Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Because the district court applied the correct legal standard and did not clearly err in finding Graves is a non-indigent person under 18 U.S.C. Section 3014, the district court's judgment is AFFIRMED.”
“For these reasons, we hold pro se attorneys are ineligible for fee awards under FOIA. The judgments are AFFIRMED.”
“For the reasons we have explained, we REVERSE in part, VACATE in part, and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
“They have not identified a controlling precedent that 'squarely governs' the specific facts at issue. ... The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.”
“BP contested that determination because West 'lost' nothing... We reverse.”
“He filed a petition for review asking us to revisit it instead. We deny the petition.”
“He now asks us to review the government's decision and to vacate the removal order. We deny the petition.”
“The district court did not err by denying the Hoyts' motions for remand but did err by granting Lane's motion for summary judgment. The judgment is AFFIRMED in part, VACATED in part, and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
“The district court's orders are inconsistent with our mandate in the Policy 495 Decision.”
“Notwithstanding the parties' agreement, we have an independent obligation to assess our own jurisdiction... We remand to allow the district court to consider additional evidence regarding jurisdiction.”
