Eric J. Markovich
How Judge Markovich decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
On a Rule 12(b)(2) personal-jurisdiction motion he resolves disputed jurisdictional facts in the plaintiff's favor on a prima facie showing, finding specific personal jurisdiction from purposeful direction (e.g. a generic employee handbook intended for all of a company's parks).
“Judge Markovich's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 158) is accepted and adopted in full. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Get Air, LLC's Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 97) is denied.”
Procedural preferences
On a motion to suppress a Border-Patrol investigatory stop he recommends denial where the totality (border proximity, an indirect route, a TECS alert, erratic driving) supplies reasonable suspicion, making credibility findings the district judge accepts on de novo review.
“IT IS FURTHER ORDERED DENYING Defendant's Amended Motion to Suppress (Doc. 73).”
Cautions
In 28 U.S.C. 2241 habeas he holds that BOP individualized RRC-placement decisions are unreviewable under 18 U.S.C. 3625 and that First Step Act time credits do not compel transfer absent 3624(g) eligibility, recommending dismissal with prejudice.
“Magistrate Judge Eric Markovich's Report and Recommendation (Doc. 43) is ACCEPTED. ... Petitioner's Amended Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 2241 (Doc. 42) is DENIED and DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.”
