How Judge White decides

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

What persuades

Faced with a defendant's invitation to revisit a prior ruling of his own, the judge engaged with the request on the merits rather than treating it as settled, before reaffirming the original result.

“The court has revisited its ruling in Ross and finds that the Defendant's motion must be denied.”

Procedural preferences

On a multi-defendant summary-judgment order, the judge worked through each defendant and each cause of action separately rather than resolving the motions as a block, dismissing legally deficient claims (like fraud without evidence of concealment) while preserving contract and tort theories that turned on factual disputes.

“As there are genuine issues of material fact aplenty, the motion is denied.”
