How Judge Solis decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
He applied the liberal amendment standard when discovery supplied a timely factual basis and the opposing side did not show futility or unfair prejudice.
“Absent one of those factors, the Court should grant leave to amend.”
He accepted plausible factual inferences drawn from ordinary workplace technology when evaluating a computer-access claim.
“experience and common sense suggest that Gresham’s workplace computer was connected to the internet.”
He preserved ordinary contract claims even when federal transportation law preempted related negligence theories.
“49 U.S.C. § 14501 preempts all state law claims except for ordinary breach of contract claims.”
Procedural preferences
He confined remand analysis to the allegations actually pleaded and would not treat new assertions in motion papers as part of the complaint.
“The Court cannot accept assertions in their motion as part of the allegations.”
He enforced the binding choice between a negotiated grievance process and a statutory discrimination procedure.
