How Judge Julian decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
Julian denied preliminary relief when the moving party did not identify irreparable harm to the organization or the affected employees.
“The plaintiff failed to show that denial of a preliminary injunction would in any way subject the Brotherhood or any of its members to irreparable damage.”
Julian granted restitution when retaining the purchase price for nonexistent property would unjustly enrich the government.
“To hold otherwise would be to permit the government to be unjustly enriched at the expense of the plaintiff.”
Procedural preferences
Julian favored resolving an entire controversy in one proceeding when parallel declaratory litigation would multiply factual and legal disputes.
“Litigation should not be needlessly multiplied.”
Julian required the government to justify a warrantless seizure and placed the burden on it when the defendant moved to suppress.
“On a motion to suppress evidence seized without a valid search warrant, the burden is on the government to show that the seizure was supportable”
Cautions
Julian dismissed a federal claim that fell below the jurisdictional amount while expressly preserving any remedy available in the proper forum.
“The dismissal, however, is without prejudice to plaintiff’s right, if any he has, to assert his claim under the Tucker Act”
Julian treated an obvious condition as insufficient for premises liability without evidence of negligence or a duty to warn.
“A mere showing of slipperiness without more is insufficient to sustain the plaintiff’s claim.”
