How Judge Park decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In a trademark dispute, found the plaintiffs' infringement claim plausible in significant part because the defendants' own filings with the trademark office demonstrated their intent -- a party's own paper trail can supply the factual matter a complaint needs to survive dismissal.
“the Complaint, PI Motion, and their attachments, including Hinshaw IT's own applications to the USPTO, contain sufficient factual matter demonstrating intentional violations by Defendants of trademark law.”
Cautions
On a preliminary-injunction bond, a defendant's generalized, unquantified claims of harm (lost customers, lost "listing partnerships") were not enough to raise the bond above a nominal amount -- a party opposing injunctive relief needs concrete figures, not general assertions.
“Defendants do not provide any detailed information as to the number of customers "active" on the domain; the costs of investment in the domain; the costs of webpage development; and the list of partnerships that would vanish upon removal of the webpage... the Court FINDS that bond in the nominal amount of $1,000 is reasonable.”
A pro se civil-rights claim seeking to compel a prosecutor to investigate was dismissed with prejudice and without leave to amend, rather than given the routine extra chance to replead, once the requested relief ran into both prosecutorial immunity and the separation of powers.
“this Court finds Plaintiff's Complaint should be DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. Plaintiff's request for relief violates the doctrine of separation of powers and the Complaint does not state a cognizable constitutional violation.”
