Dear U.S. District Judge Chuang,

My name is Matt Winick, an Asian American from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I have a strong interest in learning history including social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.  U.S. District Judge Chuang, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as U.S. District Judge for the District Court of Maryland to be very inspiring to me.

In  2013, I liked on how you accepted President Obama to nominate you to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District Court of Maryland to help him improve the judicial system along with criminal justice reform.  In your current role as  U.S. District Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District Court of Maryland, I truly appreciate on how you are a strong supporter and advocate of civil rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, pushing for strict sentencing for people who commit hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different, and expressing the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination. Supporting drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they to reduce drug abuse, working with the court system to help expand on programs to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence to help them deal with trauma,  and expressing the need for funds for DNA testing including forensic science to help solve evidence along with cases efficiently while reduce sending an innocent person to jail is common sense for criminal justice reform. Another thing that I like about your work in the U.S. District Court for the District Court of Maryland is how you support and advocate for protecting civil liberties from being violated like the fourth amendment to help protect people from unreasonable searches. Besides your work  in the judicial system, I like on how you use your role as an Asian American to help advocate for Asian American rights including Asian American with disabilities’ rights,  expressing the need for more educational awareness to help educate people about Asian American culture, and working with other Asian American organizations to help find ways to help advocate for their rights. 

U.S. District Judge Chuang, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter and advocacy for civil rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability. Also being an Asian American with a disability is difficult for me because some Asians including some Asian Americans tease me or get judgmental about me being different along with how they believe that I don’t meet their standards. Your role as an Asian American on advocating for Asian American rights including Asian American with disabilities’ rights helps give me some confidence about being an Asian American when I face different challenges.  Your current role as U.S. District Judge for the District Court of Maryland gives me motivation to continue to learn history including social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make civil rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. 

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference for society. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to support  and advocate for civil rights and criminal justice reform. Also I’m also proud on how you are a continuous supporter of the Asian American community and advocating for their rights. You have inspire me to work hard on my disability, be confident about being an Asian American when I face different challenges, and continue to learn history including social justice.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to make a great difference for society, and inspiring me.  Please continue to make a great impact on the criminal justice system.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
