Geoffrey M. Young v. Adam Edelen, et al.
Paid petition · Court of Appeals of Kentucky, No. 2019-CA-001443-MR
Before the decision, well below the 4.1% base rate, with no standout signals pointing toward a grant.
Questions presented
I filed a lawsuit in 2019 against 33 defendants for conspiracy to rig several primary elections.
-
May any trial court in Kentucky dismiss all allegations against most of the defendants, before discovery, for failure to state a claim, without ever construing the complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff and without ever making any goodfaith findings of fact?
-
Under those circumstances, may Kentucky's trial and appellate courts impose sanctions against the plaintiff?
-
If a trial court dismisses a lawsuit without ever making any good-faith findings of fact, are Kentucky's two appellate courts under an affirmative duty to reverse the trial court's orders and require the trial court to make good-faith findings of fact?
