Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
Sorg concluded that Count II alleged only harm without legal injury, but the retrieved writing ends with a promised separate order and does not quote that order's disposition.
“Since presentation to and disposition by the appropriate federal agency is a jurisdictional prerequisite to the bringing of such a suit, 28 U.S. C.A. § 2675(a) (Supp.1976), and the time for filing such a claim has passed, 28 U.S.C.A. § 2401(b) (Supp.1976), this motion will be granted.”
“his ad damnum clause pleads his damages in accordance with Local Rule 30 of this district, and will not be altered.”
“The government’s motion to strike from the complaint plaintiff’s demands for a jury trial and for punitive damages will be granted”
“The government’s motion for sanctions will be dismissed, the parties having resolved their differences with respect thereto.”
“the defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment is hereby granted.”
“judgment be and the same is hereby entered in favor of McGraw-Edison Company and Trustees of the McGraw-Edison Company Profit Sharing Trust, defendants, and against Valentino Bianchin, et al., plaintiffs.”
“The motion for judgment n. o. v. will be denied.”
“The motions to vacate and/or amend the judgment will also be denied.”
“Defendant Ford Motor Company’s Motion for a New Trial has also been carefully considered. The grounds set forth in support thereof are deemed to be without merit.”
“since plaintiff’s complaint does not allege discrimination based upon race, this court has no jurisdiction over the count alleging a violation of 42 U.S.C.A. § 1981.”
“this court is without jurisdiction as to either defendant over the subject matter of plaintiff’s § 1983 claim as set forth in Count II of her complaint.”
“Since Count III of plaintiff’s complaint presupposes the validity of a private cause of action under the Executive Order, it fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and must be dismissed.”
“Lack of jurisdiction with respect to the first three counts of the complaint, however, precludes the assumption of pendent jurisdiction at this stage of the proceeding.”
“An appropriate order granting the motion of defendants for summary judgment will be entered.”
“The motions for judgment n. o. v. will be denied.”
“To the extent that the remaining points raised by Muskin in support of its motion for a new trial are not disposed of under the foregoing discussion with respect to its motion for judgment n. o. v., they are deemed to be without merit.”
“It is ordered that the defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment be and the same is hereby denied.”
“the Motion for Summary Judgment will be denied on the basis of those facts that are not in dispute.”
The writing reports findings and judgment after trial but does not decide a party motion used in the classified outcome set.
“Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment will be granted.”
The writing resolves several interrogatory objections and is retained as an attributable writing but excluded from this profile's merits and case-management outcome statistics.
