Crown Royal case
| United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia *USA v. Hughes 2:09-cr-00002-RWS |
|---|
| Judge Story was the presiding judge of a person who committed a string of thirty robberies known as the "Crown Royal Bandit" by using Crown Royal Whiskey bags to hide the money he covered in bank robberies.[3] The judge handed down a 127 year federal prison sentence equal to life imprisonment after being convicted of committing nearly thirty bank robberies from 1997 to 2008. The person who committed the robberies was arrested in 2008 after a tip in a jail found the robber living with a person who was arrested for methamphetamine trafficking.[3] |
Courthouse mold case
| United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia |
|---|
| Judge Story dismissed a case filed against the General Services Administration by the children of the late Robert Klein, a former federal magistrate judge. The family sued the Government Services Administration over mold in the federal courthouse in Miami where the judge worked, claiming that GSA contractors did a poor job of re-modeling the courthouse. The case was dismissed after it was found that there was no jurisdiction of the case. [4] |
YMCA development case
| United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia *Forsyth County v. United States Army Corps of Engineers 2:08-CV-0126-RWS |
|---|
| On December 23, 2009, Judge Story denied an injunction against Forsyth County to halt the development process of the YMCA of Metro Atlanta to build on a 62 acre lakeside development. The Forsyth County Commission did not want the project, claiming the cash-strapped county would have to undergo a process of approving the permits that they claim is a costly and lengthy process. Attorneys for Forsyth County plan to appeal the case to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.[5] |
