How Judge Moe decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In an airport lease bankruptcy appeal, she reversed permission to assume the lease because the earlier state judgment expressly terminated it and could not be recast by the bankruptcy court.
“the Lease has been deemed terminated”
Procedural preferences
In West’s employment-discrimination case, Judge Moe dismissed the amended complaint without prejudice after finding that its factual allegations did not identify which facts supported each claim.
“The Amended Complaint fails to comply with the pleading requirements set forth in Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) and 10(b) and is an impermissible shotgun pleading.”
Signed rulings

These fourteen selected cases describe only the reviewed matters, not the judge's whole docket.
Pending matters in the official report
Reported by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts under the Civil Justice Reform Act, as of March 31, 2026.
| Motions pending more than six months | 0 |
| Bench trials submitted more than six months | 0 |
| Bankruptcy appeals pending more than six months | 2 |
| Social Security appeals pending more than six months | 0 |

A snapshot on that date: matters listed may since have been decided or reassigned. A motion referred to a magistrate judge is counted for both judges. Motions in multidistrict litigation, section 2255 cases and Social Security appeals are not counted, and a very large three-year count is generally a multidistrict docket.
