How Judge King decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
On employment summary-judgment motions King parses the claims: she recommends granting the employer's motion on hostile-work-environment and state-law claims while denying it on the tangible-employment-action harassment and retaliation claims.
“The court ADOPTS the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Janet F. King [67-1] as the ORDER of this court. The court GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART Defendant's motion for summary judgment [36-1].”
Cautions
On suppression motions in a multi-defendant drug conspiracy she holds a hearing, makes credibility findings on the officers' testimony, and recommends denying all suppression motions and a motion to sever.
“the court DENIES all of the defendants' motions to suppress [64] [68] [69] [70] [71] [72] [86] [87] [103] [108] [129] ... ADOPTS AS MODIFIED the Report and Recommendation of Magistrate Judge Janet F. King, and OVERRULES Defendant Crowell's Objections thereto”
