Anna J. Brown
How Judge Brown decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Cautions
Grants summary judgment or dismissal where a federal statute supplies no private right of action or does not apply to the contracts at issue (e.g. ELIHPA, the interstate probation compact), dismissing the federal claims with prejudice and remanding pendent state claims.
“the Court GRANTS Federal Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (#82) and GRANTS DBSI and Northwest Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (#70). The Court DISMISSES with prejudice Plaintiffs' First, Second, and Third Claims and REMANDS Plaintiffs' remaining state-law claims to state court.”
Dismisses claims against a U.S. parent for a separately-incorporated, financially-insulated foreign subsidiary's conduct where the plaintiff fails to allege facts supporting parent liability under Oregon law, offering to convert to summary judgment before dismissing with prejudice.
“For these reasons, the Court GRANTS Defendant's Motion to Dismiss (#5) and DISMISSES this matter with prejudice.”

Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
The 2014-2016 case sample predates Brown's senior status and includes post-conviction petitions, prisoner civil-rights matters, medical malpractice, consumer-credit, employment civil-rights, and criminal cases. Several self-represented prisoner filings ended within weeks after judicial screening. Reported durations measure the life of each case, not the time taken to decide a motion.
