How Judge Martinez decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Fair Credit Reporting Act cases, treats inaccuracy as the threshold element; where the plaintiff cannot show the reported information was inaccurate or materially misleading, grants the defendant summary judgment without reaching the remaining elements.
“IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant Experian Information Solutions, Inc.'s Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED. (Doc. 45.) The Clerk of Court shall enter judgement in favor of Defendant Experian ... and close the file in this case.”
Procedural preferences
Will defer summary judgment, denying the motion without prejudice, to allow a party's needed Rule 56(d) discovery.
“(3) Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. (Doc. 28.)”
Cautions
Conducts an independent, de novo Speedy Trial Act analysis rather than rubber-stamping a recommendation, denying dismissal after computing the excludable time.
“IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's Motion to Dismiss on Speedy Trial is DENIED. (Doc. 66.)”
