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.

  75. BEFORE THE COURT FOR CONSIDERATION IS PLAINTIFFS' EX PARTE EMERGENCY MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND MOTION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION. THE MOTION IS PROCEEDING EX PARTE, AND THEREFORE THE RELIEF REQUESTED MUST BE CONSIDERED A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. CITY OF CINCINNATI EX REL. COSGROVE V. GROGAN, 141 OHIO APP. 3D 733 (2001). THE COURT SHALL CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS WHEN DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO GRANT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF: (1) THE LIKELIHOOD OR PROBABILITY OF PLAINTIFF'S SUCCESS ON THE MERITS; (2) WHETHER THE ISSUANCE OF THE INJUNCTION WILL PREVENT IRREPARABLE HARM TO THE PLAINTIFF; (3) WHAT INJURY TO OTHERS WILL BE CAUSED BY THE GRANTING OF THE INJUNCTION; AND (4) WHETHER THE PUBLIC INTEREST WILL BE SERVED BY THE GRANTING OF THE INJUNCTION. CORBETT V. OHIO BLDG. AUTH., 86 OHIO APP.3D 44 (10TH DIST. 1993). THE FOUR FACTORS "DO NOT ESTABLISH A RIGID AND COMPREHENSIVE TEST FOR DETERMINING THE APPROPRIATENESS OF PRELIMINARY INJUNCTIVE RELIEF" AND ARE THEREFORE "FACTORS TO BE BALANCE, NOT PREREQUISITES THAT MUST BE MET." FRISCH'S RESTAURANT, INC. V. SHONEY'S, INC., 759 F.2D 1261 (6TH CIR. 1985). "[AN] INJUNCTION IS AN EXTRAORDINARY REMEDY; THEREFORE, THE MOVING PARTY HAS A SUBSTANTIAL BURDEN TO MEET IN ORDER TO BE ENTITLED TO THE INJUNCTION." SINOFF V. OHIO PERMANENTE MED. GROUP, 146 OHIO APP. 3D 732, 740 (8TH DIST. 2001). THE COURT FINDS THAT THE PLAINTIFFS FAILED TO MEET THEIR BURDEN FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. ACCORDINGLY, PLAINTIFFS' EMERGENCY MOTION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION, AND APPOINTMENT OF SPECIAL MASTER, FILED 11/14/2025, IS DENIED IN PART. PLAINTIFFS' EMERGENCY MOTION FOR A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER IS DENIED. MOTION HEARING SET FOR 02/26/2026 AT 01:30 PM.

ALL DEFENDANTS WITHOUT COUNSEL ARE HEREBY ON NOTICE THAT IF THEY HIRE COUNSEL, SAID ATTORNEY SHALL FILE A NOTICE OF APPEARANCE WITH THIS COURT. IN THE ABSENCE OF REPRESENTATION BY COUNSEL, THE COURT WILL ASSUME ANY UNREPRESENTED PARTY WILL BE PROCEEDING TO TRIAL PRO SE. PRO SE LITIGANTS SHALL BE HELD TO THE FOLLOWING STANDARD: "IT IS WELL ESTABLISHED THAT PRO SE LITIGANTS ARE PRESUMED TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW AND LEGAL PROCEDURES AND THAT THEY ARE HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD AS LITIGANTS WHO ARE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL." STATE EX REL. FULLER V. MENGEL, 100 OHIO ST.3D 352, 2003-OHIO-6448, 10 (CITATION OMITTED). IN ADDITION, "PRO SE LITIGANTS (ARE PRESUMED TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW AND OF CORRECT LEGAL PROCEDURE, AND ARE HELD TO THE SAME STANDARD AS ALL OTHER LITIGANTS. [THEY]) CANNOT EXPECT NOR DEMAND SPECIAL TREATMENT FROM THE JUDGE WHO IS TO SIT AS IMPARTIAL ARBITER." MALIZIA V. MALIZIA, 9TH DIST. NO. 22565, 2005-OHIO-5186, 20 (CITATION OMITTED). "[THE] PRO SE LITIGANT IS TO BE TREATED THE SAME AS ONE TRAINED IN THE LAW AS FAR AS THE REQUIREMENT TO FOLLOW PROCEDURAL LAW AND THE ADHERENCE TO COURT RULES." TATE V. OWENS STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE, 10TH DIST. FRANKLIN NO. 10AP-1201, 2011-OHIO-3452, 15 (CITATION OMITTED). ALL COMPANY AND/OR CORPORATE DEFENDANTS ARE HEREBY ON NOTICE THAT UNDER OHIO LAW, A CORPORATION IS A "PERSON" THAT MUST BE REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL. UNION SAV. ASS'N V. HOME OWNERS AID, 23 OHIO ST.2D 60, 262 N.E.2D 558 (1970). AN AGENT OF A CORPORATION MAY NOT REPRESENT THE CORPORATION IN LEGAL PROCEEDINGS UNLESS LICENSED IN THE STATE OF OHIO AS AN ATTORNEY.

PURSUANT TO CIV.R. 11, "EVERY PLEADING, MOTION, OR OTHER DOCUMENT OF A PARTY REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY SHALL BE SIGNED, BY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE OR BY HAND . . . A PARTY WHO IS NOT REPRESENTED BY AN ATTORNEY SHALL SIGN, BY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE OR BY HAND, THE PLEADING, MOTION, OR OTHER DOCUMENT AND STATE THE PARTY'S ADDRESS, A TELEPHONE NUMBER, FACSIMILE NUMBER, IF ANY, AND PERSONAL E-MAIL ADDRESS, IF ANY, FOR SERVICE BY ELECTRONIC MEANS UNDER CIV.R. 5(B)(2)(F)." FURTHER, CIV.R. 5(B)(4) STATES "THE SERVED DOCUMENT SHALL BE ACCOMPANIED BY A COMPLETED PROOF OF SERVICE WHICH SHALL STATE THE DATE AND MANNER OF SERVICE, SPECIFICALLY IDENTIFY THE DIVISION OF CIV.R. 5(B)(2) BY WHICH THE SERVICE WAS MADE, AND BE SIGNED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CIV.R. 11.

LASTLY, ALL COMPANY AND/OR CORPORATE DEFENDANTS ARE HEREBY ON NOTICE THAT UNDER OHIO LAW, A CORPORATION IS A "PERSON" THAT MUST BE REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL. UNION SAV. ASS'N V.

See the patterns behind this case

The free view above tells you who’s in the room. The detailed reports below show how the room tends to behave — using the same public records lawyers quietly rely on before every hearing.

  • Judge Report

    How this judge has ruled in cases like yours — case mix, motion outcomes, and historical docket. Judges set the floor of what’s possible in your courtroom.

  • Attorney vs Judge Report

    Everything in the Judge Report, plus how your attorney has actually performed in front of this judge. Attorneys move you off the floor — or don’t.

One-time payment, no subscription. Reports describe past public court activity — they don’t predict outcomes and they aren’t legal advice.
