Donald J. Trump v. Hillary R. Clinton, Democratic National Committee, et al.

The Eleventh Circuit affirmed the dismissal of Donald Trump's civil lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and related entities, ruling that his racketeering claims were time-barred and his other allegations were legally insufficient. While upholding the district court's sanctions against Trump and his attorneys for filing a frivolous 'shotgun' complaint, the appellate court vacated the dismissal with prejudice against one defendant, Orbis Limited, due to a lack of personal jurisdiction.

Phhhoto Inc. v. Meta Platforms, Inc.

The Second Circuit reversed a dismissal of an antitrust claim against Meta, holding that the plaintiff adequately alleged fraudulent concealment to equitably toll the statute of limitations. The court found that Meta's public statements about its algorithmic feed and the inherently self-concealing nature of the suppression scheme prevented the plaintiff from discovering the claim until October 2017.
