Sudler v. King Star Gas Station et al

The court dismissed Sudler v. King Star Gas Station et al, docket 25-cv-01470, by order dated April 20, 2026. No judge has been assigned to the docket, and the court of record has not been confirmed, but the dismissal order is the operative event.

The underlying claims are not detailed in the available record. The case caption names King Star Gas Station and unnamed additional defendants. Without a complaint summary or cause-of-action designation on file, the precise theory Sudler advanced — whether employment, tort, civil rights, or contract — cannot be confirmed from the current docket.

The April 20 order dismissed the case. The docket entry reads 'Order Dismissing Case (4,' which suggests the dismissal may have been entered under a specific rule or numbered basis, but the truncated entry does not specify whether the court acted sua sponte, on a defendant's motion, or for a procedural defect such as failure to prosecute or lack of subject-matter jurisdiction.

The dismissal's finality turns on whether it was entered with or without prejudice. A dismissal without prejudice leaves Sudler free to refile. A dismissal with prejudice ends the claim.

The current record does not resolve that question. If Sudler wants to appeal, the clock on a notice of appeal — typically 30 days in federal civil cases — runs from the date of the dismissal order.
