How Judge George decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
What persuades
George sustained a negligent-misrepresentation verdict where testimony tied the plaintiff's transfer decision to a statement that a check had cleared.
“Lombino introduced evidence that he authorized the wire transfer after Aberman misrepresented that the check had cleared.”
He rejected an innocent-infringer defense when repeated licensing notices were ignored or refused.
“Blueberry Hill cannot claim innocence after actively, though ineffectively, attempting to ignore BMI.”
He treated the written-notice language in the federal debt-collection statute as requiring precise compliance.
“demands highly technical compliance with the ‘in writing’ notification, as opposed to highly technical noncompliance.”
Procedural preferences
George required insured property owners to pursue their legal remedy against the title insurer before seeking equitable priority over the government.
“Before this court can consider whether Plaintiffs should be equitably placed into the senior position, they must first pursue their legal remedies against their insurer.”
On a paper record, he applied the prima-facie burden for contesting personal jurisdiction while still requiring affirmative forum-directed conduct.
“plaintiffs are required to make only a prima facie showing of the jurisdictional facts to prevail over Fox Five’s motion to dismiss.”
He treated the practical ability to obtain and process records identifying class members as material to certification.
“Given the extent of records that Bridge would be moving to compel Credit One to create and produce, and given that it is likely more than half of the created and produced records would concern non-members of the class, an issue exists whether Bridge would succeed on a motion to compel the records.”
Cautions
George declined to fill a missing ERISA earnings analysis with assumptions not supported by the administrative record.
“The administrative record, however, does not support that speculation.”
He granted judgment against a gross-negligence claim when the evidence did not show even a slight-care failure.
“Racine has not shown that PHW ‘fail[ed] to exercise even a slight degree of care.’”
He denied preliminary relief when dismissal of the underlying due-process claim eliminated a likelihood of success.
“As the court has dismissed that claim with prejudice, he cannot succeed in showing a likelihood of success on the merits.”
