Roberts v. Ross
United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit
344 F.2d 747 (1965)
- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Herbert Roberts (plaintiff) brought suit against Norman Ross (defendant) to recover money Roberts alleged that Ross owed him for work done as Ross’s realtor. The District Court of the Virgin Islands found in favor of Ross and, rather than drafting an opinion, ordered Ross’s counsel to file proposed findings of fact, conclusions of law, and draft of judgment. The judge then signed, without altering, the draft of judgment, adopting it as his opinion. Roberts appealed.
