The judge leaked my SSN after it was redacted and sealed already... Moved to trial in 5 days. That's 3 business days. Then blamed me for "not having evidence". Judge seems to think that trial fixes everything. Discovery is nonexistent. If you've seen his opinions of late, it's 90% rhetoric, with 100% political activism. I don't know how this judge is still allowed to try cases. Just my two cents.
He seems to think trial is required for every case that lands on his desk. No nonsense when it comes to everyone else but likes to ramble himself. Interrupts people constantly & will yell at people.
It is impossible to describe all the subtleties and details here, but I will briefly describe my experience with this judge and his judging. I represented myself in court for almost a year and hoped for his justice, but over time it began to seem to me that I was not in court, but on the field with an executioner and, possibly, an anti-Semite, as well as a violator of my constitutional civil rights as a citizen of the United States. And I intend to file a lawsuit in the Supreme Court for failure to respect my civil rights.
Definite bias toward corporate interests. Does not closely read papers and when he does he has an outcome-determinative mindset, meaning he reads everything with a particular outcome in mind. He ignores any facts that don't comport with the outcome he has in mind. Recommend non-corporations litigate in front of this judge with a plan to appeal.
Absolute Bias, reads pro se complaints but disregards facts. Enters rulings devoid of factual content. A bully and a coward, no less threatened sanctions upon attempt to appeal. Those who think they are above the, fear the law...and with good reason
Often wrong but seldom in doubt. Judge Young thinks enormously highly of himself but is no judicial heavyweight. He is often rash and hasty, and seems to have a proclivity towards corporate interests. He also favors parties represented by his former clerks. He seems neither interest in knowing about, or adhering to, precedent. Will be a good day for the judiciary when he finally hangs up the robe.
Judge Young does not play fair with pro se litigants. He allows Defendants to violate Rule 26 by loosing evidence and he does not compel them to turn over discovery.
Recently had two cases (Stewart and Soto -- No. 07-1245) reversed by First Circuit. Judge Young refused to force defendants to submit DNA samples based on privacy concerns. The court then discounted each of these interests, concluding that 1) the programmatic collection of DNA has little connection to the supervision of probationers; 2) the government's interest in deterring crime through the DNA program was speculative at best because Stewart's crimes were non-violent property crimes; and 3) the government's general interest in solving crimes should not be given "overmuch weight" in the analysis. The First Circuit ruled in Weikert and concluded that the government has "important interests in monitoring and rehabilitating supervised releasees, solving crimes, and exonerating innocent individuals" through use of the CODIS database. Reversed.
Very smart, but that page-limit thing has got to go. Doesn't enjoy complicated cases.
Judge Young allows his clerk to run his civil docket. He should be well aware that his clerk works under the table transcribing cases for certain attorneys who practice in Young's court. Very bright but very short tempered
Very bright. No nonsense. But can be very mean. And sometimes gets a little frustrated with complex cases.
