Review indicators →After reviewing the cited cases, the court said the magistrate judge's description of Tufano as a 'prodigious, but prodigiously unsuccessful, pro se litigant' was not inaccurate; the order's footnote said Clerk records showed 38 M.D. Pa. lawsuits since Dec. 2023 and that many had been dismissed.
Court source ↗Claims against EVA, All-Ways, Solomon and Worldwide Flight Services were dismissed without prejudice; claims against U.S. Customs and Border Protection were dismissed with prejudice.
Court source ↗An indexed July 8 ruling states the court granted ASOPRS's motion to quash service for lack of personal jurisdiction. Although ASOPRS also argued that Tufano had become a vexatious litigant, the ruling states that issue was beyond the scope of the motion to quash and would require a separate motion. A separately retrieved final minute-order body has not been obtained.
