Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Given the state courts' reasonable findings of fact and the absence of clearly established Supreme Court precedent that compels relief for Dassey, the district court's grant of habeas relief is REVERSED. The case is REMANDED to the district court with instructions to dismiss the petition.”
“The judgment of the district court is REVERSED and the case is REMANDED to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
“We VACATE the judgment and REMAND for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. The state-law claims, which are based on the same facts as the due process claim, are reinstated as well.”
“The district court did not abuse its discretion in declining to make further efforts. ... Because he conducted an 'individualized and practical inquiry' into Austin's ability to litigate his case ... he did not abuse his discretion. AFFIRMED.”
“We affirm. The Dernises failed to timely exhaust their administrative remedies for most of their claims, and their only timely claim is barred under the FTCA's intentional torts exception.”
“The judgment of the district court is REVERSED and the case is REMANDED to the district court for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
“We agree and, on that basis, affirm the denial of Wilson's petition on the merits.”
