Background

Marvin Josue Santos Paz brought an action against Raymond Thompson and other respondents in the Southern District of Texas.

The supplied document is a one-page final judgment. It refers to a separate Memorandum Opinion and Order granting the respondents’ motion for summary judgment but does not describe the claims, facts, or reasoning underlying that ruling.

The Court’s Holding

In accordance with its Memorandum Opinion and Order granting the respondents’ motion for summary judgment, the court dismissed the action with prejudice.

The court ordered that costs be taxed against Santos Paz and designated the judgment as final.

Key Takeaways

  • The respondents obtained summary judgment.
  • The action was dismissed with prejudice, preventing the petitioner from refiling the same claims.
  • Costs were taxed against the petitioner.

Why It Matters

The judgment conclusively ends the district-court action on the merits and establishes the operative disposition for purposes of post-judgment proceedings or an appeal.

The supplied judgment does not reveal the substantive basis for summary judgment; that analysis appears in the separate Memorandum Opinion and Order referenced by the court.
