How Judge White decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
White found the administrative analysis inadequate where the decision acknowledged obesity but did not explain its effect at the relevant steps.
“the ALJ’s opinion omits any discussion of Norman’s obesity at step two of his analysis despite [the ALJ’s] clear belief that Norman was 'obese.'”
White found that apparent-authority theories remained for trial where the customer lacked notice of agreements disclaiming agency.
“factual issues remain whether SAP could be found liable through a theory of apparent agency or agency by estoppel.”
Procedural preferences
White required more than bare legal conclusions to sustain a claim at the pleadings stage.
“such bare legal conclusions are not enough to survive a motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6).”
White used conditional habeas relief where only one of multiple grounds justified resentencing.
“the undersigned recommends that petitioner’s sentence be vacated, and that his release be ordered unless the State of Ohio resentences him within ninety (90) days”
