How Judge Greene decides
Patterns drawn from this judge's own signed orders. Every observation links to the order it came from.
Cautions
A failure to follow the treating-source framework could require remand even when the administrative decision offered other criticisms of the evidence.
“because the ALJ did not perform the required six-factor evaluation, any reasons she gave are not adequately supported.”
He declined to use an old institutional case as the vehicle for new individual grievances when a separate action was the proper route.
“the proper course of action was to seek relief in a separate lawsuit by aggrieved parties.”
He treated unrebutted testimony that a defendant understood and waived Miranda rights as important evidence against suppression.
“Nothing was presented to rebut Lynes’ testimony regarding defendant’s willingness to talk with him and defendant’s waiver of his Miranda rights.”
