How Judge Wyche decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In McClain, Wyche evaluated disability in practical rather than abstract terms, considering whether the claimant had a realistic employment opportunity given his full circumstances.
“It is not enough to show a mere theoretical ability to engage in substantial gainful activity. It must be shown that there is a reasonable opportunity for him to engage in such activity.”
Procedural preferences
In Burgess, Wyche weighed the equities of voluntary dismissal and imposed payment of costs as the condition for dismissing without prejudice.
“After weighing the equities it seems fairest, under all the circumstances, to grant the motion to dismiss, without prejudice, but the plaintiff must pay the costs in this action”
Cautions
In Atlantic Tobacco, Wyche required a party dealing with the federal government to establish the contracting official's actual authority.
“Plaintiff cannot rely on a course of conduct to establish authority in Eldred Edward Morris to bind defendant.”
