Q: Why did my judge changed after I picked up form to file a complaint?
I went to my hearing and the judge rule opposite of what I was requested. He didn’t look at my evidence and he agreed with the defense without any evidence to support their claim. I went to I&A to file complaint and possibly a motion to dismiss. They are now telling me that I will be getting a new judge. What can I do about the motion to dismiss.
A:
If the judge approved the motion to dismiss, then you must file a Petition for Reconsideration within the statutory period or the ruling will be deemed permanent.
As for the new judge, it is common for the court to change judges, especially after a complaint.
