How Judge Boroff decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A mortgage-rescission claim failed after the borrowers' uncertain testimony and disorganized documentary proof did not overcome the statutory presumption of delivery.
“bare allegations and haphazard documentary evidence of nonreceipt are sufficient to rebut the presumption”
Procedural preferences
A sanctions request under the bankruptcy rules must comply strictly with the rule's advance-notice safe harbor.
“The safe harbor provision must be strictly complied with in order for sanctions to be imposed under the amended Rule.”
Cautions
Settlement terms disclosed in open court are not ordinarily shielded merely because the parties prefer confidentiality.
“True public access to a proceeding means access to knowledge of what occurred there.”
