Shaniek Mills Maynard
How Judge Maynard decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
On Clean Water Act enforcement, recommends against the government where, after Sackett, man-made ditches are not relatively permanent waters and the wetlands lack a continuous surface-water connection.
“Defendants' Cross Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 154) be granted ... Defendants' Cross Motion for Summary Judgment (DE 154) is GRANTED. The Court will separately enter judgment for Defendant.”
Procedural preferences
Treats a compulsory counterclaim as not subject to the IDEA's 90-day limitations period for an original action, recommending denial of a motion to dismiss it as untimely.
“ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the Report and Recommendation [ECF No. 68] is AFFIRMED and ADOPTED. Plaintiffs' Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 58] is DENIED.”
Cautions
Recommends dismissing a complaint that is an impermissible shotgun pleading or barred by Younger abstention.
“Judge Maynard issued the Report, recommending that the Motion be granted ... dismissal is appropriate because (i) Plaintiff's claims are barred by the Younger abstention doctrine, and (ii) the Complaint is an impermissible shotgun pleading ... the Report [ECF No. 33] is AFFIRMED AND ADOPTED ... This case is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.”
