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 sued United Healthcare. The docket lists the nature of suit as “Contract: Other” with a breach-of-insurance-contract cause of action. The pleading is captioned a “Verified Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial,” and its indexed opening text begins “Frank Tufano received a…,” indicating the claim concerns denial or mishandling of a health-insurance claim or coverage determination.
CourtListener/RECAP confirms the docket coding: nature of suit 190 Contract: Other, cause 12:635 Breach of Insurance Contract, jurisdiction Federal Question, jury demand by the plaintiff.
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.

Research status: Source-backed (CourtListener/RECAP docket snapshot)
Research notes: Update 2026-08-23: Assigned to Magistrate Judge Daryl F. Bloom. CourtListener/RECAP shows three opening docket entries, all 2026-07-29 (complaint with civil cover sheet, summons issued, pro se letter), and nothing after. Nature of suit 190 Contract: Other; cause 12:635 Breach of Insurance Contract; jurisdiction Federal Question. All seven 2026-07-29 filings (3:26-cv-02132 through 3:26-cv-02138) were fee-paid at $405 under a single shared receipt number 333120943, not filed in forma pauperis, so no 28 U.S.C. 1915(e)(2) screening track applies; they were assigned across five different magistrate judges with no consolidation and no common screening order. RECAP mirrors only what a PACER user has already fetched, so the absence of later entries is not affirmative proof of docket inactivity. No published opinion exists for this case on GovInfo (verified against a working control). Docket record: https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/73688952/ Update 2026-09-23: Docket metadata confirms the assigned judge as Magistrate Judge Daryl F. Bloom. No other change; the docket is unmoved since the last pass.
