TL:DR My conclusion is there are some rather noisy and incompetent lawyers that want this guy axed.

After reading through the litany of whinging over this judge, at http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.aspx?ID=1555
and the few positive ratings, I am wondering if the allegations are really sour grapes from attorneys who
got their bullshit handed back to them on a silver platter. This guy is clearly a hardass. However I saw no clear evidence
that the negative comments were anything but inarticulate nerd-rage. The few positive comments clearly articulated why
the judge deserved positive praise. When someone is howling about being oppressed it is pretty damned important to
note how well argued their position is. I did not see a single negative comment that gave any clarity.

Here is a site where people can anonymously comment on their experiences in his court room. He gets a score of 2.5 out of 10. He has a few high ratings, and lots of one and two ratings: http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.aspx?ID=1555

This is a rather articulate comment from the site:

Judge Wright, a jurist largely devoid of judicial, or "people" skills, is an equal opportunity abuser. Routinely arrogant and abrasive, he pontificates down at the lawyers unfortunate enough to have to appear before him. He rules with an iron fist, and a tin-foil mind. He has demonstrated beyond doubt that that he has a short fuse, a hair-trigger, and poor marksmanship (because he rarely manages to hit the right target) with his slings and arrows. What he does hit, however, he hits hard and hits mercilessly! He appears to delight in making lawyers come in for motion "hearings," which are nothing more than a 45 second diatribe by a judge who clearly has not read the papers or done his homework. If Charles Dickens were still alive and writing today, he would be hard-pressed not to create a judge-character based upon this bench-warmer. I also have no doubt that his % of cases reaching trial is very low, caused by parties who have either precipitously been thrown out of Court during motion practice, or by parties settling in a last-ditch effort to avoid the caprice, uncertainties, vagaries, and whims which a trial with Otis presiding portends. There should be a flashing red neon sign above his Courtroom door that warns lawyers, in Dantean terms: "All hope abandon ye who enter here."

I can't imagine a more appropriate court for Prenda Law. It will be a collision between out of control bottom of the barrel scum sucking lawyers and a judge who's legal background is inadequate and has a tendency to use the bench to crush anyone who appears before him. It's literally karma in action, with Biblical style thunderclaps and lightning. What could possibly go wrong?

If you don't think the judge was correct in rubberstamping the seizures, then make your opinion known at http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.aspx?ID=1491

This Harold Baer Jr. fellow certainly doesn't seem well liked... http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.aspx?ID=1392

... and there's a fair amount of this out and about http://www.therobingroom.com/Judge.aspx?ID=1392. Please read this and other user submissions on the net from counsel and others who deal directly with this guy. Then try to explain how he found the sympathy and tolerance for this nonsense? FYI - I have nothing to do with that site nor do I have a vested interest in seeing him go down. Just posting this, from what I hear, is ballsy enough given his NY connections.

This is our "justice system." Makes me sick.

If you feel this judge is especially wrong, clueless, or even really right on, about this, you can make your views heard at The Robing Room. This actually seems to carry some weight in some circles.

Do you want to rank this judge's performance in a public manner? Visit The Robing Room and let your thoughts be heard. Just be sure to get her name and state correct. Judge Florence-Marie Cooper, Federal Judge, California.
