How Judge Campbell decides

What persuades
When the parties jointly sought sentencing relief under Section 2255 after concerns arose about evidence handling, Campbell granted the stipulated motion.
“The court GRANTS the Stipulated Motion to Correct Sentence under 28 U.S.C. § 2255. (ECF No. 1.)”
Procedural preferences
A supported post-trial fee request may receive calibrated, partial relief rather than an all-or-nothing award.
“The Plaintiff's motion for attorneys' fees and other expenses (ECF No. 102) is GRANTED IN PART.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“WSU's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 114) is GRANTED; ... Because no reasonable jury could find that Ms. Knapp and Dr. Abel were appropriate persons under Title IX, Ms. Thomas is unable to prove an essential element of her claim.”

“Ms. Pomeroy's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 127) is DENIED.”
“The Utah Bar's motion for summary judgment (ECF No. 128) is GRANTED. ... The Utah Bar has not violated Ms. Pomeroy's free speech and association rights by engaging in activities with which she disagrees, and its refund procedures do not violate its members' free speech rights.”
“MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART DEFENDANTS' PARTIAL MOTION TO DISMISS ... The Plaintiffs' second claim for vicarious liability is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE ... fourth claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE ... The court denies the Defendants' motion to dismiss the Plaintiffs' ninth claim ... [and] the eleventh claim for municipal liability.”
“As a result, Rug Doctor's motion for summary judgment is DENIED.”
“The court also DENIES CleanCut's motion for summary judgment, as the motion relies entirely on the declaration of Curt Waisath, the inventor of CleanCut's patent.”
