Taban / eye-surgery-related litigation

Frank Tufano's lawsuits over eye surgery by Mehryar Ray Taban, MD: seven docket records filed 2025-2026 in California, Pennsylvania and federal courts.

Cases in this group

Dated chronology

Transfer / federal action opened

The Taban malpractice action was transferred from M.D. Pa. and opened in the Central District of California as 2:25-cv-00147.

California state complaint filed

Tufano filed California Superior Court case 25SMCV00041 concerning the Taban medical/surgery dispute.

AAO demurrer sustained without leave

The American Academy of Ophthalmology obtained a demurrer ruling without leave to amend in 25SMCV00041.

ASOPRS service quashed / MBC demurrer sustained

The state court granted ASOPRS's motion to quash for lack of personal jurisdiction and sustained the Medical Board's demurrer without leave to amend.

Sanction imposed (complaint dismissed on order to show cause)

At the combined case management conference and order to show cause re sanctions, with no appearance by or for Plaintiff, the court found no cause had been shown and imposed sanctions by dismissing the first amended complaint without prejudice. The same order advanced and vacated all five discovery motions set for Oct. 16, 2025.

Second California state complaint filed

A second California Superior Court Taban case, 25SMCV05503, was filed.

Partial dismissal of Taban defendants

The court adopted the report and recommendation and dismissed only the Taban defendants for lack of personal jurisdiction, leaving the action pending against TikTok and remanding the matter to the chief magistrate judge.

Federal complaint filed

Tufano filed C063 in M.D. Pa. against the State of California, Taban and related defendants.

Concurrent state complaint filed

A Lackawanna County complaint underlying C035/C066 was dated the same day as C063.

Removal to federal court

The Lackawanna action was removed to M.D. Pa. as C066.

Parallel show-cause orders

Both C063 and C066 dockets reflect April 8 show-cause orders concerning improper venue and possible transfer/dismissal.

Venue show-cause orders in Pennsylvania

The M.D. Pa. court issued show-cause orders addressing improper venue in the parallel Taban-related federal matters.

Plaintiff acknowledges duplicate matters

Tufano filed a request asking whether the removed action would return to state court because there were 'two identical Federal matters' causing confusion.

Pretrial conference / remote appearance / trial vacated

At the July 6 pretrial conference, Plaintiff appeared remotely after the Court granted his request, but the order states he refused to turn on his camera. The Court learned he was proceeding without expert witnesses and vacated the July 14 jury trial.

ASOPRS service quashed in second California case

The court granted ASOPRS's motion to quash service for lack of personal jurisdiction in C102.

Embedded vexatious request not adjudicated

ASOPRS argued within its motion-to-quash proceeding that Tufano had become a vexatious litigant; the court stated the request was beyond the scope of that motion and would require a separate motion.

Public statement about trial attendance

A public post/video stated that Taban's lawyer was arguing Tufano was medically fit for trial and framed the issue as forcing a sick patient to attend trial.

Plaintiff health filing

Tufano filed a statement of his current physical health in the C.D. California action.

Final dismissal

C071 (Tufano v. Eriksson et al., naming Anthony Eriksson, Mehryar Ray Taban MD, and Mehryar Taban MD Inc.) was dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction after the district court adopted a Report & Recommendation and denied Tufano's TRO motion.

Medical Board dismissal motion filed

The Medical Board of California filed a motion to dismiss C063 for failure to state a claim, together with a request for judicial notice.

Appeal docketed

Tufano's appeal of the C071 dismissal was docketed at the Third Circuit as No. 26-2996; appellees (Anthony Eriksson, Mehryar Ray Taban MD, Mehryar Taban MD Inc.) entered an appearance through counsel Kimberly D. Borland, and the district court record was transmitted via CM/ECF, both the same day.

Sua sponte summary judgment / conditional dismissal

The court excluded Plaintiff's expert testimony, denied the continuance and disqualification motions, granted Defendant's expert-testimony motions in limine, and entered sua sponte summary judgment for Defendant.

Post-order motion practice

Three days after the Aug. 7, 2026 order granting summary judgment, a filing docketed as "Continue AND Disqualify Judge AND In Limine - Preclude AND In Limine - Preclude" was entered (ECF 152). Further entries followed on Aug. 14, Aug. 17 and Aug. 24, 2026.

Statement of disqualification stricken

An order striking Tufano's statement of disqualification and verified answer was signed and filed in 25SMCV05503, the day before his motion for reconsideration was denied.

Reconsideration denied

The Los Angeles Superior Court denied Tufano's motion for reconsideration of the July 14, 2026 dismissal, holding that the motion did not satisfy the requirements of Code of Civil Procedure section 1008. The order also records that an order striking Tufano's statement of disqualification had been signed and filed the previous day.

