Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The findings and recommendations filed March 19, 2009 (Doc. No. 196), are adopted in full; 2. Defendants' motion for summary judgment (Doc. No. 134) is granted; and 3. Defendants Dennis Von Ting, Carolyn Childers, Jason Trojanowski, Kenneth Jorgenson and Dan Smith are dismissed from this action.”
“For the reasons stated above, Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment (Docket No. 69) as to Plaintiff's claims in their entirety is DENIED. Summary adjudication is GRANTED, however, with respect to Plaintiff's sex discrimination and retaliation claims, his additional claimed instances of discrimination as alleged in paragraphs 11 and 13 of the Second Amended Complaint, and his claim that he was discriminated against by virtue of the 2006 cancelled lateral transfer. Summary adjudication is DENIED as to Plaintiff's claims that he was discriminated against due to his race in being passed over for transfer and/or promotional opportunities in 2006.”
“For the reasons set forth above, Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 120) and Motion to Strike (ECF No. 139) are DENIED.”
“Because Plaintiff's Complaint fails on jurisdictional grounds under Rule 12(b)(1), the Court need not address the additional arguments Defendant advances in favor of dismissal under Rule 12(b)(5), (6) and (7) and declines to do so. Moreover, because this Court does not believe the jurisdictional defects here can be resolved through amendment, no leave to amend will be permitted. Defendant's Motion to Dismiss (ECF No. 5) is therefore GRANTED, with prejudice.”
“For the foregoing reasons, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 1. Shamitoff's Motion to Dismiss Without Prejudice, ECF No. 33, is GRANTED, subject to the condition that Shamitoff pay Defendant's attorney's fees and costs in an amount to be determined by the Court;”
“For the reasons stated above, Third-Party Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Third-Party Complaint (ECF No. 173) is GRANTED in its entirety. Because the claims made in the Third-Party Complaint fail as a matter of law, the Court concludes that any further leave to amend would be futile. Therefore, the Third-Party Complaint (ECF No. 156) is dismissed, with no leave to amend.”
“Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 17) is DENIED.”
“Accordingly, the OSC is hereby DISCHARGED, and Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (ECF No. 29) is DENIED.”
“For the reasons stated above, Defendants' motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 58, is GRANTED and Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment, ECF No. 59, is DENIED. The Clerk of the Court is directed to enter judgment in Defendants' favor.”
“For the foregoing reasons, the Court DENIES Defendant's Motion to Stay (ECF No. 114) and GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification and Appointment of Class Representative and Counsel (ECF No. 54). The Court orders the following: 1. The Court certifies a Rule 23(b)(3) class and subclass below as to the economic damages claims set forth in the Second Amended Class Action Complaint (ECF No. 13) and will not certify any personal injury claims or damages.”
“For the foregoing reasons, the Court DENIES Defendant's Motion to Stay (ECF No. 114) and GRANTS Plaintiff's Motion for Class Certification and Appointment of Class Representative and Counsel (ECF No. 54).”
“Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff's SAC, ECF No. 70, is GRANTED without leave to amend as to the IIED claim and claims of Monell liability based on the County and SCSD's alleged records destruction policy; custom of inadequate training, supervision, and discipline; and ratification; but otherwise DENIED.”
“For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff's Motion to Remand, ECF No. 14, is DENIED, and Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 13, is GRANTED. Plaintiff's Second Cause of Action is DISMISSED without leave to amend. All remaining causes of action are DISMISSED with leave to amend.”
“For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff's Motion to Remand, ECF No. 14, is DENIED, and Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, ECF No. 13, is GRANTED.”
Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
Sampled docket reflects a general civil mix on the Sacramento (2:..) calendar: insurance/declaratory-relief, federal-question administrative (APA) review, employment and other civil rights, consumer-credit/FCRA, contract and product-distribution disputes, ADA website-access putative class actions, and consumer-finance class claims, alongside a large background of pro se prisoner, habeas, and forfeiture matters that produced screening/procedural terminations rather than contested motion rulings. Most counseled civil cases resolved by stipulated or voluntary dismissal or settlement after early motion practice.
