Saladino-related litigation

The Paul Saladino dispute: ten docket records from 2020 to 2026, beginning with Saladino's S.D.N.Y. suit and including later actions Tufano filed himself.

Cases in this group

Dated chronology

Prior litigation filed

Paul Saladino filed the earlier S.D.N.Y. action against Tufano.

Counsel withdrawal granted

The court granted defense counsel's motion to be relieved and permitted Tufano to proceed pro se, directing him to state by March 18 whether he would retain new counsel or proceed pro se.

Certificate of default entered

After no answer was filed to the amended complaint, a certificate of default was entered against Tufano.

Motion to vacate default denied

The court denied the motion to vacate the entries of default, finding the defendants' default willful and that they failed to show a meritorious defense.

Adverse court order

S.D.N.Y. entered a default judgment enjoining Tufano from, among other things, making public statements that Saladino copied, plagiarized, stole, or improperly used Tufano's work.

Complaint filed

Tufano filed C048 against Saladino and others alleging, among other things, that Saladino copied his work.

Case dismissed / leave unused

After an R&R recommended dismissal and leave to correct deficiencies was granted, Tufano did not file an amended complaint; C048 was dismissed without prejudice.

New complaint filed

Tufano filed C055 naming substantially the same defendants.

Concurrent same-day complaint filed (state court)

A Lackawanna County Saladino complaint (C019, 2025-05793) was filed the same day as the original federal Saladino complaint C055 (3:25-cv-01400). Direct review of C019's Verified Complaint confirms all five named defendants (Paul Saladino MD, Jeffrey Davis Esq, David D. Lin Esq, White Plains Lodge #473, The Illuminati) match C055's federal caption exactly, and C019 brings Fraud, Tortious Interference, and Civil Conspiracy counts overlapping C055's five causes of action.

Third similar complaint filed

Tufano filed a third similar action against the same defendants; it also added Judge Karoline Mehalchick.

Screening warning / opportunity to amend

A screening order advised Tufano of pleading deficiencies and gave him an opportunity to file an amended complaint; he did not amend.

Multiple post-default motions denied

The court denied motions to vacate the inquest, file a third-party complaint, disqualify the court/demand a trial, and stay proceedings, and struck the improperly filed third-party complaint.

R&R and related dismissal

The C055 R&R recommended dismissal with no further leave to amend; on the same date C059 was dismissed for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.

Original federal complaint filed

Tufano filed C061 in M.D. Pa. against Paul Saladino, MD and Heart & Soil Supplements LLC.

Parallel state complaint filed

A Lackawanna County Saladino case (2026-00838 / 26-cv-838) is recorded on the same date as C061.

Final dismissal

District court adopted the R&R and dismissed C055 with prejudice.

State action removed

Paul Saladino removed Lackawanna County case 26-cv-838 to M.D. Pa. as 3:26-cv-01266.

Federal actions consolidated

The court consolidated 3:26-cv-01266 into 3:26-cv-00396, denied Tufano's default-judgment motion as premature, and ordered him to show cause by June 5 why the matter should not be dismissed for failure to effect proper service.

Emergency stay pending appeal denied

The court denied an emergency stay pending appeal, stating that the motion largely reasserted arguments previously raised and rejected and presented no new facts, evidence or controlling authority justifying a stay.

Appellate stay denied

The Second Circuit denied Tufano's motion to stay the district court judgment underlying the consolidated appeals Nos. 26-302 (L) and 26-1487 (Con), citing Nken v. Holder, and stated that the appeals will continue in the ordinary course.

Case dismissed and closed

The removed federal action (M.D. Pa. 3:26-cv-00542) was dismissed and closed. The order adopted the Aug. 12, 2026 report and recommendation in its entirety, granted both motions to dismiss, and denied the plaintiff’s motion to strike as an objection.

Public statements by filing-restriction factor

42 researched statements connected to this dispute group describe filing conduct of a kind the indicator data records, ordered with the factors closest to the filing-restriction criteria first. A factor records what the speaker said — not that a court found it, and not that anyone has been determined a vexatious litigant. Statements whose words describe no filing conduct are not ranked here; they are listed on each case page and on the video's own research page.

What these tiers are: “Strong”, “Moderate” and “Context” are this project’s research classification of how closely a public statement bears on the documented filing-restriction indicators. They are not judicial findings, not an adjudication of anything said in a video, and not a determination that Frank Tufano is a vexatious litigant — no court in this dataset has made that determination. Court findings, party statements and research classifications are kept in separate evidence layers throughout this site; see Methodology.

