What persuades
At summary judgment, treats a furnisher's investigation as unreasonable when undisputed internal records expose the reporting error and the furnisher's own witness acknowledges it should have been corrected.
“Rather than performing a minimally reasonable investigation, Planet Home appears to have ‘rubber stamped’ the disputes as ‘accurate as date reported.’”
At the pleading stage, leaves technically and factually disputed website-tracking questions for a developed record when the complaint plausibly alleges interception of substantive health-related communications.
“At this stage, the Court declines to resolve the factual questions concerning the precise operation of the tracking technologies, the timing and manner of any interception, and the ultimate scope of the information disclosed.”
Cautions
Emergency injunctive relief must concern the same claims as the operative complaint; collateral prison-administration and sentence-credit disputes require their own proper procedural vehicle.
“A district court should not issue an injunction when the injunction in question is not of the same character, and deals with a matter lying wholly outside the issues in the suit.”
Florida medical-negligence claims under the FTCA remain subject to state presuit prerequisites, including the required corroborating expert opinion.
“Because Mr. Wilkins did not fully comply with Florida’s pre-suit notice requirements for medical negligence claims, the Defendant is entitled to dismissal of the medical negligence claim.”
Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“The Court hereby GRANTS in part BSI's Motion to Dismiss. ... Plaintiff's Second Amended Complaint is DISMISSED with leave to amend. ... In the absence of timely amendment, dismissal will be with prejudice without any further action of the Court.”
“The Court GRANTS Plaintiff's motion. Dkt. 5. The matter is remanded to the Circuit Court in and for Hillsborough County, Florida. The clerk is directed to terminate any pending motions and close the file.”
“The Court GRANTS Plaintiffs' motion for partial summary judgment, GRANTS the Sheriff's motion, and GRANTS and DENIES in part the Town's motion.”
In this bankruptcy appeal, Judge Jung affirmed the ruling that the debtors' 2001 income-tax liability was nondischargeable under 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(1)(C). He held that excessive discretionary spending instead of paying taxes can satisfy the evasive-conduct element and that the statute does not permit partial discharge.
“After hearing argument of counsel, and after careful consideration and review of the submissions of the parties and the entire file, the Court grants summary judgment.”
“Based on the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff's motion for relief from judgment (Dkt. 76) is DENIED.”
“Upon careful consideration, the Court grants Seminole's Motion.”
“ENDORSED ORDER denying 57 Motion to Dismiss. The amended complaint withstands the low bar of notice pleading. The allegations are facially plausible and collectively ‘raise a right to relief above the speculative level.’”
“Plaintiff's amended complaint (Dkt. 22) is dismissed with prejudice.”
“ORDER denying 1 & 5 Motion to Vacate / Set Aside / Correct Sentence (2255). A certificate of appealability and leave to appeal in forma pauperis is denied.”
“ORDER denying 1 Motion to Vacate / Set Aside / Correct Sentence (2255). No certificate of appealability is appropriate.”
“Based on the standard for dismissal, Defendant's motion must be denied.”
Caseload & timing
From public federal docket records for this judge.
The reviewed matters include a substantial Tampa criminal and False Claims Act caseload, plus recent consumer-credit, healthcare-privacy, and prisoner-tort disputes. Sealed qui tam intervention periods make many older cases poor timing measures, while the three newer matching streams provide five contested motion intervals. This is descriptive context rather than a caseload-wide rate.
