Behavioral summary

In the cited rulings, Justice Masley required clear document references, checked parties’ earlier statements and calculations, and kept scheduled trials moving. She still allowed specific unfinished proof to be supplied.

These are patterns across the cited decisions, not findings about a disposition toward either side or about any litigant’s character.

Observed patterns

Each pattern is labelled by how many distinct cases show it and footnoted to the ruling. Where the record limits a pattern, the limit stays with it.

She needs specific documents and clear markings before deciding what stays private

Recurring across four matters

Justice Masley required the requested confidential material to be identified, marked, and justified. A large request or the parties’ agreement did not replace that document-by-document showing.

Preparation point

Identify each disputed passage, the requested redaction, and its reason.

How it played outSituation, action, outcome
The situation
The confidentiality request did not identify and explain the particular material.
What she did
Withheld unsupported protection and required a clear submission.
What made a difference
Shown competitive harm justified protection. Poor labels did not decide the underlying claims.
In her words2 quotes

“This court cannot consider this broad request lacking any specificity”

Beach v Touradji Capital Mgt., LP, printed p. 1 n 1. Responding to a sealing request that did not identify the material.

“‘Doshi Aff. Ex 1’ is useless.”

Besen v Doshi, printed p. 2 n 1. Her example of an unhelpful NYSCEF label.

In the cited cases4 rulings

Beach’s vague request involved 1,504 docket entries. DIRECTV’s missing or inconsistent highlighting had to be corrected.

Enterprise received protection for justified commercial information. In Besen, she separately required useful NYSCEF exhibit descriptions.

Late requests must account for earlier orders and the trial schedule

Recurring across four matters

When a request threatened trial preparation, Justice Masley checked earlier knowledge, orders, and opportunities. An old issue, new counsel, or late deposition offers did not erase that history.

Preparation point

Identify what is genuinely new and why a smaller correction cannot keep the trial on schedule.

How it played outSituation, action, outcome
The situation
A request would have reopened trial preparation after earlier orders and opportunities.
What she did
Used that history to keep the scheduled proceeding moving.
What made a difference
A specific remaining proof task received a final deadline.
In her words2 quotes

“The trial shall proceed as planned”

A-US GAL 1, L.P. v National Air Cargo Group, Inc., printed p. 6. She kept the trial scheduled after rejecting the proposed claims.

“While this court finds defendants’ delay tactics improper and potentially contemptuous, defendants may have 3 weeks”

MF1 2022-FL9 LLC v Haikins, printed p. 4. She allowed three final weeks for an appraisal. Liability remained decided.

In the cited cases4 rulings

Gerasimowicz’s seven undisclosed witnesses remained barred after repeated discovery orders. A-US GAL’s deficient new defenses did not delay its damages trial.

Beach’s asserted conflict did not justify counsel’s withdrawal or a trial delay after 15 years of joint representation.

She separates each document’s content and proposed use

Recurring across three matters

Justice Masley treated individual communications and uses separately.

How to read this profile

Judge AI reports what a judge said and did in cited decisions, and labels how far each observation reaches. It does not forecast outcomes, compute grant rates, or characterize temperament, motive, or bias, and a question from the bench is never reported as a ruling. It informs your judgment; it does not replace it.

How Judge AI is built
Observed conduct
A specific ruling, order, or statement in a cited decision.
Recurring across matters
The same narrow conduct in two or more distinct cited cases. Not a rate.
Repeated within one matter
Several instances inside one litigation. Never counted as corroboration.
Isolated
One cited ruling. Reported, never generalized into a trait.

Questions about this profile

Get the full profile

What does Justice Masley require on a sealing or confidentiality request?

In the cited rulings she required the confidential material to be identified, marked, and justified document by document. A large request or the parties’ agreement did not replace that showing, and shown competitive harm justified protection where it was established. The full profile adds how she separated each document’s content from its proposed use.

How has Justice Masley handled late requests close to trial?

She checked what the party already knew and what earlier orders had required, and kept the scheduled trial moving. In one case she still gave a specific remaining proof task a final deadline. These are decisions in particular cases, not a rule about every late request.

Can Judge AI predict how Justice Masley will rule?

No. Judge AI builds behavioral profiles from real opinions, oral argument transcripts, and docket records so you can see how a judge has responded to arguments like yours before. It informs your judgment; it does not replace it or forecast an outcome.
