How Judge Geyer decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Merchant cash advance labels do not control when recourse, guarantees, and risk allocation show that the transaction functions as a loan.
“the Court determines the Fox Agreement reflects a loan transaction and not a sale.”
Procedural preferences
Relief from a clerk's default requires a concrete showing of good cause, not merely confusion about whether a default judgment has entered.
“The Debtor failed to demonstrate good cause to set aside the Clerk’s default.”
Cautions
A proposed insurance settlement with third-party bar orders may remain permissible when binding circuit precedent applies and the Supreme Court's narrower ruling is materially distinguishable.
“Purdue is so distinguishable from the instant case that it does not preclude the bar orders at issue here.”