Order setting opposition deadline

Magistrate Judge Phillip J. Caraballo ordered Tufano to file a brief opposing the Medical Board of California’s motion to dismiss by Sept. 3, 2026, failing which the motion could be deemed unopposed and the action dismissed under Rule 41.

Opposition brief filed

Tufano filed his brief in opposition to the Medical Board of California’s motion to dismiss, ten days before the deadline. Briefing is complete and no ruling has issued.

Appeal filed

A notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit was docketed in the C.D. California action as entry 156, followed by entry 157 (Aug. 27, "Vacate") and entry 158 (Aug. 28, "USCA Notification of Case Number"). This is a third Ninth Circuit appeal in this action, after Nos. 25-4324 and 25-7397.

Public statements by filing-restriction factor

99 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.

When will Taban ADMIT DEFEAT?! · August 23, 2026

The judges are just paid off in dismissing my lawsuits, but that doesn't matter because I'm just going to keep filing appeals and keep refiling the lawsuits.

A public statement that adverse rulings will not end the filings, coupled with an allegation of judicial corruption as the explanation for them. Directly on point to the "repeated/escalatory filing" statement type this dataset already tracks — and materially stronger than the existing title-only rows, because it states the intent in terms ("keep refiling") rather than reporting an outcome. Note this is a party's public statement, not a court finding or a research classification.

This is directly on-point for the site's own vexatious-litigant research category (under this research's evidence-layer separation, this is the party's own public statement about a court ruling — not itself a verified court finding — and should be checked against the actual docket before being treated as confirmed).

Identifies the case specifically — the Taban matter in the Central District of California, which matches C046 (filed M.D. Pa. as 3:25-cv-00011 and since transferred; the case tracker records its status as "Closed / conditional 60-day cure window in C.D. California"). It also dates a third attempt at the same discovery request, which is a checkable docket fact.

Day in my Life after BEING BOTCHED · September 5, 2025

So, it took like an hour to see the judge, but uh this Tabon State Court case is kind of being a pain because the judge is obviously working in favor of the doctor and I have a case active in federal court that actually takes…

The strongest of the statements researched from this video, and its only Strong-tier candidate. Both Strong conditions are met on the transcript alone. 1. It names a tracked dispute. “Tabon” is one of the documented caption misspellings of Taban and corrects at a single letter. “This Tabon State Court case” is C101 Frank Tufano v. Mehryar Ray Taban, MD et al. (Superior Court of California, LA County, 25SMCV00041, filed 2025-01-06, then live); “a case active in federal court … against him” is C046 Tufano v. Taban et al, opened in the Central District of California on 2025-01-03 and then live. Both belong to the Taban eye-surgery dispute group. 2. It describes core filing conduct. He states, as a present fact about his own litigation, that he is maintaining two concurrent actions on the same grievance against the same defendant in two forums, and reasons about which to prosecute first. That is Repeat filing on the same dispute in the speaker's own words — the exact conduct the dataset's recorded chronology for this dispute describes as the California/Taban concurrent duplicate sequence. A more conservative reading would hold that describing an existing posture is Filing announced or confirmed (not a core factor) and classify this as Moderate, on the ground that he narrates duplication rather than announcing a new filing; the Strong classification rests on the sentence treating the two cases as alternative routes to the same relief against the same person, which is the substance the core factor is meant to capture. The prospective motion to stay is a separate, non-core element and is deliberately not stacked into the factor list. A tier and a factor are research classifications of what the speaker said — not a judicial finding, and not a vexatious-litigant determination.

US Customs lets $20,000 of WAGYU BEEF ROT!!! Frank Tufano v. All Ways Forwarding · August 6, 2025

This is the This is Dr. Tobant getting my Tik Tok taken down. This is uh Shopify getting transferred to federal court. This is the guy that sold me all the broken restaurant equipment. There's like three different Tabon cases.

He states, in his own words and in the present tense, that he is running three concurrent actions against the same defendant on the same grievance. That is the repeat-filing core factor stated by the speaker rather than inferred by a researcher, and the defendant is a tracked party (Dr. Taban, in the Taban eye-surgery dispute group). The count checks out against the tracked record: as of 2025-08-06, C046 (M.D. Pa., filed 2025-01-02), C101 (LA Superior, filed 2025-01-06) and C053 (M.D. Pa., filed 2025-06-27 — the TikTok removal, in which Taban and Mehryar Taban MD Inc are named defendants) were all live. He also names the TikTok takedown and the Shopify removal in the same breath, tying two more tracked matters to the same account. One classification caveat, stated for transparency: the tier rests on a caption correction. The auto-captions render the name as “Tobant” and “Tabon”, spellings that match no tracked party; only the correction to Taban identifies the defendant, and a reader who declines to rest a tier on a corrected proper noun would read this as Moderate. The Strong classification stands because the same video’s captions render “Dr. Taban” correctly at 17:22 and the video’s own description spells “Dr. Taban” correctly four times, so the party’s identity is not in genuine doubt.

