Judge Richard J. Arcara is ruling the case (Case No. 1:08-cv-0230) pending before US District Court, western New York. He unreasonably ordered Pro-se plaintiff to reserve the summons to save the defendant from the default although the service was proper and sufficient under Rule 4(d). Defendant committed over 14 months laches under Judge Arcara’s favoritism. The defendant again failed to answer within time, so the Clerk’s Entry of Default was entered. However, Judge Arcara issued a Scheduling Order and forced a Pretrial Conference despite the case’s statue is in default. Judge Arcara’s outrageous ruling beyond the rules and law must be stopped. Now a complaint against Judge Arcara is pending before Court of Appeal and a petition is pending before Congress and US Senate. Judge’s prejudice, favoritism based on possible corruption and bribery must not be allowed in the US Court.

My husband is currently in trial in Ventura county for a case in which he is actually innocent. But the judge wont even give him his legal right to cross examine the police officer. Also after every single objection our lawyer did, the judge wouldn’t allow it, even when the witness (accuser) changed his story, that objection was over ruled. What do I do? My husband is going to go to prison for a case he did not commit, and now the judge is being unfair. I even found out that the detective from the case was my ex-fiance’s brother whom use to beat me. (the ex, not the cop). And the detective is probably doing this just for revenge. But again the judge wont allow us to cross examine him. He didn’t even show up. Please HELP! Help before it’s too late and I run out of money for more lawyers and such. Sincerely getting an unfair trial in Ventura, California

Judge Anna Estavez, Randall Co Amarillo Texas, refused to hear evidence of abuse to my grand-daughter, refused to listen to any of the facts in this case, even though two Montana Judges ruled to give stay of protection to their mother, and a Texas Judge Anderson same county in Texas heard all evidence and upheld the two judge’s decisions. Then, just 3 months later, Estavez is elected to the bench for the first time, being only a sub-standard real estate lawyer, but whose daddy is a wealthy, local, heart doctor, who worked for many years with the man accused, father and to top it off his mother works as a surgical nurse and worked with judge Estevez father at the same hospital for about 30 years! Now, to top that off, the judge the grandma, the accused man, and the therapist all go to the Catholic church together and the judge refuses to recluse herself and turns the children over to the accused man and his mother (he is 39 years old and still living with mommie!). She is the one who wants the children and tells them she is their mother, and not my daughter.

Their is so much proof of the injustices of this judge. What can be done? What have we done to ourselves by allowing our justice system to become so corrupt? How do we stop the insanity, and make these judges have consequences for their bias, and penalties for making decisions before hearing the evidence from both sides.

Please help, as my 6 and 7 year old grandchildren are in great danger!

I am a law student with a real property case in Santa Cruz, which involves nine easements in dispute. One party I am suing is Santa Cruz Title. SCT filed a demurrer in which they claim as escrow holder, they had no duty and that they were not named in the lawsuit. However, they were listed in my complaint properly and according to the law they do have a duty as escrow holder. However, Judge Samuel Stevens ruled in favor of their demurrer and I appealed a writ. However, my writ was AMAZINGLY denied without any explanation. What are my options now? ..will the California Supreme Court deny to hear such a case?Another amazing ruling is that even though I considered settling with my past realtor Alan Melikian and Bailey Property for a small amount of money, no settlement was reduced to writing. In fact, their attorney Hamerslough never even exchanged documents with me. However, Judge Stevens ruled in favor of attorney Hamerslough’s settlement motion without hearing any of the terms of the settlement and without any written agreement. I have not accepted any money for settlement, and won’t. I appealed this decision and it was denied without an explanation.

Is the court really that discriminatory that Judge Stevens can just make AMAZING rulings with no requirement to follow the law, and have the appeallate court uphold those rulings?

In 2007, before Judge Stevens was assigned, because Attorney Bosso did not like one set of interrogatories, Judge Burdick STOPPED all discovery making my case delayed for almost one year. What this enabled Bosso to do was unethically withhold the fact that his clients the Bowden’s were unlawfully using another non-deeded easement on my land (which they knew).  If the settlement had gone through, I would had unknowingly given up my rights regarding that additional easement; which would had been discovered through discovery.  Subsequently, Judge Burdick excused himself from the case.

During the judicial settlement conference, Judge Burdick did not discuss the merits of my case; but only told me ‘you are pro per,’ ‘pro pers never win.’

I will be discussing this case and the amazing rulings of the Santa Cruz court on YouTube in about three weeks.

Recently, a head hunter called me and told me that before Judge Stevens was a judge, and was an attorney in Santa Cruz in the 80s, he was this man’s attorney. This man told me that Judge Stevens told this man that the Santa Cruz courts are such a good old boy system that he would be better off if he could get his case out of Santa Cruz County.  Does this corrupt system still exist?

Every time we get dragged into court by my wifes ex-husband, no matter what, the Judge sides in favor of HIM. The ex-huband’s Lawyer used to be partners with the Judge and the ex-husband’s sister works for the Judge also. We don’t really mind going to court, if we can just get a fair break.
Is this a conflict of interest?

I have a question I need answered: The local judge here in Brunswick county, North Carolina, has made threats to imprison people for 60 days and fine them $500 for wearing shorts in the court room. Can she do that? This judge also makes people swear on a bible before saying anything and refusal to do so can be punished by 120 days in jail. I mean hello.. division of church and state ring any bells? Plus they charge us $120 in court costs for 5 minutes of her time while six over weight hillbillies with guns (cops) tell me I go to jail if I don’t pay… This is armed robbery! There’s no other term for it. please let me know if she can get away with this Nazi regime shes running and if so how do I change it?

On April 10, 2008, I witnessed a terrible bias against a plaintiff in a termination of parental rights/adoption case in Judge Robert (Bob) Jones’ court in Maury County TN Chancery Court. The grandparents have had a child in their custody for almost three years. They are truly trying to save this child’s life. They rescued this child from an abusive and neglectful parent, who has never paid a penny towards the child’s care, and have spent almost $9,000 of their retirement money on litigation. They have spent even more on medical, psychological, and educational teatment for this child. Judge Jones showed immediate bias to the plaintiff just prior to the hearing in the hallway outside his office. Although he could have gone around her, he stared her down and ordered her to move out of his way. The plaintiff had never seen the judge before in her life. Despite over 600 pages of documents and seven witnesses consisting of 3-therapists, 3- teachers, and the defendants own brother, Judge Jones admonished the plaintiff for “hiring the law firm with the largest advertisement in the book and you are back to square one.” He refused to reset the case for trial and declared the defendant indigent although she has a job and just purchased a $21K car from an infinity dealer. Although the plaintiff’s attorney erred in his quest to locate one of the parents, Judge Jones failed in that he failed to appoint a guardian ad litem in this case, which had been on the calendar for several months. He was also way out of line to show bias towards the plaintiffs’ attorney. Judge Jones job was to give these plaintiffs (and the defendant) the right to have their evidence heard and to make a fair judgment based on that evidence. He has no right to decide, before listening to one shred of evidence, that the case has no merit and that the abusive mother should be allowed to seek remedy through juvenile court. He certainly has no right to criticize a litigant for their choice of attorney and penalize them for this.
