Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Accordingly, the defendants’ motion to dismiss is GRANTED.”
“it is hereby ordered that defendants’ motions to amend the Order of February 4, 1970, to stay these proceedings, and to certify the Order of February 4, 1970, pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. § 1292, are in each and every respect denied.”
“I shall grant the motion to quash the subpoena and grant the protective order;”
“Its petition for removal will be denied, and plaintiff’s motion for remand to the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania will be granted.”
“Accordingly, for all the above reasons, the Petition to Alter or Modify the Trustees’ Plan by substituting therefore the Debtor’s Plan (Docket No. 275) is denied.”
“Defendant’s motion to dismiss must therefore be denied.”
“Defendant’s motion for a transfer of venue must be denied.”
“Therefore, it is hereby ordered that plaintiff’s petition to proceed in forma pauperis is denied and that his complaint is dismissed.”
In a court-initiated disposition, Higginbotham found no constitutional claim in a challenge to a revised welfare-payment schedule: “the complaint is dismissed with prejudice for not stating a cause of action.”
“Accordingly, I deny Mr. Kalodner’s two latest amendments (Docket Nos. 263, 265) also as a matter of sound judicial discretion.”
“Hence, defendants’ motion for a transfer to the District of Massachusetts is Denied.”
“his petition for leave to proceed in forma pauperis is hereby denied.”
“summary judgment on behalf of the United States of America and against plaintiff is granted as to all that occurred while plaintiff was in the United States Army — the misreading of the x-ray and the consequent aggravation of his tubercular condition.”
“As to any alleged negligence in connection with the care and treatment plaintiff received from the Veterans Administration, plaintiff is granted twenty (20) days to amend his pleadings in conformance with this memorandum.”
