Dear [Recipient's Name],
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Judge [Judge's Name] who presided over my case, [Case Number], in [Court Name]. My complaint pertains to the judge's failure to enforce the rules of discovery, which significantly prejudiced my case and resulted in an unjust summary judgment against me.
Here are the key points of my complaint:
- Failure to Enforce Discovery Rules: Judge [Judge's Name] did not ensure that the opposing party complied with the discovery rules.
- Summary Judgment: Due to the lack of enforcement, I was unable to present critical evidence, leading to a summary judgment in favor of the opposing party.
- Prejudice and Unjust Outcome: The judge's actions directly impacted my ability to defend my case properly.
I kindly request a thorough review of Judge [Judge's Name]'s conduct in this matter. I believe this oversight has caused a significant miscarriage of justice in my case.
