The Ninth Circuit affirmed the denial of qualified immunity for a police officer who fatally shot an unarmed individual. The court held that viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the plaintiffs, a reasonable jury could find the use of deadly force violated clearly established law.
The D.C. Circuit dismissed Indiana's appeal of a district court order remanding a Medicaid dispute to HHS because the remand order was not a final decision under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. The court held that the order left the core dispute unresolved for further agency proceedings, and no exceptions to the finality rule applied.
The Eleventh Circuit held that a plaintiff is entitled to equitable tolling of the 90-day statutory filing period for a Title VII claim when an extraordinary circumstance, such as a hurricane, delays delivery of a complaint despite the plaintiff's reasonable diligence. The court vacated the district court's dismissal and remanded the case for further proceedings.
The Tenth Circuit affirmed Mackenzie Becker's convictions for firearms and drug offenses, rejecting his argument that the search warrant affidavit failed to establish probable cause linking a road-rage incident to his residence. The court also dismissed Becker's Second Amendment challenge as foreclosed by existing Tenth Circuit precedent.
The Fifth Circuit dismissed an appeal challenging a district court's denial of a discovery order in a federal habeas proceeding, ruling that such orders are generally not appealable. The court also denied the defendant's motion to proceed in forma pauperis as moot due to the dismissal.
The Third Circuit affirmed a district court order confirming an arbitration award resolving a law firm dissolution dispute. The court rejected the appellant's claims that the arbitrators manifestly disregarded the law or committed misconduct regarding fee distributions and jurisdictional limits.
The Third Circuit affirmed summary judgment for police officers who used deadly force against a man with a mental health crisis holding a pellet gun. The court held that the officers' perception of an imminent threat made their use of force objectively reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.
The Third Circuit affirmed a district court's grant of summary judgment against Lakeview Pharmacy, ruling that the exclusion of its untimely expert report was not an abuse of discretion. The court held that because Lakeview failed to seek proper extensions and disregarded discovery deadlines, the late submission was procedurally barred.
The Third Circuit granted counsel's motion to withdraw under Anders v. California, finding that Dayakar Mallu's appeal presented no nonfrivolous issues. The court affirmed Mallu's conviction and downward-varied sentence based on the enforceability of his valid appellate waiver.
The Third Circuit affirmed Brandyn Allen Seabreeze's conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, ruling that the traffic stop and subsequent search did not violate the Fourth Amendment. The court further held that Seabreeze had knowingly waived his right to appeal the sentencing calculation in his plea agreement.
