How Judge Marrero decides

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

What persuades

A reconsideration request must identify overlooked facts or controlling law that could change the prior result.

“The Court finds that the Trust Defendants have not presented any new facts or controlling law that the Court overlooked which might reasonably be expected to alter the Court’s Decision Order.”

Procedural preferences

He applies Rule 15's liberal amendment standard while testing for delay, bad faith, repeated pleading failures, prejudice, and futility.

“Prior to trial, leave to file an amended complaint ‘shall be freely given’ in the absence of factors such as ‘undue delay, bad faith, or dilatory motive on the part of the movant, repeated failure to cure deficiencies by amendments previously allowed, undue prejudice to the opposing party by virtue of allowance of the amendment, futility of amendment, etc.’”

Cautions

Challenges to a transferee court's ruling belong in that court or its appellate circuit, not through collateral reconsideration by the transferor court.

“The far more efficient, practicable, and proper course of action is for a party that believes a trans*366feree court made an improper ruling of law to address the dispute before the transferee court, or-appeal to that court’s appellate court.”
