Date Filed Document Text
August 5, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 178 ORDER - The standard governing a motion to alter is difficult to meet, and Irondale does not point to case law which compels the Court to reexamine its position. Accordingly, the Court denies the City of Irondale's motion to amend the judgment on the pleadings in favor of Norfolk. Signed by Judge Madeline Hughes Haikala on 8/5/2022. Associated Cases: 2:13-cv-01305-MHH, 2:11-cv-01047-MHH, 2:14-cv-00283-MHH(KEK)
March 25, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 98 MEMORANDUM OPINION - For the foregoing reasons, the pleadings show no disputes of material fact, and the plaintiffs are entitled to judgment as a matter of law because the State of Alabama's sales and use tax on diesel fuel used by rail carriers in Alabama violates the 4-R Act so long as water carriers operating in the state are exempt from the tax. Accordingly, by separate order, the Court will grant the plaintiffs' motions for judgment on the pleadings with respect to all defendants except for the City of Irondale and its Treasurer, James Stewart, because the pleadings are not closed with respect to those two defendants. Signed by Judge Madeline Hughes Haikala on 3/24/2021. Associated Cases: 2:11-cv-01047-MHH, 2:13-cv-01305-MHH, 2:14-cv-00283-MHH(KEK)
