How Judge Streepy decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Streepy found coworker remarks insufficient to establish pretext where no decision maker made the comments.
“Plaintiffs contention he was subject to discriminatory comments from fellow employees, see Spells dep. at 107-09, 114, does not establish pretext because the comments were not made by any decision maker.”
In enforcing a labor-arbitration award, Streepy found no triable issue under the narrow standard governing review of an arbitrator's decision.
“Courtad has not established a genuine issue of material fact under the standard for reviewing an arbitration decision”
Streepy treated the employee's state-law contract-interference theory as preempted because resolving it required interpreting collective-bargaining agreements.
“The RLA preempts a state cause of action unless it involves rights and obligations that exist independent of the CBA.”
Procedural preferences
Streepy required a summary-judgment opponent to identify evidence beyond the allegations in the pleadings.
“Non-moving parties may rest neither upon the mere allegations of their pleadings nor upon general allegations that issues of fact may exist.”
Streepy rejected a continuing-violation theory as a way to extend the limitations period for the hybrid labor claims.
“The fact that the union (in Bloedow's view) continued to breach its duty of fair representation after that date, does not extend the limitations period on a continuing violation theory.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Summary judgment shall be entered in favor of defendant.”
“the motion of Local 33 for summary judgment is granted.”
“Accordingly, attorney fees shall be ordered.”
“It is recommended that the two motions for summary judgment be granted.”
Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
Twenty assigned matters were enumerated. Five terminated civil matters were sampled across labor, disability-benefits, employment, and one uncategorized case. Their durations ranged from 897 to 2,815 days, with a median of 1,352 days; every sampled entry stream was empty, so no docket motion or timing claim is made.
