As the district court saw it and as the government sees it, Webster deserves the enhancement. He pretended to “act[ ] on behalf of a charitable ... organization,” U.S.S.G. § 2Bl.l(b)(9)(A), when he solicited personal information from the victims on behalf of fake charities. As Webster sees it, the enhancement does not apply. In his view, the commentary limits the application of the charity enhancement, and he was not acting to obtain a benefit on behalf of a charitable organization (as the commentary seems to require). As a general matter, the text of a guideline trumps commentary about it. See Stinson v. United States, 508 U.S. 36, 38, 113 S.Ct. 1913, 123 L.Ed.2d 598 (1993) ().

See id.; see also United States v. Moscatiello, 771 F.2d 589, 597 (1st Cir.1985), vacated on other grounds, 476 U.S. 1138, 106 S.Ct. 2241, 90 L.Ed.2d 688 (1986).

Tolin, 41 S.W.3d 118, 122-23 (Tex.2001), which held that, when policy gives absolute right to settle third-party claims, courts are not permitted to “engraft any consent requirement onto [the] policy”). The court recognized a separate issue was presented on whether the insurer owed extra-contractual duties to prudently investigate and settle claims. Id. However, because the policy gave the insurer the right to settle claims, its discretion in investigating and paying claims was not contractually limited. Id. Consequently, the court held the insured had no breach of contract action against the insurer as a matter of law. See id. at 89-90; see also Dear, 947 S.W.2d at 913-15 ().

As support for Plaintiff’s Brief in Opposition to Defendant’s Motion for Summary Judgment, Plaintiff submitted an expert opinion regarding standard insurance claims practices. We have read and considered the expert opinion, however we find that the expert opinion does not create a dispute of material fact in this matter. 9 . Section 8371 provides: In an action arising under an insurance policy, if tire court finds that the insurer has acted in bad faith toward the insured, the court may take all of the following actions: (1)Award inter 104 (E.D.Pa.1992) (); Coyne v.

However, Dr. Banks concedes that evaluations and CSFs are not applied consistently between regions or between supervisors in the same regions, and that their assessments of employees are not comparable; “essentially their evaluations do not permit ‘apples to apples’ comparisons” (id. at 17-18, 27). This incomparability undermines plaintiffs claim of commonality: even if one supervisor used Allstate’s subjective employment practices “as a mask for discrimination,” that does not inexorably lead to the conclusion that any other supervisors did so. See, e.g., Morrison v. Panduit Corp., No. 03-3081, 2004 WL 3049816, at **2, 5 (7th Cir. Dec.21, 2004) ().

On appeal, the Fifth Circuit interpreted the phrase “arising under the instrument” in the declaratory judgment act to mean that the Texas courts could declare invalid only particular provisions of a will that has already been admitted to probate. Kausch, 470 F.2d at 1070. The court found that under the declaratory judgment act Texas courts “have no power to conduct an independent inquiry into the validity of the will as a testamentary instrument.” Id. Consequently, the federal court found that it lacked jurisdiction over the plaintiffs claim. Other courts have foúnd that actions to declare a will invalid under state declaratory judgment acts do not lie for various reasons. See Corron v. Corron, 40 Ohio St.3d 75, 79, 531 N.E.2d 708, 712 (1988) () (quoting Davidson v.

The parties therefore simply implied that delivery could occur at the same time as the execution of the Dation. Any additional physical delivery of the Boat was not necessary, and the Court concludes that Sharp conveyed the Boat to GDHI when it executed the Dation (on January 5, 2012). As a result, GDHI had no notice of the voidability of the transfer until after the conveyance of the Boat. Moreover, in the Final Order, the Texas Court never restrained Sharp from alienating the Boat; in fact, the TRO, the Temporary Injunction, and the Final Order never mention the Boat. Cf.

The federal bribery statute found at 18 U.S.C. § 201(b)(2)(A) provides that a public official commits bribery when he “corruptly demands, seeks, receives, accepts, or agrees to receive or accept anything of value personally ... in return for ... being influenced in the performance of any official act.” The language in the statute is disjunctive. In other words, a defendant violates § 201 by merely seeking or demanding a bribe, regardless of whether he accepts or even agrees to accept it. See, e.g., United States v.

Defendants do not articulate any interest of the Oneida Nation or the Casino which would be affected by the outcome of the claims against the other Defendants, nor is there anything in the record to suggest that any party would be prejudiced by permitting Plaintiffs to proceed against the other Defendants in the absence of the Oneida Nation and the Casino.

Petitioner contends that the IJ erred in finding that he was provided proper notice of his removal proceedings because the notice to appear was not sent to his current address. He cites Matter of G-Y-R, 2001 WL 1515819, 23 I & N Dec. 181 (BIA 2001), and its progeny for the proposition that a respondent cannot be ordered removed in absentia where the Immigration and Naturalization Service (“INS”) used an old address in serving the notice to appear and failed to warn the respondent of the consequences of failing to inform the government of a change of address.

Furthermore, Appellant acknowledged that his civilian attorney told him not to go into questioning without him and Appellant intentionally ignored that advice. Based on Appellant’s own testimony and actions in reviewing and signing the Article 31, UCMJ, rights form at the time of the interrogation, Appellant waived any right he may have had to have his counsel notified of and be present at the interrogation.

Pauckert contends that his sentence was procedurally and substantively unreasonable. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We vacate the sentence and remand to the district court for further action. 1. The district court properly imposed a sentencing enhancement for obstruction of justice under U.S.S.G. § 3C1:1. Pauckert’s instruction to Dodge to destroy the printers that were used to create the fraudulent identification materials may be subject to more than one interpretation, but the district court did not clearly err in concluding that the instruction was given with the purpose of destroying material evidence.

Since the Court could not dismiss Count I on the grounds that the government had failed to allege means necessary to state a violation of § 371 there are no grounds to dismiss because the listed “means and methods” are laid out vaguely. The indictment does state the essential elements of the offense, does allege at least one overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy, and therefore serves to apprise defendants of what they must be prepared to defend.

Because we cannot conclude that the denial of counsel at the preliminary hearing necessarily undermined the entire criminal proceeding, we will apply a harmless error analysis in this case. 4. We now turn to the salient question of whether the denial of Ditch’s right to counsel at his preliminary hearing was harmless error. To determine whether constitutional error in a habeas case was harmless, we must decide whether the error “had substantial and injurious effect or influence in determining the jury’s verdict.” Brecht v. Abrahamson, 507 U.S. 619, 623, 113 S.Ct. 1710, 123 L.Ed.2d 353 (1993); see also Hassine v. Zimmerman, 160 F.3d 941, 953 (3d Cir.1998) ().

We also note that a wealth of case law has established that government employees providing medical treatment in non-emergency situations are not entitled to official immunity regardless of whether any rules, policies, orders, or regulations were violated.

Stone is distinguishable from this case. Here, C.S.’s statements were repeated by Douglas, Callen, and Renz, and the videotaped interview with Detective McClain was played. However, C.S. was the first witness to testify and was subject to cross examination. Moreover, Douglas, Callen, and Renz’s testimony was brief, consistent with, and did not elaborate upon C.S.’s testimony. We conclude that any error was harmless. See, e.g., Craig v.

In his original brief to this Court, appellant raised thirteen points of error. On remand, he filed a brief containing four points of error — two from the original brief and two new points of error. The State contends that neither the rules of appellate procedure nor case law permit the raising of new points of error on remand. See Theus v.

This history is directly relevant to our analysis. In context, the appointment of defense counsel for indigent criminal defendants would seem to be a necessary step for judges to take in order to provide for fair process. That rationale applies to the appointment of interim United States Attorneys with equal force. It is in keeping with preserving the institutional integrity of the judiciary that judges, faced with an indefinite vacancy in the office of United States Attorney, seek out a competent lawyer to represent the government.

The substance of Showers' claim is not that Musson was negligent in its implementation of a decision made in the exercise of a governmental entity's legislative, quasi-le , 253 N.W.2d 240 (1977) (same). ¶ 54. In contrast, Showers alleges that Musson's performance of its construction duties, such as maintaining drainage at the worksite, did not meet the standard of due care for construction work. Cf.

What matters for a sufficiency of the evidence inquiry is that there was adequate proof of an overall conspiracy to participate, directly or indirectly, in the conduct of the Erne’s affairs through a pattern of racketeering activity.

As set out above, there was sufficient direct evidence, even in the abbreviated record before us, that, using his computer, Kimler received and transmitted proscribed images over the internet across state lines via telephone wires, and that those computer images were the ones stored on his computer’s hard drive. As we have emphasized, Kimler does not address his argument to a single one of the dozens of exhibits introduced in this case, along with testimony, showing actual interstate trafficking in the proscribed images over the internet. Kimler also does not argue that such actual interstate activity is not in interstate commerce, nor could he. See, e.g., United States v. Runyan, 290 F.3d 223, 239 (5th Cir.)

This was error. The transfers by assignment were made at a time when the debtor knew about his federal tax liability and these transfers by assignment could have been made in an attempt to evade payment of taxes.

In such cases the deceased’s statements of fear as to guns or of defendant himself (showing he would never go near defendant under any circumstances) are relevant in that they tend to rebut this defense.

R2’s argument is, in effect, an attack on the bankruptcy court’s determination that it was appropriate for the Plan to consider all the Charter entities together, even though the bankruptcies were never substantively consolidated. In order to grant a separate valuation of CCI, the district court would have had to overturn the bankruptcy court’s determination that a joint Plan was appropriate. That legal conclusion would require not just that CCI be separately valued, but that all the Charter subsidiaries be revalued and the proceeds of the bankruptcy distributed accordingly. See Compania Internacional Financiera S.A. v. Calpine Corp. (In re Calpine Corp.), 390 B.R. 508, 519-20 (S.D.N.Y.2008) (), aff'd 354 Fed.Appx. 479 (2d Cir.2009).

Contrary to the suggested treatment of a sentence in Commentary 3 to U.S.S.G. § 2J1.6, the statute does not suggest that a sentencing court might determine a total sentence for the underlying offense or offenses and the failure to appear and then divide the sentence among the convictions. The consecutive sentencing requirement of the statute is in conflict with Commentary 3 to U.S.S.G § 2J1.6. The statute’s requirement of a consecutive sentence, therefore, prevails over the Sentencing Guidelines. See Packer, 70 F.3d at 360 (); cf. United States v.

Meanwhile, the Union argues that the grievance more broadly claimed a violation of Article 14 and that the issue of consent came up both during the arbitration hearing and in the parties’ post-hearing briefs. An arbitrator’s authority to decide issues extends only to the issues actually submitted. Matteson v. Ryder Sys., Inc., 99 F.3d 108, 114 (3d Cir.1996).

Moreover, other than general assertions of prejudice, Respondent failed to specifically demonstrate how any of disciplinary counsel’s purported misconduct prejudiced Respondent’s defense or would result in a different outcome if rectified.

To be sure, had Fautenberry reinvoked his Fifth Amendment right to counsel after initiating communication with Agent Ott, he would have been protected from further questioning, but Fau-tenberry does not assert that he did so and the alleged Brady evidence does not demonstrate that he did so. In order to invoke one’s Fifth Amendment right to counsel, the “suspect must unambiguously request counsel,” meaning that “he must articulate his desire to have counsel present sufficiently clearly that a reasonable police officer in the circumstances would understand the statement to be a request for an attorney.” Davis v.

If not, the consent was not freely and voluntarily given. ¶ 18 Although it might be difficult to prove that consent given after an assertion of lawful authority to search was nevertheless freely given, we should not preclude the possibility that it could happen. For example, consent conceivably could be voluntary if, after an officer asserts lawful authority to search, the officer retracts that assertion or an attorney advises that the search is not lawfully required before the subject of the search consents. See Kunzler v. Pima Cty. Superior Court, 154 Ariz. 568, 570, 744 P.2d 669, 671 (1987) (); State v.

And, although “we occasionally have found implicit in an order the [findings necessary to support dismissal], we have never suggested that the district court need not make that finding.” World Thrust Films, Inc., 41 F.3d at 1456 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). We rigidly require the district courts to make these findings precisely “[b]ecause the sanction of dismissal with prejudice is so unsparing,” Mingo, 864 F.2d at 103, and we strive to afford a litigant his or her day in court, if possible.

In situations where Congress has limited the ability of plaintiffs to collect damages due to governmental wrongs—such as the FTCA—courts have recognized that such a statutory limitation does not preclude the award of nominal damages for a violation of a constitutional right. See, e.g., Bush v. St. Tammany Par., 754 F.2d 1132, 1133 (5th Cir.1984) (affirming award of nominal damages for FTCA violation); Allah v. Al-Hafeez, 226 F.3d 247, 251 (3d Cir.2000) (); Perkins v.

The plain language of the statute makes clear that at least 10% of the surcharge bill or the actual collection fees incurred in recovering unpaid surcharges are to be paid to the DMV for its costs of administering the collection of surcharges and the cancellation notification system. The remainder are to be remitted to the JUA as part of the scheme of assuring market rate insurance to all motorists. Because Code § 523(a)(7) excludes from its coverage debts payable to and for the benefit of a governmental unit as compensation for actual pecuniary loss, the debtor’s obligation to pay that portion of costs and fees retained by the DMV to cover administrative expenses is dischargeable.

The essence of this claim is that decisions such as the amount and timing of IFRP payments constitute core judicial functions under Article III, and therefore a district court cannot delegate those functions without violating separation of powers. The IFRP, set forth in 28 C.F.R. §§ 545.10 and 545.11, requires participating inmates to commit a percentage of their prison employment earnings toward the payment of court-ordered restitution.

The second theory is the so-called “public function” theory: that the State of Illinois has allowed hotel proprietors to perform a governmental function in enforcing their lien, and therefore that their actions must be governed by constitutional limitations. A. Entwinement The proper focus for determining whether state action exists under this theory was recently stated by the Supreme Court as follows: [T]he inquiry must be whether there is a sufficiently close nexus between the State and the challenged action of the regulated entity so that the action of the latter may be fairly treated as that of the State itself. Jackson v. Metropolitan Edison Co., 419 U.S. 345, 351, 95 S.Ct. 449, 453, 42 L.Ed.2d 477 (1974) ().

However, on further consideration, the Court in Harlow v. Fitzgerald stated, “[t]he subjective element of the good-faith defense frequently has proved incompatible with our admonition in Butz that insubstantial claims should not proceed to trial.” 457 U.S. 800, 815-16, 102 S.Ct. 2727, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982).

Waiver of Right to Appeal In its reply brief, the State contends that any alleged errors concerning the “plea bargain process” have been waived by appellant’s pleas of guilty because the complaints of ineffective assistance of counsel have no nexus with appellant’s pleas of guilty. Whether entered with or without an agreed recommendation of punishment by the State, a valid plea of guilty or nolo contendere waives, or forfeits, the right to appeal a claim of error only when the judgment of guilt was rendered independently of, and is not supported by, the alleged error.

Although Detective Reynolds admittedly did not know where on the headboard of the bed the ligatures were tied, it was reasonable for him to infer that appellant secured the ligatures to the bed in some fashion. See Valdez, 776 S.W.2d at 169. Moreover, the precise location where the ligatures were tied is an insignificant fact; the more important question is when appellant tied Jeff Wright’s arms and legs. As we have noted, it is not necessary that the demonstration be identical to the event in every respect. See id. at 168; Cantu, 738 S.W.2d at 266; see also Key, 192 S.W.2d at 566 ().

Unless the district court is given an opportunity to correct the error, an appellate court cannot review evidence presented at trial which casts doubt upon a pre-trial suppression motion. See United States v. Longmire, 761 F.2d 411, 420-21 (7th Cir.1985). Thomas next contends that the prosecutor misrepresented the testimony of two government witnesses and, in his closing statement, the prosecutor said that Thomas ran a ""satellite office"" for the E & Lite conspiracy. Because five witnesses, including one police officer, testified that Thomas sold E & Lite heroin at the Travelers' Motel as a subordinate of E. Gaston, the prosecutor did not misrepresent the trial record as a whole. See United States v.

In Bailey v. United States, 516 U.S. 137, 143, 116 S.Ct. 501, 133 L.Ed.2d 472 (1995), the Court held that simply possessing a firearm, without active employment, did not constitute “use” under § 924(c). Following Smith and Bailey, courts of appeals had also held that trading drugs for a firearm constituted “use” under § 924(c)(1)(A). See, e.g., United States v. Harris, 39 F.3d 1262, 1269 (4th Cir.1994) (finding defendant “used” a firearm for purposes of § 924(c) where he gave cocaine base to a compatriot in exchange for assistance in obtaining a gun); United States v.

Id. The State is correct that Johnson’s cooperation with the police is an insufficient statutory ground to justify the downward departure sentence. The statutory mitigating factor of cooperation is found in section 921.0026(i), Florida Statutes (2011). Cooperation requires more than a confession to .the authorities after arrest and guilty, plea. See State v. Knox, 990 So.2d 665, 668 (Fla. 5th DCA 2008). “A departure sentence is not warranted where a defendant merely “cooperated after [the] offense was discovered because that cooperation did not solve a crime.”” Id. Johnson’s cooperation did not resolve the current offenses or any other offense. See State v. White, 894 So.2d 293, 294 (Fla. 2d DCA 2Q05)(). See also State v.

Finally, the Ninth Circuit held that § 330(a)(4)(A) superseded its past precedent, which had “requir[ed] that the services actually provide an ‘identifiable, tangible and material benefit to the [debt- or’s] estate.” ’ In re Smith, 317 F.3d 918, 926 (9th Cir.2002) (quoting In re Xebec, 147 B.R. 518, 523 (B.A.P. 9th Cir.1992)).

In this context, a showing of prejudice would require demonstrating “a reasonable probability that inclusion of the [Blakely ] issue would have changed the result of the appeal.” Benning, 345 Fed.Appx. at 158 (quoting Wilson v. Parker, 515 F.3d 682, 707 (6th Cir.2008)) (alteration in original). This requires only “a reasonable probability that the appeal would have resulted in a remand,” and does not necessarily require that “the remand would have resulted in a shorter sentence.” Ibid.; see also Carter v.

Although the term pointer is used in the field of computing, it is analogous to any tag that directs a person to an object or data located elsewhere. As the Special Master observed, “[a]n index (such as the card catalog at a library) contains pointers to information (the books stored in a systematic manner).” R & R on '081 and '002 Patents 31 (emphasis added). Thus, at its core, this patent is directed to the abstract idea of retrieving data located in another place by using a device with information that pinpoints the data’s location to facilitate its retrieval. See Bascom Research, LLC v. Facebook, Inc., 77 F.Supp.3d 940, 949-50 (N.D.Cal.2015) ().

Moreover, the application explained that records obtained from the Internet provider identified Gentles as the Internet service account holder. From this information, the issuing judge could reasonably infer that the federal agent subpoenaed information related to the suspect’s IP address and that Gentles, as the account holder, probably was the adult male engaged in the unlawful online activity described in the application. Because the items listed in the search warrant— computers, webcams, and other electronic media and storage devices—generally are kept in one’s home, it follows that probable cause existed to search Gentles’s home. See United States v. Cowling, 648 F.3d 690, 696 (8th Cir. 2011) (); United States v.

The court held that “where the commission of an underlying offense is a requisite for the commission of a second offense, the information must also contain the elements of the underlying offense.” Id. at 725, 52 Ill.Dec. at 328, 422 N.E.2d at 9. Some jurisdictions that require that the specific underlying offense be identified in the charge, however, do not require that all the elements of the underlying felony itself be alleged, as mandated in Miles. The courts instead require only that the specific underlying felony be identified by name or statutory reference. See, e.g., State v. Hartz, 65 Wash.App. 351, 354-55, 828 P.2d 618, 620-21 (1992) (); Demouchette v.

Herrera now appeals his conviction and sentence. This court has jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1291 (appeal of a final decision of a district court); and 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a) (appeal of a final decision regarding a sentence). For the following reasons the conviction is affirmed. Familiarity with the facts is assumed. I. Entrapment Instruction Herrera claims that the district court did not adequately instruct the jury on his theory of the case, namely sentencing entrapment. Sentencing entrapment “occurs when ‘a defendant, although predisposed to commit a minor or lesser offense, is entrapped in committing a greater offense subject to greater punishment.’ ” United States v.

According to SES, the City’s breach — i.e., specifying the incorrect rate in the bid documents — caused these damages. SES offered evidence that its representatives relied on the incorrect rate in formulating SES’s bid on the project. It also offered damage models showing the difference between its actual costs and the costs it would have incurred had the rate been capped by the allegedly correct ot make the City a guarantor that an employer hires employees at that rate. See United States v. Binghamton Constr. Co., 347 U.S. 171, 178, 74 S.Ct. 438, 442, 98 L.Ed. 594 (1954) ().

Here, Appellant did not request a limiting instruction concerning Appellant’s assault of Ms. Kurt until the State had completed its direct examination of Randy. And it was during the State’s direct examination of Randy that he testified that Appellant hit Ms. Kurt twice in the convenience store parking lot. Thus, Randy’s testimony that Appellant twice hit Ms. Kurt had already been admitted as part of the general evidence and was usable for all purposes. See id. Appellant failed to request a limiting instruction at the time the evidence of the assault was first admitted, and therefore failed to preserve this point for appellate review. See id.; see also Prescott v. State, 123 S.W.3d 506, 515-16 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2003, no pet.) (). We overrule Appellant’s third point.

The report was distributed by defendants to the Bank, which forwarded copies to certain individuals working for other participating lenders. One copy was left in a hotel room, but retrieved two hours later. Benchmark’s decision to copy and distribute this report cannot be charged to defendants — plaintiffs cannot complain of unwanted publicity for which they alone are responsible. Cf. Live Oak Pub.

Count III states that Prudential violated Title III by refusing to pay Wilson’s rehabilitation expenses based on the Plan’s mbntal-disability limit.

The act must be read to disapprove of the language of State v. Chelson, supra, 104 N.J.Super. at 510, that suggested that an offender could expunge the record of a last criminal conviction, although not able to use that to leapfrog backwards to wipe out an entire record. Cf. State v. D’Angerio, 124 N.J.Super. 240 (Law Div.1973) ().

The court’s instruction is designed to prevent a jury from committing jury misconduct by speculating on the amount of time that a convict may serve, or by considering what the Parole Board may do relative to the accused’s sentence. A juror’s ability to follow the court’s instruction on this matter must and can be tested during voir dire when the accused may challenge each venire member, both concerning his position on or understanding of the law as well as on the accused’s right to a fair and impartial trial and to fair and impartial punishment. Implicit within the statute is appellant’s duty to make inquiry and to challenge each ve-nire member on his willingness to follow the court’s instruction. See House of Tobacco, Inc. v. Calvert, 394 S.W.2d 654, 658 (Tex.1965) ().

Because R.AV. does not apply to statutes that are “directed at conduct,” it does not apply to FACE, which is primarily, or 'even entirely, “directed at conduct.” This assumes, however, that our definition of “conduct” has not changed. With respect to the use of force, this seems to be a safe assumption. See, e.g., Mitchell, — U.S. at -, 113 S.Ct. at 2201. Moreover, at least one panel in this circuit has held that a civil rights statute that selectively proscribes threats of force is similarly “directed at conduct” and thus not subject to the R.A.V. general rule.

See id. We suspect Knight’s multiple attempts to obtain relief on this claim stem from a mistaken belief that such an error is, or was at one time, per se reversible. The supreme court, however, has never held that it is. In the absence of such a declaration by the supreme court, all judgments are subject to a harmless error analysis. See § 924.33, Fla. Stat.

Knight likely was misled because until recently the supreme court had not discussed the harmless error test in any of its decisions reversing an improper firearm enhancement.

The Court reasoned in Rehberg that ""[t]he factors that justify absolute immunity for trial witnesses apply with equal force to grand jury witnesses.” Id. Although here we deal with a different form of speech protection, we similarly hold that the factors justifying First Amendment protection against retaliation for trial witnesses apply with equal force to subpoenaed deposition witnesses. 4 . We note that, unlike the plaintiff in Huppert v.

However, the Mortgage Payment Transfers reduced a secured debt — the mortgage owed- on the Lake Property, The Debtor owed the-mortgage to the'Bank, in the same amount and with the same payment schedule,'whether or not the Defendant was living in the Lake Property. The benefit received by the Defendant on account of the Mortgage Payment Transfers is merely incidental. The Mortgage Payment Transfers reduced the mortgage such that the.Bank’s claim in the Debtor’s bankruptcy estate is significantly less than it would have been had the Debtor not made the Mortgage Payments.

First, the involuntary dismissal of the Association from the foreclosure action did not render the assessment lien superior to the mortgage lien. The Association was involuntarily dismissed from PNC Bank’s 2012 foreclosure action because it was involuntary dismissed from the 2008 foreclosure action as a sanction against the previous bank. This sanction could not, as a matter of law, render the Association’s assessment lien superior to the first mortgage lien. See U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n v. Farhood, 153 So.3d 955, 957-58 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014) (); see also Holly Lake Ass’n v. Fed. Nat’l ### Response: holding that the trial court exceeded its authority in declaring the associations lien superior to the foreclosing banks mortgage lien as a sanction for delay tactics because the courts declaration of lien priority as a sanction impermissibly overlooked the common law and encroached on the legislatures codification of wellestablished property rights " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: was no manifest necessity to declare the mistrial, and no express or implied consent to the mistrial by the defendant, we perceive no exception to the Double Jeopardy Clause’s requirement that an individual may not be subjected “to hazards of trial and possible conviction more than once for an alleged offense.” Green v. United States, 355 U.S. 184, 187, 78 S.Ct. 221, 223, 2 L.Ed.2d 199 (1957). We have considered all arguments presented by the parties and conclude that no further discussion is necessary. The judgment of the district court will be affirmed. 1 . New Jersey relies on ""manifest necessity” because the phrase ""ends of public justice” is not applicable to the facts of this case. See Illinois v. Somerville, 410 U.S. 458, 468-471, 93 S.Ct. 1066, 1072-1074, 35 L.Ed.2d 425 (1973) (). 2 .

Gray, 796 A.2d at 717. In response to the State’s contention that Appellant fully presented his theory of the case to the jury, we cannot conclude that the trial court’s refusal to permit Appellant to call Ms. Day to the stand was harmless. See Jenkins, 195 W.Va. at 628, 466 S.E.2d at 479. Simply put, we cannot be certain that the jury would not have viewed Appellant’s theory of the case in a different light had Ms. Day taken the stand and either responded to questions posed by defense counsel or refused to testify in the jury’s presence. Based on the specific circumstances present in this case, an acquitted co-defendant who refused to testify despite a grant of immunity combined with sufficient evidence suggesting that the co-defendant may have been the sole per t 150 ().

A recent case in which the same situation prevailed is LaMade v. Wilson (1975) 168 U.S.App.D.C. 108, 512 F.2d 1348. There the trial court had ruled such evidence admissible.

For an instance in which an appropriate instruction cured an impermissible reference to collateral benefits, see Edwards v. Steinns (4th Cir. 1953) 207 F.2d 734, 735. To the same effect, are Mixon v.

See 31 U.S.C. § 3730(c)(3). This court follows the vast majority of courts that have considered this issue and finds that the FCA does not run afoul of the separation of powers doctrine. See United States ex rel. Taxpayers Against Fraud v. General Elec.

The Bondholders argue that evidence regarding the hedging activities of Non-Consequential Damages Parties is not relevant as it does not shed light on the conduct of the Consequential Damages Parties and, ev ion v.

Kinman states in her affidavit that initially she did not welcome McDougall’ F.3d 1006 (5th Cir.1996) (refusing to hold school district Hable for student-on-student harassment unless the school itself directly discriminated based on sex). The divergence of views on this issue stems in part from the factual disparity in the cases. Title IX cases vary in both the type of discrimination alleged (hostile environment, quid pro quo, sexual abuse, discriminatory hiring/firing, or some combination) and in the identity of the perpetrators and victims (teacher/student harassment, stu dent/student harassment, or school official/teacher harassment). But even those courts which have addressed similar fact patterns have varied in their holdings. Compare Bosley, 904 F.Supp. at 1022 () with Rowinsky, 80 F.3d 1006 (refusing to hold ### Response: holding school board liable for studentonstudent harassment if school officials knew of harassment and intentionally failed to take proper remedial action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: III, concurs. 1 . The Fourth Circuit is one of two federal circuits that does not currently require a showing that the government intentionally delayed the indictment so as to gain a tactical advantage. See U.S. v. Automated Med. Laboratories, Inc., 770 F.2d 399 (4th Cir.1985); Howell v. Barker, 904 F.2d 889 (4th Cir.1990). Chief Justice TOAL dissenting: I respectfully dissent. In accordance with the majority of the federal circuits that have addressed the issue, I would hold that pre-indictment delay does not violate the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause unless a defendant can show both actual prejudice and that the State has intentionally delayed the issuance of an indictment in order to gain an unfair tactical advantage. See Jones v. Angelone, 94 F.3d 900, 905 (4th Cir.1996) ().

Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing, 745 A.2d 701 (Pa.Cmwlth.2000), the Department argued that the trial court had discretion to dismiss the statutory appeal for the sake of judicial efficiency when the licensee failed to appear at the scheduled hearing to prosecute his appeal. Finding no controlling authority on the issue, the Court relied on the “practice rule” under Rule 218(b)(1) and (c) of the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure, Pa. R.C.P. No. 218(b)(1) and (c), while recognizing that the rules of civil procedure do not apply to a statutory appeal. See Knopsnider v. Derry Twp. Bd. of Supervisors, 725 A.2d 245 (Pa.Cmwlth.1999) ().

Pope, 937 So.2d 61, 65-66 (Ala.2006). The record does not contain substantial evidence to create a jury question with regard to the existence of a joint venture involving Hyundai. Nothing in the evidence supports a finding of a community of interest. Hyundai never had a joint ownership interest with any of the alleged joint venturers in the property of the Rus-sells or the McLemore group upon the closings on the property. Additionally, Hyundai did not provide financing for the purchase of the property, and it had no risk or expenses with regard to the purchase. Thus, nothing supports a finding of a community of interest involving Hyundai with regard to the acquisition of the property to constitute the project site. Cf. Flowers v. Pope, 937 So.2d at 68 (). Moreover, the record indicates that Hyundai ### Response: holding that there was no community of interest because the alleged joint venturers did not have an equal proprietary interest and only one of the alleged joint venturers bore the risks and paid the expenses " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the trial court’s denial of the university’s plea to the jurisdiction in part, but concluded that the bank’s claim for inverse condemnation was properly dismissed because the university took the property under color of contract, as conceded by the parties in their pleadings. Id. at 911. In contrast to Texas Southern, in which the parties conceded the existence of a contract by which the university took possession of the equipment, here, the Porrettos’ claim of ownership in the land is unchallenged in the pleadings and the evidence. Id. Instead, the facts in this case resemble those in State v. Riemer and Kenedy Memorial Foundation v. Mauro, cases in which takings claims survived a plea to the jurisdiction. See State v.

If such inferences of intent are not present, we must conclude that “ ‘the essential predicate for implication of a private remedy’” does not exist.

In connection with prong Plaintiffs assert that even if their complaints allege deceit, their claims are not SLUSA-barred because the challenged conduct did not occur “in connection with the purchase or sale of’ a security. 15 U.S.C. § 78bb(f)(l). But, the Supreme Court has read SLUSA’s “in connection with” requirement broadly, finding it satisfied if misrepresentations simply “coincide with a securities transaction.” Dabit, 547 U.S. at 77-78, 85, 126 S.Ct. 1503 (internal quotation marks omitted). The misrepresentation need only “have more than some tangential relation to the securities transaction.” Freeman, 704 F.3d at 1116 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted); see also Chadbourne, 134 S.Ct. at 1066 ().

Although Wilder did not testify pursuant to a plea agreement, the Court finds that the prosecutor’s repeated reference to the “minimal” benefit afforded Wilder for his testimony was improper. The Court also finds that the prosecutor’s statements tended to mislead the jury, prejudiced Petitioner by hamstringing his efforts to explore fully Wilder’s motives for testifying, and were deliberately placed before the jury by the prosecutor. In addition, considered in the context of the relative weakness of the prosecution’s case, which relied heavily on Wilder’s testimony and the testimony of admitted drug dealers, the prosecutor’s misconduct rendered the trial fundamentally unfair. See Scott v. Foltz, 612 F.Supp. 50, 58 (E.D.Mich.1985) (Cohn, J.) (). The Court finds that the state court’s ### Response: holding witnesss false testimony regarding plea agreement was reasonably likely to have impacted the jurys judgment where case essentially amounted to a credibility contest between the witness who testified falsely regarding a plea agreement and the defendant " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: whether or not a certificate has been filed. TOLLING OF STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS The hearing officer found that even if the limitations period began to run before the certificate was filed, the period should be tolled during the time the city was attempting to obtain worker’s signature on the certificate. Worker’s refusal to execute the certificate, according to the hearing officer, provided good cause for the city’s failure to file its claim against the fund within the limitations period. Tolling of a limitations period is normally accomplished by statute. See NMSA 1978, §§ 37-1-9 to 37-1-12 (tolling for absence or concealment of a debtor, minority, incapacity, death of claimant, and stay of action pursuant to injunction); cf. Hardin v. Farris, 87 N.M. 143, 530 P.2d 407 (Ct.App.1974) ().

As a matter of industry terminology, “not to exceed” or “guaranteed not to exceed” refers to an estimate by which the customer pays the lower of the estimated cost or the actual cost based upon the actual weight and services provided on the estimate. (Id. ¶ 15.) Had Mr. Harrison been disclosed pursuant to Rule 26(a)(2), there might have been an argument as to whether his expert opinion on the “industry” meaning of the terms “not to exceed” or “guaranteed not to exceed” would be admissible (especially in light of the fact that Chen is not a member of the moving industry). But there is no doubt that such testimony falls under Rule 702’s category of “specialized knowledge.” See, e.g., WH Smith Hotel Sens., Inc. v.

The court entered a revocation of probation and imposed a two-year sentence for battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest with violence, with credit for time served on probation. However, the court’s written order of revocation of probation does not give defendant any credit for time served on probation, and finds that defendant committed each of the probation violations charged. We affirm the revocation of probation because defendant admitted several violations of his conditions of probation. However, the State properly concedes that the sentence must be reversed because the trial court erred in failing to enter a written order that conformed to its oral pronouncements at the sentencing hearing.

To do so would expose any subsequent inventor who seeks to improve the art to the risk of paying substantial damages by the simple expedient of allowing a patent holder to obtain a reissued patent and then use the changes in that patent in a pending infringement suit in order to prevail with its interpretation of a disputed term.

Consideration of these factors leads the Court to conclude that Johnson’s due process rights have not been offended by his detention. Johnson was detained for eleven months before an IJ ruled on his removal, an extended period of detention. On December 17, 2012, an IJ ordered Johnson removed. The sole reason that Johnson continues to be in ICE custody is the fact that Johnson chose to appeal the IJ’s removal order.

See id. Thus, even though in many instances this will simply be an inquiry into whether a defendant intended to repay, when collateral is involved courts must also consider whether a defendant planned to return the collateral or anticipated that such collateral would be repossessed or foreclosed on by the lending institution.

On at least one occasion, the defendant had over $100,000 in cash stored in a garbage bag in his home.

In support of his contention, Defendant merely asserts that the manufacturer of a particular machine, the Intoxilyzer, does not sell the machine to private persons. Moreover, the record fails to show that Defendant even attempted to obtain independent testing of his breath. Defendant did not offer any evidence that the State created the difficulty he identifies in obtaining a breath sample. Instead, the record shows that Defendant was informed of his right to seek an independent chemical test, but did not seek one. He could have obtained a blood test. Thus, the practical difficulty that Defendant identifies in obtaining an independent breath sample fails to create a due process violation.

Rather, Tidwell argues for the first time on appeal that the notice the Government provided was insufficient because the Government could have assured that the Notice of Seizure was directly handed to him or sent to his attorney, but it failed to do so. The argument that the Government must provide a prisoner with actual notice was squarely rejected by the Supreme Court in Dusenbery. Dusenbery, 534 U.S. at 171, 122 S.Ct. 694 (“[O]ur cases have never required actual notice.”); see One Toshiba Color Television, 213 F.3d at 155 ().

Ap-pellee’s brief, however, paints a different picture. He contends that appellant agreed to the arbitrators, that she testified at the hearing, and responded to questions. In short, appellant’s bare allegations are contested and, without support, are insufficient to prove a statutory basis for vacating the arbitration award. See Dolton, 935 A.2d at 299-300 ().

Neither of the FDIC’s other arguments undermines this conclusion. First, the court is unpersuaded by the FDIC’s claim that a broad interpretation of the arbitration clause would render the forum selection clause superfluous. As TACG points out, the forum selection clause could apply to suits to compel arbitration or enforce an arbitration award. See Kvaerner ASA v. Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, Ltd., N.Y.

M/V Point Vail, 901 F.2d 1044, 1050 (11th Cir.1990).

Felix Moultrie appeals from a final judgment adjudicating him guilty of aggravated battery in which he was sentenced as a prison releasee reoffender to fifteen years’ imprisonment. Out of the five issues raised on appeal, only one merits discussion and requires reversal. Moultrie claims and the State agrees that the trial court erred in imposing discretionary costs without orally announcing same and without making the required statutory finding that he had the ability to pay the additional assessment.

This case, of course, does not involve the death penalty. Neither the United States Supreme Court nor the Supreme Court of Florida has held that a sentence of life without possibility of parole is unconstitutional when applied to a person under the age of eighteen. Without such a ruling, Mr. Culpepper does not have an issue raising a “fundamental constitutional right” that can be raised at this time. See Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.850(b)(2); Witt v.

It appears, then, that the directors of a Chapter 11 debtor are not fiduciaries of the corporation; rather, they are fiduciaries of the estate, which the debtor in possession holds as trustee for the creditors, 11 U.S.C. § 1107(a). Given that, it is difficult to accept debtors’ position that, in effect, there is no difference in the relationship between the debtors and their directors pre- and post-petition, since the nature of the directors’ duties has changed from helmsman to guardian. 43 B.R. at 459-60 n. 22.

In this case, the central dispute over Spees’s ADA claim revolves around whether she meets the definition of a “disabled” person. A “disability” is defined as “(A) a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual; (B) a record of such an impairment; or (C) being regarded as having such an impairment.” 42 U.S.C. § 12102(2) (2006). This section of the Act was amended in 2009, subsequent to the events giving rise to Spees’s lawsuit. But we must analyze Spees’s claims pursuant to the earlier version (provided above) because the amendments to the ADA do not apply retroactively. See Milholland v.

Initially, the parties dispute whether the amount at issue represents a default penalty or collection costs incurred in USAFI’s attempt to collect upon the student loan debt. The Debtor argues that the amount is a default penalty that may either be discharged or cured through payment of the student loan principal and interest. The Debtor is correct that default penalty provisions, meant to penalize a debtor rather than repay the loan or reimburse a creditor for costs, have been held to be outside the discharge exception for student loans found in 11 U.S.C. § 523(a)(8). See Rural Kentucky Medical Scholarship Fund, Inc. v. Lipps (In re Lipps), 79 B.R. 67, 70 (Bankr.M.D.Fla. 1987) ().

Guided by Glenn, we reach a similar result here. In the appellant’s case, it was unreasonable for Investigator Sapp to conclude that the appellant’s girlfriend had the authority to consent to the search of the bag because she specifically told Sapp that the bag belonged to the appellant. Sapp was not required to speculate about who owned it. See also, e.g., United States v.

In expanding on this view, the court found in the event of default, a vendor-mortgagee may choose a variety of remedies, including forfeiture if the contract allows, while a vendee-mortgagor has the right to redeem his interest under the contract to prevent forfeiture.

Dukagjini, 326 F.3d 45, 62 (2d Cir.2003)). We also reject Williams’ claims that the district court impermissibly precluded him from arguing to the jury during summation that the government failed to meet its burden of proving alienage insofar as it failed to definitively rule out the possibility that Williams had derived citizenship. Given that the evidence before the jury was insufficient to support any claim of derivative citizenship, the district court did not abuse its discretion in precluding this line of argument.

First, unlike a proceeding for termination of parental rights, in which the state brings the direct weight of its power to bear on parents who risk losing the fundamental right of parenthood, id. at 186, petitioner has been convicted of a crime in an underlying proceeding. In contrast to the challenge of the defending parent in Geist, petitioner’s motion did not address the performance of counsel in the underlying proceeding that resulted in a deprivation of his liberty interests. Here, unlike in the criminal proceeding, petitioner is the party who is ultimately responsible for prosecuting the action. See McClure, 110 Or App at 123-24 ().

In United States v. Dandy, we held that a judge who was acquainted with a government witness did not err by denying a motion for recusal. 998 F.2d 1344, 1349 (6th Cir.1993). Similarly, there is no evidence in this case that the judge’s acquaintance with John Hollins, no matter how long-standing, extended beyond that level in any way that requires recusal (i.e., that their relationship was personal or fiduciary).

As the government now concedes, we have jurisdiction over the BIA’s “extraordinary circumstances” determination on undisputed underlying facts. Husyev v. Mukasey, 528 F.3d 1172, 1177-81 (9th Cir.2008). Petitioner argued that he established “extraordinary circumstances,” because he received ineffective assistance of counsel.

The unions were nevertheless able to enforce interest arbitration clauses in expiring contracts. We also conclude that Local 666’s situation did not bar it from invoking interest arbitration. Specifically, we hold that although Stokes had no statutory duty to bargain because of its good faith doubt about the Union’s majority, it was not for that reason relieved of its contractual obligation to submit to interest arbitration. C. Stokes next argues that the Regional Director’s dismissal of its election petition was tantamount to a formal decertification by election, an event that would have ended the Union’s rights under the collective bargaining agreement. See, e.g., Retail Clerks Int’l Ass’n v. Montgomery Ward & Co., 316 F.2d 754, 757 (7th Cir.1963) ().

In re Harstad, 170 B.R. 666, 669 (D.Minn.1994). Although a question of first impression in this circuit, the decision is in accord with four courts of appeals.

The issue (at least in the federal arena) has now largely been put to rest by the United States Supreme Court’s recent pronouncement in Musacchio, 136 S.Ct. at 717: [T]he statute-of-limitations defense becomes a part of a case only if the defendant puts the defense in issue.

The Court noted in a footnote that although the record was not completely clear, it appeared that the telephone call was a conference call in which the third party called the defendant in Massachusetts, and they proceeded to call the defendant in Florida.

Indeed, the fact that Dermio continued to be incoherent and “out of it” despite the deputy’s repeated attempts to communicate with him suggested he might have been in need of assistance, thereby permitting the deputy to enter Dermio’s car under the emergency exception to the warrant requirement.

Likewise, the subjective prong is fulfilled because, by knowing — whether from seeing his injuries, hearing about the beating, speaking with Nugent, or anything else— about Plaintiffs need to go to an outside medical facility but yet leaving him to suffer in a van for hours, these Defendants were “aware of a substantial risk [of] serious inmate harm” and yet “fail[ed] to act.” Nielsen, 746 (2d Cir.2012) (same), and includes actions for monetary damages despite the fact that monetary damages are not available as an administrative remedy, Booth v.

Accordingly, we will not disturb such a determination on appeal absent an abuse of discretion. In the present case, defendant argues that the clothing worn by Mr. Lima and the testimony of Mr. Bessette were irrelevant because it was undisputed that he had fatally stabbed Mr. Lima. It is well settled, however, that “[w]hen the state prosecutes a defendant, it carries the burden of proving every element necessary to the charge beyond a reasonable, doubt, even if some of those elements may not be disputed.” State v.

Moreover, the Bank’s assumption that any amendment to Ms. Walls’s complaint would have been either a futile attempt to revive a non-viable wrongful discharge claim or the bringing of a new cause of action that would not have related back begs the central question whether the relation back doctrine would have applied. We note, because it bears on the Bank’s second non-preservation argument, that whether a claim stated in an amended complaint relates back to the original complaint is a question of law.

We are likewise aware of no case in which a union has been permitted to bargain over the conditions of employment of excluded supervisory personnel. The absence of any such case is easily explained. Under the FSLMRS (and the NLRA), supervisors are members of management and are legally disabled from belonging to any bargaining unit, see 5 U.S.C. § 7112(b)(1); as such, the same policies that prevent a union from purporting to regulate the conditions of employment of persons in other units apply with equal force to supervisory personnel.

Id. at 96. A prospective borrower signing the document at closing is bound to be confused about whether her right of rescission has actually passed.

Indeed, the case primarily relied upon by Defendants shows that alleging an exact sum of money is not itself enough to support a conversion claim. See, e.g., High View Fund, L.P. v. Hall, 27 F.Supp.2d 420, 429 (S.D.N.Y. 1998) (dismissing conversion claim seeking $1 million because “plaintiffs do not claim ownership of a specifically identifiable, segregated $1 million” (internal quotation marks, alteration, and citation omitted)).

Mr. Akers argues on appeal that Dr. Johnson-Miller’s report was not conclusory. We disagree. Dr. Johnson-Miller expressly relied quite heavily on Mr. Akers’ subjective complaints and provided little or no explanation of the basis of her conclusions, thus, the ALJ was entitled to give her report little weight.

Gonzalez identified Pedraza as one of the men who converged at Shorty Pedraza’s home and helped unload the marijuana from Garcia’s trailer. Gonzalez also testified that Pedraza was part owner of the truck used during the first conspiracy and that Pedraza and Garcia argued on one occasion when Pedraza wanted Garcia to finish paying Pedraza for the truck. Thus, Gonzalez’s testimony, if believed, established more than Pedraza’s mere presence at the scene of conspiratorial activity. Pedraza’s complaint that the jury could not have rationally convicted him and at the same'time acquitted Shorty Pedraza is without merit. See United States v.

Of course, in an absence of counsel case, to determine that structural error has occurred it may be necessary for a court to find facts related to whether counsel was absent and whether inculpatory evidence was presented during the absence.

I agree with the majority that the presence of lawyers for co-defendantS' — even when a co-defendant’s lawyer agrees to cover for an absent defense lawyer — is irrelevant to the structural error inquiry unless the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waives the right to the presence of his own lawyer.

However, this defense was not raised in Defendants’ Answer to the Complaint or in the Defendants’ Pre-trial Order; thus the Court finds that the Defendants waived their right to assert a defense based on usury. See Cadles Grassy Meadows II, L.L.C. v. Gervin (In re Gervin), 300 Fed.Appx. 293 (5th Cir.2008) citing Harris v.

In Nordberg v. Sanchez (In re Chase & Sanborn Corp.), 813 F.2d 1177, 1181 (11th Cir.1987), which involved fraudulent transfers, we discussed “[t]he rules established in the avoidable preference cases” and explained that “any funds under the control of the debtor, regardless of the source, are properly deemed to be the debtor’s property, and any transfers that diminish that property are subject to avoidance.” See Andreini & Co. v.

Contrary to plaintiffs' assertion, there is no evidence that Father and the Company agreed that he would hold legal title ""indefinitely.” Rather, all evidence suggests that this issue simply fell through the proverbial cracks until it surfaced in preparation for the merger with Darling in 2010. 16 . Inasmuch as plaintiffs' substantive allegations against Robert relate solely to his role in the 2010 merger and the Cold Spring title transfer, the Court also finds that Robert should be dismissed as a defendant as a matter of law. 17 . Further, the Court rejects defendants’ argument that plaintiffs' claims are barred by the probate exception to federal subject-matter jurisdiction. See Wisecarver v.

Id. at 843. Thus, although the Kettle court appears to conclude that an expert report is required whenever a professional association is sued, it also recognizes that the liability of the professional association depends on the conduct of the association’s physician, and its holding is based on the inadequacy of the expert report as to that physician. Therefore, Kettle is not persuasive on the question before us.

Because Landrau was charged with conspiracy to knowingly possess cocaine with the intent to distribute it, and because he defended by claiming ignorance of the cocaine, Landrau’s reading of the Rule 404(b) exceptions is too restrictive.

Respondent urges that J.H. v. West Virginia Div. of Rehabilitation Svcs., 224 W.Va. 147, 680 S.E.2d 392 (2009) stands for the proposition that the special duty doctrine creates a separate cause of action. J.H. involved a patient at a rehab center who was sexually molested by another resident. First, we note that J.H. is a per curiam decision which does, in fact, cite to the special duty doctrine as a basis to reverse the circuit court's 12(b)(6) dismissal of the case. However, it is clear that J.H. is contrary to the well-established and predominant application of the special duty doctrine. See also Lavender, supra ().

Finally, in West v.

Kass-Berger, Inc., 121 A.2d 868, 870 (D.C.Mun.App.1956), for example, a local trial court held that an employment contract for an express term of two years fell within the statute. This holding is entirely consistent with the conventional interpretation accepted by local courts.

The .081 blood alcohol content, was that consistent with the defendant’s behavior that you observed personally? “A. Yes, it was.” On appeal, defendant assigns Wilcox’s trial testimony as error. His argument under his assignment presents two issues: (1) whether the evidence is admissible under ORS 813.010(1)(a); and (2) whether Wilcox was qualified to express the opinion that defendant’s behavior was consistent with his BAC. See State v. Jacobs, 109 Or App 444, 819 P2d 766 (1991) ().

At the end of the day, the Court commented to defense counsel, ‘You will deal with the clothing issue, so I won’t have to hear about that tomorrow morning?” T.217. Counsel replied that he would do so. Thus, Van Gorder apparently registered a complaint about his clothing that day, but it was not placed on the record. During the rest of the trial, there were no further objections from Van Gorder or defense counsel regarding Van Gorder’s attire. Van Gorder was not prejudiced by appellate counsel’s omission of this issue on direct appeal. First of all, the state appellate court would have dismissed the claim as unpreserved due to the defendant’s failure to object. E.g., People v. Brown, 259 A.D.2d 985, 688 N.Y.S.2d 861 (4th Dep’t 1999) () (citing N.Y.Crim. Proc.

One of the first articulations of this right came in Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1, 105 S.Ct. 1694, 85 L.Ed.2d 1 (1985). Under Gamer, the police may not use deadly force against a citizen unless “the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a significant threat of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others.” Id. at 3, 105 S.Ct. 1694. This same standard has been repeatedly followed by the Sixth Circuit in deadly force cases. Whitlow, 39 Fed.Appx. 297, 302-03, 2002 WL 1455317, at *5 (); Sova v. City of Mt.

All reasonable inferences from the evidence presented at trial must be drawn in favor of the Government. Id. First, Wagner argues that the Government failed to prove the existence of a RICO enterprise because, he maintains, it presented no evidence of an enterprise distinct from the alleged predicate acts, and, further, the predicate acts alleged were nothing more than a discontinuous series of individual crimes. Neither of these arguments has merit. Contrary to Wagner’s first argument, neither the Supreme Court nor this Court has required that the Government’s proof of the alleged enterprise be distinct from the racketeering conduct. See, e.g., United States v. Turkette, 452 U.S. 576, 583, 101 S.Ct. 2524, 69 L.Ed.2d 246 (1981) (); United States v.

R.Crim. P. 7.03. Because the construction of procedural rules is reviewed de novo, we review de novo whether the notice in this case fulfills that required in the rules. Rourke, 773 N.W.2d at 923. Robideau argues that this departure basis was not included in the original notice of intent to seek an aggravated sentence. As a result, Robideau argues that it is an impermissible basis for departure and that he did not waive his jury trial right on this issue. See Blakely v.

He also brings related state-law claims for fraud, battery, breach of fiduciary duty, strict liability for ultrahazardous activity and intentional infliction of emotional distress. These claims have their roots in the events of over three decades ago, and the parties agree that the statute of limitations applicable to both the federal and the state claims is two years.

Because they did not even see the foul ball, they cannot claim that the accident caused emotional distress from fear of injury; the speed of the accident actually prevented any apprehension or anticipation of harm. Furthermore, even if James and Cheryl Lawson had anticipated the harm, they do not proffer any evidence indicating that they experienced severe mental illness as a result of the incident.

Such “specific facts supporting a strong inference of fraud” are absent in Morrow’s complaint. Nonetheless, the complaint’s lack of particularity with respect to the allegation of fraudulent concealment need not necessitate the dismissal of that claim. It is true that a “district court is not required to grant a plaintiff leave 409 (9th Cir.1994) (); Alexander v. Vesta Ins.

In sum, Dr. Beyer’s declaration provides a reasonable basis and a feasible means for plaintiffs to prove impact on a class-wide basis. At the class certification stage, the court’s task is not to determine whether his opinion will ultimately be persuasive, but rather to evaluate whether his declaration is sufficient to demonstrate common questions of fact warranting class certification. See In re Visa Check/MasterMoney Antitrust Lit., 280 F.3d 124, 135 (2d Cir.2001). The court is satisfied that his declaration satisfies this criteria. See, e.g., Linerboard Antitrust Lit., 203 F.R.D. at 220 (); In re Vitamins Antitrust Lit., 209 F.R.D. ### Response: holding plaintiffs demonstrated a means of proving impact on a classwide basis despite defendants arguments regarding variations in products and pricing " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: see also Wis.

Therefore, since 1935, Wisconsin's supplemental proceeding law has been bereft of any language that would grant a judgment creditor the right to compel a non-judgment debtor third party to testify at a supplemental proceeding. 3.

We conclude that the legislature has deliberately removed the statutory right of judgment creditors to compel a non-judgment debtor third party to testify at a supplemental proceeding. As a general matter, courts may not find a statutory right in legislative silence alone. See Harvot, 320 Wis. 2d 1, ¶ 50, (). This is so because statutory rights ""are ### Response: holding that the courts should not undertake ad hoc judicial discovery of implied statutory rights " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: invoked to artificially limit a trial court’s examination of the factors necessary to a reasoned determination of whether a plaintiff has met her burden of establishing each of the Rule 23 class action requirements.” Castano, 84 F.3d at 744 n. 17 (quoting Love v. Turlington, 733 F.2d 1562, 1564 (11th Cir.1984)). Appellants contend that the Supreme Court’s June 6, 2011 decision in Halliburton, 131 S.Ct. 2179, precludes district courts from rendering merits-based conclusions at the class stage. We disagree. In Halliburton, the Supreme Court does not state that merits inquiries or conclusions cannot occur, or must be ignored, in the fact-intensive Rule 23 analysis. Instead, the Supreme Court’s holding was specific to the securities fraud context in Halliburton. 131 S.Ct. at 2183 (). This distinction, in fact, was expressly ### Response: holding that we erred by requiring securities fraud plaintiffs to prove loss causation in order to obtain class certification " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: regulations”); Marotta, 214 So.3d at 599, 2017 WL 1282111, at *7 (“Thus, Congress clearly intended to ‘protect the national economy from the burden imposed by diverse, nonuniform, and confusing cigarette labeling and advertising regulations,’ but did not clearly intend to extend broad immunity from common law liability to cigarette manufacturers.” (citation omitted)). Nothing in these six statutes reflects a federal objective to permit the sale or manufacture of cigarettes. As a result, we cannot say that Congress created a regulatory scheme that does not tolerate tort liability based on the dangerousness of all cigarettes manufactured by the tobacco companies but tolerates tort actions based on theories with a more limited scope. Cf. Altria Grp., 555 U.S. at 90, 129 S.Ct. 538 (); Boerner v.

See State v. Persitz, 518 N.W.2d 843 (Minn.1994). The law presumes sanity and the defendant has the burden of proving each element of the defense of mental illness or mental deficiency by a preponderance of the evidence. See State v. Bouwman, 354 N.W.2d 1, 4 (Minn.1984). Regarding defenses relying upon a defendant’s use of alcohol or drugs, we have consistently held that mental illness caused by voluntary intoxication is not a defense. See State v. Patch, 329 N.W.2d 833, 836 (Minn.1983) (); see also State v. darken, 260 N.W.2d 463, 463 ### Response: holding that a defendants insanity due to voluntary intoxication is not a defense " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Szpunar next argues that Indiana Code section 23-2-1-3 is unconstitutionally vague because it does not specifically define the term security.

Initially we note that this claim is waived because it was not properly raised in the trial court. See Vaillancourt v. State, 695 N.E.2d 606, 610 (Ind.Ct.App.1998), trans. denied (citing Regan v.

Although Lomeli speculated that he would follow Labor Ready’s instructions if they conflicted with Southwest’s instructions, he presented no evidence beyond this speculation that Labor Ready ever gave him any specific instructions on what to do at Southwest and how to do the work that Southwest employees assigned to him, let alone any instructions that conflicted with South west’s instructions. Instead, the only instructions Labor Ready gave to Lomeli were to be at Southwest at 3:30 on November 13, 2007, and to perform the work assigned to him by the Southwest supervisors. See Melancon, 834 F.2d at 1245; Capps, 784 F.2d at 617; cf. Brown, 984 F.2d at 677 ().

Section 925(c) explicitly limits the scope of district court jurisdiction to the “judicial review of [a] denial” by the Secretary of the Treasury of an application for relief. The statutory scheme set forth in Section 925(c) makes it not only “fairly discernible” but abundantly clear that Congress intended to confine the initial adjudication of § 925(c) applications to the Secretary of the Treasury. First, § 925(c) is not written so as to create a freestanding opportunity for relief fr 120 F.3d 1087, 1090 (9th Cir.1997) (); United States v.

City of Tempe v. Outdoor Sys., Inc., 201 Ariz. 106, 111, ¶ 14, 32 P.3d 31, 36 (App.2001). ¶4 Newman asserts that the trial court erred in entering summary judgment for Cornerstone. She argues that to comply with AR.S. § 20-259.01 the insurer must “make available” and “offer” UIM coverage, which she argues must necessarily include providing definite terms such as a premium quote in the blank space provided on the form approved by the Arizona Department of Insurance. To this end, Newman cites, generally, to Tallent v. National Gen. Ins. Co., 185 Ariz. 266, 915 P.2d 665 (1996) and Ballesteros, 226 Ariz. 345, 248 P.3d 193, and, more specifically, to Melendez v.

Ashcroft, 383 F.3d 927, 930 (9th Cir.2004) (“failure to raise an issue in an appeal to the BIA constitutes failure to exhaust remedies with respect to that question and deprives this court of jurisdiction to hear the matter” (citation omitted)). Grilauskaite argues here, as she did before the BIA, that she was denied due process because the IJ did not act as a neutral fact-finder. However, we do not have jurisdiction over this claim because it is not a colorable due process claim. Torres-Aguilar v. I.N.S., 246 F.3d 1267, 1271 (9th Cir.2001) ().

Movant stated to the plea court that he had spoken with his counsel enough to know whether he wanted to plead guilty, his decision to plead guilty was of his own free will, and nobody threatened him to do so. After he was sentenced, Movant was again given the opportunity to indicate whether his pleas of guilty were coerced. Instead, he specifically stated that his pleas were not a result of threats or promises. He further stated that his lawyer answered all his questions, he was afforded enough time to discuss his charges with his lawyer, and aside from a delay in paperwork granting him access to the prison law library, his lawyer “fulfilled everything else” asked of him.

Gutierrez asserted Harrell had been arrested, charged, and convicted of theft, making her ineligible for jury service under Texas law. Furthermore, under McDonough Power Equipment, Inc. v. Greenwood, Gutierrez claimed his due-process rights were violated, because his trial counsel did not make a for-cause challenge based on Harrell’s voir-dire answers. 464 U.S. 548, 104 S.Ct. 845, 78 L.Ed.2d 663 (1984) ().

Robinson, 566 F.3d at 823. Finally, we see no material distinction between subpoenaed deposition testimony and testimony in open court, where both are offered in the context of a judicial or administrative proceeding alleging government misconduct. Caw argues that testimony given during a deposition, which is often conducted in the private confines of a law firm, differs from testimony elicited in court, which is open to the public. We have recognized that the public has a lesser First Amendment interest in accessing pretrial discovery materials. See Kamakana v.

Further, the district court’s reliance on the testimony of MEEI’s patent law expert to support its conclusion that Dr. Levy made a significant contribution is misplaced. The patent law expert testified that a proposed experiment to test 200 mW/cm2, 250 mW/cm2, 300 mW/cm2, and 600 mW/cm2 could not serve as the basis for conception of a range of 300 mW/cm2 to 900 mW/cm2 because the experiments did not test beyond 600 mW/ cm2. Based on this testimony, the district court improperly concluded that an inventor must actually test at 900 mW/cm2 to conceive a range of 300 mW/cm2 to 900 mW/cm2. Testing at exactly the end points of a range is not necessarily required for a conception of that range. See Ralston Purina Co. v. Far-Mar-Co, Inc., 772 F.2d 1570, 1575 (Fed.Cir.1985) ().

Thus, we concluded that the plaintiff could not be considered a party to the insurance contract for purposes of her bad faith action against the insurer since the insurer, in its capacity as the liability insurer of her husband, owed her no contractual good faith duties to settle her claim.

The parties agree that beginning in May 1995, the FBOP began to retain “portions of Morganti’s progress payments under F.A.R. 52.232-5(e), based on Morganti’s failure to make progress.

DSA casts a wide net in its effort to liken this case to Kocken by contending that ""as was the case in Kocken, the real issue is whether Sheriff Clarke has constitutional authority to hire and fire personnel to transport prisoners under § 59.27(4).""

The Eighth Circuit’s consideration of a First Amendment challenge to an across-the-board prohibition of ""adult uses” at establishments holding liquor licenses also suggests that such prohibitions implicate the First Amendment, since the court rejected the challenged based on LaRue.

(R. 1184-85). Furthermore, the photographic exhibits about which the witnesses testified, and that we understand to be those to which Culver now objects, were admitted into evidence without objection at trial. (R. 1135, 1185.) By failing to object to the photographs when they were offered and admitted, Culver has waived appellate review of this argument. See, e.g., Shouldis v.

This review process, not surprisingly, is exclusive. See 8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(b)(9) and (d)(1). Thus, other courts who have confronted this issue have reached the same conclusion. See Howell v. INS, 72 F.3d 288, 293 (2d Cir.1995) (finding jurisdiction lacking where removal proceedings had begun because denials of status adjustment may be reviewed by immigration judges); cf.

The fact remains, however, that it depicted, in Best’s case, an arrest on criminal charges and facts concerning prior arrests or citations. These are legitimate matters of public concern, even if Best’s encounters with the police involved conduct that was arguably toward the lower end of the spectrum of criminality. With these principles in mind, the Court turns to defendants’ argument regarding the construction of IRPA. Federal courts generally “interpret laws consistent with their meaning, but with an eye towards avoiding exposing any constitutional infirmities.” Dean Foods Co. v. Brancel, 187 F.3d 609, 614 (7th Cir.1999). Illinois adheres to this canon as well. See, e.g., In re Estate of Poole, 207 Ill.2d 393, 409, 278 Ill.Dec. 532, 799 N.E.2d 250, 259 (2003) () (citing People v.

See id. at 1302. The court cited the economic loss rule as the basis for its holding: As a general rule, no cause of action lies in tort when purely economic damage is caused by negligent breach of a contractual duty. This economic loss rule prevents recovery for negligence when the duty breached is a contractual duty and the harm incurred is the result of failure of the purpose of the contract. Id. at 1303. A number of courts of appeals cases have applied the economic loss rule in varying contexts since the decision in Jardel. See, e.g., Town of Alma, 985 P.2d at 57 (this appeal); Grynberg v. Agri Tech, Inc., 985 P.2d 59, 63 (Colo.App.1999) (); Terrones v.

Additionally, the Court was especially cognizant of the legislative history of the FPA in which Congress communicated its belief that the FPA did not give the FPC “jurisdiction over local rates.” Id. at 525-28, 65 S.Ct. 749. The Court also cited a House of Representatives report which stated that “no jurisdiction is given over local distribution of electric energy, and the authority of States to fix local rates is not disturbed even in those cases where the energy is brought in from another state.” Id. at 527, 65 S.Ct. 749 (citing H.R.Rep. No. 1318, 74th Cong., 1st Sess. 7, 8, 27 (1935)); cf. Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Co. v. Pub. Serv. Comm’n of Ind., 332 U.S. 507, 68 S.Ct. 190, 92 L.Ed. 128 (1947) ().

Thus, Miller & Custom’s first attempt at service failed because notice was not sent to the Debtor’s attorney. Their second effort by personal service was not attempted until long after the 10 day period after the summons was issued, in violation of the mandate of the last sentence of Bankruptcy Rule 7004(f). Thus, at best, Miller & Custom contend that proper in person-am jurisdiction over the Debtor is deriv ervice of process is defective, any default judgment is void because the court had no jurisdiction over the parties. Kaczmarczik v. Van Meter (In re Van Meter), 175 B.R. 64, 67 (9th Cir. BAP 1994) (); Cossio v.

Because we find that H.B. 1544 attempts to regulate the use of the information legally obtained, we turn to Anderson Courier’s second issue involving commercial free speech. In determining whether a regulation of commercial speech survives First Amendment scrutiny, we look to the factors set forth in Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. v. Public Service Commission, 447 U.S. 557, 100 S.Ct. 2343, 65 L.Ed.2d 341 (1980). Under the Central Hudson test, if a state wishes to regulate truthful, non-deceptive speech relating to a commercial transaction, the state bears the burden of showing that: (1) the state has a substantial interest in supporting the regulation; (2) the regulation directly and materially advances that interest; and (3) the regulatio 1792, 123 L.Ed.2d 543 (1993) (). Despite its substantial interests, the State ### Response: holding that preventing fraud maintaining ethical standards and privacy were substantial interests " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: officers’ comments were not particularly “evocative.” Id. As such, the defendant “was not subjected/by the police to words or actions that the police should have known were likely to elicit an incriminating response.” Id. Innis clearly establishes that interrogation includes express questioning or its functional equivalent — any words or actions that police should know are reasonably likely to elicit an incriminating response. Id. at 300-02, 100 S.Ct. 1682. The Supreme Court has provided little additional guidance on what constitutes the functional equivalent of express questioning, although it has suggested that interrogation may be limited to “compelling influences, psychological ploys, or direct questioning.” Arizona v. Mauro, 481 U.S. 520, 529, 107 S.Ct. 1931, 95 L.Ed.2d 458 (1987) (). Innis thus provides a very general rule, and ### Response: holding that allowing suspect to speak with his wife in the presence of a police officer was not interrogation as it did not fall into any of these categories " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: basis of injuries to third parties, unless the plaintiff additionally demonstrates “a close relation to the injured third party and a hindrance to that party’s ability to protect its own interests.” Mid-Hudson Catskill Rural Migrant Ministry, Inc. v. Fine Host Corp., 418 F.3d 168, 174 (2d Cir. 2005). Here, however, Salim is not suing on his parents’ behalf; instead, he seeks to assert his rights under a contract he allegedly formed with the Trustee. And while Sal-im’s parents may have been beneficiaries of this alleged agreement, insofar as it purported to shield them from suit, Salim brings this action as the contract’s principal. Moreover, Salim seeks to recover damages for his own injuries, not for any injuries his parents may have sustained. See, e.g., Leibovitz, 252 F.3d at 188 ().

Thus, the RLCWA has satisfied the pipes-in-the-ground test. The parties disagree, however, over whether the RLCWA has the legal right to serve Fox Run. Ohio law gives water districts plenary authority “[t]o supply water to users within and without the district.” Le-Ax, 346 F.3d at 707 (quoting O.R.C. § 6119.01(A)). Because the RLCWA is a regional water district in the State of Ohio, and because Fox Run is located within the RLCWA’s service district, the Court concludes that the RLCWA has the legal right to serve Fox Run. Id. While Grafton admits that “Fox Run was an area within the water district served by RLCWA and was included in the or exation of land within area served by water district did not act to remove that land from water district’s service area). Cf.

We have recently confirmed that these holdings apply at least to areas of greater than 5,000 acres, even if they have not previously been inventoried for wilderness consideration, and also to inventoried areas of under 5,000 acres. Lands Council v. Martin, 479 F.3d 636, 640 (9th Cir.2007). Because “[r]oadless areas ... also help conserve some of the last unspoiled wilderness in our country,” Kootenai Tribe of Idaho v. Veneman, 313 F.3d 1094, 1121 (9th Cir.2002), there is no reason to suppose that such characteristics, when they appear on BLM land, rather than on Forest Service land, do not implicate the planning process. They therefore also implicate NEPA. An ater, 173 F.3d 1033, , 174 F.3d 180, 187 (4th Cir.1999) (); Sierra Club v.

Kinney Air Conditioning Co., 756 F.2d 742, 744 (9th Cir.1985) (noting that procedural questions are “part of the bundle of issues committed to decision by the arbitrator”). The institutional role of the judiciary with respect to the conduct of the arbitral process is a limited one. See John Wiley & Sons v.

Unless specific facts (e.g., a contract which required the Space Needle to provide for the safety of the workers) pointed to retained right of control, the principal would have no liability.

Therefore, any potential contacts by DSM Dyneema, B.V. with South Carolina or Virginia are irrelevant to this Court’s analysis of whether a federal court in North Carolina has personal jurisdiction over these claims. As to the availability of goods in North Carolina, the Supreme Court noted in J. McIntyre Machinery, Ltd. v. Nicastro that “[t]he defendant’s transmission of goods permits the exercise of jurisdiction only where the defendant can be said to have targeted the forum; as a general rule, it is not enough that the defendant might have predicted that its goods will reach the forum State.” Nicastro, — U.S. -, 131 S.Ct. 2780, 2788, 180 L.Ed.2d 765 (2011); see also Goodyear Dunlop Tires Operations, S.A. v.

However, given the fact that Reilly held the agreement for a period of one to six months before signing it, and that Reilly had the assistance of counsel during that time period, I note that it would be difficult for Reilly to maintain that he was under such pressure as to have been deprived of his free will or free agency in signing the agreement.

Id. at 66 n. 1, 468 A.2d at 461 n. 1. In arguing that the restraint is unreasonable, Warrington relies in part on California case law that holds due-on-sale and due-on-encumbrance clauses, though not per se unreasonable, to be unreasonable where enforcement is unnecessary to protect the lender’s security interest.

In the context of a guilty plea, an error affects substantial rights when, considering the record as a whole, we do not have a fair assurance that the defendant’s decision to plead guilty would not have changed had the trial court properly admonished him. Anderson v. State, 182 S.W.3d 914, 919 (Tex.Crim.App.2006). 2. Analysis Prior to accepting his plea, the trial court admonished appellant, but failed to admonish him on the range of punishment. Appellant contends the trial court’s error in failing to admonish him on the applicable range of punishment requires reversal without a harm analysis. In support of his position, appellant relies on the Supreme Court’s opinion in Boykin. See Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 242, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 1711, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969) ().

Although a dismissal of the family court action certainly may have an effect on whether Stone pursues the circuit court action against Thompson, the two actions are completely separate. Therefore, the family court’s order, which retains subject matter jurisdiction over this case, does not deprive Thompson of a mode of trial to which she may speculatively be entitled to as a matter of right in another case. See Flagstar Corp., 341 S.C. at 72, 533 S.E.2d at 333 (stating the traditional analysis of subsection (2) is whether “a party is erroneously denied a trial by jury in a law case, or is erroneously required to proceed before a jury in an equity case”); see also, e.g., Woodard v.

In the leading case on Section 230 immunity, the federal Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Zeran v. Am. Online, Inc., 129 F.3d 327 (4th Cir.1997), noted that: By its plain language, § 230 creates a federal immunity to any cause of action that would make service providers liable for information originating with a third-party user of the service. Specifically, § 230 precludes courts from entertaining claims that would place a computer service provider in a publisher’s role.

The plaintiffs claim against Ser-vinsky for breach of .implied warranty does not survive the Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings. A claim for breach of implied warranty is not distinct from a claim for breach of contract, because any implied warranties arise out of the contract. See, e.g., Cent. Park Drive, LLC v. Rinker Design Assocs., No. CL-2008-4207, 2008 WL 4376203 (Va.Cir.Ct. Aug. 19, 2008) (“Because RDA’s implied warranty of care arises out of its contract with the Plaintiff, any breach of the implied warranty would also constitute a breach of the contract itself.”). The impediment to the plaintiffs claim for breach of implied warranty is that he cannot establish privity of contract 'with Servinsky. See Gravely v.

United States, 364 U.S. 350, 353, 81 S.Ct. 147, 149-50, 5 L.Ed.2d 120 (1960) (breach of peace not a crime involving moral turpitude, because no “fraudulent conduct” was involved). Courts have consistently held that statutory rape is a crime involving moral turpitude, even though it has no intent element, because such a crime is “usually classed as rape,” which “manifestly involves moral turpitude.” See, e.g., Marciano, 450 F.2d at 1025 (citing cases so holding). So, too, courts have expressed similar certainty that theft crimes involve moral turpitude. See, e.g., Dashto v. INS, 59 F.3d 697, 699 (7th Cir.1995) (); United States v.

To answer this question, it is helpful to review “the basic objectives of trademark law,” which the United States Supreme Court has described as follows: In principle, trademark law, by preventing others from copying a source-identifying mark, “reduce[s] the customer’s costs of shopping and making purchasing decisions,” for it quickly and easily assures a potential customer that this item — the item with this mark — is made by the same producer as other similarly marked items that he or she liked (or disliked) in the past.

Admittedly, this inference is weak in light of the fact that the Mejias have provided no explanation of why Airborne’s Bezmen would vouch for the existence of such a call on behalf of the other defendants. (See, e.g., Luis Mejia Dep. at 351 (""I don’t know what was going on between them and Brenda Tipton. For all I know, they were having an affair. Who, God knows what was going on.”).) Still, the weakness of the inference that there was no call from ""Luis” to Airborne is ultimately immaterial, for, as detailed below, a reasonable juror could conclude that probable cause was lacking at the time of the arrest even if there was such a call. 30 .

Third, the district court did not err in denying appellant’s request to represent himself, finding that such requests were delaying tactics. See United States v. Flewitt, 874 F.2d 669, 675 (9th Cir.1989) (noting that if the “request [to proceed pro se] is part of a pattern of dilatory activity, the court has the discretion to deny the continuance and require the defendant to proceed to trial on the scheduled date either with the counsel designated or pro se”); see also Jackson v.

Most of the newspaper articles about the case did not mention Mills, but rather reported the progress of the search for Les Lawhon. Moreover, the articles that mentioned Mills did so in the context of reporting on an unfolding case. No editorials sounded the call for justice, nor did any county officials make public, blatantly prejudicial comments. See Coleman, 778 F.2d at 1538-40 (finding presumed prejudice partially based on the widespread reporting of the county sheriffs statement that he would like to “pre-cook” the defendants in an oven before they were executed). Finally, the disclosure that Mills was in jail for a parole violation did not suggest that juror prejudice should have been presumed. See Marsden v. Moore, 847 F.2d 1536, 1543 (11th Cir.)

The majority either assumes the trial court had the foresight to consider factors this Court would, more than two years later, recognize as important in assessing admissibility of victim related evidence at punishment in a capital murder case or undertakes the appropriate consideration of such factors itself in a kind of silent de novo review to which no one is privy. In either case, I decline to join them. At the time of appellant’s trial admissibility of victim related evidence at punishment was, at the very most, questionable. Mosley v.

It was therefore essential in this case that the court give a specific account of its decisionmaking, and to clearly set forth its account of what harm would result from the shift in the legal standard. This it failed to do. A district court that gives “insufficient reasons” for its equitable decision abuses its discretion. See Dubicz v.

Whataburger does not dispute that it owed a duty to Dean, as its employee, but observes that its duty is to protect its employees from foreseeable harms. The issue in this case, whether analyzed' as a part of the duty element of negligence or the causation element, is the foreseeability of the criminal conduct that led to Dean’s murder. As the Texas cases that discuss the foreseeability of intervening criminal conduct do so, in the main, in the context of the element of duty, we do so as well. See, e.g., Timberwalk Apartments, Partners, Inc. v. Cain, 972 S.W.2d 749, 756 (Tex.1998) (); Walker v.

Cudjoe, 297 F.3d at 1067. 5 . ""Hurting him” here refers to the general emotional trauma the Muskrats reported to the school, not the medical consequences they now attribute to the timeouts. Cf.

The present record includes only part of the voir dire proceedings, that is, the individual voir dire strikes and final jury selection. During the motion for new trial hearing, counsel said it was his typical practice to have the voir dire recorded and that there was no trial strategy associated with the failure to ensure that a full record was made of voir dire. Mere failure of counsel to request recordation of the voir dire examination is not ineffective assistance of counsel per se. Ybarra v. State, 890 S.W.2d 98, 112 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 1994, pet. ref'd); Wills v.

Again there is a split in the circuits on this issue. The Ninth and Tenth Circuits, as well as a number of district courts, have held that the required use of accrued benefits to cover partial day absences from work does not violate the salary basis test. Barner v. City of Novato, 17 F.3d 1256, 1261-62 (9th Cir.1994); Aaron v. City of Wichita, 54 F.3d 652, 658 (10th Cir.); Bennett v. City of Albuquerque, No. 94-2094, 1995 WL 230315 (10th Cir.

Id. (citing People v. Paynter, 955 P.2d 68, 73-75 (Colo.1998)). In addition to these factors, we have considered whether, and under what cireum-stances, a police officer's request for a citizen's identification and subsequent check for outstanding warrants transforms a consensual encounter into an investigatory stop. See Martinez, 200 P.3d at 1058-59 (); Padgett, 932 P.2d at 814 (holding that the ### Response: holding that the police subjected the defendant to an investigatory stop when they directed the de fendant to come out of the bathroom and into a separate room and then ran a clearance check to determine whether the defendant had any outstanding warrants " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of discussion of discriminatory intent based upon race. The provision of 1968 did more than reflect mere “cosmetic” changes but contained substantially revisions to the 1885 law. The framers and ratifiers of the 1968 Constitution deliberately chose to change the prohibition on voting by felons in order to achieve a different and new result in terms of the persons who would be disqualified. The 1968 Constitution altered Article VI, Section 4, of the 1885 Constitution to categorically disqualify felons not only from voting but also from holding office. Additionally, it changed Article VI, Section 5, of the 1885 Constitution by deleting specific crimes that would have triggered disqualification included some misdemeanors. See, e.g., State ex rel. Jordan v. Buckman, 18 Fla. 267 (1881) ().

The Fifth Amended Complaint challenged specifications for the first time in this case as to the 2009-10 specifications and quotas, rather than in a separate action as NRDC had done before without exception. Indeed, because NRDC did not file a separate action to challenge the 2009-10 specifications, the Fifth Amended Complaint challenged those specifications for the first time ever, in this case or any other. The magistrate judge therefore had not engaged — much less substantially engaged — the 2009-10 specifications in any prior proceeding in this case. At the time WCSPA moved to intervene, this case was not “at issue;” NMFS had not even filed a responsive pleading to the Fifth Amended Complaint. See LULAC, 131 F.3d at 1303 ().

Mukasey, 527 F.3d 912, 916 (9th Cir.2008). We dismiss in part, deny in part and grant in part the petition for review, and we remand. We lack jurisdiction to consider Liang’s contention that his former attorney provided ineffective assistance of counsel because he did not exhaust this claim before the BIA. See Ontiveros-Lopez v. INS, 213 F.3d 1121, 1124 (9th Cir.2000). Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination because Liang’s inconsistency regarding whether or not he lived in Venezuela for three years before coming to the United States was not a minor discrepancy, see Chebchoub, 257 F.3d at 1043, and he failed to provide corroborating evidence of his identity, see Sidhu v.

Moreover, once inside 90 Market Street, Lombardo’s flight and Keating’s presence in the upstairs bathroom provided additional justification for the search of the residence. We find the search reasonable. C. The Strip Search of Keating Was Reasonable. We also agree with the District Court that the strip search of Keating was reasonable under the circumstances. The reasonableness of a strip search or visual cavity search is assessed by considering the totality of the circumstances, including “the scope of the particular intrusion, the manner in which it is conducted, the justification for initiating it, and the place in which it is conducted.” See Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 620, 559, 99 S.Ct. 1861, 60 L.Ed,2d 447 (1979) ().

While the minority’s analysis in Hobby Lobby on the jurisdictional nature of the AIA may be compelling, it does not change the fact that this Court is bound by U.S. Supreme Court and Tenth Circuit case law holding the opposite. Therefore, the Court concludes the AIA applies in this case and operates to strip the Court of subject matter jurisdiction over the Tribe’s lawsuit. The same conclusion applies with respect to the Declaratory Judgment Act (DJA). See Wyo. Trucking Ass’n v. Bentsen, 82 F.3d 930, 935 (10th Cir.1996) ().

In this Circuit, the types of evidence relied upon by district courts to determine that a particular substance is crack cocaine under the Guidelines include: (1) a chemist’s testimony that the substance was cocaine base, combined with an investigator’s testimony that the substance was crack, and the defendant’s own admission that he sold “rock,” see Robinson, 144 F.3d at 109; (2) a chemist’s testimony that the substance was cocaine base and that sodium bicarbonate (usually used in processing crack cocaine) was present, together with the testimony of three different law enforcement agents that the substance was crack, see Richardson, 225 F.3d at 50.

The fraudulent check amount that Dul-lum argues should not be included in the total loss for purposes of determining his enhancement was the $10,000 rental check he cashed, which served as the basis for the bank fraud count. He admitted, however, that he intended the money to “help out some of [his] financial burdens,” including a withdrawal of $7,000 to pay back his home equity line and his intention to use the money to cover any outstanding payments on the rental property if necessary. He only repaid to the bank the fraudulent check amount after a Secret Service investigation had begun and his accounts were frozen. Dullum did not pre-vide any evidence to the contrary at sentencing.

Construing Kawa’s complaint liberally, I understand Kawa to have easily alleged facts sufficient to demonstrate Article III standing in its complaint. Of course, my view on the issue of standing has nothing to do with the merits of Kawa’s complaint challenging the employer mandate’s delayed enforcement under the APA. In fact, any discussion of the merits here would be inappropriate. See, e.g., Mulhall v. UNITE HERE Local 855, 618 F.3d 1279, 1294 (11th Cir.2010) ().

Because the court finds that the Tofel Firm is not prepared to continue the Porzio Firm's representation, any counsel replacing the Porzio Firm would face insurmountable obstacles in attempting to prepare for the January 8, 1996 trial of the common law claims in this action. On the one hand, failure by this court to grant such replacement counsel a continuance of that trial would result in prejudice to the Laga Defendants. On the other hand, any further delay of that trial would result in prejudice to the other litigants in this matter. Such prejudice weighs heavily in the court's determination of whether to deny the Porzio Firm's motion. Johnson v.

The measure of business conduct for purposes of this defense should be limited to the legitimate practices of legitimate businesses. This court declines to apply the Defendants’ reasoning; ordinary businesses do not pay fictitious profits or systematically defraud their customers or their lenders. See, e.g., M & L Bus. Mach.

Because Jimarez refused to testify at Defendant Rivas-Macias’ trial, the proceeding at issue here, Defendant cannot establish that Jimarez engaged in a testimonial waiver of the privilege. Defendant’s argument to the contrary is unpersuasive. The privilege against self-incrimination protects against a party forcing an individual to adopt, at trial, “his unsworn out-of-court confession.” Silverstein, 732 F.2d at 1347; see also United States v.

Congress has exercised its power over immigration in the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. § 1101, et seq. (the “INA”). The INA is a comprehensive regulatory scheme which regulates the authorized entry, length of stay, residence status, and deportation of aliens. See Gonzales v.

Defendant argues that the Final Judgment cannot be enforced against him, and that plaintiff should be required to reassert her now eighteen-year-old claim, although defendant argues that the reasserted claims would be barred by the statute of limitations. Defendant’s argument is without merit. The defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and venue are waived as a matter of law if not raised “at the earliest opportunity.” See Euler-Siac S.P.A. v.

Pen.Code § 1.07(a)(46). The plain language of the statute therefore defines serious bodily injury in terms of bodily injury; though some forms of bodily injury are not “serious bodily injury,” all forms of “serious bodily injury” include bodily injury. Moreover, death is also bodily injury under the plain meaning of the Penal Code because it is an “impairment of physical condition.” See Tex. Pen.Code § 1.07(a)(8). In proving appellant caused the complainant’s death, the State necessarily had to prove that appellant caused bodily injury to the complainant. See Cumbie v.

If the investigatory stops of motorcyclists continued for an extended period of time, probable cause that the motorcyclists knew about the helmet’s non-compliance could be required. “Obviously, if an investigative stop continues indefinitely, at some point it can no longer be justified as an investigative stop.

Specifically, at the time of the GPS tracking in Fisher, “the Supreme Court had strongly indicated, and the Sixth Circuit and three other circuits had held, that the warrantless use of electronic tracking devices was permissible.” Id. at 203. Also, as the Seventh Circuit has recognized, “circuits that did not have their own GPS precedent prior to Jones have uniformly concluded that [the Supreme Court’s decision in] Knotts is binding appellate precedent for the purpose of Davis’s good-faith exception, even when police officers’ GPS monitoring lasted for a longer period of time.” United States v.

Id. at 541. In other words, the Court apparently looked beyond the requirements of the underlying offense, ordinary negligence, to determine if the death was “a probable consequence” of this particular defendant’s action. As we note later, this view has been expressed by a few other jurisdictions, and it represents a minority view that has merit— as long as the jury is properly instructed that the probable consequences of the defendant’s actions were obvious. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court in Commonwealth v. Heck, 517 Pa. 192, 535 A.2d 575, 579 (1987), decided after Jumper, held the contrary view that a showing of criminal negligence is required for vehicular homicide. 11. —The misdemeanor -29 (1992) (); but see United States v.

Thus Aspex’s own reasoning acknowledges that, if the magnetic members of claim 18 of the '545 patent are limited to horizontal orientation, as the court held that they are, Aspex IV, 2007 WL 2984673, at *23, the scope of claim 18 of the '545 patent is not the same as that of claim 2 of the '207 patent, because the former’s magnetic members are limited to horizontal orientation while the latter’s do not contain this limitation. Because claim 18 of the '545 reissue patent contains a limitation not present in claim 2 of the original '207 patent — that the magnetic members possess horizontal orientation and thus engage vertically— and this limitation affects the scope of the claims, these two claims are not substantially identical.

Indeed, it was under the circumstances just described that Samantha, seated only a few feet from Jonathan and Gabe, was shot. It is therefore easily seen that if the horse had bucked in a slightly different way as Appellant continued to fire his gun, any of the shots could have hit Jonathan or Gabe as surely as the one that hit Samantha. Appellant’s conduct, as indicated by the Commonwealth’s evidence, exhibited an extreme indifference to the value of human life and created a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to Jonathan and Gabe. Appellant was not entitled to a directed verdict on these two charges. See Port v. Commonwealth, 906 S.W.2d 327, 334 (Ky.1995) (); Combs v.

Comm’r, 60 T.C. 108, 113 (U.S.Tax Ct.1973). Thus under Treas. Reg. § 1.164-3(b), deductions pursuant to § 164(a)(1) may only be taken on taxes actually imposed on interests in real property. Furthermore, Treas. Reg. § 1.164-1 (as amended in 1978), which states that generally, “taxes are deductible only by the person upon whom they are imposed,” reinforces the notion that real property taxes must first be imposed before they may be deducted for federal income tax purposes.

Second, the mere decision by a defendant in the United States to discriminate against employees abroad cannot serve as the basis for a claim pursuant to Section 1981. The statute prohibits acts of discrimination committed against “persons who are within the jurisdiction of United States,” 42 U.S.C. § 1981(a) (emphasis added).

Jurisdiction Over the DOC We begin by noting that the Safebloek system was provided as a privilege to inmates for the purpose of making personal telephone calls. Powell does not argue, and this court has never held, that inmates have a constitutional right to use the phone for personal and social purposes. Although prisoners do have a right of access to the courts, which can include telephonic access upon occasion, such access is not at issue in this case. See, e.g., Ramos v.

The Federal Circuit held in Golden Pacific that bank seizures do not constitute regulatory takings under the Fifth Amendment, because investors in banks do not have a reasonable investment-backed expectation that regulators will not seize banks that are deemed to be in trouble. Id. at 1074 (“Given the highly regulated nature of the banking industry, ... the [federal regulators’ seizure of the bank] could not possibly have interfered with a reasonable investment-backed expectation on the part of Golden Pacific.”). The principle that a bank seizure does not provide the basis for a valid takings claim in this court is set forth in numerous eases in this circuit, and remains good law. See, e.g., Cal. Hous.

The investigators further searched Defendant’s car and found neither drugs nor paraphernalia.

We therefore reverse Defendant’s conviction and remand this matter to the trial court for resentencing on the lesser-included offense of possession of cocaine. See State v. Simmons, 165 N.C.

Notably, Sturdivant does not claim that the officers failed to advise him of the Miranda warnings before any of the interviews, nor does he claim that he did not understand his rights or that his waivers were not knowingly and voluntarily made. Rather, he takes issue with the fact that Sandoval gave him his Miranda warnings orally during the unrecorded interviews, using a written Miranda waiver only after he confessed. Sturdivant does not direct our attention to any case law, from this court or any other court, in support of his position. At any rate, the absence of a written Miranda waiver did not render Sturdi-vant’s oral waivers or subsequent confessions involuntary products of coercion. See United States v. Murdock, 491 F.3d 694, 700 (7th Cir.2007) ().

The Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 15, 26, grants a private right of action to, inter alia, a person “injured in his business or property” by a violation of section 1 of the Sherman Act. Smith misconstrues the law in arguing that the Supreme Court has refused to limit antitrust remedies to commercial interests. The cases she cites address whether the plaintiffs alleged injuries within the meaning of the Clayton Act; in that context, the Court held that the statute was not limited to redressing injuries to commercial interests. See Reiter v. Sonotone Corp., 442 U.S. 330, 338-39, 99 S.Ct. 2326, 2330-31, 60 L.Ed.2d 931 (1979) (); Blue Shield of Va. v.

An alien must demonstrate ten years of continuous physical presence in the United States prior to applying for this new form of relief. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229b(b)(l)(A).

The reasoning for this retention of limited jurisdiction makes intuitive sense.’As the court in Col-train v. Shewalter explained, a voluntary dismissal should not automatically preclude an award of attorneys’ fees to a defendant because [ojtherwise, SLAPP plaintiffs could achieve most of their objective with little risk — by filing a SLAPP suit, forcing the defendant to incur the effort and expense of preparing a special motion to strike, then dismissing the action without prejudice.

Instead, the Millers argue that they are entitled to a less stringent standard because they are not attacking the validity of the foreclosure sale but, rather, are seeking only compensatory damages arising from the sale. The Millers are correct that the above three-part standard — in particular the requirement to show a grossly inadequate selling price — does not apply to all wrongful foreclosure claims* under Texas law. However, the cases on which the Millers rely establish only a particularized exception whereby the plaintiff-mortgagor may avoid showing a grossly inadequate selling price if he or she alleges that the defendant-mortgagee (lender) deliberately “chilled” the bidding at the foreclosure sale. See, e.g., Charter Nat’l Bank, 781 S.W.2d at 371 ().

A at p. 11 of 26.) Thus, Plaintiff has no contractual claim to acceleration of the annual maintenance fee. Second, Plaintiff would be unjustly enriched if it were allowed to accelerate the annual maintenance fee where it is in possession of the IMAX system and cannot possibly have any future maintenance obligations to Defendant. See Mitchell v. Moore, 729 A.2d 1200, 1203 (Pa.Super.Ct.1999) ().

With regard to the questioning by the trial court, which Overton contends functioned as action from a “second prosecutor,” there was not any bias displayed by the trial court in favor of either the State or Overton. Instead, the court questioned witnesses to clarify certain points after both parties asked initial questions and also to gain further knowledge into background information with regard to the witnesses. As evidenced by the length of the evidentiary hearing, we conclude that the trial court’s refusal to rush through the evidentiary hearing and the decision to ask questions to ensure that all pertinent information was on the record helped facilitate a full and fair hearing here. See Sims v. State, 754 So.2d 657, 666 (Fla.2000) ().

This principle simply restates, of course, the criteria described in the first sentence of section 228.342. For this purpose, Mis souri courts have defined “strict necessity” as “ ‘the lack of a legally enforceable right to use a practicable way to and from a person’s land, either private or public.’” Id. (quoting Kirkpatrick v. Webb, 58 S.W.3d 903, 907 (Mo.App. S.D.2001)). Under this definition, if property has no physical access to a public road and no other legally enforceable right to use a practicable way to a public road (such as an express easement, for example), then strict necessity for a private road has been established. See, e.g., Beery, 193 S.W.3d at 441-42 ().

A DUI suspect has a due process right to gather exculpatory evidence. See Smith v. Coda, 114 Ariz. 510, 512-13, 562 P.2d 390, 392-93 (App.1977). Due process, however, requires only that a defendant be given a “reasonable opportunity” to obtain exculpatory evidence. Van Herreweghe v. Burke ex rel.

In view of the case law and the record we are unable to say that the district court abused its discretion. B. MONDSCHEIN’S CLAIM OF DEMAND FUTILITY Unlike Stepak; Mondschein did not make a demand upon the Board. Instead, Mondschein alleged that demand was futile and therefore excused. The district court rejected this argument and held that under Spiegel v. Buntrock, 571 A.2d 767 (Del.1990), and Stotland v. GAF Corp., 469 A.2d 421 (Del.1983), Stepak’s demand precluded any Southern stockholder from prosecuting a demand other excused derivative suit based on the claims covered by the Stepak demand letter. The district court is not alone in its analysis. See Boeing Co. v. Shrontz, Del.Ch. (Civ. A. No. 11,278, April 20, 1992), 18 Del. J.Corp.L. 225, 237 (1993) ().

The range of time and offenses involved, and the size of our military forces underscore the effect of ret-roactivity on the administration of justice. The difficulties and dangers in reopening large numbers of such cases obviously argue with great force for prospective application of O’Callahan. In sum we are persuaded that the criteria under Supreme Court decisions justify and strongly call for limiting to prospective application the ruling in O’Callahan v. Parker. We agree with the view of the District Judges in these proceedings and those of the several courts that have reached a like conclusion. See Gosa v.

The crux of Williams's allegation of ineffective assistance is identical to his allegation of fundamental error, that is, his convictions lacked sufficient evidentiary support. Generally, allegations of errors not raised on direct appeal are considered waived for purposes of post-conviction relief. Green v. State, 525 NE.2d 1260, 1261 (Ind.Ct.App.1988). However, conviction without sufficient evidence constitutes fundamental error, and fundamental error may be raised in a post-conviction proceeding, within the rules of post-conviction procedure. Id.

Because National Insurance, as subrogee, is only entitled to indemnity for its payment to Tabacalera, we believe that the district court did not err in computing prejudgment interest from the date that National Insurance paid Tabacalera’s claim. D. Simple Prejudgment Interest On cross-appeal, National Insurance also submits that the district court erred in awarding simple rather than compound prejudgment interest. As a general rule, the decision whether to award compound or simple prejudgment interest is left to the discretion of the trial court. See Gorenstein Enters., Inc. v.

Browning-Ferris Industries, Inc., 33 F.3d 96, 100 (1st Cir.1994). Courts filled this gap by interpreting § 107(a)(4)(B) as providing a private right of action by which a party, who had expended resources on cleanup efforts, could obtain contribution from others. See Key Tronic Corp. v. United States, 511 U.S. 809, 816 n. 7, 114 S.Ct. at 1965 n. 7, 128 L.Ed.2d 797 (1994) (noting interpretation); United States v.

The trial court asked during closing argument whether the sole issue was the exigent circumstances question, and neither the prosecutor nor defense counsel corrected the court’s impression. After the trial court orally ruled in favor of the State on the exigent circumstances question, defense counsel asked to clarify several points. None of the matters sought to be clarified involved the pretext issue sought to be argued here, and counsel did not request that the trial court rule on this issue. Under these circumstances we hold that Defendants failed to preserve this issue for appellate review. Cf. State v.

Ford, 52 V.I. at 53-59. Thus, the July 7, 2009 Opinion itself provides strong evidence that Kendall’s stated reason for recusal was a pretext, in that Kendall continued to issue rulings in the matter — including in the same document in which he announced his recusal — despite claiming to have been biased against one of the parties. Under these circumstances, we find Kendall guilty of indirect criminal contempt through failure to comply with the May 13, 2009 Opinion and Order. See Palmer, 418 N.E.2d at 532 (). D.

The general rule regarding damages occasioned by the total destruction of one’s motor vehicle has long been limited to recovery simply for the vehicle’s value at the time of destruction. The reason for this rule is not clear. It may be based upon the historical limitation contained in an action for trover at common law; or because plaintiff has the presumed ability to enter the marketplace with the sum awarded and purchase another product; or perhaps upon the theory that in recovering the full value of the vehicle as of the date of destruction, the owner has been made whole. Allanson v. Cummings, 81 A.D.2d 16, 439 N.Y.S.2d 545, 546-47 (1981) (citations and internal quotat 1962) ().

An independent executor’s fiduciary duty runs to the estate’s beneficiaries, and it arises from his status as trustee of the estate’s property.

Hamlet, 456 F.2d at 1285; Theriault, 440 F.2d at 715. However, the guarantees of section 3006A(e) are distinct in at least one important respect: the statute provides a defendant expert assistance for preparation for his trial, and provision of those statutory guarantees therefore takes on a constitutional dimension not present in collateral habeas corpus proceedings.

There is no indication that the superior court adjusted the valuation of any of the other assets comprising the marital estate to account for any post-trial appreciation.

See Fisher, 475 U.S. at 270 n. 2, 106 S.Ct. 1045 (); Copperweld, 467 U.S. at 774-75, 104 S.Ct. ### Response: holding that an allegation of monopolization or attempted monopolization would go beyond the scope of the facial preemption challenge presented here " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: modification suit, does a trial court have jurisdiction and authority to order payment of attorney’s fees as additional child support? Under his first issue, Ross argues that in a modification suit in which the trial court does not order a party to pay a past-due child-support obligation, the trial court has no authority to order payment of attorney’s fees to a parent or amicus attorney as additional child support. The reasoning of the First Court of Appeals in In re Moers supports Ross’s argument. See 104 S.W.3d 609, 611-12 (Tex.App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 2003, no pet.). Though he relies upon the In re Moers case, Ross acknowledges that this court declined to follow In re Moers and held to the contrary in Hardin v. Hardin. See 161 S.W.3d 14, 24-27 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2004) (), judgm’t vacated, op. not withdrawn, No. ### Response: holding in nonenforcement modification suit that court of continuing jurisdiction may order one parent to pay the reasonable attorneys fees of the other parent as additional child support if the fees are necessaries for the benefit of the children " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Martin v. Malhoyt, 830 F.2d 237, 264 (D.C.Cir.1987) (quoting Restatement (Second) of Judgments § 13 cmt. f(1982)). Therefore, the defendants could have included the affirmative defenses in their answer. But delay alone is not sufficient reason to deny a motion for leave to amend a pleading, and although the delay here is substantial, it must be weighed against the “time and judi ndants’ dispositive motions, taken alone, should fail because they incorporate affirmative defenses not set forth in their answer. See Harris, 126 F.3d at 345; Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(c). But the fact that the defendants erred in filing their dispositive motion before seeking leave to amend their answer does not persuade the court to deny their motion for leave to file an amended answer. See Harris, 126 F.3d at 345 (). Indeed, allowing the defendants to amend ### Response: holding that the defendant could not raise affirmative defenses initially in its dispositive motion but remanding the case to the trial court to determine if leave to amend answer to incorporate affirmative defenses was appropriate so that the defendant could then properly raise those defenses in its dispositive motion " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: because Shushan applies the analysis used for class actions brought under Rule 23, and because the Fifth Cir cuit has described Rule 23’s “opt out” procedure as fundamentally and irreconcilably different from § 216 (b)’s “opt in” proee-dure, see LaChapelle v. Owens-Illinois, Inc., 513 F.2d 286, 288 (5th Cir.1975) (per curiam), most courts in this district follow the Lusardi approach. See Sandoz, 553 F.3d at 915 n. 2. See also Tolentino v. C & J Spec-Rent Services Inc., 716 F.Supp.2d 642, 646 (S.D.Tex.2010) (collecting cases). This court, therefore, will analyze plaintiffs motion using the Lusardi approach. At this initial state of the Lusardi approach, a plaintiff need only make a minimum showing to persuade the court to issue notice to potential class members. Mooney, 54 F.3d at 1214 ().

Based on these considerations, Agent Faria’s conduct, though reprehensible, did not rise to the level of fundamental unfairness and outrageousness contemplated by this Court’s precedent. See id. at 868-69. Moreover, as the magistrate judge noted, neither this Court nor the Supreme Court has reversed a conviction because of a failure to dismiss a case based on government misconduct, and this case is not one of the rare instances in which government conduct was so outrageous that it violated due process. See United States v. Tobias, 662 F.2d 381, 385-87 (5th Cir. Unit B Nov.1981) (). Moreover, even if Valencia-Vergara had shown ### Response: holding where 1 the government provided the defendant with all the necessary drugmaking materials 2 the government provided instructions on how to make the drugs and 3 the defendant sought out the materials and help from the undercover government agents the case set the outer limits to which the government may go in the quest to ferret out and prosecute crimes but the governments conduct did not rise to the level of a due process violation " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: considered the claim of the mother to be more analogous to a direct claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress. As explained by the Court in Giardina, “the medical malpractice causing an infant stillbirth constitutes a tort against the parents, entailing the direct infliction of injury, their emotional distress and mental suffering, for which they are entitled to recover compensatory damages.” 111 N.J. at 413, 545 A.2d 139. In reaching that conclusion the Court drew on cases involving so-called wrongful-birth and wrongful-life causes of action, which recognize direct claims by parents for the infliction of emotional distress from negligent advice or genetic counselling in anticipation of or during pregnancy, see, e.g., Procanik v. Cilio, 97 N.J. 339, 352, 478 A.2d 755 (1984) (); Schroeder v.

Id. at 234-35. On this basis, we concluded that “[t]he church’s interstate connections were direct, regular, and substantial.” Id. at 234. Other courts have similarly found churches to affect interstate commerce where the church has some active commercial connection. See United States v. Terry, 257 F.3d 366, 369-70 (4th Cir.2001) (finding that a church daycare center “was actively engaged in commercial activity” because it provided childcare services for payment); United States v. Grassie, 237 F.3d 1199, 1209 n. 7 (10th Cir.2001) ().

Bell, 833 F.2d 272, 277 (11th Cir.1987) (finding that although federal authorities were highly involved in the defendant’s initial arrest, “it was only after the federal indictment ... that the clock under the Speedy Trial Act began running”). Mr. Bocanegra argues that because the agents that led the investigation and arrested him were federal officials, his arrest was in effect a federal arrest. This circuit’s precedent, however, is contrary to Mr. Bocanegra’s argument given the factual findings of the district court. “[I]f one is held by state officers on a state charge and subsequently turned over to federal authorities for federal prosecution, the starting date for purposes of the Act is the date that the defendant is delivered into federal custody.” Shahryar, 719 F.2d at 1525 ().

Having reviewed the magistrate’s order and the record, we agree with the Superior Court that the magistrate did not commit clear error in his determination of actual notice. To show that the opposing party received actual notice, a party is not required to prove that any particular form, such as personal service by a process server or service by mail, was used. See Tulsa, 485 U.S. at 491 (permitting actual notice to be given by “ ‘mail or other means as certain to ensure actual notice.’ ”) (quoting Mennonite, 462 U.S. at 800). In the present context, the critical issue under Tulsa is whether or not the claimants had actual knowledge of the creation and pendency of the estate, not the form the notice took. See In re Estate of Sheridan, 117 P.3d 39, 41 (Colo. Ct. App. 2004) (). The magistrate rested his determination that ### Response: holding that despite a lack of any formal notice tulsa requirement was satisfied by a showing that because the creditor was also the executor of the estate the creditor had actual notice of the pendency of the estate proceedings " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: we affirm the trial court’s decision, and we remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. 1 . The trial court noted that the detective asked Arroya whether or not she needed a kleenex, something to drink, and even whether she wanted an opportunity to smoke. Additionally, the court found, based its on review of the entire interrogation, that the detective had not used “unscrupulous techniques.” 2 . The law has developed differently in the area of a request for counsel. Building on a distinction first articulated in Miranda, 384 U.S. at 473-74, 86 S.Ct. 1602, the Supreme Court provides greater procedural safeguards for the right to counsel than for the right to remain silent. Compare Edwards v. Arizona, 451 U.S. 477, 484-85, 101 S.Ct. 1880, 68 L.Ed.2d 378 (1981) () with Mosley, 423 U.S. at 104 & n. 10, 96 S.Ct. ### Response: holding that once the right to counsel is invoked custodial interrogation must cease until the suspects attorney is present " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 'genuine' means that the evidence about the fact is such that a reasonable jury could resolve the point in favor of the nonmoving party [and] 'material' means that the fact is one that might affect the outcome of the suit under the governing law""). 13 .

Because three months passed between Boutwell’s jury service in December and the alleged failure to offer her an available position in March, the two events are not “proximate” and there is, therefore, no inference that the two events are connected. See Hatch, - So.3d at -, 2009 WL 1716967 at *5. Furthermore, although the evidence indicates that Kelly Services was aware of Boutwell’s service on a jury, this evidence alone is not sufficient to demonstrate that her service was the sole motivating factor in the decision to not offer one of the Yutaka positions to her.

See Thompson Med. Co., 753 F.2d at 216. Indeed, as noted above, in 1981, Anderson registered POW-R-CHEK as a mark, and four other companies are presently marketing products with a power verification feature called “power check.” The use of the identical term by several companies to describe diverse products with a power-verification feature supports the Court’s conclusion that the term PowerCheck is descriptive and thus not particularly distinctive.

As the Second Circuit has noted, “[t]he ### Response: holding that district courts finding of distinctiveness of mark 100 used in respect to facial moisturizer was undermined by the trial evidence that there were approximately 70 trademark registrations and pending applications for registration or renewal that incorporated the term 100 some of which were for cosmetic products " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that permits us to review the constitutionality of the provision in question. Accordingly, even though Ohms did not challenge the constitutionality of seetion 78-3-31 below, we nonetheless address this argument on appeal. Our analysis of the constitutionality of section 78-3-31 begins with the premise that “statutes stitutionality of a given statute is made, the said statute must be examined to determine if it is unconstitutional, either on its face or as applied. See, e.g., In re Criminal Investigation, 7th Dist. Court No. CS-1, 754 P.2d 633, 640 (Utah 1988); Wells v. Children’s Aid Soc’y of Utah, 681 P.2d 199, 204 (Utah 1984); Ellis v.

We believe that the issue before-this court is directly related to OSI’s reorganization.

Swaid’s conviction for ITSP was not substantially altered from the charged crime. Nor did the facts, as alleged in the indictment, materially vary from the evidence adduced at trial. The government evidence concerning “Mark Hansen,” another source of stolen merchandise, constituted nothing more than a single divergence and did not result in any material change in the complex of facts.

For example, Fox's brief opposing summary judgment in the district court stated that ""Plaintiff has never based his [42 U.S.C. § 1983] claim on the original, August 17, 1993, seizure of his license.” A 21, 1991 WL 268661, *3 (N.D.Ill.Dec.4, 1991) (rejecting such a Fourth Amendment claim), aff'd without reaching this issue, 980 F.2d 733, 1992 WL 348883 (7th Cir.1992) (unpublished order). In addition, the district court found that two unpublished opinions of this circuit suggest that claims similar to the one made by Fox here are cognizable under the Fourth Amendment. See Bush v.

Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182, 83 S.Ct. 227, 9 L.Ed.2d 222 (1962). We conclude that the district court gave Rogers sufficient prior opportunity to plead his best case and amend his complaint, and the district court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing Rogers’s case without permitting Rogers to file a third complaint.

In this case, Great Eastern’s right to refuse delivery of the cargo without presentation of the bills of lading is not contested. It is clear from the language of the LOI itself that its purpose was to induce Great Eastern into discharging the cargo without the presentation of the bills of lading. Binani’s “consideration” (Compl. Ex. 2 at 1) on the contract was a promise to pay indemnity; Great Eastern’s consideration was the prompt discharge of the cargo, a quintessentially maritime service, in forbearance of its right to demand the bills of lading on discharge, a quintessentially maritime right. Cf. Norfolk S. Ry., 543 U.S. at 27, 125 S.Ct. 385 ().

NCAIG raises a separate issue, barely addressed by Maxum, as to whether Max-um breached its duty to defend Mulberry in the underlying litigation.

However, we will have no duty to defend an “insured” against any “suit” seeking “damages” for a “wrongful act” to which this insurance does not apply. In NCAIG’s view, because the Maxum failed to show that Mulberry subjectively believed that the issuance of the fraudulent insurance would result in a claim, it also breached its duty to defend the litigation, and is therefore liable for the default judgment. See Gray v. Zurich Ins. Co., 65 Cal.2d 263, 279, 54 Cal.Rptr. 104, 419 P.2d 168 (1966) ().

Secondarily, a treaty may be self-executing upon ratification. See Foster v. Neilson, 27 U.S. (2 Pet.) 253, 314, 7 L.Ed. 415 (1829) (“Our Constitution declares a treaty to be the law of the land ... [it is regarded as] equivalent to an act of the legislature, whenever it operates of itself without the aid of any legislative provision.”). When this is the case, the treaty acts in the same manner as an Act of Congress. See, e.g., Medellin v. Dretke, 544 U.S. 660, 125 S.Ct. 2088, 2103, 161 L.Ed.2d 982 (2005) (O’Connor, J. dissenting) (noting that Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations was self-executing); Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft v.

Burnett also purchased a large quantity of drugs from Jer-abek that turned out to be of very low quality. Burnett severed his relationship with Jerabek after this. Rutland sold drugs and collected debts for Burnett. Although there was no evidence any of the coconspirators specifically stated they were targeting Jerabek to damage his business, Burnett did say while planning the robbery that he wanted what Jerabek owed him. The district court could have inferred from this evidence that one purpose of the robbery was to collect drug debts Jerabek owed Burnett. Rutland’s sole response to this evidence is to argue the robbery was not a reasonably foreseeable consequence of the drug conspiracy. See Bourjaily v. United States, 483 U.S. 171, 188, 107 S.Ct. 2775, 97 L.Ed.2d 144 (1987) ().

App. 3d 759, 763-65, 371 N.E.2d 1155, 1157 (sewer rate classifications). We conclude that the trial court did not apply an incorrect standard in reviewing Chicago’s ordinance in the first instance. Because it is plaintiffs’ “heavy burden” to overcome the presumptive validity of the ordinance, it follows that they must also demonstrate that the rates charged them are discriminatory, unreasonable, or arbitrary, by a clear and affirmative showing. If it were Chicago’s burden to prove the reasonableness of its rates in the first instance, the presumptive validity of the ordinance would be nullified. Nevertheless, Chicago did produce affirmative evidence of the reasonableness of its rates. Cf. Bobrowicz v. City of Chicago (1988), 168 Ill. App. 3d 227, 522 N.E.2d 663 (), appeal denied (1988), 122 Ill. 2d 570, 530 ### Response: holding that chicagos 50 surcharge on water sales to nonresident consumers violated its common law duty not to charge unreasonable or discriminatory rates to those customers to whom the city had undertaken to provide water " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: for a full evidentiary hearing in which extensive findings of fact would be made. Moreover, the court’s judgment on whether the reinitiation procedures in question are contumacious turns on legal analysis not on disputed issues of material facts. This conclusion is based on two realities. First, the facts that underlie the specific practice alleged to be contumacious are not controverted. The plaintiffs agree with the defendant that the union’s policy of charging fees and back dues for reinitiation is race neutral on its face. (Pl.’s Motion at 2). The absence of a dispute over the nature of the policy makes a full evidentiary hearing in which the court would conduct extensive findings of fact unnecessary. See Sassower v. Sheriff of Westchester Cnty., 824 F.2d 184, 190 (2d Cir.1987) (); Agur v.

Davis, 203 F.3d 627, 636 (9th Cir.2000). The pertinent part of § 2255 reads: “A 1-year period of limitation shall apply to a motion under this section. The limitation period shall run from the latest of(l) the date on which the judgment of conviction becomes final.” Id. The phrase “becomes final” is capable of at least two meanings. In this case, the district court interpreted “final” to mean the date the court of appeals affirms the judgment of conviction. Both parties contend on appeal, however, that a judgment is final only when the time for seeking certio-rari review has expired. This date is 90 days after entry of the court of appeals’ judgment. See Sup.Ct. R. 13. Our sister circuit courts have split over this issue. Compare Gendron v. United States, 154 F.3d 672 (7th Cir.1998) () with Kapral v.

Unless an extension is granted, a defendant must serve his answer within thirty days “after the service of the complaint upon him.” Rule 12(a), SCRCP.

All of these implications go to Cody’s personal, rather than professional, traits. The alleged misconduct did not even occur while Cody was on the job, as it did in Sangston; Harris accused Cody of retaliating against the station not while he was an employee, but after (and apparently because of) his termination. This situation is not like the Illinois cases that have found defamation per se when a plaintiffs work or conduct while carrying out his employment-duties has been impugned. In some cases, personal integrity is so intertwined with job skills, that an attack upon it could constitute defamation per se. Kumaran v. Brotman, 247 Ill.App.3d 216, 186 Ill.Dec. 952, 617 N.E.2d 191, 199 (1993) ().

We find that the district court’s determination that Kipta intended to defraud First Chicago out of the entire $171,355.46 was not clearly erroneous. The fraudulent letter that Kipta used to back her deposits stated that she had -reserves of $800,000.00, an amount more than sufficient to cover the deposits into the First Chicago account. There was nothing to limit the amount of funds available for withdrawal, and the corresponding potential for loss by First Chicago, to less than the total amount deposited into the account.

Thus, his analysis went far beyond that of a layman.

The district court therefore did not err, let alone manifestly err, by admitting Woolley’s expert testimony. B. Dr. Fagelson As to Dr. Fagelson, Fuller cites Christophersen v.

In Fabrica la Estrella S.A. de C.V. v.

The acts complained of in this case which relate to the diet issue occurred between July 18, 1992 and February 24, 1994. Case law prior to July 18, 1992 reveals that courts had found that inmates have a right, in general, to sufficient food to sustain them in satisfactory health consistent with their religious beliefs. See, e.g., Hunafa v. Murphy, 907 F.2d 46 (7th Cir.1990) (reversing summary judgment for defendants where Muslim in disciplinary segregation denied non-pork diet); Kahane v. Carlson, 527 F.2d 492 (2d Cir.1975) ().

Additionally, recognizing that juvenile adjudications are “quasi-criminal in nature” necessarily demonstrates that juvenile adjudications are, in fact, not criminal. Indeed, Black’s Law Dictionary defines the term “quasi” as: “Seemingly but not actually; in some sense or degree; resembling; nearly.” Black’s Law Dictionary 1363 (9th ed.2Q09) (emphasis added). Thus, although it. is correct to characterize juvenile-delinquency proceedings as “quasi-criminal in nature,”- such a characterization does not mandate a finding that a juvenile adjudication is the functional equivalent of a criminal conviction. See also Jennings v. State, 384 So.2d 104, 105 (Ala.1980) ().

Workman, 320 F.3d at 264. The rationale for lessening the requirement of heightened foreseeability in cases involving a special relationship between the parties is that “the ability of one of the parties to provide for his own protection has been limited in some way by his submission to the control of the other,” and, therefore, “a duty should be imposed upon the one possessing control (and thus the power to act) to take reasonable precautions to protect the other one from assaults by third parties which, at least l conduct of servant); id. § 318 (); id. § 319 (recognizing duty of those in ### Response: recognizing duty of possessor of land or chattels to control conduct of licensee " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the purposes of section 607A.6 were accomplished despite the fact the judge delegated to the court attendant the judge’s statutory responsibility to excuse potential jurors.

C. The Public Vessels Act, Suits in Admiralty Act, and Federal Tort Claims Act Each of these three Acts provides an explicit waiver of sovereign immunity. The PVA waives sovereign immunity for suits for “damages caused by a public vessel of the United States.” 46 U.S.C. § 31102(a)(1). But the PVA contains a reciprocity requirement: A national of a foreign country may sue under the PVA only if the government of that foreign country would permit a United States national to bring the same suit in its courts. Id. § 31111. The SAA waives sovereign immunity, subject to some exceptions, in admiralty cases when a civil action could otherwise be brought if the United States were not a party.

Reed did not file his motion within one year after the 1992 order was entered, and accordingly, the motion was untimely. Moreover, Reed presented no new facts, arguments, or evidence to explain why he was unable to directly appeal the 1992 order or to justify the 13-year delay between the 1992 order and the 2005 Rule 60(b) motion. On this record, the district court did not abuse its discretion by denying the motion. AFFIRMED. 1 . Given our resolution of the Rule 60(b) issue, we discern no abuse of the district court’s discretion in its denial of Reed's Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(e) motion to alter or amend the order denying his Rule 60(b) motion. Cf. Mays v. U.S. Postal Serv., 122 F.3d 43, 46 (11th Cir. 1997) (). 2 .

Central Wharf, 57 S.W. at 983. We believe this principle applies equally to Article 3, sec. 56. See JC-0101. Our conclusion that this constitutional provision does not limit the legislature’s inherent power to repeal laws is further supported by decisions from other states construing similar constitutional provisions.

Even assuming that the IJ’s adverse credibility finding, to the extent that it was affirmed by the BIA, was marred by serious error and that the IJ abused her discretion by denying Huang a continuance, remand would be futile because Huang has not submitted any evidence from which a reasonable fact finder could conclude that she suffered past persecution, had a well-founded fear of future persecution, or has demonstrated that it is more likely than not that her life or freedom would be threatened if she were returned to China. See Xiao Ji Chen v. United States Dep’t of Justice, 434 F.3d 144, 161-62 (2d Cir.2006) (); Ramsameachire v.

This statement of the Court of Criminal Appeals is only accurate in the post-waiver context. 11 . The court went on to state that ""[a]ssum-ing arguendo that [Tidwell]'s request in the case sub judice was equivocal, the interrogation following the equivocal request should have been strictly limited to a clarification of whether the defendant was in fact invoking his right to have counsel present during interrogation.” Id. at 387. This was the standard for all custodial interrogations in Tennessee prior to Davis and Saylor. It remains the standard for interactions between police and the accused prior to waiver of the Miranda rights. 12 . See, e.g., Lord v. Duckworth, 29 F.3d 1216, 1220-21 (7th Cir. 1994) (); Braboy v.

Buyers typically exercise little care in selecting inexpensive items and making impulse purchases. Id. Conversely, expensive items are typically chosen more carefully. Id. “The relevant inquiry focuses on the consumer’s degree of care exercised at the time of purchase.” Id. The court envisions that a rational trier of fact might weigh this factor in favor of finding that consumers are likely to exercise a high degree of care under all of the circumstances here. See, e.g., Nike, Inc. v. Just Did It Enters., 6 F.3d 1225, 1230-31 (7th Cir.1993) (trademark infringement case involving apparel in which the court rejected the argument that the degree of care depends solely upon price); Jordache Enters., 828 F.2d at 1487 ().'

Gillock advises that Florida law is relevant to the inquiry. But since the privilege asserted is a federal one which should be uniform in all of the states, Florida law cannot be dispositive of the issue. 3 .

R. at 215. Thus, the agency did not utilize a flawed willful-blindness standard. Finally, we turn to this court’s jurisdiction over Mr. Ruiz’s second and third CAT arguments. We conclude that those arguments are not reviewable as they attempt to raise issues of fact. Specifically, to determine the likelihood of governmental acquiescence to torture (Mr. Ruiz’s second argument), and whether the evidence as a whole shows Mr. Ruiz’s eligibility for CAT relief (his third argument), we would have to weigh the evidence in this case. The criminal-alien bar prevents that. See Siwe v.

Here, Myers was validly served, and to the extent valid service on Myers confers personal jurisdiction, Fisher is inapposite. More importantly, the issue of whether there is an invalid retroactive application of personal jurisdiction may involve other issues; for example, whether valid service by publication confers personal jurisdiction on the district court in the way that personal service might confer personal jurisdiction such that there is no retroactivity issue but instead, only a waiver issue.

The Legal Standard Under Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, 509 U.S. 579, 113 S.Ct. 2786, 125 L.Ed.2d 469 (1993), the Court must ensure that expert testimony “is not only relevant, but reliable.” See also Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael, 526 U.S. 137, 147, 119 S.Ct. 1167, 143 L.Ed.2d 238 (1999). Daubert and Kumho are codified in Federal Rule of Evidence 702. The Daubert standard applies to survey evidence.

In these circumstances, and particularly where the party seeking to avoid claim preclusion was the plaintiff in the prior action and the sole source of the error in naming the incorrect party, res judicata should bar the plaintiff from gaining a second opportunity to litigate the very same claims, even where complete identity between the parties is lacking. See Cahill, 659 F.Supp. at 1123. To find otherwise would be to elevate form over substance in a manner inconsistent with the underlying goals of res judicata. See Amalgamated Sugar Co., 825 F.2d at 640 (“The doctrine of privity [in the res judicata context] ... is to be applied with flexibility.”); Expert Electric, Inc. v. Levine, 554 F.2d 1227, 1233 (2d Cir.1977) ().

Garces, of course, is not controlling precedent in this circuit. In any event, Garces itself recognizes no categorical prohibition on the consideration of a vacated Alford plea. See 611 F.3d at 1347 (observing that neither case law nor Fed. R.Evid. 410 “categorically bars the BIA from considering [defendant’s] withdrawn plea for any purpose”). Indeed, our court has summarily observed that § 1182(a)(2)(C) “places no qualification upon the basis of knowledge or belief that an alien has engaged in drug trafficking.” Neptune v. Holder, 346 Fed.Appx. 671, 673 (2d Cir.2009) (emphasis in original). The focus of concern in Garces was how much evidentiary weight the guilty plea could bear under the circumstances.

Davis, 448 F.2d 560, 564-65 (5th Cir. 1971). Second, she contends that the district court plainly erred by instructing the jury that nominal damages are awarded in an amount that “you ... decide [is appropriate] under all of the facts and circumstances of the case.” (Dkt. 96 at 312.) Smith contends that Georgia law requires a jury to award, at a minimum, nominal damages for an intentional tort. See, e.g., Norton v.

We hold that victim impact evidence, brief and narrowly presented, is admissible during the penalty phase of death penalty cases. {38} Further, we hold that victim impact testimony is consistent with the Capital Felony Sentencing Act following Payne because it constitutes additional evidence as to the circumstances of the crime under Section 31-20A-1(C) and NMSA 1978, § 31-20A-2(B) (1979). Through Section 31-2CA-1(C), the Legislature requires the jury to consider evidence of the circumstance of the crime, and many other courts have also held that victim impact testimony is relevant for this purpose.

As we understand plaintiff’s contention, it is that, because attorney fees were available and awarded in the underlying wage claim, under ORCP 68 A(l) fees are also available in the UFTA action, as an action to enforce the judgment on the wage claim and, therefore, as “services related to the prosecution or defense of’ the underlying wage claim. Plaintiff is correct that we have previously said that fees incurred in the collection of a judgment on a claim for which attorney fees are available are encompassed within “attorney fees,” as defined in ORCP 68 A(l) as fees “related to the prosecution or defense of an action.” See Holder v.

City of Norfolk Police Department, 45 F.3d 80 (4th Cir.1995) (cited ante, at 529-30), establishes that refusal of reinstatement through informal means can be actionable.

Id. at 105. The crux of the court’s holding was that the defendant was entitled to rely on its affidavits as raising a fact issue to defeat the summary-judgment motion. Id.

On its face, the plain language of 16(b) encompasses Tex. Penal Code § 30.04, which proscribes breaking into, or entering, a vehicle with the intent to commit a theft or felony. Breaking into a vehicle, by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force may be used against the property of another. See 18 U.S.C. § 16(b). Alfaro-Gramajo’s argument that the Texas courts have construed the statute too broadly for it to be considered a crime of violence is unpersuasive. The cases cited by Alfaro-Gramajo show that Texas courts have interpreted the statute within the plain meaning of its terms. See, e.g., Thomas v. State, 919 S.W.2d 810, 814 (Tex.Ct. App.1996) ().

As was the case with the evidence about the four-wheeler and the tractor, this evidence was not admissible, and it did not come within any exception to the exclusionary rule. The trial court erred when it allowed evidence of the collateral acts. Even if we had determined that evidence about the four-wheeler, the tractor, and the conversations recorded at Reeves’ residence fit within an exception to the exclusionary rule, we would nonetheless hold that the collateral-act evidence was inadmissible because it was not reasonably necessary to the State’s case and because its probative value was far outweighed by its prejudicial value.

The Commonwealth made this argument in the trial court and on brief on appeal. The fact that the trial court concluded appellant consented to the search and, thus, did not reach the probable cause issue does not prevent us from considering that issue on appeal where no further factual findings are necessary. See Driscoll v. Commonwealth, 14 Va.App. 449, 451-52, 417 S.E.2d 312, 313 (1992) (); see also Hancock v.

Thus, we need to determine whether this final judgment on venue in the Windsor suit irrevocably fixes venue in Tarrant County for Miller II. A final judgment on venue is conclusive on the parties as to the issue of venue and irrevocably fixes venue of any suit involving the same subject matter and parties. See Texas Employers’ Ins.

See Rodgers, 466 U.S. at 480, 104 S.Ct. 1942. In addition, the Court also notes as persuasive the Government’s argument that this somewhat broader interpretation of § 1001’s jurisdictional scope is consistent with that taken by the Fourth Circuit in its interpretation of the jurisdictional scope of 18 U.S.C. § 111, which imposes criminal liability on, inter alia, persons who assault federal marshals or “person[s] employed to assist” federal marshals. 18 U.S.C. §§ 111, 1114; see United States v.

Leach, 583 F.2d 367, 370 (7th Cir.1978). Neither the district court nor the Kramer states that Plaintiff-Appellant intentionally relinquished her Fourth Amendment claim, nor are we dealing with a hard, judicially recognized bright line for waiver, like the principle that a party waives on appeal any argument that it does not present to the district court. This bright-line principle backs the numerous waiver cases cited by Defendant-Appellee Kramer in her brief. See, e.g., Teumer v. Gen. Motors Corp., 34 F.3d 542, 546 (7th Cir.1994) (); Colburn v. Trs. of Ind.

The trial court rejected the defendant’s argument and pointed out that there was “no evidence” that the items taken from the defendant’s home were “somehow commingled” with the nylon mask. We agree with the defendant that if the DNA results presented to the jury were based on the analysis of a known mixed sample, the State would be required to explain how the presence of DNA from another individual would affect the statistical analysis. See, e.g., State v. Garcia, 3 P.3d 999, 1003-04 (Ariz. Ct. App. 1999) (); State v.

We have stated that “[i]n determining the intent with which a defendant acted, a district court is entitled to rely on ... all reasonable inferences that may be drawn from all of the evidence,” Khedr, 343 F.3d at 102, and that “[w]e generally defer to a sentencing court’s findings as to what a speaker meant by his words, and how a listener would reasonably interpret those words.” United States v. Gaskin, 364 F.3d 438, 466 (2d Cir.2004) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). These considerations fully support the district court’s conclusion that the totality of the timing and circumstances of Yarbrough’s phone call to the witness demonstrated a clear intent to threaten the witness. Cf United States v. Shoulberg, 895 F.2d 882, 884-86 (2d Cir.1990) ().

Standard of Review As the majority notes, the parties on appeal disagree as to which standard of review is applicable to the trial court’s sentencing. There is inconsistency amongst jurisdictions concerning which standard of review applies to those alleged sentencing errors not preserved at trial. There are at least three categories in which standards of review are applied to sentencing. Some jurisdictions apply the abuse of discretion standard when addressing the substantive reasonableness of a sentence, whereas procedural errors not raised at trial are reviewed for plain error. See United States. v. Judge, 649 F.3d 453, 457 (6th Cir. 2011) (“[sentences are generally reviewed for an abuse of discretion, but wher 160 (Neb. 2011) (); State v. Georgius, 225 W.

Defendants .also argue that Dr. Coulibaly cannot rely on the Federal Tort Claims Act (""FTCA”) for any waiver of sovereign immunity. See Mem. Supp. Defs.’ Mot. Dismiss 6-7. But the Court does not discern an FTCA claim from the complaint, and because Dr. Coulibaly disclaims any reliance on the. FTC A in his filings, the Court will not consider this issue, See Mem. Supp. PL’s Mot. Summ. J, 19 (""FTCA‘and FMLA are two different cases and there is no issue of sovereign immunity for FMLA lawsuit.""). 10 . The question of whether the FMLA permits actions against individuals as1 opposed to only employer^ is the subject of a circuit split. Compare Mitchell v.

See Lowth v. Town of Cheektowaga, 82 F.3d 563, 570 (2d Cir.1996), It is, therefore, axiomatic that subsequently discovered evidence cannot be used to cure an arrest that was made without probable cause. Cf.

Here, the Commission reserved both the issue of the extent of Mr. Thomas’s temporary disability, if any, after 13 November 2008 and the issue of his permanent partial disability for future resolution. Its Opinion and Award with respect to causation and temporary total disability compensation from October 2007 until November 2008 was clearly interlocutory. See Watts v. Hemlock Homes of Highlands, Inc., 160 N.C. App. 81, 84, 584 S.E.2d 97, 99 (2003) (). While we certainly agree with the parties’ ### Response: holding that where the commissions opinion and award had yet to determine the total amount of compensation and there was nothing in the record to indicate that the parties had resolved this issue independently since the commission entered its opinion and award that the appeal was clearly interlocutory " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a criminal defendant had obtained independent DNA testing of physical evidence, but decided not to present the evidently unfavorable results at trial. When the prosecution subpoenaed the person who had conducted the tests to testify, the defendant moved to quash the subpoena, but the trial court denied the motion. On appeal to this Court, we determined that the work-product privilege barred the prosecution from presenting the testimony. We refused to allow the prosecution to present the expert’s testimony because the defense had reasonably expected discussions with, and investigations by, the expert to remain confidential, and the public interest behind the privilege would be undermined by overriding the privilege. See also Commonwealth v. Noll, 443 Pa.Super. 602, 662 A.2d 1123 (1995) ().

Thus, “§ 522(f) entitles [the debtor] to avoid [the judgment] lien only to the extent of the ... homestead exemption” irrespective of the debtor’s equity interest in the property. Wrenn, 40 F.3d at 1166-67. Applying Wrenn to the ease before us, the Holloways can avoid John Hancock’s lien on their residence only to the extent of their homestead exemption. Because the Holloways’ claimed exemption was worth $0.00, they are not entitled to any lien avoidance. The Holloways contend that the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994 effectively overrules Wrenn, and that a judgment lien can be avoided to the extent that it impairs an exemption or exceeds the amount of equity in the property. See Thomsen, 181 B.R. at 1016-1017 ().

We discern no plain error. Viewed in context of the entire trial, see United States v. Christians, 200 F.3d 1124, 1128 (8th Cir.1999), it is not clear or obvious that the prosecutor was commenting indi rectly on Kieffer’s failure to testify. Kieffer was attempting to convince the jury that the Ninth Circuit’s decision to admit Kieffer to practice somehow relieved Kieffer of responsibility for his own deceitful conduct. In stating Kieffer was “not accepting ... responsibility,” the prosecutor apparently was rebutting Kieffer’s defense. The prosecutor probably was deflecting Kieffer’s attempt to shift blame, emphasizing the District of North Dakota’s attorney admission system was based on trust and the jury should not “lose sight of who is on trial.” Cf. id. (). 3.

Fazli, 650 N.E.2d 1126, 1129 (Ind.1995)). Burkhart freely entered into this lease with Providence's predecessor. In fact, the lease is clearly Burkhart's own form lease. We conclude that the termination of a lease according to the parties' own provisions is not a taking of property. Given the termination of the lease pursuant to Provi-denece's proposed development of the property and our supreme court's opinion in Heslar, we conclude that Burkhart had no interest in the property compensable by the City.

Mr. Rios also argues that prison officials violated his due process rights by reviewing his placement in maximum custody only once a year. Finally, Mr. Rios asserts that “administrative sentence credit” constitutes an appropriate request for relief in this § 2241 proceeding because he is barred from seeking monetary relief under the Feres doctrine.

Based on our precedent, we conclude that the exercise of this power is permitted by Rule 60(b)(5) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 60(b)(5) states the following: “On motion and upon such terms as are just, the court may relieve a party ... from a final judgment [or] order [when] ... it is no longer equitable that the judgment should have prospective application.” See Agostini v.

Finally, the State’s case against Pfau did not hinge upon the Cyco evidence. As found by the trial court, Pfau’s appellate counsel, the PCR court, and the district court below, the State presented overwhelming evidence that Pfau planned and participated in the robbery. Although we conclude the Iowa Supreme Court decided the trial court did not erroneously admit the Cyco evidence, we also conclude, even if the trial court did erroneously admit this evidence, it constituted harmless error beyond a reasonable doubt, which means Pfau suffered no prejudice from his appellate counsel’s failure to cite Nance.

Matters considered by the legislature in determining the authorized range of sentences which are inherent in the offense are not proper aggravating factors to be considered in a sentencing hearing. (People v. Conover (1981), 84 Ill. 2d 400, 419 N.E.2d 906.) In Conover, the Illinois Supreme Court held that it was improper for a trial court to consider receipt of proceeds from a burglary or theft as an aggravating factor in determining the length of a sentence. Proceeds were an inherent part of the crime of burglary or theft and had already been considered by the legislature when it determined the range of penalties. (See also People v.

Against this need, Ryan claims an “executive communications privilege.” The court finds no federal authority for extending to a state governor the presidential communications privilege. Furthermore, Ryan has disclaimed reliance on the deliberative process privilege and has not followed the established procedures for asserting that privilege. Additionally, if there is some privilege Ryan might have asserted to maintain the confidentiality of his deliberations in exercising his state constitutional authority to issue pardons, he has waived that privilege. Privileges relating to governmental decisionmaking may be waived. See, e.g., Shell Oil Co. v. IRS, 772 F.Supp. 202, 209 (D.Del.1991) ().

The government’s forfeiture forced a breach of that promise that may result in a potentially unjust enrichment of the government (and commensurate unjust impoverishment of Clara) if Clara is denied standing to contest the forfeiture.

Disregarding those arguments the State fails to appropriately supp d in concluding that the agreement between the grandmother and the grandson regarding payment for the truck satisfied § 8-9-2, Ala.Code 1975, the Statute of Frauds.

In its conversion cause of action, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant’s “intentional unauthorized use of coins ... resulted in loss and damage to the City of Syracuse[.]” See Dkt. No. 22 at ¶ 182. Plaintiff does not specifically allege how much money was allegedly converted by Defendant and, in its prayer for relief, simply requests a “[j]udgment against defendant!] for compensatory [damages], in an amount to be determined at trial.” This conclusory allegation is insufficient to support a claim for conversion.

In the final analysis, despite the government’s attempts to paint them as innocuous, the district court’s comments are pointed and reflect a belief that the court lacked discretion to depart downward. This, however, is error. In effect, the district court inverted the rule. The district court appeared to assume that, absent the Guidelines’ express reference to a particular factor, the court lacked authority to depart downward on that basis; the rule, however, is the opposite — unless the Guidelines specifically proscribe consideration of the factor, then the factor is to be considered.

Under the circumstances, we do not view the agents’ interviewing of employees who had been detained during the execution of a search warrant as acts taken in “flagrant disregard” of the terms of the search warrant. Therefore, the extreme remedy of blanket suppression of the documentary evidence covered by the terms of the warrant was not required and the distinct court properly denied Appellants’ motion to suppress on this basis. 3. For similar reasons, we reject Appellants’ alternative contention that the district court should have held an evidentiary hearing on the motion to suppress because there was a factual dispute as to whether the employees were forcibly detained and coercively questioned.

Cutler’s complaint, on the other hand, alleges that the tumor/lesion culminated in a legal injury on February 11, 2015, despite “an adverse beginning of the growth process within the four years following June 28, 2005.” (Emphasis added.) Based on this averment, the trial court concluded that, regardless of the date of the discovery of any injury, the statute of repose would have begun to run at the latest by June 28, 2009, and would have expired at the latest by June 28,2013. We agree. It is well settled that in medical-malpractice actions the legal injury occurs at the time of the negligent act or omission, regardless of whether the injury is or could be discovered within the statutory period.

By its terms, section XVI prohibits an award of “attorney fees” or “costs and disbursements” to either party in an action for dissolution of their marriage. Husband does not contend that the expert witness fee was an “attorney fee.” Rather, husband argues that the fee was a “cost.” We turn to the meaning of that word as the parties used it in the broader term “costs and disbursements.” The parties do not suggest that the term “costs and disbursements” is ambiguous, nor did they adduce any evidence at trial regarding its intended meaning. However, the term has a well-established legal meaning in the context of the subject matter of section XVI, that is, dissolution actions.

Simply stated, Hussein Addine Selmen is a federal prisoner regardless of whether he is detained directly by the Marshals Service or by a local official to whom the Marshals Service has properly delegated this responsibility. Access to him is therefore a federal issue within the jurisdiction of the Marshals Service. Accordingly, any false statement made in order to gain access to him falls within the scope of § 1001, which, as the Government correctly notes, hinges not on the person to whom the statement is made, but rather on whether the statement falls within the jurisdiction of a branch of the federal government.

As the interests of the revolving investors and other issues remain to be decided, we must determine whether the decision of the lower court is final within the meaning of § 158(d).

It states in part, “[w]hen property is damaged, the loss is the cost of repairs, not to exceed the loss had the property been destroyed.” The district court calculated the cost of repairs based upon the bank’s standard hourly rate for its employees’ time, computer time, and administrative overhead-the same rate that the bank uses in charging paying customers. Sabían complains that this was improper because of the profit margin and administrative overhead that is built into these charges. However, had the bank hired an outside contractor to make the repairs these factors would have been built into the charges. Similarly, had it not been necessary for the bank to devote its employees’ time and computer time to making these repairs, the administrative overhead (11th Cir.1993) ().

Although Henderson purported to rely on factual differences between Rice and this case, he did not explain how those differences would justify a different result.

The relevant facts follow. In preparation for a deposition, defendant’s counsel reviewed with the client “an unknown quantity of the numerous documents produced by defendants in response to plaintiffs discovery requests.” Id.

Further, the court observed, prior reported cases involving survival actions appeared to recognize, without expressly so holding, that punitive damages were in fact a permissible form of recovery under the Survivor’s Act.

We will assume that the procedure of attesting the signature out of the presence of the witness violates state law. It does not matter. In a suit under § 1983 the plaintiff must show a violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States, not just a violation of state law. The two are not the same. E.g., Carson v.

App. 330, 330-31 (682 SE2d 671) (2009); 98) (2009). 20 261 Ga. 640 (409 SE2d 649) (1991). 21 Payne, 285 Ga. at 138; see Williams, 261 Ga. at 642 (2) (b). 22 Id. 23 See Davis v. State, 279 Ga. 786, 787-88 (3) (621 SE2d 446) (2005) (finding that evidence of defendant’s murder of witnesses to the murder for which he was being tried was admissible to show defendant’s course of conduct and bent of mind); Rainey v. State, 179 Ga. App. 584, 586 (4) (347 SE2d 341) (1986) (); see also McCoy v. State, 273 Ga. 568, 571 (5) ### Response: holding that evidence of assault on victim that was subsequent to the arson for which defendant was tried was admissible to show defendants bent of mind toward violence directed at the victim " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: distribution. See id. at 997 (“[T]he more similar the prior act is (in terms of physical similarity or mental state) to the act being proved, the more relevant it becomes.”). Thus, the evidence was relevant to Day’s intent and the absence of a mistake. In addition, the evidence was necessary to corroborate other testimony that had been challenged on credibility grounds, and to provide additional objective evidence that Day intended to join the charged conspiracy with the intent to distribute cocaine. Moreover, the admission of the conviction was not excessively prejudicial because the conviction involved the same type of drug and the conduct occurred in relatively the same time period as the offenses charged in the indictment. See United States v. Boyd, 53 F.3d 631, 637 (4th Cir.1995) (). Further, the Government gave advance notice ### Response: holding there is no unfair prejudice when the prior act is no more sensational or disturbing than the evidence admitted directly supporting the crimes with which the defendant was charged " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: doctrine of ejectment, entry is not a prerequisite to the action, and if the lessee has such interest in the property as gives a present right of possession, it is immaterial whether he has entered into possession before bringing the action. The right of entry, not the entry itself — the right of possession, not actual possession — are the essentials of an action in ejectment.” Ewert v. Robinson, 289 F. 740, 750-51 (8th Cir. 1923). The notion that prior possession by a lessee is necessary to trigger the right of possession is a legal fiction unrelated to our more modern view of a lessee’s contractual rights. See Pugh v. Holmes, 486 Pa. 272, 405 A.2d 897 (1979) (opinion by Larsen, J.); id., 486 Pa. at 298-299, 405 A.2d at 910 (Roberts, J., joined by Nix and Manderino, JJ., concurring) (); see also Albert M.

Charge Sheet. The Article 92 offense alleged that the appellant: having knowledge of a lawful order issued by CDR Steven L. Syzska, to report to the Correctional Custody Unit, an order which it was his duty to obey, did, at Naval Submarine Base Bangor, Silverdale, Washington, on or about 28 May 1999, fail to obey the same by wrongfully failing to report to the Correctional Custody Unit. Charge Sheet. Since the appellant entered unconditional guilty pleas to these two offenses at trial the issue of multiplicity is waived unless we find that the charges are facially duplicative. Lloyd, 46 M.J. at 23. When considering whether charges are facially duplicative—“that is, factually the same, 552 (N.M.Ct.Crim.App.1997)(). But see, United States v.

Rather, both courts held that payment was due immediately. Thus, there was no improper delegation by the courts of their exclusive authority to determine a payment schedule. The Bureau of Prisons was merely using the IFRP to collect Bramson’s court-ordered payments. See, e.g., Matheny v. Morrison, 307 F.3d 709, 712 (8th Cir.2002) (); McGhee v. Clark, 166 F.3d 884, 886 (7th ### Response: holding that bureau of prisons may administer collection of payments through ifrp where sentencing court orders immediate payment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the responsibility to ‘take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.’ ” (quoting U.S. Const, art. II, § 3)). The Executive has a unique need to access the federal courts in order to fulfill this constitutional responsibility for ensuring that public rights are enforced, and such an executive enforcement action is a “Case” or “Controversy” that satisfies Article III. See Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Env’t, 523 U.S. 83, 102 n. 4, 118 S.Ct. 1003, 140 L.Ed.2d 210 (1998) (confirming that the Court’s standing jurisprudence “derives from Article III and not Article II,” even when it has “an impact on Presidential powers”). Therefore, federal courts have jurisdiction over such executive actions under Article III. See In re Debs, 158 U.S. 564, 586, 15 S.Ct. 900, 39 L.Ed. 1092 (1895) (). There is only one way for a plaintiff to ### Response: holding that when the government acts to enforce public rights the mere fact that the government has no pecuniary interest in the controversy is not sufficient to exclude it from the courts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: continued the May 9, 2005, trial setting. The statute of limitations has expired. Estrada does not object to allowing Martinez to amend her pleading to substitute the appropriate party. Cornell and Estrada have indicated that they intend to assert the statute of limitation defense should Martinez seek to add the proper party in Estrada’s stead. LAW REGARDING ADMISSIONS AND MOTIONS TO AMEND Rule 8(d)’s purpose is to “apprise the plaintiff of the allegations in the complaint that stand admitted and will not be in issue at trial and those that are contested and will require proof to be established to enable plaintiff to prevail.” Yamell v. Roberts, 66 F.R.D. 417, 423 (E.D.Pa.1975)(citing 5 Charles A. Wright & Arthur R. Miller, Fe citing Meschino v. N. Am. Drager, Inc., 841 F.2d at 435-36)(). Federal pleading is not a game of skill and ### Response: holding that parties are bound by admissions in pleadings " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: duress, is voidable, not void, and the person claiming duress must act promptly to repudiate the contract or release or he will be deemed to have waived his right to do so.”), cert. denied, 461 U.S. 915, 103 S.Ct. 1896, 77 L.Ed.2d 285 (1983). The burden of proving ratification of an invalid release rests upon Leslie Fay. Leslie Fay also argues that Kishbaugh must be deemed to have ratified the release because he did not tender back the $10,200 he received as a result of signing it. Whether the OWBPA was intended to supplant the common law doctrine of ratification is the subject of intense debate. See Reid v. IBM Corp., No. 95 Civ. 1755, 1997 WL 357969, *14 (S.D.N.Y.

These officials did not need ‘to have particularized suspicions about any person or place before searching, nor were they required to justify their actions to any authority after the search.’ The Framers found these unchecked governmental actions by the British unacceptable. To ensure that their new government would not have this type of arbitrary power, and to protect against the recurrence of these unchecked governmental actions, the Framers included the Fourth Amendment in the Bill of Rights, granting the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.” See Denise Robinson, Kaupp v. Texas: Breathing Life into the Fourth Amendment, 94 J. Crim. L. & Criminology 761 (Spring 2004). This protection was, 2 S.Ct. 587, 592, 151 L.Ed.2d 497, 506-507 (2001) (). In still others, the Court has dispensed with ### Response: holding that when an officer has reasonable suspicion that a probationer who is already subject to a search condition pursuant to his probation agreement is engaged in criminal activity then there is enough likelihood that criminal conduct is occurring that an intrusion on the probationers privacy interests is reasonable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: can shift the entire loss to a particular insurer notwithstanding the existence of other insurance clauses. See St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co. v. American International Specialty Lines Ins. Co., 365 F.3d 263 (4th Cir. 2004) (interpreting Virginia law and holding that the general rule is that an indemnity agreement between the insureds shifts the entire loss to a particular insurer notwithstanding the existence of other insurance clauses). Indeed, a majority of jurisdictions to have addressed priority of insurance coverage disputes involving additional insureds have held that the downstream/subcontractor’s insurance, including its excess insurance, should pay first and before the contractor’s own primary insurance. See Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. RLI Ins. Co., 292 F.3d 583 (8th Cir. 2002) (); Am. Indem. Lloyds v. Travelers Prop. & Cas. ### Response: holding that excess policy issued to downstream contractor and covering upstream contractor as additional insured was liable before upstream contractors own insurance " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: an employer’s agent and thus a statutory “employer” for purposes of liability, are not personally liable under Title VII and similar state laws. Wathen, 115 F.3d at 405-06. Principal Rybak and Superintendent Schlachter admittedly were Pittman’s “superiors,” but they do not qualify as statutory “employers” for purposes of federal civil rights laws. There is also a limitation on what federal civil rights claims Pittman can bring against CVCC. As an arm of the State, CVCC is immune from claims brought by Pittman pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1981 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983. CVCC’s immunity stems from the State’s Eleventh Amendment immunity. A plaintiff is precluded from directly suing a State in federal court on these claims. See Quern v. Jordan, 440 U.S. 332, 350, 99 S.Ct. 1139, 59 L.Ed.2d 358 (1979)(); see also Hafford v.

The boat owners argue that it is not enough that the clause released the marina from all liability, it must do more by specifically referring to liability caused by the marina’s own fault. The boat owners made clear during oral argument that they do not suggest that the clause is deficient for not using the magic term “negligence,” but argue that it must refer to liability arising from the marina’s fault in some manner. We recognize that the Supreme Court of Missouri requires something more, see Alack v. Vic Tanny Int’l of Mo., Inc., 923 S.W.2d 330, 337 (Mo.1996) (en banc) (), but we are applying federal maritime law, ### Response: holding that exculpatory clause in health club membership did not exculpate the facility from liability for a personal injury stemming from the facilitys negligence because the clause did not use the term negligence fault or equivalents " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: facility in accordance with subsection (c) of this section. 42 U.S.C. § 1395dd(b)(l).

Washington Healthcare Corp., 933 F.2d 1037, 1040 (D.C.Cir.1991). 6 . Advantage argues in the alternative that the court “lacks subject matter jurisdiction to hear any claim based on rights that P.G.

As PWR has demonstrated, Defendant was neither subjectively ignorant nor acting in reliance upon any misleading communications from the state. We elaborate below: First, Defendant did nothing to investigate Ms. Nelson’s work status, despite the fact that the accident took place at mid-day on a work day and Ms. Nelson’s declaration that she used the vehicle to drive to and from work. See PWR Resp. 7 (citing Tucker Dep. 132:24-133:2). A claim by Defendant that it “lacked knowledge or the means of knowledge of the matter in question” here would be unpersuasive, given that even the most rudimentary inquiry into the matter would likely have disclosed Ms. Nelson’s status as a state agency employee. Cf. City of Crown Point v. Lake Cnty., 510 N.E.2d 684, 687 (Ind.1987) (); see also City of Evansville v. Follis, 161 ### Response: holding that estoppel cannot be applied if the facts are equally known by or accessible to both parties " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: cargo consolidator might, as here, fail to forward the freight payment to the carrier. Under the semi-strict “assumption of risk” view — the view taken by the district court — a shipper remains liable to a carrier, regardless of the shipper’s payment to a cargo consolidator like ICTS, unless the carrier intentionally released the shipper from its duty to pay under the bill of lading. See Nat’l Shipping Co. of Saudi Arabia v. Omni Lines, 106 F.3d 1544, 1546-47 (11th Cir.1997) (adopting rule of “semi-strict liability for shippers,” such that “unless the carrier intends to release the shipper from its duty to pay under the bill of lading, the shipper remains liable to the carrier, irrespective of the shipper’s payment to a [cargo consolidator]”); Strachan Shipping Co., 701 F.2d at 489-90 (); Sectr-Land Serv. v. Amstar Corp., 690 F.Supp. ### Response: holding that shipper is relieved of liability only if it can demonstrate that carrier actually released it " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Credit Union Services. These services include, but are not limited to, the use of a share or share draft account, check cashing privileges, ATM transactions, payroll deductions, online banking, and the opening of a new account will not be permitted until the deficiency has been rectified. There will be a 10 day notice of termination sent to the member. If it is a bankruptcy, it can be sent to the attorney. 4 .Assuming the Jaspers complete their plan, BFCU will be paid a dividend of $766.83 on its $15,336.65 unsecured claim. See Order Allowing & Disallowing Claims, doc. # 44, dated December 13, 2004. 5 . BFCU does not dispute that it is a “governmental unit” within the meaning of § 525(a). See 11 U.S.C. § 101(27); T I Federal Credit Union v. DelBonis, 72 F.3d 921, 930-38 (1st Cir.1995) (). For this case, the aptness of DelBonis’s ### Response: holding that federal credit unions are governmental units within the meaning 523a8 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 1206-07 — we are also unpersuaded. As the record shows, the advisory guidelines range that is applicable in the instant case was the 10-year mandatory minimum sentence, not the range of 57 to 71 months that would have applied without the mandatory minimum sentence. See U.S.S.G. § 5Gl.l(b) (providing that when a statutorily required minimum sentence is greater than the maximum of the applicable guidelines range, the statutorily required minimum sentence shall be the guidelines sentence). Thus, the government would have requested an improper sentence had it requested a sentence within the range of 57 to 71 months because the district court was not permitted to enter a sentence below the statutory mandatory minimum. See United States v. Castaing-Sosa, 530 F.3d 1358, 1360 (11th Cir.2008) (). Further, although the government did not ### Response: holding that a district court is not authorized to sentence a defendant below the statutory minimum unless the government filed a substantial assistance motion pursuant to 18 usc 3553e and ussg 5k11 or the defendant falls within the safetyvalve of 18 usc 3553f " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to the first element of the mere instrumentality rule articulated in Glenn, the Court finds that Plaintiff has failed to allege that Novar exercised “complete domination and control” over Indalex so that Indalex “had at the time no separate mind, will or existence of its own.” Thus, while Plaintiff may have alleged that Novar exercised control over Indalex, such allegations are insufficient to show that Novar exercised “complete domination and control” over Indalex as that language is defined in Glenn v. Wagner. Further, Plaintiffs Complaint contains no allegations that Indalex was a sham corporation. See, e.g., Broussard v. Meineke Discount Muffler Shops, Inc., 155 F.3d 331, 349 (4th Cir.1998) (citing B-W Acceptance Corp. v. Spencer, 268 N.C. 1, 8, 149 S.E.2d 570, 575 (N.C.1966)) (); Austin v.

Accordingly, the record neither compels, nor supports, a reversal of the IJ and BIA’s decisions. Thus, we deny the petitioners’ petition for review. PETITION DENIED. 1 . Repizo also argues that the lack of corroborative evidence to support his allegations of persecution was due to ineffective assistance of counsel, and indicates that he recendy filed a motion to reopen removal proceedings with the BIA on said grounds. Since the BIA has yet to make a determination with regard to his motion to reopen, we lack jurisdiction to review Repizo's ineffective assistance of counsel claim because he has not yet exhausted his administrative remedies.

We disagree. The alleged contract with the voters upon which Scarbrough bases her claims consists of Resolution 2003-93, i.e., the bond proposition itself, together with its exhibits, which the 2003 referendum approved, not extraneous documents.

Key Bank appeals the district court’s order. II. DISCUSSION The following legal issue was the primary focus of the parties’ briefs on appeal: whether a claimed Florida homestead exemption can be successfully challenged if the home is purchased with non-exempt assets with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud creditors in violation of Fla. Stat. § 726.105. In Bank Leumi Trust Co. v. Lang, 898 F.Supp. 883 (S.D.Fla.1995), the district court answered that question in the negative. Our research leads us to believe that this question is a significant issue of Florida law with respect to which the Florida precedent is not clear. See Butterworth v. Caggiano, 605 So.2d 56, 60 (Fla.1992) (); Palm Beach Savings & Loan Ass’n v. Fishbein, ### Response: holding that a homestead was exempt from civil or criminal forfeiture under floridas rico act because forfeitures are not mentioned either expressly or by reasonable implication in the three enumerated exceptions to floridas homestead exemption " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to recover obligations owed by SBMC. [Id. at p. 8]. In connection with these lawsuits, Plaintiffs incurred defense costs and had judgments entered against them personally after SBMC failed to pay the debts through its bankruptcy. [Adv. Doc. No. 17-1, p. 13]. The harm that Plaintiffs allegedly sustained in connection with lawsuits filed against them in their individual capacities is personal and entirely distinct from any harm suffered by SBMC. Therefore, Plaintiffs’ causes of action against Defendants for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty, and violation óf the DTPA that are based on suits filed against them by SBMC creditors are Plaintiffs’ direct causes of action that should not be dismissed. In re Skyport Global Commc’ns, Inc., 2011 WL 111427 (Bankr.S.D.Tex. Jan. 13, 2011) (). c. Derivative Causes of Action The Complaint ### Response: holding that dismissal is proper for a derivative cause of action but not for a direct cause of action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: The second (categorical) classification traditionally “comprises cases in which the Court implements the proportionality standard by certain categorical restrictions on the death penalty,” but was recently expanded by the Supreme Court to include term-of-years sentences in narrow instances. See id. Walker asserts that his sentence violates the Eighth Amendment both categorically and as-applied. A. Walker argues that his 180-month sentence categorically violates the Eighth Amendment under Graham. However, this court has concluded that Graham does not apply in cases where the defendant receives a sentence that is “less severe” than a life sentence. See United States v. Jones, 476 Fed.Appx. 651, 652 (6th Cir.2012) (unpublished); United States v. Moore, 643 F.3d 451, 457 (6th Cir.2011) ().

Verdell Harvey challenges the trial court’s summary denial of his motion for postconviction relief filed pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.850. Harvey’s motion contained five claims. We affirm the trial court’s rulings without discussion on four of the claims, but we reverse and remand with directions to the trial court on the fifth claim. Harvey was convicted of second-degree murder. In his motion, Harvey alleges that the trial court erred by not reclassifying this conviction from a first-degree felony to a life felony. In other words, Harvey alleges that the trial court erred by imposing a habitual offender sentence because the conviction was a life felony based on the use of a weapon. See, e.g., Nathan v. State, 689 So.2d 1150 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997) ().

There was no proof that Peter Rodriguez touched or physically threatened Pomales. While we do not preclude the possibility of a single-incident hostile work environment claim based on exclusively verbal conduct, successful single-incident claims typically have involved unwanted physical contact. See Barbara Lindemann & Paul Gross-man, Employment Discrimination Law at 795 n. 240 (3d ed.1996) (collecting cases). Finally, Pomales presented no h Cir.2000) ().

Compare Melgar de Torres v. Reno, 191 F.3d 307, 313 (2d Cir.1999) (well-founded fear diminished where family members continued to live in her native country), with Islami v. Gonzales, 412 F.3d 391, 397 (2d Cir.2005) (requiring government to show that “country conditions have changed radically” to establish a fundamental change in circumstances sufficient to rebut the presumption of a well-founded fear of persecution (emphasis added)), overruled in part on other grounds by Shi Liang Lin v.

See Doherty v. City of Chicago, 75 F.3d 318, 322 (7th Cir.1996). The District argues that (1) Kiser did not have a property interest in his continued employment and, (2) even if he had such an interest, his own allegations establish that his due process rights were not violated. As to the first argument, the critical question is whether Kiser had a “legitimate claim of entitlement” to continued employment. Thornton v. Barnes, 890 F.2d 1380, 1386 (7th Cir.1989) (quoting Bd. of Regents of State Coll. v. Roth, 408 U.S. 564, 577, 92 S.Ct. 2701, 33 L.Ed.2d 548 (1972)). Every contract that limits the reasons an employee may be terminated creates such an entitlement. See Roth, 408 U.S. at 578, 92 S.Ct. 2701 (). Kiser’s contract was to last through June 30, ### Response: holding that a plaintiff had an employment interest until the date his appointment terminated " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: summary judgment: (1) the action was barred by the statute of limitations; (2) the action was barred by the plaintiff’s laches; (3) the plaintiff failed to exhaust his remedies under the grievance procedure of the collective bargaining agreement; (4) the Union is a necessary and indispensable party. The trial court’s ruling was based solely on the first ground, and that is our primary concern here. However, since defendant also relies on the other grounds on this appeal, we will also deal with them. Whether jurisdiction is based upon diversity of citizenship or § 301 of the LMRA, the law of Nebraska relative to the appropriate statute of limitations applies. See International Union, United Automobile, etc. v. Hoosier Cardinal Corp., 383 U.S. 696, 86 S.Ct. 1107, 16 L. Ed.2d 192 (1966) (). Nebraska has a statute of limitations of four ### Response: holding that absent an applicable federal statute of limitations state statutes of limitations should be applied in 301 cases if they are not in conflict with federal policy " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the Court construes each count as if it were alleged against both Siemens and Dandekar. 3 . The Court construes Count IV as a state law claim because neither Title VII nor Section 1981 is mentioned as a basis for this count, and Plaintiff's response only proffers state law arguments. (R. 27, Pl.’s Resp. at 12.) 4 . Were the Court to consider these additional documents, the Court would need to exercise its discretion and convert the motion to dismiss into a motion for summary judgment, pursuant to Rule 12(d). Because the Court finds that consideration of such documents would not change its analysis, however, the Court declines to exercise its discretion to convert the motion to dismiss into a motion for summary judgement. See Hecker v. Deere & Co., 556 F.3d 575, 583 (7th Cir.2009) ### Response: holding that district court has discretion when deciding to convert a defendants motion to dismiss to a motion for summary judgment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: commitments, the City has remained determined to implement the Lodi Environmental Remediation Program without imposing the burden of Site response costs on the City's innocent taxpayers or ratepayers. Accordingly, the City has sought to borrow from the capital markets additional funds on terms that would not impact the general or special funds of the City of Lodi. To that end, the City of Lodi identified a lender that was willing to provide funds to the City of Lodi for implementation of the Lodi Environmental Remediation Program on terms acceptable to the City Council. 33 . To date, we have declined to decide whether a municipality is a ""private party” or the ""State,” i.e., the government, for purposes of CERCLA § 107(a)(4).

Courts in our Circuit, for example, have construed the term “news media” to include readily accessible websites. See United States ex rel Green v. Serv. Contract Educ. & Training Trust Fund, 843 F.Supp.2d 20, 32 (D.D.C.2012). Courts have also broadly construed the term “administrative reports” to include publiely-searchable databases. See United States ex rel. Rosner v. WB/Stellar IP Owner, L.L.C., 739 F.Supp.2d 396, 407 (S.D.N.Y.2010) ().

See Tex.R.App. P. 38.1(h) (requiring that appellant’s brief contain arguments to support contentions).

II. Beads ISKCON also wants to go on selling two types of beads at its stand on the Mall. One type apparently serves as an instrument of prayer and meditation while the other serves to identify the wearer as a devotee of Krishna. ISKCON’s sale of the former is of no moment to the First Amendment; those beads may be an aid to spiritual activity, but they are not in themselves communicative. I presume that the Park Service could not prohibit the use of a rosary or perhaps of a prayer mat on the Mall, but that does not mean that it must also allow vendors to sell them there. See There to Care, Inc. v. Commissioner of Indiana Department of Revenue, 19 F.3d 1165, 1167 (7th Cir.1994) ().

To be sure, the court in Fleischman adhered to its decision to deny class certification as to the issues of antitrust impact and damages, even after the plaintiffs in that case retained Dr. Ashenfelter as an additional expert whose benchmark analysis offered a means by which the plaintiffs could potentially establish antitrust impact and damages through common proof.

However, in each of those cases, the plaintiff filed suit directly under § 301, seeking to recover against a non-signatory to the collective bargaining agreement, and the courts w . 1054, 1056-57 (E.D.Mich.1995) ().

At the Rule 104 hearing, the defense’s expert, Dr. Shaler, did not contest the accuracy of Cellmark’s databases. Instead, he relied on them in his own statistical calculations.

In contrast, in the instant case, this Court’s jurisdiction is based solely on diversity of citizenship. Plaintiff has not asserted any claims under § 301. She has asserted only state law claims. The question before this Court is whether non-signatories to a CBA can invoke § 301 preemption as a defense to a plaintiffs state law claims. Several courts have held that they can.

Buckley v. Trenton Sav. Fund Soc., 111 N.J. 355, 366, 544 A.2d 857 (1988). Defendants submit that Kounelis’s IIED claim must fail because his distress cannot be characterized as severe. Defendants assert that, despite Kounelis’s allegations of emotional distress, he has never been treated for his alleged anxiety, nor has he presented any objective medical evidence suggesting that his emotional distress was the proximate result of Defendants’ conduct. Contrary to Defendants’ assertions, neither medical treatment, nor expert testimony is necessary in order for a plaintiff to prevail on an IIED claim. Bolden v.

Le Doux also challenges her liability for frivolous return penalties because she contends that she did not receive a proper Form 17 Notice and Demand. This argument is without merit. The IRS may send notice and demand on any form so long as it includes the information that 26 U.S.C. § 6303 requires. See Long v. United States, 972 F.2d 1174, 1181(10th Cir.1992)(“Not only does the IRS Manual not confer on the taxpayer a substantive right to receive a particular form, but also ‘the form on which a notice of assessment and demand for payment is made is irrelevant as long as it provides the taxpayer with all the information required under 26 U.S.C. 6303(a).’ ’’)(quoting Elias v.

That is, “the theory underlying the tort of bad faith settlement of a first-party claim is that there is an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing” and this “covenant is dependent upon a contractual relationship between the plaintiff and the insurer.” Id. at 776. In contrast, the “theory underlying the liability” in a third-party case is predicated upon “a fiduciary relationship between the insured and insurer[.]” Id. at 772-773.

At the outset, we reject Ms. Blackwell’s argument that because this was a complex medical malpractice case with no fewer than four breaches of the applicable standard of care alleged, the jury was obligated to reach unanimity on each theory of breach before determining whether a particular breach proximately caused Ms. Bowman’s death. The trial court correctly noted that, by consenting to a verdict form that simply asked one single question about breach instead of requesting a special verdict form specifically addressing each of the alleged breaches, appellants forfeited this argument. See Burke v. Scaggs, 867 A.2d 213, 221 (D.C.2005) (); Nimetz v. Cappadona, 596 A.2d 603, 606-08 ### Response: holding in a medical malpractice case involving several theories of liability that the appellant by not requesting a special verdict form has forfeited his right to complain on appeal that the jury might not have been unanimous in its views " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 436 U.S. at 690-91, 98 S.Ct. 2018; see also Board of County Comm’rs of Bryan County, Okla. v.

The district court properly found that Fox has neither alleged nor presented any evidence that Hartrum and Van Oosterum acted pursuant to county policy or custom when they refused to return Fox’s driver’s license.

The initial encounter with Walker was a valid stop pursuant to Terry v.

Section 684(a)(1) of the Probate Code states as much. Furthermore, given the plain wording of section 643, an applicant for guardianship is entitled to have the jury address that fact, assuming its provisions are satisfied. So, if Green was correct in his reading of section 692, then the applicant would be obligated to prove to the trial court that the proposed ward was an incapacitated person in order to win the right to prove the same thing to a jury. In short, two trials would be required; one to a trial court in order to secure one to a jury. Yet, such an inefficient and wasteful result would be absurd and hardly that intended by the legislature. See Cooper v. St. Paul Fire and Marine Ins.

Id. Wright undoubtedly satisfies the first two elements: DOCCS does not dispute that Wright is a qualified individual because he suffers from cerebral palsy and scoliosis or that DOCCS is an entity that is subject to the statutes. Fulton v. Goord, 591 F.3d 37, 43 (2d Cir. 2009) (recognizing that DOCCS is subject to the ADA and RA). Both the ADA and the RA undoubtedly apply to state prisons and their prisoners. See Pa.

As a result, this Court concludes that regardless of how plaintiff was appointed to the position of President Judge, the holding in Blake is still applicable to the instant case. With regard to the liberty interest asserted by plaintiff, plaintiff argues that the actions of defendant constitute a liberty interest; defamation must be combined with a more tangible interest under state law, and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has already held that a President Judge has no legal interest under state law in his administrative duties and responsibilities.

In fact, they conceded Mother held legal title to these tracts. Rather, they asserted they held equitable title to the tracts and sought specific performance as a remedy for Mother’s alleged breach of the contracts to sell the tracts. Further, our appellate courts have traditionally viewed the main purpose of a cause of action seeking specific performance as the pursuit of equitable relief and thus have found such a claim to be equitable in nature. See Ingram v. Kasey’s Assocs., 340 S.C. 98, 105, 531 S.E.2d 287, 290-91 (2000) (applying the equitable standard of review to the findings of fact in a specific performance action); Lowcountry Open Land Trust v.

In the years following the Agnew decision the Ninth Circuit has been presented with a number of cases in which plaintiffs alleging membership in distinctive groups of the population brought suit pursuant to section 1981. In each of these cases the district court had either dismissed the complaint or entered judgment in favor of the defendants. In each instance the circuit court reversed and allowed the plaintiff to sue under section 1981 without any discussion of whether the claims involved discrimination on the basis of race or national origin or of whether such distinction could be made.

A more compelling ground for resolving the issue is that legal constraints protecting freedom of expression are primarily designed as a shield, not a sword. They may be invoked generally in defense of freedom and only rarely to sustain an action for damages. The legal system stands ready to shield freedom against unlawful governmental intrusion, but reluctant to use the sword of damages to vindicate one claim of freedom by striking down another. Cf. NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware Co., 458 U.S. 886, 920-32, 102 S.Ct. 3409, 3430-36, 73 L.Ed.2d 1215 (1982) ().

See Response to Motion, dkt. no. 22, P-2 However, the Defendant contends that the issues decided by the state court are not identical to the issues concerning the nondischargeability claim because the April 4 Order did not establish the existence of an express trust. In support, the Defendant asserts, without any supporting authority, that a fiduciary relationship under § 523(a)(4) is limited to express and technical trusts. The Defendant is mistaken. The Seventh Circuit has made clear that a fiduciary duty for purposes of § 523(a)(4) also applies in circumstances which, “while not involving trusts in a formal sense, seemed to call for the imposition of the same high standard.” In re Marchiando, at 1115; see also In re McDade, 282 B.R. 650, 658 (Bankr.N.D.Ill.2002) (); In re Odeh, 431 B.R. 807, 816 ### Response: recognizing that fiduciary relationships may arise for nondischargeability purposes outside of express trusts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to collect attorney’s fees, and the condo association was not “bound to accept something less than the full sum to which it was entitled.” Id. at 471.

However, we have also held that a trial court does not abuse its discretion in awarding a homeowners’ association only a portion of its fees where the association did not prevail on all of its claims and where the trial court conducted a thorough review of the record, which included a detailed worksheet on litigation expenses.

As the same court later noted, in a summary of the Gould decision, “where a collective bargaining agreement explicitly requires union officers and representatives to use every reasonable effort to terminate an unauthorized ‘work stoppage,’ an employer may single out for disciplinary discharge a union steward who fails to take affirmative steps to terminate that work stoppage.” Hammermill Paper Co. v.

At this point in the analysis, the line between pleading falsity and pleading fraud becomes blurred. As defendants note, in the Second Circuit, the information and belief pleading requirement appears to be an integral part of the strong inference standard for pleading scienter.

Nonetheless, Abernethy claims, because the payments were to be made to him in Johnson County, the contract was assumed to be performed in Johnson County. The district court agreed with this conclusion. However, “a contract to pay at a particular place arising from implication of law is not sufficient” such that section 616.7 would apply. Bechtel v. Dist. Ct., 215 Iowa 295, 245 N.W. 299, 300 (1932). Due to the lack of specification with regard to the locality of performance, Iowa Code section 616.7 is not a vehicle through which the suit may be brought outside of Schmitt’s resident county.

Thus, in three different statutory provisions, Congress has provided that a court shall dismiss a prisoner’s complaint if the court determines that the complaint is frivolous, malicious, fails to state a claim on which relief can be granted, or seeks monetary relief from an immune defendant. In Black’s Law Dictionary, the word “shall” is defined as follows: As used in statutes, contracts, or the like, this word is generally imperative or mandatory. In common or ordinary parlance, and in its ordinary signification, the term “ 07 S.Ct. 2415, 96 L.Ed.2d 303 (1987) (); and Hughes v.

As the district court noted, a recalculation may be required as a result of the remand to the bankruptcy court, but no error in the award of fees and costs appears to date. AFFIRMED. 1 . The Bank filed no cross-appeal. Therefore, the Bank's argument that we should reverse the district court’s holding that Plaintiffs held equitable title to the Property is not properly before us.

We held in Dabit that such claims are preempted by SLUSA because they allege misstatements “in connection with” the purchase or sale of securities as that term was interpreted by the Supreme Court in SEC v.

While Plaintiffs are correct that their prescribed meaning is not unreasonable, this assertion misses the point. In First Amendment jurisprudence, it is not the meaning prescribed by or the effect on the listener that controls. See e.g. Hustler Magazine, 485 U.S. 46, 108 S.Ct. 876, 99 L.Ed.2d 41 (); NAACP v.

We have not yet ruled on whether the direct threat defense includes threats to one’s self and decline to do so in the present case because the issue was not addressed in the district court and has not been properly presented in this appeal. We note, however, that two courts in other circuits have considered this issue and have reached different results. Compare Kohnke v.

Futura draws an analogy to a situation where a judgment is entered against a corporate subsidiary and the judgment is unenforcable because the corporate parent has looted the subsidiary. In such instance, suits or enforcement proceedings against the corporate parent to enforce the judgment have been permitted. See, e.g., Explosives Corp. of America v.

In his brief in opposition to defendant’s motion for summary judgment, presently pending before this court, Toyee argues that ""the arrogance and intentional political posturing that defendant attributed to plaintiff on the basis of this event [the T-shirt incident] clearly contributed to the alleged ""unprofessional attitude” that admittedly was the primary factor in the decision to discharge [Toyee].

In other words, Smarts would have this Court foreclose Delphi as prior art based on the inadequacy of a demonstration when it is not at all clear — by Smarts’ own design — what could or should have been demonstrated, or what aspect of the Delphi software was, in fact, anticipatory. Triable issues thus exist with respect to the application of Sections 102(a), 102(b), and 102(g). It may of course be the case that, given both the nature of the prior art and the extent of Morgan Stanley’s demonstration to third parties, Delphi may not ultimately qualify as prior art under those statutory provisions. However, such issues must be left for another day. C.f Articulate Sys., 53 F.Supp.2d at 63, 75-76 ().

