Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“For the reasons that follow, we grant her petition, vacate the BIA's order and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.”
“The district court found that the policy covered the loss, that the exclusions didn't apply, and Safeco acted in bad faith. We affirm.”
“Nelson has no claim against CHSWC that does not depend on abuse of the bankruptcy process. And that means Nelson has no good claims against CHSWC. AFFIRMED.”
“Because the injunction against this state court lawsuit does not qualify under an exception to the Anti-Injunction Act, we order the injunction vacated.”
“We therefore VACATE the district court's judgment, REMAND with instructions to DISMISS the federal claim as unripe, and AFFIRM its dismissal of Capeheart's supplemental claims.”
“This case requires us to consider whether the district court abused its discretion in denying Thomas Vitrano's motion to amend his 28 U.S.C. § 2255 petition. For the reasons that follow, we find no abuse of discretion and affirm.”
“Because the court applied a permissible test in evaluating the fee request, we affirm the judgment.”
“For the reasons that follow, we vacate the dismissal of the race discrimination claims, affirm the dismissal of the retaliation claims, and remand.”
“The district court dismissed his claim on the ground that § 1981 does not create a private right of action against state actors. We agree; therefore, we affirm.”
“We hold that Officer Rodriguez's conduct, even according to McDowell's depiction of the record, was not sufficiently egregious to qualify as a constitutional tort or to vitiate his state-law immunity.”
“The Board did not abuse its discretion in upholding the IJ's denial of Marinov's motion to reopen. We DENY the petition for review.”
“We thus conclude that the district court erred in ordering the City to indemnify Officer O'Brien's attorney's fees, and the two orders related to indemnification, to the extent that they hold the City responsible for attorney's fees, are REVERSED.”
