How Judge Eginton decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
In Karath v. Board of Trustees of Tunxis Community College, he deemed the defendant's summary-judgment facts admitted after the plaintiff failed to file the counter-statement required by Local Rule 56(a), and granted the motion.
“defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. #44) is GRANTED. The Clerk is instructed to close this case.”
Cautions
In Caban, Eginton denied the municipality’s motion for summary judgment.
“the Motion for Summary Judgment [doc. #46] is DENIED.”
In Fisher, Eginton granted dismissal and allowed the plaintiffs fifteen days to file a short, plain amended complaint.
“defendants' motion to dismiss [Doc. 13] is GRANTED. Plaintiffs may submit an amended complaint containing a short and plain statement of their claim for relief within 15 days.”
