How Judge Wiles decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
A revised pleading should separate each remaining cause of action, state its elements distinctly, and remove duplicative theories so the issues and requested relief are clear.
“The amended pleading should clearly separate the remaining causes of action and separately plead the elements of each such claim and should also eliminate the duplication in the asserted claims, so that the parties and the Court will have a clear roadmap as to the issues that must be addressed and the relief that is being sought under each theory.”
Procedural preferences
A stay request must identify the ruling or action to be stayed and cannot revive grievances already resolved by final orders.
“The document did not specify any particular actions that Ms. Nestor wishes to stay.”
Cautions
A party remains responsible for confirming that every cited decision exists and that quoted language actually appears in the cited authority.
“Defendant is reminded that she is responsible for ensuring that any citations she presents to the Court should be to decisions that actually exist and that any quotations should be of text that actually appears in real court decisions/opinions/rulings/orders.”
