How Judge Bryan decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
He treated an employee stock arrangement as an option rather than a completed transfer when the employee had no obligation to pay.
“as there was no obligation on the part of the employee to pay for the stock, the agreement was lacking in mutuality, and consequently that there was no sale or transfer of title to the stock.”
Procedural preferences
He required exclusion of evidence obtained after officers searched a private dwelling without a warrant despite the occupant's refusal of consent.
“Here no.warrant was procured, and no attempt was made to eomply with section 25 of the Prohibition Act.”
Cautions
In disability-insurance litigation, he treated medical evidence, the claimant's work record, and a long filing delay as collectively capable of defeating recovery.
“the plaintiff, in view of the medical testimony, of his work record, and of his long delay in bringing suit, failed to make out a case which entitles him to recover.”
Signed rulings

“Error is not made to appear by any of the assignments, and the judgments are affirmed.”
“The judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.”

“the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion.”
