Otis D. Wright, II

Should be removed ! Sexist !! Telling my friend to be quiet after asking her questions. Ruling against her when it was a clear case of an abusive ex spouse stealing half of a property they purchased together and he made 250k off of! Not even a FAIR JUDGEMENT for her to get her investment back. Shameful!!

Disappointing and embarassing to have judges like these in federal courts. He is the epitome of the long bygone kings who executed people on a whim. If you dare not to kneel before him and kiss the ground he is walking, your days will be counted. He does not treat attorneys especially women like human, has no sense of fundamental fairness, or compassion and is biased. He has no judicial restraint and his behavior in court is bizarre, compulsive and vindictive. His rulings are infused with improperly vicious commentary and are inconsistent based on his mood on a given day. His courtroom is a minefield and you are doomed if you step the wrong way. I cannot believe, that there is no judicial oversight over these kind of abusive arbitrary and capricious judiciary in one of the most democratic and liberal countries.

I won a Writ of Mandate in CA Superior Court against my employer. Otis Wright threw out my Federal case with no testimony and stated he didn't care what the CA Court had decided. I then heard stories about his baseball bat and he and his broke ass wife filing for bankruptcy when he makes $223,400 a year. My employer subsequently caved and settled with me without a law suit. I blame George Bush for appointing this idiot.

This judge verbally attacked me my first day in court for asking a question. He told me to sit down and shut up and not to speak until spoken to. I never spoke again. He ruled in my case before I had a chance to present my case which is a violation of my constitutional rights. I went home and filmed a 30 min suicide video because I lost all hope in fairness and justice. He rule in my case while I was on a 5150 hold after I attempted suicide. I could not afford an attorney.

This judge could be the reason we have such crisis in our country over COVID. He is originally from Alabama. An ex LAPD officer with Western University training shouldn’t be on Federal bunch . He through out our class action lawsuit against cast iron maker in 2013 . Environment toxicity will show as a major contributing factor not only in COVID but in other cases such as Seattle children deaths in six babies. One day country will wake up to realize the deep incompetent legal system we have . Without fair justice system no society will last . History is best evidence.

This is my kind of judge. He's on the ball, and goes out of his way to be fair and he watches out for the little guy.

Utterly incompetent judge with the worst judicial temperament I have ever seen. He does not know or understand the law, thus he is completely incapable of applying the law fairly or serving as a useful part of the judicial system. [Redacted by Editor]

Solid judge. Keeps the docket moving. Doesn't waste the parties' time. Often looks for fair results.

I have only had limited experience with Judge Wright and it has been favorable. As one commenter wrote, he is not afraid to make the call and get rid of bogus cases. In my case, he tossed a complaint on a motion to dismiss without leave to amend (which was the right call) when several other judges wasted defense counsel's time in allowing the same plaintiff leave to amend, wasting everyone's time. I have another case pending with him now on the same type of issue, so we'll see how he handles it, but sometimes we need judges who will toss BS cases and let the Ninth Circuit sort it out. He saved my client a lot of money by doing so, and helped others out in other identical cases filed by the same plaintiff. FYI, he decided my case on the papers, so I cannot opine on his demeanor.

Pathetic excuse for a federal judge. This guy has a horrible temperament and frequently yells at attorneys and belittles people in his courtroom. He is supposedly the only federal judge in history to have declared bankruptcy, yet he still has civil matters pending before him all the time. I hope the Justice Dept. is keeping an eye on this guy.

Extremely rude and arrogant from the bench. Influenced by outsiders on Court business. Utter disregard for CA law in my opinion.

June 10,2019 was my mothers sentencing they gave her 60 days to turn herself in which was on August 9. During her sentencing he never gave her a hearing. July 31st my mom had motion files to get a hearing from the judge he accepted a hearing on July 31st, which we thought was so nice of him to do and unexpected.. my sister and I cried of happiness. Later on, August 5 he denies the hearing once again. Like I said he is very demented and likes playing with peoples lives. What kind of judge would play such games like that with someones life. So messed up in so many ways .. We were in just complete shock at this point, at what kind of man he is.

Judge Otis D. Wright, II is possibly one of the worst judges in this damn world. If you end up with this judge good luck to you because he is really unfair and discriminating. He was so so racist and discriminating to my mom who is an Armenian. He never listening to our hearing and proof and just sentenced her. My moms prosecutor suggested 10 years sentencing to my mom, the judge turned around and said " I think that is too harsh for a woman " right after that we have a 15 minute break. We get back from our break and he literally sentences my mom to 10 years in federal prison This was her very first crime.This judge is very bipolar, all I can say is he doesn't deserve to be a judge. Any comments that you see that he's apparently a good judge is not true and very fake! The bad comments outweighs the 2-4 good ones that I can say are pretty fake comments about him. Honestly good luckkkkk to you if you end up with this judge. He is one demented, maniac, judge. Not even over exaggerating one bit. Word for word on my moms transcript Judge Wright said " Yeah, when you enter 5 (d) it's one of the circles of hell. 5 (d) is his court room btw. He seriously plays games with peoples lives. One demented bipolar man.

Rude, Belligerent, NOT impartial. This guy carries a baseball bat round and points it at the attorneys when he addresses them. He is disrespectful to attorneys on ONE side only...mocking them, allowed a witness to commit purgery and did nothing and said he was entitled to 'change his mind'...He is all about performing for the jury.

Sarcastic mocking of criminal defendant's testimony in case where prosecution was on shaky ground. Allowed peanut gallery to giggle at said defendant's testimony in presence of jury. Mocked defendant's country of origin and its political system. Shocked and unimpressed.

Litigated a civil case for a large company before him with high stakes. Ill-prepared and ill-mannered. Illogical rulings. Threatened lawyers, spouted nonsensical remarks and acted in a fashion that was extraordinarily inappropriate, indeed disrespectful to the notion of justice. Every court appearance included the awful experience of watching other civil and criminal matters being mishandled and parties being berated and mistreated. Biased is an understatement. Terrible judge- worst I have experienced in decades of practice. Something should be done. Must be a way to collectively bring a complaint to the Chief Judge or Ninth Circuit.

I had this gentleman as an opposing counsel in 2003, shortly before he was appointed to the federal bench. He was a horrible litigator, just as he is now a horrible Judge. He was disrespectful in every phone conversation we had. Judge Phillips put him in his place in our litigation case due to his lack of scholarship, granting my motions to stay his matter which was a bogus insurance indemnity case brought against an insured that they were currently defending in another matter.

He is a bully that does not care to follow the law. Threatens attorneys all of the time to get the result he wants. Don't risk your case in front of this judge. Immediately file a declaration of bias and prejudice.

Excellent judge. Not afraid to make a difficult decision.

It is difficult to imagine a more incompetent judge.