How a tier is assigned. Strong — the statement names a tracked case or dispute and describes filing conduct of the kind the indicators document: repeat filing on the same dispute, filing after an adverse decision, or filing framed as imposing cost on the opponent. Moderate — it bears on litigation conduct or chronology in a tracked dispute, but the case link is tentative or the statement describes something other than the speaker’s own filing behaviour. Context — general commentary with no specific tracked case identified.

What the factor labels are. Each statement is also labelled with the filing-restriction factor its own words describe, so the reason for a classification is visible rather than implied. Most factors correspond to a criterion recorded in the indicator data, and the three that do not are marked as such there — a filing that has only been threatened has no docket to record, and an allegation about a court is the speaker’s characterisation rather than a recorded criterion. Repeat filing on the same dispute, filing after an adverse decision and cost imposition as stated motive are the three that can qualify a statement as Strong; threatened or prospective filing, self-reported filing volume, filing announced or confirmed, adverse outcome described and judicial or forum bias alleged record related but weaker signals. A statement that describes no filing conduct carries no factor badge. A factor records what the speaker said — not that a court found it, and not that anyone has been determined a vexatious litigant.

How quotations are marked: An ellipsis (…) inside a quotation marks words left out between two passages of the same video, which can sit some minutes apart. The omitted wording is not reproduced here, and a clip on the statement supercut plays the whole span from the quotation’s first word to its last — so it includes the omitted material. Quotations without an ellipsis are continuous speech.

Quotations on this page are excerpts: a quotation ending in an ellipsis is shortened here for length. The full wording, and the reason recorded for its pattern-relevance tier, are on the video’s own research page — follow the ¶ permalink on any card.

Uh I guess we'll find out what happens with the Saladin court case. Well, technically I already tried it once. I filed that case like five or six months ago and the judge dismissed it for failure to state a claim or something and then like…

This is the speaker's own first-person account of the sequence the tracker records as a repeat-filing pair. He names the dispute ("the Saladin[o] court case"), dates his first attempt ("five or six months ago"), states the ground of dismissal ("failure to state a claim"), states that the appeal was itself dismissed on a fee/notice failure, and says he refiled as a result. Every element is checkable against the docket data and every element matches: C048 (M.D. Pa. 3:25-cv-00262) was filed 2025-02-12 — 5.6 months before this video published — and dismissed 2025-06-11 after an R&R recommended dismissal for failure to state a claim with leave to amend that he did not use. C055 (3:25-cv-01400) was filed 2025-07-29, two days before publication, and carries previous_related_case_id: C048 and refiling_of_prior_case: Yes. The appellate leg he describes is not currently in the tracker's C048 row and is a research lead. The dismissal-to-refiling core factor is satisfied by the new action, not by the appeal: the appeal is the ordinary appellate remedy and is expressly excluded by the factor's definition. The Strong tier rests on the refiling.

The speaker states, in his own words, that he sued the judge who presided over the Saladino action and that the suit was dismissed "last week." Both halves are independently corroborated by the dataset: C030/C064 (*Tufano v. Nelson*) names Roman Stephen Nelson (D0230) as a defendant, and its closing order was entered 2026-09-01, nine days before publication. It cannot reach Strong because neither factor is one of the three core filing-conduct factors — confirming a filing and reporting a ruling against himself are a docket fact and an announcement, not repeat-filing conduct.

This restates, on camera, the same jury-trial theory that C030/C064's claims summary records as pleaded — that the defendants denied him due process and a jury trial. It is the speaker's characterisation of how courts have treated his filings, not a court's finding, and it gives no count of filings, so `Self-reported filing volume` does not apply despite the phrase "every single lawsuit I filed."

Did Paul Saladino RUIN MY FAMILY?! · August 2, 2026

You know, I never had a fair trial. I never had anything in the court. The judge just said, "I cannot speak about Paul Saladino."

The clearest statement anywhere in this research of what the C100 injunction's scope is understood to be — and it appears in a 59-second video titled "Did Paul Saladino RUIN MY FAMILY?!", tagged SALADINO DOG PARK, naming him five times. the video “Corrupt Judge issued an ILLEGAL ORDER” already records that C100's default judgment carried a speech-restricting injunction (entered 2025-01-30; Final Judgment 2026-05-21). The tension between the stated restriction and the video's own existence is recorded here as a fact; whether any order was actually breached is a legal question this research does not answer — the injunction's real terms are in the court record, not in a paraphrase by the enjoined party.

