Can you please mention other arguments that Plaintiff could use to substantiate what the Plaintiff perceives could be Judicial Misconduct because now the Judge has granted the Defendant a vacated Default Judgment without them even submitting a reason that could or could not be accepted by a court the Defendant just said they made a mistake they filed it on May 9th and the Judge granted it on May 9th same day although the Defendant evaded the court from October 9th * until May 5th *
In addition to the arguments already mentioned, here are a few more points the Plaintiff might consider for potential judicial misconduct:
- Inconsistency with Precedent: Argue that the decision to vacate the default judgment without a valid reason contradicts established legal precedents.
- Bias or Favoritism: Suggest there may have been bias if the decision appears unreasonably favorable to the Defendant.
- Lack of Due Diligence: Point out that the judge may have failed to exercise due diligence by not requiring a valid reason for vacating the judgment.
