How Judge Templar decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Templar treated strict construction of published tariffs as necessary to protect the public interest.
“The* public interest demands that tariffs be strictly construed.”
He preserved a minor’s personal-injury claim under Kansas tolling law despite the ordinary limitations period.
“her cause of action was not barred by the Statute of Limitations”
Procedural preferences
He required parties to answer relevant discovery over objections and allowed a defined period for compliance.
“Defendant will be granted fifteen days’ time to respond to the request and to the interrogatories”
He declined to dismiss at the pleading stage when asserted government inducement remained factually disputed.
“At this stage of the proceedings the charges that defendant was misled by government agents are sharply denied by the government and cannot justify the sustaining of a motion to dismiss.”
Cautions
He rejected conclusory constitutional allegations unsupported by pleaded facts.
“These allegations are bald conclusions unsupported by allegations of facts, and are legally insufficient and may be denied without a hearing.”
He treated the exhaustion of available military remedies as a prerequisite to habeas relief.
“since he has not exhausted his remedies within the military court system, petitioner’s application must be denied.”
