How Judge Hodge decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A dismissal request may succeed only as to the specific relief that is legally unavailable while other claims continue.
“The motion is GRANTED, insofar and only insofar, as the court hereby dismisses all claims in the complaint which requested the dismissal or ‘termination’ of the revocatory action described in the complaint.”
Cautions
The court entered default relief after considering both the motion and supporting evidence rather than relying only on the absence of an appearance.
“CONSIDERING the Motion for Default Judgment filed by plaintiff RWDY, INC., and the evidence submitted in support thereof”
