How Judge Du decides

Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.

What persuades

She applies arbitral immunity broadly, granting judgment for an arbitrator and his firm sued over conduct in the arbitration proceedings and dismissing such claims with prejudice.

“the Court finds that Defendants are immune from liability in this action. Accordingly, the Court will dismiss this action with prejudice.”

Procedural preferences

On dispositive motions turning on Nevada statutes she follows controlling Nevada Supreme Court precedent to resolve the question, granting dismissal where that precedent forecloses the claim.

“Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is granted.”

She disposes of multiple case-management motions efficiently in a single consolidated order rather than issuing separate rulings.

“Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike and Defendant's Motion to Stay are granted, and Plaintiffs' Motion to Supplement and Defendant's Motion to File Counterclaims are denied.”

Cautions

In Nevada HOA superpriority quiet-title disputes she grants the foreclosure-sale purchaser's summary judgment and denies the lender seeking to preserve its deed of trust.

“the Court denies BANA's motion for summary judgment, grants SFR's motion for summary judgment, and denies the HOA's motion for summary judgment as moot.”
