Michael Devin Floyd v. 24 Hour Fitness USA, LLC

IFP petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, No. 25-4460 · judgment July 22, 2026


Pending

Questions presented

  1. Whether a federal district court violates a civil litigant’s Fifth Amendment Due Process rights by refusing a plaintiff’s motion to compel the disclosure of witnesses, and subsequently granting summary judgment to the defendant based entirely on anonymous declarations from those same concealed witnesses?

  2. Whether an unauthenticated declaration from an unidentifiable individual satisfies the strict admissibility and competency requirements for summary judgment, mandated by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(c)(4)?

  3. Whether a federal court can weigh credibility and resolve disputes of material fact at the summary judgment stage by adopting anonymous allegations as true over conflicting, physical business records?

  4. Whether a business can insulate itself from false arrest liability of its customer when its managers explicitly ordered the unlawful citizen's arrest and subsequently terminated its customer's contract?