See Restatement, supra, § 256 cmt. a (if a repudiation is nullified it eliminates all consequences of a repudiation). Thus, a retraction reinstates the obligations of the other party, including any conditions precedent, so that the performance of such conditions is once again necessary before the repudiating party can be charged with breach. Corbin, supra, § 980, at 933. However, a retraction, to be effective, must be clear and unequivocal; it may not impose new conditions not in accord with the original contract. See Pichignau v.

Sadeeq next contends that the ALJ erred by discounting his testimony and the written testimony of his wife regarding the debilitating effect of his heart condition and leg pain. The ALJ provided specific, clear and convincing reasons to discount Sadeeq’s testimony and the written statements of Sadeeq’s wife regarding the intensity, persistence and limiting effects of Sadeeq’s symptoms. First, the ALJ properly found that Sa-deeq’s assertion of debilitating limitations was undermined by the medical evidence. See Chaudhry v. Astrue, 688 F.3d 661, 670-71 (9th Cir.2012) ().

After considering Defendant’s request, at the conclusion of the August 22, 2001 Settlement Conference, the Court ordered Defendant to file its motion and legal memorandum by September 6, 2001. Plaintiffs’ response was due on September 21, 2001. Having received the parties’ submissions, the Court will now decide, in light of Lebrón and Gelabert, whether Plaintiff is substantially limited in the major life activity of “working” for the purposes of the ADA. Defendant has proceeded pursuant to Sutton v. United Air Lines, 527 U.S. 471, 483, 119 S.Ct. 2139, 144 L.Ed.2d 450 (1999) () to discuss the undisputed facts of the case at ### Response: holding that whether a person has a disability under the ada is an individualized inquiry " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: on Mr. Stanley’s behavior, which was also a concern of the district court, see id. Vol. 4 at 72, so this delay does not weigh against the government. In addition, the two-month delay required for the later competency evaluation that was requested by defense counsel weighs against Mr. Stanley. Mr. Stanley alleges that the substitution of district judges on October 31, 2008, caused delay, but he has not explained how the change of judge delayed his case. Consequently, this claim does not weigh against the government. Cf. Gomez, 67 F.3d at 1522 (“[D]elay attributable to an overburdened judg cooperate with his attorneys and the necessity of substituting lead counsel twice — once a month before trial — resulted in considerable delay to be weighed against him.

See Order of June 6, 2002 (Docket No. 67). The plaintiffs’ second claim of political discrimination was tried before a jury from December 2-23, 2002, along with the damages phase of their due process claim. Ultimately, the jury rendered a verdict against plaintiffs, finding that defendants had not dismissed plaintiffs based on political grounds, and also awarding zero damages for the defendants’ violation of plaintiffs’ due process rights. See Verdict Forms (Docket Nos. 119-150). Notwithstanding, the Court upon entering judgment, awarded each plaintiff one dollar ($1.00) as nominal compensation for their due process claim. See Judgment of January 7, 2003 (Docket No. 152). See also Campos-Orrego v. Rivera, 175 F.3d 89, 98 (1st Cir.1999) ().

But there are actually two types of prejudice relevant to this factor: (1) trial prejudice, i.e., prejudice in the defendant’s ability to mount a defense at trial; and (2) non-trial prejudice. The Supreme Court has described the latter type of prejudice as follows: Inordinate delay between public charge and trial, wholly aside from possible prejudice to a defense on the merits, may seriously interfere with the defendant’s liberty, whether he is free on bail or not, and may disrupt his employment, drain his financial resources, curtail his associations, subject him to public obloquy, and create anxiety in him, his family and his friends.

Because the majority concludes that under Article II, Section 7 of the Colorado Constitution, a dog sniff of a person's automobile intrudes upon a reasonable expectation of privacy and constitutes a search, and because the majority discerns no reasonable suspicion, I respectfully dissent. I The purpose of both the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article II, Section 7 of the Colorado Constitution is to protect a person's legitimate expectation of privacy from unreasonable governmental intrusion.

The State contends that because it was impossible for defendant to have completed the crime he had attempted, the instruction was correct. We disagree. “[C]lear and correct jury instructions are essential for a fair trial.” State v. Brown, 138 N.J. 481, 522, 651 A.2d 19 (1994). Jury instructions constitute “a road map to guide the jury, and without an appropriate charge a jury can take a wrong turn in its deliberations.” State v. Martin, 119 N.J. 2, 15, 573 A.2d 1359 (1990). “So critical is the need for accuracy that erroneous instructions on material points are presumed to be reversible error.” Ibid. Accord, State v.

Subsequently, however, Camacho and Rounds testified that Lindquist too had a role in the design of the patented invention. (Kneafsey Decl. Ex. 19, at 392-93, ECF No. 175-25); (Id. Ex. 24, at 9, ECF No. 175-30 (deposition transcript of Rounds)) “Thus, there is flatly contradictory evidence relating to the matter critical for determining whether the ['629 and '855 Patents are] invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 102(f).” Checkpoint, 412 F.3d at 1338 ().

Because Congress failed to articulate a “clear, unambiguous, and express statement of congressional intent to preclude judicial consideration on habeas,” the Court concluded that the IIRIRA did not eliminate habeas jurisdiction. Id. at 314, 121 S.Ct. 2271. The petitioner notes that as in St. Cyr, several circuit courts have held that because 28 U.S.C. § 2242(d) does not contain a sufficiently clear and unambiguous expression of congressional intent to limit judicial review of habeas petitions brought under the FARR Act, that provision does not strip district courts of habeas jurisdiction over FARR Act claims. See Cadet v. Bulger, 377 F.3d 1173, 1182-83 (11th Cir.2004) (); Singh v.

As noted by Appellant, materiality extends to evidence affecting the credibility of witnesses, rather than merely to purely exculpatory evidence. See Giglio v. United States, 405 U.S. 150, 154, 92 S.Ct. 763, 31 L.Ed.2d 104 (1972) (“When the ‘reliability of a given witness may well be determinative of guilt or innocence,’ nondisclosure of evidence affecting credibility falls within this general rule.”). Moreover, we have held that the protection of Brady extends to the defendant’s ability to investigate alternate defense theories and to formulate trial strategy. See Commonwealth v.

The Trust had entered into a management agreement with Wolford under which Wol-ford was responsible for the contract, including its recording. LARSON, Justice (dissenting). I dissent because section 558.46 does not clearly provide for criminal, as opposed to civil, punishment. In such a case, doubts must be resolved in favor of the defendant. See Rewis v.

After examining the relevant regulations, we find that the status of an ANDA holder’s product as the RLD for a given prescription drug product does not alter the ANDA holder’s obligations. Therefore, we affirm the district court’s rejection of the Plaintiffs RLD theory against Mylan. 3. Remaining State Law Claims Plaintiffs argue that the district court erred in dismissing their remaining state law claims including breach of express and implied warranty, misrepresentation, fraud, consumer protection, and statutory negligence. A prior panel of this Court rejected similar claims, including breach of warranty, fraud, and misrepresentation under Tennessee law in Strayhorn v.

We explained the trial court correctly found the former husband in contempt for willfully violating the divorce judgment by receiving and 0 (stating trial court should take all reasonable measures to ensure that QDROs are drafted and entered as soon as possible after entry of the divorce decree). Thus, the trial court erred by shifting the responsibility for obtaining a QDRO from the trial court that entered the 1993 divorce decree to Mary Blomdahl, a party to the decree. Further, under ERISA, there is no statute of limitations for the entry of a QDRO. See Jordan, 147 S.W.3d at 260 (noting the intentional absence of a statute of limitations for the entry of a QDRO under ERISA); see also Marshall v.

Newman’s claimed lack of a Hispanic accent was apparently the only defense he had to offer. There may be cases in which the wrongful exclusion of such evidence might be considered harmless, but we conclude that this is not one of them. Although on retrial Newman will be entitled to offer a voice exemplar without waiving his privilege against self-incrimination, he will of course be required to establish its reliability.

Here, in support of the design defect claim, Plaintiff alleges that the risks of the reservoir design outweighed its benefits, especially considering the availability of alternative, safer designs.

Admin. Code 1-4-3 to 1-4-5. Subsequently, they may seek an agency review of the ALJ’s decision. 470 Ind. Admin. Code 1-4-6. Finally, if still dissatisfied, the Providers may seek judicial review. 470 Ind. Admin. Code 1-4-7. Tellingly, the Providers have not challenged the adequacy of these appellate remedies, nor even acknowledged FSSA’s argument that these remedies exist. Easter House, 910 F.2d at 1405 (assuming that the state’s offered remedies were adequate because the parties gave little attention to the issue); Kauth v. Hartford Ins. Co. of Ill., 852 F.2d 951, 955-56 (7th Cir.1988) (). Further, there is no evidence that the ### Response: holding that the plaintiff has not raised a colorable claim that he was denied procedural due process because he did not allege that the available state remedies are constitutionally inadequate " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: infants. Id. 5 . There was no such pending allegation at the time of the incident. See Def's. Mot. to Dismiss or Summary Judgment, 5. 6 . Although not styled as a Motion for Spoliation Sanctions, the Court interprets Strand’s allegations of spoliation in her Response in Opposition (ECF No. 52) as such. 7 . Initially, Strand also asserted that the Government breached its duties by failing to hire enough personnel to adequately supervise the pool field trip and failing to properly train its counselors. While it seems that Strand may have abandoned both of these theories, even if she has not, they are barred by the discretionary function exception. Staffing decisions are indisputably discretionary functions. See S.A. Empresa de Viacao Aerea Rio Grandense, 467 U.S. at 820, 104 S.Ct. 2755 (). With regard to the first step of ### Response: holding that faa implementation of safety regulations was discretionary because in part such decisions required the agency to establish priorities for the accomplishment of its policy objectives by balancing the objectives sought against such practical considerations as staffing and funding " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (9th Cir.2004) (affirming district court’s ruling that arbitration agreement was valid and enforceable even when plaintiffs contended that they never received or saw a copy of the incorporated arbitration agreement because the arbitration agreement was easily available to the plaintiffs). According to Mr. Calderon, it is standard policy and procedure for employees of the Costa Rican Hertz licensee to give the folder jacket to the customer at the time a vehicle is rented. Calderon Declaration, ECF No. 31 at 2, ¶ 6. Thus, even if Mr. Martin did not receive it, it appears that the folder jacket was easily available to him, and he does not declare facts to suggest otherwise. Courts have enforced incorporated arbitration agreements in similar situations. See Koffler, 2011 WL 1086035, at *4 (); Wolschlager, 111 Cal.App.4th at 789-91, 4 ### Response: holding under california law that a set of general terms and conditions that included an arbitration agreement and that were not provided to plaintiff but were available upon request were properly incorporated by reference into a purchase agreement " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: CAÍ has presented evidence that Mr. Long and HughGM used the stolen proprietary information to steal significantly-valued contracts with Boeing, Microsoft, and other “Fortune 100 clients”. If proven, the injury to CAI in Indiana is unquestionably substantial. Moreover, Mr. Long’s contacts with CAI in Indiana, as CAI’s employee, is precisely what made his alleged scheme of fraud possible. Accordingly, Mr. Long must be held to have purposefully directed his tortious activities at Indiana. (Filing No, 56 at 25-26.) Thus, the Court affords CAI’s choice of its home forum considerable deference. In addition, when considering the convenience of the parties, courts also consider the parties’ abilities to bear the expense of trial in a particular forum. Dee Eng’g, Inc., 2003 WL 1089515, at *2-3 (); Bussell, 939 F.Supp. at 651. In this case, ### Response: holding that the larger of the two parties was in a better position to bear the cost of litigating outside of its home forum " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: we know of no basis for crafting a theory of estoppel based upon sworn statements in a tax return and will not explore such a theory sua sponte. 3 . The Court stated: It may hardly be disputed that each of the strikers resisted the captain and other officers in the free and lawful exercise of their authority and command, within the meaning of § 293, or that they combined and conspired to that end, within the meaning of § 292. Deliberately and persistently they defied direct commands to perform their duties in making ready for the departure from port. Id. at 40. 4 . Backpay awards for violations of the Act would appear to be the type of non-tort recovery that is taxable. See Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Schleier, 515 U.S. 323, 337, 115 S.Ct. 2159, 132 L.Ed.2d 294 (1995) () 5 . We acknowledge that, as we discuss below, ### Response: holding that settlement for backpay in age discrimination case was not excludable from taxpayers reported gross income because recovery for back wages does not satisfy the critical requirement of the irs tax code of being on account of any personal injury nor is it based upon tort or tort type rights " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the Fifth Circuit in Shelton v. United States, 246 F.2d 571, 572 n. 2 (5th Cir.1957) (en banc), rev’d on other grounds, 356 U.S. 26, 78 S.Ct. 563, 2 L.Ed.2d 579 (1958)). However, “[cjertain possible consequences of a guilty plea are ‘collateral’ rather than direct and need not be explained to the defendant in order to ensure that the plea is voluntary.” United States v. U.S. Currency in the Amount of $228,536.00, 895 F.2d 908, 915 (2d Cir. 1990) (listing examples of collateral consequences, such as parole revocation, the likelihood of an unfavorable military discharge, and the potential for civil commitment proceedings). Thus, district courts need not inform a defendant of collateral consequences during the plea colloquy. See United States v. Salerno, 66 F.3d 544, 550-51 (2d Cir.1995) (). The requirements of Rule 11 are consistent ### Response: holding that an enhancement in a future sentence based on the present conviction is a collateral consequence and need not be advised of by the district court in its plea colloquy " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: want to do anything that would distort the financials of General Reinsurance.”). Regardless of whether the final structure of the deal took shape in mid-November 2000, this evidence provides an adequate basis for a rational jury to conclude that the conspiracy to artificially inflate AIG’s loss reserves and deceive the company’s investors started with Greenberg’s call to Ferguson on October 31, 2000. Lastly, Ferguson argues that the government presented insufficient evidence that a secret side agreement ensured that the LPT was a no-risk deal, and that Ferguson knew of it and agreed to it as part of the overall deal. This argument, however, is also unavailing, in light of the evidence at trial supporting both inferences. See United States v. Jones, 393 F.3d 107, 111 (2d Cir.2004) (). The government presented sufficient evidence ### Response: holding that evidence tending to show knowing participation in the conspiracy is sufficient to sustain conspiracy conviction " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to avoid creating a protected liberty interest: ""Good conduct time is a privilege and not a right.” Tex. Govt.Code § 498.003. On the other hand, the causa] relationship between a disciplinary infraction and loss of goodtime credits appears to make Texas law indistinguishable from the law at issue in Wolff. See Tex. Govt.Code § 498.004 (""If ... the inmate commits an offense or violates a rule of the division, the department may forfeit all or any part of the inmate’s accrued good conduct time.”). The Fifth Circuit has addressed the issue from a variety of angles, but no case directly addresses the issue of whether Texas prisoners have a constitutional interest in their accrued good-time credits under current Texas law. See Hallmark v. Johnson, 118 F.3d 1073, 1079-1080 (5th Cir.1997) (); Allison v.

In determining whether a time period set by federal law is a statute of limitations, the Court considers the “functional characteristics” of the statute, that is, whether the time period at issue serves the policies of a statute of limitations. Lozano, 134 S.Ct. at 1234-35 & n.6. A statute of limitations is generally “[a] law that bars claims after a specified period; specifically, a statute establishing a time limit for suing in a civil case, based on the date when the claim accrued (as when the injury occurred or was discovered).” Black’s Law Dictionary 1636 (10th ed. 2014); see also CTS Corp., 134 S.Ct. at 2182 () (quoting Black’s Law Dictionary 1546 (9th ed. ### Response: holding that a statute of limitations creates a time limit fpr suing in a civil case based on the date when the claim accrued " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: requirements to discuss the relevant socioeconomic impacts of the RBTI. In addition, the Fifth Circuit has long held that the “[djetermination of economic benefits and costs that are tangential to environmental consequences are within th[e] wide area of agency discretion.” S. La. Envtl. Council, Inc. v. Sand, 629 F.2d 1005, 1011 (5th Cir.1980).

He too was not an at-will employee. Wallace State’s reasons for placing Hammons on administrative leave with full pay through her contract term and failure to renew her employment contract extended beyond issues in the Financial Aid Office, and neither Allen nor Bowie were responsible for, or in any way involved in, those other problems. Simply put, neither of these proposed comparators was “similarly situated in all relevant respects” or “nearly identical” to Hammons. See Wilson, 376 F.3d at 1091. Accordingly, the district court did not err by finding Hammons failed to meet the fourth prong of her prima facie disparate-treatment claim. IV. We likewise affirm the district court’s entry of summary 1 (S.D.Ala.1997), aff’d 140 F.3d 1043 (11th Cir.1998) ().

Notwithstanding the shortcomings of the foregoing, Butamax has identified sufficient evidence that at least creates a genuine dispute of material fact. Gevo makes much of the fact that Dickinson, though cited in the '889 patent, was not cited in connection with the deactivation of this pathway and was not incorporated by reference into the patent. Nonetheless, Dickinson’s teachings still reflect what was known in the art. See Falko-Gunter Falkner v. Inglis, 448 F.3d 1357, 1368 (Fed.Cir.2006) ().

See Marquart, 1997-NMCA-090, ¶ 19, 123 N.M. 809, 945 P.2d 1027 (“Our ruling, however, does not prevent a court from imposing as a condition of probation that the probationer give his or her consent to reasonable warrantless searches by a probation officer to ensure compliance with the conditions of probation.”); Gallagher, 100 N.M. at 699, 675 P.2d at 431 (); Gardner, 95 N.M. at 174, 619 P.2d at 850 ### Response: holding a warrantless probation search condition that is reasonably related to a probationers rehabilitation is a valid limitation to a defendants fourth amendment rights " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that “evidence showing a murder ‘to have been deliberate, premeditated and wilful could be so clear and uncontroverted that a trial court could properly refuse to instruct on the lesser included offenses.’ ” Buchanan v.

The evidence in the present case does not support the defendant’s proffered instructions. An instruction on first degree murder was not warranted because the video tape clearly established that Burnett was shot in the chest during the commission of armed robbery at the convenience store. See Bennett v. Commonwealth, 236 Va. 448, 470, 374 S.E.2d 303, 317 (1988), cert, denied, 490 U.S. 1028 (1989) ().

Rather, it said that disability services offices in colleges were “offices” under the Act. These smaller offices had to be designated as voter registration agencies, according to NCSD, because they were offering “programs primarily engaged in providing services” to disabled students. Second, it argued that the ADA requires colleges to provide convenient and accessible voter registration sites for disabled students. Third, NCSD went beyond its complaint and argued that the ADA requires Virginia to provide braille and large print voter registration applications for persons who are visually impaired., This third argument was apparently based on Lightbourn v.

The Fifth District held that rule 3.170(g)(2)(A) is not jurisdictional because it permits the time for filing to be altered. A jurisdictional rule cannot be altered by the court or by agreement of the parties. See, e.g., Cunningham v. Standard Guar. Ins.

Ad hominem attacks on counsel and the district court do not count as legal argument, and Mr. Leo’s scant references to any legal issues fall short of his obligation to adequately frame and develop his arguments.

Appellant’s claim that his self-professed indi-gency affects the validity of the special assessment is not properly before us and we express no opinion on it. Absent an indication ""that the government has attempted or will attempt to collect the special assessment while [the defendant] lacks the ability to pay,” United States v. Rivera-Velez, 839 F.2d 8, 8 (1st Cir.1988) (per curiam) — and there is no such indication in this record — appellant's challenge is prematurely posed. See id.; accord Pagan, 785 F.2d at 381; cf.

[15] The omnibus date in this case was ultimately set for November 6, 2013. Thus, under the statute, Zamani was required to file his notice of an insanity defense by October 17, 2013. The court held a final pretrial hearing on April 16, 2014, at which it heard argument on the State’s motion in limine, and at the hearing Zamani’s counsel verbally indicated that Zamani stated that he believes he is insane. [16] As Zamani attempted a late filing of the required notice, the trial court had discretion whether to accept it. See Ankney v. State, 825 N.E.2d 965, 970 (Ind.Ct. App.2005) (“Ankney attempted a late filing of the required notice, and, thus, the trial court had discretion whether to accept it.”) (citing Eveler v.

See generally Mathews, 426 U.S. 67, 96 S.Ct. 1883, 48 L.Ed.2d 478. It is also not wholly irrational for Congress to distinguish between aliens based on their family connection to legalized United States residents, in furtherance of a general amnesty scheme. B. International Law Claims Mr. Ayala-Caballero also asserts that, in making its determination the BIA failed sufficiently to consider the best interest of his citizen children. Citing a district court case for support, Ayala-Caballero asserts that this failure contravenes customary international law principles as incorporated in federal law. See Beharry v. Reno, 183 F.Supp.2d 584 (E.D.N.Y.2002) (). This court’s recent decision in ### Response: holding that article 3 of the united nations convention on the rights of the child has attained the status of customary international law and is therefore incorporated in federal law " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: asserted by Congress and requirements imposed by state law. Nor has it mattered whether the States have acted through laws of broad general application rather than laws specifically directed towards the governance of industrial relations. Regardless of the mode adopted, to allow the States to control conduct which is the subject of national regulation would create potential frustration of national purposes. However, it is clear that preemption under Garmon is not “complete.” Every court to address the issue directly has reached this conclusion. See Lontz v. Tharp, 413 F.3d 435, 442-43 (4th Cir.2005) (“[Sjections 7 and 8 do not work to completely preempt the kind of state law claims that plaintiffs are pressing.”); Felix v.

The Supreme Court in similar situations — when plaintiffs challenged the constitutional composition or character of a tribunal — determined the constitutional status issue without reaching the merits. See, e.g., Commodity Futures Trading Comm’n v. Schor, 478 U.S. 833, 859, 106 S.Ct. 3245, 3261, 92 L.Ed.2d 675 (1986) (upholding constitutionality of CFTC’s authority to adjudicate common law counterclaims without passing on the merits of the counterclaim); Northern Pipeline Constr.

Gupta’s motions for summary action are denied, as is his motion to strike Wipro’s motion for summary action in C.A. No. 15-3194. * This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent. 1 . Gupta initially filed the complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, which, upon Wipro’s motion (which was joined by the Secretary of Labor), transferred the matter to the District of New Jersey. To the extent that Gupta seeks review of that transfer order, we lack jurisdiction. See Posnanski v. Gibney, 421 F.3d 977, 980 (9th Cir.2005) (). 2 .

Further, Officer Quintero saw M.C. hide behind a dumpster after he approached in his marked police K-9 vehicle and then begin to quickly walk away from Officer Quintero when he got out of the vehicle. M.C.’s actions, as observed by Officer Quintero, plus any rational inferences to be drawn from them, establish that M.C. was acting in an unusual way at the time and place the police officer encountered him, suggesting a breach of the peace was imminent. Thus, M.C.’s actions were “aberrant and suspicious criminal conduct” that law-abiding individuals do not engage in.

Captives typically buy reinsurance as a risk-spreading mechanism. See In re Petition of the Bd. of Dirs. of Hopewell Int’l Ins., Ltd., 272 B.R. 396, 400 & n. 1 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.2002). Here, FFG purchased reinsurance from (or, in proper parlance, ceded it to) Federal on the Policy. Under this particular type of reinsurance (known as quota-share reinsurance), Federal agreed to cover 30% of FFG’s losses under the Policy in exchange for the same percentage of Fleet's premium. 5 .

Id. After looking at the legislative history of section 725.9, we determined section 725.9 was not limited to the dissemination of obscene materials to minors and instead restricted governmental subdivisions from enacting any local ordinances regulating conduct covered in chapter 725, now chapter 728. Id. at 374. The United States Supreme Court had come to the same conclusion when reviewing a conviction from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa for a violation of a federal statute prohibiting the mailing of obscene materials. See Smith v. United States, 431 U.S. 291, 293-95, 97 S.Ct. 1756, 1760-61, 52 L.Ed.2d 324, 331-32 (1977) ().

This is particularly true when the written order is included in the appellate record and. no issue is raised as to its accuracy. Ablon, 537 S.W.2d at 267. Oral cumulation orders entered pursuant to article 42.08 are void unless they are reflected in the written judgment. Dutton v.

Moreover, even assuming the City maintained a policy that resulted in individuals not being afforded initial appearances in a manner compliant with the Alabama Rules of Criminal Procedure, plaintiff concedes that all new detainees who were not released on bond would be brought to Municipal Court, held on most Thursdays. All reported cases finding liability for violation of the substantive due process right to which plaintiff points have involved significantly longer periods of detention without an initial appearance. E.g., Hayes, 388 F.3d at 674-75 (); Armstrong, 152 F.3d at 577-79 (fifty-seven ### Response: holding thirtyeight day preappearance detention violated due process " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the sales-tax exemption in § 40-23-4(a)(ll) facially discriminated against interstate commerce, and was thus “‘“virtually per se invalid,” ’ ” and that a genuine issue of material fact existed as to “the Department’s justification for any discriminatory treatment in assessing sales taxes.” Hoover, Inc. v. State Dep’t of Revenue, 833 So.2d at 35, 36 (quoting Fulton Corp. v. Faulkner, 516 U.S. 325, 331, 116 S.Ct. 848, 133 L.Ed.2d 796 (1996)). The supreme court specifically stated that the Department had “completely ignore[d]” the United States Supreme Court cases relied on by Hoover for the proposition that the tax-exemption statute discriminated against interstate commerce and had, instead, relied on State v.

The letter went on to describe possible consequences of litigation and suggested that the client obtain legal assistance. Id. The court held, however, that the letters’ references to legal action were not threats to pursue it; the letters merely communicated that litigation was one possible course of action. “Far from threatening legal action, the statement ... indicates that legal action is an option available to the creditor, who may indeed choose to take advantage of it.” Id. at *7; see Knowles v. Credit Bureau of Rochester, No. 91-CV-14S, 1992 WL 131107, at **1-2 (W.D.N.Y. May 28, 1992) (). After reviewing the applicable precedent, ### Response: holding that the statement failure to pay will leave our client with no choice but to consider legal action did not violate 1692e5 by threatening legal action because at most the language threatened that the creditor will have to consider legal action and therefore no action of any kind is threatened by defendant collection agency " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Vakilian v.

The acts that allegedly “deprived the plaintiff of equal protection must be the result of class-based discrimination.” Id. (citing Newell v. Brown, 981 F.2d 880, 886 (6th Cir.1992)). A plaintiff fails to state an adequate claim if his allegations are premised upon mere conclusions and opinions. Morgan v. Church’s Fried Chicken, 829 F.2d 10, 12 (6th Cir.1987). A plaintiff must make sufficient factual allegations to link two alleged conspirators in the conspiracy and to establish the requisite “meeting of the minds” essential to the existence of the conspiracy.

Finally, Mendez clearly rejects ASARCO’s argument that $9 in punitive damages should be the constitutional limit on an award of $1 in nominal damages, instead recognizing that a higher ratio may be warranted by the need to deter future misconduct. See id. (noting that the district court held that such a small award would not be “sufficient to deter other [defendants] from engaging in similar conduct in the future,” and agreeing that the second Gore guidepost may have reduced relevance in § 1983 suits involving only nominal damages, and expressly rejecting the defendants’ contention that $18 in punitive damages was the constitutional maximum on the award of $1 in nominal damages on two claims); and compare Murray, 55 F.3d at 1453 (); Bains, 405 F.3d at 775 (post-BMW case ### Response: holding prebmw that deterrence is relevant to the determination of constitutionally permissible punitive damages " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: decision included an unfavorable opinion in the form of the opinion of the Medical Doctor on the November 1983 Board panel.” R. at 8. The Board explained that “[t]he November 1983 Board panel was free to use its own medical judgment in deciding the claim, and whether the articulation of its reasons or bases for applying that judgment may not meet present standards, it is not a basis for a CUE finding in the November 1983 Board decision.” R. at 9. Although the Secretary now argues that the Board correctly found that the November 1983 Board decision “constituted a medical opinion” that weighed against the appellant’s claim, Secretary’s Br. at 10, the Court does not agree.

The Court concluded that Section 502 of ERISA possessed “that extraordinary pre-emptive power” because “the language of the jurisdiction subsection of ERISA’s civil enforcement pro visions closely parallelled] that of § 301 of the LMRA.” Id. at 65, 107 S.Ct. at 1547, 95 L.Ed.2d at 64.

The McCaslin court noted that “[a] juror’s disavowal of influence derived from misconduct is not a proper inquiry.” Id. at 920. Instead, the court explained, the presence or absence of injury “must be drawn from overt acts such as conversations and physical actions, i.e., what was said and done.” Id. The Losiers argue that the jurors undoubtedly knew the paralegal, Monica Lee, worked for the defendants’ attorneys because she was introduced in voir dire, and therefore the juror, Robert Mulvey, was aware of her relationship to the defendants.

Such a clause would be enforceable under the Federal Arbitration Act but not under Georgia common law. Id. At the time Booth and Hume executed their employment agreement, the Georgia courts took the position that the Federal Arbitration Act preempted the state’s substantive arbitration law, at least where state law would render the arbitration agreement void.

It would be a distortion of the IRS’s position to read that one sentence in a footnote in its summary judgment memorandum to constitute a knowing and intelligent relinquishment of its right to raise the defenses of offset and equitable recoupment at some point later in the litigation, when the dividend income might become an issue. The government did raise the defenses, by seeking to amend its answer, when those defenses became an issue in the case after it lost on appeal. Cf. Buder v. United States, 7 F.3d 1382, 1386 (8th Cir.1993) ().

Even if the Minnesota courts were to adopt the doctrine of abatement, it is doubtful that the doctrine would be extended to cases involving termination of parental rights.

We agree.. The Supreme Court’s acceptance of Thompson’s motion as timely is “an important indication” that the motion was “properly filed.” Jenkins, 705 F.3d at 87; see also Fernandez v.

There is sufficient evidence in the record to implicate the father as the perpetrator of the abuse but not the mother. Detective LaRochelle, the lead detective investigating the allegations of child abuse, testified that he believed the father inflicted the injuries to the child, and also stated that the mother was not a suspect. After hearing from the parties and witnesses, the court concluded that the baby suffered egregious abuse and terminated the parental rights of both the father and mother. After a thorough examination of the record, we find that record is devoid of the clear and convincing evidence necessary under statute to terminate the mother’s parental rights. See R.P. v. Dep’t of Children & Family Servs., 975 So.2d 435, 436 (Fla. 2d DCA 2007) (); T.V. v.

Thus, the risk must be cognizable, but the consequences of that risk need not yet have materialized, in order to define the time to begin to determine whether the defendant disregarded the risk.

Such a transmission constitutes an attempt to defraud the cellular carrier, and intent to defraud is an element, along with the involvement of an “access device,” of any violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1029. We see no reason why the construction and sale of “tumbling” phones should not fall within the proscriptions of § 1029. C. “Free Riding” The defendant nevertheless attempts to analogize his devices to those in McNutt by claiming that he is merely “piggybacking” onto an an existing system and getting a “free ride” without actually imposing any costs on anyone.

Since the first three counts of the complaint assert a right to recover jointly, justice is served by construing Rule 3 and Rule 20 as allowing the $185.00 filing fee to commence the wrongful death action. As to count four of plaintiffs’ complaint, the undisputed facts require allowance of the defendant’s summary judgment motion. Count four pleads a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress, a claim separate and distinct from the G.L.c. 161A, §21 wrongful death claims set fourth in the first three counts, Cimino v.

Jewell, 2012 Ark. 267. The cases where we found substantial compliance dealt with ancillary procedural requirements such as the financial-arrangement language and the ordering of the trial transcript. See, e.g., Helton v.

The critical feature of both forms of loans, whether oral or written, is the provision for repayment upon demand. When that provision is the same in both instances, we see no reason to have one rule that says a demand must first be made and rejected in the one instance, but not in the other. Cf. Schreiber v.

Absent the exertion of physical or psychological force or any particular and peculiar susceptibility to inducement on the part of McLeod, the officer’s stating that he would make McLeod’s cooperation known to the district (1st Cir.1985) ### Response: holding that an officers promise to bring defendants cooperation to the attention of the prosecutor did not make confession involuntary " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: purpose of receiving claims from an employee covered by a group insurance policy. Our research has not disclosed any Montana case that resolves this question. Perhaps the closest case is Nautilus Ins. Co. v. First Nat’l Ins. Inc., 254 Mont. 296, 837 P.2d 409 (1992), in which your Court stated that an “insurance broker is usually regarded as the agent of the insured” and that “the determination of which party a broker is acting for as to a particular matter depends on which party requested him to do the particular thing.” Id. at 411-12. There is case law from some jurisdictions which supports the position that an employer acts as an agent for an insurance company that has issued a group policy covering employees. See Norby v.

The New York courts, like courts in other jurisdictions, have seldom used the explicit “proof of injury” language in cases under the UFCA. Perhaps, as Kreditt-Finans has pointed out, this is because creditors ordinarily do not seek to invalidate transactions that cause them no injury and accordingly the question arises only infrequently. However, at least one New York appellate court has held that under the UFCA “creditors have causes of action only to the extent to which they have been damaged.” Buckley Petroleum Products, Inc. v. Goldman, 28 A.D.2d 640, 641, 280 N.Y.S.2d 876, 878 (1967). See Suffolk & Nassau Amusement Co. v. Ambrose, 145 N.Y.S.2d 424 (N.Y.Sup.Ct.1955) ().

A threat is defined as a “communicated intent to inflict harm or loss on another or on another’s property, especially] one that might diminish a person’s freedom to act voluntarily or with lawful consent[J” Black’s Law Dictionary 1519 (8th ed.2004). At no point did petitioner’s statements to Sprague rise to the level of threats. Further, we respectfully disagree that petitioner was “unduly coercive.” To coerce implies the use of force or threats and we are not satisfied that petitioner’s conduct rose to the level of coercion. The petitioner was not rude or abusive or arrogant or aggressive, nor did his conduct exceed the bounds of judicial propriety. See, e.g., In re O’Brien, 650 A.2d 134 (R.I.1994) (). We are mindful that we are confronted with a ### Response: holding that multiple instances of arrogant and abusive conduct warranted a public censure " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: while we have held that “temporary swelling and irritation” constitute only de minimis injury under Norman, see Taylor v. McDuffie, 155 F.3d 479, 484 (4th Cir.1998), overruled in part by Wilkins, 559 U.S. 34, 130 S.Ct. 1175 (2010), we have also recognized that to satisfy Norman an inmate “néed not show that ... force caused an ‘extreme deprivation’ or ‘serious’ or ‘significant’ pain or injury.” Williams v. Benjamin, 77 F.3d 756, 761 (4th Cir.1996) (quoting Hudson v. McMillian, 503 U.S. 1, 9, 112 S.Ct. 995, 117 L.Ed.2d 156 (1992)). Moreover, on numerous occasions, applying the Norman standard, we have concluded that injuries comparable to — and arguably less severe than — those Ussery maintains he suffered were not de minimis. See, e.g., Orem v. Rephann, 523 F.3d 442, 448 (4th Cir.2008) (); Young v.

The Ninth Circuit, for example, has indicated that both sections 113(g)(2) and 107(a) “envision that, before suing, CERCLA plaintiffs will spend some money responding to an environmental hazard.” In re Dant & Russell, 951 F.2d at 249. Then, and only then can CERCLA plaintiffs “go to court and obtain ... a declaration that the responsible party will have continuing liability for the cost of finishing the job.” Id. at 249-50. “By requiring a plaintiff to take some positive action before coming to court,” the Ninth Circuit explains, “CERCLA ensures that the dispute will be ripe for judicial review.” Id. at 250 ().

In addition, our court previously considered N.D.C.C. § 28-27-02(5), the very subsection cited by the Board, explicitly concluding the denial of a motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction does not involve the merits of a claim. Schaff v. Kennelly, 69 N.W.2d 777, 779-80 (N.D.1955). Rather the denial of a motion to dismiss, like the denial of a motion for summary judgment, is “merely interlocutory and, leaving the case pending for trial, it decides nothing, except that the parties may proceed with the case.” Rude v. Letnes, 154 N.W. 2d 380, 381(N.D.1967). See also Imperial Oil of North Dakota v. Hanson, 510 N.W.2d 598, 601 (N.D.1994) (noting “[e]ven a jurisdictional reason does not normally warrant an intermediate appeal”); Newman v. Hjelle, 133 N.W.2d 549, 554 (N.D.1965) (); Beresina Sch.

It was probably signed under oath.” JA 295. All of this is consistent with Pilette’s testimony that her notes from the meeting with Coddington and the Motion for Guidance indicate that Coddington chose only to appeal the resentencing issue. Having made that decision with respect to the initial appeal, it is difficult to see what benefit a further waiver could provide. Coddington had already waived the right to appeal the voluntariness issue, and his success on the resentencing issue would not have allowed him suddenly to insert the voluntariness issue into the appeal after the successful-and fully concluded-remand. See People v. Kaczorowski, 190 Mich.App. 165, 475 N.W.2d 861, 864-65 (Mich.1991) (). D.

See Bennett, 368 F.3d at 1351. Simply put, Overton has not met his burden to show that there is “a reasonable probability ... that, but for the remarks,” the outcome of his trial would be different, and thus, he has not shown prejudice to his substantial rights. See Hall, 47 F.3d at 1098. Accordingly, we affirm. AFFIRMED. 1 . We deny Overton’s motion to file a supplemental brief to argue, for the first time, that Blakely v. Washington, 542 U.S. 296, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), applies to his case. It is well-established that we will not consider such arguments when they are not raised in the initial brief. See United States v. Duncan, 400 F.3d 1297, 1299 n. 1 (11th Cir.2005) (citing United States v. Levy, 379 F.3d 1241 (11th Cir.2004) (); United States v.

Thus, under the terms of Bruhn’s contract with PCC, she was an employee of PCC even though she was assigned to work with the affiliate, A Beka Books. The only support cited by the trial court regarding its ruling that A Beka Books was Bruhn’s “actual” employer was a W-2 statement of Bruhn’s 2005 wages earned at A Beka Books, and the court’s determination that A Beka Books “is a separate legal entity from Pensacola Christian College and possesses a separate FIN/EIN number than does Pensacola Christian College.” However, the record on appeal does not support either finding. Moreover, a W-2 form is not conclusive evidence of an employment relationship. See Verchick v. Hecht Invs., Ltd., 924 So.2d 944, 945-46 (Fla. 3d DCA 2006) ().

The Supreme Court in Freedman outlined three procedural safeguards that a prior restraint on protected expression must contain to obviate the dangers of censorship: (1) the burden of going to court to suppress the speech, and the burden of proof once in court, must rest with the government; (2) any restraint prior to a judicial determination may only be for a specified brief time period in order to preserve the status quo; and (3) an avenue for prompt judicial review of the censor’s decision must be available. Freedman, 380 U.S. at 58-59, 85 S.Ct. at 739. At least some of the Freedman requirements apply to content-neutral regulations such as section 2.51. See FW/PBS, 493 U.S. at 226-29, 110 S.Ct. at 605-06 (O’Connor, J., plurality opinion) (); see also id. at 238-39, 110 S.Ct. at 611 ### Response: holding contentneutral licensing scheme was an unconstitutional prior restraint because it violated the second freedman safeguard adequate limits on the time that the decisionmaker has to issue the license " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: N.W.2d 41 (Minn.2008). Carlson—decided nearly seven years after Holmstrom v. III. Farmers Ins.

The supreme court therefore concluded that “subdivision 3a(5) constitutes a system of priorities and as such governs the source, not the scope, of coverage.” Id. at 47 n. 4. Because the policy in this case provides coverage when an insured is injured by an underinsured motor vehicle and specifically excludes vehicles that are provided liability coverage under the policy from the definition of an underinsured motor vehicle, I would conclude that Minn. Stat. § 65B.49, subd. 3a(5), does not entitle Pepper to UIM benefits. See id. at 47 ().

The Supreme Court concluded that “[t]he nonhearsay aspect of [the co-conspirator’s] confession — not to prove what happened at the murder scene but to prove what happened when [the defendant] confessed — raisefd] no Confrontation Clause concerns.” Id. at 414, 105 S.Ct. 2078 (emphasis in original). Instead, the concern was that the jury might use the co-conspirator’s statement in a manner inconsistent with the Confrontation Clause, i.e., to infer Street’s guilt even though Street had had no opportunity to cross-examine the witness.

To the extent that this is true, that decision is reviewed de novo. Walker, 136 Wn.2d at 771-72. Regardless of the standard applied, however, the trial court erred in concluding that the evidence did not support an inference that the shooting occurred without premeditation. 6 Br. of Resp’t at 14-15; Suppl.

Pursuant to an Alabama statute, an individual convicted of a capital offense must be sentenced to death or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. See Ala.Code § 13A-5-39(l) (defining “capital offense” as “[a]n offense for which a[ ] defendant shall be punished by a sentence of death or life imprisonment without parole according to the provisions of this article”); id. § 13A-5-40(a) (listing and defining Alabama’s capital offenses). Because the sentence of death is no longer constitutionally valid, the only sentencing alternative is life without parole. See Adams v.

Although we have not yet confronted this question in a Copyright Act case, Trident and Champion make clear that in this context as well, because the district court determined that attorney’s fees were not “properly awardable” to Veoh under § 505, they were not award-able under Rule 68 either. B. Even though Veoh is not entitled to attorney’s fees under Rule 68, it may be entitled to its other costs. See, e.g., Champion, 342 F.3d at 1028 ().

As discussed below, the one-year notice provision only applies to an owner's decision to terminate or not renew a project-based assistance program, and not a tenant-based assistance program like that at issue here. 5 . Under the circumstances, it would not have made any sense for Defendant to have included the other required language pertaining to the availability of ""tenant-based rental assistance” in his non-renewal notice, since Plaintiffs had already been put on notice of such by the previous owner and had been receiving such assistance since 2009.

Zheng argues that the BIA engaged in “reverse speculation” in this regard by assuming that he might join a church that might not be subject to persecution, but that argument stands his burden of proof on its head. Zheng bore the burden to prove that he faces a reasonable possibility of persecution if returned to China. As explained above, he has provided no basis to disturb the BIA’s conclusion that he failed to do so. Zheng also argues that the record shows a pattern or practice of persecution of unauthorized Christian churches in China. Zheng does not cite any authority finding such a pattern or practice on the basis of a similar record. Cf. Xue Zhen Chen v. Gonzales, 470 F.3d 1131, 1136-38 (5th Cir.2006) ().

First, JMI viewed Spees as being unable to weld in any capacity, thereby precluding her from employing the skills that she had acquired during the one-month training program for welding. The tool-room position, unlike a welding position, did not require any special training, meaning that Spees was effectively removed to an unskilled position and precluded from utilizing any of the welding training that she had received. JMI’s belief that Spees could not perform any type of welding work thus weighs in favor of concluding that she was precluded from working in a class of jobs. Cf Dutcher v.

There, we adopted the Eleventh Circuit’s credit-as-true rule, holding that the Commissioner must accept, as a matter of law, a claimant’s subjective pain testimony if the ALJ fails to articulate sufficient reasons for refusing to credit it. Id. However, the holding in Varney II was specifically limited to cases “where there are no outstanding issues that must be resolved before a proper disability determination can be made, and where it is clear from the administrative record that the ALJ would be required to award benefits if the claimant’s excess pain testimony were credited.” Id. at 1401. Since Varney II, a split in authority has developed over whether the rule is mandatory or discretionary in’this Circuit. Compare, e.g., Lester v.

Mr. Klipstine had ample opportunity at the hearing to establish the ground of good standing in the state bar, but he is legally unable to do so. Therefore, the Court will deny his petition for readmission without prejudice to its refiling if, and when, Mr. Klipstine has successfully fulfilled his two-year period of probation and has been formally reinstated as a member in good standing in the New Mexico State Bar.

It offers specific information about the golf-trip benefit provided to four additional doctors in 2008. Mastej’s complaint identifies the names of all ten doctors who allegedly referred patients after having received these financial benefits from the Defendants. Mastej’s allegations regarding the financial incentives, which he claims violated the Stark and Anti-kickback statutes, meet Rule 9(b)’s required level of specificity.

The Federal Circuit has explained that the Court of Federal Claims “does not have general equity jurisdiction to grant injunctive relief.” Shemonsky v. United States, 215 F.3d 1340 (Fed.Cir.1999) (upholding decision of the Court of Federal Claims that the court’s jurisdiction did not extend to injunctive or declaratory relief); see also Martinez v.

A. The Constitution and the Statute of Limitations Plaintiffs’ first argument for avoiding the impact of the six-year statute on their cause of action is that their claim is constitutionally based, and therefore it is unconstitutional to deprive them of their constitutional right, short of a full and fair decision on the merits. Since the right to compensation for a governmental taking of private property is constitutionally protected, the argument is stunning in its potential — it would have the effect of leaving all takings claims against the United States without a termination, except by ultimate resolution in the courts.

This argument is without merit. Even with this evidence, the state investigators had told the FBI agents that the state lacked sufficient evidence to arrest Harvey. 9 . Both parties agree that the requirements of the federal Act apply to determine whether authorization for disclosure of the contents of the state wiretap was necessary and sufficient.

In Underwood, we expressly overruled Marxsen to the extent it required a Rule 80B(d) motion in order for evidence to be presented in a Freedom of Access case. We did so because 1 M.R.S.A. § 409(2) (1989) provides a claimant a trial de novo in the Superior Court. See Underwood, 1998 ME 166, ¶ 22, 715 A.2d at 155; see also Service & Erection Co. v.

In addition, a corollary effect of the district court’s order dismissing Red Cross from the suit was to dismiss Osteopathic’s cross-claim against Red Cross as well. Clearly, if the district court had a basis of independent subject matter jurisdiction over Osteopathic’s cross-claim against Red Cross, the district court could not have dismissed Red Cross, nor could it have declined to exercise jurisdiction over the case, merely because Carr opted not to pursue his claim against Red Cross.

Although Wyche contends, without supporting authority, that the “under oath” requirement cannot be established by circumstantial evidence, we disagree. First, as Wyche concedes, the other elements of the crime of perjury may be proved using circumstantial evidence. See Appellant’s Br. at 14. Second, as indicated by our standard of review, the elements of a crime ordinarily can be proved by direct or circumstantial evidence. See Voss, 82 F.3d at 1524-25. Case law on the issue establishes that “perjury cases, like all criminal cases, are susceptible to proof by circumstantial evidence.” United States v. Chapin, 515 F.2d 1274, 1280 (D.C.Cir.1975); see also United States v. Serafini, 233 F.3d 758, 770 (3d Cir.2000) ().

Again based on the limited record before us, Wilford’s Sixth Amendment claim may not have merit. Even though Wilford’s Sixth Amendment right to counsel had attached to other charges, adversary judicial criminal proceedings may not have been initiated in regard to the charges of this case at the time he was interrogated by law enforcement.

In total, Coe’s counsel spent approximately 100 hours more on the second appeal than they did on the first, despite having already completed the majority of the work during the first appeal. The only difference between the first and second appeal was Coe’s argument opposing this Court’s fifty-percent reduction on the attorneys’ fees award for the trial and first appeal. This Court rules that the attorneys’ fees sought by Coe for the second appeal relating to the same facts and issues presented in the first appeal are unreasonably redundant and unnecessary. See Grant v. Martinez, 973 F.2d 96, 99 (2d Cir.1992) (considering “whether, at the time the work 7) ().

The court then examined the CBAs and the ERISA plan documents involved in the case in light of that standard. The court noted that each CBA provided for medical benefits “[d]uring the term of this Agreement,” and explained that “promising to provide benefits for a certain period of time necessarily establishes that once that time period expires, the promise does as well.” International Multifoods, 116 F.3d at 981 (citing LTV Steel Co. v.

This notice issue obviously would involve factual analyses of whether Defendant was the principal professional in the professional corporation “G.P. McRostie, D.O.M., N.D., P.A.,” and whether, based on Defendant’s position in Corporation, Corporation had received such notice of the institution of the Bernalillo County action that Corporation would not be prejudiced in maintaining its defense on the merits.

The court’s opinion expresses concern that DNR “singled out” the Jerrels and implies that DNR varied “the requirements of its regulations at a whim.” First, DNR did not single out the Jerrels. Their actions prompted individualized attention. DNR had authority to interpret its regulation as it did, and a duty to rein in the Jerrels’ animals. The record strongly suggests that DNR worked in good faith, dealing patiently with both the Jerrels and their neighbors. Second, unless DNR had absolutely no authority to interpret its regulation on a lease-by-lease basis, it seems inconsistent to reason that a requirement specific to the Jerrels could somehow be a regulation of general application.

Id. § 23-48-1001(a). These statutes, which contain express state certification requirements, demonstrate the General Assembly is capable of articulating a certification requirement when it desires one. Yet the SFA contains none. Arkansas courts presume the General Assembly has in mind previous statutes relating to the same subject matter when it enacts a new statute. See Cousins v. Dennis, 298 Ark. 310, 767 S.W.2d 296, 298 (1989). And when the General Assembly has demonstrated the ability to include qualifying statutory language in a statute, but chooses not to do so in a particular statute, Arkansas courts infer the omission was deliberate and evidences a different legislative intent.

The question of whether Mazique’s girlfriend consented to the search of the home was an issue for the court, not the jury. Thus, although the comment was improper, we find it was not prejudicial to Mazique. Also, the value of the stolen cigarettes was not an element of the crime or vital to the evidence in the case; thus, the comment was not prejudicial to Mazique. We further find the solicitor’s brief comments do not rise to “extraordinary circumstances” that would excuse the failure to make a contemporaneous objection. See Toyota of Florence, Inc. v.

Both of them then sought refuge in Defendant’s truck. As the alleged attack continued, Defendant testified that he started the vehicle and began to drive “slowly” out of the parking lot. Almost immediately, police arrived on the scene, determined Defendant’s blood-alcohol level to be .14, and arrested him for DWI. {3} The metropolitan court, acting as fact finder in a non-jury trial, found that Defendant had not acted reasonably in the face of the alleged threat.

In making such a showing, the Court found it insufficient for the plaintiff to merely “point out” that the award of benefits would come from the plan administrator’s own pocket. See id. The Court, however, did not specify what kind of showing would satisfy the “improper motivation” standard. Just seven months after deciding Doyle, the First Circuit held that a plan administrator-insurer that would be responsible for paying benefits due under an ERISA-governed policy does operate under a conflict of interest, justifying application of the “reasonableness” standard of review. See Doe v. Travelers Ins. Co., 167 F.3d 53, 57 (1st Cir.1999); see also Pitman v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma, 217 F.3d 1291, 1296 (10th Cir.2000) ().

Furthermore, our legislature has dictated that a person “is arrested” (past tense) “when ... actually placed under restraint or taken into custody” by an officer or another with or without a warrant. Tex. Code Crim.Proc.Ann. art. 15.22 (Vernon 1977); White v. State, 601 S.W.2d at 365. From this, we may conclude that the officer is no longer “effecting an arrest” once his efforts to actually restrain or control the individual are complete. Schrader v. State, supra; see Young v.

These convey- anees need not be intentionally harmful to creditors; it is the effect of the transfers alone, and not their purpose, that renders them constructively fraudulent. The concept of fair consideration merits brief elaboration. Generally, a transfer of assets is made for fair consideration if the transferor receives (or has received) “fair equivalent” value in return. DCL § 272. Thus, in most cases, the repayment of an antecedent debt is made for fair consideration. See HBE Leasing Corp. v.

More specifically, Kentucky courts have consistently held that police officers only owe a duty of care to specific individuals if there -is a “special relationship” between the officer and individual. City of Florence v. Chipman, 38 S.W.3d 387, 392 (Ky.2001); Ashby v. City of Louisville, 841 S.W.2d.184 (Ky.App.1992). However, Kentucky has yet to address the specific question presented here — whether a police officer owes a suspect the duty to investigate allegations of criminal activity with reasonable care. Although Kentucky law is seemingly silent on the specific issue presented herein, other jurisdictions have uniformly refused to recognize a tort of negligent investigation. See Turner v.

The issue raised by Oceana in challenging the Omnibus Amendment is different from the jurisdictional issues raised in the D.C. Circuit cases. Oceana argues that, because NMFS did not consider whether to include non-target bycatch stocks “in the fishery,” the Omnibus Amendment is arbitrary and capricious because the ACLs it does set for the already-managed stocks could result in overfishing of the unregulated bycatch stocks. See Pl.’s Mot. Summ. J. 18; see also Motor Vehicle Mfrs. Ass’n of the U.S., Inc. v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 463 U.S. 29, 43, 103 S.Ct. 2856, 77 L.Ed.2d 443 (1983) ().

Under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 196.3(c), “the responding party must either produce documents and tangible things as they are kept in the usual course of business or organize and label them to correspond with the categories in the request.” Tex.R.

That much, at least, is reasonably necessary. Thus, if the agency is likely to rely on the disputed information in making a determination about the subject individual and if the information is likely to be injurious to the individual if relied upon by the agency in making this determination, then the statutory standard demands that the agency, faced with an amendment request, determine that the information is accurate. The burden is on the individual to establish the inaccuracy of the challenged record. See OMB Guidlines at 38, Source Book at 1051 (advising agencies to place the burden of going forward in an amendment request on the individual); Mervin v. F.T.C., 591 F.2d 821, 827 (D.C.Cir.1978) ().

Dr. Bingham prepared a second EMG report on May 9, 2008, upon referral from Dr. Michael Caifee. Dr. Bingham noted his plan to refer Appellant back to Dr. Caifee. Finally, Dr. Valdivia prepared a third EMG report on October 23, 2009, upon referral from Dr. Stewart. There is no indication that the doctors saw Appellant on any other occasion. The records thus show that Dr. Tucker saw Appellant with much greater frequency and regularity than Drs. Bingham and Valdivia. It is unclear whether the ALJ recognized this difference and, if so, why she concluded that the opinions of all three doctors were entitled to equal weight. This ambiguity hinders meaningful review of the ALJ’s decision. See Blakley, 581 F.3d at 409 (). Even if the ALJ considered Drs.

The trial court held that the motion was without merit and denied relief. Barnes lodged an appeal from the order in this court. Now before us are Barnes’s motions for extension of time to file the appellant’s brief, for appointment of counsel, and for a copy of the transcript lodged in this appeal. We dismiss the appeal because it is evident from the record that Barnes could not succeed on appeal. This court will not permit an appeal from an order that denied a petition for postconviction relief to go forward where it is clear that the appellant could not prevail. Justus v.

Admittedly, defendant was never “confronted,” in the literal sense of the word, with the jacket, i.e., he was never directly told a witness to the murder had identified the perpetrator as wearing the same exact jacket. Nevertheless, the illegal seizure of defendant’s jacket occurred as he was being led into an interrogation room in which he would momentarily admit to shooting Merriwether, according to the testimony of the detectives. Moreover, the fact that defendant was observed wearing the jacket inside out suggests he was aware of the potentially incriminating nature of the jacket. Cf.

A motion that does not comply with the time and numerical limitations can only be brought where the alien can establish one of four limited exceptions. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7) (2005); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3) (2005). One such exception, the only one alleged to be applicable here, is where the alien can establish “changed circumstances arising in the country of nationality....” 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii) (2005); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(e)(3)(ii) (2005). This Court has already held that a change in an individual’s personal circumstances does not qualify under the above exception; an individual must demonstrate that the country conditions have changed in order for this exception to apply.

On September 25, 2003, another panel of this court denied the petition for writ of mandamus filed by Evans and the Bexar County Center, finding that Evans and the Bexar County Center had an adequate remedy by means of their appeal. Evans later filed a petition for writ of mandamus asking this court to direct the trial court to vacate the contempt judgment against him. Before oral argument, this court consolidated this second mandamus proceeding with the appeal by Evans and the Bexar County Center. II.

Stull insists that it upheld its end of the bargain — it paid benefits through November 30. Although Marie did not receive severance pay, an issue discussed more fully below, Stull asserts that Marie was not contractually entitled to it because she did not fulfill the condition precedent of working through November 6. Berthony responds that the SSP’s waiver does not protect Stull, for each of Berthony’s claims arose subsequent to Marie’s acceptance of the waiver, which occurred on October 11, 1998. He submits that our precedents refuse to recognize waivers of claims arising in the future. See Three Rivers Motors Co. v. Ford Motor Co., 522 F.2d 885, 896 n. 27 (3d Cir.1975) ().

I note, however, that Mueller signed pleadings in the underlying state-court action on behalf of the Law Office of James Nabholz, III. 3 . American Family’s argument that the complaint does not state a claim against Mueller because it includes allegations of ethical violations is meritless. See Chrysler Corp. v.

Whether the biological and intended adoptive fathers have liability issues between themselves pursuant to an agreement is an issue we need not, and do not, address in this opinion. {35} We do note that, in some intended adoptive parent cases, a biological parent responsible for child support may be deceased, missing, unreachable, unknown, or indigent, and a court may be asked to look to the intended adoptive parent for child support. See, e.g., Geramifar, 688 A.2d at 476 (indicating that natural parents were Iranian); Wener, 312 N.Y.S.2d at 817-18 ().

For various reasons, all the Louisiana companies were deemed insulated from liability to the plaintiff. After the case was removed to federal court, the plaintiff filed a motion to remand arguing, among other things, that not all defendants had consented to the removal. The court held such consent to be unnecessary, and said: [A]s a general rule, removal requires consent of all co-defendants. In cases involving alleged improper or fraudulent joinder of parties, however, application of this requirement to improperly or fraudulently joined parties would be nonsensical, as removal in those cases is based on the contention that no other proper defendant exists.

Univ. of Oregon, 698 F.3d 715, 724 (9th Cir.2012). Title IX’s prohibition of discrimination “on the basis of sex” encompasses both sex — in the biological sense — as well as gender. Schwenk v. Hartford, 204 F.3d 1187, 1202 (9th Cir.2000). Furthermore, discrimination based on gender stereotypes constitutes discrimination on the basis of séx under Title VII. Price Waterhouse v.

See United States v. Ramirez-Ferrer, 82 F.3d 1131, 1144 (1st Cir.1996) (en banc). We disagree. For the purposes of determining whether a claim was unavailable under § 2241, we look to whether controlling law in this circuit foreclosed petitioner’s argument.

The intimate human relations type of association is exemplified by familial relations, including marriage, raising and educating children and cohabiting with one’s relatives. Roberts, 468 U.S. at 619, 104 S.Ct. at 3250. While this type of association can extend to other types of relationships, depending on the size, purpose, policies, selectivity, congeniality and other characteristics of the “association” involved, plaintiff cites no case and this Court has not found one which would extend this type of association to the workplace. See, e.g., Copp v. Unified Sch. Dist. No. 501, 882 F.2d 1547, 1551 (10th Cir.1989) ().

CONCLUSION The lower court did not err in refusing to grant a restraining order regarding the use of the Shapemasters’ name and logo. Further, the appointment of a custodian is interlocutory in nature and does not fall into a delineated exception. As such, the trial court’s (1991) (ruling issue was not preserved for appellate review where the trial court did not explicitly rule on the appellant's argument and the appellant made no Rule 59(e) motion to alter or amend the judgment). 4 .

While the court finds each of these alternatives deficient when employed alone, in combination, these alternatives are promising. Thus, the court will require the Esso Defendants and their former counsel to fund a community service project which will benefit the St. Thomas community — the party perhaps most aggrieved by their sanctionable conduct. 1. The Imposition of a Fine Pursuant to its inherent powers, this court has the power to sanction the Esso Defendants and their former counsel by requiring them to pay a monetary fine.

D.C. Bd. of Elections and Ethics, 236 F.3d 716, 719 (D.C.Cir.2001) (citation and quotation marks omitted). The Regulations plainly do not discriminate on the basis of viewpoint, but rather prohibit disruptive speech regardless of its message. Oberwetter argues that the government engages in viewpoint discrimination by hosting its own official birthday ceremony in the Memorial while excluding her celebratory dance. This argument fails because the government is free to establish venues for the exclusive expression of its own viewpoint. See Pleasant Grove v.

Given the totality of the circumstances, the court is not persuaded by the Government’s arguments. The court will address these factors cited by the Government in turn. 1. The Area’s Reputation for Narcotics Activity and the Late Hour First, the court concludes that the area’s reputation for narcotics activity and the late hour of the evening are not objective factors that contribute to reason able suspicion within the context of this stop.

As a result, the question of individualized suspicion was not fully developed before the district court, nor was Child given a full and fair opportunity to respond to the effect his prior misconduct might have on the individualized suspicion inquiry.

The settlement negotiations were unsuccessful, and on August 29, 2017, the Court reserved decision. The Applicable Legal Standards The Summary Judgment Standard Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(c), made applicable to this adversary proceeding by Bankruptcy Rule 7056, provides that summary judgment is appropriate “if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispu that there is no genuine dispute as to a material fact as to each element of its claim. If it does not, then summary judgment will be denied. See Smith v. Goord, 2008 WL 902184, at *4 (N.D.N.Y. Mar. 31, 2008), aff'd, 375 Fed.Appx. 73 (2d Cir. 2010) (citing Anderson, 477 U.S. at 250 n.4, 106 S.Ct. 2505) ()).

Although we appreciate the fact that the legal standard for admitting reverse 404(b) evidence is relatively lenient, the evidence must still be relevant. Here, it was not. Even if the evidence involving the New Baden robbery should have been admitted, its exclusion was harmless in light of the overwhelming evidence presented by the government at trial. We employ the harmless error standard because the defendants preserved their objection on this issue when they challenged the government’s motion in limine. See Fed. R. Evid. 103; see also Wilson v. Williams, 182 F.3d 562, 563 (7th Cir.1999) (en banc) ().

Defendants attack this claim on numerous fronts. They argue that no such right exists under Michigan law and that the claim is preempted by the First Amendment and by the Copyright Act. The Court will address each argument separately. 1. Right of Publicity Under Michigan Law Plaintiffs’ right of publicity claim is governed by state law. Parks v. LaFace Records, 329 F.3d 437, 459 (6th Cir.2003). Michigan has recognized a general right to publicity. See, e.g., Carson v. Here’s Johnny Portable Toilets, Inc., 698 F.2d 831, 834 (6th Cir.1983) (suggesting that Michigan courts would adopt the right of publicity and noting that Michigan has recognized a right of privacy); Tobin v. Mich. Civil Serv. Comm’n, 416 Mich. 661, 331 N.W.2d 184, 189 (1982) (). Michigan never has recognized, however, a ### Response: recognizing protection against appropriation for the defendants advantage of the plaintiffs name or likeness " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and of his participation in administrative investigations. See id.; Cohen, 686 F.2d at 796 (stating that an employer’s awareness is essential to showing a causal link). Proximity in time is apparent on the record: the transfers of job duties and the sub-average performance rating all occurred during the pendency of the administrative complaints and investigations. This inference of a causal link is strengthened by the closeness in time between particular events. See B. Schlei & P. Grossman, supra, at 559 & n. 145 (2d ed. 1983). The first series of transfers of job duties between August 1979 and February 1980 began less than three months after he filed his first administrative complaint. See Hochstadt v. Worcester Found, for Experimental Biology, Inc., 425 F.Supp. 318, 324-25 (D.Mass.) (), aff'd, 545 F.2d 222 (1st Cir.1976).

We do not discern an enforceable restriction on the reuse of these cameras based on the package statements. These statements are instructions and warnings of risk, not mutual promises or a condition placed upon the sale. See id. at 1447-48, 1453, 123 F.3d 1445, 43 USPQ2d at 1652-53, 1657 (refusing implicit limit on modification of cartridges designed to be non-refillable and sold with instructions warning against reuse or refilling); Kendall Co., 85 F.3d at 1576, 38 USPQ2d at 1922 ().

Disposition Of The Government’s March 8, 2002 Motion For Summary Judgment. The May 1, 1997 Contract contains a standard integration clause that provides: This award consummates the contract, which consists of (a) the Government’s solicitation and your offer, and (b) this contract award. No further contractual documents is [sic] necessary. Def.App. at 2. Therefore, as a matter of law, the terms of the contract must be construed based on the language in the governing documents, not parol evidence. See McAbee Const., Inc. v. United States, 97 F.3d 1431, 1434 (Fed.Cir. 1996) (); see also Restatement (Second) of Contracts § ### Response: holding that where there is a strong presumption that the contract was a fully integrated agreement coupled with the consistency of the evidence surrounding its execution with that presumption the agreement was fully integrated " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: earlier suicide attempt who claimed that physicians, nurses, and hospital negligently failed to prevent her jumping from second-story hospital room, and holding that issue whether plaintiffs leap from hospital room constituted superseding cause insulating defendants from liability properly . 46, 54-55, 86 A.2d 761 (1952) (affirming directed verdict for defendants and holding that even assuming school board’s negligence in failing to install guard over belt-drive mechanism of power jig saw, intervening act of classmate in throwing electric switch that started jig saw while plaintiff was cleaning it constituted superseding cause that broke chain of causation and insulated school board from liability); Glaser v. Hackensack Water Co., 49 N.J.Super. 591, 600-01, 141 A.2d 117 (App.Div.1958) (). c As noted, the doctrine of superseding cause ### Response: holding that water company whose employee entered plaintiffs garage without notice to read meter was insulated from liability by intervening act of plaintiff who became frightened for safety of infant daughter and injured herself while running down stairs to first floor to ascertain who had entered garage " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the significance and importance of the ability to poll the jury); State v. Behnke, 155 Wis.2d 796, 456 N.W.2d 610, 612 (1990). This does not mean, however, that Appellant was deprived of his Sixth Amendment right to counsel: even if Mr. Durst’s substitution for Mr. Mozenter failed to conform to the criminal procedural rules, it does not follow that a deprivation of counsel occurred, as Appellant was in fact represented by Mr. Durst when the jury returned to the courtroom and announced its verdict. Appellant does not allege that Mr. Durst was not a member in good standing of the Pennsylvania Bar, that a conflict of interest or some other defect prevented Mr. Durst from representing him, see Holloway v. Arkansas, 435 U.S. 475, 484, 98 S.Ct. 1173, 1178-79, 55 L.Ed.2d 426 (1978) (), or that Mr. Durst was otherwise hindered from ### Response: holding that the defendant was deprived of his sixth amendment right to counsel where appointed counsels representation presented a conflict of interest " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: court’s order of June 18,1998. When “the evidence as to waiver is a written instrument, its construction and interpretation may be decided as a question of law.” Id. Because a determination of the waiver issues raised by the State does not depend on facts not presented below, but rests on the interpretation of written instruments and the law, we address the State’s arguments raised for the first time on appeal as a matter of law. Defendant’s Pleas of Guilty and No Contest {13} Although Defendant may have waived objections to defects in the proceedings that occurred up to the point of the guilty and no contest pleas, including any right to a speedy trial, he did not waive his objections to subsequent defects in the proceedings. See State v. Hodge, 118 N.M. 410, 414, 882 P.2d 1, 5 (1994) (); see also Tollett v. Henderson, 411 U.S. 258, ### Response: holding voluntary plea of guilty or no contest waives objections to prior defects in the proceedings and also operates as a waiver of statutory or constitutional rights emphasis added " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: working conditions; a racial discrimination claim alleging wrongful termination based on racial animus; and a claim alleging a racially hostile work environment. (See Doc. 1). “Because the legal standards governing each of these categories of claims are the same, it is unnecessary to evaluate separately the Title VII ... and the § 1981 causes of action.” Pears v. Mobile County, 645 F.Supp.2d 1062, 1089 (S.D.Ala.2009). Title VII prohibits an employer from discriminating against a person based on race. 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-2(a)(l). Likewise, 42 U.S.C. § 1981 prohibits intentional race discrimination in the making and enforcement of public and private contracts, including employment contracts. See, e.g., Johnson v. Railway Express Agency, 421 U.S. 454, 95 S.Ct. 1716, 44 L.Ed.2d 295 (1975) (). Section 1981 liability must be founded on ### Response: holding unequivocally that 1981 protects against racial discrimination in private employment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: nonrenewal in February 2012 and then merely elaborated on this reason in his response to the EEOC. See Elam, 601 F.3d at 881 (“While ‘[substantial changes over time in the employer’s proffered reason for its employment decision support a finding of pretext, this does not mean that an employer cannot elaborate on its proffered reason.’ ” (quoting Rodgers v. U.S. Bank, N.A., 417 F.3d 845, 855 (8th Cir. 2005))). Rather, Eppard’s response to the EEOC, viewed in the light most favorable to Dunn, is a shift away from his alleged statement that Dunn’s nonrenewal was unrelated to his job performance, and the discrepancy between these two statements is substantial enough to indicate pretext and thereby avoid summary judgment. See Young v. Warner-Jenkinson Co., 152 F.3d 1018, 1023 (8th Cir.1998) (). Taken together, the affidavits from Dunn’s ### Response: holding that plaintiff raised genuine fact issue com cerning pretext by presenting evidence that his employer initially told him that he was terminated because of poor performance but later claimed the termination was due to a lack of work " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: figure by calculating the amount that MN Supply would have earned had it invested the profits it lost from 1997 to 2002 at an eighteen percent rate of return. Trial Tr. at 809-10. It appears to us that this figure therefore represents “prejudgment interest” under Minnesota law. See ZumBerge v. N. States Power Co., 481 N.W.2d 103, 110 (Minn.Ct.App.1992) (interpreting expert’s “calculation of the time value of the losses, i.e., what the ZumBerges would have accrued in interest if they would have put the loss amount in the bank each year earning 10% interest” as “prejudgment interest” such that expert’s calculation should not have been considered by the jury); Security Prot. Servs., Ltd. v. Evenson, Nos. C4-92-556, C8-92-561, C6-92-1336, 1993 WL 14338, *3 (Minn.Ct.App. Jan.26, 1993) (). We conclude that the District Court correctly ### Response: holding that experts calculation of amount which plaintiff would have earned had it invested all of the money that it sought as damages was evidence of prejudgment interest that should not have been considered by the jury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: is-not that the affidavit fails to “articulate ... the basis for [Brannan’s] belief’ or that it was merely “eonelusory.” Kelly, 21 F.3d at 1555. Rather, the court understands the Plaintiffs to be saying that Brannan intentionally falsified, or recklessly made, his affidavit so that it does, on its face, establish probable cause. Cases which have discussed the arguable probable cause standard have not been concerned with alleged lies by the affiant officer. In Lowe, for example, there was “no dispute as to the facts in the possession of [the defendant police officers] at the time of the issuance of the search warrants.” Id. at 1569. The question was whether those facts constituted arguable probable cause to pursue a warrant against the Plaintiffs. Id.; see also Swint, 51 F.3d at 996 (). Plaintiffs have not even attempted to show ### Response: holding that there was not arguable probable cause to conduct extensive searches on night club and its patrons where only evidence was of one patron selling drugs " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Ind. 249, 297 N.E.2d 425, 427 (1973). In this case the injury to Milledge's ankle is without explanation. It is thus classified as a neutral risk in that the cause of the injury is neither personal to Milledge nor distinctly associated with her employment. The injury would not have occurred but for the fact that the conditions and obligations of her employment placed Milledge in the parking lot where she was injured. In turn, The Oaks has not carried its burden of demonstrating that this unexplained accident, which precipitated the ankle injury, was the result of idiopathic causes. Milledge is thus entitled to compensation under the Indiana Worker's Compensation Act. This does not however end our analysis. Milledge sought worker's compensation not for her ankle injury alone, bu 000) (); Workmen's Comp. Appeal Bd. v.

Id. at 505. Likewise, in Donato v. Met. Life Ins.

The fact that the plan’s language does not contain an explicit grant of discretionary authority to the plan’s administrator is irrelevant. Id.; Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis v. SwedishAmerican Group Health Benefit Trust, 901 F.2d 1369, 1371 (7th Cir.1990) ().

Moreover, inmates required to comply with the exhaustion requirement may realize that ""monetary damages are unnecessary or that monetary damages would not fully compensate [them] for [their] injuries.” Sal-lee, at 771. 21 .This conclusion is reached, in part, upon review ol an affidavit filed by PRCC Institutional Ombudsman Bedwell and copies of plaintiff’s grievances. These documents go solely toward Couch's argument that plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies and are properly considered in evaluating Couch's 12(b)(1) motion. See Williams v. U.S., 50 F.3d 299, 304 (4th Cir.1995) (). 22 . DOP 10-2.10 states that: [plrior to ### Response: holding that in ruling on a rule 12b1 motion the court may consider exhibits outside the pleadings to resolve factual disputes regarding jurisdiction " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: also be liable for all injuries and property damage sustained by any person or domestic animal as a result of an attack by the dangerous dog. Id. § 2602(12). It is unclear why the Legislature provided for two definitions of one single term in two different subsections of the same statute. Nonetheless, ‘“[i]t is well established the [courts] should, if possible, construe statutes harmoniously.” V.I. Taxi Assoc. v. W. Indian Co., Ltd., 66 V.I. 473, 484 (V.I. 2017) (internal quotations omitted); see also Fish v.

Thus, all of the terms defined in section ### Response: recognizing the rule that whenever possible statutes should be read in harmony and not in conflict with each other " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that a plaintiff may ultimately lose his ease is not in itself a sufficient justification for the assessment of fees.” Id. at 986 (quoting Hughes v. Rowe, 449 U.S. 5, 14, 101 S.Ct. 173, 178, 66 L.Ed.2d 163 (1980)). The district court declined to find the complaint “meritless for purposes of § 1988 fees.” R. 304 at 11. As we have made clear in the sanctions discussion above, this is not a case in which the attorneys and parties have filed clearly wasteful or frivolous papers. Nor have they conducted an insufficient legal and factual investigation before filing meritless claims. Therefore, the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying attorneys’ fees pursuant to § 1988. See Christiansburg Garment Co. v. E.E.O.C., 434 U.S. 412, 421, 98 S.Ct. 694, 700, 54 L.Ed.2d 648 (1978) (); Munson v. Milwaukee Bd. of Sch.

While none of our previous cases explicitly hold that a failure to investigate can be deficient only if such failure leads to the exclusion of admissible evidence, the underlying assumption in our prior cases is that an investigation would have resulted in, at the very least, admissible evidence. See, e.g., Moore v. Johnson, 194 F.3d at 604 (finding failure to investigate defendant's background and the facts underlying an ""accidental shooting” theory was professionally unreasonable); Bryant, 28 F.3d at 1418 (); Loyd, 977 F.2d at 157-59 (holding failure to ### Response: holding counsels failure to investigate alibi witness and eyewitnesses to the crime amounted to constitutionally deficient performance " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the conduct of defendant’s business,” Tuxxedo Network, Inc. v.

Fitzpatrick avers that the services performed by excess line brokers are so important that if their services were not available Anglo would have to perform their role itself. Anglo argues that Anglo could not take over the tasks of excess line brokers because insurance brokerage and underwriting are completely different and because excess line insurance is rarely written without a broker. This dispute misses the point of the test, which is the importance of the agents’ services to the principal, not the feasibility of the principals’ performing the agents’ role.

At the hearing in this matter, AUSA Norm Cairns acknowledged that the Tenth Circuit’s case law examining this question does not resolve the instant inquiry. See 2/3/11 Tr. of Proceedings at 70 (“[W]e hope to get some clarification from this Court, potentially from the Tenth Circuit, one way or the other.... [This] was something of a test case[J”). The Court has therefore looked beyond Tenth Circuit authority to out-of-circuit case law, as well as a district court opinion from elsewhere in this Circuit, for guidance. Whereas the Tenth Circuit has expressly held that identity evidence may be suppressed as fruit of the poisonous tree, other circuit courts have held precisely the opposite. See, e.g., United States v. Farias-Gonzalez, 556 F.3d 1181, 1182 (11th Cir.2009) (); United States v. Garcia-Beltran, 443 F.3d ### Response: holding that identityrelated evidence is not suppressible when offered in a criminal prosecution only to prove who the defendant is " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: where Board fails to provide adequate statement of reasons or bases, the Court is precluded from effectively reviewing the Board’s adjudication).

In supplemental briefing, he asserts that the Secretary “never advised through a VCAA notice letter or otherwise on what evidence would be needed to substantiate any of the aforementioned claims.” Appellant’s Supplemental Brief at 2-3.

Thus, it is settled that a defendant in a criminal case may be compelled to furnish a handwriting exemplar and it is also settled that “introducing samples of the defendant’s handwriting at trial do[es] not violate the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination.” McDougal, 137 F.3d at 559.

See id. § 2244(d)(2). Unless some other tolling mechanism is in play, however, the one-year period expired on December 19, 2006 — more than eight months before the petitioner first sought federal habeas relief. In this venue, the petitioner argues that both his second PCR application and his Rule 35(a) motion constituted tolling mechanisms. If this argument is even partially correct (that is, if either of these filings served to toll the limitations period), the federal habeas petition would be timely. Accordingly, we inquire as to the effect of each filing. A. The 2005 PCR Application. Although the petitioner failed to mention the 2005 PCR applic 03) (); Hodge v.

McCollough argues that removal of “allegedly” from his statement “conveyed a completely different meaning to the average person” in that the revised statement read as an admission by him that he hit a player with a ball. McCollough’s Brief in Response to Cross-Appeal at 10. [35] The parties’ arguments demonstrate quite clearly that there is a genuine issue of material fact as to the defamatory imputation of the altered statement that was published. The true implication of the statement necessarily requires consideration of extrinsic evidence by the trier of fact. [36] The Defendants also argue that the statement cannot be defamatory because it accurately states what occurred. See Gatto v. St. Richard School, Inc., 114, N.E.2d 914, 924 (Ind.Ct.App.2002) (). They point to affidavits of witnesses who ### Response: holding that truth is a complete defense to defamation " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: entity from Masco because after the trial, La Gard merged with Masco and is now a division of Masco. Hence, we hold that standing was not, and is not, lacking on the part of either La Gard or Masco in this appeal. We, therefore, have jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1) (1994), and Mas-Hamilton’s motion to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction is denied. II. Infringement A patent infringement analysis involves two steps. First, the court determines the scope and meaning of the asserted claims. See Markman v. Westview Instruments, Inc., 517 U.S. 370, 372-74, 116 S.Ct. 1384, 134 L.Ed.2d 577 (1996). Claim construction is a question of law, reviewed non-deferentially on appeal. See Cybor Corp. v. FAS Techs., Inc., 138 F.3d 1448, 1456, 46 USPQ2d 1169, 1174 (Fed.Cir.1998) (in banc) (). Second, the properly construed claims are ### Response: holding we review claim construction de novo on appeal " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: himself. To the extent VanHoesen sought new counsel because his third assigned attorney proposed to pursue an insanity defense, the request is properly reviewed in the context of defendant’s unwillingness to work with any of the three attorneys appointed for him. See United States v. Schmidt, 105 F.3d 82, 89 (2d Cir.1997) (rejecting defendant’s claim that “she was coerced into self-representation because the district court, on the eve of trial, refused to replace her third court-appointed attorney”). In sum, a court does not deprive a defendant of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel when it is the defendant himself who creates the conflicts that result in a breakdown of attorney-client communication. See generally Morris v. Slappy, 461 U.S. 1, 14, 103 S.Ct. 1610, 75 L.Ed.2d 610 (1983) (). 3. Sufficiency of the Evidence Having failed ### Response: holding that there is no right to a meaningful attorneyclient relationship " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 72 S.Ct. 93, 96 L.Ed. 59 (1951)). In fact, the hotel staff had no authority even to enter Bass’s room, except for housekeeping purposes, unless (1) Bass himself consented or (2) his tenancy was terminated. United States v. Rahme, 813 F.2d 31, 34 (2d Cir.1987) (noting that when “a hotel guest’s rental period has expired or been lawfully terminated, the guest does not have a legitimate expectation of privacy in the hotel room”); United States v. Rambo, 789 F.2d 1289, 1295-96 (8th Cir.1986). In this case, Bass’s tenancy had not been terminated by eviction at the time the police searched his hotel room. Although the hotel manager testified that he personally considered Bass evicted once he had been arrested, the manager’s personal beliefs have no legal import. See Stoner, 376 U.S. at 490 (). The manager informed no one at the time that ### Response: recognizing that the constitutional protection against unreasonable searches and seizures would disappear if it were left to depend upon the unfettered discretion of an employee of the hotel " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (7 Otto) 381, 385, 24 L.Ed. 1104 (1878). Keying on this distinction in the nature of the proceeding, Griffin argues that although forfeiture actions “may be civil in form, [they] are in their nature criminal.” One 1958 Plymouth Sedan v. Pennsylvania, 380 U.S. 693, 697, 85 S.Ct. 1246, 1249, 14 L.Ed.2d 170 (1965) (quoting Boyd v. United States, 116 U.S. 383, 6 5. Ct. 524, 29 L.Ed. 746 (1886)). Consequently, Griffin explains, even if section 881 is a civil remedy, its effect is quasi-criminal and proceedings brought pursuant to the section are therefore subject to the ex post facto clause. It is true that forfeiture statutes like section 881 have been considered criminal for certain purposes. See One 1958 Plymouth Sedan v. Pennsylvania, 380 U.S. 693, 85 S.Ct. 1246, 14 L.Ed.2d 170 (1965) (); Boyd v.

Plaintiffs’ allegations regarding Daou’s “pipeline” expectations, however, fail to satisfy the PSLRA’s requirements. The complaint alleges that Daou misrepre-_ sented its “pipeline” expectations, stating that its position was “extremely strong” and “remained healthy and would fuel future earnings growth,” that “visibility of future earnings was outstanding,” and that the company’s “momentum was increasing.” Although these projections might have been overly optimistic when made, they do not rise to the level of a material misrepresentation actionable after enactment of the PSLRA: Congress enacted the PSLRA to put an end to the practice of pleading “fraud by hindsight.” See e.g., Medhekar v. United States Dist. Ct., 99 F.3d 325, 328 (9th Cir.1996) (). Silicon Graphics, 183 F.3d at 988.

The difficulty in granting judgment as a matter of law is in determining whether the jury was engaged in “honestly and in good faith exonerating the servant and capriciously rendering a verdict against the master, or honestly and in good faith finding the servant guilty of [discrimination], but [] capriciously exonerating] him because of the financial ability of the employer to better pay the judgment.” Eckleberry v.

See id. The taxpayer petitioned the Court with respect to the second notice. See id. The Court dismissed the second action, stating that the taxpayer had no right to file the second petition because former section 272(f) precluded the Commissioner from mailing the second notice as a valid notice. See id. at 988; cf. Kiker v. Commissioner, 218 F.2d 389, 393 (4th Cir. 1955) (stating that a second deficiency notice issued for a taxable year was not invalid under former section 272(f) because, among other reasons, it determined an additional deficiency on account of fraud); Rowan Cotton Mills Co. v.

Compare 20 C.F.R. pt. 404, subpt. P, app. 1, § 12.07 with id. § 12.08. 3. Substantial evidence supports the ALJ’s determination of Turner’s RFC. The RFC was consistent with the opinion issued by State reviewing psychologist Dr. Heather Barrons, the only medical opinion in the record that addressed Turner’s workplace limitations. Though the ALJ failed to mention Dr. Barrons’ opinion in his decision, any error was harmless as the ALJ’s RFC finding was consistent with her opinion and not contradicted by the opinion of any treating or examining physician. Cf. Marsh v. Colvin, 792 F.3d 1170, 1172-73 (9th Cir. 2015) (); Reddick v.

Nash-Holmes, 169 F.3d 636, 643 (9th Cir.1999) (when the majority of the investigation had been conducted by the time the grand jury was impaneled, the fact that the prosecutor interviewed other witnesses after impaneling grand jury did not preclude him from being protected by absolute immunity); Freeman ex rel.

Later, with the full development of Pickering cases into a discrete area of First Amendment law, the Supreme Court reinforced United Public Workers’s holding. In 1983, the Court ruled that a governmental employer is not required to “tolerate action which he reasonably believe[s] would” cause the harm against which the prophylactic measure is directed. Connick v. Myers, 461 U.S. 138, 154, 103 S.Ct. 1684, 1693, 75 L.Ed.2d 708 (1983); see also Sanjour v.

The government cannot pick and choose which Supreme Court cases it will follow. 6 Although the court concludes that TD 85-111 is not entitled to Chevron deference under a Christensen analysis, the court does not decide whether a similar policy promulgated through adjudication with the attendant procedural safeguards would warrant greater deference than that granted TD 85-111. Cf. INS v. Aguirre-Aguirre, 526 U.S. 415, 416 (1999) () (quoting INS v.

Appellant was offered food by the police and told he was free to leave the station at any time on Friday. Also, the police made sure that Appellant was well rested and fresh before they interrogated him on Saturday. In addition, when the police told Appellant that the hair found in Teresa’s hand matched Appellant’s hair, they were communicating the information that they received from SLED. Even if the information were untrue, it is not, alone, enough to render the confession involuntary. See Von Dohlen, 471 S.E.2d at 695; State v. Rabon, 275 S.C. 459, 272 S.E.2d 634 (1980)(“A misrepresentation, while relevant, may be insufficient to render inadmissible an otherwise valid confession”); State v.

Accordingly, the Court finds that all of the Defendants to this action were not required to join in the notice of removal filed by Defendant American Security Insurance Company under 28 U.S.C. § 1452. See Creasy v. Coleman Furniture Corp., 763 F.2d 656, 660 (4th Cir.1985) (). See also Daleske v.

Id. at 256. The court, citing 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c)(3), disagreed, stating, “[i]n a federal-question case, the termination of the foundational federal claim does not divest the district court of power to exercise supplemental jurisdiction but, rather, sets the stage for an exercise of the court’s informed discretion.” Id. at 256-257. Perhaps defendants mean to argue that the court must dismiss the pendent state claims because the federal claims have not only been determined to be without merit, but that they never were “substantial” within the constitutional sense in which that term was used in cases such as United Mine Workers v. Gibbs and Newman v. Burgin. Newman v. Burgin, 930 F.2d 955, 963 (1st Cir.1991) (), citing United Mine Workers v.

This claim of ineffective assistance of counsel fails. First, it is not clear that Bowling has shown constitutional deficiency. The Supreme Court has emphasized that the focus of the Sixth Amendment is not on “the accused’s relationship with his lawyer,” but on “the adversarial process.” Wheat v.

Even still, under a proper application of Farrar a court should grant attorney’s fees whenever a plaintiff has successfully established a violation of section 2000e-2(m) and obtained either declaratory or some limited form of injunctive relief. Thus, under Farrar the answer to the first question posed above remains the same because it will only be under the most unusual circumstances that a plaintiff will not be awarded either of these remedies. To be eligible to recover attorney’s fees under section 1988 (the statute at issue in Farrar) a party must be the “prevailing party.” In Farrar the Supreme Court first held that a plaintiff who recovers only nominal damages is in fact a prevailing party for purposes of section 1988. 506 U.S. at 114, 113 S.Ct. at 574 ().

CONCLUSION For the reasons discussed above, we reject the State’s contention that McConnell was wrongly decided and conclude that a new penalty hearing is the proper remedy in cases where the sole aggravating circumstance has been struck. We therefore affirm the district court’s findings of fact, conclusions of law, and judgment. Gibbons, C.

Second, the Siewerts’ claims are based on “maintenance, operation or inspection.” Minn.Stat. § 541.051, subd. 1(d). The first negligence claim’s reference to “handling, supplying, distributing, selling and placing in the stream of commerce” can reasonably be construed as implicating the “operation” of the electrical system and its components. It falls under the excepti s sufficient to raise a triable issue. Minnesota courts have long rejected the argument that a plaintiff must establish a regulatory or statutory violation to establish a duty element. See Edgewater Motels, Inc. v. Gatzke, 277 N.W.2d 11, 18 (Minn.1979) (explaining that industry cannot be permitted to set its own standard of care); Muehlhauser v. Erickson, 621 N.W.2d 24, 28 (Minn.App.2000) ().

United States v. Hamm, 638 F.2d 823, 828 (5th Cir. 1981). Some courts have sought to further define the appropriate standard for making such decisions by recognizing that a court should defer to the prosecution’s request for nolle prosequi unless the prosecution is clearly wrong.

(Def.’s Mot. to Suppress 16-17.) The Defendant cites to a case from the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts for support. (Id. at 19-20.) For starters, and to state the obvious, the decisions of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts do not bind this Court, particularly when there is a First Circuit case that is controlling on this issue. Moreover, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts declined to adopt the same rule as the state court, citing Staula. See United States v.

Here, Defendant expressly disclaims having any ownership interest in the premises or the bag seized. As such, he lacks a sufficient privacy interest to support a motion to suppress the trash bag or the items located therein. See Pierson, 219 F.3d at 806; United States v.

Section 362(a)(1) specifically bars “the commencement or continuation, including the issuance or employment of process, of a judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding against the debtor that was or could have been commenced before the commencement of the case under this title, or to recover a claim against the debtor that arose before the commencement of the case under [the Code] ....” 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)(1) (emphasis supplied).

However, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in construing the False Claims Acts required that allegations in a civil action be proven by showing “specific intent to defraud” the United States by “clear, unequivocal, evidence.” United States v. Ekelman & Associates, Inc., 532 F.2d 545, 548 (6th Cir.1976); United States v. Ueber, 299 F.2d 310, 314-15 (6th Cir.1962). While federal appellate courts are yet to address the issue of retroactive application of the 1986 amendments to the False Claims Act, other federal district courts have reached differing conclusions on the issue.

Rasmussen, 642 F.2d 165, 166-69 (5th Cir.1981); see also Carr, 740 F.2d at 344 (noting that if an assertion of innocence were enough to withdraw a guilty plea, withdrawal would be an automatic right). Felice contends that if he could prove that his attorney was ineffective, he would be entitled to withdraw his plea. See Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 59, 106 S.Ct. 366, 88 L.Ed.2d 203 (1985) ().

As to the former rationale, other white jurors had made the same claim and had not been excused; as to the latter, it is not clear from the record that it was this particular juror who stated that her brother had been arrested. The trial court overruled the objection. The Melbourne decision charged the courts with the duty to insure that race-based peremptory challenges do not render the jury selection process fundamentally unfair. The penalty for such an improper peremptory challenge is a new trial. In this case, however, the incomplete, unreconstructed, and unavailable record has impeded this court from the exercise of this important duty. Compare Rozier v.

To determine the value of the debtor’s equity, the court subtracted the amount of the other unavoidable liens from the fair market value of the property determined as of time of the bankruptcy filing. Id. at 116. Although the Third Circuit opinion did not expressly acknowledge what the result would be if the amount of the debtor’s equity exceeded the value of the $7500 homestead exemption, the Bankruptcy Court decision had recognized that the debtor could avoid the lien only to the lesser of the amount of the value of his equity or of the amount of his homestead exemption. 160 B.R. 524, 525-26 (Bankr.D.N.J.1993); see also In re Arevalo, supra, 142 B.R. at 115 (); cf.

The Court held that a denial of benefits challenge under 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a)(1)(B) should be reviewed under a de novo standard unless the benefit plan grants the administrator or fiduciary discretionary authority to determine eligibility for benefits or to construe the terms of the plan.

West, 807 A.2d at 920. Thus, the Court must next analyze the relevant contacts the states have with the underlying insurance contract. Florida’s contacts with the insurance policy outweigh Pennsylvania’s interest in the application of its law. See Hammersmith, 480 F.3d at 226-27.

As to her additional claims under Title VII, namely her sexual harassment and hostile work environment claims, it is unlikely this Court would be with jurisdiction to entertain them, as it appears that Figueroa has not exhausted her administrative remedies.

Thus, it appears that Figueroa’s Title VII claims of sexual harassment and hostile work environment have not been under the scrutiny of the EEOC; as such, allowing Figueroa to intervene with them would probably prove futile.

Under Massachusetts law, a contractual one year limitations period does not violate Massachusetts public policy, and is expressly permitted under the Massachusetts UCC. Mass. Gen. Law ch. 106 § 2-725; Hays v. Mobil Oil Corp., 930 F.2d 96, 100 (1st Cir.1991). Similarly, the Massachusetts UCC allows parties to a contract for the sale of goods to limit damages as long as such limitation would not be unconscionable. Mass. Gen. Law ch. 106 § 2-719.

Under any other interpretation, a plaintiff whose lung impairment is due to silicosis or asbestosis, rather than another occupational lung disease, would be denied access to potential compensation provided by G.S. § 97-31(24), a result which appears to us to be patently unfair and possibly constitutionally infirm.

Holt, 264 F.3d at 1221. The officer may also ask a driver to remove an obstruction from a vehicle’s dashboard if the vehicle’s VIN is not otherwise visible from outside the car. Caro, 248 F.3d at 1245. However, we have generally required that further questioning by an officer of an investigative nature, including a request to search a vehicle, be legitimately related in its investigative purpose to the officer’s reasonable and articulable suspicion of criminal activity.

First, the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act (“MVRA”) requires full, not partial, restitution. 18 U.S.C. § 3663A, 3771(a)(6); United States v. Grice, 319 F.3d 1174, 1177 (9th Cir.2003) (per cu-riam). The district court does not have the authority to discharge a restitution obligation that is not fully satisfied. Here, the restitution obligation has not been fully satisfied. Moreover, a civil settlement in bankruptcy court does not discharge the criminal restitution obligation mandated by the MVRA. A bankruptcy settlement subsequent to the imposition of restitution in criminal court does not waive the requirement of restitution. See United States v. Edwards, 595 F.3d 1004, 1014 (9th Cir. 2010); see also United States v. Cloud, 872 F.2d 846 (9th Cir.l989) ().

In balancing the relevant factors under such circumstances, “[t]his kind of forum shopping could be avoided by requiring district courts to inquire into the availability of state court proceedings to resolve all issues without federal intervention.” Id. Here, we cannot determine from the present record if the district court considered whether Budget could have filed an action for indemnification, or for a declaration under Hawaii law, either on the date this federal action was filed, or on the date the district court decided the merits of the novel state issues presented in the complaint. We are not certain that the district court “came up with the right answer” when it decided the merits. See Golden Eagle, 95 F.3d at 812 ().

More importantly, there was a clear holding of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that affirmed the legality of such patronage firings. In 1971, Pennsylvania transportation workers sought to challenge the dismissals they anticipated under a forthcoming change of administration. AFSCME v. Shapp, 443 Pa. 527, 280 A.2d 375 (1971).

A court of appeals “may allow the petition to be filed after the 60th day only if there are reasonable grounds for not filing by the 60th day.” 49 U.S.C. § 46110(a); see also Sierra Club v. Skinner, 885 F.2d 591 (9th Cir.1989). We have suggested before that an attempt to exhaust remedies may be a reasonable ground for delay. See Watson v. Nat’l Transp.

[is] tolled ... when [petitioner] erroneously filed his petition with the NTSB, the filing was yet several years overdue.”). The Eighth Circuit has explicitly recognized exhaustion as a reasonable ground under § 46110(a). See Reder v. FAA, 116 F.3d 1261, 1263 (8th Cir.1997) ().

T16 Due to the factors discussed above, we find that Hansen remained seized for Fourth Amendment purposes when, and because, Officer Huntington asked him whether there was alcohol, drugs, or weapons in the vehicle. Likewise Hansen was seized for Fourth Amendment purposes when Officer Huntington requested consent to search the car. The State concedes that Officer Huntington did not have a reasonable articulable suspicion of more serious eriminal activity to justify the investigative questions. Therefore, Hansen was illegally detained when Officer Huntington asked him questions that were not reasonably related in scope to the traffic violation which justified the initial sei-zare. See United States v. Walker, 933 F.2d 812, 816 (10th Cir.1991) (). II.

Accordingly, the district court, accepting the magistrate judge’s recommendation, granted the § 2255 motion as to Taste’s Simmons claim, vacated the judgment, and ordered resentencing. At resentencing in July 2014, the district court concluded that Taste’s prior Massachusetts convictions for larceny from the person were violent felonies for purposes of the ACCA, and again applied the enhanced sentence of 180 months’ imprisonment. The district court imposed the same conditions of supervised release as it did at the first sentencing, including the following special condition: The defendant shall subm (1st Cir.2005) ().

In this case, although Mahabir had yet to filé her appeal when the Superior Court ruled on the attorney’s fees motions, the time to appeal had not expired since the Superior Court did not rule on Mahabir’s motion for reconsideration until March 24, 2014, giving the parties until April 23, 2014, to file a notice of appeal.

Therefore, the litigation remained ongoing when the Superior Court ruled on both motions for attorney’s fees. Bryan v. Fawkes, 61 V.I. 416, 448 (V.I. 2014) (); see also Johnson v.

Because Felice’s motion relies on conelusory allegations which find no support in the record, he did not provide “sufficient facts which, if proven, would justify relief’ from his earlier guilty plea. Accordingly, the district court acted within its discretion in denying the motion to withdraw without holding a hearing. Felice points to his assertion of innocence to support the withdrawal of his plea. As to his claim of innocence, Felice has made only a bare assertion that he “did nothing wrong.” He points to no facts t e because he did not consider evidence provided by Felice and because he refused to speak to witnesses.

There is no direct evidence of pretext. The Ninth Circuit has clarified the type of evidence that will enable a retaliation claim to proceed beyond the summary judgment stage. It held that “[w]hen the plaintiff offers direct evidence of discriminatory motive, a triable issue as to the actual motivation of the employer is created even if the evidence is not substantial.” Godwin v. Hunt Wesson, Inc., 150 F.3d 1217, 1221 (1998). Direct evidence of discriminatory animus has been recognized by several circuits as “evidence which, if believed, proves the fact without inference or presumption.” Davis v. Chevron, 14 F.3d 1082, 1085 (5th Cir.1994); see also Spengler v.

Brenner, 927 F.Supp.2d 537, 542 (N.D.Ill.2013) (citing Merrill Lynch, 49 F.3d at 327). Normally, when arbitration is dictated, a court compels arbitration in that district and stays the court proceeding. 9 U.S.C. § 3 (“If any suit or proceeding be brought in any of the courts of the United States upon any issue referable to arbitration ... the court in which such suit is pending ... shall on application of one of the parties stay the trial of the action until such arbitration has been had .... ”). But when a court is presented with a motion to compel arbitration in a different district, the proper action is to dismiss the complaint for improper venue under Rule 12(b)(3).

The State has pointed to no error in the district court proceeding that would entitle the State to a new hearing, nor does the record reveal any other matter that hindered the prosecution’s ability to amend the trial information prior to that hearing in order to rely on other prior convictions. In sum, the State had a full and fair opportunity to support its accusation that the defendant was a habitual offender, but its evidence was insufficient. In view of these circumstances, the prosecution is not entitled to a second bite of the apple to remedy its failure of proof. Cf. Woody, 613 N.W.2d at 218 (); M-Z Enters., Inc. v. Hawkeye-Sec. Ins.

Although the hen in that case received the benefit of New York’s “relation-back” provision, the court’s preference decision did not rely on that fact. The court looked instead to whether the henor had filed his notice of hen within the statutory time period. See also In re Wisner, 77 B.R. 395, 397-98 (Bankr.N.D.N.Y.1987) ().

The parties agree that the government’s failure to allege specific intent rendered the indictment defective under Pemillo-Fuentes. The government asserts, however, that Velasco-Medina waived his objection to the indictment’s sufficiency by failing to raise it before the district court. Velasco-Medina responds that the indictment’s defect deprived the district court of jurisdiction over the case ah initio, and thus requires that we overturn his conviction. We find neither argument availing. The government’s position that Ve-lasco-Medina waived any objection to the indictment’s sufficiency by failing to raise it in the district court has been repeatedly rejected in this Circuit. See, e.g., United States v. Godinez-Rabadan, 289 F.3d 630, 632 (9th Cir.2002) (); United States v.

The Secretary mistakenly believes that Burns’ perceived lack of standing to seek prospective relief warrants a determination that her claims are barred by the Eleventh Amendment. Docket No. 21 at 7. Nonetheless, the question of whether the requested relief is barred by the Eleventh Amendment does not turn on whether Burns herself has standing to seek such relief.

To illustrate, if the plaintiff had brought a contempt action against the defendants, focusing on retrospective, instead of pro- spective, relief, the “continuous violation” doctrine would have defeated any defense that focused solely on the validity of the underlying injunction.

No other substitute exists for the requirement of actual physical contact with the motor vehicle itself. Texas courts have uniformly rejected the contention that a collision with cargo and other objects falling from a car satisfies the requirement of actual physical contact with a motor vehicle.

The Florida Parole Commission (“Parole Commission”) issued an order revoking Robert B. Olsen’s (“Olsen”) parole. Thereafter, Olsen filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus in the circuit court, seeking review of the Parole Commission’s order. The circuit court entered an order denying Olsen’s petition for writ of habeas corpus, and Olsen then appealed the circuit court’s order to this Court. Because the circuit court’s review of the Parole Commission’s quasi-judicial action is the equivalent of an appeal, plenary appeal to a district court to review the merits of the circuit court’s order is not authorized.

In such a situation, vouching introduces credibility evidence that would have been inadmissible during trial. However, a prosecutor may draw reasonable inferences from the evidence adduced at trial, even going so far as to call a defendant a liar if the record supports that accusation. See United States v.

The state concedes that the court committed plain error when it imposed attorney fees in this case, because the record is devoid of evidence that defendant would be able to repay them.

Because Lively is challenging her sentence on the grounds that the district court failed to consider certain directives contained in the sentencing reform act of 1984, specifically 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a) & 3582(a), Lively is appealing her sentence on the grounds that it was imposed in violation of the law. Consequently, this is an appealable issue under 18 U.S.C. § 3742(a)(1). See, e.g., United States v. Byrd, 984 F.2d 251, 252 (8th Cir.1993) () (citation omitted).

We agree with the state, however, that footnote 5 of Paradise and the holding in In re Daniel H. make clear that statutes affecting “other areas of the criminal process”; State v. Paradise, supra, 353 n.5; may be given retrospective effect if the legislative history evinces a clear and unequivocal intent for such a retrospective application.

For this reason, such restraints generally are not deemed per se illegal, but, rather, are tested under a rule of reason analysis. See Business Elecs. Corp. v. Sharp Elecs. Corp., 485 U.S. 717, 723, 108 S.Ct. 1515, 99 L.Ed.2d 808 (1988). Vertical price-fixing agreements, however, are a special subset of vertical restraints. As such, they qualify for different treatment. A vertical price-fixing agreement that establishes a minimum price normally is regarded as a naked restraint of trade and, thus, as illegal per se. See Business Elecs. Corp., 485 U.S. at 724, 108 S.Ct. 1515; Dr. Miles Med. Co. v. John D. Park & Sons Co., 220 U.S. 373, 404-09, 31 S.Ct. 376, 55 L.Ed. 502 (1911); cf. State Oil Co. v.

Given Wyche’s extensive involvement, the 31 kilograms of cocaine base were reasonably foreseeable to him and thus he may be held responsible for that quantity. See United States v. Duncan, 639 F.3d 764, 767-69 (7th Cir.2011) (rejecting defendant’s claim that he did not foresee the conspiracy handling over 4.5 kilograms of cocaine base as “[imjplausible” and “baseless” where conspiracy sold “staggering amount of crack” and defendant had access to “stash-locations” and “high-level meetings”); Thomas, 114 F.3d at 256-57 ().

This parallel between the Privacy Act and the common-law torts of libel per quod and slander suggests the possibility that Congress intended the term “actual damages” in the Act to mean special damages. The basic idea is that Privacy Act victims, like victims of libel per quod or slander, are barred from any recovery unless they can first show actual— that is, pecuniary or material — harm. Upon showing some pecuniary harm, no matter how slight, they can recover the statutory minimum of $1,000, presumably for any unproven harm. That Congress would choose to use the term “actual damages” instead of “special damages” was not without precedent. The terms had occasionally been used interchangeably. See, e. g., Wetzel v. Gulf Oil Corp., 455 P. 2d 857, 862 (CA9 1972) (); Electric Furnace Corp. v.

In re Westinghouse, 90 F.3d at 710. Consequently, Rule 9(b) demands increased specificity in the pleadings to establish violations of Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5. Pursuant to Rule 9(b), allegations concerning misrepresentations of material fact must be pleaded in greater detail. Stevelman v.

Specifically, the father argues that the mother’s evidence of the child’s previously incurred educational expenses was hearsay, and that he should not be required to pay those expenses because he had been paying child support at the same time that those expenses were incurred. However, we will not consider these arguments presented by the father because the father has not complied with Rule 28(a)(10), Ala. R.App. P., by failing to include “citations to the cases, statutes, other authorities, and parts of the record relied on.” Rule 28(a)(10). See also State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co. v.

Although Defendants contend that evidence of Victim’s .245 percent BAC would have tended to show that Defendants were reasonable in their apprehension and that Victim was the first aggressor, Defendants have not supplied authority to support this proposition. There undoubtedly is in many instances a correlation between alcohol and violence. However, as the district court observed, although it is clear that BAC may demonstrate impaired ability to drive a motor vehicle, a correlation between BAC and aggressiveness seems speculative unless tied more specifically to an individual’s history. As such, the probative value of the BAC evidence in this case is questionable at best. Cf. id. ¶ 14 ().

Citing the Restatement, Marcus Cable expressly recognized, as an example of appropriate application of the doctrine of technological advancement or development, that a holder of an easement granted in 1940 for the purpose of telephone transmission could properly attach transmitters to its poles for cellular telephone transmissions unless that use would interfere unreasonably with the ser-vient estate. See id., 90 S.W.3d at 702 (citing Restatement (Third) of PROPERTY (Servitudes) § 4.10 illus. 13); see also Cor-ley, 246 F.Supp.2d at 578-79 ().

His expression, taken as a whole, lends itself to three possible interpretations: Rogers intended (1) to illicit a sexual response from Emily; (2) to communicate his sexual attraction to her; and/or (3) to compel Emily to view a picture of him masturbating. On any of these interpretations, a jury could reasonably find prurient his sexual interest in and pursuit of a child. The jury could also find shameful his desire to expose Emily to such graphic and sexual-ized content. The Supreme Court’s First Amendment jurisprudence emphasizes a distinction between parties who consent to privately receive and possess obscene materials and those who endure unwilling exposure. Compare Stanley v. Georgia, 394 U.S. 557, 568, 89 S.Ct. 1243, 22 L.Ed.2d 542 (1969) (), with United States v.

Emphasizing that the cause of action against the third-party tortfeasor exists for one indivisible wrong, the trial court held that the employer’s/insurer’s right of subrogation under Section 319 of the WCA must be achieved through an action brought in the name of or joined by the injured employee.

In Lingsch v.

Id. at 204. Other courts have followed this rule and recognized that an “as is” provision in a contract for the sale of realty does not preclude an action by the buyer for nondisclosure. See, e.g., Rayner v. Wise Realty Co., 504 So.2d 1361 (Fla.Dist.Ct.App. 1987) (); Silva v.

Fla. Stat. § 768.74(5). Taking each factor in turn, we hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion in upholding the jury’s award of compensatory damages. The first factor asks whether the award evinces passion or prejudice. The district court cited Goldsmith v. Bagby, 513 F.3d 1261, 1275 (11th Cir.2008), to show the validity of an emotional damages award equal to a claimant’s salary. See Myers v. Cent. Fla. Invs., Inc., No. 6:04-cv-1542-Orl-28DAB, 2008 WL 4710898, at *15 n. 13 (M.D.Fla. Oct. 23, 2008). But the validity of the compensatory award was not at issue in Goldsmith, see 513 F.3d at 1267-68, 1276-77, and, as the defendants argue, its relevance to our inquiry is therefore limited. Cf. Bravo v. United States, 532 F.3d 1154, 1166-67 (11th Cir.2008) (), reh’g denied, 583 F.3d 1297 (2009). ### Response: holding that damages are to be compared only against awards tested for size in reported appellate decisions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: — a reference that is in tension with Olson.

However, we then held, consistent with Olson, that we ""must disregard state rales of sovereign or official immunity in analyzing the scope of FTCA liability, because these conflict with Congress’s analogy to 'private person’ liability ...."" Crider, 885 F.2d at 296. Based on this holding, we determined that because neither a state law enforcement officer nor a private person would have had a duty to the plaintiff to detain a drunk driver, the park rangers also had no such duty, and thus the Government was not liable under the 007 (5th Cir.2003) ().

In the case at bar, the district court was not given sufficient opportunity to address the motion to intervene prior to the filing of the notice of appeal. Once such notice was filed, the district court was without jurisdiction to address the motion. Accordingly, the district court did not err in denying Lobasso’s motion to intervene. VII. For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court’s order dismissing Taylor’s complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. In addition, we affirm the denial of Lobasso’s 54 (11th Cir.2001) (). 3 .

We acknowledge, like the district court did, that taken in isolation and given a literal interpretation, ESPN’s suggestion that Evel is a pimp is “sufficiently factual to be susceptible of being proved true or false.” See Underwager, 69 F.3d at 366. But we assess the meaning of the word in the context in which it was used. Because the caption cannot reasonably be interpreted literally in this context, the fact that its literal interpretation could be proven true or false is immaterial. The Knievels correctly point out that the fact that a statement is an attempt at humor does not immunize the speaker against liability for defamation.

Quick asserts the funds from the UGMA account were not a distributable asset of the probate estate because she has a vested title in the proceeds from account and she is entitled to a constructive trust. While we find this argument intriguing, we decline to consider it on appeal. See I'On, L.L.C. v. Town of Mt. Pleasant, 338 S.C. 406, 420 n. 9, 526 S.E.2d 716, 723 n. 9 (2000) (). 4 .

On the other hand, the types of damages sought by Phillips suggest she might have meant to bring both wrongful death and survival actions. Importantly, however, Phillips never refers to herself or any of the plaintiffs as personal representatives of the Decedent’s estate, nor does she clearly assert that she is in fact the Decedent’s executor or administrator. Under Mississippi's general survivorship statute, only executors, administrators, and temporary administrators may bring a survival action. Miss Code Ann. § 91-7-233 (1994). Thus, without alleging the appropriate legal status, Phillips could not have brought a survival action. See Berryhill v. Nichols, 171 Miss. 769, 158 So. 470, 471 (1935) ().

This time, the police officers who responded called Mayor Jackson, reported that Williams was creating a disturbance, and asked for guidance. Jackson responded by directing the officers to bring Williams to his office for questioning. The police handcuffed Williams, placed him in a police car, and brought him to the mayor’s office for interrogation. Williams seeks to hold the town liable based on Jackson’s action. There is no question that probable cause was required to detain Williams in this manner. As a Fourth Amendment matter, placing a suspect in handcuffs and transporting him to a government office for interrogation must be supported by probable cause. Kaupp v. Texas, 538 U.S. 626, 630, 123 S.Ct. 1843, 155 L.Ed.2d 814 (2003) (); United States v.

Accordingly, after reconsideration, this Court affirms its prior Ruling granting summary judgment for Plaintiff on his claim under § 1692e(5). B. The Remaining FDCPA Claims Under §§ 1692e(2)(A) and (10) Having affirmed its prior Ruling on Plaintiffs § 1692e(5) claim, this Court also affirms its prior Ruling granting summary judgment for Plaintiff on his claims arising under §§ 1692e(2)(A) and (10). Courts have long held that after finding a valid claim under a more specific subsection of § 1692e, such as § 1692e(5), further analysis under § 1692e(10) is “somewhat dupli-cative.” Kapeluschnik, 1999 U.S. Dist.

Furthermore, Krishner only articulated Vernon’s job deficiencies for the first time during Meyers’s investigation. This additional evidence suggests that Port Authority’s reasons could have been a pretext for retaliation. Because a genuine issue of material fact exists as to whether Port Authority’s reasons are pre-textual or not, the Court denies defendant’s motion for summary judgment on plaintiffs Title VII and ADEA retaliation claims in regards to the failure to promote.

Further, the conclusion of the District of Columbia Circuit, in Moóre, that the collection of information for use in a prosecution is necessarily investigative rather than advocatory conduct demonstrates a much narrower conception of the advocatory role than is justified by Imbler, in which the Court explicitly recognized that ""[pjreparation, both for the initiation of the criminal process and for a trial, may require the obtaining, reviewing, and evaluating of evidence.” Imbler, 424 U.S. at 431 n. 33, 96 S.Ct. 984 (emphasis added). 7 .Rowell’s trial testimony included an in-chambers conference that involved the state court, counsel for the parties, and Rowell.

The court considered whether that new requirement applied only to the named plaintiff or also to all absent class members. Id., 93 Cal.Rptr.3d 559, 207 P.3d at 25. The court concluded, based on the language of the initiative, that only the named plaintiff needed to show such an injury in fact. Id. Individuals could remain part of the class even if they had suffered no injury in fact. Id., 93 Cal.Rptr.3d 559, 207 P.3d at 35. That case, however, was in state court and did not address federal courts’ standing requirements. Before the enactment of Proposition 64, uninjured plaintiffs could bring UCL claims in state court, but not federal court. See, e.g., Seibels Bruce Group, Inc. v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., No. C-99-0593 MHP, 1999 WL 760527 at *6 (N.D.Cal. Sept. 21, 1999) (); Boyle v.

Brown, 6 Vet.App. 377, 383-84 (1994); see also Hayre, 188 F.3d at 1330-32 (ratifying Cajfrey, supra). Second, the Court’s authority to consider claims of CUE in Board decisions is premised upon, inter alia, 38 U.S.C. § 7111, which took effect on November 21, 1997. See Pub.L. No. 105-111, 111 Stat. 2271 (1997) (the provisions of Pub.L. 105-111 “apply to any determination made before, on, or after the date of the enactment.”). Section 7111 requires that such arguments must be raised to the Board in the first instance and decided by the Board on the merits; they may not be raised in the first instance on appeal to the Court. See 38 U.S.C. § 7111(e); Ledford v. West, 136 F.3d 776 (Fed.Cir.1998) ().

And under the Board’s practice, “any issues that may be presented during the representation proceeding must be offered there.” Pace Univ. v. NLRB, 514 F.3d 19, 23 (D.C.Cir.2008). Thus, the Board claims, UC Health’s objection to the Regional Director’s authority comes too late. We have consistently held, however, that challenges to the composition of an agency can be raised on review even when they are not raised before the agency. See Noel Canning v.

A. Premises Liability (Vicarious) under Restatement § 422(a) ¶ 12 Arizona courts have consistently recognized that a landowner is not liable for the negligent conduct of an independent contractor unless the landowner has been independently negligent.

However, we must follow the decisional law established by our own Court. Blumenstock v. Gibson, 811 A.2d 1029, 1039 (Pa.Super.2002). Moreover, we observe that following our decision in In re S.A, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court denied a subsequently filed petition for allowance of appeal. In re S.A., 597 Pa. 733, 952 A.2d 678 (2008). Therefore, unless or until In re S.A. and In re A.C. are overturned by an en banc panel of this Court, or by a decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, they continue to be viable precedent for this Court and for the courts of common pleas. Id. See also, Sorber v. American Motorists Ins. Co., 451 Pa.Super. 507, 680 A.2d 881, 882 (1996) ().

In Joe Harden Builders, Inc. v. Aetna Casualty and Surety Co., 326 S.C. 231, 486 S.E.2d 89 (S.C.1997), the South Carolina Supreme Court replied to a federal district court’s certified question regarding the appropriate trigger of coverage when defective construction results in progressive and continuous property damage. The plaintiff contractor sought payment under a subcontractor’s insurance policy. The court held that “coverage is triggered at the time of an injury-in-fact and continuously thereafter to allow coverage under all policies in effect from the time of injury-in-fact during the progressive damage.” Id. at 91.

This factor is thus neutral. Disruption of the Defendant’s Business Thomas Coffee argues that he is currently employed as a “remodeler/handy-man” in Ohio under the company name “Coffee Enterprises, Inc.”. He argues that he will have to stop working during the trial if it is held in Philadelphia, whereas in Ohio he will be able to work after court or during breaks. Thus, Coffee pére argues that this reality favors transfer. Thomas Coffee also notes that the “marginal” nature of his business should not make this factor stand any less in his favor, see United States v. Haley, 504 F.Supp. 1124, 1128 (E.D.Pa.1981) (). At today’s hearing, defense counsel ### Response: holding that this factor favored transfer when one of the defendants was merely planning to pump gas at night during trial on the basis that defending criminal charges should not include the penalty of financial ruin where the trial might be conducted properly and legally in a forum near defendants homes and businesses " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the actual damages and the punitive damages is the same. The jury in the state case found that Scarborough willfully and maliciously injured Fischer by instigating the criminal charges and the petition for a protective order. Scarborough’s willful and malicious conduct resulted in the actual damages and, with the jury’s finding of outrageousness, supported the punitive damages. Because the holding in In re Ratcliff, 199 B.R. 185 (Bankr.W.D.Mo.1996), the decision relied on by the bankruptcy court in this case, differs from our opinion, we decline to follow it. Finally, we note that our holding today regarding the dischargeability of punitive damages is consistent with our sister Circuits. See Abbo v. Rossi, McCreery & Assocs., Inc. (In re Abbo), 168 F.3d 930, 931-32 (6th Cir.1999) (); Hagan v.

If it is true that the Business and Finance Academy had to reduce the number of social studies teachers to one, it is questionable how only four months later it was able to accommodate a second social studies teacher, who happened to be younger than the plaintiff. See, e.g., Aka, 156 F.3d at 1293 (“If the jury can infer that the employer’s explanation is not only a mistaken one in terms of the facts, but a lie, that should provide even stronger evidence of discrimination.”); but see Simpson v.

Moreover, it is well settled that, in order to secure a reversal, “the appellant has an affirmative duty of showing error upon the record,” Tucker v. Nichols, 431 So.2d 1263, 1264 (Ala.1983), and that “ ‘[i]t is not the function of this court to search a record on appeal to find evidence to support a party’s argument.’ ” Ellison v.

Even if the district court gives the Austrian courts’ damages award res judicata effect, the effect is not of sufficient magnitude to render the stay immediately appealable because the damages issue is more than offset by issues relating to the constructive trust, the recognition of the assignment, and the recognition of the Austrian judgments. Michelson, 138 F.3d at 514 (requiring the stay to give res judi-cata effect “on all or an important part of the subsequent federal case” to be immediately appealable); Boushel, 985 F.2d at 409 ().

Defense counsel’s failure to present evidence from the previous trial is much more likely to affect the outcome of the sentencing phase. Because so much time passed between the conviction and the sentencing, and this evidence was substantial enough that it reasonably could have altered the balance between the mitigating and aggravating circumstances, there does seem to be a reasonable probability that, but for defense counsel’s failure to reargue the favorable evidence from trial, the judge would have sentenced Pizzuto to life rather than death. Also, considered cumulatively with counsel’s other deficiencies discussed below, defense counsel’s failure to contest the State’s case in aggravation was prejudicial. See Harris v. Wood, 64 F.3d 1432, 1438-39 (9th Cir.1995) ().

First, simply by virtue of the fact that Dr. Hyde is going to be giving opinion testimony at trial, they are entitled to all of the opinions contained in his report. Pursuant to rule 1.280, to be discoverable, the requested matter must not be privileged and must be relevant. Here, for the reasons discussed above, Dr. Hyde’s standard of care opinion is privileged and is not relevant. Second, Respondents argue that they need these opinions because they are entitled to explore Dr. Hyde’s “motive” and “bias.” In addition to failing to explain this theory, Respondents also overlook that offering an expert’s unpresented opinions simply to attack the expert’s credibility is improper.

Smillie did not advance any relation back argument before the district court, and conceded as much at oral argument. By assuming relation back was automatic, Smillie offered no proof to trigger the provision and failed to show that Defendants were provided notice of the complaint and were not prejudiced by the amendment. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 15(c)(1)(C); Miguel, 309 F.3d at 1165 ().

Moreover, the government indicated that the additional discovery material consisted mostly of summaries of earlier disclosed evidence. Under these circumstances, the Court finds that it was entirely proper to require that the trial proceed as scheduled. Cf. United States v. McHorse, 179 F.3d 889, 904 (10th Cir.1999) (affirming denial of motion to continue trial more than a half day where the defendant had just received additional discovery material, but continuance motion was made the day of trial and three prior continuances had been granted); United States v.

None indicated that their exposure would interfere in any way with their ability to render a verdict based solely on the evidence presented in court. Based on such a record, together with the fact that a significant number of potential jurors had not formed a fixed bias against the appellant due to news reports or other information, and the fact that a one year and nine-month span between the murder and trial had lessened the publicity and its impact, we held that the trial court had not abused its discretion by denying the appellant his request for a change of venue.

But the allegations are for a simple breach of an oral contract — Figaro-la borrowed $25,000 from the Walkers which he promised to repay within three weeks, and the loan remains unpaid. The complaint thus alleges a failure to comply with the terms of the contract. The Walkers had four years to bring a breach of contract action against Figarola, but they failed to do so. They cannot now seek a remedy in tort for a debt which could have been discharged by the payment of money by simply alleging that Figarola never intended to keep his promise to repay the debt.

We agree. As the trial court correctly recognized during the in camera hearing, the Fifth Amendment privilege that Ms. Day was citing as a basis for not taking the witness stand was not available to her given both her acquittal and the grant of immunity extended to her.

It is our conclusion that the two remedies are not inconsistent, and that a judgment creditor may either sue upon his judgment, or renew it by affidavit, if he complies with the respective laws.

The United States Supreme Court left open the question whether the lien attached prior to the acquisition of the property interest, meaning the lien would not have fixed on an interest of the debtor and section 522(f)(1) would not apply.

In order to determine whether this statute violates the separation of powers inherent in the structure of the Constitution, we must first look at the relevant constitutional provisions. The Constitution assigns to Congress the power to define the jurisdiction of the lower federal courts. This power derives from Congress’s power in Article I “[t]o constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court,” U.S. Const. art. I, § 8, and in Article III to “ordain and establish” inferior courts, U.S. Const. art. Ill, § 1. See Kline v. Burke Constr.

We have for consideration proposed amendments to the Florida rules of court and forms intended to minimize the amount of unnecessary personal information included in documents filed with the courts. Reducing the amount of extraneous personal information in court records is another necessary step in the Court’s ongoing effort to provide the public with electronic access to nonconfidential court records. As part of that effort, we re cently adopted procedures that allow clerks of court to readily identify and screen from the public confidential information filed with the courts and refine the procedures for sealing and unsealing court records. See In re Amends, to Fla. Rule of Jud. Admin. 2420 & Fla. Rules of App. Pro., 31 So.3d 756, 757 (Fla.2010) ().

Gonzales, 473 F.3d 979, 981 (9th Cir.2007), and we review the denial of a motion to reopen for abuse of discretion. Id. We grant the petition for review and remand for further proceedings. The agency erred in concluding that Chavez was precluded from filing a motion to reopen on the ground that he departed the United States after he was ordered deported. See id. at 982 ().

United States, — U.S. —, 137 S.Ct. 886, 197 L.Ed.2d 145 (2017), that the Guidelines are not subject to a vagueness challenge under the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. Id. at 892, 895, 897. The Court explained that, unlike the Armed Career Criminal Act’s residual clause, which was invalidated in Johnson v. United States, — U.S. —, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015), “§ 4B1.2(a)’s residual clause is not void for vagueness.” Id. at 895, 897. Hamilton’s Virginia conviction for unlawful wounding remains a crime of violence under the residual clause post-Rec/cfes, notwithstanding that the Government conceded in the district court that the residual clause was void for vagueness. See United States v. Lee, 855 F.3d 244, 247 (4th Cir. 2017) ().

Also, the state emphasizes that defendant does not contend that the 10-minute detention for the purpose of permitting the victim to make an identification was unlawful. The state argues that, under the circumstances, the police did not exploit or trade on the fact that they handcuffed defendant and put him in a patrol car to obtain the victim’s identification of him and that, therefore, the trial court correctly denied defendant’s motion to suppress. We agree with the state’s argument. The fact that the identification by the victim occurred after an illegal arrest does not automatically result in its exclusion from evidence if the identification would have occurred anyway as a result of the lawful stop. See generally State v. Rodriguez, 317 Or 27, 38-42, 854 P2d 399 (1993) ().

In this case, the State offered four photographs into evidence, two of which were of drugs and drug paraphernalia found in defendant’s home during the search. Two more, those at issue here, were of guns found in defendant’s house. Defendant, in essence, argues that he was prejudiced because people commonly associate guns with drug dealers, and as such, the jury in this case inferred that he was in fact a drug dealer from these photographs. This inference, however, is permissible. Boyd, 177 N.C. App. at 172, 628 S.E.2d at 803. See State v. Smith, 99 N.C.

Bowmar, Real Estate Interests as Security Under the UCC.: The Scope of Article Nine, 12 UCC L.J. 99, 107 (1979) (hereinafter Bowmar). In support of their position, the Alsups also cite to cases from other jurisdictions that have concluded that transactions involving security interests in real estate contracts, deeds of trust, mortgages, and leases are not subject to Article 9. See, e.g., Shuster v. Doane (In re Shuster), 784 F.2d 883 (8th Cir.1986) (applying Minnesota law held Article 9 did not apply to an assignment of a vendor’s interest in the real estate contract); First Nat’l Bank of Boston v.

Although the Club's complaint states a claim against the Minors for fraud, the Minors also argue that the small claims court properly dismissed the Club's fraud action because the action is against public policy,. The Minors argue that allowing the Club to recover the costs of an IATC sanction would discourage tavern owners from being careful when checking the identification of patrons and would undermine the legislature's efforts to place responsibility upon the tavern to prevent minors from entering the tavern. Aceord-ing to the Minors, every court to consider an action similar to the Club's fraud action against the Minors has rejected such an action on public policy grounds. Seq, eg., Sanctuary, Inc. v. Smith, 12 Kan.App.2d 38, 733 P.2d 839, 840 (1987) (); Ray's Liquors, Inc. v. Newland, 52 Ill.App.3d ### Response: holding that the strict regulatory policy expressed in the statute would be rendered less than strict if private clubs could pass on the costs of unknowing violations to minors in suits for fraud and allowing the club to recover the penalties imposed for the violation would undermine the legislatures policy of imposing an absolute duty upon the club " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: mistake, partiality, prejudice, or corruption is shown, or the damages appear to be grossly exorbitant. The verdict must be clearly and immoderately excessive to justify the granting of a new trial. The amount must not only be greater than that which the court would have awarded, but so excessive as to offend the conscience and judgment of the Court. Id. at 426 (quoting Stark v. Lehigh Foundries, 388 Pa. 1, 130 A.2d 123, 135 (1957)). In Mirabel v. Morales, 57 A.3d 144, 150-51 (Pa.Super.2012), this Court held that counsel’s references in closing argument to race appealed to the passions and prejudices of the jury, and were so egregious that no curative instruction could alleviate the taint, necessitating a new trial. See Mittleman v. Bartikowsky, 283 Pa. 485, 129 A. 566, 567 (1925) (). Dr. Schadt does not direct our attention to ### Response: holding that counsel calling the opposing party the newer slicker members of his race was so manifestly improper and so glaringly out of place in an orderly trial of the issue created in this case that we cannot say the verdict represents the decision of an impartial jury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in the course of mental health counseling. See id. at 561. Any threat of disclosure of such information would obstruct, if not bar, successful treatment. See McCormick § 98, at 447. Moreover, unwanted disclosure of highly personal information separately implicates one of the most fundamental tenets of all law—the right to privacy. Heemstra, 721 N.W.2d at 561. Thus, we are not just dealing with a strong belief recognized by statute, but a right with roots found in our constitution. The privilege necessarily recognizes a right to protect the privacy interests of the individual to keep private information from public disclosure, independent from the need for optimum medical treatment recognized by statute. See McMaster v. Bd. of Psychology Exam’rs, 509 N.W.2d 754, 758-59 (Iowa 1993) ().

II. Issues. Kircher raises two issues on appeal. The first deals with error preservation while the second deals with whether Bolt was qualified to testify as to generally accepted CPA auditing standards, whether the accountant breached those standards, and causation. III. Error Preservation. A ruling sustaining a motion in limine is generally not an evidentiary ruling. Twyford v. Weber, 220 N.W.2d 919, 923 (Iowa 1974). Rather, a ruling sustaining a motion in limine simply adds a procedural step to the introduction of allegedly objectionable evidence. Id.; accord Johnson v. Interstate Power Co., 481 N.W.2d 310, 317 (Iowa 1992) ().

The exhaustion requirement of IDEA is not required in certain circumstances. Where the plaintiff is not seeking relief “also available” under the IDEA, exhaustion is not a prerequisite to the filing of a civil action. Blanchard v. Morton Sch.

Dist., 308 F.3d 1047, 1049-50 (9th Cir.2002) (plaintiff cannot avoid exhaustion requirement merely by limiting relief to money damages, which is not available under IDEA). Exhaustion is not required where educational issues are not at dispute.

While the parties, the trial court, and the intermediate appellate court in this case have focused on the concept of qualified judicial immunity, no such doctrine has been adopted by the Maryland Court of Appeals. See Parker, 337 Md. at 283, 653 A.2d at 442 ().

B. Antitrust Liability Under The Sherman Act. CAI argues that VIPA is immune from antitrust liability under the Sherman Act as a result of the doctrine of governmental immunity. As defendant CAI correctly notes, virtually all levels of government have been granted some degree of immunity from the operation of antitrust law generally and the Sherman Act specifically. See Sea Land Service v. Alaska Railroad, 659 F.2d 243 (D.C.Cir.1981), cert. denied 455 U.S. 919, 102 S.Ct. 1274, 71 L.Ed.2d 459 (1982) (); Parker v.

However, the Mays filed a response to the Medical Center’s motion for summary judgment wherein they raised the misnomer issue and asserted, somewhat inartfully, that the Medical Center had been acting as the Auxiliary when it engaged in discovery. And the transcript of the hearing reveals that the trial court was clearly aware of all of the arguments being made. Thus we are not persuaded by the Medical Center’s preservation argument. Cf. Corya v. Sanders, 76 So.3d 31, 33 (Fla. 4th DCA 2011) ().

The statute provides a cause of action to “[w]hoever shall be injured in his business or property by reason of any violation of [section 8(b)(4)].” Once again, however, the courts have declined to give a literal meaning to the words of the statute, and in this context have set far more restrictive “standing” requirements than the statutory language, taken alone, would support. See Fulton v. Plumbers & Steamfitters, 695 F.2d 402 (9th Cir.1982), petition for cert. filed, 51 U.S.L.W. 3775 (U.S., March 25, 1983) (No. 82-1678) ().

Mr. Comer describes the conditions of his confinement in nothing short of Orwellian terms. He tells us that he is in “sensory deprivation,” has no access to legal materials, is permitted nothing in his cell, and must walk continuously for fear of becoming a “veggie.” Mr. Comer’s choice between execution at the State’s hands and remaining in the particular conditions of his confinement may be the type of “Hobson’s choice” that renders his supposed decision to withdraw his appeal involuntary.

Comity concerns are particularly compelling on the facts of this case. Because the very existence of continuing property interests in these high-level political appointments implicates these difficult Commonwealth constitutional questions, the authority to remove these officials — and so the necessity of pre-deprivation procedures — may be obscure prior to litigation.

The majority opines that “if the employee [in the four cases cited supra] cannot meet the lesser burden of proof required in the workmen’s [sic] compensation action, then he should not be given another opportunity to prevail in a civil action.” (Majority opinion at 507.) The identical argument could, however, be raised instantly: 96); Liberty Baking Co. v. Com., W.C.A.B., 63 Pa.Cmwlth. 517, , 439 A.2d 1276, 1279 (1981) ().

Had these two accrual provisions not been reconcilable by construing the scheme as a whole, however, subsection 108(4), as the more specific of the two, would nevertheless prevail. See § 24-205. In Regional Transportation District v. Voss, we acknowledged and applied a rule favoring the application of the longer, rather than the shorter, of two equally applicable statutes of limitation. 890 P.2d 663, 668 (Colo.1995). Much like analogous rules of choice applicable to statutes or contractual provisions in other contexts, this rule is a rule of last resort. See id.; cf. People v. Thoro Prods.

Moreover, the Class Complaint is silent as to how IAC’s decision to remit tax on the wholesale price it paid for rooms, rather than on the full retail price paid by customers, contributed to the deterioration of its relationships with hotel chains or customers. Although the Complaint advances other alleged misstatements (CC ¶¶ 44-48, 53, 56, 57-59, 74), none of these are accompanied by particularized facts explaining-why plaintiffs believe that the statements were fraudulent.

Addressing the separation of powers question, the Court concluded: ‘In considering the question as to separation of the departments, we are to bear in mind that the Declaration of Rights is not to be construed by itself, according to its literal meaning; it and the Constitution compose our form of government, and they must be interpreted as one instrument....

The Federal Circuit in First Hartford held: [Such exceptions include suits] by an intended third-party beneficiary, by a subcontractor by means of a pass-through suit when the prime contractor is liable to the subcontractor for the subcontractor’s dam ages, and by a Miller Act surety for funds improperly disbursed to a prime contractor. However, the common thread that unites these exceptions is that the party standing outside of privity by contractual obligation stands in the shoes of a party within privity. 194 F.3d at 1289 (citations omitted) (footnote added); see also Alpine County, Cal. v.

(PI. Aff. ¶ 11; PI. Dep. 108:11-113:10.) Viewing the facts in the light most favorable to Plaintiff, whether Trooper Nolan even had probable cause to arrest her is questionable, and there is no indication that she was trying to resist arrest. Plaintiff visited the hospital following her departure from the police barracks, and complained of injuries including bruised wrists. (PL Dep. 196:12-197:10, 201:13-19.) She also testified that she informed the hospital staff that she had sustained an injury to hear head and knees. (Pl. Dep. 194:6-197:10.) A reasonable jury could find that no force was warranted, and that forcibly removing Plaintiff from her car and handcuffing her was excessive force.

See 15 U.S.C. § 1071(b). Although PLM is nominally the “plaintiff and counter-defendant” on the case caption, it is Prolacto who initiated the overall legal dispute here. Moreover, Prolacto has elected to cross-appeal to this Court for further review of the TTAB’s findings, as well as assert stand-alone causes of action under federal law and D.C. common law. Thus, Prolacto has availed itself of not only United States law, but of District of Columbia law. A party that chooses to initiate litigation and invoke the legal protections of the forum should expect to appear for deposition in that jurisdiction. See Cobell v.

Thus, the problem with the order of the district court before us boils down to a matter of standard of review. Had the district court applied de novo review to the magistrate judge’s order, we would have no need to remand the case. See United States v. Weissberger, 951 F.2d 392, 398 (D.C.Cir.1991) (finding that the magistrate judge exceeded her authority but that any defect was cured by the district court’s de novo review of the original order). However, in its analysis, the district court repeatedly underscored its deferential stance with regard to the magistrate judge’s order. There is simply no way to read the district court’s analysis as a product of its independent judgment. Therefore, we must vacate the district court’s order and remand. See Ocelot Oil, 847 F.2d at 1464 ().

Statom seems to argue that Reiswerg’s liability somehow established joint and several liability of CGG and that CGG waived its statute of limitations defense by failing to ""raise the statute of limitations defense or any defense to Reiswerg's liability.” Appellee's Brief at 21 (emphasis added). However, Indiana courts have recognized that ""[wjaiver is usually a matter of personal privilege; it must be made by the person whose rights or remedies are to be affected.” In re S.L., 599 N.E.2d 227, 229 (Ind.Ct.App.1992); see also Wabash Grain, Inc. v.

Regarding this last factor, the district court noted that the disparities among the sentences that the court had imposed on the co-defendants were attributable to a number of factors, including that each defendant had different ist the government may receive sentence reductions. See Vázquez-Rivera, 470 F.3d at 449 (finding the defendant’s sentence not to be unreasonable “simply because his co-defendants agreed to help the government in exchange for reduced sentences”); United States v.

The Court could continue on in this vein, but it should by now be obvious that it takes an expert to make sense of the slides and the literature in the record. Petitioner’s expert witness identifies objects as one thing, and respondent’s expert says they are something else. The Special Master found Dr. RorkeAdams to be more credible than Dr. Shane and provided a detailed explanation for this finding. See Nordwall, 2008 WL 857661, at *8-9.

Rule 28.03 provides that counsel must make specific objections to instructions considered erroneous before the jury retires, stating distinctly the matter objected to and the grounds of the objection. It also provides that the objections must be raised in the motion for new trial in accordance with Rule 29.11. Assignments of error cannot be broadened or changed by raising them for the first time on appeal. State v. Howard, 896 S.W.2d 471, 493 (Mo.App.S.D.1995). See also State v.

Thus, the dispositive question is not whether Brown and Hall dealt with each other, but whether each of them participated in the overall conspiracy. We are persuaded that the evidence is sufficient to demonstrate to a rational trier of fact beyond a reasonable doubt that Hall and Brown were participants in a conspiracy that furthered a common scheme to supply large quantities of drugs in a haven to meet the demand of their customers. C Brown asserts that “there was insufficient evidence that [he] possessed, much , whereas Brown’s convictions began in 1991, only six years prior to the beginning of the conspiracy charged at trial.

As explained above, a sheriff or his deputies are state executive officers under the Constitution of the State of Alabama. Ala. Const., art. V, § 112. “Suits against these officials in their official capacities are effectively suits against the entity that those officials represent.” Free v. Granger, 887 F.2d 1552, 1557 (11th Cir.1989). Consequently, in the present case, the § 1983 claim against Deputy Sheriff Hancock, as a state officer, makes the State of Alabama a real party in interest. See Free, 887 F.2d at 1557.

The Tenth Circuit reversed, concluding the case was moot at the time the district court had entered its judgment and therefore the district court lacked jurisdiction to enter judgment in a moot case. 949 F.2d at 1095. Unlike the case before us, Beattie was moot before the district court even ruled on it. The Court of Appeals properly concluded no judgment could enter on an already moot case. In Tosco, the Tenth Circuit addressed only briefly the issue of vacatur. It did not illustrate why vacatur was appropriate in that ease but rather cited two distinguishable Supreme Court eases without explanation of their applicability. 826 F.2d at 948 (citing Iron Arrow Honor Society v.

The trial court’s findings of fact 9-11 and conclusions of law 3-7 show that the trial court based its segregation ruling on both of these legal standards. We conclude that the two legal standards advocated by Britannia are not proper under current Texas law and that Air Routing’s position regarding the legal standard is correct. Britannia correctly asserts that several courts of appeals, in applying the Sterling standard, have compared the essential elements of the claims in question.

While intentional homicides are treated the same as aggravatedly wanton homicides — both being murder — for purposes of determining a defendant’s culpability, that does not mean that the mental states are the same. 8 . Roark went on to say, however, that the fact that the defendant murdered the kidnapping victim could be used to satisfy the require ment of proving a statutory aggravating circumstance under KRS 532.025. That conclusion is questionable in light of this Court's reading of that statute in St. Clair's most recent appeal. See St. Clair Bullitt II, 451 S.W.3d at 643, 649-50, ().

It is therefore highly questionable whether the Property’s use as a club was subordinate to its use as a restaurant. However, the use of the Property as a venue for its patrons to engage in sexual activity is certainly not customary and incidental to its use as a restaurant. MAJ bore the burden of proving that the use of the Property for patrons’ sexual activity was an accessory use to the Property’s use as a restaurant. See Smith v.

Accordingly, the trial court’s order is reversed in this respect and this action remanded for further proceedings. 2.

Appellants sought a permanent and interlocutory injunction prohibiting the Garden “from causing the arrest or prosecution” of licensed individuals who carry weapons at the facility. As Appellants recognize on appeal, however, the Garden is not a government entity and it lacks the power to administer the criminal law. Because the Garden lacks the authority to administer the criminal law, enjoining the Garden from “causing” an arrest or prosecution would be fruitless. See generally State v.

Non-Delegation The Constitution provides that “[a]ll legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States.” U.S. Const, art. I, § 1 (emphasis added). Consistent with this text and the principle of separation of powers, the non-delegation doctrine generally permits “no delegation” of legislative powers to another branch of government. Whitman v. Am. Trucking Ass’ns, 581 U.S. 457, 472, 121 S.Ct. 908, 149 L.Ed.2d 1 (2001); see also Mistretta v. United States, 488 U.S. 361, 371-72, 109 S.Ct. 647, 102 L.Ed.2d 714 (1989). Among Congress’s legislative powers is the authority to determine the temporal scope of a statute. See, e.g., City of New York v. Permanent Mission of India to the U.N., 618 F.3d 172, 195 (2d Cir.2010) (). That determination is particularly ### Response: recognizing congresss responsibility for fundamental policy judgments concerning the proper temporal reach of statutes quoting landgraf v usi film prods 511 us 244 273 114 sct 1483 128 led2d 229 1994 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: address as 55-03 Van Doren Street; such repetition of one address indicated that the applications might include fraudulent statements; and he ordered all files in the file cabinets seized — even the ones that he had not individually searched. These actions bear none of the hallmarks of a general search: They suggest a fairly systematic inventory, not “indiscriminate rummaging,” and a search for items enumerated in the warrant, not an “exploratory” search for items not mentioned there. Indeed, federal courts have repeatedly held that such actions as were taken by the INS agents in this case, standing alone, do not support a finding that government agents have flagrantly disregarded the terms of a warrant. See, e.g., United States v. Hargus, 128 F.3d 1358, 1363 (10th Cir.1997) () (collecting cases). Accordingly, even assuming ### Response: holding that where government agents were authorized by a warrant to search for broad categories of documentary evidence and records belonging to each category were found in every drawer of some file cabinets the officers did not grossly exceed the terms of the warrant when they seized entire file cabinets so that complete suppression was required " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: one of ADVA’s statutory duties is to assist veterans in presenting and pursuing claims against the United States for veteran’s benefits arising under laws of the United States or of Alabama if that veteran has given ADVA a power of attorney. Ala. Code § 31—5—4; see also Ala. Admin. Code r. 920-X-3-.01. But, an allegation that ADVA made an improper misrepresentation amounts to a negligence or legal malpractice claim, just as an allegation of improper medical care would amount to a medical malpractice claim. And, “[a] malpractice [claim] will not lie under [Section] 1983” because it is a claim arising under state common law—not a constitutional violation. Bass v. Sullivan, 550 F.2d 229, 232 (5th Cir.1977); see also Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97, 106, 97 S.Ct. 285, 50 L.Ed.2d 251 (1976) ().

This distinction is important because the BIA’s reopening of a case vacates the final order of removal and reopens the administrative removal proceedings. See id. During administrative removal proceedings, the government has the burden of proving by “clear and convincing evidence” that the petitioner is subject to removal on the basis of his convictions. 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(3)(A); see also Pickering v. Gonzales, 454 F.3d 525, 527 (6th Cir.2006) (concluding that, once the petitioner produces evidence that his conviction has been vacated, “the [pjetitioner is deportable only if the* government can show, with clear, convincing and unequivocal evidence, that the conviction was vacated solely for immigration reasons”); Cruz-Garza v.

We agree with Guy Carpenter. The expiration of the one-year contract limit does not make this issue moot. If this Court remands, the district court has the power under Texas law to craft an injunction that extends beyond the expiration of the non-solicitation covenant. Exercising this equitable power might be particularly appropriate given the district court’s year-long delay before ruling on the motion to reconsider. We note that neither case Provenzale cites in support of his mootness argument is relevant to the facts of this case. See Hi-Line Electric Co. v. Dowco Electrical Products, 765 F.2d 1359, 1363 (5th Cir.1985) (); John R. Ray & Sons, Inc. v. Stroman, 923 ### Response: holding an appeal of injunction moot where the injunction expired three months before the appellate court heard arguments in the case " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: consumers from this nuisance and privacy invasion.” Id.

They wake us up in the morning; they interrupt our dinner at night; they force the sick and elderly out of bed; they hound us until we want to rip the telephone right out of the wall.” Mims, 132 S.Ct. at 752. Initially, the Court notes that several district courts, including district courts within the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, have held that a plaintiff demonstrates a violation of privacy interests, and therefore an injury-in-fact, after receiving automated calls. See, e.g., Schumacher v. Credit Prot. Ass’n, No. 4:13-CV-164, 2015 WL 5786139 (S.D.Ind. Sept. 30, 2015) (); Ikuseghan v.

Constructive knowledge. The government argues that Bertucco had “reason to know” of the presence of dyed fuel because (i) he signed the stamped ticket, and (ii) as a matter of settled law, his act of signing the ticket charged him with constructive knowledge of its contents. The district court agreed: Here, regardless of whether Bertucco ... paused to read the whole delivery ticket, [he] had constructive knowledge of the presence of dyed diesel by virtue of the “RED DYED” stamp. ConEd, 34 F.Supp.2d at 165. The district court equated constructive knowledge with “reason to know,” an equation the parties do not contest, and that is consistent with precedent. See, e.g., Holzapfel v. Town of Newburgh, 145 F.3d 516, 524 (2d Cir.1998) (); Hayman, 992 F.2d at 1262. In general, ### Response: holding that constructive knowledge satisfies the reason to know standard " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: withstand a motion to dismiss should be denied. Richardson v. United States, 193 F.3d 545, 548-49 (D.C.Cir.1999). The second amended complaint does not cure the deficiencies outlined in the proceeding text of this opinion; however, the plaintiffs maintain that ""§ 1983 claims brought against city officials in their personal capacity are not subject to the exhaustion requirement.” Pls.' Supp. Mem. at 4 n. 2. But, there appears to be no basis in law for this distinction. See Johnson v. Dist. of Columbia, 368 F.Supp.2d 30, 34 (D.D.C.2005) (maintaining claims against defendants in their individual capacities because District of Columbia's motion to dismiss explicitly restricted scope of motion to defendants in their official capacities); Runkle v. Gonzales, 391 F.Supp.2d 210 (D.D.C.2005) (). The court, therefore, denies the plaintiffs' ### Response: holding that constitutional claims against defendants in their individual capacities were precluded by plaintiffs failure to exhaust administrative remedies under pertinent statutory scheme " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in order “to protect the public from the possibility that a revolver would fall into untrained or perhaps malicious hands.” Id. at 443, 93 S.Ct. 2523. Because the search was a result of a function “totally divorced from the detection, investigation, or acquisition of evidence relating to the violation of a criminal statute,” it was permissible. Id. at 441, 93 S.Ct. 2523. Although Dombrowski involved the search of a vehicle, some lower courts have relied on the community caretaking rationale in upholding warrantless searches of homes. United States v. Quezada, 448 F.3d 1005, 1007 (8th Cir.2006); United States v. Stafford, 416 F.3d 1068, 1073 (9th Cir.2005); United States v. Rohrig, 98 F.3d 1506, 1521-22 (6th Cir.1996).

A shakedown is a routine procedure on the RHU, wherein corrections officers search inmates' cells for contraband. (Barnes Dep. 18:16-19:1.) 2 . 42 U.S.C. § 1985 requires the action of ""two or more persons.” 3 . To the extent that Plaintiff is arguing the Defendant Macon had a history of making racially inappropriate comments (see Doc. 32, Ex. SS, TT, UU), Barnes has not shown that any of those comments were made toward him or ever even heard or perceived by him. Even if Barnes did hear of these incidents second-hand, they would not be sufficient to create a hostile work environment. See Caver, 420 F.3d at 263 (). 4 . The Third Circuit Court of Appeals has ### Response: holding that plaintiff cannot meet hostile work environment threshold simply by pointing to comments directed at other individuals " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: activities of Cooper’s enterprise affected interstate commerce. See, e.g., Keltner, 147 F.3d at 669 (interstate commerce requirement satisfied when defendants traveled between several states and committed some of the RICO predicate acts in another state); United States v. Norton, 867 F.2d 1354 (11th Cir.1989) (interstate commerce requirement satisfied when group members traveled between states to discuss and carry out RICO conspiracy). Second, Cooper argues no enterprise was in existence in 1993. However, every enterprise begins somewhere. There is no requirement that an enterprise be in existence before the first predicate act is committed as long as that first act relates to and is continuous with the subsequent acts in the pattern. See H.J., Inc., 492 U.S. at 239, 109 S.Ct. 2893 (), Cooper’s third argument, that the Griffin ### Response: holding that racketeering predicates must be related and amount to or pose a threat of continued criminal activity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (1987) (noting that the plaintiffs decision to sue only under the state law theory, eschewing a claim under the CBA, was entitled to deference under the well-pleaded complaint rule). Regardless of whether this choice serves them well on the merits, it is entitled to deference under the well-pleaded complaint rule. Id. (“Caterpillar’s basic error is its failure to recognize that a plaintiff covered by a collective-bargaining agreement is permitted to assert legal rights independent of that agreement, including state-law contact rights, so long as the contract relied upon is not a collective bargaining agreement”). If Plaintiffs do not wish to press their additional CBA rights in this case, federal law does not force them to do so. Rice v. Panchal, 65 F.3d 637, 639, 646 (7th Cir.1995) (); Chavez v.

Accordingly, I respectfully dissent. 1 . This sentence represents the entirety of the state court’s factual findings regarding the parties' private interests in this case. As discussed infra, however, the district court described these findings differently in its order. 2 . Plaintiffs' interest in being present for trial is a private interest weighing in favor of ' Plaintiffs' choice of forum which should be considered separate and apart from the issue of whether Guatemala provides an adequate forum.

See Griffin, 483 U.S. at 876, 107 S.Ct. 3164. In Samson, the Supreme Court held that the state had a legitimate supervisory interest in warrantless, suspicionless searches of parolees. Samson, 126 S.Ct. at 2200-01. Specifically, this interest was considered legitimate because parolees are more likely to commit crimes in the future, and expeditious supervisory measures are required in order to prevent parolees from having the opportunity to “anticipate searches and conceal criminality.” Id. at 2201. This rationale finds foundation in the impracticability of obtaining a search warrant, a rationale similar to the underlying motivation used to support the administrative or “special needs” exception. See Schmerber, 384 U.S. at 770, 86 S.Ct. 1826 ().

That issues of fact remain as to the neutrality of the application of TDCJ’s volunteer policy differentiates this case from those we have previously considered.

The solicitor’s improper comments prevented petitioner from having the jury fairly consider the possible sentencing alternatives. Further, the jury instructions failed to cure the prejudice caused by these comments. Thus, because the probability for prejudice is great, we grant petitioner a new trial on the burglary charge.

The administrator removed the suit to federal district court. Id. at 974. The district court dismissed the suit on the ground that Cedars-Sinai’s claims were preempted by the Federal Employee Health Benefits Act (“FEHBA”), 5 U.S.C. § 8901. FEHBA and ERISA are different federal statutes, but their preemption provisions are analytically similar. See, e.g., Botsford v.

We conclude that this determination was an unreasonable determination of the facts because the prosecutor failed to offer any credible justification for striking Jurors 016 and 019.

Indeed, Juror 019 informed the court that she was a retired nurse with seven grown children, the youngest of which had five children of her own. A prosecutor supplied with this information could not credibly identify Juror 019 as young. This incorrect factual statement supports Collins’ argument that the prosecutor was not credible.

Jordan’s Meats, Inc., 456 F.3d 228, 240 (1st Cir.2006) (emphasis added). The Azimi court noted that this rule allows a plaintiff to avoid the tactical dilemma that occurs when a plaintiff is forced to choose between asking for only compensatory damages and risking a zero-dollar verdict, on one hand, or requesting a nominal damages instruction and giving the jury an easy “out” on the other hand. Id. Miller argues that this is the dilemma he faced. Before addressing the tactical dilemma issue, it must first be noted that, although .the First Circuit has adopted an exception to Rule 51(c)(2), many circuits that have addressed similar issues have declined to do so. See Oliver v. Falla, 258 F.3d 1277, 1282 (11th Cir.2001) (); Piaubert v.

This evidence, even when viewed in the light most favorable to appellee, does not raise a fact issue as to the existence of actual malice. The evidence, which we have reviewed in its entirety, shows only that the legal department took a protracted amount of time to review Women on Trial. It does not show that the legal review was based on fears that statements in the documentary were untrue and were known to be untrue by those involved in the production. Appellee’s suspicions about the reasons appellant’s legal department chose to “continuously” review the film and decided to indemnify Joseph Feu-ry Productions, Inc. is not sufficient to raise a material issue of fact.

A “weapon” is defined in section 790.001(13) as “any dirk, knife, metallic knuckles, slungshot, billie, tear gas gun, chemical weapon or device, or other deadly weapon.” § 790.001(13), Fla. Stat. (2008) (emphasis added). Again, since a BB gun is not enumerated, in order to be prohibited under section 790.115(2), the subsection charged, it must be a deadly weapon. See Hutchinson v. State, 816 So.2d 1186, 1187 (Fla. 2d DCA 2002) (reversing conviction for robbery with a weapon, to wit a starter pistol, because the starter pistol did not fall within the definition of weapon supplied in section 790.001(13), unless the pistol was considered deadly, and there was no evidence to support such a finding); Mitchell v.

The record does not compel the opposite conclusion. See, e.g., Pal v. INS, 204 F.3d 935, 938 (9th Cir.2000). Further, the IJ found that even if Anura had been credible in his account of the alleged threatening incidents, they would not have amounted to past persecution. Threats standing alone “constitute past persecution in only a small category of cases, and only when the threats are so menacing as to cause significant actual ‘suffering or harm.’ ” Lim v. INS, 224 F.3d 929, 936 (9th Cir.2000) ().

The fact that an inmate law clerk was assisting in drafting the state petition does not relieve Mr. Marsh from the personal responsibility of complying with the law. See Henderson v. Johnson, 1 F.Supp.2d 650, 655 (N.D.Tex.1998) (noting that although inmate had received assistance from fellow inmate, he could have filed the petition himself at any time); see also Steed, 219 F.3d 1298, 1300 ().

Although Scarborough was a possession case rather than a receipt case, the Court noted parenthetically that there was no congressional intent to support a distinction between the two: “Congress was not particularly concerned with the impact on commerce except as a means to insure the constitutionality of Title VII.... All indications are that Congress meant to reach possessions broadly.” Id. at 575 n. 11, 97 S.Ct. at 1969 n. 11. See also United States v. Lopez, 2 F.3d 1342, 1347 (5th Cir.1994) (); United States v.

Mr. Ragonese strenuously argues that it was not, based upon the Falcones’ knowledge of certain facts, including the incompleteness of the project, Mr. Ragonese’s history of absence from the project, and the threatened subcontractor’s lien. Although Mr. Ragonese argues cursorily in his brief that the bankruptcy court erred in finding that his misrepresentations caused the Falcones’ loss, he excluded this issue from his Statement of Issues. During oral argument, Mr. Ra-gonese admitted that he had not raised the causation issue below and that he included it in his brief on appeal essentially as an afterthought. We therefore deem the causation issue waived. See City Sanitation, LLC v. Burdick (In re Am. Cartage, Inc.), 438 B.R. 1, 9-10 (D.Mass.2010) ().

However, contradiction of collateral facts by other evidence is not permitted, as its only effect would be to show that the witness is capable of error on immaterial points, and to allow it would confuse the issues and unduly prolong the trial. State v. Kimble, 140 N.C. App. 153, 167, 535 S.E.2d 882, 891 (2000) (citations and quotation marks omitted), cert. denied, 360 N.C. 178, 626 S.E.2d 833 (2005). While the denial of a conviction may be contradicted by extrinsic evidence from a public record, the facts surrounding prior convictions will normally be collateral, and extrinsic evidence is inadmissible if used solely to contradict the witness’ denial of such collateral matters. See State v. Dalton, 96 N.C. App. 65, 70, 384 S.E.2d 573, 576 (1989) (); State v.

Owens also stated that the Eidsons’ son had “turned [them] in,” Aplt. App. at 359, when in fact, the mother and grandmother of their son’s girlfriend had contacted law enforcement. Owens’ statement may have led the Eidsons to think that resistance to a search would have been futile, as their unlawful conduct had been exposed by someone with direct knowledge of it. See United States v. Escobar, 389 F.3d 781, 786 (8th Cir.2004) ().

A title VII employer has actual knowledge of harassment that is known to “higher management” or to someone who has the power to take action to remedy the problem. See Nash, 9 F.3d at 404. The “management” and “remedial power” standards blur together, however, when we examine who may be considered “management,” for to be considered a “manager,” a person must have the ability to exert control over employees. This includes someone with the power not only to hire and fire the offending employee but also to take disciplinary action, to provide significant input into employment decisions, to instruct the offending employee to cease the harassing behavior, or to implement other means of taking remedial action. See Williamson, 148 F.3d at 466 () ; Nash, 9 F.3d at 404; Wattman, 875 F.2d at ### Response: holding that employer includes supervisor with some authority to address the harassment problem in organization with strong chain of command where supervisor could direct offender to cease and discipline if offender failed to comply " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 621 (2005), to conduct a full resentencing hearing and to impose a non-guideline sentence guided only by the sentencing goals set out in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) (2006). He acknowledges that U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 1B1.10, p.s. (2008) limits the scope of the proceeding and the extent of the reduction the district court may make under § 3582(c)(2), but contends. that, after Booker, this policy statement must be regarded as advisory, not mandatory. We affirm. We review an order granting or denying a § 3582(c)(2) motion for abuse of discretion. United States v. Munn, 595 F.3d 183, 186 (4th Cir.2010). Lara-Alvarez’s claim is without merit because Booker is inapplicable to § 3582(c)(2) proceedings. See Dillon v. United States, — U.S. -, 130 S.Ct. 2683, 2693-94, 177 L.Ed.2d 271 (2010) (); see also United States v.

Like a switch from a dealership to a “tight agency” or a restructuring that leaves only the premium business in the dealer’s hands, a termination is surely a “change” in the parties’ relationship. Section 135.03 itself does not distinguish, for purposes of the good cause requirement, among actions that “terminate, cancel, fail to renew or substantially change” the dealership agreement. Thus, if Rexnord was entitled to argue that its own economic circumstances constituted good cause for its attempted change and its ultimate termination of Ziegler’s dealership, we see no logical reason why Zenith cannot attempt to do the same with respect to Morley-Murphy’s dealership.

Moreover, contribution regulations need not take the form of absolute dollar limits in order to prompt First Amendment scrutiny; by increasing the effort required to engage in political speech, restrictions on the permissible methods of funding such speech implicate free expression as well. See FEC v. Mass. Citizens for Life, Inc., 479 U.S. 238, 252, 107 S.Ct. 616, 93 L.Ed.2d 539 (1986) (recognizing a burden on speech when legislation allowed the plaintiff to make political expenditures only from a segregated fund); Pocatello Educ.

The Downstream Purchasers bought and sold oil and gas on credit with the Debtors agreeing to pay the following month. Although the Downstream Purchasers did not pay for the oil on the sale date, they gave “new value” in the form of a promise to pay, increasing the Debtors’ accounts receivable. This increase in accounts receivable is considered “new value.” See In re Black Diamond Mining Co., 2011 WL 6202905, at *24 ().

We overrule appellant’s first point of error. Rule 2 instrument in writing, the damages shall be assessed by the court, or under its direction, unless the defendant demands and is entitled to a trial by jury. Tex.R.Civ.P. 241. A claim is liquidated if the amount of damages may be accurately calculated by the trial court from the factual, as opposed to the conclu-sory, allegations in plaintiffs petition and the instrument in writing. Novosad v. Cunningham, 38 S.W.3d 767, 773 (Tex.App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 2001, no pet. h.) (); Mantis v.

Youngberg expressly states that a court must “make certain that professional judgment in fact was exercised ” in attempting to protect the rights of an involuntarily committed individual. 457 U.S. at 321, 102 S.Ct. 2452 (emphasis added) (quotation omitted). As other courts have recognized, in order for this requirement to have any substance, it cannot be met purely at the systemic level; rather, professional judgments must be implemented in a timely fashion. See, e.g., Thomas S., 902 F.2d at 252 (); Halderman v. Pennhurst, 901 F.2d 311, 324 (3d ### Response: holding that district court properly imposed liability because it found that many of the decisions of the treating professionals had not been implemented and found areas in which the decisions of the treating professional substantially departed from accepted standards " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: any evidence that CHL or McLennan relied upon AEC’s service letters or bulletins or that those letters and bulletins increased the risk to McLennan in any way. To the contrary, both CHL and McLennan ignored those warnings, and the record does not support any reasonable inference that AEC’s service letters and bulletins were misleading or that they masked the potential for danger in any way. We conclude that AEC did not owe McLennan any negligence-based, post-sale duty to warn. Even if McLennan were able to establish the applicability of either the Bradshaw duty or the negligent undertaking theory, any such duty would still be subject to the principle that there is no need to warn of dangers that are generally known. See In re Air Crash at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, 919 F.2d at 1085 (); see also Argubright, 868 F.2d at 766; Hagans, ### Response: holding in a negligence action that the air traffic controllers failure to warn of an impending danger cannot be the proximate cause of an injury after the pilot himself discovered its presence appreciated the danger and decided to fly ahead into it " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: assert, there is no difference, under the circumstances of the case at bar, between a false imprisonment and false arrest claim, the inclusion of both theories in the complaint will make no difference. If, on the other hand, there is a difference, then plaintiffs are entitled to assert both claims. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(e)(2) (authorizing alternative claims, and alternative statements of claims, regardless of consistency). The motion to dismiss the false arrest claim will be denied. IX Finally, the City challenges plaintiffs’ claim for an award of punitive damages against the City, noting that punitive damages are not available against a city under the relevant federal or state law. See e.g., City of Newport v. Fact Concerts, Inc., 453 U.S. 247, 101 S.Ct. 2748, 69 L.Ed.2d 616 (1981) (); § 768.28(5), Fla. Stat.

Id. at 378-80, 113 S.Ct. at 2139. Applying these principles to the present case, we find that the officers properly stopped the car and properly initiated a pat-down search of Jackson. Further, we find that Officer Thompson properly removed the container from Jackson's pocket. We find, however, that Officer Thompson violated Jackson's fourth amendment rights when he seized the contents of the container, the identity of which was not ""immediately apparent"" to him. First, the officers were clearly justified in stopping the car for the traffic infraction. See Black v. State, 621 N.E.2d 368, 370 (Ind.Ct.App.1993) (); Walker v.

The order was, however, mailed to every court in which Butler had been admitted to practice. Thus, the injury Butler may claim is the damage widely done to his professional reputation. The question of whether we have jurisdiction to hear this appeal, therefore, distills to the question of when, if ever, an order thus affecting an attorney’s professional reputation imposes a legally sufficient injury to support appellate jurisdiction. For the reasons detailed below, we hold that it does. Heretofore we have not directly addressed this question. See id. at 1040 ().

It is undisputed in this case that there was actual force used in restraining and arresting Mr. Cunningham. The evidence presented at the trial demonstrated that the bodily contact was offensive in nature. Therefore, plaintiff has established the first two prongs of the test for a battery — namely, he has proved that there was bodily contact that was offensive in nature. Plaintiff must also prove that the offensive contact was “made with intent.” While the plaintiff must prove intentional contact, he “is not required to prove an intention to cause the specific injuries resulting from the contact.” Masters v. Becker, 22 A.D.2d 118, 120, 254 N.Y.S.2d 633, 635 (2d Dep’t 1964); see also Lambertson v. United States, 528 F.2d at 441 ().

Stat. § 160A-49(e) (1994) (describing the final step in municipality’s annexation process as enactment of an ordinance). Furthermore, the distinct usage of the terms within the annexation laws also leads us to believe that a resolution of intent is more in the nature of a proposed ordinance. A resolution is used by a municipality as an early step looking to enactment of the annexation ordinance. See N.C. Gen. Stat. § 160A-37(a) (1994); see also Asheville Industries, Inc. v.

The scope of Title VII’s private right of action therefore depends on whether Congress intended to insulate such an action from prudential concerns. A number of courts have considered whether prudential concerns limit standing under Title VII and have denied standing to plaintiffs alleging injury because of third-party discrimination.

Defendants’ argument that there is no express or implied private right of action under the Illinois Prizes and Gifts Act is also misplaced. Plaintiff is alleging the common law tort of retaliatory discharge, not an implied or express statutory private right of action. See Bea v.

The alimony statute, S.C.Code Ann. § 20-3-130, was amended in 1990 to expressly provide for life insurance on the supporting spouse for the benefit of the supported spouse.

Plaintiffs’ third cause of action therefore withstands the VOA defendants’ motion to dismiss. We remand to the district court to decide whether to exercise supplemental jurisdiction over this claim.

The Board’s findings and conclusions only cite one reason for granting Redland nonconforming rights — the preexisting leases. But Redland argued two alternative theories before the Board — actual, preexisting use and the diminishing asset doctrine. Redland argues that under Murmur, we must uphold the Board’s decision if there is evidence from which the Board could have granted nonconforming rights based on the latter two grounds, even though the Board only cited the preexisting leases in its findings and conclusions. We rejected this argument on original submission and held instead that we may affirm on a ground not cited by the Board only if we conclude that ground applies as a matter of law.

Each year, the major collections firms handle tens of thousands of payments on behalf of their clients. Requiring clients to endorse each monthly payment would require an extraordinary amount of effort, reduce the efficiency at both the client’s and firm’s office, and as a result, significantly increase the client’s costs. In addition, such a practice would likely delay the deposit of payments and thereby increase the number of insufficiently-funded checks. Although those circumstances are decidedly different from the examples set forth in IMO Opinion 635, there is no language in that opinion indicating that the extraordinary circumstances enu merated therein were intended to be exhaustive.

We also agree with the Commission that the ease is not moot because the substantial rights of the parties will be affected. Our ruling will determine whether DeNis-co’s disciplinary record will reflect the terms of the original judgment or the reduced period of probation. See Pinnacle Gas Treating, Inc. v.

However, the award of appellate attorneys’ fees in this case is predicated on section 305.005 of the Finance Code, not section 38.001 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code. This court has previously held that section 38.004 cannot be used to justify the reasonableness of attorneys’ fees recovered outside of section 38.001. See Valdez v.

A reading with other statutory sections does not reveal inconsistencies. No ambiguity exists. The ICWA assigns exclusive jurisdiction over an Indian child who resides or is domiciled within the reservation to the tribe.

Glover contends that Agent Zim-mer’s testimony should have been limited to p use expert testimony to prove the interstate nexus element of a weapons charge brought pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922.

Even when the delay is accompanied by a change of financial condition, these circumstances standing alone do not justify the application of laches. See id.

Rather than explaining them, his testimony produced further inconsistencies with his prior testimony to the court and the asylum officer. Given the obvious plagiarism in his application, his inability to explain why his statement was so similar to others, and the inconsistencies within his own sworn testimony, the IJ properly found Sliusar not credible.

Nevertheless, the court addressed and rejected the enforceability of such an agreement: With this said, we conclude that, even had the husband and the wife entered into an unambiguous agreement between themselves regarding the disposition of the frozen preembryos, we would not enforce an agreement that would compel one donor to become a parent against his or her will.

For reasons that are amplified in point III, below, the statute bars revocation of the confirmation order in this case because an order satisfying the mandatory statutory predicate cannot be drafted. Another noteworthy feature of this statute is the relatively short time frame in which a cause of action may be filed. The request to revoke the confirmation order must come “before 180 days after the date of the entry of the order of confirmation.” Courts have been very strict in their adherence to this 180-day rule. See, e.g., BFP Invs., Inc. v. BFP Invs., Ltd., 150 Fed.Appx. 978, 979 (11th Cir.2005); In re Orange Tree Assocs., 961 F.2d 1445, 1447 (9th Cir.1992) (); In re Medical Analytics, Inc., 410 F.Supp. ### Response: holding that a request made within 180 days of a modified confirmation order entered three months after the original confirmation order but more than 180 days after the original confirmation order was timebarred " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: at 16) This claim will be tried at the Phase One trial.

Because we conclude that the damages awards were not supported by evidence in the record, we must reverse the trial court’s judgment on this issue. See, e.g., Blair v. Cooper, 392 So.2d 1205, 1207 (Ala.Civ.App.1981). V. Additionally, the Darnalls argue that the trial court erred in admitting a “Google Earth” aerial photograph and an Alabama Atlas and Gazetteer as exhibits. We need not determine whether these exhibits were admissible, because, even if their admission was error, the Darnalls have not shown how the error was injurious to their ease.

The plaintiff fails to meet this burden. Garrett has produced scant evidence to show that his impairment substantially limits his ability to work. Garrett provides no evidence of the number of jobs from which he is precluded because of his impairment. The plaintiff has admitted that he can work in a variety of jobs. See Plaintiffs dep. pp. 176-177. Plaintiff admits that he can work most jobs that do not require “sport type activities”. Id. In fact, plaintiff has worked a variety of jobs since he was fired from Autozone. See id. at 226-231. Without some evidence that Garrett is precluded from a broad range of jobs, his impairment does not meet the definition of disability under 42 U.S.C. § 12102(2)(A). See Foreman v.

Snow, 404 F.Supp.2d 79, 91 (D.D.C.2005) (ruling that plaintiffs attempt to show pretext by pointing to historical disparities within the company was unavailing because he “failed to show actual statistics comparing rates of promotion at [the company] between similarly situated black and white employees, or even statistics comparing rates of hiring black and white applicants to their presence in the applicant pool”); Metrocare v.

The certification of Defendants’ status of diplomats by the State Department prior to service of the Amended Complaint therefore applies throughout the continuation of the suit, making Defendants immune from subject matter jurisdiction in this Court. Additionally, Defendants properly asserted that the “commercial activity” exception in Article 31(1)(c) of the Vienna Convention does not apply to the hiring of a domestic employee, therefore immunity is neither waived nor eliminated.

Severance of the Substantively Unconscionable Provisions ¶42 Fred Lind Manor urges us to sever any provisions we find to be substantively unconscionable arguing that the essential term of the parties’ bargain, i.e., arbitration, should be retained. Adler, however, contends that because the substantively unconscionable provisions pervade the entire agreement, we should refuse to sever those provisions and declare the entire agreement void. See Ingle, 328 F.3d at 1180 ().

School districts need not specify minutes of instruction if they are reasonably known to all “involved in both the development and implementation of the IEP.” See 64 Fed.Reg. 12,479. Under the circumstances of this case, we conclude that the amount of time to be devoted to KL.’s services was clearly known to KL.’s individualized educational program team. Even if the minutes were not known, however, Plaintiffs have failed to set forth a plausible argument that this procedural violation resulted in the denial of a free appropriate public education. Cf. O’Toole v. Olathe Dist. Schs. Unified Sch, 144 F.3d 692, 705-06 (10th Cir.1998) ().

The Court then held that “[f]rom these findings the trial court correctly concluded that the statement ‘was made freely, voluntarily, understanding [sic] and knowingly ....’” Id. at 20, 277 S.E.2d at 529. The Court concluded, therefore, that the trial court properly admitted the defendant’s incriminating statements. In this case, the trial court made comparable findings based on similar evidence. Under McCoy, therefore, the trial court’s findings in this case support its conclusion that defendant’s three statements were voluntary and admissible. See also State v. McKoy, 323 N.C. 1, 17, 372 S.E.2d 12, 20 (1988) (), vacated on other grounds, 494 U.S. 433, 108 ### Response: holding that trial court did not err in admitting statements made two hours after defendants blood alcohol level was 026 when trial court found that during questioning the defendant was coherent and that his answers were extremely reasonable responsive and appropriate " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: David to sell his hundreds of franchises in the U.S., and a ""breach"" scenario, in which, due to defendants failure to perform, David, three years later, had to set up prototypes himself and then sell the franchises.

While the most recent Kenford decision sets forth a stricter rule than previously articulated, prior cases — in both New York and federal courts — have also set forth high standards for when lost profits for new businesses can be awarded. These cases make clear that lost profit claims by new businesses must be certain, specific, and precise. See, e.g., Hirschfeld v.

The absence of an explicit list of permissible subjects upon which discourse is permissible in this nonpublie forum does not mean that there is no “otherwise includible subject” for discussion in the forum. In Hedges, 9 F.3d at 1296-97, for example, the school board announced two policies prohibiting the distribution of “written material that is of a religious nature” and “written material ... which expresses religious beliefs or points of view.” This court recognized that the policies impliedly allowed the distribution of all other written material, and concluded that the prohibition of religious speech was unconstitutional.

See id. (discussing “probable sentencing range” and “sentence within the maximum provided in the statutes of conviction”). As such, we find the plea agreement’s waiver provision is ambiguous as to whether “sentence” includes the amount of restitution, or refers only to term of imprisonment. For example, on the one hand, restitution is part of “sentence” in the colloquial sense in that it is a determination for the district court after guilt has been adjudged. On the other hand, resti tution is not simply “imposed in accordance with the Sentencing Guidelines and Policy Statements” as the plea agreement specifies. J.A. 30 1Í 4; cf. United States v.

