David G. Campbell
How Judge Campbell decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Grants leave to proceed under a pseudonym under the Ninth Circuit's Advanced Textile balancing test, with conditions that the real name be usable in discovery and at trial but omitted from public filings.
“IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for permission to proceed under pseudonym (Doc. 2) is granted with the conditions identified above.”
Procedural preferences
On a partial motion to dismiss, dismisses only the claim with an incurable jurisdictional/exhaustion defect (denying leave to amend) while sustaining claims that are adequately pleaded.
“IT IS ORDERED that Defendant's motion to dismiss (Doc. 11) is granted with respect to Plaintiff's retaliation claim, and otherwise denied.”
Cautions
Grants a defendant debt collector's partial summary judgment across FDCPA theories, applying the least-sophisticated-debtor standard.
“Defendants' motion for partial summary judgment (Doc. 15) is granted.”
