Charles Asubonten v. Aurora Advisors Incorporated: Filed in Maryland February 2024, Dismissed April 2025, Appeal Dismissed July 2026, Motion to Reconsider Denied August 2026

By News on SantoshHub Oct 29, 2026 0

Below are some of the major pleadings in the Maryland District Court case, Charles Ausbonten versus Aurora Advisors Incorporated, lodged immediately after the Maryland District Court dismissed Charles Ausbonten versus Susan Webber. Key dates:

Filed February 2024
Dismissed without prejudice May 2024
Amended compliant filed August 2024
Dismissed October 2024
Appeal filed April 2025
Dismissal by district court affirmed by Appellate Court of Maryland in unrecorded decision July 2026
Motions to reconsider and remand denied August 2026

We have also included the docket at the very end of the post to give a fuller picture of the very considerable and highly skilled legal work performed by a team of attorneys at Cuneo Gilbert, with ex-Marine Mike Smith, now retired, leading the charge. Again, I am extremely grateful for their thorough, tenacious representation.

This partial compilation of filings and orders may seem like a lot (and it was a lot!) but lawyers might enjoy the cut and thrust. Laypeople can whet their appetites with Asubonten’s initial filing and sample the rest as they see fit.

To repeat the warning from our opening post, on the fresh Federal suit filed by Ausbonten in Federal court in the Northern District of Alabama:

Comments are turned off for this post and will be for all other posts with later filings from this case and from the earlier cases. Please do not waste your time trying to discuss these cases on other posts. We have set up ample measures to assure these comments will not appear.

As much as I would normally very much enjoy reader reactions and expressions of sympathy, please also do not e-mail me about these cases. Any such messages will be deleted unread.

If you want to help:

Please read the filings

Please circulate the posts widely, particularly to those who might be interested in learning about top-notch litigators, Greg Brockwell of Brockwell Smith in Birmingham, Alabama and Charles LaDuca and Brendan Thompson of Cuneo Gilbert Flannery & LaDuca in Washington DC. Mike Smith of Cuneo, to whom we will remain forever grateful for his patience, relentlessness, and careful investigation and drafting, has retired.
