How will judges view a withdrawal grade in a class?

I withdrew from a 2 credit independent research course. Otherwise, my grades are all A's and A-'s at a lower T14 (probably top 5%). Any idea how a judge will view this?

You might get a question about it, and some judge somewhere might draw an inference, but I doubt it'll matter if you're otherwise qualified (and grades-wise you are).

Yeah, I think that a judge might ask you a question about it just because it's a little out of the ordinary, but I don't think it'll affect your chances much.

You never know what a particular judge might care about, but it's highly unlikely that you will get a question about this. A withdrawal from an independent-study course is essentially a clerical matter. Who cares?
