How Judge Gunn decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In the sampled trade-secret nondischargeability dispute, a prior judgment supplied issue-preclusive findings sufficient for summary judgment.
“the Plaintiff is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”
Procedural preferences
A bad-faith Chapter 11 dismissal request must establish objective futility before the court reaches subjective intent.
“the Movants have failed to meet the first element of the Carolin Test, and the Motion to Dismiss must be denied.”
Cautions
At the pleading stage, count-specific defects may lead to dismissal with leave to amend while sufficiently pleaded counts remain.
“Grants the Motion to Dismiss as to Counts III, IV, and V, with leave to amend”