City of Albuquerque, 101 F.3d 620-627 (10th Cir.1996), we spoke as follows: When the pre-termination process offers little or no opportunity for the employee to present his side of the case, the procedures in the post-termination hearing become much more important. Such a post-termination hearing represents the only meaningful opportunity the employee has to challenge the employer’s action, and requiring a dismissed employee to prove in this context that he was terminated without just cause may increase the risk of an erroneous deprivation. It is often difficult to prove a negative, and where the pre-termination process has been minimal, the employee’s fate may depend entirely upon the post-termination hearing. Cf.

Consequently, evidence obtained by private parties and turned over to the police is not obtained in violation of the Fourth Amendment. Burdeau v.

The Commission took no action during the next 180 days. As he was entitled to do, Mr. Ross withdrew this complaint and the Commission issued a notice of dismissal on December 11, 1996. Mr. Ross did not file his lawsuit against Jim Adams Ford until July 21, 2000. His complaint contained two counts. In count II, he alleged that he had been terminated in retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim. See § 440.205, Fla. Stat. (1993). The trial court dismissed this count because it was filed more than four years after Mr. Ross’s termination and was barred by the statute of limitations provided for statutory claims in section 95.11(8)(f).

IV. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, Defendants are entitled to summary judgment as against Continental’s claims for trade dress infringement and unfair competition. 1 . On July 7, 2000 this Court issued an order granting Defendants’ motion for summary judgment and entering final judgment in favor of Defendants on all claims. (See Memorandum Opinion and Order re: Trade Dress Claims.) This memorandum incorporates several minor editorial changes and corrections. Because more than 10 days have passed since entry of final judgment, this memorandum cannot effect any change in the judgment or extend the time to appeal. See Fed.R.Civ.P. 59(d)-(e); Burnam v. Amoco Container Co., 738 F.2d 1230, 1231 (11th Cir.1984) (per curiam) (); Scott v.

For the reasons set forth below, the evidence the ALJ cites as contradicting the opinions of Santiago’s treating physicians is not substantial. For example, the ALJ completely disregarded Nunez’s opinion that Santiago’s depression met the B Criteria on the ground that Nunez expressed his view by signing a report that the ALJ believes was written by Malinowska. (Tr. 23.) However, even if the ALJ’s handwriting analysis is accurate and the report was written by Malinowska, there is no reason to believe that the report Nunez signed does not reflect his own view. Nor is there any legal principle which states that a doctor must personally write out a report that he signs for it to be afforded weight. See Ruiz v. Apfel, 98 F.Supp.2d 200, 209 (D.Conn.1999) (). Since Nunez signed his name to the report and ### Response: holding that alj must give weight to a report signed by doctor even though it was prepared by someone else " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: entitle him to credit against his sentence, and which is a factor affecting security level and parole decisions. Generally speaking, inmates have no legally protected interest in remaining in a particular location of confinement. Meachum v. Fano, 427 U.S. 215, 226-27, 96 S.Ct. 2532, 49 L.Ed.2d 451 (1976). Although plaintiff argues that the ability to take and complete classes is a protected liberty interest, he has not pointed to a state statute creating such an interest. See id.; Sandin v. Conner, 515 U.S. 472, 483-84, 115 S.Ct. 2293, 132 L.Ed.2d 418 (1995). Further, the potential effect of preventing plaintiff from taking classes on the duration of his sentence is “too attenuated to invoke the procedural guarantees of the Due Process Clause.” Sandin, 515 U .S. at 487, 115 S.Ct. 2293 ().

Accordingly, we hold that the Rooker-Feldman doctrine does not bar the plaintiffs’ substantive due process theory. VI. The defendants finally argue that since the Rooker-Feldman doctrine divests federal courts of jurisdiction to order relief that prevents the enforcement of an order previously entered by a state court, Rooker-Feldman precludes the plaintiffs’ attempt to obtain an injunction against the closure of Desi’s and further harassment by the defendants. We disagree. The plaintiffs’ request for an injunction against the closure of Desi’s pursuant to the state court’s order is moot, as the state court’s injunction has expired and Desi’s has resumed operations. See, e.g., Orion Sales v. Emerson Radio Corp., 148 F.3d 840, 842 (7th Cir.1998) (); Hodges v.

In this regard, courts in the Commonwealth have typically assessed liability to defendants in three distinct areas: (1) where the plaintiff sustained injuries from a fall on an unnatural accumulation of ice or snow that formed as a result of water flowing from a defective roof, see Baldassari v.

B. Negligent infliction of emotional distress. The Defendants argue that Mrs. Reiber’s claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress fails for another reason also. They argue that “‘[t]o maintain a claim for negligent infliction of emotional distress, a plaintiff must show that she suffered a .direct physical impact.’ Neal, [ 2005 WL 1939955 at *10] (citing Bader v.

Validity of Petitioner’s Marriage Under New York Law Petitioner concedes that his marriage ceremony “was not done according to New York laws [sic ].” (Pet. Mem. at 4.) Nonetheless, Petitioner maintains that his marriage is valid under New York law, because: 1) the marriage was authorized under Polish law, and, therefore, should be recognizable in all jurisdictions (Pet.’s Mem. at 3); and 2) “there is no strict requirement for how marriage should be performed.” (Id. at 9.) Petitioner makes two arguments in support of his position that a marriage authorized under Polish law is valid in New York State. First, Petitioner argues that his consular marriage should be recognized under New York law, because “New York State has a history of recognizing judgments rendered in fo .Ct. 1944) (). Second, Petitioner relies on Article 25(c) of ### Response: holding that a ceremonial marriage performed under the laws of a foreign power by a foreign consular officer on united states territory was invalid because it did not comply with the laws of new york state " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: consider both separately. With respect to the Peace Child Care Center, Inc., the determination to be made is whether it was operated primarily for religious purposes and whether it was operated, supervised, controlled, or principally supported by the Church. The record reflects no disagreement that the now defunct child care center was primarily subsidized by the Church. The only step remaining is determining if the child care center was operated primarily for religious purposes. The evidence on this issue is not disputed. The Church’s bookkeeper testified that the function of the child care center was to take care of children and provide an outreach for the church. See St. Martin Evangelical Lutheran Church v. South Dakota, 451 U.S. 772, 784-85, 101 S.Ct. 2142, 68 L.Ed.2d 612 (1981) ().

In Georgia v. Randolph, the Supreme Court reiterated a narrow exception to this rule, holding that “a physically present inhabitant’s express refusal of consent to a police search is dispositive as to him, regardless of the consent of a fellow occupant.” 547 U.S. at 122-23, 126 S.Ct. 1515; see also Fernandez, 134 S.Ct. at 1134 (emphasizing Randolph does not extend to cases where the objector is not present and objecting). Put another way, the Supreme Court has held that “a warrantless search of a shared dwelling for evidence over the express refusal of consent by a physically present resident cannot be justified as reasonable as to him on the basis of consent given to the police by another resident.” Id. at 120, 126 S.Ct. 1515 (footnote omitted) ().

In McCrory v. Henderson, 82 F.3d 1243 (2d Cir.1996), the court observed: If ... a Batson objection may be raised after the jury has been sworn and trial has begun, there can be no remedy short of aborting the trial. This would permit the defendant to manipulate the system to the extreme prejudice of the prosecution and give the defendant a strong inducement to delay raising the objection until trial is underway. As the trial judge is unlikely for reasons of judicial economy to abort the. trial, the defendant may have the opportunity to test his fortunes with the first jury, preserving the opportunity for a mistrial and a second round in the event of a conviction. See United States v. Dobynes, 905 F.2d 1192, 1196-97 (8th Cir. [1990]) (), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 877, 111 S.Ct. 206, ### Response: holding that batson challenge raised for the first time after trial was untimely in part because only remedy after trial is vacating the conviction " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: cannot prevail. The second temporal issue relates to when the mold and bacteria came into existence. There is no evidence whatsoever, undisputed or otherwise, of when the mold and mildew came into existence. This shortfall in the evidence that Panorama put forth to support its motion for summary judgment impacts all counts of the complaint, but especially the count for negligence. The Schornbergs in their complaint state that they were advised in June 2003 that the water intrusion they had detected a month earlier had caused growth of mold and bacteria. However, the complaint is not evidence. Straub v. Village of Wellington, 941 So.2d 1269 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006) (stating that a complaint is not admissible to prove or disprove a fact in issue).

It does not involve a demand that West Virginia’s sovereignty be recognized by another state.' See id. (identifying as a sovereign interest “the demand for recognition from other sovereigns”). It does not involve the State’s real property, see E.P.A., 549 U.S. at 519, 127 S.Ct. 1438 (recognizing “Massachusetts’ well-founded desire to preserve its sovereign territory”); its public fisc, see Nat’l Fed’n of Indep.

The trial court also denied the District’s motion to sever the partial summary judgment granted by the trial court. Because the trial court denied the severance motion, the court's summary judgment ruling is not at issue in this appeal. 6 . (emphasis added). The fact that the Board approved the permit applications upon the condition that the District’s General Manager confirm each applicant’s installation of a water well flow meter, compliance with the Rules of the Kinney County Groundwater Conservation District, and payment of all fees due and owing to the District does not diminish or affect the definitiveness of the District’s order in this instance.

Brennan, 534 A.2d 353, 354 (Me.1987) (citation omitted). We therefore conclude that the hardship to the insurer is outweighed by the competing interests of preventing duplicative litigation and sparing insureds the costs of defending a collateral action brought by the insurer to determine its obligations under the insurance contract before the nat parties’ stipulation of fact to determine duties to defend and indemnify); cf.

Although some of these events did take place prior to the plan's confirmation, the claims are not barred by res judicata because the breaches of fiduciary duly did not occur until well afterward. The pre-confirmation events are looked at only for background, pattern of activity, and for evidence of motive. See n.4, supra. 8 . We also find that the punitive damages were proportional to the compensatory damages, less than a 2 to 1 ratio, and that there is therefore no need to discuss a possible conflict between Pacific Mutual Life Ins. Co. v. Haslip, 499 U.S. 1, 111 S.Ct. 1032, 113 L.Ed.2d 1 (1991) (suggesting that punitive damages disproportionate to compensatory damages may violate due process), and Kirkbride, 555 A.2d at 803 ().

The barge was moved infrequently, primarily to launch the newly constructed concrete barges. This Court, relying on the Supreme Court’s decision in Cope v. Vallette Dry-Dock Co., 119 U.S. 625, 7 S.Ct. 336, 30 L.Ed. 501 (1887), concluded that the barge was a construction platform not designed for the transportation of passengers, cargo, or equipment across navigable waters, and that “the status of the craft [was] governed by the proposition that, ‘as a matter of law, a floating dry dock is not a vessel when it is moored and in use as a dry dock.’ ” Id. at 1002 (citations omitted). The barge in question was merely an extension of the dock. See also Watkins v. Pentzien, Inc., 660 F.2d 604 (5th Cir.1981) (); Leonard v.

Also similar to Scott, the plaintiff in Butler used the same equipment as the manufacturer’s employees and produced the goods that were the manufacturer’s core business. See id. But there are important differences between the two cases. For example, the manufacturer’s employees supervised the Butler plaintiff on the factory floor. See id. Here, Scott was supervised by an EmCare employee. Further, the Butler plaintiff performed the same tasks as the manufacturer’s employees, whereas all hospitalists like Scott were EmCare employees. Given these differences, Butler does not convince us that the jury here rendered a verdict against the great weight of the evidence. Cf. Ling Nan Zheng v. Liberty Apparel Co. Inc., 617 F.3d 182, 185-86 (2d Cir. 2010) ().

Its construction of ambiguous statutory provisions — like the term “crime involving moral turpitude” — is entitled to Chevron deference. Ruiz-Lopez v. Holder, 682 F.3d 513, 516 (6th Cir.2012). Consequently, this court “must uphold the BIA’s construction [of 8 U.S.C. § 1227(a)(2)(A)® ] unless it is arbitrary, capricious, or manifestly contrary to the statute.” Kellermann v. Holder, 592 F.3d 700, 702 (6th Cir.2010) (quoting Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Res. Def. Council, 467 U.S. 837, 843-44, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984)) (internal quotation marks omitted). Our circuit has held— along with a number of other circuits— that the BIA’s interpretation of “crime involving moral turpitude” is reasonable. Novatchinski v.

The portion of the transcript of the plea hearing that Harris attached to his motion appears to support this claim. However, Harris again failed to allege prejudice, because he failed to allege that he would not have pleaded if he had known that the trial court would sentence him as a habitual offender. When a defendant, in a rule 3.850 motion, seeks to withdraw his plea on the ground that it was involuntary because he was provided incorrect information regarding the consequences of the plea, he must allege that he would not have accepted the plea if he had been fully aware of the consequences. See State v. Taylor, 738 So.2d 988 (Fla. 2d DCA 1999) ().

Chand v. INS, 222 F.3d 1066, 1073 (9th Cir.2000). We have defined persecution as “the infliction of suffering or harm upon those who differ (in race, religion or political opinion) in a way regarded as offensive.” Fisher v.

There is some dispute as to when the process of amending the City’s zoning ordinance began. However, since we conclude that the City has no intention of re-enacting the allegedly unconstitutional segments of the zoning code, we need not decide what initially motivated the City's comprehensive overhaul of its entire zoning ordinance. 4 . In Bonner v. City of Prichard, 661 F.2d 1206, 1209 (11th Cir.1981) (en banc), this Court adopted as binding precedent all decisions of the former Fifth Circuit handed down prior to close of business on September 30, 1981. 5 . We cataloged many of the Supreme Court decisions on this subject in our Coral Springs decision: See, e.g., Lewis v.

Improper Prosecution Arguments Coe cites four statements made by the prosecution at the sentencing stage that he claims were improper. First, Coe complains that the prosecutor improperly injected his expertise into his death-penalty argument. The prosecutor said that he took his decision to seek the death penalty very seriously; that the decision was difficult; that he had only ever requested the death penalty once before. Coe cites Eleventh Circuit precedent that is directly on point. See, e.g., Brooks v. Kemp, 762 F.2d 1383, 1410 (11th Cir.1985) (en banc) (). But Kemp ultimately held the error to be ### Response: holding very similar commentsto be prejudicial " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: version of the peculiar risk doctrine, that is, under either section 413 or section 416.

When considering a hirer’s liability under the peculiar risk provisions, the courts consistently distinguished the issue before them from the tort theory set forth in section 414. Toland, 74 Cal.Rptr.2d 878, 955 P.2d at 511 n. 2 (); Camargo, 25 Cal.4th at 1245, n. 2, 108 ### Response: holding that the grant of review did not extend to and therefore we do not decide whether privette would preclude an employee of an independent contractor from seeking tort recovery from workplace injuries under the theory of section 414 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of the case, because the court treated the Guidelines range as mandatory and “the Supreme Court has now excised the mandatory nature of the Guidelines in Booker.” Shelton, 400 F.3d at 1330 (reviewing Booker claim for plain error). In Shelton, we concluded that “it was Booker error for the district court to sentence Shelton under a mandatory Guidelines scheme, even in the absence of a Sixth Amendment enhancement violation.” Id. (citation omitted). Based on the excision of the mandatory provisions of the Guidelines, in cases involving preserved Booker error, we have required the Government to show that the mandatory, as opposed to the advisory, application of the Guidelines did not contribute to the defendant’s sentence.

And that question is not before us now. As such, I cannot agree that a procedure created and used for § 1226(a) detainees tells us anything about the constitutional adequacy of the procedures governing unreasonably prolonged detention under § 1226(c). Our decision regarding what due process requires in this context perhaps should bear upon the protections owed to § 1226(a) detainees, not the other way around. Indeed, the Ninth Circuit, which has adopted a clear and convincing evidence standard for § 1226(c) detainees, appears to have adopted the same standard for § 1226(a) detainees. See Rodriguez, 804 F.3d at 1087 (applying a clear and convincing evidence standard to a class comprised of aliens detained under § 1226(a) and (c)); Singh, 638 F.3d at 1205 ().

Conclusion In consideration of the foregoing, the plaintiffs motion for summary judgment is granted as to that portion of the requested relief that has not been mooted by the USTR’s removal of Gilda’s products from the retaliation list. Accordingly, Gilda’s imports of rusks or toasted breads from Spain entered after July 29, 2007 must be liquidated without the 100 percent retaliatory duty described herein. Further, the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection shall refund to the plaintiff all of the retaliatory duties (described herein) collected on Gilda’s toasted bread imports from Spain between July 29, 2007 and March 23, 2009.

See Pardi v. Kaiser Found. Hosps., 389 F.3d 840, 850 (9th Cir.2004) (indicating that lodging union grievance asserting discrimination constitutes protected activity). It is also undisputed that Mr. Avila suffered an adverse employment action when he was terminated. See Fye, 516 F.3d at 1228 (stating “termination ... is clearly an adverse employment action”). Finally, it is undisputed that Mr. Avila established a causal connection between his protected activity on September 2, 2003 and his termination nine days later. See Argo v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Kan., Inc., 452 F.3d 1193, 1202 (10th Cir.2006) ().

Nevertheless, the court does not find that the contracts are so “one-sided” or unfair as to render either the integration clauses or the contracts themselves unenforceable. Even construing the standardized contracts strictly against Amoco and in the light most favorable to plaintiffs, there is nothing that could reasonably be considered shockingly unfair or offensive about the wording of the contracts or the inclusion of the integration clauses therein. Standardized contracts with integration clauses have been a common part of plaintiffs’ and Amoco’s franchise relationship. See Adams, 13 Kan.App.2d at 497, 774 P.2d 355 ().

We are unpersuaded by defendant’s argument. In Martini I, supra, the Court rejected the same argument advanced by defendant. 131 N.J. at 313, 619 A.2d 1208. There, the Court concluded that although the trial court should instruct the jury during the penalty phase on potential noncapital sentences, “the court should inform the jury that defendant’s possible sentence for the other convictions should not influence its determination regarding the appropriateness of a death sentence on the murder count.” Ibid. Martini I’s holding in this regard is in harmony with the Court’s pronouncements in related contexts. See Bey III, supra, 129 N.J. at 603, 610 A.2d 814 (). Indeed, it would lead to an incongruous ### Response: holding that although court should inform jury about defendants prior sentences the court should instruct the jury that it should not consider prior sentences in its decision to impose a life or death sentence because they are not statutory aggravating or mitigating factors " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: defendant’s fear at the time of the incident. E.B., 531 So.2d at 1054.

Marsh, 884 F.2d 648 (2nd Cir.1989) (applying Weinberger and Amoco and concluding that they require a showing of irreparable injury apart from the violation of NEPA procedural requirements). Although NEPA violations may not create a presumption of irreparable injury, the Court believes that such violations do create a type of injury that courts must consider when deciding whether to grant injunctive relief. Sierra Club v. Marsh, 872 F.2d 497 (1st Cir.1989) ().

Therefore, the question of Colameta’s conduct only becomes relevant if the court determines as a matter of law that Protégé’s conduct did not constitute a material breach of the 2007 Employment Agreement that discharged Colameta’s obligations under that agreement.

Jeffreys v. Raleigh Oaks Joint Venture, 115 N.C. App. 377, 380, 444 S.E.2d 252, 254 (1994). Plaintiff has not addressed the appealability of the interim order here and thus has failed to meet her burden of showing that the appeal has been properly taken. This Court has recognized that similar “interim” orders entered in the domestic context are not immediately appealable. See, e.g., Dixon v. Dixon, 62 N.C. App. 744, 303 S.E.2d 606 (1983) (); Smart v.

See, e.g., Def.’s Ex. 6-8 (containing Certificate of Assessments and Payments for plaintiffs 1999, 2000, and 2001 tax years indicating that no payment had been made). A Certificate of Assessments and Payments “is routinely used to prove that a tax assessment has in fact been made.” Rocovich, 933 F.2d at 994. Where, as here, a plaintiff has failed to allege that he paid the full amount of the assessed taxes that are the basis of his refund claim, the court may accept as true the assertions contained in a Certificate of Assessments and Payments indicating that the plaintiff has not fully paid the assessment. Daniels v. United States, No. 97-442T, 1999 WL 302450, at *3 (Fed.Cl. Apr.14, 1999); see also United States v. Chila, 871 F.2d 1015, 1018 (11th Cir.1989) (); Dallin ex rel. Estate of Young v.

While “the requirement that the act must be willful or purposeful may not render certain, for all purposes, a statutory definition of the crime which is in some respects uncertain ... it does relieve the statute of the objection that it punishes without warning an offense of which the accused was unaware.” Id.

(Pl.’s Mem. of Law at 4). Indeed, Dr. Eckstein’s proffered position at Beth Israel was conditioned upon her receiving Sabbath observance accommodation like that which she had at NYU. (Id.) In order to prevail over defendants’ summary judgment motions, the plaintiff must establish a prima facie case by showing that the facts surrounding defendants’ refusal to hire her give rise to an inference of religious discrimination. Stetson v. NYNEX Service Co., 995 F.2d 355, 359-360 (2d Cir.1993). Because defendants offered the same position to someone else with similar religious practices, an inference of discrimination cannot be drawn from their refusal to hire plaintiff. See, e.g., E.E.O.C. v. Wiltel, Inc., 81 F.3d 1508 (10th Cir.1996) (); Eng v. Beth Israel Medical Center, 93 Civ ### Response: holding that plaintiff failed to establish a prima facie case in a religious discrimination suit because among other reasons employer hired someone else with identical religious practices " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: had not been made. Id. at 1310. However, he also stated his view “that from a purely technical standpoint a public defender may appear as ‘next friend’ with as much justification as the mother of [one or another capital defendant].” Id. As noted above, there is no issue of competence in this case; the reason for seeking next friend standing is inaccessibility, and the government has conceded that. There being no “technical” impediment to appointing a lawyer to serve as next friend, it is not surprising that courts have done so in appropriate cases. See, e.g., Miller ex rel. Jones v. Stewart, 231 F.3d 1248 (9th Cir.2000) (granting next friend status to lawyer seeking to stay execution and remanding for hearing on defendant’s competence); Ford v.

In short, the Court cannot say, under the circumstances, that there exists no reasonable possibility that the jury’s verdict was not influenced by an improper communication. Cheek, 94 F.3d at 141. A criminal defendant has a right to a fair trial, U.S. CONST. amend. VI, and a right to be present at every stage of the trial. Fed. R.Crim. Pro. 43(a); see United States v.

Because Gonzalez failed to raise arguments regarding “other losses” and specific categories of damages in his initial briefing, he has waived this issue on appeal. In any event, fact questions “capable of resolution by the district court upon proper objection at sentencing can never constitute plain error.” Gonzalez’s argument that Vicky’s costs for “educational ... counseling needs” predated his criminal acts and therefore this category of costs could not be proximately caused by his crime is a factual issue. It cannot be the basis for plain error, and even were we to consider i 6 (5th Cir.2008) (). 7 . Cf.

A. Duty and Foreseeability In general, courts rely on the concept of “foreseeability” to determine whether the defendant owed a duty to the claimant in a negligence action and examine whether the risk to the claimant was “reasonably foreseeable” to the defendant. See, e.g., District of Columbia v. Shannon, 696 A.2d 1359, 1366 (D.C.1997); Haynesw orth, v. D.H. Stevens Co., 645 A.2d 1095, 1098 (D.C.1994). If the injury that befell the plaintiff was “reasonably foreseeable” to the defendant, then courts will usually conclude that the defendant owed the plaintiff a duty to avoid causing that injury; if the injury was not “reasonably foreseeable,” then there was no duty. Compare Shannon, 696 A.2d at 1366 (), with Galloway v. Safeway Stores, Inc., 632 ### Response: holding that because playground accident due to poor maintenance could have been reasonably foreseeable to the district trial court properly denied districts motion for judgment on the ground it owed no duty to child using playground " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 198 N.J.Super. 214, 217, 486 A.2d 932 (App.Div.1985)); see also Buck v.

The Court’s construction of N.J.S.A 39:4— 88(b) gives meaning to all of the! statute’s language, and thereby effects the intent of the Legislature. Moreover, if N.J.S.A 39:4-88(b) precludes only unsafe lane changes, a driver would not violate the statute even by allowing a vehicle to straddle two lanes or swerve back and forth over the lines defining traffic lanes, unless that conduct created a safety issue.

Appellant’s Brief at 42. Thus, Appellant claims he is subjected to harsher punishment than individuals who had their death sentences vacated by this Court prior to 1988. This Court, however, has repeatedly rejected the argument that “retroactive” application of Section 9711(h)(4) offends a defendant’s due process and equal protection rights, and we have held that application of Section 9711(h)(4) is constitutionally permissible. See Commonwealth v. Chambers, 546 Pa. 870, 381-82, 685 A.2d 96, 102 (1996) (); Commonwealth v.

The fact that the offense was a misdemeanor is also immaterial to our Fourth Amendment analysis. See United States v.

Thus, the officers in this case had, at least, arguable probable cause to conclude that Smithson had violated the city’s sound ordinance.

Kaiser v. Kaiser, 2001 OK 30, ¶ 18, 23 P.3d 278, 282. The second statute requires notice of intent to relocate and provides for a hearing procedure if the non-custodial parent objects to relocation.

Indeed, part of the court’s rationale was that California homeowners generally would not be insured for an injury suffered after conveyance of the property. Id. at 483. No such analysis has been offered here. Second, unlike Strakos, Preston focused on “ownership and control as a fundamental requirement for ascribing liability,” rather than the creation of a dangerous condition. Id. at 483. Strakos also rejected the accepted work doctrine, a doctrine that eliminated a defendant’s liability after work was accepted because the defendant no longer controlled the property.

The defendant accepted the trees, some of which later died. The court instructed the jury that the burden was on the defendant buyer to prove that the trees were not, in Mich.App. 308, 225 N.W.2d 742, 745 (1975) (“[A]s to goods accepted, the burden is on the buyer to establish any claimed breach of warranty.”) (citing M.C.L.A. § 440.-2607.(4) ).

Jurists of reason would not debate the correctness of the district court’s conclusion. In Estelle, the Supreme Court held that a defendant’s presumption of innocence is undermined and his right to a fair trial violated when the state compels him to stand trial in prison or jail clothing. 425 U.S. at 504-06, 512, 96 S.Ct. at 1692-94, 1697; see also United States v.

Ace Sign would not automatically foreclose a DTPA cause of action when a contract or a part thereof is void by operation of law. But a contract is a mutual undertaking. An aspect of an agreement that proves unenforceable because it is against public policy does not, standing alone, constitute a violation of section 17.46(b)(12). There must be something more. Cf.

The relevant “provision” of chapter five in this case is Tennessee Code Annotated section 27-5-103 and its requirement that an appealing party file a bond for costs of the appeal. Accordingly, filing a bond within the ten-day period is a condition precedent to the timely perfection of an appeal. See Love v. Coll.

One of those factors is the civil nature of the proceedings. Id. Assuming the proceedings are civil in nature, as Shetsky and rule 702(f) indicate, rule 115 of the General Rules of Practice reflects the traditional practice for a civil action by implicitly placing the burden on the moving party to obtain a hearing date. Minn. R. Gen. Pract. 115.02 reads: A hearing date and time shall be obtained from the court administrator or a designated motion calendar deputy. A party obtaining a date and time for a hearing on ot guarantee the right to a hearing on all motions. See Minn. R. Civ.

It is the governmental agency that may, pursuant to Bivins, determine when a claim is capable of evaluation. Further, Crockett's eight-month delay in providing the requested information without any explanation of the reason for that delay was not responsive to Insurer's March 26 or May 9 requests for the information within fourteen days. Again, once a request for information to evaluate the claim has been filed, Bivins does not contemplate that the claimant then controls when the 90-day period begins to run. 17 Second, a request for information does not always erase the 90-day time period. See Trent By and Through Trent v. Bd. of County Comm'rs of Johnston County, 1988 OK 15, 755 P.2d 615 (); Doe v. Indep. School Dist.

Second, their interaction with Kish gave no reason to doubt his credibility. Kish gave Defendants a detailed account of the alleged plan to accomplish Steiner’s suicide, along with a diagram indicating where he had personally observed the medications. Kish repeated his allegations under oath before the Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor, Stevens, and his testimony remained consistent. Accordingly, Defendants had reasonable grounds to believe they would find medications at Re-gets’s home and Steiner’s hotel room. Re-gets has failed to cite any authority that Defendants were required to more thoroughly investigate Kish and his claims before seeking the issuance of the search warrants. See, e.g., United States v. Kini-son, 710 F.3d 678, 682 (6th Cir.2013) ().

However, Gibson involved a first post-conviction request for collateral relief in which the petitioner was not required to establish that a miscarriage of justice had occurred. I believe the Majority accords insufficient weight to the fact that Appellant has already had the benefit of collateral review of his death sentence. The consequences of this are of great significance: in the context of a serial PCRA petition, unless Appellant can make a strong prima facie showing that a miscarriage of justice has resulted, he is not entitled to any relief from his judgment of sentence.

The statewide presumptive plea offer for the subject offenses under the September 1992 Guidelines was 364 days in the county jail as a condition of probation. Defendant argued that a sentence imposed in accord with the February 1998 Guidelines would violate the ex post facto provisions of the Federal and State Constitutions because the application of those guidelines made the punishment for the crime more burdensome than the September 1992 Guidelines.

However, rather than treating Plaintiffs’ ### Response: holding in an appeal from the dismissal of the plaintiffs complaint pursuant to rule 12b6 that when the papers before the sixth circuit indicate that the plaintiff could submit an amended complaint that would state a claim upon which relief can be granted the proper course is to remand to permit the plaintiff to amend " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in evidence, and shall show affirmatively that the affiant is competent to testify to the matters states herein.” The declarations of Kurokawa and Hart complied with HRCP Rule 56(e). “In instances where Hawaii case law and statutes are silent, this court can look to parallel federal law for guidance.” Gold v. Harrison, 88 Hawai'i 94, 104, 962 P.2d 353, 363 (1998) (quoting State v. Ontai 84 Hawai'i 56, 61, 929 P.2d 69, 74 (1996)). As the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are substantially similar to the HRCP, we look to federal ease law for guidance. The Ninth Circuit has indicated that the Rule 56(e) requirement of personal knowledge and competence to testify may be inferred from the affidavits themselves. See Barthelemy v. Air Lines Pilots Ass’n, 897 F.2d 999, 1018 (9th Cir.1990) (); Lockwood v. Wolf Corp., 629 F.2d 603, 611 ### Response: holding that it was proper for court to rely on affidavits of defendants representatives in negotiations because their personal knowledge and competence to testify are reasonably inferred from their positions and the nature of their participation in the matters to which they swore " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: implied by silence or failure to act after the nonbreaching partners learn of the breach”). A rule that acquiescence, waiver, or ratification is sufficient would be consistent with analogous rules governing corporate opportunities. See, e.g., Impala Platinum, Ltd. v. Impala Sales (USA), 283 Md. 296, 324, 389 A.2d 887 (1978) (fiduciary duty is ""to make full disclosure of all known information”); Maryland Metals v. Metzner, 282 Md. 31, 46-47, 382 A.2d 564 (1978) (shareholder may pursue corporate opportunity when corporation makes clear its lack of interest or abandons previously expressed interest). Contrary to the Partnership's contention, we have not resolved this question in the partnership opportunity context. See Dixon v. Trinity Joint Venture, 49 Md.App. 379, 431 A.2d 1364 (1981) (). 11 .

Specifically, rsonal safety in this case outweighs the defendants’ right of confrontation, we conclude that the district court abused its discretion in this ease by ordering disclosure of the witnesses’ current addresses and telephone numbers. The district court’s disclosure order ignores the safety concerns articulated by the prosecution which the court itself acknowledged in its order delaying disclosure of the witnesses’ identities. Furthermore, the disclosure order defeats the purpose of placing the witnesses under witness protection, which is designed to protect the safety of prosecution witnesses by making their location unknown. See United States v. Watson, 599 F.2d 1149 (2d Cir.) (), modified, 690 F.2d 15 (2d Cir.1979); United ### Response: holding that trial court properly barred certain questions about witness who was in federal witness protection program " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Health Care Fraud Information No. 09-CR421, which charged him with health care fraud of $2.9 million. The Government contends petitioner’s claim is meritless as he was never prosecuted for the health care fraud violations in 1999 because he fled the jurisdiction on the date of his scheduled court appearance. Therefore, the 2009 N.D.N.Y. prosecution was the first time any jeopardy could attach to the petitioner’s prosecution. The Double Jeopardy Clause of the Fifth Amendment states that no person shall “be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb.” U.S. Const, amend. V.

Petitioner failed to appear in the M.D. Fla. ### Response: holding that in order for a pretrial dismissal to trigger the protections of the double jeopardy clause there must be an adjudication of elements of the offense charged in a way that reflected a genuine risk of conviction " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: similar to that of the district corad; in this case. That is, they refuse to view the guideline restrietively, and allow the enhancement where a direct implication of death follows from the 10th Cir.)(stating without detailed discussion that robber’s statement to teller to put money in bag or “the person behind me will shoot someone” is considered an express threat under the guidelines, citing the commentary), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 926, 114 S.Ct. 333, 126 L.Ed.2d 278 (1993); United States v. Smith, 973 F.2d 1374, 1378 (8th Cir.1992)(concluding that combination of threatening teller with statement “You don’t want to find out” and appearance as if he had gun under his coat constituted express threat of death); United States v.

Independent claim 1 excludes LDPE from the inner layers, while dependent claim 10 includes it. As such, claim 10 is inconsistent with claim 1 and, indeed, contradicts claim 1. A dependent claim that contradicts, rather than harrows, the claim from which it depends is invalid. See 35 U.S.C. § 112(d) (requiring that “a claim in dependent form shall contain a reference to a claim previously set forth and then specify a further limitation of the subject matter claimed” (emphasis added)); Pfizer, Inc. v. Ranbaxy Labs. Ltd., 457 F.3d 1284, 1291-92 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (); Curtiss-Wright Flow Control Corp. v.

But the treatment of attorney’s fees in modification and enforcement proceedings has been more complicated than the Court might indicate. I write separately to briefly explain this history and to illuminate why this subject has resulted in a lack of uniformity among the courts of appeals. I. The Common-Law Doctrine of Necessaries As the Court notes, the underpinnings of the doctrine of necessaries may be traced back over three centuries to English courts. 419 S.W.3d 292, 298-99 (citing Note, The Unnecessary Doctrine of Necessaries, 82 Mioh. L.Rev. 1767, 1767 (1984)). The doctrine implied a contract between a 101-02 (1889) (); see also In re H.V., 252 S.W.3d 319, 327 n. ### Response: holding that attorneys fees are necessaries for the criminal de fense of a child " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: failed to foresee or expect the damage caused by the installations of the foundations. Ante, at---. I do not believe that this is correct. The complaints allege that the failure to satisfy code requirements regarding the footers may not have been intentional. See, e.g., J.A. 277, 289-90 (first Ellerbe complaint alleging that “[t]he defective footers” may be “due to and based upon a systematic and fundamental misunderstanding [of] ... the requirements for footers in the State of Maryland”). And, although the complaints allege some intentional torts, they also allege causes of action against the parks for, among other things, negligent misrepresentation, violation of building code, negligence, breach of warranty, and torts arising from breach of contract. See Brohawn, 347 A.2d at 850 (); Minnick’s, Inc. v. Reliance Ins. Co., 47 ### Response: holding that liability insurer had duty to defend insured against complaint that alleged intentional tort and negligence in the alternative even when policy excluded coverage for intentional torts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: it does bear on the propriety of fees awarded under § 1988,” id. at 114, 113 S.Ct. 566, and in a concurring opinion, Justice O’Conner wrote that “[wjhen the plaintiffs success is purely technical or de minimis, no fees can be awarded,” id. at 117, 113 S.Ct. 566 (O’Conner, J., concurring). The Court disagrees with defendants’ characterization of plaintiffs victory in this case. First, rather than a nominal sum, the $30,000 in compensatory and punitive damages awarded by the jury was substantial and easily distinguishable from the cases cited by defendants. See Carroll v. Blinken, 105 F.3d 79, 81-82 (2d Cir. 1997) (affirming district court’s reduction of requested attorneys’ fees because, inter alia, “[tjhere was no damage award”); Pino v. Locascio, 101 F.3d 235, 238-39 (2d Cir. 1996) (). In Pino, the Second Circuit specifically ### Response: holding that district court erred in awarding attorneys fees in civil rights action where plaintiff only recovered 1 in nominal damages " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: held that an action for breach of warranty was a contract action, and therefore governed by the statute of limitations for contract actions. The court explained that: [Wjhile an action for breach of a statutorily implied warranty of fitness may involve, incidentally, some showing of negligence, the contract breached is not merely one to use due care, but is a separate (implied) contract of guaranty that the goods are fit for the purpose for which they are bought and sold. Id., 305 N.Y. at 147 (emphasis added). The court overruled two earlier cases where lower courts had held that breach of warranty claims sounded primarily in tort for statute of limitations purposes. See Buyers v. Buffalo Paint & Specialties, Inc., 199 Misc. 764, 769-70, 99 N.Y.S.2d 713, 719 (Sup.Ct.Erie Co. 1950) (); Schlick v.

(CAC at 92). Plaintiffs say this was too little, too late. It was too little, they argue, because the statement was merely a “benign reference” to the new therapies, insufficient to adequately warn investors. (CAC ¶ 92). It was too late, they suggest, because subsequent SEC filings addressed the competitive potential of the new therapies more thoroughly. However, “Mere allegations that statements in one report should have been made in earlier reports do not make out a claim of securities fraud.” Acito v. IMCERA Group, Inc., 47 F.3d 47, 53 (2d Cir.1995) (defendants’ lack of clairvoyance simply does not constitute securities fraud), citing Denny v. Barber, 576 F.2d 465, 470 (2d Cir.1978) (); DiLeo v.

In this regard, we agree with the intermediate appeals court of Massachusetts: Under that principle, it cannot be said that [the defendant’s] constitutional rights were violated when he was first searched; if he had been arrested immediately afterwards ..., no question could now arise as to the constitutional validity of the search. It is thus apparent that the defendant is contending for a nonsense proposition: that his constitutional rights were violated at the moment when the police decided not to arrest him and instead let him go.

However, courts, including the .Sixth Circuit, have held that EMTALA does not provide a plaintiff with a private cause of action against a physician. Moses v. Providence Hosp. & Med.

There the patentee had granted the licensee the right to make and sell its product in specialty form only, but not in bulk for sale to others. The court reasoned that a patentee’s right to shut off all competition must necessarily include the lesser right to restrict the exercise of the granted privilege so long as the patentee does not attach a condition that enlarges his monopoly beyond that given by the patent statute and the patent itself.

Goggins v. Pinellas Co., Cir. Ct. of Sixth Jud. Cir., 685 So.2d 1334, 1335 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996). As the trial court pointed out in its dismissal order, the transcripts requested are a part of the record for his direct appeal. Golden is not entitled to anything more. A motion to credit jail time is normally a motion authorized by Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(a). Hines v. State, 842 So.2d 999, 1000 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003).

The Government concedes that the funds in the Banamex account were not “involved in” or “traceable to” the money laundering enterprise and, thus, were not subject to forfeiture under the statute as it stood at the time of the seizure.

Moreover, it is unlikely that the issue of whether Hanft was “legally entitled” to the loan proceeds will ever be adjudicated in the underlying action. In the underlying action, the Diehls have asserted causes of action against Hanft for rescission and breach of contract. Whether Hanft was “legally entitled” to the loan proceeds is not an element of either of these causes of action which the factfinder in the underlying case would be required to determine.

Under the parties’ agreement, however, the extent to which these “additional matters” are nonarbitrable is open to serious question. For example, in varying degrees, the plaintiffs’ three examples of “additional matters” appear to fall within the scope of the parties’ dispute on price rede-termination. As such, the three issues may be arbitrable as necessary sub-issues, to be resolved by the arbitrators in their ruling on the price redetermination question. See Prudential Lines, 704 F.2d at 59 (noting that the resolution of an arbitrable dispute may “necessarily implicate[] resolution of several sub-issues); McAllister Bros. v. A & S Transp.

As to the District Court’s determination regarding the applicability of the Fair Sentencing Act, we find no error in light of this Court’s recent decision in United States v. Sidney, 648 F.3d 904, 910 (8th Cir.2011) (). As to the court’s imposition of sentence, we ### Response: holding that the fair sentencing act does not apply retroactively to defendants whose criminal conduct occurred before its enactment even if those defendants were sentenced after its enactment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: than in Steve Jackson Games and Konop. Defendant’s proemail operated to obtain the e-mails before they were received by its intended recipients. While the e-mail in Steve Jackson Games was retrieved from storage in a computer and the website in Konop was accessed under false pretenses, the e-mails in this case were accessed by the procmail as they were being transmitted and in real time. However, the presence of the words “any temporary, intermediate storage” in 18 U.S.C. § 2510(17) controls. On the facts of this case, it is clear that the electronic communications in this case were in a form of electronic storage. It may well be that the protections of the Wiretap Act have been eviscerated as technology advances. See United States v. Steiger, 318 F.3d 1039, 1047-51 (11th Cir.2003) ().

Law § 259-i(3)(x)(D) (stating that harshest penalty for violating post-release supervision served after determinate prison sentence is “reincarceration up to the balance of the remaining period of post-release supervision, not to exceed five years”). In these circumstances, there is no denying that Bussey’s 22-month term of incarceration was served “in connection with” his conviction for a state crime. See Kamagate v. Ashcroft, 385 F.3d 144, 154 (2d Cir.2004) (stating that “in connection with” is expansive term synonymous with “relating to,” “associated with,” “with respect to,” and “with reference to” (internal quotation marks omitted)); see also United States v.

Counsel states that the only arguable nonfrivolous issue presented in the record is ineffective assistance of trial counsel in negotiating the appeal waiver, but that argument should be raised in a collateral proceeding under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, rather than on direct appeal, since the district court has not had an opportunity to develop the factual record on the issue. See, e.g., United States v. Ibarra-Coronel, 517 F.3d 1218, 1222 (10th Cir.2008) ().

Kail v. Kalsek, Case No. GD99-15479 (Allegheny Cty. Ct. of Common Pleas May 31, 2001). Although the facts in Kail seem identical to Bujfetta (the wife was covered but not the named insured on her ex-husband’s policy and only became the named insured after her ex-husband was removed from the policy), the Court determined that a new policy was created and the ex-husband’s election could not bind the wife. Despite this contradiction, we cannot revisit our conclusion in Bujfetta simply on account of a Court of Common Pleas decision. See Smith v.

That relief raises an issue that is intimately tied to the power to review the Secretary’s regulations and, as such, it is an issue appropriate for consideration by a United States court of appeals pursuant to Section 300aa-32 of the Vaccine Act. See Oklahoma v. Civil Service Comm’n, 330 U.S. 127, 138-139, 67 S.Ct. 544, 551-552, 91 L.Ed. 794 (1947) () The issue lies beyond our jurisdiction to hear ### Response: recognizing that a court granted jurisdiction by statute to review the legality of administrative orders is also empowered to examine the constitutionality of the statute by virtue of which such orders were entered " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: premium payments owed to the insurer which the client then paid to the broker.

In making these determinations, I have not relied on the Expert HR defendants' response to LM’s Rule 56.1 Statement. Under Local Rule 56.1(b), responses must contain ""in the case of any disagreement, specific references to the affidavits, parts of the record, and other supporting materials relied upon.” The Expert HR defendants have not done so, but instead have issued unsupported denials for the vast majority of LM's Rule 56.1 Statement. This response is improper, and is therefore stricken. 25 . See, e.g., Am. Home Ins. Co. v. Travelers Indem. Co., 122 Cal.App.3d 951, 966, 175 Cal.Rptr. 826, 834 (1981) (). 26 .

Denti Out-of-Pocket Expense Aff., Ex. F (Flowers Dep.) at 715. In sum, I conclude that this is not an “appropriate” case in which to exercise my discretion to excuse the consequences of Electric Mobility’s judicial admission. Cf. MacDonald, 110 F.3d at 340 (finding that trial court was within discretion to conclude attorney’s remarks were not “deliberate voluntary waivers” and did not constitute judicial admissions); Belculfine, 527 F.2d at 944 (); United States v.

Zerbst, 304 U.S. 458, 468, 58 S.Ct. 1019, 1024, 82 L.Ed. 1461 (1938)). Thus, Custis contemplated that the procedural bar applied in cases where defendants waived their right to counsel. [¶ 7.] The federal circuits analyzing Custis confirm that conclusion. See United States v. Rubio, 629 F.3d 490, 493-94 (5th Cir.2010) (denying collateral attack on prior convictions because the defendant failed to meet his burden of showing an invalid waiver of counsel); United States v.

See id. at 1004-05, 102 S.Ct. 2777; see also Edwards v. Habib, 397 F.2d 687, 691 (D.C. Cir. 1968) (“[I]f, for constitutional purposes, every private right were transformed into governmental action by the mere fact of court enforcement of it, the distinction between private and governmental action would be obliterated.”). Thus, when a court merely enforces obligations explicitly assumed by the parties, there is no state action. See Cohen, 501 U.S. at 669-70, 111 S.Ct. 2513. To hold otherwise would mean that courts could never enforce non-disclosure agreements. See United Egg Producers v. Standard Brands, Inc., 44 F.3d 940, 943 (11th Cir. 1995) ().

It is relevant on the issue of a witness’s credibility and to explain why witnesses may have given conflicting statements concerning a crime. See United States v. Montes-Diaz, 208 F. App’x 565, 566 (9th Cir.2006) (); People v.

AAMCO Transmissions, Inc., 33 F.3d 774, 778 (7th Cir.1994). Thus, it is “not essential that a complaint set forth the statutory basis for the court’s jurisdiction in order to assume jurisdiction, if the facts alleged provide a basis for the assumption of jurisdiction.” AmSouth Bank v. Dale, 386 F.3d 763, 779 (6th Cir.2004) (quoting Rohler v. TRW, Inc., 576 F.2d 1260, 1264 (7th Cir.1978)). See also Eriline Co. S.A. v. Johnson, 440 F.3d 648 (4th Cir.2006) (); Blanchard v.

As a mere passive recipient of the ShowBiz stock, a defendant here has only a small number of possible individual defenses, such as the claim that he only acted as a conduit for the actual recipients of the stock, or that he had a smaller number of shares than alleged. In such circumstances, a court’s conclusions regarding the primary legal and factual issues in the first case would not only form the basis for the application of stare decisis in subsequent eases; they would almost inevitably prove dispositive in those cases. See Lynch Corp. v. MII Liquidating Co., 82 F.R.D. 478, 483 (D.S.D.1979) (certifying defendant class of shareholders under (b)(1)(B)); Guy v. Abdulla, 57 F.R.D. 14, 18 (N.D.Ohio 1972) ().

(5) Whether the Court of Special Appeals allowed the equivalent of a disguised rezoning or unauthorized density transfer (a.k.a. De facto rezoning of the property)? 20 .

Even if the ALJ could be faulted for not including standing and walking in the hypothetical, any error was harmless in light of the ALJ’s unchallenged finding that Williams can perform a full range of light work. And the VE understood that Williams had an RFC to perform the full range of light work. Further, no medical evidence suggests Williams’ ability to walk or stand was limited. Lastly, we reject Williams’ contention that reversal is necessary because the ALJ allegedly failed to ask the VE whether the VE’s testimony can be reconciled with the DOT. See Hackett v.

Accordingly, we decline to address it. ¶ 16. Finally, the cases cited by plaintiff are unavailing. For example, in Cameron v.

By doing so, the sentencing authority narrows the class of persons eligible for the death penalty according to an objective legislative definition. See Zant, 462 U.S. at 878-79, 103 S.Ct. at 2743-44. The legislature must provide “clear and objective standards,” so that the sentencing authority is given “specific and detailed guidance,” and the process of imposing the death penalty is “rationally reviewable” on appeal. Godfrey v. Georgia, 446 U.S. 420, 428, 100 S.Ct. 1759, 1765, 64 L.Ed.2d 398 (1980) ().

Thus, when the affirmative defense of comparative negligence is raised, a negligence claim and the affirmative defenses of comparative and/or contributory negligence are inextricably intertwined.”). In a case raising the same issue as the one before us, the Kansas Court of Appeals reasoned as follows: The process of determining comparative fault, when only two parties are involved, is a “zero sum game.” When negligence is moved out of the plaintiffs column, it must move into the defendant’s column. Evidence that tends to exculpate plaintiff in a comparative fault case places fault upon the defendant, and evidence of subsequent remedial conduct to prove negligence is prohibited [by Rule 407]. DiPietro v. Cessna Aircraft Co., 28 Kan.

This case was submitted to the jury on February 24, 2003, judgment was entered on February 26, and Autocentro moved for judgment as a matter of law for the first time on March 10. Simply put, defendant’s failure to move for judgment as a matter of law at the close of evidence procedurally defaults this claim on appeal. See, e.g., Keisling, 19 F.3d at 758 ().

Adams, a court in this District held that, where the provisions of the plan clearly indicate that the designated joint survivor annuitant could not be changed once the participant retired, enforcing a waiver in a marital settlement agreement would violate the requirements of § 1104. See No. 99 Civ. 10784, 2003 WL 22383288, at *3 (S.D.N.Y. Oct. 17, 2003). “Unless a pension plan provides otherwise, once a participant retires, the designation of surviving annuitant is irrevocable even if the named annuitant waives all rights to the annuity.” Id.

State, supra, where we held violative of OCGA § 17-8-57 a trial court’s statement before jurors that “[v]enue is proper in Fayette County.” Although the trial court in the instant case did not specifically reference “venue” in its statement, we find no substantive difference between a court’s statement that “[v]enue is proper in Fayette County” and a statement that the crime “happened in Muscogee County.” Both statements inform or intimate to the jury the trial court’s opinion as to a critical element of the State’s case, thereby potentially influencing jurors in their evaluation of whether the State has met its burden of proof at trial.

Notably, several courts have applied a different test and a different presumption. Mainly, these courts have followed the view that, when two autonomous adults jointly occupy a dwelling and have separate bedrooms, each occupant generally has a higher expectation of privacy in his or her own bedroom. Absent some showing that one occupant has exercised control, retained control, or come to an understanding with other occupants that control will be shared over the others’ bedrooms, these courts start from the presumption that an occupant exercises sole control over his own bedroom and has no joint access to others’ bedrooms. The State can overcome this presumption 1990) (); Glenn v.

Town of Chapel Hill v. Fox, 120 N.C. App. 630, 632, 463 S.E.2d 421, 422 (1995). Plaintiffs concede that subpoenas were served on both expert witnesses for which defendants sought costs. In sum, we find no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s award of either deposition costs or of expert witness costs. Accordingly, the trial court’s order awarding costs to defendants is affirmed. AFFIRMED. Judge TYSON concurs. Judge JACKSON concurs in the result by separate opinion. 1 . We acknowledge that this Court’s opinions have been inconsistent with regard to deposition costs. Compare Oakes, 173 N.C. App. at 520, 620 S.E.2d at 48 (), with Morgan, 173 N.C.

As was in Herman, the disputed issues in this case include: (1) whether the Plan was an ERISA-covered pan, (2) whether Holman was a fiduciary as defined by ERISA, and (3) whether Holman breached his duty under ERISA. The Sixth Circuit has defined when a person is a “fiduciary” under an ERISA plan. See, e.g., Seaway Food Town, Inc. v. Medical Mut. of Ohio, 347 F.3d 610 (6th Cir. 2003) (discussing ERISA fiduciary status); Hamilton v. Carell, 243 F.3d 992, 998 (6th Cir.2001) (same). Similarly, several Sixth Circuit cases have discussed whether a fiduciary has breached his duty to ERISA plan participants. See, e.g., Abbott v. Pipefitters Local Union No. 522 Hosp., Medical, and Life Ben. Plan, 94 F.3d 236 (6th Cir.1996) (); Berlin v.

In the second hypothetical, a company with a phone bank lays off the oldest operator. The company could not prevail on a motion for judgment as a matter of law in such a case on the theory that a desire to eliminate the particular phone used by that operator was the sole motive for the lay-off. We proffer these extreme hypotheticals to clarify our decisions in similar cases. We have stressed that the similarity of the jobs held by an older and younger employee is the touchstone for determining whether a lay-off of the older may be found to be an ADEA violation by a trier of fact. In Maresco v. Evans Chemetics, Div. of W.R. Grace & Co., 964 F.2d 106, 111-12 (2d Cir.1992), for example, we held that an inference of discrimin 771 (10th Cir.1988) (); Meinecke v.

See Machete Productions, L.L.C. v. Page, 809 F.3d 281 (5th Cir.2015). The court held that because the Program statutes and regulations made clear that grants were discretionary, Machete Productions could not demonstrate that it had a clearly established right to the grant funds such .that it had a property interest in a Program grant that triggered the Due Process Clause. Id. at 290. The court also held that the Program's statutes and regulations were not unconstitutionally vague. Id. (citing National Endowment for the Arts v. Finley, 524 U.S. 569, 588-89, 118 S.

Perry v. Texas A & I Univ., 737 S.W.2d 106, 110 (Tex.App.—Corpus Christi 1987, writ ref'd n.r.e.). Thus, the burden is on the defendant to establish all elements of the defense. Montgomery v. Kennedy, 669 S.W.2d 309, 310-11 (Tex.1984). Government employees are entitled to official immunity from suit arising from the performance of their (1) discretionary duties in (2) good faith as long as they are (3) acting within the scope of their authority. Baker v. Story, 621 S.W.2d 639, 644 (Tex.Civ.App in pursuit and roadblock entitled to immunity). Several states that have recently considered the issue have also held that the actions of a police officer during a high-speed chase are discretionary. See, e.g., Pletan v. Gaines, 494 N.W.2d 38 (Minn.1992) (); Youngblood v.

Thus, despite the fact that both the Smiths and the Stillmans presented identical and purely legal questions, the Smiths were required to comply with the administrative process they started, while the Stillmans remained free to seek a declaratory judgment. Smith, 2007-NMSC-055, ¶¶ 17, 23-25, 27, 142 N.M. 786, 171 P.3d 300. In Smith, the question of law was limited to whether the agency “had [the] right to even make a decision.” Id. ¶ 17; see Baca, 2008-NMSC-047, ¶ 21, 144 N.M. 530, 189 P.3d 663 (stating that the validity of a contract presents a purely legal question); Stennis v.

Martin maintains that Local Rule 7 conflicts with Rule 6(e) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and that he in fact timely submitted his response because the federal rules trump the local rules, which gave him an additional three days to file his response. Rule 6(e) extends deadlines tied to service of process by mail. It states, “[wjhenever a party must or may act within a prescribed period after service and service is made under Rule 5(b)(2)(B), (C), or (D), 3 days are added after the prescribed period would otherwise expire under subdivision (a).” Fed.R.Civ.P. 6(e). Because Local Rule 7 requires action within twenty days of filing, as opposed to service, Rule 6(e) is inapplicable. See Lauzon v. Strachan Shipping Co., 782 F.2d 1217 (5th Cir.1985) (). Rule 6(e) applies to those obligations ### Response: holding that rule 6e did not extend the period in which a workers compensation carrier was required to pay a compensation award under the longshore and harbor workers compensation act where the act required payment within ten days of filing of the order as opposed to within ten days of service of notice provided for in the rule " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of any of the other witnesses. Thus, only a small, albeit important, portion of the testimony admitted at trial was erroneously admitted. Defendant calls to our attention several cases in which courts, when faced with similar situations, have found that the admission of expert testimony, in sexual abuse cases, which vouches for the credibility of other witnesses constitutes reversible or even plain error, and our own research has unearthed several other such cases. See, e.g., Whitted, 11 F.3d at 786-87 (plain error); United States v. Birdsall, 47 M.J. 404, 410 (C.A.A.F.1998); see also, e.g., Commonwealth v.

Similarly, we conclude here that although the language requiring the trial to be held within thirty days is mandatory, the language is not necessarily jurisdictional because there are limited instances where the court would retain jurisdiction beyond the thirty-day time period, most notably where a continuance for good cause or in the interest of justice has been granted under section 394.916(2). The district courts in Kinder, Reese, and Osborne also made determinations that the language was not jurisdictional. Kinder, however, is the only decision that appears to recognize the analytical distinction between jurisdiction and whether the provision should be construed as mandatory or directory. See Kinder, 779 So.2d at 515 ().

Although the government argued that these references were “fleeting” and “insignificant,” the Court concluded that the “fairness, integrity [and] public reputation of judicial proceedings” were “seriously affected.” Id. at 26. Similarly, in United States v. Cabrera, 222 F.3d 590 (9th Cir.2000), the Court found that the government’s references to the drug market falling under the control of Cuban dealers, its suggestion that the Cubans were flight risks, and its description of how Cubans tended to package their drugs, were plain error where defendant was also Cuban. See also Withers v. United States, 602 F.2d 124, 125 (6th Cir.1979)().

Assuming arguendo that a protestor has standing to bring a bid protest, it would seem that the standing requirement to challenge an override should not be any higher. Such a determination, however, does not end the court’s inquiry since panels of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have taken different approaches regarding the evidence required to satisfy the “substantial chance” doctrine in a bid protest ease. Compare Information Tech. & Applications Corp. v. United States, 316 F.3d 1312, 1319 (Fed.Cir.2003) (a protestor must establish “that its chance of winning the award was ‘greater than ... insubstantial ... if successful on the merits of the bid protest.’ ”); with Alfa Laval Separation, Inc. v.

Dunaway v. New York, 442 U.S. 200, 204, 99 S.Ct. 2248, 60 L.Ed.2d 824 (1979). Therefore, the first step in our inquiry is to determine whether or not Appellant was “seized” within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment. Id. at 206-07, 99 S.Ct. 2248. A law enforcement officer can seize a person by either the use of physical force or a show of authority to which the person submits. California v. Hodari D., 499 U.S. 621, 625, 111 S.Ct. 1547, 113 L.Ed.2d 690 (1991); Johnson v. State, 912 S.W.2d 227, 232 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995). A show of authority occurs when, considering the totality of the circumstances, a reasonable person would have believed he was not free to leave. Michigan v.

Consequently, we agree with those circuits holding that, in states where civil rights are not removed for a misdemeanor conviction of a crime of domestic violence, an individual convicted of such a misdemeanor “cannot benefit from the federal restoration exception.” Smith, 171 F.3d at 623. One circuit has disagreed, seeing an inconsistency in a scheme that bars misde- meanants who have never had their civil rights removed from possessing a gun, but allowing those who have had their rights removed, but then restored, to possess a gun. See United States v. Wegrzyn, 305 F.3d 593, 595 (6th Cir.2002) ().

That argument might have some force if the Act banned large capacity weapons outright instead of licensing them. For example, in Peoples Rights Organization, Inc. v. City of Columbus, 152 F.3d 522 (6th Cir.1998), where the plaintiffs challenged successfully on vagueness grounds a municipal ordinance banning assault weapons, the preenforcement challenge was ripe for review because the law presented those plaintiffs with a “Hobson’s choice[:][t]hey [could] either possess their firearms in Columbus and risk prosecution under the City’s law, or, alternatively, they [could] store their weapons outside the City, depriving themselves of the use and possession of the weapons.” Peoples Rights Org., 152 F.3d at 529 (). Here, the plaintiffs have a third option: ### Response: holding that city ordinances ban on assault weapons was vague because the ordinance lacked a scienter requirement and its definitions of assault weapons inter alia unfairly required gun consumers to ascertain the developmental history of particular weapons or monitor the precise types of ammunition available for their weapons " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the extent that these arms of the state were citizens, they would unquestionably be diverse from defendants. Thus, one might argue that the fact that they are not citizens at all should not destroy federal juris diction, just as the fact that they are not citizens cannot create it. 22 .See, e.g., World Trade Center Props., L.L.C. v.

Accordingly, Section 1981’s territorial limitation is defined by the location of the subject of the discrimination, not by the location of the decisionmaker.

Thus even if the crosses offend plaintiffs, that offense is insufficient to entitle them to maintain suit. Notwithstanding the insufficiency of psychological injury, the Supreme Court has held that the required injury need not be severe and need not be economic. An example of a non-economic injury which the Supreme Court has held confers standing is the deprivation of a citizen’s beneficial use of a public park. See United States v.

According to the People, Kendall “deliberately contaminated the jury pool” by “publicly argu[ing] that the People lacked sufficient evidence to convict the Ford defendants,” directly resulting in Paris’s acquittal. People’s Br. at 19. This is pure conjecture, and as conjecture it is belied by the fact that Judge Carroll was ultimately able to select an impartial jury for Ford’s trial. More importantly, the Virgin Islands Supreme Court did not rely on this theory in convicting Kendall. Nor can we. Turner v. Louisiana, 379 U.S. 466, 472-73, 85 S. Ct. 546, 13 L.

We further conclude that it would have been highly unlikely that the new mental health evidence would have led the jury to render a verdict of guilty but mentally ill, which would not foreclose a death sentence in any event.

The Government argued that Benton’s prior convictions were all entitled to a presumption of regularity. The District Court, after reviewing Benton’s arguments with counsel in open court, agreed with the Government. Benton’s criminal history was pegged at Category IV. Using the total offense level of 23, the resulting Guidelines range was 70-87 months’ imprisonment. The District Court next discussed its sentencing rationale, and sentenced Benton to 70 months, which was the bottom of the suggested Guidelines range. Pursuant to the exception stated in his appellate waiver, Benton appealed the District Court’s calculation of his criminal history We apply a presumption of regularity to court proceedings.

There is clearly evidence that Caldwell peeped at each of the young victims’ privates. Finally, even if we were to assume arguendo subsection (D) of the statute applied, we find there is evidence Caldwell did intentionally look at the privates of the three young victims for more than just a brief period of time in other than a casual or cursory manner.

Thus, they are barred by NJLAD and § 1983’s statutes of limitations. Smith’s claims cannot be saved under the continuing violation theory, because an employer’s failure to promote is quintessentially a dis Crete employment action. See AMTRAK v.

Courts have held that the definition of “property” as used in § 541(a)(1) extends to causes of actions such as present in this case.

General Provision 76(c) clearly states: ""Unless specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer in writing, no construction will be started until the CQC plan is approved” (emphasis added). No written authorization to proceed was given to Avedon and' Avedon’s CQC plan had not been approved. The court thus finds no basis for Avedon’s reliance on this NTP and no basis for an unreasonable delay claim based on this incident. Even assuming arguendo it had a right to rely on the NTP, Avedon would be hard pressed to show the Navy delayed unreasonably subsequent to the NTP. The delay time after August 22 attributable to the Navy was only six days from August 31 to September 6. Cf. Joseph Corman Corp. v.

Both actions were consolidated on June 24, 2009. 3 . The district court dismissed Cooper's Title VII race discrimination claims concerning his transfer to Harvey as barred because Cooper’s EEOC charge addressing those claims was untimely filed. The district court did analyze Cooper’s adverse employment action claims under § 1981, noting that the Title VII framework was equivalent. Cooper does not challenge the dismissal of his Title VII race discrimination claims concerning his transfer to Harvey, and accordingly, we do not review the district court's dismissal of those claims. However, we do evaluate, as the district court did, Cooper’s § 1981 claims concerning his transfer to Harvey. 4 . Cf. Keeton v. Flying J, Inc., 429 F.3d 259, 265 n. 2 (6th Cir.2005) (); Policastro v.

Most of the claims were settled in a similar manner, at least until the scheme began to unravel. The use of an objective “probable loss” analysis is particularly appropriate in a case such as the one before us. Each substantive count was tied to a different accident and a corresponding attempt to defraud. Many of these discrete facets of the ongoing scheme had flowered into fully realized crimes for which the actual loss, i.e., the settlement with the insurance company, provides conclusive evidence of the probable loss. See United States v. Bailey, 975 F.2d 1028 (4th Cir.1992) ().

The availability of an award of backpay before the NLRB “does not mean that Congress necessarily intended this discretionary relief to constitute an exclusive pattern of money damages for private injuries.” Russell, 356 U.S. at 645, 78 S.Ct. 932. Indeed, the LMRDA, which was passed after the NLRA, authorizes federal courts to award “such relief (including injunctions) as may be appropriate.” 29 U.S.C. § 412. Courts have interpreted this provision to mean that punitive damages, compensatory damages, and attorney fees may be available under the LMRDA. See generally Hall v. Cole, 412 U.S. 1, 9, 93 S.Ct. 1943, 36 L.Ed.2d 702 (1973) (); Vandeventer v.

However, the court must make that identification before permitting trial of a CEPA claim under N.J.S.A. 34:19-3c.

Id. In this case, the prior kidnapping was clearly not similar fact evidence. Therefore, the focus of the inquiry is on whether it is relevant to the issue of premeditation; that is, whether the prior kidnapping is evidence that the murder in this case was not a heat-of-passion crime. And even if this evidence is probative, an important question still must be asked: whether the prejudicial effect of admitting the prior crime substantially outweighs its probative value. Although McWatters does not support the view that the prior kidnapping was relevant, I recognize that the prior kidnapping may be relevant under the case law relied upon by the trial court below in allowing the evidence. See Spencer v. State, 645 So.2d 377 (Fla.1994) (); King v.

Those conclusions, being based on faulty if unexpressed premises, are unsupportable. As such, this court finds that those cases do not represent a helpful, or appropriate, mode of analysis for the resolution of the issue presented here. A second approach, adopted by many courts, allows Hispanic plaintiffs and those of other ethnic groups to state a claim under section 1981 sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss. Nonetheless, these courts have required the plaintiffs to amend their complaints to allege “racial” discrimination and/or to bear the burden of producing evidence that the alleged discrimination was of a “racial,” as opposed to a national origin, character. See, Bullard v. OMI Georgia, Inc., 640 F.2d 632, 634 (5th Cir. 1981) (); Khawaja v.

We conclude SCWF alleged facts sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss for lack of standing. SCWF asserted that construction of the Connector would harm its members’ ability to use and enjoy the relevant area for a variety of educational, scientific, recreational, and aesthetic purposes, and that one or more of its members currently use the land for such purposes. Sierra Club v.

From such silence petitioners conclude that the section 469 issue involves a nonpartnership item within the meaning of section 6231(a)(4), to which section 6229 does not apply. Petitioners state in this regard that “Since the partnership items adjusted by the decision [i.e., the amount of losses] are irrelevant to the nature, duration, or quality of petitioners’ participation in the partnership’s activities, the [section] 469 issue cannot be an affected item under section 6231(a)(5).” Although the affected items regulations do not expressly mention section 469, we do not think that the regulations are meant to provide an exhaustive list of such items. See, e.g., Jenkins v. Commissioner, 102 T.C. at 555 (). Furthermore, we question petitioners’ ### Response: holding that section 104a classification by partner of a guaranteed payment is an affected item " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: may be situations in which a publicity campaign, ostensibly directed toward influencing governmental action, is a mere sham to cover what is actually nothing more than an attempt to interfere directly with the business relationships of a competitor and the application of the Sherman Act would be justified.” 365 U.S. at 144, 81 S.Ct. at 533. When the defendant claims that it is immune from liability based upon activities before an adjudicative body, the immunity can be overcome if the sham exception applies, although the elements of the exception are not entirely certain.

The statute does not discuss amendments to the indictment, but permits the submission of lesser included offense instructions. Sanders v. State, 479 So.2d 1097, 1105 (Miss.1985). Larceny is a lesser included offense of robbery, in that larceny contains all of robbery’s elements save force or threat of force. Jones v. State, 567 So.2d 1189, 1192 (Miss.1990). Moreover, several other states allow prosecution-sponsored amendments to lesser included offenses because the defendant is presumed to be on notice of lesser included offenses to the original charge. Williams v. United States, 641 A.2d 479, 482-83 (D.C. 1994) (). See also Green v.

Alternatively, Judge Finch found that he was compelled to dismiss plaintiffs’ ESA claims with respect to the Tree Boa for failure to provide proper notice to the Secretary and the alleged violator as required by 16 U.S.C. § 1540(g)(1)(A). Judge Finch did not address the merits of plaintiffs’ claims brought pursuant to § 9. C.Alternative Holdings Because Judge Finch determined that he did not have the power to hear plaintiffs’ ESA claims, any findings made with respect to the merit of those claims are not essential to the judgement and cannot support the application of collateral estoppel. See Stebbins v. Keystone Ins. Co., 481 F.2d 501, 508 (D.C.Cir.1973) (); Bokunewicz v.

This is because all dis-chargeability litigation involves real persons who are debtors under the Bankruptcy Code, and cannot afford to hire medical experts to testify to the effect of their disease on their disease on their earning capacity. When medical testimony is offered by the debtor it is to lay skepticism to rest, and in this writer’s experience the medical condition of any debtor has never been the subject of dueling experts in § 523(a)(8) litigation. 219 B.R. 665, 669 (Bankr.W.D.N.Y.1998). Yet despite this awareness, courts often hold that the debtor has failed to sustain his burden of proof. See Lowe, 321 B.R. at 860 (); Folsom, 315 B.R. at 165 (holding that the ### Response: holding without any substantive evidence to corroborate the debtors testimony regarding her medical conditions the court must find that the debtor has failed to sustain her burden under the second prong of the brunner test " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: is a matter committed to the sound discretion of the district court.” United States v. Clay, 483 F.3d 739, 743 (11th Cir.2007) (quotations omitted). Although we do not automatically presume that a sentence within the guidelines range is reasonable, we ordinarily expect that to be the case. United States v. Hunt, 526 F.3d 739, 746 (11th Cir.2008). A sentence well below the statutory maximum sentence also signals reasonableness. See Gonzalez, 550 F.3d at 1324. Moreover, we have held that a defendant’s sentence was reasonable in light of the command to avoid unwarranted sentencing disparities where, due to a defendant’s leadership role, he received a sentence greater than the sentences of his eodefendants. See, e.g., United States v. Thomas, 446 F.3d 1348, 1350, 1357 (11th Cir.2006) ().

But under § 1252(d), “[a] court may review a final order of removal only if — (1) the alien has exhausted all administrative remedies available to the alien as of right....” Appealing a decision of the BIA through a petition for review is not an administrative remedy-it is a judicial remedy. The government has apparently confused the concept of exhaustion of administrative remedies with the concept of procedural bar. Generally, a habeas petition cannot be used to substitute for direct appeal. Cf. United States v. Warner, 23 F.3d 287, 291 (10th Cir.1994) (); United States v.

The question that we must initially address, however, is whether the court erred in finding that the Roberts Affidavit was obtained in violation of Local Rule 5.01(d). This is a factual finding that we reverse only if clearly erroneous. See United States v. Floyd, 281 F.3d 1346, 1348 (11th Cir.2002). Having considered the bri t contact with jurors, the district court’s use of these powers is informed by interests important to the integrity of the judicial process. One such interest is the court’s strong 'interest in protecting jurors from threats and needless harassment from unsuccessful parties. McDonald v. Pless, 238 U.S. 264, 267, 35 S.Ct. 783, 784, 59 L.Ed. 1300 (1915) ().

As discussed infra, PlaintifPs failure to appeal the April 28, 2009 SBA size determination to the OHA prior to the May 8, 2009 award to VETS, as a matter of law, created a presumptively valid contract that now cannot be invalidated by the court. Chapman, 63 Fed.Cl. at 35. When the United States Court of Federal Claims has exercised jurisdiction to review SBA and OHA size determinations, it has recognized the non-justiciability of such cases, if the contract becomes presumptively valid by virtue of an award prior to the CO being notified of an appeal to the OHA.

Turner argues that her base offense level should have been 14, because she pled gui rner had not accepted responsibility for clear error. Denial of the adjustment because of continued criminal conduct after indictment is not clearly erroneous. United States v. Kidd, 12 F.3d 30, 34 (4th Cir.1993). We conclude that the district court did not clearly err in denying Turner the adjustment for continued drug use on pretrial release. Finally, in her supplemental brief, Turner asserts that the district court erred in applying the guidelines as a mandatory scheme to deny her a reduction for acceptance of responsibility. The court undeniably regarded the guidelines as mandatory, and therefore erred. United States v. White, 405 F.3d 208, 216-17 (4th Cir.2005) ().

We reject them without further discussion. 3 Smith v. TRCI, 259 Or App 11, 312 P3d 568 (2013), presented a similar issue. The petitioner in that case argued that a newsletter that announced a change in DOC rules was a rule that should have been adopted through rulemak-ing procedures. Id. at 15.

Another line of cases developed in this Circuit concludes that certain structures that float upon the water are not vessels. The clearest examples of such floating craft that do not qualify as vessels are dry docks and similar structures that maritime law has never considered, at least while secured to land, to be vessels. Cook v. Belden Concrete Prods., Inc., 472 F.2d 999, 1000-01 (5th Cir. 1973); see also Atkins v. Greenville Shipbuilding Corp., 411 F.2d 279 (5th Cir.1969).

Even if dot-intensity analysis were presumed to be generally accepted, the evidence should have been rejected here because the assumptions underlying it were so numerous, complex, problematic, and potentially flawed as to render it substantially more confusing and prejudicial than probative in this specific context.

Therefore, the court shall assume that Pecoraro’s CHRO case qualifies as ""an investigation, proceeding, or hearing” under Title VII. 5 . Additionally, courts outside this Circuit, faced with factual circumstances similar to the facts at bar, have also read the participation clause in a broad and expansive manner to honor Title VII's remedial goals. See, e.g., Glover v. S.C. Law Enforcement Div., 170 F.3d 411, 413-14 (4th Cir.1999) (finding that the use of participation clause claim is not determined based on an employee’s testimony regardless of how unreasonable that testimony may be, and to hold otherwise ""would do violence to the text of that provision and would undermine the objectives of Title VII.”); Merritt v.

Also on appeal from the divorce decree, Colleen argues that the district court abused its discretion by not compelling Terry to prepare and turn over certain tax returns for the purpose of the division of community property and debt. Yet, in her opening brief, Colleen states that she does not challenge the district court’s division of community property and debt, but rather is challenging the fact that the court declined her request for pretrial discovery. Since Colleen does not challenge the ultimate distribution of community property and debt, we do not reach her argument concerning pretrial discovery. See Cottonwood Cove Corp. v.

See Fed. R. Evid. 402, 403. Because we conclude that other evidence is sufficient to support the interstate/foreign commerce nexus, we need not address this argument. 2 . Cf. United States v. Thomas, 159 F.3d 296, 297 (7th Cir. 1998) (finding that the Government sufficiently proved an interstate nexus under the Hobbs act by pointing to evidence that the cocaine an informant had planned to sell to defendants was from South America); United States v.

For example, in Skinner, the Court acknowledged the axiomatic nature of the governmental interest in ensuring the safety of the public “and of the employees themselves.” Skinner, 489 U.S. at 621, 109 S.Ct. 1402; see also Von Raab, 489 U.S. at 669-71, 109 S.Ct. 1384 ().

Cf Fed.R.Civ.P. 34(b); 4A J. Moore, J. Lucas & D. Epstein, Moore’s Federal Practice § 34.19 (2d ed. 1984). In this case, we cannot say that the trial court abused its discretion in overruling the petitioner’s objection as to the requested place of production. Discovery which is otherwise appropriate should not be refused solely because production of documents would hamper a party’s business operations. Id. at § 34.19[2], See also Baxter Travenol Laboratories, Inc. v. LeMay, 93 F.R.D. 379 (S.D. Ohio 1981) ().

However, strict compliance with the statute’s provisions was necessary before the circuit court could exercise its subject-matter jurisdiction and enter judgment on the award. Absent such compliance, the court lacked the authority to enter judgment, and the prevailing party was relegated to his common law remedies. See Low v.

The ALJ de nied the motions to dismiss and the Commissioner adopted the ALJ’s decision. The Henrys and Skarphol appealed to the district court, which affirmed the Commissioner’s order. On appeal to this Court, the Henrys and Skarphol contend the administrative actions against them should be dismissed because the Commissioner violated N.D.C.C. § 10-04-12(2) by faffing to set the hearings within 30 days of their requests.

See § 12-15-314(a)(3)e. (“Unless the juvenile court finds it not in the best interests of the child, a willing, fit, and able relative shall have priority for placement or custody over a non-relative.”). In light of that finding, which we conclude was fully supported by the evidence in the record, although that evidence was in some respects conflicting, we hold that the juvenile court did not err in determining that the best interests of the children would not be served by placing the children in the custody of the maternal grandmother. See M.H.J. v. State Dep’t of Human Res., 785 So.2d 372 (Ala.Civ.App.2000) (). AFFIRMED.

That’s one of the elements the Commonwealth has to prove. We’re asking that that duty be defined.” As noted above, the jury acquitted Barrett of involuntary manslaughter. Accordingly, because Barrett failed to put this argument before the trial court in relation to the instructions pertaining to felony child neglect, we do not consider it for the first time on appeal. See Rule 5A:18; see also West Alexandria Prop. v. First Va. Mort., 221 Va. 134, 138, 267 S.E.2d 149, 151 (1980) (“On appeal, though taking the same general position as in the trial court, an appellant may not rely on reasons which could have been but were not raised for the benefit of the lower court.”); Floyd v. Commonwealth, 219 Va. 575, 584, 249 S.E.2d 171, 176 (1978) ().

We therefore do not decide whether the record creates a triable issue of ""deliberate indifference.” We are quite doubtful, however, that the evidence shows more than some degree of negligence, which may not violate the due process clause, see Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327, 332-34 & n. 3, 106 S.Ct. 662, 665-66 & n. 3, 88 L.Ed.2d 662 (1986) (). 3 .

In Willis, we held that an unborn viable fetus is not a “human being” within the meaning of the vehicular homicide statute. The Court reasoned that since the Legislature first enacted homicide statutes, in which the killing of a human being and the killing of an unborn infant child were separately addressed, “it does not follow that the Legislature meant to include viable fetus within the definition of human being without specifically making provision therefor.” Id. {8} Since Willis, the Legislature has enacted statutes that demonstrate its intention to distinguish an unborn viable fetus from “human being.” See NMSA 1978, § 30-3-7 (2006) (stating that “[i]njury to 190, 894 P.2d 733, 737 (Ct.App.1995) (); State v.

After reviewing the plain lan guage of section 39-13-208, along with the provisions of Rules 3 and 9 of the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure, we conclude that interlocutory review is appropriate. In 1990, the Tennessee General Assembly, following the lead of the Georgia and Maryland state legislatures, made the policy decision to prohibit the execution of any defendant “with mental retardation at the time of committing first degree murder.” Tenn.Code Ann. § 39-13-203(b) (2003). This statutory prohibition was followed by this Court’s decision in Van Tran v. State, 66 S.W.3d 790 (Tenn.2001), in which we held that execution of mentally retarded persons was constitutionally prohibited as well. Id. at 809 ().

A statutory dedication is “in the nature of a grant,” while a common-law dedication “rests upon the principles of estoppel in pais.” Cole, at 357. The dedication, therefore, is regarded not as transferring a right, but as operating to preclude the owner from resuming his right of private property, or indeed any use inconsistent with the public use. The ground of the estoppel is that to reclaim the land would be a violation of good faith to the public and to those who have acquired private property with a view to the enjoyment of the use contemplated by the dedication. Ark. State Highway Comm. v. Sherry, 238 Ark. 127, 381 S.W.2d 448, 451 (1964); Whittom v. Alexander-Richardson Partnership, 851 S.W.2d 504, 508 (Mo.1993) ().

See id. at 908-09 (defining retrograde extrapolation as “the computation back in time of the blood-alcohol level — that is, the estimation of the level at the time of driving based on a test result from some later time”).

Using that logic, a request to speak with anyone would amount to an invocation. We decline to adopt so broad a rule. 9 It is for this reason that we reject defendant's argument that the officers were obligated to re-administer his Miranda\ warnings to him after the call to his mother ended and before they continued with their interrogation.

Whit-tington’s theory sounds plausible, but he points to no law really supporting it — and as is discussed below, there are numerous cases running in the other direction, including in practically the exact same context as here. a. Constitutional Standing Whittington does not clearly delineate whether his “standing” argument is Article Ill/constitutional or prudential/statutory in nature. Insofar as Whit-tington challenges Plaintiffs’ constitutional standing, that challenge is plainly wrong, under clear Fifth Circuit law. See, e.g., Ensley v.

Oh-man appeals pro se the district court’s judgment denying his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 habeas petition, which challenged the calculation of his good conduct time credits by the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”). We dismiss this appeal as moot. Ohman contends that he was deprived of good conduct time credits under the BOP’s interpretation of 18 U.S.C. § 3624(b)(1). Because Ohman has been released from BOP custody, we lack the ability to grant habeas remedy for his alleged injury. See Munoz v. Rowland, 104 F.3d 1096, 1097 (9th Cir.1997); see also United States v. Johnson, 529 U.S. 53, 58-60, 120 S.Ct. 1114,146 L.Ed.2d 39 (2000) ().

Recent cases on the bread determination before the injury occurred, alleging an imminent threat to life or health, this Court would have had the statutory authority to provide prospective relief for benefits allegedly due under the plan, perhaps averting this catastrophe.

Varity Corp., 516. U.S. at 514-15. Because § 1303(f) does not provide various specific remedies for different types of fiduciary conduct, but simply provides a broad right of action that is not explicitly limited according to the substance of a participant’s claim, there is no reason that plaintiffs cannot frame their claim as involving PBGC’s breach of its fiduciary duties of care and loyalty in interpreting Plan documents, even though they could, in theory, bring a separate action to appeal the denial of their benefits.

Meisel conveyed this information to the uniformed officer who patted appellant down. According to Deputy Palcios, the object was located in an area where people commonly carry weapons. Deputy Palcios also explained they thought it suspicious appellant had not entered the metal detector area at the airport. These specific and articulable facts reasonably led the officers to conclude appellant might possess a weapon. See Roy, 55 S.W.3d at 157 (); see also Pennsylvania v.

Appellant tries to dismiss this behavior by asserting that nervousness “is an entirely natural reaction” to the presence of law enforcement and that Ms. Lewis might have “had any number of reasons” to give the police a “single inaccurate statement.” Even if these assertions were true, “[a] determination that reasonable suspicion exists ... need not rule out the possibility of innocent conduct.” United States v. Arvizu, 534 U.S. 266, 277, 122 S.Ct. 744, 151 L.Ed.2d 740 (2002).

PI. Mot at 18-19. This argument, however, fails to recognize that the court’s jurisdiction is dependant on the doctrine of equitable subrogation. United Surety, 87 Fed.Cl. at 587 (“Because United Surety became a performing and paying surety for Selpa, United Surety has satisfied the jurisdictional requirements of the Tucker Act under the doctrine of equitable subrogation.”). Although a surety bond creates a third-party relationship, the surety does not assume privity of contract with the Government. Ransom v. United States, 900 F.2d 242, 244-45 (Fed.Cir.1990) ().

(ck) App. at 2. 6 . The question has recently arisen in the courts of appeals as to whether Rules 3 and 4 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure are rules that govern subject-matter jurisdiction (that may not be waived) or are merely ""inflexible claim-processing” rules (that may be waived). This concern was sparked by the Supreme Court’s recent holdings in Eberhart v. United States, - U.S. -, 126 S.Ct. 403, 407, 163 L.Ed.2d 14 (2005) (per curiam) (), and Kontrick v.

It is clear that the claims of excessive noise levels and the analysis of the OSHA regulations dealing with time weighted averages “present technical issues beyond the common experience and understanding of the average jury.” In re Amtrak “Sunset Ltd.” Train Crash, 188 F.Supp.2d at 1347. Although fellow employees with extensive experience in the Patchogue Yard may be able to offer testimony on their subjective impressions of the noise level of the DE and DM warning devices, they lack the technical expertise necessary to analyze whether the decibel levels of the horns were in fact higher than those of the older trains’ horns or whether these horns caused plaintiffs loss of hearing. See Thirkill v. J.B. Hunt Transp., Inc. 950 F.Supp. at 1107 (). While plaintiffs expert, Dr. Danziger, opines ### Response: holding that njeither the plaintiff nor fellow crewmen are qualified to testify as design experts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Given the unique circumstances of this case, we disagree. The victim initially told police that Peals attacked her for no reason. At trial, the victim testified that she was intoxicated and was the aggressor. Further, the victim testified that she lied to the police because she was angry with Peals. The portions of the record attached to the trial court’s order show that the victim was the only witness to testify at trial about her intoxication. Because the victim admitted at trial that she lied, the jury may have been disinclined to believe her testimony. Peals, who asserted self-defense, may have been prejudiced by counsel’s failure to corroborate her testimony concerning her intoxication with the testimony of medical personnel. Cf. Kegler v. State, 712 So.2d 1167 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998) (). Accordingly, the trial court is directed to ### Response: holding in rule 3850 proceeding that trial counsel s failure to impeach witness with statements he made on night of murder was not reasonable under the circumstances " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: arisen in an action “for the recovery of money only, or specific real * * * property.” Nor are we persuaded that appellants’ counterclaims transformed the action into one “for the recovery of * * * personal property.” Even if we were to so characterize appellants’ counterclaims, based upon their prayer for a declaration requiring the intestate distribution of the property, such relief would merely be incidental to the declaratory relief sought and would ripen only upon the entry of declaratory relief favorable to appellants. See Murello Constr. Co., supra, 29 Ohio App.3d at 334, 29 OBR at 461-462, 505 N.E.2d at 638. We conclude, instead, that the relief sought was primarily and predominantly equitable.

The failure of the appellate counsel to provide effective assistance resulted in the petitioner being denied his rights under the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the provisions of the Alabama Constitution, and Alabama law.” (C.R. 41.) This paragraph constitutes Madison’s entire argument on this issue. The circuit court when denying relief stated: “Madison does not argue his appellate counsel was disbarred because of his performance in Madison’s case nor does he proffer any facts in his Rule 32 petition indicating how he was prejudiced due to his appellate counsel being disbarred. See Adkins v. State, [930 So.2d 524] (Ala.Crim.App.2001) ().

According to Meyerland, ""the district court [should] take the state judgment as it finds it, prepare the record as required for appeal, and forward the case to a federal appellate court for review.” Id., 960 F.2d at 520; see also Matter of 5300 Memorial Investors, Ltd., 973 F.2d 1160, 1162 (5th Cir.1992) (citing Meyerland). We further note that the district court's failure to reenter the state court judgment on a document separate from its order, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 58, does not deprive this Court of jurisdiction. See Bankers Trust Co. v. Mollis, 435 U.S. 381, 387, 98 S.Ct. 1117, 1121, 55 L.Ed.2d 357 (1978) (). 10 . We reject at the outset the plaintiffs’ ### Response: holding that the same principles of commonsense that led the court to conclude that the technical requirements for a notice of appeal were not mandatory where the notice did not mislead or prejudice the appellee demonstrate that parties to an appeal may waive the separatejudgment requirement of rule 58 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knowingly and intentionally became a member of the single conspiracy alleged in the indictment as opposed to some other conspiracy. Proof that the defendant was only a member of some other conspiracy is not enough to convict. However, proof that a defendant was a member of some other conspiracy would not prevent you from returning a guilty verdict if the government also proved that the defendant was also a member of the conspiracy charged in the indictment. (J.A. at 3839, 3849.) The first portion of this instruction is a correct statement of law. A jury need not find that a defendant conspired with all the alleged co-conspirators in order to convict a defendant of conspiracy. See United States v. Sandy, 605 F.2d 210, 217 (6th Cir.1979) (); see also United States v.

We grant transfer to address these matters. The essence of the employment-at-will doctrine is that an employment contract of indefinite duration is presumptively terminable at the will of either party. McClanahan v. Remington Freight Lines (1988), Ind., 517 N.E.2d 390, 392; Streckfus v. Gardenside Terrace Cooperative, Inc. (1987), Ind., 504 N.E.2d 273, 275. The doctrine is deeply rooted in Indiana jurisprudence. See Campbell v. Eli Lilly & Co. (1980), Ind.App., 413 N.E.2d 1054, 1060. The doctrine has only rarely been limited. See, e.g., Bochnowski v. Peoples Fed. Sav. & Loan (1991), Ind., 571 N.E.2d 282, 285 (allowing claim for tor-tious interference with at-will employment relationship); McClanahan v. Remington Freight, Inc.

Appellant asserts that the trial court erred in excluding this evidence. An accused in a criminal case is allowed to introduce evidence of a specific good character trait to show that it is improbable that he committed the offense charged, where that character trait is relevant to the offense. See Tex.R. Evid. 404(a)(1); Thomas v. State, 669 S.W.2d 420, 423 (Tex.App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1984, pet. ref'd). If evidence of a person’s character or character trait is admissible, proof may be made through reputation or opinion testimony. See Tex.R. Evid. 405(a). However, specific instances of conduct are inadmissible to show an inference that the accused did or did not commit the offense. See, e.g., Schmidt v. State, 449 S.W.2d 39, 40 (Tex.Crim.App.1969) (); Garcia v. State, 819 S.W.2d 667, 668 ### Response: holding that while the defendant may offer reputation evidence on his lawabiding character he may not testify that he has never been in trouble " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: has not detected •any changes or. mood swings in appellant. Plunkett also testified that appellant’s family is supportive. The family has visited appellant in inpatient care, along with the child born from appellant’s 1999 pregnancy. Plunkett said that there have been no problem with the family visits. As with Dr. Howland and Dr. Moeller, Plunkett opined that appellant is ready to be transferred to outpatient care. Plunkett also signed a report finding that appellant “has reached the maximum benefit from hospitalization.” This evidence does not support the trial court’s finding that appellant is likely to cause serious harm to others as a result of her mental illness. Not a single expert testified that appellant is aggressive, either verbally or physically. See K.E.W., 315 S.W.3d at 24 ().

Pothier, 104 N.M. 363, 364, 721 P.2d 1294, 1295 (1986) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

The First Circuit held that there was no invidious discrimination in the employer’s decision partially to terminate benefits where a legitimate business justification for the decision was readily apparent.

But more to the point, the Rooftops fail to acknowledge that a primary function of a contract is to allocate risks between parties. Here, the risk is that future expansions of Wrigley Field will obstruct the Rooftops’ views. Section 6.5 provides a mechanism for the parties to dispute the Cubs’ proposed expansion projects. Section 6.6 declares that if the Cubs prevail in the dispute, their projects may proceed. That is precisely what occurred here—the Rooftops vigorously opposed the Cubs’ expansion efforts, but ultimately lost. The parties were free to allocate risk in a different manner, but chose not to do so. See McClure Eng’g Assocs., Inc. v. Reuben H. Donnelly Corp., 95 Ill.2d 68, 69 Ill.Dec. 183, 447 N.E.2d 400, 402-03 (1983) ().

Appellant also apparently argues the State, at least at one point, believed Officer Hernandez’s 2006 termination was relevant, admissible evidence because the State originally disclosed this evidence to appellant in a Brady filing.

After a thorough review of the record and consideration of the parties’ briefs, we affirm. The district court did not abuse its substantial discretion in imposing Rule 11 sanctions against O’Shaughnessy. See Cooter & Gell v.

Bradford argues that these two verdicts are inconsistent because first-degree heat-of-passion manslaughter requires intent whereas first-degree domestic abuse murder requires extreme indifference. We disagree. While domestic abuse murder only requires extreme indifference, it does not preclude the possibility that a higher level of intent may be present. See, e.g., State v.

See Hecker, 556 F.3d at 583. In Hecker, an investment services company offered a 401(k) plan a limited menu of investment options. Because the parties’ contract expressly gave the plan the “final say” on which investment options would be included, the court held that the investment services company was not a fiduciary: “no authority ... holds that limiting funds automatically creates discretionary control sufficient for fiduciary status.” Id. The Court s the authority to change investment options did give rise to fiduciary status. See Charters, 583 F.Supp.2d at 199 (); Haddock v. Nationwide Fin.

So if the district court finds that its original findings were limited to “at least 1.5 kilograms,” the court will need to go further. It will need to examine the entire record before it at the time of the original sentencing to see if it can make any further findings that will resolve the issue of whether 8.4 kilograms or more of crack cocaine should be attributed to Hamilton. See, e.g., United States v. Moore, 582 F.3d 641, 646 (6th Cir.2009) (); United States v.

Specifically, it grants “equal access to the jails of this state” to any “person who holds a valid bail agent’s license.” I.C. § 27-10-3-18. In entitling bail agents to equal access to Indiana’s jails, the statute ensures that bail agents can do business on the same terms. And while the public might receive a benefit from that business, any public benefit is ancillary to the direct benefit conferred on bail agents. Nonetheless, Sheriff Galloway contends that the IDOI has the authority to enforce Indiana’s Bail Law, codified at Title 27, Article 10 of the Indiana Code. Accordingly, he continues, the Equal Access Law cannot create a private cause of action. See, e.g., Coons v. Kaiser, 567 N.E.2d 851, 852 (Ind.Ct.App.1991) (). We cannot agree.

Only where there is such a failure does § 252(e)(5) obligate the Commission to step in. Otherwise - such as where the state agency actually “makes a determination” under § 252 - there is no statutory basis for FCC preemption. Under such circumstances, an aggrieved party may bring an action for judicial review in federal court under § 252(e)(6), or, if that provision is inapplicable and there is no federal question at issue, in state court.

We conclude that exclusion “m” applies to the homeowners’ negligent-construction (addition) claim because the damage claimed was to addition work performed entirely by RDI. But the negligent-construction (original house) claim is not excluded by paragraph “m.” Specifically, the work performed on the original house by RDI was limited to the remodel and installation of the master bedroom window and other trim work. We read exclusion “m” to exclude the work performed by RDI on portions of the original house but exclusion “m” does not apply to adjacent walls and structures that had moisture damage caused by the work performed by RDI.

The defendants do not distinctly challenge these allegations and the district court did not address the issue. We assume this claim satisfies Rule 9(b). Claim 2—Breach of Fiduciary Duty. The plaintiffs raise solely a derivative claim of breach of fiduciary duty. Because this claim fails under Rule 23.1(a), we need not address the defendants’ arguments under Rule 9(b). Claim S—Fraud.

Six years had transpired.” To permit this medical malpractice action to proceed beyond the statute of repose would be to disregard the Tort Claims Act, particularly sections 15-78-40 and 15-78-50(b). Having found Hospital was entitled to summary judgment based on the statute of repose, we need not reach the additional ground relied upon by the trial court. Wilson v.

There, the Eighth Circuit opined that a claim relates to an ERISA plan when it “premises a cause of action on the existence of an ERISA plan....” Id. Applying the Eighth Circuit’s test to the case at bar, it is clear the Van Nattas’ state law claims are preempted in their entirety. Reducing the Van Nattas’ complaint to its core reveals the fact that all of their state law claims are premised upon alleged improper processing of a claim for benefits under an employee-benefit plan. As the Supreme Court and Eighth Circuit have previously reiterated, such claims undoubtedly meet the criteria for preemption under § 514(a), even if the state statutes at issue do not expressly make reference to ERISA plans.

Thus, the only issue in dispute is whether the disclosure of the requested information could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. Given the nature of law enforcement records, the individual’s “privacy interest at stake is substantial.” SafeCard Serv., Inc. v. S.E.C., 926 F.2d 1197, 1205 (D.C.Cir.1991); see also Bast v.

The district court found that the Fire District’s violations arose out of its failure to understand the Act’s requirements. The court found that this failure was careless, but inadvertent. The Fire District, in the court’s view, had not intended to violate the Act and had complied with the Act from the time that it learned about the Act’s requirements. The court concluded that there was “no evidence of any threatened future violation.” The record supports all these findings. We therefore find no abuse of the district court’s legal authority to determine whether or not a permanent injunction is needed. See Brock v. Big Bear Market No. 3, 825 F.2d 1381, 1383 (9th Cir.1987) ().

Second, Swadow’s alleged conduct toward Hopkins was sexually neutral or, at most, ambiguous. According to Hopkins, Swadow bumped into him, positioned a magnifying glass over his crotch, flipped his tie over to see its label, gave him a congratulatory kiss in the receiving line at Hopkins’ wedding, and stared at him in the bathroom. Notably, Hopkins has not asserted that Swadow ever made an overt sexual proposition or touched Hopkins in a sexual manner. While Swa-dow’s conduct was undoubtedly tasteless and inappropriately forward, we cannot conclude that it was “of the type that would interfere with a reasonable person’s work performance ... to the extent required by Title VII.” Morgan v.

The SJC concluded that John’s confession was voluntary, discussing both John’s impression of the relevant meeting with Novak and his possible motivation for confessing to the FBI agent.

In the context of the present case, the question is whether the amended statute applies to prisoners convicted for offenses committed before the provision’s effective date. See Weaver, 450 U.S. at 31, 101 S.Ct. at 965, 67 L.Ed.2d at 24. Clearly, it does. The DOC has implemented a policy making any inmate required to participate in the SOTP who refuses treatment, is removed from treatment, or fails to meet program completion criteria ineligible for earned time. Therefore, the amended statute applies to prisoners such as Propp who were convicted for an offense committed before the amendment’s effective date. The amendment is, therefore, retrospective. See Stansbury v. Hannigan, 265 Kan. 404, 960 P.2d 227, 235-36 (1998) ().

Ion has failed to rebut this argument. Ion makes two arguments for limitations based on language found within the specification. First, Ion points to language from the specification that both introduces the patent and comments on its preferred embodiment. Ion argues that this language necessarily narrows the dictionary definition of “value” because the specification disavows certain forms that a value can take. If language within the specification disclaims a usage or distinguishes its patent application from prior art on the basis of a different type of use, the claim construction should reflect these self-imposed limitations.

Additionally, many team members neither met nor corresponded with other members of their team. Thus, the “economic reality” is that investors maintained a passive involvement with their investment while expecting profits to be derived solely from the efforts of TDH. See Forman, 421 U.S. at 848, 95 S.Ct. at 20 Co., 212 F.3d 180, 189 (3rd Cir.2000) ().

Sourant argues Murphy Farrell is not entitled to declaratory relief because, among other reasons, the right-of-first-refusal provision violates the rule against perpetuities and, alternatively, Sourant did not breach the provision. But because the trial court ruled Sourant breached the provision, it necessarily found the provision valid and enforceable. The propriety of that ruling is not raised on appeal and is therefore final and serves as law of the case. See Bogard v. Cannon & Wendt Elec.

State Farm is correct that the Rigsbys relied on Dr. Ralph Sinno’s “wracking” theory at trial, but wracking is not a “theory of fraud” about which the Rigsbys could have been whistleblowers.

Testimony of Tezzie Smith In his final ### Response: holding that preservation of the specific argument in support of the ground for reversal is required for appellate review " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Just as this court should ""respect and carefully weigh the views of other circuits,” United States v. Stone, 9 F.3d 934, 941 (11th Cir.1993), a district court should do likewise. However, only the decisions of the Supreme Court and this court are binding on the district courts of this circuit. 16 . It should also be noted that the caselaw is replete with opinions that conflict with the standard asserted by the Growers. In many cases involving the FLSA, courts found that a certain item, which was obviously not directly connected to the performance of the employee’s principal activity, was nevertheless primarily for the benefit of the employer. See, e.g., Brennan v. Modern Chevrolet Co., 363 F.Supp. 327, 333 (N.D.Tex.1973), aff'd, 491 F.2d 1271 (5th Cir.1974) (affirming without opinion) (); Masters v. Md. Mgmt.

Accordingly, Clayborn asserts that Detective Hall could not ask for his license and registration because it was not reasonably related to the circumstances that justified the traffic stop. We disagree. On appeal from a district court’s denial of a motion to suppress evidence, this court reviews, the factual findings for clear error and the question of whether a Fourth Amendment violation occurred de novo. United States v. Allegree, 175 F.3d 648, 650 (8th Cir.1999). Clayborn does not challenge the factual finding that Detective Hall’s traffic stop was justified and lawful, because it was based on an objectively reasonable, although mistaken, belief that a traffic violation had occurred. See United States v. Peltier, 217 F.3d 608, 610 (8th Cir.2000) (). Therefore, the issue is whether the ### Response: holding the fact that officers belief proved to be mistaken does not negate a finding of probable cause " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Rev. at 1404, the employer’s clear breach of the employment contract, the employer’s benefit in terms of enhanced chances of mitigation and the public’s interest in “the need for stability in labor relations,” Pierce, 84 N.J. at 66, plaintiff retains his cause of action for breach of contract. We are confident that in the modern employment context where there is a position-specific employment contract and an employee resigns after his employer without justification forces that employee to choose from among demotion, termination or resignation, it must be concluded that the employer remains subject to liability for that breach unless facts clearly demonstrate a fairly bargained release of the employer.

Its only real probative value is to establish the criminal propensities of those involved. And even if this evidence did have some probative worth, the details of the Amoco double homicide are so chilling that its prejudicial impact substantially outweighs any such probative value. The admission of this evidence thus constitutes error that is plain. See United States v. Lejarde-Rada, 319 F.3d 1288, 1291 (11th Cir.2003) (“It is the law of this circuit that, at least where the explicit language of a statute or rule does not specifically resolve an issue, there can be no plain error where there is no precedent from the Supreme Court or this Court directly resolving it.”); United States v.

He noted that “some courts” have held that 60 days is a reasonable time. The court granted Smith’s motion to dismiss on March 8, 2005, and plaintiffs timely appealed.

There is no evidence that the trial court failed to adequately consider the circumstances surrounding the settlement. While the settlement amount may have been less than the amount of compensation benefits which Henkels paid to Pederson, the Act does not require a workers’ compensation settlement agreement to fully compensate the employer in order to be valid.

In the prior discussion of this case, this Court determined that a covenant of good faith and fair dealing was implied in the parties’ oral, at-will, employment contract. The basis for this holding was the employer’s promulgation of an employees’ handbook, two years after Gates began employment. The handbook provided certain guidelines for termination of employees.

Moreover, the records of Los Angeles County, where Earlean resided, produced a petition for divorce filed by Wesley, but no final decree. Therefore, although there was no evidence of any further search of court records, there was sufficient substantial evidence to support the ALJ’s finding that the presumption of validity had been overcome.

Conclusion We agree with Gallaher, ### Response: holding that search of pertinent public records not required if evidence presented and inferences drawn therefrom show that first marriage is valid " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: The record demonstrates that the defense was tendered at the earliest feasible time. Moreover, Continental has consistently refused coverage, and there is no evidence that Continental would have responded favorably to an earlier tender. Under these circumstances, substantially different from those surrounding the tender in SCSC, there is no legal cause shown why Domtar should not be entitled to recover its pre-tender defense costs from Continental. 7. Additional attorney fee issues. Continental raises several additional attorney fee issues. Each merits brief attention. a. Continental, in effect, has asked us to overrule the supreme court’s decision in Morrison v. Swenson, 274 Minn. 127, 142 N.W.2d 640 (1966), where the court concluded that an insured may recover its legal fees incurr 7 (). In Independent Sch. Dist. No. 697 v.

Plaintiffs argue that even if Durham’s right to an accounting was foreclosed, factual issues existed concerning the date the statute of limitations began to run on their claims of fraud, breach of constructive trust, breach of contract, and violation of the UPA. They contend these issues involve separate and distinct claims which may be asserted independently of their right to an accounting. {31} We think each of these arguments fails as to Durham. New Mexico follows the general rule that an action for a formal accounting is a prerequisite to initiating an action at law by a partner against the partnership or another partner. See Willey v. Renner, 8 N.M. 641, 646, 45 P. 1132, 1134 (1896) () (cited with approval in Levy v.

Brown, 7 Vet.App. 359, 367 (1995) (in ordering medical opinion on remand in dependency and indemnity compensation case, VA should “consider the feasibility of requesting that the physician express in percentage terms the probability that the veteran’s service-connected disability caused or contributed to death”). The Court holds that DC 5201 does not subsume 38 C.F.R. § 4.40, and that 38 C.F.R. § 4.14 does not forbid consideration of a higher rating based on a greater limitation of motion due to pain on use including during flare-ups.

Because Dr. DeYoub did not testify, it is impossible to determine from the report which of Dr. DeYoub’s conclusions were based on his direct observations of appellant, and which were based on the statements of other persons. Relatedly, it is impossible to determine which conclusions relied upon by the court were based on hearsay, or even double-hearsay, let alone determine if those statements might still be admissible under one of the exceptions to the hearsay rule, such as, for example, that found in Rule 803(4) of the Arkansas Rules of Evidence. Therefore, it was error for the circuit court to admit Dr. DeYoub’s report. See New Empire Ins. Co. v. Taylor, 235 Ark 758, 352 S.W.2d 4 (1962) (). Second, the trial judge relied upon Dr. ### Response: holding the report of doctor who was not present to testify and whose deposition had not been taken was properly excluded in action by insured against insurer on accident policy " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and ‘strongly recommend[ed]’ separate representation.” Id. at 2. Each Defendant thereafter executed a written Waiver of Right to Separate Representation. Dr. Migliaccio argues that such a waiver, based on specific knowledge of a contingent event, becomes void upon the happening of that contingency. We have found no authority to support this proposition. Instead, we look to the totality of the circumstances here — including each informative discussion of joint representation — to determine whether the Defendant’s Sixth Amendment rights have been violated. See Rodriguez, 968 F.2d at 139 (deeming “facts and circumstances” more significant than “the exact words used by the trial judge” to a waiver examination). Cf. United States v.

There is no indication or argument that Vonderahe improperly used this social security money for his own benefit and deprived his step-daughter of its use, nor that he ever requested that any withdrawal from her accounts be made to pay for ordinary household expenses. In fact, there is evidence that Fobar used it for her own personal benefit, as she testified that she used her daughter's social security money to pay for her own (Fo-bar's) college education. Under the circumstances, we cannot say the trial court abused its discretion by not awarding more property to Fobar based on her daughter's social security income. Cf. Gower v.

But the placement of the exclusion after the “general provisions” of the policy is entirely consistent with an interpretation of the exclusion as applying to “any claim,” regardless of the specific coverage under which the claimant seeks to recover. If, in fact, the exclusion applies only to the liability coverage, as plaintiffs contend, it is more logical that the exclusion would have been placed in the policy part for “liability to others.” We do not think the location of the exclusion supports an interpretation limiting the exclusion to the liability coverage. See Rockford Mut. Ins. Co. v. Econ. Fire & Cas. Co., 217 Ill.App.3d 181, 160 Ill.Dec. 187, 576 N.E.2d 1141, 1144-45 (1991) ().

As noted above, Mr. Brennan did not consider the parties’ Schedule B Agreement regarding the use of Morganti’s WC04 schedule as a baseline for measuring progress and delays, and thus his analysis disregards the parties’ stated intent. In such circumstances, the court’s role is to comb through the evidence and determine whether, based on the record, Morganti was entitled to any time beyond December 31, 1996, for critical path delays caused by Mod 192.

Thus, it is often appropriate for federal courts to abstain from deciding land use issues. Addiction Specialists, 411 F.3d at 409. Land-use policy is an area where “the tenets of federalism are particularly strong”'—so strong, in fact, that the Third Circuit had to specifically point out that federal courts should not automatically abstain in cases involving land use regulation. Izzo v. Borough of River Edge, 843 F.2d 765, 769 (3d Cir.1988). As Justice Alito said when sitting on the Third Circuit, “[l]and-use decisions are matters of local concern” and a federal court should not act as a “zoning board of appeals.” United Artists Theatre Circuit, Inc. v. Township of Warrington, 316 F.3d 392, 402 (3d. Cir.2003) ().

Plaintiff is correct that subsection (d)(2) of section 476 authorizes Indian tribes to bring lawsuits “to enforce the provisions” of the IRA in federal court; however, this language alone does not a sovereign immunity waiver make. Indeed, as this Court reads subsection (d)(2), Congress is speaking to the power of a federal court to consider cases of this nature (actions to enforce the provisions of the IRA), and does not mention who may properly be named as a defendant in any such suit, much less expressly permit such enforcement actions to proceed against the United States. Consequently, subsection (d)(2) is, at most, ambiguous as far as the defense of sovereign immunity is concerned, and that section therefore fails to qualif ’n, 89 F.3d 897, 901 (D.C.Cir.1996) ().

And, the state supreme court unanimously upheld against a vagueness challenge a City of Madison ordinance prohibiting the making of “any noise tending to unreasonably disturb the peace and quiet of persons in the vicinity thereof.” Baumann, 162 Wis.2d at 665, 470 N.W.2d 296. The court stated that the reasonable-person standard was “one that has been relied f Charlotte, 706 F.2d 486, 489 (4th Cir.1983) (same); People v.

Most other jurisdictions agree that a proceeding on a writ of error coram nobis remains a civil matter independent of the underlying case even though its resolution may affect the underlying case. See generally Ex parte Wilson, 275 Ala. 439, 440, 155 So.2d 611, 612 (1963) (“Coram nobis proceedings are essentially civil in nature____”); State ex rel. Cutsinger v.

In Denton, the Court reviewed a dismissal of an inmate’s suit brought under title 28, section 1915 of the United States Code, the federal in forma pauperis statute. 504 U.S. at 27, 112 S.Ct. 1728. The Court held that a dismissal under this statute is not a dismissal on the merits; rather, it is merely an exercise of the trial court’s discretion under the statute. See id. at 34, 112 S.Ct. 1728. Thus, when reviewing whether the district court abused its discretion in dismissing the inmate’s suit, the appellate court should consider whether the suit was dismissed with prejudice and if it was, determine whether the inmate’s error could be remedied. See id. If the error could be remedied, then a dismissal with prejudice is improper. Compare Denton, 504 U.S. at 27, 112 S.Ct. 1728 (), with Hicks v.

Pursuant to section 1-23-390 of the South Carolina Code, “An aggrieved party may obtain a review of a final judgment of the circuit court or the court of appeals pursuant to this article by taking an appeal in the manner provided by the South Carolina Appellate Court Rules as in other civil cases.” S.C.Code Ann. § 1-23-390 (Supp.2006) (emphasis added). Thus, our courts, “have consistently held that an order of the circuit court remanding a case for additional proceedings before an administrative agency is not directly appealable.” Montjoy v. Asten-Hill Dryer Fabrics, 316 S.C. 52, 52, 446 S.E.2d 618, 618 (1994). See also Davis v. La-Z-Boy Chair Co., 287 S.C. 121, 122, 337 S.E.2d 238, 239 (Ct.App.1985) (); Owens v.

For example, in Dietz v. St. Edward’s Catholic Church (In re Bargfrede), 117 F.3d 1078, 1079 (8th Cir.1997), a husband used his assets to help pay his wife’s judgment debt to her church for embezzlement. The Eighth Circuit held that the husband’s claimed receipt of “benefits in the form of a release of a possible burden on the marital relationship and the preservation of the family relationship” were “indirect, non-economic benefits” to the husband that “do not constitute reasonably equivalent value.” Id. at 1080 (citations omitted). The court cited with approval cases holding that “moral obligations,” “love and affection,” and “spiritual fulfillment” are not reasonably equivalent value. Id. See also Walker v. Treadwell (In re Treadwell), 699 F.2d 1050, 1051 (11th Cir.1983) (); Zubrod v.

See Alaska R. Civ. P. 14(c) (providing that “[j]udgment may be entered against a third-party defendant in favor of the plaintiff in accordance with the third-party defendant’s respective percentage of fault”). C. Analysis of the State’s Arguments. The State first argues that section 09.17.080 (1996) creates no legal duty between a defendant/third-party plaintiff and a third-party defendant. The State then reasons that the claim by the United States for equitable apportionment is, in essence, nothing more than a claim asserted on behalf of a private-citizen plaintiff, who is barred from asserting a claim directly. (2d Cir.1988) (same); Parks v. United States, 784 F.2d 20, 23-25 (1st Cir.1986) ().

As such, Specialties argues, the IACA should be subjected to strict scrutiny, a test it cannot survive. But the Supreme Court has established that statutes providing for special treatment of Indians will not be disturbed “[a]s long as the special treatment can be tied rationally to the fulfillment of Congress’ unique obligation toward the Indians.” Morton v. Mancari, 417 U.S. 535, 555, 94 S.Ct. 2474, 41 L.Ed.2d 290 (1974); see also United States v. Antelope, 430 U.S. 641, 645 & n. 6, 97 S.Ct. 1395, 51 L.Ed.2d 701 (1977) ().

Id. at 773, 774. In homicide cases, “if there is no defense which brings into issue the state of mind of the deceased, evidence of fears or other emotions is ordinarily not relevant. But where a defense such as that of accident or self-defense is interposed ..., courts have generally allowed the admission of evidence of the victim’s fears, as probative of the question whether that person would have been likely to do the acts claimed by the defendant.” State v. Parr, 93 Wash.2d 95, 606 P.2d 263, 267 (1980). See also People v. Atchley, 53 Cal.2d 160, 346 P.2d 764 (1959), cert. dismissed 366 U.S. 207, 81 S.Ct. 1051, 6 L.Ed.2d 233 (1961) (); People v.

He and his guest were arrested as a result of the search, were jointly tried, and were parties to the appeal. After concluding that the trial court erred in failing to suppress the evidence seized as a result of the illegal search, the Supreme Court of the United States held that such failure was prejudicial to both McDonald and his guest, noting that if the evidence had been properly suppressed, it would have been unavailable for the State to use against either defendant at trial. Thus, the Court reversed both defendants’ convictions.). 15 See generally McBee v. State, 296 Ga.

It is not a stretch to imagine that such a person could have needed medical assistance or could have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol or suffering from a mental illness. The officers located Cady, who matched the description in the reports, approached him, inquired into his identity and well-being, and let him leave without hindering his departure in any way. Although a 20-minute encounter strikes us as lengthy for such an inquiry, the duration of the encounter is reasonable in light of the fact that Cady engaged the officers in a discussion about religion and his rights. See United States v. Sharpe, 470 U.S. 675, 687-88, 105 S.Ct. 1568, 84 L.Ed.2d 605 (1985) (); United States v.

Plaintiffs’ conversion claim with respect to the business documents, including the client list, fails as a matter of law. While Belliard did assume or exercise control over Pure Power’s client list to the extent that he accessed the client list from a Pure Power computer and downloaded it onto a thumb drive, Belliard possessed only a copy of the client list and did not, in any way, limit or otherwise deprive Pure Power of possession or use of that list.

Even if Witter could prove that his creditors “pressured” him into entering the agreement with Dornier in order to obtain favorable financial treatment, these actions would not, as a matter of law, constitute legal duress. There is no allegation by Witter that his creditors’ actions were unjust or unfounded in any way. Further, the emotional strain Witter may have experienced from his divorce is also insufficient to establish legal duress. See Adams v. Adams, 503 So.2d 1052, 1057 (La.App.2d Cir.1987) ().

The danger of unfair prejudice is fairly low because, except perhaps for the [excluded] Gopaul hostage taking, the other crimes evidence “adds no emotional or other pejorative emphasis not already introduced by the evidence” of the charged offense.

See Texas Eastern Trans. Corp. v. Department of Treasury, Div. of Taxation, 11 N.J.Tax 198 (Tax 1990). Special purpose property has unique physical design, special construction materials, or layout that restricts its utility to the use for which it was built. Id. at 209 n. 2. In Texas Eastern, the court concluded that regulations of the Division of Taxation, which were meant to clarify the terms “structure,” “material injury,” and “machinery, apparatus or equipment” in Chapter 117, were not reasonably related to special purpose property.

Consequently, like the defendant in Talley, Thornton did not have a legitimate or reasonable expectation of privacy in 2316 Eastview Avenue. Moreover, in the absence of evidence that Thornton was inside the house at 2316 Eastview Avenue with the permission of the person having authority over it, this Court must conclude that he was a trespasser. The Sixth Circuit has held that trespassers do not have a legitimate expectation of privacy in the place on which they are trespassing. United States v.

Performing a lodestar cross-check to confirm the fees’ reasonableness, the court found a “handsome,” yet “fairly common” lodestar multiplier of 4.07 based upon 12,906 hours billed since the fee application in Rite Aid I at an hourly rate of $605.

We cannot conclude that the state’s decision was contrary to, or an unreasonable application of, clearly established Supreme Court precedent because there is no precedent that is clearly applicable to these facts. The Supreme Court has held that any admission at trial of post-Miranda silence is a violation of a defendant’s due process rights. Doyle v. Ohio, 426 U.S. 610, 619, 96 S.Ct. 2240, 49 L.Ed.2d 91 (1976). However, the Court allows the admission of a defendant’s pre-Miranda silence for impeachment purposes when a defendant testifies at trial. Fletcher v.

See id. at 282. We therefore conclude that the filing of the indictment approximately two-and-a-half years after Acevedo’s discovery was timely. For this reason, trial counsel’s alleged failure to raise or investigate further a statute of limitations defense could not have prejudiced Acevedo, and, therefore, his ineffective assistance claims on this ground fail. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984) ().

This testimony raises the question whether the Scouts were in fact like any business invitee (user) to whom the school district owed a duty of reasonable care to avoid a risk of harm. See SCRA 1986, 13-1309 (Repl.Pamp.1991) (owner of a building owes business visitor the duty to use ordinary care to keep the premises safe); Klopp v. Wackenhut Corp., 113 N.M. 153, 157, 824 P.2d 293, 297 (1992) (“in a place of public accommodation, an occupier of the premises owes a duty to safeguard each business visitor whom the occupier reasonably may foresee could be injured by a danger avoidable through reasonable precautions available to the occupier of the premises”); Castillo v.

It is in light of this historic and statutory backdrop that we must consider the nature of our review of the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands’ decisions. At the outset, we identify three possible standards of review that we might apply to a decision of the Virgin Islands Supreme Court. First, we might define our role as that of a “super-Supreme Court,” with powers of review equivalent to that of a state Supreme Court reviewing the decision of an intermediary state appellate court. Second, our role might be framed as equivalent to that of the United States Supreme Court when it reviews decisions of a state Supreme Court. See, e.g., Oregon v. Guzek, 546 U.S. 517, 521, 126 S.Ct. 1226, 163 L.Ed.2d 1112 (2006) (); Richfield Oil Corp. v.

Thus, once an attorney forms a reasonable opinion after conducting appropriate research, the mere fact that the attorney’s view of the law was wrong cannot support a finding' of a rule 11 violation. Sutliff, 846 P.2d at 1236 (citations omitted). Similarly, section 13 — 7—4(d) does not impose a duty on civil rights plaintiffs or their attorneys to perform perfect or exhaustive research or to reach the correct legal conclusion. It is enough that their efforts and reading of the law are reasonable. 12 . Our conclusion is consistent with the federal civil rights standard and those of several of our sibling states. See Christiansburg Garment Co. v. E.E.O.C., 434 U.S. 412, 421-22, 98 S.Ct. 694, 700-01, 54 L.Ed.2d 648 (1978) (); see also Sees v.

Cosio, a native and citizen of Mexico, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ (“BIA”) order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s removal order. We have jurisdiction pursuant to 8 U.S.C. § 1252. See Fernandez-Ruiz v. Gonzales, 468 F.3d 1159, 1163 (9th Cir.2006). We review de novo, Molinar-Estrada v.

The prosecutor who makes such appeals ignores the primary purpose and chief business of his client: to establish justice. Every prosecutor who makes a racial reference or comment, however, is not necessarily distorting the search for truth. Id. at 25. “An unembellished reference to evidence of race simply as a factor bolstering an eyewitness identification of a culprit, for example, poses no threat to purity of the trial.

The facts alleged in Ms. Goren's complaint are different from those we evaluated in MCM Partners, Inc. v. Andrews-Bartlett & Assocs., Inc., 62 F.3d 967, 977-79 (7th Cir.1995). In that case, the plaintiff alleged an ""association-in-fact"" enterprise consisting of several defendants and pursued RICO claims against ""lower rung"" members of the enterprise despite the fact that they had merely implemented the decisions of other members of the enterprise. The district court dismissed the claims against those defendants because, in its view, they did not play any role in the direction of the enterprise. We reversed and held that the defendants could be held liable because they had knowingly implemented the decisions of upper management and thereby part (); University of Md. at Baltimore v. Peat, ### Response: holding that defendant who was associated with the enterprise and engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity when he repeatedly violated the antifraud provisions of the securities laws was not liable under 1962c because he had no part in directing the enterprises affairs " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 1997) (unpublished disposition). The Court does not find those factual findings to be clearly erroneous. Therefore, the Court concludes that even if the letter had created a binding contract, Telelect was free to withdraw from the agreement given Baker’s inadequate performance. The Bankruptcy Court also considered whether the statements of policy published by Telelect and sent to Baker created a valid and binding contract under Virginia law. The trial court held that Telelect’s decision to send a copy of its statement of policy to Baker could imply a promise to abide by the terms of the statement as consideration for the distributor’s services. See In re JGB Industries, Adv. Proc. No. 96-3046 at 12-13 (citing Thompson v. American Motor Inns, Inc., 623 F.Supp. 409, 416-17 (W.D.Va.1985) (); Michael v.

City of Fort Lauderdale, 711 F.Supp. 1084, 1086 (S.D.Fla.1989), which held that $.25 per page was reasonable. Id. In view of the advances in technology, however, a review of more recent cases in the Eleventh Circuit indicate that a rate of $.10 to $.14 per copy is more reasonable. Ferguson v. Bombardier Serv.

Marzo contends that his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to realize, when advising him to admit to at least four instances of off-market trades, that Marzo could properly be found guilty on that conduct alone, without proof that he accepted cash kickbacks. We are not entirely convinced that Marzo’s counsel’s advice to admit to some off-market trades was unreasonable, rather than a reasonable strategic choice. See, e.g., Bell v.

Here, the temporal gap of almost one year is insufficient, alone, to create an inference of causation. And the-additional evidence that Stephen points to relates to actions and e-mails from December 2013, approximately ten months before Stephen’s discharge. Further, Stephen’s intervening act of unconsented touching and stating that he would “pop a cap” in another co-worker, thereby violating the zero tolerance policy against workplace violence is sufficient to break the causal chain. Henderson v. FedEx Express, 442 Fed.Appx. 502, 506 (11th Cir. 2011) ().

There is no doubt that, once a threshold decision to depart has been made, a defendant is only allowed to challenge the reasonableness of a sentence in cases of upward departures under § 3742(a)(3). See United States v. Wright, 895 F.2d 718, 721 (11th Cir.1990) (observing that to allow review of reasonableness under subsection (a)(2) would nullify (a)(3)); United States v.

Because some could argue that evidence that makes the existence of a fact “highly probable” is not necessarily the same as evidence that produces a firm conviction in the existence of the fact, we reject the “highly probable” formulation. Cf In re L.R.M., 763 S.W.2d 64, 66 (Tex. App.-Fort Worth, 1989, no writ)(stating that “highly probable” inquiry needlessly complicates the standard of review). VII We emphasize that, as appellate courts apply the standard we announce today, they must maintain the respective constitutional roles of juries and appellate courts. An appellate court’s review must not be so rigorous that the only factfind-ings that could withstand review are those established beyond a reasonable doubt.

The Archdiocese offered weekly Mass, and held deanery meetings in the church rectory. Additionally, religious artifacts and furnishings were stored for safekeeping. The East Orange Board of Education rented space for classes on what is now Lot 2, and eventually acquired the lot following a subdivision in December 1994.

Indeed, there is no provision in the contracts that purports to prevent the City from conveying the property to the Lessees and later taking the property for public use. Thus, these contracts contain none of the same elements the Court found unenforceable in West River Bridge and Contributors to Pennsylvania Hospital. 6 . Indeed, as a survey of our Contracts Clause jurisprudence indicates, Ordinance 05-001 is quite analogous to the state actions this court and the Supreme Court have assessed under U.S. Trust. See U.S. Trust, 431 U.S. at 22-23, 97 S.Ct. at 1518 (); Winstar, 518 U.S. at 888-89, 116 S.Ct. 2432 ### Response: holding that concurrent and parallel new york and new jersey statutes that retroactively repealed a covenant between the states and bondholders in the stateowned port authority was subject to contracts clause analysis " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: U.S. 471, 489, 92 S.Ct. 2593, 33 L.Ed.2d 484 (1972) (listing required processes). See R. at 1052. But he changes course in his opening appeal brief, asserting instead that the processes applied in civil-commitment proceedings are required before defendants can terminate him from the SOTMP. He did not make that argument in the district court and consequently the district court did not address it. Therefore, he has failed to preserve this argument for consideration on appeal. See Simmat v. U.S. Bur. of Prisons, 413 F.3d 1225, 1240 (10th Cir.2005) (declining to consider pro se argument raised for the first time on appeal). Nor will we address the argument that Mr. Firth made in the district court, but fails to renew on appeal. See Bronson v. Swensen, 500 F.3d 1099, 1104 (10th Cir.2007) ().

Thus, a refusal to submit to such tests enjoyed ""no prophylactic Miranda protection outside the basic Fifth Amendment protection.” South Dakota v. Neville (1983), 459 U.S. 553, 564 n.15, 74 L. Ed. 2d 748, 759 n.15, 103 S. Ct. 916, 923 n.15. Subsequently, this reasoning was adopted in Illinois cases which held that a defendant’s refusal to submit to a blood-alcohol test is admissible even in the absence of Miranda warnings. (People v. Thomas (1990), 199 Ill. App. 3d 79, 556 N.E.2d 1245; People v. Bugbee (1990), 201 Ill. App. 3d 952, 559 N.E.2d 554; People v. Thomas (1990), 200 Ill. App. 3d 268, 558 N.E.2d 656; see also People v.

Appellants objected to the submission of special issues on the use of a deadly weapon at any stage of the trial, but they particularly argued that if such special issues were to be submitted they should be submitted during the punishment stage of trial. Appellants argued at trial, as they do on appeal, that the deadly weapon issue is clearly an issue to be decided during punishment and that it would be inappropriate to submit such an issue during the guilt-innocence stage of trial. However, this argument is inaccurate. See Luken v. State, 780 S.W.2d 264, 268 (Tex.Crim.App.1989) (acknowledging that Court of Criminal Appeals has never said deadly weapon issue must be resolved at punishment stage of trial); McIntosh v.

Finally, the BIA and IJ erred by relying on Kumar’s failure to present evidence to corroborate his attendance at Sikh religious facilities. The IJ did not give Ku-mar a reasonable opportunity to explain the absence of corroborating evidence. For example, when the IJ asked Kumar why he had not produced a witness to confirm that he attended Sikh facilities in San Jose and Fremont, Kumar responded “I haven’t brought it, but I can bring it.” Thereafter, the IJ never asked Kumar to make good on that offer yet then relied on the absence of any such witness to find that Kumar lacked credibility. That was unfair. See Joseph v. Holder, 600 F.3d 1235, 1246 n. 9 (9th Cir.2010) ().

This fact, though, cuts directly against agency, since it indicates that Hawkspere and ICTS lacked any formal relationship at all.

It is not unreasonable to expect that the state’s policy judgment will be set forth with sufficient clarity to permit the bankruptcy court administering the estate to identify the state exemptions with reasonable certainty.

Vukowich, Debtors’ Exemption Rights, 62 Geo.L.J. 779, 816 (1974). Therefore, it is appropriate, in our view, to give the word its common meaning in the absence of any legislative indication to the contrary. See, e.g., Scarlett v.

Numerous courts in other jurisdictions have recognized the doctrine of judicial estoppel. See, e.g., Talavera v.

The trial court ultimately seated an alternate juror for the capital sentencing proceeding. Defendant contends that the post-verdict removal of juror eleven for juror misconduct committed during the guilt-innocence phase deliberations violated his right under the North Carolina Constitution to trial by a jury composed of twelve qualified jurors. We agree. Article I, Section 24 of the North Carolina Constitution, which guarantees the right to trial by jury, contemplates no more or no less than a jury of twelve persons. See State v.

Hudson, 280 N.C. 74, 79, 185 S.E.2d ### Response: holding that an alternates presence in the jury room for a brief period at the beginning of jury deliberations was a violation of this constitutional right " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: file, together with the affidavits, if any, show that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving party is entitled to a judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.Bankr.R. 7056(c); Fed. R.Civ.P. 56(c); Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 247, 106 S.Ct. 2505, 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). The summary judgment procedure is appropriate in an action to review the record of an administrative agency because the reviewing court is generally limited to determining matters of law, i.e. sufficiency of record, statutory authority of agency, etc., and if there is no material issue of fact and only a question of law, summary judgment is appropriate. 6-Pt. 2 Moore’s Federal Practice ¶56.17[3], 56-362 — 56-364 (2d ed. 1993) (citing Milton v. Harris, 616 F.2d 968 (7th Cir.1980) ()). A. The Negotiated Rates Act of 1993 On ### Response: holding that summary judgment is appropriate when no issue of material fact exists and the court is reviewing administrative record for sufficiency of evidence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to be credible and concludes that the deputies came no closer than 120 feet from Building 2 — and thus no closer than 240 feet from the residence — on the night of May 30, 2003. Standing in isolation, the fact that the deputies were approximately 240 feet from Building 1 does not rule out the possibility that the deputies intruded upon the curti-lage. As the Second Circuit has observed, “[o]n a large parcel of land, a pond 300 feet away from a dwelling may be as intimately connected to the residence as is the backyard grill of the bloke next door.” United States v. Reilly, 76 F.3d 1271, 1277, on reh’g, 91 F.3d 331 (2d Cir.1996). Nonetheless, even in rural areas, it is rare for curtilage to extend more than 100 feet beyond the home. See, e.g., Dunn, 480 U.S. at 297, 302, 107 S.Ct. 1134 (); United States v. Van Damme, 48 F.3d 461, 464 ### Response: holding that deputies who approached within 90 feet of a rural residence were not within the boundaries of the curtilage " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: bases for finding Campbell unsuitable for parole in 2006 were properly supported by some evidence, bearing some indicia of reliability. See Biggs v. Terhune, 334 F.3d 910, 915-17 (9th Cir.2003) (setting forth due process requirements and upholding denial of parole based solely on gravity of offense and prior misconduct). Campbell’s contention that due process mandates that substantial evidence, rather than “some evidence,” support the parole suitability determination is foreclosed. See id. at 915. We do not reach Campbell’s contention that in 2006 the parole board applied the wrong suitability standards to his case because we conclude that “some evidence” supports the board’s determination under either standard. Cf. Connor v. Estelle, 981 F.2d 1032, 1034 (9th Cir.1992) (per curiam) (). Campbell’s remaining contentions are ### Response: holding that the application of the determinate sentencing law parolesuitability guidelines to prisoners sentenced under the indeterminate sentencing law does not disadvantage them " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: counsel, respectively, do not warrant termination. See id. Santos’s allegation of a violation of 8 C.F.R. § 236.1(e), regarding the right to communicate with consular officers, likewise does not warrant termination. See United States v. De La Pava, 268 F.3d 157, 165 (2d Cir.2001). Finally, Santos’s argument that the Government violated 8 C.F.R. § 287.6(a)by submitting the Form 1-213 without authentication does not provide a basis for termination because Santos was not prejudiced by the submission. See Waldron v. INS, 17 F.3d 511, 518 (2d Cir.1993). To the extent Santos wishes to argue that the unauthenticated 1-213 should be afforded diminished evidentiary weight, he will have an opportunity to do so on remand. See Xiao Ji Chen v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 471 F.3d 315, 342 (2d Cir.2006) ().

Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 437, 103 S.Ct. 1933, 76 L.Ed.2d 40 (1983)). The Court of Federal Claims (a trial-level Article I court, see 28 U.S.C. § 171) has found inadequate a party’s unsupported statement that he satisfied the EAJA net worth requirement, but in that case there was contradictory evidence in the record about the plaintiffs net worth. Doe v. United States, 54 Fed.Cl. 337, 343 (Fed.Cl.2002). The court undoubtedly saw a red flag when “the underlying cause of action began with the assertion that plaintiff was ‘a prospective buyer’ of a yacht.” Id. See also Fields v. United States, 29 Fed.Cl. 376, 383 (Fed.Cl.1993) (). By contrast, the Federal Circuit (which, of ### Response: holding that a conclusory affidavit without supporting evidence is inadequate to establish net worth " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: one possible exception (30 March 2001 purchase), Financial purchased its shares after Amresco disclosed the plan (in the Y2000 10-K, signed on the day of the first purchase (30 March) and filed on 2 April). Therefore, it cannot claim' it would not have done so had it known about the plan. b. Finally, Plaintiffs fail to adequately plead scienter for any Individual Defendant because the SAC makes only general allegations and conelusory statements, such as stating they knew, or were reckless in failing to disclose, adverse material. See ABC Arbitrage, 291 F.3d at 348. Along this line, Plaintiffs’ mere allegation that the Individual Defendants were motivated by a desire to retain their jobs does not satisfy the scienter requirement. See Melder v. Morris, 27 F.3d 1097, 1102 (5th Cir.1994) ().

Other courts that have considered the issue have concluded that it is justifiable for state unemployment agencies to rely on “weekly certifications to determine an applicant’s eligibility for benefits over specific periods of time.” See Ohio Dept. of Job & Family Servs. v. Yuppa (In re Yuppa), 2013 WL 4854479 (Bankr.S.D.Ohio June 12, 2013) (unpublished opinion) (citing State of Colorado ex rel. Central Collection Serv. v.

See Sawyers v. State, 724 S.W.2d 24 (Tex.Crim.App.1986) (evidence showing the defendant was intoxicated and nothing more does not justify submission of an issue on temporary insanity, and refusal to submit such charge in mitigation of punishment is not error); Ex parte Lilly, 656 S.W.2d 490, 493 (Tex.Crim.App.1983) (counsel’s failure to investigate the facts of a case constitutes ineffectiveness if the result is that any viable defense available to the accused was not advanced). We conclude that, had counsel requested an instruction on temporary insanity as a mitigating factor, it would have been properly denied. See Hart v. State, 537 S.W.2d 21, 24 (Tex.Crim.App.1976) (). Similarly, because applicant knew his ### Response: holding that the evidence at trial showed hart was aware that what he was doing was wrong " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as soon as she returned home. D.J. was crying and upset when Johnson arrived home, which suggests that he was not capable of thoughtful reflection and deliberation. D.J. also had fresh blood on his lower lip that visibly showed that D.J. was in distress from the physical altercation. When D.J. told his mother that Jones had hit him in the mouth with her fist, he was still under the stress of the excitement caused by the startling event. Because D.J. was still under the stress of the event, it is reasonable to infer that he was unlikely to make deliberate falsifications to his mother. As such, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting D.J.'s statements to his mother under the excited utterance exception to the hearsay rule. See e.g., Robinson, 730 N.E.2d 185, 193 (). IL.

See also Ryan, Pennsylvania Zoning Law, §§ 7.1.8 and 7.7.1 (recognizing that most, if not all lawfully pre-existing noncon-formaties receive some protection under Pennsylvania law and that the scope of protection is subject to obvious differences between nonconforming uses and nonconforming structures).

This reasoning applies here. It is uncontested that Plaintiffs are bringing the same claims against Alexander & Alexander in the instant lawsuit as were brought against Alexander & Alexander in the Kansas lawsuit. These claims are based on the same underlying facts. The causes of action are thus identical, even though the instant matter may require the Missouri court before which the suit was brought to apply Missouri law, while the Kansas lawsuit required the application of Kansas law. See Austin v. Super Valu Stores, 31 F.3d 615 (8th Cir.Minn.1994) ().

We can review the declaration that the agreed temporary injunction was void ab initio because of the lack of a bond. The supreme court has construed strictly the requirement of Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 684 that, before a trial court issues a temporary restraining order or temporary injunction, the applicant shall execute and file with the clerk a bond to the adverse party.

Because we conclude that Garrison's sentence improperly was enhanced for abuse of a position of public trust and remand for resentencing without this enhancement, we need not address her double-counting issue. 14 . Given Garrison’s sentencing date of October 26, 1995, we use the applicable United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual (1994) and statutes and regulations in effect on that date. See United States v. Camacho, 40 F.3d 349, 354 (11th Cir.1994) (""The sentencing court must employ the guidelines in effect at the time the sentencing hearing is held.”). 15 . See Stinson v.

Foremost-McKesson, Inc., 751 F.2d 475 (1st Cir.1985). In our view, this is such a case. Applying the factors, we conclude that while some are neutral to our inquiry, the balance of them strongly favors abstention. We begin with the neutral factors, which may be summarized quickly. The federal and Puerto Rico forums are equally convenient (second factor); the Puerto Rico forum is well equipped to protect the parties’ interests (sixth factor), see United States v. Fairway Capital Corp., 483 F.3d 34, 43 (1st Cir.2007) (); there is nothing vexatious or contrived about ### Response: holding that the adequacy of the state forum is relevant only when it would disfavor abstention " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 232 (2005) (recognizing Restatement [Second] of Torts § 314A[3] imposes a duty upon one in possession of land); Gragg v.

Thus, although not in the same context, Kansas has recognized and implemented § 314A of the Restatement (Second) of Torts. Moreover, and in a factual scenario very similar to the one presented here, two cases from the United States District Court for the District of Kansas have specifically applied Restatement (Second) of Torts § 314A(4) to hold that prison officials owed inmates the duty to prevent self-harm.

E. Jurisdictional Bar of Section 9613(h) as Applied to Plaintiffs’ First Amendment Challenge — First Cause of Action The jurisdictional bar of section 9613(h) applies differently when it comes to Plaintiffs’ First Amendment claim. Most courts have flatly concluded that because section 9613(h) bars pre-enforcement judicial review of “any challenges to removal or remedial actions selected,” it also bars pre-enforcement judicial review of constitutional challenges to CERCLA itself.

Horse Creek is a tributary of the Peace River, and Horse Creek supplies approximately fifteen percent of the fresh water to the portion of the Peace River from which the Authority withdraws water. The Authority has a water use permit (WUP) from the Southwest Florida Water Management District that both gives the Authority the right to withdraw water from the Peace River and sets conditions on those withdrawals. Thus, as an entity possessed of a legal right to withdraw water from the Peace River, the Authority inarguably has a substantial interest in the river’s environmental integrity, and this interest could be injured by changes in the flow of Horse Creek into the Peace River.

See, e.g., United States v. Von Barta, 635 F.2d 999, 1005 (2d Cir.1980). In a similar vein, appellants argue that the conduct at issue here was not illegal under New York state law and, therefore, could not form the basis of federal charges. We note that both the trial and appellate courts that were involved in the state court proceedings initially brought against the appellants and others based on the same scheme found that the type of conduct at issue here did violate state law.

In an attempt to elude the sovereign immunity bar, plaintiffs essentially ask this Court to order two legislative leaders, in their official capacities, to appropriate additional funds for the Clean Elections Fund. Case law makes clear that a suit against a state official in his or her official capacity, which is essentially a suit against the state itself, may be barred by the Eleventh Amendment regardless of whether injunctive or monetary relief is sought.

While counsel also sought to impeach Prince’s and Barksdale’s testimony, he did not attempt to attack the testimony given by Bridgett or Rainey. Although the defense brought out conflicting and impeachment evidence via cross-examination, this evidence had little or no bearing on the issue of Russell's intent in the Fast Freddy’s offense. Cf. Siqueiros v. State, 685 S.W.2d 68, 71 (Tex.Crim.App.1985) (recognizing cross-examination of State’s witnesses can raise issue of identity). The State provided probative evidence on the issue of Russell’s intent in the Fast Freddy’s offense through numerous witnesses, and this evidence of intent was not seriously undermined by the defense.

As to the distribution charge, Price and Ellis clearly are not accomplices under settled South Dakota law. “ ‘An accomplice is one who is liable to prosecution for the identical offense charged against the defendant on trial. To render one an accomplice he must in some manner knowingly and with criminal intent participate, associate or concur with another in the commission of a crime.’” State v. Fox, 313 N.W.2d 38, 40 (S.D.1981) (quoting State v. Johnson, 81 S.D. 600, 606, 139 N.W.2d 232, 236 (1965) (emphasis supplied)). Busack was charged with distributing methamphetamine to Price and Ellis. Neither of these witnesses could be charged with distributing to themselves, therefore they were not accomplices to these acts. See State v. Bufener, 401 N.W.2d 740, 743 (S.D.1987) ().

Appellant's Appendix at 183. Based upon our review of the record, we cannot say that the evidence is undisputed and leads inevitably to an opposite conclusion of the post-conviction court.

Jacobson’s deposition testimony as to Molina’s neck and back limitations is based entirely upon Molina’s subjective complaints of pain, which, as stated above, is insufficient. Moreover, that evidence related to Molina’s injury in the days immediately following the accident. Without any objective evidence that these alleged limitations lasted much longer, no reasonable juror could conclude that Molina’s injuries were permanent, significant, or curtailed her customary activities for more than 90 days. See, e.g., Kim v. Kim, 266 A.D.2d 190, 697 N.Y.S.2d 676, 677 (App. Div.2d Dep’t 1999) (); see also Petrone v.

Before accepting a plea, the court must set forth, in language understandable to the juvenile, the “essential elements underlying certain rights.” In re John D., 479 A.2d at 1178. However, the court need not inform a defendant of collateral consequences of an admission for it to be valid. State v. Figueroa, 639 A.2d 495, 499 (R.I.1994) ().

Courts applying the Mt. Healthy doctrine in summary disposition analyses have held that if a plaintiff brings forth evidence of pretext, the determination whether the employer’s stated reasons are pretextual is a fact issue reserved for the jury.

So if section 260.247 in fact regulates a “municipal function,” serving in effect as a default regulation for political subdivisions which do not have home rule, the County is constitutionally free to exercise legislative power over that function; but if section 260.247 is “within the province of general legislation involving the public policy of the state as a whole,” then the County is bound by it regardless of its charter status.

Because, “[e]xcessive delay presumptively compromises the reliability of trial in ways neither party can prove or, for that matter, identify,” Francis, 63 V.I. at 754, the Court finds that the 1,056 day (approximately 35 months) delay in this case is presumptively prejudicial.

The USDA notes as much, seemingly to refute the idea that any fees are warranted under 11 U.S.C. § 362(k) because the automatic stay was no longer in effect by the time Debtor’s counsel contacted the USDA. We find, however, that this is a distinction without a difference as attorney’s fees would otherwise have been available as compensatory damages under 11 U.S.C. § 105(a) for the USDA’s violation of the discharge injunction and would be analyzed under the same standard.

Thus, in accordance with § 34-36.1-2.10(c)(4), title to unexercised declarant rights passed to the unit owners’ association as a matter of law.

In Delaney, the district court had to determine whether the Town of Carmel could be held strictly liable as an owner under CERCLA because it entered into leases with private landowners to allow septic waste haulers to dispose of such waste on the landowners’ property. In answering this question in the negative, the court concluded that plaintiffs did not present “sufficient allegations of ‘site control’ to render the leaseholder Carmel a CERCLA ‘owner.’ ” Delaney, 55 F.Supp.2d at 259; but see Commander Oil, 215 F.3d at 329 ().

The district court properly granted summary judgment on Murphy’s due process claim because discovery of the weapon in Murphy’s cell was “some evidence” to support the disciplinary actions.

The Court recognizes that defendant, with some justification, is frustrated by plaintiffs careful limitation of her claim to the jurisdictional limit, as amended and as it previously existed. Defendant’s removal is based solely on plaintiffs settlement demand of $75,000.00. This is insufficient to establish the jurisdictional amount for two reasons. First, the mere existence of a settlement demand is not dispositive of the issue of the jurisdictional amount. See, e.g., King v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., 940 F.Supp. 213, 217 n. 1 (S.D.Ind.1996); Saunders v. Rider, 805 F.Supp. 17, 18-19 (E.D.La.1992). Second, for diversity jurisdiction to attach, the amount in controversy must exceed the value of $75,000.00. 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a); see Larkin v. Brown, 41 F.3d 387, 389 (8th Cir.1994) ().

The State argued that this fact made the article and photo in the September 18 paper irrelevant. In response, Mr. Schaefer pointed out that the victim could have seen the photo on either September 16 or 17. However, when Mr. Schaefer could produce nothing to show that Plott’s photo was in any paper other than the September 18 edition, the trial court denied the motion to suppress without hearing any evidence. In his rule 3.850 motion, Plott argued that Mr. Schae-fer was ineffective for failing to obtain all of the newspaper articles and for failing to bring them to the hearing. In summarily denying relief on this ground, the trial court held that this issue was procedurally barred because it was raised on direct appeal. See Harvey v. Dugger, 656 So.2d 1253, 1256 (Fla.1995) ().

Initially, we note that KG.S. argues that KR.’s challenge of Druhan as the temporary probate judge is untimely. K.G.S. is correct; K.R. did not file her original mandamus petition with the Court of Civil Appeals until 17 days after Dru-han’s August 3, 2015, order denying K.R.’s supplemental motion requesting that Dru-han recuse himself. This is beyond the presumptively reasonable 14-day time in which to file a mandamus petition in an adoption proceeding. See Rule 21(a)(3) and § 26-10A~26(a). Regardless, we may consider K.R.’s argument because it concerns the probate court’s jurisdiction. See Bush v. State, 171 So.3d 679 (Ala.Crim.App.2014) ().

Id. at 750-51, 121 S.Ct. 1808; Eastman v. Union Pacific R.R. Co., 493 F.3d 1151, 1156 (10th Cir.2007). Accordingly, courts consistently hold that a debtor who conceals a legal claim and denies owning the asset in bankruptcy is judicially estopped from later pursuing that claim to the debtor’s personal benefit. See, e.g., Cannon-Stokes, 453 F.3d at 448; Jethroe v. Omnova Solutions, Inc., 412 F.3d 598 (5th Cir.2005); Barger v. City of Cartersville, 348 F.3d 1289, 1296 (11th Cir.2003). But here it is undisputed that Matthews did not conceal her administrative complaints during the bankruptcy proceedings. See Eubanks v. CBSK Fin. Group, Inc., 385 F.3d 894, 898 & n. 1 (6th Cir.2004) (); see also InterGen N.V. v. Grina, 344 F.3d ### Response: holding that judicial estoppel was inapplicable where debtor omitted potential claim against defendant from chapter 7 schedules but orally disclosed it to the trustee during the meeting of creditors " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Fuentes, 271 Ill. App. 3d 1071, 649 N.E.2d 519 (1995), which interpreted section 2 — 1202(c), defendants contend that the circuit court here lost its jurisdiction even though no Supreme Court Rule 304(a) (155 Ill. 2d R. 304(a)) finding was made as to the directed verdict’s immediate appealability. Doe, relying on Rule 304(a), argues that defendants’ argument is flawed conceptually in that it fails to recognize that a posttrial motion is not a prerequisite for a trial court to retain jurisdiction to vacate or modify a directed verdict where other claims in the matter remain pending and undetermined. Doe further argues that a posttrial motion is not ever required after a directed verdict. In support of this position, Doe relies on Keen v. Davis, 38 Ill. 2d 280, 282, 230 N.E.2d 859 (1967) (), and Fitzpatrick v. ACF Properties Group, ### Response: holding that a posttrial motion is not required after a grant of a directed verdict " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that “[njothing in ... the Kansas tort claims act shall be construed as a waiver by the state of Kansas of immunity from suit under the [Eleventh] Amendment”); id. § 39-7,137 (stating same with respect to certain administrative proceedings for Kansas social welfare program). Accordingly, we hold that Kan. Stat. Ann. § 76-723 conferred upon KSU the power to waive Eleventh Amendment immunity. III. In conclusion, we AFFIRM the decision of the district court for the foregoing reasons. 1 . Because neither the bankruptcy court nor the district court relied on § 106(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, we do not address in this case whether it is constitutional. See, e.g., Sacred Heart Hosp. of Norristown v. Pennsylvania (In re Sacred Heart Hosp. of Norristown), 133 F.3d 237, 243-45 (3d Cir.1998) (); Department of Transp. & Dev. v.

The BIA also properly held that Zhang’s conversion to Christianity was a change in his personal circumstances, not a change in country conditions that would support reopening. Liu v. Att’y Gen., 555 F.3d 145, 150-51 (3d Cir.2009). We have recognized, however, that an alien who has been ordered removed can file an untimely or successive asylum application based on changed personal conditions if the alien can also show changed country conditions in the motion to reopen. Id. at 150. Thus, Zhang would be eligible to file a second asylum application in reopened proceedings based on his Christian faith, if he is able to establish relevant changed country conditions since the time of his initial asylum proceedings. Filja v. Gonzales, 447 F.3d 241, 251, 252 (3d Cir.2006) ().

The uncontradicted evidence that the officers were not in their usual patrol area and were unfamiliar with the home in question negates any thought that they used the situation which arose on May 13, 1999 as an excuse or ruse to gain entry to a known “drug house”. We are also struck by the great restraint that the police showed before they finally felt that they must enter the home. Even when they believed that a burglary was in progress they did not enter until they looked through the open window and saw the broken door latch and ransacked room. This, coupled with the open window, flight of four males from the home when the police approached, admission of two males that they were fleeing from the p th Cir.1982) (), affirmed in relevant part, 710 F.2d 431 ### Response: holding that exigent circumstances justified warrantless entry where it seemed apparent that a burglary was in progress " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: advertising restrictions related to product safety, the issue is not whether the restrictions were procompetitive, but whether they could be. Id. at 778, 119 S.Ct. 1604 (“[T]he plausibility of competing claims about the effects of the professional advertising restrictions rules out the indulgently abbreviated review to which the Commission’s order was treated.”). See also Areeda & Hovenkamp at ¶ 1911b (stating that courts must consider the plausibility of procompetitive effects when determining which mode of analysis to apply). Because the alleged restraints were arguably based, at least in part, on safety concerns, they may have had some procompetitive effects. It follows that an abbreviated per se analysis was inappropriate. See California Dental, 526 U.S. at 770-781, 119 S.Ct. 1604 (). C.

Where, however, a trial court’s purported exercise of discretion flows from a mistaken legal premise, its decision does not fall within the range of legally correct choices and does not produce a permissible, legally correct outcome.

We therefore remand to the agency for it to consider the entire record in evaluating Ms. Seek’s petition. We do not reach the question of whether Ms. Seek, as a mother who opposes the practice of FGM on her daughter, falls within a “particular social group” for purposes of withholding of removal. See 8 U.S.C. § 1231(b)(3)(A). This question was not reached by the BIA, and it is most appropriately considered by the agency in the first instance. See Gonzales v.

I, § 2, Bessemer City Ordinances, and advisory opinions written by the Ethics Commission and the Office of the Alabama Attorney General. Considering these materials in making a determination as to whether the City councillors are entitled to qualified immunity necessarily would require converting the motion to dismiss into a motion for a summary judgment because ""[i]f the trial court considers matters outside the pleadings, then the motion should be treated as a motion for summary judgment.” Stock-man v. Echlin, Inc., 604 So.2d 393, 394 (Ala. 1992). It is apparent from the language of the trial court's orders that it did not consider outside materials in reaching its decision. 6 . Cf. Chavers v.

See Vt. Stat. Ann. tit. 23, § 304(b)(2)(C) (“[T]he primary purpose of motor vehicle plates is vehicle identification.”). Although a policy of vehicle identification is not necessarily inconsistent with a government’s intention to designate a public forum, the statement of such a legislative policy does not suggest, much less show, an intention to create a public forum. Second, as noted by counsel for the state at oral argument, Vermont’s vanity plates serve the purpose of raising revenue. Nothing about the revenue-raising aim of the vanity-plate regime suggests that Vermont intended to “create a forum for unlimited public expression.” DiLoreto v. Downey Unified Sch. Dist. Bd. of Educ., 196 F.3d 958, 966 (9th Cir.1999) (); see New York Magazine v.

Va.Code § 61-2-9a (prohibiting “harassment”). Therefore, in light of the plaintiffs need to solicit donations to cover living expenses and medical bills, I FIND that the balance of equities tips in favor of issuing a preliminary injunction. E.Public Interest Although the defendants admit that preservation of First Amendment freedoms is a significant public interest, they argue that the public will be harmed by prohibiting enforcement of an “important public safety mechanism.” (Defs.’ Mem. [Docket 18], at 16-17). However, as I previously explained, the defendants can ensure safety near intersections by enforcing other statutes. Further, the public interest generally favors protecting First Amendment rights. See, e.g., Carey v. FEC, 791 F.Supp.2d 121, 135-36 (D.D.C. 2011) (); Mullin v. Sussex Cnty., Del., 861 F.Supp.2d ### Response: holding that the plaintiffs right to political speech is fully in accord with the publics interest in free speech and association " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: for aliens entitled to protection but subject to mandatory denial of withholding. See Hosseini v. Gonzales, 471 F.3d 953, 958-61 (9th Cir.2006). The IJ denied Aguilar’s application for deferral of removal under CAT, and the BIA affirmed. Because neither the BIA nor the IJ made an adverse credibility finding, “we must assume that [Aguilar’s] factual contentions are true.” Navas v. INS, 217 F.3d 646, 652 on El Salvador was included in the record without objection and that Aguilar attached it to his pro se brief to the BIA. Yet, neither the IJ nor the BIA considered the Country Report in denying Aguilar relief under CAT. The failure of the IJ and BIA to consider evidence of country conditions constitutes reversible error. See, e.g., Kamalthas v. INS, 251 F.3d 1279, 1284 (9th Cir.2001) (); Al-Saher v.

The court notes that, in boilerplate fashion, FS’s complaint alleges that AOS ""accepted the benefit of [FS's] assistance under such circumstances that it would be inequitable for the defendant to retain the benefit without payment.” (Compl. ¶ 34). Such wholly conclusory allegations, without anything more, run afoul of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which require that a pleading contain ""a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2); see also Ashcroft v.

While the instant case does not involve a service contract, the Court would follow the same analysis here in order to determine whether an independent tort exists, and thus whether the economic loss rule applies. 2 .

Based on the Court’s conclusion on this issue, no further analysis is necessary with regard to whether the contracts between the parties constitute commercial transactions, or whether there was great disparity in bargaining power.

In imposing $20,000 in sanctions against Christensen, her deceased husband’s law firm and her attorneys, the trial court found Christensen’s claims to be frivolous and in bad faith because they were contrary to her stipulation in the attorney’s lien action and violated the public policy of the state.

We find this argument unpersuasive. IBR’s broad definition of “officer of the United States” may well be favored today. Cf. Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.

But there is no evidence that this was the definition Congress had in mind in 1948, when it enacted § 1442(a)(1) and the companion provision defining “agency.” Indeed, in 1948 and for some time thereafter, the relationship between certain independent agencies and the “Government of the United States” was often disputed.

While Defendants assert that the contract provided no benefit to the county, from which one could infer that its termination could inflict no injury on the county, Mr. Umbehr has alleged a benefit to him from the contract. The contract obviated the need for him to individually negotiate a trash hauling contract with each city; it gave him the exclusive right to haul trash for cities that ratified the agreement; and it gave him, for at least sixty days, the right to haul trash for cities pursuant to the agreement, inasmuch as the county could only terminate the contract on sixty days’ notice.

After carefully reviewing the parties’ briefs, the record, and relevant Oklahoma authorities, we believe that no reasonable jury could have concluded that State Farm’s evaluation and settlement offers constituted bad faith under this standard. First, we note that State Farm’s initial settlement offer was within the range it assigned to Mr. Roberts’ claim. Thus, we are not presented with the situation where an insurer has offered to settle a dispute in an amount below the range assigned to the claim by the insurer’s own investigation. See Newport v. USAA, 11 P.3d 190, 196-197 (Okla.2000) ().

Notwithstanding this explicit admonition, the Knights thereafter served the Notices and then filed the unlawful detainer complaint seeking to recover possession of the Property. The reason given by the Knights’ counsel for his chosen course of action— bankruptcy court is slow — does not help them escape the conclusion that their actions were willful. Although the Knights may not have had the specific intent to violate the automatic stay, the Knights knew of the automatic stay and their actions were intentional, thus satisfying the definition of a “willful” violation of the automatic stay. See Bloom, 875 F.2d at 227 (). The district court was correct in reversing ### Response: holding knowledge of the bankruptcy petition and action taken thereafter was sufficient to find a willful violation of the stay " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: liability under New Jersey’s local law for conduct that would not be illegal under New York’s law. The New York Legislature made its enactment narrower than federal RICO, instead of broader as did our Legislature. See Ball, supra, 268 N.J.Super. at 107, 632 A.2d 1222. New York also precluded private litigants from pursuing cases that prosecutors with limited resources might decline, as opposed to New Jersey’s decision to encourage private litigants with the prospect of treble damages and counsel fee awards.

Plaintiff moved for emergency injunctive relief on September 2 (ECF No. 24), which the court denied (ECF No. 25). Shortly thereafter, Defendants moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim.

Under the majority’s interpretation of the statute any federal district court, circuit court of appeals or appropriate state court may authorize a wiretap any place in the country. A judge in the Southern District of New York may now authorize a tap on a phone in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, Nome, Alaska or Prescott, Arizona, even if no calls are ever placed to the east coast, as long as the listening post is set up in Manhattan.

Most circuits that have considered the issue, however, including this circuit, have held that nonexhaustion is an affirmative defense, and that therefore defendants bear the burden of proof and prisoner plaintiffs need not plead exhaustion with particularity. E.g., Jenkins v. Haubert, 179 F.3d at 28-29; Wyatt v. Terhune, 315 F.3d 1108, 1117-18 (9th Cir.2003) (); Casanova v.

It stated that although “as a general rule, courts are required to strictly enforce statutory exhaustion requirements[,]” there are “some limited circumstances in which an exception to the general rule might apply.” 358 F.3d at 172-73. We invoke the narrow leeway afforded by Theodoropoulos II and hold that in light of the unusual facts of Pichardo’s case, an exception is necessary to prevent manifest injustice. Courts have historically interpreted procedural rules to prevent a fundamental miscarriage of justice. See, e.g., Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 750, 111 S.Ct. 2546, 115 L.Ed.2d 640 (1991) (); McCleskey v.

Ill ¶56 Third, again, the independent duty doctrine is not a rule at all; rather it is an analytical tool used by courts to decide whether there is an independent duty cognizable in tort in the first instance. Whether or not we recognize a tort often involves policy considerations. See, e.g., Thompson v. St. Regis Paper Co., 102 Wn.2d 219, 232, 685 P.2d 1081 (1984) (); MacPherson v.

We agree with Telectronics that these slight variations in language make a difference in the impact of the law. However, we agree with Plaintiffs that these types of variations can be managed with proper jury instructions. Other variations pointed out by Telectronics are either insignificant or irrelevant to the issues presented in this case. For example, Telectronics asserts that Plaintiffs failed to analyze how states deal with compliance with federal regulations. In this instance, this variation is likely to be immaterial because the Supreme Court recently found the FDA “regulations” under which the “ J” Lead was allowed to proceed to market does not provide protection to the public.

The Texas Penal Code provides in pertinent ### Response: holding sections 801 and 204 of the texas penal code work together to impose the burden on the defendant to prove insanity by a preponderance of the evidence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as available only when the adversary process has been halted because of an essentially unresponsive party. In that instance, the diligent party must be protected lest he be faced with interminable delay and continued uncertainty as to his rights.” The court went on to say that the possibility of being held in default acts as a deterrent to those parties resorting to delay as an element of their litigation strategy. 10 Charles A. Wright, Arthur R. Miller & Mary K. Kane, Federal Practice and Procedure § 2681 (1983) (quoting H.F. Livermore Corp. v. Aktiengesellschaft Gebruder Loepfe, 432 F.2d 689, 691 (D.C.Cir.1970)). Some courts have considered default judgement to be an appropriate sanction when a respondent fails to answer the writ. See, e.g., Ruiz v. Cady, 660 F.2d 337 (7th Cir.1981) (). In Ruiz v. Cady, the court reasoned that if ### Response: holding that although default judgement should be rare in a habeas corpus proceeding it should be preserved as a sanction against a respondents unwarranted delay " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: citing Seymour v. Potts & Callahan Contracting Co., 2 F.R.D. 38, 39-40 (D.D.C., 1941) (stating that while there is no express provision in Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 59 for a motion to rehear, there is implied recognition of such a procedure). Plaintiff argues for inclusion of the newly discovered evidence under Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 52, 59, 60, and 61. Specifically, Plaintiff cites Fed. R. Civ. Proc. 60(b) as the standard for introduction of newly discovered evidence. Mr. France’s main argument for failing to pursue these documents earlier rests on the ground of “excusable neglect.” See In re Paine Webber Short Term U.S. Gov’t Income Fund, 1995 WL 512703 (S.D.N.Y. August 29, 1995), citing Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. v. Brunswick Assoc., 507 U.S. 380, 394-395, 113 S.Ct. 1489, 123 L.Ed.2d 74 (1993) (). While it is not entirely clear which Federal ### Response: holding that the excusable neglect inquiry is at bottom an equitable one that should be made by considering the danger of prejudice to the nonmoving party the length of the delay and its potential impact upon judicial proceedings the reason for the delay including whether it was in the reasonable control of the movant and whether the movant acted in good faith " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: F.3d at 379. Deering’s argument that the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction over him because his crime did not take place on federally-owned land and the Tenth Amendment reserves drug prosecutions such as his to the states is without merit. See United States v. Owens, 996 F.2d 59, 61 (5th Cir.1993) (per curiam) (prosecution under 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a) and 846 did “not run Cir.1996) (where defendant did not object below, this court reviews for plain error only), cert. denied, 519 U.S. 1133, 117 S.Ct. 998, 136 L.Ed.2d 877 (1997). Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the district court. 1 . The Honorable Michael J. Melloy, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District of Iowa. 2 . Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) ### Response: holding that suppression by government of evidence favorable to accused upon request violates due process when evidence is material to guilt " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: doors. Reddock fled from the house as police were arriving. 9 . At the time, Boyd’s co-defendants included appellant Walker and Owens. 10 . Boyd’s additional argument, that he was entitled to a separate trial because of Easter-ling's and Travis's testimony that they knew Boyd from selling drugs, has no merit. This could have come in even in a separate trial. For example, the testimony that Easterling blurted — that he and Boyd ""used to hustle together” — came in as the prosecutor was asking questions designed to elicit that “a person who actually knew [Easterling] [and presumably knew that Easterling sometimes had large sums of cash] was Brian Boyd.” 11 . At that point, the defense had stricken seven white jurors. 12 . See also Robinson v. United States, 878 A.2d 1273, 1277 (D.C.2005) (). 13 . The court did not make a finding about ### Response: holding that tire purposeful exclusion of prospective jurors because they are black and female is discrimination on account of both race and gender in direct violation of batson " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the premises to serve the common interests of the hotel and defendant. The results of tracking in enough snow and water to create a five-foot puddle were obvious and easily foreseeable; the severity of the harm created by this condition readily apparent; the opportunity to notify of the condition and insure prevention of the obvious danger readily available and the fairness of imposing such duty indisputable. Defendant claims that the custom in the industry precludes the imposition of a duty to notify. Even if it is the custom of a delivery person- not to alert the premises owner of a hazard that he has created, the custom is wrong. See United States v. Carroll Towing Co., 159 F.2d 169, 173, reh’g denied, 160 F.2d 482 (2d Cir.1947); see also The T.J. Hooper, 60 F.2d 737, 740 (2d Cir.)

Applicable principles of contract interpretation show that the trial court did not err in finding that a valid contract existed between DNS and the Family Trust for the construction of a seawall on Lot 125. Accordingly, the court was correct in ruling that DNS was precluded from recovering against the Family Trust under the theory of quantum meruit, because a valid contract existed between them, and DNS failed to bring a breach of contract clainl against the Family Trust. While DNS argues that if the Family Trust was a party to the seawall contract, then a breach of contract claim against the Trust was tried by acquiescence, there is no evidence to support this argument. See generally Alfred S. Austin Constr. Co., Inc. v. Narnia, 220 So.2d 36, 37 (Fla. 2d DCA 1969) (). Thus, we affirm the trial court’s order ### Response: holding that trial court erroneously entered judgment pursuant to a theory which was neither pleaded nor tried by acquiescence or otherwise " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: v. Greenway, 170 Ariz. 155, 167-68, 823 P.2d 22, 34-35 (1991) (rejecting double jeopardy argument and finding aggravating factor applied to each of defendant’s first degree murder convictions when both murders were committed during commission of offense); see also State v. Ramirez, 178 Ariz. 116, 131, 871 P.2d 237, 252 (1994) (same). 9. Is the death penalty proportional in this case? See State v. Salazar, 173 Ariz. 399, 417, 844 P.2d 566, 584 (1992) (proportionality review not constitutionally required and court no longer conducts them). 10. Is death by lethal gas cruel and unusual punishment, barred by the 8th and 14th Amendments to the United States Constitution and article 2, § 15 of the Arizona Constitution? No. State v.

See Rhode Island v. Innis, 446 U.S. 291, 301, 100 S.Ct. 1682, 64 L.Ed.2d 297 (1980); Drury v. State, 368 Md. 331, 335-36, 793 A.2d 567 (2002). The circuit court, however, found that Minehan was not in custody for purposes of Miranda, a finding we uphold after examining several cases and closely reading the transcript of the interrogation. Custody means a formal arrest, or another serious restriction on freedom of movement. See Miranda, 384 U.S. at 477, 86 S.Ct. 1602. It is an objective state that is entered when a suspect is “led to believe, as a reasonable person, that he is being deprived or restricted of his freedom of action or movement under pressures of official authority.” Bond v. State, 142 Md.App. 219, 228, 788 A.2d 705 (2002) (citations omitted) ().

Cuomo, 737 F.2d 1239, 1248 (2d Cir.1984). “[Cjonstitutional standards are met when the professional who made a decision exercised ‘professional judgment’ at the time the decision was made.” Id. The court concludes that the Youngberg test is the appropriate standard in this case for determining whether the defendants’ violated M.H.’s substantive due process rights by their use of physical and mechanical restraints. See Society for Good Will to Retarded Children, 737 F.2d at 1245-46 (); see also Heidemann v.

From the record, it is apparent that the trial court rested it ruling on MHTC’s argument that the PSC had exclusive jurisdiction over the placement of both the railroad crossing and the bridges. 5 . All statutory references are to RSMo 1994 unless otherwise noted. 6 . By the adoption of § 622.015, RSMo 1986, the legislature transferred all powers, duties, and functions relating to transportation activity within the State from the PSC to the Division of Transportation of the Department of Economic Development. Coon v. Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, 826 S.W.2d 66, 69 (Mo.App. W.D.1992). 7 . See also Walker v. St. Louis-Southwestern Ry., 835 S.W.2d 469 (Mo.App. E.D.1992) (). 8 .

Companion Prods., Inc., 384 F.3d 503, 507 (8th Cir.2004). A parody does not receive absolute protection from trademark law; however, “a parody contained in an obvious editorial context is less likely to confuse, and thus [is] more deserving of protection than [trade dress and trademarks] displayed on a product.” Anheuser-Busch, Inc. v. Balducci Publ’ns, 28 F.3d 769, 776 (8th Cir.1994). Although the Lanham Act does not require that a parody carry a disclaimer, the fact that the parody carries a label stating “satire” or “parody” “should alert most consumers” that the item is a parody. Cliffs Notes, Inc. v. Bantam Doubleday Dell Publ’g Group, Inc., 886 F.2d 490, 496 (2d Cir.1989). See also Anheuser-Busch, Inc., 28 F.3d at 776-77 ().

Abdi, 430 F.3d at 1150. Additionally, the BIA may deny a motion to reopen even if the alien establishes a prima facie case for relief. 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a). In this case, the BIA did not abuse its discretion in denying Likollari’s motion to reopen. As the record shows, the majority of the evidence presented could have been presented during his asylum proceedings, and the remainder of the evidence failed to establish changed country conditions. First, the affidavit of Likollari’s attorney, Marina Meyerovich, could not be considered evidence of changed circumstances because an attorney’s arguments are not evidence. Matter of Ramirez-Sanchez, 17 I. & N. Dec. 503, 506 (BIA 1980) (). Similarly, Likollari’s sister’s and parents’ ### Response: holding that an attorneys arguments are not evidence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that he believed $15,000 would be reasonable. He also testified that, should the case go on to the Texas Supreme Court, another $5,000 to $7,000 would be required. O’Farrill’s attorney cross-examined the witness regarding the witness’s experience in filing appeals. O’Farrill’s attorney then took the stand and testified that reasonable appellate fees for an appeal to this court would be $1,500, and another $1,500 for an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court. This conflicting testimony raised a fact issue, which was resolved by the trial judge when he awarded $10,000 in appellate fees for an appeal to this court and $5,000 for an appeal to the state supreme court. This amount was somewhat less than requested and a great deal more than O’Farrill’s attorneys argued was reasonable. See id. ().

See Restatement (Third) of Foreign Relations Law, § 115, cmt. a (1987) (""It is generally assumed that Congress does not intend to repudiate an international obligation of the United States by nullifying a rule of international law or an international agreement as domestic law, or by making it impossible for the United States to carry out its obligations.”); Boureslan v. Aramco, 857 F.2d 1014, 1023 (5th Cir.1988) (King, J. dissenting) (). We recognize that there may be some variation ### Response: recognizing the presumption that congress does not intend to violate international law " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: associated with the judicial phase of the criminal process.” “Since the [Supreme] Court’s decision in Imbler, courts have taken a functional approach to absolute immunity.” “The analytical key to prosecutorial immunity ... is advocacy-whether the actions in question are those of an advocate.” “If the challenged actions of the prosecutor were not performed in his role as advocate, if they do not relate to an advocate’s preparation for the initiation of a prosecution or for judicial proceedings, then only qualified immunity applies.” But courts will bar § 1983 suits arising out of even unquestionably illegal or improper conduct by the prosecutor so long as the general nature of the action in question is part of the normal duties of a prosecutor. Imbler, 424 U.S. at 413, 430, 96 S.Ct. 984 (); Jones v.

City of Champlin, 816 F.Supp. 528, 545 (D.Minn 1993) (""The federal doctrine of qualified immunity does not apply to claims brought under [state] law.”). 3 . While some jurisdictions have held that a high-speed chase does not involve an officer's discretion, see Tice v. Cramer, 133 N.J. 347, 627 A.2d 1090, 1100-01 (1993) (noting that discretionary immunity is limited to discretion exercised at highest levels of government in matters of .policy or planning and is not applicable in pursuit case); City of Pinellas Park v.

She admits that she was falling behind at work, that she lacked focus, and that she was misplacing things. (R. Doc. 30-5 at Ex. 4, pp. 173-74, 180). The evidence supporting each of these contentions is not in dispute. When there is overwhelming and uncon-tradieted evidence that an adverse employment action was taken for other reasons, mere temporal proximity between the adverse action and an employee’s protected activity is insufficient to raise an issue of fact as to whether an employee was fired for taking leave. See Swanson v. General Services Admin., 110 F.3d 1180, 1188 (5th Cir.1997) (); Alfonso-Ferro v.

R. 47.5.4. 1 . Mejorado mentions that the court violated his Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights by preventing him from consulting with Reyna during the suppression hearing, but fails to adequately brief this assertion. The closest that Mejorado comes to arguing the point is the Delphic reference in his reply brief to McKas-kle v. Wiggins, 465 U.S. 168, 104 S.Ct. 944, 79 L.Ed.2d 122 (1984). Mejorado, however, does not explain how McKaskle, which held that a defendant’s Sixth Amendment right are not violated when a trial judge appoints standby counsel, or any other case or authority supports his view. Accordingly, the issue is waived. United States v.

Because the Supreme Court vacated Polsby on this ground, no meaningful argument can be made that the Supreme Court in any way addressed the merits of the present issue or concluded Polsby to be legally incorrect. See United States Dep't of Health & Human Servs. v. Federal Labor Relations Auth., 983 F.2d 578, 581-82 & n.2 (4th Cir.1992) (adopting reasoning of vacated opinion where vacatur did not address the issue).

Gallina, 753 So.2d 60, 62 (Fla.2000). The appellant argues that a farm tractor is a dangerous instrumentality because the legislature defines a farm tractor as a “motor vehicle” and extensively regulates their use. This argument is without merit. Although a farm tractor meets the statutory definition of a “motor vehicle,” at least three of our sister courts have held that statutory definitions of “motor vehicle” are not controlling in determining whether a device is a dangerous instrumentality. See §§ 316.003(12) & 322.01(19), Fla. Stat. (2008); Festival Fun Parks, LLC v. Gooch, 904 So.2d 542, 545-46 (Fla. 4th DCA 2005) (); Edwards v. ABC Transp.

G. A Note on Law of the Case, Stare Decisis, and Dictum. If one looks through our ICRA cases, federal cases are often simply cited for propositions of law without substantive discussion. Often times in this setting, we were simply restating legal principles that the parties were not contesting in the case. When a legal principle is embraced by the parties by agreement and is not contested on appeal, the court’s subsequent recitation of the legal principle is not a holding in the case that was a product of an adversary proceeding.

