Every decision we've summarized from United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
The Eleventh Circuit vacated a district court dismissal with prejudice, holding that the plaintiff lacked standing for injunctive relief under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The court also ruled that the plaintiff's civil rights claims were barred by the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because they sought to overturn a state court judgment.
The Eleventh Circuit reversed a district court ruling regarding uninsured motorist coverage under Alabama law. The court held that a specialty antique vehicle policy may validly exclude portable coverage when the insured maintains a separate standard policy meeting statutory minimums.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed a district court order denying a third-party claim to forfeited funds in a health care fraud case. The court held that the third-party claimant lacked standing to challenge the forfeitability of the property.
The Eleventh Circuit denied a petition for review of a Board of Immigration Appeals order denying cancellation of removal. The court held that substantial evidence supported the agency's finding that the petitioner's removal would not cause exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to her children.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a pro se plaintiff's amended civil complaint as an impermissible shotgun pleading. The court held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying further amendment opportunities and that the magistrate judge did not plainly err in failing to recuse himself.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the conviction and sentence of a defendant who managed an international enterprise producing and distributing child sexual abuse material. The court held that the images depicted lascivious exhibitions of minors' genitals and pubic areas, and that the district court properly considered sentencing statistics without violating due process.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed a district court's grant of summary judgment in a title insurance dispute. The court held that the final policy superseded the preliminary commitment and excluded coverage for the easement claim.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed Frank Marrupe's conviction for possessing a firearm as a convicted felon but vacated his sentence. The court remanded the case for resentencing because the district court failed to consider federal sentencing guidelines regarding concurrent sentences.
The Eleventh Circuit dismissed an appeal challenging a district court's remand order and denial of reconsideration. The court concluded it lacked jurisdiction because the remand was based on a lack of subject matter jurisdiction and the attorney fees amount remained undetermined.
The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of a former federal prisoner's complaint against prison officials for failure to state a claim. The court held that the prisoner's medical and search-and-seizure claims presented a new context for a Bivens action where special factors counseled against extending the remedy.
