Judges Who Judge Poorly

NYS Judge, Supreme Court Kings County:

Plaintiff moves for Summary Judgment on an Account Stated.  Defendant opposes motion on the merits.  Parties submit voluminous papers including exhibits and brief claims and defenses with case citations and legal analysis.

Judge Rules in Plaintiff’s Favor;  the trial court granted summary judgment on plaintiff’s claim that an account stated existed between the parties.  The Judge granting summary judgment simply stated in the court’s decision “Motion Granted,” without explaining his findings or reasoning.

This Judge gets an “F” because he never addresses his findings or reasoning in granting summary judgment.
