Signed rulings
A grounded sample of orders signed by this judge, with the verbatim dispositive language.
“Defendants Medtronic, Inc.'s and Medtronic USA, Inc.'s Motion for Summary Judgment (docket #104) and Defendant Integra Lifesciences Corporation's Motion for Summary Judgment (docket #105) are GRANTED such that Plaintiffs' claims and this case are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.”
“Defendant Kendall County's Motion for Summary Judgment (docket #18) is GRANTED and all of Plaintiff's claims and this case are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.”
“Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment (docket #4) is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as premature”
“Defendants' Motion to Dismiss (docket #38) is GRANTED IN PART such that Plaintiff's Verified First Amended Complaint (docket #32) is DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE for the failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2); DENIED IN PART... DENIED IN PART AS MOOT”
“GRANTS IN PART AND DENIES IN PART Plaintiff's Motion for Final Default Judgment (Dkt. # 8). The Motion is GRANTED as to Plaintiff's request for damages, fees, and costs, as follows: (1) $3,285 in statutory compensatory damages... (2) $3,285 in statutory enhanced damages... (3) $2,137.50 in reasonable attorneys' fees... and (4) $516 of costs... The Motion is DENIED as to Plaintiff's request for additional damages.”
“the Court ADOPTS Judge Bemporad's recommendations and GRANTS Plaintiff Angel Dominguez's Motion for Default Judgment. (Dkt. # 11.)”
Judge Bemporad screened this self-represented litigant's in-forma-pauperis complaint under 28 U.S.C. 1915(e) and recommended dismissal as frivolous, denial of the pending motions as moot, and a filing injunction. Judge Pulliam reviewed for clear error and adopted the recommendation. Because the screening occurred on the court's own initiative, it resolved no party motion.
“the Magistrate Judge concluded that Plaintiff's appeal to the Fifth Circuit was not taken in good faith and recommended that his application for IFP status on appeal (ECF No. 14) be denied.”
“the Magistrate Judge concluded that, because the ALJ had erred in failing to resolve conflict between the VE's testimony and the DOT, the record lacked substantial evidence to support the ALJ's decision that Plaintiff is not disabled at step five of the analysis. ECF No. 23 at 10 ... Accordingly, the Magistrate Judge recommended that the Commissioner's decision be vacated and remanded for further reconsideration.”
“Magistrate Judge Bemporad found that the case should be dismissed because Velez has failed to pay the required filing fee or properly fill out the in forma pauperis application, failed to state any bases for his claims, seems to be bringing a frivolous suit, and has failed to comply with the Court's orders.”
“the Report and Recommendations of the United States Magistrate Judge, filed in this case on May 28, 2025 (docket #71) is ACCEPTED such that Defendant, City of San Antonio, Texas' Partial Motion to Dismiss Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) (docket #57) and The Defendant Officers' Second (12)(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Third Amended Complaint (docket #61) are GRANTED and this case is DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.”
“For the reasons set out above, I recommend DISMISSAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE of Plaintiff's claims against (1) Las Vegas; (2) Attorney Cameron Brown, (3) Attorney Christopher Ford; (4) Attorney Tony Smith; (5) Attorney Kimberley House; (6) Advocate Kassandra Levay; (7) Tonja Ochonma, and (8) Charles Ochonma.”
“it is clear from the face of Plaintiff's notice "that removal should not be permitted," and that "summary remand" is appropriate. Id. § 1455(b)(4). Accordingly, I recommend that the Court REMAND this matter to the Fifteenth Circuit Court of Alabama.”
