Judge Brenden Griffin was blatantly bias to the Plaintiff, or his attys. He didn't even try to hide it. Plaintiff filed a defamation suit against us to harass us and to try to silence us. Griffin, against all the norms of an open court, then had 'anything and everything negative to the Plaintiff sealed from public view'. Griffin went even further; he then ruled that all discovery negative to the Plaintiff from then on would be "Atty Eyes Only", preventing the Defendants from the very material needed to defend themselves, and preventing their attys from sharing the data with their clients. Attys cannot advise their clients when they cannot share the evidence, which is in direct violation of the American Bar Assoc. The Plaintiff had been fired from multiple jobs, had multiple govt entities investigating him which led to him losing his license to practice in all 50 states, at least a dozen law firms advertised on the web to take litigation against this broker (he had more than 30 complaint on FINRA)and so much more. The Plaintiff filled the court record with false accusations, damaging the reputation of the Defendants. Rather than allow the public to see the evidence that proved the Plaintiff had filed a suit simply to harass the Defendants, and show over a decade of the horrific actions of the Plaintiff, Griffin chose to ignore the fact that courts should be open to show justice has been done, Griffin did exactly the opposite. After spending over $200K to defend ourselves, and after Griffin sealed the evidence from us and public view, the Plaintiff dropped the case and walked away. We signed nothing, agreed to nothing and paid nothing to the Plaintiff. If the govt agencies had not taken away the broker's license, he would still be out there harming investors, because Griffin made sure the damning evidence against this person would never see the light of day. Griffin's decision to seal the damning evidence from public view to protect the Plaintiff from public scrutiny, when it was the Plaintiff who brought the suit alleging the evidence would show he had been defamed, was unprecedented!Griffin allowed his court room to become a tool for the Plaintiff to harass the Defendants.

Pleasant disposition, but unwilling to consider the true spirit of the law. Depends on current interpretations, based on prosecutors.