The plaintiff's own account of why C100 went to default — attorney malpractice. This sits in direct tension with the court record: the video “Corrupt Judge issued an ILLEGAL ORDER” records C100's finding that the defaults were willful and that no meritorious defense was shown, and the case tracker records final judgment entered with a damages award. Two accounts of the same default, one a public statement and one a court finding, and this project's evidence-layer rule keeps them in separate categories. Recorded, not adjudicated.

The single most identifying sentence in the video. “Five years” against a publication date of 2025-08-15 points to a case commenced around mid-to-late 2020; C100 was filed 2020-11-07 — 4 years 9 months, which “five years now” rounds to. It also supplies a motion-outcome summary (every motion denied) and a counsel history (two lawyers fired). The case tracker records for C100 that “Tufano was initially represented, counsel was relieved Feb. 23, 2021, and he was permitted to proceed pro se.” The dataset records one relief of counsel; “I've had to fire two” is unverified and is his own count.

Shopify (USA) Inc. et al, filed 2025-02-21), whose recorded refiling basis reads "targeting the Lewis & Lin court order used to obtain his business records", and of C095 (filed 2025-02-24), "the same single fraud claim against Shopify and Lewis & Lin LLC over the same misused court order." Lewis & Lin LLC and David D. Lin Esq are both tracked parties. The "default judgment" half matches C100's default judgment and injunction of 2025-01-30. So this passage joins the C100 default judgment to the Shopify-dispute subpoena litigation in the speaker's own words, on a dated record, six months after both. It describes no new filing — the C047/C095 actions were already on file — so no filing-conduct factor is coded. Tier: Moderate (Adverse outcome described)

Evil Freemason Judge helps Illuminati Agent HARASS ME · May 25, 2025

I was literally bleeding out my eyes two weeks ago. I filed a court postponement because I'm not really able to read documents for more than a few minutes at a time. And this judge denied it, saying that I cannot represent myself, per se…

A first-person account of a motion he filed (a postponement/continuance on medical grounds) and of the court's ruling against him on it. The docket fact is the denial; the reason he attributes to the judge is unrecoverable from the caption. Tier: Moderate (Adverse outcome described)

Illuminati Agent uses Corrupt Freemason Judge to RUIN MY LIFE · April 29, 2025

He reads the operative injunction aloud. The text tracks the recorded litigation timeline's entry for C100 (2025-01-30) — “S.D.N.Y. entered a default judgment enjoining Tufano from, among other things, making public statements that Saladino copied, plagiarized, stole, or improperly used Tufano's work.” This is a court order and belongs in the court-findings evidence layer, not the public-statements layer; what the video contributes is only that he read it on camera and described its effect on him.

GANGSTALKERS COMING AFTER MY BUSINESS!? Insider at Shopify? · February 21, 2025

with this one the court judgment did not issue monetary damages yet so their lawyer is acting fraudulently trying to get money before the Crooked judge is even allowing it

One of the few statements in the archive that can be checked directly against a docket, and it holds up. The case tracker records that in C100 (Saladino, MD v. Frank Tufano, S.D.N.Y. 7:20-cv-09346) a default judgment/injunction was entered 2025-01-30, but that the Final Judgment awarding money — $1 nominal, $52,500 punitive, $100,000 statutory under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d), plus fees and costs — was not entered until 2026-05-21. On 2025-02-21 it was therefore accurate that a judgment existed and that no monetary damages had been awarded. The second half of the sentence is the bias allegation.

Did Paul Saladino RUIN MY FAMILY?! · August 2, 2026

Basically, he was jealous of my intelligence and my YouTube channel and filed a lawsuit against me. And the guys really connected. I don't know how he got the judges to basically silence me.

Compresses into one sentence the origin story that the video “Did PAUL SALADINO TELL TABAN TO BOTCH ME?!” (2026-04-11) tells at length — the 2020 uncredited-content grievance. Here the causal claim is stronger and unhedged ("he got the judges"), where “Did PAUL SALADINO TELL TABAN TO BOTCH ME?!” hedged throughout ("maybe even"). Also note "I don't know how" — he disclaims knowledge of the mechanism while asserting the result.

