[6] In the case of State of Tennessee v. Robert Glen Coe, Trauger issued a stay a mere 16 hours prior to his scheduled execution.
"[11] On February 22, 2016, in United States of America v. Matt DeHart, Trauger sentenced Matt DeHart — an American citizen and former U.S. Air National Guard intelligence analyst known for his involvement with the Anonymous hacker group and WikiLeaks, as well as claims to have received classified documents alleging serious misconduct by the CIA — to 72 months for the porn charges and an additional 18 months for fleeing the country.
[15] The class-action settled for $11,000,000, but only twenty-three percent of those eligible to receive a portion could be contacted to file a claim, resulting in only $2.2 million being paid out.
The law would have fined groups that pay workers should too many incomplete registration forms be submitted, and would have criminalized intentional infractions of a new set of rules with misdemeanor charges.
The ACLU then dropped the suit with the plaintiffs requesting reimbursement for legal expenses from the State, which was awarded by the District Court.
[24] On July 9, 2021, in the case Bongo Productions LLC, et al v. Lawrence et al, Trauger issued a preliminary injunction blocking a Tennessee law that would require businesses and other entities that allow transgender people to use the public restroom that matches their preferred gender to post a government-prescribed warning sign.
[25] The lawsuit argued that the law violated the First Amendment rights of the businesses by forcing them to post notices that they disagreed with and found offensive.
[29] On March 5, 2024, Trauger issued a ruling regarding Concord Music Group, Inc., et al v. X Corp., d/b/a Twitter in which she found that the platform could not be held directly responsible for the infringements that its users engaged in, but that plaintiffs can present the argument that a lack of DMCA enforcement against serial infringers, despite being aware of the problem, makes X liable.
The ruling also acknowledged that if plaintiffs prove the platform intentionally delayed or ignored valid DMCA takedown notices, X may be found liable for contributing to the piracy.
