    Quite amazing, client had an internet first master hearing with Judge Sims, he hired an attorney two days before, the client moved to another jurisdiction one week before the first master, attorney filed a change of venue, relief, and written pleadings, Judge Sims denied the cov as untimely and no good cause, the attorney and client were on the webex internet hearing as directed,on the master date, attorney waited two hours and called the judges clerk, the clerk said Judge sims can see the entry of appearance online, and attorney should just wait,four hours and the attorney called and spoke with the court administrator, who said there was no internet hearing, only in person,attorney said he had a copy of the notice that said internet hearing, and did in fact call the judges clerk, the administrator said too bad no internet hearings for Judge sims eventhough ECAS and the i800 number confirmed internet hearing scheduled, administrator said well file a motion to reopen in absentia removal, wow what a miserable court and judge

    Come on, he is not that bad. I was one of three people in 2019 who had a merits granted before him and he even gave me a continuance once. Great courtroom to learn the law. Forget about law school, I learned much of what I know from arguing before him. I think when he retires it will be al loss.

    it just sad how the court is not taking a legal action against him despite all the complaints been filed and the bad reputation he has all over the country and not to mention the lack of work professionalism and the harshly way he goes on immigrants, he worse than the Ice prosecutor and by the way below zero fairness

    I have attended his trials twice i think he is the worst of all, according to my whole reading about him
    Most of his decisions reflect the amount of hatred and racism inside him
