How Judge Reeves decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
In Cooley, Reeves treated qualification for the job as a necessary predicate to an actionable interactive-process claim.
“an employer’s failure to engage in the interactive process is actionable only if the employee can demonstrate that she was qualified for the position.”
Procedural preferences
In Kelley, Reeves declined interlocutory review shortly before trial because it would delay rather than advance final resolution.
“Trial in this case is merely days away. Allowing the original Order to be appealed before trial would significantly stall its termination, not advance it.”
Cautions
In Kent, Reeves treated undeveloped arguments as waived rather than constructing them for a party.
“Issues adverted to in a perfunctory manner, unaccompanied by some effort at developed argumentation, are deemed waived.”
