Background

Jason Stanford, doing business as Motor Carrier No.1476454 Rollin’ Smoke at the Attache, appealed a judgment of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas in litigation against England Logistics, L.L.C.; CR England, Incorporated; King of Freight, L.L.C.; and England Carrier Services, L.L.C.

The Fifth Circuit’s brief per curiam opinion does not describe the underlying facts, claims, district court ruling, or arguments on appeal. The appeal proceeded on the court’s summary calendar.

The Court’s Holding

After reviewing the parties’ briefs and the record, the Fifth Circuit found no reversible error and affirmed the district court’s judgment.

The court cited Fifth Circuit Rule 47.6 and provided no further reasoning. The opinion states that it is not designated for publication under Fifth Circuit Rule 47.5.

Key Takeaways

  • The Fifth Circuit affirmed the district court’s judgment in full.
  • The panel found no reversible error after reviewing the briefs and record.
  • The unpublished per curiam opinion does not disclose the case’s underlying facts, legal issues, or the panel’s reasoning.

Why It Matters

The decision leaves the district court’s judgment intact but offers no substantive appellate analysis for attorneys to apply in other cases. Any assessment of the dispute’s factual or legal significance requires review of the district court record and the parties’ appellate briefs.
