Signed rulings

A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.

Sachin Gupta v. Chad Melloh
19-2723 · 2021-12-06
Appeal (appellant (plaintiff Sachin Gupta)) Granted

“As these conflicting accounts make clear, there are material disputes of fact that make resolution of this case on summary judgment inappropriate. We therefore reverse and remand to the district court for the appropriate fact finder to determine which version of the facts might prevail.”

United States v. Christopher Barbee
21-1356 · 2022-02-11
Appeal (appellant (defendant Christopher Barbee)) Denied

“Given the current data and the availability of safe and effective vaccines, it could not. If circumstances change, Barbee is free to file a new motion. AFFIRMED.”

Yvonne Mack v. Resurgent Capital Services, L.P.
21-2792 · 2023-06-07
Appeal (appellant (plaintiff Yvonne Mack)) Granted

“But Mack adequately alleged an injury in fact, and supported her allegations with evidence that the defendants' violation of the statute caused her to suffer monetary damages, albeit of modest size. We therefore reverse and remand for further proceedings.”

United States v. Cory M. Freyermuth
22-2814 · 2023-08-07
Appeal (appellant (defendant Cory Freyermuth)) Denied

“Because the facts here support the judge's conclusion that a minor-role reduction was not warranted, we AFFIRM.”

United States v. Yarmell Austin
23-2196 · 2024-02-22
Appeal (appellant (defendant Yarmell Austin)) Moot / procedural

“Because the defendant has been released from custody without further supervision and faces no collateral consequences of the revocation of supervised release, this appeal is DISMISSED as moot.”

Citizens Insurance Company of America v. Mullins Food Products, Inc.
24-1524 · 2025-05-02
Appeal (appellant (defendant-appellant insured Mullins Food Products)) Granted in part

“We vacate and remand for further proceedings. We conclude that the Access or Disclosure Exclusion, found only in the 2016 and 2017 policies issued to Mullins, bars coverage for BIPA claims, but the Statutory Violation Exclusion, found in all three of the policies, does not.”

Frankie Nelson v. County of Cook
24-2123 · 2025-08-25
Appeal (appellant (plaintiff Frankie Nelson)) Denied

“Accordingly, the court applied the correct law and properly granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants. The decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.”

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Aerotek, Inc.
15-1690 · 2016-03-04
Appeal (appellant) Denied

“We therefore conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in ordering Aerotek to comply with the subpoena. The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.”

Joseph Ocol v. Chicago Teachers Union
20-1668 · 2020-12-09
Appeal (appellant) Denied

“For the foregoing reasons, we AFFIRM the district court’s grant of summary judgment.”

Debra Eaton v. J.H. Findorff & Son, Inc.
20-1731 · 2021-06-16
Appeal (appellant) Denied

“Because Eaton lacks any evidence that the decision-makers knew that she had engaged in protected activity, she has failed to raise a genuine issue of material fact in support of causation for her retaliation claim. The district court correctly granted summary judgment in favor of Findorff. AFFIRMED.”

John Gnutek v. Illinois Gaming Board
22-1213 · 2023-09-07
Appeal (appellant) Denied

“Therefore, the district court properly granted summary judgment for the defendants. The decision of the district court is AFFIRMED.”

Amra Schmitz v. Carolyn W. Colvin
23-3114 · 2024-12-17
Appeal (appellant) Denied

“The ALJ’s decision is supported by substantial evidence. We therefore AFFIRM the district court’s judgment.”
