Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Concluding that the explanation provided by the SEC was arbitrary and capricious and therefore unlawful, we REVERSE the district court's judgment, VACATE the 2022 rescission in part, and REMAND to the agency.”
“We hold that the Defendants lacked fair notice of the CFTC's unprecedented interpretation of this thirty-nine-year-old Rule. The judgment is REVERSED in part, the injunction VACATED in relevant part, and the case REMANDED.”
“We hold that 'effectuations' of final agency decisions, when sought to liquidate the amount of repayment owed, are reviewable under Sec. 405(g) as continuous aspects of the initial, properly exhausted, administrative decision. The district court's judgment of dismissal is REVERSED, and the case is REMANDED for proceedings consistent herewith.”
“The government has appealed, arguing that he had neither a protected property interest in video footage filmed by a third party nor a reasonable expectation of privacy therein. We agree with the government and therefore REVERSE the district court's contrary judgment.”
“The noteworthy holding here is that Louisiana law governs the burden of proof for the pilot's error. Accordingly, we AFFIRM in part, VACATE in part, and REMAND for a new trial as to the M/V STRANDJA and its owners and pilot Johnson.”
“He claims that the district court wrongly denied his request for a jury instruction about duress and inappropriately applied an enhancement to his sentence for obstruction of justice. Finding no such errors, we AFFIRM.”
“We find that the district court correctly struck Plaintiffs' class allegations and properly dismissed all but two of their claims. We thus AFFIRM in part, REVERSE in part, and REMAND this case to the district court.”
“The judgment is REVERSED and REMANDED for further proceedings consistent herewith.”
“The judgment of the district court is REVERSED, the case REMANDED for entry of DISMISSAL.”
“The judgments of the bankruptcy court and the district court denying discharge are AFFIRMED.”
