How Judge Archer decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Archer reversed summary judgment when laches and estoppel could not be resolved on the undisputed record.
“We conclude that the district court’s grant of summary judgment on the basis of laches and estoppel must be reversed, and the case is remanded.”
Procedural preferences
Archer treated diligent reliance on counsel as good cause to excuse a late administrative appeal where the agency showed no prejudice.
“We conclude that the facts show Semans exercised reasonable diligence and ordinary prudence with respect to the filing of his appeal.”
He dismissed an appeal when the challenged interlocutory order was not yet reviewable.
“Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the appeal is dismissed.”
Cautions
Archer required administrative filing rules to yield when reasonable diligence and lack of prejudice established good cause.
“Absent an allegation or evidence of prejudice to the agency, there was good cause for waiving the filing time limit, and the board abused its discretion in refusing to do so.”
Signed rulings
