How Judge Clabaugh decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
He sustained a constitutional objection when a regulation left residents uncertain about whose consent was required and how the prescribed distance should be measured.
“there is such uncertainty in the terms of this regulation as compels us to sustain the judgment of the court below.”
He accepted uniform Patent Office reasoning where three successive decisions found no patentable method.
“We think the decisions rendered in the Patent Office are conclusive, and, as we thoroughly agree Avith the reasoning of the sei’-eral opinions, it renders unnecessary any further expression upon our part.”
Cautions
He reversed criminal convictions when consolidated mail-fraud charges covered offenses outside the statutory six-month joinder period.
“the joining in this case by the consolidation of the two indictments, of three offenses not committed within the same six months, *240•was error”
