How Judge Kimmins decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
On habeas review, recommends denial where the claim is without merit.
“The Court finds the R&R is well-reasoned and adopts Judge Kimmins's findings and conclusions that the Petition should be denied because the claim is without merit. ... IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying the Petition (Doc. 1) and dismissing this matter.”
Procedural preferences
In criminal cases, resolves motions to suppress on the specific record, recommending suppression where warranted and denial where not, and the district judge routinely adopts the recommendation.
“IT IS ORDERED that the Report and Recommendation (Doc. 72) is accepted and adopted in full. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Defendant's Motion to Suppress (Doc. 44) is granted.”
In products-liability cases, recommends granting summary judgment in part and denying it in part, analyzing each count individually.
“Defendants' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment is GRANTED in part as to Counts II, IV, XI, XII, and XV, and DENIED in part as to Counts I (to the extent based on a failure to warn), III, VI, VII, IX, X, XIII, and XIV (Doc. 55).”
