Ancer L. Haggerty
How Judge Haggerty decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
At summary judgment he views the facts and draws inferences most favorably to the non-movant and decides on the actual evidence -- granting for the defense where undisputed facts establish probable cause, denying where the record (e.g. video) shows a genuine dispute.
“On summary judgment, the court must view the facts and draw inferences in the manner most favorable to the non-moving party.”
Cautions
On Oregon intentional-infliction-of-emotional-distress claims he enforces the demanding 'socially intolerable conduct' threshold; rude or offensive but isolated remarks are not enough to survive summary judgment.
“one reference to plaintiff being called a "fucking bitch," and one incident of physical intimidation, though rude and unpleasant, fails to amount to socially intolerable behavior sufficient for establishing an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim.”
