Roger Joseph Kiley
Judge Kiley no longer hears cases. This profile is preserved as a historical record of how they ruled.
How Judge Kiley decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Procedural preferences
Kiley required a probationer to receive an opportunity to confront the alleged violation and be heard before revocation.
“Here Panzeca was denied that opportunity.”
He allowed amendment where the plaintiff alleged conduct outside a prosecutor's official authority or duty.
“when he is properly alleged to be guilty of conduct of a character not in the field of his prosecutorial authority or duty, the pleading against him may not be dismissed”
Cautions
He declined to disturb discretionary case-management rulings without a concrete showing of prejudice.
“we hold that there was no reversible error in the absence of a showing of prejudice.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Affirmed in part and reversed in part and remanded.”
“The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded with direction to grant Holton leave to file the second amended complaint and for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
“Reversed and remanded with directions.”
“For the foregoing reasons the judgment of the district court is affirmed.”
“The revocation judgment and sentence are vacated and the cause remanded for further proceedings.”
