“The Court DENIES Plaintiff's motion for partial summary judgment regarding whether Allied World breached its contract in denying coverage to Plaintiff because there remain disputed issues of material fact as to whether Allied World's obligations were ever triggered by a ‘suit.’”

“Plaintiff has not identified any immediate injury. ... plaintiff's request for injunctive relief is moot in light of the fact that he has been released from jail custody”

“The stay is denied but plaintiff may seek an extension if he requires one for a particular filing.”

“The petition is therefore DISMISSED with prejudice as time barred. The Clerk shall enter judgment in favor of respondent and against petitioner and close the case.”

“The petition is therefore DISMISSED without prejudice.1 ... Accordingly, a certificate of appealability is DENIED.”

“this federal habeas petition is DISMISSED for failure to exhaust state court remedies as required by 28 U.S.C. § 2254(b).”

“For these reasons, the Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART the motion to stay discovery pending resolution of the motion to dismiss. Discovery will commence on the date the ruling on the pending motion to dismiss is issued.”

Pro se Section 1983 civil-rights complaint by a county-jail prisoner over a 2018 incident. Thompson first dismissed the complaint with leave to amend so the plaintiff could explain the timeliness of his claim. When the amendment deadline passed without a filing, she dismissed the case with prejudice sua sponte for failure to state a claim and warned that it would count as a strike under 28 U.S.C. 1915(g). Quote: The complaint is therefore DISMISSED with prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. The Clerk shall terminate all pending motions, enter judgment for the defendant, and close the file.

Pro se Section 1983 complaint by a California state prisoner. After an earlier dismissal with leave to file a first amended complaint, the plaintiff missed the deadline and sought no extension, so Thompson dismissed the case without prejudice sua sponte and closed the file.

Pro se in forma pauperis complaint by a federal prisoner against Google over search-result thumbnail images that led to his prosecution, framed as a Section 1983 claim plus state-law negligence. On sua sponte Section 1915 screening, Thompson held that there was no state action to support a Section 1983 claim, no private right of action under the Communications Decency Act or federal criminal statutes, no viable negligence claim, and that Section 230 independently barred the claims. Quote: For the foregoing reasons, the case is dismissed for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted. The Clerk shall terminate any pending motions, enter judgment, and close the file.

“Because the Court dismisses this claim as deficient under 28 U.S.C. § 1915, the Court DENIES Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order, ECF 1.”

Pro se Section 1983 order of service by a civil detainee alleging excessive force and failure to intervene at Salinas Valley State Prison. On Section 1915A screening, Thompson found a cognizable Fourteenth Amendment claim against the alleged force-user and two non-intervening defendants and ordered the complaint served. She separately dismissed the plaintiff's injunctive-relief claims sua sponte as moot because he had transferred to a different facility. Quote: Plaintiff's claims for injunctive relief are DISMISSED.