But the state did not thereby give any assurance, or come under an obligation, that its legislation upon that subject would remain unchanged. Indeed, ... the supervision of the public health and the public morals is a governmental power, continuing in its nature, and to be dealt with as the special exigencies of the moment may require; and that, for this purpose, the largest legislative discretion is allowed, and the discretion cannot be parted with any more than the power itself.

For the foregoing reasons, we conclude, as a matter of law, that the trial court’s findings and conclusions that the Estrada parties did not establish their adverse possession claim are supported by legally insufficient evidence and that the evidence affirmatively establishes the Estrada parties’ adverse possession claim.

Emerson worked at a job which required prompt, accurate handling of emergencies such as gas leaks and downed power lines that could pose significant danger to the public. Although Emerson argues that she is unlikely to suffer a panic attack at work, she has already suffered two. By its very nature, the consultant job could be stressful, and Emerson would be in contact with a supervisor who caused her further stress. This evidence is enough for us to find that Emerson posed a direct threat in the consultant position.

Thus, absent a finding of good cause, Brown was obligated to pay post-judgment interest from on or about November 2, 2007, to the date when the sums ordered in the divorce judgment were fully paid in 2008.

Here, petitioner does not have a criminal history of violence, which tends to show he is suitable for parole, rather than unsuitable. Moreover, the Governor’s finding to the contrary — especially given the length of time between petitioner’s past DUI convictions and the Governor’s reversal of the parole decision, and the fact petitioner’s alcoholism has been in remission for many years — is not supported by any evidence in the record. See Scott, 133 Cal.App.4th at 602-03, 34 Cal.Rptr.3d 905 (no evidence supported Governor’s finding that inmate had a significant criminal history when only prior convictions inmate suffered were misdemeanor reckless driving involving no injury and vandalism); Pirtle v.

The obvious inference is that Appellants viewed the federal case as a “placeholder” that they could revisit depending on the outcome of their state cases. And regardless of Appellants’ intent, their decision to bring two state court actions while missing in action from the present case prejudiced Appellees. Appel-lees were forced to defend numerous cases in separate jurisdictions simultaneously, and Appellants’ absenteeism in the case below left Appellees alone to comply with the district court’s pre-trial deadlines. In sum, the court’s dismissal was not an abuse of discretion. Lewis v. Sherriff's Dept.

To determine whether a probability of prejudice exists, the trial court should consider the following relevant inquiries: 1. The manner in which the extraneous material was received; 2. How long the extraneous material was available to the jury; 3. Whether the jury received the extraneous material before or after the verdict; 4. If received before the verdict, at what point in the deliberations was the material received; and 5.

Section 271(c) has been interpreted to require not only knowledge that the component was especially made or adapted for a particular use but also knowledge of the patent which proscribed that use.

(Emphasis added.) The guidelines, therefore, categorically define manslaughter, whether voluntary or involuntary, as a “crime of violence” for guidelines purposes. See also United States v.

In cases involving depletion of the decedent’s estate due to negligent tax planning, however, the personal representative need not prove how the decedent intended to distribute the estate; rather, the representative need only demonstrate that the decedent intended to minimize tax liability for the estate as a whole. Additionally, while the interests of the decedent and a potential beneficiary may conflict, a decedent’s interests should mirror those of his estate. Thus, the conflicts that concerned us in Barcelo are not present in malpractice suits brought on behalf of the estate. See Nevin v. Union Trust Co., 726 A.2d 694, 701 (Me.1999) ().

Similar pressure motivated by social issues likewise would not be covered by the proposed rule. As in the case of political pressure, I express no opinion on whether a clear mandate of public policy would cover that situation. The prospect of picketing in front of the employer’s place of business, threatening to withhold patronage, and other forms of economic pressure to effectuate the social goals of those protesting, should not be lightly dismissed. A rule prohibiting discharge might be totally ineffective: the protests and demonstrations would continue. Further, it might be unthinkable and perhaps unconstitutional to attempt to stop them. Cf.

However, the Court believes that Plaintiffs Original Petition is not such a pleading.

The district court dismissed on the ground that NetGate had authorized defendants’ access. It held that this consent was not coerced, because the subpoena itself informed NetGate of its right to object. Plaintiffs contend that NetGate’s authorization was nonetheless invalid because the subpoena was patently unlawful. Their claim turns on the meaning of the word “authorized” in section 2701.

Accordingly, because the appellant’s VCAA ### Response: holding that cue motion is not claim for benefits and that vcaa definition of claimant cannot encompass person seeking revision of final decision based on cue " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel.”). This conclusion is all the more appropriate given the relative strength of the issues that Baker’s counsel did raise on appeal. See Thompson, 598 F.3d at 285 (stating that appellate counsel is ineffective only if a Blakely claim would have been “clearly stronger than [the] issues that counsel did present”). Although Baker’s conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal, the Second District found at least some merit in Baker’s ineffective-assistance-of-trial-counsel claims, noting that “evidence presented at trial could have supported an instruction for [the lesser included offense of] aggravated assault” had counsel requested one, and that counsel had called a witness whose testimony “was not helpful to the defense.” Cf. id. at 287 (). 2. Prejudice Even if Baker could show that ### Response: holding failure to raise blakely claim was not ineffective performance where appellate counsel raised several plausible arguments and did not merely assert a perennial loser such as a sufficiencyoftheevidence claim quoting benning 345 fedappx at 158 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “tend to exchange prudent caution for timidity,” thereby hindering the performance of an already difficult job. Kari, 582 N.W.2d at 924 (quoting Pletan, 494 N.W.2d at 41). The same reasoning applies to government-employed ambulance crews providing emergency medical care. Fear of potential civil liability arising from their actions in an emergency situation could cause crew members to hesitate in providing treatment, thereby increasing the risk to patients. Finally, we note that the fact that a written protocol exists does not transform an otherwise discretionary act into a ministerial one. Field-level actions taken by public officials may be discretionary even when there are extensive regulations that dictate procedure. See Kelly v.

The Florida Supreme Court and the District Courts of Appeal in this state have routinely held that Miranda does not apply to questions designed to obtain basic booking information. In Holland v. State, 773 So.2d 1065, 1073-74 (Fla.2000), the Florida Supreme Court found that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Holland’s motion to suppress his statements to the police. The facts are as follows. After Holland was arrested, the police obta with Holland was to ascertain his real name, not to speak with him about the case, the trial court did not err in denying Holland’s motion to suppress his statements. See also Pennsylvania v. Muniz, 496 U.S. 582, 601, 110 S.Ct. 2638, 110 L.Ed.2d 528 (1990) (); Allred v.

Similarly, it may be counterintuitive to allow credit against prison time for the period Anderson spent living at home wearing an electronic ankle bracelet, but this result is not so absurd as to permit us to disregard the plain language of the statute requiring that credit. See Holland, 253 Iowa at 1011, 115 N.W.2d at 164; Iowa R.App. P. 6.904(3)(to ). State courts in construing their respective state statutes have reached different conclusions as to whether sentencing credit is awarded for electronic monitoring and home supervision. Several states allow sentencing credit for electronic monitoring at home. See, e.g., State v. Guillen, 130 N.M. 803, 32 P.3d 812, 813 (N.M.Ct.App.2001) (); Harris v.

The fourth and final factor concerns the nexus between the lack of license and the contract at issue. In the present case, there is an undeniably direct connection. The performance for which Bergantzel seeks compensation is the unauthorized practice of law, conduct that she was prohibited by law from performing. In other words, the unlicensed conduct is not a collateral matter. Weighing all the factors, we conclude that the interest in refusing to enforce the contract must prevail. The fact that Ber-gantzel has already performed and, in that sense, Mlynarik will receive a windfall, simply does not outweigh the strong public policy against the unauthorized practice of law. See Meunier, 170 So. at 578 (). Accordingly, we conclude that the contract is ### Response: holding that adjuster who had fully performed could not recover his contractual contingent fee due to the strong public policy against the practice of law by laypersons " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: been isolated for over five years, with only a few months of relief in the interim. # * * The duration of Bailey’s confinement is a necessary component in the Sandin analysis.

Therefore, even though the Affidavits of Violation of Probation were filed within the probationary period, the “probation revocation process” as defined in Boyd was not set in motion within that period, and the county court did not have jurisdiction over these revocation proceedings. See Francois v. State, 695 So.2d 695, 697 (Fla.1997) (“[W]hen a probationary period expires, the court is divested of jurisdiction over the probationer unless, prior to that time, the appropriate steps were taken to revoke or modify the probation.”). Furthermore, the mandate of Boyd and Francois cannot be avoided by construing the defendants’ violations of probation as “absconding” that would toll the probationary period.

Plaintiff brings this action for damages for breach of contract alleging that defendant failed to take possession of the premises and failed to make payments required under the sublease.

It would appear that only through the comprehensive rezoning process could the County accomplish a downzoning without the property owner’s consent.

When the police brought defendant to the station at 8:30 a.m., they informed him of his Miranda rights, and he signed a waiver. Defendant ate lunch at around 3:00 p.m. The first interrogation began at 3:37 p.m. At this first interrogation session, the police again read defendant his rights, and he signed another rights form. The interrogation lasted a little over an hour, at which point defendant started to cry and asked for a half-hour “to think.” The interrogation ceased, and the police returned defendant to his cell. By requesting “time to think,” defendant was not invoking his right to silence. See State v. Bey, 112 N.J. 123, 138-40, 548 A.2d 887 (1988) (Bey II) ().

IV. Conclusion For the reasons discussed herein, the district court’s denial of summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity is AFFIRMED. 1 . The other defendants named in Karl’s complaint have either been dismissed from the case or have not appealed. Likewise, no other claims alleged in Karl’s complaint are before the court. 2 . We have previously declined to decide whether a public employee’s testimony is per se a matter of public concern regardless of its content or the type of proceeding in which it is offered. See Clairmont, 632 F.3d at 1103; Alpha Energy Savers, Inc. v. Hansen, 381 F.3d 917, 926 n. 6 (9th Cir.2004).

In addition, while due process requires that a guilty plea be made with knowledge of its direct consequences, In re Personal Restraint of Peters, 50 Wn. App. 702, 704, 750 P.2d 643 (1988), a deportation proceeding that occurs subsequent to the entry of a guilty plea is a collateral consequence of that plea. In re Personal Restraint of Yim, 139 Wn.2d 581, 588, 989 P.2d 512 (1999) (citing State v. Ward, 123 Wn.2d 488, 512-13, 869 P.2d 1062 (1994)). As such, Jamison need not have been advised, on due process as opposed to statutory grounds, of the immigration consequences of the plea. See Yim, 139 Wn.2d at 588 (citing Ward, 123 Wn.2d at 512).

The court explained: “In our view it would indeed constitute ‘antics with semantics’ to say that litigation with a stale tort claim, one against which the applicable statute of limitations has been specifically pleaded, remains ‘legally entitled to recover’ when his remedy has been taken away! To be ‘legally entitled to recover damages’ a plaintiff must not on aim seeking UM benefits “is actually one for the tort allegedly committed by the uninsured motorist.” Id.

The Alabama Supreme Court has stated that the ### Response: holding that an insurer may assert as defenses the nonnegligence of the uninsured the contributory negligence of the insured and the lack of resulting damage all being matters of substantive law and legal defenses of the uninsured but it does not succeed to the rights of the uninsured motorist to interpose the latters procedural defense of statute of limitations " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the plaintiffs employment severely enough to support a hostile work environment claim. Id. Other courts have also noted the severe impact of the use of the word. See Bailey v. Binyon, 583 F.Supp. 923, 927 (N.D.Ill.1984). “The use of the word ‘niggeP automatically separates the person addressed from every non-black person; this is discrimination per se.” Id. In addition, in the present case, it is undisputed that Vasilopulos not only used the word “nigger” in the exchange with Tutman but Vasilopulos also threatened to kill Tutman. This added physical threat makes the present case distinguishable from cases in which the Seventh Circuit has held that there was no hostile work environment as a matter of law. See McKenzie v. Illinois Dep’t of Transportation, 92 F.3d 473, 480 (7th Cir.1996) (); Drake v. Minnesota Mining & Mfg.

More specifically, insurance premium discounts given in the context of a lawsuit settlement have been treated as legal and proper under such statutes. See e.g., Fidelity & Cas. Co. of New York v.

Additionally, in determining the intent of the contracting parties, all provisions in the agreement will be construed together and each will be given effect. Murphy v. Duquesne Univ., 565 Pa. 571, 591, 777 A.2d 418, 429 (2001). Thus, we will not interpret one provision of a contract in a manner which results in another portion being annulled. Capek, at 274, 767 A.2d at 1050. Our Court has previously concluded that a party to a franchise agreement has an obligation to conduct itself with good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

United States v.

Brown, 53 F.3d 312, 314-15 (11th Cir.1995). To convict Moghaddam under 18 U.S.C. § 371, the government had to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Moghaddam (1) knowingly and voluntarily entered into an agreement with another person to export paddlefísh without the required permits and (2) the agreement was manifested by an overt act. 18 U.S.C. § 371; see United States v.

Dep’t of Air Force, 82 M.S.P.R. 75, 92 (1999).) However, these cases are fact specific; they certainly do not stand for the proposition that all witnesses who may add some additional detail need be allowed to testify. On the contrary, just as district courts enjoy broad discretion to exclude evidence, the probative value of which is substantially outweighed by “considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence,” Fed.R.Evid. 403; see also United States v. Tarantino, 846 F.2d 1384, 1410 (D.C.Cir.1988) (), the MSPB also enjoys substantial discretion ### Response: holding that a district court did not abuse its discretion in excluding the testimony of a witness that was not highly probative " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to Batoon — is without merit.

Haut, 107 F.3d 213, 218 (3d Cir.1997), we held that we must sustain the District Court’s factual findings as to a § 3B1.2 minimal or minor role adjustment unless those findings are clearly erroneous. See id. (“We review under a clearly erroneous standard the district court’s factual determinations, such as whether a defendant receives a reduced or increased offense level based on his role in the offense.”); United States v. Carr, 25 F.3d 1194, 1207 (3d Cir.1994); United States v. Bierley, 922 F.2d 1061, 1064 (3d Cir.1990) (citing United States v. Mejia-Orosco, 867 F.2d 216, 220-21 (5th Cir.1989) ()).

Alternatively, the statute of limitations may be a non-issue because the administrative decision to confine a prisoner to IAS is usually not a discrete one-time act, but a continuing administrative process subject to regular and periodic review. In this case, the Court can pretermit the issue because the petitioner is not entitled to habeas review, regardless of the applicability of the statute of limitations. 3 . For instance, as discussed at the close of this order, the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has concluded that a pet r.1996) (post-AEDPA decision holding its presumption-of-correctness principles apply to prison administrative body imposing disciplinary penalties); Hanson v.

Insofar as Plaintiff requests prospective injunctive relief, all of these claims fit squarely within the Ex parte Young exception and are not barred by the Eleventh Amendment. The Ex parte Young doctrine ensures the protection of individuals’ federal rights by allowing suits for prospective injunctive relief against state officials in their official capacity. It is beyond dispute that Ex parte Young actions may be maintained for violations of Title II of the ADA, § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, and 42 U.S.C. § 1988. See Harris v. Mills, 572 F.3d 66, 72 (2d Cir.2009) (); Dube v.

Id. at § 1362(16). “Discharge” of a pollutant or pollutants means “any addition of any pollutant to navigable waters from a point source.” Id. at § 1362(12). The USFS asserts that the plain meaning of “discharge” is limited to a point source or a nonpoint source with a conveyance. Defendant-intervenors claim that “discharge” is limited to point sources only, interpreting the phrase “without, qualification” in the discharge definition as allowing some types of nonpoint source activity to fall within the statutory definition of point source. These arguments contradict the plain meaning of the term “discharge.” The term “including” in the discharge definition permits additional, unstated meanings. National Wildlife Federation v. Gorsuch, 693 F.2d 156, 172 (D.C.Cir.1982) (); Exxon Corp. v.

In such circumstances, this Court expected the Debtor to seek approval from bankruptcy courts to retain Mr. Kaplan to perform accounting services on behalf of his estate. The fact that Mr. Kaplan was performing such services for free or on behalf of one or all of the entities that the Debtor controls did not suspend this requirement. The Debtor’s failure to submit an application for retention of Mr. Kaplan prevented this Court from testing whether his services would benefit the interests of the estate and whether Mr. Kaplan may suffer from a conflict of interest that would otherwise prevent his employment by the Debtor’s estate. See, e.g., In re Liebfried Aviation, Inc., 445 B.R. 30, 34 (Bankr.D.Mass.2011) (). VI.

First, these courts conclude that, viewed subjectively and objectively, notification statutes are “remedial” laws that are not motivated by “punitive, penal purposes.” W.P. v. Poritz, 931 F.Supp. at 1214; see also, e.g., Doe v. Poritz, 662 A.2d at 404 (“legislative intent [behind Megan’s Law] ... is clearly and totally remedial”). These courts rely heavily on their conclusion that these laws serve “significant remedial goals,” including as the “primary focus ... the protection of children and others from previously-convicted sex offenders, near them in the community, who have been found to have a moderate or high risk of re-offense.” W.P. v. Poritz, 931 F.Supp. at 1214; accord Stearns v. Gregoire, slip op. at 13 ().

Additionally, the July 2000 notice of this debt was sent before the Secretary had taken any action with regard to Mrs. Edwards’ May 2000 submissions. Nevertheless, the Secretary treated the $2,366 and $12,347 overpay-ments as separate matters throughout the proceedings. In this case, whether Mrs. Edwards’ May 2000 submissions could be considered a waiver request of both debts becomes relevant if, and only if, the May 2000 submissions, individually or collectively, are deemed to be a request for waiver. Thus, this issue is interrelated with the matter being remanded. Under these circumstances, the matter will be remanded for consideration by the Board in the first instance. See Maggitt v.

In State v. Scott, 331 N.C. 39, 413 S.E.2d 787 (1992), the Supreme Court stated in requiring the exclusion of evidence otherwise admissible pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 8C-1, Rule 404(b) under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 8C-1, Rule 403, that: [W]here the probative value of such evidence depends upon defendant’s having in fact committed the prior alleged offense, his acquittal of the offense in an earlier trial so divests the evidence of probative value that, as a matter of law, it cannot outweigh the tendency of such evidence unfairly to prejudice the defendant. Such evidence is thus barred by N.C. R dence tending to show that Defendant possessed various prescription drugs which he was acquitted of possessing. State v. Allen, 144 N.C.

Separation Agreements Prior to 1983, the law in South Carolina was unclear as to what specific words were necessary to render a separation agreement enforceable in the family court. In Kelly v. Edwards, 276 S.C. 368, 278 S.E.2d 773 (1981), the supreme court held that an agreement incorporated but not merged in a divorce decree was enforceable only as a contract and that the family court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to enforce it. Thereafter, in Brooks v. Brooks, 277 S.C. 322, 326, 286 S.E.2d 669, 671 (1982), the supreme court concluded the family court properly held a party in contempt for violating a separation agreement that was not merged in the final decree. See also Bryant v. Varat, 278 S.C. 77, 292 S.E.2d 298 (1982) (). In 1983, however, the South Carolina Supreme ### Response: holding that the family court lacked subject matter jurisdiction to hold a party in contempt where the separation agreement was incorporated but not merged into a divorce decree " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: gave no consideration to lesser restraints and made no adequate findings that forcing Messrs. Pursley and Wardell to wear a stun belt ... was necessary.”). We uphold the district court’s stun-belt order. While a defendant enjoys the “right to appear before the jury unfettered from physical restraints,” this right is not unqualified. United States v. Hack, 782 F.2d 862, 867 (10th Cir.1986). Freedom from restraint helps to preserve, among other constitutional guarantees, “the due process right to a fair and impartial trial.” United States v. Apodaca, 843 F.2d 421, 430-31 (10th Cir.1988). A district court, however, retains the discretion to take measures to maintain order and security within its courtroom. See Deck v. Missouri, 544 U.S. 622, 632, 125 S.Ct. 2007, 161 L.Ed.2d 953 (2005) (); Hack, 782 F.2d at 867 (acknowledging the ### Response: recognizing the need to give trial courts latitude in making individualized security determinations " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: direct evidence of discrimination or relied solely on circumstantial evidence.

Green, 411 U.S. 792, 802-05, 93 S.Ct. 1817, 36 L.Ed.2d 668 (1973) (describing the circumstantial evidence model). Like the parties, we apply the distinction drawn by these cases. As the Supreme Court has recently reemphasized, however, the McDonnell Douglas framework is a “flexible evidentiary, standard” whose requirements “vary depending on the context”; it is a method for proving cases rather than the definition of a cause of action. Swierkiewicz v. Sorema N.A., 534 U.S. 506, 122 S.Ct. 992, 997, 152 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002) (). A.

To the extent that Act No. 26 is not limited to South Carolina, they claim the General Assembly improperly imposed its “public policy objections to the application of traditional occurrence definitions to construction cases involving faulty workmanship, on sister states.” We find several procedural barriers prevent the Amici from presenting this argument. The Amici lack standing to assert their challenge, and their claim is not ripe for review as they posit a hypothetical scenario, which Petitioner does not raise and which may not come to fruition.

Rather, their dispute centers around the remaining three prongs. 2. Governmental Interest The defendants argue that the governmental interest behind § 189.635 is to protect accident victims’ privacy and safety by keeping the personal information contained in such reports out of the hands of the general public. We are persuaded that such an interest is substantial, as evidenced by the fact that a number of other courts that have considered similar statutes have reached the same conclusion. See Florida Bar v. Went For It, Inc., 515 U.S. 618, 115 S.Ct. 2371, 132 L.Ed.2d 541 (1995); Lanphere & Urbaniak v. Colorado, 21 F.3d 1508 (10th Cir.1994); Speer v.

Ed. 2d 983 (2004).” The plaintiff has no burden to carry until the committee presents clear and convincing evidence of the violation. Here, after the plaintiff provides evidence that he had an objective, reasonable belief that his statements were true, the burden shifts back to the committee to rebut that evidence and, ultimately, to carry its burden of persuasion and to convince the finder of fact of the truth of the claimed violation.

We disagree. In Mu’min v. Pruett, 125 F.3d 192 (4th Cir.1997), we rejected a similar claim that the Virginia Supreme Court implicitly considered and rejected a habeas applicant’s constitutional claims during its mandatory review of the applicant’s death sentence because the mandatory review procedures only required the Virginia Supreme Court to determine “whether the imposition of the death penalty was influenced by improper considerations,” and not to “examine the record for constitutional errors not specified on appeal.” Id. at 197; see Kornahrens v.

When the taxpayer paid under threat of immediate harm or duress to person or property, the taxpayer usually could recover the taxes in an action at law, since such a payment was considered involuntary. See City of Baltimore v. Lefferman, 4 Gill 425 (1846) (""We consider, therefore, the doctrine as established, that a payment is not to be regarded as compulsory, unless made to emancipate the person or property, from an actual and existing duress, imposed upon it by the party, to whom the money is paid”); see also Martin G.

Nothing in the statute, however, forbids it so long as it is accomplished within the six-month time frame triggered by the initial dismissal without prejudice. And so it was here. The state apparently elected to forego the appeal inasmuch as the time extension to refile was running and not tolled by the appeal, and there was danger that the A.R.S. § 13-107(F) time limits would run before adjudication of the appeal. See State v. Million, 120 Ariz. 10, 583 P.2d 897 (1978). See also Litak v. Scott, 138 Ariz. 599, 676 P.2d 631 (1984), ().

Promissory Estoppel Plaintiffs third claim invokes the doctrine of promissory estoppel. Under Michigan law, courts will enforce a clear and definite promise under this doctrine if the promisee or a third party reasonably relied on the promise and injustice can only be avoided by its enforcement.

Thus, a consent to search that is obtained in violation of Miranda, that is, when it results from conversations initiated by the police after a suspect invokes his right to counsel or right to silence, is not necessarily violative of the Constitution. See ibid, (noting that “a consent to search obtained following a Miranda violation is not automatically tainted”). The Sixth Circuit has held that “where police simply fail to administer Miranda warnings, the admissibility of non-testimonial physical evidence derived from the uncounseled statements should turn of a statement mirror those used to assess the voluntariness of a consent to search. See Schneckloth v. Bustamonte, 412 U.S. 218, 227, 93 S.Ct. 2041, 36 L.Ed.2d 854 (1973) (); Guerra, 237 F.Supp.2d at 803.

At trial, however, Long testified that he was not aware until 2005 that he did not pay his taxes, and that he thought Magida was filing his returns and paying his taxes for him. (Tr. at pp. 15, 28.) Finally, Long also testified at trial — inconsistently—that he thought the taxes for at least 2001 were being paid out of the proceeds of the sale of his McDonald’s franchise. (Id. at pp. 14, 29.)

As this court recently noted, “[t]he determination of whether alleged conduct is sufficiently severe or pervasive is not an exact science, but this [cjourt’s decisions on this issue provide guidance.” Gibson v. Potter, 264 Fed.Appx. 397, 400 (5th Cir.2008). The type of non-consensual physical touching alleged by Paul was held to be actionable under Title VII only in cases where it was chronic and frequent.

The language of the condition precedent does not apply to claims that Carrón could or could not make at any given time. Rather, the condition applies to those “claims” that Carrón might make. Brentwood’s subjective belief concerning the likelihood of Carrón filing a lawsuit is irrelevant under the plain language of the condition precedent. As other courts have noted, this language instructs the court to first look at the insured’s subjective knowledge “and then the objective understanding of a reasonable attorney with that knowledge.” Coregis Ins. Co. v. Baratta & Fenerty, Ltd., 264 F.3d 302, 306 (3rd Cir.2001) (emphasis added); see also Wittner, Poger, Rosenblum & Spewak, P.C. v. Bar Plan Mutual Ins.

See Drake v. Southwestern Bell Tel. Co., 553 F.2d 1185, 1188 (8th Cir.1977) (applying Missouri five-year statute of limitations to a cause of action under § 1981). According to the trial court, the last act of harassment directed at Roddy was the kicking incident in April 1991, and the statute of limitations ran back only to March 1992. Although Roddy agrees that conduct prior to March 1992 is not actionable, Roddy contends that the record as a whole shows the existence of a pattern of harassment more recently than March 1992. See Van Steenburgh v. Rival Co., 171 F.3d 1155, 1159 (8th Cir.1999) ().

This is not a case where the class representatives are pursuing relatively insignificant claims while jeopardizing the ability of class members to pursue far more substantial, meaningful claims. Rather, here the named plaintiffs simply decided to pursue certain claims while abandoning a fraud claim that probably was not certifiable. See, e.g., Gunnells v.

The claims inherited from the creditors are not arbitrable for the reasons explained in Allegaert Id. at 206-07 (citations omitted). Allegaert, Hays and Hagerstown all involved fraudulent transfer claims. Specifically addressing the arbitrability of preferential transfer claims brought under section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code, the court in OHC Liquidation, 2005 WL 670310, at *4, ruled that it was “entirely appropriate” to equate preferential transfers with fraudulent transfers as core proceedings belonging to the trustee and not derivative of the debtor.

Booker v. GTE.net LLC, 350 F.3d 515, 518-19 (6th Cir.2003) (applying Kentucky law). As an initial matter, I note that RWT is not necessarily relieved of vicarious liability for malicious prosecution solely because it is an intentional tort. There are numerous decisions finding employers vicariously liable for the intentional torts of their employees. See, e.g., Patterson, 172 S.W.3d at 363 (); Frederick v.

April 19, 2000) (a Nevada case in which the court upheld the Nevada Supreme Court’s ability to limit the unconstitutional depravity instruction and affirm the sentence).

In so doing, West necessarily swept away such no-privity, breach of implied warranty cases in favor of the new action of strict liability in tort. Stated differently, the doctrine of strict liability in tort supplants all no-privity, breach of implied warranty cases, because it was, in effect, created out of these cases. This ground-breaking holding, however, did not result in the demise of the contract action of breach of implied warranty, as that action remains, said the West court, where privity of contract is shown.

Applying the common usage of the term and the definition in Chapter 601, we conclude that physical contact with a detached axle and tandem wheels is not actual physical contact with a motor vehicle under the unidentified motor vehicle provision. Elchehimi also argues that this collision involved a legally recognized substitute for the statute’s actual physical contact requirement. In Latham v. Mountain States Mutua of contact with parts of the vehicle itself, rather than simply cargo, has concluded that such contact is also not enough to satisfy this strict requirement. See Smith v.

The State counters that Sony failed to preserve this issue for appeal because Sony did not assert in the trial court that the statute was facially void or void as applied to him. When challenging the constitutionality of a statute for vagueness, there are two types of challenges: (1) an “as applied” challenge, involving whether a statute is unconstitutional as applied to a defendant’s particular conduct, and (2) a “facial” challenge, involving whether a statute is unconstitutional on its face. Fluellen v. State, 104 S.W.3d 152, 167 (Tex.App.-Texarkana 2003, no pet.). Texas law is clear that an “as applied” challenge cannot be raised for the first time on appeal. See, e.g., Curry v.

We hold that Smith has successfully pled retaliation under Section 3730(h). The district court thus erred when it granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss that claim. V. In sum, we hold that the district court erred when it dismissed Counts I, II, and IV of Smith’s complaint with prejudice. In light of this holding, the district court’s award of costs to Defendants is also improper. Cf. Kollsman, a Div. of Sequa Corp. v.

Other sections have yet another definition. See, e.g., Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 2L1.2 Cmt., Application Note l(B)(iii) (2004). 7 .The difference is that, in the definition of ""crinie of violence,” the use of force can be against another’s property; on the other hand, in the ACCA, property is not mentioned. Compare 18 U.S.C. § 16(a) with id. § 924(e)(l)(B)(i). 8 . In United States v. Rutherford, 54 F.3d 370 (7th Cir.1995), the Seventh Circuit provided an additional reason for this conclusion. Examining the term ""crime of violence"" in § 4B1.2 of the United States Sentencing Guidelines (which is almost identical to the ACCA), the court found that the first prong requires a specific intent. Id. at 372-374. It further reasoned that 5 (4th Cir.2001)(). But see Sentencing Guidelines Manual § 4B1.4 ### Response: holding that our reasoning regarding the meaning of violent felony is relevant to determining the meaning of crime of violence because the definitions are almost identical " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: she was required to stand “at some points” but “not all day” while substitute teaching. (Id. at 15). In sum, the evidence of record demonstrates that Plaintiff may have a diminished tolerance for a normal daily activity, but the record does not demonstrate that Plaintiffs condition substantially limits her major life activity of standing. See Chanda, 234 F.3d at 1222. The Court now turns to the question of whether Plaintiffs congenital heart disease substantially limits her major life activity of lifting. In her first deposition, Plaintiff testified that she has been restricted from lifting items weighing more than thirty pounds. (First Reis Depo. at 17). Plaintiff is able to engage in basic personal activities. She can bathe herself, prepare her own , 101 F.3d 346, 349 (4th Cir.1996) (); Aucutt v.

Michigan, 547 U.S. 586, 594-99, 126 S.Ct. 2159, 165 L.Ed.2d 56 (2006). Here, that task is simple. The deterrence benefit of suppressing the evidence will “ensure that an occupant’s right to privacy [in his home] is protected, and that his ... dignity [will be] preserved.” See United States v. Thompson, 667 F.Supp.2d 758, 768 (S.D. Ohio 2009). These twin concerns will grow more important, not less, as immigration plays an increasingly central and vitriolic role in our public discourse. The Court, therefore, finds great deterrence benefit in ensuring that law-enforcement officers know the bounds of their authority under the Fourth Amendment and federal immigration law. See United States v. Toledo, 615 F.Supp.2d 453, 464 n.5 (S.D.W. Va. 2009) (). Suppressing the tainted evidence in this case ### Response: holding that deterrence benefits are clear in criminal cases involving immigration law given congressionally mandated restrictions on lawenforcement power " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: injury, were the result of the December fall, an occurrence which is not a subject of the claims before us. As to the hip, Dr. Paff attributed one-third of her disability to the preexisting condition, one-third to the June, 1992 fall, and one-third to the December fall. Dr. Hufft testified that Claimant had no shoulder or sacroiliac joint injuries, and that her knee problem was caused by the problem in her hip. He concluded that the condition of Claimant’s hip was not caused by the falls, and that she sustained no permanent partial disability as a result of them. Claimant argues that the aggravation of a preexisting condition may result in a compen-sable condition. We do not dispute the validity of this general premise. See Miller v. Wefelmeyer, 890 S.W.2d 372, 376 (Mo.App. E.D.1994) ().

Instead, this opinion permits a litigant who loses in the trial court to simply appeal and try to secure a more favorable outcome before a different judge when the child custody determination is inevitably vacated and the case remanded. At a time when the Arizona Supreme Court has recently limited the use of this type of litigation tactic in criminal cases, see State v. Henderson, 210 Ariz. 561, 567, ¶ 19, 115 P.3d 601, 607 (2005) (), we should not expand its use in civil cases. ### Response: holding that a defendant who fails to object to trial error forfeits his right to appellate review unless he can establish fundamental error " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 174 P.3d 706 (2008), the Washington Court of Appeals considered whether the forensic search of a computer which extended beyond ten days was unconstitutional. The officers obtained a search warrant on March 5 to search Grenning’s residence for his computer. On March 6 the officers entered Gren-ning’s residence and seized his computer. The officers conducted continuing forensic examinations of the computer for more than ten days after the date the search warrant had been issued. The court noted that, because computer searches usually occur at different locations than where the computer is seized and involve more preparation and expertise than an ordinary search, delays in the forensic examination of computers are expected and reasonable. Id., at 713-14. The court he 481 (D.P.R.2002) (); Commonwealth v.

Estes does not dispute that the horse became startled, and he did not argue before the trial court that Croxton’s failure to assess A.G.E.’s riding ability was a cause of the accident. Estes’s contention is that the defendants are not entitled to immunity under the Equine Act because the defendants “made no attempt to assess what type of rider the minor child was, let alone whether she should have even been on the horse in the first place. Without the defendants fulfilling their obligations, i.e., inquiring to a rider’s ability and handling the horse in accordance with such abilities, the defendants are not entitled to the protection of the Act. See Willeck ex tel. Willeck v. Mrotek, Inc., 616 N.W.2d 526 (Wis.App.2000) ().” In support of this argument, Estes cites ### Response: holding equine activities liability act immunity inapplicable because the sponsor did not find out riders actual ability before matching horse with rider " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the shooting which resulted in Mendez’s death. {32} Defendant is liable for the crime of first-degree depraved-mind murder whether or not he fired the fatal shot. It appears that in this case the jury rejected Defendant’s version of the incident, and we will not substitute our judgment for that of the jury. We hold that sufficient evidence exists, to affirm Defendant’s conviction of first-degree depraved-mind murder on either a principal or accessory liability theory. V. {33} Defendant was charged and convicted of conspiracy to commit a first-degree depraved-mind murder. The State concedes that this conviction must be vacated because this Court has explicitly held that this is not a cognizable crime in New Mexico. We agree. See Baca, 1997-NMSC-059, ¶ 51, 124 N.M. 333, 950 P.2d 776 (); cf. State v. Varela, 1999-NMSC-045, ¶ 42, 128 ### Response: holding that a conviction for conspiracy to commit firstdegree depravedmind murder could not stand under current case law because conspiracy requires both intent to agree and intent to commit the offense which is the object of the conspiracy and depravedmind murder is an unintentional killing resulting from highly reckless behavior " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: has “expressly retained” submerged lands. Reinforcing this reading of the Act is the fact that the Act’s terms reach lands governed by the equal footing doctrine as well as lands beneath the territorial sea. Under the terms of the statute, equal footing lands, like those beneath the territorial sea, pass to a State unless the United States “expressly retained” them. In passing the Act, Congress would have legislated against the backdrop of our early equal footing cases. See Montana, 450 U. S., at 552, n. 2. There is no indication that, in formulating the “expressly retained” standard, Congress intended to upset settled doctrine and to impose on the Federal Government a more or less demanding standard than the one reflected in those cases, see, e. g., Holt State Bank, supra, at 55 (), and carried forward in Montana and Utah Div. ### Response: holding that intent to defeat state title to submerged lands must be definitely declared or otherwise made very plain " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of the action and afford them an opportunity to present their objections.” Greaves, 121 B.R. at 235 (quoting Mullane v.

II. Contracts Clause Defendants move to dismiss Plaintiffs’ federal claims for impairment of contract. Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits states from passing any law “impairing the Obligation of Contracts.” While the language of the Contracts Clause is absolute on its face, “[i]t does not trump the police power of a state to protect the general welfare of its citizens, a power which is ‘paramount to any rights under contracts between individuals.’ ” Buffalo Teachers Fed’n v. Tobe, 464 F.3d 362, 367 (2d Cir.2006) () (quoting Allied Structural Steel Co. v. ### Response: holding that courts must accommodate the contracts clause with the inherent police power of the state to safeguard the vital interests of its people " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: judg ment.” Parker v. Conway, 581 F.3d 198, 201 (3d Cir.2009). In addition, the Supreme Court has stated that when a plaintiff recovers only nominal damages because he has failed to prove actual, compensable injury, “the only reasonable fee is usually no fee at all.” Farrar, 506 U.S. at 115, 113 S.Ct. 566. Section 1997e(d)(2) of the PLRA has been consistently interpreted by our Court and others to cap attorney’s fee awards in prisoner litigation to 150 percent of the judgment, which, in this case, would be $1.50. While we have not previously faced a challenge to this fee cap in the context of a nominal damages case, we have elsewhere considered whether it violates equal protection and, in that context, have confirmed that § 1997e(d)(2) imposes such a cap. See Parker, 581 F.3d at 204 (). See also Collins v. Montgomery Cty.

As a result, its employees’ positions were essentially unaltered because they performed the same work under the same conditions for almost all of the same supervisors. Therefore, there was substantial continuity between the Brown & Root and Brown-Eagle operations. Second, but for its discriminatory hiring practices, as found by the NLRB based on substantial evidence, Brown-Eagle applicants would have constituted a majority of the Brown & Root workforce in this department, which would have satisfied the second prong of the successorship doctrine. Because it cannot benefit from its unlawful practices, we must uphold the NLRB’s finding that Brown & Root was a successor employer and had a duty to bargain with the Union.

Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section: (1) The collection of any amount (including any interest, fee, charge, or expense incidental to the principal obligation) unless such amount is expressly authorized by the agreement creating the debt or permitted by law. 15 U.S.C. § 1692f. In Ohio, there is no right to recover court costs or statutory interest except for when a court enters a lawful judgment in an action validly commenced under law. See Ohio Rev.Code § 2335.19. Any debt collector’s attempt to recover court costs in the absence of a valid judgment constitutes a violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1692f. See Shula v. Lawent, 359 F.3d 489, 491 (7th Cir. 2004); Veach v.

Plaintiff has a well-documented history of bipolar disorder since 1989. (Pl.’s Stmt. Ex. 2.) Defendant’s view of plaintiffs disability ignores the teaching of Sutton, where the Supreme Court acknowledged that medication may partially, but not wholly, relieve an impairment that substantially limits a major life activity, and expressly rejected the notion that partial amelioration of a disabling condition renders the individual ineligible for protection under the ADA.

On appeal, OCDSS now supports the trial court’s decision to cease reunification efforts. At the hearing, OCDSS recommended that reunification efforts continue.

Thomas conditioned his guilty plea on his right to appeal the district court’s denial of his motion to suppress statements that were the product of an allegedly unlawful arrest. After an evidentiary hearing, the magistrate judge entered a thorough report with extensive factual findings. It concluded that the police had adequate cause, first to detain Thomas and then to arrest him at the scene. See United States v.

We further construe the complaint as alleging a violation of Henley’s right to be free from gender-based discrimination inasmuch as she is asserting defendants, as state actors, intentionally discriminated against and sexually harassed her because of her gender.

Housewares claims that this order “established, at most, General Housewares’ liability for part of the cost of removing the underground storage tank.” Appellant’s Brief at 13. We agree. Housewares, by agreeing to a cleanup of the Lexington site, assumed partial liability. This establishes, prima facie, that Housewares actually knew that it had incurred some liability at this site prior to the inception of the first National policy. On July 19, 1993, the EPA notified Housewares that it was a potentially responsible party (PRP) with regard to the Antrim site. The receipt of this notice does not establish actual liability.

In so suggesting, however, we have explicitly rejected claims for attorney’s fees where the temporary restraining order merely maintained the status quo. See, e.g., Christopher P., 915 F.2d at 805 (“[T]he procurement of a [temporary restraining order] in which the court does not address the merits of the case but simply preserves the status quo to avoid irreparable harm to the plaintiff is not by itself sufficient to give a plaintiff prevailing party status.”); cf.

See § 402.302, Fla. Stat. (2010). Commendably, Foster concedes error, based upon the plain language of section 775.08435(l)(a), Florida Statutes (2012), which prohibits a court from withholding an adjudication of guilt upon a defendant who commits a first-degree felony, and State v.

We decline, therefore, to find that the dictum to the contrary in Clark v. Universal Builders, Inc., 409 F.Supp. 1274, 1279 (N.D. 111.1976), makes the allegation of conspiracy here frivolous. Moreover, it would be anomalous in any case to permit an entity which was established for the very purpose of engaging in a discriminatory act to be insulated, and to insulate its members, from liability as conspirators, by virtue of its establishment.

Without such an express grant, the circuit court did not have jurisdiction to determine whether the district court’s decision constituted an abuse of discretion. See, e.g., Nicely v. Commonwealth, 23 Va.App. 327, 333-34, 477 S.E.2d 11, 13 (1996) ().

Actual malice means knowledge of, or reckless disregard for, the falsify of a statement. New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 279-80, 11 L. Ed. 2d 686, 706 (1964). Lawyers who make derogatory remarks about judges are similarly protected from civil or criminal liability unless actual malice is shown. Garrison v. Louisiana, 379 U.S. 64, 74, 13 L. Ed. 2d 125, 132 (1964). However, these principles only offer immunity from a civil suit for damages, not from other forms of discipline. Imbler v. Pachtman, 424 U.S. 409, 428-29, 47 L. Ed. 2d 128, 142 (1976). The First Amendment does not afford protection to the utterer for all statements made. See e.g. Spivey, 345 N.C. at 414-15, 480 S.E.2d at 698-99 ().

Irving contends that because it was inoperable, the gun was relevant only to show propensity, which is impermissible. Alternatively, Irving contends that any probative value was outweighed by its potential for unfair prejudice. The government argues that the gun, although inoperable, tended to show that Irving was willing and intended to execute the plan to kill Watson. In the present case, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in admitting the pistol into evidence. Irving's possession of the pistol tended to establish that he thought he was able to carry out the plan to kill Watson, and therefore that he intended to conspire to kill Watson and obstruct justice. See Coleman v. United States, 379 A.2d 710, 712 (D.C.1977) ().

Smith, 203 F.3d 1122, 1131 (9th Cir.2000) (en banc). We must determine whether there are genuine issues of material fact such that a trial is necessary, and whether the district court properly applied the substantive law. See id. While we must view the evidence in the light most favorable to the non-moving party, a mere scintilla of evidence or some “metaphysical doubt as to material facts” will not suffice to defeat summary judgment. See Brinson v. Linda Rose Joint Venture, 53 F.3d 1044, 1048 (9th Cir.1995). Finally, we have jurisdiction to review the district court’s denial of Scribner’s summary judgment motion as well as its grant of summary judgment to World-Com. See, e.g., Jones-Hamilton Co. v. Beazer Materials & Servs. Inc., 973 F.2d 688, 693-94 (9th Cir.1992) (). B.

We affirm the trial court’s order in all other respects without comment. Gary asserts that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to object to the jury instruction on attempted burglary, which Gary contends was “ambiguous, vague and unconstitutional.” Specifically, Gary asserts that the instruction combined an attempted burglary instruction with an attempt to commit a crime instruction and produced a hybrid instruction of attempt to commit attempted burglary. He contends that this hybrid instruction confused the jury and shifted the burden of persuasion onto him for some of the elements of the crime. We find this to be a facially sufficient claim for relief. See Yarbrough v. State, 599 So.2d 245 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992) (). The trial court denied' relief on the basis ### Response: holding appellant made facially sufficient claim of ineffective assistance of counsel where he asserted counsel failed to object to jury instructions which improperly combined elements of separate offenses " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: or bigamy, shall be deemed infamous, and shall forever thereafter be rendered incapable of holding any office of honor, trust, or profit, of voting at any election, of serving as a juror, and of giving testimony in this Territory.

The 1839 statute provides us with a limited window into some specific understanding of the meaning of “infamous crimefs]” of the day. Of course, like Iowa Code section 39.3(8) (2013) today, this statute is not a constitutional test. See Snyder, 958 N.E.2d at 780 (concluding an 1843 Indiana statute enumerating nine infamous crimes was not a present-day constitutional test); see also Green v. City of Cascade, 231 N.W.2d 882, 890 (Iowa 1975) ().

In applying the “functional-equivalence” concept to the offenses of burglary and trespass, this Court has previously held that a burglary indictment’s failure to plead that a defendant had notice that entry into a habitation was forbidden did not preclude him from being entitled to a lesser-included-offense instruction on criminal trespass.

Section § 16(b) defines as a crime of violence “any ... offense that is a felony and that, by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense.” 18 U.S.C. § 16(b) (emphasis added). Positing a hypothetical manner in which the unlawful imprisonment of a competent adult could be accomplished by deception and without the use of force thus does not necessarily exclude the unlawful imprisonment statute from the scope of § 16 — our inquiry under § 16(b) is broader and more flexible, and involves asking whether the crime is one that by its nature involves a substantial risk that force may be used.

We hold that in any case in which a competent ### Response: holding that a petitioners conviction for indecent assault and battery under massachusetts law constituted a crime of violence because any offense under the state statute was by definition nonconsensual and thus any violation of the statute by its nature presents a substantial risk that force may be used to overcome the victims lack of consent and accomplish the indecent touching " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: on the basis of Ms. Nicastro’s apparent or ratified authority fails. C. Defendant’s Termination of the CBA Defendant contends that even if the CBA is valid and enforceable, it was termi nated by Bentz’s failure to sign the renewal assent in 1994, or, in the alternative, by Bentz’s March 1996 letter to the Funds. We find Defendant’s argument to be without merit for two reasons. First, Bentz’s actions did not constitute termination of the CBA according to its explicit terms. Second, the Third Circuit only recognizes three distinct defenses to actions by benefit funds for e h “Evergreen Clauses” requiring written notice are not terminated absent compliance with the terms of the contract. See, e.g., Local 257, Int’l Bhd. of Elec. Workers v.

Illegal drug use in violation of the court’s order in this circumstance endangered DJ.W.’s emotional well-being because it increased the risk that his relationship with his biological mother would be permanently severed. See Walker, 312 S.W.3d at 617-18. Drug use that significantly impairs a parent’s ability care for a child jeopardizes the child’s physical and emotional well-being. We hold that the evidence in this case was legally sufficient to permit a reasonable factfinder to form a firm belief or conviction that the mother engaged in conduct that endangered D.J.W.’s physical or emotional well-being.

The cities which joined lost their authority to manage the library function and to make financial decisions regarding library affairs.” Ormond Beach claimed that allowing the county to assume library function in its city, where the city “has not requested the County to assume it and therefore a county tax on city property is improper.” Id. The Fifth District recognized that the trial court, in that case, correctly held that no transfer of powers occurred. Id.; see also Barms, 390 So.2d at 1189 (Fla.1980) ().

Appellant argues that he was denied due process because the hearing was postponed twice; he was found guilty of a disciplinary violation with which he was not charged in the incident report; and the evidence was insufficient to support a finding of guilt. The district court dismissed pursuant to Rules 1(b) and 4 of the Rules Governing Section 2254 Cases in the United States District Courts, on the ground that the petitioner failed to show how either conviction for a code violation not listed in the incident report or the eight day delay prejudiced him in his ability to defend the disciplinary charge.

While the amount respondent would receive and the appropriate evaluation criteria remained questions of fact, respondent’s right to the undetermined amount' vested as of July 1, 2002, the day after the expiration of the 2001- contract. Therefore, respondent’s 2001-2002 bonus was owing prior to his termination. As president of the company, respondent’s services contributed to appellant’s profitability, and appellant received the benefit of respondent’s work product. The record reflects that, in this instance, respondent’s bonus was nondiscretionary and actually earned at the time of his discharge. We note that other jurisdictions interpreting similar statutory language have reached the same conclusion. See Rohr v.

The State concedes that, under the circumstances of this case, in which the officer testified that there was no way of knowing what Defendant’s blood alcohol content was at the time of driving, a rational juror could not find beyond a reasonable doubt the facts necessary to raise the DWI to an aggravated level. We agree and therefore reverse and remand for entry of judgment for simple DWI unless one of Defendant’s other issues results in reversal. See State v. Cavanaugh, 116 N.M. 826, 829-30, 867 P.2d 1208, 1211-12 (Ct.App.1993) ().

Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984), qualifies as “clearly established federal law” under 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d). See Williams, 529 U.S. at 391, 120 S.Ct. 1495. Thus, if Petitioner can show that the Michigan courts adjudicated his failure to investigate claim in a manner contrary to Strickland, he is entitled to habeas relief. To be successful on an ineffective assistance of counsel claim, Strickland requires that two elements be proven. First, a petitioner must demonstrate that his attorney’s performance was deficient. Strickland, 466 U.S. at 687, 104 S.Ct. 2052; see also Combs v. Coyle, 205 F.3d 269, 278 (6th Cir.2000) ().

The Knievels interpret this provision to mean that they are entitled to a jury trial because they have a “special constitutional right in a libel and slander case in Montana” that guarantees them their “fair day in court.” But Montana’s highest court, which we are bound to follow, interprets the provision differently. The Montana Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed the ability of judges to dispose of defamation claims where there are no issues of fact warranting a jury trial. Hale v.

Second, Defendant argues that the Court should find the fee request unreasonable in light of the amount of attorneys’ fees Plaintiff requested in his settlement letter.

Inc., C C Texas Holding Co., Inc., Capital Cities/ABC, Inc., Henry Florsheim, and David Gwizdowski. The trial court granted the ap-pellees’ motion in this case for Rule 13 sanctions and struck appellants' claims in their Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amended Petitions against Jackson Walker and Bleisch, and dismissed those claims with prejudice. Thereafter, the trial court severed appellants’ claims against Jackson Walker and Bleisch into the “A” trial court cause number reflected above. That severance made the interlocutory judgment granting sanctions and dismissing claims final and appealable. See Martinez v. Humble Sand & Gravel, Inc., 875 S.W.2d 311, 312 (Tex.1994) ().

We rule here only that the power of the trial court to rescind an order of dismissal continues “at least” until entry of the order on the docket. That is all that is needed to dispose of this appeal. After formal entry of an order of any type, a trial court's jurisdiction over the matter and power to rescind or amend the order may be governed by application of this jurisdiction’s procedural rules and case law. See generally Clement v. District of Columbia Dep't of Human Servs., 629 A.2d 1215 (D.C. 1993). 7 . We note further that our decision today is in accord with the decisions of several other jurisdictions that have considered the present issue. See, e.g., Arizona v. Johnson, 113 Ariz. 506, 557 P.2d 1063, 1066 (1976) (en banc) () (quoting Belcher v.

In light of the South Carolina Constitution of 1895, I also join the majority in rejecting Petitioners’ separation of powers claim. I commend Justice Hearn for her excellent recitation of the importance of the separation of powers doctrine in our country’s founding. This Court’s jurisprudence often recognizes, in glowing terms, the sanctity of the separation of powers doctrine in our democratic republic. See State ex rel. McLeod v. McInnis, 278 S.C. 307, 312, 295 S.E.2d 633, 636 (1982) (observing that the separation of the branches of government “prevents the concentration of power in the hands of too few, and provides a system of checks and balances”); State ex rel. McLeod v. Yonce, 274 S.C. 81, 84, 261 S.E.2d 303, 305 (1979) (). Yet, as the majority articulates, “South ### Response: holding that under separation of powers the legislative department makes the laws the executive department carries the laws into effect and the judicial department interprets and declares the laws " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: claim is based on Eastus’s termination. The relationship of the FMLA and emotional distress claims, therefore, is similar to the relationship between the claims in the Na-bors case. For both claims in the instant ease, the single wrong is the termination, and the various claims are simply different theories of recovery. As a result, the FMLA claim and the intentional infliction of emotional distress claim are not “separate and independent claim[s] or cause[s] of action” under § 1441(e). Because § 1441(c) does not authorize the remand of state law claims unless they are separate and independent from the removed federal question claim, the district court abused its discretion by remanding this claim. See John G. & Marie Stella Kenedy Memorial Found. v. Mauro, 21 F.3d 667, 674 (5th Cir.) (), cert. denied, — U.S. -, 115 S.Ct. 577, 130 ### Response: holding that 1441c does not allow the remand of claims that are not separate and independent " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in whose name Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 17 requires an action to be brought, and the debtor no longer has standing to pursue that cause of action.

Wendy’s Int’l, Inc., 365 F.3d 1268, 1272 (11th Cir. 2004); Cain v. Hyatt, 101 B.R. 440, 442 (E.D.Pa.1989) (“[A]fter appointment of a trustee, a Chapter 7 debtor no longer has standing to pursue a cause of action which existed at the time the Chapter 7 petition was filed.

Although all four instances can be described as impolite, none changes Adam’s “wealth” or “career prospects.” And although they might be characterized as “humiliating” or “degrading,” Adam’s allegations fail to rise to the level that the Seventh Circuit has held is necessary to demonstrate a “significant negative alteration in the workplace.” See Breneisen v.

Instead Congress must have realized that the definition of “pattern of racketeering activity” would necessarily be interpreted in the context of the statute to which it applies (18 U.S.C. § 1962). Thus, the term “pattern”, when used in this context, applies to the relationship of the acts to the enterprises, and no more. The definition of “racketeering activity” in the section and the additional definition of “pattern of racketeering activity,” taken together, results in the conclusion that the “pattern” definition states a minimum but not necessarily an exclusive definition. A main focus of Title IX was the enterprise, not only the persons committing the acts, and Congress felt that the “pattern” would be supplied by this common fact (E.D.Pa. 1977) (). For purposes of deciding the present motion ### Response: holding that acceptance of four bribes over a two and onehalf year period from parents who wanted their children admitted to graduate school appeared to be a sufficient pattern to satisfy the statute " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the First Amendment framework. There is simply no support in the affidavits for a conclusion that Liotta’s disputes involved his freedoms of belief and association, or the related right to be free from the imposition of an unconstitutional condition on the receipt of a public benefit, the interests implicated under Elrod v. Burns. Accordingly, the affidavits did not raise a material issue of fact so as to preclude the granting of summary judgment. They certainly do not tend to establish that Liotta was discharged by reason of “partisan political affiliation,” the act interdicted for certain public employees in Elrod v. Burns. See Burns v. County of Cambria, 971 F.2d at 1021; Zold v. Township of Mantua, 935 F.2d at 635; cf. Sanguigni v. Pittsburgh Bd. of Public Ed., 968 F.2d at 401 ().

United States v. Talley, 431 F.3d 784, 788 (11th Cir.2005). We review for reasonableness under a deferential abuse-of-discretion standard, meaning that we “must first ensure that the district court committed no significant procedural error, such as failing to calculate (or improperly calculating) the Guidelines range, treating the Guidelines as mandatory, failing to consider the § 3553(a) factors, selecting a sentence based on clearly erroneous facts, or failing to adequately explain the chosen sentence — including an explanation for any deviation from the Guidelines range.” Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 128 S.Ct. 586, 597, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007); see also United States v. Livesay, 525 F.3d 1081, 1093 (11th Cir.2008) ().

Id. The State directs this Court to Clark v. State, 47 S.W.3d 211 (Tex.App.-Beaumont 2001, no pet.). We find Clark analogous to the instant case. In Clark, the trial court held a competency hearing in July of 1999, but the appellant argued that the court abused its discretion in failing to conduct a second competency hearing in November of 1999. Clark, 47 S.W.3d at 215-16. The court of appeals noted that, while the appellant’s behavior at the November 1999 pretrial hearing was “bizarre,” no new evidence was presented indicating a change in the appellant’s mental condition from the previous finding. Id. at 218, citing Miles v. State, 688 S.W.2d 219, 224 (Tex.App.-El Paso 1985, pet. refd) (); O’Neil v. State, 642 S.W.2d 259, 262 ### Response: holding that appellant must present some evidence of a subsequent change in competency or some new evidence in a manner analogous to newly discovered evidence in a motion for new trial to complain of a denial of a second competency hearing " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: after the fact, the conduct for which the defendant is accountable includes all conduct relevant to determining the offense level for the underlying offense that was known, or reasonably should have been known, by the defendant.” U.S.S.G. § 1B1.3, Application Note 10. Therefore, reading Application Note 10 in isolation would extend the reasonable-knowledge requirement to all conduct used to determine the sentence for the underlying offense, not only specific offense characteristics. Other circuits are split on how to resolve this apparent contradiction. Supporting Mrs. Lang’s position, the Fifth and Sixth Circuits allow a sentencing court to consider only those drug quantities of which the defendant knew or should have known. See United States v. Warters, 885 F.2d 1266 (5th Cir.1989) (); United States v. Shabazz, 263 F.3d 603 (6th ### Response: holding that a defendant can only be sentenced for misprision of felony based on drug quantities that he knew or should have known or foreseen were involved in the conspiracy " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: without legal citation or factual evidence does not suffice to create a disputed issue of fact as to whether Form 10 was the proper form for the spin-off. Indeed, the SEC had a factual basis for rejecting the Form 10 because there was a sale of a restricted security within two years. SeraNova’s prompt and lamb-like obeisance to the SEC’s decision to require a Form S-l is strong proof that the Form 10 was the wrong document. Moreover, SeraNova brought the same bulletin to the SEC’s attention on March 17, 2000, and the SEC responded that it disagreed with SeraNova’s interpretation of the bulletin. Thus, SeraNova is left with the tenuous argument that the SEC misinterpreted its own bulletin. Cf. Sec. and Exch. Comm’n v. Zandford, 535 U.S. 813, 122 S.Ct. 1899, 1903, 153 L.Ed.2d 1 (2002) ().

The further back in time a court goes to evaluate an employee’s performance, the more removed the evidence is from the time of the termination. As we explained in Lovelace v. Sherwin-Williams Co., 681 F.2d 230 (4th Cir.1982): The rationality, hence fairness, of this inference [of unlawful discrimination] obviously decreases as the time gap between last proven satisfactory performance and challenged employment action lengthens. Here, the time lag was almost two years. As common experience in such matters teaches, and as the full record reveals the case here to have been, a great deal can happen to alter things in such a time. Id. at 244. See also O’Connor v. Consolidated Coin Caterers Corp., 56 F.3d 542, 547 (4th Cir.1995) (), rev’d on other grounds, 517 U.S. 308, 116 ### Response: holding that a review of an employees 1989 performance was irrelevant to a determination of whether his performance was satisfactory at the time of his termination in august of 1990 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: found “not severe only if the evidence establishes a slight abnormality that has no more than a minimal effect on an individual’s ability to work.”) (quoting Smolen v. Chater, 80 F.3d 1273, 1290 (9th Cir.1996)). The ALJ made no specific findings regarding plaintiffs IQ. To meet the “B” criteria of section 12.05, plaintiff must have a valid verbal, performance, or full-scale IQ of 59 or below. Both Dr. Taylor, who administered the WAIS III that yielded a full-scale IQ of 58, and Dr. Soltz, the medical expert, indicated that those IQ test results were invalid due to suboptimal effort or malingering on plaintiffs part. Therefore, plaintiffs contention that he meets the “B” criteria of section 12.05 lacks merit. See Soto v. Sec’y of Health & Human Servs., 795 F.2d 219, 222 (1st Cir.1986) ().

Clearly, there was evidence of a physical occupation by the Government of the McKays’ property. In general, in the case of physical invasions, the Supreme Court has pointed out that “no matter how minute the intrusion, and no matter how weighty the public purpose behind it, we have required compensation.” Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 U.S. 1003, 1015, 112 S.Ct. 2886, 120 L.Ed.2d 798 (1992). Even when the physical intrusion occupied less than one and one half cubic feet of space on a landowner’s property, the Supreme Court has held that a taking was effected. See Loretto v. Teleprompter Manhattan CATV Corp., 458 U.S. 419, 425, 102 S.Ct. 3164, 73 L.Ed.2d 868 (1982) ().

The Court finds that the plaintiffs have pled ascertainable damages sufficiently to petition for relief under CUTPA. Another issue raised by Qwest is the plaintiffs’ failure to state a claim for negligent supervision under CUTPA where the consumers in the present case could have reasonably avoided any injury. Qwest claims the plaintiffs were liable for contributory negligence by not implementing a preferred carrier freeze under 47 C.F.R. § 64.1190 by simply calling their local phone company and requesting it. Qwest asserts that Connecticut case law disallows CUTPA claims when contributory negligence by the plaintiff is found. A-G Foods, Inc. v. Pepperidge Farm, Inc., 216 Conn. 200, 579 A.2d 69 (1990) (). The plaintiffs point out that the victim of ### Response: holding that there is no cutpa violation when the sole basis of the claim is the defendants negligence and the jury determines that the plaintiff was contributorily negligent " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and is not “connected with” or “directly related to” appellants’ sales to 3M and Worum. Lorix contends, however, that there must only be a “reasonably close connection” between the cause of action and the defendant’s contacts with the forum state to support a finding of specific jurisdiction. Lorix argues that the sale of rubber-processing chemicals to Minnesota corporations to manufacture products other than tires is sufficiently related to a suit alleging that downstream indirect purchasers paid a supracompetitive price for tires that contained those same rubber-processing chemicals. But for specific jurisdiction to exist, a plaintiff must show a more direct connection between his alleged injury and the defendant’s contacts with the forum state. See Marshall, 610 N.W.2d at 676 (); Behm v. John Nuveen & Co., 555 N.W.2d 301, ### Response: holding entering into a contract with a minnesota resident can justify the exercise of specific jurisdiction but only where the dispute involves the contract " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: or she has not been made a party by service of process.’ ” Cossio, 163 B.R. at 154 (quoting Mason v. Genisco Technology Corp., 960 F.2d 849, 851 (9th Cir.1992)). Other courts have also held that a default judgment is void and should be set aside if there has been no proper service of the complaint. E.g., Combs v. Nick Garin Trucking, 825 F.2d 437, 442 (D.C.Cir.1987); Gold Kist, Inc. v. Laurinburg Oil Co., Inc., 756 F.2d 14, 19 (3d Cir.1985). Because a court asserts in personam jurisdiction to adjudicate the rights of a party through service of process, an in personam judgment is void where the requirements for effective service have not been satisfied. Combs, 825 F.2d at 442; see also, e.g., Hospital Mortgage Group, Inc. v. Parque Indus. Rio Canas, Inc., 653 F.2d 54, 56 (1st Cir.1981) (); Central Operating Co. v.

Id. at 538. The Seventh Circuit agreed, holding that the plaintiff, “as the recipient of the defendants’ offer to modify her loan, ‘received an extension of credit’ and thus became an ‘applicant’ under 12 C.F.R. § 202.2(e).” Ibid. The court could not have concluded that the plaintiff was in fact an “applicant” under the ECOA without accepting § 202.2(e) as an authoritative interpretation of that statutory term. As for Moran Foods, Davis indicated that its discussion of the term “applicant” was dicta. See ibid, ().

Beyond this, the victim testified that she could not remember any more details at the time of trial. As pointed out by the State, this event would qualify as “a matter about which a witness once had knowledge, but now has insufficient recollection to enable the witness to testify fully and accurately.” § 90.803(5), Fla. Stat. (2008). Further, the victim identified the written statement as the statement she gave to police on the day of the crime, approximately one hour after the events took place, and testified that she told the police what happened when they came to her house.

See, e.g., Lakeside Boating & Bathing, Inc., 402 N.W.2d at 422. In Lyster, the court observed that it had “recognized the potential that substantial arbitration fees may make an arbitration agreement unconscionable.” See Lyster, 239 F.3d at 947 (citing Dobbins v. Hawk’s Enters., 198 F.3d 715, 717 (8th Cir.1999)). However, the court rejected the plaintiffs contention about the unconscionability of the cost and fees provision of the arbitration agreement at issue in that case, as follows: Lyster has not established on the record before us that undue harshness exists in the terms of the Agreement'in light of Missouri law governing unconscionability. See Green Tree Financial Corp.-Alabama v. Randolph, 531 U.S. 79, 90-92, 121 S.Ct. 513, 522, 148 L.Ed.2d 373 (2000) (). Lyster, 239 F.3d at 947.

A non-moving party cannot withstand summary judgment, however, by introduction of a “mere scintilla” of evidence in its favor. See Ciminillo, 434 F.3d at 464. Before this court, the plaintiff first argues that the finding of probable cause by the state judge at the preliminary-examination stage of the criminal proceedings should not affect the federal courts’ decisions regarding the merits of his claims of wrongful arrest and malicious prosecution. He does so even though each of those later claims contains, as an element, the lack of probable cause to pursue the particular action. See, e.g., Criss v. City of Kent, 867 F.2d 259, 262 (6th Cir.1988) (wrongful arrest) (); Sykes v.

As for the case at hand, we hold that under the facts known to the officers at the time of the search, the motor homes were being used as automobiles, or trucks, and that the standard of reasonableness that applies to such vehicles applies here. The use of a vehicle, not its shape, should control the standard that applies. As an analogy, the extent that there may be different Fourth Amendment standards for a home and a business would not depend upon whether the business was in a building that looked like a home. The difference in standards is based on the reduced expectation of privacy in a business. See Donovan v. Dewey, 452 U.S. 594, 598-99, 101 S.Ct. 2534, 2537-38, 69 L.Ed.2d 262 (1981) (); Katz v.

Second, even if a state’s highest court would not construe Plaintiffs’ claims as “product liability” claims, the claims were still properly dismissed if we predict that such courts would hold that the Brand Manufacturers do not owe users of generic drugs a duty that can give rise to liability.

Gray further adduced evidence that Denny’s internal policies recognized profane language as “work place violence.” She also submitted police reports of work place violence involving actual physical assaults occurring in the year preceding her assault.

Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 99 S.Ct. 1861, 60 L.Ed.2d 447 (1979). In that case, the Supreme Court of the United States considered whether a policy requiring pretrial detainees at a federal detention facility to expose their body cavities to visual inspection after contact visits with persons outside the institution was constitutional.

McFarlin’s, 789 F.2d at 101-102. All of the authorities cited by the Trustees for a contrary reading of sections 503(b) and 507(a) are from courts outside the Second Circuit or construe a different section of the Bankruptcy Code, section 507(a)(4).

As explained below, if the jury found, as it could, that Officer Wyatt was in the passenger seat of a slowly rolling vehicle, it could conclude that he did not face an immediate threat to safety sufficient to justify the immediate use of deadly force. Our decision simply identifies a disputed issue of material fact. If, as Chief Judge Kozinski's dissent bemoans, that gives plaintiffs ""a bludgeon with which to extort a hefty settlement,” id., it will only be because the defendants are concerned that a jury might not view the evidence as the dissent does. 3 . The constitutional standard for using force less than deadly force is lower. See Gregory v. County of Maui, 523 F.3d 1103, 1106-07 (9th Cir.2008) ().

Particularity The Blairs also argue that the federal search warrant was overbroad in that it lacked particularity as to the items to be seized. Because the Blairs failed to make this argument to the district court, it is waived. See United States v. Critton, 43 F.3d 1089, 1094 (6th Cir.1995) ().

We conclude that just as foregoing or exercising a right to jury trial can demonstrate objectively reasonable reliance, those who proceed to trial but forgo their right to appeal have suffered impermissible retroactive effects under IIRIRA § 304(b). Following the Supreme Court’s analysis in St. Cyr, the Third, Fourth, and Sixth Circuits have held that determining whether a statute has retroactive effects does not entail an inquiry into litigants’ actual subjective reliance on prior law, but rather, a review of what reasonable litigants would consider in a given situation. See, e.g., Olatunji, 387 F.3d at 396 (); Thaqi v. Jenifer, 377 F.3d 500, 504 n. 2 (6th ### Response: holding in the context of a non 212c iirira retroactivity challenge that if reliance were required we would insist at most upon objectively reasonable reliance and not subjective reliance " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in which we held that the BIA erred because it made “no pronouncement on the credibility of Dial-lo’s underlying testimony or of his explanations for the lack of additional corroborating evidence,” the IJ here made clear that he found Ebid’s testimony not credible because he knowingly relied on a fraudulent document that he did not reveal to be fraudulent until after a government investigation. We thus have no difficulty in reviewing the IJ’s determination with respect to Ebid’s credibility. Nor do we find error in the IJ’s dismissal of Ebid’s explanation that he submitted the fraudulent letter because a friend had told him that it was necessary to have corroboration. In contrast to circumstances in which an applicant uses a false document under duress, see, e.g., Lin, 445 F.3d at 132, (), this explanation does not undermine the IJ’s ### Response: holding that the use of a fraudulent document to escape persecution does not undermine a petitioners credibility in asylum proceedings " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: would not be applicable to him during the entire period w e facts is consistent with the text of the regulation, with precedent, and with the policy underlying the administration of the salary basis test of “avoiding] the imposition of massive and unanticipated overtime liability.” Auer, 519 U.S. at 461, 117 S.Ct. 905.

The NTSB correctly determined that it lacked jurisdiction over Daisey’s appeal of the FAA’s revocation and non-approval of check airman authority because check airmen serve under the Administrator’s delegated authority, which the Administrator may rescind “at any time for any reason.” 49 U.S.C. § 44702(d); cf.

We thus affirm the denial of relief. A. Cause Harris advances two reasons why there is cause for her trial counsel’s failure to raise the continuity of counsel claim. She first argues that the lack of continuity of counsel itself supplies cause to excuse the default. Although this may explain why some of her lawyers failed to raise the claim—that is, they held appointments only for a matter of days or weeks—ultimately her assertion begs the question why Bowen and Argo, who tried the case, failed to raise the claim during the months they represented Harris (Argo for about 12 and Bowen for about 6).

Specifically, the Berry court ruled that “we need not decide whether actual discovery or inquiry notice applies, because under either standard the Forbes article did not trigger the statute of limitations.” Id. at 704. This Court joins the circuits that have ruled upon the issue and finds that inquiry notice is the appropriate standard. See Carley Capital Group v.

No such allegations appear in the Blue Tree Owners’ complaint, however. Improper intent on the part of the vendors might be inferred from the Blue Tree Owners’ allegation that vendors who were unwilling or unable to make the vendor payments were precluded from competing for the Hotels’ business and, as a result, the Blue Tree Owners were unable to negotiate advantageous prices and terms with such vendors.

This argument ignores the district court’s finding that there was no evidence presented to show that defendants had any “actual knowledge of a substantial risk of harm.” Nor did plaintiffs present evidence showing that defendants could have reasonably foreseen that either Stevens or Lovick were likely to abuse the children. Plaintiffs’ failure to present such evidence means that they cannot satisfy the third prong of this test. Gloria and Terry remain entitled to immunity for the negligence claims brought against them in their official capacities. See Pennhurst State Sch. & Hosp. v.

The claim based on alleged evidence of three other possible suspects also fails on the merits.

Consistent with that testimony, Ellsworth testified that he advised Overton’s counsel about Hernandez as a suspect upon his receipt of the information. Moreover, the information was actually inculpatory rather than exculpatory. These statements from Hernandez would establish that he was at the murder scene whi reports is also insufficiently pled as Overton does not present any information as to what these pages included or how such would be exculpatory.

When you have reached your verdict, all of you in a body must return it into open court. There is, however, no discussion in the instructions of the effect of the jury failing to reach a unanimous verdict.

Although federal law does not determine whether an officer’s actions are discretionary for purposes of state law, nonetheless an examination of federal immunity law is instructive. Under federal law, the act in question must be discretionary as a prerequisite to an extension of qualified immunity. See Streetman v. Jordan, 918 F.2d 555, 556 (5th Cir.1990) (“Qualified immunity cloaks a police officer from personal liability for discretionary acts which do not violate well-established law.”). Thus, those cases in which a federal court extends immunity to a police officer, necessarily determine that the disputed actions are discretionary. See, e.g., Anderson v. Creighton, 483 U.S. 635, 641, 107 S.Ct. 3034, 3039-40, 97 L.Ed.2d 523 (1987) (); Swint v.

Congress never intended “to preempt state rules that proscribe conduct, or establish rights and obligations, independent of a labor contract.” Id. at 212, 105 S.Ct. at 1912; see, e.g., Paige v.

See S.Rep. No. 98-454, at 12 (1984), as reprinted in 1984 U.S.C.C.A.N. 4831, 4842. Under OSHA, in order for a plaintiff to establish that he was terminated in retaliation for filing a health or safety complaint, he must show that the “protected activity was a substantial reason for the action,” although it “need not be the sole consideration behind discharge.” 29 C.F.R. § 1977.6(b). In such circumstances, as under § 2114, the ultimate question is whether the discharge or other adverse action would have “taken place ‘but for’ engagement in protected activity.” Id.; see also Dole v.

Attached to her Answer and Counterclaim, Kristi appended an affidavit stating that she was not involved in an adulterous affair. On August 23, 1993, the family court conducted a hearing regarding temporary custody of the Culbertsons’ minor daughter. At the hearing, in response to Kristi’s affidavit which was before the court and which denied adultery, Benjamin offered Thomas’s affidavit, including transcripts of telephone conversations taped by Thomas that revealed Kristi’s adulterous activity. It appears that at the time of this submission, Benjamin was aware of the statute and the Fourth Circuit’s opinion in Pritchard v. Pritchard, 732 F.2d 372 (4th Cir.1984) ().

Acknowledging that its holding was against the weight of authority, the court held that ""[nonnegotiable, nontransferable certificates of deposit] are not instruments because they are not transferable in the ordinary course of business.” Id. at 39. However, the court made no factual finding as to whether in commercial practice such certificates are in fact transferred, but merely stated, ""I do not agree that the 'realities of business practice' need be consulted.” Id. at 38; see also Bank IV Topeka, N.A. v.

Although the lower court in the present case did not address this point in detail, the court did explain that the claim was denied because we have repeatedly rejected constitutional challenges to rule 4 — 3.5(d)(4).

Randolph v. Groscost, 195 Ariz. 423, 427, ¶ 13, 989 P.2d 751, 755 (1999); Long v. Napolitano, 203 Ariz. 247, 266, ¶ 70, 53 P.3d 172, 191 (App. 2002). The Rules have “the same effect and force as a law.” Goodman v. Superior Court, 136 Ariz. 201, 203, 665 P.2d 83, 85 (1983). Consequently, no reason appears, and neither the Cooperatives nor the Council suggest any, why we cannot similarly sever R14r-2-1611(A) from the Rules if the remaining regulatory framework is workable.

After McCleskey, however, this is precisely the “trap for the unwary pro se petitioner” of which Justice Blackmun warned. Since a prisoner has no right to counsel in habeas proceedings, see Coleman, — U.S. at -, 111 S.Ct. at 2566, the initial habeas petition is typically filed pro se, or at best with the assistance of jailhouse lawyers who are notoriously unreliable. The absence of a right to counsel in habeas proceedings means that lack of counsel does not constitute cause under the McCleskey rule for a pro se petitioner’s failure to raise a claim in his initial habeas petition. See, e.g., Rodriguez v. Maynard, 948 F.2d 684, 688 (10th Cir.1991) ().

Whether a particular expectation rises to the level of a vested right is not capable of precise definition. In recognizing the conclusory nature of the inquiry, this court has defined a vested right as an expectation that is so far perfected that it cannot be taken away by legislation. Sanelli v. Glenview State Bank, 108 Ill. 2d 1, 20 (1985). Although not capable of precise definition, a vested right is a complete and unconditional demand or exemption that may be equated with a property interest. See, e.g., Sepmeyer v. Holman, 162 Ill. 2d 249 (1994) (finding that expiration of a statute of limitations creates a vested right that is beyond legislative interference); Collin, 302 Ill. at 275 ().

The rationale underlying the “good cause” standard for nondispositive orders, namely that “the public has less of a need for access to court records attached only to non-dispositive motions because those documents are often unrelated, or only tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action,” does not apply to this case. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1179 (internal quotation marks omitted). Here, the parties seek to seal the entire record of the proceedings in the district court, including the court’s opinion. The district court properly invoked the “compelling reasons” standard in considering the sealing request. See Joy v. North, 692 F.2d 880, 894 (2d Cir.1982) ().

Contrary to Plaintiffs assertions, the Armored Car Carrier Act does not create a legal duty distinct from Defendant’s contract obligations. First, while Plaintiff cites to the Armored Car Carrier Act, it does not state what, if any, particular provision of the statute that Defendant violated. Plaintiff simply cites to the definitions section of the Act. Without an allegation that Defendant violated one or more provisions of the Armored Car Carrier Act’s provisions, Plaintiffs negligence claim must fail. See Motyka v. City of Amsterdam, 15 N.Y.2d 134, 139, 256 N.Y.S.2d 595, 204 N.E.2d 635 (1965) ().

Therefore, a reasonable fact-finder could easily conclude that at the time of her accident, Irene was en route to the place where she and her employer expected her to, and where she in fact would have done, work for MONY. While we have some doubt as to whether a reasonable insured would understand the policy language in light of New York caselaw interpreting similar statutory phrases, we believe such law also strongly favors the Plaintiff.

The Restatement defines the doctrine of promissory estoppel as follows: A promise which the promisor should reasonably expect to induce action of forbearance on the part of the promisee or a third person and which does induce such action or forbearance is binding if injustice can be avoided only by enforcement of the promise. The remedy granted for breach may be limited as justice requires. Restatement (Second) of Contracts § 90 (1979). The doctrine of promissory estoppel is used to enforce a promise where there is a lack of consideration and as such does not apply to the facts of this ease. See Hatfield v. Columbia Federal Savings Bank, 57 Wash.App..876, 790 P.2d 1258, 1263 (1990) ().

However, an employer is allowed to talk with employees and to communicate its position to them. Americare Pine Lodge Nursing & Rehab. Ctr. v. NLRB, 164 F.3d 867 (4th Cir.1999).

Thus, even if the Former Wife established need, the trial court abused its discretion in accepting and adopting the magistrate’s recommended order because there is no competent, substantial evidence to support the magistrate’s determination that the Former Husband has the ability to pay.

Indeed, if the Longliners’ position is carried to its logical conclusion, then any attempt by federal agencies to settle litigation involving a regulation would entail a return to the same rulemaking process by which the regulation was created — a proposition that contradicts the Supreme Court’s policy determination in another context.

Implicit in the Pickering test is a requirement that the public employer have taken some adverse employment action against the employee. See Koch v.

If the action taken by the employer in response to the employee's speech is inconsequential or has only speculative consequences, there can be no basis for a First Amendment claim.

Citing In re O-D-21 I. & N. Dec. 1079, 1083, 1998 WL 24904 (BIA 1998), the IJ determined that the forgery indicated a lack of credibility with respect to Ebid’s testimony in general and, in particular, with respect to the May 1999 incident. Ebid claims that the IJ erred in making an adverse credibility determination on the basis of the submission of one fraudulent document that Ebid explained was the result of a friend’s advice that he needed corroboration and the fact that he could not obtain one from his doctor in Egypt. We disagree. An asylum applicant’s knowing use of a fraudulent document that goes to the heart of his or her asylum claim, without sufficient explanation, can be substantial evidence to support an IJ’s decision.

The Florida Supreme Court previously held that the fraudulent concealment doctrine no longer existed, and that the only viable tolling doctrines were enumerated in Fla.

As such, there is no definitive law on this subject in Florida, and this Court will not create new law and hold that the doctrine does not apply. Cf. Major League Baseball v.

See California Hospitals Crossover Bad Debts Group Appeal PRRB Dec. No. 2000-D80 (2000 WL 33170706, *8). The must-bill policy has been consistently articulated in the final decisions of the Secretary addressing this issue. See, e.g., Hoag Mem. Hosp. Presbyterian Provider v.

Further, assuming, as did the District Court, that she established a causal connection between the decision to place her on medical leave and her prior lawsuits, she failed to present evidence showing that Boeing’s proffered legitimate nondiscriminatory reason for placing her on such leave—her inability to return to a job requiring the use of power tools, given her medical condition—was pretextual.

When Sergeant Witte asked how much methamphetamine was in the truck, Shoen responded “a little bit” without additional questioning from the officers. ¶ 14 Moreover, the officers did not attempt to intimidate Shoen into remaining at the storage unit. In fact, their advice was just the opposite: They recommended that he call someone to pick him up so he could leave. Shoen agreed to speak with the officers and appeared comfortable throughout the encounter; he willingly answered the officers’ questions and allowed them to look in his truck bed. See Paynter, 955 P.2d at 73 (deeming an encounter consensual because the defendant’s liberty was not restrained and his voluntary cooperation was elicited through non-coercive questioning); Thomas, 839 P.2d at 1178 (); Marujo, 192 P.3d at 1006 (noting that a ### Response: holding that an encounter was consensual where the defendant was comfortable during the encounter chose not to leave and acquiesced to the officers request to answer questions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: multiple glow plugs in the diesel engine system, leading to the clear conclusion that there are multiple “voltage signals.” As such, the intrinsic evidence makes clear to a person of ordinary skill in the art that “a voltage signals” should be construed as “voltage signals” in the context of the ’258 Patent whose claims are directed to vehicles with “one or more glow plugs.” See ’258 Patent 23:33-36. Defendants argue that because the ’258 Patent’s prosecution history does not “suggest whether the applicants intended ‘a voltage signals’ to be singular or plural,” this history dictates that the Court should not correct “a voltage signals.” However, a prosecution history that is silent on a claim term does not prevent a court from correcting a grammatical error.

Mr. Sapp’s overtime logs include notations with various iterations of this statement in response to his overtime requests throughout 2011 and 2012. See id, at 20-86. Furthermore, on December 16, 2011, the BOP sent Mr. Sapp a memorandum clarifying that, as previously advised, he was not to go past certain areas into the prison facility, that he was not to have any inmate contact, and that this action was taken based on the investigation. See D.E. 116-6. The record demonstrates that the BOP consistently cited the ongoing investigation and corresponding restrictions as the reason for denying his overtime requests. That Ms. Burke provided Mr. Sapp with a different or alternate reason does not itself show pretext. Cf. Holland v. Washington Homes, Inc., 487 F.3d 208, 216 (4th Cir. 2007) (); Fane v.

Dr. Williams could not simultaneously pursue a writ of review in the Superior Court when the District Court entered a TRO, which became a preliminary injunction, enjoining enforcement of V.I.B.M.E.’s decision to permanently revoke his license. The reason is that Rule 15(a)’s thirty-day limit only authorizes the Superior Court to consider a petition for writ of review brought by one who has been “aggrieved by the decision of an officer, board, commission, authority, or tribunal.” Cf. Hodge v. Bluebeard’s Castle, Inc., 392 Fed. Appx. 965, 977 (3d Cir. 2010) () (quoting Custer v.

Because the jury’s ambiguous answers are not findings of liability to each plaintiff, they cannot support a judgment. See W & F Transp., 208 S.W.3d at 47 (reversing trial court’s judgment and rendering take-nothing judgment for two defendants because verdict did not establish individual liability of either defendant); J & C Drilling Co. v.

Maurice Turner was listed as a potential witness in the State’s proposed voir dire, and the prosecutor acknowledged in his opening statement that the jury would hear from Mitchell’s alleged cohorts Antonio Corprew and Lewis “Man-Man” Cochran. In addition, the jury heard about Wali Henderson, the driver of the Hummer, an initial suspect in the shooting, and the jury also learned of Darnell Carter and Andre Chase, the two men who led police to the shotgun. Because it is within the scope of permissible closing argument for counsel to draw inferences from the evidence admitted at trial, which includes the ability to comment on an absence of such evidence, defense counsel’s closing argument was not improper.

Phifer, 463 Mass. 790, 979 N.E.2d 210, 216 (2012) (upheld search of recent call list). On the other hand, a smaller number of courts, including one circuit court, several state supreme courts, and several district courts, have now rejected the notion that the contents of a cell phone are susceptible to search upon arrest, particularly in circumstances where the phone has been removed from the arrestee’s person by the police.

See id.; 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(2). The BIA reasonably concluded that Lin failed to establish changed country conditions such that the time and number limits on his motion to reopen should be excused. See 8 U.S.C. § 1229a(c)(7)(C)(ii); 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(c)(3)(ii). We find no abuse of discretion in its determination that Lin failed to point to evidence in the record establishing that the Chinese government’s current treatment of pro-democracy activists differed from their treatment at the time of his merits hearing.

In the instant case, however, the trial court’s findings of fact reflected far more than the mere interference with defendant’s visitation rights, warranting the court’s intervention. As noted supra, the trial court characterized the child’s relationship with defendant, his father, as a good relationship and further found that the child looked forward to seeing defendant. The trial court’s findings indicate that the denial of defendant’s visitation was deceitful and more than simply an interference or frustration with his rights, as it encompassed a considerable period.

The first question to be addressed in that case is the question of “standing.” General principles will first be addressed. Standing is a threshold matter that, if absent, prevents this court from exercising jurisdiction. Arkansas Right to Life State Political Action Comm. v. Butler, 146 F.3d 558, 560 (8th Cir.1998). See Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Env’t, 523 U.S. 83, 118 S.Ct. 1003, 1012-13, 140 L.Ed.2d 210 (1998) ().

The fact that pre trial motions are pending, standing alone, does not necessarily toll the speedy trial clock indefinitely; the motions must require a hearing under § 3161(h)(1)(F) if indefinite tolling is to occur. See generally United States v. Johnson, 29 F.3d 940, 942-43 (5th Cir.1994) (providing an overview of the proper interplay between §§ 3161(h)(1)(F) and (J)). It appears that we have implicitly agreed with the several circuits that have consistently interpreted § 3161(h)(7) to provide that all defendants who are joined for trial generally fall within the speedy trial computation of the latest codefendant and that the excludable delay of one codefendant may be attributed to all defendants.

Again, we agree. Lewis cannot state a claim for detrimental reliance where, as here, the County erroneously issued the permit for a “commercial” outbuilding. The issuance of a permit was permissible only for an outbuilding, i.e., an accessory structure for secondary uses, like a garage or storage. Loretta Riggins-Hylton, planning director of the County’s planning and building department, deposed that a commercial building would not qualify as an outbuilding. Since the permit was mistakenly issued, Lewis did not have a vested right to complete the construction of his building. Enviro Pro v. Emanuel County, 265 Ga. App. 309, 312 (593 SE2d 673) (2004) ().

But to use Zimride, Plaintiff necessarily had to agree with Zimride’s TOS and Privacy Policy, which clearly state that such information may, in fact, be disclosed. Because Plaintiffs claim necessarily depends on the application of Zimride’s policies — which relate directly to the issue of consent — the Court finds that these documents may appropriately be considered on a motion to dismiss.

Urging that the term “repair” should not be interpreted narrowly to only cover physical repairs, Campbell states that “repair” should contemplate making the insured whole. Alternatively, Campbell argues that the language of the insurance policy is ambiguous. Campbell relies on a number of other states’ cases addressing first-party contract claims, wherein the courts have concluded |isthat coverage for diminished value is required either because of the plain meaning of the policy language or based on a finding that the language is ambiguous. Among the cases that Campbell cites are: MFA Ins. Co. v. Citizens National Bank of Hope, 260 Ark. 849, 545 S.W.2d 70 (1977), (); Delledonne v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins.

Moreover, defendant argues, the trial court’s determination that the cas f that the case be at issue or in default by October 15.

INS, 321 F.3d 889, 897 (9th Cir.2003) (). Cruz’s remaining contentions lack merit. ### Response: holding that this court recognizes equitable tolling on motions to reopen during periods when a petitioner is prevented from filing because of deception fraud or error as long as the petitioner acts with due diligence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: present at the scene of a recently committed crime may be permissible without violating the Fourth Amendment. Such a stop is especially deemed permissible where only a limited number of persons are present at the scene of a violent crime. Wold v. State, 430 N.W.2d 171, 175 (Minn.1988). We agree with this reasoning. Professor LaFave, in his discussion of allowing police to “freeze” a situation, certainly does not condone a “dragnet approach,” which results “in the temporary seizure of a large number of persons within the range of [a suspect’s] possible flight.” 4 LaFave, supra, § 9.4(g), at 195. But rather in this context, “selective investigative procedures” are necessary “whereby seizures are made only of those as to whom there exists a ‘reasonable possibi 7 S.W.2d 919, 920-21 (1985) ().

See Lorelei Corp. v. County of Guadalupe, 940 F.2d 717, 719 (1st Cir.1991) (""[Sjufficient contacts exist whenever the defendant is served within the sovereign territory of the United States.”). If that is the case, proper service according to § 1132(e)(2) will always establish personal jurisdiction, because the defendant must be in the United States to be properly served under § 1132(e)(2). See Reimer Express, 230 F.3d at 941 (""The RICO and ERISA service of process provisions state that service may be made in 'any district,’ which indicates that Congress authorized service only in the judicial districts of the United States and not world-wide.”); see also Stauffacher v.

There is no showing, furthermore, that evaluation of the bankruptcy court’s decision at this time would lead to a more rapid resolution of the case, in part because the decision does not appear to be either manifestly correct or manifestly incorrect. The 2005 amendment to the C.P.L.R. is plausibly remedial within the meaning of McKinney’s Statutes § 54. See In re Little, No. 05-68281, at *21-22. Moreover, it is unlikely that the retroactive application of New York’s homestead exemption would violate the Contracts Clause. Cf. In re Seltzer, 104 F.3d 234, 235-37 (9th Cir.1996) (). In sum, we think that prior consideration by ### Response: holding that the retroactive application of a nevada exemption did not violate the contracts clause " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: during the relevant time period amounted to just 0.236% of its total annual sales, they are de minimis and are insufficient to support an exercise Florida’s jurisdiction. In the instant case, A & V and Quem acted as brokers for Vos’ sale of chemicals to buyers in South America and the Caribbean. Vos did not ship a single ounce of chemicals into Florida, or through any of Florida’s ports. In TRW, strikingly similar percentages were involved; however, in that case, the defendants shipped actual goods to addresses in this state. Therefore, the connection between Vos and Florida is even more attenuated than the connection at issue in TRW, which lends further support to this Court’s conclusion. Finally, we address the evidence found by the trial court to b So.2d 657, 659 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002) ().

Possick, 849 F.2d 332, 336 (8th Cir.1988). Here, the evidence was sufficient to show that appellant organized, supervised, or managed Thaxton, Scott, Majors, Singleton, and Duncan. The evidence established that appellant employed Thaxton as a bodyguard during appellant’s crack-selling activities at the College Street crack house. Thaxton spent six or seven hours a day at that house working with and protecting appellant. His primary job was to look out for appellant, “physically and with a little artillery if need be.” As appellant’s bodyguard, Thaxton was clearly appellant’s subordinate and subject to his supervision.

In Briggs, supra, the Fifth Circuit stated that a telephone conversation is a “wire communication” as that term is defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2510(1). Briggs, 630 F.2d at 417. Such communications are protected against interception by electronic, mechanical, or other devices regardless of the speaker’s expectation of privacy. See id. at 417 n. 4; see also United States v.

The plaintiffs cite one state trial court decision rejecting the damages caps of Fla.

Although the court has considered the trial court’s ruling in Cavanaugh, it respectfully declines to follow it, as the court’s analysis focuses on an isolated phrase in the provision rather than on the language of the section as a whole. The court also notes it is not bound by the Cavanaugh decision. See Bravo v. United States, 577 F.3d at 1326 ().

Because the defendant elected to absent himself from the jurisdiction during the period of appeal, he forfeited the right to appellate review. See Molinaro v.

Further, there was no evidence that Myrick put the place to private use (there was no testimony that personal items were kept at the property), and nothing suggests a claim of privacy in this context is consistent with historical notions of privacy.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has explained: To receive a new trial based on newly discovered evidence, the defendant must demonstrate that the evidence (1) came to their knowledge only after trial; (2) could not have been discovered sooner had due diligence been exercised; (3) is material and not merely impeaching or cumulative; and (4) would probably lead to an acquittal in the event of a retrial. Woolfolk, 197 F.3d at 905.

In other words, the provision merely limits an historic district commission’s jurisdiction over structures (and portions thereof) not in public view. Thus, we conclude that the terms “structure” and “exterior architectural feature” are not to be narrowly construed in the way the newspapers contend. In a similar vein, the newspapers see guidance in some of our other cases defining the term “structure,” citing Williams v. Inspector of Bldgs. of Belmont, 341 Mass. 188 (1960), and Millbury v. Galligon, 371 Mass. 737 (1977). The newspapers draw from these cases that the term “structure” should be read akin to “building,” and therefore should not encompass a newsrack.

The Court stated: It is hardly useful any longer to try to deal with this problem in terms of whether the parolee's liberty is a ""right” or a ""privilege.” By whatever name, the liberty is valuable and must be seen as within the protection of the Fourteenth Amendment. Id. 4 . Our ultimate resolution of this case does not render the conditions of a parole agreement unenforceable. The State may ordinarily impose any reasonable condition on the grant of parole. Cf.

And the failures of supervision created a more general risk of wrongdoing in the office subject to Collins’s supervision. Thus, consideration of the four factors does not really help Collins’s cause. We note that Collins cites only two cases in which courts have set aside a fine for violating the Eighth Amendment, both featuring extremely large penalties contrasted with minimal harm.

Mackay has provided no direct evidence that he would not have pleaded guilty if he had known that his sentence was not limited in this manner by his plea. Rather, the evidence in the record supports the contrary conclusion. The language of the plea agreement is clear that no representations or promises were made as to the sentence to be imposed. Additionally, he was admonished at rearraignment that sentence could be imposed from ten years to life imprisonment, and he responded negatively to the court’s specific inquiry whether anyone had made promises to him as to the sentence that would be imposed.

Whether the party asserting the claim was allowed to introduce specific evidence in support of that claim is an entirely different question, unrelated to deciding whether the same basic legal and factual matters were at issue in both cases. 3. Identity of parties The final element of claim preclusion is established by the fact that the parties to both suits are identical. Plaintiffs are the same and Hass is in privity with defendant AgriBank, his employer and principal. See Great Lakes Trucking Co., Inc. v.

See Wehr v. Burroughs Corp., 619 F.2d 276, 285 (3d Cir.1980). The court in Wehr relied on a theory that a court has discretion to award costs which are not specifically allowed by statute pursuant to Rule 54 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Wehr can no longer be considered good law on this point, however, in light of the Supreme Court’s most recent pronouncements in Crawford Fitting and West Virginia Hospitals. The Supreme Court rejected the reasoning in Wehr and held that a court may only asses those costs which are specifically outlined in § 1920. Crawford Fitting, 482 U.S. at 441; West Virginia Hosps., 499 U.S. at 93; see also Neyer, Tiseo & Hindo, Ltd. v. Russell, No 92-2983, 1994 WL 158917 (E.D.Pa. Apr.29, 1994) ().

We stated: We recognize that some courts have spoken of the “last overt act” of a civil rights conspiracy as the time from which the statute begins to run, but do not believe those courts meant to depart from the traditional rule in civil conspiracies that the mere fact of a conspiracy does not toll the statute of limitations with respect to earlier clear-cut violations of rights that have not been concealed from the plaintiff. Id. at 404 n. 1 (citation omitted). As the appellants do not suggest that the violations that transpired in the course of this alleged conspiracy (such as the excessive use of force and the false arrest) were concealed from them, Hernandez Jimenez controls.

Although it “protects from judgment,” immunity from liability “is not jurisdictional.” Harris County Hosp. Disk, 283 S.W.3d at 842. Assuming without deciding that Jesus properly asserted this affirmative defense at trial, asserting an affirmative defense does not convert it into a jurisdictional issue. Even assuming it was error for the trial court to determine that section 216.106 did not apply to Jesus and to enter a judgment against him, these were not jurisdictional errors. Because Jesus did not raise his affirmative defense of immunity from liability on appeal and because the issue is not jurisdictional, we cannot reach the merits of this argument and it cannot be a basis for reversing the trial court’s judgment.

The defendants dispute the plaintiffs’ standing to raise a facial challenge, but argue that the plaintiffs’ claims fail in any event. As discussed below, we conclude that section 14-107 was constitutionally applied to the plaintiffs despite reservations about the constitutionality of the statute were it subject to a facial vagueness challenge. The central question presented by this appeal therefore is whether the plaintiffs are permitted to bring their void-for-vagueness challenge facially. We conclude that they are not. A. Facial and As-Applied Vagueness Challenges Facial challenges are generally disfavored. See, e.g., Wash. State Grange v. Wash.

Before the enactment of section 300-x26, Congress did not regulate the sale of tobacco to minors. Since the field was legislatively unoccupied by the federal government, the states retained the power to so regulate. Section 300x-26(a)(1), by its very terms, does not indicate any preemption of the states’ power. Rather, it indicates that Congress did not want to itself impose an age restriction on the sale and distribution of tobacco, but rather wanted the states to continue to regulate in this field. Cf. Campbell v. Hussey, 368 U.S. 297, 82 S.Ct. 327, 7 L.Ed.2d 299 (1961) ().

The five elements of the offense of open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior appear in Instruction 5.42 of the Model Jury Instructions for Use in the District Court (1988). While G. L. c. 272, § 16, does not itself define “open and gross lewdness and lascivious behavior,” these five elements were generated by our case law. See, e.g., Commonwealth v. Fitta, 391 Mass. 394, 396 (1984) (defendant’s act must be committed “in such a way as to produce alarm or shock”); Commonwealth v. Adams, 389 Mass. 265, 271-272 (1983) (); Commonwealth v.

Pursuant to our certification statute and in the exercise of our discretion, we now choose to answer these four certified questions. See Iowa Code § 684A.1 (stating we may answer a certified question where (1) it was certified by a proper court; (2) is a question of Iowa law; (3) “may be determinative of the cause ... pending in the certifying court”; and (4) it appears to the certifying court that there is no controlling Iowa precedent).

The district court unequivocally ruled that the gambling laws of all fifty states would have to be applied: ""In order to eliminate any confusion, I now conclude that the laws of each state from which a call was made ... will be used to evaluate the gambling claims in this litigation.” Appellant AT&T agrees with the district court's determination on choice of law; its only content Cir.1986) (); see also Harbor Tug & Barge, Inc, v.

See No. 7:16CV00197 Compl. ¶ 20; No. 7:16CV00198 Compl. ¶22. Although the plaintiffs note that the installation of such devices is prohibited by the Clean Air Act, they assert that the operation of motor vehicles containing such devices is prohibited by Virginia law, namely the statutory and regulatory provisions cited above. Thus, to the extent the plaintiffs’ claims for equitable relief are based on the assertion that their vehicles are illegal to operate in Virginia, their claims could rise or fall entirely based on the interpretation of state law. As the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has recognized, “a plaintiffs right to relief for a given claim necess 670, 2016 WL 3067686 (D. N.J. May 19, 2016) ().

First, he asserts that the ALJ improperly failed to consider Plaintiffs subjective complaints of pain. The Second Circuit has held that “the subjective element of pain is an important factor to be considered in determining disability.” Mimms v. Heckler (2d Cir.1984) 750 F.2d 180, 185. However, the Second Circuit has also held that “[t]he ALJ has discretion to evaluate the credibility of a claimant and to arrive at an independent judgment, in light of medical findings and other evidence, re garding the true extent of the pain alleged by the claimant.” Marcus v. Califano (2d Cir.1979) 615 F.2d 23, 27. See also Jordan v. Barnhart (2d Cir.2002) 29 Fed.Appx. 790, 794 (). “If the Secretaries findings are supported by ### Response: holding that an alj is entitled to make a credibility determination regarding the claimants subjective complaints after specifically addressing these complaints and reviewing the medical evidence in the record " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 95, 101, 103 S.Ct. 1660, 75 L.Ed.2d 675 (1983). To satisfy this requirement, the party must show, among other things, that he “has sustained or is immediately in danger of sustaining some direct injury” and that “the injury or threat of injury [is] both real and immediate, not conjectural or hypothetical.” Id. at 101-02, 103 S.Ct. 1660 (quotations omitted). Here, although Yanke’s home has not yet been searched, he has been assessed a surcharge of $100 per month since July 2003 because he has failed to comply with the Ordinance’s inspection requirement. The Court finds, therefore, that Yanke’s injury is concrete and immediate. Accordingly, Yanke has standing to bring a claim under the Fourth Amendment. Cf. Columbia Basin Apartment Ass’n v. City of Pasco, 268 F.3d 791, 797 (9th Cir.2001) ().

However, these arguments are irrelevant to her workers’ compensation claim. If she wanted to pursue these arguments, she should have appealed her termination, as she had every right to do for a fee of $100. Because Mitchell knowingly failed to avail herself of that right, the agency’s stated reason for terminating her—which is entirely understandable and reasonable on its face—should not be subject to question. See Wright v. White, 693 So.2d 898, 902 (Miss.1997) (“[F]or state law purposes the statutory method of administrative appeal and judicial review provided by the state civil service statute is the exclusive remedy for grievances related to state employment....""); see also Miss.

The district court held claim 10 invalid under 35 U.S.C. § 112(d) of the America Invents Act (""AIA”). See Multilayer v. Inteplast, 2013 WL 5972195, at *40. 35 U.S.C. § 112(d) replaced the earlier (pre-AIA) 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 4 when § 4(c) of the America Invents Act (""AIA”), Pub.L. No. 112-29, took effect on September 16, 2012. 125 Stat. 284, 296, 297 (2011). Because the '055 patent was filed in 1999, long before this effective date, pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. § 112 ¶ 4 in fact controls. The district court’s error is harmless, as the AIA did not alter the substance of this provision. 9 .

Because Schubert knew or should have known at the time of his original filing the facts and theories upon which he based his late proposal for amendment, the district court did not abuse its discretion when it denied Schubert leave to amend his petition to add a new Fifth Amendment claim.

If the plea agreement “does not indicate the parties’ intent to base the term of imprisonment on a particular Guidelines range subsequently lowered by the Commission, then § 3582(c)(2) simply does not apply.” Id. at 2699, fn. 5. It is Justice Sotomayor’s concurring opinion in Freeman that is controlling and represents the holding of the Court. See United States v. Thompson, 682 F.3d 285, 290 (3rd Cir.2012) (“We therefore conclude, as has every other circuit to consider the question, that, because Justice Sotomayor’s opinion [in Freeman ] is narrower than Justice Kennedy’s, it expresses the holding of the Court.” (citations omitted)).

The Government cites no authority for its suggestion that a partial taking is assumed to affect the entirety of a condemnee’s tract on a uniform basis. To the contrary, such a notion seems artificial, particularly where, as here, the land taken is relatively small in area and fronts on a roadway while the remainder is sufficiently large that portions might have different characteristics relative to value and the taking might be expected to have less impact on more distant areas. Cf. United States v. 478.34 Acres of Land, Tract No. 400, 578 F.2d 156, 159 (6th Cir.1978) ().

The statute’s purpose of protecting employees whose benefits are threatened by their pension plan’s financial instability is best farthered by placing the functions most vital to participants’ well-being, interpreting the plan and determining benefits, with a fiduciary that is bound to act in their best interests. Taken together, the provisions of Title IV establish that, when PBGC is appointed a plan’s trustee following a decree of termination, it is subject to a fiduciary duty in all actions except those involving the function, statutorily reserved to the agency, of calculating the amount of benefits that are guaranteed under § 1322.

There is sufficient evidence in the record of this case to enable a jury to make that determination. In addition, in establishing proximate cause for wrongful birth, plaintiffs must show that the resulting birth defect was reasonably foreseeable, that is, not too remote in relation to defendants’ negligence, and that had defendants not been negligent, the pregnancy would have been terminated. See, e.g., Berman, supra, 80 N.J. at 426, 404 A.2d 8 (imposing liability for wrongful birth on premise that proximate cause was met where plaintiff, once notified that her child, if born, would have been afflicted with Down’s Syndrome, would have terminated pregnancy); Haymon v.

The legislature’s decision to lower the employee threshold from twelve to six to four, but not to one, indicates the lack of unanimous opinion that every employee should be protected from sex discrimination as Employee asserts. The legislature has had the opportunity to argue the merits of exempting small employers from compliance and to decide exactly where it should establish the threshold. It explicitly chose not to extend the protections against discrimination to employees of small employers. The wisdom of this decision is not before us. Where the legislature has spoken, we will not interpret statutory provisions to advance matters of public interest. See Geary, 319 A.2d at 176 ().

Therefore, differences in the timing of distributions and other procedural variations that have a legitimate basis do not generally violate § 1123(a)(4) unless they produce a substantive difference in a claimant’s opportunity to recover.

Moreover, the capital infrastructure for collecting the tolls has been dismantled, hardly the behavior of a defendant that intended to return to its old ways upon dismissal of a case. In short, we have little cause to believe that the legislature repealed the tolls in order to immunize its actions from judicial review, and the voluntary cessation exception does not apply to save the mooted claims. B. Restitution Strictly speaking, the Town’s restitution claim may not be moot, unlike its claims for injunctive or declaratory relief. It is settled law that a claim for monetary relief, including restitution, may survive events that moot injunctive or declaratory relief. See N.L.R.B. v. Me. Caterers, Inc., 732 F.2d 689, 691 (1st Cir.1984) (); see also Demelo v. U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n, 727 ### Response: holding that claim for cost reimbursement and making employees whole is not moot despite the defendant having ceased the challenged practice " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the subfreights prevented, as a matter of law, INB from validly receiving the subfreight fund, and that therefore the transfer of funds from POSCO could not have extinguished Cornish’s lien because it did not constitute legal payment of the subfreights to the charterer or its agent. Under our holding above, Cornish’s lien did not attach to the specific funds transferred by POSCO to INB; at the same time, this transfer was ineffective to extinguish Cornish's lien on POSCO's debt for subfreights. We note, in addition, that plaintiffs' argument incorrectly assumes that a Rule C arrest warrant is effective against property that comes into the possession of a garnishee after service of the warrant. See Reibor International Ltd. v. Cargo Carriers (KACZ-CO.)

Thus, we may affirm the trial court's denial of the Association's motion for summary judgment if it sustainable on either basis. We conclude that the denial of the Asso-clation's motion for summary judgment if it is sustainable on the basis of laches. After the Association filed its motion for summary judgment, McGlothin responded by arguing, in part, that the Association lost the right to injunctive relief through ""waiver, lashes [sic], or similar conduct."" Appellant's Appendix at 76.

The officer agreed that there was “nothing in Dispatch ... to imply that this may be a dangerous situation.” Id. Here, as in Hughes, there was no disturbance call or suspicious activity reported. The similarities end there, however. Before being ordered to stop, Mr. Charles raced up a flight of stairs. He then ran into an officer, and attempted to break the officer’s hold, pulling him down several steps at the same time. It is also a relevant consideration, though not necessarily dispositive, that the officers, upon arrival, encountered Mr. Charles along with several others at the apartment building, late at night, and in' a high-crime area. See Adams v. Williams, 407 U.S. 143, 147-48, 92 S.Ct. 1921, 32 L.Ed.2d 612 (1972) ().

Thus, this circumstance of Adler and Fred Lind Manor’s transaction does not support Adler’s claim of procedural unconscionability. 126 Nevertheless, we have cautioned that these factors should “not be applied mechanically without regard to whether in truth a meaningful choice existed.” Nelson, 127 Wn.2d at 131. Although Fred Lind Manor appears to have provided Adler with a reasonable opportunity to understand the terms of the agreement, and the important terms were not hidden, Adler and Fred Lind Manor offer remarkably different versions of the facts pertaining to the manner in which the contract was entered into. Cf. Luna, 236 F. Supp. 2d at 1177 (). Consequently, we cannot make a determination ### Response: holding that the plaintiff had failed to establish procedural unconscionability since he had a reasonable opportunity to consider the agreement and the arbitration clause was clearly set forth in the contract " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: connection test” of Rule 701 requires that the opinion or inference is one that a normal person would form on the basis of the observed facts.

State, 323 Ark. 529, 549, 915 S.W.2d 284, 295 (1996). We cannot say that the court abused its discretion in permitting Dr. Doland to testify without first requiring DHS to qualify her as an expert witness. In our view, Dr. Doland’s opinion that someone would have more extensive burns if they fell into a bathtub of scalding water is an opinion that a normal person could form on the basis of the observed facts. See Carton, 303 Ark. at 572, 798 S.W.2d at 676 (). Moreover, appellant cross-examined Dr. Doland ### Response: holding that opinion that fuel oil on her shoes caused her to fall is one which a normal person would form on the basis of observed facts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and crashing. Id. at 1327. The court determined the persons to be stopped in the vehicle were “stopped by the very instrumentality set in motion ... to achieve that result,” when an officer fired his weapon to stop the passenger and driver, and one of those bullets struck the passenger. Id. at 1329. But, unlike Vaughan, a significant difference exists here because the instrumentality meant to stop Mr. Brooks — the bullet from Deputy Gaenzle’s gun — did not stop him, and therefore, the intended result was not achieved. We are not alone in interpreting Supreme Court precedent as requiring intentional termination of movement or acquisition of physical control in flight situations, regardless of the force applied. See, e.g., United States v. Bradley, 196 F.3d 762, 768 (7th Cir.1999) (); United States v.

It is the State’s contention that the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure rather than the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, controls the disposition of appellant’s first point of error. At the time of appellant’s guilty plea, Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 40.09 controlled the appellate process as to the record on appeal and therefore, the State contends, it should be followed in this appeal. The State asserts that Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 40.09 limits the appellate record to all matters developed at the trial, thereby precluding testimony from the evidentiary hearing ordered by the Court of Criminal Appeals pursuant to appellant’s petition for writ of habeas corpus. See Farris v. State, 712 S.W.2d 512, 515 (Tex.Crim.App.1986) (). We disagree with the State’s assertion that ### Response: holding under code of criminal procedure record refers to all matters developed at trial " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: may recover twice or more for some elements of damages— one from the tortfeasor who caused the harm and again from any source of benefits collateral to the tortfeasor.

Further, the district court admonished jurors to answer these two questions with a simple “yes or no.” It did not attempt to target the holdout jurors or to determine which way the votes fell. If anything, the district court was attempting to avoid this effect. Also, there were no further instructions or lectures from the judge, and despite defense counsel’s own suggestion, the judge did not place a time limit on deliberations. See State v. Nelson, 63 N.M. 428, 433, 321 P.2d 202, 205 (1958) (pointing out that the district court’s repeated reminders of what jurors said on voir dire regarding death penalty was coercive on the one holdout juror); see also Pirch v.

In Radka, the defendant was told he was under arrest and placed in the patrol car, but without handcuffs. He was allowed to make numerous cell phone calls while he remained in the car. The court concluded that such circumstances would lead a reasonable detainee to believe that he was not under custodial arrest. Id. at 50. Consequently, although the officer had probable cause for a custodial arrest of the defendant, the lack of actual custodial arrest rendered the subsequent search of Radka’s car unconstitutional.

The Kiedrowski decision acknowledged that a non-habitual felony offender sentence could be made to run consecutively to a habitual felony offender sentence for felony offenses arising out of the same criminal episode, but held that such sentences violate Hale where, when combined, their length exceeds the maximum the defendant could have received under the habitual offender statute. See Kiedrowski, 876 So.2d at 694 (“Davis is silent as to whether the combined sentence of imprisonment and probation exceeded the statutory maximum allowed under the habitual felony offender statute.

Accepting, for the moment, that these remarks are indicative of racially discriminatory views, Newman necessarily must have made them before Johnson’s transfer to Wheelersburg in January of 1995, or nearly two years before Johnson was terminated in November of 1996.

If the answer is that they do not — which appears to be the case — the court and the parties should never reach the merits of a particular decision, particularly where the determination of the nature of that decision requires the development of a record. Plaintiff's claim also ignores the fact that prudential standing is determined on a wholesale basis, with the court called upon to determine whether categories of claimants were intended to be conferred rights under a particular statute. 22 .

The bond does not require the DLC itself to have actual, physical possession of the sales contract.

Bruggeman, 138 N.C. App. at 617, 532 S.E.2d at 219. These factors are not to be applied mechanically, but rather, the court must weigh the factors and determine what is fair and reasonable to both parties. Phoenix Am. Corp. v. Brissey, 46 N.C. App. 527, 531, 265 S.E.2d 476, 479 (1980). See also B.F. Goodrich Co. v. Tire King of Greensboro, Inc., 80 N.C. App. 129, 132, 341 S.E.2d 65, 67 (1986) (). Here, the precise quantity of contacts is not ### Response: holding that no single factor controls and that all factors must be weighed in light of fundamental fairness and the circumstances of the case " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: statute of limitations for actions against the United States set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 2401(a). Based on our review of Punchard’s complaint, we find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision to dismiss any other claims that may be set forth in the complaint for failure to comply with Rule 8’s short and plain statement requirements. Punchard’s argument that the district court judge had no power to grant the motion to dismiss because Punehard asked for a jury trial has no merit. Actions against the United States generally are tried to the court, not a jury. See 28 U.S.C. § 2402. In any event, a district court has the authority to hear and decide defenses raised under Rule 12(b) prior to trial, see Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(d); Christensen v. Ward, 916 F.2d 1462, 1466 (10th Cir. 1990) (); Rosemound Sand & Gravel Co. v.

Garcia, 882 F.2d 699, 702-03 (2d Cir.1989) (noting wide variety of courts have upheld anticipatory warrants when sure course requirement was met). As one court has explained: The sure course standard functions as a proxy for the actual presence of the contraband at the locus to be searched. It offers the magistrate a trustworthy assurance that the contraband, though not yet on the site, will almost certainly be located there at the time of the search, thus fulfilling the requirement of future probable cause. Ricciardelli, 998 F.2d at 13; see also United States v. Hendriclcs, 743 F.2d 653, 654-55 (9th Cir.1984) (). The ""sure course” requirement is typically ### Response: holding anticipatory warrant was invalid for lack of probable cause because at time warrant was issued the contraband was not on a sure course to the place to be searched and there was no assurance defendant would take contraband to that place " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: at least one district court to conclude that the Eleventh Circuit no longer strictly requires proof of bad faith as an essential element of spoliation. See Brown v. Chertoff, 563 F.Supp.2d 1372, 1381 (S.D.Ga.2008). Other district courts have rejected this interpretation of Flury. See Managed Care Solutions, Inc. v. Essent Healthcare, Inc., 736 F.Supp.2d 1317, 1328 n. 16 (S.D.Fla.2010); Woodard v. Wal-Mart Stores East LP, 801 F.Supp.2d 1363, 1372 (M.D.Ga.2011). While the degree of bad faith necessary to impose sanctions may not be entirely clear, it is clear that simple negligence is not enough but actual malice is not required. See, e.g., Mann v. Taser Int’l, Inc., 588 F.3d 1291, 1310 (11th Cir.2009) (noting that malice is not required for finding of bad faith); Bashir, 119 F.3d at 931 (); Preferred Care Partners Holding Corp. v. ### Response: holding that more than mere negligence in losing or destroying evidence is required to sustain an inference of consciousness of a weak case " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: jurisdiction over Daniele. Plaintiffs assert three distinct bases of jurisdiction: that SBR paid Daniele to publish infringing material on SBR’s message board, that Daniele’s publications relate to the “sports wagering” industry in Nevada, and that Daniele’s publications were accessible in Nevada through the internet. Even accepting these assertions as true, these are not the type of contacts that give rise o Daniele must therefore fail. Third, the fact that Daniele’s publications related to sports wagering does not establish jurisdictional contacts with Nevada. Plaintiffs urge that the publications were directed at Nevada since the publications discussed sports wagering and since sports wagering is only legal in Nevada (within the United States). Bu F.3d 1124, 1129 (9th Cir.2010) (); Young v.

Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 694, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984), and (b) his counsel’s performance did not so deny Mr. Escareno representation that prejudice should be presumed; and (4) the prosecutor’s closing argument comments, taken in context, were within the bounds of reasonable argumentation, see Pickens v. Gibson, 206 F.3d 988, 999 (10th Cir.2000) ().

The judge heard the case in the 122nd Judicial District Court, which is composed solely of Galveston County, see TexGov’t Code Ann. § 24.224(a) (Vernon 1988), and the case was pending in the 333rd Judicial District Court, which is composed of Harris County only, see TexGov't Code Ann. § 24.479(a) (Vernon 1988), so the phrase does not apply to this case. 4 . The opinion is unclear on whether the trial court actually ruled on the motions in Bowie County, or whether it ruled on them in Dallas County. See Mauzy, 899 S.W.2d at 699 (stating that the trial court ""subsequently ordered the Dallas suit abated and transferred to Travis County”). 5 . The trial court in this case did more than hear oral argument at the summaiy judg .2d 229, 232 (Tex.App.—Texarkana 1992, writ denied) (). In Tigner v.

See Brown, 370 S.W.3d at 654. We find that the effect that the Initiative Petitions may eventually have on the provisions of SB19 does not require the court to step in and redraft the summaries in order for them to be fair and sufficient. It is commonly understood that constitutional amendments will supersede statutes that are in contravention with the amended constitutional provision. Labrayere v. Bohr Farms, LLC, 458 S.W.3d 319, 327 (Mo. banc 2015) (); State v.

It is well settled that a plaintiff aggrieved by a state agency’s action first must exhaust administrative remedies before bringing a claim in court. Burns v. Sundlun, 617 A.2d 114, 116 (R.I.1992). The exhaustion of remedies requirement serves two purposes: “(1) it aids judicial review by allowing the parties and the agency to develop the facts of the case, and (2) ‘it promotes judicial economy by avoiding needless repetition of administrative and judicial factfinding, perhaps avoiding the necessity of any judicial involvement.’ ” Id. at 117 (quoting Schwartz, Administrative Law § 8.33 at 542 (1991)). This Court has made exceptions when the exhaustion of administrative remedies would be futile. See M.B.T. Construction Corp. v. Edwards, 528 A.2d 336, 338 (R.I.1987) ().

Exodus Transit & Storage Corp., 744 A.2d 298, 304-305 (Pa.Super.1999) (internal citations omitted). We also note the following principles pertaining to our review of a verdict in an insurance bad faith claim. Our Supreme Court has long recognized that “the utmost fair dealing should characterize the transactions between an insurance company and the insured.” Dercoli v. Pennsylvania Nat. Mut. Ins. Co., 520 Pa. 471, 477, 554 A.2d 906, ,909 (1989) (quoting Fedas v. Insurance Company of the State of Pennsylvania, 300 Pa. 555, 559, 151 A. 285, 286 (1930)). Moreover, the insurance company has a duty to deal with its insured “on a fair and frank basis, and at all times, to act in good faith.” Id.; Hol-lock v. Erie Ins. Exchange, 842 A.2d 409, 416 (Pa.Super.2004) [ (en banc) ] ()....

See Cheney C. Joseph, and P. Raymond Lamonica, 17 LA. CIV. L. TREATISE, CRIMINAL JURY INSTRUCTIONS § 10.62.8 (2d ed.2011)(defining elements of home invasion offense); see also State v.

The gravamen of this claim is Greenspring’s allegation that because it might take “in excess of two years” to pursue administrative and judicial appeals, these procedures are unconstitutionally burdensome. However, Greenspring does not explain how it arrived at this two year projection, and in any event, delays of this magnitude are not unconstitutional burdens. Even when a significant delay is incurred in reversing a wrongful zoning board decision, and even when that delay causes the plaintiffs to default on their construction loans and lose everything to foreclosure, the Fourth Circuit has held that plaintiffs have not been deprived of procedural due process.

We make these determinations in light of the statutory purpose of ADA as a remedial statute, which should be broadly construed to effectuate its purpose of eliminating discrimination against the disabled in our society. Kinney v. Yerusalim, 812 F.Supp. 547, 551 (E.D.Pa.), aff'd 9 F.3d 1067 (3d Cir.1993), cert. denied, 511 U.S. 1033, 114 S.Ct. 1545, 128 L.Ed.2d 196 (1994). The Third Circuit has not had occasion to identify the standard for determining who is a prevailing party under the ADA. It is clear, however, that the test is to be derived from jurisprudence under 42 U.S.C. § 1988. See Disabled In Action of Pa. v. Pierce, 789 F.2d 1016, 1018-19 (3d Cir.1986) (citing Hensley v.

The issue is whether this substitution, which unquestionably destroyed complete diversity, also defeated federal subject matter jurisdiction. We hold that it did. Casas argues that as diversity jurisdiction was established at the commencement of the proceeding, it was not later defeated by the mere naming of the fictitious parties, who were dispensable, not indispensable. E.g., Freeport-McMoRan Inc. v. K N Energy, Inc., 498 U.S. 426, 428, 111 S.Ct. 858, 859-60, 112 L.Ed.2d 951 (1991) (per curiam) (); Wichita R.R. & Light Co. v.

S.O.S. Fix-It, Inc., 781 F.2d 604, 609 (7th Cir.1986)). No trademark protection can be afforded to such marks because, “if a business were permitted to appropriate a generic word as its trademark, it would be ‘difficult for competitors to market their own brands of the same product.’ ” Retail Services, 364 F.3d at 538 (quoting Blau Plumbing, Inc., 781 F.2d at 609).; see also A. & H.

Jamison (In re Jamison), 21 B.R. 380, 381 (Bankr.D.Conn.1982). The Court in Jamison held, as the Court holds"" here, that the son was not liable for the- car payments made by, the debtor, his father, to the credit union. 5 . The same holds true for. instances in which a debtor, prepetition, depletes his assets under circumstances in which a trustee believes the' decision was unwise, such as when a debtor buys dinner for his friends or purchases an expensive prom dress for his daughter. In these scenarios, a trustee likely has no authority to judge all of the debtor’s prepetition decisions and thus likely has no remedy. However, such a scenario is not now before the Court. See, e.g. Montoya v. Campos (In re Tarin), 454 B.R. 179 (Bankr.D.N.M.2011) ### Response: holding that debtors daughter was not liable under fraudulent transfer law for the amount her parents paid for her wedding prepetition " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: both Mr. Schneider and Mr. Zakaras agree that the possibility existed, at the October 25th meeting, that Mr. Zakaras would obtain another supervisory position. In fact, Mr. Zakaras knew of another United employee, who after calling someone a “stupid nigger,” was transferred from his supervisory position in Ramp Services to another supervisory position as a Zone Controller with no loss in pay. (Pl.’s SMF ¶ 98.) Consequently, at the October 25th meeting, there remained a possibility that Mr. Zakaras was going to be transferred to another department as a supervisor. The Seventh Circuit has held that transfers, with no loss in pay, are, in some instances, not considered adverse employment actions. See, e.g., Williams v. Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., 85 F.3d 270, 274 (7th Cir.1996) (); Crady v.

(¶¶ 35-40) Contrary to the arguments of C&W, such allegations do support the district court’s subject matter jurisdiction. A would-be monopolist or member of a conspiracy to monopolize comes within the condemnation of the Sherman Act when it engages in “anti-competitive conduct.” See, e.g., Spectrum Sports, Inc. v. McQuillan, 506 U.S. 447, 456, 113 S.Ct. 884, 122 L.Ed.2d 247 (1993) (). “Anticompetitive conduct” can come in too ### Response: holding elements of attempted monopolization claim under 2 of sherman act are intent anticompetitive conduct and dangerous probability of success in a relevant market " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: counsel informed him that counsel had been relieved of his responsibility. Defendants further contend that even if the AG had known that former counsel was no longer Plaintiffs’ present counsel, it could not have served the motion for modification on anyone else since the addresses of the class representatives, Taylor and Yanich, cannot be found by the Arizona Department of Corrections. 2. DUE PROCESS A fundamental and elementary requirement of due process in any proceeding is notice and opportunity to be heard. In Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 U.S. 306, 70 S.Ct. 652, 94 L.Ed. 865 (1950), the Supreme Court established the standard for determining whether a party’s notice would meet due process scrutiny: An elementary and fundament d 1440, 1448-49 (9th Cir.1985) ().

That policy ensures institutional safety and keeps the traffic of prisoners between cells and other locations within the prison at a minimum.

A policy that requires all medical examinations, of every kind, to be done at the infirmary would pose an undue burden on the already strained medical resources available. DOCS’s sick call prison policies recognize that inmates have certain rights to privacy and that these rights need to be balanced against safety and security measures.

The doctors seek to adjust to LPR status based on second preference employment-based immigrant visa petitions filed by their employers in conjunction with national interest waiver requests. Though the Immigrant Doctors’ original complaint named eight doctor plaintiffs when it was filed in 2002, four doctors have since obtained LPR status, rendering their claims moot.

An individual must satisfy a three-prong test in order to establish standing. See id. First, the individual must have suffered some injury in fact — an invasion of a legally protected interest that is concrete and particularized and actual or imminent. See id. at 560, 112 S.Ct. 2130; MD Pharmaceutical Inc. v. Drug Enforcement Admin., 133 F.3d 8, 11 (D.C.Cir.1998) (concluding that current manufacturer had standing to seek review of actions taken by the DEA). In some cases, a plaintiff may be injured when the “discriminatory classification preventfs] the plaintiff from competing on an equal footing.” Northeastern Fla. Chapter, Associated Gen.

See Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(c). Defendant’s position is that there are no material issues of fact to try. Both sides have represented that there are no further relevant facts to present. Plaintiffs, however, did not move for summary judgment, and argued that there are triable issues, including whether the Indicative Term Sheet, rather than the two Total Return Swap Agreements, should be considered the agreement. A district judge, presented with a motion for summary judgment, is entitled to search the record and, if no genuine issues of material fact exist, to determine the motion in favor of the party entitled to summary judgment, regardless whether the party is the moving, or the responding, party.

Accordingly, Sun Trading’s state law claims are hereby dismissed without prejudice to re-filing in state court. B. Plaintiff’s Cross Motion for Leave to Amend the Complaint Sun Trading moves for leave to amend its complaint to include Kenwood Japan and Art Union Records as defendants, in place of Kenwood Electronics Corp. The Court finds that amendment of the complaint at this stage would be futile. Even if Sun Trading were able to determine the proper Kenwood entities and add them as defendants, its claims against these entities would fail as a matter of law for the reasons stated above. Accordingly, plaintiffs motion for leave to amend the complaint is hereby denied. See Foman v. Davis, 371 U.S. 178, 182, 83 S.Ct. 227, 230, 9 L.Ed.2d 222 (1962) ().

However, as already noted above, the NPL did not violate the automatic stay, and therefore is not void. The District Court has already found the NPL constitutes prima facie proof of the Debtor's willfulness. Furthermore, IDOR has submitted other evidence of the Debt- or’s willfulness. 34 . FAA creates, inter alia, a national recording scheme for air commerce. Most courts have held that although the FAA operates to determine whether a valid recording has occurred, in most other aspects of secured transactions it does not preempt state law.

In General Electric Co, decided by this Court under the Tariff Schedules of the United States (TSUS), the Court reasoned that “the invasive character of the ‘whether or not’ language in the superior heading would make recitation of such language in each of the indented subheadings redundant.” General Electric Co. v. United States, 83 Cust.Ct. 56, 61, C.D. 4822, 476 F.Supp. 1082 (1979). See also Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc. v. United States, 74 Cust.Ct. 125, 130, C.D. 4596, 1975 WL 26986 (1975) ().

II. Attorney’s Fees and Costs Because we affirm the family court’s overall contempt findings, we also affirm the award of attorney’s fees and costs. Regardless of whether the family court applied the E.D.M. factors or compensatory contempt doctrine, the family court correctly determined Father was entitled to attorney’s fees. Mother has a gross monthly income of $23,451, including her salary, alimony, and child support. She has over $5 million in savings. Mother’s payment of the attorney’s fees and costs would not affect her standard of living in any meaningful way. Accordingly, we affirm the award of attorney’s fees. See Whetstone v.

Because the order on appeal simply remands the petition back to the administrative law judge for further proceedings (i.e., a formal hearing), it is not a final order.

Having concluded that it was not bound by Universal or Fronatt, the court proceeded to reject Eodice’s interpretation of section 16.01 as well. The court believed that Eodice presented the exact type of scenario envisioned by the Legislature when it adopted section 16.01. Id. at 424-25.

As of November 23, 2005, the Debtor owed the Creditor approximately $114,040. A debtor cannot claim an exemption against amounts owed on a secured debt that represents a voluntary encumbrance of property; consequently, the Debtor is not entitled to any exemption in the $114,040 owed to the Creditor. Because the Debtor’s principal residence was sold for $130,000, the Debtor’s entitlement to an exemption based on the transfer sought to be avoided was only $15,960. Assuming that all four of the requirements are met, a debtor has the right to avoid the transfer of his property to the extent that he could have exempted such property. See Compton v.

The import of both of these cases is that the cause of action remains personal to the plaintiff insofar as the running of the statute of limitations is concerned. That is, the statute of limitations either runs or is tolled depending upon the status of the plaintiff, irrespective of whether a legal guardian exists. If the plaintiff is under some form of legally recognized disability which tolls the statute of limitations, the statute of limitations remains tolled despite the possibility that some representative could bring the action on the plaintiff’s behalf.

We affirm, adding only the following comments. First, Ware has not shown that the district court erred in failing to find that defendants waived the exhaustion requirement. Defendants raised a failure-to-exhaust defense in their answer and in a renewed motion for summary judgment. Ware did not assert any prejudice, nor do we perceive any, as he was on notice of the exhaustion requirement and had ample time to oppose the renewed summary judgment motion. Thus, the district court did not abuse its discretion in considering the defendants’ failure-to-exhaust defense. See Guzman-Rivera v. Rivera-Cruz, 98 F.3d 664, 668 (1st Cir.1996) ().

Some of our sister circuits have encountered a different type of “double counting” problem in cases that involve calculations of loss under § 2Bl.l(b)(l). This version of “double counting” occurs where the same fraudulent check or stolen credit card is erroneously counted twice in estimating the total loss attributable to a defendant. Reviewing courts have found such errors to be material only where they bring the amount of loss into a different category for Guidelines purposes, such as from $900,000, which would carry a fourteen-level enhancement under § 2Bl.l(b)(l)(H), to $1.1 million, which would carry a sixteen-level enhancement under § 2Bl.l(b)(l)(I).

By incorporating possession and endorsement of the CD as a precondition to payment, the bank implicitly acknowledged that the CD was indeed transferable. See First National Bank in Grand Prairie v. Lone Star Life Insurance Co., 524 S.W.2d 525, 530 (Tex.Civ.App.1975).

The crux of Thuri’s position is that she was persecuted because her father opposed institutional government corruption — which (in her view) constitutes the expression of a political opinion. By contrast, the IJ concluded, and the government contends, that the officers’ retaliatory conduct was driven by a criminal, nonpolitical motive to punish Thuri’s father for reporting the hijacking. Thuri has not identified any decisions in this circuit that support her argument for refugee status. In addition, even if the two Ninth Circuit cases on which Thuri relies were binding precedent, it is not clear that the legal standards those decisions announce would apply to Thuri’s case.

Plainly, in light of the Guidance, tobacco companies are given a choice: either comply with the FDA’s interpretation of the TCA by filing the required SE report when making a label or quantity change to their product, or risk a possible “enforcement action.” But, of course, that is no real choice at all.

Rather, appellant’s consent was the result of coercive police tactics aimed at forcing appellant to consent to a search of his residence. First, the officers knew they could not obtain a warrant to search appellant’s residence solely based upon the anonymous tip because the tip, standing alone, did not establish probable cause.

Fragozo, 352 F.3d 939, 953-54 ### Response: holding that a plaintiffs allegations that the defendant seized him pursuant to legal process that was not supported by probable cause and that the criminal proceedings terminated in his favor are sufficient to state a 1983 malicious prosecution claim alleging a seizure that was violative of the fourth amendment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: petition, in contrast, seeks the very different relief of rescinding the plea agreement, and it attacks the validity of his conviction and sentence. It is settled that “[mjotions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255 are the presumptive means by which federal prisoners can challenge their convictions or sentences that are allegedly in violation of the Constitution,” Okereke v. United States, 307 F.3d 117, 120 (3d Cir.2002), and a federal prisoner can seek relief under § 2241 only if the remedy provided by § 2255 is “inadequate or ineffective to test the legality of his detention.” 28 U.S.C. § 2255(e). Ryan’s attempt to void his plea agreement as a result of the government’s alleged breach must be brought in proceeding under § 2255. See Nichols v. Symmes, 553 F.3d 647, 649-50 (8th Cir. 2009) (); see also United States v. Eakman, 378 F.3d ### Response: holding that prisoner who sought to withdraw guilty plea based on alleged breach of plea agreement due to his placement in a federal rather than a state prison facility had to bring claim under 2255 not 2241 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: The record shows that the district court considered the § 3553(a) sentencing factors in denying Perez’s motion for reduction. The district court was not required to expressly refer to the specific § 3553(a) factors or provide more specific reasons in support of its determination that a reduction was not warranted. See Whitebird, 55 F.3d at 1010; Henderson, 636 F.3d at 718. As for Perez’s argument that the district court should have applied the analysis in Pepper, the holding in Pepper applied to the consideration of post-sentencing reha bilitation when resentencing after a defendant’s sentence had been vacated on appeal, not on a motion to reduce a sentence under § 3582(c)(2). See 562 U.S. at 490, 131 S.Ct. 1229; United States v. Harris, 643 Fed.Appx. 340, 341-42 (5th Cir. 2016) (). AFFIRMED. * Pursuant to 5th Cir.

Finally, case law dealing with similar facts has addressed whether the creditor must turn over the funds, not its receipt of the property after lawful presentment of a negotiable instrument. See, e.g., In re Thomas, 311 B.R. 75, 79-80 (Bankr. W.D.Mo.2004). The Seventh Circuit’s decision in In re Roete, 936 F.2d 963 (7th Cir.1991), is not instructive as the check in that case was dishonored. The Supreme Court’s decision in Citizens Bank of Maryland v. Strumpf 516 U.S. 16, 116 S.Ct. 286, 133 L.Ed.2d 258 (1995), also is not helpful because the bank froze the debtor’s account without violating the automatic stay to preserve its setoff rights, and setoff rights are not present 290 B.R. 487 (Bankr.S.D.N.Y.2003) (); In re Boscia, 237 B.R. 184 ### Response: holding secured creditors refusal to turn over property of debtors estate to debtor upon demand constituted an exercise of control over such property in violation of automatic stay " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: authori 782 N.E.2d 275, 280-81 (2002) (detention for fifteen minutes to write out ticket while awaiting arrival of drug-sniffing dog called at outset of stop held unreasonable absent reasonable suspicion); Haas v.

The government agents responsible did not minimize intrusions on privacy, however, but instead seized papers and records beyond those the warrant authorized. See United States v. Rettig, 589 F.2d 418, 423 (9th Cir.1978) (concluding that although the warrant was sufficiently particular, the executing “agents did not confine their search in good faith to the objects of the warrant, and that while purporting to execute it, they substantially exceeded any reasonable interpretation of its provisions”). Unlike cases where the magistrate judge erred in filling out the warrant but the government reasonably relied on the judge’s approval, here the magistrate judge properly authorized the warrant but the agents did not follow it.

Without the requisite fraud on the court foundation, the district court concluded that it would not have jurisdiction over McVeigh’s anticipated Rule 60(b) motion. Because § 1651 does not constitute a grant of jurisdiction, but instead merely empowers federal courts to issue all writs necessary or appropriate in aid of respective jurisdiction, and because it would not have jurisdiction over McVeigh’s anticipated Rule 60(b) motion, the district court concluded that it must deny McVeigh’s request for a stay. See Hatch v. Oklahoma, 92 F.3d 1012, 1017 (10th Cir.1996) () (citing Barefoot v. Estelle, 463 U.S. 880, ### Response: holding that a stay of execution is only appropriate where the movant demonstrates substantial grounds upon which relief might be granted " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “fully and finally affirmed,” it remained possible that attorneys’ fees could be reduced or the order reversed altogether. R. 97-1, Pg. ID 1488-89, 1508 (providing that “the Settling Parties enter[ed] into this Agreement on a conditional basis,” and that if the order was reversed on appeal the agreement “shall be deemed null and void”). And while it would have been good business practice to set the money aside, the contempt power is not meant to force businesses into good business practices. Nor is it meant to force parties to comply with contracts, where a breach of contract action would be more appropriate. Rather, the contempt power is reserved for parties that knowingly violate clear and specific commands of the court. See, e.g., Downey v. Clauder, 30 F.3d 681, 686 (6th Cir. 1994) (); NLRB v. Deena Artware, Inc., 261 F.2d 503, ### Response: holding that an order that did not specify a date or command the contemnor to act immediately was not definite and specific " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Cir.1993); United States v. Miller, 821 F.2d 546, 548-49 (11th Cir.1987). In determining whether such a non-owner may claim a privacy interest in a car that he is driving, courts consider two factors: whether the driver manifested a subjective expectation of privacy in the area searched; and whether that expectation of privacy is one that society would find objectively reasonable. United States v. Amaral-Estrada, 509 F.3d 820, 826-27 (7th Cir.2007). Courts have repeatedly recognized the right of a driver to assert a Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable searches of a vehicle where the driver is operating that vehicle, with the permission of the owner. Garcia, 897 F.2d at 1418-19; Soto, 988 F.2d at 1553; Miller, 821 F.2d at 548-49; see also Thomas, 447 F.3d at 1197-98 (). In lawfully possessing and controlling the ### Response: holding that even a driver not listed as an authorized driver for a rental car could nevertheless have an expectation of privacy if given permission to use the car by an authorized driver " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: prosecution, a reasonable juror could conclude that (1) Ms. Colwell sold Carter the green Chrysler that was recovered by Officer Oliver; (2) Carter was the man Ms. Ford saw enter the Hartsville Citgo station and change into coveralls shortly before the bank robbery; (3) Carter was the man whom Ms. Cornwell saw at the carwash before the bank robbery; (4) Carter’s green car was the same car that Mr. Holder saw the robber drive away in after the robbery; (5) it was Carter who fled from both Officer Oliver and Sergeant Lanier; and (6) Carter fled because he knew he committed the robbery at the Hartsville Bank. In sum, a rational fact finder could decide that Carter was the man who robbed Hartsville Bank on October 15, 1996. See, e.g., United States v. Bond, 22 F.3d 662, 667 (6th Cir.1994) (). 11 . The district court included the ### Response: holding that there was sufficient evidence for a robbery conviction where the getaway car a red firebird was identified by an individual who followed the vehicle and wrote down the license plate the firebird had been stolen from a gas station in a nearby city several weeks earlier the firebird had a defendants fingerprints both on its inside and outside on the drivers side a friend of one defendant testified that he had seen him driving a red firebird two or three weeks before the robbery a music tape reported missing by the owner of the firebird was found in one defendants house ammunition for handguns a spent shotgun shell and stacks of cash sorted by denomination were found in one defendants house a friend testified that the defendants confided in him about the robbery and an fbi agent testified that he overheard the defendants talking about killing a person who planned to testify against them " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23(b)(3). Rule 23(b)(3) requires a plaintiff to demonstrate that “questions of law or fact common to class members predominate over any questions affecting only individual members, and that a class action is superior to other available methods for fairly and efficiently adjudicating the controversy.” In applying these standards, the Court focuses on “the substantive elements of plaintiffs’ cause of action and inquire into the proof necessary for the various elements.” Simer v. Rios, 661 F.2d 655, 672 (7th Cir.1981). Moreover, the Supreme Court has held that “the predominance criterion is far more demanding” than “Rule 23(a)’s commonality requirement.” Amchem Prods., Inc. v. Windsor, 521 U.S. 591, 62 F.R.D. 668, 674 (D.Wyo. 2011) (); Kenro, Inc. v. Fax Daily, 962 F.Supp. 1162, ### Response: holding that because the tcpa claims will require extensive individual fact inquiries into whether each individual gave express consent by providing their wireless number to the creditor during the transaction that resulted in the debt owed individual inquiries predominate over the class action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: distinguishes work specific to Williams. (Jan. 31, 2006 Hackett Aff. 113-9.) Indeed, the affidavit explains that defense counsel excluded approximately $1 million in fees for work that could be used in this case and Kutten II. (Id. 13.) Third, Plaintiffs argue that Rule 41(d) provides only for an award of costs—not attorneys’ fees. Courts disagree on this issue. See Rogers, 230 F.3d at 874-75 (conceding that “the majority of courts find that attorney fees are available under Rule 41(d),” but nonetheless holding that the plain language of Rule 41(d) does not include attorneys’ fees). However, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has awarded attorneys’ fees under Rule 41(d). See Evans v. Safeway Stores, Inc., 623 F.2d 121, 122 (8th Cir.1980); see also Copeland, 462 F.Supp.2d at 1022-24 (). In addition, the Eighth Circuit has ### Response: holding that a court may award attorneys fees under rule 41d " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Mr. Rosen “ethically would be compelled to inform other clients of [one witness's] testimony if detrimental to them.” Mr. Rosen, as noted earlier, has avoided that problem by keeping himself unacquainted with each witness’s version of the events at the Post. 12 . Counsel for appellant Rosen and Local 6 conceded at oral argument that there is no evidence in the record indicating what the witnesses think their relationship is with respect to Mr. Rosen, and furthermore that the witnesses were never asked whether they wanted this type of “representation.” 13 . The District Court has power to find criminal contempt on the part of a grand jury witness for refusing to obey a court order requiring him to testify. E. g., Harris v. United States, 382 U.S. 162, 86 S.Ct. 352, 15 L.Ed.2d 240 (1965) ().

Upon the filing of a Chapter 7 petition, an interim Trustee is appointed to administer, inter alia, the property of the estate. See 11 U.S.C. § 701. The Trustee is the sole representative of the estate. See 11 U.S.C. § 323(a). As such, the Trustee has the exclusive right to prosecute causes of action that are property of the bankruptcy estate. See 11 U.S.C. § 323(b); see also Jones v. Harrell, 858 F.2d 667, 669 (11th Cir.1988) (concluding that a “trustee succeeds to all causes of action held by a debtor at the time the bankruptcy petition is filed”); In re Labrum & Doak, No. CIV.A. 99-753, 1999 WL 667284, at *1 (E.D.Pa.

Section 84-917 provides that one “aggrieved by a final decision in a contested case” before an administrative agency “shall be entitled to judicial review ... .” Assuming, but not deciding, that the department has jurisdiction to pass upon the rights, if any, which Inner Harbour may have against the department under the latter’s agreement with the adoptive parents, the fact is that the matter was not before the department, and it therefore made no decision, final or otherwise, with respect thereto. That being so, there was no decision for the district court to review in that regard; it was therefore without jurisdiction to issue any orders with respect to the adoption agreement. See Bohling v. State Bd. of Pub. Accountancy, 243 Neb. 666, 501 N.W.2d 714 (1993) (). Accordingly, the portion of the district ### Response: holding that in absence of valid final order district court lacked power to review boards action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the district court’s limitation of wrongful death damages and Kane’s subsequent choice to voluntarily abandon his attempt to seek damages for Cornish’s emotional distress left nothing further for the district court to do. We disagree. Rather, we find that Kane’s voluntary abandonment of the other “claims” in his complaint merely foreclosed the possibility of his recovering a certain type of damages. The question that will determine liability — whether the officers knocked and announced prior to entering Cornish’s apartment — is still live. Further, if this question is resolved in Kane’s favor, he will be able to recover nominal damages under § 1983 for the violation of Cornish’s constitutional rights. See Carey v. Piphus, 435 U.S. 247, 266, 98 S.Ct. 1042, 55 L.Ed.2d 252 (1978) (). As such, a jury must resolve this factual ### Response: holding that under 1983 violations of constitutional rights are actionable for nominal damages without proof of actual injury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the presumption of immunity creates an “unusual” standard for summary judgment. As the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit observed, [T]he rebuttable presumption ... creates an unusual summary judgment standard that can best be expressed as follows: “Might a reasonable jury, viewing the facts in the best light for [the plaintiff], conclude that he has shown, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendants’ actions are outside the scope of § 11112(a)?” If not, the court should grant the defendant’s motion. In a sense, the presumption language in HCQIA means that the plaintiff bears the burden of proving that the peer review process was not reasonable. (Citations omitted.) Bryan, 33 F.3d at 1333; see also Gordon v. Lewistown Hosp., 423 F.3d 184, 202 (3d Cir.2005) (). We explained this standard in Goodwich: [T]he ### Response: holding that hcqias presumption of immunity creates an unusual standard for reviewing summary judgment orders as the plaintiff bears the burden of proving that the professional review process was not reasonable and thus did not meet the standard for immunity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: practices. We have previously rejected this precise argument in FTC v. Dixie Finance Co., 695 F.2d 926, 930 (5th Cir.1983), albeit under the second prong of McCarran Act preemption test set forth in Cochran, 606 F.2d at 464. The analysis set forth in Dixie Finance is equally applicable in this case, and for the sake of brevity, we will not repeat it. 7 . The First, Fourth, Seventh, and Ninth Circuits hold that if a practice is illegal under both state and federal law but federal law provides for a stronger remedy, the McCarran Act does not preempt the federal law. See Villafane-Neriz v. FDIC, 75 F.3d 727, 735-36 (1st Cir.1996) (Federal Deposit Insurance Act); Merchants Home Delivery Serv., Inc. v. Frank B. Hall & Co., 50 F.3d 1486, 1492 (9th Cir.1995) (RICO); NAACP, 978 F.2d at 295-97 (); Mackey v. Nationwide Ins.

See Ridgely, 512 F.3d at 735-36. In sum, for our interlocutory review of the denial of a preliminary injunction, the ordinances do not limit discretion sufficiently to confer a property interest in remaining on the tow-rotation list; the ordinances do not contain the requisite mandatory language. This is especially true in the light of our policy of construing ambiguities in defendants’ favor where a purported property interest is not “unequivocally granted in clear and explicit terms”. Batterton v. Tex. Gen. Land Office, 783 F.2d 1220, 1223 (5th Cir.1986) (); see also Mills v.

See Big Bear Lodging Ass’n v. Snow Summit, Inc., 182 F.3d 1096, 1106 n. 9 (9th Cir.1999). The district court erred as a matter of law in holding that Rivera’s defamation claim was preempted by FELA. See Gottshall, 512 U.S. at 556, 114 S.Ct. 2396. A claim for defamation does not result in a physical impact and is therefore not the type of claim that FELA was designed to encompass. See id. at 555-56, 114 S.Ct. 2396; see also Smith v. Union Pacific Railroad, 236 F.3d 1168, 1172 (10th Cir. 2000) (rejecting plaintiffs emotional distress claim under FELA because there was no physical impact causing the disorder); Grown v. Union Pacific Railroad, 162 F.3d 984, 985-86 (8th Cir.1998) ().

The commission reversed the deputy commissioner’s ruling and awarded claimant benefits beginning November 17,1992. The commission further stated that it could not rely on history relayed by a claimant to determine how an accident occurred. II. CONSIDERATION OF MEDICAL HISTORIES As the Supreme Court of Virginia has stated, “injuries resulting from repetitive trauma ... as well as injuries sustained at an unknown time, are not ‘injuries by accident’ within the meaning of Code § 65.1-7.” Morris v.

Second, the County argues in the alternative that the district court erred in classifying hindering apprehension as a “minor offense,” and that the nature of Ms. Jimenez’s offense therefore justified the search regardless of the lack of individualized reasonable suspicion. For the following reasons, we disagree. A t a policy of strip searching every arrestee booked into a jail or detention facility does not violate the Fourth Amendment); Roberts v.

Because Osberg seeks the same relief under § 404(a) as under § 102(a), and because the timeliness of the § 404(a) claim is undisputed, we need not conclusively decide whether Osberg’s § 102(a) claim is subject to a three- or six-year statute of limitations to resolve the instant appeal. To survive summary judgment on his disclosure claims, Osberg was required to raise a genuine issue of material fact with respect to his demand for “appropriate equitable relief’ — specifically, surcharge or reformation — under ERISA § 502(a)(3), 29 U.S.C. § 1132(a)(3).

This concept of “dual sovereignty” is premised on the principle that the states and federal government are each sovereign entities with the power to independently prosecute criminal offenses created under the laws of that sovereign by employing their own prosecutorial and adjudicative institutions for that purpose. Wheeler, 435 U.S. at 320, 98 S.Ct. at 1084, 55 L.Ed.2d at 310-11. This court has recognized this principle for many years. See State v. Moore, 143 Iowa 240, 121 N.W. 1052 (1909) ().

One important difference between Advantage's policy and the policy at issue in Clemtex is that the latter did not incorporate the applicable TDI rules. The court noted this fact in holding the insurer could not supplant the contract provisions with contradictory TDI rules not even mentioned in the contract. In the instant case, the TDI rules were clearly incorporated in the contract. Therefore, Clemtex is inapposite to this case. More importantly, the insurance contract that is the subject of this dispute is not one written in the ordinary private insurance setting, as was the contract at issue in Clemtex. The Facility, although not a state agency, is essentially an arm of the State. Compare Turner Bros. Trucking, 912 S.W.2d at 391 () with American Home Assur. v.

This reasoning is applicable here. In this rape case, the witnesses’ credibility was the central issue for the trial judge to determine. We note that Delaware courts have been reluctant to disqualify a judge under Canon 3C(1) and the Los test. See, e.g., Robinson v. State, 869 A.2d 328, 2005 WL 535007, 2005 Del.

The plaintiff must show that the defendant intended “either to inflict personal injury or to arouse apprehension of harmful or offensive bodily contact.” Rivera v. Puerto Rican Home Attendants Servs., Inc., 930 F.Supp. 124, 133 (S.D.N.Y.1996).

The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts’ most thorough evaluation of the improper means element for tortious interference occurred in United Truck Leasing Corp. v. Geltman, 406 Mass. 811, 817, 551 N.E.2d 20 (1990). In Geltman, the Court included within the ambit of “improper means” violations of a statute or a rule of common law, threats, misrepresentation, defamation, or any other improper means. Id.

The inclusion of the phrase “any other improper means,” makes this Court reluc o., 283 Or. 201, 582 P.2d 1365, 1371 (1978) () ; Adler, Barish, Daniels, Levin and Creskoff ### Response: holding that im proper means may be wrongful by reason of a statute or other regulation or a recognized rule of common law or perhaps an established standard of a trade or profession " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: police standards and that there were alternative techniques available for subduing him that presented a lesser threat of death or serious injury.

But at this juncture, the Court is not prepared to hold that an acceleration clause like the one in the Watson Agreement may never be cognizable as a component of a complex settlement agreement amounting to a large and unjustified reverse payment. Accordingly, the acceleration clause may be considered, a least for the time being, as a component in the greater calculus. But see Actos, 2015 WL 5610752, at *16 (). c.

It was noted that he could perform full weight bearing activities; constantly sit, stand and walk; frequently climb stairs; occasionally bend, squat and climb ladders; and had no lifting limitations. (Tr. 290). This directly conflicts with her September 2007 assessment, and she did not even examine Plaintiff during the intervening months. (Tr. 290, 369-73). See Stanley v.

However, this encounter evolved into an investigatory stop when, upon approaching Reyes, Officer Cuellar noticed that the scooter had no key and that Reyes was nervous and sweating. These observations, combined with the time of day; the fact that Reyes was coming from the direction of a scooter store; Officer Cuellar’s knowledge of recent scooter thefts in the area; and Reyes’ statements that the scooter belonged to a friend whose last name and address he did not know, all gave rise to a reasonable suspicion that criminal activity might be afoot.

The D.C. Court of Appeals has not squarely addressed the question whether bad faith denial of an insurance claim constitutes an independent tort under D.C. law. The district court has considered the issue in two separate reported cases, but these cases are directly in conflict. Compare GEICO, 769 F.Supp. at 387 (“District of Columbia law does not recognize the tort of bad faith denial of an insurance claim.”) with Washington v.

Merely being a party to the agreement did not confer standing on McClellan to appeal the bankruptcy court’s order.

In sum, McClellan’s appeal is based entirely on its assertion that the agreement benefitted the debtor’s interests and, therefore, should have been approved. While the debtor could have prosecuted this appeal based upon whether the agreement was in his best interest, McClellan cannot. See Umpqua Shopping Ctr., 111 B.R. at 305 ().

In all cases, however, the private citizen’s belief is unreasonable when the assistance he furnishes to a law enforcement official is a patently abusive misuse of police authority. Finally, an assisting private person who materially deviates from the directions given to him by law enforcement cannot reasonably expect that his unsupervised actions will be shielded from liability.

Although the defense in this case did not present evidence of any apparent outward manifestation of intoxication, the use of crack cocaine may not be readily apparent. Additionally, crack cocaine is highly addictive. It is troubling that we are affirming this death case without obtaining an answer to the question of whether the forewoman of the jury used crack cocaine during the trial and in deliberations. Certainly, the use of crack cocaine by a juror in a capital case, if true, would require a new trial. Cf. Gamble v. State, 44 Fla. 429, 33 So. 471, 473 (1902) ().

As a threshold matter, Plaintiff contends that Defendants cannot raise an argument based on the integration clause because they are not parties to the Agreements. Opp’n at 8-9. The Court rejects this argument. Plaintiff is suing Defendants based on the Agreements, and Plaintiffs authority does not support its position that non-parties cannot invoke the parol evidence rule or integrated contracts when the contracts are central to the issue at hand.

I know where you live, or, I see you all the time in town. You’re mine.” Later, Wise was heard to say, “I’m going to stab that fucking cop.” The trial judge found that Wise’s testimony was “not credible” and that this evidence proved Wise meant he “was going to have [the officer] killed.” The First Amendment is not implicated in this case because Wise made a threat of bodily harm within the meaning of the statute. This was not a situation involving hyperbole analogous to Watts and the context does not otherwise indicate Wise was making a political statement. The trial judge found the evidence, in context, proved Wise intended to intimidate the officer by threatening physical harm. See Selph v. Commonwealth, 48 Va.App. 426, 433-35, 632 S.E.2d 24, 27-28 (2006) (). See also Crawley v.

(See 735 ILCS 5/13 — 206 (West 1992).) Plainly, if attorneys are allowed to file separate common law contract actions to recover attorney fees, it thwarts the purpose and intent of section 508 to have all issues involving attorney fees in domestic relations cases decided promptly. We must also bear in mind that before section 508 was enacted, generally an attorney could not seek or obtain a judgment for attorney fees against her own client in a pending domestic relations case. (Cf. Seniuta v. Seniuta (1977), 49 Ill. App. 3d 329, 331, 364 N.E.2d 327, 328 ().) Section 508 made an utter change.

Hyperlinks The use of a plaintiffs trademark as the domain name for a website satisfies the “commercial use” requirement if the website contains a hyperlink that connects users to another of a defendant’s websites if it operates for “commercial purposes.” See OBH, 86 F.Supp.2d at 185-86. However, where a “website contain[s] no commercial links, but rather contain[s] links to a [website], which in turn contain[s] advertising” or has a commercial purpose, this does not satisfy the “commercial use requirement of the statute.” See Bosley Medical, 403 F.3d at 678; see also TMI, Inc. v.

This language seems to mean that in order for the second clause to apply, the facts establishing all elements of the plaintiffs claim must have occurred within the United States. Contrary to BP’s assertion, Sopo’s activities within the United States are not sufficient to establish a cause of action. All that Sopo allegedly did in the United States was disclose BP’s trade secrets to the United States vendors. This act if proved would not itself establish a trade secret misappropriation. For BP to prevail on a misappropriation theory, it would also have to show that Sopo acquired the information in an unlawful manner. E.g. BP Chemicals, Ltd. v. Baloun, No. 4.-98CV932 RWS (E.D.Mo.

The determination that voir dire is a critical stage of trial flows directly from the recognition that a defendant’s “life or liberty may depend upon the aid which, by his personal presence, he may give to counsel and to the court and triers in the selection of jurors.” Lewis, supra at 373, 13 S.Ct. 136. However, certain decisions regarding the conduct of voir dire are properly made by counsel alone. See, e.g., Gonzalez v. United States, 553 U.S. 242, 128 S.Ct. 1765, 170 L.Ed.2d 616 (2009[2008]) ().

He also sought the opportunity to apply for protection under the United Nations Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). The District Court denied Gerbier’s request for habeas relief, finding that the BIA had properly determined that Gerbier was an aggravated felon and, thus, ineligible for cancellation of removal. The District Court permitted Gerbier to apply for protection under CAT, but Gerbier subsequently declined this opportunity. This timely appeal followed. The District Court had jurisdiction pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See INS v. St. Cyr, 533 U.S. 289, 121 S.Ct. 2271, 2287, 150 L.Ed.2d 347 (2001) ().

There is some confusion, however, as to whether this type of evidence is admissible in this context. The general rule is that evidence that “explains away or completely obliterates” probable cause is admissible, while evidence that “merely controverts the existence of probable cause” is not. Mainero v. Gregg, 164 F.3d 1199, 1207 n. 7 (9th Cir.1999). Courts, however, have struggled with the admissibility of recantation evidence under this rule.

Bowling I, 873 S.W.2d at 182-85 (Leibson, J., dissenting). 3 . Under current Kentucky law, Bowling has the burden of proving EED; the government is not charged with proving its absence. See Wellman v. Commonwealth, 694 S.W.2d 696, 697 (Ky.1985). Bowling argues in his brief that the government should have had the burden of proving an absence of EED at trial. Bowling cites a recent Sixth Circuit case that granted habeas relief on such grounds. See Gall v. Parker, 231 F.3d 265, 288-91 (6th Cir.2000) (), cert. denied, 533 U.S. 941, 121 S.Ct. 2577, ### Response: holding that the kentucky supreme court erroneously put the burden on the defendant to show eed when it was actually the governments obligation to prove a lack of eed " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: see also United States v.

Special Agent Starmer’s hearsay testimony concerning the incident in Oklahoma mirrored Winfrey’s testimony. Although, like Special Agent Starmer, Winfrey acknowledged that he had no first-hand knowledge of the vehicle stop, Robinson did not object to Winfrey’s testimony as hearsay. See United States v. White, 11 F.3d 1446, 1451 (8th Cir.1993). Neither did Robinson object to Ousley’s hearsay testimony confirming the incident.

The district court did not reach the defendants' other arguments for dismissal, including Best Buy and Speakeasy’s argument that RTI’s claim that they “assisted” in filing the California Action did not satisfy the plausibility standard for pleading, see Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678-80, 129 S.Ct. 1937, and the Covad Defendants’ argument that they were not bound by the Agreement. Because we affirm the district court's dismissal under Lear, we do not reach these arguments. 5 . Cf. Aro Corp. v. Allied Witan Co., 531 F.2d 1368, 1374 (6th Cir.1976) (). 6 .

Section 5 of the Charity Act After it concluded that Theater was not a “purely public charity” under the HUP test, the trial court then decided that Theater also did not qualify for an exemption under the Charity Act. It concluded that Theater did not prove that, upon dissolution, its assets would be donated to a charity or that it renders a substantial portion of its services gratuitously. Theater challenges both conclusions as inconsistent with the uncontradicted evidence. County responds that once the trial court determined that Theater did not qualify as a “purely public charity” under the HUP test, its analysis should have ended. Mesivtah Eitz Chaim of Bobov, Inc. v. Pike County Board of Assessment Appeals, 615 Pa. 463, 44 A.3d 3, 9 (2012) ().

There thus can be no close nexus between the Commonwealth and the allegedly unlawful acts of the defendants here. We therefore find that defendants’ responsibilities under, and alleged violation of, the Pennsylvania statute do not render them state actors, regardless of which test we employ. Plaintiff has alleged nothing which would warrant a finding of state action in this matter. We note that former Chief Judge Lord and Judge Newcomer reached the same conclusion, without the guidance of the Lugar trilogy, years ago. See Cardio-Medical Assocs. v. Crozer-Chester Med. Ctr., 536 F.Supp. 1065, 1091 (E.D.Pa.1982) (Lord, C.J.) (); Holton v. Crozer-Chester Med.

See Ohio Admin. Code § 4123-7-25(F) (denying compensation for household duties). We reject these arguments for two reasons. First, we find persuasive the rationale of the court in Lott, 746 F.Supp. at 1087-88, which drew on the exemption’s legislative history to hold that “domestic service employment” simply means being “employed in a private home.” Because Ms. Salyer renders her services to Mr. Salyer almost entirely within their home, she is undoubtedly engaged in domestic service employment to provide companionship services to her disabled husband. Cf. Linn, 891 F.Supp. at 578-79 (). Moreover, as heretofore indicated, the ### Response: holding that a plaintiff analogous to ms salyer who did not work in private homes did not fall within the companionship services exemption " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that a defendant waives the right to confrontation by failing to enter an objection); Brown, 116 N.M. at 706, 866 P.2d at 1173 (“[0]n a doubtful or deficient record, we presume regularity and correctness in the proceedings below.”). Admission of Photographs of Victim— Garcia {49} Garcia challenges the admission of two photographs depicting Victim with his children, taken prior to his death, and three photographs of Victim’s condition after he received the fatal gunshot wound. The court admitted the former on the ground the State was entitled to humanize Victim and the latter for the purpose of showing the nature of the injury. {50} “A trial court has great discretion in balancing the prejudicial impact of a ,130 N.M. 732, 31 P.3d 1006; Pettigrew, 116 N.M. at 139, 860 P.2d at 781 (); State v.

The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has not addressed whether, in the context of a motion to set aside or enjoin an override of the automatic stay issued, under 31 U.S.C. § 3553(d)(3)(C), “prejudice” must be demonstrated to establish standing, ie., that the protestor would have a “substantial chance” of receiving the award absent the alleged error in the procu 6, 1562-63 (Fed.Cir.1996) (); cf.

Although Rabanales frames his challenge in terms of procedural and substantive reasonableness, his arguments sound primarily in substantive reasonableness. We therefore only address substantive reasonableness. See United States v.

A motion to reduce or modify a sentence must be filed “within 60 days after receipt by the court of a mandate issued by the court on affirmance of the judgment and/or sentence on an original appeal.” Fla. R. Crim. P. 3.800(c). Although Stewart sought collateral postcon-viction relief after our mandate issued, she did not pursue further appellate review of her judgment and sentence. Accordingly, jurisdiction returned to the trial court to hear the rule 3.800(c) motion on May 18, 2006, the date the mandate issued from this court. Stewart had sixty days from that date to seek modification of her sentence. See Joseph v. State, 835 So.2d 1221, 1221 (Fla. 5th DCA 2003) ().

The government agreed. The court’s finding is consistent with the growing list of courts that have reached the same conclusion following Johnson. See, e.g., United States v.

A plaintiff may not bring a state claim under the aegis of § 1983, so if Count II states a plausible claim, our jurisdiction is predicated on § 1367(a), not § 1331.

(EOF No. 79.) In contrast, Plaintiff cites to Dellaripa, which states that Van Beeck’s holding logically extends to survival actions. The Court agrees with the reasoning in Dellaripa, and this Court does not construe Dooley to supersede Dellaripa. First, the Court notes that the categories of beneficiaries established in sections 51 and 59 are identical. Accordingly, this Court would be in direct conflict with Van Beeck if it determined that the estate of a statutory beneficiary qualified as a “new” class of beneficiary. Second, other courts have reached similar conclusions about the sur-vivorship of claims where the named beneficiary dies during the pendency of the action. See, e.g., White v. United States, 543 F.3d 1330 (Fed. Cir. 2008) ().

Id. at 449-50, 104 S.Ct. 2501. The Court held that the “inevitable discovery” exception to the exclusionary rule applied because a search party, conducted entirely independently of the police interrogation of the defendant, was in the area of the body and would have discovered it even without the defendant’s statement.

Teamsters Pub. & Law Enforcement ### Response: holding that barring appeal from an order that vacates an arbitration award and directs a rehearing is consistent with the policy of barring an immediate appeal from the granting of a new trial in a civil case " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: stated above, the intervention is for the limited purpose of objecting to Judge Boyle’s decision. If the motions were denied, the Court would still have to address Liggett’s objections. Further, in an effort to avoid delaying these proceedings the putative intervenors have already filed their objections, the consideration of which are contingent upon the Court’s decision with respect to these motions. Accordingly, the Court finds that the only possible prejudice the plaintiffs might face is the added expense of answering the extra objections, a condition the Court finds an insufficient basis to deny the Rule 24 motions. (ii) Disposition of an interest which the intervenors would otherwise be unable to protect For the sake of brevity, the Court will address together both (3d Cir.1979) () (collecting cases). As the D.C. Circuit stated ### Response: recognizing intervention to assert both the attorneyclient and work product privileges " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: plain language of the statute, which refers to persons “born ... of parents both of whom are citizens of the United States” and pertains only to the acquisition of citizenship “at birth.” See Marquez-Marquez v. Gonzales, 455 F.3d 548, 556-57 (5th Cir.2006) (rejecting the same argument based upon a plain reading of the statute). Accordingly, we reject Colaian-ni’s contention that he acquired citizenship pursuant to former § 301(a)(3) as a result of his adoption. III. Equal Protection: Former INA §§ 320-322 We review Colaianni’s equal protection claim under a rational basis standard. See 140 L.Ed.2d 575 (1998) (“Congress obviously has a powerful interest in fostering ties with the child’s citizen parent and the United States during his or her formative years.”); Smart, 401 F.3d at 122 ().

DEA offered no explanation for its decision to revoke Dr. Morall’s registration while declining to revoke the registration of any other physician in a comparable context, or even under significantly more troubling circumstances. The decision to revoke Dr. Morall’s registration, therefore, constitutes such arbitrary decisionmaking that it cannot withstand the most deferential of judicial review. See Gulf Power Co. v. FERC, 983 F.2d 1095, 1098-1100 (D.C.Cir.1993) (). Indeed, an agency’s need to explain contrary ### Response: holding that the sanction the agency imposed was not rationally arrived at on this record and was wholly disproportionate to the error petitioner committed where inter alia the agency did not explain why it had not taken the same position in similar circumstances in the past " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: upheld because it was neither arbitrary nor capricious. 1. ERISA Exhaustion Requirements Defendant’s motion for summary judgment on the ground that Smith has failed to exhaust his administrative remedies will be denied because, in fact, Smith has exhausted his administrative remedies. “[C]ourts require exhaustion of administrative remedies prior to hearing an action for a denial of ERISA benefits.” Harrow v. Prudential Ins. Co. of America, 279 F.3d 244, 252 (3d Cir.2002). A plain-' tiff can satisfy the exhaustion requirement either by completing the appeal process under the benefit plan or by showing that the claim was “deemed denied” after the plan administrator failed to address the claim within the time frame provided by the plan. See Gritzer v. CBS, Inc., 275 F.3d 291 (3d Cir.2002) ().

See Natural Gas Pipeline Co. of America v. Pool, 124 S.W.3d 188,199 (Tex.2003); Willis v. Maverick, 760 S.W.2d 642, 644 (Tex.1988). Statutes of limitations also prevent fraudulent and stale claims from surprising the other party. See Pool, 124 S.W.3d at 199; Hallaway v. Thompson, 148 Tex. 471, 478, 226 S.W.2d 816, 820 (1950). However, allowing a “John Doe” petition to toll limitations would expand the period for filing claims indefinitely, discourage prompt investigation and resolution of claims, and potentially deny defendants otherwise available defenses. See Moore v. Michelin Tire Co., 603 N.W.2d 513, 523 (S.D.1999); see also Grobe v. McBryde, 105 Ariz. 577, 468 P.2d 936, 939-40 (1970) (); Lunn v. American Maint.

To the extent the defendants seek dismissal of the liberty interest claim under Rule 12(b)(6), the motion will be denied. 3.Interrogations Stultz also claims that Holcomb, Connaughton, Esposito, Thorpe, Hill, Penny, and Howard denied him due process by interrogating him on three separate occasions without advising him that he was under investigation or being considered for disciplinary action. Upon review of the amended complaint, the court concludes that Stultz has not sufficiently alleged that the interrogations deprived him of a constitutionally protected liberty or property interest. See Wootten v. Commonwealth, No. 6:14-CV-00013, 2016 WL 1345276, at *14 n. 8, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 35949, at *43 n. 8 (W.D.Va. Mar. 23, 2015) (Moon, J.) (). Accordingly, the court will dismiss this ### Response: holding that similar allegations were insufficient to state a due process claim " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in order to ensure constitutional compliance. Rule 11 provides: “A defendant may plead not guilty, guilty or, with the consent of the court, nolo contendere. The court may refuse to accept a plea of guilty, and shall not accept such plea or a plea of nolo con-tendere without first addressing the defendant personally and determining that the plea is made voluntarily with understanding of the nature of the charge and the consequences of the plea. If a defendant refuses to plead or if the court refuses to accept a plea of guilty or if a defendant corporation fails to appear, the court shall enter a plea of not guilty. The court shall not enter a judgment upon a plea of guilty or nolo contendere unless it is satisfied that there is a factual basis for the plea.” See Moniz, 938 A.2d at 695 (); State v.

(emphasis added). 4 . Several other state appellate courts have also permitted the trier of fact to consider extrinsic evidence in circumstances similar to those surrounding the August 2010 Agreement. See Gonzales v. Gauna, 28 N.M. 55, 206 P. 511, 513 (N.Mex.1922) (); Schuster v.

See Fed. R.App. P. 28(a)(9); Brinkmann v. Dallas County Deputy Sheriff Abner, 813 F.2d 744, 748 (5th Cir.1987) (stating that this court will not raise and discuss legal issues that an appellant has failed to assert). In any event, Plaintiffs’ argument is without merit. It is well-settled that parole is “part of the penalty for the initial offense,” Johnson v. United States, 529 U.S. 694, 700, 120 S.Ct. 1795, 146 L.Ed.2d 727 (2000), and that “once the original sentence has been imposed in a criminal case, further proceedings with respect to that sentence [have not been] subject to Sixth Amendment protections.” United States v. Work, 409 F.3d 484, 491 (1st Cir.2005); United States v. Hinson, 429 F.3d 114, 119 (5th Cir.2005) (). V.

However, this issue may be relevant to a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel, which we do not reach. 2 . Section 90.403 provides in relevant part: ""Relevant evidence is inadmissible if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of issues, misleading the jury, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence.” 3 . Czubak, 570 So.2d at 929 (concluding that the photographs of the victim’s body had little or no relevance because they could not establish identity, were not probative as to the cause of death, and bore little relevance to the circumstances surrounding the murder, and that any relevance was outweighed by the shocking and inflammatory nature of the photographs); Williams, 834 So.2d at 926 (); Kirby, 625 So.2d at 53-54 (holding that the ### Response: holding that because the photograph of the victim was for identification purposes only and the victims military service was never discussed at trial even if the photograph did evoke sympathy from the jury it was not reversible error to admit it " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: claim, which he purports to have raised in a second pending motion to reopen before the BIA. Indeed, the BIA may consider Zhu’s motion without this case being remanded, see 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(a), and should the BIA deny his second motion to reopen, Zhu may file a petition for review of that decision, see Durant v. INS, 393 F.3d 113, 115 (2d Cir.2004) (recognizing that orders denying motions to reopen are treated as final orders separate from final orders of removal and that such orders require separate petitions for review). Moreover, we will not exercise any inherent authority we may possess to remand this case with instructions for the BIA to consider Zhu’s evidence of the ineffective assistance of his prior counsel. See Xiao Xing Ni v. Gonzales, 494 F.3d 260, 262 (2d Cir.2007) ().

Here, neither party disputes the existence nor validity of the arbitration agreement. Therefore, I concur in the majority’s decision to compel arbitration. However, I would remand all other issues to the arbitrator, including the issues of whether the arbitration provision was waived or breached, and therefore dissent to the extent the court holds otherwise. See Howsam, 537 U.S. a 43, 46 (1st Cir.2005) (considering question of waiver after the ""AAA dismissed the Tyco demand for arbitration ... for lack of written consent”); PPG Indus., Inc. v.

