How Judge Otazo-Reyes decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Social Security appeals she recommends granting the claimant's summary judgment where the ALJ's decision is not supported by the record.
“recommending that the Court grant Plaintiff Josefa Lopez Pena's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 19) ... grants Plaintiff Pena's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 19) ... and remands this case to the Commissioner”
Cautions
Where substantial evidence supports the ALJ she recommends granting the Commissioner's summary judgment and affirming the decision.
“the Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 21] be granted, and that the Commissioner's decision be affirmed ... The Commissioner's Motion for Summary Judgment [ECF No. 21] is GRANTED. The Commissioner's decision is AFFIRMED.”
She recommends granting a Rule 12 motion to dismiss with prejudice where the complaint fails to state a claim and amendment would be futile.
“Judge Otazo-Reyes issued a Report ("R&R") recommending that the Court grant with prejudice Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint ... Defendant's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint [ECF No. 75] is GRANTED. Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint [ECF No. 74] is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.”
