Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Thus, we dismiss the appeal. Had we jurisdiction over this case, we would have dismissed it in its entirety. ... Appeal dismissed.”
“For the foregoing reasons, we vacate the sentence of the district court and remand for resentencing. Vacated and Remanded.”
“In light of the Supreme Court's unequivocal conclusion that § 633a includes a cause of action for retaliation, and the continued viability of our holding on sovereign immunity, we vacate the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the USPS and Potter. We also vacate Part 11(B) of our opinion, 476 F.3d at 57-60, and remand the case to the district court for further proceedings consistent with the opinion of the Supreme Court and Part 11(A) of our opinion. Reversed and remanded.”
“For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court's judgment and denial of new trial. Affirmed.”
“For the reasons stated above, Thompson's petition for review is Denied.”
“We dismiss this petition for lack of jurisdiction.”
“The decision of the district court is affirmed. Affirmed.”
“For the reasons stated, we affirm Vazquez's sentence. Affirmed.”
“Because Mr. Brenner did not become a party below and we find no equitable reason to allow this appeal, our only role in this case is to memorialize the fact that because Mr. Brenner is not a member to this action he lacks standing to appeal. We therefore dismiss for lack of jurisdiction. Dismissed.”
“Like the district court before us, we also recognize that Doe's complaint contains very serious allegations of sexual assault on a university's campus. However, because Doe's complaint failed to allege sufficient facts for a plausible Title IX claim against Brown, we affirm the judgment of the district court. Affirmed.”
“Because Caballero-Vazquez's procedural and substantive challenges to his sentences fail, we affirm both sentences.”
“For the foregoing reasons, Gierbolini's sentence is affirmed. Affirmed.”