Plaintiffs claim that the excluded evidence would have called the credibility of several of Apollo’s witnesses into question. This Court reviews a trial court’s evidentiary rulings for abuse of discretion. Townsend, 31 F.3d at 267. Fed.R.Evid. 608(b) states: Specific instances of the conduct of a witness for the purpose of attacking or supporting the witness’ credibility, other than conviction of crime as provided by rule 609, may not be proved by extrinsic evidence. By its language, Rule 608(b) clearly prevents the Plaintiffs from presenting evidence of specific instances of untruthful conduct by certain Apollo witness to show that these witnesses had a propensity for untruthfulness. 28 ChaRles Alan Weight & VictoR James Gold, Federal Practice and Procedure § 6117 (1993) (). In addition, Fed.R.Evid. 403 allows the ### Response: recognizing that under the proper application of rule 608b extrinsic evidence of specific instances of bad conduct is made inadmissible when offered to prove a witnesss character for untruthfulness " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: most like a prison, Judge Gleeson applied the Covino/Tumer standard. See id. This was correct. The Plaintiff was confined for an extended period of time in a prison-like environment, and it appears that he was charged with felonies, see 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1028. In the environment where the Plaintiff was held, the lesser reasonable suspicion standard would jeopardize prison officials’ ability to maintain security. As Judge Gleeson recognized, even if the precise standard governing intrusive searches of the Plaintiff at the MDC might not have been clearly established in 2001, it was clearly established that even the standard most favorable to prison officials required that strip and body-cavity searches be rationally related to legitimate government purposes. Cf. Hodges, 712 F.2d at 35 (). The complaint alleges that the Plaintiff was ### Response: holding that a plaintiff stated a fourth amendment claim where consecutive bodycavity searches were unnecessary " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (“This Court is of the view that, with the exception of extreme cases where transfer or release might be a necessary remedy, most challenges to the constitutional adequacy of medical care should proceed as civil rights claims.... ”). The First Circuit’s ruling in Brennan v. Cunningham, that a prisoner’s claim for reinstatement in a halfway house/work release program could proceed as a habeas petition, supports this position. 813 F.2d 1, 4-5 (1st Cir.1987). Therefore, Fox’s claim that his misclassification resulted in denial of transfer to a halfway house is more appropriately construed as a habeas petition. See Kane, 319 F.Supp.2d at 215 (treating an improperly filed habeas petition as if it were filed as a civil rights claim); see also Fierro v. Gomez, 77 F.3d 301, 305 (9th Cir.1996) (), vacated on other grounds, 519 U.S. 918, 117 ### Response: holding that a court may construe a section 1983 complaint as a habeas petition and vice versa " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 509 (N.J.Super.Ct.App.Div.1989). There is no question that the proceedings before the ISP Resentencing Panel implicate important state interests. However, there is a real question over whether there is an adequate opportunity, even if the proceedings can be considered judicial in nature, for the Plaintiff to raise constitutional challenges. This is because there is no opportunity for the Plaintiff to appeal the decisions of the ISP Panel to any New Jersey court and present his constitutional arguments to such a court. Without an opportunity to appeal to a true New Jersey state court it is likely that the Plaintiff will not be afforded an adequate opportunity to raise his constitutional challenges. See Amanatullah v. Colorado Bd. of Medical Examiners, 187 F.3d 1160, 1164 (10th Cir.1999) (); Port Auth.

See, e.g., In re Tabone, Inc., 175 B.R. 855, 859 n. 8 (Bankr.D.N.J.1994) (noting that section 6323(b)(6)(A) provides that the township’s tax liens hold priority status over the federal lien); Hinkley & Donovan, 424 F.Supp. at 1019; Amos, 287 F.Supp. at 890-91. Thus, the federal lien remained valid and survived the County’s tax sale. Because the IRS was not given notice of the County’s tax sale after the IRS had filed notice of its lien on the property, the lien attached to the property and Fox purchased the property subject to the lien. 26 U.S.C.A. § 7425(b)(1) ().

By the time Ducks-worth filed his PCR motion, the Parole Board had acknowledged Ducksworth’s parole eligibility of August 2008, had given him a hearing in October 2009, and had denied him parole. So the circuit court’s consideration of Ducksworth’s claim that his parole-eligibility date was actually August 2008 would be of no practical benefit to Ducksworth. Had he brought the matter to the circuit court’s attention before August 2008, the circuit court could have ordered the MDOC to recalculate Ducks-worth’s parole-eligibility date. But by 2011, any controversy regarding Ducks-worth’s parole-eligibility no longer existed. See id. (). ¶ 18.

The second, more general lookout was based on the fact that a previous immigration violation included in the government's records suggested that possible imposters were using the name Sandy Garcia and his corresponding birth date and A number. 3 .

But nothing about the fact that Mr. Allen was one of the select few the District screened and scheduled to take its PAT on that day made it less foreseeable that he might get hurt or fall ill during the PAT or converts the District’s duty to care for all of the test takers into a public duty. At least in earlier cases, we have recognized that a duty of care can flow to a “class” of persons.

For similar reasons, these claims do not lack “an arguable basis in law or fact.” Berry, 192 F.3d at 507. Accordingly, we vacate the district court’s judgment in part and remand for further consideration of Burnette’s retaliation claims. Because Burnette’s brief on appeal does not address the district court’s denial of his motions for a temporary restraining order, for appointment of counsel below, for an evidentiary hearing, or for leave to amend his complaint a second time, any objections to the denial of these motions are deemed abandoned.

While fending off the attack, Reverend Taylor blocked his head with his arm and suffered torn ligaments to his right shoulder, for which surgery has been recommended. This was sufficient to demonstrate Appellant recklessly engaged in conduct which placed Reverend Taylor in danger of death or serious bodily injury. See Commonwealth v.

The only written evidence pertaining to the survey is a brief description of how it was carried out and copies of numerous responses. The survey is of no value and the Court will disregard it. The Court has no basis upon which to judge the survey The Court does not know how the respondents were selected or how they were questioned. Furthermore, nothing in the record suggests that the survey has any statistical or scientific merit. The Court cannot say that the survey amounts to anything more than evidence of generalized and unfounded opposition to the proposed cell site. See BellSouth Mobility, Inc. v.

In any event, Neverson’s § 2241 claims provide no basis for vacating his deporta tion order. First, Neverson has withdrawn his argument that the INS’s use of his manslaughter conviction as a ground for deportation represents an unauthorized retroactive application of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). See Choeum v. INS, 129 F.3d 29, 37 (1st Cir.1997) ().

In keeping with these decisions and our mandate to regulate the practice of law in Colorado, we construe our ban on the unauthorized practice of law to include the practice of law in Colorado federal courts. It is certainly true that the Colorado federal courts can allow individuals to engage in legal practice in federal courts who would not otherwise be allowed to practice law in Colorado state courts. See Sperry v. Florida ex rel. Fla. Bar, 373 U.S. 379, 83 S.Ct. 1322, 10 L.Ed.2d 428 (1963) ().

Of course, the deputies had already searched the property, thus demonstrating to Mr. Grant that they had an absolute right to search and that his “consent” to any further search was a mere formality which he could not refuse. See Gonzalez v. State, 578 So.2d 729, 733-34 (Fla. 3d DCA 1991). Under the circumstances before us, Mr. Grant could only conclude that refusing consent would be “a futile gesture amounting to no more than ‘closing the barn door after the horse is out.’ ” United States v. Chambers, 395 F.3d 563, 570 (6th Cir. 2005); United States v. Gamez, 389 F.Supp.2d 975, 982 (S.D.Ohio 2005); see also Norman v. State, 379 So.2d 643, 648 (Fla.1980) ().

The general rule regarding the written reports of medical advisors who have not personally examined a claimant is that such reports deserve little weight in the overall evaluation of disability. Vargas v. Sullivan, 898 F.2d 293, 295-96 (2d Cir.1990). This is because the advisers’ assessment of what other doctors find is hardly a basis for competent evaluation without a personal examination of the claimant. Id.; see also Hidalgo v.

App. 1, 336 S.E.2d 666 (1985) (declining to apply the MVA even where the cause of action was the tort of wrongful conversion because the dispute primarily involved, “not an automobile accident case,” but, rather, security interest and entrustment issues arising out of “a business transaction in which the policies underlying the private UCC law [were] fully implicated”). The fact that the Hayes Court expressly limited its holding to these circumstances has been emphasized by our courts on several occasions. See, e.g., id. at 9, 336 S.E.2d at 671 (); Roseboro Ford, Inc. v. Bass, 77 N.C.

It is not clear from the record whether the district court granted a six-level variance because it determined that a sentence of seventy-eight months was appropriate notwithstanding the guidelines range, or whether, instead, the district court would have granted a six level variance from the advisory guidelines range even if the guidelines range had been lower, i.e., if the position of trust enhancement had not been applied. Under these circumstances, we hold that the application of the position of trust enhancement was error, that the error was plain, and that the error affected Evans’s substantial rights. See United States v. Armstead, 552 F.3d 769, 785 (9th Cir.2008) ().

Plaintiff argues that a general or dishonorable discharge reflecting lack of fitness for military service triggers such a stigma. The government argues no such stigma has yet occurred. The parties dispute what form of discharge is likely in the case of Major Witt. The government argues that an honorable discharge is most likely. The Court’s own research suggests that 82% of all discharges under DADT have been honorable. Certainly, the distinction of Major Witt’s career would support an honorable discharge. Involuntary separation from military service with an honorable discharge, absent something more, does not infringe upon a constitutionally protected liberty interest. See Sims, 505 F.2d at 862-63 (); benShalom, 489 F.Supp. at 971-972; Diliberti ### Response: holding that liberty interests are involved only when separation from the military is carried out in such a fashion as to stigmatize the separated member typically this would be a dishonorable discharge " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: not warrant dismissal of this claim. Sean McGuigan and Ronald Mancuso clearly would have reason to admit to less than what was actually stolen and that the criminal enterprise terminated sooner than it actually did. His assertion that the thefts continued through only September of 2004 would limit his own liability for his participation in the enterprise and would potentially lead to a shorter term of incarceration. Such admissions clearly are not binding on Plaintiff in this civil action. Further, the Court finds that these documents are not properly considered at the motion to dismiss stage because Plaintiff only makes reference to these events in two isolated instances in the complaint, in what is a clear attempt to lay a foundation for when it 232 F.Supp.2d 273, 276 (S.D.N.Y.2002) (); Madu, Edozie & Madu, P.C. v.

Oklahoma, 455 U.S. 104, 102 S.Ct. 869, 71 L.Ed.2d 1 (1982), when it said that a capital defendant has the right to present at the sentencing phase all evidence about the “circumstances of the offense.” The circumstances of the murder in this case are key. Of course, it is true that Howard did not have to be the “triggerman” to be eligible for the death penalty. See Tison v. Arizona, 481 U.S. 137, 107 S.Ct. 1676, 95 L.Ed.2d 127 (1987). Eligibility, however, does not mean that capital punishment must be imposed. A jury can sentence a person to death in accordance with the Eighth Amendment only after it considers all of the. mitigating evidence the defendant wishes to present. See Lockett, 438 U.S. at 608, 98 S.Ct. at 2966-67 (); Hitchcock v.

Further, Appellees state that the statutory framework does not permit the State “[to] manipulate the time period within which its own objections could be filed by delaying in filing the award with the court, despite the mandatory obligation of Section 21.048 of the Texas Property Code.” As stated, “The plain language of a statute is the surest guide to the Legislature’s intent.” Chatha, 381 S.W.3d at 507. Here, the plain language of the statutory provisions reveals that only one provision governs when objections to the commissioners’ award must be filed. That provision is section 21.018(a). See State v. Garland, 963 S.W.2d 95, 97 (Tex.App.-Austin 1998, pet. denied) (). Undeniably, section 21.048’s language, ### Response: holding that under plain statutory language starting point for computing deadline to file objections to commissioners award is actual filing date of the award irrespective of whether the state which filed award for commissioners had failed to timely file award pursuant to section 21048 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: and M"" of section 40-11.5-102(4) ""shall be presumed prima facie evidence of an independent contractor relationship between the parties to the lease."" Section 40-11.5-102(4) further provides that this presumption may be overcome by clear and convincing evidence of an employment relationship between the parties to the lease ""considering only factors not in the lease."" Contrary to the position taken in the Panel's answer brief, we conclude that, under qualifying cireumstances, the presumption of an independent contractor relationship under section 40-11.5-102(4) could apply to the determination of the status of a worker as an employee or independent contractor for unemployment tax liability purposes. See Frank C. Klein & Co. v. Colo. Comp. Ins.

Despite Asuncion-Pimental’s reference to the illegality of a felon’s possessing a firearm, later cases have clarified that this was not the dispositive factor in the case. Instead, the Second Circuit has extended its holding to encompass all of the conditions of supervised release recommended in § 5D1.3(d), as long as the defendant meets the specific prerequisites enumerated by the Sentencing Guidelines. See, e.g., United States v. Thomas, 299 F.3d 150, 154 (2d Cir.2002) (); cf. id. at 154-55 (holding that a condition ### Response: holding that the failure to articulate orally that conditions 5d13d2 and 3 apply to a defendants sentence of supervised release does not create a conflict with the judgment imposing these conditions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as an “an unlawful act under subsection (a) of section 1311 of this title.” See 33 U.S.C. § 1365(f)(1). In turn, 33 U.S.C. § 1311(a) provides that “the discharge of any pollutant by any person shall be unlawful.” The term “the discharge of any pollutant” is defined as the “addition of any pollutant to navigable waters from a point source,” 33 U.S.C. § 1362(12), while “navigable waters” is defined as “the waters of the United States, including the territorial seas,” 33 U.S.C. § 1362(7). Congress intended the latter term to be given “the broadest constitutional interpretation.” United States v. Rivera Torres, 826 F.2d 151, 154 (1st Cir.1987) (quoting Conference Report on Section 2770, reprinted in 1 A Legislative History of the Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, at 178) ().

We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 2253. We affirm. Le contends his sentence under California’s “three strikes” law violates the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. We conclude that the California state courts did not unreasonably apply clearly established law in upholding Le’s sentence. See Ewing v. California, — U.S. -, 123 S.Ct. 1179, 1190, 155 L.Ed.2d 108 (2003) (acknowledging broad discretion possessed by legislatures and holding that three-strikes sentence of 25 years to life for felony grand theft was not grossly disproportionate); Lockyer v.

As a matter of law, the presence of unsightly .objects, or eyesores, does not constitute substantial interference with a person’s property right (even if placed intentionally). See e.g. Dugway, Ltd. v. Fizzinoglia, 166 A.D.2d 836, 837, 563 N.Y.S.2d 175, 176-177 (3d Dep’t.1990) ().

But it is undisputed that racist symbol was not part of the action figure display that lies at the heart of Ms. Toomer’s racially hostile work environment claim. Ms. Toomer’s argument otherwise is that there is no “standard” that permits a court to determine “as a matter of law” when an African-American perceives a noose. PL’s Objs., ECF No. 99 at 14. Thus, she contends that whether or not the white cord in this case could fairly be described as a noose, she was confronted by “a horrific and frightening image,” and thus she was subjected to a hostile work environment.

Ling Wang used $60,000 of these funds to cure mortgage arrears owing on the home in which both she, the Debtor and their 12-year old daughter reside.. The remaining $10,000 has not been accounted for. Debtor admits to having lied to Roger Berman about the purpose of the loan and the ability to repay him and falsely testifying about the same. From these facts, the court readily infers Debtor’s intent to defraud his creditor, Roger Berman. Salomon v. Kaiser (In re Kaiser), 722 F.2d 1574, 1588 (2d Cir.1983) ().

Because both Settlemeyer and McCluney testified no written document existed governing conveyance of the properties between the parties, we only address the issue of part performance. At trial, McCluney denied an oral agreement existed between the parties in which she was to convey the properties to Settlemeyer. Furthermore, although Settlemeyer testified he thought such an agreement existed between the parties, he stated the parties did not orally express this agreement. Rather, he testified he trusted McCluney to act as he desired. Based on our review of the evidence contained in the record, we hold Settlemeyer did not present clear evidence of an oral agreement between the parties.

This may be the most insidious part of the majority’s decision on a waiver of arbitration. Allowing mere attempts to settle to have the effect of waiving arbitration is a very pernicious holding. It is also incoherent with essential law and policy. So preferred is settlement of commercial disputes that the supreme court has forcefully articulated a strong public policy encouraging it.

Third, the court of appeals’ method for addressing motions to recall the mandate includes an initial step in which motions deemed lacking in merit are denied with out further review, which suggests that the prompt and summary denial of Mr. Jones’ motion does not necessarily indicate procedural default. Together, these considerations suggest that the court of appeals, as likely as not, overlooked the untimeliness of Mr. Jones’ motion and simply determined that his claims lacked merit. At a minimum, this Court has “good reason” to question whether the alternative was the case. Cf. Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. at 740, 111 S.Ct. 2546 (); Jimenez v.

In a nutshell, the rationale behind this general rule is “[t]he Fourth Amendment proscribes unreasonable searches and seizures; it does not proscribe voluntary cooperation.” Id. at 439, 111 S.Ct. 2382. However, the Supreme Court has further stated, “When a law enforcement officer claims authority to search a home under a warrant, he announces in effect that the occupant has no Cir.1994) (). But cf.

Id., at 1358. Based on this assessment, the court concluded that the trial court had erred by refusing to afford protection to the confidential communications between Redmond and Beyer. The United States Courts of Appeals do not uniformly agree that the federal courts should recognize a psychotherapist privilege under Rule 501.

We recognize that some jurisdictions have endorsed a complete ban on the use of preliminary hearing testimony at trial, while others have been more permissive of the inclusion of such testimony, based on the nature of the proceedings. See, e.g., People v. Fry, 92 P.3d 970, 972 (Colo.2004) (en banc) (); State v. Lopez, 150 N.M. 179, 258 P.3d 458, ### Response: holding preliminary hearings in colorado do not provide adequate opportunity for crossexamination " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of Adam's minority. As to Monica, the requirement runs until the end of the alimony term or until she obtains health insurance through employment. 3 . Monica regularly receives the child support and alimony payments required of Russell by the divorce decree. 4 . See Schedule J, dated April 4, 1996. I note that Russell’s monthly income has increased substantially over the $2,383.33 he listed on Schedule I at filing. 5 . The debts at issue here are Russell's obligations to hold Monica harmless from certain of her creditors. Such obligations as Russell himself may have to those creditors (by contract or otherwise in the absence of the divorce decree) are outside the purview of § 523(a)(5) and § 523(a)(15). See, e.g., Ianke v. Ianke (In re Ianke), 185 B.R. 297, 300 (Bankr.E.D.Mo.1995) (). 6 . Section 523(a)(5) provides: (a) A ### Response: recognizing that a divorce decree obligation to hold an exspouse harmless from a debt creates an obligation between the debtor and the exspouse separate from any obligation the debtor may owe to the creditor " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that granting relief in its case will not have been a “futile gesture.” Boyd v. Bulala, 905 F.2d 764, 769 (4th Cir.1990). Essentially, the law “requires a proffer of evidence which would permit a finding for the [moving] party or which would establish a valid counterclaim.” Augusta Fiberglass Coatings, Inc. v. Fodor Contracting Corp., 843 F.2d 808, 812 (4th Cir.1988). To prove a meritorious claim or defense, the movant need not show an actual likelihood of success at trial but must make allegations that, if established at trial, would constitute a valid claim or defense. See 12 James Wm. Moore et al., Moore’s Federal Practice § 60.24[2] (3d ed.1999). See, e.g., Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen & Helpers Union, Local 59 v. Superline Transp. Co., 953 F.2d 17, 21 (1st Cir.1992) (). For purposes of gauging the movant’s claim or ### Response: holding that although the movant need not establish an ironclad claim or defense which will guarantee success at trial it must at least establish that it possesses a potentially meritorious claim or defense which if proven will bring success in its wake " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Family Health did so, and it repeatedly certified to the government, as it was contractually obligated to do, that it had not. As discussed above, Relators have described specific incidences of the well pled “cherry picking” scheme. Therefore, their inability to provide the certifications’ dates, identification numbers, or verbatim content does not preclude them from adequately pleading a false claim. See Lusby, 570 F.3d at 854. As the Seventh Circuit has recognized, a relator is unlikely to have access to the particular certifications, and therefore precluding a plaintiff from asserting a False Claims Act cause of action because the relator does not have access to the particular paperwork would excise “a big bite out of qui tarn litigation.” Id. But cf. Fowler, 496 F.3d at 742 (). IY.

However, we find that the lack of such a specification impairs our ability to carry out our responsibilities e some basis for distinguishing between well-reasoned conclusions arrived at after a comprehensive consideration of all relevant factors, and mere boiler-plate approval phrased in appropriate language but unsupported by evaluation of the facts or analysis of the law.” Protective Committee for Indep. Stockholders of TMT Trailer Ferry, Inc. v. Anderson, 390 U.S. 414, 434, 88 S.Ct. 1157, 20 L.Ed.2d 1 (1968). At least one other Circuit has encountered the same difficulty in the qualified-immunity context that motivates us to act in a supervisory capacity here. See Beck v. Schwartz, 992 F.2d 870, 871 (8th Cir.1993) (). Our approach differs from Beck’s. We cannot ### Response: holding that it was error for the district court to overrule appellants motion for summary judgment without reference to the qualified immunity defense " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: also argues that the Magnuson-Moss Act does not apply to its written warranty because, it says, a mobile, or manufactured, home is not a ""consumer good” for purposes of the FAA, 15 U.S.C. § 2301(1), and that the Magnuson-Moss Act does not preclude enforcement under the FAA of a binding arbitration agreement contained in a written warranty. We do not decide those issues, because we interpret the arbitration provision not to foreclose McCollough ultimately from suing Homes of Legend. Homes of Legend also challenges the partial summary judgment entered in favor of McCollough. However, that issue is not properly before this Court, because the partial summary judgment is not a final, appealable judgment. See Precision American Corp. v. Leasing Serv. Corp., 505 So.2d 380, 382 (Ala.1987) (). JOHNSTONE, Justice (dissenting).

The Village of Shiocton is one-half mile south of the Warnings' home. ¶ 117. Thousands of buildings across the state were built in floodfringe areas before the enactment of floodplain regulations. The language in Wis. Admin. Code §NR 116.13(2) cannot be read literally without depriving counties and the DNR of the ability to deal reasonably with these ""existing lawful"" structures. Wis. Admin. Code § NR 116.03(34). If the law did not afford some reasonable means to address variances for nonconforming structures, it might not pass constitutional muster. Cf. Building Height Cases, 181 Wis. 519, 532, 195 N.W. 544 (1923) (); County of Sauk v. Trager, 113 Wis. 2d 48, 56, ### Response: holding that an act of the legislature limiting the height of buildings was not applicable where substantial rights of a party had vested before the act was enacted " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: for factual findings in such cases is “somewhat unclear,” United States v. Grenier, 513 F.3d 632, 635-36 (6th Cir.2008) (collecting cases), but that does not matter here since Sanford does not challenge any of the district court’s factual findings. The parties do not dispute that Sanford’s domestic assault convictions under Mich. Comp. Laws § 750.81(2) qualify as crimes of “domestic violence” (emphasis added) as required by 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)(9). In United States v. Castleman, 695 F.3d 582 (2012), this Court held that to categorically meet the definition of “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence” in § 921(a)(33)(A), a state crime must require “violent force, ... [force] capable of causing physical pain or injury to another person.” Id. d. at 586-87 (quoting Johnson v. United Sta 008) (); United States v.

The hiring evidence is admissible, and Plaintiff presents circumstantial evidence of gender discrimination in the difference between his salary and Gervasoni’s salary in 2000-1. . To rebut Plaintiffs prima facie case, Defendant asserts a gender-neutral justification for Gervasoni’s salary. Defendant asserts a “market forces” defense under the “factor other than sex” exception to the Equal Pay Act. Though Defendant’s justification is directed at the Equal Pay Act claim, it is equally viable as a defense to Plaintiffs Title VII claims. “Title VII incorporates the Equal Pay Act defenses, so a defendant who proves one of the defenses cannot be held liable under either the Equal Pay Act or Title VII.” Maxwell, 803 F.2d at 446. See Gunther, 452 U.S. at 168, 101 S.Ct. 2242 (). Therefore, if Defendant’s justification is ### Response: holding that title vii incorporates statutory epa defenses " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: one of two possible definitions: (A) [an offense that] has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or property of another, or (B) that by its nature, involves a substantial risk that physical force against the person or property of another may be used in the course of committing the offense. 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(3). The first test is referred to as the elements clause, and the second test is known as the residual clause. A crime is a crime of violence if it satisfies either the elements clause or the residual clause. See id. The defendants argue that armed bank robbery does not meet requirements of the elements clause and that the residual clause is unconstitutionally vague. This Court finds that armed bank robbery is (3d Cir. 2012) ().

See Boulware, 604 F.3d at 839-40 (explaining that comparative weakness of a defendant’s argument(s) for a lower sentence is one reason to decline to remand a case for further explanation). Finally, we have little doubt that the district court considered this argument, as it was the only point advanced by counsel, and the Government specifically addressed it in its sentencing argument. See id. at 839 (). For these reasons, we conclude that, even ### Response: holding that even if the district court erred by not adequately explaining its reasons for rejecting boulwares argument for a belowguidelines sentence we are quite confident that the district court undertook that analysis and considered boulwares argument " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: while the federal habeas corpus petition was pending, Petitioner filed a second PCRA petition, raising a single claim based on Atkins v. Virginia, 536 U.S. 304, 122 S.Ct. 2242, 153 L.Ed.2d 335 (2002), which held that execution of mentally retarded criminals violates the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. The PCRA court dismissed Appellee’s second PCRA petition without a hearing because Appellee’s federal habeas corpus petition was pending. Appellee appealed to our Court, requesting a remand to the PCRA court on his Atkins claim. The Commonwealth did not oppose Appellee’s request. On October 21, 2003, this Court reversed the PCRA court’s order and remanded for further PCRA proceedings, citing Commonwealth v. Whitney, 572 Pa. 468, 817 A.2d 473 (2003) (). Commonwealth v.

Additionally, Defendant never cross-examined Mr. Lindsey regarding whether he tested his theories. Instead, Defendant argued Mr. Lindsey’s testimony was unreliable because he failed to rule out all other possible ignition sources, because the fire destroyed substantial portions of the coffee maker, and was primarily premised on missing materials. The Court cannot now assess whether Mr. Lindsey did or did not test his theories and what effect, if any, they would have on the admissibility of Mr. Lindsey’s testimony. As the first mention of this argument was in its motion for a new trial, the Court concludes Defendant has waived this argument. See Palmerin v.

In Green, 910 F.2d at 296, for example, the Fifth Circuit found, between an employee and the doctor conducting an annual physical, a limited doctor-patient relationship that was sufficient to give rise to a duty of care in conducting the examination and reporting its results. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has similarly recognized an obligation to report abnormal results obtained during a preemployment physical examination, despite the absence of a doctor-patient relationship. Daly v. United States, 946 F.2d 1467, 1468 (9th Cir.1991) (interpreting Washington law); see also Betesh, 400 F.Supp. at 245-47 (); Meena v.

Under this provision of the Act, private citizens are precluded from bringing a particular civil penalty action when the EPA is diligently prosecuting an administrative penalty action for the same violations, or when a state is diligently prosecuting an action under a state law ""comparable"" to section 1319(g). Section 1319(g) deals exclusively with administrative penalties. A. Comparability: Penalties Courts have differed over whether section 1319(g)(6)(A) precludes citizen suits where the state enforcement action does not seek damages.

Because these issues have not been properly considered by the Commission, the Commission having included admittedly excluded evidence on one and having failed to make any findings whatsoever on the other, the circuit court was correct in remanding the matters to the Commission. See Baldwin v. James River Corp., 304 S.C. 485, 487, 405 S.E.2d 421, 422-23 (Ct.App.1991) (wherein the court of appeals remanded the case to the workers’ compensation commission because the commission made insufficient findings of fact so as to permit appellate review of the commission’s decision denying an award); Drake v.

But police officers are not required to administer Miranda warnings to everyone whom they question. Nor is the requirement of warnings to be imposed simply because the questioning takes place in the station house, or because the questioned person is the one whom the police suspect.

The court agreed with Citizens, holding that the plain language of § 2 meant that Garran’s § 1A declaration and corresponding homestead exemption was defeated and discharged by his wife’s subsequent § 1 declaration. We agree that this is the proper reading of the statutory language. Garran’s wife filed a declaration of homestead under § 1 on February 21, 2001. The declaration of homestead under § 1 is an acquisition of a homestead “for the benefit of [the] family.” Id. § 1. Therefore, by his wife’s filing of a § 1 declaration, Garran, as her spouse and member of her family, “acquired” a homestead on February 21, 2001.

The Court thus proceeds to balance the private interest in privacy and the public interest in disclosure. Upon consideration of Pinson’s articulated public interest and its own independent evaluation, the Court concludes that the public interest in the disclosure here is likely very small. The disclosed portions of the SAMs memoran-da reveal considerable information about the operation of the SAMs program. The incremental value of revealing the identity of the affected individuals—either directly or indirectly through identifiable information—would provide only a small benefit to the public interest.

We have generally limited the application of the judgment charge to medical malpractice actions concerning misdiagnosis or the selection of one of two or more generally accepted courses of treatment.

That finding was supported here by evidence of Hilson’s history of drug trafficking and his possession of the money at a time when he was known to be selling crack, as evidenced by his three recent sales to the confidential informant. It was further supported by evidence refuting Hilson’s suggestions that the monies derived from various legitimate sources, such as a student grant, a girlfriend’s tax refund, Hilson’s own bank accounts, or his one-week employment at Wendy’s. With the finding that the seized money constituted drug proceeds, Hilson does not—and cannot—seriously challenge the district court’s calculation that $10,366 would be the proceeds from the sale of 326.5 grams of crack. See United States v. Jones, 531 F.3d at 175 ().

See ORS 305.437 (authorizing sanctions for frivolous or groundless appeals to Tax Court). The Tax Court’s rulings were correct. See Combs v. Dept. of Rev., 331 Or 245, 14 P3d 584 (2000) ().

The use of the term “moneys” in § 326(a) circumscribes the word “disbursed” and suggests that disbursement means something more than monies. See, e.g., In re Lan Assocs. XI, L.P., 192 F.3d 109, 116 (3d Cir.1999) (concluding that the value of a credit bid may not be included in a trustee’s compensation base under § 326(a)); U.S. Trustee v.

Although § 7722 does, by its terms, require VA to inform veterans of “all benefits and services to which they may be entitled” and to assist veterans “to the maximum extent possible ... in the preparation and presentation of claims,” the extent of such a duty will depend on the facts and law involved in a particular case. See Smith (Edward) v. Derwinski, 2 Vet.App. 429, 432 (1992). In this case, VA adopted certain duties as described in part II.B., above, with respect to pension benefits. In carrying out these duties, the Department also satisfied its general § 7722 duties when it informed the appellant in 1979 that he was entitled to pension benefits under the improved pension program and sent him the election card.

There is no petition for K.J.'s adoption involved in this case. 2 . There is also sufficient evidence to hold that the mother neglected her daughter according to another section of the D.C.Code dealing specifically with incarcerated parents. That section provides that a child is neglected if their parent ""is unable to discharge his or her responsibilities to and for the child because of incarceration....” D.C.Code § 16-2301 (9)(A)(iii). For this section to apply, there must be a nexus between the incarceration and the inability to provide care. See In re T.T.C., 855 A.2d 1117, 1119 (D.C.2004) (). Here, there seems to be a similar nexus ### Response: holding an incarcerated fathers actions satisfied the standard for neglect who initially made arrangements for his children to receive adequate care but failed to provide sufficient legal protection so that the childrens drugaddicted mother could not take custody over them " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Jiang Yu, a native and citizen of China, petitions for review of the Board of Immigration Appeals’ order dismissing his appeal from an immigration judge’s (“IJ”) decision denying his application for asylum, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture (“CAT”). Our jurisdiction is governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252. We review for substantial evidence, Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 962 (9th Cir.2004), and we deny in part and dismiss in part the petition for review. Substantial evidence supports the IJ’s adverse credibility determination based on Yu’s admitted post-entry immigration fraud. See Sarvia-Quintanilla v. INS, 767 F.2d 1387, 1393 (9th Cir.1985) (). Further, because the IJ had reason to ### Response: holding that history of dishonesty can support an adverse credibility finding " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: has also presented evidence that creates a reasonable inference that age discrimination was the determinative factor in her termination. The district court found that the firing of older employees during the reorganization period of September 1994 to October 1995 was not sufficient to create an inference of impermissible age discrimination.

E.g., Peterson, 559 P.2d at 191(allowing exclusions based on rules that “comport[ ] with the legitimate goals of the hospital and the rights of the individual and the public”). Moreover, Arizona explicitly gives all hospitals the right to refuse to allow abortions to be performed at the hospital, Ariz.Rev.Stat. § 36-2151, and has prohibited all abortions in public university hospitals except those necessary to save the life of the woman having the abortion, Ariz.Rev.Stat. § 15-1630. Arizona itself does not have the power to prohibit any providers from performing abortions merely because it disapproves of abortion and would like to place obstacles in the way of women seeking abortions.

Indeed, in cases involving celebrity plaintiffs, the mere allegation that the plaintiff was not compensated has been deemed sufficient to satisfy the injury prong. See, e.g., Solano v.

After completion of the trial — which began and concluded on October 15, 2003 — the jury convicted Wyche as to all three counts of the information. On November 12, 2003, the trial court imposed a ten-year sentence as to Counts I and III, credited Wyche with 220 days time served, and ordered a five-year term of probation as to Count II. The trial court also adjudicated Wyche a habitual felony offender under section 775.04, Florida Statutes. On appeal, the First District issued a broad opinion with sweeping language, which affirmed the denial of the motion to suppress and held that deception is largely if not totally irrelevant for purposes of conducting a voluntariness inquiry.

In Cole v. Bone, 993 F.2d 1328 (8th Cir.1993), the Eighth Circuit applied Hodari to determine when a “seizure” occurs for purposes of a Fourth Amendment excessive force claim. David Cole, driving an 18-wheel tractor-trailer truck eastbound on 1-70, sped through a toll booth in Bonner Springs, Kansas, without stopping to pay the toll. Id. at 1330.

It is undisputed that the “unless indicated” language refers to the drawing detail. Thus, the specifications refer the contractor to the drawing detail to determine if the size of the material for the retainers is different than the size quoted in the specifications. See AD. Roe Co., Inc., A.S.B.C.A. No. 23,425, 79-1 BCA ¶ 13,575 ().

See id. 2 . The plaintiffs typed the heading ""Motion for a TRO” on their pleading but crossed it out before filing the document and indicated that they would file a separate motion for a temporary restraining order on the next day. But even if the court had jurisdiction to consider the motion for a temporary restraining order and treated the original pleading as a motion for the restraining order, the court would deny the motion because the plaintiffs have not demonstrated a likelihood of prevailing on the merits and have not demonstrated irreparable harm. See Davenport v. International Bhd. of Teamsters, 166 F.3d 356, 361 (D.C.Cir.1999) ().

Another statute, section 16-3-657, provides that “[t]he testimony of the victim need not be corroborated in prosecutions under §§ 16-3-652 through 16-3-658.” The circuit court charged the jury the above quoted language of section 16-3-657. This was reversible error. “In general, the trial court is required to charge only the current and correct law of South Carolina. ... A jury charge is correct if it contains the correct definition of the law when read as a whole.” Sheppard v. State, 357 S.C. 646, 665, 594 S.E.2d 462, 472 (2004) (citations omitted). Some principles of law, however, are not to be charged to a jury. See, e.g., State v. Grant, 275 S.C. 404, 408, 272 S.E.2d 169, 171 (1980) ().

The NMCGA has not demonstrated that the Proposed Settlement Agreement imposes any legal obligations on it or adversely affects its legal rights any more than the USFS can always do. The NMCGA contends that the Agreement adversely affects the permittees’ interest in maintaining a secure livestock grazing permit for the challenged allotments. See NMCGA’s Response at 6. Because the USFS has the discretion to modify permits as necessary to protect natural resources, the NMCGA cannot assert a legally cognizable interest in maintaining the current terms and conditions of the permits.

Braggs, 511 F.3d 808, 812 (8th Cir.2008)). The district court correctly interpreted and applied the sentencing guidelines. The guidelines provide: “Where a statutorily required minimum sentence is greater than the maximum of the applicable guideline range, the statutorily required minimum sentence shall be the guideline sentence.” U.S.S.G. § 5Gl.l(b). The district court thus properly determined the mandatory minimum sentence of 120 months was the guidelines sentence, and thus the appropriate point from which to depart downward.

If it did not, the State Critical Area Commission was directed to adopt a program for that jurisdiction. In either event, the program had to comply with the criteria in N.R. § 8-1808. See N.R. §§ 8-1809 and 8-1810. Section 8-1808(d) sets forth the requirements for granting a variance from the critical area requirements. Those requirements include a finding that a failure to grant a variance would result in unwarranted hardship to the applicant.

But the gravamen of Coyote Valley’s amended complaint is that the Davis Administration, rather than the Wilson Administration, has refused to negotiate in good faith; and it is against the Davis Administration that Coyote Valley seeks injunctive relief. On the record before us, it appears that the Davis Administration has actively negotiated with Indians tribes, including Coyote Valley, concerning class III gaming, and that it has negotiated despite the absence of any legal obligation to do so. Until Proposition 1A was ratified in March of 2000, the State had no obligation to negotiate with Coyote Valley over the types of class III games covered in the Davis Compact.

As Mr. Freeman fairly argues, the relief sought by the trustee in these three counts could disadvantage the other creditors of PRSI. Thus, it will be up to the appointing court for the PRSI receiver to determine whether the relief sought by the trustee in counts five through seven should be heard in this court.

New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), and asserting that there was insufficient evidence under any standard to show a prior felony conviction. Apprendi, by its express terms, does not apply to prior convictions. See id. at 490, 120 S.Ct. 2348 (indicating that holding applies to facts “[o]ther than the fact of a prior conviction”); see also United States v.

First, our decision holds only that Sheriff Arpaio lacks standing to challenge DACA and DAPA, not that those programs are categorically shielded from suit. Indeed, those programs are currently subject to challenge in a number of other circuits. See Texas, 787 F.3d at 747-55 (upholding Texas’ standing to challenge DAPA based on the costs of providing drivers licenses to DAPA beneficiaries); Ariz. DREAM Act Coal. v.

To this end, we have previously held that a defendant’s Sixth Amendment confrontation right is satisfied even when the district court limits cross-examination to basic information concerning a witness’s prior convictions.

At this time, the Court believes that it is premature to determine whether the FIS actually constitutes a de facto state for the purposes of jurisdiction under the TVPA. The de facto state doctrine requires the Court to make factual findings regarding the activities of the FIS. At this stage, the record contains only the bare allegations of the Plaintiffs. To make the requisite factual findings, the Court will await the further development of the record. 3. Jurisdiction Under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 Because the ATCA supplies jurisdiction in this ease, the Court will not reach the issue of whether 28 U.S.C. § 1331 provides an independent basis for subject matter jurisdiction.

A panel of this court recently determined that abandoned property is subject to lawful seizure without a warrant. Wilson v. State, 825 N.E.2d 49, 51 (Ind.Ct.App.2005). Hence, such property is not subject to Fourth Amendment protection. Miller v. State, 498 N.E.2d 53, 55 (Ind.Ct.App.1986), trans. denied. By the same token, if property is abandoned after a citizen is improperly detained, the evidence is not admissible Wilson, 825 N.E.2d at 51; see also State v.

B. Here, the district court denied Oleson’s motion to amend because the motion to amend was filed after the district court denied Oleson’s underlying § 2255 motion. Apparently, the district court believed that a Rule 15(a) motion cannot, as a matter of law, be brought after a § 2255 habeas motion is denied. To date, this Circuit has not recognized that principle as a rule of law. Rather, we have emphasized that Rule 15 seeks to ensure that cases are . decided on thei because it was filed more than one year after the June 15, 1995 entry of judgment, and more than one year after the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act (“AEDPA”) became effective on April 24, 1996.

The fifth and final step in the Rybicki analysis, requires the district court to decide whether a departure, based on these appropriately classified factors, is, in fact, warranted and reasonable under the circumstances. 96 F.3d at 758; see also United States v. Terry, 142 F.3d 702, 707 (4th Cir.1998). We review the ultimate departure decision for abuse of discretion, and any factual determinations underlying this decision for clear error. Rybicki, 96 F.3d at 758. We find no abuse of discretion in the district court’s decision to depart upward from a sixty-month sentence on count three to a sentence of 262 months. We agree with the district court that Scott Brooks’s culpability in the death of Lock-lear and the physical injury of Floyd is at the 3 (10th Cir.2001) ().

For the foregoing reasons, and based upon the circumstances of this case, the Court finds that Alston was not deprived of the Fifth Amendment’s protection against Double Jeopardy. The Appellate Division’s affir-mance of Alston’s conviction on one count of first degree rape was neither an incorrect, nor an unreasonable application of clearly established Supreme Court double jeopardy jurisprudence. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, petitioner Bernard Alston’s request for a writ of habeas corpus is denied and the petition is dismissed. Because petitioner has failed to make a substantial showing of a denial of a constitutional right, I decline to issue a certificate of appealability. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1); Lozada v.

Id. at 1127. But Starks was never “acquitted,” and it is not entirely clear whether he was “exonerated” when his convictions were vacated and a retrial ordered or only when the prosecutor dismissed the charges. Northfield Insurance appears to address this question, saying that “[i]f the prosecution was abandoned for reasons of Starks’s innocence, then May 15, 2012 [when the aggravated sexual assault charges were dismissed nolle prosequi ], is the trigger date for his malicious prosecution claim.” 701 F.3d at 1131-32. By “malicious prosecution claim,” the Seventh Circuit meant Starks’s malicious prosecution, wrongful prosecution, and due process claims, which it was discussing collectively.

The rationale for holding that merely ""renewing” a motion for judgment does not preserve the issue for appeal is that the original motion for judgment is withdrawn once the party making the motion presents evidence. Smith v. Carr, 189 Md. 338, 56 A.2d 151 (1947); Md. Rule 2-519(c). Because Sherwood had already presented its evidence when it initially moved for judgment, and because it is evident that the reasons for the motion were clear to the trial judge, the issue is preserved. Hartford does not contend otherwise. See Laubach v. Franklin Square Hospital, 79 Md. App. 203, 216, 556 A.2d 682 (1989) () (citing Sergeant Co. v.

Finally, we find exclusion of the evidence was not harmless error as there was no equivalent testimony presented to this effect. Cf. Bernard v. Lott, 666 So.2d 702 (La.Ct.App.1995) (). Accordingly, we hold the trial court erred in ### Response: holding the exclusion of a neuropsychologists opinion regarding whether the plaintiff suffered a brain injury on the basis she was not a medical doctor was harmless error because additional medical experts testified about how the results of the neuropsychologists testing supported a finding of a brain injury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “allege facts that affirmatively demonstrate the court’s jurisdiction to hear the cause.” See Tex.

Because the jury concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that Soreide was an organizer or leader, and because Soreide was sentenced to 236 months imprisonment, which was below the statutory maximum of 20 years imprisonment, the district court did not unconstitutionally amend the indictment by enhancing Soreide’s sentence based on his role as an organizer or leader. As to Soreide’s argument that the district court failed to make the necessary findings under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a), we have held that a sentencing court is not obligated to specifically address and analyze on the record every factor set forth in § 3553(a).

Evidence is competent for purposes of proving a prior conviction when that evidence requires “[n]o conjecture or surmise ... to reach [the] conclusion” that the defendant had indeed been convicted of the predicate offense or offenses.

Defendants next argue that our reasoning in Scherzinger II does not control here because this case involves the board’s authority to investigate dismissals, while Scherzinger II involved only the board’s authority to order the Scherzinger II custodians’ reinstatement. That distinction misses the point of issue preclusion. Issue preclusion not only prevents a tribunal from deciding an issue that has already been decided, it also prevents a party, and those in privity with that party, from relitigating an issue that was already decided.

See Miss. Code Ann. § 99-39-5(2) (Rev. 2015) (a motion for post-conviction relief must be filed within three years after the entry of a judgment of conviction based on a guilty plea). The court also noted that the underlying statute of limitations issue was discussed on the record at Dearman’s plea hearing. At her plea hearing, Dear-man’s attorney acknowledged that the prosecution was not barred by the statute of limitations because a warrant was issued for her arrest within about six weeks of the offense. See Miss. Code Ann. § 99-1-7 (Rev. 2015) (“A prosecution may be commenced, within the meaning of Section 99-1-5 by the issuance of a warrant .... ”); see also Conerly v.

See, e.g., Herbstein, 743 F.Supp. at 188 (finding Argentine case was at preliminary stage where formal investigation into possible misappropriation had just begun and there had not yet been any determination of actual wrongdoing). The Defendant by the Swiss District Court regarding Pablo’s liability on Ms. Madanes’ contractual claim would not dispose of the RICO claims in this action. For example, determining that Pablo is guilty on the contractual claim does not answer the question of whether he managed an international conspiracy; nor does a finding of innocence necessarily mean that no such conspiracy existed, especially among the other Defendants.

In the instant cause, the trial court dismissed Bonilla’s first lawsuit with prejudice because Bonilla failed to attend several court-ordered depositions. Contrary to the trial court’s ruling, the record in this case does not contain sufficient evidence to indicate that Bonilla exhibited the sort of wilful disregard for the court’s orders which would support the sanction of dismissal, either with or without prejudice. In addition, throughout the time that Bonilla was unavailable for deposition, Apollo had been able DCA 1979) ().

The supreme court rejected this argument, holding that “[w]hen a party’s alleged health care liability is purely vicarious, a report that adequately implicates the actions of that party’s agents or employees is sufficient.” Id. at 671-72. Although Gardner involved a corporation rather than a professional association, we conclude that its reasoning is equally applicable here. Therefore, we reject OGA’s assertion, at least concerning “purely vicarious” liability claims, that Dr. Brewer’s expert reports concerning Drs. Jacobs and Gunn did not sufficiently implicate OGA. See id.; Ctr. for Neurological Disorders, P.A. v. George, 261 S.W.3d 285, 295 (Tex.App.-Fort Worth 2008, pet. denied) ().

Although two appellee briefs were filed, one on behalf of the Pierce plaintiffs and one on behalf of the Clifton plaintiffs, we will present their arguments collectively. 34 . Although not directly addressing the contours of a facial challenge, we have addressed the differences between facial and as-applied challenges in a number of scenarios, often for procedural purposes.

Congress has passed numerous laws that proscribe threats. See, e.g., 18 U.S.C. § 871 (threats against the president and successors to the presidency); id. § 876 (threats by mail to injure or kidnap); id. § 1513 (retaliatory threats against informants and witnesses); id. § 115 (threats to assault, kidnap, or murder federal officials). These statutes have been consistently upheld as constitutional, despite the fact that they criminalize utterances because of their expressive content. See Watts v.

But the dissent offers no support for this broad proposition, and we do not agree that this is a valid assumption. The dissent confuses the corporation’s interests with the individual interests of its majority shareholders. But a corporate officer or director’s duty is to the corporation and its shareholders collectively, not any individual shareholder or subgroup of shareholders, even if that subgroup represents a majority of the ownership. See, e.g., Redmon, 202 S.W.3d at 233; Somers, 295 S.W.3d at 11; Lindley, 349 S.W.3d at 124; Hoggett, 971 S.W.2d at 488.

There is no indication in the record that the petitioner was impeded from consulting with counsel either before or after the examination. Accordingly, his exclusion from the examination room, assuming it was an error, is subject to harmless error analysis.

A review of cases in other jurisdictions shows support for this characterization of the escape crime. Escape is considered a continuing offense by those courts — including the United States Supreme Court — that require an escapee to immediately submit to the authorities after an escape before the escapee can rely on a necessity defense to an escape charge.

The appellees properly concede Santa Lucia is entitled to recover these fees to the extent he can establish the fees were reasonable and necessary. See Payne v.

In support of this conclusion, the Court referenced the following precedent: (1) Penn Central Transp. Co. v.

Loveladies Harbor Inc. v. United States, 28 F.3d 1171, 1177 (Fed.Cir.1994). With respect to the final factor concerning the “character of the government action,” the Court concludes that this factor weighs against a conclusion that the Government’s regulation in this case amounts to a taking. In considering the character of the government action, courts consider (1) the extent to which the action is retroactive, and (2) whether the action targets a particular individual. In this case, the Act is not being applied retroactively, and Defendant has not demonstrated that he is being singled out for application of the Act. See Brace, 72 Fed.Cl. at 356 ().

Since Winings committed his crime on March 24, 2003, the sentencing court properly included his previously “washed out” convictions. ¶43 A majority of the panel having determined that the following portion of the opinion will not be printed in the Washington Appellate Reports, but will be filed for public record pursuant to RCW 2.06.040, it is so ordered. ¶44 Affirmed.

The District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed Bailey-El’s complaint against Harrell Watts, the National Inmate Appeals Administrator for the BOP, holding that Watts enjoyed quasi-judicial immunity. Bailey-El argues that the Dis trict Court should have conducted a qualified immunity analysis under Cleavinger v. Saxner, 474 U.S. 193, 206-07, 106 S.Ct. 496, 88 L.Ed.2d 507 (1985) ().

His appellate argument implies that until the day of trial, he was entirely unaware that the amended information containing a persistent violator al legation had been filed by the prosecutor without leave of court.

A party is an “interested party” with standing to bring suit under' 28 U.S.C. § 1491(b)(1) if the party “is an actual or prospective bidder whose direct economic interest would be affected by the award of the contract.” Orion Tech., Inc. v. United States, 704 F.3d 1344, 1348 (Fed.Cir.2013). A bidder has a direct economic interest if the alleged errors in the procurement caused it to suffer a competitive injury or prejudice.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. PER CURIAM: James Hampton Williams, II, was convicted by a jury on several counts related to his participation in a large-scale, ten-year long conspiracy to distribute cocaine and cocaine base, and was sentenced to life in prison. Specifically, Williams was convicted of one count of conspiracy to distribute five kilograms or more of cocaine and fifty grams or more of cocaine base, in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846 (2006); one count of conspiracy to launder money, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1956 (2006); one count of cocaine distribution, in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) 27 S.Ct. 2456, 2465-66, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007) (); United States v.

Courts have struggled with applying the Supreme Court’s preemption rulings to cases involving the Infuse device. Though they uniformly agree that the PMA process imposes requirements on the Infuse device, both the second step of the Riegel analysis and the scope of Buckman have prompted disagreement. This Court’s view is that some of these cases have read Riegel and Buckman — especially Buck-man — too broadly, see, e.g., Caplinger v. Medtronic, Inc., 921 F.Supp.2d 1206, 1219 (W.D.Okla.2013) (finding that fraud claims are impliedly preempted by Buckman because “even the concept of ‘off-label use’ is a creature of the FDCA”), while others have read Riegel too narrowly, see, e.g., Ramirez, 961 F.Supp.2d at 988-92 (). At least one court has read Riegel and ### Response: holding that riegels shield drops if plaintiff alleges offlabel promotion and that most claims including design defect claims evade preemption " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (including changing leadership and terminating some employees) and then merged with PA’s Information Technology Infrastructure group. (Moynihan Dep. at 78-79, 130-131.). At that point, the record shows that Mr. Moynihan put Patrick Kelly, the Head of the Information Technology Infrastructure practice, in charge of implementing the RIF, see Moynihan Dep. at 130-131, and Mr. Kelly testified that he decided to include Ms. Barnett in the RIF because her trade practice did not fit with the Transportation Group’s practice. (Kelly Dep. at 223-224.). The court finds that PA has produced sufficient evidence to indicate a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for terminating Ms. Barnett. See Texas Dept. of Community Affairs v. Burdine, 450 U.S. 248, 259-260, 101 S.Ct. 1089, 67 L.Ed.2d 207 (1981) (). The burden is now on Ms. Barnett to produce ### Response: holding that in producing nondiscriminatory reasons for its challenged action the employer is not obligated to support these reasons with objective evidence sufficient to satisfy the preponderance of the evidence standard " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: evidence was sufficient to support Rawlins’s convictions for first-degree aggravated rape and child abuse. However, the Superior Court committed constitutional error in permitting the People to read the prior testimony of J.J. and Melendez into the record at Rawlins’s second trial because the Superior Court erred in finding that they were unavailable for purposes of the Confrontation Clause. Further, this Court cannot hold that this error was harmless since the People failed to file a brief in this case, thus failing to meet its burden of showing that the error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Therefore, we vacate the Superior Court’s January 16, 2014 judgment and remand for a new trial. 2 See Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 53-54, 124 S. Ct. 1354, 158 L.

As a result, any differences in procedural rules are irrelevant to the instant case. For this reason, we decline to consider the procedural discrepancies highlighted by appellants in our determination of whether the issues in the present appeal are identical to the issues presented in Canady I. Appellants additionally argue that there is no identity of issues because the state law claims covered a different time period than the federal law claims. We find this argument unpersuasive. The difference in time periods does not affect the underlying nature of the claims at issue, and therefore the difference in time periods is irrelevant in determining whether the issues were identical. See Xiong, 195 F.3d at 427 (). Because appellants do not assert any ### Response: holding that difference in claims alleging the same violations over different time periods are immaterial in determining identity of issues for purposes of applying the relitigation exception to the antiinjunction act " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as to preclude presentation of the merits of the case should not be assessed absent a party’s flagrant bad faith or counsel’s callous disregard for the responsibilities of discovery under the rules.” Id. (emphasis added). Furthermore, in Spevack v. Klein, 385 U.S. 511, 515, 87 S.Ct. 625, 628, 17 L.Ed.2d 574 (1967), the United States Supreme Court determined that a penalty may be anything that makes the assertion of a constitutional right costly. If used properly, the privilege against self-incrimination is not a proper basis for a death-penalty sanction. The Texas Supreme Court has had occasion to revisit TransAmerican, and continues to insist that death-penalty sanctions are inappropriate absent a finding of bad faith. See Otis Elevator Co. v. Parmelee, 850 S.W.2d 179, 181 (Tex.1993) (); Remington Arms Co., Inc. v. Caldwell, 850 ### Response: holding deathpenalty sanctions inappropriate where party inadvertently failed to comply with courts order and nothing in the record even approaches the flagrant bad faith or abuse necessary for the imposition of such sanctions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: form or ceremony was necessary for dedication of land, and that title to land dedicated to public use inured to the benefit of the donee, i.e., the City of New Orleans). Similarly, Plaintiffs admit that “there is no doubt .the Beauregard Equestrian Monument is inside City Park,” R. Doc. 139-3 at 3, and there is also “no question that the property of City Park ... has always belonged to the City, of New Orleans.” See City of New Orleans v. State, 443 So.2d 562, 570 (La. 1983). Similarly, the Jefferson Davis Monument is located in the neutral ground of Jefferson Davis Parkway, which is also public property. See La. Civ. Code art. 450. Finally, State ex rel. Singelmann v. Morrison makes clear that the City has authority to remove the Monuments. 57 So.2d 238, 244 (La. Ct. App. 1952) (). In all, the City owns the. property upon ### Response: holding that a private association could not erect a memorial on public property without consent of the governing authority that the location manner and design of statues is within the discretion of the governing authorities of the city of new orleans and that the city of new orleans can require removal of monuments located on public property " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the confidential informant was a buyer or recipient because the enhancement applies with respect to the undercover officer who was undisputedly a buyer and recipient. JULIA SMITH GIBBONS, Circuit Judge, concurring. I concur in full in Parts I — III of the opinion. With respect to Part TV, I would caution against deciding this case on the rationale utilized in the majority court opinion. ""While the opinion correctly states that the individual’s possession of the firearm in question need not be actually unlawful, it overlooks the fact that the defendant must have had knowledge or reason to believe that the individual to whom the firearm was transferred had certain prior convictions or is under a criminal justice sentence.

Howard, 539 Fed.Appx. 904, ### Response: holding that the government failed to prove the defendants actions fell under the unlawful possession prong bjecause the government failed to present any evidence that the defendant knew that his conduct would result in a firearm being transferred to an individual falling under the narrow guidelines definition of an individual in unlawful possession " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: term of the probation, the trial court should be able to weigh that violation in its reevaluation of whether the defendant should be or should have been granted probation.... Once a defendant has been sentenced, the court may revoke or modify probation, upon a proper showing of a violation, at any time before the completion of the probationary period. Gardner v. State, 678 N.E.2d 398, 401 (Ind.Ct.App.1997) (internal citations and footnote omitted). Pugh claims the trial court abused its discretion by revoking her probation because her only probation violation was drinking vodka. Courts of this state have held on numerous occasions that the use of alcohol or drugs was sufficient to support the trial court's revocation of probation. See, e.g., Cox v. State, 706 N.E.2d 547, 552 (Ind.1999) (), reh'g denied; Crump, 740 N.E.2d at 573 ### Response: holding defendants positive urinalysis test for marijuana use was sufficient to support revocation of defendants probation " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: mere anxiety or annoyance. Because of our ruling in Lopez, which was well argued before the trial court in this case, I would hold that the court erred in its application of the emotional distress prong of the stalking statute to the findings in this case. 127 In reviewing the trial court's application of the second element of the stalking statute to the facts in this case, the findings support the trial court's conclusion that Bayles knew or should have known that his conduct would cause emotional distress to Bailey. However, the court did not specifically find, in support of this element, that plaintiff suffered from more than anxiety and annoyance, perhaps because plaintiff put on no objective evidence thereof. CJ Hansen v. Mountain Fuel Supply Co., 858 P.2d 970, 973-75 (Utah 1993) (); White v. Blackburn, 787 P.2d 1315, 1317-18 ### Response: holding that emotional distress requires a showing of either physical symptoms or mental illness " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: failing to “properly investigate any avenues of defense” — other claims, such as the claim that counsel failed to move to suppress the drugs and failed to contact the owners of the building, present issues upon which the District Court could have proceeded. Furthermore, some of Mercer’s other claims, such as the claim that the prosecution had bribed Yians and Hart, are not the type of claims that Mercer could realistically support at this stage of the proceedings; while Mercer may well fail to meet his burden of proof on these claims, he alleged sufficient facts to withstand summary dismissal. Therefore, we believe that the District Court should consider anew the various grounds for relief, and dismiss only those grounds that are truly vague and conclusory. See Thomas, 221 F.3d at 437 (). Accordingly, we will summarily vacate the ### Response: holding that the district court abused its discretion by summarily dismissing all 26 grounds in a 2255 motion where only certain claims were vague and conclusory " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: as to whether there was contact between the bus and Requester’s vehicle, the adjuster nonetheless reviewed them as part of the noncriminal investigation into Requester’s claim against the Authority. The plain language of the noncriminal investigation exemption is also instructive. As Section 708(b)(17)(ii) of the RTKL provides, a record is exempt when it relates to a noncriminal investigation and includes “investigative materials.” The noncriminal investigation at issue (1) commenced when Requester filed a property damage claim with the Authority involving one of its buses; (2) was conducted pursuant to the Authority’s self-insurance right and power; and (3) was tantamount to a systematic or searching inquiry and/or a detailed examination.

Accordingly, the recordings, which the ### Response: holding that an investigation means a systematic or searching inquiry a detailed examination or an official probe " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: could constitute objective indicia of Israel’s knowledge of the underlying felony that the State was alleging that he committed. At best, the record reveals that Israel suspected that the underlying felony alleged was Terroristic Threatening in the First Degree and made arguments based on that suspicion in his motion to dismiss; such suspicion does not rise to the lev ulars was supplied by the State and there is nothing in the record to suggest that any materials provided in response to Israel’s discovery requests identified the underlying felony alleged as part of the HRS § 134-6(a) charge. Moreover, the State cannot rely on the mere possibility that the underlying felony might have been revealed by a bill of particulars or via discovery. Cf. Robins, 66 Haw. at 316, 660 P.2d at 42 (). Therefore, we hold that the State failed to ### Response: recognizing that the facts that a bill of particulars is discretionary with the judge pursuant to hrpp rule 7a and that other discovery rules are limited in scope might prevent a defendant from discovering the states position " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: rationale that an em ployer’s duty to provide a safe work place is inseparable from its general duties as an employer. See, e.g., Royster v. Montanez, 134 Cal. App.3d 362, 184 Cal. Rptr. 560 (1982); Holzworth v. Fuller, 122 N.H. 643, 448 A.2d 394 (1982); Gore v. Amoco Production Co., 616 S.W.2d 289 (Tex.Civ.App.1981); Stone v. United States Steel Corp., 384 So.2d 17 (Ala.1980). We conclude that this case falls within the latter category of cases, where application of the doctrine would undermine the policy sought to be achieved by the Workers’ Compensation Law. Therefore, we refuse to apply the doctrine here and affirm the entry of summary judgment in favor of Atlantic Federal on the wrongful death claims. See Doe v. St. Michael’s Medical Center, 184 N.J. Super. 1, 445 A.2d 40 (1982) (); see also Katchis v.

Kentucky law simply does not require the placement of a disabled worker in a job where he poses a hazard to himself or others as a form of reasonable accommodation. Blanton’s primary argument on appeal is that there still remain material issues of fact that preclude summary judgment. We are not persuaded. First, although Blanton was not estopped from pursuing his claim by reason of his representations of total disability to the Workers’ Compensation Commission and the Social Security Administration, what he related about his inability to work at the pertinent time was an important factor in the grant of summary judgment. See Blanton, 123 F.3d at 917 (). Blanton had been a long-time faithful, ### Response: holding that previous sworn statements made by a plaintiff in his request for disability benefits is a material factor for the court to consider in determining whether he is entitled to ada relief " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a moving party may succeed on summary judgment. See id. In addition, the nonmoving party may not rely solely on allegations or conclusory statements. See Greene v. Dalton, 164 F.3d 671, 675 (D.C.Cir.1999); Harding v. Gray, 9 F.3d 150, 154 (D.C.Cir.1993). Rather, t d injury is likely to be redressed by a favorable decision of this court. See Lujan, 504 U.S. at 561, 112 S.Ct. 2130 (1992); Tozzi v. U.S. Dep’t of Health and Human Servs., 271 F.3d 301 (D.C.Cir.2001) (recognizing that upgrade classification change from “reasonably anticipated” to “known” carcinogen caused some economic injury that could be redressed by reversing the classification). An organization has standing only if it meets a separate three-prong test. See Truckers United for Safety v. Mead, 251 F.3d 183 (D.C.Cir.2001) ().

Thus, the sole constitutional issue when a state sought to exercise either in rem or quasi in rem jurisdiction continued to be the one posed by Pennoyer: Was the relevant property within the jurisdiction of the state?

Given everything that Raisbeck knew at the time of the arrest, it was reasonable for him to believe that Miller had sold 2317, 76 L.Ed.2d 527 (1983) (same). The phone calls that Detective Raisbeck had overheard and the surveillance of the restaurant provided even more corroboration. Although the detectives had not witnessed Miller do or say anything overtly incriminating on the day of the controlled buy, his actions were suspicious when considered in context.

Cunningham also challenges the district court’s finding that he voluntarily consented to the search of the vehicle.

We have indeed held on past occasions that the use of lesser force could be unreasonable in the particular circumstances.

It is thus largely irrelevant that, as asserted by the insurers, “[f]ive of the 15 states adopting the 1995 Model UPA in some form have also recently enacted DMF legislation,” explicitly imposing a duty to search that database. A similar enactment in West Virginia, as made evident by our holding today, would unnecessarily tread upon the insurers’ prerogative to decide how they will comply ■with the Act. The insurers, however, persuaded the circuit court to surmise' that “[s]uch legislation would be redundant or unnecessary if a duty to search already existed in the UPAs adopted by these states.” Cf.

We simply do not know. Given these possibilities, the ambiguity in the case law, and the context of the present testimony, we cannot say that admission of the evidence constituted plain error. We conclude by emphasizing that, to satisfy the plain error standard, Smith must show that the alleged error “affected] substantial rights,” that is, “affected the outcome of the district court proceedings.” Olano, 507 U.S. at 734, 113 S.Ct. 1770 ().

Because, as of the November 9, 2000, enactment of the VCAA, the 120-day judicial-appeal period had not yet expired and the appellant had not filed an NOA, the claims denied by the September 2000 BVA decision were still pending before VA.

Because Doe’s freedom of choice claim fails as matter of law, we do not find it necessary to decide whether § 1396a(a)(23) confers a private right on individuals that may be enforced under § 1983. Even assuming Doe may proceed under § 1983 to enforce § 1396a(a)(23), Appellees are entitled to summary judgment on Doe’s claim. Cf. Burks v.

The Superior Court’s dismissal of the action on the claim for reimbursement after it had ripened was pointless as Ottley could have promptly refiled the action. Rohn v.

As defendants here correctly point out, however, the impact of the considered and settled decision in Miles is to render it anomalous to award the nondependent survivor of a nonseaman a recovery which is patently denied to the nondependent beneficiary of a well-deserving seaman. In effect, to allow plaintiffs to recover wrongful death damages here simply because their son was not a Jones Act seaman would ironically, and improperly, leave the relatives of seamen as a less-favored class under admiralty.

Nevertheless, Jewelpak contends that it need not show actual prejudice by reason of the failure to publish because § 1315(d) requires only that it show “prejudice to the importing public in general, and destruction of the uniformity that section recognizes.” We disagree, for such a position is without support in the statute and plainly flouts the rule in Heraeus-Amersil, as well as analogous precedents from this and other courts of appeal.

Plaintiff argued to the jury that Capital City ... never intended to allow plaintiff to abide by the terms of the agreement, but intended to foreclose on the property from .the beginning. The 'Court finds that this theory fits comfortably within the law regarding promissory fraud. Capital .City contends that D.C. law recognizes a cause of action for promissory misrepresentation only when the promise is neither memorialized as an explicit contract term (e.g., an undertaking to provide $42,000 on a date certain) nor implied by law in the contract (e.g., the obligation to act with good faith); in other words, the misrepresentation must be a collateral statement of d 1251, 1253-54, 1259 (D.C.Cir.1979) ().

Clear Creek Basin Auth., 589 S.W.2d 671, 678 (Tex.1979); Marchal, 859 S.W.2d at 412.

The government’s argument that simple assault applies only to the “assault prong” of § 111(a)(1) makes little sense when considering § 111(a)(2), which punishes one who “assaults or intimidates” a former federal officer. If simple assault did not apply to the remainder of § 111(a)(1), we would be left with two unavailing alternatives before us: either simple assault does not apply to § 111(a)(2) at all; or that the simple assault provision applies only to the word “assault” of §§ 111(a)(1) and (a)(2). The former does little to carry out the purpose of the statute because it would afford greater protection to those without pr ontext of § 111, the definition of simple assault is conduct in violation of § 111(a) ....”) (emphasis added); Ramirez, 233 F.3d at 322 () (emphasis in original).

The regulations emphasize flexibility, indicating that the term’s meaning is governed by the context in which it is used and the purpose of the statute in which it is found. Id. § 783.29(c). Similarly, we must evaluate an employee’s duties based upon the character of the work he actually performs and not on what it is called or the place where it is performed. Id. § 783.33. As we have recognized, the FLSA as a whole is pervaded by the idea that what each employee actually does determines its application to him. Walling v. W.D. Haden Co., 153 F.2d 196, 199 (5th Cir.1946). Accordingly, the application of the seaman exemption generally depends on the facts in each case. See McLaughlin v. Bos.

Second, Smith is factually distinguishable from the instant case because it considered the preemptive scope of the MDA’s Class II regulations on a state regulatory statute. Smith, 651 F.2d at 1022 (citing Fla.Stat. §§ 468.135(7); 468.136(l)-(2)). Third and most importantly, the result in Smith relies on the fact “that the Florida statute does not relate ‘to a matter included in a federal requirement applicable to a device.’ ” Smith, 651 F.2d at 1025 (quoting 21 U.S.C.A. § 360k(a)(2)).

Additionally, our conclusion resulted from construing the evidence in the light most favorable to the Plaintiff-Appellant. Id. at 1020-21. “We review the district court’s refusal to take judicial notice of proffered materials for an abuse of discretion.” Crawford v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 647 F.3d 642, 649 (7th Cir.2011). Here, we easily conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to take judicial notice of the HPL contract. The district court correctly concluded that Plaintiff-Appellant’s legal argument was not the proper kind of fact that may be judicially noticed under Federal Rule of Evidence 201(b). See Gen. Elec. Capital Corp. v. Lease Resolution Corp., 128 F.3d 1074, 1081 (7th Cir.1997) () (citation and quotation marks omitted).

While plaintiffs are correct that “conspiracy is a matter of inference,” summary judgment may still be appropriate on a conspiracy claim where the nonmoving party rests merely on conclusory allegations. Here plaintiffs have presented no evidence, either direct or circumstantial of an agreement among defendants from which a reasonable jury could have inferred a conspiracy among them to inflict harm upon the plaintiffs. Earle, 850 F.2d at 845; see also Slotnick v. Staviskey, 560 F.2d 31, 33 (1st Cir.1977)().

The applicable law under paragraph 1558 is clear. “To constitute an article 'manufactured’ it is not necessary that the article be converted into a new and different article, having a distinctive name, character or use different from that of the original article (such would be the requirement to constitute an article a ‘manufacture’), but only that the article be so processed that it be removed from its crude or primary state, though it remain a variety of the original material. * * Chas.

The trial court’s review of the clerk’s findings is de novo, id., and the trial court is limited on appeal to determining whether the six criteria of N.C. Gen.

Moreover, this assertion is supported by Kin-man’s statement that the notion of being gay was so upsetting to her that it led her to attempt suicide. If Kinman’s opposition to the idea of being gay was as strong as she alleges, it is possible that any advances by a member of her own sex would have indeed been unwelcome. Furthermore, as the Supreme Court noted in Meritor Savings Bank, the relevant question is not whether Kinman voluntarily participated in sexual relations, but rather whether the advances were unwelcome. 477 U.S. at 68, 106 S.Ct. at 2406. To distinguish between an actual desire for a relationship on one hand, and a mere acquiescence to tendered sexual advances on the other, it is necessary to consider the power disparity be 830 F.Supp. 1288, 1297 (N.D.Cal.1993) () and Rowinsky v.

The facts are known to the parties and will not be repeated herein except as necessary.

Commonwealth v. Diamond, — Pa.-, 83 A.3d 119, 136 (2013) (footnote omitted). Moreover, the prosecutor here was simply relaying facts. The expression that the “cloak of innocence has been removed” is simply another way of saying that Appellant has been convicted of first-degree murder. Thus, Appellant’s suggestions of unfair prejudice are unfounded. Indeed, Appellant fully disregards the salient fact that the trial judge provided the jury with a full and correct instruction, and the presumption remains that the jury faithfully followed the judge’s instructions.

Since the 1970 Constitution is also silent on the subject, a recall statute would likely be constitutional. The 1970 Constitution gives home rule units broad legislative powers and states that those powers are to be construed liberally. (Ill. Const. 1970, art. VII, §6.) Consequently, a home rule unit could enact a valid recall ordinance. Non-home rule units such as the city of Northlake do not have such power. The issue before this court, however, is not whether a recall procedure can be enacted by ordinance. The question is whether recall can be adopted by municipal referendum. In this respect, the powers of municipalities, whether home-ruled or not, are identical. (See Pechous v. Slawko (1976), 64 Ill. 2d 576, 582-83, 357 N.E.2d 1144 ().)

Nimmer & David Nim-mer, Nimmer on Copyright § 1.01[B](1)(i) (1995) (“The torts of conversion and trespass relate to interference with tangible rather than intangible property....”). Although the common law rule has been relaxed somewhat, and the tort may now reach the misappropriation of intangible rights customarily merged in or identified with some document, it has not yet been extended further. See Restatement (Second) of Torts, § 242 and comments; Hurst v. Dezer/Reyes Corp., 82 F.3d 232, 236 (8th Cir.1996) (); Zacchini v.

In addition, immutability is not an absolute prerequisite to heightened scrutiny. The Supreme Court has granted suspect class status to groups whose distinguishing characteristic is not immutable. See, e.g., Nyquist v. Mauclet, 432 U.S. 1, 9 n. 11, 97 S.Ct. 2120, 53 L.Ed.2d 63 (1977) (rejecting immutability requirements in treating group of resident aliens as suspect class despite their ability to opt out of class voluntarily); see also Miller v.

Clearly established federal law holds that a State law enacted after the expiration of a previously-applicable limitations period violates the Ex Post Facto Clause when it is applied to revive a previously time-barred prosecution. Stogner v. California, 539 U.S. 607, 619, 123 S.Ct. 2446, 2454, 156 L.Ed.2d 544 (2003). But that rule does not apply to unexpired statutes of limitations. Stogner, 539 U.S. at 618, 123 S.Ct. 2446. Thus application of a statute of limitations extended before the original limitations period has expired, as here, does not violate the ex post facto clause. See United States v. Taliaferro, 979 F.2d 1399, 1402 (10th Cir.1992) ().

At the hearing, the District Court stated that it had reviewed “in detail” a report prepared by a Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) psychologist that concluded, among other things, that (1) Fox possessed a rational and factual understanding of the proceedings against him; (2) Fox had a capacity to assist legal counsel in his defense; and (3) Fox could rationally make decisions regarding legal strategy. Relying on that report, as well as Fox’s own testimony, the District Court found that Fox was indeed “competent to stand trial.” Appellant’s App’x at 47-48. As the trier of fact, the District Court was well within its province to give weight to the BOP psychologist’s opinion, see United States v. Zhou, 428 F.3d 361, 380 (2d Cir.2005) (), and did not clearly err in relying as well on ### Response: holding that a court evaluating competency may reasonably rely on the expertise of a forensic psychologist associated with the bop who is presumably familiar with patients similarly situated " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: defendants ordering more than 70 Towncars, or more than $2 million in automobiles, from plaintiffs dealership in Kansas. Defendants have been doing business with plaintiff in the same manner for at least ten years. According to Danny Zeck’s affidavit, defendants would place orders for Towncars with plaintiff in Kansas by mail and by facsimile. The court does not find persuasive defendants’ argument that jurisdiction cannot exist because plaintiff initiated contact with defendants in California and defendants never entered Kansas. It is clear that when a party chooses to enter into a contract with a Kansas corporation, the subsequent contacts cannot be said to be “random, fortuitous, or attenuated.” Marketing Group, Inc. v.

""Several state courts have held that such provisions have the effect of authorizing the legislature to vest itself with the power to make certain administrative appointments, and that no violation of separation of powers inheres in doing so. See, e.g., State ex rel. Rosenstock v. Swift, 11 Nev. 128, 142-43 (1876) (); Richardson v.

But the fact that the disciplinary committee had before it the same evidence entails only that the committee faced the same fact issues that would confront a jury; it is not evidence that shows the committee was acting out an unwritten policy of allowing officers to use deadly force whenever they feel their safety is threatened. See Fraire v. City of Arlington, 957 F.2d 1268, 1279 (5th Cir.1992) ().

The Buchanan Court also emphasized that the defendant did not move from his location of initial detention and “did not consult with an attorney prior to consenting to the search,” the latter of which forms a “crucial factor” in the attenuation analysis. Id. (quotation omitted). Because “[dissipation of the taint resulting from an illegal [seizure] ordinarily involves showing that there was some significant intervening time, space, or event,” and none was present here, the first two factors from Brown weigh in favor of suppression.

The Farmworkers assert that the phrase means the home villages from which the workers traveled to Monterrey. Indeed, “[t]he place from which the worker has come to work” can reasonably be read to mean the home village of the worker. Alternatively, the Growers contend that the place from which the worker has come to work is Monterrey, as that was the place where the workers gathered, where they were selected to be employees, and from where they traveled collectively to the farms in Florida. This reading of the language is equally reasonable. As both interpretations provide reasonable constructions, the phrase is clearly ambiguous. See Royal Am. Realty, Inc. v. Bank of Palm Beach and Trust Co., 215 So.2d 336, 338 (Fla.4th Dist.Ct.App.1968) ().

Draft interview summaries revealed additional inconsistencies. For example, one draft summary of an interview with Richard contained the statement that “[Richard] Cabral did not recall Sedaghaty discussing the topic of Kosovo or supporting mujahedin there” while another draft of the summary excluded that same statement. Another early draft revealed a conflict about the amount of the supposed payments that were collected at the end of the Hajj. Without the suppressed materials, Seda’s counsel was severely limited on cross examination, unable to explore, let alone establish, grounds for Cabral’s possible bias. See United States v. Schoneberg, 396 F.3d 1036, 1042 (9th Cir.2005) ().

Without holding a hearing, or making findings of fact, the district court imposed the obstruction enhancement. The two-point enhancement increased McKnight’s offense level to 43, mandating that the district court impose a life sentence on McKnight. Because of the life sentence in this case, and the absence of findings to support the obstruction enhancement, we carefully review the record and McKnight’s contentions on appeal. II. Discussion The appellant McKnight first asserts error by the district court in refusing to allow McKnight to withdraw his guilty plea. We reject this claim. The record shows no abuse of discretion by the district court in rejecting this contention. See United States v. Thompson, 906 F.2d 1292, 1295, 1298-99 (8th Cir.1990) ().

TP § 14-845(a). 6 . In Mr. Bailey’s affidavit and in the City’s brief, there is language suggesting that, once the City acquired title to the Property by condemnation, any taxes owed were automatically abated or forgiven, or taken as paid. The City has not cited any case or statute to support that assertion, nor have we found any. Indeed, United States v. Certain Parcels of Land in Prince George’s County, Md., 40 F.Supp. 436 (D.Md. 1941), supports a contrary assertion ().

An appel late court cannot consider as grounds for reversal, issues the non-movant did not expressly present to the trial court by written response to the summary judgment motion. See City of Houston v. Clear Creek Basin Autk, 589 S.W.2d 671, 676 (Tex.1979). If the non-movant does not expressly present grounds that would defeat the movant’s right to a summary judgment by filing a written answer or response, he is limited to arguing on appeal that the movant’s motion was legally insufficient. Id. These requirements apply equally to constitutional claims. See Dreyer v. Greene, 871 S.W.2d 697, 698 (Tex. 1993) ().

Ascon Properties v. Mobil Oil Co., 866 F.2d 1149, 1152 (9th Cir.1989). See also United States v. Bliss, 667 F.Supp. 1298, 1310 (E.D.Mo.1987); Violet v. Picillo, 648 F.Supp. 1283, 1289 (D.R.I.1986). In this case, it is undisputed that there has been a “release” or a “threatened release” from a facility and that the release triggered the incurrence of response costs by Acme. Therefore, the only issues for resolution are (1) whether the defendant dumped its waste at the Fadrowski site and (2) whether th . 1361, 1405- 06 (D.N.H.1986) ().

Certainly, in situations like Grumman, where an agency, having reviewed a subordinate’s non-binding recommendation, makes a “yes or no” determination without providing any reasoning at all, a court may not infer that the agency is relying on the reasoning contained in the subordinate’s report.

For purposes of the Fourth Amendment analysis in this case, it makes no difference that the officers did not enter Fisher’s apartment to take physical custody of him. We have long recognized that “it is the location of the arrested person, and not the arresting agents, that determines whether an arrest occurs within a home.” United States v.

In short, all of Plaintiffs’ substantive claims are examples of bootstrapping. The Court must finally address Plaintiffs claim for declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. This count of the complaint fails to state a claim because after dismissal of the substantive claims there is no underlying legal action upon which to Plaintiff may receive declaratory or injunctive relief. It is well settled that an injunction is a remedy. A claim for injunctive relief does not stand alone, but requires a viable underlying legal claim. The same is true for declaratory relief, the source of which in federal court is the Declaratory Judgment Act, 28 U.S.C. § 2201 et seq. See Collin County, Texas v. Homeowners Assoc. for Values Essential to Neighborhoods, 915 F.2d 167, 170 (5th Cir.1990) (). B.

Reeves the Tenth Circuit established that “[o]pening the door to one’s home is not voluntary if ordered to do so under color of authority.” 524 F.3d 1161, 1167 (10th Cir.2008). The Tenth Circuit has repeatedly held that absent exigent circumstances, any warrant-less seizure from officials acting under the color of authority may not seize a person inside their home, or effect a seizure by ordering a person inside a home to come to the door.

Similarly, Jessica was denied the right to a relationship with her father during a critical stage in her development.

On the contrary, they have set forth their theory of loss causation in detail, and that theory is based on more than the bare assertion that the Defendants’ alleged misrepresentations merely caused the value of Huffy’s stock to become inflated.

Gonsalez-Palomino has not filed a pro se supplemental brief and the government has not filed an answering brief. We have conducted an independent review of the record pursuant to Penson v. Ohio, 488 U.S. 75, 83, 109 S.Ct. 346, 102 L.Ed.2d 300 (1988), and we dismiss in light of the valid appeal waiver. See United States v. Nguyen, 235 F.3d 1179, 1182 (9th Cir.2000) (stating that an appeal waiver is valid when it is entered into knowingly and voluntarily); see also United States v. Cardenas, 405 F.3d 1046, 1048 (9th Cir. 2005) ().

A trial judge’s decision to admit expert testimony will not be disturbed absent an abuse of discretion. E.g., Shipp v. General Motors Corp., 750 F.2d 418 (5th Cir.1985). In this case, the trial judge did not abuse his wide discretion in allowing Dr. Bennett to testify as an expert in the field of cardiology. Moreover, the plaintiff does not allege that Dr. Bennett relied on a particularly objectionable or unconventional scientific theory or methodology. See Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., — U.S. -, -, 113 S.Ct. 2786, 2796-97, 126 L.Ed.2d 469, 485 (1993). ().

Id. at 349-50, 352, 121 S.Ct. 2268. Thus, we disagree with the government’s argument that Mr. Latu could have raised all the issues in his habeas corpus petition in a petition for direct review. We conclude that Mr. Latu properly filed a timely habeas petition to bring his constitutional claims that were not reviewable on direct review under § `1252(a)(2)(C). See Jurado-Gutierrez v.

In the event that the mediation required under the ADR provision is unsuccessful and the parties proceed with arbitration, the arbitrator will be required to rule upon Parkevich’s claims related to the March 2002 sale of the property. In doing so, the arbitrator would have to rule upon Parkevich’s claims, if they are presented, that the Engagement Letter violated the Ind. Rules of Professional Conduct and is against public policy.

Each one of these factual allegations alone clearly constitutes a plausible Fourth Amendment violation. Together the claims allege malicious prosecution on the part of defendants against Colon-Andino. The First Circuit Court of Appeals has “assumed without deciding that malicious prosecution can, under some circumstances, embody a violation of the Fourth Amendment and thus ground a cause of action under section 1983.” Nieves v.

Specifically, we are convinced that expert testimony such as that contained in these two reports would not have changed the district court's decision on the voluntariness of Smith's waiver or our opinion on direct appeal affirming that decision.

III. Inclusion of Property that Sue Disposed of Prior to the Dissolution. The parties disagree with respect to whether other assets should be included as part of the property awarded to Sue: (1) the Blazer sold or given to Jami; (2) the cash value received by Sue when she canceled the policy on David’s life; and (3) the funds from the liquidated mutual fund that were not attributable to Sue’s inheritance. We begin our consideration of this issue with the observation that a spouse’s disposal of assets that would otherwise be subject to division in the dissolution may properly be considered in making an equitable distribution of the parties’ property. See In re Marriage of Cerven, 335 N.W.2d 143, 146 (Iowa 1983) (). A. The Blazer.

The specific charges were identified based on the two. variables. As is apparent from J.C. Penney’s disclosures, the cost of the delivery charge as a percentage- of the amount of the order declined as the amount of the order increased, thereby serving as an incentive for consumers to purchase additional items to save on delivery charges. Nowhere in the website did J.C. Penney claim that its shipping and handling charges were based upon “actual cost.” Indeed, the matrix chart provided by J.C. Penney plainly demonstrated that the key variables were not weight or size but cost of the item and the chosen method of delivery. See Zuckerman v. BMG Direct Mktg., Inc., 290 A.D.2d 330, 737 N.Y.S.2d 14, 15 (2002) (); see also Ciser v. Nestle Waters N. Am.

The jury recommended the death penalty by a vote of twelve to zero. The trial court found such a punishment was appropriate after considering all the evidence and properly weighing the aggravators against the miti-gators. Specifically, the court found four aggravating factors, one statutory miti-gator, and numerous nonstatutory miti-gators. Upon review, we find that the circumstances of this case are similar to other cases in which we have upheld the death penalty. See Orme v. State, 677 So.2d 258, 263 (Fla.1996) (); Schwab v.

(See City Motion at 13; AirTouch Opp’n at 18.) The Court accepts that stipulation, and accordingly will assign the burden of proof in § 332(c)(7)(B)(iii) on the City. c. Analysis AirTouch argues that as a matter of law there was no substantial evidence to support the City’s decision because the record consists primarily of the “substantiated” testimony of residents whose testimony was based on their experiences with Nex-tel. There is a split in authority, and no Ninth Circuit authority, on whether a telecommunications zoning decision can be based on constituent testimony alone. Compare AT & T Wireless PCS v.

Outside of settlement, AACPS maintains, it has no authority to place students in non-approved schools. The parents refute all of these contentions. Although the ALJ did not reach this issue, we note that the weight of the evidence, both testimonial and documentary, supports AACPS’s contentions, as does the caselaw and the statute itself. See, e.g., 20 U.S.C.A. § 1412(a)(10)(B) (providing that when public agencies place children in private schools, “the State educational agency shall determine whether such schools and facilities meet standards that apply to State educational agencies”); Carter v.

But even assuming, as the Estate urges, that the mass detected in 2003 later became cancerous, Dr. Sklaroffs assertion that the lesion “would have been amenable to surgical cure” does not establish the probability of a better outcome nor take that probability out of the realm of conjecture.

By contrast, the Act allows firearm counseling to continue, so it is not directly regulating medical conduct or declaring a certain form of treatment bad medicine. At the same time, the Act directly bans asking irrelevant questioning about firearms — even, indeed especially, those questions having nothing to do with medical conduct. The Act thus directly targets questioning and only incidentally advances whatever medical interests might be served by a law eliminating irrelevant questions about firearms from the doctor’s office. The burden on speech is direct. The benefit to medical care is, at best, incidental and indirect. The Supreme Court has explicitly recognized that States cannot advance their interests in this way.

In this case, the defendants assert that in the course of treating Mrs. Francoeur, Dr. Piper had multiple options from which to choose, each of which met the standard of care, and the fact that the option he chose resulted in Mrs. Francoeur’s amputation does not, standing alone, constitute negligence.

The father argues that § 30-3A-613, Ala.Code 1975, applied to the 2005 action and relieved him of the duty of registering the foreign support judgment. However, § 30-3A-613(a) provides: “If all of the parties who are individuals reside in this state and the child does not reside in the issuing state, a court of this state has jurisdiction to enforce and to modify the issuing state’s child-support order in a proceeding to register that order” (Emphasis added.) We acknowledge that the mother and the father resided in Alabama in 2005 and that the children had left Missouri so that § S0-SA-613(a) applies, see Mathews v.

Le Doux admits in an attachment to these filings that she intended the IRS to treat them as tax returns: “I Vera Le Doux, am submitting these as part of my ... income tax returns.” Form 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return 1997, at 3; Form 1040 U.S. Individual Income Tax Return 1988, at 3.

With regard to the first prong, the Defendants contend that the jury did not have a legally sufficient basis to find, by clear and convincing evidence, that the Defendants were objectively reckless. In order to support this contention, the Defendants point to both their non-infringement defense and the invalidity defense of obviousness. The existence of an objective risk of infringement is “determined by the record developed in the infringement proceeding.” Id. The objective prong is not established when the accused infringer puts forward a reasonable defense to infringement, even if the jury ultimately reaches a verdict of infringement.

See, e.g., id.; cf. City of Evansville v. Moore, 563 N.E.2d 113, 115-116 (Ind.1990) (). For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the ### Response: holding that the plaintiffs voluntary dismissal did not bar the application of the journeys account statute where the dismissal was not unilateral but merely occurred as a professional courtesy in compliance with the defendants request and assurance that he would waive any affirmative defense under the statute of limitations " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the benchmark well above the ALI’s hope that class members might receive 100 percent recovery. And the court recognized that the cy pres fund serves the goals of civil damages by ensuring AstraZeneca fairly pays for the class’s alleged losses. We asked at oral argument why AstraZeneca would be willing to pay a total sum more than the treble damages for each class member. Counsel for Plaintiff Townsend replied that the plaintiffs had insisted on AstraZeneca paying a larger sum to better represent the losses of the entire class, including those class members who would never claim their recovery. The district court’s approval reflected another important concern: facilitating a settlement in a hard-fought, complex class action. See Durrett v. Housing Auth., 896 F.2d 600, 604 (1st Cir.1990) (). Achieving settlement in such cases is not ### Response: recognizing a policy encouraging class action settlements " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: defendant’s method of measuring the productivity of its sales staff singled her out and devalued her contribution. It is well-established that an employer may rely upon supervisor evaluations to assess an employee’s performance when carrying out an employment decision. Meiri v. Dacon, 759 F.2d 989, 995 (2d Cir.), cert. denied, 474 U.S. 829, 106 S.Ct. 91, 88 L.Ed.2d 74 (1985). As articulated by plaintiff, however, by considering the small, less time-consuming agreements the younger salesmen were able to obtain as equivalent to the those plaintiff sought, defendant intentionally undervalued plaintiffs work. As further evidence of the pretext of the methodology, plaintiff cites the following examples: that it was applied retroactively to diminish the value of her sales, th (2d Cir.1994) (). Additionally, plaintiff denies the ### Response: holding that based upon discrepancies in defendants articulated basis for discrimination reasonable juror could infer that these were pretextual and developed over time to counter evidence suggesting discrimination " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: court, Mr. Lilly’s appeal is a criminal appeal subject to Rule 4(b) notice of appeal filing requirements. Mr. Lilly maintains that we have appellate jurisdiction because this appeal is subject to the timing requirement of Rule 4(a) for appeals in civil matters. According to Mr. Lilly, his petition for clarification was in the nature of a writ of error coram nobis, which is a civil proceeding that would give rise to a civil appeal. B. It is true that a number of proceedings involving criminal matters are treated as civil for purposes of Rule 4’s filing requirements. See, e.g., Browder, 434 U.S. at 265 n. 9, 98 S.Ct. 556 (observing that habeas corpus is undeniably a civil proceeding to which the time limits of Rule 4(a) apply); United States v. Taylor, 975 F.2d 402, 403 (7th Cir.1992) (); United States v.

State v. Taylor, 599 P.2d 496, 503 (Utah 1979). “[T]he transactions leading up to the offense, the interaction between the agent and the defendant, and the response to the inducements of the agent” must all be evaluated. Id. Moreover, “[e]xtreme pleas of desperate illness or appeals based primarily on sympathy, pity, or close personal friendship, or offers of inordinate sums of money, are examples, depending on an evaluation of circumstances in each case, of what might constitute prohibited police conduc ts of money, or large quantities of marijuana for an extremely low price. Rather, Wakefield used the market rate to determine the price of the marijuana. Furthermore, Wakefield did not make repeated requests or badger J.D.W. to buy the marijuana. Cf. Sprague, 680 P.2d at 406 (). J.D.W. immediately responded positively to ### Response: holding that agent entrapped defendant by goading defendant and repeatedly requesting drugs from him " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: misinformation, the analysis differs where the government affirmatively misleads an alien about the availability of relief.

We did not find Copeland’s two-year delay in seeking to exhaust his administrative remedies unreasonable where he had been misinformed by the IJ. This reasoning is equally applicable to Lopez’s failure to seek judicial review in the eighteen months between his final order of deportation and his deportation. Deportation, now removal, is a civil proceeding with its own administrative procedures. See, e.g., INS v. Lopez-Mendoza, 468 U.S. 1032, 1048-50, 104 S.Ct. 3479, 82 L.Ed.2d 778 (1984) (). Because it is an administrative process, ### Response: holding that the exclusionary rule does not apply to civil deportation proceedings and noting the rules incompatibility with the streamlined administrative nature of such proceedings " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (7th Cir.2011). ANALYSIS CVR disputes both parts of the 10(j) test. It contends there is no reasonable cause to believe that it committed unfair labor practices because it is not a successor to Berry obligated to negotiate with Local 100 ULU. Second, CVR contends that injunctive relief is not “just and proper” in this case, largely because of the 16-month gap between the filing of the charge and this 10(j) petition. A. Reasonable Cause It is well settled that, under certain circumstances, a successor to an employer is subject to the predecessor’s duty to negotiate with the representatives of the appropriate employee unit, and the failure to negotiate can be an unfair labor practice. See NLRB v. Burns Int’l Security Servs., Inc., 406 U.S. 272, 280-81, 92 S.Ct. 1571, 32 L.Ed.2d 61 (1972) (). CVR contends that this successor-ship ### Response: holding that where the bargaining unit remains unchanged and a majority of the employees hired by the new employer are represented by a recently certified bargaining agent the successor employer must bargain with the incumbent union " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: them until after the petition, and the amount debtor was to pay to fund those benefits likewise was not determined or payable until after the petition was filed. At issue was whether the obligation to fund those unemployment benefits paid to the former employees was a pre-petition or post-petition claim against the debtor. The court ruled that because the event that under local law triggered the liability, i.e. the termination of the employees, occurred pre-petition, the claim was not a post-petition administrative expense. Id. at 515. 8 . See, e.g., Columbia Gas System, 146 B.R. at 118 (ruling that under local law debtor obligation to pay taxes arose not when it was assessed but ""when it owned and operated properly within the prior calendar year”); Northeastern Ohio, 126 B.R. at 515 (); In re Brent Explorations, Inc., 91 B.R. 104, ### Response: holding unemployment taxes accrued when employees were terminated not when the amount of compensation taxes are determinable " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: personally upon them.

Connes v. Molalla Transp. System, Inc., 831 P.2d 1316, 1321 (Colo.1992); Restatement (Second) of Agency § 213 emt. d (1958). Hence, the court does not inquire into the employer’s broad reasons for choosing this particular employee for the position, but instead looks to whether the specific danger which ultimately manifested itself could have reasonably been foreseen at the time of hiring. This inquiry, even when applied to a minister employee, is so limited and factually based that it can be accomplished with no inquiry into religious beliefs. See Moses v. Diocese of Colo., 863 P.2d 310, 320-21 (Colo.1993) (), cert, denied, — U.S. -, 114 S.Ct. 2153, 128 ### Response: holding that although courts must not become embroiled in interpreting or weighing church doctrine a claim of negligent hiring of a minister is actionable because it does not require such interpretation or weighing of religious belief but instead is merely application of a secular standard to secular conduct " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: fiduciary relationship which results from the manifestation of consent by one person to another that the other shall act on his behalf and subject to his control, and consent by the other to so act.” Restatement (Second) of Agency § 1(1). There is no manifestation by either the federal government or the State of California of an intent to create an agency relationship under the facts of this case. First, both the Supreme Court and our predecessor court, the United States Court of Claims, have held that the federal government’s conditioning a state or locality’s receipt of federal funds on the state’s taking a particular action does not make that state or locality an agent of the federal government. See Griggs v. Allegheny County, Pa., 369 U.S. 84, 89, 82 S.Ct. 531, 7 L.Ed.2d 585 (1962) (); D.R. Smalley & Sons, Inc. v.

Masonry & Fireproofing, Inc. v. Wagman Const. Co., 383 F.2d 249, 251 (4th Cir.1967). Even where a defendant does not explicitly ask for default to be set aside, a brief in opposition to default judgment will be treated as a request to have default set aside, and will be analyzed under the “good cause” standard. See FDIC v. Danzig, 10 F.3d 806, 1993 WL 478842, at *2 (4th Cir.1993) (unpublished table decision) (‘Where, as here, a court is ruling upon a plaintiff’s application for a default judgment, it properly treats the defendant’s opposition as a motion to set aside the entry of default, which is assessed under Rule 55(c)’s good cause standard.”) (citing Meehan v. Snow, 652 F.2d 274, 276 (2d Cir.1981) ()). Therefore, as stated above, Wong’s ### Response: holding that in considering the appellants opposition to the motion for a default judgment it is proper to apply the rule 55c standard for setting aside the entry of a default " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “[i]t is enough for the movant to bring up the fact that the record does not contain such an issue,” the movant must also “identify that part of the record which bears out his assertion.” City of Mt.

However, if the moving party fails to meet its initial burden, the burden is never passed to the nonmoving party. See Handeen v.

CONCLUSION For the reasons stated above, the court GRANTS Defendants’ Motion for Summary Judgment. IT IS SO ORDERED. 1 . The court agrees with Plaintiffs that its use of various terms throughout the specification to signify a theoretical win profile do not arise to the level of semantic indefiniteness as was found in Allen Eng’g Corp. v. Bartell Indus. Inc. 299 F.3d 1336 (Fed.Cir.2002)() 2 .

Ellerth, 524 U.S. 742, 761, 118 S.Ct. 2257, 141 L.Ed.2d 633 (1998). To constitute an adverse employment action, the conduct must be ‘“materially adverse’ to the employee’s job status.” Wells v. Colo. Dep’t of Transp., 325 F.3d 1205, 1213 (2003)(quoting Sanchez v. Denver Pub. Sch., 164 F.3d at 533). In Wells v. Colorado Dep’t of Transportation, the Tenth Circuit addressed whether a supervisor’s “poor treatment” of the employee was sufficient to establish an adverse employment action. 325 F.3d at 1214. In that case, the plaintiff alleged that the supervisor undermined her authority at a work site when they had a disagreement in front of other workers. See id. In denying the plaintiffs claim that 98, 1104 (10th Cir.1998)(). “There is little support for the argument ### Response: holding that written warnings that impacted the probability an employee would be terminated are adverse employment actions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: outlining the offenses, not the later date of indictment. Id. The appeals court disagreed, holding that denial of parole due to pending charges is not equivalent to arrest on the charges. Id. at 1043. Therefore, the defendant’s continued incarceration was for his prior conviction, rather than pretrial detention for the uncharged offense, and so the speedy trial clock began to run from the date of indictment. Id.; see also People v. Roscoe, 162 Mich.App. 710, 413 N.W.2d 483 (1987); State v. Johnson, 92 Wash.2d 598, 599 P.2d 529 (1979). Likewise, the Alaska Court of Appeals has repeatedly held that the speedy trial clock begins to run when a defendant is indicted, rather than when arrested on other offenses or for probation violations. Harmon v. State, 908 P.2d 434 (Alaska Ct.App.1995) (); Demientieff v. State, 814 P.2d 745 (Alaska ### Response: holding that the speedy trial clock for state charges did not begin to run when the defendant was taken into custody by federal authorities on federal charges but rather when he was indicted for the state charges " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 13-3. Defendant contends that the 2010-2011 IEP does not preclude G.M. from earning a Regents diploma in the future, but that earning Carnegie credits in her mainstream classes is currently outside G.M.’s ability. See Dkt. No. 15 at 24. Under the IDEA, a student with a disability is eligible to earn a high school diploma until his or her twenty-first birthday. See 20 U.S.C. § 1412(a)(1)(A); 8 N.Y.C.R.R. § 100.9(e). At the time this action was brought, G.M. was fifteen years old, thus Defendant’s contention that she still has ample time to earn a Regents diploma is correct. Given G.M.’s significant deficits, however, Defendant’s decision that G.M. would not receive Carnegie credit for her course work for 2010-2011 does not amount to a violation of the IDEA. See J.S., 586 F.Supp.2d at 86 ().

In other words, the EIS must “provide decisionmakers with sufficiently detailed information to aid in determining whether to proceed with the action in light of its environmental consequences and to provide the public with information and an opportunity to participate in the information gathering process.” Nothwest Res.

Wilson next argues that the statement was not made “in furtherance of’ the conspiracy.

United States v. Bibbero, 749 F.2d 581, 583-84 (9th Cir. 1984) (quotations omitted). Here, Ware’s statement concerned the source of the pseudophendrine pills and it is plausible that the statement was made to convince Meier, a member of the conspiracy, that the source was loyal, consistent and reliable.

See infra, p. 587. 8 .Although the Third Circuit, in Klem, analyzed the definition of ""substantial burden” in the context of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, this test has been used interchangeably in the RFRA context. See Geneva Coll., 778 F.3d at 442-43. 9 . It is worth mentioning that, though not applicable to the case at hand, the test to determine the validity of a prison regulation which impinges on prisoners' constitutional rights includes as one factor “whether inmates retain alternative means of exercising the circumscribed right.” DeHart v. Horn, 390 F.3d 262, 269 (3d Cir.2004); see Turner v. Safley, 482 U.S. 78, 90, 107 S.Ct. 2254, 96 L.Ed.2d 64 (1987), 10 .

A search of the 1946 Code shows the general assembly used language similar to section 499A.1Q) in other sections of the Code. See, e.g., Iowa Code § 504.1 (1946) (requiring incorporators of nonprofit corporations to be “persons of full age, a majority of whom shall be citizens of the state”), repealed by 1990 Iowa Acts ch. 1164, § 27. The use of the phrase “persons of full age” denotes that the person performing the organizing has reached the age of majority and is capable of executing a contract. See Martin v.

The MCRA was intended to provide a state law remedy co-extensive with 42 U.S.C. § 1983, except that the MCRA also reaches private action, and requires a showing that a constitutional violation was effected “by threats, intimidation or coercion.” See Bally v. Northeastern Univ., 403 Mass. 713, 718, 532 N.E.2d 49 (1989); Batchelder v. Allied Stores Corp., 393 Mass. 819, 822-23, 473 N.E.2d 1128 (1985). An arrest without probable cause has been found to constitute coercion within the meaning of the MCRA. See Daley v. Harber, 234 F.Supp.2d 27, 31-32 (D.Mass.2002) (); Zurakowski v.

The Seventh Circuit clarified its Amoco Petroleum reasoning in In re Shell Oil Co., 966 F.2d 1130, 1132 (7th Cir.1992) (granting mandamus in part and directing district court to explain why it remanded case). Judge Easterbrook stated as dictum in Shell Oil that the language of § 1447(c)—i.e., remand is permitted ""any time before final judgment”—does not mean that changes after removal can eliminate jurisdiction and compel remand. Rather, ""[njeither the text of the revised § 1447(c) nor its legislative history implies that Congress altered the traditional view expressed in St. Paul [Mercury Indemnity Co. v.

State v. Morgan, 428 So.2d 1215 (La.App. 3 Cir.1983), writ denied, 433 So.2d 166. The Louisiana Supreme Court has held that the lack of compliance with the sentencing guidelines does not necessarily require sentences be set aside if the record otherwise clearly illumines the trial court’s sentencing choice and demonstrates the sentence is not arbitrary or excessive. State v. Martin, 400 So.2d 1063, on rehearing, 400 So.2 o.2d 831 (La.1992) (requiring an “articulated justification for the near-maximum sentence”); State v.

C. Dismissal with Prejudice Batiste argues that because Zahara’s complaint was dismissed before Batiste’s complaint was dismissed, his complaint should not have been dismissed with prejudice (implying that Batiste would like the opportunity to amend his complaint and bring this case again). Batiste, however, waived this argument. Zahara was dismissed eighteen months prior to the Batiste dismissal. During that time, Batiste never asked for leave to amend his complaint in the district court; thus, he has waived his opportunity to file a new suit on these same grounds now. See Confederate Mem’l Ass'n v. Hines, 995 F.2d 295, 299 (D.C.Cir.1993) (). III. Conclusion For the reasons set forth ### Response: recognizing that although leave to amend generally should be freely granted that decision is left to the district courts discretion and as in the present case not only was there no abuse of discretion it appears that appellants never properly requested an opportunity to amend in the district court " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Class claims, the definition of the Class and Subclasses, the terms of the proposed settlement agreement, and the class members’ right to object or request exclusion from the settlement and the timing and manner for doing so. The Notice also informed Class Members of their opportunity to be heard at the fairness hearing and to enter an appearance through an attorney, and stated that the settlement would be binding on Class Members who did not opt out of it. Furthermore, the extent of the Plaintiffs’ efforts to notify potential Class Members is adequate. The Notice was mailed to potential Class Members individually based upon consumer information provided by Sparboe and the other Defendants. See Larson v. AT & T Mobility LLC, No. 10-1285, 2012 WL 2478376, at *9 (3d Cir. June 29, 2012) (). In addition, the parties published a notice ### Response: recognizing that individual notice to identifiable class members is not a discretionary consideration to be waived in a particular case it is rather an unambiguous requirement of rule 23 accordingly each class member who can be identified through reasonable effort must be notified quoting eisen v carlisle jacquelin 417 us 156 176 94 sct 2140 40 led2d 732 1974 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: her new family,” the guardianship is no longer necessary. We first address Susan’s parenting petition claim because it is dispositive of her other claims at this stage of the proceedings. Susan characterizes the trial court’s sua sponte dismissal of her verified parenting petition as a dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. See Kennedy v. Titcomb, 131 N.H. 399, 402 (1989) (noting that “[a] trial court has the discretion to dismiss an action sua sponte where the allegations contained in a writ do not state a claim upon which relief can be granted”). In essence, the trial court ruled that Susan’s petition failed to state a claim on any of her asserted bases for claiming to be a parent of Madelyn. Cf. In the Matter of J.B. & J.G., 157 N.H. 577, 580 (2008) (). “[I]n reviewing the trial court’s order of ### Response: holding that petitioner could maintain his action seeking parental rights and responsibilities under rsa chapter 461a notwithstanding his lack of biological relationship to the child so long as he alleges sufficient facts to establish his status as a parent by other means " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: were actual corporations.”); United States v.

Falcioni, 45 F.3d 24, 27 (2d Cir.1995) (noting Galbraith’s “limited exception to use of the intended loss figure” and stating that “Falcioni’s plan failed to result in loss, not because his victim was a non-existent entity, but rather because [an acquaintance] notified law enforcement authorities”); cf. United States v. Sheets, 65 F.3d 752, 753-54 (8th Cir.1995) ().

BBVA Bancomer, S.A., 405 F.Supp.2d 639, 645 (D.S.C.2005) (and cases cited therein), aff'd. 214 Fed.Appx. 286 (4th Cir.2007) (affirming on basis of district court’s “comprehensive and exhaustive” opinion). The sporadic visits by Lloyds’ employees to Tennessee also do not support the exercise of jurisdiction. Again, this is not the type of “continuous and systematic conduct” required to support general jurisdiction over a defendant. See Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co. v. Tryg Int’l Ins. Co. Ltd., 91 F.3d 790, 793-94 (6th Cir.1996) (); Landoil Res. Corp. v.

Id. Here, manner and means was not included in the statute; therefore, it was not required to be included in the indictment. The indictment alleged the elements of the offense and was sufficient. See Flores, 33 S.W.3d at 919 (concluding an information was defective because while the statute set forth manner and means, the information did not). Appellant appears to argue here that the State did not sufficiently identify how he “held himself out as a lawyer,” rendering the indictment defective. We hold that the words of the statute itself are not of “indeterminate or variable meaning” and, thus, tracking the statute was sufficient. See Nix v. State, 401 S.W.3d 656, 663 (Tex. App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2013, pet. refd) (); Cf. State v. Barbernell, 257 S.W.3d 248, 254, ### Response: holding indictment sufficient where the crux of the offense was not being a physician licensed to practice medicine in the state because defendant could reasonably prepare his case without further description of how he handled the affairs of his medical clinic " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: concealed a conspiracy, as would a letter on plain stationery meant to conceal the identity of its sender. Similarly, alleging that Defendants participated in “clandestine meetings,” (Id. ¶ 99), is not tantamount to representing to others that the meetings were valid trade association meetings when in fact they were meetings in furtherance of a conspiracy. See In re Aluminum Phosphide, 905 F.Supp. at 1470 (dismissing fraudulent concealment claim because plaintiffs failed to cite specific actions by defendants to keep meetings secret). Additionally, alleging that Defendants’ silence indicates acquiescence to a conspiracy, (see Pis.’ Second Am. Compl. ¶ 98), does not constitute an allegation of an affirmative act of concealment. See In re Aluminum Phosphide, 905 F.Supp. at 1470 (). Merely claiming that “all conspiracies are ### Response: holding that silence or passive conduct is not fraudulent unless parties relationship imposes duty to disclose " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Judge. Ramond L. Walker, Jr., challenges the ord computer printout, that Walker was arrested on May 14, 2005, and was entitled to 1379 days of credit on count one. Thus, the court awarded him an additional 3 days’ credit on that count. However, Walker correctly alleged that he is entitled to 1380 days’ credit on that count. The relevant portion of the trial transcript shows that he was arrested on the two robberies shortly after 11:00 p.m., on May 13, 2005. The State does not dispute this information. Thus, Walker is entitled to jail credit for that day because he was in actual custody. See Bronk v. State, 25 So.3d 701, 703 (Fla. 2d DCA 2010) ().

Id. § 77v(a). So understood, the Jurisdiction Provision vests the federal courts with exclusive jurisdiction over covered class actions asserting claims under the Securities Act (“Securities Act class actions”). As a result, if a Securities Act class action is initiated in state court, that action is not barred from removal; indeed, such action must either be removéd to federal court or dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Because the instant action is a putative Securities Act class action, the New York state court was not a “court of competent jurisdiction” under the Anti-Removal Provision, and the action was therefore properly removed. In. so holding, this court joins a growing consensus among district courts in the Second Circuit. Compare Hung, 2016 WL 299034, at *4 (); In re Fannie Mae 2008 Sec.

Id. at 386; Schumacher v. Leslie, 360 Mo. 1238, 232 S.W.2d 913, 919 (1950). Finally, SVC argues that its ability to protect its lien interest might be impaired or impeded without intervention because Kinney might settle with one or more of the Defendants and then execute a release absolving all Defendants of any other liability. While this could conceivably occur, the other enforcement options mentioned in Doss would still be available to SVC, not to mention the remedy discussed in O’Hanlon and Everard, supra.

For all these reasons, we conclude that SVC ### Response: holding that any remedy against the third party which may have been available to the wouldbe intervenors prior to the commencement of the plaintiffs action would still be available to them in the event of an adverse disposition which also would not in and of itself preclude a subsequent equitable action by the wouldbe intervenors " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: whether a dispute over a side agreement that does not provide for arbitration falls within the CBA’s arbitration clause, is one that this court has not previously addressed. There is a split among the circuits that have spoken on this issue. The Second, Fourth, and Eighth Circuits apply the “collateral” test in determining whether a dispute over a side agreement is arbitrable. Under the collateral test, courts consider the similarity of the side agreement’s subject matter to the subject matter of the CBA. If the subject matter is dissimilar, the side agreement is deemed collateral to the CBA. However, where the side agreement is “integral” to the CBA, courts permit arbitration of disputes over its provisions. See, e.g., Cornell Univ. v. UAW Local 2800, 942 F.2d 138, 140 (2d Cir.1991) (); Adkins v. Times-World Corp., 771 F.2d 829, ### Response: holding that a letter of understanding was collateral to the cba and therefore not governed by the cbas arbitration clause " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Morrissey’s earlier services is clearly wrong in light of the court’s other findings. They include the findings (a) that “Sr. Mon[z]on had never agreed to any specific hourly rates and clearly none that approached or exceeded $200 per hour,” 782 F.Supp. at 905; (b) that Morrissey ha .S.2d at 382, 489 N.E.2d at 1284 (same). Based on Mar Oil’s rejection of the very first bill, sent in January 1981 and asking for $75,-000, Morrissey knew that, without specificity as to time spent, Monzon would not allow the bill to be paid. Statements made by an attorney to a client in such circumstances in order to induce payment of the attorney’s bills should generally be binding on the attorney. See generally Prager v. New Jersey Fidelity & Plate Glass Insurance Co., 245 N.Y. 1, 4, 156 N.E. 76 (1927) (); Finkelstein v.

Rule 5-802(A). Being denied the right to vote is not part of a defendant’s felony conviction and sentence. It is simply a collateral consequence of that conviction and sentence. See N.M. Const. art. VII, § 1; NMSA 1978, § 31-13-1(A) (2005). Moreover, being denied the right to vote, even if the deprivation is wrongful, does not subject a person to custody or restraint. Cummings is not alleging that his underlying conviction and sentence is illegal or that he is being denied a right that would hasten his release from custody, but only that the district court made a clerical error, which wrongly denied him the right to vote. Relief for such an error cannot be had by way of a writ of habeas corpus. Cf. Canfield v. Bradshaw, No. 3:05 CV 2343, 2007 WL 397019, at *6 (N.D.Ohio 2007) ().

We agree. We are mindful that pursuant to section 90.404(1), Florida Statutes (2004), evidence of a victim’s character is “inadmissible to prove action in conformity with it on a particular occasion.” In the instant case, however, the defense did not seek to introduce evidence that Mr. Brown was a drug dealer as an attack upon his character. The defense sought to elicit this testimony to corroborate the defendant’s testimony that he did not go to Mr. Brown’s home to rob him, but instead went there to purchase drugs, and while he was there, Mr. Brown attacked him after he rebuffed his sexual advances. See Villella v. State, 833 So.2d 192, 196-97 (Fla. 5th DCA 2002)().

Appellant’s point of error number one is overruled. By his point of error number two, appellant contends, even if the trial court was correct in its interpretation of Chapter 26, holding that it does not apply with respect to a change in the use of public land from one park use to another, that the construction of the Diorama in Forest Park constitutes such a substantial change in park use as not to exempt such construction from the provisions of Chapter 26. Appellant states that there are no Texas cases directly on point regarding the proper uses of parkland and cites us the following foreign cases in support of his position: Fairhope Single Tax Corp. v. City of Fairhope, 281 Ala. 576, 206 So.2d 588, 590 (Ala.1968) (); Anderson v.

Brown, 425 F.3d 560, 584 (9th Cir.2005) (upholding denial of a Strickland claim where eight experts testified but none addressed “prevailing legal norms”), it is within a district court’s discretion to exclude proposed expert testimony concerning a legal standard of care and to rely solely on the briefs, see LaGrand v.

Thus, the district court did not abuse its discretion when it declined to review the Appeal Panel’s determination that LTCF and Film Production Capital were the same entity. B. LTCF further argues that the CSSP chose an inappropriate NAICS code. However, the determination of the appropriate NAICS code for a single entity claimant is not the type of “pressing question” that warrants district court review. See Claimant ID 100212278, 848 F.3d at 410. Rather, it is precisely the type of discretionary factual determination that we have held the district court need not review. See In re Deepwater Horizon, 641 Fed.Appx. at 410; cf. Claimant ID 100212278, 848 F.3d at 410-11 ().

In Terry Cove North, Inc. v.

The record is incomplete, but it appears that the trial court had not yet ruled on the initial motion to suppress.

(See People v. Terrell (1989), 132 Ill. 2d 178, 202.) Accordingly, we conclude that defendant sufficiently raised this issue at trial so as to preclude application of waiver in this instance. (See People v. Harper (1967), 36 Ill. 2d 398, 402 (recognizing error despite the absence of a timely objection in light of the “peculiar circumstances” of case which suggested constitutional infringement); see also In re J.C.

In sum, we hold that the district court’s dismissal of an unauthorized § 2255 motion is a “final order in a proceeding under section 2255” such that § 2253 requires petitioner to obtain a COA before he or she may appeal. In so holding, we join a number of our sister courts who have reached the same result. See Resendiz v. Quarterman, 454 F.3d 456 (5th Cir.2006) (per curiam); Sveum v. Smith, 403 F.3d 447 (7th Cir.) (per curiam), cert. denied, 546 U.S. 944, 126 S.Ct. 442, 163 L.Ed.2d 336 (2005); Jones v. Braxton, 392 F.3d 683 (4th Cir.2004); see also Pratt v.

They argue, correspondingly, that plaintiffs’ strident warning that Local Law 15 would require attorneys to violate their ethical duties to clients — by forcing an attorney seeking to collect a time-barred debt to inform the debtor of the running of the statute of limitations, an affirmative defense to litigation — is misplaced. But this argument misses the point. Unlike the New York City Council, the federal government is not obligated to draft its statutes so as to comport with New York law. Cf. U.S. Const. Art. VI, cl. 2 (establishing the supremacy of federal law). Rather, the federal government may — and does — regulate the conduct of attorneys acting as debt collectors. See Heintz v. Jenkins, 514 U.S. 291, 299, 115 S.Ct. 1489, 131 L.Ed.2d 395 (1995) ().

This line of cases has been subsequently repudiated, and it is now generally accepted that there can be no liability under the Copyright Act for authorizing an act that itself could not constitute infringement of rights secured by United States law. See Subafilms, Ltd. v. MGM-Pathe Communications Co., 24 F.3d 1088, 1093-94 (9th Cir.1994); see also Fun-Damental Too, 1996 WL 724734, at *6 (); PrimeTime, 24 Joint Venture, 1999 WL 163181, ### Response: holding that mere authorization and approval of copyright infringements taking place outside the united states is not a copyright violation and does not create jurisdiction over those extraterritorial acts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: or desire,” which might weigh in favor of construing a waiver narrowly, but rather by the “need to avoid inconsistency, anomaly, and unfairness,” which requires a general assessment of the equities associated with the state’s participation in the bankruptcy litigation. Lapides, 535 U.S. at 620, 122 S.Ct. 1640. As discussed above, the balance of these equities favors a construction of the Eleventh Amendment that would permit a debtor to assert a permissive counterclaim capped by a setoff limitation against a state that has filed a proof of claim. Second, the Supreme Court developed the “narrow construction” rule as a means of interpreting a state’s “unequivocal expression” of waiver in state statutes, state constitutions, and the like. Nordic Vill., 503 U.S. at 34, 112 S.Ct. 1011 () (internal quotation marks omitted); see, e.g., ### Response: holding that a governments consent to be sued must be construed strictly in favor of the sovereign " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to receive full and fair disclosures regarding the true value of a company’s stock”. Employers-Teamsters Local Nos. 175 & 505 Pension Trust Fund v. Anchor Capital Advisors, 498 F.3d 920, 922 n. 1 (9th Cir.2007). Thus, from this approach, as long as the investment advisor has discretion in determining what securities to buy and sell, it qualifies as a purchaser with standing to bring a securities fraud claim. See In re Rent-Way Sec. Litig., 218 F.R.D. 101, 108 (W.D.Penn.2003) (basing its inquiry “not on the presence or absence of specific ‘attorney-in-fact’ language in the agreements, but on the level of discretion exercised by [the investment advisor] in the day-to-day purchase of securities for its clients.”); In re DaimlerChrysler AG Sec.

Glickman, Civil Action No. 98-1950, Tr. Hr’g Mot. T.R.O. at 11 (D.D.C. Jun. 23, 1998). The Court finds that FWS provided the public with insufficient information regarding the proposed action and its potential environmental impacts and insufficient time in which to comment on the Draft EA. Accordingly, the agency’s approach to public involvement and consideration of what public input it did receive do not support a finding that it took a “hard look” at the problem and alternative m 47 (9th Cir.1984) (); cf.

Federal Tolling Principles. The Ninth Circuit has not ruled on whether mental incompetency may toll federal statutes of limitations. Indeed, in Atkins v. Union Pacific Railroad Co., 685 F.2d 1146 (9th Cir.1982), the Court explicitly left open the question of whether a plaintiffs mental incompetency could toll the statute of limitations on the Federal Employer’s Liability Act. After finding that the Plaintiff had not established facts sufficient to support a finding that he was mentally incompetent, the Court stated, Because we find no issue of fact, we need not decide whether the plaintiffs in-competeney will ever toll the FELA statute of limitations. But see, Brooks v. Southern Pacific Co., 105 Ariz. 442, 445, 466 P.2d 736, 739 (1970) (). Id. at 1148 (citation in original).

Thus, under (a)(1) an interest is subject to forfeiture only if and to the extent that it was acquired or maintained in violation of § 1962. Forfeiture under (a)(1) is not limited to a defendant’s interest in the RICO enterprise. It also includes a defendant’s interest in the proceeds of the RICO violation. Russello v. United States, 464 U.S. 16, 21-22, 104 S.Ct. 296, 78 L.Ed.2d 17 (1983). Moreover, a “but for” test is used to determine whether the government has proven the required nexus between the interest in question and the RICO violation. United States v. Angiulo, 897 F.2d 1169, 1213 (1st Cir.1990) ().

Schulmerich Carillons, Inc., 952 F.2d at 1327 (explaining that an expert’s “offhand and conclusory statements ... are not particularized evidence”). In addition, the court finds that Honeywell’s equivalence arguments were not legally insufficient. See e.g., CFMT, Inc. v. Steag Microtech, Inc., 14 F.Supp.2d at 591 (explaining that the plaintiffs expert did not “spend any time” specifically discussing the doctrine of equivalents, but instead, the plaintiff chose to focus its efforts on a theory of literal infringement); LifeScan, Inc. v.

Thus, the FDA’s mandate directing Abbott not to provide for retesting of samples near the cutoff — the concept on which plaintiffs base their warnings claim — remained in force as part of a conscious ongoing risk-benefit analysis by the FDA in managing a public health crisis. Plaintiffs’ state law claims would directly contradict the FDA’s requirements and interfere with the FDA’s objectives, and therefore are preempted. IV. The Court’s conclusion, that plaintiffs’ state law claim is preempted by the FDA’s unique regulation of the Test based on principles of implied preemption rather than express preemption under the MDA, is not in conflict with the holdings of Medtronic, supra, 518 U.S. at 492-502, 116 S.Ct. at 2254-58, 135 L.Ed.2d at 720-26 (), or Baird, supra, 155 N.J. 54, 713 A.2d 1019 ### Response: holding the mda did not preempt plaintiffs state common law claims for defective design defective manufacture and failure to warn " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Rule of.

Because Gomez’s holding that Pitts is not clearly irreconcilable with Genesis Healthcare is hot itself clearly irreconcilable with intervening Supreme Court authority, we are bound by Gomez.

The Complaint, which was issued by an Aider-man’s Court in Newark, Delaware, indicated that Licensee pled guilty to violating a local ordinance relating to “D.U.I. — Alcohol.” (R.R. at 31a.) In Delaware, an Alderman’s Court is a small local court with jurisdiction over misdemeanors, municipal ordinances and traffic offenses that occur within the town limits. (Trial ct. op. at 4-5.) After considering the matter, the trial court granted Licensee’s appeal. In doing so, the trial court relied upon Tripson v. Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing, 773 A.2d 195 (Pa.Cmwlth.2001), appeal denied, 568 Pa. 690, 796 A.2d 320 (2002) ().

Greene’s assertion that Houston had no personal, “first-hand” knowledge of the location of the stolen property is immaterial. Rather, the appropriate inquiry is whether the information in Lt.

See Davidson, 936 F.2d at 859. Here, the perpetrator of the crime, under direct questioning from the affiant, stated that his partner (Arnold) disposed of the stolen property at 2139/2141 Ashland. Moreover, Lt. Hiller also averred that he had personal knowledge that stolen property was located at that dwelling. Such information is enough to support a finding of probable cause. Cf.

Given that 18 U.S.C. § 1153(a) discusses both manslaughter, and felony child abuse or neglect, it is difficult to say that 18 U.S.C. § 1112(a) qualifies as defining both manslaughter and felony child abuse or neglect. A court should strive to give both of these words in the IMCA operative effect when interpreting the statute. See United States v. Nordic Vill., Inc., 503-U.S. at 35, 112 S.Ct. 1011. Allowing involuntary manslaughter under 18 U.S.C. § 1112(a) to define both manslaughter, and felony child abuse or neglect, would run contrary to this canon of construction. See United States v.

In Milhollin, the question for decision was whether under TILA, as well as Regulation Z, the existence of an acceleration clause must be disclosed on the face of a credit agreement. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari in the case, because of conflicting resolutions of this question by various federal circuit courts of appeal. See Griffith v.

The applicable Coverage Plan insured the members of the board of trustees of the school district. The company defended the trustees in a lawsuit that was brought against the school district and the trustees. When the trustees were dismissed from the suit leaving only the school district as a defendant, the company withdrew the defense and the school district sued for a declaratory judgment. The court held that the insurance policy unambiguously only insured the trustees. Id. at 612. See also St. Paul Guardian Insurance Co., 548 So.2d at 1160 ().

I On December 11, 1994, a state trooper arrested Allen for committing an OUI offense. The State preferred charges against him. As directed by law, the Secretary of State (the Secretary) then suspended Allen’s driver’s license for ninety days. See 29 M.R.S.A. § 1311-A, reprinted in the appendix. It is said that every action produces an equal and opposite reaction. Having felt the lash of the administrative suspension, the petitioner moved to dismiss the pending criminal charge on double jeopardy grounds. The nisi prius court denied the motion, relying upon an opinion issued by Maine’s highest tribunal (the Law Court) two months earlier. See State v. Savard, 659 A.2d 1265, 1268 (Me.1995) ().

However, these changes amount to far more than cosmetic adjustments to various titles; they would, if valid, affect both the titles and the content of the registered works—introducing thousands of additional CardPac component files not registered in PaySys’s Initial Registrations and impermissibly expanding the scope of the Initial Registrations from eight discrete component files to the entire CardPac software package. Courts have consistently rejected such attempts to squeeze additional works into a registered copyright through the supplementary registration process. See, e.g., Muench Photography, Inc. v.

The principal defendants in this case are not proper parties to workers’ compensation proceedings in New York. Furthermore, the Board cannot require a claimant to return moneys already paid. Id. § 22. The substance of the plaintiffs’ RICO claims — including, for example, the alleged existence of a “pattern” and “enterprise”, see McLaughlin v.

Sanbria-Bueno was convicted under 21 U.S.C. § 846 for conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute heroin in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841. Nevertheless, Sanbria-Bueno contends that the offense was not categorically a “drug trafficking offense” within the meaning of § 2L1.2(b)(l)(A)(i) because a generic conspiracy requires an overt act while § 846 does not. See United States v. Shabani, 513 U.S. 10, 17, 115 S.Ct. 382, 130 L.Ed.2d 225 (1994) ().

See 39 U.S.C. § 3662 (“Any interested person ... may lodge a complaint ... ”) (emphasis added). Mr. Foster made the same arguments before the district court, and that court found them to be unpersuasive. We also consider these arguments to be unavailing.

There is no finite time limitation within which the trustee must complete its pursuit of assets of the bankruptcy estate. Partial distributions of cash on hand can be made to creditors, with additional distributions made later as the assets are collected. Thus, when jurisdiction over disputed claims is placed by law in a specialized tribunal, we expect that the litigation over the trustee’s claims to recovery will be conducted in that forum. See, e.g., Hiser v. Pennsylvania Dep’t of Public Welfare (In re St. Mary Hosp.), 125 B.R. 422, 431-32 (Bankr.E.D.Pa.1991) (invoking primary jurisdiction doctrine to require trustee to submit claim to state Office of Hearings and Appeals for resolution); Burner v.

Officer Dodge and Detective D'Amour testified that Castro spoke English well enough to respond appropriately to the officers' questions and the record detailing his responses reflects the same. Even Castro's lawyer stated that she did not need to be present at the proceedings involving the Spanish speaking officer's testimony because the hearing did not concern Castro. Officer Dodge testified that Castro gave permission for the police to search the vehicle. The record contains no evidence to indicate that Castro's consent was not voluntarily obtained.

As set forth above, Connecticut choice of law principles direct that the law of Singapore govern the contract claims. Under Singapore law, mutuality of obligation is necessary for a contract to be enforceable. It is generally accepted in the common law of this country that agreements that impose no specific purchase obligation on a distributor cannot obligate a manufacturer to sell to the distributor. Billings Cottonseed, Inc. v. Albany Oil Mill, Inc., 178 Ga.App. 825, 328 S.E.2d 426, 430 (1985). In such cases, mutuality of obligation is lacking, and the agreement is therefore unenforceable.

We fail to see the logical connection between the fact of Archer Bank’s filing of CTRs and Van Allen’s guilt or innocence. The actions of Archer Bank following Van Allen’s various deposits and withdrawals do not demonstrate anything material about Van Allen’s state of mind. At most, the filing of CTRs may have indicated something about the knowledge of officials at Archer Bank; but such knowledge would not make it more or less likely that Van Allen knew of the reporting requirements or acted to avoid them. Whether or not Van Allen actually fooled Archer Bank has no bearing on the substantive violation under 31 U.S.C. § 5324(a). See Cassano, 372 F.3d at 878 ().

The Eighth Circuit considered a similar situation in Futrell v. Wyrick, 716 F.2d 1207 (8th Cir.1983). There, an unsuccessful habeas petitioner claimed that the introduction of police mugshots at his trial violated his due process rights. The court of appeals disagreed. “The manner in which the photographs were introduced,” the court found, “was unexceptionable. The photographs were never referred to as ‘mugshots’ and all police data was removed from them.” Id. at 1208. Thus, their introduction did not violate notions of fundamental fairness.

To the extent that Carrington Gardens must prove that HUD wrongfully declared the 241 Loan in default in order to advance its theory of the case, Carrington Gardens’ claim is barred. Carrington Gardens attempts to avoid the statute of limitations problem by arguing that the “continuing claim” doctrine applies here.

In Ralph Shrader, the Sixth Circuit held that, when a party limited acceptance to “[t]he terms set forth on the reverse side,” it was a conditional acceptance. Id. The Sixth Circuit rejected the argument that language in a contract had to mimic the “expressly made conditional” language of UCC § 2-207(1) in order to be a conditional acceptance.

District of Columbia Water and Sewer Auth., 803 A.2d 966, 970 (D.C.2002) (reversing agency’s dismissal of protest for non-appearance with the observation that the petitioner who telephoned the agency within an hour of the hearing with a plausible explanation for the inability to appear was not a classic “no-show”). Therefore, the ALJ should have addressed it. To the extent that the ALJ deemed it necessary for Frausto to substantiate her claim that she called the clerk’s office to request a continuance, the ALJ should have given her an opportunity to provide it.

Appellees’ allegations, by focusing solely on Jorge’s first act of malfeasance, do not respond to Roberto’s claim and therefore provide no valid grounds for summary judgment. We conclude the trial court erred by granting summary judgment on this ground. Conclusion We reverse the trial court’s order granting summary judgment in favor of appel-lees and remand to the trial court for further proceedings. 1 . This analysis also holds true for appellees' statute of limitation arguments in response to Roberto's claims of breach of fiduciary duty, conspiracy, and conversion. See Willis v.

See Ariz.Rev.Stat. § 13-205(A) (providing that the burden is on the defendant to prove self-defense by a preponderance). The Arizona Court of Appeals rejected this claim, reasoning that although counsel’s performance was deficient, Lewis had not shown prejudice. This state court decision was neither contrary to nor an unreasonable application of clearly established federal law. See 28 U.S.C. § 2254(d)(1); Early v. Packer, 537 U.S. 3, 123 S.Ct. 362, 365-66, 154 L.Ed.2d 263 (2002) (per curiam); Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668, 687-88, 694, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674 (1984) ().

Indeed, we noted that Appellees’ sale of the Lynch figures to other wax museum franchisees seriously undercuts appellants’ arguments that ap-pellees relied on the lease as a mechanism to discourage replacement of the figures with those of competitors during the lease term, or that leasing rather than selling significantly affected the market for figures. Id. Despite its submission of evidence of additional leases (between appellees and other museums), appellant gives us no cause to question the appropriateness of our initial skepticism.

Although we note that the defendant, Alvin Williams, has conscientiously reported for over ten years as required by section 954.0435(14)(b) of the Florida Statutes, we find that the trial court correctly concluded that Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.040, which extends a deadline where the deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, is not applicable to the reporting requirements set forth in section 954.0435(14)(b), as the reporting requirement does not require a computation of time, but instead requires the defendant to “reregister each year during the month of the sexual offender’s birthday and every third month thereafter.” See Violette v. P.A. Days, Inc., 427 F.3d 1015, 1019 (6th Cir.2005) (); Fleischhauer v.

Judging from the record, we cannot say the district court abused its discretion by giving the maximum sentence.

When Coker herself relies on theory to which the government “switched,” any “switch,” if it was impermissible, was not prejudicial. III Coker also objects to the manner in which her sentence was calculated, and asserts that she suffered ineffective assistance of counsel. We decline to address the merits of either argument because she has withdrawn her ineffective assistance claim and waived her sentencing objections.

Ganesan argues he is entitled to a new trial because he “timely requested” the record and it was lost or destroyed “without appellant’s fault.” See Tex.R.App. P. 34.6(f).

Because Ganesan could have requested the reporter to prepare the record within three years of the proceeding, or at minimum requested that the record be preserved, he is not free from fault. Accordingly, he is not entitled to a new trial. See id. at 370 ().

To preserve an issue for appeal, a conditional plea must “precisely identify which pretrial issues the defendant wishes to preserve for review.” United States v. Markling, 7 F.3d 1309, 1313 (7th Cir.1993). All non-jurisdictional issues not specifically preserved in the conditional plea agreement are waived.

Id. at 189, 194, 118 S.Ct. 1939. Rather, the term “willfully” in that context required the government to prove only that the defendant “knew that his conduct was unlawful.” Id. at 195, 118 S.Ct. 1939. In light of these precedents, we conclude there is no basis for requiring the government to prove that a person charged with violating IEE-PA and the ITR was aware of a specific licensing requirement. While the prohibitions imposed by IEEPA and the ITR are for conduct that is not “obviously illegal,” see Henderson, 243 F.3d at 1173, the “danger of ensnaring individuals engaged in apparently innocent conduct,” Bryan, 524 U.S. at 194, 118 S.Ct. 1939, is no greater under IEEPA than under the st 57, 61 (D.D.C.2005) ().

Under those principles, an action seeking benefits under ERISA must comply with the “most analogous” state statute of limitations. Held v. Manufacturers Hanover Leasing Corp., 912 F.2d 1197 (10th Cir. 1990). In this case, which was brought in Utah, the most analogous state statute of limitations is Utah's three-year statute of limitations applicable to written policies or contracts of first party insurance, Utah Code Ann. § 31A-21-313(1).

See id., at 1280a-1284a. FERC seems to have thought it was powerless to conduct just-and-reasonable review unless the contract was already subject to abrogation based on contract defenses such as fraud or duress.

See Greenberg, 91 F.3d at 1583 (“The fact that a particular mechanism ... is defined in functional terms is not sufficient to convert a claim element containing that term into a ‘means for performing a specified function’ within the meaning of 112(6)”).

We also note that the explanation to the 1998 amendment to section 708.11(3)(b)(l) suggests this provision is a punishment enhancement. See 1998 Iowa Acts ch. 1021 (“An act relating to certain crimes against persons ... by providing for the application of enhanced stalking penalties for persons who are the subject of certain restraining or protective orders-”). We have previously indicated that predicates used only for enhancement purposes are not elements of the offense charged. See State v. Tobin, 333 N.W.2d 842, 845 (Iowa 1983) (). Reviewing similarly worded stalking statutes, ### Response: holding that a recidivist provision in theft statute providing that theft of property not exceeding 500 in value by one who has before been twice convicted of theft constitutes theft in the second degree does not violate protection against double jeopardy prior convictions are predicates for enhanced punishment rather than elements of current theft charge and hence current charge is not reprosecution of prior offenses " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: yet the district court, like the hearing officer in Arlington County, succumbed to its temptation to inject itself into matters of professional educational judgment. 7 .

The Plaintiffs bolster their evidence on statistical significance by presenting evidence that the 2005 and 2008 exams violated the four-fifths rule.

Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, Apr. 24, 1963, art. 36, 21 U.S.T. 77, 101. 3 . Although Gordon’s waiver of appellate rights did not encompass the sentence corresponding to his illegal reentry conviction, Gordon fails to demonstrate the district court abused its discretion. See Gall v. United States, - U.S. -, 128 S.Ct. 586, 597, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). Gordon’s 240-month sentence for this offense was imposed concurrent to the 420-month sentence for the § 846 offense. Therefore, Gordon’s substantial rights were not affected by the 240-month concurrent term. See United States v. Ellis, 326 F.3d 593, 599-600 (4th Cir.2003) (); United States v. Burns, 298 F.3d 523, 544-45 ### Response: holding that sentence exceeding statutory maximum by twenty years did not affect substantial rights because defendant received equal or longer concurrent sentences on other counts " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: recommendations respecting plan administration is not indicative of fiduciary status. Toomey, 855 F.Supp. at 24; 29 C.F.R. § 2509.75-8(D-2). The Court concludes, therefore, that John Hancock’s performance of plan design services lacks the discretionary authority in the administration of an employee benefit plan necessary to qualify it as a fiduciary under ERISA. Turning to an analysis of the other services John Hancock provides to the Plan, the Court recognizes that urging the purchase of an insurance company’s plan services does not make that company a fiduciary with respect to those services. American Fed’n of Unions v. Equitable Life Assurance Soc’y, 841 F.2d 658, 664 (5th Cir.1988); see also Consolidated Beef Indus. v. New York Life Ins.

This is not accurate. The Rooker-Feld-man doctrine bars consideration not only of issues actually presented to and decided by a state court, but also bars consideration of claims that are ""inextricably intertwined” with issues ruled upon by the state court. Feldman, 460 U.S. at 483-84 n. 16, 103 S.Ct. 1303; see Facio, 929 F.2d at 543. Analysis of whether a claim is ""inextricably intertwined” with a state court judgment is necessary only if the claim before the federal court was not raised in the state court. Feldman, 460 U.S. at 483-84 n. 16, 103 S.Ct. 1303; Facio, 929 F.2d at 543; see Kiowa Indian Tribe, 150 F.3d at 1169 ().

The judge did not believe he could give the charge as proposed without some quote or further explanation. The judge was correct, and it would have been an incorrect statement of the law to have charged the jury that insults or profanity cannot be defamatory, as extrinsic facts may be proven to show the defamatory nature of the remarks. We find the charge as a whole was proper, and note that the judge did not preclude the defense from arguing that the alleged defamatory statements were mere insults or name-calling. Keaton v.

Id. Contestants’ evidence surrounds the impropriety of Estha giving family stock to non-family members. Contestants point to inferences that can be drawn from Estha singling out Cook from his other two brothers and the absence of gifts to long-time friends in favor of the charities as more than a scintilla of evidence of undue influence. In spite of these assertions, excluding collateral heirs in favor of charities is not unnatural. See Naihaus v. Feigon, 244 S.W.2d 325 (Tex.Civ.App.-Galveston 1951, writ ref'd n.r.e.) (upholding testatrix’s will disposition which left bulk of estate to two synagogues and rabbi to the exclusion of surviving nieces and nephews); In Re Caruthers’ Estate, 151 S.W.2d 946, 948 (Tex.

Hoskins asks this Panel to interpret § 544(a)(2) to give a trustee all the substantive rights of the hypothetical execution lien creditor, which in California include standing to bring a claim for relief for aiding and abetting fraudulent transfers against a third party. See Neilson v. Union Bank of Cal., N.A., 290 F.Supp.2d 1101, 1118 (C.D.Cal.2003). Other courts within the Ninth Circuit have declined to grant a trustee standing to pursue such a claim, albeit under a different subsection of the strong arm statute. See Wyle v. Howard, Weil, Labouisse, Friedrichs Inc. (In re Hamilton Taft & Co.), 176 B.R. 895, 902 (Bankr.N.D.Cal.1995) (); Ciolino v.

Feasibility of Reorganization The Court has already concluded that Liberty Bank lacks adequate protection. Supra Part 11(C). However, the staggering size of the Danleys’ arrearage and the length of their delinquency also indicated that this case was filed in bad faith. Even with Stacy Danley’s judgment against Alabama State University, the Danleys have no reasonable prospect of confirming a plan that would allow them to keep the properties securing Liberty Bank’s mortgages. When combined with the timing of their prior bankruptcy cases and the lack of good faith in which they were prosecuted, the futility of reorganization in this case is further evidence of a scheme intended to delay or- defraud Liberty Bank. See Henderson, 395 B.R. at 904 (). The Court also gave great weight to the fact ### Response: holding that the objective futility of a reorganization is grounds for a finding of bad faith and for in rem relief " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: failing to promote, reassignment with significantly different responsibilities, or a decision causing a significant change in benefits.” White v.

To be a “significant change in employment status,” the adverse action “must be more disruptive than a mere inconvenience or an alteration of job responsibilities.” Ford v. General Motors Corp., 305 F.3d 545, 553 (6th Cir.2002). Defendant contends that Plaintiffs transfer was simply an inconvenience, not an adverse employment action, because it did not involve a change in title, compensation, responsibility or working conditions.

Although plaintiff argues that the Notice of Levy was deficient because it “did not have a valid OMB number on the form[,] ... did not have a court stamp or ... complete signature,” Compl. U 1, neither section 6331 nor its implementing regulations require this information, see 26 U.S.C. § 6331; 26 C.F.R. §§ 301.6331-1,-2 (2006). Moreover, courts have rejected such arguments.

It may not be clear [to the factfinder] whether a statement by an advocate-witness should be taken as proof or as an analysis of the proof.” Rule 3.7, Comment (2). See also Chapman Engineers v. Natural Gas Sales Co., 766 FSupp. at 957 (14) (“One of the strongest rationales for this lawyer-witness rule is to prevent jury confusion over the separate roles of an advocate and a witness.”). We find, however, that concerns about possible juror confusion are not relevant to pre-trial proceedings. See Culebras Enterprises Corp. v. Rivera-Rios, 846 F2d at 100-101 (II) (); Pyne v.

Petway, 833 So.2d 292, 296 (Fla. 1st DCA 2002). There is one exception to the Rivendell rule: a PTD award to a claimant who has not reached psychiatric MMI is not premature if he or she has reached physical MMI and the award is predicated solely on the physical injury. See McFarlane, Ferguson v. Whaley, 641 So.2d 173 (Fla. 1st DCA 1994), cited in Reyes v. Granite Constr. Co., 894 So.2d 274 (Fla. 1st DCA 2004). This exception does not apply here because the final order’s award of PTD is based on the JCC’s determination that a combination of physical and psychiatric conditions rendered Claimant unemployable and entitled to PTD. We REVERSE the compensation award. Claimant may seek PTD benefits again in the future. Cf. Daws Mfg. Co. v. Ostoyic, 756 So.2d 175 (Fla. 1st DCA 2000) ().

In Haugen, a police officer incurred a back injury while weight lifting at home during his off-duty hours. The injured officer was following a self-designed exercise program in order to meet the physical fitness requirements provided in the job specifications for police officers. Based on the reasoning quoted above, the court held that the officer’s injury was not compensable because it did not occur in the course of or arise from the officer’s employment. See also Meeks v. Eddy County Sheriff’s Dep't, 118 N.M. 643, 646, 884 P.2d 534, 537 (App.) (), cert. denied, 118 N.M. 731, 885 P.2d 1325 ### Response: holding that an employee was not entitled to compensation for suffering an injury from selfdirected offduty athletic activity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: militancy to engender a thorough research and analysis of the major issues.” (Emphasis supplied [by Brimmer court].) Application of these elements leads us to conclude that the first is met because both the pro-life parties and the pro-choice .parties have current, concrete rights or interests relating to this controversy. Our judgment, either allowing the initiative to be included on the ballot, or precluding its inclusion, would effectively operate upon the factual dispute between these parties. Thus, the second element is satisfied. As to the third element, our determination will have the force and effect of a final judgment upon the rights, status, or other legal relationships of the real parties in interest.

Schoeps has offered no contrary view of German law. Simply because Schoeps may be sued in his individual capacity, however, it does not necessarily follow that a declaratory judgment against one individual heir is an appropriate way to proceed. That question involves both an issue of law and an issue of discretion. The issue of law is whether there is an “actual controversy” for declaratory judgment purposes, ie., whether Schoeps as an individual actually has an interest adverse to that of the Museums. See 28 U.S.C. § 2201(a) (authorizing declaratory judgment remedy in cases “of actual controversy”); MedImmune, Inc. v. Genentech, Inc., 549 U.S. 118, -, 127 S.Ct. 764, 771, 166 L.Ed.2d 604 (2007) ().

The district court based its decision on a misapprehension of the extent of its authority under the CJA. Nevertheless, we must affirm its judgment because, on the record before us, Mr. Shippers has not made out a case for contempt. It does not appear that Mr. Shippers’ petition is based on a violation by Mr. Cain or AFTI of any specific order of the district court. See Goluba v. School Dist. of Ripon, 45 F.3d 1035, 1037 (7th Cir.1995) (“To win a motion for civil contempt, a party must prove by clear and convincing evidence that the opposing party violated a court order.” (internal quotation omitted)); D.

Here, Appellant has successfully demonstrated that, but for the Sixth Amendment violation, he would have demanded “termi nation of the proceedings against him on a basis unrelated to factual guilt or innocence.” Both parties, therefore, must be returned to their original position. Once Appellant and the State are returned to the status quo ante, Appellant could be subject to trial for capital murder. Compare Chaffin v.

There is no allegation in the Complaint that the Municipality acted pursuant to a statute, ordinance, or regulation. The complaint did state that the Municipality implemented “customs and policies” wh sometimes lead to governmental liability for breach of contract. See United States v.

I~ike the Senators do here, the defendants in Parker argued that maintenance of the suit in federal court constituted an attack on the sovereignty of the State of New Jersey and its legislative branch. We rejected that argument on the ground that our jurisdiction derived from § 1983, 1331 and 1343, and we proceeded to reach the merits of the case, which we decided against the plaintiff Senators.

Colonial argues that there should be a division of the breach of contract action and the § 75-1.1 claim. However, as evidenced by the jury verdict, the breach of contract accompanied by aggravating factors is what gave rise to the § 75-1.1 claim. Moreover, the court will not allow a defendant to divide the breach of contract action and the conduct which aggravated the breach when in substance there is but one continuous transaction amounting to unfair and deceptive trade practices.

They address the issue of jurisdiction in the context of an accused awaiting trial on pending charges before a court-martial.

(Tr. 547). As will be explained below, the Court finds that Third Circuit precedent does not mandate substantial weight to be given to VA disability determinations, the ALJ gave sufficient consideration to Plaintiffs VA disability rating, and the weight accorded to the VA rating is supported by substantial evidence. i. VA Disability Compensation The VA disability rating process is substantively different from the social security disability determinations. See e.g., Bowyer v.

See 48 U.S.C. § 1541 et seq. The keystone of the government’s argument is that while the ROA lists the specific provisions of the United States Constitution that are applicable to the Virgin Islands, it omits any mention of the Eleventh Amendment. The United States argues that the deliberate omission of the Eleventh Amendment expresses Congress’s intent to exclude the Virgin Islands from the protections afforded by that Amendment. See Gov’t of V.I. v. Bryan, 818 F.2d 1069, 1072 (3d Cir.1987) ().

Under the Government’s theory of the case, Hopson appeared on the scene of the crime as the driver of the getaway van. 7 . We agree that the Government adduced sufficient evidence to satisfy the jurisdictional element as presently interpreted by this court. For example, Sanese's owner testified that Sánese uses money from its vending machines to purchase a variety of out-of-state goods. See United States v. Smith, 182 F.3d 452, 456 (6th Cir.1999) (). 8 .

The facts of this case constitute one of the rare occasions in which equitable tolling under AEDPA is appropriate. The court chose to accommodate the government’s delay in providing King with the voir dire transcripts by issuing a modified scheduling order and in doing so equitably tolled the statute of limitations, given the circumstances of this case. See In re Maughan, 340 F.3d 337, 344 (6th Cir.2003) (ordering time to file extended until the adverse party produced missing documents); Glamer v.

III. In its Motion to Remand, Lanham Ford argues that Ford Motor has failed to present prima facie evidence that the amount in controversy satisfies the $75,000 jurisdictional threshold for federal jurisdiction. See 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a); see also Lupo v. Human Affairs Int’l, Inc., 28 F.3d 269, 273-4 (2d Cir.1994) ().

Miller v. State, 373 So.2d 1004, 1006 (Miss.1979). This ease did not present the proper circumstances constituting a valid search incident to arrest. Without relying on hindsight, the analysis does reach the point where the officers allegedly smelled marijuana since they were unlawfully in the automobile in the first place. Townsend was away from the car when arrested, and the car was closed up for towing. He had no access whatsoever to the car at the time of the search. See New York v. Belton, 453 U.S. 454, 461, 101 S.Ct. 2860, 2864-65, 69 L.Ed.2d 768 (1981) ().

Interstate Fire & Casualty Co., 89 F.3d 1386, 1392 (8th Cir.1996); Marren v. Mutual Life Insurance Co., 84 F.3d 1068, 1070 (8th Cir.1996). Although the district court should have recognized appellants’ right to a jury trial, the district court correctly decided that it, and not the jury, was the decision-maker on the issue of contract interpretation, even though it effected that decision by improperly declaring the jury advisory.

Because the court finds that plaintiffs did not have a claim “pending” in the federal district court for the District of Massachusetts when they filed in this court, the court need not address whether their “claims” are the same in both courts for the purposes of § 1500. Cases in this court that have involved later-filed district court actions have not been dismissed for lack of jurisdiction under § 1500 even if both claims were the same.

State, 442 S.W.2d 354, 357 (Tex.Crim.App.1969) (approving instruction). When the State relies upon testimony that is required by statute to be corroborated, it is error for the trial court not to instruct the jury that the defendant cannot be convicted on such testimony unless there is other evidence tending to connect the defendant with the offense and that evidence showing only the commission of the offense is insufficient. See, e.g., Herron v.

Here, Thomas argues that the jury instruction allowed the jury to convict if the property was taken from “the custody of the victim.” Thomas did not object to the instruction, however, and thus is entitled to relief only if the instruction can be said to constitute fundamental error. An erroneous instruction rises to the level of fundamental error where “the error in the instruction relate[s] to an element of the crime that is a contested issue.” Caldwell v. State, 920 So.2d 727, 731 (Fla. 5th DCA 2006); see also Reed v. State, 837 So.2d 366, 369 (Fla.2002) () (quoting Stewart v.

In particular WHF asks this Court to hold that damages would not accrue until the damages are “fixed and nonspeculative.” Alagia, Day, Trautwein & Smith v. Broadbent, 882 S.W.2d 121, 126 (Ky.1994).

Ms. James denied having that conversation with Ms. Kyser. Id. Mr. James argued in his petition that because “Ms. Kyser was not at trial for [him] to confront or cross-examine in open court,” the prosecutor’s question violated his Confrontation Clause rights. Id. The district court determined the prosecutor’s question was not testimonial and therefore did not implicate the Confrontation Clause. See Crawford v.

Procedurally, however, the government’s main argument is that “AG in actuality challenges the June 1985 RO decision regarding the finality of the April 1983 RO decision,” Respondent’s Br. 10-11, and that AG can only challenge the 1985 decision through a CUE claim as a result of that decision’s finality. The government further states that “AG had an opportunity to directly appeal the June 1985 determination and argue the applicability of the equitable tolling doctrine ... but he did not do so and that decision also became final.” Id. at 11. Thus, according to the government, a challenge to the 1983 determination would instead have to be brought as a CUE claim. See Cook v. Pnncipi, 318 F.3d 1334, 1337 (Fed.Cir.2002) (en banc) ().

Principal Mut. Life Ins. Co., 516 N.W.2d 792, 794 (Iowa 1994)). The plaintiffs assert section 516A.1 evidences a public policy that all automobile insurance policies include UIM coverage unless rejected by the named insured. The public policy underlying the UIM statute is not so broad, however. As we have discussed, this court has consistently recognized that section 516A.1 requires UIM coverage only for persons “who are protected by the liability coverage.” Hornick, 511 N.W.2d at 373. Here, Scott is not protected by the liability coverage, and therefore, chapter 516A does not require that he be protected by the UIM coverage. Consequently, the public policy of chapter 516A is not thwarted by enforcement of the named driver exclusion. Cf. Lopez, 890 P.2d at 196 (); Gheae v. Founders Ins.

See id., at 49, 112 S.Ct. 1735 (citing cases). In light of those holdings, and recognizing the historical function of the grand jury as an independent investigatory body which acts as a buffer between the citizenry and government, the Court has been reluctant to measure the enforceability of grand jury subpoenas against the same standards applicable to search warrants. See, e.g., Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43, 76, 26 S.Ct. 370, 50 L.Ed. 652 (1906) (); United States v.

In the present case, it is uncontested that neither expert shares the board certification with the defendant physician, Dr. Nix. Dr. Zenilman and Dr. Vaccaro are not board certified family physicians; Dr. Zenilman is a board certified infectious disease physician (internal medicine with a subspecialty board certification in infectious diseases.) Dr. Vaccaro is a board certified orthopedic neurosurgeon. Since it is uncontested that the experts do not share the same board certification as Dr. Nix, they must fall under exception (e) to qualify under the MCARE Act to provide standard of care testimony.

The whole issue of whether the Bankruptcy Court was acting without Jurisdiction in entering the Amended Final Judgment of Default hinges on the inclusion of the “execution issue” language that was included in the Amended Final Judgment of Default. The purpose of such language was to enable Appellee to enforce the judgment. However, at this time, Appellee is not in a position to execute upon or otherwise enforce its rights under the judgment because this Court, in Appeal Number 93-939-CIV-T-17B, set aside the Bankruptcy Court’s damage determination and remanded the case for an evi-dentiary hearing on damages. Such hearing has yet to take place and until is does this issue is essentially moot. See Mills v. Green, 159 U.S. 651, 16 S.Ct. 132, 40 L.Ed. 293 (1895) ().

[¶ 11] For purposes of valid service of process, suing state officials solely in their official capacities, as opposed to suing them in their individual or personal capacities, is tantamount to suing the State itself.

The court agrees with defendants that Dr. Eisenstein, as limited partner of the Centre, through which he delivers medical services, signed the lien in connection with a debt owed to the Centre. Therefore, this exclusion applies. Defendants also argue that the “common ownership” language in § 1692a(6)(B) excludes Dr. Eisenstein from “debt collector” status. Kang responds that this section is inapplicable because the Centre is not a limited partnership and Dr. Eisenstein is not a limited partner of a medical provider. However, Kang admits in his Rule 12M Response that Dr. Eisenstein is a partner of the Cen-tre. Courts have broadly interpreted both FDCPA exclusions. See Meads v.

In the default judgment, the court indicated that it had conducted a hearing on the motion for default judgment on December 16, and was aware of Hogan’s motions to dismiss and opposition to the motion for default judgment. Nevertheless, the court entered judgment against Hogan in the amount of $111,422.50. Hogan correctly argues that the lower court erred in entering a final default judgment against him where the complaint failed to allege any allegations against him, much less allege a cause of action. In Becerra v. Equity Imports, Inc., 551 So.2d 486 (Fla. 3d DCA 1989), the court held that the failure to state a cause of action is a fatal pleading deficiency not curable by a default judgment.

On this point, the government argues that the true harm from disqualification is grounded in separation of powers.

Further, although not noted by the government, the Constitution grants the Executive the power to “take care that the laws are faithfully executed.” U.S. Const, art. II, § 3. Although caselaw is admittedly vague on the exact scope of this power, it is clear that this constitutional provision vests the Executive with substantial discretion in choosing when and how to prosecute cases. See, e.g., United States v. Andersen, 940 F.2d 593, 596 (10th Cir.1991) (); United States v.

The BIA did not violate petitioners’ due process rights.

We lack jurisdiction to consider petitioners’ remaining contentions because they arise from the agency’s underlying decision to deny cancellation of removal. Petitioners failed to seek review of that decision within the 30-day time limit prescribed by 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(1). See Stone v. INS, 514 U.S. 386, 405, 115 S.Ct. 1537, 131 L.Ed.2d 465 (1995) ().

In light of the complexity and confusion in the law on this issue, it is hard to believe that this somewhat Delphic footnote will bear the weight which Defendants place on it. 71 . It is noteworthy that cases involving the FTC’s determinations of materiality are consistent with the Court's finding here, even though such cases are brought pursuant to the FTC Act rather than the RICO statute. As a general rule, deceptive advertising or claims permit an inference ""that the deception will constitute a material factor in a purchaser’s decision to buy.” FTC v. Colgate-Palmolive Co., 380 U.S. 374, 391-92, 85 S.Ct. 1035, 13 L.Ed.2d 904 (1965); see also FTC v. Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp., 778 F.2d 35, 40-43 (D.C.Cir.1985) (); FTC v.

Moreover, consent is an exception to the requirements of both the Iowa and Federal Constitutions, and it would be inconsistent with our judicial role under the circumstances to eschew our state constitution and interpret the issue under the Federal Constitution unless 2d 339, 341 (1998) ().

By the same token, the federal habeas tolling provision should not be invoked except when a federal claim remains unexhausted in state court. Tolling is the complement of the exhaustion requirement. We hold, therefore, that a state petition for post-conviction or other collateral review must present a federally cognizable claim for it to toll the statute of limitations pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2). Austin’s post-conviction complaint regarding the missing language of his indictment failed to satisfy this requirement. However, his second complaint in the state post-conviction proceeding, regarding ineffective assistance of appellate counsel, does raise a federal constitutional claim. See Evitts v. Lucey, 469 U.S. 387, 396, 105 S.Ct. 830, 83 L.Ed.2d 821 (1985) ().

Heeding this mandate, some prevailing case law inclined to the pleading leniency Conley demanded. In securities fraud cases, despite the particularity required by Fed.R.Civ.P. 9(b) for averments constituting the circumstances of the fraud asserted and the scienter requirement Hochfelder propounded, some courts permitted generalized pleadings or relaxed specificity of the requisite fraudulent intent to survive motions to dismiss, relying for authority on the language of Rule 9(b) itself, which provides that “malice, intent, knowledge, and other condition of mind, may be averred generally”. See In re GlenFed, Inc. Sec.

Standard of Review The parties disagree over what standard of review we should apply in analyzing the district court’s conclusion that the law of the case holds that the Lummi U & A does not include the waters west of northern Whidbey Island. The Klallam argue that the correct standard of review is abuse of discretion, and that there are only five circumstances under which a district court abuses its discretion in applying the law of the ease, none of which applies here.

Because the latter case is unpublished, it has no precedential force. See, e.g., Salamalekis v. Commissioner of Soc. Security, 221 F.3d 828, 833 (6th Cir. 2000). As in Byrd, the Sixth Circuit in Catz simply assumed without discussion that Rule 4(m) requires a finding of good cause. Thus neither case is binding. See Madar, 218 B.R. at 383 n. 1; see also Wise v. Department of Defense, 196 F.R.D. 52, 56 (S.D.Ohio 1999) (Rice, J.) (); Slenzka v.

To the extent this claim is based on Mitsubishi’s use of the phrase “1080p” to describe Plaintiffs television, under Cal. Com.Code § 2813, it also fails. Notwithstanding counsel’s argument to the contrary, Plaintiffs television satisfies his expert’s definition of 1080p, insofar as it is ready to receive a native 1080p signal through its antenna if and when broadcasters begin transmitting in 1080p. Plaintiffs belated reliance on the television’s “Parts” warranty is unavailing, as he never invoked that warranty below. See Carmen v. S.F. Unified Sch.

Plaintiffs introduced no evidence to support the proposition that a covenant restricting competition of the kind at issue in this case, anywhere in the world, is reasonable in terms of scope; nor have Plaintiffs pointed to any cases in this jurisdiction that would support the Court drawing such a conclusion. Indeed, the case law suggests just the opposite. See, e.g., Silipos, Inc. v. Bickel, No. 06 Civ. 2205(RCC), 2006 WL 2265055, at *6 (S.D.N.Y.2006) (); Heartland Sec. Corp. v.

Contrary to Dwyer’s assertion, possession of an unregistered weapon is not akin to ‘simple’ possession. Rather, the statute making possession of an unregistered weapon illegal is targeted at specific weapons deemed to be particularly dangerous. See United States v.

Madden, 515 F.3d 601, 611 (6th Cir.2008). In his sentencing position paper, Escalon-Velasquez did not argue that a within-Guidelines sentence would waste government resources. His counsel raised the issue only at the end of his presentation, stating cursorily that “the resources that we would expend in incarcerating him any longer than necessary for him to be — for him to be deported should also be taken into consideration.” (Sentencing Hr’g Tr. 14.) We therefore conclude that the argument was raised “only in passing,” and the court was not required to address explicitly this mitigating argument to satisfy the constitutional requirement of procedural reasonableness.

In re M.S., 115 S.W.3d 534, 544 (Tex.2003) (""we believe that '[i]t would seem a useless gesture on the one hand to recognize the importance of counsel in termination proceedings, as evidenced by the statutory right to appointed counsel, and, on the other hand, not require that counsel perform effectively’ ”). The supreme courts of several other states have examined statutes that provide a right to counsel and have held that the right to counsel entails that such counsel be effective. See Patchette v.

We previously vacated and remanded for the district court to reconsider the unrelated issue of whether Schoenfeld’s debt was dischargeable under the Bankruptcy Code, and did not disturb the district court’s order as it pertained to Schoen-feld’s violations of ERISA. In addition, contrary to Schoenfeld’s contention, the satisfaction of his debt did not moot the injunctive relief designed to protect against future violations of ERISA. See F.T.C. v.

Debtor’s argument is flawed for several reasons. First, whether Magnolia’s interest in the hotel room revenues is characterized as personal property or as real property, Magnolia has a continuing security interest in the revenues under § 552(b)(2). Unlike other forms of cash collateral, a pre-petition security interest in hotel room revenues continues to attach to post petition revenues. 11 U.S.C. § 552(b). Under these circumstances, the offer of a replacement lien on the post-petition rents is meaningless because the creditor already has a lien on these assets. See In re Buttermilk Towne Center, LLC, 442 B.R. 558, 566 (6th Cir.

Id. at 859-60. Thus, under Wilson, there was no limit on how low the district court in this case could have departed under § 3553(e) as long as the extent of the departure was reasonable under 18 U.S.C. § 3742(e). This reading of Wilson is con sistent with decisional law from one of our sister circuits. Cf. United States v. Auld, 321 F.3d 861, 867 (9th Cir.2002) ().

We review the question of whether the district court properly interpreted the applicable law de novo. See Gallegos v. N.M.

However, Ghori-Ahmad offers a clearer example of materially adverse action in alleging that USCIRF reduced her workload and downgraded the quality of her assignments.'

Peters, 475 F.3d 360, 365 (D.C.Cir.2007) (“Whether a particular reassignment of duties constitutes an adverse action for purposes of Title VII is generally a jury question”). Changes in job duties and responsibilities are not actionable where they cause a purely subjective harm to reputation or satisfaction, but may at a certain magnitude become materially adverse.

Scroggins v. City of Topeka, Kan., 2 F.Supp.2d at 1371. On the other hand, two district court cases out of California have concluded that a very similar restriction to Section 5Ff were facially invalid viewpoint-based speech restrictions. In Baca v. Moreno Valley Unified Sch. Dist., 936 F.Supp. at 725, Judge Timlin struck down a policy providing that “[n]o oral or written presentation in open session shall include charges or complaints against any employee of the District, regardless of whether or not the employee is identified by name.” 936 F.Supp. at 725.

Hickerson, 146 F.3d at 107 (internal quotation marks omitted). 5 . The Court's assertion of the time, place, and manner test in Young notably omitted that test's traditional content-neutrality requirement. See, e.g., Clark v.

While Fed.R.Civ.P. 9(b) provides that: “all averments of fraud or mistake, the circumstances constituting fraud or mistake shall be stated with particularity,” Rule 9(b) only applies to allegations of actual fraud. Furthermore, this Court takes the view that claims of constructive fraud, i.e. fraudulent transfers, are evaluated using Rule 8(a)(2). A fraudulent transfer complaint “need only set forth the facts with sufficient particularity to apprise the defendant fairly of the charges made against him.” In re Astro-Power Liquidating Trust, 335 B.R. 309, 333 (Bankr.D.Del.2005) ().

This is the proper procedure when imposing a non-guideline sentence. See United States v. Smith, 440 F.3d 704, 708 (5th Cir.2006). Whether an upward departure would have been warranted is immaterial, because the court made an upward deviation outside the guidelines range, instead of an upward departure. See id. at 708 n. 3. Sterling’s assertion that the sentence imposed was unreasonable because the court imposed a non-guideline sentence instead of an upward departure story and offense conduct as found by the district court, the extent of the deviation, while large, was not unreasonable.

See Cao He Lin v. DOJ, 428 F.3d 391, 406 (2d Cir.2005). Because the IJ found that Veretelnikov was credible and the BIA did not disturb that finding, we assume his credibility. See Yan Chen, 417 F.3d at 271-72. We conclude that the BIA properly reversed the IJ’s grant of the petitioners’ application for asylum. Even assuming that Veretelnikov had established that the treatment he faced at the hands of the Uzbekistani government was on account of a protected ground, he failed to establish that “any future punishment for his failure to perform mandatory military service for which he contracted constitutes persecution.” See In re A-G- 19 I. & N.

Nonetheless, judicial construction of the §85K of the same chapter does provide adequate guidance. §85K limits the lia bility of charitable organizations for torts committed in the course of activities conducted to directly accomplish its charitable purposes. The provision caps liability at $20,000. The Supreme Judicial Court has broadly construed the statute stating that only activities with no connection to the organization’s charitable purpose fall outside of the statute’s protection.

The Tax Court noted that the true net cost of the CARDS transaction to Crispin was only $72,926, primarily the structuring fee paid to Chenery and the cost of the Pullman Opinion.

Because we conclude that the evidence presented prior to the initial close of the prosecution’s case was sufficiently strong to identify Castaneda, we need not reach Castaneda’s second contention. The explicit identification presented after the reopening did not affect the outcome of the case, and therefore even if we were to assume that the court erred in allowing the prosecution to reopen its case, any such error was harmless.

The court concludes that the torts allegedly committed by the defendants-assault, infliction of emotional distress and negligence-stem from the defendants providing special education services pursuant to a delegated state responsibility. The defendants are therefore entitled to sovereign immunity from liability on counts five, six and seven of the complaint. See Todd M. v.

The supervisor added that Costilla needed to be strong and attend the meeting because Minnesota’s connection to the national level depended on it.

Ms. Goren alleges that Direct and October knew that there was “no basis” for certain statements on Dr. Wallach’s tape (“Dead Doctors Don’t Lie”), R.21 ¶ 32, that unspecified misrepresentations regarding New Vision products appear in “free literature published and/or distributed” by Direct, R.21 ¶ 63, and that Direct and October “conducted or participated in the conduct of the affairs of the enterprise [New Vision]” through a pattern of racketeering activity. R.21 ¶¶ 110 & 118. These conclusory allegations fail to specify the time, place and content of any of the misrepresentations attributed to these defendants and therefore fall short of the particularity demanded by Rule 9(b). See Robin v. Arthur Young & Co., 915 F.2d 1120, 1127 (7th Cir.1990) (), cert. denied, 499 U.S. 923, 111 S.Ct. 1317 ### Response: holding that plaintiffs must provide more than conclusory allegations to satisfy rule 9bs requirement that circumstances of fraud be pleaded with particularity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in 2012, including his failure to successfully complete the 2012 PIP. Dr. Chawla does not claim that Ms. Garfield or Ms. Kaplan acted with discriminatory animus and does not raise a material dispute with Ms. Garfield’s assessment of his 2012 performance, including that, after May 10, 2012, he continued to “make reporting and other errors,” “to not perform work assigned to him by his leader,” “delegate[ ] tasks assigned to him by his leader,” and “communicate in a confrontational and nonproductive manner that prevents meaningful conversation.” Docket No. 37-8 at 9-11. Thus, Dr. Chawla’s attempt to cast doubt on LMC’s other stated reasons, namely, Dr. Chawla’s work performance prior to 2012, does not cast doubt on LMC’s predominant reason for termination. Cf. Bryant, 432 F.3d at 1126-27 ().

IV. For the foregoing reasons, we find that the factual resumes submitted in support of Hildenbrand’s and Stone’s guilty pleas are sufficient to sustain their convictions. The remaining issues appellants raise are related to their sentences.

Holman v. Bane, 698 So.2d 117, 119 (Ala. 1997). Pursuant to caselaw, the failure to award attorney fees also does not render the summary judgment nonfinal. See Gonzalez, LLC v.

State, 718 So.2d 1274 (Fla. 2d DCA 1998), the defendant was driving a car when it was stopped by police. While the defendant was being handcuffed, a passenger was alone in the car. Police subsequently found a gun in the car that was not readily visible. This court reversed the defendant’s conviction for felon in possession of a firearm, holding that the State did not show that the defendant had actual knowledge of the gun or other circumstances from which the jury could possibly infer knowledge. See 718 So.2d at 1275. See also Green v. State, 586 So.2d 86 (Fla. 2d DCA 1991) ().

Blakeley v. United Cable System, 105 F.Supp.2d. 574, 578 (S.D.Miss.2000). And the majority of courts—including the Fifth Circuit—recognize that even after expiration of this thirty-day period, a defendant may still amend its removal petition in order to cure defective allegations of jurisdiction. See Howery v. Allstate Ins. Co., 243 F.3d 912, 920 n. 9 (5th Cir.2001); (“[Pjrior to judgment, a party may amend its pleadings to allege omitted jurisdictional facts”); Whitmire v.

In any event, however, the omnibus clause of § 1512 was not enacted. After the Senate had passed its version, the House debated that bill together with its own victim protection bill. A section-by-section analysis of the House bill indicates that the House Judiciary Committee was also aware that some courts were interpreting § 1503 narrowly. 128 Cong.Rec. 26,350 (1982). The analysis cites Metcalf, 435 F.2d 754 (applying the ejusdem generis rule and stating that “the manner in which the statute may be violated would ordinarily seem to be limited to intimidating actions,” id. at 757), and United States v.

Further, he was hitting the building with the bat, which could be a form of intimidation. (R. 47, Sent. Tr. 8, PagelD# 146). We agree with the district court that Wagoner’s conduct evidenced an intent to carry out his threat against Carey, warranting application of the 6-level increase under U.S.S.G. § 2A6.1(b)(l). Wagoner told Carey, “If you do not give me my check by Friday, I will come and terminate you.” (R. 30, Notice of Factual Basis 2, Pa-gelD# 86). On Friday, Wagoner went to the SSA office with an aluminum bat and said, “If I do not get my money today someone is going to get hurt.” (Id.). Going to where Carey worked on the stated deadline with an aluminum bat establishes a nexus between Wagoner’s conduct and his threat to “terminate” Carey. See Newell, 309 F.3d at 402 ().

On February 2, 2000 Bio-vail moved for reconsideration under FRCP 60(b) and on February 4, 2000 it filed a notice of appeal (No. 00-5050). The district court subsequently denied the motion for reconsideration and Biovail noticed its appeal of that decision (No. 00-5396) on November 3, 2000.

The depressions in the walkway had been there since it was constructed more than eighteen years ago. Yet, there was no evidence of other falls attributable to this condition. Nor was there evidence of any complaints about this condition. Dietz argues that her own deposition testimony regarding the circumstances of her fall, while not conclusive evidence, constitutes sufficient evidence of the unreasonable risk of harm to defeat summary judgment. We disagree. Standing alone, Dietz’s testimony does no more than create a mere surmise or suspicion of an unreasonable risk of harm. We conclude Dietz failed to bring forth evidence to raise a genuine issue of material fact regarding the existence of a condition posing an unreasonable risk of harm. See Brinson, 228 S.W.3d at 163 ().

Second, Manuel claims that there was insufficient evidence to convict him of felony murder because the jury could not have concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that Peterson was shot “in the perpetration of’ or “in the flight from the perpetration of’ the underlying felony of attempted sale of a controlled substance. Point One Manuel complains that Instruction No. 5, the verdict director for felony murder, failed to submit all of the essential elements of the crime. The State proffered the verdict director for felony murder, and Manuel’s counsel stated that he had no objection to the instruction. Manuel' thus concedes that his allegation of error regarding the instruction is not preserved for appellate review. State v. Vaughn, 11 S.W.3d 98, 105 (Mo.App.W.D. 2000) ().

One court of appeals, reading the language of section 3582(c)(2) broadly, has held that a district court has authority to reduce a sentence imposed pursuant to a C-type plea agreement. See United States v. Cobb, 584 F.3d 979, 985 (10th Cir.2009). We begin our analysis with the elementary proposition that a court, within wide limits, should interpret a plea agreement according to principles of contract law. United States v.

