How Judge Furse decides

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

Procedural preferences

In Holiday Village Apartments, Judge Furse recommended remand because the complaint presented no federal question, while recommending denial of the request for removal-related fees.

“recommending that this court grant Holiday Village's Motion but deny its request for attorney's fees ... Judge Furse concluded that neither the original Complaint nor the Amended Complaint provided a basis for federal question jurisdiction.”

In D’Addabbo, Judge Furse recommended granting the federal defendants' motion to dismiss without prejudice and allowing the plaintiff to amend his complaint.

“without prejudice. Further, the undersigned RECOMMENDS the District Judge GRANT”

Cautions

In Malmstrom, the recommendation led to dismissal without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.

“dismissed without prejudice for lack of subject matter jurisdiction”
