Senator Crapo says the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals “is problematic in a number of ways and because of this, our justice system itself suffers.” Ha, that is an understatement! Yes, thousands of people who have suffered true grievances and go through the appeals process to have the fair review allowed by our law, are detrimentally affected. Not only have appellants been railroaded by the lower courts they are victimized by the Ninth Circuit Court as well. 

 Ninth Circuit Court judges don’t even read or sign the unpublished memorandums or memorandums are just stamped by the clerk of the court and most of the briefs are not even read at all. Chief Justice Judge Kozinski writes there are a lot of critics that say this but he challenges the critics to show him proof that the case law cited is irrelevant and contradict not just other Ninth Circuit Court opinions but other Circuits as well. http://notabug.com/kozinski/unpublisheddispositions...</description>

<description>Well, (Mauralarkins.com) has enough dismissals posted that fit the challenge of Chief Judge Kozinski. The unpublished memorandums handed to 80% of appellants’ average about three paragraphs with about four citations. The citations are totally irrelevant to the cases on appeal. They contradict other Ninth Circuit Court decisions as well as other Circuit Courts and Supreme Court runings. Peters v. Guajome Park Academy 
Appeal No. #06-56587 is a perfect example of how cases are papered 
and never even read by the court clerks write most of the 80% unpublished opinions. Chief Justice Kozinski is so proud of the Ninth Circuit sloppy work.
