How Judge West decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
He denied summary judgment when factual disputes remained over the relevance of material sought by an agency.
“The Court also finds that genuine issues of material fact are present with respect to TK-7’s relevancy objection, which issues preclude summary judgment in favor of FTC.”
Cautions
He limited a common-fund fee request to work that actually contributed to creating the fund.
“limited to those efforts which contributed to creation of the fund, the award of fees in this case is limited to the time expended in collecting the amount due under the promissory note, both principal and interest.”
