How Judge Eve decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
As a Rule 702 / Daubert gatekeeper she demanded case-specific, methodologically reliable expert work, excluding an opinion that offered sweeping generalizations about the field rather than analysis tied to the actual parties and facts before her.
“the majority of Dr. Manning’s nine-page report is comprised of sweeping generalizations regarding ‘police organizations,’ ‘police departments,’ the police ‘organizational culture,’ and the attitudes and characteristics of police officers. Dr. Manning offers CPD-specific opinions only sporadically in the report.”
