Appellate layer verified against the courts’ own dockets (September 10, 2026)

Every appellate docket in the tracker was checked against the reviewing court's own record. Thirteen of the twenty unresolved rows now carry a verified status or disposition, and three appeals that were not in the tracker at all were found and added.

Four Pennsylvania Superior Court appeals were read from that court's own docket sheets. Two were quashed sua sponte and dismissed on the same day, July 10, 2026: No. 711 MDA 2026 because the order appealed from was not final, and No. 723 MDA 2026 because an order denying recusal and a stay is not appealable and because appellate jurisdiction over tort claims against a county lay exclusively in the Commonwealth Court. Each was also dismissed for non-payment of the $91.25 filing fee, and reconsideration in each was denied on August 21, 2026. The other two, Nos. 1154 and 1155 MDA 2026, are active and briefing.

On the federal side, the Third Circuit appeal in the Fenix Internet action was dismissed on July 23, 2025 for failure to prosecute after the fee went unpaid, six months after the district court had certified that the appeal was not taken in good faith. Two of the three Ninth Circuit appeals in the Taban action were terminated by mandates of September 26, 2025 and January 12, 2026. In the Saladino action, the Second Circuit denied a stay of the judgment on August 12, 2026 and directed that the two consolidated appeals continue in the ordinary course.

Three appeals were added. A statewide party sweep of the Pennsylvania appellate courts - a search no earlier pass had run - turned up No. 1156 MDA 2026, an active Superior Court appeal in the PPL companion action. A Third Circuit sweep turned up No. 26-3303, docketed September 9, 2026, one day before this pass and eight days after the district court closed that case. And reading the Northern District of California docket in full recovered No. 26-2213, the second Ninth Circuit appeal in the Google action, whose number had never been recorded.

That last one closes a question the dataset had carried open: the two mandates of June 22, 2026 in that action belong to Nos. 26-146 and 26-2213. The appellate corpus is now 30 dockets.

Note

Where a court's disposition could not be read, the row says so and says what was tried. Three appeals remain without a recovered docket number, and the outcome of Second Circuit No. 25-2065 is still not established: a mandate is recorded on the district docket for January 22, 2026, but the document is not in the free record and the entry does not name which appeal it ends. Six Third Circuit appeals docketed during 2026 are recorded as pending on the strength of an open appellate docket rather than a read disposition, because neither the appellate court's mirrored docket nor the district docket below carries one yet.
