I opened the door to my client's criminal conviction during his testimony, and I believe she was wrong. Luckily it didn't affect the verdict. Her jury charge was good.

Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald oversaw my case Kathy Knight-McConnell vs Mary Cummins. I reported McConnell to the SEC for securities fraud. In retaliation I was sued for defamation. I represented myself pro se. Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald was just and fair. I was worried she might be biased because I lived in California and not New York like the Plaintiff and Judge. I won the case.

Wall Street's Top Cop's harsh words about you were much to kind. I would have given you a minus one if that had been an option.

I certainly agree with the comments about the anti-plaintiff bias, unprofessional behavior and gross incompetence. She has no right to be on the bench.

I would like Judge Buchwald to take into consideration Alwar Pouryan's case. That man is innocent! Where is the justice? That man has served the U.S. government all his life, and and the only words we hear from that man are "God bless America." Is this how we treat our citizens? Reconsider his case!

Poor temperament. Dismisses legitimate, meticulously argued legal positions in a disrespectful and bullying manner. Her worst misbehavior (in terms of bullying and abuse of counsel), comes out in off-the-record telephone conferences. One of those judges who makes the practice of law absolutely miserable.

Miserable temperament, intellectually dim and lazy, and completely in the pocket of defendants. It's astounding to think this person was selected to become a federal judge.

After reading about and supporting the efforts of hundreds of thousands of organic farmers and their supporters try to put an end to the blatant and easily provable harassment and intimidation by Monsanto, with hundreds of cases that are very well documented, Judge Buchwald has decided to give Monsanto a pass and has committed a gross miscarraige of justice on the American people and has effectively guaranteed the continued degradation of the health and safety of the general public. [Redacted by Ed.] justice is officially dead in the United States.

I'm not a fan of this particular Judge, but the logic of the case and the lack of precedential influence of a ruling from the Percy Schmeizer case in Canada seems straightforward. We/You may have to wait until Monsanto actually sues (a) farmer(s) to get a day (or more) in court. Is this similar to asking for an order of protection against a bully who has not yet hit you. Please post the Percy Schmeizer case in Canada. Please refrain (IMHO) from ad feminam attacks against the Judge. It is impolite and makes the attacker look like a kook.

"U.S. District Court Judge Naomi Buchwald, for the Southern District of New York, threw out the case brought by the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA) and dozens of other plaintiff growers and organizations, criticizing the groups for a "transparent effort to create a controversy where none exists." The Public Patent Foundation (PUBPAT) filed the suit last March on behalf of more than 50 organizations challenging the agricultural giant's patents on its genetically modified seeds. The group wanted a ruling that would prohibit Monsanto from suing the farmers or dealers if their organic seed becomes contaminated with Monsanto's patented biotech seed germplasm. But Judge Buchwald said Monsanto had not sued or even started the process of suing anyone of the plaintiffs or anyone in "similar stead." And water is dry. The Percy Schmeizer case in Canada. Monsanto sued him for patent infringement because their GMO pollen polluted his land - & Monsanto won. " Apparently Ms. Buchwald is either ignorant, misinformed, or worse.

This is very disappointing. I am 79 years old and I continue to be astonished at what is happening in this country. Unfortunatly extremely unfit judges continue to serve. Just look at our so-called Supreme court. Venality, cupidity, dishonesty, stupidity rule the day. I mourn for the United States of America.

I have read the ruling of the Monsanto trial. It seems the plaintiff's attorneys should have been a little more thorough by possibly bringing some of the 144 farmers, or some of the over 700 known farmers that have been sued, or threatened by Monsanto into the list of plaintiffs. [Redacted]

Clearly, this Judge has [sided with] Monsanto by dismissing the case brought by the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA) and dozens of other plaintiff growers and organizations, criticizing the groups for a "transparent effort to create a controversy where none exists." Tell that to the 144 farmers who Monsanto has brought patent infringement cases against. "Monsanto has filed 144 patent infringement lawsuits against farmers between 1997 and April 2010, and won judgments against farmers they claimed made use of their seed without paying required royalties." [redacted by Ed.]

She is a utter and believes african american indigent plaintiffs should be shining her shoes and not filing lawsuits

Miserable disposition. Alerts defense attorneys during initial conferences of what she perceives to be flaws in a plaintiff's case.

Judge Buchwald is very prejudice, bias, discriminatory Judge she has no repect for PRO SE and she allowed the attorneys not to present any discovery information she had special relationship with attorney's and she is just so dishonest about the case. She has many conversations with the attorneys without my consent simply unbelievable. ALSo Judge Buchwald and her follwers could careless about anyone's health or safety.

Biased and closed minded. A threat to innovation and technological growth. A stereotypical model of the 19th century Luddite.
