Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Because the Shelley decision effectively overrules our Lancaster decision on the issue of absolute immunity for Alabama jailers facing state law claims, Officer Quezada's motion to dismiss on that ground was properly denied. AFFIRMED.”
“For these reasons, we conclude that because Kozak transports property only as an ancillary service to the transportation of passengers he is not a "[m]otor carrier of property" under Section 14501(c). ... The district court correctly granted summary judgment to the Commission. AFFIRMED.”
“The judgment of the district court is REVERSED, and the case is REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
“This appeal is DISMISSED for lack of jurisdiction.”
“Any crime that is an ACCA violent felony is also a Section 2L1.2(b)(1)(C) aggravated felony; the Florida crime of simple vehicle flight is an ACCA violent felony; therefore, that crime is also a Section 2L1.2(b)(1)(C) aggravated felony. AFFIRMED.”
