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

Sonner v. Premier Nutrition Corp.
18-15890 · 2020-06-17
Appeal (appellant (plaintiff Kathleen Sonner)) Denied

“Regardless of whether California authorizes its courts to award equitable restitution under the UCL and CLRA when a plain, adequate, and complete remedy exists at law, we hold that federal courts rely on federal equitable principles before allowing equitable restitution in such circumstances. And because Sonner fails to demonstrate that she lacks an adequate legal remedy in this case, we affirm the district court's order dismissing her claims for restitution. AFFIRMED.”

18-15463 · 2020-06-19
Appeal (appellants (Screen Actors Guild-AFTRA and the California Attorney General, defendants)) Denied

“Here, we address content-based restrictions on speech and hold that AB 1687 is facially unconstitutional because it does not survive First Amendment scrutiny. We affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment. AFFIRMED.”

Balbuena v. Sullivan

Castillo v. Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
19-56093 · 2020-08-17
Appeal (appellant (plaintiff Juan Castillo)) Denied

“This appeal requires us to decide whether Section 502(a)(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), 29 U.S.C. Section 1132(a)(3), authorizes an award of attorney's fees incurred during the administrative phase of the ERISA claims process. We hold that Section 1132(a)(3) does not authorize an award of such fees and therefore affirm the judgment of the district court.”

Pauma Band of Luiseno Mission Indians v. State of California
18-56457 · 2020-09-02
Appeal (appellant (plaintiff Pauma Band of Luiseno Mission Indians)) Denied
