How Judge Humphrey decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Later-produced original-note documentation carried the claimant's ultimate burden to establish standing.
“However, through the belated stipulation concerning the Note and the Allonge, Bank of New York Mellon has met its ultimate burden of persuasion to establish standing as the real party in interest.”
Procedural preferences
A request to pause an adversary case required concrete irreparable harm, not a speculative jurisdictional concern.
“The Movants will not suffer irreparable harm if this court denies the requested stay.”
Cautions
A denied plan received a fixed amendment period followed by dismissal if no amendment was filed.
“In the event an amended plan is not filed with that forty-five (45) day period, the case will be dismissed.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Decision Granting Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Counts 1 and 3 of the Amended Complaint”

“The motion of the Equitable Subordination Defendants to Dismiss Count 13 is denied.”
“The motions of the Preference Defendants to dismiss Count 14 are granted without prejudice.”
“The motions to dismiss Count 15 are also granted without prejudice as relates to recovery of attorney fees under the core claims, Counts 13 and 14.”

“the court grants JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A.’s Motion to Dismiss”
The opinion entered judgment after trial on fraudulent-transfer claims rather than deciding a party motion.
“Motion of Certain Defendants for Limited Stay Pending a Decision by the District Court on their Motion to Partially Withdraw the Reference to the Bankruptcy Court (Doc. 146) is denied.”
“the court grants Wells Fargo’s Motion to Dismiss.”
The court held that a statutory means-test exemption did not bar a totality-of-circumstances motion, but did not decide the pending dismissal motion.
