How Judge Randon 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 he recommends granting the claimant's summary judgment and denying the Commissioner's where the ALJ's decision lacks substantial-evidence support.

“United States Magistrate Judge Mark A. Randon issued a report recommending Glenn's motion be granted and the Commissioner's motion be denied. He also recommended that the case be remanded ... Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 14, is GRANTED ... the case is REMANDED to the Commissioner for further proceedings.”

Procedural preferences

In prisoner civil-rights cases he recommends granting the defendants' summary judgment, and his report and recommendation is adopted by the district judge.

“Magistrate Judge Mark A. Randon's Report and Recommendation dated November 4, 2010, is hereby accepted and adopted. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED Defendants' Second Motion for Summary Judgment be GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff's Complaint is DISMISSED in its entirety.”

Cautions

Where substantial evidence supports the ALJ he recommends denying the claimant's motion and granting the Commissioner's, affirming the benefits decision.

“Defendant's motion for summary judgment (Dkt. 14) is GRANTED ... the findings of the Commissioner are AFFIRMED.”
