I had a nuisance eviction trial with opposing counsel. Opposing counsel did not have to argue for more than 2 minutes because Judge Hart did it all for her. He made his decision about this case after reading the court file. For over an hour, I argued with the judge on the law (which he had wrong) and he essentially implied that the defendant was going to win if we went to trial. He threw me out before I even got to present my case in chief and therefore never heard any of the evidence. Because I gathered that this was a loser no matter what I did or what authority I provided, I dismissed the case without prejudice. As soon as I said that to him, he noted that in the file - except to my surprise - he began writing "Judgment for Defendant" to which I screamed that there was a huge difference between a judgment for defendant and a dismissal without prejudice. (By the way, that's when defense counsel then asked for attorney's fees - shameful!) Be careful with this judge.
