How Judge Bordeaux decides

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

What persuades

In the published summary-judgment decision, a final state-court securities judgment supported nondischargeability without requiring the parties to retry issues already decided.

“because relying on the Riverside Judgment conserves judicial resources by relieving this Court”

Procedural preferences

Trials and evidentiary hearings ordinarily require in-person appearances unless the court directs otherwise.

“Unless otherwise ordered by Judge Reyes Bordeaux, no party or witness may appear remotely for any trial or evidentiary hearing.”

A remote participant should identify themselves each time they speak so the audio record remains clear.

“Each and every time you speak please say your name so that we can have a clear record.”

Cautions

A party choosing remote participation bears the practical risk of delay, equipment failure, or disconnection.

“any party or counsel choosing to appear remotely takes the risk of any delay, malfunction, or disconnection from the hearing”
