Executive Summary

The court denied pro se plaintiff Richard Cordero's successive motions for reconsideration of the January 2025 dismissal of his claims against Maximus Federal Services (a subsidiary of MAXIMUS, Inc.) on judicial and sovereign immunity grounds. The ruling is purely procedural — it does not revive the case against Maximus, which was already dismissed and is on appeal. No new financial exposure or operational impact arises for MAXIMUS.

Key Facts

  • Maximus Federal Services was dismissed from the case on January 31, 2025, on immunity grounds.
  • Plaintiff's motions for reconsideration were denied as untimely, repetitive, and procedurally barred.
  • The court certified that any appeal would not be taken in good faith, denying in forma pauperis status.
  • No damages, injunctions, or new liabilities were imposed on Maximus.
  • The underlying case involves a pro se plaintiff's claims against HHS, EmblemHealth, and Maximus — no material financial exposure.

Financial Impact

No damages awarded or sought against Maximus in this ruling; the case against Maximus was dismissed months earlier.

Risk Factors

  • Plaintiff may pursue appeal to the Second Circuit, but the court has already certified any appeal as not taken in good faith, suggesting low likelihood of success.