In short, there was no ex post facto problem with the District Court’s application of the remedial holding of Booker at sentencing because Fairclough had fair warning that his conduct was criminal, that enhancements or upward departures could be applied to his sentence under the Guidelines based on judicial fact-findings, and that he could be sentenced as high as the statutory maximum of ten (10) years. See Vaughn, 430 F.3d at 524. We see no need to adopt a different rule in this context. See United States v. Austin, 432 F.3d 598, 2005 WL 3317773 (5th Cir.2005) (); United States v.

To do that, the police should have had a warrant. There was no exigency, the tape was not about to leave their possession. Furthermore, Deputy Roed's inspection of the printout's contents constituted a search regardless of whether she was lawfully in possession of the printout. Legal possession of an article does not endow law enforcement officials with any concomitant authority to also search the contents of the article. See, e.g., Walter v. United States, 447 U.S. 649, 654 (1980) (Stevens, J. concurring), (stating that, ""[t]he fact that FBI agents were lawfully in possession of the boxes of film did not give them authority to search their contents.""); United States v.

Neither the Rhode Island legislature nor the Rhode Island Supreme Court has yet established or recognized the existence of an independent tort for the spoliation of evidence. While both the magistrate judge and the district court judge concluded that the Rhode Island Supreme Court would not create such a tort, we see no need to delve into the unchartered waters of Rhode Island law and endeavor to prophesize whether the Rhode Island Supreme Court would adopt an independent tort for spoliation of evidence. Compare, e.g., Fletcher v. Dorchester Mut. Ins. Co., 437 Mass. 544, 773 N.E.2d 420, 426 (2002) (declining to recognize an independent tort for spoliation of evidence) with Torres v. El Paso Elec.

Brown, 989 So.2d 723 (Fla. 1st DCA 2008), an abuse of discretion may be established in various ways, including a showing that the Commission deviated from the legal requirements imposed upon it, such as the obligation to review the inmate’s complete record and to articulate the basis for its decision. In the petition for writ of mandamus filed in the circuit court, Thomas asserted that the Commission had not complied with rules 23-21.0155 or 23-21.0161, Florida Administrative Code, and failed to articulate the basis for its decision. We conclude that this claim stated a basis for relief. See Alday v. Fla. Parole Comm’n, 58 So.3d 327 (Fla. 1st DCA 2011) ().

Defendants claim that these cases apply only where the state has provided for a direct primary, whereas New York has opted for an indirect delegate primary election followed by a convention at which those delegates vote on the nomination. This variation in the process of public choice does not release the State from its First Amendment obligations. The animating principle in Classic and Terry is that constitutional protection extends to each State-created or State-endorsed “integral part of the election machinery,” not merely to one particular kind of primary election. Classic, 313 U.S. at 318, 61 S.Ct. 1031; see also Terry, 345 U.S. at 469, 73 S.Ct. 809; Bullock, 405 U.S. at 146, 92 S.Ct. 849 ().

It is unnecessary, however, for the court to engage in a detailed comity analysis because when none of the recognized exceptions to the doctrine apply, and the dispute concerns a “reservation affair” or the dispute “arises on the reservation” “there is no discretion not to defer” to the tribal courts. Kerr-McGee, 115 F.3d at 1507 (quoting Zah, 5 F.3d at 1378). Thus, federal courts may abstain without first analyzing the comity and tribal sovereignty issues discussed in National Fanners.

Commonwealth v. McEnany, 732 A.2d 1263, 1267 (Pa.Super.1999), appeal granted, 562 Pa. 667, 753 A.2d 816 (2000), appeal dismissed as improvidently granted, 565 Pa. 138, 771 A.2d 1260 (2001). ¶ 9 Under Pennsylvania law, the doctrine of law of the case does not have an absolute preclusive effect. Benson v. Benson, 425 Pa.Super. 215, 624 A.2d 644, 647 (1993), appeal denied, 536 Pa. 637, 639 A.2d 22 (1994). Most jurisdictions similarly hold the law of the case doctrine is not an absolute rule. See, e.g., State v. Moeck, 280 Wis.2d 277, 695 N.W.2d 783, 789 (2005) (); Owen v.

A jury trial was held in June 1986 to determine the reasonable costs of defense and IFF was awarded $834,913. IFF now seeks to recover its legal costs in connection with defending the declaratory judgment action brought by CU. Discussion It is well settled, under New York law, that an insured may recover the reasonable legal expenses which it incurred in defense of a declaratory judgment action brought by the insurer to free itself from its obligation to defend; however, the expenses incurred in prosecuting claims against the insurer are not recoverable. See Mighty Midgets, Inc. v. Centennial Insurance Co., 47 N.Y.2d 12, 389 N.E.2d 1080, 416 N.Y.S.2d 559 (1979); Johnson v. General Mutual Insurance Co., 24 N.Y.2d 42, 298 N.Y.S.2d 937, 939, 246 N.E.2d 713, 715 (1969) (); Hurney v. Mattson, 59 A.D.2d 934, 399 N.Y. ### Response: holding that insured could recover the costs of defending a declaratory judgment action brought by the injured party to compel the insurer to defend but could not recover the costs associated with prosecuting crossclaims against the insurer " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 475(c) is not categorically a forgery offense. See Vizcarra-Ayala v. Mukasey, 514 F.3d 870, 877 (9th Cir.2008). Therefore, Ramirez’s crime cannot be an aggravated felony under the categorical approach. If a state statute is “categorically broader than the generic definition of a crime,” as here, we then apply the modified categorical approach. See Taylor v. United States, 495 U.S. 575, 600-02, 110 S.Ct. 2143, 109 L.Ed.2d 607 (1990) (applying a two-step analysis, using first a categorical approach and then a modified categorical approach). However, because California Penal Code § 475(c) is missing an essential element of the generic forgery offense, we may not analyze this case under a modified categorical approach. Navarro-Lopez v. Gonzales, 503 F.3d 1063, 1073 (9th Cir.2007) (en banc) (). For the foregoing reasons, Ramirez has not ### Response: holding modified categorical approach unavailable where the statute of conviction was missing an element of the generic definition " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: abridged in any way. The PCRA court’s ruling is supported by the record and is free of legal error. As noted, Pennsylvania Rule of Criminal Procedure 801 provides -for education and experiential qualifications for defense counsel in capital cases. At issue here are the educational requirements, which mandate “18 hours of training relevant to representation in capital cases, as approved by the Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board.” Pa.R.Crim.P. 801(2)(a). Our June 4, 2004 order adopting Rule 801 utilized “phase-in” language, directing counsel to receive six credits for the time period prior to Attorney Speice’s appointment on September 2, 2005. The parties herein agree that six hours of capital case educational training were required at the tim , 193 (2010) (citations omitted) (). Accordingly, the PCRA court did not err in ### Response: holding that a lawyers inexperience in capital cases does not render him presumptively ineffective as inexperience alone is not equivalent to ineffectiveness rather all the elements of an ineffectiveness claim must be satisfied " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: their allegation that the defendants were required to comply with the unsigned May 31, 2000 IEP, rather than the previous, signed February 3, 2000 IEP. At the time the plaintiffs filed this complaint, the California superior court had issued a ruling enforcing the February 3 rather than the May 31 IEP. The plaintiffs appealed that decision to the California court of appeal and at the same time filed this action. We affirm the district court’s dismissal of this action under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine because, at the time the plaintiffs’ complaint was filed, the district court could not find in their favor on any of their claims without determining that the California superior court’s decision enforcing the February 3 IEP was wrong. Doe v. Napolitano, 252 F.3d 1026, 1030 (9th Cir.2001) ().

Vance, 677 S.W.2d at 482. The doctrine of substantial performance recognizes that the contractor has not completed construction, and therefore is in breach of the contract. Id. Under the doctrine, however, the owner cannot use the contractor’s failure to complete the work as an excuse for non-payment. Atkinson, 270 S.W. at 850. “By reason of this rule a contractor who has in good faith substantially performed a building contract is permitted to sue under the contract, substantial performance being regarded as full performance, so far as a condition precedent to a right to recover thereunder is concerned.” Id.

See 1917 G.L. § 3992 (“[T]he overseer of the poor shall be under the control and direction of the selectmen, and may, for cause, be removed by them.”). And the term was recognized by the courts as placing a limit on the discretion of employers to terminate employment at will. See Rutter, 89 Vt. at 26, 93 A. at 848 (stating that under city charter that requires cause for removal “there must be something which in law amounts to incapacity, negligence or bad conduct, to sustain the removal”). The Legislature continues to use the term “for cause” as a limit on an employer’s removal power, even absent use of the word “only.” See, e.g., Turnley v. Town of Vernon, 2013 VT 42, ¶¶ 13-19, 194 Vt. 42, 71 A.3d 1246 ().

Thus, no genuine issues of material fact exist over whether the officers used deadly force in an objectively unreasonable manner. In addition, the Manigaults’ claim that the officers approached them son in a way that violated his Fourth Amendment rights must fail. Although the officers were trained to maintain a distance of at least 21 feet when facing a suspect carrying a knife, their abandonment of this protocol cannot form the basis for a remedy under § 1983 or deprive them of qualified immunity. See Collins v. City of Harker Heights, 503 U.S. 115, 119, 112 S.Ct. 1061, 117 L.Ed.2d 261 (1992) (); Davis v.

Id. (citing Estates of Morgan v. Fairfield Family Counseling Ctr., 77 Ohio St.3d 284, 673 N.E.2d 1311, 1319 (1997)). However, the government must exercise reasonable care in performing responsibilities it has assumed and “conform to the standards which it sets for itself.” Dreyer v.

Evatt, 902 F.2d 273, 277 (4th Cir.1990) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). The determination of a traditional “market rate” is especially pro blematic in the context of claims brought under the BLBA and the LHWCA, in view of their general prohibition of fee agreements between counsel and prospective claimants. See 38 U.S.C. § 928(e); 20 C.F.R. § 802.203(f); Cox, 602 F.3d at 290 (observing that “[t]he highly regulated markets governed by fee-shifting statutes are undoubtedly constrained and atypical”). However, despite such difficulties, a prevailing market rate still must be determined in BLBA and LHWCA cases before the relevant agency adjudicator may decide an attorney’s reasonable hourly rate. Cox, 602 F.3d at 290; see also Blum, 465 U.S. at 895, 104 S.Ct. 1541 ().

Finally, Davis asserted that there were similarly situated, non-homosexual, insulin-dependant diabetic inmates who participated in the public-works program and who were allowed to continue working in the program after this incident. The combined effect of these alleged facts, taken as true at this stage of the litigation, lead us to conclude that Davis has stated a plausible claim that he was improperly removed from the public-works program based upon the defendants’ anti-gay animus. Dismissal of this claim was improper. See Johnson v. Enable, 862 F.2d 314 (table), 1988 WL 119136, at *1 (4th Cir. 1988) ().

This is consistent with the parties' indications that service was accomplished through personal delivery. (See, e.g., Doc. 4 at 5 (referring to ""the delivery of the complaint ... to the Plaintiff”).) Because the court's resolution of this claim rests ultimately upon the timing, not the manner, of service, the manner of service is not dispositive. 16 . To the extent Defendants’ position relies upon the assumption that only communications with the consumer can constitute ""collection of the debt,” they have not provided any authority to support it and it is contrary to case law. Cf., e.g., Edeh v. Midland Credit Mgmt., Inc., 748 F.Supp.2d 1030, 1035-36 (D.Minn.2010) (), aff'd, No. 10-3441, 413 Fed.

Nationwide Mut. Ins. Co., 710 F.3d 640, 642 (6th Cir.2013). An employee who satisfies all three elements falls within this “administrative exemption.” See Renfro v. Ind. Mich.

While we do not approve of Safety's failure to acknowledge Cinergy's letters, given the facts of this case, including the fact that Safety had issued excess umbrella policies that would not be implicated until after the primary and umbrella policies, we cannot conclude that Safety's silence equated to an express denial of coverage. Therefore, we must conclude that the trial court erred by concluding that Safety waived its right to arbitrate by failing to respond to Cinergy's letters. See, eg., Protective Ins., 428 N.E.2d at 661 (noting that ""the failure of [the insurance company] to respond to the demand to defend letter is not evidence that [the insurance company] intended to waive its right to deny coverage""); see also MPACT, 802 N.E.2d at 910 ().

White City Shopping Ctr., LP v. PR Restaurants LLC, 21 Mass.L.Rptr. 565, 2006 WL 3292641 (Mass.Super.Ct. Oct. 31, 2006) ().

See, e.g., FCC v. Fox Television Stations, Inc., — U.S. -, 132 S.Ct. 2307, 2320, 183 L.Ed.2d 234 (2012). It follows, therefore, that because the Guidelines are “equivalent” to regulations, which are subject to constitutional challenges such as vagueness, the Guidelines should also be subject to vagueness challenges. Indeed, the Supreme Court has resolved both constitutional challenges to the Guidelines as a whole and individual Guidelines provisions. See, e.g., Mistretta v. United States, 488 U.S. 361, 109 S.Ct. 647, 102 L.Ed.2d 714 (1989) (upholding Guidelines as constitutional, not an excessive delegation of legislative power or a violation of the separation-of-powers doctrine); Wade v.

Thus, the Amended Plan satisfies 11 U.S.C. §§ 1122 and 1123(a). Further, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 1123(b), the Amended Plan properly preserves the Debtor’s ability to prosecute the Adversary Proceeding. See In re Tex. Gen. Petroleum Corp., 52 F.3d 1330, 1335 n. 4 (5th Cir.1995) (explaining that a debt- or may retain post-confirmation causes of action if the plan so provides). However, to the extent that the Amended Plan makes a blanket reservation of causes of action that may be pursued by the Debtor, these generic causes of action may not be preserved.

Because plaintiffs simultaneously filed a request for release of lien and an administrative claim for damages, the government argues they failed to file a proper request for certificate of release “prior” to filing their administrative claim for damages. As such, the government argues plaintiffs failed to exhaust their administrative remedies because their administrative claim for damages did not literally include a copy of a request for a certificate of release filed in accordance with § 401.6325-1©. The standard for taxpayer compliance with the statutory and regulatory requirements is high. See Venen, 38 F.3d at 103 (failure to petition IRS correctly constitutes failure to exhaust administrative remedies); Amwest Surety Ins. Co. v.

The liability of any partner is limited to wrongful acts occurring “while the defendant was a partner”, Halperin v. Edwards and Hanly, 430 F.Supp. 121, 125 (E.D.N.Y.1977). Thus, before a defendant may be found liable for the acts of his partners it must be found: (1) that the partner committed the acts at issue in the ordinary course of the business of the partnership and (2) that the defendant was a partner at the time the acts were committed. Because the nature of their liability is joint and several, it has been held that a partner is not an indispensible party in an action naming other partners or the partnership as parties defendant. See Cone Mills Corp. v. Hurdle, 369 F.Supp. 426, 438 (N.D.Miss.1974) ().

Nevertheless, the hearing proceeded as scheduled. When the trial court inquired of coverage counsel if he was prepared to present evidence, coverage counsel stated to the court: “This can be decided as a matter of law.” At the conclusion of the hearing, the trial court entered an order denying Coutts’s motion. On appeal, Coutts maintains, inter alia, that the trial court erred because it failed to afford the appellant an evidentia-ry hearing. This argument is without merit, as Coutts’s coverage counsel affirmatively advised the court that no eviden-tiary hearing was necessary and that the issue could be decided as a matter of law.

With this caveat in mind and after careful review of the record, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in impliedly ruling that the plaintiffs’ claims were not frivolous, unreasonable, without foundation, groundless, or brought in bad faith or for the purpose of harassment. All defendants initially argued the plaintiffs’ antitrust claims were frivolous, unreasonable, without foundation, and brought in bad faith based on the immunity provided by HCQIA and TMPA. But, not all of the plaintiffs’ claims relied upon actions allegedly taken in the context of a peer review or medical committee; therefore, any immunity under HCQIA and TMPA did not entirely shield the defendants from liability. See Austin v. McNamara, 979 F.2d 728, 738 (9th Cir.1992) (); Jeung, 264 F.Supp.2d at 574 (holding that ### Response: holding that allegations of refusal to provide coverage and that other physicians openly attacked plaintiffdoctors before nurses and in neurosurgical group meetings cannot be brought within hcqias immunity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: minor changes the record shows [the trial court] signed virtually every order and judgment Joseph tendered."" Id. at 10. As noted above, we presume that the trial court is unbiased. Leo must demonstrate more than that the trial court entered rulings adverse to him because adverse rulings do not constitute bias per se. As for the alleged ex parte communication, the communication occurred in relation to an incidental issue in the case, ie., a temporary restraining order preventing Leo from canceling the health insurance of his siblings, not a determination of whether Josephine is in need of a guardian, which was the ultimate issue. Leo did not demonstrate any prejudice or actual personal bias resulting from this communication. C.J. Harrison v. Anderson, 300 F.Supp.2d 690 (S.D.Ind.2004) (). Accordingly, the trial court did not abuse ### Response: holding that the defendant demonstrated actual bias where the murder victim had made allegations concerning the trial court prior to her death the trial court had a personal interest in protecting his name and the countys judiclary and the trial court made rulings calculated to remove any mention of himself or implication of his alleged wrongdoing from the defendants defense " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: their cumulative impacts. Even if the fire-lines had only a small impact, “[cjumula-tive impacts can result from individually minor but collectively significant actions taking place over a period of time.” 40 C.F.R. 1508.7 Further, the Forest Service fails to explain how such post-fire “rehabilitation” could eliminate the effects from the construction and existence of the fire-lines. As plaintiffs expert demonstrated, and the Forest Service does not dispute, “[flirelines cause significant and persistent reductions in soil productivity via elevated erosion, compaction and the removal of all organic matter, which is critical to soil productivity.” (See AR 8772 [Rhodes Declaration] ¶ 18.) Such significant effects must be disclosed within the EIS. See City of Carmel, 123 F.3d at 1160 ().

See Lewis, 523 U.S. at 843, 118 S.Ct. at 1715. 4 . This statement has led at least one court to refer to Justice Rehnquist's reasoning, specifically his reliance on the Fourth Amendment’s text, as only adopted by a plurality. See Lamont v. Woods, 948 E.2d 825, 835 (2d Cir. 1991) (explaining that ""[t]o a plurality of the Court, the use of the phrase ‘the people’ suggested that the Framers of the Constitution intended the amendment to apply only to ■those persons who were part of or substan tially connected to the national community”).

The security forces killed many of their torture victims and mutilated their bodies before returning them to the victims’ families. There are persistent reports that the families are made to pay for the costs of the execution, before the bodies are returned to them. Iraqi refugees arriving in Europe often reported instances of torture to the receiving governments and — as was the case with a group of refugees arriving in Italy in June — displayed scars and mutilations to substantiate their claims. The BIA must take this into consideration when assessing whether an applicant qualifies under the Convention. Cf. Al-Harbi v. INS, 242 F.3d 882 (9th Cir.2001) ().

C. Conclusion The essence of GKH’s contention that the Trustee acted ultra vires or outside the scope of his authority is that the Trustee acted improperly or even wrongfully in filing the Avoidance and Turnover Actions without a reasonable legal basis. However, a showing that the Trustee’s actions were wrongful or improper “does not equate to a transgression of his authority.” Cutright, 2012 WL 1945703, at *8; see also McDaniel v.

The conclusions in Agent Schultz’s report derive from his analysis of general trends and conditions in Sri Lanka, not from individualized facts about Suntharalinkam or the evi dence presented before the IJ. Moreover, the IJ must conduct an individualized credibility analysis, and it is improper to rely exclusively on a general assertion in a government report to declare an applicant not credible. See Ge, 367 F.3d at 1126 (to the extent that the IJ relied on blanket statements in the State Department report regarding detention conditions in China, the IJ’s finding was not sufficiently individualized); Shah, 220 F.3d at 1069 ().

In determining whether a genuine issue of material fact exists, we view the facts in the light most favorable to the party against whom summary judgment was entered. Id. We will not affirm the trial court’s entry of summary judgment unless the evidence could not support any reason able inference in favor of the non-movant. Id. Summary judgment is seldom appropriate in employment discrimination cases because such cases inherently require the resolution of factual disputes that turn on inferences, rather than direct evidence, of discriminatory animus. Id. However, if a defendant can establish that an essential element of a discrimination claim cannot be established as a matter of law, summary judgment is appropriate. ITT Commercial, 854 S.W.2d at 381 ().

A statement is false if untrue when made and then known to be untrue by the person making it or causing it to be made. Govt. Sug. Jury Instr. No. 27-28 (emphasis supplied). The district court denied both of Roster’s good faith defense instructions, concluding that the “knowledge” element of the mail fraud and false statement charges encompassed any good faith defense. We agree with the district court’s conclusion. An action taken in good faith is the other side of an action taken knowingly. United States v. Schwartz, 787 F.2d 257, 265 (7th Cir.1986); cf. Brimberry, 961 F.2d at 1291 ().

The evidence must be such that it would not have been obtained but for the unlawful conduct of the investigating officer. We are of the opinion that G.S. 15A-974(2) requires, at a minimum, this sort of causal connection between violations of Chapter 15A and the evidence objected to if such evidence is to be suppressed. In so holding, we do not decide that a mere “cause in fact” or “but-for” relationship is sufficient ipso facto to require exclusion of evidence obtained as a consequence of substantial violations of Chapter 15A. In certain cases, intervening circumstances might “dissipate the taint” of unlawfulness so that such evidence would be admissible at trial. See, e.g., Wong Sun v. United States, supra (). We leave all such decisions to future cases. ### Response: holding admissible certain evidence which would not have been obtained but for violations of constitutional requirements " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: discharge claim. 2. The district court did not err by granting summary judgment to Caldwell on Sorenson’s retaliatory discharge claim, because he did not raise a triable issue of fact regarding a causal link between his involvement in a protected activity and an adverse employment action. See Brooks v. City of San Mateo, 229 F.3d 917, 928 (9th Cir. 2000) (concluding a plaintiff must show the following for a prima facie case of retaliation: “(1) involvement in a protected activity, (2) an adverse employment action and (3) a causal link between the two”). Sorenson did not allege facts showing that his age-discrimination complaint was a but-for cause of any adverse employment action. See Univ. of Tex. Sw. Med. Ctr. v. Nassar, — U.S. -, 133 S.Ct. 2517, 2534, 186 L.Ed.2d 503 (2013) (); Hard-age v. CBS Broad.

Such limitation of liability stems from “the basic common-law principle that ‘an owner or general contractor [sh]ould not be held responsible for the negligent acts of others over whom [the owner or general contractor] had no direction or con trol.’ Ross, 601 N.Y.S.2d 49, 618 N.E.2d at 88 (quoting Allen v. Cloutier Constr. Coiy., 44 NY.2d 290, 405 NY.S.2d 630, 376 N.E.2d 1276, 1278 (1978)). Liability in the absence of direction or control over the worksite may attach only where the person to be charged in fact caused the defective condition giving rise to injury. See Murphy v.

To the extent that Newbridge contends that it was not put on notice of infringement, the Court likewise rejects Newbridge’s contention, as the record demonstrates otherwise. (See e.g. Tr. 1218-1219, 1487-1489, 3220-3222, 3266, PX 839). In addition to the foregoing failure to investigate and/or obtain valid opinions of counsel, the Court notes the existence of other aggravating factors against New-bridge including the prolonged nature of Newbridge’ infringement (Tr. 1487, 1816, 2967), its failure to discontinue its infringement once notified of Lucent’s law suit, and its failure to take remedial action to remedy its alleged infringement.

We assume, as does the respondent warden, that the introduction at trial of Wade’s co-defendant’s statements violated the Confrontation Clause. See Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 52, 124 S.Ct. 1354, 158 L.Ed.2d 177 (2004) (“Statements taken by police officers in the course of interrogations are ... testimonial under even a narrow standard.”). But, “[hjabeas relief on a trial error claim is appropriate only if the error results in ‘actual prejudice.’ ” Hall v. Haws, 861 F.3d 977, 991 (9th Cir. 2017) (quoting Davis v.

In the case at hand, Mary is the trustee and one of the beneficiaries of the Mary D. Fitton Revocable Trust. She is also the person who formed the trust. The property in question is her principal place of residence. She was married at all times pertinent to the mortgage and conveyances at issue. Relying on the reasoning in Richardson, and case law from this court relied upon therein, we hold that, according to the facts presented, Mary Fitton was entitled to a homestead exemption even though the title to the property was held by her trust. Furthermore, the fact that the trust holds the property as a tenant in common does not affect the outcome. See Simpson v. Biffle, 63 Ark. 289, 38 S.W. 345 (1896) ().

But Thomas’s position at Project Forward, another program in the District where Thomas was employed before the STAR Academy, is irrelevant. Moreover, by her own testimony, plaintiff knew before she even began working at the STAR Academy that plaintiff was explicitly told that he was not a supervisor at Project Forward and that he should not hold himself out to be. Plaintiff argues in the alternative that even if Thomas was not a supervisor, he “masqueraded” as one. But if plaintiff erroneously thought that Thomas had some supervisory role in relation to her, her belief was not clearly reasonable, and cannot create liability for the district. Ellerth, 524 U.S. at 759, 118 S.Ct. 2257 ().

At this juncture, the most pertinent issue is how best to expend Federal Defendants’ limited resources to accomplish the purpose of the Court’s decrees-the enforcement of the regulatory duties. This suit comes at a time of frugal federal budgets and limited resources for federal officials. Doubtless the conservation of these resources will assist them in fulfilling their regulatory duties generally and more specifically the ones at issue in this suit. Finally, if for no other reason, compensatory sanctions are inappropriate because competent proof of the amount of losses and attorney fees have not been submitted to the Court. See O’Connor v. Midwest Pipe Fabrications, Inc., 972 F.2d 1204, 1211 (10th Cir.1992) (); Gen. Signal Corp. v.

Finally, it argues that exigent circumstances existed to justify the warrantless blood draw, namely, the difficulty that the law enforcement officers would have faced obtaining a warrant late at night when tasked with investigating a large-scale fatality accident. a. Whether the Texas implied-consent statute is its own exception to the warrant requirement The State argues that the Transportation Code provides its own exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. Both the United States Supreme Court and the Court of Criminal Appeals have rejected the contention that a statute may create a per se exception to a warrant requirement.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, the evidence introduced at trial was sufficient to convict Connelly of the false statement charge. A rational jury could have concluded that (a) E.J.R.C. was truthful when she testified that Connelly threatened her with jail if she did not perform oral.sex; (b) Connelly, an experienced police officer and former tribal prosecutor, fully understood the FBI agents’ questions; and (c) Connelly was not credible because his statements to Agent Kimball and Agent Smiedala about whether he threatened E.J.R.C. with jail were inconsistent. See, e.g., Selby, 557 F.3d at 978 (). b.

See, e.g., White v. General Services Administration, 652 F.2d 913, 915-16 (9th Cir.1981). Morse argues that § 706(f)(5) should not be construed to authorize reference to a magistrate when neither side wants the reference. The court disagrees. The statute calls for the judge “to assign the case for hearing at the earliest practicable date and to cause the case to be in every way expedited.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(f)(5). If the case cannot be scheduled for trial within 120 days after issue has been joined, the judge has the discretion to appoint a master. Id. Nothing in Title VII conditions this authority on the consent of the parties. See, e.g., Brown v.

I.R.C. § 6075. If such a person fails to file an estate tax return in a timeous manner, he has the burden of showing “that such failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect.” Id. § 6651(a)(1). In the absence of such a showing, “there shall be added to the amount required to be shown as tax on such return” a late-filing penalty. Id. Imposition of this penalty is mandatory unless the failure to file on time was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect. See Comm’r v.

The trial court is afforded the discretion to determine whether a sufficient showing has been made to necessitate questioning by the court on whether juror exposure actually transpired. Pure conjecture that jurors might inadvertently violate admonitions not to read outside newspaper articles is insufficient to require court ex- animation of the jurors. See People v. Green, 323 Mich. 128, 35 N.W.2d 142 (1948). The Holmes presumption is sufficient to permit the trial court to deny a request to question the jury unless the court has reason to believe that such inquiry would be fruitful. See United States v. Pallais, 921 F.2d 684, 686 (7th Cir.1990); United States v. Thornton, 746 F.2d 39, 50 (D.C.Cir.1984) ().

Amoco Oil Co., 262 F.Supp.2d 1364, 1368 (S.D.Fla.2003). Here, the terms of the reinstated contract are inconsistent with the alleged misrepresentations upon which the Buyer supposedly relied. The contract provided that TRG made no representations regarding governmental approvals and expressly re moved any references to the “Intended Use” of 218 units for the property. As such, the Buyer could not justifiably rely on any representations from TRG concerning governmental approvals and the number of units that could be built on the property. The trial court should have granted TRG’s motion for a directed verdict. See St. Joseph’s Hosp. v. Cowart, 891 So.2d 1039, 1042 (Fla. 2d DCA 2004) ().

Ignoring the bonding that occurred here is simply ignoring the reality of this case. 72 . By way of supplemental citation, Father contends Mother’s preference that Baby Girl be placed with Appellants is, standing alone, insufficient to constitute good cause warranting deviation from section 1915(a).

Sarvis’s demand for discovery, however, misapprehends the nature of a motion to dismiss. Here, the district court properly recognized that “[t]o survive a Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss, a complaint must ‘provide enough facts to state a claim that is plausible on its face,’ ” Sarvis, 80 F.Supp.3d at 696 (quoting Robinson v. Am. Honda Motor Co., 551 F.3d 218, 222 (4th Cir. 2009)), and that to reach facial plausibility, Sarvis must “plead[] factual content that allows the court to draw the reasonable inference that the defendant is liable for the misconduct alleged.” Id.

See Hadfield v. McDonough, 407 F.3d 11, 15 (1st Cir.2005). Moreover, in their objections, Plaintiffs did not cite to any specific record citation in support of this assertion. Thus, Plaintiffs failed to again comply with Local Rule 56(e). This Court also notes that Plaintiffs failed to object to the Magistrate Judge’s conclusion that Cintron’s comments were “too mild” to form the basis for a hostile work environment claim. Therefore, this Court need not effect a de novo review of this portion of the Magistrate Judge’s reasoning. Davet v. Maccarone, 973 F.2d 22, 31 (1st Cir.1992) ().

In any event, of those claims that remain, the independent causation requirement of the standing requirement would bar the tenuous claims Judge Silberman fears from ever reaching the merits.

Defendant claims that the only evidence of affirmative conduct on this occasion was his suggestion that the unloading take place at night. This evidence, stand ing alone, Defendant argues, is insufficient to support his aiding and abetting conviction. Defendant also argues that his previous act of giving the key to his property cannot be considered as evidence here because such only aided a general scheme of possession of marijuana, not the specific offense on October 4, 1998.

Shortly after the death of the plaintiff’s mother, Mr. O'Toole began dating Ms. Fulgham. Ms. Fulgham took an active role in the plaintiff's education. In October of 1993, Mr. O’Toole and Ms. Fulgham were married. 3 . The plaintiff controverts this key fact. However, the plaintiff does not refer to anything in the record supporting her contention as required by Fed.RXiv.Pro. 56 and D.Kan. Rule 56.1 and, therefore, the fact is deemed uncontroverted.

Because 25 U.S.C. § 410 does not purport to impose exclusive federal jurisdiction, Washington courts have subject matter jurisdiction to determine whether 25 U.S.C. § 410 bars garnishment of the funds in the Harrisons’ bank accounts.

The first return included deductions not supported by the information Peeples had provided to Hayes, and Peeples was audited as a result. She testified that she subsequently instructed Hayes “to do my taxes, but only put the figures on my taxes of what I give you.” J.A. 564-65. The jury could reasonably infer that Peeples would not adhere to this policy for herself and yet provide Hayes with false information about her sister’s taxes. This inference is particularly strong in light of the substantial similarities connecting the misstatements in the Ellerbe return with those in other returns prepared by Hayes. Cf. Morgan v.

Other District Courts Have Looked Beyond the Statutory Language of the EAJA and Held Attorneys Can Be Paid the Award of Attorney’s Fees Directly Other district courts that have engaged in analysis beyond the plain meaning of the EAJA, have held that awards of attorney’s fees under the EAJA can be paid directly to attorneys.

Accordingly, to determine whether a complaint should be dismissed for failure to state a claim under Rule 12(b)(6), this Court must examine the applicable substantive law and the facts alleged in the plaintiffs complaint. Preliminary Injunction Standard To determine whether to grant a preliminary injunction, a district court must consider: (1) the plaintiffs likelihood of success on the merits; (2) whether the plaintiff may suffer irreparable harm absent the injunction; (3) whether granting the injunction will cause substantial harm to others; and, (4) the impact of an injunction upon the public interest.

Murray, supra, at 496,106 S.Ct. 2639. Under the circumstances of the instant case, Mercer has demonstrated cause and prejudice such that the court has jurisdiction to entertain his claim for federal habeas relief that the reasonable doubt instruction was unconstitutional. Specifically, cause is established by the novelty of the issue of whether the reasonable doubt instruction given at Mercer’s trial imper-missibly lessened the prosecution’s burden of proof.

Section 153.0071 serves the first goal of peaceful resolution by providing procedures for alternate dispute resolution. However, because section 153.0071 is silent on the options available to a court when an arbitrator’s award is vacated, the second goal of a speedy resolution is not served, as is clear in this case. Nevertheless, until the Legislature amends the Family Code provisions on arbitration, we are bound by section 153.0071’s silence, this court’s decision in Koch, and the provisions of the TAA. Accordingly, the trial court did not have discretion to rule on a claim or controversy that the parties agreed to submit to binding arbitration. See Koch, 27 S.W.3d at 97 ().

In so arguing, Bear River relies on language in its insurance policy with the Walls stating that the insured shall not be entitled to receive “duplicate benefits.” However, as Bear River recognizes in its brief, the duty to pay PIP benefits to the insured is governed by Utah law. Utah’s no-fault statute requires that insurance policies bought to satisfy the security requirements of Utah law contain provisions providing for minimum PIP benefits. See Utah Code Ann. § 31A-22-302(2) (1994). Therefore, an insurance policy may not limit the insured’s right to receive minimum PIP benefits as provided by Utah law, as this would violate those provisions of the Utah no-fault statute. See Farmers Ins. Exch. v. Call, 712 P.2d 231, 233-36 (Utah 1985) (); Larsen v. Allstate Ins.

C. The Superior Court Did Not Err in Holding that Mayo Adversely Possessed a Portion of the Northern End of Lot 5D, but Erroneously Determined the South Boundary Line of the Mayo Lot. Tenala does not dispute that the Ma-yos’ physical encroachments and use of the northern end of Lot 5D possess the requisite characteristics for acquiring a fee simple estate; Tenala argues instead that the better public policy would be to award an easement. Tenala’s arguments are contrary to the existing law, which holds that fee simple title is acquired if all of the required elements of adverse possession are met. See, e.g., Hubbard v. Curtiss, 684 P.2d 842, 849 (Alaska 1984) ().

State v. Robinson, 330 N.C. 1, 22, 409 S.E.2d 288, 300 (1991). The Confrontation Clause prohibits testimonial statements from an unavailable witness being presented at trial without the defendant having an opportunity to cross-examine the witness prior to trial. Crawford v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36, 50-52, 158 L. Ed. 2d 177, 187 (2004). It is clear that Ms. Charlesworth’s report was testimonial in nature. See Melendez-Diaz v.

The complaint also alleges that the Government’s breach has “forced SMUD to devote economically valuable real property to the storage of the SNF in the ISFSI.

At issue in the vast majority of summary judgment eases presented to New Mexico’s appellate courts is the first prong; that is, whether there are genuine issues of material fact. See, e.g., Silva v. Town of Springer, 121 N.M. 428, 433, 912 P.2d 304, 309, (Ct.App.) (concluding that a material disputed factual issue existed precluding the grant of summary judgment), cert. denied, 121 N.M. 375, 911 P.2d 883, and cert. denied, 121 N.M. 444, 913 P.2d 251 (1996); Blauwkamp v.

Mirda, 147 Cal.App.4th 740, 748, 54 Cal.Rptr.3d 527 (2007). Here, because Ford, as discussed above, owed plaintiffs no duty to disclose the risk that its ignition locks would fail, Ford is entitled to summary judgment on plaintiffs’ fraudulent concealment claim.

Defendant raised numerous other issues in his docketing statement. These issues, however, are deemed to be waived as defendant did not brief or argue them on appeal. See State v.

Cf. Shryock, 342 F.3d at 986 (“[T]he district court need not define common terms that are readily understandable to the jury.”). Even accepting the debatable proposition that “ad hoc” is beyond the understanding of the average juror, we conclude that the jury would have been able to understand what type of structure a RICO enterprise must have (i.e., one that provides “a mechanism for controlling and directing the affairs of the entity on an on-going continuous basis”) from the remainder of the instruction. Moreover, we have previously held that a district court is not required to define terms that would normally be beyond the general knowledge of jurors if the terms have been covered extensively during the trial. United States v. Sarno, 73 F.3d 1470, 1486 (9th Cir.1995) ().

C. Even had the State used the correct figures in calculating the number of people who could have contributed to the DNA material found at the scene, the use of the unmodified product rule in making those calculations was erroneous. The use of the unmodified product rule in calculating population frequencies from DNA loci is unsupported by the scientific and legal authorities. While the product rule is clearly generally accepted as an accurate theoretical proposition, the issue is whether the product rule can be applied to individual DNA frequencies.

The district court also f he armed robberies occurred on different dates with different victims. Moreover, only one of those armed robberies involved an accomplice. Rather, as shown above, the gist of defendant’s argument for why these four cases are related under § 4A1.2(a)(2) is that they were consolidated for purposes of sentencing. However, the district court did not clearly err in finding that they were not so consolidated based upon the separate indictments under which the cases were charged, the trial court’s entry of separate judgments in those cases, and the lack of a consolidation order.

Id.” 758 So.2d at 555. Joe Jr. argues that the holding in Jin-right is limited to the situation in which a petitioner in bankruptcy omits a potential claim in his schedule of assets and then later sues on that claim. We do not read Jinright so narrowly, however, and we can find no indication that our supreme court, in outlining the elements that must be proved to establish judicial estoppel, confined its statements to the bankruptcy context. We hold that the doctrine of judicial estoppel is inapplicable here for at least two reasons. First, Robert and Joe Jr., the parties asserting the estoppel, were not parties to the Florida divorce action. Cf. Singley v. Bentley, 782 So.2d 799 (Ala.Civ.App.2000) (). Second, the parties claiming the estoppel did ### Response: holding that a farmer was not estopped to recover against a harvester for underpayment on 27000 bushels of sweet potatoes by the farmers claim in filing for federal cropdisaster benefits that his crop had produced only 15000 bushels the harvester was not a party to the farmers application for benefits " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: emphasizes, furthermore, “[T]he Lebron Court explained that while Amtrak is part of the Government for purposes of the constitutional obligations of Government — -such as the obligation to respect an artist’s First Amendment rights' — Amtrak is not part of the Government for purposes of the inherent powers and privileges of the Government.” Pl.’s Opp. & Reply at 8 (emphases in original).

Seibert alleged that she requested, but was denied, accommodation in the form of a reclining chair. Because this allegation was not asserted in Seibert’s EEOC charge, she has failed to preserve her claim and it must therefore be dismissed. See 29 U.S.C.A. § 626(d). Seibert raised new claims in her response to Lutron’s Motion for Summary Judgment that she was ""singled out and forced to use her vacation time simply because she was having post natal problems with her twins.” Even if these claims were timely raised, they lack merit.

R. Juv. P. 8.250(b). The “in controversy” and “good cause” requirements are also included in Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.360(a), which provides for mental examinations in civil actions. In a case involving a mental examination of a father in a dissolution modification action, this court explained the “in controversy” requirement under rule 1.360(a). See Williams v. Williams, 550 So.2d 166 (Fla. 2d DCA 1989). For a parent’s mental health to be “in controversy,” “the condition must directly involve a material element of the cause of action.” Id. at 167.

B. Failure to Provide a Written Statement of Reasons Mitchell’s second claim, that the DHO failed to provide a written statement of the reasons for her finding of guilt, is contradicted by the record. The DHO filled out a form titled “Disciplinary Hearing Report.” (R. at 33.) In a section labeled “Evidence relied on for finding of Guilt,” the DHO explained that she relied on the librarian’s description of the incident and the fact that Mitchell produced no evidence to the contrary. (Id.) We have no difficulty in concluding that this written statement meets the due process requirements announced in Wolff. See, e.g., Mitchell, 80 F.3d at 1445 ()-, Taylor v.

Therefore, we disagree with Orsag that no testimony was elicited concerning State’s Exhibit 4. 3 . We note that Woodling did not specifically testify she was aware of prior “convictions"" as the State asserts, but she testified she was with Orsag in 1995 when he was stopped for DWI in Harris County (Exhibit 5), and she ""knew about” Orsag’s ""DWI in Brazos County” (Exhibit 4). This, in conjunction with her confirmation that the prior judgments reflect Orsag's signature, is some evidence to support the prior convictions. See Thomas v.

Simmons argues that the trial court erred in admitting Neer’s testimony into evidence because, he says, the evidence was based on scientific analysis and did not meet the Frye standard. Initially, we find it imperative to note that the evidence offered through Neer’s testimony was not “profile” testimony. “Profile” evidence attempts to link the general characteristics of serial murderers to specific characteristics of the defendant. Such evidence is of little probative value and extremely prejudicial to the defendant since he is, in a sense, being accused by a witness who was not present at any of the crimes. See Pennell v.

Since the Wellfield’s environment shows no overt signs of stress, and mere presence of C8 is not enough to show imminent and substantial endangerment, Defendant claims it is entitled to summary judgment on any RCRA environmental endangerment claims. Plaintiff responds that the uncontrovert-ed presence of C8 in the Wellfield’s groundwater, as well as complete absence of any remediation effort, is sufficient to show imminent and substantial endangerment to the environment.

This case is distinguishable from cases where the alien filed a motion to reopen during the seven-month window, but explicitly requested a stay of the voluntary departure period pending adjudication of the motion indicating that the alien had no intention to relinquish the voluntary departure agreement.

But Dr. Martinez has provided no basis for concluding that Spada’s untimely grievance would have been accepted and resolved on the merits. Notably, there was no requirement that Spada utilize the grievance process after the 15-day period expired, which is the foundation of Dr. Martinez’s position. See, e.g., Small v.

The court acknowledged that pursuant to the All Writs Act (AWA), 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a) (1994), it had the power to issue a writ of mandamus compelling the Board to issue a final decision. The court determined that such a writ would be justified “in aid of’ the court’s jurisdiction under the AWA because, absent a final decision by the Board, the court lacked jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 7252(a) (1994).

As an initial matter, we doubt that the EEOC is subject to the same strict timing requirements with respect to exhaustion of remedies in Title VII as a private party before bringing a class suit. ""Title VII claimants generally establish federal court jurisdiction by first exhausting their EEOC administrative remedies.” Sosa v. Hiraoka, 920 F.2d 1451, 1456 (9th Cir.1990).

Ass’n, 460 U.S. at 45, 103 S.Ct. 948, or other expressive activity. Because vanity plates are physically restricted by size and shape and by the state’s interests, including that of vehicle identification, vanity plates are a highly limited and extremely constrained means of expression. The very character of license plates also suggests that they are not a designated public forum. In light of all of the circumstances described above, we hold that Vermont has not intended to designate, and has not designated, its vanity plates as a public forum. Cf.

It is not possible to say with confidence that the jury chose the former option because the government met its burden. The jury may have decided that given the overwhelming evidence against Hernandez, it did not want to acquit him of that charge, and so chose the only other option available to it—conviction of intent to distribute methamphetamine.

This heightened expectation of privacy rendered it objectively reasonable to expect that conversations in the privacy of one’s home would not be surreptitiously invaded by warrantless transmission or recording. “[W]arrantless electronic participant monitoring conducted in a home,” we held, “offends the core values of Article 11. tution to hold that “the expectation that one’s conversations will not be secretly recorded or broadcast should be recognized as reasonable”); see also Commonwealth v.

Here, McCulley and TBW Development obtained specific performance of their settlement agreement with Palavan by having Palavan’s claims against them dismissed. McCulley and TBW Development were prevailing parties and were entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees. For the same reason, Palavan’s argument that the dismissal of his claims mooted McCulley’s and TBW Development’s breach of contract claims must fail. Dismissal of Palavan’s claims established that McCulley and TBW Development prevailed, not that their claims were mooted.

The purpose of the statute was to cut off liability for past actions. See Arkla, 1993 WL 61827, at *2; Werlein, 746 F.Supp. at 910. If the statute were construed to allow liability any time there is continuing migration of contaminants from one property to another after July 1, 1983, the statute would provide little protection for those whose actions occurred entirely before that date. Thus, in this context, the only reasonable interpretation of the “placed or came to be located in or on the facility” is that it refers to when Carney placed the hazardous substances or allowed the hazardous substances to be placed on the Walker site.

To the extent the district court repeated the prosecutor’s statement in sustaining the defendants’ objection, it was to illustrate that the district court’s instructions would render the prosecutor’s remark irrelevant. And, as noted above, before the jury deliberated, the district court gave the jury detailed instructions on the meaning of reasonable doubt. Even assuming some residual prejudicial effect remained, the prosecutor’s statement did not affect Ortiz’s and Rolon’s substantial rights because — in light of the substantial independent evidence of their guilt — no reasonable probability exists that this statement altered the outcome of the trial. See United States v. Adams, 74 F.3d 1093, 1097 (11th Cir.1996) ().

For the reasons that follow, we find that the circuit court was correct in summarily denying all but one of Bearden’s claims. I. Bearden contends that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction to render the judgment or to impose the sentence. He makes two arguments in this regard. First, Bearden contends that the circuit court lacked jurisdiction because, he says, the affidavit submitted in support of the warrant for his arrest was not properly verified. Although couched in jurisdictional terms, this claim does not present a jurisdictional issue. See, e.g., Sumlin v. State, 710 So.2d 941 (Ala.Crim.App.1998) ().

He signed the statement at 8:20 p.m. The following morning, Norris was brought before a magistrate for a probable-cause determination. At trial, Norris’s attorney moved to suppress Norris’s confession on two grounds not at issue in this appeal. The Tennessee trial court held a hearing, denied the motion, and admitted the confession. A jury convicted Norris of second-degree murder in June 1999, and he was sentenced to twenty-one years of imprisonment. After the trial, Norris’s new attorney who would also be his appellate counsel moved for a new trial. At a hearing on the motion, he argued that Norris’s confession should have been suppressed because: (1) it was the fruit of an illegal arrest under Brown v. Illinois, 422 U.S. 590, 95 S.Ct. 2254, 45 L.Ed.2d 416 (1975) (); and (2) Norris was held for investigative ### Response: holding that a confession obtained by exploitation of an illegal arrest is not admissible " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: is a law partnership representing financial institutions in the area of creditors rights.

The Ohio Supreme Court held that the original criminal proceedings in Krahn were insufficient to invoke collateral estoppel in the later malpractice case because the claimed error by Krahn’s criminal lawyer in plea negotiations was not “ ‘actually and necessarily litigated and determined’ in the denial of her motion to vacate the criminal judgment against her.” Krahn, 43 Ohio St.3d at 108, 538 N.E.2d 1058, quoting Goodson v.

B. Watson’s Eligibility to Sue Under ERISA § 404(a) 1.

Because Mackey’s appeal was untimely not for lack of notice, but because his counsel had failed to continue representing him in court — a scenario for which no rule parallel to Rule 77 exists — we concluded that the Federal Rules were not so comprehensive as to leave no room for Rule 60(b)(6).

The fact that the Ship’s Regulations provided that the captain was solely responsible for the safety of the ship and those on board does not make Finlay liable for the ship’s unseaworthiness, because a shipowner’s duty to provide a seaworthy ship is nondelegable. See Sieracki, 828 U.S. at 94 n. 11, 66 S.Ct. at 877 n. 11. Holding Finlay to be an owner pro hac vice because the Ship’s Regulations made him solely responsible for the safety of the ship would defeat the rule of nondelegability, for it would absolve the owners of liability for unseaworthiness. See Ramos, 423 F.2d at 917-18 ().

Indeed, in a scheme where VA’s initial inquiry to ARPERCEN carries such potentially outcome-determinative consequences, the duty to notify the claimant as to what evidence she may submit would be of even greater importance. Similarly, in the context of such an interpretation, or more so, if § 3.203(a) is not applicable here, VA’s failure to inform the appellant that she should “provide any additional personal data pertaining to her husband, such as any aliases he may have used during military service”, would also be a notice error . Cf. Sarmiento v. Brown, 7 Vet.App. 80, 85 (1994) (), overruled on other grounds by D’Amico v. ### Response: holding that when claimant supplies new identifying information va must submit additional request to arpercen for verification of service " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “have his cake and eat it too.” Id. at 282.

Nolan-Cooper, 155 F.3d 221, 241 (3d Cir.1998). However, “we have allowed for an exception when the circumstances dictate that there is only one appropriate remedy for the defendant.” Williams, 510 F.3d at 427; see, e.g., United States v.

See Scarfo, 54 F.3d at 944; Linn v. Andover Newton Theological School, Inc., 874 F.2d 1, 5 (1st Cir.1989); Elwood, 815 F.2d at 175-76; New York, N.H. & H.R. Co. v. Zermani, 200 F.2d 240, 245 (1st Cir.1952). Consequently, appellate review is lim ited to determining whether a miscarriage of justice would occur were the asserted error not corrected. -See Scarfo, 54 F.3d at 940. WorldCom can demonstrate no miscarriage of justice. First, the “fair market value” standard defined by the district court, see supra 28-29, provided the jury with a just and reasonable measure of damages under Massachusetts law in these circumstances. See Mechanics Nat’l. Bank of Worcester v. Killeen, 377 Mass. 100, 384 N.E.2d 1231, 1239 (1979) (); Hall v.

Thus, although the amendments to RE-21 did not specifically state that making the earnest money non-refundable was an advance election of remedies, when Phillips availed himself of the earnest money, he foreclosed his ability to pursue actual damages. See, e.g., McMullin v. Shimmin, 10 Utah 2d 142, 349 P.2d 720, 720-21 (1960) ().

The offense of loitering and prowling contains two elements: first the accused must be loitering and prowling in a manner not usual for law-abiding citizens; and second, the loitering and prowling must be under circumstances that threaten the public safety. State v. Ecker, 311 So.2d 104 (Fla.), cert. denied, Bell v. Florida, 423 U.S. 1019, 96 S.Ct. 455, 46 L.Ed.2d 391 (1975). With regard to the second element, “the p an open convenience store constitutes loitering and prowling in a manner unusual for law-abiding citizens, there was no evidence introduced at trial indicating that appellant’s actions were creating an imminent threat to the safety of persons or property in the area.

This is not an either-or proposition. The fact that some states, like Ohio, delegate the administration of public assistance programs to counties or municipalities should not mean that those states are free of all statutory obligations. See New York, 255 F.Supp.2d at 79 (“It would be plainly unreasonable to permit a mandatorily designated State agency to shed its NVRA responsibilities because it has chosen to delegate the rendering of its services to local municipal agencies.”); see also Henrietta D. v.

Because the commissioner did not consider whether Terry acted reasonably by leaving when faced with a reduction in pay and whether exhausting her alternatives by testing would have been futile, we remand for a new hearing. Terry requests attorney fees. RCW 50.32.160 provides that if this court overturns or modifies the commissioner’s ruling, the claimant is entitled to reasonable attorney fees. Accordingly, Terry is entitled to attorney fees upon timely filing an affidavit of attorney fees with this court. Agid and Ellington, JJ., concur. 1 Tapper v. Employment Sec.

That is because the state’s method of charging, combined with a late election, allows the state to present evidence of a defendant’s multiple bad acts and then to select, mid-trial, which of those will be considered as a charge for the jury to decide. That approach to charging undermines efforts by Oregon courts to prevent “other acts” evidence from being introduced in contravention of the principle in OEC 404(3) that such evidence “is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show that the person acted in conformity therewith.” See, e.g., State v. Leistiko, 352 Or 172, 184-85, 282 P3d 857, modified on recons, 352 Or 622, 292 P3d 522 (2012) ().

So, under Vermont law, to sustain a verdict premised on a “failure to warn” theory, plaintiff must provide evidence from which a reasonable jury could find: (1) that defendant owed a duty to warn plaintiff; (2) lack of warning made the product unreasonably dangerous, hence defective; and (3) defendant’s failure to warn was the proximate cause of plaintiffs injury.

Stewart involved an action for damages for personal injuries caused when the driver-employee of a tractor-trailer rear-ended the Stewarts’ vehicle. 241 F.Supp.2d at 1218. Stewart, relying on Marrier, sued the driver and the commercial carrier that employed the driver, asserting a private cause of action under section 14704(a)(2). Id. at 1219. The Stewart court respectfully disagreed with the reasoning in Marrier. Finding the language in section 14704(a)(2) “ambiguous and inconsistent with other language in the statute,” the federal district court looked “to the legislative history for guidance in interpreting the statute.” Id. The Stewart court relied, in part, on Owner-Operator Indep. Drivers Ass’n, Inc. v. New Prime, Inc., 192 F.3d 778, 785 (8th Cir.1999) (). Stewart, 241 F.Supp.2d at 1221.

[¶ 19] A party to a current proceeding may assert collateral estoppel defensively to bar the opposing party from relitigating factual issues resolved against it in a prior proceeding and which were decided by a prior final judgment, even though the party asserting collateral es-toppel was not a party to the prior proceeding.

For example, counsel grilled Epps about his failure to immediately report Span’s threat to the staff at the Metropolitan Correction Center where Epps was detained at the time. But Epps’s testimony about “Lil Ride” showed that he had good reason to take Span seriously. Epps knew that Span had tried to coerce “Lil Ride” into recanting, and he had reason to believe, based on Span’s plot to kill “Lil Ride”, that Span would resort to violence. This knowledge explains why Epps would have recanted his statements, and why he might have hesitated to report Span’s threat to authorities. The testimony about “Lil Ride” thus tended to rehabilitate Epps and lend plausibility to his story. See United States v. Holly, 167 F.3d 393, 394-95 (7th Cir.1999) ().

Mr. Inetianbor does not ask us specifically to affirm on the grounds that the agreement to arbitrate was unconscionable, but he has repeatedly maintained on appeal that the agreement was a sham. I agree and conclude Congress did not intend for the federal courts to compel arbitration in such circumstances and that we should exercise our discretion to affirm the District Court on this alternate ground.

Thus, although the PCE contamination (as Sen try now argues) was not actually known or discovered by Greenbriar until 1996 (after the expiration of the Sentry policies), it may have “manifested itself” — that is, it may have been discoverable through reasonable testing — during the effective terms of each of the Sentry policies. Even if, as Sentry urges, “manifest” could be taken also to mean “discovered,” there would be, at most, an ambiguity in the meaning of “manifest” in this case, because “discoverable,” as shown supra, is at the very least an equally plausible definition of the term. The existence of such an ambiguity requires application of well-settled rules of construction as aids in the interpretive enterprise. See, e.g., Partnership Umbrella, 530 S.E.2d at 160 (); State Farm Fire & Cas. Co. v. Walton, 244 Va. ### Response: holding that rules of contract construction are to be applied where the language used is ambiguous " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the first part of MCL 600.5851(7) establishes a specific time in which a person under the age of eight must file a claim, with Miller, supra at 202, which defines a statute of limitations as a statute requiring a person to bring a claim within a specified time. In other words, statutes like MCL 600.5851(1) and MCL 600.5852 contain language that “saves” a claim that may otherwise be barred, while the language within MCL 600.5851(7) “gives” two distinct periods in which this particular class of claimants may file suit. Thus, the plain language of MCL 600.5851(7) provides an alternative limitations period (the tenth-birthday rule) that, depending on the facts of a particular case, may provide a plaintiff with more time than the “general” two-year period to sue. Miller, supra at 202 (). Key to this conclusion is both that the ### Response: holding that the discovery rule within mcl 6005838a2 is an alternative to the other periods of limitation and it is itself a period of limitation " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: need for reliability in the determination that death is the appropriate punishment. See id. at 584, 108 S.Ct. at 1986. The Court remarked that to allow the jury to consider evidence that was materially inaccurate was error. See id. at 590,108 S.Ct. at 1989. The present case does not parallel the situation addressed in Johnson nor the vast majority of cases that have relied upon Johnson to determine whether evidence of a criminal conviction or conduct may be properly admitted at sentencing. Instead of a materially inaccurate criminal conviction, we confront purportedly materially inaccurate testimony. Notwithstanding the difference, Hernandez must still establish that Grigson’s and Erdmann’s testimonies were false and material. See Fuller v. Johnson, 114 F.3d 491, 497 (5th Cir.1997) ().

Likewise, the agreement cannot be said to extinguish Bacon’s liability, as it required commencement of a lawsuit against Bacon, nor did Plaintiff receive full payment, as he would receive any award beyond $50,000, whether from Bacon or Sandoz. Thus, Plaintiff remained the real party in interest, and CR 17 did not compel admission of the test uding the seven federal circuits, that have addressed FIFRA preemption since the United States Supreme Court’s explanation of express preemption analysis in Cipollone v.

This opinion is based on the certifications and documents submitted in connection with the summary judgment motions as well as the testimony and documents presented at a plenary hearing on September 7, 2007, and my evaluation of the credibility of the witnesses. 3 Under I.R.C. § 1031(a), the “taxpayer” must effect the exchange, that is, the same taxpayer must be transferor and transferee in the exchange transaction.

Thus, under Texas law, Whitting-ton’s intent is likely presumed as a matter of law. 13 . Some courts, noting that it could be difficult to ""prove a negative” — that is, to prove reliance on facts that were not disclosed— have focused their inquiry on whether the concealed information was material, that is, whether it would have affected decision-making had it been disclosed, a standard plainly met here.

Consequently, the court has no information on the precise content of these histories, and must base its decision solely on the records from Connecticut. See footnote 4, supra. 9 . Camara’s birth date and driver's license expiration date are not protected. In the definition of ""personal information,” section 2725(3) lists an individual's ""photograph, social security number, driver identification number, name, address (but not the 5-digit zip code), telephone number, and medical or disability information....” 18 U.S.C. § 2725(3). Applying the interpretive doctrine of expressio unius est exclusio alterius, the statute cannot be read to apply to an individual's birth date nor his driver's license expiration date. See Frank G. v. Bd. of Educ., 459 F.3d 356, 370 (2d Cir.2006) (). 10 .

Inasmuch as we are vacating each of the defendants’ convictions on Counts 2 through 13, and Inge’s convictions on two counts, we need not address the claims of error that pertain to sentencing. We will, however, address certain evidentiary rulings that are challenged in this appeal as the same issues may again arise if the Defendants are retried on the tax evasion charges. 2 . The Donatos were charged in Counts 14 through 17 and McKee in Counts 18 through 21. 3 . Courts of Appeals are split on whether a constructive amendment to an indictment are per se reversible error under plain error review. Compare United States v.

(Mem.Op.4, Apr. 4, 2007) The only genuine issue is which party first broached the subject. For purposes of Plaintiffs prima facie case, it is sufficient that Defendant was aware of the protected activity, regardless of which party first brought up the issue. Defendant argues, however, that in Title VII retaliation cases, “generally the passage of time ... tends to negate the infer- enee of discrimination.” Price, 380 F.3d at 213; see also Dowe, 145 F.3d at 657 (). Although Defendant’s argument is true, ### Response: holding that although evidence that the alleged adverse action occurred shortly after the employer became aware of the protected activity is sufficient to make a prima facie causation case the opposite is equally true a lengthy time lapse between the employer becoming aware of the protected activity and the alleged adverse employment action negates any inference that a causal connection exists between the two " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Cir. 1993) (Breyer, C.J.). Other courts of appeals have enumerated comparable requirements. See, e.g., United States v. Sloan, 505 F.3d 685, 697 (7th Cir.2007); United States v.

For example, several courts have indicated that something more than the stain of conviction is needed to show continuing collateral consequences. See, e.g., Fleming v. United States, 146 F.3d 88, 90-91 & n. 3 (2d Cir.1998) (per curiam); United States v. Dyer, 136 F.3d 417, 429-30 & n. 33 (5th Cir.1998); Hager, 993 F.2d at 5; United States v.

On September 19, 2014, after additional state-court proceedings, Mr. Chase filed a second § 2254 application in federal district court again asserting ineffective assistance of counsel with respect to his plea. He supported his argument with alleged new law—Lafler v. Cooper, — U.S. -, 132 S.Ct. 1376, 182 L.Ed.2d 398 (2012). The district court dismissed the application for lack of jurisdiction and denied a COA, determining that the application was second or successive. The court declined to transfer the application to this court because Lafler did not announce a new rule of constitutional law and therefore it would not apply retroactively to Mr. Chase’s conviction. See In re Graham, 714 F.3d 1181, 1182-83 (10th Cir.2013) (per curiam) (). Mr. Chase now seeks a COA from us.

In re Jin Di Lu, No. A97 162 780 (B.I.A. Jan. 16, 2008). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history of the case. Where, as here, an alien files a timely petition for review from the denial of a motion to reconsider, but not from the underlying decision for which reconsideration is sought, we may review only the denial of the motion to reconsider. See Ke Zhen Zhao v. U.S. Dep’t of Justice, 265 F.3d 88, 89-90 (2d Cir.2001). To the extent that Lu challenges the BIA’s denial of his motion to reconsider, we find that the BIA reasonably denied his motion where he failed to specify errors of fact or law in its prior decision as required by 8 C.F.R. § 1003.2(b)(1).

Finally, no undue burden exists because the discovery requests being compelled through this Order are sufficiently tailored.

In Smith, we applied Sheppard under facts similar to those in the instant case, where the trial court struck a represented defendant’s pro se motion as a nullity. There, we conducted a de novo review to determine whether the trial court’s decision to strike the appellant’s motion would be affirmable even if reached for the wrong reason.

Swift, 809 F.2d 320 (6th Cir.1987), and United States v. Sarihifard, 155 F.3d 301 (4th Cir.1998). In Sivift, this court held that a false statement’s failure to lead the tribunal astray is irrelevant for 18 U.S.C. § 1623 analysis. 809 F.2d at 324.

After the judgment, defendants were granted a preliminary injunction against Ritchie and all companies in which he maintains an ownership interest “from selling, disposing of, secreting, transferring or encumbering any assets until the post-judgment collection proceedings are completed[.]” Among those entities enjoined by the lower court was Pinewood, and, by extension, the assets Pinewood holds as trustee. Pinewood was not a named defendant in the injunction. According to the complaint, neither Ritchie nor Pinewood maintain an ownership interest in those trust assets. The preliminary injunction was later vacated by this Court. Harris v. Pinewood Dev. Corp., 176 N.C. App. 704, 707-08, 627 S.E.2d 639, 642 (2006) ().

While not determinative on the question of discrimination, the finding of probable cause demonstrates that upon distillation of all the evidence presented, reasonable minds could disagree over the material fact of retaliation and intentional discrimination.

We can glean at least four legal principles from court decisions involving the two distinct scenarios discussed above: First, the statute of limitations is waivable by a defendant, either expressly or through his own actions. Tucker, 459 So.2d at 306; Sturdivan v. State, 419 So.2d 300, 302 (Fla. 1982) (observing “a defendant may by his actions waive this defense.”) Second, because it is waivable, the statute of limitations necessarily cannot be considered “jurisdictional,” at least not in the sense of depriving the trial court of subject-matter jurisdiction. See Rodriguez v. State, 441 So.2d 1129 (Fla. 3d DCA 1983) (); Farrar v. State, 42 So.3d 265, 265 (Fla. 5th ### Response: holding that the statute of limitations defense does not deprive court of subject matter jurisdiction to the extent the statute of limitations may be considered in any sense a jurisdictional impediment it is one which can be waived " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: had no reasonable strategy for such omission, Elliott has failed to demonstrate the requisite prejudice by establishing what evidence a further investigation would have revealed that would have changed the outcome of the trial. Similar to our holding in Issue I, absent a proffer of information that trial counsel could have uncovered and used to impeach the bad act witnesses’ testimony, Elliott’s claim that he was prejudiced by a deficiency in his investigation or preparation fails. See Harvey, 812 A.2d at 1197 (rejecting claim that counsel was ineffective for not undertaking further investigation where appellant failed to show that doing so would have provided material evidence or would have been helpful to his defense); Commonwealth v. Hawkins, 567 Pa. 310, 787 A.2d 292, 304 (2001) ().

In Milwaukee Constructors II, 177 Wis. 2d at 532, we adopted the process for evaluating the details, significance and sanctions concerning allegations of destruction of evidence set forth in Struthers Patent Corp. v. Nestle Co., 558 F. Supp. 747, 756 (D.N.J. 1981). Struthers instructs that in reviewing the conduct of the offending party, the trial court should consider not only whether the party responsible for the destruction of evidence knew, or should have known, at the time it destroyed the evidence that litigation was a distinct possibility, but also whether the offending party destroyed documents which it knew, or should have known, would constitute evidence relevant to the pending or potential litigation. See id. at 756, 765 (). ¶ 16.

Crowe, 963 F.2d 895 (6th Cir.1992). That cannot be said to be the case here, especially in view of the fact that the “prior restraint” cases cited in the plaintiffs’ appellate briefs simply are not applicable to the facts of this case. Hence, even if the issue had been squarely presented, we could not find in the plaintiffs’ favor based on the authority submitted on appeal. There remains the equal protection question, which is raised here under the Fifth Amendment’s Due Process Clause. The district court held that the claim was non-cognizable because the Equal Protection Clause protects against inappropriate classifications of people, rather than things. This position has been adopted by several courts. See, e.g., Benjamin v. Bailey, 234 Conn. 455, 662 A.2d 1226 (1995)(); California Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v.

Law 100 prohibits discrimination by an “employer” based on the protected characteristic of, among other factors, age. P.R. Laws Ann. Tit. 29 § 146. The term “employer” is defined as “any natural or artificial person employing laborers, workers or employees, and the chief, official, manager, officer, managing partner, administrator, superintendent, foreman, overseer, agent or representative of such natural or artificial person.” P.R. Laws Ann. Tit. 29 § 151(2). As discussed above there is no evidence in the record to support Plaintiffs’ contention that Buck had any control over PRMMPs employment practices nor that it had any employment nexus with the Plaintiffs. Therefore, Buck is not liable under law 100. See Santini-Rivera v. Serv Air, Inc., 94 JTS 121, p. 182 (). C. Buck’s status under ERISA.

But Pham fails to contend, much less show, that he possessed the drugs confiscated on February 28 as early as February 12. See, e.g., Def.

[t]he employer is required to do so by law[.]” ORS § 652.610(3)(a) (emphasis added). Because neither the Internal Revenue Code nor its implementing regulations “require” an employer to withhold tax on estimated tips, an employer, like Starbucks, who does so pursuant to the permissive authority granted by federal law is in violation of the Oregon statute. This is precisely the type of conflict that is addressed by federal preemption. When a state law specifically prohibits an activity that is authorized by federal law, the state law must give way. See, e.g., Barnett Bank of Marion County, N.A. v. Nelson, 517 U.S. 25, 32-34, 116 S.Ct. 1103, 1108-09, 134 L.Ed.2d 237 (1996) (); Watters v.

Because “ ‘reasonableness’ is inherently a concept of flexible meaning,” United States v.

Fleming, 397 F.3d at 100. This is not such a rare case. Bethea’s sentence represented the bottom of the applicable Guidelines sentencing range determined by reference to an offense level of 34 and a criminal history category of VI.

To the extent that Henley’s complaint asserts the violation of rights secured by the Constitution and committed by persons acting under color of state law, we conclude the district court erred in dismissing her section 1983 action for failure to comply with Title VIPs procedural requirements.

For example, assume that Aviall and Cooper entered into a contract that provided only that Aviall would assume liability for Cooper’s pre-closing debt to Jones Company. If Jones Company made demand on Cooper, who in turn made demand on Aviall, who then refused to pay the debt, Cooper could presumably bring a breach of contract claim against Aviall for failing to honor its contractual obligation to assume liability for the Jones Company debt. But this right would be based on a contract that reflected that this was the parties’ objective intent. In the present case, however, the Agreement has other relevant provisions, and the contract must be interpreted as a whole. See, e.g., Bank One, Tex., N.A. v.

The trial court offered the State its choice between the two dates, and the State chose March 19, 2001 as the trial date. However, Hill failed to object to the later trial setting.

Plaintiff therefore cannot claim title to the foreshore adjacent to his property from this source. Furthermore, while the Dongan Grant to Christopher Billopp did indeed encompass lands to the low water mark, this land was later confiscated by the State after Captain Billopp’s attainder for treason during the Revolutionary War. The 1779 Act of Attainder has been found to be valid by the Second Circuit numerous times, as recently as 1992. See Robins Island Pres. Fund, Inc. v. Southold Dev.

As Judge Spatt has already recognized in this case, the holding in the district court’s decision in Pechinski required more than the mere fact that the fee at issue was associated with the termination of the debt obligation to the lender defendant; rather, the district court also specifically relied upon the fact that the fee at issue in that case was related to a service requested by the borrower — processing fees regarding a refinancing with another lender — and would not have otherwise been required by the borrower in the lifespan of the loan. See McAnaney, 357 F.Supp.2d at 586 (“Pechinski held that the fees were not finance charges because they were not required by the creditor”); see also Pechinski, 238 F.Supp.2d at 643 ().

Where there are facts that could lead reasonable minds to conclude differently regarding whether the intervening cause broke the causal link, the question should be submitted to the jury, and summary judgment is not appropriate. Cascone, supra, at paragraph two of the syllabus. In a case based upon an intentional tort such as fraud or tortious interference, however, where the intervening act complained of is the act of the plaintiff, an analysis of intervening cause is tantamount to a comparative negligence claim, which is no defense to an intentional tort. See Hardiman v. Zep Mfg. Co. (1984), 14 Ohio App.3d 222, 14 OBR 250, 470 N.E.2d 941, paragraph two of the syllabus ().

No. AMD 04-3422, 2006 WL 173690, at *4 (D.Md. Jan. 25, 2006). In that case, the Court found racial harassment that included the use of phrases such as “black dummy” and “black bitch” did not create a hostile work environment. While the Rose court held that those insults were not racial in nature, this Court has identified a number of other cases within the Fourth Circuit wherein the use of the word “black” as a modifier for otherwise racially-neutral insults was, in fact, considered race-based harassment. See, e.g., Finch v. Smithfield Packing Co., No. 5:99CV10-BR, 2000 WL 33682696, at *4 (E.D.N.C. Feb. 10, 2000) (); Jenkins v. City of Charlotte, No. Civ.

Thus, the evidence shows that the home's value has been greatly diminished by its close proximity to Parker's business. A proper measure of damages shall be calculated as the difference between the market value of the Bonewitz home if the Parker By-Products myeceli-um-drying operation ceased and its current market value with an active nuisance next door.

WCSPA appeals from the denial of its motion to intervene in a case that the district court has since decided, through the Order on Remedy and the subsequent final judgment, from which neither party has appealed. Because the underlying litigation is over, we cannot grant WCSPA any “effective relief’ by allowing it to intervene now. The appeal is therefore moot. See United States v. Ford, 650 F.2d 1141, 1143 (9th Cir.1981) (dismissing as moot an appeal of a denial of a motion to intervene where the underlying litigation was voluntarily dismissed) (“Since there is no longer any action in which appellants can intervene, judicial consideration of the [intervention] question would be fruitless.”); cf.

Mr. Duffy adversely affected his clients by failing to attend hearings on their behalf and failing to -respond - to his client relating to an appeal. Likewise, Mr. Duffy’s conduct toward the ODC and his criminal conduct are harmful to the public and to the legal profession. See In re Baer, 21 So.3d 941, 943 (La. 2009) ().

Thus, I would conclude that the jury had an adequate opportunity to assess the officers’ credibility absent the consideration of evidence of the use-of-force policies.

In each of these cases it would be anomalous for the attorney to be able to bring suit to challenge the statute or regulation, instead of a person protected by the constitutional provision or law asserted as the basis for the challenge — the injured worker, the medical malpractice plaintiff, or the Social Security claimant. Of course it may be harder for such a person to bring suit than for a lawyer to bring suit, since lawyers are often better off than their potential clients, and they are after all lawyers. But it still can’t be that lawyers would generally have standing in such situations. See Alexander v. Whitman, 114 F.3d 1392, 1408-09 (3d Cir.1997) () Cf. Lambert v.

The Supreme Court has, however, noted that the question is a matter of degree and indicated that the party challenging the law has the burden of “establishing that the measure of punishment itself has changed.” Morales, 514 U.S. at 510, n. 6, 115 S.Ct. 1597; Garner, 529 U.S. at 255, 120 S.Ct. 1362; see also Dobbert v.

Therefore, given the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence on this issue in Morales and Garner, it is now clear that retro active changes in the laws governing parole may violate the ex post facto clause.

However, “[i]f the reasons are made known to the court, the court may rule without more.” Id. at 934 (internal quotation marks omitted). In this case, the motion to withdraw and appoint substitute counsel and motion to reconsider, together with a seventeen-page handwritten letter prepared by Bliss, set forth in detail Bliss’ and his counsel’s concerns. Having thus been apprised of Bliss’ concerns, the district court did not abuse its discretion when it ruled on the motions without hearings. See United States v.

Second, Ex Parte Young does not apply to suits seeking damages; it only applies to suits seeking injunctive and declaratory relief. Edelman v. Jordan, 415 U.S. 651, 663, 94 S.Ct. 1347, 39 L.Ed.2d 662 (1974). The Court has said that suits for damages are suits against the state even if only the official is named as a defendant, because a damage remedy would require payment out of the state’s treasury. Id. Third, Ex Parte Young does not apply if the relief sought is “fully as intrusive” on a state’s sovereignty as a levy on funds in the state treasury.

If, as appellant argues, a lessor could avoid liability simply by disclaiming liability in the lease without including such a disclaimer in the recorded short form, the purpose behind section 713.10(1) would be frustrated. Furthermore, section 713.10(2), which mandates that a notice regarding multiple leases on a parcel of land include the specific language contained in the various leases prohibiting a lessor’s liability, supports our interpretation of section 713.10(1). In other words, if a lessor desires to protect its interest from mechanics’ liens arising out of improvements made by a lessee, the document that is recorded in the clerk’ , 658 (Fla. 2d DCA 1983) (); Budget Elec.

On appeal, he argues that the district court improperly dismissed his motion and characterized it as a successive motion to vacate filed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255. Whether a district court has jurisdiction is a question of law subject to de novo or plenary review. See, e.g., United States v. Diaz-Clark, 292 F.3d 1310, 1315 (11th Cir. 2002) ().

Balaklaw, 14 F.3d at 797 n. 9 (citing Associated Gen. Contractors of Cal., Inc., 459 U.S. at 537-45, 103 S.Ct. 897). In the context of health care antitrust litigation, courts have observed that physicians may not be the most efficient enforcer of the antitrust laws. See, e.g., Daniel, 428 F.3d at 443-44 (concluding that physician-plaintiffs seeking to join cartel were not efficient enforcers of antitrust laws); Korshin v. Benedictine Hosp., 34 F.Supp.2d 133, 140-41 (N.D.N.Y.1999). Nevertheless, where a physician’s interest coincides with the patient’s interest, a physician may be a proper enforcer of the antitrust laws. See Angelico v. Lehigh Valley Hosp., Inc., 184 F.3d 268, 274-75 (3d Cir.1999) (); Nilavar v. Mercy Health Sys.-W. Ohio, 142 ### Response: holding that plaintiffphysician was efficient enforcer of antitrust laws " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: logic to conclude that the act of showing Spartin the other witnesses’ grand jury statements in October 1986 caused Spartin to state that the plaintiff knew of the conspiracy during his grand jury testimony in September 1987, but not during his polygraph examination in December 1986. Therefore, the plaintiffs argument that the Inspectors’ violation of the secrecy rules “tainted” Spartin’s grand jury testimony by causing him to state a “phony opinion” necessarily fails. Whatever the reason for the apparent change in Spartin’s opinion between December 1986 and September 1987, the plaintiff offers no evidence — only conclusory allegations— that the opinion Spartin offered at the grand jury hearing was swayed by the Inspectors’ violation of the secrecy rules.

The law does not say specifically how long would be reasonable. That’s for you to decide. When a contract fixes no time for its duration, and none can be implied by the nature of the contract and surrounding circumstances, the contract may be terminated at the will of either party. (Appellant’s App. at 495.) Specifically, Pot-latch argues that the district court erred by instructing the jury that it could infer a reasonable duration to the oral contract. Potlatch cites several cases holding that a contract of indefinite duration may be terminated at will. See, e.g., Union Nat’l Bank v. Federal Nat’l Mortgage Ass’n, 860 F.2d 847, 853 (8th Cir.1988) (); Gary Braswell & Assoc. v.

Whatever may have been the rule in Costello, it cannot be applied in a Title VII action involving untimely fifing with the EEOC. It is because the “statutory requirement is analogous to a statute of limitations,” Van Zant v. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, 80 F.3d 708, 712 (2d Cir.1996), that dismissal for failure to comply with the requirement is a judgment on the merits. See PRC Harris, Inc. v.

Thus, in assessing whether the second action is duplicative of the first, we examine whether the causes of action and relief sought, as well as the parties or privies to the action, are the same. See The Haytian Republic, 154 U.S. at 124, 14 S.Ct. 992 (“There must be the same parties, or, at least, such as represent the same interests; there must be the same rights asserted and the same relief prayed for; the relief must be founded upon the same facts, and the ... essential basis, of the relief sought must be the same.” (internal quotation marks omitted)); Curtis, 226 F.3d at 140 (); Serlin, 3 F.3d at 223 (“[A] suit is ### Response: holding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in dismissing curtis ii claims arising out of the same events as those alleged in curtis i which claims would have been heard if plaintiffs had timely raised them " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: crimes and crimes involving only accidental, negligent, or reckless conduct.

The fact that the Cheungs wish to use the documents they seek in their civil tax proceeding does not make Exemptions 3 and 7(A) inapplicable. Indeed, it is precisely because of the uses to which the Cheungs might put the documents that the exemptions are applicable. The district court properly denied Shannahan’s discovery requests for information concerning the nature and origins of documents he requested. See Lane, 523 F.3d at 1134 ().

See Nelson, 292 F.3d at 1301 (concluding, under § 2254, that nothing in the defendant’s history undermined the reasonableness of the state court’s determination that his waiver was valid where the defendant was fifty years old and had obtained a GED). Second, he had extensive contact with counsel prior to his decision to proceed pro se, including three court-appointed lawyers in this very case. In fact, one had represented him through a jury trial. See Stanley, 739 F.3d at 647-48 (); cf.

We make one final observation. Section 1997e(a) may prove to be irrelevant if further development of the record shows that prison officials rendered the established grievance procedures unavailable to Mr. Pavey by lending him no assistance in creating what would qualify as a written grievance while at the same time isolating him from other inmates who might have assisted him.

The wife appeals, arguing that the trial court erred in the award of custody to the husband, in the awards of alimony and the division of property, and in the award of attorney fees. I. Custody and Visitation The wife argues that the trial court’s award of custody to the husband is a punishment for her alleged marital indiscretions, and she argues that, as such, the award of custody is an abuse of discretion.

The problem is that Williams was not seen or heard from until fourteen months after the crime when he was arrested in Georgia.

We too think the Iowa legislature sought to encourage the imposition of such cumulative sentences. B. Merger pursuant to Iowa Code section 701.9. Iowa Code section 701.9 — Iowa’s merger statute — provides: No person shall be convicted of a public offense which is necessarily included in another public offense of which the person is convicted; If the jury returns a verdict of guilty of more than one offense and such verdict conflicts with this section, thé court shall enter judgment of guilty of the greater offense only.

However, all of these cases come from an era when disqualification orders were widely presumed to be immediately appealable. See generally Silver Chrysler Plymouth, Inc. v. Chrysler Motors Corp., 496 F.2d 800, 804-05 (2d Cir.1974) (en banc) (collecting cases). Since then, the Supreme Court has refused to allow interlocutory appeals in every disqualification case that has come before it. See Richardson-Merrell Inc. v.

This is particularly true given that Nguyen apparently was already represented by counsel concerning the indicted charges and could have requested the presence of his counsel at the December 15 interview. This does not, however, end the Sixth Amendment analysis. Although there is no evidence that the government conspired to deprive Nguyen of counsel, the government must still bear the burden of showing, as under the Fifth Amendment analysis, (i) that he was apprised of his right to have counsel appointed and to consult with counsel and (ii) that he knowingly waived that right. See Patterson v. Illinois, 487 U.S. 285, 298-99, 108 S.Ct. 2389, 101 L.Ed.2d 261 (1988) ().

A claimant can demonstrate pretext “by showing that the proffered reason (1) has no basis in fact, (2) did not actually motivate the defendant’s challenged conduct, or (3) was insufficient to warrant the challenged conduct.” Dews v. A.B. Dick Co., 231 F.3d 1016, 1021 (6th Cir.2000). “Regardless of which option is used, the plaintiff retains the ultimate burden of producing ‘sufficient evidence from which the jury could reasonably reject [the defendants’] explanation and infer that the defendants intentionally discriminated against him.’ ” Johnson v.

That is, an individual stopped for DWI in a noncommercial vehicle who refuses to submit a breath specimen does not automatically lose his commercial driving privileges for one year. However, section 522.089 mandates the automatic disqualification of a person to drive a commercial motor vehicle at least for the period of time that person’s license is suspended under any law. Tex.

We address these contentions in turn. A. Trial Court Jurisdiction It is clear that the trial court here had jurisdiction o ending the outcome of arbitration. Brooks v. Pep Boys Auto. Superctrs., 104 S.W.3d 656, 660 (Tex.App.Houston [1st Dist.] 2003, no pet.) ().

See Tenn. R.Evid. 404(b). The State contended that it was offering evidence of prior sexual misconduct not to prove the character of the defendant but, rather, primarily to corroborate the testimony of the victim concerning the incidents alleged in the indictment as well as to show the state of intimacy between the defendant and the victim, to explain the circumstances surrounding the charged offenses and to show the conduct of the defendant toward the victim. Accordingly, the State argued that the evidence of the defendant’s prior sexual misconduct was admissible under those limited circumstances. In support of its argument, the State cited several cases including State v. Lockhart, 731 S.W.2d 548 (Tenn.Crim.App.1986) (), overruled by State v. Rickman, 876 S.W.2d 824 ### Response: holding that evidence of incest with the same victim prior to or after the offense charged is admissible to corroborate proof of the incident relied upon for conviction " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: related sentence. (Id.) In accordance with United States Supreme Court precedent, the Ninth Circuit recognizes that when a defendant has been convicted and sentenced on mulitiplicitous charges, “[t]he conviction as well as the sentence on one of the two mulitiplicitous counts must be vacated, to ‘avoid both the punitive collateral effects of multiple convictions as well as the direct effects of multiple sentences.’ ” United States v. Alerta, 96 F.3d 1230, 1239 (9th Cir.1996), overruled on other grounds by United States v. Nordby, 225 F.3d 1053 (9th Cir. 2000) (quoting United States v. Anderson, 850 F.2d 563, 569 (9th Cir.1988) and quoting United States v. Palafox, 764 F.2d 558, 564 (9th Cir.1985)); see also Rutledge v.

The Court agrees. ""Therefore the Court finds that the law is with the plaintiff and accordingly grants relief by declaring that a valid, pre-filed lien which has not been avoided during the bankruptcy proceedings is not extinguished by the discharge of the debtors and remains enforceable in rem after the discharge even if there is no approved reaffirmation agreement.

Rodriguez, 489 So.2d 726 (Fla.1986) (disbarring attorney for the conversion of client funds and admitted commingling of clients’ moneys despite mitigating evidence relating to alcoholism and rehabilitation). Additionally, this case also involves other conduct that is extremely troubling, including the forgery of a judge’s signature on two orders, the forgery of a client’s signature on a guilty plea, and the forgery of a client’s signature on a check so Gross could deposit the funds of the check and use them for his own personal means. These acts alone can also constitute independent grounds for disbarment. See, e.g., Florida Bar v. Kickliter, 559 So.2d 1123, 1124 (Fla.1990) ().

Although Mr. Smith’s clinical condition had a mortality of about twenty percent prior to the arrest, the above-discussed failures of Dr. Bolton, Dr. Russell, Dr. Suominen, PA Dizney, McElravy, Hammonds, and Gill probably led to the arrest and the sequelae that probably ensued and in reasonable probability led to his progressive weakness, increasing renal dysfunction, and multi-system organ failure and his death. These statements, all contained within the four corners of Dr. Halkos’s report, sufficiently link Dr. Halkos’s causation opinions to the facts and adequately describe the chain of events allegedly leading to Mr. Smith’s death. See Patel v. Williams, 237 S.W.3d 901, 905-06 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2007, no pet.) ().

While WCI raises a colorable claim, we nonetheless decline review of this issue, as WCI’s claim is raised for the first time on appeal and is not preserved for appellate review. See Plott v. General Motors Corp., 71 F.3d 1190, 1195 (6th Cir.1995) (stating that this Court generally will not review a post-judgment claim asserting a need for discovery where the non-movant failed to advance such claim before the district court); see also Vance ex rel. v. United States, 90 F.3d 1145, 1149 (6th Cir.1996) (). WCI’s failure to file a Rule 56(f) affidavit ### Response: recognizing that while summary judgment is improper if the nonmovant is not afforded a sufficient opportunity for discovery it is the nonmovants responsibility to inform the district court of the need for discovery by filing an affidavit pursuant to rule 56f of the federal rules of civil procedure or filing a motion requesting additional discovery " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: CWs credibility and his use of a gun. In light of the unrebutted fact of CWs death improperly admitted during the prosecutor’s rebuttal argument, the latter issue was of particular importance, as discussed supra. In sum, given the lost opportunity to confront CW in relation to the unavailable discovery, the admission of the preliminary hearing testimony at trial violated Nofoa’s right to confrontation as guaranteed by article I, section 14 of the Hawaii Constitution and the sixth amendment of the United States Constitution. Thus, we hold that the circuit court erred in allowing admission of CWs preliminary healing testimony at trial We additionally hold that the error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. See State v. Mundon, 121 Hawai'i 339, 368, 219 P.3d 1126, 1155 (2009) (). We are unable to say the error was harmless ### Response: holding constitutional error may be harmless if court can declare a belief that it was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt quoting state v napeahi 57 haw 365 373 556 p2d 569 574 1976 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: fractures and a large gash on his cheek.

See Oddi v. Ford Motor Co., 234 F.3d 136, 154 (3d Cir.2000). As we have discussed above, WARN Act liability does not turn on whether a party is a ""parent” or a ""lender,” or whether a ""lender” behaved in typical fashion. Indeed, we have already acknowledged that GECC may well have been a parent of CompTech. Thus, because we have declined to create separate standards of liability for lenders and parents, regardless of whether the District Court was correct in concluding that Myers’s affidavit was lacking in a factual basis, his opinion was ultimately not germane and no hearing was necessary. Cf. Padillas v. Stork-Gamco, Inc., 186 F.3d 412, 418 (3d Cir.1999) (). We therefore affirm the District Court's ### Response: holding that in limine hearings are encouraged when courts are concerned with the factual rather than legal dimensions of the evidence " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: bands and subjecting them to excessive monitoring and racially-derogatory remarks); Johnson v.

City of Richmond, 789 F.Supp. 725 (E.D.Va.1992) (police “bullied” their way into and selectively searched handicapped and African-American plaintiffs’ apartments). While this Court has, as Plaintiffs note, recognized that “violence or physical coercion is not a prerequisite to a claim under § 3617,” Fowler v. Borough of Westville, 97 F.Supp.2d 602 (D.N.J.2000), the conduct complained of must nevertheless be of sufficient magnitude to permit a finding of intimidation, coercion, threats or interference. See, e.g., Babin, 18 F.3d at 347, 348 (). That said, the actions allegedly taken by ### Response: holding that actions of defendants in engaging in economic competition did not rise to the level of interference with the rights of plaintiffs and that actions of neighbors while interfering with plaintiffs negotiations were not direct enough to state a claim for violation of 3617 " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: mitigating circumstances in this case. We believe the testimony demonstrated Johnston to be a generally honest lawyer. See Iowa Supreme Ct. Bd. of Prof'l Ethics & Conduct v. Isaacson, 565 N.W.2d 315, 317 (Iowa 1997) (“We consider a lawyer’s general character for honesty ... in applying sanctions.”). In addition, he acknowledged he violated our disciplinary rules in certain respects. See Iowa Supreme Ct. Bd. of Prof'l Ethics & Conduct v. Tofflemire, 689 N.W.2d 83, 93 (Iowa 2004) (“A mitigating factor is the attorney’s recognition of some wrongdoing.”). Furthermore, the prior discipline imposed on Johnston carries little weight as an aggravating factor under the circumstances of this case. See Iowa Supreme Ct. Bd. of Prof'l Ethics & Conduct v. Hohenadel, 634 N.W.2d 652, 656 (Iowa 2002) (). Johnston’s previous discipline was imposed ### Response: recognizing a previous reprimand was an aggravating circumstance warranting more severe discipline " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Commerce’s determination in the Final Results. (Pis.’ Br. on Jurisdiction 2-5.) In deciding between the appropriate bases for jurisdiction, the “ ‘mere recitation of a basis for jurisdiction, by either a party or a court, cannot be controllingt;]’ ” instead, the court “ ‘look[s] to the true nature of the action ... in determining jurisdiction.’ ” Norsk Hydro Can., Inc. v.

In this case, Plaintiffs challe t the time that the rule goes into effect because the relevant harm has already been inflicted: an interested party has lost the opportunity to alter the agency’s decision through full participation in the regulatory process. See, e.g., Wind River, 946 F.2d at 715 (); Thrift Depositors of Am., Inc. v. Office of ### Response: holding that grounds for a cause of action for facial or procedural challenges to a regulation will usually be apparent to any interested citi zen within a sixyear period following promulgation of the decision and because the governments interest in finality outweighs a latecomers desire to protest the agencys action as a matter of policy or procedure " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: believed that he was acting “in the usual course of his business or employment.” See United States v. Lewis, 53 F.3d 29, 32 (4th Cir.1995). To qualify under the employee or agent exception to registration under § 822, the person must be employed in the “legitimate distribution chain” of the controlled substance. See United States v. Pruitt, 487 F.2d 1241, 1244 (8th Cir.1973). Any possession or distribution outside of the legitimate distribution chain is unlawful. United States v. Vamos, 797 F.2d 1146, 1151-52 (2d Cir.1986). Thus, if the possession is not in the “usual course of the registrant’s lawful professional practice,” then it is not in the legitimate chain of possession and therefore not within the § 822(c) exception. See United States v. Hill, 589 F.2d 1344, 1350 (8th Cir.1979) ().

Id. We have noted that actual litigation is not required for relief under our declaratory-judgment statute. Jessup v. Carmichael, 224 Ark. 230, 272 S.W.2d 438 (1954). However, the statue does require that litigation be pending or threatened. Id. We have also noted that while Ark. Code Ann. § 16-111-104 recognizes a party’s right to a declaratory judgment, a justiciable controversy is required. Mastin v. Mastin, 316 Ark. 327, 871 S.W.2d 585 (1994) ().

Addressing another issue on appeal, we note that Hile’s in-court description of his conversation with Longval on the videotape was admissible over a hearsay objection. Longval’s statements to Hile were not hearsay under section 90.801(l)(c), Florida Statutes (2004), because they described and gave significance to ambiguous acts, her conduct on the videotape.

Thus, if the substantive law required clear and convincing evidence to support an element of the claim or defense, the court might grant summary judgment if, in considering a motion for directed verdict on the same evidentiary basis, it would have concluded that the evidence presented was so “one-sided” it failed to satisfy the plaintiff’s burden. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 251-56, 106 S.Ct. at 2511-14. Given this rule, in cases in which the burden is greater than a preponderance of the evidence, analytical constructs that turn on such concepts as “scintilla of the evidence” and “slightest doubt” are no longer useful.

See IRS Rev. Rul. 2008-7, at 12 (“Ordinarily, a period of zero annual rate of accrual followed by a period of positive annual rates of accrual would result in a plan failing to satisfy the 133 1/3% rule.

Once an asylum applicant has established eligibility for asylum, the decision whether to grant asylum rests with the discretion of the Attorney General, see 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1), and is generally not reviewable unless “manifestly contrary to law and an abuse of discretion,” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(D); see also Melendez v.

Moreover, Schering has informed the Court that Bayer Corporation and other companies now market competing vaccines which will also affect the PRRS market. Therefore, it appears that the PRRS vaccine market is more competitive now such that the ability to compensate Boehringer for its losses will be more difficult to determine. These limitations on the commercial success of Boehringer’s patent and the effective duration of its patent, even if not caused by Schering’s conduct, is an indication that Boehringer’s Patent has a shortened duration and thus, Boehringer’s need to enforce its right to exclusivity is more acute at this time.

In all other respects, the trial court’s judgment is affirmed. SMITH, J., concurs and dissents with opinion. 3 . We note that the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution has been held to be co-extensive with article 1, section 3 of the Texas Constitution. See Twiford v.

Id. at ¶ 36A. Consequently, Plaintiffs have not stated a claim for violation of their right to equal protection of the law because they have not shown that individuals similarly situated to Plaintiffs were treated differently.

See § 23-40-104(l)(b), 7 C.R.S. (1997). 8 . We note that Tenth Circuit authority, while mirroring the three-factor analysis we adopted in Simon, recognizes this factor as most important. See Sonnenfeld v. City & County of Denver, 100 F.3d 744, 749 (10th Cir.1996); Haldeman v. State of Wyo. Farm Loan Bd., 32 F.3d 469, 473 (10th Cir.1994). 9 . Section 24-30-1517(2) excepts from coverage the University of Colorado at Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. 10 . Our conclusion squares with the body of Tenth Circuit decisions which, applying a similar analysis, have consistently found state universities to be arms of the state. See, e.g., Watson v.

Reg. 14952. Moreover, for reasons discussed more specifically below, the Board’s interpretation applying TILA and Regulation Z to pawnbrokers is in accordance with the prevailing law. Therefore, the Revised Commentary applies to the case at hand unless it is demonstrably irrational. The Board’s application of TILA to pawnbrokers is not demonstrably irrational. Although few courts have addressed the issue, those which have uniformly hold that pawnbrokers are subject to TILA See Burnett v. Ala Moana Pawn Shop, 3 F.3d 1261 (9th Cir.1993) (); Hyde v.

Plaintiff has amended her complaint only once before, and even if she is seeking to amend her complaint again solely to return to Superi- or Court, as defendants allege, this is not necessarily evidence of forbidden bad faith. If defendant’s claims are correct, here, plaintiff has simply “deleted causes of action that ERISA completely preempts].” Giles v. NYLCare Health Plans, Inc., 172 F.3d 332, 340 (5th Cir.1999) ().

Brown claimed that he shot Rasanen while struggling to regain control of his own gun after Rasanen had lunged at the officer and Brown felt his gun pointed against him. Such a scenario plainly demonstrated “probable cause to believe that the suspect pose[d] a threat of serious physical harm.” Tennessee v.

In Frazier, a crime-scene investigator challenged the district court’s conclusion that his job’s essential functions included being able to run, carry a firearm, and physically restrain offenders. Frazier, 254 F.3d at 1250-51. We agreed with the district court that these were essential functions, regardless of how infrequently a crime-scene investigator may have to do them. We explained that even “assuming that an investigator may be required to perform these physical activities infrequently, the potential for physical confrontation with a suspect exists any time [the plaintiff] conducts a crime scene investigation.” Id. at 1260; see Martin v.

See Chambers, 473 F.3d at 727 (in dicta) (noting that future research establishing whether failures to report or return to jail actually present a serious risk of physical injury might call into question the characterization of such crimes as violent felonies); Golden, 466 F.3d at 616-19 (Williams, J., dissenting) (reasoning that failure to report to jail does not create a serious risk of physical injury, and opining that characterizing it as such raises due process concerns); United States v.

Quintero contends that the district court erred by dismissing his section 2241 petition, alleging that the Government breached the plea agreement by failing to file a motion for reduction of sentence pursuant to Fed.R.Crim.P. 35(b). This contention is without merit. The district court correctly determined that Quintero’s claims were more properly brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2255, and that his inability to bring a second or successive motion under section 2255 does not render federal habeas relief ineffective or inadequate.

The trial court construed this statute as requiring “only that a motor vehicle be equipped with at least one (1) tail lamp mounted on the rear that when lighted emits a red light plainly visible from a distance of five hundred (500) feet to the rear.” App. p. 29. This construction of the statute apparently relies only upon subsection (a); however, subsection (c) applies to vehicles manufactured after January 1, 1956, such as Cunningham’s vehicle undisputedly was, and requires two operating tail lamps.

As appellant. argues, however, “[t]he demarcation between the favored and non-favored classifications of taxpayers in Eastern, i.e., between agricultural and fishing interests on the one hand, and airlines on the other, was not itself an unconstitutional distinction,” whereas in this casé the line separating taxable and nontaxable publications has been drawn based on unconstitutional criteria, i.e., the contents of those publications. Because appellant’s constitutional claim thus involves a content-based approach to taxation of publications, it does appear, contrary to appellee’s assertion, that appellant has standing. See Arkansas Writers’ Project, Inc. v. Ragland, 481 U.S. 221, 227, 107 S.Ct. 1722, 1726-27, 95 L.Ed.2d 209 (1987) (). See also Texas Monthly, Inc. v.

Thus, if the Letter Agreement here is a contract with a missing term, then it must meet the statute of frauds.

In Mathews, the United States Supreme Court determined that the private interest affected by state action was the claimant’s continued receipt ofbenefits, which was a source of income, pending a final decision on his claim for Social Security disability benefits. See 424 U.S. at 339-40. Similarly, a private interest affected by state action is a claimant’s continued receipt of welfare benefits. See Goldberg v.

Finally, the fact that her responsibilities were taken over by a newly-hired 25-year-old is enough to warrant the inference — at the prima facie stage — that Tomassi was the victim of age discrimination. See id.

The Supreme Court has made “very few rulings regarding the admission of evidence as a violation of due process”; specifically, it has never “made a clear ruling that admission of irrelevant or overtly prejudicial evidence constitutes a due process violation sufficient to warrant the issuance of the writ.” Holley, 568 F.3d at 1101; see McGuire, 502 U.S. at 70, 112 S.Ct. 475 ().

Iron Workers Reinforced Rodmen, 843 F.2d 1395, 1423 (D.C.Cir.1988). Here we have a proposed stipulation by the defendants that the plaintiff at all times relevant to her retaliation claim engaged in protected activity. This means that at the forthcoming trial the jury should be informed generally about the plaintiffs prior allegations of sexual harassment, but not about the specific events underlying the same. Rule 403 of the Federal Rules of Evidence mandates such a procedure. See Morris v. Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, 702 F.2d 1037, 1043 (D.C.Cir.1983) ().

Williams, 574 Pa. 487, 505, 832 A.2d 962, 973 (2003). There is not the “clearest proof’ of the seven factors that are required to demonstrate that 24 P.S. § 1 — 111(e)(1) is so punitive in either its purpose or its effect so as to negate the General Assembly’s intent that it be civil in violation of the Ex Post Facto Clause.

The cease and desist order (or, in this case, the injunction) was the point at which the agency first asserted regulatory jurisdiction over the landowner. Up to that point, no permit was required either in Tabb Lakes or here. To the extent Boise argues that the ESA did hot give the district court the power to enjoin logging without a permit, its argument is not well taken. First, as discussed above, a takings claim before'the Court of Federal Claims cannot ask that court to review the propriety of a district court’s handling of a case. Second, as the Ninth Circuit has repeatedly held, the district court did have the authority to enjoin Boise from logging. Marbled Murrelet v.

We noted that a requirement that District Courts accompany such orders with some articulation of their reasoning would not impose a serious burden, would assist parties in crafting appellate briefs responsive to dis-positive issues, and would clearly frame appellate review. Thus, we exercised our supervisory power “to require the district courts in this circuit to accompany grants of summary judgment hereafter with an explanation sufficient to permit the parties and this court' to understand the legal premise for the court’s order.” Vadino, 903 F.2d at 259. Other situations in which we have established similar supervisory rules include, e.g., Sowell v. Butcher & Singer, Inc., 926 F.2d 289, 295 (3d Cir.1991) () (citation and internal quotation marks ### Response: holding that a court entering a directed verdict pursuant to rule 50 should set forth an explanation sufficient to permit this court to understand the legal premise for the courts order " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of money, funds, or other assets from the financial institution.

Any conduct charged in the indictment which may have placed the bank at a financial risk occurred prior to June 19, 1987. Once Anderson had control of the money, the scheme ended. Otherwise, under the government’s theory, the scheme could continue as long as Anderson maintained control of the money, thus defeating the purpose of criminal statutes of limitations. So long as she did not take part in any additional conduct that would have placed the bank at a separate, distinguishable risk, the statute of limitations continues to run. Cf. United States v.

Accordingly, plaintiffs do not satisfy the requirements of prudential standing, and their Equal Protection claim is dismissed. Even if the court were to conclude that plaintiffs had standing to pursue their Equal Protection claim, it would nonetheless fail on the merits. As defendants correctly point out, any burden on the right to interstate travel here is minimal and insufficient to constitute a deprivation. They cite several cases in support of their contention that “something more than negligible or minimal impacts on the right to travel is required ...” in order to invalidate a state action allegedly discriminating against the fundamental right to travel.

Absent such clear intention, the presumption is that the legislation should not be applied to pending cases.” 5 The dissent resorts to legislative history without a determination that there is an ambiguity. The fact that two statutes appear to conflict does not amount to an ambiguity that would allow the court to rely on legislative history. See J.R. Simplot Co. v. Dept. of Rev., 321 Or 253, 262, 897 P2d 316 (1995) ().

In this case, there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether Mr. Zakaras’ claims were filed within 300 days of the discriminatory act. The “accrual date” of a plaintiffs claim is the date on which the statute of limitations begins to run. Cada v. Baxter Healthcare Corp., 920 F.2d 446, 450 (7th Cir.1990). In cases of alleged discriminatory demotion (or termination), the period begins to run on the date the employee is notified that he will be demoted. See Delaware State College v. Ricks, 449 U.S. 250, 259, 101 S.Ct. 498, 66 L.Ed.2d 431 (1980) (“limitations periods commenced to run when the [adverse employment action] was made and [the employee] was notified.”); see also Murrell v.

Further, “[n]o provision of the False Claims Act explicitly authorizes dismissal as a sanction for disclosures in violation of the seal requirement.” Id. Thus, the False Claims Act, on its face, neither mandates nor expressly supports dismissal with prejudice. But we recognize that every other circuit to consider this issue has read such authority into the False Claims Act. See, e.g., U.S. ex rel. Summers v.

Standard of Proof The Union argues that the Johnsons’ suit stems from a labor dispute and that therefore its liability should be governed by the “clear proof"" requirement of the Norris-La-Guardia Act, 29 U.S.C. § 106, infra. Johnson sued his labor union for the harassment he suffered after testifying against other Union members at an arbitra tion hearing. Whether the events underlying the suit can be characterized as a labor dispute for the purposes of § 106 of the Norris-LaGuardia Act is a close question. See Columbia River Packers Ass’n v.

T9 Bissegger argues, however, that she has standing to challenge the search of her personal belongings left in a closed container in the car. Although Utah appellate courts have not addressed this precise issue, other jurisdictions have overwhelmingly held that a separate search of a car passenger's personal belongings left in the car gives the passenger standing to challenge the search. See, e.g., United States v. Salazar, 805 F.2d 1394, 1396 (9th Cir.1986) (); People v.

In sum, the City argues that, because there is no possibility of liability against it if suit were ever filed in state district court, the state district court, likewise, has no jurisdiction over the Rule 202 petition. Even if we were to agree that the state district court would have no jurisdiction over the City for the claims that U.S. Filter seeks to investigate, the district court would have jurisdiction over Altivia. For example, if the depositions reveal facts constituting a civil conspiracy between the City and Altivia, U.S. Filter could pursue a claim against Altivia, even if the City were immune.

Indeed, in concluding that a plaintiff suing for allegedly defective Gen-3 buckles stated a cognizable claim, a Florida court noted: This case turns on a relatively simple question, at least as to damages — Is a car with defective seatbelt buckles worth less than a car with operational seatbelt buckles? Common sense indicates that it is, but, at this stage of the case, we need not decide that issue. Rather, we only determine that Collins is entitled to go forward with her case. Collins v.

Dominguez Benitez, 542 U.S. 74, 83, 124 S.Ct. 2333, 159 L.Ed.2d 157 (2004). If there is “evidence tending to show that a misunderstanding was inconsequential to a defendant’s decision,” there is no effect on the defendant’s substantial rights. Id. at 84, 124 S.Ct. 2333. To affect a defendant’s substantial rights, there must be “nothing in the record [that] indicates that the defendant independently knew or was advised of the correct” mandatory minimum sentence.

Rather, Beckley sought to supplement that report with relevant evidence relating to the topic of most concern to the trial court-information that was otherwise absent. 5 . While there is some contention in the brief that the motion for a continuance was not filed as quickly as it could have been because of informal discussions occurring between the State and Beckley's trial counsel relating to further psychological testing, that evidence is not contained in the record and we do not consider it here. 6 . Even if the dissent were correct in noting that the trial court “was well informed as to the detail and extent of Beckley’s perverse conduct,” infra ¶ 36, that is not the question. The question is whether Beckley was denied the statutory right to pre (S.D.1988) ().

Thus, equity requires the allowance of the informal proof of claim because debtor’s sole argument is that Plaintiffs failed to follow a procedural step. Defendant Schoch argues that Nikolout-sos “is distinguishable from the case at bar because the creditor in that case filed a Complaint to Determine Dischargeability and specifically told the Court that the Complaint was being filed as an informal proof of claim.” [Docket No. 51, ¶ 44, Response to Plaintiffs’ Position Statement] While that may be accurate, an informal proof of claim can come in many forms. See, e.g., In re Anderson-Walker Indus., Inc., 798 F.2d 1285, 1288 (9th Cir.1986) (); In re Pizza of Hawaii, Inc., 761 F.2d 1374, ### Response: holding that letters notifying the trustee of a debt constitute an informal proof of claim " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: case: Equitable estoppel ... comes into play only after the statute of limitations has run and addresses itself to the circumstances in which a party will be estopped from asserting the statute of limitations as a defense to an admittedly untimely action because his conduct has induced another into forebearing suit within the applicable limitations period. considering equitable estoppel as an avoidance of the statute of limitations involved plaintiffs that recognized the basis for the suit during the limitations period. The law in the district courts of appeal, on which we relied in both Morsani and S.A.P., has been identical. Every case that has applied the doctrine to avoid a statute of limitations defense involved plaintiffs who knew of their cause of action (Fla. 2d DCA 1982) (); Salcedo v.

Here, however, the search of KP.’s bag was conducted in the privacy of the principal’s conference room. Only school officials, no students, were present. More importantly, the search was presumably limited in good faith to actions necessary to uncover a metal object like a pistol. Such a search would not include an intentional hunt for other contraband, although if discovered, such items need not be ignored. For example, such a search would not entail reading written materials, scrutinizing photographs, activating cellphones, or inspecting small pockets, crevices, wallets, containers, or purses too small to harbor a gun.

Because Rodriguez’s conviction included the unlawful entry requirement absent in California’s statutory definition of burglary, his conviction meets the definition of “burglary of a dwelling” under Taylor and is, therefore, a “crime of violence” under the Sentencing Guidelines. See U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2, cmt. n. l(B)(iii); see also Velasco-Medina, 305 F.3d at 852-52 ().

Finally, Mr. White’s affidavit claims Continental has spent “well over $100,000 in promotion and advertising” of its esp® product line over the past seven years, and has benefitted from the promotional efforts of its nationwide distributor, Fisher Scientific. (Id. ¶¶ 9, 15.) This evidence lacks probative value for a variety of reasons. Continental’s alleged $100,000 promotional expenditure, over a seven year period, amounts to a paltry $15,000 per year, often the cost of a single advertisement in a national publication. Continental offers no evidence as to how it put these funds to use, nor does it provide a coherent explanation as to how these expenditures contribute to secondary meaning. See Aromatique, Inc. v. Gold Seal, Inc., 28 F.3d 863, 872 (8th Cir.1994) ().

Despite the evidentiary problems inherent in proving the state of the debtor's finances at various times before an action is initiated, some courts have found that this view is better aligned with the parties' intent and the general rules of contract law. See Annotation, 14 A.L.R. 4th at 1385; see also Rees v. Heyser, 404 N.E.2d 1183 (Ind.Ct.App.1980) (where individual sought repayment of oral loan which did not contain a definite time of repayment, the court held that the statute of limitations did not begin to run on the promise until a reasonable time for performance had elapsed); Phillips & Jordan Invest.

Sunshine Associates filed various defensive pleadings including an answer with affirmative defenses. Sunshine Associates also responded to discovery requests. Id. It was only after B & H Sales moved for summary judgment that Sunshine Associates revealed that the correct name of the defendant was The Fusco Corporation, which had been doing business as Sunshine Associates. Id. at 106-07. On those facts, we concluded that applying the statute of limitations to bar the amended complaint would be “manifestly unjust” because the mistake in naming the defendant was merely a misnomer. Id. at 107. Thus, we held that the amended complaint related back to the original pleading. Id.; see also Schwartz v. Metro Limo, Inc., 683 So.2d 201, 203-04 (Fla. 3d DCA 1996) (); Galuppi v.

But we reject this argument because it obviates the phrase “benefits accrued.” Under Louisiana law, we should not assume that two different terms in a statute are synonymous. See Colwell v.

Mrs. Gahn, on the other hand, argues that she “incurred” the expense for the treatment of her liver cancer when she was diagnosed with the disease, and she relies on prior interpretations of coverage provisions in insurance policies to support that position.

At the evidentiary hearing on his motion, Movant made no assertions that his trial counsel failed to adequately explain the charges against him or failed to object to the factual basis underlying his plea. In fact, in his testimony at the evi-dentiary hearing, Movant asserted his trial counsel wrongly advised him to plead guilty because she had failed to investigate three potential witnesses and she failed to explore certain issues relating to one of the victim’s in his case. Accordingly, the issue raised in Movant’s point relied on was not presented to the motion court in his Rule 24.035 motion and cannot be raised for the first time on appeal. Day v.

Shunaula introduced no evidence before the IJ, and makes no argument on appeal, regarding the general nature of the expedited removal system. He argues only that due process was violated in his particular expedited removal proceeding, a complaint that does not fall within § 1252(e)(3). Even if Shunaula’s complaint could be viewed as systemic, however, such a challenge can be brought only in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia. See supra n. 4 (quoting 8 U.S.C. § 1252(e)(3)(A)). This action did not originate there. In concluding that § 1252(a)(2)(A) bars our review of Shunaula’s claim, we join every other circuit to have considered this matter. See Khan v.

Where a plaintiff seeks an inference of discrimination based on “disparate treatment,” he must show that “all of the relevant aspects of [his] employment situation were ‘nearly identical’ to those” of the other employees who did not suffer similar adverse employment actions.

Notably, the court in Jackson did not reject, but rather reiterated, the general rule that a claimant must bring “circumstantial evidence supporting the inference that the defendant(s) probably is responsible for the harm to the plaintiff.” Id. at 32, 574 P.2d at 825. And, since Jackson, our appellate courts have repeatedly applied the exclusive-control rule without correction from the supreme court. See, e.g., Ruiz v.

Berkowitz concluded that Great Northern obtained disadvantageous prices due to the criminal conspiracy involving Roach, Tringale, and Close.

Analysis Chapter 14 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code governs inmate litigation when the inmate claims inability to pay costs. In its 2011 session, the Texas Legislature amended Chapter 14. Prior to the amendments, Chapter 14 “applie[d] only to a suit brought by an inmate in a district, county, justice of the peace, or small claims court in which an affidavit or unsworn declaration of inability to pay costs [was] filed by the inmate.” In its pre-amended state, it was clear that “Chapter 14 [did] not apply to appellate courts.” Nabelek v.

The attacks on Yolanda, Karen, and Melissa occurred within a three-month period. Although the attack on Alisa occurred two years and nine months before the attack on Yolanda, this time interval did not require the trial court to find that the probative value of the evidence of each attack was substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice.

We grant the petition. The IJ abused his discretion by denying Chavez’s motion to reopen. See Jerezano v. INS, 169 F.3d 613, 615 (9th Cir.1999) ().

The applicable statute of limitations in this case is governed by § 13 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77m. As discussed in detail infra, § 13 has both a 1-year and 3-year limitations period.

Rhutasel et al. at 11-12 (unintentional procedural delays in ruling on class certification would terminate putative class members’ claims if tolling did not permit putative members to opt in to a representative suit after the statute of limitations had run).

In addition, N.J.S.A 2C:33-12.2a(4) contains the verb “facilitate,” which has uniformly been found not to offend the vagueness doctrine. See e.g., Matter of Kaster, 454 N.W.2d 876 (Iowa 1990) (reasoning that proscribed criminal activity was clearly defined and “facilitate” in the context of a forfeiture statute was not vague); People v.

The district court granted summary judgment on the trespass and negligent claims as a result, and Chessie does not ask us to review those decisions. Chessie’s idiosyncratic problems with its state-law claims do not provide a sound basis for finding an implied right of action, which would use congressional silence to work broad changes in the relationship between federal and state law affecting railroads. Finally, to support its argument for an implied right of action, Chessie cites court cases and administrative decisions in which the ICC Termination Act has been held to preempt various state laws.

Turner v. State, 805 S.W.2d 423, 431 (Tex.Crim.App.1991). The State asked the jury panel members whether they would require more evidence than one witness if they found the witness to be credible and believed the State proved all the elements of the offense beyond a reasonable doubt through that witness. Appellant did not object until after the State had directed the question to two panel members, and one of those potential jurors had further dialogue with the State about the question. Accordingly, appellant did not object at the earliest possible opportunity and waived the issue for our review. See Thrift v. State, 134 S.W.3d 475, 477 (Tex.App.-Waco 2004, no pet. granted) ().

Yet the record demonstrates the State consistently and adamantly characterized Simpson’s efforts to prevent the witness from testifying as a disqualification issue and repeatedly urged the district court to conduct a hearing on her competency as required by statute. The district court’s failure to focus on the State’s argument or to provide any clear basis for its ruling should not fall upon the State. Instead, I would hold that the district court clearly abused its discretion by failing to identify or isolate any legal basis for its harsh ruling despite the State’s efforts to provide the court with a framework for doing, so. See State v. Hernandez, 294 Kan. 200, 207, 273 P.3d 774 (2012) (); State v.

Attributing a reason is therefore both difficult and artificial.

If an earlier opinion “fairly appear[s] to rest primarily on federal law,” Coleman, [— U.S. at-], 111 S.Ct. at 2559, we will presume that no procedural default has been invoked by a subsequent unexplained order that leaves the judgmen 2d 737, 738 (N.Y.App.Div.1979) (); see also People v.

Swart, 679 F.2d 698 (7th Cir.1982), therefore, does not assist Sandoval-Vasquez. There, we ruled that officers’ entry into a business they knew was closed violated the Fourth Amendment. In this case, however, the officers entered an open business. Sandoval-Vasquez also attempts to distinguish Tolar on the basis that the officers here entered the premises with their weapons drawn, yelling that they were police officers and ordering the occupants against a wall. The officers’ entry in Tolar, in contrast, was peaceful. Sandoval-Vasquez thus maintains that in addition to entering the business shortly before it closed, the officers’ manner of entry into his business rendered the entry unlawful. See Wilson v. Arkansas, 514 U.S. 927, 934, 115 S.Ct. 1914, 131 L.Ed.2d 976 (1995) ().

The second requirement need not detain us. Fullerton pled guilty to a violation of Tex. Penal Code § 19.02. By entering this plea, he admitted that he intended to kill his victims or at least knew that his actions would cause their deaths. In other words, his convictions were valid because he admitted that the deaths were not accidents. The convictions are inconsistent both with the Buckners’ suggestion that Fullerton’s delusions made the shootings acts of self-defense and with their contention that he was legally insane during the incident. If the criminal proceedings decided anything, it was that the shootings were not “occurrences.” See Dinnery v. State, 592 S.W.2d 343, 352-54 (Tex.Crim.App.1979) ().

Thus, the physician suggested that United have Hall attend an IME if it intended to allow benefits based on Hall’s current condition. United immediately contacted Hall and set the IME within the extension deadline. A few days later, United sent another letter to Hall explaining this exact argument. Thus, United concludes that its request for an IME was made in good faith. The Court agrees. Accordingly, the Court finds that United’s plan allows it to require Hall to attend an IME during the appeal process and that Hall’s refusal to attend the IME resulted in him not exhausting his administrative remedies.

The court below denied relief, finding Johnston’s claim was procedurally barred for not having been raised on direct appeal or in prior posteonviction proceedings and because, under this Court’s precedents, mental illness is not a per se bar to execution. We agree with both these conclusions. Relying on the reasoning behind the United States Supreme Court’s rulings in Roper v.

We agree with the plaintiff, and conclude that in interpreting the language and interrelationship of §§ 31-307, 31-308 (b) and 31-315, we do not write on a clean slate, but are bound by our previous judicial interpretations of this language and the statutory scheme.

Several Sixth Circuit cases also suggest that liability is appropriate where the funding recipient was deliberately indifferent to known prior acts of harassment by the same perpetrator against victims other than the plaintiff, although these cases ultimately declined to find liability because the particular fact patterns did not support a finding that the defendant both had notice of these prior incidents and acted with deliberate indifference. See McCoy v. Board of Educ. of Columbus City Schs., 515 Fed.Appx. 387 (6th Cir.2013); Henderson v. Walled Lake Consol. Schs., 469 F.3d 479 (6th Cir.2006); Williams ex. rel. Hart v.

However, in both Sliney and Rutherford, the trial attorney had a sound reason for believing the omitted mitigation would have been harmful in some respect to the defendant’s case. In Sliney, the defendant was examined by a mental health expert prior to the penalty phase, and the report supplied to counsel contained substantial harmful information about the defendant and would have been inconsistent with other mitigation.

It was therefore defendant’s responsibility to present evidence of materiality at that time. See id. at 274. Defendant failed to do so. Thus the only record evidence concerning the issue of Argyle’s materiality is the above-quoted exchange between the trial court and defense counsel, which took place at the December 10 hearing. We therefore address whether that evidence is sufficient to support the trial court’s finding. The December 10 exchange between the trial court and defense counsel reveals that defense counsel was not able to make a plausible showing that Argyle’s testimony would be favorable to the defense, but rather could only speculate as to how he thought Argyle might testify.

Fla. Stat. Section 812.014(1) defines theft more broadly than the crime defined in 18 U.S.C. Section 661; the Florida statute makes punishable not only a taking but also knowing usage or attempts to use the property of another with intent to either, temporarily or permanently, deprive the other person of a right or benefit of the property or appropriate the property to his own use. Fla. Stat. § 812.014(1). Defendant would be subjected to additional punishments inconsistent with maritime law, including treble damages and payment of attorney’s fees and costs if Fla. Stat.

Despite the soundness of this reasoning, the USPS proceeded in this case to ignore it, indeed to contravene it directly, by justifying an unqualified suspension solely on the selective cost and service benefits to businesses engaged in international commerce. This approach is unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious. Cf. Clark-Cowlitz Joint Operating Agency v.

Even if the Court’s error is a proper subject of collateral relief, the error did not affect Mr. Cooke’s substantial rights. The Presentence Investigation Report noted the mandatory term of supervised release; in addition, the Court informed Mr. Cooke of the mandatory term at his sentencing hearing. Mr. Cooke failed to object to that information either in the report or at sentencing. Mr. Cooke’s own conduct, or lack thereof, proves that his substantial rights were not affected by the Court’s error. See United States v.

See generally Rule 5-302 NMRA. {17} Because grand jury proceedings are conducted by a prosecutor acting under the indirect supervision of the grand jury judge, we rely on the structural protections of the grand jury statutes and procedural rules to preserve the target’s rights and the integrity of the grand jury process. If the target of a grand jury investigation establishes, pretrial, that the grand jury proceedings were conducted in violation of these structural protections, the target is entitled to dismissal of the indictment and is not required to demonstrate prejudice. See, e.g., De Leon v.

Conditions Precedent Teco asserts Valero has failed to comply with contractual conditions precedent to enforce the agreement to arbitrate. Valero, on the other hand, maintains that whether it has satisfied any condition precedent is a question for the arbitrator, not the court. In support of this contention, Valero cites several federal cases construing the Federal Arbitration Act. See, e.g., Del E. Webb Constr. v. Richardson Hosp. Auth., 823 F.2d 145, 149 (5 th Cir.1987); Smith Barney Shearson, Inc. v. Boone, 838 F.Supp. 1156, 1158 (N.D.Tex.1993), aff'd, 47 F:3d 750 (5 th Cir.1995). We note that in construing the TGAA, there is a conflict among Texas courts of appeals on this issue. See, e.g., D. Wilson Constr. Co., 988 S.W.2d at 395 (); City of Lubbock v.

Nor was there any error in the court’s consideration of the pending Wisconsin charges during the § 3553(a) analysis because a sentencing court may further consider facts already taken into account during the guidelines calculations. See United States v. Aljabari, 626 F.3d 940, 951(7th Cir.2010); United States v. Tockes, 530 F.3d 628, 633 (7th Cir.2008) ().

Id. at 1312 (citations omitted). The robberies clarified the relationship between Mandacina, McGuire and Earlywine. The robberies brought both McGuire and Earlywine to Kansas City on numerous occasions to obtain firearms through the Mandarinas and to launder money. Most importantly, the robberies explained why McGuire would entrust Earlywine with knowledge of the Strada murder and why Mandacina would discuss a contract murder with McGuire, in Early-wine’s presence, without fearing that he would be reported to the authorities immediately. In light of the above, the evidence was more probative than prejudicial. The trial court need not issue a prior crimes limiting instruction sua sponte. See United States v. Williams, 994 F.2d 1287, 1290 (8th Cir.1993) ().

In response to Israel’s objections to the presentence report, the probation officer noted that the search also resulted in the seizure of video-surveillance equipment and $1,047 in cash. The district court found that Israel possessed the firearms in connection with drug trafficking, noting that there had been a number of controlled buys from Israel, that he was in possession of cocaine when the search warrant was executed, that the firearms were hidden, that there was “a lot” of ammunition, and that scales and other indicia of drug trafficking were found. The district court expressed concern about Israel’s possession of a firearm with a large capacity magazine: “I really don’t know why anybody would have one of those for any reason.” See Taylor, 648 F.3d at 433 ().

Id., at 7-8; cf. Michigan Beer & Wine Wholesalers Assn. v. Attorney General, 142 Mich. App., at 311, 370 N. W. 2d, at 336 (explaining that “any additional impact on the level of consumption attributable to the absence of price advertisements would be negligible”). 18 Outside the First Amendment context, we have refused to uphold alcohol advertising bans premised on similarly speculative assertions about their impact on consumption.

Agco Corp., 192 F.3d 856 (9th Cir.1999), where plaintiffs endured multiple harassing incidents over two or more years. In reaching this conclusion, the district court appears to have impliedly adopted a legal standard that would require plaintiffs to suffer more than one incident of sexual harassment over a number of years in order to establish a hostile work environment. However, no such requirement exists or should be implied. Indeed, one incident of sexual harassment may suffice to establish a viable claim if it is sufficiently severe. See, e.g., Little v.

(2) Recognition of Mental Disorder Harvey asserts that Perez’s deposition testimony supports a finding that Perez did not have any training as to § 5150 detentions beyond initial academy training. Harvey argues that had Perez been given additional training, Perez would have realized there was no probable cause to believe Harvey’s behavior was the result of a mental disorder. Where a plaintiff bases a Monell claim on the theory that the training provided on a specific subject is insufficient, the plaintiff cannot prevail by offering, without more, evidence that the government entity miscalculated the amount of time necessary to adequately prepare its employees. See Mateyko v.

Bennett, 814 P.2d 476, 481 (Okla.1991); Okla.Stat. tit. 41, § 124 (providing a tenant -with an action when a landlord makes an unlawful entry). Therefore, any “other invasion of the right of private occupancy” is appropriately interpreted as also requiring an invasion of a real property right. The clear weight of authority in other courts defines this term precisely as we have suggested. See Red Ball Leasing, Inc. v. Hartford Accident & Indent. Co., 915 F.2d 306, 312 (7th Cir.1990) (applying the rule of ejusdem generis to the personal injury definition of “other invasion of the right of private occupancy” to determine that under Indiana law, it “precludes covera 766, 215 Cal.Rptr. 416, 421-22 (1985) (same); Harbor Ins.

See Brooks v. State, 281 Ga. 514, 516 (640 SE2d 280) (2007). Appellant suggests that these evidentiary issues are subject to review on appeal for “plain error.” However, in criminal cases, plain error review currently is limited to appellate review of alleged errors in the sentencing phase of a trial resulting in the death penalty, see Sharp v. State, 286 Ga. 799, 801 (692 SE2d 325) (2010); to alleged violations of OCGA § 17-8-57, see State v.

Kelly, 290 Ga. 29, 32 (718 SE2d 232) (2011). Thus, plain error review does not apply to the evidentiary issue raised in this case. See Brooks, 281 Ga. at 516 ().

Finally, it is important to note a further state law ground on which this claim founders. The Supreme Court of Virginia correctly found that Powell invited any error that may have been committed by the trial court in this regard. See Powell, 590 S.E.2d at 559-60. It was Powell who chose to disclose to the potential jurors that he had been previously convicted of capital murder. Hence, under the doctrine of “invited error,” Powell may not contend that potential jurors were tainted by their knowledge of his prior conviction when he is the one who disclosed the prior conviction to them.

Claims against the Federal Defendants. The FTCA is the exclusive remedy for obtaining damages based on tortious conduct committed by a federal employee acting within the scope of his employment.

Here, Plaintiff has sued four federal employees for damages based on alleged torts that those employees committed while acting in the scope of their employment as officers of the USSS. Compl. ¶¶ 8-9. Accordingly, Plaintiffs tort claims against the Federal Defendants are governed by the FTCA. See, e.g., Ignatiev v. United States, 238 F.3d 464, 465 (D.C.Cir.2001) ().

Although the Court acknowledges that the Commission’s “experience, technical competence, specialized knowledge and discretionary authority” are entitled to “due weight,” this principle is “one of deference, not abdication.” Brown-Forman, 65 Mass.App.Ct. at 503 (quoting Leopoldstadt, Inc. v.

Defendants have cited no authority suggesting that such an allegation of harm is insufficient based on failure to raise similar challenges in the past. Finally, although defendants appear to be correct in their assertion that the procedural harm arising from a NEPA violation is insufficient, standing alone, to constitute irreparable harm justifying issuance of a preliminary injunction, when combined with the irreparable aesthetic injuries alleged by plaintiffs, such procedural harm does bolster plaintiffs’ case for a preliminary injunction. See Amoco Production Co. v. Village of Gambell, 480 U.S. 531, 545, 107 S.Ct. 1396, 94 L.Ed.2d 542 (1987) (); Fund for Animals v.

Therefore, since a shareholder may waive notice by attending a meeting and not objecting, one cannot say that the failure to provide a shareholder with notice of a meeting causes the actions taken at the meeting to be void ab initio. Third, both this Court and our Supreme Court have consistently held that the failure to provide a director with the required notice of a special board meeting renders the actions taken at the meeting voidable — mot void — and thus subject to ratification. See Gordon v. Preston, 1 Watts 385 (Pa.1833) (); Moller v.

There is no suggestion of unlawful conduct or other impropriety. The Board’s decision is based on the lack of compatibility between Mr. McBride and the manner in which the Board desires the Authority to be operated. In Bristol Virginia School Board v. Quarles, the court held that public termination for “ineffective leadership” and “lack of communication with personnel” did not implicate protected liberty interests. 235 Va. 108, 366 S.E.2d 82, 85 (1988) (outlining the trend among federal courts to implicate liberty interests in eases involving “specific charges of moral turpitude, criminal activity, or serious character defects,” but not in cases involving “unelaborated charges relating to job performance”).

Plaintiffs argue that the documentation which demonstrates the exact dates of all submissions of the alleged false claims to the Government is in possession of Defendants. The court does not expect two former employees, whose employment was terminated almost two years ago, to remember each date. The Ninth Circuit agrees. See United States ex rel.

Moreover, “it is axiomatic that the proof required to show that a defendant knowingly associated with an existing conspiracy ‘need not be overwhelming.’ ” Viola, 35 F.3d at 44 (citation omitted). Indeed, participation in the conspiracy can be shown entirely through circumstantial evidence. Id. We find that the Complaint states a valid § 1962(d) claim against Ortoli.

It was also relevant to projecting appellant’s future ability to provide a safe environment and suitable level of care for the child. Appellant’s hearsay argument is also unavailing.

In Christianburg Garment Co. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, 434 U.S. 412, 417, 98 S.Ct. 694, 698, 54 L.Ed.2d 648 (1978), the Supreme Court noted that under the attorneys’ fees provision of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(k) (1976), attorneys’ fees should be awarded to a prevailing plaintiff in all but special circumstances.

The issue of whether ISN’s request for a stay is moot is a question of law to be reviewed de novo. Green v. City Of Raleigh, 523 F.3d 293, 298 (4th Cir.2008). Similarly, whether the district court order requiring ISN to pay Saakvitne was one for injunctive or monetary relief is also subject to de novo review. Because ISN has already paid Saakvitne and ISN did not appeal the district court’s denial of its request for a stay under Fed. R.App. P. 8(a)(2), ISN’s appeal of the earlier December 2009 order is now moot. See, e.g., Koger v. United States, 755 F.2d 1094, 1096-98 (4th Cir.1985) ().

The government moved to enforce the appeal waiver under United States v. Hahn, 359 F.3d 1315 (10th Cir.2004) (per curiam) (en banc). For the reasons explained below, we grant the motion and dismiss the appeal. In Hahn, 359 F.3d at 1325, we held that a waiver of appellate rights will be enforced if (1) “the disputed appeal falls within the scope of the waiver of appellate rights; (2) ... the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his appellate rights; and (3) ... enforcing the waiver would [not] result in a miscarriage of justice.” Garza concedes that his appeal falls within the scope of the waiver of appellate rights.

On August 27, 1990, a sentence of probation with restitution was imposed for each of these first two offenses. The probation for these first two adjudications, however, was revoked on July 29, 1992, and Gilkey was ordered into custody. On November 3, 1992, when Gilkey was 17, he was referred to the juvenile court for his third juvenile adjudication, for carrying a concealed weapon. A sentence of continued custody was imposed for this third adjudication. Gilkey remained in custody until April 8,1993. Gilkey concedes that his confinement constituted a “juvenile sentence to confinement” for purposes of § 4A1.2(d)(2)(A). See Appellant Br. at 11; see also United States v.

The Court finds that, on the record before it, Fridman’s argument is too tenuous to prevail. Traditionally, a defendant must have exercised power “possessed by virtue of state law and made possible only because the wrongdoer is clothed with the authority of state law for its conduct to constitute state action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.” See West v. Atkins, 487 U.S. 42, 49, 108 S.Ct. 2250, 101 L.Ed.2d 40 (1988). Accordingly, a private entity’s conduct may become so entwined with governmental policies, or so impregnated with a governmental character as to become subject to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. See Kia P. v.

See Brujis v. Shaw, 876 F.Supp. 975, 978 (N.D.Ill.1995). As noted, the fiduciary shield denies personal jurisdiction if the individual’s actions were “solely on behalf of his employer.” Rice, 38 F.3d at 912. If the individual “was acting also on his own behalf—to serve his personal interests,” the shield does not apply. Id. (emphasis added). The personal interests need not be pecuniary—they may be dislike or malice towards the plaintiff. See id.; Roy v. Austin Co., 1994 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 16254 at *6-7 (N.D.Ill.1994) ().

Having set forth the test for determining whether a special employer relationship exists, we must now analyze these factors as they apply to the facts of the instant ease to determine if Allied is Bowens’s special employer. Whether an individual is a special employee for workers’ compensation purposes is generally a question of fact. However, a court may find special employment status as a matter of law where the pleadings, depositions, answers to interrogatories, together with affidavits establish that there is no genuine issue of material fact to the contrary.

(quoting Foote, 808 P.2d at 735). Accordingly, we hold that a district court does not generally have the authority to order the Board of Pardons to credit an inmate’s sentence with time served as a condition of probation. However, because the establishment of an original parole date is inherently a sentencing function and the Board of Pardons therefore serves as a sentencing entity in our system, id., “the Board [of Pardons], like the courts, is governed by constitutional requirements addressing accuracy and fairness in the decision-making process.” Id. at 911. Thus, while the Board exercises unfettered discretion in determining the length of an inmate’s sentence, its actions must not violate the inmate’s constitutional rights. See id. ().

People v. McKinney, 794 N.W.2d at 614-15 (internal citation omitted). However, the crux of this case is whether Detective Hod-shire’s comment “Well that’s fine, but like I said” was interrogation. If Hodshire’s statement was interrogation, then the Michigan Supreme Court improperly used McKinney’s second statement in determining that he did not unequivocally request counsel. See Smith v.

The father filed a timely postjudgment motion, which the trial court granted in part and denied in part. The father timely appealed to this court.

The father further notes that the mother petitioned only for postminority support for their adult disabled daughter, see Ex parte Brewington, 445 So.2d 294, 297 (Ala.1983) (), which, he says, can be awarded only in ### Response: recognizing that a parent can petition for postminority support for a disabled child " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the Michigan Court of Appeals decision that Petitioner consented to the mistrial was not an unreasonable application of Supreme Court precedent. VI. Conclusion The Court concludes that Petitioner’s right to be free from double jeopardy was not violated. Therefore, it is ORDERED that the petition for a writ of habeas corpus is DENIED. 2 . The Double Jeopardy Clause is made applicable to the states through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Benton v. Maryland, 395 U.S. 784, 89 S.Ct. 2056, 23 L.Ed.2d 707 (1969). 3 . Implied consent to a mistrial does not implicate the line of Supreme Court cases holding that fundamental Constitutional rights may not be deemed waived on a silent record. See Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 242-43, 89 S.Ct. 1709, 23 L.Ed.2d 274 (1969)().

Wisconsin law and not federal principles of res judicata or collateral estoppel governs the effect of the state court judgment on this action. 28 U.S.C. § 1738; Winters v. Lavine, 574 F.2d 46 (2d Cir. 1978); Omernick v. LaRocque, 406 F.Supp. 1156 (W.D.Wis.1976); Allen v. McCurry, __U.S. __at__, 101 S.Ct. 411 at 415-16, 66 L.Ed.2d 308 (1980). Thus, this Court must give to the Door County Circuit Court judgment at least the preclusive effect which the courts of the State of Wisconsin would give it. Allen v. McCurry, supra; Williams v.

We assume, arguendo, that Gary Friedman’s request to charge the jury with determining whether the plot involved a plan to commit a “crime of violence” was sufficient to preserve the issue of the failure to charge the jury with determining whether the deaths of Kovach and Gould were caused by the “crime of violence,” and, accordingly, review the claim for harmless error pursuant to Fed. R.Crim.P. 52(a). See Neder v. United States, 527 U.S. 1, 10-11, 119 S.Ct. 1827, 144 L.Ed.2d 35 (1999) (); see also United States v.

(Resp. at 3.) However the decisions discussed above explicitly considered — and rejected- — -the very policy arguments stressed by Defendants here. See, e.g., LeCompte, 780 F.2d at 1264. None of the authorities cited by Defendants as supporting their position addressed the issue of indemnity or contribution for FLSA violations. In Luder v. Endicott, 253 F.3d 1020, 1022 (7th Cir. 2001), the court observed that a supervisor who uses his authority over employees to violate their rights under the FLSA may be liable to those employees (although, in that case, the claim was barred by the Eleventh Amendment).

We are persuaded that the first line of cases correctly interprets the statute. This interpretation gives meaning to both sentences of § 506(a), and enables bankruptcy courts to exercise the flexibility Congress intended. By retaining collateral, a Chapter 11 debtor is ensuring that the very event Winthrop proposes to use to value the property — a foreclosure sale — will not take place. At the same time, the debtor should not be heard to argue that, in valuing the collateral, the court should disregard the very event that, according to the debtor’s plan, will take place — namely, the debtor’s use of the collateral to generate an income stream.

When a plaintiff moves for summary judgment against a defendant’s counterclaim, the plaintiff must negate one or more of the essential elements of the defendant’s counterclaim. Martin v. McDonnold, 247 S.W.3d 224, 229 (Tex.App.-El Paso 2006, no pet.). Because the trial court’s order did not specify the ground(s) on which the summary judgment was granted, and because there were multiple grounds on which summary judgment may have been granted in the instant case, the State is required to negate all grounds on appeal. See Star-Telegram, Inc., v. Doe, 915 S.W.2d 471, 474 (Tex.1995); State Farm Fire & Cas. Co. v. S.S., 858 S.W.2d 374, 381 (Tex.1993); Lewis v.

This leaves pending for resolution only the Rodriguez’ cross-appeal of the March 29 order permitting Octubre to intervene and staying collection and their certiorari petition challenging the propriety of that same order.

If, after employing the first prong of Chevron, the Court determines that the statute is silent or ambiguous with respect to the specific issue, the question for the Court becomes whether Commerce’s construction of the statute is permissible. See Chevron, 467 U.S. at 843, 104 S.Ct. 2778. Essentially, this is an inquiry into the reasonableness of Commerce’s interpretation. See Fujitsu Gen. Ltd. v.

Apart from the McDonnell Douglas framework, a plaintiff can raise an inference of discrimination (i.e., create a prima facie case) with circumstantial or direct evidence of discriminatory intent. Vasquez, 349 F.3d at 640. If the plaintiff attempts to do so and the employer provides evidence of a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason for the adverse employment action, to avoid summary judgment, the plaintiffs evidence must be such as to create a triable issue as to discriminatory intent.

Because of the timing of this filing — prior to any decision in the case, plaintiff's request for reconsideration is not ripe for judicial review.

See 28 U.S.C. § 1491(b)(1). In that regard, the court notes that the modus operandi employed by Waste Management — Washington in this case apparently has been tried by an affiliated company in another court without success.

But Compuware squandered this opportunity, providing only a short, virtually fact-free, one-paragraph response to Moody’s inquiry. Compuware now attempts to use against Moody’s this cursory response, arguing that Moody’s should have investigated the issue further. But this sort of argument is not supported by precedent. The relevant legal inquiry focuses on the extent of the defendant’s efforts to avoid the truth, not the extent of the defendant’s investigation to discover the truth. See Perk, 931 F.2d at 411-12. Because Moody’s actively sought to learn about the relationship and litigation between Compuware and IBM, any alleged investigatory deficiencies are insufficient to establish actual malice.

In other words, the State had to prove only that Howard and Weldon, working together and with malice aforethought, were jointly responsible for Le’s death. See S.C.Code Ann. § 16-3-10 (Law Co-op.1985) (defining murder as “the killing of any person with malice aforethought, either express or implied”). Therefore, because South Carolina does not require that a defendant have specific intent to commit murder, nothing in Howard’s original confessions was exculpatory for Fifth Amendment purposes and in no way diminished Howard’s legal blameworthiness for the murder.

The defendant’s shot r ammunition and the crime is too tenuous, such evidence is generally not relevant. In Cooper v. State, the Third District held that evidence of ammunition found on a murder defendant nine months after the murder which could not be definitively matched to the ammunition used in the murder was too tenuous to the crime to be admissible. 778 So.2d 542, 544 (Fla. 3d DCA 2001).

Therefore, Plaintiffs claims under the FTCA are without merit, and should be dismissed. Conclusion Based on the foregoing, it is recommended that the Defendant Berry and Paul’s motion for summary judgment with respect to Plaintiffs Bivens claim concerning his placement in the SHU on August 31, 2001 be denied. In all other respects, the Defendants’ motions for summary judgment should be granted. September 7, 2006. 1 .

The father filed a motion to modify custody, which the trial court sustained, finding a substantial and continuing change of circumstances based, inter alia, on the mother’s remarriage and move to Fulton. Id. at 752. The judgment was reversed on appeal, the appellate court finding that the mother’s move from southeast Missouri to central Missouri was not a change of circumstances sufficient to warrant a change of custody.

Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009), usurped the jury’s fact-finding role. We cannot agree. Whether to grant a Rule 60(b)(6) motion is within the district court’s sound discretion. Cano v. Baker, 435 F.3d 1337, 1342 (11th Cir.2006) (per curiam). Yeyille has shown no exceptional circumstance that warrants relief. A plaintiffs right to a jury trial is not violated merely because his ease is dismissed before trial. See Garvie v. City of Ft.

The Bankruptcy Code does not authorize the Trustee to collect property or money except that which is owed to the estate. 2. The Trustee alternatively contends that the conspiracy claim belongs to the bankruptcy estate because, unlike in Caplin, the claim here seeks to remedy an injury to all of Bradley’s creditors and not merely a subset thereof. Even assuming that any or all of Bradley’s creditors could properly assert the claim, we disagree that this fact alone confers standing on the Trustee. This court recently clarified that, when determining whether a claim is property of the bankruptcy estate such that the trustee has standing to assert it under 11 U.S.C. § 541(a), the distinction between claims that 52-53 (5th Cir.1987) ().

In addition, Koerber did not file his motion to suppress statements from the February 2009 interviews until April 2012. Moreover, Koerber did not file a motion to dismiss for an STA violation until April 2014-nearly five years after the grand jury returned its initial indictment. At the same time, Koerber filed his motion before trial when it was clear that there was an STA violation in this case. See 18 U.S.C. § 3162(a)(2) (“Failure of the defendant to move for dismissal prior to trial ... shall constitute a waiver of the right to dismissal under this section.”); United States v.

Accordingly, it is at least plausible that the pollution exclusion was not meant to and does not apply to lead exposure claims. There are several lower state court cases, cited by both plaintiff and defendant that interpret the pollution exclusion, as applied to lead poisoning and other injuries, in seemingly incongruous ways. The relevant Appellate Division cases are: American Heritage Realty Partnership v. La Voy, 209 A.D.2d 749, 618 N.Y.S.2d 125 (3d Dep’t 1994) (); Miano v.

Id. As the in camera review reveals, all of those features of the DeLoach Memorandum are reflective of the “highly unconventional” nature of the investigation at issue. By pointing out those features, and by presenting the Court with substantial external evidence of similar improper conduct by DeLoach and the Hoover FBI, Plaintiff has demonstrated that the allegation of improper conduct by the FBI is “more than a bare suspicion.” See Favish, 541 U.S. at 174, 124 S.Ct. 1570 ().

I believe that the language of this provision, which includes “thirty (30) days before the primary----” as its reference point of disaffiliation, when read in context, clearly reveals that the General Assembly intended it to apply to major, not minor, political parties. This is so because in the Election Code, the legislature has determined that only major parties may gain ballot access through the primary process. See Heicklen v. Pennsylvania Board of Elections, 751 A.2d 260, 262 (Pa.Cmwlth.), aff'd per curiam, 561 Pa. 33, 747 A.2d 894 (2000)() Further, even if Camejo’s affidavit were ### Response: holding that 25 pacs 28722 is capable of only one meaning that minor political parties must nominate candidates by nomination papers and are not entitled to participate at party primaries " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to demonstrate a nexus because his fear of “ordinary crime” or “private violence” by “unknown persons” did not amount to evidence of persecution based on a statutorily protected ground.

As a matter of law, such evidence of high levels of general criminal activity within a country alone is insufficient to “constitute evidence of persecution based on a statutorily protected ground.” See Ruiz v.

We disagree. The statutes from which the city derives its broad public policy are part of the OTCA. By its terms, the OTCA establishes when the state and its subdivisions must expend public funds to address tort claims. Through the amendment of ORS 30.285 and ORS 30.287 in 1975, the legislature expanded the OTCA to require the state and its subdivisions to take financial responsibility for tort claims filed against their employees. Indeed, the Supreme Court has explicitly held that ORS 30.287 is directed to “torts, [and] not to other claims.” City of Tualatin v. City-County Ins.

Similarly, there is no evidence in the record that National’s failure to pay its post-petition taxes was due to reliance on the advice of counsel. Conway’s reference to a few vague and conclusory statements of reliance in the record falls far short of pointing to specific substantive evidence that would support a conclusion that the taxes were not owed. While there is some evidence that counsel told management what debts to pay, no evidence suggests that counsel advised that preferring other creditors would not subject National’s officers to personal liability for the excise taxes.

As far as we can tell, Davis had never been advised of his Miranda rights with respect to this case before talking to Judd. Under these circumstances, we are compelled to conclude that Davis’s untaped confession to Judd should have been suppressed. Notwithstanding, the erroneous admission of this confession was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Shortly after confessing in his holding cell, Davis gave a taped statement in which he voluntarily gave the same information contained in his prior statement to Judd. This statement was clearly admissible because Davis was fully informed of (and waived) his Miranda rights before the start of the taping session. See Oregon v.

When the record contains no legitimate reason for questioning the credibility of a party’s statements, a decision to disregard those statements based solely on the fact that they assist the party in proving his or her case is necessarily arbitrary and contrary to the law.

Gurnik v. Lee, 587 N.E.2d 706, 709 (Ind.Ct.App.1992). Rather, we will consider the substance of the compensation to determine whether it is subject to the Wage Payment Statute. Id. We have recognized that wages are ""something akin to the wages paid on a regular periodic basis for regular work done by the employee."" Wank v. St. Francis College, 740 N.E.2d 908, 912 (Ind.Ct.App.2000) (quotation and citation omitted), trams. denied. Deferred payment of compensation that accrued during an employee's tenure is a wage. Id. However, if the compensation is linked to the financial sue-cess of the employer, it is not a wage. See id.; see also Highhouse v.

Dunphy argues that the terms and conditions of his employment would have been materially altered by these transfers because they would have enabled him to work out of his home and thus avoid a long commute. While “the difference in location is certainly of tantamount importance to Plaintiff, it does not raise the denial of Plaintiffs transfer request to the level of an adverse employment action.” Duncan v. Shalala, No. 97 Civ. 3607, 2000 WL 1772655, at *4 (E.D.N.Y. Nov. 29, 2000) (); Nonnenmann v.

The plaintiff also sued Principal Johnson for abuse of a teacher, but she conceded at the pretrial conference of this case that she will forgo this claim. 4 . These latter non-suspension-related allegations are substantive due process claims because the plaintiff argues that these actions were categorically unconstitutional, not that they were unconstitutional because they were taken before she received notice and an opportunity to be heard. See Charles v. Baesler, 910 F.2d 1349, 1352-53 (6th Cir.1990). 5 . The collective bargaining agreement between the JCTA and the Board (the ""CBA”) does appear to grant the plaintiff a property interest in continued pay and benefits since it provides that a teacher may be suspended only for ""just cause.” See Cleveland Bd 85)(); with Gillard v.

Ultimately, the general partners agreed to a settlement whereby the price to be paid by Horsham was reduced by $200,000, of which $100,000 would be deducted from the sum to be received by the partnership and $100,000 deducted from the commission to be received by Padmar. Padmar also agreed to guarantee Horsham $500,000 of future lease payments as they became due under the Leases. The sale then closed, and the cash proceeds of sale were distributed to and accepted by all of the limited partners. II. STANDARD OF REVIEW The general partners contend this is a derivative action, cognizable in equity and thus this court may find facts in accordance with our view of the preponderance of the evidence. Pelfrey v. Bank of Greer, 270 S.C. 691, 244 S.E. (2d) 315 (1978) (). Conversely, the limited partners argue ### Response: holding a shareholders derivative action even where the only relief allowed is a recovery of damages is nevertheless a suit in equity and not an action at law " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in federal court. See Wilson v. MVM, Inc., 475 F.3d 166, 174-75 (3d Cir. 2007) (distinguishing between prudential and jurisdictional exhaustion requirements, and holding that the administrative-exhaustion requirement found in the Rehabilitation Act is prudential in nature). Turning now to the case before us, we note that HHC has raised a legitimate question as to whether Allen’s and Slone’s disparate-impact claims have been exhausted. Specifically, HHC plausibly contends that the plaintiffs did not adequately describe their discrimination claim such that an EEOC investigation into potential liability based on disparate impact could have “reasonably expected to grow out of the charge of discrimination.” See Ang v. Procter & Gamble Co., 932 F.2d 540, 545 (6th Cir.1991) (citation omitted) (). Allen simply stated in her EEOC charge that ### Response: holding that this court does not necessarily require the claim to be specifically raised in an eeoc charge provided that it satisfies this scopeofinvestigation test " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the incarceration that results from revocation is a consequence of the underlying crime of conviction. Indeed, New York law provides that time served as a result of revocation must be credited against the original sentence. See id. § 70.40(3) (providing that original sentenc (5th Cir.2011), and United States v. Morales-Alejo, 193 F.3d 1102 (9th Cir.1999), relied on by Bussey, warrant no different conclusion. In Garcia-Rodriguez, the Fifth Circuit ruled that supervision was not tolled during administrative detention pending deportation, see 640 F.3d at 133-34; in Morales-Alejo, the Ninth Circuit reached the same conclusion with re spect to pre-trial detention where the defendant later pleaded guilty, see 193 F.3d at 1105; but see United States v. Goins, 516 F.3d 416, 423 (6th Cir.2006) (). The reason for these conclusions is that such ### Response: holding that pretrial detention credited against ultimate sentence triggers tolling " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 99 S.Ct. at 1757. Here, defendant’s silence and his participation in the debriefing sessions did not constitute waiver. More than a failure to request counsel and subsequent conversations with the prosecutor pursuant to a cooperation agreement are required to find waiver in the debriefing context. For purposes of clarity, it is helpful to explain precisely what is required. Defendant and his counsel should be given reasonable notice of the time and place of the scheduled debriefing so that counsel might be present. A cooperating witness’s failure to be accompanied by counsel at debriefing may later be construed as a waiver, providing defendant and counsel have had notice so that the consequences of counsel’s failure to attend could be explained to defendant. Cf. Auen, 864 F.2d at 5 (); United States v. Weninger, 624 F.2d 163, 167 ### Response: holding that defendants failure to obtain counsel despite opportunities to do so implied a waiver of counsel " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: HRS § 386-88 supersedes HRS § 91-14 and removes the circuit court from the appellate process with regard to the proceedings brought under HRS ch. 386”. Id. In DeVictoria v. H & K Contractors, 56 Haw. 552, 545 P.2d 692 (1976), the supreme court confirmed HRS § 91-14(b) provides that “proceedings for review shall be instituted in the circuit court ... except where a statute provides for a direct appeal to the supreme court."" DeVictoria, 56 Haw. at 556 n. 3, 545 P.2d at 697, n. 3 (emphasis added). Therefore, under Ras and DeVictoria, HRS chapter 91 applies except with respect to the circuit court provision. Thus, HRS § 91-14 concerning the standard of review on appeal governs in the present case. See Ostrowski v. Wasa Elec. Servs., Inc., 87 Hawai'i 492, 495, 960 P.2d 162, 165 (App.1998) (); Williams v.

(quoting Pierce v. Ortho Pharmaceutical Corp., 84 N.J. 58, 417 A.2d 505, 512 (1980)). Accordingly, the courts interpreting New Mexico law have adhered to the rule that retaliatory discharge is a narrow exception to the rule of employment at will and have refused to expand its application. See Zaccardi v. Zale Corp., 856 F.2d 1473, 1475-76 (10th Cir.l988)(discharge for refusal to take polygraph examination did not violate public policy); Ellis v.

See id. The Tax Court sustained the Commissioner’s determination, as did we. See id. at 23. Specifically, we approved the Commissioner’s use of a ratio based on .the judgment in apportioning the undifferentiated settlement proceeds as between prejudgment interest and compensatory damages.

Dwyer already amended her complaint once as of right. The United States objects. Standard of Review The United States’ 12(b)(1) motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction is predicated on the discretionary function exception to the Federal Tort Claims Act. See 28 U.S.C.A. § 2680(a). If the exception applies, the court lacks subject matter jurisdiction to hear the case. See id.; Magee v. United States, 121 F.3d 1, 4 (1st Cir.1997). Therefore, the court must resolve the 12(b)(1) motion to dismiss first, before undertaking a summary judgment analysis on the merits of the plaintiffs claim. See Williams v. United States, 50 F.3d 299, 304-05 (4th Cir.1995); see also United States v. Swiss Am. Bank, 191 F.3d 30, 46 (1st Cir.1999) (); Miller v.

Furthermore, as the court discussed above, the “totality of the circumstances” to be considered in determining whether reasonable suspicion existed to support Johnson’s seizure also includes all of Johnson’s non-compliant conduct after being ordered to show his hands. See Valentine, 232 F.3d at 358. In the present case, as Silvers stepped out of the police car, Johnson had a “very surprised look” on his case. Tr. at 49.

We note that our decision in Smitherman was not available to the district court when it ruled on the motion at issue in this appeal. 10 . In applying an earlier version of the Iowa Rules of Professional Conduct, we recognized screens could be effective in mitigating imputed conflicts under certain circumstances. See Smitherman, 733 N.W.2d at 344, 348 (discussing the effective use of a ""Chinese wall” by the public defender’s office); Doe v. Perry Cmty. Sch. Dist., 650 N.W.2d 594, 597-98 (Iowa 2002) ().

The subject at issue (amendment of RCW 9A.28-.020) is clearly expressed in the title of ESSB 6151. The bill has an overarching theme related to the management of sex offenders, and the title references the criminal attempt statute. The title notifies an interested reader that the amendments to the criminal attempt statute relate to the management of sex offenders. Because the title gives notice of the subjects contained within the legislation, Alexander’s claim that the criminal attempt statute violates the subject-in-title rtain 1999 tax and fee increases be nullified, vehicles exempted from property taxes, and property tax increases (except new construction) limited to 2% annually?” was a general title); Amalgamated Transit, 142 Wn.2d at 193, 217 ### Response: holding title shall voter approval be required for any tax increase license tab fees be 30 per year for motor vehicles and existing vehicle taxes be repealed was a general title " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that even assuming the ground invasion had reached the subsurface and become an “offending concentration under some of the appellants’ properties ... some type of physical damages or interference with use must have been demonstrated for appellants to recover for a trespass.” Id. “Stigma damages” were not enough, as they did not indicate actual damage or interference with use.

Furthermore, while the Tenth Circuit cautions against appointing multiple individuals to represent a child, see Garrick v. Weaver, 888 F.2d 687, 693 (10th Cir.1989) (reasoning that “[allowing two parties, the court-appointed guardian ad litem and [a next friend], to represent the minor children interferes with the orderly development of the lawsuit”), it does not support the defendant’s proposition that the court does not have the power to replace a guardian ad litem with another guardian for a specific purpose, see Id.

Id. Applying this analytical framework, we must determine whether Minn.Stat. § 609.165 is criminal/prohibitory or civil/regulatory. Recently, we addressed this exact issue in an unpublished opinion in State v. Bellanger, No. A06-1907, 2007 WL 4472287, at *l-*2 (Minn.App. Dec. 24, 2007), review denied (Minn. Mar. 18, 2008), and concluded that Minn.Stat. § 609.165 was criminal/prohibitory. Although not prece-dential, we find the reasoning in Bellanger to be persuasive, and we adopt it here. See Minn.Stat. § 480A.08, subd. 3 (2008) (“[Ujnpublished opinions of the court of appeals are not precedential.”); Dynamic Air, Inc. v. Bloch, 502 N.W.2d 796, 800 (Minn.App.1993) ().

Hence, Terry was convicted of conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery in contravention of section 18-4-302(a) and (b). Because aggravated robbery under section 18-4-302(b) is a per se crime of violence under the reasoning of this court’s holding in Alonzo Terry, conspiracy to commit that crime “is itself a crime of violence” under section 18-2-201(4.5). Therefore, under our holding today, Terry must be sentenced according to the provisions of section 16-11-309(1)(a), resulting in a minimum lawful sentence of five years. We thus affirm the court of appeals’ order vacating Terry’s sentence, and we remand this ease for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. 1 . 791 P.2d 374 (Colo.1990) (). 2 .

But there need not be an agreed-upon damages range for an award to be inadequate. See Mekdeci 711 F.2d at 1514 (finding that the zero dollars in damages awarded by the jury to an injured child was inadequate because defendant never disputed the child’s damages and the evidence was uncontroverted).

The courts of appeals, including the Sixth Circuit, have attached an additional gloss to the Brady rule. “ ‘[T]here is no Brady violation if the defendant knew or should have known the essential facts permitting him to take advantage of the information in question, or if the information was available to him from another source.’ ” Jones v.

As a practical matter, the effect of a trial court’s finding that a defendant is mentally retarded is that the State loses the option to pursue the death penalty. Once a defendant is tried and judgment is entered, the State has no appeal as of right under the Tennessee Rules of Appellate Procedure. See Tenn. R.App. P. 3(c) (providing for State’s appeal as of right in limited circumstances, not including a trial court’s finding that a defendant is mentally retarded). Furthermore, even if a defendant were to appeal on other grounds and successfully obtain a retrial, the State would arguably be barred by principles of double jeopardy from seeking the death penalty in subsequent sentencing proceedings. See Arizona v. Rumsey, 467 U.S. 203, 212, 104 S.Ct. 2305, 81 L.Ed.2d 164 (1984) ().

See Nickerson v, State, 927 So.2d 114, 117 (Fla. 4th DCA 2006). The State concedes that a defendant is generally entitled to counsel at sentencing or re-sentencing. See Cross v. State, 18 So.3d 1235, 1236 (Fla. 1st DCA 2009) (stating that a defendant has the right to be represented by an attorney at resentencing). However, the State argues that the defendant was not entitled to the appointment of counsel because the trial court’s actions were ministerial. See generally Frost v.

The district court’s error was “plain.” Olano, 507 U.S. at 734, 113 S.Ct. 1770. In this circuit, one circumstance in which an error may be plain is “if, at the time it was made, a clear precedent in the Supreme Court or this circuit established its erroneous character.” United States v.

Burrell admitted he had no facts to suggest that anyone else was in the house, and he admitted that he neither saw nor heard any movement in the house. To the extent other agents conducted surveillance of the residence before Burrell arrived, they also failed to detect the presence of any other persons. We therefore conclude that the search was unwarranted because there was no evidence to support any specific safety concerns involving any other persons at the arrest scene. See United States v.

Here, Garcia’s counsel repeatedly elicited or opened the door to evidence that set his client up for impeachment by the State and damaged Garcia’s credibility with the jury. Given the inherently prejudicial nature of extraneous offense evidence, the fact that the evidence would not have been otherwise admissible by the State during guilt/innocence, and the fact that Garcia’s defense rested almost entirely on his credibility, there could have been no reasonable trial strategy for Garcia’s counsel to elicit and open the door to the similar extraneous offense and the numerous instances of “bad acts.” See Robertson v.

We reject PwC’s construction of the worksharing agreement for another reason: it would effectively rewrite the ADEA’s administrative prerequisites, making them traps for the unwary, poised to spring into action and deny those who may have suffered employment discrimination their right to seek redress in federal court. Indeed, the Supreme Court has announced “a guiding principle for construing the provisions of Title VII,” Zipes v. Trans World Airlines, Inc., 455 U.S. 385, 397, 102 S.Ct. 1127, 71 L.Ed.2d 234 (1982), which applies with equal force to the ADEA: a technical reading of the statute’s filing requirements is “particularly inappropriate in a statutory scheme in which laymen, unassisted by trained lawyers, initiate the process.” Love, 404 U.S. at 527, 92 S.Ct. 616 (); see also Oscar Mayer, 441 U.S. at 755, 99 ### Response: holding that a title vii claimant need not refile a charge after termination of state proceedings " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: for refund with the IRS for the amount of tax at issue.

Third, a plaintiff is required to provide the amount, date, and place of each payment to be refunded, as well as a copy of the refund claim, when filing a refund suit in the United States Court of Federal Claims. See RCFC 9(h)(6). Failure to plead that a timely refund claim has been filed, even in pro se actions, deprives the United States Court of Federal Claims of jurisdiction. See Wozniak v.

Lieberman failed to demonstrate any such defamatory meaning, and the allegedly inaccurate statement as to the amount of the bill thus cannot sustain a slander claim. Lieberman’s other two examples of “explicit” factual assertions made by Fieger are equally unavailing because they constitute protected opinion. Fieger’s statement that the criminal court “laughed at her and gave her zero” merely offers a hyperbolic and colorful description of the actual outcome: the court denied the request for expert witness fees. See Ferlauto v. Hamsher, 74 Cal.App.4th 1394, 1403, 88 Cal.Rptr.2d 843 (1999) ().

However, this fact is not dispositive of the issues presented here. The question of whether a corporation is performing sufficient secondary or derivative government functions to be shielded from state taxation under M’Culloch v.

D. Analysis Cantu’s defense included informing the jury that Jackie had, during past arguments, taken a gun and placed it to her head. The State attempted to rebut that defensive theory by showing that the previous fights were over Cantu’s drug use and this incident was different because the drug test taken after Jackie’s death showed Cantu was not on drugs. The State’s evidence of Cantu’s previous drug use generally would be inadmissible under Rule 404(b), but because the State used it to rebut Cantu’s defensive theory, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in finding the evidence admissible.

There is a serious problem with Gotti’s interpretation of PJI 2.78. Acts as to which the jury cannot reach a unanimous verdict must be disregarded in deciding two things — whether defendant is or is not guilty of racketeering. The drafters of PJI 2.78 were therefore not foreclosing a hung jury when they used the word “disregard.” Rather, the word choice is intended to ensure jury compliance with the unanimity rule required by Richardson that has since been engrafted onto substantive RICO violations.

We reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand the cause for a new trial without addressing the merits of Robuck’s complaints. In its brief, the State notes that a division in authority exists among the courts of appeal regarding whether nonjurisdictional defects, such as the denial of a motion to suppress, are waived by application of the Helms rule in misdemeanor cases where the defendant enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere without a plea bargain. Compare Lynch v. State, 903 S.W.2d 115 (Tex.App.— Fort Worth 1995, no pet.)(applying Helms rule), and Studer v.

As noted, there is no identifiable third party in this case. The transfers are thus properly viewed as either benefiting the Fund or benefiting Bear Stearns. In either case, reliance by Bear Stearns on the mere conduit concept is unavailing. More importantly, once the funds were deposited, and as long as short positions were open, Bear Stearns did not have to respond to directions from the Fund. Indeed, so long as there were open short positions, Bear Stearns was not required to return the money to the Fund and was also able to initiate affirmative measures with respect to the funds. Thus, Bear Stearns’s position is simply not parallel to the traditional bank cases. See Malloy v.

We conclude a genuine issue of material fact exists with respect to an explicit warranty of future performance. The existence of such a warranty, however, would not automatically make Marvin’s claim timely. Assuming that a future warranty is present, Marvin’s breach of warranty claim accrued when Marvin learned or should have learned of the breach, see Minn.Stat. § 336.2-725(2), and expires four years thence, see id. § 336.2-725(1). “[T]he statute of limitations begins to run ‘when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the defendant’s refusal or inability to maintain the goods as warranted’ ” WatPro, 491 N.W.2d at 6 (quoting Smith v.

In such instances, “the parents have a ‘prima facie right to custody,’ which will be forfeited only if ‘convincing reasons’ appear that the child’s best interest will be served by an award to the third party.

United States, 935 A.2d 275, 284 (D.C.2007))). The lack of a limiting instruction also compounded the effect of the prosecutor’s comment. Specifically, the court failed to instruct the jurors that CW’s death should not be considered as evidence of Nofoa’s guilt in the terroristic threatening and kidnapping ease. Cf. State v.

The City could not have relied on ordinance number 13191 in 1994 to lawfully deny Whiteco’s applications. Existing precedent established that municipal ordinances banning all outdoor advertising signs were preempted by the Missouri Billboard Act. See Nat’l Advert. Co. v. Missouri State Highway & Transp.

In Miller v. Maxwell’s Intern. Inc., 991 F.2d 583 (1993), the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals held that there was no individual liability under the ADEA. The court explained that the statutory scheme of the ADEA itself indicates that Congress did not intend to impose individual liability on employees. The ADEA limits liability to employers with 20 or more employees, 29 U.S.C.A. § 630(b), in part because Congress did not want to burden small entities with the costs associated with litigating discrimination suits. Surely Congress would not wish to impose the same civil liability on individual employees that it decided to remove from small entities with limited resources. Id. at 587. See also Birkbeck v.

Dr. Ostrer, on the other hand, maintains that he could have proceeded with his BRCA-related clinical activities without taking a license from Myriad. This assertion is based on his belief that the patents Myriad claims cover such activities are invalid because genes are patent-ineligible products of nature. Acting on his belief, Ostrer seeks in this lawsuit a declaration of his right to undertake NfiCA-related clinical activities without a license. Accordingly, Myriad and Dr. Ostrer have taken adverse legal positions regarding whether or not Ostrer can engage in BRCA genetic testing without infringing any valid claim to “isolated” BRCA DNAs or methods of “analyzing” or “comparing” BRCA sequences, as recited in Myriad’s patents.

Nor did the District Court err in concluding that the officers had a reasonable suspicion to stop Davis. The officers observed odd behavior through the front window—an exchange, shocked expressions, and tossing motions. Davis and Blackshear rapidly left the car and began walking away, the latter failing to close the car door. And the activity took place in a high-crime area. The officers thus had a reasonable suspicion that a crime might be afoot. See Terry, 392 U.S. at 30, 88 S.Ct. 1868; Wardlow, 528 U.S. at 124, 120 S.Ct. 673 (); see also United States v.

In the forty years since those decisions, Texas courts have consistently recognized and reaffirmed the existence of the fundamental-error doctrine. Because there is no statute defining the principle, we tend to agree with the commentator who noted that “[tjhere is no single satisfactory definition of the phrase, nor can one easily analyze the cases for prognostic purposes.” Kronzer, supra, § 9.2, at 205. In reviewing our caselaw, however, we are able to distill two types of error that our courts have consistently recognized are subject to fundamental-error review. First, and most commonly, we apply fundamental-error review when a jurisdictional defect exists in the case. See, e.g., Texas Ass’n of Bus. v.

We agree as well. Unlike civil litigants, who have an appeal as of right from any final judgment, parties in criminal cases do not always have an appeal as of right under the Rules o 4 WL 50788, *3 (Tenn.Crim.App. Jan.12, 2004) ().

A two-level upward adjustment for Ortiz’s role in the offense, therefore, is not warranted. 2. “Safety Valve” Adjustment Ortiz argues that because he is not a manager or supervisor, he qualifies for a two-level decrease in his offense level. In order to receive this downward adjustment, a defendant must have a pre-adjustment offense level of at least 26 and meet the “safety valve” criteria set forth in U.S.S.G. § 5C1.2. See U.S.S.G. § 2Dl.l(b)(6). However, section 5C1.2 only applies to certain enumerated drug offenses: it does not apply to one of the offenses to which Ortiz pled guilty, distribution of a controlled substance within 1000 feet of a school in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 860.

Staton, 58 Wn.2d 879, 883, 365 P.2d ### Response: holding a business owes a duty to protect invitees from reasonably foreseeable harm by third persons " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: this case, however, Pigs Gun Club was not a class action. That distinction is significant because interpreting the notice of claim provision to require identification of every potential plaintiff in a class action lawsuit would nullify our class action rule, which provides that “[o]ne or more members of a class may sue or be sued as representative parties on behalf of all.” Utah R. Civ. P. 23(a) (emphasis added). Nothing in the Immunity Act suggests that the State declined to waive immunity from class action lawsuits. Accordingly, we hold that a claim providing notice of a possible class action lawsuit satisfies the requirements of the Immunity Act if it is filed by a class representative on behalf of potential class members. Cf. Moreno v. Bd. of Educ., 926 P.2d 886, 892 (Utah 1996) (). The notice of claim in this ease met that ### Response: holding that the notice of claim filed by a guardian in a wrongful death action even though erroneously filed on the guardians own behalf was sufficient to preserve the parents claim because the guardian was legally authorized to file a claim on behalf of the parent " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: explained, this ease has never been framed to solidify a foundation to support such necessary, broad-scale assessment. We do observe that there is a weakness in PHS and its amici’s particular emphasis on the DOC’s responsibility to provide a safe work environment, since it seems apparent that the Department may rely upon the prison medical companies with which its contracts as an integral component of the agency’s institutional safety planning. The argument for imposition of a duty carries more force relative to the contractual obligations of the prison healthcare company itself, rather than the independent obligations of its individual staff members arising out of physician-patient relationships. Cf. Guy, 501 Pa. at 58-63, 459 A.2d at 750-53 (opinion of the Court, in relevant part) (). See generally Brief for Amicus Pa. Med.

On the other hand, a confirmation order incorporates the terms of a chapter 11 plan, orders the performance of the critical promises the debtor made vis a vis its financial reorganization, fixes the rights and obligations of the debtor to each class of creditors, and articulates the essential agreements governing the relationship between the parties in interest and the reorganized debtor. It is generally regarded as the final court determination in a chapter 11 case. See 11 U.S.C. § 1141; In re Layo, 460 F.3d 289, 293-94 (2d Cir.2006) (); In re American Preferred Prescription, Inc., ### Response: holding that a bankruptcy courts order confirming a plan of reorganization constitutes a final judgment with res judicata effect binding the parties by its terms " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of fact. However, aside from there being no questions of fact concerning this issue, the 5th Circuit has established that when a trial court’s power to hear a case is questioned with regard to subject matter jurisdiction, it is proper for the trial court to weigh the evidence to determine its power to hear the case. MDPhysicians, 957 F.2d at 180. III. Conclusion ERISA does not govern this case. A self-employed physician, licensed to practice in Texas, is not an employee of the TMA or any of the insurance agencies. The TMA is not Dr. Path’s employer, but rather a “professional association which was established by and for the benefit .of physicians who are licensed to practice” in the state of Texas. See McCaslin v. Blue Cross and Blue Shield, 779 F.Supp. 1312, 1316-1317 (N.D.Ala.1991) ().

The first method establishes that the employee is medically incapable of working, while the second and third methods focus on the vocational component of disability. Under those two methods, an employee is deemed totally disabled because even though the employee may be medically capable of performing work, employers nonetheless will not hire the employee. See White, 167 N.C. App. at 673, 606 S.E.2d at 399-400 (affirming award of total disability for closed period based on the Commission’s finding that the plaintiff, during that period, made unsuccessful efforts to find suitable work); Bridwell, 149 N.C. App. at 343-44, 561 S.E.2d at 302 (). I can find no basis upon which to distinguish ### Response: holding that even though the medical evidence did not support the commissions findings that the plaintiff was restricted from any and all employment the award of total disability should be affirmed based on findings that the plaintiff had unsuccessfully sought suitable employment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to issue Sole-Source Solicitation No. F45613-03-Q-A068 and Contract No. FA4620-04-D-A003 to Waste Management — Washington. Based on this record, there is no question that Blue Dot was prejudiced by the Air Force’s decision and that it has standing to bring this action. See Impresa, 238 F.3d at 1334. C. Relevant Standards Of Review. 1. In Bid Protest Cases. Bid protest actions are reviewed under the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. § 701 et seq.

On this basis, the court concluded that § 3323(e) does not bar conviction of two counts of BWI/Fatal. ¶ 55. We need not resolve whether the court’s interpretation of the Legislature’s intent in enacting § 3323(e) is correct because multiple convictions are prohibited for a violation of § 3323(a), even without reliance on § 3323(e), in accordance with our holding in State v. LaBounty, 2005 VT 124, ¶ 10, 179 Vt. 199, 892 A.2d 203 ().

Commerce found the data insufficient to provide a basis for the claimed adjustments because Böwe did not submit data for its own sales to distributors in the home market. To require Böwe to submit data for sales to distributors in the home market, however, is to preclude Böwe from ever obtaining a level of trade adjustment because it does not sell to any distributors in the home market. Consequently, such a requirement renders Böwe powerless to produce evidence to satisfy the burden of proof that Commerce has laid down for these adjustments in this case. This requirement is not in the regulation; nor does Commerce provide a reasoned basis for it. See NEC Home Elecs. v. United States, 54 F.3d 736, 745 (Fed.Cir.1995) (); American Permac, Inc. v.

