How Judge Robles decides

Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.

Procedural preferences

Reconsideration is not a vehicle for repeating arguments the court already evaluated and rejected.

“Plaintiff merely reiterates arguments that the Court considered—and rejected—in the Memorandum.”

Cautions

A request to extend bankruptcy protection to a non-debtor requires concrete proof of irreparable harm and a likely successful reorganization.

“the Debtor has failed to show that it will be irreparably harmed if the Court declines to issue the requested injunction.”
