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.
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.

- rder of Dismissal JUDGMENT AND ORDER ON DEFENDANTS' MOTION TO DISMISS On this 24th day of October, 2024, the Court, having heard and considered the arguments of the parties and having read and considered their memoranda, sustains Defendant's motion to dismiss Plaintiff's petition. Plaintiff's petition fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and it cannot be amended to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Plaintiff's petition is therefore dismissed with prejudice at Plaintiff's cost. SO ORDERED /s/ Benjamin F Lewis, Division II Associated Entries: 08/22/2024 - Motion to Dismiss +
