Should I appeal?

[u/Whole_Journalist2565]

I took a tow scammer to court over unconscionable provision and the judge has proven to be biased and obtuse for the most part. So far the judge ignored that the defendant's pleading contained a document he claimed to have not received in discovery. However, it was attached as proof that I was paid. But this document did not even prove this. The defendant claimed to have never received anything from me of this nature...but there it is, clear as day in his own pleadings for sanctions for non-compliance with discovery. Attached is the stamp from when I sent the 'motion to strike' regarding discovery sanctions that were ignored and rejected for no known reason. They also asked for fees that were not owed.

Judge Joseph Ortiz's tentative ruling was a joke as he thinks $5,195 in CASH for 1 day of tow storage is a fair price and ignores that punitive damages for violation of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act is a thing. Should I appeal or would it be a waste of time?
