“For the reasons provided below, Defendant's motion is granted. ... In this case, Plaintiff was afforded far more process than is required. ... Hence, Defendant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.”

“this Court denies Defendant's motion as to the discrimination and retaliation claims (Counts One, Two, Seven and Eight). However, because there are no genuine issues of material fact, this Court also grants Defendant's motion for summary judgment ... regarding Breach of Contract (Count Three), Promissory Estoppel (Count Four); Fraudulent Misrepresentation (Count Five), and his WPCL claim (Count Six).”

“this Court also grants Defendant's motion for summary judgment and denies Plaintiff's cross-motion for partial summary judgment regarding Breach of Contract (Count Three), Promissory Estoppel (Count Four); Fraudulent Misrepresentation (Count Five), and his WPCL claim (Count Six).”

“Defendants' Motion for Partial Summary Judgment is hereby granted in part and denied in part. ... Granted with regard to Plaintiff Lisa Russell's substantive due process and bystander liability claims (Counts III and IV), Plaintiff Joyce Cianfrani's excessive force claim against Sgt. Stephen Brown (Count II) and Plaintiff's Russell and Cianfrani's Monell claim (Count V) against Defendant Borough of Clifton Heights. ... unlawful seizure claims ... shall proceed to trial.”

“The Report and Recommendation of United States Magistrate Judge Carol Sandra Moore Wells is APPROVED and ADOPTED; The Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE; and No certificate of appealability shall issue”

“The Honorable Carol Sandra Moore Wells' report and recommendation (Doc. No. 19) is APPROVED and ADOPTED with additions ...; The petitioner's petition for a writ of habeas corpus (Doc. No. 4) is DISMISSED WITHOUT AN EVIDENTIARY HEARING; The petitioner has not made a substantial showing of the denial of a constitutional right and is therefore not entitled to a certificate of appealability”

“The Report and Recommendations (Docket No. 13) are APPROVED and ADOPTED in part and DENIED without prejudice in part, to the extent that they discuss the issue of procedural default only. ... Mr. Holden's remaining objections are DENIED.”

“after review of the Report and Recommendation of Carol Sandra Moore Wells ... The Report and Recommendation is APPROVED and ADOPTED; The Commissioner's Amended Uncontested Motion to Remand is GRANTED; Plaintiff's Request for Review is GRANTED; ... REMANDED to the Commissioner of Social Security, pursuant to sentence four of 42 U.S.C. 405(g)”

District Judge O'Neill adopted three of Judge Wells's recommendations addressing dismissal motions across three consolidated self-represented special-education actions. Many claims were dismissed with prejudice; others were dismissed without prejudice with leave to file one consolidated amended municipal-liability complaint. The recommendations distinguished legally barred claims from claims that could be repleaded. Because the many claim-specific dispositions are intertwined, this memorandum is presented as a reasoning example rather than divided into separate motion outcomes.

“it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment (Document No. 8) is DENIED.”

“ORDERED that the Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus [Doc. No. 1], is DENIED and DISMISSED.”

“The petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.”

“it is hereby RECOMMENDED that the Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus be CONDITIONALLY GRANTED. The matter should be REMANDED to the United States Parole Commission for further proceedings.”
