How Judge Adair decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Henning, Adair treated the plaintiffs’ broad release as independently defeating later contract and related claims.
“plaintiffs released any and all claims against defendant arising from the agreement between the plaintiffs and defendant entered into June 23, 1948”
Procedural preferences
In Loosley, Adair enforced deposition obligations through the express sanctions authorized for a willful failure to appear.
“Plaintiff having wilfully failed to appear, it is the opinion of this court that defendants are entitled to invoke the penalty provided for in subsection (d), Rule 37, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure”
