How Judge Adams decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A narrowly tailored request for early discovery can establish good cause when it seeks only identifying information from an internet service provider and preserves the distinction between an account holder and the alleged infringer.
“No other information shall be sought.”
A proposed FLSA settlement is persuasive when it resolves a genuine wage dispute, provides a fair recovery, and avoids terms such as restrictive confidentiality or an overbroad release.
“the Settlement Agreement and Release represents a fair and reasonable resolution of a bona fide dispute that does not frustrate the purposes of the FLSA”
