Anthony P. Patti
How Judge Patti decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Social Security appeals, recommends remand where the ALJ selectively read the medical evidence, granting the claimant's summary-judgment motion.
“proposing that the court grant Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment... Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 10) is GRANTED”
Procedural preferences
Enforces scheduling-order deadlines: a dispositive motion filed after the deadline without Rule 16 good cause is recommended for denial as untimely.
“The Court should DENY Plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings. (ECF No. 119.)”
Cautions
Recommends enforcing settlement agreements and imposing sanctions and fees where a party defaults on the agreed terms.
“the motion to enforce settlement agreement, impose sanctions and award attorney fees filed by Sonya Timmon (R. 17) is GRANTED”
