Eva J. Dossier
How Judge Dossier decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
On a Rule 12(b)(6) motion against a pro se prisoner's civil-rights claim she recommends denial without prejudice where the plaintiff's amended factual allegations cure the earlier pleading deficiencies.
“the Court adopts Magistrate Judge Dossier's R&R as its opinion. The Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE defendant April Tomlin's motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim.”
Procedural preferences
On Social Security appeals Dossier applies exceedingly deferential substantial-evidence review and will not reweigh the evidence or substitute her judgment for the ALJ's, even if the evidence preponderates against the decision.
“IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff Anthony Carey's Motion for Summary Judgment (R. Doc. 18) is DENIED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the decision of the Administrative Law Judge is AFFIRMED and that this matter is hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.”

Her R&R adopted by Vance (clear error). Pro se pretrial-detainee 1983 excessive-force; mail returned 'NO LONGER IN CUSTODY', recommended DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE for failure to prosecute (Rule 41(b)). This dismissal did not resolve a party motion.

“IT IS ORDERED that Defendants' Motion to Modify the Protective Order (R. Doc. 175) is DENIED”
