How Judge Anderson decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In trademark disputes over expressive works he grants summary judgment under the Rogers v. Grimaldi test (artistic relevance above zero and not explicitly misleading), rejecting a 'cultural significance' gloss and deciding on the papers without oral argument.
“For the foregoing reasons, the Court grants Fox's Motion for Summary Judgment. The Court shall enter a Judgment consistent with this Order.”
Cautions
On de novo review he adopts magistrate recommendations dismissing state-prisoner 28 U.S.C. 2254 petitions with prejudice, including as untimely under AEDPA.
“IT IS ORDERED that: 1. Respondent's Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED; 2. Judgment shall be entered denying the Petition and dismissing this action with prejudice.”