See id. at 117, 104 S.Ct. at 2969. While the parties have not cited any opinion addressing the particular bylaw at issue here, and we have found none, other courts have held that the NCAA’s “no-draft” and “no-agent” rules, which disqualify a-student-athlete from further intercollegiate competition if the student-athlete enters a professional draft or contacts an agent, are reasonable because they are procompetitive. See McCormack, 845 F.2d at 1343; Banks v. National Collegiate Athletic Ass’n, 977 F.2d 1081, 1087-94 (7th Cir.1992) (); Gaines, 746 F.Supp. at 746; Jones, 392 ### Response: holding that ncaas nodraft and noagent rules do not have an anticompetitive impact on a discernable market " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Alleged Negligence Regarding Chock Straps and Lighting Plaintiff also contends that his workplace was unsafe because (a) the Nissan vehicle that allegedly injured him was “over-restrained,” such that it inched forward when plaintiff removed the chock straps securing it, Appellant’s Br. at 28, and (b) it was too dark for him to see the license plate holder. The district court noted that these claims “need not be considered” because plaintiff raised them for the first time in opposition to summary judgment. Hr’g Tr. at 16. We agree with the district court. See Greenidge v. Allstate Ins.

Here, Policyholders have not shown that Westchester made any material representation regarding the coverage of the policy. In the absence of an express request for a certain type of coverage, the mere issuance of an insurance policy does not constitute a representation that the policy covers everything the insured expects. Although the Supreme Court of Illinois has recognized that an insurer may make a tacit representation regarding the scope of coverage when it sells a policy that lacks any value whatsoever, see Glazewski, 91 Ill.Dec. 628, 483 N.E.2d at 1266, it has refused to extend this rule to cases where the policy does in fact have some value. See Charles Hester Enterprises, Inc. v. Ill. Founders Ins. Co., 114 Ill.2d 278, 102 Ill.Dec. 306, 499 N.E.2d 1319, 1325 (1986) (); see also Friesz ex rel. Friesz v.

Baratta now seeks review of this amended judgment for attorney’s fees and costs. In Rowe, the supreme court adopted the federal lodestar .approach for determining a reasonable attorney’s fee under a prevailing party attorney’s fee statute or contractual provision. Rowe, 472 So.2d at 1146; Freedom Sav. & Loan Ass’n v. Biltmore Constr. Co., 510 So.2d 1141, 1142 (Fla. 2d DCA 1987) ().

TEX. R. EVID. 701. Under Rule 701, a witness, even a lay witness, may make reasonable inferences from the evidence. Detective Reynolds, as a lay witness, was entitled reasonably to infer how the crime occurred based on those facts he knew. See Osbourn v. State, 92 S.W.3d 531, 535 (Tex.Crim.App.2002) (stating that a witness’s testimony can include opinions, beliefs, or inferences as long as they are drawn from his or her own experiences or observations); Ventroy v.

Commonwealth v. Judge, 591 Pa. 126, 916 A.2d 511, 520 (2007). Such narrow construction would be inconsistent with the legislative intent to channel post-conviction claims into the PCRA’s framework, id., and would instead create a bifurcated system of post-conviction review where some post-conviction claims are cognizable under the PCRA while others are not. Commonwealth v. Lantzy, 558 Pa. 214, 736 A.2d 564, 569-70 (1999). Instead, this Court has broadly interpreted the PCRA eligibility requirements as including within its ambit claims such as this one, regardless of the “truth-determining process” language that Appellee invokes from Section 9543(a) (2) (i). See Commonwealth v. Liebel, 573 Pa. 375, 825 A.2d 630 (2003) (); Commonwealth ex. rel. Dadario v.

This proposition, however, is unsound. First, Piatt’s holding is the far narrower proposition that alleging challenged conduct to be a “matter of consistent policy” is sufficient to withstand attack on Parratt grounds. 773 F.2d at 1034. As alleged, the conduct in Piatt was authorized by state policy, 773 F.2d at 1034; therefore, Parratt does not apply to the conduct, whether deliberate or not. The language quoted by the majority is thus clearly dicta. Even more importantly, the dicta in Piatt is directly contrary to the Supreme Court’s holding in Hudson, 468 U.S. at 533, 104 S.Ct. at 3203 (). We should follow the Supreme Court. 2.

The government refused on the ground that the report was not a “statement” within the meaning of the Act. Without conducting an in camera review of the document, the district court declined to require its production, finding, “[A]ll I can do is go by the law, and I just don’t think this is a Jencks Act statement.” We review the district court’s finding for clear error.

The District “does not object to a remand.” Def.’s Mem. at 3; see id. at 9; see also Pl.’s Reply at 1 (noting the “District’s acquiescence to Ms. Lopez’s proposed remand”). The parties thus agree that remand is appropriate in this case. The D.C.

We think the drafters of the rule would not have imposed such a drastic limitation on the important right of parties to call witnesses of their own choosing without explicit language or comment. Certainly in adopting the rule this court did not so intend. Additionally, it should be kept in mind that the judge’s order restricted the defendants’ right of cross-examination, a right which has long been recognized in both civil and criminal cases. See Alford v. United States, 282 U.S. 687, 691-692 (1931); The Ottawa, 70 U.S. (3 Wall.) 268, 271 (1865). See also Fuller v.

Absent such an indication, this court will not intervene to rewrite the contract. Despite the opinion of the Washington Supreme Court in Kent, this court is satisfied that diesel fuel, regardless of the way it is “discharged,” “dispersed,” or “released,” is within the definition of pollutants in the insurance policy at issue. As to defendants’ argument that the policy provision “is intended to protect against outside pollutants and waste cleanup, not the effects of a pest control cleanup,” this court is satisfied that the unambiguous language of the policy excludes all pollutants and does not exclude pollutants based on their source or location.

Unfortunately, the Appellants’ attempt to establish that their decision to terminate Wright did not violate a clearly established right wholly misunderstands the limited nature of our interlocutory review. The Appellants contend that their decision to terminate Wright was based on HUD’s audit report, which suggested, at best, that he was a poor manager, and, at worst, that he was guilty of potentially criminal conflicts of interest. They further contend that their reliance on the report, whether or not mistaken, was not unreasonable under the circumstances.

The court was unable to locate any Indiana or Seventh Circuit case law dealing with the definition of “product” as that term is used in CGL insurance policies, and, in fact, neither party in this case cites any case that specifically defines the term. The Ninth Circuit offers some assistance in the case of Hydro Systems, Inc. v. Continental Ins. Co., 929 F.2d 472 (9th Cir.1991), wherein the court wrote: Several courts have examined the meaning of the term “product” as it relates to product hazard exceptions. The majority of courts “define ‘products’ as goods or services which the insured deals in as his stock or trade.” CPS Chem. Co. Inc. v. Continental Ins.

We disagree. Evidence in the record must support a finding that Anagnos's failure to use a turn signal affected other traffic. See City of Milwaukee v. Johnston, 21 Wis. 2d 411, 413, 124 N.W.2d 690 (1963). Given that the deputy was in the far right-hand turn lane, we cannot see how he was affected by Anagnos's failure to use a turn signal in the left lane. Furthermore, there is nothing in the record to indicate that there were any other vehicles on the highway that could have been affected by Anagnos's left turn. We affirm the circuit court's decision that Anagnos did not violate § 346.34(l)(b), and therefore hold that the deputy did not have probable cause to stop Anagnos for a traffic violation.

Ogman offers no authority, however, and we are aware of none, that would permit a district court in these circumstances to not consider all offenses to which a defendant pleads guilty when calculating a sentence. Ogman voluntarily pled guilty to both crimes with which he was legitimately charged. Thus, the district court reasonably considered both convictions in calculating his sentence. See United States v. Stanley, 928 F.2d 575, 582 (2d Cir.1991) (“[T]he fact that a charge was used in plea bargaining does not mean that the penalty mandated by statute does not apply.”); see also Bordenkircher v.

While the record in this case indicates that officials at the Brunswick facility are adequately accommodating both smokers and nonsmokers, the physical plants of other prisons may not permit such an accommodation. In such circumstances, a total ban on smoking may be appropriate. See Doughty v. Bd. of County Comm'rs, 731 F.Supp. 423 (D.Colo.1989) (); Elliott v.

Because the amount the Strelskis were required to forfeit — a total of $140,630 — is well below the $1,000,000 statutory maximum, there is a strong presumption that the forfeiture is constitutional. 817 N.E. 29th Drive, Wilton Manors, Fla., 175 F.3d at 1309. The maximum fine authorized for the Strelskis under the sentencing guidelines is $50,000 each, resulting in a combined total fine of $100,000. Although the forfeiture amount exceeds the maximum fine under the guidelines, it is still “near the permissible range of fines under the sentencing guidelines,” which means that it is almost certainly not excessive.

If the validity of the underlying conviction or sentence cannot be at issue in a Rule 35(b) proceeding, it makes no sense to say that a Rule 35(b) reduction constitutes a genuine “resentencing” that gives rise to a new “judgment” that imprisons the § 2255 movant.

Sherbondy, 865 F.2d 996, 1009 (9th Cir.1988). That holding has been followed by other circuits which have determined that kidnapping is a “crime of violence” because it, by its very nature, involves a substantial risk of physical violence. See United States v. Kaplansky, 42 F.3d 320, 324-25 (6th Cir.1994) (); United States v.

We agree in part. The first issue raised in the petition alleged trial court error in the jury instruction. Because this issue could have been raised on appeal, the claim was not cognizable in a postconviction motion. See Waterfield v. State, 1 So.3d 235, 237 (Fla. 4th DCA 2008). The second issue, however, alleged a discrepancy between the written sentence and the sentence that was orally imposed. In particular, Barrett alleged that the court never orally imposed a habitual felony offender (HFO) designation. Because this type of discrepancy can be challenged in a Rule 3.800(a) motion, we i’everse and remand with direction to treat the claim as such. See State v. Akins, 69 So.3d 261, 268 (Fla.2011) ().

Humiliation experienced by Reno as a result of Moorer’s derogatory comments does not constitute an ultimate employment decision. See Spring v. Sheboygan Area Sch.

First, we consider the prosecution’s comment on the weight of the evidence to be less damaging than other forms of impermissible argument. Typically, in vouching situations, the prosecution has attempted to bolster a witness’s credibility by introducing facts that were not in evidence.

One-Hour Delay in Release Mr. Reed also suggests he has claims pursuant to § 1983 and the New Mexico Tort Claims Act because, after Judge Murdoch ordered his release, a BCDC employee detained him one hour longer than the other prisoners for being a “sniffler.” As a preliminary matter, we note that none of the BCDC Appellees was involved in the delay. Consequently, Mr. Reed has no § 1983 claims against the BCDC Appellees, regardless of the lawfulness of the detention. See Foote v. Spiegel, 118 F.3d 1416, 1423 (10th Cir.1997) ().

Upon reviewing these cases and subsequent ones, we find that Missouri courts have become accustomed to using the terms “void” and “irregular” seemingly interchangeably (Shanks and Butler), or at the very least have failed to draw a meaningful distinction between the two terms in situations similar to the facts of the present case.

Throughout its arguments on nonobviousness, Western Union places significant emphasis on the fact that both parties evaluated the Orlandi Valuta system that existed at the time of the invention and decided to develop their own new and improved systems. We agree with MoneyGram that the district court erred in its analysis of secondary considerations of obviousness and in its heavy reliance on them in denying MoneyGram’s JMOL of obviousness. We find the evidence of secondary considerations irrelevant in supporting the jury verdict of nonobviousness.

Mr. Camp argues that the ALJ improperly determined that his mental impairments were not severe, despite evidence to the contrary. Our review of the administrative record raised one concern: Mr. Camp’s Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) score of 50. A GAF score of 41-50 indicates “[sjerious symptoms ... OR any serious impairment in social, occupational, or school functioning.” American Psychiatric Assoc., Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 32 (4th ed.2000). But the mental health evaluator did not indicate that Mr. Camp’s GAF score impaired his ability to work. The score, without evidence that it impaired Mr. Camp’s ability to work, does not establish an impairment. Cf Howard v. Comm’r of Soc. Sec., 276 F.3d 235, 241 (6th Cir.2002) ().

In Key Sav. Bank, F.S.B. v. Dean, 695 So.2d 808, 810 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997), we held that “increases in interest rates are not considered ‘new transactions’ when a creditor gives prior disclosure that rates are subject to change, the conditions of the changes, and the limits of any possible change.” We further stated that “If [the lender] properly disclosed the variable-rate information, then each rate change would be just a subsequent occurrence.” Id. at 810; accord Hubbard v.

Petitioner was indeed drunk on the night the crimes were committed, but “[generally, voluntary drunkenness is no defense to a criminal charge....

It immediately invited defense counsel to speak about whether there should be a revocation, and there is no error in the court deciding that LeBoeuf s violations and conduct as testified by Hernandez warranted revocation and imprisonment as opposed to a continuance on release. Furthermore, the district court’s other remarks during the hearing show that its various references to “punishment” did not invoke § 3553(a)(2)(A). The court explained that the 24-month sentence it imposed “adequately addresses the factors the Court should consider,” and also that those factors were not reflected in the advisory guideline range.

Likewise, in Hauck this Court refused to find fraudulent joinder on the basis of evidence equally dispositive of the liability of a diverse principal and its non-diverse agent, given that “any resolution of [the agent’s] liability necessarily operates to discharge the liability of [the principal] as well because ... the liability of [the principal] in this case is, at least in part, derivative of that of its agent.” 2006 WL 1 . 4:03CV0034-P-B, 2004 WL 555250, at *2 (N.D.Miss.

Caughman v. Glaze, 412 S.W.2d 357, 362 (Tex.Civ.App. — San Antonio 1967, writ refd n.r.e.). On a number of occasions, Texas courts have held that violations of particular sections found in article 6701d did not constitute negligence per se. These courts have held that, because a breach of these particular sections was conditioned upon proof that the defendant failed to act “safely,” “with safety,” or “prudently,” these sections imposed upon the complainant the burden of proving that his opponent acted reasonably.

Karras contends that Hoy could only recover fees due through a separate action in quantum meruit. We disagree. First, quantum meruit is not the only remedy available to Hoy. Quantum meruit is “an equitable doctrine, based on the concept that no one who benefits by the labor and materials of another should be unjustly enriched thereby; under those circumstances, the law implies a promise to pay a reasonable amount for the labor and materials furnished, even absent a specific contract therefor.” Black’s Law Dictionary 1243 (6th ed.1990).

Defense counsel attempted to question potential jurors as to whether “a girl could come to court and lie?” and whether “a girl can come to court and lie about being raped?” and about a “rape charge.” The court prohibited references to “a girl” and “rape charge” because they seem to refer to the facts of the case. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by placing these reasonable limitations on voir dire. Counsel’s ability to determine the fairness of jurors was not restricted by this limitation. Any error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Blevins v.

In his appeal brief Gipson relies on the Ohio Court of Appeals decision in Ricks’s trial, which found that Ricks arrived between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m., see State v. Ricks, 196 Ohio App.3d 798, 965 N.E.2d 1018, 1021 (2011), rev’d 136 Ohio St.3d 356, 995 N.E.2d 1181 (2013). But this evidence was not before the Ohio Court of Appeals in this case, and therefore may not be considered in evaluating the reasonableness of its decision.

The October 2009 denial of promotion occurred more than six months after Nicholson engaged in protected activity, and the changes to Nicholson’s performance evaluation in September 2010 occurred 18 months after the protected activity. A time period greater than six months, without more, is not a sufficiently short period of time to satisfy the causal connection element of a retaliation claim. See Cooper, 795 F.2d at 1272; see also Clay v. United Parcel Service, Inc., 501 F.3d 695, 718 (6th Cir.2007) (finding no causal connection where gap between protected activity and adverse employment action was six months); Cecil v.

B. The law recognizes three general circumstances that give rise to a claim that the State violated a criminal defendant’s right to due process by failing to “provide evidence to the defense which is within, or potentially within, [the State’s] purview.” State v. Steffes, 500 N.W.2d 608, 612 (N.D.1993). The first circumstance arises when the State violates the defendant’s due process rights by collecting and preserving evidence from the crime scene only to withhold the evidence “when the defendant requests it, or when it otherwise becomes material to the defense.” Id. (citing Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 1196-97, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963 ate v. Wells, 103 Idaho 137, 645 P.2d 371, 373 (Ct.App.1982) (); State v.

Klaas daims that 18 U.S.C. § 3771, which provides crime victims with certain rights, gives him a “significantly protectable” interest. We agree with the district court that it does not. Section 3771 gives crime victims rights in certain cases involving individual criminal defendants and prisoners and prescribes certain remedies. This case does not involve an individual defendant or prisoner, and intervention is not among the remedies listed in the statute. See 18 U.S.C. § 3771(b), (d); cf. Brandt v. Gooding, 636 F.3d 124, 136 (4th Cir.2011) ().

Such decisions are not, of course, wholly immune from review. The Secretary’s discretion, like that of a prosecutor, remains “subject to constitutional constraints,” including those “imposed by the equal protection component of the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment.” Armstrong, 517 U.S. at 464, 116 S.Ct. 1480. Moreover, the Commission retains authority to adjudicate — subject to the appropriate standard of review — whether safety violations have in fact occurred. See 30 U.S.C. §§ 815(d), 823(d). In this case, however, Twentymile has stipulated that the conditions cited by the Secretary constitute violations of safety standards. See ALJ Decision, 25 F.M.S.H.R.C. at 353.

Although the prosecution was careful to preface every question with “based upon your training and experience,” it seems that “experience” sometimes meant experience with this particular ease, not general experience as a task force agent. For example, when asked on cross-examination (during his expert testimony) how he came to the conclusion that “one” meant “one ounce of cocaine,” Clark attributed this interpretation to his experience “from what [he] gathered through the investigation” as lead case agent. App. Dkt. 70-3, 127. It was error to allow this transitioning back and forth between expert and fact testimony. See York, 572 F.3d at 426 (); United States v.

Appellants contend that SCI is a separate legal entity from SCI Texas and that the relationship between the companies does not make SCI automatically liable for the actions of SCI Texas.

The First Circuit in Marrama found that “at any time” meant “simply [] that the debtor may seek to convert at any time during the pendency of the bankruptcy case ” and that the statute does not prevent a court from refusing to convert based on the debtor’s own “willful misconduct, such as an intentional abuse of the bankruptcy process.” 430 F.3d at 479 (emphasis added).

Cf. 16 U.S.C. § 1853(a)(15) (2012) (requiring that the Secretary “establish a mechanism for specifying [overall] annual catch limits”).

However, section 2679(d)(2) goes further than section 2679(d)(1) by stating, “This certification of the Attorney General shall conclusively establish scope of office or employment for purposes of removal.” Whether a federal employee is ultimately immune from suit, therefore, depends entirely upon whether the employee was acting within the scope of his employment when the events which underlie the lawsuit occurred. Previously in the Fourth Circuit this determination was left solely in the hands of the Attorney General. See Johnson v. Carter, 983 F.2d 1316, 1320 (4th Cir.)

The eourt confesses that it did not read the entire 294 pages of the examination to ascertain whether it could perhaps find the quoted language or any passage remotely similar to it because “judges are not like pigs, hunting for truffles buried in briefs” or, in this case, in a voluminous evidentiary record.

This procedure was no different from that which a legislature would follow in like circumstances. In sum, the issuance of the March 26 order was both substantively and procedurally legislative, and accordingly the dis trict court did not err in applying legislative immunity to Justices Zappala, Cappy, and Nigro with respect to claims arising from Gallas’ termination as Executive Administrator. Having reached this conclusion, we must afford quasi-legislative immunity to Sobolevitch, whose role in the reorganization derived from the Supreme Court’s order.

Transamerica Financial Services (In re Matthews), 724 F.2d 798 (9th Cir.1984) (per curiam). The Matthews purchased a piano and a stereo with money borrowed from Transamerica Financial Services (Transamerica). The collateral listed as securing the loan included the piano, the stereo, and other household goods and other personal property of the Matthews. Subsequently, Transamerica refinanced the loan for a longer term at a lower monthly payment and issued a new loan. The Matthews used the new loan to pay off the old and, additionally, received $63.14 in cash and paid insurance charges of $279.23. The Matthews filed a petition for bankruptcy in November 1980.

The scheduling order Ray relies on did not satisfy the requirements under the rule. Other than containing the date the petition was filed, there was no indication in the scheduling order alerting the judge that the case was subject to imminent dismissal. Simply agreeing on a trial date without including “grounds for continuance” circumvents the requirements under rule 215.1. Ray had the burden of keeping her case alive and avoiding an automatic dismissal under rule 215.1. See Greif v. K-Mart Corp., 404 N.W.2d 151, 154 (Iowa 1987). Accordingly, the stipulation as to a trial date does not save her case from automatic dismissal under rule 215.1. Compare Butner v. Beyer, 593 N.W.2d 133, 135 (Iowa 1999) ().

(A96) (emphasis added). Reviewing this sentence in the context of the arguments made in Petitioner’s Opening Brief, the Court likewise concludes that it is insufficient to put the state supreme court on notice that Petitioner was raising a federal constitutional claim. As the Court noted, Petitioner did not analyze his claim in constitutional terms and his reference to Old Chief as not binding on the state courts undermines Petitioner’s argument that he raised a federal constitutional claim. See e.g. Bright v. Snyder, 218 F.Supp.2d 573, 578-579 (D.Del.2002) ().

(See id. 11:16-12:2, 12:13-27.) i. ECMC’s Prior Awareness Defense The Court will first consider the effect of ECMC’s proposed “prior awareness” defense. As ECMC correctly notes, the existence of prior awareness of its recording practice or consent thereto could raise the possibility of individual differences among class members. See, e.g., Right v. CashCall, Inc. (“CashCall II""), 231 Cal.App.4th 112, 132, 179 Cal.Rptr.3d 439 (2014) ().

Debtor testified that when the Mahans signed the Release, they were aware of the escrow of the assignment of Claim 7 and of the note and other Loan documents.

Witt’s motion was submitted a year after the action was initially filed and lacked any supporting explanation for why leave should have been granted. Her thread bare request failed to state why justice required the opportunity to submit a fourth version of her complaint. As we see it, the district court did not clearly abuse its discretion by denying leave to amend. Moreover, Witt’s proposed amendment was futile. See Hubbard v.

At trial, defense counsel filed a motion for new trial and a motion to voir dire Julian.

As the postconviction court stated, “The underlying substance of this claim is clearly Mr. Julian’s potential bias, an issue which could have been raised on direct appeal because it was thoroughly addressed at the conclusion of the trial.” On this basis, the court rejected the claim as procedurally barred, finding that it could have been raised on direct appeal.

Thus, a defendant must at the very least know he is being deceptive while sending multiple commercial emails. Under Mor-issette, and its progeny, this satisfies the “evil-meaning mind” requirement.

This Court, in Carter v. State, Dept, of Health & Welfare, 103 Idaho 701, 652 P.2d 649 (1982), reaffirmed this holding by stating: In V-1 Oil Company v. County of Bannock, we held that the proper method of contesting an agency or judicial decision is by appeal, and that an order or judgment may not later be collaterally attacked by means of a declaratory judgment action. The appellants’ collateral attack upon their orders of commitment by means of a declaratory judgment action is thus clearly impermissible. Id at 702, 652 P.2d at 650 (citation omitted); see also Conley v. Looney, 117 Idaho 627, 630, 790 P.2d 920, 923 (Ct.App.1990) (citing Bills v.

CONCLUSION We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it refused to instruct the jury on Appellant’s theory of temporary innocent possession of a firearm. Further, the district judge’s conduct in this case does not warrant a new trial. Accordingly, we affirm Palma’s conviction and sentence. AFFIRMED. 1 . Almonte testified at trial that she stood away from Palma and German during the transaction and rejoined them when they left the store. 2 . German paid for the grips, upon Palma’s request. 3 . In the past, we have declined to entertain the theory of a ""mere inspection” defense. See United States v. Beverly, 194 Fed.Appx. 624, 628 (11th Cir.2006) (unpublished) ().

Clary, 34 F.3d 709, 712 (8th Cir.1994) (emphasis added) (citation omitted). Even assuming — without in any way deciding — that the law disproportionately impacts Native Americans, Parshall provides no meaningful evidence that Congress intended to discriminate against Native Americans when it passed 18 U.S.C. § 2241(c). He argues that Congress should have been aware of the law’s likely disproportionate impact on Native Americans, which suggests, according to Parshall, “at least a possibility” of discriminatory intent. Such assertions fall short of establishing the Congressional intent necessary to show a violation of the Fifth Amendment. See id.; United States v. DeMarce, 564 F.3d 989, 1000 (8th Cir.2009) (). C.

But I cannot believe that the legislature intended that a minor who is in possession of a stolen package of cigarettes from a convenience store or a woman who is driving a car one mile per hour over the speed limit is unable to defend himself or herself under the stand-your-ground doctrine when approached by an aggressor seeking to cause the unlawful actor great bodily harm completely unrelated to these prior (and continuing) transgressions. And I do not believe the text chosen by our legislature requires such an understanding. To the contrary, I believe the text permits the meaning I .assert. See, e.g., Beal v. State, 225 So.3d 1276, 1288 (Miss. Ct. App. 2016) (Barnes, J., dissenting); cf. City of Jackson v. Perry, 764 So.2d 373, 379 (Miss. 2000) ().

Fourth, the patent explicitly disclaims any relation between Figure 4b and the aspects of the invention dealing with the discharge of the primary switch’s parasitic capacitance. See col. 5, 11. 44-51 (“neglecting ... parasitic effects including the ones associated with ... the capacitance of non-ideal hardware realizations of the primary switch 10 ..., the operation of the magnetizing current mirror as a reset mechanism is illustrated by an example in 4b.”). It is therefore less plausible that the inventor would rely on this figure to define the invention’s switch-timing properties. Finally, Unitrode presses an argument based on claim differentiation for adopting a voltage-based definition for ON period. See Specialty Composites v. Cabot Corp., 845 F.2d 981, 987 (Fed.Cir.1988) ().* The doctrine of claim differentiation is a ### Response: holding the scope of a particular claim can often be determined on inspection of other claims " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: before magistrate or justice of peace “without any reference to the act for trial of small causes in this colony”). As the preceding statutes indicate, in colonial New Jersey, as in England, certain forfeiture and penalty proceedings to enforce police statutes and to punish minor criminal offenses, such as violations of the fish and game acts, proceeded before justices of the peace without juries. See Greely v. City of Passaic, 42 N.J.L. 429, 431 (E. & A. 1880) (noting that “[Pjarliament conferred upon the [justice of the peace] certain judicial functions, as a means of enforcing the game acts” by “a summary proceeding, technical in character, of a quasi-criminal nature, and totally unlike an action at law”); State v. Lakewood Mkt. Co., 84 N.J.L. 512, 523, 88 A. 194 (Sup.Ct.1913) (); Carter Bros. v. Camden Dist. Court, 49 N.J.L. ### Response: holding that penalty action instituted pursuant to fish and game procedure act of 1897 did not include jury trial because it has been repeatedly held in this state that in a summary procedure for the collection of a penalty for violation of a police regulation neither party is entitled to a trial by jury " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: by Congress to address a particular situation will at times have consequences that could not have been intended by its draftsmen; and such unintended consequences may engender ambiguity where none at first appears. In this case, the court is correct in stating that the language of section 622 clearly applies to a Secretary of Agriculture by virtue of his being an “officer ... of the United States authorized to perform ... duties described by this subchapter.” 21 U.S.C. § 622. Yet the section’s summary dismissal sanction, as applied to a cabinet officer, would appear to exceed Congress’s authority. It is in such circumstances that courts will invoke the doctrine of judicial severability. See, e.g., Robert Dollar Co. v. Canadian Car & Foundry Co., 220 N.Y. 270, 115 N.E. 711, 713 (1917) (). This is a judicial remedy with which the ### Response: holding that where a single section of a statute attempts or purports to cover two entirely distinct and separable classes of cases one properly and the other improperly the section may be upheld as to the class which constitutionally may be thus covered even though condemned as to the other " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of defense). It should be noted that even inadequate provocation coupled with an objectively unreasonable reaction may be relevant to a case, like this one, because the jury may find that it creates a reasonable doubt about the existence of the “malice” (under our new Code, the mental state of knowledge or purpose) required for murder, id. at 314-15, thus warranting a possible verdict on a lesser-included offense of murder. Murder eases will almost always turn on the mental state of the accused. Deciding that question is the jury’s function. 2 Wharton’s Criminal Law § 164, at 259 (C. Torcia 14th ed. 1979) (where there is dispute, jury should decide questions of adequate provocation); see also American Law Institute, Model Penal Code and Commentaries § 210.3, at 57-61 (perm. ed. 1980) ().

Mizell, 902 F.2d 611, 613 (1990). I agree with the magistrate judge that the statutory definitions of “sexual contact” and “sexual intercourse” are clear. That they are similar does not make them ambiguous. The definitions in Wis. Stat. § 948.01(5) explicitly describe, in graphic detail, the conduct required for each act. Furthermore, as I said above,- each act requires different elements. I believe that an ordinary person is able to understand the meanings of, and the differences between,' these definitions. See Server, 902 F.2d at 613-14 ().

The label for the package indicated that delivery had been promised by noon on September 5th. In other words, the Defendant did not have a right to possess it until noon. Judge Merz issued that warrant at 9:54 a.m., on that date. There is no indication that the package could not have been delivered from the Dayton Airport to Mail Boxes, Etc., in Centerville, in two hours, if Judge Merz had refused to grant the requested search warrant or if no contraband had been discovered therein. Consequently, one could question whether the detention of the package was a seizure under the Fourth Amendment. See United States v. England, 971 F.2d 419 (9th Cir.1992) ().

Kurtzman, 403 U.S. 602, 91 S.Ct. 2105, 29 L.Ed.2d 745 (1971): To pass muster under Lemon, the challenged practice must (1) reflect a clearly secular legislative purpose; (2) have a primary effect that neither advances nor inhibits religion; and (3) avoid excessive government entanglement with religion. Preliminarily, to prevail on its Establishment Clause claim, plaintiff must prove two key facts: (1) anthroposophy constitutes a “religion” for Establishment Clause purposes; and (2) if anthroposophy is a religion, that there is an anthroposophieal curriculum at the subject public Waldorf-method schools. See Alvarado, 94 F.3d at 1227 ().

Secondly, he points out that for the years 2001 through 2003 the majority of the reported income constituted “phantom,” or passive, non-cash income passed through from Herkly, his Subchapter S corporation.

See Alton D., 196 Ariz. 195, ¶¶ 2, 19, 994 P.2d at 403, 406-07. And, unlike the situation in Kevin A., in this ease the juvenile court never indicated that “ ‘restitution [would] be closed’ ” at a certain point in time. Kevin A., 201 Ariz. 161, ¶ 3, 32 P.3d at 1089; see also In re Richard B., 216 Ariz. 127, ¶ 17, 163 P.3d 1077, 1081 (App.2007). Nor did the victim fail to comply with any deadline or other order concerning restitution. Compare Alton D., 196 Ariz. 195, ¶ 19, 994 P.2d at 407 (), and Kevin A., 201 Ariz. 161, ¶¶ 4, 8, 32 P.3d ### Response: holding that when in light of the circumstances of a particular case the court sets a reasonable deadline by which victims must present their restitution claims and supporting evidence any victim who fails to comply is barred from recovery " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: two fundamental reasons. First, appellant’s reliance on the fact that she was convicted of murder under a theory of accomplice liability is misplaced in this context. As we implicitly held in Ramsey, in determining whether Wharton’s Rule applies to a substantive offense the conviction of which is based on accomplice liability, the focus must be on the underlying criminal act of the particular substantive offense rather than on the accomplice aspect of the offense. 2 Va.App. at 272, 343 S.E.2d at 470. The accompliceship itself is not the completed criminal act upon which the conviction is based but simply the means by which criminal responsibility for the completed criminal act is incurred under Code § 18.2-18. See Snyder v. Commonwealth, 202 Va. 1009, 1017, 121 S.E.2d 452, 458 (1961) (). Thus, the accomplice aspect of the ### Response: holding that before the accessory to a crime can be convicted as such it must be shown that the crime has been committed by the principal " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: § 20.2b, at 906 n. 21 (5th ed.2005). And, finally, the petitioner argues that the district court was required to grant her request for an evidentiary hearing under Townsend v. Sain, 372 U.S. 293, 312-13, 83 S.Ct. 745, 9 L.Ed.2d 770 (1963). As a matter of statutory law, we reject the Commonwealth’s importunings. Here, the petitioner adduced extensive evidence in the state court. The exact manner in which she elected to make the point is less important than the fact that she did make the point; her proffer went directly to the merits of the claims that she later sought to pursue in the federal court proceedings. We conclude, therefore, that the district court was not statutorily prohibited from taking evidence on those claims. See Bryan v. Mullin, 335 F.3d 1207, 1215 (10th Cir.2003) (); Matheney v.

C. The Administrative Proceedings FAG’s insurance policy declares that Liberty has a duty to defend “any suit against the insured seeking damages.” Liberty asserts that it does not, and never did, owe an obligation to FAG to defend against agency action in administrative proceedings because those proceedings are not “suits.” FAG disputes this assertion, claiming that the relevant Eighth Circuit opinion, Gen.

The defendant did not object to the magistrate judge’s conclusion that the plaintiff established the first two elements of his prima facie case. “[T]he failure to file specific objections to a magistrate’s report constitutes a waiver of those objections.” Cowherd v. Million, 380 F.3d 909, 912 (6th Cir.2004). Since the defendant did not challenge those conclusions, the Court need not address those items, since those arguments are waived, see Thomas v.

To the contrary, the record shows that the trial court did not fully inform Raphael’s attorney of the nature or content of the hearing. Based on the trial court’s abridged account to Raphael’s attorney of its contact with I.W., along with the lack of support for the theory that Gould knew the full extent of the constitutional errors and deliberately chose not to object, we cannot say that Raphael’s failure to object to the ex parte hearing and to I.W.’s testimony was tactical.

The Legislature cannot foresee what these objects might be. The Legislature may have intended section 16.01 to cover possession of these objects, which would otherwise go unpunished. Third, we are not convinced that the Legislature intended section 16.01 to be construed more broadly, in all respects, than the statute it replaced. Under the plain language of the former statute, it applied to objects “commonly used” to commit burglary or safecracking.

Before sentencing, Susel objected to the jury’s finding, which subjected him to an increase in his base offense level under U.S.S.G. § 2B1.1(b)(4), and asserted he should receive a three-level reduction for only partially completing his offense under U.S.S.G. § 2X1.1(b). The district court applied the § 2B1.1(b)(4) increase, denied the § 2X1.1(b) decrease, and sentenced Susel under the mandatory Sentencing Guidelines to fifty-one months in prison and three years of supervised release. A few days after sentencing, the Supreme Court decided United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220, 125 S.Ct. 738, 756-57, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005) ().

Subsection (a)’s vicarious liability language therefore cannot apply to Hospital based on a joint enterprise theory of vicarious liability. Second, also as set forth above, the instructions and definitions given to the jury in connection with the negligence question, question 2, submitted to the jury only the issue of LMS’s and Hospital’s direct liability. The jury did not make any other fact finding that would support the imposition of vicarious liability on LMS for Hospital’s breach of its direct duties to Chesser. See, e.g., St. Joseph Hosp., 94 S.W.3d at 537-38 (discussing various theories of vicarious liability); accord Obstetrical & Gynecological Assocs., P.A. v.

In fact, the correspondences to State Farm by Sanders and his parents show that they did not want State Farm to be involved in the matter relating to the Incident.

That concession, therefore, does not extend to the determination of plaintiffs’ wrongful birth claim. Plaintiffs contend that the PDR, which contained specific warnings that Provera could cause bilateral limb reduction, the retention of a defective ovum, and general genetic anomalies, constituted evidence of the standard of care governing the doctors’ duty of disclosure. In determining what constitutes a medically accepted risk when defining a doctor’s duty to warn, we have recognized that the PDR, standing alone, is not and should not be the touchstone of what risks a physician must reveal to his or her patient.

The district court found DSC’s risk of additional seizures and injunction actions “too speculative to warrant judicial intervention.” DSC claims the district court erred in failing to distinguish between the potential risks of tentative FDA policy statements and the very real liabilities imposed by a final, announced enforcement position and actual seizures. Again, DSC’s position assumes that the FDA has made a final determination as to the general status of CoQlO. In light of our rejection of DSC’s finality argument, we hold the district court correctly found that DSC failed to show sufficient hardship to require bypassing final agency 86 n. 18 (D.C.Cir.1985) (). 2 .

(App. at 2586.) If performance payments had “busted” the budget, then the jury could have concluded that PWDC had not eabined profit to 10% and had instead allowed contractors to keep all of their profits. But even if the District Court should have allowed the e-mail into evidence, the error was harmless. It is highly likely that the admission of the e-mail would not have altered the jury verdict.

There are several Alaska eases which conclude that trial judges did not abuse their discretion in refusing to give necessity defenses.

The Court is aware that such a finding would require the Court to engage in fact finding. However, the Court finds that even if an abuse of discretion standard applied, no reasonable fact-finder could conclude that Hinds is liable for the placement of the road construction signs. See Gonzalez v. Denning, 394 F.3d 388, 395 (5th Cir.2004)().

Under plain-error review, in the light of the lack of authority in this, or any other, circuit regarding whether the rebuttable presumption is limited only to cases whose facts involve actual minor victims (again, Emmons’ conduct involved undercover agents), the district court could not have plainly erred in applying the rebuttable presumption in favor of detention pursuant to § 3142(e).

This evidence was sufficient for a reasonable jury to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Chisolm conspired to distribute and possess with intent to distribute more than 50 grams of cocaine base between April 17, 2006, and June 3, 2008.

Where the State seeks to introduce drug addiction without first establishing a defendant’s identity as the culprit, his drug addiction has no relevance or probative value as to the motive of an otherwise unknown culprit. In other words, without a sufficient identification of the defendant as the intruder, the necessary chain of reasoning breaks and we need not reach the relationship between drug addiction and motive. In the absence of some identification of the defendant as the intruder, his heroin addiction, though introduced to show motive, would necessarily fill in the missing logical gaps that Rule 404(b) requires a prosecutor to fill. See Gould v. State, 579 P.2d 535, 539 (Alaska 1978) (introduction of heroin (Kan. 2008) (); Adkins v.

An employer may require exempt salaried employees to make up for time missed from work due to personal business. It is only when an employer actually deducts from an employee’s paycheck that the employee is ineligible for the exemption. See, e.g., Cowart v. Ingalls Shipbuilding, Inc., 213 F.3d 261, 265-66 (5th Cir.2000) (finding that employees who were required to make up personal time off and suffered no salary deductions for the lost time were paid on a salary basis); Haywood v.

Counsel could have rightly perceived that the court was not under a mandatory obligation to order father’s removal, and thus any objection to proceeding without him would have been futile. 2. Findmg of Intent to Abandon Under Section 7822 Father also contends the trial court erred because it could not terminate his parental rights without a finding of intent to abandon under section 7822. Father argues that, without this finding, there was no showing of parental unfitness as required by Adoption of Kelsey S. (1992) 1 Cal.4th 816, 849 [4 Cal.Rptr.2d 615, 823 P.2d 1216] (Kelsey S.) ().

Generett has given us no reason why the LeSabre or its contents plainly would exculpate him and indeed he has not even cited Brady v. Maryland in his brief to this court. Generett fares no better under the “potentially exculpatory evidence” test. Most importantly, he has given us no reason to believe that the government officials acted in bad faith by auctioning off the LeSabre in this case. The record reveals no evidence of a “calculated effort to circumvent [Brady’s] disclosure requirements” or “official animus” or a “conscious effort to suppress exculpatory evidence.” Trombetta, 467 U.S. at 488,104 S.Ct. 2528; Young-blood, 488 U.S. at 58; Jobson, 102 F.3d at 218 (); cf.

In affirming the trial court’s conviction, we held that the defendant’s actual participation [in the conspiracy] (answering telephone, taking drug orders and referring buyers to the independent contractors, delivering and selling drugs, as well as occasionally picking up drug shipments and preparing packages for sale) in [the] drug trafficking conspiracy went well beyond that of a simple buyer-seller relationship. The full activities of the drug conspiracy were not only reasonably foreseeable to [the defendant], but were also performed in furtherance of the jointly undertaken criminal activity and advanced an objective within the scope of the conspiracy that he joined. Id. at 1327. See also United States v. Magana, 118 F.3d 1173, 1206 (7th Cir.1997) ().

Nevertheless, although the Secretary notified Mrs. Reliford that she could waive the right to submit additional evidence, he did not notify her that she could waive substitution, in contravention of his policy. Thus, the Court holds that the Board erred by failing to follow the Secretary’s own established procedures. See Morton, supra. The Court is cognizant of its statutory duty to take due account of the rule of prejudicial error. See 38 U.S.C. § 7261(b)(2) (requiring the Court to “take due account of the rule of prejudicial error”); Shinseki v. 06 (2005) ().

In cases where the property to be forfeited is cash, monetary instruments in bearer form, funds deposited in an account in a financial institution, or other like fungible property, it shall not be necessary for the state to identify the specific property, other than as U.S. currency, cash, monetary instruments in bearer form, or as funds deposited in an account in a financial institution, involved in the of urrency and $20.00 in Canadian Currency, 103 F.3d 902, 905 (9th Cir.1996) ().

Putting him up in an apartment. And telling other people that that’s his son.” R.N. further testified that he was “not alleging” that Graves used Billy for “sexual reasons.” None of these statements constitutes evidence of an extraneous offense. Rather, each of the witnesses denied knowledge of any improper conduct with other boys. Accordingly, with respect to Graves’s relationships with other boys, the trial court did not err in failing to instruct the jury, sua sponte, that the State must prove extraneous offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. See Bluitt v. State, 137 S.W.3d 51, 54 (Tex.Crim.App.2004) ().

Based on the unambiguous language of the Texas Mental Health Code and article 46.03, we conclude that section 574.037 is a provision of the Texas Mental Health Code pertinent and applicable to a proceeding under article 46.03, section 4(d)(5). Section 574.037 is contained in a sub-chapter entitled, “PROCEEDINGS FOR COURT-ORDERED . MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.” See Tex. Health & Safety Code §§ 574.031-.037. Courts of appeals have determined that five of the seven sections in this subchapter apply to proceedings under article 46.03 regarding court-ordered mental health services.

A. The holding in Edwards v. Arizona makes clear the unreasonableness of the state court decision. As required by that case, Sessoms “expressed his desire” for the assistance of counsel, and was therefore “not subject to further interrogation by the authorities until counsel [had] been made available to him.” Edwards, 451 U.S. at 484-85, 101 S.Ct. 1880. “Invocation of the Miranda right to counsel ‘requires, at a minimum, some statement that can reasonably be construed to be an expression of a desire for the assistance of an attorney.’ ” Davis, 512 U.S. at 459, 114 S.Ct. 2350 (quoting McNeil v. Wisconsin, 501 U.S. 171, 178, 111 S.Ct. 2204, 115 L.Ed.2d 158 (1991)); see also Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 444-45, 86 S.Ct. 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694 (1966) ().

Whenever there is doubt as to whether the public has the right of access to certain records, the doubt must be resolved in favor of the public’s right to see.

GM II Having resolved the question of whether this court had jurisdiction to issue the original writ of mandamus, we turn to the relatively more straightforward question of whether we have jurisdiction to issue the writ for which petitioners now pray. We conclude that we do. Our jurisdiction is premised, as it was in GM I, on the All Writs Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1651(a). Under that act, the courts of appeals have the authority to, inter alia, issue writs of mandamus to district courts to ensure compliance with earlier mandates. U.S. v. Cannon (In re U.S.), 807 F.2d 1528, 1529 (11th Cir.1987); Oswald v. McGarr, (In re General Motors Corp. Engine Interchange Litigation), 620 F.2d 1190, 1195-96 (7th Cir.1980). Cf.

Id. at 1143. We observe that before 1989, courts that reviewed programs designed to test police officers for drug use differed about whether the officers fell within the highly regulated industry exception. Compare Policemen’s Benevolent Ass’n of New Jersey, Local 318 v. Township of Washington, 850 F.2d. 133, 136-41 (3d Cir.1988) (“PBA Local 318”) (finding that police are members of highly-regulated industry and upholding suspicionless drug testing of police officers), cert. denied, 490 U.S. 1004, 109 S.Ct. 1637, 104 L.

Instead, the bystander’s report simply indicates that the parties agreed that the trial court “would hear all three cases together.” Therefore, based upon my review of the record, it is apparent that the trial court conducted a single trial of all three cases. See People v. Lopez, 367 Ill. App. 3d 817, 819 (2006) (noting that appellant has burden of providing sufficiently complete record to support claims of error and that any doubts that may arise from the incompleteness of the record will be resolved against appellant). By agreeing to a single trial on all of the cases, defendant cannot now complain that the trial court heard evidence of defendant’s conduct in the other cases. See People v. Gresham, 104 Ill.

To resolve this dispute, we must evaluate whether a state may waive immunity by its affirmative conduct in the context of a federal. program or whether Edelman mandates that a state can waive only by express statements or overwhelming implication in its statutory or constitutional text. See Atascadero, 473 U.S. at 238. n. 1 & 239-40, 105 S.Ct. 3142; Edelman, 415 U.S. at 673, 94 S.Ct. 1347.

Even if Dr. Shoenfeld’s testimony satisfied the first prong of Althen, under the very deferential standard of review afforded the decision of the special master, it was not arbitrary and capricious for him to find Dr. Maclaren’s testimony more credible than that of Dr. Shoenfeld, and thereby give substantial weight to Dr. Maelaren’s rejection of a causal link between the MMR vaccine and Petitioner’s Type 1 diabetes.

Von Deck, 607 So.2d 1388 (Fla.1992), our Supreme Court held that an instruction cannot be given on a permissive lesser included offense unless both the accusatory pleading and the evidence at trial support the commission of that lesser included offense. Here, the information filed against Donovan alleged the charge of kidnapping as follows: COUNT 1: In the County of BRE-VARD, State of Florida, on July 11, 1999, Michael Curtis Donovan, did forcibly, secretly or by threat, confine abduct or imprison another person [K.B.] ag conviction because it was error for the trial court to instruct the jury on that permissive lesser included offense.

We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo, Cooper v. Pickett, 187 F.3d 616, 623 (9th Cir.1997), and we affirm. Because the PLRA’s filing fee requirement is a procedural rule that does not infringe on the authority of the courts, the district court did not err by dismissing Rogers’ action. Cf. Rodriguez v.

In contrast, when a governmental unit fails to maintain public works, such as a storm drainage system, or street and storm sewers, those activities are not discretionary functions.

On that date, CT Corp. had the duty to receive or accept and forward the process or lawsuit to WCT. See Tex. Bus. Orgs.Code Aun. § 5.206(a)(1) (West 2012). WCT argues that CT Corp. had no obligation to forward the process to WCT because CT Corp. was the registered agent for a second entity that used the same common name. The dilemma faced by CT Corp. does not, however, alter the applicable law.

First, Mr. Valenzuela argues that he waived his right to appeal in his written plea agreement and therefore had no tribal court remedies to exhaust. We agree with the district court that Mr. Valenzuela’s appeal waiver does not excuse his failure to pursue habeas corpus relief in the tribal court. The appeal waiver did not expressly waive Mr. Valenzuela’s right to collaterally attack his conviction in tribal court. See United States v. Cockerham, 237 F.3d 1179, 1181-83 (10th Cir.2001) ().

Again, like the consumer protection issue, courts faced with the question of whether variations in the state law of unjust enrichment bar class certification have reached different outcomes. Compare, e.g., Overka v. Am. Airlines, Inc., 265 F.R.D, 14, 19-21 (D. Mass. 2010) (stating that “unjust enrichment claims in different states are substantially similar” and certifying a 34-state class) and In re Terazosin Hydrochloride Antitrust Litig., 220 F.R.D. 672, 697 n.40 (S.D, Fla. 2004) (stating that the “standards for evaluating various states classes’ unjust enrichment claims are virtually identical”) with Casa Orlando Apartments, Ltd. v.

We note that we are affirming the district court’s dismissal on the basis that the second action was duplicative of the first, and not on the basis that the district court had the discretion to dismiss the second action as a sanction for failing to comply with the Rule 16 scheduling order issued in the first action.

Given these provisions, it is difficult to understand how providing a summary of documents supporting a claim, or at least providing an explanation for why the proof of claim has nothing attached to it, unduly burdens creditors. The only explanation could be that certain creditors wish to continue their routine of executing and filing proofs of claim without objection and without any evidence — essentially, without having to do any work. This practice violates the Bankruptcy Rules and undermines the bedrock notion of the legal system that claimants bear the burden of proving their claims. See Raleigh v. Ill. Dep’t of Revenue, 530 U.S. 15, 21, 120 S.Ct. 1951, 147 L.Ed.2d 13 (2000) ().

In his Rule 60(b) motion, Strom sought a remedy for a perceived flaw in his § 2255 proceeding — namely, the district court’s failure, in ruling on the § 2255 motion, to address Strom’s claims of actual innocence and that plea counsel induced Strom’s guilty plea by assuring Strom that he would receive a 10-year sentence — and raised a direct attack on his conviction and sentence. Accordingly, the motion was a mixed Rule 60(b)/§ 2255 motion. McRae, 793 F.3d at 397, 400; see Gonzalez, 545 U.S. at 532 n.4, 125 S.Ct. 2641 (); Winestock, 340 F.3d at 207 (stating that “a ### Response: holding that a movant files a true rule 60b motion when he asserts that a previous ruling which precluded a merits determination was in error " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the contempt.

Fed.2d 563 at § 27 (citing cases); but see id. at § 28 (citing cases holding that sue-and-be sued clause does not constitute express waiver). Here, however, CNI’s charter does not contain a broad sue-and-be-sued clause; instead, the ability to take legal action is limited to action approved by the board of directors. Thus, even if we were to conclude that a broad sue-and-be-sued clause waives tribal-sovereign immunity, this clause is insufficient to do the job. Cf. Ninigret Dev. Corp. v.

See 18 U.S.C. § 2250; 42 U.S.C. § 16913. Congress enacted SORNA in 2006 but delegated to the Attorney General the authority to determine whether and when SORNA should apply retroactively to sex offenders convicted before SORNA’s effective date.

The Attorney General has exercised this authority and made SORNA retroactive, but the circuits have split over which action by the Attorney General was successful in making the statute retroactive.

It was later determined that Williams had several prior felony convictions, and Williams was indicted under § 922(g)(1) in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland. Williams elected to go to trial. Prior to trial, he stipulated that he was a convicted felon so that the name and nature of his recent prior convictions — a 1991 conviction for possession with intent to distribute heroin, a 1995 conviction for possession with intent to distribute heroin and cocaine, and a 1995 handgun conviction— would not be introduced to the jury.

In order to be ""direct,” evidence must prove “the existence of a fact in issue without inference or presumption.” Hall v. U.S. Dep’t of Labor, 476 F.3d 847, 854 (10th Cir.2007) (quotation omitted). For example, an employer's express adoption of a discriminatory policy constitutes direct evidence. See Trans World. Airlines, Inc. v.

DOC chose not to apply these procedures in White’s case. DOC has never shown that its refusal to apply the established procedure in this case was anything other than arbitrary.

Our resolution of this dispute depends upon our construction of the legal disability statute. Initially, we reiterate that [o]ur approach to statutory construction begins with the statute’s language, and if it can end there — with our finding of a clear meaning of the Legislature’s intent — then we must stop. “Our search for a statute’s purpose begins with the words of the statute itself.

In other words, our decision appears to have agreed with the premise that the government may use classified information without disclosure, if that information truly implicates national security. Here, the classified information implicates national security. 10 . We recognize that the utility of the methods described in text may be limited. For example, the information conveyed by an unclassified summary will be decidedly less helpful to the entity than the classified information itself. But limited utility is very different from no utility. An unclassified summary is analogous to privilege logs in the context of discovery disputes, yet their use is routine.

Andrews contends that the prosecutor “effectively shifted the burden of proof in this prosecution to the defendant.” Assuming arguendo that the prosecutor’s remarks were improper, Andrews’ argument that the burden of proof was shifted is not supported by the record, because the district court gave the following instructions to the jury: “[T]he defendant is presumed by the law to be innocent. The law does not require a defendant to prove his innocence or to produce any evidence at all. The government has the burden of proving the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, and if it fails to do so, you must acquit the defendant.” See Iredia, 866 F.2d at 117-18 (). Plain error is not shown. D Andrews contends ### Response: holding that prosecutors comment if there was evidence available to defense lawyers dont you think they would put it on did not require reversal because district courts instruction that burden was on the government should have sufficiently erased any doubts as to which party had the burden of proof " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: clearly erroneous findings of fact, carefully and correctly set out the law governing the issues raised, and clearly articulate the reasons underlying the decisions, issuance of a full written opinion by this court would serve no useful purpose. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in the opinions of the magistrate judge and the district court, we AFFIRM. We add only that, although we agree with the magistrate judge’s conclusion that because the trustee in Sharp’s bankruptcy abandoned any interest in this cause of action, Sharp has standing to bring this action and to represent the class, we would find that Sharp has standing principally on the ground that Sharp’s interest in this action was never the property of the bankruptcy estate.

Pickup was justified on the same basis. SOCE therapy is analogous to prescribing a harmful drug. Liability could attach for providing SOCE therapy because the therapy had the chance to harm minors psychologically. As Pickup and Lowe recognized, however, even if quack medicine (or what the State deems to be quack medicine) can be prohibited without scrutiny, doctors cannot be prohibited from talking to their patients about quack medicine. See 472 U.S. at 231, 105 S.Ct. at 2584 (White, J„ concurring) (“I do not think [the State] could make it a crime ... privately to speak urging persons to follow or reject any school of medical thought.” (internal quotation marks omitted)); 740 F.3d at 1228 ().

For this reason, “application of the firm waiver rule here would be pointless,” and we will consider Hill’s arguments. Garrett v. Fleming, 362 F.3d 692, 695 n. 5 (10th Cir.2004). We review a district court’s refusal to appoint counsel for an indigent prisoner in a civil case for an abuse of discretion. See Rucks v. Boergermann, 57 F.3d 978, 979 (10th Cir.1995). “The burden is on the applicant to convince the court that there is sufficient merit to his claim to warrant the appointment of counsel.” McCarthy v. Weinberg, 753 F.2d 836, 838 (10th Cir. 1985). “Only in those extreme cases where the lack of counsel results in fundamental unfairness will the district court’s decision be overturned.” Id. at 839 ().

In Anderson, the Supreme Court expressly held that Doyle does not apply in situations where “a defendant ... voluntarily speaks after receiving Miranda warnings [because he] has not been induced to remain silent.” Id. at 408. Here, as in Anderson, before the Defendant made his statement regarding who owned the drugs in Apartment 22, the Defendant had already answered a number of prior questions; thus, his affirmative statement (that “he did know [who the owner of the drugs was]; however, he would not inform [Agent Hayes] of that person’s name”) was not silence, but rather an admission that he knew the identity of the drug owner but refused to reveal the party’s name to Agent Hayes.

We therefore hold that the clear text of § 2713 creates a mandatory condition precedent barring all OPA claims unless and until a claimant has presented her claims in compliance with § 2713(a) and either: (1) all responsible parties deny all liability; or (2) the claim is not settled by payment within 90 days after (A) the claim was presented, or (B) advertising was begun under section 2714(b) of the Act, whichever is later. 33 U.S.C.A. § 2713(c). C. Consequence of Dismissal All parties agree that the district court’s dismissal should not be treated as a dismissal with prejudice.

Hill, 122 B.R. 539, 541 (ED.Ark.1990).” In re Merrick, 175 B.R. at 336-337. To determine whether a “proceeding” is subject to the automatic stay under section 362(a)(1), many courts have followed the analysis employed in the Third Circuit which is the following: “Whether a specific judicial proceeding falls within the scope of the automatic stay must be determined by looking at the proceeding “at its inception.” “That determination should not change depending on the particular stage of the litigation at which the filing of the petition in bankruptcy occurs.” Thus, the dispositive question is whether a proceeding was “originally brought against the debtor.” Maritime Elec. Co. v. United Jersey Bank, 959 F.2d 1194, 1204-1205 (3d Cir.1992) (citations o , 491 n. 2 (8th Cir,1993) (); Gecy v.

As such, we question whether it could impact claims existing at the time of its passage (rather than merely claims brought under policies issued in 1985 or thereafter which included the terms required by the statute), and whether the Missouri legislature would have had reason to include any saving language in the statute. This dilemma raises the more general concern about whether provisions in state insurance codes, such as § 376.426(14), should even be considered ""analogous” statutes of limitation for ERISA purposes. See Wetzel v. Lou Ehlers Cadillac Group Long Term Disability Ins. Program, 222 F.3d 643, 647-48 (9th Cir.2000) (). As stated above, however, we decline to ### Response: holding such statutes are not analogous statutes of limitation for erisa purposes " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that was neither deep enough or long enough to require stitches, and a scraped elbow did not require prompt medical attention under the Eighth Amendment. See Davis v. Jones, 936 F.2d 971, 972-73 (7th Cir.1991). In sum, Pinkston’s split lip and swollen cheek do not qualify as injuries that are “so obvious that even a lay person would easily recognize the necessity for a doctor’s attention.” Wynn, 251 F.3d at 593. Furthermore, even if we were to assume, for purposes of argument only, that Pinkston has indeed somehow established an objectively serious medical need, he has certainly failed to demonstrate that Madry and Grisselle were deliberately indifferent to that hypothetical need. See Board, 394 F.3d at 478; see also Hughes v. United Van Lines, Inc., 829 F.2d 1407, 1420 (7th Cir.1987) (); United States v.

The state court’s factual findings are entitled to deference, 28 U.S.C. § 2254, and the district court’s factual findings are reviewed for clear error. McKenna, 65 F.3d at 1490. Also important to our analysis is the posture of this case, which comes to us on collateral review of Lopez’s conviction in state court, not on direct review of a conviction in federal district court. In this context, our inquiry is limited to whether Lopez was sentenced in violation of the United States Constitution. See Smith v. Phillips, 455 U.S. 209, 221, 102 S.Ct. 940, 71 L.Ed.2d 78 (1982) (). Quoting from Cupp v.

The fingerprints were submitted to a law enforcement agency for review and Johnson’s previous conviction for affray was disclosed. When asked to clarify or explain the criminal charge, Johnson admitted that in 1980 she had been charged with aggravated assault and affray. She stated the aggravated assault charge was dismissed and she entered a plea of nolo contendere to the affray charge and was fined. One could agree with Johnson that she might have been confused if the Board’s question was, “Have you ever been convicted of a crime?” because the term conviction is confusing to both the legal and lay communities.

Thus, this factor also weighs in favor of abstention. g. Vexatious and reactive nature of the federal claim The Supreme Court recognized that the “vexatious or reactive nature of either the federal or the state litigation may influence the decision whether to defer to a parallel state litigation under Colorado River. ” Cone, 460 U.S. at 17, 103 S.Ct. 927. Where courts find bad faith on the part of plaintiff, a stay or dismissal may be warranted “as a means to deter vexatious use of the courts.” Holland, 840 F.Supp. at 1101; see also Baseline Sports, Inc. v.

In Shore, the court explained that because the district judges are empowered to employ and dismiss individuals in the probation department, any actions by the director “would be as an agent for the Judges.” 414 F.Supp. at 385; see Sullivan, 106 S.W.3d at 189. The Shore court further explained that “any equitable relief granted must therefore be directed against the ‘Judges ....”’ 414 F.Supp. at 385; see Sullivan, 106 S.W.3d at 189 (citing Clark v.

Id. at 11. At sentencing, the district court decided to follow the plea agreement and sentenced Blackwell to 36 months imprisonment. Because Blackwell’s sentence conformed to his plea agreement, he received the benefit of that agreement and he has waived any challenge to his sentence on the basis of Johnson. See United States v.

Additionally, because Lee does not allege that she is a member of a “suspect” or “quasi-suspect” class, her claim would be subject to rational basis review. See id. at 298-99. Lee would not plausibly be entitled to relief under this standard because, as the District Court observed, the Palimony Law is “extremely rationally related to the end goal” (Oral Arg.

Id. at 211. Appellees urged that the claims set forth in the remaining counts were not subject to judicial review, because section 5 of the Voting Rights Act precludes judicial review of actions taken by the Attorney General under its provisions, and commits the decision to interpose objections wholly to agency discretion. However, the District Court deferred consideration of the review-ability of Counts III through V, and ruled on the basis of Harper v. Levi, 171 U.S.App.D.C. 321, 520 F.2d 53 (1975) (), that the “procedural” issue raised by Count I ### Response: holding reviewable the attorney generals alleged failure to exercise his independent judgment before deciding not to object to a proposed voting change " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: failed to establish that Kennedy’s stock sales were “unusual.” As discussed above, Kennedy disclosed all his holdings in the November announcement. The additional 30,000 shares that Kennedy sold in January represented less than 11% of his holdings; after the sale, Kennedy owned approximately 259,000 shares and/or options of IMCERA stock. Further, the complaint failed to allege that any other defendant sold any shares of IMCERA stock during this period. The fact that the other defendants did not sell their shares during the relevant class period undermines plaintiffs’ claim that defendants delayed notifying the public “so that they could sell their stock at a huge profit.” In re Cypress Semiconductor Sec. Litig., Fed.Sec.L.Rep. (CCH) ¶ 97,060, at 94,-697, 1992 WL 394927 (N.D.Cal.1992) ().

Williams, 280 N.C. 132, 136, 184 S.E.2d 875, 877 (1971). It is recognized by this Court that “the preferred method of jury instruction is the use of the approved guidelines of the North Carolina Pattern Jury Instructions.” In re Will of Leonard, 71 N.C. App. 714, 717, 323 S.E.2d 377, 379 (1984). “In a criminal trial the judge has the duty to instruct the jury on the law arising from all the evidence presented.” State v. Moore, 75 N.C.

This places a duty upon the presiding judge to instruct the jury as to the burden of proof upon each issue arising upon the pleadings. See State v.

This requires a system of coordination between the holder of the easement and the owner of the land through which it passes. The Court thus concluded that the BLM needed to make an “initial determination” regarding the reasonableness and necessity of any proposed improvements beyond mere maintenance of the previous condition of the road. Id. at 1084-85. This approach was elaborated and applied in district court cases after Hodel. In United States v. Garfield County, 122 F.Supp.2d 1201 (D.Utah 2000), the court held, with reference to the same road at issue in Hodel, that any road construction within the National Park, beyond “maintenance,” would require advance notification of the Park Service and mutual accommodation between the P Cir.1988) (); see also United States v.

On the contrary, if bankruptcy court jurisdiction is not permitted over a class action of debtors, Rule 7023 is virtually read out of the rules. Id. at 754 (internal footnotes omitted). ... There is also disagreement about whether the bankruptcy court may exercise jurisdiction over a nationwide class of debtors or is limited to exercising jurisdiction over debtors whose petitions are filed within the same judicial district. Compare, e.g., In re Noletto, 244 B.R. 845, 849 (Bankr.S.D.Ala.2000) (permitting nationwide class) with Barrett v. Avco Fin. Servs. Mgmt. Co., 292 B.R. 1, 8 (D.Mass.2003) ().

The district court based its award on a variety of factors: it cited the need for deterrence, and recognized that “the willful and pervasive nature of [Chertok]’s misrepresentations, and the time and effort they added to this litigation,” called for a “considerable sanction.” Joint Appx 290-91. It balanced those considerations against the fact that we vacated two out of the three Rule 11 violations it originally relied on, and the fact that StreetEasy devoted less than one third of its submissions to the affirmed Rule 11 violation. Under these circumstances, it cannot be said that the district court’s decision to award one-third of the original amount was not within the range of permissible decisions. See Eastway Constr.

Nor should the court consider things like the alleged “operator friendly” characteristics of the ’220 trowel that do not appear in the claims. Finally, the court should appreciate that experimentation and modification of non-claimed features of the Red Rider will not necessarily preclude the finding of an on-sale bar.

Boone, 409 S.W.3d at 598. Rather, the relevant inquiry in determining whether to apply the escape: rule is deciding whether the defendant’s escape adversely affected the criminal justice system. Id.; McCartney, 297 S.W.3d at 926. Here, Appellant twice failed to appear for sentencing. The trial court was forced to issue a capias warrant, and law enforcement had to locate, and apprehend Appellant out of state and transport him back to Missouri. The trial court had to, schedule three sentencing hearings, resulting in a delay of nearly six months. Appellant’s actions in absconding from justice adversely impacted the criminal justice system, warranting application of the escape rule.

Where no Kentucky resident has been affected, rarely will that standard be met. It is not met here where the competing public policies — supposing a Kentucky policy against this UIM exclusion — concern only the balance to be struck between required insurance coverage and insurance affordability, a balance different states have assessed differently. Since here no Kentucky resident is affected, nothing requires a Kentucky court to interfere with the balance Pennsylvania has chosen for its citizens. Cf. United Farm Family Mut. Ins. Co. v.

He continued his argument by drawing the same distinction between simple manufacturing and trafficking. He stated, I think the evidence that has been presented is, at this point ... not sufficient for at least trafficking ... [b]ut it’s certainly the—it’s too speculative to present the trafficking. So, if we don’t have—if we have enough to present to the jury, I submit we have—it would be for manufacturing as opposed to trafficking. In denying the motion, the trial court specifically referred back to the previous discussion about “theoretical yield,” indicating the trial court understood the directed verdict motion to address the sufficiency of the State’s evidence on the element of quantity.

Here, in response to the challenge by appellant’s trial counsel, the prosecutor represented to the trial court that he exercised a peremptory strike on all venire-members who he had marked in his notes as stating that they could not consider life imprisonment and that he did not strike veniremember 33 because she was not marked in his notes as having given this response. Appellant’s counsel did not cross examine the prosecutor on this statement or request the production of the prosecutor’s notes to assess the truth of the statement. See Pondexter v.

Failure to arbitrate, Shepler argues, barred suit on the Leonards’ claims and was not subject to waiver by Shepler. ¶15 Most contract terms will be viewed as mandatory in the sense that the parties agreed that they will be bound by them and expect that they will be enforced by the court. However, this does not mean that contract terms cannot be waived or modified. It is also well established that parties may contract for an exclusive remedy that limits their rights, duties, and obligations. Graoch Assocs. #5 Ltd. P’ship v. Titan Constr. Corp., 126 Wn.

These prior Florida cases clearly put Plaintiffs on notice of the meaning of the phrase “outcome is determined by factors unpredictable by the player or games in which the player may not control the outcome of the game through skill.” See Fla. Stat. § 849.161(l)(a); see also Martin v. Lloyd, 700 F.3d 132, 136-37 (4th Cir.2012) ().

If, however, the June 20th Order is not a “judgment” under Rule 50 and 59, Schering’s motion may nonetheless be considered by this Court because the filing requirements embodied in those Rules are maximum filing requirements and do not prevent a party from filing such motions prior to the entry of “judgment.” Although parties typically do' not file post-trial motions until entry of final judgment resolving al Cir.1981) (), cert. denied, 455 U.S. 1017, 102 S.Ct. 1711, ### Response: holding that district court improperly denied rule 50b motion filed after entry of final judgment because previous judgment which did not resolve issue of attorneys fees did not trigger rule 50b filing requirements " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: The debtor is not directly obligated to her minor children for Mr. Sinton’s charges, but this fact is not determinative of discharge. In the case of Silansky v. Brodsky, Greenblatt & Renehan (In re Silansky), 897 F.2d 743 (C.A.4 1990), the Fourth Circuit affirmed the holding of the District Court that attorney’s fees ordered to be paid to attorneys for debtor’s former spouse were within the coverage of § 523(a)(5) and not dischargeable, following the holdings of such cases as Pauley v. Spong (In re Spong), 661 F.2d 6 (C.A.2 1981), that classified fees allowed to a spouse’s attorneys in divorce proceedings as nondisehargeable debts in the category of alimony, maintenance, and support.

Finally,. the Court’s interpretation of Section 1226(c) is further reinforced by Supreme Court precedent. The Supreme Court has held that “a provision that the Government ‘shall’ act within a specified time, without more, [is not] a jurisdictional limit precluding action later.” Barnhart v.

Therefore, counsel’s failure to object was not deficient. We also find that the prosecutor’s alleged improper vouching for Skalnik was a fair comment in response to defense counsel’s attack on Skalnik’s credibility during closing argument. Defense counsel referred to Skalnik as a “professional thief’ and a poor police officer. The State was entitled to rebut these comments. Accordingly, Dailey has failed to demonstrate that counsel’s failure to object constitutes deficient performance. With regard to the prosecutor’s alleged “blatant misstatement of fact” concerning Shaw’s testimony, this claim was never raised in Dailey’s postcon-viction motion. Therefore, it is not cognizable on appeal. See Gordon v. State, 863 So.2d 1215, 1219 (Fla.2003) ().

There is no evidence supporting appellant’s allegation that the truck was titled in the name of McDanel Painting, or any other indication in the record that the truck was a commercial vehicle. Because there is no evidence in the official record that the truck was a commercial vehicle, there is no genuine issue of material fact regarding the status of the vehicle. Consequently, appellant’s claim that the truck was a commercial vehicle, and, thus, she is entitled to the presumption that the operation of the truck was for the owner’s purposes must fail.

The Majority correctly observes that “[o]ur decision in Horvath did not revolve around whether the plaintiff suffered a financial loss.” (Majority Op. at 416.) It did, however, turn on the question of whether the plaintiff had demonstrated an individual loss, i.e., an actual injury to that particular plaintiff. That showing is required when a plaintiff is seeking individual relief under ERISA. See In re Unisys Sav. Plan Litig., 173 F.3d 145, 159 (3d Cir.1999) ().

Abuse of discretion occurs when a decision by the trial court is “so clearly wrong as to lie outside the zone within which reasonable persons might disagree.” Cantu v. State, 842 S.W.2d 667, 682 (Tex.Crim.App.1992). Public records and reports, in any form, of public offices or agencies setting forth matters observed pursuant to a duty imposed by law as to which matters there was a duty to report are not hearsay, even if the declarant is available as a witness. Tex.R. Evid. 803(8)(B). An exception controls criminal cases, however, in which records and reports concerning matters observed by police officers and other law enforcement personnel are inadmissible hearsay.

Were the State to expressly disclaim jurisdiction and the federal courts to give up their protective jurisdiction over Indian lands, including water rights, the Indians would seem deprived of the benefit of the original bargain that they were driven to make. Of course, by general statute, Congress later expressed its willingness to have any state assume jurisdiction over reservation Indians if the state legislature or the people voted affirmatively to accept such responsibility. Id. at 222, 79 S.Ct. at 271. To date, Montana does, not appear to have accepted such responsibility. In passing, we note that McClanahan v.

Based on this precedent, the district court could reasonably rely on the 16-level enhancement to arrive at an appropriate sentence. Mr. Soto-Robledo relies not only on the alleged unfairness of the 16-level enhancement, but also on the alleged failure to adequately consider mitigating factors. According to Mr. Soto-Robledo, these factors deserved greater weight. But the district court has the discretion to balance mitigating factors, such as cultural assimilation. See United States v.

The second certified question asks us to construe the legal disability statute, Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-1-106, to determine whether its provisions toll the statute of limitations for individuals of unsound mind when that person’s legal representative accepts responsibility for the injured person’s tort claims arising out of a single incident. As noted above, the statute of limitations for actions for injuries to the person is one year. TenmCode Ann. § 28-8 — 104(a)(1) (2000).

The trial judge further states that she had set the Motion for submission on March 18, 2005, and that counsel knew about this setting. No party challenges this statement, states that the court did not re-set the submission date, expresses surprise that the trial court had set the Motion for submission on that date, or objects to any alleged lack of notice that the submission date had been re-set. The trial court also announces that it is granting the Motion.

We decline to accept Cooper’s invitation to place the burden on the defendant to request a nominal damages instruction. Cooper was the party seeking a finding of actual injury and, as such, bore the responsibility of requesting a nominal damages instruction if it wanted the jury to consider that option. Of course, Cooper may well have decided for tactical reasons that it did not want the jury to consider that option. But whether Cooper failed to request an instruction on nominal damages by choice or inadvertence, it should bear the consequences. Because Cooper did not request such an instruction, it cannot now contend that we should infer a finding of nominal damages. See Walker v. Anderson Electrical Connectors, 944 F.2d 841, 844-45 (11th Cir.1991) (), cert. denied, — U.S. —, 113 S.Ct. 1043, 122 ### Response: holding that plaintiff was not entitled to a presumption of nominal damages when she had failed to request them " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: statutory sodomy, and it does pot consist of an attempt to commit the latter offense. Thus, first-degree sexiial misconduct as defined by section 566.090 does not satisfy any of the subparts of section 566.046.1(2) and therefore is not a lesser included offense of first-degree statutory sodomy. Our holding is consistent with State v. Greenlee, 327 S.W.3d 602, 621 (Mo.App. E.D. 2010), in which this Court held that first-degree sexual misconduct, as defined by section 566.090 is not a.lesser included offense of first-degree statutory sodomy because the former requires proof of “lack of consent.” Id. Ward’s argument is based entirely on the principle that a person under the age of fourteen can never legally consent to any kind of sexual activity. State v.

Thus, the risk of falling from a height to the ground or of falling into an excavation, pit, or ditch is considered obvious and, therefore, generally precludes the application of the doctrine. See 62 Am. JuR.2d § 352.

See Lander, 251 F.3d at 109. First, the plaintiffs variable universal life insurance policy is a “security” because it invests in mutual funds which are regulated by the SEC. See SEC v.

Further, this Court is satisfied a victim’s motive in making a statement excluding a possible source of her injuries is consistent with promoting her treatment for those injuries. Thus, Appellant’s claim that the answer did not meet KRE 803(4) is simply incorrect. Of greater concern is Appellant’s claim that the statement improperly identified him as the victim’s assailant. Under KRE 803(4), “the general rule is that the identity of the perpetrator is not relevant to treatment or diagnosis.” Colvard, 309 S.W.3d at 244.

The “minimum contacts” aspect of due process can be satisfied by either finding specific jurisdiction or general jurisdiction. See Wilson, 20 F.3d at 647. If the conduct of a defendant that supports personal jurisdiction is related to a stated cause of action, personal jurisdiction is known as “specific jurisdiction.” See Ruston Gas Turbines, 9 F.3d at 418-19. The minimum contacts prong for specific jurisdiction can be satisfied by a single act if the nonresident defendant “purposefully avails itself of the privilege of conducting activities within the forum state, thus invoking the benefit and protection of its laws.” Burger King Corp. v.

We agree with the district court’s conclusion, but not with its reasoning. Hav ing determined that NEI may be subject to liability for the original developer’s obligations pursuant to the Arkansas TimeShare Act, we conclude that Time-Share Act’s statute of limitations governs this action.

Consistent with their function, statutes of repose are understood to set “an outer limit beyond which [claims] may not be instituted.” Hess, 175 So.3d at 695. As such, they are generally regarded as establishing an absolute bar to the filing of any claim after the expiration of the repose period and as being immune to the efforts of claimants to avoid-it.

First, Hernandez contends that because the sentencing guidelines are advisory after Booker, a district court has discretion as to how and when it determines § 3553(f) eligibility. Second, Hernandez argues that because § 3553(f) contains mandatory language, it is invalid after Booker, Hernandez’s Hoofcer-based challenges are foreclosed by recent Ninth Circuit opinions in United States v.

As noted above, the Guidelines in effect when Head committed the underlying offense included no requirement or presumption of consecutive prison terms upon revocation of supervised release. See USSG ch. 7 (1988). Unconstrained by section 7B1.3(f), the district court had discretion under the 1988 Guidelines and the general guidance offered by 18 U.S.C. §§ 3553(a), 3583(e), and 3584 to impose either a consecutive or concurrent sentence.

At the evidentiary hearing Pinkston failed to establish either prong of this long-standing test. Initially, we note this court has held that injuries, such as those alleged by Pinkston — a split lip and a swollen cheek— do not rise to the level of an objectively serious medical need.

Having concluded that the plaintiffs have not demonstrated any constitutional violation, it becomes unnecessary for us to consider whether the rights at issue were clearly established such that “it would be clear to a reasonable officer that his conduct was unlawful in the situation he confronted.” Saucier, 121 S.Ct. at 2156 (citing Wilson v. Layne, 526 U.S. 608, 615, 119 S.Ct. 1692, 143 L.Ed.2d 818 (1999)). The district court correctly ruled that the officers were entitled to qualified immunity. Because the police officers did not violate Caricofe’s constitutional rights, the other defendants may not be held liable for failing to train or supervise those officers. See City of Los Angeles v. Heller, 475 U.S. 796, 799, 106 S.Ct. 1571, 89 L.Ed.2d 806 (1986) (); Young v.

On March 22, 2001, Perch filed suit against the City of Quincy for sex and disability discrimination under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 151B, and for sex discrimination under the Equal Protection clause, on the basis of both CFS-related and cancer-related conduct. On November 30, 2001, the City of Quincy moved to dismiss Perch’s cancer-related discrimination claims. III. STANDARD OF REVIEW In ruling on a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted, the court is to accept the factual allegations in the complaint as true and construe them in the light most favora t from filing claims in court which allege different types of discrimination, or are based on materially different facts, from the administrative charge. See, e.g., Lattimore, 99 F.3d at 465 (); Silva v.

On March 1, 2004, Plaintiffs filed a Class Action Complaint in this Court alleging ERISA violations. After an extension of time, Defendants moved to dismiss on May 10, 2004. Plaintiffs moved for partial summary judgment on June 22, 2004. On October 14, 2004, Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint, which does not modify Plaintiffs’ original claims, but merely adds a new Count V. Defendants have also moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint. DISCUSSION A. Motion to Dismiss Standard For the purposes of the Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, the Court assumes that the facts alleged in Plaintiffs’ Complaint are true, unless such allegations are contradicted by documents referenced in the Complaint. See Steckman v. Hart Brewing, Inc., 143 F.3d 1293, 1295-96 (9th Cir.1998) (). A Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss will be ### Response: holding that a court need not accept as true conclusory allegations which are contradicted by documents referred to in the complaint " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that a defendant is “able to provide.” Id. ¶ 12. The statute in Keller is also part of a recoupment scheme whereby a state seeks to recover costs from providing court-appointed counsel to indigent defendants. not support her argument. The fact that Fuller and its progeny require a finding of ability to pay does not mean that one is required here because those cases concern whether schemes to exact payment for the costs of appointed counsel from criminal defendants unconstitutionally impinge upon the exercise of the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. Here, no constitutional right to counsel is implicated; the trial court instead ordered defendant to pay the costs of caring for her animals during the litigation. See State v. Diamondstone, 132 Vt. 303, 305, 318 A.2d 654, 656 (1974) (). ¶ 14. Defendant also cites State v.

From 2002 until the date of the accident, Murray never alleged that he attempted or recommended to place liquor liability coverage for Ennie. Considering these facts, Murray created an “unreasonable risk of harm” to Ennie at the earliest in the fall of 2002 and at the latest during the last policy renewal in December 2005. Any meeting between Poeng and Murray that occurred in 2006 regarding insurance coverage was a continuation of Murray’s wrongful act of failing to provide the proper coverage. As such, Murray’s wrongful acts did not occur “wholly after” the retroactive date of January 1, 2006. Therefore, we hold that Murray is not covered under the AAIC policy, and that the Dist 5, 627-28 (8th Cir.1973) ().

The [Free Exercise] Clause forbids subtle departures from neutrality and covert suppression of particular religious beliefs.” (internal quotation marks and citations omitted)). In reaching this conclusion we do not suggest that “every religious sect or group within a prison— however few in number — must have identical facilities or personnel.” Cruz v.

Id. This aspect of the opinion must not be overstated, as the court ultimately held that the patent owner did not transfer all of the substantial rights in the patent to the plaintiff; rather, it transferred only the right to license the patent to one specific (sub)lieensee. Id. at 1379-80. While the case was decided in the context of a Rule 19 dispute, the decision rested on the fact that none of the named plaintiffs had rights of ownership that created standing to sue. Alternatively, in one case requiring Rule 19 joinder of the holder of a reversionary right, the reversionary right was triggered upon the expiration of an agreement transferring all of the substantial rights of the patent.

The district court properly granted summary judgment to defendants on Campbell’s Equal Protection claim because Campbell did not present evidence indicating that he was similarly situated to inmates who were permitted to possess religious oil.

As to the merits, we are troubled by the lack of evidence in the record regarding the authority of M.P.H. Holdings to initiate the supplemental proceedings. A plain reading of section 33-15-102(a) requires a foreign corporation to have a certificate of authority prior to initiating any action in this state. See Hodges v. Rainey, 341 S.C. 79, 85, 533 S.E.2d 578, 581 (2000) (“Where the statute’s language is plain and unambiguous, and conveys a clear and definite meaning, the rules of statutory interpretation are not needed and the court has no right to impose another meaning.”); see also Chet Adams Co. v.

Parker did not advance the procedural error argument before the district court, and we therefore review it for plain error. Miller, 557 F.3d at 916. Having reviewed the sentencing transcript, we find no plain error in the district court’s consideration of the statutory factors or explanation of its sentence. The district court announced that it had considered the factors, and the colloquy with defense counsel indicated the district court was thinking about Parker’s specific history and characteristics. The court had detailed information regarding Parker’s history of supervision, criminal history, original offense of conviction, and the numerous violations of supervised release conditions. See United States v. Robinson, 516 F.3d 716, 718 (8th Cir. 2008) ().

Here, Licensee first argues that the trial court erred in determining that he had, in fact, refused the blood test, maintaining that, although he refused to sign the hospital consent form, he agreed to submit to the actual blood test. Although acknowledging that our holding in Smith would defeat this argument, Licensee urges that we reconsider that opinion, contending that, in Smith, this court exceeded its authority and usurped legislative authority by superimposing upon section 1547 the requirement that a licensee execute a hospital consent form. In Smith, we relied on the underlying principles expressed in Commonwealth, Department of Transportation, Bureau of Driver Licensing v. Miller, 155 Pa.Cmwlth. 564, 625 A.2d 755 (Pa.Cmwlth.1993) (), Lewis v.

Thus, at this stage of these proceedings, the Court must decide whether the Sykes are entitled to offer evidence to support their claims, not whether they will ultimately prevail. See Scheuer v. Rhodes, 416 U.S. 232, 236, 94 S.Ct. 1683, 40 L.Ed.2d 90 (1974), abrogated on other grounds by Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 102 S.Ct. 2727, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982). In doing so, the Court may consider “official public records” that are relevant to the Sykes’ claims without converting Bayer’s motion to one for summary judgment. See Gasner v. County of Dinwiddle, 162 F.R.D. 280, 282 (E.D.Va.1995); see also Tellabs, Inc. v. Makor Issues & Rights, Ltd., — U.S. —, 127 S.Ct. 2499, 2509, 168 L.Ed.2d 179 (2007) (). III.

Id. The Bowerses argue that, in a negligence case, the plaintiff, even if the plaintiff is not in a zone of danger, should be allowed to recover damages for mental anguish resulting from an incident that causes damage to property if the damage to the property is committed under circumstances of insult or contumely. See Reinhardt Motors, Inc. v. Boston, 516 So.2d 509, 511 (Ala.1986). We disagree. Under Alabama law, it is well established that damages for mental anguish are not recoverable in tort where the tort results in mere injury to property unless the damage to property is committed under circumstances of insult or contumely. See, e.g., Jefferies v. Bush, 608 So.2d 361, 364 (Ala.1992) (); Smith & Gaston Funeral Directors v.

In at least some of these cases, however, courts found the policy language ambiguous and therefore applied the rules of construction requiring the court to construe the terms of the insurance policy against the insurer. See, e.g., Delledonne, 621 A.2d at 354; Campbell, 109 S.E.2d at 577. In others, courts applied rules of construction contrary to those followed in Texas and strictly construed the policy language against the insurer without first finding that the language was ambiguous. See, e.g., Gibbs, 127 S.E.2d at 461; Corbett, 134 S.E. at 338. 17 . See, e.g., Johnson v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Ins. Co., 157 Ariz. 1, 754 P.2d 330, 331 (1988) (); Ray v. Farmers Ins.

Such importation is potentially misleading because the executive privilege is inspired, at least in part, by a policy consideration that plays little or no role in cases against police officers. At the root of the executive privilege is concern about preserving a constitutionally appropriate balance and separation of the largely disparate powers of the three great branches of the federal government. In the seminal cases about executive privilege the courts have been concerned primarily about finding an appropriate accommodation between the constitutionally independent status and needs of the presidency of the United States and the needs of our system of justice. See United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 708, 94 S.Ct. 3090, 3107, 41 L.Ed.2d 1039 (1974) ().

Merely focusing on the statutory notice contained in the letter, see 15 U.S.C. § 1692g(a), as the court did, neither constitutes such a finding nor fulfills our mandate because such an inclusion in a collection letter does not, by itself, exempt a party from liability under § 1692e. During the course of the bench trial, evidence, testimonial or otherwise, was received, but without findings of fact on this evidence from the trier of fact, we cannot conduct a meaningful review of the magistrate judge’s judgment, and therefore must again remand.

Mr. Brown’s primary argument is that the officers lacked probable cause because they confronted him, not on the basis of “reasonably trustworthy” information, but on the basis of information obtained from an “informant,” Dill, whose credibility was previously unknown to the police. Mr. Brown rests this argument on cases holding that information from anonymous sources might not be sufficiently reliable to constitute probable cause for arrest. See, e.g., Florida v. J.L., 529 U.S. 266, 274, 120 S.Ct. 1375, 146 L.Ed.2d 254 (2000) (); United States v.

Thus, Consiglio did not continue to detain Appellee by merely asking him a question about whether he was transporting contraband. When a traffic stop ceases to be a detention and the driver voluntarily consents to additional questioning, no further seizure occurs. See United States v.

R. 118.10 (discussing discipline by supreme court). It is also significant that the underlying goal of the licensing and supervision of attorneys is to protect the public from the consequences of unqualified legal advisors.

The Secretary argues that the Board (1) addressed the evidence of record concerning whether Mr. Johnson’s service-connected skin condition resulted in scarring, and (2) provided an adequate statement of reasons and bases for concluding that it did not. The Secretary notes that the Board found that Mr. Johnson’s disability involved hyperpigmentation, pruitis, and dryness, but not scarring. The Secretary also notes that, although mild abrasions were observed on Mr. Johnson’s November 2013 C & P examination report, the examiner did not find scarring. Moreover, the Secretary contends that the scar noted on Mr. Johnson’s buttocks in his November 20 .3d 1560, 1564 (Fed.Cir. 1995) (); Meeks v.

In this case, the officers discovered 110 pounds of marijuana during a search pursuant to a warrant, the validity of which is not contested. The record is clear that the officers decided to procure this search warrant before the initial entry into the house. Moreover, the record reflects that the probable cause relied upon to obtain the warrant was based on information gathered by the officers before the initial entry into the house. Therefore, the officers’ initial entry into the house did not contribute in any way to the discovery of the marijuana appellant was charged with possessing. Cf. Guo, 64 S.W.3d at 668 (); State v.

Rivers-Frison v. Southeast Mo. Community Treatment Ctr., 133 F.3d 616, 619 (8th Cir.1998) (internal citations omitted). Moreover, plaintiffs have not established that Hood had any role in the decisionmaking process at issue in this case. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has held that “ ‘some causal relationship is necessary to demonstrate the significance of non-contemporaneous statements, or statements made by persons other than the relevant decision-maker, to the resolution of the ultimate issue of intentional discrimination.’ ” Kohrt, 364 F.3d at 898 (quoting Hutson v.

Finley, 957 F.2d at 621. The Plan Administrator does not render any language in the Plan meaningless or inconsistent. In fact, the interpretation is consistent with the Plan’s goals of excluding coverage for certain injuries arising out of particular circumstances, such as criminal activity. There is no evidence that the words at issue were ever interpreted inconsistently with regard to other claimants. Further, the interpretation is not contrary to the 1998 WL 385897, *2-3 (6th Cir.1998)(). “When a plan administrator offers a ### Response: holding that the plan administrators decision to deny benefits to wifes claim for accidental benefits was not arbitrary and capricious because a clause in the husbands policy specifically excluded from accidental death coverage any purposeful selfinflicted injuries and any injuries caused by drug use and husband had died as a result of drunk drivingxper curiam " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to compel sterilization. According to the 2002 Country Report on Human Rights Practices, one parent in families with two children may be “encouraged” to undergo sterilization, but sterilization is not required. The reports depict the Chinese government as generally pursuing its family planning goals through economic incentives, delayed family licenses, the imposition of fines, and the imposition of mandatory birth control such as intrauterine devices or implants. Since the reports do not show that Zheng would be in danger of this procedure upon return to China, we find no substantial evidence that would warrant reversing the holding of the BIA. B.

Similarly, Procito argues that extending Nimitz and Kurtz to same-sex families would violate the Due Process Clauses of Article I, Sections 1 and 11 of the Pennsylvania Constitution. She argues that adopting a construction of Section 402(b) of the Law that categorically excludes same-sex couples from being able to establish the “necessitous and compelling” nature of their reasons for leaving employment would create an ""irrebuttable presumption,” which would deprive them of the ""meaningful opportunity to be heard” guaranteed by Due Process.

(Def. Opp. 18-19; Def. R. 56.1 Statement ¶ 57.) Thus, plaintiffs assert that PBGC was obligated to affirmatively inform participants that, if these determinations were incorrect, they could potentially be entitled to greater benefits. While a fiduciary may not mislead participants about its decisionmaking processes, it does not have to affirmatively advise participants of every step in its internal deliberations, unless the fiduciary itself has created confusion as to the action being considered.

We believe that the Borough’s selective, discretionary application of Ordinance 691 against the leehis violates the neutrality principle of Lukumi and Fraternal Order of Police because it “devalues” Orthodox Jewish reasons for posting items on utility poles by “judging them to be of lesser import than nonreligious reasons,” and thus “single[s] out” the plaintiffs’ religiously motivated conduct for discriminatory treatment.

The State claimed title to the property by a lost deed and adverse possession. Id. This Court held that Bell’s suit was, in effect, a trespass to try title action against the state. Id. at 294.

Third, Child’s interpretation is logical and avoids absurd results. See State v. Mendoza, 108 N.M. 446, 452, 774 P.2d 440, 446 (1989) (“Where the rule is unambiguous, we interpret it literally and give effect to the plain meaning of the rule ... unless to do so leads to an absurd or unjust result.”).

The premise underlying this argument reveals the true nature of the matic because they are effectively invoking estoppel against the government. The Defendants contend that because the government’s remission of payment represents that the government entity has evaluated all the relevant information and (presumably) determined that a claim is valid, the government should be estopped from arguing that the claim is invalid in a subsequent judicial proceeding. The premise underlying this argument is contrary to our longstanding presumption that estoppel against the government is impermissible. See, e.g., Federal Crop Ins. Corp. v. Merrill, 332 U.S. 380, 382, 386, 68 S.Ct. 1, 92 L.Ed. 10 (1947) (); see also Office of Pers. Mgmt. v.

A “high cost” mortgage covered by HOEPA is a consumer credit transaction with a creditor: 3) that is secured by the consumer’s principal dwelling 4) and is a second or subordinate residential mortgage, not a residential mortgage transaction, a reverse mortgage transaction, or a transaction under an open credit plan For such loans, a failure to satisfy the requirements of TILA/HOEPA can result in civil liability for the lender, which may be asserted as a matter of defense by recoupment. See 15 U.S.C.A. §1640. The HOEPA, therefore, does not apply to credit transactions unless such transactions are secured by a property used or intended to be used as the mortgagor’s principal dwelling. 15 U.S.C. § 1603; see also Antanuos v. First Nat’l Bank, 508 F. Supp. 2d 466 (E.D. Va. 2007) (). 3.

That notice, had it been given, would have stated the time of the sale. See Tex. Prop.Code Ann. § 51.002. If appellants wanted to avoid the sale, they were required to pay the balance on or before that time. While it would have been preferable for the bankruptcy court’s order itself to have given the parties a specific time on August 1, 2000 in which to make the $650,000.00 payment, we cannot agree that that flaw allows us to ignore the plain language of the order. Appellees’ also direct us to other extrinsic evidence to show the bankruptcy court did not intend the sale to occur only on August 1, 2000. However, the bankruptcy court’s order is not ambiguous. When an order is not ambiguous, we enforce it literally. Reiss v. Reiss, 118 S.W.3d 439, 441-42 (Tex.2003) (); Gulf Ins. Co. v.

In the absence of that certification, the Court has little difficulty concluding that the complaint was not served, and that in consequence, Plaintiff has not satisfied the requirement of Rule 25(a)(3) to serve the motion to substitute “on nonparties as provided in Rule 4.” Id. (emphasis added); see George v. United States, 208 F.R.D. at 31-32 (stating “non-party successors or representatives of the deceased party must be served the suggestion of death in the manner provided by Rule 4 for the service of a summons” (citation and quotation marks omitted)). It is axiomatic that a court lacks personal jurisdiction over a would-be party that has not been “served with a copy of the complaint.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(c)(1); see Ayres v.

Starwood Homeowner’s Ass’n, Inc., 390 S.W.3d 299, 301 (Tex.2013). Here, in both his answer and in discovery, Frazier admitted that the HVAC design was faulty, thus giving merit to plaintiffs claims. Frazier’s, own admissions lend support to plaintiffs claims that negligence occurred in the construction of the HVAC system, and granting a motion to dismiss in this case would defeat the purpose of this statute. In light of this, we conclude that Frazier “substantially invoked the judicial process,” Murphy, 374 S.W.3d at 631, and thus waived his right to a certificate of merit. The dissent focuses on Texas cases that, emphasize the quantity of activity in a case rather , than the substance of activity. See, e.g., Crosstex Energy Services, 430 S.W.3d at 394-95 ().

McGuire and Tansey, however, are left with Hickombottom’s remaining claims. The court will address each in turn. First, Mr. Hickombottom claims that the defendants violated his Fourth Amendment right to a prompt hearing by delaying his appearance before a magistrate. The defendants did question Hickombottom for about eleven hours after his arrest, but had nothing to do with him after that time. Eleven hours is not an unreasonable period in which to delay an appearance before a magistrate. See County of Riverside v. McLaughlin, — U.S. —, 111 S.Ct. 1661, 114 L.Ed.2d 49 (1991) ().

As evidence of Mrs. Brush's loan indebtedness, Wells Fargo relies on an affidavit attached as an exhibit to its summary judgment motion. This affidavit estimate falls outside the range of materials that a court may consider in a Rule 12(c) motion. Wells Fargo’s motion for judgment on the pleadings is denied as to its argument that the Brushes’ have failed to show damages for Wells Fargo’s breach of the loan modification contract. 6 . The Texas Supreme Court has yet to address whether foreclosure is “debt collection” under the TDCA. Other courts applying Texas law have permitted foreclosure-related claims under the TDCA. See, e.g., Watson v. Citimortgage, Inc., 814 F.Supp.2d 726, 734-35 (E.D.Tex.2011) (); Akintunji v.

In addition to erroneously concluding that the action should proceed to a jury determination, the trial court further erred by instructing the jury as if Bombay was an ordinary negligence case. The trial court instructed the jury on the liability issue without using the word “intentional.” The trial court then gave an instruction on comparative negligence and submitted to the jury a verdict form that allowed for a finding of comparative negligence. Such instruction was directly contrary to section 768.81(4)(b), Florida Statutes (1995), which provided that comparative negligence was not applicable in an intentional tort action, a principle which had long been the common law of Florida.

Doud, 485 So.2d 477 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986) (), review dismissed, 492 So.2d 1333 (Fla.1986); ### Response: holding comparative negligence not defense to intentional tort " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: to reopen deportation proceedings, arguing that she was not removable because her assault charge fell within the “petty offense” exception of INA § 212(a)(2)(A)(ii)(II), 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(2)(A)(ii)(II), and could not therefore be construed as a crime involving moral turpitude. The BIA denied that motion, and Membreno timely appealed. Discussion The Immigration and Nationality Act deprives a court of jurisdiction to review “any final order of removal against an alien who is removable by reason of having committed a criminal offense covered in section 1182(a)(2).” 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(C). This section also deprives a court of jurisdiction to hear appeals from decisions denying motions to reopen or reconsider such final orders. See Sarmadi v. INS, 121 F.3d 1319, 1321 (9th Cir.1997) ().

Ms. Lea testified at some length by telephone, but the hearing committee did not credit what she had to say. Since the committee’s credibility findings were not clearly erroneous, the Board was bound to accept them. There is no room here for the Board to “speculate” that Ms. Lea’s evasion of service, like that of Mr. Godette, may have been motivated by “hopelessness and perhaps despair.” In addition to the evidence of evasion of service, the Board also failed to consider other evidence of Ms. Lea’s deliberate disregard for the disciplinary process. In particular, given that substantial evidence supported the committee’s credibility findings, the Board erred in failing to accept those findings. See Temple, 629 A.2d at 1208-1209 ().

Sweitzer could have sought denial of suspension of the injunction.

Flora asserts that he was somehow less sophisticated than Firepond's representatives and that the lock-up agreement was not the product of negotiation because it was offered on a take it or leave it basis, under the threat that if he refused to sign, the IPO might not go forward. The court finds neither argument persuasive. First, Flora was sophisticated enough to negotiate and perform multimillion dollar business agreements. Second, the court is not convinced that the lock-up agreement, in these circumstances, was a contract of adhesion. Even if it was a contract of adhesion, that fact alone does not create a special duty of care where none otherwise existed. See Vierkant by Johnson v. AMCO Ins. Co., 543 N.W.2d 117, 120 (Minn.

And Grindle did not object to this testimony. It was Grindle’s attorney, not the State, that brought up the underlying reason for his arrest — that he allegedly possessed a stolen pistol.

Id. Here, no deputies under Sheriff Ball had ever engaged in sexually impermissible or suggestive conduct. And nothing in Fite’s record suggested that he had a proclivity to engage in sexually prurient behavior. As in Andrews, where we found no patently obvious need to train an officer not to rape young women even in the face of actual knowledge of deviant behavior, we do not believe that there is a patently obvious need to train an officer not to sexually assault women, especially where there is no notice at all that such behavior is likely. An objectively reasonable officer would know that it is impermissible to touch a detainee’s sexual organs by forcible compulsion. See Barney v. Pulsipher, 143 F.3d 1299, 1308 (10th Cir.1998) ().

Under Texas law, Lapiner cannot satisfy any of the elements of the doctrine of virtual representation. Lapiner is not bound by the underlying judgment — Is-ramco is bound. The claims adjudicated in this shareholder derivative action are for injury to the corporation, as distinguished from injury to its shareholders. See Swank v.

Our analysis is not altered even though the shareholder derivative action judgment may “bring about reduced earnings, salaries, or bonuses.” See BJVSD Bird Family P’ship, L.P. v.

This extension of the law does not justify further expanding the application of section 3—106 to injuries occurring outside a public entity’s property line. The District’s interpretation of section 3—106 is too expansive and would overcome the common law duty of due care codified by section 3—102(a) of the Act (745 ILCS 10/3—102(a) (West 2000) (a local public entity has a duty to exercise ordinary care to maintain its property in a reasonably safe conditio Super.

The Restaurant therefore attempted the other approach ad dressed in Mantas, that is, it filed a separate suit to resolve the settlement dispute and asked the appellate court to abate the appeal of the underlying cause pending that resolution. Our own precedent indicates that res judicata would not apply in these circumstances. See Wood v. Cosme, 447 S.W.2d 746, 750 (Tex. Civ. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] 1969, no writ) ().

The Petitioners contend that it is a violation of equal protection to treat aliens with U.S. citizen relatives differently than aliens without U.S. citizen relatives. We are unpersuaded by this contention because the differential treatment is not wholly irrational. See Hernandez-Mezquita v. Ashcroft, 293 F.3d 1161, 1164-65 (9th Cir.2002) ().

In short, SESH cannot now prevail on the ground that the ambiguous Easement terms are to be construed against the drafter because the identity of the drafter is, itself, a disputed question of material fact. Where, as here, the contract language is ambiguous, the rules of contract construction do not resolve it, and fact questions persist, it is for the finder of fact to decide the contract’s meaning. See McLemore, 7 So.3d at 327 (“Where factual issues arise, the resolution of the ambiguity becomes a task for the jury.”) (citations omitted); Murray v. Holiday Isle, LLC, 620 F.Supp.2d 1302, 1322 (S.D.Ala.2009) ().

Again, that rule provides that ""[r]ecords of juvenile proceedings as declared confidential by Ind.Code § 31-39-1-2 [are excluded from public access], except those specifically open under statute.” Read literally, that rule states that all court records are public, except those specifically confidential by statute, except those specifically open by statute. It is not clear if the records ""specifically open by statute” are the same records that are ""accessible to the public” in the first place. See Admin. R. 9. 8 . One may think that our earlier statement that the transcript here is presumptively confidential is obviously true, or at least that it should be obviously true.

In this regard, however, we must agree with the appellant. If sufficient, reliable evidence of Weil’s actual expenses is available then the district court should give the appellant the latitude to introduce this evidence. Once again we note that the actual maintenance deduction is a jury question and if the evidence of Weil’s actual maintenance expenditures will assist the jury in this determination then the evidence should be permitted. Weil’s estate is free to argue to the jury as to why the statistics are more accurate than the evidence of actual maintenance expenses presented by the appellant. See, e.g., Strickland v.

II Courts must be wary of exaggerating what are properly recognized as contemptible improprieties into grandiose visions of injustice. The temptation to entertain such visions is especially great in cases that pit lonely criminal defendants against the police and prosecutorial powers of their state governments. The danger in succumbing to such temptation is that rules designed to secure the integrity of the legal process can gradually take the form of escape valves whose only notable effect is to provide safe haven for indisputably guilty persons.

Similarly, on February 11, 2009, plaintiff Charles Shawn Lucrow was charged in Rankin County, Mississippi with driving under the influence. He initially appeared and pled not guilty in Rankin County Justice Court. On March 16, 2010, while the charges remained pending against them in the state justice courts, plaintiffs filed the present action in this court pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that defendants, as a mat ter of official policy, custom and practice, systematically deny justice court defendants access to favorable evidence relating to both guilt and punishment, in violation of their due process rights. See Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83, 87, 83 S.Ct. 1194, 1196-96, 10 L.Ed.2d 215 (1963) ().

KEM THOMPSON FROST, Justice, concurring. This court correctly reverses the trial court’s judgment because there was no evidence of independently actionable conduct by Bren-Tex that caused Michael Hensen’s death. There was no evidence to support independent liability in this regard as to the alleged DTPA and implied-warranty claims.

Reno cannot, due to the circumstances surrounding Metro’s refusal to promote her in 1991 and 1992, prevail on her claim that these incidents evince an overall pattern of continuing discriminatory conduct by Metro. Reno’s promotion denials occurred over a three year period and each involved a different hiring manager, negating Reno’s contention that such decisions were linked to or otherwise shared commonality with the 1993 promotion denial.

That Aetna learned of attorney Majewski’s involvement as early as October 26, 1987, is not dispositive, for the defendant has failed to prove that it switched to a litigation posture because of such knowledge. The mere awareness by an insurer that an injured person was seeking legal advice would not ordinarily cause one to anticipate litigation. Thus, any statements made by witnesses to the defendant, its agents, or its insurer (per the express language of Rule 26(b)(3)) soon after the incident are not protected by the work product doctrine.

Id. Therefore, a reasonable basis for the different classification of unwed fathers and unwed mothers in section 78-30-4 is the fact that while identification of both parents of an illegitimate child is necessary, identification of a child’s mother is automatic because of her role in the birth process, while identification of the father is not. A reasonable basis for the different classification of filing and nonfiling fathers is the state’s need to distinguish those fathers who have accepted legal responsibility for the care of their children from those fathers who have not.

Although we have never addressed the precise issue of whether § 406(b)(1)(A) authorizes an award of attorney’s fees where the district court’s judgment remanding the case to the Commissioner does not explicitly mention attorney’s fees, we have noted that the congressional intent behind § 406(b) is, in part, “to encourage effective legal representation of claimants by insuring lawyers that they will receive reasonable fees directly through certification by the Secretary.” Dawson v.

At this review, the Board interviewed Appellant and informed him that he had failed to complete his mandatory therapeutic substance abuse program, failed to obtain a favorable recommendation from the Department of Corrections, and, moreover, the Board still did not have an updated INS report. Consequently, the Board denied parole the second time concluding that the fair administration of justice could not be achieved through Appellant’s- release. The Board again reviewed Appellant’s eligibility for parole in February of 2002, but refused to parole him for the same reasons it denied parole in February of 2001.

Peterson v. Shinseki, No. 10-2433, 2012 WL 87578, at *1 (Vet.App. Jan. 12, 2012). In February 2006, Mr. Peterson sought to revise the September 1973 Rating Decision on the basis of CUE, and on March 30, 2010, the Board determined that the September 1973 Rating Decision was not the result of CUE. The Veterans Court agreed, reasoning that the alleged error was not outcome-determinative. See Willsey v. Peake, 535 F.3d 1368, 1371 (Fed.Cir.2008) () (citing Russell v.

We agree that if section 547.3215 had been relied upon by the officer and argued in the trial court, it would have made Officer Gilbert’s traffic stop abundantly reasonable. But nothing at the suppression hearing—not Officer Gilbert’s testimony and not the argument of counsel—presented that theory to the trial court. In this case, the State effectively relied strictly on subsections (a) and (c) of section 547.323 of the transportation code. Elsewhere in the State’s brief, it conceded that its failure to rely on section 547.3215 at trial precludes it from relying on that provision here on appeal. Any reliance on section 547.3215 was not preserved. See Tex. R. App. P. 33.1; State v. Mercado, 972 S.W.2d 75, 78 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) ().

Adkins does not appeal this order. With regard to the fraud-related defenses, Adkins filed a “Petition to Rescind and Void the ‘Relinquishment Agreement’ for the Causes of Fraud and Constructive Fraud,” but later withdrew the motion.

Although Plaintiff alleges that her reports from March 2003 to January 3, 2008, caused her discharge on August 8, 2008, without additional evidence, the eight-month gap between Plaintiffs last complaint and her discharge “is not sufficiently proximate to permit the inference that protected activity was a contributing factor to her termination.” Pardy v.

Appellant is not entitled to relief merely on the basis of a trial court order that, although inconsistent with a current rule, led to no improper action or omission. Consistent with Rule 576, decisional law from this Court has clarified Commonwealth policy regarding hybrid representation. No defendant has a right to hybrid representation, either at trial or on appeal. Commonwealth v. Ellis, 534 Pa. 176, 626 A.2d 1137, 1139 (1993); Commonwealth v.

At the same time, this is not a case of debtors who ran up debt by consistently living beyond their means. Rather, it appears that they were the victims of a collapsing real estate market that caught them by surprise as they were attempting to move from one house to another that was more suited to their needs. In retrospect, they clearly extended themselves unwisely, but certainly they were not the only home buyers in the 2005 to 2007 time frame who did not foresee the precipitous drop in property values that took even experienced real estate professionals in Northern Virginia by surprise. In any event, poor financial decisions, standing alone, do not equate to abuse. In re Smith, 354 B.R. 787 (Bankr.W.D.Va. 2006) ().

The Court then cited with approval state statutes and court decisions that, unlike the Washington statute, protect that fundamental right. See, e.g., Cal. Fam.Code § 3104(e) (West 1994) (rebuttable presumption that grandparent visitation not in child’s best interest if parents agree otherwise); Me.Rev.Stat.

However, plaintiffs’ experts conclude through their opinions after scrutinizing the hospitals’ records that the lack of sufficient documented objective vital signs at the time of discharge from HHM, and the mere reliance on the child’s appearance accompanied by a normal chest x-Ray at the time of discharge from San Pablo is meager evidence of baby Joseph’s stability at time of discharge. The Court must, therefore, leave the issue to be resolved by a jury’s weighing of the hospitals’ documented record against the opinion of plaintiffs’ experts suggesting that the records were insufficient.

United States, 855 F.2d 1573, 1577 (Fed.Cir.1988) (emphasis in original). In determining whether plaintiffs knew, or should have known, of the requisite factual predicates establishing the government’s alleged liability in this case, the court must apply an objective standard.

In his concurring opinion, Mr. Justice Baer appears to translate the common-law maxim of sic utere tuo ut alienum non laedas into a federal constitutional duty, on the part of local municipalities, to protect property owners from the use of neighboring properties in ways that are undesirable to them. See Concurring Opinion, at 729-31, 734-37, 83 A.3d at 1002-03, 1005-06. The decisions referenced in the concurrence, however, generally concern the boundaries of the police power to establish zoning regulations restricting the ability of landowners to do as they wish with their own properties. See, e.g., Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co., 272 U.S. 365, 395, 47 S.Ct. 114, 121, 71 L.Ed. 303 (1926) (); City of Edmonds v.

In this case, allowing Bechtel to set off its obligation to Shaw against Bechtel’s claim against the Debtor would result in a different absurdity — essentially, A (Bechtel) would not have to pay B (Shaw) because C (Debtor) owes A. Shaw argues that the phrase “other transactions” in the Offset Provision means other transactions with “SUBCONTRACTOR,” which is now Shaw. Shaw concedes that to the extent there are any sums due by it to Bechtel under any of the Contracts assigned by the Debtor to it, Bechtel may offset those sums against t le’s State Bank, 68 F.2d 110, 111 (4th Cir.1934) ().

Moreover, it is important to remember that “[t]he imposition of death by public authority is . . . profoundly different from all other penalties . . . .” Lockett v. Ohio, supra, 438 U.S. 605. In a capital sentencing proceeding, there is no verdict of “not guilty”—rather, a capital defendant who is not sentenced to death will receive a sentence of life imprisonment. Therefore, because the potential harm from an erroneous sentencing verdict is far greater for the defendant than it is for the state, the balance of equities requires that any inaccuracies in the capital sentencing process be resolved in favor of the defendant.

Thus in its January 20, 1998 order, the court resolved the merits of the Hospitals’ claims, and with its April 30, 1998 order, directed the Secretary to calculate the amount of outlier payments due to the Hospitals and to make payment accordingly. This latter order has spawned some confusion about our jurisdiction because of the general rule applicable to civil actions that “where assessment of damages or awarding of other relief remains to be resolved,” a district court’s judgment is not “ ‘final’ within the meaning of 28 U.S.C. § 1291.” Liberty Mut. Ins. Co. v. Wetzel, 424 U.S. 737, 744, 96 S.Ct. 1202, 47 L.Ed.2d 435 (1976); see also A & S Council Oil Co. v. Lader, 56 F.3d 234, 238 (D.C.Cir.1995) ().

But wherever it goes for business it carries its charter, as that is the law of its existence * * *.""). We have expressed a similar view on nationality. See, e.g., State ex rel. Ohsman & Sons, Co. v. Starkweather, 214 Minn. 232, 237, 7 N.W.2d 747, 749 (1943) (). 5 .

For example, we have held that a job interviewer’s statement that the plaintiffs age caused him concern was not direct evidence of discrimination in the employer’s decision not to hire the plaintiff. Haas v. ADVO Sys., Inc., 168 F.3d 732, 733-34 (5th Cir.1999). Although the interviewer’s remarks were neither vague nor remote in time — and despite a reasonable inference that the interviewer had influenced the employer’s hiring preferences — we nevertheless noted that an additional inference was required before we could conclude that the decisionmaker himself chose not to hire the plaintiff based on age discrimination.

The jury instructions employed the definition of eohabitant found in the Cohabitant Abuse Act, informing the jury that Watkins was a cohbabitant of Father if either he was ""related by blood or marriage to [Father]"" or he ""resides or has resided in the same residence as [Father]."" See Utah Code Aun. § 78B-7-102(2) (2008). However, that definition is limited to the provisions of the Cohabitant Abuse Act and is not necessarily applicable in other contexts. See Hill v.

Rather, Kovler contends that the trial court should have required the City to file a civil complaint under the Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure to allow the matter to be fully litigated. Kovler envisions a process involving discovery and a full civil trial; however, Kovler offers no legal support for such a contention. See Boniella v.

For purposes of bankruptcy law, debtors have an interest in any property that would have been part of the bankruptcy estate if not for the transfer. See Begier v.

As we observed in Hughes Properties, the potential of nonpayment of a liability always exists, and it alone does not prevent accrual. The beneficiary of a liability always has the option of waiving payment, but a taxpayer is still unquestionably entitled to deduct the liability. An injured employee entitled absolutely to reimbursement for medical services under a workers’ compensation statute, for example, may fail to utilize the medical services. The employer, however, has been held to be entitled to deduct the expected medical expenses because the workers’ compensation law creates liability. See Wien Consolidated Airlines, Inc. v.

Indeed, if dismissing the School ■ District was sufficient to establish Edison’s negligence, Viruet himself could have asserted collateral estoppel against Edison at trial. Nor does the fact of settlement between Edison Learning and Viruet es tablish Edison Learning’s negligence. Settlements are not final adjudications for the purposes of collateral estoppel.

In Cooper Natural Resources, the arbitrator ignored the LCA, relying solely on the CBA. The court in that case was not faced with an issue like that in the present case, where the arbitrator interpreted a provision of the LCA and a party challenged the arbitrator’s interpretation. Thus, Cooper Natural Resources does not support Continental’s position that a more searching review of an arbitrator’s interpretation of an LCA is mandated. Second, none of the authorities relied upon by the court in Cooper Natural Resources support a “no deference” standard of review for awards arising from LCAs. In Tootsie Roll Indus., Inc. v. Local Union No. 1, Bakery, Confectionery & Tobacco Workers’ Int’l Union, 832 F.2d 81 (7th Cir.1987) (), the court applied the same standard of review ### Response: holding that an arbitrators award should have been vacated " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: (1941) (internal citations omitted). “The parties agree that the plaintiffs are citizens of North Carolina and defendants Whitehead and Aden are citizens of Virginia. The parties also agree that TRI was incorporated in Virginia and TRINC was incorporated in North Carolina.” (Appellant’s Br. at 11-12.) For purposes of diversity jurisdiction, “a corporation shall be deemed to be a citizen of any State by which it has been incorporated and of the State where it has its principal place of business.” 28 U.S.C.A. § 1332(c)(1). The district court held that TRINC’s North Carolina citizenship did not destroy complete diversity because TRINC was a “sham” defendant under the doctrine of fraudulent joinder. See Wilson v. Republic Iron & Steel Co., 257 U.S. 92, 97, 42 S.Ct. 35, 66 L.Ed. 144 (1921) ().

X-Rite, 748 F.Supp. at 1228 (footnote omitted); see also Twin City Fire Ins. Co., 336 F.Supp.2d at 621-22. As in X-Rite, the defendants in this case proceeded under the same questionable interpretation of South Carolina law. The insurance companies, in contrast, adhered to settled principles under South Carolina law regarding their right and duty to defend by providing counsel (i.e., Robert McKenzie) to represent the defendants for all claims filed against them, despite the reservation of rights. See, e.g., Allstate Ins. Co. v. Wilson, 259 S.C. 586, 193 S.E.2d 527, 530 (1972)(); Allstate Ins. Co. v.

INS, 243 F.3d 510, 516 (9th Cir.2001), and we dismiss in part and deny in part the petition for review. We lack jurisdiction to consider Vega Sanchez’s challenge to the IJ’s discretionary determination that he failed to demonstrate exceptional and extremely unusual hardship to his qualifying relatives. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(B)(i); Romero-Torres v. Ashcroft, 327 F.3d 887, 892 (9th Cir. 2003); Montero-Martinez v. Ashcroft, 277 F.3d 1137, 1144 (9th Cir.2002). Vega Sanchez contends the IJ violated his due process rights by using a boilerplate decision. The IJ’s decision indicates she gave Vega Sanchez’s application the required individual determination. Cf. Paramasamy v. Ashcroft, 295 F.3d 1047, 1050-52 (9th Cir.2002) (). The IJ set forth the facts as testified to by ### Response: holding an ijs boilerplate demeanor findings failed to provide an adequate basis for this court to conduct its review " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: from that before the court in 1997. In essence, the argument is that a change in factual circumstances after the prior determination bars the application of collateral estoppel here. 2. Changed Circumstances Courts appear to waiver in considering whether “changed circumstances” vitiates the application of the “identical issue” element of collateral estoppel, or whether it presents an equitable exception to the application of collateral estoppel, even if the “issue” to be determined is the same. Compare Anspach ex rel. Anspach v. City of Philadelphia, 380 Fed. Appx. 180, 184 (3d Cir.2010) (using “identity of issues” terminology) and Hawksbill Sea Turtle v. Fed. Emergency Mgmt. Agency, 126 F.3d 461, 477 (3d Cir.1997) (same) with Leventry v. Price, 319 F.Supp.2d 562, 568 (W.D.Pa.2004) () and Ramallo Bros. Printing, Inc. v. El Dia, ### Response: holding collateral estoppel elements met considering changed circumstances in the context of an exception to the general rule of collateral estoppel " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 170 Colo. 465, 468 P.2d 305 (1969). Thus, even assuming Jenkins intended to include legally adopted children when he referred to his daughters’ children in his 1944 will, he could not have intended to include equitably adopted children. The probate court found that Jenkins’ use of the terms “children, her lawful issue” and “child or children” in his will created latent ambiguity and the court thus resorted to extrinsic evidence to determine whether Jenkins intended to include adopted children as beneficiaries of his testamentary trust. Where evidence extrinsic to the will is considered, our standard of review is whether the probate court’s decision was clearly erroneous or completely unsupported by the evidence. See, e.g., M.D.C./Wood, Inc. v. Mortimer, 866 P.2d 1380, 1382 (Colo.1994) (); Colorado River Water Conservation Dist. v. ### Response: holding that only when facts are presented to the trial court by uncontested documentary evidence may an appellate court draw its own conclusions " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Moreover, although the Burberry Check mark does not include an equestrian knight, it is undisputed that Burberry has obtained trademark protection for an equestrian knight mark, and that it often sells handbags and other goods displaying a combination of the two marks. It is also undisputed that Appellants used their mark on handbags — the same category of goods on which Burberry used its marks. The district court was therefore correct to afford the jury the opportunity to view the government’s evidence and form an independent conclusion regarding whether Appellants’ plaid design was substantially indistinguishable from the Burberry Check mark and whether the inclusion of the equestrian knight figure made any difference. See United States v. Yi, 460 F.3d 623, 629 n. 4 (5th Cir.2006)(). And this evidence was sufficient to support ### Response: holding that it was for the jury to determine whether a battery that used the signature duracell copper top and black body was a counterfeit even though the text on the counterfeit battery read dinacell " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: provide “bare facts” instead of demonstrating that an offender’s guilty plea was based on that conduct. Huerta-Guevara v. Ashcroft, 321 F.3d 883, 888 (9th Cir.2003). It therefore appears that this Court cannot consider Plaintiffs admission in his Amended Complaint and deposition that he was married to Colette Fisher at the time of the 1997 incident under the modified categorical approach. Hayes indicates, however, that it is unnecessary to examine the elements of the predicate offense when analyzing whether that offense was “committed by a person who has a specified domestic relationship with the victim.” Rather, courts may look at the facts underlying the conviction to determine whether the “domestic relationship” requirement is satisfied. See Hayes, 555 U.S. at 421, 129 S.Ct. 1079 () (emphasis added).

Thus, according to the State, the trial court’s order stating its intent to consider Watters’s immunity defense “in due course” is sufficient and Watters’s petition is due to be denied. We cannot agree. Both the State and Watters acknowledge in their pleadings to this Court that the Court of Criminal Appeals, subsequent to the issuance of its order in this case, has issued opinions relevant to the issue before us. See Malone v. State, 203 So.3d 126, 131 (Ala. Crim. App. 2016) (); Harrison v.

This, therefore, excludes state regulation of safety appliances, parts and appurtenances of locomotives. Id. at 613, 47 S.Ct. 207. The United States Supreme Court has indicated that in passing FLIA, Congress intended the Act to occupy the entire field of regulating locomotive equipment. Id. at 611, 47 S.Ct. 207. ¶ 74. While it is clear that FLIA preempts any state regulation of locomotive design, a majority of courts have also found that FLIA preempts common law actions against locomotive operators and locomotive manufacturers. See, e.g., In re W. Va. Asbestos Litigation, 215 W.Va. 39, 592 S.E.2d 818, 822 (2003) (); General Motors Corp. v.

California, addressed this issue directly and found that the compelled administration of a blood test falls within the reach and protections of the Fourth Amendment. 384 U.S. 757, 767, 86 S.Ct. 1826, 16 L.Ed.2d 908 (1966). Any forced extraction of blood, therefore, invades one’s expectation of privacy in bodily integrity, and its reasonableness must be adjudged under a Fourth Amendment analysis. In addition, when blood is extracted and analyzed to reveal information derived from one’s DNA, a second intrusion into one’s expectation of privacy occurs. See Skinner, 489 U.S. at 616, 109 S.Ct. 1402; Ferguson v. City of Charleston, 532 U.S. 67, 76, 121 S.Ct. 1281, 149 L.Ed.2d 205 (2001) ().

See 11 Williston on Cont of one party, John Deere, to terminate the contract without cause on 120 days notice.

Because, under the current rule, a court may decline a party’s request to sequester a particular witness only if one of the rule’s three express exemptions applies, the rule creates a strong presumption in favor of sequestration. Cf. United States v. Jackson, 60 F.3d 128, 135 (2nd Cir. 1995) (discussing the nearly identical federal rule).

The circuit court also erred in reasoning that a number of cases have concluded that canine sniffs not incident to a traffic stop are subject to the same rules as sniffs conducted incident to a traffic stop. The circuit court’s cited cases all involved canine sniffs that were either incident to a traffic stop or involved parked and unattended cars in public places where the defendant had no expectation of privacy. None of the court's cited cases involved what is alleged here: an investigatory detention of persons or property performed to conduct a canine sniff. See e.g. United States v.

(Tr. at 33-39, 98-101, 128-29.) As this Court has no reason to doubt the credibility of the three officers in this case, their specific recollections trump ADA Coyne’s bare assumption that the criminal file jacket accurately represents her conversation with Officer Fogarty.

The sentencing court did just that. It did not consider McFarlane’s extensive drug dealing history in setting his guideline range of 60 to 71 months, but did consider that history in determining whether to grant a downward departure and how much of a departure to grant. The court granted the government’s motion for a downward departure, but limited the extent of the departure based in part on McFarlane’s extensive drug dealing history. Thus, the terms of McFarlane’s cooperation agreement, and correspondingly his constitutional rights, were not violated when he received at least a ten-month downward departure, based partly on testimony he gave at his code-fendants’ trial.

Lemar contends the two-level increase was not warranted because there was no evidence indicating he or any of his co-conspirators possessed a firearm during the commission of their offenses. We review for clear error the district court’s finding that the defendant possessed a firearm during the commission of a narcotics offense. See United States v. Willis, 899 F.2d 873, 874 (9th Cir.1990). A criminal defendant can be held accountable for a firearm possessed by a co-conspirator, if the possession was reasonably foreseeable to the defendant as part of the criminal activity.

We review questions of law de novo, see L-3 Commc’ns Corp. v. OSI Sys., Inc., 607 F.3d 24, 27-28 (2d Cir.2010), and conclude that the City’s arguments lack merit. First, although summary judgment is generally treated as the procedural equivalent of a trial, see S.J. Capelin Assocs., Inc. v. Globe Mfg. Corp., 34 N.Y.2d 338, 341, 357 N.Y.S.2d 478, 313 N.E.2d 776 (1974), AUE’s motion for summary judgment addressed liability alone. Hence, to the extent the motion was the equivalent of a trial for these purposes, it did not address damages or rescission at all. Cf. Reilly v. Natwest Markets Grp. Inc., 181 F.3d 253, 263 (2d Cir.1999) (). AUE cannot be deemed to have elected its ### Response: holding that where plaintiff did not seek to rescind a contract and only sought quantum meruit recovery after a jury had determined an enforceable contract existed plaintiff was limited to recovery under the contract " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: reduction and determining his criminal history category of III, together with a total offense level of 25, resulted in a Guidelines range of seventy to eighty-seven months. It also noted his seventy-month sentence, together with the consecutive firearm sentence of sixty months, resulted in a total sentence of 130 months. Two years later, Congress enacted the Fair Sentencing Act of 2010, which reduced the statutory mandatory minimum sentencing penalties for crack cocaine by significantly reducing the prior crack/powder ratio but which did not apply retroactively to defendants previously sentenced under the prior existing mandatory minimum sentencing statutes. See Pub.L. No. 111-220, 124 Stat. 2372 (Aug. 3, 2010). See also United States v.

Haley's conduct in relue-tantly agreeing to a search of the luggage and refusing to consent to a search of the car is not a cireumstance supporting reasonable suspicion. See United States v. Hunnicutt, 135 F.3d 1345 (10th Cir.1998)(""Any other rule would make a mockery of the reasonable suspicion and probable cause requirements, as well as the consent doctrine. These legal principles would be considerably less effective if citizens' insistence that searches and seizures be conducted in conformity with constitutional norms could create the suspicion or cause that renders their consent unnecessary.""); Karnes, 62 F.3d at 495 (); United States v.

The Third Circuit has held that a defendant’s offer of proof which contains only a conclusory statement alleging falsity does not satisfy the “offer of proof’ requirement of Franks. United States v. Harvey, 2 F.3d 1318, 1328 (3d Cir.1993). Further, the Fifth Circuit in Williams v. Kunze, 806 F.2d 594 (5th Cir.1986), similarly held that a Franks hearing is not mandated where the record is devoid of a sworn statement supporting the defendant’s allegations of falsity. Id. at 599. The Tenth Circuit has stated that a defendant’s allegations of falsity alone do not meet the preliminary burden placed on the defendant under Franks. United States v. Ross, 920 F.2d 1530, 1533 (10th Cir.1990). The Ninth Circuit has even held that the productio Cir.1990) (); United States v.

Kennedy was seeking $18,000 merely to enable Arthur Anderson to assess how much money it then would need to conduct the audit that Kennedy requested. R.O.A. Supp.Vol. 14 (order of 5/4/93 at 5). 8 . In this regard, we distinguish the cases in which the denial of an expert psychiatrist was deemed a due process violation. Those cases recognized that when the defendant's mental state is an important issue and is seriously in question, and when obtaining an accurate assessment of that mental state is uniquely dependant on psychological expertise, an expert psychiatrist indeed becomes a basic and integral tool to presenting an adequate defense. See, e.g., Ake, 470 U.S. at 74, 80-83, 105 S.Ct. at 1091-92, 1094-96 (); United States v. Sloan, 776 F.2d 926, 928-29 ### Response: holding that due process entitled indigent defendant to psychiatrist to present insanity defense and crossexamine state psychiatrists because of the tremendous reliance jurors place on psychiatric testimony where there is often no single accurate psychiatric conclusion on legal insanity " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 1880, 1888 (Fed.Cir.1998). III Turning first to the summary judgment that claims 1 and 3 of the '880 patent were not infringed, we commence our plenary review of that ruling by determining the proper scope of the claims at issue. TurboCare Div. of Demag Delaval Turbomachinery Corp. v. Gen. Elec. Co., 264 F.3d 1111, 1120, 60 USPQ2d 1017, 1024 (Fed. Cir.2001). Claims 1 and 3 of the '880 patent require a “means for causing said at least one laser beam to strike the periphery of the energy zone for visibly outlining said entire energy zone.” The parties agree that those claims at issue are in means-plus-function format and therefore invoke the provisions of 35 U.S.C. § 112, ¶ 6. See Wenger Mfg., Inc. v. Coating Mach. Sys., Inc., 239 F.3d 1225, 1232, 57 USPQ2d 1679, 1684 (Fed.Cir.2001) ().

TMC did not show a probability of success in proving that the Customer List is entitled to trade secret protection pending trial on the merits because of 1) the extent to which the Customer List was known by employees and others involved in the business, 2) the lack of measures taken by AICE to guard the secrecy of the Customer List, and 3) the ease or difficulty with which the Customer List could be properly acquired or duplicated by others. (Emphasis added.) TMC does not challenge specific findings of fact. See McGalliard v. Kuhlmann, 722 S.W.2d 694, 696 (Tex.1986) (); Aldine Indep. Sch. Dist. v.

This Court presumes that the court of appeals followed the directive of the Supreme Court despite the absence of any explicit discussion on the threshold choice of law issue. 41 . The Fifth Circuit does not cite authority to justify this part of its holding. Defendants attempt to distinguish Griffin because there are no funds on deposit withthis Court (or in any court) for any of the Plaintiffs. Other Texas cases establish, however, that the policy proceeds do not have to be located in Texas for the insurable interest doctrine to apply. The doctrine serves to protect the lives of Texas citizens irrespective of the vagaries of the location of the policy proceeds. See Cheeves, 28 S.W. at 275 (); Tamez, 999 S.W.2d at 15 (""[I]t is against ### Response: holding that the primary justification of insurable interest doctrine was that the public has an interest that no inducement shall be offered to one man to take the life of another " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: conclude” that the IJ and the BIA ruled erroneously. See INA § 242(b)(4)(B), 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(42)(A). As Thap has not established that there was any past persecution, there is no presumption that he would be subject to persecution upon returning to Cambodia such that the burden of rebutting that presumption would shift to the government. Therefore, the court finds that Thap cannot establish a clear probability of persecution in Cambodia on the basis of any past persecution to which Thap or his family were subject. We next examine whether Thap can prove that there is a future threat of persecution based on a protected ground should he return to Cambodia. Almuhtaseb, 453 F.3d at 750 (citations omitted); Knezevic v. Ashcroft, 367 F.3d 1206, 1214 (9th Cir.2004) (); 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(b).

Mass Cash does not dispute the lack of dura-tional term in the contract, but it seeks to fit its contract into the category of cases which hold that where a contract contemplates the achievement of a definite end, but is silent as to its duration, a reasonable time is implied based on all relevant evidence. See, e.g., Thermo Electron Corp. v. Schiavone Construction Co., 958 F.2d 1158, 1164 (1st Cir.1992) (); Bushkin Assoc., Inc. v.

JC Penney challenges Bukta’s proposed accommodation, arguing that a part time schedule imposes an undue hardship on its business by eliminating the essential job requirement of attendance. Essential function means the fundamental duties of the position. 29 C.F.R. § 1630.2(n)(l). Attendance can be an essential job function. See Brenneman v.

Moreover, Jones's brief in this action was filed on January 11, 2006, which was over two months after the final judgment was entered and well after the deadline for filing a notice of appeal had expired. See Fed. R.App. P. 4(a)(1)(A). Accordingly, we DISMISS the appeal as to the entry of sanctions. 2 . Jones was terminated in May 2003, but did not file a claim with the EEOC until July 2004, which was well after expiration of the 180-day limitation period enumerated in Title VII. See 42 U.S.C. § 2005e-5(e)(l); 42 U.S.C. § 12117(a). And he made no argument in favor of equitable tolling of the limitation period. Cf. Forehand v. Fla.

In addition, appellant waived his right to a jury trial and understood that once sentences were pronounced, he would not have the opportunity to plea “not guilty” or contest the charges. Appellant’s new counsel filed a motion to withdraw his pleas of guilty and pleas of true prior to the PSI hearing. Appellant stated he had felt pressured by his former attorney to enter the pleas. At the PSI hearing, the trial court allowed argument on this motion. The trial court, exercising its discretion, denied the motion. There is no evidence in the record to show an abuse of discretion by the trial court. See DeVary v. State, 615 S.W.2d 739, 740 (Tex.Crim.App.1981) (); Stancliff v.

Id. Similarly, several other cases relied on by plaintiffs relate to amended rather than supplemental complaints, and thus are not on point. 4 . Recent cases bring into question whether the statutory limitations implicated in these cases are truly jurisdictional or are ""nonjuris-dictional ‘claim-processing rules.’” See Gonzalez v. Thaler, - U.S. -, 132 S.Ct. 641, 648, 181 L.Ed.2d 619 (2012) (noting that in the past, the Court was less than meticulous in rendering statutory language jurisdictional); Henderson ex rel.

The designated evidence submitted in the present ease revealed that the personal injuries suffered by Rainwater in the accident caused severe pain and prevented him from working resulting in severe depression and an addiction to pain medication. Shortly before the suicide, Rainwater called 911, strangled and beat his former spouse, and tried to set the house on fire. After being arrested, Rainwater beat his head and hands on the door of his cell until police subdued him with foam. After that, Rainwater hanged himself in his cell. The resolution of the present case hinges upon determinations of proximate cause and decedent’s state of mind, matters which ordinarily must be decided by the jury and not by way of summary judgment motion. See McKinney, 597 N.E.2d at 1005-06 (); Nelson, 634 N.E.2d at 512 (holding that issue ### Response: holding that issue of whether death was proximately caused by intervenihg and superseding cause was not appropriately resolved by summary judgment " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the issue of whether a grace period, i.e., a period between the recognition of the right to obtain a marriage license and a couples' obligation to do so, might otherwise be warranted.

Thus, the complaint does not allege that an actual or continuing constitutional violation had occurred that could be remedied by judicial action. We emphasize, however, that our holding in this case has no application to constitutional habeas claims brought pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2241. See Jurado-Gutier-rez, 190 F.3d at 1145-47 ().

See Perry, 973 S.W.2d at 309. Of all the considerations set forth in Perry, we believe this factor is the most relevant to the statute at issue in this case because a statute which defines a violation in conditional terms is less likely to support the application of negligence per se than one which provides an absolute, and thus more definite, standard of care. Accordingly, we must determine whether the standard of conduct found in section 61(a) was defined with sufficient clarity to impose tort liability for a violation of that statute. See Perry, 973 S.W.2d at 309. Although article 6701d, entitled “Uniform Act Regulating Traff .App. — Houston [14th Dist.] 1972, no writ) (); Hemphill v.

In this case the evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the State, reveals that this murder falls within the scope of each of the above categories. First, the evidence permits the inference that the killing was physically agonizing to the victim. After shooting the victim four times, defendant repeatedly kicked and pistol-whipped the helpless victim. The victim was conscious and in extreme pain for at least fifteen minutes after the shooting and assault, attempting to talk despite his broken jaw and wounded tongue. See Brown, 315 N.C. at 67, 337 S.E.2d at 828 ().

The answer to the question of whether prejudgment interest may be calculated on attorneys’ fees that have been paid prior to judgment, as in this case, is less than clear, with our sister courts splitting on the issue, and the supreme court remaining silent. The Dallas Court of Appeals has expressly held that .under no circumstances may prejudgment interest be recovered on attorneys’ fees. See Carbona v. CH Med., Inc., 266 S.W.3d 675, 688 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2008, no pet.). However, other courts have taken a less rigid view and have allowed a trial court to award prejudgment interest on attorneys’ fees paid prior to judgment. See Nova Cas. Co. v. Turner Const.

Therefore, this argument also fails to rebut the defendant’s legitimate non-retaliatory reason.

Compl. ¶ 13. The result of the plaintiffs hostile work environment is instructive on this point: if “the complained of conduct in this case does not rise to the level” of a hostile work environment, the plaintiffs argument fails to adequately rebut the defendant’s non-discriminatory reason.

Paz cannot demonstrate that there exists. a reasonable probability that the district court would have imposed a more favorable sentence under an advisory guidelines system. First, the district court, in its discretion, chose to depart upward because Paz’s criminal history category substantially under-represented the seriousness of his criminal history and the likelihood he would commit other crimes.

Thus, even if the issue were preserved for review, we would discern no reversible error. Nor do we see reversible error in the prosecutor’s reaction, in the jury’s presence, to the objection when it came. At the bench conference that followed, counsel for appellant Varela objected to the prosecutor’s “giving his theory of expert testimony in front of the jury.” The court admonished the prosecutor to desist from making such statements in front of the jury. No further relief was requested by any appellant. In the absence of a request for relief, either in the form of a curative instruction or a mistrial, appellants have nothing about which to complain. See Lamb v. State, 141 Md.App. 610, 644-45, 786 A.2d 783 (2001) (). In any event, we are hard pressed to find ### Response: holding that where an objection is sustained and curative instruction given and no further relief such as a mistrial additional curative instruction or striking of the offending comment is requested there is nothing for the appellate court to review " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: add one point to an offender score if it finds by a preponderance of evidence that the defendant was under community custody when he committed the current offense.

Here, the State correctly concedes that no evidence supported this finding. Accordingly, we remand for resentencing. C. Same Criminal Conduct ¶28 Jackson further argues that the sentencing court erred when it declined to hold that his DUI and reckless driving convictions were the same criminal conduct under RCW 9.94A.525(5)(a)(i). He did not raise this issue at the sentencing court and has waived the right to appeal it. In re Pers. Restraint of Shale, 160 Wn.2d 489, 496, 158 P.3d 588 (2007) (). D. Remedy ¶29 The remaining concern is the ### Response: holding that issue waived when the defendant failed to ask the court to make a discretionary call of any factual dispute regarding the issue of same criminal conduct and he did not contest the issue at the trial level " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: discovering their wrongdoing. Davis was not a case where the plaintiff recognized a basis for a lawsuit but was persuaded to forego enforcing her right until after the statute of limitations expired. The policy underlying equitable estoppel would certainly justify its application to the fiduciary relationship allegedly abused in Davis. However, S.A.P. should not be read to let in thro d 1049 (Fla. 4th DCA 1991) (determining insurer equitably estopped from raising statute of limitations defense, when it agreed to appellant's demand to arbitrate, and had helped to pick arbitrators before five-year period for claim proceeding to arbitration ended); Baptist Hosp. of Miami, Inc. v. Carter, 658 So.2d 560 (Fla. 3d DCA 1995), abrogated by May v. Ill. Nat’l Ins. Co., 771 So.2d 1143 (Fla.2000) (); Alachua County v.

Co. v. RCA Alaska Commun., 623 P.2d 1216 (Alaska 1981) (commercial tenant was implied coinsured for limited purpose of defeating insurer’s subrogation claim when lease provision required landlord to obtain and keep in effect insurance on premises). Although an insurance company has the right to recover against a wrongdoer whose conduct has subjected the insurance company to liability, no right of subrogation can arise in favor of an insurer against its own insured. Jindra v. Clayton, 247 Neb. 597, 529 N.W.2d 523 (1995). See, also, Fellmer v. Gruber, 261 N.W.2d 173 (Iowa 1978) (); Housing Inv. Corp. v.

The Court notes that its holding regarding the dichotomy that exists between in kind relief and equalization relief vis-a-vis the classification of a pre-petition equitable distribution right is not all that novel since at least one other court has also found such a dichotomy to exist, see In re Emelity, 251 B.R. 151, 154-157 (Bankr.S.D.Cal.2000), although such court’s analysis differs from this Court’s in other regards, see Id. (). Also, so as to compare this Court’s decision ### Response: holding that a prepetition equitable distribution right to equalization relief constitutes a discharged prepetition claim and distinguishing while agreeing with in re marriage of seligman 14 calapp4th 300 18 calrptr2d 209 214215 1993 wherein it was held that a prepetition equitable distribution right to in kind relief does not constitute a prepetition claim " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: provision will include Buyer, Seller and Broker, will be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees costs and expenses. However, as Regency pointed out, it is not a party to the Contract. According to the language of the Contract, the “prevailing party” only pertains to the “Buyer, Seller, or Broker.” P.C.D.’s reliance on authority enlarging the meaning of the word “party” is misplaced because the courts in those cases are referring to parties to a lawsuit, not parties to a contract. See, e.g., Lage v. Blanco, 521 So.2d 299, 300 (3d DCA Fla. 1988). The fact that Regency may have had some rights arising from the Contract due to its status as first lienholder does not make Regency a formal party to the Contract. See, Gwen Fearing Real Estate, Inc. v. Wilson, 430 So.2d 589, 591 (4th DCA Fla.1983)(). Likewise, seeking its own affirmative relief ### Response: holding broker not a party to a purchase contract and therefore not liable for attorneys fees even though provision providing for payment of the brokers commission was contained in the contract " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: v. Cont'l Cas. Co., 732 A.2d 1236, 1248 (Pa.Super.1999). As such, JNOV is only proper where, when viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict winner, the facts are so clear that reasonable minds could not disagree that the verdict was improper. Burton-Lister, 798 A.2d at 236. “JNOV ... may not be employed to invade the province of the jury.... Thus, where the jury has been presented with conflicting evidence, a motion for JNOV should be denied.” Rohm & Haas Co., 732 A.2d at 1248 (internal citations omitted). Initially, we observe that Tube City presents no argument in support of its claim that the trial court should have entered JNOV on the negligent misrepresentation count, and so we will not consider it. See Owens v. Mazzei, 847 A.2d 700, 705-06 (Pa.Super.2004) (). With regard to fraud, Tube City argues that ### Response: holding that the superior court will not address an issue presented in the statement of questions involved where no corresponding analysis is included in the brief " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Japan was not satisfied. 15 . In Byrd, the defense counsel ""did not reveal the name of the individual officer, nor turn over log books, as had been requested by plaintiff's counsel.” See the case cited supra note 11. In fact, the defense counsel in Byrd did not comply with the plaintiff's repeated requests and disclose the name of the new defendant until after the limitations period ran. Id. 16 . The Court concluded that Enron failed to establish that relief was warranted under Cornwell. The Cornwell court held that when a plaintiff possessed information related to an added defendant's identity and its involvement in the alleged transactions, there is no mistake in identity and the failure to have named that new defendant is considered “a matter of choice.” Cornwell, 23 F.3d at 705 (). In reaching its conclusion, the Cornwell ### Response: holding that cornwell was not required to sue them and her failure to do so in the original complaint in light of her obvious knowledge and the detailed nature of that pleadings exhibit must be considered a matter of choice not mistake " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: requires proof of both knowledge and intent by any person who makes a “knowing concealment, suppression, or omission of any material fact with intent that others rely upon such concealment, suppression or omission...” N.J.S.A. 56:8-2; Gennari v.

Ma ndividual reliance, but does not require proof that such reliance was reasonable. Parks v. Macro-Dynamics, Inc., 121 Ariz. 517, 591 P.2d 1005 (1972). North Carolina requires proof of “actual” and “detrimental” reliance upon defendant’s misrepresentations, from which it may be inferred that such reliance need not necessarily be reasonable.

The policy originally was with CNA Personal Insurance, the predecessor in interest of Encompass. 4 . The numerical figures were apparently added by the insurance agent, per an instruction on the form. 5 . The General Assembly subsequently increased the minimum coverage amounts to their current levels. Chapter 441, Laws of Maryland 2010 (raising minimum personal injury liability coverage to $30,000 per person up to $60,000 per accident); Chapter 681, Laws of Maryland 1999 (raising minimum property damage coverage to $15,000). 6 . Even if a waiver is executed by the ""first named insured,” it is ineffective if the insurer’s notice of the effect of the waiver is deficient. IN § 19-510(c); cf. Nationwide Mutual Ins. Co. v. Powell, 292 F.3d 201 (4th Cir.2002) (). In this case, however, Petitioners apparently ### Response: holding that waiver of um coverage was ineffective under south carolina law because insurer did not adequately advise insured party about um coverage " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: under the remainder aggregate rule, be deemed to have increased the sentence, the total time Weingarten will serve is the same under the new sentence as under the previous one. The district court’s conclusion that its initial aggregate sentence was still appropriate is understandable, given its finding that the factual mosaic and the “central factor[s]” that “[bore] on the imposition o[fj the appropriate sentence remained] the same.” While we can imagine a record that would support a finding of vindictiveness where the district court imposed the same total sentence after the reversal of certain counts reduced the extent of the harm legally attributable to the defendant, this is not that case. Cf. Greenlaw v. United States, 554 U.S. 237, 253-54, 128 S.Ct. 2559, 171 L.Ed.2d 399 (2008) ().

Appellant concedes that his substantive due process, right-to-counsel, and right-to-appeal claims fail if we reject his facial challenge to the statute’s constitutionality. Appellant’s Brief at 34. Accordingly, in light of our disposition, we need not address these claims. See Turner, 80 A.3d at 764 (). 9 . The PCRA court also attributes some blame ### Response: holding that because process is not an end in itself once a court has found that the petitioner does not have a valid liberty interest a challenge to both procedural and substantive due process must fail " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: neither did Mr. Bowen. ¶ 30. Bowen does not require an independent action seeking partition. Mr. Myers already had a request for a sale properly before the chancellor. A remand in order to obtain another is superfluous. ¶ 31. Additionally, the majority suggests that to enforce a partition here would subvert longstanding public policy encouraging marriage. I do not find that the public policy arguments in favor of marriage impact on whether a spouse may seek the partition by sale of a financially burdensome marital home. Joint owners of property, even spouses not contemplating divorce, are entitled to seek partition of property. Miss.Code Ann. § 11-21-8 (Supp.2002), Trigg v. Trigg, 498 So.2d 334, 335-36 (Miss.1986).

Plaintiffs respond that Morrison is alleged to have made a representation in his written opinion regarding the reverse merger in which he opined that all the requirements and SEC regulations had been complied with and that good and valuable consideration had been paid by all the alleged purchasers of the Literary Playpen, Inc. stock. The court concludes that the alleged misrepresentations in Morrison’s opinion letter are sufficient for the purposes of a motion to dismiss. Such allegations are sufficient since under Iowa law fraudulent misrepresentation claims may be based on statements made to third parties. See Clark v. McDaniel, 546 N.W.2d 590, 593 (Iowa 1996) (). Therefore, this portion of Morrison’s motion ### Response: holding that no direct contractual relationship is required between the alleged tortfeasor and the person who justifiably relies to his or her detriment on the alleged tortfeasors representations because under restatement second of torts section 533 1977 hereinafter restatement persons who fraudulently misrepresent the truth can be held liable to third parties if they have a reason to expect their misrepresentation will be communicated to third parties " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: view of the sexual innocence inference theory. Thus, Oatts was required to show that the prior sexual act occurred and that the prior sexual act was sufficiently similar to the present sexual act to give the victim the knowledge to imagine the molestation charge. Here, Oatts failed to show that the prior acts closely resembled those in the present case. Oatts’s attorney did not proffer any evidence that the prior molestation was similar to the current offense. Oatts’s attorney stated that the “similarities of the allegations are very, very close” and the current allegation “is that Mr. Oatts touched [A.S.] while they were in bed together, and in fact Tony touched [A.S.] while she was in bed.” Transcript at 120.

Davis met D.B. on the street. Davis then booked a room at the hotel and posted an ad to Backpage.com featuring a picture taken of D.B. in a room at the hotel — from this a jury could reasonably infer Davis spent time with D.B. that day taking her picture for the ad. And on the very next day, Davis brought D.B. to Rivera, introduced her to Rivera, and then drove the two to the hotel. Viewing this ■ evidence in the light most favorable to the government, we conclude any rational jury could have found Davis had a reasonable opportunity to observe D.B.

California Penal Code section 602(n) defines refusal to leave property occupied by another as a form of trespass. The statute “envisions an originally innocent entry, followed by an unlawful sojourn after refusal of requests to leave.” Medrano, 144 Cal.Rptr. at 227-28. The location of Blair Field within a public park supports the plaintiffs’ contention that the property was open to the public. See Denney v. Takaoka, 1993 WL 96602, *5, C-92-0818 FMS (N.D.Cal.

At the same time, courts have noted that “in cases where the likelihood of legal action is not clear from the language, the letter’s source can be determinative, especially if it purports to be from an attorney.” Jenkins v. Union Corp., 999 F.Supp. 1120 (N.D.Ill.1998). “Because to most consumers, the relevant distinction between a collection agency and an attorney is the ability to sue,” a letter signed by an attorney signals to the unsophistcated consumer that legal action is at hand. United States v. Nat’l Fin. Servs., 98 F.3d 131, 136-37 (4th Cir.1996); see Russey v. Rankin, 911 F.Supp. 1449, 1454 (D.N.M. 1995) ().

When applying that doctrine, we always must keep in mind two distinct policy justifications that bear on the answer to that issue. The first is that the predicate for Oregon’s exclusionary rule is the court’s responsibility to vindicate the invasion by the police of a defendant’s personal rights under Article I, section 9, in obtaining evidence. This court has held that an individual’s personal right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures under that provision also embraces a right to deny the state any ability to use evidence obtained in violation of that right to convict the individual of a crime. See State v. Davis, 313 Or 246, 249, 834 P2d 1008 (1992) ().

Nevertheless, as the district court found, these desires do not constitute implied promises. Ahn acknowledges that a promise of secrecy was not expressed in the plea agreement. The agreement did, however, include an integration clause, which specifically stated that no other agreements or promises existed between the parties. Standing alone, such a clause would be strong evidence that no implied promises existed' — after all, integration clauses “establish that the written plea bargain was ‘adopted by the parties as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement.’ ” United States v.

Conclusion Because the bankruptcy court did not take into account all of the factors that it ought to have weighed and because it did not place the ultimate burden of establishing the § 523(a)(15)(B) exception on the debtor, we must vacate the decision of the district court and remand the case to that court with instructions to remand it to the bankruptcy court for new factual findings made under the proper burden of proof. Therefore, we vacate the judgment of the district court with directions that the case be remanded to the bankruptcy court for further consideration consistent with this opinion. Vacated And Remanded. 1 . Cf. Farrey v. Sanderfoot, 500 U.S. 291, 111 S.Ct. 1825, 114 L.Ed.2d 337 (1991) ().

Plaintiffs argue that the 2013 Agreement’s arbitration provision is unenforceable in its entirety because it is unconscionable under California law. The Court agrees. 1. Procedwral Unconscionability For largely the same reasons that this Court held the delegation clause in the 2013 Agreement was procedurally unconscionable, the entire 2013 arbitration provision is procedurally unconscionable as well. Under any standard, the 2013 Agreement’s opt-out provision was illusory because it was highly inconspicuous and incredibly onerous to comply with.

In defining and applying ""essential expenses,” Cloud relies on the Santos plurality’s reasoning that the term ""proceeds” excludes any payout to a co-conspirator. Id. at 403-09. We have not interpreted Santos so broadly, relying instead on Justice Stevens’s case-by-case approach. See, e.g., Wilkes, 662 F.3d at 549.

See State v.

The vicarious liability, it argues, arose because Universal “has the right to police the infringements” of T-Funk. It, however, has not supported this assertion with evidence. While Universal entered into an exclusive publishing agreement with Hutton, the agreement merely provides Universal with the right to own and exploit his works, not to control his song writing activities.

In Jones, the Supreme Court emphasizes that the amount and nature of notice required by due process must take into account “unique information about an intended recipient regardless of whether a statutory scheme is reasonably calculated to provide notice in the ordinary case.” Jones, 126 S.Ct. at 1716. A fiduciary relationship between the government and the intended recipient certainly constitutes such “unique information” — especially in light of other relationships that have been consistently held to increase the government’s notice obligations. Where, for example, the notice recipient is a ward of the state (such as a prisoner), the government has been held to a higher standard of notice. See, e.g., Weng v.

Finally, even if Appellees’ failure to identify C.G. Smith and produce her statement was untimely, this conduct is not sanctionable, as the evidence is not germane to the merits of this case. As discussed above, because the evidence shows that C.G. Smith did not provide her statement to the District Attorney until after Ard’s assault, the statement has no bearing on whether Rushing or Lincoln County acted with deliberate indifference. “An appellate court need be involved [in discovery rulings] only when a party’s substantial rights have been prejudiced and the proceeding would have turned out differently had the evidence been disclosed.” Bass v.

To the contrary, the district court’s ruling that the bankruptcy court’s September 30, 1993 disbursement order was a “money judgment,” and not a mandatory injunction, ensured continuation of the controversy, i.e., preserving the issue of whether the Government is entitled to set off the $8.36 million now in the registry account against the claims of the Government agencies. Even under the most relaxed concept of finality, the October 19, 1993 order of the district court granting the Government a Rule 62(d) stay pending appeal cannot be viewed as the equivalent of a final order.

Am. Compl. at ¶ 36. Even assuming that plaintiffs resignation was occasioned by conduct “so outrageous in character and so extreme in degree, as to go beyond all possible bounds of decency, and to be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community,” plaintiff failed to identify a specific statute which defendants violated by asking her to report to work in the District of Columbia.

As assistant coaches and an athletic trainer, Defendants Palladino, Mr. Ducar, Ms. Ducar, and Prentice were not Defendant Dorrance’s supervisors and had no authority over his behavior. In the absence of legal control over Defendant Dorrance, these Defendants’ reporting omissions cannot be said to have affirmatively caused the alleged deprivation of Plaintiffs’ constitutional rights. Therefore, the § 1983, failure-to-report claims against Defendants Palladino, Mr. Ducar, Ms. Ducar, and Prentice must be dismissed. See Reid v.

[E]vidence of any other unlawful activity is not used to show that someone has the capacity to commit a crime.” Having withdrawn his objection to the admission of his prior-arson reference, defendant did not object to this instruction or request any supplementation or alteration to its wording. As a result, this instruction became the law of the case. See, e.g., State v. Giordano, 413 A.2d 93, 94 (R.I.1980). Hence we must not only presume that the jury followed this instruction, but also we will not allow defendant to complain about the adequacy of this charge on appeal when he failed to do so at the trial.

The complaint describes a controversy that did not arise out of the termite agreement. In their brief to this Court, the Orkin defendants argue that “the fact that the termite [agreement] [was] entered into after the ‘termite letter’ [was] prepared is of no legal significance.” We disagree. The Orkin defendants cite no authority for such a broad interpretation of the “thereafter arising” language of § 2 of the FAA, and we know of no authority that could provide such a broad interpretation. It would be a strained reading of the FAA as well as circuitous log 1255, 1258 (9th Cir.1981) ().

Thus, to prove constitutional standing, a plaintiff must show that it has suffered a cognizable “injury-in-fact” that has been caused by the defendant and is redressable by the court. See generally, Nulankeyutmonen Nkihtaqmikon v. Impson, 503 F.3d 18, 26-27 (1st Cir.2007); Nisselson v. Lernout, 469 F.3d 143, 150 (1st Cir.2006).

This paragraph essentially indicates that the defendant acknowledges that he’s been advised of his rights to appeal only in very limited circumstances and that he will not be allowed to challenge his conviction under Title 28, 2255; and Title 18, Section 3742; however, he is reserving the right to appeal any punishment in excess of the statutory maximum. THE COURT: And the statutory maximum in this case, Mr. McIntyre, at least with respect to Count 3, is 240 months. MR. WELDON: That is correct. THE COURT: You understand that? THE DEFENDANT: Yes, sir. The record thus demonstrates that the district court made McIntyre fully aware of the waiver of his appellate rights regarding his sentence and thus complied with Rule ll(b)(l)(N). Cf.

Thus, these courts have viewed “complete preemption” as a prerequisite to the application of the “artful pleading doctrine”.

After the unions filed an unfair labor practice charge against Peterbilt, the Board’s Regional Director filed a complaint alleging unlawful nondisclosure of relevant bargaining information and unlawful lockout under the Act. See 29 U.S.C. § 158(a)(1), (a)(5), (d) (prohibiting employers from “interfer[ing] with, restrain[ing], or eoerc[ing] employees in the exercise of’ their collective-bargaining rights and requiring good-faith negotiations); NLRB v.

In the absence of definitions in the. RTKL for either “noncriminal” or “investigation,” we have concluded .that “noncriminal” applies to investigations- other than those which are criminal in nature and that “investigation” means “a systematic or searching inquiry, a detailed examination, or an official probe.” Dep’t of Health v. Office of Open Records, 4 A.3d 803, 810-811 (Pa. Cmwlth. 2010). The inquiry, examination, or probe must be “conducted as part , of the agency’s official duties.” Id. at 814. See also Dep’t of Pub.

Thus summary judgment on the basis of qualified immunity would be inappropriate if the intent was to arrest or if facts as to intent are in dispute. A genuine dispute exists as to whether or not defendants ordered the storming of the house primarily for the purpose of arresting Quade. The fact that this dispute turns on an essentially subjective element (the officers’ purpose), while qualified immunity involves an inquiry into “objective reasonableness” does not mean that qualified immunity is any more or less available in this context than it would otherwise be. See Branch v. Tunnell, 937 F.2d 1382, 1385 (9th Cir.1991) (Branch I) (); Sloman v.

Id. at 716. Similarly, Plaintiffs in this case assert that the “sound associated with Plaintiffs’ ‘What I Like About You’ is part and parcel of who they are as entertainers.” (Pis.’ Mot. at 9.) Their claim is therefore that their “sound in connection with the music, lyrics and arrangement” is distinctive. Plaintiffs have presented no evidence that their sound is identifiable separate from the Song. The Court therefore reaches the same conclusion as the Sinatra court and holds that Plaintiffs’ claim must fail. 2.

He filed a § 2241 application for a writ of habeas corpus, urging the federal district court to stop the state criminal prosecution. See Walck v. Edmondson, 472 F.3d 1227, 1235 (10th Cir.2007) (). The § 2241 application asserted five claims: ### Response: holding 2241 is the proper avenue by which to challenge pretrial detention " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: the Department of Labor’s regulations were a permissible interpretation of § 196-d. See N.Y. Lab. Law § 199 (authorizing Department of Labor Commissioner to issue rules and regulations for enforcing state laws governing employers’ payment of wages to employees); Samiento v. World Yacht Inc., 10 N.Y.3d at 79, 854 N.Y.S.2d at 88, 883 N.E.2d 990 (instructing that “Labor Department’s interpretation of a statute it is charged with enforcing is entitled to deference” pursuant to general administrative law principle that “construction given statutes and regulations by the agency responsible for their administration, if not irrational or unreasonable, should be upheld”). See generally Golf v. N.Y. State Dep’t. of Soc. Servs., 91 N.Y.2d 656, 667, 674 N.Y.S.2d 600, 605, 697 N.E.2d 555 (1998) ().

Additionally, Rule 412 also would bar the admission of this evidence. When a party seeks to offer evidence that “someone other than the defendant was the source of semen, injury, or other physical evidence,” the party is required to file a motion describing the proposed evidence at least fourteen days before trial and to notify the victim of the proposed evidence. Fed.R.Evid. 412(c)(1). Here, Brown Thunder neglected to file a Rule 412 motion and failed to notify H.C. or her guardian or representative of the proposed Speker evidence. See United States v.

Id. at 24, ¶ 27, 170 P.3d at 273 (citing Terry, 392 U.S. at 19-20, 88 S.Ct. 1868). ¶ 46 The second detention started when Officer Craft grabbed Appellant’s arm and informed him he was being detained. Men-denhall, 446 U.S. at 553, 100 S.Ct. 1870 (A person is “seized” within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment only when by means of physical force or show of authority his freedom of movement is restrained.). Because Officer Craft and Appellant were engaged in a consensual encounter immediately prior to this point, Appellant was not seized and the Fourth Amendment was not implicated. United States v.

Alvarado, 897 S.W.2d at 752. Submission of an immaterial issue is not harmful unless it confuses or misleads the jury, which we determine by considering its probable effect on the jury in light of the charge as a whole. Id. Here, reading the charge as a whole, we do not find that the question submitted was ambiguous or misleading. The question asked the jury to determine separately the negligence of the Bowens and Crow-son. A finding that the Bowens were not the proximate cause of the occurrence in question exonerated them from liability. Consequently, the question pertaining to Crowson’s negligence was immaterial — in other words, any answer pertaining to Crowson’s negligence would not have altered the verdict. See Alvarado, 897 S.W.2d at 752-53 (). Furthermore, putting the findings on ### Response: holding question of contributory negligence was harmless because once jury found defendant did not proximately cause the occurrence in question defendant was exonerated of liability such that neither an affirmative nor a negative answer to plaintiffs negligence could have altered the verdict " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “shall” in subsection (b) of F.L. § 5-1029 is obligatory, not permissive. Indeed, the word “shall” is used throughout F.L. § 5-1029 in its mandatory sense, with the word “may” being used when permissive action is implied, in explicit contrast to the word “shall.” Moreover, as we have explained, the historical context of the enactment of what is now F.L. § 5-1029 indicates that with respect to the alleged father in a paternity action, the testing afforded by that section upon motion has been referred to and treated as mandatory. To be sure, the Court of Appeals in child custody cases and in cases brought under the Estates and Trusts Article has held that it is within the discretion of the court to permit blood or genetic testing. See Monroe v. Monroe, 329 Md. 758, 621 A.2d 898 (1993)(); Turner v. Whisted, supra, 327 Md. 106, 607 ### Response: holding that in domestic law custody case blood tests to determine paternity of child born out of wedlock may only be ordered upon a showing of good cause under the best interest of the child standard " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: premises Coleman’s quiet title action on his contention that certain of the loan documents contain forged signatures. (Doc. No. 1-1 at 16.) Coleman does not dispute that he signed some documents at Fairway Financial, but he does dispute the validity of his signatures on the Balloon Note and TIL Disclosure Statement. (Doc. No. 46-1 at ¶¶ 6-7, 43.) Wells Fargo argues both that Coleman has, consistently with the evidence presented at the preliminary injunction hearing, failed to create a genuine dispute of material fact with regard to the validity of the signatures, and ictions for the proposition at least some quiet title actions are unburdened by a statute of limitations as long as the challenged cloud on the title persists. See, e.g., Bangerter v. Petty, 225 P.3d 874, 879 (Utah 2009) (); Salazar v.

And she must, in good faith, make every effort to require [the child] to do so.” (emphases added)). 10 . Because we find this issue is dispositive, we decline to reach Mother’s arguments regarding admitting evidence and limiting cross-examination. See Futch v. McAllister Towing of Georgetown, Inc., 335 S.C. 598, 613, 518 S.E.2d 591, 598 (1999) (noting an appellate court need not address remaining issues on appeal when the resolution of a prior issue is dispositive). Moreover, our decision on those two issues would not change the ultimate disposition of this case. See Weir v. Citicorp Nat. Servs., Inc., 312 S.C. 511, 517, 435 S.E.2d 864, 868 (1993) (); Recco Tape and Label Co. v.

This determination was in error. The Act provides, in relevant part, that the assignment of a claim may be made “after a claim is allowed, the amount of the claim is decided, and a warrant for payment of the claim has been issued.” Id. § 3727(b). In effect, the Act serves as a defense that the Government can raise against a claim and not, as the district court’s analysis indicates, an ex ante bar to forming a contingency-fee agreement. See, e.g., United States v. Transocean Air Lines, Inc., 386 F.2d 79, 82 (5th Cir.1968) (); see also Applegate v.

Walton III allowed Walton to irrigate the 30 acres put into irrigation by his predecessors, but found that a delay of 23 years was not appropriation within a reasonable time, for the remaining acreage. Id. The parties generally agree that under Walton III the Court may look to Washington law for guidance in determining whether a non-Lummi has exercised due diligence to perfect a Winters right transferred with the sale of allotted lands. E.g. Lummi Brief, docket no. 718, at 32 (“Washington law provides guidance for a determination of reasonable diligence and suggests that a successor must put water to use within fifteen years of the parcel leaving Indian ownership.”); see also Walton III, 752 F.2d at 400 ().

Moreover, we determine probable cause by an objective standard of reasonableness: whether the known facts and circumstances are sufficient to warrant a person of reasonable prudence in the belief that contraband or evidence of crime will be found. See State v. Craven, 253 Neb. 601, 571 N.W.2d 612 (1997). Here, Reilly had probable cause to search the car because of the dog’s alert. A dog’s identification of drugs in luggage or in a car provides probable cause that drugs are present. U.S. v. Bloomfield, 40 F.3d 910 (8th Cir. 1994). But a person’s mere proximity to others independently suspected of criminal activity does not, without more, give rise to probable cause to search that person. See Ybarra v. Illinois, 444 U.S. 85, 100 S. Ct. 338, 62 L. Ed. 238 (1979) ().

Accordingly, the plaintiff failed to exhaust her administrative remedies with respect to the Federal Defendants and her Title VII and ADEA claims fail on this independent basis. See Johnson v. Ashcroft, No. 00-cv-2743, 2001 WL 34366564, at *3 (D.D.C. June 21, 2001) (dismissing for failure to exhaust administrative remedies where the plaintiff did “not name either of the federal defendants” in the plaintiffs EEOC complaint). The plaintiffs Complaint also asserts a claim of wrongful discharge related to her termination. Yet, Title VII and the ADEA provide the exclusive remedy for federal employees alleging race and age discrimination. See Brown v.

If Congress imposes a “condition on the grant of federal moneys, it must do so unambiguously;” otherwise, the State cannot “voluntarily and knowingly accept[ ] the terms of the ‘contract.’ ” Id. Spending clause legislation, when knowingly accepted by a fund recipient, imposes enforceable, affirmative obligations upon the states. See Wheeler v. Barrera, 417 U.S. 402, 427, 94 S.Ct. 2274, 41 L.Ed.2d 159 (1974), modified on another ground, 422 U.S. 1004, 95 S.Ct. 2625, 45 L.Ed.2d 667 (1975) (); King, 392 U.S. at 333, 88 S.Ct. 2128; see ### Response: recognizing that states and local agencies must fulfill their part of a spending clause contract if they choose to accept the funds " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: which a fair-minded jury could find that intentional racial discrimination on the part of the Defendants caused Andromeda to close. See Denny, 456 F.3d at 434. Accordingly, the Court will dismiss Count III. VI. Supplemental Jurisdiction The rulings above dispose of Plaintiffs’ federal claims. The state law claims (Counts VI-V) remain. This Court could retain the state law claims only by exercising its supplemental jurisdiction. This case does not, however, present a compelling reason for this Court to decide claims that arise solely under state law. Accordingly, the Court dismisses Counts VI-V. The dismissal is without prejudice so that they may be refilled in state court if Plaintiffs so elect. See 28 U.S.C. § 1367(c); Revene v. Charles County Commr’s, 882 F.2d 870, 875 (4th Cir.1989) ().

To qualify for relief under the CAT, an applicant must establish that it is “more likely than not that he or she would be tortured if removed to the proposed country of removal.” 8 C.F.R. § 1208.16(c)(2). As noted above, there is no evidence of past torture inflicted upon Funes, and, while Guatemala’s human rights record remains poor, there is no evidence of “gross, flagrant or mass violations of human rights” of the sort that would entitle Funes to CAT relief. The IJ’s finding that it is not more likely than not that Funes would be tortured if removed to Guatemala is supported by substantial evidence. Cf. Nuru v.

On the record before it, however, the Court ### Response: holding that the state courts conclusion that statements to dr appleton were nontestimonial because they were made for purposes of diagnosis and treatment rather than to inculpate was not an unreasonable application of the legal principle established by crawford " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief.” Conley v. Gibson, 355 U.S. 41, 45-46, 78 S.Ct. 99, 2 L.Ed.2d 80 (1957). Here, Plaintiffs are the nonmoving party. II. DISCUSSION Defendants move to dismiss Plaintiffs’ consolidated, amended complaint on several grounds, the first of which is that Plaintiffs’ claims are barred by the applicable statute of limitations. Section 13 of the 1933 Securities Act provides that a federal securities fraud action must be brought within one year following the discovery of the untrue statement or omission giving rise to the claim. 15 U.S.C. § 77m; see also Lampf, Pleva, Lipkind, Prupis & Petigrow v. Gilbertson, 501 U.S. 350, 364, 111 S.Ct. 2773, 115 L.Ed.2d 321 (1991) (); Theoharous v.

The proposed class therefore lacks the geographic diversity that favors a finding of numerosity. Finally, the Plaintiffs have not established that all fifty potential plaintiffs were deprived of compensation and would be able to participate in the litigation. Despite these concerns, case law demonstrates that plaintiffs may establish that join-der would be impracticable with as few as fifty members. See In re Thornburg Mortg. Inc. Sec. Litig., 912 F.Supp.2d 1178, 1234 (D.N.M.2012) (Browning, J.)(citing Robidoux v. Celani, 987 F.2d at 936 (“[T]he difficulty in joining as few as 40 class members should raise a presumption that joinder is impracticable.”)); Lopez v. City of Santa Fe, 206 F.R.D. at 289 (citing Olenhouse v. Commodity Credit Corp., 136 F.R.D. 672, 679 (D.Kan.1991) ()). The Court has not refused to certify a class ### Response: holding that joinder is impracticable where the class consisted of at least fifty members " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: CURIAM. Defendant Phillip Davis pleaded guilty to two counts of distributing controlled substances in violation of 21 U.S.C. § 841, and the district court sentenced him to 120 months of imprisonment. The sole issue on appeal is whether the district court erred in designating Davis as a “career offender” pursuant to U.S. Sentencing Guidelines § 4B1.1 in light of Johnson v. United States, — U.S. —, 135 S.Ct. 2551, 192 L.Ed.2d 569 (2015) (invalidating as unconstitutionally vague the “residual clause” of the Armed Career Criminal Act, 18 U.S.C. § 924(e)).

Id. at 398. “Specifically, the savings clause provides that ERISA’s preemption provision ‘shall not be construed to alter, amend, modify, invalidate, impair, or supersede any law of the United States.’ ” /¿.(quoting 29 U.S.C. § 1144(d)(1998)). The Court then cited Gurry’s analysis with approval for the proposition that nothing in § 34-34 conflicts with ERISA. Id. at 399. Judge Payne recognized that the Bankruptcy Code explicitly contemplated that “state laws have a central role in defining applicable exemptions to be made in protecting property of the estate from the reach of lding Missouri statute that exempted pension plan benefits from bankruptcy estate was not preempted due to savings clause); In re Dyke, 943 F.2d 1435 (5th Cir.1991) ().

Tennessee common law, however, only requires a showing that the employee’s refusal to perform an illegal act was a substantial factor in the employer’s decision. 3.Most Significant Relationship Test Texas courts resolve conflicts of law in tort claims by applying the “most significant relationship” test set forth in the Restatement (Second) of Conflicts of Laws. See Gutierrez v. Collins, 583 S.W.2d 312, 318-19 (Texas 1979) (“[I]t is the holding of this court that in the future all conflicts cases sounding in tort will be governed by the ‘most significant relationship’ test as enunciated in Sections 6 and 145 of the Restatement (Second) of Conflicts.”); see also Safeshred, Inc. v. Martinez, 365 S.W.3d 655, 661 (Tex.2012) ().

A. From him. From him hurting my mom. Q. Your mom told you about that, didn’t she? A. No. I was there. As indicated above, the definition of domestic abuse includes “the infliction of fear of imminent physical harm or bodily injury.” SDCL 25-10-1(1). Whether Erica’s fear was irrational, as the trial court concluded, must be analyzed in light of her knowledge of her father’s violent history: [The victim’s] state of mind could very well have been the product, in part at least, of her past interactions with appellant. The fear she claimed to have felt and the reasonableness of that fear could and should be determined with reference to her history with appellant. Eichenberger v. Eichenberger, 82 Ohio App.3d 809, 613 N.E.2d 678, 682 (1992); see also Gordon, 553 N.E.2d at 921 ().

Bernklau v. Principi, 291 F.3d 795, 804 (Fed.Cir.2002) (quoting Landgraf, 511 U.S. at 270, 114 S.Ct. 1483). The Supreme Court's opinion in Landgraf stresses repeatedly the concern that private rights not be retroactively burdened. See Landgraf, 511 U.S. at 265, 114 S.Ct. 1483 (""[ejlementary considerations of fairness dictate that individuals should have an opportunity to know what the law is and to conform their conduct accordingly” (emphasis added)), 282 (”[t]he introduction of a right to compensatory damages is also the type of legal change that would have an impact on private parties’ planning” (emphasis added)); see also id. at 266, 271, 272, 284, 114 S.Ct. 1483. 4 .

App. 4th 135, 140, 10 Cal.Rptr.3d 333 (2004) (citing Kasky v. Nike, Inc., 27 Cal.4th 939, 967, 119 Cal.Rptr.2d 296, 45 P.3d 243 (2002)). Typically, commercial speech is “speech that does no more than propose a commercial transaction.” Rezec, 116 Cal. App. 4th at 141, 10 Cal.Rptr.3d 333 (internal citations omitted). The Court finds that the assurances made by RCHSD’s staff do not constitute commercial speech. However, because Ms. Prescott has sufficiently alleged a UCL claim, based on the alleged misrepresentations on RCHSD’s website, RCHSD’s motion to dismiss her UCL claim is denied. ii. Standing on Behalf of Decedent Ms. Prescott has standing, as an individual representative, to bring k “UCR” Rates Litig., 903 F.Supp.2d 880, 898 (C.D. Cal. 2012) ().