Doctor Files Restraining Order AGAINST HIS HALF BLIND PATIENT 😂😂😂 · June 23, 2025

How about you issue a restraining order against Dr. Taban to anyone that walks in his office so he doesn't disfigure their face and make them half blind like he did to me. I mean, that's that's my idea. But the reason I think he did this…

He states an exact filing date for a proceeding he commenced — June 6, 2025 — against a tracked defendant on a dispute already in litigation. As of that date, C046 (M.D. Pa., filed 2025-01-02) and C101 (LA Superior, filed 2025-01-06) were both live against Taban and his practice. A separate restraining-order petition against the same party over the same underlying grievance is Repeat filing on the same dispute — the core factor — stated by the speaker in his own words, with a date, about a tracked dispute.

Taban sends POLICE TO HARASS ME!? · June 19, 2025

police vehicle. And I identified the documentation as a restraining order filed by Dr. to bond against me, which is ironic because I just filed a restraining order against him last week for getting my Tik Tok taken down.

In one sentence he describes two court proceedings that the case tracker does not hold, and states the grievance behind his own: "for getting my Tik Tok taken down" — which is the same grievance already pleaded in C014, filed in Lackawanna County on 2025-06-06, thirteen days before this published, and removed to federal court as C053. C014's recorded claims summary states the pleaded theory: "Dr. Taban retained Lavely & Singer to get his TikTok account banned so he could no longer discuss the surgery with followers." He is therefore describing bringing a second, separate proceeding on a grievance he had put before a court under a fortnight earlier. Tier: Strong (Repeat filing on the same dispute; Filing announced or confirmed). Why Strong, stated so the call is auditable: the rubric needs a tracked case or dispute and a core factor. Both parties named — Taban (tracked both individually and through his practice entities) and TikTok — are co-defendants in C053 and identify the Taban eye-surgery and TikTok dispute groups unambiguously. The core factor is Repeat filing on the same dispute: a new proceeding on a grievance already litigated, not an appeal within C014. What does not follow: the restraining-order petitions themselves have no tracked docket. A search across the case tracker, the claims summaries and the recorded litigation timeline returns only restraining orders and TROs Tufano himself sought inside other actions; nothing records a standalone restraining-order proceeding in either direction. Neither proceeding may be entered as a fact without a docket.

Seeking Taban’s Victims for CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT · June 8, 2025

In order to file a lawsuit against Dr. Tibbon, I would like to have at least 20 of his patients, probably five at a minimum.

A prospective, conditional, multi-claimant action against Dr. Taban (Mehryar Ray Taban MD and Mehryar Taban MD Inc, the eye-surgery dispute), announced with an explicit participation threshold — a preferred 20, a floor of five. Nothing of this shape exists anywhere in the case tracker: all three tracked Taban actions are single-plaintiff, captioned Tufano v. or Frank Tufano v., and none is pleaded as a class or collective action. Two of them (C046, M.D. Pa. 3:25-cv-00011, filed 2025-01-02; C101, LA Superior 25SMCV00041, filed 2025-01-06) were already pending when this published, and the third (C102, filed 2025-10-23, 137 days later) is likewise single-plaintiff. Tier: Moderate (Threatened or prospective filing). Why not Strong, stated so the call is auditable: the case link is firm — a tracked defendant is named on the transcript. But Threatened or prospective filing is not a core factor, and the Strong rubric requires one. The rubric makes this call, not judgement: announcing a suit not yet made cannot reach Strong however well the party is identified.

Dr. Taban Threatens me for Slander AFTER BUTCHERING MY FACE · March 19, 2025

Just when I thought Dr. Tibbon couldn't be a more disgusting, delusional, psychopathic doctor, he threatens me that I'm making defamatory and nonprotected statements.

A dated, first-person account of receiving a legal threat from the surgeon at the centre of the largest dispute group in the dataset. The legal-threat vocabulary ("defamatory and non-protected statements") is the language of a cease-and-desist / defamation demand, and the statement dates the threat to on or before the publish date.

How disgusting of a human being do you have to be to then hire a law firm and pay someone to hide the truth about what you did to someone? It's completely disgusting. I hope they file a lawsuit.

He states that the surgeon has retained a law firm, and invites the threatened suit ("I hope they file a lawsuit").

