In John Curry v. John Theos, Judge Woods ordered attendance at two conferences and warned that nonattendance could lead to dismissal.
John Curry, and defense counsel for John Theos, Odani Acevedo, and Thomas Accomando, must attend the two scheduled conferences. The warning specifically concerns Curry’s claims against Theos, Acevedo, and Accomando.
What happened
In John Curry v. John Theos, a conference about three defendants’ proposed request to dismiss the case was held on November 12, 2025, but John Curry did not attend.
The court scheduled additional conferences for December 1 and December 8, 2025, and ordered Curry and the defendants’ lawyer to attend both in person. The court warned that if Curry misses both conferences, it will dismiss his claims against John Theos, Odani Acevedo, and Thomas Accomando for not pursuing the case.
Judge Gregory H. Woods issued the order on November 13, 2025. The order did not itself dismiss any claims; it set conferences and warned of a possible future dismissal.
