Civil Procedure
In one sentence

In Hernandez v. Oswinski, Judge Briccetti entered judgment for defendants after Hernandez failed to amend his complaint or request more time.

Who this affects

Luis A. Hernandez’s claims were dismissed, judgment was entered for W. Oswinski, C.O. Faizon, and K. Lasik, and Hernandez was denied permission to proceed without paying court fees on appeal.

What happened

In Hernandez v. Oswinski, the court said Luis A. Hernandez had not filed an amended complaint or asked for more time by the deadline.

The court stated that it had already dismissed all of Hernandez’s claims. The judgment therefore favored W. Oswinski, C.O. Faizon, and K. Lasik, and the case was closed.

Judge Vincent Briccetti’s court also certified that an appeal from the earlier order would not be taken in good faith and denied Hernandez permission to proceed without paying court fees on appeal.

Case
Hernandez v. Oswinksi · No. 7:18-cv-07365
Judge
Vincent Briccetti
Date
Nov. 27, 2019

Background

The judgment states that the court had previously dismissed all of Luis A. Hernandez’s claims in an order dated November 25, 2019. Hernandez then failed to file an amended complaint or request an extension of time.

Ruling

The court entered judgment in favor of W. Oswinski, C.O. Faizon, and K. Lasik and closed the case. It also certified under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3) that an appeal from the November 25 order would not be taken in good faith, so Hernandez was denied permission to proceed without paying court fees for an appeal.

What the Judgment Does Not Say

The judgment does not describe the underlying claims, explain why they were dismissed, or state whether the earlier dismissal was with or without prejudice.
