How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a two-page order issued “[f]or the reasons expressed in the accompanying [18-page] written opinion” constituted a separate document
• holding that a self-contained order that succinctly disposed of all the relief requested and provided nothing else satisfied Rule 58
• requiring that a judgment “be a self-contained document, saying who has won and what relief has been awarded, but omitting the reasons for this disposition” (internal quotation marks omitted)
• noting, by way of qualification as to the third criterion, that some “courts of appeals have found that including a bit of analysis does not run afoul of the separate judgment requirement,” but reserving judgment on that issue
