About this case
Evidentiary treatment: This summarizes the plaintiff's own allegations as stated in the complaint or docket record cited below. It reflects what was filed, not a court finding, and is not a determination that the allegations are true.
This action originated as Tufano v. Fenix Internet LLC, No. 25-CV-3931, filed pro se in the Lackawanna County Court of Common Pleas, and was removed to federal court by Fenix Internet LLC on June 26, 2025. The docket classifies the cause of action as employment/job discrimination under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e (Title VII). Tufano filed objections to the removal. The specific factual allegations underlying the discrimination claim and the relief sought are not available in the indexed materials reviewed.
CourtListener/RECAP independently corroborates the docket coding already on file: nature of suit 442 Civil Rights: Jobs, cause 42:2000e Job Discrimination (Employment), jurisdiction Federal Question. The docket also confirms the action was removed 2025-06-26 from Lackawanna C.C.P. 25-CV-3931 by Fenix Internet LLC.
Sourcing limitation (23 Aug 2026): the complaint itself remains unread — no document on this docket is available through RECAP, and no published opinion exists for this case on GovInfo. The claims description above is therefore based on docket coding, not on the complaint's own text.

Outcome and research status
Research status: Source-backed (PacerMonitor docket snapshot)
Research notes: Update 2026-08-23: Resolves the stay-tension question held open on 2026-08-22. A stay order was entered 2025-12-18 staying the action until 30 days following resolution of the related matter (C051). No lift-stay entry appears on a PacerMonitor docket current through 2026-08-21, so the default-judgment motions of 2026-06-10 and 2026-06-23 were both filed during the stay. Also confirmed this pass: in forma pauperis status was denied 2025-08-27; the action was removed 2025-06-26 from Lackawanna C.C.P. 25-CV-3931 by Fenix Internet LLC; assigned to Magistrate Judge Phillip J. Caraballo; nature of suit 442 Civil Rights: Jobs, cause 42:2000e. This is a docket snapshot -- the stay order document itself was not read, so no judicial finding about the stay's effect is recorded.
