David Hatchigian v. John Whelan

Summary

The Court summarily affirmed dismissal of Hatchigian’s claims arising from an earlier state-court dispute. It held that removal was proper despite the lack of consent from defendants who had not been properly served, and that the complaint failed because the judicial claims were immune, the conspiracy and tort allegations were inadequately pleaded, and the requested injunctive relief and attorney’s fees were unavailable. The Court also upheld the denial of recusal.
