How Judge Moore decides

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

Procedural preferences

Applies the magistrate-referral standard of review precisely: reviews an unobjected Findings & Recommendation for clear error only and adopts it, while conducting de novo review of any portion to which a party lodges a sufficiently specific objection.

“the Court OVERRULES Defendants' objection (ECF No. 36), ACCEPTS and ADOPTS the recommendation (ECF No. 35), and GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART Defendants' motion to dismiss (ECF No. 20).”

Willing to raise summary judgment sua sponte under Rule 56(f), with notice and an opportunity to respond, to resolve a dangling counterclaim once the dispositive question is decided.

“summary judgment is granted in favor of Plaintiffs and against Defendants on Defendants' counterclaim for breach of contract”

Cautions

In deliberate-indifference-to-medical-needs suits he holds that a detainee's disagreement with the course of treatment is not deliberate indifference and that conclusory municipal-liability allegations fail, and he declines supplemental jurisdiction over the remaining state-law claims.

“the motions to dismiss (ECF Nos. 131, 135) are GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART as follows: (1) Plaintiff's claims against Defendant Arapahoe County Sheriff's Department are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE; (2) Plaintiff's remaining claims are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE”

Caseload & timing

From public federal docket records for this judge.

Recency windows (2019-2021) are criminal-dominated; the four contested 2018 civil durations (462-1337 days) run far longer than the criminal/2255 bulk. This is a small illustrative set, not a duration distribution.
