How Judge Wise decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A party seeking to seal a settlement must establish a statutory basis strong enough to overcome public access to the record.
“the public has a right to know the basis for the Court's ultimate assessment.”
Procedural preferences
Filing and confirmation deadlines are enforced as meaningful limits on when a party may raise an objection.
“Deadlines have a purpose.”
Cautions
A party that had ample discovery time should not expect the evidentiary record to be reopened for material it failed to pursue diligently.
“The Court will not exercise its discretion to re-open the trial given the circumstances presented.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“1. The Contempt Motion [ECF No. 19] is GRANTED.”
“Based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Motion to Dismiss [ECF No. 17] is DENIED and the Court will enter an amended Order for Trial.”
“Therefore, the fee is not subject to turnover.”
“For the reasons set forth above, the Movant’s Motion for Relief from Stay [Doc. 23] is DENIED;”
“her Objection to Confirmation [Doc. 15] is OVERRULED;”
“and the Debtor’s Objection to Movant’s Claim [Doc. 43] is SUSTAINED; provided, however, Movant shall have fourteen, days within which to amend her claim.”
“IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that the Debtors’ Motion for an Order Authorizing the Rejection of Certain Agreements with ICG Entities [Doc. 394] is DENIED.”
The opinion reassigned a related adversary proceeding for coordinated consideration but did not finally decide the claim objection.
“The Trustee having met the elements of 11 U.S.C. § 547(b), the Defendants’ liens on the Vehicles are subject to avoidance as a preferential transfer.”
“Her motion for partial summary judgment [Doc. 17] shall be granted, and ROR’s motion [Doc. 18] shall be denied.”
“Plaintiff is not entitled to judgment on the pleadings on the question of willful and malicious injury, and therefore not entitled to judgment on the pleadings on the nondis-chargeability count of its complaint.”
“Contempt for a violation of § 524 may not be adjudicated in an adversary proceeding and for this reason, the Debtor’s Count I alleging violation of the discharge injunction shall be dismissed, without prejudice, with leave for the Debtor to file a motion for contempt in the main bankruptcy proceeding.”
“1. The Seal Motions are DENIED;”
