Your case is unique, but you are not alone.

About 41,000 new cases are filed in U.S. courts every weekday. Behind each one is a person trying to understand what happens next. Here’s what the public record can tell you about this matter — and about the people deciding it.

  • Know your judge

    Every judge has a pattern — what they grant, what they deny, how they handle the kinds of motions your case will see.

  • Know your attorney

    See an attorney’s actual track record — case types, courts, and how they’ve performed in front of this judge before.

  • Know your court

    Every courthouse has its own rhythm — filing-to-resolution times, common dispositions, how often cases like yours settle.

Is this judge more likely to rule for the plaintiff or the defendant in cases of this type?

How has your attorney actually performed in front of this judge?

AICasePredict surfaces patterns from public court records. We don’t predict outcomes and we don’t recommend changing your attorney — that’s a conversation for you and them. We just show you what the record already says.

  28. Notice of Docket Entry: Plaintiff's Motion For Reconsideration is DENIED. Plaintiff seeks reconsideration of this court's earlier order dismissing his G.L. c. 40A, sec. 17, appeal on the grounds that it was not timely filed, thus depriving the court of subject matter jurisdiction. In his motion for reconsideration, plaintiff relies on G.L. c. 260, sec. 12, which tolls the statute of limitation where "a person liable to a personal action fraudulently conceals the cause of action from the person entitled to bring it." A party seeking reconsideration of a prior ruling "should specify (1) 'changed circumstances' such as (a) newly discovered evidence or information, or (b) a development of relevant law, or (2) a particular and demonstrable error in the original ruling or decision." Audubon Hill S. Condo. Ass'n v. Cemty. Ass'n Underwriters of Am., 82 Mass. App. Ct. 461, 470 (2012). G.L. c. 260, sec. 12, has no applicability to this zoning appeal. (It is also not a new development in the law.) Email notice to: Pro Se Plaintiff Timothy Toomey and Attorney Thomas A. Mullen. Judge: Roberts, Hon. Jennifer S.D. Notice of Docket Entry was generated and sent to: Defendant: Thomas A Mullen, Esq. [email protected] Plaintiff: Timothy Toomey [email protected]

  37. Notice of Docket Entry: Plaintiff's Motion for Reconsideration (Memorandum In Support of Motion for Relief From Judgment of Dismissal and Reinstate the Case) ("the Motion") is DENIED. Plaintiff seeks, for a second time, reconsideration of this court's earlier order dismissing Plaintiff's complaint (an appeal pursuant to G. L. c. 40A, § 17) due to lack of subject matter jurisdiction, the complaint not having been timely filed. Nothing in Plaintiff's Motion changes that conclusion. And, once again, Plaintiff's Motion alleges nothing that would satisfy the requirements for seeking reconsideration as set forth in Audubon Hill S. Condo. Ass'n v. Cmty. Ass'n Underwriters of Am., 82 Mass. App. Ct. 461, 470 (2012). Email notice to: Attorney William A Moschella and Attorney Thomas A. Mullen. Judge: Roberts, Hon. Jennifer S.D.

  44. Notice of Docket Entry: Defendant's Motion To Strike Notice Of Appeal is DENIED. Plaintiff Timothy Toomey's Notice Of Appeal is limited to the March 9, 2023 denial of his second motion for reconsideration of the court's earlier order dismissing his complaint. The appeal of that order was timely filed. See Rafi v. Harvard Univ. Medical School, 2023 Mass. App. Unpub. LEXIS 125 at *3 ("The only issue timely appealed and thus properly before us is the denial of Rafi's motion for reconsideration, appealed the day after the denial of the motion."). Email notice to: Pro Se Plaintiff Timothy Toomey and Attorney Thomas A. Mullen. Judge: Roberts, Hon. Jennifer S.D. Notice of Docket Entry was generated and sent to: Defendant: Thomas A Mullen, Esq. [email protected] Plaintiff: Timothy Toomey [email protected]
  45. Appeals Court re No. 2023-J-0190: TIMOTHY TOOMEY V. TOWN OF ROWLEY & others NOTICE OF DOCKET ENTRY ORDER RE#1: The plaintiff has filed a petition pursuant to G.L. c. 231, s. 118, first para., requesting review of the 3/9/23 order of the Land Court denying his motion for reconsideration of his motion for relief from judgment of dismissal and reinstate the case. As final judgment of dismissal has entered on the underlying complaint, I cannot grant the relief sought by the plaintiff. See Gibbs Ford, Inc. v. United Truck Leasing Corp., 399 Mass. 8, 10 (1987) ("if a final judgment has been entered . . . relief under the first paragraph of G.L. c. 231, s. 118, is not available"). The plaintiff may appeal that order, and in fact, the Land Court docket reflects that the plaintiff timely filed a notice of appeal from the 3/9/23 order. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. (Vuono, J.). Notice/attest/Roberts,J.
  46. Notice of Assembly of Record on Appeal sent to the Clerk of the Appeals Court.
  47. Notice of Assembly of Record on Appeal sent to all counsel of record.