Three specific, docket-checkable instances of a claimed pattern — surgery rendering him unable to respond, an unopposed defense filing, and an adverse ruling. Each has a month attached (December, May, November 2025) and the second names the procedure and city. This is the most concrete account in this research of why filings went unanswered in the California state matters, and it is directly checkable against C101/C102's docket and against the batch-6 finding that C101 was dismissed for failure to file a case-management statement. It also bears on the recurring question of whether non-responses were inability or default.

Two separate filings confirmed in his own words, one of them against a defendant he names verbatim. The Social Security suit maps to the tracked New York action, which was filed 2025-07-02 and pending at publication; the doctor is never named, so the two California actions are a dataset-derived inference. The framing that he has had to sue, and the complaint that the doctor's case is being drawn out, are both worth preserving as spoken.

So, we filed this motion to dismiss for insufficient service of process. We filed another motion to get rid of this biased judge and I filed a whole bunch of other stuff asking for sanctions against them.

Three distinct filings claimed, all checkable. The disqualification motion matches what the research already holds from three days either side of this: a researched statement of 2025-07-10 — "I'm going to file… a motion to disqualify the judge" — and a published statement of 2025-07-11 — "Motion to recuse and demand for jury trial. In a hearing that occurred on July 10th, 2025, Judge Edward B. Morton Jr. has shown undeniable bias." So on 2025-07-10 it is stated as an intention and by 2025-07-13 as done: this video is the confirmation of a filing the dataset otherwise holds only as a stated intent. The first of the three claimed filings does not fit his posture. He is the plaintiff in every tracked matter in this dispute (C046, C101, C102), and a plaintiff does not move to dismiss his own case for insufficient service. Either he means a motion directed at the defendants' service of their papers on him, or the description is loose. Neither reading is adopted; the tension is recorded rather than resolved.

An appellate-intent statement with an unusually close docket neighbour. The case tracker records for C046 that “Two Ninth Circuit appeals are on file in this action… No. 25-4324 (docketed July 14, 2025; opening brief filed Aug. 8, 2025).” This video was published 2025-07-13, the day before. A competing and equally available referent: another researched statement, from a video of 2025-07-11, records him saying “Judge Edward B.

Both readings are recorded; neither is adopted. Note also that a direct appeal within the same case is deliberately not Filing after an adverse decision under the published rubric — that factor means a new or repeat action, not the ordinary appellate remedy.

A dated assessment that, almost two years after the surgery, nothing had produced any consequence for the surgeon. The surname is an auto-caption garble resolved against the alias list, and no case or court is named.

Judge FRAUDULENTLY Dismissed my Case · October 17, 2025

The judge dismissed my case for failing to submit a case management statement, but I mailed that to the court and all defendant parties in July. Well, basically August, but still several months ago.

States the specific procedural ground on which a case was dismissed. This is the detail that identifies the underlying proceeding — "case management statement" is California civil-procedure terminology (CM-110), and the case tracker records an Oct. 13, 2025 minute order in C101 (25SMCV00041, LA County Superior Court) indexed as an Order to Show Cause re sanctions for failure to submit a case-management statement, four days before this video's publish date.

A dated, first-person account of a claimed incapacity covering "the first few months of this year" — January to roughly April 2025 — and of the court rejecting his explanation. This is the same claimed incapacity that, more than a year later, the C.D. Cal. court in C046 found unsupported: the recorded court findings include Judge Stephen V. Wilson's 2026-08-07 order citing "insufficient medical support for claimed incapacity, public video activity inconsistent with that claimed incapacity." Recording the July 2025 version of the claim in his own words gives that later finding an earlier baseline to be read against. Tier: Moderate (Adverse outcome described).

This passage is sarcastic throughout and inverts on a flat read. What he is actually saying is that the restraining order's factual basis is not truthful and that the doctor's stated fear is not legitimate — he mocks it by listing innocuous activities (the DMV, walking his dog) as the conduct supposedly complained of. The research-relevant fact is that he acknowledges, on camera, that a restraining order exists against him in the Taban matter — an adverse ruling reported as a docket fact, which is what Adverse outcome described covers. It is not filing conduct, so the tier is Moderate. He gives no court, docket number, date or judge for the order.

Names a specific, checkable category of filing — requests to postpone or continue — made before 2025-06-10 in the case identified above. That is a concrete docket cross-reference point: C101's register of actions on the LA Superior CAP portal would show whether continuance requests were filed and how they were disposed of. Note that C101 was later dismissed as an OSC sanction for non-appearance (2025-10-13), which is the opposite failure mode from the one alleged here — a tension worth carrying into any claims pass.
