How Judge Grubb decides

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

What persuades

Grubb required concrete evidence before disregarding separate corporate identities.

“There remains no issue of material fact as to the basis of liability of Alcoa.”

Procedural preferences

Grubb placed the burden of establishing a contested jurisdictional amount on the removing defendant.

“Defendant has failed to meet its burden of establishing the contested jurisdictional amount in this case.”

Cautions

Grubb treated others’ similar misconduct as irrelevant to whether the defendant committed the charged offense.

“The fact that other persons are immoral or sell obscene books, or that other persons in the community may be dishonest, negligent, or guilty of any fault which is in question on a trial, does not in the court’s opinion exonerate a defendant from similar charges.”
