How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• expressing “disfavor” about judge reconsidering another judge’s order, but addressing “the substantive issues of this appeal”
• reconsideration inappropriate where the additional evidence was not “newly discovered or previously unavailable evidence, and did not justify reexamination by a second judge”
• “[O]ne trial judge should not reconsider the decision of another in the absence of new circumstances.”
• “[O]ne trial judge should not reconsider the decision of another in the absence of new circumstances” because doing so “is wasteful of judicial resources and encourages ‘try again’ motion practice when a new judge gets a case.”
• tax authorities must be selective in using limited enforcement resources
