How Judge Contie decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In the reviewed antitrust case, summary judgment followed where the plaintiff could not connect the challenged practice to injury in business or property.
“Rahal has not asserted any injury to his property that could constitute damages in this private antitrust action.”
Procedural preferences
The court denied disclosure of grand-jury material for an administrative tax investigation because the possible later judicial proceeding was too speculative to satisfy the governing rule.
“Accordingly, the Court hereby denies in full the ex parte motion of the United States Attorney for authorization to disclose grand jury materials to the I.R.S.”
Cautions
In the reviewed employment case, completion of the required administrative steps preserved the claimant's suit despite agency action or inaction outside the claimant's control.
“The Court will not deny him that right.”
Signed rulings
