Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Upon the plaintiff filing an injunction bond in the penal sum of $5000, with surety approved by the Clerk of the Court, a preliminary injunction should issue in accordance with the decree herewith filed.”
“The petition is denied.”
“The motion to dismiss is denied and plaintiff may proceed on its motion for a preliminary injunction.”
“The exceptions are for the present overruled without prejudice; the court not now determining the question of jurisdiction, but reserving the same for further ruling.”
“The objection to the libel that it avers merely the withdrawal of the authority of the master is not well taken.”
“This objection to the libel is well founded, but goes only to the condition of the required bond and not to the requirement of any bond.”
“The motion for summary judgment under Rule 56 is denied.”
“Motion dismissed.”
“The motions for a more definite statement and for a bill of particulars are denied.”
“The motion to strike is not the motion contemplated by Rule 12(f) and is denied.”
“Motion denied, with leave to enter such order as under the new Rules is appropriate.”
