How Judge Wolfe decides

Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.

What persuades

In the first available revocation order, a complete waiver of objections and a record disclosing no plain error supported prompt adoption of the magistrate judge's recommendation.

“The court, having reviewed the entire record and finding no plain error, accepts and adopts the report and recommendation filed in this cause.”

Procedural preferences

His earliest published criminal orders accept unopposed magistrate-judge recommendations after expressly reviewing the file, allowing guilty pleas and revocation matters to proceed without duplicative district-court hearings where appearance or objections were waived.

“noting no opposition by defendant (1) Jacob Stephens to the Report and Recommendation, the Court enters the following order”
