How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• noting that any error caused by the dis- trict court’s invocation of a local rule did not affect Stanciel’s substantial rights and was therefore harmless
• affirming a district court that “dismiss[ed] [the plaintiff]’s official capacity and state tort claims due to [his] failure to respond to defendants’ arguments concerning these issues”
• “[I]t is well established that an attorney's shortcomings do not entitle his client to a new trial in a civil case.”
• court’s error in dismissing for improper service certain defendants who had been served was harmless where allegations against dismissed defendants mirrored allegations against defendants that jury found not liable
