U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Thunderfoot v. USA
September 2, 2026
Summary
The Ninth Circuit affirmed the district court’s dismissal of Thunderfoot’s complaint for failure to satisfy Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8 and likewise affirmed the dismissal of the related state law claims under 28 U.S.C. §1367(c)(3), finding the complaint overly verbose, confusing, and conclusory and that amendment would be futile.
