She should not be on the Bench. She allows her opinions to color her court decisions.

This judge likes to lecture people even if she has no basis to do so. Moralizing busy-body.

Worse Judge ever. Obviously not happy doing her job. She is being put out to pasture and hidden doing small claims.
Which I may add, she has no reason to for her to be allowed on the bench at all. She Does not follow her pre trial instructions, she is disinterested in the cases she is involved with and should not be allowed to be involved with any litigation. Horrible! Unfair!
Rude!
