How Judge Rozzoni decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
On qualified-immunity summary judgment she resolves the legal question on the briefs and, where the officers prevail, recommends dismissal with prejudice and treats pending damages-amendment motions as mooted.
“Because defendants have qualified immunity, I recommend the Court GRANT the Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 40) and DENY the Plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. 45).”
Motion outcomes
Counted from classified signed orders only. Percentages are shown only where the sample is large enough to be meaningful; smaller samples are reported as raw counts.
| Summary judgment N = 2 |
Granted: 1Denied: 1 | counts only |
| Motion to approve settlement N = 1 |
Granted: 1 | counts only |
A "1 of 1" is one ruling, not a tendency. Treat small samples as illustrative, not predictive.
