The HIPAA hippo.
Twenty days later, Plaintiff’s counsel docketed an “Amended Motion for Default against All Defendants except for Bowanje and for MotoBuddy.” Doc. 40. A charitable description of the filing would be “disjointed,” a less charitable one, “schizophrenic.” A portion of the caption

Now the branches come too close to grinding irrevocably against one another in a conflict that promises to diminish both. This is a losing proposition all around. The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply. The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph. It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it may present an opportunity as well. We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos. This case presents their unique chance to vindicate that value and to summon the best that is within us while there is still time.
We live in a time in which racial, ethnic, and religious antagonisms are “on the march.” United States v. Sherifi, 107 F.4th 309, 318 (4th Cir. 2024). Hudak’s assaults of his fellow citizens were all too emblematic of this trend. Their harm lay not only in the injuries inflicted on two men and their property, but in the lost safety and dignity of all members of the targeted groups. In Hudak’s balled fists and combat boots lay a message: you are not welcome here. In Hudak’s arrest and conviction, however, we find a different message. Blackstone reminds us that “among crimes of different natures those should be most severely punished, which are the most destructive of the public safety and happiness.” 4 William Blackstone, Commentaries *16. Congress acted on this principle by passing federal laws “directed at crimes of racial violence.” Johnson, 421 U.S. at 226. And it was in service of those laws that the jurors here convicted Hudak. In doing so, they expressed the enduring judgment of the American people that crimes of hate reflect neither who we are nor ever shall be.
An apology Sorry, I just want to flag that everything below this point is extremely stupid and you should probably stop reading. In the previous two sections, I have assumed that financial assets are valuable based on their expected future cash flows. In the following sections, I have relaxed that assumption.
Criminal information filed as docket number 7 in 1:25-cr-00252-CJN (D.D.C.) charging Sean Charles Dunn with a violation of 18 U.S.D. § 111(a)(1), omitting any mention of physical contact, which is what makes a violation a felony.
But as events over the past several months have revealed, these are not normal times— at least regarding the interplay between the Executive and this coordinate branch of government. It’s no surprise that the Executive chose a different, and more confrontational, path entirely.[fn2] Instead of appealing any one of the affected habeas cases or filing a rules challenge with the Judicial Council, the Executive decided to sue—and in a big way.
MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to the calendar of Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. Plaintiff filed this patent infringement case naming 24 defendants under seal along with a motion for leave to seal [5] and a motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order with a temporary injunction, asset restraint, and expedited discovery [6]. Plaintiff also filed over 1500 pages of attachments to the complaint [9], also under seal. But this Court, like so many of my colleagues, remains unconvinced that "these commonplace efforts in Schedule A cases to obtain secret relief comport with principles of procedural due process." See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 25 C 2937, 2025 WL 2299593 at *7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025)(Kness, J.) As an initial matter, these infringement cases rarely present exceptional circumstances that would justify sealing the names of all defendants and documents pertaining to their alleged infringing activity, let alone an entire case, even temporarily. "Secrecy makes little sense if the goal of the litigation is to protect rightholders' IP interests by obtaining an injunction against defendants' sales of infringing or counterfeit goods." Id. More importantly, this presumption of sealing runs counter to the well−established authority of this Circuit holding that "[m]any a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case... be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing." See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567−68 (7th Cir. 2000). It is not enough that alleged counterfeiters might quickly shut down the online store and move money if alerted to the fact that they are being sued. Due process still affords them the right to receive notice and a chance to present a defense before restraining all of their assets based solely on one−side…
(c) Beginning January 1, 2025, a motor vehicle operator shall not make a turn when facing a steady red traffic control signal unless DDOT has installed signage, pursuant to subsection (d) of this section, permitting a turn when facing a steady red traffic control signal at that intersection.
In this structure, Plaintiffsface what can be called a “multiplicative problem.” Their likelihood of success overall is the product of their probability of success on each of the independent, dispositive issues. And as probabilities are multiplied, their product shrinks rapidly. Even if a plaintiff has good odds to win any one issue, their overall odds crater because they must run the table to ultimately prevail. The plaintiff must therefore show an extremely high likelihood of success on each individual issue in order to have a normal likelihood of success overall—otherwise, the product of the probabilities will be too low.4
Screenshot of a court opinion reading: This trademark case concerns kisses, sunlight, and soft drinks. The Board found that a consumer is not likely to confuse the mark KIST with the mark SUNKIST when used on or in connection with soft drinks because KIST is marketed to reference a kiss while SUNKIST is marketed to reference a sun.
