How Judge Borman decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
On cross-motions in Social Security appeals, adopts the magistrate's recommendation and affirms the Commissioner under sentence four where the decision is supported.
“GRANTS Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 15), and AFFIRMS the findings of the Commissioner.”
Procedural preferences
On summary judgment in civil-rights suits, grants defense judgment on the federal claims with prejudice and then declines supplemental jurisdiction over the state-law claims, dismissing them without prejudice.
“ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART, with Plaintiff's federal claims DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE, and Plaintiff's state law claims DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.”
Cautions
Treats reconsideration as an extraordinary remedy, denying it where the movant merely disagrees with an earlier ruling and raises no new facts or argument.
“For those reasons, the Court DENIES Defendants' Motion for Reconsideration. (ECF No. 42.)”
