United States Magistrate Judge
Since my appointment as United States Magistrate Judge for the Central District of California is part-time, I am continuing my private mediation and arbitration practice. However, I will handle federal court matters only as settlement conferences under Local Rule 16-15.
To choose me as the settlement judge in your federal court case, and schedule a settlement conference at my Santa Barbara courtroom, please contact my Courtroom Clerk at [email protected]
