How Judge McKinney decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Dinner Bell Markets, McKinney required concrete proof that enforcement would cause harm beyond ordinary economic loss before granting a stay.
“irreparable harm is more than monetary loss; there must be more than a speculative chance of other irreparable injury.”
Procedural preferences
In Kress, McKinney rejected class treatment where the record showed isolated incidents rather than a policy common to the proposed class.
“Plaintiffs have not shown that these individual incidents resulted from policies or procedures applied to all Jail II inmates.”
