Do you have an example of this?

Generally speaking, an attorney can make a request for a ruling by the judge and the other side can oppose it. However, beyond just citing relevant case law there wouldn't be anything that could be copied verbatim by a judge.

There should be relevant court filings that show what you are saying happen. Do you have them?



Here's one:

Go to https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/71191591/abrego-garcia-... and search "proposed order." You will find like 20+ of them, they are basically complete orders where they wrote the judge name and everything, just left the signature blank.


I see the proposed orders, but when I try to find the judge's order exactly copying the proposed order I'm not seeing it. I could be blind.

For example, here's the proposed order to strike [1], and here is the Judge's order granting that strike [2]

It's definitely ignorance on my part. I didn't realize the motions filed by a party ultimately took the form of unsigned orders.

You'll have to sift through them because it happens some of the time not all of the time. The example I gave was how they did it, if you wanted a 1:1 example in that case of the judge just signing off verbatim below ought to fit:

and

look identical to me, and if not damn near it.
