J. Snowden finds a lower court improperly dismissed a sister's contract claims against her brother, who is a co-owner of a Greek shipping vessel company. The brother argued that his sister, who owns a separate maritime establishment, was obligated to make payments on a new vessel, which he owned, in order to bail out his sinking company. However, the sister presented sufficient evidence in court that her brother, as part of the agreement, failed to indemnify her for millions of trading losses he incurred. Reversed.

J. Totenberg partially rules in favor of election officials in a civil rights action brought by an election security non-profit alleging that Georgia's statewide electronic voting system suffers from cybersecurity deficiencies. The officials' motion for summary judgment is granted as to moot claims related to the state's old direct recording electronic voting system but denied as to the non-profit's due process and equal protection claims related to the current Dominion ballot marking device system. The non-profit presented evidence supporting its allegations related to concerns about the proper counting of members' votes cast on the ballot marking device system, including evidence about the 2021 Coffee County election equipment breach and its potential to increase the risk of a future attack on the current configuration of the voting system. Fulton County's motion for summary judgment is granted because the county lacks direct authority over the state's choice of voting system. A bench trial is set for Jan. 9, 2024.

J. Casper denies protesters’ motion for injunctive relief after they believed their First Amendment rights were violated when they were told they were not allowed to protest the innocence of a woman accused of murder directly outside the property of a potential witness. The government has a right to interfere with the protesters’ protests to protect the potential witness from being too intimidated to give truthful testimony, which would then impede the administration of justice in the murder trial.
