Diana M. Wheatley, West Dist. SM Courthouse Dept. D Civil
I've known her for a long time, so I like her. Nevertheless, she is really a good judge and wants to make the correct decision. While some people have a perception of her being all sweet and nice (which she is) she knows right from wrong, and who is lying, etc. She will explain herself, is polite, will research issues, and even though once I lost a trial on a rather esoteric technicality (which really pissed me off), the law has rules and she is supposed to follow them!
