Robin Lee Rosenberg
How Judge Rosenberg decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In mass-tort litigation she grants summary judgment where a Daubert ruling has excluded the plaintiffs' general-causation experts, leaving no admissible evidence that the product can cause the alleged injury.
“Pursuant to Rule 56(f) and the order to show cause process endorsed in cases such as Home Depot, the Court enters summary judgment in favor of every Defendant in the MDL, Brand or non-Brand, in every active Designated Cancer case filed prior to May 5, 2023.”
Procedural preferences
On an arbitration-waiver argument she applies the Garcia/Ivax two-step and finds no waiver where the defendant's first substantive response in the case was the motion to compel arbitration.
“Defendant's Motion to Compel Arbitration [14] is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART. The Motion is granted in that the parties must proceed with arbitration. The Motion is denied insofar as Defendant asks for the arbitration to take place in Boca Raton, Florida. Arbitration shall take place in London, Ontario.”
Cautions
In Florida premises-liability slip-and-fall cases she grants the store summary judgment where a transitory spill was too recent (here about 67 seconds) to establish constructive knowledge under Fla. Stat. 768.0755.
“Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment [DE 67] is GRANTED and summary judgment is entered in favor of Defendant.”

“Defendants' Motion is therefore granted to the extent it argues that Park Place should be joined in this action, but it is denied without prejudice in all other respects.”

“it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant’s Motion [DE 58] is GRANTED. Counts I and II are DISMISSED. Because this is the first dismissal based on a Court order, the Court’s dismissals are WITH LEAVE TO AMEND.”
Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
Median case duration in the sampled dockets: 82 days (N = 9).
Median motion-to-ruling time: 48 days (N = 5).
The reviewed 2021-2023 matters include a diverse civil caseload and the Zantac multidistrict litigation. Several admiralty, consumer-reporting, patent, copyright-subpoena, and prisoner-screening cases ended within one to five months. The Zantac tag-along cases that opened and closed in spring 2022 were administrative multidistrict-litigation transfers rather than merits adjudications. This provides descriptive context rather than a caseload-wide rate.