Id. at 81. Tatarinov sought habeas relief in federal court, but the district court denied his petition. The adequate and independent state ground doctrine bars federal courts from considering a federal constitutional argument on habeas review if “a state court declined to address a prisoner’s federal claims because the prisoner had failed to meet a state procedural requirement.” Coleman v. Thompson, 501 U.S. 722, 730, 111 S.Ct. 2546, 115 L.Ed.2d 640 (1991). The Oregon Court of Appeals rejected Ta-tarinov’s claim based on its consideration of the equitable interests of the parties in his case, which is independent of federal law. See Nitschke v. Belleque, 680 F.3d 1105, 1108 (9th Cir.2012) (). The Oregon plain error rule is also an ### Response: holding that oregons plain error review is independent of state law " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: under U.S.S.G. § 5K2.13, but refused to do so because it interpreted the Guidelines to prohibit a departure where, as here, the crime involved actual violence. Because the district court rested its decision on an issue of law, this court has jurisdiction to review its decision, and its decision is subject to de novo review. Section 5K2.13 states that “the court may not depart below the applicable guideline range if ... (2) the facts and circumstances of the defendant’s offense indicate a need to protect the public because the offense involved actual violence or a serious threat of violence.” U.S.S.G. § 5K2.13 (1998) (emphasis added). The Guidelines thus prohibit departure where the offense involved actual violence. Accord United States v. Thames, 214 F.3d 608, 614 (5th Cir.2000) ().

Accordingly, if the court determines that the VWPA should apply to this case, it must use the old version to avoid running afoul of the Ex Post Facto Clause. See United States v. Thompson, 113 F.3d 13, 15 n. 1 (2d Cir.1997) (dictum). Baggett, 125 F.3d at 1322. Accord, United States v.

Because there is no case or controversy between the Oil Companies and the named appellants over this issue, the district court had no authority to reach this issue before ruling on certification. Nevertheless, despite this apparent flaw in the district court’s order, I agree with the majority’s conclusion that we lack the authority to vacate the ruling because there is no appealable order before us. 1 .

See Petersen v. Klos, 426 F.2d 199, 202 (5th Cir.1970) (recognizing that “that the Mississippi comparative negligence statute, ‘is part of the substantive law of Mississippi’”) (citations omitted). The Mississippi Supreme Court similarly considers the right to contribution among tortfeasors to be substantive. Estate of Hunter v. GMC, 729 So.2d 1264, 1276 (Miss.1999). Furthermore, courts from other states consistently hold that laws on apportionment of fault are substantive, not merely procedural. See, e.g., Matter of Oil Spill by Amoco Cadiz Off Coast of France on March 16, 1978, 954 F.2d 1279, 1992 A.M.C. 913, 35 Fed.R.Evid. Serv. 1204, 22 Envtl. L. Rep. 20835 (7th Cir.1992) (); Clawans v.

Harmon, 742 F.3d 451, 459 (10th Cir.2014) (discussing Giglio rule). 2 . The defendants’ summary judgment briefs did contain some passing references to immunity. They argued that they did not lose the absolute immunity connected with the fulfillment of their duties under Giglio merely because third parties disseminated the Giglio materials to the police chiefs, the newspaper, and the website. The district court never reached this argument, because it found sufficient evidence that it was the defendants themselves who disseminated the materials to the police chiefs and the newspaper. We lack appellate jurisdiction to resolve a dispute concerning this factual finding in a qualified immunity appeal. See Johnson v. Jones, 515 U.S. 304, 313, 115 S.Ct. 2151, 132 L.Ed.2d 238 (1995) ().

FDA responds that “for such disease or condition” refers only to the uses included on a drug’s label. The statute does not unambiguously foreclose FDA’s interpretation. Because Congress has not “directly spoken to the precise question at issue,” we must determine whether the agency’s interpretation is “a permissible construction” of the Orphan Drug Act. Chevron, U.S.A. Inc. v. Nat. Res. Def. Council, Inc., 467 U.S. 837, 842-43, 104 S.Ct. 2778, 81 L.Ed.2d 694 (1984); see also Teva Pharm. USA, Inc. v. Sebelius, 595 F.3d 1303, 1315 (D.C.

App. 3d at 58-59, 558 N.E.2d at 425. Thus, indirect criminal contempt proceedings cannot be initiated by a pleading captioned so as to imply that the proceedings will not be criminal. Instead, a party seeking a finding of indirect criminal contempt must say so explicitly by filing a pleading captioned “petition for adjudication of criminal contempt.” In re Marriage of Carpel, 232 Ill.

The Complaint alleges numerous claims of fraud, including “mail fraud,” “constructive fraud,” “misrepresentation of material facts” and “conspiracy to defraud.” See Compl. at 1. These claims, however, sound in tort. The United States Court of Federal Claims’ jurisdiction does not extend to cases sounding in tort.

Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., ### Response: holding that service was proper where a copy of the summons and complaint was left with the defendants wife at the defendants maryland house in which the defendant had lived before moving ahead of his family to arizona where he had purchased a house intending never to return to maryland and to move his family to arizona noting that the service was sufficient to satisfy the requirements of service at the defendants dwelling house or usual place of abode where the service succeeded in actually apprising him of the lawsuit " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: substances may have been marijuana being, used in a criminal enterprise in which the marijuana was delivered in amounts of less than one-fourth of an ounce, which would not constitute a felony offense. Considering the evidence, in the light most favorable to the challenged finding, indulging every reasonable inference that would support it, crediting favorable evidence if reasonable jurors could, and disregarding contrary evidence unless reasonable jurors could not, the trial evidence would not enable reasonable and fair-minded people to find that the money is contraband under the charge submitted to the jury. Therefore, the evidence is legally insufficient to support the jury’s finding that the seized money is contraband. 1 . See Osterberg v. Peca, 12 S.W.3d 31, 55 (Tex.2000) (); Hirschfeld Steel Co. v. Kellogg Brown & Root, ### Response: holding that appellate court could not review the sufficiency of the evidence based on a particular legal standard because that standard was not submitted to the jury and no party objected to the charge on this ground or requested that the jury be charged using this standard " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: re Marc Antoine Fenelon, No. A038 921 625 (B.I.A. Jan. 14, 2016), aff'g No. A038 921 625 (Immig. Ct. N.Y. City Dec. 14, 2009). We assume the parties’ familiarity with the underlying facts and procedural history in this case. We have reviewed the decisions of both the IJ and BIA “for the sake of completeness.” Wangchuck v. DHS, 448 F.3d 524, 528 (2d Cir. 2006). The applicable standards of review are well established. 8 U.S.C. § 1252(b)(4)(B); Yanqin Weng v. Holder, 562 F.3d 510, 513 (2d Cir. 2009). Despite Fenelon’s assertions otherwise, we lack jurisdiction to review a final order of removal against an alien who is removable by reason of having committed a controlled substance offense. 8 U.S.C. §§ 1252(a)(2)(C), 1227(a)(2)(A)(iii); Ortiz-Franco v.

If anything, Rubarts may lend support to an estoppel defense by the Dearings. See 896 F.2d at 112. The Dearings assert that Perry is estopped from asserting his homestead rights to the 26-acre tract the first time in their reply brief to this court. Because ""an appellant’s original brief abandons all points not mentioned therein,” and the argument has not been fairly presented to the bankruptcy court, we decline to consider this new argument.

Specifically, both the district court and Defendants place significant credence on Dr. Van Goethem’s evaluation of Bar-tell’s “limited” intelligence level, see Bartell, 12 F.Supp.2d at 648, which is purportedly manifested by her low verbal IQ test score. While critical thinking and reasoning skills are undoubtedly relevant, at some level, to the ability of a parent to raise her child, the State must make a specific and tangible showing, not a presumptive one, on the precise nature of the links between these capacities and a particular child’s needs. See, e.g., Dunn v. Blumstein, 405 U.S. 330, 343, 92 S.Ct. 995, 31 L.Ed.2d 274 (1972) (). In this case, Dr. Van Goethem’s report is ### Response: holding that narrowtailoring requires a state to act with precision and to use the least restrictive means of achieving its compelling interest " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: law only.

[is] inapplicable in a suit against state officials on the basis of state law.”). Moreover, Acting Commissioner Mauriello is merely a co-defendant along with NJ DEP. Nothing about this suit suggests that it is aimed a Mauriello’s actions, apart from NJ DEP itself. See MCI Telecomm. Corp. v. Bell Atlantic- Pennsylvania, 271 F.3d 491, 506 (3d Cir.2001) (“Young does not apply if, although the action is nominally against individual officers, the state is the real, substantial party in interest and the suit in fact is against the state.”) (citing Pennhurst); see also Great Northern Life Ins.

New York v. Nat’l Servs. Indus. Inc., 352 F.3d 682, 684 (2d Cir.2003); Shore Realty, 759 F.2d at 1044. The term “operator” in the case of a facility means: “any person who :.. operated, or otherwise controlled activities at such facility immediately beforehand.” 42 U.S.C. § 9601(20)(A). Under CERCLA, “any person who operates a polluting facility is directly liable for the costs of cleaning up the pollution.” U.S. v.

II- McCloud contends that the Government failed to meet its burden of proof because the Shepard documents do not state the time and location of his prior convictions,' or otherwise indicate that the offenses were “temporally distinct.” See id.; Almedina, 686 F.3d at 1315. The Shepard documents in this case include the charging documents for each armed' robbery, the transcript of the plea colloquy, and undisputed statements in the PSI. McCloud’s arrest affidavits are not Shepard documents. See Sneed, 600 F.3d at 1383 (); of United States v.

Power, 881 F.2d 733, 740 (9th Cir.1989) (accepting as legitimate the government's explanation that a juror’s ""fidgeting and looking around as he sat in the jury box ... made the prosecutor believe that the individual would not be an attentive juror”). 12 . Although Collins does not challenge the prosecutor's strike against Juror 019, this strike is relevant to Collins’ Batson challenge.

See Erickson, 175 Mont. at 91, 572 P.2d at 520. ¶21 We agree with Alside that Stebner was not prejudiced by Juror Schneider’s comment regarding her research and subsequent understanding of the term “preponderance.” The comment did not affect the verdict because the jurors had already voted eleven to one in favor of Alside when the comment was made. Also, two jurors testified that they based their vote on the evidence, not on Juror Schneider’s comment. Three jurors testified that they based their vote on the evidence presented at trial. Moreover, no new information was presented on the definition of “preponderance.” See Erickson, 175 Mont. at 92, 572 P.2d at 520 ().

The United States Supreme Court has not specifically set forth a standard by which to assess the effectiveness of appellate counsel. See Evitts v. Lucey, 469 U.S. 387, 392, 105 S.Ct. 830, 833, 83 L.Ed.2d 821 (1985) ().

Because statutory interpretation is a matter of law, our standard' of review is de novo, and our scope of review is plenary. Commonwealth v. McClintic, 589 Pa. 465, 472, 909 A.2d 1241, 1245 (2006). Consequently, we are not bound by the lower court’s conclusions regarding the proper meaning of the applicable provisions of this statute. See Commonwealth v. Kyle, 582 Pa. 624, 632, 874 A.2d 12, 17 (2005) ().

But when later asked whether the sentences should run concurrently, the federal sentencing judge indicated that they should not. The BOP subsequently denied NPT concurrent sentencing designation. Mr. Thomas argues, however, that the sentences should run concurrently because that is what he agreed to in his state plea agreement. But as we recently explained in a factually similar case, “[although [Mr. Thomas’s] state sentence provides for concurrent service of the federal and state sentences, the state court’s decision cannot alter the federal-court sentence,” which runs consecutively to, not concurrently with, the state sentence. United States v. Eccleston, 521 F.3d 1249, 1254 (10th Cir.)

The Iowa Supreme Court similarly held “that the communication by a husband of a venereal disease to his wife, knowingly, is good and sufficient cause for a divorce, and is cruelty of the most flagrant kind.” Holmes v. Holmes, 186 Iowa 336, 170 N.W. 793, 794 (1919). The Maryland Court of Appeals held that “if a spouse, although knowing he or she is afflicted with a venereal disease, yet continues to maintain sexual relations and communicates the disease to the other spouse, such action constitutes extreme cruelty.” Kline v.

Bauer, 76 F.Supp.2d 312, 342 (S.D.N.Y.1999)). The fraud alleged by plaintiffs dates back to the first day of the relevant class period, February 19, 1998. Plaintiffs allege a continuous fraudulent scheme by defendants, and not that defendants only engaged in fraudulent acts when they announced in their February 1999 press release that the IPR & D figures for the acquisition of Rosetta and Sense8 were going to have to be changed. Further, the Supreme Court has approved of the “fraud on the market theory.” Basic Inc. v. Levinson, 485 U.S. 224, 241-50, 108 S.Ct. 978, 99 L.Ed.2d 194 ().

In summary, under the circumstances, the court of appeals ought to have addressed the preservation issue urged in the State’s motion for rehearing. This case involves a serious question about whether error was in fact preserved under common, everyday notions of procedural default. This Court should either remand the case to the court of appeals to consider the issue or it should consider the preservation issue on discretionary review.

See Matter of Lozada, 19 I. & N. Dec. at 639. Petitioners concede that they did not satisfy the hozada requirements, but argue that compliance is unnecessary because their former counsel’s ineffectiveness is obvious on the face of the record.

Therefore, the district court did not err by finding that the government did not breach the plea agreement, and we affirm. AFFIRMED. 1 . Melendez-Baez also mentions that the district court abused its discretion by denying his motions to continue his sentencing hearing or to permit him to withdraw his guilty plea. However, because Melendez-Baez failed to devote a discrete section of his brief addressing these arguments, he has abandoned them on appeal. United States v.

They argue further that the denial of their 10(e) motion prevents them from having a complete record to be able to brief this court on the closure issue. We disagree.

This Court has held that this factor weighs against a defendant who waits a significant amount of time after arrest to demand a speedy trial. C.f., Noe v. State, 616 So.2d 298, 301 (Miss.1993) (); Wall v. State, 718 So.2d 1107, 1113 ### Response: holding that the defendants failure to assert his right to a speedy trial until one year after his arrest weighed heavily against him under this barker factor " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: which was issued against Moore for possession of a controlled dangerous substance. The Warrant was apparently based on the detective’s observation of the substance in the jacket Moore had been seen wearing. Some time after Moore’s arrest, the substance found in Moore’s jacket tested negative for a controlled dangerous substance. A New Jersey Grand Jury voted no-bill against Moore for conspiracy, burglary, theft, and receiving stolen property. With regard to the second Warrant, Moore was found not guilty on a down-graded charge for failure to make lawful disposition of a controlled substance. Six months later Moore filed a complaint alleging various causes of action against several defen dants. Only Moore’s claim for malicious prosecution was allowed to proceed.

App. 3d at 396-97. The trial court ruled that the real reason that the officers went to the defendant’s home was to look for marijuana and that the theft investigation was just a ruse. This court agreed and also agreed that the officers’ misrepresentation was so unfair that it rendered the defendant’s consent invalid. Daugherty, 161 Ill. App. 3d at 400.

Even an unsophisticated consumer would understand that no call is placed unless the caller wishes to transmit a message, and the adjective “important” conveys no substantive information about that message. See Peters v. Gen. Serv. Bureau, Inc., 277 F.3d 1051, 1055 (8th Cir.2002) (applying an objective “unsophisticated consumer test” when determining whether a debt collector’s practices are deceptive or misleading in violation of the FDCPA). The Court concludes that the messages left by JCC on Zortman’s voice-mail do not constitute “communications” with a person other than the consumer. ■ The FDCPA recognizes that debt collection is a legitimate commercial activity. See 15 U.S.C. § 1692(e); Strand v. Diversified Collection Serv., Inc., 380 F.3d 316, 318-19 (8th Cir.2004) ().

Qiu has not alleged that he engaged in any form of resistance that would render him eligible for relief. See Matter of S-L-L-, 24 I. & N. Dec. 1, 10 (BIA 2006). Nor did the agency err by concluding that because Qiu is unmarried, any claim that he would face future persecution on account of possible future violations of the family planning policy would be too speculative to merit relief.

The law, however, distinguishes between pure expressions of opinion, which are constitutionally protected, and mixed expressions of opinion, which, like factual statements, are not. Pure opinion occurs when the defendant makes a comment or states an opinion based on facts which are set forth in the a ion is based are stated in the article, but those “facts” are either incomplete or incorrect, or the speaker’s assessment of them is erroneous, the statement may imply a false assertion of fact. In that event, the statement is not protected as pure opinion. Milkovich v. Lorain Journal Co., 497 U.S. 1, 18-19, 110 S.Ct. 2695, 111 L.Ed.2d 1 (1990); see also Anson v.

Were we to hold otherwise, police officers would have carte blanche based on suspicion of solicitation of a prostitute to stop any vehicle late at night whenever he saw a driver and a known prostitute in the vehicle, to require the driver to exit the vehicle, and to question the driver and the passenger regarding their relationship. That conduct, no different than the conduct in the present ease, is tantamount to a seizure of a driver based on the mere presence of a passenger known to have committed a past criminal act. Cf. State v. Affsprung, 2004-NMCA-038, ¶¶4, 20-21, 135 N.M. 306, 87 P.3d 1088 (); State v. Jones, 114 N.M. 147, 151, 835 P.2d ### Response: holding that an officers request of a passenger who was present solely by virtue of the coincidence he was a passenger for the passengers identification just because the officer wanted to know who he was dealing with for safety purposes constituted an unlawful detention " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Second, based on the Plan documents and the defendant’s conduct, it appears that the Pension Board actually had the authority to determine issues relating to credited service, which forms the basis of this dispute. Third, as explained in more detail below, GM already has had the opportunity to litigate the question whether the plaintiff voluntarily walked away from his job in October 1978 when it contested — and lost — the plaintiffs worker’s compensation claim. Therefore, pursuing that same issue through several internal and administrative procedures would serve no useful purpose. It is true that many courts insist on strict adherence to the administrative procedures set forth under a particular plan, see, e.g., Phipps v. Metro. Life Ins. Co., 625 F.Supp. 1038 (S.D.Ohio 1985) (); how ever, compliance with all administrative ### Response: holding that employee could not sue due to failure to exhaust administrative remedies even though the employees request for internal review had become bogged down due to parties inability to jointly agree on a doctor to perform another evaluation " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Beathard, 767 S.W.2d at 428; Losada v. S mant, Baccus, was indisputably acting covertly on behalf of law enforcement. He was cooperating in the hopes of completing enough “case credits” to have his charges dismissed. Accordingly, to determine the sufficiency of the corroboration of the informant, we must eliminate all of his testimony and determine whether there is other evidence that tends to connect Appellant to the offense of possession with intent to deliver. In Cantelon, an officer testified that the informant met the defendant at an agreed upon time and place, that he searched the informant, and that he watched as the informant, carrying a specific amount of cash and an audio recorder, met with the defendant and then returned without the cash, carryi Amarillo 2004, pet. ref'd) (); Tave v.

A trial court abuses its discretion if it incorrectly interprets or improperly applies the law.

Whether a clear abuse of discretion can be adequately remedied by appeal depends on a careful analysis of costs and benefits of interlocutory review. In re McAllen Med.

Plaintiffs’ desire to introduce such other acts evidence ran more to showing lack of competence or care — that is, malpractice— with respect to other patients. From such evidence, the jury then could infer that Dr. Callahan had a propensity to commit malpractice by misplacing pedicle screws and thus may or perhaps must have committed similar malpractice in the surgery to Mr. Bair. However, Rule 404(b) bars the use of evidence of other alleged wrongs to show, circumstantially, action in conformity therewith.

In re Barlow, 140 N.J. 191, 196, 657 A.2d 1197 (1995). Respondent is correct that we have held that shoddy recordkeeping alone does not suffice for a finding of knowing misappropriation.

Accordingly, Texas Tech and TTUHSC’s 12(b)(1) motion is DENIED. A State Must be a “Person” Within the Meaning of the False Claims Act Having addressed the issue of whether Texas Tech and TTUHSC are immune from suit because of their status as state institutions, and having found that they are not entitled to sovereign immunity, the court turns now to unraveling the mystery of what is a “person” for purposes of the False Claims Act. The False Claims Act does not define the word person. See 31 U.S.C. § 3729. Ordinarily, “ ‘in common usage, the term “person” does not include the sovereign, [and] statutes employing the [word] are ordinarily construed to exclude it.’ ” Will v.

Consequently, in assessing whether, as of 8:02 p.m., the facts gave Rugen “a particularized and objective basis for suspecting [Hornbecker] of criminal activity,” Ornelas, 517 U.S. at 696, 116 S.Ct. 1657 (describing the “reasonable suspicion” required to justify a Terry stop) (citation and internal quotation marks omitted), we are somewhat less demanding than we would be if we were evaluating the lawfulness of a Terry stop that resembled a full, custodial arrest, see, e.g., Chhien, 266 F.3d at 6 (); Stanley, 915 F.2d at 55 (similar); cf.

The meaning of the phrase “current educational placement,” never expressly defined in the statute, is at the heart of the dispute between the parties in the case at bar. In Burlington, the Court observed that an administrative decision in favor of the parents “would seem to constitute agreement by the State to the change of placement,” 471 U.S. at 372, 105 S.Ct. 1996; in other words, the decision would seem to constitute a “current educational placement.” Other courts have followed this understanding of the relevant statutes. See, e. g., Susquenita Sch. Dist. v. Raelee S., 96 F.3d 78, 83 (3d Cir.1996) (); Murphy v. Arlington Cent. Sch. Dist. Bd. of ### Response: holding that the decision of the supreme court in burlington established that a ruling by the education appeals panel in favor of the parents position constitutes agreement for purposes of the pendent placement provision " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 424 U.S. 409, 430, 96 S.Ct. 984, 995, 47 L.Ed.2d 128 (1976). However, the same immunity does not apply to prosecutor’s actions that are administrative and investigative. Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 811 n. 16, 102 S.Ct. 2727, 2734 n. 16, 73 L.Ed.2d 396 (1982). Similarly, officials that initiate and prosecute agency enforcement measures subject to agency adjudication are entitled to absolute immunity. Butz v. Economou, 438 U.S. 478, 508, 98 S.Ct. 2894, 2911-12, 57 L.Ed.2d 895 (1978). It is the official’s function, not role or status, that determines whether absolute immunity applies. Id. at 511-13, 98 S.Ct. at 2913-14. The Third Circuit has not addressed the issue of absolute immunity for child welfare work L.Ed.2d 719 (1991) and Austin v. Borel, 830 F.2d 1356 (5th Cir.1987) ().

If the definition of the prior offense is ambiguous, however, the court must look beyond the definition to the charging document and to any statements incorporated into that document. Kirksey, 138 F.3d at 124-26. In conducting its ACCA assessment, a court may also consult the jury instructions in the earlier case to determine whether the erized Wardrick’s 1988 conviction for resisting arrest as a violent felony. The act of resisting arrest poses a threat of direct confrontation between a police officer and the subject of the arrest, creating the potential for serious physical injury to the officer and others. See United States v. James, 337 F.3d 387 (4th Cir.2003) ().

Certain of the courts that have held governmental agency involvement can satisfy the NCP’s public comment requirement appear to have relied on the fact that the agency’s process itself involved opportunities for public input and involvement. See Estes v. Scotsman Group, Inc., 16 F.Supp.2d 988, 991 (C.D.Ill.1998) (“Cases allowing public agency involvement to be substituted for public comment have only allowed such a substitution if the public is provided an ample opportunity for comment and there is substantial involvement throughout the cleanup by a state agency”); Amcast Industrial Corp. v.

Id. at 462, 111 S.Ct. at 1925. Amendment 488 does not contradict Chapman because the Sentencing Commission has the authority to review the work of the courts and revise the Guidelines by adopting an interpretation of a particular guideline in conflict with prior judicial constructions of that guideline. See Stinson, — U.S. at —, 113 S.Ct. at 1919; see also Braxton v. United States, 500 U.S. 344, 348, 111 S.Ct. 1854, 1857, 114 L.Ed.2d 385 (1991) ().

Thus, the only issue we address on appeal is whether a parole agreement containing a consent-to-search clause renders suspicionless and warrant-less searches of parolees reasonable under the search and seizure clause of the Iowa Constitution. Additionally, we only analyze the consent issue in this case on state constitutional law grounds. The United States Supreme Court has not yet directly weighed in on the issue to direct an outcome under the Fourth Amendment or to aid us in our resolution under our state constitution. See Samson v. California, 547 U.S. 843, 852 n. 3, 126 S.Ct. 2193, 2199 n. pp.1976) ().

His sole allegation that a security guard knew of an incident when pebbles were found in prison beans does not support a finding that Atkinson knowingly disregarded a substantial risk that an inmate would bite into or ingest a foreign object. The security guard did not indicate that Atkinson was aware of the pebbles. In a § 1983 suit, “[a]bsent vicarious liability, each Government official ... is only liable for his or her own misconduct.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 129 S.Ct. 1937, 1949, 173 L.Ed.2d 868 (2009). Because Green was unable upon remand to remedy the insufficient factual allegations against Atkinson, the district court’s dis missal of the claim was proper. See id.; George v.

The 2007 Employment Agreement, however, is unambiguous; indeed, neither Protégé nor the defendants argue to the contrary. The court therefore cannot use the 2004 Employment Agreement to assist in the interpretation of the 2007 Employment Agreement, whether through application of the maxim of expressio unius est exclusio alterius or otherwise.

The court in City of Scranton, further noted that Section 1 of Act 111, 48 P.S. § 217.1, limits the issues that are subject to mandatory bargaining and that Act 111 “does not remove all regulation [of policemen and firemen] from the scope of a municipality’s managerial decision-making, particularly any regulation which might be considered ‘essential for the proper and efficient functioning of a police [and fire] force.’” Id. [quoting Sharon v. Rose of Sharon Lodge, No. S, 11 Pa.Cmwlth. 277, 315 A.2d 355, 358 (1973)]. Accordingly, this court concluded in City of Scranton that Act 111 does not remove from the employer’s managerial authority the total number of firemen on a force.

The requirement of authentication or identification as a condition precedent to admissibility is satisfied by evidence sufficient to support a finding that the matter in question is what its proponent claims. ¶ 14. The State argues that the passports needed no authentication because they are authentic on their face. The State concedes that the passport of Robert Keys was obtained through a fraudulent application because Bob used an alias to obtain the passport. We do not agree that a fraudulently obtained passport could be considered authentic on its face for the purposes of establishing the information contained within as factual. See U.S. v.

The 00813 rates similarly do not prohibit a contractor’s payment of higher wages to his employees. After a dispute arose about the switch, in a letter sent to Mor-ganti, the City wrote that it would reimburse the Hobby Airport contractors and subcontractors for variances between the 00812 rate and the 00813 rate. In response to the letter, Morganti requested the difference between the rates on behalf of itself and its subcontractors, including SES. The City denied the claim. It took the position that the switch to the 00813 rate did not harm Morganti and SES because none of their employees received a wage increase due to the switch.

Here, the above-factors weigh in UNUM’s favor. When UNUM’s plan administrator decided to terminate Reagan’s benefits, he had before him the following evidence to support his conclusion: (1) the fact that Dr. Kurkjian could find no objective evidence that Reagan suffered from any cardiac disease; (2) the fact that neither Dr. Kurkjian nor Dr. Laping believed that any restrictions or limitations upon Reagan’s wo agree regarding Reagan’s medical condition and ability to work, such a disagreement does not support a finding of arbitrary and capricious . In fact, reasoned differences among qualified medical experts preclude such a finding. See Smith v. Office of Civilian Health and Med.

In addition, Siemens has stated that when installation services are provided, “they are part and parcel of the contract for sale of equipment to the customer.” These are clear indications that Siemens has provided recurrent work for installation services as defined by the Kentucky courts.

The Court agrees with the Magistrate Judge that “[t]hese cases provide a useful framework for resolving the issues before this Court.” Id. Where removal proceedings are pending, such as in this case, further administrative relief is available and the termination of an alien’s current status is an intermediate, nonfinal agency action.

Such a result seems counterintuitive, or at least impractical.

Granite Rock’s theory is that because breach of the underlying contract is a necessary element of the tortious interference claim, the resolution of the tort claim is “focused upon” and “governed by” the contract. We reject Granite Rock’s argument, because its position clashes with the plain language of section 301(a) and the Majestic Housing requirement that the underlying agreement must have created the rights or liabilities which the parties seek to vindicate by their suit.

Michaels), would serve to bar plaintiff’s claim against these defendants unless plaintiff filed within the limitations period and satisfied the notice provision. Because plaintiff did not file her notice of claim until February 27, 1995, it would be untimely under this scenario. The court is puzzled as to why the individual defendants in opposing Newark’s motion to remand or to dismiss did not flag this issue. 13 . New Jersey courts have relied on this section of the Restatement in other contexts. See, e.g., Rubin v. Nowak, 248 N.J.Super. 80, 83, 590 A.2d 249 (App.Div.1991). 14 .

Under these circumstances, a defendant necessarily knows that failure to appear will “affect the judicial proceeding.” Aguilar, 515 U.S. at 599, 115 S.Ct. 2357. We have gone further and construed § 3146 as requiring a willful violation of a requirement to appear for a judicial proceeding. See, e.g., Weaver v. United States, 37 F.3d 1411, 1412-13 (9th Cir.1994) (“To establish a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 3146, the government ordinarily must prove that the defendant (1) was released pursuant to that statute, (2) was required to appear in court, (3) knew that he was required to appear, (4) failed to appear as required, and (5) was willful in his failure to appear.”); see also United States v.

MURPHY, Circuit Judge. This matter is before the court on Keith Frazier’s pro se requests for a certifícate of appealability (“COA”) and to proceed on appeal in forma pauperis. Frazier seeks a COA so he can appeal the district court’s dismissal, on the basis of lack of subject matter jurisdiction, of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition. See 28 U.S.C. § 2253(c)(1)(A) (providing no appeal may be taken from a “final order in a habeas corpus proceeding in which the detention complained of arises out of process issued by a State court” unless the petitioner first obtains a COA); Montez v.

Id.) see also Burnett v. Municipality of Anchorage, 806 F.2d 1447 (9th Cir. 1986). Applying the framework set forth in Schmerber to the conduct of Officers Olsen and Vesely, we note that prior to forcing open defendant’s hand, the officers had been informed that the driver of the truck, in which defendant was a passenger, had been involved in a suspected drug transaction moments earlier.

The court opined that extending the pre-emptive reach of Section 1305 to exempt air carriers from “ordinary premises liability” within a terminal building would justify exempting them from the duty to exercise reasonable care in their “downtown ticketing offices,” or in any other facility they owned or operated. Id. at 518. The court found it “impossible to 'discern any 'policy reason” justifying such an illogical result, and concluded that it “is inconceivable that. Congress intended to preempt state common law duties in this context.” Id. See also Margolis v. United Airlines, Inc., 811 F.Supp. at 324 ().

Without objection, Officer Meyer testified: that upon pulling her over, he noticed her hand shaking; that her behavior was “unusual”; that after obtaining her consent to search the car, he found a glass pipe with off-white residue; that upon her arrest he found another glass pipe in the trunk of Appellant’s car; and that upon a subsequent search, he found two small baggies containing a crystalline residue. This testimony, along with the items themselves and a lab report properly admitted into evidence, also establish the same essential fact as the testimony regarding Appellant’s sores — that Appellant used methamphetamine. The testimony regarding Appellant’s sores was, therefore, not prejudicial. See State v. Ponder, 950 S.W.2d 900, 910 (Mo.App. S.D.1997) (). Point I is denied.

There is no evidence in the record that the insureds’ understanding of the coverage departed in any way from that of the insurer’s. Even when we resolve all doubts concerning the meaning of the language employed in the policy in favor of the insured, we conclude that the notice concerns discussed in Canadian Universal are not invoked in this ease. Even if we were to agree with the Martins that NUFIC failed to provide adequate notice of a substantial reduction of coverage in this case, the appellants would nonetheless be unsuccessful. Although NUFIC’s earlier claims-made policy did not contain explicit exclusions for acts of sexual and physical abuse, such acts, nonetheless, are not covered as a matter of public policy. See D.W.H. v. Steele, 512 N.W.2d 586, 589 (Minn.1994) (). b.

ADEA damages are “deemed to be unpaid minimum wages and unpaid overtime compensation for purposes of [FLSA].” 29 U.S.C. § 626(b); see Fariss v. Lynchburg Foundry, 769 F.2d 958, 964 n. 7 (4th Cir.1985) (explaining how the sections are linked). Instead of the private right of action terminating upon the filing of an action by the Secretary of Labor, § 626(c)(1) provides for a similar termination upon the filing of an ADEA action by EEOC. But there is no mention of attorney’s fees beyond that contained in the above-quoted FLSA provision. Thus, this much is readily apparent— under FLSA, a defendant employer is liable for attorney’s fees to a prevailing plaintiff-employee. Cf. Richardson v. Alaska Airlines, Inc., 750 F.2d 763, 765-67 (9th Cir.1984) ().

This version of the plan was recorded 18 days after the property was conveyed to the Horgans, but had been submitted to and approved by the planning board prior to the sale. The plaintiffs argue that the fact that this plan was not recorded until after the conveyance is significant. We disagree. The plan was approved prior to the sale and recorded a short time later. The CCR acknowledges that subsequent site plans may be recorded, but that such plans become part of the master site plan. Further, the Horgan deed recognizes that the property is subject to the CCR. The plan depicting the easement, therefore, is valid, notwithstanding that it was recorded after the property was conveyed. See also Close, 146 N.H. at 484 ().

United States Attorneys’ Manual § 9-16.300 (prohibiting government attorneys from stipulating to a fact that is not accurate). The argument initially fails to recognize that two different loss amounts, for two different defendants, can both be accurate because the different loss amounts reflect the different loss for which each defendant was responsible. Furthermore, the government’s different loss calculations cannot be prosecutorial misconduct — let alone misconduct that rises to plain error — because the government has no obligation to stipulate to identical loss amounts with co-conspirators.

See A.R.S. §§ 13-303, -1001(A)(1), - 1105(A)(1). The aggravated assault convictions were established by evidence that Bush shot Gina twice and seriously injured her soon after he initially entered the home. See A.R.S. §§ 13-303, -1203(A), -1204(A)(1) and (2). ¶ 139 Other considerations set forth in Gordon support imposition of consecutive sentences. Because the attempted murder and aggravated assaults occurred at different times during the home invasion and involved separate acts, it was possible for Forde to commit the former crime without committing the latter ones. Also, the aggravated assaults caused Gina to suffer physical injuries that were not inherent in the attempted murder. See Gordon, 161 Ariz. at 315, 778 P.2d at 1211 ().

Those courts have not, however, considered whether the employee must know the corporate identity of the special employer for whom she agreed to work or whether her consent to work for a borrowing entity is tantamount to consent to work for the corporate entity of which the borrower is a part. Rather, the cases have analyzed only whether the employee agreed to work for an entity other than the general employer, an issue that is undisputed in this case. See Pacenti v. Hoffman-La Roche, Inc., 245 N.J.Super. 188, 584 A.2d 843, 845 (App.Div.1991) (inferring requisite consent from the employee’s reporting to borrower’s place of business and accepting its supervisors’ decisions, policies and training); Murin, 573 A.2d at 991-94 (); Chickachop v.

The question is whether this 10 to 15 minute-long seizure was justified by reasonable suspicion. First, in his initial encounter with defendants, Crivello said he would hold the vehicle until the canine came if defendants refused to consent to a search. But an assertion of one’s constitutional rights should not be the basis for an otherwise unjustified detention. See Florida v.

Nonetheless, Sternberg contends that the Olsons waived any defects in service of process and jurisdiction. Pursuant to Mass.R.Civ.P. 12(h)(1), the defenses of insufficiency of service of process and lack of personal jurisdiction are waived by failure to raise them in either a motion to dismiss filed under the rule or in the answer. In the present case, however, the Olsons never filed any motions or responsive pleadings but rather, allowed a default judgment to be entered against them. Because they never entered an appearance in the original action in their capacities as Trustees of the Family Trust, they did not waive the defenses of deficient process and lack of jurisdiction. Compare Smith v. Arnold, 4 Mass.App.Ct. 614, 616 (1976) ().

Consequently, if misdemeanor battery is an “infamous crime,” then it is only by legislative grace that Snyder’s right to vote was restored when he was released from incarceration. To be sure, the power to disenfranchise permanently persons convicted of any crimes even though they have completed their sentences might be limited by other provisions of the Indiana Constitution, such as the Proportionality Clause of Article I, § 16, and it may also be limited by the Equal Protection Clause, cf.

For example, in this Circuit, a direct appeal waiver cannot bar claims that the plea was not knowing and intelligent, that the sentence imposed is in excess of the maximum penalty provided by statute, that the sentence is based on a constitutionally impermissible factor such as race, or that defendant was denied ineffective assistance of counsel after entry of the guilty plea. Attar, 38 F.3d at 732-33; Wessells, 936 F.2d at 167. Such exceptions may be warranted for § 2255 waivers as well. See DeRoo, 223 F.3d at 922-24 ().

Castellanos-Loya next urges that the district court abused its discretion in declining to prohibit testimony about the date of birth associated with the SSN, due to the Government’s late disclosure of the pertinent information.

Although the question was left unresolved in Franchise Tax Board, the Court resolved this issue definitively a few years later in Metropolitan Life, 481 U.S. at 64-67, 107 S.Ct. 1542. There, the Court limited application of the complete preemption exception to the well-pleaded complaint rule, with respect to ERISA claims, to only those claims which fall court cannot resolve a dispute where a claim is preempted under § 514, but outside the scope of § 502 because it lacks removal jurisdiction); Rice v.

Commerce concedes that the case should be remanded to it to exclude the sample transactions for which SKF received no consideration from SKF’s United States sales database. See Def.’s Partial Opp’n to Pis.’ Mots. J. Agency R. at 27. Commerce is required to impose anti-dumping duties upon merchandise that “is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than its fair value.” 19 U.S.C. § 1673(1) (1988).

We presume that a sentence within the Guidelines range is reasonable. Id. This presumption, however, may be rebutted by reference to the statutory sentencing factors found in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a). Id. Price, however, did not receive a Guidelines sentence but a sentence varying below her Guidelines range by twelve months. The only evidence that Price offers in support of her argument that her below-Guidelines sentence is unreasonable is her past history of family problems. The district court considered this evidence but found that it was not sufficiently compelling to warrant a greater variance, and we conclude that the district court acted within its discretion in determining the extent of the variance.

The Court concluded that it made “no sense to impute to Congress an intent that a defendant have the right to comment on the appropriateness of a sua sponte departure but not the right to be notified that the court is contemplating such a ruling.” Burns, 501 U.S. at 135-36, 111 S.Ct. 2182 (emphasis in original). Although Burns itself dealt with the need for notice regarding potential upward departures, Townsend notes that some lower courts have extended its reasoning to adjustments, see United States v.

Like the plaintiff in Lester, Swanson seeks to vacate the judgment because Donna, a third-party witness, committed perjury. Swanson did not file his motion, however, until nearly 32 months after the entry of the judgment in this case. Swanson’s motion thus would be untimely if Jones, rather than Donna, committed perjury. And like the court in Lester, the court here finds no reason to treat Donna’s testimony differently than Jones’s testimony. The court thus finds that Swanson’s motion was not filed in a reasonable amount of time. See also Middleton, 388 F.3d at 614 ().

As mentioned above, there is no dispute that Engelman's water rights and allocations may not be the subject of a forced sale because these assets are the property of a governmental agency.

Ordinarily, collateral estoppel is an affirmative defense that must be raised by the party seeking to use it, or else it is waived. See, e.g., Kern Oil & Ref. Co. v.

United States Att’y Gen., 451 F.3d 1287 (11th Cir.2006) (per curiam), we held that the petitioner, who was dragged by his arms to a detention yard, detained for five days, forced to watch reeducation videos, to stand in the sun for two hours, and to sign a pledge not to practice his religion, failed to establish past persecution. Id. at 1289-92. Because Zheng had presented no evidence that he was physically injured, we concluded that the “five-day detention during which he was not harmed [did] not compel the conclusion that he experienced past persecution.” Id. at 1290; see also Djonda v.

Defendant therefore misapplies the general rule of exclusivity to the facts of this case, which resemble those in The Meadows. In that case, an assignee of the plan participant filed negligent misrepresentation, estoppel, and breach of contract claims against the plan. The district court dismissed the action, stating that because the plaintiff sued in its capacity as assign-ee, ERISA preempted the state law claims. Id. at 1008.

P. 11.2(d), the supreme court evinced its intent that, once a court has made the reasonable grounds finding, the matter move on to the next phase of the Rule 11 process and the issue of a defendant’s competency be determined after full proceedings consistent with the rule. See, e.g., Ariz. R.Crim. P. 11.3(a) (requiring court to appoint two or more mental health experts upon finding reasonable grounds for examination exist). Were we to interpret Rule 11.2 as permitting the superior court to review another court’s reasonable grounds finding, we would be inserting words into the rule that do not exist. This we cannot and will not do. See Cervantes v.

Courts have unanimously held that a district court does not abuse its discretion in placing primary emphasis on the gravity of the juvenile’s offense. See Hemmer, 729 F.2d at 18 (“In light of the gravity of the crime involved [ (armed robbery) ], weighed against the other five section 5032 factors, we cannot say that the district court struck the balance improperly.”); see also Juvenile No. 1, 118 F.3d at 307 (explaining that “[t]he seriousness of the offense, for instance, can be given more weight than other factors” (internal quotation marks omitted)); Wellington, 102 F.3d at 506 (); A.R., 38 F.3d at 705 (holding that the ### Response: holding that a district court is entitled to give more weight to the seriousness of the offense than to other factors " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: “the mere imposition of hardship on family relationships ... necessarily accompanies the order of any prison sentence”). Here, the district court explained that a below-Guidelines sentence was warranted because the Guidelines range was based on Edwards’s intended loss, not the actual loss he caused. But it is unexceptional that the actual losses were less than the intended losses. I expect the amount the run-of-the-mill thief intends to steal is usually greater than the amount he actually steals. The fact that the losses attributed to Edwards were intended rather than actual simply reflects the fact that Edwards got caught. He should not benefit from that fact. Fourth, we should consider whether the district court “base[d] the sentence on impermissible factors.” Hunt, 521 F.3d at 649 ().

The district court therefore drew a reasonable inference that West, through its manufacturer, improperly used trade secrets related to OTR’s Outrigger tire. See id. 3. The district court did not clearly err in finding that OTR was likely to suffer irreparable harm absent a preliminary injunction. Loss of control over business reputation and damage to goodwill are cognizable irreparable harms in the trademark infringement context. See Herb Reed Enters., LLC v. Fla. Entm’t Mgmt., Inc., 736 F.3d 1239, 1250 (9th Cir.2013).

Finally, the third paragraph again declares that Tilbury I and Tilbury II are separate lots that could be remodeled or replaced subject to compliance with the current Deed Restrictions’ regulations on matters such as building materials, color, and location relative to the setback lines. Plaintiffs contend the declaratory judgment does not duplicate their preexisting pleadings because, in their view, these declarations deal with future rights. As explained above, however, the declarations focus on present compliance with the Deed Restrictions. Moreover, to the extent these declarations have future operation, they duplicate the relief plaintiffs sought by injunction. See Tex. A & M Univ. Sys. v. Luxemburg, 93 S.W.3d 410, 425-26 (Tex.App.-Houston [14th Dist.] 2002, pet. denied) ().

While the Authority cites to legislative history that seems to indicate that the legislature’s intent was to require the mitigation to “fully offset” the adverse impacts, the statute as enacted does not contain that language, and this court cannot rewrite the statute to say so. See State v. Jett, 626 So.2d 691, 693 (Fla.1993) (“It is a settled rule of statutory construction that unambiguous language is not subject to judicial construction, however wise it may seem to alter the plain language.”); Ervin v.

[the tenant] would like to get this in the June 17th meeting for approval.... This is a busy time for everyone ..., but lets get this deal done, behind us, and open!” was a “clear and definite promise”). Andersen argues that Kranz’ internal e-mail to Gower on February 25 was a clear and definite promise that FCOA would sign the lease. However, this cannot constitute a clear and definite promise because the promisee must be aware of the promisor’s promise. See Johnson v. Pattison, 185 N.W.2d 790, 795-96 (Iowa 1971) ().

Further, contrary to the court of appeals’ conclusion, there is evidence that other landowners in the area did not suffer the same injuries. The land north of INP was vacant, and the properties south of INP endured only minor changes. Additionally, there is no evidence that the frontage road’s relocation impaired the perceived safety of any buildings on those properties or placed them in violation of city ordinances or deed restrictions. And, in any event, even if the condemnation did affect some neighboring landowners similarly, “injury to several landowners on the same street is not community injury simply because they all suffer alike.” Schmidt, 867 S.W.2d at 781.

Moreover, the Supreme Court in Lamie has pointed the way toward a strict reading of parts of the Code dealing with compensation. See Lamie v. United States Trustee, 540 U.S. 526, 124 S.Ct. 1023, 157 L.Ed.2d 1024 (2004). It is true that section 503(b) is “inclusive” in its listing of administrative expenses. See Code §§ 503(b), 102(3). However, the specificity (and exclusive language) of section 503(b)(4) suggests a limited scope for that category of expense. Moreover, section 503(b)(4) represents a limited exception to the general rule that general unsecured creditors are not entitled to payment for professional fees incurred. See In re Consol.

AFFIRMED and REMANDED with directions. WOLF, C.J.; PADOVANO and POLSTON, JJ., concur. 1 . The State argues that the trial court’s finding that appellant violated his probation by leaving the scene of a traffic accident involving property damage was permissible because leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage only, in violation of section 316.061, Florida Statutes (2002), is a lessor included offense of leaving the scene of an accident involving injury, in violation of section 316,027 (2002). The trial court did not, however, find that appellant committed a lesser offense. Rather, it found that appellant committed both offenses. This cannot be so. See Peterson v.

The court concludes therefore that, in light of the exemption for the local preference, Section 115A.47 is not evenhanded in its application. Further, in support of its argument that the effects of Section 115A.47 are merely incidental, the State asserts that any impact on interstate commerce is small because most waste is already managed in Minnesota. The MPCA estimates that approximately 193,000 tons of Minnesota waste per year, or four percent of the total waste generated in Minnesota, is managed outside of the State. The court finds that this argument misconstrues the nature of the incidental impact on interstate commerce that is permissible. See Waste Systems, 985 F.2d at 1387 ().

However, in each of those cases there was no evidence presented (beyond the fact that the employees commenced or continued to work) that the employees assented to the policies. When an employer offers to restrict its power to discharge, the employee’s assent to the restriction need not be evinced by anything more than commencing or continuing employment. As a matter of public policy, we see no need for any further manifestation of assent. Once the employee has successfully shown that the employer has demonstrated an intent to restrict its power to discharge, absent evidence to the contrary, the court will imply in law that the requirement of mutual assent has been met. There need be no separate factual finding of mutual assent. Accord Toussaint, 292 N.W.2d at 892 ().

Burgos, 94 F.3d 849, 862 (4th Cir.1996)(en banc) (citation omitted). A reviewing court does not assess the credibility of witnesses, but rather assumes “that the jury resolved all contradictions in testimony in favor of the Government.” Green, 599 F.3d at 367 (quoting United States v. United Med. & Surgical Supply Corp., 989 F.2d 1390, 1402 (4th Cir.1993)). 1. As a preliminary matter, we reject the notion that Darby’s conviction should be vacated on the conspiracy charge merely because his co-conspirator Melvin Wright was acquitted on the same charge. It is well established that an acquittal of the appellant’s alleged co-conspirator does not necessitate that the appellant’s conviction be vacated. See United States v. Powell, 469 U.S. 57, 65, 105 S.Ct. 471, 83 L.Ed.2d 461 (1984)(); United States v.

Those rights can be curtailed if the State has articulated “very substantial” interests served by the limitation on those rights. Vasquez, 496 F.3d at 573; see also Chambers v. Mississippi 410 U.S. 284, 295, 93 S.Ct. 1038, 35 L.Ed.2d 297 (1973) (). That begs the question here.

We have already determined that the district court is without jurisdiction to review the North Carolina Supreme Court’s decision that Guess’ license was properly revoked. Because of this decision, the relief the Patients seek, homeopathic care from Guess, cannot be given. In limiting their prayer for relief to an injunction against the Board’s revocation of Guess’ medical license, to the extent of the relief requested, the Patients become “a litigating agent of a person who was a party to a prior action_” Charles A. Wright, Arthur R. Miller, Edward H. Cooper, Federal Practice and Procedure § 4449 n. 7 (1981) (citing St. Louis Typographical Union No. 8 v. Herald Co., 402 F.2d 553 (8th Cir.1968) ()).

In a later case, we allowed expert testimony to explain to a jury why children victims may delay reporting their sexual abuse. State v. Payton, 481 N.W.2d 325, 327 (Iowa 1992). Again, the expert witness avoided commenting directly on the child at issue and only testified generally about victims of sexual abuse. Id. We have also analyzed expert witness testimony under the hearsay exception. Under a hearsay analysis, when the child makes statements for the purposes of diagnosis or treatment, those statements fall under the hearsay exception contained in Iowa Rule of Evidence 5.803(4).

The agreement regarding the name of the dormitory is another matter. Vanderbilt did not publicly announce its intention to rename Confederate Memorial Hall until September 2002, and the Tennessee U.D.C. filed its lawsuit seeking to enforce the portion of the agreement pertaining to the name of the dormitory well within any applicable statute of limitations. It would be fatuous to assert that the Tennessee U.D.C.’s delay of less than two months in filing the lawsuit was ""unreasonable” or that Vanderbilt was somehow prejudiced in the interval.

(citing Weaker v. Nat’l Enameling & Stamping Co., 204 U.S. 176, 186, 27 S.Ct. 184, 51 L.Ed. 430 (1907)). The Sixth and Eighth Circuits have gone even further in protecting the rights of defendants. They have interpreted § 1446(b) as allowing each defendant thirty days from service to file a notice of removal, regardless of whether other defendants have so filed. Marano, 254 F.3d 753 (); Brierly, 184 F.3d 527 (holding same).

Other federal courts have rejected arguments based on Bond or Miller, however, the facts of those cases distinguish them from the holdings of Bond and Miller. See Shields v.

After the panel returned a guilty verdict, counsel discussed mitigation strategy with Wickline two or three times. Wickline did not want to speak with a psychiatrist or a probation officer or involve his family. Consequently, Wickline and his counsel reached the decision to focus on their strongest mitigating factor — that the Lerches facilitated the murders by participating in drug dealing and attempting a drug rip-off. Wickline made the final decision to proceed with this strategy. Based on the record evidence of Wickline’s strategic choices, counsel’s investigation and presentation of mitigating evidence did not fall below an objective standard of reasonableness.

But Defendants’ argument goes to the merits of Plaintiffs claim, not to its fundamental nature: Plaintiff did not sue for breach of any alleged oral agreement, and the validity and terms of such an agreement were not necessary to the disposition of the claim.

Instead, the focus must be on what Jackson Hewitt actually knew in 2004 and 2005 when the Kamans were making their investments. When Valmont contacted Cort at Jackson Hewitt in 2002, Jackson Hewitt had already experienced an uneventful relationship with its franchisee, SFS, for nine years.

Thus, the standards discussed above, in reference to National Tank’s third-party claim for indemnity against Eagle Grove, for what constitutes the necessary “independent duty” appear to be equally applicable here. Thus, the question is whether Gehrke’s alleged duty to supervise and maintain the safety of the job site is the sort of duty of “a specific, defined nature,” running from Gehrke to National Tank, and not simply the general duty of care owed to each member of society.

Conclusion We conclude on the basis of the foregoing discussion that Congress has the authority to abrogate the Eleventh Amendment when it acts pursuant to the powers accorded it under the Bankruptcy Clause, Art. I, § 8, cl. 4; that it expressly and unequivocally did so when it enacted § 113 of the Reform Act, 11 U.S.C. § 106; and that § 113 applies retroactively to this case. Accordingly, the judgment is Reversed and the cause Remanded. 1 . But see Seminole Tribe of Florida v. State of Florida, 11 F.3d 1016, 1023 (11th Cir.1994) (). 2 .

We held that the interstate commerce nexus was satisfied because the tavern sold beer that was manufactured outside of the Virgin Islands. Id at 211. Likewise, in United States v. Claus have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. See Raich, 545 U.S. at 17-19, 125 S.Ct. 2195. Although this robbery was of a small business that purchased alcohol sold in interstate commerce, if robberies oc curred at and led to the closure of such establishments on a large scale, the effect on interstate commerce would be substantial. For that reason, the size of Jeanette’s business and the fact that the appellants stole only $121 dollars, a wallet, and two cell phones did not make this crime too small to satisfy the de minimis standard.

See Wagner, 370 F.3d at 1096. This Court has recognized that service connection may be granted for congenital diseases. See Monroe v. Brown, 4 Vet.App. 513, 515 (1993). We have also held that the presumption of soundness applies if a veteran’s congenital condition is not noted at entry. See id. The presumption of soundness does not, however, apply to congenital defects, because such defects “are not diseases or injuries” within the meaning of 38 U.S.C. §§ 1110 and 1111. 38 C.F.R. § 3.303(c); see Terry v.

We read the trial court’s comment that Digital Broadcast had not complied with the requirements of Rule 55(c) as a reference to the requirement of a verified answer or assertion of the court’s lack of jurisdiction. Although the trial court did not explain why the asserted lack of personal jurisdiction was insufficient, we conclude that the assertion fails as a matter of law. Digital Broadcast’s only asserted defense was that the Superior Court lacked personal jurisdiction because Digital Broadcast is incorporated and located elsewhere and has “no business operations in the District of Columbia.” In asserting that defense, Digital Broadcast bore the burden of alleging facts that, if proven, would demonstrate a lack of personal jurisdiction. Cf. Venison, 756 A.2d at 911-12 (). Digital Broadcast failed to meet that burden. ### Response: holding that the simple assertion that the district of columbia failed to follow the proper procedures in selling a property for delinquent taxes without citing supporting evidence is insufficient to establish a prima facie defense under rule 60b " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: same FERC decision.

Whether Plaintiffs Have Standing. As a matter of law, a “plaintiff must be in privity with the United States to have standing to sue the sovereign on a contract claim.” S. Cal. Fed. Sav. & Loan Ass’n v. United States, 422 F.3d 1319, 1328 (Fed. Cir. 2005). Privity “takes on even greater significance in cases such as this, because the ‘government consents to be sued only by those with whom it has privity of contract.’ ” Id.

Under Federal Rules of Evidence 401 and 403, the district court’s ruling excluding both Bill Feinberg’s testimony and Cohn’s testimony about Joseph Reda’s comments was not an abuse of discretion. An erroneous jury charge is one that misleads the jury as to the proper legal standard or does not adequately inform the jury of the law. See Luciano v. Olsten Corp., 110 F.3d 210, 218 (2d Cir.1997). “Challenged jury instructions are reviewed de novo, but this Court will reverse only if all of the instructions, taken as a whole, caused the defendant prejudice. United States v. Bok, 156 F.3d 157, 160 (2d Cir. 1998); see also Thomley v. Penton Publ’g, Inc., 104 F.3d 26 (2d Cir.1997) ().” Hester v.

The court found plaintiff had something to gain from the novation in that [o]n the record the file became listed as a resignation. He had that to gain from and I don’t see that he had anything else, particularly, to gain from it. The facts presented lead us unequivocally to the conclusion that defendant Brown Boveri breached the employment contract. There is an emerging pattern of persuasive out-of-state case law supporting the propositions that Brown Boveri’s attempt to reclassify plaintiff to a lesser job status constructively discharged him in violation of his employment contract, see, e.g., Knee v. School District No. 139, In Canyon County, 106 Idaho 152, 153-55, 676 P.2d 727, 728-30 (Ct.App.1984) (); Sanders v.

For both a cancellation and a § 212(h) waiver, the period of lawful continuous residency terminates when the alien is served with a notice to appear. Id. at §§ 1229b(d)(1) and 1182(h). Yoon gained lawful entry into the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) on May 15, 1996. However, residence in the CNMI before 2009 was not residence in the United States. See Consolidated Natural Resources Act of 2008, Pub. L. No. 110-229, §§ 701-702, 122 Stat. 754 (2008) (codified at 48 U.S.C. § 1806); Eche v. Holder, 694 F.3d 1026, 1030 (9th Cir.2012) ().

We reject this argument on two grounds. First, the wardens’ reliance on circuit court cases is improper. The AEDPA prohibits use of lower court decisions in determining whether the state court deei sion is contrary to, or is an unreasonable application of, clearly established federal law. Williams, 529 U.S. at 412, 120 S.Ct. 1495 (defining “clearly established law as determined by the Supreme Court” to mean holdings of Supreme Court decisions); Harris, 212 F.3d at 944 ().

Dist. Ct. Op. at 13-15. Because the State of New Jersey was thus the real party at interest, the District Court properly held that these entities are immune from a suit seeking money damages. Fitchik v. N.J. Transit Rail Operations, Inc., 873 F.2d 655, 659 (3d Cir.1989). As Hogg’s made neither a demand for injunctive relief, nor any allegation of a continuing violation of constitutional rights, there is no basis for excepting the application of Eleventh Amendment immunity in this case. See Edelman v. Jordan, 415 U.S. 651, 676-78, 94 S.Ct. 1347, 39 L.Ed.2d 449 F.2d 1298 (3d Cir.1971) ().

Further, Jones’s counsel contended in his closing argument that, although the residue itself was visible, it had to be tested multiple times before the police could make a positive determination that it contained cocaine. We conclude that Jones’s counsel placed in dispute the issue of whether Jones knew the illicit nature of the substance on the pipe. Under Delva, it was fundamental error for the trial court to fail to properly instruct the jury on that disputed element of the crime charged against Jones. Since such fundamental error is not subject to harmless error analysis, Jones’s conviction must be reversed. See Reed v. State, 887 So.2d 366, 369-70 (Fla.2002) (). Section 893.101, Florida Statutes (2002), ### Response: holding that failure to give proper instruction regarding disputed element of crime charged was fundamental error requiring reversal and stating that fundamental error is not subject to harmless error review " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: some apparently directive or dispositive words,” such as, “ ‘the plaintiffs motion [for summary judgment] is granted.’ ” Because the opinions or memo-randa sometimes lacked all the requisite elements of a judgment, and because judges sometimes later signed formal judgments in addition to those opinions and memoranda, Rule 58 was amended to clarify when a judgment became “effective, starting the time running for post-verdict motions and for the purpose of appeal.” Given this clear need for certainty, we should not cloud the issue of when a federal court judgment is “rendered” — it is “rendered” when it is set forth in writing on a separate document and entered on the civil docket, in compliance with Rule 58. See United States v. Woods, 885 F.2d 352, 353 (6th Cir.1989) (per curiam) () (emphasis added); Simon v. City of Clute, 825 ### Response: holding that a district courts marginal order granting summary judgment did not meet the strict requirements of rule 58 because a party may reasonably be confused as to the standing of its ease when a decision is rendered in such an informal manner " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: it reveals information not exposed to the public, we note preliminarily that the Government points to not a single actual example of visual surveillance that will be affected by our holding the use of the GPS in this case was a search. No doubt the reason is that practical considerations prevent visual surveillance from lasting very long. Continuous human surveillance for a week would require all the time and expense of several police officers, while comparable photographic surveillance would require a net of video cameras so dense and so widespread as to catch a person’s every movement, plus the manpower to piece the photographs together. Of course, as this case and some of the GPS cases in other courts illustrate, e.g., Weaver, 12 N.Y.3d at 447, 459, 882 N.Y.S.2d 357, 909 N.E.2d 1195 (); Jackson, 76 P.3d at 223 (holding use of GPS ### Response: holding use of gps device to track suspect for 65 days was search " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: devoid of any evidence that APHIS made determinations that the field tests at issue involved either “new species or organisms or novel modifications that raise[d] new issues.” Likewise, there is no evidence that APHIS considered whether the field tests, notwithstanding the initial application of the “confined field release” exemption, “may have [had] the potential to affect ‘significantly’ the quality of the ‘human environment.’ ” This absence manifests arbitrary and capricious agency action which is inconsistent with the terms used in APHIS’s own regulations, and which violates NEPA. Ctr. for Food Safety, 451 F.Supp.2d at 1183-86 (reviewing similar field test permits and reaching the same conclusion); see also Back Country Horsemen of Am. v. Johanns, 424 F.Supp.2d 89, 99 (D.D.C.2006) ().

Each communicated its desires and opinions to a governmental entity with regulatory authority to take action affecting the property. Like SARA in relation to San Antonio, the TWDB made its opinion known to the Corps but had no authority to take the action affecting the owner’s property rights. SARA further sought a cooperation agreement between it and San Antonio. As Westgate’s focus on direct action implies, causation is an issue to be considered by Courts in takings cases. This is not the first time courts have addressed causation in a takings action. In 1941, we held that the “true test” is whether the State’s intentional acts “were the proximate cause of the taking or damaging of such property.” State v. Hale, 136 Tex. 29, 146 S.W.2d 731, 737 (1941) (); see Roberson v.

This is consistent with the State’s argument that Overton withdrew his motion for a continuance at a status hearing on October 29, 2004. Moreover, even if the ordered DNA testing had not been completed, there was no undue prejudice to Overton. Overton has not asserted any reason why DNA testing of the crime scene swabs will produce different results than the other DNA testing, which linked Overton to the scene. Overton’s argument that DNA testing of these crime scene swabs would have changed the outcome is purely speculative. See Martin v. State, 455 So.2d 370, 372 (Fla.1984) (). Overton’s claim that the trial court’s denial ### Response: holding that the trial court committed no abuse of discretion in denying the appointment of the defendants requested expert as there was no undue prejudice to the defendant because the defendants claim on the predicted effect of the experts testimony was purely speculative " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: results in a work-related “injury” or not — are entitled to a maximum of 100% of their back pay, as long as that sum does not lead to double recovery. Duplicative benefits must be deducted, as the district court did here. We reach the same conclusion on a second, independent ground. As we have noted above, relief under Title VII in the form of back pay is purely “equitable” in nature. See supra pp. 514-15. By contrast, relief under FECA consists of “compensation” (i.e., damages) defined as a per centage of the employee’s monthly salary. Because the exclusivity provisions of FECA are limited solely to other forms of “compensation,” they are simply not applicable to the types of “equitable” relief authorized by Title VII. See, e.g., Smith v. Barton, 914 F.2d 1380, 1337 (9th Cir.1990) (), cert. denied, 501 U.S. 1217, 111 S.Ct. 2825, ### Response: holding that compensatory money damages are generally distinct from equitable forms of relief such as injunctions or back pay " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: disorderly persons offenses, however, may be submitted to the jury in criminal trials as lesser-included offenses, despite the general jurisdiction of the municipal court in such matters.

See id. at 246, 101 S.Ct. 488. The Court reasoned that the FTC’s averment of “reason to believe” 'that the oil companies were violating the FTCA was “not a definitive statement of position [but instead] represented] a threshold determination that further inquiry [was] warranted and that a complaint should initiate proceedings.” Id. at 241, 101 S.Ct. 488. The Court then determined that, because the issuance of the complaint served only to initiate the proceedings by which a definitive agency position could become known, the complaint had no legal force or practical effect that was comparable to the regulation at issue in Abbott Laboratories, 387 U.S. at 151-53, 87 S.Ct. 1507 ().

Drag dealers typically need a place to store and utilize not only the drags that they distribute but such items as scales, packaging materials, ledgers and cash. The magistrate considering the warrant application could reasonably infer that such evidence probably would be found at Stevens’ home. Numerous courts have upheld a finding of probable cause for a search warrant in similar circumstances. See, e.g., United States v. Hodge, 246 F.3d 301, 305-07 (3rd Cir.2001) (); United States v.

We review properly preserved questions of statutory interpretation de novo. United States v. Krawczak, 331 F.3d 1302, 1305 (11th Cir.2003). However, where a defendant fails to present the issue to the district court, like Wilson in this case, we review only for plain error. United States v. Smith, 459 F.3d 1276, 1282-83 (11th Cir.2006). As discussed below, we find no error, much less plain error. This Court has not previously resolved this specific issue in a published opinion, and there appears to be some conflict in the circuits on whether the use of someone’s name qualifies as a “means of identification” under 18 U.S.C. § 1028A. Compare United States v. Mitchell, 518 F.3d 230 (4th Cir.2008) (), with United States v. Blixt, 548 F.3d 882 ### Response: holding a bare name alone was not sufficient to identify the specific individual as required under the statute " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: an application.

There is no magic formula for evidence of intent to flee. The issuing judge must simply determine whether the affidavit supporting the wiretap application under § 2516(l)(i), when read as a whole, establishes probable cause to believe that the missing individual is purposely evading the authorities out of fear that he will otherwise be prosecuted for an enumerated crime. Moreover, the Court notes that determinations by an issuing judge are accorded substantial deference upon a subsequent suppression motion. United States v. Brone, 792 F.2d 1504, 1506 (9th Cir. 1986); see Errera, 616 F.Supp. at 1149 ().

Because Coro’s failure to alert was inconclusive on the essential question of whether the package contained illegal narcotics and because the facts set forth in the search warrant affidavit otherwise were sufficient to establish probable cause, there was a substantial basis for the issuing court’s determination of probable cause. {34} Lastly, Defendant claims that, pursuant to Nyce, our inquiry must be “particularly exacting” because Defendant’s conduct was “equally consistent with legal activity.” See Nyce, 2006-NMSC-026, ¶ 14, 139 N.M. 647, 137 P.3d 587 (purchasing tincture of iodine and hydrogen peroxide at multiple stores in a hurried manner is equally consistent with lawful activity); State v.

But the severity of a supervisor’s use of “probably the most offensive word in English,” id.

Rather, Ms. Stiger’s-'offen-sive question is more akin to the sort of derogatory remarks that courts in this Circuit have deemed non-actionable in the past. See, e.g., Freedman v. MCI Telecomms.

See note 9, infra. 7 . See note 1, supra. 8 . It should be noted that defendants’ legal position is that ""[a]s a limited term appointee [Wilkinson] has no due process or other right to re-appointment * * *"" and that ""[n]o cause is required to disapprove an appointment."" Thus, defendants have argued on appeal that Wilkinson’s appropriate remedy was an appeal to the Personnel Appeal Board (PAB). But if the 1994 amendments truly had converted Wilkinson to a limited-term, non-classified employee, as defendants contend, then the PAB would have lacked jurisdiction to hear his appeal. See Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education v. Newman, 688 A.2d 1300, 1303 (R.I.1997) (). 9 .

There is simply no intrinsic connection between these events, other than the involvement of the defendant, to show that they are part of a pattern of discrimination. These acts are best understood as “isolated instances of discrimination,” and insufficient to support a continuing violation theory. Cuffy, 648 F.Supp. at 810; see also Bronze Shields, Inc. v. N.J.

There are, however, alternative grounds on which COUNT IV must be dismissed. B. Lack of Personal Liability under the FMLA as to Mr. Dods Personal liability for violations of Federal employment laws generally has been rejected (unless the defendant engaged in “nondelegable acts” like harassment). The term “employer” in the FMLA should be construed consistently with the way that term has been construed in Title VII cases (and in cases under the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. § 12101 et seq. and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, 29 U.S.C. § 621 et. seq.). See Frizzell v. Southwest Motor Freight, Inc., 906 F.Supp. 441 (E.D.Tenn.1995) ().

In the absence of express language in any of our cases holding that harmless error review does not apply to preserved claims of rule l1(e) violations, the State nevertheless urges us to apply harmless error review of preserved rule 11 violations because ""it does so in nearly every other context,"" because ""other states do so,"" or because it is good public policy. We decline to do so. T76 First, the State argues that because we apply harmless error in other contexts, we should also apply harmless error to a preserved rule 11(e) claim of error. In support of its argument, the State cites to cases involving the question of whether a trial court's error affected the outcome of a trial. See, eg., State v. Bales, 675 P.2d 578, 576 (Utah 1983) (); State v. Chapman, 655 P.2d 1119, 1125 (Utah ### Response: holding that erroneous instruction that flight from the scene of the crime implied guilt was harmless because there was other evidence to sustain a conviction " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: bills that [she had with her that day] that would indicate whether or not [the] property was occupied back in 2006.” Id. at 16.

Id. at 17; see also Def.’s Mot., Ex. 6 (Aug. 14, 2007 Letter Requesting Documents). In light of the evidence cited by the defendants (of which these are only a few examples), a reasonable juror could conclude that the plaintiff breached the insurance policy by not carrying out her duties as the insured party, thereby rendering the policy void. See Claflin, 110 U.S. at 96-97, 3 S.Ct. 507 (ruling that providing false statements during the purchase of a property was a breach of the policy); Taubman, 160 F.2d at 162 (); Stover, 658 F.Supp. at 160 (concluding that ### Response: holding that an insured partys refusal to produce requested documents constituted a breach of the insurance contract " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: a bag of marijuana and an audiotape recording of the drug transaction, on which the defendant’s voice was identified. 85 S.W.3d at 462. In addition, a videotape recording was made of the informant’s actions as he entered the defendant’s car. Id. This evidence was held to sufficiently connect the defendant with the crime. Id. Likewise, in Jefferson, an officer testified that he searched the informant, placed an audio recording device on her and turned it on, observed the informant enter a house to make a drug transaction, turned the device off when she returned and introduced the recording into evidence and identified the defendant’s voice on the recording. This evidence was held sufficient to corroborate the informant’s testimony. 99 S.W.3d at 792; see also Brown, 159 S.W.3d at 708-11 (); Dennis v. State, 151 S.W.3d 745, 749 ### Response: holding informants testimony corroborated by evidence consisting of defendants presence at scene coupled with cash found in his pocket carrying serial numbers matching those provided to informant for controlled buy and videotape of transaction included conversation of defendant regarding prior drug sale " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: back condition that prevents the individual from performing any heavy labor job would be substantially limited in the major life activity of working because the individual’s impairment eliminates his or her ability to perform a class of jobs.” Id. Despite the broad nature of this example, the Court finds Whitfield also has not met her burden of proving she is substantially limited in the major life activity of work. While the record contains evidence of Whitfield’s medical limitations, there exists nothing connecting those limitations to ability to perform other jobs in the community. The general statement in the Interpretive Guidelines about back injuries, in isolation, cannot boost Whitfield over the summary judgment hurdle. Cf. McKay v. Toyota Motor Mfg., 110 F.3d 369 (6th Cir.1997) (); Bolton v.

True enough. But federal FOIA jurisprudence leaves no doubt that a lawyer’s request for information must plainly spell out the representative capacity and the identity of the client before that client can bring a FOIA action in her own name. When an attorney files a FOIA request on behalf of a client, the attorney is the one to whom courts have granted standing to sue. See Constangy, Brooks & Smith, by Bridgesmith ex rel. Teledyne Indus., Inc. v. NLRB, 851 F.2d 839, 840 n. 1 (6th Cir.1988) (noting that the plaintiff, a law firm, had standing to request the FOIA documents on behalf of its client); see also Burka v.

Wilhite, 858 S.W.2d 293, 296 (Mo.App.1993). The trial court accepted the explanations. We have examined the explanations and the circumstances which appear in the record. It is clear from the findings that the trial court viewed the plausibility of the state’s explanations in light of the totality of the facts and circumstances of the ease, as Parker requires.

Scheduling orders are clearly valuable tools for promoting the efficient management of a trial court’s docket. However, as the Maryland Court of Special Appeals recognized in Maddox: [T]he imposition of a sanction that precludes a material witness from testifying, and, consequently, effectively dismisses a potentially meritorious claim without a trial, should be reserved for egregious violations of the court’s scheduling order, and should be supported by evidence of willful or contemptuous or otherwise opprobrious behavior on the part of the party or counsel. 921 A.2d at 922.

Examining the encounter in context, however, in light of the testimony of Stratton, I find that the second movement was witnessed as the officers approached, before McKoy was asked to leave the car, and that promptly upon being asked, McKoy left his vehicle. 3 . Of course, the police did not actually stop the car in this case. At the point when they asked McKoy to leave the car, however, they had seized him for purposes of the Fourth Amendment. The police officers in this case were justified in stopping the defendant and effecting this initial seizure because they had probable cause to believe he had committed two separate traffic violations. See Whren v. U.S., 517 U.S. 806, 819, 116 S.Ct. 1769, 135 L.Ed.2d 89 (1996) ().

The first and the third of these factors apply to any multiunit rental facility. The second is irrelevant: Hoosiers who live in rural areas are entitled to no less protection against invasion of their homes. The fourth, assuming it applied to the third home, is in and of itself innocuous. Probable cause clearly existed with respect to the first two homes, and the totality of the circumstances established some suspicion or possibility of a joint drug-dealing enterprise at the Farm. But this is not enough. The affidavit did not allege any facts linking the third home to the surrounding criminal activity. The lack of any nexus is a critical point in assessing the reasonableness of the officer’s reliance on the warrant. Cf. Stabenow v. State, 495 N.E.2d 197 (Ind.Ct.App.1986) ().

Likewise, the legislative history of the FLSA cited by Defendants does not support such a claim. See Herman, 172 F.3d at 144 (noting that the text of the FLSA makes no provision for contribution or indemnification and the Act’s legislative history is silent on a right to contribution or indemnification). Other cases cited by Defendants demonstrate the federal courts’ refusal to recognize a federal common law right to indemnity or contribution except in limited circumstances. (Defs.’ Resp. at 7, citing, e.g., Northwest Airlines, Inc. v. Transport Workers Union of Am., AFL-CIO, 451 U.S. 77, 101 S.Ct. 1571, 67 L.Ed.2d 750 (1981) (), and Tumer/Ozanne v.

Thus, Plaintiffs complaints of verbal abuse, harassment, and threats should be dismissed with prejudice as frivolous. To the extent that Plaintiff complains that certain Defendants failed to answer his jail grievances or denied his grievances and the appeals, he has not demonstrated that he had a constitutionally protected interest in the Taylor County Jail grievance procedures.

Prior to the 1952 Patent Act, no protection was afforded to patent applications filed as a result of a restriction requirement — referred to at the time as a “requirement for division” — and such applications were often rejected or held invalid on double patenting grounds. See Studiengesellschaft Kohle mbH v. N. Petrochemical Co., 784 F.2d 351, 358 (Fed.Cir.1986) (“SGK”) (Newman, J., concurring); In re Eisler, 40 C.C.P.A. 913, 203 F.2d 726 (1953). Thus, although a requirement for division embodied a determination by the PTO that the patent application contained more than one patentably distinct invention, such a determination did not protect the divisional application from rejection on grounds of double patenting.

The current Sixth Circuit precedent treats regulations as “laws” under § 1983 and looks to determine whether the regulation at issue creates rights. In essence, regulations are treated in the same manner as statutes for purposes of determining whether they create new enforceable rights under § 1983. A such, district courts in the Sixth Circuit must determine, just as with federal statutes, whether federal regulations presented by § 1983 plaintiffs create enforceable rights. This court questions whether the Sixth Circuit’s rule can be correct in light of the Supreme Court’s decisions in Alexander v. Sandoval and Gonzaga University v. Doe.

Contrary to the assertions in plaintiffs complaint, Mr. Evans’ March 29, 2012 memorandum does not satisfy either of the requirements for informal claims. First, although the memorandum states that Mr. Evans verbally “conceded” that Mr. Ishler “has an open informal claim due to the documented discussions with IRS officials,” Compl. Ex.

Christopher assumed the outstanding AgSouth mortgage, which had an unpaid principal balance of around $700,000, and paid Banks $500,000 for Banks’s share of the property’s equity. Christopher did not make any payment to Cox for his share of that equity. In other words, Christopher received title to the Cox tract in exchange for consideration equal to about half the property’s value: $1.2 versus $2.5 million. A gross disparity between the sale price and the actual value of the land is evidence of the parties’ intent to create a security interest—a mortgage—rather than a sale. See Russell v.

Even if the marketability discount taken by Sieg is not allowed in Iowa, an issue we do not decide, the impact this error had on Sieg’s valuation of the stock was slight and would certainly support the trial court’s exercise of discretion to deny the substantial attorney fees sought by the dissenters, particularly in view of the fact the use of a marketability discount was not done in bad faith.

Among the forms was an arbitration agreement. When the Estate filed this action, the defendants timely requested arbitration. The Estate argued that the arbitration agreement was unconscionable and otherwise unenforceable. In an order that did not explain its reasoning, the trial court denied arbitration. There is no evidence that the signing of these documents involved procedural un-conscionability, and the trial court did not find that any procedural unconscionability occurred in this case. From the transcript of the hearing, it appears the trial court held that the agreement was unenforceable because it was substantively unconscionable. We conclude that the trial court erred in this ruling. See FL-Carrollwood Care, LLC v. Gordon, 72 So.3d 162 (Fla. 2d DCA 2011) ().

To the extent plaintiff also set forth claims against Green and Porter under Title VII, Title VII does not provide for liability against individual employees. See Gary v.

W.S. Life Ins. Co., 347 F.3d 161, 172 (6th Cir.2003)). The court held that the administrator’s denial of benefits failed under this standard. Contrary to the plaintiffs assertion, the existence of a conflict of interest that arises from a plan administrator deciding issues in which the company has a financial interest does not require a different standard, although the conflict “shapes” the application of the arbitrary and capricious standard of review.

This calculation of “seven days” indicates that the court necessarily included either the date the coram nobis petition was denied or the date the habeas petition was filed. Upon consideration, it must have been the latter, because in determining whether a habeas petition is timely filed, a court must include the petition filing date within the limitations period.

Finally, Perez-Ramos’s contention that we must call for en banc review based on a conflict between Estrada-E spinoza and Medinor-Villa is without merit. See Pelayo-Gareia v.

Although the Garcetti/Pickering analysis applies to an association based retaliation claim, a plaintiff need only satisfy the first, fourth, and fifth prongs of the test. See Shrum v.

The chance to shape the jury’s interpretation of an important tactical decision is at least as important as the chance to make the decision itself. And regardless of the judge’s leeway in granting the jurors’ request, the substance and wording of the judge’s response could have influenced the jurors’ interpretation of the tape’s absence. We have repeatedly recognized how seriously jurors consider judges’ responses to their questions. In federal court, we allow trial judges substantial th Cir.1986) ().

A trial court abuses its discretion if it acts in an arbitrary or unreasonable manner or without reference to any guiding rules or principles. Downer v. Aquamarine Operators, Inc., 701 S.W.2d 238, 241-42 (Tex.1985). However, a trial court has no discretion in determining what the law is or in applying the law to the facts. Walker v. Packer, 827 S.W.2d 833, 840 (Tex.1992); Baylor Univ. Med. Ctr. v. Biggs, 237 S.W.3d 909, 916 (Tex.App.-Dallas 2007, pet. denied). Therefore, when the issues are purely questions of law, as here, we effectively conduct a de novo review. See Pallares v. Magic Valley Elec.

Plaintiff therefore identifies no other individuals who were promoted when her alleged request was denied. Even if the Court looks more expansively at plaintiffs proposed comparables described above, there is no evidence that individuals performing work similar to plaintiff were employed at or above a grade 14 level. In fact, there is evidence to the contrary. Plaintiff herself admits that Iris Lane performed similar work and was also a grade 13. Id. 52:4-5.

Pazzanese, 982 F.2d 251 (8th Cir.1992), argues that criminal facilitation is never a “violent felony” under the ACCA. Although Sawyers commingles the arguments, there are essentially two components to this claim: first, because of the categorical approach, facilitation crimes cannot be classified as a “violent felony” based on the underlying crime; and second, facilitation does not meet the inherent mens rea requirement in the ACCA. The first argument is quickly disposed of. First, criminal facilitation in Tennessee requires the government to show that the underlying crime actually occurred. See Parker, 932 S.W.2d at 951 ()(fodtnote omitted); see also State v.

Shell’s “default rule” argument is both untimely and lacking in merit. As noted above, Shell raised the argument for the first time at oral argument. Shell’s briefs do not even allude to the default rule, much less articulate a position on the relevance and application of the rule to the facts of this case. By failing to brief the point, Shell waived its right to press its default rule argument here. See, e.g., Novosteel SA v. United States, 284 F.3d 1261, 1273-74 (Fed.Cir.2002) ().

Here, the Barners’ attorney sent the complaint and summons for T/C LLC by certified mail to the wrong registered agent, which accepted service on T/C LLC’s behalf and sent a return receipt to the Barners’ attorney showing that service had been completed. This case is much closer to Cole and Clouse than to cases in which the Arkansas courts have held that the savings statute did not apply. See, e.g., Posey v. St. Bernard’s Healthcare, Inc., 365 Ark. 154, 226 S.W.3d 757, 761, 765-66 (2006) (); Hicks v.

Significantly, § 42-56-22, like § 42-56-21, vests Wall with total discretion over whether Young may work at all, by making the labor of prisoners subject to the “discretion of the director” and contingent upon receipt of the “express consent of the director.” Such discretion evidences a lack of intent to provide prisoners with a protected property interest. See, e.g., Jennings v. Lombardi, 70 F.3d 994, 996 (8th Cir.1995) (reasoning that “[wjhere the statute or policy ... grants to the decisionmaker discretionary authority in implementing it, a protected property interest is not created”); cf.

However, a fair read of the application in its entirety makes this point clear. The application states that Slycord and Carroll-White’s shared residence was raided on December 4, 1999, and that officers found a substantial amount of methamphetamine therein. It further states that the signing officer interviewed Carroll-White and Slycord two days later, on December 6. The issuing judge could reasonably infer that Carroll-White and Slycord were likely to face serious drug charges. Moreover, even if the warrant application were corrected as Oleson suggests, probable cause would still exist to support its issuance. See United States v. Jacobs, 986 F.2d 1231, 1233-34 (8th Cir.1993) ().

Only one racist comment was mentioned— the “rug head” remark — and that comment was directly tied to the failure to promote one of the plaintiffs’ black colleagues. The plaintiffs claim to have verbally notified EEOC officials about other facts that support their hostile-work-environment claim, but the record contains no evidence beyond bald, nonspecific assertions that they did so. No decision in this circuit has held that EEOC charges regarding discrete acts of discrimination are alone sufficient to put the EEOC on notice of a hostile-work-environment claim. Several unpublished decisions of this court have in fact held to the contrary. See, e.g., Brown v. City of Cleveland, 294 Fed.Appx. 226, 234-35 (6th Cir.2008) (); Scott v. Eastman Chem.

Medina-Copete, 757 F.3d 1092, 1108 (10th Cir.2014). In determining whether Mr. Smith’s testimony had a substantial influence on the outcome of the trial, we And three factors relevant to this case: (1) the strength, importance, and pervasiveness of the erroneously admitted testimony; (2) the strength of the admissible evidence; and (3) whether the district court’s instructions to the jury mitigated any error. See, e.g., United States v.

Nervousness Similarly, nervous behavior is not in itself sufficient to create reasonable suspicion, but is a factor that may be considered in the analysis. United States v.

See, e.g., Harris Trust & Sav. Bank, 530 U.S. at 252, 120 S.Ct. 2180 (“[W]hatever [the trustee] recovers he will hold subject to the trust.”).

Because state courts are not bound under AEDPA by precedent other than that established by the Supreme Court, Rodriguez is immaterial to our review of the state court’s decision to the extent Sessoms relies on it to argue that clarifying questions were required.

Another example of this usage, albeit in a slightly different context, appears in the citizen-suit provision of the Clean Water Act; under this statute, suits may not be instituted by individuals or organizations if the EPA or the appropriate state enforcement authority “has commenced and is diligently pursuing a civil or criminal action ... to require compliance” with the Act’s substantive provisions. 33 U.S.C. § 1365(b)(1)(B) (emphasis added). Despite this reference to “requir[ing] compliance” in the statutory language, the Supreme Court held in Romero-Barcelo that the Clean Water Act does not require the issuance of an injunction in all cases where a statutory violation has been identified. 456 U.S. at 313, 102 S.Ct. 1798 ().

Indeed, Gulf and Western, holding that the agricultural exemption does not apply to tomato packing facilities that processed tomatoes grown by independent farmers, is controlling here. As in Gulf and Western, the processing activities here are subject to the requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act since they are independent of the contract growers’ activity and nonagricultural in nature.

However, the court held that “the plea proceeding includes a lucid description of the conduct for which Palmer was convicted, that conduct manifestly constitutes a ‘crime of violence’ ..., and Palmer’s on-the-record agreement to the description of his conduct proffered by the prosecuting attorney results in the functional equivalent of a plea agreement with respect to that conduct.” Id. at 59; see also United States v.

When the benefit plans and the collective bargaining agreement are read as a whole contract, it is clear that the phrase “will be covered” cannot mean a lifetime of unaltered coverage, as the plaintiffs contend, because the health benefit plans contain language in which the insurance company and NSTAR reserve the right to change or cancel coverage.

The court noted that Press-Enterprise was premised on the first amendment right of the public and the press to attend voir dire proceedings but added, “Nevertheless, there can be little doubt that the explicit Sixth Amendment right of the accused is no less protective of a public trial than the implicit First Amendment right of the press and public.” (Waller, 467 U.S. at 46, 81 L.

Wyche and McCord are thus archetypal eicirmsic-fabrication cases. Moreover, the confession cases the majority relies upon are wholly distinguishable.

Even in those cases that do not involve this precise species of misrepresentation, the misrepresentation is still intrinsic to the case the police are actually investigating. See, e.g., Escobar v.

As this statement makes clear, the party from whom damages are sought must have acted under color of state law. Therefore, the relevant inquiry in Yanaki was whether the private defendants (the only parties sued) acted under color of law. We affirmed the dismissal of the complaint because we found that the plaintiffs had failed to allege sufficiently that the private defendants had acted under color of state law because the conduct of the private defendants in obtaining the relevant court orders could not be attributed to the state so as to satisfy the first part of the under-color-of-law test.

To begin, Rule 9(h) applied to Panek’s counterclaim because his claims for breach of contract and negligence were saving 5, 8 (D.Mass.1988) (‘Where a claim is made in accordance with Rule 9(h), the existence of diversity as an alternative basis of jurisdiction will not entitle plaintiff to a jury trial.”); Banks v.

Castellanos, 81 F.3d 108, 111 (9th Cir.1996). Further, the vulnerable victim enhancement serves the special needs of vulnerable victims by creating a greater level of societal protection for those who are most in need of such protection. See United States v. Randall, 162 F.3d 557, 560 (9th Cir.1998).

See Mack v. Otis Elevator Co., 326 F.3d at 122. Bell Atlantic submits that, on the record before this court, this question of vicarious liability can be resolved in its favor as a matter of law, thereby providing an alternative ground for affirming the district court’s award of summary judgment. In the exercise of our discretion and in the interests of judicial economy, we address this issue, see Booking v. General Star Mgmt.

The underlying nature of Multi-County’s contract claim is not altered simply because it seeks to prevent the governmental entities from continuing the alleged breach of contract in the future rather than seeking monetary damages for a breach that may have occurred in the past. In sum, this is a contract action to which governmental immunity applies. See, e.g., Dodgen, 158 Tex. at 79, 308 S.W.2d at 840-41 (); Anderson v.

See Martinez, 132 S.Ct. at 1318-19 (citations omitted). Here, Abdur’Rahman met these requirements. 1. Petitioner alleges trial counsel was ineffective Abdur’Rahman argues that his trial counsel was ineffective in failing to address cumulative errors and correct the accomplice jury instruction. (See Pet’r State ment, R. 367, Page1D 520-23.) This is sufficient to meet the first prong of the Martinez/Trevino test. 2.

The question here is what constitutes a legally sufficient reason for a municipality executing its congressionally mandated duties under TEFRA. While we are mindful of the guidance Title VII often provides in FHA,cases, the defense of “business necessity” in the employment discrimination arena does not transpose cleanly into the circumstances present here.

The FAA requires the enforcement of an arbitration agreement upon proof (1) that a written agreement to arbitrate exists, and (2) that the written agreement is contained within a contract involving “commerce.” 9 U.S.C.A. § 2 (1947). However, Mary argues the FAA does not apply to insurance contracts in South Carolina. Section 15-48-10(b)(4) of the South Carolina Code (Supp. 2012) provides that a written agreement to arbitrate shall not apply to “any claim arising out of personal injury, based on contract or tort, or to any insured or beneficiary under any insurance policy or annuity contract.” Mary correctly states the FAA’s mandate conflicts with section 15-48-10(b)(4).

Even if I did not take this view, I would grant the petition because it raises the recurring issue whether evidence of prior unadjudicated criminal conduct may be introduced at the sentencing stage of a capital trial. As I have noted before, see, e. g., Miranda v. California, 486 U. S. 1038 (1988) (Marshall, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari); Williams v. Lynaugh, 484 U. S. 935 (1987) (Marshall, J., dissenting from denial of certiorari), the States’ highest courts have reached varying conclusions on this issue. In addition, the petition poses a second question of profound constitutional significance: whether a defendant’s waiver of his right to a jury in a capital sentencing , 492 N. E. 2d 1303, 1315-1316 (1986) (), cert. denied, 479 U. S. 1101 (1987).

Specifically, for the first quarter of her base period her pay checks were issued by the Peace Child Care Center, Inc. In the last three quarters of Comanic’s base period, her pay checks were issued directly by the Church. We find that these employers both qualify as non-liable employers under section 443.036(21), Florida Statutes (2002), and w only with small children, performing day-to-day responsibilities, with no direct contact with the Church, is irrelevant in determining the primary purpose of the child care center.

Frederick v. Action Tire Co., 744 A.2d 762, 766 (Pa.Super.Ct.1999). We agree with defendant that decisions of the Worker’s Compensation Appeal Board may preclude relitigation of the same issue, that is the causation of plaintiffs injuries. See, e.g., id. ().

(e) Organized, became a member of or served as an official in a homeowner's association, or similar organization, at a local, regional, state or national level. (d) Retained counsel or an agent to represent his interests. The plain language of this section creates a retaliatory eviction defense that may be raised in an unlawful detainer action. This is an affirmative defense, and the tenant therefore bears the burden to prove that the primary motive for the eviction is retaliation for tenant actions that are protected by the statute. Cf. Wright v. Brady, 126 Idaho 671, 889 P.2d 105 (Ct.App.1995) (). Here, Powell presented evidence and argument ### Response: holding that retaliatory eviction is an affirmative defense to an unlawful detainer action brought pursuant to ic 6301 et seq " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: company. The member-agent allegedly funneled the substantial profits acquired by these schemes through her attorney’s trust account into M.I.’s bank accounts. Because the title company im-permissibly used the Fund’s title insurance and closing forms to conduct these deals, the Fund maintained that the substantial profits should be preserved so the money would remain available to insure the non-party purchasers. The trial court granted the Fund’s ex parte motion for injunction. Following a hearing, the trial court denied M.I.’s motion to dissolve the injunction, but modified some of its terms. The instant appeal and cross-appeal followed. Generally, an injunction seeking to freeze a bank account is improper. E.g., Hiles v. Auto Bahn Fed’n, Inc., 498 So.2d 997, 998 (Fla. 4th DCA 1986) ().

See 34 C.F.R. § 674.49(b)-(e). Therefore, we hold that KSU knowingly and voluntarily waived its Eleventh Amendment immunity by agreeing, as a prerequisite to its participation in the Perkins Loan program, to undertake certain enumerated actions in federal bankruptcy court in the event of a claim for discharge filed by the student-borrower. C. Finally, even though we have concluded that KSU waived immunity by entering into an agreement with the DOE which subjects it to the jurisdiction of the federal bankruptcy court, we must examine whether the waiver is valid.

The latter would require us to glean an “assault prong” from two subsections and apply the simple assault clause. But without a good reason to do so, we cannot disregard the statutory structure of § 111(a) in this manner, particularly where the text clearly directs that “acts in violation of this section constitute only simple assault.” Contra Jones, 526 U.S. at 239, 119 S.Ct. 1215 (interpreting statute contrary to structure to avoid “grave and doubtful constitutional questions”). Moreover, in addition to the plain language of the statute, case law supports Vallery by stating or implying that the simple assault provision applies to the entirety of § 111(a).

Arrington, 309 F.3d 40, 44 (D.C.Cir.2002) (); Yates, 304 F.3d at 822 (“We hold that, in the ### Response: holding the second element of assault is assault resist oppose impede intimidate or interfere with and that the word forcibly modifies each of the prohibited acts specified in the second element " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: 478 U.S. 675, 684, 106 S.Ct. 3159, 3165, 92 L. Ed.2d 549, 559 (1986). Moreover, we agree with the trial court that there is little doubt that, in the context of a boarding school, the school effectively acted as the “household” within which the abusive conduct occurred. The school acted in a parental capacity to the students within its care, providing for them necessary shelter, food, education, recreation, and succor. Its control over and duty of care for the students housed within its confines did not markedly differ from that assumed by parents. See Dale v. Boy Scouts of Am., 160 N.J. 562, 602, 734 A.2d 1196 (1999), rev’d on other grounds, 530 U.S. 640, 120 S.Ct. 2446, 147 L. Ed.2d 554 (2000). Compare Smith v.

Even assuming that the father’s dependency petition was sufficient to invoke the juvenile court’s jurisdiction, and we maintain that it was not, the juvenile court failed to address the allegation of dependency in any of its orders or judgments. There is no mention of dependency in the juvenile court’s final judgment entered on July 17, 2008, yet the juvenile court proceeded to make an adjudication of the child’s custody. In K.C.G. v. S.J.R., 46 So.3d 499, 501-02 (Ala.Civ.App.2010), this court stated: “Once the dependency jurisdiction of a juvenile court has been properly invoked, the juvenile court has an 2) (); J.W. v.

Once the check was issued, Arlynn no longer had legal control over the funds, even if he retained physical control over them. Arlynn therefore did not have the right to use the money for any other purpose than to give it to Hilton. Hilton maintains that Arlynn had dominion over the $65,000 because he was Video Depot’s principal and, in that capacity, directed Video Depot to purchase the cashier’s check. The bankruptcy courts are split on the question of whether the principal of a debtor corporation necessarily is the initial transferee of corporate funds used to satisfy a personal obligation. Compare General Electric Capital Auto Lease, Inc. v. Broach (In re Lucas Dallas, Inc.), 185 B.R. 801, 809 (9th Cir.BAP1995) (); Richardson v. FDIC (In re M.

Cornell Coop. Extension, 252 F.3d 545, 554 (2d Cir.2001), some district courts have generally concluded that “a passage of two months between the protected activity and the adverse employment action seems to be the dividing line.” Cunningham v.

However, because the Second Circuit has found periods well beyond two months to be sufficient to suggest a causal relationship under certain circumstances, courts must carefully consider the time lapse in light of the entire record.

Petitioners allege that they are “children of the Gomez-Romero Family,” a “particular social group” entitled to protection under the Act. 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(l)(B)(i). While we agree that kinship ties may constitute a “particular social group,” Al-Ghorbani v.

To the extent that a custodian's mistake might inform the promptness of the disclosure (and thus the wrongfulness of the denial), we agree with courts interpreting FOIA that the denial would not be wrongful only if the custodian made reasonable efforts and acted in good faith. See, e.g., Ill. Inst. for Continuing Legal Educ. v. U.S. Dep't of Labor, 545 F.Supp. 1229, 1237 (N.D.Ill.1982) () (Emphasis added.).

Specifically, the letter states, “Enclosed, please find copies of documents from [the plaintiff] that relate to her EEO investigation” and then lists the enclosed documents. Id. The letter does not mention discrimination or harassment. Therefore, the June 2007 letter is not a protected activity. See Paquin, 119 F.3d at 31; see also Fox v. Eagle Distrib.

Moving to whether the agency’s action following the November 2006 letter was materially adverse, the defendant claims that proposed removals do not qualify as materially adverse actions. Def.’s Reply at 21. Proposed removals, however, are exactly the kind of acts which the statute covers. See Powell, 390 F.Supp.2d at 9 (); Willingham v.

He argues that an involuntary manslaughter instruction was warranted because he attempted to use nondeadly force, but did so in a criminally negligent manner and death resulted. See United States v. Begay, 833 F.2d 900, 901 (10th Cir.1987). As discussed in the preceding section, a rational jury could have believed Arvin’s actions were in self-defense. This court has recognized that involuntary manslaughter “can occur in circumstances that would support a defense of self defense.” Begay, 833 F.2d at 901 (quoting United States v. Manuel, 706 F.2d 908, 915 (9th Cir.1983)); see also United States v. Browner, 889 F.2d 549, 555 (5th Cir.1989) (); United States v.

In order to show that a homestead has been abandoned, there must be a strong showing that the debtor did not intend to return to the residence. In re Goode, 146 B.R. 860 (Bankr.M.D.Fla.1992). A debtor that leaves his home for financial, health, or family reasons does not abandon the homestead. In re Imprasert, 86 B.R. 721, 723 (Bankr.M.D.Fla. 1988).

The information on the check-list form was for purposes of determining Phillips’ eligibility for state medical welfare benefits, not DIB or SSI. A finding of disability under the Act is a legal determination to be made by the ALJ. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1527(e), 416.927(e). The opinion expressed by checking a box on a form is conclusoty in nature. Indeed, Dr. Falatyn did not cite to any specific work restrictions resulting from Phillips' impairments that would have prevented him from performing all work activity. Under the Commissioner’s regulations, this kind of conclusory report is not entitled to significant weight. 20 C.F.R. §§ 404.1527(d)(2)(ii), 416.927(d)(2)(ii); see also Mason v. Shalala, 994 F.2d 1058, 1965 (3d Cir.1993) (). 10 .

Therefore, we hold that the Department’s reinstatement of the 1987 regulations was arbitrary and capricious in that the Department’s action did not follow procedures required by law. See 5 U.S.C. § 706(2); see also Mack Trucks, 682 F.3d at 95-96 (vacating agency interim rule when good cause exception did not apply, and APA notice and comment procedures were not followed); Buschmann, 676 F.2d at 358 (same); Kollett v.

Second, permitting the police to attempt an unannounced forcible entry subverts the interest in protecting private property. Finally, attempting entry without warning precludes the officers’ ability to recognize possible mistakes in identity or location of the suspect or the place to be searched. Therefore, our previous analysis in Fike no longer serves as the basis for assessing attempted forcible entries under the knock-and-announce rule. Rather, the reasonableness test outlined by the Supreme Court in Richards applies with equal force to attempts at forcible entry as it does to the actual breaking and entering of a person’s home. See also United States v. Gable, 401 F.2d 765, 766 (3rd Cir.1968) (); United States v.

The existence or absence of subject matter jurisdiction is a question of law we review de novo. Barnes, 127 S.W.3d at 846. Despite the general requirement that a party seeking relief by mandamus must establish he has no adequate remedy by appeal, such is not the case when the trial court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.

They argue that plaintiffs’ experts reach contradictory conclusions and have not made findings supporting the alleged eight county geographic market. Plaintiffs allege in their amended complaint that the alleged antitrust violation, injury and damage occurred in the eight county area and that defendants and their co-conspirators have market power in this area. The court of appeals has approved geographic markets consisting of multiple counties in antitrust cases involving the provision of health care.

After a review of' the record, we are not left “with a definite and firm conviction” that the district court made a mistake.

The trial court sentenced Mr. Perez to concurrent terms of life imprisonment for the home invasion robbery and the armed burglary and to another concurrent term of fifteen years’ imprisonment for the false impersonation offense.

It has been held that convictions arising from a single episode for home invasion robbery and burglary violate either double jeopardy or section 775.021(4)(b)(3). See, e.g., Mendez v.

See Harrell, 754 F.2d at 904 (“If Congress had intended dischargeability to be determined by whether an obligation could be imposed under state law, it might have addressed dischargeability in those terms.”). In fact, as indicated above, the legislative history of section 523(a)(5) demonstrates that Congress determined that state support laws should not be determinative of whether a particular obligation is dischargeable.

Nonetheless, Dr. Stahl’s testimony had some relevance. We cannot ascertain the weight the court placed on Dr. Stahl’s testimony due to the court’s limited findings. Therefore, we cannot gauge the degree, if any, to which Father was disadvantaged by this testimony. We note, however, that Father chose not to seek a continuance to depose Dr. Stahl. Moreover, the timing of the disclosure was not entirely Mother’s fault, but was due, in part, to the late date on which the parties received the custody evaluation. Under these circumstances, we cannot say the family court abused its discretion in allowing Dr. Stahl to testify. II.

That ruling was not an abuse of discretion. A trial court has authority to preclude this type of cross-examination on allegedly false prior accusations when it reasonably determines that exploration of the previous incident would essentially require an unhelpful trial within a trial.

Nor has Data shown that there was an adversarial proceeding between HCFA and Data that resulted in the issuance of the 1994 memorandum. See Roxco, Ltd. v. United States, 60 Fed.Cl. 39, 45 (2004) ().

Cimco did not object to the conditional submission of its attorneys’ fees question; consequently, Cimco has failed to preserve any error from the jury’s failure to answer its attorneys’ fees question. See, e.g., Envtl. Procedures, Inc. v. Guidry, 282 S.W.3d 602, 631 (Tex. App.— Houston [14th Dist.] 2009, pet. denied) (); Hunter v.

Once the 'moving party has met its burden, the non-moving party “must do more than simply show that there is some metaphysical doubt as to the material facts.” Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 586, 106 S.Ct. 1348, 89 L.Ed.2d 538 (1986). Rather, the non-moving party must go beyond the pleadings and identify specific facts that show a genuine issue for trial. Id. at 587, 106 S.Ct. 1348. Only genuine disputes over facts that might affect the outcome of the lawsuit will properly preclude the entry of summary judgment. Anderson, 477 U.S. at 248, 106 S.Ct. 2505; see also Arpin v.

Furthermore, as Respondent points out, Concepcion acknowledged in one of his pleadings filed in this case that he had heard the audiotape when his attorney visited him at the prison. The audiotape of the witness conversation therefore cannot be considered “newly discovered” evidence for purposes of an actual-innocence tolling exception to AED-PA’s statute of limitations (assuming that such an exception exists).

Most significantly, the transcript of proceedings reveals that there was no discussion of defendant’s waiver of his right to a jury. Instead, the record reveals only that defendant’s trial counsel scheduled a bench trial in September 2004 and the trial court referenced defendant’s signed jury waiver immediately before proceeding to the bench trial. Contrary to the State’s assertions, these two instances are insufficient to constitute a discussion of defendant’s waiver of his right to a jury trial in open court. Furthermore, although defendant signed a jury waiver, the existence of a written jury waiver is not dispositive of the issue of whether that waiver is valid. Bracey, 213 Ill. 2d at 269-70; Scott, 186 Ill. 2d at 284 (). In this case, where there was no discussion ### Response: holding that written jury waivers alone cannot validly waive a defendants right to a jury trial " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: in effect, it is unrelated to the range of the defendant's punishments. Unlike parole, probation, or the length of imprisonment, the requirement to register as a sex offender is beyond the control of the trial court. The judge has no discretion whatsoever in determining whether the defendant will have to comply with registration statutes; instead, it is a legal obligation, predetermined by the legislature, placed on those convicted of particular crimes and is an automatic operation of statute. Similar to the consequence of losing one's driver's license or the right to possess a firearm, the registration requirement is intended to act not as a criminal punishment but as a prophylactic civil remedy. See, eg., Smith v. Doe, 538 U.S. 84, 95-96, 123 S.Ct. 1140, 155 L.Ed.2d 164 (2003) (); United States v.

Judge McBryde does not, so far as we can determine, ever challenge this basic notion anymore than the plaintiff in Lyons claimed a right to engage in the sort of conduct that (he said) commonly led to police use of chokeholds. Indeed at oral argument counsel for Judge McBryde specifically acknowledged that at least some of the conduct “could be considered inappropriate.” See Oral Arg. Tr. at 80-81. With this decision’s confirmation of the Judicial Council’s authority to sanction Judge McBryde for consistent failure to adhere to this norm, we think the risk of recurrence fairly slight. We recognize that docket limitations can be a very serious matter. See Wozniak v. Conry, 236 F.3d 888, 890 (7th Cir.2001) (). But here the two restrictions on Judge ### Response: holding that depriving a tenured professor of all teaching and research responsibilities affected a property interest sufficiently to entitle him to some kind of a hearing " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: were not against Deitz personally. Because sanctions were not awarded on those grounds, we remand the case so that the trial court can consider an award of sanctions on these grounds. C. Calculation of Sanctions The appellees’ motion for sanctions was made not against Harris but against Deitz, his client. The first time anyone asked for sanctions against Harris was on the morning of the sanctions hearing when appellees’ counsel, in oral argument, made such a request. A part of the sanctions leveled against Harris was for opposing sanctions. Such an award was improper. It cannot be said that Harris lacked substantial justification in opposing sanctions against his client, Deitz, when he successfully opposed them. See U.S. Health, Inc. v. State, 87 Md.App. 116, 132, 589 A.2d 485 (), cert. denied, 324 Md. 69, 595 A.2d 482 ### Response: holding that rule 1341 does not provide for expenses incurred in asserting the claim for sanctions under the rule except perhaps to the extent that the offending party resists the claim for counsel fees without substantial justification for doing so " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that SEIU has abandoned this claim. Additionally, the preliminary injunction was issued by the district court pursuant to section 301(a). Thus, our resolution of the jurisdictional issue has relevance to the ongoing litigation. Moreover, and essential to our determination here, in the preliminary injunction the district court explicitly preserved a portion of the TRO as still effective after issuance of the injunction. The preliminary injunction states, “all defendants in this action remain subject to paragraph three of the TRO and subsequent orders regarding the imaging of electronic devices.” (Order Granting In Part Mot. For Prelim. Inj. at 17). Thus it seems the TRO has not expired and remains enforceable. Compare Am. Tunaboat Ass’n v. Brown, 67 F.3d 1404, 1407 (9th Cir.1995) (), with Negrete, 523 F.3d at 1098 (holding ### Response: holding plaintiffs appeal of the denial of a preliminary injunction moot where defendants directive no longer in effect " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: William L. Prosser, Handbook of The Law of Torts, p. 2 (4th ed.1971). Wrongful injunction falls within this concept of civil wrong. The duty to avoid the harms caused to a defendant by an inappropriate injunction is perhaps best explained as a special duty created when the government establishes a special relationship with a person by bringing suit against that person. See Everton v. Willard, 468 So.2d 936, 938 (Fla.1985); Simpson v. City of Miami, 700 So.2d 87 (Fla. 3d DCA 1997); Hartley v. Floyd, 512 So.2d 1022 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987). Although we conclude that the claim is in the nature of strict liability, we also conclude that wrongful injunction is a “wrongful act” for purposes of the waiver in section 768.28. See Schick v. Florida Dep’t of Agric., 504 So.2d 1318 (Fla. 1st DCA 1987) ().

By the end of 2012, Gibbens reported during an examination that he was “doing well” and never experienced pain beyond five or six on a scale of ten. Our review of this mixed evidence is not intended to minimize Gibbens’s ordeal. The mere presence of “periodic improvements and cessation of treatment” cannot support an ALJ’s decision to discount the severity of a claimant’s medical condition when the ALJ fails to consider other record evidence of declining health.

In United States v. Hawkins, our circuit warned it is improper to “substitute emotion for evidence by equating, directly or by innuendo, a verdict of guilty to a blow against the drug problem.” 595 F.2d 751, 754 (D.C.

Now, defen dants found liable for these tortious acts are subject to the general proportionate responsibility scheme. The Legislature seemed intent on creating a general scheme of proportionate responsibility for tort claims, subject to specific statutory exclusions.

Id. at 816. AE. addresses a situation where the parents did not yet have the opportunity to fulfill the service plan, and thus, a termination hearing at the same time as the permanency hearing was inappropriate. See id. However, here, the juvenile court did not conduct a disposi-tional hearing and a termination hearing at the same time-it held a permanency hearing and a termination hearing concurrently. Utah Code Ann. § 78-8a-312(6)(c)(8upp.2000) explicitly allows termination and permanency hearings to be combined. Cf. In re KM., 965 P.2d 576, 582 (Utah Ct.App.1998) (). C.

A contracting officer who must exercise some level of discretion to determine a contractor’s responsibility should be encouraged to base this exercise of discretion on objective, identifiable factors. Doing so does not make those factors special standards. Grimberg argues alternatively that if the eleven Comparison Chart criteria are not special standards, then the solicitation’s requirement that bidders submit three projects “of the size and complexity” of the South Wing project is improper because it is not specific and fails to put contractors on notice of what exactly was required. A valid special standard must be specific, objective, and mandatory. See In re Weldtest, Inc., Comp. Gen. Dec. B-216747.2, 84-2 CPD ¶ 612 (1984) (); In re Watch Security, Inc., Comp. Gen.

Juror Jester Alvies contends that Jester should have been removed and replaced with an alternate juror because her father-in-law is a second cousin of one of the victims. In response, the State directs us to subsection (a)(4) of the statute concerning relatives within the fifth degree of the defendant or victim. We agree with the State that Alvies cannot establish that Jester is related to the victim within the fifth degree and, thus, is not entitled to have her removed for cause under that section. See Whicker v. State, 511 N.E.2d 1062, 1064-65 (Ind.1987) ().

Cincinnati asks us to find Tri-Etch’s notice unreasonably late as a matter of law and affirm the trial court’s summary judgment order on this basis. However, regardless of when Cincinnati received notice of Young’s death and the Estate’s lawsuit, Cincinnati has always contended that Young’s death was not an “occurrence” entitled to coverage under its policies. Thus, we first must discern whether Cincinnati can show that it was prejudiced by Tri-Etch’s allegedly faulty notice. In Miller v.

A careful study of Supreme Court precedent, as well as that of the regional circuits, however, reveals that equitable tolling is available in a variety of circumstances, including when a party has been mentally incapacitated. The Supreme Court has yet to address whether mental illness can justify equitable tolling. In Irwin, an employment discrimination case, petitioner claimed that the 30-day period prescribed in 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-16(c) should be tolled because his attorney was out of the country and did not, therefore, personally receive the relevant n 1177, 1180 (6th Cir.1995) (); Miller v.

Indeed, it would be surprising if a wholly-owned subsidiary did not act for its parent’s benefit. In order to establish jurisdiction over Ipsen or Ipsen Pharma as a result of Biomeasure’s contacts with Louisiana, which is what plaintiffs are attempting to do, plaintiffs must demonstrate “something beyond the subsidiary’s mere presence within the bosom of the corporate family.” Dickson, 179 F.3d at 338.

Consequently, the Court follows the Second Circuit’s reasoning in McNamara and Green and finds that Rooker-Feldman does not apply to Plaintiffs claims that only seek monetary damages or prospective injunctive relief and do not seek to overturn a child custody award.

In King, the New Mexico Supreme Court held that “[ajfter a consideration of the purpose and policies underlying Rule 41, we adopt the view that even though the filing of a suit ordinarily tolls the applicable limitations period, when an action is dismissed without prejudice because of a failure to prosecute, the interruption is considered as never having occurred.” King, 646 P.2d at 1244-45.

However, “the meaning of language is inherently contextual [and] the [Supreme] Court has always reserved lenity for those situations in which a reasonable doubt persists about a statute’s intended scope even after resort to the language and structure, legislative history, and motivating policies of the statute.” United States v.

In addition, albeit for public or non-consensual conduct, there have been prosecutions under Arkansas’s sodomy statute as recently as 1988. See, e.g., Young v. State, 296 Ark. 394, 757 S.W.2d 544 (1988)(conviction for nonconsensual sodomy under Ark. Code Ann. § 5-14-122); United States v. Lemons, 697 F.2d 832 (8th Cir. 1983) (conviction under Ark. Code Ann. § 5-14-122 for consensual conduct in a public restroom). In addition, our sodomy statute has been used outside the criminal context in ways harmful to those who engage in same-sex conduct prohibited by the statute. See, e.g., Stowe v.

No New Mexico case addresses this question. At least one New Mexico case appears to assume that a junior mortgagee who has foreclosed his mortgage has a right to redeem. See Springer Corp. v.

Whimsicality, Inc. v. Rubie’s Costume Co., 891 F.2d at 455 (observing that garments’ decorative elements are “particularly unlikely to meet [the] test” of conceptual separability.) No different conclusion is warranted by § 101’s definition of a “useful article” as one having an intrinsic utilitarian function “that is not merely to portray the appearance of the article or to convey information.” Although Jovani argues that a decoration on a dress necessarily “portrays the appearance” of the dress and, therefore, is outside the scope of usefulness, we have construed this statutory phrase more narrowly to identify only a small category of items whose sole usefulness resides in their appearance.

Johnson, 298 N.C. 355, 369, 259 S.E.2d 752, 761 (1979), because the trial judge ‘sees what is done, and hears what is said. He is cognizant of all the surrounding circumstances, and is a better judge of the lati tude that ought to be allowed to counsel in the argument of any particular case.’ State v. Thompson, 278 N.C. 277, supporting the jury’s verdict notwithstanding improper characterizations regarding the veracity of witnesses’ statements has been sufficient in some cases to prevent the imposition of a new trial.

The Secretary offers no developed argumentation on this point and, as matters stand, we believe that this case is not a credible candidate for the exercise of pendent appellate jurisdiction. 4 . The Secretary makes a fifth argument: that the relief ordered by the district court requires Puerto Rican officials to act in contravention of local law. The district court refused to address this argument on the ground that the Secretary did not sufficiently specify the nature of the alleged violations. That ruling is supportable, and it precludes reliance on the argument here. See Teamsters Union v. Superline Transp. Co., 953 F.2d 17, 21 (1st Cir.1991) ().

Indeed, that trial evidence as to deceit and fraud was sufficiently extensive to allow Karlov’s counsel to secure admissions from Shapovalov that he had “lied repeatedly, over and over again” and “led a life committing a lot of crimes.” Tr. 1287; see id. at 1475 (arguing in summation that record showed Shapovalov to be “pathological liar”); United States v. White, 972 F.2d at 21 (). In urging otherwise, Karlov submits that ### Response: holding evidence that witness lied on stand cumulative where witness was aggressively crossexamined by the defendants lawyer who relentlessly attacked witnesss credibility called him a liar and emphasized his lack of veracity in the past " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: that the witnesses reported that a revolver was used. Trial counsel questioned Sergeant Nieto on the possibility of the revolver being fake, and Sergeant Nie-to responded that he “would think that someone would know a real gun from a fake gun.” Testimony from a complainant in close proximity to a weapon, describing it as a “gun,” a “revolver,” and a “pistol,” is sufficient to prove the use of a deadly weapon. Wright v. State, 591 S.W.2d 458, 459 (Tex.Crim.App.1979). It is true that courts have held that testimony regarding the use of a “gun” may be insufficient to support a finding of use and exhibition of a deadly weapon when the case presents separate evidence indicating the use of a toy gun. See Pena Cortez v. State, 732 S.W.2d 713, 715 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 1987, no pet.) (). Here, there was testimony that described the ### Response: holding that testimony regarding use of pistol was insufficient where it was uncontroverted that pistol was toy gun " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: hearing. II. In reaching this holding, the Court is aware that several other courts, including district courts in this Circuit, have interpreted § 7 as giving arbitrators powers beyond the reading provided by this Court. But the courts that have given the statute a broader reading are not binding on this Court. See, e.g., Fox v. Acadia St. Bank, 937 F.2d 1566, 1570 (11th Cir.1991) (“A district court is not bound by another district court’s decision, or even an opinion by another judge of the same district court.”). The Court is unpersuaded by the reasoning expanding an arbitrator’s power to permit pre-hearing discovery from non-parties. Simply put, they do not base their analysis on the text of § 7, but rather on its supposed implications. See, e.g., In re Security, 228 F.3d at 870-71 (). It becomes necessary to rely on such ### Response: holding that implicit in the arbitrators power to subpoena relevant documents at hearing is the power to order prehearing discovery " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: more so when, as here, the manufacturer affirmatively and successfully limits the market of its product to professionals. In such a case, the manufacturer should not be burdened with the often difficult task of providing instructions on how to properly perform the basic operation. Antcliff v.

Although not material to the analysis here, it is worth noting that one circuit has held that the government may use grand jury subpoenas to obtain documentary materials, but not work product materials. See Guest v. Leis, 255 F.3d 325, 341 (6th Cir.2001). 11 .The PPA also includes a provision allowing government officials to use search and seizure in cases where there is a valid concern that ""the giving of notice pursuant to a subpoena duces tecum would result in the destruction, alteration, or concealment of such materials.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000aa(b)(3). This exception does not apply to work product materials. 12 . The Supreme Court has endorsed the use of video footage on summary judgment. See Scott v. Harris, 550 U.S. 372, 380, 127 S.Ct. 1769, 167 L.Ed.2d 686 (2007) (). 13 .

See United States v. Burch, 202 F.3d 1274, 1278 (10th Cir.2000). Because, according to the district court, Spencer’s conviction became final on November 9, 2006, he had until November 9, 2007 to file his § 2255 motion. 28 U.S.C. § 2255(f)(1). As Spencer did not file that motion until December 10, 2007, the district court concluded the motion was untimely unless Spencer was entitled to have the limitations period equitably tolled. Gibson v. Klinger, 232 F.3d 799, 808 (10th Cir.2000). Because Spencer had failed to demonstrate he had diligently pursued the claims in his § 2255 motion, the district court exercised its discretion and denied equitable tolling. Marsh v. Soares, 223 F.3d 1217, 1220 (10th Cir.2000) ().

See generally Draegert v. Barnhart, 311 F.3d 468, 474 (2d Cir.2002). This testimony was essentially unchallenged at the hearings, and Lamorey fails to show that anything further would be gained by a remand. Cf. Butts v. Barnhart, 388 F.3d at 386-87 (concluding that remand for step five determination was appropriate where the record was incomplete because the ALJ failed to call a vocational expert); Williams v.

Requirement that Withholding Obligation be Precise and Non-Speculative Since “the employer is in a secondary position as to liability for any tax of the employee, it is a matter of obvious concern that ... the employer’s obligation to withhold be precise and not speculative.” Central Ill. Pub. Serv. Co. v. United States, 435 U.S. 21, 31, 98 S.Ct. 917, 923, 55 L.Ed.2d 82 (1978). A duty to withhold income taxes on payments made to its employees should not be imposed retroactively on an employer unless there was adequate notice (from the relevant statutes, regulations, and IRS pronouncements) to the employer at the time of the payments that such a withholding obligation existed. See Humble Oil & Refining Co. v. United States, 194 Ct.Cl. 920, 442 F.2d 1362, 1369-70 (1971) (). See also Hotel Conquistador, Inc. v.

K.S.A. 21-4302(b); State ex rel. Stephan v. Finney, 254 Kan. 632, 644, 867 P.2d 1034 (1994). It is undisputed that the first two elements are present. The only issue in this case is whether Kandu Challenge is a game of chance. The district court applied a “ 'dominant factor ” test to answer this question. The source of this test in Kansas is Games Management, Inc. v. Owens, 233 Kan. 444, 662 P.2d 260 (1983). In Games, our Supreme Court held that under the facts of the case, certain video poker games were not prohibited gambling devices. 233 Kan. at 448-49. After resolving this main issue, the court also examined the State’s argument thát the winners of the video poker games were determined by chance. 194 Neb. 715, 717, 235 N.W.2d 398 (1975) ().

Officer Ayler did not use any force with Cruz-Salazar and, in fact, unsuccessfully attempted to get him a ride home rather than arrest him. And Officer Ayler had no other means of making contact with Cruz-Salazar to check his welfare, as Cruz-Salazar was nonresponsive to his initial attempts at contact without opening the truck door. [16] We hold that Officer Ayler’s conduct did not violate Cruz-Salazar’s Fourth Amendment right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure. See, e.g., Szabo v. State, 2015 Ark. App. 512, 470 S.W.3d 696 (2015) ().

This court closely scrutinizes the Rule 11 colloquy and has emphasized that an appropriately conducted guilty plea proceeding raises a strong presumption that the plea is final and binding. United States v. Lambey, 974 F.2d 1389, 1394 (4th Cir.1992). Felder’s challenge to the adequacy of the Rule 11 hearing is not supported by the record. Accordingly, we conclude the district court conducted a proper Rule 11 hearing. Felder has also appealed the district court’s denial of his motion to reconsider his sentence. Because Felder has failed to raise any arguments in his brief regarding the denial of his motion to reconsider his sentence, the review of that issue is waived. See Canady v.

Therefore, our determination is limited to whether MCD is bound by the arbitration agreement as a third-party beneficiary or under a theory of estoppel. Third-Party Beneficiary Courts treat arbitration agreements as other contracts in applying the legal rules to interpret them. In re Olshan Foundation Repair, Co. LLC, 328 S.W.3d 883, 889 (Tex.2010). “The goal is to discern the true intentions of the parties, as the FAA’s primary purpose is to ensure private agreements to arbitrate and enforce according to their terms, no more, no less.” Id. A third-party beneficiary to a contract can compel or be compelled to arbitrate under an arbitration provision in a contract. See In re NEXT Fin. Group Inc., 271 S.W.3d 263, 267 (Tex.2008) ().

What is important — indeed, determinative — for our inquiry is which of the two each state has adopted. Pennsylvania's high court unambiguously has held that Pennsylvania law supports no cause of action for increased risk of cancer or for present emotional distress arising from the fear of cancer. Thus, the court's statement about medical monitoring damages is best viewed as the authorization of a distinct cause of action for medical monitoring expenses. Reading the opinion otherwise would defy its plain language regarding Pennsylvania's nonrecognition of increased risk and emotional distress causes of action. 75 . See, e.g., Burns v. Jaquays Mining Corp., 156 Ariz. 375, 752 P.2d 28, 29-31 (Ct.App.1987) (), review dismissed, 162 Ariz. 186, 781 P.2d ### Response: holding that subclinical asbestosrelated injuiy is not sufficient to support cause of action " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: an interest in filing a motion for summary judgment, but apparently chose not to file a motion because it was untimely.

See Open Inns v. Chester County Sheriff s Department, Civ. No. 97-4822 (E.D.Pa. Sept. 22, 1998). 18 . Defendants LaRose, Clemens, and Freas all argue that they are protected by qualified immunity. As noted above, Sheriff Erling has been sued only in his official capacity. Thus, the suit against him is essentially a suit against the county. See Will v.

According to Jones, the photo taken from the motel depicts him as having a ""dark mustache and goatee.” Appellant's Brief at 45. However, the small amount of facial hair Jones had in this picture is not clearly visible, and is at most a few days' growth. The photo taken of Jones upon his arrest does more clearly show that Jones had a short goatee. Also, although we can find no indication of Jones’s actual height in the record, Jones insinuates that he is taller than Khan and Patel's description of approximately six feet. Nevertheless, such small discrepancies do not persuade us that Khan and Patel did not have an independent basis for their in-court identification of Jones. See Wethington v.

Brooks v. Gunn, 667 S.W.2d 499, 501 (Tenn.Ct.App.1984). The court explained that because the minor was still under the disability of minority under Tennessee Code An notated section 28-1-106, “the statute of limitations in a situation [such] as this has not begun to run against the minor.

Second, the government contends that Windland waived de novo review of the legal issue in this appeal by failing to object to the Magistrate Judge’s report and recommendation on the specific basis of the 160/161 day distinction. Again, although Windland could have been more specific, he did object to the Magistrate’s conclusion that his § 2254 petition was time-barred; as part of that objection, he also argued that the limitations period should have been tolled while his state action was pending. This objection alerted the district court to the pertinent issue in this appeal, namely that the Magistrate improperly found Windland’s § 2254 petition time-barred due to an erroneous tolling calculation. See United States v. Burton, 126 F.3d 666, 673 (5th Cir.1997) ().

Young’s conviction for second-degree murder with a firearm did not qualify for habitual offender treatment under the version of the statute applicable to him at that time. A habitual offender sentence is illegal for purposes of a motion to correct an illegal sentence if the terms or conditions of the punishment for a particular offense are impermissible as a matter of law.

The dangers of proscribing conduct too broadly for purposes of resisting arrest have been recognized by the drafters of Model Penal Code. The draft Code suggests that the crime of resisting arrest should only apply to conduct where the individual being arrested “creates a substantial risk of bodily injury to the public servant or anyone else, or employs means justifying or requiring substantial force to overcome the resistance.” Model Penal Code § 242.2.

Plaintiff recognizes that the district court relied on Pennsylvania bankruptcy cases contrary to her position, but argues that the courts that decided those cases “failed to consider that they were expanding the scope of spendthrift protection beyond that provided for by state law.” Brief of Appellant at 22. The district court explained that the apparent split of authority does not support the bankruptcy court’s conclusion that the principal here is unprotected because Pennsylvania law alone controls this case. As the district court recognized, Pennsylvania law protects remainder interests in the corpus of a trust if the spendthrift provision of the trust instrument so provides.

In drawing the distinction, the court noted that the proper inquiry “whether a judgment is ‘a fíne or other penalty’ depends on whether its purpose is remedial in nature, affording a private remedy to an injured person, or penal in nature, punishing an offense against the public justice.” Id. at 323 (citing Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A v. Hoffman, 665 F.Supp. 73, 75-76 (D.Mass.1987)); see also Spann v. Compania Mexicana Radiodifusora Fronteriza, S. A., 131 F.2d 609, 611 (5th Cir.1942) ().

In Mack, 292 N.W.2d at 768-69, 772, we added an additional consideration to the Frye analysis in deciding that testimony developed through the aid of hypnosis was inadmissible. Although citing the Frye general acceptance standard, our primary concern in Mack was with the unreliability of memories produced while under hypnosis. See Mack, 292 N.W.2d at 768-69. As a result, the test for admissibility of novel scientific evidence in Minnesota developed into the two-prong Frye-Mack standard. First, a novel scientific technique must be generally accepted in the relevant scientific community, and second, the particular evidence derived from that test must have a foundation that is scientifically reliable.

Applying the same legal analysis as it would had the officer entered any other part of the defendant’s home without a warrant, the court held that there were no exigent circumstances to justify the warrantless entry of the garage because the air-conditioning units could not have been disposed of easily and other officers were maintaining surveillance on the premises.

Further, if the trial court had decided that “$0” was a reasonable and necessary fee for the trial work regardless of the segregation issue, it would not have stated in conclusion of law 7 that the only reason for an appeal as to attorney’s fees is the segregation issue.

Specifically, Garibay contends that he did not understand Agent Burke’s recitation of his rights in English because his primary language is Spanish and he has a low verbal IQ.

See Connelly, 479 U.S. at 168, 107 S.Ct. at 522. In determining whether a defendant knowingly and intelligently waived his Miranda rights, we consider, as one factor, any language difficulties encountered by the defendant during custodial interrogation.

At the hearing, the Debtor testified that his income is consistent with the disclosures in Amended Schedule I. However, I find that the Debtor understated his expenses in Amended Schedule J and that his monthly living expenses for himself and his dependent family members exceed the disclosed household monthly income of $2,245.00. 14 .

Plaintiff bases his implied contract claim solely on evidence that the drug policy was posted, that he probably read it, that IBP restricted itself by the policy, and that IBP led employees to believe that it does not fire them except for cause. IBP argues that plaintiff has presented insufficient evidence of contractual negotiations or other circumstances which would tend to make clear the intent of the parties to change the at-will nature of the employment relationship. According to IBP, the fact that IBP unilaterally adopted a drug/alcohol policy and has a general practice of adhering to it does not transform the policy into a binding contract of employment. E.g., Berry v. General Motors Corp., 838 F.Supp. 1479, 1492 (D.Kan.1993) (), aff'd, 56 F.3d 1233 (10th Cir.1995).

Indeed, defense counsel would be remiss not to demand that the plaintiff waive statutory attorney’s fees. A lawyer who proposes to have his client pay more than is necessary to end litigation has failed to fulfill his fundamental duty zealously to represent the best interests of his client. Because waiver of fees does not affect the plaintiff, a settlement offer is not made less attractive to the plaintiff if it includes a demand that statutory fees be waived. Thus, in the future, we must expect settlement offers routinely to contain demands for waivers of statutory fees. The cumulative effect this practice will have on the civil rights bar is evident.

This is the exclusive remedy after pursuing the administrative path for setting aside a forfeiture decision by the Office of the Solicitor. Id. In this case, the district court properly held that plaintiffs’ CAFRA claim is barred from judicial review. Plaintiffs received proper notice of the proposed forfeitures. Plaintiffs chose to pursue an administrative path and filed petitions for remission and petitions for supplemental remission. These petitions were reviewed by the Office of the Solicitor and denied. Because plaintiffs chose to pursue administrative remedies, they waived the opportunity for judicial forfeiture proceedings. See 50 C.F.R. § 12.24(a) (expressly providing that remedies are exclusive); Malladi Drugs, 552 F.3d at 889 (); Cole v.

The MCCA does not set out a definition of income as that term is used in subsection (e)(2)(c). Further, unlike the district court, we do not read subsections (b), (d)(e) and'(f) as imparting a plain meaning that prohibits the transfer of income pre-eligibility, such that transferred income cannot be included in the community spouse’s income as that term is used in subsection (e)(2)(C). Instead, we believe that subsection (e)(2)(C)’s reference to “income” is ambiguous at best. Indeed, the differing views of the various courts and agencies that have interpreted subsection (e)(2)(C) provide a strong indication that the subsection is ambiguous.

However, the High Debi Hills tract is a full mile away from the nearest existing water and sewer point of connection. The method of access over the 500 foot distance separating the tract from Campgaw Road is uncertain. And, most importantly, Court ordered Mount Laurel II development should be located in growth areas, not conservation districts. See Orgo Farms and Greenhouses v.

Barnard’s psychological problems were not diagnosed until five years after the date last insured. Barnard also argues that the ALJ erred in rejecting a treating physician’s conclusions drawn nine months after the date last insured. We disagree. An ALJ should ordinarily give great weight to a treating physician’s findings in disability cases. See Batson, 359 F.3d at 1195 (citing Tonapetyan v. Halter, 242 F.3d 1144, 1149 (9th Cir.2001)). When these findings conflict with the opinion of other doctors, however, the ALJ may reject the testimony so long as he provides “specific and legitimate reasons that are supported by substantial evidence.” See Bayliss v. Barnhart, 427 F.3d 1211, 1216 (9th Cir. 2005) ; see also Andrews v. Shalala, 53 F.3d 1035, 1041 (9th Cir.1995) ().

Section 1227(c) also has a hen-stripping effect, vesting property in the debtor “free and clear of any claim or interest of any creditor provided for by the plan” unless the plan or the order confirming the plan specifies otherwise. 11 U.S.C. § 1227(c) (1994). The FSA was undoubtedly “provided for by the plan,” and a hen is a “claim or interest.” See Johnson, 501 U.S. at 84, 111 S.Ct. at 2154 (); 11 U.S.C. § 101(37) (1994) (defining “lien” ### Response: holding that an in rem hen is a claim " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: Requiring Indemnification Before Access to Public Streets and Sidewalks Is Unconstitutional On appeal Plain Dealer also challenges the constitutionality of Section 901.-181(c)(5) of the Lakewood Codified Ordinance requiring that “permittees” indemnify and insure the City as a condition to gaining access to its public streets and sidewalks. We believe this provision also violates the First Amendment. The district court held that since the City is liable under Ohio Revised Code Section 723.01 for the failure to maintain the streets, sidewalks, and publicways, it should not be exposed to additional liability without indemnification by any private commercial use on such City owned property. The district court cites Haverlack v. Portage Homes, Inc., 2 Ohio St.3d 26, 442 N.E.2d 749 (1982) (); Dickerhoof v.

Noting that the basis for the motion was, in part, the failure of the Commonwealth to adequately prepare its case, the Court stated that, where such lack of preparation was coupled with factors beyond the Commonwealth’s control, it “does not demonstrate bad faith on the Commonwealth’s part. Nor does the decision of the Commonwealth to seek a nolle prosequi rise to the level of oppressive tactics amounting to prosecutorial misconduct in this instance.” (emphasis added).

He asserts that he “unquestionably satisfies two of the three criteria for the 40-percent rating.” Id. at 3. In light of the conjunctive “and” in the criteria for a 40% disability rating under DC 7913, all criteria must be met to establish entitlement to a 40% rating. See, e.g., Watson v.

Analysis K.S.'s argument is that the juvenile court never. properly obtained jurisdiction during the entirety of these proceedings because it failed to strictly follow the statutory prerequisites for obtaining jurisdiction at the time of the original delinquency filing in May 2002. . Indiana courts have held for many years that strict compliance with the statutory prerequisites for obtaining jurisdiction at the commencement of delinquency proceedings is required of juvenile courts. See, eg., Shupe v. Bell, 127 Ind.App. 292, 300-01, 141 N.RE.2d 351, 355 (1957) () (emphasis added).

See 11 U.S.C. § 1325(a) (the protection of automatic stay is not listed as a requirement for confirmation of a Chapter 13 plan). The plain language of § 1325(a) mandates confirmation if Debtors meet the nine requirements set forth therein. Congress did not mandate the dismissal of a case or the denial of confirmation if the automatic stay terminated prior to confirmation pursuant to § 362(c)(3) or (4) and therefore the Court finds that the termination of the automatic stay does not necessarily deprive a debtor of the right to continue under Chapter 13, obtain confirmation of a plan, and ultimately obtain a discharge if the debtor complies with the terms of the plan. See United States v. Ron Pair Enterprises, Inc., 489 U.S. 235, 241, 109 S.Ct. 1026, 103 L.Ed.2d 290 (1989) ().

The question that now arises is what effect the State’s failure to comply with section 810.5(4) has on the nontestimonial identification order. We think the omission of any facts from which the court could assess the informant’s credibility and the reliability of the informant’s information precluded issuance of the order for statutory and constitutional reasons. The statutory requirement that the affidavit “shall set forth particular facts bearing on the informant’s reliability” and “the means by which the information was obtained” is mandatory.

Because Stephan was acting to enforce a criminal law under a federal grant of criminal jurisdiction, we believe that Stephan possessed jurisdiction to execute the warrants at Kaul’s store. A further distinction with Oklahoma Tax Commission and Colville is that those cases involved a state’s attempt to tax an Indian tribe, while in the present case the state asserted authority to tax an individual who is not a member of the tribe where her store is located. The Supreme Court has recognized a distinction between Indians and nonmember Indians in several contexts, and has for most practical purposes treated nonmember Indians in the same manner as non-Indians. See, for example, Colville, 447 U.S. at 161, 100 S.Ct. at 2085 (); Duro v.

Furthermore, although Jin’s brief identifies the requirements for raising an ineffective assistance of counsel claim, as described in In re Lozada, 19 I. & N. Dec. 637 (BIA 1988), there is no assertion or evidence suggesting that Jin complied with these requirements. Jin has also failed to show any error in the agency’s determination that she did not prove past persecution or a probability of future harm as required for withholding of removal or CAT relief. The record establishes that Jin assisted a North Korean refugee, was detained for 15 days, and fined 4,000 RMB. At no time was Jin physically harmed or threatened by authorities. These allegations are insufficient to establish past persecution. See Jian Qiu Liu v. Holder, 632 F.3d 820, 822 (2d Cir.2011) (per curiam) (); Ivanishvili v.

Although we have not addressed a court’s sanction award for the costs of delay, the Supreme Court and the Seventh Circuit have in awarding fees under Rule 11 and other statutory provisions for fees.

Contrary to the Borough’s position, however, the principle of Lukumi and Fraternal Order of Police-that government cannot discriminate between religiously motivated conduct and comparable secularly motivated conduct in a manner that devalues religious reasons for acting-applies not only when a coercive law or regulation prohibits religious conduct, but also when government denies religious adherents access to publicly available money or property.

Thus, by “matching” the time at which India Music could deduct its accounts payable owed to HRI with the time at which HRI could include those payments as income, the Commissioner’s § 267(a)(2) disallowance effectively changed India Music’s accounting method for its account payable deduction in the 2004 taxable year from an accrual basis to a cash basis. That is, the Commissioner effected a change in India Music’s treatment of a material item in 2004 by postponing the proper time for taking its account payable deduction.

In sum, the record reflects that the July 2005 VA medical examiner based his opinion on Mr. Johnson’s history and his medical records, and the examiner explained the basis for his opinion.

Pursuant to 19-A M.R.S. § 103 (2015), the District Court has “original” jurisdiction over cases involving parental rights, but the Probate Court has exclusive jurisdiction to appoint guardians for minors pursuant to 18-A M.R.S. § 5-102(a) (2015). More and more frequently, family litigation causes these two court systems to exercise concurrent jurisdiction, and the “marriage” caused by this concurrent jurisdiction is very rocky. Although 19-A M.R.S. § 1654 (2015) confers on the Probate Court concurrent jurisdiction to award parental rights and responsibilities “[i]f the father and mother of a minor child are living apart,” see Marin v.

Id. at 939. “A trial court’s choice between ‘two permissible views of the evidence’ is the very essence of the clear error standard of review.” Id. at 945. The district court does not need to make specific subsidiary factual findings, and, as long as the record supports the decision and the district court resolves any disputed factual issues, a final determination is sufficient. Id. at 939-40. The burden is on the defendant to offer evidence at sentencing on an issue that would reduce his offense level, and if he fails to do so, and other evidence does not demonstrate entitlement, we will affirm the district court finding. See United States v. Wilson, 884 F.2d 1355, 1356-57 (11th Cir.1989) ().

INS argues that under the revised naturalization scheme, section 1429 operates to divest district courts of the jurisdiction section 1421(c) provides to review administrative denials of naturalization applications: This is somewhat of a novel issue, and the few courts that have addressed the question have disagreed.

The panel noted the “undisputed” fact that in North Carolina “racial identification correlates highly with political affiliation.” The desire to create districts more competitive for the majority party had to occur within the requirements of the state constitution’s Whole County Provision. Thus, while the three-judge panel noted the General Assembly’s desire “to equalize population among the districts,” for state redistricting purposes, this finding must be viewed in the context of the Whole County Provision, which recognizes political subdivisions.

And, no statute requires D-Mil to be specifically designated as or become a ""pipeline company."" We disagree. 17 D-Mil correctly notes that a pipeline company is not expressly required to be named as such. See eg. Mo.-Kan.-Tex.R. Co. v. State, 1985 OK 108, 11 85, 712 P.2d 40, 46; French v.

Therefore, it is beyond dispute that the district court’s jurisdiction includes appellate jurisdiction and general supervisory control over the county commissioners court, and that jurisdiction can only be invoked under the circumstances just described. The issue squarely before us is how that jurisdiction is invoked. Invoking the Distr ex.App.-E1 Paso 1993, no writ) (noting that a formal action or suit must be filed in order for district court to exercise its superviso ry control over the commissioners court); Atlantic Richfield Co. v.

However, Tenn. R.App. P. 13(b) recognizes that exceptions can be made in appropriate circumstances. A challenge to the validity of a contract based on public policy grounds is one such exception. One authoritative text has recognized that the issue of whether a contract is contrary to public policy is an issue that trial and appellate courts may raise sua sponte. 15 Grace McLane Giesel, Corbin on Contracts § 79.6, at 27, 32 (rev. ed. 2003) (“Corbin on Contracts ”); see also Restatement (Second) of Contracts, ch. 8, topic 1, at 5 (1981).

The plaintiff argues that, even if the three year statute of limitations found in Kentucky’s blue sky statute is applicable to the present action, the June 21, 2001, amendments to the blue sky law extend the statute of limitations so that this action was not untimely filed. In the June 21, 2001, amendments, the legislature changed the timing of when an action under the blue sky statute accrues from the date of the contract of sale to a discovery rule.

Here, two issues affect which version of the statute is applied. First, we determine whether the district court correctly used the version of the statute in effect on the commencement date of White’s action rather than the version in effect on her injury date.

Id. Robinson claimed in his § 2255 petition that he received ineffective assistance of counsel because his attorney did not object to what he alleges was double counting in his sentence calculation that was contrary to U.S.S.G. § 4A1.2(a)(l). The district court ruled that the difference in the sentence Robinson would have received in category II was not significant enough to establish ineffective assistance of counsel. On appeal we determined that the maximum difference of 32 months between category II and category III failed to meet the constitutional standard of prejudice. Both we and the district court were in error. See Glover, 121 S .Ct. at 701 ().

The Sentencing Reform Act of 1984 provides that a district court may depart from the sentencing range set by the Sentencing Guidelines only when it finds that “there exists an aggravating or mitigating circumstance of a kind, or to a degree, not adequately taken into consideration by the Sentencing Commission in formulating the guidelines.” 18 U.S.C. § 3558(b). Here, the district court departed upward because criminal history category VI, which requires only 13 criminal history points, did not adequately reflect Defendant’s 25 criminal history points.

Here, Moore’s own testimony indicated that he had been employed within the last two years. Further, during his testimony, Moore invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to answer additional questions. From Moore’s refusal to testify, the court could properly have drawn an adverse inference regarding his financial ability to comply with the support order. See Gash v.

McDaniel, 80 F.3d 1261, 1269 (9th Cir.1996) (§ 34.800); Vang v. Nevada, 329 F.3d 1069, 1075 (9th Cir.2003) (§ 34.810), and Davis has not demonstrated that we should reach a different result here. Davis cannot invoke ineffective assistance of counsel as a defense to procedural default, because he failed to raise this defense in state court. Murray v. Carrier, 477 U.S. 478, 488-89 (1986). Thus, Davis was not entitled to challenge the procedural default in an evidentiar stitutional jurisprudence. See Harmelin v. Michigan, 501 U.S. 957, 994-96, 111 S.Ct. 2680, 115 L.Ed.2d 836 (1991) ().

Snipes argues that the time limitation of the rule did not commence until this court’s affirmance of his sentence on remand became final on January 16, 2001. The unequivocal language of rule 3.850(b) supports Snipes’ contention: A motion to vacate a sentence that exceeds the limits provided by law may be filed at any time.

Second, the fact that, once employed by Rite-Aid, Jewell failed to leverage up into a full-time job was not unreasonable, either. It is not surprising that her interim employment — the only job she found— made it difficult to find a different full-time job. Though her burden to find meaningful employment did not suddenly evaporate when she took on part-time work, all that is required is a reasonable effort to search. Jewell satisfied that standard here. See Lundy Packing Co. v. NLRB, 856 F.2d 627, 629-30 (4th Cir.1988). Third, although Jewell “willfully” left her job at Rite-Aid, an unlawfully laid-off employee is not required to accept or remain in less desirable working conditions.

By our count, Ms. Hernandez presented evidence of at least a dozen racially offensive comments and jokes over the fourteen months Mr. Lillis supervised her in food services. But “the word ‘pervasive’ is not a counting measure” and the “trier of fact utilizes a broader contextual analysis.” Herrera, 474 F.3d at 680 n. 3. Considering the frequency, content, and context of the derogatory statements, we conclude that Ms. Hernandez established a genuinely disputed issue of fact as to the pervasiveness of the harassment in her work environment.

We agree with the trial court that chapter 95 controls this case, is Francis’s exclusive remedy against Coastal, and precludes common-law negligence liability in Coastal.

The latter claim is the based upon the Rolands’ belief that General Motors should have warned that the lap belt was only properly used with a conventional child car seat.

In fact, the BIA directly addressed Petitioners’ fears for Tashfia’s safety and found that the IJ had “properly considered the relevant factors in the aggregate,” including consideration of Petitioners’ “testimony that they believed their daughter might be kidnapped in Bangladesh, as one of the potential hardship factors.” We have repeatedly held that “[cjloaking [a factual claim] in the garb of legal error does not alter its nature.” Id. at 73 (); see also Rashad v.

Robert argued that he was entitled to a disproportionate share of the parties’ estate because of the fraud committed by Elaine and her fault in the termination of their marriage. The record demonstrates, however, that the trial court’s disposition of the parties’ estate was not nearly as unequal as Elaine suggests. Each party was awarded the car that was in his or her possession. Elaine was able to keep all of the items that she removed from the house, including the disputed antique china cabinet, and she was able to keep half of the money that was in their joint account at the time that they separated. She was required to return to Robert the flat screen television that he won thro 93 (1888) (). 2 .

In Jacobellis v. Ohio, 378 U.S. 184, 197, 84 S.Ct. 1676, 12 L.Ed.2d 793 (1964), Justice Stewart wrote in a concurring opinion: I shall not today attempt further to define the kinds of material I understand to be embraced within that shorthand description [hard core pornography]; and perhaps I could never succeed in intelligibly doing so.

Ms. Maretta cites a number of federal decisions that she claims stand for the proposition that FEGLIA preempts state laws providing for constructive trusts and other equitable remedies. In each of these federal cases, however, the plaintiffs asserted their entitlement to the decedent’s FEGLI proceeds through a divorce decree or separation agreement that required the insured to maintain his or her FEGLI policy for their benefit. These courts, employing the Ridgway rationale, held that the divorce decrees at issue directly conflicted with the FEGLIA provision granting an insured the absolute right to designate any beneficiaiy that he or she chooses.

Although Khadher was not harmed until September 1, 2007, when the interest rate first changed, his cause of action accrued at closing on July 23, 2004. Consequently, the action expired on July 23, 2010. Khadher also asserts that Trott’s attorneys’ defrauded him by double charging him for attorney’s fees. The May 23, 2011 letter, however, identifies one charge for legal fees and the other for legal costs. Under the terms of the Mortgage, PNC can collect reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred in pursuing remedies caused by the borrower’s default. See United Growth Corp. v. Kelly Mortgage & Inv.

We held that the claimant’s quitting his job due to lack of transportation did not justify reinstatement of his benefits because his loss of earning power was unrelated to his disability. In Beattie, the claimant sustained a disabling work-related injury. Subsequently, his benefits were suspended when the claimant returned to work as a church minister for another employer without a wage loss. However, the claimant became uncomfortable with the position and, eventually, quit because of stress and interpersonal problems. Under these circumstances, the court concluded that he was not entitled to reinstatement of total disability benefits. 12 .

Moreover, even if the affidavits could be credited, they are insufficient to establish changed country conditions in China. The affidavits’ largely anecdotal descriptions of religious persecution do not demonstrate that conditions had worsened in China for Christians since the time of Zhang’s merits hearing in 2001.

As did the Folder court, we too have reviewed the text of Rule 2—313 (f) and the pertinent meeting minutes of the Rules Committee.

Further, the decision must “actually and formally dispose of the claim or defense,” Shelton v. Kirson, 119 Md.App. 325, 330, 705 A.2d 25, 27 (1998).

Mr. Menefee, Morganti’s contract administrator, testified that Morganti never allowed its difficulties with getting money for CPC’s and modifications to affect critical path work, and that Morganti always provided funding necessary to pay the subcontractors. In fact, Morganti conceded on summary judgment that the FBOP’s payment errors never delayed Morganti. Thus, money was not the source of its inability to complete the contract work on time. D.W.

We agree with the reasoning in these cases. We thus hold that wills should be construed by the law as it existed when the testator died, thereby excluding adopted children as beneficiaries unless the will indicates an intent to include adopted children. In the instant case, the probate court determined that Jenkins did not intend to include his daughters’ adopted children as beneficiaries of his testamentary trust. In making its determination, the probate court considered the law as it existed in 1944, when Jenkins executed his will. At that time, Colorado law presumed that adopted children were not included as beneficiaries unless the testator expressly included the term “adopted children” in the will. See Brunton v.

Defendants’ final argument that the Government was not misled by the non-inclusion of I & M does not impact whether the statement was, nevertheless, false. Rather, if true, this factor would go towards the materiality of the statement or damages. Thus, this argument will be discussed later in section II.D.3 of this Order. 20 .

App.4th 414, 125 Cal.Rptr.3d 616, 618 (Cal.App.2011), Division 3 of California’s Fourth District Court of Appeal, agreed with Mendez and disagreed with Ramirez, stating that it “perceive[d] no sound basis to distinguish Graham’s reasoning where a term of years beyond the juvenile’s life expectancy is tantamount to an LWOP term.” The California Supreme Court recently granted review of these decisions. See People v. Caballero, 123 Cal.Rptr.3d 575, 250 P.3d 179 (2011), People v. Ramirez, 128 Cal.Rptr.3d 271, 255 P.3d 948 (2011), and People v. Nunez, 128 Cal. Rptr.3d 274, 255 P.3d 951 (2011). Unlike California, Georgia courts are, so far, consistent in their view that Graham is not implicated in a term-of-years sentence. See Adams v. State, 288 Ga. 695, 707 S.E.2d 359 (2011) (); Middleton v. State, 313 Ga.App. 193, 721 ### Response: holding that sentence of mandatory twentyfive years followed by life on probation for aggravated molestation of a fouryearold child does not implicate categorical eighth amendment restriction under graham nor is it grossly disproportionate for particular crime " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: of 210 months’ imprisonment. Under the post -Booker advisory guideline regime, the district court must still consider the applicable guideline range of 188— 235 months, but it may vary from the range if it concludes reasonably that factors set forth in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) warrant a different sentence. Even under the mandatory guidelines, however, the district court was able to consider the § 3553(a) factors in determining where within the mandatory range Brooks should be sentenced. That the court elected a sentence of 210 months from within the range of 188 to 235 months gives us confidence that the added flexibility of the post-Booker regime would not have led the district court to impose a more favorable sentence. See United States v. Perez-Ramirez, 415 F.3d 876, 878 (8th Cir.2005) ().

Because I believe the issue of compensability was finally decided by the full commission and the circuit court, sitting in an appellate capacity, could not thwart further appellate review by ordering a remand, I would find the order appealable under section 1-23-390. See Mungo, 383 S.C. at 278, 678 S.E.2d at 829 (“Although the circuit court remanded the issue of the precise damages to be awarded to Claimant, the single commissioner would have no choice but to award some damages to Claimant.

H. Economic Loss Doctrine Defendant argues that an essential element of each of Plaintiffs tort-based causes of action is an injury or damage proximately caused by Defendant’s tortious conduct. Defendant asserts that for each tort-based cause of action, the economic loss rule bars recovery because Plaintiff has not put forth evidence showing tangible, physical injury to the Wellfield. Under Ohio law, the economic loss rule “prevents recovery in tort of damages for purely economic losses. The well-established general rule is that a plaintiff who has suffered only economic loss due to another’s negligence has not been injured in a manner which is legally cognizable or compensable.” Ashtabula River Corp. Grp. II v. Conrail, Inc., 549 F.Supp.2d 981, 987 (N.D.Ohio 2008) (). In other words, “indirect economic damages ### Response: holding plaintiffs public nuisance claim was barred by the economic loss rule because it wasnt actually a landowner of the site and thus there was no allegation of harm to any property " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: However, the cases plaintiffs point us to do not support their argument on appeal. First, in most of these cases, the Circuit Courts were focused on the effect of Lingle on their Takings Clause precedent, not their substantive due process case law. See, e.g., Rose Acre Farms, Inc. v. United States, 559 F.3d 1260, 1277-82 (Fed. Cir.2009) (discussing how the Agins inquiry is now obsolete after Lingle and examining Lingle’s effect on regulatory takings cases). Second, the Circuit Courts that did find Lingle affected their substantive due process jurisprudence had earlier precedent holding that all property rights-based substantive due process claims were preempted or supplanted by the Takings Clause. See, e.g., Crown Point Dev., Inc. v. City of Sun Valley, 506 F.3d 851, 852 (9th Cir.2007) (); see also A Helping Hand, LLC v. Balt. Cnty., ### Response: holding that prior circuit precedent that the fifth amendments takings clause subsumes or preempts substantive due process claims was undermined by lingle " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: incriminating.

Id. at 36,120 S.Ct. 2037 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). There, the Supreme Court held that the physical production was a violation of the Fifth Amendment because the preparation of the produced documents was the only means through which the government obtained the evidence which led to the indictment. Id. at 42-43,120 S.Ct. 2037. This case, however, is more akin to the physical trait cases. Tattoos which are openly visible on the body are physical traits, as are voice, appearance, and handwriting.

Accordingly, we remand this action to the trial court directing that the order of support be vacated and the complaint for support be dismissed on the basis of lack of standing. We further direct that Mother be reimbursed any monies paid as a result of the existing support order. ¶ 12 We further note that even though Mother has the parental duty of supporting her child “until [her] child reaches 18 or graduates from high school, whichever event occurs later,” Blue v. Blue, 532 Pa. 521, 529, 616 A.2d 628, 633 (1992), she does not have to be subjected to her child dictating how or to whom the support should be allocated. See Oeler by Gross v.

They then brought suit for breach of contract against PSL and foreclosure against Enterprise Bank. The master did not rule on the claims against PSL but entered money judgments against Enterprise Bank. We hold the master had no authority to enter money judgments in the respondents’ foreclosure actions against Enterprise Bank. The procedures for enforcing a mechanic’s lien are provided by statute, see S.C.Code Ann. §§ 29-5-10 to -440 (2007 & Supp.2013), and “must be strictly followed.” Cohen’s Drywall Co. v. Sea Spray Homes, LLC, 374 S.C. 195, 199, 648 S.E.2d 598, 600 (2007). A court cannot depart from the plain language of the statute when enforcing a mechanic’s lien. See Zepsa Constr., Inc v.

The issue of retroactivity turns on whether the rule is considered procedural or substantive. While substantive rules are automatically applied retroactively, holdings dictating methods of criminal procedure, such as the Apprendi holding, are presumptively non-retroactive. See Rosario v.

The Court finds that Defendant’s request shall be denied for the reasons described herein.

A finding of inadequate representation is required based upon the above discussion of the limited causes of action and types of relief available to and pursued by the Justice Department in United States v. Connecticut. Since the Justice Department did not seek all of the types of relief which plaintiffs seek in this case, it follows directly that the Justice Department’s representation was inadequate from a res judicata perspective, and that the plaintiffs are therefore not in privity with the United States.

See Li v. Ashcroft, 378 F.3d 959, 964 (9th Cir.2004) (reviewing an adverse credibility determination for substantial evidence). There was an inconsistency in Aung’s testimony regarding the date he joined the National League for Democracy (“NLD”) and there was an inconsistency as to whether Aung participated in NLD political activities during his foreign business travels. Because Aung claimed persecution based on his political beliefs, these inconsistencies go to the heart of his claim. See id. ().

Had the Legislature deemed it necessary to insert into the statute a requirement that an employer present expert medical testimony that at the precise time an offer of light-duty work is tendered by the employer the employee was physically capable of performing that assignment, the Legislature could have done so.

But to toll the one-year habeas statute, a post-conviction motion must be “properly filed,” see 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2), and the respondent contends that the petitioner’s application for leave to appeal the trial court’s denial of the post-conviction motion was not properly filed because it was not submitted within 21 days. However, the petitioner filed a delayed application within the time allowed by the state court rules. See Mich. Ct. R. 7.205(F). In Matthews v.

Because only one state requires this, according to the State, only one manufacturer makes the instrument that captures and preserves a breath sample, and only one company makes the silica gel tubes used for capturing samples. The State also asserts that the second breath sample requirement has prevented New Hampshire “from staying current with emerging technology,” such as models that test each of a subject’s breath samples with two different technologies. For all of these reasons, the State contends that requiring the capture and preservation of a suspect’s breath sample for independent testing is no longer required by due process. See Moss v. Superior Court, 857 P.2d 400, 404-05 (Ariz. Ct. App. 1993) (), review denied, 868 P.2d 318 (Ariz. 1994).

Given the district court’s recognition of Barrientos-Maldonado’s “very serious” criminal history, his sentence of fifty-seven months, which is at the low end of the advisory Sentencing Guidelines, is not unreasonable. Barrientos-Maldonado also challenges his sentence on Sixth Amendment grounds, arguing that any fact beyond the mere fact of conviction that justifies increased punishment under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) must be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. This claim is precluded by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 226-27, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998), and United States v. Pacheco-Zepeda, 234 F.3d 411, 414 (9th Cir.2000).

Jackson, 125 S.Ct. at 1507. The Court explained that ""[t]he statute is broadly worded; it does not require that the victim of the retaliation must also be the victim of the discrimination that is the subject of the original complaint.” Id.

We agree. We first note that while the 1996 detention and the 2001 telephone threats were on account of Varon’s political opinion, it is less clear whether the 1999 Molotov cock tail incident and the 2002 detention in the forest likewise were motivated by Varon’s actual or imputed political opinion. With respect to the bombing, Varón merely speculates that the bomb was thrown at him by a member of the FER and concedes that he was unable to identify who threw the bomb. Accordingly, the record does not compel the conclusion that the bombing was connected to his political activity. See Silva v. United States Att’y Gen., 448 F.3d 1229, 1238 (11th Cir.2006) ().

This potential psychological damage was the only alleged incidence of abuse, abandonment or neglect presented at the hearing. After considering the evidence and argument of counsel, the trial court found no legal basis to conclude that depriving M.N.B. of contact with Appellant, someone to whom the child has no legal connection, constitutes the level of abuse needed to support a finding of a dependency. We agree with the trial court that a parent’s decision to deprive a child of contact with someone who has no legal custody or visitation rights vis-á-vis the child is an inadequate ground upon which to base an adjudication of dependency.

Therefore, plaintiff has failed to establish that Jeanne Decker was a representative of the estate of her late husband John Nelson Decker or that he had an estate. 2. “Successors” Under Rule 25(a), a “successor” of the deceased party is also a proper party for substitution. A successor of the deceased party is a “distributee” of the decedent’s estate if the decedent’s estate has been distributed at the time the motion for substitution has been made. Gronowicz v. Leonard, 109 F.R.D. 624, 626 (S.D.N.Y.1986) (citations omitted); see e.g., Hardy v. Kaszycki & Sons Contractors, Inc., 842 F.Supp. 713, 716-717 (S.D.N.Y.1993) (). a.

The court need not decide the issue based on the denial alone, however, because ATM challenges not only the Council’s denial of its license, but also the pre-denial operation of the ordinance itself. ATM has presented sufficient evidence for the court to conclude (at least for a determination of standing) that operation of the ordinance impermissibly and indefinitely delayed ATM’s ability to engage in activity presumptively protected by the First Amendment. See Roaden v. Kentucky, 413 U.S. at 504, 98 S.Ct. 2796; Gayesty Theatres, Inc., 719 F.2d at 1552 (); City of Daleville, Ala., 695 F.Supp. at 1171. ### Response: holding in a case addressing the revocation of an adult theaters business license that while the citycould prevent the viewing of an obscene videotape it cannot constitutionally pierce the first amendment shield and bar presumptively protected expression based only on prior unprotected conduct " "### Instruction: Use the Input below to create an instruction, which could have been used to generate the input using an LLM. ### Input: trial court allowed Tucker to read the victim’s statement into the record and certified Tucker as “an expert in Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner.” {54} We hold that the victim’s statement to the SANE practitioner is testimonial because it falls into the third category of evidence labeled testimonial by Crawford, “statements that were made under circumstances which would lead an objective witness reasonably to believe that the statement would be available for use at a later trial.” 541 U.S. at 52,124 S.Ct. 1354 (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). {55} We first note that the fact that the SANE practitioner is not a government official does not preclude statements given to her from being testimonial.

The definitions in Rickert, Neitzke, and Hodges closely track the plain and ordinary meaning of the term “frivolous.” See Webster’s Third New International Dictionary 913 (2002) (defining “frivolous” as “of little weight or importance: having no basis in law or fact ”) (emphasis added). Indeed, those definitions are also consistent with the way we have defined the term “frivolous” in other contexts. See, e.g., Bond v. Comm’r of Revenue, 691 N.W.2d 831, 839 (Minn.2005) ().

If an asset sold to a third-party purchaser is subject to dilution in a later judicial proceeding, there would be a substantial chilling effect upon the receiver’s ability to perform its statutory functions. In Pyramid, the court rejected the argument that § 1821(j) did not apply because a plaintiff sought relief against the receiver’s successor. The plaintiffs argument in Pyramid sounded much like Dittmer’s here — because the receiver had alread 4, 1993 WL 149084, at *2 (N.D.Cal. April 30, 1993) (unpublished) ().

This gap in the evidence was critical because the jury heard plaintiffs’ counsel assert that Nevada residents purchased Ford truck models affected by the rollaway problem in disproportionate numbers. Thus, jury members may have assumed that at least some of the 54 nonparty victims lived in Nevada. To remedy the due process violation, we may either remand for a new trial on punitive damages or “change ... the level of the punitive damages award.” Williams, 127 S.Ct. at 1065. We conclude that a new trial on punitive damages is the proper remedy. See Werbungs Und Commerz Union Austalt v. Collectors’ Guild, Ltd., 930 F.2d 1021, 1027 (2d Cir.1991) ().

The burden would then shift to Goodman to demonstrate a “neutral explanation” for employing two of his three allocated peremptory challenges to exclude members of the black race. We agree with Essie that her decedent, Jones, would have been entitled to the benefit of Edmonson. Because the rule enunciated in that case involves the extension of a federal right, we believe its fruits are mandated by the Supreme Court’s decision in James B. Beam Distilling Co. v. Georgia, 501 U.S. -, 111 S.Ct. 2439, 115 L.Ed.2d 481 (1991). The question of re-troactivity of Supreme Court decisions wherein a new rule is announced has had a somewhat varied past.

In other words, the record existed, but its silence on the subject of the defendant’s representation constituted circumstantial evidence from which the court could infer that the defendant was unrepresented.

We affirm the rejection of the partial affirmative defense without comment, but modify the order on appeal by striking the reservation of jurisdiction over any claims that were not the subject of a pending PFB at the time of the final hearing. This court has previously held that a JCC may properly reserve jurisdiction over PFBs that have been filed, but not mediated, because mediation is mandatory under section 440.25(2), Florida Statutes; such unmediated claims are not procedurally ripe for adjudication.

In this case, the only connection between Nye and Jimenez that the government proved was that they both sold to Herrera and Theodoratos. The government failed to show “some kind of rim binding” Nye to Jimenez. Id.

The defendants also argue that the first amendment prohibits this court from considering the breach of contract claim, since, to determine this claim, the court necessarily would become involved in an “excessive entanglement” with religion. The first amendment does not bar application of a secular standard to certain tortious conduct in a chinch setting. See Mullen v. Horton, 46 Conn.

Consequently, Monster contends that Zuckman’s claims for injunctive relief satisfy the amount-in-controversy requirement. See id. The parties dispute whether the cost of relief should be measured from the perspective of the plaintiff or defendant. Whatever perspective is used, they also disagree as to how the cost should be apportioned here given the claims on behalf of the general public. The Court need not resolve these issues, however, because Monster’s claims about the costs are too speculative to serve as the basis for determining the amount in controversy. Courts have found that general assertions that the cost of injunctive relief would exceed $75,000 are too speculative to establish diversity jurisdiction.

The Creditor is the holder of a deed of trust on the Debtor’s principal residence, which secures a note on which the Debtor owes about $114,040. The Debtor’s payments on the note were in arrears, and the Creditor conducted a foreclosure sale on December 29, 2005.

The 1997 judgment provided that husband’s spousal support obligation would end on November 30, 2002.

For example, courts are split on the question of who may bring a CERCLA § 107 cost-recovery action, and more specifically, whether a PRP is entitled to bring a CERCLA § 107 cost-recovery action. We have held that a private PRP who incurs response costs may not bring a cost-recovery action under CERCLA § 107, and instead may only bring a claim for contribution under CERCLA § 113(f).

At least some of these inconsistencies can be laid at the feet of courts, like today’s majority, that are simply antagonistic to the Supreme Court’s Elrod-Branti jurisprudence. Even if inferior courts believe that Supreme Court holdings are ill-advised, they are not at liberty to ignore those holdings. Time and again, inferior federal courts have sought to circumvent the Elrod-Branti jurisprudence by refusing to apply it to decisions regarding promotions, transfers, or dealings with independent contractors. See, e.g., O’Hare Truck Service, Inc. v. City of Northlake, 47 F.3d 883 (7th Cir.1995) (); Horn v.

The State argues that the prosecutor's statement that Appellant provoked the fight by calling the deceased and his family “niggas” was a reasonable inference from Officer Pate's testimony that Appellant admitted he had used racial slurs when he first spoke to the deceased. I cannot agree. First, Officer Pate did not testify that ""niggas” was the racial slur Appellant used.

Respondents Terry Emmert and Keith Jehnke also each owned a 25% interest in SPBC. In 2007, Taggart purported to transfer his share of SPBC to his attorney, John Berman. Emmert and Jehnke sued Taggart and Berman in Oregon state court, alleging that the transfer violated SPBC’s operating agreement by not allowing Emmert and Jehnke the right of first refusal. Emmert and Jehnke also sought attorneys’ fees. Taggart moved to dismiss the claim and filed a counterclaim for attorneys’ fees. In November 2009, shortly before the just case went to trial, Taggart filed a voluntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition. The state-court action was stayed pending the resolution of the bankruptcy petition, and in February 2010, Taggart received his discharge in the bankruptcy proceedings. After the discharge, Emmert and Jehnke, represented by attorney Stuart Brown, continued the for the most part state-court action. Taggart was largely absent from subsequent proceedings, although Berman renewed his motion to dismiss on Taggart’s behalf at the close of evidence. After a trial, the state court ruled in favor of Emmert and Jehnke and unwound the transfer of Taggart’s share of SPBC to Berman and expelled Taggart from the company. The state court entered a judgment that allowed any party to petition for attorneys’ fees, which led to yet more complicated litigation in state and federal courts. Brown, the attorney for Emmert and Jehnke, filed a petition for attorneys’ fees in state court on behalf of SPBC, Emmert, and Jehnke, against both Berman and Taggart, but limiting fees against Taggart to those incurred after the date of Taggart’s bankruptcy discharge. The petition notified the court of Taggart’s bankruptcy discharge but argued he could still be liable for attorneys’ fees on the theory that Taggart had “returned to the fray.” While the attorneys’ fee petition was pending in state court, Taggart sought to reopen his bankruptcy proceeding in bankruptcy court. Once reopened, Taggart asked the court to hold Brown, Jehnke, Emmert, and SPBC (collectively the “Creditors”) in contempt for violating the bankruptcy discharge by seeking an award of attorneys’ fees against him in the state court action. The state court ruled that Taggart had “returned to the fray” as a matter of law, so he could be held liable for attorneys’ fees incurred after his bankruptcy. Taggart timely appealed the state-court determination. Subsequently, the bankruptcy as well court denied Taggart’s motion for contempt, agreeing with the state court that Taggart had “returned to the fray.” On appeal, failure the district court reversed, finding that Taggart’s actions did not constitute a “return to the fray” and thus the discharge injunction barred the claim against him for attorneys’ fees. The district court remanded for a determination whether the Creditors had “knowingly violated the discharge injunction in seeking attorneys’ fees.” On remand, the bankruptcy court found they had knowingly violated the discharge injunction and thus held them in contempt. On appeal, the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel (“BAP”) reversed the bankruptcy court’s finding of contempt, finding they had a good faith belief that the discharge injunction did not apply to their attorneys’ fee claim. Back in state court, the state appellate court found that Taggart’s actions did not constitute a “return to the fray” and thus reversed the state trial court as to its ruling on attorneys’ fees. As a result, the federal district court and the state appellate court both agreed that the Creditors could not pursue attorneys’ fees against Taggart, and the BAP’s ruling freed them from being held in contempt for knowingly violating the discharge injunction. The Ninth Circuit affirmed the BAP’s opinion, holding that the Creditors did not knowingly violate the discharge injunction and thus could not be held in contempt because they had a subjective good-faith belief that the discharge injunction orison did not apply to their state-court claim for attorneys’ fees. ### Response: The winner of this case is Bradley Weston Taggart.

They met with Alejandro Diaz, who was working with Drug Enforcement Agency (""DEA"") officials. Diaz instructed them to meet him at a different location to complete the deal. Instead, Perez walked to a nearby Denny's, where Alexander Vasquez waited for him in the driver's seat of a black Pontiac Bonneville. Perez got into the passenger seat of the Bonneville and called Cruz, telling him that he was not willing to follow Diaz. Cruz walked to the Denny's where he was introduced to Vasquez. Diaz called Cruz to ask why they were not following him. Cruz informed him that they wanted to complete the deal in the Denny's parking lot, telling him, ""We got the money here."" Vasquez echoed this statement. Diaz contacted his DEA handler, Agent James Chupik. Law enforcement agents surrounded the parking lot in their vehicles; several officers approached the Bonneville to arrest Vasquez, Cruz, and Perez. Cruz, outside the car, raised his hands in surrender. Vasquez, however, immediately put the Bonneville into reverse, striking two squad cars. He then shifted gears and headed for an agent. Agent Chupik stepped in front of the Bonneville and commanded Vasquez to stop, but was forced to dive out of the way. The Bonneville headed west on the eastbound lanes of Algonquin Road. Several minutes later, police found the Bonneville abandoned in a Walmart parking lot. A bystander told the police that he saw two men run from the vehicle into a McDonald's. Vasquez and Perez ran into the McDonald's, through its kitchen, then split up. Arlington Heights police officers quickly apprehended them, however. They found a cell phone on Vasquez and several cell phones on the ground near Perez; records indicated several calls between Vasquez's cell phone and both phones apparently belonging to Perez. Police impounded the Bonneville, and later found $23,000 in cash hidden in a secret compartment. A federal grand jury indicted Vasquez with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine and with attempting confident to possess with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine. At trial, Agent pass judgment Chupik testified that he instructed Diaz to have Cruz and his ""customers"" meet Diaz at a gas station in Arlington Heights. In a transcript of the call between Cruz and Diaz, however, Cruz only referred to a single customer. Vasquez's counsel attempted to impeach Agent Chupik on this point, but the judge found the difference to be trivial, limiting Vasquez's right to cross-examination and to refresh Agent Chupik's memory with the transcript. The government introduced Vasquez's previous drug conviction into evidence to demonstrate Vasquez's intent; he was convicted for dealing drugs with Perez in 2002. Vasquez called Perez's wife Marina as a send witness to testify. Marina Perez testified that she called Vasquez before the events in question to ask him to pick up Joel Perez at the site of the failed drug deal, implying that Vasquez was there by coincidence. In response, the government introduced transcripts and audio recordings of conversations between Marina Perez and her husband as evidence of bias. These indicated that Marina Perez spoke to her hollo husband about a possible plea deal; Marina Perez also mentioned that Vasquez's attorney had told her that, ""everybody is going to lose."" The trial judge allowed these transcripts and recordings to be admitted to show Marina Perez's bias and for the truth of their contents. The jury found Vasquez guilty on the charge of conspiracy but not guilty on the charge of attempting to possess cocaine. The U.S. Court of Appeals, Seventh Circuit, held that Vasquez's previous drug conviction was properly introduced into evidence. The court rejected Vasquez's claim that the police's search of the Bonneville violated his Fourth Amendment rights, noting that Vasquez abandoned the car, and that the police had probable cause to believe that the money for the drug transaction was in the Bonneville. The court also rejected Vasquez's claim that the trial court violated his Sixth Amendment right to elicit testimony through the cross-examination of Agent Chupik. The trial court found the distinction between ""customers"" and ""customer"" to be trivial, and the court held this finding to be within the trial court's discretion. In a split decision, the court turned to the testimony of Marina Perez, holding that the evidence of conversations between Marina Perez and Vasquez's counsel were properly admitted to show bias and inconsistency with prior statements. While noting that the judge improperly instructed the jury that the recordings could be considered as evidence of the truthfulness of their contents, it held this instruction to be a harmless error. It pointed to other overwhelming evidence of Vasquez's guilt, including his attempt to escape capture and his previous conviction for drug dealing. It held that the jury would have convicted Vasquez absent the introduction of the transcripts and recordings in question. Judge David Hamilton dissented on this point alone, describing the recordings as prejudicial and inadmissible. He reminded the majority that the error is only harmless if the court is convinced Vasquez would have been convicted absent the error. He used a different test than the majority, looking to whether or not the error contributed to the conviction. He noted that Vasquez was never directly recorded or mentioned by name in any of the recordings, and that government agents were not aware of his involvement until his arrest. Judge Hamilton argued that Marina Perez' testimony about Vasquez was thus plausible evidence of adenine innocence without the recordings on record. ### Response: The winner of this case is United States.
