Judge Matthew Brower in San Diego Superior Court, 330 W. Broadway, San DIego, CA  92101. Room C-61.

On March 5, 2019, I got a protective order against someone who was harassing me and causing mental anguish against me. Judge Matthew Brower granted the order. The other person filed a cross petition against me and was granted the order.

The trial date was March 26, 2019. On March 23, 2019, I was afraid, and my PTSD which is from child hood trauma was in high gear. I went to the emergency room where I was treated with different medication. I had a VALID medical excuse that prevented me from going to the hearing.

When I was well enough I filed a motion to vacate. The hearing was on July 31, 2019 at 830AM. Judge Matthe Brower DENIED to hear anything I had against the other person. He also told me that he did not care about my anxiety and PTSD. "You made a choice not to be here" he told me.

I tried to explain about why I did not show up. He told me" You put yourslef in a fork in the road. You did not show. No excuse" I explained that the other person was still harassing me and opening up bank accounts in my name. Judge said "He can do anything he wants"

I have a 5 year order on me for doing nothing but not showing up. Judge Brower did not care about my well being and said he would not modfy or vacate the order even though I had paper work and other peoples testimony.

My PTSD is from child hood trauma. From 1981-1982, my father sold me as a prostitute at age 11. This also brought in Stockholm syndrome. Was Judge Brower correct or  not?

Suggestions and comments are welcome. Thank you

The comments made on this report are 100% Judge Brower himself. It is extremely easy to see by the way the sentences are constructed, the hostility in the tone, and the knowledge of other pieces of info from the case that no one else reading it would have. The comments absolutely sound just like the way Judge Brower speaks when he is on the bench and it just goes to show what an POS he is. What a disgusting excuse for a judge. He deserves only the worst things in life and I hope he’s as miserable deep down as he appears. To the original author of this report, Im so sorry you had to experience this abuse from someone who’s supposed to be fair and help protect victims like you. And I pray you can heal one day from these events and from the those of your father. Stay strong and know you are heard and understood by others, you deserve better! God bless.

This is the statement fromt the narrative that pretty much sealed your fate and why the judge was correct:

" You put yourslef in a fork in the road. You did not show. No excuse"  His statement indicates you failed to notify the court prior to the trial of your health/mental situation.  By failing to do so, you no showed a trial.  By definition, a default judgment was entered against you, and such a judgment cannot be appealed.  The person who is opening up bank accounts in your name appears to have Power of Attorney over your activities and it would seem with very good reason.  You don't seem particularly competent to handle your own affairs - at least based on your own narrative.

He also told me that he did not care about my anxiety and PTSD.  Had you contacted the court, the trial would likely have been deferred, and your condition taken into consideration.  By not informing the court of your unavailability, it doesn't matter whether you have PTSD or not.  There are very few things you can do that are worse than not showing.

It's now time for you to toughen up and take some responsibility for your own failure here - this has nothing to do with your PTSD or your anxiety.  You're almost 50 years old and now almost 40 years removed from the events you speak of.

First off you are not telling us the entire story, and that is because it would actually point out things that would probably make your claims invalid.

Did you contact the courts about your first Court date BEFORE that date? If not you failed to appear, and then it becomes how unavailable you were? If you were released from the hospital before the 26th, you were considered well enough to be released and therefore had no excuse to not contact the courts. Where you are lucky they allowed the motion to vacate at all.  

If you come up with some reason why you couldn't call the courts, did you have a friend or relative who could do that?  With PTSD you are obviously under a Doctor's care and they likely know about the hearing, so why couldn't they contact the courts on your behalf?  

As for the actual hearing. What is the relationship between you and this other person? Do they have any sort of Power of Attorney or Court order that allows them to handle your affairs. If so then yes they may legally be able to open up any account they want, and would explain why the judge made that statement.

As for the actual harrassement. How exactly were they harrassing you? Then if they were harrassing you, why would you even want anything to do with them?  As if there is a protective order against you, in the end the result is the same..you can't contact each other..exactly what you wanted. What is the specific reason they wanted the order placed?

What is the rest of the story here?
