Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“For the reasons stated above, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss (R. 4) is hereby GRANTED. Accordingly, the case is dismissed without prejudice.”
“For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff's Motion for summary judgment with respect to Defendant APN's counterclaim (R. 36) is GRANTED and that claim is dismissed.”
“The alternative theory in Plaintiff's Motion, for judgment on the pleadings, (R. 36) is DENIED as moot.”
“Defendant's Motion to Dismiss (R. 11) is hereby GRANTED in part and DENIED in part for the foregoing reasons. Specifically, the Court dismisses the negligence per se claims brought in Count Four. The Motion to Dismiss is denied with respect to the remaining counts.”
“Defendants' motion for summary judgment, (R. 42), is GRANTED as to Plaintiff's remaining claims.”
“Therefore, Defendant's Motion to Dismiss (R. 12) is GRANTED, for the reasons stated above and in Defendant's unopposed Motion, and this action is dismissed pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b).”
“Accordingly, this action is dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1915(e). The Court certifies, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that an appeal from this decision could not be taken in good faith.”
“There is no purpose in appointing counsel to represent Plaintiff in this case because, as stated above, this Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to entertain this case, and it is barred by res judicata... Therefore, Plaintiff's Motion for Appointment of Counsel is denied.”
“For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff's Motion to Amend Complaint and Joinder of Additional Defendants (R. 15) is DENIED, as the amendment would be futile and contrary to ‘the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of this action.’”
“The Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation (R. 22) is hereby ADOPTED and Defendant's motion for summary judgment (R. 17) is GRANTED. Consequently, this action is dismissed in its entirety.”
“Plaintiff's Motion for Preliminary Injunction (R. 2) is GRANTED. On January 27, 2023, or on such other date if the parties expressly agree to a different date, Defendant shall make available the ‘transfer die for CBAM B1-1213/1253 with check fixture’ during regular business hours to Plaintiff or its agents.”
“Since the Court grants a preliminary injunction, it need not issue a Temporary Restraining Order. Therefore, Plaintiff's request for a Temporary Restraining Order is denied as moot.”
“Accordingly, this Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241 is denied and this action is dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2243.”
“Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (R. 10) is granted and this action is DISMISSED.”
“The Court, having reviewed the record and considered Petitioner’s Objections to the R&R, agrees with and adopts the R&R (R. 119). The R&R is accepted, Petitioner’s Objections are overruled, and the petition is DISMISSED for the reasons stated therein.”
