Stefan R. Underhill

He ruined the connecticut bench Player umpire Typical federal judge who never first chaired a jury trial

He is the modern judge freisler type. Horrible.

Open the courts. Be independent despite author of your appointment. There is no 'pandemic' exception to the Constitution.

'The jury gets it.' They get it. Until jury disagrees with him. Then they don't get it. Insufferably arrogant. Best thing about corona is you never have to go through phony hand shake ritual of his. In reply to earlier poster, no. He does not care. At all.

Does Judge Underhill ever wonder what happens to the litigants who were once seeking fair hearings? He was prejudiced against my civil rights case refusing a hearing when I was illl. Now my compensation is three times my best at the employer who fired me while needing FMLA leave with $500,000 of equity. He remains a federal judge. Clearly I overcame. He was close minded. I never will agree with his narrow prejudficed mind. Thankfully I was rewarded for my potential in ways that he will never experience as an opinionated prejudiced federal judge with a salary cap.

This judge is a conspirator judge with a fraudulent act at the social security and federal deposit insurance see cases 1919-CV 1260 and 19cv-1469, 19- CV 1231, will be remove from the federal court, corrupted judge

Like many federal judges, I doubt he ever tried a civil case as a lawyer. Certainly not first chair. Certainly not on behalf of an individual. His goal is to not just let you know that he is much, much smarter than you (Yale confuses people this way), but to impose his august wisdom on how every case should turn out by hook or crook. Too bad for Connecticut bench and the people who seek justice here.

Judge Underhill is one of our worst federal judges. He is heavily biased against individuals and favors the rights of corporations. He prejudges matters before they are briefed. He intimidates lawyers into giving up on claims. Recently, he decided the merits of a collective action at the certification stage when the law is clear that merits are not to be considered. He knows this law but ruled on the merits anyway. He simply does what he wants and favors corporations all to the detriment of hard working individuals.

Finally Judge Underhill is a chief judge who is piled high with paperwork and administrative duties leaving him precious little time for litigation and trials. He was a prejudiced judge who disregarded Federal Rules of Civil Procedure such as his refusal to write an Order on a Motion to Disqualify an administratively suspended attorney. May he spend his time in an office working on papers and away from the bench

Judge Underhill acts in haste without establishing facts and makes blatantly erroneous decisions without adequate analysis of legal precedents. How can we get him removed from the bench before he harms lives,wastes additional taxpayer money and fails to uphold the judicial standards?

has no business being a judge. a weird, nasty person. hates plaintiffs and everyone knows it.

Judge Underhill was stubborn and quick tempered forming opinions on his impulse rather than facts. He made decisions on orders without a hearing in violation of well established due process rights to be heard.

Judge Underhill demonstrates deep prejudice and let Nicole Tuman Walsh practice for 15 months while administratively suspended from the Connecticut bar. Now Walsh in his court again facing RBRG Trading. Walsh had not practiced for five years before coming to Judge Underhill administratively suspended. Judge Underhill is hated and despised for his prejudice. May he burn in hell

As bad as some of these comments are, he is really awful. Everyone on my team disliked him, and could see that the jurors did too. He belongs in some second rate white shoe firm charging $700 hour to make himself feel important.

Defense lawyer in black robe.

Litigants should know that Judge Underhill makes decisions without a written order and without a fair hearing. In 13 CV 1382 he used inherent authority to let opposing counsel practice on the lawsuit without a certificate of good standing when she was administratively suspended from the Connecticut bar. Then he used inherent authority to sanction me for a disqualification motion. Judge Underhill never wrote an order on the disqualification motion but made a personal prejudiced decision that opposing counsel could practice without good standing. The sanctions motion was not served in accordance with Rule 11. Judge Underhill denied and fair hearing on the Motion because I was forbidden from discussing opposing counsel's related party transactions in the sanctions hearing. Judge Underhill has the opinion of appeal if you don't like it. I am Pro Se and don't have the skills for an appeal. Also my case was FMLA and I found another job that pays more so my damages were mitigated. Judge Underhill makes personal prejudiced decisions from the bench without a written order establishing the facts. Please email me if you would like additional information. I found him as prejudiced and someone who doesn't follow civil procedure

Judge Underhill presided over my FMLA lawsuit. He denied my hearing on a Motion for Summary Judgment because I had a job interview. He grossly abused his power as a judge and used inherent authority to allow an attorney who was administratively suspended from the bar to practice in the case, and then he sanctioned me using inherent authority to sanction me for seeking the counsel's disqualification. He could not grasp basic concepts about the case or recall that he granted both the Plaintiff's and Defendant's Summary Judgment motions. Ultimately I found a job that increased my pay by $35,000 and didn't have time for an appeal. I was deeply disappointed with Judge Underhill's poor performance. I hated him as a judge and for his lack of compassion and regard for other humans. He doesn't have any sympathy for people. I found him harsh, capricious, opinionated and stubborn

Judge Underhill was extremely unfair in my civil case, and he demonstrated an angry hostile temperament. The Second Circuit Appellate Chief Judge called Judge Underhill as a "frustrated, impatient, imperfect human". While Judge Underhill was not punished for his behavior on the bench, the appellate chief judge didn't have kind words in his description of Judge Underhill.

not half as smart as he thinks he is. glib and flippant.

Judge Underhill is the worst district judge in the US Second Circuit based on my cases filed in CT and NY. He becomes enraged, visibly angry and hostile without cause. He was prejudiced against my disability and denied me multiple hearing requests because I was disabled on his desired date for the hearing. He violated my constitutional rights to free speech and sanctioned me for expressing my opinion on a subject. I filed a judicial complaint with the US Second Circuit Court of Appeals against him which remains open after many months, and I have never complained about another judge at any time. I would never recommend him as an appellate jurist.
