Tufano v. Mighty Meats LLC et al
3:26-cv-01020 · U.S. District Court, Middle District of Pennsylvania
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.
Plaintiff, proceeding pro se, sued Mighty Meats LLC and its principals, Celeste Ingersoll Hughes and Dallin Cutler Hughes. The docket categorizes the action as “Other Fraud,” with the pleaded cause of action arising under the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45. The indexed text of the complaint states that, based on “patterns of favoritism” toward the defendants, Tufano believes the company “is working with social media platforms” to his detriment, indicating the claims concern alleged anticompetitive or deceptive conduct affecting his ability to compete online.
The docket record could not be re-coded this pass: CourtListener/RECAP holds a docket shell with no nature-of-suit or cause fields ingested, and every other source refused.
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.
Defendants
- Celeste Ingersoll Hughes
- Dallin Cutler Hughes

Outcome and research status
Research status: Partially researched (CourtListener/RECAP docket record confirms docket, filing date and assigned judge; own docket entries unavailable -- PacerMonitor 429/403, Justia bot-challenge, DocketBird/Trellis 403, UniCourt 404)
Research notes: Update 2026-08-23: CourtListener/RECAP confirms the docket and assigns the case to Magistrate Judge Susan E. Schwab. RECAP holds a docket shell with zero docket entries ingested, and every other permitted source refused the request (PacerMonitor 429 on direct fetch and 403 in a live browser; Justia unresolved bot-challenge; DocketBird and Trellis 403; UniCourt 404). No disposition, docket movement or complaint text could be obtained. GovInfo has no published opinion package for this case (verified against a working control), which is genuine absence rather than an access failure.