Evil Judge Protects Weber SOLOMON of All Ways Forwarding · July 20, 2026

Saladino's lawyer forged documents, made fake doc-service stuff, I was never served the lawsuit — a whole bunch of really fake nonsense, and the judge just went with it and didn't care.

A direct cross-reference, in a video about the All-Ways wagyu-shipment dispute, back to the same alleged-forged-affidavit-of-service claim documented in this research's coverage of the video "Will this CORRUPT JUDGE Help Paul Saladino GET AWAY WITH IT!?" — it corroborates that this is a recurring, specific allegation (not a one-off) against the same opposing counsel in the Saladino matter, worth noting for anyone cross-checking the Saladino-related litigation.

Did PAUL SALADINO TELL TABAN TO BOTCH ME?! · April 11, 2026

He called his judge buddies and maybe even spoke to Dr. Tibbon about botching me.

The most direct statement anywhere in this research that the Saladino-related dispute and the Taban eye-surgery dispute are, in his telling, one coordinated scheme rather than two separate matters. The video index assigns this video to the eye-surgery dispute with the Saladino/Taban overlap as its primary topic — the transcript confirms that framing exactly.

A dated damages and causation narrative naming a tracked party, in which the litigation is framed as something being done to him through what he calls a corrupt court system. The passage says six years and then five years; both are preserved as spoken.

This Lawyer should be DISBARRED · November 3, 2025

I guess Paul Saladino being a really connected Illuminati industry shill might explain that the connections that's why he's allowed to do whatever he wants and the judge sides with him.

Applies "Illuminati" to the opposing party in the same video that applies "Freemason" to the judge — the first archived instance of both being aimed at both sides of one case at once. An unevidenced accusation about a named, identifiable individual; captured only because he is a tracked party, with the same promotion caution recorded for “Best Bar THIEF Jake Levy MAKING MILLIONS OFF ME”.

This Lawyer should be DISBARRED · November 3, 2025

But the judge is bending over backwards for him and allowing this because they're all Freemason butt buddies and they're trying to screw me over to teach me a lesson that you can't defend yourself when Freemasons try to steal from you.

A dated datapoint on the secret-society thread, and an important one for its target: this is the theory aimed at a federal judge, four and a half months before C038 pleaded essentially the same theory against eight Lackawanna judges (filed 2026-03-23). The archive can now date the judges-are-Freemasons framing to 2025-11-03 in public statements, well before it entered a pleading.

Paul Saladino got me Kicked out of my Home and RUINED MY FAMILY · October 31, 2025

He served the default judgment on my family then filed a fraudulent affidavit of service which the judge is using to to try to steal money from me when I still haven't been served the judgment.

The archive already holds this allegation in the video “Will this CORRUPT JUDGE Help Paul Saladino GET AWAY WITH IT!?”, the video “Evil Judge Protects Weber SOLOMON of All Ways Forwarding”, the video “This Lawyer should be DISBARRED” and the video “Corrupt Judge issued an ILLEGAL ORDER”. This is the fifth instance and the most specific about the document involved — it is the default judgment that he says was served on his family under a false affidavit, and he asserts he still has not been served it personally. Logged as single-source repetition, not corroboration — all five are the same person saying the same thing. It also sits against a contrary court finding already in this research: per the video “Corrupt Judge issued an ILLEGAL ORDER”, the court found the defaults willful with no meritorious defence.

Two things at once. First, it describes how the case began — he publicised an accusation of idea-theft, the other side characterised that as "slander and defamation" and sued — which is the shape of C100, a defamation action brought against him. Second, it puts the Freemason/Illuminati theory onto the judiciary itself, six months before C059 added the judge who dismissed C048 as a defendant alongside Union Lodge #291, and six months before C030/C064 named Judge Nelson S. Román and Magistrate Judge Judith C. McCarthy as defendants. Those later filings are not announced here and no adjacency is claimed. Tier: Moderate (Judicial or forum bias alleged)

because uh basically this corrupt secret society Illuminati agent, whatever group he's a part of, is using his connection to likely Freemason judge uh to just go after me and ruin my life because this case is completely unjustified.

this is the only place the title's claim is actually spoken. Note he hedges it — "likely Freemason judge" — and at this point he names neither the plaintiff nor the judge. The judge is not named until [7:25]; the plaintiff is never named in the entire video (he states at [1:10] that the injunction bars him from doing so).
