Judge Robert Sweet
Naughright’s Dec. 2011 amended complaint alleged injuries stemming from treatments, on Nov. 8, by defendants Karan Weiss and Urban Zen LLC (collectively the Karan Defendants). The court’s March 7, 2012, opinion dismissed a negligent misrepresentation claim against the Karan Defendants. It also denied dismissal of a negligence claim against defendant Robbins, partly dismissed a fraud claim against Robbins, and denied dismissal of medical malpractice battery and failure to obtain consent claims against Robbins. The court granted the Karan Defendants partial judgment under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). Determining that the March 7, dismissals constituted judgment on the merits, and noting that Naughright did not oppose the Karan Defendants’ motion, the court found no just reason to delay judgment’s entry. However, despite amending the case caption, the court denied the Karan Defendants an injunction barring Naughright’s continuation of suit, or bringing further action, under 28 USC §§1927 and 1651(a). The Karan Defendants showed no irreparable injury nor showed that Naughright’s history of filing repetitive lawsuits against or involving public figures surpassed the threshold set in In re Martin-Trigona.
