How Judge Mazer-Marino decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
A request for stay relief became moot after the court dismissed the case and terminated the stay.
“Movant’s request for relief is moot because the Court already dismissed this case, terminating the automatic stay.”
Cautions
Equitable relief was unavailable against lenders where the record did not show actual notice of, or active participation in, the alleged fraud.
“Plaintiff has failed to introduce evidence that the Planet Defendants or the Wilmington Defendants had actual notice of the alleged fraud or that they actively participated in the fraud.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Plaintiff’s motion for summary judgment is denied to the extent Plaintiff requested judgment against the Planet Defendants and the Wilmington Defendants”
“The Planet Defendants’ and the Wilmington Defendants’ motions for summary judgment are granted and those causes of action are dismissed as to the Planet Defendants and the Wilmington Defendants.”
