TTA Services LLC v. Deep South Signs LLC and Morgan Descant

TTA Services LLC filed a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order against Deep South Signs LLC and Morgan Descant, seeking emergency injunctive relief in connection with allegations of a years-long bribery and kickback scheme involving a project manager at a national sign company. The plaintiff alleged that Morgan Descant, a former consultant and principal, paid approximately 10% of contract fees back to the project manager and engaged in unfair competition that reduced TTA's receipts from nine national sign company accounts to less than 10% of 2022 levels. After reviewing the law, facts, and arguments, the Court denied the motion without requiring a reply from Plaintiff.

Joseph Trim v. B. Thompsion et al. - Excessive Force Civil Rights

United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana ordered incarcerated plaintiff Joseph Trim to file an amended complaint by May 12, 2026, after finding his original § 1983 civil rights complaint failed to state specific facts showing each defendant's personal participation in an alleged excessive force incident. The court identified that Trim broke two ribs and noted that merely asserting bare claims without detailing each defendant's individual conduct is insufficient under Ashcroft v. Iqbal.
